The EWF logo quickly flashes and the scene opens up to Tormentor sitting in that chair again, looking at the camera to make his opening statement.

Tormentor: Good evening everyone, once again we've come to that night... EWF Justice. As you may be aware, there was no EWF Justice last week, the reasons why have been explained... Controversy has flown all around the EWF lately, and eveyone has their head held high, looking on up to the prize that is at the top of the ladder, the prize which only the strong minded will make... and the toughest bodies will reach, the EWF World Title... The tournament to Breaking the Habit begins tonight. Twelve competitors, one title, two runner ups. As the pace on that runway picks up the pace, it is with great pleasure... that I give to you, the best show in wrestling today.... Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls.... EWF Justice.

The scene fades and a video clip of last weeks EWF Justice is being shown.

Hogan drags Icon to the middle of the ring and applies the headlock, lifting Icon to his feet, Hogan swings Icon to the ropes, but Icon holds onto them, breaking the run, Hogan was going for the Big Boot there, he marches a few steps forward, but Icon comes forward and delivers the Ego Smack (Superkick [yes another person with that move] ) Icon goes for the pin, Tormentor slides into the ring, 1....2..... Tormentor knee drops into Icon breaking the pin. The referee gets up and orders the bell to be rung.

JR: What is Tormentor doing? He just caused Icon the match.

King: I dunno JR...

Tormentor picks Icon up, kicks him in the gut and hits the Stunner on him, the bell keeps ringing to signal to Tormentor the match has ended. Tormentor goes over to Hogan and helps him up. Hogan stands up and nods his head, pointing at Icon. Hollywood Hogan takes off his belt and looks at the crowd for approval, the fans are disgraced, boo's and chants filling the air for Hogan and Tormentor here. Hogan tells Tormentor to stand back as he whips that leather belt around Icon, and again, and again.

JR: This is sick, Hogans whipping Icon like a mule... stop this, c'mon, that's not right.

King: Arrgh... that's gotta hurt..

Tormentor lifts Icon up, Hogan grabs him and Body Slams him, pointing down at him. Hollywood runs on the ropes and Leg Drops Icon.

Tormentor shoves Icon out of the ring with his shoe, like he's filth. He then collects a mic from the announcer.

Tormentor: I bet everyone is wondering what the hell I'm doing... well I'll tell ya, I want everyone to behold.... the soon to be, first ever in history, the one who will lead the EWF into history, the man of history himself.... Hollywood Hogan brother!

Hollywood Hogan poses and flexes his muscles as Tormentor does the announcement.

JR: What? That's ridiculous!

King: Hogans going to be the EWF Champion.... haaa, what amazing news JR.

Tormentor: Hey, Icon... nothing personal, it's just business.

Tormentor shakes Hollywood Hogans hand as the two celebrate around the ring as "Cochise" by Audioslave plays all over the arena.

The clip fades out, all of a sudden fireworks go off and the EWF fans begin cheering out aloud as "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC plays all over the arena.

JR: Welcome folks to another edition of EWF Justice, I'm Jim Ross alongside here with Jerry "the King" Lawler and as Tormentor said just a moment ago, tonight the the tournament which will lead us to EWF Breaking the Habit will begin.

King: Oh boy JR and I tell you... I can't wait! The whole EWF roster is in this tournament, you name it and it's there.... Davie J! Icon, Ryder Jackson, HBK, Big Poppa Pump and Tormentor's favourite... Hollywood Hogan!

JR: As well as many more folks. First up tonight, will be Starr vs. Joey Jordison... we all met Starr last week when she commentated with us during the Davie J/Dark Rider match. This week she debuts against Joey Jordison, who we all saw take out Fuba, taking any chance Fuba had of being entered for the tournament, much to Tormentors pleasure...

King: Tormentors pleasure is the EWF, this is the second show and you're already throwing conspiracy theories around JR.

STARR VS. JOEY JORDISON - EWF TOURNAMENT: 1ST STAGE

"Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence blasts out as Starr makes her way down to the ring, the fans cheer as she runs down the ramp, greeting all the fans on her way down.

JR: Well lately we've been seeing Starr and Scott Steiner get a little closer as we saw them both go for a romantic date... Big Poppa Pump of course being a real gentleman on the night.

King: Of course he would be JR... he's trying to go out with Starr, I'd be on my hands and knees for a woman like that.

JR: I'm sure you said the same about Trish didn't you?

King: Trish?.... Starr? Who can choose between them?

Starr slides into the ring and awaits the arrival of Joey Jordison. "The Heretic Anthem" by Slipknot hits, the fans boo out aloud as Joey Jordison makes his arrival onto the stage, he looks around and walks down, sliding into the ring and pacing around it.

JR: and would you look at Joey Jordison pacing that ring in front of Starr, trying to intimidate her no less. Statistic-wise, Jordison is the favourite here tonight folks, 6"4, 245lbs going up against a 5"7, 120lbs Starr... you have to wonder who thought up this tournament card.

