ECCW Crush Results — Friday, February 22, 2013 — Episode 190: It's a Done Deal

The arena turns green as the pyro display hits, fireworks lighting up the stage. The fans are excited for another Friday night of action.

A recap of last week's episode of Crush is aired.

For the second week in a row, the show is opened up with cheers following the sound of the music of ECCW CEO Matthew Jericho. The boss himself parades down the ramp, looking like he has a lot on his mind. While his mood is not quite foul, he doesn't appear to be as cheerful as he typically is when appearing on an ECCW program. He wastes little time in making his way to the ring. Once in it, he gets right to the point, explaining the situation involving his son Stephen Jericho and Harry Jones. Explaining that Jones attacked Stephen Jericho with little to no reason at all almost a week ago at Heavy Metal, he says that at long last, Harry Jones will be punished for his inexcusable actions as of late. Jericho says that he is on Crush tonight to bring justice to Jones himself; he will not allow Richie, Robert Cairo, or even Stephen Jericho to do it. With that, he orders Harry Jones to the ring immediately. After a brief pause, Jones' music hits and a chorus of boos follow. Jones cockily walks to the ring, acting as if the situation is a funny joke. In the ring, Jericho begins to verbally lash Jones, who doesn't even seem to be defensive. When Jericho's rant ends, Jones seems to shrug it off. Jericho, clearly annoyed, understands that continuing to talk to Jones will do no good so instead, he opts to get to the punishment part. First, he asks if Jones has anything at all to say for himself. Jones mutters only three words the whole time he is in the ring: "Just one thing." After saying that, he hits a vicious HKO on Jericho as the crowd gasps in unison. In due time, Richie along with a referee and trainer, hurry to the ring to aid Jericho as Jones exits upon their request.

The commentators get everyone excited for some of the events still to come tonight, including the third Hall of Fame inductee announcement, the confrontation between Dustin Shore and Jarrett Calloway, and the contract signing between Will Williams and Twista XL that will end the show.

Match 2: Omega and Trenton York defeated Peter Linch and Zack Horror by pinfall (York over Horror) at 13:55.
Two teams comprised of bitter rivals left it all in the ring, but it was the ECCW Television Champion Trenton York who scored the win over his former partner Zack Horror.

After the match, Trenton York seemed quite content with his victory and left the area fairly quickly, probably thinking that he has better things to be doing than giving his time to the fans. However, Omega stayed behind, eyeing Peter Linch, who had been knocked down during the match by Omega himself. Linch sees that Omega is standing above him, expecting another post-match assault. Instead, Omega offers out his hand. Linch looks confused, as do the members of the audience. Linch hesitantly grabs Omega's hand. Surprisingly, Omega helps Linch up to his feet as the the crowd cheers for the showing of sportsmanship. Still holding onto Linch's hand as if the two are sharing a handshake, Omega says something inaudible to Linch and then suddenly pulls him into his new finisher, the L-Town Finish. The crowd pours on the boos as Omega smirks evilly.

The commentators introduce a video package that will announce the third inductee to join the ECCW Hall of Fame class of 2013. In the video, it is revealed that Sophie Mac will become the second woman to earn the honor of being called an ECCW Hall of Famer.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Backstage, an interviewer is standing by with Dustin Shore. He asks Shore what he is expecting to happen when he comes face to face with Jarrett Calloway again later tonight. Shore says that he honestly does not know; it will all depend on Calloway's attitude. The ball is in Calloway's court in Shore's mind.

Match 3: Alex Nova defeated Christopher Styles (w/ Oliver Walker) by pinfall at 12:26.
Though he put up a serious battle, the highly experienced Christopher Styles fell to the rising star known as Alex Nova.

