*“The Naked Truth” plays the introductory video with the theme of “Celebrity” by Brad Paisley before finally coming to the image that was shown just before the start of the video as well… We fade in at the actual studio where we see the giant television that became familiar from the very first edition of the show, and the two stools where Jason and his guest host -- who would be Tara Fenix tonight -- would sit to do their interview. Jason Labonte came out from the side and give a two-finger salute to the camera with his finger right at the edge of his eyebrow underneath the white cowboy hat, before coming to the center of the stage and clapping his hands together…the guitar tune played a little in the background, slowly coming to a close, as Jason began speaking.*
“Thank you! Thank you, everyone, for tuning in this week, and I would absolutely love to thank all of you for tuning in last week…aside from Gastro, ‘The Naked Truth’ had the highest ratings on VTV!”
*Jason claps his hands a moment while mouthing the words “Thank you.” to all the viewers. He stops clapping and just rubs his palms together while continuing on with his show.*
“All week long, you’ve been waiting for it! We do have Tara Fenix who will be joining us in the studios this evening. That won’t be for quite a while, though, because I do have one heck of a show for all of you tonight! The first thing on the agenda is to go over the top wrestlers throughout the last week, and there are some big names on this list. Keep in mind, this is simply by my own opinion, so to all the XHF superstars: Don’t feel cheated for not being on this list! You’re all terrific, and if I could have you all on this list, I would. However, it’s not possible. I was asked to pick just seven.”
*He took a couple steps to the side, and brought one hand back to gesture towards the television as it showed in a huge font that took up the entire 60” screen, “#7”.*
“Number seven, ladies and gentlemen, he has taken all of us by surprise over the last month and he has just been spectacular… He takes on some of the best, and he hasn’t beaten the best! But I think that it’s just a matter of time before we eventually see this man strike gold. He is being given that chance, too. Decoy! That’s right, folks, the lackey to the former X*Crown Champion, Reeshi, he’s finally starting to rise as a star of his own…a former Hardcore Champion. He managed to defeat not just one, nor two, nor three, nor four, or five, or six --”
*Getting a little worked up by the count, he takes a couple deep breaths to get his air back while still smiling to the camera…he chuckles to himself, but continues speaking as highlights of the battle royal that opened up Ruthless & Reckless are shown, with Decoy ultimately being the winner.*
“-- but seven competitors! He walked out of Ruthless & Reckless as the number one contender for the Chaotic Championship that is still being held by Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith. Could Decoy continue climbing this ladder of success, and eventually become the number one wrestler of the week by my judgment? Heck, I think Decoy could go on to become not just the Chaotic Champion, but even the X*Crown Champion! Great job, Decoy, and congratulations on being the number seven superstar on the premier of my own ‘Superb Seven’.”
*An image of Decoy can be shown on the screen for several seconds, but it eventually fades and is replaced with ‘#6’, the same size as the first number that appeared.*
“Coming in at number six this week is ‘The MVP of XHF’ Chris Kanyon, who was not just successful with his match at In Harm’s (Geta)Way, but also successful in the bout against Primal! He is the number one contender for the No Mercy Championship, held by Sexy Jason, and I do have to say that Chris Kanyon absolutely deserves this spot this week! After everything he has done over the last month…costing Primal in a rematch against Sexy Jason by accident, and then even costing him his match in the mini-tournament in what Chris Kanyon believes to be retaliation for what Primal did, although Primal was simply retaliating for what he did. It’s a big question: Is Primal going to stay out of Chris Kanyon’s business this month, and will we see Chris Kanyon get ever so closer to the number one spot and the No Mercy Championship? Another well deserved spot.”
*The image of the number one contender for the No Mercy Championship is shown on the screen for a few seconds, and soon replaced with ‘#5’. Jason Labonte licks his lips while still looking at the camera, and resumes his ‘Superb Seven’.*
“Number five this week came as a bit of a surprise, but there’s no reason that these people do not deserve this spot: Enmity! That’s right, folks, all three of them hold the number five this week…we saw a huge surprise at Ruthless & Reckless where former nCw star, Angel, debuted into the Xtreme Hardcore Federation! When the show opened, we saw Mikkel Seifer coming out of his limousine with Angel, so we can only assume that this is the obvious man that he has been in contact with over the last week or so -- but you have to wonder what Mikkel Seifer is thinking about Angel, because this caught us with a huge surprise when he aligned himself with Enmity later in the evening. On top of that, we saw Tara Fenix not just welcome Angel into Enmity…but this entire week, she has been completely messing with the head of Mr. Happy, and who would have thought that at the end of the week she would even end his career in the ‘Poison’ match? Not only did she defeat Mr. Happy at Ruthless & Reckless in that vicious match, she also was the one who scored the pin fall for her team with Chris Kanyon and Deathtrain at her side. Believe me, it surprised me as much as it surprised all of you! Enmity takes this spot.”
