Vortex Xtreme Wrestling Presents:

VXW Ascendancy
July 5th, 2007
Memorial Stadium
Bristol, England
Capacity: 12,000

---

*We open up to tonight's Bristol venue of Memorial Stadium with the official Ascendancy event banner being displayed across the tron screen above, pyros going off all over the place and a generic upbeat show theme playing loudly across the PA System. We then zoom over to ringside and shortly thereafter the Ascendancy theme ends as the action is about to begin with the first in-ring activity of the night....*

*"Some Bodies Gonna Get It" by Three 6 Mafia starts to play over the PA as Chase and Hoppy appear next to each other on the ramp. They both walk down to the ring as the crowd boos them.*

Announcer: Now approaching the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 700 pounds, The Heavy Hitterz!

Romero: I'm totally digging these Heavy Hitters.
Shining: Big and strong, but need a win.

*The house lights go low as Atlanta's own Sevendust's "Terminator" comes playing over the P.A. system; strobe lights match the erythematic pattern of the drum as the Redneck Renegades image shows on the tron. Out walk The Brothers Fennell Will to the left Chris to the right, and their manager Kole Kaos in the center. Both brothers hold their arms up in the air as pyro goes flying off over them towards the sky in the confederate colors.

I can go way back in my mind
This music thing was a joke
I didn't do my time
They couldn't finally bring me up
Now I do it real tough
And I'm rough

The two brothers make their way down the ramp way Will flashes his grill to a few fans as he walks by Chris slaps hands low with a few others. Kole Kaos pulls him self away from the hands of the fans not wanting his finely pressed suit to get ruined by their grubby little hands.

Come on I'm the terminator for all
Hurry up y'all its time to go on
I love to hate em
This is my story yo

Will rolls into the ring as Chris takes the stairs up to the apron, Chris whips his feet before entering the ring and both men go to each corner standing on the 2nd turnbuckle Will cross his arms in front of his chest and grills the crowd as Chris throws both his hands into the air, Will drops down and bends low sitting like a catcher behind home plate but with his arms resting on his legs as Chris paces back and forth in front of him both of them now with their game faces on.*

Romero: This is going to be a big matchup.
Shining: Well lets see how they fare first.

Tag Team Match
The Heavy Hitterz (Hoppy/Chase Storm) vs. The Redneck Renegades (Chris/Will Fennell)

---

The match begins with Hoppy and Chris in the ring first. As the bell rings, Chris runs and jumps full throttle at Chris first with cross body, but Hoppy catches him! Hoppy lays him down with a spinebuster, and then gets up, yelling with exhilaration! Hoppy then begins laughing at Will, pissing him off, and making him start getting him into the ring, but the referee holds him in place. While the referee is distracted, Hoppy takes advantage and begins to give blows to the head. Chris is trying to cover his head, but no where in Chris Benoit hell can Chris cover this pain that Hoppy is unleashing to him. Hoppy picks up Chris and then walks over to his corner, where he tags in Chase Storm. Hoppy still holds Chris Fannell as Chase Storm climbs up to the top. They both get in position and Chase Storm hits a flying spear! Hoppy rolls out of the ring, and Chase Storm goes for the pin: One Two. Kickout!

Romero: That was close, but the Heavy Hitters are getting things done!
Shining: They just needs to capitalize!

Chase Storm gets off Chris, and begins to bring him to his feet, as he gets on his feet himself. Chris, with defiance, pushes away Chase and brings him to the ropes. While Chase tries to recover at the ropes, Chris tries to force himself to his corner so that he can make it to Will. Will's arm is stretched out like AJ's moms legs at a Korn concert. Chris almost reaches it, but Chase comes out of nowhere, slamming him with a German suplex! It hits, and Chris almost lands on his head! Chase begins laughing, until Chris gets up, and knocks him down with an earth shattering (not literally) flying forearm. With his last bit of energy, Chris Fennell tags in Will Fannell and then runs over to Hoppy, flies at him, and knocks him off the apron. Chase gets up and looks at Will Fannell. ODE TO ANGLE. PIN: ONE. TWO. THREE!

Winners via Pinfall: The Redneck Renegades!

Romero: GREAT MATCH!
Shining: INDEED ROMERO!

As the Redneck Renegades begin to celebrate their big win, the lights in the arena dim slightly. Nobody seems to know exactly what's going on, until light is once again restored in the arena. With the lights on now, the Redneck Renegades seem to have disappeared, leaving only Hoppy and Chase Storm left in the ring. Hoppy slowly climbs to his feet, and kicks the bottom rope in frustration of the loss he and his partner just suffered. Chase storm then tries to calm him down, though it's evident he too is frustrated with what just happened. Both of them stop speaking, however, when they see a figure standing on the entrance way, clad in black jeans and a black T-shirt. With his long black hair dangling down near his shoulders, MGK smirks, and nods his head sarcastically, clapping for the Heavy Hitters, mocking their loss. Chase points to MGK and growls, and then Hoppy seems ready to get out of the ring, when Bam!

Romero: My God! It's an ambush!
Shining: It's worse! It's MGK and Venom!!

Hoppy tumbles out of the ring, and to the outside, as Venom grins, standing behind him. Chase turns to attack Venom, but Venom quickly jabs him in the gut with the chair as well, before dropping it, and then leaping backwards to nail Storm with a pele kick to the back of the head! Chase tumbles to the ground, where Venom proceeds to stomp the daylights out of him! Meanwhile on the outside, Hoppy makes it to his feet, but only for MGK to lay him right back down on the ground with a superkick! MGK then mounts Hoppy, and relentlessly begins to pummel him down with right and left hands, which may or may not make the slightest difference considering Hoppy's size. MG then gets up, and spits at Hoppy, before sliding into the ring with Venom. Venom sets up Chase, and then delivers the X'd out, to a series of boos from the fans. MG grins, as he then grabs a microphone, and hands it to Venom.

Venom: I know what you're all thinking, and believe me, I feel the same way. There's something wrong with this picture, isn't there?

