Drakor Kicks out quickly. Drakor is about to pick up Jeff when suddenly Jeff sweeps Drakor's legs. There is a tremendous thud as Drakor comes crashing to the ground. Jeff Stands up with a relief expression on his face but Drakor was getting up quickly so Jeff picks him up and Irish whips him in the corner. Jeff sits Drakor down in the corner, he then bounces off the ropes hitting Drakor in the chest with his two feet.

Black Snow: "You tell them Chet."

Jeff gets up, but at the same time Drakor gets up aswell.

Drakor:"Time to crush your head."

Drakor comes close to Jeff with his arms out and his hands shaped like it should be holding a ball. As Drakor backs Jeff into the corner Jeff slides out the ring and goes under the ring.

Eric Bull: "Where is he going?"

Black Snow: "Yea you've got some real good action on Vendetta HAHAHA!"

Drakor looks confused as behind him Jeff comes out the other side of the ring. Jeff slides back into the ring. He taps Drakor on his shoulder, Drakor turns around and instantly Jeff clotheslines Drakor on to the floor. Drakor gets up looking angry. The Crowd start screaming LET'S GO HARDY (Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap and so on.) Jeff starts to get pumped. He runs at Drakor just to be knocked down again by Drakor huge Elbow to the face.

Chet Lemon: "Bring it home to Mayhem, Baby!!"

Jeff Slides out the ring and walks up the ramp high-fiving fans. He gets to the stage and put his arms up high so everyone can see then a pyro goes off behind him in a shape of a V symbolising Vendetta.

Nate Insano vs J Glick A Extreme lumberjack match

After the first match of the show the episode of main event goes to a shot of a gigantic and luxurious room, big enough to be a hotel apartment. An expensive looking desk is located near the left side of the room with a beautiful window view of a nearby beach next to it. The desk is decorated with plants and dumped with seemingly important forms and letters. A black leather chair behind the desk spins around slowly to reveal Megaman in a grey suit on his mobile phone. Mega’s face has a slight look of cockiness and confidence on it while he spoke on the phone. Suddenly the door of Mega’s office springs open and an angry David Michaels storms inside. David walks to Mega’s table.

David Michaels: What are you doing Mega? Are you trying to kill SIW in a way as vile as possible?

Megaman: What is it you want with me David?

David Michaels: This stupid team SIW vs team XWA match has gone way out of hand! This match has caused so much argument that Evan Flare walked out on us!

Megaman: Well that was not my intention. It’s simply just something the fans want to see and we might aswell give it to them. If it makes you feel any better we lost Prototype due to arguments.

David Michaels: Oh yeah? Is that all part of the plan then? Make your team heated up so they injure all of the SIW guys right? Well it’ll never work, because our team is now concentrated unlike I’ve ever seen them before. So you can...

Megaman! David, I don’t need this right now. I have a wrestling show to run, and you have to compete, so until then, you can stick your crazy conspiracy theory up your ass and get out of my office!

David Michaels: You haven’t heard the last of this, and come King of Xtreme, you’ll regret you ever made this match!

David Michaels nods his head slowly then exits Mega’s room. Mega has a look on his face as if to say “what the hell just happened” and Main Event goes to a commercial break.
___________________________________

Backstage at the Team XWA locker room Nate Insano, McNugget, Smoke Xtreme, Prototype and Jason Sparks are all sitting and discussing the upcoming Team SIW vs Team XWA match.

McNugget: Listen guys, tonight we’ll weaken the SIW lot with our straps, then at the ppv they’ll be easy targets.

Nate Insano: Listen dude, we shouldn’t use too much energy tonight, we don’t want to get all tired out for our match. I say we only defend.

Smoke Xtreme: Guys! Do we really need to plan so far ahead? I mean just go with the flow and do all we can to win. We are superior in our wrestling skills to team SIW, so we have nothing to worry about!

Nate Insano: Smoke, you can never be too careful, so I recommend you quit showing off your enormous ego and get serious with strategy or else you’re not worthy of being a part of this team.

Prototype: Hey Nate, shut up. Smoke makes a valid pointy and I don’t respect you stomping all over it! So why don’t you just worry about your upcoming match and we’ll do our best to look after you.

Nate Insano: You know what? I am starting to get sick and tired of hearing all this arguing, and moaning, and bitching and complaining. Screw you guys.

Nate storms out of the room frustrated at the arguments of his team mates.

Jason Sparks: What’s his problem? He better calm down before his match or our team will look bad.

And so team XWA continue to argue about their match without Nate. A shot is then shown of Nate walking down a corridor frustrated. He passes a random cameraman who waves at him. Nate backs up and gives the cameraman an evil look.

Nate Insano: What do you want?

The cameraman continues smiling

Cameraman: What’s wrong Nate? Still annoyed you lost your XWA world title?

Nate Insano: What s that supposed to be funny? Well I’ll teach you to be funny!

Nate Insano punches the man straight in the jaw, then continues with another punch to the cheek, and another. Nate then kicks the petrified cameraman in the gut and throws his face against the wall. The Cameraman falls to the floor and Nate then stomps on him in frustration. The camera then turns to two infamous faces of team SIW, Tyler Lawson and J Glick A.

Tyler Lawson: Someone’s pissed off... maybe he just looked in the mirror and realised he looks like he hadn’t taken a shower in 3 months.

J Glick A: You know what Tyler? Wouldn’t piss him off or he might kill us with his BO. Take a shower man!

Nate Insano: Oh yeah very funny clowns. And I guess you’re here to turn on team SIW like you did to DXWO.

Tyler Lawson: D-d-d-dude... don’t bring that up. It’s a sensitive issue and I don’t wanna talk about it.

J Glick A: Oh yeah, see what you did now? You made him cry, nice going man.

Nate Insano: Hey it’s not my fault that your friend here is a sensitive woman. Why are you even standing next to Tyler anyway? Didn’t you guys split up or something?

J Glick A: No as a matter of fact Nate me and Tyler made up so we could get along for our SIW vs XWA match.

Nate Insano: Well I tell you what, I don’t care if you have Tyler by your side or not. I am a former world champion. That for one day is worth more than your whole career! I am an accomplished veteran. What have you done? Been rewarded a meaningless title and had a poor win/lose record.

J Glick A: You’re right Nate, I may be the underdog here. I haven’t had much of a career, but if I beat a former world champion tonight then do you know what it could do for my career? Do you know what it could do for the Legacy of SIW?

Nate Insano: Will you just shut up about that SIW vs XWA match for like one second already? I can’t believe I got myself into this shit.

Nate walks off again yet again is frustration. Tyler and Glick are left confused at what just happened and why Nate was annoyed.

__________________________________

XWA goes to an interview room with grey brick walls and a screen in the background that has the Main Event logo on loop. J Glick A is standing in his entrance attire next to Jeremy Borash who is holding a mic. This makes the crowd boo at the sight of a member of SIW.

Jeremy Borash: Hello I’m Jeremy Borash and my guest at this time, J Glick A! So J Glick A what are your thoughts on facing Nate Insano, a man who’s clearly in a rage.

J Glick A: You know what JB? You’re an idiot. I know it, the Jays and Ays know it... hell all of Glicksville know that Nate isn’t really in a rage. He’s just making himself seem like a dominant force so that I get scared, but you know what? I don’t get scared easily.

Jeremy Borash: But Glick, aren’t you making yourself seem cocky at the moment to make yourself seem like a dominant force?

J Glick A: Oh excuse me! I didn’t know you were a psychologist. My mistake, anyway enough of tonight, I want to talk about SIW vs XWA. The match of the ages! You see...

Suddenly a man in a black mask runs into the shot and smacks J Glick A around the face with a metal pole. He continues attacking J Glick A in the legs with his pole, but after a few strikes the referees come into the scene and pull the masked man away. Borash obviously just stands there with his usual look of confusion.

Main Event goes to a shot of the commentators Ted Cedar and Eric Bull.

Ted Cedar: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to Main Event, the last show before Xtreme Champions.

Eric Bull: That’s right Ted and for our next match we have a special guest commentator from SIW. (The camera moves to the left to show a familiar face from SIW programming) That’s right it’s The Nacho man... Sandy Ravage!

Sandy Ravage: Ooooooooh yeah! It’s great to finally be getting paid again, even if I still do get paid in nachos.

Ted Cedar: Anyway, during the break J Glick A was recovering from the damage that a mask man had caused to his knee. J Glick A will still be able to compete but is still in pain.

Sandy Ravage: You see that? That’s the fighting spirit that every member of SIW has!

Eric Bull: Too bad SIW doesn’t have any brains, and I must say sandy you are no exception to that rule.

The intro of the SIW theme song starts to play while the camera zooms into the entrance stage. The SIW lumberjacks: KjKi, Killer J and Kyle Kross all standing in a row with Tyler Lawson in front of them walk out of the entrance stage. All of them stop and stand in a line. They are all holding white straps with the SIW logo on it. Most of the crowd boo them because they are obviously XWA fans. All of the SIW lumberjacks stand still for a moment looking at the ground to create tension in the arena. They all turn their heads up at the same time then all raise both of their arms in the air to signal an enormous white and red pyro go off behind them. The Pyro went from right to left and left alot of smoke.
Lillian Garcia: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is an extreme lumberjack match. Coming in first, the Sudden Impact Wrestling lumberjacks.

The SIW lumberjacks lower their arms and begin to walk down the stairs. All of them are wearing a team SIW t-shirt (which are now available on XWAshop.com). While walking down the ramp, they nod their heads at the fans and offer them high fives, which just made the crowd boo them more. A very feint S-I-Dub chant was heard, but it was overwhelmed by an enormous X-Dub-A chant. The SIW lumberjacks reach the end of the ramp and spread out around then left side of the ring, all of them shaking their straps around and stretching. The music slowly dies down so that all that can be heard was an X-Dub-A chant. This goes on for a while which makes the lumberjacks a bit annoyed at the fans. A man in the front row takes a rotten egg out of his bad and attempts to throw it at a lumberjack, but it misses them by an inch and splats on the floor instead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vPGrSnNcfU

The music of XWA vendetta then starts which makes the fans pop like crazy. The X-Dub-A chant is now louder than ever as the camera scrolls through the rabid fans. It cuts to a shot of the entrance stage and a huge grey smoke pyro shoots off from the titantron screen in an X shape. The XWA lumberjacks then walk out in the order of Smoke Xtreme, McNugget, Jason Sparks and Safari Man. They get the loudest pop of the night, even the heels. Many fans bow down to the lumberjacks. All of the XWA lumberjacks raise their right hand which holds their black straps with the XWA logo on it. A huge golden fountain pyro sprays behind them while they have their arms raised in the air.

Lillian Garcia: And making their way to the ring, the lumberjacks of Xtreme Wrestling Association!

The lumberjacks walk down the ramp, nodding at the loud cheers and X-Dub-A chants. Some of the lumberjacks decide to high five the fans, but the others just try to heighten the cheers by taunting. They all wear a team XWA shirt (Also available on XWAshop.com). Team XWA then walk to the opposite side of team SIW and spread around the right side of the ring. Their theme song ends and team XWA stand around the ring holding their straps. Across the ring, team SIW and XWA have a stare down. The X-Dub-A chants have faded down but a loud SIW sucks chant is heard. Most of XWA have large grins on their faces. The blood-thirsty fans start throwing their bottle caps at all of the members of team SIW. Team SIW try to ignore it, apart from KjKi who starts growling at the fans.

Eric Bull: Bah gawd! I have never seen such an anti SIW crowd in my life!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr1JfQyEIZs

Suddenly a gong goes off and all the lights in the arena turn red as the beginning of J Glick A’s theme starts. There is an insanely negative reaction. The camera scrolls through the XWA fans, all with their middle fingers up. A whole sector of the arena is filled with people wearing shirts with an image of the SIW logo crossed out on them. The cameras are now filming the entrance stage awaiting the Glickinator to enter. Out of the curtains comes J Glick A wearing a black jacket and navy blue tracksuits with a red skull and red lettering. J Glick A’s gloves are also blue. J Glick A is limping slightly on his way down the stage. This causes the XWA fans to chant “Faker! Faker! Faker!” J Glick A pisses off the fans more by smiling. J Glick A then stops in his tracks and looks at the floor. J Glick A then slowly lifts his head to look forward and points at himself, making the crowd chant “you suck”. J Glick A then makes his arms in a cross shape as a blue pyro explodes behind him. J Glick A raises the cross over his head as the pyro continues to explode.

Lillian Garcia: And making his way to the ring, he is from Glicksville England, representing team SIW... he is the Glickinator, J Glick A!

J Glick A nods his head then smiles while limping down the ramp. The “you suck” chants are now replaced by “SIW Sucks” chants. J Glick A ignores it and tries to high five the fans. The fans would usually stick their middle fingers at him and a few splashed their drinks at him. Despite all of this, J Glick A continues to stay positive to piss off the fans. J Glick A stops limping and stands still for a bit. He looks around then raises both arms up. J Glick A then continues limping until he reaches the ring. J Glick A walks to his lumberjacks and gives them a quick pep talk. They all look pumped up so J Glick A limps back to the steps then struggles up them. J Glick A then steps into the ring and grabs the ropes. Glick puts his hand over his eyes like Christian. A large “you suck!” chant echoes through the arena. J Glick A grabs his knee, adjusting his knee brace, then walks to the middle of the ring. J Glick A raises both of his arms up while closing his eyes and stays in the pose. A guy from the crowd throws a roll of toilet paper at him. J Glick A then puts his arms back down and removes his jacket and hands it to the referee. The referee takes the toilet roll out of the ring. J Glick A’s theme stops playing but is replaced by an ear-shattering amount of boos. J Glick A bends his knee and waits for his opponent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL2_LT7TT2E

Nate Insano’s theme begins to play and the boos quickly change to an extremely loud cheers for an XWA veteran. Many team XWA signs are put up in the building. A huge banner with the XWA logo is rested on the barricade. The crowd chant “gore, gore, gore” waiting for Nate to enter. A red fountain pyro sprays to cover the whole curtain of the XWA entrance stage. The pyro is thick enough that you can’t see anything behind the stage. Nate Insano then walks out in front of the pyro to start a huge roar of X-Dub-A chants. Nate Insano looks around at the XWA fans and then roars while beating his chest. The XWA fans chant “Break his leg, break his leg” Nate Insano walks to the left of the stage then stops and points to the crowd. Nate then runs to the right of the stage and stops to beat his chest and then raise his right arm. Nate then goes to the centre of the ramp and begins to walk down. His face is full of raged and he is wearing a red singlet with Insane written in the middle of it in black. His boots have red laces and he has white wrist tape.

Lillian Garcia: and the opponent, from parts unknown, representing team XWA... the insane annihilator, Nate Insano!

Nate Insano walks down the ramp with the XWA fans cheering him on. The fans pat him on his back as Nate walks down the ramp with his teeth and fists clenched. All of the XWA fans bow down to him, despite Nate being a badass heel. At the end of the ramp Nate bangs both of his fists together twice then angrily charges to the ring steps. His team mates give him a thumbs up as Bate approaches near them but Nate just rolls his eyes and carries on walking up the steps. Once at the top of the steps, Nate walks across the apron a bit then steps into the ring. Once in the ring Nate beats his chest and gives off a victory yell. Nate then looks in the eyes of J Glick A and makes a slit thought action, much to the pleasure of the XWA fans. J Glick A just smiles back at him. Nate’s theme ends and an X-Dub- A chant goes off again. More toilet paper is thrown at team SIW and everyone puts their middle fingers up at them.

The referee rings the bell and the match is underway. J Glick A and Nate stare down at each other which begins a “fuck him up Nate” chant. Both men lock up as toilet paper is thrown into the ring at all directions. Both men try to overpower each other. Nate eventually pushes J Glick A to the ropes. Nate then rests J Glick A on the ropes and begins to pound his head until the referee breaks it up. Both men walk away from the ropes then straight away Nate hits a roundhouse kick to J Glick A’s leg, making Glick cringe. Smoke Xtreme slaps his strap on J Glick A’s knee from outside of the ring, causing a huge cheer.

Ted Cedar: Looks like the XWA universe have strong opinion on this match!

Nate then hits a low leg sweep on J Glick A, sending him right to the ground. J Glick A grabs his knee in pain. Nate then begins to stomp on Glick’s leg a couple of times, injuring Glick even more. The fans chant “break his leg, break his leg”. J Glick A uses the ropes to slowly get to his feet. Nate goes to charge at J Glick A, but J Glick A ducks down sending Nate over the top rope. Nate crashes to the ground and all of team SIW begin to run to Nate and slap him across the back with their straps, much to the displeasure of the XWA fans. The XWA lumberjacks run to the rescue and a fight breaks down between the SIW and XWA lumberjacks. Nate clotheslines KjKi and then turns around to get a hammer polish from Tyler Lawson. During this J Glick A is in the ring recovering from the blows to his knee. Tyler hits a few forearms to Nate’s face then rolls him into the ring. Another referee comes to break up the fight between the lumberjacks. J Glick A lifts Nate up then hits a quick armdrag on him. Nate gets up quickly. J Glick A then spins and hits a spinning wheel kick to the head of Nate, but this move hurts J Glick A’s knee a bit. J Glick A then waits for Nate to get back up, which Nate does quite quickly. Nate irish whips J Glick A to the corner. Nate then runs at J Glick A and hits a corner spear to him. J Glick A grabs his gut and falls down. Nate then stomps on J Glick A’s head a few times and lifts him back up.

Sandy Ravage: Ohhh no! Looks like ol’ Glick is in trouble!

Nate lifts Glick up and wrings his arm, then puts Glick’s arm behind his back. J Glick A struggles for a bit then rolls across the floor to get out of the arm wringer then J Glick A hits an armdrag to Nate to make Nate fly across the floor. J Glick A then sits Nate up then runs off the ropes and plants a knee right to Nate’s face. J Glick A lifts Nate up again then irish whips him off the ropes. On the rebound J Glick A jumps on his shoulders, going for a hurricanrana, but Nate reverses it by slamming J Glick A’s back to the ground once, lifts him back up then slams J Glick A for a second time then lifts him up again and walks to the ropes. Nate powerbombs Glick outside the ring to where his lumberjacks are. The XWA lumberjacks all hit J Glick A with their straps. J Glick A tries to defend himself but the straps keep coming. J Glick A manages to kick the lumberjacks back so he has enough room to get back inside the ring. Straight away Nate stomps on his back then locks in an ankle lock on Glick’s hurt knee.

Eric Bull: I never thought I’d say this so early on but J Glick A might tap out right here!
Nate irish whips J Glick A into the turnbuckle then runs at him and knees him with a corner shining wizard. J Glick A bends down then Nate quickly gets him in a front headlock and drives his head to the canvas with a snap DDT. Nate waits as Glick slowly gets to his feet. Nate charges at him but gets stopped in his tracks as he gets hit with a spinning calf kick. J Glick A gets up then raises his arm, causing a huge negative reaction. J Glick A lifts Nate up then gets his arm over his shoulder and slams him with a teardrop suplex. Nate holds his head in pain. Nate slowly gets up then J Glick A goes to kick him.

Nate quickly hits Glick with a running swinging neckbreaker. Glick slowly gets back up to his feet. Nate gets Glick in a DDT position.

J Glick A looks in trouble. Sweat pours down his now red face as Glick tries to get to a rope. The XWA fans are cheering at the sight of extreme pain. J Glick A was so close to tapping out, when Kyle Kross moves his hand to the ropes when the referee wasn’t looking. The referee then makes Nate break it up and Nate begins to get angry at the referee. J Glick A then comes unexpectedly from behind and hits a back suplex, making Nate land back first on the ground.

Before he could pin a random fan jumps over the guardrail and runs into the ring. About 5 security guards run into the ring and before the man could touch J Glick A, the security guards handcuff him and send him out of the ring, which is disapproved by the fans. All of the lumberjacks just stand there in shock.

Eric Bull: Well this is live TV people, anything can happen!

Nate has gotten up during the fan running in. The referee signals for the match to continue. An enormous “SIW sucks” chant goes off again. J Glick A seems distracted by all the drama and gets hit straight away by a carbon footprint that sends him off his feet. Nate then taunts for J Glick A to get up. J Glick A gets to his feet then Nate charges at him, going for a gore. J Glick A sidesteps him, making Nate run into the ring post. J Glick A then moves Nate away from the post and gets him in a wristlock then angles himself correctly. J Glick A then throws him out of the ring with a german suplex. Nate lands back first. Killer J and Kyle Kross both double team him. Kross wraps the strap around Nate’s neck and Killer J smacks him in the chest. Nate’s face fills with pain with every shot. Nate then snapnares Kross over his shoulder and quickly shoulder blocks Killer J. Nate then quickly rolls into the ring to get dropkicked straight away by J Glick A. Nate gets up quickly then drop toe holds Glick to the Ground. Nate locks in a Steiner recliner on Glick. J Glick A’s face fills with pain as his hands squirm around. J Glick A tries to drag himself but Nate’s weight is too much. Nate eventually lets go of the hold and waits for Glick to get back up.

Ted Cedar: How can anyone get after such a painful submission move.

Nate raises both arms up making the crowd pop for him like crazy. J Glick A gets up then dropkicks Nate on the back, making Nate’s head land in-between the middle ropes. J Glick A then runs at him and chokes Nate’s head with his knee. Jason Sparks then quickly gets on the apron and whacks J Glick A in the head with his strap, making J Glick A fall back into the ring. Nate looks around then goes to climb the top rope, making the crowd cheer like crazy. Nate then measures Glick and leaps down with the 5 star insanity splash, making perfect contact. Nate goes to pin.

1...2... Glick just about kicks out. The XWA fans boo and throw their bottle caps at Glick into the ring. Nate punches Glick’s head a few times then lifts him up.

Sandy Ravage: What more can this dude do to win?

Nate irish whips Glick off the ropes and on the rebound they both go to crossbody each other at the same time and both make contact. Both of them lie on the floor in great pain. Tyler Lawson manages to drag Nate’s head out of the ring and strap him straight on the forehead. This results in alot of offensive gestures aimed at Tyler. Someone puts up a sign that says “Tyler Lawson- The original Closet gay” J Glick A gets up and waits for Nate to get up. When Nate eventually does, J Glick A springboards off the ropes and hits Nate with a chuck kick. This hurts J Glick A’s leg. J Glick A crawls to pin Nate.

1...2... kickout by Nate in the nick of time. J Glick A then gets up and waits for Nate to get up. McNugget goes to hit Glick with a strap from outside the ring, but J Glick A runs and hits a baseball slide on him sending McNugget to slam against the guard rail. Nate gets up and hits a knife edge chop on Glick causing a chorus of “woos” in the building. Nate lifts Glick up in a powerbomb position, then flips J Glick A backwards and makes him land in face buster position.

Ted Ceader: Oh my god! Go to hell pulled off beautifully.

Nate goes to pin Glick. 1...2... kickout by J Glick A. Nate looks annoyed and goes to pick him up, but J Glick A elbows him in the stomach then hits a belly to belly suplex on him, sending Nate in the middle of the ring. J Glick A then raises Nate’s back up and drives his knee in with a bow and arrow. Nate sweats in pain from his back. He opens and closes his hand to keep his blood circulating. Everyone in the arena is clapping Nate on. Nate swings his head as his face goes red. His teeth are clenched as he tries to break it. Nate stomps his feet on the ground but Glick won’t let go. Nate eventually gets to his feet then kicks Glick who is behind him. Nate gets Glick’s head under his legs then hits him head first with a piledriver. Nate beats his chest as the fans cheer at his comeback.

Eric Bull: Nothing can stop Nate now.

Nate lifts J Glick A up then lifts him to his shoulder, then powerslams him down to the ground. Nate stomps on Glick’s head then chokes him with his foot. The referee breaks it up. Tyler Lawson tries to help J Glick A by getting into the ring but Nate lifts him over his head then throws him outside the ring and onto his other lumberjacks with a gorilla press slam. J Glick A slowly gets up and is surprised at his amazing strength. Nate grabs Glick then scoop slams him to the floor. Nate then slowly walks to the corner and taunts for Glick to get up. Everyone in the crowd is on their feet, awaiting the well know gore. A chant of “gore, gore, gore” takes place as Nate taunts. A single bead of sweat pours down his head and his teeth are clenched. J Glick A slowly gets to his knees and then his legs, clearly out of energy. Nate races towards J Glick A, like a shark seeking blood. Nate digs his shoulder straight into J Glick A’s ribs and spears him, making J Glick A flip backwards from the impact. J Glick A grabs his ribs and is completely out of energy. Nate is just about to pin when a man wearing a black mask comes out from the entrance stage.

Ted Ceader: It’s that damn masked man again!

Nate stares at the masked man who is holding a steel chair as he walks down the ramp. Nate begins to yell at him and tells the lumberjacks to attack him. Suddenly, J Glick A comes from behind and rolls up Nate.1...2...3!

J Glick A won by roll up. He gets up and raises both his arms up in victory. The crowd begin to riot at this cheap victory. Huge amounts of toilet paper and bottle tops are thrown around the arena. Nate Insano looks behind him to see that he’s lost then goes on a rampage. He steps outside the ring and gores the masked man. The crowd chant “masked man sucks, masked man sucks!” Prototype goes to comfort Nate and Nate then gores him too. This causes a very mixed reaction. All of the lumberjacks then go to attack Nate with their straps. Nate tries to block them and eventually the security has to break up the mayhem. Nate is handed a mic as he rolls into the ring. Nate gets up and begins to talk.

Nate Insano: Hey XWA Universe! I have an announcement... I quit team XWA! Yeah that’s right!

The crowd boo him like hell.

Nate Insano: Since day one all these douches have done is argue! No one listens to what I say so you know what? I have better thing to do with my life than this lame match!

The man in the black mask comes in the ring and smacks Nate with a stiff steel chair shot to the skull. Nate nearly falls but the masked man grabs him and gets him under his legs. He lifts Nate up above his shoulders in a crucifix position then he sit out powerbombs Nate to the ground.

Sandy Ravage: It’s the awesome bomb! This can only mean one thing!

The masked man gets up and stands in the middle of the ring. He slowly grabs his mask and takes it off his face to reveal who he is.

Eric Bull: Holy shit it’s Nick Mayhem! What’s he doing here?

Nick Mayhem grabs a microphone and begins to speak. A “this is awesome” chant is heard.

Nick Mayhem: How for those of you who wonder what I’m doing here, I’ll lay the bombshell. You see Nate, we were going to fire you from this team anyway! We never needed you! You see... I am the member that will replace you on team XWA. So SIW, get ready!

A huge “thank you Nick” chant goes off and outside the ring J Glick A and the SIW lumberjacks are being escorted out of the arena so they would not get attacked by the bloodthirsty fans. All of team XWA drop their straps and walk into the ring. They all stand in a line and make an X sign above their heads. A huge “X-Dub-A” chant goes off from literally everyone in the arena. They all shake hands with Nick Mayhem as XWA fades off to a commercial break.

-----Earlier That Day-----

In a private locker room, we see two figures sat down chatting to one another. The one on the left is a small female, with Brown hair tied up in a ponytail and the person on the right is a larger built male, with brown hair....in a...ponytail....anyways, the two figures are sat really chatting away to one another, with even a chirp of laughter happening once a while...

Emma; ...what did I say, huh? I totally told you you would win last week and look what happened?

David; OK...OK...you were right, but that was one helluva' hard match for me...especially what happened at the end...

Emma; Yeah, what was his problem?

David; You know who he was, right?

Emma; ....not a clue!

David looks at Emma almost in "typical" fashion...

David; Well, you remember this past Summer, DC and I had a couple of tag matches back in SIW....one of them being when we won the Tag Titles in TLC?

Emma; Oh yeah, I do actually! I was so nervous when I watched that on TV with your Brother...

David; Yeah, well you know the guy teaming with the one with the huge afro....the one who wares the "cool" hat, as you put it.....JHalc?

Emma; Ohhhh him? Yeah, I know who you mean now and that IS a cool hat!

David; ....come again?

Emma; Oh come on! You KNOW you want to have a hat like that...you should wear one to the ring!

David; Hey, what's wrong with the hats I wear to the ring?!?

Emma; ....eerrr.....you look like you belong in the Village People? That might be just one flaw with them "things" you call hats...

David stares at Emma, giving her a really sarcastic sort of look. "Village People"....was she calling David...ga...never mind...

David; "Village People"? Da heck you talking about?!? My Bro gave me all those...I think they are sexy for the ladies of XWA!

Emma; ...well I am your ONLY lady and I think they look stupid...

David; OK, what about my Cowboy hat? Now, you gotta admit, that looks cool...hell, even DC wears a Ten Gallon White one!

Emma; Yeah, now that looks perfect on you...so why the hell don't you wear it to the ring?

David suddenly looks unbelievably confused at what Emma just said. Then, his expression changes almost like a light bulb just turned on above his head...

David; ....to the ring, aye?

Emma; Yes, then I wouldn't feel so embarrassed...

David; What?!? You have only accompanied me to the ring once...and I wasn't even wearing the darn hat then either!

Emma; ...I was embarrassed even watching it on TV...THAT is how bad it is!

Emma is now the one to show an expression of total sarcasm and disgust too...she hates that damn hat!

David; ...but to the ring you say, aye?

Emma; ...yes....

David; I smell a huge marketing opportunity here!

Emma; What do you mean?

David; Well, we all know we are in the "PG" era of wrestling, and despite this company having some of the most absurd and extreme match stipulations since WCW, the kiddies still tune in to this show. So, why not create a brand NEW "HBK David Michaels" Cow Boy Hat? Just think of the revenue we would get from it!

Emma looks at David in a rather odd manner...

Emma; ...a new Cowboy Hat for the "Kiddies"?

David; Yeah! This idea could revolutionise the XWA merchandise sales. I can see it now...kids will be running around in either their Superman Capes, Batman Masks or the David Michaels Cow Boy Hat...

David's arm is high into the air, almost as if he is pointing to the stars above or looking into the future....rather like JD from Scrubs...Emma soon snaps him out of this rather random and utterly pointless day dream...she jumps up to her feet.

Emma; (She slaps David across the head...) Would you snap out of it!

David; OUCH! What the heck was that for?!?

David puts his arms up near his head to protect himself from another possible attack to his head. He has suddenly gone rather white in the face as well...

Emma; What was it for?!? Tonight, you and DC have your first tag team match in the XWA, which is also for a shot at the tag titles, might I add, and you are sitting here talking about "HBK Hats"?

Emma suddenly looks very stern and has her arms on her hips...

David; (Taking a sulky tone...) ...you started the conversation about hats...

Emma stares at David, angrily...

David; Alright...OK...OK...I'll stop talking about it. You're right; I need to focus on tonight. Man, only a few weeks ago, you didn't care for wrestling except for my matches and even then, it was only because I forced it upon you...now you appear to know more about it than me!

Emma; Well ONE of us has to take a keen interest while you are day dreaming, and since DC isn't with you twenty-four seven, I guess it has to be me!

David; Speaking of DC, where is he? I haven't seen him all day... you haven't heard from him today, have you?

Emma; Nope... say, you think we might've missed a call from him? It's not like him to be late like this...

David; Ooh, good call.

Under the assumption that his cellular phone is in his pants pocket, Michaels reaches into his right pocket and feels around, ultimately finding nothing but small fuzzy blue lint balls that, as is everyone's understanding, is not a communication device. Figuring he's left his phone in his left pocket, Michaels begins to stick his left hand in there while Emma grabs her handbag and begins to search around inside of it. Before Michaels can plunge into his left pocket, however, a thought dawns on him, a thought so incredible that it simply cannot be ignored; he just said a fantastic pun. A pun that Emma needs to be aware of...

David; (chuckling) Hey, didja hear that one, baby? "Good call"... you know, because DC might've called us... didja get it? Huh?

David looks up to his fiancee, taking his attention away from the confines of his blue jeans in order to capture what he thinks will be Emma Michaels busting a lung at such a remarkable, or dare I say, phenomenal pun he unintentionally made. However, her attention is elsewhere, as she is entirely focused on the small screen of a cellular phone, the effervescent bright lighting of the screen lighting her stunningly gorgeous face up even more, a feat previously thought unimaginable, as she punches random buttons with her thumbs, likely checking any calls that she might've missed. She does, however, take the time to let David know that she heard the pun, as she rolls her eyes and smiles very jokingly, knowing full well that her showstopping fiance is watching her to see what her reaction will be. Michaels sticks his hand into his left pocket as he begins to walk towards Emma, a goofy smirk on his face as he sadly accepts the fact that Emma did not react to his epic pun as well as he'd hoped for.

David; Come on, that was gold... hey, did you get a new phone?

Emma; (looks up, inquisitively) Hmm? New phone? Well... sort of... I mean, it's not new, but it's new to me... you know?

David; Oh, alright...

After searching in his left pants pocket for quite a while, Michaels eyebrows furrow and his facial expression turns to concern as he might have lost his cellular phone. Michaels again checks both pockets, only feeling the outside of his jeans rather than wasting time repeating a search of the inside of the pockets, while at the same time, Emma Michaels holds back laughter as she checks the list of missed calls. David takes notice of Emma's restrained laughter, and wonders just what is so dang funny. Maybe that "good call" pun worked on her after all. Or maybe not... David then takes a look at her "new" cell phone, and his eyes widen as he realizes that Emma's new phone happens to be David's phone!

David; Now just what exactly are you doing with my phone, Emma?

Emma; What? This isn't your phone, baby... I think you might've taken a few too many hits to the head...

David; Pssh, I know damn well what my phone looks like, and that is definitely my phone. So, hand it over. Now.

Emma; ...and what are ya gonna do if I don't?

David; Alright, little lady... I didn't want it to come to this, but we can either do this the easy way, or the hard way. The easy way... well, all you'd need to do is admit that you took my phone, hand it over, and we'll be done with it. But the hard way... well, let's just say that I will use force... if necessary...

As both David and Emma try their hardest to conceal their respective smiles, Emma slowly rises off of the couch she was seated on to meet David Michaels eye-to-eye, give or take a few inches due to the height difference. Regardless, Emma gets mere inches away from her fiance's face as she boldly and eagerly informs David that he is not getting his phone back. Then, almost in a whisper, Emma confidently and seductively utters two little words that shake the foundation of this little squabble to its very core...