*Instead of showing an image of a single wrestler, it shows the logo of the team for a few seconds, and then does the same as it did for all others… We’re down to number four.*
“Alright, I promise all of you that this next one…is a huge surprise! You would definitely imagine that he would have done enough to at least earn himself a spot in the top three, but not by my standards. No sir. No offense, mister ‘Sensational’ Sexy Jason, but you’re only holding the number four spot this week. A great spot, nonetheless, being on my ‘Superb Seven’ is always a treat! Sexy Jason has been absolutely spectacular since he has become the No Mercy Champion, and this past Sunday, you have to believe that he caught a lucky break…if his head had not hit that belt, you have to believe that Kris Destiny could be walking around as the new No Mercy Champion right now. What can you do, though?”
*Jason Labonte shrugs his shoulders at the camera, as the image of highlights from all of Sexy Jason’s matches are shown including a lot of highlights from his last title defense.*
“Unfortunately, I do think that Sexy Jason may be one of the people on his way off of my ‘Superb Seven’ rather than on his way up the list -- and, please Jason, I mean absolutely no offense by saying this! You were great rising to the No Mercy Championship, but lately, you’ve been lucking out on a lot of things and just have not been on that same hot streak that you’ve been on. Chris Kanyon might have your number this month. Who knows, maybe Kris Destiny will get his rematch and take the belt from you. I don’t know.”
*Sexy Jason is shown at the “#4” spot for a couple seconds as we’re finally down into the top three.*
“Okay, folks, we’re finally down to the top three. I have to say that these three individuals absolutely were astounding this last week! This whole month, in fact! Let’s get started with the number three.”
*The scene starts to flash a little showing a roulette wheel with all XHF wrestlers part of the wheel, to let the viewers wonder just who it might be…while the wheel is spinning, Jason Labonte walks to the other side of the television before turning back towards the camera and continuing on with the countdown. Before he has even said anything, it stops on Kris “Fa Sho” Destiny!*
“That’s right, everybody! Kris ‘Fa Sho’ Destiny takes the number three spot, although he was unsuccessful in his goal to capture the No Mercy Championship, as I said about Sexy Jason: He got a lucky break! It was an accident on the hands of Kris Destiny, and you have to believe that he’ll make sure that nothing gets in the way when he gets his next chance at it. We can’t take anything away from him, though. Absolutely nothing! The man just debuted last month…he defeated Obsidian, who is a great athlete, and not just once…but twice! He then managed to defeat the previous challenger of the No Mercy Championship, that being Primal. And then defeated Raven. Four wins. Four big wins! One loss. There is a big future for Kris Destiny in the XHF, and his time will come to be a champion. The question has to be asked: Should it have been Sunday?”
*The wheel is shown spinning again, as Jason Labonte stares directly into the camera with a stern look on his face. The question was a serious one: Did Kris Destiny rightfully deserve the victory on Sunday? That’s left up to the viewers. The wheel stops for the number two and shows “The Biggest, Baddest Dog in the Yard” Reeshi.*
“The former X*Crown Champion, and there’s no doubt in my mind that Steve Awesome is nowhere near being done with him! So long as both of them have contracts in the Xtreme Hardcore Federation, and both of them have their eyes on the X*Crown; I believe that they’re going to be waging war with each other for a looong time! He was unsuccessful in the Last Man Standing match, and to my knowledge, that’s the first time I can recall Reeshi losing that match type. Rumor has it that Reeshi is even going to be getting his shot back at the X*Crown Championship, if he can get past one hurdle…that’s the rumor, you’ll have to tune in on Gastro to find that out for sure.”
*He winks at the camera for a moment, and slowly turns to face the television a little. He lifts one arm as high as he can as if he were going to spin the wheel.*
“One last spin!”
*He shouted as he brought his arm down pretty fast, and the wheel started spinning…Jason Labonte stood there with his fingers crossed while mumbling to himself. “Big money, big money, no whammy, STOP!” The wheel stops…right on Steve Awesome.*
“YES!”
