Benny Mouse released the following statement on the conclusion of season one of the Elite Wrestling Alliance:
Dear friends,
It has been some time since I've last addressed you, thanks in part to the ongoing issues I've had with my estranged wife Molly Mouse and her boyfriend and former co-owner of the EWA, John Brown. I had, as you know, a very public mental episode, in which Saguna was brought on to serve in my stead.
As I adhered to my doctor's advice, I grew restless from my bed and decided that it was now or never in terms of taking my company back. As I stated at No Boundaries, it is nothing new for me to have to fight external and internal battles. The competition inside my own ranks, as well as the competition down south, have worked for decades to break my spirits and ruin my psyche. And though they came close, I am happy to report that I am in good spirits and I am excited to bring you the following news on the next season of the EWA, which premieres on Monday, August 3 -- a full eight weeks earlier than the PWI.
As you all know by know, in the seven head to head battles, the EWA went undefeated in the ratings against our competition. First, Chairman Murrey blamed the talent. He began threatening the careers of superstars who 'weren't pulling their weight.' Then, Mr. Murrey blamed the 'erratic' schedule of the EWA for the losses; and finally, Murrey has resigned to no longer making excuses. The truth is, our schedule did see quite a bit of turmoil, but regardless of Murrey's excuses, the simple fact is this: Every time wrestling fans were given a choice between the companies, they chose the EWA.
Perhaps Mr. Murrey's first mistake was not looking in a mirror, because as much respect as I have for him and his contributions to the industry in which I dominate, his time has come to a close. The audience no longer find Mr. Murrey to be a character worth watching, and instead of blaming the talented stars he has forced into retirement, perhaps Mr. Murrey should turn the finger-pointing towards his own self and his own failures. I'd even go as far as to offer Mr. Shamrock a contract, as his so called 'failures' were the fault of shoddy booking, and not of his lack of talent. (You may recall a brief period in time in which fans clamored to see Shamrock and Lesnar, in a battle of the UFC legends. Instead, they were treated to Shamrock presented as a joke, and an unrealistic threat to Lesnar's immunity - but hey, that 100 pound Petey Williams sure was a threat! Ah, I digress, and I'll leave the commentary to Mr. Hyatte...)
Below, the EWA has provided a complete head to head breakdown of the season, with the margin of victory in parenthesis:
Hell Hath No Fury: 7,304,811 (+137,311)
Revolution Episode 1: 7,289,000 (+101,500)
Revolution Episode 2: 7,296,500 (+119,834)
Revolution Episode 3: 7,373,333 (+185,139)
Revolution Episode 4: 7,284,167 (+101,945)
Revolution Episode 5: 7,316,666 (+61,666)
No Boundaries: 7,331,528 (+45,549 over Motivation Night 1; +14,121)
Murrey is right in arguing that things are trending closer, but I promise, the EWA is just getting started! Here is the preliminary schedule for EWA Season 2:
Monday, August 3, 2020: Revolution Episode 6
Monday, August 10, 2020: Revolution Episode 7
Monday, August 17, 2020: Revolution Episode 8
Monday, August 24, 2020: Revolution Episode 9
Monday, August 31, 2020: Revolution Episode 10 (Knockouts Takeover)
Monday, September 7, 2020: Revolution Episode 11
Saturday, September 12, 2020: EWA Presents: Heatwave
Following Heatwave, the EWA will have a three week mid-season break, before returning on Monday, October 5, 2020 and carrying out through December 12, in which we will conclude 2020 with Hell Hath No Fury 2.
And finally, already booked for the season two premiere, Grand Daddy Duxen will defend the EWA World Heavyweight Championship against Armageddon; 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey will challenge Ember Moon for the Knockouts Championship, and 'The Bastard Pac' will defend the X-Division Championship against Sean Olsen! Also, for the first time ever, Jesse Hash's 4:20 returns to feature the one and only Miss Athena Star!
Other season two notes:
The Knockouts Cup, previously awarded to former EWA Knockouts Champion Nikki Bella, has grown to a 16 woman tournament that will begin following the fall break, and will conclude at the annual all-Knockouts PPV Hell Hath No Fury.
The men's Money in the Bank will be crowned following a series of qualifying matches, beginning on the season two premiere.
The EWA is in the process of terminating the contracts of John Brown and Molly Mouse, pending board approval. Molly Mouse gave birth to a healthy baby boy immediately following No Boundaries. The baby is said to have two legs, but I remain skeptical. Molly and Brown remain hospitalized following injuries sustained at No Boundaries.
Stay tuned to for additional updates in the days and weeks to come!
Yours truly,
Benny Wade Mouse
