*** Fade in on the squared circle... where we see a group of ring crew, using a spool of barb wire, creating new ropes between the posts... ***

Papa: Well ladies and gentlemen, what we are about to witness MAY NOT be for the weak of heart... as the ring ropes are taken down, and the barb wire is strung up... let's take a look back at this intense feud...

*** Shot plays of Erebus interrupting the Enrique DeMarco vs. Nightshade match, enabling Enrique to win the Showcase title... and then, the series of fights breaking out between the two... including their sanctioned match, in which Erebus earned a disqualification after refusing to release DeMarco from his Black Death sleeper... sending DeMarco to the hospital, nearly ending his life ***

Papa: Well folks... the feud between these two men... just intense... and using the word "violent" doesn't do it justice... especially after what we could see this match...

Tristan: Erebus is sadistic Papa... we could DEFINATELY see a career end here...

DING DING DING!!!

Richmond: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is for the GTW SHOWCASE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Introducing first... THE CHALLENGER...

*** The arena lights dim... but this time, a green spotlight shines on the entrance ramp... ***

Richmond: Making his way to the ring... EREBUS!!!

Tristan: What!?!? Aren't the lights so supposed to go out completely, and then Erebus appears in the ring?

Papa: A different entrance for Erebus this time... as he slowly walks out to the ring, and enters VERY carefully, being sure to not cut himself on the barbwire that now makes up the ringropes.

Tristan: You can't see it with that black mask on... but you know Papa... Erebus HAS GOT to be smiling!!!

Papa: I don't doubt it Tristan... the Showcase title is an afterthought here... this match is all about one thing... and that is HURTING your opponent.

Richmond: And his opponent... the GTW Showcase champion... from Mexico City, he weighs in at 265 lbs... ENRIQUE DEMARCO!!!

*** Big pop as "Ricky" makes his way to the ring... he isn't his usual, hand slapping self... focused not only on the ring, but more on the man inside of it... he hands his belt to the timekeeper, and slowly, carefully, he enters... ***

DING DING DING!!!

Papa: And here we go... this match ladies and gentlemen, has rules no different then any other singles contest...

Tristan: Oh yeah... EXCEPT THAT THERE IS BARB WIRE FOR THE ROPES!! Geeze Papa, do I have to show you everything?

Papa (sarcastically): Oh, right... I hadn't noticed... these two lock up...and since this match will for the most part be contested on the mats, away from the ropes... it has to favor the technical mastery of Erebus... DeMarco with the power advantage, bearing down on Erebus with a headlock... but Erebus is crafty... he locks on a reverse armbar... and spins, taking advantage in the grapple... DeMarco wraps his free arm around Erebus's waist... perhaps looking for a suplex... but Erebus sends a quick chop to it... and another... OH!!! DeMarco with an elbow to the back... and now he has a full waistlock on... lifts Erebus... but on the way up, Erebus wraps his leg around DeMarco's right leg... pulls forward... DeMarco rolls forward, and Erebus has a leglock clamped on... DeMarco reaches up for the ropes... NO!!! He stops short there!!!

Tristan: HA!!! DeMarco forgot the ropes were barbwire!!! He could have cut his hand off there!!! But... are there rope breaks in this match Papa?

Papa: Well, I asked Richard Kirkland before the match... and he told me... that yes... if one of these men is so desperate to escape submission that they are willing to risk a cut to a major artery to escape... then the hold MUST be broken.

Tristan: SICK!

Papa: Erebus now, releasing the hold... DeMarco a bit humbled there... and he gets back to his feet... locks up again... Erebus once again gains control in the grapple... he has a waistlock applied and... WHAM!!! German suplex!!! DeMarco slowly stumbles to his feet... and... EREBUS IS ON HIS BACK!!! Trying for the BLACK DEATH!!!

Tristan: Already??