The commentators announce that after being examined by ECCW medical staff, it has been determined that Matthew Jericho is okay after the attack from Harry Jones earlier in the show.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Peter Linch limps his way down a backstage hallway as an interviewer speeds after him, looking for a response to the attack from Omega that he just fell victim to. Linch tries to shoo the interviewers away with the "no comment" remark but they do not listen. Eventually, Linch reaches the locker room and slams the door behind him as he walks in, ending the medium-speed chase.

Match 4: Adam Jones defeated Matthew Maddox by pinfall at 15:41.
Matthew Maddox was handed his first television loss at the hands of Adam Jones, who seems to be picking up a few new fans every week.

The cameras show a glimpse of the parking garage, where it becomes apparent that Jarrett Calloway is just arriving. The commentators announce that they have heard word that the confrontation between Calloway and Dustin Shore will be happening next.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Dustin Shore's music hits and the usual roar of cheers from the fans in attendance follows it up. He gets in the ring and says that he knows that Jarrett Calloway is now in the building. First though, he reminds everyone that he has already offered to be the bigger man and get over the past. He has already offered to bury the hatchet and move on to 2013. But Calloway is unwilling. Shore says that he is glad that he will come face to face with Calloway because it has become obvious that Shore can ignore this problem no longer; it is beginning to cost him. He cannot let Calloway intervene in his career any longer. He says that he is ready when Calloway is. It is no shocker that Calloway makes Shore wait a little bit, but in relatively short time, Calloway's music hits and the crowd members all seem to shift to the edges of their seats. Shore smiles as Calloway appears on the stage and begins to work his way down the ramp. He enters the ring cautiously. The two stare each other down before anybody says a word; Shore is the first to speak. He demands to know what it is that Calloway wants from him; why is there an apparent obsession with costing Shore big victories? Calloway tells Shore not to flatter himself; Calloway does not see him as a threat. Calloway tells Shore that he helped him realize a month ago that he is in fact better than Shore; but then he began to think: "If I can't be at the top anymore, why should the inferior?" And so Calloway saw that a chance had arisen for Shore to regain the ECCW World Championship and he had to step in and prevent that. Shore declares this a personal issue. He reminds Calloway that he has exhausted all other options; he has tried to reason with Calloway and convince him that they should both be better than unnecessary bickering, but one side just won't listen. Shore says that he is afraid that there is no other option left but to embrace it; Shore says he is going to have to make a statement in a way that will force Calloway to listen. And the only way he knows how to do that is by beating him one more time. It is then that Shore puts an offer on the table: Calloway returns to the ring at Slam-Mania IV to face Dustin Shore one on one. Calloway looks to toss the idea around in his head for a moment before saying "I accept."

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Match 5: Ali Fernando defeated Angel by pinfall at 14:04.

A Monday Night Terror recap is aired.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Crush General Manager Richie is standing in the ring, which is set up for the contract signing for the ECCW World Championship match at Slam-Mania IV. He calls the opponents out one by one, first introducing Twista XL, the challenger. He allows Twista a brief open mic to speak his mind, which he spends a large part of harassing the fans who seem to enjoy booing him as loudly as possible. Richie then introduces the champion Will Williams and the crowd reaction couldn't be any more different. Williams is then offered the same opportunity for an open mic. Getting in Twista's face, Williams tells his opponent exactly why he believes that he will retain the ECCW World title at the biggest event of the ECCW year. Richie stops Williams before it looks like the signing will turn physical. He then tells Twista to sign the contract, which he does with no issue. The paper is then passed across the table to Williams, who signs it without moving his eyes off Twista. Richie then says that the match is official; it's on at Slam-Mania. The two men stand up and begin to argue, though their words are not picked up due to the lack of microphones. Twista then shoves Williams, who returns the favor. Richie tries to separate them, telling them to stop, but is soon forced out of the ring when threatened with physical harm. Twista gets in the first shot, trying to throw Williams into the table, but Williams turns the tide and whips Twista out of the ring. The crowd cheers as Twista is forced up the ramp as the champ remains in the ring to close the show.

