Tommy: Hello everyone and welcome to XHF Pyro. We're in Oregon and I'm sitting next to the number one contender for the United States Championship, Ishnari!
Ishnari: Numba one baby!
Tommy: Sanders is back, Reeshi we're not sure of, last we heard, still in Detroit. But that doesn't matter we got an action filled night for you, let's get to it!
Ishnari: We've got our opener as...aw man!
The lights go out and blue strobe lighting fills the arena. The begging of Stinkfist by Tool begins to play, the start of the song with the rattiling begins quietly, and slowly gets louder and then the song hits in.
Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.
Winter Callous steps through the curtains with his arms raised in the air, and his head looking down to the ground. As he gets to the centre of the ramp, he brings his arms down and then looks out into the crowd. He slowly walks towards the ring, as Stinkfist by Tool keeps playing.
Constant over stimu-lation numbs me
and I wouldn't have
It any other way.
Winter Callous reaches ringside and then walks around the edge of the ring, slapping hands with some of the fans on the front row, and then slides under the bottom rope at the back of the ring. He quickly stands up and jumps up a turnbuckle, where he holds his arms up once more, shouting out into the cheering crowd. Winter Callous jumps back down and walks over to some ropes, where he awaits the match to begin.
Ishnari: No matter what some may say, this is the guy in the match with the pressure on him.
As the crowd's faint cheers are echoing in the building, lights flash out, as the Xtreme tron has a face go across it, covered behind ice
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
"Going Under" is heard in the background of the music, as an ice type color flashes around the arena, and the entire crowd gets off there feet cheering
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm going under
The fans cheer's going off the scale, as the lights fade out, and showing Tara on the Xtreme Tron hitting the Ice Age on a mystery person in a different fed
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Tara comes out from behind the curtains, her arms raised in the air, as she brushes her hair back with her hand, she lifts her right arm in the air, with 2 fingers up, as ice begins falling down, right as she lowers her arm
Blurring and Stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowing in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
Tara walks over to the barricade, reaching her hands out at the fans, high-fiving them, as she continues down to the ring, with a sparkle in her eye, as she looks inside the ring, at the announcer and referee, still listening to the cheer's from the crowd
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under
She slides into the ring, as the crowd explodes with a huge cheer, as she walks over to the middle of inbetween 2 turnbuckles, and raises her arms in the air, and hangs over the ropes a bit, as she pulls herself back in. The guitar riff's from the PA are blasting out, as the crowd cheer's for her,
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
She now steps on the turnbuckle raising her right arm in the air, as the left helps her keep balance, and the music begins fading to an end, as Tara now waits for the match to get started.
Tommy: That was one hell of a long entrance, that's even longer then Rage's! And she's a woman!
Ishnari: Christ!
XHF Phoenix Championship
Winter Callous (c) vs Tara
Winter Callous is standing in the ring, seemingly laughing at himself or Tara, the fact that he's facing a woman. Winter Callous goes for a grapple in the middle of the ring and the two lock up. Tara takes him down with an arm drag. Callous getting up looking a little confused over what just happened, maybe taking Tara a little lightly. He tries it again and this Tara comes around with a waistlock. She runs Callous into the ropes and rolls him up, Callous kicking out after two, sending Tara up into the ropes. She turns around and bounces off the ropes, a wheel kick takes down the champion. Winter Callous is reeling as he gets back up and stumbles into the ropes. Tara comes foreward once again, this time Callous ducks and lifts her over the top rope. She grabs hold of the rope, turns herself around and lands on the apron. Winter turns around, Tara grabs him by the back of the head and drops off the apron, the head of Winter thrashing against the top, sending him back to the mat, clutching his throat.
Ishnari: Callous said before this match that he would kick out of anything Tara could put him through. We'll see if he's correct.
Tommy: Looks like we might get the chance to see if he's correct real early too. Either she's come out with some fire or he has taken her way too lightly here
Ishnari: Callous isn't concentrating at all. I wonder what could be distracting him?
Tommy: ....I vote chest
Ishnari: Exactly. All the pressure is on Winter Callous.
Tara vaults hereself over the top back into the ring, a front flip, landing right across the chest of Winter Callous! She rolls through and right into the cover, 1...2..Winter kicks out! Tara picks him up and leans him in the corner and begins with some knife edge chops followed by some kicks into the ribs of Winter Callous. Callous is taking it all in until he is able to snatch up the leg of Tara. Tara turns and flips through flailing her free foot up looking to strike just under the chin of Winter Callous but he lets go of the leg and turns his head to the side, she misses and lands flat on her face! Tara tasing the mat gets to her knees holding her mouth as Winter leaps up onto the middle turnbuckle. Tara gets to her feet and Winter Callous comes off the turnbuckle connecting with a bulldog to Tara!
Tommy: The works of a champion, always has that ability to bounce back nicely
Ishnari: And with one move the match has turned.
Winter Callous gets up and stares down at the woman and throws his hands out in front of him as though saying that's it. Tara is crawling back to her feet and Winter Callous sets her up in front of him. He taunts the crowd before he picks her up and comes through with the Santa Clause! Winter hooks the leg, 1...2...Tara still kicks out! She's hanging in there against the Phoenix Champion and Winter Callous can't bellieve it, he's up in the face of the referee and has him backed into the corner. He turns in frustration and receives a bicycle kick to the face for his troubles! Winter Callous falls back and Tara drags him to the middle of the ring. She then begins to climb the turnbuckle calling out to the fans before she leaps. She comes off with a moonsault to Winter Callous, but he gets the knees up!
Ishnari: Callous shouldn't be so frustrated that two hits coulnd't win him the match.
Tara rolls right off of him and onto her back, her feet flailing and she clutches her stomach in pain. Winter Callous gets up, grabs her feet and turns her over, Cold Texas locked in! As he arches back, pulling on both the lower back and stomach area of Tara, she has no choice but to tap out!
Winner and still Phoenix Champion: Winter Callous
Ishnari: And three moves seals it!
Tommy: That a quick, yet intense match to kick us off here tonight!
Ishnari: Another championship on the line coming up.
Callous keeps the hold locked in until William Spencer comes down the ramp, he's got a singapore cane in hand and cracks it over the head of Winter Callous getting him to release the hold! Spencer looks fired up when the screen suddenly turns on revealing Stevo.
Pysko Stevo: Woah, woah, buddy. We can't have people running around with Singapore canes and interrupting matches or starting after matches, that might be how we operate on Rhein's watch but Rhein isn't here tonight. Tonight is myself, Congo's and Mr.X's show, it's Congo. Corps.'s show. At Gastro, Winter Callous will defend his title once more as a warm up before Triple X. Winter Callous will be defending that title against Shadow Dragon.
Pop from the crowd
Stevo: But William, before you get all high and mighty over how you've busted your ass off for this title for god knows how long, there is something in it for you. If you can control yourself, and you can stay out of this match at Gasro then this little one on one match set for Triple X, will be made a triple threat match in which it will be Winter Callous vs William Spencer vs the runner up of that battle royal taking place at Eve of Xtreme. You understand me William? All you have to do is control yourself, not get involved in the match at Gastro, after the match, before the match, whatever, just get your little nose out of his business and you will get your Phoenix Title shot at Triple X. The choice is yours and we'll all be patiently waiting for that answer at Gastro.
Screen fades as Spencer seems to have calmed down at this point, realizing his shot it at stake as he picks up his cane and exits the ring.
Ishnari: We shouldn't need any positive reinforcment like that to stop attacks after matches.
Tommy: We have to start somewhere to get these people under control
Ishnari: I want to know what started them all off in the first place.
Tommy: Good question
The beginning of Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson slowly echos through the arena, and green and blue lights fill the top of the ramp. After about 10 second the guitar kicks in, and The Xtreme Warrior jogs through the curtains, his clothes and body paint glowing in the light. He starts to jog and dance on the spot, touching the floor with his hands almost crawling, half the crowd cheering wildly to the entrance as the other half boo at his heelish attitude. The Xtreme Warrior then burst into a slow run, and makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with some of the fans on the way down. Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson still playing loudly.
Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
The Xtreme Warrior quickly slides in the ring, where he jumps up a turnbuckle and brings his arms up in the air. He stays there for a couple of seconds, and then jumps down and runs to the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring, where he taunts the crowd again. He then jumps down, and starts to stretch at some ropes, and waits for the match to begin.
Ishnari: Can Xtreme Warrior do an Ishnari?
Tommy: Maybe Ishnari did an Xtreme Warrior
Ishnari: Not yet he hasn't.
Tommy: No, but soon. He's my pick to win it!
My World hits as Elizabeth walks out, she stops at the stage and waits. The lights go out and on the XtremeTron appears in flaming letters "THE NEW FALLEN ANGEL HAS ARRIVED TO PASS JUDGEMENT OVER THE UNJUDGED" A lightning bolt then hits the top of the stage and I Am blasts over the PA and Apollyon walks out wearing a black towel over his head and his XHR Title, he puts his arms around the lovely and ever beautiful Elizabeth and kisses her, they then make there way to the ring where Elizabeth takes the XHR Title off from around Apollyons waist and holds it high in the air while Apollyon stops at the top of the steps, he raises his arms and the lights come back on, he then climbs through the ropes and gets down on one knee, he raises one arm in the air (Like Taker used to do) as Elizabeth stands behind him holding up the retired XHR Title as flames shoot out of the four turnbuckle posts.
Ishnari: Hey Appy, Tommy says you're going down.
Tommy: Oh, why don't you say it a little louder Ish, I don't think he heard you
Ishnari: You only have to ask darling.
Tommy:...please don't. At least let me live until after Triple X
Ishnari: Seems like a fair deal.
European Title Match
Apollyon vs. Xtreme Warrior
The match starts with Xtreme Warrior running right to Apollyon and delivers a few forearm shots to the side of Apollyons head. Apollyon is knocked back, and as Xtreme Warrior charges again, Apollyon goes for a clothesline, but its ducked. Apollyon turns around and grabs a kick from the Warrior. XW then goes for an enziguri, but Apollyon ducks the free leg and holds onto the other. XW lands on his hands and turns himself back over before Apollyon can react. XW kicks Apollyon in the side of the head and gets his other leg free. XW then does a kick-up, but as soon as hes standing, Apollyon delivers a clothesline.
Tommy: Apollyon asserting himself physically in a big way early on
Ishnari: Considering his size he should be able to assert himself better than using clotheslines
Tommy: It's still early Ish
Apollyon kicks the Xtreme one while hes down, until XW rolls out of the ring. XW composes himself, then walks up the steps and gets back in the ring. Both men lock up in the middle of the ring, and Apollyon pushes XW back, showing his superior strength. XW gets up, then both men charge the center of the ring to lock up again, but XW slides down and gets Apollyon in a drop toe hold. Apollyon gets up and is met with a dropkick from Warrior. Apollyon is sent backwards into the ropes, and on his way back XW runs at him and delivers a head scissors sending Apollyon to the outside upon finish.
Ishnari: Apollyon is slow and it is showing.
Tommy: Winter Callous is fast and it is showing
Apollyon now gets up and paces around composing himself. As he does so, XW runs at him and flies over the top rope with a Foreshadow, but Apollyon catches him. Apollyon then rams XWs back into the ring post. Apollyon doesnt drop him, walks in a small circle, and rams XWs back into the post again, still not letting go. He then turns around and delivers a powerslam on that thin padding outside. Now the ref has gotten to an 11 count, Apollyon gets up and starts stomping on XW. Elizabeth comes over and reminds Apollyon of the refs count. Apollyon picks up XW by the hair and throws him into the ring at 16. Apollyon rolls in and picks up XW. He picks up XW, lifts him up from the front, and delivers the Bloody Vengeance. Apollyon hooks the leg, 1, 2, kickout. Apollyon picks up Warrior again, puts his arm around XWs throat, lifts him in the air, but XW kicks Apollyon in the stomach and delivers a DDT. XW and Apollyon get up about the same time, Apollyons back facing XW, XW grabs him and delivers the Black Pastel.
Tommy: Hmm...Black Pastel...time for me to draw a picture!
XW quickly moves into a pin, hooking the leg, 1, 2, kickout. XW gets up, picks Apollyon up by the head, and hooks him up in a full nelson position. He then delivers the full nelson spin DDT. XW stomps away on Apollyon, then picks Apollyon up and kicks him in the gut. With Apollyon hunched over, XW goes up to the second turnbuckle, and dives off trying to deliver the Broken Words, but Apollyon moves. Apollyon awaits XW to get up, then delivers the Destroyer. He picks Warrior up by his arm, wrenches it, then walks up the turnbuckle, and delivers the Old School. Apollyon signals that its over and sets XW up between his legs. He lifts XW up, but the Darkside Bomb is reversed into a hurricanrana. XW grabs the legs, 1, 2, kickout.
Tommy: Oh! He was so close!
Ishnari: I'm surprised that he could take Apollyon down using only his ow body weight like that.
Tommy: I was surprised when you german suplex Mr. X, myself
Ishnari: Yeah - it doesn't make a lick of sense!
XW runs to the closest turnbuckle and climbs up. As he does so, Apollyon gets up and runs to and up the turnbuckle. He locks XW up for the Apollyon Driver, but XW punches Apollyon in the ribs with his free arm. Apollyon lets go and is teetering from falling. XW then delivers a vicious forearm right to Apollyons forehead, sending him off the turnbuckle. XW then stands up and quickly jumps off delivering the Forecast. XW stays on top for the cover. 1, 2, 3.
Winner and still European champion: The Xtreme Warrior
Tommy: And he does it! Xtreme Warrior retains the title!
Ishnari: That match was hell to call with all those renamed names!