*Jumping in the air, and sounding absolutely ecstatic, he looks up at the image of Steve Awesome for a couple moments before turning to the camera. A smile on his face.*
“That’s right, viewers! The X*Crown Champion takes the number one spot this week after a grueling battle with Reeshi…he somehow managed to keep the big man down for a ten count, and was able to successfully retain his X*Crown Championship. His team was able to score the pin fall over Reeshi at In Harm’s (Geta)Way. This has been the week of Steve Awesome. Hell, September has been the MONTH of Steve Awesome! Ever since he had come back, he said it himself: He was not expecting this. He was not expecting the X*Crown Championship. He was not expecting to be put in that match. He came back simply to get his hands on Chris Kanyon, and he got his hands on him -- at the same time that he was able to capture the X*Crown Championship! Did he bite off more than he could chew? That’s what Reeshi has said. It seems that he’s having no problems, though.”
*Jason Labonte takes a couple steps forward as the final image of the ‘Superb Seven’ is of Steve Awesome, but it soon fades as we’re now moving onto the next segment of the show.*
“That does it for the ‘Superb Seven’ this week, though, and now we’re moving on to the predictions. I’ll start with updating my statistics, so you gamblers; as I say, I don’t support it! But I know there’s some of you out there…so it’s time for you all to listen up:
Mr. Mysterio was victorious by defeating Hell, last Wednesday. My prediction was for Mr. Mysterio. Arik Kaige defeated Brad Kane, and I predicted…Brad Kane. Raven versus Spike West, I did predict Raven, however! I was not wrong! I wasn’t right, either, so I’m not saying that I am…but that one can’t count since I wasn’t wrong, at the same time of not being right. Hierarchy taking on The Motor City Mafia: I was right! Steve Awesome and Jayson Matthews, former Tag-team Champions, were victorious. The main event of In Harm’s (Geta)Way…I was right. Chris Kanyon, Tara Fenix, and Deathtrain all walked out victorious.
Onto Ruthless & Reckless: The Battle Royal took place first, and I was correct that Decoy was the one to walk out with the win. I was right about Brad Kane defeating Matt Hicks. I was even right about Chris Kanyon walking out with the victory over Primal! I was especially wrong about the Chaotic Championship match. I did vote for Deathtrain to take the victory, but he ended up not even being there. Nelly Angel took the place of Deathtrain in the match, and Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy‘ Smith was able to walk out with his championship in hand. …unfortunately, with the ‘Poison’ match, I was wrong. It was Tara that walked out with that win. Although it was a huge surprise to me, I did still vote for him! Sexy Jason took the win in the No Mercy Championship match. And last, but most certainly not least, Steve Awesome walked out with the win.
Add all of those up… I was right about eight, and wrong about three. And one that doesn’t count because neither man won or lost.
8-3
Onto the predictions for this week… Starting with Gastro.”

Singles Match
Harold Campbell vs. Obsidian
Harold Campbell vs. Obsidian
“The show is going to kickoff with the return of XHF veteran, Harold Campbell! As we all know, he sat out of the entire Hawaii tour…and rumor has it is because he’s banned from Hawaii for some sort of sex scandal thing, but that’s another subject that would best be researched by Terry Bradshaw. Anyways, I think the time that Harold Campbell has been outside of the ring and when he did get in the ring last -- he faced himself. This could really go against him. Obsidian has not had some action for a while, but I think that he’s going to be able to take the former World Champion down and he’s going to be the one to walk out with this one.”
Prediction: Obsidian[/center]
*We see an image of Obsidian there for a couple seconds, as Jason Labonte immediately continues on with his predictions.*
Singles Match
Mr. Mysterio vs. Aksel Anarchy
“Both of these guys were going at it at Ruthless & Reckless, which is what brought this match about… There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that these two are going to rip each other completely apart. There are various factors, though, that go into this. Age. Aksel Anarchy is nearly fifty years old, and he’s getting back into that ring -- when he should really consider getting into retirement, and just remaining the security guard to our Executive Director. He has power. There’s no doubt about that! You have a flat tire, talk to this guy…he’s a human jack. So there’s power. There’s experience. Brutality? Both of them claim to be the most brutal wrestlers. We’ve seen what Mr. Mysterio can do, but we have not seen or heard from Aksel Anarchy in years -- and when we did, he was a measly security guard… I’m going to go with the younger, more brutal, Mr. Mysterio.”
