Croke Park
Dublin, Ireland
Capacity: 80,000
The arena goes completely black as the 80,000 screaming fans erupt in cheers as they know the show is about to start. The EOD Logo clicks onto the tron before we are treated to the following sentence displayed one word at a time “Survive, Rise, Thrive! Annihilation, Armageddon, Doomsday are on the way ... who will crumble, who will fall, who will rise, who will thrive?” The tron then flicks to black again as rubble begins to fall on the screen before …
The arena erupts in pyrotechnics as the stage set is revealed. The Xtremetron is in shambles. It is lopsided and looks to be falling apart. Rubble sits to either side of the entryway. The screen is cracked. There is a constant spewing of that haunting smoke covering the entry way and all down the ramp. Lining the ramp down to the ringside area are headstones all labeled with past winners of the EOD tourney as well as one headstone for each of the fourteen men who have failed to win THIS year’s tourney and 14 headstones for the people who fell in the Annihilator! The ring however is pristine, illuminated in bright spotlights representing the area where today people will either survive, rise, and thrive … or fall to annihilation … at End of Days 2018! An aura of spookiness hovers over the entire Croke Park arena as the 80,000 continue to cheer as the cameras focus on Jerry “The King” Lawler and XHF Original Joey Hawke!
Joey: The time is finally here King! Welcome one and all, to Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland! We are here for the 2018 rendition of the XHF Network Presents: End of Days!
King: Annihilation is the theme this year Joey. We have the Annihilation Complex, our first ever Haunted Hall of Fame match, we have tag teams competing to avoid being sealed in a sack of potatoes. But first … we promised you last week we would give you a FULL replay of the hellacious DOOMSDAY CAGE tag title match so let’s turn to the Xtreme Tron and get the show kicked off properly with that match!!
The tron roars to life as the lights dim for proper viewing and the crowd dies down to allow for the introductions. The Network feed however clicks over as if we are still in Alcatraz, no video artifacts, only the highest definition for the Network subscribers!
Bonnie Jenkins: The following match is scheduled for one fall inside the Doomsday Cage match! Entering first from the United Kingdom, weighing a combined 385 pounds, Bobby Barratt and the XHF X*Crown Champion Jack Diamond, THE ICONS!
*"Motherfucker of the Year" echoes around the arena as the fans start to boo. Trash starts to hit the ramp because they know what's coming. A few seconds later, Bobby Barratt, Jack Diamond and Maverick emerge onto the ramp, seeming to enjoy the reaction they are getting. They take a slow walk down to the ring, savouring every boo, jeer and taunt coming from the crowd, while joking amongst themselves. One by one, they step through the ropes, entering the ring before awaiting their opponents. Maverick pats them on the back then exits the ring and steps to the announcer's area.*
Bonnie Jenkins: And their opponents, based in Atlanta, Georgia and weighing a combined 490 pounds, they are the XHF Global Tag Team Champions, James Mueller and Venom, THE GUNS!
*The lights to the Recreation Yard shut off and the crowd begins to get on their feet in anticipation. The projection lights up on the main stage, showing the skyline of Atlanta and Ennio Morricone's "Ecstacy of Gold" begins to pour out of the arena speakers. Shots of Goldbear II trying to feast on salmon and cowboys riding horseback through the American West fill the projection. The crowd begins to sing with the music cheer for Goldbear II's appearances on the big screen. The final shot of "Ecstacy of Gold" has Goldbear catching and devouring a salmon in his mouth. Crowd massive pops for their favorite carnivore.
A lone harmonica for "Man with a Harmonica," by Morricone as well, begins to play while showing Goldbear II dining on a bloody feast of salmon. As the harmonica begins to the pick up and is accompanied by an electric guitar, Venom is shown in the video, and then James Mueller, and even Charlie Velez. It cuts back to Goldbear II and then action shots of Venom, Mueller and Velez. Eventually the song breaks down and goes right into "Out of the Black" by Royal Blood. More action shots of the Guns are shown before "THE YOUNG GUNS" come up in text on the projection. The "Young" flickers off and it now reads "THE GUNS."
The crowd pops as Venom and Mueller walk out in front of the projection and onto the main stage. The lights flash with every drum pop in the song. Both men look amped to be here and begin to walk down to the ring. Behind them on the main stage, Goldbear II comes out, dick and balls exposed, to the delight of every fan in attendance and watching at home. Mueller jogs up the stairs to the corner of the ring and pauses on the apron. He sways a little as he approaches the middle of the apron, one hand on the top rope. He leans towards the crowd, looks out, shakes his head at them with a smirk on his face, and then throws himself through the middle ropes on his feet. He spins around on his feet with his arms out to bit of nostalgic cheer. He jerks his arms to his sides and then calms himself down. Venom gets up to his feet and begins walking towards the ring and stops in front of the ring and looks from left to right with his hood still on and then enters the ring. Venom walks to the stairs with Goldbear II close behind walks up the stairs and across the ring apron to the middle. He and Goldbear enter the ring one at a time and walk to the center where he drops to one knee again and points to the sky. Venom and Mueller both meet up in the ring with a fist bump as they begin to take off their jackets and any accesories before the match starts. Goldbear is ushered out of the ring toward the entrance ramp by a very brave GUNS intern who Goldbear II proceeds to maul.
The steel cage lowers down and is secured to the ring, the door left unlocked. The glass cell then comes down around it and once on the ground the two teams head to the center of the ring.*

Doomsday Cage Match
The Icons (Bobby Barratt and Jack Diamond) vs. GUNS (Venom and James Mueller) ©
Mueller and Bobby are staring holes in each other as Venom and Jack Diamond feel each other out for a test of strength. Both pairs lock up as Goldbear roars on the outside. He chases the intern who dives into the broadcast well near the stage. Sparks fly. Nobody in the ring pays it half a mind. The two pairs jockey for position until The Icons end up back to back in the center of the ring. Mueller and Venom wheel back for stereo forearm shots but the icons dive to opposite sides and the Guns stop just millimeters from hitting each other. They look at each other smirk and turn around into stereo dropkicks sending them back to back into each other. The two men stumble away from each other. Jack bears down on Mueller and begins raining forearms into the back of the neck. Venom turns to face Bobby as a huge knife edge chop crashes into his chest. WOOOOOOs erupt from the crowd each time Bobby chops Venom. Venom holds his chest but then fires a right hand. Bobby retaliates and soon the two are trading punches in the corner of the ring. Jack meanwhile backs James to the turnbuckle and begins laying into him with boots before climbing the ropes for punches. Mueller however slips out from under him and shakes his finger to the crowd. Jack hops down behind him and swings but Mueller is a savvy XHF veteran and blocks the blow and hooks the arm in an arm drag before locking in an arm bar. Bobby shoves Venom away from him and launches a roundhouse kick but Venom sidesteps it and hits a swift kick to the thigh. He goes for a second and a third. Bobby is now holding his left thigh as Venom hits a combination of a punch, slap, spinning back fist, chop, toe kick, and forearm shot to Bobby who crashes to a seated position.
Joey: The Icons came to fight but the Guns are not giving an inch
King: You don’t become the most decorated tag team in the company by being slouches in the ring Joey.
Joey: The Icons are fantastic in the ring, it’s too bad they’re stuck in that AWF hell hole.
Venom picks up Bobby by the hair and pulls him to his feet. He charges him toward the ropes but Bobby spins out, hooks Venom by his hair and tosses him hard at the cage. Venom however gets his hand on the ropes and holds himself back. He turns and Bobby asks him why he has soccer mom hair before punting him in the gut. Mueller is trying to hold Jack down but Jack kips up to his feet, ducks under Mueller and hoists him into a back suplex to break the arm bar. Jack quickly gets to his feet and grabs Mueller’s legs. He spins him under the ropes and drops for a sling shot right into the ropes. Mueller rolls under the ropes against the cage holding his throat. Jack sprints off the opposing ropes and tries a baseball slide but James grabs the ropes and hoists his body off the mat letting Jack kick the cage before Mueller drops down with a splash on his ankles. Mueller then springboards over the ropes with an elbow drop to the chest. Bobby has Venom locked in a front chancery trying to choke the life out of him when Mueller charges in with a clothesline to the back of the head. Mav on the outside cheers on his Icon teammates. Mueller picks Bobby up and slaps him in the face calling him stupid. He then pie faces him back into the corner. Venom is slow to his feet but joins them in the corner as the two begin taking turns booting Bobby in the gut.
Joey: The double team tactics of the GUNS now come into play
King: Look both of these teams are well oiled machines. They know how to command the ring Joey.
They pull Bobby out of the corner and set him up for a double suplex. Bobby crashes to the mat hard holding his back. Mueller stays on him and rolls through. Venom grabs hold again for a second suplex. As they lift him up Jack Diamond leaps in and shoves Bobby back to the ground. He then hooks the other side of Mueller and the two of them unison suplex the two Guns to the mat! All four men stay down for a brief moment before Jack rolls to his feet. He grabs Venom by the back of the head and lifts him to his hands and knees before dropping a knee on the neck. He then grabs Mueller and lifts him to his feet and irish whips him. On the return he sidesteps and shoves James as he passes sending him faster at the ropes and into the cage wall. Outside the cell Goldbear II roars in disapproval and begins slamming his meaty paws at the cell on the entry ramp side. Mav is yelling in approval from near the announce tables. Mueller is on the mat holding his face. Diamond and Barratt now get together and grab Venom. They begin taking turns punching him in the face. Venom keeps his hands up to lighten the impacts. The two men then grab him and run at the ropes releasing and shoving his back sending Venom hurtling over the ropes and into the cage shoulder first where he crashes to the mat between the apron and cage. Bobby sprints in for a running dropkick but Venom dodges and Bobby hits the cage with his legs and bounces back holding his knees. Unfortunately for Venom Jack had followed and now hits Venom with a running boot to the head sending his skull into the cage wall. He slumps back over the ropes where Jack backs toward the corner and hits a running knee left sending Venom back-first back into the cage again where he slumps down. Jack turns and sees Mueller pulling himself up on the ropes near the cage door. He charges and goes for a clothesline but Mueller drops down and back body drops him over the ropes and through the unlocked cage door to the mat outside the ring. Jack arches his back in pain. Mueller charges Bobby who is now to his feet and hits a running bulldog. He hops right up and springboards into a lionsault.
Joey: Whoa what a series of events. Venom got intimate with the cage and now Jack is outside the ring.
King: Mueller is bearing own hard on Barratt.
Mueller hooks for a pin.
ONE!
Kickout!