Emma; ...Suck it.

Definitely unable to conceal their smiles after hearing those two words come out of Emma's mouth, both David and Emma flash their pearly white teeth, as "The Goddess of Perfection" has definitely taken this to a whole new level. "The Heartbreak Kid" will have none of this though, as, after holding back immense laughter, David playfully tackles his fiancee, knocking both of them onto the couch as David begins the most harmless, playful, and lovey-dovey brawl known to professional wrestling... unless you count Ultimate Warrior giving Hulk Hogan head in the ring at WrestleMania as "lovey-dovey." Eww... anyway, the two begin what looks like a tickle war, with David mounting a helpless Emma and repeatedly poking her in the sides, both of them laughing hysterically as they show their vivacious love for each other in front of the millions of XWA Universe members watching the King of Xtreme "Main Event" program. Such playfulness soon turns to pure passion, however, as David begins to snuggle his face into Emma's neck, creating a tense, awkward, and squeamish moment for those male XWA Universe members that would really like to be in David Michaels' place right about now. Luckily, before anything entirely serious began to happen, this romantic scene is interrupted by... the former XWA Cruiser-X Champion, "Mr. Phenomenal," DC Hennig! A slight pop can be heard from the live audience as Hennig quietly opens the door, but that pop soon fades as the crowd gets a good look at one of Mayhem's top competitors, as Hennig looks absolutely horrible here tonight. Hennig obviously hasn't shaved or combed his hair, as a partial thin black "five o'clock shadow" beard can be seen on his intensely stressed face, the lines on his foreheard perfectly complementing the dark circles under his eyes, his matted, tangled, uncombed blonde hair, and the thin red lines criss-crossing in every direction on his possibly sleep-depired, less-than-phenomenal face. On top of that, his attire is far from professional, as, decked out in what is probably a twenty-year-old Aerosmith t-shirt, as well as a gray jacket, ratty blue jeans and a pair of faded black tennis shoes, Hennig fits the profile of a man that could not possibly care less about his upkeep. The saddest part of his ensemble, however, is the black knee brace around his right knee, a sign of an unfortunate flare-up of a previous knee injury, which likely required the brace once more after his hellacious ladder match from Mayhem #5. Not noticing Emma and David fooling around on the couch at first, Hennig turns to his right and takes off his jacket, then throws it at the coat-rack to the right of the door, missing by a country mile as it limply falls to the floor below. Not caring enough to pick the jacket up, Hennig begins to walk forward when he finally notices his tag team partner, messing around with Emma Michaels and not noticing for an instant that Hennig is in the room. Having enough of the awkwardness, Hennig takes a look at the camera, then closes his eyes and shakes his head, before loudly saying...

DC; Ugh... get a room...

Reacting as if he'd just heard a gunshot or the announcement of Jason Sparks' in-ring return, Michaels jumps in a mixture of shock and a sudden realization of the fact that he just lost the entire realm of reality in that little moment he just had with Emma. Michaels doesn't look embarassed or anything - in fact, he looks kind of humorous in light of the situation, knowing that Hennig couldn't have come at a better time. Emma, on the other hand, is calm, cool, and collected, as if such a thing never occured... or it occured, and Hennig hadn't noticed.

David; This is a room, DC...

Upon hearing that, Hennig wrinkles his nose and begins to speak in his most childish, nasal-influenced tone that could more easily be found in an average first-grade classroom rather than among the employees of a professional wrestling industry.

DC; (mocking David) This is a room, DC...

David; You alright man? You look horrible...

DC; Oh thanks, thanks... yeah, I love hearing how horrible I look... say, maybe I should wear an "HBK David Michaels" cowboy hat, complete the image of an uncaring hobo...

The faint sound of laughter from the live audience can be heard upon close examination of the television sets of those watching at home. The XWA Universe aren't the only ones laughing, however, as David and Emma begin to laugh as well, looking at each other at the exact same time as they come to the realization that Hennig just extended on the cowboy hat jokes from earlier. Hennig, obviously oblivious of the conversation from earlier, looks like he wouldn't even care about it if he did know about the cowboy hat conversation... he honestly looks like he couldn't care less about anything at the moment. David's jovial mood soon turns to one of concern, however, once he notices his partner's knee brace. Such a thing will definitely not be a good factor in their huge upcoming tag team contest tonight, and David knows it.

David; Whoa, dude, is your knee alright, what happened, when did you --

DC; Relax, relax... I'm only wearing it for precautionary reasons, so I don't mess it up any more before the pay-per-view... I just tweaked it a little in the ladder match on Mayhem... damn match didn't do me any favors...

David; Ahh come on man, don't beat yourself up over it... it was just one match...

DC; Yeah, well that one match cost me my one Cruiser-X Championship, my one undefeated streak, my one surge of momentum heading into King of Xtreme, and the full use of one of my knees... so you'll have to excuse me for being a little... gahh, I can't even think of the word for it. Whatever...

David; Well... I'm sorry dude, but hey, you need to clean yourself up, we have a HUGE match tonight. Have you heard?

DC; Nope. What match will I be losing before King of Xtreme?

David; Shut up... anyway, we're going up against Evolution 2.0 and - get this - Death Sentence, for number one contendership to the tag team titles! Can you believe it? The debut of the Phenomenal Showstoppa's here in the Xtreme Wrestling Association... I have a feeling we're gonna take the tag team division by storm, my man!

David's wide grin complements the first look of genuine happiness and interest shown on Hennig's otherwise pain-stricken face, as the news of his first tag team match with David Michaels in the XWA is finally coming to fruition here tonight. The live audience is obviously pleased with David's statement that the Phenomenal Showstoppa's will be taking the tag team division by storm. Hennig is intruiged by such a statement... and intends to make it known.

DC; Taking the tag team division by storm... sounds great, man, it really does. Oh hey, that reminds me, I got your message a couple of days ago about our big announcme --

David; Oh! Whoa, uhh...

David nervously takes a quick glance at the camera, while the members of the XWA Universe watching the King of Xtreme "Main Event" show live are now glued to their sets, recognizing that Hennig has apparently spilt the beans on something huge that the duo must've been planning for tonight. By the sound of David's tone as he quickly diverted attention away from the forthcoming announcement, it must be something big... regardless, David isn't about to let this announcement become revelaed here and there, and makes sure of it.

David; Uhhh... not, not now, DC... maybe later on in the show... maybe...

DC; David, David, David... always gotta stop the show... (laughs)

David; Phenomenally, of course.

David and DC laugh at the last two remarks, sitting up just to bump fists, the ultimate sign of friendship between the two possible number one contenders to the XWA Tag Team Championships. However, after the initial jovial attitude of the conversation dies down, Hennig rubs his injured knee, wincing in pain but desperately trying to hide it from David and Emma as he strokes his knee lovingly, as if a gentle touch will make it all better before the tag team match. David and Emma both look at DC with the same look of concern, until David finally speaks up.

David; Seriously though, dude, are you alright?

DC; I already told you, I'm fine. I'll just ice it a bit before the match... trust me, we'll be the new Tag Team Title contenders before the night's over, regardless of whatever the hell is going down in my knee.

David; So you think you'll be alright taking some physical damage in the match? You know Death Sentence is gonna be hungrier than ever... this is technically our rubber match with those two. Then there's Evolution 2.0, they obviously have something to prove. It's not gonna be easy out there, man. Hope you're up for some physical damage...

DC; I can handle physical damage, don't worry...

David; What about emotional damage?

DC; Yeah, I can handle... wait... wait, what? Why would I suffer emotional damage?

David; Well I hate to break it to you, but you look like you should be sitting outside on the streets somewhere in half of a cardboard box, asking people that walk by for spare change... come to think of it, you look like you'd use that spare change to buy some crack. I mean, you look so --

DC; Okay, okay, I get it, I look like a homeless drug addict, blah blah blah... what am I supposed to do about it? I'll take a quick shower and change into my ring gear, but it'll take a miracle to make it look like I've slept peacefully for the last week or so.

David; Yeah...

David turns away from his apparently homeless-looking tag team partner, his eyebrows furrowed as he tries to think of a solution for DC's "outward appearance" problem. As he turns away, he takes notice of his gorgeous fiancee, then formulates an idea that may just save "Mr. Phenomenal" from looking like utter crap.

David; Emma, you're a movie star, right?!

Emma; ...did you seriously just ask me if I'm a movie star? Come on, David...

David; (laughing) Alright, alright... facepalm moment of the year right there... but still, I'm sure you have someone that does your hair and makeup and all that, right?

Emma; Yeah, her name is Nicole Brooks, she --

DC; Nicole Brooks?

Emma; Uhhh... yeah... why?

DC; Oh no, I just... well, I knew a Nicole Brooks... she was a friend of mine from high school and all... that's all...

Emma; Oh... well anyway, she lives pretty close to Sunderland, if you'd like me to call and see if she could get here in time to make DC look presentable...

David; Yes, that'd be perfect!

David jumps off the couch in pure excitement, clearly showing how disgusted and embarassed he would've been to be seen with Hennig in the condition Hennig's appearance is in. Emma again digs into her handbag to look for her (or David's?) cellular phone, but she doesn't get much time to search, as David gives her a huge hug that might be considered a submission maneuver in an actual match, had there not been so much love behind it this time. Emma smiles and hugs him back, then begins to pry herself away from him as she searches for her phone, knowing that Nicole Brooks won't have much time to get into the arena and clean DC up a bit. With Michaels keeping his hug locked in from behind, Emma finds her phone, and is about to punch some numbers when Michaels lets go and snatches the phone out of her hands, an action that will almost guarantee another silly lover's quarrel between the two.

David; Really? You have to use my phone for this?

Emma; (sighs) Alright, first of all, we don't have time to get into this. Second, IT'S MY PHONE!

David; Just give it up, baby, I know this is my phone.

Emma; I'm telling you David, I don't have your phone. I got that one a few weeks back, I know what my phone looks like... it's my phone.

David; You are so stubborn... I tell you what, if you can prove to me that this isn't my phone, I'll give it back to you.

As soon as David challenges Emma to prove to him that it's not his phone, Emma begins to contemplate how she can officially prove that the phone belongs to her. However, before she can get into any serious thought, an odd song begins to play in the room from an unknown source, the music being played loud enough for anyone in the room to hear. David and Emma look every which way trying to find the source of the music, and as it continues to play, Michaels looks more concerned. He stares down at the cellular phone in his hands, knowing that the music isn't coming from the phone he's holding... so where could it be coming from? The sound gets louder and louder to David, and as he turns around to look at DC sitting on the couch, he finds his phenomenal tag team partner standing up behind him, a smug grin on his face as he holds a cell phone up beside his face. The cell phone proves to be the source of the odd music, which, upon close examination, can be deciphered as the Alvin and the Chipmunk's version of David Michaels' theme, Sexy Boy. David breathes a deep, deep sigh, as Hennig begins to speak.

DC; Yeah... I have your phone...

David looks at DC Hennig intently, his eyes portraying an epic tale of betrayal as he takes a look at his cell phone, his embarassing ringtone not stopping as Hennig and Emma both sport some pretty big grins. Speaking of Emma, David turns around to meet his fiancee, and just as his eyes meet hers, she extends her right hand outward, then puts her left hand on her hip, silently demanding her phone back. David begrudgingly hands the phone over to Emma, then turns back to DC, who is now beginning to dance a little dance to the theme, swaying back and forth as he moves his lips to match the lyrics of the song. David angrily snatches the phone out of DC's hands as DC grins widely once more... and soon enough, David gives in to temptation, and begins to dance as well, with both Phenomenal Showstoppa's looking like total dumbasses as they rock out to the ringtone version of an Alvin and the Chipmunks song. Emma makes the call to Nicole Brooks as the camera soon fades into darkness, and a commercial break takes the King of Xtreme "Main Event" show off the air for the time being.









-----Later That Night-----

Following another incredible mid-card bout to get the live Sunderland, Englad, audience pumped up leading up to tonight's main event, as well as the upcoming XWA King of Xtreme PPV, the camera captures the winner of the contest walking up the ramp victoriously, the emotions of the live audience pouring out around him as he looks on at his fallen opponent in the ring. Soon afterwards, the live feed cuts from inside the ring to an area backstage, where Mayhem interviewer Jeff Chamber is standing by, a microphone in his hand as he faces the camera with a completely cheesy smile on his face. The setting is your typical interview setup, where, located in a normally abysmally gray hallway, the XWA production team has set up a bit of a formal interview space, where a large television monitor with the "Main Event" logo on it can clearly be seen behind Jeff Chamber, in front of a series of red curtains and drapery that matches the black carpeting on the floor. The fans pay attention to the titantron, despite their immense hatred for that dorky Jeff Chamber, as an interview is bound to happen soon.

Chamber; Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time, Evan Flare and JHalc... Death Sentence.

As soon as Chamber states the name of one of the most hated and arrogant tag teams in the history of the Xtreme Wrestling Association, the crowd goes in an sbolute frenzy of jeers and boo's, not enjoying the fact that they'll more than likely have to hear Death Sentence ramble on and on about how they are the greatest, how they'll win their match tonight, how they'll defeat their opponents at King of Xtreme, how they'll be the future of the business, blah blah blah... regardless, the fans refuse to avert their attention once the former Cruiser-X Champion Evan Flare and his tag team partner JHalc step into the scene, walking forward in unison until they are both in the camera shot, with the aforementioned television monitor being the only thing between the interviewer and interviewees. After giving Death Sentence enough hate to be satisfied, a hushed silence falls over the crowd as, despite what is sure to be a typical heel promo, they are nonetheless interested in what Evan Flare and JHalc have to say.

Chamber; Alright, my first question will be directed to you, Evan. Do you have confidence that Team SIW will defeat Team XWA at King of Xtreme?

Flare; Team SIW doesn't stand a chance against Team XWA... without me. Now, we do have some talented individuals in the match... you've got Killer J, a former SIW Hardcore Champion... J Glick A, the first SIW World Television Champion... Tyler Lawson, the only Impact Division Champion the company ever had... Kyle Kross, a former World Television Champion himself... so yeah, Team SIW has some talent on their side. But without my leadership, they'd be completely doomed. So to answer your question... yes and no. No, Team SIW will not defeat Team XWA. Yes... Evan Flare's Team SIW will.

Chamber; Alright... JHalc, this next question is for you. You've got a 1/6 chance of winning the Million Dollar Chamber at King of Xtreme, but if you do, you will be guaranteed a match for any championship you want at any time you choose to cash it in. Do you have any thoughts or comments on the match, or the concept of the Million Dollar Title itself?

JHalc; What is all of this about if I win the Chamber? I've proven time and time again that I am the single most talented, most charismatic... the single greatest superstar in XWA history. You saw my win over Alex Firecracker at Vendetta #18... and he's in the Chamber! Picture this... Alex and I enter the Chamber last as the two most fresh men in the match. Three of the other four have been eliminated, and the one guy left is completely exhausted. Alex or I eliminate him, and then what? A total repeat of my last Vendetta match. It's destined to happen... I will be the next Million Dollar Champion, and I will go on to win the XWA World Heavyweight Championship. It's as simple as that.

Chamber; Strong words... well, my final question is to both of you, or whoever wants to answer it, I suppose.

The Mayhem interviewer then begins a fit of laughter after apparently making a joke... Flare and JHalc look at each other with uncertainty, probably wondering how someone could actually be dumb enough to laugh at something that vague. Chamber realizes that he is the only one laughing in the entire United Kingdom, and promptly stops his laughter, then resumes the interview.

Chamber; Uhh, yes, well, uhh... anyway, tonight, Death Sentence will take on Evolution 2.0 and the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, with number one contendership to the XWA Tag Team Championships on the line. What are your thoughts going into this match?

JHalc; This match is insanely important to us, for various reasons.

Flare; Once we defeat both teams tonight, we'll solidify our absolute dominance in the tag team division. Like JHalc said earlier, he's beaten Alex Firecracker in singles competition... I doubt we'd have any trouble taking either of them in tag competition. And if NWD were to win the titles tonight, well... Caleb Spires has been on a major losing streak as of late, correct? See, there's always a weak link in every team... except for Death Sentence.

JHalc; Couldn't have said it better myself. Now, besides that, this match happens to be a major milestone in our careers... you see, tonight marks the official "rubber match" between ourselves and the Phenomenal Showstoppa's. I think everyone knows about our epic rivalry in SIW... we took a win over them, they took a win over us... of course, the company folded before a third match could be held. But tonight... tonight will be the deciding factor in just who exactly is the best tag team, and you better believe we'll be the ones with that label, especially after tonight.

Chamber; Well that's all well and said, but you also have to account for the added equation of Evolution 2.0...

Flare; That's not important to us in the slightest, Chamber. JHalc's been evaluating them in recent weeks, he knows what damage they can do. But they will be absolutely no competition to us tonight, because... wait, JHalc, you wanna tell the people?

JHalc; I do... but not now, not here... you see, we have a bit of a... a proposition for the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, one that will be so ground-breaking, so... phenomenal... let's just say that it'll keep people talking for quite a while. But not here... later on tonight...

Chamber; Come on, surely you can give us a little hint of --

JHalc; No no no, no hints... this isn't some sort of guessing game, junior. This is business... simply business...

Rather than formally thanking Jeff Chamber for the opportunity to be on camera and announce to the XWA Universe their intentions in upcoming moments, weeks, and years in the Xtreme Wrestling Association, JHalc and Evan Flare are both in conjunction when they decide to end this interview on their own terms, casually walking away from Jeff Chamber right before he was about to ask another question, giving him the perverbial cold shoulder that he's probably used to in the dating community. Chamber looks a bit disappointed, having been snubbed and all, but his face soon becomes enlightened with delight for reasons unknown to the XWA Universe. Soon enough, however, the fans get a taste of what made Chamber so happy, as David Michaels and DC Hennig, who is now showered and in his ring gear, although he is wearing his trademark cowboy hat to cover what is probably a mattered mess of hair, make their own entrance into the interview area by... snubbing Jeff Chamber. As the Phenomenal Showstoppa's walk past the Mayhem interviewer as if he were just a crack in the wall, Jeff Chamber decides that he's had just enough of this disrespect, and rushes to David and DC before they can get any farther. Chamber stops them in their tracks, much to the chagrin of David Michaels and DC Hennig, and stands his ground as he puts the mic up to his face again.

Chamber; Guys! We have a few minutes left in this segment, is it alright if I ask you a few questions before we go to commercial break?!

Hennig and Michaels do take the time to acknowledge the existence of the Mayhem interviewer, turning around and meeting his inquisitive, desperate stare with one of disbelief and utter nonchalance. Rather than satisfying him with an answer, though, the Phenomenal Showstoppa's work in collaboration as they grab both of Jeff Chamber's forearms, pick him up off the ground, turn him around towards the other way, and gently set him down, then continue their descent towards wherever they're going, amidst the faint sound of laughter coming from the live audience. Rather than sticking around with Jeff Chambers, the cameraman decides to hang around the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, following them as they continue to walk down the hallway.

DC; Gawd I hate that Jeff Chamber... but hey, at least they fired Digg Johnson's ass...

David; Yeah... I have no clue who those people are... anyway, you look fine after you cleaned up a bit... your face still sucks though...

DC; Oh, so now my face sucks? You know what, David... you suck.

David; Shew, between you and Emma, I've really been putting my foot in my mouth a lot lately...

DC; ...guess you know how your opponents feel now, eh? (laughs)

David; Ha! Good one... but yeah, Emma went to pick Nicole up a few kilometers away from the arena, and she says to meet us in the south wing of the building.

DC; Dude, we're going to the south wing right now... why did you just repeat that?

David; Well, ya never know...

David takes a quick glance at the camera in classic "DxWo breaks kayfabe" fashion, prompting a loud response from the crowd, with some applauding the silly act, and others laughing at the stupidity of it.

DC; So what's going down, this chick gonna give me a total makeover... reconstructive face surgery to make it suck less... what?

David; I'd say she has some sort of eyedrops to get the red lines to cease and desist... she'll probably use some foundation or blush or something to get the bags out of your eyes... and you'll probably need to soak your hair for quite a while before you can comb it and all that.

DC; I gotta say, man, you know way too much about make-up. (laughs)

David; I'm engaged to a movie star... so yeah, I do know a little bit about cosmetics...

Michaels and Hennig continue to laugh, their jovial mood holding true until they reach a door at the end of a hallway. Anyone that has the time or patience to scrutinize the surroundings can spot a plaque that reads "South Wing" on the far wall, so they are no doubt int he right location, the area where DC Hennig's face will hopefully be salvaged, his insomnia erased behind a mask of cosmetics that are clearly not designed for men that are contractually obligated to hurt other men. Regardless, Hennig looks a bit tentative as he approaches the door, but with David's stern look in front of him, Hennig sadly opens the door to meet his fate. However, something strange is going on here. After DC walks into the door, David suddenly gets a huge grin on his face... the camera follows both men into the room, and subsequently stops after rounding a corner, where DC Hennig is suddenly stopped in his tracks as well. Standing directly in front os him is Emma Michaels (who is also sporting a huge grin) and, more importantly, beside her, is Nicole Brooks, the professional image consultant of Emma for her films. As she pulls random cosmetics ad beautification supplies out of a black bag, her gorgeous blonde hair swaying back and forth as she does, completely oblivious to the arrival of either Phenomenal Showstoppa. Emma nudges her with her elbow, and points in their direction, and given that Nicole naturally looks in the direction of the camera, her face can clearly be indentified, a face so breath-taking, so indescribable, that a link would be a much easier description tool. Nicole's eyes soon light up, as if she's just discovered a long lost friend...

Nicole; DC...?

DC; Nicole... NICOLE!

Nicole; DC!

As chance would have it, it turns out that Emma Michaels' image consultant, Nicole Brooks, happens to be the very same Nicole Brooks that Hennig mentioned earlier, the Nicole Brooks that Hennig knew in high school. Nicole and DC immediately embrace each other, running towards and another and sharing a... phenomenal hug. Such a heart-warming moment is met with genuine interest from the crowd... after seeing Hennig look so depressed in the earlier backstage segment, what with the Cruiser-X Title loss, the possible knee injury... it's nice to see him get a little pick-me-up. Emma Michaels tip-toes past Hennig and Brooks, meeting up with her own fiance, then exitting the room along with her heart-breaking boy toy. The two exit the room and shut the door behind them, just as anyone listening closely enough can hear DC say the words "We have so much catching up to do..."

Emma; This is definitely one of your better ideas.

David; Ha... well, he needed it. Poor guy... I caught him looking in one of his old high school yearbooks a few days ago. I think he and Nicole may have had a thing back then... plus, I need him perked up for our big announcement tonight.

Emma; Well I doubt he'll be near as surly now!

David; (sighs) ...how does it feel being engaged to a genius?

Emma; Hmmm... I'll let you know if we break up.

David laughs at Emma's witty reply, then puts his arm around her as they both walk off, possibly going off to make some preparations for whatever big announcement the Phenomenal Showstoppa's have in store for the XWA Universe in the coming moments of the show. With nowhere else to go, the cameraman decides to go with a dramatic close up of the door where Hennig and Nicole Brooks are catching up, as the scene fades away into commercial break.









-----Pre-Match Interview-----

After the ???? match, the camera shot goes backstage to Funaki, who has a couple of special guests! We see Funaki stood there in front of the camera, with his finger pressed against his ear. He appears to not actually realise that he is on the air and is almost waiting for some conformation of this fact. The director starts to scream into his earpiece, telling him he is live to the world, but Funaki merely bends his head down away from the camera and starts to say "WAT?!? WAT?!?! ME NO DEAR U!!!". This so called "interview" is now thirty seconds in and despite the fact that the audience in the arena think this clear blooper is hilarious, the camera man does not. Suddenly Funaki yells and looks up in pain...the camera man had just kicked him in the shin! Funakis looks down the camera lense in utter amazement and brings his mic up to this mouth...

Funaki; ARGH!!! Eerr.....ME! NUMBER WON...ANNOUNCA!!!

The crowd in the arena howl with laughter at Funaki's clear idiocy...you can just sense the director facepalming himself to hell!

Funaki; Wit me rat dis grime...De Fee..Feee....ominal....Doh...flockers!!!!

The crowd applaud, but how no clue as to who Fuanki is about to interview...then, two familiar figures walk into shot. The arena goes into a rapture of screams and applause, as they definitely know who is about to be interviewed now; The Phenomenal ShowStoppas! DC Hennig (without bags under his eyes, red lines in his eyes, or a mattered bucnh of hair, mind you) is the first man to walk in and stands nearest to Funaki, with David Michaels following right behind him. The pair of athletes looks down the camera smiling, with David giving everyone a little wave....

Funaki; Delcum! My dirst questdon, is for PC Fleming...

DC Hennig; ....that's, DC Hennig...

Funaki; Dats wat I dead....two my questdon....u av beecum a dig part of Dayhem, dut dis iz da hirst time deeming ere in DexWA. Dan u dandle it?

DC Hennig looks at David stood beside him, looking for help as to what the heck Funaki just said...David shakes his head slightly, crosses his arms and looks in the other direction. DC is on his own with this one...

DC; Bonjourno....apparently....but, eerrr....to answer that "so called" question, yes I have become one of the foundations of Mayhem since I rejoined XWA, helping it became the premier brand in the comp....

David Michaels; ....second brand in the the company, DC....second...

DC turns round to face David and appears to take exception to the rude interruption from his tag team comrade...

DC; No...I said premier brand.

David; OK DC (winks at him)...Mayhem is the "premier" brand in the XWA...

DC; Would you shut up already? You're missing the whole damn point...

David; Blah....

DC turns back round, almost looking for some sense...then he realises he is looking at Funaki, who can't even say or spell the word "sense", let alone speak any...

DC; ...as I was saying, I have become a foundation of THE PREMIER BRAND, Mayhem, and helped establish it to what it is today and now I find myself in the main event of King of Xtreme for the XWA Championship, which shows why I am truly...Phenomenal. But to answer your question, as such, yes I...excuse me...WE can handle teaming up together for the first time in XWA. We may not have teamed up since this past August, but when we did, boy oh BOY did we put on a show...

David; Correction...we Phenomenally STOPPED the Show...

DC; ...nice one man!

David; Thanks!

DC and David looks at another, as they are finally on the same page in this interview. They even celebrate with a high five! David then pulls the mic towards himself...

David; You see, a lot of people think we are going to be pushovers here in XWA. "Oh look! It is those SIW guys! They won't achieve anything here!". Well look what has happened so far; DC Hennig won the Cruiser-X Championship within three matches of being in the company...he is in the main event at King of Xtreme for the XWA Title...I won my first match back here after a legit knee injury...I am in the Million Dollar Chamber match...we will BOTH me headlining XtremeMania with the respective Brands World Titles...and tonight, we lay down the foundations for the biggest bomb shell in XWA's history. Tell em' DC...

David then slaps DC on the chest...the pair are really starting to get fired up now, and have even stopped goofing around...

DC; Ya see, tonight, not only do we become the number one contenders for the XWA Tag Team Championships, but we revolutionise the industry as we all know it. Over the past year and a half this company has been around, it has lacked a certain "spark"...

David; ...and we ain't talking about that Jason dude either...

DC; ...it has missed that extra "zing"...it has missed that "X-Factor", so to speak. Ya see, it has become stale and worn out. The same people have been on top of this company since the early going. Times are indeed changing here in XWA, with the New Age Icons being on top of the tag division, but even then half of that team was the General Manager in the early days...but still everyone sees one entity...one force as "The Men" of XWA...they are, the New World Dominance...NWD. Now, the irony in that name is "New". That is one thing that this company hasn't had a lot of in it's history. What this company needs is a NEW type of Order...a NEW type of Dominance here in XWA...a Re-degeneration...What this company needs is....

David; The D-Generation X World Order!

A sudden roar from inside the arena is heard! The D-Generation X World Order? The words "The DxWo" is heard been whispered throughout the crowd. DC and David suddenly smile down the camera...

David; Oh yeah, that's right...you heard us! You have all heard the rumours. You all asked the questions "when will the DxWo return?"..."Will they ever return?". Well guess what? Tonight, it happens!

DC; You see, we are not just "The Phenomenal ShowStoppas", we are the very foundation of this single biggest, rebellious and most shocking group in the history of wrestling. So as of right now, the DxWo is back in business...the band is back together...but of of right now, it will be "The Originals"...the foundation of the DxWo..."Mr. Phenomenal" DC Hennig and "The Heart Break Kid" David Michaels...and together, we are not just "The Phenomenal ShowStoppas"....we are not just the NEXT generation of this company...we are, THE Degeneration of this company...we are...THE D-Generation X World Order...so, after tonight there will be a changing of the guard; after we stop the second coming of Evolution and we deliver Death Sentence their own name sake, the tag team champions are next....whom ever they may be...NWD...NAI...one thing is for sure, you guys may claim to be the new entities of this company, but we really are the next generation. So, be on your guard, as the NEW and IMPROVED DxWo makes it's mark....tonight!

The crowd are in total ore of what DC Hennig is stating here and a "DxWo!" chant breaks out around the arena...

David; ...and if you're not down with that, we got two words for ya....

The crowd all shout "SUCK IT!!!" in tandem...David then looks down the camera with the most cockiest smile you can imagine...

David; HAHA!

David and DC walk off, with DC's arm over his partner's shoulder and DC gives the camera a little wink...times are changing in the Xtreme Wrestling Association!











-----In-Ring Segment-----

As the night rolls on and the crowd anticipate a night of, what is sure to be, fantastic Tag Team action with, not only the #1 contendership of the Tag Team Title, but also the XWA Tag Team Titles being on the line as well AND the announcement that the Phenomenal ShowStoppas are now the DxWo as "The Originals", we see the ring crew start to set up the ring. The crowd isn't exactly sure of what is happening. Was a Cage Match booked last minute? Maybe there is a fault with the ring? Either way, once the show comes back from Commercial break, the show has the Main Event theme playing in the aren and the shot cuts to the announce team...

Ted Cedar; Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and boy oh boy what a show we still have for you tonight! Next up we ha....

Eric Bull; What's going on in the ring, Cedar?

Cedar; What?

Cedar looks in to the ring, trying to looked shocked despite the fact the ring crew have been in front of him for the past four minutes...Cedar then goes into "Mike Tenay" mode...

Cedar; Ladies and Gentlemen, I am just getting word that what you are seeing getting set up in the ring is for XWA's brand new talk show!

Bull; Talk show? For who?

Cedar; Well, I don't know yet. Guess we will have to wait and see.....and I am being told that this will happen....right now! Lets take you to ringside....

The arena plunges into darkness and the crowd start to wonder who is coming out. Then, familiar music blasts into the arena, which tells the story...



Instantly the fans leap to their feet. The talk show is for none other than "The Heart Break Kid", David Michaels! As the sound of David's theme blasts through the arena speakers, the man of the moment dances into the arena himself...but he is not alone! No, it is not her unbelievably attractive fiancée, Emma, but none other than his...Phenomenal Tag Team partner, DC Hennig strutting behind him! The crowd start to chant "DxWo!!! DxWo!!! DxWo!!!", but are a little upset that the famous DxWo music isn't being played! Never the less, the pair are welcomed into the arena with a brilliant reaction! Michaels does his classic HBK pose at the top of the ramp, while DC cooly raises his arms into the air behind him. Michaels gets back up to a vertical base, while DC lowers his arms and the pair high five each other and make their way down to the ring. They slap hands with the fans and each slide into the ring, to another hugs set of applause.

In the ring, we see a large Flat Screen TV hanging from the arena ceiling, a red leather sofa, a large heart shaped bed (which is all red as well) and a large hanging neon sign reading "The Phenomenal Heartbreak Hotel"...the fans start to wonder what the hell is about to happen; two men in the ring, often joking about "cocks" and a rather large bed? Good job this isn't PG...Michaels grabs a couple mics from Lilian and then hands one to DC. Let the goofiness begin...

David Michaels; Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, I would like to welcome you to the Premier Edition, of the "Phenomenal Heartbreak Hotel", which is hosted by your friends of the NEW D-Generation X World Order...DC Hennig and David Michaels! However, before we crack on with this, no doubt, epic debut show, my good friend has something to say to you all....

David then points over his head, in classic "nWo" style, towards DC who is stood in front of the sofa, looking rather smooth...DC tells the crowd to "shhh" by putting his index left index finger over his mouth. The crowd, eventually, goes silent....could he be....surely not!

DC Hennig; ..............................Hey yo!

Instantly, the crowd go nuts! This famous line was used widely during the SIW days and they love it!

DC; Say ello'.....to the Phenomenal guy!

At this point, David jumps and down with excitement...he knew the line was coming, but even he marked out for it! Needless to say, so did the fans...

DC; Well, what do we have here (looks at David)? The Phenomenal ShowStoppas back together on the same show and in the very same ring. Who'd of funked it aye?

David; That's right! It has certainly been a while DC and tonight, we get our first tag team match since last September!

DC; (DC suddenly reacts as though a bomb went off) WHAT?!?! Has it been THAT long?

David; Indeed it has, my DxWo comrade...but if you thought that was unbelievable, then you need to hear this...

DC; What?!?

David; Did you know that the XWA Universe has NEVER seen The Phenomenal ShowStoppas team up???

DC's face once again turns into an extremely shocked reaction, but almost sarcastic too...

DC; NOOOOOOOOOOO?!?

David; (Pointing at DC) IT ISSSSSSSSSSS!

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter. The majority of them have never seen the pair together live on the mic and so far, they are loving it...

David; But enough of the chit chat. Lets get done to some "bidness"! DC, if you would please plonk your...Phenomenal Ass on the sofa, in order to get comfortable...

DC; With...Phenomenal pleasure!

DC accepts David's "invitation" to sit down on the Red sofa. DC sinks right into that bad boy and makes himself extremely comfortable. David then jumps onto the big heart shaped bed and lays down on it via his side. The female demographic in the arena start to scream for "The Sexy Boy"...

David; So, Ladies and Gen....

David is rudely interrupted by DC....

DC; Hold the damn phone here!

David; What now, dammit?

DC; Where in the blue HELL is the beer?

David; What...Oh right!

