48. Extreme Team

Chapter Forty Eight: Extreme Team

---x---

Alright, on WWE(dot)com they changed the Rey Mysterio/Kane v. Finlay/Big Daddy V match to the Hardy Boyz v. Kennedy/MVP. So that match will take place as scheduled, but also announced on WWE(dot)com was a tag match pitting Tommy Dreamer and Kane against Kevin Thorn and the Great Khali (not really, but i announced it last chapter).

As for ECW, Matt Striker came out and talked about Big Daddy V, but Hornswoggle came out from under the ring and attacked him, causing Striker to run away screaming. Then Horny did his Irish Jig in the ring. Also, for the Punk/Noble match, only Morrison joined Styles and Tazz at the announce table.

---x---

ECW was live from Wichita Kansas, and had just come back from a commercial. Before the break the Punk/Noble match had just ended and Morrison had left Punk lying motionless in the middle of the ring, and then they showed Dreamer, Kane, Thorn, Khali, and Singh walking down to the ring in a split-screen camera shot, that was the main event, and that was scheduled for after the break. But now ECW was back, and entrance music played, but it wasn't Slow Chemical and it wasn'tMan in the Box, it wasn't even Thorn or Khali's theme music. Instead it was Riot Time. The camera went to the entrance ramp, but Machetti was nowhere to be seen, cameras scanned around the arena until they saw Machetti, dressed in street clothes, jeans and a black t-shirt, making his way down to the ring through the crowd, in a Sandman fashion.

The fans cheered loudly and started chanting Machetti when he climbed up onto the barricade and raised his arms up into the air. Machetti climbed down off of the barricade and slapped hands with some of the fans as he made his way around the ring. Eventually he reached the announce table, where he took Morrison's vacated seat next to Tazz and put on a set of headphone.

"Hey partner, it looks like we've got another special guest commentator," pointed out Styles.

"You've got that right Joey," replied Tazz. "Machetti, its great to have you here at the ECW announce table."

"Thanks Tazz," said Machetti once his headphones were on, "Its at times like these that I wish that I was still allowed to compete on this brand. But I wouldn't miss this for the world. Survivor Series is only five days away, and I can't wait."

"Neither can we, Machetti," answered Styles, "we've got so many great matches to look forward to. The WWE Title Match, the Hell in a Cell match, the ECW Title Match, a ten diva tag match, and TWO elimination tag matches. I can hardly wait."

"Machetti, this Sunday you're going to be leading a team of your own into Survivor Series," said Tazz, "you've got Paul London, Brian Kendrick, ECW Original Tommy Dreamer…"

Tazz was cut off by a loud explosion of red pyro and then Slow Chemical hit. Kane came out from the back and headed down to the ring. At the announce table Machetti stood up and applauded. "…and this man right here," continued Tazz, "the Big Red Machine, Kane."

"That's right Tazz," replied Machetti, "incase you've forgot, I teamed with Kane last year at Survivor Series, and before that we teamed up in a tag team cage match on Smackdown. I know that he's a hard worker and he's exactly what we need for our team."

In the ring Kane turned and nodded at Machetti, then Man in the Box hit. Tommy Dreamer came out from the back and joined Kane in the ring. "Alright, so Machetti, you told us about Kane, now tell us about Dreamer," prompted Styles.

"Well, I've faced Tommy a few times before," answered Machetti, "The guy is tough and nails and never says die. He's more likely to get knocked out than to give up or tap out. It's that kind of heart that we need on our team. If nothing else, Survivor Series is gonna be a blast!"

Suddenly Kevin Thorn's music hit and ECW's resident vampire came out from the back and made his way down to the ring. "Well I don't know if fighting this guy is my idea of fun Machetti," commented Tazz, "Kevin Thorn is big, mean, and he's always out for fresh blood."

"Kevin Thorn is a great competitor, I'll give him that," admitted Machetti, "but he's really just like Snitsky. And incase you forgot Cyber Sunday, I beat him. I'm sure Thorn is the same case."

