"Blah" speech'Blah' thoughts
Three days later in Manila, Philippines, the ECW locker room was preparing themselves for a major announcement from ECW manager Paul Heyman. The WSC were in their locker room watching as ECW began broadcasting. Leon walk out of the room while Rebecca, Punk, and Merino were watching for the announcement. Heymans entrance music started and he walked out, flanked by his two bodyguards. He was greeted to an entire arena of boos as he walked to the ring.
"Now, I'm sure you're all wondering what my big announcement is right?" Heyman said into the microphone. He was rewarded with a thunderous "YES!" from the audience. "Well, then if you want to know that bad, then I'll tell you right now! In one month, at Royal Rumble, there will be a match for the ECW World Title. Now, until then we will be having elimination matches for the No. 1 Contender Match the week before Royal Rumble, starting tonight!" The crowd cheered heavily at this announcement.
"Now, for our first match. I'm sure you all know about what happened last week during the Mixed Six Man Tag Team match where Kevin Thorn interfered. Well, we have one angry extremist that wants a match. So the match tonight will be Kevin Thorn versus LZK!" Heyman finished and gave the microphone to the referee as Leon's music 'I Will Be Heard' announced his arrival.
Back in the locker room Rebecca, Punk, and Merino were looking at each other in shock.
"Did you know about this?" Rebecca asked the two.
"No, I sure didn't." Merino replied.
"I didn't either. But it's no surprise, especially after what Thorn did last week." Punk commented.
"We should go and make sure nothing happens." Rebecca said with concern.
"No. This is Leon's match not ours." Punk said to her.
They turned back to the TV as Kevin Thorn's music began. The entire arena went red as Kevin Thorn came out accompanied by Ariel. Thorn smirked as he walked to the ring where Leon was stretching in anticipation. Out of nowhere Trinity came running from the back and speared Ariel to the concrete. Thorn immediately turned and went after her. He grabbed Trinity and was about to slap her when LZK speared him to the ground signaling the start of the match.
LZK picked Thorn up and started to walk him to the ring when Thorn suddenly whipped LZK into the steel steps. He picked LZK up and rolled him into the ring and got in himself. LZK rolled around on the mat. Thorn picked LZK up and put him on his shoulders for the Crucifix Powerbomb. LZK flailed his legs and was able to get off of Thorn's shoulders and he pushed him into the ropes.
Thorn came running back and LZK swung Thorn onto his shoulders-LZK Stunner to Thorn! LZK went for the pin 1...2...kick out! 'Can never have a quick match can I?' LZk thought as he whipped Thorn into the turnbuckle. LZK went to spear Thorn, but he received a boot in the face. Thorn immediately jumped on him, throwing right hands. Thorn stood LZK up and threw him over the top rope right onto Trinity, who had been advancing on Ariel. The two Extremists lay on the ground in pain as Thorn slid out of the ring.
Thorn shook the hair out of is face as he grabbed LZK. Thorn picked LZK up and whipped him into the steel pole. The referree started the count as Thorn continued to stalk LZK.
1 LZK lay motionless on the ground.
2 Thorn posed for the crowd as he stood above LZK.
3 LZK got to one knee, but Thorn kicked him in the face, knocking him back to the ground.
4 Thorn turned away and slid back in the ring, posing for the crowd with Ariel.
5 LZK slowly got back up to his feet and staggered to the side of the ring.
6 LZK slid back in the ring and drop-kicked Thorn in the back of the head! He saw his chance and ascended the turnbuckle. As LZK got to the 3rd rope, Thorn climbed up after him. The two men exchanged punches atop the turnbuckle. LZK stunned Thorn long enough to get him onto LZK's shoulders. LZK saluted the crowd and leaped off the turnbuckle, delivering a powerful neckbreaker to Thorn. LZK quickly covered for the pin 1..2..3! LZK advances!
Trinity slid into the ring and held up his arm in victory. LZK turned to Trinity and swept her up into a hug and thanked her for her help. They posed for the crowd then turned to leave, but Thorn had other plans. As LZK turned away, Ariel slid a chair to Thorn. He stood up and ran at LZK delivering a huge chair shot to the back of his head, knocking him to the mat. Trinity turned to Thorn, but Ariel delivered her own chair shot to the back of Trinity's head. Thorn and Ariel left LZK and Trinity motionless in the ring as they walked through the curtain to the locker room.

Please please read and review.
