With no pryo what so ever, the first episode of ECW begins. The building is packed, and the fans (mostly male at the age of 40) are chanting "ECW".
While they're chanting, Paul Heyman appears from behind a curtain. He walks out, holding two different briefcases in his hand. He enters the ring, and holds them up. Heyman looks around the building, and points to someone of his well known fans.
Paul Heyman: " Welcome to E.....C....W! Welcome to the home of extreme. The garden of hardcore, the kingdom of violence".
The fans begin to chant "ECW" again, so Heyman stops and takes it in.
Paul Heyman: " After two years of fighting, two years of dealing with McMachon and all his crap. We are back, and tonight the ECW will show the world why ECW had people screaming our name for years. And finally my dream, my hard work, my hopes have come back. Tonight we fight, tonight ECW begins again. But onto a matter which is very important. I have signed Randy Orton".
The fans boo, the hell out of Orton.
Paul Heyman: " Hey, it isn't his fault, that he played with barbie when he was younger. But please welcome to ECW Randy Orton".
Orton walks out from the curtain, and fans begin to boo the hell out of him again. With a smug look on his face, Orton walks down to the ring. At one point a fan throws a punch. But Orton fakes an RKO, which has the fan step back. He looks at this fan, and gives him the bird.
Paul Heyman: " Randy Orton"!
Randy Orton: " Why don't you all shut your mouths, and listen to what I have to say. Or are you people unable to complete simple commands".
Orton leans over the rope, as he says this. As Heyman looks on.
Randy Orton: " You people make me sick, this company makes me sick. All the people in the back, they make me sick. I should be preforming against the best the world has to offer. Not facing some leftover talent from a company which died 10 years ago. (slow pause) How the hell did I end up in this place"?
Heyman goes to speak but is cut off by Orton.
Randy Orton: " I was at the top of my game, then with a few stupid people talking backstage. I get FIRED, me, the Legend Killer. The Viper, Randy Orton, is fired from the WWE. But I will move on, and I will make my way up to the top of this company. It may not take me very long, but it still counts. So onto important matter, why do we have an ECW Championship match tonight, without Randy Orton? How come this company doesn't know to put me in the Main Event? I know, it's your fault"!
Orton turns around and looks at Heyman, he gets very close to him.
Randy Orton: " You, should have put me in the title match tonight. Not have me facing some guy that has a "Z" in his name.
Paul Heyman: " Wel-----"
Randy Orton: "No, you don't speak. I should be the poster child for this company. The main star of your federation. But yet you let me hang out to dry. Really Heyman, Really"!
Orton then knocks Heyman's hat off his head. And Heyman can't believe it.
Paul Heyman: "You listen here, this is MY HOUSE! This is the home of extreme. This is ECW, and I run the show. If you don't like it, then walk away. Because I have a bunch of talent that would like to be on the card tonight. So what do you say to that mister Orton".
Heyman looks straight into the eyes of The Viper. Slowly Orton begins to turn his head, and then lifts the mic up.
Randy Orton: "When is my match"?
Paul Heyman: "In about five seconds".
Taz vs Randy Orton
Orton looks at Heyman as to say "What". He turns around and is nailed by Taz with a chair. The fans go nuts, as Taz holds the weapon above his head. Slowly Orton begins to move, he makes it to his feet, and Taz swings again. This time Orton ducks, then kicks Taz in the ribs. The strike causes Taz to drop the chair, so Orton kicks it out of the ring. However this allows Taz to make a move. He runs up behind Orton a hits a German suplex. He also preforms a bridge, which turns into a cover......1......2.....kick out. The count came so close. Both men are up quickly, and Orton happens to go for an RKO. But Taz counters into a crossface, he get the hold on. With the fans chanting his name, Taz pulls back. With Orton screaming in pain.
Orton slowly begins to crawl to the rope, he gets near it. But Taz lets go, and then pulls him back. But Orton is able to kick his way out of the grip. Both men are up, and Orton goes for a clothesline. He nails it and Taz goes down. Orton begins to pound the mat, slowly Taz gets up, and is nailed with an RKO. The Viper goes for the cover...1.....2.....3.
Orton gets to his feet, and the ref holds up his hand. He looks down at Taz, and then grabs the FTW Championship which Taz had with him. He walks to the back, taking the title with him.
We now head to the broadcast booth with Joey Styles.
Styles: "Hello and Welcome to the home of extreme. Welcome to ECW, the era is upon us again. With the arrival of Randy Orton, to ECW. The ECW Championship on the line later tonight. We should be in for big things in this new day. With that said, we are heading backstage".
