The scene opens up in the president's office of BJWC headquarters. The camera focuses in on the gold plated name plate of Shane Andrews. As the camera slowly pans back, a small American flag rests on the left side of the desk and a half full bottle of Jack Daniels rests on the right side of the desk. As the camera pans back even further we see that it is not Shane Andrews at the desk, but none other then former president Malice.
Nothing seems to have changed from the last time that we saw him. Large bags hang under his bloodshot eyes, as the lines of age and abuse show on his sagging face. He pours himself a glass from the whiskey bottle and drinks half of it down before turning his attention towards the camera.
Malice: Ladies and Gentleman, fans, and most importantly, employees of the BJWC. Apparently the BJWC executive committee decided that president Shane Andrews stepped over the line last week at Heat Wave and abused his powers beyond that fragile invisible line that we all so closely tread upon on a daily basis. However, upon Andrews immediate dismissal following the before mentioned event, they did not have anyone already in place to adequately replace him. So in a mad dash they came up with yours truely. Apparently being an alcoholic, drug addict, with below average hygiene, and even more below average communication skills was the best man for the job. So like it or not, I'm back and running the show.
Malice begins to pour himself another glass of whiskey.
Malice: A lot of you have already caught wind of this and I have been spending quite a few waking moments listening to complaints about this and that and certain people are already packing their bags for what they hope to be greener pastures. Some people had plans already in place that they don't want disrupted, other people feel they have been passed over for title shots just one too many times, and other people don't feel they have been given an even playing field to compete. And the worst complaint I've heard is for the huge battle royal match scheduled next Riot. Well the answer I have for all your complaints. I will grant you every single chance that you earn. And this battle royal gives every single one of you, your chance to prove yourselves and put you exactly where you have earned the spot to be on in the BJWC title hunts. No more complaining to me gentlemen, it is in your own hands now.
Malice makes a face laced with pain as he chugs from his glass of Jack.
Malice: Alright, now that I have that all cleared up, we have a match tonight. Tonight is not about me or the power exchange. It is about who will represent the BJWC for a shot at the NEWA North American Championship. So get those dam camera's out of my office and get to the ring.

Edgebrook: Welcome fans to a single match Riot where we will determine who faces Nick Jeffries for his NEWA North American Championship.
Timmons: A lot of action on the way James, and we have already had a lot of backstage action with the surprise announcement of that drunken idiot Malice being back in control of the reigns.
Edgebrook: Let's not waste any time, five of our six contestants are already in the ring.
ANNOUNCER: And now coming to the ring…standing at seven foot-one and weighing in at three-hundred and thirty-five pounds…he is the CURRENT B-J-W-C Hardcore Champion…Cyris….Raaaaaaaavvvveeeeeeennnnnnn.
{Fans pop}
{The lights in the arena flicker and then go out, but quickly come back on in sort of a black-light type light. The teletron lights up, showing a graveyard. Rain can be heard all around the arena}
KID: It’s a monster…
WOMAN: No…it’s a man.
MAN: No...it’s …it’s…
RAVEN: I’m the HARDCORE CHAMPION!!!
# I feel like I wanna smack somebody
Turn around and bitch slap somebody (bitch)
But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no)
I ain't givin' into it (no, no, no)
EDGEBROOK: AND HERE HE COMES!
{Cyris walks out of the back. He is wearing the Hardcore Title around his neck like a necklace, sporting his new ‘BEEF…IT’S WHATS FOR DINNER" shirt. He walks out to the top of the ramp and raises his hands into the air}
#Anxieties bash my mind in
Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden
But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no)
I won't lose control bro (no, no, no)
{Cyris throws his arms down as pyros shoot off. The added affect of the black-light, add an enhanced view to the pyros}
# Shackle and chained
My soul feels stained
I can't explain got an itch on my brain
Lately my whole aim is to maintain
And regain control of my mainframe
{Cyris walks down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans as he goes past}
#My bloods boiling its beatin' out propane
My train of thoughts more like a runaway train
I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane
In the rain and I'm might just hydroplane.
{Slowly Cyris climbs up the steps and climbs into the ring. He goes around to each side of the ropes…and stands on them, raising his hands into the air as the fans get louder}
# I don't fear none of my enemies
And I don't fear bullets from oozies
I've been dealing with something thats worse than these
That'll make you fall to your knees and thats the
The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety
The sane and the insane rivalry
Paranoias brought me to my knees
Lord please please please
Take away my anxiety.
