**The Cow Palace in San Francisco, California fills to full capacity as pyros begin blasting off all over the arena and “Cure My Tragedy” by Cold begins blasting on the loud speakers. The crowd erupts in cheers and thousands of people hold up their signs as the cameras scan over the entire arena then focus on the announcer table set up to the left of ringside where Joey Styles and Bobby Heenan are sitting.**
JS: “Hello everyone and welcome to eHw Battery!! I’m Joey Styles with my partner Bobby Heenan and tonight eHw’s best and brightest are going to administer a whole lot of battery upon each other, all in the name of hardcore wrestling and success!”
BH: “It’s in the name of success more than just beating the hell out of each other. EHw is cookin’ hotter than Emeril right now and everyone in that locker room knows that this is the time for them to show their fellow wrestlers and the growing eHw audience, that they are the best of the best.”
JS: “We have seen an explosion of new talent on the scene here in eHw in the last two weeks and this show has the makings of one of the best shows of the year for eHw, but in the end it is secondary to the pay per view extravaganza coming up on the twenty fourth, Sanitarium.”
BH: “We already know that the main event is going to be an eHw style Elimination Chamber Match for the eHw World Title. We know the champion will be in there, but he’ll be in there with five other wrestlers all gunning for the greatest prize in the land. Maybe tonight, we’ll have some light shed on who the participants will be and what other matches may be taking place at that historic event.”
JS: “But that is a few weeks down the line, right here and now we have card packed with hardcore action and excitement. We have two titles on the line, and our main event features a champion versus champion match up between two bitter rivals that just over a month ago, fought in the most hardcore match in eHw history.”
BH: “Mike Awesome and The Sandman flat out hate each other’s guts. They want to eliminate each other from the world of professional wrestling. The Sandman came out on top of Mike Awesome at Cyberslam, but that was then and this is now. Now, Mike Awesome is the eHw World Champion and won the title in decisive fashion over Al Snow this past Friday on Fury by Awesome Bombing him through three flaming tables. If The Sandman thinks he is walking right over Mike Awesome, he is sadly mistaken because Awesome is going to give him the fight of his life because they aren’t fighting for pride this time. They are fighting for the eHw World Heavyweight Title in a Man in a Box Match.”
JS: “We have also been told that both former world champion Al Snow and eHw Owner and President Paul Heyman will comment on the imminent future of the tag titles and their possible return. This will be Al Snow’s first time in front of the cameras since losing the world title this past Friday so it will be interesting to here what he has to say.”
BH: “Since when has Al Snow ever said anything interesting? If anyone from the ETF has been saying interesting things, it is Hardcore Holly. He is starting to step out from behind Al Snow’s shadow and has really shaken things up over the past week with his comments about the Deathmatch Title. I’m liking the guy more and more as the days go bye but tonight he has to get through Sean O’Haire and the Alpha Male Monty Brown to even get near his goal of retiring the Deathmatch Title in favor of returning the TV Title.”
JS: “All that plus a Dumpster and Stairway to Hell Match which we’ll have more on as the night goes on but right now it is time for our first match of the evening which will be the aforementioned Three Way Dance for the Deathmatch Title Number One Contendership.”
**The cameras go to the ring where Sean O’Haire is already standing in the far right corner of the ring. The lights in the arena dim as Monty Brown’s music comes on and the Alpha Male jumps out from behind the curtain. Monty Brown makes his way down to the ring to the boos of the crowd but keeps a look of anger and paranoia on his face that give him the demeanor of a mad man. Brown gets into the ring and fastly paces back and forth waiting for the final participant to come down to the ring. Brown’s music fades and “How Do You Like Me Now?!” is heard as Hardcore Holly slowly makes his way through the curtain and stands at the head of the entryway with his hands on his hips. Holly walks down to the ring, walks up the ring steps, climbs up to the top rope, then spins into the ring throwing his hands up into the air simultaneously. Holly gets down into the ring and as soon as he does he is attacked by Monty Brown!**
Holly’s music stops playing as Brown beats Holly down to the mat with a series of right and left fists and forearms. Brown picks Holly up and whips him off the ropes then bounces off the side ropes, Sean O’Haire goes for a side kick on Holly but Holly ducks it, pushes him in front of Brown as he is running, and Brown nails O’Haire with the Pounce!! Brown makes a cover on O’Haire as Holly gets out of the ring, 1...2..3! Sean O’Haire is eliminated as Holly grabs a chair from the outside and slides back into the ring with it. Brown rolls O’Haire out of the ring then gets up to his feet and when he does he is greeted with a chair shot right between the eyes! Brown goes down and is apparently knocked out by the shot as Holly tosses the char aside and makes a cover of his own, 1..2...NO! Brown kicks out, then rolls up to his feet as if he wasn’t hit at all by Holly. A look of concern comes over Holly’s face as Brown yells for him to bring the fight to him. Holly goes to lock up with Brown but Brown rakes Holly’s eyes then grabs Holly and picks him up in a Bear hug. Brown squeezes Holly for a few seconds then turns the Bear hug into a spinebuster! Brown mounts on top of Holly and begins repeatedly punching and kneeing Holly on the side of his head and jaw. Holly blocks many of the shots by holding up both of his forearms in a shield position but Brown gets in enough shots to bust up Holly’s nose. Brown gets off Holly and yells at him to get up. Holly slowly starts getting up to his feet and while he does Brown picks up the chair that Holly tossed down to the mat. Brown holds the chair in front of him and waits for Holly to get up on both feet. Holly does and appears to be on wobbly legs, he turns around, and Brown goes to hit him with the chair but Holly jumps up in the air and dropkicks the chair right into Brown’s face! Holly gets up to his feet favoring his nose as blood continues to trickle down from both nostrils. Holly picks Brown up to his feet and whips him off the ropes, Brown bounces off the ropes and comes at Holly with a clothesline but Holly ducks under it, Brown bounces off the ropes again and Holly picks him up for a back body drop, but then gives Brown the Alabamaslam! Holly makes a cover, 1...2..NO! Brown kicks out, rolls over onto all fours, and again begins to get up to his feet. Holly crawls over, grabs the chair, places it in the middle of the ring, and gets up to his feet. Brown gets up to his feet and as Holly moves in on him Brown jabs Holly right in the nose. Holly covers up his face and when he does Brown takes Holly and gives him a Samoan Drop. Brown quickly gets up to his feet and calls for the end of the match, yelling that he is gonna hit the Pounce. Brown whips Holly off the ropes, runs off the side ropes, and leaps forward to hit the Pounce but Holly drops down and Brown crashes into the opposing ring ropes. Holly gets up to his feet, pulls Brown towards the middle of the ring, picks him up for a vertical suplex, and gives him the Falcon Arrow on the steel chair!! Holly makes a cover on Brown who is laid out on the chair, 1...2...3! Hardcore Holly wins!
