What an Eclipse we’ve had this week at SRW! It’s been a major week for SRW developments outside the squared circle too, with various goings on politically, including a challenge to this esteemed federation by an unknown who goes by the name of ‘El Swandre’! Well, earlier this week, some SRW superstars, forgetting their own rivalries for a moment, met up with this non-believer in the parking lot. *chuckles* Let’s take a look…

EARLIER THIS WEEK…
El Swandre is walking to his car, but there seems to be someone in it! He walks over to the window and taps on the blacked out panel. Who is it? As the window slowly goes down a nervous El Swandre peers through…IT’S REAVER (ANT)!! “I read recently that you doubted the quality of SRW”. El Swandre nods. “Weell, just as a little taster, we’ve prepared a little package of what SRW is about”…and eye rakes El Swandre, who, dazed, turns to escape…BUT BOUNCES OFF THE IMPERIOUS BODIES OF HAWK (AJ) AND THE PSYHIATRIST (MIKEALL)!! He’s in trouble now!! SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OUT OF NOWHERE FROM GRANDPRIX!
El Swandre hits the car, and the superstars of SRW start stomping on El Swandre! Reaver, orchestrating, orders Cong Man to Irish Whip him into the car, which he does, busting him open!! H e whispers something in Hawk’s ear, causing a sneer on his face. The other SRW guys throw a broken El Swandre onto the top of the car…Hawk jumps up to and lifts El Swandre…AND HITS A HAWK SCREWDRIVER!!! THE CAR ROOF PRACTICALLY SHATTERS!! Leaving a battered and bruised El Swandre in the dented car roof, Reaver (Ant) walks over to him and whispers “That, my boy, is what SRW is all about”, leaving El Swandre in no doubt of SRW’s dominance and superiority!

Now that we’ve got that little matter sorted out, let’s turn to tonight’s main event, a No. 1 Contender’s match for the SRW Title between The Whole Dam Show, Rob Van Dam (Rickoss), and the man who was only narrowly defeated in an epic SRW Title Cage Match by the then champion Kevin Nash not so long ago, the larger than life Chris Jericho (Figo)! The burgeoning career of both these two tremendous athletes would be furthered even more if one of these two can earn a shot at Scott Steiner’s recently acquired SRW Title.
Lillian Garcia (Shaneo) steps into the ring and speaks…”This match is scheduled for one fall, and is a No.1 Contender’s match for the SRW Title. And introducing, at 225 pounds, from Winnipeg, Canada, Chris Jericho!
THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS…5…4…3…2…1…BREAK THE WALLS DOWN! Here’s Chris Jericho (Figo) to a cacophony of boos, but he’s revelling in it! Y2J struts to the ring in his customary manner and grabs the mic off a startled Lillian Garcia for an impromptu speech! “Welcome to ECLIPSE IS JERICHO (does that even work? :). Let me take you back a couple of weeks. I know most of the people in this arena don’t have much brainpower so I’ll detail it for you. (Boos from the crowd) At Road to KotR, I battled then champ Kevin Nash (Allardini) in a Cage Match. I took punishment in that match – powerbombed from the cage, pildriven from halfway up the cage, I even moonsaulted from the top, only to meet canvas. And I lost. (Some cheers) But I’m back, ready to take more, so I can attain what is rightfully mine, the SRW Cha…
‘ONE OF A KIND’ HITS! IT’S ROB VAN DAM (RICKOSS)!! The familiar pose is struck, on the ramp, as well as by the majority of the audience in the stands. As RVD strolls down the ramp, basking in the adulation of the crowd, back in the ring Jericho is incensed that RVD cut him off, and he angrily takes off his shirt, anticipating RVD’s imminent arrival. After one last thumbs salute, Rob Van Dam (Rickoss) slides into the ring at the start of what should be a quickfire, skilful match up.
DING DING DING!
The match starts off with some lock-ups, some quick countering and a lot of reversals as one man seeks to gain an early advantage, but nothing. They break up again. And lock up again. A lot off technical wrestling early on here…but nothing. They break up again, to the derision of the crowd. Both men circle each other in the ring as the crowd slowly gets hotter. They lock up again. RVD seems to be getting the better of Jericho (Figo)…but a stiff elbow to the sternum by Jericho, unsettling RVD…WHOO!! A knife-edge chop from Jericho…WHOO!! And another…WHOO!!…And another!!
Irish whip by Jericho, propelling RVD (Rickoss) into the ropes. Jericho then jumps at him and hits a flying lariat, accompanied by Jericho’s usual shout! Jericho quickly spots the opportunity and goes for an early Walls of Jericho, but he can’t seem to turn RVD over…can he?…AMAZING AGILITY BY RVD TO FLIP JERICHO OVER!! What a manoeuvre, RVD used his leg power and natural ability to twist Jericho and flip him over – I wonder what psychological effect that will have on Jericho now that one of his most successful moves was countered so effectively by RVD.
RVD senses the tide is turning…as Jericho (Figo) gets to his feet he is met with a stiff Karate Kick to the jaw! Surprisingly, Jericho gets up rather quickly. RVD starts hitting Y2J with some fast kicks to the legs, backing him into a corner. Both men wrestle for supremacy by the turnbuckle, but RVD lifts Jericho to the top turnbuckle, the crowd cheering. RVD is looking to hit a hellacious backdrop from the turnbuckle, but Jericho is resisting! Elbow to the chest of RVD, and again! CRASH!!! RVD (RICKOSS) WAS JUST SENT CRASHING DOWN TO THE CANVAS!!
What impact as RVD’s body is writhing on the floor! Jericho looks to hit a customary elbow drop from the top rope…he sets himself. What’s this? JERICHO APPEARS TO BE ATTEMPTING A FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!!! HE HITS IT…BUT RVD PUTS HIS KNEES UP! KNEES UP BY RVD! Jericho (Figo) is reeling from that blow. RVD leans over…1….2…
KICK OUT! As Jericho said earlier, it’s going to take a lot more than that to put him down! RVD doesn’t give up though, running to the nearby ropes and hitting a rope flip! He goes for another pinfall attempt…1……2…..shoulder up!, and this time with gusto by Jericho. Jericho gets swiftly to his feet this time. Clothesline by Jericho, shoulder block, knocking RVD to the canvas. As Jericho walks over to RVD, RVD grabs Jericho’s legs and turns it into an inside cradle……...1……...2……..another kick out by Chris Jericho. As Jericho gets to his feet, RVD (Rickoss) delivers a roundhouse kick to the jaw of Y2J Chris Jericho (Figo)! He runs to the ropes and goes to hit the ROLLING THUNDER…BUT THIS TIME JERICHO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!
This allows Jericho to get a breather, and despite the earlier boos Jericho is now getting some cheers from an appreciative crowd. Jericho is first to his feet and picks up RVD (Rickoss), hooking his head under his arm and hitting a hard suplex, but RVD’s body seems to rebound from the impact as he gets straight back up! RVD starts hitting Jericho with some right hands, and runs to the ropes and hits an accurate Missile Dropkick! Jericho (Figo) doesn’t go down though, and staggers backwards, prompting RVD to run at him and hit a running clothesline over the top rope, knocking Jericho’s head into the announce table.
RVD skilfully jumps out the ring, and nails Jericho with a few shots to the head, before removing the monitors and protective cover, hitting Jericho inbetween to keep him dazed. He picks up Jericho and lays him flat out on the table…WHERE’S HE GOING? RVD JUMPS ON THE SECOND ROPE FROM THE OUTSIDE AND FLIPS ONTO JERICHO!!! SMACK!!! THE TABLE SHATTERS!! UNBELIEVABLE!
RVD (Rickoss) picks up a broken Jericho (Figo) into the ring and pushes him in the ring. He goes for the count…

