"Monolith" by Stone Sour kicks in.
"Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real - TO ME!
I'VE CONSECRATED!
I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT
I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN... BEFORE MY EYES!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within"
Clips from the summer of 2003 are shown, including matches between Charlie Velez and Venom. The Two Falls match at Decimation is shown, with Charlie Velez hitting all of his signature moves, and getting the pinfall. Charlie Velez's Junior Heavyweight title defenses are shown, and Charlie Velez's matches at Xtreme Impact and Overheated.
"Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this?
I couldn't have: oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside - OF ME?
I'VE DESECRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!
Suddenly the music stops, and clips of the ring is shown, as a heartbeat is heard in the background. The beat gets faster and faster, when all of a sudden, the camera is shown close up of a man looking down at the mat. The heartbeats get slower and slower, and then finally stop as the man looks up to reveal "The Future" Charlie Velez. Charlie begins to talk, but the words seem to be off.
"The Past
The Present
The Future
Charlie Velez
Triple X."
Fade out.
Tommy: Triple X! The date is set! Charlie Velez returns at Triple X!
Ishnari: He hasn't got a match - what's he going to do?
Tommy: I don't know, that's a good question. I guess we'll have to tune in this Sunday to find out
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 cieling 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.
Tommy: You know this night's going to be good, when we kick things off with the big six man tag!
Ishnari: Six man tags aren't used often enough in this country.
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.
Tommy: Former X*Crown Champion now in the XHF Title mix, looking to make a dream come true. It starts tonight!
Suffocate by Finger Eleven Plays as Gravedigger walks out with the X-Crown Title around his waist and stops at the top of the ramp, and looks around at the crowd for a few seconds. GD then Proceeds to walk to the ring. Once in the ring GD gets on the nearest turnbuckle and raises one arm, after about a few seconds he gets down. GD then gets on the opposite Turnbuckle and takes off his title and raises both his arms, with his right holding the X-Crown Title, after about a few seconds GD gets down and hands the title to the ref.
Ishnari: One of two matches tonight for this man. Hopefully his team mates will remember this.
Tommy: Yeah, maybe they'll keep him on the sidelines until absolutely needed
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 Xtremetron 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: Talking of team mates I don't think Reeshi will be happy with his team tonight. At least, I wouldn't be if I was him.
Tommy: I think he realizes it may be five on one odds
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: This man thinks he's the front runner for that title. We'll see with his performance tonight
The lights go completely out, many of the fans have lighters, laser pens, etc and now have them on. Suddenly the screen turns on with a sea of static. The beginning of Burn to Burn by Static-X hits the speakers. The music takes a pause as nothing but a deep, slow voice is heard reciting the beginning of the song.
"Static in sound...
Incurable
You plant the seed...
You feel the need"
A loud and booming scream is heard as pyro goes off at the top of the ramp, the ball of fire followed by the billowing smoke, first thing to be seen is the shiny XHF Title, and through it all, out walks Reeshi, revealing that very title over his shoulder. Reeshi is greeted with the boos from the fans, he takes it all in, ignoring every one of them with the exception of one where he stops along the side of the entranceway and taunts the fan. Once down the ramp Reeshi reaches the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He walks to the far side and climbs the turnbuckle, raising both arms, the XHF Title in one hand, into the air, showboating to hate filled fans. Reeshi steps down and stands in the middle of the ring, adjusting the title on his shoulder, giving it a pat here or there, letting everybody know that the title belongs to him.
Tommy: The XHF Champion, looking to maybe soften up a few people before the big match this Sunday
Gravedigger, "J.L" Jeremy Lewis, Death Trap vs Chris Sanders, Reeshi, Rat Bastard
Reeshi and J.L start the match and they do so with words in the middle of the ring. Reeshi gives J.L a big slap in the face, showing no respect for the former X*Crown Champion. J.L takes a step back a moment and takes it in until he suddenly lunges forward with right hands to the champion! Reeshi shoves J.L off of him and stumbles back a bit, shaking his head, after getting rattled by J.L who is apparently not done, he jumps forward with a huge back elbow into the jow of Reeshi that knocks him right back into the corner. J.L running on emotion at this point, firing more rights to the face of Reeshi in the corner before the referee steps in and is able to get J.L out of there. J.L takes a step back and respects the wishes of the referee but once the referee moves out of the way, J.L is back on the attack. Shoulders into the sternum of Reeshi in to the corner, until about the third attempt when Reeshi locks his arms trapping J.L and drops his elbow right across the back of the head of J.L. That causes J.L to stumble back a bit, holding the back of the head, Reeshi rebounding in the corner. Reeshi steps out and catches J.L, driving his knee right into the gut and snatching up his head, bouncing it off his knee, sending J.L to the mat. Rat and Sanders step in and go on the attack on J.L. It begins with a few boots to the fallen J.L and eventually escalates to J.L being shoved into the corner, shoulders driven into his sternum now courtesy of Rat before Sanders backs him up and drives right back in again, pressure on the lower back and sucking the air right out of J.L. Reeshi strikes with a back elbow to Death Trap and a right hand to Gravedigger that knock them right off the apron! Rat and Sanders continue their assault as Rat whips J.L towards Sanders and he takes him down with the Celestial Spear! Rat and Sanders head back to their corner as Reeshi picks up J.L and shoves him back into the corner, so he is able to stand, Death Trap returns to his corner, as does Gravedigger after regrouping on the outside. Reeshi reaches over and tags in Sanders as Reeshi goes to his corner on the apron, with Sanders going to work on J.L in Sanders/Rat/Reeshi's corner by striking with some body shots, rights, lefts, and even some kicks in there as well, he is unloading on J.L in the corner. The referee steps in there and forces Sanders back, as J.L tries covering up in the ropes, the break being called. While the referee is sending Sanders back, Reeshi grabs the tag rope and begins to choke J.L with it from the apron! Reeshi lets go by the time the referee turns around as J.L has fallen to a sitting position in the corner, clutching his throat.
Ishnari: One team has remembered what they are - a team.
Tommy: But how long will it last with those three egos at one end of the ring
Sanders picks him and brings him out to the middle of the ring where he picks him up in a gutwrench and holds J.L there just a moment. He is setting him up for the Best Intentions but J.L slides down, Sharp Edge connects to Sanders! J.L begins moving to make the tag now and as he is almost there, Sanders moves to do the same. Rat takes off from his corner, grabbing the leg of J.L and pulling him back towards the middle of the ring while reeshi drags Sanders over to his corner! Death Trap scurries into the ring towards Sanders when Reeshi and Rat are back in their corner with their hands up in innocence. They begin to taunt Death Trap, but realizing it's two on one, Death Trap gives his foot a kick and returns to the ring apron! The tag is made from Sanders to Rat. Death Trap jumps onto the middle rope and points over to Reeshi and Sanders "You want to play like that! We can play too!" He is back down flat footed on the apron as Rat immediately pounces on J.L and though J.L is fighting him the whole way through, Rat locks in the Rat Trap! Rat keps it locked in, J.L looks ready to tap when Death Trap turns to Gravedigger and nods. Gravedigger enters the ring, and so does Sanders, cutting him off! Death Trap drops from the apron and runs around to the side of the ring so he's in behind Rat, and slides into the ring. Death Trap strikes with a boot to the back of the head of Rat, and keeps running back to the apron where he begins to climb to the top turnbuckle. He has gotten Rat's attention as he lets go of the Rat Trap, gets and looks around to find Death Trap. He finds him up top but it's too late! Death Trap comes off with the top rope side kick, taking Rat down as he slides back out of the ring, giving Reeshi and Sanders the "I told you so" as he heads back to his corner.
Ishnari: At last, we have a 6-man tag!
Tommy: It's a six man tag, but it's about to become a brawl!
Ishnari: Doh'! And we had to wait for so long just to get one in the first place!
Sanders has had enough already and jumps down from the apron, running around to the far side to get at Gravedigger and pulls him off the apron. As he does, Reshi takes the opportunity to run around to the other side and pull Death Trap off the apron! The four begin to give it a go on the outside as the referee comes around to bring his attention to those four and that allows Rat to get right in there. Reeshi's got the hammer for the ring bell in his hand while Death Trap has the ring bell. Referee has had enough and is calling for the bell! Even though the bell doesn't sound, the match is over!
Winner: Draw due to double forfeit
Ishnari: Argh! And we were so close!
Tommy: Didn't we mention something when this match was announced as to the fact that there is no way you'd be able to keep things under control with these six guys in there?
Ishnari: It is not anybody's job to keep them 'under control'. They're grown adults, they're responsible for their own actions!
Tommy: But they can't, which is what is going to make Sunday so great!
J.L is next out there, trying to aid Death Trap and Gravedigger in all of this while Rat is out there helping out Sanders. It's still a three on three affair until through all the struggles, Reeshi turns around and decks Sanders with the hammer! Sanders goes down in a hurry but pulls himself and is looking to get him some of Reeshi. Rat moves in to help him out, but Death Trap and J.L...they want Rat and Sanders as well. It turns into a four on two as everyone gangs up on Rat and Sanders! Suddenly from the rafters drops that figure again with the cheap Scorpion mask! He's got a baseball bat on him and strikes Death Trap in the lower back as Reeshi places his hand over the face of Death Trap and shoves him down after. Gravedigger receives a shot to the ribs with the bat, and then when Reeshi thought he was safe, he gets one right over the shoulder. Neither got hit hard enough to do any damage but it was enough for the man to get Rat and Sanders to regroup and get the hell outta there!
Ishnari: This whole post match beat down thing that is following these wrestlers wherever they go is getting real tired real quick.
Tommy: I agree, first we had Rat and Sanders as masked men and now this guys showing up, can't we all just get along...and let a match end in peace!
Ishnari: Amen
The scene opens up at a local grocery store where we see Smash inside with the hardcore title.
Smash: Been so busy avoiding everyone, haven't had any time to get my own groceries. Wish this title brought me enough money to pay for somebody to get them for me.
Smash moves right along into the frozen foods section.
Smash: What do I feel like having for dinner tonight. Steak...or
Before Smash can finish he hits the floor. He has been hit over the head with a frozen pork chop by Hardcore Harry. Harry's got his own referee and makes the cover 1...2...3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Hardcore Harry
Ishnari: When you're the 24/7 hardcore champ, the STEAKS are high! Mwap mwap!
Tommy: Nice one Ish, unfortunately he was hit with a pork chop not a steak!
Ishnari: Flair never gave out a chop as devastating as that in his eight decade career.
Tommy: That's because he was never in the XHF
The scene fades in to see the Xtreme Warrior walking down the halls backstage. Mortis is seen down the hallway walking towards Xtreme Warrior. They get nose to nose.
XW: What do you want?
Mortis: Remember when I said sooner than you think?
Mortis then punches XW, knocking him back a few steps. XW looks at Mortis and strikes him with a punch, knocking him back. They both start going at it with multiple punches. Mortis then grabs XW and throws him into the wall. Mortis steps back and tries to deliver a super kick, but XW ducks. XW gets behind Mortis and delivers a reverse DDT into his knee. XW then starts punching Mortis repeatedly in the face. Suddenly, XW gets hit in the back with a chair. The camera pulls out to reveal Kanyon holding the chair. Kanyon throws it to the ground and starts to punch XW in the head. He stands up and starts stomping on XW. Mortis now gets up and he starts to stomp on XW as well. Finally, refs and road agents run over to the scene and pull Kanyon and Mortis off of XW.
Tommy: For the last time, can't we all just get along
Ishnari: Mortis V Xtreme Warrior, one of THREE openweight matches on the Triple X card.
Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson hits the PA system and out walks Doc to a chorus of boos : Doc looks round at the fans and gives them the finger before proceeding to the ring : Doc climbs the turnbuckle and jumps back down...
Tommy: He's making his debut tonight!
A slow, quiet chiming noise is heard, like windchimes, as an image of water slowly dripping down the Xtreme Tron screens is shown. Suddenly, the guitar chords of Underdose by Inme hits the PA system, and the white background turns to dark purple, the water turns to blood red. A silhouette of a woman is seen walking closer to the water on the screens, then just as her whole body is in it's best view, a hugh bang is emitted and a white purple that fades to purple before disappearing, with Dagger on center stage as the singing begins. She walks down the ramp and gets into the ring.
Tommy: Tired of being mistreated just because she's a woman. Dagger is looking to make a statement
Casket Match
Dagger vs Doc
Doc moves in looking for a grapple but Dagger, begins to show off her speed right away with martial arts kicks into the ribs, using both her right and left leg attacking both sides of Doc. She finishes off the combination with a dropkick into the jaw area of Doc, that takes him off his feet. Doc gets right back up and receives a few elbows to the side of the head that knocks him back into the corner. Dagger grabs him and sends him across to the far corner. She follows up, charging in towards him but he ducks down and sends her over the top turnbuckle as she lands on the apron. He turns around and as she's catching her balance, capitalizes by grabbing the back of her head and slamming her face first into the ring post! Dagger falls off the apron and to the outside as Doc follows her out there.
Tommy: That Doc is a ruthless son of a gun
Doc picks her up and leans her up against the side of the ring, striking with some stiff knife edge chops. He whips her right across into the barricade and then again back in towards the ring, the lower back of Dagger, taking a beating. He then lets her go as she staggers back out towards him and drops her with a spinebuster on the outside! He grabs her by the right arm and drags her off towards the casket around at the other side of the ring. He lets go and moves around to open the casket but Dagger fights back, kicks to the back of the leg from the ground. Doc turns and gives her a stomp across the chest, picking her back up to her feet. He tries to pound her head first off the casket but she gets her hand in front and blocks it. A few elbows to the rib area of Doc and now it's his head going off the casket. She then gets down and takes out the right leg of Doc with a tackle of sorts, that shoulder driven right into the back of the knee of Doc.
Tommy: Dagger found her mark and she's hitting it!
Doc is down and holding his right leg as Dagger shakes off the early start by Doc and regains her composure. She picks up Doc, back to his feet and grabs that right knee of Doc, bending it back a bit, picking him up and dropping that knee right across hers, the knee breaker to Doc, sending him right back down, holding his knee once again. And Dagger isn't done the attack on the knee either, still on the outside next to that casket she walks around and snatches up that right leg of Doc. She wraps it around her own, and then grabs the other, holding it back, to keep it from striking her in retaliation and drops to the mat, locking in the figure four leg lock! Pulling and tugging on that right knee, the figure four is locked in tight on Doc. Doc's arms are flailing about as he screams in pain. Dagger finally lets go of the figure four, keeping a hold of that right leg and gives it a few kicks to the back of the knee before finally letting go.
Tommy: Man, that knee is taking a beating
Referee moves in and checks on Doc, who gives him the okay as Dagger picks Doc back up his feet, or should I say foot. Even with Dagger holding him up, he still has that right leg in the air, not putting it down, or putting any pressure on it as Dagger rolls him back into the ring. Doc keeps rolling and rolls right out of the ring at the other side just as Dagger slid back in the ring herself. She shakes her head and crawls across, rolling under the bottom rope where Doc is and is suddenly left hunched over, holding her left leg. The camera finally gets over and there is Doc with an old metal baseball bat! He lured her over there. With Dagger hunched over, Doc still on the ground, but with a clean sweep he is able to strike Dagger right over the top of the head with the bat! Dagger is on the mat and looks completely out after the blow to the head!
Tommy: Damnit! And I thought Dagger had this match won!
Doc clutches the ring apron to pull himself up to his feet and as he does, he tosses the bat into the ring, clutches the arm of Dagger and drags her around to the casket, pulling on the piece of ring apron in front of him to pull himself all the way there as well, still not walking on that right leg. He lets go of the arm of Dagger, she still appears to be out cold as he turns back to the casket. Doc places his head on the casket and as he does, it springs open and there is Platinum standing in the casket smiling back at Doc, shaking his head. Doc, on one leg, doesn't see fit to fit as he hops onto the apron and slides into the ring, Platinum hops out of the casket and slides into the ring right after Doc!
Tommy: platinum! What's he doing here!
He runs up beside him as Doc is crawling away and drops the elbow on him, taking him right back down to the mat and stopping the movement for the time being. Platinum goes up top and looks around to the crowd, he gives them a nod, and comes off with Air Time! Doc rolls around holding that lower back of his after Platinum connects with the air time as Platinum looks ready to leave until something catches his eye. He bends over and picks up the baseball bat. "You shouldn't have used this" he is cought muttering to himself by the camera as he shakes his head. Doc using the ropes to try and pull himself up and escape but as he does, Platinum rings the baseball bat right across the knee cap of Doc! The referee calls for the bell as Platinum drops the baseball bat. By the ring announcers words, the referee chose to stop the match claiming that Doc was unable to defend himself or carry on with the condition of his knee at the moment.
Winner: Dagger via referee's decision, claiming Doc was unable to continue
Tommy: Platinum has stressed his liking of Dagger, was he out here to protect her or break in the new guy?
Platinum slides out of the ring and begins to check on Dagger. He begins to get some signs of life from her and helps her to her feet, guiding her to the back.
Tommy: I wonder if she's even awake enough to realize that Platinum just helped her off?
The scene opens up in the grocery store again, this time with Harry in the fruits and veggies section. He has little express lane cart on him and he is filling it with fruits and veggies.
Harry: There better not be a line. Smash is going to be up any moment now and I need these for the big bake sale tomorrow. Apple pie, carrot cake, banana pie...orange pie? What was I thinking. Put that back and lets get out of here.
Harry takes off for the cash register when an apple explodes over his head. He turns to see Smash standing there and tosses the cart at him as Smash catches it and strikes Harry over the head with it! Harry still got some fight left in him though until Smash squirts some juice from the lemon into the eyes of Harry! The stinging rings throughout the eyes of Harry as he falls to a knee. Smash picks up Harry and slams him down into the fruit pile! He climbs up and covers him 1...2...3!
Winner and new hardcore champion: Smash
Tommy: Smash has got his hardcore title back!
Ishnari: Ok Harry, when you're in the same building as an established hardcore wrestler and you ar ethe 24/7 hardcore champion you don't STOP TO SHOP FOR PIES!
Ademas Trust hits the P.A. System and the lights in the arena go to a cool blue color. The fans begin to stand as Aaron " Boy Wonder" Alexander steps through the curtain and begins to jump about the stage. They fans explode in boos as he runs down the ramp and slides in under the bottom rope,As he stands he looks out at the crowd and smiles before climbing the nearest tuenbuckle and pointing around the arena.
A ring master stands on a stage, as the opening riff's to "The Age of Pamparius" begin to play. There, behind him, total chaos in a circus setting. The music can be barely 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. "The Age of Pamparius" by Turbonegro begins to pick up on the chorus on the speaker system. The fans get to their feet and boo, 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 arms stretched out and a Santa hat on and a green bag over his shoulder. The crowd boos even louder as more pyros explode around the Xtreme Xmas Tron. James spins around and faces the crowd, and recieves even more boos. He poses for the crowd, and Jessica walks out, and joins James at his side. She's too is also wearing a Santa hat, but also has a Christmas style short skirt and shirt. They walk down the rampway, towards the ring together. James runs up the steps, and spins 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. He walks over to the ropes, and then sits on the middle rope. Jessica bends over, and walks through the ropes, with James smirking. He then walks up to one of the turnbuckles, and raises his arms to the crowd. The crowd does the same but while booing, as Jess poses for the crowd. James jumps back off the turnbuckle, and lands cleanly on his feet. He grabs the bag, and pulls out Christmas boxes. He begins to throw the boxes into the crowd! The crowd goes crazy for James Mueller. Once the fans open them, there's a picture of James Mueller giving the lucky fans the middle finger. He throws his hat to the outside, then does a little jig in the ring, and waits for his fight. Jess exits the ring, and walks around ringside, also waiting
Ishnari: On Sunday we're going to have the final of what I personally think has been a very productive tournament.
Hit That" by The Offspring hits the speakers, and out walks Johnny I Cant Believe You Didnt See That Coming Styler and Kris Quake run out wearing Eat Me t-shirts, and then Miss Style wearing a Eat Me tube top. Styler and Quake suddenly run down the ramp and slide into the ring, and climb up the nearest turnbuckles holding their arms up. Miss Styles walks down the ramp and waits for her clients opponents, as both Styler and Quake leap off the second turnbuckle.
Tommy: I agree Ish, lots of teams have stepped up and shown what they're made of, including these guys right here. New to the XHF and already making an impact.
Ishnari: The Triple X Breakthrough Tag Team Tournament has lived up to its name.
Triple X Breakthrough Tag Team Semi-Finals
Johnny "I Can't Believe You Didn't See That Coming" Styler & Kris Quake vs. "The New @#%$" James Mueller & Aaron Alexandor
James Mueller and Styler are the first ones in the ring. Aaron whispers something to Mueller, as Quake and Styler strategize. Styler and Mueller go out to the middle of the ring, and get defensive, looking to hit an offensive. Styler goes for Mueller's legs, but Mueller jumps out of the way. Styler is quick to his feet. Mueller offers a test of strength, and they set up. Mueller begins to take Styler down to his knees, and Styler tries as hard as he can to fight back. He kicks Mueller in the leg, and both are down on their knees. Styler headbutts Mueller, and then side kicks him in the ribs with his foot. He then spin kicks Mueller across the face. Mueller falls over into the ropes, and he checks his face for blood. He looks at Styler, as both get to their feet again. Mueller offers another test, and Styler goes for it again. Mueller kicks Styler in the stomach, and then lifts him up for a powerbomb! Styler rolls over Mueller's back and rolls him up into a cradle pin, 1...2.Kickout is made. Mueller gets to his feet, and so does Styler. Mueller looks in a head lock, bounces Styler off the ropes, and throws him to the opposite side. Styler comes running back and leaps over Mueller, who was attempting a back body drop. Styler bounces off the ropes again, and then goes for a cross-body. Mueller catches him, and laughs. He then goes for a powerslam, but Styler reverses out and goes for a Tornado DDT. Mueller rolls off his head, and back to his feet, and Styler and Mueller lock up again. Styler kicks Mueller in the thigh, and then in the ribs. Mueller catches a third kick, that was going for his face, and trips Styler on his back.

Tommy: But they can't, they're shocked. Why Mueller! WHY!?!?!
Ishnari: He can't hear you
The scene opens at a local bar. The camera pans around and sees Smash with the hardcore title step through the door. He walks up to the bartenders table.
Bartender: What can I do for you today
Smash: Just get me something really strong, been a long day and I need to just ease it away.
Bartender: I got just what you need.
Bartender disappears and comes back with the drink but as the camera and Smash's face pans up, they find the real bartender has been replaced with...Hardcore Harry! Harry breaks the glass over the head of Smash, sending him back a bit, holding his head as Harry grabs a pool stick and strikes it over the head of Smash as well. Harry makes the cover. 1...2...3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Hardcore Harry
Tommy: Harry pulls a fast one on Smash and has the Hardcore Title for the second time tonight!
