Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Contrary to DC, if you do bring in Hardy, I will give you my everlasting love. I'm a Hardy Boyz mark, and I love this thread, adding 2 and 2 = amazing shit.
Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Some great news there Para about the thread. Not surprised at how the Pain Chamber match is going to work, but LOL at the tables being added so Sabu can do something in the match. If booked right, Jeff coming to EPW can be something big. Looking forward to the upcoming PPV, and the upcoming show that will be in FULL. Drop me a PM when it's posted, and I'll try to review it.

Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Hey mate all the news is looking fucking sexy and it looks like Forsaken is going to be a huge success. Hopefully it is not Jeff Hardy coming in and i was really happy to hear that Kurt Angle has extended his contract. This thread is absolute GOLD PARA!!!
Before the show commences, we are shown some highlights of last week’s Enslaved live from Canada. First we see Muhammad Hassan lighting the Canadian Flag on fire to a tonne of heat from the Canadian fans, then Monty Brown and Samoa Joe beating the shit out of CM Punk and Terry Funk, we then see Hernandez throwing the lifeless body of Roderick Strong on top of Shelton Benjamin, thus giving Strong a victory, we see the early exchanges of the Battle Royal between Edge and Kurt Angle as they beat the shit out of each other until Rob Van Dam eliminated them both, we then see everyone in the Battle Royal eliminate Brock Lesnar before we get a shot AJ Styles hitting the Styles Clash on Chris Jericho to pick up a huge victory in the lead up to Forsaken and then we see a final shot of AJ Styles atop the aisle in the closing seconds of last weeks’ show, the Canadian fans bellowing out a chant of “AJ... AJ... AJ”
The EPW logo then flashes up on the screen as Enslaved’s appropriately titled theme song - Motley Crue’s “ENSLAVED” blares and we see talent such as CM Punk with the Anaconda Vice locked in, Rhino hitting the Gore, Chris Jericho with The Walls of Jericho applied, Lesnar’s F5, Angle with an Ankle Lock secured tightly, Christian hitting the Unprettier, RVD hitting the 5 Star Frog Splash, Samoa Joe hitting the Muscle Buster and finally Edge nailing a Spear then holding up his Championship belt as the camera pans into the arena and we get a pan of the crowd until our commentators cut in.
Styles: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another huge night of EPW’s Enslaved! We are 4 days away from what is set to be a monumental Pay Per View event – Forsaken! Last week EPW went Canadian and Kevin Nash, what a show it was!
Nash: Indeed it was Styles, I’ll never forget it man. AJ Styles picked up what is without a doubt, the biggest victory in his career and picked up some much needed momentum heading into the biggest MATCH of his career!
Styles: That was definitely an upset in my books, then we also had the questionable actions of Muhammad Hassan and Daivari, who set the Canadian flag on fire before spraying Capsicum spray in the eyes of Christian Cage who raced out to the ring to defend the honour of his country.
With that said, a huge eruption echoes through the Hammerstein Ballroom as **SINNER** hits and the boss, Paul Heyman makes his way clad in his famous trench coat, with his baseball clap donned upon his head. A massive “PAULIE... PAULIE... PAULIE” chant sounds through the arena as Heyman enters the ring and retrieves a microphone.
Heyman: Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you, good evening, thank you for joining us in what is set to be another landmark episode of Enslaved.
Cheap pop.
Heyman: I won’t take up much of your time tonight, I just have two quick announcements and it’ll be on with the show!
Heyman pauses.
Heyman: As you are all aware, this weekend at Forsaken, we will see the debut of the “Pain Chamber” match! 8 men, 2 starting in the ring and the remaining 6 entering from a glass pod every 3 minutes! SO! The question before us ladies and gentlemen is this... WHO are the two unlucky participants that will enter this match first?!
Heyman pauses once more.
Heyman: After much deliberation, I have decided that in the interests of fair play, the best way to determine the first two combatants in Pain Chamber is via a match! Therefore tonight, we will have ourselves a 4 Corner Tag Team Match where the team that takes the Pinfall will be the two people that enter the Pain Chamber first!
Minimal pop.
Heyman: So tonight, it will be Sabu teaming with... ROB... VAN... DAM!!!
HUGE POP for RVD and Sabu!
Heyman: versus Chris Jericho and... BROCK LESNAR!
Heat for Jericho and Lesnar.
Heyman: versus Rhino and KURT ANGLE!!
Another massive pop.
Heyman: versus AJ Styles and the EPW World Champion... EDGE!
Huge heat for Edge!
Heyman: That’s our Main Event for tonight ladies and gentlemen, and the other reason I am out here tonight is to discuss this weeks’ episode of Online Oblivion. Opposed to featuring 2 matches, this week it will feature three! Also, on Online Oblivion, all four of the participants in the Cruiserweight Title Fatal Fourway will be in action with Petey Williams going one on one with the undefeated, Jamie Noble and Kid Kash facing off against the Cruiserweight Champion, Austin Aries! Plus! The exciting young talent, who debuted last week on Online Oblivion, Matt Sydal will be in action! Don’t miss a very special edition of Online Oblivion, this Saturday night!
Minimal reaction.
Heyman: That’s all from me ton...
Heyman is then cut off when **JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES/MY LAST BREATH** hits and the fans become unglued as Christian Cage makes his way out to an absolutely deafening ovation with a microphone in hand. Dressed in his Captain Charisma jumpsuit, Cage soaks in the crowds ovation before bringing his microphone up to his mouth, ready to speak.
Christian: Paulie... Paulie, sorry to cut ya off like that man, but I was just sittin’ in the back, mindin’ my own business like I always do when I heard ya out here makin’ all these little matches for tonight and it got me thinkin’...
Christian pauses as Heyman looks on inquisitively from the ring.
Christian: Ya see, as you may or may not be aware, last week, my opponent for Forsaken decided it would be a good idea to (intensely) LIGHT... MY ... COUNTRY’S... FLAG ... ON ... FIRE!!!