The room is black, we can barely see anything. Then we hear a voice.
????: "From the bottom less pit".
A short pause.
????: " Then back to my home".
????: " The flock shall fly once more".
The lights turn on and it is Raven who is talking to us.
Raven: "I have returned to the home of my nest, the home of my flock. We shall ride fly again, and I begin the rebirth tonight. Once I beat yet again, Tommy Dreamer. And Steve Austin, to become ECW Champion. I shall not be stopped. I will gather my flock once again. And we will rise, and take over".
Raven stands, and looks over. He signals for someone to come in. The camera moves out, and we now see who it is.
Raven: "Quote the raven, Nevermore"!
Styles: "Welcome back to ringside, and we are ready for the next match. But who could it be that is with Raven tonight"?
The Dudley's vs Rey Mysterio and Sabu
With the "We Want Tables" chant being heard, out come the Dudley's. Holding something in their hands. The camera zooms, in and it is the ECW Tag Team Championship. They enter the ring, and snatch the mic away from the ring announcer.
Ray: "Throw your hands up, scream real loud, because the best damn tag team is here"!
D-Von: "OH MY BROTHA, TESTIFY!
Ray: "You people know that we are the best, that we are the strongest tag team in the world. You could go to Japan, Chine, England, Australia. It really doesn't matter. Because we are a unit. We have been together since our childhood. But tonight we face a couple of thrown together tag team partners.
Styles: " Well I guess the Dudley's don't have an ego".
Out come Rey and Sabu, they hit the ring and the match is underway. D-Von is staring with Rey. They begin to fight with basic Irish whips, and a few right hands are thrown. Soon D-Von has Rey on the mat, he hammers away with rights and left to the skull of Rey. Quickly he stands up and slings him into the ropes. On the rebound he sends him up high and delivers a backdrop. Rey hits the mat hard, as the Dudley's laugh. Slowly D-Von walks over and grabs Rey by the mask. He lifts him up, and slaps him. This causes Rey, to dropkick the knee of D-Von. He goes into the middle rope, and Rey points up. He begins to run, but Bubba Ray runs in and tackles Mysterio.
The ref comes in and gets rid of Bubba. D-Von then crawls over to the corner, and tags in his brother. So Bubba comes rushing in a goes for a cover.....1.....2.....kick out. Bubba then attacks the head of Rey. Huge shots off the skull of Rey, can be heard all over the building.
Styles: "Well Rey is being destroyed in this match. Poor Rey, such a little man".
Bubba stands up, and slings Rey into the corner. He runs and goes for a splash. But Rey moves out of the way. As quick of a bullet, Rey gets to his corner and tags in Sabu. The nut case comes in, and attacks Bubba. Knocking him to the ground, and going nuts. Boots, fist, anything that is on his body. Bubba tries to get away, but Sabu runs and connects with a moonsault off the middle rope.
D-Von can't believe what is happening and tries to get into the ring. But Rey runs in and knocks D-Von to the floor. Sabu calls Rey over, and the two sling Bubba over into the corner. Sabu stands in front of Bubba, and Rey takes a few steps back. He then runs, and Sabu flips him into Bubba. One of Rey's boot hits Bubba in the head, which then bust him open. With the fans standing up, Bubba falls to the ground. Sabu then drags over to the ropes. Placing him on the middle rope, with a run up. Rey runs, and delivers a 619 to Bubba. Two feet hit the face of Bubba, which is down of the mat. Rey then slings himself into the ring, and connects with a senton. He then goes for a cover....1.....2.....3.
Both Rey and Sabu stand up, then shake hands. Both men leave the ring, as the Dudleys stare at each other.
Extreme Championship Wrestling Presents
HARDCORE HEAVEN
In two weeks!
Joey Styles: "What a PPV that will be, I'm lovin' being here tonight. We just had a great tag match. And up next, the ECW Championship is on the line. First we have Steve Austin, the baddest son of a bitch on this planet. Then you have Raven, a man who rivals the devil. But finally you have the heart and soul of ECW, Tommy Dreamer. It's no DQ, three way dance".
We head down to the ring, and Paul Heyman has made his way to ringside. He grabs a mic, and will be introducing the people for this next match.
Paul Heyman: "The following is a three way dance, with no DQ. And is for the ECW Heavyweight Championship. Introducing the challengers, first, he is the Rattle Snake. The man they call Steve Austin".
