Interview:
Samoa Joe interview

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: This is going to be real short and to the point. At CyberSlam, I
beat the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. I pinned that arrogant, cocky,
scheming little bastard and now, I'm next in line for a title shot.

(The fans cheered. "Miseria Cantare - The Beginning" by AFI played as CM Punk
came to the ring to more cheers from the crowd.)

CM Punk: Joseph, I appreciate the fact that you pinned Randy Orton and won the
match for OUR team, but I'm the former champion and I still have not received
MY return match against Orton for MY title. Joseph, the title that both you and
I long for is mine and can only be mine. Joseph, I recommend you step aside
while I take what is mine.

(Joe approached Punk as "Burn In My Light" by Mercy Drive played as the Extreme
Horsemen: ECW World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, Rhino, Jerry Lynn and
C.W. Anderson came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Randy Orton: Gentlemen, I don't know why you're out here wasting everybody's
time. I am the ECW World Heavyweight Champion and I'll determine who and where
I defend my strap against. CM Punk...Oh, poor CM Punk. Title-less, worthless
and hopeless. Punk, you're so-called claim to this title died at Living
Dangerously. This is MY title, not YOURS, so get the fuck out of my ring,
before there's a problem.

(Punk approached Orton and squared off with him as Takeshi Morishima and Don
Callis hit the ring. Morishima laid Punk out with the Backdrop Driver. Rhino,
Lynn and Anderson commenced beating down Joe as Callis led Morishima backstage.
Orton stomped on Punk and proceeded to execute a running kick to his head. The
Extreme Horsemen left the ring to boos from the crowd as Joe and Punk lay on
the mat.)

Interview:
Extreme Horsemen interview

("Burn In My Light" by Mercy Drive played as the Extreme Horsemen: ECW World
Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, Rhino, Jerry Lynn and C.W. Anderson came to
the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Randy Orton: It's difficult to be right all the time, but alas, I am right once
again. Let's all give a round of applause for the former ECW World Heavyweight
Champion CM Punk.

(The fans booed Orton.)

Randy Orton: You see, being World Heavyweight Champion means being the best in
the business. It means being able to handle any challenge at any point in time.
CM Punk failed in every aspect of being champion and thus, I stand before all
of you today as the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion!

("Miseria Cantare - The Beginning" by AFI played as CM Punk came to the ring to
cheers from the crowd.)

CM Punk: Orton, you must think you're a real clever guy, don't you? Orton, you
stole my title and you stole my livelihood at Living Dangerously.

Randy Orton: Is that right? Well, what are you going to do about it?

CM Punk: Orton, I'm not going to stand here and fight all four of you, it's
illogical. Orton, if you were a man, you'd stand toe to toe with me and put my
title on the line.

Randy Orton: Punk, you're starting to piss me off, I'd recommend you get out of
here, before I lose my temper.

(Punk turned to leave the ring as the Extreme Horsemen turned their back to
Punk. Punk quickly attacked Orton to cheers from the crowd. Rhino, Lynn and
Anderson pulled Punk off of Orton. Samoa Joe quickly hit the ring and went
after Rhino and Lynn. Punk and Joe worked together to fight off the Extreme
Horsemen. Orton slid out of the ring and yelled at his Horsemen to do the same.
The Extreme Horsemen left the ring as Punk and Joe squared off in the center of
the ring. Punk stuck his hand out for Joe. Punk and Joe shook hands to cheers
from the crowd.)

Tajiri are here very simply to make a very simple statement to any tag team on
the face of the planet. Umaga and Tajiri are the new ECW World Tag Team
Champions and they are making it perfectly clear to any team that dares, they
will defend their championship belts against any team willing to step foot in
the ring with them. Umaga and Tajiri are the most deadly tandem ever put
together and I guarantee all of you that Umaga and Tajiri will not be beaten.

Interview:
CM Punk-Samoa Joe interview

("Miseria Cantare - The Beginning" by AFI played as ECW World Heavyweight
Champion CM Punk came to the ring to more cheers than boos from the crowd.)

