**As the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois fills to capacity level, “Unbroken” by Monster Magnet begins blasting on the arena’s PA system and fireworks begin shooting off above the ring and entryway as eHw Redemption gets underway! The cameras scan the arena looking at the fans, then focus in on Joey Styles and Bobby Heenan on the left side of the entryway.**

JS: “Hello everyone and welcome to the Allstate Arena, in Chicago Illinois!! Where tonight eHw is looking to seek it’s Redemption in the wrestling world after being dragged down into the dumps! Tonight we have a card jam packed of great action, with two title defenses, including the very first eHw Iron Man Match! I’m Joey Styles along with Bobby the Brain Heenan, Brain, what do you think about what we are going to see tonight?”

BH: “I think everyone on this roster is going to be at a disadvantage. Not only do we have a few debuts tonight, but everyone on this roster is suffering from ring rust. Many of these guys haven’t fought in about a month on this big of a stage so many will have to get back into the swing of things.”

JS: “Well we have had a couple of house shows, but it is a different story when the cameras are rolling, no doubt about that. What do you think about the fact that tonight we will be seeing the very first Iron Man Match in eHw history?”

BH: “The Iron Man Match is the ultimate test for a professional wrestler. It is a match type reserved for only the greatest of rivals. Tonight, two of eHw’s greatest icons will do battle for the biggest prize in the land. Only one of them can walk out with the world title, the winner will be the man who will still be able to walk after a full hour of intense wrestling against their equally great opponent.”

JS: “That is coming up in our main event, but right now we are going to have the eHw debut of William Regal. This is the first time in eHw history William Regal has competed in an eHw ring and we look forward to seeing what he can bring to the table. He is scheduled to take on The Undertaker who is already in the ring.”

**The Undertaker is shown standing in the ring as William Regal’s music begins playing and the mat technician from Black Poole, England makes his way down to the ring to the boos of the crowd. Regal gets into the ring, and gives a smug wave out into the crowd receiving even more boos in the process. His music fades and the referee calls for the bell as the match begins.**

The Undertaker goes to lock up with Regal but Regal gets behind him and takes the Undertaker down with a leg tackle, then elbow drops Undertaker in the small of his back. Taker goes down to the mat on his stomach and Regal quickly gets in front of him and puts him in a side headlock while leaning back against him. Regal wrenches in the lock but can’t keep The Undertaker down as Taker quickly gets up to his knees, up to his feet, then takes Regal down to the mat with a belly to back suplex. Regal winces in pain for a few seconds as the Undertaker gets back up to his feet. Taker gets up and begins to pick Regal up to his feet but as he does Regal uppercuts The Undertaker, then grabs both of his arms and gives him a Butterfly Suplex. Regal gets up to his feet and on rubber legs backs into the corner where he turns to face the crowd. Regal digs into the tights, and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. Regal carefully turns and makes his way over towards The Undertaker but as he does the referee circles around Regal and sees the brass knuckles on his right hand. The ref yells at Regal and demands that he take them off. The ref backs Regal into the far left corner and yells at him for having the knucks. As the referee does The Undertaker gets back up to his feet, but as soon as he reaches his feet. . . Kane runs down to the ring! Kane slides into the ring and as Taker his turned towards Regal, Kane spins him around, picks him up, and gives him a Tombstone Piledriver!! Kane lays Undertaker’s hands on his chest, then quickly gets out of the ring as Regal hands the brass knuckles over the referee who disposes of them. Regal the walks over to The Undertaker, rolls him over on his stomach, and locks him in the Regal Stretch!! The referee gets back into the ring after disposing of the knucks, he sees Taker is knocked out, and lifts Taker’s arm up three times. After Undertaker’s limp arm drops for a third time in a row, he calls for the bell. William Regal wins!

JS: “Kane! Kane is back in eHw and he just took out his brother The Undertaker with a Tombstone Piledriver! Is this the beginning of another war between them here in eHw?!”

BH: “Kane just burned Taker worse in that ring, than girls do to you in the clubs on a Friday night. Taker still isn’t moving, I’d say we all need to keep our focus on Kane for now and let The Undertaker rest in peace.”

JS: “And besides that William Regal has picked up a win in his first ever match here in eHw. He is a well accomplished wrestler and has won titles in ever promotion he has ever been in so hopefully in his next match he can display a little bit more of his wrestling ability and not count on the outside interference, of the Big Red Monster Kane.”

BH: “I’ll tell you another thing Grease ball, this next match is gonna see Christian walk over that tall drink of water Kevin Nash, faster and easier than Regal just did with The Undertaker.”

JS: “Are you crazy? Kevin Nash is one of the most accomplished wrestlers in eHw history. Probably the greatest eHw superstar to never hold the world title, Christian isn’t going to just walk over him, he’ll be in for the fight of his life.”

BH: “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Nash made the fatal mistake of putting his hands on another man’s woman, and that woman belongs to Captain Charisma himself, the Prince of the Peeps Christian. And when you put your hands on Trish Stratus, you better be prepared for Christian to make you feel damn unpretty.”

**Just as Heenan finishes talking the lights in the arena go black and gold and Christian’s music hits. Pyros go off around the entryway as Christian walks through the curtain accompanied by Trish Stratus. Christian walks down to the ring, pointing out into the crowd with a cocky look on his face, receiving nothing but boos from the fans. Christian gets into the ring, climbs up to the second turnbuckle of the near left corner, and poses for the cameras as the lights come back on and his music fades. “Diesel Blues” comes on and the crowd begins cheering as Kevin Nash walks through the curtains and begins to make his way down to the ring. Nash walks up the ring steps, and steps over the top rope into the ring causing Christian and Trish to quickly scatter. Nash stands in the middle of the ring and poses for the fans throwing his fist up into the air as pyros shoot up from all four corner of the ring. The pyros end and the music fades as the referee calls for the bell and the match begins.**