Heat.
Christian: Muhammad Hassan, (sarcastically) being the national hero that he is, then decided that he would spray Capsicum Spray in my eyes and then beat hell outta me, right in that very ring in my OWN... HOME... TOWN! And in case you didn’t realise Paulie, that pissed me off! That really pissed me off!
Big pop.
Christian: So, I’ve come the conclusion Heyman, I’m done with waitin’, it’s not gonna be at Forsaken, it’s gonna be tonight; CHRISTIAN CAGE ONE ON ONE WITH MUHAMMAD HASSAN!!!
Another pop.
Heyman: Just hold on a second there Christian, I understand where you’re coming from but...
Christian: Woah... woah... WOAH! I know what’s next! “You can’t let that match happen tonight... blah blah blah” Well I say... THAT’S BULLSHIT! This isn’t about a guy spraying crap in my eyes, oh no, this is about much more than that, Paulie, and you know it!!
Christian pauses, steaming with anger.
Christian: (angrily) THIS IS ABOUT DEFENDING THE HONOUR... THE PRESTIGE... AND THE DIGNITY OF MY COUNTRY!! THERE’S NO ONE... NOT A DAMN PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO LIGHT THE FLAG OF ANY COUNTRY ON FIRE!! AND ESPECIALLY NOT THE FREAKIN’ CANADIAN FLAG!!
Heat for the actions of Hassan, as Cage calms down a little.
Christian: You need to understand Paul, that my heart bleeds for my peeps and last week, Hassan and Daivari, they pissed off every... single... Canadian in the World! I NEED to defend their honour! I need to prove to them that I’m not about to sit back and accept this garbage when it’s thrown at our Country!
Mixed reaction.
Christian: (More intensely then at any other stage during this segment) Muhammad Hassan... ya see, last week, you and your mistress did a lot more than just light a flag on fire, you lit a fire underneath me unlike any that’s ever been lit before! I promise you this... and Paulie, you can take note of this too, (beginning to shake with anger) AS SOON... as I get my hands on you, I’m gonna make you pay! I’m gonna make you suffer! I’m gonna kick your ass so bad that...
Heyman: (Cutting in) Christian, that’s enough. I hear you, I really do. You guessed though, I cannot and will not make that match happen tonight. It’s booked for the Pay Per View and it stays on the Pay Per View, what I can do for you tonight though, is book you in ANOTHER match, which I feel will satisfy you even more because you will not only be getting your hands on one of the men who lit your flag on fire, instead, both of them! It will be you Christian Cage taking on DAIVARI...
Heyman pauses for a moment as Christian looks a little pissed off.
Heyman: AND... MUHAMMAD HASSAN IN A 2 on 1 Handicap Match!!1
The fans erupt in a huge mixed reaction as **SINNER** hits once more while Christian Cage stands at the top of the aisle, looking slightly satisfied with the announcement because he realises he can get his hands on both of these animals tonight. Paul Heyman exits the ring before we head to our first commercial.
Commercial.
We return from commercial to find Muhammad Hassan and Daivari storming down a halwayl in the back until they barge through a door into what is then revealed to be Paul Heyman’s office, where the man himself is just sitting down following his promo just moments ago. Heyman looks pissed off at the two, just barging in and just when Hassan goes to speak, Daivari starts going crazy, yelling at the top of his lungs at Heyman in farci until Hassan then cuts in over the top.
Hassan: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! THIS SUNDAY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DAMN MATCHES... OF MY CAREER! AND YOU’RE PUTTING ME IN A MATCH... TONIGHT?!
Heyman: (Remaining calm)Yes, a TAG team match... I trust that’s not a problem.
Hassan: A problem... (laughs, before firing up) OF COURSE IT’S A FREAKIN’ PROBLEM! NOT ONLY ARE YOU HAVING ME FACE OFF AGAINST A GUY THAT WANTS TO RIP ME APART, LIMB BY LIMB... BUT YOU’RE NOT EVEN GIVING ME A CREDIBLE PARTNER!!!
Heat, as Daivari looks at Hassan sceptically before apparently agreeing (Owned) and yelling some random shit a little more.
Heyman: Gentlemen, you’ve waisted enough of time. You have 5 seconds to get your asses out of my office or I swear to god, I’ll fire you right here, right now!
We hear a big pop from the fans as Hassan and Daivari quickly hot foot it out of Heyman’s office before the camera then heads back out to the darkened arena as **MISERIA CANTARE** hits to a huge ovation and the Pacific Champion, CM Punk makes his way out with his black sports jacket on and Championship belt strapped around his waist. A massive chant of “CM PUNK... CM PUNK” bursts throughout the arena as the crowd favourite makes his way down to the ring.
Styles: The Pacific Champion, certainly looking very calm and confident here tonight, Kevin Nash!
Nash: He shouldn’t be confident, Shelton Benjamin is comin’ out here tonight to prove a point. He wants kick CM Punk’s ass and prove he’s not just a tag team wrestler.
Punk slides into the ring before climbing the nearest turnbuckle and holding his Championship gold up to the fans before **WORLDS GREATEST** hits to a decent pop and Shelton Benjamin makes his way out, minus Charlie Haas. Shelton swaggers down the ring in his red wrestling tights and leaps up on to the apron, before stepping confidently through the middle rope and into the ring.
Styles: This is a huge opportunity for Shelton Benjamin and one he certainly shouldn’t let slide. This...
Styles gets cut off unexpectedly as **ALPHA MALE**hits and Monty Brown makes his way down to the ring dressed in casual attire, apparently refusing to acknowledge the existence of CM Punk. Brown struts down the aisle and straight to the commentary booth.
Styles: Well this is certainly unex...
Nash: (cutting off Styles) The Alpha Male... MONTY BROWN! WELCOME TO RINGSIDE, MY MAN!
Brown: ‘Da Alpha Male is in ‘da buildin’ baby!
Styles: I take you’re down here scouting CM Punk before your big match this Sunday?
