"Welcome to Extreme Championship Wrestling, I'm Joey Styles, here at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pensylvania. 1 week ago, we had a pay per view that is sure to be talked about for years to come. The Sandman emerged victorious in a 3 Way Dance against Justin Credible and Steve Corino, to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship for a record 5th time. But just as soon as he won it, the man who's been fighting Sandman ever since he joined ECW, Television Champion Rhino came out to challenge Sandman. The Sandman, never one to back down from a fight, accepted, and what followed was Rhino putting Sandman through 2 tables before finally finishing him off with a Gore. Rhino now holds both the ECW Television Championship, and the World Heavyweight Championship, Tonight, in this action packed hour, you will see the Insane Luchadore Super Crazy take on an international Superstar, , Jerry Lynn taking on the young up and comer CM Punk, and who knows what'll happen next, The Sandman could confront Rhino...we might even see the return of a certain..original Gangsta. "
The show fades back. The crowd goes mild as "Sexy Storm" booms loud in the arena. Ricky Fuji comes out wearing his usual attire of a cowboy hat, vest, and glasses. He sings his theme song whilst walking down the entrance ramp. He enters the ring and takes a quick glance at Super Crazy, then continues singing for the crowd. His music shuts off and Fuji takes off his entrance gear. Crazy extends his hand, and Fuji does the same, accepting the handshake. John Finnegan signals for the bell. Crazy wastes no time, immediately hitting Fuji with a barrage of strikes before tossing him into the corner. He steps back and walks to the center of the ring. Crazy runs at Fuji and is met with a boot to the face, having recovered by that time. Fuji grabs Crazy's wrist and begins wrenching his arm. Crazy counters, grabs Ricky Fuji's head for the headlock. Crazy has difficulties properly locking it in. Fuji pushes him towards the ropes, but does not succeed in getting out of the headlock. He attacks the legs of Crazy with one of his feet. Crazy is off balance, and let go of the headlock just long enough for Fuji to lift him up for the Atomic Drop. Fuji proceeds to go to work on the right leg of a now grounded Crazy, stomping on it, before locking in a single leg boston crab. Crazy quickly grabs the bottom rope. Both of them are up. Fuji runs at Crazy, and gets countered with an arm drag. Crazy runs at Fuji, and gets countered with an arm drag by Fuji this time. Both men walk backwards against the ropes, leaving them running full speed at eachother. Crazy hits the spinning heel kick and Fuji is knocked hard onto the mat. Crazy goes on to hit a standing moonsault on the grounded Fuji, and then proceeds to lock in a rear chin lock on a now seated Fuji. Crazy gets Fuji up, and transitions into a front facelock. He grabs the wrist of Fuji, and performs an Irish whip. Fuji bounces off the ropes and receives a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker at the hands of Crazy. He gets Fuji back up and is caught off guard with a kick to the gut followed by a vertical suplex. Fuji goes back to work on the legs of Crazy, this time with a leg DDT. He grabs Crazy's legs and flips over his body to cover him. Crazy counters by leaning forward and now has Fuji covered. Fuji moves backward and now has Crazy covered. Crazy kicks out, and both men are on their feet. Crazy rushes at Fuji and is met with a superkick. Crazy falls to his knees, recovering while Fuji climbs to the top rope. Fuj gets ready for a diving double axe handle, jumps off the top turnbuckle, and is met with a dropkick by Crazy. Fuji falls over the top rope to the outside. Crazy is standing, but is seen clutching his knee. Regardless, he bounces off the ropes and hits Fuji with a devastating Corkscrew Plancha. Both men are visibly weak, though Crazy seems to be in more pain with Fuji's attacks on his legs catching up to him. Both men are on the ground for about a minute before slowly making their way back into the ring. Crazy is the first to stand up, he grabs Fuji, and knocks him down with a snap suplex. He ascends to the top rope and goes for a corkscrew moonsault. Fuji desparately rolls out of the way, and Crazy lands hard. Fuji quickly locks in Hard Rock, his cross legged STF. Crazy looks to be in trouble, and he attempts to grab a rope. It's too far away for him to make it! He moves just a little further..no, still not good enough. One last stretch...he gets it! Fuji releases the hold. Crazy having a hard time standing, but he still manages to get up. They lock up...Crazy goes for a brain buster...no, Fuji lifts Crazy up instead...no, Crazy gets back down, oh! He hits the Crazy Bomb instead! The Straight Jacket powerbomb! It's over....1...2....3! Super Crazy has defeated the international superstar Ricky Fuji! The crowd is on fire, excited not only for Super Crazy getting the win, but for the match as well. The crowd initially had little interest in Fuji, but now it seems they've warmed up to him. Fuji raises Crazy's hand.
Mad Man Pondo is seen on screen with a stop sign that says "Can't STOP Pondo" on it. He grabs a microphone, and begins to talk. "Yesterday, I brutalized, and bloodied, and bruised some shmuck for a couple rappers in paint, and even took a little beating of my own, to make the money, to drive down to philly to perform in front of all you people. That's how much I wanted to perform in front of all you ECW fans. Now you wanna see some violence?"
The crowd mostly chants "YEAH", though some of the people in the audience are confused as to why a hobo with a stop sign is in the ring.
"I challenge any one of you in the locker room, to come out here and fight me. It's time for me to show these fans what Mad Man Pondo's all about."
The familiar gunshot sounds as cheers fill the arena. The opening beat of Natural Born Killaz begins to play.
New Jack rushes down the ramp with trashcan in hand. The trash can is tossed into the ring and the fight is on. Jeff Jones signals for the bell. Exchanging punches, neither man holding anything back. New Jack stuns Pondo with a stiff forearm, and grabs a wooden board. He hits Pondo with the board and Pondo goes down hard. Jack grabs a Stick and hits a now standing Pondo. Pondo is busted open, but doesn't fall. Instead, he asks for more. Jack swings the cane another time. Pondo still wants more. Jack swings the cane a third time and Pondo is knocked down.

