(ICW logo, static brings us into the Chaos intro!)

JR: We are LIVE from the sold-out Thompson Gymnasium in Elizabethtown, PA! I'm Jim Ross, joined by a man whose name makes any wrestling fan cringe, Eric Bischoff!

EB: Thanks for the warm welcome, JR. Tonight, in this very ring, we'll be seeing some dream matches, ladies and gentlemen. The most important of which being Tajiri versus Sabu for the Supreme Championship! This match is a guaranteed classic, and I'm looking forward to it.

JR: A lot of buzz has been going around all week about another HUGE match tonight, people are dying to see the enigmatic crowd-pleaser Sting go one-on-one with Terry Bolea, for the chance to take on the Supreme Champion at Insanity, coming up in just 2 weeks, right here, FREE on this station!

EB: What a HUGE announcement, Ross, what a revelation it was last week when Icon 02 informed us that there won't BE any PPVs for Chaos...you won't have to pay a dime for them!

JR: Definitely a unique approach to wrestling television, but Big Shot always was one to take chances, so we'll see how it works in the weeks and months to come.

(CRASH HOLLY THEME! The little guy gets a pop.)

JR: And here comes your ICW-C Light Heavyweight Champion, Crash Holly! A talented young man, plenty of athletic ability and he sure took it to Sean Waltman or X-Pac, whatever you want to call him last week. Then you see, here, Bob Holly came down to the ring and...

(Video clip of last week, Bob helping Crash win the title, mocking X-Pac on the way out.)

EB: Well, that was uncalled-for, JR. The wrestling ring is no place for crap like that!

JR: Oh, YOU'RE one to talk!

EB: Who do I look like, Vince Russo?

(X-Pac theme, followed by a chorus of boos.)

Crash Holly (c) (w/Bob Holly) v. X-Pac

-X-Pac is enraged and takes it to Crash immediately after the screwjob last week. He drops Crash pretty easily and takes to the outside to beat on "Hardcore" for a while. Looks like Pac is being pushed...as a FACE?!!11 Well, it's not working entirely, but his less-heelish antics and intensity do sway some in the crowd to pop for some of his more vicious moves, including a STIFF jumping kick to Bob's head. Back in the ring, Crash is up and yelling at Pac to get in there and take on his actual OPPONENT. Mr. Waltman gladly accepts the invite and hops back into the ring, where Crash is ready with a club over the back as he steps through the ropes and a momentum shift. Crash's rise doesn't last long, however, as Pac takes over again, whipping Crash to the corner for the Bronco Buster! He hits it to a mild POP (?!) and goes for the pin just close enough to the ropes that Bob Holly can reach in and break up the count. The ref calls for the DQ, and X-Pac wins the match...but NOT the title! The crowd is confused and possibly in need of therapy after feeling compelled to pay attention during this match. Is Chaos working? Seriously, these shmucks aren't fit to hold Doink's jock strap, but they're holding the crowd's ATTENTION now! Interesting!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Goldust comes out in full wig and robe, sneering his way to the ring. The fans cheer for him, but he brushes them off and looks at them with scorn on his way down the ramp.)

G: For too long, Goldust has been a laughing-stock of the wrestling world! Ever since Adam took over Monday nights, I've come out to this ring, I've been playing "possessed slave" to the Undertaker or Kane or whoever. I've been disrespected, treated like a pathetic waste of airtime, someone who can only get the fans behind him as a clown. Now on Chaos, I have a chance to remind you all what Goldust is all about...24 Karat Productions presents...a cinematic masterpiece of epic proportions! Behold...and BELIEVE!!

(Video plays showing great moments from Goldust's WWF, WWE and ICW-R careers. Crowd pops and laughs at appropriate points.)

G: STOP IT! STOP THE VIDEO! DO YOU SEE? LISTEN TO YOURSELVES! LAUGHING AT ME! LAUGHING AT ONE OF THE GREAT STARS OF THE WRESTLING WORLD! TREATING ME LIKE THE JOKE I WAS PROTRAYED AS! WELL, IT STOPS NOW! Goldust no longer plays by YOUR rules, the rules that would have him look like a FOOL! Goldust no longer cares what YOU think...he doesn't need the fans!!

(BOO.)

G: You turn so quickly on a legend of the theater and a legend in the ring! Just shows me I was right to turn my back on all of you and start worrying about myself for a change. GOLDUST IS NOBODY'S FOOL! GOLDUST...IS A STAR!!