ECCW Crush Results — Friday, March 1, 2013 — Episode 191: Familiar Faceoff

The arena turns green as the pyro display hits, fireworks lighting up the stage. The fans are excited for another Friday night of action.

A recap of last week's episode of Crush is aired.

The show starts off with the music of Harry Jones hitting, to which the crowd reacts mainly negatively. He gets into the ring, doing a good job of ignoring the hassle the fans are giving him. He says that last week he did something that many in the back find unthinkable; knocking out the most important man in the company, Matthew Jericho. But Jones admits that he isn't like all of the other guys in the locker room because there is one simple fact that sets him apart; he's better. He reiterates his ever-so-famous declaration that he is professional wrestling's greatest. He says that whether he is competing under the lights of ECCW, EFNW, or any other name, he is the number one star on the roster because he is simply the best in the world and that means that he does what he wants when he wants. Last week, he felt like taking out the CEO of ECCW and so he did just that. Soon, he is interrupted by Matthew Jericho himself, who comes out onto the stage saying that he may just be a corporate figurehead to Jones, but he is surprisingly tough inside and out. Because of this, Jericho has shaken off last week's attack and has decided to combine his "tough side" with his "managerial side." The child of this combination is a Slam-Mania match; Harry Jones is rather surprised to hear the announcement of Jones versus ... Matthew Jericho.

A Monday Night Terror recap is aired.

Backstage, an interviewer is standing by with Peter Linch. The interviewer mentions — and in turn, essentially announces — a now-official match between Linch and Omega at Slam-Mania. He asks Linch to explain why it is that he wants this match to happen. Linch says that Omega has been a thorn in his side for a while now; he is clearly in the way of Linch's success. Linch wishes to propel himself back to the top, into the ECCW World Championship picture. This cannot be done with Omega standing in his way, purporting himself to be the face of the company. Linch says that he is glad that management has made the match official because he will get payback on Omega by defeating him at the biggest ECCW event of the year.

Match 2: Zack Horror defeated Ryan McKinnon by pinfall at 10:12.
In a Doom rematch, Zack Horror was able to exact revenge on Ryan McKinnon with a pinfall victory.

A Slam-Mania hype video is aired, ending with the message: "23 DAYS."

Adam Jones comes out to a mixed reaction, although there are more chants and cheers heard in his favor than ever before. Once in the ring, Jones starts to talk about how important this time of year is in ECCW. On this topic, it does not appear that he has much going for him in terms of matches for Slam-Mania, but Jones makes a promise. Whether or not he is booked in a match, he says that his presence will be felt. He takes a glance at his Money in the Bank briefcase and smirks before the lights dim down low and the same music from Heavy Metal begins to play; the ominous voice following: "Once in a lifetime, you see something so massive that it changes the course of history. An event so significant that the world as you know it is not the same ever again. You asked to be a part of this world, this world of professional wrestling. Be careful of what you wish for. For this world you have entered will now be the nightmare you thought was a pleassnt dream. The hard work you have done will have been for naught. Are you prepared to die in this world you've wanted?"



Adam Jones is dumbfounded yet again, just as he and everyone else was at Heavy Metal. The lights go back to normal but it appears that Jones is no longer in a speaking mood.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

ECCW Crush Results — Friday, March 8, 2013 — Episode 192: Brawling Mania

The arena turns green as the pyro display hits, fireworks lighting up the stage. The fans are excited for another Friday night of action.

A recap of last week's episode of Crush is aired.

The commentators introduce a video clip from earlier tonight in which Matthew Jericho is participating in a sit-down interview regarding the match that he entered himself into at Slam-Mania. The interviewer asks why Jericho made the match and if he believes he stands a chance against someone who calls himself the best in the world. Jericho says that there comes a time where everybody reaches their breaking point; Jones has been pushing and pushing and pushing in recent months and Jericho is going to finally take action. Jericho reminds the interviewer of an important fact: Jones calls himself the best, but that doesn't mean it is so. No matter his rank, Jericho says that he must be feeling confident or else he wouldn't have put himself into this situation. He intends to shut Jones' mouth once and for all. At the close of the clip, the commentators announce that more segments from the interview will be aired throughout the program.