Christian slowly gets into the ring, making sure Nash doesn’t jump him as soon as he enters. The referee has Nash stand in the opposite corner so Christian can get into the ring so the match can begin without too much of a delay. Christian does get into the ring and as soon as Nash makes his way over towards him, Christian quickly gets out of the ring again. Nash however steps over the top rope and follows Christian to the outside. Christian runs and Nash chases him, the two run completely around the ring until Trish stands in Nash’s way causing him to stop. Trish tries to distract Nash with the two big planets of her Stratusphere but Nash pushes her aside and attempts to keep going after Christian, but his momentary distraction allowed Christian to turn himself around and after Nash pushes Trish aside Christian jumps forward and clotheslines Nash down to the floor. Christian slaps Trish on her ass, then picks Nash up by his hair and runs him face first into the steel guardrail. Christian then puts Nash’s throat against the top of the guardrail, and leans against him, choking Nash on the top of the steel guardrail. Christian lets up after a few seconds, then pulls Nash off the guardrail and rolls him back into the ring. Christian points into the crowd, poses for the cameras, then gets back into the ring and goes back on the offensive. Christian picks Nash up to his knees, pulls him into the near right corner of the ring, and gives him a Tornado Reverse DDT! Christian then makes a pin attempt on Nash by covering him with only one foot, 1..2.NO! Nash kicks out and pushes Christian’s foot off of him. Nash begins to get up to his feet using the ropes, but as he does Christian pulls Nash off the ropes by the straps of his top and puts him in a sleeper hold, Christian then falls backwards and drops Nash head first on the mat out of the sleeper. Christian then makes another cover, this time hooking the leg, 1.2...No! Nash kicks out and this time quickly makes his way back up to his feet. Nash looks at Christian with an enraged look on his face while a look of shock and sadness comes over Christian’s. Christian starts begging off as Nash makes his way towards him. Christian goes to punch Nash but Nash blocks it and knees Christian in his midsection, then pushes Christian back first into the far left corner of the ring. Nash knees Christian a couple more times in the mid section, then takes step back, crotch chops him, and elbows Christian right on his jaw. Christian wobbles out of the corner, then falls flat on his face. Nash holds his arm up getting a pop from the crowd, he then picks Christian up to his feet and whips him off the ropes. Nash goes for a Big Boot but Christian slides under it and gets behind Nash. Christian gets up on his knees and low blows Nash from behind. Christian then grabs Nash’s arms, turns him around while he is bent over, and nails him with the Unprettier!! Christian makes a cover, 1...2...3! Christian wins!

BH: “I told you grease ball! I told you! You never rub another man’s rhubarb! Nash messed with the wrong hombre, and the Prince of the Peeps just did what he said he would do, and used Kevin Nash as a stepping stone to greatness here in eHw.”

JS: “As much as it pains me to admit it, you were right. Although Trish did play a little hand in the match.”

BH: “I’d like to put either of my hands on Trish I don’t know about you.”

JS: “Easy there, I got enough of that stuff when I was with Gertner.”

BH: “I bet so. What’s up next, we are really moving along here. It’s like we never left.”

JS: “Well we never actually did leave, we just. . .kind of. . . . never mind. Next we have the Walk the Plank Match for the eHw Intercontinental Championship. It is the first Three Way Dance the feature the Walk the Plank match type, which sees three wooden planks completely covered in barbed wire bridge the ring and the steel guardrail on every side of the ring except for the one that has access to the entryway aisle. Shane Douglas, Triple H, and Scott Steiner have had plenty of words between the three of them over the past couple of weeks, it came to a semi climax this past week on Hardcore TV, let’s take a look.”

**The camera fades from Joey Styles to the eHw House Show in Rockford where the lights in the arena have gone dark and green and “Break it Down” by Chris Warren Band is playing on the PA system. Triple H and Shawn Michaels make their way down towards the ring to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from the crowd. Michaels and Triple H both slide into the ring and pose for both the cameras and the crowd. They then stand in the center of the ring and crotch chop the crowd as pyros go off behind them.**

**Michaels then calls for a microphone and the ring announcer tosses one into the ring. Michaels signals for the music to be cut and as the music fades the lights in the arena come back on.**

HBK: “Well, well, well. Just when you think that DX is dead, we come right back up to the surface and bite your head off!”

**The crowd reaction again is a mix of cheers and boos as Michaels pauses to take in both.**

HBK: “You see Degeneration X has been on a small hiatus along with this entire company for a little bit, but we aren’t done by a long shot. No, no, no you see it was just four months ago that DX was dominating eHw like the Michael Jordans of wrestling that we are. We had this entire federation in the palm of our hand, and we are going to go back to that way and it starts at Redemption! It starts at Redemption because in Chicago, the enforcer of DX, my main man Triple H is going to walk into the ring against one has been and one wanna be, and is going to walk out the eHw Intercontinental Champion. And that is after he leaves both of those losers a beaten and bloody mess, am I right Hunter?”

**Michaels hands the microphone over to Triple H.**

HHH: “To quote our buddy the Road Dogg, you damn right! Haha, I mean those two pieces of garbage don’t stand a chance when they get in the ring with me. Scott Steiner, he claims to be the genetic freak of the game, and Shane Douglas, well he wishes he could be the franchise of the game of wrestling. But you see boys, I AM THE GAME! Trained by Killer Kowalski, brought into the business by Shawn Michaels, I have the pedigree of greatness running through me at all times. And I can assure that both of you will feel the impact of that Pedigree, this Friday at Redemption. And if you aren’t down with that, well mean and HBK got two words for ya. . .”

Shane Douglas: “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!”

**Before Triple H can finish, Shane Douglas appears on the extreme Screen at the head of the entryway. Upon seeing him as he poses for the camera, the entire arena begins booing.**

Shane Douglas: “Hold the phone for just one god damn minute here! I think you meant to say you were trained by the late great Killer Kowalski, and sucked Shawn Michaels’ dick and ate Stephanie McMahon’s pussy for at grand total of seven years so you could get to where you are in this business! Triple H, you came out here a few days ago and shot your mouth off here and there, but you are truly the one in this company who is the definition of pathetic. Look up pathetic in the wrestling dictionary and it is going to read as follows. A man who has held world titles, and then goes back to being the lackey of a man who is eight years past his prime who came out of retirement just to steal everyone’s glory. You are carrying a two hundred and some odd pound weight on your back Hunter, and he is standing right next to you. You two aren’t even worth the time of the Franchise. I have bigger fish to fry, I have a date with the eHw World Title, not just the IC belt. I mean, why should someone like me, a man who took a little shit indy fed on his back and brought it to the big time, fear someone like you Triple H. A man who has only gotten by on who he knows, and not what he does. A man who doesn’t provide any action of his own, but just rides the coattail of the man who road Bret Hart’s coattails until the day he and his boss ####ed him over in his home country. Hunter, you are just a pathetic man stuck in a career of routine. You try to stay on your own for a while, then when you realize you can’t make it, you go into a stable. First with DX, then Evolution, and now back to DX. Give me a ####ing break! What’s next are you gonna drag Ric Flair’s old corpse out here with a couple of little kids from a farm fed when this doesn’t work? Hunter, until you can do something to shock or even surprise me during your career, there is no way I have any reason to think that I’m not gonna walk all over you and Steiner and put the Intercontinental Title belt around the waste of the only true Franchise player in this business. ”

HHH: “Douglas! Douglas you want me to do something that will shock you?! Is that it?! You wanna see something shocking?! I’m not just gonna shock your minor league ass, I’m gonna shock the world, and I’m gonna remove this has been weight off of my back, and off of my coattails!”