"Ride Of Your Life" by Neurotica kicks up.
"Fall into a carousel of unimagined flight
Ripping round the corners shrieking, sometimes peeking light
Drown yourselves in lakes of volume
Drown yourselves in the sound
Turn it up to match your voyage
Ten is restricting, eleven takes you on a ride
The ride of your life
On the ride
The ride of your life"
Video clips of the "new" Real Deal of 2002 is shown, with clips such as the Tag Team Turmoil that took place at Xtreme Xmas, and The Real Deal's cage match with the Chris and Chris Connection. Charlie Velez is the focus of most of these clips, as they show him during his entrance, taunting the crowd.
"I always ask for more than is needed
I'm reaching down while I'm high
Puncture the air with verbal affairs
A chance to be smooth on the climb
I let it fly like a kite in the warm winded sky
Not sure how to land
But when I do hope my tunes are still true
May they scream loud to you
Wanna take you all on a ride
The ride of your life
On a ride
The ride of your life
Of your LIFE!!!"
Suddenly, the song is cut off and the screen fades to black. After a brief moment, breathing is heard, and after each breath the lights begin to come on, to show the ring from the entrance ramp, in black and white. The breathing gets harder and harder, when suddenly a man is in the center of the ring, wearing a leather jacket and street clothes. The screen turns to black with white letters that reads
"The Past, The Present
The Future
Charlie Velez
Fade out.
As the stage is clear and the crowd is silent."Adrenaline" is played through the arena, as a man Wearing a XHF T-shirt and leather vest heads out.He's styling with his Black striped leather pants but has a brightly coloured lucha mask that doesn't really fit with the rest of his attire as the fans chant the name of brawler.As brawler steps to look at the people, he knows he definetly has them. He goes through the ropes to get in the ring and then raises his arms in the air.Talking outoud and to himself, but the fans love it, as they cheer him on
Fuel by metallica hits. flames begin to flow down the asile, an expolsion goes off ontop of the ramp as Smash walks out to the ring.
Hardcore Rules
Brawler vs Smash
The two lock up in the middle of the ring with Brawler gaining the size advantage, backing Smash up into the corner. He quickly drives a few knees into the stomach area to gain an early advantage on him in that corner. As Smash gets his hands up to block the right hands Brawler sends a few more knees into the stomach of Smash. Brawler grabs Smash by the back of the head and drags him out of the corner, he then turns and with a sudden thrust tosses Smash just over the middle turnbuckle and shoulder first into the steel ringpost! The ring actually moves slightly as Brawler picks the feet up of Smash and dumps him the rest of the way to the outside.
Tommy: Brawler showing some prominance here in the hardcore division
Smash shakes it off, looking for that revenge for the defeat he suffered on Gastro as he strikes with a sudden low blow to Brawler. He grabs him by the back of the head and tosses him into the steel steps! The steps explode from in front of him and strike the barricade as Brawler lay in the mess. Smash drops to one knee grabbing the shoulder briefly before popping back to his feet. Smash picks up Brawler and leans him against the barricade where he drives the shoulders into the stomach area of Brawler! Smahs then picks up Brawler from that very position, turns and drives him into the ring apron! But he's not done there. He picks him up from that very position and drives him back first into the steel post! That's when Smash finally decides to drop Brawler and let him fall to the floor.
Tommy: Smash getting his revenge from last week on this rookie, Brawler!
Smash walks around to the other side of the ring and grabs the time keepers chair, tossing it into the ring. He then walks back around to grab the Brawler but as he does, Brawler turns on the fire extinguisher, blinding Smash! Smash is stumbling about, spinning around not sure where he is, he can't see a thing until he hits the floor courtesy of Brawler driving that fire extinguisher right into the forehead of Smash! Smash appears as though he has been busted open at the hands of Brawler here as Brawler drops to a knee this time, as he uses the fire extinguisher for support before dropping it and rolling Smash back into the ring.
Tommy: Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to the ring we go *whistles the tune* hi ho, hi ho, hi ho...
Smash is up to his knees as Brawler picks him up the rest of the way he looks ready to finish him off. He picks him up onto his shoulders in a reverse DVD position and looks ready to drop him with Hammered but Smash is able to break free. A kick to the gut from Smash gives him just enough time to pick up the chair and is bends in half right over the skull of Brawler! Brawler is out cold but to be certain of the win Smash clibms to the top rope and comes off with huge elbow drop right into the chest of the Brawler! The cover. 1...2...3!
Winner: Smash
Tommy: And Smash gets his revenge!
Smash begins to celebrate the win but suddenly stops and shakes his head. He points to Brawler and then motions that it's time for the mask to come off. Smahs sits Brawler up and begins to untie it at the back, the mask is ready to come off and Brawler realizes it, he's trying to hold it back on but Smash strikes with some right hands to Brawler that gives him enough time to rip the mask off! He holds it in the air and suddenly falls back in complete shock a sitting position in the corner. The man stands up showing himself...it's Hardcore Harry!
Tommy: Is someone screwin around with the special effects because right now there is a dead man in the ring
Ishnari: Thank God it wasn't a cremation.
Harry goes over and gets a mic, with Smash still in the ring shocked like hell.It seems though he's thinking of something
: well, it's me, Hardcore Harry.Back from the dead, no no no, you see back for the most excellent plan ever.I bet you all want to know how and WHY.Well your going to find out why, so get a beer and listen.Last week on gastro after getting the hardcore title back.I ran to the back and got in my car, with bags packed already.Head to my hotel and as I get in my Luxary ripoff sweet, with no porn.I hear a rustle at my door.Very wearly I open the door with that cheap ass chain which fell off I might add.This fans comes in my room and busts me over the head with a glass bottle.Blood everywhere, as I feel the glass sticking in my head.I just fall over and lose conciousness.Out like a light, as I awoke 2 hours later.I see my best friend Pyro leaning over me.Fixing the gash in my head, telling me if I wasn't here i would have bleed to death.Death, what a wonderful word as I stroke up an Idea.An idea so smart, that any rich man could pull off. Well to fake the sympathy, by the doctors off, a great FX guy, the police, that detective to question the shit out of mueller, and sadly my family was even for the plan.My family hated the idea, but I swore it to them it was for the better.I FAKED MY DEATH, I paid 100,000 to do this, just to mess with the heads of all you people.To mess with the heads of fellow wrestlers and mess with the people who acted as my friends. Just to see who was really sorry for me.Now some of them I will let slide, but two count them two I will never forget. You might be wondering WHY, the reason because I talentless cripple of a commish makes this belt 24/7.Which means I can never sleep and never drink.Do you know how it would feel to never drink without hoping some guy like Stranglove would screw you, two ways.No, you don't know how, so I had to do it.I told everyone when I won this title, I would do anything to keep it.ANYTHING, even if it broke a few hearts backstage at XHF.I did it, so I could be known as least likely to trust.
crowd boos and yells harry sucks.Harry just laughs
: I could careless, but as I was sitting on my couch.Watching this go on, I had my regrets of doing this, as I seen wrestlers break down and thank me.I knew I did something wrong.As I thought about that, it brought a smile to my face, not in a sad way.No it was in a sick and sadistic happy way, I was happy again.You know what, I would do it again just to fu(beep) you people up...
harry is about to leave, but goes back in the ring
: one more thing, Rat Bastard and James Mueller you are the two I was talking about.You pissed me off as I sat and watched from the funeral home.You spit on me Rat, well let's just say I wouldn't be spitting on you next time I meet up with you.You James Mueller, you...you.....Are going to pay for your deeds against me.You put your hands on my father, you harrassed my wife and kids.Now you will be the one, who is going to be harrassed for the rest of your life.I set this up not knowing we get the likes of a Rat Bastard and James Mueller, so I apologize to my family.That is starting tonight....Starting tonight, Rat Bastard and James Mueller will be on code red alert.Which means whenever I see them, they will be laid out...Now I know you all hate my guts and will never be on my side again, but still the next few weeks will be the time you pay attention to me again.I will not stop until those two get what they have coming to them. As for this nifty Hardcore Title, I will continue to rain supreme in that category.No more running, I got my rest, now it time for everyone else to get me at my best...
Ishnari: Can I get an amen to that?
Tommy: Amen!
Harry stands in the ring, with the whole arena shocked at the sick plan, but amazed at the remarks harry made concerning Rat and James Mueller. Smash still down in the corner in complete shock, his mouth is dropped right open when suddenly he shakes his head as though he's snapped out of it and he reaches to the outside where that fire extinguisher lay. Smash picks up and strikes Harry in the back of the head, he rolls him over, 1...2..3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Smash
Ishnari: That's ruined the welcome back party.
Tommy: I'd say so, but talk about seizing the opportunity. And how ironic coming right after Harry said everyone would deal with him at his best...he sure went down pretty easy
Ishnari: Hey Harry! Tommy says you go down pretty easy!
Tommy: Hey, I thought we had a deal Ish! After Triple X! After!
Ishnari: Apollyon, now Harry? Are you going to let me speak to anyone?
Tommy: Sure, you can talk to....No
Ishnari: ... ...
Tommy: Good boy Ish, have a cookie
Ishnari: ... ...
Xtreme Warrior is shown in his locker room after his hard fought victory over Apollyon when his door opens.
Intern: Mr. Warrior, you have a phone call.
XW gets up, walks out the room and down the hall to a pay phone on the wall. The camera is close enough to barely hear the phone.
Guy on phone: *In a muffled voice* watch your back. *Then the dial tone starts. *
XW looks at the phone in confusion, then hangs it up. As soon as he turns around he gets hit over the head with a chair. The camera moves over to see Mortis standing over the fallen champion holding the chair. Mortis throws the chair down and then walks off.
Tommy: uhhh....
Ishnari: What's with the use of a chair as a weapon? They're backstage! He had to come all the way from the arena to get one!
*A ring master stands on a stage. There, behind him, total chaos in a circus setting. Funky music can be heard, as midgets and animals playing around. A man swollows a sword down his throat. Another man blows huge flames into the air. A Big thunderous voice can be heard from the big man on the center stage... making an announcement...
"Step Right up... Step right up Everyone..
Weither you're good or bad... Happy or Sad...
Weither you are an emotional wreck...
or a Blissful Speck in this blackhole of an existence... we call life.
Step right up and witness something you will be soon to never forget...
Feast your eyes on the most furocious fighter that has ever been created...
Built for you by the creator of life and death...
Built for you for you to fulfill the pleasures of pain and suffering...
Step right up... and take a look at the Future... Take a look at The Present...
Take a look.... at James Mueller..."
*White pyros shoot up from the stage and white spotlights cycles around the darkened arena. "Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust begins to play over the speaker system. The fans get to their feet and boo heavily, as they await James Mueller to appear. In unison, the spotlights all center to the center of the stage. There with his back turned to the crowd is James Mueller, with his wrists in handcuffs. The crowd boos even louder as more pyros explode around the Xtreme Tron. James spins around and faces the crowd, and recieves even more boos. He poses for the crowd still in his shackles, and Jessica walks out, and joins James at his side. Two Salem, Oregon cops walk out as well, with emotionless expressions on their pale faes. They walk down the rampway, towards the ring together. James runs up the steps, and walks on the apron. He presses his back against the ropes, and looks out into the crowd. He smirks and nods his head, and then climbs into the ring with help from Jess. He walks over to the ropes, and then sits on the middle rope. Jessica bends over, and walks through the ropes, with James grinning. Aaron Alexander appears from the entranceway and begins to walk down to the same tune as Mueller walks over to one of the turnbuckles, but instead of raising his arms, his wrists are still handcuffed. James jumps back off the turnbuckle, and lands cleanly on his feet. He then does a little jig in the ring, and the two cops enter the ring. They free James from his handcuffs, and they leave the ring. They stand out at ringside, making sure James doesnt do anything drastic or more then what he is pardoned to do. James rubs his wrists, and then props up against a turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin...
Ishnari: Here comes Jim!
Tommy: And Aaron!
Ishnari: Aaron and Jim in action coming up.
Slow square dance tune comes over the speakers as Decoy steps out holding a black, New York Yankees baseball cap in his hands and is wearing the new, silver and white, open, Toronto Blue Jays jersey. He spins around moving out onto the top of the stage as though almost square dancing with himself. The music picks up and Decoy puts the hat on backwards. He nods his head to the music (Square Dance by Eminem) and folds his arms over his chest, trying to look cool as he walks out down the ramp and into the ring.
The lights go to a dim as the voice of 50 Cent can be heard over the speakers.
If I can't do well, homey, it can't be done
Now I'ma let the champagne bottle pop
I'ma take it to the top
Fo sho I'ma make it hot, baby (baby)
With that pyro explosions go off at opposite ends of the ramp and "If I Can't" by 50 Cent hits the speakers. As the pyro leans over on the ramp, through the smoke walks Platinum with. He stands just in front of the action where he looks down at his waist. He jumps up and down a moment before charging off towards the ring. He reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He jumps onto the far turnbuckle and shows of his platinum chain with "P" around the neck to the still booing fans. He then jumps down, giving the platinum "P" to the timekeeper and jumps up and down in the corner getting ready for his match.
Ishnari: Your view?
Tommy: Go Platipus!