{The music fades out and the lights go back to normal as Cyris stands in the middle of the ring}
{DING, DING}
EDGEBROOK: All six men are in the ring and this looks like it is going to be a fun match.
TIMMONS: Why the hell is everyone standing still?
EDGEBROOK: I don’t know. WAIT…BRIAN STEELE LURCHED FORWARD AFTER CYRIS RAVEN.
WHACK!
TIMMONS: But Steele is quickly taken down by a Kahn spear. Kahn is going to town on Steele as Logan and Dade begin to battle.
EDGEBROOK: Meanwhile, Cyris and Nightmare are caught in a stare down. After Heatwave’s monstrous Hardcore Title match, I’m surprised these two are even moving. Nightmare drops back, bounces off the ropes and charges Cyris. Cyris ducks down…but Nightmare stops…KICK TO THE CHEST AND CYRIS IS UP AND GASPING FOR AIR.
TIMMONS: Logan Outlaw is up and he has Dane in a sleeper-hold. He may be the Riot Champion, but does he realize that dead weight is harder to pick up and throw, then someone who is still awake?
EDGEBROOK: Nightmare jumps…DROPKICK AND CYRIS RAVEN IS UP AGAINST THE ROPES. And here we go folks…Dade is left stranded as Nightmare, Logan Outlaw, Brian Steele and Kahn are all at it, trying to push the Hardcore Champion, Cyris Raven, over the ropes.
TIMMONS: Good luck. Cyris has his arms wrapped around the ropes…HOLY HELL!!! CYRIS JUST LAID OUT KAHN WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE HEARD ROUND THE WORLD. Cyris is out of the ropes as everyone scatters like cockroaches.
EDGEBROOK: Logan, Steele, Kahn and Nightmare all slide out from under the bottom rope. By the rules, none of them are eliminated, but they all fear the wrath of the Hardcore Champ.
TIMMONS: Poor Dane is left all alone in there. Wait…Cyris doesn’t notice him. Dane is up and he is behind Raven. He charges, SHOULDER TO THE BACK OF CYRIS’ RIGHT KNEE. The Champ is down and Dane is up on his feet. The rest of the men slide in. Nightmare is in first…DROPKICK TO THE FACE AND BLOOD SPEWS FROM CYRIS’ NOSE.
EDGEBROOK: This doesn’t look good for Raven. Nightmare and Kahn pull Cyris to his feet. They whip him into the ropes…he comes flying back…THEY PICK HIM UP INTO THE AIR. NECKBREAKER BY BRIAN STEELE AND CYRIS RAVEN IS FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT.
TIMMONS: Look at the blood stain on the mat. Someone is going to have to clean that off.
EDGEBROOK: Kahn and Nightmare pull Cyris back to his feet. Now EVERYONE is pushing on Cyris. He’s up against the ropes…he’s on top of the ropes…
TIMMONS: THEY FLIPPED CYRIS RAVEN OVER THE ROPES!!! HE IS ELIMINATED!!!
EDGEBROOK: NO…CYRIS LANDED ON THE APRON. Everyone has turned their back to Cyris, thinking he is gone. Raven grabs the rope, bends down…OH MY GOD!!! CYRIS RAVEN JUST LAUNCHED HIMSELF OVER THE ROPES LIKE A CRUISERWIEGHT, CRASHING INTO EVERYONE.
TIMMONS: Well no matter what, Cyris Raven is still woozy…and he is on the mat. Nightmare and Dane Black are up. Dane turns around as Nightmare grabs him by the throat…he carries him over to the side of the ring…is he going to toss him?
EDGEBROOK: It looks like it. But…no…Dane wiggles free and drops to the mat. He kicks Nightmare in the stomach…DDT and Nightmare is down.
TIMMONS: Logan Outlaw and Kahn are locked up on the side. Logan tries to Irish Whip Kahn, but Kahn turns it around and whips him. Outlaw comes flying back, CLOTHESLINE BY KAHN AND LOGAN OUTLAW IS TURNED INSIDE OUT.
EDGEBROOK: Look at this…Steele is coaxing Cyris Raven to get up. You can sense the pent up rage in Steele, dealing with Cyris Raven and all. These two have had a horrible past.