David then whips out his p.....plastic remote from his pocket, aims to the arm rest of the sofa and presses pretty much every button on the thing! Suddenly, after about four seconds of nothing happening, the Red Sofa DC is sitting on bursts into life! The back of the sofa starts moving backwards and forwards....the leg rest bounces in and out rapidly...the arm of the sofa opens up like a machine gun firing...and the whole sofa starts to hop up and down like a "pimped" up car! DC looks pretty uncomfortable, but after a while, he starts to like it! The massage setting turns on too and DC's eyes start to roll into the back of his head! The audience are almost wetting themselves in laughter! The image of this bleach blonde male, in his Aqua singlet and T-Shirt bouncing up and down is just too much to bear...DC then spots a can of beer in the open arm rest. He picks it up...eventually...cracks it open, beer flies everywhere and DC is now right at home! DC continues to bounce up and down, as he raises his can into the air and states...

DC; They see me rollin'!

Once again, the live audience burst into laughter...but even David can't help himself from laughing too! Eventually, the idiotic scene comes to an end and DC's sofa finally stops going all "G" on him...

David; Anyways....as I was saying, THIS is the "Phenomenal Heartbreak Hotel", where anything can and WILL happen! But we are not just here to goof around...ohhhhhh no no no no no NO! DC and I are out here to show you all that not only are we the greatest tag team in wrestling history, BUT we are the single....well, double...meh....greatest wrestling interviewers EVER! Tell em' DC....

DC; That's right David and tonight we deliver the interview of ALL interviews. Now, as you all know, later on tonight we will be in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match for the Number One Contendership of the XWA Tag Team Titles, so what better way than to interview our opponents in that match, huh?

The crowd suddenly shout! Are the Phenomenal ShowStoppas going to interview...Death Sentence?!?

DC; However, since Death Sentence basically flat out refused to come out here for this segment...and well, we just plain don't get along with either of them anyway, we shall interview the...."future"? Da hell? Why does it say that on this card? We're the future of XWA dammit!

David looks at DC a tad confused...

David; Errr....DC? You're not reading off of a card man....

DC; ....I was metaphorically speaking, dumbass...

David; Well you can metaphorically continue already!

DC; ...as I was saying....the future of this company...please welcome to the Hotel...."The Game" HHH619...."The Greatness" Protoype....they are....Evolution...Two...Point....Zerooooooo!!!!

DC stands up as he introduces them and points over his head to the entrance ramp. The arena suddenly plunges into darkness...



As the theme kicks in, DC and David both stand up once again. The go and lean on the top rope facing the entrance ramp and look rather puzzled...

Then, HHH619 and Prototype can both be seen underneath the titantron. The crowd give them a huge welcome! Both are looking very casual, with HHH619 wearing his brand new Black "The Game" T-Shirt (readily available at store nationwide), Blue jeans, trainers and shades, with bottle of water in hand. Prototype is also looking very casual, wearing the latest "Greatness" T-Shirt (which is also available in stores nationwide), Blue Jeans and trainers. The pair stand at the top of the ramp, looking confident in themselves. HHH619 takes a massive gulp of water, launches his arms into the air and blasts the water everywhere, while Prototype puts his out to either side in the centre of the stage and soaks in the applause from the crowd. Two of the brightest young stars in XWA today and boy do they know it!

The pair start to walk down the ramp, looking very smooth, but as they get half way down the ramp, DC suddenly starts to talk...

DC; Alright, hold on, hold on....cut the music...cut the music...

The music eventually cuts off, while HHH619 and Prototype stop in mid motion half way down the ramp...DC looks at David in disgust and shakes his head. He then turns back to the pair on the ramp...

DC; ....what the hell was that?

HHH619 and Prototype shrug their shoulders and are looking pretty POed that they have been interrupted...

DC; Do you know what David?

David; What do I know, DC?

DC; If I not mistaken, I believe that theme we all just heard was a mix of an "Evolution" theme with....OUR theme!

DC and David then a serious of randomly looking towards one another simultaneously, mouths wide open, exaggerated expressions and hair flying everywhere! They pair do this for roughly thirty seconds before David suddenly stops, points towards Evolution 2.0 and shouts...

David; IT ISSSSSSSSSS!

Once more, the crowd roar with laughter...it is easy to see that the DxWo really is back in full swing with all this!

DC; As my shocked partner just confirmed, that ISSSSS our theme. Now, the last time I checked, you weren't in the DxWo or ever were...you can't just go stealing our music. I mean, at least give us royalties or something?

HHH619 and Prototype just stare at DC and David, while thinking "are these two morons serious?". The pair then head round the other side of the ring and grade two mics. DC and David start chatting to each other, probably discussing the amount of "royalties" they might actually receive from this...HHH619 and Prototype step into the ring. HHH619 takes another drink of water from his bottle and chucks it into the crowd. He pulls his shades onto the top of his eyes, while Prototype stands beside him...

David; Please, gentleman, take a seat on the luxury sofa. It has hydraulics! Oh and feel free to have a beer, non alcoholic of course!

After stating the beer was non alcoholic, David sticks both thumbs up and gives the cheesiest grin known to man. HHH619 and Prototype look at him actually beginning to wonder if he is high....even DC looks a little worried. Never the less, HHH619 and Prototype take a seat on the sofa. DC calls for a steal chair, so he can sit down, while David leaps back onto the bed...

DC; So, gentlemen, tonight, along with Death Sentence, we meet in the ring in a Triple Threat match and to sweeten the deal, the winner gets a shot at the XWA Tag Team Championships. What the world wants to know right now is....are you ready?

HHH619; Well...

DC; NOOOOOO! I SAID....ARE....YOU....READYYYYYYY?!?!?!

David; (Trying to whisper into a microphone that allows thousands of people in the arena and millions around the world to hear also) Dude...not now man. Save it for the match, man....

DC; Oh...Oh right. OK, sure...but in all serious, are you ready for what is surely the biggest tag match of your careers?

HHH619 is becoming a tad agitated at DC's and David's utter pointless rabbles...and it shows...

HHH619; You two done clowning around yet?

David; Yes...yes we are. Please, answer the question and we won't say a word.

HHH619; Much better. Now, in regards to your question about us being ready for this match, well I think you are completely overlooking our abilities. I mean, lets just look at Prototype for just one second, shall we?

DC; Enlighten us...

HHH619 nods his head and points towards Prototype, is is sat to his left. Prototype shuffles around a little bit, sitting up starting to look proud of himself. Some of the females also scream for him...

HHH619; Now this man right here is like Gawd's gift to wrestling. I mean, just look at his physique! He is chiselled out out of stone and has the wrestling talent like no one else before, during OR after him. He is part of the greatest team known to man, Evolution two point zero and the ladies simply love him! Now, that ALONE between two men is unstoppable, but when you haven't even got to the second half of the team, the question "are you ready?" is rather pathetic...

DC Hennig scratches his noise and looks at the crowd, nodding his head...

HHH619; Now lets take a look at me. There is a reason why they call me "The Game"...

David; You like the Xbox?

The audience laughs...HHH619 ignores it...

HHH619; ...they call me "The Game" because I am just that. I study my opponents. I find their weak spots. I pin point where I will get the advantage and I DAMN sure have a strategy for everyone. Hence why I am the greatest XWA Rising Star Division Champion in the history of this company!

David; I once held that title. Very nice...

The "internet" fans in the crowd know exactly what David is talking about, but the rest are now thinking back through the past winners of that RSD title....Megaman...McNugget...Snake...Matt Lescott...Kanimaniac...and the great "Huh...."...nope. No David Micahels....DC looks at David...

DC; Dude...no you didn't!

David; Sure I did! Ya know...back at Hardcore Hell...painted....I beat MV.....OHHHHHH....Ohhhh...OKKKK...yeah, you're right. Jeeshhhh...silly me. Dunno what I am thinking. Got mixed up with the SIW Hardcore Title. Easily done. I do it all the time...haha...

David then lowers his mic and smiles really suspiciously at DC...must of had too many raisins...or something...

Prototype; Alright, look. This crap is getting boring. Either you give us a legit interview, like you said it would be, or we are getting the hell outta here.

DC; Easy there tiger. This is a legit interview, but this is OUR interview. So you will just sit back, deal with it and wait for the questions. Get it? Excellent...

The crowd applaud, as Prototype just got put in his place. This is DC's house...well, hotel actually, but same difference...

David; Now to my question, which is THE question of the night, might I add. Prototype...

David sits up on the bed and looks square into Prototype's eyes...

David; ....what makes you think that...the ladies fancy you more than me?

Protoype is now looking utterly bored of this...

Prototype; Alright. That's it, we're done. Trips, lets get out of here...

HHH619 and Prototype get up off the sofa and start to walk out of the ring. David doesn't appreciate this. He jumps up off the bed in anger...

David; Woah...woah....what do you think you are doing?

HHH619 turns round and gets right into David's face...

HHH619; I'll tell you what we are doing. We are ending this bullcrap and going to prepare for our match later on tonight. Unlike you two fools, we intend to take our careers seriously. The tag team titles clearly mean nothing to you, but the same mind set doesn't apply for us...

David; Wait....wait, I recognise you...

HHH619; What?

David; What are you? Deaf? I..SAID..I...RECOGNISE...YOU!!!!

HHH619; Don't patronise me...

David; I'm not. I'm being deadly serious. Ever since we had that match back in "good ol' Canada", it has been bugging me for a long while. Your face it extremely familiar to me....

HHH619; Well of course it is. I already told you, I am the single greatest RSD Cham....

David; Yes yea yada yada...you already said all that. I mean, I know you from somewhere...did we ever go out drinking before?

HHH619; You're joking...right?

David; No I mean it...OH I know it is I recognise about you; that nose! I have seen that hooter before....do you know my brother Shawn?

HHH619; No...is this going anywhere?

David; Yeah, you defo know my bro....are you....HHH?

HHH619; .....619, yes.

David; IT ISSSSSSS!

At this point, DC pushes David....

David; OUCH! What the hell was that for?!?

DC; would you cut it out with that stupid catchphrase? You have done it three times now in one segment and you have killed it...

This finally makes Evolution 2.0 snap...

Prototype; Alright, cut the bullshit already! Since you two jackasses can't live up to your word or even have respect for your own careers, we shall be leaving....

David; Jackasses? No respect for ourselves, huh? Well you two think highly of yourselves and feel the need to tell us who you are, why not let me remind YOU of who in the hell we are!

Then, as David Michaels is literally about to utter the words reminding Evolution 2.0 of who he and DC are and what they have accomplished, they are suddenly interrupted by the one theme of the two men they despise the most...



All four men in the ring turn their attention towards the entrance stage, with David and Proto taking a few seconds longer to unlock themselves from one another's stares...two men strut out from under the titantron, fully clothed in their wrestling gear, while wearing their latest merchandise. The fans begin a combination of cheers and boos, as the two men stood under the Main Event titantron are none other than....JHalc and Evan Flare aka Death Sentence, the third team in this equation. The atmosphere can instantly felt as this is the first time since last August that Death Sentence and the Phenomenal ShowStoppas have even all been in the same company together, let alone the very same promo, segment or match! The fans boos and cheers quickly turn into a "Lets Go Death Sentence!" and "Phe-no-me-nal Show-Stoppas!" chant, with the crowd playing a tug of war between the two teams! Evolution 2.0 look around and are pretty annoyed that they are being overshadowed by this epic rivalry, which made SIW famous. Eventually, the music dies down and the chants simply become even louder. David and DC look around at the crowd, while JHalc and Flare do the same. JHalc then lifts the mic he has in his left hand to his mouth and begins to lay down...the "awesome" truth...

JHalc; Well....well...well....look at what we have here, aye? The, so called, "Phenomenal ShowStoppas"...are arch rivals from the days of Sudden Impact Wrestling. My, my, how time flies. It seems like only yesterday that Evan and I were whipping your asses in the first ever tag team match in SIW....

DC sudden steps up to the ring ropes and grabs them in anger, with his mic shooting up to his mouth...

DC; ....and it seems like only yesterday that David and I were whipping YOUR ass in the first ever 5 team TLC match, winning the SIW World Tag Team Titles in the process!

This gets the crowd to give out an instant pop, especially from the SIDub fans in attendance. JHalc lowers his mic and moves his head away, shaking it while laughing at what was just said to him. Flare then puts his arm on JHalc's shoulder,with Flare looking upset at the comeback. JHalc holds his hand up at Flare, almost silently stating that he has all this under control...

JHalc; Woah....easy there, Cow Boy Hennig. We are not out here to start a "we did better than you" slagging match. We are out here to put Evolution 2.0 in their place....and then other you two "Degenerates" a deal...

DC looks at David rather confused. David shrugs his shoulder, as he doesn't have a clue what JHalc is on about. Death Sentence then begin to walk down the ramp towards the ring. This might just get a little more personal...HHH619 and Prototype back up a little bit, while DC and David stand in the centre of the ring awaiting Death Sentence to get into the ring, which they eventually do. Once Flare and JHalc get in the ring, they immediately get straight into the faces of DC and David respectively. Instantly, the fans shoot to their feet once more and begin their Kodak moments once more, as the camera flashes set off like fireworks on New Year's Eve! Jhalc and Flare look more serious than ever, while DC and David show their intensity with grins on their faces....you can cut this with a knife! Flare then brings his mic up to his mouth and Death Sentence both back up...

Evan Flare; So, here we are once more....Death Sentence and the Phenomenal ShowStoppas...just like good ol' times. But, like JHalc said, we are not here to top each other or even reminisce on the past. We are here to talk about the future...are as they like to call themselves, Evolution 2.0.

Flare and JHalc both turn towards HHH619 and Prototype, who now have a sudden interest in this conversation. The two stand their ground against Death Sentence...

Flare; Now, let me get this straight, YOU are being dubbed "the future" of this company, correct?

Prototype; Correct...

Flare; So no doubt you would consider yourself the biggest threat in this tag team match here tonight then?

Prototype; ....obviously...

Flare; ...and, no doubt, you two would consider yourself XWA through and through, despite you Proto being in SIW for a short while?

Prototype; ...your better believe it, or why would I be on Team XWA this Sunday?

HHH619 then applauds this fact, while the XWA fans do the exact same....Flare and JHalc look at Proto with a sense of respect for this, while David merely rolls his eyes in the opposite direction and looks away.

JHalc; So with that said, what is wrong with this set of wrestlers in the ring then?

JHalc sends his arms round in a circular motion, pointing at each man in the process. The fans seem a little confused, while Evolution 2.0 and the Phenomenal ShowStoppas looks just as confused...JHalc shakes his head and gives out a huge sigh in the process and then turns to DC and David, pointing to them...

JHalc; Don't you two "futures" see? You two are the odd ones out here tonight. Death Sentence...SIW. Phenomenal ShowStoppas...SIW. Evolution 2.0...XWA.

David then suddenly interrupts this apparent riddle...

David; What does that have to do with anything?

JHalc; Well if you would just let us finish for one second, you might understand. You see, this is where that "deal" I mentioned earlier comes into it. With all this SIW vs XWA talk going around and heated rivalry now between to two organisations, I think it is more important than ever than us SIW comrades stick to together in this war....

DC; Meaning...

Flare; ...meaning, that I think us, along with you, simply make sure that tonight that a team from SIW gets the victory and prevent the teams from "the enemy" doesn't win...

David and DC are completely taken back by this apparent offer. Did JHalc and Flare really just offer to side with them, albeit to prevent Evolution 2.0 getting the victory here tonight? Surely not...Death Sentence and the Phenomenal ShowStoppas on the same page? Hell might just freeze over...with a confused look on his face, David begins to speak...

David; What? Wait...wait...are you saying WE, your complete and utter enemies, stay on the same page here tonight and prevent them two winning that title shot?

JHalc; That's EXACTLY what we are saying....of course, we still expect to wrestle you in the ring. We wouldn't want that any other way...

DC; How the hell can we trust you?

Flare; Simple...you can't. No one can, but you know that this makes sense. Do you want XWA or SIW on top? I think we know what your answers to that will be...

DC and David look at each other, still utterly confused by this proposition. HHH619 and Prototype can't believe what they are hearing - their two tag team opponents tonight are now solely gunning to make sure they don't get the win....so it seems. David and DC mutter a few words to one another and then look up at Death Sentence...two grins come to their faces...

JHalc; Well...?

David; Alright, we can see where you are coming from. So...you're on, BUT lets make this perfectly clear - We don't like you. We never will like you. We will still fight you here tonight. BUT as long as they don't win, we will be just as happy us you two guys.

This makes everyone in the arena more surprised than ever before....until they see JHalc, Flare, DC and David all shake hands with one another! Hell just froze over....Evolution 2.0 have kept quiet, while looking more angry and shocked than the fans are at the return of Jason Sparks. Then, they have something to say...

HHH619; Oh, so this is how it is going to be, huh? You finally decide to take us serious and take the cheap road of making it basically four on two ahndicap match? Yeah, real brave. But, since we have seemingly got your serious attention now, we also have something to say...but we let our talking take the form of....action!

In one swift motion, HHH619 and Prototype attack their newly found SIW enemies. Both men knock the two teams down with cloetheslins, with HHH619 taking out DC and David and Prototype taking out Jhalc and Flare. JHalc is the first back to his feet and he gets cloetheslined out of the ring by HHH619 for his troubles, while Prototype sends Evan Flare flying out the ring for his troubles. DC and David jump in on HHH619 and Prototype as they turn back round, but to no use. Evolution 2.0 gain the advantage once more with the fist fight and begin the beat down, with HHH619 hitting a sickening DDT to David and Prototype nearly Dropkicking DC's head clean off of his shoulders! The fans chant for...well, everyone...as they love DC and David...now they love JHalc and Flare for teaming with them...AND they love Evolution 2.0! They just scream for the hell of it and enjoy it all...but they the want Death Sentence to get back into the ring and help out their fellow SIW members...JHalc and Flare get back to their feet and begin to rush back into the ring...but suddenly stop, hold their arms into the air and begin to backup on the entrance ramp. They never said they would help DC and David out, just make sure Evolution 2.0 never won...Death Sentence turn away and walk out of sight. HHH619 waits for DC Hennig to get back to his feet...kicks him in the gut and delivers the most insanely impactful Pedigree you have EVER witnessed! The thud of DC's upper body hitting the canvas echoes around the arena, with even the fans feeling it. Then, David gets back to his feet, completely dazed and confused...he walks right into Protoype, who locks him into the Cobra Clutch, brings him down with a Side Russian Legsweep, keeping the Cltuch locked in, rolls him over and begins to lock his Greatness Calling submission move! He wrenches back on David, as HHH619 stands over DC in triumph. Protoype pulls back as far as he can, almost appearing to break David's back! David's face goes completely red and he is out of it. Prototype eventually lets go of the move and pushes David's face down to the mat. The two men then stand over the Phenomenal ShowStoppas, arms raised in the air as their music begins to play. If they were not being taken serious by at least DC and David, they sure as hell are now...

-----Entrances-----

Cedar; Well, here we go ladies an gentlemen! We have come to the business end of the card and it is ALL about the tag team titles one way or another from here on in! Our main event of the night is TLC between NWD and NAI for the titles, but before that, we need to crown a new set of #1 contenders and boy oh boy, how in the hell do your separate the teams in this bout, Eric?

Bull; Well you hit the nail right on the head there, Cedar. These three teams are very evenly matched, not to mention that at least two of these teams know each other inside out.

Cedar; Exactly and with that said, lets take a look at the "Tale of the Tape"....

The camera shot then shows a graphic showing all three teams in the match, each one with their stats underneath. Then, another graphic pops up going into more "detail" about the backdrop between the three teams....

Cedar; Well, as Eric just mentioned, two of these teams know each other inside out more than anyone else in this federation...lets look at the factors.



Cedar; "Destiny for Evolution 2.0?" - HHH619 and Prototype have greatness etched into their futures, but after having a previous tag team title match and losing it, can the team regroup and win, what is surely, the biggest tag match and chance of their careers?

Bull; Well, these two think highly of themselves and the XWA Universe seems adore them for it, but is it indeed their destiny to win tonight?

Cedar; "The Rubber Match?" - Despite these two teams on meeting two vs two on one other occasion, it can be considered a rubber match. Death Sentence won the first ever SIW tag team match against the Phenomenal ShowStoppas, whereas DC and David won the Table, Ladders and Chairs match for the Gold, which also including Death Sentence, taking the rivalry to 1-1. So, can one of these teams double their tally here tonight or will Evolution 2.0 foil both teams?

Bull; Well despite this rivalry not happening at all in this company, it has been very well documented and it will no doubt reignite here tonight!

Cedar; "King of Xtreme; Destraction?" - All six of these men are involved in high profile matches at our next Pay Per View, King of Xtreme...JHalc and David Michaels in the Million Dollar Chamber...HHH619 in the International Title match...Evan Flare and Prototype involved in the "Battle of the Feds" SIW vs XWA tag team match...and DC Hennig taking on Gabriel Angels for the vacant XWA Championship. So with all that only one card away, can these men keep their eyes on the ball here tonight?

Bull; Well no doubt, all these men want to be victorious at King of Xtreme, but are they prepared to go all out here tonight to gain that same taste of victory?

Cedar; ...and "DS vs PS; distraction or SIW alliance?" - Not only does the matches at King of Xtreme play a distraction factor in this match, but does the rivalry of Death Sentence and The Phenomenal ShowStoppas distract them from actually getting the win? If so, then this will be Evolution's night for sure! Or will the two teams live up to their word and merely make sure that the winning team originates from SIW?

Bull; Well these two teams hate each other, no doubt about that, but both teams declared that all they wanted was an SIW team to win and that might just be the deciding factor in Evolution's gameplan!

Cedar; Well, ladies and Gentlemen, you know the backdrop. You know how they got here. And now be prepared for a tag team match for the ages, right here....tonight on FREE TV!

Bull; Man, I can't wait!

Cedar; Let's take you to ringside and Justin Roberts...

DING...DING...DING!!!

Justin Roberts; Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is the Tag Team Triple Threat set for one fall, where the winners will become the Number One Contenders for the XWA Tag Team Championship. Introducing first...

Are You Ready?



As three of the most famous words in wrestling are echoed around the arena, the crowd leaps to their feet, screaming, clapping and pretty much just jumping around like total marks, the arena suddenly heads into darkness. The entrance ramp is transformed into a luminous, almost hallucinatory, Green, while the titantron starts flashing even more luminous Green, creating such a spectacular effect. The lighting goes Green too around the arena, and start pulsating in co-ordinance with the theme. As the theme then kicks it and the fans do indeed begin to "Break It Down", within a millisecond, the whole arena light up with Green flashing even more rapidly than before. Then, the fans' cheers suddenly erupt, as three figures appear from under the titantron...

Justin Roberts; ...to be accompanied to the ring by Emma...at a combined weight of 422 pounds..."Mr. Phenomenal", DC Hennig..."The ShowStoppa" David Michaels...DxWo...THE....PHENOMENAL....SHOWSTOPPASSSSSSSS!

...as the trio appear, the crowd gives out a pop and a half. The atmosphere inside the stadium become simply deafening, as 50,000 plus start to scream for the Phenomenal ShowStoppas. They may have been disappointed earlier when the DxWo music was not played, but boy was it worth the extra wait. The crowd are especially in full flow due to one person in particular. A certain "Heart Break Kid" was born and raised only a matter of thirty miles away, so it is fair to say that David Michaels is the home town boy here tonight! David, DC and Emma are now at the centre of the entrance stage. DC Hennig is wearing his classic trademarked Aqua and Yellow singlet, with a brand new DxWo towel in hand (which is available at stores...near YOU!). Towel grasped in his left hand, he has a couple of Green Glowsticks bundled together in his left hand. At closer inspection, it can be noticed that DC is also sporting a Cow Boy hat....he must have taken his own words earlier pretty literally! However, the cowboy hat is camouflaged and has "DxWo" written across the front! DC stops in the centre of the ramp and puts his arms on his waist, looking at the crowd knowing he really is that...Phenomenal! David, on the other hand, is wearing some brand new Black and Green tights, in recognition of the Phenomenal ShowStoppas teaming together for the first time in XWA history! He is wearing a fancy entrance outfit, all Green and Silver, with the lights sparkling off of it like a Summer's Day on a river, while also sporting the new DxWo Cow Boy hat. David starts to dance around a little, as he gets into "ShowStoppa" mode. While DC and David start getting into their respective characters, Emma is stood in between both men, looking especially sexy tonight! Having changed from the "Sofa Battle Royal" from earlier, she is now wearing a very unique pair of sparkly Green jeans, which are completely custom! The upper of her body is submerged in the BRAND sanking new "Phenomenal ShowStoppas: Long Live the Cocks!" T-Shirt, which has DC and David's goofy faces on the front and "Suck It!" across the back. Comically, she is also wearing David's "village people" entrance hat, that she was hating on earlier! Aftre David decides to stop goofing around with the Gawd awful dancing, he and DC stand front and back of Emma. David bends his right leg down and delivers a flood blooded HBK pose, while Emma collapses her arms around him from behind and DC tosses his DxWo towel high into the air, catches it from behind and then raises his arms into the air. This triggers off a series of Green and Silver Fireworks rapidly going off from behind the trio, right to left. As the smoke indicates that the fireworks are over, DC chucks his glowsticks into the crowd, with his...Phenomenal fans diving from all directions towards them!

David gets back to his vertical base and the three people of the moment begin the walk down the ramp. DC slaps the fans on the left hand side of the ramp, while David starts to jog/badly dance down the right hand side doing to same with the other fans, with Emma walking down the centre. As David makes it to the bottom of the ramp first, he turns back round to see Emma only half way down and DC tossing his Cow Boy hat to some lucky 8 year old in the crowd. David then runs back up the ramp, leans down and instructs Emma to hope on his back. She giggles and does so. David the begins the run down to the ring once more. He heads off round the left hand side and starts to dance around the ring with an extra passenger on his back trying to dance as bad as him with one of her arms. Meanwhile, DC is laughing and shaking his head at his best friends ridiculous love for Emma. He makes it tot he bottom of the ramp and rolls into the ring. As he stands in the centre and launches his arms into the air, the camera flashes simply go into a whole new level of insanity! DC soaks in the atmosphere and shouts out "Simply...Phenomenal!", which gets the crowd to give off another huge pop! While this is happening, the camera shot zooms in on David and Emma still running around the ringside area. David looks somewhat out of breath and finally decides to get into the ring. Emma hops off his back and the pair climb the ring steps and into the ring. David hops along the ring apron, milking the home town atmosphere for all it is worth. Emma is now in the ring, clapping her man, while DC is now pointing over his head (nWo style) towards his Sexy Boy partner. David finally gets in the ring and jumps around in circles, arms either side of him. Well, if DC just got the pop of the month, well David Michaels just got the pop of the century! A sudden "HBK!!! HBK!!! HBK!!!" chant arises. David's face looks now super intense, as he begins the HBK pose in the centre of the ring again. DC smooth walks behind him and raises his arms in the air once more and the pair receive even more cheers from an already electric crowd. The pair then jump onto the turnbuckles facing the hard camera, while Emma is holding her arms in the air in the form on an "X". David throws his Cow Boy Hat into the crowd, with Emma following suit. The pair of DC and David jump down into the centre of the ring, high five another. David then sexily and goofily takes off his entrance gear and calls for a mic....

David; What's Sup' ENGLAND?!?!?!?!?!

The crowd cheers in simply hearing their countries' name...

David; Boy does it feel GOOD to be back home! Anyways.....Lllllllladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all Ages....The D-Generation X World Order, probably brings to you, it's soon to be...brand new...XWA....TAGGGG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!! "Mr. Phenomenal" DC Hennig..."The ShowStoppa" David Michaels...THE...PHENOMENAL SHOWSTOPPAS!!!!

As the crowd finish badly keeping in time with what David was saying, a huge "WOOOO!" and round of applause circles the arena....

David; Now, if you would all just be quiet for a minute, my...Phenomenal friend has something really important he has to ask you...

David then grabs his mic with both hands and points it towards DC, who reaches out with both hands also and the pair begin a ten second tug of war for the mic. DC Hennig wins the "battle" this time...

DC Hennig; ....Are you ready?

All the crowd scream "YESSSSS!"...but not loud enough...

DC; NOOO! Sunderland, I said....ARE....YOU....READYYYYYY?!?!

This time, the crowd give off a complete eruption! Their City's names was said again!

DC; Then.....for the thousands in attendance....for the millions watching at home....and....because we are back baby!!!! But, also, one other thing...for whom ever the XWA Tag Team Champions may be come the end of the night...Vendetta is Red, Mayhem is Blue. Hey tag champs, The Phenomenal ShowStoppas are coming for YOU!

Once again, this gets the crowd's adrenaline pumping. The Phenomenal ShowStoppas really do mean business here tonight!

DC; .....then.......llllllllllllllllllets get you ready to SUCK ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

DC then chucks the mic over his head to David, who catches with one hand...

David; ...and as per usual, if your not down with that, we got two words for ya....

SUCK IT!

---------------------------------------------

As the camera begins to shy away from the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, amidst tens of thousands of cheers and applause from the live audience after hearing such electrifying words come out of the mouths of the new and improved D-Generation X World Order, those in attendance live in the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, England, begin to shift their attention towards the massive "Main Event" titantron, with the closing moments of the Phenomenal Showstoppa's theme echoing throughout the arena as the giant spectacle of production magestry begins to transition into the theme of the next participants to enter what will easily be one hell of a match. The crowd's attention is completely undivided as they focus their attention on the titantron, preparing themselves for an appropriate reaction to either Death Sentence or Evolution 2.0, be it cheers, boo's, or a soft mixture of both. Regardless, the fans quickly grab their Death Sentence and Evolution 2.0 signs, ready to flash either when the team arrives... and after the very first guitar riff of Evolution 2.0's theme echoes throughout the arena, the Sunderland fans waste no time in disgarding their Death Sentence signs in favor of their Evolution 2.0 signs, flashing them proudly and cheering their hearts out as the team begins to make their entrance.



The arena suddenly illuminates into almost a nightclub type atmosphere, as multi-coloured strobe lighting rapidly fires everywhere. The camera flashes light up even more, making the whole arena pretty much unbearable to watch without sunglasses. Then, the entrance stage turns into a montage of fantastic Green and Gold, as two figures enter under the titantron. The fans give off a set of cheers loud enough to start an avalanche! The two men's faces can not yet be seen, as they stand in the centre of the stage, in darkness while multicoloured lighting only lights up their chest and bottom of their faces. Each man is stood either side of the other, one on the left looking down with dripping wet hair and water bottle in hand. The lighting effects emphasises the chiselled upper body physique, which shines in the light. The man on the right is stood looking upwards, light to right towards the crowd. He slowly lifts his arms into the air, stretched out to either side, which sets off a series of Green and Gold Fireworks behind the two men, with the main feature being a huge Gold waterfall rushing down from the top of the titantron. After a few seconds of soaking in the Stadium's atmosphere, the long haired figure suddenly shoots his head into the air and a shower of water erupts from his mouth almost instantaneously. This triggers the pyrotechnics to come to an end, and the two men begin to walk down the entrance ramp with their game faces on....

Justin Roberts;...at a combined weight of 395 pounds....."The Game" HHH619"...."The Greatness" Prototype....Evolution...Two....Point....OOOOO!

HHH619's and Protoype's names being announced gives the fans another excuse cheer these fantastic young athletes. As the two men walk down the ramp like men on a mission, HHH619 is seen wearing is usual Black Trunks, with his logo design on the back and "HHH619" written across the back, black boots, knee and arms pads, with white tapped fists. His partner Prototype, is wearing he Red Trunks, which say "Greatness" across the front of them in Gold lettering, black boots, knee pads and Black Taped wrists. Both men by this time are stood in front of the ring. The lights still flashing in the arena like a nightclub and the camera circling around both men, looking super intense. Once the camera stops circling the pair,. Prototype slides into the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, while his partner walks round the ring in front of the arena's hard camera. He takes another mouthful of the water and tosses it to the crowd. He then hops up onto the ring apron and the arena goes into darkness again, as the strobe lighting ceases. Two spotlights are now the only reamining source of light in to entire stadium; one shining down on to HHH619 and the other pointing towards the turnbuckle in which Prototype is. HHH619 then looks down to the floor below, pulls both of his arms inwards, while Prototype does the same on the turnbuckle. HHH619 then shoots his arms into the air, leaning back on to the top rope and shoots a blast of water high into the air and then brings his arms down in front of him with the must intense look imaginable, water dripping from his mouth, chin and hair. Prototype also shoots his arms into the air, but to either side of him, in his classic "Greatness" pose, with a complete look of confidence upon his face. His partner gives off another blast of water in front of him, while he stares down the camera like it was his worst enemy. He climbs into the ring and joins Prototype on another turnbuckle in posing to the crowd, arms shooting into the air once more. The arena lighting slowly comes back on, as the pair jump back into the centre of the ring. The crowd gives off another cheer and begins to clap for Evolution 2.0. The pair double high five one another and begin doing some light stretches in the corner. Their music ends and the wait begins once more....

---------------------------------------------

With the entrances of two out of the three teams complete, the live audience is completely torn; do they continue to cheer the two babyface teams in the center of the ring, both of which are commencing in an intense staredown, likely prompted from the Phenomenal Heartbreak Hotel segment from earlier? Or do the fans direct their attention to the massive titantron, prepare themselves vocally for the opportunity to boo the hell out of Death Sentence, and disregard the feelings of David Michaels, DC Hennig, Prototype, and HHH619, who hopefully wouldn't mistake the boo's for hatred of their own two teams. The fans are split, with most of the crowd turning their heads towards the titantron in total eagerness, ready and willing to try to make Evan Flare or JHalc cry here tonight, if such a thing is even possible. Regardless, as the closing moments of Evolution's entrance music fades away, and the opening seconds of Avenged Sevenfold's "Second Heartbeat" blasts throughout the speakers of the arena, the smarks prepare their pro-Death Sentence signs, while anyone that feels offended or betrayed by the actions of Flare and JHalc commence to give them as much heat as possible before they even enter the arena.



