EFW Massacre
EFW Arena - Glasgow, Scotland
06-08-2003

(The shot opens on "The Professional" Reid Kalahan, in a suit, carrying his bag towards the exit of the arena. He looks around as if worried someone will catch him. When he opens the doors, Vice President Red Dog is standing there. Kalahan jumps at the suprise)



Kalahan : "Jesus, what the hell are you doing?! Trying to give me a heart attack!?"


RD : "Oh no. I was just waiting here to remind you of your championship responsiblities."



(Kalahan looks around as if caught with his hand in the cookie jar)



Kalahan : "I don't know what you're talking about."


RD : "Oh? Good. It'd be unfortunate if you for some reason didn't show to defend the title tonight and we had to strip it from you."


Kalahan : "... strip it from me?"


RD : "That's right. But no need to worry - you're here.... right?"



(RD walks past Kalahan into the building)



RD : "Good luck tonight."



(Kalahan looks flustered. Quick cut to the EFW opening, then to a shot of the announcers standing at the announce position)



JB : "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Massacre's one-year anniversary!! In addition to the spectacular card we have for you tonight, our production department has compiled some of the best moments of the last year and we're going to celebrate them tonight!"


BH : "We're also told the President and Vice President have an announcement they want to make about something, but have been tight-lipped as to what this announcement is. We'll find out tonight!"


JB : "Fans, here's our complete card!"

"The Equalizer" Chris Wren vs Mr. Wiggles


"The Equalizer" Chris Wren vs Mr. Wiggles
Mr. Wiggles was cocky starting this one out, as usual. He wore a t-shirt to the ring depicting Tyrant chasing Godzilla out of Tokyo on his bike with the words "HWO Invades Japan" under the picture. Wiggles slapped the taste out of Wren's mouth to start things, but Wren jumped up and drop kicked him out of his shoes in response! Wiggles surged to his feet and threw a roundhouse punch which Wren ducked under and behind, kicking Wiggles in the ass as he passed and sending him sprawling! Wiggles ran right into a body slam, but then slid out of the ring to slow things down. Wren mocked him, and when he returned he back body dropped Wren up and over. Wiggles followed with a hard slam and a knee shot to the groin which drew boos from the crowd and a warning from the referee. Wren reversed an irish whip and sent Wiggles in, but his suicide drop kick just bounced right off of Wiggles' chest!
Sorry, no sale!
Wiggles backed the ref into the corner, then dropped some kinf of small sharp object out of his glove and jammed it into Wren's face before the ref could recover and see it. Wiggles slammed Wren down and discarded the object to the outside. Wren slipped behind and gave Wiggles a heel kick to the back of the head, knocking him into the ropes, but Wiggles roared out and shoulder charged Wren, sending him flying to the mat. Wren slid through as best he could and drop kicked Wiggles as he charged in, then gave him a rolling senton! A slam followed by another rolling senton crushed Wiggles down. Wren tried to whip him across, but Wiggles reversed it and lifted Wren over his head in a press slam! Wren was dropped hard on his back. Wiggles dropped and punched in Wren's face, then slammed him hard into the turnbuckle. Wren came out with a spin kick to the gut, but Wiggles totally ignored it and slammed Wren back to the mat once again, punching in his face afterwards. Wren then grabbed Wiggles by the belt and the neck and PRESSED him over his head!! Once, twice, three times Wiggles went up, and then he crashed down face-first!! The crowd went nuts for this feat of strength!
Three reps!
Wren hit the ropes and crushed Wiggles with a running rolling senton RVD-style! When Wren pulled him up, Wiggles mule kicked him in the groin, quickly cutting off the attack. As the boos rained in, Wiggles complained to the ref about Wren 'cheating'. He head butted Wren back to the mat before he could recover, then gave him a jarring STUNNER! Wiggles followed up the stunner with another knee to the groin. Wiggles didn't attempt a cover and Wren kangaroo kicked out of the next move, knocking Wiggles to the mat, then locked the clown in an STF!! Wiggles didn't give despite giving a girlish yelp when the move first got locked on. He fought out and Wren backed him into the ropes, but Wiggles just went off, beating Wren with both fists and knocking him down with a hard right. Wiggles followed this up by giving the dazed Wren a loud "DON'T FUCK WITH ME!!" before shoving him down to the mat. The fans gave Wiggles hell.
"DON'T FUCK WITH ME!!"
Wren would not be daunted, though - he came right back at Wiggles, lifting and slamming him down, then locking the STF back on! Wiggles was close to the ropes this time and got out quickly. He slammed Wren into the corner, then climbed up and punched him in the face. The crowd booed instead of counting along, so Wiggles stopped before the last one to give them all the finger and a loud issue of his catchphrase. This was a mistake - Wren recovered and shoved Wiggles down to the canvas, then climbed to the top and MOONSAULTED off onto the prone clown!
Moonsault!
Wren bounced off and no cover was made. The two reached their feet at about the same time, and Wiggles ran in and yakuza kicked Wren down to the mat! Wiggles then climbed to the top and dropped an elbow right into Wren's back! A cover by Wiggles following got two. Wiggles hauled Wren up and back brain lariated him hard to the mat, then whipped him so hard into the buckles he flew out flat onto his face, but a cover got only two! Wiggles complained to the ref about the slow counts, once again giving Wren a chance to come back. Wren grabbed Wiggles in a side headlock and took him over and down in the hold, Wiggles thrashing around trying to escape on the mat. He eventually did, but Wren grabbed his arm. Wiggles took a swing with his other arm, but Wren ducked under, twisting the arm, then ran up the turnbuckles behind Wiggles. In a flash, Wren ran down the top rope, then jumped off and CHOPPED Wiggles in the throat!! The crowd went nuts!! Holding his throat, Wiggles ran to the referee, begging him for help, screaming that Wren was cheating. When asked how, he just said "HE'S CHEATING!!!"
Walking the ropes!
Wren followed up with another rolling senton! A leg roll clutch caught Wiggles off-guard but only got two. Both men were up, and Wiggles caught Wren with another yakuza kick that knocked him to one knee. Wiggles groggily tried to follow with another, but Wren scooped him up on his shoulders as he came in. Wren then sent him spinning off in a hawian ace crusher!!
Ace crusher!
Wren then caught him in another press slam!! He measured Wiggles as he stood, then ran in and suicide drop kicked him, putting both heels right in his forehead!! The crowd was going nuts. Wiggles crawled towards the apron and a camera man, pleading "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" into the camera, but Wren dragged him back in. He lifted Wiggles and brought him crashing down in another hawian ace crusher, then gave the sign for the finish, bringing the crowd to it's feet! But that's when Hannibal came out to ringside. Wren locked the LCD on Mr. Wiggles, but right after Hannibal hit the apron and distracted the referee!! Wiggles was tapping like Sammy Davis Junior, but the referee didn't see it!!
LCD!!
Wren released the hold, and when he saw Hannibal, he drop kicked him right off the apron and into the guardrail! Wren pulled Wiggles up and LIGERBOMBED him to the mat!! 1-------2--------NEAR FALL!! The fans were going insane. Wiggles tried to grab Wren from behind, but Wren kangaroo kicked out and rolled through into a backflip, showing off his agility! Wiggles desperately tried for a clothesline, but Wren ducked behind and grabbed the rear waistlock. He gave Wiggles one german suplex... then held on and gave him ANOTHER german suplex for the cover: 1---------2-------NEAR FALL!! Wiggles barely got the shoulder up!!
Equalizer > RVD
Wren pointed at the downed Wiggles and the crowd chanted "L-C-D! L-C-D!" Wren was about to oblige when Hannibal crawled back on the apron. Wren went over and punched him off again, but it gave Wiggles the opening he needed to punch Wren right in the nuts!! Then Wiggles made the cover, pulling the tights out of the referee's sight, and Hannibal even put his feet up on the middle rope!! 1--------2----------------------3!!!!! Wiggles totally stole the match!!
BOOO!
RESULT:
Mr. Wiggles d. Chris Wren at 13:10 via pinfall
Experience
Mr. Wiggles - +2 (Win)
'The Equalizer' Chris Wren - +2 (Loss)
- +2 (the new Wren rules!)