Mueller begins stomping the knees of Bobby. He rolls him over and stomps the lower back as well. Goldbear now ramps up his pounds on the cell, small cracks begin to form. Maverick sees this and slowly makes his way around. He whistles and when Goldbear turns he launches a running super kick to the bear’s mighty chest sending him hard into the glass as more cracks form. Goldbear looks dazed but Mav realizes he isn’t hurt. He sprints around back to his side and digs for something from the timekeeper. Goldbear charges him as Mueller in the ring locks in a single leg crab so he can watch the carnage. Venom and Jack are slowly recovering. Goldbear reaches Mav and is about to paw him hard when Mav turns and sprays him in the face! … Suddenly from a cooler next to the time keeper a bunch of fish attack Goldbear’s face who happily eats them and walks back to his side of the ring sitting on his bear booty happy. Mav turns the can around and it’s BANG Fish Attractant Spray! He looks back at the cooler thoroughly confused.
King: What? They’re my emotional support fish.
Joey: What an interesting life you must lead.
King: It’s a burden Joey I tell ya.
Mueller is shouting at the ref to ask Bobby to tap out. Venom is to his feet and as Bobby suddenly gets a burst of strength he forces Mueller off his leg and hops to one leg, keeping the throbbing left leg off the mat he is greeted by a springboard forearm from Venom who holds on for a pin.
ONE!
Kickout!
Jack is now outside the ring under the ring. He throws a few chairs, trash cans, lids, and kendo sticks to the floor outside the ring and stands up holding a pair of baseball bats. He walks back to the cage door and enters the ring. Bobby is being double teamed by the Guns with mounted punches from Mueller and stomps from Venom. CRACK! Venom drops to the mat holding his ribs. Jack drops the second bat right at Bobby’s fingers then swings at Mueller who stands up and catches the bat. He shakes his head and steps forward but suddenly THUD! He winces and closes his legs as a bat has just come up between them. Bobby pulls the bat away as Mueller rolls to the mat and Jack covers.
ONE!
TWO!
Venom somehow breaks it up while holding his ribs.
He then dives toward Jack and tackles him. The two begin rolling and fighting for control of the bat. Meanwhile Bobby looks at his bat like a lost love and smirks. He hobbles to his feet still favoring his left leg. He begins poking Mueller in the gut with the bat as Mueller yells in agony holding his family jewels. Bobby swings down and Mueller just avoids it by shuffling on his butt. This continues until he is at the ropes. Bobby charges in but Mueller pulls up on the middle rope and thrusts his feet out hitting Bobby in the left knee and he drops the bat and stumbles forward in between the top and middle ropes. Mueller rolls under the ropes and sits up on the other side where he slap Bobby a few times before pulling him by the neck out of the ring and smacking his face into the cage. Bobby recoils into the cage and stands up holding his face. James springs to the top rope and hits a springboard dropkick.
Joey: Oh no Bobby and Jack are losing control here!
King: This match is so violent! These two teams are really proving why they are the best in the business.
Venom and Jack have rolled under the ropes and now fall through the open cage door. The two hit the ground and separate. They slowly move to their feet. Jack charges in with a forearm but Venom interrupts with a slap then scoops him up and drops him with the V-Nominal Variation 1 (Scoop Slam into reverse DDT). Jack holds the back of his head as Venom stands up. Mav steps to the cell and starts shouting at him. Venom walks up to the glass cell and begins jawing back at Maverick. The two go at it until Jack kips up behind Venom and charges. Venom however almost knew this was coming and turns grabbing Jack and using his momentum to swing him into the cell hard. Jack crumples in a heap holding his back as Venom cracks his neck and mouths, “You were saying?” to Maverick. Mueller is now stalking Bobby in the ring. Bobby suddenly turns and throws a fist but Mueller grabs it. He holds the fingers out and looks around. He shrugs then SNAP! Bobby waddles off on his knees holding his left middle finger which Mueller has just snapped. Mueller just cracks his neck and looks stoic. He follows Bobby and wraps him around the waist. He hoists the icon up and plants him with a German suplex. He bridges.
ONE!
TW-Kickout!
Mueller rolls to his feet and looks outside at Venom. Venom and Mueller nod. Mueller picks up Bobby and whips him hard into the steel cage. Bobby rebounds into the ring on his feet where Mueller grabs him by the back of the head and tights and repeats on the side of the ring to his left. This goes on to all four cage walls. Meanwhile Venom picks up Jack and Irish whips him into the steel steps where he crashes with his knees and tumbles to the other side. He begins to crawl to the entryway side of the ring where Venom springs off the steel steps and crashes on him with a springboard leg drop.
Joey: This is turning into a personal match King. The Guns want to teach these icons a lesson in humility.
King: If you ask me they need the lesson Joey.
Venom drags Jack to his feet and whips him into the glass cell where Goldbear roars. Maverick outside the ring gets a chair and runs around. Goldbear turns to see what the noise is and gets cracked in the head with the chair. He wobbles a bit then roars at Mav! He swings again. CRACK! Goldbear stumbles. He roars and swats at Maverick who dodges and swings. CRACK! Goldbear drops to a seated position. CRACK! The chair breaks and now is just a frame as the seat has flown into the crowd and Goldbear II is now slumped against the cage wall. In the ring Mueller has noticed this and shouts at Maverick! Security comes pouring out and surround Mav who is pleasing innocence. Mueller shouts to haul him away. From behind Bobby slowly crawls to his hands and knees. Venom is next to the glass checking on Goldbear while Jack lies lifeless next to him. Mueller calls for EMTs for his beloved bear. The EMTs come out and check on the bear. He is breathing. They get him on a gurney and attach a sling … to his cock and balls to cover it up. They then carry him away. Mueller turns around DISTORTION KICK! Mueller spins from the impact and lands on the ropes. Bobby hobbles up favoring that left leg and grabs Mueller and throws him through the middle rope and into the cage wall. He backs up and hits a running dropkick into the cage. Mueller is pinned against it. Venom is hauling Jack to his feet. Jack suddenly swings a shot to the throat of Venom. Bobby runs off the ropes and hits another running dropkick to the chest of Mueller. Mueller bounces into the cage again which is starting to bow. Bobby repeats this again! Jack is now hitting a flurry of chops and kicks to Venom. Bobby backs up and hits another Distortion Kick against the cage which bends more. Mueller slumps down and falls into the ring through the middle and bottom ropes.
Joey: Bobby may have the match won!
King: I don’t like the looks of the cage or cell here Joey.
Bobby pins.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-KICKOUT!
Mueller somehow rolls the shoulder. Jack grabs Venom and hooks in a deep head lock. He wrenches hard. There is no winning the match on the floor though. Bobby stands up and rubs his left leg to get the blood flowing again. He shakes it out then grabs Mueller. Mueller sends a shot to the gut. Then another. Bobby just lifts a knee to the chest. Mueller hunches with the wind knocked out of him. Venom pulls his head free and hits the X’d Out! Jack crashes into the glass cell denting it more. He slowly tries to stand in the center of that section of cell. Venom stumbles back toward the corner where the door is. Bobby hooks up Mueller with a look of pure malice on his face knowing he has to fight Duke at the end of the show. He hoists him and Mueller begins punching his head trying to avoid the powerbomb. Bobby holds him however and stumbles toward the cage wall he was working on earlier. He releases Mueller with a running powerbomb and Mueller crashes into the cage wall which tears at its joints and comes loose! It falls down landing on Jack Diamond and shatters the cell wall on that side. Huge chunks of bullet proof glass land on the body of Mueller, the cage wall beneath him, and Jack Diamond beneath that. Both men are completely out of it. Venom stands there in shock as Bobby shouts for Jack!
Joey: HOLY CRAP KING! The whole structure just shattered!
King: Shoddy ECF Construction!
EMTs are out fast to check on Mueller who is bleeding from his mouth with a chunk of cell on his stomach. Jack is no better off crushed between the chunk of cell beneath and the cage above. Venom takes a look into the ring. Bobby is too stunned to move. Venom sprints up the fallen cage wall and dives over the top rope with a springboard landing in the V-Nominal Variation 2. He holds the leg as it flies up for a pin!
One!
TWO!
THRE-NO!
Bobby somehow gets the shoulder up. Venom brushes the hair out of his eyes and turns. He sees the bats left by the Icons earlier in the match. Bobby has crawled to the ring apron where there is no cage anymore. He reaches through the ropes and grabs something. Venom moves in with the bat. As he leans out he gets a trash can lid to the head. He stumbles back as Bobby grabs a trash can and pulls it under the bottom rope. Bobby stands up and lifts the can over his head but Venom quickly swings the bat into his left thigh. Bobby drops the can to the mat and gets a bat to the chest for his troubles. Venom drops the bat and stumbles holding his now bleeding nose. Venom turns to Bobby and Bobby leaps up but Venom holds his legs preventing the Iconbreaker. Venom drops him hard onto the trash can with both knees. Bobby howls in pain and gets a pele kick for his troubles slumping his over the trash can. Venom spits on the mat and turns. He climbs through the ropes and measures up. V-NOM PRESS. Bobby grabs a bat as he rolls off the trash can. Venom lands gut first on the can and crumples it. He shouts out and springs to his feet in agony just in time for the bat to be hooked behind his head pulling him down hard into the Iconbreaker!! Venom bounces back holding his neck and Bobby dives on top.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!!!
DING DING DING!
Bonnie Jenkins: Ladies and gentlemen your winners and NEW XHF GLOBAL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS … THE ICONS!
Joey: Oh my God they did it King! Jack and Bobby are tag champs!
King: I don’t believe this! What a match!
The Xtremetron fades out as Jack Diamond is in the ring accepting the tag team titles from Bongo the Destroyer for both men since Bobby was lost in that horrible helicopter crash. He exits the ring to a chorus of boos with both tag belts.
Joey: What an amazing match they had last week King.
King: Jack must be reveling in this. Too bad Bobby isn’t here to enjoy it.
*We fade to the following scene on the Xtremetron. Charlie Velez is sitting at his desk reading paper work. He signs the bottom of the page, flips the page, and face palms himself. He gets up to his desk and walks out of his office through the doors and stands next to his secretary’s desk.*
Velez: Damn it Karen. You called me in on a Sunday morning to sign papers? Was this really so important that it couldn’t wait until Monday? I’ve got things to do today Karen.
Karen: Well sir. You see, I had to do it today because I was told I had to get you here and keep you occupied until things were ready.
Velez: Ready for what Karen?
Karen: The party.
Velez: What party?
As soon as the words leave Charlie’s mouth orange and black balloons fall from the ceiling and Monster Mash begins to play and the office fills with the workers of Velez Corp. They are all dressed up in costume. Charlie is annoyed at this delay in his plans and mumbles to himself.
Velez: Who ordered a Halloween party and who is playing Monster Mash? Monster Mash isn’t a Halloween song, it’s just a song about monsters having a party. It is just a party song.
Charlie begins to make towards the door, but he is intercepted by Mr. X. Mr. X is wearing his same suit, but a long wig.
Mr. X: Where are you going so fast?
Velez: If you must know, I’ve got a plane to catch.