Papa: Wasting no time.. but he can't get it locked on... the wily DeMarco able to escape... OH!! And he catches Erebus to the gut with a knee!!! He grabs ahold of Erebus's arm... THROWS HIM INTO THE ROPES--- NO!!! Erebus stops short, pulls DeMarco forward and WHAM!!! CLOTHESLINE!!! DeMarco down... Erebus grabs ahold of his right leg... pulls him back to his feet... DRAGON SCREW!!! And... pulls him up again... a SECOND Dragon Screw!!!

Tristan: DeMarco's being taken to school here!

Papa: DeMarco flat on his back... and Erebus applies a chokehold... the referee, who is outside the ring, yells at Erebus to break the hold... but being on the arena floor, there isn't much that he can do...Erebus finally gets go... applies an armbar... and DeMarco is again in trouble!!! Erebus could break his arm if he wanted to!!!

Tristan: Do it!!!

Papa: DeMarco in trouble... wait... he kicks his legs up... wraps them around Erebus head for a scissor!!! And now... he pulls Erebus's back onto the mat... slams his head into the canvas... up quickly and... WHAM!!! Elbow drop to the sternum!!! WHAM!!! There's another!!! Pulls Erebus to his feet... he has him up... STANDING ARMBAR!!! That's gotta be hurting Erebus... DeMarco has a lot of power, so you know he can put a lot of torque into that hold... Erebus though... tries to escape... slips behind DeMarco's back... clamps on a full nelson!!! But DeMarco breaks it... reaches behind his back.. snapmare!!! And he's got a chinlock on Erebus!!!

Tristan: Come on!! Too many submissions here!!! Use the barb wire for christ's sake!

Papa: You know both of these men are putting everything they have into NOT going into that wire... seperating the rest of us from DeMarco and Erebus's world of pain... DeMarco now has released Erebus from the hold... he's pulling the dark servant up... clamps on a headlock... but Erebus isn't going anywhere... he has DeMarco... BAM!!! Belly-to-back suplex!!! Erebus catching a breather for a moment... and now getting back to his feet, as does DeMarco... they tie up again... DeMarco trying to push Erebus into the corner... they are both dangerously close to those ropes now... DeMarco with a couple of punches to the head... Erebus stumbles back... DeMarco trying to push him face-first into the barbwire...

Tristan: This could get nasty...

Papa: Pushing him... pushing him... NO!!! Erebus strikes with a chop to the chest!!! DeMarco lets go... falls back and... WHAM-O!!! DeMarco gets him under the chin with a straight martial arts kick!!! DeMarco falls like a ton of bricks!!

Tristan: Uh oh...

Papa: Erebus now... looks to the booing crowd... he lifts DeMarco up... and oh no... oh God, don't tell me... he's going to throw him into the barbwire ropes!!! Irish whip and... NO!!! DEMARCO REVERSES.... and... UGH!!! EREBUS GOES INTO THE CORNER!!! HIS ARMS AND BACK RIGHT INTO THE BARB WIRE!!!

Tristan: UGH!!!

Papa: Erebus screams in pain, and falls forward... he wears a full-body black gui... but the back.. and the back of the arms... have been torn to shreds... and the blood is starting to flow!

Tristan: Expect to see a lot of that stuff in this match!

Papa: DeMarco now, stomping on Erebus's back... he picks Erebus up... suplex!!! That back has got to be killing him!! DeMarco lifts Erebus up again... OH!!! Drops him with a DDT!!! And the cover! 1... 2...

Papa: NO!!! Erebus kicks out!!! DeMarco pulls him back up... time to inflict more punishment... he pulls Erebus over to the corner... Erebus's bleeding has slowed apparently, but it is all over his back as well as DeMarco's stomach... DeMarco now... picks Erebus up... he's going to throw him onto the ropes!!! WAIT!!! Erebus grabs ahold of his leg... tripping him, and falls on top for a pin! 1... 2...

