To everyones surprise, a new opener for Malice begins. A matrix style culmination of letters and numbers form the nWo logo. From there the logo morphs into the WoW logo then begin to dicipate once again. The charachters fly around on the screen until they form the shape of a man. Color is added to the man and it is none other then the President of the WoW, Darren Zillaman. The show immediatly cuts live to inside the Pennsy Arena in Marfield, DE. The fans cheer and hold up their signs as they see themselves on the gigantic wraparound screen which sits ontop of a long silver stage. The stage features darkgreen lazer lights moving back and fourth over two smaller screens resembling large computer monitors. In the foreground, 13 Stitches is there playing their new official WoW theme, "The Violent".
Prez Darren - "Now now, is that anyway to treat the people who bring you the best entertainment in the world? If you all be quiet we've got some important things to take care of. Now since Ichabod is once again not able to join us this week courtosy of the Tuxedo's, I have full reign over the WoW AND nWo. Now, there's been a nasty rumor going around that I am the one behind Ichabod's kidnapping. I'm stating right now, it's not true. If you all remember, the tuxedo's shocked me last week! As much as I can't stand Ichabod, I want these tux's to be dealt with, and they will be soon enough."
Hank - "Why don't I believe him?"
Prez Darren - "Speaking of Ichabod. I had tried to book him in a title match two weeks ago against Rose. Now Rose took it upon herself to decline this match because she didn't want to win the WoW Championship by Ichabod not being able to appear. She new he wasn't going to be here and thought she would do the honorable thing. Well, it doesn't really matter who has the Championship because come Ring Wars, this man right here (he motions to Triple X) will become the NEW WoW Champion at Ring Wars."
Triple X raises his hands in the air as the crowd begins to chant "X sucks, X sucks".
Prez Darren - "That doesn't mean the match between Rose and Ichabod won't take place. Because right here, next week...it will be Ichabod defending the WoW Championship against Rose! If Ichabod fails to return by then, he will forfit the Championship to Rose. If Rose fails to show for this match and accept the WoW Championship...she'll be FIRED!"
Hank - "Fired? What a low life. Rose needs to make a living like everyone else."
Prez Darren - "Now, speaking of Ring Wars. Everyone has been wondering what this card is going to entail. How is the Ring Wars match going to go. Well, on top of a WoW Championship match between Triple X and either Ichabod or Rose, you will also see the nWo Championship on the line as Weltmeister defends against the winner of the Quake/PKA match later tonight. On top of two great title matches, we will be having the Ring Wars match itself. Listen closly because I'm not going to repeat this....
There will be 3 rings! Each ring will be connected together by an aisle way forming a triangle on the arena floor. Each ring will represent a championship title. The nWo International title. The nWo Brutality Title as well as the WoW Trivia title which will be won in a Battle Royal right here next week on Malice!
Each of those Champions after Malice next week will be a team captain and take part in a nWo/WoW draft which will take place on Ruffhouse one week before Ring Wars. They must each draft 3 other wrestlers from either the nWo or WoW. The only rule is that each team CANNOT consist of wrestlers all from one brand. So each team will be mixed of nWo and WoW stars.
There will be 2 stages to this match. Stage 1: When the match starts, each championship will be hung above each of the three rings. The object is to work together as a team and capture all three championships and have them all hanging above your "home" ring. Similar to capture the flag so to speak. Once a team has all three championships above their ring, the other two teams will be eliminated from the match.
This is where Stage 2 begins. With all three titles above one ring and a team of 4 wrestlers left. They must then compete against eachother for the championships. A wrestler may only claim one title if they get the chance. Once a title has been removed from above the ring, that wrestler becomes the champion of that particular title. He/She, must then leave the match with their championship. The match continues until all 3 titles have been claimed."
Hank - "What an impressive match up! The team captains will not only have to draft a strong team to make it to stage 2, but then must face those same team members for the titles."
Prez Darren - "Oh there's a little catch to all this. If let's say a WoW member like B-Pac here were to capture the International or Brutality titles...he will not only become that champion, but that championship will become WoW property!"
Hank - "Damn that Darren. With Ichabod gone, he's trying to take the nWo championships from under his nose."
Michael D - "And there's nothing Ichabod can do about it."
"My Way" plays again as Prez Darren drops the mic. Triple X and B-Pac stand on either side of him and the three of them raise eachothers arms in the air. This is just the begginning for Elite. They exit the ring and head to the back.
