The ECW Logo appears on the screen as Superbeast by Rob Zombie begins to blast through the arena. The camera is pivoting around, catching all the fans as they begin to go nuts.
JOEY STYLES: Hello everyone and welcome to E...C...W! I'm Joey Styles along with my good friend Tazz and we are live in front of a sold out crowd here at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City! What a great show we have on tap for you tonight....
TAZZ: That's right Joey! Tonight we're going to see if Raven has what it takes to stand up to Batista in a Raven's Rules match for the ECW Title!
JOEY STYLES: Not only that but the finals of the Hardcore tournement are tonight as well as the Big Red Monster Kane squares off against Matt Hardy in a First Blood Match!
The nWo theme music begins to play and the crowd seems a bit confused.
STYLES: What the HELL is this?
TAZZ: I have no idea!
STYLES: These guys don't even work for the company!
The crowd pops HUGE! When Stevie Richards appears from behind the curtain wearing a b.W.o. shirt.
STYLES: Oh jeez. *Snickering* Well I guess since it's all owned by the WWE then Stevie Richards finally gets his wish and the b.W.o. has inherited the rights to the original music.
Stevie's in the ring and has the mic.
RICHARDS: Big Stevie Cool is in the HOUUUUUUUUUUUUSE!
Monster Pop for Stevie from the crowd.
RICHARDS: That's right, the b.W.o is representin' and we got the new theme music to prove it! Now I know you're all out there thinking...But Big Stevie, you're out there by yourself....There's no b.W.o anymore! Well let me tell you something right now! The b.W.o is about to have a membership drive! That's right! The greatest group in all of professional wrestling is looking to add some talent to it's roster!
Stevie pauses and looks around at the crowd with a smug grin on his face.
Let me put it this way......I got three words for ya!
CROWD: We're Taking OVER!
RICHARDS: You're DAMNED RIGHT!
Stevie drops the mic and puts his foot on the bottom rope and leans on the ropes shooting his fist in the air, swiping from Kevin Nash. The nWo music begins to play.
STYLES: Well that's definitely an interesting way to start off the night!
TAZZ: You know I always thought that Stevie Richards was a few screws loose. Now I think he's plain nuts! *chuckles*

KENNEDY! Mr. Kennedy's music begins to play and Ken Kennedy comes stomping out of the back and towards the ring. He's scowling as he slips into the ring and holds his hand up for the mic that descends from the ceiling.
KENNEDY: Last week that punk Matt Hardy got lucky and managed to steal away my shot at the Hardcore belt. What a load of crap that was! Tonight I get to fight the old and feeble minded loser that for some reason you people all love! Well tonight....From the great state of Wisconsin.....The man, the myth, the legend.....MISSSTERRRRRR KENNNNNEDY!
He Jumps up onto the second turnbuckle and looks out at the crowd, takes in a breath......And Man in the Box by Alice In Chains blasts through the arena cutting him off.
TAZZ: Ohhhh I'm thinking Kennedy's not going to like that!
Tommy Dreamer appears in the entranceway....at his side...
STYLES: OH MY GOD! IT'S BEULAH! BEULAH's BACK IN ECW!
TONY CHIMEL: And introducing his opponent...Being accompanied to the ring by Beulah McGillicutty....The Hardcore Icon....TOMMY DREAMER!
The Crowd pops HUGE for Tommy and Beulah...a She's Hardcore chant starts up as the two make their way towards the ring.
Kennedy doesn't wait for them to get to the ring. He slides out of the ring and charges Tommy and the two begin exchanging right hands at ringside. Kennedy kicks Tommy in the gut and grabs the back of his head attempting to smash it into the ring steps but Tommy blocks it!
Tommy with an elbow to Kennedy's gut...once, twice, three times! Kennedy let's go of Tommy and Tommy grabs Kennedy by the head and slams him face first into the steps!
STYLES: Has this match even offically started?
Kennedy staggers backwards and into the guardrail. Tommy Nails him with a running clothesline that sends Kennedy spilling out into the crowd!
