ECW
Ep 2:
March 2nd 2010
We open up live to the ECW arena as the music of ECW General Manager Terry Funk. Funk walks out to the ring and you can tell that there is a lot on his mind. He had to watch as last week his good friend Mick Foley was assaulted by those two anarchists. Terry Funk would ask for a mic and begin to speak.
Terry Funk: Everyone saw what happened last week and I know many of you have questions and want answers. I am right there with you. I wish I could come out here and tell you I got everything squared away. That I could answer it… All I know is this. That man is a coward, that man is a nut, that man….
The mic gets cut off and the lights go out and the tron starts to malfunction. Then there is a voice and on the screen in the back of the production trucks we see the man and the woman. The man is in a black leather jacket and jeans again. She is draped on his arm holding him tight.
???: Where do you get off calling me a coward Terry? I am not a coward or some anarchist or some crazed fan. I am the Hound of Justice. My name is Dean Ambrose. This right here is AJ Lee. I am here as a death dealer of sorts. I am here to make sure that the crimes against Mick Foley are made public. That the right hand of justice is swift. Mick Foley is a criminal. He is a false idol that should pay for what he did. What your whole generation did. I grew up real fast, I learned from the false prophecy that Mick Foley would preach every single time he would step foot in that ring. Alot of my friends didn’t get here, didn’t get this chance to be on this stage. To have this platform because they broke their bodies in the name of Hardcore! So that they could make a name for themselves by bleeding in that ring, by leaping off of houses all in the chance that they would make a name for themselves.
Tell me Mick, did you ever once think about the consequences of your actions when you climb to the top of the hell in the cell and hurl your body off it? Did you think about the influence you held when teenage boys would try to recreate what you did? My friends can't feel their arms or their legs because of you Mick? And now they are addicted to pills because the pain never stops. I have come home to see my best friend hanging from his ceiling fan because he wanted to be you Mick. He trained to be a pro wrestler, and he couldn’t break the mold. He wasn’t some muscle bound gigantic freak.
So he had to go down your path to make a name for himself. He had to get busted open with steel chairs; he had to wrap himself with barbed wire so that he could hope to make a name for himself. When no one called, when no one would give him a job, he was at his wits end; he didn't see any other option; he ended his own life. Mick you are to be held accountable for that. That’s just one of many stories and I promise you Mick Foley that you will remember each one of their names when I carved it into your skin. Now as for you Terry, your little cheap shot on me well its going to cost you.
Dean points to his left eye as he speaks; it's bruised and red.
Dean Ambrose: You see, because I am told I got a pretty good case to sue you for everything that you have, I am not going to do that. I could take everything from you Terry. I am simply willing to forgo it to let bygones be bygones. However in order to do that you and I are going to cut a deal. You see I hear you guys have a PPV coming up in a few weeks, the first ever ECW Hostile Takeover and I want to be on the card. I want you to legalize it as what its going to be. A Public Execution. I want you to make the match and watch as I take that Old Yeller to the woodshed and put a bullet right between his skull. Mick Foley vs. Dean Ambrose at ECW Hostile Takeover. Make the match, Terry. I will give you one week to decide.
The feed cuts out as we go to break.
Match One:
ECW Tag Team Invitational
Curt Hawkins & Trent Barreta vs. ???
Before the match gets under way we are told that Hawkins & Barreta opponents' music hits reveal to be Blue World Order’s Nova & The Blue Meanie!
End Of Match:
Hawkins & Beretta are in control of the match right now keeping with quick tags and beating down The Blue Meanie on their side of the ring. Trent right now has Meanie in headlock and sends him into the ropes near Hawkins who gets a cheapshot in. Hawkins pulls Meanie to the outside and Nova runs over jumping off the steel steps with a double axe handle to back of Hawkins. Nova then with a back body drop on Trent.
Nova picks up Meanie and rolls him over to their side of the ring tagging in and then runs to the turnbuckle and awaits for the young duo to rise up and he would hit a cross body from the top rope to the outside. Nova sends Trent back into the ring and would start working on his knee. Nova with control now sends Trent into the corner and tags in Meanie. They tie him to the tree of woe and Meanie would hit a corner cannonball splash before going for a cover.
He would only get one.
Meanie would try to keep control and also work on the knee of Trent. He attempts to go for a leg vice knee bar Trent is able to reverse that and roll him up getting only a two count.
Trent, hobbling a bit tries to get some offense in himself pulling Meanie by the back of his shirt to the ground and then tagging in Hawkins who now firmly takes over the match and begins a series of attacks on him before climbing to the second rope. Hawkins looking for an elbow drop, he misses it as Meanie rolls out of the way. He hits a hot tag on Nova.
Nova is cleaning house with chops and punches; he then hits the atomic drop and big boot as Hawkins falls in the middle of the ring. Nova with a throwback here ripping his shirt and pumping up the crowd in a parody of Hulk Hogan! Super Nova is back! Byron would shout from the commentary table and he goes for the leg drop. He misses and Hawkins would grab Nova’s tights as Trent takes out Meanie on the outside. Hawkins with a handful of tights gets the victory.