CM Punk: Let's start first with the on-going situation between Randy Orton and
I. Orton, you won the Battle Royal. You pinned my shoulders at UltraClash.
Orton, you are the number one contender. You want your title shot, you come and
find me and take it. I'm not worried about looking over my shoulder. I'm not
worried about you or your Extreme Horsemen. Orton, you've got plenty to prove
to me and everyone else in ECW because I am the ECW World Heavyweight Champion
until I get beat for it. Now, moving on to Living Dangerously. At Living
Dangerously, it's Samoa Joe against CM Punk for my ECW World Heavyweight
Championship. Joe, UltraClash was a one time deal. We were a team for one night
and in the end, we failed as a team. Joe, it's not about that and it's not
about anything else, aside from the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: Punk, you're right, all this is about is the ECW World Heavyweight
Championship. It's your title as of right now, regardless of the bullshit you
went through to keep it. I don't forget about all of that and I'm not going to
go on and on out here. I'll save my energy for Living Dangerously and let my
thoughts be heard as I put you through the ring and become ECW World
Heavyweight Champion.

(Joe began to leave as Punk stood in his way.)

CM Punk: Joe, it's been you and I from the start and it's going to be you and I
until the end. You still don't seem to understand that it can only be you or I,
not both us. Joe, rest up for Living Dangerously, because I intend upon showing
you why I AM the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.

(Punk left the ring, leaving Joe staring out at him.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada introduces a new tag team

("Samoa" by Jim Johnston played as the debuting Armando Alejandro Estrada led
Umaga and the returning Yoshihiro Tajiri to the ring.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada: All you people wondering what Umaga is doing here in
ECW now have an answer. "The Samoan Bulldozer" and his new tag team partner
"The Japaneze Buzzsaw" Yoshihiro Tajiri are here very simply to inflict pain on
all those who get in their way. We are here right now to openly challenge the
ECW World Tag Team Champions. Briscoe Brothers, Umaga and Tajiri want a match
and they want it at Living Dangerously. There's no place to run, simply accept
the facts as they are presented to you.

("Gimme Back My Bullets" by Lynyrd Skynyrd played as the ECW World Tag Team
Champions The Briscoe Brothers: Jay & Mark Briscoe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada: Good work boys. It's time for you to, how you say,
man up.

(Jay Briscoe shoved Estrada as Umaga stepped in and pummeled Jay Briscoe with a
running clothesline. Tajiri commenced kicking Mark Briscoe in the stomach and
legs. Tajiri dropkicked Mark Briscoe in the face, sending him over the top
rope. Umaga picked Jay Briscoe up off the mat and threw him over the top rope
onto his brother.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada: Nobody touches Armando Alejandro Estrada. Boys, you
are not men. Umaga and Tajiri will prove it to the world when they take your
titles at Living Dangerously.

(Estrada led Umaga & Tajiri out of the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Rhino, Jerry Lynn and C.W. Anderson came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Randy Orton: UltraClash has come and UltraClash has gone. CM Punk and Samoa Joe
were able to co-exist for one night, but in the end, it didn't make a ounce of
difference. Their team was futile at best and couldn't stand toe to toe with my
Horsemen. CM Punk was pinned by the number one contender, me! Punk, it's not
like I have anything to prove to you as I am the number one contender
regardless, but now, it's one to nothing me. Punk, say what you will, you and I
both know, deep down, the fact that I have strolled into ECW and kicked your
ass kills you. Punk, it's just a matter of time before I plant your face into
the hard canvas and take your title. Punk, you don't have what it takes to
stand in the ring with me and that fact has been proven already. Punk, shine it
up real nice for me, because it's changing hands very soon...you won't even
know what hit you.

(The Extreme Horsemen left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Kamikaze interview

("Attack on the Shuttle" by Vince DiCola played as Callis led his Kamikaze
stable: Takeshi Morishima, Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA to the ring to boos from
the crowd.)