Prediction: Mr. Mysterio

*A picture is shown of Mr. Mysterio for a few seconds, and goes onto the next match.*
Chaotic Championship Match
Randy Angel vs. Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith ©
Randy Angel vs. Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith ©
“Seeking a little bit of retribution from what happened to his brother, Nelly, Randy Angel is going to be stepping into the ring against Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy‘ Smith this Friday. I can‘t help but go for this, I think that the Chaotic Champion is going to successfully retain his championship against Randy Angel, as well as making very short work of him. Not as short as the match was between Nelly and Tyrone, but not much longer. If he can even make it longer.”
Prediction: Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith[/center]
*A picture of Tyrone Smith is shown for a couple seconds before going up to the next match.*
Tag-team Match
Decoy & Primal vs. Enmity (Angel/Tara)
Decoy & Primal vs. Enmity (Angel/Tara)
“This is a pretty tough call because Decoy has been on a role, but then you have to go into the factor of Tara…the Tara factor! She has a victory over both Decoy, and Primal. Although her victory over Primal is simply because Primal chose to walk out on his team last week, but it’s still a victory…she has defeated Decoy on a couple occasions over the last month. As well as defeating Reeshi, as well as Platinum. She has defeated the entire Hierarchy. Last month, Steve Awesome was her partner when they took on the two lackeys in Hierarchy, and they were able to walk out victorious. She doesn’t even like Steve Awesome! Angel is her new partner in Enmity, while MGK is out of action. She has spoken very highly of him. A former World Champion. A former three-time X-Division Champion. I know the résumé of Angel, and I have had the honor of seeing him in that ring -- just as some of you fans may have also had the honor of seeing him. He is a remarkable talent. Let’s not forget to mention the fact that Primal is not part of Hierarchy, and rumor has it…he won’t be because of the upcoming Gastro. I have the insider information. Trust me. Decoy has been on a streak as of late, but even with that streak, he was not able to take down Tara…he doesn’t know anything of Angel. Enmity is going in with pocket aces. Tara…Angel…you can’t get much better than that. Enmity takes it.”
Prediction: Enmity[/center]
*Enmity is shown on the camera for a moment until the banner goes over to show Pyro.*
“And now we’re moving onto Pyro, which is a rather large event…and for those of you who will not be able to attend the live event, I urge you to watch it on www.xhf.com! It’s the only place you will be able to see it. Anyways, starting with the predictions for Pyro…”
Singles Match
CK Owens vs. Decoy
CK Owens vs. Decoy
“I know that I just spoke kind of down on Decoy as the upcoming loser of this tag match against Enmity, but it’s Enmity we’re talking about. I don’t mean to take anything away from Decoy! CK Owens has not been able to get a single victory in the XHF for a long time, and you’d normally think that maybe…just maybe he has that chance. Not anymore. Decoy has been on a role as of late ever since that change of attitude, and I think he’s going to immediately bounce back from a loss on Gastro, and go on to defeat CK Owens. Decoy will take it, and go into Supremacy with a lot of momentum to face the Chaotic Champion! That’s going to be a big one.”
Prediction: Decoy[/center]
*The image now goes to Decoy, as Jason Labonte slowly walks to the other side of the television but still doesn’t look away from the camera.*
Singles Match
Brad Kane vs. Jayson Matthews
Brad Kane vs. Jayson Matthews
“There’s no doubt about this, fans: There are a lot of people who look over the final XHF Hardcore Champion these days, and don’t think he’s capable of doing much…but he was able to score a pin fall victory for The Motor City Mafia last Wednesday at In Harm’s (Geta)Way! He does have a lot of momentum going into this match, and it’s unfortunate that I’m going to have to go against him. I can’t help myself, but I am a huge Brad Kane mark which is exactly why I had him as our guest on last week’s show. He had a bumpy start, losing to Arik Kaige…but he immediately followed up with being able to defeat Matt Hicks at Ruthless & Reckless, while Jayson Matthews was unsuccessful with being able to win the battle royal to become the tournament. As I said; I’m a huge Brad Kane mark, and I have to stay firmly in his corner this week.”