(After the three is counted, Mr. Wiggles immediately rolls out of the ring, hops the guardrail and runs for the hills as the theme to the Benny Hill show plays instead of his normal music. Wren starts to give chase but then gives up as Wiggles was just not going to be caught. Wiggles runs to the outside of the arena, where a clown car is waiting. He jumps through one of the back windows and the car takes off, his feet still kicking outside the window. Hannibal stays at ringside, waving him on. The crowd boos the whole situation... until Wren leaps over the top rope into a cross-body block on Hannibal, crushing him to the floor!! Wren pounds in his head as security floods the area, eventually seperating the two)



(A video package airs before the next match, entitled "A Year in Moments". This one shows Nomad's trimphant return to EFW at Chance of a Lifetime 4 and going on to win his starting battle royal)


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "At this year's Chance of a Lifetime event, Extreme Firepro Wrestling saw the return of several of it's flagship superstars... including the incomperable Nomad."


Nomad Voice-Over : "Going in, I knew this was going to be a big moment for me, but until I walked through that curtain, not even *I* had any idea just how big it would be."


(The video shows the reactions of various fans all over the arena when Nomad's music first hits, then proceeds to show him clear the ring of Bo Abobo)


Bret Stillman Voice-Over : "You gotta understand, man - this guy is the reason I'm here today. He's the reason a lot of guys my age are here. When his music hit, I was just in disbelief. I had to see it for myself. It gave me goosebumps - hell I've got them right now just thinking about it!"


Nomad Voice-Over : "There wasn't a lot of doubt about how I'd do in there, but there was some. I mean, these guys are all younger than me, all looking to make a name for themselves. I knew I was a marked man out there..."


(Video quickly shows Jack Dod cheap-shotting Nomad in the back during his celebration)


Nomad Voice-Over : "... but once I got going, I knew there was no stopping me. I knew I was going to clear that ring."


(A quick montage of the eliminations)


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "And clear the ring he did: Nomad was the only man left standing after all others had been eliminated. With so few entrants left to go, most fans in the arena thought Nomad's victory was all but assured. Until...."


(The video shows "Iron Blue Intention" hit at COAL4 - some fans are shocked, some worried, some kneeling - as Vermin comes down the isle towards the ring)


Nomad Voice-Over : "I was just thinking 'Oh god, not again!'"


Bret Stillman Voice-Over : "I was shocked, excited, you name it - I mean, this is history...."


(Shot switches to show Vermin and Nomad standing mid-ring, nose-to-chest, as a million flashbulbs go off)


Bret Stillman Voice-Over : "... THIS is what this sport is all about. This moment right here."


Vermin Voice-Over : "There few greater satisfactions than inflicting pain on Nomad. Therefore, in this moment, looking down on him.. I was extremely satisfied."


(Video shows the first punches thrown between the two, and the crowd explodes!)


