EMF: Shockwave
	(The EMF logo flashes on the screen.) (We open up this edition of Saturday Shockwave as pyrotechnics rain down on the stage. The lights turn on. The fans yell and wave their signs as the camera’s scan the crowd. After a few shots of the crowd as the camera zooms out to display the location information. We get one more shot as the commentators begin to speak.) JR-We are live in Nashville, Tennessese. Welcome everyone to another edition of Saturday Shockwave. I’m good ol’ JR, Jim Ross. I’m joined by Jerry “the King” Lawler and Kris “KG” Gaffney. King-I just want to say that I’m not from here…but JR is. Kris Gaffney-I think they bought it… King-Anyways we have a great show headlined by Walter Melon and Troy Gafgen doing battle to determine who will take on the IC champion at Payback. JR-Let’s get this show started with the first match of the night. (“Fight Owens Fight” blasts on the PA system. Kevin Owens and R-Truth walk out on the stage with Candy. R-Truth is yelling “what’s up” as Kevin Owens looks intense as he enters the ring.) JR-This is a match of two teams looking to bounce back after not winning in the qualifying matches last week. King-I got a feeling that Truth might think he’s still in it. Kris Gaffney-Makes sense. As the lights go out the opening licks to Entrance Song by The Black Angels reverberates throughout the arena. Smoke begins to shoot up from the ramp and a random set of technicolor lights begins to flash poetically throughout the arena. Mr. Psychedelic Branden Leno smoothly walks through the smokescreen. Wearing some aviator sunglasses, light acid wash jeans and a technicolored paisley shirt he looks around the arena with a smile on his face. He casually walks down the ramp, smiling and dipping his sunglasses to get a good look at the crowd. He reaches the ring floor and jumps on the apron before taking a second to look at the crowd again, nodding his head to the music. He goes through the ropes and gets on to the second rope, raising his arms to his sides, nodding at the crowd with a smile on his face. Orange looks around the arena, slowly pulls one hand out of his pocket and holds it just above his bellybutton and gives a lazy thumbs up before making his way down the ramp with his hands back into his pockets. Once at the ring, he slowly rolls under the ropes all the way to the middle of the ring where he does a kip-up with his hands still in his pocket. He walks to his corner giving a lazy thumbs up waiting for the match to begin.) JR-Brandon Leno felt like he didn’t have his best match last week.

Orange Reign climbs up to the top rope, and he lazily jumps off of the top rope, and he connects with an axe handle that puts down Kevin Owens. Orange Reign falls back into the corner, and he holds up a sign for the Orange Punch, or we think that’s what it is because Orange Reign doesn’t really have much energy to really give a real indication of what he’s going for.] JR-Orange Reign is looking to end this match. King-I’m not sure…is he? Kris Gaffney-I guess…the Melon Gods will decide? King-Maybe… [Orange Reign goes for a Orange Punch, but Kevin Owens is able to duck under.

From the back, arms out and swinging cockily comes walking the Irish God, Lugus Cuhullin. He stops atop the ramp with his hands by his side and face looking to the ground and he raises his fists slowly making an X above his head. The Irish God slams his fists down and fireworks shoot from the ramp and lights flash green as The Irish God does quick shadowboxing with each strike fireworks shooting from the stage.

Ricky Vegas backs up to make sure that the ref doesn’t get on his case about allowing Lugus to have space, and also to plan for his next move as he watches as Lugus gets up to his feet.] JR-Lugus thus far hasn’t found a way to get any offense in against the new comer.

[Lugus walks over to where Ricky Vegas is, and Vegas surprises him, and picks his leg, and locks on the Black jack, Lugus tries to roll through, but Ricky is able to hold on. Ricky grape vines the leg of Lugus. Lugus taps out!! Ricky Vegas wins via submission.] JR-Although he left a limb open, and that was the deciding factor in this match.

As the lights go out the opening licks to Entrance Song by The Black Angels reverberates throughout the arena. Smoke begins to shoot up from the ramp and a random set of technicolor lights begins to flash poetically throughout the arena. Mr. Psychedelic Branden Leno smoothly walks through the smokescreen. Wearing some aviator sunglasses, light acid wash jeans and a technicolored paisley shirt he looks around the arena with a smile on his face. He casually walks down the ramp, smiling and dipping his sunglasses to get a good look at the crowd. He reaches the ring floor and jumps on the apron before taking a second to look at the crowd again, nodding his head to the music. He goes through the ropes and gets on to the second rope, raising his arms to his sides, nodding at the crowd with a smile on his face.

Orange looks around the arena, slowly pulls one hand out of his pocket and holds it just above his bellybutton and gives a lazy thumbs up before making his way down the ramp with his hands back into his pockets. Once at the ring, he slowly rolls under the ropes all the way to the middle of the ring where he does a kip-up with his hands still in his pocket. He walks to his corner giving a lazy thumbs up waiting for the match to begin.)

Orange Reign climbs up to the top rope, and he lazily jumps off of the top rope, and he connects with an axe handle that puts down Kevin Owens. Orange Reign falls back into the corner, and he holds up a sign for the Orange Punch, or we think that’s what it is because Orange Reign doesn’t really have much energy to really give a real indication of what he’s going for.]

JR-Orange Reign is looking to end this match.

[Brandon Leno gets up to his feet. R-Truth kicks him in the gut, and he goes for the scissors kick, but Leno moves out of the way. Leno hooks on the Acid Trip. Kevin Owens attempts to break it up, but Orange Reign hurls his body to stop him, and does. R-Truth taps out. The team of Leno and Orange win this match!!]

JR-Although going for the big move there might have cost Truth.

King-That’s the truth…

(Lights out, crowd waits in anticipation and then erupt in both boos and cheers for The Irish God when green smoke fills the dark arena and a spotlight shines at the top of the ramp, all when SinÃ©ad O'Connor & The Chieftains - The Foggy Dew plays throughout the arena. From the back, arms out and swinging cockily comes walking the Irish God, Lugus Cuhullin. He stops atop the ramp with his hands by his side and face looking to the ground and he raises his fists slowly making an X above his head. The Irish God slams his fists down and fireworks shoot from the ramp and lights flash green as The Irish God does quick shadowboxing with each strike fireworks shooting from the stage. He looks to the ring with his cocky smile.)

JR-You never know what Lugus Cuhullion you are going to get.

King-Well, he is a god.

Kris Gaffney-That means it doesn’t matter.

Ricky comes onto the ramp with a huge grin, accompanied by Miss Meadows and a pair of nameless showgirls. On occasion, he will toss commemorative casino chips into the crowd. Once arriving at the ring, Miss Meadows will instruct the showgirls to wait backstage.

JR-Ricky Vegas is making his debut.

King-Facing a god is a tough first night.

Kris Gaffney-And a former champion.

JR-That might have put the match back into the hands of the former Extreme Champion.

Kris Gaffney-Then again, maybe it didn’t…he’s a god, it doesn’t matter.

[Lugus walks over to where Ricky Vegas is, and Vegas surprises him, and picks his leg, and locks on the Black jack, Lugus tries to roll through, but Ricky is able to hold on. Ricky grape vines the leg of Lugus. Lugus taps out!! Ricky Vegas wins via submission.]

JR-Although he left a limb open, and that was the deciding factor in this match.

King-You never know what it will be.