Decoy gets tagged-in, as he steps through the ropes, and Platinum holds Aaron in the corner, to make sure he does not go anywhere, as Decoy begins to kick him in the mid-section, multiple times.

James follows out, with Platinum coming to Decoy's aid. James grabs Platinum by the head, and drags it over to the barricade, bouncing it off, as Platinum hits the mat.

James drags Decoy to his feet and attempts to do an irish-whip, but Decoy reverses, as James goes off the ropes, and hits the Cruise Missile, and pins Decoy 1...2...Platinum makes the save
Tommy: Quick thinking by Platinum, that Cruise Missile is enough to break somebody in half
Ishnari: Haven't you ever played rugby before?
Tommy: No, lot of hockey tho...lot of hockey
Ishnari: Then you don't know what it's like to be hit by the Cruise Missile
Platinum is forced out of the ring, as Aaron gets in the ring, and begins pummeling Decoy, as James lifts his arms in the air, slapping them together, then getting on the apron. Aaron backs up to the ropes, and awaits for Decoy to get to his feet. As he is kneeling on the mat, Aaron hits the Shineing Wizard, and then dashes over to Platinum, hitting a clothesline, sending him off the apron, and about to hit a backflip moonsault on Decoy, as he brings his knee's up, and Aaron hits the knee's of Decoy. Decoy begins strugging to get over to the apron, where Platinum is reaching up to get back on the apron. Aaron tries to stop him, grabbing the foot. Decoy hits an Enziguri, and reaches over, tagging-in Platinum.