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "Nomad would go on to be eliminated by Pantheon leader Alexander Atlas... but rest assured, now that he is back where he belongs, there will be another day for Nomad."


(Video shows Nomad heading for the locker room, shaking hands with the fans, then fades)



Rebel vs Rio
Rebel and Rio shook hands briefly at the start of this match, drawing applause from the audience. Rio tossed Rebel to the ropes, but missed a jumping clothesline when Rebel ducked. Rio reversed a Rebel whip and sent him in again, leapfrogged over him, then caught him on the second return with a satellite head scissors whip! Rebel bounced right up and grabbed a side headlock, but Rio back suplexed out. Both men then threw lightning quick kicks that didn't connect, then stood at a standoff. The crowd applauded the sequence! Both men traded blows and takedowns until Rebel slammed Rio over the top to the floor. Rio came back in and planted an elbow between Rebel's eyes, then pinned him with a standing moonsault that only got a one count. The two traded takedowns again, this time Rio managing to lock on a boston crab, which Rio quickly fought free of. Rebel slammed Rio and dropped an elbow on his throat. Rio surged to his feet and landed an AXE KICK on Rebel, but Rebel grabbed him in a headlock and BULLDOGGED him out of the corner to cut off his offense!
Bulldog!
Rio responded to this by scissor-kicking Rebel, then giving him to kicks to the torso and going right back to the boston crab. Rebel countered a rear waistlock with a flying mare but was unable to follow up; Rio pounded him with punches and knees to the torso. Rio caught a charging Rebel with a drop toe hold, then suprised him with a japanese leg roll clutch but only scored a one count. Rio whipped Rebel across, but as he flew in with a flying cross chop, Rebel jumped and collided with him in mid-air with a flying cross body!! Rebel's momentum carried him through, but the cover only got a one. Having broken Rio's attack for the moment, Rebel followed up with a pair of side suplexes and a keylock. Rio was near the ropes and caught them quickly to have the hold broken. Rebel pushed his groggy opponent into the ropes and SPIN KICKED him on the return, knocking him flat. Rebel then climbed to the top and dropped the leg across Rio's neck!
Top Rope Leg Drop!
Rio attempted a kick to come back, but Rebel caught the leg, and after kicking it a couple of times, dragon screw legwhipped Rio to the mat! Rio hopped up limping, but it was an act as he caught Rebel right in the face with an axe kick that knocked him back a step! Rebel cleared the cobwebs and came in, but Rio caught him in a waterwheel drop! Both men were groggy, but Rebel acted first, jumping and catching Rio with a jumping neckbreaker drop! Rebel pulled him up and whipped him across, catching him with another spin kick on the return! Rebel grabbed a rear waistlock, but Rio jumped and kangaroo kicked out of the move, sending Rebel sprawling! Rio came in charging, but ran into a kick to the midsection. Rebel quickly set him for a powerbomb, then delivered the ROCK & ROLL POWERBOMB, but the move only got a near fall!! Vigilantes fans were stunned, as was Rebel himself, as he held up two fingers questioning the referee.
Rock & Roll!
Rio whipped Rebel to the ropes and caught him with a satellite head scissors, throwing Rebel into the corner. But when he got up dazed from the spinning, Rebel took the chance and caught him right in the back of the head with a rolling koppo kick!! Rebel rolled him up right after: 1--------2-------NEAR FALL!! Rio then kicked at Rebel, who caught the leg again, but this time ate a back brain kick! Rio locked in the boston crab again, doing damage to Rebel's legs. Rebel fought out and backed Rio into the ropes, then whipped him across. Rebel jumped up high and caught him with a hurracanrana on the return!! 1------2-------NEAR FALL!! Rebel was starting to show signs of fatigue as he was not quick to regain his feet after the kickout. Rio took advantage and gave him a FISHERMAN'S BUSTER, driving his head into the canvas!
Fisherman's Buster!
Rio hit the ropes and ran in for a satellite head scissors, but Rebel saw it coming at the last second and slid underneath, causing Rio to slam into the turnbuckles in the corner! As he slumped to the mat, Rebel climbed to the top slowly, and dropped the leg across his neck once again! Both men were slow to stand. Rio backed Rebel into the ropes and whipped him across, following in with a jumping clothesline that took Rebel almost out of his boots! Rio followed with another fisherman's buster. Rio then jumped up from behind and rolled Rebel up in a victory roll for a two count! Rio signalled to his fans, then wrapped the oklahoma roll on Rebel! Round and round they went, and in the end, Rio scored his first NEAR FALL on Rebel!!
Oklahoma Roll!
Rebel caught Rio totally by suprise with a kido clutch for a near fall!! It was almost over that quick. Rebel then dragon screw legwhipped Rio down and hit a standing moonsault! 1-------2-----NEAR FALL!! Rebel with a japanese leg roll clutch! 1------2-------NEAR FALL!! The crowd was on it's feet by this point! Rebel tried to spin Rio into another hold only to fall victim to the oklahoma roll once again! 1--------2------NEAR FALL on Rebel!! Rio caught Rebel in the leg roll clutch!! 1------2-----NEAR FALL!!! Rio stood up and measured Rebel for an axe kick... but when he went to throw it, Rebel caught him in the leg roll clutch again!! 1----------2-------------3!! The suprised and exhausted Rio couldn't kick out that time!!
Whew! Near fall mania ends with a leg roll clutch!