Match 1: Angel defeated Matthew Maddox by pinfall at 10:42.
Despite Angel having the experience edge, this match was tremendously even throughout and it was almost an upset when the so-far-successful rookie Matthew Maddox ended up with the loss.

Trenton York is furious in the ring, having no clue what to do next. He begins to argue with the referee over nothing significant as another break begins.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

The next segment of the interview with Matthew Jericho is played. This time, the interviewer brings up the fact that there has been some controversy backstage about Jericho's interesting method of handling his issues with Harry Jones. Jericho admits that challenging the superstar to a match at Slam-Mania is certainly an unorthodox way for the CEO of the company to handle problems, but Jericho says that this has an explanation. Rather than punishing Jones in another way, like suspending him or firing him, Jericho says that he has to send a message to Jones; a message that can only be delivered through physical challenge. Jones will never shut up, says Jericho, but there's a bigger chance of this happening if he gets beaten by his boss at the grandest stage of them all. Win or lose, Jericho says that he will bring it to Jones on March 24.

Match 3: Ryan McKinnon defeated Keith Copeland by pinfall at 12:15.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

A hype video for Slam-Mania is aired, ending with the message: "16 DAYS."

The commentators go over all of the matches that have been announced for Slam-Mania so far, following along with the nine match graphics.

Dustin Shore comes out to his fair share of cheers from the crowd. He steps into the ring with a microphone in hand and begins to talk about his largely successful ECCW career. He has accomplished it all, but he says that he isn't done yet. He knows his limits and he has not yet reached them. While Jarrett Calloway may be unsure of what lies in his future, Shore says that he will help him out by informing him that sixteen days into the future, Calloway will be on his back for the one, two, three as Shore beats him in the Slam-Mania main event. Just then, he is interrupted by the same video package that has interrupted Adam Jones twice in recent weeks. The now familiar voice repeats: "Once in a lifetime, you see something so massive that it changes the course of history. An event so significant that the world as you know it is not the same ever again. You asked to be a part of this world, this world of professional wrestling. Be careful of what you wish for. For this world you have entered will now be the nightmare you thought was a pleassnt dream. The hard work you have done will have been for naught. Are you prepared to die in this world you've wanted?"

COMMERCIAL BREAK

A video package highlighting the glorious careers of 2013 ECCW Hall of Fame inductees Cyrus Black, Jake Lyndon, and Sophie Mac is aired.

Backstage, an interviewer is standing by with Dustin Shore, who is asked what he expects when he appears on Jarrett Calloway's talk show, the Breaking Ice, later on. He says that in all honesty, he has no idea. He says that he is expecting the givens, such as trash talk and all of these promises and lectures, but as for physical confrontation, he is in the dark. This prompts the interviewer to ask if Shore would prefer physical confrontation, to which Shore says that he would rather along follow the path of the ECCW World Championship match and keep all physical contact to a minimum until Slam-Mania, but if Calloway has different plans, Shore has no problem going with those either.

Match 3: Twista XL defeated Peter Linch by pinfall at 16:48.
In another hard fought match, Twista XL emerged victorious over Peter Linch, sending a strong message to the ECCW World Champion Will Williams.

You asked to be a part of this world, this world of professional wrestling. Be careful of what you wish for.

Match 5: Will Williams defeated Omega by pinfall at 18:00.
During the match, Twista XL, Will Williams' Slam-Mania challenger, decided to involve himself in the match in an attempt to screw Williams out of the win. This plan seemed to be going smoothly as Omega had the refere thoroughly distracted, but soon enough Peter Linch came down to the ring to even the odds, ridding the ringside area of Twista and allowing Williams to catch Omega off guard with the Dream Crusher.