The referee gets to 7, as Aaron tosses Decoy into the barricade, and slides in the ring. As Aaron is getting ready to celebrate the victory, Decoy slides in the ring, and tosses Aaron over the ropes, and the referee has to begin the count over. Decoy collapses in the ring, as Platinum pulls himself back on the otherside of the barricade. Aaron, and Platinum both get inside the ring, and both being tired, exchange right blows, until Aaron reverses the punch of Platinum, and begins to push him to the ropes, and then starts with chops. Aaron whips him across the ring, and with a rush of adrenaline, Platinum jumps on the top, and hits Air Time, pinning Aaron 1...2...James barely makes the save!
Tommy: Holy shit! Did you see the height he got on that!
Ishnari: Some big moves being hit now.
Platinum let's out a sigh, and beginning to get frustrated, Aaron, sits in his turnbuckle, and waits for James to get on the apron. As James does, Aaron instantly tags-in James, with Decoy now beginning to get on his turnbuckle. Aaron rolls outside of the ring, and as Platinum is about to tag-out, Aaron pulls Decoy off the apron, and James grabs Platinum. Spinning him around, he hits The Pain Killer, as the crowd cheer's with anticipation, and James swings his arm over, just going over Platinum 1...2...Platinum barely gets his shoulder up! James looks at the referee, with disbelief, as the crowd begins getting behind Platinum, giving him the momentum. James about to hit another Pain Killer, as Decoy slides in the ring quickly, hitting The Wall, and rolling out of the ring. Platinum hooks the leg of James, pinning 1...2...Aaron pulls the referee out of the ring, in a desperation.
Ishnari: This is becoming one tough, hot match with the final Triple X Breakthrough Tag Tournament semi final place on the line!
Tommy: Both teams want it, but only one can have it!
The referee begins arguing with Aaron, saying if he does it again, they will be disqualified. James gets to his feet, and reaches over the ropes, grabbing Decoy by the hair. Pulling him onto the apron, he knee's him in the mid-section, and tosses him off, crashing head first into the barricade. Platinum looks at James and is about to go for a dropkick, until James catches him with a powerbomb, and grabs him again, kicking him in the mid-section, and hits The New Shit, pinning Platinum again, in the center of the ring 1...2...3!!!
Winners: Aaron Alexander and James Mueller
Tommy: Aaron and James are moving on to the semis!
Ishnari: Alexander and Mueller, the Hurriboys, Quake and Styler and Apollyon with Spencer shall be meeting each other in the next round. As for who will meet who exactly, nobody quite knows yet.
Tommy: It's Rhein's tournament, I'm sure he'll tell us but as we found out earlier from Stevo he's not here to tell us
Ishnari: I guess all they can do now is celebrate.
The two begin to celebrate when Mueller suddenly nods to Aaron. Aaron nods back and Mueller slides to the outside of the ring but suddenly hops over the barricade and takes off! The police put the cuffs away and some begin to take off after her him while others run to the back looking to cut him off, James Mueller is getting away!
Ishnari: Like they didn't see that one coming.
Tommy: Obviously not, because it's working
The arena goes dark, the fans can be heard muttering about who is coming out, and the watchers are caught by surprise when "Rock Is Dead (XHF mix)" by Marilyn Manson hits and a curtain of red pyro falls from the ceiling and continues to shower down as the song plays, when the theme slows the pyro comes to a halt and "Primetime" Chris Sanders is seen standing on the ramp with his back to the crowd and his right arm raised in the air, clutched in a fist, as the drum beats continue on, spurts of the silver pyro come down in a synchronized motion with the beats as Sanders turns and makes his way to the ring. The crowd continues to cheer as he reclines against the corner turnbuckle and does a "yawn" as he waits for his opponent to arrive.
Suddenly the arena is plunged into total darkness and the begging of Marilyn Manson This Is the New Shit hits the P.A. system. The Xtreme Tron goes from black to static and back to black, causing a strobe effect upon the crowd. When the music gets loud strobe lights explode their bright lights upon the crowd as the top of the entrance ramp begins glowing in a deep red. Slowly the curtain opens and Rat Bastard emerges. Rat makes his way down the ramp as the strobe lights ignite around him, making his walk look like slow motion. When he reaches the apron he climbs in as the dark red glow comes from above the ring now as Rat glares out at the fans...
Ishnari: How'd these guys get the main event slot after the matches we've had so far? I guess they're Rhein's buddies.
Tommy: They've been taking names as of late, in the back of your mind you have to be asking yourself just what do they have in mind for Death Trap and J.L tonight
Ishnari: In order to keep up this curve of behaviour they've been following the good money's on {No Means No}.
Tommy: I hope not, this is live television
Ishnari: But assault is ok, right?
Tommy: I think the way we spell extreme arround here gives the people the impression that it is
Ishnari: Can't get more xtreme than {No Means No}!
The opening riffs of "Sleep Now In The Fire" by Rage Against The Machine hits the Xtremetron. J.L.'s video begins playing, showing clips from him nailing Goldberg with a chair, to a clip of him defeating Psyko Stevo and winning the XHF Phoenix Champion, as well as him winning the 8 Man Battle Royal for the X*Crown Championship, along with clips of his title defenses thereafter. It flashes through many shots of himself as the song plays.
The world is my expense \\ The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future \\ And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists and march around \\ Dont dare take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed \\ And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow \\ Or I'll drag you to your grave
I'm deep inside your children \\ They'll betray you in my name
The video stops, and blackness covers the arena. Red strobes of light begin flashing up and down the ramp, and then begin to circle the crowd. Finally they all come from the crowd, and converge on the entrance way, where J.L. now stands with his head down, and low smoke coming out from the grate. He does a few punches and kicks, and then a large red pyro explodes on the last punch. He begins shaking his head and hopping down the ramp, as he proceeds down towards the ring.
For it's the end of history \\ It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take \\ So swallow the one
That makes you ill \\ The Nia, the Pinta, the Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields' overseer \\ The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima \\ The cost of my desire
YEAAAH! Sleep now in the fire! \\ Sleep now in the fire!
J.L. walks around to the announce table, taking a bow towards the crowd, as the majority begins cheering. He climbs upon the apron, facing the crowd, and then quickly spins around to face the ring, when four red pyros set off from each turnbuckle. They criss-cross above the center of the ring, and go off in their own directions. J.L. ducks under the ropes, and gets into the ring.*
The lights go black and blue and red strobes circle the arena. The Xtremetron flashes Obey the Master of Puppets! ECF 4 Life! The speakers blast DT yelling, ECF . . . FOR LIFE! The opening guitar solo of "One of a Kind" by Breaking Point blares through the speakers. The tron shows segments of DT hitting his various finishers on opponents. As the first verse starts, Death Trap steps out onto the ramp in his Death Trap Obey the Master of Puppets shirt and shades. He has on his favorite black hat and is carrying Homer, his lucky bat. He has on his blue and red striped leather pants. He has on black boots and grapple gloves. He gives the Final Judgment sign and triggers a huge pyrotechnic chain reaction as the chorus hits.
What do you say? The fear I see when I look in your eyes, makes you believe Im One of a Kind. Fear I leave in the back of your mind makes you believe Im . . . One of a Kind! Hey! Hey! Hey! One of a Kind! Hey! Hey! Hey! One of a Kind!"
The tron shows "Final Judgment will be passed!" in red and green lettering. The lights brighten. He walks to the ring and takes off the hat, shirt, and shades, and drops the bat. He steps to the center of the ring and his arms in a cross. He then gives the Final Judgment sign again and sets off one final pyrotechnic eruption.
Tommy: How well will these two co-exist?
Ishnari: They'll be fiiiine.

Ishnari: Huh?
Tommy: Figure of speech...Rat and Sanders are working well together, nice tag there
Ishnari: Nice tag? NICE TAG? We've been watching a tag tournament and you never commented on the niceness of their tags!
Tommy: Well those were nice too, but them being in the tournament, I just assumed everyone expected a nice tag. that and the action was so much more interesting then a tag
Ishnari: And what's so great about the way they work together? They haven't yet!
Tommy: Their hands met with perfect precision on that tag. So soft and smooth was the contact

Tommy: Last I checked...that wasn't allowed
Ishnari: The last I checked Rat wants to lose the match. Who's the fucking ref here?
Tommy: The guy off in the far corner trying to keep Death Trap out of the ring
Ishnari: Why is he doing that?
Tommy: I think it might be because he's suppose to. Normally a team is only allowed one person in the ring
Ishnari: He's supposed to be focusing on the match. What's he doing over there exactly anyway? He's just standing there flapping his arms about. He's still at it!

Tommy: Rat and Sanders pick up the win, but did J.L just abandon Death Trap?
Ishnari: I think so - just like I called it!
DT is barely moving in the ring when J.L re-enters the ring.J.L begins screaming at Death Trap claiming he was hit on purpose and has officially banned him from ever rejoining Anarchy Inc. In frustration now he picks up a chair and cracks it over the knees of Death Trap! J.L looks like he's ready to do it again when suddenly Gravedigger comes running down to his rescue! J.L slides out of the ring and takes off back up the ramp as Gravedigger slid into the ring.