Venom crouches down at the side of Chase, as if asking him, though knowing full well he can't respond.

Venom: Maybe none of you remember, but I could have sworn a few days ago that myself and MGK here came down to this very ring, and politely asked to be placed in this Tag Match here tonight. See both of us love competition, but apparently the two of us are just too intimidating for either of you to grab a pair of balls and accept our challenge. Instead, we had to come out here, and reiterate our message in a more direct way.

As Venom says this, MGK crouches down, and slaps the back of Chase's head as he lays on the ground. MG then shrugs, pulls back Chase's arm, wraps his hands around his face, and locks in the Damageplan!

Romero: Damnit, this isn't right!
Shining: I'm not liking the looks of this at all, these guys are defenseless. What good is this going to do?

As MGK keeps the hold locked in, Venom continues speaking.

Venom: So tell me Chase, do you get the message yet? What about you over there, Hoppy? Do you understand now? The ICONS of this company are now demanding a chance to debut our talents in tag team action for this first time, and MGK and I would be a lot happier if you two would just help us out here, and agree to face us. So, what's it going to be boys?

MG releases the hold, and stands up next to Venom, smirking.

Venom: Are you going to wise up, and get this over with? Or do we have to come out here again next week and do the same thing again. It's your choice, but I strongly suggest you two meatheads get it together here, and choose wisely.

Venom drops the mic, and he and MGK look to each other, smiling evilly, before rolling out of the ring. The fans explode in a series of boos for the two, as they make their way up the ramp. On his way out, Venom lays in a vicious kick to Hoppy, who's still out of it on the outside of the ring. The ICONS then disappear backstage as we cut to...

---

Romero: Well before we continue folks there seems to be some huge breaking news coming from backstage sources that the previously scheduled Steel Cage matchup for later on between Rage and AJ Phoenix will yet again not be taking place as expected believe it or not, although just for the record it's permanently cancelled this time around based on the fact that AJ suffered a rather severe rib injury about 24 hours ago at a live event for the fellow establishment of ours he happens to be employed by at the moment, and as a result he wasn't even able to make the trip back to Bristol for this evening's telecast of Ascendancy. SO, with this in mind AJ will now be out of any and all VXW action until at least next week when he should hopefully be cleared to compete once again by doctors on our company's staff. And as for Rage on the other hand, well apparently owner Alex Reid was determined to get him not just in the ring but still inside the very confines of that Steel Cage this evening, so although AJ Phoenix is unable to be present as his opponent an official replacement has been announced in the form of, not just anyone, but Rage's very OWN cousin and VXW's own Matt Hicks!
Shining: Interesting, so I guess Matt Hicks finally got that long term contract signed with VXW apparently, but nonetheless what a matchup of two bitterly vengeful relatives that's certain to be later on then!
Romero: Yep no doubt about it. Now then, this next match on tonight's card is all about revenge plain and simple. After Steve Awesome's upset victory over Ven-
Shining: Whoa, whoa! Upset victory? You know as well as I do that Awesome had the skills he needed to defeat Venom. That was no upset, that was just an amazing match between one icon and one future one.
Romero: Indeed. Whatever you wish to call it Sam, regardless of him making the three count he sure didn't look like the winner at Rebirth. A returning Spike Kane gave Steve that proverbial grain of salt to go with his impressive win.
Shining: And that's why this match is all about revenge!
Romero: I just said that!

*The lights dim out as a bass beat can be heard, then strobe lights begin to flash wildly to a DJ Box as the open to Adema's "Immortal" can be heard before a huge pyro explodes!

"LET'S PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!"

The crowd erupt with cheers and applause as Spike runs out onto the stage. He crosses his arms in front of him in an "X" before he leans backwards and extends his arms, soaking in the adoration and love from the crowd.

"We're face to face.
Loyalty is what I need to see from you.
Your insecure...I can see the fear that breeds in your heart!"

Spike breaks into a sprint down the ramp and slides into the ring, climbing up onto the turnbuckle. He does the "X" pose once more and then extends his arms again.

"Where will you run?
Where will you hide?
I see the blood drip from your eyes.
Who will survive.
Let's get in on, and
We'll FIGHT!!"

Spike drops back down off the turnbuckle as the fans go wild and the lights return to normal, before the music begins to fade.*

Romero: We still don't know exactly why Spike attacked Steve. But the fans sure do love him for it.
Shining: What do these people know? They always cheer for the wrong people.

Awesomeness isn't a Word, Its A Lifestyle

*That infamous quote shoots out of the speakers like a shotgun as the single vocal note and the acid-like opening guitar riff of Pretty Handsome Awkward by The Used begin to blare from the main speakers.

KICKIN IT OUT!!!

Just as this is herd a blinding light engulfs the arena and once your eyes are able to adjust what you see in front of you is an Awesome sight to say the least. Written in big white neon lettering is the name Steve Awesome that is set against a fifteen by ten foot heart logo. And right in the front of it, was a figure cloaked in a silhouette with its arms outstretched like a crucifix pose.

After the riff plays through a few times the neon lights die down and our replaced by a single white spotlight the illuminates the Blast of Class himself, still holding that crucifix pose. He is dressed in a pair of black tights with a wicked S logo that wrapped all the way around his legs and in the middle of the that is a red heart logo with just an Anarchy A sign inside them. His boots are black with amazing bright blue kick pads. To the ring he wears a navy blue trench vest encrusted with silver diamonds that sparkle in the spotlight. As the verse begins to play he slowly saunters to the ring.

Your dream vacation is my hostage refuge
A work in progress you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile
I beg to differ, make me an offer
Walks on the rain you bleed
Just like you puke while running a mile

At this point Awesome slides into the ring as a light graphic of the heart logo is shown flashing in the middle of the ring. The chorus begins to repeat itself.