The Great Khali's theme music hit and the Punjabi Giant came out from the back accompanied by Runjin Singh. "Now, Machetti," said Styles, as Khali made his way down to the ring, "how do your prepare for someone like Khali? The man is seven foot three, four hundred and twenty pounds. What kind of strategy will you be using at Survivor Series?"

"I'll be using the same strategy I always use," replied Machetti, "move quickly and stay on him. Incase you missed Raw last night, during the first half of that eight-man tag match, my team was really clicking. We worked together well and we were all over Snitsky. That's what we need to do against Khali."

"I did see Raw last night," commented Tazz, now that all four men were in the ring, "but what I noticed was that Vice Grip Khali had locked in on you. I mean, can you describe how that felt?"

"It hurt," answered Machetti, "it felt like my skull was going to implode at any second. But I had everyone routing for me, and I managed to find a way out of it. It might not have been perfectly legal, but it got the job done."

In the ring the two teams were discussing who was going to start the match, they ended up deciding on having Dreamer and Thorn start it. The referee called for the bell and the match was underway.

"Here we go, boys, this thing is underway," said Styles.

Thorn and Dreamer locked up, but Thorn over powered Dreamer and backed him up to the ropes, the referee came over and made the count. Thorn waited until the referee was at four and a half to finally let go.

"See, there's the thing with Kevin Thorn," pointed out Tazz, "the guy is hell bent on inflicting pain and as much punishment as possible. He doesn't care if he gets himself disqualified."

"Well getting himself disqualified won't do anything for his team on Sunday," said Machetti, "he'll be gone, and we'll have an advantage then."

Thorn had backed off and gave Dreamer some time to recover, but he quickly came back and drove his knee into Dreamer's stomach, sending Tommy down to his knees. Thorn then straddled Dreamer and stood over him, then rained down hard shots, right to the back of Dreamer's head.

"And there goes Thorn with those vicious shots," narrated Styles, as Thorn continued to work over the back of Dreamer's skull. "Look at the intensity!"

"Yeah, that's just brutal," commented Machetti, as Thorn pushed on Dreamer's back, causing him to smash face first down to the mat. Then Thorn got up and hit and elbow drop. Thorn rolled Dreamer onto his back and went for a pin, ONE… TWO… Dreamer kicked out.

Thorn got back up and pulled Dreamer to his feet, then rammed him back into the corner that had Khali in it. Thorn then drove his shoulder into Tommy's stomach over and over again. Thorn kept Dreamer pressed into the turnbuckle then reached in and tagged in Khali.

"Uh oh, Dreamer's in trouble now," said Tazz as Khali got in the ring. Khali grabbed Dreamer around the throat, then tossed him clear across the ring. "Look at the strength, Dreamer is no small man, and Khali just tossed him across the ring like a rag-doll."

"I know first hand about the strength of Khali," replied Machetti, as Khali stalked over to Dreamer, "the guy's a monster. But I know Dreamer will be able to hang in there."

When Dreamer made it up to his feet, Khali raised his arm up above his head, then clubbed his arm down on top of Dreamer's head for an overhand chop. Tommy hit the ground hard and rolled over to the ropes. Khali walked over to Dreamer and pressed his foot down into his back, then he grabbed onto the ropes and applied all of his body weight to Dreamer's back, causing him to scream out in pain.

"That's four hundred and twenty pounds right across the back of Dreamer, how much of that can he take?" wondered Styles out loud.

"Don't forget Joey," added Tazz, "Dreamer has a history of back injuries, I'm not sure if Khali knows that, but that's certainly not helping it."

Khali eventually got off of Dreamer, but that was only when the referee threatened to disqualify him. Khali picked Tommy up, then turned him upside down and slammed him back-first down to the mat with a scoop slam. Khali followed up with an elbow drop then went for the pin.

"This could be it!" exclaimed Joey, "ONE… TWO… Dreamer got the shoulder up!"