Amidst a highly-reactive live audience in Sunderland, England, Death Sentence make their presence known to the XWA Universe, confidently strutting out of the curtain and onto the stage, where JHalc immediately extends both arms, virtually telling anyone watching that he doesn't give half a rat's furry black ass what they think about him. At the same time, Flare begins to take a good look across the arena, capturing the faces of the people that hate him the most, while at the same time enjoying the heat he's getting, as he knows he must be doing a pretty good job with this whole heel persona. Of course, that could just as easily be proven by simply listening to the reaction of the live audience, as about 95% of the Sunderland audience absolutely despises Death Sentence, even with the proposition of forming a bit of an alliance with the Phenomenal Showstoppa's in the back of the minds of the fans. Regardless of that, the fans are relentless in their quest to try to get Death Sentence the hell out of the United Kingdom, with the exception of the 5% of the audience that could be considered "smarks." Death Sentence continues to arrogantly make their way across the stage, with both Evolution 2.0 and the Phenomenal Showstoppa's keeping their eyes on the duo, with the occasional glance at each other. JHalc and Flare make their way to center stage, where they stop dead in their tracks, possiblky expecting a pyrotechnics display. Sure enough, such a thing happens, with two standard blasts of red pyrotechnics skyrocketing to the rafters, deafening anyone within a two kilometer radius, while at the same time adding to the legitimacy of Death Sentence as a true force to be reckoned with... I mean hey, anyone that deserves their own pyrotechnics has got to be totally badass.

Justin Roberts; And finally, at a combined weight of 428 lbs., "The Franchise" Evan Flare... "The Main Event" JHalc... Death Sentence!

Following the official announcement of the two partners, Flare and JHalc begin their descent down the ramp, with Flare pretty much ignoring his haters as his attention is fully focused on David Michaels, DC Hennig, HHH619, and Prototype. It should be noted that Flare seems to be viewing the four men as opponents... not two allies and two enemies. Flare means business, and may very well be in the state of mind that he was once in when he first won the XWA Cruiser-X Championship a few months back. Meanwhile, JHalc is having a fairly entertaining time taunting the fans, continuing to motion to them to bring it on, or that he doesn't care what they think of him, because he's JHalc, and he's... AWESOME! Well... that's not exactly the mindset of the XWA Universe, but hey, a guy can dream. Anyway, Evan Flare is the first man to enter the ring, rolling underneath the bottom rope and immediately taking a look at his opponents once more, keeping a fair distance from all four men, even the two that are supposed to be considered his temporary SIW allies. JHalc has a bit more fun with the live audience, extending his hand for a high five for a few fans, then quickly drawing back and grazing the brim of his Fedora as he totally psyches them out. As the fans think of the perfect word to describe him (douchebag), JHalc ascends the steel steps, patting them as he climbs and positions himself on the apron, looking out into the masses amidst an atmosphere of controversy and disapproval, then casually enters the ring through the top and middle ropes. This is the first time that JHalc gets a good look at all of his opponents, although he did have a taste of Evolution 2.0 during the Phenomenal Heartbreak Hotal segment. Avoiding Evolution 2.0 entirely, JHalc has the gall to wander over to his SIW comrads, David Michaels and DC Hennig, who, for obvious reasons, are not quite sold on the prospect of their arch-enemies wanting to form some sort of alliance with them. Michaels and Hennig certainly don't embrace JHalc, but JHalc seems to be interested in them, pretty much trying to silently secure a deal with the two before the match begins. However, HHH619 is quick to break that up, stepping forward until JHalc has the sense to wonder back to Evan Flare. With all three teams awaiting the ring of the bell, this phenomenal tag team encounter is about to be underway!

-----The Match-----

DING...DING...DING!!!

The mics are thrown away, the crowd take their seats once more and the intensity on the atmosphere just got picked up a whole new level. All three teams are stood in the ring, staring one another down. The ref attempts to gain control before it even officially begins. He orders Prototype, Jhalc and Michaels to go on the ring aprons...after DC and Michaels play "Cock, Paper, Scissors" to decide who starts the match! A few words are spoken to each other, with replies not being entirely PG friendly. Eventually, the ref gains order and we only have HHH619, Evan Flare and DC Hennig all ready in the ring. Will the SIW alliance stay strong in the early going? It doesn't take long for Flare and DC to take sole attention on one another, almost forgetting that HHH619 is actually there. The two stand face to face, heads rubbing against the other. DC is daring Flare to punch him and Flare is on the verge of delivering...when HHH619 walks in and pretty much screams at the two. He pulls them apart and starts to remind them that he is in the match. DC and Flare look at one another, and in one swift and completely unprecedented, the pair clock HHH619 clean int he face, knocking him down flat on his back. HHH619 rolls backwards, clutching at his nose in anger. Then, it happens; after successfully taking out HHH619 with DC, Flare turns back towards him and gives him a stiff right hand in the face! It's on!

Cedar; Oh baby! It's on now! They said either team from SIW has to make sure Evolution 2.0 don't win, but they didn't say they wouldn't beat the crap out of each other in the process!

Bull; OH YEAH! FIGHT PEOPLE....FIGHT!

Flare and DC start to trade fists, with Flare getting the literal upper hand. He pushes DC off the ropes, which is reversed, and Flare comes bouncing off them himself. DC goes for a back body drop, but Flare is lifted over him and lands behind DC. Flare then picks up DC up from behind and crashes him down him a Belly-to-Back Suplex with authority! DC clutches the back of his head tightly, while Flare gets backs to his feet and dodges a clothesline attempt from HHH619. HHH619 turns round quickly and runs at Flare once more, but he gets caught and is lifted up and down in a heart beat via a Single Leg Flapjack, dropping HHH619 on his already hurting face. DC is now back to his feet and hits Flare from behind with a swift forearm. He attempts to return the Belly-to-Back favour, but Flare manages to flip out of it, turns DC around and whips him into the corner where JHalc is standing. DC puts on the breaks and ducks a swinging right from JHalc. DC cracks JHalc in the chin, knocking him off the apron. Flare then sprints in towards the corner...DC manages to leap frog over him and Flare coolides with the top turnbuckles. DC loks behind him and sees Flare dazed. He then turns back to face forwards and sees HHH619, once again, on the charge. But before HHH619 can connect, DC Hennig kicks him in the gut, grabs hold of his waist and tosses him over his head in a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, with HHH619's lower body hitting Flare in the corner. The audience applaud DC's move, while Emma is clapping on the outside as well. DC then picks HHH619 and whips him off the ropes. DC connects with a Powerslam and hooks the leg...1....2....Prototype rushes in to break it up, by delivering a stiff Elbow Drop to the back of DC's head. The ref gets Proto back to the apron, but this allows HHH619 to regain himself and get to his feet first. HHH619 picks DC up and drops him straight back down with a Snap Suplex and heads over towards Flare. He runs in and nails a Corner Clothesline, followed by a Running Bulldo(n)g. He hooks the leg...1...2....Kick Out. HHH619 then picks Flare back up and takes him over to his corner and tags in Prototype. The pair stand side by side in front of Flare and push him off the ropes. Flare comes running back towards them and they pick him either side and drop him down hard with a Double Sidewalk Slam. The ref orders HHH619 out of the ring, who holds his arms up in innocence. Protoype then delivers a flurry of stomps all around the body of Flare before he looks up and sees DC getting back to his feet. Protoype quickly heads over to him, drops down on one knee and suddenly snaps DC off with a Fireman's Carry right into a Fist Drop, directly to his head.

Cedar; Prototype is going to have to try and take the advantage here. These type of matches are so difficult, as you no sooner gain the advantage over one man before you need to concentrate on the other opponent....or they knock your head off before you get chance!

Bull; Totally, Cedar, but that's what makes it totally unique. Three awesome teams. One difficult match. One ultimate pair of winners!

With Prototype totally in control of the match at this point, Hennig is wise enough to know that, given his close proximity to Prototype, as well as his complete vulnerability, he is gonna get manhandled unless he can either get to his feet, or simply get away from Prototype. Hennig takes option two, desperately rolling out of harm's way until he finds himself underneath the bottom rope, with Prototype hot on his heels the entire way. Proto is so quick to follow Hennig that he is able to bend down just as soon as Hennig stops rolling, grabbing a handful of Hennig's blonde locks as the referee informs Prototype that he can't legally do anything while Hennig is underneath the rope. Regardless, the only thing that stops Prototype in his mission to inflict damage on Mr. Phenomenal is the fact that Evan Flare is back onto his feet, and soon recognizes the clever positioning between he and his opponents, rushing towards Prototype and clubbing him in the back with three stiff forearm attacks. Proto, bent over in pain, collapses to the ring ropes, which Flare takes advantage of by Irish whipping Proto to the other side of the ring, then walking towards the center of the ring as Proto begins his journey to the opposite set of ropes. Proto bounces off just as Flare bends over, and regardless of whatever Flare had in mind, Proto is wise enough to leap frog over Evan Flare, then, in an incredible display of athleticism and ring sense, draws both of his feet together and plants them firmly in the ribcage of DC Hennig, perfecting an impromptu Baseball Slide that the crowd goes wild over, despite it being performed on the ultra babyface DC Hennig. Hennig is knocked out of the ring with so much force that he nearly collides with the commentary tables behind him, and as Proto admires his handiwork, Flare once again goes on the assault, taking advantage of his positioning to sneak up behind Prototype and take a cheap shot, kicking Proto in the back of the leg, forcing his knee to buckle under him. Flare doesn't even allow Proto the luxury of falling as he immediately wraps his arm around Prototype's throat, then grabs hold of Proto's tights with his free hand and performs a well-executed Inverted Suplex, dropping Prototype squarely on his face as the fans boo the notion of Flare gaining the upper hand. Wasting no time at all, Flare picks himself up and grabs hold of both of Proto's arms, then drags him toward the corner where JHalc happens to be, eagerly awaiting the tag. Flare obliges and tags in his partner, who promptly enters the ring as Flare picks Prototype up onto his feet. Flare then props Proto onto his shoulders, having Prototype secured in a Fireman's Carry, and nods suggestively at JHalc, who then sprints to the ropes in front of Flare. JHalc bounces off the ropes, and with a ferocious amount of velocity, leaps in mid-air once he gets within close enough proximity to Prototype. While in mid-air, JHalc begisn to tilt forward until he finds himself doing a somersault, grabbing hold of Prototype's neck while upside down and then, while Flare complements JHalc's apparent neckbreaker with incredible timing, Death Sentence caps off an excellent Samoan Drop/Corkscrew Neckbreaker Combo, annihilating Prototype as the Evolution 2.0 member crashes to the mat, his partner watching in dismay as Death Sentence continues to have a binding grip on this match.

Cedar; And now it looks like Death Sentence is firmly in control after an incredible double-team maneuver!

Bull; I wouldn't count the other two teams out just yet, Cedar. HHH619 is dying to get in there, and David Michaels is completely fresh... the tide could very well change any minute now.

While DC Hennig picks himself up onto his feet outside of the ring, David Michaels, who is close enough to Hennig to do this, leaps off the apron and consults with Hennig, possibly mapping out some sort of plan for the upcoming moments of the match so that the Phenomenal Showstoppa's can gain the upper hand, and possibly the number one contendership to the XWA Tag Team Championships. Emma Michaels joins in as well, and after taking an initial glance at the little huddle by the three DxWo members, the crowd's attention soon become undivided, with almost everyone in the arena focusing on the happenings inside the ring as JHalc, a confirmed submission specialist, sits Prototype up in a sitting position, then firmly locks in a Chickenwing Chokehold, looking to make Prototype black out and secure Death Sentence an early submission victory. The referee keeps a firm eye on JHalc, recognizing that JHalc does not necessarily play by the rules all the time, and ensuring that this match doesn't end up with a horrible screwjob ending. JHalc obliges to the rules, keeping the hold locked in while the crowd begins to officially get behind Prototype, chanting "Let's go Proto! *clap clap clap clap clap*" repeatedly until Proto is able to use the momentum of the live audience to get onto a vertical base, fighting JHalc's struggles as he desperately tries to get onto his feet. Just as Proto begins to mount a comeback, however, something catches the referee's eye, and the official soon realizes that the Phenomenal Showstoppa's are having a little meeting outside of the ring! Ruling that such a thing is against the official Xtreme Wrestling Association rules, the referee turns his attention to the trio and tells them to immediately disband this little get-together, for Michaels to get back onto the apron and for Hennig to get back into the ring. The crowd is torn... should they see the Phenomenal Showstoppa's reaction to the referee's demands, or should they be watching Prototype's potential comeback? The question is answered for them, though, as, after making sure that the referee is distracted, Evan Flare casually walks across the apron, then kicks Prototype in the ribs, illegally putting an ultimate end to his comeback, and allowing JHalc to once again gain control over his opponent, as JHalc immediately uses Flare's interference to pull off a Chickenwing Overhead Suplex, tossing Prototype over his head and planting Promo to the mat once more. JHalc wastes no time at all in shouting at the referee to come over and make the count as he slides on top of the fallen Prorotype, hooking his leg as he goes for the early victory. The cover; 1... 2... kick out at 2 and a half. JHalc gives the referee an angry glance as he picks Prototype onto his feet, while at the same time getting to his own feet. Meanwhile, David Michaels has relocated to the apron, and DC has decided to defy the referee's orders for the time being, hovering around the ring as he waits for the perfect time to enter the match. That time hasn't come yet, though, as the intensely fresh JHalc looks to be completely dominant at the moment, wrapping his arm around Prototype's throat, while at the same time under his arm, then forcing Prototype backwards until his lower back crashes onto JHalc's knee, with JHalc performing a devastating STO Backbreaker in order to further incapacitate one of his four opponents. However, rather than releasing Prorotype and allowing him to cumble to the mat below, JHalc hits the metaphorical rewind button, pulling Prototype up as he gets back to his feet, as if the STO Backbreaker never happened. However, JHalc soon follows up the move with an even more devastating one, using his hold on Prototype to throw Proto backwards as he nails an extraordnary T-Bone Suplex, and once both men hit the mat, JHalc realizes that he is just close enough to Prototype to go for the pinfall. The cover; 1... 2... kickout at 2 and 3/4! The crowd goes wild, either for Proto's kickout, or JHalc's stunned face, as if Prorotype exhibiting incredible durability is a shocker. Regardless, JHalc decides that the sound of an opponent's hand viciously smacking the mat is much more satisfying than a pinfall victory, and with that said, JHalc rolls Prototype onto his face and chest, then drives both of his knee's into Prototype's exposed back, grabbing the neck and legs of Proto with both arms as he rolls onto his own back, contorting Prototype's spine against his knees with an impressive Bow and Arrow Hold, forcing the crowd to listen to the relentless groans of Prorotype as he endures the pain as best he can. JHalc has nothing but determination on his face, as does HHH629, who is absolutely dying for the hot tag at this moment in the match. David Michaels looks relatively calm on the apron, although no one is truly paying too much attention to him, as they'd rather keep their eyes on JHalc and Prototype, hoping that Proto can stay in there until JHalc either gets bored of the hold, or inflicts enough damage to over-confidently release it. Neither happens, however, as out of nowhere, DC Hennig leaps up onto the apron behind JHalc and Prototype, risking interference from Evan Flare, who is a few feet away from him on the same apron. However, Hennig doesn't allow him the time to do such a thing, as he immediately grabs hold of the top rope, leans back, and slingshots himself into the ring, performing a somersault until he crashes into both men, his back crashing into Prototype's completely exposed chest, obviously causing immense pain for both Proto and JHalc as he pulls off a ferocious Slingshot Somersault Senton, making the crowd go absolutely insane as Hennig has broken the Death Sentence chain of offense, a plan possibly formulated in the huddle from earlier. JHalc proves not to have taken too much damage, however, as he and Hennig get to their feet around the same time, with Hennig maybe mounting a vertical base a second or two earlier. Then, both men commence in a stare down, with Hennig completely aware of the "truce" that Death Sentence proposed to the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, but wisely being weary of his coniving "ally." What will become of the Death Sentece/Phenomenal Showstoppa alliance? Do David Michaels and DC Hennig really have enough trust in Evan Flare and JHalc to team up with each other for the sake of SIW?

Cedar; What will become of the Death Sentece/Phenomenal Showstoppa alliance? Do David Michaels and DC Hennig really have enough trust in Evan Flare and JHalc to team up with each other for the sake of SIW?

Bull; Alright, first of all, why are you talking like you're promoting some sort of action movie? And secondly, to answer your question... well, come to think of it, I don't really have an answer. I'll tell you this though, given the history between these two teams... I wouldn't trust a single one of them.

With DC and JHalc continuing their stare down in the ring, the crowd begin to become even more intrigued by this apparent "deal". JHalc and DC start to swap insults, with the said words clearly not meant for the "Cena" generation of fans. The camera flashes begin to shoot off like rapid gunfire, as the crowd can sense a brawl between the two. If there really is trust on DC and David's part, it is being worn pretty thin to say the least. But as the two men continue to trade words, they a blind to notice that Prototype, who is still really hurting from the onslaught of moves he just received, is starting to crawl towards his partner. No the crowd really is confused, with their swinging from left to right, almost like watching a tennis match...what do they watch now? A potential brawl between two of the biggest starts in the company or prepare to explode in applause as Prototype makes the tag? Well, just like earlier, the question is answered for them as Prototype finds the energy deep within and leaps a quarter of the way across the ring and smacks the hand of his partner....here..comes...THE GAME! The crowd hear and see the tag at the last second and instantly, the roof comes off the joint! HHH619 enters through the ropes, as his partner desperately rolls to outside the ring to recuperate. HHH619 charges in towards DC and JHalc, Clotheslining both men down, ending the conversation for them. DC quickly gets back to his feet, but is pushed into the corner and whipped into the opposite one by HHH619. DC's back cracks hard with the turnbuckles, with his already injured knee also hitting the middle turnbuckle pretty awkwardly. HHH619 charges in after DC and hit s running corner Spear, making DC's middle body go crushing backwards towards the actual ring post. HHH619 then turns round and spots that JHalc is now back to his feet. HHH619 dodges a running boot from him and then grabs both arms from behind, and delivers a perfect and dangerous Full Nelson Suplex, into the bridge...1...2....Kick Out...but only just! JHalc rolls over an holds the back of his neck. That landing didn't look pretty, with even Emma cringing at the sight of it on the outside of the ring. Flare is standing on the bottom rope, hanging over the top one shouting towards both the ref and HHH619. HHH619 gets back to his feet, turns round and clocks Flare right in the head, knocking him off the ring apron to the delight of the XWA Universe! HHH619 then heads back into the corner where DC Hennig is, while Flare attempts to get back into the ring, with the ref using all his might to prevent him from doing so. HHH619 delivers a Snapmare to DC Hennig, bringing him out of the corner, which is swiftly followed by a sickening kick to the spine of DC. David jumps on the ring apron and cringes at the sight of his best friend getting his spinal region rearranged. David shakes his head and then begins to clap DC on, which spurs the fans in the arena to do the same. HHH619 then drags DC Hennig up and lifts him high into the high a Hanging Vertical Suplex, keeping him in the air easily for at least ten seconds and then crunching him down with full force. Instantly after the impact, DC half sits up in pain arching his back and with a really agonising look on his face. HHH619 shoves DC back down onto his back and hooks the leg...1....2...Shoulder Up! This kick out makes David start to stomp his feet, which then, in turn, makes Emma begin to clap to David's stomping. HHH619 stands back up to a vertical base and then turns his attention to JHalc, who is now on his knees, still holding his neck from earlier. He grabs to arm of JHalc and whips him, but it is reversed and it is HHH619 that goes shooting off the ropes instead. JHalc stands in the centre of the ring, bending down, waiting for HHH619 to rebound off...which he does. HHH619 then does something rather unexpected - he manages to jump round JHalc and actually gains his balance sitting on his shoulders! JHalc then stands up slowly and suddenly HHH619 realises that what he just did wasn't exactly the greatest idea in the world. JHalc was now in total control, even with HHH619 hurtling rights into the top of JHalc's head. But before JHalc can decide what to do with HHH619 on top of him, he is quickly grabbed from behind by DC Hennig, locks both of his hands round his waist and then sends both JHalc and HHH619 on top of him flying backwards through the air courtesy of a German Suplex! The crowd suddenly give off the classic "OHHHHHH!", as JHalc lands flat on his upper back and neck region and HHH619 is sent flying through the top and middle ropes to the outside of the ring! DC Hennig is now also flat on his back, gripping onto his heavily braced knee, as the crowd then begin the "THAT WAS AWESOME!!!" chant! Flare and David begin to shout at their respective partners on the ring apron, as Prototype looks on in dismay with one hand on his head. Now the crowd is spurring DC on to make that oh so...Phenomenal tag...

Cedar; Dear LAWD! I have NEVER...EVER seen a German suplex like that in my life!

Bull; I think HHH619 is dead!

...JHalc manages to crawl over to his corner, where he met with the sound of a slap on his back, as his partner Evan Flare makes the tag and gets into the ring. DC is desperately reaching out for the tag as well. He is centimetres away...the fingers almost touching...he makes one last gasp effort to lunge forward and slap the hand of his home town boy partner...when DC is smashed from behind with a a double elbow from Evan Flare, who the gets right back up, drags DC into the middle of the ring and then begins the beat down of stomps to the injured knee of DC Hennig. David's hands is put back on the top rope and he stomps the floor in anger. His partner is in real trouble now. Flare grabs the injured right leg of Hennig, kicks it once more and then lays it on the bottom rope. He grabs the top rope, stands over the exposed kneem leaps high into the air and drops down right on top of the knee with a Seated Senton. DC immediately screams in pain, grabbing hold of his knee trying to put a halt to the agony. Flare then, once again, drags DC into the centre of the ring via his leg and then locks in a very precise Half Boston Crab, kneeling down on one knee in order to deliver more punishment, wrenching right back at the knee. Oblivious to Flare in the ring, HHH619 is now back on his feet and climbs the top turnbuckle. HHH619 comes flying off and nails Flare in the back of the head with a Double Axe Handle, breaking the submission move in the process. The crowd applaud this, with David and Emma looking somewhat pleased with it too. HHH619 is now looking pretty angry, and still hurting from the insane German Suplex combo from earlier. He picks up Flare via his huge afro and whips him off the ropes. Flare comes rebounding back in and HHH619 delivers a gigantic and thunderous Double A Spinebuster right to Flare in the centre of the ring. HHH619 leaps back up to his feet and launches his arms into the air, screaming at the crowd! He then tags in his tag partner and the pairing pick up Flare once more and deliver a Double DDT right to him. The ref shouts at HHH619 to get out of the ring, which he eventually does in his own time. Meanwhile, Prototype has hooked the far leg of Flare...1....2....JHalc breaks it up, which the ref takes exception too and shouts at him! Prototype tells the ref to keep JHalc out, while he heads over to DC who is now back up on his feet...albeit holding onto the top rope for support. Prototype positions DC and tries to deliver a Knee Breaker, but DC manages to elbow Prototype in the back enough to make him break the attempt. DC then pushes Prototype off the ropes and bends down, looking to hit a Back Body Drop...but Prototype delivers a really stiff kick right into the chest region of DC, who jumps up and backwards in sudden pain. As DC turns round in pain, he is met by Flare who hits one of his favourite and most devastating moves in his arsenal - The Code Breaker! The fans jump up, as DC goes flying sideways through the air and lands on his back! David and Emma shout at DC to get back up, as this could really be a big turning point in the match. Flare then gets back to his feet and turns to Prototype...who, suddenly out of nowhere, nails him with his patented TKO! Flare's face comes crashing to the mat and the momentum sends him onto his back, totally out of it! The fans, once again, jump up in shock. Surely this has to be it now! Prototype hooks both legs and leans back, locking the pin in tightly...1.....2......JHalc breaks it up AGAIN! JHalc saves the match for his SIW comrades...or just his team...but he has had enough of this. JHalc begins to brawl with Prototype and two mean trade right hands, as HHH619 then runs into the ring and begins to help out his team mate. Jhalc is managing to hold the pairing off just about, but then it gets too much. Evolution 2.0 gain full control of JHalc....but they are all making a fatal mistake; DC Hennig is the opposite side of the ring, slowly....ever so slowly...crawling towards his partner, who is just itching to get in! Emma is willing DC on, as DC looks up and can see his partner's hand reaching out in his direction. Evolution 2.0 are now in the opposite corner beginning to start a double team move on JHalc, when they suddenly hear a huge raw from the Sunderland crowd. They look at one another and then realise what just happened....DC got the tag!

Cedar; YES! There it is! Hennig got the tag and the crowd in this stadium erupts for the Heart Break Kid!

Bull; Dear Gawd, I can't hear myself moan with this noise!

As the stadium simply erupts and Cedar nearly wets himself, David Michaels enters the ring and charges right Evolution 2.0 who are now fully facing David and are looking for a double clothesline, which David ducks, stops and then nails a Pele Kick right to HHH619! Prototype sees his partner fall to the ground and goes for a swinging right to a now upright Michaels. Michaels blocks it and delivers a right of his own, followed by another. He pushes Prototype off the ropes and delivers a high Back Body Drop to him as he rebounds back. Michaels feeds off the crowd, doing a little dance and his face looking super intense, teeth clenching in the process. He then turns round, looking to take advantage of the injured Prototype, but before he can even gather himself, he is wiped out with a Spinning Wheel Kick courtesy of JHalc charging from the corner. The crowd atmosphere suddenly drops to virtual silence, as their home town boy gets taken out. Emma is on the outside looking rather worried and David may have just lost some teeth! JHalc then gets back to his feet, catching his breath in the process and calls for Flare, who is recovering on the ring apron from earlier. Flare gets into the ring and the pair whip off Michaels to the ropes. He comes running back in, Flare picks up Michaels from his side, while JHalc grabs Michaels' head and the pair drop him down with authority with a Sidewalk Slam/Reverse DDT Combo. The ref pushes Flare out of the ring, while JHalc hooks the far leg...1....2....DC breaks it up! JHalc gets to his feet and looks at DC. He doesn't appreciate the break up and the stare down from earlier begins once more. Once again, the trust issue between the two teams is tested and is also playing a big part in this match. Instead of actually concentrating on what is happening around them, the once more start a war of words. DC Hennig and JHalc appear to get along the least out of everyone. As the two trade insults...again...HHH619 is busy recovering and Chop Blocks both men down to their backs, with DC feeling it worse than JHalc. HHH619 gets back to his feet and turns round...only to face David Michaels charging towards him! HHH619 quickly bends down and launches Michaels over his head. Michaels manages to land on the second rope, clutching onto the top one and springboards backwards, back towards HHH619....but as Michaels is looking to connect with a crossbody, HHH619 leaps into the air and connects with a High Knee right to his face! Michaels' head snaps back awkwardly and he lands on the mat totally knocked out. The look on Emma's face tells the story and the fans in the front row really felt that one. HHH619 goes for the cover. It is definitely over now. He hooks the near leg.........nothing! What the heck is the ref doing? HHH619 gets up and stares at the ref...he isn't the legal man! The ONE time the ref gives a monkey's about the rules in terms of who is legal, and he chooses now? HHH619 can't believe his damn luck! He ignores the ref and bounces off the ropes, slowly, and delivers a crotch chop to his DxWo enemy...irony...and then walks in, leaps into the air and hit s picture perfect Knee Drop right to Michaels' head. The referee is quick to take charge of this, however, and positions himself in front of HHH619, trying to push him out of the ring, with no luck. Fearing that the ref could make some sort of BS call and have Evolution 2.0 disqualified, HHH619 decides not to push his luck, and does oblige to the ref's call, promptly exitting the ring and returning to his corner, just as Prorotype gets to his feet in the ring, having the wherewithal to creep behind David Michaels as Michaels struggles to get back to his feet. David Michaels does get to his feet, and Prototype goes on the offense, charging towards the Heartbreak Kid and planting his face to the mat with an incredible Throwback. With David Michaels flat on his face on the mat, and the other legal man, JHalc, nowhere to be seen, Prototype recognizes his opportunity, he can see it, he can feel number one contendership coming his way, along with HHH619, of course. Having said that, Prototype wastes no time at all, making sure that he and Michaels are the only ones in the ring, then commences to pick himself up to his feet, then dragging David Michaels up onto his as well. With both men on their feet, Proto maneuvers himself behind David Michaels, then locks in a quick Cobra Clutch, not even bothering to take the time to keep the hold locked in as he falls backwards, forcing David to fall along with him as he accomplishes part one of his finishing maneuver. Having hit the incredible Cobra Clutch Legsweep, Proto again refuses to hesitate as he continues on to the next step in his finisher. The fans hold their breath and begin to shift towards the edge of their seat as Prototype rolls David Michaels onto his stomach, while firmly staying on top of the Heartbreak Kid's back as he locks in the submission portion of his finisher, a mixed variation of a Camel Clutch and a Cobra Clutch, a move that is certainly easier to make an impact than it is to describe accurately with words. With Michaels barely holding on, the crowd watches in awe, refusing to blink so that they don't miss David Michaels dubmit, if he chooses to do so.

Cedar; Bah Gawd Bull, Prototype may very well win this contest for Evolution 2.0!

Bull; It depends on how much damage he can do with the short time he has to lock it in, Cedar. Remember, JHalc is somewhere around here, and DC Hennig and Evan Flare are on the apron... I doubt they'll want Prototype and HHH619 to win this one.

Sure enough, Bull's words of advice ring true as DC Hennig hurriedly stumbles into the ring, kicking Prototype in the side of the head and forcing Prototype to release his finishing submission maneuver. This infuriates HHH619, obviously, who then storms into the ring just as Hennig turns away to go back to his respective corner. HHH619 isn't gonna make it that easy, though, and rushes towards Hennig before he gets out of the ring, turning DC Hennig around with much force and delivering a stiff kick into his midsection, forcing DC Hennig to bend over in pain, which is exactly what HHH619 wanted. HHH619 takes advantage of Hennig's prone position, tucking Hennig's head between his legs, then hooking both arms and forcefully driving the top of Hennig's head into the mat with a devastating Pedigree that makes the crowd go insane! I mean sure, Hennig's an ultra-babyface, but so is HHH619! With damage done to both Phenomenal Showstoppa's, it looks like Evolution 2.0 is firmly in control, with Prototype beginning to pick himself up onto his feet, while HHH619 is about to head back to his corner. If anyone recognizes the position of power that Evolution 2.0 has, it's Evan Flare, and sure enough, "The Franchise" himself rushes into the ring, his attention fully focused on HHH619 as he rushes forward and delivers a stiff kick of his ow into the midsection of "The Game," forcing a virtual repeat of what HHH619 just did to DC Hennig. HHH619 bends down in pain, but rather than hooking his arms and hitting a Pedigree, Evan Flare has something different in mind, propping HHH619 up on his shoulders, then swinging him around with incredible velocity as he nails his own finishing maneuver, the F.O.D! HHH629 hits the canvas hard, landing squarely on his incredibly large nose after Flare drops him flat on his face. he hopes of the live audience, who had their heart set on a babyface team winning this bout, begins to fade after Flare hits the maneuver, as the only fresh men now in the contest are Flare, JHalc (wherever the hell he went), and Prototype, to some extent. While Flare begins to kick and shove the fallen HHH619 under the bottom rope and out of the ring, David Michaels begins to roll underneath a bottom rope himself, keeping himself somewhat hidden while Prototype gets to his feet. Flare finally kicks HHH619 out of the ring entirely, and just as he turns around, somewhat leaning on the rope behind him, he sees Prototype come flying towards him, charging like a bull and leaving Evan Flare no time to counter, forcing Flare to take a brutal Cactus Clothesline, with Prototype having the ring sense to hold on to the top rope as he goes over it, dumping Evan Flare out of the ring with HHH619 as he propels himself back into the ring by hitting the metaphorical rewind button, going back over the top rope just the way he came. Such intense, jaw-dropping action is enough to send the crowd into a complete frenzy, but what happens next makes them even more hysterical. Coming out of nowhere, JHalc returns as he must've ducked out of the ring and hid behind the steel steps after taking the Chop Block from HHH619 earlier in the contest, waiting for the absolute perfect opportunity to enter the match once more. And with Proto's back turned to JHalc, and DC Hennig beginning to try to get back to his feet, this is definitely a perfect opportunity. JHalc charges towards Proto and his a thunderous Enzui Forearm Smash, planting his forearm directly into the back of Proto's head, forcing Prototype to fall back onto the ring ropes, leaning against them as if unconscious, clearly oblivious to what just happened or who just made it happen. As David Michaels begins to pick himself up on the other side of the ring, JHalc takes a look at Evan Flare on the outside, wondering what happened to his partner. JHalc seems less concerned about that, though, once he takes notice of DC Hennig, who has his hand firmly grasping the rope as he tries to get to his feet. JHalc then does the unthinkable and tucks his "SIW ally"s head between his legs, then hooks his arms and lifts him upside down at a somewhat vertical basis. JHalc then viciously whips into a 180, planting Hennig down in the process as he nails his finishing maneuver, the Engage. The crowd looks stunned and confused; I mean, they know that DC Hennig isn't the legal man... does JHalc know that? Or was he simply sending a message to his supposed ally? While the fans ponder that, Prototype's ring instinct forces him back into the match, as he turns around, not even noticing JHalc and Hennig to his left as he stumbles forward, barely able to walk, with a blurry vision of David Michaels in his sights. JHalc takes notice of Prototype, but once Proto walks past him, JHalc thinks nothing of him, turning his attention back to DC Hennig. Meanwhile, completely catching EVERYONE off-guard, David Michaels, who appeared to be leaning on the ropes, trying to regain his composure and ignoring the remainder of his opponents, suddenly takes notice of Prototype and lunges forward with his right boot, smacking it across Proto's jaw as he nails the Sweet Chin Music! Prototype collapses to the ground, but before he hits, JHalc suddenly climbs on top of DC Hennig's motionless body and hooks the leg. The referee is torn... should he tell JHalc that DC isn't the legal man? Or should his attention be turned to David Michaels, who, either out of exhaustion or purely out of the awesomeness of such a pin, turns and falls backwards onto Prototype, his shoulders off the mat, whereas Proto's are, as he inadvertantly goes for the pinfall. The referee chooses to target the actual pin, falling to the mat with his attention directed towards David Michaels as he makes the count. 1... 2... 3!!! David Michaels has secured the pinfall! The Phenomenal Showstoppa's are the new number one contenders to the XWA Tag Team Championships! And the man celebrating it the most is... JHalc. JHalc promptly forces himself off Hennig's body, his back being turned to the ref as he clearly didn't see the call, as he is under firm belief that he just secured the victory for Death Sentence. Michaels wills himself onto his feet as he takes a look at JHalc. JHalc's jovial facial expression and movements indicate that he's thrilled about the pinfall... does that mean that JHalc is happy for David Michaels for getting the win? Was he serious about not caring who took the victory, so long as the team is from SIW? Such thoughts race across the minds of David Michaels as the crowd goes absolutely insane, knowing full well who the actual winners of the match were. Such an emotional victory is not only celebrated by the participants of the match, though... the crowd soon takes notice as a barrage of superstars begin to run down the ramp. Evan Flare too slides into the ring, as does Tyler Lawson, J Glick A, Killer J, and Kyle Kross, four of the five Team SIW members joining their SIW colleagues in the ring as they celebrate the victory, a momentous occasion in memory of Sudden Impact Wrestling... in the Xtreme Wrestling Association.