Hey, are you okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward

Steve Awesome arrogantly drops to one knee in the middle of the ring the hood of his trench vest still placed over his head. You can see him as he slowly raises one arm and kisses his muscle before flexing and then does the same with the other arm and the flips his hood back cuing up pyro to rain from the ceiling as the crowd boo.

Do you feel okay? (okay)
You look pretty low
Pretty low, pretty low
Pretty handsome awkward

Once the pyro die down Steve Awesome gets to his feet and climbs a turnbuckle and outstretches his arms and begins to explain to everyone just how good he really is.*

Romero: And here is the man looking for the revenge tonight.
Shining: Steve Awesome has been nothing but impressive these days. And yes I draw that conclusion based on his performance in BOTH companies.
Romero: Spike is the God of Xtreme. This match might now go so well with the self proclaimed Everyone's Favorite. Lets see how what kind of revenge he can extract from the Spiked One tonight.

---

Singles Match
Spike Kane vs. Steve Awesome

---

The two men circle around the ring as the bell sounds. Spike throws his hand out in hopes for a handshake but Awesome sneers and smacks it away. Awesome then follows that up with a side headlock but Spike immediately buries an elbow to the midsection causing The Awesome One to let go and Spike tosses him over with a hip toss, but Awesome is able to land on his feet and he uses the momentum to run to the ropes, he bounces back but Spike is able to leapfrog over him. Awesome continues to run towards the rope and back again as this time Spike was ready and lifts the Blast of Class up with a back body drop! But Awesome is a true innovator and is able to quickly reverse the move into a neck breaker!

Shining: Did you see that? Awesome just used the momentum Spike used to toss him over to grab the head of Spike and hit a neck breaker! He sure is quick on his feet.
Romero: And apparently the air.

Awesome gets up onto his feet and does what he does best after performing a big move. He taunts the sold crowd! But all he gets is boos. As soon as he turns around he finds himself in a capture suplex much like Tazz did and Spike flips him over and onto his spine. Spike immediately tries to go for the Burning Hell ankle lock but Awesome is quick to roll under the legs in order to receive as less pain as possible. Spike goes tumbling forward and as soon as Spike turns back around, Awesome catches the arm and takes Spike to the mat with it looking to lock in his submission hold the rings of Saturn.

Shining: Awesome is going for Everybody's Favorite Submission hold here. This could be it!

But Spike is able to roll forward as well and gets out of the hold before its locked in. Before Awesome can realize whats going on Spike already lands a stiff front drop kick to his face! Awesome's head bounces off the mat and Spike starts to climb the top rope.

Romero: Could be seeing the Leap of Faith here.

But we wont! Because Awesome rolls out of the way, and out of the ring! He stumbles backward towards the ramp and lands on his ass. He shakes his head as he screams NO! This isn't happening!. Spike jumps off the turnbuckle and down to the mat, as he begs Awesome to come back into the ring. But Awesome still shakes his head as he begins to walk up the ramp. The ref reaches the ten mark and rings the bell! The ref then raises Spikes hand as Spike watches his opponent just walk up the ramp.

Winner via Count-out: Spike Kane!

Romero: I don't get it? Why did Awesome just run with his tail between his legs?

Shining: He didn't run! He just um..left his stove on.
Romero: In a locker room?
Shining: Sure. He is big money...he gets a stove!

Romero: Well ladies and gentlemen, before we carry on with are regularly scheduled match, we wish to take you a near by hotel with an interview from Chaz Murphy.

*The Vortex-Tron lights up as we see Chaz Murphy standing next to resident VXW interviewer Simon Tucker. They are in front of a sliding glass door that goes out to a balcony. From the view that you see you would think that the floor is very high up. It was. Remember that.*

Simon: Hello everyone, Im standing in with Chaz Murphy who would just like to give some words about his recent victory. Chaz?

*Chaz begins to talk but his locker room door bursts open and behind it is John McMichaels, and two security guards. The one on his left was a six foot two blonde and the one on his right was a six foot seven beast of a man, with a bald head and sunglasses.*

John: I knew Id find you here!

*The blonde security guard speaks up.*

Security Guard 1: Were sorry to bother you sir. He insisted he come up here. What would you like us to do to him?

*Chaz smiles.*

Chaz: Let the old fool, say his piece. He is no threat.

Security Guard 1: Okay sir. But we will have to accompany him, just In case.

*Chaz nods as the three walk into the room. Once inside John eyes Chaz up and down.*

John: I knew Id find you here Chaz Murphy. You just couldn't resist the finer things could you? You want only the best to do those illegal acts you pride yourself on. All I ask from you Chaz is to clean up your act for the sake of the children. So they grow up to be despicable men like you! So they end up with children when there fourteen or just another drug statistic when there ten.

*All of a sudden the guard's speaker goes off.*

Speaker: SHHHHH..we have a situation down in the lobby...do you copy? Over

*The blonde guard nods and looks over at the blonde one.*

Security Guard 1: That's us. Can you handle this on your own Mister Murphy?

*Smugly, Chaz nods.*

Chaz: I can handle this guy by myself thank you.

*The guard nods and then motions to the bald one to come along.*

Security Guard 1: You coming big man?

John: Actually, Id like to request for to him stay, I'm just a weak old man, I don't want to take the chance of this conscious-less man to hurt me.

*Chaz glares back at the old man.*

Security Guard 1: Keep it clean up here big guy. I wouldn't want to come back up here.

*The bald guard nods as the blonde guard leaves. John's glare soon transforms into a grin befitting the devil himself.*

John: Chaz.all along I have been explaining to you that you're a cancer in this world. All along Ive been trying to explain to you that you're a virus! A disease that I must eliminate! And I will do that! Much sooner than you think!

*Murphy smirks.*

Chaz: How do you intend to do that?

*John grins.*

John: With Zero Tolerance!