Brown: You could say ‘dat Styles, but it really don’t matter if I scout CM Punk or not ‘cause by ‘da end o’ Forsaken, CM Punk will have felt the POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUNCE! PERIOD!
Nash: Damn right, man!
Match 1 Singles Match; Non Title Pacific Champion, CM Punk v Shelton Benjamin
Punk and Shelton put on a quality encounter, given that they only get a small amount of time. Shelton tries to out-wrestle Punk for the most part and 5 minutes into the match, he has control of the Pacific Champion until he goes to whip Punk into the corner, but it’s reversed by the Champ and Benjamin crashes into the corner instead. Punk then charges swiftly across the ring and nails a running knee lift, cracking him right underneath the jaw! Wasting no time, Punk nails a Bulldog to Shelton Benjamin, planting him face first. CM Punk stalks Shelton, waiting for him to get back to his feet before nailing three backhanded chops and a swift side kick to the back of the head, but it doesn’t knock Shelton over! Punk halts his attack for a mere second, and Benjamin looks to seise the opportunity, going for a right hand but Punk ducks it and nails a Ura-nage Slam! The fans pop for Punk as he goes for the cover. 1... 2... NO! Shelton gets a shoulder up! Once again, the Champion stalks his opponent as he slowly looks to get back to his vertical base and when he makes it to one knee, Punk runs at the ropes, presumably in preparation for the Shining Wizard but as soon as he bounces back he catches a glimpse of MONTY BROWN CHARGING AT HIM LOOKING FOR THE POUNCE!!! PUNK DROPS TO THE MAT, AVOIDS THE POUNCE AND SENDS MONTY PLUMMETTING TO THE OUTSIDE TO A BIG POP! He takes a quick glance down at the man who will be his opponent in a few nights time but as he turns back to Shelton Benjamin charges at him and attempts a PAY DIRT... but Punk blocks it! Shelton comes at Punk again but the Champion whips him off the ropes and as Benjamin comes shooting back, Punk quickly hoists him up in a fireman’s carry position, (similar to how Shelton hoists his opponents up for a Samoan Drop when they’ve been whipped off the ropes) and promptly NAILS THE GO TO SLEEP!!! PUNK CONNECTS WITH THE GTS!! 1... 2... 3!
Winner: CM Punk @ 7:01
Punk slowly gets to his feet as **MISERIA CANTARE** hits again. The Pacific Champion then gets handed his title belt before he helps a very sore Shelton Benjamin back up to his feet. Punk and Shelton then shake hands and embrace in the ring until Punk then turns to Monty Brown who is making an exit up the aisle and holds his title up in the air with a huge grin on his face, leaving Monty with no rebuttal.
Styles: Big win for CM Punk tonight, Kevin Nash. Shelton Benjamin is no pushover, he’s certainly on his way to Forsaken on a roll!
Nash: Indeed and I for one hope he takes all this for granted and effectively lets Monty Brown steam roll him.
The camera then heads backstage where we find Charlie Haas watching proceedings in the ring, with Shelton climbing out through the ropes nursing a sore head. Haas just shakes his head, looking slightly disappointed as we head to a commercial.
Commercial
We return from commercial to find Christy Hemme standing by backstage.
Christy: Hi, I’m Christy Hemme, at this time, please welcome Mick Foley’s Forsaken opponent, “The American Dragon”, Bryan Danielson!
Danielson walks into shot to some decent heat.
Christy: Bryan, I wanted to get your thoughts heading into what is potentially the biggest match of your career in 4 nights at Forsaken?
Danielson: (arrogantly) And what exactly would you like me to tell you, Christy?
Christy: (Bemused by her question being turned into a question) Ah. Um. Well, are you nervous?
Danielson: HA! Am I nervous? Hell no! I don’t get nervous! When you’re as good as I am, you don’t need to get nervous... especially before a match with someone like Mick Foley!
Christy: Well... how do you feel about the fact that some people are saying that you’ve bought out a new Mick Foley, a Mick Foley that we’ve never seen before. The Hardcore Legend is showing a level of passion and intensity about this match that we’ve never seen before. How do you feel about that?
Danielson: Christy, I dunno what Mick’s got to be so pissed off about. All I did was speak the truth. I said he was old, washed up and out of shape and he didn’t like it.
Heat.
Danielson: Mick Foley is living in the past. He can’t handle the fact that he’s not at the top of this business anymore and he especially can’t handle the fact that someone actually had the balls to tell him instead of kissin’ his ass all the time!
More heat, to a higher level this time.
Danielson: Instead of takin’ this like a man though, he’s gotta make somethin’ of it. Mick should just accept that he’s gettin’ on in years and isn’t quite what he used to be and step away quietly, with his dignity intact... but now, there’s really no chance of that.
Danielson pauses, clearly very feeling very passionate about this topic.
Danielson: It’s time to face facts, Mick. It’s not 1996 anymore, this isn’t ECW. You’re past it. It’s time for you to pass the torch to the next generation of stars, namely... ME! BRYAN DANIELSON!
Heat once more.
Danielson: (Intensely) Oh and Mick, if you’re not willing to do that, I’m just going to have to beat the hell out of you until you do! People call you The Hardcore Legend Mick Foley, but at Forsaken... you’re gonna find out why I call MYSELF... The BEST Wrestler in the World!
Danielson grins in a very cocky fashion, before leaving the shot.
[font='Georgia'] Styles: Tough words from Danielson, especially when you consider he knows that Paul Heyman has given both Mick Foley and Terry Funk the night off tonight and are already in Philadelphia for the Pay Per View!
Danielson then struts off camera before we head to another backstage location, presumably a locker (dressing) room. The camera heads inside and around a corner and we see Rob Van Dam and Sabu preparing for their match tonight. Van Dam bouncing around practicing some punches and kicks, while Sabu sits still in the corner of the room, taking it all in, looking very calm but ready to go.
Styles: Rob Van Dam and Sabu certainly appear psyched up and ready to go!
