*Camera shows Rat Bastard holding the XHF Championship in the Annihilation Complex, in black and white with static surrounding it. Reeshi taking Joey Ryan out at Decimation last month, and then him looking up the ramp at something. Rat taunting with all of X*Crown belts, as a mans voice enters the mix.*
Anger: A strong feeling of displeasure or hostility.
*A shot of Destruction giving Scorpion a sledgehammer shot is shown in the same style as the Rat/Reeshi thing, as well as Scorpion applying a Scorpion Lock to somebody. Destruction giving Goldberg the Knee To Face passes by, as well as Scorpion climbing the ladder and grabbing the XHF Championship.*
Anger rushes through these men and women tonight.
It becomes a pain for them, and they search for a way to stop it.
*Shots of the first ever Greenhouse match passes by, with Rhein goring Brain Doggy Dog through the cell. Mongo hitting Destruction in the back with a steel chair inside a Greenhouse is also shown, as well as Millennium falling through the top of three levels of Greenhouses. A heartbeat is heard.*
Anger is what tonight is about. (Get away from me.)
Stopping the anger is the first step. (You cant do it, you just cant!)
*Sanders attacking Lance Storm is shown from Decimation last month, and then the superkick from the XHF Birthday Show from Lance Storm to Chris Sanders. Sanders wrapping his arms around Trish is played, and Lance Storm holding all of his titles. The images begin to get red, and then darker red in each heart beat.*
(What is the meaning of this!? Help me!) You cant deny the truth.
(No!) Yes, this is the night.
*Action shots from Rage and Gravedigger flashes by, as well as Junior Heavyweights. Charlie Velez and Venom getting into fights, and Destruction stabbing Rhein in the head with a pen. Mongo giving Scorpion a chokeslam, and then Rat Bastard flying off the top with a Drop Of 1000 Bastards. The beat gets faster and faster and the screen gets red, and once the heart beat stops, the red stops. The screen is black, and the voice comes back.*
Anger fills everybody.
Tonight these men have the power to use it.
This is fury.
This is chaos.
This is Overheated.
*Cameras go to the arena and Wall Of Shame by Course Of Nature hits, as pyros explode revealing the Overheated set. The song continues to play over the PA, as the fans are on their feet. The camera shows the whole arena, and then zooms into the ring with the Bonnie Jenkins in the ring.*
Bonnie: Please let me introduce you all to our special ring announce, Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter!
*Down Under by Men At Work hits, and Steve Irwin makes his way down the ramp. The fans give him a good ovation, as he walks down the ramp giving fans high fives. He gets to the ring and turns to the side and sits next to Jerry The King Lawler and Michael Cole.*
Cole: Welcome Mr. Irwin!
Crocodile Hunter: Ah, call me Steve.
King: Hey there Steve.
CH: Call me Mr. Irwin.
Cole: Haha, tonight is going to be great.
*"Whatever" by Our Lady Peace hits the speakers as the crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers and boos, for the greatest technical wrestler has arrived! Chris Benoit smirks at the people in the arena, looking around before walking to the ring, his arms raised into the air. He rolls into the ring, the same confident smirk on his face as he circles the ring once, letting everyone take a picture of this great superstar.*
CH: Ah, whos this?
King: Thats Chris Benoit, the greatest technical wrestler in the world today.
CH: Then this should be great.
King: Yes it shall.
*"Who betta than Kanyon!" blasts over the PA system. Kanyon comes out arms stretched, walking down the ramp. He points to himself while shouting to crowd how good he is. Kanyon then climbs up the steps and into the ring. He grabs a microphone and says, "Who betta than Kanyon!" To which the crowd responds, "Everybody!" Kanyon then responds, "Nobody!" He then walks to the corner to wait for the match to start.*
Cole: Will Chris Benoit be better than Kanyon tonight?
King: I dont think so, nobodys betta than Kanyon!
XHF European Championship Number One Contendership
Kanyon vs. Chris Benoit
*Benoit looks ready to lock up and does so with Kanyon, taking him down with arm drag, locking his arms around the arm of Kanyon and pulling back applying a an arm bar variation on the ground to Kanyon. Kanyon reaches out for the ropes but doesnt find them theyre just out of reach. Kanyon reaches over with the other arm and is able to flip over with an arm bar of his own to Benoit. But Benoits technical background is that much more enhanced then that of Kanyons and Benoit immediately gets his head up and locks in a head scissors. Kanyon pushes out with his feet, escaping the hold and tries to get to his feet, but Benoit locks his arms around the head of Kanyon, with a headlock variation. Kanyon backs into the corner and Benoit keeps the hold locked in until Kanyon turns around, picks up Benoit and places him on the top turnbuckle.*
Cole: Kanyon could be going for something here.
CH: That would hurt wouldnt it?
King: Duh.
*Kanyon fires at him with some right hands but after about the fourth one, Benoit catches the arm of Kanyon. Benoit stands up on the middle rope and jumps over Kanyon, keeping a hold of the arm and pulling him over with another arm drag take down, this one from the top rope and he locks in the arm bar once again! Benoit pulls tighter on the arm of Kanyon but Kanyon is able to maneuver himself to the point where he gets his feet into the ropes and Benoit is forced to break up the hold. He keeps it locked in forcing the referee to make a five count and Benoit lets go after four.*
CH: Hes working on the arm so much that hes blowing the referee off!
Cole: Youll probably see that a lot tonight.
*Benoit gets up and whips Kanyon into the turnbuckle, following it up with a clothesline. Kanyon left in the corner and Benoit begins firing away with some knife-edge chops. Kanyons chest gets red with the impact of the chops and Benoit simply whips him across into the other corner. Kanyon staggers out and Benoit catches him with a boot to the midsection followed by a snap suplex, rolling into the cover 1,2, Kanyon gets the shoulder up just in time. Benoit gets up, picking Kanyon up as well, grabbing the wrist of Kanyon and pulling it around his back for a wristlock, working on the same arm he did with the arm bar. Kanyon tries to avoid it with an elbow to the side of the head of Benoit but Benoit moves out of the way, avoiding contact. Kanyon reaches down for the feet of Benoit and the lunges up with the elbow, surprising Benoit and this time connecting, releasing the hold as Benoit staggers back. Kanyon turns around and takes down Benoit with a heavy clothesline. Kanyon uses the ropes to pull himself right back up as he catches Benoit coming to his feet and takes him back down with a swinging neckbreaker, the momentum starting to shift.*
CH: Great wrestling by that Kanyon guy.
King: Nobody betta!
*Kanyon falls back and goes for the cover 1,2, Benoit gets the shoulder up. Kanyon begins to apply the boots to Benoit, kicking him all the way to his feet where a right hand sends Benoit into the ropes. Benoit, now leaning towards the ropes and Kanyon charges in towards him but Benoit ducks under and back body drops Kanyon over the top and to the outside! Benoit drops down to the outside and picks up Kanyon. Benoit attempts the irish whip into the steel ring post but Kanyon reverses and Benoit catches it hard with the side of his head, sending him staggering to the mats. Kanyon walks back over to Benoit and rolls him back into the ring, following close behind him. Kanyon climbs into the ring and picks up Benoit, sending him back into the corner with a few hard rights. Kanyon sends Benoit across to the far turnbuckle and charges, driving his shoulders into the gut of Benoit.*
Cole: Kanyon has a good strategy.
King: And that is?
Cole: Just watch the match.
*Benoit hunches over before falling to the mat, Kanyon watching him. Benoit begins using the turnbuckle to help himself up when Kanyon grabs the legs of Benoit and locks in a Boston Crab in the turnbuckle! The referee begins to count, trying to break up the hold, for it is in the ropes, but Kanyon holds on as long as he can, Benoit screaming in pain! Kanyon eventually does let go, turns and sits on that top turnbuckle. Kanyon waits for Benoit to get up and comes off the top looking for the double axe handle but Benoit side steps it and catches him with a crippler crossface!*
Cole: Crippler Crossface!
CH: Look at his neck!
*The crossface is locked in and Kanyon is already desperately reaching for the ropes, finding no other way out of the hold. Kanyon reaching desperately but Benoit has him in the middle of the ring. Kanyon begins moving closer, inching closer to the ropes as he pulls himself along the mat with the other hand. Benoit, pulling back on the hold, tightening the hold, Kanyons been in it for quite some time now but with one final reach, Kanyon gets a hold of the ropes!*
Cole: Kanyon breaks the hold!
CH: Damn this show only got started and its great.
King: I totally agree.
*Benoit is forced to break of the hold as Kanyon is hunched up, pulling himself right into the ropes, trying to buy himself some more time. Benoit applies a few boots to the back of Kanyon, trying to pull him away from the ropes. Eventually Benoit grabs the leg of Kanyon and pulls him back out towards the middle of the ring. Benoit grabs one foot of Kanyon but when going for the other, Kanyon kicks him in the gut. Benoit hunched over, and another kick from Kanyon connects with the side of Benoits head. That gives Kanyon enough time to get to his feet. Kanyon goes for a right hand but Benoit ducks, locks his hands around the waist of Kanyon going for a German Suplex. Kanyon wraps his foot around that of Benoit's, blocking the move and connects with an elbow Kanyon turns around and drives Benoit into the mat with a piledriver!*
King: Jesus look how he landed.
Cole: That could break the neck and is a very dangerous move.
*Kanyon falls back for the cover but Benoit again kicks out after two. Kanyon gets up and meets Benoit to his feet as well. Benoit however, ducks under, sliding in behind Kanyon and delivers a stiff German Suplex! Benoit keeps hold, and rolls through, picking up Kanyon again with a another German! Followed by a third! Benoit releases the grip and slowly crawls over to make the cover. 1,2 Kanyon somehow gets the shoulder up once again!*
Cole: And what a way to start off Overheated!
CH: Ive seen this for about five minutes, and Im already loving it!
*Benoit slowly climbs to his feet and picks up Kanyon with him. the referee begins to move around to the other side and Kanyon takes advantage with a low blow to Benoit! Benoit is hunched over and falls to his knees, giving Kanyon some more time. Kanyon wraps him arm around Benoit, setting him up for the Flatliner! Kanyon pulls back and down they go, but on the way down, Benoit breaks the grip and grabs the arm of Kanyon, they hit the mat and Benoit wraps his hands around the head of Kanyon, Benoit has reversed the Flatliner into the Crossface!*
Cole: What a reversal!
CH: That was great!
King: Can this night get any better?
*Kanyon struggles for a moment and reaches for the ropes, but the first time around took too much out of him and Kanyon taps!*
Winner and number one contender for the European Championship: Chris Benoit
Cole: And the winner of this match will face the winner of Rage vs. Gravedigger later tonight, on Gastro.
*The ring crew sets up the cage for the Hardcore title match. They dismantle the actual ring itself to be but a flat platform. Weapons are placed on the top of the cage and thumbtacks are placed everywhere outside of the ring and the ring crew leaves.*
CH: Whats that for?
King: Its for the Hardcore Championship match.
Cole: Yeah, it will be crazy.
*Awake by Godsmack plays over the speakers. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed like an X in front of his face. He then slowly separates his arms, but picks up speed until they fully extend. He then walks to the ring, climbs up the apron, and walks over the top rope. He then tightens his gloves and cracks his knuckles as he waits for the match to begin.*
Cole: This man created this match.
CH: Hes crazy.
*"Man in a Box" hits the arena and Hardcore Harry comes from behind the curtain and shows off by putting his hands in the air. Harry then points to the crowd to get them riled up. Harry then heads to the ring and Harry then goes right over the top rope. He gets in and goes to the top rope to raise his arms. When he does that he gets a loud burst of cheers followed by Harry chants. He stands in the corner and waits for his opponent.*
Cole: Can Harry make it six times?
King: I hope not, Mongo Corp needs some more gold.
XHF Hardcore Championship Tournament
Hardcore Harry vs. Mr. X
*Both men take a look around at the insane structure as the ref retreats out the door and locks it up as he is not needed in the ending of this match.*
King: Go put your feet up ref, but watch out for flying limbs.
*Both men begin to pace around the ring then meet up in the center with a lock up. Mr. X gets the upper hand and moves behind Harry with a waist lock and Harry breaks it with two consecutive back elbows to the face to release the hold. Harry then turns around and grabs Mr. X by the wrist and whips him to the edge of the ring, but Mr. X is able to balance and not fall over the edge. Mr. X turns back towards Harry and catches a boot to the stomach followed by Harry shoving Mr. X's head between his legs. Harry then calls for a power bomb onto the tacks, but Mr. X sweeps the legs from under Harry and then stomps Harry in the nuts.*
Cole: It's all legal in this match.
King: Hehe, the ref is still telling them to stop it from ringside! He spent six months learning how to not tolerate this kind of behavior, and now he has to watch it!
Cole: Seeing a guy get stomped in the nuts doesn't make me feel great either.
*Harry screams in pain as Mr. X moves away from the edge of the ring and over to the head of Harry. Harry rolls over onto his stomach holding his lower area as Mr. X drives the toe of his boot into the back of Harry's head and steps down. Mr. X presses down on the head of Harry for several seconds as Harry screams and then Mr. X slowly releases and reaches down and lifts Harry up.*
King: Don't release you idiot! You can hold it for twenty minutes no one's going to stop you!
*Harry seems dazed in pain as Mr. X sends a right hand to the head of Harry and Harry staggers back to the edge of the ring. Mr. X then grabs Harry by the throat and Harry retaliates with a kick to the groin of Mr. X and a T Bone suplex off the side of the ring and Mr. X lands in a pile of tacks!*
CH: Those little fellahs nip like there's no tomorrow!
*Mr. X screams in pain and tries to roll out of the tacks, but only rolls onto more tacks. *
King: Whoopsie!
*Mr. X slowly gets to his feet and begins picking tacks out. As Mr. X turns back to the ring Hardcore Harry jumps off the apron and hits Mr. X with a double axe handle. Mr. X stumbles back into the cage and Harry turns and reaches under the ring where he pulls out a table. Harry then turns his attention back to Mr. X and sends punches to the head of Mr. X. Harry then swings with consecutive right hands then grabs Mr. X by the head and turns him to ram him head first into the cage, but Mr. X gets his foot up and blocks it then Mr. X grabs him by the back of the head and drives Harry's head into the cage. Mr. X then sends Harry's head into the cage two more times. Harry is dazed and Mr. X seems in pain, but X seems to be recovering. Mr. X then pushes Harry back first into the table and punches Harry onto the table. Mr. X then climbs back up onto the ring. Mr. X reaches over and lifts Harry to his feet and again grabs him by the throat and choke slams Harry through the table!*
Cole: Chokeslam! Through the table!
*Mr. X then hops down and begins to go for the cover, but then realizes that it cannot end on a pin.*
King: D'oh!
*Mr. X then walks around the ring looking for some way to get to the top. Mr. X rips at the cage door but nothing happens. Mr. X then seems to have an idea and he turns back to the ring where he lifts up the ring apron and begins searching for something. Mr. X seems to take several minutes to do so, but then finds and pulls out a sledge hammer. Harry is now starting to move and he gets to his feet and stumbles onto the ring edge. Harry slowly rolls onto the ring and gets to his feet as Mr. X swings the hammer at the cage lock. Mr. X swings several times until the lock finally busts. Harry is now to his feet as Mr. X tosses the sledge hammer aside. Mr. X then turns back towards the ring as Hardcore Harry runs and flies at Mr. X. X and Harry both stumble back and through the door. Both men stumble back onto the ring ramp. Harry begins striking Mr. X with right hands to the head and Mr. X stumbles back. Harry then grabs Mr. X by the head and lifts him high in the air then drops him down with a stalling suplex onto the steal ramp.*
King: That stalling only makes it seem worse, doesn't it? WHY?!
*Harry then gets up to his feet and lifts Mr. X back up. Harry grabs X by the back of the head and drags him over to the side of the cage and rams X head first into the cage. Mr. X stumbles back and falls into a sitting position and Hardcore Harry begins to climb the side of the cage. Harry seems to be having a lot of trouble getting up the side as Mr. X slowly gets to his feet. Harry is now about six feet up and Mr. X is to his feet. Mr. X runs to the cage and halts Harry from going further by grabbing him by the leg.*
CH: Grab it and don't let go of the critter. Harry's shaking and kicking he doesn't like this one bit!
*Harry tried to kick away Mr. X with his left leg but is unsuccessful and X grabs the top of Harry's trunks and pulls Harry off the cage sending him crashing to the ground. Mr. X then waists no time on Harry and begins to climb the cage himself. Mr. X is half way up before Harry begins to move. Harry gets up to his feet and stumbles around as Mr. X is now at the top of the cage and swinging himself onto the top. Mr. X then begins to search for a weapon of choice as Harry begins to climb the cage as well. Mr. X finds a weapon he likes with a 2x4 wrapped in barb wire. Harry reaches the top as Mr. X raises the 2x4 as Harry rolls up onto the top of the cage and as soon as Harry gets to his feet Mr. X breaks the 2x4 in half over the head of Hardcore Harry. Somehow Harry manages not to fall, but a half of the 2x4 is hanging from his head by a piece of barb wire.*
CH: That got him!
*Mr. X reaches and yanks the half of the 2x4 and the barb wire from the head of Harry and Harry immediately begins to bleed from where the barb wire ripped him open. Mr. X then looks around and finds a baking pan. Mr. X runs at a dazed and bloody Harry with the baking pan lifted in the air and Harry somehow ducks and sends Mr. X flying with a back body drop. The baking pan goes flying out of the hand of Mr. X as he is back body dropped over the edge, but Mr. X somehow manages to grab the top of the cage and hang on.*
Cole: The crowd are in shock at what they are seeing!
*Mr. X is hanging on for dear life as Harry begins to come back to his senses. Harry wipes the blood from his face only for more blood to flood out of the cut on his head. Harry walks around slowly looking for a weapon to use as Mr. X slowly pulls himself up and climbs back onto the top of the cage. Hardcore Harry finds a Singapore cane and turns back to Mr. X as Mr. X is now to his feet. Before Mr. X can do a thing Hardcore Harry smashes Mr. X over the head of Mr. X. Harry again hits X over the head again and again. Mr. X is dazed as Harry drops the cane and grabs Mr. X by the neck with both hands. Hardcore Harry seems ready to slam Mr. X with a running choke bomb, but Mr. X blocks the hold with a boot to the nuts of Harry. Harry stumbles back holding his lower extremities as Mr. X recovers from the cane shots to the head. Mr. X recovers as Harry gets to his feet. Mr. X runs at Harry and sends Harry through the hole in the middle of the ring with a huge boot to the face. Harry falls through the middle hole and to the ring below.*
Winner and the XHF Hardcore Champion: Mr. X
King: What a drop!
Cole: This is over! Thank god!
*Suddenly inside the arena, all the lights dim as the familiar tune of "White America" by Eminem hits the PA! Then, as it's opening chords reverberate throughout the arena and the chorus of the song begins, a blood red spotlight falls upon the top of the stage where just then the sadistic figures of the infamous "Kinetic Kollision Killers" duo themselves, Fury & Renegade appear! Then, as the spotlight on them fades away and the song continues in the background, the two strut cockily on down the ramp to an onslaught of boos from the crowd. Once soon reaching the bottom of the ramp, both climb right up onto the ring apron and after then stepping on into the ring, both men set off to nearby turnbuckles to taunt off to the crowd. Then, after finishing these routine taunts of theirs, they climb down from their respective turnbuckles and proceed to lean up against them as they await the inevitable emergence of their opponents..*
Cole: I believe, this will be a good match.
CH: After seeing the last match its hard to believe anything better.
*The lights go out, as breathing is heard. Smoke fills up the entranceway, and white light flickers, "Cold" by Static-X is heard. The Dark Parade with the Dark Mistress walk out, as The Scarecrow is wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, as The Pumpkin is wearing a fuzzy hat and his wresting attire, and the Dark Mistress has the XHF Women's Championship around her waist. The Dark Parade taunt to the crowd on the entranceway, as The Dark Mistress walks down the ramp. They then run down the ramp and slide into the ring and jumps on the second rope. The Dark Mistress gets in the ring, as The Scarecrow stares at the crowd, and The Pumpkin rolls his shoulders and does a Christian type taunt. The Scarecrow then jumps off and gives his jacket to the Mistress, and then puts his sunglasses on her head. The Pumpkin then jumps off and gives the Mistress his sunglasses, and places his hat on her head.*
King: This is the Dark Parades first pay per view match since Night Of Champions. They maybe be rusty.
Cole: They look good though.
Number One Contendership for the XHF Tag Team Championship Elimination Match
The Dark Parade vs. The Kinetic Kollision Killers
*The ref calls for the bell and the match starts off with Scarecrow and Renegade. They both pace each other around the ring, but stop when
The arena lights dim as the voice of 50 Cent is herd over the PA "Venom, you know you and Decoy are my favorite wrestlers right?" and shortly after "Patiently Waiting" by 50 Cent and Eminem begins to play over the PA. As the word "Explode" sounds in the beginning of the song fire pyros shoot from the stage and as the die down Venom and Decoy followed closely by Teo, who has both tag team belts drapes over his shoulders, emerge from behind the curtain to a fairly good ovation from the crowd. Decoy and Venom talk strategy as they walk down the ramp and Teo "The Hired Gun" chases after then they continue down the ramp and walk around the ring to the announcers table.*
King: Hey. Tell the Midget to drop my crown.
Decoy: But he likes it king.
CH: Haha.
Cole: What brings you guys out her tonight?
Venom: Number one contenders match Cole.
*Scarecrow and Renegade continue to pace after the sudden emergence of the tag team champions. Renegade moves in on Scarecrow. They go for the tie up, and Renegade lifts a knee to the stomach of Scarecrow. Renegade then sends an axe hand into the back of Scarecrow. Renegade grabs Scarecrow by the wrist and whips him into the ropes. Scarecrow returns and ducks a clothesline attempt from Renegade. Scarecrow continues to the opposite side ring ropes and as Renegade turns around Scarecrow flies at him and takes him down with a spinning heel kick. Renegade quickly gets back to his feet, but Scarecrow is ready for him and whips Renegade into his teams corner. Scarecrow follows him in and connects with a back elbow and makes the tag to Pumpkin. Scarecrow sends chops into the chest of Renegade as Pumpkin climbs into the ring and then they both grab Renegade by the wrist. They pull him out of the corner for a whip but do not whip him across the ring, but instead pushes him back first into the corner.*
Cole: Great double-team there by DP.
Venom: Me and Decoy have better moves then that.
*Scarecrow then exits the ring as Pumpkin lays the boots into the stomach of Renegade. Renegade falls into the sitting position and Pumpkin lifts him up to his feet and sends him over with a snap suplex and holds on. Pumpkin holds on and swivels up to his feet still holding on and sends down with another snap suplex and still hangs on. Pumpkin swivels back up one more time and turns into a standing arm bar then reaches and tags in his brother, Scarecrow. Scarecrow then climbs up to the top rope and flies off and sends a double axe handle into the shoulder of Renegade. Renegade falls to the mat after the shot and holds his shoulder and Scarecrow quickly takes advantage by grabbing Renegade by the arm and locking both legs around it and lock in an arm scissors. Renegade slams his fist on the mat and then begins to lift himself up. Renegade gets up to his knees with his arm still locked in a scissors hold. Renegade then gets all the way to his feet with Scarecrow still on his arm and Renegade quickly lifts Scarecrow up and turns and power bombs Scarecrow in the center of the ring. Both men lay down on the mat and both mens partners try to get there partner going. Renegade begins moving first clutching his arm under his body and crawling towards his corner. Scarecrow now begins to move as well, but seems to be crawling much quicker then Renegade. Scarecrow reaches his corner and makes the tag to Pumpkin and Pumpkin hops over the top rope and into the ring as Renegade reaches out and makes the tag to Fury.*
Cole: Both men make the Tag.
Venom: Both men suck.
*Fury and Pumpkin meet in the center of the ring and exchange punches back and forth. Both men stagger each other back and forth until Fury breaks the punch off with a stiff clothesline. Pumpkin quickly rolls over and springs to his feet and Fury grabs him by the wrist and sends Pumpkin into the ropes. Pumpkin begins to come back and Fury lowers his head. Pumpkin rolls over the back of Fury and stops behind Fury. Fury gets back to his feet and Pumpkin hooks his arms and goes for the Smash, but as Pumpkin turns Fury around he pushes Pumpkin into the ropes. Pumpkin bounces back and turns right into a boot to the gut from Fury. Fury then shoves Pumpkins head between his legs and lifts Pumpkin up and drives him down with the Furification. Fury makes the cover and gets the three right as Scarecrow dives in to make the save just a second to late.*
Eliminated: The Pumpkin
King: Not Pumpkin
Cole: I am afraid so King.
CH: Man you guys have weird names.
*Pumpkin rolls out of the ring as Scarecrow is now the only man left from his team. Scarecrow stomps on the body of Fury before he can get to his feet and Renegade enters the ring still holding his shoulder. He attacks Scarecrow from behind with an axe handle to the back and then the ref forces Renegade out of the ring. Renegade resists as Scarecrow recovers and goes to pick up Fury, but Fury connects with a low blow on Scarecrow. Fury then rolls Scarecrow up with a small package as Renegade now goes quietly out of the ring. The ref turns and drops to make the count and Scarecrow barely kicks out before the three. Fury gets to his feet and he cannot believe that Scarecrow kicked out. Fury pushes the ref in the chest then turns and tags in Renegade. Renegade slowly makes his way into the ring and Scarecrow slowly gets to his feet. Scarecrow stands dazed and Renegade runs at him. Somehow Scarecrow springs out of the way and grabs Renegade by the back and drives him shoulder first into the ring post. Renegade screams in pain at the impact and Scarecrow quickly rolls him up for the three count.*
Eliminated: Renegade
King: And now Renegade is gone too.
Cole: But he seems to be hurt.
Venom: He is just a pussy. Kind of reminds me of someone.
Decoy: Charlie Velez?
Venom: Hit it on the nose D.
*The ref leans over to help Renegade as he clutches his shoulder in pain. Meanwhile Fury drops off the apron and retrieves a chair. Scarecrow stands behind the ref looking over his shoulder as Renegade screams in pain holding his shoulder. The ref calls for the EMTs as Scarecrow turns back towards Fury who levels him with a vicious chair shot. Fury tosses the chair out of the ring and fury makes the cover on Scarecrow as Renegade miraculously recovers and the ref turns back to the action to make the three count on Scarecrow.*
Eliminated: Scarecrow
Winners: The Kinetic Kollision Killers
King: KKK win the match.
Venom: They cheated.
King: The ref didnt see it.
Venom: But I did.
*Venom and Decoy stand up and leave the announcers desk as Fury and Renegade are now stomping on the body of Scarecrow. Fury pushes the body of Scarecrow out of the ring as Pumpkin runs down the ramp to his brothers aid. Pumpkin helps his brother to his feet as in the ring Renegade and Fury celebrate, but not for long as Venom and Decoy are now on the ring apron. Renegade and Fury turn and Renegade runs at Decoy and Fury at Venom. Decoy grabs the head of Renegade and drops off the apron with a hangman while Venom knees Fury into the stomach and punches him in the head causing him to stumble back and fall. Venom then spring boards and hits a shooting star press on Fury! Decoy slides in the ring as Renegade slowly gets back to his feet and Decoy stalks him. Venom runs and climbs the ropes as Renegade turns around and Decoy lifts him up as Venom jumps off and hits a drop kick with Patiently Waiting. Fury and Renegade are laid out in the ring as Venom calls for a mic and is tossed one.*
Venom: You know, me and Decoy were sitting at ringside to see a great match to determine the number one contenders to our tag title, but instead what we seen was a team of cheating bastards become the number one contenders. These are our titles and I am not going to face two cheaters for something we worked hard to win. That is why me and Decoy have decided that we will face BOTH teams on August 11th on Pyro in Cambodia in a triple threat tag team match.
*Venom drops the mic and he and Decoy roll out of the ring and meet up with Teo.*
Cole: The Champs sure did lay down the law that time.
King: That is bullshit.
CH: No, its only fair.
*The opening riffs of "The Way You Like It" by Adema hits the XtremeTron, as the crowd turns to moderate cheers. Diamond's video begins playing, showing clips from him nailing Goldberg with a chair, to a clip of him defeating Psyko Stevo as Wraith. It flashes through many shots of himself as the song plays. The video stops, and blackness covers the arena. Blue 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 entranceway, where Diamond now stands, head down. Diamond began making a few punches at the air, and then finally stretched his hands out in a T position. He then finally brought his fists together, cracking his knuckles. He finally walks down towards the ring. He then slides into the ring, and climbs to the top rope, making the same position. He then throws one hand up in the air, and the crowd responds with cheers. He chuckles, however, and jumps down from the turnbuckle, as the song dies out.*
Cole: Diamond is going to have a lot ahead of him, as he faces a XHF veteran like Venom.
King: Reak will kill him.
(When this began) I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That Im not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that Ive got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
*The cameras zoom into the curtains where instantly Reak emerges from the back with smoke and fog everywhere.*
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain Ive felt so long
(Erase all the pain till its gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like Im close to something real
I wanna find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
*Reak proceeds to make his way into the ring as the chorus slowly fades away.*
CH: This is Reak? He doesnt look scary.
King: Wait until you see him wrestle.
Number One Contendership for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship

Diamond vs. Reak
*Diamond begins to move about in the ring and that gets Reak going as well, obviously a little slowly then the lightning quick Diamond. Reak locks up with Diamond who comes around to the back of Reak and tries to take him down but Reak isn't doing anywhere. He drops the elbow down on the back of the head of Diamond to break up the hold, as Diamond staggers back holding the back of his head. Reak gets Diamond in the corner and begins to drive the elbows up into the gut of Diamond, taking the air out of Diamond. Reak whips Diamond across into the far corner and goes to follow in but gets caught with a boot to the head. Reak goes down and Diamond jumps up onto the top, and comes down with a split legged moonsault but Reak gets the knees up!*
Cole: Ouch, thats going to hurt.
King: It does, have you ever been hit like that before Cole?
Cole: Well I have wrestled in two matches, and won one.
King: Oh yeah.
*Diamond rolls off holding his stomach as Reak jumps up and comes at him, taking him down with a hard clothesline. Diamond is almost folded right up after the clothesline and Reak just lays on him making the cocky cover and Diamond kicks out after two. Reak picks up Diamond and sets him up for an inverted DDT but as he picks him up, Diamond breaks free, grabs the hands of Reak and with his feet, swings between the legs of Reak. On his way through he clips the knees of Reak and Reak goes down flat on his face, a highly innovative move from Diamond! Diamond runs to the side and into the ropes and comes back with a dropkick to the face of Reak, keeping the larger Reak down. Diamond, trying to keep things at his pace and at his speed, runs into the ropes and comes back with a lionsault but Reak catches him and places him up on his shoulders. Reak slams him down into the mat, hooks the legs and makes the cover but Diamond again kicks out after two.*
CH: Diamond doesnt want to stay down.
King: He has a shot to get a shot of a lifetime. I wouldnt go down either
*Reak gets up off the mat, pulling Diamond up with him. Diamond stops at his knees and takes down Reak with a with a Firemans Carry. Diamond turns and drops the leg drop to Reak. Diamond goes for the cover but Reak powers out after a two count. Diamond, lands on his feet and charges into the ropes, where he flips over Reak, snapping his neck as he comes around! Reak jolts forward and then whiplashes the back of his head against the mat. Diamond then points to the top and gets a huge response from the crowd.*
Cole: Diamond wants to go for something big!
King: Come on Reak, get up!
*Diamond steps to the apron and climbs up the top. Diamond showboats to the crowd again while he waits for Reak to get to his feet. Reak climbs up and Diamond comes off to the top and connects with a cross body! Reak rolls right through and stay on him for the cover, but Diamond kicks out after two. Reak gets up and drives rights into the forehead of Diamond, keeping him getting back to his feet. Which in retrospect is a smart move, keeping the quick and agile Diamond on the ground, rather then on his feet. Reak gets up and sits on the top turnbuckle, feet on the middle turnbuckle. Reak comes off the top looking for an elbow drop but Diamond moves out of the way and scales the turnbuckles himself, coming off the top with an Air Diamond! Diamond stays on him for a cover. 1...2..Diamond gets the shoulder up, no longer powering out, but simply getting the shoulder up.*
Cole: Diamond looks tired.
King: Reak is kicking his ass.
CH: I wouldnt say kicking his ass, but Reak is having the advantage of the two.
*Diamond gets up and awaits the arrival of Reak. Reak gets to his feet and Diamond comes off his feet, spinning in the air looking to connect with the shoulder but Reak ducks under. Diamond lands on the bottom rope and jumps up onto the middle looking to come off with a cross body but Reak catches him! Reak tosses Diamond back with a fall away slam. Diamond, a little slower to his feet now and Reak connects with a super kick to the chops of Diamond! Reak says that's it, and climbs to the top rope. He isn't up there long when he comes down with a Reaktor! Diamond however, isn't there, he's rolled out of the way and Reak makes the impact with the mat below! Diamond takes his time getting up and once he is, he leaps onto the shoulders of Reak and takes him down with a Hurricanrana! He hangs on for a cover 1..2...Reak rolls through and has Diamond in a pinning predicament 1...2...Diamond closes his legs on the head of Reak, breaking up the pin.*
CH: Nice way to break up the pin.
*Reak gets to his feet and takes down Diamond with a stiff clothesline! Reak gets to his feet and nods to the crowd, he gets the feeling that it's over now as he picks up Diamond and places him over his shoulders in the Samoan Drop position. Reak spins Diamond around but when he does, Diamond drops down and ends up across the knees of Reak where he rolls him up 1...Diamond gets his foot on the ropes for support 2...3!*
Winner: Diamond
King: Diamond cheated!
Cole: The referee never saw it.
King: But what about the KKK
CH: Ah, bah to the KKK. Theyre assholes, Diamond is cool.
King: I so hate you right now.
*Diamond quickly slides out of the ring and takes off halfway up the ramp as Reak is up and is irate in the ring, kicking the bottom rope, stomping his feet, etc. Diamond motioning the belt around his waist shouting back to Reak "Whatever it takes...whatever it takes" Reak shouts something back as Diamond is at the top of the ramp. Diamond simply responds with "I got you 1,2,3!" as he disappears behind the curtain, an irate Reak left in the ring.*
King: Oh Reak is pissed.
*Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana plays over the PA and Raven makes his way down the ramp and gets up on the apron and turnbuckles and spreads his arms like wings to the crowd. He takes off his jacket and gets in the ring and sits in the corner waiting for his opponent to come out.*
Cole: Raven looks determined.
King: No, Raven looks confident. He knows he can beat Chris Williams.
*The arena goes black, and the intro to 'Show Me How To Live' by Audioslave hits the PA, as green lights chase each other at the top of the entrance way. Slowly but surely 'The Energy' Chris Williams walks out slightly bouncing on his knees, wearing a shiny black jacket over his singlet and a pair of black sunglasses. He purposely wastes time, slowly walking down the ramp, swaying to the tune of the first verse. He reaches the bottom of the ramp way where the verse shies off signs of ending, and runs up to the apron, sliding under the bottom rope. He jumps on to the second turnbuckle padding and looks around for a split second. Once the chorus breaks through, he raises his arms up and green pyro shoot up, outlining the entrance, ramp, and the ring apron, besides the area in front of the turnbuckle he poses upon. As the pyro die down with the darkness, he jumps off the turnbuckle and slowly removes his jacket into the second verse, and hands them over with his sunglasses.*
CH: Chris Williams looks cool.
King: But Raven is cooler.
CH: No, no hes not.