A right hand to Rat, then to Sanders, back and forth he goes when suddenly a dark figure begins to descend from the rafters! He hits the floor on the outside of the ring, wearing a cheaply made Scorpion mask (the one's you'd see the little kids wearing) and unhooks himself from the cords used to let him down, he slides into the ring and tackles Gravedigger, protecting Rat and Sanders! Gravedigger slides out of the ring, the man follows as Gravedigger begins fighting back, and sends him over the barricade, the two begin brawling all the way to the back, this now leaves Death Trap, still down, with Rat and Sanders in the ring!
Tommy: Who in the hell...was that!
Ishnari: My money's on Scorpion
Tommy: Well the mask would explain that but that is quite cheaply done...I can't see it being him
Ishnari: Well we can't see it being anyone he's wearing a mask.
Tommy: That's true...and I thought Scorpion wore facepaint anyway
Ishnari: He wears knobpaint too. All over his little stinger.
Rat picks up Death Trap and holds him there as Sanders comes charging from the opposite corner, the Celestial Spear, nearly breaking Death Trap in half! Rat then rolls him over and locks in the Rat Trap! Death Trap is out already but Rat keeps the hold applied, he's making a statement! Suddenly from the back comes Reeshi! Reeshi's charging down the ramp as Sanders warns Rat and two slide out of the back of the ring. Reeshi doesn't even look in the direction of Death Trap, he slides out as well, Rat and Sanders are over the barricade, Reeshi takes off after them, the fans cheering him on all the way! The camera loses the three as they move into the back of the building so it moves back over to Death Trap who's still out in the middle of the ring.
Ishnari: *yawns* Another Rat and friends post-match beatdown? I haven't seen anything this predictable since sunrise this morning.
Tommy: Wait...so sunrise is in the morning?
Ishnari: Not in your world. You'll never see the light.
Tommy: Oh okay...hey look, Reeshi's here! And for the second straight show, Rat has retreated! Is this a sign? Is Rat's days of taking numbers over at least for the time being? Is Rat going to get his?
Ishnari: If history has taught me anything I'll have to say no to all of those questions.
Tommy: Oh, and to think I had my hopes up for Gastro this Friday. Well...goodnight everyone
Ishnari: Ishnari: Happy dreams!
Ishnari: Numba one baby!
Tommy: Sanders is back, Reeshi we're not sure of, last we heard, still in Detroit. But that doesn't matter we got an action filled night for you, let's get to it!
Ishnari: We've got our opener as...aw man!
The lights go out and blue strobe lighting fills the arena. The begging of Stinkfist by Tool begins to play, the start of the song with the rattiling begins quietly, and slowly gets louder and then the song hits in.
Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.
Winter Callous steps through the curtains with his arms raised in the air, and his head looking down to the ground. As he gets to the centre of the ramp, he brings his arms down and then looks out into the crowd. He slowly walks towards the ring, as Stinkfist by Tool keeps playing.
Constant over stimu-lation numbs me
and I wouldn't have
It any other way.
Winter Callous reaches ringside and then walks around the edge of the ring, slapping hands with some of the fans on the front row, and then slides under the bottom rope at the back of the ring. He quickly stands up and jumps up a turnbuckle, where he holds his arms up once more, shouting out into the cheering crowd. Winter Callous jumps back down and walks over to some ropes, where he awaits the match to begin.
Ishnari: No matter what some may say, this is the guy in the match with the pressure on him.
As the crowd's faint cheers are echoing in the building, lights flash out, as the Xtreme tron has a face go across it, covered behind ice
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
"Going Under" is heard in the background of the music, as an ice type color flashes around the arena, and the entire crowd gets off there feet cheering
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm going under
The fans cheer's going off the scale, as the lights fade out, and showing Tara on the Xtreme Tron hitting the Ice Age on a mystery person in a different fed
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Tara comes out from behind the curtains, her arms raised in the air, as she brushes her hair back with her hand, she lifts her right arm in the air, with 2 fingers up, as ice begins falling down, right as she lowers her arm
Blurring and Stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowing in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
Tara walks over to the barricade, reaching her hands out at the fans, high-fiving them, as she continues down to the ring, with a sparkle in her eye, as she looks inside the ring, at the announcer and referee, still listening to the cheer's from the crowd
So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe I can't keep going under
She slides into the ring, as the crowd explodes with a huge cheer, as she walks over to the middle of inbetween 2 turnbuckles, and raises her arms in the air, and hangs over the ropes a bit, as she pulls herself back in. The guitar riff's from the PA are blasting out, as the crowd cheer's for her,
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
She now steps on the turnbuckle raising her right arm in the air, as the left helps her keep balance, and the music begins fading to an end, as Tara now waits for the match to get started.
Tommy: That was one hell of a long entrance, that's even longer then Rage's! And she's a woman!
Ishnari: Christ!
XHF Phoenix Championship
Winter Callous (c) vs Tara
Winter Callous is standing in the ring, seemingly laughing at himself or Tara, the fact that he's facing a woman. Winter Callous goes for a grapple in the middle of the ring and the two lock up. Tara takes him down with an arm drag. Callous getting up looking a little confused over what just happened, maybe taking Tara a little lightly. He tries it again and this Tara comes around with a waistlock. She runs Callous into the ropes and rolls him up, Callous kicking out after two, sending Tara up into the ropes. She turns around and bounces off the ropes, a wheel kick takes down the champion. Winter Callous is reeling as he gets back up and stumbles into the ropes. Tara comes foreward once again, this time Callous ducks and lifts her over the top rope. She grabs hold of the rope, turns herself around and lands on the apron. Winter turns around, Tara grabs him by the back of the head and drops off the apron, the head of Winter thrashing against the top, sending him back to the mat, clutching his throat.
Ishnari: Callous said before this match that he would kick out of anything Tara could put him through. We'll see if he's correct.
Tommy: Looks like we might get the chance to see if he's correct real early too. Either she's come out with some fire or he has taken her way too lightly here
Ishnari: Callous isn't concentrating at all. I wonder what could be distracting him?
Tommy: ....I vote chest
Ishnari: Exactly. All the pressure is on Winter Callous.
Tara vaults hereself over the top back into the ring, a front flip, landing right across the chest of Winter Callous! She rolls through and right into the cover, 1...2..Winter kicks out! Tara picks him up and leans him in the corner and begins with some knife edge chops followed by some kicks into the ribs of Winter Callous. Callous is taking it all in until he is able to snatch up the leg of Tara. Tara turns and flips through flailing her free foot up looking to strike just under the chin of Winter Callous but he lets go of the leg and turns his head to the side, she misses and lands flat on her face! Tara tasing the mat gets to her knees holding her mouth as Winter leaps up onto the middle turnbuckle. Tara gets to her feet and Winter Callous comes off the turnbuckle connecting with a bulldog to Tara!
Tommy: The works of a champion, always has that ability to bounce back nicely
Ishnari: And with one move the match has turned.
Winter Callous gets up and stares down at the woman and throws his hands out in front of him as though saying that's it. Tara is crawling back to her feet and Winter Callous sets her up in front of him. He taunts the crowd before he picks her up and comes through with the Santa Clause! Winter hooks the leg, 1...2...Tara still kicks out! She's hanging in there against the Phoenix Champion and Winter Callous can't bellieve it, he's up in the face of the referee and has him backed into the corner. He turns in frustration and receives a bicycle kick to the face for his troubles! Winter Callous falls back and Tara drags him to the middle of the ring. She then begins to climb the turnbuckle calling out to the fans before she leaps. She comes off with a moonsault to Winter Callous, but he gets the knees up!
Ishnari: Callous shouldn't be so frustrated that two hits coulnd't win him the match.
