[Cut to the ramp, where a wreath of pyro explodes around the EmpireTron and several bomblike, smoky explosions ripple about the entry way. The camera zooms in on the screen as the pyro finally peters out, then blurs to roving shots of the roaring crowd as a small banner in the corner briefly appears to proclaim that EPW is broadcast en Espanol.] [We cut to the broadcast booth where Dave Thomas, Mike Neely and Dean Matthews sit.]
DT: Well folks, it’s the time you’ve all been waiting for! Aggression is about to hit the air waves once again as we get set to bring you great EPW action here LIVE in Green Bay, Wisconsin!
DM: That’s right Dave. What a night we have in store for all the fans here. None other than Joey Melton will be in the main event as he takes on JA in what promises to be one hell of a match!
DT: We’ve also got the EPW Aggression debut of James Irish as he gets set to take on former number one contender, “Triple X” Sean Stevens!
DM: Not to mention that The Sensational One, Steven Shane makes his Aggression return as he gets set to take on the Intercontinental Champion, Karl Brown, in a non-title match-up!
DT: It is certainly going to be some night here on Aggression!
MN: And it certainly will be if you guys would actually shut up, and let someone else get a word in edgewise.
DT: Folks, I’m Dave Thomas alongside, as always, Mike Neely and Dean Matthews. We’re here to bring you all the great action, and it looks like we’re going to get started with that right now!
[CUE UP: "I Am the Bullgod" by Kid Rock.]
[Bring on the HEAT.]
DM: Well, we’re going to be starting the night off with some great tag team action here as this team, Priest and Eisenkruez gets set to take on a team that doesn’t have that much experience together, “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin and “Classy” Mike C.
MN: This is going to be an excellent match for Priest and Eisenkruez to walk away with, they are easily my picks to win this match.
[CUE UP: "Begging You" by The Stone Roses]
[Strobe lighting flashes at the top of the ramp. Classy Mike C steps out onto the stage and holds his arms out to his side, prompting the majority of fans to boo and jeer him. Mike C walks down the ramp and rolls under the bottom rope into the ring. Mike C stands in the centre of the ring and holds his arms out whilst staring out at the crowd, triggering fireworks to shoot up from behind him. After a few seconds, the fireworks stop and the music starts to fade as Mike C goes and stands in his corner.]
DT: What’s your take on Classy Mike C, Dean?
DM: Well, the guy is a renowned title holder from several different organizations. Whether or not that will mean anything in EPW, I’m not sure, but I can guarantee that he won’t go down without a fight.
[CUE UP: “Voodoo” by Godsmack.]
[Heat rains down from the rafters again.]
DM: Well, if it isn’t Mr. Ego himself.
MN: Mr. Ego? You mean Mr. Confidence?
DM: Whatever you want to say, Neels.
MN: There’s a very fine line between ego and confidence. It is very apparent that Adam Benjamin is full of confidence in his case.
DM: Riiiiight.
DT: Well guys, it looks like all our competitors are in the ring. We’ve got ourselves our first Empire Pro match of the night!
[DING DING DING]
DM: And it looks like Adam Benjamin and Priest will be the ones to start this off here. They make their way to the middle of the ring, and there’s a collar and elbow tie-up. Benjamin gets the advantage with his size as he pushes Priest back and into the ropes. There’s an Irish whip.
DT: But Priest ducks a clothesline! He hits the opposite ropes.
DM: Big flying forearm as Benjamin was not ready for that!
DT: Priest quickly makes his way back to Benjamin and grabs him by the arm. There’s an arm wrench. And again Priest takes it around! That torque could make Benjamin tap out, just as easily as a more complicated submission hold.
DM: And now he’s pulling that arm in behind Benjamin into a hammerlock. Look out!
DT: Big back suplex, right onto that folded arm of Benjamin’s! Priest quickly grabs him in an armbar as he reaches out and tags in the big guy!
MN: Eisenkreuz just entered the ring so quickly; I think he shifted it about two inches.
DT: He is a big man. And with that shoulder all contorted, I have to worry for Adam Benjamin here. Eisenkreuz bounces off the ropes while Priest still has a hold of that armbar.
DM: Big knee drop right onto that shoulder! He could have dislocated the former TV champ’s shoulder right there!
DT: But Eisenkreuz doesn’t care. Priest exits the ring and Eisenkreuz pulls Benjamin up to his feet here.
DM: Oh my! Would you look at that power?
DT: Eisenkreuz just gave Benjamin such an arm wrench that he flipped him over and back onto his back! And now he drops a leg over that arm! Benjamin is in a world of hurt here! Eisenkreuz reaches back out and tags Priest back into the match.
DM: Priest comes in quickly and bounces off the near ropes. Beautiful dropkick to the shoulder there by Priest!
DT: Priest isn’t going to let up the attack here. Looks like he’s going to go for a shoulder breaker here as he throws Benjamin up and onto that shoulder.
DM: But Benjamin slips out the back! Priest turns around, right into a kick to the midsection.
DT: DDT! Adam Benjamin is a last-ditch DDT there as he tries his best to get to the other corner and tag in his tag team partner.
DM: Benjamin is almost there. He reaches out…
DT: What the hell? Mike C just left the apron! What’s he doing?