Mr. X: Are you really going to run out on the company party? I guess I’ll just have to show the members of the board a good time.
Velez: They’re coming?
Mr. X: They’re already here. It shouldn’t be too hard. They already like me more than they like you. After all, they hired me to stop you from doing stupid things. It’s not like if you show them a good, clean, fun time you’ll get them off your back or anything.
Velez loosens up and looks Mr. X right in the eyes.
Velez: Why are you trying to stop me?
Mr. X: I’m not trying to stop you. You can leave. I’ll take care of everything.
Velez: I’m not letting you throw me under the bus again. Who are you supposed to be anyway?
Mr. X: Isn’t it obvious? I’m the president, Curtis Kanyon.
Velez: That’s a stupid costume.
Mr. X: Better than yours.
Velez snarls at Mr. X and walks away into the party. Mr. X laughs and pulls out his cell phone. We zoom in on the screen as he writes the words “It’s done, Velez won’t make it” and hits send. The text is sent to, Mongo the Destroyer.
Joey: Does this mean what I think it means? No Velez in the main event??
King: Mongo pulled one over on the Guns for once. Why would he do that?
Joey: He doesn't NEED a reason! He writes the checks!
Joey: Ladies and gentlemen the next match shall be one for the ages!
King: AH! I've waited all night for this!
Joey: An international incident has occurred - 'Korea' has threatened the United States of America! With only one option left... The president has decided to deploy... The Nukebuster...
King: LET'S DO THITH!
Rukia Matsuoka comes out as the music blares through the speakers. She shows love to her fans, but no-one cares, nobody takes the mick out of Feargal Nukebuster and gets away with it. She arrogantly walks down the ramp way and makes her way into the ring before going into her corner; the crowd booing ever so loudly.
King: I think it's safe to say... Ireland don't like Korea either!
Joey: She's uh, Japanese, King.
King: But you said Korea threatened the USA?
Joey: I was paraphrasing CDK.
The opening riffs begin as we pan around the arena and soon focus on the stage. Kira comes spinning out from the back. He looks around before he starts walking down the ramp.
誰々さん もうくたばれ
僕は散々くたばった
次は君の番だって思い込みたいの
誘惑のエマージェンシー
He walks around the ring slapping hands of his fans and aging on the fans who hate him. He goes around the entire ring before walking up the steps. He pause a minute and looks around before entering the ring.
"SEE MORE SEE MORE GUITARS Virusがザワザワ
DIE HARD DIE meets HARD Bluesもザワザワ"
He climbs up to the top rope and makes an "X" pose with his arms. He looks around at the crowd before he gets down and repeats the process at the other three turnbuckles. He gets down and heads off to the center of the ring where he beats his chest and puts up an "X" again - he and Matsuoka high five.
Joey: Here we go, King!
King: The men of the hour!
The lights go dark.
A spotlight shines on the entrance ramp as the music continues to play, from the floor of the staging and through the lighting of the circle, a massive pillar like object rises from the ground. It stops at about shoulder height, on top of it, a massive shiny red button.
A man walks out through the shadows, but not just any man, the man. The President of the United States, Curtis D. Kanyon.
He stands behind the button for a long time as the fans become unglued - will he drop the nuclear bomb?
Of course he will.
He stares forward at Kira and Ruki in the ring, the camera zooming in on his malicious face. He slowly lifts his hand into the air as the anticipation gets louder and louder!
He smiles, all teeth bared...
...And smacks the button.
BAAAAANNNNNGGGGG!
The whole arena turns bright with flames as they explode from the ramp - the crowd scream with excitement!
Amerika by Rammstein blasts into the PA as the fire is embellished by red white and blue! Curtis D. Kanyon kicks the pillar down and marches forward as the cameras zoom past him and focus on the entrance way - waiting for the nuclear bomb that is...
FEARGAL NUKEBUSTER!
He rushes out to a thunderous ovation and charges down the ramp, meeting CDK halfway, nodding his head at him; then charging the ring together!
They slide in as Kira and Ruki dive out of the ring! CDK and Feargal taunt the crowd to massive cheers before turning to the hard cam and doing the infamous mega powers handshake!
Joey: THIS IS AMAZING!
King: I think you'll find Hawke, THITH ITH AMATHING!
XHF Network Showcase Match
Tag Team Match
Thuper Ultra Mega Powerth vs. Kira Izumi and Rukia Matsuoka
Tag Team Match
Thuper Ultra Mega Powerth vs. Kira Izumi and Rukia Matsuoka
CDK and Feargal head to their respective corner - deciding that CDK should enter the matchup first. Kira and Ruki are beckoned back into the ring and head to their respective corner - Ruki entering the match first. The bell rings as the fans go wild and Curtis D. Kanyon charges at the 'Supa Seiyu'! She moves out of the way as the POTUS crashes right into the turnbuckle! Kira grabs his hair and holds him back as Ruki nails him with some strong style kicks and punches! Feargal screams at the ref to stop their cheating - which he does so, giving Kira a five-count to finish the job.
King: Stupid foreigners!
Joey: In this country King, we're all foreigners!
Kira lets go of CDK's hair as Ruki Irish Whips him against the ropes, on the rebound nailing him with a stiff jumping knee strike. She darts over to Kira and tags him in, as he helps her in stomping on the downed president.
King: HEY! That's our president! Where's the secret service?!
Joey: Who needs secret service when you've got a nuclear bomb in your corner!
Kira and Ruki pick CDK back up and drop him with a double DDT. Ruki heads out of the ring as Kira drops to his knees and applies a headlock, making the crowd boo at the boringness of it.
Joey: Kira and Ruki aren't here to show off any flashes moves tonight, they're only here to make a mockery of the USA!
King: USA! USA! USA!
CDK tries his best to fight out of it, but the bigger Kira Izumi is fully choking him out. Feargal is shouting at CDK to "GET BACK IN THITH!". "I DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLETH THEEDK, YOU ARE ONE OF THEM!" and "UTHA! UTHA! UTHA!. This evidently prompts the crowd to join in - annoying Ruki and Kira even more, with the latter beginning to strike CDK's head whilst in the hold.
King: COME ON CDK! USA! USA! USA!
Joey: USA! USA! USA!
CDK starts to wake as the crowd go crazy! He shakes his head and begins to roar in anger! Feargal is screaming with excitement! He stomps his foot on the ring skirt - the crowd joining in.
Curtis slams the mat with his hand and heaves up onto a knee!
Feargal continues to stomp!
Curtis slams his hand back onto the mat and rises to his feet!
Kira shakes his head, his eyes widen open, the lock still applied!
Out of nowhere CDK flips him over the top of his head and dives straight for his corner, hitting Feargal with an almighty HOT TAG!
Joey: THE NUKE HAS DROPPED!
King: TIME FOR FALLOUT!
Feargal rushes into the ring and explodes into a ball of anger - he rips his suit off and charges at the staggering Kira - hitting him with one hell of a clothesline, spinning him 720 odd. Rukia climbs to the top turnbuckle and dives for a crossbody on the Keyboard Warrior, but he catches her and marches her around the ring.
Joey: Bad mistake Rukia!
King: Don't you mean... 'rookie-a!'
Feargal hauls her onto his shoulders as the fans pop ever so loudly. He stares into the hard cam and snarls before dropping her with the...
ALT-F5!
Feargal immediately gets back to his feet and marches over to a struggling Kira - grabbing him by the hair and also lifting him back onto his feet. He stares into the hard cam again, looks at CDK and makes a plan. With Kira still on his shoulders he thunders his way to the POTUS and tags him back in. CDK steps into the ring as Feargal centers himself and drops Kira with the...
ALT-F5!
When Kira's body bounces back up from the colossal impact CDK charges and hits the infamous...
BAAAANNNNGGGG!
CDK covers the body as Feargal places his arms on-top of his back and the referee counts...
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING! The Thuper Ultra Mega Powerth have won the matchup! Feargal helps CDK back to his feet as they raise each other's arms - Amerika by Rammstein kicking back in.
Bonnie Jenkins: Ladies and gentlemen your winners, the Thuper Ultra Mega Powerth!
Joey: And like that, King - it's all over!
King: That... That was beautiful...
Suddenly, the lights go out and everyone is left in darkness.
King: What's this?!
Joey: I- I'm not sure King!
When they come back on in the middle of both men is a masked man - an all too familiar masked man albeit.
Curtis and Feargal look at him inquiringly, they don't know who this is!
King: Wh- who is that, Hawke?
Joey: I think it's Ho-
The masked man pulls out a gun as the audience scream in shock! He points it at CDK as Feargal screams aswell! Secret service are no-where to be seen, CDK sent them away for this match!
King: HE'S GONNA SHOOT HIM!
Joey: MURDER?! I KNOW WE SAID END OF DAYS BUT WE DIDN'T MEAN THIS!
As like slow-motion, the masked man pulls the trigger - an almighty bang coming from the gun...
...Feargal dives in-front of the president, saving him...
...but no bullet hits...
Everything goes back to normal as CDK's face of fright turns into a massive smile, Feargal face plants the mat and the cameras zoom back to the gun - which now has an American flag coming out of it!
The crowd explode with excitement as 'I am a Real American' bursts into the PA and masked man takes off his mask!
King: NO IT CAN'T BE!
Joey: It is!
King: WHO WOULD'VE KNOWN?!
Joey: Literally the whole worl-
It's Uncle Hogan! He rushes over to CDK, drops the gun, and gives him a massive hug! Then, he helps Feargal back to his feet and hugs him aswell.
All three men celebrate together as the Irish fans go wild, it's only now I realize how ridiculous this all is.
The final shot is of Curtis D. Kanyon, Feargal Nukebuster and Uncle Hogan arm in arm! THE THUPER MEGA ULTRA I'VE FORGOTTEN THE TEAM NAME!
looks it up.
THE THUPER ULTRA MEGA POWERTH!
Pat Collins: Good evening ladies and gentlemen my name is Pat Collins and sitting beside me tonight is Dave Sharp, we are your commentary team for this PWA showcase match - the first match in PWA history!
Dave Sharp: I can't wait to finally get underway and kick off the Era of Alpha! And I especially can't wait to see Anguish in action! He decimated Eric Chronister in our press conference last week, I think that's what the kids today would call a "sick burn, bro!"
Pat Collins: Oh God, please don't ever do that again. You're old enough to know better.
"Shatterhail" begins to play over the arena speakers and the crowd inside Croke Park are unsure how to react to XHF newcomer Kenneth Casper as he makes his way through the curtain, swinging an iron bar.
They soon get the message and begin to boo him as he swings his club towards fans in the front row, and he laughs like a psychopath.
Tony Anderson: The following contest is the PWA six-man tag-team showcase match! Introducing first from Baltimore, Maryland, weighing 215 pounds- "Cold Hearted" Kenneth Casper!
