*Following the introductory video of “The Naked Truth” we see the familiar image that has been seen a few times before, before it eventually fades off the screen as well…and Jason Labonte is the man that comes out from the left side of the stage, giving a quick greeting wave to the camera, and the people that are at the live studio. The two stools setup. The television on that was playing highlights from the latest editions of Gastro and Pyro -- Jason Labonte stands between the two stools, before beginning to talk to the cameras and the viewers.*
“Welcome, welcome! This is the third edition of ‘The Naked Truth’, and I would just like to thank all of you for being here…big show, tonight. Second highest ratings on VTV, again! A huge thanks to all of you that tuned in last week, and many of you who are tuning in this week!”
*Jason applauds for his own show, leading the fans in the live studio to also applaud with him for how successful the show has been so far…hoping that it would only continue.*
“Anyways, I think it’s best that we should get started with the show immediately. Our guest interview tonight will be with the returning superstar, former XHF World Champion, Death Trap!”
*A lot of the crowd is cheering at the sound of Death Trap’s name, and Jason Labonte resumes speaking.*
“It should be a great interview, and I can’t wait to meet the man. Just like last week, though, we do have quite a show before he’ll be on the show so it’s best that we get started before he gets here! Last week, we saw the debut of my version of the ‘Superb Seven’, and I am definitely going to be continuing on with it this week…we saw some surprises on both shows this week -- from the bombshell being dropped announcing that Primal and Reeshi would, in fact, be facing each other for the number one contender for the X*Crown Championship…to the theft of Bradley Bear, the attack on Brad Kane, and there have just been some pretty big impacts this week! Hopefully…next week can live up to everything that has been hyped up, so far.”
*He takes a couple steps back, going towards the television as it is still playing everything that occurred over the last two shows while he resumes speaking.*
“Last week, we saw Decoy being the very first superstar named on the ‘Superb Seven’, and this week…this superstar did double-duty this week. And…well, there’s no reason to beat around the bush this time around, and so I’m just going to tell you all that Decoy has retained his spot at number seven! I was thinking that he was going to be one that would slowly inch his way towards number one, but after we didn’t see too much from him this week…sure, we saw him on Gastro. Sure, we also saw him on Pyro! But what did he do? What did he say? He didn’t say he was going to win this week, and he could have very well walked out with two losses which…I believe…would have ultimately knocked him off this list. He’s an absolutely great athlete, but he needs to get his head back in the game again! He has been absolutely spectacular since he got assaulted by Enmity a while ago, but now he seems to be slipping…I question whether he’ll retain this spot, or be knocked off next week.”
*The image shows Decoy for a couple moments, before showing a large number six coming up signifying that we’re going down the list.*
“We saw the number one contender for the No Mercy Championship take this spot at the start, but after sitting out for a week…I can assure all of you, that he’s not retaining this spot. He wasn’t on Gastro. He wasn’t on Pyro. We finally got word from him last night -- it wasn’t enough to keep him even on the Superb Seven this week, so you won’t even be seeing him on it this week! Coming in at number six this week, making his debut onto the Superb Seven: Brad Kane! He has done a wonderful job since getting into that ring again, now with two victories over a single loss…I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I am a HUGE Brad Kane mark! And it was just a matter of time before he would be seen on this list, and he has finally made it. What I see…is a future number one. What does he have in store for him this month? After what Enmity did on Pyro, you can’t expect him to be happy about it.”
*The image shows Brad Kane taking the number six spot, as it shows a few highlights from his match against Jayson Matthews this last week, before going onto the next number…five.*
“Coming up at number five this week, is a former number one contender. ‘The Biggest, Baddest Dog in the Yard’ Reeshi, somehow keeps himself on the Superb Seven this week after the inactivity. No matches this week, but after demanding that he gets a rematch against Steve Awesome for the X*Crown Championship, only to be shot down, and given a match where he could become the number one contender -- he retains a spot for himself this week…you have to believe that if he can somehow manage a victory, he’ll start inching his way closer to the number one spot again.”
*We see the image of Reeshi there for a couple moments, and then going onto number four.*
“Taking the number four spot this week after picking up a huge victory in his debut…our very own guest tonight, Death Trap! Death Trap gave the second official loss to the former number one contender for the No Mercy Championship, who -- due to the performance that he put on -- seemed very angry about his loss at Ruthless & Reckless to Sexy Jason, and it cost him in the match…big time! Believe me when I say this, but Death Trap will have his work cut out for him this next week…when you all find out his opponent as soon as we get to the predictions. Can Death Trap keep it up? Will he eventually become the X*Crown Champion, or the No Mercy Champion much like his friend, and former XHF star, Gravedigger? We’re going to find out.”
*The image shows Death Trap there for a moment, as it shows a few highlights from his latest match against Kris Destiny, but it doesn’t last there for long…Jason Labonte walks to the other side of the television, as he did last week, as they were entering the top three. The spinning wheel was shown on the camera, spinning rapidly, as Jason Labonte continues speaking.*
“The top three this week…believe me when I say that all of them have done enough, maybe not this week, but they have done enough to be in the top three. This was the toughest decision for me this week, because everybody in the top three stood out to me so much this week!”
