EMF: Shockwave

(The EMF logo flashes on the screen, and we go into the Shockwave video.)

(pyrotechnics blasts on the stage of the darken arena. Each one crashes on the stage, the lights turn on. Fans yell, and wave their signs. Some signs say “the announcers are not going to like this one”, “did we just go back to the battle rap days”, and

JR-Welcome once again to Saturday Shockwave. I’m good ol’ JR, Jim Ross along side Jerry “the King” Lawler, and Kris “KG” Gaffney.

King-Tonight will be dedicated to the Extreme Battle Royal.

Kris Gaffney-Yeah…so let’s start off…with dark matches…on television.

King-AAAAHHH my eyes!!

(“Siriusly” blasts on the PA system as Sirius Jericho walks to the ring not entertaining you in any way, shape or form.)

JR-Tonight Sirius is going to be facing his oppose.

King-You mean like himself when he wasn’t Sirius?

Kris Gaffney-I guess so…I kind of wonder if this guy might be Sirius Jericho from the past.

(“Adam Rose’s theme” blasts on the PA system as Adam Rose walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-As we said, this is guy is all about having fun.

King-Their Sirious and party attitudes are about to clash.

Kris Gaffney-Take cover everyone!

[Sirius Jericho and Adam Rose pace around the ring, and then they lock up Adam Rose goes behind Sirius Jericho, and then he hits a few clubbing blows to the back of Sirius Jericho. He hits a belly to back suplex that puts him down on the mat. He hits a few stomps on the downed Sirius Jericho, and then he backs away, and then he waits as Sirius Jericho gets up to his feet, and once he gets up to his feet. Adam Rose hits a kick to the gut that doubles over Sirius Jericho, and he sets him up for a vertical suplex. He lifts him up, and he holds him up there for a few moments, and then Adam Rose drops him for a stalling vertical suplex.]

JR-Sirius Jericho needs to think of a better plan here.

King-He’ll come up with something.

Kris Gaffney-He better think quickly.

[Adam Rose goes to the corner, and he climbs up to the second rope, he leaps off of the second rope. But Sirius Jericho gets his knee’s up. Adam Rose is in pain, and then he gets up to his feet. Sirius Jericho runs to the ropes, and he hits a running bulldog that puts him down on the mat.]

JR-Adam Rose might be in trouble.

King-Maybe he should have gotten the bunny to help him.

Kris Gaffney-We will never speak of that again.

[Sirius Jericho waits as Adam Rose gets up to his feet. Sirius Jericho goes for the Sirius breaker. But Adam Rose pushes Sirius Jericho off. He hits his finisher on Sirius Jericho. Adam Rose goes into the cover on Sirius Jericho. The ref counts the 1………2……….3!]

JR-Adam Rose wins this match.

King-Just took that one mistake.

Death Jester appears on the EMF jumbotron.

“There are so many questions. Where have I been? Why did I leave? What made me come back? What happened to the Watchmen? What are your plans? What of the fans? What next?

The simple truth of it all comes down to this. None of the first questions matter. It doesn’t matter why I left or where I went or what I did. What matters is that I am back now. Back. Alone. Changed. And out for blood. The Watchmen? Dead. The fans? Dead. The smiling Jester? Dead. The reason? Mine to know. And the victims to find out. What will be coming through the EMF from this day until my last day is a storm that you have never known before. It is a storm that needs no name. It is simply the savage wrath of my vengeance come to hurricane its way to the targets that deserve it. There are no secrets. Each man that has earned that wrath knows it full well. There will be no surprise when I come for you. There will be no shock when you open your eyes in the darkness and see me standing over you ready to claim what is mine. The destiny of each of these men is pain, desolation, bloody desperation, repentance, and absolution. But there will be no forgiveness. There will be no happy ending. There will only be darkness. Falling over them to the point of complete blackness. You decided that the best course of action for you was to prod the evil back to my surface. Well now comes the reckoning for you. Now comes the Death side of this Jester. Be careful what you wish for… you just got it.”

The screen goes black.

(“Whatever” blasts on the PA system as John of the Morgue walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-This is a very unique man.