Ishnari: You can't help but think that it just isn't worth it, can you?
Tommy: Why have a title that has you constantly running and hiding from people?
Ishnari: It's not the hiding I'd be worried about its their hearts - think of the stress!
Suddenly, the arena lights begin to flicker off and on and as the crowd rises to it's feet immediately in anticipation, a combination of loud guitar riffs and the following words slowly begin to echo & scroll across the XHF's own looming Xtreme-Tron above...
"Ill tell you now you cant win this,
Youre way too slow,
Ill tell you now Im gonna take this,
Did you come here to watch me, watch me burn?!"
*Thereafter, the daunting tune of "Burn" by Three Days Grace hits the PA as the XHF's own "Hellraiser Hearthrob" of ALLL the ladies himself, the great Matt "Hellraizer" Hicks then emerges from behind the curtain with KKK partner Fury & the gorgeous Jennifer Dream by his side! Thereafter, once finished making their way on down the ramp to a chorus of fierce boos, this highly-touted young XHF superstar then finishes making his way on up the ring steps, leaving Fury & the elegant Jennifer to continue cheering him on from below now. Once inside the ring moments later, he proceeds to lean over toward the ropes and taunt off momentarily to this entire sellout crowd joining us here tonight, before then finally beginning to bounce back and forth off the ropes awaiting the emergence of any and all forthcoming opposition
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.
"Renegades of Funk" by Rage Against The Machine blasts over the PA System with the all so familiar words, as the crowd bounce to their feet cheering for the fun loving Icarus Krazy.
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
The lights in the arena start flashing widely to the beat as Icarus Krazy runs out to the centre stage, getting the crowd pumped as he dances about a bit. He then stands still as he looks down at the ring, the camera getting a long shot of his posture; he then suddenly bursts into a run down the ramp.
We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Icarus Krazy slides into the ring, almost reaching the other side on his belly. He then imminently springs to his feet and runs up onto the second of the turnbuckle, where he starts flinging his hands in the air, bobbing to the music.
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
He then jumps down and starts jogging on the spot slightly, as the music dies down and he waits for the match to begin.
All The Small Things by Blink 182 plays as Minibadboy makes his way down to the ring on his motorscooter and with his tradition half gallon of milk in hand and starts sucking it down like crazy at the top of the ramp as te crowd goes nuts. Minibadboy whellies down the ramp on scooter and then slides into the ring. Calling for more half gallons of milk from he ringside announcer and suck the down like crazy also,while the crowd goes nuts for one last time
The lights go out. Suddenly, "Creeping Death" by Metallica starts to play throughout the arena. The tron then flashes white with a black dragon's silhouette on screen. The lights then come back on as Shadow Dragon comes out wearing his signature long black trench coat. He climbs into the ring, takes off his coat and stretches as he waits for the match to begin.
The lights in the arena dim. Everything goes black. Then the green glow kicks in and the Hurricane symbol with the H inside appears and starts spinning on the ramp and in the ring. The Xtremetron shows the symbol standing still and then the music starts.
"STAND BACK! There's a Hurricane coming through!"
Eye of the Hurricane hits as Hurricane steps out and puts his hands on his hips and looks up into the stands as his cape billows behind him. The Xtremetron now shows Hurricane flying and giving a thumbs up then gliding behind Earth. Hurricane walks out to the front of the ramp and brings his arm in front of his face making his cape come across and cover from his mouth down as he bends his knees and gives his classic Hurripose. He walks up to the stands on the right side of the ring and puts his second mask on a small child. He enters the ring and gives the Hurripose again. He takes off his cape and flips it to the timekeeper and climbs the rope and looks around the crowd. He leaps down tot he center of the ring, ready for anything with his Hurripowers working. The lights brighten
Ishnari: A throwing contest!
Tommy: I want to know who the surprise participant is!
The beginning guitar riffs of System of a Down's "Spiders" slowly begins to play. Verse one begins as on the Xtreme-Tron the word "Venom" is shown small and growing bigger until it fills the Xtreme-Tron. As the verse ends black spiders fill the Xtreme-Tron until the screen is completely black, then one spider leaps towards the screen and leaves bite holes in the screen and at the spider bits the screen blue flaming pyros shoot from the stage. As the Chorus hits the Pyros die down and Venom comes from behind them walking down the ramp. Venom slides in the ring as the second verse hits and jumps around in a circle. As the Chorus hits again he pulls off the hood of his trench vest and runs to the top turnbuckle taunting out to the crowd. He then runs across the other side of the ring and repeats the routine. As the song becomes slow again Venom stands in his corner and takes off his vest as the song ends
Tommy: It's Venom! Venom's back in the XHF!
Ishnari: Is there anybody LEFT to return?
Tommy: Just seems like Velez is the last at Triple X, everyone is coming back!
'Ace of Spades' by Motorhead hits the P.A. system as Ace walks through the black curtain. He begins to walks down the ramp as pyro explodes from both sides and continues to explode and follow Ace down to the bottom of the ramp. He pulls up a chair and looks like he's going to be watching the match.
Tommy: Looks like our Junior Heavyweight Champion wants a front row seat for this one
Ishnari: There's a seat right next to me if that bitch wants it. We can have a chat about #1 contenders and win/loss ratios.
Tommy: Why so concerned about the JH title, when you have the chance to be the United States Champion this Sunday?
Ishnari: The US championship is a mighty honour but I shouldn't have to be forced into facing giants. One could make the argument that at 80 kilos the junior heavyweight belt is my european, my US and my world championship all in one. Some people think that just because I have a chance against Mr X then that makes it alright for Rhein to put me there in the first place. Not all are so forgetful. If I win on Sunday it will be to show him that power isn't always in the hands of the boss. The people have a voice too, and more importantly they have the will to fight
Tommy: Wow, that was a mouthful
Ishnari: You talk of the US as if it was higher than the junior heavyweight. A belt is only as good as its champion. Maybe when the US belt is stripped off of Mr X's waist and placed onto another hot XHF prospect like it is accustomed to, THEN it shall be greater than Ace's trophy piece.
Tommy: Ace might have something to say about that
Junior Heavyweight Battle Royal
The bell rings and everyone looks around at first, looking across at one another to see who is going to make the first move. With Shadow Dragon being the Phoenix Champion, Matt Hicks shoves him forward towards the middle of the ring, where Icarus Krazy connects with a single leg spinning wheel kick, down goes the champion. As Shadow Dragon goes down, MBB strikes with a dropkick to the chops of Krazy sending him back into the turnbuckle. Matt Hicks runs over MBB with a clothesline but as he runs right through, Hurricane strikes with a drop toe hold, to take down Hicks. Hurricane leaps up to his feet and turns around to receive a standing side kick from Winter Callous. Venom dives towards Winter, and twirls himself around him, rolling him up, but no pinfalls in the battle royal. Venom stands back up but, Krazy is now on the middle rope and comes off with a bull dog to Venom! Fast paced start to this one with everyone getting involved early.
Ishnari: Now what you want here is the squared circle equivilent of a goal hanger - someone who patrols the ropes keeping fresh waiting for potential victims to come running his way.
Krazy gets up and Shadow Dragon is the first person he sees, a martial arts kick to the rib of Krazy sends him stumbling back a bit as Shadow Dragon continues to send them in towards Krazy. Krazy finds himself backed right into the corner when Shadow Dragon charges looking for the monkey flip and he gets it. Krazy sent flipping into the air, but on the way down, Matt Hicks with a nicely executed dropkick into the back of Krazy! Krazy lands on the back of his head, as Hurricane catches Hivks in the back of the head with a front dropkick, sending Hicks over the top rope but he lands on the apron! MBB comes over to help his partner, Hurricane, and looks for a diving elbow but Hicks ducks and ends up driving the elbow into the stomach of MBB. He grabs the head of the Hurricane, turning him around and then that of MBB and bangs them together, giving him just enough time to sneak back into the ring.
Tommy: Hicks mixing in some of his power, which appears to be making him stand out so far
Back at the other end of the ring, Venom takes down Krazy with a neck breaker and Shadow Dragon comess off the top with a leg drop to Krazy! Winter Callous is up and tackles Venom. After a few right hands he springs to his feet, leaps onto the middle rope and comes back, turning in air looking for a cross body, but nobody is there, Venom moves out of the way! Winter Callous gets up and is holding his ribs in pain and when he turns around, he runs right into Hicks, a spinebuster to the former Phoenix Champion! Hicks asserting his power into the match, now has everyone on him as MBB and Hurricane take out a leg of Hicks, Shadow Dragon flips from a standing position and lands back on chest of Hicks, Venom leaps up, getting some nice height and connects with a leg drop across the throat of Hicks! Hicks looks like he's in a bad way when he's picked up by the other five men. They begin to drag him over to the rope area when Winter Callous gets up, looking to seek revenge on Venom and Shadow Dragon, he attacks Venom, pouncing on him with right hands, and dragging him away back into the corner where he throws several thrust kicks his way. Shadow Dragon leaves Hicks as well now and begins to walk over to where Winter has Venom. Winter whips Venom across, Shadow Dragon leaps over top of Venom, as Venom ducks, making sure Shadow Dragon gets up over him, and Shadow Dragon strikes with a quick kick into the side of the jaw of Winter. The stunning impact leaves him sitting in the corner.
Tommy: Oh my! What a kick from Shadow Dragon!
Ishnari: It's no use knocking out your opponent when you've got to throw them over the top.
Venom has turned his attention to Krazy as Krazy begins to gain the upperhand, some knife edge chops across the chest of Venom, but Venom fights back once again. The marks are left on his chest but with a right hand, he sends Krazy back the other way. A kick to the gut and Venom takes him down with a DDT. Hicks is almost over courtesy of Hurricane and MBB when he gets a foot free and kicks Hurricane in the head, forcing him to let go. Hicks is able to pull himself back over and into the ring, where he turns to MBB. An elbow the back of the head sends MBB back a bit and causes Hurricane to charge Hicks. Hicks sees him coming out of the corner of his eye and strikes with a powerslam! Hurricane is down and now MBB pops back up looking for some sort of advantage, throws an elbow to he back of the head of Hicks, which leaves him stunned, but he is unable to go to toe to toe, power wise with Hicks. Hicks drives a knee into the gut off MBB and then grabs him by the shoulders. He then turns and tosses MBB over the top! MBB gets tangled up with the ropes and lands on the apron. Hicks approaches to send him down the rest of the way, but MBB, looking to stay in this match, is ready to do anything, a thumb to the eye, sends Hicks back as MBB grabs him by the head and runs sideways, driving him head first into the turnbuckle. Hicks goes down but as he does, Shadow Dragon fires the black mist into the eyes of MBB! MBB can't see to get back into the ring, Venom on the top rope, looking towards the ring at Icarus Krazy who was down, turns his attention to MBB and takes advantage. A missile dropkick to MBB sends him right back off the apron and into the barricade, MBB has been eliminated!
Eliminated: MBB
Tommy: That was a joint effort by what three people to get him out?
Ishnari: I think it just might be Kent.