Raven vs. "The Energy" Chris Williams
*Raven pulls himself out of the corner and Chris Williams makes a sudden move, flinching Raven but Williams stops, leaving it as a flinch and begins to laugh at Raven. Some of the fans join in with Williams, enraging Raven as he charges forward and clubs Williams in the head, taking him down. Raven continues with some boots to the gut of Williams. Eventually Raven kicks Williams into the ropes where the referee has to step in and pull Raven off of him. Raven backs away but goes right back to the attack, picking up Williams leaning him up against the ropes. Raven whips him across to the ropes. Williams comes back and slides under the legs of Raven, getting up and continues running into the other ropes. Williams bounces off the middle rope and connects with a cross body to Raven, right down into the cover but Raven kicks out after just one.*
King: See that? That was only a one count. Williams cant beat Raven.
Cole: The match just started!
King: And it still proves my theory.
CH: What theory?
King: Raven is better than Chris Williams!
*Both men rush to their feet at about the same time, Williams hits the ropes once again. Raven picks up Williams looking for a sideslam but Williams turns it into a head scissors take down. Raven rolls into the ropes at the other side of the ring, breaking his fall, immediately getting up and charges towards Williams who is also getting up but Raven gets caught with an arm drag take down. Raven gets up and charges again but gets caught with another arm drag take down. Raven gets right up again but this time Williams doesnt wait for Raven to charge towards him and hits with a dropkick that sends Raven to sitting position in the corner.*
Cole: Great timing by Williams.
King: Bah.
Cole: Whatever happened to you screaming Chris and Chris Own You?
King: Chris and Chris left us for months, how are they going to own us?
CH: With their great talent in the ring.
King: Bah.
*Williams slides to the outside and grabs the head of Raven, placing it outside the ring under the ropes. He slides back into the ring, straightening the legs of Raven, leaving his feet all the way to his lower body areas inside the ring, with his chest and head hanging under the bottom rope. Williams calls out to the fans with his hands getting a huge response. Williams catapults himself over the top rope, connecting with a leg drop to Raven! Raven falls to the outside, Williams sitting on the ring apron looking out to the cheering fans. He nods and then stands up, waiting for Raven to get up. Raven, using the barricade slowly climbs to his feet and Williams jumps onto the middle rope coming off with an Asai Moonsault!*
CH: What a move!
*Raven falls back after catching the move from Williams. Williams gets up, holding his stomach and walks, a little hunched back over to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope, breaking up the referees count at eight. Williams rolls right back to the outside and picks Raven back up to his feet. Williams whips Raven into the ring, stepping back onto the ramp a bit. Raven hits hard, and sticks out his chest/stomach with a scream insinuating hes hit his back hard against the ring apron. Williams charges in towards Raven and Raven tries a backdrop. Williams, however, lands on his feet on the apron. Williams turns around and leaps off the ring apron with a bulldog to Raven!*
Cole: Williams has control of the match so far.
King: Just wait, Raven will come back.
*Williams not quite as quick to his feet as he was earlier but still gets up pretty quick and motions with the crowd to get a little louder and sure enough they do. Williams steps onto the apron and begins to climb to the top rope. Williams stands, poised and ready waiting for Raven to climb to his feet, and when he does Williams takes off looking for cross body but Raven moves out of the way! Williams hits hard on the mat below and is quite shaken up by the impact, Raven left leaning up against the barricade. Raven clears the hair from his face and moves back over to Williams, picking him up and dragging him back over to the ring area. Raven bounces the head of Williams off the steel steps and rolls back into the ring to break up the referees count again, this time at 7 before rolling back to the outside and meeting Williams. Raven picks up Williams for a press and drops him head first into the steps once again!*
King: I told you Raven will come back.
Cole: The match isnt over.
King: God dammit, each time I say something Im wrong and youre always right, when Im stating the truth while youre a damn kiss ass.
CH: Shut up King and watch the damn match.
*Raven now, searching for anything, picks up Williams and grabs him by the hair. Raven turns and tosses Williams by the hair! Horizontally into the barricade back first goes Williams! Raven applies a few boots to Williams before tossing him back into the ring. Williams immediately uses the ropes to get to his feet as Raven rolls under the bottom ropes as well. Ravens, on his hands and knees looking to pull himself up but Williams catches him, rolling him over and rolling him up into the cover 1,2 Raven kicks out! Williams stumbles into the ropes, and thus hes having a little troubles getting up, Raven beating him there. Raven runs into the ropes and as Williams gets up, catches him with a swinging neck breaker, taking Williams down once again. Raven sits right up, as Williams is down behind him and as Williams begins to climb to his feet Raven decides to get to his as well. Raven grabs the back of the head of Williams, pulling him up to his feet. Raven whips Williams into the far ropes, Williams comes back looking for a clothesline of his own but Raven ducks under and as both men turn around, Raven connects with a jawbreaker to Williams! Raven falls back into the cover but Williams is able to kick out after the count of two. Both men climb to their feet, Raven the first one up once again. Raven meets Williams with a knee to the gut, and a right hand that sends Williams staggering back into the corner. Raven whips Williams across to the far corner, following it up with a clothesline and leaving the corner with a bulldog! Raven goes into the cover once again, but Williams out after a long two count.*
Cole: Raven gave Williams a good combinations of moves, but he cant keep him down!
*Raven, again the first one up but Williams tries fighting him off with the right hand this time when Raven went to pick him up again. Raven stops dead in his tracks hunched over as Williams rushes to his feet and into the ropes. Raven drops down and Williams leaps over, hitting the other ropes, and coming off with a flying clothesline! Williams lifts himself to his knees with his hands and slowly gets to his feet, Raven isnt too far behind. Williams begins to spin around, reaches 960 degrees and looks for a Gyrate but Raven ducks under the blow and Williams connects with the referee!*
Cole: Williams just hit the referee!
King: Ring the bell ref disqualify Williams!
CH: It was by accident King.
*Raven connects with a boot the gut and hits the Even Flow DDT! Raven, rolling over, drapes himself over Williams 1...2...3...4...the referee is completely out! Raven sits up and looks at the referee, who still isnt at all moving. Raven climbs to his feet and walks over to the referee, staring down at him. Raven picks up the referee, and hooks his head under his arm, and hits an Even Flow DDT on the referee!*
Cole: What the hell!?
King: Raven is so angry he rules.
*Raven sits up in front of the referee before rolling to the outside and grabs a steel chair. Rolling back into the ring, he sets up the chair, opening it up in the middle of the ring. Raven waits for Williams to get up and whips him across into the far ropes. Williams comes back and Raven looks for the drop toehold but Williams reaches out and gets his hands on the top of the chair, allowing him to flip right over. He stops and connects with a low blow to Raven. Williams comes in off the ropes with a scissors kick to Raven as Raven goes head first into the open chair!*
King: Thats illegal, ILLEGAL!
CH: Anythings legal when the referee is out!
King: Oh I so hate you right now.
*The chair is knocked back and Williams pushes it the rest of the way to the outside. Williams now, slowly moving over and checks on the referee, getting him moving about on the mat and then proceeds to slowly climb up the to the top. Williams stands up top and comes with a leg drop to the back of the head of Raven! Williams rolls him over and falls on him for the cover. The referee slowly making his way over and begins the slow count. 1....2....Raven just gets the shoulder up! The fans respond with a disappointing groan as they thought Williams had the match won. Williams lays face first onto the mat after Raven kicked out, and Raven is left laying on his back. Raven crawls over to the ropes, Williams, reaches up for the top rope and pulls himself up from there. Raven is seen hanging over the side of the ring, reaching down. Williams is up and bends over to pick up Raven. Raven however quickly rolls over and tosses the chair up to Williams. Williams catches it and the referee turns around to see Raven down and Williams with the chair, he calls for the bell!*
Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of this match by the result of a disqualification...Raven!
*Williams tosses down the chair and puts his hand behind his back as though he didnt have anything and begins complaining to the referee. The referee is none of it until a second referee comes from the back and explains that the chair on the outside and tossed back to Raven. Raven is up and has picked up the chair that Williams through down, and is leaning up against the side ropes. After the explanation the original referee walks over to the timekeeper as Williams is over the ropes, listening in. the referee is ordering the match to continue and Williams nods in approval. Williams turns around but Raven takes advantage of the referees back being turned, talking to the timekeeper and strikes Williams over the skull with the steel chair and quickly disposes of it to the outside! The referee slides in and Raven falls on Williams for the cover.*
Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen the referee has reversed his decision. The match will now continue!
Cole: Yes! Williams isnt screwed!
King: Dammit, dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!
CH: This is awesome action here.
*Once its made official, the referee makes the count 1...2....Williams gets his foot on the ropes! Raven pounds his hands off the mat in frustration as Williams just wont go down! Raven sits up Williams and locks in a sleeper hopping hed fade away. Its not too long before Williams looks out and the referee raises his arm, it drops. Again it drops. He picks it up again but this time Williams is able to hold on. Williams gets up and drives the elbows into the gut of Raven and runs into the ropes. Williams slides under the legs of Raven and wraps his arms around his waist, running into the ropes and coming back with a roll up. 1...2...hes got him! No he doesnt! Raven kicks out just before the hand comes down for two and the fans again let out a disappointing moan Williams was so close yet so far away. Raven gets up and tries to drop the elbow but Williams rolls out of the way. Williams gets up and runs into the turnbuckle climbing up to the second turnbuckle and coming off with a Drop To Zero!*
Cole: Drop To Zero!
*1...2...Raven just kicks out again! Neither man is giving in, both letting it all on the line and both men are down, beaten and exhausted.

CH: Ill be surprised if Raven will be able to speak tomorrow.
*Williams, hobbles up to his feet and grabs onto the top rope. He leap frogs over the top and comes down with the leg drop to Raven! Raven jolts right back down into the ring while Williams is left sitting on the apron. Williams climbs to the top, and motions to the crowd its over.

*The lights go black and blue and red strobes circle the arena. The XtremeTron flashes Obey the Master of Puppets! Shoot Me Again by Metallica blares through the speakers. The XtremeTron shows segments of DT hitting his various finishers on opponents. 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. Around his waist is his XHF Phoenix Championship title belt. He gives the Grand Slam sign and triggers a huge pyrotechnic chain reaction. The XtremeTron begins showing flashes of DT taking various weapon shots and standing up again. The lights brighten. He walks to the ring and takes off the hat, shirt, shades, and title and drops the bat. He steps to the center of the ring and his arms in a cross. He then gives the Grand Slam sign again and sets off one final pyrotechnic eruption.*

CH: It should be good to see him then.
*Far Behind hits as Dominique walks out, she stops at the stage and waits. The lights go out and on the XtremeTron appears in flaming letters "YOUR DECIMATION IS COMING, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!!!. A lightning bolt then hits the top of the stage and Unforgiven II hits and Apollyon walks out wearing a long black leather cape, a black towel over his head and his XHR Title, he puts his arms around the lovely and ever beautiful Dominique and kisses her, they then make there way to the ring where Dominique takes the XHR Title off from around Apollyons waist and holds it high in the air while Apollyon stops at the top of the steps, he raises his arms and the lights come back on, he then climbs through the ropes and gets down on one knee, he raises one arm in the air (Like Taker used to do) as Dominique stands behind him holding up the retired XHR Title as flames shoot out of the four turnbuckle posts.*
CH: Whats up with this guy?
King: Hes a Satanist who believes he can take anybody down, and you never know if the fans like him or not.
CH: I dont like him.
King: I dont like him either.

DT strikes with another chop to the chest of Apollyon and Apollyon is staggered back towards the edge of the stage. DT grabs Apollyon by the throat and calls for a choke slam to hell off of the stage, but Apollyon counters with a boot to the nuts. Death Trap doubles over and Apollyon shoves DTs head between his legs and lifts DT up and slams him down with a dark side bomb on the stage! Apollyon bends over and takes a deep breath as DT is laid out on the stage. Apollyon lifts DT up to his feet and grabs him by the head. Apollyon slowly leads DT down the ramp by the head. Apollyon gets around to the end of the ramp and DT forces free and pushes Apollyon into the casket and Apollyon flips over and in. DT slams the casket shut and begins backing slowly up the ramp to make sure Apollyon is not out when he presses the button, but as DT gets half way up the ramp Apollyon flips the lid up and rolls out of the casket and into the ring. DT seems winded from the power bomb, but slowly begins to walk back towards the ring as Apollyon taunts him. DT slowly climbs up the remains of the ring steps and walks across the ring apron and stops in front of the casket. Apollyon slowly moves in on DT who still seems winded. Apollyon swings at DT, but DT ducks and sends a knee to the midsection of Apollyon. DT then hooks the head of Apollyon and lifts him up with a suplex and both men fall in the casket.*
King: I was told by Mongo that if both men are in the casket at the same time, he will explode the casket.
Cole and CH: SAY WHAT!?
*The ref shuts the lid on both men as rustling is herd from inside the casket. Suddenly after several minutes the lid shoots open and Apollyon sits up. Apollyon climbs out of the casket and pulls himself up into the ring. Shortly after DT sits up and also climbs out and up into the ring. Both men meet in the center of the ring, both a bit lagging. DT sends a right hand to the face of Apollyon and Apollyon sends one right back. DT sends on and it is blocked. Apollyon sends another back but he is also blocked. DT then sends another and staggers Apollyon back. DT then runs at Apollyon but Apollyon lifts his foot up and takes DT down with a big boot. Apollyon then lifts DT up and whips him over into the corner. Apollyon flips DT over so that DT is facing the turnbuckle and Apollyon begins to climb up to the top rope. Apollyon stands on the top rope and reaches down to lift Apollyon up for a Super Dark side Bomb, but DT counters by dropping on the top rope and sending Apollyon spread eagle across the top turnbuckle. DT then readjusts the legs of Apollyon and DT steps back and runs at Apollyon and flips up onto him and drives down Apollyon with the Final Judgment! Apollyon is out in the center of the ring and DT is laying belly down on the mat breathing heavily. DT then gets to his knees and slowly rolls Apollyon over and over and into the casket. DT then rolls out of the ring behind him and DT slams the casket shut. DT then reaches under the ring and pulls out a roll of duct tape.*
Cole: Duct Tape?
King: It can fix anything.
*DT wraps the top of the casket shut with the duct tape then wraps the bottom of it down with duct tape. DT seems to think he has done a good job and he tosses the duct tape down and runs up the ramp. The casket begins to shake as DT reaches the top of the ramp but the lid is not opening. DT lifts up the charger and the refs scatter away from the area and DT pushes the button and BOOM! The ring moves back several feet and the casket is in flames. All the refs run back and quickly put the casket out fire extinguishers. The refs then call to the back for EMTs as DT sits on the top of the ramp staring at the wreckage.*

Cole: The final three!
King: After somebody is eliminated, we go to the ladder match baby!
CH: Ladder match?
King: Youll love it trust me.
*Slain lies against the mat staring up at the ceiling, as the referee rolls Matt Hicks out of the ring. Shadow Dragon stands next to Slain and stomps on him, and lifts him up. Dragon sends multiple chops into the chest of Slain, and then bends him over. Shadow Dragon faces away from Slain and hooks both arms behind his back, and then turns him over. Shadow Dragon lifts Slain on his back for a Dragon Whip, but Slain flips over to his feet and lifts Dragon onto his back for a Dragon Whip of his own! Slain walks into the center of the ring, and hits Shadow Dragons own Dragon Whip! Slain sits up tired of everything, when all of a sudden If I Cant by 50 Cent hits the PA system! The referee turns to the ramp way, waiting for somebody to run out, but Platinum comes from the crowd and slides into the ring with a steel chair! Platinum nods his head to Slain, but then smashes his head with a steel chair! Slain is bleeding from the top of his head, and falls back and Platinum makes his exit. Shadow Dragon slowly places his arm onto Slains chest, and the referee finally turns around, 1-2-3!*
Eliminated: Slain
Cole: Platinum just screwed Slain out of the Junior Heavyweight title!
CH: That aint right.
King: Ladder time!
*Ring crews lower the XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship from the ceiling, and the ring crew bring the ladder out from the back.

When Daniels turns to face Dragon, Dragon grabs him by the head and throws him out of the ring! Christopher Daniels rolls up to his feet and looks to the ring, but before he could do anything Shadow Dragon runs up the ladder and then hits Christopher Daniels tope con hilo!*
Cole: What a move.
King: What a match.
CH: What a night.
*Shadow Dragon lands on his feet, and shakes his head, and then goes into the ring. He grabs the ladder and unfolds it into the center of the ring. Shadow Dragon grabs each step and pulls himself up, getting closer to the XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship. Christopher Daniels finally gets up to his feet and sees Shadow Dragon climbing up the ladder, and climbs up the apron. He looks around the arena and just laughs, and then springboards off the third rope and dropkicks the ladder, sending Shadow Dragon to the outside! Dragon hits the padding hard, as Christopher Daniels unfolds the ladder and places it on the ground. Christopher Daniels seems to be waiting for something, as Shadow Dragon slowly begins to climb up to his feet. Shadow Dragons head is now laying on the apron, and Christopher Daniels runs to the ropes behind the ladder and then baseball slides the top of it, sending the ladder into the face of Shadow Dragon! Dragon lays against the padding, dazed from the move, as Christopher Daniels grabs the ladder once again. Christopher Daniels sets the ladder in the center of the ring, but lies against it trying to get a break.*
Cole: Both men are exhausted.
CH: And the rest of us are excited to see what comes next.
*Christopher Daniels finally begins to climb the ladder, as Shadow Dragon finally begins to move. Shadow Dragon grabs a steel chair from under the ring, and places it on the side of the ring. Shadow Dragon slides it in, and then follows. Shadow Dragon pushes himself to his feet and picks up the steel chair, and when Christopher Daniels is about to grab the Junior Heavyweight Championship, Shadow Dragon hits him in the lower spine with a steel chair! Christopher Daniels screams in pain, as Shadow Dragon sets up the steel chair behind Christopher Daniels. Shadow Dragon walks up to the steel chair and places his arm between Christopher Daniels legs, and then spins over driving him into the mat with a powerslam! Christopher Daniels and Shadow Dragon lie against the mat, as the crowd is on their feet from this tremendous battle. Shadow Dragon is the first to move, as he pushes himself up to his feet. He falls against the ropes, but keeps himself up. Shadow Dragon walks to the ladder, and begins to climb up it. Shadow Dragon has the fans behind him, but Christopher Daniels begins to climb up to his feet. Christopher Daniels walks to the side of the ladder opposite of Shadow Dragon, and begins to climb up it. The two meet up on the top, and begin to trade blows. Christopher Daniels slams Dragons head into the top of the ladder, and then grabs him in a front facelock. He lifts Shadow Dragon up, and then turns him, so that Dragons back is facing him. Christopher Daniels lifts Shadow Dragon on to his shoulders and flips him over and dives off the ladder with the Golden-Gate Driver!*
Cole: Pardon my French, but holy shit!
King: That waswhoa.
*Christopher Daniels sits up with his eyes closed, shaking but then slowly turns over and climbs to his feet. He walks to the side of the ladder and begins to climb up. Christopher Daniels walks step to step really slowly, but when he reaches the top he grabs his Junior Heavyweight Championship, winning the match and retaining the Junior Heavyweight title.*
Winner and still XHF Junior Heavyweight Champion: The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels
Cole: Unbelievable.
King: This is what the XHF is all about.
CH: *Clapping his heard*
*Christopher Daniels falls of the ladder holding his Junior Heavyweight Championship, as the crowd is on their feet from this amazing display.*
Cole: Beautiful.
*The steel cage is lowered from above, as the ring announcer is handed a note from a referee. He looks at it, and then addresses the crowd.*
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have gotten word that this Steel Cage match can only be won, by pinfall inside of the ring. So if an opponent is able to climb the cage or go through the door, the match continues.
*Crowd cheers.*
CH: Talk about adding flavor into this match eh?
King: Oh, this should be good.
*Lights flicker and then turn off. A white light shines up the top of the ramp, as the crowd watches in awe as the intro to "The Sky Is Falling" by Queens Of The Stone Age is heard on the PA system. The drums slowly enter, as does the smoke from around the entrance area. The guitar riffs enter and the light from above the curtain shines up, as Charlie Velez slowly walks out from the back, with his long black trench coat and sunglasses, and his wife Annette right behind him. He holds his head down looking at the ground, but the lifts it up and walks down once the vocals hit.*
"The sky is falling
Human race that we run
It left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
Only a moment I notice
Every dog has his day
I paid attention
Cost me so much to today"
*Charlie and Annette make it to the bottom of the ramp and look around, and then Charlie hops up and down looking up at the ceiling (think Brock), and then stops and looks at his wife. He holds her hand and tells her something, and then Annette takes off his trench coat and sunglasses. Charlie looks at her and nods his head, and then walks up the ring steps and through the door, and waits for Venom.*
Cole: Charlie Velez seems very emotional about this match.
CH: Thats his wife Cole, and in a match like this he could see her for a last time.
King: Predicting the future?
CH: No, stating the truth.
*The beginning guitar riffs of System of a Down's "Spiders" slowly begins to play. Verse one begins as on the XtremeTron the word "Venom" is shown small and growing bigger until it fills the XtremeTron. As the verse ends black spiders fill the XtremeTron 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. He stops in the middle of it staring at Charlie Velez, but finally walks down and to the ring. He walks up the ring steps, and into the ring, and continues to stare at Charlie Velez.*
Cole: In my opinion, these two men, are two of the things that made the Junior Heavyweight division. Platinum was the pioneer, and then Slain juiced up the division, but now this belongs to Charlie Velez and Venom. Both are former champions, and though Charlie is the bigger of the two, Venom is the faster one that could be a main factor in this match.
King: You have to remember Cole, now that the match has become pinfall only, the speed might not have to do with it anymore. Venom was the faster wrestler, which was an advantage because he could get up the cage fast, but see, thats no longer a factor. Charlie Velez is the stronger of the two, which will help him win this match, in my opinion.
Steel Cage Match
"The Future" Charlie Velez vs. Venom
*Charlie Velez and Venom walk up to each other, in the center of the ring. Charlie Velez does all the talking as Venom just listens staring a whole into Charlie Velez. Charlie Velez pushes Venom, which angers Venom as the two are now forehead-to-forehead, furious at one each other. They both swing, and connect with a punch to each others face. A few more connect, until Venom gets a clear-cut advantage, sending Charlie into a corner. Venom stops the punching, as he goes for boots in the stomach. Two more kicks in the stomach allows Venom to grab Charlie by the wrist and whips him into the corner opposite to him, but Charlie stops the impact by using his foot onto the second turnbuckle. He turns around and goes for a clothesline and a running Venom, but Venom ducks and when Charlie turns around Venom knocks him down with a spinning wheel kick. Venom makes the cover on Charlie, but The Future gets a shoulder up before the count of three. Venom mounts Charlie and sends fist into the forehead of Charlie.

Venom falls against the ropes bent over, as Charlie stands up mocking the crowd. The automatically boo Charlie, as he shakes his head, and then walks to the corner closest to Venom.

Venom rolls over the ropes and into the ring, and Charlie Velez covers him, 1-2-kick out. Charlie shakes his head, as he then stands up and screams at the referee to open the door. The referee opens the door, and Charlie goes through the middle rope and down the ring steps. Charlie goes under the ring and searches for something, and then pulls out a steel chair!*
Cole: You have to remember that only pinfall counts in this match.
King: I just realized that both of these men go fight around the whole arena, and still have to wait to get into the ring to get the win!
CH: Nobody said you were smart King.
*Charlie holds the steel chair up in the air, and the crowd just boos. Charlie Velez begins to walk back into the cage, but once he gets to the door Venom is up to his feet and dropkicks between the bottom and middle rope, sending the steel chair into the face of Charlie Velez! Charlie drops the chair and falls against the railing, and Venom pulls himself out of the ring. Venom walks up to Charlie and punches him in his face, as Charlie is busted open from the steel chair shot. Venom gets blood all over his fingers, but then grabs the legs from underneath Charlie Velez. Venom looks around and then leans back, sling-shooting Charlie Velez face first into the steel cage!

Charlie Velez lies against the ring steps, and Venom takes a few steps back, staring at his brother in law. Venom just laughs and runs to Charlie and jumps up going for a dropkick, but at the last second Charlie Velez moves out of the way and Venom dropkicks the ring steps, causing them to crash into the railing!*
King: That could have been Charlies head!
CH: Damn, too bad it wasnt.
King: What!?
*Venom slowly gets up holding his knees, but once he gets all the way to his feet Charlie knocks him down with a clothesline. Venom gets back up, but Charlie kicks him in the stomach and grabs him by the head, and throws him into the closed steel cage door!

Charlie screams at Venom, shouting at him to get to his feet. Venom grabs the steel cage to pull himself up, and once he turns to Charlie he gets smashed face first into the ring steps! Blood gushes out of Venoms head, as Charlie drops the ring steps and falls to the padding, trying to get room to breath. Charlie is the first one to slowly get up to his feet, as he opens the door, and then walks to Venom. Blood drips down Venoms face, as Charlie Velez picks him up and slides him into the ring. Charlie makes it up three steps and covers while halfway out of the ring, but Venom kicks out! Charlie finally crawls all the way into the ring, and then grabs onto the top rope to pull himself up. Charlie sends boots into the chest of Venom, and then climbs up the turnbuckle.

King: OH MY GOD!
CH: Talk about a nut shot.
Cole: Charlie and Annette arent going to have kids.

King: What a match!
CH: But Venom went flying off theoff theoff the cage!
King: Welcome to America mate.
CH: Were still in Australia.
King: Oh yeah.
*Charlie sits up and places his hands on his head shocked by that result, and then climbs up to his feet and starts an assault on Venom. Charlie grabs Venom by the hair and screams at him, and then lifts him up to his feet. Charlie whips Venom to the corner, but Venom flips over and holds himself up with the third rope! Charlie is amazed by this and walks up to Venom, but once when Venom sees Charlie in the right position Venom falls down with his legs around Charlies neck, and then hits a Corbata! Charlie rolls in a sitting position, as Venom pushes himself to his feet and runs to Charlie and dropkicks him in the back of the head!

Charlie gets a cheap shot in the stomach on Venom, thus getting an advantage. Venom steps over the ladder so he is sitting down on the top, which allows Charlie Velez to pick him up on his shoulders. Charlie uses every ounce of strength in his body to stand up with Venom on his shoulders, and then leaps off the cage into the ring with his knee out, driving his knee into Venoms stomach with a Stomach Crusher!*
King: Holy shit.
CH: Crikey!
Cole: It looks like Charlie hurt his knee on that maneuver.
*Charlie falls to his back holding his knee as Venom is holding his stomach, as the crowd applause both men for that amazing spot. Charlie uses a lot of his strength to push himself up, as hes now only has one leg to stand on. Charlie hops with one leg to Venom, and lifts him up to his feet and grabs him in a reverse front facelock, taunting the crowd for the Side Effect.

King: Check out this replay.
*They show a close up replay, showing Charlie Velez landing straight on his neck.*
CH: Oh my god.
*Venom rolls off of Charlie and stands up to his feet holding his arms up in the air, as the cage is quickly risen up to the ceiling. Annette slides into the ring and checks on a bloody Charlie, but Charlie Velez doesn't seem to be moving. The referee calls for medical assistance, as bunch of road agents run from the back, with one carrying a stretcher. They slide the stretcher into the ring, and they all check on Charlie, but he doesnt seem to have moved. Venom looks concerned by this, as Annette is crying. They place the stretcher under Charlie and strap him up, and then takes him out. Venom goes outside of the ring staring at this scene as they put Charlie on a roller. Annette walks with Charlie as they push him to the back, as the camera zooms on Venoms bloody face, who is shocked by all this.*
Cole: Venom didnt mean this.
King: God dammit dont you see it Cole? This is an act, Venom meant to hurt Charlie and possibly ruin his damn career of Charlie Velez, someone who he knows is better than him.
CH: Bullshit King. Venom is a human being, and doesnt want to kill a person.
King: Bullshit you, Ive seen this fued get started from the start and I just watched Venom send all his rage onto Charlie Velez. Saying what I said bullshit, fuck you.
Cole: Calm down both of you.
CH: Im going to check on Charlie.
*Suddenly, the arena is plunged into total darkness and the crowd looks on intently with anticipation as then momentarily, the demonic "Red Fist" Symbol of Rage appears on the XtremeTron. Mere moments later, the screen turns to static and the tension builds as after a flurry of drums & guitar riffs kick in, the following words of "Flaw" themselves begin to echo throughout the building..
"There's another reflection involved up in my mind,
A wholeness that has just been lost,
Striving hard for perfection but still nothing to find,
Some value with a cheaper cost,
And as I reach out to hear you the sound is so muffled,
It makes a lesser man of me,
So the only thing left to, bring up to date is...YOU SUCK!!!"
At these very words, BOOM! A HUGE explosion rocks the arena and the entire crowd is on its feet as the chorus of Flaw's classic Revolutionary Redneck tune, "Payback," hits the PA! Moments later, the curtain flips back and without any further adieu, the sadistic figures of XHF Legend Rage himself, and gorgeous wife Torrie Wilson step out onto the top of the stage!! Following this, the two then strut cockily on down the ramp to an overwhelming chorus of boos from this entire sellout crowd of "Ragiacs" joining us here tonight. Thereafter, both finally reach the ring area where once climbing inside, Torrie makes her way over to proudly taunt off to the crowd in front of the nearest ropes, while simultaneously the legendary Bald-Headed Behemoth sets off to do his signature 4 corners salute taunt, raising both his fists & a set of familiar middle fingers defiantly to the crowd & taunting them sadistically from each and every corner. Afterward, the 3-time Ultimate Champ is quick to indeed now help his always-stunning wife from the ring itself, before then turning his fierce eyes upward toward the curtain as he cautiously awaits the emergence of his opposition...*
Cole: Here is Rage. After all the pranks these two pulled it should be good.
King: Go Rage, Brotherhood rules!
*Born Of a Broken Man plays as GD walks down the ramp, climbs on a turnbuckle and taps his right shoulder and raises his right arm. GD then gets into the ring and goes to the opposite turnbuckle and raises both arms then put them down, and puts a smirk on his face as he gets down.*
Cole: Time to set it up.
*A normal topless steel cage is lowered down and technicians latch it to the apron of the ring. Soon after the technicians leave the ominous glass cell is lowered into place leaving about 5 feet between the cage and the cell. The top of the cell is only about 7 and a half feet above the top of the cage.*
GD: Here it is Rage! You are alone in the Doomsday Cage. Welcome to ECF Style wrestling!
*At that the rest of the Brotherhood comes out and sits outside the cell and starts cheering Rage.*

GD then leaps off with a huge cross body block. Rage is on his back barely moving and GD is holding his stomach and rolling in pain. After 8 seconds GD stands and heads to the cage door. He cant get the key to work so he kicks the door open. He heads outside to the space between the cell and the ring. Rage follows slowly but gets the door slammed in his face. Rages face is one big blotch of red and the ring is starting to be stained crimson from the oozing blood. The Brotherhood is desperately cheering Rage.*
King: GD is looking for weapons now.
Cole: Hey Rage has just pulled outside the ring but hes collapsed on the ground.
*GD sees Rage as he pulls out a chair, a ladder, a bat, a trashcan, a stop sign, and then his title. He drops them and goes to Rage. He picks him up and calls for a suplex but Rage reverses and hits a spinebuster slamming GD onto the trashcan and denting it in. Rage slowly stands as GD is up as well. GD moves in but Rage hits a hard kick and then slams his head into the cage wall. As GD comes off the cage, Rage picks up the stop sign.*
Rage: Hey GD . . . stop where you are.
*GD keeps moving forward and walks right into a slam in the head from the sign.*
Rage: Warned him, always read the signs.
*GDs hand is under the ring and as Rage moves in with the bat and lifts it up GD pulls it out and sprays something in Rages face. He immediately drops the bat and falls to the ground clutching his eyes. GD laughs as he slowly stands.*
Cole: Turtle Wax! He sprayed him with Turtle Wax!
King: Rages face is all shiny!
Cole: Idiot.
*GD picks up Rage and then hits a pump handle slam. Rage slowly stands but gets clobbered by a superkick. GD picks him up again and kicks Rage in the gut. He signals for a Sky High but Rage hits a low blow and lifts him up into a Riot Bomb. Both men are down.