YEAAAAAAAAAH! Dreamer screams and streches his arms out into the crucifix position. A He's Hardcore! Chant errupts from the crowd.
Unnoticed by either wrestler the ref has started to count.
1.....2......
Tommy Nails Kennedy with a right hand. Then a second and a third that rocks Ken Kennedy. On the fourth one Kennedy blocks the punch and lands one of his own to Dreamer.
3....4....
Dreamer Staggers back from the punch and Kennedy hops back over the security railing. The two men continue to brawl, heading back towards the entraceway.
5....6....
Dreamer kicks Kennedy in the gut and goes for the Evenflow but Kennedy reverses it into a Mic Check!
7....8....
Kennedy looks down at Dreamer then at the ring as he realizes there's count going on. Kennedy sprints down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope as the ref counts....
9....10!
Charles Robinson calls for the bell. He raises Kennedy's hand to the boos of the crowd.
STYLES: Well...I guess a win's a win.
TAZZ: Oh I don't think this is over! Kennedy may have got the cheap win but Tommy Dreamer won't let it end there!
Dreamer's up on his knees, holding the back of his head and staring up at the ring. Beulah is there consoling him as he stares daggers at Ken Kennedy.

The show comes back in the backstage area. James Mitchell is talking to someone who is just off camera.
MITCHELL: I'm telling you, if you join the Ministry there would be no force in ECW that could stand up to us.
The camera pans out to show Mitchell is talking to the Big Red Monster Kane!
Kane: Mitchell...I'm not going to tell you this again....I have no interest in joining your Ministry. I have my own dark path to walk and it doesn't involve you!
MITCHELL: You're making a mistake Kane! I promise you!
Kane shoves The Sinister Minister out of his way and walks off camera.

Icky Thump by the White Stripes begins to play as the camera switches back to ringside.
CHIMEL: And from Little Italy.....Nunzio and Santino Marella....The Full Blooded Italians!
Nunzio and Santino come from behind the curtain and get a pop from the crowd!
STYLES: Well Tazz it looks like the FBI has made it's return here at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
TAZZ: Yeah but boy do they have a challenge ahead for them tonight!
Hell by Disturbed rips through the arena.
CHIMEL: And their opponents....Being led to the ring by James Mitchell.....The Big Show and Umaga....The Ministry of Darkness...
STYLES: Look at these MONSTERS!
TAZZ: And James Mitchell isn't done, he's trying to recruit Kane to join the Ministry as well!
STYLES: But as we saw earlier, Kane is not exactly receptive to joining up with Reverend Mitchell's Ministry.
The two monsters get into the ring and attack the FBI before the bell could even ring. Massive right hands to Santino from Big Show, Punches and then kicks to Nunzio after he falls to the mat from Umaga's assault.
STYLES: They're unstoppable!
Big Show lifts Santino up by the throat and throws him over the top rope to the floor. Santino lays in a heap on the concrete floor as both of the big men team up on Nunzio. They throw him into the ropes and level him with a double clothesline that flips Nunzio into the air in a full 360 degree spin.
Big Show picks Nunzio up off of the mat by the throat and lifts him high over his head....CHOKESLAM! The big man picks up Nunzio and dumps him into the corner, laying against the turnbuckles in the sitting position. Umaga lets out a yell and takes off at full speed. He spins and slams his backside into Nunzio's face with a sickening impact.
Santino manages to roll back into the ring and runs right into a big boot from the Big Show.
STYLES: This is disgusting! And look at Mitchell, out there cheering these two monsters on!
Kane's music hits and the Big Red Machine comes running out to the ring. He nails Big Show with a clothesline as he turns to face him. Several right hands to Umaga face stagger the Samoan monster.
Big Show regroups and nails Kane in the back with a massive fist that staggers Kane. Umaga grabs Kane and levels him with the Samoan Spike!
STYLES: Kane is down! Kane is down!
Kane suddenly sits up and is met with a boot to his face from Big Show. Umaga hits the ropes and delivers a Samoan Splash to the big man.