With that said, we arrive back in the arena where **ARABIC PRAYER** hits to a tonne of heat before Muhammad Hassan and Daivari swagger confidently out to the to the ring. The duo stand atop the aisle and slowly throw their arms up in the air, taunting the fans, soaking in the heat before they trot down to the ring with huge, cocky grins on his face. The two climb into the ring and play up the fans some more to still big heat.
Styles: These two could be, excuse the pun, dead men walking.
The heel duo stand in the ring, looking a little intimidated while the fans continue to boo the shit out of the three of them. **JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES/MY LAST BREATH** then blasts out through the Hammerstein to a massive reaction as Christian Cage makes his way down to the aisle, eyes locked on to Muhammad Hassan. Christian doesn’t even play up the fans on his way down to the ring, his eyes completely fixed on Hassan’s as he strides down to ringside swiftly.
Match 2 2 on 1 Handicap Match Christian Cage v Muhammad Hassan & Daivari
This match ends up as nothing more than a disappointment for Christian Cage. Hassan acted all high and mighty at the beginning of the match, telling Daivari to piss off to the apron as he and Cage begun circling the ring to start off the match, but as soon as they’d made one full journey around the ring, Cage lunged straight towards Hassan, who immediately bitched it and tagged in Daivari to MASSIVE heat. Christian was ropable and beat the living fuck out of Daivari for about three minutes. Eventually, Christian looks ready to finish him off and goes up top, presumably for the Frog Splash when suddenly Hassan rushed the ring from the opposite corner! Cage quickly dropped back into the ring and launched him over the top rope with a big back body drop, causing him to crash and burn on the floor. Christian immediately turns his attention back to Daivari, who is now back on the floor and actually leads in with a right hand to Christian, but Captain Charisma blocks it and responds with a boot to the gut before wasting no time in planting him face first with the UNPRETTIER!!
Winner: Christian Cage @ 4:01
Christian gets straight to his feet, standing over the fallen body of his opponent in a few nights time’s Manager as **JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES/MY LAST BREATH** hits and Captain Charisma makes his exit while we see Hassan back in the ring, shaking his head at Daivari, probably realising that Christian Cage has just got one over him as they head into Forsaken! Christian stands atop the aisle and slaps his chest in Hassan’s direction with a big grin on his face before mouthing “See ya on Sunday, bitch!”
Styles: And just like that, it’s over! Christian Cage picks up a big win heading into his match with Hassan at Forsaken!
Nash: Indeed, and nothing makes me happier than seeing someone shut Muhammad Hassan the hell up! Even though I don’t like Christian Cage, I hate that asshole, Hassan even more!
Styles: Ah. Pretty sure you’re meant to be unbiased?
Nash: I am! I’m callin’ it as I see it. You can’t tell me you don’t agree.
The camera then heads to another location backstage to find Samoa Joe standing in an unknown location, with his “JOE” labelled Branding Iron draped over his shoulder.
Joe: I’m gonna make this short an’ sweet. The time fa’ talk is well an’ truly over. I’m now at the point where I wanna let my actions speak fa’ themselves!
Joe pauses.
Joe: Funk... listen up, and Heyman, it might pay for you to pay attention to this too! Terry, I know you’re not here tonight but you need to know that you’re in for the biggest beatin’ of yo’ life on Sunday! Last week was just a preview of what I’m gonna do to you at Forsaken.
Heat
Joe: On Sunday night, I will be sendin’ a message to EVERY... SINGLE... PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER... IN... THIS... INDUSTRY! Funk, I guarantee, that I am gonna beat the holy hell out of you as quickly as I possibly can and then and only THEN... I’m gonna burn you. I’m gonna burn my name right into your chest so you have a lasting memory of the match where you got your ass kicked by Samoa Joe.
Heat
Joe: Terry, I feel sorry for you. I really do, you’ve been made a sacrificial lamb by someone that’s supposed to be your friend. Paul Heyman is sending you into a battle that you’ve got no chance of winning and he knows it. He’s happy sitting back in his office just watching me kick the crap outta you!
Heat.
Joe: And Heyman, you wanna pay close attention to just how far I go on Sunday, because if I’m willin’ to beat the hell out of someone as bad as I’m about to, to Terry Funk... someone that I actually RESPECT... and LEGEND of this industry...
Joe pauses.
Joe: (coldly) Then imagine what I’d do to you!
Joe laughs a little before continuing.
Joe: Heyman... Funker... on Sunday night, you both are going to witness first hand why I am Pro Wrestling and why they call me... THE BADDEST *MOTHERFUCKER* ON THE PLANET!!!
Joe’s naughty word is obviously beeped out but the fans still pour heat on the Samoan Submission Machine as he leaves the shot.
Commercial
We return from commercial to find AJ styles backstage, getting ready for the Main Event when the EPW WORLD CHAMPION, EDGE, walks in to a tonne of heat.
Edge: AJ... AJ, I just wanted to talk to you before our match tonight.
AJ looks up at Edge slowly, waiting for him to continue.
Edge: I just wanted to make sure you understand how big of an opportunity this is for you tonight? I mean, you got the BIGGEST win of your career last week, and I want to make sure you don’t go backwards tonight. I know we had a little “disagreement” last week before the match, but I just wanted to make sure that was behind us.
Styles seems a little confused by Edge’s pleasantness.
Edge: Tonight is an even bigger rub than what you received last week, not just ANYONE gets to tag with the EPW World Champion... a supreme superstar of my calibre doesn’t come ‘round every day so now you’ve got a chance to tag with me AJ, you’ve gotta take it! I’m gonna let you step into my limelight kid and I want you to know, if you watch my back out there tonight and PROVE that you can be trusted... then I’ve got your back on Sunday night.
AJ goes to respond but Edge motions not to before he walks out of the room and the camera heads to another backstage location to find Maria standing by.
Maria: Hi, I’m Maria, and joining me are none other than the EPW Tag Team Champions, Homicide and Hernandez and their manager Konnan... The Latin American eXchange!
