[We hear the sound of a car transmission revving up as the introduction to Danko Jones' "Code of the Rode" begins to play. We see a camera shot of a yellow sports car in a rural desert setting speeding past the camera's view.]
I live by the code of the road
[Mike Logan with the World Championship around his waist gyrates his hips in front of a backdrop showing a first person view of a high speed drive down the road.]
Every single night of my life
[We see quick shots of past events, Victor Emmit diving off the top rope to the outside with the Mosh Pit on a group of individuals, Bellatrix Drake holding Mad Maddie up with a torture rack, Chazz Mendel leaping off the top rope with the Fated Circle.]
Nobody knows a single place I go
[Behind the travelling backdrop, Johnny Serious smirks at the camera.]
City by city, night after night
[We see Mr. Rich applying a leg lock inside a steel cage on Barrett Hawk, Cassie Charisma whirling in circles with the spinning leg scissors on Nox Bones, Johnny Vandal hitting Vandalism on Victor Emmit]
Been a long time on this lonely road yeah
[Josh Cantrell poses in front of the travelling backdrop holding his fist to the camera, with "HATE" spelled out on his knuckles.]
Nothing Comes Easy But It's Worth The Fight
[We see Devon Dice on the top rope holding his United States Championship in the air, and a clip of Notorious JON in the ring with a microphone busting out a high note.]
If you've seen it once, I've seen it twice before
[Muru stands in front of the travelling backdrop with his arms folded.]
Little By Little, Night After Night
[Muru hits a Muru Splash from the top rope on Jacob Baxter. We see a backstage staredown between Jen Diamond and Bellatrix Drake. J.J. Carter hits the Youth Movement on a local talent.]
You ve been waiting for this all of you life yeah
The time is now to go
[Evette dances on the hood of a car with a travelling backdrop behind it.]
No hesitation, no backing down now
[We see Mac Johnson walking down the aisle with John Pilchard proudly leading him, Cassie Charisma enthusiastically pointing to the audience as she makes her entrance, Mike Logan and Sabrina Swallows making out.]
So just take it away
[We see Johnny Serious hitting Got Serious'd on Mike Logan which shatters the screen and takes us to ringside. The camera pans around the the Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines, Iowa
as fireworks go off from the ceiling shooting towards the stage. The stage alights on both sides, then fireworks erupt from both sides of the cWo tron. The camera then focuses on the crowd, highlighting such signs as “Boy! I sure hope Mac Johnson shows up!” “cWo needs a Simple Champion” and “Face Turn - Turn 360 degrees and walk away” The camera then focuses on Joel Nelson, Peter Tiger and Robbie Hart seated at the announce position.]
Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to cWo Driven! It's October fifteenth and we're live in the Wells Fargo Center and all I can say is that a storm is coming!
Hart: More specifically, Eye of the Storm is coming!
Nelson: Yes, Eye of the Storm, a huge pay per view event that can only be brought to you by cWo. I'm Joel Nelson with Peter Tiger and Robbie Hart and I hope you guys are strapped in tonight.
Tiger: I'm strapped in and ready to go Joel and what a night we have in store for you all tonight.
[A graphic displays Muru versus Victor Emmit.]
Nelson: Fan favorite Muru will be in action tonight and in our main event.
Hart: That's right. Muru takes on Face Turn's Victor Emmit! Muru made a challenge against Face Turn for a six man tag match, but if, I mean when Victor Emmit kicks that safety hazard to the curb forget about it! No tag match for you!
Nelson: Yes if Muru fails to defeat the Face Turn co-founder and all around annoyance Victor Emmit, we might not even see Muru on pay per view!
Tiger: I think we should quit while we're ahead Joel, our boss is in the ring right now and he has something to say.
Nelson: Well let's take it to the ring then with Tony Awesome.
[We see Tony Awesome standing in the ring with a microphone looking somewhat upset.]
Awesome: Des Moines, Iowa. I apologize for taking up your time but before we get to any cWo in ring action tonight I have to take care of some very important business. As owner of the cWo I'm often faces with some very big decisions that have to be made. Some of them challenging, but some of them very rewarding. This week I was faced with one of those decisions, when this happened last week.
[Awesome refers to the big screen as footage from last week begins to play, starting with Johnny Serious delivering a kick to Mr. Rich and hitting his finishing reverse Russian leg sweep.]
Hart: No!
Nelson: Mr. Rich just Got Serious'd!
Hart: This is horrible!
[Johnny Serious doesn't give Rich time to think as he immediately picks him up and throws him out of the ring.]
Nelson: And he's out of there!
Hart: Wait look at Logan now!
[Fans are anxious as Logan has his hands on the previously used steel chair, as Serious turns around, Logan reaches back for the swing, but a recovered Barrett Hawk grabs it.]
Nelson: Wait!
[Hawk turns Logan around and hoists him up for the tombstone piledriver.]
Nelson: Tombstone! Yes!
[Hawk dumps Logan on his neck.]
Nelson: That's it!
Tiger: There's still no referee!
[Hawk makes the pinfall attempt, as Johnny Serious tries in vain to wake up Johnny Williams.]
Hart: We got two referees and they're both out of it!
[Johnny Serious becomes impatient as he goes down and starts the pin himself.]
ONE
TWO
THREE
[Fans erupt as Barrett Hawk rolls off of Mike Logan and lies down on the mat.]
Hart: WHAT!
Nelson: Barrett Hawk is our new World Champion!
[Serious calls for the bell, after a short pause the bell is rung.]
DING DING DING
Hart: What! Johnny Serious has no right! He's not a referee!
[Simple Man hits the PA system as Serious excitedly tries to get Hawk up off the mat.]
Nelson: The bell was rung, the music is playing, Barrett Hawk did it! He's the new World Champion!
Hart: This can't be right!
Nelson: Logan used every trick in the book and destiny was on Barrett Hawk's side!
[Serious rushes out of the ring and retrieves the World Title.]
Nelson: What a moment, what a Driven this has been!
Tiger: Josh Cantrell is back next week, Serious returned tonight, and we have a new World Heavyweight Champion!
Hart: I can't believe this!
[Sabrina Swallows is seen on the outside of the ring screaming in disapproval. In the ring, Serious sits Hawk up on his knees and hands him the Title. We return to Tony Awesome in the ring.]
Awesome: Having seen that. I'd like to call Barrett Hawk to the ring right now please.
Nelson: Well there's been speculation about this all week long...
[Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" hits the PA system.]
Hart: Tony Awesome is gonna make this right!
Nelson: Why don't you just wait and see what happens?
[As the intro passes, Hawk comes out with the World Title draped over his shoulder, wearing a cowboy hat and street clothes he comes down the aisle looking a bit uneasy.]
Hart: Here's what's gonna happen. Awesome's gonna do the right thing and strip Barrett Hawk of the Title!
Nelson: Well Tony Awesome said this is either a tough decision or a rewarding one, he didn't specify which category this falls into.
Hart: I'd file it under rewarding. To see the look on that Huckabilly's face when his World Title is taken away from him! It'll be great!
Nelson: Far be it to think we could have a Champion to be proud of right?
Hart: I'm proud of Mike Logan!
Nelson: Of course you are...
Hart: Sssh. Quiet!
[Hawk is in the ring as his music fades. Tony Awesome then continues with the task at hand. He shakes Hawk's hand.]
Awesome: Mr. Hawk while I'd love to stand here and congratulate you on your victory, I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than that. You see Johnny Serious, although he had good intentions, he is not and was not an authorized cWo official. He stepped out of his bounds to make that three count and it was not his call to end the match in that fashion.
[Fans begin to boo as Hawk looks as though he expected this, while not looking too pleased about it.]
Nelson: Well who else was gonna do it?
Awesome: So it's my unfortunate assignment tonight to strip you of that World Championship and return it to its original owner.
Hart: Haha! Yes!