Austin appears, and drinks a beer quickly. He runs to the ring, but grabs a chair on the way down.
Paul Heyman: "Now, let me introduce another challenger, he is the heart and soul of ECW. Please welcome Tommy Dreamer!"
With a huge pop, Dreamer walks out with a garbage bin. He holds it up high, as the fans cheer him on. He begins to walk to the ring, but is jumped by Raven. The fight begins, as Raven and Dreamer nail each other with rights, and lefts. Quickly Dreamer tries to use the bin, but Raven kicks him in the gut. This causes Dreamer to drop it, so Raven picks the bin up. Following what Tommy did, Raven goes to slam it into Dreamer. But Austin comes from behind both men and nails them with his chair. The chair connects with Ravens spine, also with Tommy's lower back. With a smile on his face, Austin throws Dreamer into the ring. He leaves Raven on the outside while he goes for a pin.....1.....2.....kick out.
Styles: "Tommy getting the shoulder up, but we all know what Austin is like. This may only piss him off more than anything".
The Rattle Snake stands up, looking down at Dreamer he drops his knee. The knee is dropped onto the face, after which Tommy begins to toss around in the ring. Austin goes into a mount position, huge rights come into contact with Tommy. He tries to fight but Austin is in full control. After several minutes of being beaten down by Austin, Tommy is given a little bit if recovery time. As Raven runs in with a kendo stick. He hits Austin with it multiple times, each shot harder than the last. The Rattle Snake goes down, and Raven goes nuts with the stick. It continues to crack off the back of Austin. The marks all over his body.
Styles: "This is sick, Raven treating Austin, like a......animal".
The screams are heard around the building, as Raven holds his arms up. He then goes to the outside of the ring. Grabbing a table from under the ring. He slides it into the ring, and sets it up in the middle. Raven waits for either Austin or Dreamer, whoever gets up first will feel the pain. Dreamer becomes the victim, he makes it to his feet first, Raven goes for a backbody drop. But it is countered, Tommy kicks Raven in the gut, which is followed by him throwing Raven t the outside. As Tommy looks at Raven who is on the outside, Austin grabs the chair. He sneaks up behind Dreamer, and mouths off. As Tommy turns, Austin swings the chair with full force.
Styles: "OH MY GOD"!
The chair slams into the head of Dreamer, who just crumbles down to the mat. His legs seem useless, and his eyes are freaky. Austin throws the chair away, and goes for a cover......1.....2.....break up. Raven makes it into the ring, to save the match. He just breaks up the count, and Austin is pissed. Both men stand, they eye each other off. Then the battle begins, Austin fires first, followed by Raven. Grabbing onto the shirt of Raven, Austin backs him into the corner. They fight all over the ring, and then it spills to the outside. Not watching out, they fall to the outside of the ring. Both men hit the ground hard. They lie still, and Heyman runs over to see the damage. He turns away, and runs over to Tommy. Asking him to get up, but Dreamer is out cold. On the other side, Raven and Austin seem to move. Both men fight back to their feet and enter the ring. Austin fakes a right hand, so Raven goes to the outside. He grabs a ladder and slides it into the ring. Austin grabs his chair, and Raven holds up a ladder. The Rattle Snake runs, and is nailed by the corner of the ladder. This knocks him down, and Raven looks very happy. The leader of the nest sets the ladder up inside the ring. He begins to climb up high.
Styles: "What the hell is Raven doing, this isn't a ladder match"?
Raven is nearly at the top, when Austin begins to climbs also. Raven looks at Austin, and fires up himself for a fight on the ladder. Soon both men reach the top, they begin to throw rights and lefts. The fist fight, is on, and nobody is giving an inch.
Styles: "Something bad is going to happen here".
While they are fighting, with the camera focused on them. They seem to start moving, they begin to move. The ladder is being pushed over! Both men crash down on the outside of the ring. Heyman runs over, and signals for the doctors.
We look inside the ring to see Randy Orton. He just pushed the ladder, over while Raven and Austin were on it. Quickly Heyman confronts him. Asking why, but Orton responds with an RKO.
Styles: "Randy Orton just RKOed Heyman, plus he just stopped our title match. This is ECW, and you will not see this in the WWE".
Orton climbs a turnbuckle, and does his pose. The announcer tells us the match is a no contest and the fans boo. They go nuts, and are pissed at the result.
Styles: " The fans here are pissed about the result of the match. And I don't blame them, we should have a ECW Champion. But because of Randy Orton, we don't have one. See you next time, I'm Joey Styles, this has to be ECW".
