[Taylor Andrews]

January 7th, 2004

The shot comes alive with Paranoid by Black Sabbath playing and pyro shooting off inside the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. The camera moves about the arena capturing the fans waving their hands and signs in the air. After a few minutes it drops down to Joey Styles and Joel Gertner at ringside who are sitting at the commentators table, fans jumping around behind them.

Styles: Hello Detroit and welcome to the new SEF's first show since opening, the show called Extreme.

Gertner: Oh man, things are looking great here and the name of the game is just that as every match is hardcore to the bone.

Styles: Yes they are, the main event being no hold barred and for the IC Title, Matt's chance to step up a notch.

Gertner: Also, that stairway to hell match is looking great between D-Von and Bubba, them boys are ready to go.

Styles: Sure are, so are the women too. First we got that number one contenders match between Cassie and Patricia, leather strap at that, then the ladder match between Chae and Cassidy for the Women's Title.

Gertner: Nice, some hotties who can go hardcore. But also we got that triple threat elimination to see who fights the IC Champ next and that has a nice stip of bring your own weapon.

Styles: Yes it does, match should be brutal. That gauntlet match should be as well, but mostly probably from Viper's end of it all.

Styles: Wow, what a match, what a feat by Viper, especially after coming off that X-Cage. He had to still be feeling effects from it and to win tonight, even against five not to good men was a feat to accomplish.

Gertner: Yea it was, but was there really any doubt, Viper is the Undisputed Champ and the only good superstar in the match was Matt.

Leather Strap Match
#1 Contender To The Women's Championship
Cassie Michaels w/Strife vs. Patricia Stratigias w/Spike Dudley

Never Gonna Stop Me hits and Cassie comes running out along with Strife and the two slide in the ring. They pose together, then Strife hops out as Fighter begins to play. Soon, Patricia makes her way out with Spike by her side and she soon gets in the ring as Spike stays outside. The ref hooks the strap to each of their wrists and Cassie soon looks for a lock up, but Patricia ducks it at the last second and starts kicking away at Cassie's legs. She then nails a stiff kick to her back, then puts her down with a reverse ddt. Patricia then backs up on to the second rope and looks for a axe handle smash, but Cassie pulls on the strap bringing Patricia to her sooner, kicks her in the stomach and ddt's her. Cassie then lifts up Patricia and whips her into the ropes, looks for a clothesline, but Patricia ducks. Patricia comes back for her own clothesline, but Cassie ducks and dropkicks Patricia. Cassie picks up Patricia and scoop slams her, then doubles up the strap and begins whipping her in the back. She really lays into Patricia and leaves a few red welts on her back, then wraps the strap around Patricia's neck and starts choking her. Patriciai begins to fade, but with one motion, she jumps up and charges into the ropes, drops down on them sending Cassie flying to the outside. Patricia recovers a lil and slides out, pulls up Cassie by the hair and whips her into the steps, but gets reversed and sent smashing into them. Cassie grabs a chair and swings at Patricia, but she moves out of the way and Cassie hits the steps dropping the chair from the vibration. Patricia grabs the back of Cassie's head and jumps up over the steps smashing Cassie headfirst into them. Patricia gets up and lifts up Cassie to find her bleeding and quite a lot, then she sends Cassie into the guard rail. Patricia doubles up the strap and starts whipping Cassie in payback, then grabs the chair laying on the floor and brings it crashing down on Cassie's head. Patricia then rolls Cassie into the ring and slides in after her. She kicks Cassie in the ribs, then lifts her up on the turnbuckles, climbs up and looks for a hurricanrana, but Cassie blocks her and lifts up, powerbombing Patricia to the mat. Cassie steps up and tuns her body a lil, then leaps off for a shooting star press. Patricia just barely gets out of the way and lays face down as Cassie hits the mat hard laying face down as well.

Styles: Their both down, this is so close.

Gertner: Yea, what if they both get counted down?

The ref then checks on both women and soon begins a count..........1.........2........3.........4.......5.........6........7.......8..........Cassie begins moving and rolls over on Patricia pinning her.......1........2.........kickout! Patricia just barely got a shoulder up and the ref looks to do another count, but Cassie slowly gets to her feet and lifts up Patricia, looks for a backdrop, but Patricia blocks her and runs, leaps off the ropes and nails a bulldog. Patricia then pins.....1......2........kickout! Cassie barely kicks out and Patricia looks mad, lays in some slaps, then lifts up Cassie and tries for a powerbomb, but Cassie backdrops her. Cassie then slides out and grabs the chair, slides back in and waits for Patricia who slowly gets up, but when she does, Cassie nails her with the chair. Cassie then lays the chair down, lifts up Patricia and ddt's her into the chair, rolls her over on to the chair and climbs the top rope. Cassie stands up looking for something, probably her shooting star press, but Patricia slightly pulls the strap, enough to bring Cassie down on to the chair as Patrcia moved over. Cassie bounced up and landed away from Patricia and neither moves, so the ref counts.....1.....2.....3......4......5.....6.....7....8....9.....10!

J-Lo: This match has been declared a draw!

The crowd looks shocked and a lil disappointed as they wanted a winner when Cowboy fills the arena and Daddy Mack comes walking on stage with a mic.

Mack: I know, I myself wanted to see a winner here between both these wonderful athletes, but they both know each other too well I guess and are both too good. So in light of this, both Cassie and Patricia will be the number one contenders to the Women's Title and their shot comes at the Royal Rumble when they will fight Chae Stratigias or perhaps Cassidy Michaels if she wins tonight. The match at the Rumble will be triple threat style and of course, it will be hardcore to the bone baby.

Cowboy hits again as Mack smirks and heads to the back while Strife and Spike help up their women.

Styles: Man, that match between those women was amazing I must say. They really showed a whole new meaning for women.

Gertner: Very true, even I have to say they showed more than just their bodies, they showed their ability to work hard.
