ECCW: Extreme Created Championship Wrestling 22.0

*The following takes place on Wednesday Night Crush.*



*The crowd cheers as it has already been a night of intense action on Crush. Now, Dustin Shore is coming out in his ring attire to defend the Legends Championship against Will Williams, to his classic entrance music, no less. He poses with the championship at the top of the ramp, showing it off to the ECCW fanbase. He stands on the stage, pointing out into the crowd and yelling things, smiling as he puts the belt over his shoulder and makes his way to the ring. Once in the ring, he stands on the bottom rope halfway between two turnbuckles, and leans on the second and third ropes, holding his arms out at his sides before quickly bringing them together across his chest, setting off fireworks in the corner ringposts. To everyone's surprise, he goes to ringside and asks for a microphone.*

Dustin Shore: Before I engage in unholy warfare with Will Williams tonight, with the Crush Legends title up for grabs, there is something I feel like I need to cover, and that is my recent appearance in EFNW, where I defeated the EFNW World Champion in an impromptu non-title match...*big pop*...with a little help of course. I can understand Cyrus Black being upset with me for choosing to take advantage like I did, but the fact of the matter is that he was defeated. I couldn't tell you the number of times I've been screwed out of victories myself, in similar fashions, but I just go back out and do better the next week.

But even better, the Jerichos and Travis Jones have set up this year's Power Play with a theme of EFNW vs ECCW, with people representing their sides in vicious brand struggles. Battle lines drawn, and for many who compete in both companies, sides chosen. Naturally, I'd like to represent ECCW at the event, hopefully still as the Legends Champion. What I lack is an opponent representing EFNW. I know that Cyrus Black isn't happy with his loss, and he has said a few things meant to paint me as a lesser competitor, unworthy of the victory I won. I say if Cyrus Black is unhappy with losing to me, we should go another round, right?

*Crowd pops again.*

Dustin: That's what I thought! So, I'll lay the challenge down. Let Cyrus referee the match between Angel and Casey Anomaly if he wants, but I'm challenging EFNW's current World Champion to represent his brand against me at Power Play. He's talked for weeks about crashing ECCW, but he has yet to show. Well, I'll lay out an invitation for Cyrus Black to show up next week, on Crush, to either accept or decline my challenge. That is where we'll see if Cyrus Black can come out of exile, and back to reality.

*Dustin rolls the mic out of the ring and hands over the Legends Championship to the referee, now awaiting Will Williams and the beginning of their title match.*

[As ‘I Fight Dragons’ blares through the speakers, those fans who recognise the music begin to cheer while those who don’t sit in silence. However, after a few moments of suspense, Peter Linch walks out to a chorus of cheers from all of the fans; except for those die hard EFNW fans. Linch stands on the ramp with the spotlight shining down on him and raises his Crush Money In The Bank briefcase in the air with both hands before slowly walking down the ramp. He reaches the bottom and looks around with a grin on his face before walking up the steps and entering through the ropes. He climbs to the second rope and raises his briefcase in the air once again, tapping his wrist to signify that time is running out; most likely for the ECCW World Champion Jarrett Calloway. Linch steps back down to the mat and rests his briefcase in the corner before grabbing a mic from a crew worker at ringside. He paces the ring while addressing both the fans and the guys in the back.]

“On December 11th ECCW hold the Powerplay PPV and it has been stated that the PPV will be all ECCW v EFNW. If that is the case then the only way in which I can get a match at the event is if I face one of those EFNW rejects. Due to this unfortunate detail I am forced to be here in the EFNW arena.”

[The fans begin to boo Linch as he is obviously insulting EFNW and their superstars.]

“Don’t take this the wrong way but let’s be honest, there is a reason why ECCW has been voted the best Company there is whereas EFNW has fallen through more times than I can remember. That is just one example of why ECCW is much better than EFNW and why, come Powerplay, EFNW will once again fail to beat us. There is nobody on EFNW whom I can’t beat and who I haven’t already proved myself against because, let’s be honest, you can beat one guy in EFNW and then you have beat them all. Don’t get it? They are all the same you idiots!”

[Linch laughs as the fans begin to chant for EFNW. He leans on the ropes and stares at the fans as the tension grows.]