Casper slides into the ring and the lights dim, a deep bell tolling is heard. The fans briefly lose their minds before they realise it's not who they thought, and Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" plays Johnny "Anguish" Redd into the arena. Many fans boo him because they already know who he is, others deduce that if he's partnering Kenneth Casper then he must be worth booing.
Tony Anderson: His tag-team partner, from Manchester, England, and weighing 247 pounds - Anguish!
Anguish walks to the ring, flanked by fire and surrounded by jeering fans, as the lights go up and "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" by Toby Keith starts up. "Mr America" Keith Eastmond emerges onto the stage waving a huge American flag - further antagonising the Irish fans.
Tony Anderson: And from the U-S-of-A, weighing 250 pounds - "Mr America" Keith Eastmond!
Eastmond orders the fans in attendance to salute the flag before climbing into the ring where he calls for a microphone.
Tony Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. America has requested that you all rise and place your right hand over your heart as he sings for you the United States' national anthem!
Mr America: Oh, say can you seeeeee... by the dawn's early liiiiight...
He begins to sing, and though a few fans join him the majority begin to boo loudly and throw trash into the ring.
Mr America: What so proudly we haaaaaaiiiiiled at the twilight's last-
The blistering guitar intro of Dr. Viossy's "Monlight Sonata" hits and the fans cheer the interruption as Steven Wright walks out onto the stage with his own microphone in hand.
Dave Sharp: What the- now that's disrespectful! I used to like Steven Wright you know, but he could at least wait until the song is over!
Pat Collins: Well that's awful decent of you to defend my American compatriot, Dave, but Mr. America should probably know better than to dial up the patriotism when he's a guest in another country!
Steven Wright: Do you mind, mate? You're not in America any more. I've been to America and let me tell you, it sucked! Every promotion I wound up in shut down as soon as the boss filled his pockets! I thought America was supposed to be the 'land of opportunity'? The only opportunities I got over there were to sit on the sidelines and look for another job! And don't get me started on the healthcare!
The fans cheer Wright's attack on the USA.
Steven Wright: Don't cheer me! I don't need your sympathy! I'm only on this team because Eddie MADE me join!
They cheer even louder, just to be obstinate.
Steven Wright: Screw you all!
He drops the mic and walks down the ramp as "Super man" by Lazlo Bane begins, and The Mechanic makes his way straight out and onto the ramp.
Tony Anderson: Introducing their opponents - first, from Gloucester, England and weighing 195 pounds - Steven Wright! And from Detroit, Michigan and weighing 185 pounds - The Mechanic!
Mechanic heads straight down the ramp to Wright and stops him from getting into the ring by himself against the team of heels, who all stalk about with a keen eye on their two opponents. Wright rails against The Mechanic who has his work cut out trying to keep him in check.
Security guards start to slowly file out of the entranceway and the crowd begin to cheer louder as Matt Williams' "Heaven and Hell" signals the arrival of Eric Chronister and he walks slowly past the guards, each man in uniform readying their batons as he goes by.
Tony Anderson: And their partner; from "The Walls" Penitentiary, Jefferson City, Missouri and weighing 237 pounds - Eric Chronister!
Chronister jumps up onto the apron and The Mechanic eagerly follows him up the steps, Wright slowly makes his way to the side of his team reluctantly. They all head through the ropes and the two teams come nose-to-nose as PWA head referee Harry Bates gets himself in between them and forces them to their corners.
Wright and Chronister argue over who is going to start the match, but as the bigger man Chronister makes the most convincing case and he points a finger at Anguish who looks set to start for his team.
Pat Collins: Alright, here we go! Chronister to start against Anguish, looking to settle the score from the press conference!
Pro Wrestling Alpha Network Introduction Match
Six-Man Tag Team Match
The Mechanic, Eric "Chronic" Chronister, and Steven Wright vs. Kenneth Casper, Anguish, and Mr. America
Six-Man Tag Team Match
The Mechanic, Eric "Chronic" Chronister, and Steven Wright vs. Kenneth Casper, Anguish, and Mr. America
The bell rings to start the match and Anguish smirks at Chronister, tagging out immediately to bring Kenneth Casper into the match. Chronister glares at Anguish, pointing a finger and calling him a coward.
Pat Collins: I agree! Anguish and Chronister looked set to clash but Anguish chickened out!
Dave Sharp: Nonsense! I don’t blame Anguish for changing his mind! He’s not scared of Chronister, he just doesn’t think he’s worth the effort!
Casper comes into the ring and rushes Chronic, immediately getting flattened by a clothesline - he pops back up and rushes again but Chronister takes him down once more, this time with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! He covers him-
One!
Easy kick out for Casper. Chronister grabs Casper up by the hair and whips him into Anguish and Mr. America’s corner, daring Anguish to tag in and face him. Anguish smirks and wags a finger before jumping down off of the apron, much to everyone’s disappointment. Mr. America takes up the challenge, giving Casper a chance to breathe as he steps into the ring. Steven Wright leans over the ropes and orders Chronister to tag him in so he can face the masked American, but Chronister shakes his head, telling Wright to stay put until after he gets his hands on Anguish.
Dave Sharp: Yet more dissent in the ranks! Chronister and Wright want to take all the glory for themselves in this match!
Chronister circles the powerfully-built Mr. America before engaging him in a collar-and-elbow tie up. Chronic looks to be winning the tussle but Mr. America reveals himself to be bluffing as he swiftly moves into a standing side headlock and then transitions to a rear waistlock before hoisting Chronister up and over with a bridging German suplex!
One!
Tw- Kick out!
Dave Sharp: Almost had him, out of nothing! Chronister needs to wake up!
Chronister shakes the cobwebs brought on by landing on the back of his head but finds himself grabbed from behind once again - he lashes out with an elbow and catches the masked man, breaking his hold, and drops him as he staggers back with a big old discus clothesline!
As PWA head ref Harry Bates administers the count to both men, they crawl towards the ropes for help getting to their feet. They both easily beat the count, and turn to face each other again. Mr. America offers up his hands for a “test of strength” and Chronic looks to the crowd, who cheer him on. He puts up one hand, then the other, and both big men try to turn the tide in their favor - until Mr. America kicks Chronister, who has his back to the ref, suspiciously low in the “stomach.”
Pat Collins: That was a low blow! Mr. America just kicked Eric Chronister below the belt!
Dave Sharp: Rubbish! That was a picture-perfect kick to the stomach!
Chronic staggers backwards and towards his corner, and Steven Wright leans in to tag himself into the match. Chronister falls into the ropes, and doesn’t look best pleased with Wright for inserting himself into the match. Wright immediately goes up to the top rope and flings himself at Mr. America - who catches his flying cross-body attempt and hurls him back with a fall-away slam!
Dave Sharp: Is Wright mad!? He’s not a high-flyer!
Mr. America scrambles over to where Wright lies and makes a cover -
One!
Tw- Kick out!
Wright somehow pushes the much bigger man off of him and gets to his feet. Mr. America grabs him and forces him into a corner but Wright’s speed and agility counter the big man’s strength and somehow Wright manages to get himself into a position over the ropes with a tarantula locked in! He doesn’t have the advantage for long though as Kenneth Casper dashes along the apron and unleashes a huge double-footed dropkick to Wright’s head and the Brit goes tumbling down to the arena floor!
Pat Collins: Ouch! That looks bad! Wright could be concussed from that kick! That was a shotgun blast!
Almost instantly Anguish steps down from the apron and slowly heads towards Wright - Chronister drops off of his own portion of the apron and makes a move around the outside of the ring to meet him. Harry Bates goes to the outside himself to intercept both men, and as soon as Anguish spots Chronister advancing he begins to back off, playing it up to the referee to make it look like his authority is winning out.
Mr. America goes outside and picks Wright up, slamming him against the barricade and then picking him up, dropping him chest-first across the same. He waves off Harry Bates’ instruction to get back into the ring, wanting to deal more damage to Wright, pulling him to his feet and whipping him hard into the ring steps.
Pat Collins: Well this is NOT a hardcore match or anything like it, Mr. America should be very careful that he doesn’t do something that’ll get himself disqualified!
With the ref’s count growing dangerously high by the second, Mr. America throws Wright back underneath the ropes and slides into the ring after him. Wright rolls over and tries to crawl towards his corner, but Mr. America steps on his ankle to stop him, then decides to let Kenneth Casper back into the match. Casper rushes round to Wright’s head end and gives him a stiff stomp to the back and Mr. America leaves him with a parting gift of a crushing stomp to his ankle.
Chronister and The Mechanic both try to rally Wright from the apron but he can’t find a way past Kenneth Casper, who is furiously raining down blows as he tries to prevent Wright from getting back up. Casper locks in a front face lock and drags Wright up, looking to drop him with a DDT but Wright battles out of it with a modified back body drop which gives him a brief hope of finding his teammates, but his injured ankle collapses under his weight and he drops to the mat again.
Dave Sharp: Steven Wright picked a BAD time to tag himself into this match, I bet he’s really regretting that! He’s going to cost his team the victory!
Wright begins to crawl but Casper quickly finds his feet and cuts him off again, going right back in with a hard-hitting brawling style that Wright just can’t find the space to counter with his technical game. He manages to find some footing as he throws out some strikes however as Casper backs him into a corner and the two men trade punches. Casper takes the blows from Wright and gives back just as much in return, finally overpowering the marginally smaller man and he climbs up the turnbuckle to give Wright the good ol’ 10-punches…
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six-
Wright suddenly grabs Casper’s legs and pushes out of the corner, slamming him into the mat with a big sitout powerbomb! Wright instinctively leans into Casper’s legs and tries for the pinfall…
One!
Two!
Thr- Kick out!
Pat Collins: So close! Wright turned the tables on Casper there and it nearly paid dividends - but can he capitalize now?
The fans roar as Chronister and The Mechanic lean over the top rope and Wright begins once again to crawl towards them, Kenneth Casper groggily surveying his surroundings and electing as well to crawl to his corner. He makes the tag to Anguish who immediately steps into the ring and rushes to grab Wright - who lunges just in time to reach the outstretched hand of The Mechanic!
Anguish goes for a clothesline but the lanky Mechanic ducks underneath it and then jumps high for a big enzuigiri that rocks Johnny Redd, he staggers and The Mechanic continues his attack as he grabs a leg and drops him with a dragon screw, rolling straight into an ankle lock attempt, Anguish scrambles onto his back and kicks the mechanic back away from him but only manages to delay him briefly - Mechanic comes back at him with a sunset flip as Anguish gets up, rolling up the big man!
One!
Kick out!
Dave Sharp: Nowhere near enough to keep this man down! Nowhere near!
Anguish looks pissed as he gets to his feet once more and he rushes at The Mechanic who drops him with a drop toe hold onto the second rope and then takes a run up off the ropes, unleashing a feint kick that he calls the 313! Chronister staggers back into the ring and looks to be dazed!