*The wheel stops showing the image of the X*Crown Champion, Steve Awesome! We don’t see any highlights from his latest match, but rather we do see some from his match against Reeshi, and from his latest promo in which he celebrated his victory over Reeshi to retain the X*Crown Championship.*
“Coming in at number three this week is the X*Crown Champion, being knocked back two ranks after being unable to compete in action by order of the doctor…believe me when I tell you that he wanted to get in that ring! He will be returning to the ring this week, and proving to the world why he is the X*Crown Champion. And his opponent this week…”
*Jason Labonte turns and walks across the television, while imitating a quick spin as the wheel starts to spin again…it doesn’t spin for very long before stopping on the Chaotic Champion, Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith. He stands there for a moment then turns directly to the camera.*
“That’s right, folks, his opponent this week is going to be the Chaotic Champion! Who has been on an absolute roll lately! He defeated Nelly Angel at Ruthless & Reckless last Sunday…he went on to defend his championship against Randy Angel on Gastro, and successfully! Then he even made his appearance on Pyro in a non-title match against Arik Kaige, and walked out with that victory! He did what the number one contender for his belt couldn’t do; he had double-duty, and he won both of his matches! Believe me when I say that ‘The Innovator of Awesomeness’ is going to have his work cut out for him with the Chaotic Champion this week, and Tyrone Smith is not going to have an easy time, either…this is going to be one for the ages.”
*There’s a short pause at this moment, while Jason Labonte waits for the wheel to start spinning. He paces back and forth in front of the television, not looking away from the camera and towards the fans in the stands while resuming.*
“And we come down to our number one spot this week, what knocked the X*Crown Champion off of his number one spot…what knocked Reeshi out of number two, with the help of Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith, but this is a very well deserved spot!”
*Moments later of the wheel spinning, it stops right on the logo of Enmity. The trio of Angel, MGK, and last week’s guest, Tara Fenix -- although only Angel and Tara were the only two active ones at the moment, MGK was still a part of the group and would be named with them.*
“Successful in their first match where they wrestled as a team, Enmity has taken this spot by knocking both Decoy and Primal off the charts! Then they both went to Pyro and attacked the Kane family…there’s no denying that Angel and Tara are going to definitely start weeding out the people that they don’t see as being good, from the people that they do see as good. They also have the possession of Megan Kane’s birthday present from Brad Kane, Bradley Bear…will they be able to get that present back? Or is Enmity going to keep their prize? This week, they won’t be teaming together to take on anyone…they both will be in their own respective singles matches. Will they remain as successful as they were this week?”
*After the image fades off of the screen, Jason Labonte takes a couple steps forward and looks at the camera still with a smile on his face.*
“Onto the predictions, but as you all should know…we start with the results of last week, and this week will be another thing new: Overall. How many times I’ve been right, as opposed to how many times I’ve been wrong! Overall! Meaning that when we come back to this a year from now, we’re going to still be seeing how many times I’ve been wrong, and how many times I’ve been right.
A quick rundown on the results, starting with Gastro, we saw Obsidian take on Harold Campbell, where my pick was for Obsidian was going to take the win…and he did just that! He went out against a legend, and somehow…he walked out with that win. The next match on Gastro was Mr. Mysterio taking on the chief of security, Aksel Anarchy, which ended in a draw…so, much like last week, this is another match that is going to be unable to be judged because I wasn’t right. I wasn’t wrong. It was a draw. This match is scrapped! We saw Randy Angel getting a shot at the Chaotic Championship against the reigning champion, Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith, and my pick was for there to be a successful defense. A successful defense is what we saw. Tyrone is still the Chaotic Champion! The main event of Gastro was Decoy and Primal teaming up to take on two members of Enmity, and my pick was for Enmity to take this victory…because, let’s face it, Tara has defeated Decoy. Tara has defeated Primal. It was Angel’s debut match in the Xtreme Hardcore Federation, and we were promised great things! Great things is what we got! We saw an absolutely astounding finisher, as Tara landed Fenix Wings #2, and Angel hitting Heaven’s Fury. This is what they call ‘Motive’, and it’s what they needed to pick up the victory.
Pyro opened up with CK Owens taking on Decoy, which both of them are great wrestlers! As I had predicted, Decoy would rebound after being pinned on Gastro with the victory, and hopefully get back to recovering all of that lost momentum that will build to him possibly becoming the Chaotic Champion. Decoy defeated Owens in the opener. We saw Brad Kane looking to continue on with his winning ways after losing to Arik Kaige in his return match, and Arik’s debut, but he instantly rebounded by defeating Matt Hicks at the pay-per-view! Then he defeated Jayson Matthews, who…let’s be honest here, we can’t take anything away from the final Hardcore Champion! He has a pin fall victory over Reeshi! And Brad Kane cut all his momentum off by pinning him on Pyro. Arik Kaige took on the reigning Chaotic Champion, in what is Tyrone’s second match of the ‘work week’ of XHF…Tyrone showed why he’s called ‘Crazy Boy’ and why he represents all that is chaotic! He defeated Arik Kaige. The main event was the return of Death Trap, and I was surprised here…but Death Trap walked out with that victory.
That puts me at six and one for this week, with a total of eight matches…one not counting.
Weekly: 6-1
Overall: 14-4
Now we go to the predictions for this week.”

