Quick Death vs. Eldridge Ali

Tuesday Night Extreme
Feb. 18, 2003

("Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down hits the PA as Quick Death makes his way out from the back to a big eruption from the crowd. He enters the ring and the arena explodes to the point where "Oye Como Va" cannot even be heard... Eldridge Ali comes out and basks in the glory of the fans. Eldridge enters the ring and looks at QD. The two embrace in a hug as the match starts.)

Jeff Hartman - It's a double bear hug!!

Jack Wallace - Actually it's a sign of respect.. but you wouldn't know about that, now would you?

Jeff Hartman - Hey dickweed.. I know all about respect. I respect the fact that you suck harder than Monica did to the executive branch!

(QD and Eldridge circle each other in the ring, waiting for an opening. They can no longer wait and they lock it up. They power around the ring, but neither of them can get the upper hand so they break off. They look and nod to each other before locking up once again. QD places Eldridge into a side headlock which wears him down to one knee, but Eldridge quickly battles back up as he tries to throw QD off of him, but QD will not budge. Eldridge then counters by lifting QD up and down with a back drop suplex, but QD still holds onto the hold and then converts it into a triangle hold. Eldridge knows he's in trouble as he scoots to the ropes and grabs a hold of them, forcing QD to break to hold, which he doesn't think twice about it. Both of them stand and Eldridge immediately goes into a lock up position. He backs QD into the corner and opens up with a knife edge chop across the chest, but QD quickly reverses it and goes for a punch, but Eldridge ducks out of the corner, under the arm of QD, and then behind him, where he quickly reaches back and nails a hangman's noose neck breaker. Eldridge makes a cover, hooking the leg. One............................. Two................................. QD kicks out.)

Jack Wallace - You can feel it.. this is going to be a big time classic....

Jeff Hartman - I'll say...

Just when you think everything is set to happen a certain way, or just when you think everything is going to go on it's normal track...something happens. Something so devastating, so electric, and so moving, that it changes the motion of something forever. What's this something called? It's called a surprise. A surprise is defined in the dictionary as to cause to feel wonder, astonishment, or amazement, as at something unanticipated. Nowhere in the definition, that is defined in inteligent dictionaries made by scholars, does it say that a surprise has to be good or bad. Whether the surprise be good or bad, is up to the people involved in the surprise. It could be like a surprise birth party, with cake, laughter and friends, or it can be a surprise like a parent dying, with sadness, woe and misery.

In X Wrestling, things seemed to be back on track. Guys like Disciplinarian, Mike Patterson, and K.C. Hight were all returning to the wrestling world's longest running federation called X Wrestling. People were eating up the returns of these legends of XWF, and tuning in to see more and more. Everything seemed like an episode of the Brady Bunch...when things looked their worse, everyone would sit together and sing a corny song in the end...what a happy ending. Too bad in X Wrestling, a surprise was about to hit them right in the ass...how little did they know who it would be.

Suddenly a commotion began in the audience, as numerous fans began to sit up and switch their attention to the crowd. Suddenly, the fans began to roar in excitement, as some other fans wondered what was going on. The match was still commencing between Eldridge Ali and Quick Death, as the two put on a hell of a show...but than the commotion switched from the ring, to the audience...something was brewing...a little surprise. The two wrestlers backed away from one another as they both looked perplexed and stared at the audience...what they saw...they didn't believe.

Two figures hopped over the guard rail, and half the crowd roared in excitement as they all recognized the faces that had just hopped over the guard rail that separated the common man from the superstars...obviously they belonged on the superstar side. After all, who were ever as big of stars as these two former PIW wrestlers were. The fans couldn't believe their eyes, neither could the wrestlers in the ring. For right at the ringside area, currently harassing ring side attendants were none other than the most controversial team to ever set foot inside of a wrestling ring.

Sean Studd.

Trey Vincent.

Team EGO, the Extremely Gorgeous Outlaws.

