HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ONGOING EUROPEAN TITLE TOURNAMENT IS SHOWN AS WELL AS A PLUG FOR ICE STORM 2004.] *'HARDCORE NIGHTS' - STARFISH PLAYS* (THE CAMERA PANS AROUND THE ARENA AS THE PYROS INSIDE THE STADDE ABBE-DESCHAMPS. SOME OF THE SIGNS READ ‘FRANCE HATES THE CONNECTION’, ‘HL WILL BE CHAMP AGAIN’ AND ‘WE ALL HAD SHRIEK’. THE CAMERA SHOT SETTLES ON MAHONEY MCMILLIAN AND TREMERE AT RINGSIDE.) MM: Hold onto your seats folks it is another wild ride with the T.F.W.F.. Monday Mayhem live from France and with Ice Storm 2004 also starting to take form this will be a night to remember. TRE: Personally tonight could be the turning point for the T.F.W.F., Hellbound want revenge and I have a feeling The Vigilantes are going to be their targets. Ashton Manley vs Vinchenzo (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall... *’HOLY DIVER’ – DIO PLAYS* (MIXED REACTION VINCHENZO EMERGES TO THE APPROVAL OF THE FANS WHO GIVE HIM A NICE POP. SPORTING HIS ‘V-WEAR’ SHIRT HE GOES DOWN THE RAILING TO GIVE THE FANS HIGH FIVES BEFORE ENTERING THE RING AND POSING FOR THE AUDIENCE.) JH: Making his way towards the ring from Boston, Massachusetts...weighing 218 pounds...Vinchenzo!!! MM: One exciting high flyer is the native Bostonian... TRE: He will certainly be a test for the debutant. *'THE ONE AND ONLY' CHEESNEY HAWKES* (INDY FAN REACTION. ASHTON MANLEY WALKS ONTO THE STAGE, SPINNING AROUND IN A CIRCLE BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING.) JH: And his opponent...from Sydney, Australia...weighing 200 pounds...Ashton Manley!!! MM: Former DWIWF and CABWF wrestler and I believe might have even had a stint in PFL, Trem. TRE: He has done it all and now he is on the biggest stage of them all, the T.F.W.F.. MM: We are about to have a wrestling clinic in this ring, as two great highflyers will do battle. Vinchenzo, former Light-Heavyweight Champion and Vigilante Member, and Ashton Manley a newcomer straight from Australia, who has all the tools to make it to the top in the T.F.W.F he is a definite blue chipper in my book. TRE: Oh my God Mahoney, stop drooling you'll short circuit the monitors. Manley is good, but he isn't god's gift to wrestling! During the start of the match, Vinchenzo and Manley put on a great series of chian wrestling which wowed the crowd. Both men went to the air, but Manley quickly started going after Vinchenzo's legs trading his aerial skills to his technical skills. MM: Look at Manley, he knew he'd couldn't beat Vinchenzo in the air, so he quickly started his ground assault, going after Vinchenzo's legs so he couldn't fly. TRE: Shut up about Manley already! Manley kept his attack concentrated on the right leg of Vinchenzo, using single leg crabs and figure four leg locks. Vinchenzo, got to kick Manley in the face with his free leg and hobbled around the ring. He went to the top rope, and hit an awkward hurrancanrana which hurt his leg but got a pin on Manley, the ref counted and Manley got out. After 5 different pin reversals and false finishes, Manley once again applied pressure on the injured right leg. MM: These two have proven why the Light-Heavyweight division is back in the T.F.W.F. Shane Anderson better watch out because they could easily challenge him fro his Championship. TRE: Especially Manley, cause we all know Manley is the best! MM: I didn't not say Manley is the best, but he definitely belongs here in the T.F.W.F.. The finish...Vinchenzo reaches the ropes and the ref orders for the submission hold to be broken. Vinchenzo and Manley go back into chain wrestling and Manley hits a German suplex with a pin on Vinchenzo but Vinchenzo kicks out. Manley whips Vinchenzo into the corner, Vinchenzo leaps onto the second turnbuckle, he turns around and flies off with the 'Wrath of Vinchenzo' but Manley reverses it into a Boston leg crab as Vinchenzo taps out! Winner, via