JS: “Hardcore Holly picks up the victory in this three way dance and much to the chagrin of Scott Steiner is advancing to a future match to regain the eHw Deathmatch Title.”
BH: “Monty Brown showed that for a rookie wrestler he’s got a lot of fight but Holly is the very definition of a wily veteran. He has been around the block for a number of years and he is looking to step up and truly be a Big Shot, here in extreme hardcore wrestling.”
JS: “Holly will be going after the Deathmatch Title in the future but right now we are going to here from the man who will be trying to defend the World Title later this evening, current eHw World Champion, Mike Awesome.”
Mike Awesome is pacing around his locker room as EHW goes to a break. Don Callis walks in with the camera
Don: Mike. Later tonight you will go up against the Sandman for the EHW World Heavyweight Title. We all saw how you took the fight to Al Snow and dominated your match on Friday night at Fury and won the World Title. What are your thoughts going into this match with Sandman and are you worried about John Cena interfering?
Mike: Don. Sandman is on his way out. I mean, he is a drunk. He can't possibly be in top physical shape. Look at that beer gut of his. If he thinks that he is safe, then he is sadly mistaken. Not only am I out for revenge on what went down at Cyberslam, but I have the EHW World Title to defend. I don't want to loose it after less than a week. I know that Sandman will be giving his all cause he still no doubt would be out for even more revenge on what I did to that slut wife and bastard son of his. But as for John Cena. The Doctor of Thuganomics had better stay out of this match tonight. But if he wants a match then I will give him a match next turmoil. But if I do win tonight, I wont be putting the title on the line. If he wants to fight for the title, then he can convince the tubby little bastard that he should be in the Elimination Chamber. You see. I am the Champion and I wont just give Cena a shot at my title. He can wait for the chamber.
Don: Mike. You and Sandman have had a very up and down record against each other. I mean, You have beaten him once and he has beaten you once. Are you concerned at all about any injuries that you still might be suffering from following the Texas Chainsaw Massacre match at Cyberslam?
Mike: Don. If I were not one hundred percent, do you think I would be sitting here today as the new EHW World Champ? I am A ok and as for mine and Sandman’s record. Sure we have beaten each other once before but how can you really judge how our match will go this week. Sandman is a man who has won the EHW World Title many times before so he should just step back and let the younger guys battle it out for it. As for any injuries. The only injury I still suffer from is the one that will be there permanently. You see. I lost in what I say has been my biggest challenge to date. Even my match against Al Snow on Fury was not what I would call a great challenge. You see, Sandman is a man who know how to inflict pain. He knows how and where to hit to cause as much pain as he can.
Don: But Mike. What would you rate your chances in beating Sandman this Wednesday in what some people may be saying will be your first and only title defense?
Mike: Then the people who are saying that can step up and face the Sandman themselves. There are a few guys out the back who have had the chance to step up and go toe to toe with him and they know that he is no pushover. Some of the guys out the back also know that I am no pushover. So When you have two guys who will stop at nothing to get what they want and keep what they want to keep, you will see blood spilt and two guys giving it their all. Now. Sandman is a drunk. He can barely string two words together let alone possibly beating me. You see, I have faced Sandman at what I would say he was not quite at his best but he realized how much energy and punishment I am more than happy to put out so I can get the win.
Don: Mike. Before we get back to the action, what last few words would you like to say to Sandman?
Mike: Sandman. You are nothing. You think you have what it takes to take away my belt, then come on then. Try it. Why don't you have your last drink, cause once I am done with you, you will be leaving this arena tonight in an ambulance. I know how hardcore you can be, but trust me when I say this. That is nothing compared to how I can really be. This match tonight will not be my one and only World Title defense. I will retain this title that I have worked so long and hard to get. No doubt our blood will be spilt. No doubt we will put each other through hell, but the one difference is what we are fighting for. I have cried, bled and fought so fucking hard to get this title and I will not let you take it off me without the biggest fight of my life. My tears, sweat and blood have paid my dues to get to where I am today and I will not let you take it away from me. So Sandman. If you want to really push the Awesome One to the limit, then bring it, cause by hook or by crook I will make you bleed. I will make you scream in pain and I will not stop until you are put in that box and the lid is then shut. So old man, be prepared. Pay up your health insurance, cause once I am done with you, people will then realize that the Awesome One is a force to be reckoned with. People will realize that I do belong in the main event. So Sandman. Be prepared to have your ass handed to you.
With that, the camera fades to black and EHW resumes its hardcore action
**The cameras fade back to the ring where a large dumpster is set up touching the ring apron at the very end of the entryway aisle. The cameras go up and look in the dumpster and see that the bottom of the dumpster is covered with barbed and razor wire. Sitting on top of the barbed and razor wires is a garbage can loaded with weapons in the middle of the dumpster’s inside. The cameras then start moving toward the entryway as “Can You Dig It Sucka?!” hits and is then mixed in with “Basic Thuganomics”. John Cena and Booker T make their way through the curtain to a loud pop from the crowd as flames shoot up out of the floor of the entryway. The Heat make their way down to the ring with each man interacting with the fans and high fiving many along the way. Both men get in the ring and when they do John Cena throws up a W with his arms while Booker T does a Spinarooni, each getting cheered by the crowd. The Heat’s mixed theme fades as “Oh You Didn’t Know” comes on and the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn each strut through the curtain into a sea of boos from the crowd. Road Dogg and Mr. Ass each make their way down to the ring wearing Degeneration X t shirts and do so in a very cocky manner. They laugh at the fans and flick a few off as they do. Road Dogg and Mr. Ass stop at the dumpster, tag the garbage can of weapons out of the dumpster, throw it over the top rope, and into the ring, then slide into the ring and all four men start going at it immediately.