TIMMONS: Well Cyris is up to his knees. Brian Steele goes to kick him, but Cyris moves. Raven is quickly up as the off-guard Steele turns around. Oh no, this doesn’t look good as Cyris wraps both hands around Steele’s neck. He picks him up…GONZO-BOMB AND STEELE IS UNCONSIOUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING.
EDGEBROOK: Dane is up and he charges Kahn. Kahn drops down…BACK BODY DROP AND DANE BLACK LANDS BACKFIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE. Ouch that hurts.
TIMMONS: Dane looks injured. He is grabbing at his back, writhing in pain. And it looks like Nightmare is going to take advantage of it. Nightmare walks over…SHARPSHOOTER AND DANE BLACK IS TAPPING. Too bad that doesn’t work here.
EDGEBROOK: Logan is getting up…and Kahn is on the top rope…he jumps…BUT CYRIS RAVEN COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR…BY THE THROAT. Cyris looks like a monster in there. He lifts Kahn up…CHOKESLAM AND THE ENTIRE ARENA SHOOK.
TIMMONS: Kahn, Steele and Dane are all scattered in the ring. Cyris turns around and both Nightmare and Logan Outlaw are there waiting for him. They both grab him by the throat. DOUBLE-CHOKESLAM…NO…Cyris stopped it by grabbing them both by the throat.
EDGEBROOK: Cyris screams at both of them, letting out a roar then made me just simply wet myself. He grips there throats…both are in the air…NOW THAT’S A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM.
{Flashbulbs pop as Cyris throws his hands into the air}
TIMMONS: Cyris turns around…FLYING DROPKICK OFF THE TOP ROPE BY BRIAN STEELE!!! Cyris Raven stumbles backwards. Kahn and Dane Black each clip one of his knees.
BAM!!!
EDGEBROOK: And the giant has fallen.
TIMMONS: Yeah, but instantly, Dane is starting to kick at Logan Outlaw. He should worry more about helping eliminate these big guys, before trying to worry about Logan.
EDGEBROOK: Nightmare is slowly getting up, Steele is catching a breather against the ropes, as well is Kahn, who is sitting in the corner.
TIMMONS: Steele is up, he charges Kahn who is not paying attention in the corner. OR IS HE??? KAHN JUST MOVED AND HIT STEELE WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, SENDING STEELE FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE. Brian Steele stumbles out a little bit.
EDGEBROOK: Nightmare is behind him…DARKEST DREAMS! DARKEST DREAMS ON BRIAN STEELE AND HE FALLS LIFELESS TO THE MAT!!!
TIMMONS: Meanwhile…Logan Outlaw is up and has Dane in a Boston Crab, trying to hurt that back even more. Dane is going to put a hole in the mat with all that tapping.
EDGEBROOK: Nightmare and Kahn look at each other. Kahn charges Nightmare, but Nightmare hops over him. Nightmare turns around and superkicks at Kahn, but Kahn ducks. He grabs Nightmare around the waist and comes up between his legs. KAHN PICKS NIGHTMARE UP AND SPINS AROUND.
BAM!!!
EDGEBROOK: KAHN JUST HIT NIGHTMARE WITH A SPINNING POWERBOMB!!!
(Nightmare quickly rolls towards the corner as Kahn is sitting there rocking a bit. Logan Outlaw ends it by delivering a stiff kick to the back of Kahn’s head)
Timmons: Too bad grandfather didn’t warn him about that
(Meanwhile, Nightmare is slowly getting to his feet, only to be met with a crushing avalanche by a charging Cyris Raven. As Nightmare eats some turnbuckle, Raven is crushed by a splash from Brian Steele)
Edgebrook: Triple decker splash in his impact battle royale
Timmons: Sounds like my prom night
Edgebrook: That’s just wonderful Mike
(Outlaw has the advantage on Kahn, hitting a quick swinging neck breaker, followed up by a leg drop. Outlaw goes to celebrate, but is swiftly hit with a Thesz press by Steele)
Edgebrook: It’s pretty damn tough to celebrate when there are six other people who want to knock your block off
(Dane Black is up, driving a forearm into the back of Raven, quickly connecting with an inverted DDT, driving the skull of The Hardcore legend into the mat)
Timmons: Loosening up some twisted memories of Robert Letner perhaps.