Cedar; Well Bull, I'm a little confused here... David Michaels got the pinfall, right?

Bull; As was my understanding, JHalc waited too long outside the ring and didn't even notice that DC Hennig was the legal man. David Michaels got the pinfall on Prototype, so... yeah? I think the Phenomenal Showstoppa's won... can we see a reply of that?

As Bull, Cedar, and Justin Roberts watch a replay of what just occured, the SIW wrestlers celebrate in the ring, with Kyle Kross and Tyler Lawson reviving DC Hennig, while JHalc informs Evan Flare of what just happened, and David Michaels tries to rush past J Glick A and Killer J to talk to the referee about why the Phenomenal Showstoppa's music isn't playing. Regardless, the crowd is fine celebrating an SIW victory, no matter who it is... scratch that, the loving applause from the audience begins to cease and desist once the music isn't playing and an announcement hasn't been made. Everyone is confused... who made the pinfall? Regardless, with Hennig on his feet and all of the SIW representatives in the ring (with the exception of Emma Michaels, who is now watching a replay as well), JHalc orchestrates a bit of an organized celebration. All eight men line up from one side of the ring to the other, which, from left to right, is Tyler Lawson, J Glick A, David Michaels, Evan Flare, JHalc, DC Hennig, Kyle Kross, and Killer J raising each others hands in celebration of SIW. Note that what JHalc believes is the winning team, Death Sentence, is in the center of such a celebration. However, the call is about to be made, as, after careful scrutinization of the replay of the finish of the match, the officials have come to a decision.

Justin Roberts; Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, and the new number one contenders to the XWA Tag Team Championships... David Michaels and DC Hennig, the Phenomenal Showstoppa's!!!

David Michaels' face immediately lights up as the Phenomenal Showstoppa's theme begins to blast throughout the arena, as he was sure he had gotten the pinfall for his team. The crowd goes absolutely hysterical, much happier with the official decision than they were in the uncertainty, and they make sure that the Phenomenal Showstoppa's know how much they love them, applauding as loudly as they can for their efforts. The four Team SIW members that entered the ring to celebrate with their SIW comrads look ecstatic for David Michaels and DC Hennig, while "Mr. Phenomenal" himself looks a little confused as to why it took so long for them to announce it. The less said about JHalc and Evan Flare, though, the better. Immediately breaking the little hand-in-hand celebration in the center of the ring, both Flare and JHalc snub their "allies" in favor of assaulting the referee with questions and comments as to what just happened. The referee informs them that David Michaels did in fact get the pinfall, and that the Phenomenal Showstoppa's are the number one contenders for the Tag Team Titles. The refree offers Death Sentence a chance to take a look at the replay, but they refuse... the blind rage they feel for essentially being screwed out of the pinfall is too much to overcome, and as David and DC begin to exit the ring, Death Sentence decides to expose their true colors. Flare and JHalc both charge towards the Phenomenal Showstoppa's and grab a handful of either man's hair, viciously slinging them backwards and towards the center of the ring as a beatdown is sure to commence.

Cedar; I knew it. I knew JHalc and Flare didn't give a damn about SIW taking the pinfall... they only wanted it for themselves. Those deceitful, lying bastards...

Bull; Ahh come on, Ted, JHalc was under the assumption that he won the match. Wouldn't you be mad if you --

Cedar; Oh don't you try to justify this, Eric, you know damn well that Death Sentence had this played out the whole time. They don't give a damn about SIW, they don't give a damn about the Phenomenal Showstoppa's... they had a plan, and once it didn't go their way, they just had to go and do this. Despicable.

JHalc and Flare commence to stomp mudholes in the victors of the match, showing their utter dislike for the Phenomenal Showstoppa's as Emma Michaels watches on in true horror. Kyle Kross, Killer J, J Glick A, and Tyler Lawson all stand to the side, unsure of what exactly is happening. Should they try to save their SIW colleagues from disaster at the hands of their other SIW colleagues? They were in it for the memory of the company they loved... they don't need this. But on the other hand... Evan Flare is the captain of Team SIW for the match at King of Xtreme. Should they help out their captain? Are they technically obligated to do such a thing? Such a question is answered for them, though, as Evan Flare barks orders at the four men, telling them in very ungracious terms to get off their lazy asses and beat DC Hennig and David Michaels within an inch of their lives. The four men look confused... they damn sure don't want to do this to their friends. But if they defy the orders of their captain... would they be kicked off the PPV? Then, the four men look at each other in unison, and all four grin devilish grins as the crowd is completely enthralled with this intensity, this drama, this passion. Kyle Kross, Killer J, J Glick A, and Tyler Lawson then nod in unison and charge towards Death Sentence, with Lawson and Glick flattening JHalc, and Kross and Killer J steamrolling Evan Flare. The crowd pops about as loudly as they can as the four SIW originals seem to have decided to help out the Phenomenal Showstoppa's rather than Death Sentence. The four men are quick to force Death Sentence out of the ring, kicking, stomping, and shoving JHalc and Flare under the bottom rope and onto the floor of the arena as they make their feelings towards Captain Flare (and JHalc) known to the entire XWA Universe. As Flare continues to bark orders at his "inferiors," the remainder of Team SIW look like they could care less. The four men stand in behind the ropes in front of the ramp, as Death Sentence angrily walks backwards up it, shouting profanities at the four men as they can't believe that they betrayed them. Once Death Sentence is far enough away, Emma Michaels slides into the ring, and she and the four SIW originals begin to help the Phenomenal Showstoppa's up, amidst an atmosphere of very, very satisfied fans.

Cedar; My gawd! Did you see that, Eric? Killer J, Kyle Kross, Tyler Lawson, and J Glick A have just betrayed Evan Flare, the captain of Team SIW heading into King of Xtreme!

Bull; But the question is, Cedar, does this whole scenario go deeper than this?

Cedar; What do you mean?

Bull; You heard it from the mouths of the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, the D-Generation X World Order is back... do these four gentlemen have anything to do with that?

Cedar; Wow, I... I never really thought about that, Eric...

As the commentary team question the antics of Team SIW, betraying Captain Flare and making their friendship with David Michaels and DC Hennig clear to anyone watching, the question does in fact remain to be seen. Did Kyle Kross, Killer J, J Glick A, and Tyler Lawson betray Evan Flare and JHalc in order to express their discontent towards Evan Flare as a captain of the XWA vs. SIW match at King of Xtreme? Does it go even deeper then that, with the four men betraying Death Sentence in order to hint at an alliance with the Phenomenal Showstoppa's, possibly as new recruits to the D-Generation X World Order? Or were they just helping some friends in need? All of these questions are racing in the minds of the highly satisfied XWA Universe, as DC Hennig and David Michaels are on their feet again, having the assistance of the remainder of Team SIW to hold them up properly, and the six men (and one woman) in the ring reform the organized celebration they once had with Death Sentence. From left to right, Tyler Lawson, J Glick A, David Michaels, Emma Michaels, DC Hennig, Kyle Kross, and Killer J stand tall, basking in the glow of number one contendership to the XWA Tag Team Championships, as the XWA King of Xtreme "Main Event" program goes off the air momentarily for a commercial break before the main event...

Headhunter vs. Xtreme Icon

After the TLC Tag Team Title Match

Camera pans to the backstage area following the highly-anticipated TLC Tag Team match featuring the returning New World Dominance and New Age Icons. The fans are highly amped up as they were just treated to a phenomenal match between 4 of the biggest superstars in all of XWA. As soon as we return from the action, Razor Xtreme is shown walking down the hallway. The crowd gives a very negative reaction (though not as bad as in weeks past due to his more recent recent fan track record) as Razor makes his way down the hallway, walking past a bunch of backstage personnel and XWA Superstars, such as HHH 619 and the man who he’ll be meeting inside a Bared Wire Steel Cage match later on tonight, Tyler Lawson. Lawson gives him a heated look as he passes him by in the hallway, but Razor ignores it, acting as if he were never there to begin with. The crowd bursts into a negative frenzy, however, as someone jumps Razor from behind. Pinning him against a wall and seething loudly in his face was a man that everyone absolutely loves to hate…

Justin Stoppable.

Justin Stoppable: “Hey man!”

Razor: “What? What did I do this time? Did I fuck (aired in the form of a “bleep!” on TV) your wife or something?”

Justin: “No, something far worse…”

Razor: “And what would that be?”

Justin: “You gave that sonofabitch, Headhunter, a free pass at MY expense!”

Razor: “Listen, I was just doing my job, I know you’ve had it in for me since the beginning of the KoX tournament, and you’ve been endangering everyone in the back of my locker room with your presence week in and week out, which is why I left you off the card for this week and didn’t even ask for you to show up, and if you’ve got a problem with that, you can take it up with Headhunter face-to-face.”

Crowd cheers heavily at his name being mentioned while Justin’s face grows even redder than before… you can tell he really looks pissed now.

Justin: “And what about my $1,000,000 bounty? Last week, I told… no, scratch that, I PROMISED Nate Insano that he would be walking away with $1,000,000 if he took out Headhunter right in the middle of that ring right here tonight at KoX Main Event. These loser fans would’ve had the chance to get exactly what they needed, and that is to see their absolute poser of an idol get his, and what do you do? You put him in a match with Xtreme Icon! And now, he’s not gonna get that $1,000,000 I promised him last week!”

Razor: “What’s the matter, Justin? Are you afraid to get in the ring with Nate Insano? Is that it? Come on, tough guy, spit it out!”

Justin: “No, I just wanted to know… what in the hell does Headhunter have to prove to beat someone like Xtreme Icon?”

Razor: “What does Headhunter have to prove by beating Xtreme Icon? Well, let’s see… the fact that Xtreme Icon beat you last week in the middle of that ring rings a bell! Now, here’s his chance to once again prove why he’s one step ahead of you by doing something you couldn’t last week!”

Crowd cheers heavily; not at Razor, obviously, but at his choice of words.

Justin: “For your information, Razor, I had Xtreme Icon beat last week! I was about to send him out of Paris, France in a damn hospital bed, and the only reason I didn’t was because Headhunter once again stuck his nose in my business like the parasite that he is and cost me the match! And not only that…”

Justin pauses.

Justin: “But you had the nerve to give Headhunter an XWA Title shot at King of Xtreme, and who did he beat to earn that title shot? A damn vampire of all things! You are, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst general manager I’ve ever seen!”

Razor: “You listen to me, Justin, and you listen well. In case you were too punk’d to see after Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and DC Hennig owned you last week, them and Headhunter generated the loudest damn reaction I have ever seen together! So by putting Headhunter in the XWA Title Match at King of Xtreme, I actually gave the fans what they wanted to see, and I never give the fans what they want, too, because quite frankly, most of the time, these fans don’t even know what they want! I’d say I was doing these fans a service with that move! Now, I’m sick and tired of you always getting in my face and threatening me week in and week out. You are this close to receiving a damn pink slip with your next paycheck, so if I were you, I would rethink your “trying to be the big bully of Mayhem” strategy.”

Crowd cheers loudly, again; and unusually so, with this being Razor, and all. Razor leaves the room and Justin is seen standing there, seething loudly, as we’re all used to seeing…. but just then, a moment later, Razor comes back and gets in Justin’s face yet again.

Razor: “Oh, and by the way… for your sake, Justin, if I were you, I would NOT go out there tonight after Headhunter’s match and try and cause mayhem. Heed my warning!”[/color][/b]

Crowd cheers heavily as Razor Xtreme walks away. Camera pans in on Justin’s face, who is seething furiously. The camera stays panned on him for a few seconds before cutting to David Michaels and DC Hennig of the Phenomenal Showstoppas, who are seen marching down the ramp together. The camera focuses on them for a few seconds before panning to Evan Flare & JHalc of Death Sentence, and then finally, it shows Evolution 2.0, featuring HHH 619 and Prototype, making their way down the ramp. The XWA logo then appears in the bottom left hand corner of the screen as they get ready for a commercial break.

Lemon: “Folks, we have to take a quick commercial break, but don’t go anywhere! The Triple Threat tag team match to determine the #1 contenders to the XWA Tag Team Championships is live, and it’s next!”

After the Triple Threat Tag Team Match

Camera pans to a room in the back. Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and DC Hennig are shown in the back, replaying the segment where Mayhem GM Razor Xtreme announced Headhunter as the new third participant in the XWA Title match at King of Xtreme. The crowd gives a huge pop for both of these men as they replay the biggest mark-out bit of the entire segment at the beginning of the show. Both Hennig and Angels are shown holding beer cans in hand as they watch this, and both like what they see on their screen right now for some very odd reason.

Angels: “For once, Razor has actually done something right.”

Hennig: “For once, Razor has actually…”

Henning gasps in a mocking type of way.

Hennig: “Listened to the fans.”

Angels: “He saw that the 3 of us gave the fans the biggest mark out moments of their lives last week, and now he’s putting the 3 of us in the same match at KoX for the vacant XWA Pure Championship… looks like someone’s got good eyes.”

Hennig and Angels turn around as someone comes unexpectedly barging into their locker room. Interviewer Jack Johnson comes running in with a microphone in hand. Neither man looks too delighted to have their time of posterity interrupted with an all-too-predictable interview. Jack is panting loudly as he obviously had to rush in to get a word with the two men.

Johnson: “Hello, Gabriel “Blaze” Angels, DC Hennig, you just saw it at the beginning of the show… the GM of Mayhem, Razor Xtreme, has added Headhunter to the XWA Title match at King of Xtreme, now making it a Triple Threat Match for the vacant XWA Championship. I wanted to know… does this outrage either of you in any way, shape or form?”

Angels: “That’s what we just said!”

Johnson: “Dare to elaborate on that?”

Hennig: “In case you’ve been hiding under a rock this whole time, no, it doesn’t bother us one damn bit… in fact, we’re actually both excited for the big man being thrown into the match. The 3 of us are the best Mayhem has to offer, and now, we are all competing in the same match together, think of the possibilities… DC Hennig, Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and the “Soldier of the Night,” Headhunter all in the same match together competing for the most coveted prize on Mayhem. It was a match made in Heaven if you ask me.”

Angels: “As a matter of fact…”

Angels pauses.

Angels: “Our GM, Razor Xtreme has actually invited us out for commentary during Headhunter’s match tonight against Xtreme Icon. You excited, DC?”

Hennig: “Damn straight… tonight, the two of us are getting a little preview of what we’ll be up against come King of Xtreme. Sounds like a win-win to me.”

Angels: “Anyways, we gotta go, see you around, chico!”

Hennig: “Hennig-Angels II just got a whole lot better.”

After the last segment

Camera then pans to the inside of Justin Stoppable’s locker room, who’s shown looking down at the ground, very pissed off at everything that has ensured over the course of this broadcast. After a few seconds, Justin hears a loud bang on his door. Justin abruptly gets up and goes to answer it, but as soon as he slides the door open, he immediately has the door slammed into his face before being cut off by one visibly pissed off mofo as he charges after Justin, backing him into a wall while holding him up and choking him with both hands…

Nate Insano.

Nate: “Hey man!”

Nate seethes loudly and pauses.

Nate: “Where’s my $1,000,000?!”

Justin: “Talk to Razor about it… he’s the one who booked you against J Halc instead of the man you should be facing, and annihilating here tonight, that punk ass Headhunter!”

Nate: “You promised me $1,000,000 if I took out Headhunter last week, and I did! Now where’s my money?!”

Justin: “You didn’t understand the… ttterms of the deal… *cough* *croak* that was only if you actttually beat Headhunter in a match, and I know you can.”

Nate: “I want my money goddammit!”

Justin: “Okay, fine, I’ll get you a match with Headhunter... Mayhem 6… after King of Xtreme… and when you beat him, I swear on my mother’s grave you’ll get your money!”

Nate: “Fine….”

Nate throws Justin down off the ceiling and walks away… Justin gets up, breathing huge breaths of relief as Justin leaves the room… but then a moment later, Nate comes charging back into the room. Nate runs up to Justin, grabbing him by the throat with both hands again, and once again pinning him up against the ceiling. Justin’s croaking continues as Nate once again chokes dear life out of Justin.

Nate: “But make it happen or else!”

Camera pans in on Justin as Nate goes storming out the door. The camera then takes us back to ringside with ring announcer Justin Roberts as he gets ready to announce the 3rd and highly anticipated match on the show, which sees Vendetta’s Tyler Lawson going up against the GM of Mayhem, Razor Xtreme, in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match.

After the Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match

Camera pans back to the backstage area following the brutal Barbed Wire Steel Cage match between Tyler Lawson and Mayhem GM, Razor Xtreme. The fans were treated to some hellacious and brutal spots in that match and the fans showed it with their excitement in their reactions. The fans get even more amped up, however, as the Pure Champ himself, Headhunter, is seen marching down the ramp with his Pure Title draped over his shoulders alongside his hella-beautiful manager/valet, A-Death. Hunter gives his usual blank stare down the halls, ignoring everything around him until suddenly, he is cut off by an unsuspecting stranger, who is surprisingly none too pleased to see him…

Ash Wheeler.

Wheeler: “Hey man, what the hell was that all about?”

Headhunter: “What the hell are you talking about?”

Wheeler: “Does you getting a title shot handed to you on a platter not ring any bells?”

Wheeler pauses while getting right up in Hunter’s face. The crowd buzzes wildly as the two fan favorites have a heated staredown in the hallway.

Wheeler: “I beat you fair and square in the KoX tournament… and yet somehow, you’re the one who gets the title shot! How is it that the man who beat you in the 2nd round of the KoX tournament doesn’t even have a spot on the card, whereas you get a title shot literally handed to you on a silver platter?”

Headhunter: “Well, you have Justin Stoppable to thank for that one… he was the one who ran his mouth to Razor long enough for Razor to give me what I want if I shut him up last week, and that I did, now it’s a done deal, live with it.”

Wheeler: “You “shut him up” by beating a damn vampire in only his 3rd match in XWA, how is that worthy of receiving a shot for the most coveted title on Mayhem?”

Headhunter: “Listen, you know I respect you, Wheeler, and you’re more than welcome to get in the ring with me again any time you feel like it if you’re so confident that you can beat me again. Hell, when I walk out of King of Xtreme as the new XWA Champion, I might even give you a title shot. How’s that?”

Wheeler: “That does sound good, but unlike you, I refuse to have title shots handed to me on a silver platter. I’ll outright beat somebody to earn a shot to face you for that title, I don’t care if it’s Gabriel “Blaze Angels”, DC Hennig, or even the returning McNugget, I’ll earn a shot at that title, and I’ll actually beat someone credible to do it, and when I get around to facing you again for that championship, you better believe that I’m gonna be taking what’s rightfully mine.”

Headhunter: “Fair enough, big guy… but next time, and there WILL be a “next time,” don’t think I’m gonna be holding anything back from you. You had a little beginner’s luck in the ring with me last time, but next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

Wheeler: “We’ll just see about that, big man.”

Camera pans on Headhunter as Wheeler walks away. Hunter gives Wheeler a cold stare from behind as he watches him leave. The camera stays zoomed in on Hunter and the XWA logo appears in the bottom left hand side of the screen again as they cut to a quick commercial break.

After the break

Camera pans to the inside of Headhunter’s locker room following the commercial break. Hunter is seen wearing his usual black attire. His wife was nowhere to be seen, but that was fine and dandy with the Mayhem fans, who mainly just wanted to see him, the fan favorite Pure Champ himself talk.

Headhunter: “You know, all evening long, a lot of people have been asking me… “what did I do to justify my being thrown in the XWA Title Match at King of Xtreme?” My friends, it’s simple… last week, I beat a damn vampire in the middle of that ring!”

Crowd gives another hellacious pop for the Soldier of the Night as he once again pauses, sucking in the energy of the fans in accordance with his little speech.

Headhunter: “And let me assure you all… that my victim of last week was no poser, no actor, no glorified stunt man clad in emo-gothy make up. That was the real deal, and I’ve got the bite marks here to prove it!”

Headhunter flashes his arm in front of the camera close enough for it to catch a good glimpse of the bite that Dante Cross gave him last week when he had him in the Anaconda Vice.

Headhunter: “And I know that that was a real vampire… a mere poser would not have handed me my ass as badly as Dante Cross did last week, not that it matters… because Count Dracula himself, on his best day, would not have beaten me last week. That’s how good I am, and that’s why I deserve to be in the XWA Title match at King of Xtreme. Hell, you can say that I am the absolute best at what I do… and that is take names, kick ass, and show no mercy!”

Headhunter poses.

Headhunter: “Now you all know why I can never be in a Twilight film… everyone on the face of this planet knows that I would single-handedly take that little sparkly pixie, Edward, and smash his pretty little face in, and after that, none of the little fangirls would ever dare look at him the same way again, that I guarantee!”

Headhunter pauses as he looks down at the table nearby. The camera pans in on him and sees him picking up something off of it. Hunter then grabs it and flashes it in front of the camera… Headhunter shows the front cover of Entertainment Magazine with Robert Pattinson posing as Edward Cullen to promote the new Twilight Move, “New Moon” which generates an unusual pop—some unusually booing with his choice of words, with those boos coming from little girls in attendance, all Twilight fangirls.

Headhunter: “Yes, as much as I capture many women’s hearts with my million dollar body, movie-star good looks, and black belt-caliber fighting abilities inside that ring… I can also just as easily break their hearts.”

Crowd gives another somewhat mixed reaction—more cheers than boos, though—as Headhunter once again pauses, taking some time to clear his throat. As he does, he throws the Entertainment Magazine down on the floor before looking back up at the camera with the same serious look, as usual.

Headhunter: “And at King of Xtreme, when I walk out of with both the Pure Championship and the XWA Championship over my shoulders, in just my second PPV here in XWA, and I WILL walk out as the new XWA Champion… you all will know why I am the Soldier of the Night!”

Crowd cheers loudly while Headhunter pauses once again.

Headhunter: “Which brings me to tonight… Xtreme Icon, you and I have some history together, and this goes back a bit… on the first ever episode of Mayhem, live at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, it was you and I competing for this first ever Pure Championship…”

Hunter pauses while he peeks toward his side towards the Pure Championship that’s draped over his right shoulder before looking back at the camera.

Headhunter: “Along with two other men, or should I say, monsters… The Deadman, now long gone… and Justin Stoppable.”

Crowd boos loudly at the last name in that list being mentioned.

Headhunter: “That night, 4 men gave everything they got for a chance to walk away with this…”

Hunter looks down at his Pure Championship again.

Headhunter: “But only one man walked away that night with gold around his shoulder… “The Soldier of the Night,” Headhunter.”

Crowd gives another crazy pop as Hunter grabs his Pure Championship belt and hoists it up high in the air with his right hand, showing it off for everyone in Sunderland, England to see.

Headhunter: “And on that night, it just so happens… that you were the man who I pinned to win this championship, and etch my place in XWA history by becoming the first ever XWA Pure Champion. Tonight, you and I are facing each other again, but not for titles this time… but for a bit of bragging rights, and believe me, tonight, it’s gonna be de-ja vu all over again! Xtreme Icon, you better brace yourself, because tonight…”

Headhunter pauses while he gets ready for his signature catch phrase…

Headhunter: “YOUR TIME TO SUFFER HAS JUST BEGUN!”

Camera zooms in on Hunter’s face as he gives that signature roll-eyes-into-back-of-head pose. As he does, the crowd gives another frenzied pop and the XWA logo appears in the bottom left hand corner of the screen as they cut to the interviewing room with Jack Johnson

@ The Interviewing Room

Johnson: “Standing by me at this time is the man who, in just a few minutes, will be going up against Headhunter in singles competition. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Xtreme Icon!”

Crowd cheers loudly as the camera pans toward the right hand side and catches a glimpse of Icon’s face. You could tell, just by looking at him, that he was pumped and ready for this match as he’s in his usual state-of-mind, maybe even a little bit more amped than usual. The camera pans away just enough to catch both him and interviewer, Jack Johnson, in the same scene.

Johnson: “Xtreme Icon, you’re just minutes away from going up against the man who you faced for the Pure Championship on the first ever episode of Mayhem, and the current reigning Pure Champion himself, Headhunter. I just wanted to know if we could get any last words before your match.”

Icon: “Indeed, Headhunter…”

Icon pauses.

Icon: “We do go back a long way, and this does bring us back to the first ever Pure Championship match on the premiere episode of Mayhem. You and I together both fought through many obstacles until it was down to you and me in the middle of that ring at the end of the match. I remember the end of that match, and I’ve been replaying it in my mind as I laid back, reflecting upon that eventful night. I remember setting you up for the H Factor, and you countering it into the Beheader, and then the 1, 2, 3… those memories lay fresh in my mind to this very day, and it’s haunted me daily ever since. Now, here’s my chance for a little payback.”

Icon pauses as he takes this time to pick something valuable off the floor.

Icon: “All those times I’ve smashed somebody’s head in with this here kendo stick…”

Icon pauses as he shows—by demonstration—how extreme he is by whacking his kendo stick into the wall and snapping the top of it off in a single move. Icon then looks back into the camera, with more intensity in his eyes than ever before… you could tell that he really was determined tonight, and the fans were eating it up as they begin to cheer him loudly in the background through the arena walls.

Icon: “Will pale in comparison to what I’m gonna do to you tonight, Headhunter. Tonight I’ll re-write history and avenge my loss to you for the first ever Pure Championship on the first ever episode of Mayhem. Mark my words, Headhunter, and mark them well… tonight is the night Razor Xtreme will regret ever giving you an XWA Title shot… hell, you might not even make it to King of Xtreme when I’m done with you, that’s how badly I’m gonna cripple you here tonight. Tonight, you’re not gonna be leaving here in a stretcher, you’re not gonna be leaving here on a damn cross, you’re gonna be leaving here in a coma!”

Icon pauses while the crowd cheers him on in the background.

Icon: “And when it’s all said and done, you and Justin will have one more thing in common… you both will have tapped out… to the Xtreme Icon!”

Xtreme Icon is seen walking away. Camera then pans toward Headhunter in the back, getting ready for his big match against Xtreme Icon as we gear up for another commercial break.

After the break.

Camera pans back toward the arena stands as many fans in attendance are extremely amped up for this next match. They begin to cheer the roof off of the arena as the camera pans to ring announcer Justin Roberts to announce the beginning of the next matchup.

But before the beginning of the challenger’s entrances, the crowd erupts into immediate cheers as a familiar theme hits the PA…



However, that TitanTron and music is immediately replaced with…



As both Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and DC Hennig are shown making their way out of the entrance way to join Mayhem commentators Chet Lemon and Black Snow on commentary. The crowd cheers the hell out of both of them as they each come down the ramp side-by-side—Angels on the left and Hennig on the right—slapping hands with various fans as they extend their arms outward toward the 2 huge fan favorites. Both men walk over towards the announce table and are kindly greeted by play-by-play commentator Chet Lemon and color commentator Black Snow (well, not so much Black Snow).

Lemon: “Joining us on commentary for this match is none other than the other two men who will be competing for the vacated XWA Championship at King of Xtreme, Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and DC Hennig. Gabriel, DC, it’s a pleasure to have you guys on commentary.”

Hennig: “No, the pleasure is ours. We’re just delighted that we get the chance to observe our other opponent at KoX in a triple threat match, the Pure Champion, Headhunter.”

Lemon: “Well, have a seat and pop a squat next to the big guys!”

Black Snow scoots further down the other end of the announce table as GBA and Hennig sit down right in between the two Mayhem commentators. Both men put head sets over their heads and keep their eyes pealed down the beginning of the ramp as they await the beginning of this much-anticipated matchup, while the fans behind the barricade behind them cheer them on. The camera then pans to Justin Roberts in the ring to announce the beginning of the match.

Justin Roberts: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall…”



The fans erupt into loud cheers and applause as several bright spotlights begin to flash over the arena while “American Badass” by Kid Rock hits the PA. Several flashing white lights are seen in the stands as fans start to take pictures almost nonstop as they keep their eyes focused at the top of the entrance way as the Xtreme Icon comes marching out of the entrance way holding a large Singapore cane over his head. As he does, the crowd immediately erupts into loud cheers as he generates the crowd with his Sandman-esque mannerisms. Icon digs into his left pocket and pulls out a can of beer and gets the crowd buzzing wildly as he opens it up and begins to chug it right before bashing the can into his forehead. The lights come back on as he turns around and marches down the ramp with a sergeant-like expression streaming on his face. The fans cheer him on wildly as Icon makes his way down the ramp. As he makes his way down the ramp, the fans extend their arms out to him, and getting to tap the man’s shoulder was the XWA faithful and these magnificent fans here in Sunderland, England. Icon is wearing his usual attire consisting of a pair of blue and white Nikes, a pair of Wrangler blue jeans, and has both of his fists taped up with white tape over his knuckles. He also has white tape strapped around his ribs where he was dropped onto the anvil case. Icon stares into the ring as he makes the very first entrance in this matchup.

Roberts: “Making his way to the ring, first, from Great Falls, Montana, weighing in at 240 pounds… “THE XTREME ICON!”

Lemon: “And here comes the Xtreme Icon as he gets ready to do battle with the man who beat him to win the Pure Championship, the “Soldier of the Night,” Headhunter.”

Hennig: “This should make for an interesting matchup. Icon knows he’s the underdog here, and he wants to prove why he should be in the main event by scoring an upset win over Headhunter momentarily.”

Lemon: “And just think of the ramifications that would put on the Pure Champion if Xtreme Icon walked out of here tonight with the W over the new #1 contender to the XWA Championship. It would cause him to lose a hell of a lot of credibility come King of Xtreme.”

Snow: “Well, you better get ready for it because that’s exactly what’s going to happen, Chet Lemon, I guar-damn-tee it!”

Icon makes his way down to the rail an hops onto it. He holds his cane high in the air before hopping down from the rail onto the ringside floor. Icon stares into the empty ring and makes his way up towards it. Icon slaps the hands of a few fans, high fiving them before hopping up to the apron and holding his cane over his head for a few seconds and then hopping over the top rope and into the ring. He keeps his eyes pealed onto the top of the entrance way, with the same intense stare he's had throughout the entrance itself. Icon climbs to the middle turnbuckle and holds his cane over his head one more time before doing a backflip off the middle turnbuckle. Icon then gets in the middle of the ring and waiting patiently for the arrival of his opponent as his music begins to fade out. Icon sets his cane down in the corner and stares down the ramp. The crowd starts to roar with hot, gleeful anticipation before the opening seconds of the challenger’s music and entrance.

Then suddenly…



The crowd immediately rise to their feet upon the sound of the opening drum beats to Megadeth’s “Crush ‘Em” blaring over the PA system, and right from the start of his heart-pumping theme music, the crowd starts to go crazy, already letting out the by far biggest pop of the night thus far as they stand together in unison, gearing up for the entrance of the Pure Champ! Immediately after the opening guitar riffs hit, a huge flame pyro explodes in the air above the TitanTron, which ignites the lowering of Hunter’s signature skull symbol from the rafters. In light of this, the crowd’s already earth-shattering cheers start to grow even louder as Headhunter then steps out of the red smoke alongside his lovely manager/valet, A-Death. Hunter is clad in his long black leather jacket, draped all the way down to his knees, over his signature black singlet with his trademark white skull symbol embedded onto it, black gloves covering his powerful fists, and black elbow and knee pads built onto his tights around the shin area, but above all else was his most prized position in his Pure Championship, which was draped over his right shoulder. Hunter and A-Death both look toward each side, and bare witness to the hellacious ovation both of them generate via their presence alone! After the opening riffs, Hunter picks the Pure Championship belt off of his right shoulder and raises it up high in the air while screaming to the fans. The fans, of course, return the gesture with some of the biggest pops of anyone on the Mayhem roster as they are going absolutely bananas! Hunter then proceeds to make his slow march down the ramp as both him and Icon stare eachother down, not waiting to get their hands on eachother after the very first epic battle they had together in the first ever Pure Championship match on the first ever edition of Mayhem.

Roberts: “And his opponent, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 326 pounds… he is the current XWA Pure Champion… “The Soldier of the Night,” HEADHUNTER!”

Lemon: “And here comes the Pure Champ and the newly-added third man in the XWA Championship match at King of Xtreme!”

Angels: “These two men can’t wait to get their hands on each other. There’s so much at stake for both of these men, Xtreme Icon wanting to avenge his Pure Title loss to Headhunter, and Headhunter wanting to prove why he deserves to be facing me and DC Hennig for the Pure Championship at King of Xtreme. Should be a good one.”

“Intro the arena, and hear the light…” the opening lyrics blare over the PA as Hunter makes his way down the ramp. As he does, he is met with fans, who immediately get up and extend their hands over the barricade towards the reigning Pure Champ, looking to get a high five, but Hunter ignores it and continues to make his usual slow march down the ramp, and the fans manage to tap the big man on his shoulders instead… “Step up now, you’re in for a ride…” Headhunter keeps his eyes pealed on Icon, who returns the gesture with the same vicious smirk he always wears as he waits eagerly for Hunter to get in the ring with him. “This is war, ain’t no fun and games… we get up you go down in flames”… Hunter has now reached the ringside area, and slowly turning toward the left as he then proceeds toward the steel steps, with A-Death making sure to blow the fans standing right nearby some saucy kisses while her man “does her thing”. “Goin’ tight, goin’ down… you better not try and mess us around… the stakes are high, take a hit or stay, the price is right, someone’s gonna pay”. Headhunter then makes his way up the steel steps, very slowly stepping up them in light of the Undertaker from whom this entrance was based loosely off of. “Heads I win, tails you lose… out of my way I’m coming through”, Headhunter has now made it all the way up the steps, and gives Icon an evil stare as he gets ready for the most entertaining part of his entrance. Hunter then raises both arms up high in the air, and as he does, a loud bang is heard as the lights return to the arena, which generates another hella-crazy pop from this rambunctious crowd. “Roll the dice, and don’t think twice, we crush, CRUSH! Crush em, CRUSH EM!” Headhunter then places his left foot over the ring ropes, and then his right, and steps over the ropes to get in the ring, using his massive size to his advantage. Hunter stares Icon down in the middle of the ring, who remains seated in the corner as he awaits the opening bell. Hunter then promply slides his black leather coat off and sets it aside. A-Death grabs his jacket and holds onto it on the outside as she patiently awaits the opening bell. Hunter then takes the Pure Title off his shoulder and hands it to the referee, who holds it up high, signifying that the match is about to begin, and then promptly sets it aside. Icon starts encircling around the ring near the corner, looking Hunter dead in the eyes as he does as the two engage in a heated staredown as Hunter’s music begins to die down.