Tara rolls right off of him and onto her back, her feet flailing and she clutches her stomach in pain. Winter Callous gets up, grabs her feet and turns her over, Cold Texas locked in! As he arches back, pulling on both the lower back and stomach area of Tara, she has no choice but to tap out!
Winner and still Phoenix Champion: Winter Callous
Ishnari: And three moves seals it!
Tommy: That a quick, yet intense match to kick us off here tonight!
Ishnari: Another championship on the line coming up.
Callous keeps the hold locked in until William Spencer comes down the ramp, he's got a singapore cane in hand and cracks it over the head of Winter Callous getting him to release the hold! Spencer looks fired up when the screen suddenly turns on revealing Stevo.
Pysko Stevo: Woah, woah, buddy. We can't have people running around with Singapore canes and interrupting matches or starting after matches, that might be how we operate on Rhein's watch but Rhein isn't here tonight. Tonight is myself, Congo's and Mr.X's show, it's Congo. Corps.'s show. At Gastro, Winter Callous will defend his title once more as a warm up before Triple X. Winter Callous will be defending that title against Shadow Dragon.
Pop from the crowd
Stevo: But William, before you get all high and mighty over how you've busted your ass off for this title for god knows how long, there is something in it for you. If you can control yourself, and you can stay out of this match at Gasro then this little one on one match set for Triple X, will be made a triple threat match in which it will be Winter Callous vs William Spencer vs the runner up of that battle royal taking place at Eve of Xtreme. You understand me William? All you have to do is control yourself, not get involved in the match at Gastro, after the match, before the match, whatever, just get your little nose out of his business and you will get your Phoenix Title shot at Triple X. The choice is yours and we'll all be patiently waiting for that answer at Gastro.
Screen fades as Spencer seems to have calmed down at this point, realizing his shot it at stake as he picks up his cane and exits the ring.
Ishnari: We shouldn't need any positive reinforcment like that to stop attacks after matches.
Tommy: We have to start somewhere to get these people under control
Ishnari: I want to know what started them all off in the first place.
Tommy: Good question
The beginning of Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson slowly echos through the arena, and green and blue lights fill the top of the ramp. After about 10 second the guitar kicks in, and The Xtreme Warrior jogs through the curtains, his clothes and body paint glowing in the light. He starts to jog and dance on the spot, touching the floor with his hands almost crawling, half the crowd cheering wildly to the entrance as the other half boo at his heelish attitude. The Xtreme Warrior then burst into a slow run, and makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with some of the fans on the way down. Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson still playing loudly.
Take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
The Xtreme Warrior quickly slides in the ring, where he jumps up a turnbuckle and brings his arms up in the air. He stays there for a couple of seconds, and then jumps down and runs to the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring, where he taunts the crowd again. He then jumps down, and starts to stretch at some ropes, and waits for the match to begin.
Ishnari: Can Xtreme Warrior do an Ishnari?
Tommy: Maybe Ishnari did an Xtreme Warrior
Ishnari: Not yet he hasn't.
Tommy: No, but soon. He's my pick to win it!
My World hits as Elizabeth walks out, she stops at the stage and waits. The lights go out and on the XtremeTron appears in flaming letters "THE NEW FALLEN ANGEL HAS ARRIVED TO PASS JUDGEMENT OVER THE UNJUDGED" A lightning bolt then hits the top of the stage and I Am blasts over the PA and Apollyon walks out wearing a black towel over his head and his XHR Title, he puts his arms around the lovely and ever beautiful Elizabeth and kisses her, they then make there way to the ring where Elizabeth takes the XHR Title off from around Apollyons waist and holds it high in the air while Apollyon stops at the top of the steps, he raises his arms and the lights come back on, he then climbs through the ropes and gets down on one knee, he raises one arm in the air (Like Taker used to do) as Elizabeth stands behind him holding up the retired XHR Title as flames shoot out of the four turnbuckle posts.
Ishnari: Hey Appy, Tommy says you're going down.
Tommy: Oh, why don't you say it a little louder Ish, I don't think he heard you
Ishnari: You only have to ask darling.
Tommy:...please don't. At least let me live until after Triple X
Ishnari: Seems like a fair deal.
European Title Match
Apollyon vs. Xtreme Warrior
The match starts with Xtreme Warrior running right to Apollyon and delivers a few forearm shots to the side of Apollyons head. Apollyon is knocked back, and as Xtreme Warrior charges again, Apollyon goes for a clothesline, but its ducked. Apollyon turns around and grabs a kick from the Warrior. XW then goes for an enziguri, but Apollyon ducks the free leg and holds onto the other. XW lands on his hands and turns himself back over before Apollyon can react. XW kicks Apollyon in the side of the head and gets his other leg free. XW then does a kick-up, but as soon as hes standing, Apollyon delivers a clothesline.
Tommy: Apollyon asserting himself physically in a big way early on
Ishnari: Considering his size he should be able to assert himself better than using clotheslines
Tommy: It's still early Ish
Apollyon kicks the Xtreme one while hes down, until XW rolls out of the ring. XW composes himself, then walks up the steps and gets back in the ring. Both men lock up in the middle of the ring, and Apollyon pushes XW back, showing his superior strength. XW gets up, then both men charge the center of the ring to lock up again, but XW slides down and gets Apollyon in a drop toe hold. Apollyon gets up and is met with a dropkick from Warrior. Apollyon is sent backwards into the ropes, and on his way back XW runs at him and delivers a head scissors sending Apollyon to the outside upon finish.
Ishnari: Apollyon is slow and it is showing.
Tommy: Winter Callous is fast and it is showing
Apollyon now gets up and paces around composing himself. As he does so, XW runs at him and flies over the top rope with a Foreshadow, but Apollyon catches him. Apollyon then rams XWs back into the ring post. Apollyon doesnt drop him, walks in a small circle, and rams XWs back into the post again, still not letting go. He then turns around and delivers a powerslam on that thin padding outside. Now the ref has gotten to an 11 count, Apollyon gets up and starts stomping on XW. Elizabeth comes over and reminds Apollyon of the refs count. Apollyon picks up XW by the hair and throws him into the ring at 16. Apollyon rolls in and picks up XW. He picks up XW, lifts him up from the front, and delivers the Bloody Vengeance. Apollyon hooks the leg, 1, 2, kickout. Apollyon picks up Warrior again, puts his arm around XWs throat, lifts him in the air, but XW kicks Apollyon in the stomach and delivers a DDT. XW and Apollyon get up about the same time, Apollyons back facing XW, XW grabs him and delivers the Black Pastel.
Tommy: Hmm...Black Pastel...time for me to draw a picture!
XW quickly moves into a pin, hooking the leg, 1, 2, kickout. XW gets up, picks Apollyon up by the head, and hooks him up in a full nelson position. He then delivers the full nelson spin DDT. XW stomps away on Apollyon, then picks Apollyon up and kicks him in the gut. With Apollyon hunched over, XW goes up to the second turnbuckle, and dives off trying to deliver the Broken Words, but Apollyon moves. Apollyon awaits XW to get up, then delivers the Destroyer. He picks Warrior up by his arm, wrenches it, then walks up the turnbuckle, and delivers the Old School. Apollyon signals that its over and sets XW up between his legs. He lifts XW up, but the Darkside Bomb is reversed into a hurricanrana. XW grabs the legs, 1, 2, kickout.
Tommy: Oh! He was so close!
Ishnari: I'm surprised that he could take Apollyon down using only his ow body weight like that.
Tommy: I was surprised when you german suplex Mr. X, myself
Ishnari: Yeah - it doesn't make a lick of sense!
XW runs to the closest turnbuckle and climbs up. As he does so, Apollyon gets up and runs to and up the turnbuckle. He locks XW up for the Apollyon Driver, but XW punches Apollyon in the ribs with his free arm. Apollyon lets go and is teetering from falling. XW then delivers a vicious forearm right to Apollyons forehead, sending him off the turnbuckle. XW then stands up and quickly jumps off delivering the Forecast. XW stays on top for the cover. 1, 2, 3.
Winner and still European champion: The Xtreme Warrior
Tommy: And he does it! Xtreme Warrior retains the title!
Ishnari: That match was hell to call with all those renamed names!