Awesome: So if you would, please, I would like you to hand me that World Championship.
Hart: I knew Awesome would do the right thing!
Tiger: Gotta feel for Barrett Hawk on this one.
[Hawk looks down to the mat below him as he attempts to process what he just heard.]
Nelson: Barrett Hawk's world has just shattered around him. Last week was his finest hour, and now this week is a complete opposite.
Tiger: The rug's been pulled from under him Joel, and technically Tony Awesome is in the right here. But many cWo fans see it differently here tonight.
Nelson: Well Barrett Hawk had Mike Logan pinned for the three count no matter how you slice it.
Hart: Rules are rules Joel! You of all people know that!
[Hawk, out of his mind takes both hands and rubs his face from the top of the head down looking clearly frustrated as he then takes the Title from his shoulder, and looks deep into it as it rests in both his hands.]
Nelson: Looks like he's gonna do the "right" thing here. And I use that term loosely.
[Hawk hands over the belt. Suddenly, "The Stroke" by Billy Squire begins to play over the P.A. system as the fans boo mercilessly as Mike Logan comes to the ring with Sabrina Swallows in one arm and Mr. Rich walking to the opposite side of him alongside Evette as Mike Logan is smirking the whole way to the ring.]
Hart: Well look who's come to take back what's his!
Nelson: You know Mike Logan couldn't wait for this.
Hart: And not only that, but when was the last time we saw Evette!?
Tiger: The last time we saw Evette, was when Barrett Hawk drove her to the mat with a Tombstone Piledriver
Hart: Oh, don't remind me! I wonder how she's feeling?
Nelson: I don't think you'll hear a complaint from either of Mike Logan's entourage tonight.
[Mike Logan requests a microphone.]
Nelson: Mike Logan has some real sinister guardian angels watching down on him for him to still be World Champion after all this.
Hart: Oh save the superstition. Mike Logan is just that good!
[Logan is handed a microphone as his music fades out. He and his crew take a moment to take in the jeers from the audience. Mr. Rich, having taken the World Title away from Tony Awesome, places it on the shoulder of Logan and pats him on the back in support.]
Tiger: Listen to this crowd.
Hart: Quiet! Quiet!
[Mike Logan raises the microphone as he begins to speak.]
Logan: Thank you, Tony Awesome, for correcting the injustice that occured last week to the "Loga-Conda". And whether you fat, toothless bastards like it or not... I'm still YOUR World Heavyweight Champion! The same people that cheered when Barrett Hawk "won" the title are the same victims of four generations of in-breeding that think erections are how the Japanese choose their officials! And as for "Hop-Along Hay-Seed", why don't you go back to Bum-F**k, Oklahoma or wherever you came from and spare yourself the embarrassment! After all, you can't have your little bastard kids thinking their daddy's a failure, now can you?
Nelson: What an ass.
Hart: Hey! Watch it!
Logan: Aww, what's the matter? Is widdle Barrett about to cry. I'm sorry, don't cry... being able to pretend to be World Champion is probably the highest accolade you will ever achieve! I suggest when you go back to your trailer park that I give Hawk permission to lie and say you were actually World Champion, since none of them own a TV and think that the Internet is something you fish with, they'll actually be dumb enough to believe you!
Awesome: Alright Mike, shut up!
[Fans cheer as Logan and his crew take offense.]
Nelson: Couldn't have said it better myself.
Awesome: You can stop right there, because while you dodged a bullet last week...
[Awesome supportively puts his arm around a scorned Barrett Hawk.]
Awesome: I think Barrett Hawk here has a few rounds left in his holster.
[Logan looks on with interest as Awesome continues.]
Awesome: Because there's a Pay Per View coming up. Eye of the Storm. And as of right now, you don't have a Title match signed...
[Awesome steps away from Hawk as he continues.]
Awesome: But that's about to change. Because this thing between you and Hawk is gonna have a definitive ending. Listen to this. At Eye of the Storm Mike Logan, you will put your Title on the line once again, but this time it's two of three falls. The first person to score two victories will be declared World Champion. That means if you get yourself disqualified, it doesn't matter. If Barrett Hawk scores two victories, no matter what the decision, he will be declared the new World Champion!
[Logan looks scared as Hawk, while still looking sour, nods his head in approval.]
Nelson: I like the sounds of that.
Awesome: And just so we don't have a repeat of last week, how about you meet the special guest referee...
["Elevation" by U2 come on over the loud speaker as Johnny Serious makes his way out to the entrance ramp. He is carrying a microphone, wearing a pair of jeans and an all black tee shirt. The crowd is going wild.]
Serious: First off, I would like to SERIOUSLY apologize to Barrett Hawk. I got caught in the moment and with no ref available, I took it upon myself to declare Hawk the World Champion, and for that I am sorry. I should have known that two weasels like Mike Logan and Mr. Rich would make a stink about, even though they know who won that match last week. As for this sunday, I have know other plans, so I would be happy to wear the Black and White shirt ....
Mike Logan: This is a conspiracy! This is an out-rage! How dare you stack the odds against me like this!
[Mr. Rich then takes the microphone from Logan.]
Mr. Rich: Tony, as a business man like myself, I would only expect you to make the fair and right decision. No one can expect a low class man such as Johnny Serious to call this match right down the middle. He all ready has shown a verbal aggression towards the World Champion. Serious is a maniac on the loose looking for unjustified revenge because he couldn't retain the World Title. This is a recipe for disaster, and in my honest oppinion Tony, I would be a far more logical candidate as the Special Referee.
Hart: He's right you know!
[Awesome looks as though he's taking Mr. Rich's words with a grain of salt, yet mulls over what he said all the same.]
Awesome: Tell you what, and this is the final word. Also at Eye of the Storm, Mr. Rich...you will be taking on Johnny Serious.
Hart: What!
Awesome: And the winner of that, will go on to referee Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk in the main event!
Tiger: Nice!
Hart: That's no way to do business! Serious already had his shot as referee and he screwed it up for everyone!
[Barrett Hawk nods his head in approval quickly as he then turns and walks away avoiding eye contact with anyone, still looking bitter over the Title loss. Meanwhile Mike Logan and Mr. Rich argue with Tony Awesome off the mic.]
Nelson: Well this time it's official, Barrett Hawk and Mike Logan obviously require a tough referee, and what better way to determine a referee than that!
Hart: I can't believe this!...

[We return to action as cameras zoom across the cWo fans.]
Nelson: We're back folks and off the heels of a huge announcement! Before the break, Tony Awesome had the unfortunate responsibility of stripping Barrett Hawk of the World Championship as a result of Johnny Serious making last week's three count out of place, but the chapter on the story between Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk didn't end there.
Tiger: Not only are we gonna see Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk in a two out of three falls match, look at this.
[We go back to before the break, with Tony Awesome making the final announcement.]
Awesome: Tell you what, and this is the final word. Also at Eye of the Storm, Mr. Rich...you will be taking on Johnny Serious.
Hart: What!
Awesome: And the winner of that, will go on to referee Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk in the main event!
Tiger: Nice!
Hart: That's no way to do business! Serious already had his shot as referee and he screwed it up for everyone!
[We return to the announce booth.]
Hart: Mr. Rich is clearly the more suitable referee! Are we just gonna have referees fight each other for work every week now?
Nelson: If the referees are guys like Mr. Rich and Johnny Serious I wouldn't mind seeing that. But we're just getting started tonight folks, because with Eye of the Storm coming up in three days, we're gonna take a special look at Eye of the Storm from last year.
Tiger: It's hard to believe that a year ago Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk were just getting to know each other. This is the first pay per view meeting of Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk, and how appropriate that one year later they're still going at it, and this time for the World Heavyweight Championship?
Nelson: Let's take a look...
[The footage begins starting from the ring of the bell.]
DING DING DING
Hart: And now the match has officially started!