MN: Looks like he’s getting a phone number, Thomas!
DT: Like there aren’t bigger fish to fry here tonight?
MN: Look, this wrestling match could go on for another 5, 10 minutes. Getting that phone number could give him something to do ALL NIGHT LONG.
DT: But his partner is looking for the tag-
DM: And now Priest pulls Benjamin back to the wrong side of the ring. There’s a tag to Eisenkreuz.
DT: The big man enters the ring with such force. He would be a very intimidating man to know that you were going to face. He pulls Benjamin up by the hair as he NAILS him with a knife-edge chop. And another! Benjamin is reeling into the ropes! There’s a whip!
DM: Big boot by Eisenkreuz and Benjamin hits the mat hard! Eisenkreuz going for the pin here!
1!
2!
Kickout by Benjamin!
DT: No problems for Eisenkreuz, as he reaches down and pulls Benjamin up again.
DM: But there’s a right hand by Benjamin! And another! Benjamin bounces off the near ropes.
DT: Good God! Another big boot sends Adam Benjamin right back to where he came from! Priest and Eisenkreuz are just dominating the former Television champ here, but that’s because he can’t even get a tag to his partner!
MN: The guy’s just locking up his interests for the rest of the night, Thomas!
DT: Yeah, the guy’s just abandoning his partner when he needs him most!
DM: Eisenkreuz reaches down and pulls Benjamin up again here. He throws him onto his shoulder.
DT: There’s that shoulder breaker they were looking for earlier! Benjamin slumps to the mat as Eisenkreuz reaches out and tags in Priest.
DM: Priest hits the ring and quickly pulls Benjamin up again. Benjamin tries to swing at Priest, but he ducks the blow and grabs Benjamin in a rear waistlock.
DT: Big German suplex with a bridge!
1!
2!
NO! Benjamin somehow managed to kick out there! I don’t know how he did it!
DM: And Priest doesn’t look very happy that he didn’t get the three there, as he gives the referee a piece of his mind.
[Massive heat.]
DT: And look at Priest playing to this crowd! He’s letting them know that he could really care less what they think, because he’s going to end this match right here.
DM: It looks like Priest is just going to wait for Adam Benjamin to get to his feet here. Benjamin begins to rise slowly. Priest charges…
DT: But Benjamin moves out of the way! Benjamin just missed getting nailed by that spear! Priest went all the way into the steel ring post with that shoulder!
DM: Priest stumbles out of the corner, holding that arm.
DT: Death Valley Driver! Benjamin somehow mustered the strength to lift Priest up onto his shoulders and send him crashing to the mat with that DVD! Benjamin makes a lunge to his corner.
DM: And he tags in Mike C, who wasn’t even paying attention! He had his back turned, still talking to his female friend and Benjamin caught him with the blind tag! Here comes Mike C.
DT: He makes his way over to Priest and picks him up. He whips him into the far ropes.
DM: Spinebuster! But here comes Eisenkreuz.
DT: There’s a right by Mike C! And another! He’s barely moving the big guy, but he’s got him reeling. Mike C hits the ropes.
DM: Bulldog! Down goes Eisenkreuz!
DT: Mike C turns back to Priest. Priest swings a right hand, but Mike C ducks it.
DM: Atomic drop! Priest is going to be feeling that one! Mike C isn’t done though!
DT: He makes his way back over to Priest and quickly catches him with a boot the midsection.
DM: Gutwrench suplex! Priest is down! And look at the look in Mike C’s eyes!
DT: Oh my!
MN: And look at the imprint on Mike C’s face of that HUGE boot of Eisenkreuz! Never take your eye off the ball, or the very large opponent on the opposite side of the ring!
DT: Well, Eisenkreuz just killed the momentum that Mike C had going there upon entering this match and it looks like things will slow down again.
DM: But there’s Adam Benjamin! From out of nowhere, he just nailed the big guy with a flying forearm! Eisenkreuz doesn’t go down, but he is certainly stunned!
DT: Benjamin nails Eisenkreuz right in the chest with several HARD knife-edge chops as he backs the big guy into the ropes! Benjamin steps back..¦
DM: And a clothesline! Both men go spilling out of the ring and to the floor, as we’re left back at square one with Priest and “Classy” Mike C!
DT: Both men are up, but both are wobbly! Priest swings a right hand at Mike C, but he ducks the blow. Mike C nails Priest with a right of his own. And now a double leg take down.
DM: The Classyleaf! Mike C just came out of nowhere and locked Priest right in that Texas Cloverleaf! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it applied that fast! Priest is stuck right in the middle of the ring!
MN: And Eisenkreuz is playing grab-ass on the floor with Benjamin!
DT: Priest reaches out -- but there’s the tap!
[DING DING DING]
TF: Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners.. “Yours Truly” Adam Benjamin and “Classy” Miiikkee C!
DM: What a great way to start out the night here on Aggression!
DT: Absolutely right, Dean. These guys didn’t seem all that coherent, but at least they got the job done.
MN: Which is all that matters, and I’m glad that I picked these guys to win here tonight. One and oh for Neels tonight.
DT: But didn’t you-
MN: Hush, Thomas. I must revel in this victory.
DT: Folks, we’ve got plenty more great action set to come later tonight, don’t go anywhere!