*Then from out of nowhere we hear the most devastating crashes this world has ever seen! And when we finally realize whats happening, we find that Chaz Murphy is now laying in a pile of glass out on the balcony of the hotel room! John laughs as we see what we thought to be the security guard, standing over the fallen Chaz Murphy and breathing intensely. John then walks up and kneels next to Chaz.*

John: All this time you have been wondering what I meant when I said...Zero Tolerance. Well Zero Tolerance is what just big booted you through a glass pain door. He is the monster of a man that is going to help me enforce my way of life on the world. And we start by eliminating you Chaz Murphy!

*John snaps his fingers and Zero picks Chaz's limp body and and leans him up against the side of the balcony. With his hands placed firmly around Chaz's throat he begins to bend his back across the top of the side bar so that his head dangles high above the ground below. John begins to yell.*

John: Do you see Chaz? Do you see what can happen to you when you mess with the wrong person? Is it beginning to register that I can harm you when you least expect it! I could kill you right now! In fact I see no reason why I shouldn't! Zero..

*Zero begins to push Chaz further down, as Chaz tries his best to fight out of it, but Zeros grip is just to strong.*

John: But I wont kill you. I could but I wont. Because I want you to SUFFER Chaz. Suffer at my hands!

*John snaps and Zero lets Chaz go. They walk off screen as Chaz just slumps down onto the balcony. Thereafter we cut back to the announce team who look rather grim.*

Romero: What a shocking turn of events. We just saw the debut of what appears to be John McMichaels' Zero Tolerance.
Shining: And boy is that guy huge! Did you see the frame on the guy?
Romero: How about the big boot? It sent Chaz right through the glass sliding door.
Shining: I definitely wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that. That's for sure!

---

*The arena turns dark, as the crowd is buzzing with excitement. Silence is then heard, and just like that, the opening guitar riffs and drum beats, to Audioslave's "Show Me How To Live" hit, and the lights turn red, and flicker, in unison with the song. Red and blue strobes, go off all over the arena.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmmm"

The humming of Chris Cornell is heard, and a spot light his the stage, and Mr. Fuji steps through the curtain and stands on the stage, smug as can be.

"And with the early dawn
Moving right along
I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep
And in the aching night under satellites
I was not received
Built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease"

As the chorus is about to kick in, Red Fusion walks through the curtain and the fans go nuts. He stands there, relishing to the cheers, sporting his "Notorious" shirt. He heads down the ramp, as the fans reach out to touch him. He smirks the whole way down.*

Falls Count Anywhere Match
Rob Arnold vs. Red Fusion

---

But before he can get very far Rob Arnold comes barreling out of the arena and cracks Red Fusion over the side of the head with a steel chair!

Romero: Oh My God! What a shot! Red is down!
Shining: And this is a falls count anywhere match! Its all legal.

Rob quickly makes the pin.

1...2.Kickout!

Romero: Red is going to be counted out that easily.
Shining: Well from the looks of him..it seems he it wont be too long now.

Rob is wasting no time bringing the pain to Red Fusion. He scoop slams Red onto the steel ramp and goes for another cover.
1...2.Kickout again by Fusion. Rob grabs Fusion by the head and walks with him to the back. Rob shoves Red towards a set of stares out of the gorilla position. Rob takes a running start, but Red manages to back body drop Rob onto the stares!

Shining: Oh man...thats gotta hurt!

Red makes his first cover.

1...2..Rob kicks out!

He quickly scurries out into the hallway. Forcing Red to give chase. As soon as Red gets into the hallway he is met by a one of those giant plastic garbage cans. Red goes down. And to add insult to injury Rob dumps the contents of the trash all over Red Fusion.

Rob: Like taking out the trash

Rob says as he smirks. He then takes a look around to see where he is at. The catering hallway. There is many delicious food dishes all set up for the wrestlers eating pleasure. But not any more.as there is a hardcore match taking place. Rob attempts to lift Red by the head, but Red battles back with a few elbows to the midsection. Rob loses his grip and now Red is in control. Red hits a devastating side slam that slams the back of Rob Arnold onto the concrete. Red picks up his opponent and begins to drag Rob across the table, sending him through the many different food plates that are out. The final plate was a giant cake, and Red shoves Robs face into it!

Red: This is a piece of CAKE!

Red says with a smirk.

Romero: The puns are really flying now!
Shining: As are the fists.

The cake move must have sent a jolt of electricity through Robs body, as he begins to fire back with right hands! But Red is brawling right back. The two continue to brawl out into a parking lot! The two battle out near a car. A dark blue escalade to be exact.

Romero: Say...isn't that the car that Joe Everyman was driving at Rebirth?
Shining: yeah...I think it is. Joess car could be in trouble!

Rob gets the better of the brawl and hits a good left and rolls Red onto the top of Joe's car. He nails a few stingers before climbing up. He lifts Reds body and delivers a devastating Ciderfection (Stroke), that crashes Reds face through the windshield! Rob makes the cover. 1...2..3!

Winner via Pinfall: Rob Arnold!

BOOM! Ladies And Gentlemen by Saliva starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place.

"Ladies and gentlemen please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe"

"Like nothing you've ever seen before
Watch closely as I open this door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you'll be begging for more"

"Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen"

Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage. He is wearing a RIP Chris Benoit shirt and two arm bands. He looks into the crowd, holding his arm up. Maria Williams walks out from behind Joe and looks into the crowd too. Joe gives Maria a kiss on the cheek as they both start to walk down the ramp.

"Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen"

"Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?"

"Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen"

Joe Everyman and Maria Williams continue walking down the ramp looking into the crowd. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does a Brock Lesnar-esq jump.

"Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You've seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you're still breathing"

"Hold tight cause the show it not over
If you will please move in closer
Your about to be bowled over
By the wonders you're about to behold here"

"Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen"

Joe Everyman walks up the steps and climbs into the ring. He looks around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot from the ring posts. Joe stands in the middle of the ring and waits.

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen

Romero: Well folks this could well be an interesting match-up, no sooner had Celeste LeRue won the title, she now has to defend her Xtreme title in another tough match-up.
Shining: Shell have to go all out, but I think she can beat Joe Everyman.