Rebel - +5 (Win)
- +1 (Performance Bonus)

The Hammers vs Captain Justice/Paul Savage
This one was no pretty, to say the least. The Hammers marched out to the ring against Cap and the returning Savage with purpose. Goliath told Wallace to stay on the apron and watch, and for thirteen minutes, that's all Wallace had to do. Savage and Captain Justice took turns tagging in and out, neither man able to make even the smallest dent in the massive Goliath. Goliath tossed them around the ring like a couple of disobediant children, occasionally having a good laugh at their attempts to hurt him. Chokes, slams, head butts and huge chops made up the majority of his offense, and Savage and CJ went from confident to totally frustrated in a short period of time. Savage eventually landed a good spin kick to the gut that knocked Goliath back a step, but Goliath responded by shoving him down so hard he bounced over onto his stomach. Goliath tagged in Wallace just for the finish, and he immediately covered Savage for the three. Goliath had demolished the two strongest members of the Justice League without breaking a sweat. The fans were in shock as the Hammers made their way to the back in victory.
Total destruction
RESULT:
The Hammers d. Justice/Savage at 14:22 via pinfall
Experience
Goliath - +8 (Win)
- +2 (Andre Bonus)
Wallace - +8 (Win)
Captain Justice - +1 (Loss)
Paul Savage - +1 (Loss)
- +1 (actually hit Goliath bonus)

(A video package airs before the next match, entitled "A Year in Moments". This one shows "The ICON" Rick Idol's successfull title defense at Armageddon 4)


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "At this year's Armageddon event, Rick Idol went into a match with four of the toughest opponents he's ever faced, and even the confident 'ICON' had doubts about his survival."


Idol Voice-Over : "This was the most important match in my career, bar none. I had a million things going through my mind going into this match. History with Vermin, history with Tyrant, and even history with Furlong. Three guys who all could claim a victory over me and who I could claim a victory over in return. There was a time when there wouldn't have been any doubt in my mind that I would win the match and retain, but this time I felt something deep in my gut. For the first time in a long time, I doubted I had what it took to win."


(The video shows the entrances of all his opponents)


Idol Voice-Over : "I felt it as Vermin's ceremonial entrance was going on, each title they held up I watched and remembered the history behind it. Furlong came out and I thought only of how he had just gotten me to say the words 'I Quit' for the first time in my career not even a week before. And I saw Tyrant come out, completely off his nut and looking more dangerous than I've ever seen him, and he knocked me unconscious on two occassions when he had a CLEAR head. All of this was going through my mind, and I looked at the title I had fought so long to regain, and had finally won on my own: no schemes, no traps, no help. I thought of all this, and I had doubts. 'I'm not going to walk out of this', I kept thinking. One on one each of those men in that ring had the ability to take me out, and I knew it, and I was taking all three of them on at once."


(Video shows Idol's entrance in slow motion)


Idol Voice-Over : "The video changed all that. I had no idea what was going on when that came on the screen. I didn't know who had put it together, and I just stared along with everyone else as my career flashed before my eyes in abbreviated form. Looking back on some of the worst and best moments of my career, it reminded me that my back had been against the wall before and I hadn't backed down then and had no reason to back down now. And then I heard something that I never thought I'd hear - people cheering. For me. Shouting 'ICON' at the top of their lungs without a 'sucks' at the end of it. For years I treated these people like pondscum, and now they were behind me. Irony, huh? They tell me David Mercury picked out the new music for me. Not very regal, but I gotta admit it charged me up big time as I walked through that curtain and saw everyone standing on their feet."


(Then, the video cuts showing various spots from the match in rapid succession)


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "What happened next? Pure carnage for fifteen minutes. Four of the toughest competitors in the history of EFW tore each other apart mercilessly. There were no friends, only enemies."


Idol Voice-Over : "Adrenaline combined with just pure stubborness is all that kept me going."


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "The champion took out Jack Furlong, the man who only one week earlier had made him submit in an I-Quit match."


(Footage is shown of the elimination)


Idol Voice-Over : "I won't lie: after the wars I've been having with Furlong this year, he's earned a lot of respect from me. But I took great pleasure in pinning his ass in the center of the ring after hitting the Legend Killer. After embarassing me a week before, and especially after the abuse I had taken in this match, that pin got my fire burning."


Furlong Voice-Over : "Call it whatever you want, pencil neck. I call it luck. Luck that Idol had those two retarded five hundred ton slabs of fat to hide behind. Listen, you want to verbally blow Idol, be my guest, but I don't care if the son of a bitch beats me a hundred times, I ain't doing it! As God as my witness, I will not die, I will not depart this earth until I break my right foot off in Rick Idol's ass. You got that?"


(Next is shown the footage leading up to Vermin's elimination)


Idol Voice-Over : "I've had people comment on the arm attack I used on Vermin in the match. It's something I've always fallen back on in a match, especially with the big guys: they can't toss you around with a hurt arm. Even so, I was as surprised as everybody when Vermin gave up. I mean, I figured I'd just continue to weaken the arm to prevent a Hammer of Hate or the 187, but then I see his foot tapping on the mat and heard the bell. I've beaten Vermin by pinfall before, and up until that moment that had been the biggest accomplishment of my career. Getting a submission from him... it's a different experience. I know how Furlong must have felt, now, getting that win in the I Quit match. It's a big deal, and I don't think anything else I'll do can top it."


Vermin Voice-Over : "For my part, I say only this: I would give Idol a round of applause, but my elbow will not straighten correctly."

Idol Voice-Over : "And then, ironically, it was me and Tyrant again. Round 7, you could call it. Only this time he was wearing those absurd HWO colors again. Make no mistake - I HATE the HWO. With a passion. At first it was because of their connection to Hogan, but it's long since become personal between me and that group. So yeah, Tyrant tossing me around like a ragdoll and powerbombing me AGAIN was pissing me off more than it was hurting me. I'm GLAD I made Tyrant submit. On the night the HWO reformed, I took their number one meal ticket and made im give up while retaining my title. Pure satisfaction."