The duo looked arrogantly in the ring for a moment, before completely blowing off the two competitors at ringside, and harassing a few more ring side attendants. The duo soon walked up to the ring announcers desk, and simply smiled at Jack Wallace and Jeff Hartman, who both were speechless as to what Team EGO was doing in X Wrestling. Sean Studd, the younger of the two, leaned against the table and looked straight across at the announcer's desk at Jack Wallace, before lightly slapping the announcer against his face, and grinning arrogantly at him. Trey Vincent, known as TV for short, held back his partner before turning to the ring announcer and grabbing his microphone.

"Is this thing working?" asked Trey Vincent, "Wow, amazing, a federation such as this actually has working PA System"

Their came the heat, as the fans began to jeer a bit, as some continued to cheer at the excitement of the duo entering X Wrestling. The two wrestlers in the ring were slowly instructed to leave the ring, as the duo of Team EGO rolled into the ring and grinned as they waved off the two competitors, whose matches were so rudely interupted. Sean Studd leaped onto the top rope and began to wave as the two wrestlers were instructed to leave, as Trey Vincent stood dead center in the ring, microphone in his hand.

"After hearing the biggest fan reaction in X Wrestling history, I assume you know who we are," Trey said with a smirk, "But for those of you who have been living under a rock for the year of 2002...allow me to introduce myself and my associate. Ladies and Gentlemen, you should all feel prevelidged for the true Franchise Player of the Sports Entertainment Industry allows you to listen to his words of wisdom right here tonight. Ladies and Gentlemen you are gazing upon the most elite of all sports entertainers...you are gazing upon...Trey Vincent!"

A huge mixed reaction came from the crowd, as The Franchise Player smiled and slowly handed the microphone over to Sean Studd, who leaped off the second rope and snatched the microphone from TV's grasp. Sean Studd looked around the arena, and stopped a few times to pass an all famous *wink* over at a few female fans. Sean Studd just grinned as he stared back at TV and proceeded to the introduction.

"And his partner," Studd began, "Is deemed many great names. He is the Amazon of Athletesism, the Definition of Devastation, the Creation of Charisma, the Meaning of Man, the Lover of Ladies...and to all of you ladies...the Stud of Satisfaction...ladies and gentlemen you are looking upon the Studdster himself...SEAN STUDD!"

"And many of you might ask yourselves, what are such big stars such as ourselves doing in the redneck community of wrestling known as X Wrestling?" Studd asked the fans, "Well, it's very very simple. Although Team EGO is very much in this game for the ladies and the fact that we get to entertain every single week. Team EGO is also in this business for a few other reasons, one of the bigger reasons is...power"

"Without power, a man is nothing more than a man...but with power, a man is a god," Studd said with a grin upon his face as he walked around the ring, looking at the poor excuses for fans, "And getting power in X Wrestling was very simple folks, very simple indeed. You see, when you own a federation for four years, and still remain with low ratings...you HAVE to know something is wrong. It just took good ol' Jason Roberts that long to finally realize that Mike Patterson, Ben Sythe, and Ninja K weren't cuttin' it. It just took good ol' Jason Roberts four years to finally figure out that he needed some REAL stars in this business. And it only took four years for good ol' Jason Roberts to finally contact the biggest stars of them all, to join his ranks"

*SNATCH!*, it was TV's turn at his prized microphone.

"Oh sure we were offered many contracts," stated Trey Vincent, "But with every contract came a lot of loop holes. Hell, we contacted by the good ol' north of eeeeefffff dubbbyaaaa oohhhhh themselves...but in that oh so small fine print it stated something very important. And if the Franchise Player can quote, 'Under this contract, neither parties are permitted to do such parodies, or insult segments, upon any management of any federation, including the employer fWo Corporations.'," in the corner of the ring, Studd simply grabbed his crotch at the comment.