Ace cintinues to look on, letting a little bit of an "ooo" after seeing what MBB just went through. The action continues in the ring, Hurricane without his partner now, and he tries to keep Hicks down before Hicks makes an attempt to take advantage of the situation. He turns to Hicks and connects with the Shining Wizard! Hurricane gets up and looks down at Hicks only to have Venom come up from behind him, X-ed Out connects! Hurricane is out cold, but that doesn't stop Krazy from coming off the top with the sketchy elbow to Hurricane! Venom moves in towards the Hurricane when Shadow Dragon, runs into the ropes, headscissors take down to Venom, sending him through the middle rope and to the outside. Ace reassuring the referees that Venom is not eliminated because he did not go over the top. Referees send Ace back to his seat, and he does in fact go. Back in the ring, Hicks is up and Winter Callous is in his sights. Hicks charges but Callous is there to surprise him with a kitchen sink. Hicks is hunched over but a knife edge chop stands him straight up and Winter Callous connects with a belly to belly suplex!
Ishnari: That Shining Enziguri was the start of a WHOLE lotta hell for Hicks!
Tommy: Everyone is getting their shots in on this guy, is he the next to go?
Ishnari: The eliminatorometre says yes!
Shadow Dragon comes running up from behind Winter Callous and grabs hold of his shoulders, leaping over top of Winter Callous and connecting with a front dropkick to the chest of Icarus Krazy sending him out to the outside through the middle rope as well, joining Venom out there. Ace quick to his feet to point out middle rope again and just like last time, referee's tell him to sit down once again. With Hicks down, Krazy begins to mix it up with Shadow Dragon. Shadow Dragon with some more swift kicks sends Krazy back up against the ropes. He takes a few steps back and charges forward. Krazy catches him coming and sends him over his head, Shadow Dragon avoids going over the top and lands on the top rope. He leaps off the top rope with a shooting star press like flip and takes down both Venom and Winter Callous on the outside! Shadow Dragon has eliminated himself!
Eliminated: Shadow Dragon
Tommy: What the hell? Shadow Dragon just eliminated himself?
Ishnari: The eliminatorometre's off the charts!
Tommy: I don't understand this. Maybe he thought he justified because he already is the Pheonix Champ?
Ace is up applauding Shadow Dragon on the move as Hurricane pulls himself to his feet once again. Icarus Krazy catches him with a spin kick right across the chops and back down goes Hurricane! Hicks is back to his feet and with a boot to the mid section, has Krazy hunched over. Hicks picks up Krazy and connects with the pump handle slam. Hurricane comes up from behind Hicks, Eye of the Hurricane connects! From the far side Venom slides in and he runs forward, grabbing the Hurricane by the back of the head and tossing him over over the top and to the outside!
Eliminated: Hurricane
Tommy: It's true! He can fly!
And now we're down to the final four as Winter Callous rolls back into the ring, Venom hunched over in one corner, using the turnbuckle for support, Hicks is pulling himself up in the corner and Icarus Krazy in the other. All four men to their feet as they stare across the ring, they realize that this it. The next two to go are going home unhappy. Hicks steps forward and begins to call on Venom. Venom charges forward but so does Krazy. Venom goes for a wheel kick across the chest area while Krazy attacks with a front dropkick to the knees from the other side of Hicks and he hits the mat in tremendous pain, not really sure which muscle to grab. Venom comes through with a knee to the gut followed by a straight kick right into the gut as well. Krazy is left hunched over but a desperation move, connects with the sun spot to Venom! Venom goes down as Krazy is left hunched over, holding on to the ropes to keep him up. Winter Callous comes charging towards Krazy and opts to run beside him, sliding under the bottom rope and remaining on the apron. He springs over the top looking for a body attack of some sort but there is Krazy getting the feet up in a dropkick variation, Winter falls all the way to the outside holding his stomach and chest area as he lands akwardly on the outside! The referee comes over to check on him and claims he has been eliminated!
Eliminated: Winter Callous
Tommy: What? But he slid under the rope?
Ishnari: This is an over the top rope competition, and the referee is eliminating someone without seeing them go over the top rope? What pray tell, are his grounds for eliminating someone? I would ask for Rhein to come out here and fix it, but he doesn't even turn up for the shows anymore!
Ace gets up and complains to the referee that he slid under the rope, wanting this match to be a fair fight as he has been outspoken on it the entire way through. Ace continuing to plead his case as the camera moves in to catch the referees response. The referee claims "When he sprung over, he cleared the top rope, that put him back in the ring. When Icarus Krazy hit him, he went back over the top, both feet touched the floor. He's eliminated." After which several replays are shown of the occassion some angles showing that he hadn't cleared it, and others showing he had cleared the top rope, and the side angle (right over the top rope - probably the best angle) showed him directly over top of the rope
Tommy: I don't know Ish, this one's too close to call
Ishnari: Did Ace define the rules of this match with anybody when he made it? I don't think he did.
Tommy: I don't know Winter cleared that top rope or not, it's a close call, but I'd hate to see somebody eliminated wrongfully like this if he didn't
Ishnari: You'd hate it? Rhein wouldn't. You don't seem to be too bothered about the #1 contenders spot going wrongfully to the wrong man.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Venom and Icarus Krazy are working on Hicks, they're both trying to lift him over the top but Hicks has a good hold on that top rope. Venom lets go and delivers some kicks into the ribs of Hicks hoping to lesson the grip as he goes back to helping Krazy trying to lift him over. Eventually Krazy gives up and lets go, turns towards Venom and while Venom is using all of his weight to push Hicks forward over the top, Krazy adds to it, by shoving Venom forward, and right over the top rope, to the outside, Venom has been eliminated!
Eliminated: Venom
Ishnari: Final two!
Tommy: Who's got the JH Title shot, and who's got the Phoenix Title shot!
Icarus Krazy and Matt Hicks the final two remaining, one of them is getting a Phoenix Title shot, and the other is getting a Junior Heavyweight Title shot. Hicks is on his knees, grabbing the ropes, while Krazy applies a few kicks hoping to keep him grounded. Hicks gets up and continues to take in the blows from Icarus, only to begin firing back with some right hands, some blows of his own. Krazy is sent back a bit, Hicks reaches forward and takes him down with snapmare and then drives the knee right into the lower back of Krazy. He gets up and does it again, right into the lower back, Krazy left rolling around holding his lower back as Hicks signals to the crowd that this is it. He's going to finish off Icarus Krazy!
Krazy using the ropes to pull himself up, it takes him a little bit but he eventually does and staggers about, turning around right into a kick to the gut from Hicks. Hicks sets him up between his legs and lifts him up for a powerbomb. Icarus is fighting it, he's squirming about and that leaves Hicks staggering about. He can't see anything with Icarus in front of his face like that and as he gets close to the ropes, both men are sent over as Icarus turns it into a hurricanranna. Icarus holds on to the top rope to preventhim from going all the way down as Hicks hits the floor, Icarus Krazy wins it!
Winner and gaining Junior Heavyweight title shot at Triple X: Icarus Krazy
Runner Up and gaining Phoenix Title shot at Triple X: Matt "Hellraizer" Hicks
Ace gets up out of his chair and applauds their efforts, especially that of Icarus. He then shows him the Junior Heavyweight Title as Icarus gives him a bit of a nod, they know what's on the line Sunday in the ladder match.
Tommy: Icarus Krazy has done it! Sunday, it's he and Ace for that Junior Heavyweight Title in a ladder match!
Scene opens inside Congo's office. Congo is sitting in his chair, twirling around in it. Stevo standing next to him. The door swings open and in walks an angry Winter Callous.
Callous: I know you just saw what happened out there? I was completely robbed of my title shot. I mean first the black mist from Shadow Dragon cost me the title and then a shotty call by the referee cost me the rematch. I want justice! I want my title shot damnit!
Stevo: Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you lose?
Callous: Well yes but didn't you....
Stevo: Then get out
Callous: You didn't see the...
Stevo: You lost, it's final, get out or we'll remove you from the building all together
Callous stands firm and finally gives in, storming out of the room unsatisfied, Congo still twirling in the chair. The camera catches up with Callous walking back to his room but he suddenly stops and takes a few steps back. He glances over at the door that reads Rhein and steps in. Rhein is sitting in a nice office chair with his feet up on the window sill and his shades on. Lizzy Borden is sitting in his lap.
Callous: I know you saw what happened! I didn't clear the top rope! that was the craziest call I've ever heard! And to top it off, it was a cheap tactic like black mist that cost me the title in the first place! When is it going to end! I want answers and I want justice!
Lizzy gets up and Rhein swings over to face Winter Callous
Callous: So? Are you going to do something or just look at me?
Rhein: Here's the deal, I'm going to give you the Phoenix Title shot, but not because of your complaining, but because it's in your contract. When do you want it?
Callous: The only place it counts, Triple X
Rhein: Ok, it's yours
Callous: Thank-you, and that stupid bitch Hicks thought he had things his way
Rhein: Oh no, Matt Hicks still gets his title shot at Triple X as well. The contract for that battle royal clearly stated the runner would get his shot.
Callous: But this my rematch clause?
Rhein: If you want it at Triple X, then we have to cut ourselves a deal here and treat your little match rematch in a manner like this.
Callous: So it's Spencer I'm bumping out?
Rhein: No, see, while the battle royal contract stated that runner up would get a title shot, it never stated that it had to be one on one. When Stevo gave Spencer his chance at Triple X, he said it made the Pheonix Title match a triple threat, but nowhere did he mention in there little agreement, that it had to be a triple threat, he just said William Spencer would get a title shot at Triple X. I'm telling you the same thing. So now, the match at Triple X, is a fourway for the Phoenix Title. The champion Shadow Dragon defends against, William Spencer, Matt Hicks, and you, Winter Callous.
Callous: Ok, I can handle that. I'll be willing to treat this as my rematch in order to gain the title shot at Triple X. As long as I get my chance for redemption.
Rhein: ...elimination rules
Callous: Even better. All it means is I get to pin all three of them instead of just one, thank you Rhein.
Callous exits the room and the scene fades
Tommy: Wow, so last week, Stevo makes it a triple threat and now tonight, Rhein has made the Phoenix Title a fourway elimination match! It's Shadow Dragon defending against Matt Hicks, William Spencer and Winter Callous!
The scene opens up in a hotel room where Harry appears to be checked in tonight.
Harry: I'm not stupid. I stuck around too long after winning you earlier tonight. I'm packing it in for the night.
Suddenly a knock is heard and a voice from the other side of the door is heard
Voice: Room service!
Harry: But I didn't order any room service?
Voice: Compliments of the lady in the room next to you sir
Harry: All them ladies...so little time.
Harry walks towards the door but when he opens it, he is hit over the head with a metal plate! Harry stumbles back and lands on the bed, the man, who we now see is Smash makes the cover 1,2,3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Smash
Smash snatches the title and takes off as Harry gets up, he was simply stunned from the plate not knocked out by it and runs to the door but then stops
Harry: No, that's enough excitement for one day. I'll get him Sunday don't worry
Scene fades
Tommy: Smash begins the night with the hardcore title, loses it twice, but finishes the night, still champion!
Ishnari: I'm more relieved that Harry can get some rest
*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 cheer, 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 arms stretched out. The crowd cheers even louder as more pyros explode around the Xtreme Tron. James spins around and faces the crowd, and recieves even more pops. He poses for the crowd, and Jessica Nugent walks out, and joins James at his side. They walk down the rampway, towards the ring together. James runs up the steps, and spins 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. He walks over to the ropes, and then sits on the middle rope. Jessica bends over, and walks through the ropes, with James smirking. He then walks up to one of the turnbuckles, and raises his arms to the crowd. The crowd does the same, as Jess poses for the crowd. James jumps back off the turnbuckle, and lands cleanly on his feet. He then does a little jig in the ring, while waiting for his fight.
Ishnari: I've got to ask you Tommy, do you really think tow men who have wrestled previosuly tonight can perform at a main event level?