*Jason Labonte walks back towards the television fixing his cowboy hat a moment before looking towards the camera, and the fans, as we see a quick little video for the first match of this week.*
Singles Match
"The Sovereign" Chris Cobain vs. Harold Campbell
“Gastro is going to kickoff with Harold Campbell looking to rebound from his loss to Obsidian this past week, against a new up-and-comer, in a man who calls himself ‘The Sovereign’ Chris Cobain. Both of them looking for a victory! Harold Campbell is looking to prove that he still has it, and may eventually get up to the X*Crown Championship…Chris Cobain is looking to make one hell of a debut with a victory over the former World Champion, X*Crown Champion, first and only two-time No Mercy Champion. If you look at the résumé of Harold Campbell, the only thing that you will be able to mutter is ‘WOW!’. Unfortunately, I don’t see Harold Campbell winning this one. He’s an old man now, not as good as he once was while he was in his prime, and Chris Cobain could be seen as another key piece to the future of the Xtreme Hardcore Federation, and to the future of the industry! I think we’re going to see Chris Cobain take this one, but not without a fight.”

Singles Match
Mr. Mysterio vs. "Savior X" Angel
“This is going to be a pretty tough call to make, considering I know the past of Angel…I know how spectacular he has been back in his former organization, the nCw, but I also know just how brutal Mr. Mysterio is! We saw some amazing resilience from Mr. Mysterio in his match against Aksel Anarchy this past week and I really do have to question: Is Angel going to be capable of knocking him out? Is he going to be capable of locking in a submission to force him to tap out? What will Angel have to do to be able to walk out with this victory? I’m sure that’s a question that Angel will be asking himself over the next couple days, while Mr. Mysterio…well, he’s not going to be sweating it. After what we saw on Gastro, though, you have to believe that Aksel and Mr. Mysterio are far from done with each other, so that makes us question if he’s going to have to look over his own shoulder for the arrival of Aksel Anarchy. I think that Mr. Mysterio will be too focused looking over his shoulder, and Angel is going to walk out with this one. Showing that he has everything Tara claims he has, everything he claims he has, and proving why he’s Enmity material, which…as we all know…they aim for the best. They give the best.”

Non-Title Singles Match
Obsidian vs. Sexy Jason
“The No Mercy Champion was out of action last week, which is why he got bumped off of the Superb Seven this week…but he might get back on it with this one. Obsidian looks to be getting better in that ring after he was able to walk out with that victory over the former XHF World Champion, who is going to have his hands full with Chris Cobain this week, and Sexy Jason…the last time that we saw him in that ring was at Ruthless & Reckless, where he only retained his championship due to Kris Destiny being disqualified. This is a little preview of what we may see at Supremacy when we see Chris Kanyon, the number one contender for the No Mercy Championship, take on Sexy Jason…we may see a new champion. To the here and now, though, I think we’re going to see Obsidian continue with his hot streak and pull a huge upset over Sexy Jason.”