King: Huh? I usually thought the names were picked out of a hat?

JR: Well we weren't told that King, and would you really believe Tormentor is capable of being that fair?

King: Sure I would, I'd trust him with my crown... well, maybe that hat of yours instead.

The referee gets speaks to the announcer, holds his hands up, the bell rings and the match is underway. Joey Jordison doesn't waste time, he runs into Starr, taking her down with a spear. The crowd boo's out aloud as Joey Jordison gets up and lays in with heavy boot stomps on Starr. Jordison looks around at the fans and then points to Starr, the crowd boos as he grabs her from the hair and drags her up. Joey Jordison stands Starr up and waits her to get her mind together, he kicks her in the gut, goes for the stunner, but no Starr holds back, lifts Jordison on her shoulder and back drops him down onto the canvas.

JR: What a come back from Starr.... and ah, Joey Jordison was going for a quick finish, planning his trademark move, the Stunner...

King: Starr doesn't look so well JR... maybe I should go up there and check if she has a boo boo.

JR: Somehow I imagine she'll manage without.

King: Spoil sport.

Starr picks up Joey Jordison, holds him by the head and hits him face first with a Bulldog DDT. It looks as if this match has changed course, Starr picks up Joey Jordison and sends him to the ropes, no luck, Jordison holds on to the ropes, breaking the run. Starr makes a run for Joey Jordison, he kicks her in the gut and Evenflow DDT's her to the canvas. What a move, Joey Jordison goes for the pin, 1...2.... no Starr kicks out, Jordison pins her down again, 1....2.... Starr grabs a hold of the ropes this time, the referee paces Jordison back as Starr gets up with rope support.

JR: Well Jordison has the game in hand again... and you have to remember the goal that all these superstars are going for tonight ladies and gentlemen... it's the race for the title, and these two want to make it to the next round... for at least a shot at the Hardcore title, though th main prize is at the end of the table...

King: I think Starr would make a good champion... Those legs and that body, ohhhh boy... would be look great with that golden belt.

JR: ....

Jordison climbs on the outside and lifts the apron up under the ring, he pulls out a chair and slides back into the ring. Starr gets up and takes a throw of a punch at Joey Jordison, its a miss, he dodges, grabs her from behind and hits a German Suplex. That had to hurt, Joey pins again, 1....2....... Starr gets the shoulder up.

JR: What resilience from Starr, she's the only female in this tournament, and she will be giving it all she has.

King: She's also the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen... I mean most gorgeous woman in the tournament. C'mon JR, you can't deny her that... she's won the looks contest.

JR: Well I don't think any manly wrestler can compare... so in that sense King, I'd say you'd be right.

King: Woo hoo!

Jordison picks up the chair, Starr is on her knees, crawling to get up. The referee is warning him to not use the chair. What's this? Scott Steiner is coming down the ramp. The fans are cheering as he runs down the ramp. Joey Jordison pushes the referee out of the way, Starr gets up on her feet, Joey swings the chair, but wait, Steiner grabs a hold of it and pulls it out of Joey Jordisons hands. Jordison is irate, he turns around, Starr kicks him in the gut, hoists him onto her shoulders and hits her finisher, Kiss This. Starr pins Joey Jordison, the referee goes down to the mat for the count, 1.....2............3!! "Bring Me To Life" hits again as Scott Steiner lifts Starr up and raises her arm in victory.

Winner - Starr via Pinfall

JR: Starr is the first person through to the next round of the EWF Tournament, no matter what... whether she loses next week or not, she has a definite spot for the Hardcore Title, and things can only get better for her.... with assistance from Scott Steiner, Starr is through.

King: Woo hoo, that means we get to see more of Starr next week.

JR: Folks we're going to go onto a commercial break right now, don't go anywhere

The scene opens up backstage, Tormentor walks into his office, to find Hollywood Hogan there, watching TV.

Tormentor: Whoa brother... shouldn't you be getting ready, you got Mattitude Welch later. He ain't no Icon, this one has the title in his sights.

Hogan: Who?

Tormentor: That's what I thought....

Hogan: You know what brother, I don't see why I should face this dude, he ain't in Hollywood's league... I got his number, why not just skip the match brother and put me through to the next round. It's as good as mine.

Tormentor: You know I can't do that... I've had too many people up my ass about the Dark Rider/ Davie J match last Justice... people think I fixed the match, I can't afford to play favourites, besides your Hollywood, you built this house.... you can design it how you want. Go and show that kid this is your creation... you got his number don't you.

Hogan: Whoa brother.... are you saying you ain't got Hollywood's back?

Tormentor: I got your back... but I can't wave you a win.

Hogan: That ain't good for business dude... I'm raking your ratings in dude, you know you gotta keep your better talent with more care brother.

Tormentor: I don't play the puppet in this game... I never have, I never will.

Hollywood Hogan gets up, walks up face to face with Tormentor, the two stare eachother dead in the eye.

JR: It doesn't look like their alliance is going to last long King...

