(“New Breed” by Fear Factory signals the start of another FCTV. We see clips of bone shattering hit after bone shattering hit. When it’s all over, we cut to the sold out FCW Arena. The fans, as usual, are a rabid mob. After panning the crowd, the shot cuts to one of Kevin Cole and Nik Cain.)
Kevin Cole: Welcome to Full Contact TV! We’ve got a huge program for you tonight, including...
(But, before the program even has a chance to begin, Kevin Cole is interrupted by Evenkiel making his way to the ring.)
Nik Cain: What the hell is that ass doing out here?
(Evenkiel puts up his hand to indicate to the booing crowd that he has something to say, however the taunts just get louder, accompanied by garbage being thrown at him.)
Evenkiel: Thank you. Thank you all very much to showing me the courtesy that I have come to expect every week here in FCW. But I would think that you would have changed your tune after last week. Let us put aside for a moment the fact that I took that neophyte Mark Payne to the very limit before finally deciding enough was enough and allowing him to become FCW World Champion once more. Yes Nik Cain, for once in your worthless life you were right. I didn’t even want the title, so I had my fun in exposing Mark Payne’s ludicrously ineffective offence for what it was, getting up time and again, while he continuously retreated in hopes that his 10 cent harlot would somehow be able to turn the tides in his favor.
But aside from that, how can you continue to revile me when I personally am allowing this very event to take place. Were it not for me and my generosity, this entire company would have been shut down, all of the circus performers in the back would be on the unemployment line, and you all would be forced to find other ways to escape the drudgery of your daily lives, your crying gap-toothed children, your drunken cheating spouses and your laughable minimum wage "Careers".
So yes I expect a little more respect from this moment forward, because the paperwork was ready to go, the injunction was set, and FCW was to discontinue operations indefinitely until I was given satisfaction. But I am a man of mercy. I have seen to it that Mr. Oblivion will get the professional treatment that he sorely requires, in exchange for several promises from Mr. Crawford that I need not go into here. Suffice it to say that...
(Evenkiel doesn't get to continue as he is cut off by the sound of Korn's "My Gift To You." Fans are relieved to be spared the expense of listening to Evenkiel and begin to cheer loudly at the emerging Jean. From behind the shadows and curtains, he appears, wearing his trademark overcoat with dark blue jeans and black tanktop. He looks toward the ring in an annoyed look at the obviously fumed Evenkiel. Evenkiel begins to say something, but Jean stops him short as the music dies down.)
Jean: Respect, huh? Is that what you so desire?
(Evenkiel nods his head, mouthing off something as Jean continues.)
Jean: Sorry, pal, but you have to learn that to get respect, you have to earn respect... something which you have failed in doing. Week after week, you come out here... you run your mouth, annoying anyone who will even bother to listen. You stand in the middle of the ring right now, basically saying that you're doing the FCW a favor... saying, basically, that you're playing the role of God, it seems. Let me bring you down to earth while I can still grab you by the leg. You're not God, and you're doing no favors by being here.
You see, Evenkiel, I have been listening to everything you have said from your beginning here and I have grown weary of your pathetic excuses and accusations. You claim that the FCW is vile and decrepid, so to speak. Realize the fact that, in this world, everything is that way. Life's a bitch, Evenkiel, if you don't already know that. You don't make life any better, either. So tell me this, Evenkiel. How pissed off does my interrupting you make you feel? Are you pissed off? Are you crying on the inside? Feel like crying to mommy, little boy? How about I give you something to really...
(Before Jean finishes, he stops. He looks at Evenkiel, whose face is turning red with anger... his eyes like fire, burning into Jean. Jean just laughs and continues.)
Jean: You know, how about we just go at it here and now.
(Jean tosses the mic down and walks down the ramp to the ring, removing his overcoat as he walks. He walks up the ring steps and enters the ring, Evenkiel staring a hole through him. Jean approaches him as the fans stand to their feet, waiting for a fight to ensue.
Evenkiel turns to step away, it seems, but quickly turns to throw a punch toward Jean's jaw. Jean is little stunned and retaliates with his own and the brawl ensues. Back and forth it goes until Evenkiel misses with a punch. Jean drives a knee into the gut of Evenkiel and quickly takes initiative, bringing his elbow down onto his back. Evenkiel falls to the mat, but Jean is quick to grab him by the hair and bring him back up. Evenkiel low blows him, though, stunning Jean. Evenkiel sends a shot right to his temple, making him jerk around. He gets to his feet and clotheslines Jean over the top ropeand quickly follows behind, grabbing Jean's hair and driving his shoulder into the ringsteps. He clutches at his shoulder as Evenkiel picks him back up and rams his forehead into the ringpost, busting him open. Blood soon covers Jean's face as he struggles to get around. Evenkiel is right after him, though, knocking him down with a clothesline as he turns around towards him. Evenkiel mouths off something to the fans as he picks the bloody Jean back up and rolls him back into the ring. Evenkiel begins to add insult to injury as he slaps Jean in the back of the head a few times. Evenkiel proceeds to lift him from the mat, only to have Jean turn around and send his forearm into his jaw. Evenkiel back steps slightly, but gives Jean just the opening he needs to deliver a super kick to his jaw. As Evenkiel tumbles to the mat in a heap, Jean positions himself for what's coming up next. A small moment later, Evenkiel is up and doubled over. Jean leaps into the air and comes down, bringing his leg crashing down across the back of Evenkiel's head.
