Event: Monday Night Madness
Arena: CONSOL Energy Center
City: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The opening credits and video package roll as Monday Night Madness hit’s the air to its theme song, “Long Way to the Top” by AC/DC plays throughout the arena.
Pyro explodes throughout the CONSOL Energy Center as the camera pans the roaring Pittsburgh crowd. The pyro stops as the cameras continue to give live shots of the crowd.
Steve Sayors: “WELCOME EVERYONE… TO MONDAY NIGHT… MADNESS... LIVE FROM THE SOLD OUT CONSOL ENERGY CENTER IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA!! I am your host and the voice of Monday nights, Steve Sayors, alongside me as always, the lovely Liz Weinberg. Liz, what do you think we'll see tonight!?"
Liz Weinberg: “We are about to see some of the first ever Madness roster members take to the airwaves like only Madness can do! Great action on tap tonight!”
SS: “Indeed, Liz! Four matches on the docket tonight!”
LW: “A couple of Madness roster members go head to head as Agony takes on Neil Capra, one on one! Last week, Neil was just moments away from capturing the European title! Unfortunately for him though, it was not to be!”
SS: “In addition to that, an inter-promotional match as Warfares Mike Rhodes takes on Shove Its Luca Arzegotti in an extreme rules match!”
LW: “In a highly anticipated match the CRIMSON CREST EXPLODES! Crimson Cobra takes on his own friend and tag team partner Crimson Deadly! The winner will get a future shot at the European title! That match has the probability of being EPIC!”
SS: “In our main event, Jeff Hardy defends the XWF European Championship against Ursula Areano in a tables, ladders, chairs match! Careers will be altered here tonight!”
LW: “No doubt about it, Steve! Two weeks ago, Ursula burst back onto the scene taking out Jeff Hardy before Hardy got the final shot in just as Madness left the air!”
SS: “Last week though, was a little different! Just as the epic battle between Hardy and Capra was ending, we were interrupted by another cryptic message revealing the last of our roster members!”
LW: “The lights in the arena would go out for the reveal. When they came back on though, Hardy would turn around and eat Ursulas boot! She laid him out good with that kick of hers!”
SS: “Without further adieu, we head to the ring!”
Agony

Neil Capra Standard Match
Ring Announcer: “The opening contest, is scheduled for one-fall!”
”The Red” by Chevelle plays throughout the arena.

RA: “And his opponent!”
”Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” by Metallica plays throughout the arena.
RA: “From the streets of Detroit, Michigan… weighing 2 hundred 1 pounds… NEIL… CAAAPRAAAA!”
The lights flicker on and off, as Neil Capra makes his way to the ring, with Neil shouting obscenities at the crowd. Neil enters the ring.
SS: “Agony and Neil Capra are set for action!”
LW: “This should be a great showcase of the young talent we have here!”
The bell rings and this match is under way. Both men circle the ring sizing each other up. They come to the center of the ring and lock horns. Agony, although short by wrestling standards, is a very powerful man and easily backs Capra into the corner. The referee asks for a clean break.
Both men obey the referee as neither of them want to be disqualified here tonight. Agony backs out of the corner and Capra soon follows.
They lock horns once again and quickly, Agony turns it into a side headlock. Capra struggles to break it up, but with little effect on the much stronger Agony. Capra backs Agony against the ropes and uses Agonys own rebound momentum to break the headlock sending Agony off the far side ropes.