**
Road Dogg and John Cena go fist to fist while Billy Gunn and Booker T go at it next to their partners. Cena gets the upper hand on Road Dogg and pushes him so he is leaning against the ropes, then charges and clotheslines him over the top rope and goes out to the outside of the ring with him. Booker punches Gunn until he is down on one knee and when he gets him down Booker looks at his right hand with a serious look on his face as if to signal for a Spinarooni but as he is looking at his hand Billy Gunn reaches over and grabs a cookie sheet from the garbage can of weapons and when Booker turns his attention back to him, Gunn smacks Booker across his face with the sheet metal! Booker steps away from Gunn favoring his face but Gunn quickly gets up, grabs Booker from behind and gives him the One and Only! On the outside John Cena gets up to his feet, picks up Road Dogg’s legs, and gives him a slingshot into the solid steel corner post of the far right corner of the ring. Road Dogg hit’s the corner post face first but as Cena moves in to capitalize on him, Billy Gunn charges the ropes and slide kicks Cena under the bottom rope and knocks Cena side first into the steel guardrail. Gunn then gets out of the ring, leans Cena against the guardrail, and strikes him with a hard chop across his chest. Gunn then puts Cena in a side headlock and walks him towards the dumpster as Booker T gets back up to his feet in the ring. Gunn whips Cena into the side of the dumpster and Cena crashes hard side first into it. Road Dogg gets up with a cut above his left eye from hitting the corner post and slowly begins walking over towards the dumpster himself but as he does Booker T picks up the garbage can in the ring, walks over towards the ropes, and throws the garbage can right on top of Road Dogg’s head. Road Dogg drops down to one knee and as he starts to get up Booker pulls himself over the top rope and hit’s a springboard cross body on Road Dogg and both men crash hard on the arena floor. At the dumpster Billy Gunn places Cena on the ring apron then walks up the ring steps to get up their himself. Gunn picks Cena up to his feet and bends him over with Cena’s head above the open dumpster, then Gunn slaps his right knee signaling for the Fame Ass Er. But before he can execute it Cena elbows Gunn several times in his stomach, then clotheslines Gunn back into the ring over the top rope. Cena gets back into the ring, sorts through some of the weapons spread out in the ring, and grabs a trash can lid. Cena lays the trash can lid on the mat, then picks up Billy Gunn up so he is bending over, crotch chops him, then gives him a DDT on the trash can lid! On the outside Booker T and Road Dogg both get up to their feet and when Road Dogg goes for a quick jab to Booker’s face, Booker swats the hand away, steps into Road Dogg, and knees Road Dogg in his stomach three times, then body slams him on the arena floor. Booker then takes a step back from Road Dogg, holds both his arms up in the air, and drops his right knee across Road Dogg’s face while he is laid out. Booker and Cena point to each other, and Cena signals for the end of the match while Booker gets up on the ring apron. Cena picks up Billy Gunn, picks him up in a fireman’s carry, and out of it gives him the F U!! Booker then climbs up to the top rope of the near far left corner. Booker gets up to the top rope but before he can connect with the Harlem Hangover, Road Dogg gets up from the arena floor, gets up on the ring apron, and pushes Booker off the top rope and sends him crashing into the dumpster! Cena charges at Road Dogg but Road Dogg shoulder tackles Cena between the top and middle ropes when he gets close to him, then gets back in the ring, grabs Cena from behind and gives him the Stretch Armstrong!! Billy Gunn starts showing signs of life again and very slowly starts to get up to his feet as Road Dogg signals for the end of the match. Road Dogg helps Gunn up to his feet and lets him get his balance, then starts climbing up to the top rope of the near left hand corner of the ring. Gunn picks up Cena and sets him up for the Tag Team Spike Piledriver. Gunn lifts Cena up, but before Road Dogg and jump and spike Cena, Booker T gets up out of the dumpster, crawls onto the ring apron, and grabs a hold of Road Dogg’s left leg. Road Dogg tries to shake off Booker whose back is cut up in several places from landing in the barbed and razor wire. Booker doesn’t let go of Road Dogg’s leg as he gets up to his feet using the ropes, then grabs Road Dogg by his shirt and press slams Road Dogg off the top rope and into the dumpster! Billy Gunn sees this, and drops Cena and makes his way over to Booker but Cena grabs a hold of Gunn’s left arm as he drops him, and shoots up to his feet and from behind gives Gunn a Spin Out Powerbomb! Cena rolls Gunn over towards the dumpster and under the bottom ropes where Booker picks Gunn up to his feet and gives him a Book End into the Dumpster!! Booker closes the dumpster shut and The Heat win the match!
JS: “Booker T and John Cena, The Heat, pick up a win in their debut tag match together in dramatic fashion. They work well together and were able to over come one of the greatest tag teams of all time in the match that the Outlaws made famous.”
BH: “The Outlaws made a big impact in their return to eHw when they helped Triple H beat Bret Hart in a steel cage match. But tonight, The Heat made a big impact of their own by taking out the trash and including the Outlaws in it.”
JS: “This is a match that proves that the tag titles should be brought back in my opinion.”
After the mess from the Dumpster match is cleaned up What Does Everybody Want plays as Al Snow makes his way out to the ring in what is his first appearance since Fury getting a pretty good ovation from the sold out crowd.
JS: Al Snow making his first public appearance since losing the title to Mike Awesome last Friday night. Rumors have been going around about a possible retirement.
BH: He should have retired when he was on top, that's what most people try to do anyways, but Al's not like most people.
JS: You're right about that. But if he were to retire it would leave a huge hole in the locker room.
Al Snow: I'm out here tonight for two reasons, no, three reasons. First being Mike Awesome. I'll admit that Fury wasn't a good night for me, hell we all have bad nights. I know Bob Holly made some comments about you and Jeff Jones and while I agree with everything he said it was kind of with in the rules of the match. See I was promised an Iron Man match but because Hardcore Addiction never happened I couldn't keep that match, but that's ok. I know some people may say that this isn't how it's suppose to end between Awesome and myself, however I do believe he owes me a rematch. But, I know that there are a couple people ahead of me who have yet to get their rematch, mainly Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Plus as Holly said you can hardly end a feud in wrestling these days unless someone dies, and even though out of all the times I faced Awesome I had the better record, Awesome does deserve the title around his waist, but remember one thing, Mike. While I'm trying to be a good sport here, give you credit where it is due, remember I'm not out of the title picture for good, and either way we will still have our iron man match, title or no title. This brings me to the second reason why I'm out here. Last night there were some comments made by a certain someone, comments that aren't expectable, and what's more insulting is who made those comments. I'm starting to agree with Awesome that you aren't who you used to be. When people get to be in your condition they say and do things that they don't mean, I've known you for a long time and you always say what you think is right, even if you're extremely hung over. But to say I turned the World title into a joke, you crossed the line pal, and don't care how drunk or how much of your brain cells are left, you have officially lost it, Jim. You crossed the line that you can't go back and erase your tracks. Saying that is like spitting in the face of not only my self, but everyone else in this god damned sport. As you said I did earn the right to compete for the title and I won it and I did rightfully earn it, but saying what took place between Awesome and myself damaged the title's reputation, that's gone too far. It doesn't matter how many times you win the title. So you won it five times already, big deal. I've only won it once, but just because you won it more times doesn't mean you're the better man. After Awesome won, a couple days later I looked over the tape and I saw a fire in Awesome that I've never seen in him before, and to say I laid down for him, for you to actually believe I would go back to the days of the pin me pay me club makes me want to do to you what Awesome couldn't do to you at Cyberslam with the chainsaw. You have no fucking idea how hard I busted my fucking ass over the years to get my shot. Sure you can say you understand what I've had to do, but when I have just one night of bad luck and I lose the belt I just won, we all have bad days, Jim, and believe me I've seen you flat on your back before from people that would normally lower on a card than the likes of Alex Wright and La Parka.