Winners:
Hawkins & Trent by pinfall
After the match Hawkins & Trent roll out of the ring up the ramp with their hands held high. Josh states that you have to give them credit. They got the job done here tonight and you have to wonder if they are in line for a chance at the newly reenlisted ECW Tag Team Championship. The duo walk off as the crowd gives a nice response to Blue World Order as we go to break.
Back from back and backstage we are in the GM offices of Terry Funk. Terry is on the phone but, he ushers in someone who was knocking on the door. The person that comes on to the screen is none other than the thorn to ECW’s past side is the former leader of The Network Cyrus. Terry does not look happy to see him.
Terry Funk: Mick let me call you back but, I will take what you said into consideration.
Terry hangs up the phone and you could see the two standing face to face.
Cyrus: Whoa, Terry take it easy I come here to you as a friend. I have to agree that what happen was inexcusable and what that lunatic did to Mick Foley was vile. However while I hope Mick makes a speedy recovery my business is not about that. I am simply here to just offer my services as a former leader of ECW. I wish to see that it’s past is represented as much as it’s future. Which is why I am here to give you advice and a gift.
Terry Funk: Oh this should be good.
Cyrus smiles and then off screen grabs something and on the camera we can now see, its the old ECW TV Championship however this one is a bit different. It says Network across the bottom in purple.
Cyrus: Terry I saw last week you brought back the old ECW Tag Team Championship. I think that's a great idea. I think why not give the ECW fans more. Why not give the broadcasters, the network more and Syfy agreed with me. Which is why on behalf of them I give you this, the ECW Network Championship. Now as for the advice, well it’s this General Managers in wrestling never last. So make sure you always keep those in charge happy. You never know how long the leash is and when you may get taken off the air.
Terry Funk: Well thanks for the championship and the advice Cyrus. I got some other stuff I got to attend too.
Cyrus would bow out and the cameras would follow him outside where he would bump into Zack Ryder.
Cyrus: Woo Woo Woo Kid.
Zack Ryder: You Know It!
Cyrus: I got to tell you kid, I think you are trending upwards. You keep up with what you are doing and improve. You are a future world champ.
Zack Ryder nods and Cyrus hands him something as we go to break.
Match Two:
“The Fortunate Son” Curtis Axel vs. Ace Steel (Local Talent)
End Of Match:
This match is fairly one sided with Axel in full control. The son of Mr. Perfect he is hitting every move with pinpoint accuracy. Axel would then apply a sleeper hold and Ace would fight out of it gaining his first control of the match. That would quickly end after Ace would go for a DDT and have it reversed into back drop. He then grabs a hold of Ace and would hit a spinning Perfect-Plex and would get the one, two, three.
Winner:
“The Fortunate Son” Curtis Axel by Pinfall
After the match Curtis Axel would have his hand raised high as Scott Stanford stood in the ring to get an interview with the newest ECW Wrestler.
Scott Stanford: Well Curtis I have to say, that was an impressively quick victory here tonight. How do you feel?
Curtis Axel: I would say that was a pretty perfect debut huh? All jokes aside, I am very honored to be in ECW. I think a lot of people remember ECW for being the hardcore innovator right. What people do forget is some of the very best technical wrestlers have come through that very curtain and built a legacy too. You look at guys like Lance Storm, Jerry Lynn, Eddie Guerrero and so many more that wrestled here in ECW helped build this company. I have a legacy and a name I want to live up to and I want to also be able to help this brand as well. I look forward to the future here in ECW. Thank you very much.
Axel would exit the ring as we head to break.
Return to ECW as we are once again backstage with The Ruthless Roundtable (King Ezekiel, William Regal, “Lord” Wade Barrett) Regal & Barrett seemed rather pleased while King Ezekiel looks stoic.
William Regal: What seems to be the matter, my king?
King Ezekiel turns his attention to the ECW Championship on his shoulder.
King Ezekiel: ECW should be talking about my victory last week over Shelton Benjamin. I am the ECW Champion. I am the headline act of this brand and yet, here we are not talking about that. Instead we are talking about a savage and a jester. Dean Ambrose & Mick Foley both mean nothing as compared to this ECW Championship. I told these people last week that anyone could step up and I would knock them down. I was not kidding. So tonight once again, I am going to go out there and put this championship on the line. I don’t care who I face because in the end they all will fall.
“Lord” Wade Barrett: The Ruthless Roundtable will have your back my liege.
William Regal: And The Kings will, it shall be done.
???: I couldn’t think of a better man to play the part than I.
A sultry voice is heard and coming into the picture is Goldust!
Goldust: King Ezekiel if you are looking for a challenger, look no further.
King Ezekiel: Speaking of jesters, here's another clown. I was hoping for a better challenge but, it looks like tonight it will be an easy defense.
Goldust: Oh I promise you, I am no easy challenge. Why do you ask dear old Willie there? Kid, I been here a long, long time and trust me when I tell you that the old saying is true the bigger they are…. The harder they fall.
Goldust walks off hissing at King Ezekiel.