X*Crown Championship #1 Contendership Singles Match
(Winner earns the exclusive right to face reigning champion Steve Awesome on Sunday, October 25th at XHF Supremacy '09!)
Primal vs. "The Biggest, Baddest Dog in the Yard" Reeshi
“This is going to definitely be a tough one to call, because Primal is not happy after he was unable to defeat Chris Kanyon in that ring…and he is a very smart wrestler. He likes to take things slow, and will eventually work into all those powerful moves, and he does have the strength to be able to match with the former X*Crown Champion…knowing is anger, though, you can’t say that Reeshi is not angry! The man got right into the face of our Executive Director and demanded a match to take on ‘The Innovator of Awesomeness’ Steve Awesome for the X*Crown Championship. This is what he got! Both of these men are mad, both of these men want to move on and continue being a success…who wants it more? Who has enough in the tank to be able to do this? Reeshi…he hurts people for fun. Just because he can! Both of them hate kids. Primal steals cotton candy, Reeshi punches them straight in the face and gives them a Coral Reesh. I’m going to have to go with the more evil one. Reeshi."

Prediction: “The Biggest, Baddest Dog in the Yard” Reeshi
*We see the image of Reeshi slowly fade after a couple seconds, and then it kicks off to the introductory video of Pyro as we’re moving onto the predictions for Pyro.*
“That’s the main event for Gastro, and we’re going to move on to Pyro after that one, which we have another great card! Four absolutely astounding matches, that could very well be the main event…but two matches that stand out, and that’s why I’m going to say Pyro will have a double main event this week.”
Singles Match
Randy Angel vs. Brad Kane
“The show is going to start with Randy Angel, coming off a loss given to him by Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith, and Brad Kane, coming off a victory over Jayson Matthews…and an attack from Enmity, meeting in that ring! You all should know my prediction as it is, it’s Brad Kane. But I’m going to tell you why it’s Brad Kane! Because it’s BRAD KANE! He was able to defeat Matt Hicks, Jayson Matthews, and now he’s angry after what Enmity did to him. They stole Bradley Bear, they left him in that ring with Megan having to tend for him…Randy Angel is going into a match that he can’t win. When will he get his revenge? We don’t know, exactly. For the meantime: Wrong place, Randy…wrong time.”

Prediction: Brad Kane
*The image stays there for a couple moments until finally fading away, and showing a few highlight for the next match…we see the brutality that Aksel Anarchy had with his match against Mr. Mysterio, the strength he showed at “R&R”, but to take nothing away from Decoy…the resilience he had when he ended up being the winner of that battle royal. When he was the winner over CK Owens.*
Singles Match
Aksel Anarchy vs. Decoy
“This is another very tough call, because we’ve seen what Aksel Anarchy is capable of doing…we’ve seen that Decoy is on a bit of a roll, but we have to wonder if he has enough momentum to be able to topple this wall of a man! One of the walking walls of professional wrestling, Aksel Anarchy is getting into that ring to face off against the person that he was aiming to eliminate in the battle royal at ‘R&R’ and you have to wonder if he’s going to be able to finally keep his word. The same situation for him as Mr. Mysterio, though, is he going to have to look over his shoulder? Or will he focus on the task at hand and eliminate Decoy as he wanted to do? The fact remains that Decoy never actually did eliminate Mr. Mysterio or Aksel Anarchy…so he has nothing riding on him when it comes to anything over Aksel, except for possibly the mental edge. I think he’ll have to look over his shoulder, though, and that’s all the time Decoy will need to make something happen. I think Decoy will keep his momentum going.”