Al Snow: To say that you could put us in the same class as yourself, you need to release that with out people like me, Steiner, Awesome, and every other non main event wrestler in the world, you would be nothing, Jimmy. You'd be nothing at all. You should be grateful that they exist, because without them you'd have no way of getting to the top because there would be no mountain to climb. By all means if you want the belt go right a head and to what you have to do to get it. But remember, people will remember more about my one title win than any of your five combined you ungrateful son of a bitch. I looked up to you, Jim. I looked up to you the very moment I walked into an EHW arena for the very first time. What's become of you, man? You're not the Sandman I remembered. But if this is how you're going to be from now on, I want nothing to do with you. I don't care if the only way to get to the title against is to last just 10 seconds in the ring with you. You're nothing to me now. I've lost all respect for you. I have more important things that are worth my time, which brings me to number three.
Al Snow: Everybody knows that there are a good amount of teams that have been showing interest in the tag team titles, and as Holly said a couple days ago out of every team that as competed in this company, we've stood the test of time, and out of every tag team that has had a match this year we rank above them all, but we have nothing to show for it. Before I came out here tonight I heard a few of those teams talking about it, how badly they want Paul to bring back the belts. I too have a desire for these belts and to see more teams interested in it is great to see. So, for the next while, to all the tag teams in EHW, The Extreme Task Force will give 110% commitment to the tag team division and to see the return of the EHW Tag Team Championship. I know this might sound weird, wanting a rematch with Mike Awesome, not wanting anything to do with Sandman just for the tag division. But the tag team division, at least in my opinion has always been the back bone of EHW. So, what I propose is Holly and myself, Hass and Benjamin, Cena and Booker T, Styles and Raven, HBK and Trips, and any tag team what wants to make the claim to be the best, I say at the next pay per view we have a tag team battle royal. Each team sends a representative and this battle royal, which the last two people standing will compete for the gold, and to who ever wins the battle royal, that team gets to name a special match type, should they wish to have one. My heart for EHW and for its titles can never be questioned and I can honestly say once we get the tag belts within the ETF, er, I mean back in EHW, EHW will truly be back to its old self.
Al's theme plays again as he exits.
JS: A huge announcement by Al Snow, focusing his attention on the tag team division. That could very well be the deciding factor that will bring the belts out of retirement.
**Al Snow walks through the curtain and as soon as he gets backstage is immediately greeted by Paul Heyman.**
Paul E: “Well Al, I see you’re still harping away at bringing the tag titles back. Ya know if you focused more on the titles you were wearing than the titles that don’t exist, maybe that world title could still be yours. But that is the past and the tag titles are the topic at hand. You want them brought back very badly, I can see that. But as I’ve told many wrestlers, your personal agenda isn’t what is best for eHw. You see Al as much as you think the tag titles were eHw’s backbone, they were eHw’s stain that wouldn’t go away because only a handful of times was the tag division ever competitive. You wanted them brought back last month and what happened, half the teams either quit or got injured. One thing hasn’t changed, you wanting the titles back and me not listening to what your personal agenda is. One thing has changed, and that is the fact that the tag team division is getting as competitive as it has ever been. The ETF, The Heat, The Outlaws, the World’s Greatest Tag Team, DX, and The Gathering is coming back in the first week of September. The tag team titles, are ready to be brought back Al. Not because you want them to, but because it is what is best for eHw now that we have a stacked tag division. But Sanitarium is not the time or the place for them to be brought back because there is going to be too much going on that night for the spotlight to be properly shined on their return. But I’m not pushing back their return, I’m going to push it up a week and we are going to bring them back in a match that saw the greatest fight for the tag titles this company ever seen. On the August Twenty Third edition of eHw Tuesday Turmoil we are going to have a Six Team Wargames Cage Match for the eHw Tag Team Titles. The match will be elimination style, it won’t just be the first pin fall wins and the teams that will be in the match are the following. The ETF represented by you and Hardcore Holly, The Heat, the New Age Outlaws, The World’s Greatest Tag Team, Shawn Michaels and Triple H, and to make sure you all give one hundred and ten percent, the team of eHw legends of The Sandman and Bret the Hitman Hart! Be careful what you wish for Al, because it has just come true and has come true in a more hardcore fashion than even you imagined. Now that you’ve said your piece, take the rest of the night off. I’d hate to have your ambition cause you to do something regrettable like get involved in the world title match between the two people you hate the most in this company.”
**Paul Heyman then walks away as Al stares him down as he does, then makes his way towards the ETF locker room.**
BH: “Joey I remember a time when those two ham and eggers got along with each other like Sigfreed and Roy. Now I can never tell if they are going to shake hands or literally reach for each others throats to turn their noggins into busted tomatoes.”
JS: “Well I don’t think Al cares about Heyman’s opinion of him, all he cares about is that he is getting what he wants, and that is that the tag team titles are coming back. You heard it from the horses mouth, a week from this Tuesday there is going to be a Wargames Cage Match with six tag teams to determine the first eHw Tag Team Champions of the Desire Era. The tag titles have been lobbied for over the past several months, but have been kept on the shelf due to an extreme lack of depth in the tag team division. Now that the void in the division has been filled by some top teams, the belts are ready to come back and are going to be brought back in a very hardcore manner.”
BH: “The Wargames is one of the most dangerous matches in wrestling history. There are going to be two rings and one cage with a top surrounding the two rings. But there is one hell of a prize waiting for the team that is somehow able to survive the carnage. And if you haven’t seen a Wargames match before, there is a greater chance of Gigli getting a sequel, than the six teams getting through this match without serious violence being displayed.”
JS: “Well speaking of serious violence, that is what we are going to see in our next match which is going to be a Stairway to Hell Match. This is the third and final match between Triple H and Bret Hart. These two have had a rivalry going over the past month.”
BH: “Correction grease ball, a rivalry means the other guy has to win. Triple H has beaten Bret Hart so bad he is starting to bleed maple syrup cause he is running out of blood. Bret Hart has embarrassed himself and tarnished his legacy in eHw over the past month by almost being run out of town by the enforcer of DX, The Game Triple H. Tonight Bret Hart can get some of his credibility back, but if you ask me, not only is that a tall order, but it is an order that he is going to be unable to come through on.”