Symphony #9 starts to play as the lights dim and gold lights flood the arena as pyros go off on the entrance stage. Celeste comes out with Rena Steel by her side flanked by John and Mike Hunter. They all walk down the ring as a red carpet is rolled out in front of them. The Hunters slip into the ring as Rena slips in after them and then Celeste stops at the apron raising her right leg up onto the apron and then her left one making a split as she slips in under the bottom ropes. She then gets up and waits in the middle of the ring for her opponent. As John, Mik, and Rena all leave the ring

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match for the VXW Xtreme Championship
Celeste LeRue vs. Joe Everyman

---

Romero: here we go then!

The bell rings, and the two come straight in with a tie up. Everyman gets the advantage and places her in a headlock, Celeste forces her weight back, before forcing Everyman to let go, bouncing across the ring, on his return Celeste shocks him with a clothesline, taking Everyman Down. She follows up by picking him up and throwing him into the corner, she follows up with some stiff chops to the chest, causing some wooing from the crowd. She then whips him to the opposite corner, and charges, right into an elbow! Everyman then hops onto the second turnbuckle and hits Celeste in the back of the head with a double axe handle. He looks around, and slides out of the ring, he grabs the ladder on the outside and slides it into the ring. As he gets back in, Celeste is stirring, and he goes over to club her in the back, but she punches him in the gut, and follows with a suplex, right onto the ladder!

Romero: Well there's the first usage of the weaponry!
Shining: I bet that hurt!

Celeste stands up, and smiles, she looks outside the ring and goes out, collecting a table, and then a chair, sliding the table in the ring and carrying the chair in with her. She places the table in the corner, and then waits till Joe stands up, she swings the chair, but he ducks, and hits a standing dropkick, sending her flying back into the upright table, snapping it in half. Joe smiles, and sets up the ladder, he starts to climb it, looking up towards the VXW Xtreme title. However Celeste slowly gets back to her feet and tips him up, sending Everyman out of the ring to the floor!

Romero: Everyman is probably broken into pieces!
Shining: What an excellent move from LeRue!

Celeste smiles, and then grabs the chair, and sets it up by the ring ropes, she then runs against the ropes, springboards off the chair, and sentons into a slowly rising Joe Everyman, sending them both crashing down to the floor, and prompting a big VXW chant from the crowd.

Romero: Wow, LeRue isn't known for her aerial ability, but she just pulled it off there!
Shining: true mark of a champion Dan!

Both competitors take a while to get to their feet, Celeste is up first, and she looks for another table, Joe Everyman however slides into the ring, and makes a beeline for the fallen ladder, he sets it up and begins to climb it. Celeste by now has places the table into the ring and sets it up. She then looks up and pulls Everyman down, and they exchange rights, Everyman gets the upper hand, causing Celeste to lunge in with a big clothesline, Everyman sees this and hits a big Leviathan spine Buster!

Romero: this could be it!
Shining: No way!

Everyman smiles, he starts to climb up the ladder, quite exhausted. Slowly however, Celeste recovers, slowly, and climbs up the other side of the ladder. Joe Everyman has got to the top, and hes reaching out for the Xtreme title! However Celeste drives a fist into his gut. She climbs to the top and the pair exchange rights. Everyman then grabs her head and slams it into the ladder. He sees this as his opportunity to reach up and grab the title, however Celeste uses this as an opening, and hits the Bankroll, onto the table!

Romero: Oh my GOD!
Shining: They're dead! They have to be!

Funnily enough, Joe Everyman doesn't appear to be moving, Celeste however does...very slowly, and she climbs up the ladder, and eventually grabs the VXW Xtreme Title.
Winner and STILL VXW Xtreme champion: Celeste LeRue

---

*Suddenly, the arena is plunged into total darkness and the crowd looks on intently with anticipation. At this point, an ominous "Red Fist" symbol appears across the Vortex-Tron and accompanied by it is the loud, roaring sound of guitar riffs beginning to kick in across the building's sound system. Mere seconds later, the V-T screen abruptly shifts to pure static and the tension builds as after a flurry of drums kick in, the following words begin to echo throughout the building...

"You Better Think Again!
Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,

Looking inside,
Digging in deep,
Holding on tight to all that is me,
(No One Takes Me Down, No One Takes Me Down...)

Don't you think for one day that you can kill me,
I'm not a Pawn, I am the KING...,
(I'm Not Goin' Down, I'm Not Goin' Down...)
I AM THE KINNNNNNNG....,
(I'm Not Goin' Down...)
So you better think again..."

*At these very words, BOOM! An overwhelming explosion rocks the arena to it's core and in turn, the entire crowd is on it's feet with fists raised and deafening screams of acknowledgement as the hell-raising chorus of none other than "Better Think Again" by Submersed cuts onto the PA in full force! At this, the curtain flips back and without any further adieu, the sadistically smirking figure of VXW icon Rage steps out and onto the top of the stage! Thereafter, the company's own "Bald-Headed Behemoth" struts fiercely on down the ramp to an overwhelming chorus of boos and jeers from this entire capacity crowd of Vortex Xtreme Wrestling fans joining us here tonight. Moments later he finally reaches the the ring area where upon climbing inside the self-proclaimed "Revolutionary Redneck" of VXW sets off to do his signature Four Corners Salute taunt from each and every corner of the ring, defiantly raising both his fists and a set of all too familiar middle fingers to the crowd. Afterward the undoubted former legend of XHF moves to lean up against a corner turnbuckle facing the entranceway. From there as a sly, wily look of veteran determination crosses his face he turns his eyes upward toward the curtains, anxiously awaiting the emergence of any and all opposition for himself this evening...*

Romero: And here comes the Revolutionary Redneck, ready and looking better than ever for his VXW in-ring debut once and for all!

*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 and scroll across the looming video screen above...

"I don't know what they're talking about,
I'm making my own decisions,
This thing that I found,
Ain't gonna bring me down,
I'm like a junkie without an addiction,

Mama don't cry,
I just wanna stay high,
Like playing with danger or fear,
Everybody's walking but nobody's talking,
It looks a lot better from here..."