Solid heat as Konnan walks into screen flanked by ‘Cide and Hernandez.
Maria: Konnan, can I get your thoughts heading into Hernandez’ match with Roderick Strong tonight and your rematch with Strong and Alex Shelly at Forsaken?
Konnan: ORALE! Maria! You lookin’ fine tonight baby! Our thoughts? Our thoughts are simple, ese! Tha dawgz’, ‘dey gonna beat Strong an’ Shelly so bad ‘dat ‘day gonna regret ever showin’ ‘dere faces in EPW!
Heat
Konnan: Tonight, is gonna be nothin’ short of a preview! A preview of what we’ gonna do to these two come Forsaken. Big Hernandez here, ‘da big dawg, he’ just gonna soften up Rod’rick Strong tonight baby, because at Forsaken... we gonna tear these fools apart limb by limb!
Heat
Konnan: Las’ week was HUGE chance fa’ these our opponents to make an impact! They coulda taken a huge win off the LAX last week up in Canada... but ‘dey didn’t! If it wasn’t for big Hernandez here Border Tossin’ Shelton Benjamin, leavin’ him down for da count...
Hernandez slaps his chest
Konnan: Then LAX woulda walked out victorious! Last week, we made a statement! Generation Next needed OUR help to get a win ova’ ‘da Worlds Greatest Tag Team... a team we’ve beaten numerous times before! If ‘dey can’t beat ‘dem, how da hell, are ‘dey gonna beat us?!
Konnan pauses
Konnan: Maria, ‘dese two hombres shoulda realised after ‘da last time we beat ‘dere asses as Blaze o’ Glory that ‘dere is no overcomin’ ‘da LAX! STRONG... SHELLY... You two gringos better listen up, and listen reeeeeeeal good holmes... ya both say you’re gonna keep comin’ until ya take these titles...
Konnan slaps the title belts on the shoulders of both the dawgz.
Konnan: Well, if ‘dats really ‘da case ‘den ‘dat’s your funeral ese ‘cause ‘da dawgz ‘dey won’t back down from a fight! You two gringos can’t stop us amigo, ya’ll are in ‘da midst of ‘da LAX REVOLUTION... and ‘da sooner ‘da o’ you realise ‘dat you can stop a revolutionary... but you CAN’T, stop a revolution, ‘den the safer it’ll be fo’ both yo’ asses!
Heat
Konnan: ORALE! ORALE! Ariba La Raze!
The three do their little LAX hand sign thingy before leaving the screen, Homicide staring at Maria’s ass on the way out. The camera then moves to the parking lot, focusing on the door out of the arena and after a few seconds, BRYAN DANIELSON swaggers out calmly, bag in hand. Danielson approaches his car and goes to open the door before apparently hearing something behind him. A tense AmDrag turns and faces where the noise has apparenty orientated from but Danielson decides that he is just hearing things and is simply being paranoid. (or is he...)
Styles: Danielson seems a little on edge heading into Forsaken, Kevin Nash.
**DAWGZ** then hits and the three members of LAX, Konnan and the EPW World Tag Team Champions, Homicide & tonight’s competitor, Hernandez, make their way out to some big heat given their promo only moments earlier. The trio swagger down to the ring, taunting the fans. The Tag Champions slide into the ring and climb opposite turnbuckles, holding their Championship belts up for all to see.
Styles: This is the final opportunity for the LAX to showcase their dominance tonight before Forsaken...
Nash: (Cutting in) And I couldn’t think of a better way for LAX to prove just how damn good they are than by having big Hernandez beat the crap out of Roddy Strong here tonight!
**PERSONAL JESUS** then hits to a big ovation as Generation Next comprised of the Cruiserweight Champion, Austin Aries, Alex Shelly and of course, Roderick Strong make their way down to the ring in a very positive fashion, apparently keen to make a big impact. Strong, in the middle of the three men is keenest to make it to the ring and immediately slides in, under the bottom rope and shapes up to Hernandez.
Match 3 Singles Match EPW World Tag Team Champion, Hernandez w/ Homicide & Konnan v Roderick Strong w/ Alex Shelly & Austin Aries
In a surprisingly short match, it doesn’t take long for bedlam to break out at ringside after Konnan attempted to put his stamp on the match very early with a shot from his Slapjack, but Austin Aries put an end to that just before he could nail the shot. Then with the referee distracted, Homicide tried to get involved, attempting to double team Roddy Strong with Hernandez but Alex Shelly made a quick cameo, nailing a low dropkick to Hernandez when he had Strong up in the electric chair position in preparation for the elevated diving bulldog before then following up with a cracking SUPERKICK to Homicide! Hernandez slowly gets to his feet before pushing Alex Shelly through the middle rope and down to the floor on the outside but as soon as he does... HE’S ROLLED UP BY RODERICK STRONG! 1... 2... 3!!!
Winner: Roderick Strong @ 5:01
Styles: WOAH!!! What a victory for Generation Next heading into Forsaken!!
**PERSONAL JESUS**hits again as Strong, Shelly and Aries evacuate up the aisle, gesturing to LAX that the titles will soon be around their waists! The camera then heads backstage to Brock Lesnar’s locker room where we find Chris Jericho walking in, apparently unannounced.
Jericho: (Intensely, looking a little intimidated) Brock... I know we’re not the best of friends and that tonight might not be the ideal scenario for either of us,
Jericho pauses while Lesnar just looks pissed off, apparently not giving a fuck about what Y2J has to say.
Jericho: But Brock, tonight is a big opportunity for both of us. I sure as hell know I don’t wanna be in that Chamber first on Sunday night, and especially not against someone like you and I’m pretty sure you don’t wanna be in their first either, so in our match tonight, we need to relate, we need to be on the same page.
Brock looks on, intently.
Jericho: I think we can make this work, Brock. We’ve got a lot in common after all, I mean we BOTH wanna be World Champion... and after I’m done winning the Pain Chamber match on Sunday night, if we pull this match off tonight... YOU, Brock... will be the first person to get a shot at my title.
