DZW starts to air and it opens with a short promo of last week's closing events.
The promo closes and the DZW into starts to play.
The cameras open in the Wachovia Spectrum at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and pyros start to come out from the ring posts followed by a huge blast from the pyros that were set up from inside the ring. The fans let out a huge pop as they start to get off their seats cheering and getting pumped up to see some fast paced action. The cameras pan out to the audience who continue to cheer. The camera eventually goes to ringside with "JJ" Jeff Jackson and "The Master of The Diamond Cutter" Diamond Dallas Page on commentary.
JJ: Welcome folks for yet another edition of DZW Friday Night Fury! and we are just days away till our first Pay-Per-View No Regrets.
DDP: Thats right JJ, and what a Pay-Per-View it is shaping up to be.
JJ: What a Pay-Per-View its shaping up to be indeed, But we have to set our attention to tonight's event first cause tonight we got an amazing line-up that will no doubt excite all of you. First we got Rhino who had his fair share of bad luck last week thanks to Abyss' mind games. Rhino was setting up for the Gore when he was distracted by what we thought was Abyss' arrival which turned out to be false and Vampiro capitalized having Rhino lose his first match coming into DZW.
DDP: Losing you're first match is a big thing to lose JJ, See the first match is what defines you in front of these people. It's the match that makes the people have first impressions about you and after what happened last week. Looks like Rhino gave them a bad impression.
JJ; Now the question stands. Can Rhino redeem himself tonight and beat his opponent Kevin Thorn. A man who has been a threat to the company since day one. Also we got Abyss' answer towards Rhino's challenge towards him for a match on No Regrets.
DDP: and it is no ordinary match JJ. It's the Barbedwire Massacre match which just spells out trouble for both men entering the match.
JJ: Thats right DDP and from there we move on to Triple X and the Motor City Machine Gun's because tonight one member from each team is going to face off inside that very ring in singles action but heres the catch. Their partners are banned from ringside and you know Triple X has to be worried about that.
DDP: Worried? Well thats not a nice way to describe our Tag Team Champions. Now is it JJ?
JJ: Ohh, Give me a break. Triple X haven't won a match without cheating and losing one member from you're side is a big thing cause you know how their minds think when their together.
DDP: Well whatever JJ. Cause tonight we get a little preview of what were going to see on No Regrets because on Sunday these two, Together with their teamates will face off in a tag- team match for the DZW Tag-Team Championship.
JJ: Speaking of championships, The No Limits Championship has caused a little bit of a ruckus between some of our talent over the weeks after the huge gauntlet match we had two weeks ago.
DDP: Two weeks ago we crowned our first ever DZW No Limits Champion, Austin Aries who entered the gauntlet at number three.
JJ: and we can say that not everybody was happy for him that day.
DDP: Not at all. Bryan Danielson who was the last to enter put in a hell of a fight but in the end failed to do what he said he'd do and that was win the DZW No Limits Championship.
JJ: and at the other side of the story we got Homicide and John Morrison who have been at an all out war lately due to Morrison's actions during the gauntlet match. Well knowing the man Homicide is, He didn't find Morrison's actions acceptable and did something about it by causing Morrison the championship during the gauntlet match.
DDP: It's like a see-saw for these guys cause last week Morrison returned the favor by causing Homicide a shot at the championship after distracting him and helping the vengeful Danielson to take the win.
JJ: Well all four men are going to be seeing eachother later in the ring cause tonight we have them paired up and will be teaming up in a tag-team match later on the show with the team of our Number One Contender Bryan Danielson and John Morrison taking on the team of Homicide and our DZW No Limits Champion Austin Aries.
DDP: Speaking of champions. We have yet to crown a World Heavyweight Champion due to various controversies and tonight we see one get taken care the old fashioned way with Samoa Joe taking on RVD.
JJ: What entered as allies came out as bitter enemies due to a little misunderstanding during their tag-team match last week with a little help from Raven.
DDP: RVD accidentally hit Samoa Joe square on the head with a Singapore Cane which was brought into play by Raven while the ref was distracted and cause the match for the team of Joe and RVD.
JJ: Tonight we will have a word with both men and how they feel about last weeks turn of events and we shall see them but heads tonight. By Samoa Joe's request in singles action.
DDP: I've known Raven for years and I know this is what he planned inside that sadistic head of his.
