Steve Awesome is standing in front of a wrestling journalist.
Steve Awesome: Ladies and gentlemen, I have the greatest and most shocking announcement in all of wrestling. Oh yeah, I hereby declare that I am entering the 2021 XHF Rumble!!”
Steve gives the camera a grin.
Steve Awesome: I know, that’s literally the best announcement of all time and-
Steve glances to his side in utter shock.
Steve Awesome: Woah! Does that say Spike Kane!?
Steve heads off to confirm what he just saw as the scene fades.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?"
The scene opens up to... Terry Bradshaw's eyeball.
Bradshaw: You see what this internet says? It says I signed up for the Rumble!
Copycat: Everyone can see! Your eye is in front of the webcam!
Bradshaw: I didn't sign up! I'm going to tell them right now to take me off!
Copycat: ...And they'll do it?
Bradshaw: That's right! YOU NAWF-LOVING ASSWIPES, TAKE ME OFF! NOW!
Terry Bradshaw looks down to end the call.
Copycat: WAIT, I COPYCAT FORMALLY REQUEST TO BE TAKEN-
The scene comes to an abrupt end.

xhf09.proboards.com/thread/19250/dog-king-terrian-bradshachrane-shortThe scene opens up at the small suburban California-look-alike university where a lot of young students are outside on a table. It looks like it's spring. In this one particular table, we have two girls and two boys. The girls are dressed as college cheerleaders in their outfits and all the guys dressed with varsity jackets, obviously members of the football team.Brad: You know Terrian, I've wanted to thank you for your help with my spiral throw. They just told me I'm going to play quarterback. Terrian: Yeah, football is really a passion of mine. I think I could have done that in another life. Becky: Yeah. Well I have class in five minutes. Are you and Sarah coming with Brad and I to do some mini golf? We were planning on going on April 25th, 2021. Terrian: No. I'm afraid I will be busy then. You see, I will be in the XHF Rumble only on the XHF Network. There, I will be throwing exactly 72 people over the ropes and out of the ring in order to be the X*Crown Champion. Sarah: Yeah. Sorry guys. But maybe we could go this weekend too. Brad: That works for me. How about you, babe? Becky: Absolutely. What about you Terrian? Terrian: No. I'm afraid I will be busy then. You see, I will be preparing my body so that I can be in the XHF Rumble only on the XHF Network. There, I will be throwing exactly 72 people over the ropes and out of the ring in order to be the X*Crown Champion. Sarah hugs herself against him on the side.Sarah: Ah fine, but you better call me tonight and distract me from this annoying philosophy final. Terrian: I will. I'll see you later, hun. Terrian Bradshachrane moves down to the eighteen year old girl and begins visibly and uncomfortably (for the viewers) making out with the girl. He then heads out.

*We open on a not-often-seen scene: Randy Angel in thought. He considers whatever he was thinking for a few minutes and then pulls out his phone. Immediately we're brought into a split screen to introduce...*
Randy: It's me, it's always me, who else calls you?
Randy: Nelly, why is your voice so scratchy and high pitched?
Randy: Oh.
*He pauses to consider this situation more.*
Randy: Well....could you tell Nelly that I'm going to enter the Rumble?
Randy: Arlight, jeez, must be a wrong nu-
Randy: Yes?
Randy: But if you're no-
*LD has already hung up and we're back to a single frame.*
Randy: I must have programmed his number in wrong. Maybe I need more...or less Super Sake...probably more....
*We fade out.*

Armand von Krauss sits in an easy chair with an Egyptian cigarette in his hand. He takes a drag from it and flicks ashes onto the floor, giving the camera a look of utter disdain.
Armand von Krauss: It seems that Dylan has dodged me and if I really want a shot at the X*Crown, I will have to sign up for the Rumble. Consider me signed up.
Armand blows smoke into the air with a cruel smile.
Armand von Krauss: I think I nailed it. These peons don’t know what they’re getting theirselves into when I get into the match and crush their hopes and dreams. I wonder if I could beat one or two of them into fatal heat stroke. The Network won’t miss Dylan Black should he “accidentally” die in the middle of the ring.
Gabriel Tuck: Uuuh, boss? We’re still recording.
Armand looks to the camera, obviously a cell phone in the hands of Gabriel Tuck, and blinks.
Armand von Krauss: Scheiße! Cut it! Cut the feed!
The screen quickly goes to black.

Canada.
The Powerade Center.
Roughly an hour after losing clean to the REAL Lord Dominicus.
Eric Dane steps out of the shower, steam billowing behind him as if he'd just spent an hour crying the pain away. The only thing around his waist is a towel now that the Double Crown championship belt is in the hands of Lord Dominicus.
The Only Star is inconsolable.
"The Rumble..."
He mulls the idea over.
"Fuck it," Eric shrugs. "I'm in."