Lesnar: (Pissed off) Okay Jericho, I get it. Tonight, we’re on the same team... I’ll play nice, but rest assured, come Forsaken... I WON’T NEED TO THINK TWICE ABOUT KICKIN’ YOUR ASS!
Jericho and Lesnar stare deep into each other’s eyes as we go to another commercial.
Commercial
We return from commercial to find Kurt Angle and Rhino preparing for their match, which is set to start in a few moments. Kurt is pacing the room as Rhino finishes lacing up his boots before getting to his feet when Angle meets him face to face.
Angle: (Calmly but intensely) Let’s get this straight Rhino. We go back a LONG way. I consider you a friend, but that counts for nothin’ come Sunday night. Tonight is a high stakes match up, entering that chamber first is not an idea that I’m particularly fond of and if we do end up in there as the first two, you better hope it’s not thanks to a mishap that you could’ve easily prevented!
Rhino stares into the eyes of The Olympic Champion.
Angle: I’ve got no problem with you Rhino, but I recommend that if you wanna keep it that way... you say out of my way, tonight... and at Forsaken!
Angle: [font=‘Georgia’] Because Rhino, nothin' is gonna stop me from becoming the EPW WORLD CHAMPION!
Angle breaths deeply and intensely as the camera heads back out to the arena to Joey Styles and Kevin Nash at ringside.
Styles: This is the last opportunity for all of our competitors in the Pain Chamber this Sunday night at Forsaken.
Nash: Damn straight Styles, this match has high stakes. I think you’ll find the nature of this tag match is a lot different to other matches and you’ll notice that the teams on the outside will be happy to stay out there.
Styles: You’re right, this particular match is a very exciting prospect.
**WALK**then hits to a gigantic pop and the ever-popular Rob Van Dam makes his way out to a huge ovation. Rob stands atop the aisle, doing his trademark thumb taunt with the fans chanting along. RVD makes his way down to the ring positively, slapping hands with the fans before rolling in under the bottom rope and climbing the nearest turnbuckle before giving the fans another thumb taunt. Van Dam’s music cuts out soon after when **HAKA BLUES** blasts through the Hammerstein Ballroom and another big ovation erupts as Sabu makes his way out with his trademark steel chair in hand.
Styles: If you asked anyone in the arena tonight, these two are certainly the sentimental favourites to take out this match up! Even though Rob Van Dam didn’t pick up the win last week in the Battle Royal, I think it’s a fair statement to say he made the biggest impact on the match, as he eliminated Kurt Angle, Edge and played a major part in eliminating Brock Lesnar, only to be ultimately screwed out of the match by Edge.

The fans react indifferently, but most tear the house down with cheers Van Dam on as he looks down at both Angle and Edge before doing his trademark thumb taunt towards them down on the floor.
Later in the match...
The fans react indifferently towards AJ, and Rob Van Dam in particular doesn’t seem overly impressed with what’s happened, going after him with three hard right hands before throwing him off the ropes, AJ bounces back and drops down, sliding between RVD’s legs but as Van Dam turns back to meet Styles, he turns into a SPEAR FROM EDGE WHO THEN PICKS VAN DAM STRAIGHT UP AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!!
Rob Van Dam is eliminated illegally by Edge @ 4:42
The Backstage brawl between the duo is then highlighted.
The recap cuts out and **HERE COMES THE PAIN** hits as Brock Lesnar makes his way out, bouncing up and down atop the aisle before making his way down to ringside and climbing into the ring, refusing to even acknowledge Sabu as he comes face to face with RVD. **BREAK THE WALLS DOWN** then blasts through the arena as the overly cocky Chris Jericho makes his way out to immense heat. Jericho struts down to the ring like only he can.
Styles: Chris Jericho is a man that will be out for a little bit of a boost following his so close, yet so far performance in last week’s Battle Royal when he got down to the last two, only to be pinned by AJ Styles!
**STAMPEDE** hits and the crowd becomes unglued and The War Machine, Rhino makes his way out to another big ovation as the Hammerstein fans cheer loudly for the ECW Original. With Rhino in the ring, **MEDAL** explodes through the arena as the fans produce a pop equal to the one that Rob Van Dam had received moments earlier and Kurt Angle makes his way out roaring loudly, as intense as ever.
Styles: This right here, is a man on a mission. Kurt Angle is showing a form of intensity that I haven’t seen in a long time. Angle and Rhino are in my opinion, the favourites tonight. Given the mood Kurt Angle is in and the fact that if The Man Beast manages to connect with the Gore, it’s more than over! These two are gonna be damn hard to beat!
**I AM** then hits and The Phenomenal AJ Styles makes his way out to a big mixed reaction, the fans still unsure what to think of AJ, particularly given the fact that he’ll be teaming with Edge this evening. Styles throws his arms out wide at the top of the aisle before taking off hood and walking to the ring when **METALINGUS** hits and the final competitor in the match, the EPW World Champion, Edge, makes his way out to a monstrous amount of heat. The most we’ve heard tonight by far. The champion makes his way down to the ring sceptically, with the eyes of all the competitors in the ring cast upon him and his Championship – most notably, the eyes of Kurt Angle, who stands right in the middle of the ring screaming, “YOU AND ME RIGHT NOW, BITCH! YOU’RE MINE!!” and Rob Van Dam, who just stares intently at the Champion. Edge laughs nervously at Kurt and Rob as he climbs into the squared circle.
Styles: The marked man, as win for Edge and AJ Styles tonight would certainly give the Champion a huge advantage heading into Forsaken!
The referee battles to invoke normality in the ring before the match even starts as he directs the team of Rob Van Dam and Sabu to the outside, as well as Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar, apparently deciding that the teams of Angle and Rhino and AJ and Edge are starting this match. Angle steps forward, taking up the challenge, roaring at Edge, when AJ steps in front of the Champion, willing to take on Angle himself.