Wilden: Hawk pulls Logan to a vertical base and is firing snap jab after snap jab to Mike Logan’s jaw and look at Logan trying to beg his way out of this! He brought all this on himself!
Hart: I don’t think Barrett’s going to be too willing to show the guy any mercy here because he’s Mr. Personality in that ring.
Wilden: And now Hawk hits a stiff European Uppercut followed by another one... and another one before shoving Logan into the ropes. He’s now delivering some stiff knife-edged chops to Logan who’s taking evasive action and rolling out of the ring like the coward he is.
Hart: He just went to seek solace in his lady-friends, and look! They’re blowing on his chest and kissing it to try and soothe away the pain of those chops!
Wilden: Oh, give me a break! Hawk approaching Logan from behind but gets met with a Polish Hammer right to Barrett Hawk’s face! Now Logan’s standing over him and gyrating his hips as these fans are letting him have it and he proceeds to pummel away on Barrett Hawk’s face as the referee starts his mandatory ten-count.
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
FIVE
SIX
Hart: Man, Mike Logan is one smooth operator! I wish I could be like him. Now if only I can get him to return my calls on advice for what to do with Mary-Joe...
Wilden: You’re actually calling him for advice???
Hart: Yeah, why?
Wilden: Nevermind. Mike Logan now tosses Barrett Hawk back in the ring and picks up for a Front Suplex, sending Hawk crashing down face first! Logan now taking his opportunity to deliver stomps all over Barrett Hawk’s body for what he calls “The Logan Stomp”. Now Logan kneels behind him and applies a Reverse Chin Lock right on to Barrett Hawk!
Hart: Look at that, Mike Logan is working him over like a true tactitian.
Wilden: These fans though are starting to rally behind the “Simple Man” as he’s slowly trying to fight out of it. He finally slips out of the hold and pushes Mike Logan away. Logan charging at Hawk with a running forearm attempt but gets met with a spear followed by more punches from the “Simple Man”!
Hart: Come on, Mike, snap out of it! Don’t let him do this to you!
Wilden: Hawk now sizes him up and hits a beautiful Butterfly Suplex and goes for the first pin attempt of the evening...
ONE
TWO
Hart: Ha ha! Mike Logan is still alive in this thing!
Wilden: That may be the case but Barrett Hawk is putting a hurting on the “Canadian Gigolo” right now. Hawk sizing Logan up and hits him with a High Leg Lariat! He’s now on the second rope, measuring up Mike Logan and he hits that Thesz Press off the second rope and is STILL firing stiff punches at Mike Logan!
Hart: How can he mess up those GQ-style good looks of Mike Logan and live with himself?
Wilden: How does Mike Logan even live with himself? Hawk going back up top and he’s going for the Country Bump, but he caught nothing but the canvas!
Hart: And just like that, Mike Logan is back in the saddle again!
Wilden: Logan waits for Hawk to get up and catches him with a Reverse DDT as he goes for the pin.
ONE
TWO
Hart: How is Barrett Hawk still going after that?
Wilden: Logan now stands up and hits one legdrop, followed by another, and he stops to posture a bit by gyrating his hips before stomping on Hawk and hitting the third legdrop! Logan now has a Sleeper hold locked in on Hawk, but Barrett’s fighting back and hits him with a Backdrop Driver!
Hart: I can’t believe Barrett Hawk keeps fighting back time after time here!
Wilden: Hawk now with an STF locked in tightly as Mike Logan is trying to fight his way to the ropes and does! Barrett goes to pick him up, but is met with a small package and a hand-full of tights!
ONE
TWO
Hart: Barrett Hawk kicks out once again! How does this guy manage to keep fighting like he does?
Wilden: Desire and revenge can drive a man to do a lot of things, Robbie. Hawk tries to go for a DDT, but is countered with a Northern Lights Suplex by Logan! Now Logan has him up for a scoop slam in the middle of the ring and then does an Irish Whip followed by an Elbow Strike in the corner! He now shoves Hawk back in the corner and props his feet on the top rope in a DDT position and drops him with “The Sex-Drive”! That might be all she wrote!
[Cameras catch a watery eyed Charlene, as it reverts back to the match at hand.]
ONE
TWO
Hart: NO WAY!
[Charlene and her kids, as well as the fans cheer as the match continues.]
Wilden: Hawk kicks out! Hawk kicks out! And Mike Logan has got to be wondering what in the world is it going to take to even put away Barrett Hawk? He’s now climbing the top rope and goes for the Elbow Drop, but he misses it! Now’s your chance, Barrett!
Hart: Come on Mike, get up!
Wilden: Hawk connects with a Snap Powerbomb and now he runs to the apron and hits Logan with a Flipping Senton from the apron to the ring! Now Hawk picks him up with Logan’s head between his legs and... DAMN IT! GOD DAMN IT, WHAT A BLATANT LOW BLOW IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE! DAMN THAT MIKE LOGAN!
DING DING DING
Wilden: THIS IS AN INJUSTICE! Mike Logan was going to finally get what he had coming to him but that smug little prick found a way to weasel out of it!
Hart: Lance, Mike Logan merely wanted to live to fight another day...
Wilden: I don’t want to hear it right now!
Mic Benson: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... The winner of the match as a result of a disqualification... Barrett... Hawk!!!
Hart: Look at that smile on Mike Logan’s face as he starts to walk away and... it looks like he’s not done!
Wilden: Please tell me that he’s not gonna mack on our female fans at ringside!
Hart: Well, he’s got a microphone, let’s hear what he has to say.
Logan: Hey, “Hop-Along”! Nice to see you brought Charlene and your kids here to see what a real man looks like!
Wilden: Can we please cut the audio on him?
[Mike then strolls over casually to Charlene and the kids as Barrett is trying to catch his breath from that low-blow. His eyes begin to tear as he reaches his arm out to Charlene, Charlene reaches out to Barrett but Logan stands in the way, keeping her from even seeing Hawk.]
Logan: Well, now that my low-blow is gonna keep you from having kids with this fine piece of work for the time being, how about I sample her right now with a little victory kiss?
[Mike Logan closes in to Charlene as Charlene tries pulling away, but Logan grabs a head of hair. Then he forces himself on her and forcefully kisses her as she tries to get away and the kids look absolutely traumatized, while Barrett crawls after him screaming loudly in protest, we hear a crack in his voice as it sounds as if he’s about to cry at the sight. Mike finally stops kissing her as Charlene slaps Mike in the face, when security gets in between her and Logan. Charlene clutches the kids as Logan laughs.]
Logan: Mmmm, feisty! I like that! It may look like Charlene doesn’t want me right now, but she’ll be at my hotel room with her clothes off, doing the horizontal hustle with me after the show, I guarantee it! See you later, Hay-seed!
[The fans mercilessly boo even louder than before as Logan smirks at them, mockingly cupping his hands to his ears soaking in their disapproval, as he laughs all the way backstage. And the camera cuts to Barrett Hawk, who limps his way to Charlene, who’s crying and keeping her head down. Hawk catches up with her and gives her a big hug as she cries on his shoulder, Barrett looks on down the ramp irate.]
Wilden: What a heartless son-of-a-bitch! Mike Logan has stooped to new lows tonight. To force himself on a woman like that, is borderline criminal!
Hart: She was clearly asking for it! She seemed to enjoy that kiss to me...
Wilden: Are you kidding? Fans, what Mike Logan did tonight was just absolutely unforgivable.
[Barrett helps his kids and Charlene over the guard rail as he keeps his arm around Charlene’s shoulders, holding the hand of one of his kids while Charlene holds the hand of the other, they walk up the ramp as Barrett looks completely beside himself.]
Wilden: Some kind of line has to be drawn. For every step forward cWo takes we take two steps back, this was uncalled for.
Hart: She didn’t have to come to ringside!
Wilden: She shouldn’t have to be afraid to see the person she loves.
Hart: Well at least right now she ought to be.
Wilden: That’s despicable...
