ECW on Sci Fi
A recap of Rob Van Dam's betrayal of Smackdown last Friday night was shown to kick off ECW for the night. We were then taken straight to the arena where the music of one of ECW's new recruits – Chavo Guerrero – started off the night.
Styles – "Good evening folks, and welcome to ECW – only on the Sci Fi network. What a week we've had in regards to Survivor Series – Rob Van Dam becomes the fifth and final member of the NWO team for Survivor Series!!"
Tazz – "Yeah, and Shane McMahon has announced that he will be here tonight to name the ECW/Smackdown team facing them!! But first – it's Chavo Guerrero taking on the undefeated, psychotic Deranged in one on one action!"
Chavo came to the ring with an air of unease about him – facing Deranged was not on his 'to do' list!
The sound of The Enemy by Godsmack filled the arena – before it went dark. Deranged appeared from his usual hole in the arena floor behind Tazz's announce table, and he stepped over the guard rail as the lights came back up... When suddenly his music stopped!
Deranged looked around in confusion as no-one seemed to know what had happened – Umaga's music played!!!! The Samoan Bulldozer and his manager Estrada charged the ring and he and Deranged immediately began exchanging blows on the floor!!
A surprised Chavo laughed at the scenes, and made an exit to the back as the two monsters beat each other senseless! Umaga seemed to have the upper hand on the bigger Deranged, slamming him into the steel steps before backing up and charging – Deranged moved out of the way and Umaga plowed into the steps!!!!
Umaga staggered around, dazed from the impact as Deranged grabbed him by the throat – before lifting him onto his shoulders and delivering the Final Flight through the announce table!!!!
Styles – "OH MY GODDDDD!!!"
Umaga lay motionless as Deranged's music hit again, and he stalked back to his podium, before disappearing again. Umaga was still out on the arena floor as ECW went to its first commercial break!
Commercial Break
ECW returned with a replay of the Final Flight being delivered to the 400lb Umaga, who was only just beginning to stir from the wreckage of the announce table. Estrada helped him to the back as Tazz grudgingly took a seat beside the irate Joey Styles at the other announce table.
Styles – "I just can't believe that Deranged picked up Umaga with that much ease!!! He decimated him – does this mean he accepts Umaga's challenge??"
Tazz – "I don't know – I witnessed it first hand – Deranged is a freak of nature! He destroyed my announce table!"
Styles – "Yeah, one thing I'm not happy about... having to share with a traitor is not my idea of a fun job."
Tazz – "You know what, Styles?? You've been runnin your mouth about me for the past two weeks – how about you put your money where your mouth is??? You and me – in that ring – later tonight!!"
Styles – "As much as I'd love to kick your ass Tazz – I'm a broadcaster... I don't wrestle."
The music of the NWO hit before Tazz could reply, and the entire entourage appeared – Michaels, Finlay, Benoit, Van Dam... and John Cena!!!
Styles – "What the hell is John Cena doing here?? He's a Smackdown Superstar last time I checked – and didn't Shane ban him last week?"
Tazz – "How about you shut your mouth and maybe we'll find out?"
The five men postured and posed to the angry crowd – who were almost drowning out the music with their hate-filled chants. They got into the ring and each were handed mics.
Michaels – "Now come on guys!! That's no way to greet the pioneer of ECW – Rob Van..."
RVD – "I'll take it from here Shawn..."
Crowd – "You Sold Out!! You Sold Out!!"
RVD – "I did not sell out – don't you bastards dare accuse me of selling out!!! I joined the NWO for one reason – and one reason only... that ECW – sorry, NWO – Championship!!"
The crowd cheered this news as Michaels looked a little shocked.
RVD – "You see, Shawn here rang me up and said they were in a bit of a bind... you see, apparently John Cena's little defection hit fans a little harder than first thought..."
The crowd erupted – "Cena Sucks – Get the Fuck Out!!"
Cena simply laughed in the ring.
RVD – "So he knew what appealed to me – that Title. Screw Smackdown, Screw RAW... That title is what I crave more than anything on this earth – and that's what Shawn offered me. Join the NWO, help them take over ECW and Smackdown – and finally Shawn and I will fight it out for the NWO Championship!!"
Michaels – "Well now that you got that off your chest Rob, you can take a little step back for a minute. Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all ages – allow me to introduce to you – the World Heavyweight Champion – John Cena!!!!!"
Cena stepped forward as the other four men pointed in typical NWO fashion towards him.
Cena – "I guess you're all wondering why I'm here, huh guys??"
The crowd booed heavily.
Cena – "After my treatment at the hands of Smackdown's – 'finest' – last Friday, and Eric Bischoff's personal promise to end my title reign – Shawn and I went to the Board of Directors. Tell 'em, Shawn!"
Michaels – "Yeah, the Board deemed Eric's behaviour to be 'unfitting of a General Manager' and thus transferred the World Heavyweight Champion to this show – effective immediately... until after the Survivor Series!"
Styles – "That damn coward Cena!! He can't even stand up and face what he did!"
"Here comes the money!!! Here comes the money..."
Shane McMahon's music suddenly played, and the ECW interim manager made his way to the stage to the shock of the NWO – as the crowd cheered loudly.
Shane – "Well, well, well – welcome to ECW John!!! If you want to stay on this show however – you have to earn your keep. So therefore.."
Cena – "What Shane?? A handicap match for this title? Six on one – how about you just bring every sorry son of a bitch out here right now so we can get this over with!"
Shane – "John – you misunderstand me entirely. Unlike Smackdown – I believe in treating ALL my stars equally... even those who try and kick my head off."