Prediction: Brad Kane[/center]
*The screen shows Brad Kane standing there, while Jason continued looking into the camera. He tucked his hands into his pockets while pausing for a couple seconds…thinking about this next match.*
Singles Match
Arik Kaige vs. Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith
Arik Kaige vs. Tyrone "Crazy Boy" Smith
“This is a pretty tough call, probably the toughest throughout the entire week of matches! Arik Kaige…scored a pin fall victory over Brad Kane, who is a former XHF World Champion. A winner of the Rumble. A winner of the main event of Night of Champions. If there’s any name you wish you could have a victory over in your debut match in the XHF, it is Brad Kane! At Ruthless & Reckless, though, he was the second -- or third -- person eliminated in the battle royal, and couldn’t earn a shot to face Tyrone Smith for the Chaotic Championship. On the side of Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith, he has been really active in that ring throughout the entire month! Not having just one defense, not two, not three, but four! He didn’t face Deathtrain at R&R, as we were all looking forward to, but he was still able to walk out with his championship in hand…there’s no doubt that ‘Crazy Boy’ is the real deal. He is one of the champions that XHF has been looking for, for a long time! A fighting champion! Like Steve Awesome, this man has been in the XHF for a long time and it’s finally time for him to shine…it’s finally time for him to be one of the faces of the XHF. I don’t see him letting that go. This may be non-title, but he will treat it like a title match, and he will walk with the win. Maybe even with Arik Kaige’s blood.”
Prediction: Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith[/center]
*We see an image of Tyrone Smith holding the Chaotic Championship in hand. A sigh escapes from Jason Labonte while he thinks about the main event for a moment and still going on to talk about it.*
Singles Match
Kris Destiny vs. Death Trap
Kris Destiny vs. Death Trap
“This is a tough call, though I would not say it’s nearly as tough -- Death Trap is finally returning to the XHF ring after so long of being out of it. A former XHF Champion, so there’s no denying that he has a lot of skill in that ring. The question I have is: How much rust does he have? Does he have to add a little oil to those gears? Kris Destiny is completely ready to get back into that ring, and after losing by disqualification to Sexy Jason at R&R, you have to believe that he’s hungry. He’s hungry for that victory. He knows as much as I do, as much as all of you know, a victory over a former World Champion, and a former X*Crown Champion, will definitely put him back in line for another No Mercy Championship match. If not the X*Crown. Hell, if he really is hungry for gold, he could take a crack at the Chaotic Championship, but then he’s going to have to deal with ‘Crazy Boy’…nah, I think that he’s doing just great, and he’s going to give Death Trap a bad start back in the ring. Kris Destiny takes it.”
Prediction: Kris Destiny[/center]
*Kris Destiny receives the final image as the predicted winner for his upcoming match against Death Trap. Jason Labonte now begins to walk over to the stools that are a little bit ahead, as the camera is also backing up so the stools are in the view of the camera.*
“Now, ladies and gentlemen sitting in my studio right now…sitting at home…watching from your computer, from your TV, from. Anywhere! Please help me with welcoming our guest: ‘The Frozen Phoenix’ Tara Fenix!”
*“Undead” by Hollywood Undead starts to play over the speakers of the studio, but Jason is the only clapping his hands at the moment, but he stops for a moment while mouthing something to one of the stagehands. He speaks it in almost a whisper.*
“Queue-- queue the cheers!”
*He gives an innocent smile, while some of the crowd is laughing and the generated cheers start to go off. The crowd that’s in the live studio try to drown the sound out by still booing but to almost no avail as Tara Fenix comes out from the left side of the stage with Jason Labonte still clapping his hands. He extends his hand to Tara--*
“Welcome, welcome!”
*Rather than shaking his hand, she greets him with a hug. He doesn’t hug her back at first, but after a few seconds pats her on the back to give a light hug back.*
“Oh, a hug?”
*Jason Labonte laughs a little to himself, as Tara Fenix nods her head a little and smiles while both of them take a seat on their stools and the music cuts off.*
“Caught me off guard there!”
“Aw, I’m sorry!”
“It’s quite alright. Quite alright. How are you doing, doll?”
“I’m doing fantastic. Absolutely fantastic! How about yourself?”
“Can’t complain. Can’t complain at all. How do you feel about being on the show?”
“Great, it’s a great show. And I feel absolutely honored to be on the show.”
“Aw, I’m sorry!”
“It’s quite alright. Quite alright. How are you doing, doll?”
“I’m doing fantastic. Absolutely fantastic! How about yourself?”
“Can’t complain. Can’t complain at all. How do you feel about being on the show?”
“Great, it’s a great show. And I feel absolutely honored to be on the show.”