Don Callis: Guilty As Charged has come and gone and in my opinion, the man that
is guilty in the court of Callis is still CM Punk. Punk, I can't personally
even believe that you got past the machine that is Takeshi Morishima, but alas
you did. Let's all give CM Punk a big round of applause...ok, that's enough.
Punk, you're not a champion and you never will be. Sure, you may be in
possession of the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, but in the end, you're
nothing more than a safe keeper of that very strap of gold until the times
comes for the likes of the Kamikaze to strike and take what is theirs.

(The fans booed Callis.)

Don Callis: The topic of the hour is not ECW World Heavyweight Championship
gold, unfortunately. ECW UltraClash is on the horizon and Paul Heyman has put
together a Three Way Dance featuring CM Punk and Samoa Joe against Randy Orton
and Rhino against Umaga and Kamikaze's own Takeshi Morishima. The topic is a
potentially volatile one. Why in the world Takeshi Morishima is forced to tag
team with Umaga is beyond me. There's absolutely no telling from one moment to
the next what Umaga is going to do and Heyman tells us that Morishima is to
trust Umaga as his tag team partner. Bullshit is the response from this contingent. Heyman thinks he's clever. He's thinks he's cunning, but in the
end, all he's done is sealed the fate of the ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
because every man in the ring wants a piece of CM Punk, tag team partner or
not.

(Kamikaze left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
CM Punk interview

("Miseria Cantare - The Beginning" by AFI played as ECW World Heavyweight
Champion CM Punk came to the ring to more cheers than boos from the crowd.)

CM Punk: As previously stated by Don Callis, ECW UltraClash pairs me up with
Samoa Joe. It's not my choice and it's not Joe's choice, but in life, sometimes
things are the way they are for a reason and in this case, Joe and I teaming up
to fend off Takeshi Morishima, Umaga, Randy Orton and Rhino is fitting. Each
one of those men would gladly pick me up, drop me on my head and pin me; that
includes Samoa Joe.

("The Champ is Here" by Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: Punk, don't act like you wouldn't be deserving of being dumped on
your head by me. Punk, you put me through a lot of bullshit. I'm the one who
should be out here stating my case for being teamed with you, but I'm not. Why?
Because in the end, it's not going to matter. In the end, it's going to come
down to me and you, one on one for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and
I'll have free reign to drop you straight on your head, taking the title with
me.

CM Punk: That's a novel idea, but that's not part of the game come UltraClash.
Joe, we're tag team partners and partners have to co-exist to make it work. Joe, all I'm asking for is one night as a team and after that, I'll gladly
defend MY title against you.

(Joe put his hand out for Punk, who shook it and walked off.)

Interview:
John Cena interview

("The Time is Now" by John Cena played as John Cena came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

John Cena: Guilty As Charged should have the start of something big for The
Champ, but it wasn't. It wasn't, because MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Theodore
Long. We've got three on one. Three frightened, fearful, panic-stricken
assholes who know they can't seal the deal by themselves, so they come at me
all at once. MVP, I'd like to ask you one question. How does it feel to be a
coward? Really, it's an honest question. How does it feel to be a poser? Huh?
You flaunt yourself like some badass thug and then you fall back like a rapper
and have someone else do it for you. MVP, you're nothing, but a scared-ass
coward who can't stand toe to toe with me!

(As Cena concluded his sentence, MVP, Benjamin and Long hit the ring. MVP and
Benjamin doubled teamed Cena and began beating him down. Frankie Kazarian hit
the ring and came to the aid of Cena. Cena and Kazarian fended-off MVP and
Benjamin, sending them to the aisle way with Long and eventually backstage.
Cena and Kazarian shook hands as the fans cheered.)

("Ghost of the Navigator" by Iron Maiden played as Ken Kennedy and Necro

Ken Kennedy: Yes, I lost to Bryan Danielson. No, I'm not going to simply pick
up and move. Is that clear enough for all of you idiots sitting on your fat
asses in the audience?

(The fans booed Kennedy.)