"See, Dreamer wont give up," said Machetti, "Khali's gonna have to kill him, before Dreamer lets himself get pinned."

"Just hope he doesn't have to take too much of this Machetti," commented Tazz, "otherwise he might not be one hundred percent come Sunday."

Khali got off of Dreamer and up to his feet, Tommy reached up and attempted to used Khali to pull himself back up, but the Punjabi Giant raised his arm up above his head the n brought it down across Dreamer's back, sending him crashing back down to the mat. Khali then reached down and grabbed Tommy by the back of the shirt, then, literally, dragged him into the corner and tagged in Thorn.

Thorn came in all fired up and stomped all over Dreamer's back, driving his foot into it over and over again. Thorn pulled Dreamer up and whipped him into the corner, then rushed at him and nailed a running clothesline.

"Wow! Did you see the impact of that clothesline?" questioned Styles, "you can't take many of those and expect to win!"

"Well it's gonna take a lot more than that to pin Tommy," countered Machetti.

Thorn must have heard Machetti, because he grabbed Dreamer, then lifted him up and sat him up on the top rope. Thorn climbed up onto the middle rope in front of Dreamer, then climbed up onto the top rope with Dreamer, and eventually came off and nailed a top rope superplex.

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Styles, that's gotta be it!"

Both Dreamer and Thorn were down, Thorn rolled onto his stomach and crawled over to Dreamer, then draped his arm over him for a pin.

"Come on Dreamer!" shouted Machetti as the referee made the count, ONE… TWO… THR… DREAMER GOT THE SHOULDER UP! "There you go! Hang in there, man!"

Thorn got up then rolled Dreamer onto his stomach, then he ran to the ropes, came back, jumped up into the air, then came crashing back down with a double knee drop. Thorn moved around and made another cover, ONE… TWO… TH… but Dreamer kicked out.

Thorn glared down at Dreamer, then pulled him up and dragged him over to the corner and tagged in Khali. Khali came in and pulled Dreamer up to his feet, then pushed him, sending Dreamer back into the ropes .Dreamer came back and was leveled with a vicious clothesline.

"Machetti, I know you keep talking about how Dreamer never gives up, but how much abuse can one man possibly take?" asked Styles.

"Dreamer will take as much as he needs to," replied Machetti, "he'll hang in there, find his opportunity, capitalize, then made the tag. And just like that, this match is gonna turn around."

Khali pulled Dreamer up onto his feet, then doubled it over and clubbed him across the back, sending Tommy down to his knees. Khali followed up and clubbed Khali over the back again, knocking Dreamer down to the floor. Khali then stepped forward and walked over and stepped on Dreamer, then walked over him until he was standing on the other side. The whole time, Tommy screamed out in pain as Khali pressed his entire four hundred twenty pounds of weight into his back.

Khali stood over Dreamer and raised his arms up into the air, then let out a loud roar. Khali then reached down and grabbed Dreamer around the throat, then he lifted Dreamer right off of the ground and into the air. At the announce table Machetti pushed his chair back and stood up, "COME ON DREAMER! I COULD GET OUT OF THAT!"

Khali turned and glanced at Machetti, Dreamer took advantage and hit Khali with a headbutt, then raked Khali's eyes. Khali dropped Dreamer down to the mat and staggered backwards. Machetti sat back down as Tommy got back up and ran to the ropes. But when he came back, Khali lifted his leg and spun around, catching Dreamer with a big spinning kick, knocking Tommy down to the mat.

"See, every time Dreamer tries to capitalize Khali squishes him," pointed out Tazz. "I've got all the respect in the world for Tommy Dreamer, but I don't think he can take much more!"

"I don't know, Tazz," replied Machetti, "I think Dreamer's got a little left."

Khali reached down with one hand and pulled Dreamer up with his shirt. Khali grabbed Dreamer around the throat, then tossed him across the ring and into the corner, where Dreamer's back made contact with a loud thud, he ended up flopping forward and fell on his face.