Prediction: Decoy
*An image of Decoy is shown briefly, as Jason Labonte takes a couple steps forward and tucks his hands into his pockets.*
“The main events…next…two absolutely huge matches! Two superstars, two former XHF World Champions…colliding…you could say that they are the wrestlers of yesterday. Yesteryear. The second main event being the superstars of today. The first match between these two, though, the match between the yesteryear.”
Singles Match
"The Frozen Phoenix" Tara Fenix vs. "The Main Attraction" Death Trap
“A match of epic proportions, to say the least! Tara Fenix is coming hot off her victory over Mr. Happy from Ruthless & Reckless…her victory over Decoy and Primal, Primal on two occasions! She is on a streak of four, and that is no easy task these days. It’s definitely going to be a huge match between these former World Champions. Death Trap has just returned to the XHF ring, and already a victory over one of the quickest rising stars of recent XHF days, by defeating Kris Destiny -- now he has his work cut out for him with, arguably, the greatest talent in XHF history. In all of professional wrestling, we rarely see a woman that is able to get in the ring with men…and be the best among them. Tara has done just that! I swear, if I had a coin I would flip it right now! But I’m going to have to give the edge to Tara on this one, because there is something about her. She knows how to get things done in that ring, and with Enmity, she is putting out some of the best wrestling she has ever done in the past -- because she expects the best out of MGK, expects the best out of Angel, who are her equals…but what can she expect if she, herself, can’t deliver? Tough call. But in the end, I think Tara is taking this one.”

This is going to go down in the history books as one of the greatest Pyro shows in the history of the Xtreme Hardcore Federation. Possibly one of the greatest shows throughout the entire wrestling shows in history. We will see the Chaotic Champion battling the X*Crown Champion, for nothing more than bragging rights…both of them are insanely talented, and the fresh faces of the Xtreme Hardcore Federation! ‘The Innovator of Awesomeness’ being the main event at Night of Champions this year, Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith becoming the first-ever XHF Chaotic Champion…one of the faces of the XHF! When you look at the XHF, you look at both of these individuals as being two of the best. It’s going to be a tough match between them, and with Tyrone Smith being on the hot streak that he has been on and Steve Awesome possibly still hurting from his injury -- I’m going to have to say that Tyrone ‘Crazy Boy’ Smith…will keep his hot streak alive, in a match that will be nothing short of being a candidate for match of the year.”
Prediction: Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith

Prediction: Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith
*The final image for the predictions show Tyrone “Crazy Boy” Smith as the predicted winner for the epic Clash of the Champions match that would take place this upcoming Monday… Jason Labonte took his hands from his pockets and walked towards the stools, standing between them as he looked directly into the camera.*
“Alright, ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment that we all have been waiting for! Our guest for tonight, please join me in giving him a warm welcome here to the studios of ‘The Naked Truth’ where e-mails have flooded in for this individual! ‘The Main Attraction’ Death Trap!”
*Jason Labonte steps back to his own stool, while leading the fans with applauds for the former XHF World Champion, X*Crown Champion, European Champion, and Phoenix Champion, Death Trap! “You’re Going Down” by Sick Puppies starts to play over the PA system as Death Trap comes out from the left side of the stage… DT stops off to the side of the stage and points to the crowd and beckons them to get louder. He smiles and winks at a lady in the front row and then hops into his seat atop the stool and shakes Jason's hand. Both of them take their seats in their respective stools as Jason Labonte looks almost awestruck, as he does almost every week for being able to meet the great superstars that take the time to meet with him and do this interview.*
“What an honor, what an honor!”
*Jason speaks enthusiastically.*
“Sitting here with a star such as yourself, it is an honor. How are you doing on this fine day?”
"Oh you flatter me. I'm doing absolutely amazing after my re-debut last night. So much love from the fans and a win. And I didn't even die! How about you my good sir?"
“I’m doing absolutely great, and congratulations on your win last night. I have to admit, I thought there was going to be some ring rust, but you looked absolutely fantastic. But, as you know by the title of this show, it’s called ‘The Naked Truth’ which means that these fans have submitted their questions…I have questions of my own, and anything you may have wanted me to ask and you answer have been submitted. As is tradition here, we do start with the fan submitted questions, so…are you ready to start this interview?”
"Yeah let's do this thing."
“Alright, the first question comes in from a ‘Chris Jenkins’. He says that he’s a huge Death Trap fan, and was wondering what the ‘lowdown’ on your possible future goals within the Xtreme Hardcore Federation, now that you’re back in the XHF?”
"Hmm well for now it's just to get back into shape and get the ring rust out. I guess Monday I'll have a real test with a former champ in Tara but hopefully she's willing to put on a good match and not try to be too overaggressive this early. For the future ... I dunno I don't see a title shot any time in the near future but I wouldn't put it OUT of the question but let's get to Thanksgiving first before I try anything huge hehe."
“You heard it, fans, but I personally wouldn’t count on Tara not being overly aggressive in that ring…those darn Latinas. The next question we got is from a former XHF star, Genesis. He asks: ‘Mr. Trap…if that’s your real name. How have you embraced God lately, and why should you be on TV when the rightful Godwarriors are not?’”
"Ha well back before I retired I told everyone my real name. So it's Mr. Carloni, but really all I did Geoffrey ... was sign the contract. I mean you could come back. Heck it doesn't take a Godwarrior to see that. Hey remember that time you got Exodus's belt possessed BAHAHA oh that was gold. Can we move on to a ... REAL ... question instead of misplaced jealousy?"
“Absolutely…what is a ‘Godwarrior’? No, seriously, the next question comes from Jimmy. He’s wondering about your thoughts on a potential XHF Hall of Fame?”
"I'd bet it was some kind of name he just made up to sell Bibles to Crusaders hahaha. A hall of fame would be a very intriguing idea. I'd be very excited to see that someday. No doubt fatass would put himself in first and then some originals who deserve it like Dessy and Scorps and then maybe in the third wave or so some guys who earned it like myself. I'd be into that yeah."
“I do believe the XHF does actually have a Hall of Fame, but Mongo kind of hides it away like he did the World Championship…and my pepperoni pizza…seriously, I had some pizza here that you would’ve been able to have a couple slices, but he took it. Was talking about budget and everything, it was a bit hard to understand him when he had half a pizza slice stuffed down his throat. Speaking of Mongo, the next question came in from an anonymous individual, didn’t supply a name, but he asks if you and Mongo have made up or are still at ends?”
"Hmm well we haven't made up but we aren't at odds anymore. Let's face it Mongo knows he was right to sign me to XHF and we have our light hearted ribbings and the truthful observations about his weight and his girth but I wouldn't say we are enemies ... but I guess not friends either. Heh I'd invite him to dinner but I couldn't afford to pay for that or the renovations for getting him through my door! HAHAHA!"
“Everybody is so mean to Mongo, but I vision him kind of being like Ben Stiller at the end of Dodgeball. He wouldn’t be able to do anything, anyway. The next question…it kind of came in and is too priceless, so if we can turn towards the television…”
"Oh you flatter me. I'm doing absolutely amazing after my re-debut last night. So much love from the fans and a win. And I didn't even die! How about you my good sir?"

*Both Jason Labonte and Death Trap look towards the television where this is displayed:
From Harold Campbell <DoubleH@HardcoreSex.com>
Jason Labonte, who the hell are you? Why did you choose obsidian over me? Do you know who I have beaten? I have beaten myself.... not like that but in front of thousands of people... AGAIN NOT LIKE THAT!!! You pick obsidian? A guy that spits cheese in people's eyes.... MY EYES!!!! You better hope I never get booked to your show. Else you will be out of a life.
As for Death Trap being there next week. I have this to say to him. I still have plently of red bricks with your name on it. When you feel like stopping by, don't mind me when I smash your skull in. Later.... BABY!!!

“Who the hell am I? To quote a great movie, Harry: I’m the guy that does his job! You must be the other guy! I picked Obsidian to beat you, just like I chose Chris Cobain to beat you, because these are guys that also do their job. As far as you never being invited to my show? Turn your career around, and we’ll talk! You want to finish up Harold’s question, DT?”
"Who was he even referring to? Hey ... he may have sent you a virus attachment but at LEAST ... we can not see whether or not he has pants on ... I STILL wash my eyes every night after that run he had. Bricks eh? Meh Harry we've played that out. Or have we. I suppose I've only ever fought Hardcore Harry, never Harold Campbell! *miming quotes* so who knows. Hey if you wanna go old school ECF in a Harry/DT match we can do that ... Supremacy is coming up and while it's no longer in the month of my birth it is still my PPV. We could have an old school ECF rematch, bag of bricks hung on each corner, anything goes. You get back to me big guy."