*Thereafter, the daunting chorus of "I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy Osbourne kicks in over the PA as the VXW's own self-proclaimed "Hellraizer" himself, the infamous Matt Hicks then emerges from behind the curtain with wife Jennifer Dream by his side! In turn this duo proceeds to make their way on down the rampway to a sea of loud boos, and soon amidst this the former multiple-time XHF title holder in Hicks makes his way up the ring steps, leaving his lovely wife to continue cheering him on from down below. Once inside the ring Matt Hicks goes to lean over toward the ropes and taunt off some raising a set of fiercely clenched fists to this entire sellout, roaring crowd of Vortex Xtreme Wrestling fans joining us here tonight. Afterwards Hicks begins to bounce back and forth off the ropes, eagerly awaiting the emergence of any and all forthcoming opposition for himself...*

Shining: And here is Matt Hicks, a man no doubt going through a variety of struggles in VXW since his rather lackluster debut against Venom, but more importantly though an individual who knows Rage inside and out through years and years of growing up alongside one another in the same family, so this next contest should be an absolute thriller to say the least!

Steel Cage Match
"The Revolutionary Redneck" Rage vs. Matt "Hellraizer" Hicks

---

The two men are standing in the middle of the ring surrounded by all the harsh steel of the cage, the ref is standing next to the ropes by where the door is and he starts to lock it soon enough. Then, as soon as he turns his back again the bell rings and then the two men rush towards each other to unleash hell that only a cage can hold in! Straight away the larger man in Rage asserts his power on the match by knocking Matt Hicks to the floor with a spitefully strong right hand! Matt Hicks gets straight back up but Rage grabs him and whips him into the turnbuckle and follows him, and thereafter he hits him with a massive Lou Thesz Press upon the bounce-back. Rage then grabs Matt's hand again and yanks him up before whipping him into the opposite turnbuckle and running after him again, whereupon full impact he hits him with a huge splash! Rage stands back as he watches Matt Hicks stagger out the corner looking somewhat disorientated. Matt walks into the arms of Rage who hits him with a German suplex. Matt shortly gets back to his feet however and runs against the ropes, then on the rebound he jumps in the air and attempts to hit Rage forcefully with a leg drop, but being the wise veteran he is Rage manages to slip out the way just in time! Matt yelps in pain as he holds his rear end in visible pain moments later. Rage slowly rolls to his feet and he lifts Matt Hicks up to his feet and then hits him with a Fisherman's suplex and he keeps hold of Matt and goes for the pin, One..Two...Kickout by Matt Hicks!

Romero: Fast paced start to this match with Rage maintaining clear control of things so far.
Shining: And considering all the bad blood there is between THESE two of all men I fully expect it to carry on like this the rest of the way!

Rage climbs back to his feet and drags Matt up to a standing position only to knock him back down with a dropkick right to the jaw. Rage then jumps in the air and hits Matt Hicks directly in the face with a falling knee. Matt rolls away in agony holding his face and Rage is soon right back on him and he lifts him to his feet only to whip him into the ropes. On the rebound Matt hits him square in the face with a spinning heel kick as he starts to go on the offensive here for the first real point in the match. Rage falls down but bounces back to a seated position as Matt Hicks bounces off the ropes and while Rage is still sat up facing him he knocks him all the way down with a similar dropkick to the face as Rage's own maneuver earlier on. Matt then goes for a cover attempt but Rage fiercely kicks out on just the one count. Matt Hicks picks him back up to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle and follows him but Rage explodes out the turnbuckle and knocks Matt to the floor after spinning in the air with a huge clothesline! Rage then picks him up and lifts him up onto his shoulder, he then runs into the cage and smashes his cousin's skull into it head on, followed by turning around and doing the same on the opposite side of the cage! Rage does this on all four sides of the cage and then walks into the middle of the ring where he slams Matt Hicks ruthlessly to the mat. Matt is laying near motionless, his head probably still shaking from the effects of such a vile impact with the cage itself. Rage then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and then dives off and connects on Matt Hicks with a HUGE splash. The impact instantly causes Rage to bounce back up off of Matt at least two full feet. Rage rolls a little further over from Hicks holding his stomach, and then after a few moments he gathers himself and stands up looking down at Matt with a familiar smirk of sadistic proportions smeared across his face. Rage then walks to the feet of his own flesh and blood and he maneuvers him in such a way that he can apply the Sharpshooter. Rage leans back to apply the pressure on as fully as possible. Matt Hicks is screaming in pain from the well executed submission by his legend of a relative. The ref is asking Matt if he wants to quit but through the midst of his screams he still manages to say no.

Romero: Looks like Rage is going to try and cripple Mr. Hicks so he literally has no physical means of escape from the cage!
Shining: Which is a pretty damn smart move really! That is of course if Matt does not just quit right here on the spot as things stand...

Matt's screams get even louder as he manages to lift his body off the floor with his arms, he then tries to drag himself over to the ropes but it is not good, he can not drag Rage, and quickly realizing this Matt Hicks has the awareness to roll through and this breaks the hold for good. Rage is quickly up to his feet though and he grabs Matt and stands him up before delivering a hard right hand straight to his face. But this only stuns Matt for a second who then returns the favor and hits Rage in the face causing him to stagger back a little himself after the punch. Matt then grabs Rage's head and smashes it into the cage before starting to use the cage as an all out grater of sorts on his bald nemesis, and it is not long until Rage is bleeding profusely from the forehead. Matt hits him with a suplex so he is close to the middle of the ring. Matt Hicks then climbs onto the turnbuckle then turns and faces Rage, but disgustedly shakes his head and then starts to climb the actual cage wall itself. He gets about halfway up and meanwhile Rage has staggered to his feet, at which time he gathers his composure and walks to the cage and grabs both of Matt's feet and pulls him down before he could potentially reach the top! Matt inevitably lands wishboned across the ropes and as a result he screams in pain and is just dangling there momentarily. Rage then runs against the opposite ropes and then on the rebound he just runs into Matt and he is cracked against the cage. Matt Hicks crumbles over the rope so he is between the ropes and the cage. Rage picks him up and sticks his head through the second rope and wraps the top rope over his arms so that Matt is now trapped. Rage then climbs the cage's adjacent side and he gets partially up and he turns around, looks down at Matts head sticking out and then with no hesitation he dives off and hits him across the back of the head with a devastating knee.