They start exchanging blows but then Rage Irish whips GD into the glass cell. He sets up a table. As GD holds his back and walks toward him. He tries for a Fist of Rage but GD slides off onto the table and hits a flying clothesline off the table. Both men are down again. GD is up second this time as Rage jumps on his back and starts punching him in the head. GD grabs Rage under the arms and pulls him up so he is sitting on his shoulders. He turns toward the table and hits a huge Reverse Powerbomb through the table. GD then locks in the Breaking Point trying to destroy Rage. Rage reaches under the ring while screaming in pain. He pulls out a kendo stick and swings backwards hitting GD on the neck making him break the hold. When GD comes back, he rolls and breaks the kendo stick over GDs head. GD is still standing. Rage stands, gives him two single finger solutes and the hits the Fist of Rage right onto the broken table. GD rolls off hurt.*
Cole: Could they possibly injure each other anymore. GD is bleeding now.
*Rage grabs a roll of barbed wire and rolls it out. He doesnt seem to care his hands are bleeding since he grabs it and starts whipping Gravedigger with it. Finally he decides to end it. He starts climbing the cage. He sits on top and waits for GD so he can make sure he doesnt receive another high-flyer move. GD slowly starts to climb. As he gets to the top, Rage kicks him in the head and pulls him up. He starts punching GD. He tosses him over the edge to the ring but GD grabs the side of the cage. Rage doesnt realize and walks along to the corner and cheers to his friends. GD climbs up behind him and hits a Shattered Soul. Both men are out on top of the cage.*
King: This match is brutal. Amazing that a fed like ECF could come up with such a great match!
*GD grabs Rage. Rage pokes him in the eye again. Rage tries to pick up GD for a powerbomb but GD slides off and picks up Rage into a powerbomb position. He lifts him up slamming his head into the glass cell making him fall right into a Sky High. The cell stopped him from turning him to the ring though. Rage is now out on top of the cage. GD looks around and climbs down outside and grabs a steel chair. He climbs back up and puts the chair down. He then smirks and lifts up Rage. He goes for a powerbomb but Rage holds on. So GD hits two quick forearms to the back and a knee to the face. He is about to lift him for a powerbomb but then stops. He hooks both arms and looks down at the ring and sees a chair in the center of the ring.*
Cole: HE WOULDNT!!!
King: He would . . . and he is going to.
*GD lifts Rage up and hits a Free Fall right onto the chair. He is still standing on the cage however and grabs the chair. He breathes deep and then holds the chair to his chest as he leaps off the cage and sandwiches Rage between the two chairs with a huge shooting star press.*
Cole, King, and crowd: HOLY SH*T!!
*But GD bounces off Rage and falls to the side. Both men are out cold. The Brotherhood is stunned, mouths almost to the floor. Surprisingly Rage is the first to move, but all he does is roll over and cringe in pain. He falls down on top of GD. 1 . . . 2 . . . Kick out!!*
Cole: I thought Rage was gonna steal it!!!
King: How did either of them move after all this.
*GD rolls over and immediately grabs his chest. He obviously broke a few ribs. Rages arm is in a weird position and he has a few HUGE lumps on his head. His eyes are glazed and he looks like he has a concussion. The ring is stained red. And after a minute neither man is moving. Finally GD pushes himself up and crawls to Rage and covers. 1 . . . 2 . . . kick out! The whole arena lets out another Holy shit chant. GD falls back and looks to be on the verge of crying after all he went through. He lifts Rage up to his feet. He kicks him in the gut and delivers a Reality Check. He pins. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!*
Winner and still XHF European Champion: Gravedigger
Cole: Gravedigger retains!
King: Man that was brutal.
*Suddenly the cell lifts back up. Torrie is controlling the crane! The Brotherhood smiles and runs into the ring. They start stomping GD. Hicks calls them off and goes to GD as Fury and Renegade get Rage to the back. Hicks laughs at GD and places his head on the steel chair. GD is obviously unconscious. He looks around and grabs the other chair. He wraps it in barbed wire and then goes to GD. He smirks and proceeds to start cracking GDs head with the chair. GD isnt even moving from the blows as more and more cuts open up. After about ten blows Hicks backs up for a huge hit but out of nowhere is spun around by Dagger who came through the crowd and then she hits a Kin-Geri on Hicks. She then hits a hurricanrana and tosses him out of the ring. She attends to GD and calls for help. EMTs come out and rush Gravedigger to the hospital with Dagger by his side. Steve Irwin runs down the ramp and goes back to the commentary table.*
King: Aw, how cute.
Cole: So Steve, how is Charlie?
CH: They rushed him to the hospital, it looks really bad.
King: That damn Venom.
*The arena lights dim and the sounds of Godsmacks ""I Stand Alone"" fill the arena. Smoke covers the stage as the fans get on there feet and begin to cheer the name of the Peoples Champion Scorpion. The curtain is thrown aside and Scorpion appears through the smoke to a huge obviation from the crowd. Scorpion walks down the ramp pausing half way down as white lights flash through the arena as the sound of thunder echoes over the music at the same time. Scorpion continues to the ring and slides in.*
Cole: In my opinion, Scorpion is the biggest threat to Destructions championship.
King: That makes you an idiot then, because Destruction is so much better than Scorpion will ever be.
*The lights go out, and "Frantic" by Metallica blasts throughout the PA system. A green light points to the top of the ramp, and Destruction comes out with a water bottle in his hand once the vocals of the chorus are heard, and the XHF United States Championship around his waist. Tylene Buck walks out from behind the apron, as Destruction pours the water on his head. They then begin to walk down the ramp and then Destructions stops at the bottom, as Tylene walks up the ring steps, and goes through the middle and bottom ropes. He looks around at the fans, and then walks to the side of the ring. Destruction walks up the ring steps and into the center of the apron area, then drinks some water, and then throws the water bottle into the crowd. The song begins to enter the second chorus, and Destruction begins to look around at the crowd, as Tylene Buck comes from behind and unstraps his championship belt, and hands it to him.*
"Frantic tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick tock Frantic tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick tock"
*After the last word Destruction spits the water in the air, while holding both arms up, with the XHF United States championship in one hand, and a white light on him. Destruction then leans his head forward and spits the water at the crowd, and then enters the ring. He walks into the nearest corner of the ring and climbs up the second turnbuckle, and looks around at the crowd. He points around the arena, and then throws his hands up in the air, raises his championship in the air. Destruction stands on the second turnbuckle, and turns around, looking towards Scorpion staring down his opponent, as Tylene Buck stands in the center of the ring with her hands on her hips.*
King: Man, that Tylene is so hot.
CH: Yes she does, very hot.
XHF United States Heavyweight Championship
Scorpion vs. Destruction
*Destruction walks over to the middle of the ring and escorts Tylene out of the ring while Scorpion steps up and stands in the middle of the ring waiting for Destruction. Destruction turns around and stares down Scorpion once again, as he approaches him and stands toe to toe with the challenger in the ring. The two simply stare each other down until Destruction is seemingly laughing in the face of Scorpion. Scorpion continues to stare a moment but he cant take Destruction anymore and fires a right hand in his direction. Destruction blocks it and connects with a right hand of his own to Scorpion. Scorpions head jolts back and he strikes Destruction with one, and Destruction retaliates with another as they begin to trade rights in the middle of the ring. Destruction catches the advantage and begins to send Scorpion staggering back into the corner. Once in the corner, Destruction drives the knee in to the gut of Scorpion, following it up with another right to get Scorpions head back up. Destruction sends Scorpion hard into the opposite corner, causing him to stagger out and Destruction takes him down with powerslam. He stays on him for an early cover but Scorpion gets his foot on the rope after just a count of one.*
King: You see that, early in the match and Scorpion already put his foot on the ropes. What a coward.
CH: He could do whatever he wants.
King: Jeez, you just dont get it do you?
*Destruction and Scorpion both get up at the same time and Scorpion unloads with several furious right hands, not giving Destruction a chance to respond this time. Scorpion begins to slow down, however, and Destruction tries to throw one of his own but Scorpion ducks under, coming around to the back of Destruction and taking him down with a German Suplex! Destruction immediately begins using the ropes to help himself up but Scorpion grabs him by the head and takes him down with a snap suplex. Destruction, takes the blown and rolls to the outside where Tylene comes and the two share a word while Destruction regroups.*
Cole: What do you say about that King?
King: Tylene is hot, I dont blame him.
CH: Youre a lost cause King.
*Scorpion steps to the outside behind Tylene, in front of Destruction and begins to walk over. Destruction begins to back away as Scorpion follows him around to the other side of the ring. Destruction rolls into the ring, Scorpion sliding in after him as Destruction greets him with a boot to the back and drops on him with an axe handle across the side of his head to keep him grounded. Destruction pounces on him, sitting on top of him and firing rights into the forehead of Scorpion before the referee pulls him off of him. Destruction, grabs Scorpion by the head and pulls him to his feet. Destruction, picks him up and drops him back first over his knee with a back breaker. He falls on top of him for the cover, hooking the leg, but Scorpion is still able to kick out after two.*
CH: Nice series of moves from Destruction, trying to keep Scorpion down.
King: See? Destruction is cool.
*Destruction picks him up by the hair and connects with another solid right hand to the head of Scorpion, knocking him back down and Destruction goes for the cover again but Scorpion again kicks out after a count of two. Destruction this time pulls himself to his feet, taking Scorpion with him. Destruction, sets Scorpion up for what looks to be a suplex but Scorpion begins to push Destruction forward with his shoulders. Destruction ends up backing right into a corner, catching the shoulder of Scorpion right into his rib area. Scorpion holds it there a moment to catch a breath and regroup before backing up and driving another shoulder into the stomach of Destruction. He again holds it there but this time for too long as Destruction grabs Scorpion by the hair, pulling his head back and drives a few more right hands into the head of Scorpion, forcing Scorpion back. Scorpion is turned right around by the right hands and falls to one knee. Destruction stands in the corner, waiting for Scorpion to climb to his feet and when he does, comes from behind, taking out the back of the leg of Scorpion.*
Cole: I gotta hand it to Destruction, trying to keep Scorpion down is a great idea. Hurting the legs gets Scorpion hurt when trying to apply the Scorpion Lock.
*Destruction hangs onto the leg of Scorpion and holds it up into the air, giving it a swift kick, right in the same spot he had just attacked to take Scorpion down in the first place, that being the back of the knee. A second kick and Destruction wraps his leg around the one leg of Scorpion and locks in a leg lock. Scorpion begins reaching back in pain as Destruction seems to be pulling on the leg of Scorpion as the hold is still locked in. Destruction lets go of the hold after a short while, still keeping a hold of the leg and drops an elbow on the side of the knee, keeping his elbow over the knee and pull on the foot end of the leg of Scorpion, bending his knee and applying some quick pressure.*
Cole: See, I knew Destruction was going for that.
King: Jealous Cole?
Cole: No.
King: Dammit.
*Destruction eventually lets go of that one as well and placing his hand on the knee of Scorpion, elevates himself and comes down on the knee of Scorpion with his own knees. Destruction now, releases the right knee of Scorpion and backs away completely laughing out to all the fans as Scorpion remains on the mat hunched over, holding his knee and grimacing in pain. Destruction walks back to Scorpion and picks up the leg once again but Scorpion sits up and drives a few rights into the forehead of Destruction, making him let go of the knee as Destruction stumbles back himself. Destruction regroups and sits down on the stomach area of Scorpion once again and fires more rights at the head of Scorpion. His has taken too much at this point, the last right has busted open the head of Scorpion!*
CH: My god! What a punch!
Cole: *cough*steroids*cough*
CH: What was that Cole?
Cole: Oh nothing.
*Destruction gets off of Scorpion, grabbing him by the hair and pulling him up once again. Scorpion is standing on one foot as he has not put that right foot back onto the ground. Destruction locks the head of Scorpion and picks him up for a suplex. Destruction stalls, allowing the blood to flow to the head of Scorpion and it begins to spill out of the wound in the forehead. Destruction falls back and drops Scorpion with the suplex, falling back into the cover. 1...2....Scorpion just gets the shoulder up!*
CH: Scorpion just wont go down!
King: God dammit.
*Destruction sits up and looks back at Scorpion, thinking of what to do next. Destruction grabs the legs of Scorpion and drags him over to the corner. Destruction moves to the outside of the ring, reaching through and grabbing the legs of Scorpion, splitting them around either side of the ring post (he didnt pull him all the way up so nothing was actually "squished" into the pole). Destruction grabs that right leg of Scorpion and looks to be slamming it against the ring post but Scorpion pushes forward with his foot, sending Destruction back into the barricade. Scorpion steps to the outside and the referee begins his ten count. Scorpion grimaces as he stands on that right knee, but he is able to charge forward and clothesline Destruction over the barricade! Scorpion falls over as well and both men are into the Australian crowd!*
CH: And now theyre fighting within my peoples reach!
King: I feel so bad for them.
CH: Shut the hell up you American piece of shit.
*Scorpion is closer to the barricade so he is able to use it and pull himself up, making him the first one to his feet. He greets Destruction with a few rights that send the two back deeper into the crowd and the referee stops the count, heading to the outside to try and gain some control once again. Destruction is just a few feet away from the second barricade that separates the floor seats from the arena seats. Scorpion charges and Destruction back body drops Scorpion. Scorpion doesnt clear the barricade and goes back first! Destruction walks around further into the crowd, the camera focused on Scorpion when Destruction appears again on the other side of the barricade. Destruction has a cable wire, wrapping it around the knee of Scorpion, which hangs over the barricade. Destruction lays down on the other side of the barricade, pulling on the cord, pulling on that knee of Scorpion!*
Cole: Hes trying to destroy that knee of Scorpion!
King: Duh, thats the point.
*Destruction lets go of the cord and makes his way back around to the other side of the barricade. He meets Scorpion on the other side and connects with a few boots to the chest. The referee steps in and forces Destruction back over to the ring area, back over the initial barricade. Scorpion using the far barricade to pull himself up and walks back through the clear path made by the great Australia security, somewhat hobbling back, but does make it. He makes his way back over the next barricade and steps back down on the mat. Destruction, who was hiding down below the barricade, lunges up looking for a hard clothesline, but Scorpion avoids contact, grabbing the side of Destruction and tosses him shoulder/head first into steel steps!*
CH: Oh boy, this match is getting a little bit too brutal.
King: XHF style baby!
*Since the two were back at ringside the referee decided to begin a ten count, Scorpion rolls back into the ring to break up the ten count. Tylene checks on Destruction and helps him up to his feet, which allows Destruction to roll back into the ring. Scorpion greets with a boot to the back, the leg still bothering him, but not enough to slow him down. Scorpion continues to apply the boots to the back of Destruction, kicking him all the way to his feet. Scorpion, whips Destruction across into the ropes and as he comes back, Scorpion takes him down with a hip toss. Destruction bounces right back up into the corner and Scorpion goes corner to corner with a Scorpion Splash! Destruction staggers out of the corner and falls to the mat. Scorpion rolls him over and goes for the cover. 1...2..Tylene pulls on the leg of Scorpion, moving Scorpion off of Destruction.*
CH: Hey she pulled the leg of Scorpion!
King: I didnt see it.
Cole: You dont see anything.
*Tylene turns to the fans and yells out to them, showcasing her accomplishment. Scorpion reaches over the ropes and grabs hold of the hair of Tylene! Scorpion pulls her up onto the apron when Destruction comes from behind and rolls up Scorpion 1,2, Scorpion kicks out!*
King: Dammit almost three.
Cole: That goddamn Tylene causing more of a distraction.
*Tylene jumps down from the apron, Scorpion and Destruction both slowly pulling themselves to their feet. Scorpion and Destruction both get up at about the same time. Scorpion fires away with a right hand but Destruction retaliates with a knee to the gut of Scorpion. Scorpion is whipped into the ropes, and when he comes back, Destruction takes him down with a spinebuster! Destruction bounces up off of Scorpion and falls onto his back, unable to make the cover. Destruction slowly moves over, crawling towards Scorpion and drops the arm over the chest of Scorpion. The cover, 1...2..Scorpion kicks out.*
Cole: Will anything keep Scorpion down!?
King: Ido not know.
CH: This is turning out to be a classic.
*Destruction simply rolls off of Scorpion, both men taking their own sweet time getting to their feet. Scorpion goes for a clothesline but Destruction ducks under reaching back for that neck breaker but Scorpion turns around and has Destructions head set up for the Scorpion Death Drop. Scorpion holds for a moment, making sure he has Destruction set up and drops him with the Scorpion Death Drop!!*
Cole: Scorpion Death Drop!
CH: Scorpion is going to get the win!
King: NO DAMMIT, NO!!
*Scorpion rolls over, draping the arm on Destruction going for the cover. 1...Tylene enters the ring...2...the referee looks up and sees Tylene approaching, he stops the count and gets up over towards Tylene. The referee is now in the face of Tylene trying to get her out of the ring but she continues to try and get over to Destruction and Scorpion, buying Destruction some time! Tylene eventually moves to the apron still screaming over towards the referee. Tylene finally jumps down and Destruction has Scorpions arms hooked for an Eve of Destruction. Scorpion reaches under, pulling the feet out from under Destruction and turns him over for a Scorpion Lock. Scorpion has the legs set and rolls him over, hes got it locked in!*
Cole: Destruction is going to tap he has to tap!
*The look on Tylenes face says it all, Destruction is in trouble. Destruction shaking his head frantically, telling the referee no, he doesnt quit as he reaches for the ropes. Destruction cant quite reach and Tylene decides she needs to jump in and help him out. Tylene jumps on the apron and grabs the attention of the referee. It appears as though Destruction is ready to tap when Scorpion releases the hold and runs into the ropes, running into Tylene taking her down off the apron! Scorpion turns to take a look over at Tylene as the referee moves to the outside to check on her.*
King: Never hit a woman like that dammit!
CH: She interfered in the match!
King: Still doesnt give him the right.
*When Scorpion turns around Destruction is up and sets Scorpion up in a vertical suplex position before picking him up onto his shoulders. Destruction connects with the Countdown to Armageddon! The fact that Tylene has caused all kinds of confusion in this match is now more apparent then ever as Destruction goes to make the cover, and the referee is still on the outside with Tylene! The match has now been left wide open, Destruction, down, battered and exhausted, Scorpion, bloodied, and hes down as well. The referee slides back into the ring and now finally makes the cover. 1....2....Scorpion kicks out! *
King: That was three.
Cole: No, that was two, the referee counted to two.
*Destruction simply rolls off of Scorpion, onto his back, neither man with the energy to get up. Both men, pulling and gripping at the ropes, using them to hold each other up now as well. Destruction staggers out to the middle of the ring. Scorpion quickly turns and surprises Destruction with a Scorpion Plex! Scorpion rolls through and connects with another. Scorpion finishes it off with a Full Nelson Slam, Scorpion has hit Desperate Measures! Destruction is down, arms and legs spread on the mat, he looks completely out. Scorpion is down as well, hes wiping his face, and seemingly rubbing his eyes trying to stay on top of things and crawls over towards Destruction. Scorpion drapes the arm over Destruction, its over. 1....2....Tylene pulls the referee out of the ring! Tylene has suddenly gotten to her feet, and she shoves the referee into the ring post! The referee is now officially down and out!*
Cole: That bitch!
CH: I cant believe she just did that.
*Scorpion rolls off of Destruction as both men lay on the mat, looking up at the lights, neither man making any serious motions and neither aware that the referee is down. Scorpion seems to raise his head a bit, only to drop it, and Destruction follows in doing the same. Scorpion rolls over and sees the referee down on the outside and begins crawling over towards him. Destruction is crawling over the other way towards the end of the ring that is at the bottom of the ramp. Scorpion rolls to the outside and grabs a steel chair! He uses the ring apron and begins to slowly stagger over to where Destruction is heading. Tylene comes from behind Scorpion and tries grabbing the chair. Scorpion startled throws an elbow back and strikes Tylene in the side of the head! Scorpion stops and looks concerned for a brief moment but seems to quickly realize that she shouldnt have gotten involved and continues over towards Destruction. Destruction appears to be reaching for something as his upper body is hanging over the side of the ring apron, lower body in the ring and his hands are behind the ring curtain. Scorpion however, not waiting to see what Destruction was doing, turns the corner and strikes Destruction over the back with a steel chair! Destruction raises his head and lets out a loud scream as Scorpion raises the chair and strikes him again right across the back!*
King: Hes cheating!
Cole: Destruction has been cheating the whole damn match.
CH: Yeah.
*This time Destruction falls right to the outside, on his back and Scorpion lets down the chair, leaning up against the ring apron, still exhausted, and beaten, still feeling the effects on his knee. Destruction begins crawling away towards the ramp and Scorpion picks up the chair once again. Scorpion looks to strike the back once again but Destruction rolls away, avoiding the blow! Destruction, after turning over, gets his foot up and kicks the chair back into the face of Scorpion, and down goes Scorpion. Were now back to square one with both men down, this time on the outside and a chair laying between the two.*
CH: This is great action here.
Cole: I love my job.
*Destruction reaches up and grabs the top of the barricade, pulling himself up to his feet. Destruction, using the barricade and ring apron for support staggers back over towards the ring. He stops and bends over reaching in the same area under the ring that he was earlier but Scorpion lunges at him, partially on top of Destruction and begins firing rights towards Destruction, sliding off and still firing rights to a hunched over Destruction but Destruction back up and drives Scorpions lower back into the side of the ring! Scorpion arches his back and lets out a loud scream, obviously in pain as Destruction does it again! Destruction stuffs Scorpion back into the ring and again reaches under the apron. Tylene is now once again up on the other side of the ring and applauding Destruction, as though she knows what hes going for. Destruction comes back up with sledgehammer in hand!*
CH: Oh no.
Cole: Destruction is sick, SICK!!
King: You say that so much that its lost all meaning.
*Destruction holds the sledgehammer up in front of him, breathing heavily as he slowly slides back into the ring. Scorpion is trying to pull himself up to his feet and Tylene begins to attempt to revive the referee. Scorpion climbs to his knees and looks up at Destruction with the sledgehammer. Scorpion gets a hand up as if asking Destruction not to, but Destruction takes the sledgehammer and drives it right into the head of Scorpion, attacking the already busted open forehead! Scorpion falls back to the mat, eyes shut, motionless on the mat, Scorpion is out cold.*
Cole: Hes trying to kill him!
*Destruction drops the sledgehammer and slides it to the outside while Tylene is helping the referee back into the ring. Destruction, looking a little dazed himself still, falls on top of Scorpion for the cover. The referee slowly sliding over to make the count. 1.....2.....Scorpion just gets the shoulder up, just as the referees hand was to hit the mat for three! Destruction rolls off of him, holding his head, in disbelief as Scorpion just will not go down!*
Cole: What will it take for Scorpion to go down?
CH: Youre going to have to kill him.
King: Destruction can do that.
*Destruction, using the ropes gets to his feet, and picks up Scorpion as well now. Scorpion trying to defend himself, takes a swing but misses and Destruction has him locked for an Overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Scorpion, uses his head, literally and connects with a head but to Destruction. Destruction staggers back and Scorpion takes him down with a hard clothesline! Scorpion immediately rolls to the outside and grabs that steel chair he had earlier and slowly rolls back into the ring. Tylene sees the chair and is out raged jumping up onto the apron and shouting at the referee. Scorpion is up, he raises the chair as Destruction turns and Scorpion cracks the skull of Destruction with the steel chair!*
King: Come on referee how could you not see that?
Cole: Tylene distracted him thats why.
*Scorpion slides the chair out of the ring and falls on top of Destruction. He finds enough in him to hook the leg and yells at the ref to turn around. The referee turns his head slightly and sees the cover being made. He now completely ignores Tylene, who has not gotten down off the apron and makes the count. 1...2...Destruction somehow gets the shoulder up!*
King: YES!
*Now its Scorpion rolling off, simply laying on his back taking his own sweet time, again nobody getting up. Tylene jumps down from the apron, a little bit calmer since Destruction kicked out, but is still irate and is pounding on the mat for Destruction to get up. It would appear shes gone mad as she is pounding the mat relentlessly and screaming at the top of her lungs for Destruction to get up. Scorpion, rolls over, placing his hand on the chest of Destruction to pull himself up and grabs the legs of Destruction. Scorpion, trying to muster the strength to not just turn him over but to fight off the resistance from Destruction. Scorpion manages to roll him over and he has the Scorpion Lock locked in!*
Cole: Scorpions going to win it!
CH: This match has been amazing, and Im loving it.
*Destruction reaching for the ropes, screaming in pain, he cant reach them. Hes trying to pull himself to the ropes but cant do it. Destruction sees no way out when suddenly Scorpion drops the legs, releasing the hold and falling forward onto the mat. Hes breathing heavily, the blood still pouring from his forehead, hes just taken too much and though hes not giving up, and still continuing, Scorpion has lost all energy. Destruction sees the opportunity and crawls a few extra feet, clutching the ropes to pull himself up. Destruction turns after getting to his feet, Scorpion, realizing he has to get up has gotten to his knees. Destruction simply hooks the arms of Scorpion and wastes little time dropping him with the Eve of Destruction!*
King: Scorpion just gave up!
*Destruction sits there on his knees, looking down at Scorpion, looking a little dazed still himself and does not go for the cover. The referee is down and ready to count but Destruction takes a look at him and shakes his head no. He pulls himself up to his feet, Tylene looking on confused as to why he did go for the cover. Destruction picks up Scorpion and drops him with another Eve of Destruction. This time he rolls over for the cover. 1...2...3!*
Winner and still XHF United States Champion: Destruction
King: YES!!
Cole: It took Destruction two Eve Of Destructions to keep Scorpion down.
CH: Encore, encore!
*Destruction rolls off of Scorpion, as the referee raises his hand from the ground hes laying on. Destruction slides over and sits up in the corner, breathing heavily himself after a long and grueling match with Scorpion. Tylene enters the ring with the United States Title and places it in the hands of Destruction. Tylene and Destruction sitting in the corner looking at Scorpion, still down, still motionless, heavy breathing from Scorpion as well. Tylene leaves the ring and Destruction rolls out after her. Between her support and the support of the guardrail Destruction is able to walk out of there with the United States Title over his shoulders.*
CH: Awesome match.
Cole: Talking about awesome matches, the next match will involve a legend in our business. Lets see this video production has done for us.
*The camera opens up, and its old footage of Rhein in the BDDWF. One by Metallica is slowly heard in the background, as Rhein is seen picking up wins and Goring people in the ring. The guitar slowly enters as Rhein is walking down the ramp, and him in the ring posing to the fans. The drums hit, with Rhein hitting multiple clotheslines, and stopping once he hits them. The vocals then kick in.*
I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God, wake me
*The chorus hits and Rhein hitting people with the Legend Maker and defeating Hanz for the European Title is shown. Rhein then sending Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle through a table winning the Tag Team championship with Slain.*
Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
In Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me
*Rhein defeating Rage and Hanz for the United States Championship, then Rhein Goring Goldust at Night Of Champions shows, as the chorus kicks in once again.*
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God, wake me
Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God, help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me
*Rhein now defeating Hanz once again, but this time for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship, and all his title defenses. A clip of hitting Destruction with a chair is shown, and then Goring Reeshi through the cage at the XHF Birthday show. The drums repeat to hit, and the vocals enters with Rhein facing Millennium at Xtreme Impact.*
Darkness
Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell
*Rhein holding the XHF Ultimate Title in the air, and then him and Slain defeating The Dark Parade for the Tag Team championship. Rheins history flashes the screen all at once, as the instrumentals enter, showing all of Rheins championship wins and defenses.*
Landmine
Has Taken My Sight

Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell
*Rhein giving a piledriver to The Scarecrow, and then Goring Brain Doggy Dog through the Greenhouse. Rhein holding his arms up in victory after his match with Reak at Night Of Champions II, and then Rhein knocking Scorpion off the ladder at Retribution. The second to last drum hits and Rhein coming down for his first match in his career is shown, and then with the last drum Rhein is making his entrance for his match at End Of Days.*
King: Awesome.
*The corrupt sound of ELO's take on the classical piece "In the Hall of the Mountain King" starts up as the arena goes dark. The XtremeTron looks as if a hole is being burned through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird, suddenly, the entire area of the "bird" lights up with flames, a phoenix. The letters "XHF" fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on. The song continues as a black bird image emblazoned with "XHF" is projected onto the ring mat. The letters "H" and "F" are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross forming an "X". As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks out, under the large "X" above him. He is wearing his Without Remorse Wrestling Federation Phoenix Championship around his waist as he flicks off booing fans on his way to the ring*
Crocodile Hunter: Crikey! He's not even wearing an XHF Championship!
King: Do you have any idea who your talking about
CH: Not really
King: Ugh, that's Mongo the Destroyer, he's the owner of the XHF
CH: Crikey!
*'mOBSCENE' by Marylin Manson starts up the XHF crowd. 'As the beginning part plays, a strobe light flickers around the crowd, and 'The Human Masterpiece' appears in black letters, with the points of the letters spiked on the white background on the XtremeTron. The crowd cheers heavily, as fog begins to pour from the stage, with the strobe lights flickering through it. Then, nobody appears from behind the curtain, Mongo stands in the ring and looks out at an empty entrance ramp*
CH: Crikey! Where could he be?!
Cole: I don't know
King: Wow, Cole I think I found someone more annoying that you
Cole: Thank you, I think
*Mongo stands there as the music continues to play, but no Rhein. Mongo goes over to the side of the ring facing the commentators table and calls for a microphone, it's handed to him and he goes back toward the entranceway side of the ring*
Mongo: Ok Rhein, you're not coming out huh? I figured you wouldn'tpussy..
*Suddenly Rhein comes from behind Mongo, one assumes from out of the crowd and delivers a clothesline that sends Mongo to the outside! The bell rings and the greenhouse begins to descend, this match is on!*
Greenhouse Match
Rhein The Killa vs. Mongo The Destroyer
*Mongo quickly recovers as Rhein heads to outside the ring as well. The two begin to trade blows and as they do, they move farther from the ring. Mongo lands a large fist, then trips Rhein and forces him head first into the ramp! Rhein rolls over in pain and Mongo kicks him in the gut. Mongo then stands over Rhein and waits for him to get up. As Rhein is getting up, Mongo again begins to send fists into him, but Rhein lands a powerful uppercut that sends Mongo reeling up the ramp backwards!*
CH: Crikey! They're moving AWAY from the ring!
Cole: Yeah, and the greenhouse is on its way down, these two might be locked out!
*Mongo and Rhein continue to brawl their way up the ramp as the greenhouse beings its final decent on the immediate ring area. As they near the top of the ramp, Mongo knees Rhein in the gut and throws him into the Overheated set headfirst! Rhein's skull bounces off of the set and he collapses onto his back. Mongo walks up to Rhein, picks him up, and tosses him off of the entranceway!*
CH: Crikey! He just fell like 30 feet!
Cole: I'd say it's more like 15
*Rhein struggles around on the ground as Mongo begins to descend the ramp. As Mongo makes his way down, the greenhouse lands outside the ring, leaving both men outside of it! Mongo walks all the way down and goes up to the side of the glass; he knocks on it, and is suddenly driven into the side of the greenhouse by Rhein! Mongo stumbles, but then regains his composure. He grabs Rhein and whips him into the corner of the greenhouse, but Rhein reverses and Mongo goes into it! As he hits the corner of the greenhouse the supporting beam in the corner bends and all the glass around it shatters to the ground. Mongo stumbles and falls onto the guardrail. Rhein walks over as Mongo regains his breath, and just as Mongo begins to get up, Rhein takes him down with a spinning wheel kick!*
Cole: These two men are battling out on the outside of the greenhouse!
*Mongo struggles to his knees as Rhein comes with a massive knee to the face. Mongo goes down again. Rhein pulls Mongo up to his feet, then gets him in a suplex position, he pulls, but Mongo blocks it, he tries again, and again Mongo blocks it, suddenly, Mongo overpowers Rhein and suplexes him right through the wall of the greenhouse!*
Cole: Oh my god he put him through the damn greenhouse!
*Mongo gets up and goes over to the ring, he starts digging underneath it, and pulls out a ladder! Mongo goes to the outside with it, but is tripped by Rhein, Mongo stumbles as Rhein gets up quickly and puts him down with a clothesline. With Mongo down, Rhein grabs the ladder and brings it over to the other side of the greenhouse, then sets it up. After he sets it up, Rhein begins to climb the ladder, but suddenly, a panel of glass near him breaks and a hand comes through and grabs Rhein's leg!*
Cole: Mongo is stopping Rhein's accent!
*Rhein shakes his foot, but Mongo refuses to let go from the other side of the glass, he begins ripping away other panels to open up more room, but Rhein sits on the ladder and kicks Mongo's hand off, then quickly scales the ladder to the top of the greenhouse!*
CH: Crikey! He's on the top of the glass structure!
*Mongo's hand pulls back into the greenhouse, moments later he comes charging through the side of it with a massive shoulder block! Rhein takes a breather as Mongo begins to ascend the ladder. When his head begins to poke up above the greenhouse, Rhein goes right in for it, and begins laying fists into Mongo; Mongo however still climbs the rest of the ladder and stands on the top of it! Rhein lands a big fist to the gut and Mongo leans over in pain, Rhein the grabs him by the neck, and leans out over the greenhouse, he then lifts up Mongo and nails a suplex that sends Mongo through the greenhouses roof!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!
*As Mongo falls he lands just inside the ring, hitting his head on the top rope. Mongo grabs his head and rolls around in agony as Rhein begins to descend the ladder. Rhein goes down the ladder, and then goes into the greenhouse where Mongo had run through it. He goes to the side of the ring where Mongo is, and pulls his head out below the bottom turnbuckle; he then drops an elbow on Mongo's face. Mongo curls up into a ball in pain and Rhein slides into the ring. He rolls Mongo onto his back and goes for a pin, 1-2- Mongo kicks out with authority and sends Rhein across the ring. Mongo sit up quickly, regaining his strength and sends a recovering Rhein out of the ring with a big clothesline. Rhein rolls on the outside as Mongo steps over the top rope and down to the ringside. Both men are now on the same side at which they originally entered as Mongo pulls up Rhein and throws him headfirst into the unbroken corner of the greenhouse. Rhein's head breaks two panels of glass on either side of his face. Mongo then again reaches under the ring, this time finding a sledgehammer. He runs at Rhein who is standing in the corner and swings, but Rhein ducks at just the right moment, sending the hammer flying through the glass and completely destroying the corner's support beam. Several panels on that side crack and a large creak emanates from the mighty glass structure*
Cole: I don't know if this greenhouse will be able to be used again!
King: I don't know if these wrestlers will be able to be used again!
*As Mongo throws down the sledgehammer in anger, Rhein delivers a running knee to Mongo's stomach. Mongo doubles over and Rhein lifts him up and hits the Chaostrify onto the broken glass! Rhein slides into the ring and begins to taunt Mongo to get up and into the ring! Mongo rolls in the broken glass as blood starts to appear around him, he slowly climbs to his feet and painfully pulls the glass out of his hands. Mongo then looks over at a taunting Rhein, but just waves his hand at him, and then Mongo goes to the barricade and leans over it. Rhein doesn't know what to think as he watches Mongo pull out a ladder from the other side of the barricade!*
CH: Crikey! Mongo must have had that incase of an emergency!
King: Nothing gets past you does it Croc Hunter?
*Mongo carries the ladder the side facing the commentators' table, and sets it up. Rhein shakes his head in the ring, then darts out of the ring and to the other ladder! The two begin climbing up, Rhein faster than Mongo. As Mongo nears the top, Rhein has already made it and is now standing on the greenhouse again. Mongo gets to the top and Rhein moves in for the kill, he begins punching at Mongo, but this time Mongo lands a haymaker on Rhein that sends him stumbling backwards and almost through the hole Mongo's body already made! Rhein balances on the edge of the hole as Mongo gets to his feet on the top of the cell. The two look at each other with anger. Rhein comes at Mongo with what appears to be the gore but Mongo nails Rhein with a big boot! Rhein collapses and Mongo picks up in what appears to be a reverse Death Valley Driver position. As Mongo holds Rhein on his shoulders he lets out of shout of "OLD SCHOOL!" Then delivers the Hell Pound to Rhein through the cell!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!! That's the move that started all of this!
King: I never thought he'd hit that!
CH: CRIKEY!
*Mongo looks at Rhein laying in the ring, conveniently face up and spread out. Mongo looks up at the crowd with a sick look in his eye's, then jumps off the top through the hole and right onto Rhein with a HUGE body splash!*
Cole: And it keeps getting worse for Rhein!
*Mongo stays on Rhein as the ref counts, 1-2- Mongo pulls up Rhein's head and shoulders! Mongo gets up and begins to parade around the ring. Rhein huffs and puffs and begins to get to his feet, as soon as he does, Mongo again floors him with a huge clothesline. Rhein seems to be going out of it as Mongo pulls him up by his hair and picks him up. Mongo holds Rhein above his head for half a minute, walking around the ring, then throws him into the side of the greenhouse, Rhein's body just bounces off and lands on the floor. Mongo then goes over the top rope and to the outside where Rhein lays, clenching his fists, trying to reach inside*
Cole: It looks like Rhein is trying to reach inside himself and gain some strength!
*Mongo again brings Rhein to his feet, he then grabs Rhein's head and smashes it through the side of the greenhouse! Rhein leans on the remaining part of the wall as blood trickles down it. Mongo smiles sadistically as he picks Rhein up and throws him back over the top rope, Rhein rolls in the ring, then uses the ropes to pull himself up. Mongo slides himself into the ring and Rhein walks over and begins to lay the boots into Mongo before he can get up. Slowly, as Rhein kicks at him, Mongo is able to get to one knee, he then low blows Rhein*
Cole and King: OUCH!
CH: CRIKEY!
*Rhein doubles over and Mongo picks him up as if for an Awesome Bomb, but Mongo holds Rhein up in it, he then walks to the side of the ring, opposite to the one he last threw Rhein off. Mongo then throws Rhein at the greenhouse and Rhein goes crashing through the side! Rhein rolls to his knees and clenches his fists, looking deep for something to hold on to. Mongo mocks him in the ring, Rhein sees this and bolts up, he comes running through the hole he just made and slides into the ring, he begins to punch at Mongo, but Mongo firmly grabs him by the throat!*
Cole: Mongo just wont stop! Things look bad for Rhein!
*Mongo holds onto Rhein's throat and Rhein begins to fade. Rhein's fists clench, but then fall, clench, then fall. Rhein drops to one knee as Mongo gets a huge smile on his face, Rhein fades, and fades. Then his head drops, Mongo opens his eyes wide and looks around at the crowd smiling sadistically. Suddenly, Rhein's head bolts up and a very determined look appears on his face*
Cole: I think Rhein might be coming back!
*Rhein sends a hard right into the gut of Mongo, Mongo doubles over and Rhein, with newfound power gives Mongo the California Cutter! Mongo falls hard and Rhein goes for the pin 1-2- Mongo just kicks out. Rhein gets up and paces around the ring, he goes by the ropes and waits for Mongo, as he does, he moves his feet as if he's preparing to charge*
CH: Crikey! That's what the Rhinos do!
Cole: I think this might be the end for Mongo here
*As Mongo gets to his feet and wobbles around, Rhein charges with the Gore, but Mongo sidesteps it and throws Rhein through the second rope and into the glass supporting the side with the two knocked out corners! Rhein flies through the glass, the greenhouse lets out a large groan, then that whole side falls to the ground!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!
CH: CRIKEY!
King: That's going to be expensive!
*Glass flies everywhere including into the crowd as Rhein just barely rolls out of the way of the collapsing roof. Mongo stands in the center of the ring, his eyes wide open in shock, as the camera looks at him through the hole in the now slanted roof of the greenhouse. Rhein stands up quickly, and with a determination in his eyes not seen in at least a year he locks looks with Mongo through the whole in the roof. The two stand there, then as cameras flash from everywhere, Rhein bolts up the side of the roof, jumps through the hole in it and comes in full force on Mongo with the gore!!*
Cole: GORE!!!!!!!!!!!
*Mongo goes down and stays down, instead of going for a pin though, Rhein pulls Mongo to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Mongo goes for a clothesline, but Rhein ducks it and hits the Decypher!*
CH: Crikey! That move could be a real Legend Maker!
*Before Rhein can get the pin, Mongo starts to get up, Rhein flashes a smile and is ready for anything Mongo can bring. As Mongo gets to his feet, Rhein grabs Mongo by the head and again picks the big man up! This time Rhein lifts Mongo for a suplex, and then hits the Rolling Takeout! Mongo rolls out of the ring holding his neck as Rhein paces around the ring. Mongo rolls close to the ring and reaches under it, Rhein goes to investigate and ends up on the receiving end of a spray from a fire extinguisher. Rhein falls back holding his eyes as Mongo rolls to his feet and slides in with the fire extinguisher. As Rhein is getting up, Mongo nails Rhein with it! Rhein falls flat on the mat and Mongo looks around the crowd with his eyes very big. Mongo then waves his hand up to his ear as the crowd begins to boo*
Cole: He isn't
King: He couldn't..
CH: What is going on?
*Mongo bounces back and forth on the ropes and then jumps for the Xtreme Legdrop, but Rhein rolls out of the way. Rhein rolls to his feet as Mongo gets up. Rhein goes at Mongo, but Mongo knees him in the junk.*
King & Cole: EEK!
CH: Uhh..CRIKEY!
*Mongo then puts Rhein's head between his legs and puts his arms out in either directing. Mongo then picks up Rhein for the Xtreme Edge, but Rhein wriggles out of it! Before Mongo can turn around, Rhein hits a German suplex, then holds it for the pin! 1-2- And Mongo kicks out! Rhein rolls to his feet and waits for Mongo to get up. As soon as Mongo does, Rhein whips him to the corner, Mongo hits and falls down. Rhein then goes to the corner and sets Mongo up and hits the Downward Crush! He lets Mongo go into the turnbuckle and fall back. Then Rhein pulls Mongo up, kicks him in the gut, takes a deep breath, and hits Mongo with the Rules of evidence! 1-2-3!
Winner & Free of Contractual Duties: Dominic "Rhein the Killa" Retondo
Cole: What a match and what a career!
*Mongo struggles around in the ring but then calls for a microphone. A stagehand brings him one, and helps him up. Mongo then begins to speak*
Mongo: Rhein, you did it, you showed me that you are still the best out there, and although I hate to allow it, you will now be freed of your contract Bongo! Bring out Rhein's contract!
*Men at Work's "Down Under" blasts as XHF mainstay, Bongo, walks out with a big smile a piece of paper on a clipboard. He walks down as the fans cheer and Rhein gets a big look in his eyes, like a kid in a candy shop. Bongo gets down to the destroyed greenhouse and looks for a way in, finally he opts to bend down and go through an opening in the wall. He crawls into the ring, which is covered in glass, and stands up*
Mongo: Ok now Bongo, give me the clipboard
*Bongo does and Mongo holds Rhein's contract in the air as Rhein stares at it. Then, slowly, Mongo proceeds to tear it in half. Mongo then hands the pieces to Rhein and Rhein takes them gratefully, then begins to leave*
Mongo: Whoa-whoa-whoa!
*Rhein turns around*
Mongo: There's something else I want to give you
*Rhein cautiously goes back to Mongo. Mongo looks Rhein in the eyes, and sticks out his hand, gesturing for a handshake. Rhein looks at Mongo's hand, then his face, then his hand again, and finally clasps Mongo's hand in a handshake, which Mongo leans in and pats Rhein on the back. The Mongo pulls back*
Mongo: Rhein, I want to thank you for all that you have done for the XHF. Hell, if it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be fans out there, there wouldn't be any XHF brand PPVs, hell, there wouldn't be an XHF, you were one of the first people aboard the ship and hell you drove it. Thank you, for all that you've done, and best of luck to you in the future
*"mOBSCENE" then hits as Mongo raises Rhein's arm in victory. Then the two head to the back*
*The lights dim and Slayer's "South Of Heaven" starts. The guitar riffs start out slowly and continue on for about forty seconds, the drums kick in and lead the crowd into the theme of "Primetime" Chris Sanders. Gold confetti shoots into the air in simultaneous movement with the drumbeats. The vocals kick in as the crowd watches the entranceway, for Chris Sanders.
An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time
Unsuspecting victims no warnings no sign
Judgment day the second coming arrives
before you see the light you must die!
One big gold pyro explodes at the end of the verse and from the smoke stands "Primetime" Chris Sanders along with Trish Stratus, Stratus starts making her way towards the ring as her boyfriend stands in the entrance way longer, with his back towards the ring.
Forgotten children confirm a new faith
Avidity and lust controlled by hate
The never-ending search for your shattered sanity
Souls of damnation in their own reality.
Sanders turns and slowly makes his way to the ring, ignoring the fans. He stares at the ring, where Trish is now straddling the second rope, basically to get a cheap pop from the fans. Sanders continues his path.
Chaos rampant in an age of distrust
Confrontations impulsive habitat
Bastard sons begat your cunting daughter
promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers
Ingrate souls condemned for all eternity
Observe by moral judgment in dominary deity...
Sanders steps into the ring and goes to the right corner, where his girlfriend assists him with his boxing robe, after taking the robe off he gets on the top turnbuckle and raises his fist to the sky and the fans boo him continuously until he gets down, he motions to the entrance way for his opponent to come down, before yawning...making a mockery of his opponent, before he even shows his face.*
Cole: Here is Chris Sanders.
CH: And here, we have a prime specimen of the species known as Primetime.
King: This guy isnt serious is he?
*Speculum by Adema hits the PA and Lance Storm emerges from behind the curtain wearing the X*Crown Championship around his waist and holding the belts up in the air at the top of the ramp to a huge chorus of boo's. Just as the song starts to pick up Storm makes his way down the ramp flaunting his titles as people yell things and flip him off. Storm gets into the ring and proceeds to the opposite side and poses on the ropes holding the titles up in the air as the crowd continues to boo. He then hops off the ropes and walks to the corner and begins stretching as his music dies down.*
X*Crown Championship
PCW Primetime Championship to be added to the X*Crown

"Primetime" Chris Sanders (PCW Primetime Champion) vs. Lance Storm (X*Crown Champion)
*The bell is rung and the two men grapple in the center of the ring. Sanders knees Storm in the gut. He whips Storm off the ropes and hits a back body drop. Storm rolls to his feet and they start exchanging right hands and not getting anywhere fast.*
CH: Crikey! Its a battle for dominance. Danger, Danger, Danger!! I love it!
Cole: Hey Steve, this is wrestling not nature watching.
King: Were you dropped on your head as a child? Or traumatized by a dingo?
CH: No . . . my parents owned a reptile preserve and I . . . love animals. And these blokes are obviously fighting for territory or some Sheila around here somewhere. Absolutely fascinating!
Cole: Right . . .
*Storm finally gets the upper hand with a hard kick to the shin and a jaw crusher. Sanders stands and is greeted by a standing dropkick. He stands and gets the same result. He stands but ducks this time and Storm misses the dropkick and Sanders grabs him and turns it into an atomic drop. He then starts stomping the hell out of Storm before Storm rolls out of the ring. The ref starts the ten count. Sanders rolls out at 5 restarting the count. He walks over to Storm but gets a drop toehold and his face slams into the barricade and he falls back holding his nose. Storm stands and grabs Sanders. He whips him and Sanders goes shoulder first into the ring steps as they pop up and land in the same spot giving no leeway. Storm rolls into the ring. He backs to the corner. Sanders slowly enters the ring. Storm charges and goes for a superkick but Sanders ducks and kicks out his other leg. He then opens his leg and hits a leg drop to the groin and stomach areas. He mounts Storm and begins punching. He then goes into a blatant choke and the ref starts a 5 count. 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . he breaks it as the ref warns him. Sanders backs off hands in the air. He moves back to Storm and goes to pick him up but when he bends, Lance hooks in a small package for a 2 count.*
CH: Oh, the Stormer species almost made the Primetime species extinct.
Cole: Wheres Gravedigger when you need him?
King: Hell wheres Buttons or those crocs for that matter!?!?
*Sanders rolls up mad as hell and tries to clothesline Storm but Lance ducks and hooks the leg. He rolls through and turns it into the Canadian Maple Leaf. The ref checks for a tap out but Sanders wont give. He pulls himself slowly to the ropes. He gets closer and closer and collapses in pain. He pushes himself back up and almost reaches but Storm walks him back to the center of the ring. Sanders still wont quit. Finally he half rolls over and uses his free leg to hit an inverted enziguri type maneuver knocking Storm away. He pulls himself into the corner and slowly pulls himself up trying to keep his weight on his good leg. His right leg is injured from the move. He hobbles to the center of the ring as Storm leaps to the top and comes off with a flying spinning heel kick. Sanders catches the leg and turns him into a reverse Achilles lock. Storm screams in pain as his left foot is twisted and crushed by the lock on the tendon. Storm quickly pushed up and pulls himself over to the ropes. Sanders wont break the hold. 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . he breaks it and hops on his left leg back to the opposite ropes as Storm grabs his foot and stands not nearly as hurt as Sanders. Sanders uses all his energy to run and hit a diving shoulder block. He stands but on one leg as Storm rolls to the opposite side and stands. He charges right into a tilt-o-whirl slam. Sanders pins. 1 . . . 2 . . . kick out. Storm sends a kick to the chest of Sanders and then brings himself up to one knee. Sanders goes for a clothesline but Storm rolls forward under it to his feet and decks Sanders when he turns around with a huge Superkick. He pins and gets a three count.*
Fall One: Lance Storm
Cole: Well that was great. Now is the hardcore match.
CH: Now small children may not want to watch as sometimes when animals decide to get . . . as Mikey here put it . . . hardcore . . . things can get pretty ugly.
King: *stunned* . . . I . . . That is just wrong Steve, he means they get weapons now! AGH! Bad mental picture, Im going to lose my lunch, dinner, and after dinner snack!
CH: I had a nice Dingo Burger for lunch.
King: OOP! *hurls on Steve*
*Storm is outside the ring getting weaponry for the second fall when the bell rings. Sanders rolls out the other side. Sanders grabs a trash can lid and throws it into the ring and then gets a cookie tray. Storm throws two chairs, a trashcan, a kendo stick, two kali sticks (Blackmans party sticks), and a nightstick into the ring and rolls in holding a bat surrounded in barbed wire as well as a barbed wire-wrapped flaming 2 x 4. He looks up and Sanders isnt there. He goes to the ropes and looks out and Sanders who was sitting against the ring swings up and knocks Storm back into the ring with the tray and he lands on the trash can lid. Sanders goes back in holding his jaw and still limping. He grabs the 2 x 4 and hits Storm with it before it burns down to his hand and he throws it next to Steve Irwin.*
Cole: Steve . . . your pants are . . .
CH: (Interrupting) Nice, yes I know.
King: No Croc Dude, they are on fire.
*Steve begins hopping up and down before stuffing his foot in a bucket of water near the ring. As he does, Sanders tosses Storm out of the ring on top of him. He tries to hit Storm with the chair but hits Steve instead. He then rolls Steve to the announce table unconscious.*
King: Danger, Danger, Danger!! . . . he was right!
*Storm stands and is greeted with a kendo stick to the gut. Sanders pushes him into the barricade. He tries to hit him with the chair again but Storm moves and Sanders hits the wall and hurts his fingers. Storm grabs him and tries for a short arm clothesline but Sanders ducks and whips him face first into the steel ring post as Storm hits it and his legs swing out and he lands face first on the ground on the other side of the ring post. Sanders gets the other chair and grabs a chair in each hand by the folding part. Storm stands and gets a conchairto from Sanders. Storm falls to the mat and appears to be out cold. Sanders taunts to the crowd. He walks over to the fallen body of Storm and locks in a Boston Crab. Storm is not moving. The ref checks him and lifts the arm. It falls back to the floor. He lifts it a second time to the same result. He lifts it a third but it remains up as Storm starts fighting. He is madly trying to break the hold. Finally he pushes up enough to push his legs back making Sanders do a front flip and land on his back. Both men are down now.*
Cole: OH! That was awesome.
CH: *Waking up and sitting in his seat again* Ouch. Look at the pure struggle amongst these mighty blokes.
King: Kill him please Cole.
*Storm rolls over and pulls himself into the ring. He grabs the bat and waits. Sanders climbs up the apron and Storm swings and cracks him in the face. Sanders falls into the barricade and rolls to the floor. Storm goes up for a top rope elbow drop but Sanders moves letting Storm crash to the ground. Sanders slowly reaches under the ring and pulls out a cowbell. He goes over to Storm who is standing and slams him in the back of the head with it. He then hits an Aura Breaker. He pins for a 3.*
Second Fall: Primetime Chris Sanders
Cole: Tied at 1.
CH: These animals are locked in a stalemate. Man this doesnt get much better. Except if I had a fresh rack of ribs on the barbie . . .
King: Shut up Croccy. Before I Crikey your ass!
Cole: Im being told this is a totally different Inferno Match, thanks to Mongo Corp! The ropes are on fire, and you win by pin or submission.
King: So if youre on fire, you still have to continue the match?
Cole: Yes.
King: SWEET!
*They light the ropes on fire after both men roll into the ring. Sanders taunts the crowd while Lance tries to stand. They meet in the center of the ring exchanging punches again. Sanders goes for a hard right but Storm ducks and hooks the arm. He tosses him back and into the flaming ropes. Sanders bounces off and grabs his back. A part of his back is burned. He charges at Storm again but Lance hits a running calf kick on the leg he injured before knocking Sanders down.*
Cole: This fall should be fast after the beating these guys were giving each other.
*Storm goes for a stomp but Sanders grabs his leg and knocks him over making his neck land on the ropes. Storm falls to the ground holding his now burned neck. Sanders stands up and picks up Storm. He hits a rolling German Suplex. Storm breaks the bridge quick and rolls under the ropes.*
King: Theyre on their last legs!
*Storm finally gets back into the ring. Sanders hits a clothesline. Storm stands again. Sanders goes for a superkick but Storm catches it and drops into the Canadian Maple Leaf on the injured leg. Sanders cant grab the ropes so he taps out.*
Winner and still XHF X*Crown Champion: Lance Storm
Cole: And Lance Storm defeats Chris Sanders, retaining his X*Crown Championship!
King: Wow, that was great.
CH: And I think we have one match left.
*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...
Uncurable
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 and through it all walks Reeshi as the Burn to Burn is now into high gear. Reeshi is greeted with a mix reaction from the fans. He slowly walks down the ramp, reaching the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He walks to the far side and climbs the turnbuckle, raising both arms into the air, showboating to the fans. Reeshi steps down and stands in the middle of the ring.*
Cole: This match has a lot to prove tonight.
King: He has nothing to prove but just pin Rat, 1-2-3. Reeshi is a former seven-month World Heavyweight champion, Rat cant stop that.
Cole: You going against Rat?
King: No, I like both men.
CH: Wait, a actual Rat is fighting in this match?
*The arena is in a silent hush as the starting guitar riffs from Stainds Price To Play hit the arena sound system as the Xtreme XtremeTron flashes pictures from Rat Bastards more memorable moments here in the XHF. Suddenly the curtain is flipped up and Rat walks from behind it with the XHF Championship draped over his shoulder, gazing out evilly into the crowd. Bright flashes from strobe lights go off as Rat makes his way down the ramp. Slowly he climbs upon the outside of the apron, and tosses the belt into the ring before climbing in himself.*
CH: Thats the XHF Championship he just threw into the ring like that?
Cole: I know.
CH: Man, this guy is a bastard.
King: Hes the XHF Champion, he could do whatever he wants.
Texas Bullrope Match for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship
Reeshi vs. Rat Bastard
*Rat Bastard walks up into the center of the ring and begins to scream at Reeshi. Rat points down the XHF Championship, as the referee is handed the bullrope. Reeshi places his hand between one of the holes of the bullrope and the referee tightens it around his wrist, and then Rat does the same. The referee picks up the XHF Championship and holds it in the air, and then hands it into the timekeeper. Rat Bastard and Reeshi stay where they are but Rat turns his back and begins to walk away, but Reeshi pulls him using the bullrope and knocks him down! Rat Bastard gets up furious and runs to Reeshi, hitting him with a forearm sending him into the ropes. Rat continues the assault, and then grabs the free wrist of Reeshi. Rat goes to throw Reeshi, but Reeshi stops in his tracks and turns around and then uses the bullrope to pull Rat Bastard to himself and knocks Rat down with a hellacious clothesline! Rat hits the mat hard but gets back up to his feet as soon as possible, and Reeshi knocks Rat down with a clothesline again. Rat shakes his head and gets back to his feet, and Reeshi drives a boot into the stomach of Rat Bastard. Rat bends over and Reeshi hooks both of his arms and sets Rat next to him. Reeshi tries to go for a Pain Killer, but Rat pulls himself down and get out of the hold. Reeshi goes for another clothesline, but Rat Bastard ducks and grabs the cowbell that is attached to the bullrope, and once Reeshi turns around Rat clocks him in the head with the cowbell!*
CH: What a shot!
King: Oh, now I remember why I love Rat Bastard.
*Reeshi falls to the mat holding his head, as Rat turns Reeshi around placing his stomach against the mat. Rat Bastard sits onto the back of Reeshi and then wraps the bullrope around the neck of Reeshi and pulls back, locking in a camel clutch type move! Reeshi grabs on to the bullrope so that he isnt complete choked, so Rat lets go and climbs up to his feet and gives Reeshi a stomp in the back of the neck. Rat Bastard lifts up Reeshi to his feet and shoves him into a corner, and sends big boots into the stomach area of Reeshi. Rat bends Reeshi over and grabs him in a front facelock, and gets him in position for a suplex. Rat Bastard lifts Reeshi up and holds him in the air for a while, causing all the blood to rush to the brain of Reeshi. Rat Bastard holds Reeshi up there for a while longer, and then finally drops him into the mat and floats over. 1-2-Reeshi gets a shoulder up, and Rat stands up and drives a big boot into the chest of Reeshi. Rat then places his foot on top of Reeshis neck and then pulls the bullrope, trying to pull Reeshis shoulder out of the socket! Reeshi screams in pain as Rat continues to pull, but then finally stops and he leans back into the ropes and then jumps up and drives knee into the face of Reeshi. Rat once again makes the cover, but Reeshi kicks out before the count of three. Rat Bastard stands up to his feet and pulls Reeshi to his feet, and then punches him into the face. Reeshi takes a step back and Rat Bastard runs to the ropes, but Reeshi catches him and slams him down into the mat with a powerslam! Reeshi automatically hooks the leg, but Rat kicks out. Reeshi grabs Rat by the hair and picks him up to his feet, and then wraps the bullrope around the neck of Reeshi. Rat Bastard pleads for mercy, but Reeshi just shakes his head and laughs and then throws Rat over the top rope hanging Rat Bastard!*
King: Whose more violent, Rat or Reeshi?
CH: From the look at things, Reeshi.
Cole: Ill say Rat, because hell do anything to win.
*The referee screams at Reeshi to let go of Rat, but Reeshi does by pushing the referee. Rat Bastard falls face first into the padding, and Reeshi walks over the top rope and to the outside. Reeshi lifts Rat Bastard up and throws him into the ring steps, but then pulls Rat Bastard up and clotheslines him down! Rat Bastard falls to the padding facing up at Reeshi, as Reeshi looks into the camera and shakes his head. Reeshi grabs Rat by the hair and screams at him, and then pulls him up to his feet! Rat screams in pain from the hair pulling, but Reeshi suddenly takes all the pain off his hair and throws Rat backfirst into the ring post! Rat falls to the mat face first screaming in pain, as Reeshi walks over him. Rat Bastard is lifted up to his feet and rolled into the ring, and Reeshi soon follows. Reeshi walks to Rat and lifts him in a bent over position, placing him between his legs. Reeshi lifts Rat Bastard up for a powerbomb, but once Rat is up there he blasts Reeshi in the head with the cowbell! Reeshi lies on the mat almost unconscious as Rat climbs to his feet pointing to his head, telling the crowd how smart he is. He climbs all the way up to his feet, and lifts Reeshi all the way to his feet. The bullrope is longer enough that the cowbell is lying on the mat so when Rat goes for a DDT on Reeshi, Reeshi lands headfirst onto the cowbell! Reeshi flips over onto his back and Rat makes the cover on Reeshi, but Reeshi kicks out. Rat looks at the referee and questions the count, but climbs up to his feet and continues his assault on Reeshi. Rat pulls Reeshis arm up with the bullrope, and then leg drops the arm of Reeshi. Rat doesnt make the cover, instead he repeats the process, trying to take out the arm of Reeshi.*
Cole: Very smart move by Rat Bastard. By taking out the arm of Reeshi, it will be easier to apply the Rat Trap.
CH: Maybe he just doesnt want Reeshi to use that arm.
Cole: Maybe.
*Rat Bastard sits Reeshi up and grabs the arm he has been working on, and bends the elbow, putting pressure on the arm. Reeshi shakes his head and climbs up to his feet, and elbows Rat in the stomach with the free arm. Rat releases the hold and Reeshi turns around and begins to send fists into the face of Rat Bastard. After three more shots Reeshi lifts Rat Bastard onto his shoulders, and looks around at the crowd. They actually give Reeshi a nice pop, as he spins in the circle of the ring and stops, and then hits The Oreeshinator! Reeshi sits up and looks down at Rat Bastard, and then at the crowd, and shakes his head in disapproval. Reeshi gets back up and grabs Rat Bastard by the hair, and lifts him up to his shoulders once again! Reeshi turns his back to the crowd and walks backwards to the corner, and then climbs up the bottom turnbuckle. Reeshi then stakes another step onto the second turnbuckle with Rat still on his shoulders, but Rat slides off. Rat grabs the arm he was working on Reeshi earlier and the two jump off crashing Reeshi face first into the mat, and Rat places Reeshis arm between his legs and grabs him by the face to apply the Rat Trap!*
Cole: The Rat Trap!
CH: Ew, that looks like hes pulling on the arm and neck of Reeshi.
King: Thats what he is doing.
CH: Oh, carry on then.
*Reeshi screams in pain for the one of the first times in his career, as Rat pulls back locking the move in tight. Reeshi uses his free hand to push himself up, as he slowly climbs up to his feet with Rat still holding them submission on Reeshi! Rat doesnt seem to be letting go, so Reeshi tries to pull him off by running into the corner driving Rats spine into the turnbuckle! Rat doesnt release the hold, so Reeshi runs to the opposite corner and drives Rat into that turnbuckle! Rat falls to the floor holding his back, as Reeshi holds up the bullrope and begins to whip Rat with it! The whipping continues, with Rat screaming more and more from each shot. Reeshi finally stops the whipping and holds his arm up, to get a reaction from the crowd. Reeshi nods his head and then grabs Rat by the head and begins to pull him up, but when Rat gets to his knees he low blows Reeshi bending him over! Reeshi is in pain and Rat Bastard climbs to his feet and grabs the shirt of Reeshi and drives him between the top and middle rope, smashing his shoulder! Reeshi slowly takes a few steps back holding his shoulder, but all of a sudden Rat Bastard runs and grabs Reeshis arm and tries to go for the Rat Trap once again! Rat tries to get the arm of Reeshi, but Reeshi struggles out, not wanting to be in that painful submission. Rat tries to get Reeshi to do it with some forearm shots to the back, but when he tries the move again Reeshi refuses to be put into it. Rat releases an angry groan, and then stands up to his feet and pulls Reeshi with him, setting him between hit two legs. Rat Bastard begins screaming at the fans, making the crowd hate him more than the did before. Rat grabs the waist of Reeshi and pulls him up for a Bastard Bomb, but Reeshi slips off to his feet and smacks across the face with the cowbell!*
King: That damn cowbell comes in handy.
Cole: I had a cow once but
King: Dont care.
Cole: But Im just
CH: Dont care either.
*Rat Bastard is cut open from the shot, but doesnt have time to take a breather as Reeshi uses the bullrope to pull himself up to his feet and hit him with the cowbell once again! Rat stumbles to the mat, not trying to get to his feet. Reeshi goes to his knees and goes over to Rat, and pulls his head up. Reeshi wraps the bullrope around his fist, and then begins pummeling Rat! The shots to the head effect Rat, as he is slowly dazing away. Reeshi covers Rat, but Rat kicks out before the three count. Reeshi looks at the referee with a face of disgust of the count, but then climbs up to his feet, and begins to pick up the XHF World Heavyweight Champion. Reeshi drives hellacious forearms in to the back of Rat, but Rat stands up with a burst of energy and begins to trade some blows himself. Rat sends Reeshi to the ropes and continues the forearms and goes to send Reeshi to the opposite ropes, but Reeshi reverses it sending Rat to the ropes, but Rat pulls the bullrope with him sending Reeshi to the outside! Rat lies against the ropes trying to get rest, but Reeshi doesnt waste time as he uses the bullrope to pull Rat Bastard out of the ring! Rat rolls to the ramp way and Reeshi follows. Reeshi gets a boot in onto Rat, and then takes the bullrope and wraps it around the neck of Rat. Reeshi places the rope over his shoulder, and then begins to drag Rat Bastard up the ramp way! Rat gasps for air, but Reeshi keeps the bullrope around his neck. Reeshi finally reaches to the top of the ramp way, and he lifts Rat up and sends a right hand to his face. Reeshi grabs the bullrope and pulls it, swinging Rat right into the Overheated set! Rat buries his face into the set, as Reeshi walks up from behind him and pulls his hair and tells him that he cant win. Reeshi pulls Rat off the Overheated set and goes to through him in the entranceway, but Rat reverses sending Reeshis spine first into the steel poll. Reeshi groans, but Rat pulls the bullrope, sending Reeshi face first into the poll across from it!*
King: Thats a way to use the bullrope.
Cole: This match is great!
CH: You guys have to come to Australia move often. I love this!
*Reeshi is lying on the floor in the entranceway, as Rat mounds him and flips him off, screaming Fuck you! Rat then picks Reeshi up to his feet and wraps the bullrope around his neck like a noose, but then pulls back and turns away causing Reeshi to smash the back of his head into the steel poll! Reeshi falls face first into the entranceway, holding the back of his head. Rat stomps on the back of Reeshis neck, and then picks up him and holds his head while walking down the ramp. Rat throws Reeshi into the railing, and Reeshi hits it hard. Reeshi holds his back after being driving into the railing, and while he is sitting down Rat takes advantage by placing his foot in his throat, choking the longest running XHF champion. Rat finally gets his foot off the neck of Reeshi, and lifts him up to his feet. Rat walks down to the ramp and around to the announce, and then takes Reeshis head and smashes him into it. Rat doesnt release the hold, as he continues to send Reeshis forehead into the announce table. Rat finally releases the hair of Reeshi and then goes to the timekeepers table, and snatches the XHF Championship from the timekeeper. The timekeeper and Rat Bastard are arguing to one another, so Rat just knocks him out with a shot to the head with the title belt! The referee checks on the timekeeper, as Rat taunts Reeshi to get to his feet. Reeshi slowly pushes himself to his feet using the announce table, and once he turns his attention to Rat he gets smacked in the head with the XHF championship! The crowd boos, as Reeshi is down to the padding, now bleeding. Rat throws the XHF championship into the ring, and then lifts Reeshi up and rolls him onto the announce table.*
Cole: Uh oh, lets get away from here.
King: I concur.
*The announcers scatter around, as Rat Bastard begins to send forearms into the chest of Reeshi. Rat now climbs the English announce table, and lifts Reeshi up to his feet. Rat mocks Reeshi, setting him in place for the Coral Reesh! Rat hooks both of the arms on Reeshi, but Reeshi gets out and back body drops Rat, sending him through the Spanish announce table!*
Al Gomez: iQu el jode!?
Hector Gonzales: Yo no lo puedo creer!
King: What the fuck!
Cole: I cant believe it!
CH: Cranky, that was brutal.
*The crowd is on their feet, as Reeshi is on his hands and knees on the announce table. Rat Bastard doesnt seem to be moving, as the referee checks on him now. Reeshi finally gets off the announce table and walks to Rat, pushing the referee out of the way. Reeshi picks Rat up and throws him into the ring steps! Rats shoulder drives hard into the ring steps, as he bounces off holding his shoulder. Reeshi is finally fully up to his feet and uses every bit of strength to pull Rat Bastard up, and when Rat Bastard gets to his feet Reeshi pulls the bullrope and then clotheslines Rat Bastard down! Blood begins to rush down Reeshis face, as he walks over and picks Rat up by the tights and rolls him into the ring. Reeshi soon follows and hooks the leg, but Rat kicks out before the count of three! Reeshi stares a hole into the referee, as he now picks Rat Bastard up to his two feet, and lifts him onto his shoulders once again! Reeshi begins to walk with Rat still on his shoulders, but when he gets into the center he slips on the XHF championship that Rat threw into the ring! Reeshi immediately sits up, and looks at the XHF Championship he just tripped over. Reeshi shakes his head in pure anger and hatred, as he drops the XHF Championship and picks Rat Bastard up. Reeshi shakes Rat screaming at him, but then sets him to the side hooking both arms. Reeshi looks around at the arena with pure fury in his face, and then lifts Rat up and connects with the Pain Killer onto the XHF Championship! Rats face is buried into the gold, as Reeshi sits up and looks around the arena. Reeshi turns Rat to his back and cockily covers him, 1-2-kick out!*
Cole: Reeshi was too cocky!
CH: Damn, he must be wondering what its going to take Rat down.
King: Hes going to have to kill Rat.
*Reeshi pounds the mat in anger, and then stands up into the face of the referee. Reeshi gets the referee into a corner and begins yelling at him, as the referee is trying to get away from Reeshi. Behind Reeshi Rat Bastard is climbing up to his feet, bloody from Pain Killer onto the XHF Championship moments ago. Rat is all the way to his feet and looks down and picks up the XHF World Heavyweight Championship, and then looks at Reeshi. Rat pulls the bullrope, causing Reeshi to turn around and be pulled to Rat, who lifts up the XHF Championship into Reeshis face! Reeshi hits the mat hard from that shot, as Rat Bastard suddenly falls to the floor. The referee starts a ten count, as both men are down. 1-nobody moves. 2-nobody moves once again. 3-both men are still down. 4-no movement from either man. 5-Rat Bastard is the first one to move, but he is just turning himself. 6-Rat Bastard is on his stomach and is pushing himself up, as Reeshi slowly sits up. 7-Rat pushes himself to his feet, as Reeshi grabs the ropes near him to pull himself. By the count of eight both men get to their feet, and once Reeshi turns to Rat he throws a right hand. Rat doesnt fall down, as he throws a right hand to Reeshi, and then Reeshi gives Rat another one. The two trade punches, until Reeshi lifts a knee up into the stomach of Rat Bastard. Reeshi lifts Rat onto his shoulders and runs to the corner, driving Rats back into the corner. Reeshi doesnt let go of Rat, as he lifts him up to the top rope. Reeshi punches Rat in the stomach, and then begins to climb up the turnbuckle, facing Rat. Reeshi applies a front facelock to Rat Bastard, and then places Rats arm behind his neck. Reeshi climbs up to the top going for a superplex, but Rat doesnt move. Reeshi tries once again, but Rat begins punching Reeshi in the ribs. Rat gets out of the front facelock and pushes Reeshi off, sending him into the center of the ring! Rat Bastard stands on the top rope and looks at Reeshi, and then jumps off with the Drop Of 1000 Bastards!*
Cole: Drop Of 1000 Bastards!
CH: Thats one wicked move.
*Rat refuses to make the cover, as he turns Reeshi to his stomach and places his bad arm between his legs and ties the bullrope around Reeshis neck with a version of the Rat Trap! Reeshi tries to gasp for air, but Rat just pulls back on the move harder. Reeshi tries hard to get the bullrope off his neck, but Rat just pulls harder. Reeshi is slowly fading and Rat knows it, as he pulls back on the move. Reeshi is complete knocked out, as the referee calls for the bell awarding the match to Rat Bastard!*
Winner by knock out and still XHF World Heavyweight Champion: Rat Bastard
Cole: Rat just knocked out Reeshi!
*Rat finally release the bullrope, as Reeshi falls to the mat unconscious. Rat Bastard sits up and the referee hands him the XHF Championship, and then calls for medics to check on Reeshi. Rat Bastard stands up and holds the XHF Championship in the air, as Overheated comes to an end.*
Anger: A strong feeling of displeasure or hostility.
*A shot of Destruction giving Scorpion a sledgehammer shot is shown in the same style as the Rat/Reeshi thing, as well as Scorpion applying a Scorpion Lock to somebody. Destruction giving Goldberg the Knee To Face passes by, as well as Scorpion climbing the ladder and grabbing the XHF Championship.*
Anger rushes through these men and women tonight.
It becomes a pain for them, and they search for a way to stop it.
*Shots of the first ever Greenhouse match passes by, with Rhein goring Brain Doggy Dog through the cell. Mongo hitting Destruction in the back with a steel chair inside a Greenhouse is also shown, as well as Millennium falling through the top of three levels of Greenhouses. A heartbeat is heard.*
Anger is what tonight is about. (Get away from me.)
Stopping the anger is the first step. (You cant do it, you just cant!)
*Sanders attacking Lance Storm is shown from Decimation last month, and then the superkick from the XHF Birthday Show from Lance Storm to Chris Sanders. Sanders wrapping his arms around Trish is played, and Lance Storm holding all of his titles. The images begin to get red, and then darker red in each heart beat.*
(What is the meaning of this!? Help me!) You cant deny the truth.
(No!) Yes, this is the night.
*Action shots from Rage and Gravedigger flashes by, as well as Junior Heavyweights. Charlie Velez and Venom getting into fights, and Destruction stabbing Rhein in the head with a pen. Mongo giving Scorpion a chokeslam, and then Rat Bastard flying off the top with a Drop Of 1000 Bastards. The beat gets faster and faster and the screen gets red, and once the heart beat stops, the red stops. The screen is black, and the voice comes back.*
Anger fills everybody.
Tonight these men have the power to use it.
This is fury.
This is chaos.
This is Overheated.
*Cameras go to the arena and Wall Of Shame by Course Of Nature hits, as pyros explode revealing the Overheated set. The song continues to play over the PA, as the fans are on their feet. The camera shows the whole arena, and then zooms into the ring with the Bonnie Jenkins in the ring.*
Bonnie: Please let me introduce you all to our special ring announce, Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter!
*Down Under by Men At Work hits, and Steve Irwin makes his way down the ramp. The fans give him a good ovation, as he walks down the ramp giving fans high fives. He gets to the ring and turns to the side and sits next to Jerry The King Lawler and Michael Cole.*
Cole: Welcome Mr. Irwin!
Crocodile Hunter: Ah, call me Steve.
King: Hey there Steve.
CH: Call me Mr. Irwin.
Cole: Haha, tonight is going to be great.
*"Whatever" by Our Lady Peace hits the speakers as the crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers and boos, for the greatest technical wrestler has arrived! Chris Benoit smirks at the people in the arena, looking around before walking to the ring, his arms raised into the air. He rolls into the ring, the same confident smirk on his face as he circles the ring once, letting everyone take a picture of this great superstar.*
CH: Ah, whos this?
King: Thats Chris Benoit, the greatest technical wrestler in the world today.
CH: Then this should be great.
King: Yes it shall.
*"Who betta than Kanyon!" blasts over the PA system. Kanyon comes out arms stretched, walking down the ramp. He points to himself while shouting to crowd how good he is. Kanyon then climbs up the steps and into the ring. He grabs a microphone and says, "Who betta than Kanyon!" To which the crowd responds, "Everybody!" Kanyon then responds, "Nobody!" He then walks to the corner to wait for the match to start.*
Cole: Will Chris Benoit be better than Kanyon tonight?
King: I dont think so, nobodys betta than Kanyon!
XHF European Championship Number One Contendership
Kanyon vs. Chris Benoit
*Benoit looks ready to lock up and does so with Kanyon, taking him down with arm drag, locking his arms around the arm of Kanyon and pulling back applying a an arm bar variation on the ground to Kanyon. Kanyon reaches out for the ropes but doesnt find them theyre just out of reach. Kanyon reaches over with the other arm and is able to flip over with an arm bar of his own to Benoit. But Benoits technical background is that much more enhanced then that of Kanyons and Benoit immediately gets his head up and locks in a head scissors. Kanyon pushes out with his feet, escaping the hold and tries to get to his feet, but Benoit locks his arms around the head of Kanyon, with a headlock variation. Kanyon backs into the corner and Benoit keeps the hold locked in until Kanyon turns around, picks up Benoit and places him on the top turnbuckle.*
Cole: Kanyon could be going for something here.
CH: That would hurt wouldnt it?
King: Duh.
*Kanyon fires at him with some right hands but after about the fourth one, Benoit catches the arm of Kanyon. Benoit stands up on the middle rope and jumps over Kanyon, keeping a hold of the arm and pulling him over with another arm drag take down, this one from the top rope and he locks in the arm bar once again! Benoit pulls tighter on the arm of Kanyon but Kanyon is able to maneuver himself to the point where he gets his feet into the ropes and Benoit is forced to break up the hold. He keeps it locked in forcing the referee to make a five count and Benoit lets go after four.*
CH: Hes working on the arm so much that hes blowing the referee off!
Cole: Youll probably see that a lot tonight.
*Benoit gets up and whips Kanyon into the turnbuckle, following it up with a clothesline. Kanyon left in the corner and Benoit begins firing away with some knife-edge chops. Kanyons chest gets red with the impact of the chops and Benoit simply whips him across into the other corner. Kanyon staggers out and Benoit catches him with a boot to the midsection followed by a snap suplex, rolling into the cover 1,2, Kanyon gets the shoulder up just in time. Benoit gets up, picking Kanyon up as well, grabbing the wrist of Kanyon and pulling it around his back for a wristlock, working on the same arm he did with the arm bar. Kanyon tries to avoid it with an elbow to the side of the head of Benoit but Benoit moves out of the way, avoiding contact. Kanyon reaches down for the feet of Benoit and the lunges up with the elbow, surprising Benoit and this time connecting, releasing the hold as Benoit staggers back. Kanyon turns around and takes down Benoit with a heavy clothesline. Kanyon uses the ropes to pull himself right back up as he catches Benoit coming to his feet and takes him back down with a swinging neckbreaker, the momentum starting to shift.*
CH: Great wrestling by that Kanyon guy.
King: Nobody betta!
*Kanyon falls back and goes for the cover 1,2, Benoit gets the shoulder up.