“Prime example of idiot’s right there in the crowd! Anyway, I didn’t come out here to get cheap heat and then leave again. I came here to issue a challenge. A challenge which you would be wise to avoid but I know that one idiot will accept it and give me the chance to show off my skills at Powerplay. There is one guy in particular who I would love to face on December 11th but I’ve got the feeling from past experience that he will let me down and shy away from my challenge. I hope you’re listening Twista XL because this next message is aimed directly at you!”

[There is an overwhelming amount of cheers at the mention of Twista XL. Linch shakes his head as the fans chant his name.]

“Twista me and you have only met once before and I was never given the chance to face you. I want to change that because I want it to be you who I embarrass on the night where EFNW dies. I don’t want some nobody like Nova or some idiot like Kevin Evans; I want you Twista. You, the one man who I despise more than anyone else. It has to be you.

[Linch stops pacing and stands at the ropes, staring up at the stage.]

“If you are really the man you say you are then you will get your ass out here right now and accept my god damn challenge. If not, then you prove to the entire world that what we have all said about EFNW is true; it is a shit-hole full of cowards. Come on then Twista, get your ass out here and prove me wrong!”

[Linch continues to lean on the ropes, anticipating the entrance of Twista XL.]

TBC by Adam?

[The fans stand in confusion as an unknown man steps out onto the ramp rotating a microphone in his hands. To make matters more confusing, this man is white. A few EFNW fans start to cheer, but the crowd starts to boo loudly when the titantron reveals that there is an EFNW microphone in his hand. He raises it to his lips and begins speaking over the boos.]

"So, you're the guy who can climb a ladder eh? Nice to meet you, it's strange, usually when I insult someone who's standing in the ring, they're a wrestler. Not an entertainer. Oh, how rude of me, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Marcelo.... Marcelo Evans. The nephew of none other than Daniel Evans."

[The fans stand in shock. A relative of ECCW tag team legend Daniel Evans is an EFNW wrestler? Oh the humanity! The injustice! Oh wait, he's talking some more!]

"Alot of you might be wondering why I haven't signed an ECCW contract yet, and my answer to that was, I did. Never did anything, wasn't given much of a chance. And honestly, that pissed me off. So I went off, worked hard on the independent circuit, won a tournament, and paid my dues until a man approached me. A man who said he could make all my dreams come true, a man who said he could make Jericho wonder how he screwed up with me, a man who actually knows a thing or two about the wrestling business. That man? Harry Jones. He said that he had to check with his father, but he could almost guarantee that I'd be back in mainstream wrestling in no time. And so I was. So I'm a major player in EFNW, while you look like a homosexual public defender with your eight dollar suit and briefcase."

[The fans boo as Evans insults their beloved Peter Linch, and he looks pretty fed up with them.]

"Oh just shut the fuck up!"

[The fans go silent as one of the seven dirty words you can't say on TV or Radio escapes the lips of this hated outsider. Evans looks pleased as he begins talking again.]

"What's wrong? You ECCW superstars don't need to cuss to get fired up? Well I do. So fuck you Peter Linch. And fuck all of you in audience to. Get a YouTube account, look up an EFNW match and learn about wrestling for fuck's sake. Seriously, nobody does anything worth talking about in ECCW! The only reason anyone wants to work here is because they get a bigger check than if they wrestle for a real promotion! And you think because Jericho sees something in you you're automatically all that and a bag of chips? Trying to jump to the front of the line and challenge Twista XL when you've never even done anything worthwhile? In EFNW, you'd be laughed out of the arena. My lord, Matty and Stevie are really paying you enough where after taking care of your child support and all your 'fancy ass' clothes, you can still afford to get your hands on enough drugs to make you deluded enough to think that's going to fly? Ain't gonna happen. The only reason I'm even wasting my time on you is because Twista XL has to focus on Cyrus Black so he doesn't try to ruin EFNW again. So what do you say? You want an opponent for PowerPlay or not? Because Twista doesn't give shots to anyone unless they've earned it.

[Evans mocks Linch by leaning against the ropes, awaiting an answer.]

OOC: Attack if you like, doesn't matter one way or another to me.