(Footage of Tyrant's elimination is shown)


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "We attempted to get comments from Tyrant, but the HWO refused to speak with us, claiming they don't answer to 'biased media'."


(Video shows Idol laying on the mat afterwards, and then making his exit)


Idol Voice-Over : "My final thoughts on it all? I couldn't believe it, really. I laid on that mat and stared up at the lights as my music played and the ref raised my hand, and I just kept thinking, 'I can't believe I did it'. I still feel that way, bit. I mean, at any point in that match any one of those guys could have capitalized and pinned me, eliminating me first from the match. Heh, maybe it was 'divine intervention'. People are saying, 'he's no fluke!', now. Me, I feel like I've finally earned the nickname "ICON", and this belt around my waist feels better than ever. And Potterdam said I would be nothing without him."


Jim Biggins Voice-Over : "We agree with the champion. You can say many things about Rick Idol, but you can no longer say he's a fluke."



(For the next match, Hannibal is introduced last. As he enters the ring, he walks right up to Adams, then kicks and stunners him! Without missing a beat, Hannibal rolls out of the ring and walks to the back, leaving Guzman and Deuce with the downed Adams in the ring. The fans boo him as he walks to the back, pointing to his head a couple of times, then giving a rude gesture towards the ring)


JB : "Looks like we've got a handicap match!"


BH : "That's what Adams gets for trusting Hannibal!"


JB : "How can Adams possibly win now?"