Romero: My god! That was downright horrendous by Rage!
Shining: Yeah looks like there's obviously no love lost between these two as that move could've easily killed Matt Hicks!

The sellout crowd of fans are going crazy in the background as Matt is motionless still hung up in the ropes, and Rage is on the floor in front of him holding both his knees. We see the replay of his knee drop in slow motion and the sheer torque of Matt's head on contact is visibly sickening to say the least. The ref finally untangles Matt from the ropes though and as soon as the ropes are not holding him up he just slumps onto the floor and the camera zooms in on his face and his eyes are open but there isn't a soul home in a manner of speaking. Rage then slowly drags himself towards the ropes where he uses them to help himself up to his feet. He is stood up but very un-easy as his legs are hurting. At last he walks towards Matt Hicks and he slowly drags his body into the center of the ring whereupon he falls quickly on top of him for the pin attempt: One. . . Two . . . THREE!

Winner via Pinfall: Rage!

Romero: And in his unforgettable VXW debut Rage has done it, he's emerged victorious over Matt Hicks inside the Steel Cage and he seems to be the decidedly superior relative of these two for right now at least!
Shining: Indeed, and maybe one of these days we'll get to find out just who would have won between he and AJ himself inside the very same structure but only time will tell for sure so who knows.

*With the cage being raised back up from around the ring a group of extra VXW officials make their way inside to tend to Matt Hicks and Rage slowly rolls from the ring and begins heading towards the back with a cocky smirk on his face as we cut to our final commercial break of the evening before the VXW World Title main event.*

---

*As the fans wait in anticipation, the riffs of "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor can suddenly be heard over the PA system as the crowd all rise to their feet as they away the arrival of the VXW Champion himself, Doc. The lights in the arena turn blue except for two white strobe lights which cross over in the "X" of the St Andrew's Cross of Scotland and this cues "The Boyhood Dream" Doc to make his way from behind the curtain and stand underneath the cross. A spotlight appears on the VXW Title which is around his waist and suddenly the lights turn on as a pyro goes off behind Doc and "Eye of the Tiger" hits the chorus.

"It's the Eye of the Tiger,
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge,
Of our rivals"

Doc begins to make his way slowly down the ramp, high-fiving as many fans on either side as he can on his way down. When he reaches the ring, he climbs up the steps and walks along the apron, where he faces back up the ramb and grabs the top rope with both hands, before dropping his body but skinning the cat over the top rope and into the ring! Doc spins around in the ring as he recieves the adulation from the crowd before he bends one knee and leans to the side, flexing his muscles in his trademark pose. Pyros go off behind him as he does so and Doc unstraps his VXW Title and hands it to the referee, jogging up and down on the spot as he awaits the beginning of the match.*


*Jet's "Rip it Up" starts pounding out of the PA system as Nelly Angel comes bursting out of the back. He runs out onto the entranceway as his manager Joey Hawke slowly walks behind him. Nelly then runs down the ramp and slides into the ring, ultra pumped for his match while Joey Hawke slowly finds his place at ringside.*

VXW World Heavyweight Championship Singles Match
"The Boyhood Dream" Doc vs. Nelly Angel w/ Joey Hawke

---

Ring ring ring! The bell sounds, and our main event is under way with a bang, as Doc promptly walks over to Nelly's corner, and slaps him in the face! Nelly looks pretty irritated by this, and tries to slap Doc back, but Doc quickly jabs Nelly in the face, before tying it up with him in a grapple, and pushing him into the turnbuckle. He backs off quickly, then dives at Nelly with a fist, but Nelly dives out of the corner, and hits Doc with a fist of his own, before chopping Doc across the chest several times. He leans Doc into the ropes, and then Irish whips him to the other turnbuckle, but Doc reverses and so Nelly goes flying into it on huge impact. Nelly bounces backwards, and turns around, only to be scoop slammed by Doc!

Romero: Our VXW World Champion is certainly impressive here tonight!
Shining: Not that Nelly isn't impressing me either! I doubted he'd be able to hang up there with Doc but so far he still has hope.

Doc smirks, before laying in a few stern kicks on Nelly. He then picks him up, and hooks an arm over his neck, before lifting Nelly up quickly for a suplex. Nelly however is able to slide over Doc's back, landing on his feet. He delivers a few very sharp side kicks to Doc's knees, one of which was injured by MGK last week. Doc promptly falls to his good knee, as Nelly runs off the ropes. With a huge amount of velocity in his favor, he delivers a front dropkick right to the back of Doc's head! Doc crumbles to the mat, as Nelly walks over to the middle turnbuckle, and climbs it slowly. He then takes in a deep breath, blinks a few times, then dives off, driving an elbow into Doc's back. Nelly gets up to a mixed reaction, and wide eyed, he runs off the ropes again, and goes for a running leg drop to the back of Doc's head. However, Doc rolls out of the way, and Nelly ends up dropping down onto nothing but ring canvas. Doc slowly climbs to his feet, but Nelly is also quick to get back up. He runs over at Doc, but Doc is able to deflect Nelly's attempts, and backdrops him over the top rope, and to the outside of the ring to the cheers of the fans.

Romero: You called it Shining, so far this has been neck and neck!
Shining: Yeah, but so far Doc has always been able to gain the upper hand.