DING DING DING!

The bell sounds and the match is underway.

Hunter swings with a right hand, but Icon ducks under and charges at the ropes behind him. Icon bounces off the ropes and charges at Hunter. As Hunter turns around, he is immediately caught right in the face with a Flying Forearm right to the face. Hunter staggers backwards a few steps, nearly off balance as he is left reeling from that hit. Hunter charges at Icon, but as he does, Icon drops low, and catches Hunter right in the shins with a Low Drop Kick to the knee. Hunter falls on one knee and shouts as he feels a sharp pain in his right shin. Icon quickly gets up to a vertical base. As he does, he grabs Hunter’s head and tucks it right under his arm pit, then immediately plants him with a DDT right near the bottom rope. Hunter rolls onto his spine, shielding his head with both arms as he felt his head smash hard against the canvas. Icon takes advantage of the big man being down and out and charges at the ropes in front of Hunter. Icon jumps over Hunter’s prone body and then jumps onto the middle rope. Icon then backflips off of them, and plants Hunter with a Springboard Moonsault right on top of the fallen Headhunter. Icon covers him…

Hunter quickly gets the shoulder up after 2!

Icon grabs a chunk of Hunter’s hair then drags him up to a vertical base. Icon picks Hunter up and locks Hunter in a front facelock before backing him into the nearby ropes. Icon then hits Hunter with a vicious European Uppercut, which sends Hunter reeling backward. Icon then gives him another, and another to the same effect. Icon then attempts to hit Hunter with an Irish Whip off the ropes, but Hunter swings and reverses into an Irish Whip of his own. Icon is redirected at the ropes in front of him and he bounces off of them. Icon charges back at Hunter and as he does, Hunter lifts a boot up, and tries to take his head off with a vicious Big Boot to the face, but Icon athletically ducks under it and charges at the ropes behind Hunter. Icon once again redirects off the ropes and charges at Hunter. As he does, he dives at Hunter, doing a complete 180 spin in midair before locking his legs around Hunter’s waist in a Bodyscissors. Icon then dips up and, grabbing Hunter by the hair, takes him down with a Flying Mare right to the mat. Icon then locks Hunter in a Side Headlock from the guard position while on the mat. Hunter is trapped momentarily, seemingly with nowhere to go, while the crowd buzzes in the background, willing the big man on. Finally, after 10 seconds of this, Hunter slowly makes it to a vertical base. Hunter then grabs Icon by the side, and drags him down to the mat with a Belly-to-back Takedown. Hunter holds onto Icon, though, and gets Icon into a waistlock from this position. Hunter has Icon trapped momentarily, but Icon soon manages to make it up to a vertical base. Both men walk around the ring, with Icon grabbing both of Hunter’s wrists as he has them locked tightly around Icon’s waist. Icon soon manages to grab Hunter’s right arm and counter the waistlock hold into an Arm Twist. Hunter stalls momentarily while Icon works the arm. Hunter, though, does a front flip in front of Icon, and then athletically jumps takes him down with a Judo-style Flying Armbar.



Hunter has it locked in tight momentarily and pulls hard on Icon’s arms. Icon screams in pain while he’s held onto the mat with nowhere to go as the much larger, stronger man holds him down. Icon, though, realizing he’s not gonna break out of it by brute force, instead rolls Hunter up into a Schoolboy pin attempt…

1…

But Hunter uses his strength (and athleticism) to roll out of it and drag Icon right along the mat right with him. Hunter has Icon trapped in a Side Headlock of his own while on the mat, keeping him trapped right where he is. Icon screams in pain while he desperately looks for a way out. Icon soon makes it up to a vertical base and desperately whips Hunter into the ropes. Hunter bounces off the ropes behind him and charges back at Icon. Icon hits him with an Armdrag Takedown. Icon then gets Hunter in a Japanese Armbar on the mat. The crowd buzzes vividly at the amazing display of mat wrestling ability by both of these men. Hunter is trapped for a few seconds, but then athletically flips over Icon’s shoulders and appears behind him. Hunter gets Icon into another Waistlock position and once again leaves him with nowhere to go, but then Icon strategically lunges toward the nearby ropes. Icon drives himself stomach first off the nearby ropes and using the momentum from them rolls backward while dragging Hunter onto the mat. Icon rolls right behind Hunter and quickly grabs him by the waist. Icon has Hunter trapped in a Waistlock of his own now flat center in the middle of the ring, then drags him down to the mat with a Waistlock Takedown. Hunter desperately reaches toward the nearby ropes as Icon lifts Hunter up to a vertical base. Icon tries to hoist Hunter up in a German Suplex, but Hunter uses his large frame to block it. Hunter takes a few steps toward the center of the ring, with Icon desperately trying to flip him over, and in an amazing display of athleticism, throws both men across the center of the ring with a Uchimata Makikomi ju-jitsu throw, landing right on top of Icon as he now lays in the middle of the ring right on top of him!



Hunter grabs one of Icon’s nearby arms, and then turns him over, locking him in a Fujiwara Armbar submission! Hunter pulls tightly on Icon’s left arm and Icon screams in pain as he has him trapped momentarily. Icon, though, soon athletically rolls Hunter over onto his back counter-clockwise in another Schoolboy pin attempt position, but instead of covering him, he picks Hunter up by the leg using his free arm and hoists Hunter up with it, hitting him with a stunning Fisherman Suplex, which shook the mat on impact. Hunter arches over on his back while grabbing his spine in pain as his body planted the mat hard. Icon holds onto Hunter’s legs while on the mat, though and rolls and picks him up to a vertical base, holding him. Icon takes his right arm off of Hunter’s left leg and instead wraps both arms around Hunter’s midsection. Icon then screams before graciously hoisting the big man up over his shoulders, then charges forward before planting Hunter with a hard Running Powerbomb flat center in the middle of the ring! The crowd could seemingly hear the mat shake from a mile away as he drilled Hunter right into the ring with all of his might! Hunter was feeling the effects of that one as he arches over in pain, once again grabbing his punctured spine. Icon picks Hunter up by the skull to a vertical base again and holds him in place. Icon gives Hunter a vicious Knife-Edged Chop across the chest, which was also so loud everyone in attendance heard it! The crowd responds with a gracious “WOO!” chant, courtesy of the “Nature Boy,” Ric Flair. Hunter, meanwhile, turns around and staggers toward the canvas, grabbing his chest in pain as Icon chopped the hell out of the Soldier of the Night with that hard knife-edged chop! Icon charges at Hunter as he has his back turned. Hunter turns around and receives a hard kick to the gut by the former #1 contender to his Pure Championship, causing Hunter to arch his back over. Icon picks Hunter up by the legs in a belly-to-belly position, then runs toward the ropes with him in his grasp and gives Hunter a Scoop Slam into the corner, leaving Hunter hanging upside down over the turnbuckle like a bat! Icon backs away toward the opposite end of the ring as he sets Hunter up for what is sure to be a devastating spot. Icon then charges at the upside down Hunter in the corner and gives him a Baseball Slide right to the neck! Hunter falls off the top turnbuckle and falls flat on his stomach. He then closes his eyes, squinting as he feels a sharp pain in his ribcage from that spot.

Lemon: “Xtreme Icon with a baseball slide right to the hanging Headhunter, knocking him right off the top turnbuckle!”

Snow: “Shades of last week, Chet!”

Hennig: “Xtreme Icon has the slight mobility advantage over the Pure Champion, but he knows that he must find a way to put Hunter away quickly because he can strike pretty much at random, and strike harder than anyone else in the back at that.”

Icon picks Hunter up to a vertical base and puts him in an inverted facelock position. He then climbs up the top turnbuckle and screams to another big pop as soon as he reaches the top rope. Icon then leaps off the top rope, and plants Hunter with a Tornado DDT, which shook the mat once again!

Icon hooks the leg…

Kickout at 2 ½!

Icon picks Hunter up by the hair and pulls him up. Icon gets Hunter in an inverted headlock position before viciously assaulting him with hard overhand smashes to the spine. Hunter lingers in pain as Icon begins to slowly take the power game away from the very durable—and very deadly on his feet—Headhunter. Icon holds him in place, though, and keeps him from going anywhere before viciously planting him with a Backbreaker. Before Hunter can make any kind of moving reaction, though, Icon keeps him where he is and grabs him from the back of his head again. Icon then reaches in front of him and wraps his arms around his neck, thus locking him in a Sleeperhold. Hunter waves his arms in front of his face repeatedly as he desperately tries to fight out of this, to no avail. A matter of seconds later, however, Hunter tactfully arches over and pushes Icon onto his shoulders. Hunter then tries to plant Icon with an Electric Chair Drop face first into the conveniently-located nearby turnbuckle pad, but Icon grabs onto the ropes, thus saving his face from being smashed into the hard turnbuckle pad. Hunter spins Icon around from his ankles in an attempt to throw him off of the corner, but Icon lands safely on the corner turnbuckle pad in a split-legged position. Icon then gets up while up top, in a full standing position with his back facing towards Hunter. Hunter tries to give him a right hand smash to the spine, but Icon cunningly does a full backflip off the corner. He then drops down right onto Hunter, and drills him to the mat with a Moonsault into a Reverse DDT, flattening him onto the mat! Icon reaches over and hooks the leg…

Kickout at 2 ½!

Icon gets up and charges at the prone Hunter immediately after kicking out, hitting him with an Elbow Drop right to the gut, which sent Hunter arching his back on the mat and grabbing his gut in pain. Icon then picks Hunter up to a vertical base in a front facelock position and gives him a hard kick to the gut. Hunter arches his back over in pain while Icon grabs his forehead with his left hand and with the other begins to open up on him with repeated mounted right hand shots to the forehead, rattling Hunter with each one. After 5 right hand shots to the head, Icon lets go of Hunter and Hunter turns around arches his back over after being rattled repeatedly with those hard right hands. With Hunter’s back conveniently facing him, Icon charges at Hunter from behind, hitting him with a vicious running kick to the hamstring, causing Hunter to limp off of it! Hunter limps around, staggering on one foot as Icon punctured his left hamstring! Icon continues to work the leg, continually hitting him with repeated shots to the hamstrings. After 5 hamstring kicks, Icon charges off the ropes beside of him and bounces off of them. Icon charges at Hunter and hits him with a Swinging Neckbreaker, but Icon holds on and lifts Hunter up while having him in a front facelock position. Icon then picks Hunter up, and hits a quick Snap Suplex, but Icon still holds onto Hunter and flips back onto his stomach in the guard position. Icon picks Hunter back up and underhooks both arms before picking him up and hitting a Double Underhook Suplex, but Icon still manages to hold on after hitting that and turns him onto his back. Icon then grabs Hunter’s left leg and picks him up, hitting a Belly-to-Back Suplex in what was simply a modified version of his deadly 3 Amigos suplex combo. Hunter arches his back in pain, again grabbing his spine, but he can’t even manage to hold himself in this position as he then falls flat on his stomach, lifeless.

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon hits the 3 Amigos and is dominating Headhunter here in the early going in this match!”

Snow: “Shades of last week in his match against Dante Cross, Chet, only this time, Hunter will not get lucky and find a way to come back and win!”

Angels: “In my new KoX opponent’s defense, Dante Cross dominated Headhunter at just about every turn last week only to find himself being dragged out of the ring hung to a cross courtesy of the new #1 contender to the vacated XWA Title last week.”

Icon turns Hunter around and covers him again…

Hunter gets the shoulder up at 2 ½!

Icon picks Hunter up by the hair and brings him down to the mat with a Headlock Takedown, pinning him to the mat in this position. Icon screams in pain, trying to disenfranchise Hunter while the crowd—and his own manager, A-Death—wills him on in the background. Hunter looks ready to pass out as Icon has his arms wrapped tightly around his skull, squeezing dear life out of it. After 10 seconds of struggling to get out, Hunter gets to his knees, and then slowly pulls himself back up to a vertical base. Hunter gives Icon a hard elbow to the gut, loosening the hold, but Icon manages to hold on. Hunter gives him another, loosening it even more so, but still hasn’t quite managed to break free yet. Finally, Hunter looks down at Icon’s hamstrings and grabs his right hamstring. Hunter grabs it and lifts him up from it, giving him a Shinbreaker for all of his trouble. Icon wobbly stumbles toward the ropes as Hunter shattered his right hamstring with that powerful crunching maneuver! Hunter charges at Icon, trying to Clothesline him over the top rope, but Icon sees him coming and gives him a Drop Toe-Hold, placing his chin against the middle rope. Icon gets up and charges at the ropes behind him while Hunter is in a vulnerable position. Icon charges off the ropes and runs and hits Hunter with a Back Senton right across the spine. Hunter falls off the middle rope like a tree and arches his back in pain, attending to his ruptured spine once again as he was flatlined by that huge spot!

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon leveling Headhunter with that Back Senton!”

Snow: “His face tells the whole story here, Chet, Headhunter once again is being dominated by the much better man tonight. Let’s face it: he’s nowhere near as great as everyone makes him out to be.”

Hunter soon groggily gets to a vertical base while Icon once again stalks his prey and turns around and faces him. Icon then gives Hunter a huge Standing Dropkick, which sends Hunter tumbling right through the middle rope and onto the apron. Hunter cringes in pain as he’s slow to get up from all the punishment received at the hands of the Xtreme Icon earlier. All this time, Icon waits near the opposite end of the ropes, stalking his prey as he waits for the big man to get up to a vertical base. After 10 seconds, Hunter groggily gets to his feet, at which point Icon charges at Hunter, and gives him a vicious Spear, which sent Hunter flying off the apron and crashing spine first onto the ringside barricade!

Lemon: “Xtreme Icon speared Hunter off the apron and right into the ringside barricade!”

Snow: “It’s always great to see that sorry ass Headhunter get leveled like that, Chet Lemon! I freaking love it!”

Hunter grabs his spine and howls in pain as he was leveled into the hard ringside barrier. The ref then does a count… 1… 2… 3… 4… Hunter slowly gets up to his knees, as he does, Icon bounces off the opposite ropes again… 5… 6… Hunter gets up to a vertical base, but as soon as he does, Icon dives through the middle rope and takes him down with a gracious Flip Dive, laying both men out on the outside. Both men are lying unconscious next to each other on the floor while the crowd chants “holy shit!” repeatedly.

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon with a Flip Dive to the outside, taking Headhunter out much like we’ve seen last week against Justin Stoppable!”

Hennig: “If there’s one thing Xtreme Icon has his way with, it’s how best to deal with big guys who, often times, can easily negate high flying techniques of much smaller opponents than themselves. Headhunter’s most certainly got to watch for that.”

The ref does a new count while both men are laid out on the outside… 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… Icon gets up and charges back towards the apron… 6… 7… Icon rolls back inside to reset the count and then immediately back out onto the apron. Icon stays on the apron, though, and grabs onto the ropes. Icon looks behind him, waiting for Hunter to get up to a vertical base. Finally, after 5 seconds, Hunter does so and he gets up. Icon jumps onto the top rope, then backflips to the outside, trying to take Hunter down with a Springboard Moonsault, but Hunter catches him in midair, showing to the world his brute strength! Hunter scoops Icon up over his shoulders and charges at the steel post, trying to ram Icon face first into it, but Icon falls safely behind Hunter’s shoulders and pushes Hunter face first into the steel post and Hunter goes ricocheting face-first off of it instead! Icon picks Hunter up by the hair and rolls him back into the ring. Icon covers him…

Hunter gets the shoulder up at 2 ½!

Icon picks Hunter up by the skull and plants him with a hard right hand. Hunter staggers back, but in a sudden burst of offensive firepower, recovers and fires back at Icon with a hard right hand of his own! Icon reels, but returns the favor with another right hand, and then Hunter gives him a right hand. After 2 hard right hands, Icon can’t even fight back as he is being overpowered playing the striking game with the much stronger man. Hunter gets in a 3rd consecutive right hand, and then a 4th, and a 5th. Icon, visibly shaken by the powerful striking game of the former jiu jitsu black belt, tries to hit Hunter with another right hand across the face, but Hunter catches his right hand in midair. Icon looks back at Hunter with a somewhat intimidated look as Hunter holds him in place by the wrist. Hunter looks at Icon with a clear-cut impression of wanting to do damage on his face as Icon is now at the mercy of Hunter’s powerful grasp, and the crowd is buzzing wildly, loving every second of this. Hunter then twists Icon’s wrists, and Icon closes both eyes, screaming in pain as he is having his wrist yanked by the powerful arm of the Pure Champion! Hunter then hoists Icon up in the air by the wrist before pulverizing him with a vicious Flapjack Gutbuster into the muscle-bound knees of the Soldier of the Night! Icon closes his eyes and gasps, looking as if he literally had the wind knocked out of him with that move. Hunter holds onto Icon, however, and grabs him by his sides. Hunter hits a Gutwrench Suplex on Xtreme Icon. Hunter moves onto the prone Icon from the guard position and reaches over Icon’s head. Hunter then locks him in his new Can Opener submission that he used last week in his match against Dante Cross to a huge pop!



Lemon: “There it is! Headhunter’s got Xtreme Icon locked in the Can Opener submission that we saw last week in his match against Dante Cross!”

Snow: “No, he’ll get out of it, trust me!”

Icon looks like he is about to tap out, but Icon sees that his head is conveniently placed just inches away from Hunter’s and gives Hunter a couple of vicious head buts, causing Hunter to break the hold. Hunter staggers back and takes a breather right near the top rope, placing one hand over his punctured head as Icon slowly gets up to a vertical base. Icon gets up and charges at the fallen Hunter. Hunter looks up just in time to see Icon charge right into him. Icon tries to drill Hunter with another Spear right near the bottom rope, but Hunter grabs onto Icon’s side as his body collides with his and, dragging him down to the mat, reverses it into a Kimura Lock to a huge pop!

Lemon: “What a counter by the Pure Champion, Headhunter!”

Snow: “No way!”

Lemon: “Headhunter reversed the Spear into a Kimura Lock, and the Xtreme Icon once again finds himself in a vulnerable position here!”

Snow: “No way, get out, Icon!”

Iron screams in pain as Hunter has him trapped helplessly in the Kimura, while the crowd cheers graciously in the background! For the longest time, Icon is not even moving and looks like he’s about to submit, but finally, after 10 seconds of being trapped helplessly, Icon desperately crawls backward and desperately extending back with his left foot, manages to get his feet on the bottom rope, thus forcing Hunter to break the hold. Hunter wastes no time continuing the onslaught as soon as Icon makes it back up to his feet, however, and immediately starts pounding him with vicious right hands to the skull. Hunter then whips Icon into the ropes and Icon bounces off of them. Icon charges back at Hunter, who just stands there as Icon comes heading his way, seemingly having a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker in mind, but as Icon charges at Hunter, Icon dives at Hunter, and drills him off his feet and hard to the mat with a Flying Corkscrew Crossbody! The ref does a count as both men are down, lying flat on their backs in the middle of the ring… 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… Icon, though, gets up, which gets the crowd roaring with excitement! Icon climbs to his feet and poses for the H Factor, which amps them up even more as he stares Hunter down and once again stalks his prey, this time, with a killer instinct in mind.

Lemon: “Xtreme Icon is calling for the end here, and we may be seconds away from seeing a stunning upset on Headhunter here!”

Angels: “Au contraire, Chet Lemon. We thought the same thing many different times last week, Chet, and what happens? Headhunter came out on top.”

Hennig: “Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see how Hunter responds to adversity here as we’ve seen him do many times up to this point.”[/color][/b]

Hunter soon groggily gets up to a vertical base and vaguely turns around to see Icon waiting for him in utmost anticipation. As soon as Hunter turns his way, Icon runs at him and gives him a hard kick to the gut. Icon then underhooks both of Hunter’s arms and sets him up for the H Factor flat center in the middle of the ring, but Hunter counters that into a Back Body Drop! Icon, though, unbeknownst to Hunter, flips while being lifted in midair and athletically lands on his feet which gets the crowd all fired up! Hunter turns around and as he does, runs into a Pele Kick right to the skull!

Lemon: “What a counter by the Xtreme Icon!”

Hennig: “Icon is going to have to attack early and often, though, because the longer this match continues, the more it favors Headhunter, nobody plays the endurance game as well as the Soldier of the Night, as we’ve seen in weeks past.”

Hunter stumbles backward, looking paralyzed after being blasted in the skull with that maneuver. Hunter dozily falls back toward the ropes and in doing so, gets his arms caught right in between them! The crowd is cheering vividly as Hunter is trapped inside of the ring ropes!

Lemon: “And Headhunter catches his arms right into the ropes!”

Snow: “Sweet! This is the opening Xtreme Icon needs to put away that punk!”

Icon sees Hunter in a vulnerable position as he gets to his feet and marches over towards the helpless Pure Champion. Icon grabs Hunter by the skull with one hand and immediately starts to open up on him with repeated shots to the face with the other. After 6 vicious right hands, Hunter looks down at the mat dozed as he’s trapped like a rat around the ring ropes! Icon backs away toward the opposite end of the ropes and turns and shouts to the crowd to a nice pop before turning his attention back toward Hunter and charges at him. Icon then levels the helpless Headhunter with a huge Superkick right to the skull, which hit him so hard that Hunter managed to break out of the ring ropes while falling right to the apron!

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon using Headhunter’s own signature Superkick against him, taking the big man down on the apron!”

Snow: “That’s gonna leave a mark!”

Hunter stares up into space, completely stunned while the crowd continues the frenzied cheers. Icon, though, wastes no time continuing the damage and reaches through the ropes. Icon picks Hunter up to a vertical base and puts him in a front facelock. Icon then hoists the big man in the air and, in a gruesome display of strength—perhaps unlike any other—he shouts to the crowd while holding Hunter high in the air! Finally, after 3 seconds of showing off, Icon finally falls back and plants Hunter with a huge Vertical Suplex, which shook the mat hard once again! Hunter is once again left reeling, grabbing his spine as he was hit with perhaps the hardest maneuver he’s seen yet! Icon gets in the corner, imitating Hunter’s “Tunnin’ up the band” as he sets up for another Superkick, waiting for the big man to get up. After 10 seconds, Hunter very groggily gets up and turns around, completely dazed, almost looking as if he doesn’t know where he is right now. As he does, Icon charges at him, and attempts to take his head off with another Superkick, but Hunter grabs his foot right and tactfully blocks it. Hunter drops Icon onto his back and holds onto both of his ankles. Hunter attempts to lock in the Sharpshooter from this position, but before he can do so, Icon hovers both of his knees up and converts the Sharpshooter attempt into a Devil’s Triangle!

Lemon: “Headhunter going for the Sharpshooter, but Xtreme Icon reverses it into a Devil’s Triangle!”

Snow: “You can see it in his eyes, Chet Lemon, he’s about to tap!”

Hunter screams in pain as Icon has him trapped in what is easily one of the deadliest submissions one will ever see. Unable to break out of it, Hunter sees that he is conveniently just a few feet away from the ropes and crawls backward, reaching the bottom rope with his heels, thus forcing Icon to break up the hold. Icon immediately picks Hunter up to a vertical base as soon as he reaches the ropes to break up the count and attempts to whip him again, successfully this time. Hunter bounces off the ropes behind Icon and charges at him. Icon misses with a Clothesline as Hunter ducks under before proceeding to charge at the opposite ropes. Hunter bounces off of those and then dives up and hits Icon with a huge Flying Clothesline! Hunter figuratively took Icon’s head off with that move as he just LEVELED him with it, going at a high velocity! Both men are down momentarily as the crowd is buzzing wildly. After 5 seconds, Hunter sits up which electrifies the crowd even more as Hunter then gets up and holds his right hand up high in the air, signaling for the Chokeslam which gets the crowd roaring like crazy! After a few moments, Icon gets up and runs straight into the grazing palm of Hunter, who chokes him and sets up for the Chokeslam, but before he can hoist him in the air, Icon grabs Hunter’s arm and drags him down to the mat and athletically reverses the Chokeslam attempt into a Crippler Crossface to a large pop!

Lemon: “What a counter!”

Snow: “I’ll say!”

Lemon: “Xtreme Icon reversed the Chokeslam into a Crippler Crossface! Will Headhunter submit here?”

Hennig: “As we all know and have seen by now, Headhunter is no stranger to submissions. Justin Stoppable hit submission hold after submission hold on him during their match at Xtreme Champions one month ago, and yet, in the end, the relentless fighting spirit of Headhunter got the best of him and he was able to walk away still Pure Champion en mass.”

Angels: “Indeed, Xtreme Icon realizes he may not get the big man to tap out here, but he knows that he will take the power game further and further out of the Pure Champion if he continues to wear him down with all these submissions, and if you take the power game away from Headhunter, you know you’ve got yourself in a position to score a win over him, that’s the key here with Xtreme Icon’s strategy.”

For the longest time, Hunter screams in pain and does not even move. After 10 seconds, Hunter raises his right hand up high in the air and shakes it several times, looking as if he’s about to tap out, until suddenly, in a burst of strength, Hunter slowly manages to climb to his knees, and then both legs. Hunter looks toward his side and sees an opportunity to deal some damage here. Hunter picks Icon up by the leg and underhooks it. He then hoists him high in the air right alongside his hips before slamming him hard to the mat with a Suicide Solution!



Icon is laid down and out as he is crashed face first into the mat. Hunter then wraps his legs around Icon’s legs as soon as he hits the mat and locks him in an Omoplata! Icon, after nearly half a minute of struggling, though, finally reaches the bottom rope, forcing Hunter to let go of the hold!

Icon takes a moment to rest his chin along the bottom rope to catch a breather. Hunter soon gets up to a vertical base and charges after Icon. As he does, however, Icon skins the cat, opening up the middle rope, and causing Hunter to fall right through the apron and to the floor! The camera zooms in on Hunter’s large frame as he once again stares into space in an unconscious heap while the ref does the count.... 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… Hunter sits up on the outside. He then slowly makes it to his feet and turns around to face Icon on the outside. As he does, though, Icon grabs onto the top rope and jumps on top before graciously diving off of it and hitting Hunter with his signature Springboard Shooting Star Dropkick right to the face!

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon with that signature Shooting Star Dropkick right to the face of the Pure Champion, laying him out!”

Both men are crashed out on the floor while the crowd chants “holy shit!” over and over again repeatedly, and in doing so, starts a whole new count by the referee… 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… Icon gets up to a vertical base and heads back towards the apron… 6… 7… Icon rolls through the apron to reset the count and then immediately back out to the floor. Headhunter is arched over while on both knees, seemingly as to catch a small breather to regain himself. Icon marches over and picks Hunter up from behind before hoisting him up high in the air and planting him with a Slingshot Suplex stomach first onto the ringside barricade! Hunter’s face is red as he moans in agony, having the appearance of having the wind knocked out of him from that gracious maneuver!

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon hits Headhunter with a Slingshot Suplex, ramming his gut right into the ringside barricade!”

Snow: “He’s gonna be feeling that one from now all the way to King of Xtreme, I guarantee you that, Chet!”

The ref is now at a restarted count of 6 when Icon rolls back into the ring. Icon then rolls back out toward the apron, only instead of going back towards the floor, Icon stays on top of the apron. Icon then dives off of the apron and sandwiches Hunter back into the ringside barricade with a Spinning Legdrop right to the back of the neck, knocking Hunter off the barricade and back onto the floor! Both men are laid out on the floor once again as the ref resumes the count for the 3rd time in this sequence now… 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… Icon gets up to a vertical base and picks Hunter up by the singlet and drags him back towards the apron… 7… 8… Icon rolls Hunter back into the ring and follows him back in. Icon covers the fallen Hunter…

Hunter gets the shoulder up at 2 ½!

Icon picks Hunter up by the hair and gives Hunter a couple of vicious right hands while holding him in place with his left arm, thus keeping him from moving free. Icon then backs Hunter into the ropes and attempts to whip Hunter off of them, but Hunter once again spins and reverses into a Whip of his own, having the obvious strength advantage over the Xtreme Icon. Icon bounces off the ropes and redirects back at Hunter. Icon, though, with great mobility, spins in midair and drills Hunter down with a 360 Spin Kick, knocking the big man out cold on the mat to a huge pop! Icon is laid out on his back again, selling the punishment his body has been through—which has been done more so by himself than by his opponent it seems—for all of a few seconds before getting up and crawling over towards the prone Hunter’s body and covering him…

Hunter gets the shoulder up!

Icon picks Hunter up by the hair to a vertical base and holds him again with his left hand before popping him with a hard right. Hunter lunges backward, wobbly staggering backwards into the ropes. Icon follows him there and starts to climb up top. Icon climbs the top turnbuckle and starts to open up on Hunter with mounted fists to the head… 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… but before Icon can deliver a 10th and final blow to Hunter’s already ravaged forehead, Hunter grabs Icon by the tights with both hands and gets the crowd rumbling as he drags him out of the corner for a familiar move…

Lemon: “Headhunter has him set up for the Last Ride!”

Angels: “That’s one thing I know I’ve got to be on the lookout for at KoX. Just when you think you’ve got him right where you want him, he’ll come fighting right back with a vengeance, as we saw last week in his match against Dante Cross.”

Hunter tries to plant Icon with a Last Ride, but as he’s about to drop Icon, Icon counters it into a Hurricarana into a pin attempt!

1…
2…

But Hunter rolls forward and breaks the pin attempt at the 2 ½ mark! Hunter grabs both of Icon’s legs, and plants him with a Catapult in the corner! Icon pops his head face first out of the corner and deflects back at Hunter, who drills him down with a vicious Running Big Boot. Hunter then turns toward the crowd and directs the slit throat pose, letting them know that this match is now soon-to-be-over, and they all begin to light up with extremely crazy pops, the likes of which few wrestlers in XWA are known to receive! Hunter marches toward Icon and picks him up by the head to a vertical base. Hunter then slides Icon right in between his legs and wraps his arms around his torso. Hunter then lifts Icon up with him in between his legs, going for either a Last Ride or his signature Beheader finisher, but Icon falls back on his feet after being lifted halfway up. Icon then overhooks both of Hunter’s arms and turns him around, a la Christian’s Unprettier finisher, then drags him down to the mat, thus reversing the move into a back slide pin…

1…
2…

Hunter rolls out of it before the ref can slap his hands down to the mat for a 3 count, though, before climbing himself up to a vertical base. Hunter charges forward and tries to take Icon’s head off with a vicious right hand, but Icon ducks under it and charges at the ropes in front of him. Icon bounces off the ropes and sling shots back at Hunter. Icon tries to hit Hunter with a running Crossbody, but Hunter catches him in midair, once again demonstrating to the crowd just how powerful he really is as they cheer into a delighted frenzy! Hunter then hoists Icon up over his shoulders, in a military press, as to set up for his Gorilla Press Powerslam, but Icon falls safely behind his opponent and grabs Hunter by the waist. Icon then hoists Hunter up, and hits a German Suplex. Icon holds on, though, and rolls back and gets up before hitting the big man with another rolling German Suplex to a huge pop. Icon holds on and rolls again before getting back up, and hitting a 3rd rolling German Suplex on the Pure Champ to a nice pop from the crowd!

Icon goes to the outside apron and starts climbing the ropes. Icon sits seated onto the top turnbuckle, waiting patiently for his man to get up once again. After 10 seconds, Hunter begins to sit up to a huge pop and gets up and turns around to face Icon up top. As he does, Icon charges off the top turnbuckle, attempting to hit Hunter with a Double Axe Handle from off the top turnbuckle, but Hunter graciously catches him in midair with his right hand to a huge pop as he holds him in place to set him up for a familiar move. Hunter then wraps Icon’s free arm around his neck before lifting him up high above his shoulders in midair, and slamming him back down with a thundering Chokeslam, laying him out cold. Hunter drops down and covers him…

Kickout at 2 ½!

Hunter wastes no time continuing the momentum shift, however, and picks Icon up to a vertical base via his right arm. Hunter then gives him an arm twist before decking him with his deadly Guillotine Elbow combo, first hitting a vicious forearm smash across the back of the head immediately followed by an equally-vicious elbow smash into his spine, then finally leveling him down to the mat with a massive shoulder thrust at a velocity the likes of which no one has ever seen! Icon falls hard to the mat, looking as if he had just been hit by a freight train by the legendary force of Hunter’s signature striking combo!

Lemon: “Headhunter showing the world why he is perhaps the deadliest striker in all of XWA, and maybe even in XWA history with that vicious Guillotine Elbow, and Icon is not moving an inch after those signature blows!”

Hennig: “No matter what you do, you cannot allow Headhunter to gain any serious momentum on you, because once he hits you with those Guillotine Elbow strikes, you will never be the same man again, that I can guarantee you.”

Angels: “No kidding. That’s like a freight train hitting you head on. Xtreme Icon may not even make it out of here tonight in one piece, he may be leaving Sunderland tonight in a stretcher!”

Hunter squats on both knees while shouting “Come on!” at the unconscious Icon, but Hunter leveled him so hard that Icon seemingly may not have even heard him call him out! After 15 seconds of no activity, though, Icon very groggily makes it to one knee, then grabs onto the top rope, and uses them to pull himself up, no longer being able to sustain himself after being decked so hard by the Pure Champ. Icon gets up right in the corner and turns around, very dozily. Hunter then charges at Icon, going for a Seated Senton in the corner, but Icon moves out of harm’s way right at the last second and Hunter catches his legs in between the turnbuckle pad as a result. Hunter closes his eyes, reeling in pain as he straddles the top turnbuckle. Icon moves back into the corner and places Hunter over his shoulders. He carries him out of the corner a couple of feet before planting him down to the mat with a Muscle Buster. Icon then turns toward the crowd and poses for the H Factor again to get the crowd buzzing.