Kanyon sends Benoit across to the far turnbuckle and charges, driving his shoulders into the gut of Benoit.*
Cole: Kanyon has a good strategy.
King: And that is?
Cole: Just watch the match.
*Benoit hunches over before falling to the mat, Kanyon watching him. Benoit begins using the turnbuckle to help himself up when Kanyon grabs the legs of Benoit and locks in a Boston Crab in the turnbuckle! The referee begins to count, trying to break up the hold, for it is in the ropes, but Kanyon holds on as long as he can, Benoit screaming in pain! Kanyon eventually does let go, turns and sits on that top turnbuckle. Kanyon waits for Benoit to get up and comes off the top looking for the double axe handle but Benoit side steps it and catches him with a crippler crossface!*
Cole: Crippler Crossface!
CH: Look at his neck!
*The crossface is locked in and Kanyon is already desperately reaching for the ropes, finding no other way out of the hold. Kanyon reaching desperately but Benoit has him in the middle of the ring. Kanyon begins moving closer, inching closer to the ropes as he pulls himself along the mat with the other hand. Benoit, pulling back on the hold, tightening the hold, Kanyons been in it for quite some time now but with one final reach, Kanyon gets a hold of the ropes!*
Cole: Kanyon breaks the hold!

Benoit applies a few boots to the back of Kanyon, trying to pull him away from the ropes. Eventually Benoit grabs the leg of Kanyon and pulls him back out towards the middle of the ring. Benoit grabs one foot of Kanyon but when going for the other, Kanyon kicks him in the gut. Benoit hunched over, and another kick from Kanyon connects with the side of Benoits head. That gives Kanyon enough time to get to his feet. Kanyon goes for a right hand but Benoit ducks, locks his hands around the waist of Kanyon going for a German Suplex.

Benoit however, ducks under, sliding in behind Kanyon and delivers a stiff German Suplex! Benoit keeps hold, and rolls through, picking up Kanyon again with a another German! Followed by a third!

Cole: And the winner of this match will face the winner of Rage vs. Gravedigger later tonight, on Gastro.
*The ring crew sets up the cage for the Hardcore title match. They dismantle the actual ring itself to be but a flat platform. Weapons are placed on the top of the cage and thumbtacks are placed everywhere outside of the ring and the ring crew leaves.*
CH: Whats that for?
King: Its for the Hardcore Championship match.
Cole: Yeah, it will be crazy.
*Awake by Godsmack plays over the speakers. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed like an X in front of his face. He then slowly separates his arms, but picks up speed until they fully extend. He then walks to the ring, climbs up the apron, and walks over the top rope. He then tightens his gloves and cracks his knuckles as he waits for the match to begin.*
Cole: This man created this match.
CH: Hes crazy.

XHF Hardcore Championship Tournament
Hardcore Harry vs. Mr. X
*Both men take a look around at the insane structure as the ref retreats out the door and locks it up as he is not needed in the ending of this match.*
King: Go put your feet up ref, but watch out for flying limbs.
*Both men begin to pace around the ring then meet up in the center with a lock up. Mr. X gets the upper hand and moves behind Harry with a waist lock and Harry breaks it with two consecutive back elbows to the face to release the hold. Harry then turns around and grabs Mr. X by the wrist and whips him to the edge of the ring, but Mr. X is able to balance and not fall over the edge. Mr. X turns back towards Harry and catches a boot to the stomach followed by Harry shoving Mr. X's head between his legs. Harry then calls for a power bomb onto the tacks, but Mr. X sweeps the legs from under Harry and then stomps Harry in the nuts.*
Cole: It's all legal in this match.
King: Hehe, the ref is still telling them to stop it from ringside! He spent six months learning how to not tolerate this kind of behavior, and now he has to watch it!
Cole: Seeing a guy get stomped in the nuts doesn't make me feel great either.
*Harry screams in pain as Mr. X moves away from the edge of the ring and over to the head of Harry. Harry rolls over onto his stomach holding his lower area as Mr. X drives the toe of his boot into the back of Harry's head and steps down.

King: Don't release you idiot! You can hold it for twenty minutes no one's going to stop you!
*Harry seems dazed in pain as Mr. X sends a right hand to the head of Harry and Harry staggers back to the edge of the ring. Mr. X then grabs Harry by the throat and Harry retaliates with a kick to the groin of Mr. X and a T Bone suplex off the side of the ring and Mr. X lands in a pile of tacks!*
CH: Those little fellahs nip like there's no tomorrow!

Mr. X reaches over and lifts Harry to his feet and again grabs him by the throat and choke slams Harry through the table!*
Cole: Chokeslam! Through the table!
*Mr. X then hops down and begins to go for the cover, but then realizes that it cannot end on a pin.*
King: D'oh!
*Mr. X then walks around the ring looking for some way to get to the top. Mr. X rips at the cage door but nothing happens. Mr. X then seems to have an idea and he turns back to the ring where he lifts up the ring apron and begins searching for something. Mr. X seems to take several minutes to do so, but then finds and pulls out a sledge hammer. Harry is now starting to move and he gets to his feet and stumbles onto the ring edge. Harry slowly rolls onto the ring and gets to his feet as Mr. X swings the hammer at the cage lock. Mr. X swings several times until the lock finally busts.

Both men stumble back onto the ring ramp. Harry begins striking Mr. X with right hands to the head and Mr. X stumbles back. Harry then grabs Mr. X by the head and lifts him high in the air then drops him down with a stalling suplex onto the steal ramp.*
King: That stalling only makes it seem worse, doesn't it? WHY?!
*Harry then gets up to his feet and lifts Mr. X back up. Harry grabs X by the back of the head and drags him over to the side of the cage and rams X head first into the cage. Mr. X stumbles back and falls into a sitting position and Hardcore Harry begins to climb the side of the cage. Harry seems to be having a lot of trouble getting up the side as Mr. X slowly gets to his feet. Harry is now about six feet up and Mr. X is to his feet. Mr. X runs to the cage and halts Harry from going further by grabbing him by the leg.*
CH: Grab it and don't let go of the critter. Harry's shaking and kicking he doesn't like this one bit!
*Harry tried to kick away Mr. X with his left leg but is unsuccessful and X grabs the top of Harry's trunks and pulls Harry off the cage sending him crashing to the ground. Mr. X then waists no time on Harry and begins to climb the cage himself. Mr. X is half way up before Harry begins to move. Harry gets up to his feet and stumbles around as Mr. X is now at the top of the cage and swinging himself onto the top. Mr. X then begins to search for a weapon of choice as Harry begins to climb the cage as well. Mr. X finds a weapon he likes with a 2x4 wrapped in barb wire. Harry reaches the top as Mr. X raises the 2x4 as Harry rolls up onto the top of the cage and as soon as Harry gets to his feet Mr. X breaks the 2x4 in half over the head of Hardcore Harry. Somehow Harry manages not to fall, but a half of the 2x4 is hanging from his head by a piece of barb wire.*
CH: That got him!
*Mr. X reaches and yanks the half of the 2x4 and the barb wire from the head of Harry and Harry immediately begins to bleed from where the barb wire ripped him open. Mr. X then looks around and finds a baking pan. Mr. X runs at a dazed and bloody Harry with the baking pan lifted in the air and Harry somehow ducks and sends Mr. X flying with a back body drop. The baking pan goes flying out of the hand of Mr. X as he is back body dropped over the edge, but Mr. X somehow manages to grab the top of the cage and hang on.*
Cole: The crowd are in shock at what they are seeing!
*Mr. X is hanging on for dear life as Harry begins to come back to his senses. Harry wipes the blood from his face only for more blood to flood out of the cut on his head. Harry walks around slowly looking for a weapon to use as Mr. X slowly pulls himself up and climbs back onto the top of the cage. Hardcore Harry finds a Singapore cane and turns back to Mr. X as Mr. X is now to his feet. Before Mr. X can do a thing Hardcore Harry smashes Mr. X over the head of Mr. X. Harry again hits X over the head again and again. Mr. X is dazed as Harry drops the cane and grabs Mr. X by the neck with both hands. Hardcore Harry seems ready to slam Mr. X with a running choke bomb, but Mr. X blocks the hold with a boot to the nuts of Harry. Harry stumbles back holding his lower extremities as Mr. X recovers from the cane shots to the head. Mr. X recovers as Harry gets to his feet. Mr. X runs at Harry and sends Harry through the hole in the middle of the ring with a huge boot to the face. Harry falls through the middle hole and to the ring below.*
Winner and the XHF Hardcore Champion: Mr. X
King: What a drop!
Cole: This is over! Thank god!
*Suddenly inside the arena, all the lights dim as the familiar tune of "White America" by Eminem hits the PA! Then, as it's opening chords reverberate throughout the arena and the chorus of the song begins, a blood red spotlight falls upon the top of the stage where just then the sadistic figures of the infamous "Kinetic Kollision Killers" duo themselves, Fury & Renegade appear! Then, as the spotlight on them fades away and the song continues in the background, the two strut cockily on down the ramp to an onslaught of boos from the crowd. Once soon reaching the bottom of the ramp, both climb right up onto the ring apron and after then stepping on into the ring, both men set off to nearby turnbuckles to taunt off to the crowd. Then, after finishing these routine taunts of theirs, they climb down from their respective turnbuckles and proceed to lean up against them as they await the inevitable emergence of their opponents..*
Cole: I believe, this will be a good match.
CH: After seeing the last match its hard to believe anything better.
*The lights go out, as breathing is heard. Smoke fills up the entranceway, and white light flickers, "Cold" by Static-X is heard. The Dark Parade with the Dark Mistress walk out, as The Scarecrow is wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, as The Pumpkin is wearing a fuzzy hat and his wresting attire, and the Dark Mistress has the XHF Women's Championship around her waist. The Dark Parade taunt to the crowd on the entranceway, as The Dark Mistress walks down the ramp. They then run down the ramp and slide into the ring and jumps on the second rope. The Dark Mistress gets in the ring, as The Scarecrow stares at the crowd, and The Pumpkin rolls his shoulders and does a Christian type taunt. The Scarecrow then jumps off and gives his jacket to the Mistress, and then puts his sunglasses on her head. The Pumpkin then jumps off and gives the Mistress his sunglasses, and places his hat on her head.*
King: This is the Dark Parades first pay per view match since Night Of Champions. They maybe be rusty.
Cole: They look good though.
Number One Contendership for the XHF Tag Team Championship Elimination Match
The Dark Parade vs. The Kinetic Kollision Killers
*The ref calls for the bell and the match starts off with Scarecrow and Renegade. They both pace each other around the ring, but stop when
The arena lights dim as the voice of 50 Cent is herd over the PA "Venom, you know you and Decoy are my favorite wrestlers right?" and shortly after "Patiently Waiting" by 50 Cent and Eminem begins to play over the PA. As the word "Explode" sounds in the beginning of the song fire pyros shoot from the stage and as the die down Venom and Decoy followed closely by Teo, who has both tag team belts drapes over his shoulders, emerge from behind the curtain to a fairly good ovation from the crowd. Decoy and Venom talk strategy as they walk down the ramp and Teo "The Hired Gun" chases after then they continue down the ramp and walk around the ring to the announcers table.*
King: Hey. Tell the Midget to drop my crown.
Decoy: But he likes it king.
CH: Haha.
Cole: What brings you guys out her tonight?
Venom: Number one contenders match Cole.
*Scarecrow and Renegade continue to pace after the sudden emergence of the tag team champions. Renegade moves in on Scarecrow. They go for the tie up, and Renegade lifts a knee to the stomach of Scarecrow. Renegade then sends an axe hand into the back of Scarecrow. Renegade grabs Scarecrow by the wrist and whips him into the ropes. Scarecrow returns and ducks a clothesline attempt from Renegade. Scarecrow continues to the opposite side ring ropes and as Renegade turns around Scarecrow flies at him and takes him down with a spinning heel kick. Renegade quickly gets back to his feet, but Scarecrow is ready for him and whips Renegade into his teams corner. Scarecrow follows him in and connects with a back elbow and makes the tag to Pumpkin. Scarecrow sends chops into the chest of Renegade as Pumpkin climbs into the ring and then they both grab Renegade by the wrist. They pull him out of the corner for a whip but do not whip him across the ring, but instead pushes him back first into the corner.*
Cole: Great double-team there by DP.
Venom: Me and Decoy have better moves then that.
*Scarecrow then exits the ring as Pumpkin lays the boots into the stomach of Renegade. Renegade falls into the sitting position and Pumpkin lifts him up to his feet and sends him over with a snap suplex and holds on. Pumpkin holds on and swivels up to his feet still holding on and sends down with another snap suplex and still hangs on. Pumpkin swivels back up one more time and turns into a standing arm bar then reaches and tags in his brother, Scarecrow. Scarecrow then climbs up to the top rope and flies off and sends a double axe handle into the shoulder of Renegade. Renegade falls to the mat after the shot and holds his shoulder and Scarecrow quickly takes advantage by grabbing Renegade by the arm and locking both legs around it and lock in an arm scissors. Renegade slams his fist on the mat and then begins to lift himself up. Renegade gets up to his knees with his arm still locked in a scissors hold. Renegade then gets all the way to his feet with Scarecrow still on his arm and Renegade quickly lifts Scarecrow up and turns and power bombs Scarecrow in the center of the ring. Both men lay down on the mat and both mens partners try to get there partner going. Renegade begins moving first clutching his arm under his body and crawling towards his corner. Scarecrow now begins to move as well, but seems to be crawling much quicker then Renegade. Scarecrow reaches his corner and makes the tag to Pumpkin and Pumpkin hops over the top rope and into the ring as Renegade reaches out and makes the tag to Fury.*
Cole: Both men make the Tag.
Venom: Both men suck.
*Fury and Pumpkin meet in the center of the ring and exchange punches back and forth. Both men stagger each other back and forth until Fury breaks the punch off with a stiff clothesline. Pumpkin quickly rolls over and springs to his feet and Fury grabs him by the wrist and sends Pumpkin into the ropes. Pumpkin begins to come back and Fury lowers his head. Pumpkin rolls over the back of Fury and stops behind Fury. Fury gets back to his feet and Pumpkin hooks his arms and goes for the Smash, but as Pumpkin turns Fury around he pushes Pumpkin into the ropes. Pumpkin bounces back and turns right into a boot to the gut from Fury. Fury then shoves Pumpkins head between his legs and lifts Pumpkin up and drives him down with the Furification. Fury makes the cover and gets the three right as Scarecrow dives in to make the save just a second to late.*
Eliminated: The Pumpkin
King: Not Pumpkin
Cole: I am afraid so King.
CH: Man you guys have weird names.
*Pumpkin rolls out of the ring as Scarecrow is now the only man left from his team. Scarecrow stomps on the body of Fury before he can get to his feet and Renegade enters the ring still holding his shoulder. He attacks Scarecrow from behind with an axe handle to the back and then the ref forces Renegade out of the ring. Renegade resists as Scarecrow recovers and goes to pick up Fury, but Fury connects with a low blow on Scarecrow. Fury then rolls Scarecrow up with a small package as Renegade now goes quietly out of the ring. The ref turns and drops to make the count and Scarecrow barely kicks out before the three. Fury gets to his feet and he cannot believe that Scarecrow kicked out. Fury pushes the ref in the chest then turns and tags in Renegade. Renegade slowly makes his way into the ring and Scarecrow slowly gets to his feet. Scarecrow stands dazed and Renegade runs at him. Somehow Scarecrow springs out of the way and grabs Renegade by the back and drives him shoulder first into the ring post. Renegade screams in pain at the impact and Scarecrow quickly rolls him up for the three count.*
Eliminated: Renegade
King: And now Renegade is gone too.
Cole: But he seems to be hurt.
Venom: He is just a pussy. Kind of reminds me of someone.
Decoy: Charlie Velez?
Venom: Hit it on the nose D.
*The ref leans over to help Renegade as he clutches his shoulder in pain. Meanwhile Fury drops off the apron and retrieves a chair. Scarecrow stands behind the ref looking over his shoulder as Renegade screams in pain holding his shoulder. The ref calls for the EMTs as Scarecrow turns back towards Fury who levels him with a vicious chair shot. Fury tosses the chair out of the ring and fury makes the cover on Scarecrow as Renegade miraculously recovers and the ref turns back to the action to make the three count on Scarecrow.*
Eliminated: Scarecrow
Winners: The Kinetic Kollision Killers
King: KKK win the match.
Venom: They cheated.
King: The ref didnt see it.
Venom: But I did.
*Venom and Decoy stand up and leave the announcers desk as Fury and Renegade are now stomping on the body of Scarecrow. Fury pushes the body of Scarecrow out of the ring as Pumpkin runs down the ramp to his brothers aid. Pumpkin helps his brother to his feet as in the ring Renegade and Fury celebrate, but not for long as Venom and Decoy are now on the ring apron. Renegade and Fury turn and Renegade runs at Decoy and Fury at Venom. Decoy grabs the head of Renegade and drops off the apron with a hangman while Venom knees Fury into the stomach and punches him in the head causing him to stumble back and fall. Venom then spring boards and hits a shooting star press on Fury! Decoy slides in the ring as Renegade slowly gets back to his feet and Decoy stalks him. Venom runs and climbs the ropes as Renegade turns around and Decoy lifts him up as Venom jumps off and hits a drop kick with Patiently Waiting. Fury and Renegade are laid out in the ring as Venom calls for a mic and is tossed one.*
Venom: You know, me and Decoy were sitting at ringside to see a great match to determine the number one contenders to our tag title, but instead what we seen was a team of cheating bastards become the number one contenders. These are our titles and I am not going to face two cheaters for something we worked hard to win. That is why me and Decoy have decided that we will face BOTH teams on August 11th on Pyro in Cambodia in a triple threat tag team match.
*Venom drops the mic and he and Decoy roll out of the ring and meet up with Teo.*
Cole: The Champs sure did lay down the law that time.
King: That is bullshit.
CH: No, its only fair.
*The opening riffs of "The Way You Like It" by Adema hits the XtremeTron, as the crowd turns to moderate cheers. Diamond's video begins playing, showing clips from him nailing Goldberg with a chair, to a clip of him defeating Psyko Stevo as Wraith. It flashes through many shots of himself as the song plays. The video stops, and blackness covers the arena. Blue 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 entranceway, where Diamond now stands, head down. Diamond began making a few punches at the air, and then finally stretched his hands out in a T position. He then finally brought his fists together, cracking his knuckles. He finally walks down towards the ring. He then slides into the ring, and climbs to the top rope, making the same position. He then throws one hand up in the air, and the crowd responds with cheers. He chuckles, however, and jumps down from the turnbuckle, as the song dies out.*
Cole: Diamond is going to have a lot ahead of him, as he faces a XHF veteran like Venom.
King: Reak will kill him.
(When this began) I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That Im not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that Ive got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
*The cameras zoom into the curtains where instantly Reak emerges from the back with smoke and fog everywhere.*
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain Ive felt so long
(Erase all the pain till its gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like Im close to something real
I wanna find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
*Reak proceeds to make his way into the ring as the chorus slowly fades away.*
CH: This is Reak? He doesnt look scary.
King: Wait until you see him wrestle.