Doc gets to the ring apron, and brushes some hair out of his face, as he looks down at Nelly, who's attempting to use the barricade to pull himself up. Doc just smiles, as he lightly hops off the ring apron. He grabs Nelly by the back of the head, and slams his head right into the barricade, to the groans of some fans. He then shoves Nelly into the ring apron, and runs at him for a clothesline, but Nelly, still clutching his face in pain, ducks the attack. Doc swiftly spins around and tries the move again, but this time Nelly locks his arm in Doc's, and hip tosses him right into the steel barricade to the shock of both Doc, and the fans! Some cheer Nelly as he shakes his arm, which he apparently hurt in the process of the move. He then looks down at Doc, and sighs, before turning his back to him, and climbing into the ring. The referee begins a ten count, which oddly enough Nelly seems to be okay with.

Romero: Doesn't he realize the title can't change hands on a count-out?
Shining: I don't think he cares, Romero. It looks like he's happy with anything .

Doc however, gets up to his feet once the referee's count reaches eight. He climbs onto the ring apron, and enters the ring. Nelly stands back, making sure to let Doc catch his breath, before running in for a dropkick. However, he waited to long, and Doc just leaps across the ring and clotheslines Nelly in mid-air! Nelly falls to the ground, holding his neck in pain, as Doc sighs. He then picks up Nelly, hooks an arm, and delivers a snap suplex. He then gets to his feet, and waves the fans on, before getting set up for the Genocide Kick. He waits, and as soon as Nelly gets up, Doc goes for it. But Nelly quickly ducks, and sweeps out Doc's other leg with surprising speed! He then runs to the ropes., and hops onto the top rope with some surprising agility. He then stands up, and gives the fans an optimistic thumbs up before diving off the top rope with a shooting star press! He nails it, and then quickly goes for a pin. The ref counts, but it's only a two count!

Romero: Wow, this kid is giving it all he has.
Shining: Ladies and gents, don't be surprised if we have quite the upset here tonight.

Nelly sighs, and gets up to his feet. He looks to the outside of the ring, where a furious Joey Hawk is screaming orders at him. He shrugs, then turns around, and helps lift Doc to his feet. He then pulls Doc in under his arm, and looks to be going for an implant DDT. However, at the very last second, Doc reverses into a northern lights suplex! Doc holds the bridge, and the referee counts! 1, 2, kickout! Nelly rolls over his shoulders and springs to his feet, and so does Doc. Both men turn around, and Nelly catches Doc in the leg with a kick, as Doc catches Nelly in the jaw with a jab. Both men stumble back, but this time Nelly gets a little bit overzealous, and goes for a jumping round house kick, but Doc ducks it, and nails the Genocide Kick!

Romero: Genocide Kick! It's OVER!
Shining: Wait, wait right there!

As Doc nails the move, Nelly flies out of the ring, and to the outside. Doc kicks the ropes angrily, because clearly he can't make a pin on the outside of the ring. Quickly, he slides out of the ring, and grabs Nelly, before rolling him into the ring quickly. He goes for the pin, and the referee counts, but only gets 2 and 1/2!!

Romero: Nelly kicked out!
Shining: To be fair, it took a lot longer for Doc to make the pin that time.

Doc angrily snatches up Nelly, and prepares him for a piledriver. He lifts Nelly up, but something is wrong. Nelly swings up all the way onto Doc's shoulders, then swiftly swings back, and nails Doc with a hurricanranna! The fans go wild as Nelly starts to get to his feet. Delusional to some extent from the Genocide Kick earlier, he grabs a hold of the top rope, and the points up to the sky. Meanwhile, without his knowledge, Doc slowly climbs to his feet. Nelly then leaps up, planting his feet on the middle rope, then leaps back with a springboard body splash, but as he turns around in mid-air, Doc catches him with the GENOCIDE KICK for the second time!!!! Doc then falls down, and makes the pin. He gets a 1, 2, 3!

Winner and STILL VXW World Champion: "The Boyhood Dream" Doc

As "Eye of the Tiger" hits, Doc slowly climbs to his feet, and is awarded the VXW World Championship. He raises it in the air and smiles, when out of nowhere, he turns right into a skull cracking chair shot from MGK! The fans fill the arena with boos, as MGK silently drops the chair. He then pulls some hair out of his face, as he stares down at Doc with a blank face. He looks back over at Nelly, and chuckles, before turning his attention to Doc once more. He grabs Doc by the hair, and begins to pull the VXW Champion up to his feet, seething the entire time. He looks Doc in the eyes, and screams "Remember THIS?" before hoisting Doc up onto his shoulders. The fans of VXW watch in chagrin, as MGK swings Doc's body over his head, and then lands on top of Doc as he slams him into the mat, with the Defamation! The fans continue to boo as MGK nips up to his feet, and smirks. He looks around for a microphone, and it doesn't take long for a fearful ring announcer to give him one.

MGK: See Doc, when Venom and I said we were taking over this show, we meant it. Something you seem to have in common with those idiots the "Heavy Hitters" is that neither of you ever seem to plan ahead. I mean sure, maybe their warning was a little more evident, because Venom and I directly challenged them earlier this week. But you had to know that I wasn't just going to let you walk away with my title that easily, did you? The Heavy Hitters are lucky; they got two warnings in one week. I don't plan on being that kind to you, you stupid son of a bitch.

As he says this MGK lays in a brutal kick to Doc's head.

MGK: THIS is your one and only warning, Doc. I want my title back, and I'm coming for it at full force. You think you won the war between us? Trust me, you haven't won a thing yet. It's going to take more than what you've got to offer to keep me away from you and that belt, just be grateful that I'm letting you know what's coming ahead of time.

And with that, MGK drops the mic, as "Refuse/Resist" by Sepultura begins to blare over the speakers. The fans heavily boo MGK, as he laughs. He picks up Doc's VXW Championship belt, and raises it over his head, smiling,as he stands over Doc arrogantly. As the VXW logo flashes at the bottom of the screen, we end this week's edition of Ascendancy on a rather dim note for our VXW Champion. Good night everybody, and stay tuned next week for more action packed VXW action!