Papa: NO!!! DeMarco kicks out... he's up... but Erebus quick with an armdrag!!! DeMarco back up... another armdrag!!! He holds on... twisting that arm in an armlock... and now pulling DeMarco back to his feet... BAM!!! BAM!!! Kicks him twice in the gut for good measure... and... uh oh.. look out.. NO!!! DEMARCO GOES INTO THE ROPES CHEST FIRST!! He's been TORN open!

Tristan: Ewww!!!

Papa: DeMarco bleeding from the chest and abdominal area he turns around... WHAM!!! Erebus with a wicked chop to the chest!!! WHAM!!! There's another!!! DeMarco's blood splatters!!! Erebus now... pushes him back... OH!!! BACKFIRST INTO THE ROPES!!! That barb-wire... DIGGING into DeMarco's back!

Tristan: I think I'm gonna be sick...

Papa: Erebus now... with another chop to DeMarco... grabs him by the back of the head... and... OH MY GOD!!!! FACE-FIRST INTO THE BARBWIRE!!! Come on now!!!

Tristan: That's it!

Papa: DeMarco is bleeding all over the place... but still on his feet... Erebus sees his chance... to lock on... THE BLACK DEATH SLEEPER!!!

Tristan: It's over!!!

Papa: NO!!! Erebus has it on... but DeMarco rolls forward and... OH!!! EREBUS GOES INTO THE BARBWIRE!!! His whole body caught in it... his legs... arms... upper body... he looks like a fly caught in a spider web!!! And as he falls to the mat... that barbwire is TEARING AWAY at his flesh!!!

Tristan: Erebus's gui is torn to shreds!!! DeMarco has no shame... that's traditional where Erebus comes from!!! Papa(sarcastically): Right... whatever darkness-worshipping cult Erebus is in... Enrique DeMarco has had the gall to disgrace... well, Erebus's gear IS torn to shreds.. save for his mask... gloves... and his pants and boots... but he's still breathing, although losing blood fast... DeMarco now, catches him and... BAM!!! Belly-to-belly suplex!!! And now... grabbing him by the legs... he's flipping him over!!! Sharpshooter!!!

Tristan: Erebus is in trouble now!

Papa: Erebus close to the ropes... and... he's reaching for them!!!

Tristan: Is he insane??? He'll get his hands torn up!!

Papa: And... EREBUS GRABS THE ROPES!!! But... it doesn't seem to be hurting him... in fact... he's PULLING at the bottom strand of barbwire... and... he's pulling it from the ringpost!!!

Tristan: What the hell???

Papa: Erebus now has that long strand of barbwire in his hands... and... wait a second... it's gotta be his gloves!! His gloves have to be insulated... that's how he can touch the wire!

Tristan: Well then why the hell didn't he insulate his entire suit?

Papa: A good question, Tristan... in any event... he reverses the sharpshooter and... he's got that strand of barbwire... wrapping a piece of it around his fist... OH NO... GOD!!! PUNCHES DEMARCO IN THE FACE!! BAM!!! Again!!!

Tristan: That's sick!!!

Papa: The blood flowing from DeMarco's face... as Erebus takes the rest of that strand of barbwire... he's wrapping it around Enrique's neck!!! Good god... not only is he choking him... but tearing at his flesh!!!

Tristan: Jesus!

Papa: Enrique DeMarco has been busted open again... the blood is flowing all over the place folks... these two guys are tearing each other to pieces!!! Erebus now... stops the choking... and he's rolling DeMarco... I don't know what he has in mind here... rolling him towards the ropes... lifting him up... and now... he places his arms in the ropes... and... he's going to tie-him up in the barbwire!!!

Tristan: That's trouble.

Papa: Erebus trying to tie-up DeMarco's arms in the ropes, Andre the Giant style!!! And... OH!!! DEMARCO WITH A KICK TO THE GROIN!!! Erebus doubled over... DeMarco grabs him.. POWERBOMB!!! EREBUS IS DOWN!!! And DeMarco falls!!! He's losing blood fast... and it shows!

Tristan: You mean because it's all over the ring?