JS: “Well if we’ve learned one thing from Bret Hart it’s that you can never count him out in big matches. If Bret doesn’t win this match, he will not be able to get his rematch with Shawn Michaels he has desperately wanted since losing the world title to him at the King of the Deathmatches pay per view. It’s make or break time for the Hitman, lets go to the ring.”
**The cameras scan over to the ring where a 12 foot ladder is set up in the middle of the ring and right above it is a sledgehammer hanging from a wire. The lights in the arena then go neon pink and purple as “Hitman” comes on and the crowd starts cheering as Bret Hart makes his way through the curtain. The Hitman walks down to ringside, gets into the ring, and poses for the crowd in his trademark fashion. Hart takes off his leather coat and sunglasses as his music fades and the lights in the arena go dark. “The Game” by Motorhead plays as Triple H and Chyna appear at the head of the entryway each standing in statuesque stances. Triple H pours water on his head and into his mouth then makes his way down to ringside with Chyna following behind him. Triple H walks up the ring steps and walks on the ring apron on the near side of the ring. Triple H faces the crowd, holds his arms up in the air, and spits water up into the air and into the crowd with an angry look on his face. Triple H gets into the ring, walks past the ladder to the far right corner of the ring, then climbs up to the second ropes and poses for the cameras as the lights in the arena come back on and his music fades.**
The bell rings and Triple H and Bret Hart stand on opposite sides of the ladder facing each other. Triple H then walks up to the ladder and pushes it out of his way then goes face to face with Bret Hart. Triple H pushes Bret Hart and Hart bounces off the ropes and comes back at Hunter with a hard punch to the side of his head which knocks Triple H back. Bret Hart moves in and goes for another punch but Triple H blocks it and gives Hart an inverted atomic drop. Triple H gets up to his feet and as Hart is favoring his groin, Triple H folds up the ladder and throws it right into Hart’s face and chest as Bret turns to face him. Triple H lays the ladder down in the middle of the ring, picks Bret Hart up to his feet, and picks him up in the air for a vertical suplex. Triple H holds Bret Hart up in the air for several seconds then drops him with a delayed vertical suplex on the ladder! Bret Hart rolls off the ladder and favors his back which is thriving in pain after that shot. Triple H gets up to his feet and taunts some fans in the front row with Bret Hart signs, then sends Chyna over to them where she takes the sign out of one of the fans hands and rips it up right in front of them. Triple H walks over back over to Bret Hart, picks him up, whips him off the ropes, and gives Hart a spinebuster on the ladder! Bret Hart yells in pain as he favors his back while Triple H gets up to his feet with a smile on his face. Triple H gets up and crotch chops Bret several times while he is down, then runs off the ropes, and drops his right knee into the small of Bret Hart’s back.
BH: “You are seeing the Cerebral Assassin, doing what he does best here grease ball. He is not only taking the fight to Bret Hart, but he is crippling him so he can’t even think about climbing the ladder to get the sledgehammer. He’s out thinking, out fighting, and out wrestling Bret Hart just like he has done in all of their matches together up to this point.”
Triple H picks Bret Hart and throws him over the top rope and to the outside as Chyna makes her way over to where Bret Hart was thrown. Triple H picks up the ladder and sets it up in the ring, right under the sledgehammer. Triple H climbs up the ladder and pulls the sledgehammer off of the string. Meanwhile on the outside, Chyna picks Bret Hart up to his feet, then whips him front first into the steel ring steps in the far left corner of ringside. Chyna then picks Bret Hart up and puts him back in the ring under the bottom rope as Triple H gets down off the ladder. Triple H pushes the ladder out of his way and waits for Bret Hart to get back up to his feet. Triple H taunts Bret Hart as he uses the ropes to very slowly help himself get up to his feet. Bret finally gets up to his feet, pushes himself off the ropes, and faces Triple H where Triple H immediately jams the sledgehammer into Bret’s stomach causing him to bend over. Triple H then grips the sledgehammer by the end of it’s handle, pulls back as hard has he can, and strikes Bret Hart in the small of his back with the sledgehammer after lunging forward with it. Bret Hart shoots up yelling in pain and favoring his back. Triple H then puts the sledgehammer down for a second, steps in front of Hart, crotch chops him, picks up the sledgehammer, and nails Hart right in the middle of his forehead with it! Bret is busted open from the shot as Triple H tosses the sledgehammer next to the ladder and again waits for Bret to get up to his feet. Triple H crouches down and signals for Bret to get up as Bret shows little signs of life but very, very slowly begins using the ropes to get up to his feet. Triple H waits as Bret finally after almost a minute gets up to his feet. Triple H spins him around, kicks him in the stomach, and gives Bret the Pedigree!! Triple H then drags Bret Hart into the middle of the ring, then opens up the ladder over Hart’s body. Triple H then grabs the sledgehammer, ducks under and stays under the ladder, and covers Bret Hart with only the sledgehammer pressed against Hart’s chest, 1...2.…3! Triple H wins!
JS: “Triple H wins and now Bret Hart will be unable to get his rematch with Shawn Michaels.”
BH: “Greaseball Triple H didn’t just win, he crushed Bret Hart. He removed Bret Hart’s heart, then proceeded to perform violent activities on the man’s dead body. Bret Hart lost his rematch chances with Michaels and the respect of the few fans he has left with this display here tonight.”
JS: “I wonder if this means Bret Hart won’t be able to compete in the Elimination Chamber Match at Sanitarium.”
BH: “Of course he won’t be allowed in the match dummy! He hasn’t won a match in over two months. If you should be talking about anyone here, it should be The Game, Triple H. You should be asking if Triple H will be put in the Elimination Chamber since he has been as dominant as anyone in eHw over the last month.”
**Ring crew removes the ladder and sledgehammer from ringside as medics attend to Bret Hart in the ring. Bret Hart is taken to the back on a stretcher as the cameras go back to Styles and Heenan.**
JS: “Triple H has been dominant in his wins over Bret Hart, but there has been nobody more dominant over the past couple of months, than Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner. Not only has Steiner been a consistent eHw Intercontinental Champion, he has been the most dominant Intercontinental Champion in eHw history. He has done to the eHw IC Title as Rob Van Dam did to the ECW Television Title back in the late nineties.”
BH: “He has been the most dominant force I can’t argue that, but he is about to get in the ring with another dominant force. A man no stranger to eHw, Big Sexy himself, Kevin Nash. Nash returned to eHw and made an immediate impact by Jackknifing Triple H and running Canada’s Finest out of eHw. Now tonight he looks to become the eHw Intercontinental Champion for the first time in his career. Nash had been billed as already holding the title, but he was kind enough to point out to our stats department that he never did hold the title, but looked forward to wearing the strap for the first time after tonight’s match.”