Diamond vs. Reak
*Diamond begins to move about in the ring and that gets Reak going as well, obviously a little slowly then the lightning quick Diamond. Reak locks up with Diamond who comes around to the back of Reak and tries to take him down but Reak isn't doing anywhere. He drops the elbow down on the back of the head of Diamond to break up the hold, as Diamond staggers back holding the back of his head. Reak gets Diamond in the corner and begins to drive the elbows up into the gut of Diamond, taking the air out of Diamond. Reak whips Diamond across into the far corner and goes to follow in but gets caught with a boot to the head. Reak goes down and Diamond jumps up onto the top, and comes down with a split legged moonsault but Reak gets the knees up!*
Cole: Ouch, thats going to hurt.
King: It does, have you ever been hit like that before Cole?
Cole: Well I have wrestled in two matches, and won one.
King: Oh yeah.
*Diamond rolls off holding his stomach as Reak jumps up and comes at him, taking him down with a hard clothesline. Diamond is almost folded right up after the clothesline and Reak just lays on him making the cocky cover and Diamond kicks out after two. Reak picks up Diamond and sets him up for an inverted DDT but as he picks him up, Diamond breaks free, grabs the hands of Reak and with his feet, swings between the legs of Reak. On his way through he clips the knees of Reak and Reak goes down flat on his face, a highly innovative move from Diamond! Diamond runs to the side and into the ropes and comes back with a dropkick to the face of Reak, keeping the larger Reak down. Diamond, trying to keep things at his pace and at his speed, runs into the ropes and comes back with a lionsault but Reak catches him and places him up on his shoulders. Reak slams him down into the mat, hooks the legs and makes the cover but Diamond again kicks out after two.*
CH: Diamond doesnt want to stay down.
King: He has a shot to get a shot of a lifetime. I wouldnt go down either
*Reak gets up off the mat, pulling Diamond up with him. Diamond stops at his knees and takes down Reak with a with a Firemans Carry. Diamond turns and drops the leg drop to Reak. Diamond goes for the cover but Reak powers out after a two count. Diamond, lands on his feet and charges into the ropes, where he flips over Reak, snapping his neck as he comes around! Reak jolts forward and then whiplashes the back of his head against the mat. Diamond then points to the top and gets a huge response from the crowd.*
Cole: Diamond wants to go for something big!
King: Come on Reak, get up!
*Diamond steps to the apron and climbs up the top. Diamond showboats to the crowd again while he waits for Reak to get to his feet. Reak climbs up and Diamond comes off to the top and connects with a cross body! Reak rolls right through and stay on him for the cover, but Diamond kicks out after two. Reak gets up and drives rights into the forehead of Diamond, keeping him getting back to his feet. Which in retrospect is a smart move, keeping the quick and agile Diamond on the ground, rather then on his feet. Reak gets up and sits on the top turnbuckle, feet on the middle turnbuckle. Reak comes off the top looking for an elbow drop but Diamond moves out of the way and scales the turnbuckles himself, coming off the top with an Air Diamond! Diamond stays on him for a cover. 1...2..Diamond gets the shoulder up, no longer powering out, but simply getting the shoulder up.*
Cole: Diamond looks tired.
King: Reak is kicking his ass.
CH: I wouldnt say kicking his ass, but Reak is having the advantage of the two.
*Diamond gets up and awaits the arrival of Reak. Reak gets to his feet and Diamond comes off his feet, spinning in the air looking to connect with the shoulder but Reak ducks under. Diamond lands on the bottom rope and jumps up onto the middle looking to come off with a cross body but Reak catches him! Reak tosses Diamond back with a fall away slam. Diamond, a little slower to his feet now and Reak connects with a super kick to the chops of Diamond! Reak says that's it, and climbs to the top rope. He isn't up there long when he comes down with a Reaktor! Diamond however, isn't there, he's rolled out of the way and Reak makes the impact with the mat below! Diamond takes his time getting up and once he is, he leaps onto the shoulders of Reak and takes him down with a Hurricanrana! He hangs on for a cover 1..2...Reak rolls through and has Diamond in a pinning predicament 1...2...Diamond closes his legs on the head of Reak, breaking up the pin.*
CH: Nice way to break up the pin.
*Reak gets to his feet and takes down Diamond with a stiff clothesline! Reak gets to his feet and nods to the crowd, he gets the feeling that it's over now as he picks up Diamond and places him over his shoulders in the Samoan Drop position. Reak spins Diamond around but when he does, Diamond drops down and ends up across the knees of Reak where he rolls him up 1...Diamond gets his foot on the ropes for support 2...3!*
Winner: Diamond
King: Diamond cheated!
Cole: The referee never saw it.
King: But what about the KKK
CH: Ah, bah to the KKK. Theyre assholes, Diamond is cool.
King: I so hate you right now.
*Diamond quickly slides out of the ring and takes off halfway up the ramp as Reak is up and is irate in the ring, kicking the bottom rope, stomping his feet, etc. Diamond motioning the belt around his waist shouting back to Reak "Whatever it takes...whatever it takes" Reak shouts something back as Diamond is at the top of the ramp. Diamond simply responds with "I got you 1,2,3!" as he disappears behind the curtain, an irate Reak left in the ring.*
King: Oh Reak is pissed.
*Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana plays over the PA and Raven makes his way down the ramp and gets up on the apron and turnbuckles and spreads his arms like wings to the crowd. He takes off his jacket and gets in the ring and sits in the corner waiting for his opponent to come out.*
Cole: Raven looks determined.
King: No, Raven looks confident. He knows he can beat Chris Williams.
*The arena goes black, and the intro to 'Show Me How To Live' by Audioslave hits the PA, as green lights chase each other at the top of the entrance way. Slowly but surely 'The Energy' Chris Williams walks out slightly bouncing on his knees, wearing a shiny black jacket over his singlet and a pair of black sunglasses. He purposely wastes time, slowly walking down the ramp, swaying to the tune of the first verse. He reaches the bottom of the ramp way where the verse shies off signs of ending, and runs up to the apron, sliding under the bottom rope. He jumps on to the second turnbuckle padding and looks around for a split second. Once the chorus breaks through, he raises his arms up and green pyro shoot up, outlining the entrance, ramp, and the ring apron, besides the area in front of the turnbuckle he poses upon. As the pyro die down with the darkness, he jumps off the turnbuckle and slowly removes his jacket into the second verse, and hands them over with his sunglasses.*
CH: Chris Williams looks cool.
King: But Raven is cooler.
CH: No, no hes not.

Raven vs. "The Energy" Chris Williams
*Raven pulls himself out of the corner and Chris Williams makes a sudden move, flinching Raven but Williams stops, leaving it as a flinch and begins to laugh at Raven. Some of the fans join in with Williams, enraging Raven as he charges forward and clubs Williams in the head, taking him down. Raven continues with some boots to the gut of Williams. Eventually Raven kicks Williams into the ropes where the referee has to step in and pull Raven off of him. Raven backs away but goes right back to the attack, picking up Williams leaning him up against the ropes. Raven whips him across to the ropes. Williams comes back and slides under the legs of Raven, getting up and continues running into the other ropes. Williams bounces off the middle rope and connects with a cross body to Raven, right down into the cover but Raven kicks out after just one.*
King: See that? That was only a one count. Williams cant beat Raven.
Cole: The match just started!
King: And it still proves my theory.
CH: What theory?
King: Raven is better than Chris Williams!
*Both men rush to their feet at about the same time, Williams hits the ropes once again. Raven picks up Williams looking for a sideslam but Williams turns it into a head scissors take down. Raven rolls into the ropes at the other side of the ring, breaking his fall, immediately getting up and charges towards Williams who is also getting up but Raven gets caught with an arm drag take down. Raven gets up and charges again but gets caught with another arm drag take down. Raven gets right up again but this time Williams doesnt wait for Raven to charge towards him and hits with a dropkick that sends Raven to sitting position in the corner.*
Cole: Great timing by Williams.
King: Bah.
Cole: Whatever happened to you screaming Chris and Chris Own You?
King: Chris and Chris left us for months, how are they going to own us?
CH: With their great talent in the ring.
King: Bah.
*Williams slides to the outside and grabs the head of Raven, placing it outside the ring under the ropes. He slides back into the ring, straightening the legs of Raven, leaving his feet all the way to his lower body areas inside the ring, with his chest and head hanging under the bottom rope. Williams calls out to the fans with his hands getting a huge response. Williams catapults himself over the top rope, connecting with a leg drop to Raven! Raven falls to the outside, Williams sitting on the ring apron looking out to the cheering fans. He nods and then stands up, waiting for Raven to get up. Raven, using the barricade slowly climbs to his feet and Williams jumps onto the middle rope coming off with an Asai Moonsault!*
CH: What a move!
*Raven falls back after catching the move from Williams. Williams gets up, holding his stomach and walks, a little hunched back over to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope, breaking up the referees count at eight. Williams rolls right back to the outside and picks Raven back up to his feet. Williams whips Raven into the ring, stepping back onto the ramp a bit. Raven hits hard, and sticks out his chest/stomach with a scream insinuating hes hit his back hard against the ring apron. Williams charges in towards Raven and Raven tries a backdrop. Williams, however, lands on his feet on the apron. Williams turns around and leaps off the ring apron with a bulldog to Raven!*
Cole: Williams has control of the match so far.
King: Just wait, Raven will come back.
*Williams not quite as quick to his feet as he was earlier but still gets up pretty quick and motions with the crowd to get a little louder and sure enough they do. Williams steps onto the apron and begins to climb to the top rope. Williams stands, poised and ready waiting for Raven to climb to his feet, and when he does Williams takes off looking for cross body but Raven moves out of the way! Williams hits hard on the mat below and is quite shaken up by the impact, Raven left leaning up against the barricade. Raven clears the hair from his face and moves back over to Williams, picking him up and dragging him back over to the ring area. Raven bounces the head of Williams off the steel steps and rolls back into the ring to break up the referees count again, this time at 7 before rolling back to the outside and meeting Williams. Raven picks up Williams for a press and drops him head first into the steps once again!*
King: I told you Raven will come back.
Cole: The match isnt over.
King: God dammit, each time I say something Im wrong and youre always right, when Im stating the truth while youre a damn kiss ass.
CH: Shut up King and watch the damn match.
*Raven now, searching for anything, picks up Williams and grabs him by the hair. Raven turns and tosses Williams by the hair! Horizontally into the barricade back first goes Williams! Raven applies a few boots to Williams before tossing him back into the ring. Williams immediately uses the ropes to get to his feet as Raven rolls under the bottom ropes as well. Ravens, on his hands and knees looking to pull himself up but Williams catches him, rolling him over and rolling him up into the cover 1,2 Raven kicks out! Williams stumbles into the ropes, and thus hes having a little troubles getting up, Raven beating him there. Raven runs into the ropes and as Williams gets up, catches him with a swinging neck breaker, taking Williams down once again. Raven sits right up, as Williams is down behind him and as Williams begins to climb to his feet Raven decides to get to his as well. Raven grabs the back of the head of Williams, pulling him up to his feet. Raven whips Williams into the far ropes, Williams comes back looking for a clothesline of his own but Raven ducks under and as both men turn around, Raven connects with a jawbreaker to Williams! Raven falls back into the cover but Williams is able to kick out after the count of two. Both men climb to their feet, Raven the first one up once again. Raven meets Williams with a knee to the gut, and a right hand that sends Williams staggering back into the corner. Raven whips Williams across to the far corner, following it up with a clothesline and leaving the corner with a bulldog! Raven goes into the cover once again, but Williams out after a long two count.*
Cole: Raven gave Williams a good combinations of moves, but he cant keep him down!
*Raven, again the first one up but Williams tries fighting him off with the right hand this time when Raven went to pick him up again. Raven stops dead in his tracks hunched over as Williams rushes to his feet and into the ropes. Raven drops down and Williams leaps over, hitting the other ropes, and coming off with a flying clothesline! Williams lifts himself to his knees with his hands and slowly gets to his feet, Raven isnt too far behind. Williams begins to spin around, reaches 960 degrees and looks for a Gyrate but Raven ducks under the blow and Williams connects with the referee!*
Cole: Williams just hit the referee!
King: Ring the bell ref disqualify Williams!
CH: It was by accident King.
*Raven connects with a boot the gut and hits the Even Flow DDT! Raven, rolling over, drapes himself over Williams 1...2...3...4...the referee is completely out! Raven sits up and looks at the referee, who still isnt at all moving. Raven climbs to his feet and walks over to the referee, staring down at him. Raven picks up the referee, and hooks his head under his arm, and hits an Even Flow DDT on the referee!*
Cole: What the hell!?
King: Raven is so angry he rules.
*Raven sits up in front of the referee before rolling to the outside and grabs a steel chair. Rolling back into the ring, he sets up the chair, opening it up in the middle of the ring. Raven waits for Williams to get up and whips him across into the far ropes. Williams comes back and Raven looks for the drop toehold but Williams reaches out and gets his hands on the top of the chair, allowing him to flip right over. He stops and connects with a low blow to Raven. Williams comes in off the ropes with a scissors kick to Raven as Raven goes head first into the open chair!*
King: Thats illegal, ILLEGAL!
CH: Anythings legal when the referee is out!
King: Oh I so hate you right now.
*The chair is knocked back and Williams pushes it the rest of the way to the outside. Williams now, slowly moving over and checks on the referee, getting him moving about on the mat and then proceeds to slowly climb up the to the top. Williams stands up top and comes with a leg drop to the back of the head of Raven! Williams rolls him over and falls on him for the cover. The referee slowly making his way over and begins the slow count. 1....2....Raven just gets the shoulder up! The fans respond with a disappointing groan as they thought Williams had the match won. Williams lays face first onto the mat after Raven kicked out, and Raven is left laying on his back. Raven crawls over to the ropes, Williams, reaches up for the top rope and pulls himself up from there. Raven is seen hanging over the side of the ring, reaching down. Williams is up and bends over to pick up Raven. Raven however quickly rolls over and tosses the chair up to Williams. Williams catches it and the referee turns around to see Raven down and Williams with the chair, he calls for the bell!*
Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of this match by the result of a disqualification...Raven!
*Williams tosses down the chair and puts his hand behind his back as though he didnt have anything and begins complaining to the referee. The referee is none of it until a second referee comes from the back and explains that the chair on the outside and tossed back to Raven. Raven is up and has picked up the chair that Williams through down, and is leaning up against the side ropes. After the explanation the original referee walks over to the timekeeper as Williams is over the ropes, listening in. the referee is ordering the match to continue and Williams nods in approval. Williams turns around but Raven takes advantage of the referees back being turned, talking to the timekeeper and strikes Williams over the skull with the steel chair and quickly disposes of it to the outside! The referee slides in and Raven falls on Williams for the cover.*
Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen the referee has reversed his decision. The match will now continue!
Cole: Yes! Williams isnt screwed!
King: Dammit, dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!
CH: This is awesome action here.
*Once its made official, the referee makes the count 1...2....Williams gets his foot on the ropes! Raven pounds his hands off the mat in frustration as Williams just wont go down! Raven sits up Williams and locks in a sleeper hopping hed fade away. Its not too long before Williams looks out and the referee raises his arm, it drops. Again it drops. He picks it up again but this time Williams is able to hold on. Williams gets up and drives the elbows into the gut of Raven and runs into the ropes. Williams slides under the legs of Raven and wraps his arms around his waist, running into the ropes and coming back with a roll up. 1...2...hes got him! No he doesnt! Raven kicks out just before the hand comes down for two and the fans again let out a disappointing moan Williams was so close yet so far away.

The XtremeTron shows segments of DT hitting his various finishers on opponents. 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. Around his waist is his XHF Phoenix Championship title belt. He gives the Grand Slam sign and triggers a huge pyrotechnic chain reaction. The XtremeTron begins showing flashes of DT taking various weapon shots and standing up again. The lights brighten. He walks to the ring and takes off the hat, shirt, shades, and title and drops the bat. He steps to the center of the ring and his arms in a cross.

CH: It should be good to see him then.
*Far Behind hits as Dominique walks out, she stops at the stage and waits. The lights go out and on the XtremeTron appears in flaming letters "YOUR DECIMATION IS COMING, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!!!. A lightning bolt then hits the top of the stage and Unforgiven II hits and Apollyon walks out wearing a long black leather cape, a black towel over his head and his XHR Title, he puts his arms around the lovely and ever beautiful Dominique and kisses her, they then make there way to the ring where Dominique takes the XHR Title off from around Apollyons waist and holds it high in the air while Apollyon stops at the top of the steps, he raises his arms and the lights come back on, he then climbs through the ropes and gets down on one knee, he raises one arm in the air (Like Taker used to do) as Dominique stands behind him holding up the retired XHR Title as flames shoot out of the four turnbuckle posts.*
CH: Whats up with this guy?
King: Hes a Satanist who believes he can take anybody down, and you never know if the fans like him or not.

Cole: Duct Tape?

CH: *Clapping his heard*
*Christopher Daniels falls of the ladder holding his Junior Heavyweight Championship, as the crowd is on their feet from this amazing display.*
Cole: Beautiful.
*The steel cage is lowered from above, as the ring announcer is handed a note from a referee. He looks at it, and then addresses the crowd.*
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have gotten word that this Steel Cage match can only be won, by pinfall inside of the ring. So if an opponent is able to climb the cage or go through the door, the match continues.
*Crowd cheers.*
CH: Talk about adding flavor into this match eh?
King: Oh, this should be good.
*Lights flicker and then turn off. A white light shines up the top of the ramp, as the crowd watches in awe as the intro to "The Sky Is Falling" by Queens Of The Stone Age is heard on the PA system. The drums slowly enter, as does the smoke from around the entrance area. The guitar riffs enter and the light from above the curtain shines up, as Charlie Velez slowly walks out from the back, with his long black trench coat and sunglasses, and his wife Annette right behind him. He holds his head down looking at the ground, but the lifts it up and walks down once the vocals hit.*
"The sky is falling
Human race that we run
It left me crawling
Staring straight at the sun
Only a moment I notice
Every dog has his day
I paid attention
Cost me so much to today"
*Charlie and Annette make it to the bottom of the ramp and look around, and then Charlie hops up and down looking up at the ceiling (think Brock), and then stops and looks at his wife. He holds her hand and tells her something, and then Annette takes off his trench coat and sunglasses. Charlie looks at her and nods his head, and then walks up the ring steps and through the door, and waits for Venom.*
Cole: Charlie Velez seems very emotional about this match.
CH: Thats his wife Cole, and in a match like this he could see her for a last time.
King: Predicting the future?
CH: No, stating the truth.
*The beginning guitar riffs of System of a Down's "Spiders" slowly begins to play. Verse one begins as on the XtremeTron the word "Venom" is shown small and growing bigger until it fills the XtremeTron. As the verse ends black spiders fill the XtremeTron 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. He stops in the middle of it staring at Charlie Velez, but finally walks down and to the ring. He walks up the ring steps, and into the ring, and continues to stare at Charlie Velez.*
Cole: In my opinion, these two men, are two of the things that made the Junior Heavyweight division. Platinum was the pioneer, and then Slain juiced up the division, but now this belongs to Charlie Velez and Venom. Both are former champions, and though Charlie is the bigger of the two, Venom is the faster one that could be a main factor in this match.
King: You have to remember Cole, now that the match has become pinfall only, the speed might not have to do with it anymore. Venom was the faster wrestler, which was an advantage because he could get up the cage fast, but see, thats no longer a factor. Charlie Velez is the stronger of the two, which will help him win this match, in my opinion.
Steel Cage Match

CH: Nobody said you were smart King.