Khali walked over then reached out and tagged in Thorn. Thorn came right in and stomped on Dreamer's back, then pulled him up and whipped him into the ropes. When Tommy came back Thorn bent down, then launched Dreamer up into the air for a back body drop. Dreamer hit the mat with a thud and Thorn came over and went for a pin, ONE… TWO… THR… Dreamer kicked out.

"Even if he does have a little left, Machetti," said Tazz, "every high impact move takes a little bit more out of him. It won't be long until Dreamer completely runs out. This is tag-team wrestling one oh one. Keep one opponent isolated and work him over until he can't fight back."

"Well Dreamer's not gonna stop fighting back," Machetti told him, "and that's why he's on my Survivor Series Team."

Thorn got up off of Dreamer and pulled him up to his feet, then Thorn bent Dreamer over before lifting him up above his head looking for a crucifix powerbomb. "Thorn is going for the crucifix powerbomb!" exclaimed Styles, "if he hits this, this match is over!"

But suddenly Dreamer started struggling and wiggling, he managed to get free and land on the mat behind Thorn. Thorn spun around and attempted to regain control, but Dreamer kicked Thorn in the gut, then connected with the DDT. "THERE YOU GO TOMMY! NOW TAG KANE!" shouted Machetti from the announce table.

Both Dreamer and Thorn were down, and both men were crawling towards their corner, Dreamer pushed himself up off of the mat, HE GOT THE TAG! "Here comes Kane!" said Machetti, as the Big Red Monster got in the ring.

Kane rushed over to Thorn and grabbed his foot before he could reached Khali, then he dragged Thorn into the middle of the ring, pulled him up off of the mat, then slammed his knee down to the mat for a knee smash. Kane held onto Thorn's leg, then swung him around and across the ring. Thorn went crashing down to the mat on the other side of the ring.

Thorn fought up off of the mat and up to his feet, but Kane ran over and nearly took his head off with a big clothesline. Thorn got back up, and Kane whipped him into the ropes, when Thorn came back Kane lifted his leg and nailed a big boot.

"Wow, what a boot to the face!" observed Tazz, "That'll loosen a fang or two!"

With Thorn down Kane went to an empty corner, then climbed up onto the top rope. Once Thorn got up and turned around, Kane came off and nailed a flying clothesline. "Wow!" exclaimed Machetti, "see, you don't see big men go up top a lot. That's like a small airplane crashing into you!"

Kane got back up and stood up with his arm raised up behind him, he was calling for the chokeslam! "If Kane hits this, THEN, it's over!" Machetti said to Styles and Tazz.

Thorn got back up and turned around, Kane grabbed him for the goozle, but suddenly Khali came over and attacked Kane from behind. Kane knocked into Thorn and both of them fell, Kane down to his knees, and Thorn down to the mat. Khali turned Kane around, then wrapped his hands around Kane's skull and locked in the Vice Grip.

"Khali's got the Vice Grip locked in!" exclaimed Styles, "I don't think Kane can fight out of it."

"You might be right, Styles," commented Machetti, "I'll see you around." Machetti pulled off his headphones, then walked around the announce table and climbed up onto the ring apron, then shouted at the referee. The referee came over and shouted at Machetti, "Get out of here!" snapped the referee.

"Then get control of the match!" snapped Machetti.

But while Machetti had the referee distracted, Kane nailed a big low blow on Khali. Kane shoved Khali backwards. The referee moved out of the way as Khali stumbled backwards. But then Kane ran in and nailed a clothesline, while Machetti grabbed the top rope and pulled it down. Khali stumbled backwards and fell out of the ring and down to the floor.

Kane stood and smirked at Machetti, but then Machetti leaned over and whispered something to him. Kane grinned then turned around. Thorn rushed at Kane looking to take advantage, but Kane reached out and grabbed him for a goozle, Machetti had told him that Thorn was there. Kane lifted Thorn up then planted him with the devastating chokeslam, then made the cover, ONE… TWO… THREE! KANE AND DREAMER WIN!