King: Oh no!! Arrrgh! This is terrible JR.

Hollywood Hogan nods his head and walks off, closing the office door behind him. Tormentor stands there, looking on. The scene fades and comes back to JR and Jerry Lawler at ringside.

JR: Well I don't know what you can expect of that folks... Hollywood Hogan thought he could be put through to the next stage without going through the match, what an egomaniac King...

King: But he's Hollywood, JR.... he's the man, he's allowed to do what he wants.

JR: Well you know what kind of person Tormentor is... They're both men that don't like playing the other persons pawn....

SCOTT STEINER VS. ICON - EWF TOURNAMENT: 1ST STAGE

"Act a Fool" by Ludacris hits, the fans cheer. Scott Steiner makes his way out onto the stage, flexing his muscles on the stage for the fans before walking down the ramp.

JR: Well we ah.... saw Big Poppa Pump earlier folks when he assisted Starr with a righteous win over Joey Jordison.

King: I got the idea you didn't like people interfering in matches JR?

JR: Joey Jordison was going to use a chair on Starr, in that case... It's excusable, Steiner didn't interfere...

King: Yes he did... if he didn't Starr would be in a hospital right now rather than celebrating in the back.

JR: Yeah, but he didn't interfere after that...he acted fairly.

Scott Steiner slides into the ring, he climbs on the turnbuckle, flexing his biceps some more, the fans are cheering him on. "People Hate Me"by Murderdolls interrupts Scott Steiner as Icon makes his way to the ring, the fans in a mix of emotion for him. He walks down that ramp with Steiner to the eye.

JR: Well we all know what happened last week to Icon, he was set up by Hollywood Hogan and Tormentor... This time round, he can't afford to lose, this is the tournament. He has that same chance as Hogan still.

King: Tormentor said it last week JR.... Hollywood will be the first ever EWF Champion, this tournament is all for crowning the Intercontinental and Hardcore Champions.

JR: Well from what we saw just after we came back.... Tormentor and Hogan had quite a disagreement.

King: Just a hiccup... you'll see.

JR: Alright and both men are in the ring, Icon.... 6"2, 228lbs taking on the 6"2 255lbs Steiner, no difference in height here folks, it's between the weight and the wrestling technique.

The bells rings and the match begins. Scott Steiner swings his right arm, going for a punch, but Icon blocks and comes back with a straight away flurry of attacks on Steiner. Icon now swings Steiner to the ropes, runs and Dropkicks Scott Steiner down to the floor.

JR: Icon certainly isn't going to waste time here tonight... he doesn't want a repeat of last EWF Justice.

King: What happened last Justice?

JR: You know very well King, when Hollywood Hogan and Tormentor took out Icon like a street dog.

King: Well JR, if you look like a dog... you're treated like a dog.

Icon picks Scott Steiner up, goes for the suplex, not good enough. Steiner seems too strong still for it and Steiner reverses the attempt with his own Snap Suplez. The fans cheer, Scott Steiner is up now and he picks up Icon onto his feet, holds on to him and hits a Belly to Belly Suplex, that was a good one, Steiner going for a cover, 1....2.. no Icon kicks out with ease. Scott Steiner gets up, bringing Icon up with him. He throws a punch to Icon, and again and then picks him over his head with both arms, slams him down, what a beautiful Body Press Drop.

JR: Big Poppa Pump.... giving us a true idea of why he's called it.

King: People also call him the freak machine... you reckon there's truth in that too JR?

JR: Well I don't know... could well be.

Scott Steiner poses to the fans, flexing his muscles more and this man likes to show off. Steiner picks up Icon off his knees and swings him to the ropes, Steiner goes for the Clothesline, Icon ducks and comes back with a Jumping Jaw Breaker. Both men are down now, the referee begins to count them out, 1......2......3......4......5..... 6.....7..... both men begin to stir now. Scott Steiner gets up onto his feet, as does Icon, they both turn around swinging for eachother, double clothesline and both men are down again.

JR: What a series of events taking place here folks... these two men both want to pass into the next round.

King: Well whoever wins this match tonight JR, has Starr as their opponent the week after. Imagine if Scott Steiner won tonight... the love bubble will burst HA HA!

JR: It could very well be Scott Steiner who wins... he's been giving the most offensive so far.

The referee has been counting both men again, 4.....5.....6....7.....8.... Scott Steiner gets up, as does Icon. Steiner takes a step forward, Icon kicks hitting the Ego Smack. Scott Steiner falls back onto the canvas, Icon pins, 1...2..... what? Icon gets off the pin, he's not finished. Icon is shaking his head as he points to the turnbuckle, the fans are cheering.

King: Arrrrgh! JR look!.... Icons going on the turnbuckle.

JR: I don't know why he's doing this, the match was his... Icon hit the finisher. but it seems he's giving the fans what they want.