JS: “Getting past Freakzilla is going to be a tall order, for the six ten original giant killer himself, Kevin Nash.”
**The ring is cleared of all weapons as “Diesel Blues” hits and Kevin Nash walks out from behind the curtain to the cheers of the crowd. Nash holds his right arm up in the air for a brief moment as he stands at the head of the entryway, but then makes his way down to the ring. Nash walks up the ring steps, and steps over the top rope to get into the ring. Nash circles the middle of the ring for a second, then throws his right arm into the air again, as pyros shoot up from the four corners of the ring and down from the roof of the arena. The pyros and Nash’s music fades as the lights in the arena begin flickering on and off and sirens begin blaring. “Holla If You Hear Me” comes on and the eHw Intercontinental Champion makes his way out to the entryway to a huge pop from the crowd. Steiner flexes his right bicep as the cameras zoom in on him, kisses the peak of the muscle, then makes his way down to the ring. Steiner gets into the ring, walks to the near right corner of the ring, climbs up to the second rope, and poses for the crowd by flexing his huge muscles, then holding the Intercontinental Title belt up in the air. Steiner takes the chain male off his head, hands the title to the referee as his music fades, the lights come back on, and the bell rings for the match to begin.**
Steiner and Nash each circle the ring without taking their eyes off of each other. Both men make their way towards the middle of the ring and lock up. Both men try to get the advantage in the grapple until Nash throws Steiner backwards and down on his ass. A smirk comes over Nash’s face as he holds up his right arm causing some in the crowd to cheer and some to boo. Steiner gets up to his feet and the two lock up again, both men try to get the strength advantage in the grapple until Scott Steiner throws Nash backwards and down on his ass. A smirk comes over Steiner’s face as he flexes his right bicep and kisses the peak of the muscle causing some in the crowd to cheer, and some to boo. Nash gets up to his feet and the two go to lock up again but this time Nash knees Steiner across his stomach. Steiner bends down in pain and Nash drops a double axe handle across the back of Steiner’s neck, knocking Steiner down flat on his stomach on the mat. Nash bounces off the ropes and goes for an elbow drop but Steiner quickly rolls out of the way causing Nash to crash elbow first onto the mat. Steiner quickly gets up to his feet and as Nash is getting up, Steiner charges and kicks Nash right across his left rib cage. Steiner picks Nash up to his feet and from behind gives him a half nelson suplex dropping Nash directly on his neck. Steiner gets up to his feet, rolls Nash on his back, flexes his right bicep again, then goes for an elbow drop but Nash moves out of the way and Steiner crashes elbow first to the mat. Nash gets up to his feet slightly favoring his neck as Steiner quickly rolls up to his feet. Steiner runs at Nash but Nash picks Steiner up over his shoulder as if to give him a running Powerslam. Nash walks Steiner to the near left corner of the ring, and drops him face first on the top turnbuckle. Steiner is hung up in the corner and Nash spins him around and proceeds to knee him across his stomach three consecutive times. Nash pulls back for a second and elbows Steiner across his face. Nash then takes two steps back, angles Steiner for his next shot, then moves in for another elbow to the face but Steiner moves out of the way and Nash’s arm smashes hard into the corner. Steiner spins Nash around out of the corner and gives him a Spinning Belly to Belly Suplex. Steiner makes a cover on Nash, 1...2...NO! Nash kicks out and rolls away from Steiner as Steiner starts getting up to his feet. Nash gets up to one knee as Steiner walks up to him and grabs him by the hair. Steiner starts to picks Nash up but as he does Nash shoots up to his feet, grabs Steiner, and gives him a Side Slam! Nash takes his time getting up to his feet afterwards, bounces off the ropes, and hits Steiner with an elbow drop across his chest but Nash is hurt as much as Steiner as he uses the elbow that has taken punishment throughout the match to hit Steiner with. Nash takes some time to favor his elbow as Steiner slowly gets up to his feet. Nash is up and waiting for Steiner when Steiner gets up to his feet and decks Steiner with a hard right first to the face. Nash cocks his arm back for a second one but as he goes to swing, Steiner steps into Nash’s body, blocks the punch, and gives Nash a Flatliner! Nash’s head and arm take a hard bump with the move as Steiner rolls away from him and begins getting up to his feet using the ropes. Steiner walks up to Nash and stands above him calling for the end of the match. Steiner attempts to lock Nash in the Steiner Recliner but as Steiner pulls Nash slightly up for the hold and tries to put both of Nash’s arms around his thighs, Nash catches Steiner with a hard left punch to Steiner’s left eye causing Steiner to let Nash go and fall back a few steps. Nash gets up to his feet favoring his right arm, keeping it close to his side as Steiner blinks repeatedly trying to see clearly through his left eye. Nash moves in on Steiner quickly by whipping him off the ropes and nailing Steiner with a Big Boot to the Face! Nash then makes a cover on Steiner, 1.…2...NO! Steiner kicks out and pushes Nash off of him as Nash gets up to his feet and pulls the straps of his top down. Nash waits for Steiner to get up to his feet and when he does Nash grabs him and tries to set him up for the Jackknife but Steiner drops down to one knee and when Nash bends down to pick him up, Steiner shoots up to his feet and gives Nash a Single Arm DDT on Nash’s right arm. Steiner gets up, picks Nash up, and sets him up for the Steiner Screwdriver. Steiner picks Nash up in the vertical suplex, but Nash drops down behind Steiner and pushes Steiner front first into the near right corner of the ring. Nash the charges and strikes Steiner with a left armed clothesline in the corner smashing Steiner’s body against the turnbuckles. Steiner backs out of the corner on rubber legs as Nash spins him around, bends him over, and gives him the Jackknife Powerbomb!! Nash falls backwards a few feet into the ropes and sits against the bottom rope for a second after hitting the move. Nash stands up and holds his arms up in the air, then walks across the ring, and covers Scott Steiner, 1...2.…NO! Steiner gets his left foot up on the ropes. Nash looks up, then hooks the left leg and makes another cover, 1.…2.…NO! Steiner kicks out again. Nash gets up and gets into it with referee, yelling that his count was too slow. Steiner lays motionless as Nash finishes arguing with the ref, then walks over, and picks Steiner back up to his feet in a bent over position. Nash puts Steiner’s head between his legs, and picks him up for a second Jackknife but when he gets Steiner up, Steiner pushes off of Nash’s shoulders and lands behind Nash on the mat. Steiner quickly runs against the ropes and while Nash is turning around Steiner leaps forward and leg tackles Nash’s right knee. Nash goes down, laying on the mat favoring his right knee. Steiner gets up to his feet, stands over Nash, signals for the end of the match, then locks Nash in the Steiner Recliner!! Nash yells in pain and reaches for the ropes but once he sees he is too far away he is forced to tap out! Scott Steiner wins!