Loser Leaves Town
"The Minitua Man" Kirk Adams vs Manuel Guzman & Deuce
Adams' fate seemed sealed before the bell even rang! Guzman jumped on him for the cover right as the opening bell sounded, but Adams had recovered enough of his wits to kick out right before three! Guzman hurridly pounded on Adams, then sent him across to the ropes, but Adams grabbed the top rope and slid out to the floor. He took a breather on the outside and that's when he realized he had no partner. Guzman pointed to himself a Deuce with a grin. A look of indignation crossed Adams' face, and instead of leaving, he rolled back in the ring! Guzman blocked an Adams punch and slammed him into the corner. Guzman rocked Adams with a chop, then sent him across, but Adams slapped away Guzman's dropkick on the return. When Guzman got to his feet, Adams hip tossed him to the mat, then the two took turns whipping each other into the opposite corners of the ring. Adams broke the cycle by slipping behind Guzman and back dropping him to the mat. Guzman rolled to the corner and tagged in Deuce, and that's when the defecit he faced first seemed apparent on the face of Adams. he was able to shake off the double-team by throwing Deuce into the turnbuckles, but Guzman caught him with a hard back drop from behind. Deuce then sat Adams up and drop kicked him in the back of the head! Adams slammed Deuce to the mat, but Deuce surged back up with an elbow to the face, then a second, then a third that rocked Adams back... then Deuce took to the air and slammed a fourth elbow into Adams' jaw, knocking him to the mat! It seemed like only a matter of time for Adams.
Jumping elbow!
Adams was seeing stars after that attack. Deuce hit the ropes for another jumping elbow, but Adams recovered and hit the deck right before Deuce jumped. Deuce changed directions and BODY SPLASHED him across the back instead! Deuce grabbed Adams and lifted for a northern lights suplex, but Adams resisted and countered it into a DDT! Adams hit a kidney punch and a slam, then whipped Deuce into the corner. Adams ran in and nailed a jumping knee into Deuce's chest, crushing him into the turnbuckles! Adams pressed the advantage, furiously dropping knees into Deuce's back and pounding him with headlock punches when he tried to stand. They were in Deuce's corner, though, and Guzman tagged himself in behind Adams' back. Adams went for a cover on Deuce and Guzman waited till the referee broke the news. When Adams got up and turned around, Guzman blasted him with the right that knocked him to the mat! Adams was quickly back up with a series of machine gun body shots on Guzman, then dropped a fist right between his eyes. Adams whipped Guzman to the ropes, hit the deck on the rebound, then leapfrogged over on the second rebound and hit the opposite ropes. But when he came in with a chop, Guzman sidestepped it and dove for a double leg takedown! Adams grabbed him and the two struggled - Adams finally won out and whipped Guzman towards the corner, but Guzman put the brakes on and whipped Adams to the corner instead! Then, running in, he jumped up and MONKEY FLIPPED Adams to center ring!! This exchange had the crowd on it's feet!!
Air Adams!
Adams rolled through to his feet but was out. Guzman charged in with a rolling sole butt rush and knocked Adams to the mat! The cover was made: 1-------2--------NEAR FALL!! Adams was still in it somehow!! Guzman got up and Adams was in serious trouble. Grabbing Guzman's feet, he tripped Guzman up, then stood and stomped him right in the groin! Adams took the moment to catch a much needed breather. Guzman knew it was happening and forced himself up. Guzman backed the winded Adams into the ropes and whipped him across, drop kicking him in the chest on the return! Guzman rolled Adams up in a jacknife hold: 1-------2--------NEAR FALL!! Somehow Adams made it out. Guzman, frustrated, pulled Adams back up, but Adams quickly slipped behind him and gave him a GERMAN SUPLEX WHIP!! Adams slowly rolled over on the mat, pointing to his head and laughing weakly. Adams had used Guzman's finisher - a trend between these two.
The Kirk Adams Whip!
Adams weakly lifted Guzman up on his shoulders for a samoan drop, but Guzman rolled through the move into a roll-up! 1------2-------Adams grabbed the bottom rope at the last second!! Deuce, frustrated, ran over and kicked Adams' hands off the rope! Deuce came in the ring for the double-team, but Adams bull-rushed him into the corner and began ramming shoulders into his torso. Guzman saw the chance and took it, leaping and wheel kicking Adams right in the back of the head!! Adams collapsed and slumped down the ropes to the mat. Guzman and Deuce then stood over Adams and mocked him, Guzman with Adams' own trademark pose!!
Insult to Injury
Deuce then rolled Adams to the outside. Guzman jumped up to the top turnbuckle while Deuce rolled out. When the half-dead Adams got to his feet, Deuce held him while Guzman soared off with a missle dropkick that caught him right in the face and sent him over the railing into the crowd!!! Chants of "E-F-W! E-F-W!" surged across the arena!!
!!!!
Guzman and Deuce followed him over the rail. Setting up a couple of chairs from scattered fans, they hooked him up and DOUBLE BACK DROPPED him right into the chairs!! Deuce locked the CURTSEY BEFORE THE KING on the immobile Adams. Guzman noticed he wasn't moving and the two had to drag him back to the ring and roll him in. Guzman went for a cover: 1------2----------NEAR FALL!! Where was Adams finding this strength!? Guzman back dropped him to the canvas. He pulled Adams up and somehow Adams found the strength to fire shots into his midsection. When this didn't drop Guzman, Adams punched the side of his knee, making it buckle. Then Adams stood up, grabbed the kneeling Guzman and gave him a very sloppy piledriver! Adams just sat there afterwards, as if trying to make sense of what was happening. He robtically grabbed Guzman and gave him another piledriver as his opponent tried to stand. Guzman still made it back to his feet before Adams, but he was starting to show signs of damage himself. He waved Deuce into the ring for the double team. Guzman grabbed Adams and held him from behind. Deuce climbed the ropes, but something in Adams warned him what was happening - he shoved Guzman off and into the ropes, crotching Deuce on the top!! Adams grabbed the stunned Deuce on his shoulder, then walked out a few steps... turned and TRIVIALIZED him to the mat!!! Guzman saw it coming and jumped to spinning wheel kick Adams, but it was too late, the move landed before the kick! Realizing what he risked by prolonging this match, Guzman grabbed a dragon sleeper on Adams... but the referee was checking on Deuce, who was not moving!! The ref called for a trainer, but the trainer couldn't get in the ring while the match was still going. Suddenly it was one on one!!
Deuce goes out!!
Guzman used a spinning neckbreaker on Adams and went for the cover: 1-------2-------NEAR FALL!! The Trivializer seemed to re-energize Adams somewhat - when he stood, he barraged Guzman with punches and knees with a CYBER BLOW! Then, scooping Guzman up, he gave HIM a Trivializer!!
Trivializer!!
Both men lay exhausted on the mat, Adams was unable to make a cover. Both men made it up at the same time, and Guzman kicked Adams down with another rolling sole butt rush, then ANOTHER one! Guzman rolled the limp Adams up: 1---------2---------NEAR FALL!! What the hell was Adams made of!? Adams slapped both hands to the throat of Guzman and lifted for a choke slam, but Guzman twisted out and arm dragged Adams to the canvas!! Guzman then stumbled over to the turnbuckles. He climbed up, and then noticed the body of his fallen partner between him and his target. He looked around at the crowd, and they roared at him to do it. So he did! Guzman leaped off the buckles and over his partner to body splash Adams.... but he spent too much time up there and Adams moved at the last second!!!
Amazing leap!
Both men were down after this again as the clock approached the 18 minute mark. Adams backed into a corner to rest, but it proved to be a mistake. Guzman came in firing shots at him, then sat him on the top turnbuckle. Guzman climbed all the way up with him and brought him crashing down with a SUPERPLEX!!
Superplex!
A cover: 1---------2---------NEAR FALL AGAIN!!! Guzman looked dumbfounded. He lifted the limp Adams up onto his shoulders and carried him over to the ropes. He then SPICY DROPPED Adams over the top to the floor!!! Adams crashed to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Guzman waited in the ring, possibly hoping he'd get counted out since nothing else seemed to work. But he didn't - slowly but surely, Adams crawled back under the bottom rope and into the ring. Guzman measured him for a spin wheel kick, but when Adams stood and Guzman pulled the trigger, Adams caught him in mid-air, turned him upside-down and TRIVIALIZED him to the canvas!!! Adams stood gasping for breath. He pulled Guzman to his feet and waved a finger in his face! Guzman threw a half-hearted right which connected. Adams threw one back. Guzman threw another, then Adams another, neither man wanting to drop. Adams waved Guzman on, and Guzman threw another one... but this time Adams hooked the arm and BACKSLID Guzman to the mat!! Guzman was taken totally by suprise!! 1-----------2-------------------------3!!!!! Adams pulled off the biggest upset in EFW history!!!

(President Walters and VP RD come to the ring before the main event. RD quiets the crowd down, the takes a mic)


RD : "I don't know about you folks, but that last match was why I'm a wrestling fan!"


(The crowd roars it's agreement)


RD : "It's been one hell of a year already. Where does the time go? Anyway, we're proud to have you here, thanks for supporting us and making this the best wrestling company going today!"