"Ride Of Your Life" by Neurotica kicks up.
"Fall into a carousel of unimagined flight
Ripping round the corners shrieking, sometimes peeking light
Drown yourselves in lakes of volume
Drown yourselves in the sound
Turn it up to match your voyage
Ten is restricting, eleven takes you on a ride
The ride of your life
On the ride
The ride of your life"
Video clips of the "new" Real Deal of 2002 is shown, with clips such as the Tag Team Turmoil that took place at Xtreme Xmas, and The Real Deal's cage match with the Chris and Chris Connection. Charlie Velez is the focus of most of these clips, as they show him during his entrance, taunting the crowd.
"I always ask for more than is needed
I'm reaching down while I'm high
Puncture the air with verbal affairs
A chance to be smooth on the climb
I let it fly like a kite in the warm winded sky
Not sure how to land
But when I do hope my tunes are still true
May they scream loud to you
Wanna take you all on a ride
The ride of your life
On a ride
The ride of your life
Of your LIFE!!!"
Suddenly, the song is cut off and the screen fades to black. After a brief moment, breathing is heard, and after each breath the lights begin to come on, to show the ring from the entrance ramp, in black and white. The breathing gets harder and harder, when suddenly a man is in the center of the ring, wearing a leather jacket and street clothes. The screen turns to black with white letters that reads
"The Past, The Present
The Future
Charlie Velez
Fade out.
As the stage is clear and the crowd is silent."Adrenaline" is played through the arena, as a man Wearing a XHF T-shirt and leather vest heads out.He's styling with his Black striped leather pants but has a brightly coloured lucha mask that doesn't really fit with the rest of his attire as the fans chant the name of brawler.As brawler steps to look at the people, he knows he definetly has them. He goes through the ropes to get in the ring and then raises his arms in the air.Talking outoud and to himself, but the fans love it, as they cheer him on
Fuel by metallica hits. flames begin to flow down the asile, an expolsion goes off ontop of the ramp as Smash walks out to the ring.
Hardcore Rules
Brawler vs Smash
The two lock up in the middle of the ring with Brawler gaining the size advantage, backing Smash up into the corner. He quickly drives a few knees into the stomach area to gain an early advantage on him in that corner. As Smash gets his hands up to block the right hands Brawler sends a few more knees into the stomach of Smash. Brawler grabs Smash by the back of the head and drags him out of the corner, he then turns and with a sudden thrust tosses Smash just over the middle turnbuckle and shoulder first into the steel ringpost! The ring actually moves slightly as Brawler picks the feet up of Smash and dumps him the rest of the way to the outside.
Tommy: Brawler showing some prominance here in the hardcore division
Smash shakes it off, looking for that revenge for the defeat he suffered on Gastro as he strikes with a sudden low blow to Brawler. He grabs him by the back of the head and tosses him into the steel steps! The steps explode from in front of him and strike the barricade as Brawler lay in the mess. Smash drops to one knee grabbing the shoulder briefly before popping back to his feet. Smash picks up Brawler and leans him against the barricade where he drives the shoulders into the stomach area of Brawler! Smahs then picks up Brawler from that very position, turns and drives him into the ring apron! But he's not done there. He picks him up from that very position and drives him back first into the steel post! That's when Smash finally decides to drop Brawler and let him fall to the floor.
Tommy: Smash getting his revenge from last week on this rookie, Brawler!
Smash walks around to the other side of the ring and grabs the time keepers chair, tossing it into the ring. He then walks back around to grab the Brawler but as he does, Brawler turns on the fire extinguisher, blinding Smash! Smash is stumbling about, spinning around not sure where he is, he can't see a thing until he hits the floor courtesy of Brawler driving that fire extinguisher right into the forehead of Smash! Smash appears as though he has been busted open at the hands of Brawler here as Brawler drops to a knee this time, as he uses the fire extinguisher for support before dropping it and rolling Smash back into the ring.
Tommy: Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to the ring we go *whistles the tune* hi ho, hi ho, hi ho...
Smash is up to his knees as Brawler picks him up the rest of the way he looks ready to finish him off. He picks him up onto his shoulders in a reverse DVD position and looks ready to drop him with Hammered but Smash is able to break free. A kick to the gut from Smash gives him just enough time to pick up the chair and is bends in half right over the skull of Brawler! Brawler is out cold but to be certain of the win Smash clibms to the top rope and comes off with huge elbow drop right into the chest of the Brawler! The cover. 1...2...3!
Winner: Smash
Tommy: And Smash gets his revenge!
Smash begins to celebrate the win but suddenly stops and shakes his head. He points to Brawler and then motions that it's time for the mask to come off. Smahs sits Brawler up and begins to untie it at the back, the mask is ready to come off and Brawler realizes it, he's trying to hold it back on but Smash strikes with some right hands to Brawler that gives him enough time to rip the mask off! He holds it in the air and suddenly falls back in complete shock a sitting position in the corner. The man stands up showing himself...it's Hardcore Harry!
Tommy: Is someone screwin around with the special effects because right now there is a dead man in the ring
Ishnari: Thank God it wasn't a cremation.
Harry goes over and gets a mic, with Smash still in the ring shocked like hell.It seems though he's thinking of something
: well, it's me, Hardcore Harry.Back from the dead, no no no, you see back for the most excellent plan ever.I bet you all want to know how and WHY.Well your going to find out why, so get a beer and listen.Last week on gastro after getting the hardcore title back.I ran to the back and got in my car, with bags packed already.Head to my hotel and as I get in my Luxary ripoff sweet, with no porn.I hear a rustle at my door.Very wearly I open the door with that cheap ass chain which fell off I might add.This fans comes in my room and busts me over the head with a glass bottle.Blood everywhere, as I feel the glass sticking in my head.I just fall over and lose conciousness.Out like a light, as I awoke 2 hours later.I see my best friend Pyro leaning over me.Fixing the gash in my head, telling me if I wasn't here i would have bleed to death.Death, what a wonderful word as I stroke up an Idea.An idea so smart, that any rich man could pull off. Well to fake the sympathy, by the doctors off, a great FX guy, the police, that detective to question the shit out of mueller, and sadly my family was even for the plan.My family hated the idea, but I swore it to them it was for the better.I FAKED MY DEATH, I paid 100,000 to do this, just to mess with the heads of all you people.To mess with the heads of fellow wrestlers and mess with the people who acted as my friends. Just to see who was really sorry for me.Now some of them I will let slide, but two count them two I will never forget. You might be wondering WHY, the reason because I talentless cripple of a commish makes this belt 24/7.Which means I can never sleep and never drink.Do you know how it would feel to never drink without hoping some guy like Stranglove would screw you, two ways.No, you don't know how, so I had to do it.I told everyone when I won this title, I would do anything to keep it.ANYTHING, even if it broke a few hearts backstage at XHF.I did it, so I could be known as least likely to trust.
crowd boos and yells harry sucks.Harry just laughs
: I could careless, but as I was sitting on my couch.Watching this go on, I had my regrets of doing this, as I seen wrestlers break down and thank me.I knew I did something wrong.As I thought about that, it brought a smile to my face, not in a sad way.No it was in a sick and sadistic happy way, I was happy again.You know what, I would do it again just to fu(beep) you people up...
harry is about to leave, but goes back in the ring
: one more thing, Rat Bastard and James Mueller you are the two I was talking about.You pissed me off as I sat and watched from the funeral home.You spit on me Rat, well let's just say I wouldn't be spitting on you next time I meet up with you.You James Mueller, you...you.....Are going to pay for your deeds against me.You put your hands on my father, you harrassed my wife and kids.Now you will be the one, who is going to be harrassed for the rest of your life.I set this up not knowing we get the likes of a Rat Bastard and James Mueller, so I apologize to my family.That is starting tonight....Starting tonight, Rat Bastard and James Mueller will be on code red alert.Which means whenever I see them, they will be laid out...Now I know you all hate my guts and will never be on my side again, but still the next few weeks will be the time you pay attention to me again.I will not stop until those two get what they have coming to them. As for this nifty Hardcore Title, I will continue to rain supreme in that category.No more running, I got my rest, now it time for everyone else to get me at my best...
Ishnari: Can I get an amen to that?
Tommy: Amen!
Harry stands in the ring, with the whole arena shocked at the sick plan, but amazed at the remarks harry made concerning Rat and James Mueller. Smash still down in the corner in complete shock, his mouth is dropped right open when suddenly he shakes his head as though he's snapped out of it and he reaches to the outside where that fire extinguisher lay. Smash picks up and strikes Harry in the back of the head, he rolls him over, 1...2..3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Smash
Ishnari: That's ruined the welcome back party.
Tommy: I'd say so, but talk about seizing the opportunity. And how ironic coming right after Harry said everyone would deal with him at his best...he sure went down pretty easy
Ishnari: Hey Harry! Tommy says you go down pretty easy!
Tommy: Hey, I thought we had a deal Ish! After Triple X! After!
Ishnari: Apollyon, now Harry? Are you going to let me speak to anyone?
Tommy: Sure, you can talk to....No
Ishnari: ... ...
Tommy: Good boy Ish, have a cookie
Ishnari: ... ...
Xtreme Warrior is shown in his locker room after his hard fought victory over Apollyon when his door opens.
Intern: Mr. Warrior, you have a phone call.
XW gets up, walks out the room and down the hall to a pay phone on the wall. The camera is close enough to barely hear the phone.
Guy on phone: *In a muffled voice* watch your back. *Then the dial tone starts. *
XW looks at the phone in confusion, then hangs it up. As soon as he turns around he gets hit over the head with a chair. The camera moves over to see Mortis standing over the fallen champion holding the chair. Mortis throws the chair down and then walks off.
Tommy: uhhh....
Ishnari: What's with the use of a chair as a weapon? They're backstage! He had to come all the way from the arena to get one!
*A ring master stands on a stage. There, behind him, total chaos in a circus setting. Funky music can be heard, as midgets and animals playing around. A man swollows a sword down his throat. Another man blows huge flames into the air. A Big thunderous voice can be heard from the big man on the center stage... making an announcement...
"Step Right up... Step right up Everyone..
Weither you're good or bad... Happy or Sad...
Weither you are an emotional wreck...
or a Blissful Speck in this blackhole of an existence... we call life.
Step right up and witness something you will be soon to never forget...
Feast your eyes on the most furocious fighter that has ever been created...
Built for you by the creator of life and death...
Built for you for you to fulfill the pleasures of pain and suffering...
Step right up... and take a look at the Future... Take a look at The Present...
Take a look.... at James Mueller..."
*White pyros shoot up from the stage and white spotlights cycles around the darkened arena. "Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust begins to play over the speaker system. The fans get to their feet and boo heavily, as they await James Mueller to appear. In unison, the spotlights all center to the center of the stage. There with his back turned to the crowd is James Mueller, with his wrists in handcuffs. The crowd boos even louder as more pyros explode around the Xtreme Tron. James spins around and faces the crowd, and recieves even more boos. He poses for the crowd still in his shackles, and Jessica walks out, and joins James at his side. Two Salem, Oregon cops walk out as well, with emotionless expressions on their pale faes. They walk down the rampway, towards the ring together. James runs up the steps, and walks on the apron. He presses his back against the ropes, and looks out into the crowd. He smirks and nods his head, and then climbs into the ring with help from Jess. He walks over to the ropes, and then sits on the middle rope. Jessica bends over, and walks through the ropes, with James grinning. Aaron Alexander appears from the entranceway and begins to walk down to the same tune as Mueller walks over to one of the turnbuckles, but instead of raising his arms, his wrists are still handcuffed. James jumps back off the turnbuckle, and lands cleanly on his feet. He then does a little jig in the ring, and the two cops enter the ring. They free James from his handcuffs, and they leave the ring. They stand out at ringside, making sure James doesnt do anything drastic or more then what he is pardoned to do. James rubs his wrists, and then props up against a turnbuckle, waiting for the match to begin...
Ishnari: Here comes Jim!
Tommy: And Aaron!
Ishnari: Aaron and Jim in action coming up.
Slow square dance tune comes over the speakers as Decoy steps out holding a black, New York Yankees baseball cap in his hands and is wearing the new, silver and white, open, Toronto Blue Jays jersey. He spins around moving out onto the top of the stage as though almost square dancing with himself. The music picks up and Decoy puts the hat on backwards. He nods his head to the music (Square Dance by Eminem) and folds his arms over his chest, trying to look cool as he walks out down the ramp and into the ring.
The lights go to a dim as the voice of 50 Cent can be heard over the speakers.
If I can't do well, homey, it can't be done
Now I'ma let the champagne bottle pop
I'ma take it to the top
Fo sho I'ma make it hot, baby (baby)
With that pyro explosions go off at opposite ends of the ramp and "If I Can't" by 50 Cent hits the speakers. As the pyro leans over on the ramp, through the smoke walks Platinum with. He stands just in front of the action where he looks down at his waist. He jumps up and down a moment before charging off towards the ring. He reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He jumps onto the far turnbuckle and shows of his platinum chain with "P" around the neck to the still booing fans. He then jumps down, giving the platinum "P" to the timekeeper and jumps up and down in the corner getting ready for his match.
Ishnari: Your view?
Tommy: Go Platipus!