You get back to me big guy."
*DT winks and kisses the screen and points then cracks up laughing*
"Seriously ... what has that guy done to himself?"
“I truly do not know, I know he’s a great talent. Former XHF World Champion. X*Crown Champion. Two-time No Mercy Champion. Just kind of went off the radar ever since he lost to Jason back at Overheated. Anyways, our next question comes in from Chris Kanyon and he’s asking if you only came back to show how washed up he says you are?”
"Pfft hahaha oh man I shoulda expected that one. You know Chris ... maybe I did. If I can't compete we'll see and you'll surely scavenge a shot at me then but let us remember. One on one ... you are zero for four ... or was it five? Who knows but put it this way. Despite your achievements and your current standing ... Death Trap will ALWAYS be betta."

One on one ... you are zero for four ... or was it five? Who knows but put it this way. Despite your achievements and your current standing ... Death Trap will ALWAYS be betta."
*Jason Labonte mouths the words “zero for four…or five?” while staring dumbfounded for a moment. Of course, he did recall all the classic matches after he has been a longtime XHF fan, and just was finally getting his big break on television doing ‘The Naked Truth’ for XHF.*
“That about wraps up the questions from the fans, and now we’re going to move on to my questions for you. My first question is what did bring you back to the XHF? We had no hints, no nothing, it was just so sudden! So…what did you come back for?”
"Boredom, emails from fans, seeing GD succeed so well in his return kinda drove me. To be honest it's no one thing. It's a lot. I needed to be back, it's who I am and the XHF needed a boost and who better to put fans in the seats than the Main Attraction?"
“I can’t think of a better way, other than Megan and Tara having a mud wrestling match. Onto my next question: Could you possibly enlighten us as to what Mikkel Seifer, the Executive Director, was talking to you about at ‘R&R’?”
"I could ... but ... I promised him I wouldn't. Let's just say he has something in store and when he wants us to know, he'll let us know. Let's just say it wasn't about a pay cut hahahahaha."
“That kind of reversed it on us, now we’re just wanting to know more…but I respect your decision, and respect the promise that you made to the Executive Director. More for the fact that I don’t want to lose my job. Anyways, my next question: Last night, you were successful in your big return to the ring against Kris Destiny, a former number one contender for the No Mercy Championship…who was on a huge roll up until his loss via disqualification. How does it feel coming back to the ring and being successful after so long, and did Kris Destiny give you the match you were looking for…or were you looking for better?”
"Well first and foremost it was amazing to be back on top and to give the fans the victory they wanted. But to be honest I don't think I'm that reduced of rust to beat him that bad. His mind was elsewhere and I was hoping he'd be more of a challenge to let me debut my new style that correlates with my weight loss and training. I'm faster and more driven so let's hope Tara gives me enough time to show off some of my new signatures since I'm pretty sure you all know my finales hehe."
“Speaking of Tara…as you already know, she is going to be your opponent this upcoming Monday, and…we all know she’s a bitch, you can say it…well, she wasn’t to me, she was awesome to me. Thought I might have had a chance. Anyways! Her skill in that ring -- what are your thoughts on her ability inside the ring? Or outside of it, I hear she was a swinger, you might have gotten to tap that? I don’t know what happened outside of the ring until I got this gig.”
"Heh no sir I wouldn't go near that crazy bitch. Still single ... to be sure she is a brutal foe and being trained by Reeshi and work with MGK ... well she could only have gotten tougher. I'm not about to back down, not my style, but let's just say I have some training to do to be ready for this. I have to wonder if Seifer is testing my rust with this booking hehe. But hey it'll be a kickstart to my resurgence right?"
“Absolutely, she’s a phenomenal athlete. If you can knock her off, you’ve probably gotten right up to the X*Crown, again! And great job by being able to avoid her, I haven’t quite learned my lesson when it comes to Latinas. My next question is what are your thoughts on the current X*Crown Champion, ‘The Innovator of Awesomeness’ Steve Awesome?”
"Couldn't be a better representative of the XHF at it's top tier. Better than Kanyon that's for sure. Heh. I wouldn't be going after him even if I manage a win with Tara. But let's say this man has beaten Reeshi twice now and once at his own game. I hope he has a nice long reign but for his sake since nobody's beaten him three times in a row let's hope Reeshi falls to Primal Friday. That Primal guy ... he seems pretty brutal. Good in ring skills. That match should be phenomenal. I'm pulling for that Primal guy. Better the new evil than that old brutal evil."
“I must disagree with you there, DT, because I think that Reeshi is going to pull some of his old tricks and earn himself another shot…it would be great to see a new face up there, but I don’t think Reeshi is quite ready to let it go. You said that you weren’t going to go after the X*Crown Champion even if you did manage to get a victory over Tara, but let’s say that Primal or Reeshi wins, and wins the X*Crown Championship at Supremacy…would you set your eyes on it, and do you see yourself capturing it before the year is out?”
"Like I said I have no title aspirations as of now. I just need to get into in ring shape. And let's say that Reeshi or Primal does win, I wouldn't want to fight either of them till I know I'm 100% ready. But I may be pulling for Primal ... but I'm predicting Reeshi hehe. I simply wanted to point out some stand out new talent. But the Chaotic Title isn't up my alley since I'm not a fan of weapons ... other than my signature bat available in the XHF shop ... or cheating which is what that rule about DQs in the NM title is to me so I don't see myself trying that. X*Crown I'm not ready for. But let's say if I was to go for a title it would b December earliest, most likely 2010, and it would be the X*Crown or ... maybe if a tag division cropped up ..."
"Boredom, emails from fans, seeing GD succeed so well in his return kinda drove me. To be honest it's no one thing. It's a lot. I needed to be back, it's who I am and the XHF needed a boost and who better to put fans in the seats than the Main Attraction?"