Hank - "Those were a ton of major announcements from Prez Darren. He's single handidly taken over this entire federation, WoW and nWo alike."
Michael D - "Let's just hope Ichabod will be able to make it back next week."
The show goes backstage as our cameras are on PKA,
Adam Payne and Ash who are arriving. They seem to be in some kind of a
dispute. PKA stops in front of Adam Payne and speaks.
PKA: Look! You will stay in the locker room, or
somewhere backstage! Do NOT come down to the ring with me. Do Not
show your face in my match. I don't need you to win. I will
become Number one contender all on my own.
Adam Payne: You just don't get it do you? Without
me, you are going to get killed out there! Quake is much bigger than you
are PKA! Are you insane?!
PKA: You know what? (PKA thinks for a second)
YES! You said earlier this week to me that I have been doing selfish
things lately and haven't been thinking about the Tag Team .. about
Aggravated Assault. Well that's a bunch of bulls(BLEEP)! You are
the one who's been the missing link in Aggravated Assault. You could've
stopped Quake from grabbing the Tag Team Title, you could've won the
Brutality Title at New Force Rising, but you didn't! So don't blame me
for making our team look bad and be unsuccessful.. blame
yourself!
PKA then turns around quickly and walks away as Ash
and Adam stand there looking at each other, and then towards PKA as he
walks away. Ash sighs, and Adam rolls his eyes.
Hank - "Things don't look good between Aggravated Assult. O.K. Kicking off tonight from the nWo is a brutality match featuring the currently undefeated Johnny Vain taking on Alana Jeffries and Tsunami!"
Michael D. - "This is going to be one hell of a match, Johnny Vain has been extremely impressive as of late!"
Alana and Tsunami are already in the ring, 'Saturday Night Special' blasts throughout the arena as Johnny Vain steps out on stage in his usual black jeans and trademarked t-shirt with his Johnny Vain logo on it. He curls his lip as he looks from one side of the arena to the other. He nods his head and rushes down to the ring as he slides in under the bottom rope and raises both arms into the air. He nods satisfyingly as his music fades out.
Johnny Vain targets Tsunami straight away and Alana Jeffries slides out of the ring, Vain beats Tsunami down in the corner before turning his attention to Alana Jeffries who is still outside the ring, he slides out of the ring and chases Alana.
Hank - "Johnny Vain in hot pursuit of Alana Jeffries!"
Michael D. - "Tsunami has already taken a beating, he could be out!"
Alana slides back into the ring and when Vain enters she immediately goes to work stomping him down, Tsunami gets to his feet and clotheslines Alana down, he pushes Johnny Vain out of the ring, picks Alana up and drills her to the mat with a dangerous DDT! Johnny Vain outside of the ring is seen looking under the ring apron!
Hank - "What is Johnny Vain looking for!?"
Johnny Vain pulls out his guitar, and taunts the crowd!
Michael D. - "Oh my! Vain's guitar!"
Tsunami see's Vain with his guitar and slides out of the ring, he gives a few rights then goes for a clothesline but Johnny Vain ducks and smashes the guitar over Tsunami's head, half of the guitar remains over his head as the crowd give a huge pop to Johnny Vain!
Hank - "OH MY GOD!!"
Michael D. - "What a shot!!"
Alana leaves the ring and runs around, she jumps onto the steps and flies at Johnny Vain, but Vain catches her, he looks towards the turnbuckle!
Hank - "No Dont!"
Michael D. - "Johnny Vain is gonna break Alana Jeffries on the turnbuckle!"
Johnny Vain runs at the post but Alana slides over the top and pushes Johnny Vain into the post, his head cracks against it and lays on the floor. Alana walks up the ramp and out of sight!
Hank - "Where is Alana Jeffries going?"
Johnny Vain begins to come around, he looks around, but see's nobody, the fans are pointing towards the back and Vain begins crawling up the ramp, he soon gets to his feet and staggers off, Tsunami is still out!
Michael D. - "Johnny Vain, for the second time tonight in hot pursuit of Alana Jeffries."
We go to a camera backstage and see Johnny Vain looking for Alana, he looks around as does the camera and we see many of the WoW and nWo stars and backstage staff, suddenly a door slams open and Johnny Vain rushes through it, he opens another door, and slowly walks through looking around, suddenly Alana cracks Vain across the back with a load of barbed wire, this rips into Johnny Vain's back and he instantly begins to bleed.