submission: Ashton Manley Match rating: 2 stars. Match time: 5:30. Ashton slides out of the ring, as the crowd cheers him heavily. He goes up the ramp as the ref raises his arm in the air. (THE CAMERAS CUT BACK TO THE LOCKER ROOM OF THE FLAWLESS CONNECTION WHERE WE SEE MIKE MITCHELL SITTING DOWN WHILST RHYS PECT IS PACING BACK AND FORTH.) RP: This is ridiculous! Why do I have to waste my time with Mr. Blowtime at Saturday Night Slam! He LOST last week and he has LOST to me on numerous occasions already! MM: Well I guess he'll just have to lose again... RP: Yeah, I guess. But why do I have to prove myself yet again?! This is exactly the kind of injustice that I'm talking about, Mike! We don't need to tolerate this crap anymore... when I'm the champ I guess everything will be alright. MM: Whoah whoah whoah... When "you" are the champ? RP: Yeah, when I'm the champ... (MITCHELL CUTS PECT OFF.) MM: IF you can beat me in the final... RP: Excuse me?! MM: You heard me loud and clear, kid. RP: Don't call me kid, you stupid Canadian! (MITCHELL STANDS TO HIS FEET AND GLARES AT PECT. PECT'S FACE TURNS TO ONE OF CONCERN AS MITCHELL SLOWLY WALKS OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM. PECT IS LEFT STANDING BY HIMSELF.) RP: Stupid Canadian... (PECT WALKS OFF WITH A LOOK OF DISGUST AS THE CAMERAS CUT BACK TO RINGSIDE.) (THE ACTION CHANGES TO BLAKE TRUE WALKING BACKSTAGE, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS ENTOURAGE. VINCHENZO ROUNDS THE CORNER AHEAD AND STOPS AS HE FACES THE MASS OF PEOPLE.) BT:  Urgh! Surely that's a mask you are wearing, I can't imagine that something as ugly that could actually live. It must be a Halloween costume that you’ve forgotten to remove. (TRUE APPLAUDS HIS OWN WITTICISMS AND HIS ENTOURAGE RESPOND BY POINTING AND LAUGHING AT VINCHENZO. VINCHENZO IS VISIBLY UPSET BUT TRUE CONTINUES THE VERBAL ASSAULT.) BT: And your clothes! Tom Cruise will just die when I tell him about you. You look as though you shop at the GAP rather than somewhere more stylish, like Versace. (BLAKE TRUE WALKS OFF TO WHERE HE WAS HEADING, APPLAUDING HIMSELF. HE IS FOLLOWED BY HIS ENTOURAGE WHO ARE ALL GIVING THE WORST FAKE LAUGHS EVER HEARD.) (RINGSIDE.) MM: What arrogance by this man Blake True, particularly after Vinchenzo had just lost to new star Ashton Manley. TRE: It's about time someone told Vinny who fricking ugly he is. European Title Semi Final Round Match Jost McClain vs Mike Mitchell (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall and is a semin final match in the European Championship tournament... (POP.) *’WICKERMAN’ – IRON MAIDEN PLAYS* (CROWD HEAVILY BOO. MITCHELL SPINS HIMSELF ONTO THE STAGE AND PULLS OUT A BICEP POSE. HE REMOVES HIS SUNGLASSES AND THROWS THEM INTO THE CROWD, NOT FOR THE FANS, BUT AT A FAN. HE STRUTS TO THE RING.) JH: Introducing first from Calgary, Alberta, Canada...weighing 215 pounds...Mike Mitchell!!! MM: Little bit of tension we saw this tournament has brought on The Flawless Connection Trem. TRE: Well, its for the European title, what the hell did you expect? *’OUT OF MY WAY’ – SEETHER PLAYS* (CROWD POP LOUDLY. A RAIN EFFECT OF PYROS EXPLODE ALL AROUND. THE T.A.T. FLIES OPEN WITH A SINGLE CROSS WITH THE WORDS SAVIOUR SCROLLING ACROSS IT. JOST MCCLAIN COMES OUT WITH HIS FINGERS POSED IN A DOUBLE DEVIL HORN AND MAKES HIS WAY TOWARDS THE RING.) JH: And his opponent from Toronto, Canada...weighing 216 pounds...Jost McClain!!! MM: Mike Mitchell won through to this round after an easy victory against Armageddon last week at Monday Mayhem. I can’t see this match being so easy. Who do you tip to go through tonight? TRE: I couldn’t tell you who will win this match, but I can tell you that both men are capable of putting on one hell of a performance. The match starts off with both men putting on an exhibition in high-risk, high flying wrestling. The advantage swings between