The commentators announce that the Breaking Ice segment is up next.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Jarrett Calloway comes down to the ring, which is already set up for the first edition of the Breaking Ice talk show in quite some time in ECCW. Instead of taking a seat, he decides to pace slowly from side to side as he speaks. He is looking a lot more confident than he has in recent ECCW appearances. He starts off by saying that he is glad that the bookers decided to save the best for last because they have learned to realize one thing: that Jarrett Calloway, win or lose, is the best of the best. He says that he does not even have to wrestle in 2013 to prove this any further, but that he is willing to at Slam-Mania against Dustin Shore. Accepting this a segue, he then introduces Shore, who comes out in due time. There is a pop of cheers as his music hits. Shore steps into the ring and makes himself at home by sitting down. Calloway joins him and gets straight to the point. He asks Shore a simple yet surprising question: "Who do you think is going to win at Slam-Mania?" Shore seems a little shocked that this is the big question. He laughs it off and answers that he will be the victor and not Calloway because no matter how much of a confidence act that Calloway decides to play on March 24, he knows that he is unable to beat the Dynamite Superstar. Calloway decides to stand up for his response. Perhaps feeling the need to follow suit, Shore does the same. The two exchange stares as the crowd is on edge. Just when it looks as if Calloway is set to respond, he whacks Shore with the microphone, sending a screech through the speakers that is met with a gasp in the audience. Mixed reactions rain down on Calloway as he stands over Shore.

After the match, Will Williams stormed back into the ring after being tossed out during the match's finish. He goes for retribution because of the loss, clearly angry with both Twista XL and Omega. His attention seems to be centered on Twista, however. Not one to take a beating, Twista finds back enthusiastically. With Peter Linch on the outside, Omega feels the need to assist his partner, as he goes for a big boot on Williams, who ducks out of the way and causes Omega to run right into Twista, sending him to the mat. Williams gets the last laugh.

A recap of last Sunday's Slam-Mania IV is aired.

The show kicks off with the music of Matthew Jericho hitting. The crowd cheers for the ECCW CEO, most knowing full well why he is on Crush tonight.

He says that he intends to address the situation involving the Coalition and the ultimatum that they have presented. To refresh everyone's memory, Jericho directs the fans' attention to the big screen where a recap of Tyson Clay's promo from Monday Night Terror is aired. As it ends, Jericho says that he is not interested in playing these games with the Coalition. He says that he has always been one to fight fire with fire; while he believes that it would be possible to hire enough security to prevent the Coalition from causing too much hassle at each and every event, he'd rather save himself the trouble and rid ECCW of this tumor in a more immediate way. He says that he does not wish to provide them with contracts, but having seen no wrestling from the trio before, also does not think that they can defeat a super team that he intends to put together to battle them at Whiplash. He says that Dustin Shore and Adam Jones will pair up alongside a mystery team captain; come Whiplash, Jericho believes that the Coalition will be terminated for good.

The music of Jarrett Calloway hits and there are instant cheers to follow. Despite his questionable behavior as of late, the cheers never seem to leave him. He says that Slam-Mania was a fantastic night but at the same time, a very tough one. He says that his loss to Dustin Shore was beyond disappointing to him, but that it appears that Shore has moved on from it and again, he has not. Calloway then returns to the question of where he should go from here; what is next? He says that this entire ordeal has actually taught him a lesson and showed him a point. His career, he says, is not over. While the future remains a mystery, he says that when it is time for him to go, he will go victorious.

The arena turns green as the pyro display hits, fireworks lighting up the stage. The fans are excited for another Friday night of action.

A recap of last week's episode of Crush is aired.