*Believe it or not, but Tara Fenix actually sounded sincere while nodding her head a moment along with the answer. A stagehand comes out from the right side of the stage with a piece of paper that she hands over to Jason Labonte, was he simply gives a grateful nod mouthing “Thanks.” to her.*
“Well, that’s great! I’m glad to have you. But, let’s say we get this interview underway… As you probably saw last week, we start with the questions submitted by our viewers -- whether they be submitted by your own colleagues, or submitted by the fans…basically anyone can submit anything.”
*Jason turns to look at the camera for a moment.*
“Just so all of you know, none of these questions are scripted. All of you, yourselves, have submitted the questions and Tara has not seen any of them until today. She will be answering your questions, as well as my own…on the fly.”
*He smiles to the camera and nods again before turning back towards Tara, and starting with the first question as she glances at the crowd, then at Jason Labonte as he asks the question.*
“The first question that came up was from…a legend, actually; Willie Nelson. He’s saying that he is working on a music video and would love to have you be featured in the video. Asking if you’ll grace him with your presence. What do you say?”
“Umm, I have to be honest with you, Willie…and fans…I’m not really a big fan of Willie Nelson, and I don’t believe in doing something that you don’t want to do. It would feel more like a chore to be doing a music video with him rather than actually having a good time. So, I am going to have to decline his offer. Thank you, though.”
“Sorry, Willie, but you heard the lady! The next question we got came from your very own colleague, the former XHF World Champion and X*Crown Champion, much like yourself, Death Trap…he asks if you’re coulrophobic or coulrophilic, or anything along those lines because it was kind of creeping him out with your clown obsession, and honestly, had me kind of feeling creeped out. Because you never struck me as that kind of lady.”
“Oh, absolutely not. I don’t fear clowns, I don’t love them…and these fans love Mr. Happy, but I don’t. Death Trap has known me for a long time, so I’m kind of surprised that he didn’t catch on to what I was doing. I was just toying with Mr. Happy. Just like I toyed with Charlie Velez back when I hated his guts! It’s something that I get used to, and I never get tired of toying with them. It makes it so much fun when they think they have a chance.”
“Well, the words of a bitch…”
“Umm, I have to be honest with you, Willie…and fans…I’m not really a big fan of Willie Nelson, and I don’t believe in doing something that you don’t want to do. It would feel more like a chore to be doing a music video with him rather than actually having a good time. So, I am going to have to decline his offer. Thank you, though.”

It makes it so much fun when they think they have a chance.”
“Well, the words of a bitch…”
*Jason Labonte laughs, and Tara just rolls her eyes at the comment. She smiles a little to give a sign that she’s willing to play along with the jokes.*
“Well, the next e-mail came in from Megan Kane…who just came into the XHF with her husband, Brad Kane. She’s wondering why you’re always a total bitch, and says that every time she sees you on a promo…you’re just being a bitch. Suggesting you take a chill pill. Anything to say to Megan Kane?”
*Tara’s eyes look towards the floor for a moment, as her mouth opens a little as if she is about to comment. She snickers and shakes her head a moment, then looks up at Jason Labonte to answer the question.*
“Can you please quote that like…word for word?”
*Slowly nodding his head, Jason Labonte looks to the paper with the question on it.*
“Sure, no problem. ‘Tara, I was wondering what you do to stop being a total bitch all the time? Every time I see a promo from you, you’re always so bitchy. Just take a chill pill sometime.”
*He lifts his head to look back at Tara waiting for the answer.*
“Well Megan, I think that if you were in that ring as long as I have been…if you are as good in that ring as I am…you’d be acting the same way that I am. As a woman, people are always looking down on me and thinking that they’re just going to be able to walk all over me. So they…are being total dicks to me. What do I do in return? I prove I’m better. I know I’m better. So I become a bitch to them so they know that I’m better, too. If you were half as good as me, you’d understand that.”
“As much of a mark as I am for Brad and Megan Kane, I do have to agree that Tara currently does have a more impressive résumé than Megan. Maybe she does have a point. Anyways, our next comment…not really a question…comes from your ex-husband, William Spencer. He’s just reminding you that parent/teacher conferences for your son’s school are this Thursday, and he wants you to be there.”
“I’ll do what I can, and I’ll try to be there. But I can’t promise anything. Give Aaron my love.”

“I’ll do what I can, and I’ll try to be there. But I can’t promise anything. Give Aaron my love.”
*She blew a kiss to the camera, to her son, as Jason Labonte went onto the next question.*
“Next comment comes from some girl named Amber…she would like to say that you are an absolute inspiration to her, and her friends, saying you know how to treat men. Obviously a lesbian. Pigs? Well, that’s downright rude. And…she loves you.”