King-I think there was a theme behind these matches made.

(“The SNIPER” blasts on the PA system as AN ARKIE runs down the ramp commando style. He slides into the ring.)

JR-You might be right King.

King-I know I’m right.

Kris Gaffney-The only thing no one has to worry about AN ARKIE, because while AN ARKIE is the SNIPER…he never is successful.

[John of the Morgue and AN ARKIE pace around the ring. John of the Morgue throw a fist to the face of AN ARKIE, but it’s ducked under by AN ARKIE. AN ARKIE runs to the ropes. He bounces off of the ropes. John of the Mrogue hits a shoulder block that knocks down AN ARKIE. AN ARKIE goes down on the mat, and then John of the Morgue. He hits a body slam. John of the Morgue drops a leg drop on AN ARKIE, and he goes into the cover on AN ARKIE. The ref counts the 1……………2………….KICK OUT by AN ARKIE. John of the Morgue doesn’t seem to be too happy, and then he hits a few stomps on the downed AN ARKIE. He then is told by the ref to back away to give AN ARKIE his space.]

JR-John needs to be careful here.

King-That’s right JR, or he might get DQed.

Kris Gaffney-Or so the ref claims…

[John picks up AN ARKIE. But John of the Morgue rakes the eyes of AN AKRIE, and then he hits a kick to the side of the head that puts down John.]

JR-Things just changed.

King-Did it JR?

Kris Gaffney-Maybe.

[AN ARKIE goes for the Sniped, but Morgue counters right into his finisher. John goes into the cover on AN ARKIE. The ref counts the 1……….2………..3!]

JR-John of the Morgue wins!

("Live In Fear" hits over the PA System and Bray Wyatt makes his way out onto the ramp for the start of the Extreme Battle Royal.)

JR: Wyatt sure is a unique competitor... that may give him an edge in this environment.

("Matt Storm's Theme" plays as Matt Storm is out next.)

JR: Matt Storm is a new face in the EMF, and nobody quite knows what to expect from him.

("Mechanical Rhythm" plays as Fred Tomas is the next man out.)

JR: Fred Tomas has been here quite a while, but is yet to taste any real success. He has a big chance to win gold tonight.

("Boys Round Here" plays next and out comes former TV Champion Jack Moore.)

JR: Jack Moore is one of the few in this match who has tasted gold before, you can bet he'd love to do so again.

("Schizophrenic" plays as Big Slack comes out onto the ramp next.)

JR: Big Slack tasted gold in this match last year, he knows how it works!

("I'm Shipping Up To Boston" plays next and Marcus O'Hara comes out.)

JR: Marcus is another looking for his first taste of EMF success... but he's had some good results of late, and would be deserving.

("Headstrong" plays next and out comes Nostalgia.)

JR: Nostalgia was once World Champion, but 3 losses in a row to Troy has seen him drop into other divisions for now.

(Finally the theme of Kevin Owens plays, and out comes the new Extreme Champion.)

JR: People think Nostalgia didn't take Owens seriously... but Owens had better take this seriously, or else his title reign will be just a footnote...

(With all 8 men in the ring the bell sounds and the timer begins to tick down from 60:00. All 8 men stare each other down for a few moments and then suddenly all hell breaks lose and people are throwing fists all over the place and taking it to each other. Nostalgia goes straight for Kevin Owens who won his Extreme title recently and starts firing away at him. Jack Moore meanwhile trades blows with Matt Storm. Marcus O'Hara charges at Big Slack with a clothesline but Slack just absorbs it and then throws Marcus out of the ring. Slack runs over and hits a clubbing blow to the back of the head of Bray Wyatt and hurls him out of the ring too. Kevin Owens has turned the momentum against Nostalgia and is hammering away on him in the corner when Slack grabs him from behind and hits a Full Nelson Atomic Drop on Owens. As Owens stumbles up Slack clotheslines him over the top. Nostalgia runs and hits a dropkick on Slack. Slack stumbles but only a little. Nostalgia tries again and Slack stumbles to one knee. Slack tries to stand but Nostalgia hits a 3rd drop kick and Slack falls over the top rope. Nostalgia slides out too and goes to grab a chair from ringside.)