Tommy: I wouldn't think so but if they truly are main event performers then we'll get a main event performance out of them tonight regardless
Ishnari: It's not about how good you are Tom this is about the limits of the human body.
Suffocate by Finger Eleven Plays as Gravedigger walks out with the X-Crown Title around his waist and stops at the top of the ramp, and looks around at the crowd for a few seconds. GD then Proceeds to walk to the ring. Once in the ring GD gets on the nearest turnbuckle and raises one arm, after about a few seconds he gets down. Gd then gets on the opposite Turnbuckle and takes off his title and raises both his arms, with his right holding the X-Crown Title, after about a few seconds GD gets down and hands the title to the ref.
Tommy: Here's the X*Crown Champion. He's busy Sunday so he decided to put the title on the line tonight instead, what a fighting champion
Ishnari: It wasn't his decisiobn Tommy he was forced to! Besides, if he truely is a main event performer shouldn't we "get a main event out of him regardless" if he went double duty on Sunday?
Tommy: ssh, I'm trying to make him look good
Ishnari: Very well but all eyes are on him right now. He's the only man who can do that

GD kicks Mueller while hes down, then picks him up, sets Mueller up between his legs, hooks the arms, and delivers the reality check. GD goes for the cover, one, two, th-kick out!
This is insane these men clearly shouldn't have been made to do this! Neither man can defend themselves from what is thrown at them. We're seeing bumps at an almost inhuman rate!
Tommy: But they keep getting back up for more! Both these guys are looking like they deserve this title for what they've gone through and what they're putting the other through in this one but it can only be claimed by one and right now, I might as well flip a coin, this one could go either way!
Ishnari: Both guys are looking like walking beating bags.

Mueller grabs a chair and rolls back into the ring. GD shakes the ref a bit, then gets up to see where Mueller is, and as he turns around he gets blasted over the head with the chair.
Tommy: Damnit! That's the second time tonight Mueller has resorted to a chair
Ishnari: One day someone will be waiting for him with A CUPBOARD.
Mueller drops the chair on the mat, picks up GD, and delivers a DDT into that chair. Mueller slides the chair out of the ring and covers GD, but the ref still is not moving.

Winner and still X*Crown champion: Gravedigger
Tommy: Gravedigger has done it! And what a night for the X*Crown Champion, how much of him is left for Sunday!
Ishnari: It may not have a singlae standard match on the card, but there's still plenty of reason to catch Triple X. It's the last XHF PPV of 2003! See you there.
Tommy: Bye!
Gastro goes off the air with Gravedigger still down, the title draped over his chest, the blood dripping for his forehead while Mueller lay next to him
Ishnari: Booyak

"Monolith" by Stone Sour kicks in.
"Is this wrong of me? I've come so far, so fast
I'm in the dark about a lot of things
Seems so real - TO ME!
I'VE CONSECRATED!
I WISH THAT I COULD HATE IT
I SAW MY BLOODY HANDS COME CLEAN... BEFORE MY EYES!
And I hear my wants and needs again, can you help me?
And I hear a different kind again, someone stop me
And I feel the strain inside my mind, am I crazy?
And I need to shed my skin, reveal this monolith within"
Clips from the summer of 2003 are shown, including matches between Charlie Velez and Venom. The Two Falls match at Decimation is shown, with Charlie Velez hitting all of his signature moves, and getting the pinfall. Charlie Velez's Junior Heavyweight title defenses are shown, and Charlie Velez's matches at Xtreme Impact and Overheated.
"Visions plague my dreams - oh God, what beast did this?
I couldn't have: oh Jesus, I just don't know
What's inside - OF ME?
I'VE DESECRATED!
MY GOD, I LOVE TO HATE IT!
MY HANDS ARE BLOODY AGAIN, THERE'S NO REASON WHY!
Suddenly the music stops, and clips of the ring is shown, as a heartbeat is heard in the background. The beat gets faster and faster, when all of a sudden, the camera is shown close up of a man looking down at the mat. The heartbeats get slower and slower, and then finally stop as the man looks up to reveal "The Future" Charlie Velez. Charlie begins to talk, but the words seem to be off.
"The Past
The Present
The Future
Charlie Velez
Triple X."
Fade out.
Tommy: Triple X! The date is set! Charlie Velez returns at Triple X!
Ishnari: He hasn't got a match - what's he going to do?
Tommy: I don't know, that's a good question. I guess we'll have to tune in this Sunday to find out
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 cieling 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.
Tommy: You know this night's going to be good, when we kick things off with the big six man tag!
Ishnari: Six man tags aren't used often enough in this country.
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.
Tommy: Former X*Crown Champion now in the XHF Title mix, looking to make a dream come true. It starts tonight!
Suffocate by Finger Eleven Plays as Gravedigger walks out with the X-Crown Title around his waist and stops at the top of the ramp, and looks around at the crowd for a few seconds. GD then Proceeds to walk to the ring. Once in the ring GD gets on the nearest turnbuckle and raises one arm, after about a few seconds he gets down. GD then gets on the opposite Turnbuckle and takes off his title and raises both his arms, with his right holding the X-Crown Title, after about a few seconds GD gets down and hands the title to the ref.
Ishnari: One of two matches tonight for this man. Hopefully his team mates will remember this.
Tommy: Yeah, maybe they'll keep him on the sidelines until absolutely needed
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 Xtremetron 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: Talking of team mates I don't think Reeshi will be happy with his team tonight. At least, I wouldn't be if I was him.
Tommy: I think he realizes it may be five on one odds
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: This man thinks he's the front runner for that title. We'll see with his performance tonight
The lights go completely out, many of the fans have lighters, laser pens, etc and now have them on. Suddenly the screen turns on with a sea of static. The beginning of Burn to Burn by Static-X hits the speakers. The music takes a pause as nothing but a deep, slow voice is heard reciting the beginning of the song.
"Static in sound...
Incurable
You plant the seed...
You feel the need"
A loud and booming scream is heard as pyro goes off at the top of the ramp, the ball of fire followed by the billowing smoke, first thing to be seen is the shiny XHF Title, and through it all, out walks Reeshi, revealing that very title over his shoulder. Reeshi is greeted with the boos from the fans, he takes it all in, ignoring every one of them with the exception of one where he stops along the side of the entranceway and taunts the fan. Once down the ramp Reeshi reaches the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He walks to the far side and climbs the turnbuckle, raising both arms, the XHF Title in one hand, into the air, showboating to hate filled fans. Reeshi steps down and stands in the middle of the ring, adjusting the title on his shoulder, giving it a pat here or there, letting everybody know that the title belongs to him.
Tommy: The XHF Champion, looking to maybe soften up a few people before the big match this Sunday
Gravedigger, "J.L" Jeremy Lewis, Death Trap vs Chris Sanders, Reeshi, Rat Bastard
Reeshi and J.L start the match and they do so with words in the middle of the ring. Reeshi gives J.L a big slap in the face, showing no respect for the former X*Crown Champion. J.L takes a step back a moment and takes it in until he suddenly lunges forward with right hands to the champion! Reeshi shoves J.L off of him and stumbles back a bit, shaking his head, after getting rattled by J.L who is apparently not done, he jumps forward with a huge back elbow into the jow of Reeshi that knocks him right back into the corner. J.L running on emotion at this point, firing more rights to the face of Reeshi in the corner before the referee steps in and is able to get J.L out of there. J.L takes a step back and respects the wishes of the referee but once the referee moves out of the way, J.L is back on the attack. Shoulders into the sternum of Reeshi in to the corner, until about the third attempt when Reeshi locks his arms trapping J.L and drops his elbow right across the back of the head of J.L. That causes J.L to stumble back a bit, holding the back of the head, Reeshi rebounding in the corner. Reeshi steps out and catches J.L, driving his knee right into the gut and snatching up his head, bouncing it off his knee, sending J.L to the mat. Rat and Sanders step in and go on the attack on J.L. It begins with a few boots to the fallen J.L and eventually escalates to J.L being shoved into the corner, shoulders driven into his sternum now courtesy of Rat before Sanders backs him up and drives right back in again, pressure on the lower back and sucking the air right out of J.L. Reeshi strikes with a back elbow to Death Trap and a right hand to Gravedigger that knock them right off the apron! Rat and Sanders continue their assault as Rat whips J.L towards Sanders and he takes him down with the Celestial Spear! Rat and Sanders head back to their corner as Reeshi picks up J.L and shoves him back into the corner, so he is able to stand, Death Trap returns to his corner, as does Gravedigger after regrouping on the outside. Reeshi reaches over and tags in Sanders as Reeshi goes to his corner on the apron, with Sanders going to work on J.L in Sanders/Rat/Reeshi's corner by striking with some body shots, rights, lefts, and even some kicks in there as well, he is unloading on J.L in the corner. The referee steps in there and forces Sanders back, as J.L tries covering up in the ropes, the break being called. While the referee is sending Sanders back, Reeshi grabs the tag rope and begins to choke J.L with it from the apron! Reeshi lets go by the time the referee turns around as J.L has fallen to a sitting position in the corner, clutching his throat.
Ishnari: One team has remembered what they are - a team.
Tommy: But how long will it last with those three egos at one end of the ring
Sanders picks him and brings him out to the middle of the ring where he picks him up in a gutwrench and holds J.L there just a moment. He is setting him up for the Best Intentions but J.L slides down, Sharp Edge connects to Sanders! J.L begins moving to make the tag now and as he is almost there, Sanders moves to do the same. Rat takes off from his corner, grabbing the leg of J.L and pulling him back towards the middle of the ring while reeshi drags Sanders over to his corner! Death Trap scurries into the ring towards Sanders when Reeshi and Rat are back in their corner with their hands up in innocence. They begin to taunt Death Trap, but realizing it's two on one, Death Trap gives his foot a kick and returns to the ring apron! The tag is made from Sanders to Rat. Death Trap jumps onto the middle rope and points over to Reeshi and Sanders "You want to play like that! We can play too!" He is back down flat footed on the apron as Rat immediately pounces on J.L and though J.L is fighting him the whole way through, Rat locks in the Rat Trap! Rat keps it locked in, J.L looks ready to tap when Death Trap turns to Gravedigger and nods. Gravedigger enters the ring, and so does Sanders, cutting him off! Death Trap drops from the apron and runs around to the side of the ring so he's in behind Rat, and slides into the ring. Death Trap strikes with a boot to the back of the head of Rat, and keeps running back to the apron where he begins to climb to the top turnbuckle. He has gotten Rat's attention as he lets go of the Rat Trap, gets and looks around to find Death Trap. He finds him up top but it's too late! Death Trap comes off with the top rope side kick, taking Rat down as he slides back out of the ring, giving Reeshi and Sanders the "I told you so" as he heads back to his corner.
Ishnari: At last, we have a 6-man tag!
Tommy: It's a six man tag, but it's about to become a brawl!
Ishnari: Doh'! And we had to wait for so long just to get one in the first place!
Sanders has had enough already and jumps down from the apron, running around to the far side to get at Gravedigger and pulls him off the apron. As he does, Reshi takes the opportunity to run around to the other side and pull Death Trap off the apron! The four begin to give it a go on the outside as the referee comes around to bring his attention to those four and that allows Rat to get right in there. Reeshi's got the hammer for the ring bell in his hand while Death Trap has the ring bell. Referee has had enough and is calling for the bell! Even though the bell doesn't sound, the match is over!
Winner: Draw due to double forfeit
Ishnari: Argh! And we were so close!