“I’d like to thank her for her support through all these years, and I have to agree, I know how to get things done in that ring. That’s where I treat you all bad. I’m going to agree with your comment, though; she’s probably a lesbian.”
“I’d like to thank her for her support through all these years, and I have to agree, I know how to get things done in that ring. That’s where I treat you all bad. I’m going to agree with your comment, though; she’s probably a lesbian.”
“Your next question comes from another one of your colleagues -- Sexy Jason --”
*Tara looks up for a moment, as if to ask a higher being “Why?” since she wasn’t expecting a question from the No Mercy Champion, while Jason Labonte continues speaking while she does this.*
“He’s asking when you’re going to face the facts, and wondering why you keep playing hard to get…which he loves…then says that you know he’s the only man that’s able to handle you, and asking when…it…will…be?
*He read the final words slowly while looking up to Tara to hear her answer.*
“Unbelievable. I get rid of one joke, one pathetic wrestler…that being Mr. Happy, and now I have Sexy Jason trying to get in my pants. Again. It’s no surprise because I am by far the sexiest wrestler of all time, throughout all the organizations -- not just XHF. You know, I’m actually probably the sexiest woman throughout the entire world. So it’s no surprise to me that all these men are begging to be with me, even a lot of women…but I can’t shake these disgraces long enough so I can be happy.”
“Well, that does it for the submitted questions. I do have a few of my own for you, though…how did you feel when you heard that you were going to be able to meet Alice Cooper? Heck, how did it feel when you did meet him?!”
“I was pretty excited. I’ve always been a pretty big fan of his, and it was just an honor to be able to meet him…I do have to apologize on behalf of the XHF for him getting tossed over a bridge by Mr. Happy, but I’m sure he’ll forgive us knowing that Mr. Happy is now out of work.”
“Speaking of Mr. Happy, you were ultimately decided as the winner at R&R. You destroyed the career of Mr. Happy…do you not have any regret over what you’ve done?”
“No, absolutely not. None at all. I did what I do best, and that’s wrestle…Mr. Happy knows damn well what I’m capable of doing in that ring. He went out there with confidence, I’ll give him credit, believing that he could defeat me. Not just believing he could defeat me, but believing that I would actually love him if he beat me! No. No. You do not go out there thinking that you’re going to beat me. Because you’re not going to beat me. It’s a fact. Reeshi…thought he could beat me. He couldn’t do it. Rage…thought he could beat me. He couldn’t do it. Those guys are two legends of the XHF. Even Scorpion! All of them…thought they could beat me. I have beaten all of them. I am the best at what I do. Simple.”
“How about your future plans, though? Opponents, championships…anything?”
“To be honest, I haven’t thought about capturing a championship ever since I re-signed a contract with the XHF. Not until recently. After I defeated Mr. Happy, I’m kind of questioning myself; what do I have left? I’ve beaten our X*Crown Champion. I’ve beaten all the legends that are left in the XHF. I have beaten absolutely everyone, and now Enmity is taking their rightful place at the top of the XHF. It’s all in motion, now. I’ve thought of going after the X*Crown Championship just so I can tell everyone that I still have it…just so I can hold that belt for fourteen months…straight. And surpass the legend that Reeshi had as the World Champion. Opponents? There’s no one left to beat.”
“What about MGK? Do you know his whereabouts, and even speaking of him, he is one of the wrestlers that you have never beaten…you both had one match, but he was victorious. You don’t want a second match against him?”
“He’s my teammate, and we don’t battle with each other. That doesn’t mean that the time will not come where we may be forced to face each other in that ring, like…if I become the X*Crown Champion, and MGK was to earn a shot at the X*Crown Championship. I told Platinum when I offered him a spot in Enmity. We don’t ask him to lose. We don’t ask him to lay down. I wouldn’t ask that of MGK, and he wouldn’t ask that of me…we go out to that ring, we put on our best, not for these fans, but for the industry! It’s just friendly competition for us. He does have a victory over me, and I don’t have one over him. I’m not seeking retribution.”
“Speaking of Enmity, you recently welcomed Angel as your newest member…what sparked your interest in letting him into your self-proclaimed elite group?”
“Angel has always been a spectacular wrestler. Absolutely fantastic. He proved it when he became the World Champion at his previous organization…the first time to hold their X-Division Championship on three occasions. You’ll hear it from everybody! He is a legend, he is an icon. He is one of the best pure athletes in professional wrestling today…and bringing him in the Savior X to Enmity, that was like getting Adrian Peterson on your fantasy football team. Instant winner.”