The match resumes with New Jack piledriving Pondo right on top of the trashcan. He covers Pondo...1...2...oh and he barely kicks out. New Jack is visibly angry now, and pulls out the staple gun. Pondo's face just got a little bit uglier. Pondo strikes back at New Jack with a devastating lariat. Pondo rolls out of the ring, and reaches for something under the apron. He's got...a spiked board? He slides it into the ring, and grabs his signature stop sign...oh right in the head of New Jack! New Jack's out of it...Pondo gets him up, back body drop right onto the spiked board! That might've killed New Jack! 1...2....3!! New Jack loses! Pondo took him to the extreme! His music isn't playing...but there's music playing...John Kronus is rushing down the ramp!

Paramedics are taking Jack out of the building...what a debut. Mad Man Pondo certainly made an impact here tonight, not many men can say they defeated the Original Gangsta in their debut.
CM Punk is standing in the ring with a mic. "So...this is Philly. What a great place, if you're an achoholic sports fan. This is my first time competing here in ECW, and before I wrestle infront of all you people I'd like to get something out of the way, i'd like to clarify that I'm not here, to snort drugs in the back, go out here, bleed, hit a bunch of chair shots, dive off a balcony, then leave, drink myself to sleep and do it all over again for little pay, or knowing Paul E, no pay at all. You know why I don't do any of that? Because I'm straight edge, and that means I'm better then you. And Balls Mahoney, I'm a hell of a lot better then you. I'm here, to..say the big word with me...wrestle..and-

"WELL....WELLL....WELLL" Joel Gertner is on screen. "It is I, the lyrical miracle, The Quintessential Studmuffin, and a damn handsome man, Joel "I've busted more nuts then a peanut factory" Gertner. At this time, I would like to introduce the man too talented for hair, a former ECW World Heavyweight champion, well, "World" is a bit of a stretch when it comes to ECW, Justin..Credible!"
"Nothing breeds more contempt for this world Than the memories now formed"
Justin Credible comes down the ramp with his entourage, The Bad Street Boys; Christian York and Joey Matthews. Boos quickly fill the arena for the man who broke the Great Sasuke's leg, stole the Sandman's cane, disrespected Tommy Dreamer's grandfather, and countless other heinous acts. Credible gets to the ring, and grabs a mic. "Heh, at Guilty As Charged, I lost. I lost to a drunk man, and a man who's only talented enough to emulate 50 year olds. I mean...the King Of Old School. But anything can happen in a 3 way dance. anything can happen in ECW. And that was proven by Rhino, who took out the drunkman, I mean, the Sandman almost as soon as he won the title. And as soon as I get in the ring with him again, he's going to lose. Because while he, he can use a stick real nice, but I'm not just the coolest....not just the best....I'm Justin..CREDIBLE."
Opening riff of Enter Sandman begins to play as everyone in the arena begins to cheer. A minute or so passes before the first verse plays
"Say your prayers, little one, don't forget my son, to include everyone"
Sandman appears at the front of the entrance ramp, cane, and beer in hand, smoking a cigarette. The entire crowd begins singing along with his theme song as Justin Credible sneers at him in the ring. Sandman raises his cane up high, and begins to walk down the ramp. By the time he's down to the ring, the first verse is playing. He climbs up on the guardrail and raises his cane, before sharing his beer with a fan, and then proceeds to bust himself open. At this point, he gets into the ring. York and Matthews attempt to attack him, and Sandman attacks both with his cane. Credible runs out of the ring while Gertner also recieves a cane shot to the head. Sandman raises his cane up high, and Credible returns to the ring with a chair. He hits Sandman right in the head. Sandman's down, and Credible poses above him. Suddenly the opening riff of Debonaire begins to play. Rhino rushes down the ramp and gets in the ring. He stares down Credible. Sandman gets up...he canes Credible! Now it's just Rhino and Sandman.....Credible's entorauge gets up, they're standing infront of rhino. Rhino picks both of them up....GORE! DOUBLE GORE ON THE BAD STREET BOYS! Rhino takes his time slowly getting up and looking at Sandman once more.. Sandman swings his cane, Rhino ducks, german suplex! Rhino now standing in the corner, Sandman in the center of the ring..Rhino taunts...Sandman gets up...GORE! Rhino stands victorious....wait a minute...who's music is playing now....RE-SPECT WALK..IT'S ROB VAN DAM! ROB VAN DAM IS HERE! And he wants Rhino! He's in the ring..grabs a mic. "Rhino...I've been waiting a while, the fans have been waiting a while, for someone to cut you down. And the whole
in show, Rob Van Dam, is just the one to do it". Van Dam drops the mic, and stares down Rhino as the screen fades out.