Edgebrook: Oh god I hope not
(Black is a ball of fire, taking his lack of offense on Nightmare with an europeaon uppercut, sending Nightmare back into the corner. Black boosts Nightmare to the top turnbuckle, setting up a superplex)
Edgebrook: Is that really the best time for a high risk move?
Timmons: Well neither one of these two are gonna cure cancer anytime soon, lets just say that
(Both men are up, face lock applied…..)
Edgebrook: WATCH OUT!!!!
(Out of no where, a last ditch shove by Cyris Raven sends both men tumbling over the top rope onto the arena floor, eliminating them from the match)
Edgebrook: The Hardcore Legend busted up the superplex attempt by sending Dane Black and Nightmare crashing to the floor
Timmons: Once again, they ain’t to bright
(Raven’s glory is short lived however, as Kahn is up, delivering a jump knee lift to the small of Raven’s back. Outlaw and Steele are duking it out in the middle of the ring. Outlaw gains the upperhand quickly, hitting two right hands in a row)
Edgebrook: It’s good to see the reputation of Outlaw finally shinning through here in the BJWC
(Outlaw whips Brian into the ropes, then catching Steele with a high impact Spine buster, almost sending the ex-prez through the mat)
Edgebrook: Look at that! Steele is just an oil spot on the canvas
(Kahn is working Raven over in the corner, taking two steps back before charging. Cyris rolls out of the way, Kahn goes shoulder first into the ring post with a sickening thud)
Edgebrook: Oh god, that must have broken something
Timmons: Does Kahn actually feel pain?
Edgebrook: Logan sees Cyris and KAHN locked in battle and decided to continue his punishment of Brian Steele. He lifts Steele up and sends him to the ropes.
Timmons: MONSTER CLOTHESLINE by the Outlaw sending Brian Steele crashing to the concrete over the top rope.
Edgebrook: Somehow KAHN has turned the tide on Raven and has nailed a Face Buster on him.
Timmons: KAHN is a big man, but he might need Logan's help to lift the dead weight of Raven over the top rope.
Edgebrook: I don't know Mike, did you see him squatting cows for his workout routine this week?
Timmons: Good call James, good luck to the poor misguided KAHN in his endeavor to save the cows. I for one am having a big steak after the event tonight.
Edgebrook: KAHN and Logan are exchanging blows right now. KAHN sends Logan off the ropes and catches him in the air performing a devastating sidewalk slam.
Timmons: KAHN glances over at Raven to make sure he is still out of it, before continuing his attack on Outlaw. Smart move be the demented one.
Edgebrook: KAHN sends Logan to the ropes. Logan reverses it. KAHN with a high cross body....
Timmons: Logan catches KAHN in midair! FALL AWAY SLAM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Edgebrook: KAHN didn't look like he had a safe landing and he is out of here.
Timmons: That was just enough time for Raven to make it to his feet. And the two remaining survivors lock horns.
Edgebrook: Logan has the momentum right now as Raven is still trying to overcome the Face Driver delivered by KAHN. Side suplex by the Outlaw.
Timmons: Followed by a German Suplex, and then a belly to belly suplex. Raven is getting smoked out there. Finally mercifully, Logan heaves Raven over the top rope. But Raven manages to grab the top rope and lands on his feet on the apron.
Edgebrook: Logan attempts to knock him off the apron, but Raven battles back fiercely.
Timmons: A well placed thumb to the eye stops Logan in his tracks as Raven enters the ring and charges the other ropes.
Edgebrook: Coming off of the ropes, Raven performs a half suicide dive, half shoulder block sending Logan over the top rope and Raven also. Both men go crashing to the floor.
Timmons: It appears that Raven landed on top of Logan and that is how the ref is calling it.
Edgebrook: Congratulations to Cyris Raven, who goes on to fight for the North American Championship on the 13th.
Timmons: Huge props go out to Logan Outlaw, who showed he really wanted it tonight. I'm sure president Malice will take notice and we'll be seeing him headlining the shows before long.
[Cyris Raven hops into the crowd and takes someone’s ‘Cyris Raven…the next NWA North American Champ’ sign . He hands it back to the fan and walks happily up the ramp. As he gets to the top he points to the camera and gets real close
Cyris Raven: Get ready Nick Jeffries…the True Hardcore Legend is coming for you AND for your title. I’m coming to take what’s mine.
Edgebrook: That's it for Riot folks, see everyone in just a few days.