(Another roar of agreement)


RD : "Now the president and I have something we want to--------"


(All of a sudden 'No Love Lost' hits the speakers, cutting off President Walters in mid sentence. Ashton Adler emerges from the entranceway clad in his street arrire of blue jeans, a t-shirt, and his leather biker jacket, and holding a microphone in hand. The crowd erupts into a resounding chorus of boos upon seeing him, and a few begin to toss their drinks and food wrappers in his general direction. He takes one slow, disdain-filled look at the audiance around him before looking at Walters and RD standing in the ring and raising the mic to his mouth. )


Ashton : "Alright, that's it...I've had enough of this bullshit!"


(Ash kicks over a big sign bearing the EFW logo, sending it flying off of the side of the stage and onto the ground below.)


Ashton : "Now it's not very often that I actually come out here to directly address the big mass of morons. But then again this is Scotland. You can't throw a rock without hitting a moron, so I'll continue."


(Ash holds out his arms after his comment, soaking in all of the hatred seething from the crowd.)


Ashton : "Don't get me wrong, the only reason I'm out here right now is to take care of something that's really been pissing me off lately. Under any normal circumstances, I wouldn't be wasting my time. But with each passing week, I start to notice more and more the total corruption that in this sorry excuse for a wrestling federation!"


(He raises his right hand and points at President Walters and RD)


Ashton : "Corruption that you two are the sole cause of! For years now, I've busted my ass on three different continents. One day I find out that the EFW has a spot open for me, and I see my opportunity to not only work for a world class wrestling federation, but to gain the recognition I've worked so goddamn hard to earn. And what do I see when I finally get here? I see a little cardboard cut-out hero named Chris Wren, who would only be out here if he had a break in his schedule. I'm sure he's hanging out at some pansy-assed modern gym's lounge and drinking fruit smoothees with his little butt-buddies Roberto and Magnus ver Magnusson. But I personally have nothing better to do with my time. I see a washed up group of has-beens called The Vigilantes, charging back into action in a sad fuckin' attempt to reclaim lost glory. Nevermind that they're all talentless shitheads who have had every single title and award handed to them on a silver fuckin' platter, but don't forget the ultimate lazy shithead, The Nomad, who seems proud to be the leader of the biggest group of misfits I've ever seen. I see The Children Of Wonderland, who seem more content with playing dress-up and having tea parties instead of actually WRESTLING! I see The Justice League, two pieces of the most overrated garbage in this business, led by a guy whose face you'll find next to the definition of 'retarded' in the dictionary! And I see without a doubt the sorriest world champion in the world...'The Eyesore' Dick Idol! So it's not a matter of me NOT having the time to bring these problems to the attention of you people...it just boils down to the simple fact that I hate each and every single one of you."


(The crowd cheers upon mention of the various superstars' names, but boos heavily once more when Ash completes his last sentence.)


Ashton : "Oh yeah, that's right. God forbid you be grateful to one of the few honest guys in this hellhole of a wrestling federation, but it's perfectly fine to cheer the sorry fuckers who makes it a point to keep chapstick companies from going bankrupt by kissing your worthless asses each and every opportunity they gets! That right there has got to be my biggest problem; you people wouldn't recognize a truly talented athlete unless he walked right up to ya and jammed his boot right into your family jewels! And believe you me, I've come reeeaaal close to that point! And sure, you can go right ahead and call me a bitter asshole till you're blue in the face. When I came here to the EFW I figured that maybe, just MAYBE I had arrived at a place where a guy like me a hard working wrestler, could get recognition for his skills. Because that's what I am; a skillful wrestler. But what do I see instead? Barbed wire boards, flaming baseball bats, half naked women, exploding cages..."


(He points out into the ring again)


Ashton : ."..and two total jackasses running this freakshow."


(The crowd showers Ash with more jeers, and RD begins to lift his mic to speak, but it cut off by Ash before he can even begin a sentence.)


Ashton : "You shut your goddamned hole! You're responsible for this shit and you KNOW IT! When I've worked my ass off for YEARS just to have you two pass me up with a shit eating prettyboy who hocks t-shirts, or an escaped mental patient who can hurl a fireball but wouldn't know the difference between an armbar and an armchair, or a so-called 'world champion" who is way past his prime and can be knocked out with a sneeze, then how do you expect me NOT to be a bitter asshole? You guys know exactly who you are, and you continue to play up to these mindless sheep you call 'fans' as if they actually CARE about you! You're all nothing but flavors of the month, and the only positive side to this cycle is that once the idiots in the crowd grow bored with your little act, they won't hesitate to toss your ass in the garbage where you BELONG."


(Ashton nods his head assuringly and fends off another barrage of paper cups and wrappers as he walks out onto the middle of the ramp.)


RD : "Listen, Adler. These people are telling you you're full of shit, and they're right."


Ashton : "Oh you KNOW what I'm saying is the whole truth and nothing but! When are you going to look yourselves in the mirror and accept the fact that the only reason these 'fans' give a shit about you, and the only reason they adopt you as their 'heros' is because you are so much like alike? You're BOTH worthless, and you know how misery loves company! Why else would you fucksticks boo someone like Jack Furlong?"


(Ashton uses his free hand to point down to his crotch.)


Ashton : "Because you're JEALOUS that you'll never have the balls and fortitude that he does! Why else would you boo a guy like Kirk Adams?"


(Ashton then raises the same hand up, extends his index finger, and taps it against the side of his head)


Ashton : "It's because you're JEALOUS that you don't have HALF of the intelligence that he does! Why else do you boo guys like Zack Sirus and Reid Kalahan?"


(Ashton points out to the crowd, and then throws his arm to the side in a quick sweeping motion)


Ashton : "It's because you're all JEALOUS of the confidince and athleticism that they're overflowing with! Why else would you boo The Dods?"