Hank - "Oh god! Alana is all about punishment tonight!"
She pulls out some wiring and wraps it around Johnny's neck she begins to strangle him, Vain is now screaming in pain until Tsunami burts through the door and tackles Alana off her feet with a spear and drives her onto the concrete floor.
Michael D. - "All three competitors down, whats going to happen!?"
Hank - "I think Alana has got this in the bag!"
Michael D. - "How can you say that, this is so close!"
Tsunami is back to his feet and and picks up Alana, he rams her back first into the hard wall, she urges out in pain and falls down the wall, Johnny Vain now back up squashes Tsunami against the wall and begins to beat away on him again, Alana back up now helps to talk out Tsunami.
Hank - "These two working together?"
Michael D. - "Cant you see? They are taking out Tsunami so they can get at each other again!"
They drag Tsunami to the production trucks, Alana climbs up, followed by Johnny, they begin to bait Tsunami who eventually, somehow climbs up the truck, when he is up they began to beat him down again, but Tsunami gets a second wind and takes them both down, he pummels both of them, he stands up and kicks Johnny Vain in the gut, then pulls him to his feet, he then throws Johnny Vain off the truck and to the ground! A Holy Shit chant starts all around the arena!
Hank - "Oh Crap!! Johnny Vain has just been thrown of the Production Truck!!"
Michael D. - "Oh GOD!! I hope he is OK! We need some medical attention backstage!!"
Tsunami staring down on the fallen Johnny Vain with a sick smile on his face, Alana back up looks down and is completely shocked, but without a second thought she attacks Tsunami and beats him down, she picks up him and slams him down on the truck.
As this is going on the medical attention arrives for Johnny Vain, they pick him up, but Vain pushes them away and staggers back towards the truck! He starts shouting at Tsunami.
Vain - "Tsunami, Boy, Im gonna stick my boot right up your ass! Tsunami! TSUNAMI!!
Tsunami pushes Alana away and looks towards Johnny, he stands up and pokes Alana in the eyes, he baits Johnny Vain, then jumps off the truck, but Johnny Vain moves and Tsunami lands face first on the ground.
Michael D. - "I think Tsunami needs the Medical Help now!"
Johnny Vain turns around then focuses back on Alana who also jumps off the truck, but again Johnny Vain catches her. He rams her into the wall and then drives her into the floor, the ref counts...1....2....3!
Hank - "That was one hell of a match!"
Michael D. - "Look at the destruction!"
The camera pans around to see all three participants laying out on the floor, with the medical staff around Tsunami, Johnny Vain is bleeding all over and the referee raises his arms, Alana is on the floor rubbing her back.
Michael D. - "We now have some live news from backstage!"
We open a shot backstage and we see "The Sensational One" Lawrence Jarvis
backstage preparing for his match, with his partner, Rob Hardy. The camera zooms in further.
Rob Hardy - "So Mr. Sensational, you think you can win in your debut tonight!?"
Lawrence - "Yeah man, no sweat, i'll be suprised if Rhuid even shows!"
Hank - "Well, im afraid "The Sensational One" may have a suprise, we know for a
fact Rhuid is here!"
Michael D. - "Yeah but will he show!?"
As Lawrence and Rob Hardy are talking Prez Darren and the Elite enters the shot. Jarvis and
Hardy both look up and stare at the President of the WoW! Prez Darren looks at Rob Hardy.
Prez Darren - "Excuse me , can you give us a few minutes!?"
Lawrence - "No! He can't, whatever you have to say, you can say in front of him!"
Rob Hardy - "No, it's ok, I will catch you later!"
Rob Hardy walks past The Elite. In passing, Triple X nudges shoulders with Hardy, bumping him. Hardy just stares at him and then leaves. Triple X chuckles along with B-Pac.
Lawrence - "What do you want!?"
Darren - "Just to welcome you to the WoW!"
Lawrence - "Yeah well thanks, anything else!?"
Darren - "Yeah, I have high hopes for you Jarvis. Maybe one day even you can become...Elite. You got Rhuid in a no DQ match tonight. I saw what he did to you last week. I've been trying to contact him since he attacked Prof. Zandor and he hasn't returned my calls. I want you to...take care of him for me. Don't let me down."
Prez Darren walks off past "The Sensational One" exiting the shot and
leaving Lawrence on his own thinking.
Hank - "That was an interesting situation. Is Elite looking to recruit?"
Michael D - "You never know with the Elite."