Match 4 Main Event High Stakes 4 Corner Tag Team Match EPW World Champion, Edge & AJ Styles v Brock Lesnar & Chris Jericho v Kurt Angle & Rhino v Sabu & Rob Van Dam
Just as mentioned by Joey Styles and Kevin Nash in the lead up, this one is contested under very different circumstances. No one seems all that eager to get into the ring, except Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam. The match gets a decent amount of time with Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho, currently occupying the ring and Jericho trying to get the hell out at any given opportunity. Angle nails him with three continuous arm drags before nailing an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex! Jericho slowly gets up to his feet before reaching out and tagging in... EDGE!!! For the first time in the match, Edge has been tagged in after just over 10 minutes, he shakes his head in disbelief as Angle stares at him, roaring like a mad man when Chris Jericho then HIP TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND INTO THE RING!!!! IT’S ON!!! ANGLE POUNCES ON THE CHAMPION AND BEGINS HAMMERING AWAY WITH RIGHT HAND AFTER RIGHT HAND! Angle drags Edge to his feet and hurls him into the ropes and as he bounces back Edge goes for a wayward Clothesline, but it misses by a long way and Kurt ducks under the arm, before managing to wrench his arms around the Champion’s waist to nail a GERMAN SUPLEX! Edge bounces back up to his feet and this time into a NORTHEN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Angle drops his straps down off his shoulders and leaps on to Edge’s ankle... APPLYING THE ANKLE LOCK!!! The Champ bellows in immense pain, as Kurt wrenches the ankle as tightly as he possibly can... after a few more moments, AJ Styles storms the ring, causing Kurt to release the hold, but he catches him off guard and quickly nails an ANGLE SLAM!!!! The fans pop for Angle while the heel team of Lesnar and Jericho just watch on casually, smirking on the outside and RVD and Sabu seem a little eager to get back into the match. Angle throws his out wide, roaring again towards the fans... while in the background... EDGE IS LINING HIM UP FOR THE SPEAR!!! EDGE CHARGES TOWARDS HIM AND... MISSES! KURT DODGES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND ROB VAN DAM REACHES OUT AND TAGS HIMSELF IN! Edge doesn’t realise that he’s no longer the legal man and looks to line up Angle again when suddenly RHINO CHARGES TOWARDS EDGE LOOKING FOR THE GORE... BUT HE MISSES AND NAILS ANGLE INSTEAD!!! ANGLE EATS THE GORE!!! GORE!!! GORE TO ANGLE!!! Rhino can’t believe it, the fans can’t believe it, the commentators can’t believe it and Edge... laughs. Happily, before going for the cover but it’s to no avail as he isn’t the legal man, the referee neglects to make the count when ROB VAN DAM FLIES DOWN AND NAILS THE 5 STAR FROG SPLASH TO BOTH KURT ANGLE AND EDGE!!! Van Dam pushes Edge off Angle and he rolls out of the ring before making the cover on Kurt!
ONE!
...
......
...
TWO!
...
Rhino goes to break up the cover when Chris Jericho bounces off the ropes behind him and plants him face first with a Running Bulldog, assisting Van Dam and effectively ensuring that he isn’t one of the first two that will enter the chamber!
...
THREE!
Winners: Rob Van Dam & Sabu @ 13:54
The fans are stunned as Rob Van Dam stands up in the ring with the referee holding his arm up before he does the same for Sabu and **WALK** hits again. AJ Styles is still down in the ring following his Angle Slam along with Rhino and Kurt, Edge is just getting up on the outside, realising that it was Angle that was pinned and that he and Rhino will be first in the Chamber (which naturally satisfies him to no end) while Chris Jericho slithers up the aisle, knowing he’s made a big assist to Van Dam when suddenly Brock Lesnar blasts SABU OVER THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!!! VAN DAM ATTEMPTS TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO BROCK IN SABU’S DEFENCE, BUT LESNAR MEETS HIM WITH A KICK TO THE GUT BEFORE NAILING A BRUTAL F5!!! **HERE COMES THE PAIN** then hits and Brock stands tall over all the broken bodies in the ring as a now concerned looking Edge has just been reminded of just dangerous Brock Lesnar is while Chris Jericho stands atop of the aisle, still smiling and apparently proud of his work, screwing Rhino and Angle.
Styles: Brock Lesnar showcases his dominance leading into Forsaken... how the hell can Edge possibly retain his Championship?!
Nash: Never write off the Rated R Superstar, Styles. Edge ain’t our inaugural for nothin’
Styles: Time will tell, I know one thing for sure, we’re out of time for tonight, we’ll see you at Forsaken... don’t forget to check out Online Oblivion where the 4 competitors in the Cruiserweight Championship Fatal Fourway are in action!!! See you on Sunday... LIVE from Phili!!!
This show fades to black with Edge backing up the aisle, clutching at his championship belt, although looking slightly concerned.

Enslaved Feedback
Nice video recap to remind us what happened last week you probably could have used other words instead of everyone beating the shit out of everyone but fuck it, its just a recap of last week. Anyway it is your first full show in a while so bring on the putrid promo’s
Paul Heyman and well at the beginning it was all the regular stuff putting over the PPV and all that is good. The big match up made for tonight the tag one is going to be sick, I personally hope Edge has to go in first that way he has to struggle to make it the whole way through but anyway that’s just me. Edge teaming with Styles is okay as Styles is kind of the tweener character at the moment but I think he needs to chose a specific side because it is a bit confusing that one week he will team with the heels and the next week the faces. Christian was extremely intense it was quite unexpected but I think you had him down okay. Handicap match announced for tonight is big, REALLY BIG and just like that we have a stacked card for the show. Good work Para.
Haasan and Daivari not happy and I can not blame. Hassan calling Daivari not a credible partner is something I could not really see him saying even if it is true. Heyman using his power to get them to leave him alone was good and the match stands. Oh BTW I am not to familiar with Hassan on the mic however I am not sure he would say Freakin.