Icon jumps on the turnbuckle, leaps and hits the Icon Factor (Five Star Frosplash into Swanton Bomb) and now the pin, 1.....2............3!!! "People Hate Me" hits again as Icon lies on the ground, recovering from the leap.

Winner - Icon via Pinfall

JR: Well he's lucky he managed to get the hit on the flying maneuver, and what a maneuver it was... Icon is through to the next round of the EWF tournament, and even if he loses, he's got a chance for the EWF Hardcore title at this stage

King: He was lucky JR... I bet Tormentor will be surprised Icon got through.

JR: I'm sure it'll be on his mind... we're going to take a quick break before the next match folks. We'll be back shortly for the match between 'The Chosen One' Shane Matthews and Ryder Jackson.

King: Don't go away...

The show cuts to a commercial break.
 

EWF BREAKING THE HABIT
JULY 25TH 2003
ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW
 

The show comes back on air to JR and King sitting at ringside.

JR: Welcome back folks, and we've just heard recent rumours that Suicide has decided to leave the EWF... this is just the latest news we've heard since the break. Well we know that Suicide was scheduled for a match against Jeff Jarrett, no one has seen a sight of Jeff Jarrett yet....

King: Now now JR.... Tormentor promised that Jeff Jarrett would be here tonight, he doesn't disappoint.

JR: Well I've known Tormentor a while King... he's as crafty, caniving backstabber.

King: Arrrrgh! How can you say that... he pays your salary! Your so ungreatful JR!

JR: He pays the salary sure... it doesn't change anything though King and you know it.

King: Name one thing Tormentor has promised and not delivered yet?

JR: Don't you start that King... you know very well so far, he's kept to his word. Anyhow, up next folks we have The Chosen One against the Ryder Jackson.

King: What a great guy JR.... Shane Matthews, he's.... he's the Chosen One! haa!

JR: Yeah well.... Tormentor stated in the fansite interview that he thought there's talent in Shan Matthews, I guess we're going to see what the kids got tonight.

King: You know it makes sense JR, he wouldn't be the Chosen One otherwise...

JR: Yeah right! If any of you folks at home want to check out the interview with Tormentor and the fansite, just be sure to go to the Fansite and check out the interviews section there.

SHANE MATTHEWS VS. RYDER JACKSON - EWF TOURNAMENT: 1ST STAGE

"Head Strong" by Trapt hits, the fans begin to boo as 'The Chosen One' Shane Matthews comes out onto the stage.

JR: Well here he is... Shane Matthews, 27 years of age, 6"4, 265lbs. In incredible condition but I must say King.... we've heard Ryder say it before, nothing will stand in his way.

King: Yeah but he hasn't come face to face with Matthews yet, Ryder Jackson goes on and on about everyone talking high about themselves... and then does it himself.

JR: None the less King, he's right when he says it's what counts in the ring that'll get you forward.

Shane Matthews slides into the ring and awaits his opponent. "X Is Gonna Give It To Ya" by DMX hits, the fans explode into cheers as Ryder Jackson makes his way out. He looks around, looking full of energy and then jogs down the ramp.

JR: Ryder looks like he's ready, concentrated and full of energy... then again, so does Shane Matthews at this moment. It's gonna be a close one.

Ryder Jackson climbs into the ring and jumps up onto the turnbuckle, as the fans cheer him on. Ryder jumps down and both men stand infront of eachother, face to face. The referee calls for the bell, it rings and the match begins. Both men stand in the ring staring eachother eye to eye. The tension is filling the arena and all the chants and boo's die down, both men stand there, arguing with eachother and whoa, its begins, both burst into a mix of punches, and the fists are flying everywhere. Both men are showing no sign of giving in. The advantage comes to Ryder Jackson now, who throws a couple more fists and swings Shane Matthews to the ropes, goes for a clothesline, Mattews dodges runs onto the other ropes, and both end up clothes lining eachother. The referee begins to count them out, 1.....2...

JR: What a beginning folks, you can see the dedication both men have right here.

King: ....

6....7.... Ryder Jackson begins to get up, Shane Matthews is on his knees. Ryder gets up on his feet, walks over to Matthews who is picking himself up, but Ryder Jackson kicks him in the gut, winding Matthews back down, Mattews rolls and gets back on his knees, Ryder swings his foot again into Shane Matthews stomach, and that is just blowing the energy out of the Chosen One right there.

King: Oh no... look what that Ryder Jackson is doing.

JR: Very tactical King... wearing your opponent down.

Ryder Jackson picks up Shane Matthews, holds on to the grapple and delivers a Snap Suplex, Ryder goes for a pin, 1...2.... Matthews kicks out, a little too soon by the looks of it. Ryder Jackson gets up, he pulls Matthews up, throws a couple of jabs and swings him to the turnbuckle. Shane Matthews slams into the turnbuckle, Ryder walks up to him, throwing a few more kicks into the gut. Ryder sets up Shane Matthews into a tree of woe, the fans begin to cheer as Ryder walks over to the opposite corner signaling to the fans. Ryder runs towards Matthews, nailing him with a Dropkick in the face. Matthews drops to the canvas, the fans are screaming wildly.