[A man in a pinstriped gray suits sits at a leather booth in a posh resturant with his back to the camera. The black hair on his head is gelled staight back, a rolex visible on the right wrist of the arm that holds a large white, almost brick sized mobile phone to his ear.]
Man: So I said to him, "Stevens, how are you gonna be vice president of sales with a backhand like that?"
[He's interrupted by a young watiress with a name tag reading "Cindy," who walks to his table.]
Cindy: All done?
[He ignores her, continuing his conversation.]
Man: I've gotta go, see you at the club later? Alright. Chow, baby.
[He lowers the phone from his ear.]
Man: You know what that was? That was a phone call! This is a PORTABLE PHONE!
Cindy: Oh, I'm sorry sir. We just need this table. How will you be paying this evening?
[The man reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a gold credit card. He slams it down on the table, revealing an insignia of a Pyramid under the All Seeing Eye,]
Man: I'm sure even a dump like this place takes Gold Cards, right?
Cindy: Yes, Sir.
Man: Good. This one's on the company.
Cindy: Alright. And will "the company" also be covering the tip? Shall I put it on the card?
Man: Tip? TIP?
[He begins to laugh. Then his voice becomes almost a hiss through his teeth.]
Man: Here's a tip for you, "Cindy," GET A REAL JOB!
[The man stands up, his back still to the camera, and pushes past the stunned waitress. The camera zooms into the logo on the cold card, then fades out.]

[We now head backstage to find Mad Maddie, smoking a cigarette in the truck bay. Jason Duran approaches her, as she takes another drag.]
Maddie: What the (beep) do you want gay boy?
[Duran just stops and rolls his eyes for a minute.]
Duran: Last week you got called out by Jen Diamond after your bare knuckle boxing match, and got challenged for Eye of the Storm.
Maddie: I'll be there, don't you worry about a thing. About the only thing I have to worry about with Jen is: I'm not a lesbian. Considering how all she does is roll around on the mat and get tangled up with everyone else, she'll probably try to scissor me in the ring or something. Sorry Jenny, but you aren't what I want.
Duran: Diamond also says that for the last few months, you have been making a mockery of the women's division. How do you plan on responding to that allegation?
Maddie: Well, I am a fighter. Plain and simple, that is my style. I beat bitches senseless. I know Jen Diamond is a hater, so let's see what she's got. I'm sorry I'm not miss roll around and snap someone's ankle off in four places. But who is the better woman - we're about to find out now aren't we? I can take her 24 times out of 25, that I am sure about.
Duran: Alright then. Thanks Maddie, and now back to you guys at ringside...
Hart: Let's hope the FCC were in the bathroom during that one, wow!
Nelson: Eye of the Storm it's Mad Maddie taking on Jen Diamond, both former Women's Champions and us here at the booth still can't make heads or tails of who will be the victor this Sunday.
["Hysteria" by Muse hits and Johnny Vandal walks out, pleased with himself. His pyrotechnics are nowhere to be seen, but he makes his way to the ring happily.]
Nelson: Johnny Vandal has not wrestled for weeks, so to brush off some of the rust he might have accrued could be a good thing tonight.
Hart: He's rust proof.
Tiger: Yeah, well Vandal is also continually going against policy and that has got to be costing him quite a bit.
[Vandal slides into the ring and is handed a microphone.]
Vandal: Wow. What a crowd.
[The crowd boos. Vandal smiles regardless.]
Vandal: You know... I thought I'd take a page out of Carter's book, and do something different for a change.
Nelson: Wonder what this is? Actually follow the rules? Not injure someone?
Hart: You're blowing it all out of proportion.
Vandal: Without further ado, let me introduce my opponent. He's a nobody with no chance at a future in wrestling, or in anything of real importance. It's garbage time here at cWo, as I introduce... Scott Fletcher.
Tiger: What the hell?
Nelson: Scott Fletcher is the young up and comer from a couple weeks back who JJ Carter introduced with class a dignity.
Hart: Well it looks like all of that is gone.
Nelson: What a cheap move by Vandal to rip on this kid and mock JJ Carter's hospitality and respect like that.
[Scott Fletcher walks out, visibly upset and begins heading towards the ring.]
Vandal: Uh oh, we have got a burner here! Careful Fletcher. If you get in this ring, YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ON YOUR OWN!
[Fletcher storms the ring and the bell rings.]
Tiger: We have a match!
[Fletcher locks up with Vandal and throws Vandal against the ropes. Vandal shoots back and spears Fletcher to the ground.]
Nelson: Nice counter move by Vandal, he sure his quick.
[Vandal pops up and kicks at Fletcher who comes to his feet. Vandal locks up again and gets Fletcher into a corner. He reels back and slaps the wind out of Fletcher.]
Hart: I heard that from here!
[Vandal reels back and delivers another cross chop across the chest.]
[Vandal goes for a third, but Fletcher grabs Vandal's arm and puts him into an arm bar. Vandal winces and tries to push off, but Fletcher wraps his arms around Vandal and slings him over him.]
Nelson: A wonderful suplex there, that was some nice improvisation by the youngster there!
Tiger: Looks like he's trying to capitalize.
[Fletcher approaches and leg drops onto Vandal. He brings Vandal to his feet and he begins throwing punches at Vandal, but Vandal ducks one and dropkicks Fletcher to the mat.]
Hart: This kid just doesn't have what it takes.
[Vandal stands and laughs, taunting Fletcher who is slow to get up. Vandal yells at him as he turns. Fletcher spins and runs at Vandal who spins with a nice leg kick to the head.]
Nelson: Holy cow! What a kick there! Fletcher is down there and not moving.
Tiger: Vandal is known for his legs delivering alot of damage, and Scott Fletcher found out the hard way how lethal he can be.
[Vandal reaches in his pants and pulls out brass knuckles, much to the dismay of the crowd.]
Hart: This is what I'm talking about!
Nelson: How can you?! Vandal has lost all class he might have had.
[The ref fights with Vandal and Vandal pushes him down hard, the ref rolling out of the ring. The bell rings in disqualification. Vandal smirks at Fletcher who is coming to.]
Tiger: Johnny Vandal is going to use brass knuckles on a helpless young man who has alot going for him in the future... This just isn't right.
[A loud pop is heard from the crowd and suddenly behind Johnny Vandal stands JJ Carter. Vandal is unaware and Carter turns him around. Before anything can be done, JJ Carter lands his finisher.]
Nelson: YOUTH MOVEMENT ON JOHNNY VANDAL!
Tiger: Where did he come from?!!?
Hart: Oh of course, Scott Fletcher would need help from a third party.
Nelson: Robbie, the match was clearly over and Vandal had bad intentions, but the man who introduced Scott Fletcher the RIGHT way and wrestled him fair and square weeks back, has potentially saved his career as well.
[Scott Fletcher stands and looks at Vandal on the mat and pins him. The crowd chants.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Cheers ring out as Fletcher stands with JJ Carter who raises his hand in victory.]
Nelson: You gotta feel good for him tonight, but I guarantee that JJ Carter has not heard the last of Johnny Vandal.
[JJ Carter is handed a mic and looks down at Vandal.]
Carter: You were right Vandal when you said he wouldn't leave on his own. How about that?
[The crowd cheers as Carter raises Fletcher's hand again in victory.]
Tiger: He makes a good point.
[Johnny Serious is standing around backstage with four cWo Referees, Hector Garcia, Johnny Williams, Sean Easton and Jeffery Miles talking.]
Serious: Ok, so what is the proper way to do the 3 count.
Johnny Williams: Are You SERIOUS?
Serious: Listen guys, you do an awesome job, and I want to make sure that I am up to the standards of the outstanding perfomance that you guys do out there. I may be reffing a 2/3 falls match, which means that I am going to have at least two shots to to perform the count, and I want to make sure that I am able to keep all of that intensity and drama that you four do out there.