[Fade up to Jeffrey Daniels, looking uncharacteristically serious.]
Daniels: I don't know how many of y'all pay attention to NPW, but if you did, you know that me and my homies Lee and Kirsty were being managed by one Jeff Andrews, and that Andrews had to split for some personal reasons.
[He shuffles his hands awkwardly.]
Daniels: Well, Kirsty's still a kid and Lee's the laid back one, and Jeff asked me personally to step up. I guess this is how I'm gonna start doing it.
[He cracks his neck to the side.]
Daniels: Plus there's how I feel bad about my terrible AWF run and bailing on them. Gotta improve on that.
[Deep breath.]
Daniels: Also the little extra paycheck won't hurt anything.
[Shrug, small grin.]
Daniels: And I haven't forgotten about what The Syndicate did to me a couple months ago. I know I'm not on Eric Dane's level yet, but battle royals are an even playing field for ultralegends and newbies alike.
[One more breath.]
Daniels: What I'm trying to say is, I'm in.

(The scene opens at J-ROK's centter and Psychotic Goth and Vampira is in Rage and Fury's locker room waiting as the door opens and Rage and Fury enter. There is much tension since they haven't seen each other in years.)
Psychotic Goth: "Hello my friends."
Rage: "Psychotic Goth."
Fury: "What are you doing here. We thought you were in SWAT."
Psychotic Goth: "I am sworn to SWAT and I shall always be loyal to SWAT."
Rage: "So why are you here in JROK."
Vampira: "We have an offer for you to wrestle."
Rage: "We're committed to helping our sister in JROK."
Fury: "So we can't go anywhere else at the moment."
Vampira: "Don't worry we're inviting you to be part of the XHF Rumble."
Rage: "You know what happened when we were last together in promotion."
Psychotic Goth: "That was then and this is now."
Fury: "That's up to our manager to decide.)
(The door opens and Terminatrix enters an draws her weapon.)
Terminatrix: "Step away from my team....NOW!"
Fury: "Terminatrix these are old allies of ours when we were starting out."
Terminatrix: "Identify yourselves."
Vampira: "My name is Vampira and this is Psychotic Goth."
(Terminatrix pulls out a device and scans them before turning it off and putting it away and lowers her weapon.)
Terminatrix: "Present SWAT World heavyweight Champion and wife and valet respectively. What is your business with Rage and Fury."
Rage: "They're offering us a chance to be in the XHF Rumble."
Termnatrix: "I know of it since Commandrix and I lead The Dark Stars in a four way but we came up short and during that time we were disrespected but now we have a chance to avenge ourselves. SoI accept your offer to be part of the XHF Rumble for revenge."
Rage: "Who dared to dishonor you Terminatrix."
Terminatrix: "The AWF and we haven't forgotten them since."
Psychotic Goth: "All the more reason to enter since everyone's going to have a grudge to settle."
Rage and Fury and Termnatrix talk itover between themselves noddingin agreement."
Terminatrix: "Very well Rage and Fury are in."
Vampira: "As is Psychotic Goth."
Psychotic Goth: "As I am also in the XHF Rumble. Looks like old times."
Rage: "Just this time and we go our separate ways."
Psychotic Goth: "I wouldn't have it any other way."
(They leave Rage and Fury as the scene slowly fades to black.)

The camera opens up on a dimly lit, green-topped poker table. Smoke billows gently into frame from the darkness. A glowing red ember on the end of a cigarette can be seen growing, then slowly fading back into nothing.
A hand reaches out and shoves a stack of poker chips forward, toppling them over towards the camera.
Deco leans into frame, taking another drag on her cigarette and spitting it out towards the camera. A wild smirk grows slowly at first, then expands across her face into a full-on grin. She leans in close.
Deco: I'm all in.
The grin grows into a roiling laugh as Deco sits back in her chair and the camera fades out.