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon is calling for the end again here.”

Angels: “Icon may think he has the Pure Champion right where he wants him right about now, but as we all know by now after seeing his recent matches, never count the Soldier of the Night out. Icon better be on the lookout here.”

Icon squats in the corner, waiting patiently for Hunter to get to his feet. After 15 seconds of no activity, Hunter very groggily makes it to a vertical base, using the ropes for safe leverage after all the pain and punishment he has endured up to this point in the match. Hunter turns around and as he does, Icon sprints after him and attempts to kick him in the gut, as to set him up for the H Factor, but Hunter, in yet another heroic display of fighting spirit, grabs his foot and holds it right in front of his chest. Icon is hopping on one foot as Hunter holds his right leg near his chest. Hunter turns Icon around, but as he does, Icon spins and hits Hunter straight square in the side of the head with a Enzuiguri, knocking him on one knee. Hunter is left reeling as that kick shook him, and knocked him nearly off balance. Hunter soon gets up, and as he does, Icon spins and athletically hits Hunter with a Spinning Roundhouse Kick to the face, which knocked him off his feet and sent him flying several feet across the ring before crashing and burning to the mat with a vengeance. Icon poses for the H Factor yet again to another heated pop while Hunter is laid out on his back in an unconscious heap. Icon, rather than stalking his prey and thus, allowing his opponent recovery time, instead picks Hunter up by the hair and slides him in between his legs. Icon then underhooks his arms before picking him up and successfully planting him with the H Factor square center in the middle of the ring!

Lemon: “There it is! The H Factor! This one should be over!”

Hennig: “What a shame it would be to see Hunter lose to a mere midcarder after being randomly thrown in the Mayhem main event at King of Xtreme.”

Icon covers the fallen Hunter…

NO! HUNTER SOMEHOW KICKS OUT A SPLIT SECOND BEFORE THE 3 COUNT! ICON CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES AS THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

Lemon: “No! Somehow, Headhunter kicks out!”

Angels: “See? I told you don’t count the big man out. No matter how hard you hit him, Headhunter will come fighting back harder, every time.”

Icon looks up at the referee in a state of complete shock. Icon gets to his feet, arguing that it was a 3 count, but the ref reassures him that it was only 2. Icon angrily picks Hunter back up to a vertical base and slides him in between his legs again. Icon underhooks both of Hunter’s arms and sets up for what would be a 2nd H Factor in successive fashion, but Hunter reverses it into a huge Spinebuster, which shook the mat hard on impact! The crowd buzzes wildly as Icon leans toward his side, arching his back sideways in pain after HH (figuratively) Spinebustered the hell out of him with that counter!

Lemon: “Xtreme Icon was going for a 2nd H Factor, and Headhunter counters it into a vicious Spinebuster!”

Angels: “See? There’s that fighting spirit I was telling you about all along.”

Snow: “No! Goddammit man! This is an outrage!”

Hunter scoops Icon up off the mat and places him over his shoulders. Hunter runs toward the corner with him hanging over his shoulders and drops him face first into the turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes. Icon staggers wobbly out of the corner as his face bounces off the hard corner turnbuckle pad. Hunter charges at the ropes behind him and bounces off of them. Hunter rebounds back at Icon and instead of striking him down, athletically front flips over his shoulders. Hunter then turns around and hits Icon hard in the face with a Jumping Twisting Enzuiguri. Icon staggers backward and falls right off his feet as he is backed right back into the corner turnbuckle pad. Hunter charges at Icon as he is making his way back up to his feet. As soon as he does, Hunter leaps at Icon in the corner, and plants him with a Stinger Splash. Icon staggers out of the corner, nearly off balance as 326 pounds of pure muscle sandwiches him in the corner. As he does, Hunter backs away a few steps, conveniently leaving enough space for Icon to stagger right into Hunter. As he does, Hunter wraps both arms around Icon before lifting him up and hitting him with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex, slamming him hard to the mat. Icon arches his back and grabs his spine in pain as Hunter slammed him hard to the mat at a high velocity!

Hunter gets up and steps through the middle rope and gets on the apron. Hunter then climbs the top turnbuckle which gets the crowd buzzing as he sets up for a potentially dangerous top rope maneuver.

Lemon: “And Headhunter is climbing the top rope!”

Hennig: “I don’t know if this is the best strategy on the part of the Pure Champion. Headhunter is already 0-1 in doing high risk maneuvers tonight against Xtreme Icon, going high risk, no reward yet again could have some big time consequences for the Soldier of the Night.”

Hunter then lines himself up top, sitting on top like a gargoyle as he waits patiently for Icon to make it back up to a vertical base. After 15 heart-pumping seconds, Icon slowly makes it to a vertical base, using the ropes to pull himself up. He turns facing the crowd, giving a dazed look, before wobbly turning around at Hunter who is waiting up top. Hunter then leaps off the top turnbuckle, attempting to hit him with his signature Diving Spinning Heel Kick from off the top turnbuckle, but Icon moves out of the way at the last second and Hunter crashes hard into the canvas! Hunter is sitting with both of his eyes closed, screaming there in pain as he went high risk, no reward yet again on Xtreme Icon! Xtreme Icon wastes absolutely no time capitalizing on this and grabs him by the ankle. He then drags him onto his stomach and holds his ankle up high in the air, thus locking Hunter in the Ankle Lock!

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon now has Hunter in the Ankle Lock! Will he submit here?”

Snow: “Tap bitch, tap!”

Hunter looks ready to tap out, but after 20 seconds of no activity, lifts his leg up and rolls, thus kicking him out of the submission hold and into the corner! Hunter slowly gets up to his feet and attempts to take Icon’s head off with a clothesline in the corner, but Icon lifts his boot up and boots him in the face! Hunter immediately falls off his feet, having previously suffered a lot of damage earlier on in this match, and crawls away, struggling to make it back up to his feet. As he does, Icon dips up onto the top turnbuckle, waiting for Hunter to get up. Hunter soon groggily makes it to his feet. Hunter turns around and sees Icon diving off the top rope, and hitting him with a huge Missile Drop Kick, which knocked him back several feet before laying him out unconsciously on his spine! Icon screams at Hunter for get up as he once again stalks his lifeless, injured prey, but Hunter once again takes an eternity’s worth to even make it up off his back after everything he’s been through until finally, after everything he’s been through, Hunter grabs the middle rope and slowly, at the pace of a snail, starts to pick himself up to his feet. As he turns around, Icon bounces off the rope and charges at Hunter, trying to take him down with a Clothesline, but Hunter uses his jiu-jitsu background and black-belt fighting abilities to his advantage here and hits a perfectly-timed Spinning Heel Kick right to the gut. Icon reels from the big-time velocity in his kick, arching his back over in pain. Icon conveniently positions himself for Hunter to make his next move, however, as he slides the (again) conveniently-arched Icon through his legs again. Headhunter hoists Icon up, and lifts him once again high above his shoulders, giving him plenty of hang time before dropping him down viciously to the mat with a Last Ride to a huge pop.

Lemon: “There it is! The Last Ride! This should do it!”

Hunter hooks the unconscious Icon’s legs…

NO! SOMEHOW, ICON KICKS OUT AT 2 ¾! THE CROWD IS GOING CRAZY ONCE AGAIN WHILE HUNTER LOOKS UP AT THE REF IN A LOOK OF COMPLETE AND UTTER DISBELIEF!

Lemon: “And now the Xtreme Icon kicks out! What a match we are being treated to here on KoX Main Event!”

Hennig: “At first, we were wondering what the Xtreme Icon has to do to beat Headhunter, now the question is, what does Headhunter have to do to beat the Xtreme Icon?”

Hunter climbs back up to his feet and grabs Icon by the arm, pulling him up to a vertical base. Hunter gives Icon a hard shoulder thrust, throwing him off his feet before immediately pulling him back up and giving him another hard shoulder thrust to the same effect. Hunter gives him one more shoulder thrust, then immediately picks him back up and gives him an arm twist. He then walks backward toward the ropes before stepping up them, and gets the crowd buzzing as he sets up for a familiar move…

Lemon: “And Headhunter is going Old School!”

Snow: “Oh shut up and quit getting orgasms over your boyfriend, Chet!”

Hunter takes a few steps along the top rope before diving off, and attempting to hit Icon with Old School, but just as he’s about to jam his elbow right into Icon’s spine at a high velocity, Icon lifts his knees up, which connect right with Hunter’s gut, thus countering it into a Go To Sleep! Hunter is down and out on the mat while the crowd buzzes at yet another amazing counter by Xtreme Icon!

Lemon: “And Xtreme Icon counters again! This time, into a Go To Sleep!”

Snow: “You can tell he really wants to win this one, Chet! He’s gonna prove why Hunter doesn’t belong in the XWA Title Match at Xtreme Champions when he beats him in the middle of that ring, fair and square!”

Hennig: “You know as well as I do that Headhunter is no stranger to adversity. Hell, you might even say he’s at his best when the odds are stacked against him, Black Snow, don’t be a fool!”

Snow: “How much does Razor pay you guys to be Headhunter’s bitch every week? Everyone worships the damn ground he walks on, it makes me sick!”

Angels: “Because he’s damn good!”

Snow: “Aw, shut up!”

Icon sees that Hunter is down and takes advantage of this by going to the outside apron and climbing up the top turnbuckle. Once up tope, Icon measures his man, then screams toward the fans, who respond by giving him a big pop. Icon then dives off the top, and goes for his trademark Swanton Bomb, but Hunter lifts both knees up at the last second and Icon’s spine hits them instead. Icon skids off Hunter’s knees, grabbing his back in pain as his spine crashed hard into Hunter’s muscular knees. Hunter soon gets up to a vertical base and stares Icon down as he waits patiently for him to get up. Icon gets up after a long, heart-pumping moment and as he does, he runs straight into Hunter. Hunter grabs him by the hips and then hoists him in the air, successfully hitting him with his signature Killer Slam (Angle Slam)] to a huge pop! Hunter then covers him…

Icon gets the shoulder up at 2 ½!

Hunter gets up and marches toward the corner. He then starts “Tunnin’ up the Band” himself, which gets the crowd roaring with extreme excitement as their chants begin to take the roof off of this place! Icon very slowly gets up after 15 seconds and gets in the corner with his back turned facing the excited Headhunter. Icon turns around and sees Hunter charging at him, going for a hellacious Superkick of his own, but Icon ducks under and appears behind Hunter. Hunter turns around and receives a kick in the gut. Icon underhooks his arms yet again, setting him up for the H Factor yet again, but Hunter blocks it and hoists Icon up over his shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position, getting ready to take him down with a Death Valley Driver, but Icon slides safely behind Hunter’s shoulders and then traps one of his arms, getting ready to trap him in the Tazzmission, the same move with which he made Justin Stoppable, Hunter’s biggest adversary, submit last week. Hunter, though, sees that the ropes are located conveniently in front of him and takes a page out of a counter he had used against him last week in his match against Dante, and jumps onto the middle ropes. Hunter then pushes himself back right off of them. Hunter sends them skidding back several feet, landing right in the center of the ring. This momentum also allowed Hunter to break out of the Half Nelson portion of the Tazzmission and roll behind Icon. Hunter, now positioned behind Icon right on the mat, then traps Icon in a Full Nelson, then trapping his legs around his torso, and in doing so, tactfully countered the Tazzmission attempt into his own trademark Killer Clutch!

Lemon: “Xtreme Icon was going for the Tazzmission on Headhunter, but Headhunter pushes himself off the ropes and uses the momentum to break out and reverse it into a Killer Clutch!”

Angels: “Taking a page out of his opponent from last week’s playbook! We saw this same counter used against him last week, and now he’s gonna win with it this week!”

The ref squats down and checks on Icon. He sees that Icon is not responding as he completely passes out in Hunter’s unbreakable submission and calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!

Roberts: “Here is your winner by submission… HEADHUNTER!”

Lemon: “And Headhunter sending a big message to DC Hennig and Gabriel “Blaze” Angels for King of Xtreme!”

Hennig: “Headhunter persevered as expected, but let’s not forget that this is only a very small preview of what he’s gonna be up against at King of Xtreme.”

The crowd lets out a deafening pop as the lights go out on the arena and “Crush ‘Em” by Megadeth blares over the PA system once more! A-Death jumps up with glee as her man was just announced the winner of the match via submission. She then slides in the ring with the Pure Championship in hand and hands it to her man. Headhunter holds both arms up in victory, with the Pure Title hanging in the palm of his right hand. He then turns around and hugs his beautiful wife before giving her a kiss on the side of the head. The two then stand together with their arms raised in unison while the crowd cheers them both on, wildly. After a few moments of this, Hunter turns facing Hennig and Angels at the announce table. Hunter points toward both men and they return the gesture with stern looks of their own. Hunter then signals for the Pure Championship around his waist, to which the crowd cheers relentlessly. However, those deafening cheers are suddenly turned into loud boos as Justin Stoppable comes running down the ramp, unbeknownst to Hunter.

Lemon: “It’s Justin Stoppable yet again! What is he doing here?”

Snow: “Talk about raining on Headhunter’s parade after screwing him over so many times, Chet! Aw man, payback’s a bitch!”

Justin Stoppable comes running down to the ring with a crowbar in hand and charges through the apron as Hunter has his back turned. Hunter turns around and receives a vicious shot right to the gut with it. Hunter screams in pain and arches on his stomach as he had the wind knocked out of him yet again courtesy of Justin Stoppable. The crowd boos him relentlessly, but Justin sucks it up, taking the fan’s disdain as power to do more damage to their hero. Justin then whacks Hunter across the back of the head with the crowbar, driving Hunter to fall on his knees, and then charges at whacks him again across the top of the head. Hunter drops like an anvil onto his stomach. Justin then turns him around and repeatedly starts jamming the crowbar into his skull, and Hunter is busted wide open from it. The crowd’s loud boos soon turn into loud cheers, though, as both Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and DC Hennig begin to stand up off their seats at the announce table. Both take their headsets off and stare Justin down and in doing so, generates yet another deafening pop much like they did last week in their after-match encounter with Justin!

Lemon: “And Gabriel “Blaze” Angels and DC Hennig, the two men who will be meeting Headhunter for the XWA Title at King of Xtreme in a Triple Threat match, have seen enough!”

Snow: “Goddammit, man, why do they have to spoil all the fun yet again?!”

Angels and Hennig go charging through the apron and into the ring as Justin sits down, repeatedly pummeling Hunter with the crowbar in hand. Justin has his back turned facing them as they stare him down, getting ready to deal some major damage, much like last week. Angels charges at Justin, hitting him with a mudhole stomp to the back to start things off. Both men start to stomp away at Justin’s back as he gets up and turns around, giving both men heated stares as he pretty much no sells their offense! Justin charges at Angels, but Angels jumps up and gives Justin a standing Missile Drop Kick as he comes running his way, knocking Justin Hennig’s way. Hennig gives Justin a right hand across the face, and knocks him towards Hunter’s direction. Hunter gives Justin a huge Spinning Heel Kick to the gut, executed in black belt-style perfection as he punctured him hard in the gut with a single kick of his deadly, lightning-quick feet! Justin staggers back towards GBA as the two play hot potato with Justin in the ring! GBA gives Justin a swift kick to the gut. Justin arches over. GBA grabs the back of his head and opens up on him with a hard overhanded smash to the spine. Justin staggers back the other way, back towards Hennig, who picks him up and gives him an Atomic Drop. Justin grabs his nuts and staggers back towards Hunter’s direction, going clockwise, who absolutely levels Justin with a vicious jumping Butterfly Kick to the skull, drilling him on his back! The 3 men whisper to eachother the game plan as the crowd gives them yet another frenzied pop! Hunter goes to the outside while both Hennig and Angels pick Justin up to a vertical base. Angels gives Justin an Angels Wings, laying him out on the mat. As soon as he hit the mat, however, Hennig picks Justin back up and gives him a Phenomeplex right near the bottom rope! The unconscious Justin rolls to the outside where he meets up with Headhunter, who receives a deafening pop as he obviously has something big planned.

Hunter picks Justin up by the hair and carries him away. The camera stays panned in closely on the Pure Champ as he drags him up the ramp. Finally, when they reach the stage area, Hunter picks Justin up and throws him face first into the lighted equipment, sending Justin toppling flat on his stomach as he staggers a few feet across the stage, then collapses right on top of the ramp. Hunter walks over towards a portion of the ramp area and, in a gruesome display of strength, rips the covering clear off the stage to a pop that’s out of this world!

Lemon: “And Headhunter just ripped open a portion of the stage!”

Snow: “No! This guy is absolutely sick! I’m tellin’ ya! He needs to be locked in solitary confinement before he kills somebody, that freak!”

Hunter then walks over towards Justin’s prone body and picks him up by the hair again. Hunter slides Justin in between his legs while standing over the torn opening in the stage area. Hunter then picks Justin up high above his shoulders before giving him a Last Ride right through the stage and onto the concrete below!

Lemon: “OH MY GOD! HEADHUNTER JUST GAVE JUSTIN STOPPABLE A LAST RIDE RIGHT THROUGH THE STAGE!”

Snow: “HOLY SHIT, HE MIGHT’VE KILLED HIM! SOMEONE STOP THIS MADNESS!”

The crowd is cheering like never before while Hunter looks down at the carnage he ensued below where Justin’s unconscious body lies amuck! A pool of blood slowly begins to form right below the back of Justin’s head where it hit the concrete and Justin is not moving an inch!

Lemon: “Looks like Razor wasn’t lying when he said Justin Stoppable definitely didn’t want to be coming down to the ring after Headhunter’s match!”

Snow: “No shit, Sherlock! He could be dead! That man needs to be arrested for attempted murder, my God, what a freak!”

Hunter sits and stares at the damage while Angels and Hennig meet him at the top of the ramp. The three men once again hold arms together, standing in unison to a hellacious pop while EMTs rush toward the destruction site Headhunter left behind! Personnel go down and begin to load Justin on top of a stretcher. The crowd then cheers loudly as he’s being unloaded into the back of an ambulance and is soon driven away. As soon as the ambulance leaves the ring, “Crush ‘Em” by Megadeth blares over the speakers once again and the crowd gives the 3 men one final deafening pop as they begin to cut to the next segment.

Ashley Sky: [sighs] what do you want?

JKX: What do you say about getting the band back together?

[BELL SOUNDS]

Justin Roberts: The following match is set for one fall but if Josh Diamondback wins he will be added to the XWA International Title Shot at King of Xtreme.

[JKX’s new theme song blares throughout the sold out Stadium of Light. His new theme is called I Came to Play by DownStrait.]

Lights flash all over in the arena some blue some white. Smoke emerges from the stage and After about 5 seconds JKX merges onto the stage slowly wearing black tights with lightning strikes on the side. He also has his International title around his waist. He stands at the top of the ramp and the smoke ceases. JKX takes his championship belt off and slowly raises it in the air. When it’s all the way up green pyro goes up on the left side of the stage and blue pyro goes off on the right side. When the pyro is over JKX flips his title over his shoulder and begins walking down the ramp. The crowd is giving JKX tremendous heat.

Justin Roberts: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Weighing in at 250 pounds. He is the XWA International Champion., The Enigmatic Viper, JKX, Justin kredible Xtreme!

[JKX is at the end of the ramp and walks to the stairs he looks around at the fans giving him heat he turns around and runs jumps on the ring apron at about midpoint and turns around and turning his body so that the crowd see’s his face. The cameraman gets a close up of JKX and his title. JKX kisses his title stands up and enters the ring. JKX stretches his arms and grabs the ropes and leans back 3 times. We go to a different camera angle as JKX goes to get the mic from Justin Roberts. Justin then leaves the ring. JKX then stands in the middle of the ring as his music fades into oblivion.]

JKX: I will be starting a new crusade tonight here in sumerland, england. Everywhere I go I will be saving one member of the XWA audience. Now you maybe asking what is dude talking about? What is he going to save me from? Well I’m gonna tell all of you right now. One person tonight is going to change their ways. By the end of this segment one of you will no longer be a English Citizen. No, instead you will be joining me on my Canadian lifestyle. Before I choose which one of you gets saved...

[JKX points to the stage.]

I Came to Play by DownStrait blares throughout the arena. Lights flash all over in the arena once again some blue some white. The lights then go out. When they come back on XWA’s latest acquisition is standing on the stage with his back to the audience.

JKX: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome, XWA’s latest NEW superstar, Daniel Nero Stone!

Daniel turns around and begins walking down the ramp. The english fans are giving daniel heat but not as near as much as JKX recieved. Daniel is at the end of the ramp. He turns left and walks up the steel stairs. He walks on the ring apron then enters the ring. Also he’s wearing a suit. Daniel’s song fades into oblivion. Daniel extends his hand for JKX him to give him the mic.

Daniel: Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Daniel Stone. I used to be like all of you hopeless english men and women but then I finally realized....This country is pathethic. I mean I used to talk with the gay accent you all have but JKX has transformed me. He has made me a better person than all of you. Now...to put the icing on the cake.

Daniel pulls out a United Kingdom Flag, Lighter Fluid, and a pack of matches. Daniel mouths something to JKX. JKX gets out the ring and gets a table from under the ring and sets up outside the ring near the ramp. Daniel Stone then gets out the ring. He squirts some lighter fluid on the table and then spread the UK flag across the table and then soaks it in Lighter Fluid. Daniel Stone then gets a match from the pack and flicks it across the friction pad on the back and hows the flame on the match to the fans. He then throws it onto the flag as the flag burns to ashes.

JKX: Now it’s one of your alls turns. So who wants to be saved? JKX gets a steel chair from Justin Roberts and then gets in the ring.

JKX sets up the steel chair in the middle of the ring. JKX looks at all of the fans. JKX points at a fan.

JKX: You, in the brand NEW Josh Diamondback T-Shirt now available on XWAShop Dot Com. Daniel go get me that man. Security if you would help then man get over that barricade.

The security and Daniel help the fan over the barricade and the fan follows Daniel Stone. Daniel allows the fan to go up the steel stairs first and the fan looks anxious. JKX helps the fan out a little by pulling the middle rope up and using his feet to push the bottom rope down. The fan enters the ring.

JKX: Have a seat, what’s your name?

Fan: Drew.

JKX: Okay Drew, First I like to congratulate you on being the first fan to be chosen to be saved tonight but it’s not gonna be all that easy at the end. So let’s start. Raise your right hand. Do you give your life over to Canadian ways?

Drew: I do.

JKX: That part was simple now it only gets harder from here. Take the flag that Drew has just handed you and put it into the flame.

Drew gets up and walks to the side of the ring that’s near the ramp. Drew takes the flag folds it and tosses it into the firey depths. JKX smiles.

JKX: You are doin a great job. But this is the last and most difficult part. We have to ceremoniously beat the english out of you.

JKX grabs Drew before he can escape.

JKX: You should’ve thought twice before raising your hand and wearing that pathetic Josh Diamondback shirt.

JKX irish whips Drew to Daniel. Daniel knees Drew in the gut. Daniel locks in a inverted full nelson lifts him off the ground, Drew’s legs wraps around the body of Daniel, Drew is then slammed to the mat. JKX then rips the Josh Diamondback shirt of f of Drew and throws it into the fire.

JKX: Ladies and Gentleman, there you have it. The first fan to join my Canadian Society. Oh, medical personnel can you take this kid to the back and make sure he’s okay, I have a feeling he’s gonna be out for a while. But there’s one more thing I have to take care of. This concerns XtremeMania. XtremeMania is after King of Xtreme I believe and realized that during backstage talk I do not yet have a planned match so I’m gonna put myself out there for a moment. Tonight I’m gonna prevent Diamondback from entering my match at KOX. Then at KOX I will retain my title against HHH619 and then the next 2 vendettas I will be warming up for XtremeMania. Same for Main Event. Then the Grandest Stage of them All, XtremeMania. Here’s my challenge. Ashley Sky. I’ve heard you still think you can beat me. So what do you say? One more time. Ashley Sky vs. Justin Kredible Xtreme for the XWA Internat-- for the returning XWA Intergender Championship? Accept or Deny.

They then show Josh Diamondback walking backstage through the hallways.

Todd Grisham: When we return Josh Diamondback will go head to head with the XWA International champion, JKX.

We’re back from commercials and Josh Diamondback’s theme is blaring throughout the arena. He walks onto the stage and salute’s to the crowd.

Justin Roberts: And his opponent from Fort Worth, Texas weighing in at 247 Pounds, The Diamond, Josh Diamondback!

He then runs down the ramp enthusiastically and slides in the ring. He bounces of the ropes a few times and then throws his yellow and green U Can’t C Me Hat into the crowd. He then stands on the top rope smiles and takes off his black, green, and yellow you can’t see me shirt spins it around his wrists a couple of times and throws it into the crowd. Diamondback’s music fades into oblivion. Josh Diamondback is wearing blue jean sagging shorts. Wristbands and Sneakers.

JKX holds up his XWA International Title Belt to try and intimaidate Josh but his mind games do not work. The referee takes JKX’s title belt and hands it to the timekeeper. JKX and Daniel are discussing their plan. The referee tells Daniel to get out the ring. Then he asks both superstars are they ready and then he signals the bell to be rung.

Back from Commercial

Jack Korpela: HHH619 can you explain your actions just moments ago?

HHH619: You want my explanation? Fine, here it is. Little nice guy HHH619 isn’t gettin me far in this company and if I need to steal the top stars spotlight each and every week just to get higher above them that’s exactly what I will do until I capture my first World Title. ANy more questions?

Jack Korpela: Actually yes. Do you...

HHH619: Of course you have a question. Everyone has questions for HHH619. Everyone always wants a n autograph from HHH619 well this is my new response to you Jack Korpela, everyone in XWA, and the XWA Universe. Take a number and wait because I have more important things to do. JKX see you at King of Xtreme and prepare to lose your title over to ME!
-------------------------------------
Later in the show
JKX: Where were you out there when I was a victim of an attack?

Daniel Stone: I did my job out there. I helped you prevent Diamondback from entering your match at KOX. The very least you could do is say these two words. Thank you.

JKX: If this team between the two of us is gonna work out we need to be there for each other whenever one of us is in need. Got it? Get it? GOOD! It doesn’t matter if you prevented Diamondback from the match because the odds are once again stacked against me. But don’t worry I’m pretty sure you’ll make this up to me at KOX right?

Daniel Stone: Look, just because I’m your tag partner doesn’t mean I come out and save you everytime you’re getting attacked. See I’m not that type of person who wants to be known for that. I want to be known for being the best there is. Now then again it wouldn’t hurt to do that every once in a while.

JKX: Well looks like you’ll never be known for that because that spot has already been taken. And we’re a tag team we need to stick together.

Daniel Stone: Sticking together has absolutely nothing to do with saving your butt everytime you get into trouble with your opponent. Now on your way to the King of Xtreme PPV I want you to thank about everything I just said. Until KOX I have nothing to say to you. You better get your act together quick because it be a shame if Daniel Stone walked out on his mentor JKX, what would all the young superstars think about you then? Later, See you at King of Xtreme.

Screen fades to a commercial.

I'm a little bit off the chain, call me insane, but the fact remains… That I'm a psycho
Better get it through your brain, when you say my name, never say it in vain… Cause I'm a psycho

The screen returns from commercial and both McNugget and Ashley Sky are standing in the ring, waiting for the Referee to get the contest underway. In the meantime, McNugget extends his hand to Ashley Sky. Ashley goes to happily accept the handshake, until McNugget suddenly and disrespectfully removes his arm. Ash does not look pleased with McNugget. McNugget smirks at first, then begins to chuckle at the fact Ashley Sky is a girl, thinking she doesn’t stand a chance in hell. Ash sets out to prove McNugget and viciously kicks McNugget in the genitals. McNugget’s’ jaw drops as he falls to his knees in a shocked state of condition. Ash gives McNugget a valuable lesson not to underestimate a girl. Ash then gives McNugget the middle finger and begins chuckling at him. The bell suddenly rings.

Ash actually applies more pressure to the Ankle Lock and as each second passes, McNugget’s hand gets closer and closer to the canvas.
McNugget digs down deep though and finds a way to drag his worn out, old and bruised body towards the ropes.
The question is can McNugget get to the ropes in time before his ankle is broken?
The expression on Ash’s face changes as she begins to get worried about McNugget reaching the ropes.

The Referee orders Ash to break the hold but being the nasty heel diva that she is, she refuses.
The Referee is forced to begin the count. If Ash doesn’t release the hold by the count of five she will be disqualified.

1… 2… 3… 4…

At the last second, Ash reluctantly releases the submission. Ash is absolutely furious about having to release the submission, as both he and McNugget get to their feet.
With her eyes becoming intense once again, the two approach each other, with the tension at its highest.

Ash gets to her feet, smirking sinisterly. Perhaps she was playing possum all along? Ash then licks her lips as she picks up the Steel Chair.
McNugget gets to his feet, still holding his abdomen area tenderly. The Referee starts to revive as he lifts his head up off the mat.
Ash doesn’t notice though and smashes McNugget in the forehead thunderously with the Steel Chair.
The Referee signals for the bell to be rung and Ash turns her attention to the Referee who she thought was still down. Ash is disqualified!

DING! DING! DING!

“Here is your winner, by disqualification… ‘The Shooting Star of XWA’ and ‘The Wizard of Oz’ MCNUGGET!!”

American Psycho 2 – D12 resounds infinitely throughout the arena as McNugget is announced the winner. Ash is still in disbelief of what just transpired as the fans cheer for the once arrogant wrestler turned fan favourite, McNugget.

“Oh my god, what an ending. Did you see that, Bull? I wasn’t expecting that at all. McNugget pulls out a win by disqualification!”

“You got to expect the unexpected. I was surprised that match went as long as it did, I thought McNugget would dominate but he got dominated! Wow!”

“Despite McNugget getting the win, his pride must have been hurt severely after getting his ass whipped by a girl.”

“Quiet Cedar, she’ll hear you. The performance by Ash tonight just showed you can never underestimate a girl. The divas division is for real!”

“I suppose your right, Eric. But I’m still in awe. Look at the expression on Ash’s face; she doesn’t look happy at all.”

“Well would you look happy if you just lost a match? Oh wait, what is Ash doing?”

Ash suddenly picks up the Steel Chair as a bloodied McNugget rises to his. McNugget has blood streaming down his face from the Steel Chair shot that got Ash disqualified. It was a sickening thud. Ash then re-creates the sickening thud by stabbing McNugget brutally in the ribs with the Steel Chair. McNugget is stunned and staggered as Ash follows up with a picture perfect Sky Fall, almost kicking McNugget’s head off. Charades of boos then start to pour in from the crowd in disapproval of Ash’s dirty tactics. Ash then lies on top of McNugget in a mount position and starts making him more bloodied then he already is with vicious left and right hands followed by a swift elbow thrown every now and then. All of a sudden, the crowd starts cheering. Ash tilts her head up wondering what’s going on and she gets a look of horror on her face. Here comes Team XWA! Jason Sparks, Smoke Xtreme, King Edge and Safari Man all start running down the stage. As soon as Ash notices them she ducks out of the ring wisely. Team XWA help out their hurt comrade, McNugget. McNugget gets to his feet, dazed, but shakes off the cobwebs. Just when Team XWA is about to exit the ring…

Bodies – Drowning Pool begins blasting through the PA System. The crowd erupt into more cheers as Team SIW walks out on to the stage! Here come J Glick A, Tyler Lawson, Kyle Kross, Kjki Mitchell and Killer J! Team XWA get the same expression as Ash got previously. Team SIW then grin as they stand on the top of the stage. They nod their heads agreeing and then charge the ring in a modern warfare fashion. Team XWA look startled and unprepared for the young and crazed SIW Team. Both teams from different promotions go head to head, belting the crap out of each other with flying rights and lefts, even knees and elbow. Tyler Lawson then throws McNugget out of the ring dominantly and McNugget hits the floor hard. Jason Sparks is next to go by the hellacious Kjki Mitchell. King Edge and Safari Man are next eliminated by Killer J and Kyle Kross. Then the whole SIW Team gangs up on the lone survivor Razor Xtreme and toss him out too. Team SIW stand in the ring, showing who was the more clever and devious team tonight. They all raise their hands in victory, but who will win when it counts. It’s all on the line this Sunday at King of Xtreme.

“Wow, I wasn’t expecting that. First the second onslaught from Ash, the arrival of Team XWA and then the brawl from Team SIW!”

“What a night we’ve had so far! It only gets better from here!”

“And don’t forget ladies and gentlemen, Team SIW takes on Team XWA at King of Xtreme in a five on five elimination match. Make sure you tune is.”

“I’m Eric Bull, alongside Ted Cedar. Don’t go anywhere cause we will be back soon.”

The screen fades to commercial.

-XWA King of Xtreme Main Event!-
XWA Tag Team Championship
NAI vs. NWD
T...L...C!

10:53 AM

Kanimaniac is sitting outside the Stadium of Light with Lacey. It’s a bitterly cold day, and he’s waiting for Caleb Spires to show up. Both are wrapped up like two Eskimos, due to the uncharacteristically harsh winter. Each breath hangs like a wispy ghost in the air, eventually dissipating. Kanimaniac breathes out once more, and sees Caleb marching up to him, complete with kit bag. Kanimaniac waves his arm in the air, and stands up to greet him. Caleb half smiles and puts his bags down next to the bench that Chris and Lacey were sitting on. He claps his hands together, and rubs them, trying to generate some heat.

Kani: What took you?

Caleb: Oh man... I got lost, and this guy came up to me and offered to sell me drugs. It was weird.

Kani: Drugs?

Caleb: Yeah, I was just standing there looking around and he came up to me and said ‘what’s the crack?’

Kani: Oh...that doesn’t mean...

Caleb: ...then I told him I don’t do drugs, and he looks at ME as if I’m crazy.

Kani: He wasn’t offering you drugs.

Caleb: ...beg your pardon...

Kani: What’s the crack is...it’s like ‘what’s up?’ or ‘what’s going on?’ It’s just a saying that people say. It’s of Irish descent. Only it would be ‘what’s the craic?’ with craic meaning good banter, good times and all that.