Sean Easton: Just don't think about it the people watching...when you are concerned about who may be watching, you lose focus.
Serious: And how do you guys slide in the ring without messing up your knees.
Hector Garcia: The more important question you should be asking us is how we are able to put aside bad feelings towards people to call a match right down the middle. Because Sunday Night, if you are the ref, you are going to be in the ring with a man you despise, and your moral integrity may be at question. And my question is....what do you do?
Serious: Well men, looks like we have some training to do! Let's get SERIOUS!!!!!!
[Serious and the refs walk into the referee lounge and close the door.]

Not Backing Down
[The scene is backstage where we see Tiffany Tolberg standing with Cassie Charisma, who has her hands on her hips as she looks very determined before Tiffany starts to speak.]
Tolberg: I'm here with Cassie Charisma to get her thoughts on the up-coming triple threat match for the Women's title at "Eye Of The Storm". Cassie, what do you think of Bellatrix and Nox Bones?
Charisma: Well, Tiffany, to be honest... I know I got the deck really stacked against me. Trixie's a she-beast in that ring and Nox Bones seems to have something against me just because I'm prettier than her or something like that. But you know what? I ain't scared of Trixie. And I sure ain't scared of Nox Bones. Sure, they could probably break an arm or a leg or even knock some of my teeth out, but I've come too far to not back down to those two and after "Eye Of The Storm", I WILL be the new cWo Women's champion! And you can take that to the bank!
[Cassie walks away as we go back to ring-side.]
Nelson: Well Cassie Charisma making it clear that she's not intimidated going into this big time triple threat match at Eye of the Storm, but I don't think Nox Bones or Bellatrix Drake will be either.
Hart: I talked to Bellatrix Drake earlier today and she said she was terrified!
Nelson: Really. Bellatrix Drake said that?
Hart: At least that's what I think she said. I also think she came on to me.
Nelson: I think you need to listen closer next time.
DING DING DING
Dixon: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall… introducing first… from Spartanburg, South Carolina… weighing in at 216 pounds… he is “The Cult Of Personality” Caleb Knox!!!
[The lights go out as smoke and a strobe light effect goes off as "Hero" by Skillet begins to play over the P.A. system. As the music kicks into full gear, we see "The Cult Of Personality" Caleb Knox emerge from the smoke-filled entrance way wearing a black and lime-green leather Civil War style jacket with black and lime green wrestling trunks, black knee-pads and black on lime green wrestling kick-pads over black wrestling shoes and designer sunglasses to a loud ovation from the fans, with the loudest noise coming from the young female fans. He looks out at the crowd and motions for them to get louder as he walks with confidence to the ring, tagging hands with all the fans he can get to before running to the ring steps and running up them to the top step. He then pauses and tosses his sunglasses to a lucky teenage girl in the crowd before he points out to the crowd and jumps over the top rope, setting foot in the ring. He then climbs the top rope banging his head back and forth before pumping both fists in the air in a salute to his fans. He then jumps off the top rope and runs the ropes for a moment. He finally removes his leather jacket to a loud cheer from the teenage girls in the audience as the music dies down.]
Donna Dixon: And his opponent… from Ames, Iowa… weighing in at 202 pounds… Josh Corbin!
[We see his opponent with short brown hair wearing generic short red trunks with gold lettering and gold tassels on black wrestling boots as he stretches up against the ropes, waiting for Referee Hector Garcia to ring the bell.]
Nelson: Well, after the past few weeks of interrupting Mac Johnson promos, we finally see the very brash, yet charismatic Caleb Knox make his debut in a cWo ring!
Tiger: I’ve heard a lot about this kid’s talent level on the indy circuit and I think our cWo fans are going to be in for a real treat tonight.
Hart: The kid may be flashy, but he’s not got much in the way of brains because he’s been picking on a guy who could probably rip him in half!
[The bell rings as both competitors circle each other. They lock up with Caleb doing a side headlock takedown. Corbin counters by getting to his feet with a back suplex attempt, but Knox lands on his feet. Both men then exchange arm-drags as Knox kips up as the fans show their appreciation early on for the show of competitiveness and technical wrestling.]
Nelson: Wow, didn’t expect Knox to come out with a more technical attack, but now both men are at a stand-still.
[Caleb nods his head at Corbin, who nods back in a show of respect as the two bump fists before pacing one another again. This time, Knox drops down with a drop-toe hold and quickly whips against the ropes going for his version of the Glimmering Warlock called “Opportunity Knox”, but Corbin telegraphs it by ducking. Knox lands on his feet, but catches Corbin with a Dropsault, sending his opponent to the outside. Knox then runs against the ropes and jumps from the second rope inside the ring to the outside in an Asai Moonsault to the arena floor as the fans are impressed with this show of aerial ability.]
Tiger: Knox sure is showing why he is so highly touted as a future star in our business! He took a huge risk there and it paid off big-time!
[Knox then tags hands with a few fans at ringside as the teenage girls in the audience squeal with delight. Caleb flashes a smile back at the fans and blows them a kiss as he drags Corbin back in the ring. As Corbin struggles to his feet, Caleb spring-boards off the ropes and hits a Spinning Heel Kick in mid-air to Corbin, knocking him in La-La Land.]
Hart: This kid may want to stop goofing around and just go ahead and beat this Corbin kid!
Nelson: Boy, when Caleb Knox said he brought something different to the table, he sure wasn’t kidding! I’ve never seen a high-flyer of this magnitude since Chazz Mendel.
[Knox then picks up Corbin and hits a Spinning Flatliner. He then kips up immediately and runs against the ropes as Corbin is sitting up and he hits the Glimmering Warlock variation he calls “Opportunity Knox”. At this point, he points to the fans and motions for them to make some noise as he springboards 180 degrees from the apron to the top rope, spins another 180 degrees in the air, hooks Corbin in a Tornado DDT, spins another 180 degrees and hits the DDT. He then gets up and drags Corbin to the center of the ring as he points to the sky and climbs the top rope, going into a picture-perfect moonsault-legdrop that he hits as he hooks the leg for the pin.]
Tiger: WOW! That’s the “Teeny-Bopper”! And that has to be the most amazing move I’ve EVER seen in a wrestling ring! This should be it…
ONE
TWO
THREE
Dixon: Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner of the match… “The Cult Of Personality”… Caleb Knox!!!
Hart: That kid got lucky tonight… but if Mac Johnson ever gets his hands on him, the kid may want to get used to life as a vegetable!
Nelson: Oh well don't look now folks.
[Caleb Knox's attention is brought to the entrance way, as fans boo the arrival of John Pilchard and Mac Johnson.]
Hart: Caleb had to expect this!
[Caleb Knox's music fades out as Pilchard and Mac stroll down the aisle. With a microphone in hand, Pilchard begins to speak.]
Pilchard: Sorry to cut your celebration short Caleb Knox but it's become apparent that you seem to have a problem with myself and Mac Johnson, a problem that we need to sort out right now...
[John Pilchard and Mac Johnson approach the ring.]
Hart: It's time for Caleb Knox to own up to his past interruptions!
Nelson: I just hope they plan to settle this rationally.
Hart: Haha! If Knox is lucky!
[Pilchard is in the ring as he continues.]
Pilchard: Listen, Caleb. You seem like a talented young man, with a lot of talent. But nobody is perfect, for all of your talent, I think I speak for this entire arena when I say, you're not all that smart.
[Caleb takes Pilchard's words with a smile as fans continue to boo Pilchard.]
Pilchard: No, you're not that smart. And I know because if you had any brains you'd have gone about the last two weeks drastically differently. If you had any brains, you'd have just quietly signed that cWo contract and made a humble living, just taking what you can. But instead, you provoked the biggest animal in the jungle. And now you made him angry. And when Mac Johnson gets angry, careers get shortened. I have a list of names and numbers, that if you want first hand information on what Mac Johnson can do to a man you can call on them and ask. Do you want ASM's phone number? Do you wanna ask him what it's like to be in Mac Johnson's crosshairs? Well? Do you?