Charlie is amazed by this and walks up to Venom, but once when Venom sees Charlie in the right position Venom falls down with his legs around Charlies neck, and then hits a Corbata! Charlie rolls in a sitting position, as Venom pushes himself to his feet and runs to Charlie and dropkicks him in the back of the head! Charlie falls to the mat and Venom once again makes the cover, but Charlie kicks out. Venom lifts Charlie up to his feet and walks to a side of the ropes, and then slams Charlies head against the steel fence and then begins to scrape it! Charlie screams in pain as his face becomes a crimson mask. Venom finally stops scarping Charlies face, and Charlie lies against the ropes and the side of the cage and Venom hits a rolling savate into the back of Charlie Velez. Venom grabs the waist of Charlie Velez and then lifts him up, and slams him down with a german suplex. Venom doesnt release the waistlock, as slowly rolls over and climbs up to his feet, and hits another german suplex. Venom once again doesnt let go of the waistlock as he stands back up to his feet and hits a third german suplex! Venom finally releases the hold, and then sits up not making the cover. Venom stands up and walks to the ropes, and goes between the middle and top rope. Venom walks to the turnbuckle, and climbs all the way to the top. Venom takes a deep breath and then jumps off, and connects with a swandive headbutt onto the shoulder of Charlie Velez!*
Cole: What a match.
King: Both men hate each other.
*Venoms face is buried next to Charlies head, until Venom places his arm across Charlies chest. The referee starts the count, 1-2-kick out! Venom rolls to his back next to Charlie, as the crowd tries to pump Venom up. Venom is slowly moving to his stomach, where he pushes himself up to his feet, and walks to the nearest corner. Venom climbs up to the top turnbuckle, and then begins to climb up the corner of the cage. Charlie Velez is slowly climbing up to his feet, as Venom is less than halfway up the steel cage. Venom finally makes it to the top and Charlie runs and jumps onto the second turnbuckle behind Venom and then climbs to the third and pushes Venom off the cage, causing him to crash against the railing! Venom leans his face against the railing, as The Future Charlie Velez climbs up to the top of the cage. Charlie stands up straight and then jumps off the cage going for a Plancha suicida but Venom moves out of the way causing Charlie Velez to smash face first into the railing!*
Cole: My god!
CH: Thats going to leave a big bruise on Charlies head.
*Charlie lies against the top of the railing with blood pouring down his face, and Venom takes advantage by sending some quick kicks into his spine. Venom kicks Charlie two more times, and then does a spinkick into the back of Charlie, causing him to drop to his knees. Venom picks Charlie up by his hair and walks in the center of the ramp way, but then places him between his legs. Venom grabs a waistlock on Charlie and spins his legs on to his shoulders, but Charlie begins to send fists into the forehead of Venom. Venom doesnt release Charlie though, instead he runs to the cage and throws Charlie into the side of it! Charlie bounces off the side of the cage and falls to the mat, as a very bloody Venom holds his arms up as the crowd cheers. Venom walks to the ring and flips the apron, and searches for something. Venom continues to search, but then all of a sudden pulls out a ladder! The crowd explodes, as Venom holds the ladder up onto his shoulders. Charlie is seen grabbing the steel cage pulling himself up, but once he gets to his feet Venom runs to Charlie and slams the top of the ladder into the face knocking Charlie down once again! Venom sets the ladder with the steps facing the steel cage, and then Venom lifts up Charlie. Venom whips Charlie into the railing and he hits hard, and Venom then taunts the fans. They cheer him and then Venom runs to Charlie, but once he gets near Charlie, Charlie back body drops Venom sending him into the crowd! Venom lands on the concrete floor, as Charlie Velez falls to his knees and begins to crawl to the steel cage. Charlie grabs the steel cage and pulls himself up, and begins to climb up the steel cage. Charlie gets less than halfway up the cage, when Venom gets over the railing. Venom crawls to the ladder and Charlie is halfway up, and Venom begins to climb. Charlie Velez is on the top of cage and Venom makes it halfway. Charlie turns to Venom, who makes it to the top of the ladder, and the two begin to trade punches. Charlie gets a cheap shot in the stomach on Venom, thus getting an advantage. Venom steps over the ladder so he is sitting down on the top, which allows Charlie Velez to pick him up on his shoulders. Charlie uses every ounce of strength in his body to stand up with Venom on his shoulders, and then leaps off the cage into the ring with his knee out, driving his knee into Venoms stomach with a Stomach Crusher!*
King: Holy shit.
CH: Crikey!
Cole: It looks like Charlie hurt his knee on that maneuver.
*Charlie falls to his back holding his knee as Venom is holding his stomach, as the crowd applause both men for that amazing spot. Charlie uses a lot of his strength to push himself up, as hes now only has one leg to stand on. Charlie hops with one leg to Venom, and lifts him up to his feet and grabs him in a reverse front facelock, taunting the crowd for the Side Effect. Charlie swings his arm trying to go for the Side Effect, but before Charlie could hit him Venom gets behind Charlie and lifts him for a backdrop, but Charlie flips to his feet. Charlie holds his knee, but when Venom turns around Charlie Velez hits a superkick! Charlie falls to the mat holding his knee, but then pulls himself and hooks the leg of Venom, 1-2-kick out by Venom! Charlie sits up and wonders what he could do, but then pushes himself up and limps to the nearest corner. Charlie goes between the middle and top rope and then walks to the top turnbuckle and waits for Venom. Venom climbs up to his feet and turns to Charlie, and Charlie jumps up for a hurricanrana, but Venom slams Charlie Velez down with a powerbomb! Venom doesnt release the hold though as he holds Charlie up and Venom places his legs on front of Charlies arms and jumps forward and goes for a Casualty To Society but when Venom goes to slam Charlie down, he slams him on his neck!*
King: Did you see what I just saw?
Cole: I hope not.
CH: I didnt see anything, what did I miss?
*Venom rolls Charlie to his back in a sunset flip position and gets the 1-2-3!*
Winner: Venom
Cole: Venom picks up the win but somebody check on Charlie.
CH: What happened?
King: Check out this replay.
*They show a close up replay, showing Charlie Velez landing straight on his neck.*
CH: Oh my god.
*Venom rolls off of Charlie and stands up to his feet holding his arms up in the air, as the cage is quickly risen up to the ceiling. Annette slides into the ring and checks on a bloody Charlie, but Charlie Velez doesn't seem to be moving. The referee calls for medical assistance, as bunch of road agents run from the back, with one carrying a stretcher. They slide the stretcher into the ring, and they all check on Charlie, but he doesnt seem to have moved. Venom looks concerned by this, as Annette is crying. They place the stretcher under Charlie and strap him up, and then takes him out. Venom goes outside of the ring staring at this scene as they put Charlie on a roller. Annette walks with Charlie as they push him to the back, as the camera zooms on Venoms bloody face, who is shocked by all this.*
Cole: Venom didnt mean this.
King: God dammit dont you see it Cole? This is an act, Venom meant to hurt Charlie and possibly ruin his damn career of Charlie Velez, someone who he knows is better than him.
CH: Bullshit King. Venom is a human being, and doesnt want to kill a person.
King: Bullshit you, Ive seen this fued get started from the start and I just watched Venom send all his rage onto Charlie Velez. Saying what I said bullshit, fuck you.
Cole: Calm down both of you.
CH: Im going to check on Charlie.
*Suddenly, the arena is plunged into total darkness and the crowd looks on intently with anticipation as then momentarily, the demonic "Red Fist" Symbol of Rage appears on the XtremeTron. Mere moments later, the screen turns to static and the tension builds as after a flurry of drums & guitar riffs kick in, the following words of "Flaw" themselves begin to echo throughout the building..
"There's another reflection involved up in my mind,
A wholeness that has just been lost,
Striving hard for perfection but still nothing to find,
Some value with a cheaper cost,
And as I reach out to hear you the sound is so muffled,
It makes a lesser man of me,
So the only thing left to, bring up to date is...YOU SUCK!!!"
At these very words, BOOM! A HUGE explosion rocks the arena and the entire crowd is on its feet as the chorus of Flaw's classic Revolutionary Redneck tune, "Payback," hits the PA! Moments later, the curtain flips back and without any further adieu, the sadistic figures of XHF Legend Rage himself, and gorgeous wife Torrie Wilson step out onto the top of the stage!! Following this, the two then strut cockily on down the ramp to an overwhelming chorus of boos from this entire sellout crowd of "Ragiacs" joining us here tonight. Thereafter, both finally reach the ring area where once climbing inside, Torrie makes her way over to proudly taunt off to the crowd in front of the nearest ropes, while simultaneously the legendary Bald-Headed Behemoth sets off to do his signature 4 corners salute taunt, raising both his fists & a set of familiar middle fingers defiantly to the crowd & taunting them sadistically from each and every corner. Afterward, the 3-time Ultimate Champ is quick to indeed now help his always-stunning wife from the ring itself, before then turning his fierce eyes upward toward the curtain as he cautiously awaits the emergence of his opposition...*
Cole: Here is Rage. After all the pranks these two pulled it should be good.
King: Go Rage, Brotherhood rules!
*Born Of a Broken Man plays as GD walks down the ramp, climbs on a turnbuckle and taps his right shoulder and raises his right arm. GD then gets into the ring and goes to the opposite turnbuckle and raises both arms then put them down, and puts a smirk on his face as he gets down.*
Cole: Time to set it up.
*A normal topless steel cage is lowered down and technicians latch it to the apron of the ring. Soon after the technicians leave the ominous glass cell is lowered into place leaving about 5 feet between the cage and the cell. The top of the cell is only about 7 and a half feet above the top of the cage.*
GD: Here it is Rage! You are alone in the Doomsday Cage. Welcome to ECF Style wrestling!
*At that the rest of the Brotherhood comes out and sits outside the cell and starts cheering Rage.*
ECF Doomsday Match for the XHF European Championship
Rage vs. Gravedigger
*GD and Rage move to the center of the ring as the bell chimes. GD goes for a grapple but Rage hits a right hand instead and starts punching GD in the face. GD ducks one and kicks Rage. He sends him off the ropes and on the return hits a spinebuster slam. Rage bounces to his feet and steps back. They grapple in the center of the ring. Rage knees GD in the gut and kicks out his left shin bringing him to one knee. He then punches him knocking him over. He locks GD in a side leg lock on the left leg.*
Cole: Hes trying to take away GDs speed since the only way to win is with a pinfall.
*GD grabs he ropes and lifts for leverage then uses his leg strength to push his leg forward and into Rages gut. Rage breaks the hold and rolls to the corner and stands. GD hobbles to his feet. Rage charges but GD ducks and on the return tries for a clothesline but Rage ducks and hits a neckbreaker. Rage hits a leg drop, stands and hits another, stands again and this time drops an elbow across GDs neck. GD rolls to the ropes. He pulls himself to his feet and Rage charges for a clothesline but GD sidesteps and grabs Rage by the head and hurls him head first into the steel cage. Rage falls back into GDs arms. GD slams him again and rubs his face along the cage busting Rage open.*
King: Blood already. This match hasnt even found use for the 5-inch thick layer of glass all around them.
*GD goes for a sharpshooter but Rage pokes him in the eye and takes out his legs. GD slowly backs away. He regains his composure and walks right into a powerslam. GD stands again but Rage hits a DDT. Rage climbs the ropes and taunts to his allies. He leaps for an elbow drop but GD moves. GD slowly pulls himself up to his feet. Rage is rolling in pain. GD picks him up and starts a storm of right hands followed by a body slam. Rage stands right into a dropkick. He stands again but GD kicks him in the gut and hits a sit-out powerbomb. GD quickly goes to the top rope. He is about to jump when he looks up. He starts climbing the cage. He reaches the top and stands. He looks down at Rage as he stands. GD then leaps off with a huge cross body block. Rage is on his back barely moving and GD is holding his stomach and rolling in pain. After 8 seconds GD stands and heads to the cage door. He cant get the key to work so he kicks the door open. He heads outside to the space between the cell and the ring. Rage follows slowly but gets the door slammed in his face. Rages face is one big blotch of red and the ring is starting to be stained crimson from the oozing blood. The Brotherhood is desperately cheering Rage.*
King: GD is looking for weapons now.
Cole: Hey Rage has just pulled outside the ring but hes collapsed on the ground.
*GD sees Rage as he pulls out a chair, a ladder, a bat, a trashcan, a stop sign, and then his title. He drops them and goes to Rage. He picks him up and calls for a suplex but Rage reverses and hits a spinebuster slamming GD onto the trashcan and denting it in. Rage slowly stands as GD is up as well. GD moves in but Rage hits a hard kick and then slams his head into the cage wall. As GD comes off the cage, Rage picks up the stop sign.*
Rage: Hey GD . . . stop where you are.
*GD keeps moving forward and walks right into a slam in the head from the sign.*
Rage: Warned him, always read the signs.
*GDs hand is under the ring and as Rage moves in with the bat and lifts it up GD pulls it out and sprays something in Rages face. He immediately drops the bat and falls to the ground clutching his eyes. GD laughs as he slowly stands.*
Cole: Turtle Wax! He sprayed him with Turtle Wax!
King: Rages face is all shiny!
Cole: Idiot.
*GD picks up Rage and then hits a pump handle slam. Rage slowly stands but gets clobbered by a superkick. GD picks him up again and kicks Rage in the gut. He signals for a Sky High but Rage hits a low blow and lifts him up into a Riot Bomb. Both men are down. Rage tries to re-enter the ring but the door is stuck with only a crack open on the bottom where his head dented it. He slides the weapons into the ring and turns to GD who greets him with a title shot to the head. Both men are down now. After about 20 seconds GD stands with Rage following suit. They start exchanging blows but then Rage Irish whips GD into the glass cell. He sets up a table. As GD holds his back and walks toward him. He tries for a Fist of Rage but GD slides off onto the table and hits a flying clothesline off the table. Both men are down again. GD is up second this time as Rage jumps on his back and starts punching him in the head. GD grabs Rage under the arms and pulls him up so he is sitting on his shoulders. He turns toward the table and hits a huge Reverse Powerbomb through the table. GD then locks in the Breaking Point trying to destroy Rage. Rage reaches under the ring while screaming in pain. He pulls out a kendo stick and swings backwards hitting GD on the neck making him break the hold. When GD comes back, he rolls and breaks the kendo stick over GDs head. GD is still standing. Rage stands, gives him two single finger solutes and the hits the Fist of Rage right onto the broken table. GD rolls off hurt.*
Cole: Could they possibly injure each other anymore. GD is bleeding now.
*Rage grabs a roll of barbed wire and rolls it out. He doesnt seem to care his hands are bleeding since he grabs it and starts whipping Gravedigger with it. Finally he decides to end it. He starts climbing the cage. He sits on top and waits for GD so he can make sure he doesnt receive another high-flyer move. GD slowly starts to climb. As he gets to the top, Rage kicks him in the head and pulls him up. He starts punching GD. He tosses him over the edge to the ring but GD grabs the side of the cage. Rage doesnt realize and walks along to the corner and cheers to his friends. GD climbs up behind him and hits a Shattered Soul. Both men are out on top of the cage.*
King: This match is brutal. Amazing that a fed like ECF could come up with such a great match!
*GD grabs Rage. Rage pokes him in the eye again. Rage tries to pick up GD for a powerbomb but GD slides off and picks up Rage into a powerbomb position. He lifts him up slamming his head into the glass cell making him fall right into a Sky High. The cell stopped him from turning him to the ring though. Rage is now out on top of the cage. GD looks around and climbs down outside and grabs a steel chair. He climbs back up and puts the chair down. He then smirks and lifts up Rage. He goes for a powerbomb but Rage holds on. So GD hits two quick forearms to the back and a knee to the face. He is about to lift him for a powerbomb but then stops. He hooks both arms and looks down at the ring and sees a chair in the center of the ring.*
Cole: HE WOULDNT!!!
King: He would . . . and he is going to.
*GD lifts Rage up and hits a Free Fall right onto the chair. He is still standing on the cage however and grabs the chair. He breathes deep and then holds the chair to his chest as he leaps off the cage and sandwiches Rage between the two chairs with a huge shooting star press.*
Cole, King, and crowd: HOLY SH*T!!
*But GD bounces off Rage and falls to the side. Both men are out cold. The Brotherhood is stunned, mouths almost to the floor. Surprisingly Rage is the first to move, but all he does is roll over and cringe in pain. He falls down on top of GD. 1 . . . 2 . . . Kick out!!*
Cole: I thought Rage was gonna steal it!!!
King: How did either of them move after all this.
*GD rolls over and immediately grabs his chest. He obviously broke a few ribs. Rages arm is in a weird position and he has a few HUGE lumps on his head. His eyes are glazed and he looks like he has a concussion. The ring is stained red. And after a minute neither man is moving. Finally GD pushes himself up and crawls to Rage and covers. 1 . . . 2 . . . kick out! The whole arena lets out another Holy shit chant. GD falls back and looks to be on the verge of crying after all he went through. He lifts Rage up to his feet. He kicks him in the gut and delivers a Reality Check. He pins. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!*
Winner and still XHF European Champion: Gravedigger
Cole: Gravedigger retains!
King: Man that was brutal.
*Suddenly the cell lifts back up. Torrie is controlling the crane! The Brotherhood smiles and runs into the ring. They start stomping GD. Hicks calls them off and goes to GD as Fury and Renegade get Rage to the back. Hicks laughs at GD and places his head on the steel chair. GD is obviously unconscious. He looks around and grabs the other chair. He wraps it in barbed wire and then goes to GD. He smirks and proceeds to start cracking GDs head with the chair. GD isnt even moving from the blows as more and more cuts open up. After about ten blows Hicks backs up for a huge hit but out of nowhere is spun around by Dagger who came through the crowd and then she hits a Kin-Geri on Hicks. She then hits a hurricanrana and tosses him out of the ring. She attends to GD and calls for help. EMTs come out and rush Gravedigger to the hospital with Dagger by his side. Steve Irwin runs down the ramp and goes back to the commentary table.*
King: Aw, how cute.
Cole: So Steve, how is Charlie?
CH: They rushed him to the hospital, it looks really bad.
King: That damn Venom.
*The arena lights dim and the sounds of Godsmacks ""I Stand Alone"" fill the arena. Smoke covers the stage as the fans get on there feet and begin to cheer the name of the Peoples Champion Scorpion. The curtain is thrown aside and Scorpion appears through the smoke to a huge obviation from the crowd. Scorpion walks down the ramp pausing half way down as white lights flash through the arena as the sound of thunder echoes over the music at the same time. Scorpion continues to the ring and slides in.*
Cole: In my opinion, Scorpion is the biggest threat to Destructions championship.
King: That makes you an idiot then, because Destruction is so much better than Scorpion will ever be.
*The lights go out, and "Frantic" by Metallica blasts throughout the PA system. A green light points to the top of the ramp, and Destruction comes out with a water bottle in his hand once the vocals of the chorus are heard, and the XHF United States Championship around his waist. Tylene Buck walks out from behind the apron, as Destruction pours the water on his head. They then begin to walk down the ramp and then Destructions stops at the bottom, as Tylene walks up the ring steps, and goes through the middle and bottom ropes. He looks around at the fans, and then walks to the side of the ring. Destruction walks up the ring steps and into the center of the apron area, then drinks some water, and then throws the water bottle into the crowd. The song begins to enter the second chorus, and Destruction begins to look around at the crowd, as Tylene Buck comes from behind and unstraps his championship belt, and hands it to him.*
"Frantic tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick tock Frantic tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick tock"
*After the last word Destruction spits the water in the air, while holding both arms up, with the XHF United States championship in one hand, and a white light on him. Destruction then leans his head forward and spits the water at the crowd, and then enters the ring. He walks into the nearest corner of the ring and climbs up the second turnbuckle, and looks around at the crowd. He points around the arena, and then throws his hands up in the air, raises his championship in the air. Destruction stands on the second turnbuckle, and turns around, looking towards Scorpion staring down his opponent, as Tylene Buck stands in the center of the ring with her hands on her hips.*
King: Man, that Tylene is so hot.
CH: Yes she does, very hot.
XHF United States Heavyweight Championship
Scorpion vs. Destruction
*Destruction walks over to the middle of the ring and escorts Tylene out of the ring while Scorpion steps up and stands in the middle of the ring waiting for Destruction. Destruction turns around and stares down Scorpion once again, as he approaches him and stands toe to toe with the challenger in the ring. The two simply stare each other down until Destruction is seemingly laughing in the face of Scorpion. Scorpion continues to stare a moment but he cant take Destruction anymore and fires a right hand in his direction. Destruction blocks it and connects with a right hand of his own to Scorpion. Scorpions head jolts back and he strikes Destruction with one, and Destruction retaliates with another as they begin to trade rights in the middle of the ring. Destruction catches the advantage and begins to send Scorpion staggering back into the corner. Once in the corner, Destruction drives the knee in to the gut of Scorpion, following it up with another right to get Scorpions head back up. Destruction sends Scorpion hard into the opposite corner, causing him to stagger out and Destruction takes him down with powerslam. He stays on him for an early cover but Scorpion gets his foot on the rope after just a count of one.*
King: You see that, early in the match and Scorpion already put his foot on the ropes. What a coward.
CH: He could do whatever he wants.
King: Jeez, you just dont get it do you?
*Destruction and Scorpion both get up at the same time and Scorpion unloads with several furious right hands, not giving Destruction a chance to respond this time. Scorpion begins to slow down, however, and Destruction tries to throw one of his own but Scorpion ducks under, coming around to the back of Destruction and taking him down with a German Suplex! Destruction immediately begins using the ropes to help himself up but Scorpion grabs him by the head and takes him down with a snap suplex. Destruction, takes the blown and rolls to the outside where Tylene comes and the two share a word while Destruction regroups.*
Cole: What do you say about that King?
King: Tylene is hot, I dont blame him.
CH: Youre a lost cause King.
*Scorpion steps to the outside behind Tylene, in front of Destruction and begins to walk over. Destruction begins to back away as Scorpion follows him around to the other side of the ring. Destruction rolls into the ring, Scorpion sliding in after him as Destruction greets him with a boot to the back and drops on him with an axe handle across the side of his head to keep him grounded. Destruction pounces on him, sitting on top of him and firing rights into the forehead of Scorpion before the referee pulls him off of him. Destruction, grabs Scorpion by the head and pulls him to his feet. Destruction, picks him up and drops him back first over his knee with a back breaker. He falls on top of him for the cover, hooking the leg, but Scorpion is still able to kick out after two.*
CH: Nice series of moves from Destruction, trying to keep Scorpion down.
King: See? Destruction is cool.
*Destruction picks him up by the hair and connects with another solid right hand to the head of Scorpion, knocking him back down and Destruction goes for the cover again but Scorpion again kicks out after a count of two. Destruction this time pulls himself to his feet, taking Scorpion with him. Destruction, sets Scorpion up for what looks to be a suplex but Scorpion begins to push Destruction forward with his shoulders. Destruction ends up backing right into a corner, catching the shoulder of Scorpion right into his rib area. Scorpion holds it there a moment to catch a breath and regroup before backing up and driving another shoulder into the stomach of Destruction. He again holds it there but this time for too long as Destruction grabs Scorpion by the hair, pulling his head back and drives a few more right hands into the head of Scorpion, forcing Scorpion back. Scorpion is turned right around by the right hands and falls to one knee. Destruction stands in the corner, waiting for Scorpion to climb to his feet and when he does, comes from behind, taking out the back of the leg of Scorpion.*
Cole: I gotta hand it to Destruction, trying to keep Scorpion down is a great idea. Hurting the legs gets Scorpion hurt when trying to apply the Scorpion Lock.
*Destruction hangs onto the leg of Scorpion and holds it up into the air, giving it a swift kick, right in the same spot he had just attacked to take Scorpion down in the first place, that being the back of the knee. A second kick and Destruction wraps his leg around the one leg of Scorpion and locks in a leg lock. Scorpion begins reaching back in pain as Destruction seems to be pulling on the leg of Scorpion as the hold is still locked in. Destruction lets go of the hold after a short while, still keeping a hold of the leg and drops an elbow on the side of the knee, keeping his elbow over the knee and pull on the foot end of the leg of Scorpion, bending his knee and applying some quick pressure.*
Cole: See, I knew Destruction was going for that.
King: Jealous Cole?
Cole: No.
King: Dammit.
*Destruction eventually lets go of that one as well and placing his hand on the knee of Scorpion, elevates himself and comes down on the knee of Scorpion with his own knees. Destruction now, releases the right knee of Scorpion and backs away completely laughing out to all the fans as Scorpion remains on the mat hunched over, holding his knee and grimacing in pain. Destruction walks back to Scorpion and picks up the leg once again but Scorpion sits up and drives a few rights into the forehead of Destruction, making him let go of the knee as Destruction stumbles back himself. Destruction regroups and sits down on the stomach area of Scorpion once again and fires more rights at the head of Scorpion. His has taken too much at this point, the last right has busted open the head of Scorpion!*
CH: My god! What a punch!
Cole: *cough*steroids*cough*
CH: What was that Cole?
Cole: Oh nothing.
*Destruction gets off of Scorpion, grabbing him by the hair and pulling him up once again. Scorpion is standing on one foot as he has not put that right foot back onto the ground. Destruction locks the head of Scorpion and picks him up for a suplex. Destruction stalls, allowing the blood to flow to the head of Scorpion and it begins to spill out of the wound in the forehead. Destruction falls back and drops Scorpion with the suplex, falling back into the cover. 1...2....Scorpion just gets the shoulder up!*
CH: Scorpion just wont go down!
King: God dammit.
*Destruction sits up and looks back at Scorpion, thinking of what to do next. Destruction grabs the legs of Scorpion and drags him over to the corner. Destruction moves to the outside of the ring, reaching through and grabbing the legs of Scorpion, splitting them around either side of the ring post (he didnt pull him all the way up so nothing was actually "squished" into the pole). Destruction grabs that right leg of Scorpion and looks to be slamming it against the ring post but Scorpion pushes forward with his foot, sending Destruction back into the barricade. Scorpion steps to the outside and the referee begins his ten count. Scorpion grimaces as he stands on that right knee, but he is able to charge forward and clothesline Destruction over the barricade! Scorpion falls over as well and both men are into the Australian crowd!*
CH: And now theyre fighting within my peoples reach!
King: I feel so bad for them.
CH: Shut the hell up you American piece of shit.
*Scorpion is closer to the barricade so he is able to use it and pull himself up, making him the first one to his feet. He greets Destruction with a few rights that send the two back deeper into the crowd and the referee stops the count, heading to the outside to try and gain some control once again. Destruction is just a few feet away from the second barricade that separates the floor seats from the arena seats. Scorpion charges and Destruction back body drops Scorpion. Scorpion doesnt clear the barricade and goes back first! Destruction walks around further into the crowd, the camera focused on Scorpion when Destruction appears again on the other side of the barricade. Destruction has a cable wire, wrapping it around the knee of Scorpion, which hangs over the barricade. Destruction lays down on the other side of the barricade, pulling on the cord, pulling on that knee of Scorpion!*
Cole: Hes trying to destroy that knee of Scorpion!
King: Duh, thats the point.
*Destruction lets go of the cord and makes his way back around to the other side of the barricade. He meets Scorpion on the other side and connects with a few boots to the chest. The referee steps in and forces Destruction back over to the ring area, back over the initial barricade. Scorpion using the far barricade to pull himself up and walks back through the clear path made by the great Australia security, somewhat hobbling back, but does make it. He makes his way back over the next barricade and steps back down on the mat. Destruction, who was hiding down below the barricade, lunges up looking for a hard clothesline, but Scorpion avoids contact, grabbing the side of Destruction and tosses him shoulder/head first into steel steps!*
CH: Oh boy, this match is getting a little bit too brutal.
King: XHF style baby!
*Since the two were back at ringside the referee decided to begin a ten count, Scorpion rolls back into the ring to break up the ten count. Tylene checks on Destruction and helps him up to his feet, which allows Destruction to roll back into the ring. Scorpion greets with a boot to the back, the leg still bothering him, but not enough to slow him down. Scorpion continues to apply the boots to the back of Destruction, kicking him all the way to his feet. Scorpion, whips Destruction across into the ropes and as he comes back, Scorpion takes him down with a hip toss. Destruction bounces right back up into the corner and Scorpion goes corner to corner with a Scorpion Splash! Destruction staggers out of the corner and falls to the mat. Scorpion rolls him over and goes for the cover. 1...2..Tylene pulls on the leg of Scorpion, moving Scorpion off of Destruction.*
CH: Hey she pulled the leg of Scorpion!
King: I didnt see it.
Cole: You dont see anything.
*Tylene turns to the fans and yells out to them, showcasing her accomplishment. Scorpion reaches over the ropes and grabs hold of the hair of Tylene! Scorpion pulls her up onto the apron when Destruction comes from behind and rolls up Scorpion 1,2, Scorpion kicks out!*
King: Dammit almost three.
Cole: That goddamn Tylene causing more of a distraction.
*Tylene jumps down from the apron, Scorpion and Destruction both slowly pulling themselves to their feet. Scorpion and Destruction both get up at about the same time. Scorpion fires away with a right hand but Destruction retaliates with a knee to the gut of Scorpion. Scorpion is whipped into the ropes, and when he comes back, Destruction takes him down with a spinebuster! Destruction bounces up off of Scorpion and falls onto his back, unable to make the cover. Destruction slowly moves over, crawling towards Scorpion and drops the arm over the chest of Scorpion. The cover, 1...2..Scorpion kicks out.*
Cole: Will anything keep Scorpion down!?
King: Ido not know.
CH: This is turning out to be a classic.
*Destruction simply rolls off of Scorpion, both men taking their own sweet time getting to their feet. Scorpion goes for a clothesline but Destruction ducks under reaching back for that neck breaker but Scorpion turns around and has Destructions head set up for the Scorpion Death Drop. Scorpion holds for a moment, making sure he has Destruction set up and drops him with the Scorpion Death Drop!!*
Cole: Scorpion Death Drop!
CH: Scorpion is going to get the win!
King: NO DAMMIT, NO!!
*Scorpion rolls over, draping the arm on Destruction going for the cover. 1...Tylene enters the ring...2...the referee looks up and sees Tylene approaching, he stops the count and gets up over towards Tylene. The referee is now in the face of Tylene trying to get her out of the ring but she continues to try and get over to Destruction and Scorpion, buying Destruction some time! Tylene eventually moves to the apron still screaming over towards the referee. Tylene finally jumps down and Destruction has Scorpions arms hooked for an Eve of Destruction. Scorpion reaches under, pulling the feet out from under Destruction and turns him over for a Scorpion Lock. Scorpion has the legs set and rolls him over, hes got it locked in!*
Cole: Destruction is going to tap he has to tap!
*The look on Tylenes face says it all, Destruction is in trouble. Destruction shaking his head frantically, telling the referee no, he doesnt quit as he reaches for the ropes. Destruction cant quite reach and Tylene decides she needs to jump in and help him out. Tylene jumps on the apron and grabs the attention of the referee. It appears as though Destruction is ready to tap when Scorpion releases the hold and runs into the ropes, running into Tylene taking her down off the apron! Scorpion turns to take a look over at Tylene as the referee moves to the outside to check on her.*
King: Never hit a woman like that dammit!
CH: She interfered in the match!
King: Still doesnt give him the right.
*When Scorpion turns around Destruction is up and sets Scorpion up in a vertical suplex position before picking him up onto his shoulders. Destruction connects with the Countdown to Armageddon! The fact that Tylene has caused all kinds of confusion in this match is now more apparent then ever as Destruction goes to make the cover, and the referee is still on the outside with Tylene! The match has now been left wide open, Destruction, down, battered and exhausted, Scorpion, bloodied, and hes down as well. The referee slides back into the ring and now finally makes the cover. 1....2....Scorpion kicks out! *
King: That was three.
Cole: No, that was two, the referee counted to two.
*Destruction simply rolls off of Scorpion, onto his back, neither man with the energy to get up. Both men, pulling and gripping at the ropes, using them to hold each other up now as well. Destruction staggers out to the middle of the ring. Scorpion quickly turns and surprises Destruction with a Scorpion Plex! Scorpion rolls through and connects with another. Scorpion finishes it off with a Full Nelson Slam, Scorpion has hit Desperate Measures! Destruction is down, arms and legs spread on the mat, he looks completely out. Scorpion is down as well, hes wiping his face, and seemingly rubbing his eyes trying to stay on top of things and crawls over towards Destruction. Scorpion drapes the arm over Destruction, its over. 1....2....Tylene pulls the referee out of the ring! Tylene has suddenly gotten to her feet, and she shoves the referee into the ring post! The referee is now officially down and out!*
Cole: That bitch!
CH: I cant believe she just did that.
*Scorpion rolls off of Destruction as both men lay on the mat, looking up at the lights, neither man making any serious motions and neither aware that the referee is down. Scorpion seems to raise his head a bit, only to drop it, and Destruction follows in doing the same. Scorpion rolls over and sees the referee down on the outside and begins crawling over towards him. Destruction is crawling over the other way towards the end of the ring that is at the bottom of the ramp. Scorpion rolls to the outside and grabs a steel chair! He uses the ring apron and begins to slowly stagger over to where Destruction is heading. Tylene comes from behind Scorpion and tries grabbing the chair. Scorpion startled throws an elbow back and strikes Tylene in the side of the head! Scorpion stops and looks concerned for a brief moment but seems to quickly realize that she shouldnt have gotten involved and continues over towards Destruction. Destruction appears to be reaching for something as his upper body is hanging over the side of the ring apron, lower body in the ring and his hands are behind the ring curtain. Scorpion however, not waiting to see what Destruction was doing, turns the corner and strikes Destruction over the back with a steel chair! Destruction raises his head and lets out a loud scream as Scorpion raises the chair and strikes him again right across the back!*
King: Hes cheating!
Cole: Destruction has been cheating the whole damn match.
CH: Yeah.
*This time Destruction falls right to the outside, on his back and Scorpion lets down the chair, leaning up against the ring apron, still exhausted, and beaten, still feeling the effects on his knee. Destruction begins crawling away towards the ramp and Scorpion picks up the chair once again. Scorpion looks to strike the back once again but Destruction rolls away, avoiding the blow! Destruction, after turning over, gets his foot up and kicks the chair back into the face of Scorpion, and down goes Scorpion. Were now back to square one with both men down, this time on the outside and a chair laying between the two.*
CH: This is great action here.
Cole: I love my job.
*Destruction reaches up and grabs the top of the barricade, pulling himself up to his feet. Destruction, using the barricade and ring apron for support staggers back over towards the ring. He stops and bends over reaching in the same area under the ring that he was earlier but Scorpion lunges at him, partially on top of Destruction and begins firing rights towards Destruction, sliding off and still firing rights to a hunched over Destruction but Destruction back up and drives Scorpions lower back into the side of the ring! Scorpion arches his back and lets out a loud scream, obviously in pain as Destruction does it again! Destruction stuffs Scorpion back into the ring and again reaches under the apron. Tylene is now once again up on the other side of the ring and applauding Destruction, as though she knows what hes going for. Destruction comes back up with sledgehammer in hand!*
CH: Oh no.
Cole: Destruction is sick, SICK!!
King: You say that so much that its lost all meaning.
*Destruction holds the sledgehammer up in front of him, breathing heavily as he slowly slides back into the ring. Scorpion is trying to pull himself up to his feet and Tylene begins to attempt to revive the referee. Scorpion climbs to his knees and looks up at Destruction with the sledgehammer. Scorpion gets a hand up as if asking Destruction not to, but Destruction takes the sledgehammer and drives it right into the head of Scorpion, attacking the already busted open forehead! Scorpion falls back to the mat, eyes shut, motionless on the mat, Scorpion is out cold.*
Cole: Hes trying to kill him!
*Destruction drops the sledgehammer and slides it to the outside while Tylene is helping the referee back into the ring. Destruction, looking a little dazed himself still, falls on top of Scorpion for the cover. The referee slowly sliding over to make the count. 1.....2.....Scorpion just gets the shoulder up, just as the referees hand was to hit the mat for three! Destruction rolls off of him, holding his head, in disbelief as Scorpion just will not go down!*
Cole: What will it take for Scorpion to go down?
CH: Youre going to have to kill him.
King: Destruction can do that.
*Destruction, using the ropes gets to his feet, and picks up Scorpion as well now. Scorpion trying to defend himself, takes a swing but misses and Destruction has him locked for an Overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Scorpion, uses his head, literally and connects with a head but to Destruction. Destruction staggers back and Scorpion takes him down with a hard clothesline! Scorpion immediately rolls to the outside and grabs that steel chair he had earlier and slowly rolls back into the ring. Tylene sees the chair and is out raged jumping up onto the apron and shouting at the referee. Scorpion is up, he raises the chair as Destruction turns and Scorpion cracks the skull of Destruction with the steel chair!*
King: Come on referee how could you not see that?
Cole: Tylene distracted him thats why.
*Scorpion slides the chair out of the ring and falls on top of Destruction. He finds enough in him to hook the leg and yells at the ref to turn around. The referee turns his head slightly and sees the cover being made. He now completely ignores Tylene, who has not gotten down off the apron and makes the count. 1...2...Destruction somehow gets the shoulder up!*
King: YES!
*Now its Scorpion rolling off, simply laying on his back taking his own sweet time, again nobody getting up. Tylene jumps down from the apron, a little bit calmer since Destruction kicked out, but is still irate and is pounding on the mat for Destruction to get up. It would appear shes gone mad as she is pounding the mat relentlessly and screaming at the top of her lungs for Destruction to get up. Scorpion, rolls over, placing his hand on the chest of Destruction to pull himself up and grabs the legs of Destruction. Scorpion, trying to muster the strength to not just turn him over but to fight off the resistance from Destruction. Scorpion manages to roll him over and he has the Scorpion Lock locked in!*
Cole: Scorpions going to win it!
CH: This match has been amazing, and Im loving it.
*Destruction reaching for the ropes, screaming in pain, he cant reach them. Hes trying to pull himself to the ropes but cant do it. Destruction sees no way out when suddenly Scorpion drops the legs, releasing the hold and falling forward onto the mat. Hes breathing heavily, the blood still pouring from his forehead, hes just taken too much and though hes not giving up, and still continuing, Scorpion has lost all energy. Destruction sees the opportunity and crawls a few extra feet, clutching the ropes to pull himself up. Destruction turns after getting to his feet, Scorpion, realizing he has to get up has gotten to his knees. Destruction simply hooks the arms of Scorpion and wastes little time dropping him with the Eve of Destruction!*
King: Scorpion just gave up!
*Destruction sits there on his knees, looking down at Scorpion, looking a little dazed still himself and does not go for the cover. The referee is down and ready to count but Destruction takes a look at him and shakes his head no. He pulls himself up to his feet, Tylene looking on confused as to why he did go for the cover. Destruction picks up Scorpion and drops him with another Eve of Destruction. This time he rolls over for the cover. 1...2...3!*
Winner and still XHF United States Champion: Destruction
King: YES!!
Cole: It took Destruction two Eve Of Destructions to keep Scorpion down.
CH: Encore, encore!
*Destruction rolls off of Scorpion, as the referee raises his hand from the ground hes laying on. Destruction slides over and sits up in the corner, breathing heavily himself after a long and grueling match with Scorpion. Tylene enters the ring with the United States Title and places it in the hands of Destruction. Tylene and Destruction sitting in the corner looking at Scorpion, still down, still motionless, heavy breathing from Scorpion as well. Tylene leaves the ring and Destruction rolls out after her. Between her support and the support of the guardrail Destruction is able to walk out of there with the United States Title over his shoulders.*
CH: Awesome match.
Cole: Talking about awesome matches, the next match will involve a legend in our business. Lets see this video production has done for us.
*The camera opens up, and its old footage of Rhein in the BDDWF. One by Metallica is slowly heard in the background, as Rhein is seen picking up wins and Goring people in the ring. The guitar slowly enters as Rhein is walking down the ramp, and him in the ring posing to the fans. The drums hit, with Rhein hitting multiple clotheslines, and stopping once he hits them. The vocals then kick in.*
I Can't Remember Anything
Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream
Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream
this Terrible Silence Stops Me
Now That the War Is Through with Me
I'm Waking up I Can Not See
That There Is Not Much Left of Me
Nothing Is Real but Pain Now
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God, wake me
*The chorus hits and Rhein hitting people with the Legend Maker and defeating Hanz for the European Title is shown. Rhein then sending Rob Van Dam and Kurt Angle through a table winning the Tag Team championship with Slain.*
Back in the Womb its Much Too Real
In Pumps Life That I must Feel
but Can't Look Forward to Reveal
Look to the Time When I'll Live
Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me
Just like a Wartime Novelty
Tied to Machines That Make Me Be
Cut this Life off from Me
*Rhein defeating Rage and Hanz for the United States Championship, then Rhein Goring Goldust at Night Of Champions shows, as the chorus kicks in once again.*
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God, wake me
Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One
Oh God, help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me
*Rhein now defeating Hanz once again, but this time for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship, and all his title defenses. A clip of hitting Destruction with a chair is shown, and then Goring Reeshi through the cage at the XHF Birthday show. The drums repeat to hit, and the vocals enters with Rhein facing Millennium at Xtreme Impact.*
Darkness
Imprisoning Me
All That I See
Absolute Horror
I Cannot Live
I Cannot Die
Trapped in Myself
Body My Holding Cell
*Rhein holding the XHF Ultimate Title in the air, and then him and Slain defeating The Dark Parade for the Tag Team championship. Rheins history flashes the screen all at once, as the instrumentals enter, showing all of Rheins championship wins and defenses.*
Landmine
Has Taken My Sight
Taken My Speech
Taken My Hearing
Taken My Arms
Taken My Legs
Taken My Soul
Left Me with Life in Hell
*Rhein giving a piledriver to The Scarecrow, and then Goring Brain Doggy Dog through the Greenhouse. Rhein holding his arms up in victory after his match with Reak at Night Of Champions II, and then Rhein knocking Scorpion off the ladder at Retribution. The second to last drum hits and Rhein coming down for his first match in his career is shown, and then with the last drum Rhein is making his entrance for his match at End Of Days.*
King: Awesome.
*The corrupt sound of ELO's take on the classical piece "In the Hall of the Mountain King" starts up as the arena goes dark. The XtremeTron looks as if a hole is being burned through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird, suddenly, the entire area of the "bird" lights up with flames, a phoenix. The letters "XHF" fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on. The song continues as a black bird image emblazoned with "XHF" is projected onto the ring mat. The letters "H" and "F" are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross forming an "X". As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks out, under the large "X" above him. He is wearing his Without Remorse Wrestling Federation Phoenix Championship around his waist as he flicks off booing fans on his way to the ring*
Crocodile Hunter: Crikey! He's not even wearing an XHF Championship!
King: Do you have any idea who your talking about
CH: Not really
King: Ugh, that's Mongo the Destroyer, he's the owner of the XHF
CH: Crikey!
*'mOBSCENE' by Marylin Manson starts up the XHF crowd. 'As the beginning part plays, a strobe light flickers around the crowd, and 'The Human Masterpiece' appears in black letters, with the points of the letters spiked on the white background on the XtremeTron. The crowd cheers heavily, as fog begins to pour from the stage, with the strobe lights flickering through it. Then, nobody appears from behind the curtain, Mongo stands in the ring and looks out at an empty entrance ramp*
CH: Crikey! Where could he be?!
Cole: I don't know
King: Wow, Cole I think I found someone more annoying that you
Cole: Thank you, I think
*Mongo stands there as the music continues to play, but no Rhein. Mongo goes over to the side of the ring facing the commentators table and calls for a microphone, it's handed to him and he goes back toward the entranceway side of the ring*
Mongo: Ok Rhein, you're not coming out huh? I figured you wouldn'tpussy..
*Suddenly Rhein comes from behind Mongo, one assumes from out of the crowd and delivers a clothesline that sends Mongo to the outside! The bell rings and the greenhouse begins to descend, this match is on!*
Greenhouse Match
Rhein The Killa vs. Mongo The Destroyer
*Mongo quickly recovers as Rhein heads to outside the ring as well. The two begin to trade blows and as they do, they move farther from the ring. Mongo lands a large fist, then trips Rhein and forces him head first into the ramp! Rhein rolls over in pain and Mongo kicks him in the gut. Mongo then stands over Rhein and waits for him to get up. As Rhein is getting up, Mongo again begins to send fists into him, but Rhein lands a powerful uppercut that sends Mongo reeling up the ramp backwards!*
CH: Crikey! They're moving AWAY from the ring!
Cole: Yeah, and the greenhouse is on its way down, these two might be locked out!
*Mongo and Rhein continue to brawl their way up the ramp as the greenhouse beings its final decent on the immediate ring area. As they near the top of the ramp, Mongo knees Rhein in the gut and throws him into the Overheated set headfirst! Rhein's skull bounces off of the set and he collapses onto his back. Mongo walks up to Rhein, picks him up, and tosses him off of the entranceway!*
CH: Crikey! He just fell like 30 feet!
Cole: I'd say it's more like 15
*Rhein struggles around on the ground as Mongo begins to descend the ramp. As Mongo makes his way down, the greenhouse lands outside the ring, leaving both men outside of it! Mongo walks all the way down and goes up to the side of the glass; he knocks on it, and is suddenly driven into the side of the greenhouse by Rhein! Mongo stumbles, but then regains his composure. He grabs Rhein and whips him into the corner of the greenhouse, but Rhein reverses and Mongo goes into it! As he hits the corner of the greenhouse the supporting beam in the corner bends and all the glass around it shatters to the ground. Mongo stumbles and falls onto the guardrail. Rhein walks over as Mongo regains his breath, and just as Mongo begins to get up, Rhein takes him down with a spinning wheel kick!*
Cole: These two men are battling out on the outside of the greenhouse!
*Mongo struggles to his knees as Rhein comes with a massive knee to the face. Mongo goes down again. Rhein pulls Mongo up to his feet, then gets him in a suplex position, he pulls, but Mongo blocks it, he tries again, and again Mongo blocks it, suddenly, Mongo overpowers Rhein and suplexes him right through the wall of the greenhouse!*
Cole: Oh my god he put him through the damn greenhouse!
*Mongo gets up and goes over to the ring, he starts digging underneath it, and pulls out a ladder! Mongo goes to the outside with it, but is tripped by Rhein, Mongo stumbles as Rhein gets up quickly and puts him down with a clothesline. With Mongo down, Rhein grabs the ladder and brings it over to the other side of the greenhouse, then sets it up. After he sets it up, Rhein begins to climb the ladder, but suddenly, a panel of glass near him breaks and a hand comes through and grabs Rhein's leg!*
Cole: Mongo is stopping Rhein's accent!
*Rhein shakes his foot, but Mongo refuses to let go from the other side of the glass, he begins ripping away other panels to open up more room, but Rhein sits on the ladder and kicks Mongo's hand off, then quickly scales the ladder to the top of the greenhouse!*
CH: Crikey! He's on the top of the glass structure!
*Mongo's hand pulls back into the greenhouse, moments later he comes charging through the side of it with a massive shoulder block! Rhein takes a breather as Mongo begins to ascend the ladder. When his head begins to poke up above the greenhouse, Rhein goes right in for it, and begins laying fists into Mongo; Mongo however still climbs the rest of the ladder and stands on the top of it! Rhein lands a big fist to the gut and Mongo leans over in pain, Rhein the grabs him by the neck, and leans out over the greenhouse, he then lifts up Mongo and nails a suplex that sends Mongo through the greenhouses roof!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!
*As Mongo falls he lands just inside the ring, hitting his head on the top rope. Mongo grabs his head and rolls around in agony as Rhein begins to descend the ladder. Rhein goes down the ladder, and then goes into the greenhouse where Mongo had run through it. He goes to the side of the ring where Mongo is, and pulls his head out below the bottom turnbuckle; he then drops an elbow on Mongo's face. Mongo curls up into a ball in pain and Rhein slides into the ring. He rolls Mongo onto his back and goes for a pin, 1-2- Mongo kicks out with authority and sends Rhein across the ring. Mongo sit up quickly, regaining his strength and sends a recovering Rhein out of the ring with a big clothesline. Rhein rolls on the outside as Mongo steps over the top rope and down to the ringside. Both men are now on the same side at which they originally entered as Mongo pulls up Rhein and throws him headfirst into the unbroken corner of the greenhouse. Rhein's head breaks two panels of glass on either side of his face. Mongo then again reaches under the ring, this time finding a sledgehammer. He runs at Rhein who is standing in the corner and swings, but Rhein ducks at just the right moment, sending the hammer flying through the glass and completely destroying the corner's support beam. Several panels on that side crack and a large creak emanates from the mighty glass structure*
Cole: I don't know if this greenhouse will be able to be used again!
King: I don't know if these wrestlers will be able to be used again!
*As Mongo throws down the sledgehammer in anger, Rhein delivers a running knee to Mongo's stomach. Mongo doubles over and Rhein lifts him up and hits the Chaostrify onto the broken glass! Rhein slides into the ring and begins to taunt Mongo to get up and into the ring! Mongo rolls in the broken glass as blood starts to appear around him, he slowly climbs to his feet and painfully pulls the glass out of his hands. Mongo then looks over at a taunting Rhein, but just waves his hand at him, and then Mongo goes to the barricade and leans over it. Rhein doesn't know what to think as he watches Mongo pull out a ladder from the other side of the barricade!*
CH: Crikey! Mongo must have had that incase of an emergency!
King: Nothing gets past you does it Croc Hunter?
*Mongo carries the ladder the side facing the commentators' table, and sets it up. Rhein shakes his head in the ring, then darts out of the ring and to the other ladder! The two begin climbing up, Rhein faster than Mongo. As Mongo nears the top, Rhein has already made it and is now standing on the greenhouse again. Mongo gets to the top and Rhein moves in for the kill, he begins punching at Mongo, but this time Mongo lands a haymaker on Rhein that sends him stumbling backwards and almost through the hole Mongo's body already made! Rhein balances on the edge of the hole as Mongo gets to his feet on the top of the cell. The two look at each other with anger. Rhein comes at Mongo with what appears to be the gore but Mongo nails Rhein with a big boot! Rhein collapses and Mongo picks up in what appears to be a reverse Death Valley Driver position. As Mongo holds Rhein on his shoulders he lets out of shout of "OLD SCHOOL!" Then delivers the Hell Pound to Rhein through the cell!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!! That's the move that started all of this!
King: I never thought he'd hit that!
CH: CRIKEY!
*Mongo looks at Rhein laying in the ring, conveniently face up and spread out. Mongo looks up at the crowd with a sick look in his eye's, then jumps off the top through the hole and right onto Rhein with a HUGE body splash!*
Cole: And it keeps getting worse for Rhein!
*Mongo stays on Rhein as the ref counts, 1-2- Mongo pulls up Rhein's head and shoulders! Mongo gets up and begins to parade around the ring. Rhein huffs and puffs and begins to get to his feet, as soon as he does, Mongo again floors him with a huge clothesline. Rhein seems to be going out of it as Mongo pulls him up by his hair and picks him up. Mongo holds Rhein above his head for half a minute, walking around the ring, then throws him into the side of the greenhouse, Rhein's body just bounces off and lands on the floor. Mongo then goes over the top rope and to the outside where Rhein lays, clenching his fists, trying to reach inside*
Cole: It looks like Rhein is trying to reach inside himself and gain some strength!
*Mongo again brings Rhein to his feet, he then grabs Rhein's head and smashes it through the side of the greenhouse! Rhein leans on the remaining part of the wall as blood trickles down it. Mongo smiles sadistically as he picks Rhein up and throws him back over the top rope, Rhein rolls in the ring, then uses the ropes to pull himself up. Mongo slides himself into the ring and Rhein walks over and begins to lay the boots into Mongo before he can get up. Slowly, as Rhein kicks at him, Mongo is able to get to one knee, he then low blows Rhein*
Cole and King: OUCH!
CH: CRIKEY!
*Rhein doubles over and Mongo picks him up as if for an Awesome Bomb, but Mongo holds Rhein up in it, he then walks to the side of the ring, opposite to the one he last threw Rhein off. Mongo then throws Rhein at the greenhouse and Rhein goes crashing through the side! Rhein rolls to his knees and clenches his fists, looking deep for something to hold on to. Mongo mocks him in the ring, Rhein sees this and bolts up, he comes running through the hole he just made and slides into the ring, he begins to punch at Mongo, but Mongo firmly grabs him by the throat!*
Cole: Mongo just wont stop! Things look bad for Rhein!
*Mongo holds onto Rhein's throat and Rhein begins to fade. Rhein's fists clench, but then fall, clench, then fall. Rhein drops to one knee as Mongo gets a huge smile on his face, Rhein fades, and fades. Then his head drops, Mongo opens his eyes wide and looks around at the crowd smiling sadistically. Suddenly, Rhein's head bolts up and a very determined look appears on his face*
Cole: I think Rhein might be coming back!
*Rhein sends a hard right into the gut of Mongo, Mongo doubles over and Rhein, with newfound power gives Mongo the California Cutter! Mongo falls hard and Rhein goes for the pin 1-2- Mongo just kicks out. Rhein gets up and paces around the ring, he goes by the ropes and waits for Mongo, as he does, he moves his feet as if he's preparing to charge*
CH: Crikey! That's what the Rhinos do!
Cole: I think this might be the end for Mongo here
*As Mongo gets to his feet and wobbles around, Rhein charges with the Gore, but Mongo sidesteps it and throws Rhein through the second rope and into the glass supporting the side with the two knocked out corners! Rhein flies through the glass, the greenhouse lets out a large groan, then that whole side falls to the ground!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!
CH: CRIKEY!
King: That's going to be expensive!
*Glass flies everywhere including into the crowd as Rhein just barely rolls out of the way of the collapsing roof. Mongo stands in the center of the ring, his eyes wide open in shock, as the camera looks at him through the hole in the now slanted roof of the greenhouse. Rhein stands up quickly, and with a determination in his eyes not seen in at least a year he locks looks with Mongo through the whole in the roof. The two stand there, then as cameras flash from everywhere, Rhein bolts up the side of the roof, jumps through the hole in it and comes in full force on Mongo with the gore!!*
Cole: GORE!!!!!!!!!!!
*Mongo goes down and stays down, instead of going for a pin though, Rhein pulls Mongo to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Mongo goes for a clothesline, but Rhein ducks it and hits the Decypher!*
CH: Crikey! That move could be a real Legend Maker!
*Before Rhein can get the pin, Mongo starts to get up, Rhein flashes a smile and is ready for anything Mongo can bring. As Mongo gets to his feet, Rhein grabs Mongo by the head and again picks the big man up! This time Rhein lifts Mongo for a suplex, and then hits the Rolling Takeout! Mongo rolls out of the ring holding his neck as Rhein paces around the ring. Mongo rolls close to the ring and reaches under it, Rhein goes to investigate and ends up on the receiving end of a spray from a fire extinguisher. Rhein falls back holding his eyes as Mongo rolls to his feet and slides in with the fire extinguisher. As Rhein is getting up, Mongo nails Rhein with it! Rhein falls flat on the mat and Mongo looks around the crowd with his eyes very big. Mongo then waves his hand up to his ear as the crowd begins to boo*
Cole: He isn't
King: He couldn't..
CH: What is going on?
*Mongo bounces back and forth on the ropes and then jumps for the Xtreme Legdrop, but Rhein rolls out of the way. Rhein rolls to his feet as Mongo gets up. Rhein goes at Mongo, but Mongo knees him in the junk.*
King & Cole: EEK!
CH: Uhh..CRIKEY!
*Mongo then puts Rhein's head between his legs and puts his arms out in either directing. Mongo then picks up Rhein for the Xtreme Edge, but Rhein wriggles out of it! Before Mongo can turn around, Rhein hits a German suplex, then holds it for the pin! 1-2- And Mongo kicks out! Rhein rolls to his feet and waits for Mongo to get up. As soon as Mongo does, Rhein whips him to the corner, Mongo hits and falls down. Rhein then goes to the corner and sets Mongo up and hits the Downward Crush! He lets Mongo go into the turnbuckle and fall back. Then Rhein pulls Mongo up, kicks him in the gut, takes a deep breath, and hits Mongo with the Rules of evidence! 1-2-3!
Winner & Free of Contractual Duties: Dominic "Rhein the Killa" Retondo
Cole: What a match and what a career!
*Mongo struggles around in the ring but then calls for a microphone. A stagehand brings him one, and helps him up. Mongo then begins to speak*
Mongo: Rhein, you did it, you showed me that you are still the best out there, and although I hate to allow it, you will now be freed of your contract Bongo! Bring out Rhein's contract!
*Men at Work's "Down Under" blasts as XHF mainstay, Bongo, walks out with a big smile a piece of paper on a clipboard. He walks down as the fans cheer and Rhein gets a big look in his eyes, like a kid in a candy shop. Bongo gets down to the destroyed greenhouse and looks for a way in, finally he opts to bend down and go through an opening in the wall. He crawls into the ring, which is covered in glass, and stands up*
Mongo: Ok now Bongo, give me the clipboard
*Bongo does and Mongo holds Rhein's contract in the air as Rhein stares at it. Then, slowly, Mongo proceeds to tear it in half. Mongo then hands the pieces to Rhein and Rhein takes them gratefully, then begins to leave*
Mongo: Whoa-whoa-whoa!
*Rhein turns around*
Mongo: There's something else I want to give you
*Rhein cautiously goes back to Mongo. Mongo looks Rhein in the eyes, and sticks out his hand, gesturing for a handshake. Rhein looks at Mongo's hand, then his face, then his hand again, and finally clasps Mongo's hand in a handshake, which Mongo leans in and pats Rhein on the back. The Mongo pulls back*
Mongo: Rhein, I want to thank you for all that you have done for the XHF. Hell, if it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be fans out there, there wouldn't be any XHF brand PPVs, hell, there wouldn't be an XHF, you were one of the first people aboard the ship and hell you drove it. Thank you, for all that you've done, and best of luck to you in the future
*"mOBSCENE" then hits as Mongo raises Rhein's arm in victory. Then the two head to the back*
*The lights dim and Slayer's "South Of Heaven" starts. The guitar riffs start out slowly and continue on for about forty seconds, the drums kick in and lead the crowd into the theme of "Primetime" Chris Sanders. Gold confetti shoots into the air in simultaneous movement with the drumbeats. The vocals kick in as the crowd watches the entranceway, for Chris Sanders.
An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time
Unsuspecting victims no warnings no sign
Judgment day the second coming arrives
before you see the light you must die!
One big gold pyro explodes at the end of the verse and from the smoke stands "Primetime" Chris Sanders along with Trish Stratus, Stratus starts making her way towards the ring as her boyfriend stands in the entrance way longer, with his back towards the ring.
Forgotten children confirm a new faith
Avidity and lust controlled by hate
The never-ending search for your shattered sanity
Souls of damnation in their own reality.
Sanders turns and slowly makes his way to the ring, ignoring the fans. He stares at the ring, where Trish is now straddling the second rope, basically to get a cheap pop from the fans. Sanders continues his path.
Chaos rampant in an age of distrust
Confrontations impulsive habitat
Bastard sons begat your cunting daughter
promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers
Ingrate souls condemned for all eternity
Observe by moral judgment in dominary deity...
Sanders steps into the ring and goes to the right corner, where his girlfriend assists him with his boxing robe, after taking the robe off he gets on the top turnbuckle and raises his fist to the sky and the fans boo him continuously until he gets down, he motions to the entrance way for his opponent to come down, before yawning...making a mockery of his opponent, before he even shows his face.*
Cole: Here is Chris Sanders.
CH: And here, we have a prime specimen of the species known as Primetime.
King: This guy isnt serious is he?
*Speculum by Adema hits the PA and Lance Storm emerges from behind the curtain wearing the X*Crown Championship around his waist and holding the belts up in the air at the top of the ramp to a huge chorus of boo's. Just as the song starts to pick up Storm makes his way down the ramp flaunting his titles as people yell things and flip him off. Storm gets into the ring and proceeds to the opposite side and poses on the ropes holding the titles up in the air as the crowd continues to boo. He then hops off the ropes and walks to the corner and begins stretching as his music dies down.*