JS: “Scott Steiner pulls off another amazing victory and once again retains the Intercontinental Title! What a heart stopper that match was, back and forth, back and forth, but in the end, Big Poppa Pump was able to overcome Big Sexy.”
BH: “The Genetic Freak does it again, what is it gonna take to get that title off of him grease ball? A tank? A harrier jet? An A Bomb? He refuses to lose and always finds a way to out do his opponents. This time he waited until the most critical point in the match to take advantage of the bad knee of Kevin Nash, and quickly strap him in the Steiner Recliner. You can’t teach that, you have to learn it from yourself with years in that ring which Steiner has done over his long and very successful career.”
JS: “A very successful career that is still going as good as it ever has.”
**After both men leave the ring, ring crew wheels down a double wide, double deep casket to ringside. The casket painted black with a Battery logo on it. The lid is opened and the casket is shown to be filled with broken glass, thumbtacks, nails, and barbed wire. The casket is then shut as ring crew take their positions at ringside and Michael Buffer walk into the ring.**
Michael Buffer: “LLLadies and gentlemen, it is now time for your main event of the evening. Tonight’s match is a rematch from the most violent match in eHw history, and is champion versus champion eHw Man in the Box Match for the HEAVYWEIGHT, CHAMPIONSHIP, OF THE WORRRLD! Are you ready?! San Francisco, ARE YOU RRRRREEEAADDDYYY?!!! Well then for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world. Ladies and gentlemen, LLLLET’S GET RRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRUUUUUMMMMBBBLLLLLLLLEEE!!!!”
**The lights in the arena dim as “Enter Sandman” by Metallica plays and the crowd goes nuts as The Sandman appears in the middle of the people and makes his way down to the ring through the crowd.**
**The Sandman gets into the ring and holds up the Singapore Cain as his music fades and “The Zoo” by Bruce Dickinson begins blasting on the PA system. Mike Awesome walks out through the curtain to a sea of boos from the crowd with Jeff Jones by his side.**
**Mike Awesome gets into the ring and holds the world title belt up in the air with both hands and holds it up in front of Sandman as the referee quickly scurries over to break the two up and take the belt from Awesome. Jeff Jones and Michael Buffer each get out of the ring as the bell sounds and the match is ready to begin.**
JS: “Now remember there are no pin falls or submissions or knockouts in this match. The only way to win is to put your opponent in the box, and close the lid. This is eHw’s take on the casket match and I promise you one of these men is going to have to stop breathing for them to lose this match.”
Sandman goes right after Awesome with his Cain but Awesome ducks the shot and strikes Sandman with a spinning forearm shot to the side of the Sandman’s face causing him to drop the cain. Sandman drops back a few steps and Awesome follows up with a pump kick to Sandman’s chest knocking him down to the mat. Awesome picks Sandman right up to his feet and whips him into the far left corner of the ring. Awesome charges the corner, body splashes Sandman, then takes him out of the corner with a running one handed face buster. Awesome jumps up to his feet and taunts Sandman, then picks up Sandman’s Singapore Cain and as Sandman is getting up to his feet Awesome Cains Sandman across his back. Sandman shoots up in pain and Awesome goes to hit Sandman with the Cain across his face but Sandman ducks out of the way, stands next to Awesome, grabs the Cain, puts it up to Awesome’s throat, and gives him the Singapore Legsweep!! The crowd pops huge for the move as Sandman rolls up to his knees and calls for the casket to be opened. Sandman rolls Awesome over towards the casket but before he can roll Awesome into it, Jeff Jones runs over and slams the casket shut. Jones pushes ring crew away from the casket as The Sandman gets Awesome rolled to the ring apron. Sandman reaches out and opens up the lid himself but as he does Jones slams the lid on The Sandman’s hand. Sandman winces in pain, and backs off into the ring. Sandman tries to shake the pain off his left hand while he picks up the Singapore Cain with his right. Sandman drops down and rolls out of the ring as Jeff Jones is trying to revive Mike Awesome on the ring apron. Sandman walks around behind Jeff Jones and taps him twice on his right shoulder with the cain. Jones turns around and Sandman nails him right in the jaw with the Singapore Cain and knocks Jones down to the floor immediately. Sandman drops the Cain, picks up Jeff Jones, and walks him all the way up the entryway aisle, and throws him through the entrance curtain. As Sandman walks up the entryway aisle with Jones however, Awesome gets down off the ring apron, and slowly walks up the entryway aisle behind him. So when Sandman turns around to face the ring after throwing Jeff Jones through the entrance curtain, he is greeted by a running clothesline by Mike Awesome who takes Sandman down hard with the lariat. Awesome catches his breath for a second, then drags Sandman towards the left side of the entryway and begins yelling at Joey Styles and Bobby Heenan to move.
BH: “Joey‘s the one who took your wallet Mike, I swear!”
JS: “I don’t think he wants any money Brain, I think he’s putting us on notice that we are about to be in the fallout area of an Awesome Bomb.”
BH: “See ya!”