Will Williams opens up the show, the crowd cheering him on as he heads down to the ring. Carrying his ECCW World Championship as well as a microphone, Williams steps into the ring and begins to speak. He brings up the close of last week's show, where he was double teamed in an attack that he believes was a carefully planned plot all along. He says that Twista XL and Ryan McKinnon both knew that they were not going to actually fight to a finish; instead, they opted to assault the vulnerable referee that they both happen to despise. Williams says that he is not going to let it get to him. Instead, he will use it as motivation. He explains that all of Twista's and McKinnon's antics really get him angry and riled up, which he intends to take out on McKinnon at Whiplash anyway. It is at this point that the Crush General Manager Richie comes out. He tells Williams that he is glad he is handling it professionally but he wants to make it clear that he will not allow the situation to get out of hand. There will be a match between Williams and McKinnon at Whiplash and that is that, nothing more or less. In the meantime, he announces a tag team main event match between the team of Will Williams and Dustin Shore as well as Twista XL and Ryan McKinnon. Williams says that he appreciates the chance to get a bit of his anger out tonight.

A Whiplash preview is aired.

Match 2: Harry Jones defeated Trenton York by pinfall at 14:22.
In one of the most impressive Crush matches in some time, Harry Jones continued his winning streak with a pinfall victory over the similarly-hated Trenton York.

Backstage, an interviewer is standing by with Ryan McKinnon. The interviewer asks him if he has any ties with the Coalition. McKinnon is quick to shoot down this idea. He says that he is not at all associated with the group and never has been; everything they have done that appears to have benefited him is simply coincidence. However, he says that it should be noted that the Coalition has taken a liking to him and thinks that he is one of the brightest stars in the company, which McKinnon swears is totally true. So whether or not they end up helping him win the title is irrelevant to the fact that he is better than Will Williams and will walk out champion regardless, according to McKinnon.

After the match, Ryan McKinnon led Twista XL into initiating another brutal attack similar to the one that Will Williams suffered last week. However, with the odds evened out this time, Dustin Shore was able to aid Williams and fend off the challengers. That is until out of nowhere, the three men of the Coalition appeared and helped turn the situation into that of a five on two handicap match. The numbers game won.

ECCW Crush Results — Friday, April 12, 2013 — Episode 197: In His Own Right

The arena turns green as the pyro display hits, fireworks lighting up the stage. The fans are excited for another Friday night of action.

A recap of last week's episode of Crush is aired.

The show begins with Matthew Jericho being shown on the screen. He is cheered for a moment. He starts to speak when the applause stops. He says that Tyson Clay has been invited to appear on tonight's episode of Crush, but that he has been forced to promise that the rest of the Coalition will not be present. Clay has agreed to these terms, according to Jericho. The reasoning behind this appearance is the hope that there will be an explanation given for the actions of the Coalition in getting involved on recent Crush and Terror episodes. Jericho says he also wants to hear the group's official stance on Ryan McKinnon and find out once and for all if they are working with him, for him, or none of the above. Clay will be appearing later in the show to hopefully provide these answers.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

A Monday Night Terror recap is aired.

Tyson Clay comes down to the ring with no accompaniment, surprisingly enough. The crowd lets him hear it regardless. He begins by saying that first and foremost, the Coalition has nothing to do with Ryan McKinnon. The Coalition respects Ryan McKinnon as a competitor and does truly believe him to be one of the company's best. Because of this, they would like to see him shine. However, that being said, according to Clay, the Coalition has not made any attempts up to this point to try and assist McKinnon in his way to the top. While they hope for a McKinnon victory at Whiplash, that cannot be guaranteed as of now, says Clay. He says that Stephen Jericho came up with a good idea that the Coalition agreed with; place Ryan McKinnon in tonight's main event and if he does not win, then the winner will be placed into the ECCW World Championship match at Whiplash. This will force McKinnon to be on the top of his game even without help from the Coalition. Moving on from this, Clay reasserts his usual point that the Coalition cannot be stopped by any security force or management decision. They will earn ECCW contracts at Whiplash and that is final. Once that happens, there will truly be no way to stop the Coalition and their fight to transform ECCW.