The arena lights dim as "King of My World" by Saliva hits. Tom King is the escorted to the ring by three beautiful women. Tom King is bald with a thin gotee and sideburns. he's wearing black leather pants, black boots, and white wrist tape. Tom climbs in the ring and holds the ropes open for the girls.
Hank - "We got newcomer Tom King here, and he's got a hell of a debut match. He's gotta take on Damien Brimstone!"
Just then, the lights go out. The arena is pitch black for a few moments. The lights come back up and standing right behind Tom King is Brimstone. The fans go nuts as Tom King turns around and recieves and uppercut. The girls run out of the ring as the bell sounds. Brimstone delivers a few other chops and backs King into the ropes. He irish whips him and is hit with a big clothesline from Brimstone. King goes down holding his jaw. Brimstone goes to pick him up and is caught with a low blow by King. Brimstone buckles over. Tom King gets him in a headlock and delivers a DDT. He goes for the cover....1....2....kickout by Brimstone.
Michael D - "It's going to take a lot more then that to put down Brimstone."
Tom King pulls up Brimstone and tosses him to the outside of the ring and follows. The ref starts to count. King goes to toss Brinstone into the steel post but is reversed. Tom hits the post hard. He leans against the post to help keep him up as he catches his breath. Brimstone rolls under the ropes to break the count and goes back out. Brimstone raises his hands in the air. His eyes begin to glow red.
Hank - "Uh oh! When Brimstone's eyes go like that, expect trouble. We've seen some strange things happen before."
All of a suddon, the ring post begins to glow red as if it is heating up! Tom Kings skin begins to burn. He screams and falls back to the ground holding his chest.
Michael D - "Did you see that??"
The girls attend to Tom King who is down. Brimstone approaches the girls and chase them off. Brimstones eyes begin to glow red again as he raises his hands at the girls.
Hank - "No Brimstone, not them!"
But then, nothing. Brimstone looks confused as he looks at his hands. His eyes return to normal. He looks as if something is terribly wrong. He turns to get a huge superkick to the chinby Tom King! Brimstone is layed out on the floor. Tom King rolls into the ring just as the ref reaches 10! The bell sounds and the ref raises Tom Kings arm as he wins by a countout.
Hank - "Tom King did it! He won his debut match against Brimstone. What an upset!"
Tom King still holds his burned chest as he rolls out of the ring. The girls come to his side as they head up the ramp. Brimstone comes to at ringside and realizes what has happened. He looks very disturbed and heads to the back.
Hank - "It's almost like his powers...failed. Something strange is going on here."
Back in the dressing room area, we catch up with Ralph Lillard standing outside of a huge suite overlooking the ring. A sign on the door reads "ELITE ONLY". Lillard takes a deep breath and knocks on the door. From the inside a voice calls out "Come on in, room service!". Lillard pushes the door open and there sits B-Pac, Triple X, and Prez Darren. They all stare up at Lillard causing Lillard even more discomfort.
Triple X: "You're not room service..."
Ralph Lillard: "Uhhh.. no, I'm sorry... would you uhh... would you like me to go and get you something?"
B-Pac: "Chill out, Ralphie. I don't want you crapping your pants in our room. Now, what is it that you were wanting?"
Ralph Lillard: "Well, you all had agreed to an interview earlier... and I'm here to interview you guys."
Prez Darren: "Oh... I remember that now. You can leave, though. Leave the cameraman because I'll be conducting this interview myself."
Ralph Lillard: "But I was..."
Prez Darren: "WHO SIGNS YOUR CHECKS? If you don't leave right now, Uncle Sam will because you'll get getting unemployment!"
Ralph Lillard scurries out of the room as X, Pac, and Darren all have a good laugh at him. Prez Darren clears his throat, puts on his best serious face, and tries to talk in his best reporter voice.
Prez Darren: "B-Pac and Triple X... how the hell are ya!?"
Triple X: "Well, we're pretty damn good to be honest with you. The WoW belongs to us and in just a few short weeks, I'll bring the WoW Title home to us once again."
B-Pac: "Absolutely right. Things can't get any better for us right now. Everything is falling into place and everything is looking to get even better."
Prez Darren: "So, what do you guys have planned for this evening? Here to enjoy the show or here on business?"
B-Pac: "Actually, Darren, we're here to do a little bit of both. We're scouting the competition, picking out the things we like, and most importantly... we're here to give someone an invitation to be Elite."