Nelson: Alright...
Pilchard: Because of Mac Johnson, ASM is afraid to come back to work. And you wanna provoke this man?
[Knox pulls Pilchard's hand towards him so as to speak in the mic.]
Knox: Even if I got Hulk-Smashed into the locker room by "Big Mac", I'd rather fight him than hear you talk anymore!
Nelson: Amen!
[Fans cheer as Pilchard looks a little put off by Caleb's retort. Sarcastically he lets out a midl chuckle as he responds.]
Pilchard: Alright Caleb Knox...I was just trying to be nice. I was trying to give you the courtesy of a warning because I know what you're trying to do. You want to be a star, I get it. You wanna make a name for yourself by getting a rise out of me and the hottest prospect in the cWo today, but here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna give you one chance to apologize. Apologize for interrupting us, and apologize for attacking Mac Johnson last week. And maybe, just maybe I won't unleash the Mac Machine on you right now.
Nelson: You gotta be kidding me.
Hart: I'd apologize right now if I were Caleb Knox!
Nelson: Who is he, Don Corleone now?
Hart: Even better than that, he's John Pilchard! And he doesn't wanna refuse this offer!
[After mulling it over, Caleb again speaks into Pilchard's mic.]
Knox: I'll give you an answer, but first... I want YOU to answer a question for ME... Boxers or Briefs???
Hart: What?
[Puzzled, Pilchard looks at Caleb Knox with a look of frustrated wonderment...after a moment of silence, Caleb pulls Pilchard's pants down, revealing his boxers, and shoves Pilchard backwards, causing him to trip and fall on his backside.]
Hart: Is he out of his mind!?
[Fans cheer and laugh as Mac Johnson furiously charges Caleb, who dashes out of the ring and escapes up the entrance ramp.]
Nelson: Well I guess that answers that question!
Hart: Who does Caleb Knox think he is?
[Pilchard, embarassed, rushes up to his feet, but then trips and falls on his hands and knees.]
Hart: Ah!
Nelson: He asked a question and got his answer, and thankfully Pilchard is wearing boxers tonight!
Hart: You can't treat John Pilchard like that!
[Mac Johnson helps an embarassed Pilchard to his feet, as Pilchard quickly pulls his pants up. "Hero" by Skillet then plays as Caleb backs up the ramp, admiring his work with a smile.]
Tiger: And Pilchard's face is beet red! Have we ever seen Pilchard this embarassed?
Nelson: I don't think so. Caleb Knox, for better or for worse is picking a fight with John Pilchard and Mac Johnson and so far he's been calling all the shots!
Hart: He doesn't know what he just got himself into!...

Nelson: And we're back, ladies and gentlemen, and we have to take another look at what happened before the break.
Hart: It's not funny anymore!
Tiger: John Pilchard came to the ring following the impressive debut of Caleb Knox, demanding an apology for his recent behavior, when this happened...
[We return to footage of before the break, as Pilchard snidely talks down to Caleb Knox with Mac Johnson at his side.]
Pilchard: I'm gonna give you one chance to apologize. Apologize for interrupting us, and apologize for attacking Mac Johnson last week. And maybe, just maybe I won't unleash the Mac Machine on you right now.
Nelson: You gotta be kidding me.
Hart: I'd apologize right now if I were Caleb Knox!
Nelson: Who is he, Don Corleone now?
Hart: Even better than that, he's John Pilchard! And he doesn't wanna refuse this offer!
[After mulling it over, Caleb again speaks into Pilchard's mic.]
Knox: I'll give you an answer, but first... I want YOU to answer a question for ME... Boxers or Briefs???
Hart: What?
[Puzzled, Pilchard looks at Caleb Knox with a look of frustrated wonderment...after a moment of silence, Caleb pulls Pilchard's pants down, revealing his boxers, and shoves Pilchard backwards, causing him to trip and fall on his backside.]
Hart: Is he out of his mind!?
[Fans cheer and laugh as Mac Johnson furiously charges Caleb, who dashes out of the ring and escapes up the entrance ramp.]
Nelson: Well I guess that answers that question!
Hart: Who does Caleb Knox think he is?
[We return to the announce booth.]
Hart: Wipe those smiles off your faces!
Nelson: Hold on a minute folks, we got cameras backstage with John Pilchard and Mac Johnson!
[We're backstage as we see John Pilchard walking, with both hands gripping his hair, looking ready to tear it out. Jason Duran armed with a microphone approaches him, smirking mildly.]
Duran: John! What are your thoughts on standing in front of thousands of people with your pants down?
Nelson: Hahah!
Pilchard: MAC!
[Mac Johnson slams the microphone out of Duran's hands and hoists him over his shoulder, carrying him out of Pilchard's view. Pilchard approaches the camera irate.]
Pilchard: Caleb Knox! You just disrespected me on national television! Do you have any idea what you just brought upon yourself! Do you know who you're messing with? I'm John Pilchard damnit! You know what I do? I make stars! You wanna be a star!? Well some stars burn out, and I can break stars as well as I can make them!
[Mac Johnson returns to frame, standing behind John Pilchard.]
Pilchard: You've used up ten of your fifteen minutes Caleb Knox! And this Sunday, Mac Johnson is gonna make your final five minutes the worst of your life! Eye of the Storm, Caleb! It's you who will be caught with your pants down!
[Pilchard aggressively mangles the camera, shaking it violently as we return to the announce table, where Hart looks saddened for Pilchard, while Nelson and Tiger look unable to control their laughter.]
Hart: It's not funny for God's sake!
Nelson: I've never seen John Pilchard so embarassed.
Hart: How would you feel if I pulled your pants down right now! In front of all these people! It's not funny alright!
Nelson: Alright let's try and stay professional here...
[Nelson and Tiger break out in laughter again.]
Hart: You guys stink. Can we talk about Eye of the Storm already?
Nelson: Alright...alright...
[A graphic shows Johnny Vandal taking on J.J. Carter.]
Nelson: We got a hell of a show coming up this Sunday folks and it starts with Johnny Vandal taking on J.J. Carter.
Tiger: Johnny Vandal said he's bored in cWo and wants a challenge. He's set out to "Vandalize" J.J. Carter, and as we saw earlier today, J.J. Carter isn't gonna be an easy target.
[A graphic displays Jen Diamond versus Mad Maddie.]
Nelson: It's a matter of respect. Mad Maddie, Women's Champion or not has been tearing the division apart, and not in the spirit of competition.
Tiger: Jen Diamond wants to Mad Maddie to clean up her act, but I think she'd have an easier time turning water into wine, you don't want to bet money on this one folks.
[A graphic displays Mac Johnson versus Caleb Knox and Tiger and Nelson burst into laughter again.]
Hart: It's not funny! This Sunday Mac Johnson is gonna beat Caleb Knox like an egg and we're never gonna see him again!
Nelson: I hope John Pilchard wears a belt.
[Peter Tiger laughs hysterically.]
Hart: Stop it!
[A graphic displays Women's Champion Bellatrix Drake versus Cassie Charisma versus Nox Bones.]
Nelson: Bellatrix Drake will be defending her Women's Championship against not one, but two competitors, Cassie Charisma and Nox Bones in a triple threat match.
Tiger: One question going in is whether the Women's Championship will be the focus of this match, or if Cassie Charisma and Nox Bones will continue ripping and clawing at each other.
[A graphic then displays the return of Josh Cantrell.]
Tiger: This one is big. It was made official last week, that this week marks the return of Josh Cantrell, and it's coming in a big way this Sunday at Eye of the Storm.
Nelson: Will it be the same Josh Cantrell we saw on the edge of madness before he left the cWo? Or has he changed his tune? We'll find out on Sunday.
[Johnny Serious versus Mr. Rich is highlighted.]