Monty Brown on commentary to suss out the competition is FTW! I think CM Punk has to go over in this contest because Shelton Benjamin is well Shelton Benjamin and Punk is much more over in this thread. Okay so basically Punk OWNS Brown and still defeats Benjamin, guess it’s a good night for Punk. I don’t mind that though however the handshake thing with Benjamin really ticked me off. Even though you have explained Punk is just a generic face I would much prefer if there was an edge to his character and at the moment he is way to goody goody for my liking.
I loved the Danielson backstage interview, what was wrong with this promo??? Nothing really it was fine, Danielson had passion as he spoke and he trashed Mick Foley like usual. All the stuff Danielson said is true and Foley will lose at Foresaken… I hope. Wait actually after double checking one thing about this interview I didn’t like was Christy at the start introducing Danielson as Mick Foley’s opponent, Kind of belittles Danielson and that is not a good move.
Christian I think just dominated Hassan and Daivari or well Daivari way to easily. This was definitely a squash match however I can live with it because Hassan chickened out making us wait even longer to see him and Christian go at it. Squash matches with storyline progression are okay so nothing to complain about here
I loved Joe, this was the first promo where i had absolutely nothing and I do mean nothing to complain about, I believe you had his character down well and you showed us all what a sadistic bastard he is. Well played and now all he has to do is kick Funk’s ass at Foresaken.
Edge trying to get on AJ’s good side I don’t see AJ falling for that or at least I hope he doesn’t. Edge’s plan backfiring would be pretty cool.
LAX backstage interview as well was something that well it had its good moments and it had its bad moments. Started off very good sounded very much like Konnan and slowly drifted away before at the ending regaining its credibility. Anyway about what was said LAX have been dominant throughout the EPW tag ranks and I think that shall remain the same after Foresaken.
Roderick Strong getting the win was a crime. Is all I am saying as I am not happy with that result at all
Jericho and Lesnar are now a team for the night however the intensity shown by Lesnar could be something that leads to there downfall tonight. Also I say this in probably every review but I love Brock Lesnar especially as this intense bastard he just OWNS so bad.
Did not like Kurt Angle talking to Rhino here at all. He is meant to be all intense and angry I doubt he would say such things as prevented and particularly… Just seemed way to formal for a guy who is meant to be an intense don’t take no crap from nobody type of guy.
Here we go the main event, a match I happen to be very excited about and it is right here. Geez this show has gone fast sometimes I forget its only one hour. T’was an awesome main event and RVD and Sabu picking up the win was a bit of a shock however I understand that the reason why you did it was to create something of a stir amongst us readers. LOL at Edge being one of the first two in there makes me laugh a lot. Lesnar OWNING afterwards makes me foam at the mouth as he is fucking awesome as I said earlier
Overall pretty good show PARA, a few promo issues but besides that storyline progression was wonderful, I loved it. Just wanted to ask are you posting a preview or shall I edit my predictions into this post. Just lemme know aiight?
Re: Presenting: Paul Heyman's Evolution Pro Wrestling.
Well it's been a while hasn't it? I've been keeping up with the thread but never really dropped any thoughts and comments on it recently. So I thought I'd get back into the swing of things now and try dropping my thoughts. First off really no surprise with the starting promo and it wasn't really anything special at all. But sometimes you need promos like that. I like the concept of having the Fatal 4 Way Tag Match with the two losers entering first. Definently a good way instead of just randomly picking two superstars. Christian cut a great promo and really no shock who his opponent is tonight. Basically this was just a fundamental promo to start the night off, nothing special but not bad either.
Eh Monty Brown lol. Never been his biggest fan at all. But regardless having him down at ringside seems ok since he's got Punk in 4 nights. Seemed like a good match with the two and really nothing happened after which I wasn't expecting anywyas. I'd hope Punk retains come Forsaken but I haven't paid attention to see how much of a push Brown has had recently.
I don't know much about Danielson as I've told you in here before but I do know that he is a very talented wrestler from many of the Indy fans. Seems like Danielson/Foley would definently be one of the top draw matches for you right now in the thread. Danielson DEFINENTLY needs this win and I'm positive that he will get it unless we get a swerve and see Foley win, then have a rematch at a PPV. The usual "passing of the torch" as Danielson said needs to occur.
Christian running right over Daivari mainly was no shock. I wouldn't be surprised to see Christian win come Forsaken but Hassan definently has a good chance of pulling it out. The Hassan character has come a long way since you morphed it from the WWE-Hassan to what he is now in the thread.
Eh nothing really special about the Joe promo to me. Bascially seemed like your average Joe (no pun intended) promo right there. This Funk/Joe feud does interest me though as I don't think I've read up too much on it. Not really sure where it started but I'm positive this is going to be another hell of a match whenever the PPV does go up. Looking forward to seeing what it brings.
Not much to say about Edge and AJ either really. Some promos are being thrown together tonight but short promos are always good. Sometimes you need them because not every segment needs to be long as hell. Either way Edge's cocky character was captured well with the time he had to speak. Not much but not that that is bad at all either as mentioned.
WOW. Shock win there for Strong over the big man Hernandez. I'll be honest I really don't think I saw that one coming. But I'm very happy that you continue to push all of these cruiserweights and that was a big win right there for Generation Next.
These little short promos make sense now as I see you've got them for all of the teams for tonight. I didn't know you were going to do that so it makes sense. Good call on this idea as it hypes all eight men even before they step into the ring which is always nice. Angle and Rhino going first and second in the chamber isn't really that "appealing" to me but regardless I think it's going to be one hell of a match. It's obvious you want the other big names to be held out for a bit but really I'm looking forward to seeing how this Pain Chamber works out and who the champion will be.
Overall it was a good show. Nothing was bad at all but some promos seemed very fundamental and just normal promos that were just "there" I guess. Nothing bad at all though and really I did enjoy the show. I'll try and drop some predics on Forsaken in a few days. Until then, later.