Triple X: "He never lies! It's true. We're here tonight to further our grip on the throat of WoW and nWo. We're here to make an addition."
Prez Darren: "Holy cow! Who is it? Jarvis may be a good addition. Who is the lucky WoW'er to get this magnificent opportunity!?"
B-Pac: "Oh... he's not in WoW... he's in nWo. We're moving forward with things and taking our dominance to them. I mean... noone in WoW seems to care enough to step in our way so why bother?"
Triple X: "In all fairness, even if WoW was to revolt against us, there's noone there that could actually stand a chance of stunting our growth or slowing down the process of dominance. If there was, you could just fire them, Darren."
Prez Darren: "You've got a point there, X! So what are the plans for this nWo guy that you are sending this invitation to?"
B-Pac: "Well, as you know, Elite is all about choices and free will. We're a very fair group of individuals. So we're only out there tonight to extend an offer for greatness to this lucky person."
Prez Darren: "Does this person know they are being recruited? What happens if they say no?"
Triple X: "Like B-Pac said... we're very fair. This person does not know that they are being recruited but we truly beleive that they will accept our offer. If they should, by some stretch of the imagination, turn us down... then that's that. We'll be on our way and wish them the best of luck with their career."
B-Pac: "We promise!"
Prez Darren laughs with them as he pushes the cameraman out of the room and slams the door in his face. The show returns to ringside.
Hank - "The Elite is going to branch out to an nWo member?? Who's it going to be??"
The lights dim in the arena as the slow, grim guitar opening for "Superman's Dead" by Our Lady Peace hits the PA. A few seconds later, the lyrics kick in.
"Do you worry that you're not liked? How long 'til you break? You're happy 'cause you smile, But how much can you fake?"
Smoke fills the entranceway as the two most important lines in the song come over the speakers.
"Ordinary boy, ordinary name, But ordinary's just not good enough today..."
With that, red pyro explodes around the stage area as "The Franchise" Neo steps through the smoke, a cocky grin present on his face. The fans cheer wildly as he runs down to the ring, slides in under the bottom ropes, and jumps to one of the top turnbuckles and raises his right arm in a pose for the fans. Franchise hops down and stands in the corner awaiting for his tag partner to make his entrance...
Hank - "Neo looks to be in excellent condition."
'Cocky' hits and Christian Wright walks through the arena curtains and makes his way down the ramp keeping his focus on Neo. He hops onto the ring apron, grabs hold of the rope and jumps into the ring and raises his arms to the cheers of the crowd.
Michael D - "Christian Wright has quite a past with Weltmeister and they're about to get it on one more time. Except this time, Weltmeister wants to end his career for good."
Every light in the arena dims but not to an absolute black. A light from the rafters above the ring shines down a heavenly effect. Crawling in the Dark then hits the PA system, when the lead kicks in two white pyros go off either side of the entrance ramp and as the vocal then kicks in the sturdy figure of The Enforcer emerges from the thick smoke given off by the pyros. He holds his arms out in a crucifix style with eyes closed. As the next chorus kicks in his eyes open and arms drop before he breaks into a run toward the ring and toward the heavenly light shining down on it.
Hank - "Enforcer and Weltmeister have had quite a week together. Can they maintain their composure to work together?"
The lights in the arena suddenly turn off as the fans sit in darkness for a few seconds. With a large bang, all four ring posts explode in sparks and a flashes. The theme from "Terminator" plays as the arena lights turn back on to a bright red as Weltmeister and his manager, Kurt Sharp, walk out from the back. Weltmeister is led to the ring by Kurt and steps over the top rope before climbing to the second rope and flexing his giagantic arms before the crowd and holding up the nWo Championship.
Hank - "This should be one hell of a tag team match."
Enforcer and Weltmeister both pass their belts to the official who takes it to the bell ringer as Franchise and Christian Wright stare each other down, both men still bitter after the triple Threat last week. Weltmeister stands to the ring apron as Enforcer stretches in the ring, Wright pushes Neo back into the turnbuckle and points to the apron as a pissed looking Neo moves to the outside.
"My Way" by Limp Bizkit begins to play as the arena dims green. The fans begin to boo as the Prez Darren of the WoW makes his way down the ramp and to the ring, and he's not alone. Triple X and B-Pac are at his side. The Elite are here. The three men step into the ring, B-Pac snatches the mic from the ring announcer and hands it to Darren. The music fades but the booing continues.