Papa: Well, actually, I meant since he is obviously fatigued... Erebus now... stirring... barely... he's rolling.. rolling towards the side of the ring where he ripped off that strand of barbwire that made up the second rope... and... it's an escape!!! Erebus rolls out of the ring!!!

Tristan: Is he quitting?

Papa: I doubt it... probably just ready to inflict more punishment out here on the arena floor.. our referee doesn't know what to do... he's telling Erebus to get back in there... but DeMarco is now crawling towards the opening... and HE falls out of the ring!!! On the arena floor... leaving a streak of blood as he goes... Erebus now... grabbing a steel chair!!! The referee is trying to grab it from his hands... Erebus though, pushes the ref aside and... WHAM!!! Nails DeMarco in the head!!!

Tristan: The blood is flying!!!

Papa: Well... I guess this match is no DQ... as DeMarco is down... Erebus just wallopped him there... and now... Erebus looking around the ring... and... oh god...he's found that spool... that spool of extra barbwire... and he throws it into the ring!!! Meanwhile... DeMarco is pulling himself up... Erebus, slowly walking towards him... tucks him in... looking for a PILEDRIVER... NO!!! DeMarco escapes!!! Backbodydrops Erebus onto the arena floor!!! He grabs the steel chair... WHAM!!! He whacks Erebus in the head with it!!! And now... he's throwing the chair back into the ring!!! The referee has lost all control here folks, but he's letting it go... he wants to see a winner, just like we do!

Tristan: I wanna see somebody get seriously hurt!

Papa: Well unfortunately, Tristan... I think you might get your wish too... DeMarco now... lifts Erebus up... rolls him into the ring... but he is staying on the outside... and he's looking for something under the ring... I think he's got it...

Tristan: A LADDER!!! *** Big crowd pop ***

Papa: Enrique DeMarco pulls out a ladder... he sets it up... and... he gives the signal for... THE DIAMOND DUST!!!

Tristan: Eh??

Papa: He climbs the ladder... he's outside the ring... and Erebus is in the ring... slowly getting to his feet... DeMarco is right behind him... he's going to jump off the ladder and hit Erebus with the Diamond Dust!!!

Tristan: No way!!!

Papa: Erebus is up... DeMarco's in position.. and...HE JUMPS!!! NO!!! EREBUS MOVES!!! DeMarco lands on his bottom!!! Erebus though... turns... grabs the chair that DeMarco threw into the ring and... WHAM!!! RIGHT ACROSS DEMARCO'S SKULL!!! And now... he grabs that spool of barbwire... pulls a lengthy strand off... HE'S WRAPPING IT AROUND DEMARCO!!!

Tristan: Jesus H. Christ!!!

Papa: OH GOD... that barbwire... wrapped all around DeMarco... and now... Erebus... JESUS!!! BLACK DEATH!!! HE WRAPS THE BARBWIRE-ENCASED DEMARCO IN THE BLACK DEATH SLEEPER!!!

Tristan: This is sick!!!

Papa: Erebus has got to be cutting himself... but he doesn't care!!! The two men in a pool of their own blood... and... DeMarco appears to be unconcious!!! The referee calls for the bell!!! DING DING DING!!! Richmond: Ladies and gentlemen... the referee is stopping this match... and is awarding the victory to Erebus... so he is your winner... and NEW SHOWCASE CHAMPION!!! *** The crowd boos, as Erebus releases the hold... his own arms and chest now once again bleeding from the razor wire. ***

Papa: Ladies and gentlemen... there is blood all over the place... all over Erebus... all over DeMarco... all over the canvas... and now... it's all over the Showcase title!!! This has got to be the sickest GTW match that I have ever seen!!!

Tristan: Yeah... but Erebus won it...

Papa: DeMarco... passed out... apparently from blood loss... the EMTs are on the way down... Erebus, who has lost a lot of blood, is barely able to walk out under his own power... folks this was insanity... and something tells me... it's not over yet between these two!!!