*DT rubs his hand over his clean-shaven chin and head.*
"Still getting used to the new look. Aerodynamic I must say."
“Absolutely, though a lot of people would never shave their head…Tara, for one. Last thing we need is a Britney Spears running around. My next question is wondering if there is anyone currently under contract with the XHF that you would like to face? Your greatest challenge? And why do you want to, or why do you see them that way?”
"Hmm ... that's a toughie. I still love fighting Kanyon but that's no challenge. Reeshi is always a good foe. Enmity looks pretty tough. But you know I love challenges so I would love to have a friendly one on one with Steve Awesome. The guy is brilliant in the ring and his style would fit a true test of my abilities. Plus he is better than Reeshi right now ... coming from my viewpoint and when I first broke the World title scene it was all Reeshi on top. I still owe Ish a beating but since he's gone ... well Steve would be a cool challenge."
“I have to say, that match would sell itself. As long as it’s friendly competition. I believe these fans would love to see that one as much as I, myself, would love to! Anyways, you mentioned it briefly…the idea of the Tag-team Championships coming back into the XHF, and I do work very closely with Mikkel Seifer and bring him names of some possible new talent anytime that I find them, and I’m trying to help him with building a Tag-team Division, and he has assured me that he will not permit any other championship to return to the scene until those belts are back! So, a near future hope, and with our Executive Director on the job, I’m sure we’ll see it before too long. Anyways, my last question for you: When those belts do get reinstated did you have a partner in mind? I wouldn’t mind seeing Gravedigger making another grand return to the XHF ring to team up with you to go after those belts, but if that’s not a possibility, who do you see possibly teaming with?”
"GD and I don't gel as a team. The only way that would work is if we tried one-upping each other hehe. I don't have one in mind persay but I think I have a plan for it but like so many good things, that will have to wait for another day and another time. But I'm an easy guy to work with so I should be able to easily grab someone willing to team with a former world Champ right?"
“I’m sure there’s a number of people who would be willing to team up with you. Anyways, that does it for the interview! I appreciate you taking the time to speak with myself and these fans sitting in the stands, as well as the many fans watching from their computer on VTV.com, or even on their own televisions.”

*Jason Labonte stands up from his seat, and extends his hand out to Death Trap while “Celebrity” by Brad Paisley starts to come back over the PA system kind of playing in the background, not too loud, so Death Trap and Jason may continue sharing words… DT smiles and nods a few times to Jason before turning into the crowd and leaping into the crowd to sign some autographs as the camera focuses back on Jason. Jason stands and claps his hands together while staring into the camera.*
“A huge thank you to Death Trap for giving us this wonderful interview here tonight, and I would like to wish him luck in his match against Tara Fenix at Pyro…next week, we will have another guest on the show, a man very familiar to even Death Trap -- he even submitted a question -- in the studios next week will be the number one contender for the No Mercy Championship, ‘The MVP of XHF’ Chris Kanyon! If you have any questions you would like to ask him, feel free to e-mail me at jasonlabonte@xhf.com or you can phone in your questions to the XHF hotline, where a machine will take all messages.
Have a good one, folks!”
Have a good one, folks!”
*The music plays a little louder as Jason Labonte exits stage right, and we see the image that we saw at the very beginning…as usual, before the camera finally fades out.*