(Ashton lowers his hand and balls it up into a fist)


Ashton : "Because you're JEALOUS that your own families done have the same sort of close bond and unity that theirs does!"


(The crowd lets Ashton have it with another loud chorus of boos and jeers, but he simply lowers his head and raises his index finger into the air.)


Ashton : "And then we have problem is the Extreme Firepro Wrestling head office. Oh how the mighty have fallen, EFW! Things were all fine and dandy until YOU President Walters made your grand return. And what have we seen since then? In your INFINITE wisdom, you and your little yes-man RD have given title shots left and right to the biggest losers in this promotion! You're putting the integrity of these titles at stake by offering them to guys who by all means should be BEGGING to be let into J.P. Woody Handcock's stable of retards! Since when did any self-respecting wrestling promotion decide to start handing out title belts to a bunch of worthless hacks to make up for their lack of wrestling skill? Did one of the McMahons suddenly buy the EFW the last time I got shitfaced and passed out? I thought we were in Scottland, not Stamford! Your bias towards these useless wrestling school rejects just goes to show how intent you are with holding down and holding back the REAL wrestlers in this federation! But my biggest problem....by far my BIGGEST problem has to do with the EFW as a whole. Ya see..."


(Ash raises his free arm and points directly above him to a giant suspended banner bearing the EFW logo)


Ashton : "...what you ALL need to realize is that these three letters above me are a BLATANT LIE! That all of you wrestlers in the back who continue to abuse your bodies and minds for this promotion, you are living a BLATANT LIE! That all of you mindless, senseless, ignorant assholes in the crowd are supporting a BLATANT LIE! And that you, President Walters, and you, RD, are the biggest con artists and LIARS on the face of God's green earth. But if there's one thing you can be sure of, you can bet your asses that I'm not going to sit around and let this shit go on any longer! This ceremony is nothing but the celebration of a tradition of nonstop garbage and corruption! But you all had better enjoy this anniversery while it lasts, because with God as my witness, Extreme Firepro Wrestling..."


(Ash pulls a flyer bearing the EFW logo out of his pocket, holds it up in front of him with both hands for all to see, and then slowly rips it in half, revealing his dead serious face and letting the pieces slowly waft to the ground)


Ashton : "...this is only the beginning!"


(Ashton throws down the mic and is met with a thundering cacophony of boos. He begins to walk towards the backstage area but stops in front of a nearby cameraman and grabs the lens with one hand, pointing to it with the other and yelling 'I'm doing YOU ALL a favor!' before walking off into the back)





JB : "What the hell is wrong with that kid? He's ruined the whole night! Hey Ashton, if you don't like it here, LEAVE!!"


BH : "Now the pres and VP are leaving without making their announcement. Thanks a lot, Adler."


JB : "... well, fans, we still have our main event to go, and it's on next!"


MAIN EVENT
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH

"The Professional" Reid Kalahan vs "The Siberian Sadist" Alexi Markoff
Markoff had won both of the previous two encounters between these two. Would tonight go his way also? Kalahan tried to start things off quick with a whip to the ropes and a spear, but Markoff dodged it and Kalahan landed face-first on the canvas. The two struggled back and forth, each looking for a takedown, until Kalahan finally found it with a pair of fireman's carry takedowns, each followed by an elbow drop, and then a quick pair of headlock takedowns. Markoff slid out of the ring to re-compose himself after this, which brought an arrogant smirk to Kalahan's face. Markoff saw that and came right back in, slamming the champion into the corner buckles. Markoff grabbed Kalahan while he was slightly stunned and took him down in a front facelock, then hooked in a double arm and necklock. Kalahan didn't stay stunned long and twisted out of the move, catching Markoff under both arms and overhead suplexing him! Kalahan then locked on a bow & arrow backbreaker, but Markoff struggling and the hold wasn't on long enough to be effective. The two came to their feet and Markoff resorted to brawling, punching and knee kicking Kalahan to the mat. Markoff pulled him to his knees, but Kalahan quickly ducked behind and twisted-style backdropped Markoff to the mat! Holding on, Kalahan pulled the struggling Markoff up and hit another backdrop, then pulling him up again, he hooked on a full nelson and DRAGON SUPLEX WHIPPED Markoff to the canvas! Markoff hit the mat with enough force to roll back onto his feet, and Kalahan his stunned opponent for ANOTHER twisted backdrop!! After this Kalahan rolled Markoff over for the cover: 1-------2--------NEAR FALL!!
Suplex parade!
Kalahan stayed on Markoff, pulling him right up after the pin. Markoff fired back with shots to the torso, but Kalahan kicked him low and jumping piledrived him to the mat! Smelling blood, Kalahan hooked Markoff and delivered the GOLDWINNER - but Markoff's feet landed in the ropes!! Kalahan pulled him up, but Markoff slammed him head-first into the turnbuckle. Markoff lifted Kalahan to sit him on the top, but Kalahan wouldn't go, and reversed the move into a FALCON ARROW!! The referee made the count: 1-----------2---------------3!! Kalahan rolled out of the ring and grabbed his title belt, a slight look of suprise on his face. What happened to Markoff?
Falcon Arrow!
RESULT:
Kalahan d. Markoff at 7:22 via pinfall (Falcon Arrow)
Experience
Reid Kalahan - +5 (Win)
Alexi Markoff - +1 (Loss)


JB : "Holy smokes! I guess the third time is a charm for Kalahan!"


BH : "I guess so. When it was on the line, he showed up, and Markoff didn't."


JB : "See you next time, EFW fans!!"