Tommy: No, lot of hockey tho...lot of hockey
Ishnari: Then you don't know what it's like to be hit by the Cruise Missile

Ishnari: Alexander and Mueller, the Hurriboys, Quake and Styler and Apollyon with Spencer shall be meeting each other in the next round. As for who will meet who exactly, nobody quite knows yet.
Tommy: It's Rhein's tournament, I'm sure he'll tell us but as we found out earlier from Stevo he's not here to tell us
Ishnari: I guess all they can do now is celebrate.
The two begin to celebrate when Mueller suddenly nods to Aaron. Aaron nods back and Mueller slides to the outside of the ring but suddenly hops over the barricade and takes off! The police put the cuffs away and some begin to take off after her him while others run to the back looking to cut him off, James Mueller is getting away!
Ishnari: Like they didn't see that one coming.
Tommy: Obviously not, because it's working
The arena goes dark, the fans can be heard muttering about who is coming out, and the watchers are caught by surprise when "Rock Is Dead (XHF mix)" by Marilyn Manson hits and a curtain of red pyro falls from the ceiling and continues to shower down as the song plays, when the theme slows the pyro comes to a halt and "Primetime" Chris Sanders is seen standing on the ramp with his back to the crowd and his right arm raised in the air, clutched in a fist, as the drum beats continue on, spurts of the silver pyro come down in a synchronized motion with the beats as Sanders turns and makes his way to the ring. The crowd continues to cheer as he reclines against the corner turnbuckle and does a "yawn" as he waits for his opponent to arrive.
Suddenly the arena is plunged into total darkness and the begging of Marilyn Manson This Is the New Shit hits the P.A. system. The Xtreme Tron goes from black to static and back to black, causing a strobe effect upon the crowd. When the music gets loud strobe lights explode their bright lights upon the crowd as the top of the entrance ramp begins glowing in a deep red. Slowly the curtain opens and Rat Bastard emerges. Rat makes his way down the ramp as the strobe lights ignite around him, making his walk look like slow motion. When he reaches the apron he climbs in as the dark red glow comes from above the ring now as Rat glares out at the fans...
Ishnari: How'd these guys get the main event slot after the matches we've had so far? I guess they're Rhein's buddies.
Tommy: They've been taking names as of late, in the back of your mind you have to be asking yourself just what do they have in mind for Death Trap and J.L tonight
Ishnari: In order to keep up this curve of behaviour they've been following the good money's on {No Means No}.
Tommy: I hope not, this is live television
Ishnari: But assault is ok, right?
Tommy: I think the way we spell extreme arround here gives the people the impression that it is
Ishnari: Can't get more xtreme than {No Means No}!
The opening riffs of "Sleep Now In The Fire" by Rage Against The Machine hits the Xtremetron. J.L.'s video begins playing, showing clips from him nailing Goldberg with a chair, to a clip of him defeating Psyko Stevo and winning the XHF Phoenix Champion, as well as him winning the 8 Man Battle Royal for the X*Crown Championship, along with clips of his title defenses thereafter. It flashes through many shots of himself as the song plays.
The world is my expense \\ The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future \\ And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists and march around \\ Dont dare take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed \\ And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow \\ Or I'll drag you to your grave
I'm deep inside your children \\ They'll betray you in my name
The video stops, and blackness covers the arena. Red strobes of light begin flashing up and down the ramp, and then begin to circle the crowd. Finally they all come from the crowd, and converge on the entrance way, where J.L. now stands with his head down, and low smoke coming out from the grate. He does a few punches and kicks, and then a large red pyro explodes on the last punch. He begins shaking his head and hopping down the ramp, as he proceeds down towards the ring.
For it's the end of history \\ It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take \\ So swallow the one
That makes you ill \\ The Nia, the Pinta, the Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields' overseer \\ The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima \\ The cost of my desire
YEAAAH! Sleep now in the fire! \\ Sleep now in the fire!
J.L. walks around to the announce table, taking a bow towards the crowd, as the majority begins cheering. He climbs upon the apron, facing the crowd, and then quickly spins around to face the ring, when four red pyros set off from each turnbuckle. They criss-cross above the center of the ring, and go off in their own directions. J.L. ducks under the ropes, and gets into the ring.*
The lights go black and blue and red strobes circle the arena. The Xtremetron flashes Obey the Master of Puppets! ECF 4 Life! The speakers blast DT yelling, ECF . . . FOR LIFE! The opening guitar solo of "One of a Kind" by Breaking Point blares through the speakers. The tron shows segments of DT hitting his various finishers on opponents. As the first verse starts, Death Trap steps out onto the ramp in his Death Trap Obey the Master of Puppets shirt and shades. He has on his favorite black hat and is carrying Homer, his lucky bat. He has on his blue and red striped leather pants. He has on black boots and grapple gloves. He gives the Final Judgment sign and triggers a huge pyrotechnic chain reaction as the chorus hits.
What do you say? The fear I see when I look in your eyes, makes you believe Im One of a Kind. Fear I leave in the back of your mind makes you believe Im . . . One of a Kind! Hey! Hey! Hey! One of a Kind! Hey! Hey! Hey! One of a Kind!"
The tron shows "Final Judgment will be passed!" in red and green lettering. The lights brighten. He walks to the ring and takes off the hat, shirt, and shades, and drops the bat. He steps to the center of the ring and his arms in a cross. He then gives the Final Judgment sign again and sets off one final pyrotechnic eruption.
Tommy: How well will these two co-exist?
Ishnari: They'll be fiiiine.

Ishnari: Huh?
Tommy: Figure of speech...Rat and Sanders are working well together, nice tag there
Ishnari: Nice tag? NICE TAG? We've been watching a tag tournament and you never commented on the niceness of their tags!
Tommy: Well those were nice too, but them being in the tournament, I just assumed everyone expected a nice tag. that and the action was so much more interesting then a tag
Ishnari: And what's so great about the way they work together? They haven't yet!
Tommy: Their hands met with perfect precision on that tag. So soft and smooth was the contact

Tommy: Last I checked...that wasn't allowed
Ishnari: The last I checked Rat wants to lose the match. Who's the fucking ref here?
Tommy: The guy off in the far corner trying to keep Death Trap out of the ring
Ishnari: Why is he doing that?
Tommy: I think it might be because he's suppose to. Normally a team is only allowed one person in the ring
Ishnari: He's supposed to be focusing on the match. What's he doing over there exactly anyway? He's just standing there flapping his arms about. He's still at it!

Winners: Rat Bastard and Primetime Chris Sanders
Tommy: Rat and Sanders pick up the win, but did J.L just abandon Death Trap?
Ishnari: I think so - just like I called it!
DT is barely moving in the ring when J.L re-enters the ring.J.L begins screaming at Death Trap claiming he was hit on purpose and has officially banned him from ever rejoining Anarchy Inc. In frustration now he picks up a chair and cracks it over the knees of Death Trap! J.L looks like he's ready to do it again when suddenly Gravedigger comes running down to his rescue! J.L slides out of the ring and takes off back up the ramp as Gravedigger slid into the ring. J.L is motioning the gold around his waist, claiming he's taking both Gravedigger and Reeshi's titles as Gravedigger, no time to check on his fallen friend Death Trap as Rat and Sanders are back into the ring, and Gravedigger is now trying to fight them off. A right hand to Rat, then to Sanders, back and forth he goes when suddenly a dark figure begins to descend from the rafters! He hits the floor on the outside of the ring, wearing a cheaply made Scorpion mask (the one's you'd see the little kids wearing) and unhooks himself from the cords used to let him down, he slides into the ring and tackles Gravedigger, protecting Rat and Sanders! Gravedigger slides out of the ring, the man follows as Gravedigger begins fighting back, and sends him over the barricade, the two begin brawling all the way to the back, this now leaves Death Trap, still down, with Rat and Sanders in the ring!
Tommy: Who in the hell...was that!
Ishnari: My money's on Scorpion
Tommy: Well the mask would explain that but that is quite cheaply done...I can't see it being him
Ishnari: Well we can't see it being anyone he's wearing a mask.
Tommy: That's true...and I thought Scorpion wore facepaint anyway
Ishnari: He wears knobpaint too. All over his little stinger.
Rat picks up Death Trap and holds him there as Sanders comes charging from the opposite corner, the Celestial Spear, nearly breaking Death Trap in half! Rat then rolls him over and locks in the Rat Trap! Death Trap is out already but Rat keeps the hold applied, he's making a statement! Suddenly from the back comes Reeshi! Reeshi's charging down the ramp as Sanders warns Rat and two slide out of the back of the ring. Reeshi doesn't even look in the direction of Death Trap, he slides out as well, Rat and Sanders are over the barricade, Reeshi takes off after them, the fans cheering him on all the way! The camera loses the three as they move into the back of the building so it moves back over to Death Trap who's still out in the middle of the ring.
Ishnari: *yawns* Another Rat and friends post-match beatdown? I haven't seen anything this predictable since sunrise this morning.
Tommy: Wait...so sunrise is in the morning?
Ishnari: Not in your world. You'll never see the light.
Tommy: Oh okay...hey look, Reeshi's here! And for the second straight show, Rat has retreated! Is this a sign? Is Rat's days of taking numbers over at least for the time being? Is Rat going to get his?
Ishnari: If history has taught me anything I'll have to say no to all of those questions.
Tommy: Oh, and to think I had my hopes up for Gastro this Friday. Well...goodnight everyone
Ishnari: Ishnari: Happy dreams!