STYLES: Wait a minute! What's James Mitchell doing?
The Sinister Minister is up on the apron, signaling to Big Show and Umaga to pick Kane up. Each man grabs a shoulder and lifts Kane up off of the mat.
Mitchell holds his hands together and then relases them as a fireball shoots out of his hands and directly into Kane's face! The Big man bellows in pain and drops to the mat, rolling around, his hands clasped tightly to his face. The screams of pain are incredible.
The offical calls for the bell as Big Show and Umaga put the boots to Kane. The ref signals to the back that he needs help controling the situation and from the back comes Matt Hardy!
Matt slides under the bottom rope, a chair in hand and begins to swing it with all his strength! He catches Big Show full in the face, catches Umaga in the back of the head with the first blows. He alternates between the two big men until they fall out of the ring and to the floor below. Security and medics come running from the back.
Mitchell gathers Big Show and Umaga together and the three men head to the back, Mitchell laughing gleefully along the way.
STYLES: I can't believe what I just saw......
TAZZ: It's sickening Joey.....Just sickening. I guess this is what happens when you say no to The Ministry.

STYLES: We're back and as you can see Matt Hardy's still in the ring as the officals help Kane out of the ring. Just moments ago we saw this totally disgusting display by James Mitchell and his Ministry of Darkness.
Replay clip runs of the fireball...This time in slow motion as it strikes Kane full in the face. Forwards to Matt Hardy coming out to give the assist.
Back to the ring and Matt Hardy has a mic.
HARDY: Ministry! I've never seen such a vulgar display in my life! Now I'm sure I haven't seen the last of you monsters but right now I don't care! Kane was supposed to be my opponent tonight in the finals of the Hardcore title tournement but it looks to me like he's not going to be able to compete tonight! Now I'm willing to wait until Kane gets better and fight him then because to be honest that's the only right thing to do....
KENNEDY! Ken Kennedy's music begins to play and Kennedy stomps down to the ring, mic in hand.
KENNEDY: Now hold on just one damn minute! Sure it's a shame what happened to Kane but we both know that your win over me last week was a fluke! So I say we have a match, right here, right now to determine who holds the hardcore title!
HARDY: You want a piece of me? That's fine with me! Get us a ref out here and I'll beat the hell out of you again this week!
Man in the Box begins to play and Tommy Dreamer runs down the entranceway and slides under the bottom rope. He gets right in Kennedy's face and the two have a staredown. Tommy rips the mic from Kennedy's hand.
DREAMER: The way I see it you and me we've got some unfinished buisiness!
Kennedy takes a step back from Dreamer.
DREAMER: Why not make it for the Hardcore title! I am the Hardcore Icon in ECW! I should be the one wearing that damn belt!
A HE'S HARDCORE! Chant errupts from the crowd.
STYLES: Looks like the crowd likes that idea!
Superbeast by Rob Zombie plays and Paul Heyman stops at the top of the ramp and looks down at the ring.
PAUL HEYMAN: So it seems that we have an issue for the Hardcore title don't we? It seems I'm down a competitor for the finals of that match doesn't it? Ken, I can understand where you think you belong in the match, after all, you did just beat Tommy Dreamer tonight didn't you?
Kennedy shakes his head up and down, a smug grin firmly in place.
HEYMAN: And Tommy Dreamer! We all know that you're the hardcore icon, if anyone should have been in this tournement it should have been you!
So here's what I'm going to do....At Backlash, we're going to have a three way dance! Ken Kennedy versus Tommy Dreamer, versus Matt Hardy.....In a Street Fight match!
Kennedy pumps his fists in the air and turns away from Paul and right into a kick to the gut by Tommy Dreamer followed up with an EVENFLOW DDT!
Tommy Pops to his feet and raises his arms in the crucifix position only to be kicked in the gut by Matt Hardy and leveled with a Twist of Fate!
Matt raises his hands in the air and crowd POPS HUGE for Matt Hardy and begins to chant...ECW! ECW! ECW! ECW!