Heenan and Styles quickly move off of the announcer table stand by the entryway as Awesome bends Sandman over, picks him up on his shoulders, and gives him a Running Awesome Bomb off the entryway through the announcer’s table!! The Sandman is laid out in the wreckage of table, microphone headsets, and television monitors as Awesome stands on the entryway with his hands held up high in the air. Awesome walks down onto the announcer table stand, picks Sandman up out of the wreckage, and throws him off the table stand onto the concrete floor. Awesome drops down to the floor, picks Sandman up, and walks him back down to ringside towards the casket. Awesome gets close to the casket then runs Sandman head first into the front side of the casket. Awesome yells at some fans at ringside for a second, then turns his attentions back to the Sandman as he opens up the lid but doesn’t notice Sandman crawling over and laying on top of his Singapore Cain. Awesome walks over and bends over to pick Sandman up to all fours and when he does Sandman strikes Awesome right on top of his head with the Singapore Cain. Awesome backs up and leans back first against the casket and Sandman gets up to his feet, measures Awesome up, and nails him with a Home Run Singapore Swing! Sandman drops the Cain, switches positions with Awesome, and gives Awesome a vertical suplex into the casket! Awesome yells in pain as he has been suplexes on broken glass, thumbtacks, nails, and barbed wire as Sandman throws the Cain back into the ring, then gets back into the ring himself. Sandman on rubber legs walks over towards the ropes, ducks between the middle and top, and attempts to close the lid, but as he does Awesome sits up and wedges his body between the lid and the rest of the casket. Sandman opens the lid up and slams it on Awesome’s body several times until Awesome falls back into the casket. Sandman then leaves the casket open and pulls himself over the top rope and hit’s a springboard senton splash on Awesome in the casket! Sandman lands on Awesome and when he does the lid closes with both men in the casket. There is no movement for half a minute until the lid barely opens and Sandman comes crawling on his stomach out of the casket and rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and Awesome sticking his leg out to disable the lid from slamming shut. Sandman lays on his back in the ring with shards of glass and thumbtacks stuck on his arms. While he turns his attention to picking them out, Mike Awesome climbs out of the casket onto the ring apron. Awesome sees Sandman’s attention is occupied and climbs up to the top rope of the far left corner of the ring. Awesome gets up to the top rope with glass and thumbtacks stuck in his flesh all over his body, leaps, and connects with the Awesome Splash on The Sandman! Awesome and Sandman are both laid out next to each other near the middle of the ring, each breathing very hard. Awesome is the first to get up to his feet, but as he is picking Sandman up to his feet. . .John Cena runs down to the ring. Cena slides into the ring, spins Awesome around, and gives him an F U!! Awesome gives the You Can’t See Me! taunt to Awesome then gets out of the ring, opens the lid up, and makes his way to the back with the crowd both cheering and booing. Awesome is out in the ring as The Sandman gets up to his feet using the ropes and looks at Mike Awesome laid out with a very confused look on his face. Sandman walks over to Awesome and begins to pick Awesome up to his feet when all of a sudden Triple H runs down to ringside and jumps up on the ring apron while Shawn Michaels jumps the steel guardrail out of the crowd and slides into the ring behind The Sandman. Sandman releases Awesome and faces Triple H who doesn’t make too many movements. Triple H then points beyond The Sandman and when Sandman turns around Shawn Michaels is standing in the ring and nails Sandman with Sweet Chin Music!! Sandman is knocked down and out as Michaels gets out of the ring, closes the lid on the casket, then he and Triple H both make their way to the back to nothing but boos from the crowd.
JS: “We have made our way back to what is left of our announce table, Brain can you hear me?”
BH: “Unfortunately I can.”
JS: “Our table is in a bad way, and so are The Sandman and Mike Awesome who have now both been victims of outside interference in this match. Both men are down and out in the ring, Brain who can come out on top after all they have gone through?”
BH: “They don’t call him The Gladiator for nothing Joey. Then again, they don’t call him the Hardcore Icon for nothing either. It is a coin flip at this point since both are laid out and both have taken an equal amount of punishment in this match.”
Mike Awesome and The Sandman are again both laid out in the ring, neither showing signs of movement. Both men are laid out for a full minute before Mike Awesome rolls over on his stomach, gets up to his knees, then pushes up and gets on his feet. Awesome slowly picks The Sandman up to his feet from behind with his back turned to the casket. Awesome gets Sandman up to his feet, and gives him a Release German Suplex over the top rope onto the casket! Awesome looks behind him and sees Sandman is laying on top of the casket rather than inside the casket and becomes frustrated. Awesome gets up to his feet, walks over, and steps between the ropes to stand on the ring apron in front of the casket. Awesome pulls Sandman onto the ring apron off the casket, then opens the lid. Awesome tries to rolls Sandman back into the casket but Sandman has wrapped his legs and arms around the bottom ring rope disabling Awesome from moving him into the casket. Awesome drops down off the ring apron, walks up the steel guardrail, and grabs a fan’s chair from the front row. Awesome folds the chair, flicks off the fan, then repeatedly hits Sandman’s legs, back, and the back of his head until he lets go of the ring ropes but rolls into the ring rather than falling to the arena floor. Awesome walks up the ring steps and gets into the ring as The Sandman gets up to his feet using the ropes. Sandman turns to face Awesome and Awesome goes to hit Sandman with the chair between the eyes, but Sandman blocks it, and pulls the chair out of Awesome’s hands. Sandman drops the chair, whips Awesome off the ropes, picks up his Singapore Cain, and swings to hit Awesome with it. . .Awesome slides under the shot, grabs the chair, gets up to his feet, Sandman turns around, Awesome swings, and dents the chair over Sandman’s head! The dent is so big it renders the chair useless so Awesome tosses the chair aside then gets out of the ring and walk over to the casket. Awesome pulls the casket away from the ring a little and angles it so it is vertically facing the far left corner of the ring. Awesome opens the lid up and gets back into the ring. Awesome picks Sandman up and brings him over to the far left corner of the ring where picks Sandman up for a suplex, then lays his stomach over the top turnbuckle, with The Sandman’s back to the casket. Awesome gets out onto the ring apron, then climbs up to the top rope in front of Sandman. Awesome puts Sandman’s head between his legs and points to the casket as the fans boo. Awesome picks Sandman up for a Powerbomb but Sandman counters and out of the Awesome Bomb gives Awesome a FrankenSander off the top rope into the casket!!! Awesome lands in the casket and the impact of it causes the lid to close shut! The Sandman wins!
JS: “OH MY GOD!! The Sandman wins! The Sandman is a record breaking six time eHw World Heavyweight Champion and wins the belt in a truly hardcore manner!”
BH: “I didn’t think the drunk had a counter like that in his bag of tricks. At his height and weight, that is incredibly hard to do. I mean that is a cruiserweight counter, not a heavyweight counter. How did that drunk pull it off?”
JS: “He isn’t a Hardcore Icon for nothing Heenan. He had the Awesome Bomb off the top rope scouted and pulled off a counter at the perfect time and is now the eHw World Heavyweight Champion!”
BH: “My hats off to the drunk bastard. He took one hell of a beating and kept on going. Awesome hit him with everything but he just wouldn’t go away like a bad hangover.”
JS: “Awesome did hit him with everything he had, but it is matches like this that separates the champions from the legends. Mike Awesome is a staple of eHw and I know this isn’t his last time in a world title match coming in the champion. But tonight belongs to the King of eHw, the new eHw World Heavyweight Champion, The Sandman.”
**The Sandman is handed the belt in the ring while he is down on his knees. Sandman hugs the world title, then with the help of the referee, gets up to his feet, and holds the world title up with one arm, while having his other raised in victory. The cameras fade with The Sandman standing in the middle of the ring holding his Singapore Cain above his head with his left hand, while holding the world title belt in front of him, with his right.**
Michael Buffer: “First coming to the ring, the challenger. He stands at six foot four inches and weighs in at two hundred and sixty eight pounds . He is a man that needs no introduction to any hardcore wrestling fan.

He is the second member of the elusive and exclusive eHw Crown of Barbed Wire having held every title this federation has to offer. Here he is, the beer swilling, cigarette smoking, Singapore Cain swinging anti here, the Original Hardcore Icon himself, the man known around the world as, The SSSSANNDDDMANNN!!!”