Nelson: Those aren't the only returns this Sunday however as Mr. Rich and Johnny Serious both make their in ring returns to oppose one another, and this isn't just an ordinary match.
Tiger: The winner of this match won't be done for the night, as the winner will go on to act as the referee in our main event.
[A graphic highlights Barrett Hawk versus World Champion Mike Logan.]
Nelson: It's been a hectic and controversial month for both men, as Barrett Hawk takes on Mike Logan in a two of three falls contest, with special guest referee Johnny Serious, or Mr. Rich.
Tiger: The referee could be very telling of who the victor is gonna be. But as has been the norm between Logan and Hawk, I suspect we're in for a few surprises as well.
[A graphic then displays showing Muru, Chazz Mendel and Devon Dice versus Face Turn.]
Nelson: And a star studded, action packed six man tag match also lies ahead of us this Sunday.
Tiger: Although perhaps not, the challenge has been made for Muru, Chazz Mendel and Devon Dice to take on Notorious JON, Victor Emmit and Tito Barnes of Face Turn, but coming up right away is Victor Emmit taking on Muru, and if Victor Emmit wins, well..this match is off!
Hart: And I'm banking on it!
Nelson: That's coming up next.
[Devon Dice is walking in the backstage area and opens a door. Muru is getting ready for his match.]
Dice: Moo.
Muru: What's up?
Dice: Just letting you know I'll be ringside tonight.
Muru: That won't be necessary.
Dice: You know these guys just as well as I do. They don't play fair, they could be shooting loaded dice. I'll be out there to prevent it.
Muru: Hey! I have to do this on my own. Stay away from the ring. You'll get your chance at Eye of the Storm.
Dice: If that's what you really want, I'll support you. But I'll be watching from the eye in the sky. Good luck out there.
Muru: Thanks.
[Muru makes his leave.]

If Victor Emmit wins, the Six Man Tag is cancelled
Nelson: We're back from our final commercial break as we're ready for the night's main event. Up next is the match between Muru and Victor Emmit. Muru has been wanting to get his hands on Emmit ever since he put out of action months ago.
Hart: Muru has had his chances. He is blaming the wrong guy. All Victor Emmit did was wrestle Muru like he would anyone else. He took advantage of his opponent's weaknesses.
Tiger: You are right Robbie, the real man to blame is Reg Jr.
Hart: There is no proof of that Peter. If you ask me Muru just had some bad luck.
Nelson: Good thing no one was asking you.
[The camera cuts from the announce table back to the ring where Donna Dixon is waiting. She has a microphone in hand ready to introduce the participants]
Benson: The following contest is our main event! And stipulates that if Victor Emmit is victorious tonight, there will be no six man tag at Eye of the Storm...
[God Gave Notorious JON to You hits the PA system. As the introduction passes Victor Emmit comes out alone, looking as though he's taking tonight's match seriously.]
Benson: Entering the ring first, weighing in at two hundred and twenty four pounds. From Vancouver, British Columbia....Victoooooor Emmmmiiiiiit!
Nelson: I will give him this, Emmit looks ready tonight.
Hart: Why wouldn't he be? He wins this and they are done with Muru for good. Not to mention Dice and Mendel!
Tiger: But if he loses Face Turn will have one gig I don't think they wanted. I wonder how Tito and Jon feel?
Hart: I know what you are trying to do! You are trying to cause animosity between Face Turn. They are a team, more like a family, they are in this together. You will see.
[Up on the cWo tron a picture of the earth is seen. The earth then explodes and pyro and explosions fill the arena. The entrance ramp is full of smoke as “Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva begins to play]
Benson: And his opponent weighing two hundred and twenty-five pounds, from Allen Park, Michigan...MuuuuRuuuu!!!!
[Muru then walks out through the fog and makes his way to the ring. He slaps the hands of fans on his way to the ring. He slides in and raises his arms into the air as the fans cheer]
Nelson: Muru looks ready.
Tiger: Muru is always ready, but there is a certain determination on his face.
Hart: Move like a look of constipation...you know cause...
Nelson: Don't go there Robbie...
[Muru is still playing up to the crowd when Emmit attacks him from behind knocking him to the mat. Emmit now using his feet to kick Muru outside of the ring]
DING DING DING
Nelson: This one is underway as Emmit attacks Muru from behind and sends him outside of the ring.
Tiger: Emmit seems pretty happy about it and the crowd is letting him know what they think.
Hart: That's right Victor bask in the glow of your adoring fans!
[Muru climbs on the apron but Emmit is there to meet him. He tried to pull Muru into the ring but Muru counters with a left hand. He then drives a shoulder into the midsection of Emmit and flips into the ring]
Nelson: Sunset flip attempt by Muru...
ONE
TWO
Tiger: Muru tried to steal a quick victory there.
Hart: It will take much more than that to put Victor Emmit away.
Nelson: That might be what Muru is counting on.
[Emmit after kicking out comes at Muru but in on the wrong side of a clothesline that send him to the mat. He is back up but it met with another before deciding to buy some time outside of the ring]
Tiger: Emmit trying to regain his composure outside of the ring.
Nelson: Muru is on fire and the fans love it.
Hart: Come on Victor! The band is counting on you.
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
FIVE
SIX
Nelson: The referee had no choice to count but Emmit slides back under the bottom rope and it looks like this one is going to get back on track.
[Emmit is to his feet and this time the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Muru gains the upper hand and whips Emmit into the ropes. Muru misses a clothesline as Emmit ducks underneath]
Nelson: Muru with a miss and Emmit kicks him in the gut. He follows that up with a roundhouse that almost takes Muru's head off.
Tiger: The impact of that shot had to hurt. The whiplash effect on Muru's injured neck didn't look good.
Hart: Once again he is just taking advantage of what is in front of him.
[Emmit enjoys a little air guitar before continuing his attack. He pulls Muru up but Muru hits a sit down jawbreaker]
Tiger: I think Victor Emmit might want to spend more time wrestling and less time rocking out.
Hart: He gets the job done his own way Peter. You will see that.
Nelson: Right now Muru hits an elbow drop and is back in control. He sends Emmit into the turnbuckle and follows him in. A monkey flip by Muru!
Tiger: That is a new one.
Hart: He has just spent too much time hanging out with Devon Dice.
[Muru is waiting for Emmit to get to his feet and he kicks him in the gut. He goes for a swinging neckbreaker but it is countered. Emmit drives Muru into the turnbuckle chest first]
Nelson: Muru was looking to send Emmit on a trip around the world but the flight was canceled. Now Muru finds himself in trouble.
Tiger: Joel it looks like Emmit is charging at Muru in the turnbuckle.
Hart: Mosh Pit!
[Muru falls out of the corner and Emmit goes for a quick rollup]
ONE
TWO
TH...
Nelson: Muru is just able to kick out and Emmit is not letting up this time. He has a headlock on Muru and is cinching back. He follows that up with a bulldog and plants Muru face first into the mat.
Tiger: Right now things aren't looking good for Muru.
Hart: I told you guys! You doubted me but look who is in control.
[Victor runs against the ropes, and on the rebound he advances forward he does an Angus Young air guitar bounce three steps before leaping in the air, swinging his arm powerfully strumming his air guitar like Pete Townsend as he drops a knee into the chest of Muru]
Nelson: High Voltage Knee Drop by Emmit and that could be it!
Tiger: He goes for the cover...
ONE
TWO
THRE...
Nelson: Muru just got the shoulder up!
Hart: That was a slow count by the referee. He needs to get his head...
Nelson: That's enough Robbie. He is just doing his job like you should be.
[Emmit continues to use hit feet to inflict pain on the fallen Muru and he once again kicks him to the outside. This time he follows Muru outside and sends him into the steel post. He follows that up with a DDT]
Nelson: I can't believe it! Victor Emmit just gave Muru a DDT on the concrete floor.
Hart: There is a mat there Joel.