both men throughout the beginning which gets a great reaction from the crowd. MM: Neither man seems to be able to get an advantage early in this one, but what a performance it has been so far. TRE: Both men are extremely talented, but Mitchell’s mastery of all aspects of wrestling could be the deciding factor later in the match. The match settles as Mitchell tries to emulate Shane Anderson’s victories of McClain by switching to a more technical approach. McClain has trouble adapting to the switch in style and Mitchell takes control. Mitchell locks in the ‘Canadian Cloverleaf’ but McClain is in easy reach of the ropes and the ref breaks the move up. MM: Mike Mitchell has obviously been paying attention to Jost McClain’s battles with Shane Anderson. McClain will have to make some changes to counter this new angle of attack from Mitchell. TRE: I don’t think there’s anything he can do to win this one. Mitchell has obviously had him well scouted and should finish this quickly now. The momentum of the match starts to swing between both men as McClain adjusts to Mitchell’s style. The match really hots up as each man gets numerous near-falls. The crowd are really into exchanges between the two men and pop like crazy as McClain gets another two count. Mitchell tries to finish it with a ‘Flawless Facebuster’ but McClain ducks the move and hits ‘The Baptism’ as Mitchell bounces back off the ropes. McClain gets the pin for a tough victory. Winner, via pinfall: Jost McClain Match rating: 4 and a half stars. Match time: 16.28. MM: What a match and what a victory by The Saviour as he advances to the final to either meet Mr. Showtime or Rhys Pect! TRE: That's only the sort of amazing action Mayhem can bring you Mac! (MONDAY MAYHEM GOES TO COMMERCIALS.) (T.F.W.F. RETURNS WITH THE MANAGEMENT WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY, WHEN HE IS STOPPED BY SHANE ANDERSON. ANDERSON LOOKS FURIOUS AT THE MANAGEMENT AND BEGINS TO SPEAK) SA: So your the famous Management? MG: Yes, and your Shane Anderson, my current Light-Heavyweight Champion. SA: Exactly, and as your current Champion, of the best division in the T.F.W.F I am appalled that you have not given me an opponent for Ice Storm 2004. How do you expect to get buyrates if Shane Anderson isn't on that PPV? (THE MANAGEMENT LOOKS ANDERSON UP AND DOWN RATHER ANNOYED) MG: Look, Anderson, I am the Management, the man who built the T.F.W.F from the ground up. I don't know how Ian Monks ran things, catering to your every desires, but things will be very different. You want a spot on the PPV, earn it, show me what you got against the giant Armageddon, and then we'll see if you can be on the PPV. SA: Oh Ill show you, and Ill definitely beat Armageddon. And by the way from now on, no more tours of England. The people there smell, they have bad teeth and a stupid queen no Canadian would dare respect, I was damn glad to leave there last week and I will not be going back! (ANDERSON LEAVES AS THE MANAGEMENT SCOFFS.) (THE ACTION CHANGES TO SNIFF WALKING QUICKLY THROUGH THE BACKSTAGE AREA. JASON LEARY GRABS HIM AND TURNS SNIFF TO FACE HIM.) JL: Where are you going in such a hurry? S: I overheard Shane Anderson disrespecting the English to The Management. I thought you might want to know. JL: That jumped up…  Well, maybe it’s about time that Shane Anderson found out what being English is all about. (JASON LEARY PICKS UP A CHAIR SITTING AGAINST THE WALL AND HEADS TOWARDS ANDERSON’S LOCKER ROOM. SNIFF STANDS, LOOKING AT LEARY STORM OFF AS THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO RINGSIDE.) MM: What complete arrogance by Shane Anderson dissing the great people of England as well as the birth place of T.F.W.F.. TRE: Thing is whatever he says...he backs it up in the ring. Shane Anderson vs Armageddon (BELL RINGS.) JH: This match is scheduled for one fall... *'AMERICAN IDIOT' - GREEN DAY PLAYS* (MASSIVE CROWD HEAT. SHANE ANDERSON WALKS OUT WITH A CANADIAN FLAG IN HAND. HE WALKS DOWN THE RAMP AND SLIDES INTO THE RING AND RAISES HIS ARMS IN THE AIR.)  