Tommy: Didn't we mention something when this match was announced as to the fact that there is no way you'd be able to keep things under control with these six guys in there?
Ishnari: It is not anybody's job to keep them 'under control'. They're grown adults, they're responsible for their own actions!
Tommy: But they can't, which is what is going to make Sunday so great!
J.L is next out there, trying to aid Death Trap and Gravedigger in all of this while Rat is out there helping out Sanders. It's still a three on three affair until through all the struggles, Reeshi turns around and decks Sanders with the hammer! Sanders goes down in a hurry but pulls himself and is looking to get him some of Reeshi. Rat moves in to help him out, but Death Trap and J.L...they want Rat and Sanders as well. It turns into a four on two as everyone gangs up on Rat and Sanders! Suddenly from the rafters drops that figure again with the cheap Scorpion mask! He's got a baseball bat on him and strikes Death Trap in the lower back as Reeshi places his hand over the face of Death Trap and shoves him down after. Gravedigger receives a shot to the ribs with the bat, and then when Reeshi thought he was safe, he gets one right over the shoulder. Neither got hit hard enough to do any damage but it was enough for the man to get Rat and Sanders to regroup and get the hell outta there!
Ishnari: This whole post match beat down thing that is following these wrestlers wherever they go is getting real tired real quick.
Tommy: I agree, first we had Rat and Sanders as masked men and now this guys showing up, can't we all just get along...and let a match end in peace!
Ishnari: Amen
The scene opens up at a local grocery store where we see Smash inside with the hardcore title.
Smash: Been so busy avoiding everyone, haven't had any time to get my own groceries. Wish this title brought me enough money to pay for somebody to get them for me.
Smash moves right along into the frozen foods section.
Smash: What do I feel like having for dinner tonight. Steak...or
Before Smash can finish he hits the floor. He has been hit over the head with a frozen pork chop by Hardcore Harry. Harry's got his own referee and makes the cover 1...2...3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Hardcore Harry
Ishnari: When you're the 24/7 hardcore champ, the STEAKS are high! Mwap mwap!
Tommy: Nice one Ish, unfortunately he was hit with a pork chop not a steak!
Ishnari: Flair never gave out a chop as devastating as that in his eight decade career.
Tommy: That's because he was never in the XHF
The scene fades in to see the Xtreme Warrior walking down the halls backstage. Mortis is seen down the hallway walking towards Xtreme Warrior. They get nose to nose.
XW: What do you want?
Mortis: Remember when I said sooner than you think?
Mortis then punches XW, knocking him back a few steps. XW looks at Mortis and strikes him with a punch, knocking him back. They both start going at it with multiple punches. Mortis then grabs XW and throws him into the wall. Mortis steps back and tries to deliver a super kick, but XW ducks. XW gets behind Mortis and delivers a reverse DDT into his knee. XW then starts punching Mortis repeatedly in the face. Suddenly, XW gets hit in the back with a chair. The camera pulls out to reveal Kanyon holding the chair. Kanyon throws it to the ground and starts to punch XW in the head. He stands up and starts stomping on XW. Mortis now gets up and he starts to stomp on XW as well. Finally, refs and road agents run over to the scene and pull Kanyon and Mortis off of XW.
Tommy: For the last time, can't we all just get along
Ishnari: Mortis V Xtreme Warrior, one of THREE openweight matches on the Triple X card.
Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson hits the PA system and out walks Doc to a chorus of boos : Doc looks round at the fans and gives them the finger before proceeding to the ring : Doc climbs the turnbuckle and jumps back down...
Tommy: He's making his debut tonight!
A slow, quiet chiming noise is heard, like windchimes, as an image of water slowly dripping down the Xtreme Tron screens is shown. Suddenly, the guitar chords of Underdose by Inme hits the PA system, and the white background turns to dark purple, the water turns to blood red. A silhouette of a woman is seen walking closer to the water on the screens, then just as her whole body is in it's best view, a hugh bang is emitted and a white purple that fades to purple before disappearing, with Dagger on center stage as the singing begins. She walks down the ramp and gets into the ring.
Tommy: Tired of being mistreated just because she's a woman. Dagger is looking to make a statement
Casket Match
Dagger vs Doc
Doc moves in looking for a grapple but Dagger, begins to show off her speed right away with martial arts kicks into the ribs, using both her right and left leg attacking both sides of Doc. She finishes off the combination with a dropkick into the jaw area of Doc, that takes him off his feet. Doc gets right back up and receives a few elbows to the side of the head that knocks him back into the corner. Dagger grabs him and sends him across to the far corner. She follows up, charging in towards him but he ducks down and sends her over the top turnbuckle as she lands on the apron. He turns around and as she's catching her balance, capitalizes by grabbing the back of her head and slamming her face first into the ring post! Dagger falls off the apron and to the outside as Doc follows her out there.
Tommy: That Doc is a ruthless son of a gun
Doc picks her up and leans her up against the side of the ring, striking with some stiff knife edge chops. He whips her right across into the barricade and then again back in towards the ring, the lower back of Dagger, taking a beating. He then lets her go as she staggers back out towards him and drops her with a spinebuster on the outside! He grabs her by the right arm and drags her off towards the casket around at the other side of the ring. He lets go and moves around to open the casket but Dagger fights back, kicks to the back of the leg from the ground. Doc turns and gives her a stomp across the chest, picking her back up to her feet. He tries to pound her head first off the casket but she gets her hand in front and blocks it. A few elbows to the rib area of Doc and now it's his head going off the casket. She then gets down and takes out the right leg of Doc with a tackle of sorts, that shoulder driven right into the back of the knee of Doc.
Tommy: Dagger found her mark and she's hitting it!
Doc is down and holding his right leg as Dagger shakes off the early start by Doc and regains her composure. She picks up Doc, back to his feet and grabs that right knee of Doc, bending it back a bit, picking him up and dropping that knee right across hers, the knee breaker to Doc, sending him right back down, holding his knee once again. And Dagger isn't done the attack on the knee either, still on the outside next to that casket she walks around and snatches up that right leg of Doc. She wraps it around her own, and then grabs the other, holding it back, to keep it from striking her in retaliation and drops to the mat, locking in the figure four leg lock! Pulling and tugging on that right knee, the figure four is locked in tight on Doc. Doc's arms are flailing about as he screams in pain. Dagger finally lets go of the figure four, keeping a hold of that right leg and gives it a few kicks to the back of the knee before finally letting go.
Tommy: Man, that knee is taking a beating
Referee moves in and checks on Doc, who gives him the okay as Dagger picks Doc back up his feet, or should I say foot. Even with Dagger holding him up, he still has that right leg in the air, not putting it down, or putting any pressure on it as Dagger rolls him back into the ring. Doc keeps rolling and rolls right out of the ring at the other side just as Dagger slid back in the ring herself. She shakes her head and crawls across, rolling under the bottom rope where Doc is and is suddenly left hunched over, holding her left leg. The camera finally gets over and there is Doc with an old metal baseball bat! He lured her over there. With Dagger hunched over, Doc still on the ground, but with a clean sweep he is able to strike Dagger right over the top of the head with the bat! Dagger is on the mat and looks completely out after the blow to the head!
Tommy: Damnit! And I thought Dagger had this match won!
Doc clutches the ring apron to pull himself up to his feet and as he does, he tosses the bat into the ring, clutches the arm of Dagger and drags her around to the casket, pulling on the piece of ring apron in front of him to pull himself all the way there as well, still not walking on that right leg. He lets go of the arm of Dagger, she still appears to be out cold as he turns back to the casket. Doc places his head on the casket and as he does, it springs open and there is Platinum standing in the casket smiling back at Doc, shaking his head. Doc, on one leg, doesn't see fit to fit as he hops onto the apron and slides into the ring, Platinum hops out of the casket and slides into the ring right after Doc!
Tommy: platinum! What's he doing here!
He runs up beside him as Doc is crawling away and drops the elbow on him, taking him right back down to the mat and stopping the movement for the time being. Platinum goes up top and looks around to the crowd, he gives them a nod, and comes off with Air Time! Doc rolls around holding that lower back of his after Platinum connects with the air time as Platinum looks ready to leave until something catches his eye. He bends over and picks up the baseball bat. "You shouldn't have used this" he is cought muttering to himself by the camera as he shakes his head. Doc using the ropes to try and pull himself up and escape but as he does, Platinum rings the baseball bat right across the knee cap of Doc! The referee calls for the bell as Platinum drops the baseball bat. By the ring announcers words, the referee chose to stop the match claiming that Doc was unable to defend himself or carry on with the condition of his knee at the moment.
Winner: Dagger via referee's decision, claiming Doc was unable to continue
Tommy: Platinum has stressed his liking of Dagger, was he out here to protect her or break in the new guy?
Platinum slides out of the ring and begins to check on Dagger. He begins to get some signs of life from her and helps her to her feet, guiding her to the back.
Tommy: I wonder if she's even awake enough to realize that Platinum just helped her off?
The scene opens up in the grocery store again, this time with Harry in the fruits and veggies section. He has little express lane cart on him and he is filling it with fruits and veggies.
Harry: There better not be a line. Smash is going to be up any moment now and I need these for the big bake sale tomorrow. Apple pie, carrot cake, banana pie...orange pie? What was I thinking. Put that back and lets get out of here.
Harry takes off for the cash register when an apple explodes over his head. He turns to see Smash standing there and tosses the cart at him as Smash catches it and strikes Harry over the head with it! Harry still got some fight left in him though until Smash squirts some juice from the lemon into the eyes of Harry! The stinging rings throughout the eyes of Harry as he falls to a knee. Smash picks up Harry and slams him down into the fruit pile! He climbs up and covers him 1...2...3!

Weither you're good or bad... Happy or Sad...
Weither you are an emotional wreck...

Feast your eyes on the most furocious fighter that has ever been created...

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...

The scene opens at a local bar. The camera pans around and sees Smash with the hardcore title step through the door. He walks up to the bartenders table.

Ishnari: You can't help but think that it just isn't worth it, can you?
Tommy: Why have a title that has you constantly running and hiding from people?
Ishnari: It's not the hiding I'd be worried about its their hearts - think of the stress!
Suddenly, the arena lights begin to flicker off and on and as the crowd rises to it's feet immediately in anticipation, a combination of loud guitar riffs and the following words slowly begin to echo & scroll across the XHF's own looming Xtreme-Tron above...
"Ill tell you now you cant win this,
Youre way too slow,
Ill tell you now Im gonna take this,
Did you come here to watch me, watch me burn?!"
*Thereafter, the daunting tune of "Burn" by Three Days Grace hits the PA as the XHF's own "Hellraiser Hearthrob" of ALLL the ladies himself, the great Matt "Hellraizer" Hicks then emerges from behind the curtain with KKK partner Fury & the gorgeous Jennifer Dream by his side! Thereafter, once finished making their way on down the ramp to a chorus of fierce boos, this highly-touted young XHF superstar then finishes making his way on up the ring steps, leaving Fury & the elegant Jennifer to continue cheering him on from below now. Once inside the ring moments later, he proceeds to lean over toward the ropes and taunt off momentarily to this entire sellout crowd joining us here tonight, before then finally beginning to bounce back and forth off the ropes awaiting the emergence of any and all forthcoming opposition
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.
"Renegades of Funk" by Rage Against The Machine blasts over the PA System with the all so familiar words, as the crowd bounce to their feet cheering for the fun loving Icarus Krazy.