Tiger: I am sure that is very comforting to Muru. He might be out.
[Emmit looks down at Muru as the crowd boos. He rolls back into the ring and the referee has no choice but to count]
ONE

T...
Nelson: I can't believe it! Muru just beat the count!
Tiger: Emmit can't believe it either. I think he thought he had it won right there.
Hart: Does Muru ever know when to quit?
Nelson: You know the answer to that one already Robbie.
[Emmit continues his attack. He whips Muru off the ropes and follows him in and drives a knee into Muru's midsection. Emmit now climbs to the top rope]
Tiger: It looks like Victor Emmit is going to pull out all the stops.
Nelson: He leaps from the top with a leg drop across the throat of Muru.
Hart: Now that is what I call a stage dive!
Nelson: Another pin attempt by Emmit.
ONE
TWO
THRE...
Hart: You got to be kidding me!
Tiger: I have to admit Victor Emmit is showing me something here tonight. He has dominated Muru.
Nelson: I agree Peter. It is looking like we might not see that six man tag match after all.
[Emmit pulls Muru to his feet and goes for a suplex. Muru counters and lands behind Emmit. He hits a russian leg sweep and both men are on the mat]
Tiger: A desperation move by Muru and it might have bought him a little time.
Nelson: Not enough time. Emmit is already to his feet and he looks less than happy.
Hart: Would you be happy if you have done all you can and you can't get rid of a cockroach?
[Emmit goes for another one of his kicks and Muru grabs his leg. He spins him around and this time he hits his swinging neckbreaker]
Nelson: Around the World! Muru hits it and now he is looking to the crowd.
Tiger: They know what is coming next.
Hart: Come on Emmit, don't let it end like this!
Nelson: Muru makes his way to the top rope.
Tiger: He is moving slowly though and Emmit is already starting to stir.
[Muru is on the top but Emmit is able to fall into the ropes and Muru falls on the turnbuckle]
Hart: Looks like Muru will be hitting all the high notes.
Nelson: He took too much time and Emmit made him pay for it. Emmit follows him up and a superplex sends both men back to the mat.
Hart: Look at Emmit sacrificing himself like the rock god he is!
[Emmit is back to his feet and is lying in wait. Muru is beginning to stir]
Nelson: Looks like he is waiting for Muru to get to his feet.
Tiger: I don't think this is going to work out well for Muru.
Hart: Say goodbye to Muru he is done for.
[Muru gets to his feet and turns around right as Victor Emmit is going for TNT]
Nelson: On instinct Muru ducks out of the way and Emmit misses. Muru grabs a hold of him and hits Spilt Milk but he isn't able to go for the cover.
Tiger: Both men are on on their backs and the referee is starting the five count.
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
FIVE...
Nelson: Both men just beat the five count and our to their feet. Emmit whips Muru into the corner and follows him in. Muru moves out of the way!
Hart: He keeps getting lucky.
Tiger: Muru might be fighting on instinct now.
[Emmit hits the turnbuckle hard and Muru rolls him up]
ONE
TWO
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Dixon: The winner of the match...MuuuuRuuuu!!!!
Hart: You have to be kidding me! Did you see that? Muru had his feet on the ropes!
Tiger: If he did the referee didn't see it. But it just shows how important it was to win this match that he had to stretch the rules some.
Nelson: Either way all I can say is what a match! Muru pulls off a big victory over Victor Emmit.
Tiger: You know what this means Joel. It will be Face Turn taking on Muru, Chazz Mendel, and Devon Dice this Sunday at Eye of the Storm.
Nelson: Should be one hell of a match Peter.
Hart: A match that should never take place. I think Face Turn has proved over and over again they have those three goofs numbers. Plus Muru cheated here tonight.
[Muru is celebrating his victory as the fans cheer on. Suddenly Notorious JON and Tito Barnes jump over the guard rail and enter the ring]
Nelson: Muru just gave everything he had we don't need to see this!
Hart: Speak for yourself!
Nelson: Jon and Tito are attacking Muru from behind!
Tiger: Where is the cavalry? This needs to be stopped!
[Notorious JON picks Muru up and hits him with That's A Wrap. Muru crumbles to the mat hold his face]
Nelson: He might have broken Muru's noise!
[Victor Emmit is back to his feet and he has mounted Muru and is hitting him with right hands]
Tiger: Here comes Dice and Mendel and they are running full steam towards the ring!
Hart: They have no business out here!
[Dice and Mendel slide into the ring and Face Turn disperse and exit the ring]
Nelson: Face Turn is heading up the ramp. They don't look too happy their plan to take out Muru didn't quite work out.
Emmit: This isn't over!
Tiger: Emmit is especially fired up. I don't think he is happy that he lost and now Face Turn has no choice but to face Muru and company.
Nelson: They can no longer duck them.
Hart: Joel that isn't what was going on. Face Turn is not only the best musicians in the world but also the best wrestling talent.
Nelson: Just because you tell yourself that Robbie it doesn't make it true.
[Dice and Mendel turn their attention to Muru and help him to his feet. Muru regains his barrings and asks one of the stagehands for a microphone]
Nelson: Muru doesn't look happy and he has something he wants to say.
Hart: Of course! Why can't he just take his beatings like a man?
Tiger: He doesn't deserve to be the target of constant attacks. None of these men do.
[Muru raises the microphone and begins to speak]
Muru: You guys want to keep attacking us in numbers? Well we want a chance to return the favor. Not only will Face Turn be taking on the three of us, it will also be under elimination rules. Lets see how you guys like it when the shoe is on the other foot!
[“Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva begins to play throughout the arena as the camera cuts back to the announce table]
Nelson: What an announcement! An elimination match for Eye of the Storm.
Tiger: We might finally get to see Mendel, Dice, and Muru get a member of Face Turn isolated. With that I am sure they will get some well deserved payback.
Hart: It isn't fair! Face Turn just gets the deck stacked against them at every turn!
Nelson: I just think the playing field is being leveled.
[Muru, Dice and Mendel stare down the members of Face Turn as they are taking in the announcement and staring back.]
Nelson: It's been a chaotic night tonight folks, but if you thought tonight was wild you have no idea what's coming at Eye of the Storm. Three days from today, don't miss it!...
[The show fades out, but then fades back in to the backstage area where a contemplative Barrett Hawk sits on a bench in the locker room still in his street clothes looking down on the floor. He sits and he thinks for a while before beginning to speak.]
Hawk: I tell this to people all the time. My whole life...My Momma raised me to live life on three things. Humility. Hard work. And respect. In everything I've ever done I'd abided by those three things. In normal life it's been real easy to do my Momma proud. But this last year...
[Hawk rubs his hands over his face as he looks up to the camera.]
Hawk: This business...it ain't normal. The highs in this business stand taller than any high I've ever felt. But the lows are the lowest I've ever been. Last week when Johnny Serious counted the three, was the best, most proud moment of my entire life. When I held that Title in my hands...it's like I'd had another baby in my family. This week, Mike Logan, when you took it away from me I felt like I'd lost a Son.
[Hawk grits his teeth for a moment before speaking again.]
Hawk: I ain't been in this business for very long, and tonight as I sit here miserable and alone I've been gettin' a lot of thinking done and I realized how accustomed I am of you constantly bringing me down to this level. I got to wondering why I feel so bad, when compared to our history together, this is just another day. Mike Logan...boy...you hit my breaking point.
[Barrett Hawk stands up as he becomes fired up.]
Hawk: Like they say it rains when you step on a spider. You've stepped on me for the last time Mike Logan, and now a storm's coming. Eye of the Storm this Sunday, you can run, you can hide, but there's no shelter from this storm. There's no taking back the things that you've done, the things that you've said about me, about my family...this is it between you and me, I'm gonna beat you this Sunday and there ain't a thing you can do about it, so I suggest for once in your spoiled, shallow life you act like a God-damn man and fight.