JH: Introducing first from Calgary, Alberta, Canada... weighing 222 pounds... he is the T.F.W.F Light-Heavyweight Champion... Shane Anderson! MM: Well here's the Light-Heavyweight Champ, Trem... His skills may be shown in that division but how will he fare against the giant known as Armageddon? TRE: Well we saw it happen last week when Mike Mitchell made the guy tap out, maybe Shane Anderson can do it here again tonight?! *'ENTER SANDMAN' - METALLICA PLAYS* (PYROS EXPLODE EVERYWHERE AS ARMAGEDDON WALKS ONTO THE STAGE AND MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.) JH: And his opponent from Hell's Kitchen, New York... weighing 359 pounds... Armageddon! MM: Here is the man himself, Armageddon. And one is only to wonder what kind of mood he is in after the his defeat last week to Mike Mitchell... The match began with Armageddon simply using his power to his advantage to start the match off with numerous irish whips to the corner. Armageddon followed up with splashes in the corner in order to take the wind out of Anderson. However, as Armageddon pulled Anderson out of the corner for a pump handle slam, Anderson was able to score with a sneaky low blow kick to Armageddon. From this moment, Anderson quickly took control for the rest of the match with numerous dropkicks and shots to the knees of Armageddon. As Anderson got cocky with his domination to the big man, Armageddon made one desperate grasp at the throat of Anderson in order to set him up for "The End". Anderson was able to grab the large arm of Armageddon though and lock on "the Confession". Armageddon struggles for the ropes but Anderson scurries away from them. After a long struggle for the ropes, Armageddon is forced to tap out for the second week in a row. Winner, via Submission: Shane Anderson Match Rating: 1 Star Match time: 6.02 MM: That's the second time in two weeks that Armageddon has tapped out to a much smaller opponent. One must be wondering how he feels... TRE: Like crap I would gather... Wait a minute, what the hell is Leary doing out here?! (JASON LEARY ALL OF A SUDDEN IS SEEN RUNNING THROUGH THE CROWD AND JUMPS THE GUARDRAIL. MEANWHILE, ANDERSON IS CELEBRATING HIS VICTORY IN THE RING AND THINKS THE CHEERS DIRECTED TO LEARY ARE IN FACT FOR HIM. ANDERSON NODS IN APPROVAL WITH WHAT HE THINKS ARE CHEERS TO HIM AS LEARY GRABS THE TIME KEEPERS CHAIR AND SLIDES INTO THE RING. ANDERSON THEN TURNS AROUND ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SICKENING CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD BY LEARY. LEARY STANDS OVER ANDERSON AND RAISES HIS ARMS HIGH IN THE AIR AS THE CROWD CHEER.) MM: A statement has been made here tonight ladies and gentlemen by Jason Leary… obviously showing who he feels is his next target. (ACTION GOES BACKSTAGE, SNIFF IS STANDING WITH THE PEACEMAKER.) SN: Maker, tonight in front of all these fans, your long awaited rematch with Fallen Angel is on the cards a man who has certainly had the psychological edge over you. PM: Psychological...Sniff tell me does your Mother fuck your Uncle? SN: Huh? PM: Answer me the question. SN: I don't have to stand for that question! PM: Exactly and neither...do...I! (MAKER THROWS SNIFF INTO THE WALL AND WALKS OFF.) (THE CAMERAS CUT TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHERE WE SEE FALLEN ANGEL WALK DOWN THE CORRIDOR AS KURT DAWSON APPEARS NEARBY WITH A MIC IN HAND.) KD: Angel, I would like to ask a few questions if you don't mind... FA: Well yes I do mind as a matter of fact and listen to me when I advise you to stay the hell away from me or Hellbound for that matter! KD: But Angel if you could just... FA: SECURITY! (ANGEL CLICKS HIS FINGERS AS TWO SECURITY GUARDS APPEAR AND DRAG A RELUCTANT KURT DAWSON AWAY. ANGEL THEN MAKES HIS WAY INTO THE HELLBOUND LOCKER ROOM AND SLAMS THE DOOR BEHIND HIM. THE CAMERAS THEN CUT BACK TO RING SIDE.) MM: Neither man wanting to talk about what promises to be an absolute barn burner Trem. TRE: Is this a semi prelude to the fatal four way at Ice Storm 2004? I think so. The Peacemaker vs Fallen Angel (BELL RINGS.) *’COCHISE’ - AUDIOSLAVE PLAYS* (MASSIVE CROWD HEAT. THE ARENA LIGHTS CUT OUT AS THE FANS ALL GET TO THEIR FEET.  