Caleb: ...you know, you could have told me so I didn’t go around accusing people of offering me drugs. That would have been appreciated.

Kani: I didn’t think that we’d be out and about much...

Caleb: I’m lost here. I have no idea what anyone is saying and last night I saw a group or girls walk around in mini-skirts. It was -3 degrees!

Kani: We thought you might need help, so Lacey and I got you a present.

Kanimaniac reaches down into his bag, returning quickly with a small book entitled “Mackem Dictionary – Terms and Terminology” Caleb takes it and glances over it quickly. He flicks through the pages and smiles to himself.

Caleb: Awesome! Clout – to hit. Hmm... Ha’way – come on. I could get used to this.

Kani: Shall we go inside?

Caleb thumbs through the pages a couple of times, before putting the book down to his side and looking Kanimaniac in the eyes with intent.

Caleb: Aye!

NWD and Lacey walk inside the stadium to be greeted immediately by Gabriel ‘Blaze’ Angels and Alex Firecracker. Both teams stop to face off, Caleb going toe to toe with Firecracker, and Kanimaniac going face to face with Angels. A silence absorbs the two teams, as they stand looking at, and almost through, each other. Eventually, NAI step to the sides, letting NWD through. Neither man breaks his gaze from the other. They know that there will be plenty time for talking, and even more time for action later in the day. Right now, the most important thing is to get ready for the torture and torment of the tables, the ladders and the chairs. NWD go right to their designated locker rooms to discus their upcoming matches.

Caleb Spires: "I gotta tell you, Kani, I am actually feeling pretty confident tonight. I can't explain why, but I am more fired up for this match than I have been in weeks."

Kanimaniac: "Be as confident as you want, Caleb, we deserve it. This is OUR night! Tonight, you become a 6 time tag team champion, and I gain my first tag team championship. Tonight, NAI gets taken to limits they have yet to ever even CONSIDER being taken to!"

Caleb Spires: "You got that right! And then our next stop is none other than King of Xtreme."

Kanimaniac: "Speaking of King of Xtreme, just a heads up... Considering you are bound to be champion by Xtrememania unless you lose to the elimination chamber winner, I just wanted to tell you before anyone else knows. If I win the king of xtreme tournament, I WILL face you at Xtrememania."

Caleb Spires: "Really? No joking?"

Kanimaniac: "No joking at all. We need to see who the better man is. And headlining Xtrememania could do things we'd never think imaginable. We'd take OURSELVES to the very limit if we headlined Xtrememania. And when we face off, I want you to take yourself and myself to the limit."

Caleb Spires: "Although I disagree with that, I respect your decision. But remember; You still need to get through Razor and I may need to get through someone who wins the elimination chamber. Assuming 1 of us may lose, the plans would be screwed up. However, I have faith in the both of us. And if you really want to do this, than I won't try to talk you out of it."

Kanimaniac: "You say that as though you don't have faith in me beating you at all?"

Caleb Spires: "Whoa, I never said that.... But building up just a bit more experience before headlining the granddaddy of them all, Xtrememania, with Caleb Spires might be a good idea."

Kanimaniac: "I have the experience already. I am a young, hungry challenger and NOTHING will get in my way of gaining my first world title. Not friendship, not tag team titles, not even your massive ego, Caleb. We both need to let this subject drop before it escalates into even more. We need to be on the same page as best as we possibly can tonight if we expect to regain the tag team titles for NWD."

Caleb Spires: "I guess you're right, Kani. Don't worry, I'll try not to think of Xtrememania tonight so that we can make sure that absolutely nothing gets between us tonight."

11:09 AM

NAI are sitting in one of the dressing rooms in the Stadium, which has been converted into a makeshift locker room for the wrestlers, with bags littered around everywhere. NAI take out their tag team titles and place them on their lap. They take a moment to look down at their titles. Angels buffs his belt with the sleeve of his jacket, before putting the belt over his shoulder.

Firecracker: It’s strange to think that in effect, Spires has been half of the tag division in XWA. He’s been the tag champions as NWD with 3 different partners. The thing is, this could be our advantage. This ‘new team’...they have never teamed before. They’re going for the tag team titles in a TLC match, and at Xtrememania they could be facing each other for the titles. We have the stronger unit here, and we can make it work to our advantage.

Angels: Yeah. You know, I’ve noticed that over the weeks and months we’ve teamed together, we’ve developed an unspoken language. It’s like an instinct. We know what the other is thinking at all times in the ring. I don’t know if that can be said for our opponents. I think we have an edge here. That being said, it’s going to be hard for everyone. It’s going to be vicious and unpredictable. The main thing is that NAI stand in the ring with their titles held in the air, like the fighting champions we are.

NAI shake hands, smiling. They take a moment to hold their titles up, clinking them together.

Firecracker: So many factors to this match...there’s the history between me and Spires. We’ve never seen eye to eye on any other level than professional really.

Angels: I’ve got the upcoming match for the Hardcore Title with Kanimaniac.

Firecracker: ...and, of course, there are the tag titles. This is really what it's all about. Which team can finally call themselves the greatest tag team in XWA today.

Angels: "And just bringing it up... But we are both in 2 main event matches for King of Xtreme. I think we both plan on winning them."

Firecracker: "You bet we do! Just picture it; After we beat Caleb and Kanimaniac tonight, you go onto win the vacant XWA World Championship. And then I, using my million dollar championship that I WILL win, cash in on Caleb on Vendetta and we walk into Xtrememania holding both world gold from our respective brands. NAI will slowly take over XWA!"

Angels: This is it. Let’s steal the show, Alex!

NAI are left in the room to prepare further for the match, hanging up their titles in the lockers. Then they have a private conversation as the camera fades out.

XWA KING OF XTREME – MAIN EVENT!

The hours pass by, and both teams start to feel it. That feeling that you get right in the pit of your stomach. The wrenching unease you feel before ‘that big moment’. The card has been stacked so far, and soon it’s time for these two teams to put on a show to send the fans home happy.

NWD -
Spires and Kanimaniac shadow box with each other. Speed and reflexes are going to be important. You need to get that ladder and climb it as fast as you can and get those titles. Sharp as a tack, quick as a flash. Fast. Deadly. Alert.

NAI –
Firecracker and Angels do press ups side by side. Strength and focus are important in any match, but in this match, these men will be shifting tables, ladders and chairs around for an extended period of time. Focus makes sure you don’t end up on your ass, watching the other team climb the mountain and get the prize you work so hard for.

NWD –
Spires and Kanimaniac do shuttle runs in the dressing room. They need to keep light on their feet, especially with two men with the tendencies of Angels and Firecracker. Counter high-flying with high-flying and get to the skies before they do, but also make sure you can get out of sticky situations in a heartbeat.

NAI –
Firecracker and Angels pad up. Their bodies are about to receive a physical beating. Joints and muscles will burn and ache. They need all the support they can to protect them out there...not that it offers much reprieve from splintering wood and cold steel. One last jog in place, and the champions take their titles and burst out of the locker room door.

Both teams exit their respective dressing areas, XWA World Heavyweight Champion, Caleb Spires. XWA RSD Champion Chris Kanimaniac with Lacey walk side by side down the hall, none of them talking, only looking down in a moment of silent solidarity. NAI do the same. Both men look at their XWA Tag Team Titles. This is what it’s all about. What they’re fighting for. Suddenly, both teams meet face to face.

Confidence: The belief that you can get the job done. Perhaps the most powerful psychological tool a wrestler can have to get him through. If you can keep that going, you can go far. Both teams ooze it. Their stony expressions offer no weakness, but hide an unspoken anxiety that can’t take control. The final moment before they leave for the ring seems like the longest and the most quiet of all.

Firecracker (thinking): This is it.

Spires (thinking): This is it.

Angels (thinking): Go big or go home.

Kani (thinking): Fight or flight.

Firecracker: So this is it. The TLC match to end all TLC matches. Everything else before this is just a prequel. This is the night that all four of us show how a TLC match is supposed to be done.

Spires: Gentlemen, this could potentially be one of THE moments in XWA history. People will talk about this for years, so we better hope we can bring it. Both NWD and NAI have shown why they deserve to be in contention for the tag titles. Tonight, NWD will prove why we deserve those titles and why we are the best team in the history of XWA. Make no mistake about it, we may be battered, bloodied and beaten down, but when all is said and done, we will be standing at the top of the ladder holding the gold firmly in our hands.

Firecracker: There's one problem with that. NAI won't lie down and die. We KNOW we are the greatest, and these belts confirm it. Tonight, we put the final nail in the coffin of this feud. This is where NAI send a clear message to every other team here that we are what we say we are. We're the Icons of the New Age. We are representative of everything that wrestling should be, and we do it in perfect symphony. When we're good, we're good. When the situation requires it, we're outstanding.

Angels: NAI are going into this match like there's no tomorrow. No second chance. We are going into this with one clear, unadulterated aim and vision: retaining those belts. Reaching up to the heavens and taking down a slice of glory. As much as we respect you, tonight, you might need a serious case of divine intervention to get those belts.

Kani: Divine intervention? That's funny, because I was thinking the exact same thing...for you two. You've faced NWD in the past, you've even beaten NWD in the past, but trust me when I say this...you haven't faced and beaten the NEW NWD. We have a fire burning fiercely inside of us tonight. I, for one, would love to wear that tag team gold around my waist.

Angels: We'll see...

Spires: Yes, we will.

Silence again, until in the distance, a ring bell is heard. A muffled sound of a commentator is heard.

Garcia: The following is your main event, and it is for the XWA Tag Team Titles!

Both teams break away from each other, and walk towards the curtain, listening to the roar of the sold-out stadium: 49,000 people cheering, sending quivers through the stadium’s foundations. They've had their time to talk, now it's time to back it up.

In the ring:

Garcia: In this match, the first team to climb the ladder and retrieve the XWA Tag Team Titles suspended above the ring will be crowned the new champions!

Eric Bull: This is it, folks. Time for the TLC match!

The lights die in the arena, as ‘Enter Sandman’ signals the arrival of New World Dominance! The drum beat causes flashes of white to come and go, creating a strobe effect around the stadium. The fans are on their feet with their camcorders and digital cameras, getting ready to get shots of the 2 NWD stars. Many fans hold up their pro-NWD signs, hoping that their favorite stars may even see and acknowledge them. The fans are mainly quiet as they are just enjoying the song.

Garcia: Introducing first, the challengers. At a combined weight of 405lbs, New...World...Dominance!

When the guitar kicks in again, fireworks shoot up all around the stage and NWD emerge from behind the curtain to receive a thunderous response. Both Spires and Kanimaniac are wearing NWD hoodies and have their titles around their waists. Caleb is in his signature gold attire, and Kanimaniac is sporting a red and white mask with red and white tights. They receive a very enthusiastic reception, partly due to the fact that Kanimaniac is a local and he reciprocates this by displaying the regional colors. Both men pose for the crowd at the top of the ramp, Caleb Spires kneels down to one knee in front of Kanimaniac, facing the ramp with his head down. Kanimaniac stands behind Caleb and sprays red mist into the air, after which, Caleb throws his arms up, posing for the fans. They pose for the crowd a little longer, before Kanimaniac vaults over Caleb’s shoulders, landing in a roll and onto his feet. Caleb gets up to his feet and does his signature point to the crowd, kissing the tips of his index and middle finger before pointing out at the people.

Ted Cedar: Here comes the newest incarnation of New World Dominance, Caleb Spires and Chris Kanimaniac, who will be teaming for the first time here tonight, and if there’s any match that they’d want to win, it’s this one.

Eric Bull: Very true, but they’re up against two world class wrestlers, plus it’s a TLC, so both men have to work together as a team as well as working as separate units, and you have to wonder if the lack of experience as a team will prove to be a factor.

Ted Cedar: Indeed. Both have been in teams before, but have never teamed together. We’ll see how the chemistry between them is tonight.

Spires and Kanimaniac take time to slap the outstretched hands of the fans down the ramp, but still keep their attention on the ring, clearly preoccupied with the task at hand. Both men meet half way down the ramp, exchanging a few words before running towards the ring. As they continue on down the ring, they look at all the supplies that are around the ringside area. There is one ladder, which stands at 16 feet high in the center of the ramp. Caleb is nearly possessed by the beauty of such a tool, seeing as he is a ladder/TLC veteran, having been in well over 10 in his entire career. Kanimaniac stares at it, gulping, as he has never been in a TLC match. There's a first time for everything, he supposes as he nods his head in consent that... he will use it... Kanimaniac slides under the bottom rope, but Caleb leaps to the apron and in one continuous motion, springboards to the top rope and hits a corkscrew flip into the ring, landing on his feet. NWD then go to separate turnbuckles to work the crowd, clapping and pointing and motioning them to their feet. NWD look out at the sea of humanity, as it ripples with human life. They jump back off the turnbuckles and begin to stretch out, all the while exchanging a few last minute words of preparation. In their minds, they are wondering about what might happen in the match. Caleb's mind is saying "What if I cause us to lose? Chris is on the push of his life and if I cause a loss, then I'd be failing him as a partner." Kanimaniac's mindset is much more different from Caleb's. "I won't fail you, Caleb. We're going to get the tag team titles back and then win at King of Xtreme."

Immediately after their music dies down, ‘Hero’ blares out, signallng the arrival of the XWA Tag Team Champions themselves, the New Age Icons! The fans continue the rapturous cheering, heralding the arrival of the champions. Fans are taking pictures, recording the entrances, holding hands out for NAI to slap them, holding up their pro Alex and Gabriel Blaze Angels signs, and just flat-out yelling for them in encouragement. Thick white smoke shoots up from in front of the entrance way, almost suffocating the entire stage for what seems like a minute, building the anticipation. From out of the dense white smoke, two shadowy figures appear, though faint at first. They are, of course, the champions, NAI. Gabriel Blaze Angels and Alex Firecracker step out onto the stage with their tag team titles visibly clear across their waists. The two have such huge grins that only losing the titles could make them disappear. Alex and Gabriel turn sideways as they nod at each other and continue down the ring.

Garcia: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 450lbs, they are the reigning and defending XWA Tag Team Champions, the New...Age...Icons!

They suddenly emerge from the smoke to another wave of cheering, as they point out to the fans. The stadium lights gleam brilliantly off the belts. Firecracker is sporting a black and red attire with taped up wrists, whereas Angels is wearing a more eccentric red and orange attire, with 'Blaze' written down one leg. Gabriel stands on the ramp with his legs spread apart as he does the three "Boom!" taunt in which he smacks his hands together. Upon every time the hands make contacts, pyro goes off. Both men look just as focused as their opponents standing in the ring, only occasionally extending hands to meet with fans. Right now, they are emmersed in the atmosphere and the tension in those last remaining meters to the ring. Around ringside, Alex and Gabriel check their surroundings and see tables, ladders, and chairs, as expected. Gabriel is looking at a think chair that could give someone a concussion upon one shot to the head and he doesn't take his eyes off of it. He knows what he wants. Alex has his sights set on the tables. Visions of Caleb bloody and battered and crying in pain as he slams Caleb's limp body through a sturdy table that hurts enough to make it so that Caleb can't move for days. Before getting into the ring, they bump knuckles, and roll into the ring.

Eric Bull: Here they come, the XWA Tag Team Champions!

Ted Cedar: They defeated Caleb Spires and McNugget some months back to win the titles, and since then NWD has been intent on getting them back. In just a few short minutes, those titles will be suspended high above the ring, free for any man from either team to go for. That has to be playing on the minds of the champs.

Eric Bull: Absolutely, they essentially don’t have a championship advantage in this match. Then again, NWD are in the exact same boat.

NAI hold their titles above their heads as fireworks explode in a variety of different colours along the stage, ending in one large explosion at the end. Gabriel heads over to a corner and gets on the second rope. Gabriel plays off to the crowd before a perfectly executed back flip in which he spikes the landing in the center of the ring. They stand in front of NWD, almost putting on a display, to intimidate NWD. They hold their belts up one more time, before walking over to their opponents face to face. Thoughts go through Alex's head of "We beat Caleb in a tag team match last time, we can do it again. We can do this, we can beat Caleb and his new partner." Gabriel has some other thoughts going through his head such as "We can't lose on our first defense. We're too good for that."

Ted Cedar: Mind games.

Eric Bull: Good call...

They part ways up to the turnbuckles with their belts, symbolically holding them up in the air and pointing at them. They pose for the fans a little while longer, before hopping back to the ring and handing the titles to the waiting referee.

The ref holds both belts above his heads, shows them to NWD, and then fastens them securely to the steel hoop, tugging them both to make sure they don’t fall. This is the closest either team will get to them without the use of a ladder until all is said and done. The ref motions to both teams, asking if they understand the rules. He then signals for the bell...

~Ding! Ding! Ding!~

The four competitors stand in the ring, each in a corner of their own. Each man looks up in the air and sees the set of the XWA tag team titles dangling from a little hook that is somewhere between 15 to 20 feet in the air. Caleb shifts his eyes to the outside and locks his eyes on a big, aluminum ladder that is 12 feet high. Caleb knows what he wants. Alex has his sights set on something as well. Alex is eying a long, wooden table that is nearly 2 inches thick and could definitely make Caleb cry. Kanimaniac and Gabriel Blaze Angels have their eyes on 2 steel chairs. The 4 remain in the ring doing absolutely nothing, until someone makes a move. The first to make a move is Gabriel Blaze Angels. Gabriel lunges at Kanimaniac with a spinning wheel kick that knocks Kanimaniac into a corner. Alex shoots on Caleb and scoops him up before turning and slamming Caleb on his back, taking him down at the same time, doing a double leg takedown. Gabriel, on the other side of the ring, has Kanimaniac in a chinlock when we go back to those two. Gabriel is adding massive torque to the neck of Kanimaniac who is trying to break free. Back to Alex and Caleb, Alex has Caleb up in a torture rack position. Alex begins bouncing up and down with Caleb's back striking the shoulder blades of Alex in what is known as the submission move, the torture rack. Caleb is hollering in pain as he begs Alex to please stop. Alex continues with the submission though, contorting the back of the much weaker Caleb Spires. Alex, after getting tired of Caleb, begins twirling in a circle before he tosses Caleb down on his back, sitting out for a torture rack powerbomb. As Caleb's back strikes the mat, he bounces up just a little bit in pain, as he rolls out of the ring. On the other side, Kanimaniac is still in the chinlock, trying to fight his way out of it. Gabriel Blaze sees that Kanimaniac is beginning to break it, so Gabriel reverses the position and gets back to back with Kanimaniac. Gabriel drops down to his knees for a inverted headlock backbreaker that sends Kanimaniac off his feet and rolling around on the ground holding his back. Gabriel rolls to the apron as Kanimaniac is still down. Gabriel jumps to the top rope and vaults back in with a springboard elbow drop driving his elbow right into the chest of poor Kanimaniac. Kanimaniac is wheezing, trying to get more oxygen in his lungs. On the outside, Caleb has a ladder which he sets on the apron, about to take it in. This was not the smartest thing Caleb has ever done, because Alex ends up baseball sliding the ladder into Caleb's ribs. Caleb stumbles back, landing on the ground as he tends to his ribs.

Eric Bull: "The match is starting out strong and I love it already."

Back on the inside, Kanimaniac is starting to gain a bit of momentum as he gives Gabriel a few open hand chops to the chest, and one even to the face. Gabriel doesn't like this, and he fires back with a strong forearm to the face. Kanimaniac stumbles a bit, but refuses to leave his feet. Gabriel fires back, this time striking Kanimaniac in the head with a bionic elbow. This is enough to cause Kanimaniac to fall straight on his back. Kanimaniac gets back up, though, so he comes back to Gabriel. Gabriel attempts another bionic elbow, but Kanimaniac ducks and gets Gabriel in an STO position... In fact, he even delivers an STO to Gabriel, using his strength to lift Gabriel up a bit before taking him down. As the momentum begins to shift, Gabriel gets back up soon, holding his back. Kanimaniac nails an elbow into Gabriel's stomach and he bounces off the ropes to try some sort of running move. When Kanimaniac returns, Gabriel spins him around and slams him down with a black hole slam with such velocity that Kanimaniac nearly gets sent straight through the ring. Back on the outside, Alex has Caleb up on his shoulders in a fireman carry position with a ladder set across the ring and crowd barrier. Alex tosses Caleb off his shoulders delivering a brutal fireman carry slam onto the ladder that is across the ring and barrier. Caleb sits up, on the ladder with his eyes wide open in pain. Caleb rolls off onto his knees where he is holding his back. Alex nears him, and Caleb basically says "Time Out." Alex laughs at this and he kicks Caleb in the skull. Back in the ring, Kanimaniac is suffering in a submission hold at the hands of Gabriel Angels. Angels sits on Kanimaniac's back while he is in a devastating submission known as a sharpshooter. After a few seconds in the hold, Kanimaniac crawls to the ropes, speedy as possible, so that Gabriel will break the hold. Although he doesn't HAVE to, Gabriel breaks the hold because he has good sportsmanship. Kanimaniac starts getting back up, and Gabriel rushes at him, and chop blocks him, sending him back to the ground. Kanimaniac's leg buckles under him as he collapses to the mat, holding his leg. On the outside, Caleb is trying to get back in the ring, but Alex won't allow that to happen. Alex pulls Caleb straight off of the apron. Alex gets Caleb in a scoop slam position but then just drives Caleb's back onto his knee courtesy of a backbreaker. But Alex doesn't even let go. He holds on so he can scoop slam Caleb on the outside onto the ground. Back in the ring, Gabriel is walking around with Kanimaniac and then drops Kanimaniac's shin on his knee perfecting a shinbreaker.Kanimaniac falls to the ground, Gabriel still holding his leg. Gabriel attempts a figure four leg lock, but Kanimaniac takes his foot and shoves Gabriel off, into the corner. Gabriel strikes the corner and bounces off, right into a T-Bone suplex from Kanimaniac. Gabriel is in pain, but Kanimaniac quickly follows up by jumping to the top rope, and nailing a corkscrew senton onto the body of Gabriel, just adding more pain. On the outside of the ring, Caleb actually has Alex in control. Caleb is controlling Alex with a front facelock to make it so that Alex can't go anywhere, but Alex just uses his cunning ability to grab Caleb behind the knee caps and lift him up. Alex brings Caleb back down to the outside with a Northern lights type of suplex that is actually hard to explain. Gabriel is back to his feet on the inside, and Kaniamniac tries to take him down. However, Gabriel catches Kaniamaniac flying at him with a battering ram straight to the ribs. Kaniamniac falls down holding his ribs, and Gabriel climbs to the top, before coming off with a shooting star press with such speed and force that Gabriel nearly breaks Kaniamniac in half. Kaniamniac holds his body as Gabriel begins standing basck up to a cheering crowd. On the outside, Alex has Caleb in a full Nelson. Caleb desperately flails his arms in an attempt to get out, but the force is too much. Alex lifts him up, trying a full nelson slam, but Caleb back flips out of it and onto his feet. Caleb nails a high knee strike to the face of Alex, and Alex falls straight down. Gabriel rolls out of the ring through the top and bottom ropes, and this causes Kanimaniac to suddenly get out of the ring. Kanimaniac hops out for a chair, like Gabriel Blaze Angels is doing. Caleb is headed for his ladder which is set up on the ramp. Alex Firecracker is in hot pursuit behind Spires. Caleb grabs the ladder, and Alex begins clubbing him in the back. Caleb stumbles forward, knocking the ladder down. Alex takes Caleb by the arm and Irish whips him into the ring apron. Caleb arches his back that made contact with the ring as you can plainly see the horrid expressions of pain on his face. On the other side of the ring, Kanimaniac has a chair, as does Gabriel Blaze Angels. Kanimaniac lifts the chair up, and Gabriel pinpoints the exact moment that he needs. Gabriel Blaze swings his chair into Kanimaniac's chair, which forces the chair of Kanimaniac's to go straight into his face. Kanimaniac, upon the impact of the chair, falls straight onto his back, dropping the chair in the process. Back to Caleb and Alex, Alex has lain the 12 ladder, vertically, against the ring apron. Caleb is on his back on the ground with his legs lifted up, his ankles buried in Alex's armpits. Alex, as fast as he possibly can, falls straight back. This causes Caleb to be lashed upward, and even jumping off his feet. Caleb, in the air, cannot stop himself from crashing and burning at the impact of a slingshot straight into the ladder. The side of the ladder catches Caleb in the head, and Caleb collapses on the ground holding the side of his head. Caleb rolls around on the outside, wallowing in pain as the scraped side of his head is being held in Caleb's hands. Back to Kanimaniac and Gabriel Blaze Angels, Gabriel tosses Kanimaniac back into the ring, and Kanimaniac starts getting up. Gabriel gets in after him and he has a chair in his hands. Kanimaniac turns so that he is facing Gabriel Blaze Angels. Gabriel swings the chair at full force, and the steel chair collides with Kanimaniac's head. Immediately upon the contact of cranium to steel, Kanimniac falls straight to his back as the arena echoes to the crack of the chair. Alex Firecracker then slips back in the ring and sees Kanimaniac on the ground, shaking cobwebs out of his head. Alex and Gabriel converse quietly so that the cameras cannot hear and then Gabriel nods his head. Alex and Gabriel both pick Kanimaniac up. Alex drapes Kanimaniac's arm over his neck and lifts him up for what seems to be a back body drop. Alex has other plans. Alex drops Kanimaniac forward, sticking his knee right into both his butt and scrotum in a move known as an atomic drop. Kanimaniac's genitalia strikes Alex's knee, and he bounces off, holding his groin. The look in Kanimaniac's eyes show just how painful a move such as that truly is. Kanimaniac is crouched over with a hurting expression on his face, and Gabriel Blaze rushes to the ropes. Gabriel bounces off the ropes and comes back to Kanimaniac who is in the center. Gabriel, swiftly and quickly, meets Kanimaniac and drops down to the mat, taking Kanimaniac's head with him. Gabriel spikes Kanimaniac's head into the ground with a DDT which completes the tag team move of NAI, the atomic DDT. Kanimaniac rolls over to his back, trying to rub the pain out of his neck after the amazing DDT from Gabriel Blaze Angels. Alex Firecracker rolls to the outside of the ring and Caleb is on his hands and knees. Alex rushes at him and grunts loudly as he boots Caleb in the gut. Caleb coughs as he rolls to his back, holding his rib cage. Alex grabs the ladder that Caleb had been flung into earlier, and he slides it inside the ring. Alex gets in and Gabriel meets him. The two grab one side of the ladder and hold in, 12 feet apart from each other. Kanimaniac, using only the ropes to help him up, manages to reach his feet. Kanimaniac turns around, and NAI charge at him, smashing the ladder into his midsection, and knocking him down to the mat. The fans are in a frenzy for both of the New Age Icons, who are proving just why they are the champions. NAI drop the ladder that they used on Kanimaniac and Alex grabs Gabriel Blaze by the elbow and back. Alex Irish whips Gabriel Blaze into the ropes, and Gabriel comes back to meet Alex. Alex back body drops Gabriel over the top rope so that Gabriel lands right on Caleb with their double team move the back body bomb. Gabriel Blaze Angels flops down straight on Caleb, taking both Caleb and himself out in the process. The fans are cheering Gabriel for the insane maneuver he just did. Alex turns around, and Kanimaniac is getting back up from the ladder shot. Alex wonders on over to Kanimaniac and begins pulling him up. Kanimaniac chops Alex in the chest. A handprint is left on Alex's chest as the fans "WOO!" at the chop. Alex clenches his red chest and fires back with a knife-edge chop of his own. Unfortunately for Alex, Kanimaniac ducks Alex's chop and then jumps high in the air. The fans are astounded at the beauty of the dropkick that Kanimaniac delivers, as he plants both of the feet straight into Alex's chest and stomach area as he rotates back onto his feet as Alex is sent stumbling down to the ground. Alex begins getting back to his feet, and Kanimaniac decides to capitalize by bouncing off the ropes and running at Alex with a full head of steam. Alex calculates the exact movement of Kanimaniac, however, and blindsides him by jumping to his feet and clobbering Kanimaniac, nearly decapitating him with a vicious clothesline that has so much force that Kanimaniac starts doing a shooting star press, but then just falls straight on the back of his neck, lying there, unmoving. Somehow on the outside, Caleb managed to get the upper hand on Gabriel Blaze, so Caleb comes back in the ring to fight Alex. What Caleb didn't expect is that Alex has the ladder and jams Caleb right in the rib-cage with it. Alex tosses the ladder aside as he wraps both of his arms around Caleb's waist. Alex hoists Caleb up, turns at a 180 angle, and drives Caleb back down with a standing belly to belly suplex. Alex lands on top of Caleb, crushing him to the ground as Alex bounces back up. Caleb Spires, instead of squirm around the ring, simply rolls to the outside. Alex Firecracker picks the ladder back up and for the first time in the match attempts to climb it. Kanimaniac, who has recovered from the clothesline, gets back up and begins climbing the other side of the ladder. Alex has neared the top, and Kanimaniac gets closer as well as he forearms Alex in the face. Alex is taken back by this, and he begins falling backward, with one hand on the top of the ladder to support himself. Alex fires back with a chop to the chest of Kanimaniac, who catches his balance before falling off as well. Alex reaches over the ladder and hoists Kanimaniac up onto his shoulder. Kanimaniac tries to fight off, but Alex takes a daring leap and jumps off the ladder, driving Kanimaniac straight into the mat with a vicious powerslam from almost 10 feet high, crushing Kanimaniac into the ground.

Ted Cedar: "What a powerslam! The velocity of that powerslam was forceful enough, but when it's from the top of a ladder, you could easily crack a rib."

Eric Bull: "This just goes to show why the New Age Icons are the tag team champions, and why they managed to take the titles off of NWD. They manhandled them last time, and they're manhandling them now."

Kanimaniac is on the ground, immobilized for the time being as Alex is just recovering, due to the fact that he took a pretty big bump just to do that move. Alex begins to reach his feet, and Caleb Spires rushes in, attempting to get the best of Alex while he's hurt. Caleb pulls Alex in for his move, the caution, but it is unsuccessful. As Caleb had his back turned, Gabriel rushes into the ring with a chair and swings at Caleb's back at full force, smacking the chair right across his back. Caleb plummets to the ground, succumbing to the sly move by Angels. Alex goes to the outside to fetch a table as Gabriel has Caleb on the inside. Gabriel pulls Caleb to his feet and gets him in an inverted facelock position. Gabriel swings Caleb by a little bit, and then makes a full twist. This twist turns Caleb over, planting his face into the shoulder of Angels with a rolling cutter. Caleb's eyes are shut and Angels gets back to his feet. Alex has part of the table in the ring, and Angels helps him pull all of it in the ring. Alex gets in, and the 2 work together by setting up the table. Alex gets the drowsy Caleb up, and gets him in position for a spinebuster. Alex nears the table, and Gabriel pulls out a surprise attack by jumping up and grabbing the back of Caleb's neck. Gabriel comes down, taking Caleb with him by giving him a jumping neckbreaker while Alex helps drive Caleb through the table with a spinebuster.

Ted Cedar: "Oh my...what an impact. Caleb Spires just got driven straight through that table."

NAI now turn back to the ring, where Kanimaniac has sat himself in the far right corner, holding his back. Angels and Firecracker grab a chair each, and slowly roll into the ring. Kanimaniac struggles to his feet, and just as Firecracker swings at him with a shot, he rolls under it. Angels then takes a swing at him, but once again, Kanimaniac manages to dodge it. He pulls the chair out of Angels’ hands and uses it to block a shot from Firecracker. Kanimaniac then throws the chair at him and runs to the ropes. He leaps into the air for a double lariat, but is only caught by NAI in a double flapjack, driving his face into one of the steel chairs. Kanimaniac holds his upper body in pain, with the steel chair catching him in the ribs. Firecracker quickly sets up a ladder in the corner of the ring, whilst Angels picks Kanimaniac up to his feet and backs him into the corner. The ladder teeters a bit out of the corner, but Firecracker pushes it back forcefully to make sure it won't budge. Firecracker then joins Angels in the corner, and both men simultaneously grab one of Kanimaniac's arms and whip him across the ring, sending him crashing into the cold steel ladders with a thud. Kanimaniac bounces off, and the ladders fall down on top of him again, adding insult to injury.

Kanimaniac rolls around on the mat in pain as NAI begin to pick him apart whilst Caleb is momentarily incapacitated. NAI hook Kanimaniac up before he gets to his feet, and takes him down with a lightning quick double suplex. Caleb Spires, by this point, has made his way to his feet and climbs onto the apron. Angels notices him standing on the apron, and cannot react quick enough to a springboard shoulder block. Spires gets back to his feet, in time to begin trading shots with Firecracker, as both men punch and chop away at each other relentlessly. Spires works Firecracker into a corner, connecting with a couple more chops. However, Firecracker quickly manages to change the momentum, putting his hands under Spires’ arm pits and shift him up to the turnbuckle. Firecracker unloads with open handed chops to the chest of Spires, before backing off a little bit. From out of nowhere, Kanimaniac runs at Firecracker and leapfrogs him. Kanimaniac continues, jumping straight to the turnbuckle that Spires is seated on. He then hits a frankensteiner on Spires, flipping him through the air and allowing him to take Firecracker down with a hurricanrana!

Ted Cedar: I thought Kanimaniac was going for a frankensteiner on Caleb, but both men turned it into a beautiful tag team move!

NWD spring up to their feet, and sees Angels charging at them. Angels slides under Kanimaniac’s legs, and quickly connects with a spinning heel kick to the back, taking him to the corner. Spires and Angels are left in the centre of the ring. Angels takes Spires down with a swift deep armdrag, before following up with a running tornado DDT. Spires lands hard and Angels looks to the outside for another table. He rouses Firecracker to help him. Firecracker connects with a hard elbow to the jaw of Kanimaniac, making sure he goes down. NAI then make it to the outside of the ring, where they get their hands on a table. They throw it into the ring, but it doesn’t stop there. They pick up another one, and throw that inside the ring as well!

Eric Bull: Looks like NAI are planning some ‘home improvements’ with those tables!

Ted Cedar: Soon enough, NWD may be ‘pasted’ over the ring.

NWD crawl to the centre of the ring, as NAI g