**Triple H drops the microphone, spins Shawn Michaels around to face him, then kicks him in the stomach, puts his head between his legs, grabs both of his arms, and gives him the PEDIGREE!! The entire crowd along with Douglas on the eXtreme Screen gasps as Triple H nails the move, rips off his DX t shirt, and throws it on HBK’s limp body. Triple H then picks the mic back up and looks down at Michaels while he begins talking.**

HHH: “I’m not gonna let you hold me down any more! I’ve done everything you have done and then some. I have surpassed you in every way in this business and I’m not gonna play second fiddle to your has been ass for one more second!!”

**Triple H then looks up at Douglas who still has a shocked look on his face.**

HHH: “And Douglas! If I did this to a guy who brought me in this business and made it possible for me to get my break. Just imagine what I’m gonna do to you and Steiner at Redemption! I’m going to tear through both of you on my way to greatness. Michaels may have taken a hiatus, but over the last three months I’ve won ever match that I’ve been in with one exception, a match against Scott Steiner. So Steiner, enjoy your time with that title, while it lasts! Right now, I’m going to finish the job on Shawn Michaels by ending his career so I can show both of you, just what the Cerebral Assassin is capable of!”

**Triple H starts to pick up Michaels for another Pedigree but as he does the extreme Screen and all the lights in the arena go to a strobe light affect as “Holla If You Hear Me” comes on and Scott Steiner runs through the curtain and down to the ring. Triple H sees Steiner coming as the lights come back on and quickly drops HBK and gets out of the ring as Steiner slides in. Triple H makes his way around the ring and back up towards the entryway as Steiner yells at Triple H in the ring. Steiner leans against the ropes and yells as loud as he can at Triple H as a big smile comes over Triple H’s face as he backs through the curtain.**

**Steiner bends down and attends to Michaels as medics rush down to the ring and the screen fades to black and back to Joey Styles and Bobby Heenan.**

BH: “I still can’t believe Triple H stayed with that anchor for so long.”

JS: “What? Michaels broke Triple H into this business, he is responsible for him getting his break in the WWE and here in eHw. It is because of Michaels that Triple H was able to be in the three matches he won against Bret Hart over this past summer.”

BH: “Joey, one day, one day in the future you’ll realize it’s all about The Game. Douglas is no slouch, and has held his share of world titles in his time. He once held a world title for a full year and a half, so he has been to the dance before, either of them have a chance to walk out of here with the gold.”

JS: “Brain, one day very soon you’ll learn to never, ever under estimate Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner. He is probably the greatest champion eHw has ever seen, and there is no reason to not think he can’t walk in and out of the ring with the Intercontinental Title belt and keep his record long reign going.”

**Ring crew goes to the near, far, and right sides of ringside and bridges the middle of the steel guardrail with the middle of the ring on each side as the crowd rises up to their feet as “Perfect Strangers” by Deep Purple begins playing and the Franchise Shane Douglas walks through the curtain and holds both his arms up in the air, making the sign of the Triple Threat. Douglas walks down to the ring to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos but receives a majority of boos. Douglas gets down to ringside and flicks off a few of the fans who are cheering for him. Douglas then slides into the ring and poses for the cameras as his music fades, and the lights in the arena go black and neon green. “The Game” by Motorhead comes on, and Triple H appears at the head of the entryway, then walks into a sea of boos as he make his way down to the ring. Triple H walks up the ring steps, gets into the ring, walks to the far right corner of the ring, and poses for the crowd while spitting water out at them. The lights stay dark but then go to a strobe effect as Triple H’s music fades and “Holla If You Hear Me” is heard throughout the arena. The Big Bad Booty Daddy himself walks through the curtain and flexes his huge muscles with the eHw Intercontinental Title belt around his waste and receives nothing but loud cheers from everyone in the crowd. Steiner looks around the arena at all of the fans cheering for him, then makes his way down to the ring talking smack into the camera. Steiner gets into the ring, looks at both of his opponents with no emotion on his face, then walks to the near right corner, climbs up to the second ropes, and again flexes his huge muscles getting an even bigger pop from the crowd this time around. Steiner gets down as the lights come back on and his music fades. He takes the chain male off his head, takes the IC Title belt off his waste, stands in the center of the ring, and holds it up above his head while looking at both of his opponents. Steiner then hands the title to the referee who hands it to the ring announcer and calls for the bell.**

Steiner immediately walks towards Triple H and attempts to lock up with him but as he does Douglas runs and clotheslines him from behind. Both Douglas and Triple H stomp on Steiner until he is laid flat out on his stomach. Douglas and Triple H then trade off elbow dropping Steiner on the upper part and the small of his back. Douglas picks Steiner up and whips him off the ropes, Steiner bounces off the ropes and Douglas and Triple H give him a double back body drop. Douglas rolls Steiner on his stomach and puts him in a camel clutch, Triple H then walks over to Steiner’s right leg, and puts him in a modified Indian Death Lock. Steiner yells in pain for several seconds as both men cinch in the submission holds they have applied. Both men get off of Steiner and as Douglas walks towards the ropes and taunts the fans, Triple H quickly rolls Steiner over, and makes a pin attempt, 1..2.…NO! Douglas breaks up the pin attempt and begins yelling at Triple H for making the cover. Triple H gets up to his feet and gets into Douglas’ face. Douglas then slaps Triple H across his face sending Triple H back peddling a few steps. But before Triple H can retaliate, Douglas steps into him, wraps his arms around him, and goes to give Triple H a Belly to Belly Suplex, but Triple H blocks it, spins around and goes to give Douglas a Belly to Belly Suplex, but Douglas blocks, spins around, and gives Triple H a Belly to Belly Suplex over the top rope and through one of the barbed wire planks!! Douglas gets up to his feet and taunts Triple H while he is on laid out on the barbed wire and pieces of the barbed wire plank on the outside. Douglas doesn’t see Steiner get up behind him, and as Douglas is taunting Triple H, Steiner grabs Douglas from behind, and gives him a half nelson suplex. Douglas lands right on his neck and rolls around the ring in pain as a bloody very Triple H slowly gets back into the ring. Triple H gets up to his feet and charges at Steiner but Steiner bends down, grabs Triple H, then picks him up in a gorilla press. Steiner holds Triple H up in the air for a few seconds, presses him up and down, then throws him up into the air and lets Triple H drop front first on the canvas. Steiner picks Douglas up to his feet and sets him up for a Flatliner, but Douglas elbows Steiner in the side of his head, keeps Steiner’s arms where they are, then gives Steiner the Franchiser!! Douglas hit’s the move and holds his arms up in celebration for a brief moment, then makes the cover on Steiner, 1...2...NO! Triple H breaks up the pin fall.

JS: “What the hell did Triple H break up the pin for? This is an elimination match.”

BH: “The Cerebral Assassin doesn’t do anything without having it planned out. He knows what he is doing Styles, you just wait and see.”