JJ: Well you know what? I hope is sitting happy on his chair right now cause he just ruined a great friendship between RVD and Samoa Joe.
The commentators suddenly get cut off as the sound of the Brood's theme plays throughout the arena.
DDP: Well I guess its enough of that and now lets get into the action!
The stage produces a ring of flames and from under the stage comes Kevin Thorn with Gangrel being lifted up to the stage. He steps over the ring of fire and slowly walks down the ring.

JJ: Welcome folks for yet another edition of DZW Friday Night Fury! and we are just days away till our first Pay-Per-View No Regrets.
DDP: Thats right JJ, and what a Pay-Per-View it is shaping up to be.
JJ: What a Pay-Per-View its shaping up to be indeed, But we have to set our attention to tonight's event first cause tonight we got an amazing line-up that will no doubt excite all of you. First we got Rhino who had his fair share of bad luck last week thanks to Abyss' mind games. Rhino was setting up for the Gore when he was distracted by what we thought was Abyss' arrival which turned out to be false and Vampiro capitalized having Rhino lose his first match coming into DZW.
DDP: Losing you're first match is a big thing to lose JJ, See the first match is what defines you in front of these people. It's the match that makes the people have first impressions about you and after what happened last week. Looks like Rhino gave them a bad impression.
JJ; Now the question stands. Can Rhino redeem himself tonight and beat his opponent Kevin Thorn. A man who has been a threat to the company since day one. Also we got Abyss' answer towards Rhino's challenge towards him for a match on No Regrets.
DDP: and it is no ordinary match JJ. It's the Barbedwire Massacre match which just spells out trouble for both men entering the match.
JJ: Thats right DDP and from there we move on to Triple X and the Motor City Machine Gun's because tonight one member from each team is going to face off inside that very ring in singles action but heres the catch. Their partners are banned from ringside and you know Triple X has to be worried about that.
DDP: Worried? Well thats not a nice way to describe our Tag Team Champions. Now is it JJ?
JJ: Ohh, Give me a break. Triple X haven't won a match without cheating and losing one member from you're side is a big thing cause you know how their minds think when their together.
DDP: Well whatever JJ. Cause tonight we get a little preview of what were going to see on No Regrets because on Sunday these two, Together with their teamates will face off in a tag- team match for the DZW Tag-Team Championship.
JJ: Speaking of championships, The No Limits Championship has caused a little bit of a ruckus between some of our talent over the weeks after the huge gauntlet match we had two weeks ago.
DDP: Two weeks ago we crowned our first ever DZW No Limits Champion, Austin Aries who entered the gauntlet at number three.
JJ: and we can say that not everybody was happy for him that day.
DDP: Not at all. Bryan Danielson who was the last to enter put in a hell of a fight but in the end failed to do what he said he'd do and that was win the DZW No Limits Championship.
JJ: and at the other side of the story we got Homicide and John Morrison who have been at an all out war lately due to Morrison's actions during the gauntlet match. Well knowing the man Homicide is, He didn't find Morrison's actions acceptable and did something about it by causing Morrison the championship during the gauntlet match.
DDP: It's like a see-saw for these guys cause last week Morrison returned the favor by causing Homicide a shot at the championship after distracting him and helping the vengeful Danielson to take the win.
JJ: Well all four men are going to be seeing eachother later in the ring cause tonight we have them paired up and will be teaming up in a tag-team match later on the show with the team of our Number One Contender Bryan Danielson and John Morrison taking on the team of Homicide and our DZW No Limits Champion Austin Aries.
DDP: Speaking of champions. We have yet to crown a World Heavyweight Champion due to various controversies and tonight we see one get taken care the old fashioned way with Samoa Joe taking on RVD.
JJ: What entered as allies came out as bitter enemies due to a little misunderstanding during their tag-team match last week with a little help from Raven.
DDP: RVD accidentally hit Samoa Joe square on the head with a Singapore Cane which was brought into play by Raven while the ref was distracted and cause the match for the team of Joe and RVD.
JJ: Tonight we will have a word with both men and how they feel about last weeks turn of events and we shall see them but heads tonight. By Samoa Joe's request in singles action.
DDP: I've known Raven for years and I know this is what he planned inside that sadistic head of his.
JJ: Well you know what? I hope is sitting happy on his chair right now cause he just ruined a great friendship between RVD and Samoa Joe.
The commentators suddenly get cut off as the sound of the Brood's theme plays throughout the arena.