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
The lights in the arena start flashing widely to the beat as Icarus Krazy runs out to the centre stage, getting the crowd pumped as he dances about a bit. He then stands still as he looks down at the ring, the camera getting a long shot of his posture; he then suddenly bursts into a run down the ramp.
We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Icarus Krazy slides into the ring, almost reaching the other side on his belly. He then imminently springs to his feet and runs up onto the second of the turnbuckle, where he starts flinging his hands in the air, bobbing to the music.
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
He then jumps down and starts jogging on the spot slightly, as the music dies down and he waits for the match to begin.
All The Small Things by Blink 182 plays as Minibadboy makes his way down to the ring on his motorscooter and with his tradition half gallon of milk in hand and starts sucking it down like crazy at the top of the ramp as te crowd goes nuts. Minibadboy whellies down the ramp on scooter and then slides into the ring. Calling for more half gallons of milk from he ringside announcer and suck the down like crazy also,while the crowd goes nuts for one last time
The lights go out. Suddenly, "Creeping Death" by Metallica starts to play throughout the arena. The tron then flashes white with a black dragon's silhouette on screen. The lights then come back on as Shadow Dragon comes out wearing his signature long black trench coat. He climbs into the ring, takes off his coat and stretches as he waits for the match to begin.
The lights in the arena dim. Everything goes black. Then the green glow kicks in and the Hurricane symbol with the H inside appears and starts spinning on the ramp and in the ring. The Xtremetron shows the symbol standing still and then the music starts.
"STAND BACK! There's a Hurricane coming through!"
Eye of the Hurricane hits as Hurricane steps out and puts his hands on his hips and looks up into the stands as his cape billows behind him. The Xtremetron now shows Hurricane flying and giving a thumbs up then gliding behind Earth. Hurricane walks out to the front of the ramp and brings his arm in front of his face making his cape come across and cover from his mouth down as he bends his knees and gives his classic Hurripose. He walks up to the stands on the right side of the ring and puts his second mask on a small child. He enters the ring and gives the Hurripose again. He takes off his cape and flips it to the timekeeper and climbs the rope and looks around the crowd. He leaps down tot he center of the ring, ready for anything with his Hurripowers working. The lights brighten
Ishnari: A throwing contest!
Tommy: I want to know who the surprise participant is!
The beginning guitar riffs of System of a Down's "Spiders" slowly begins to play. Verse one begins as on the Xtreme-Tron the word "Venom" is shown small and growing bigger until it fills the Xtreme-Tron. As the verse ends black spiders fill the Xtreme-Tron until the screen is completely black, then one spider leaps towards the screen and leaves bite holes in the screen and at the spider bits the screen blue flaming pyros shoot from the stage. As the Chorus hits the Pyros die down and Venom comes from behind them walking down the ramp. Venom slides in the ring as the second verse hits and jumps around in a circle. As the Chorus hits again he pulls off the hood of his trench vest and runs to the top turnbuckle taunting out to the crowd. He then runs across the other side of the ring and repeats the routine. As the song becomes slow again Venom stands in his corner and takes off his vest as the song ends
Tommy: It's Venom! Venom's back in the XHF!
Ishnari: Is there anybody LEFT to return?
Tommy: Just seems like Velez is the last at Triple X, everyone is coming back!
'Ace of Spades' by Motorhead hits the P.A. system as Ace walks through the black curtain. He begins to walks down the ramp as pyro explodes from both sides and continues to explode and follow Ace down to the bottom of the ramp. He pulls up a chair and looks like he's going to be watching the match.
Tommy: Looks like our Junior Heavyweight Champion wants a front row seat for this one
Ishnari: There's a seat right next to me if that bitch wants it. We can have a chat about #1 contenders and win/loss ratios.
Tommy: Why so concerned about the JH title, when you have the chance to be the United States Champion this Sunday?
Ishnari: The US championship is a mighty honour but I shouldn't have to be forced into facing giants. One could make the argument that at 80 kilos the junior heavyweight belt is my european, my US and my world championship all in one. Some people think that just because I have a chance against Mr X then that makes it alright for Rhein to put me there in the first place. Not all are so forgetful. If I win on Sunday it will be to show him that power isn't always in the hands of the boss. The people have a voice too, and more importantly they have the will to fight
Tommy: Wow, that was a mouthful
Ishnari: You talk of the US as if it was higher than the junior heavyweight. A belt is only as good as its champion. Maybe when the US belt is stripped off of Mr X's waist and placed onto another hot XHF prospect like it is accustomed to, THEN it shall be greater than Ace's trophy piece.
Tommy: Ace might have something to say about that
Junior Heavyweight Battle Royal
The bell rings and everyone looks around at first, looking across at one another to see who is going to make the first move. With Shadow Dragon being the Phoenix Champion, Matt Hicks shoves him forward towards the middle of the ring, where Icarus Krazy connects with a single leg spinning wheel kick, down goes the champion. As Shadow Dragon goes down, MBB strikes with a dropkick to the chops of Krazy sending him back into the turnbuckle. Matt Hicks runs over MBB with a clothesline but as he runs right through, Hurricane strikes with a drop toe hold, to take down Hicks. Hurricane leaps up to his feet and turns around to receive a standing side kick from Winter Callous. Venom dives towards Winter, and twirls himself around him, rolling him up, but no pinfalls in the battle royal. Venom stands back up but, Krazy is now on the middle rope and comes off with a bull dog to Venom! Fast paced start to this one with everyone getting involved early.
Ishnari: Now what you want here is the squared circle equivilent of a goal hanger - someone who patrols the ropes keeping fresh waiting for potential victims to come running his way.
Krazy gets up and Shadow Dragon is the first person he sees, a martial arts kick to the rib of Krazy sends him stumbling back a bit as Shadow Dragon continues to send them in towards Krazy. Krazy finds himself backed right into the corner when Shadow Dragon charges looking for the monkey flip and he gets it. Krazy sent flipping into the air, but on the way down, Matt Hicks with a nicely executed dropkick into the back of Krazy! Krazy lands on the back of his head, as Hurricane catches Hivks in the back of the head with a front dropkick, sending Hicks over the top rope but he lands on the apron! MBB comes over to help his partner, Hurricane, and looks for a diving elbow but Hicks ducks and ends up driving the elbow into the stomach of MBB. He grabs the head of the Hurricane, turning him around and then that of MBB and bangs them together, giving him just enough time to sneak back into the ring.
Tommy: Hicks mixing in some of his power, which appears to be making him stand out so far
Back at the other end of the ring, Venom takes down Krazy with a neck breaker and Shadow Dragon comess off the top with a leg drop to Krazy! Winter Callous is up and tackles Venom. After a few right hands he springs to his feet, leaps onto the middle rope and comes back, turning in air looking for a cross body, but nobody is there, Venom moves out of the way! Winter Callous gets up and is holding his ribs in pain and when he turns around, he runs right into Hicks, a spinebuster to the former Phoenix Champion! Hicks asserting his power into the match, now has everyone on him as MBB and Hurricane take out a leg of Hicks, Shadow Dragon flips from a standing position and lands back on chest of Hicks, Venom leaps up, getting some nice height and connects with a leg drop across the throat of Hicks! Hicks looks like he's in a bad way when he's picked up by the other five men. They begin to drag him over to the rope area when Winter Callous gets up, looking to seek revenge on Venom and Shadow Dragon, he attacks Venom, pouncing on him with right hands, and dragging him away back into the corner where he throws several thrust kicks his way. Shadow Dragon leaves Hicks as well now and begins to walk over to where Winter has Venom. Winter whips Venom across, Shadow Dragon leaps over top of Venom, as Venom ducks, making sure Shadow Dragon gets up over him, and Shadow Dragon strikes with a quick kick into the side of the jaw of Winter. The stunning impact leaves him sitting in the corner.
Tommy: Oh my! What a kick from Shadow Dragon!
Ishnari: It's no use knocking out your opponent when you've got to throw them over the top.
Venom has turned his attention to Krazy as Krazy begins to gain the upperhand, some knife edge chops across the chest of Venom, but Venom fights back once again. The marks are left on his chest but with a right hand, he sends Krazy back the other way. A kick to the gut and Venom takes him down with a DDT. Hicks is almost over courtesy of Hurricane and MBB when he gets a foot free and kicks Hurricane in the head, forcing him to let go. Hicks is able to pull himself back over and into the ring, where he turns to MBB. An elbow the back of the head sends MBB back a bit and causes Hurricane to charge Hicks. Hicks sees him coming out of the corner of his eye and strikes with a powerslam! Hurricane is down and now MBB pops back up looking for some sort of advantage, throws an elbow to he back of the head of Hicks, which leaves him stunned, but he is unable to go to toe to toe, power wise with Hicks. Hicks drives a knee into the gut off MBB and then grabs him by the shoulders. He then turns and tosses MBB over the top! MBB gets tangled up with the ropes and lands on the apron. Hicks approaches to send him down the rest of the way, but MBB, looking to stay in this match, is ready to do anything, a thumb to the eye, sends Hicks back as MBB grabs him by the head and runs sideways, driving him head first into the turnbuckle. Hicks goes down but as he does, Shadow Dragon fires the black mist into the eyes of MBB! MBB can't see to get back into the ring, Venom on the top rope, looking towards the ring at Icarus Krazy who was down, turns his attention to MBB and takes advantage. A missile dropkick to MBB sends him right back off the apron and into the barricade, MBB has been eliminated!
Eliminated: MBB
Tommy: That was a joint effort by what three people to get him out?
Ishnari: I think it just might be Kent.
Ace cintinues to look on, letting a little bit of an "ooo" after seeing what MBB just went through. The action continues in the ring, Hurricane without his partner now, and he tries to keep Hicks down before Hicks makes an attempt to take advantage of the situation. He turns to Hicks and connects with the Shining Wizard! Hurricane gets up and looks down at Hicks only to have Venom come up from behind him, X-ed Out connects! Hurricane is out cold, but that doesn't stop Krazy from coming off the top with the sketchy elbow to Hurricane! Venom moves in towards the Hurricane when Shadow Dragon, runs into the ropes, headscissors take down to Venom, sending him through the middle rope and to the outside. Ace reassuring the referees that Venom is not eliminated because he did not go over the top. Referees send Ace back to his seat, and he does in fact go. Back in the ring, Hicks is up and Winter Callous is in his sights. Hicks charges but Callous is there to surprise him with a kitchen sink. Hicks is hunched over but a knife edge chop stands him straight up and Winter Callous connects with a belly to belly suplex!
Ishnari: That Shining Enziguri was the start of a WHOLE lotta hell for Hicks!
Tommy: Everyone is getting their shots in on this guy, is he the next to go?
Ishnari: The eliminatorometre says yes!
Shadow Dragon comes running up from behind Winter Callous and grabs hold of his shoulders, leaping over top of Winter Callous and connecting with a front dropkick to the chest of Icarus Krazy sending him out to the outside through the middle rope as well, joining Venom out there. Ace quick to his feet to point out middle rope again and just like last time, referee's tell him to sit down once again. With Hicks down, Krazy begins to mix it up with Shadow Dragon. Shadow Dragon with some more swift kicks sends Krazy back up against the ropes. He takes a few steps back and charges forward. Krazy catches him coming and sends him over his head, Shadow Dragon avoids going over the top and lands on the top rope. He leaps off the top rope with a shooting star press like flip and takes down both Venom and Winter Callous on the outside! Shadow Dragon has eliminated himself!
Eliminated: Shadow Dragon
Tommy: What the hell? Shadow Dragon just eliminated himself?
Ishnari: The eliminatorometre's off the charts!
