Show 1
ECW on Sci-Fi
The show opens with Don’t Question My Heart playing loud through the arena. The atmosphere on this night would affect even the stalest of people as everyone is anticipating the new changes in ECW….
Adamle: Hi everyone. The intensity is electrifying here tonight on ECW. I’m Mike Adamle and this is my partner Tazz. So Tazz, how are you feeling tonight?
Tazz: Mike this has got to be one of the biggest nights in ECW history. I’m having a hard time staying in my seat because after years off being on Smackdown I know Teddy Long has got a lot planned for ECW and no matter what he always delivers.
Adamle: Well speak of the devil…
Theodore Long comes down to the ring & with a mic in hand.
Long: HOLLA! HOLLA! HOLLA! Welcome everyone here and people around the world to the NEW EEEE-CCCC-WWWW.
The crowd gives a huge pop.
Long: Now of course you all know there are new horizons down here in ECW and as the playa I am I’m gonna shake things up even more. With that being said I’m gonna have to break your hearts for a second.
The crowd seems stale at the statement.
Long: I need for ECW Champion Kane to come down to the ring.
Kane makes his way down to the ring looking suspicious. He gets in and grabs a mic.
Kane: What gives Long?
Long: Well playa, as you know you are a Smackdown guy and since I have severed all ties with Vickie Guerrero that means you can’t be my champion. That is unless you win tonight.
Kane: No problem. Who do I have to beat?
Long: Kane, you have to beat my secret draft pick and reluctantly my moneymaker. Here he is…
Of all people MVP’s music hits and he stops at the top of the ramp. The crowd drowns MVP with boos.
Kane: Let me get this straight. All I have to do is beat the same chump that I set on fire a year ago and I get to stay on ECW?
MVP: Wait a minute man. First of all, MVP is no chump. You’re the chump. I mean what credible title defense have you had? None. Who have you defended against? Nobody. You lost to the tag team champions for god sake. Teddy you could’ve made this at least the slightest bit competitive.
Kane: Oh really MVP. You’ll find out tonight exactly how much pain I inflict on anyone I step into the ring with and even more. You’ll find out exactly how credible the big red machine is.
MVP: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Teddy after I beat this guy can I go on vacation or something. The competition won’t stand a chance so why not make them wait.
Long: MVP there won’t be any vacations given out. IF you win tonight you’ll be a fighting champion and seeing as though I want Kane to win and be ECW exclusive I’m making tonights match Falls Count Anywhere.
MVP: WHAT MAN! You know what Teddy. You’re the most racist prick I’ve ever met in my life.
MVP drops the mic and goes to the back. Kane & Teddy Long shake hands and Kane retreats to the back.
Long: Now that’s settled, I have to announce that The Miz & John Morrison will be the new ECW Tag Team Champions because they held the Tag Team Titles for such a long time.
The crowd boos.
Long: Hold on now. We will also have the Vixens Championship & the Television Championship coming to ECW after Night of Champions. But now its time for the rest of the show. Please welcome, The Protégé, Evan Bourne.
Bourne makes his way down to the ring.

Chimel: The winner of this match…Evan Bourne.
Bourne celebrates the victory until some familiar music hits. Carlito comes down to the ring. He has a mic in hand.
Carlito: Who the hell do you think you are? You can’t just come into the WWE and prance around and expect everything to be all cherries and rainbows.
Bourne has a confused look on his face.
Carlito: Does this sound like something foreign or something? Are you stupid or just deaf?
Bourne: Hey I don’t know what your problem is but I think you need some anger management or something. I didn’t come to WWE to piss people off, well, that is unless it’s necessary. And for some reason you already don’t like me. What’s you problem?
Carlito: You wanna know what my problem is…This is my problem…
Carlito spits an apple in Bourne’s face. Bourne turns to wipe his face. Carlito grabs him and hits the Backstabber. Carlito laughs and retreats to the back.
Adamle: Now what the hell was that all about? The kid was just out here entertaining the fans and that punk Carlito jumped him.
Tazz: Well that’s how it was in the old ECW. New guys get picked on until they earn their respect. Looks like Evan Bourne will have to gain Carlito’s first. We’ll see what happens with this soon I’m sure.

Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
We go backstage to see John Morrison, Layla & The Miz standing in front of a mirror.
Layla: It’s a shame all of these tag teams can even come within an inch of being as great as the chick magnet and the Shaman of Sexy.
Miz: Yeah Layla. I mean we’ve beaten ‘em all. The ECW Champ and Mr. Money In The Bank, The Brothers of Destruction, the past few tag team champions and even that duo of losers Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore.
Morrison: And the rest of the WWE is afraid to even step to us and challenge because our dominance is more radiant than the sun itself. Look at how many people we shoot down on the Dirt Sheet. None of the have the guts to step up to us.
Layla: And why is that guys?
Miz: Because we’re the be….
Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore walk up behind them & the trio turns around.
Moore: Its amazing how you two seem to talk smack every time but when it comes down to getting in the ring you have to cheat to win.
Morrison: Why don’t you two losers go play some video games or go to a rodeo or something? We’re done wasting our time on no-names like you trying to get a bump off of our superstardom. Just realize you’ll be sad little outcasts your whole life.
Yang: Then how about you two cowards give us a shot at those titles at Night of Champions.
Miz: Not a chance.
Moore: Maybe this’ll sway your minds.
Moore & Yang attack Miz & Morrison with right hands. Layla screams for help. Moore is all over the Miz & Yang takes Morrison out with a dropkick. Officials finally come to separate the teams. Miz, Morrison & Layla scurry away from the scene.