JR: The action is spilling to the outside!

King: That's the least you'd expect.....

Kris: Yea, this match is supposed to be Extreme!

JR: Good to know you guys are here....

(Marcus O'Hara goes under the ring and pulls out a stop sign. He waits for Slack to stumble up and then cracks it over Slack's head, but Slack doesn't seem bothered. Slack grabs Marcus by the throat and picks him up for a Chokeslam. Before he can slam him, Bray Wyatt comes over, and rips up some of the padding off the floor. He yells at Slack to slam him onto the concrete. Slack turns but Marcus has had too long to recover and counters into a big DDT on Slack onto the concrete. Slack looks out of it and Marcus positions him for Hell Awaits. The crowd gasp as Marcus nails the move onto the concrete. He drops into the cover and the referee counts 1..... 2..... 3! Big Slack is eliminated from the match. Marcus turns round right into a chair shot from Nostalga. Nostalgia covers Marcus for 1.... 2..... kick out!)

JR: The elimination phase can see your dreams ended in an instant!

King: And thanks to John Cena..... that phase has been extended to 20 minutes!

Kris: When was that announced?

King: Who cares?

(Just under 8 minutes are gone off the clock. Nostalgia rolls Marcus into the ring where Jack Moore is waiting for him. Jack positions Marcus for a DDT, but Marcus hits elbows and escapes it. Meanwhile, Nostalgia has set his sights on Kevin Owens. As Owens is stomping away on Matt Storm Nostalgia drops the chair on the floor behind Owens. Owens turns around at the sound and walks straight into a SPEAR from Nostalgia! Nostalgia hooks the leg for 1.... 2..... kick out! Nostalgia grabs the chair again and positions it on Owens's arm. Nostalgia stomps down on the chair, and Owens grabs his arm in agony. Nostalgia turns and measures Owens. It looks like he's calling for another spear. Owens stumbles to his feet and Nostalgia charges at him but Owens throws him into the air as if to hit the Pop Up Powerbomb. However his arm is clearly hurt bad and he winds up dropping Nostalgia onto his feet. Nostalgia kicks him in the gut and then nails the Blast from the Past! Owens happens to hit the chair as well. Nostalgia hooks the leg for 1.... 2...... 3!!!)

JR: And just like that, we have a new Extreme Champion!

King: And Owens can't get it back... he's eliminated.

Kris: Just about inside the original 10 minute limit too.

(Sure enough the clock is showing 50:12 as Owens is eliminated from the match and Nostalgia is the new champ. Shockwave heads to commercial with Owens looking stunned and angry as the referees demand he head to the back. When we returns there's a little over 45 minutes to go. Nostalgia is still the champion and is now stomping away on Marcus O'Hara inside the ring. On the outside Jack Moore and Matt Storm are trading shots, with Jack Moore getting the better. Moore hits a suplex on Storm. When Storm is down Moore starts clearing off one of the announce tables. Fred Tomas comes over though and clotheslines Moore down from behind. Tomas picks him up and bounces Moore's head off the announce table. Tomas slides Moore onto the table. He climbs on himself, and positions Moore for a powerbomb. Suddenly Bray Wyatt is in the picture, and he hits a low blow on Tomas. Tomas falls and as he does he trips Moore, but not with enough force to break the table. Moore lands on the table. Bray Wyatt spins Tomas around and hits him with Sister Abigail! Bray Wyatt hooks the leg for 1..... 2........ KICK OUT by Tomas! Meanwhile Storm had climbed onto the apron and then the top turnbuckle. Storm leaps off and hits a big elbow drop on Jack Moore which sends him through the table. He lands in a pinning position and the referee counts 1..... 2...... 3! Jack Moore is gone. We're down to 5 competitors and not long after the clock ticks down under 40 minutes.)

JR: Now there will be no more eliminations. Only pins on the champion will count though.

King: Nostalgia has been champion for 10 minutes.

Kris: Is that longer than his World Title reign?