Triple H pounds on the back of Douglas’ head while his is still bent over making a pin attempt on Steiner, then picks him up from behind and gives him a reverse suplex. Triple H then crawls over to Steiner and goes to pin him himself, 1...2..NO! Steiner kicks out and pushes Triple H off of him. Triple H gets up to his feet at the same time Douglas gets up to his. Douglas swings with a left hook but Triple H ducks it and hits Douglas with his patented Knee of the Face buster! Douglas pops up and is on rubber legs and as he stumbles around the ring, Triple H takes him, pushes him into the ropes on the right side of the ring and clotheslines him over the top rope and onto the ring apron. Triple H gets out onto the apron going through the ropes. Triple H sets Douglas up for a Pedigree, but as he tries to lift Douglas up, Douglas holds onto the bottom ropes with his right hand, and low blows Douglas with the left. Douglas gets up to his feet, sets Triple H up for a suplex, then gives him a Fisherman Buster/ thePittsburgh Plunge through the second barbed wire plank!! Douglas landed hard on the arena floor, but did not land on the barbed wire plank at all and after a few seconds is able to pull Triple H off the broken barbed wire plank, and put him into the ring. Douglas gets back into the ring himself, hooks Triple H’s leg, and makes a cover, 1.…2...3! Triple H is eliminated!

JS: “Oh My God! Triple H was has been eliminated after taking the Pittsburgh Plunge, that devastating fisherman buster off the ring apron through the barbed wire covered plank!”

BH: “What exactly is a plank Styles? It looks like a thin piece of wood to me.”

JS: “That’s exactly what it is, is a very wide, very thin plank that is just long enough to bridge the steel guardrail and the ring.”

BH: “I’m surprised the plank can support the weight of all that barbed wire that is on top of it. Triple H’s entire back is covered in blood after going through two of those suckers, he is going to feel that in the morning, heck he’ll feel it from now until the morning.”

Douglas starts to get up to his feet but is attacked by Steiner as soon as he does. Steiner beats Douglas back down to the mat, and while Douglas is down on all fours Steiner attempts to lock on the Steiner Recliner. . .but Douglas grabs onto the near ropes with both arms and the referee forces Steiner to back off. Douglas starts to get up with his back turned to Steiner, and as Steiner moves closer to him Douglas strikes Steiner with a mule kick between his legs. Douglas spins around and goes to give Steiner another Franchiser, but when he does Steiner rakes Douglas’ eyes, keeps Douglas’ arms in the position they’re in and gives Douglas a Flatliner! Steiner gets to his knees and rolls Douglas out of the ring and onto the ring apron of the near side of the ring in front of the last barbed wire plank. Steiner rolls onto the apron as well, then gets up to his feet, and points out into the crowd getting everyone in attendance to rise up to their feet. Steiner picks Douglas up as if to give him a butterfly suplex, lifts Douglas up, and gives him a Spinning Double Under hook Suplex into a Powerbomb through the last barbed wire plank!! The crowd pops huge and chants “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” as Steiner drops down to the arena floor, picks up Douglas, and rolls him back into the ring. Steiner walks around to the near left corner and walks up the ring steps to get back into the ring. Steiner pulls Douglas’ bloody body into the center of the ring, makes sure he is on his stomach, then picks up Douglas’ arms, and locks him in the Steiner Recliner!! Douglas fights it for a few seconds, but as the cuts on his back tear into his skin even deeper, he submits. Scott Steiner wins!

JS: “Dear lord, as Scott Steiner releases the Steiner Recliner and gets up to his feet, his stomach and chest are covered with streaks of Douglas’ blood.”

BH: “Anyone who thought this match was for the weak of heart was mistaken. Douglas and Triple H have lost a lot of blood out here. Those boards aren’t mildly wrapped in barbed wire, they are covered with the stuff.”

JS: “Scott Steiner’s stomach is now covered with the eHw Intercontinental Title which he has now held longer than anyone in eHw history. I told you brain, don’t sleep on Big Poppa Pump.”

BH: “I’ve covered Steiner throughout his entire career, I know what he is capable of. I thought tonight was Triple H’s night, but I know to never look past Freakzilla ever again.”

**Ring crew clears ringside of the broken barbed wire planks and mops down the floor to clean up all of the blood as “Basic Thuganomics” hits and the crowd starts cheering. John Cena walks through the curtain with Torrie Wilson behind him. Cena throws up the W with his two arms/hands and makes his way down to the ring with the crowd cheering him on the entire way. Torrie walks up the ring steps and holds the ropes open for Cena, Cena gets into the ring and poses for the crowd while circling around the middle of the ring. Torrie gets down at stands at ringside as the lights in the arena go pitch black. After a couple of seconds “Seek and Destroy” by Metallica begins playing and the lights begin flickering on and off. Spotlights shine on the entryway as Sting walks through the curtain and makes his way down to the ring to the same amount of cheers that Cena received on his way down to the ring. Sting gets into the ring and gives his trademark yell out to the crowd as the lights in the arena come back on. Sting takes off his black trench coat as Cena takes off his throw back jersey as the referee calls for the bell.**

Sting and Cena lock up in the center of the ring, after a few second Sting pushes Cena down on his ass , then flexes his muscles, and again gives his trademark yell out to the crowd who all yell back. Cena gets up to his feet, not taking his eyes off of Sting. The two lock up again and almost immediately Sting puts Cena in a side headlock. Cena backs Sting against the ropes, then using his hair, whips Sting off the opposite ropes. Sting bounces off the ropes and Cena hits him with a should tackle that knocks Sting down to the mat. Cena then throws up the W with his hands and gets a big pop from the crowd. Sting gets up to his feet with a smirk on his face, the two go to lock up again but Sting chops Cena in the throat. Cena clutches at his throat and Sting gives Cena a running one handed face buster. Sting wastes little time, he grabs Cena by the legs, turns him over on his back, and goes to lock Cena in the Scorpion Death Lock, but Cena sits up, pulls Sting down by the hair, and rolls him up in a small package, 1..2..NO! Sting kicks out and both men quickly get up to their feet. Cena hip tosses Sting across the ring but Sting gets up immediately and comes after Cena again. Cena goes for another hip toss but Sting jumps into it and lands on his feet. Sting goes to whip Cena into the far right corner of the ring but Cena holds onto Sting’s arm, Cena pulls Sting into him, kicks him in the stomach, and gives him a DDT. Cena gets up to his feet and climbs up to the top turnbuckle of the near left corner of the ring which is the corner closest to Sting. Sting gets up to his feet after a few seconds and when he does Cena leaps and crashes on Sting with a cross body block from the top rope but when then hit the mat Sting rolls over and ends up making the pin attempt on Cena, 1..2.…NO! Both men again get up to their feet quickly, Cena decks Sting with a hard right hand, but Sting answers with a side chop to Cena’s chest. Cena punches Sting again, but Sting just flexes and yells at Cena bringing the crowd to life again. Cena goes for another punch but Sting blocks it, chops Cena, then whips Cena into the far left corner of the ring. Sting charges the corner, jumps, and connects with the Stinger Splash! Cena stumbles out of the corner and Sting turns him around and sets him up for the Scorpion Death Drop but as soon as he does Cena drops down to his knees and elbows Sting in the stomach. Cena gets back up to his feet, puts Sting’s left arm around his neck, and gives him a Spin Out Powerbomb! Cena hooks the leg and makes a cover, 1...2...NO! Sting kicks out and Cena gets up to his feet and starts pumping up his sneakers. Cena waits for Sting to get up to his feet, and when he does he picks him up in a fireman’s carry. Cena walks to the center of the ring and calls for the F U but before he can deliver Sting rakes Cena’s eyes and pushes off to get down behind Cena. Sting lands on his feet behind Cena and as he does Cena backs into him while covering his eyes. Cena backs Sting into the ropes but after hitting the ropes Sting bends Cena back, and nails the Scorpion Death Drop!! Sting makes the cover on Cena but unknowingly has his feet in the ropes as he makes the cover on Cena, 1.…2...3! Sting wins!