“Well, that does it for the submitted questions. I do have a few of my own for you, though…how did you feel when you heard that you were going to be able to meet Alice Cooper? Heck, how did it feel when you did meet him?!”
“I was pretty excited. I’ve always been a pretty big fan of his, and it was just an honor to be able to meet him…I do have to apologize on behalf of the XHF for him getting tossed over a bridge by Mr. Happy, but I’m sure he’ll forgive us knowing that Mr. Happy is now out of work.”

*Jason Labonte stood up, which led to Tara Fenix standing up. He extended his hand to her again but was again got a hug.*
“Thank you for your time, Tara, and I do wish you luck this Friday against Decoy and Primal.”
“Thank you, and good luck with your show. I look forward to watching it next week.”
“Thank you, and good luck with your show. I look forward to watching it next week.”
*She let the hug go after a few seconds and turned to leave the studio, but Megan Kane stands there, blocking her path.*
“Well, well, well…”
“Oh, what do you know, here’s the bitch. What are you doing here?”
“The only bitch I see is you. I thought it'd be a smart idea to hang around here to see what you'd have to say about me. How do you even know that you're better then me? Have we even wrestled one another before? Nah, I don't think so.”
“Oh, what do you know, here’s the bitch. What are you doing here?”
“The only bitch I see is you. I thought it'd be a smart idea to hang around here to see what you'd have to say about me. How do you even know that you're better then me? Have we even wrestled one another before? Nah, I don't think so.”
*Tara takes a couple steps to get closer to Megan Kane, and stares her directly in the eyes. Out of nowhere, Jason Labonte’s head pops up between the two women as he’s glancing back and forth at them, sensing the obvious tension between them.*
“When you have a résumé like mine, then maybe you’ll be as good as I am. That’s how I know I’m better than you. I’m willing to work with you if you want to have what it takes to really get in that ring.”
“A résumé really doesn't tell the entire story about someone's career. Big deal, you're a former World Champion, tons of people can make that claim. But instead of trying to defend it, you did what, YOU GAVE IT UP like the scared little bitch you are. Is your ego so fragile that you basically destroyed the linage of the XHF World Title because you didn't want to lose it? Give me a break Tara, the only legacy you're leaving behind is a trail of dirty knees and cum dripping from your chin, you fucking whore.”
“This is really coming from you? Someone who has a dick strapped to a bear?”

“This is really coming from you? Someone who has a dick strapped to a bear?”
*Jason Labonte is trying to act calm, but calmly says something while the two women are too enthralled with their argument each other.*
“Umm…Jerry Springer is down the hall?”
*Megan gets further into Tara's face*
“Tell you, dirty knees, you meet me in the middle of that ring sometime and I'll show you what I'm made of. Because at least I don't have a trail of fifty guys I've fucked in this promotion. Face the fact Tara, you and Angel aren't the ones to save XHF. XHF needs to be saved from you. And leave my Bradley Bear out of this!”
*Tara doesn’t back down from Megan at all, as her ego won’t allow it.*
“You really want a chance to prove yourself in that ring…then let’s do it. Name the time, and place.”
“I think that a normal setting isn't the call for something like this. Me, against you, at Supremacy. How about the winner gets to call herself the Alpha Female of XHF. That sound good?”
“Sounds fine by me. I just don’t want to see your pretty face crying after I beat you.”
“Oh I won't be the one crying, you will once I leave you broken and beaten.”
“I’ve heard it all, sweetie, you might as well keep the words to yourself.”

“I’ve heard it all, sweetie, you might as well keep the words to yourself.”
*Megan glares at Tara a final time before turning around and walking away in complete and utter contempt for her. While Megan is walking away, the devilish grin comes to the face of Tara as she gives a quick nod to Jason Labonte…out of spite of Megan, she walks out the opposite side of the stage, and Jason comes forward.*
“Well, fans, that was pretty intense…I look forward to watching that match for more than one reason, if you know what I’m saying.
Next week, though, we’ll have Death Trap in the studios so submit any and all of your questions to my e-mail. It’s jasonlabonte@xhf.com in case you’re a first time viewer, or just have forgotten.
Thank you for tuning in this week, and I hope to see you all next week! Bye!”

*Jason Labonte gave a quick wave to the camera and exit’s the right side of the stage as the scene fades to the final image with “Celebrity” by Brad Paisley kicking back in.*