(Wyatt realises that now, he can't pin Tomas, so he slides into the ring where Nostalgia is stomping down on Marcus in the corner. Wyatt grabs Nostalgia and throws him into the corner. Wyatt charges at him looking for a clothesline but Nostalgia hits a big boot which takes him down. Matt Storm slides into the ring, holding a Singapore Cane he got from under the ring. Storm cracks Nostalgia over the head with it. Nostalgia stumbles forward and Storm plants him with a hard DDT. Storm then locks Nostalgia into a Camel Clutch while using the cane to choke him. Nostalgia is trying to get to the ropes even though it won't break the hold. Storm tightens his grip and Nostalgia seems to be fading. Fred Tomas slides into the ring and now all 5 of the competitors are back in the ring. Tomas starts to stalk Storm. It looks at though he's waiting for Nostalgia to tap and then he's going to strike. But Marcus spots this. Marcus grabs Tomas and hurls him hard into the ringpost. Tomas stumbles out and Marcus nails him with Hell Awaits! Wyatt charges over but Marcus irish whips him out of the ring. Marcus looks over at Storm and Nostalgia and considers what to do.)

JR: Does he save Nostalgia and try and pick up the pieces?

King: Or wait for him to pass out and then get Storm?

(We're approaching half way now and Wyatt slides back into the ring, holding the chair that was used earlier. He socks Marcus with the chair and Marcus goes down hard. He then measures and cracks Matt Storm with the chair too. Storm is completely taken off guard and is down and out. Nostalgia is looking weak from the submission hold. Nostalgia takes a while pulling himself up using the ropes. Wyatt grabs Nostalgia from behind, spins him round, and hits him with Sister Abigail! He goes into the cover for 1..... 2..... KICK OUT! Wyatt picks him up but suddnely Tomas hits a low blow on Wyatt. Tomas grabs the still hurting Nostalgia and hits him with an Inverted Frankensteiner! Tomas is about to go into the cover but Marcus grabs him and whips Tomas into the corner and covers Nostalgia instead. The ref counts 1..... 2..... Tomas pulls Marcus off. Tomas and Marcus start brawling with each other as Nostalgia tries to climb to his feet again. Storm is up too and as Nostalgia gets up Storm hits him with a Super Kick. Nostalgia falls over the top rope to the outside. Storm is about to follow him but Marcus cracks Storm over the head with the singapore cane and then a DDT. Marcus falls to the mat and there's about 25 minutes remaining.)

JR: Nostalgia is clinging to the title.

King: Still almost half the match remains, there's no way he can hold onto it.

(Nostalgia climbs to his feet but is clearly feeling the effects of the match. He starts to head up the ramp and Christy Hemme comes out onto the ramp too and joins him. Christy talks to him and he takes hold of her hand and looks like he's just going to leave. But Fred Tomas is up and decides to run after him. Christy moves aside as Tomas gets there but Nostalgia turns around and blasts Tomas with brass knuckles, seemingly handed to him by Christy. Christy smirks at having outsmarted him. Nostalgia positions Tomas for a powerbomb, and then moves him round as if to Powerbomb him off the ramp! Nostalgia hits a big powerbomb on Tomas off the ramp and through a stack of tables! Trainers rush down to check on him and Nostalgia heads back to the ring. He slides in and hits a fist full of brass knuckles on Wyatt.... and then Marcus.... but then he turns around and walks straight into Lightning Strikes Twice from Matt Storm!! Storm hooks the leg for 1..... 2....... 3!!! Matt Storm is the Extreme Champion with 18 minutes and 33 seconds remaining.)

JR: Tomas might be taken out of the match.... and Storm came out of nowhere to grab the title.

King: Wyatt and Marcus didn't see the knuckles... but Storm had it scouted.