(BOO!!)

(ALBERT'S THEME! Albert oafs out to the stage.)

A: You listen to me, Goldust. At least you were ON television! I was forced to waste my time on Not So Hot! Chaos has given ME a second chance, too! A chance to prove to these fans I'm not just hairy jackass with no personality! I'm a hairy jackass WHO LOVES THE CROWDS, WHO LOVES PUTTING ON A GREAT MATCH, AND WHO WORKS HIS ASS OFF FOR THESE FANS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY THINK OF ME!

(Light pop!)

A: So, why don't you put your money where your big, gold mouth is and FIGHT THE TRAIN, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!!

G: That's exactly what these pathetic monkeys want! They want all your rage taken out on me because I made them see the UGLY TRUTH! Forget it, the people aren't the boss of me anymore, I AM!

(ICON THEME!!)

02: Oh, no...Goldust, I think you're mistaken. See, last I checked, the great man who gave you a second chance to show you're not just a joke, your boss...was me!

(POP!!!)

02: And I DO care what these fans want, and I'm delivering, like I always do on my shows. You stay right in that ring, and Albert, get down there and kick his ass for all these fans in the arena, and everyone at home RIGHT NOW! THIS MATCH IS ON!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Albert v. Goldust

-BIG pop as Albert charges to the ring, to be met by a furious attack by Goldust. A-Train squashes Goldie, and is portrayed as the "monster" of Chaos. The crowd gives him a good pop for the win and for his big power-move offense, and the rub from 02 and his face promo helped get him over as a face and establish Goldust firmly as a heel! By golly, you just don't know what to expect from anyone on this show...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commercial.

The Darkness theme hits! Infinity and Nightmare come to the stage to a big pop for their Chaos debut! They enter the ring, Infinity with a mic.

I: The Darkness has fallen upon you!

(Light pop.)

I: Nightmare and myself are now back on the show of the Big Shot, Icon 02, the man who brought us both into this business in order to destroy his competition! He gave us a chance at greatness, and we both took it! I was an unbeatable Heavyweight Champion! Nightmare was a feared monster who held a few belts of his own. Then...it happened.

N: Adam Laskowski took over Revolution, and we were nothing. When's the last time, besides when we walked out Monday night after screwing him over and beating the hell out of those Paynes when he ordered us to throw the match, you saw us defend the Duo Titles? When was the last time either of us was even in a match period?! For unbeatable monsters with major championship belts...you'd think Adam might see some worth in us and push us a bit more. No...he held us back, afraid we might do just what we did Monday -- prove we're the baddest, stronger, and most dangerous pair in wrestling. We DESTROYED THE PAYNES! Then...because he treated us as a joke...

I: ...we made his titles a joke, leaving while still tag team champions and vacating his worthless federation and his pathetic titles forever. Our allegiance lies with Icon 02 now, and you will ONLY see us on a show if Tony's behind it!

(POP!!)

N: Those words being spoken, we must sadly go our separate ways on Chaos. Both of us will be joining the singles ranks again, since there's not much of a tag team division here just yet. But that doesn't mean we won't still have eachother's backs and won't still be kicking asses all over the building!

(POP!!)

I: So let that be a warning to all of you in the back who are thinking you might have a chance in HELL of beating either of us...the Darkness may no longer be a tag team...but sometimes...the halves are greater than the whole.

(Darkness theme, both leave, pausing to play to the crowd a bit before heading through the entrance way.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Sean Morely enters 02's office, Tony is on the phone.)

SM: Hey, Big Shot. Got a second?

02: Sean! Absolutely, come on in. (To the phone.) Look, I got to go one of my guys just walked in. See you then...and WELCOME to Chaos! (Hangs up.)

SM: (Smiling.) Sounds like a big one, boss.

02: Sean, it's huge. But right now, you have my attention. What's up?

SM: Man, this sure is a BIG change from the way I was treated on Explosion. Just like I thought it would be. I put my ass on the line quitting like that. So did Tajiri, Goldust, and Credible...and I think a lot more guys will see what we have going on Chaos and follow. But...as one of the originals to jump ship, I have to know...what's your plan for me? I mean, Tajiri got a big Supreme Title push, Goldust had Albert tonight, Credible's in the running for the Light Heavyweight Title...but I'm just wondering where I come in.