JS: “Wait a minute, Sting had his feet in the ropes. The ref should have broken the count, you can’t have your feet in the ropes while you’re making a pin.”

BH: “Says who?!”

JS: “Says the rulebook, something you wouldn’t be too familiar with weasel. I’m sure Sting didn’t mean to hook the ropes or anything, he was backed into them by Cena, but still the referee shouldn’t have continued the count.”

**Torrie Wilson gets into the ring and lets the referee know that Sting was in the ropes as Sting celebrates his victory. Sting makes his way back to the locker room, high fiving fans along the way as the camera fades to the back where Gene Okurlend is standing in front of an eHw backdrop.**

Mean Gene: “I’m standing bye here with the newest edition to the eHw locker room. A man who has come out of a four year retirement to return to the ring, and for the first time to compete in eHw, the man of a thousand holds himself, Dean Malenko! Dean, on behalf of everyone in eHw, let me just say welcome.”

Dean: “Thanks Gene. I just hope for the sake of the health of all of the wrestlers in the locker room, that people don’t take me lightly because I have been retired for a few years. During my time, I was one of the most technically sound wrestlers in the world, and no one, not even my good friend Chris Benoit could apply a hold more proper than I could. I’ve come to eHw because this is the place to be if you have a burning desire to wrestle, and to be the best. EHW Desire is what I am all about, and soon all the wrestlers here and all of the eHw fans will see that.”

**As Dean finishes talking Sting walks into the picture.**

Sting: “Dean Malenko, YEAH!! The man of a thousand holds is back!! Brother, welcome back to wrestling, and welcome to eHw! It’s great to have a wrestler and a person of your caliber back in this business. We need more people like you around and I just wanna say that I wish you all of the best, and even more success this time around than you had during your last run in wrestling even though you did hold your fair share of titles in every company you wrestled in. And you wrestled in them all.”

Dean: “Thanks Sting, and let me just say. . . .”

**Dean is interrupted as John Cena, Torrie Wilson, Chris Benoit, and Shelton Benjamin walk into the picture all of them with their eyes on Sting.**

John Cena: “Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!! Hold the phone just one second. I ain’t here to rap, I’m here to let the man in the painted face know that he just got a tainted victory over the Docta of Thuganomics.”

Sting: “Tainted, what are you talking about?”

John Cena: “Bro, you had your feet in the ropes. I saw it, Torrie saw it, the whole world saw it. Only the blind referee didn‘t see it. There ain‘t no justice except street justice. And if you got the stones, you‘ll fight me again at the next show.”

Sting: “Sonny boy, I‘ve never backed down from a challenge in my life. Not from Flair, not from Vader, not from Hogan, not from Hart. I sure as hell am not backing down from you. You want a piece of the Stinger at the next show, brother you got it.”

**As Sting finishes speaking Paul Heyman enters the picture.**

Paul E: “Dean, you might want to steer clear of this. I set you up for your debut match at the next show, we’ll talk about it later. Right now I got the luxury suite of the arena reserved for you to watch the first ever eHw Iron Man Match in style, so I’ll see you later.”

**Dean looks at Heyman, then looks at Benoit, then leaves.**

Paul E: “Now, as for you two. John, you‘re right Sting‘s feet were in the ropes and that is illegal. Now I‘m not going to reverse the decision, it‘ll stand as a victory for Sting. And since you two have agreed to a rematch at our next show, which will be eHw Suicide, I think we need to sweeten the pot in true hardcore fashion. John, since you have a Deathmatch title shot coming your way, I say we make your next match with Sting for the vacant Deathmatch Title. And since you got hosed on the call, I‘ll even let you choose the match type.”

**Cena looks at Heyman, surprised at how reasonable he is being.**

John Cena: “Yeah, yeah, that works for me. I say we raise the stakes on this match too. I mean we literally RAISE the stakes bro. Lets fight our fight twenty five feet above the ring, and stack some tables under us and have ourselves an Old School Scaffold Match.”

**The crowd pops in the background.**

Sting: “Brother, I‘ve spent the best years of my career above the ring, it‘s second nature to the Stinger. You want it, you got it, I‘ll see you at Suicide.”

**The camera fades back to the announce table.**

JS: “Did you hear that Brain? We are going to have an Old School Scaffold Match between Sting and John Cena for the vacant Deathmatch Title.”

BH: “I saw an intergender tag team Scaffold Match in WCW a few years back. They are something to be taken seriously, and I know that those two will be taking each other very seriously in their next encounter. Two men are going to go up, one is going to come down with the Deathmatch title, the other is just going to come down.”

JS: “Now it’s time for the main event. The historic first ever Iron Man Match in eHw history that features two of eHw’s greatest icons. Al Snow looks to become a two time eHw World Champion tonight and score his first ever one on one win over The Sandman. The Sandman looks to defend his record setting sixth eHw World Title and looks to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he is the greatest wrestler in eHw history. Tonight he’ll have to prove that he is the greatest wrestler, because there will be no weapon use allowed in this match.”

BH: “It’s an Iron Man Match, the person with the most falls at the end of the sixty minute period is the winners. Falls come from pins, submissions, count outs, and or disqualifications. And if the ref sees the Sandman using that Singapore Cain of his, then Al Snow is going to score a fall. It is going to be a true test for The Sandman to see just how good he really is.”

Michael Buffer: “LLLLLadies and gentlemen, it is now time for your main event of the evening. For the first time in eHw history, two men will put their bodies and careers on the line in the most grueling, endurance challenging match that has ever been conceived. It is an Iron Man Match for the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD. Are you ready?! Chicago, Illinois, ARE YOU RRRRRREADDYYYY?!! Well then for the thousands in attendance, and millions watching eHw’s Redemption around the world, ladies and gentlemen, LLLLLLETS GET RRRREADY TO RRRRRUUUUMMMMMBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEE!!!!”