Tommy: I don't understand this. Maybe he thought he justified because he already is the Pheonix Champ?
Ace is up applauding Shadow Dragon on the move as Hurricane pulls himself to his feet once again. Icarus Krazy catches him with a spin kick right across the chops and back down goes Hurricane! Hicks is back to his feet and with a boot to the mid section, has Krazy hunched over. Hicks picks up Krazy and connects with the pump handle slam. Hurricane comes up from behind Hicks, Eye of the Hurricane connects! From the far side Venom slides in and he runs forward, grabbing the Hurricane by the back of the head and tossing him over over the top and to the outside!
Eliminated: Hurricane
Tommy: It's true! He can fly!
And now we're down to the final four as Winter Callous rolls back into the ring, Venom hunched over in one corner, using the turnbuckle for support, Hicks is pulling himself up in the corner and Icarus Krazy in the other. All four men to their feet as they stare across the ring, they realize that this it. The next two to go are going home unhappy. Hicks steps forward and begins to call on Venom. Venom charges forward but so does Krazy. Venom goes for a wheel kick across the chest area while Krazy attacks with a front dropkick to the knees from the other side of Hicks and he hits the mat in tremendous pain, not really sure which muscle to grab. Venom comes through with a knee to the gut followed by a straight kick right into the gut as well. Krazy is left hunched over but a desperation move, connects with the sun spot to Venom! Venom goes down as Krazy is left hunched over, holding on to the ropes to keep him up. Winter Callous comes charging towards Krazy and opts to run beside him, sliding under the bottom rope and remaining on the apron. He springs over the top looking for a body attack of some sort but there is Krazy getting the feet up in a dropkick variation, Winter falls all the way to the outside holding his stomach and chest area as he lands akwardly on the outside! The referee comes over to check on him and claims he has been eliminated!
Eliminated: Winter Callous
Tommy: What? But he slid under the rope?
Ishnari: This is an over the top rope competition, and the referee is eliminating someone without seeing them go over the top rope? What pray tell, are his grounds for eliminating someone? I would ask for Rhein to come out here and fix it, but he doesn't even turn up for the shows anymore!
Ace gets up and complains to the referee that he slid under the rope, wanting this match to be a fair fight as he has been outspoken on it the entire way through. Ace continuing to plead his case as the camera moves in to catch the referees response. The referee claims "When he sprung over, he cleared the top rope, that put him back in the ring. When Icarus Krazy hit him, he went back over the top, both feet touched the floor. He's eliminated." After which several replays are shown of the occassion some angles showing that he hadn't cleared it, and others showing he had cleared the top rope, and the side angle (right over the top rope - probably the best angle) showed him directly over top of the rope
Tommy: I don't know Ish, this one's too close to call
Ishnari: Did Ace define the rules of this match with anybody when he made it? I don't think he did.
Tommy: I don't know Winter cleared that top rope or not, it's a close call, but I'd hate to see somebody eliminated wrongfully like this if he didn't
Ishnari: You'd hate it? Rhein wouldn't. You don't seem to be too bothered about the #1 contenders spot going wrongfully to the wrong man.
Meanwhile, back in the ring, Venom and Icarus Krazy are working on Hicks, they're both trying to lift him over the top but Hicks has a good hold on that top rope. Venom lets go and delivers some kicks into the ribs of Hicks hoping to lesson the grip as he goes back to helping Krazy trying to lift him over. Eventually Krazy gives up and lets go, turns towards Venom and while Venom is using all of his weight to push Hicks forward over the top, Krazy adds to it, by shoving Venom forward, and right over the top rope, to the outside, Venom has been eliminated!
Eliminated: Venom
Ishnari: Final two!
Tommy: Who's got the JH Title shot, and who's got the Phoenix Title shot!
Icarus Krazy and Matt Hicks the final two remaining, one of them is getting a Phoenix Title shot, and the other is getting a Junior Heavyweight Title shot. Hicks is on his knees, grabbing the ropes, while Krazy applies a few kicks hoping to keep him grounded. Hicks gets up and continues to take in the blows from Icarus, only to begin firing back with some right hands, some blows of his own. Krazy is sent back a bit, Hicks reaches forward and takes him down with snapmare and then drives the knee right into the lower back of Krazy. He gets up and does it again, right into the lower back, Krazy left rolling around holding his lower back as Hicks signals to the crowd that this is it. He's going to finish off Icarus Krazy!
Krazy using the ropes to pull himself up, it takes him a little bit but he eventually does and staggers about, turning around right into a kick to the gut from Hicks. Hicks sets him up between his legs and lifts him up for a powerbomb. Icarus is fighting it, he's squirming about and that leaves Hicks staggering about. He can't see anything with Icarus in front of his face like that and as he gets close to the ropes, both men are sent over as Icarus turns it into a hurricanranna. Icarus holds on to the top rope to preventhim from going all the way down as Hicks hits the floor, Icarus Krazy wins it!
Winner and gaining Junior Heavyweight title shot at Triple X: Icarus Krazy
Runner Up and gaining Phoenix Title shot at Triple X: Matt "Hellraizer" Hicks
Ace gets up out of his chair and applauds their efforts, especially that of Icarus. He then shows him the Junior Heavyweight Title as Icarus gives him a bit of a nod, they know what's on the line Sunday in the ladder match.
Tommy: Icarus Krazy has done it! Sunday, it's he and Ace for that Junior Heavyweight Title in a ladder match!
Scene opens inside Congo's office. Congo is sitting in his chair, twirling around in it. Stevo standing next to him. The door swings open and in walks an angry Winter Callous.
Callous: I know you just saw what happened out there? I was completely robbed of my title shot. I mean first the black mist from Shadow Dragon cost me the title and then a shotty call by the referee cost me the rematch. I want justice! I want my title shot damnit!
Stevo: Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you lose?
Callous: Well yes but didn't you....
Stevo: Then get out
Callous: You didn't see the...
Stevo: You lost, it's final, get out or we'll remove you from the building all together
Callous stands firm and finally gives in, storming out of the room unsatisfied, Congo still twirling in the chair. The camera catches up with Callous walking back to his room but he suddenly stops and takes a few steps back. He glances over at the door that reads Rhein and steps in. Rhein is sitting in a nice office chair with his feet up on the window sill and his shades on. Lizzy Borden is sitting in his lap.
Callous: I know you saw what happened! I didn't clear the top rope! that was the craziest call I've ever heard! And to top it off, it was a cheap tactic like black mist that cost me the title in the first place! When is it going to end! I want answers and I want justice!
Lizzy gets up and Rhein swings over to face Winter Callous
Callous: So? Are you going to do something or just look at me?
Rhein: Here's the deal, I'm going to give you the Phoenix Title shot, but not because of your complaining, but because it's in your contract. When do you want it?
Callous: The only place it counts, Triple X
Rhein: Ok, it's yours
Callous: Thank-you, and that stupid bitch Hicks thought he had things his way
Rhein: Oh no, Matt Hicks still gets his title shot at Triple X as well. The contract for that battle royal clearly stated the runner would get his shot.
Callous: But this my rematch clause?
Rhein: If you want it at Triple X, then we have to cut ourselves a deal here and treat your little match rematch in a manner like this.
Callous: So it's Spencer I'm bumping out?
Rhein: No, see, while the battle royal contract stated that runner up would get a title shot, it never stated that it had to be one on one. When Stevo gave Spencer his chance at Triple X, he said it made the Pheonix Title match a triple threat, but nowhere did he mention in there little agreement, that it had to be a triple threat, he just said William Spencer would get a title shot at Triple X. I'm telling you the same thing. So now, the match at Triple X, is a fourway for the Phoenix Title. The champion Shadow Dragon defends against, William Spencer, Matt Hicks, and you, Winter Callous.
Callous: Ok, I can handle that. I'll be willing to treat this as my rematch in order to gain the title shot at Triple X. As long as I get my chance for redemption.
Rhein: ...elimination rules
Callous: Even better. All it means is I get to pin all three of them instead of just one, thank you Rhein.
Callous exits the room and the scene fades
Tommy: Wow, so last week, Stevo makes it a triple threat and now tonight, Rhein has made the Phoenix Title a fourway elimination match! It's Shadow Dragon defending against Matt Hicks, William Spencer and Winter Callous!
The scene opens up in a hotel room where Harry appears to be checked in tonight.
Harry: I'm not stupid. I stuck around too long after winning you earlier tonight. I'm packing it in for the night.
Suddenly a knock is heard and a voice from the other side of the door is heard
Voice: Room service!
Harry: But I didn't order any room service?
Voice: Compliments of the lady in the room next to you sir
Harry: All them ladies...so little time.
Harry walks towards the door but when he opens it, he is hit over the head with a metal plate! Harry stumbles back and lands on the bed, the man, who we now see is Smash makes the cover 1,2,3!
Winner and new Hardcore Champion: Smash
Smash snatches the title and takes off as Harry gets up, he was simply stunned from the plate not knocked out by it and runs to the door but then stops
Harry: No, that's enough excitement for one day. I'll get him Sunday don't worry
Scene fades
Tommy: Smash begins the night with the hardcore title, loses it twice, but finishes the night, still champion!
Ishnari: I'm more relieved that Harry can get some rest
*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 cheer, 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 arms stretched out. The crowd cheers even louder as more pyros explode around the Xtreme Tron. James spins around and faces the crowd, and recieves even more pops. He poses for the crowd, and Jessica Nugent walks out, and joins James at his side. They walk down the rampway, towards the ring together. James runs up the steps, and spins 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. He walks over to the ropes, and then sits on the middle rope. Jessica bends over, and walks through the ropes, with James smirking. He then walks up to one of the turnbuckles, and raises his arms to the crowd. The crowd does the same, as Jess poses for the crowd. James jumps back off the turnbuckle, and lands cleanly on his feet. He then does a little jig in the ring, while waiting for his fight.
Ishnari: I've got to ask you Tommy, do you really think tow men who have wrestled previosuly tonight can perform at a main event level?
Tommy: I wouldn't think so but if they truly are main event performers then we'll get a main event performance out of them tonight regardless
Ishnari: It's not about how good you are Tom this is about the limits of the human body.
Suffocate by Finger Eleven Plays as Gravedigger walks out with the X-Crown Title around his waist and stops at the top of the ramp, and looks around at the crowd for a few seconds. GD then Proceeds to walk to the ring. Once in the ring GD gets on the nearest turnbuckle and raises one arm, after about a few seconds he gets down. Gd then gets on the opposite Turnbuckle and takes off his title and raises both his arms, with his right holding the X-Crown Title, after about a few seconds GD gets down and hands the title to the ref.
Tommy: Here's the X*Crown Champion. He's busy Sunday so he decided to put the title on the line tonight instead, what a fighting champion
Ishnari: It wasn't his decisiobn Tommy he was forced to! Besides, if he truely is a main event performer shouldn't we "get a main event out of him regardless" if he went double duty on Sunday?
Tommy: ssh, I'm trying to make him look good
Ishnari: Very well but all eyes are on him right now. He's the only man who can do that

This is insane these men clearly shouldn't have been made to do this! Neither man can defend themselves from what is thrown at them. We're seeing bumps at an almost inhuman rate!
Tommy: But they keep getting back up for more! Both these guys are looking like they deserve this title for what they've gone through and what they're putting the other through in this one but it can only be claimed by one and right now, I might as well flip a coin, this one could go either way!

Tommy: Bye!
Gastro goes off the air with Gravedigger still down, the title draped over his chest, the blood dripping for his forehead while Mueller lay next to him