King: Arrrgh! Shane Matthews face has been disfigured by Ryder Jacksons boot. This is tragic JR... do something!

JR: What am I supposed to do? Skillful maneuver there from Ryder Jackson, one that I'm sure will hurt each and everytime it's done.

Ryder Jackson gets up, he drags Shane Matthews to the middle of the ring, goes for a pin, 1.....2.... no Shane gets his shoulder off the mat. Ryder looks at the referee, it's a two count. He gets up and picks up Matthews again, whip to the rope, goes for the Jumping Heel Kick. Shane Matthews dodges the kick, goes off to the other ropes, comes back with a clothesline. Stroke of luck for Matthews now, goes for a pin, 1...2... Ryder's still fresh, he kicks out. Matthews gets up, as does Ryder. Shane Matthews throws a few jabs at Ryder, knocking him back, now the grapple and Ryder is set up, Piledriver by Matthews, that had to hurt. Shane Matthews gets up, he shouts at the crowd, pointing to himself, they all boo as he walks around Ryder and throws a few stomps Ryder's way.

JR: The tide has changed for Ryder byt the looks of it... and you can really see the fight these two are putting out tonight, well... everyone is putting out tonight. It's a race to the top and a lose doesn't do anyone favours at this point.

King: You said it JR, no one likes a Loser.

JR: People like you don't they?

King: You know it....... I hope that wasn't a remark JR! Tormentor wouldn't like you insulting his favourite employee.

JR: You must mean his only Corporate butt kisser.

Shane Matthews locks in a Single Leg Crab on Ryder, the referee checks on Ryder Jackson, he won't quit though. Shane Matthews applying the pressure on that leg, Ryder sreaming out aloud, refusing to give up. Pressure is being applied on that leg, a painful move I'm sure. Ryder lifts his body up using his arms, trying to crawl to the ropes, Shane Matthews puts more pressure in. Ryder Jackson drops down to the mat again, and the referee is asking him if he'll quit, Ryder refuses, lifting his body again, crawling to those ropes and his fingers are touching, he needs to grab a hold of it though. Ryder struggles, he crawls and grabs the rope. The referee orders Shane Matthews off, he won't budge, he's applying the pressure, the referee counts, 1...2....3... Shane Matthews lets go. The fans boo now, Matthews has had enough, he signals the finisher, Ryder uses the ropes to get up. Ryder Jackson turns around, swings his arm for the Chosen One, but he misses, Shane Matthews spins him around, Golden Grain! (Downward Spiral) The pin, the referee begins the count, Matthews lifts his feet up onto the ropes, 1...2.....3! The referee didn't see a thing, Shane Matthews wins the match, "Head Strong" blasts all around again. Matthews is celebrating, his first win and he's through to the next round.

Winner - 'The Chosen One' Shane Matthews via Pinfall

JR: Did you see that! Shane Matthews used the ropes.... that's not fair!

King: He did? when? I didn't see anything like that.

JR: You don't see anything... He used the ropes to keep Ryder Jackson down.

King: 'The Chosen One' isn't capable of that JR.... he plays fair.

JR: Don't give me that King.

King: What I saw there was a genuine match played fair.... unlike earlier when Scott Steiner interfered in Joey Jordisons match, now that wasn't fair!

JR: I can't believe this... folks we're going on a commercial break, up next we have Suicide vs. Jeff Jarrett, what will happen... who knows, will we see Jeff Jarrett, will he get through automatically... I don't know.

The scene fades
 

EWF JUSTICE
LET THE RING BE THE JUDGE AND JURY
EVERY THURSDAY ONLY ON TNN
 

The scene opens up backstage, Michael Cole comes up to Tormentor.

MC: Tormentor, judging from the recent occurrence that Suicide has decided to leave the EWF... what will happen now? Is Jeff Jarrett even here tonight... if he is, does he get an automatic pass into the next round?

Tormentor: No one can get an automatic pass to the next round Cole, it's as simple as that... another opponent who will be suitable enough will just have to take the place of Suicide instead.

MC: What about Jeff Jarrett... no one has seen him yet anywhere.

Just then Jeff Jarrett walks up to Tormentor, you can hear the fans in the arena scream and cheer as Jarrett shows himself.

MC: Jeff Jarrett! I ah.....

Jarrett: Who's this.... Tormentor, which way is the ring?

Tormentor: Oh it's that way Jeff.... good luck!

Jarrett: I won't need it.

Tormentor smirks and then looks back to Michael Cole, who is near about speechless.

MC: Well ah.... I guess that proves that Tormentor keeps his word as promised, but who is this opponent up against Jeff Jarrett.... is he here tonight? Does Jeff Jarrett even know who it is?

Tormentor: Now that would be telling Cole...

Tormentor carries on smirking and walks off.

The screen cuts back to JR and King at ringside.