KICK OUT!!!! RVD (RICKOSS) CAN’T BELIEVE IT! The crowd goes wild! RVD picks up Jericho and punches him – Jericho appears close to a TKO. And another punch! And an…BUT JERICHO REVERSES! The crowd start cheering him, I think anyone must admire his toughness! He Irish whips RVD and hits the BULLDOG, and we all know what happens next! Somehow Y2J (FIGO) summons the strength to hit the LIONSAULT! LIONSAULT! HE GOES FOR THE PIN…

KICK OUT!!!!! SENSATIONAL! Jericho is nearly crying with exasperation, he thought he had him there!!
What more can these two men give us? They’ve put everything into their bodies to win this match! RVD is first to his feet. He rolls out of the ring, battered and bruised, but still finds the time to give an RVD signal to an accepting crowd! What’s he doing? In a throwback to his ECW days, RVD is bringing out a garbage can!! He slides back into the ring and places the garbage can into the centre of the ring…YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME?! RVD IS PLACING JERICHO OVER THE GARBAGE CAN SO Y2J’S BODY ARCS OVER THE CAN!!! The crowd are going absolutely mental as RVD swiftly jumps to the top turnbuckle…FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!!!……
…….BUT JERICHO (FIGO) MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! RVD JUST HIT A FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH ONTO A STEEL GARBAGE CAN – DENTING THE CAN – AND HIS STERNUM – IN THE PROCESS!!! What an impact!! RVD (Rickoss) is reeling as Jericho gets to his feet. As RVD rolls onto his back, Jericho himself spots an opportunity…he runs to the ropes…bounces of the second one…LIONSAULT! LIONSAULT!…..
………BUT NOW RVD MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? JERICHO JUST HIT A LIONSAULT ONTO THE REMAINS OF THE GARBAGE CAN!! What a sequence of events, and the crowd respond with a roar that is off the charts!! NEITHER WRESTLER CAN SEEM TO MAKE PROPER CONTACT!!
This is unreal – neither RVD (Rickoss) nor Chris Jericho (Figo) has made proper contact with their most devastating moves, but you get the feeling that the man that eventually does will emerge from this contest victorious! RVD sees Jericho absolutely flat out on the canvas, and he gets to the top turnbuckle…FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!!…AND THIS TIME IT DOES MAKE CONTACT!!! HE DRAPES HIS ARM OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER..

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROB VAN DAM (RICKOSS) IS THE NO.1 CONTENDER FOR THE SRW TITLE!
RVD collapses on the floor, tired but victorious, but Jericho (Figo) lays on the canvas, left to rue his missed chances…