(With everyone down, Matt Storm slides out of the ring, and grabs his Extreme Title. He takes a seat behind the timekeeper and just waits. Bray Wyatt is the first man to stir and try to climb to his feet. Marcus pulls himself up next. He runs at Wyatt but Wyatt counters and hits a big suplex on Marcus. Nostalgia is slow getting to his feet. Wyatt grabs him looking for Sister Abigail but Nostalgia hits him with a low blow. Wyatt goes down hard and rolls out of the ring, but Marcus is up and grabs Nostalgia and hits Hell Awaits! Marcus goes into the cover but there's no count. The referee has to explain to him that Nostalgia lost the title while he was down. Marcus looks furious and bangs the mat in frustration, and then looks up and sees Storm smirking at ringside. Marcus slides out the ring and runs over but doesn't see the title in Storm's hand and storm smashes Marcus in the face with it. Marcus is down and Storm positions him on the barricade. Storm then hit's Lightning Strikes Twice on Marcus and sends him over the barricade!)

JR: After so much punishment, just climbing over that will take a lot out of Marcus....

(The time is under 11 minutes now. Everyone is down and out and Matt Storm laughs. Storm just goes to walk away from the match now with nothing left to do. He gets halfway up the ramp but suddenly none other than Hardcore Kid is at the top of the ramp. Storm looks confused as Kid hammers away on him with some quick right hands. Kid throws Storm hard into the ring steps after battling him to the bottom of the ramp. He then throws him into the ring. Wyatt was waiting for him, and grabs him, and his Sister Abigail on Storm! Nostalgia grabs Wyatt from behind and throws him out of the ring. Nostalgia covers Storm and the referee counts 1..... 2...... 3!!! Nostalgia has the belt back with 9:49 on the clock.)

JR: With a strange assist from Hardcore Kid, Nostalgia has the belt back.

(Nostalgia is waiting as Wyatt climbs back into the ring, and Nostalgia kicks him in the midsection, and then hits his newer finisher, the Jedi Mind Trick! Wyatt is down and Nostalgia is able to catch his breath while all his opponents are down and out. Marcus is pulling himself over the barricade and eventually makes it. The clock is ticking down as Marcus tries to crawl back into the ring. Nostalgia slides out of the ring as Marcus gets near and he smashes Marcus's head off the steel steps. Wyatt comes from behind and bounces Nostalgia's head off the ring post. Nostalgia is dazed and Wyatt his a big suplex on him on the outside. Wyatt hooks the leg for 1.... 2.... kick out! Wyatt looks frustrated. He throws Nostalgia into the ring. Matt Storm is up and Storm stomps away on Nostalgia. Storm picks him up, and then plants him down with a DDT. The clock is ticking down and there's only a few minutes remaining.)

JR: Nostalgia is almost there.... it's a race against time for everyone else.

(Storms starts calling for Lightning Strikes Twice. Wyatt slides into the ring though and hammers away on Storm. They trade blows and while they're distracted Christy slides a Sledgehammer to Nostalgia. Nostalgia does his best to conceal it. Wyatt clotheslines Storm down and then measures Nostalgia. Nostalgia climbs up and turns but blasts Wyatt square in the head with the hammer. Wyatt falls out of the ring and is out of it. Nostalgia goes over to Storm and blasts his leg with the hammer. Storm clutches at it. 2 minutes remaining. Marcus has managed to pull himself into the ring unnoticed by anyone. He slowly climbs up to his feet. Nostalgia turns and Marcus kicks him in the midsection and hits Hell Awaits! Marcus falls into the cover for 1...... 2......... but out of nowhere Tomas is back and Tomas breaks the pin! Tomas is still clearly feeling the effects of his fall, but he clotheslines Marcus over the top rope and steals into the cover himself for 1..... 2...... Nostalgia kicks out! Tomas looks on in disbelief. Under a minute to go now. Tomas goes over to the corner and pulls himself up to the top rope. He measures Nostalgia and leaps off looking for a frogsplash, but Nostalgia counters by putting the knees up. Tomas rolls out of the ring in pain. Marcus is back in and measures Nostalgia. Before he can do anything though Storm spins him round and nails him with Lightning Strikes Twice! Nostalgia gets up and Storm rolls him up for 1..... 2........ KICK OUT! Nostalgia gets up and hammers away on Storm as the time expires.)

JR: Nostalgia's done it!

King: He was champion for almost all of the match as well....

Kris: Hell of an impressive display.

(Shockwave goes off air with Christy collecting the Extreme Title and handing it to Nostalgia who raises it high.)