Machetti got in the ring as Kane's theme music hit, then went over to Dreamer and pulled him up to his feet. Machetti helped Dreamer over to Kane and the two celebrated in the middle of the ring. At ringside Khali was back on his feet and he was pissed, he was yelling something that made Runjin look at him in shock.

But suddenly, Cade and Murdoch's theme music hit. Cade, Murdoch, and Snitsky came sprinted out from the back and hit the ring. Snitsky went after Kane and the two started trading blows, while Machetti squared off with Cade. Dreamer tried to fight off Murdoch, but he was exhausted from getting beaten down all match, and after a knee to the gut he went down, allowing Murdoch to toss him over the top rope and out of the ring.

Kane backed Snitsky into the corner and was hitting him with hard shots to the sides, but suddenly Khali came over and hit Kane from behind with a clothesline. Snitsky and Khali then grabbed Kane and tossed him over the top rope and out of the ring. Machetti was now alone in the ring, with the four… no wait… Thorn just got up… five members of the opposing team.

Machetti had Cade backed up against the ropes, but Murdoch nailed a low blow from behind, then turned around and ran to the ropes on the other side of the ring. Cade shoved Machetti backwards then rushed at him, SWEET 'N' SOUR! Cade and Murdoch turned to Thorn and nodded at him. Thorn pulled Machetti up to his feet, then hoisted him up above his head and nailed a CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB. Machetti was getting destroyed!

Cade walked over to Machetti and tore off his t-shirt, then pulled him up to his feet and shoved him towards Snitsky. Snitsky charged forward and BIG BOOT! Snitsky then reached down and lifted Machetti onto his shoulder, PUMPHANDLE SLAM!! Khali then came over and lifted the lifeless Machetti up off of the mat and held him by the throat… but suddenly London and Kendrick's theme music hit.

London and Kendrick came sprinting down the entrance ramp, Brian had two chairs, and London had a pair of kendo sticks. Paul tossed a kendo stick to Dreamer, while Kendrick handed Kane a chair, then all four men got into the ring. Kane teed off on Snitsky and decked him with a brutal chair shot right to the skull. Kendrick threw his chair and Cade then hit a dropkick, knocking Cade out of the ring in the process.

London went over to Murdoch and cracked him upside the head with the kendo stick, then he held the stick to Murdoch's throat and nailed the Amputator (the move Machetti used to do with his pipe). At the same time, Dreamer nailed Thorn with a White Russian Leg Sweep. In a matter of seconds Khali was alone in the ring. Looking to escape, Khali tossed Machetti at London and Kendrick, but he turned around and found Kane staring at him. Kane hit Khali with a big chair shot, then he got in a goozle and hit Khali with a somewhat low chokeslam.

Dreamer dropped his kendo stick, then picked up Kane's discarded chair, then he ran over to Khali, jumped up into the air and positioned the chair under his legs, then nailed a leg drop. Dreamer rolled out of the way, while Kendrick came out of the corner and hit a spinning frogsplash LEFT TURN AT ALBUQUERQUE! Once Kendrick rolled out of the way, Kane and Dreamer dragged Khali over to the corner London was in. Paul came off with the 450 splash, CALLING LONDON!!

As one Kane, Dreamer, London, and Kendrick all turned to face Machetti, who was slumped down against the ropes, still half out of it. Paul and Brian went over and pulled Machetti to his feet, then motioned to Khali, who was by now out cold. Machetti staggered towards the corner, but then he turned to Kane and called him over. Machetti climbed up onto the middle rope, then he climbed up onto Kane's shoulders. Machetti kept himself steady and eventually stood up, then he launched across the ring and hit Khali with a DIVING HEADBUTT!

Dreamer pulled Machetti up off of Khali and the five men turned to face, Cade, Murdoch, Thorn, and Snitsky who were standing at ringside. The two teams glared at each other as ECW went off the air. Would this be what happened at Survivor Series?