Pat Collins: The Mechanic hits him with the 313! This could seal it!
Mechanic heads back into the ring and looks to make doubly sure of Anguish’s demise as he hammerlocks him to set up “No More Mr Nice Guy” - but Anguish breaks free of the hold, still looking to be dazed and confused, and The Mechanic goes in for another try - but gets caught by the goozle and driven into the mat by a vicious chokeslam!
Dave Sharp: No, Pat, THIS could seal it!
Anguish rolls the Mechanic over and hooks a leg…
One!
Two!
Thr- He kicks out!
Pat Collins: I don’t know how he did it, but The Mechanic managed to hang on!
Anguish beats the mat in frustration, grimacing as he gets to his feet and wobbling somewhat, he grabs hold of The Mechanic and puts him over his shoulder looking for a running powerslam - Mechanic kicks his legs and drops down behind Anguish however and then a huge roar of approval goes up from the crowd!
Anguish turns to see Eric Chronister stepping over the top rope, now the legal man thanks to a quick tag by The Mechanic, and he goes into scramble mode as he backpedals and throws a hand out to Kenneth Casper, then drops and rolls out of the ring!
Pat Collins: We’re back to the two men who started this match and Dave, you still gonna say that Anguish isn’t a coward? He just booked it out of there the second he was Chronister coming into the match!
Just like before, Chronister flattens Casper , swatting him away like a fly and then backing up to drop a big leg on him - Casper rolls out of the way and Chronister jars his tailbone on the landing which allows Casper to pick him off. He gives him a somersault neck snap and then follows it up with another one of his double-footed low dropkicks and tries a cover;
One!
Tw- kick out!
Chronister is still too powerful for Casper to put down so the “Cold Hearted” one cranks up the viciousness factor as he gouges Chronister right in the eye in plain sight of the ref, who gives him a warning and a five-count. Casper plays innocent, holding up his hands as he breaks the hold, then he smashes Chronister’s head into the canvas. Chronister looks to be in great pain as he slowly gets to his feet, and Casper springs into action as he springboards off the ropes looking for his springboard inverted DDT finisher - but Chronister catches him in a show of tremendous strength and plants him with a big powerslam!
Pat Collins: Holy- look at the strength of this guy! Absolutely incredible!
Both men are gassed as they struggle to get up - Casper somehow gets up first and he rushes Chronister, and the big man from behind bars lifts a boot looking for Lights Out - but Casper ducks the move, turning on a dime behind Chronister and pulling him back into a roll-up pin attempt!
One!
Two!
Kick out!
Pat Collins: Chronister couild have had the match won if he’d hit Lights Out but- well, I don’t know how Kenneth Casper is still ticking!
Dave Sharp: Because he’s a maniac! He won’t give up, no matter how much Chronister throws at him!
The crowd get behind Eric Chronister as he gets back to his feet but before he can go after Casper he is grabbed from the apron by Anguish - he turns, swings, Anguish jumps down to the floor - and Kenneth Casper barrels into him from behind with a forearm smash! Pushing Chronister up against the ropes, Casper goes to town on his back and the referee gives him a warning to let Chronic out from the ropes.
At this point, Wright and The Mechanic try coming back through the ropes to assist their partner - Harry Bates gets Casper off of Chronister and then has to dash to the other side of the ring to try and keep Chronister’s partners in their positions. With the referee’s back turned, Mr. America grabs Chronister and holds him for Casper to redden his chest with some stinging chops, to a torrent of boos from the fans.
Dave Sharp: I just don’t get these fans! Casper, Anguish and Mr. America are working as a cohesive unit yet they get booed, while they cheer the other team for squabbling about who’s going to start the match and running blatant interference!
Pat Collins: Blatant inter- do you even see what’s going on right now!?
Kenneth Casper pulls off his elbow pad and orders Mr. America to hold Chronister steady before taking a few steps back…
Pat Collins: He’s gearing up for that Heart-Cracker Elbow of his!
Dave Sharp: This’ll End Chronister’s Days for sure!
Casper springs forwards and aims his elbow at Chronister’s chest, but Chronister manages to break free from Mr. America just at the last second and Casper flies into his own partner! The crowd erupt into an enormous cheer!
Dave Sharp: No! Wait! That wasn’t supposed to happen!
Casper puts his hands on his head in shock and looks down at Mr. America, who took a big spill onto the floor, and turns round - he gets smashed by a huge Lights Out by Chronister!
Pat Collins: That’s it! There’s no way he can take any more NOW!
Chronister turns back towards Casper when-
CLANG!
He gets cracked in the back of the head by a steel chair courtesy of Anguish! The referee immediately calls for the bell and the crowd break out in boos as Anguish immediately follows up on Chronister with yet another chair shot.
Tony Anderson: The winners of the match as a result of a disqualification - Eric Chronister, The MEchanic and Steven Wright!
The Mechanic springs into action, going through the ropes to Chronister’s aid but Anguish dispatches him easily with his chair and then turns towards Wright… who looks hesitant to enter, to say the least.
Dave Sharp: NOW who’s a coward, Pat?
Pat Collins: Can you blame him? I wouldn’t wanna go in there either!
Anguish laughs as he beckons Wright into the ring and the crowd cheer him on. Wright starts to go through the ropes, hesitates, and then heads in anyway throwing caution to the wind. He runs at Anguish who swings his chair, Wright ducks and goes to the ropes - and gets his legs pulled out from underneath him by a recovering Mr. America!
Mr. America drags Wright out of the ring and waffles him with a chair of his own as Anguish kicks The Mechanic out under the bottom rope. Grabbing the barely-conscious Chronister he drags him to the outside of the ring and props him up against the ring post at which point he begins searching underneath the ring.
Pat Collins: What’s he looking for NOW?
Dave Sharp: I don’t know, but it’s gonna be GREAT!
Anguish grins a wicked grin as he emerges from under the ring and holds up… a pair of handcuffs.
Pat Collins: That sick son of a…
Dave Sharp: Haha! I love it! Put that jailbird back where he belongs!
Kenneth Casper wakes up from his boot-induced rest and Anguish calls him over, he and Mr. America each grab one of Chronister’s arms as Anguish forces him to “hug” the ring post from the outside, and they handcuff him to the steel.
With Chronister secured to the post, the three men take turns slamming chairs into his back, as he is powerless to escape. The fans shower the three men with boos, and they - particularly Anguish and Casper - take sadistic pleasure in torturing their victim.
The Mechanicamd Steven Wright launch a failed bid to rescue Chronister but Kenneth Casper and Mr. America put them down with yet another chair shot.
Mercifully for Chronister, PWA refs and security personnel run out from the back and after a tense stand-off, Anguish, Casper and Mr. America throw down their weapons and are led from the arena, their arms raised as if in victory.
Pat Collins: Well they didn’t win the match, but you wouldn’t know it looking at this scene right now!
Dave Sharp: I thought this was the Xtreme Hardcore Federation? Why are they stopping this?
Pat Collins: This may well be the XHF Network but this was most definitely not a hardcore match! Eric Chronister had this match all but won when Anguish - who spent the entire match trying to AVOID Chronister, I might add - hit him from behind with a chair! Then to add insult to injury, he put handcuffs on Chronister, a man who has spent time inside, in order to immobilize him so he could brutalize him further!
As referees attend to the three beaten-down men, Chronister starts to come round from his haze. Seeing the handcuffs, he flips out and starts trying to break the chain.
Dave Sharp: Look at this! Chronister thinks he’s going back inside! Ha!
Wright and The Mechanic struggle up and they go to check on their partner - just as a referee arrives wielding bolt cutters, the chain breaks and Chronister lunges towards the closest person - Steven Wright. He knocks him down with a forearm smash before immediately realizing what he’s done, Wright gets up holding his jaw and squares up to Chronister, shoving him a couple of times.
Dave Sharp: I told you this team was built on a flimsy foundation! They’ve been bickering the whole match!
Chronister holds back, partly as a show of apology for lashing out accidentally, and The Mechanic is forced to insert himself between the two men to prevent the bad blood from spilling over into a fight. The three men begin the long and painful walk back up the aisle - victorious, but fractured and bruised - as The Mechanic and the backroom staff try to keep the peace between Chronister and Wright. The shot changes to show the commentators sitting at their desk.
Pat Collins: Folks, thanks for joining us for PWA’s first match, I’m sorry that we didn’t get to see a truly conclusive victory tonight-
Dave Sharp: Well your guys won, didn’t they? God, cheer up a bit!
Pat Collins: They weren’t “my guys” Dave…
Dave Sharp: Oh, I get it. When they’re winning you’re behind them but as soon as they get beaten up you drop them like a bad habit. Gotcha.
Pat Collins: Why did Eddie even give you a job? I dunno… anyway, all I can say is that this is just the beginning for Pro Wrestling Alpha, the battle lines are being drawn, partnerships and rivalries are starting to emerge! Don’t forget to join us on November 7th live from the Old Odeon in Gloucester, England for the first episode of PWA Adrenaline where we’ll see the fallout from tonight’s match! But for now, enjoy the rest of the show!
Joey: It's time for the Tag Team Annihilator finals! Just to remind everyone here is the bracket so far!

The Viper Tron plays as Jeffrey Viper bursts out into the open. He swings his arms into the air and runs his fingers through his chest hair, much to the chagrin and disgust of the fans. He looks back and waves Dylan into the spotlight. Even despite the noise from the arena, Dylan's reluctance makes his sigh nearly audible as he drags his feet into the arena. While Dylan takes his time getting to the ring, trying to stay away from the man who claims to be his father, Jeffrey Viper darts down to the ring. He stops mid-way down the ramp to catch his breath before sliding to the ring. While he describes his ring entrance as sliding, what he does is poke the top half of his body underneath the bottom rope and then kick his feet until he can roll underneath the bottom rope. When Jeffrey actually makes his way inside, Dylan walks his way up the steps. Viper turns around to Dylan and gives him a high five for some camaraderie, but Dylan shakes his head.
King: " These two have managed to make it this far even with there personal problems and hatred for each other Joey. "
Joey: " I think these two actually love each other King and it's just a ploy to throw off their opponents. "
Bonnie Jenkins: " ... And introducing their opponents at a combined weight of 397 pounds Esmur and Gebin "The Nihilists"
The arena dims down to pitch blackness. Two male voices are heard softly saying, “Embrace … the emptiness.” Lie by Black Light Burns begins to play and a single blue spotlight illuminates the stage. On the stage standing back to back facing either side of the arena are Esmur and Gebin, the Nihilists. The camera zooms right up from the ramp to their masked faces as they slowly turn to look at it. They then walk past it and out of frame as it zooms out. The two men mean business as they quickly walk to the ring and slide under the bottom rope. The push to their feet and step to the center of the ring as the spotlight turns slowly from blue to pink to white. The two men remain back to back facing the two sides of the crowd left and right of the entryway.