JR: Wow did you see that folks, Jeff Jarrett is here tonight... what a surprise for the whole EWF, also a mystery opponent, who it is... no one knows.

King: You see JR... Tormentor doesn't disappoint, and a mystery opponent, it can only be another name.... do you think it's the Brooklyn Brawler?

JR: Some how King... I doubt it.

JEFF JARRETT VS. MYSTERY OPPONENT - EWF TOURNAMENT: 1ST STAGE

"The Chosen One" hits, the crowd scream wildly as Jeff Jarrett comes out onto the stage, holding his ever famous acoustic guitar. He walks down the ramp, shouting and stopping to the fans.

JR: The man himself King... and what an addition to the EWF, more famous than any Suicide or Dark Rider.... Jeff Jarrett.

King: You know what I noticed JR.... Jarrett calls himself the Chosen One too, Shane Matthews wont be too happy.

Jarrett slides into the ring and climbs up onto the turnbuckle, his lips move, but what he says is silenced by the fans and the music. He climbs down and speaks to the announcer, the announcer shakes his head. Jeff Jarrett takes off his t-shirt and puts the guitar down by the side of the ring.

JR: And now we're waiting for the opponent folks... We have no idea who it is, they'll be taking Suicide's spot in the tournament and, I don't think that even Jarrett knows.

King: He was probably asking the announcer if he knew.... I guess the only one who knows, is Tormentor! Arrgh! You don't suppose Tormentor is the mystery opponent do you JR?

JR: Well I wouldn't put it past him... we all know Tormentor is a wrestler, he may be putting himself in the race for the title.

VOICE: IF YOU SMEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL LA LA LA LOOWW....

King: ARRRGH!

VOICE: WHAT THE BROCK! IS BAKIN'?

"Alive" by P.O.D hits, the fans rise to their feet, the screams are extatic. The Brock comes out onto the stage, looking at the fans. The cameras flash everywhere, what a blinding moment.

JR: I don't believe it... Brock, THE BROCK! has joined the EWF!! Former PWWF and EWA superstar, what we thought was an enemy to Tormentor... has now joined the very business.... Tormentor is running.

King: ARRRGH! It's the Brock!... and that's just what it is JR.... business!!!

Brock climbs into the ring and walks past Jeff Jarrett, staring him in the eyes, he climbs up the turnbuckle and raises his arm in the air. The fans are cheering so loud, what a standing ovation for the Brock. He climbs down and circles the ring, looking at Jeff Jarrett square in the eyes.

JR: And look at Jeff Jarrett, he must be irate about this... he thought he'd be getting a minor replacement for Suicide, instead... he gets bigger!

King: Just as you say JR.... I think business has just picked up! ha ha!

The crowds calm down, the referee talks to both Jarrett and the Brock, the bell rings and the two break out into a flurry of fists, but the Brock gains the advantage, slap to the face, and again, spits in his hand and smacks it to Jarrett. The fans cheer and the Brock chants appear, Brock looks around and then to Jarrett. The Hell-a-stomps break out as Brock lays it into Jarrett.

JR: Would you look at the electricity flowing all around the arena King... especially the Brock, he's taking Jarrett out.

Brock picks up Jarrett and throws him outside. The fans are still cheering here, Jeff Jarrett gets up, he doesn't like this. He grabs the guitar and slides it inside, then climbs into the ring himself. Jarrett gets up and walks over to the Brock, lays a punch, and another, makes a grapple and into a Small Package, 1...2... Brock gets out of it, what an unexpected move. Jarrett gets up, grabs the Brock, goes for the Shortarm Clothesline, misses, Brock kicks him in the gut and hits the Publics DDT, the pin 1...2... Jarrett kicks out.

JR: What a quick paced match King.... could possibly be a slobber knocker.

King: Slobber? Only when Starr is around! he he...

Brock gets up, stomps on Jarrett and then picks him up. Jarrett rakes the Brock in the eyes, picks up the guitar, the crowd boo out aloud. The referee tries preventing Jarrett, It matters not, Jeff Jarrett is too irate about having the Brock as his opponent. Brock takes a step forward, and the Guitar Shot goes right on the Brock.

The referee orders the bell to be rung. Jeff Jarrett doesn't care, he's laying those fists into the Brock. He grabs Brock, hits the Stroke, goes to the legs, Figure 4 Leglock. Brock is screaming out loud now. Jeff Jarrett applies that pressure as hard as he can now. Officials come running out, I think they're going to take Jarrett away. Jeff Jarrett gets pulled off and he walks off, grabbing a mic from the announcer.

Winner - Brock via Disqualification

Jarrett: Tonight was meant to be MY night Brock... not yours! That's what you get for messing with the Chosen Ones plans... How do you like that? Slap Nut!

Jarrett tosses the mic away, "Chosen One" hits and he climbs out of the ring, walking up the ramp.

JR: Did you hear that.... Jarrett is annoyed at Brock for spoiling his debut.