**”What Does Everybody Want?!” is heard and Al Snow walks through the curtain and makes his way down to the ring.**

Michael Buffer: “First, coming to the ring is the challenger. Wearing black, trimmed with white and silver. He is a man that has made his living defying the odds of the wrestling business and proving the nay sayers in his peers and the wrestling media wrong. He is the leader of the most dominant, most successful, most long standing stable in extreme hardcore wrestling history the Extreme Task Force, and currently is one half of the eHw World Tag Team Champions with his long time partner Hardcore Holly. Here he is, the last inductee of the Crown of Barbed Wire, the master of the Snow Plow, AAALLLLLL SSSSNNNNNNOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!”

**Al Snow’s music fades as the lights in the arena darken and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica plays. The lights come back on as The Sandman makes his way down to the ring.**

Michael Buffer: “And now coming to the ring, carrying his signature Singapore Cain in hand, the champion. Perhaps the most recognizable face that this company and the world of hardcore wrestling has ever known. He is know around the world for being the cigarette smoking, beer swilling, cain swinging, original anti hero of professional wrestling. Ladies and gentlemen, the current, reigning, and defending six time eHw HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WWWWOORRRLLLLDDD! The most successful champion in eHw history, the Hardcore Icon, the King of the Extreme, this. . .is. . . THE SSSSAAANNNNDDMMMMAAANNNNNN!!!!”

**Michael Buffer exit’s the ring as the referee holds the world title belt up above his head in the middle of the ring while Al Snow and The Sandman don’t take their eyes off of each other. Sandman holds up his Singapore Cain above his head, then throws it into the crowd where it is fought for for a few seconds by fans in the first few rows. The referee hands the belt to the ring announcer and calls for the bell signaling the start of the Iron Man Match.**

BH: “You know grease ball, Sandman is at a severe disadvantage in this match.”

JS: “I don’t know about that, he has the champions advantage just like in any title match.”

BH: “Well that advantage goes right out the window due to the fact that both of his finishing moves, the Singapore Legsweep, and the Last Call both depend on him using the Singapore Cain. He is banned from using it in this match, so how is he going to finish Al Snow off?”

JS: “That is a great point Brain, a great point. The Sandman has never been put in the position of not being allowed to use a Singapore Cain in a match in at least a decade. He has grown accustomed to using it, like second nature. We’ll have to see if he can adapt and can persevere like the great champion that he has been.”

The Sandman and Al Snow begin circling the ring, neither man looking anywhere else except at the other. They go to lock up, but Sandman hits Snow with a thumb to the eye and takes him down with an arm drag takedown and locks him in an arm stretch. Sandman wrenches in on the arm as much as he can but Al Snow rolls to his side and gets back up on his feet rather quickly. Snow has his left arm in the arm bar with Sandman pull down on it trying to pull the arm out of it’s socket. Snow tries to spin around and hit Sandman with a right elbow to the head but Sandman ducks it, puts Al in a hammer lock, then gives him an hammer lock body slam. Snow’s body lands on his arm as Sandman takes a step back and holds his right arm above his head getting cheered by the crowd. Snow takes his time getting back up to his feet slightly favoring his left arm. The two go to lock up again but this time Snow dropkicks the Sandman right on his right knee cap. Sandman goes down hard and Snow quickly gets up to his feet, runs off the ropes, and dropkicks The Sandman right in his face. Al gets to his knees, grabs The Sandman’s right leg, and puts him in a leg lock. Snow pulls back trying to pull Sandman’s leg out of socket, The Sandman sits up to try and relieve some of the pressure of the hold. Snow keeps the hold locked on, keeping The Sandman in pain as he falls back causing the referee to make a count since his shoulders are on the mat, 1..2..NO! Sandman sits back up and tries to turn his body over to get to the ropes. Snow tries pulling back on the hold but Sandman is able to roll over and get to the ropes forcing Snow to break the hold. Sandman stays on the ropes and uses them to get back up to his feet as Snow gets up to his feet and moves closer to Sandman. Sandman gets up to his feet and as soon as he lets go of the ring ropes Snow grabs Sandman’s right leg, holds it up, and gives Sandman a dragon screw leg whip to the mat. Sandman begins favoring his leg again, but as Snow goes to put Sandman in a spinning toe hold, Sandman sits up and punches Snow right between the eyes knocking Snow back and down on his ass. Sandman rolls away, back into the ropes, and again uses them to get up to his feet. Snow gets up to his feet but is visibly dizzy after taking a straight punch to the face. Sandman kicks Snow in the stomach and gives him a Pulling Piledriver, the makes a cover, 1...2...NO! Snow kicks out at the 51:00 minute mark. Sandman grab’s Snow’s right arm while he is down and puts him in an arm scissors.

JS: “Both men are feeling each other out right now. They have each picked a body part to go after, they are going to soften the arm and leg of their opponent up now, so by the time the one hour mark is coming, they are going to be thriving in pain and won’t be at nearly one hundred percent.”

BH: “Exactly, this is good old fashion wrestling going on right now. These two men are targeting a part of their opponent’s body and are going to work at it until the weakness of the muscle causes them to make a mistake for them to capitalize on later in the match.”

Snow kicks his legs up a couple of times, then on the third kicks out of the hold and lands on his feet. Sandman rolls over and gets up to his feet. He gets up and is met with a left jab to the side of his jaw, Sandman attempts to answer with a haymaker punch but Snow ducks it, and gives Sandman a T Bone Suplex. Sandman lands on his neck and shoulders and rolls out of the ring to avoid a pin attempt. The referee begins counting Sandman immediately as Al Snow takes his time getting up to his feet and lets the referee make the count, 1..2...3.…4.….5.…..6.……7.…….Sandman gets up on his knees and gets back into the ring rolling in under the bottom rope but as soon as he does Snow bounces off the rope and baseball slide kicks Sandman back out of the ring. Al stands by the near ropes of the ring waiting for The Sandman to get up on the outside and when he does Snow pulls back on the ropes and crashes down on Sandman with a spring board body splash over the top rope and to the outside. Both men land hard on the arena floor and after a full minute, Snow gets up to his feet and picks Sandman up to his feet. Snow hits Sandman with a few fore arms shots to the side of his head and then throws him face first into the steel ring poll of the near right side of the ring. Sandman goes down on all fours, clutching at his face. Snow stands over Sandman and holds his hands up getting cheers from the crowd but as he does Sandman gets up to one knee, wraps his arms around Snow’s mid section, and runs Al back first into the steel ring post as the referee is counting in the ring. 1..2...3.…4.….5.…..6.……7.…….8...Sandman rolls back into the ring but Snow is still down on the outside……9.………10! The referee calls for the bell and The Sandman goes up 1 to 0 by count out at the 40:30 mark in the match.