Joey: " Here we go King, the two best teams in the XHF right now. "
King:: " Well, the best in the tournament Joey. "
Tag Team Annihilator Finals
Sack O'Potatoes Match
The Nihilists vs. Team Viper
Sack O'Potatoes Match
The Nihilists vs. Team Viper
The referee signals for the bell as the Dump truck of Irish spuds sits not even twenty feet from the ring area you can see a trail of potatoes everywhere. Jeffrey Viper slides out of the ring reaching for as many potatoes as he can hold as he begins to chuck them at the Nihilist. Esmur dodges the potatoes as he runs up the turnbuckle and delivers a diving corkscrew elbow to the jaw of Jeffrey Viper. As Dylan Viper and Gebin stand in the ring trading rights and lefts with one another.
King:: " It didn't take long for the potatoes to come into play Joey. "
Joey: " What did you expect when we have over three tons of Irish best laying around ringside, Hell King we have a dump truck overflowing with them at ringside. "
King: " Yeah and Jeffrey Viper jumped right on them. "
Esmur grabs Jeffrey Viper by the neck as he sends a crushing knee to the face of Jeffrey Viper. Esmur turns around leaving Jeffrey laying on a pile of russets as he slides back into the ring. Dylan Viper and Gebin still trading blows as they try to get the advantage. Gebin grabs Dylan locking up with him as Esmur clips him from behind. The Nihilist are now double teaming the younger viper, as Dylan Viper lays on the mat the Nihilist place him in an armbar in unison.
King: " The Nihilist are showing why they have the tag team experience as they double team Dylan, Joey. "
Joey: " We all know they have the tag experience King, that's a given but are they better? "
King: " Well we will find out here tonight. "
Jeffrey Viper has managed to get up as he rolls under the bottom rope, He rushes over doing a belly flop onto Gebin instantly forcing Gebin to break the armbar. As Jeffrey Viper attempts to go after Gebin Dylan Viper reaches over raking the eyes of Esmur breaking the armbar. Esmur rolls away as he wipes at his eyes he gets to his feet as he leans against the ropes. Dylan Viper gets up charging Esmur as he hits a single leg dropkick knocking Esmur through the ropes outside the ring onto a pile of potatoes.
Joey: " Told you, King, Team Viper is the greatest. "
King: " What are you talking about Joey, look at them right now. "
As Esmur lays on the outside Dylan and Jeffrey Viper stand over Gebin arguing over whos going to do what. They begin to push each other as Gebin kips up and grabs both men by the back of the head and rams their noggins together. Team Viper stumbles around as they are a bit dizzy after that Esmur springboards in over the top ropes delivering a clothesline to Jeffrey Viper as Gebin nails Dylan viper with running hurricanrana.
King: " This match goes back and forth Joey, so much action. "
Joey: " Yeah, but I will admit King, I'm Team Viper all the way BAE BAE!!! "
Esmur Grabs Dylan Viper lifting him up on his shoulder as he tosses him outside the ring, He quickly follows him out delivering a rolling thunder on to Dylan Viper and a pile of potatoes. Jeffrey Viper tries to climb out of the ring as he is dangling over the edge Gebin grabs him by the legs as he tries to pull Jeffrey Viper back into the ring Gebin gets nailed with a face full of hot mashed potatoes from Jeffrey Viper.
King: " Where the Hell did Jeffrey Viper get them from? "
Joey: " I think I can tell you that King, look! Hailey Black is standing next to the ring holding a pot of mashed potatoes King. "
King: " Where did she come from? When did she get here? "
Dylan Viper and Esmur are now on the trading rights and lefts as the crowd chants "VIPER, VIPER, VIPER" Gebin rolls around in the ring as Jeffrey Viper starts tearing off his t-shirt like he's Hulk Hogan or something. As Gebin begins to calm down Jeffrey Viper lays into Gebin with a bunch of weird looking leg drops. Dylan Viper begins to get the upper hand on Esmur as he grabs a potato smasher off of the ring steps and begins to smash Esmur in the face with it.
King: " Dylan is starting to come alive using whatever he can to get the job done Joey. "
Joey: " Yeah, too bad we have to see his father without a shirt on, just gross, I know it's the Halloween season and all but come on that's just too scary King. "
King: " I think that's what Hailey Black says too. "
Dylan continues to beat Esmur with the potato smasher until Esmur is down, He quickly turns and jumps into the ring to help Jeffrey Viper take care of Gebins. As Dylan Viper jumps in he grabs one of the potato sacks from the ring post and begins to open it up as Jeffrey Viper continues to drive his boney knuckles into the skull of Gebins. Dylan Viper starts yelling at his father to get Gebins ready but Jeffrey Viper just smiles and lifts up his arm as he smells his armpit and looks over at Gebins and smiles.
King: " What is Jeffrey Viper thinking? Team Viper has a chance to eliminate one half of The Nihilist from the match right now. "
Joey: " I think he wants to add a little insult to injury first King. "
King: " Well whatever he does he needs to hurry as Esmur is starting to move around and this Irish crowd is starting to get restless. "
Jeffrey Viper grabs Gebins head and screams out "PITY CITY" as he shoves the face of Gebins into his nasty sweaty armpit and just rubs it in. Dylan looks as if he's about to puke then begins to laugh a bit as the crowd starts launching potatoes into the crowd. Several members of the crowd can be seen using potato guns as they aim them at Team Viper. Dylan Viper dodges the potatoes and waits for Gebins to be released from the armpit of his father. As soon as Gebins is released Dylan Viper grabs Gebins lifting him up on his shoulders as he marches around in a circle. Then Dylan Viper does an airplane spin, and throws Gebins up and drops him on his head. Jeffrey Viper has the potato sack ready.
Joey: " BLACKOUT, BLACKOUT, BLACKOUT, BLACKOUT!!! "
King: " What a move Gebins never saw that coming Joey. "
Dylan Viper lifts up Gebins placing him into the potato sack as Esmur rushes into the ring nailing Jeffrey Viper with a Superkick to the back of the head knocking him clean out of the ring. Esmur follows him as Dylan quickly ties the potato sack eliminating Gebins from the match. The referee signals for them to remove Gebins from the match.
King: " Looks as if Esmur allowed his emotions to get in the way and he forgot to save his partner. "
Joey: " He sure did King now it's a two on one, not looking good for the Nihilist. "
King: " No at all, the only thing Esmur can hope for is the fact that Team Viper tends to fight amongst themselves and hope he can capitalize on that. "
Esmur continues to attack Jeffrey Viper as he tries to shove a half rotten potato down the throat of "Father Viper". The crowd now getting behind Esmur as the chant his name.
"ESMUR, ESMUR, ESMUR, ESMUR"
Esmur keeps beating Jeffrey Viper with potatoes as he lays there on his back, you can see chunks of potatoes flying every time he smashes one against the head and face of Jeffrey Viper. Dylan Viper slowly climbs out of the ring as takes his time as he watches his father being beaten by his opponent, Dylan smiles as if he's enjoying the sight. He points a finger gun at them and runs towards them as he attempts to hit "BOUNTY COLLECTION" Esmur counter's with his own move as if he knew Dylan Viper was coming for him.
King: " CLARITY, CLARITY, CLARITY, CLARITY!!! "
Joey: " Esmur just hit his finisher on Dylan Viper if he ever had a chance to even the odds it's right now King. "
King: "Absolutely Joey. "
Esmur looks around as he finds a hand mixer and picks it up and nails Jeffrey Viper in the side of the face with it knocking him down as he drops the mixer he grabs a potato sack and walks over to Dylan Viper. Esmur opens the potato sack and starts to shove Dylan Viper in it Dylan barely able to move tries to fight but Esmur knees him to the face taking the rest of the fight out of him and shoves him the rest of the way in the bag and quickly ties the bag. The referee signals for the other referees to remove Dylan Black from the match.
King: " It's now a one on one match Joey, Father Viper vs the Luchador Esmur. "
Joey: " I'm shocked that Jeffrey Viper outlasted his son Dylan. "
King: " Well sometimes age and experience will help you out. "
Esmur walks over to Jeffrey Viper kicking him in the ribs a few times as he begins to move around, Esmur reaches down grabbing Jeffrey Viper by the arm and drags him over to the ring and lifts him up enough to roll him into the ring. Esmur jumps up onto the ring apron and slowly walks over to the corner ring post as he climbs up to the top he looks down at a vulnerable Jeffrey Viper and attempts to deliver a massive "VOID".
King: " Esmur just missed his finisher. "
Joey: " That was a major mistake as it gives Jeffrey Viper a chance to get back in the match and end this thing. "
King: " Yes it does Joey. "
Jeffrey Viper stands up and runs over grabbing a potato sack and heads back over to Esmur he places the potato sack over the top half of Esmur as he slides out of the ring and grabs a potato gun from a fan at ringside before sliding back into the ring. He walks over to Esmur who's top half is covered by the potato sack and aims the potato gun straight at Esmurs balls and fires it. As Esmur jerks around in pain Jeffrey Viper laughs, as he does a DX "SUCK IT" gesture at Esmur and the crowd and pulls the potato sack down the rest of the way over Esmur and quickly ties the sack up ending the match as the referee signals for the bell.
DING... DING... DING...
Joey: " They did it, King, TEAM VIPER won. "
King: " What a match Joey, let's go to Bonnie Jenkins for the official announcement. "
Bonnie Jenkins: " Ladies and gentleman your Annihilation tag team tournament winners TEAM VIPER!!!
The fans are then treated to the following image on the Xtremetron
Bonnie Jenkins: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a First Round match in The Scorpion Classic!
"My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" plays from the PA, and the crowd shakes in thunderous boos, as the man who is now the most hated in AXW walks out from the back. Cocky, smug, arrogant. That is what Anthony Caffrey embodies. The UnLegend walks down the ramp, smirking as he collects boos from the crowd. As he reaches the ring, he puts his foot on the steps and pauses. He then points to it, and makes a snapping motion, sending a message to his opponent. He casually smiles and proceeds climbing into the ring. He walks to his corner and perches atop the turnbuckle, awaiting his opponent with a smile plastered on his face.
Bonnie Jenkins: Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 230 pounds... "The Unlegend" Anthony Caffrey!
Joey: This one of them GWA peeps? Heard many things from them recently and this Anthony Caffrey fella is the leader, so to speak.
King: Yep, Anthony Caffrey is the leader of the Arrogant Violent Assholes.
Joey: Arrogant Violent Assholes? Well, that name sounds like pure bullshit. Just like the smell around here, it's disgusting!
King: I farted.
Joey: King! BLOW IT THE OTHER WAY!!!