King: Well Jeff Jarrett was meant to be the big attraction tonight JR... and then someone like Brock comes and takes the lime light from Jeff Jarrett, you can understand how he feels.

JR: Well the guitar shot was uncalled for...

King: ....

JR: Either way folks... it seems that Brock is through to the next round now, and later on tonight, we'll be seeing who his opponent is.... HBK? or Davie J?

King: That's right... Icon vs. Icon. I can't wait, that's going to be a good match.

JR: We're just going to take you outside in the parking lot folks, its presumed that Hollywood Hogan has driven off tonight. We'll take just show right now what happened while this match was taking place.

The scene cuts to a black limo in the parking lot, its just there for a few moments, then the engine starts up and it drives off.

King: That was it?

JR: That's all that was seen... but it was said that Hollywood Hogan was in there, if so... its a sign that he won't be showing for his match tonight. We're going to go on our last commercial break folks.... see you in a few minutes.

The scene fades cutting to the commercials.

MATTITUDE WELCH VS. HOLLYWOOD HOGAN - EWF TOURNAMENT : 1ST STAGE

The scene opens up to "For Whom The Bells Toll" by Metallica and Mattitude Welch is standing in the ring, waiting for his opponent.

JR: Welcome back folks, you're just in time... rumours are that Hollywood Hogan has left the arena. Obviously he believes that he doesn't have to fight Mattitude, he tried getting Tormentor to advance him to the next round without going through the match... Tormentor didn't have it.

King: Now now JR.... they're just rumours.

JR: Not all of it King. Tormentor stated earlier that everyone has an opponent... so who is Mattitude's opponent going to be?

The stage lights go blue, the crowd silences.

King: We're going to find out JR.

"Numb" by Linkin Park blares through the arena, the crowd boo, it can't be, it is. Tormentor walks out onto the stage, he's in wrestling attire, but he's holding a microfone. Mattitude doesn't look too happy, his opponent is his own boss. Tormentor walks down the ramp.

King: Ha ha.... JR look, it's Tormentor. Business has just picked up..... AGAIN!!!

JR: I can't believe this... Tormentor is taking Hogans place by the looks of it.

Tormentor climbs into the ring, he circles around Mattitude Welch like a vulture, he holds the mic up to speak, the crowd goes quiet.

Tormentor: It seems that Hollywood Hogan won't be competing tonight.... So that put the Man, the Myth and the Legend on the spot.... and it's put you Matty boy, with a choice. Heads.... you take on the Man, the Myth and the Legend, he beats you from pillar to post, here to there, past to present... and you have no choice but an early disabled retirement. Tales.... you take on the Man, the Myth and the Legend, he beats you from pillar to post again and you lose the match...

JR: What an option...

King: Seems fair.

JR: You would think that.

Tormentor: Or... you can take the edge of the coin, skip this match, go on to the next round, Hogan gets counted out, but... you stay indebted to the Man, the Myth and the Legend.... regardless of your further progress.

King: Chance of a life time.... take the edge of the coin!

JR: I don't know, somehow I have a feeling Mattitude could be signing his soul to devil here...

King: C'mon JR.... Tormentor is far off from the devil.

JR: Yeah.... far worse.

Mattitude looks around at the fans, they're chanting "JUST SAY NO JUST SAY NO". Tormentor extends his hand out, will Mattitude shake it, he looks at Tormentors had and thinks about the offer.

Tormentor: It's the next round.... that's Shane Matthews in the next round.

Mattitude nods his head, he turns around and walks off, but quickly turns back and shakes Tormentors hand. "For Who The Bells Toll" hits.

Winner - Mattitude Welch via Count Out

JR: I have a feeling Mattitude will regret that further down the line.

King: Ahhhh you have a feeling about everything.... Mattitude is a bright guy, he knows a good offer when he sees it.

JR: I don't know... Anyway folks, up next is Main Event match.

King: Oh boy!

JR: Icon vs. Icon, HBK vs. Davie J.... and it's practically one of three titles on the line. It's a qualifying spot to the next round of the tournament.

King: I've got my money down already.... or should I say Apples! Ha ha

JR: It's a tough one to call... both men are extraordinary athletes, it's why this is the main event match.

SHAWN MICHAELS VS. DAVIE J - EWF TOURNAMENT : 1ST STAGE

"Sexy Boy" hits, the crowd cheer as Shawn Michaels dances his way onto the stage. He comes down the ramp in his usual manner, greeting fans and then climbing into the ring. He does the whole HBK taunt as the fireworks explode behind him.

JR: Well this is Shawn Michaels first match in the EWF... and probably the biggest he'll face at the moment, he knows who is opponent is, we all do... He calls himself the Icon, his head has grown big enough to store his ego...

King: Quit with the insults and come out with the compliments JR... he's the greatest wrestler alive, next to Tormentor, an myself of course...

JR: ...

"Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machines hits, the crowd begin to boo, the cameras still flash all around the arena like stars. The signs come up into show, Davie J comes out onto the stage, with an apple to hand.