WINNER: NEIL CAPRA
SS: “Neil Capra is your winner here tonight!”
LW: “A great match, but Agony has got to be sick to his stomach! He got beat with the same weapon he brought into the match!”
”Waaait a minute!
The cameras focus on the entrance way where Paul Heyman is standing.
PH: “I have just one problem. No, it’s not the way you won, Neil. Agony brought that chair into the ring and you took advantage of the situation. I like that.”
Instead of celebrating his victory, Neil Capra leans against the ropes watching Paul as he speaks.
PH: “What I have a problem with Neil, is you had a job to do last week. So I have just one question for you, Neil Capra!
“Who is that?”
Paul points toward the ring and Neil turns and gets blasted in the skull with a nightstick by a man wearing riot gear! The man goes to town on Capra beating him mercilessly with the night stick.
The man dressed in riot gear and concealed with a riot helmet pulls out a staple gun and a slip of paper.
He kneels down near Capra. Using the staple gun, he drives 2 staples through the slip of paper and into the skin of Capras head. The riot cop exit’s the ring and up the ramp towards a smiling Paul Heyman.
The camera zooms in to see the paper stapled to Capra’s head.
It reads: You Fucked Up
Madness fades to commercial.
Madness returns and we are inside the office of Paul Heyman. Heyman sits at his desk and the riot cop stands behind him as Jeff Hardy walks in unannounced.
The riot cop advances forward and Heyman stops him.
Jeff Hardy: “Just what the hell was that all about, Paul?”
PH: “Jeff, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Jeff Hardy: “I’m not stupid, Paulie! Out there, just now, with Neil Capra!?”
PH: “Listen, Jeff. It’s not personal, it’s just business. Neil Capra had a job to do… and he failed. He now has to learn his lesson!”
Jeff Hardy: “Job? What job? What did you want Neil Capra to do, Paulie?”
PH: “Look, Jeff. We go back a long time! So, I’ll be straight with you. You draw. People and money. You put asses in the seats! You sell merchandise! The fact is, Jeff. You’re pathetic! You’re a drug addict that doesn’t deserve to wear the gold that belongs to MY show! YOU are NOT a hero! If it was up to me, you wouldn’t be the champion!”
Jeff Hardy: “So, all this time! All these title matches I’ve been forced to have! Because you don’t want me as your champion!? You made it possible for me to wear it!”
PH: “That was different. Neonero had it coming. He was ready to take his ball and go home. At least with you, I know you’ll show up! Then the very next week you show up on my show… inebriated. So, I had to change course, Jeff. Davis, Capra, Ursula. It’s all been designed to dethrone you as European Champion. As long as you are champion, I will continue to make you face the consequences for that! Like I said, Jeff. It’s not personal. Just business!”
Jeff Hardy: “So, it’s like that Paul?”
PH: “Just like that. Now, get the hell out of my office!”
Hardy, with a disgusted look on his face, makes his exit slowly. An evil grin crosses the face of Heyman as Madness once again cuts to a commercial break.
SS: “Uhhh. Welcome back to Madness, folks! I’m, not sure what we just saw!”
LW: “I think it’s very obvious! Mr. Heyman wanted Capra to defeat Hardy last week and he couldn’t get the job done! Now Capra has to pay!”
SS: “Mr. Heyman? Did you just become an ass kisser?”
LW: “I just respect Mr. Heymans authority!”
SS: “Yeah! Nice cover! Lets go to the ring!”

On the X-Tron:
The music stops and the lights come back on. In the middle of the ring lay both Luca Arzegotti and Mike Rhodes. Covered in their own blood. A chair and a baseball bat lay to either side of the two men as Madness fades to commercial.
SS: “We’re back here on Madness and before we went to break we thought we were greeted by a power outage! When the lights came on, both Luca Arzegotti and Mike Rhodes were both laid out and covered in blood!”
LW: “I have no idea who was behind that!”
SS: “I’m not sure but obviously a message from someone or someones has been delivered!”
LW: “No doubt about that, Sayors!”
SS: “Nonetheless, this is the XWF and the action never slows down! We’re headed back to the ring!”

WINNER AND STILL XWF EUROPEAN CHAMPION, JEFF HARDY
SS: “I honestly cannot believe what I just witnessed!”
LW: “An instant classic type of performance from these two tonight!”
SS: “My heart goes out to Ursula tonight! He had the match won and should be declared the European champion right now!”
LW: “I’m inclined to agree with you, Sayors, but the fact remains and in fact it’s an old adage in the wrestling business.”
SS: “Yeah! If the ref didn’t see it, it never happened! Still, though, an absolute travesty of justice has occurred here tonight!”
LW: “It is what it is Steve! She’ll come back even stronger next time! She is one tough woman!”
SS: “Hold the phone! I was about to sign us off for this week, but ladies and gentlemen, here comes Paul Heyman!”
Paul Heyman steams toward the ring where Jeff Hardy continues to sit on his ass in celebration. Paul grabs a mic and enters the ring.
PH: “You know, Jeff, if it wasn’t for that referee over there getting knocked into next week, you would NOT be the European Champion right now!
“I could stand before you right now and reverse the referee’s decision and hand that title over to Ursula Areano! However, I’m one to believe- even when it goes against what I want- that the referee’s decision is final!
“So, Jeff… you survive another week with my Madness championship wrapped around your drug induced, scrawny little waist!
“Make no mistake about it, Jeff Hardy. Sooner or later, that title will cease to be yours! I will do anything in my power, short of interfering, to ensure that YOU lose that title!
“I’m actually going to do you a favor and allow you to not defend the title next week! Don’t get too excited though, because you will be in action, right here on Madness!
“Enjoy your time as European Champion while you can, Jeff Hardy! Your days are numbered!”
Paul Heymans ECW theme hit’s the airwaves and he starts making his exit. As he steps through the ropes he gives an evil grin toward Hardy as he continues out.
Madness fades out.