THE TA-TRON BURSTS INTO LIFE AS THE FLAMING ANGEL DESIGN FALLS FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN TO THE BOTTOM.  THE HELLBOUND LOGO FLASHES ON THE SCREEN AS A BRILLIANT WHITE LIGHT EMANATES FROM THE TOP OF THE RAMP, BLINDING THE FANS.  WHEN THE LIGHT FADES FALLEN ANGEL AND SHRIEK ARE STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP.

A LIGHTENING BOLT FLASHES THROUGH THE SKY SLAMMING INTO THE RAMP WAY ENTRANCE. AS THE ARENA LIGHTS FLICKER STRANGE BLUE COLOURS THE PEACEMAKER MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING.)  MM: Two of the four men wrestling for the T.F.W.F. Undisputed Heavyweight Championship at Ice Storm, Peacemaker and Fallen Angel, this is sure to be a red hot main event with a lot on the line! TRE: Fallen Angel, should be the one wearing that T.F.W.F Undisputed Championship, while Peacemaker, should be forming a new group. The match begins a huge brawl between the two warriors, the crowd is buzzing as these two men pound into each other. At the very start the rules are thrown out as they brawl around ringside and into the crowd ignoring the referees count and he stops counting himself. They get back towards ringside and near the announce table. Angel removes the covering and monitors from the announce table, and places Peacemaker on it, Angel goes for an elbow off the apron onto Peacemaker but Peacemaker rolls off the table, and Angel goes through the table alone. MM: Good GOD! Fallen Angel is completely out of it. Peacemaker only has to get him in the ring and pin him! TRE: Peacemaker may have rolled off the table, but he seems real out of it as well, this will be a battle to see who gets up first. Peacemaker eventually does get up, and he rolls Angel into the ring and pins Angel, but Angel kicks out at 2 and half. Sean Smythe and Doc run down the ramp, and begin to rile up Angel to get up. Peacemaker notices them as does the ref. Smythe gets on the apron, and Peacemaker knocks him out with a punch, Doc gets on the apron also and Peacemaker knocks him out also. Armageddon and Grunt run down the ramp, and brawl with the tag champs up the ramp. Peacemaker turns around and Angel hits him with his version of the 'Silencer', and both men are out. Peacemaker from the move, and Angel from exhaustion. MM: Those Hellbound punks, tried to cost Peacemaker this match and got what was coming to them. Thank God Armageddon and Grunt came out and took them away. TRE: Well Armageddon and Grunt where rather quick in coming down the ramp, who says their original intentions weren't to attack Angel? The finish..Angel drapes an arm over Peacemaker and the referee counts 1....2... Peacemaker kicks out as the crowd cheers. Angel gets up angered and begins to argue with the referee. Peacemaker gets up and goes to clothesline Angel, but Angel pushes the ref in the way and Peacemaker takes down the ref. Angel slides out of the ring, as Peacemaker sees what he did. Angel grabs a chair and slides into the ring. He goes to hit Peacemaker with it, but Peacemaker kicks it into his face.

Hardcore Legend gets in the ring, and grabs the chair. He waits for Peacemaker to get up and hits him upside the head with it again, as Fallen Angel observes smiling, then 'Blur' by Charmless man plays over the sound system as the crowd goes crazy. Fallen Angel's eyes go wide as he turns around and Scally takes him out with title shot to the face.