Benoit – "How about you come down here and we do it again – you little bitch?"
Shane – "Being honest, Chris – there's nothing I'd like more than to set the entire locker room on you five right now – but instead, I'll settle for Survivor Series when you morons are beaten and fired!!!"
The crowd cheered loudly again for this.
Shane – "Because it is at this time tonight that I have decided to name your Survivor Series opponents. Five men who you have all dealt with in the past – From ECW... The Sandman!!!!"
The crowd erupted at this announcement.
Shane – "Hold on guys, that's not all – The Sandman will team up with The Hardy Boyz... and from Smackdown – Batista and the number one contender, Indy Trice!!!!"
Styles – "What a team!!! The NWO are in for one hell of a fight!!"
Cena – "You know what, Shane-O-Mac?? For one minute I thought you were gonna be man enough and step into the ring with us – but you haven't got the guts, have you!!!"
Shane – "Au contraire, John... I desperately wanted to be on this team I have assembled... but I have other issues to settle – with that son of a bitch sitting there, Tazz!!!!"
Styles began laughing as Tazz turned around in shock.
Shane – "Yeah, you piece of trash – you wanna turn on me, after the opportunity I gave you? So I issue you this challenge, Tazz – at Survivor Series, Tazz VS Shane McMahon... in a Street Fight!!!"
The crowd exploded – what a match that would be!!!
Tazz stood up from his announce position and headed straight for Shane who was standing on the stage. He grabbed the microphone from him as the fans booed heavily.
Tazz – "I accept!"
Tazz dropped the mic before pushing past Shane and walking off backstage.
Shane picked up the mic again – "I'm not finished yet guys, don't even think of leaving!! John Cena's official induction to the ECW brand will be in a six-man tag team match – competed under Extreme Rules... where he will team up with his new buddies Finlay and Rob Van Dam – to take on three fifths of the Survivor Series team... The Hardy Boyz and The Sandman!!! And that match is up next – so security can you please remove the other two in-discrepancies from ringside and get this match underway!!!"
With that, Shane dropped his mic and left to a huge cheer from the audience as the protesting Michaels and Benoit were hauled from the ring and dragged backstage.
Commercial Break
As ECW returned, Sandman was caning the life out of Finlay in the aisle as the Hardyz worked over Cena and Van Dam in the ring. Cena was pummeling Jeff in the corner as Matt suddenly caught Van Dam with a tornado DDT. Matt then charged across the ring and nailed Cena in the back of the head with a clothesline, before both Matt and Jeff whipped him into a corner. Matt then went down on his knees and Jeff charged... nailing the Champ with Poetry in Motion!! Matt then kicked the dazed Cena in the stomach before looking for a Twist of Fate.. Van Dam broke it up with a powerful kick from the top rope!!
Cena and Matt tumbled to the outside as Jeff and Van Dam began brawling, Van Dam gaining the upper hand with a swift kick to the temple. He then whipped Jeff against the ropes, before ducking under him and attempting to flip him with his legs – Jeff countered with a double leg drop into Van Dam's mid-section! Jeff then pulled RVD to his feet and threw him the corner before hitting a Whisper in The Wind!!!
Sandman was now stomping on Finlay as he lay on the ground, with marks all over his body from the beating he had received with the cane. Cena had recovered at this stage and whipped Matt straight into the steel steps, knees first. Matt crashed across them and lay on the floor holding his knees as Cena pulled something from his shorts... A pair of brass knucks!!
Cena pulled on the knucks and sauntered towards Sandman, who continued to beat on Finlay. He dragged Finlay up and looked for the White Russian Leg-Sweep – Cena nailed him between the eyes with the knucks!!!
In the ring, Jeff had just dropped Van Dam with a jawbreaker, and ascended the top rope for the Swanton Bomb... Cena ran to the ring and pushed Jeff off, sending him crashing head-first into the guard rail! He lay motionless on the floor as Cena threw Matt into the ring – where Van Dam nailed him with the Five Star Frogsplash!!! He covers... 1 – 2 – 3!!! The NWO have dominated ECW!!!
Cena grabs the bleeding Sandman and throws him into the ring, as Finlay pulls a table out from under the ring and slides it inside. The two men then climb in as Van Dam kicks the un-moving Matt from the ring, before Sandman gets up and Spears him!!!
The crowd explodes as Sandman rains blows down on Van Dam, but they are quickly silenced when Cena cracks Sandman across the back of the head with the knucks a second time. He then mounts him and punches him repeatedly in the face, knocking him out cold as the crowd show their anger.
Finlay and Cena then drag Sandman to his feet and lay him on the table which has by now been set up as Van Dam ascends the top rope again... he delivers another Frogsplash to Sandman, driving him through the table!!!
Finlay slides to the outside, stopping to stomp on the recovering Jeff Hardy a few times, before grabbing a chair from under the time-keeper. He then rolls back into the ring and lays the chair on the floor. Cena grabs a mic again.
Cena – "This – is what you call ECW's finest??? You idiots have a lot to learn – this is what we do to people who get in our way – Batista, Trice – at Survivor Series you will be destroyed.. just like this piece of trash here!!!"
Cena picks up the Sandman by his hair – "Finlay – finish him off!!!"
Finlay grabs Sandman... and hits the Celtic Cross onto the steel chair – driving Sandman's head and neck straight into the steel chair!!!!!! Cena drops his mic and spits on the lifeless Sandman, before the three men raise their hands in the middle of the ring to end the show.