JS: “The Sandman goes up one to zero on Al Snow by driving Snow back first into the steel ring post, the quickly rolling into the ring to avoid the count out.”

BH: “A smart veteran move on the part of The Sandman. He clearly hasn’t been drinking, or has been drinking that much tonight. Great awareness of where he was and what the count was at to take Snow down, then to quickly get in the ring and get the ever so important first fall in the match.”

JS: “Did you just compliment The Sandman?”

BH: “Well when the drunk bastard actually shows some wrestling ability instead of putting himself through tables and lighting himself on fire I don’t mind the guy.”

Sandman catches his breath in the ring and gets back up on his feet while Al Snow favors his back and slowly gets up to his feet on the outside. Sandman runs off the opposite ropes, the charges the ropes closest to Snow and hit’s a suicide dive through the ropes and onto Al Snow! Both men hit hard on the arena floor again and after nearly a minute Sandman uses the steel guardrail to pick himself, and Al Snow up to his feet. Sandman rolls Snow back into the ring and gets back into the ring himself. Sandman calls for the end of the match and picks Snow up to his feet and sets him up of a Russian Legsweep. Sandman goes to execute it but Snow elbows Sandman repeatedly on the side of his head and gets away from him. Snow picks The Sandman up for a body slam but then drops him in a Michinoku Driver with a pin attempt, 1.…2...NO! Sandman is able to kick out but doesn’t move afterwards. Snow grabs Sandman’s left leg, lifts it up, and slams it knee first onto the mat. Sandman clutches at the knee for several seconds until Snow grabs it again, lifts it up, and slams the leg knee first onto the mat again. Sandman favors his leg again and while he does Snow bounces off the ropes and leg drops Sandman across the back of his head while he is favoring his leg. Snow gets up, grabs Sandman’s right leg, turns Sandman over onto his stomach, then leans down on the leg, grabs Sandman on the by the hair and chin, and locks on an STF submission hold. Sandman yells in pain as Snow cinches in on the hold and has Sandman away from the ropes. Snow keeps the holds locked in but he leans over to far and falls off of The Sandman’s body releasing the pressure of the hold and allowing Sandman to roll away from him. Snow is quick to get back on his feet then, the charges and kicks Sandman right on his right calf muscle. Snow picks Sandman up to his feet but as he does Sandman punches Al hard in his mid section and attempts to give him a DDT. But Snow drops down to one knee to stop Sandman from being able to perform the move. Sandman pounds on the back of Al’s neck a few times until Snow stands back up. Sandman again goes for a DDT but instead Snow picks him up and gives him a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge, 1...2.…NO! Sandman kicks out and Snow breaks the bridge. Snow gets up on his feet with a look of frustration on his face. Snow picks Sandman up and runs him head first into the top turnbuckle of the near left corner of the ring. Snow picks Sandman up and crotches him on the top turnbuckle. Snow then turns around and gets up on the second rope, sitting on the top turnbuckle. Snow grabs Sandman by both of his biceps and picks him up with his back turned to him. Snow turns back to see that Sandman’s feet aren’t locked around the turnbuckle, and gives him a Flipping Slam off the tope rope! Snow favors his tailbone for a few seconds due to the impact of hitting the move but then makes the cover, 1.…2.…3! The referee calls for the bell and Al Snow ties up The Sandman 1 to 1 with 28:45 left in the match.

JS: “With a high impact, high risk flipping slam from the top rope Al Snow has tied it up at one fall a piece here in the first ever, historic eHw Iron Man Match for the eHw World Title.”

BH: “Al Snow started to get frustrated, but a true champion keeps his calm in matches of this magnitude. He kept after The Sandman and now has tied it up at a fall a piece. Now the only question is which one of these ham and eggers has enough moxy in them to take the lead.”

Snow gets up to his feet at catches his breath while The Sandman shows little signs of movement on the mat. Snow doesn’t give Sandman any leaning room, he goes right back on the attack by putting Sandman in a spinning toe hold on his right leg. Snow goes around three times, but on the forth Sandman sits up and takes Snow down putting him a small package, 1..2...NO!

JS: “Snow isn’t going to be able to get that move off very well on The Sandman. That move, brought into the business by Terry Funk, a man that The Sandman both feuded and teamed with for years in ECW. He’ll have that move scouted out from every angle because he was taught about it by the master.”

BH: “Don’t think that is all Funk taught him, he is one of the best teachers in this business and Sandman will have plenty of tricks up his sleeve with just about twenty five minutes left in this match.”

Both men get up to their feet, Sandman decks Snow with a hard right hand, but Snow answers right back with a right cross right across Sandman’s left cheek. Snow goes for another dropkick to Sandman’s leg but Sandman sees Snow going into and as Snow drops down to hit the dropkick, Sandman jumps up, and crashes on Al Snow with an elbow drop right on Snow’s right rib cage. Sandman rolls Snow over on his stomach, bounces off the ropes, and drops another elbow right into the small of Snow’s back. Snow yells in pain and favors his back as Sandman uses the ropes to get back up to his feet once again. Sandman picks Snow up to his feet, picks him up for a suplex, then drops him stomach first on the middle of the top ropes on the far side of the ring. Sandman takes a few breathes, then walks over to the far right corner of the ring. Sandman climbs up to the top rope, gets his balance, leaps, and leg drops Al Snow across his back while he is draped across the top rope. Snow falls down to the mat, Sandman moves him away from the ropes, and makes a cover, 1.….2.…NO! Snow kicks out causing Sandman to sit up in disbelief. Sandman pulls Al close to the middle of the ring, keeping him laying on his stomach, then slowly walks over to the near left corner of the ring. Sandman climbs up to the top rope, leaps, and hit’s a senton splash on the back of Al Snow! Sandman makes another cover, 1.…2.….NO! Snow kicks out again but continues to favor his back as he rolls away from The Sandman, while The Sandman gets into the referee’s face about making a slow count. Snow now uses the ropes to pull himself up to his feet showing that his back is in a lot of pain. Sandman turns and makes his way over towards Snow but is greeted with a side kick right to the side of his head knocking him down to the mat. Sandman appears to be knocked out by the kick as Snow slowly makes his way to the far left corner of the ring, and climbs up to the top rope with his back turned to the ring. Snow gets up to the top rope and has a hard time standing up straight and as he takes this extra time, Sandman shows he was playing possum by getting up to his knees, and running against the ropes to cause Snow to get unbalanced and crotch himself on the top turnbuckle. Sandman gets up and climbs up to the top rope behind Snow. Sandman stands next to Snow, and pulls him up to his feet. Sandman makes sure he and Snow are balanced, then gives him a Russian Legsweep off the top rope!! The crowd pops huge for the move but Sandman is unable to make the pin as both his leg and the back of his head hit the mat very hard. Sandman shakes his head back and forth while laying on the mat a few times, then after half a minute, he rolls on top of Al Snow to make a cover, 1.….2.….NO! Snow is somehow able to kick out causing the crowd to pop even louder. Neither man move for a while, but finally Sandman rolls up to all fours and gets up to his feet with Al Snow rolling over onto his stomach and very slowly beginning to get up to his feet. As both men start to get up however, Hardcore Holly runs down to ringside with a steel chair I hand. Holly slides the chair into the ring in front of both Al Snow and The Sandman and gets up on the ring apron distracting the referee. Snow goes to grab the chair but The Sandman is up on his feet by this time, steps on the chair and slides it towards him. Sandman picks up the chair as Snow gets up to his feet and jams the edge of the top of it into Snow’s stomach. Snow bends over in pain and Sandman drops the chair on the mat, grabs Snow’s head, and gives him a Swing back DDT on the steel chair!! Hardcore Holly goes nuts on the apron and yells at the ref to look at what Sandman is doing as Sandman takes the chair and slides it out of the ring. Sandman gets up to his feet, charges, and knocks Holly off the mat and down to the arena floor with a running clothesline. Sandman then stumbles backwards, falls down, and makes a cover on Al Snow, 1.….2.….3! The Sandman goes up 2 to 1with 13:15 left in the match!