02: Funny you should ask, Sean. See, even back on Revolution, I knew you were one guy I could count on. A solid wrestler, a great performer, you can work the crowd...and I know you can handle what I have planned for you. You came here to wrestle more, to make a name for yourself, show you're better than Adam thought, am I right?

SM: Absolutely!

02: Then how would you like to be put into title contention...IN THE MAIN EVENT NEXT WEEK?

SM: 02, I AM the main event! I'm ready for anyone, who is it?

02: Next week, Sean, you're taking on a man who has already had the chance to prove himself to me on ICW television...Ken Shamrock!!

(POP!)

02: And that match will be for the ICON CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING CHAOS HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

(Pop!)

SM: (Laughs.) This is GREAT, Tony! You won't regret it, I'll show you I deserve this, I'll show the world that Sean Morely is the MAIN EVENT! And...I'll show Ken Shamrock that he should've just stayed home and left the wrestling to the REAL MEN!

02: I like your confidence, Morely, but Shamrock's no joke. I want you at the top of your game next week!

SM: Oh, don't you worry, boss. I can feel that Heavyweight belt around my waist already!

(Morely leaves, excited. Tony smiles, shaking his head at the goof.)

No. 1 Contendership for Supreme Title

Sting v. Terry Bolea

-----------------------------

Interesting match-up, here. "Hogan" versus Sting, a match many are interested in since it's been so long since Sting wrestled at all, let alone the enormity of a clash between these wrestling legends.

Big ratings stunts aside, they put on a solid clash, both playing the babyface, both getting cheered, Sting with a slight edge due to the novelty value and the fact that "Hogan" appears on all 3 ICW shows.

Both wrestlers deliver a solid, fun match, it goes back and forth, Bolea "Hulking" out of a Scorpion Death Lock to a comeback, hitting a leg drop and getting a discouraging 2-count out of Stinger.

The match continues, picking up moments later when Sting takes back over, hits a big Stinger Splash in the corner, then picks up Bolea for a Scorpion Death Drop and the 1, 2, 3! Sting wins a great contest, he walks up the ramp to the applause of the fans, as Bolea gets to his feet in the ring, doing his whole "selling Sting so much and being so humble that I look like I'm about to cry" thing, and claps for Sting.

Bolea does the usual "Hulk" moves, cupping his ear to the crowd, flexing, etc. He leaves the ring to Voodoo Child, and JR reminds everyone that the man Sting will be facing for the Supreme Title will be determined coming up next, so don't go away!

(Commercial.)

Supreme Championship

Tajiri v. Sabu

-------------------

Hard-hitting match between 2 ECW greats. Fast-paced, high-flying, lots of devastating moves...a wonder to behold and a GREAT first Supreme Title match for Chaos!

More a match you have to see to believe (and because I can't really do either justice writing a match for them when they're so creative and spontaneous), we'll just leave it at that and skip to the end. It's, obviously, a pretty long one anyway.

Martial arts moves from Tajiri get the best of Sabu, who goes down to his knees in the center of the ring, woozy. Tajiri bounces off the ropes with great momentum and delivers a double drop-kick to the face of Sabu, who flips over backwards, landing awkwardly. The crowd cringes and chants a mixed "IC-dub" and "EC-dub," and Tajiri looks up for approval, which he receives. He goes to the top rope, then tight-rope walks to the center, where he dives on to Sabu in a quick, dangerous Senton Bomb! Tajiri hooks the leg, then goes for the pin -- 1, 2...2!!!!!!! Kick out by Sabu.

The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal One begins to sit up, but Tajiri is ready with Green Mist! He spits the mysterious goo into the eyes of Sabu, and as Sabu grabs his eyes, trying to clear his vision, Tajiri delivers a HARD kick to the back of the head that resounds throughout the arena! Another groaner from the crowd, and Tajiri covers for the 1, 2, 3! Bell rings, people cheer, Sabu rolls slowly in pain, and Tajiri is awarded the belt, becoming the first ICW Chaos Supreme Champion!

Tajiri will also face Sting in 2 weeks at ICW-C: Insanity, on free TV! He is joined in the ring by Funaki, and they hug and celebrate, as JR puts over what a great match it was and what an historic night it's been for Chaos! Finally a huge win for the Japanese Buzzsaw, and everyone's happy for him. Sabu even gets up to congratulate Tajiri, shaking his hand before propping his scarred body up against the ropes.

(Fade out on shot of Tajiri holding his belt up for the crowd, Funaki clapping in the background, both smiling big.)