The arena goes dark red and gold lights start to flash as the arena fills with smoke. A monster slowly appears walking down the ramp as pyros shoot flames into the air you can hear Enter Sandman by Metallica playing. He methodically enters the ring stepping over the top rope and standing like a God in the center of the ring as he waits for the bell to ring.
Bonnie Jenkins: And his opponent, from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 317 pounds... "The Natural Born Killer" Duke Kosloff!
Joey: I hope Duke isn't looking for any kids with Alexis Grace anytime soon after his match last week.
King: It's a different type of way of saying he has "Blue Balls", that's for sure.
Joey: You got that right. It's not like we want any little Irish Duke Kosloffs running around here in nine months.
King:: I think that's a nightmare you're having, Hawke.
Caffrey and Kosloff are trading glances from each of their respective corners, while the ref runs down the rules and cordinates with the rest of ring crew to make sure things are set up. Dunne and James are warned about funny business and they both hold their hands up in acknolwedgement. The ref asks if the two men in the ring if they are ready and as soon as they both agree the ref calls for the bell.

One Fall Match
"The Natrual Born Killer" Duke Kosloff vs. Anthony Caffrey
[...DING DING! DING DING!...]
With a smirk on his face Caffrey reaches a hand up in the air and bends his knees slightly, offering up a test of strength. At first the seven footer would appear to oblige, but just before their hands meet Kossloff takes an extra step in and blasts Caffrey with a huge elbow to the side of the head. Caffrey would be laid out already holding his dome on the mat. Kosoff would shake his own with a disgusted look on his face. He raises his hand over and over again, telling his prone foe to get up. Caffrey would wipe his mouth, and attempts to do so, but as he gets to a knee Kosloff introduces him to a big boot.
Kosloff would reach down and drag Caffrey back up. Kosloff looks to the two men at ringside and delivers a cut throat motion before kneeing Caffrey in the stomach, still holding on. He spins both of them around and irish whips Caffrey into a corner. With a full head of steam he charges and attempts to spear Caffrey. Caffrey would leapfrog in a sudden burst of life while Kosloff passes underneath and rams a shouder into to post.
Caffrey would start to stomp at the back of Kosloffs right ankle over and over as Kosloff tries to dislodge himself. Kossloff would react lightly to each one but frees himself from under the ropes. Caffrey isn't phased and keeps going with a bit more intensity the further along Kosloff gets. The ref steps in at this point and begins a count in an attempt to get the action back in the middle proper.
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...THREE...]
[...FOUR...]
Caffrey breaks off and begins arguing with the ref about count speed and fairness. Kosloff turns around and is about to step forward but his boot is being held by Jack James. Kosloff looks and yells at James who releases his leg, but as his back is turned Caffrey delivers a targetted drop kick right back in the sore joint. Kosloff falls backwards and Caffrey rolls out onto the apron. Caffrey scales the ropes and gives a thankful nod to James. Kosloff gets to a knee, only to be met by a Flying Eagle (Clothesline from the top). Caffrey makes the cover with a huge grin on his face.
[...ONE...]
Kosloff simply bench presses Caffrey off of himself and Caffrey flies. Caffrey almost instinctively rolls outside and looks a bit bewildered. Kosloff gets to his feet and limps over to the ropes, leaning over them, yelling at Caffrey to get back inside. The Ref has now begun his count.
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...THREE...]
Caffrey just leans against the barricade at this taunting, flauting his classic nature.
[...FOUR...]
Kosloff ducks under the ropes and attempts to roll outside but Caffrey is already on the move running towards another end of the ring.
[...FIVE...]
Kosloff, still feeling the effects, tries to chase after him. Caffrey rolls inside the after finding the next side of the ring and Kosloff follows shortly after. He's met with a baseball slide for his efforts which sends Kosloff back into the barricade. Kosloff isn't taken off his feet but that doesn't stop Caffrey as he pulls himself up on the ropes and now he's the one taunting the monster after leaning over the ropes.
[...THREE...]
[...FOUR...]
The ref keeps counting but Kosloff climbs the steps and ducks under the ropes to get back inside.
[...FIVE...]
Caffrey is still talking big as Kosloff can be seen with visable frustration on his face. Caffrey makes the first move and again signals for a test of strength. Kosloff appears to give in and attempts to lock hands, but this time it's Caffrey who moves in and delivers a chop block to Kosloff's leg. Kosloff falls forward and Caffrey wraps that leg up in the...
[...C.A.L....]
(Caffrey's Ankle Lock)
He twists that right ankle tightly and the ref falls to the mat trying to see what Kosloff wants to do. Kosloff keeps shaking his head in a negative fashion. Caffrey grapevines the leg now in an attempt to keep it firmly locked on a man so imposing. Kosloff is in severe pain as evident by his reddening face.
That doesn't stop him from crawling towards the ropes. Each reach out with those massive arms brings Kosloff closer and closer. Caffrey would keep the pressure up and attempt to snap the ankle. Kosloff would reach the ropes and the ref would begin counting again.
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...THREE...]
Caffrey would twist that captive limb harder.
[...FOUR...]
Caffrey releases Kosloff who grabs at his hurt appendage. Caffrey begins arguing with the referee one more time, citing bias. Duke would rise up to his feet, hobbling slightly but beats his own chest. He's already had enough of this. Caffrery attempts a leaping cross body but is caught by Kosloff. He uses his own instabilty to transform the manuever into a backbreaker which Caffrey can barely revover. Kosloff would stand now and circle the prone Caffrey. He would reach down and palm each side of Caffrey's head and apply...
[...THE MONSTER'S VICE...]
(Cranium Crunch)
Caffrey would be on the receiving end of punishment now as he wildly kicks. The ref would bend down and ask him if he's had enough. Caffrey would wave it off, but Kosloff wrenchs in applying it even tighter. Kosloff chants out, "tap little man before I break you!" Caffrey starts losing his will to go on when Jack James gets on the ring apron seemingly about to step inside. The ref rushes over and tells James to cut the shannigans, which prompts a back and forth between the two.
Kosloff keeps the hold applied during this interaction but Dunne rolls inside and blasts Kosloff in the back with a kick to the head, breaking the hold. Caffery rolls outside as does Dunne, just as the ref turns around. Dunne attends to Caffrey who's on his knees on the floor. Dunne pulls him up but Kosloff has already recovered. He hits the opposite side and suicide dives into the two, and crushes Caffrey and Dunne onto the floor.
Jack James rushes around the ring and takes a swing at Kosloff who has risen first. Kosloff side steps the attempt and lifts James up into a Samoan Drop. The Ref begins counting again
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...THREE...]
Dunne gets to his feet and attempts to launch Kosloff into the apron with a spear, but Kosloff rolls along the apron sending Dunne crashing into it. Kosloff then Bulldogs Dunne straight to the floor which gets the fans on their feet. Caffrery starts to recover and motions James over. They lock arms and attempt to double clothesline the giant. Kosloff stops them both in their tracks by grabbing at their necks.
[...FOUR...]
[...FIVE...]
[...SIX...]
[...SEVEN...]
Kosloff does a double chokeslam sending both James and Caffrey to the florr below. Kosloff would reach down and grab Caffrey by the neck and roll him back into the ring. Before returning inside himself he would kick both James and Dunne in the midsection and roll under the bottom rope. Caffrey would use the opposite side to get himself back onto his feet as Kosloff stares at him from the opposite end. Kosloff charges at Caffrey, but trips over his own feet. He makes that one mistake. And Caffreyswoops in, sweeping his legs out and moving in for the kill. He applies...
[...C.A.L....]
(Caffrey's Ankle Lock)
Caffrey has the hold locked in tight, dead center of the ring! Duke squirms, but the squirming only does more damage to himself, especially as Caffrey cinches the hold in tighter! Kosloff flails about, but the amounted pain is too much! He taps out!
[...DING DING! DING DING!...]
Bonnie Jenkins: The winner of this match, and advancing to the semi-finals of the Scorpion Classic, Anthony Caffrey!
The crowd erupt, as the little man has once again defeated a behemoth opponent! It's a huge win.
Joey:-ucking audio technicians...
King: Oh hey! I can hear us on the feed now! Folks, we experienced some technical difficulties but now, I think we're back on! And what a match these two put on!
Joey: Yes, a fantastic match indeed. A shame our headsets got cut out, because I made some amazing Rocky IV jokes during this bout!
King: And Duke would have killed you for that.
As we await our next match the lights immediately go out, thunder and lightning can be heard as we see these men walk out onto the stage where we see a see-through sphere on the stage, these men are dressed as soldiers like they are protecting whatever is in the sphere. The camera pans around to look inside the sphere to see someone is inside it. The sounds of the classic "Terminator 2 Theme" run through Croke Park as it goes on for 30 seconds.
King: Swartznegger? Is that you?
Hawke: Quiet, King.
Then it all cuts to black, no lights, nothing. Then... Styles Clash plays through the PA system as the lights go out. After 23 seconds, the lights come back on and standing atop the stage is James Raymond as he walks out of the sphere in a leather jacket and a T800 mask covering the left side of his face and in his hands is a prop Shotgun. He looks out to the crowd with a smirk on his face before walking down the ramp and heading towards the ring.
Bonnie Jenkins: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the First Round of the Scorpion Classic! Introducing first, from Coventry, England, weighing in at 204 pounds... "The Platinum Star" James Raymond!
Once he makes his way to ringside, he walks around the ring before grabbing the second rope and lifting himself up onto the ring apron and then looking out to the crowd. He hops over the top rope and doesn't climb to the second rope but he stands in the middle of the ring and points the Shotgun to the crowd in a Kenny Omega-esque style.
Hawke: James Raymond is here, and he looks to 'Terminate' Curtis Kanyon!
King: I guess he would want to dress up since Halloween is just around the corner, but this is too much! And not one of the soldiers was a girl! It's 2018, man!
Hawke: Don't worry, King. You can join the rest of the feminists that are watching that are seeing what you saw... Just don't do anything with them.
Hail to cheif starts to play, but after twenty seconds, it screeches to a halt. Then, "Amerika" by Rammstein begins to play.
"We're all living in Amerika,
Amerika ist wunderbar
We're all living in Amerika,
Amerika, Amerika"
Curtis D. Kanyon emerges from the curtain when the drums kick in. He's got a sledgehammer slung over one shoulder.
"Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen
Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus
und vor Paris steht Micky Maus"
Curtis pounds his chest with his fists then raises the hammer in the air. He walks down to the ring, nodding to the fans. He grabs a "MAKING AMERICA BANG!" sign from a fan and shows it to the camera!
"We're all living in Amerika
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika"
Curtis then climbs into the ring and goes to the turnbuckles. He climbs a turnbuckle and pounds his chest. He points to the crowd with his hammer, then hoists it straight up into the air and yells "BANG!" He jumps down and looks ready for action!
King: The rematch we all wanted at the first AXW United States Tour show, we're getting right now!
Hawke: These two have a storied history, but who will but the other away?