"Well let Trey Vincent go on record upon something," announced TV, "NO ONE, and the Franchise Player absolutely means NO ONE, censors Team EGO. We don't care if its the big time of eeefff dubyyaaaa ohhh, the federation with the most overrated superstars that Trey Vincent has ever seen....we don't care if its the middle time of aWc, a federation that seemingly kills PIW stars one by one...and we don't care if its the good ol' Peee eye dubya, the federation that returns to life more than Kodiak Vic Creed, Borst AND Sean Cylear combined!"

*SNATCH!*, Sean Studd's turn at the mic.

"We do what we want, when we want. And when we got the phone call from Roberts, there was only one thing we were interested in. Money and Power, and guess what folks? We got both of those in a nutshell," Studd slowly reached into his denim pocket and pulled out a slip of paper, "In my hand is just one page of the contract...and I want you to notice something. See all of those zeros? That's our salary...per month. Folks, we are making more money than most of the main eventers in this fucking shit hole!"

The jeers became large at this point, as Studd smiled and *SNATCH!* went the mic to Trey Vincent.

"It seems that X Wrestling really knows how to treat royalty, and what better royalty than two guys that can boost the ratings up, even farther than the branch inside Eron the Relentless's ass? That's right, no one can boost the ratings more than the original ratings boosters themselves," Trey walked over to the Studd and quickly *SNATCHED!* the contract from his grasp, "And this contract allows us to do whatever we want, for the largest salary in this company. I wouldn't be surprised if X Wrestling would have to get rid of some of the jobbers like Cameron Cage, Nash Spaes and Billy Dynamite, in order to keep up with our monthly salary. But allow Trey Vincent to assure Xw of one thing...

It'll all be worth it in the end"

*SNATCH!*, yep, it was Sean Studd's turn again.

"And when Roberts becomes more of a millionaire than the executives up in the bigger federations, and he's spitting down the throats of guys like Eron the Relentless, High Flyer and LLB, he'll remember who to thank. He'll remember to get on his knees and kiss the asses of the men that saved his company from drowning in low ratings...he'll be kissing the asses of Team EGO," Studd said with a very wide grin.

"But that still leaves the question alittle unanswered. With Trey and I being such big stars in this business, how the hell did we ever come across such a lowly federation such as this one? I mean, we were living large in the constantly ressurecting Peee Eye Dubya, why would we lower ourselves to join such a jobber of a federation...even if the money is good! Well, there is a logical explanation for that, really there is..."

*SNATCH!* Yell into that mic TV, cause it's YOUR turn once again.

"But that logical explanation," Trey looked over at Studd, who nodded in his direction, "Will just have to wait...but here's a hint folks...let the suspense begin. You see two of us standing in this ring right now, telling you everything you need to know about us...but there is one number missing from this equation. Sure, you look in this ring and you see the Epitome of Entertainment, and the Gods of Greatness...but what you don't see...is the last man to this dynamic duo, no pun Blast/Iceman pun intended"

"You see, there is one last man to this Team EGO equation...and this man was the one that directed us here even before Roberts called us up. And who is that man? Well...lets just say he'll be making his surprise return soon enough. But until than, you'll all just have to sit back and enjoy what the Team EGO of 2003 has to offer...and believe me...it's alot"

*SNATCH!*, come up to the plate Sean.

"And on that note folks...We are Entertaining...and we are Gorgeous...*cheap female pop*...and we damn sure are outlaws of this business. So X Wrestling...Trey and myself...would like to welcome you to the saviors of your company. X Wrestling, prepare to be deemed the big boys of this business, because with Team EGO on board...X Wrestling will never be the same again...count on it," Studd said as he dropped the microphone and raised his arms in victory.

The fans were a bit mad at the bashing of X Wrestling by Team EGO, but the majority were simply electric with cheers. Team EGO, the most controversial team to enter the wrestling world, was back in the business and decided to make X Wrestling its new home. The supposed "saviors" had entered the ranks of X Wrestling, but so many questions were unanswered at this point. What would the wrestlers think of this? Are Team EGO really the highest paid superstars in Xw thus far? And most importantly...who is the last man in the Team EGO equation?

Let the suspense...begin.