Jean drags Evenkiel out of the ring and grabs a steel chair from nearby. As Evenkiel is getting up, Jean whacks the chair across the back of Evenkiel. Jean proceeds to let the chair fall from his hands and picks Evenkiel back up. Jean hooks his arms and delivers a double underhook faceslam onto the steel chair. Not being finished, Jean digs under the ring for a table and sets it up. Picking Evenkiel back up, Jean delivers the Dark Circle to him through the table. Jean climbs onto Nik Cain's and Kevin Cole's announce table and executes a moonsault onto Evenkiel. Jean is slow getting up, but when he does, he tumbles against the ring apron as his music plays again. The fans are on their feet as Jean begins to leave and the medical attendants start running to the ring.)
Kevin Cole: Oh my goodness! A fight has broken out here in the opening moments of the broadcast!
Nik Cain: After the stunt he pulled last week, along with what he did at the pay per view, it might be increasingly difficult for Evenkiel to step foot around here without being attacked. And, dammit, that’s exactly how it should be.
Kevin Cole: Well let’s get this show started. Our first match of the night pits Scott Andrews against Nightwalker!

Jeff Davis' Evil Twin counts: One, two, three.
Samson has been eliminated.
The audience doesn't quite know how to react to Scourge.
Kevin Cole: And this war is finally over.
(Scourge raises his hands in victory. The rest of the Chamber come back out as well. Then the lights go out for a good 30 seconds. When they come back on, the three men have already slid out of the ring and readied themselves for an impending attack. Yet, they seem confused when they find no one in the ring ready to attack them. The three men shrug and stand in the middle of the ring again with their arms raised high. Suddenly, two men wearing ski masks and sweat suits slide into the ring. Scourge turns around and is met by a super kick by the smaller man, and then is dropped to the ground by a lariat from the larger man. The two men then run in and double clothesline Rinyth out of the ring. Jean attacks the big man and even has the upper hand when the smaller man produces a pair of brass knuckles from his trunks and clocks him in the jaw. The smaller man walks over to the fallen Jean and locks him in a Scorpion Deathlock STF and, after applying their holds for about a minute, he releases and rolls Jean out of the ring. The two men stand in the middle of the ring as the larger man takes off his mask to reveal...The Paladin! And the smaller man looks around to the fans, shrugs, and takes off his mask to reveal...Sambo! The crowd goes nuts as Sambo grabs the mic. )
Sambo: Well, here's
an interesting development...you have the Paladin...and you have Sambo. Two men
that, a few months ago, were at each other’s throats over trivial matters. Yet,
here we are, standing in the middle of the ring after taking out part of a
menace to the FCW. Oh no, I'm not talking about the Chamber...I'm talking about
the gothic population of the FCW! You see, there was a time in this business
where the popular personas were bad asses. Now look at the business. You have
people like Jeff Miller, who try to sacrifice valets and other wrestlers to some
fictional Dark Mother. You have your Chamber people like Jean and Rinyth
running around calling themselves "Prince of Darkness" or "Devil's Raven." Well,
I say enough! After my match last week were I won the Intercontinental Title, I
was watching the big screen and saw that sicko Jeff Miller, the same sicko I had
just defeated a few moments ago, try sacrificing Brad Steel. That's when I
decided that I needed something to keep me busy while I wasn't getting ready to
take out Payne. I had officially declared war on the Goths. Yet, I knew I
couldn't win by myself. So my first thought was to call up some of my old
sidekicks. But then again, they'd end up going Goth too. That's when he came
to me. Paladin told me he needed a partner. So I gave him my proposition. He
accepted. And now, the war begins.
The Paladin: Since Darian went off for a while to think about some things, I
found myself in need of a new partner to take on the Chamber. I said to myself
"Who could be the best partner for me? Who would bring the drive I need in a
partner?" I decided on none other than Sambo. He tore Payne a new one at
Lethal Lottery 2 and has proven himself championship material not only by being
the greatest Television champ that the FCW has ever known, but by winning the
Intercontinental title last week. For those reasons and more, I am proud to
call Sambo my partner! FCW, you're looking at the greatest pair of wrestlers to
walk through the door in a long time, and we're not going anywhere!
Sambo: FCW, let the Cleansing begin!
(The two leave the ring together.)
Nik Cain: The cleansing? The P.C. police are gonna have a field day with that one. Still, this is an interesting development in the soap opera that is FCW.
Kevin Cole: We are out of time! Until next week, this is Kevin Cole for Nik Cain saying goodnight!