King: Let's just hope our headsets don't cut out this time!
[...DING DING! DING DING!...]
The two kick off by charging at each other and delivering a series of punches to each other's head. Kanyon gets an early advantage, being bigger, stronger, and much more a meathead than his lighter, speedier counterpart. Raymond keeps the quick series coming fast (like in bed ), but the slow, powerful blows of Kanyon send him tumbling back! The catlike terminator ripoff leaps back at Kanyon, delivering a low dropkick that almost topples Kanyon. He's able to steady himself in time, just to look up and a spinning kick straight to the face! That makes the stumpy man flop backwards onto his back, and he tries to get up but Raymond begins an unrelenting assault on his opponent, stomping away with force rivaling that of Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees. Kanyon rolls to the outside, and Raymond runs the ropes for a suicide dive, but Kan yon responds by clotheslining him midair!
King: He just turned Raymond inside out!
Hawke: Brutal clothesline by the XHF legend! How will he capitalize?
Kanyon begins to live up to his moniker of "The King of Extreme," by doing everything in his power to use weapons. He pulls out a chair, and then powerslams Raymond onto it! He shoves Raymond into the stairs! The ref warns him from toying the line of legality and illegal use of weapons, but he shouts "I'm the President, I'll do as I please!" That's when Raymond shoves him face first into the ring post! Both men are laid out, and the ref is counting higher and higher...
[...EIGHT...]
[...NINE...]
King: Are we going to see a double countout? What'll this mean for AXW?
The ref stops, before rolling out and rolling Raymond into the ring!
Hawke: The ref showing favoritism to the new blood!
The ref goes to finish the 10 count and announce Raymond the winner, but he rolls right back out and begins to beat up Kanyon some more. The referee rolls his eyes, Raymond had this match won!
Raymond begins his latest assault by slapping CDK a few times across the face, before getting a water bottle from a fan and dousing Kanyon with it! The behemoth crazily gets up, roaring, and Raymond taps him on the shoulder. CDK turns, and gets a stream of water to the face! The crowd cheer as he takes Kanyon and superkicks Kanyon into the ring! Kanyon rolls in, holding his face and slicking his hair back.
King: Raymond loosely bending the rules, that water bottle trick was fun to watch though!
Hawke: Raymond is cheating his way to win this match! That must surely be illegal!
King: You didn't cry for fair play when Kanyon used a chair...
Hawke: Yeah, because that wasn't illegal! He's a legend anyways, and old. Give him some slack.
Raymond slides in after Kanyon, and grabs his arm, irish whipping him to the ropes. He goes for a dropkick, but Kanyon ducks! He goes for a BANG! but Raymond leaps over him! Upon the rebound, Kanyon tries for a clothesline, but Raymond grabs the arm, swings him around in a swinging neckbreaker-like way, except he's in front. He leaps...
[...WORLD AT WAR...]
(Leaping Cutter)
King: Wow! That's a new trick we haven't seen in a while.
Hawke: Can Raymond secure a victory here?
King: Looks like he's not done.
Raymond backs up, and gestures for Kanyon to get to his feet, which he does, being an unrelenting warrior. Raymond charges at him, going for...
[...BROKEN PLATINUM...]
(V-Trigger)
Raymond rolls Kanyon over, hooking both legs and offplacing his balance and weight. The ref slides in...
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...]
[...THREE...]
The entirety of the Croke park explode as Raymond is able to knock down the POTUS once again! They all are a-roaring as he leaps on the turnbuckle, cheering for the man! That's when on the stage walks out Nate Pierce, the very man who beat Raymond to win the championship. He gives a slight smile, but claps for the winner.
King: And that may be a look into James' future after he wins the Scorpion Classic!
Hawke: If he wins the Classic. But now, back to our regularly scheduled XHF programming!
Bonnie Jenkins: Ladies and gentleman our next match is SSS Goddess of Sakura Championship match it will be contested in a Casket match. Introducing first the Suzuki Shoujo Stampede Goddess of Sakura Champion, hailing from Fukushima, Japan, she is Fukushima Zombie.
"Meshi Kuuna" by Inu begins to play around the arena as the lights begin to blink off and on, smoke rises from the ground. As Fukushima Zombie rises from the ground to appear at the top of the rampway. She appears to be dressed in an all grey wedding dress as she heads down to the ring black rose petals fall from the sky. She slowly enters the ring and waits for the match to begin.
King: " She looks better than ever here tonight Joey, she's ready to defend her championship. "
Joey: " Yeah but we don't know who her opponent is just yet King, But I think we're about to find out as our ring announcer is ready. "

With those words "Tsuki to Hanataba" plays its way into the arena. Shortly afterward Nausicaä appears upon the stage with a bright, proud, smile and blows the cheering audience a kiss before heading down the rampway. Once at ringside Suzuki blows smiles and waves at the crowd before rolling herself into the ring. After entering the ring Nausicaä makes her way over to the furthest ropes to sits on the middle rope and lean back before smiling more cheerfully at the people in attendance tonight.
Joey: " No way it's Suzuki, she's back. "
King: " Yes she is and looking pretty good and looks ready to cash in her title shot. "

The referee motions for the bell as Suzuki jumps off the ropes and begins to circle Fukushima Zombie, Suzuki shoots in on her opponent reaching for her legs but Fukushima Zombie easily moves out of the way. Suzuki quickly begins to circle again as the two women look at one another. Both women get tired of circling each other and just charge each other as they start swinging. Fukushima Zombie moves in with a Sliding German Suplex sending Suzuki crashing to the mat.
Joey: " Fukushima looks to be serious here tonight King. "
King: " She better be, her championship is on the line and it's against SBW oner Suzuki. "
Joey: " yeah she might take it back to SBW if she wins it. "
Fukushima Zombie grabs Suzuki by the hair and begins to drag her toward's the ropes as she slings Suzuki out onto the floor. Fukushi Zombie jumps on the top rope and delivers a moonsault onto Suzuki knocking the wind out of her. Fukushima Zombie looks around as the fans begin to chant...
"OONISHI, OONISHI, OONISHI, OONISHI, OONISHI"
King: " This crowd is loving the champion Fukushima, Joey. "
Joey: " Absolutely they are actually chanting her real name, King. "
King: " Yes, they are and in Japan, that's a sign of respect, so that's huge here in Ireland. "
Suzuki starts to move as she tries to get up Fukushima Zombie slowly walks over towards her as Suzuki leaps up and nails her with a spinning heel kick sending the champion into the ring barricade. Suzuki follows up with several kicks to the back and ribs giving no time for Fukushima Zombie to recover from the attack. Suzuki sees the Casket which is about three hundred feet away on a huge mound of dirt ready to be lowered into the ground when needed. Suzuki reaches over the Barricade and tosses a fan off of her seat as she takes the steel chair.
Joey: " Suzuki is about to make this match hardcore King, she just stole some fans chair. "
King: " Well by what I understand King Suzuki needs this win to help her company out, so shes got to do what she has to win. "
Joey: " She just better be careful taking it there with the likes of Fukushima Zombie. "
Suzuki swings the chair barely missing the back of Fukushima Zombies head as Fukushima Zombie jumps out of the way. The steel chair comes crashing down on the barricade as Fukushima Zombie applies a rear naked choke on Suzuki. Suzuki instantly begins to tap but does her no good as Fukushima Zombie just tightens her grip on the hold even more. The fans are on their feet going crazy as the scream in excitement the crowd now chanting for both women trying to elevate both women in this match.
King: " Listen to this crowd Joey, they just seem to be loving these two women. "
Joey: " Hell, yeah these two are putting on one Hell of a match, King. "
King: " Yes, and still going. "
Fukushima Zombie continues to choke out Suzuki as Suzuki begins to fade we see a fan jump the ring barrier attacking Fukushima Zombie. Fukushima Zombie releases the hold as she defends herself against the assailant, the hooded assailant manages to get in a few stiff kicks before delivering a Shoutei Palm Strike followed by a Round House Kick. The two continue to fight all the way up to the mound of dirt as Suzuki lays on the ramp trying to catch her breath.
Joey: " Who is this mystery fan attacking Fukushima, King? "
King: " I don't know but the fighting style looks familiar Joey. "
Joey: " It does, doesn't it. "
Fukushima Zombie starts to get the better of the assailant as she rips off the hood from her attacker revealing Ai Moe, as Fukushima sees her face Ai Moe delivers an Airplane spin into a tornado kick sending Fukushima to the ground.
King: " LOVE IN ACTION, LOVE IN ACTION, LOVE IN ACTION!!! "
Suzuki runs up jumping on top of Fukushima Zombie laying into her with rights and lefts as Ai Moe joins in with kicks to the body of Fukushima Zombie. As the three women fight on the mound of dirt the fans are can be heard letting their opinions be heard on the situation. Ai Moe heads over to the casket opening it and getting it ready for Fukushima Zombie to be laid to rest. Suzuki begins to drag a beaten Fukushima Zombie up the mound of dirt to the casket as she tries to fight back.
Joey: " Looks like Suzuki had a backup plan for tonight King. "
King: " It sure does Joey, but what a disgraceful way to win. "
Joey: " Well it is basically a no disqualification rules match King, anything goes. "
The two women begin to lift Fukushima Zombie up as they set Fukushima up and deliver a "DREAM CRUSHER" knocking Fukushima Zombie into the casket. Suzuki stands over her ready to close the casket.
Joey: " It's over King, it's over. "
King: " Yeah, only took two of them to beat her. "
Joey: " Say what you want but we are about to have a new champion in SSS. "
As Suzuki goes to shut the casket the lights in the arena go off, as the lights come back on Ai Moe is out cold at the bottom of the mound of dirt and Suzuki is screaming in pain as Fukushima Zombie has her in the dreaded "JIGOKU". Fukushima Zombie applies the hold with a spaced-out look of pure pleasure on her face as the crowd is at a dead silence.
King: " Fukushima Zombie is more than anyone can imagine Joey. "
Joey: " King, but how the Hell did she turn this around? "
King: " I don't know but she has a bit of Darkness in her Joey a bit of magic and this is the time for it. "
As Suzuki screams in pain from the "JIGOKU" you can see her begin to fade as she passes out, Fukushima Zombie releases the hold standing up. She looks down at the lifeless body of her opponent Suzuki and reaches down lifting her up. She carries Suzuki over to the casket placing her into it as she slams the casket door shut the crowd explodes in cheers and chants of...
"OONISHI, OONISHI, OONISHI, OONISHI,OONISHI "
The referee signals for the bell ending the match as he rushes over to Fukushima Zombie handing her the SSS Goddess of Sakura Championship.
King: " It's over Joey Fukushima Zombie retains in what was an amazing match. "
Joey: " Yes it was and one of the best so far. "
King: "Let's go to our ring announcer Bonnie Jenkins for the official announcement. "