Per Ascendancy XI:
We cut to the parking lot entrance, where the X*Crown Champion, Dylan Black has just entered the building ahead of his defence against Adrien Cochrane. He’s heading towards the locker rooms in order to make his final preparations, but stops as a voice catches his attention.
Arnold: You know if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you liked it around these parts.
Black turns, he’d almost passed Rob Arnold without having to interact, Rob was clearly not letting him get in the building so easily. Arnold, who was flanked by Riley Richards, smiled at the champion, who offered a smirk in return.
Black: You know, if you just wanted a closer look at the title I took away from you, all you had to do was ask, there’s no need for the cryptic greetings.
Arnold: Who said I was being cryptic? I think you’d be better suited around here. Japan is so far away, Japan…well, it’s just not Next Level, is it?
Black doesn’t rise to the baiting.
Arnold: Just thought it would be something to think about.
He winks, and a brought grin runs over his face.
Black: Come on Robbie, if this is your weak attempt at losing to me once again, all you have to do is ask. You know this. If you're feeling inspired for #3, you can enter the Rumble, but for now you’ll have to excuse me, I’ve got a title to defend. Don’t worry, I know where I’m going.
Black starts to turn away but Arnold has something else to say, which stops the X*Crown Champion in his tracks.
Arnold: I’m glad you brought that up, the Rumble. I’ve just come back from speaking to BB Gunn, he wanted confirmation of The Academy’s involvement at the Rumble.
Black: And there I was thinking that I’d retired you.
Black stifles a laugh.
Arnold: Retired me? Now Dylan I didn’t think you were a fantasist!
Dylan ignores this.
Black: Well I hope you survive long enough so I can one up you once again. Maybe after the third time you'll seek out a real retirement facility. Anywho, I’ll see you at the Rumble Rob-
Arnold: Oh, I’m not entering. I’m leaving your embarrassment up to Riley Richards.
Black: You are?
Richards: I am?!
Arnold: Yes, you are.
Arnold glares at Richards to shut up, before smirking at Dylan, slowly walking up to him to the point where they’re almost face to face.
Arnold: I’ll have my hands on the X*Crown again, don’t you worry, but it’ll be when you, or anybody else for that matter, least expects it.
Rob looks like he’s going to tap the title that’s resting on Dylan’s shoulder, but stops short, and places his hand back down by his side.
Arnold: In the meantime, think about it…Dylan Black, he’s always been Next Level…right?
Dylan almost looks like he's pondering it...after all, he came very close to signing with [REDACTED]. Choosing to not pleasure Rob with rebuttal, he instead turns to Riley Richards.
Black: I’ll see you at the Rumble then, kid. Now, I really have to get ready, you know what it’s like mate…well, you did.
Black smugly walks past Arnold and out of shot. Riley walks up to the leader of The Academy, standing in the space vacated by Dylan.
Richards: Seriously? I’m in the Rumble, Mr Arnold?
Arnold, who’s head had been turned to watch Black as he departs, spun his head back and glared at the young Bristolian. Richards decides that perhaps now isn’t the time, and we cut back to ringside.

"Hello, people of the XHF Network. You don't know me... but you soon will. In fact, allow me to just go ahead and introduce myself. My name is Dominic Sanders. I am recently retired in this business. I really have no real reason to be here, but there is something about this Rumble that just... it brings me in. When I heard about this match from my dear friend Carlos Ruiz... I just HAD to insert myself. Easy, Greg Adkins... that is not a sexual comment. No, I don't throw my name in the proverbial hat just to see if I can still hack it. I do it because I know and I believe that I can beat each and every fucking one of you. Most of you have no idea what I bring to the table; some of you do, right Maverick? You know that I am a former Champion of many colors in this business. Will I win this Rumble match? Who knows. But you can bet your ass that I will do whatever it is that I can to become the top dog in your little yard. And when I come into your house and take whatever it is that you believe is yours... you will understand that I am the best there is in wrestling today. YOU... can bet on that." Please remove my entry. Thanks.

Kicking a door in towards the camera, the classic Batman "WHAM" hits the screen as the fully attired Canadian Nightmare steps through the door way.
Jesse Jamester: Who said Rumble?
The door hangs on the hinges, teetering as Jesse Jamester steps out, dressed in his black leather demonic trench coat, horns angling off the end of the shoulders, his black lizard mask with a green cut down the eye. Hair a fucking mess, his beard hanging from the bottom of the mask, his eyes taking all the attention of viewers at home.
Jesse Jamester: The Syndicate rides, yes, you heard that fucking right! I saw Eric Dane pop up and enter himself. While I can't be there for my brother right now; as I'm getting ready to stomp the holy hell out of Anthony Caffrey over at Fireside, I'm officially entering the Rumble!
The camera zooms in, catching Jesse's twisted mask as he cocks his head to emphasize the seriousness.
Jesse Jamester: XHF fans, hide your kids, this Nightmare is just beginning!
Grabbing the door to shut it, Jesse swings the door behind him as he walks out of the scene. The door attempts to shut and crashes off the hinges, before flopping on the floor.

(A heap of coats is strewn on top of a ratty sofa, snoring loudly. Suddenly, there is a loud 'pin' and a cellphone on a nearby coffee table vibrates. The heap of blankets sits up, revealing fireside's resident party machine, Vodka Fizz, who looks as if he he was assaulted by juggalos, judging by the haphazard clown face that appears to be painted on his with house paint. He snatches at his phone, squinting at it.)
VODDY: What? Who the fuck is Mongo?
Voddy plays the video file he was sent, watching it for a moment, until a smile appears on his face.
VODDY: X-Crown rumble, eh? I wonder how many people'd be pissed off if I won? Seems like it might be a good time.
Vodka begins poking and swiping at his phone, clearly typing a response. That done, he shuts off his phone and tosses it offscreen with a crash before flopping back on the sofa.)

A sarcophagus stands in a spotlight.
A rumble match. Unlimited entrants. Randomized entry. The champion enters last.
Cracks begin to form in the stone cocoon.
At stake, the richest prize in the XHF Network.
The cracks lengthen, spiderwebbing the stonework.
The odds of success would seem beyond the reach of any man...
The cracks cease, seemingly with nowhere left to spread to. For a moment all is silent.
But what about a god?
The sarcophagus explodes apart in a shower of masonry, leaving the smirking form of FIRESIDE's own Misha Constantine standing in the spotlight.
The XHF Rumble 2021, I take my throne.