Ken Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, don't make me send The Necro Butcher out
into the crowd, I guarantee you he's not going to adhere to the rules on the
back of the ticket. The topic now is revenge; my revenge for Bryan Danielson
pinning my broad shoulders to the mat. Necro and I have discussed and we feel
it best to make the old American Dragon suffer. What is suffering at its core,
but to tolerate or endure evil, injury, pain, or death? In the end, it's a
matter of bearing something. It's my decree that the Butcher and I bear
Danielson to the ring Gods and make him suffer to be ECW World Television
Champion. Danielson, you will bear the fruits of your effort and ability by
being beaten down and left for nothing, as I stand over you clutching the gold
you suffer for.

(Kennedy and Butcher left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Extreme Horsemen interview

("Burn In My Light" by Mercy Drive played as the Extreme Horsemen: Randy Orton,
Rhino, Jerry Lynn and C.W. Anderson came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Randy Orton: I've got to say, if Guilty As Charged was the best ECW's got, then
the Extreme Horsemen are in for a damn cakewalk. The ECW Battle Royal was won
by yours truly and I am now the number one contender for the ECW World
Heavyweight Championship. The catch, it's my choice of when I invoke my title
shot. That makes me even more deadly than ever before; which is a scary thing
to even think about. The Extreme Horsemen are galloping back to the top of the
heap, led by its white knight. The rest of ECW better take notice and better do
so very quickly because we're not being told what to do and when to do it;
we're making the rules around here. We'll tell everybody else how it's going to
work and that starts at the top with the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, CM
Punk. Punk, I'm going to be your shadow until I feel it's appropriate to take
you out. Punk, I am your worst nightmare, because you'll never see me coming.

(The Extreme Horsemen left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Lance Storm interview

("El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-o Rama" by White Zombie played as
Lance Storm came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Lance Storm: A typical reaction from a typical group of imbeciles. The question
on everybody's mind I'm sure is: why did Lance Storm turn on Justin Credible?
I've been asked numerous times already and I will now, in an open forum state
my reason. The reason is quite simple. Justin Credible had become no more than
just incredible. Justin Credible used to be something. He used to be a
trendsetter. He used to plant the flag of The Impact Players in the ground and
dare somebody to cross it. That was far too long ago. Justin Credible may as
well go back to being a flunky for someone else, because he forgot what brought
him to the top. It's all about Lance Storm, THE Impact Player. I'm not going to
stand-by and watch my career be destroyed by a man who can't get out of his own
way. To Justin Credible, I say good riddance. To ECW, I say look out.

(Storm left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Credible & Lance Storm) match, with Marufuji and Credible as the legal men,

Kamikaze interview

("Attack on the Shuttle" by Vince DiCola played as Callis led his Kamikaze
stable: Takeshi Morishima, Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA to the ring to boos from
the crowd.)

Don Callis: ECW has become a battle of the nine. My three Kamikazes: Takeshi
Morishima, Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA against Samoa Joe and The Briscoe
Brothers against CM Punk and The Hardy Boyz! The problem with this equation is
that two thirds of the equation holds ECW championship gold and that doesn't
involve my trio! CM Punk holds the ECW World Heavyweight Championship while The
Briscoe Brothers hold the ECW World Tag Team Championship. That all changes
come Guilty As Charged because it's already been announced that CM Punk will
defend his title against Takeshi Morishima! CM Punk, The Hardy Boyz, Samoa Joe
and The Briscoe Brothers don't seem to understand what they're dealing with
because we're not going to stand around and wait for our chance, we're going to
reach up and take it! A Kamikaze strikes when it's least expected and that's
exactly what we're going to do!

World Television Championship is the prize and Guilty As Charged is the venue.
The target: Bryan Danielson and his pasty, white body. Danielson, you may be a
talented man, but you're not the cunning, genius as I am. I am ECW now and I
plan on showing all of the fools who chant for "The American Dragon" that
they're chanting for the wrong son-of-a-bitch! Mr. Kennedy is the name and
winning is the game. Mr. Kennedy accepts nothing except victory and success.
Danielson, you are the ECW World Television Champion, but that's only because
you haven't stepped in the ring, one-on-one, with me yet. Danielson, I assure
you, Guilty As Charged is the perfect title for the next event, because your
title reign, your body and your career hangs in the balance as I prepare to
unleash my wrath on you.