JS: “The Sandman goes up two to one on the back of the back fired interference of Hardcore Holly. Holly tried to help out Al Snow but introducing a chair into the ring while distracting the official. But Sandman got his hands on the chair first and hit is trademark DDT on it, then got the chair out of the ring and got the pin.”

BH: “He used blatant cheating to get that fall. . . I like that.”

JS: “We have less than fifteen minutes to go in this Iron Man Match, crunch time is about to begin for these two warriors, only one of them can leave Redemption as the eHw World Champion.”

Several eHw officials and members of security come down to ringside and force Hardcore Holly to return to the locker room. Back in the ring The Sandman sits up on the mat, rubbing his right leg for a few seconds as it appears in addition to the damage the leg has taken, he also has a cramp. Sandman gets up to his feet after about a minute and holds his arm above his head getting a big pop from the crowd with some noticeable boos heard as well. Sandman picks Snow up and whips him into the near right corner of the ring, Sandman charges into the corner to clothesline Snow in the corner but Snow swings his feet up and kicks Sandman right in the kisser. Snow grabs Sandman from behind, spins him around, and hits him with the Trapping Head butts!. Sandman goes down and Snow drags Sandman closer to the near right corner, then slowly climbs up to the top rope with his back to the ring again. Snow gets up to the top, stands up straight with a very pained look on his face, then jumps back, and nails Sandman with a Moonsault! Snow makes a cover on The Sandman, 1.….2.…..3! Snow gets the pin and ties things up at 2 to 2 with 9:00 left in the match.

JS: “Al Snow takes Sandman out with a one two punch of the Trapping Head butts and Moonsault and ties it up at two to two with less than ten minutes to go.”

BH: “It is officially crunch time Joey. These two men are fatigued like they have never been in their careers. It is time to kick in that extra energy that is reserved for a champion in his defining moment. I’ve seen in from Hogan, from Hart, from Austin, and now we’ll see it from one of these two.”

Both Sandman and Snow are very slow to get up to their feet. Sandman has blood trickling from his forehead from the serious of head butts he took from Snow. Snow gets up, still favoring his back which has taken a lot of damage throughout this grueling match. Sandman is leaning against the middle and bottom ropes as Snow gets up to his feet and makes his way over towards him. Snow gets a hand on Sandman’s hair and the Sandman jerks forward and kicks Snow in the stomach causing Snow to bend down and back off. Sandman pulls himself up to his feet, charges Snow, and gives him a release swinging neckbreaker. Sandman crawls over to Snow, picks his head up off the mat by the hair, and just starts repeatedly punching him in the face and forehead until the referee grabs The Sandman’s right arm and pulls him off of him. The ref warns Sandman he will be disqualified for continuous use of closed fist punches but the damage has been done as Al Snow is now busted open and has blood trickling out of his nose as well. Sandman shakes his hand which is in pain from hitting Snow so hard, so many times. Sandman gets up to his feet and pulls Al up to his by his hair. Sandman whips Snow off the ropes, he goes for a clothesline but Snow ducks it. Snow stops right behind Sandman, grabs him head, and with his back to him, gives him a hangman’s neckbreaker. Snow then makes a cover, 1.…..2.….NO! Sandman gets his right arm up before the ref can count to three. Snow wipes the blood out of his eyes and gets up to his feet. Snow calls for the end of the match as he picks The Sandman up and sets him up for what appears to be a suplex. Snow gets Sandman in position for a Snow Plow but Sandman pushes off and lands behind Snow. Sandman grabs Snow from behind and runs him front first all the way into the far left corner of the ring. Sandman turns Al around, picks him up, and crotches him on the top turnbuckles. Sandman holds his arm above his head, then spins his hand around in a circle a few times, signaling that he is going for the Heinekanrana at the 1:00 minute mark. The Sandman climbs up to the top rope in front of Snow, but as soon as he gets up there Snow hit’s a knockout uppercut right to Sandman’s jaw. Sandman is about to fall back but Snow holds him on by the shirt. After a few seconds Snow gets up to his feet, picks The Sandman up for a suplex, then jumps down, and nails Sandman with a Snow Plow off the top rope!!! Snow favors his back after hitting the move, but musters enough strength together to hook Sandman’s right leg and make a cover, 1.…..2.……3! Al Snow goes up 3 to 2 with :03. . . :02. . .:01. . .:00! Al Snow wins!

JS: “OH MY GOD!! Al Snow is the new champion! Al Snow has won the first ever eHw Iron Man Match and is the new eHw Heavyweight Champion of the World!!”

BH: “What awareness he showed in severe pain. The impact of the move from the top, sent a shock wave right up his spine. But he knew that time was running out, and was able to make the pin attempt. A smart move, that has made him the new eHw Champion of the World.”

JS: “And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. Al Snow has proven time in and time out that he is the hardest working man in eHw today, and in eHw history. He earned this one, just like the first, but with this win coming in the first ever Iron Man Match in eHw history, against hands down eHw’s greatest world champion of all time, Al Snow is going to consider this title win, all the more sweeter and meaningful.”

**Al Snow gets up to his knees and is handed the world title belt by the referee. Al clutches the title and hugs it for a few seconds as tears roll down his eyes. Snow then gets up to his feet and holds the title belt up with one hand while the referee holds his other arm up in victory as the crowd goes nuts. Snow then grabs the world title belt with both hands, bends down, then holds the world title belt up like he does HEAD. The crowd continues to cheer as Al’s music blasts and the rest of the Extreme Task Force comes down to the ring to congratulate him. The camera fades to black as all the members of the ETF stand in the ring holding their hands up with Al standing in the center with the eHw World Title belt in his hands.**