JR: Oh boy... here we go.

Davie J takes a bite out of the apple, looking down at HBK casually. He walks down the ramp, judging each sign he see's as he goes down. He nods his head and then slides into the ring, he gets up and takes another bite out of the apple, chewing onto it. The referee keeps the two distant, Davie J takes another bike out of the apple, tosses it to Shawn Michaels and spits the apple bits in his mouth onto HBK's face, then knocks him down with a fist to the face. Davie J then begins to stomp on HBK, the referee tries to control Davie J, sets him back, the bell rings and now the match begins.

JR: What a sick individual.

King: That's just smart JR... take your opponent out before the match, its all legal.

JR: That it is.

Davie J grabs HBK, sends him to the ropes, slaps him down with a chop to the chest. Obviously Davie is taking this match lightly, he grabs Shawn Michaels and hits him with a Powerslam, goes for the pin, 1...2... Michaels kicks out, no one expects it to end that soon. Davie J gets up on his feet, he stomps on HBK before lifting him up, sets up for a suplex, but HBK reverses and hits back on Davie J with a Suplex. Shawn Michaels gets up on his feet slowly, shakes himself off and mounts over Davie J, laying on a number of fists, the referee counts to four and Michaels gets off.

JR: I have to say though, most of the matches tonight, such pace.... so many times have tables changed, but it really does show what everyone here is fighting for.

HBK picks up Davie J, irish whips him, brings him back smacking him with a Shoulder Block, Davie J falls down, HBK goes for a pin, 1...2... Davie J kicks out, no surprise. HBK gets up, picks up Davie J, sets him up for the Piledriver, Davie J still strong, lifts HBK up and tosses him over his shoulder. Davie J now back in control, stomping on HBK. Picks up Shawn Michaels, sets him up and hits a Powerbomb, goes for a pin, Davie J lifts his feet up on the rope, 1....2.... the referee catches sight of Davie and stops the count. Davie J ignores the warning and lifts Shawn Michaels up. Davie J holds on to HBKs hair, takes him to ropes and runs his face down the rope, that must burn.

JR: Ah come on... thats not right!

King: What isn't?

JR: He's rubbing Shawn Michaels face along the ropes.

King: He's just helping Michaels get up JR.

Davie J takes Michaels to the next rope, runs his HBK's face down that and then slams him into the turnbuckle. Davie J taunts to the fans, they boo out aloud as he turns around and goes back to HBK. Shawn Michaels is getting up now, Davie walks over to him, HBK springs a Clothesline out, knocking Davie J down. HBK gets up, lifts up Davie J and hits a DDT followed by a Leg Drop.

JR: What a nice come back by the Heart Break Kid... and you have to imagine folks, this isn't just about advancing to the next round, these two are battling it out over who's the better Icon.

King: Come on now JR.... You know Davie J is the Icon here, he's renamed wrestling.

JR: I'll give you credit.... he's a great athlete, when assisted with chairs and cheap tricks, both men are experienced.... both now what you can do and whats available.

HBK picks up Davie J, sends him to the ropes and hits Scoop Slam on Davie J. He shows the signal to the fans and goes over to the corner of the ring, stomping his foot on the ground every few seconds. Davie J slowly gets up, looks toward HBK, Shawn Michaels goes for the Sweet Chin Music, Davie J evades it, HBK turns around and Davie J comes back with the Wake Up Call (Superkick). The fans can't believe it, Davie J leans on the ropes, grabs his breath back and then walks over to HBK, covers him the pin, no gets up, places his foot over HBK, what a cocky pin, the referee counts, 1....2....3! Davie J stands up, "Wake Up" hits again.

Winner - Davie J via Pinfall

JR: Davie J is through to the next round.... it's going to be Davie J vs. The Brock next week for the qualifying round, and I can't believe it King, that's gonna be a slobberknocker folks.

King: w00h00 Davie J is through to the next round... pay up JR.

JR: Pay up what?

King: The bet, I bet Davie J ws gonna win...

JR: I didn't make a bet with you...

King: but...

Davie J celebrates in the ring. He calls for a can, he gets thrown it, he opens it and pours the drink into his mouth.

JR: Is that beer?

King: Arrgh! Alchoholic

Davie J throws the can away, asks for another, gets thrown another, asks for another, he gets another, Davie J opens the cans up and walks over to HBK with a mic in hand.

Davie: Hey sad-sac! How do you like them apples!?

Davie J pours the the two cans onto HBK. The crowd begin to boo as "Wake Up" hits again. Davie J laughs as he walks off out off, climbing out of the ring.

JR: You know, that doesn't look like beer...

King: Ah ha ha ha It's Apple Juice... Shawn Michaels just got his first apple bath.

JR: Davie J there showing off his true colours... drenching apple juice all over Shawn Michaels, who I know for a fact, will not be too happy with that outcome. Folks we're out of time... See you next week, I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler. Have a good night folks.

The scene cuts to Davie J walking up the ramp laughing and then fades.