"Primetime" Chris Sanders (PCW Primetime Champion) vs. Lance Storm (X*Crown Champion)
*The bell is rung and the two men grapple in the center of the ring. Sanders knees Storm in the gut. He whips Storm off the ropes and hits a back body drop. Storm rolls to his feet and they start exchanging right hands and not getting anywhere fast.*
CH: Crikey! Its a battle for dominance. Danger, Danger, Danger!! I love it!
Cole: Hey Steve, this is wrestling not nature watching.
King: Were you dropped on your head as a child? Or traumatized by a dingo?
CH: No . . . my parents owned a reptile preserve and I . . . love animals. And these blokes are obviously fighting for territory or some Sheila around here somewhere. Absolutely fascinating!
Cole: Right . . .
*Storm finally gets the upper hand with a hard kick to the shin and a jaw crusher. Sanders stands and is greeted by a standing dropkick. He stands and gets the same result. He stands but ducks this time and Storm misses the dropkick and Sanders grabs him and turns it into an atomic drop. He then starts stomping the hell out of Storm before Storm rolls out of the ring. The ref starts the ten count. Sanders rolls out at 5 restarting the count. He walks over to Storm but gets a drop toehold and his face slams into the barricade and he falls back holding his nose. Storm stands and grabs Sanders. He whips him and Sanders goes shoulder first into the ring steps as they pop up and land in the same spot giving no leeway. Storm rolls into the ring. He backs to the corner. Sanders slowly enters the ring. Storm charges and goes for a superkick but Sanders ducks and kicks out his other leg. He then opens his leg and hits a leg drop to the groin and stomach areas. He mounts Storm and begins punching. He then goes into a blatant choke and the ref starts a 5 count. 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . he breaks it as the ref warns him. Sanders backs off hands in the air. He moves back to Storm and goes to pick him up but when he bends, Lance hooks in a small package for a 2 count.*
CH: Oh, the Stormer species almost made the Primetime species extinct.
Cole: Wheres Gravedigger when you need him?
King: Hell wheres Buttons or those crocs for that matter!?!?
*Sanders rolls up mad as hell and tries to clothesline Storm but Lance ducks and hooks the leg. He rolls through and turns it into the Canadian Maple Leaf. The ref checks for a tap out but Sanders wont give. He pulls himself slowly to the ropes. He gets closer and closer and collapses in pain. He pushes himself back up and almost reaches but Storm walks him back to the center of the ring. Sanders still wont quit. Finally he half rolls over and uses his free leg to hit an inverted enziguri type maneuver knocking Storm away. He pulls himself into the corner and slowly pulls himself up trying to keep his weight on his good leg. His right leg is injured from the move. He hobbles to the center of the ring as Storm leaps to the top and comes off with a flying spinning heel kick. Sanders catches the leg and turns him into a reverse Achilles lock. Storm screams in pain as his left foot is twisted and crushed by the lock on the tendon. Storm quickly pushed up and pulls himself over to the ropes. Sanders wont break the hold. 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4 . he breaks it and hops on his left leg back to the opposite ropes as Storm grabs his foot and stands not nearly as hurt as Sanders. Sanders uses all his energy to run and hit a diving shoulder block. He stands but on one leg as Storm rolls to the opposite side and stands. He charges right into a tilt-o-whirl slam. Sanders pins. 1 . . . 2 . . . kick out. Storm sends a kick to the chest of Sanders and then brings himself up to one knee. Sanders goes for a clothesline but Storm rolls forward under it to his feet and decks Sanders when he turns around with a huge Superkick. He pins and gets a three count.*
Fall One: Lance Storm
Cole: Well that was great. Now is the hardcore match.
CH: Now small children may not want to watch as sometimes when animals decide to get . . . as Mikey here put it . . . hardcore . . . things can get pretty ugly.
King: *stunned* . . . I . . . That is just wrong Steve, he means they get weapons now! AGH! Bad mental picture, Im going to lose my lunch, dinner, and after dinner snack!
CH: I had a nice Dingo Burger for lunch.
King: OOP! *hurls on Steve*
*Storm is outside the ring getting weaponry for the second fall when the bell rings. Sanders rolls out the other side. Sanders grabs a trash can lid and throws it into the ring and then gets a cookie tray. Storm throws two chairs, a trashcan, a kendo stick, two kali sticks (Blackmans party sticks), and a nightstick into the ring and rolls in holding a bat surrounded in barbed wire as well as a barbed wire-wrapped flaming 2 x 4. He looks up and Sanders isnt there. He goes to the ropes and looks out and Sanders who was sitting against the ring swings up and knocks Storm back into the ring with the tray and he lands on the trash can lid. Sanders goes back in holding his jaw and still limping. He grabs the 2 x 4 and hits Storm with it before it burns down to his hand and he throws it next to Steve Irwin.*
Cole: Steve . . . your pants are . . .
CH: (Interrupting) Nice, yes I know.
King: No Croc Dude, they are on fire.
*Steve begins hopping up and down before stuffing his foot in a bucket of water near the ring. As he does, Sanders tosses Storm out of the ring on top of him. He tries to hit Storm with the chair but hits Steve instead. He then rolls Steve to the announce table unconscious.*
King: Danger, Danger, Danger!! . . . he was right!
*Storm stands and is greeted with a kendo stick to the gut. Sanders pushes him into the barricade. He tries to hit him with the chair again but Storm moves and Sanders hits the wall and hurts his fingers. Storm grabs him and tries for a short arm clothesline but Sanders ducks and whips him face first into the steel ring post as Storm hits it and his legs swing out and he lands face first on the ground on the other side of the ring post. Sanders gets the other chair and grabs a chair in each hand by the folding part. Storm stands and gets a conchairto from Sanders. Storm falls to the mat and appears to be out cold. Sanders taunts to the crowd. He walks over to the fallen body of Storm and locks in a Boston Crab. Storm is not moving. The ref checks him and lifts the arm. It falls back to the floor. He lifts it a second time to the same result. He lifts it a third but it remains up as Storm starts fighting. He is madly trying to break the hold. Finally he pushes up enough to push his legs back making Sanders do a front flip and land on his back. Both men are down now.*
Cole: OH! That was awesome.
CH: *Waking up and sitting in his seat again* Ouch. Look at the pure struggle amongst these mighty blokes.
King: Kill him please Cole.
*Storm rolls over and pulls himself into the ring. He grabs the bat and waits. Sanders climbs up the apron and Storm swings and cracks him in the face. Sanders falls into the barricade and rolls to the floor. Storm goes up for a top rope elbow drop but Sanders moves letting Storm crash to the ground. Sanders slowly reaches under the ring and pulls out a cowbell. He goes over to Storm who is standing and slams him in the back of the head with it. He then hits an Aura Breaker. He pins for a 3.*
Second Fall: Primetime Chris Sanders
Cole: Tied at 1.
CH: These animals are locked in a stalemate. Man this doesnt get much better. Except if I had a fresh rack of ribs on the barbie . . .
King: Shut up Croccy. Before I Crikey your ass!
Cole: Im being told this is a totally different Inferno Match, thanks to Mongo Corp! The ropes are on fire, and you win by pin or submission.
King: So if youre on fire, you still have to continue the match?
Cole: Yes.
King: SWEET!
*They light the ropes on fire after both men roll into the ring. Sanders taunts the crowd while Lance tries to stand. They meet in the center of the ring exchanging punches again. Sanders goes for a hard right but Storm ducks and hooks the arm. He tosses him back and into the flaming ropes. Sanders bounces off and grabs his back. A part of his back is burned. He charges at Storm again but Lance hits a running calf kick on the leg he injured before knocking Sanders down.*
Cole: This fall should be fast after the beating these guys were giving each other.
*Storm goes for a stomp but Sanders grabs his leg and knocks him over making his neck land on the ropes. Storm falls to the ground holding his now burned neck. Sanders stands up and picks up Storm. He hits a rolling German Suplex. Storm breaks the bridge quick and rolls under the ropes.*
King: Theyre on their last legs!
*Storm finally gets back into the ring. Sanders hits a clothesline. Storm stands again. Sanders goes for a superkick but Storm catches it and drops into the Canadian Maple Leaf on the injured leg. Sanders cant grab the ropes so he taps out.*
Winner and still XHF X*Crown Champion: Lance Storm
Cole: And Lance Storm defeats Chris Sanders, retaining his X*Crown Championship!
King: Wow, that was great.
CH: And I think we have one match left.
*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...
Uncurable
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 and through it all walks Reeshi as the Burn to Burn is now into high gear. Reeshi is greeted with a mix reaction from the fans. He slowly walks down the ramp, reaching the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He walks to the far side and climbs the turnbuckle, raising both arms into the air, showboating to the fans. Reeshi steps down and stands in the middle of the ring.*
Cole: This match has a lot to prove tonight.
King: He has nothing to prove but just pin Rat, 1-2-3. Reeshi is a former seven-month World Heavyweight champion, Rat cant stop that.
Cole: You going against Rat?
King: No, I like both men.
CH: Wait, a actual Rat is fighting in this match?
*The arena is in a silent hush as the starting guitar riffs from Stainds Price To Play hit the arena sound system as the Xtreme XtremeTron flashes pictures from Rat Bastards more memorable moments here in the XHF. Suddenly the curtain is flipped up and Rat walks from behind it with the XHF Championship draped over his shoulder, gazing out evilly into the crowd. Bright flashes from strobe lights go off as Rat makes his way down the ramp. Slowly he climbs upon the outside of the apron, and tosses the belt into the ring before climbing in himself.*
CH: Thats the XHF Championship he just threw into the ring like that?
Cole: I know.
CH: Man, this guy is a bastard.
King: Hes the XHF Champion, he could do whatever he wants.
Texas Bullrope Match for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship
Reeshi vs. Rat Bastard
*Rat Bastard walks up into the center of the ring and begins to scream at Reeshi. Rat points down the XHF Championship, as the referee is handed the bullrope. Reeshi places his hand between one of the holes of the bullrope and the referee tightens it around his wrist, and then Rat does the same. The referee picks up the XHF Championship and holds it in the air, and then hands it into the timekeeper. Rat Bastard and Reeshi stay where they are but Rat turns his back and begins to walk away, but Reeshi pulls him using the bullrope and knocks him down! Rat Bastard gets up furious and runs to Reeshi, hitting him with a forearm sending him into the ropes. Rat continues the assault, and then grabs the free wrist of Reeshi. Rat goes to throw Reeshi, but Reeshi stops in his tracks and turns around and then uses the bullrope to pull Rat Bastard to himself and knocks Rat down with a hellacious clothesline! Rat hits the mat hard but gets back up to his feet as soon as possible, and Reeshi knocks Rat down with a clothesline again. Rat shakes his head and gets back to his feet, and Reeshi drives a boot into the stomach of Rat Bastard. Rat bends over and Reeshi hooks both of his arms and sets Rat next to him. Reeshi tries to go for a Pain Killer, but Rat pulls himself down and get out of the hold. Reeshi goes for another clothesline, but Rat Bastard ducks and grabs the cowbell that is attached to the bullrope, and once Reeshi turns around Rat clocks him in the head with the cowbell!*
CH: What a shot!
King: Oh, now I remember why I love Rat Bastard.
*Reeshi falls to the mat holding his head, as Rat turns Reeshi around placing his stomach against the mat. Rat Bastard sits onto the back of Reeshi and then wraps the bullrope around the neck of Reeshi and pulls back, locking in a camel clutch type move! Reeshi grabs on to the bullrope so that he isnt complete choked, so Rat lets go and climbs up to his feet and gives Reeshi a stomp in the back of the neck. Rat Bastard lifts up Reeshi to his feet and shoves him into a corner, and sends big boots into the stomach area of Reeshi. Rat bends Reeshi over and grabs him in a front facelock, and gets him in position for a suplex. Rat Bastard lifts Reeshi up and holds him in the air for a while, causing all the blood to rush to the brain of Reeshi. Rat Bastard holds Reeshi up there for a while longer, and then finally drops him into the mat and floats over. 1-2-Reeshi gets a shoulder up, and Rat stands up and drives a big boot into the chest of Reeshi. Rat then places his foot on top of Reeshis neck and then pulls the bullrope, trying to pull Reeshis shoulder out of the socket! Reeshi screams in pain as Rat continues to pull, but then finally stops and he leans back into the ropes and then jumps up and drives knee into the face of Reeshi. Rat once again makes the cover, but Reeshi kicks out before the count of three. Rat Bastard stands up to his feet and pulls Reeshi to his feet, and then punches him into the face. Reeshi takes a step back and Rat Bastard runs to the ropes, but Reeshi catches him and slams him down into the mat with a powerslam! Reeshi automatically hooks the leg, but Rat kicks out. Reeshi grabs Rat by the hair and picks him up to his feet, and then wraps the bullrope around the neck of Reeshi. Rat Bastard pleads for mercy, but Reeshi just shakes his head and laughs and then throws Rat over the top rope hanging Rat Bastard!*
King: Whose more violent, Rat or Reeshi?
CH: From the look at things, Reeshi.
Cole: Ill say Rat, because hell do anything to win.
*The referee screams at Reeshi to let go of Rat, but Reeshi does by pushing the referee. Rat Bastard falls face first into the padding, and Reeshi walks over the top rope and to the outside. Reeshi lifts Rat Bastard up and throws him into the ring steps, but then pulls Rat Bastard up and clotheslines him down! Rat Bastard falls to the padding facing up at Reeshi, as Reeshi looks into the camera and shakes his head. Reeshi grabs Rat by the hair and screams at him, and then pulls him up to his feet! Rat screams in pain from the hair pulling, but Reeshi suddenly takes all the pain off his hair and throws Rat backfirst into the ring post! Rat falls to the mat face first screaming in pain, as Reeshi walks over him. Rat Bastard is lifted up to his feet and rolled into the ring, and Reeshi soon follows. Reeshi walks to Rat and lifts him in a bent over position, placing him between his legs. Reeshi lifts Rat Bastard up for a powerbomb, but once Rat is up there he blasts Reeshi in the head with the cowbell! Reeshi lies on the mat almost unconscious as Rat climbs to his feet pointing to his head, telling the crowd how smart he is. He climbs all the way up to his feet, and lifts Reeshi all the way to his feet. The bullrope is longer enough that the cowbell is lying on the mat so when Rat goes for a DDT on Reeshi, Reeshi lands headfirst onto the cowbell! Reeshi flips over onto his back and Rat makes the cover on Reeshi, but Reeshi kicks out. Rat looks at the referee and questions the count, but climbs up to his feet and continues his assault on Reeshi. Rat pulls Reeshis arm up with the bullrope, and then leg drops the arm of Reeshi. Rat doesnt make the cover, instead he repeats the process, trying to take out the arm of Reeshi.*
Cole: Very smart move by Rat Bastard. By taking out the arm of Reeshi, it will be easier to apply the Rat Trap.
CH: Maybe he just doesnt want Reeshi to use that arm.
Cole: Maybe.
*Rat Bastard sits Reeshi up and grabs the arm he has been working on, and bends the elbow, putting pressure on the arm. Reeshi shakes his head and climbs up to his feet, and elbows Rat in the stomach with the free arm. Rat releases the hold and Reeshi turns around and begins to send fists into the face of Rat Bastard. After three more shots Reeshi lifts Rat Bastard onto his shoulders, and looks around at the crowd. They actually give Reeshi a nice pop, as he spins in the circle of the ring and stops, and then hits The Oreeshinator! Reeshi sits up and looks down at Rat Bastard, and then at the crowd, and shakes his head in disapproval. Reeshi gets back up and grabs Rat Bastard by the hair, and lifts him up to his shoulders once again! Reeshi turns his back to the crowd and walks backwards to the corner, and then climbs up the bottom turnbuckle. Reeshi then stakes another step onto the second turnbuckle with Rat still on his shoulders, but Rat slides off. Rat grabs the arm he was working on Reeshi earlier and the two jump off crashing Reeshi face first into the mat, and Rat places Reeshis arm between his legs and grabs him by the face to apply the Rat Trap!*
Cole: The Rat Trap!
CH: Ew, that looks like hes pulling on the arm and neck of Reeshi.
King: Thats what he is doing.
CH: Oh, carry on then.
*Reeshi screams in pain for the one of the first times in his career, as Rat pulls back locking the move in tight. Reeshi uses his free hand to push himself up, as he slowly climbs up to his feet with Rat still holding them submission on Reeshi! Rat doesnt seem to be letting go, so Reeshi tries to pull him off by running into the corner driving Rats spine into the turnbuckle! Rat doesnt release the hold, so Reeshi runs to the opposite corner and drives Rat into that turnbuckle! Rat falls to the floor holding his back, as Reeshi holds up the bullrope and begins to whip Rat with it! The whipping continues, with Rat screaming more and more from each shot. Reeshi finally stops the whipping and holds his arm up, to get a reaction from the crowd. Reeshi nods his head and then grabs Rat by the head and begins to pull him up, but when Rat gets to his knees he low blows Reeshi bending him over! Reeshi is in pain and Rat Bastard climbs to his feet and grabs the shirt of Reeshi and drives him between the top and middle rope, smashing his shoulder! Reeshi slowly takes a few steps back holding his shoulder, but all of a sudden Rat Bastard runs and grabs Reeshis arm and tries to go for the Rat Trap once again! Rat tries to get the arm of Reeshi, but Reeshi struggles out, not wanting to be in that painful submission. Rat tries to get Reeshi to do it with some forearm shots to the back, but when he tries the move again Reeshi refuses to be put into it. Rat releases an angry groan, and then stands up to his feet and pulls Reeshi with him, setting him between hit two legs. Rat Bastard begins screaming at the fans, making the crowd hate him more than the did before. Rat grabs the waist of Reeshi and pulls him up for a Bastard Bomb, but Reeshi slips off to his feet and smacks across the face with the cowbell!*
King: That damn cowbell comes in handy.
Cole: I had a cow once but
King: Dont care.
Cole: But Im just
CH: Dont care either.
*Rat Bastard is cut open from the shot, but doesnt have time to take a breather as Reeshi uses the bullrope to pull himself up to his feet and hit him with the cowbell once again! Rat stumbles to the mat, not trying to get to his feet. Reeshi goes to his knees and goes over to Rat, and pulls his head up. Reeshi wraps the bullrope around his fist, and then begins pummeling Rat! The shots to the head effect Rat, as he is slowly dazing away. Reeshi covers Rat, but Rat kicks out before the three count. Reeshi looks at the referee with a face of disgust of the count, but then climbs up to his feet, and begins to pick up the XHF World Heavyweight Champion. Reeshi drives hellacious forearms in to the back of Rat, but Rat stands up with a burst of energy and begins to trade some blows himself. Rat sends Reeshi to the ropes and continues the forearms and goes to send Reeshi to the opposite ropes, but Reeshi reverses it sending Rat to the ropes, but Rat pulls the bullrope with him sending Reeshi to the outside! Rat lies against the ropes trying to get rest, but Reeshi doesnt waste time as he uses the bullrope to pull Rat Bastard out of the ring! Rat rolls to the ramp way and Reeshi follows. Reeshi gets a boot in onto Rat, and then takes the bullrope and wraps it around the neck of Rat. Reeshi places the rope over his shoulder, and then begins to drag Rat Bastard up the ramp way! Rat gasps for air, but Reeshi keeps the bullrope around his neck. Reeshi finally reaches to the top of the ramp way, and he lifts Rat up and sends a right hand to his face. Reeshi grabs the bullrope and pulls it, swinging Rat right into the Overheated set! Rat buries his face into the set, as Reeshi walks up from behind him and pulls his hair and tells him that he cant win. Reeshi pulls Rat off the Overheated set and goes to through him in the entranceway, but Rat reverses sending Reeshis spine first into the steel poll. Reeshi groans, but Rat pulls the bullrope, sending Reeshi face first into the poll across from it!*
King: Thats a way to use the bullrope.
Cole: This match is great!
CH: You guys have to come to Australia move often. I love this!
*Reeshi is lying on the floor in the entranceway, as Rat mounds him and flips him off, screaming Fuck you! Rat then picks Reeshi up to his feet and wraps the bullrope around his neck like a noose, but then pulls back and turns away causing Reeshi to smash the back of his head into the steel poll! Reeshi falls face first into the entranceway, holding the back of his head. Rat stomps on the back of Reeshis neck, and then picks up him and holds his head while walking down the ramp. Rat throws Reeshi into the railing, and Reeshi hits it hard. Reeshi holds his back after being driving into the railing, and while he is sitting down Rat takes advantage by placing his foot in his throat, choking the longest running XHF champion. Rat finally gets his foot off the neck of Reeshi, and lifts him up to his feet. Rat walks down to the ramp and around to the announce, and then takes Reeshis head and smashes him into it. Rat doesnt release the hold, as he continues to send Reeshis forehead into the announce table. Rat finally releases the hair of Reeshi and then goes to the timekeepers table, and snatches the XHF Championship from the timekeeper. The timekeeper and Rat Bastard are arguing to one another, so Rat just knocks him out with a shot to the head with the title belt! The referee checks on the timekeeper, as Rat taunts Reeshi to get to his feet. Reeshi slowly pushes himself to his feet using the announce table, and once he turns his attention to Rat he gets smacked in the head with the XHF championship! The crowd boos, as Reeshi is down to the padding, now bleeding. Rat throws the XHF championship into the ring, and then lifts Reeshi up and rolls him onto the announce table.*
Cole: Uh oh, lets get away from here.
King: I concur.
*The announcers scatter around, as Rat Bastard begins to send forearms into the chest of Reeshi. Rat now climbs the English announce table, and lifts Reeshi up to his feet. Rat mocks Reeshi, setting him in place for the Coral Reesh! Rat hooks both of the arms on Reeshi, but Reeshi gets out and back body drops Rat, sending him through the Spanish announce table!*
Al Gomez: iQu el jode!?
Hector Gonzales: Yo no lo puedo creer!
King: What the fuck!
Cole: I cant believe it!
CH: Cranky, that was brutal.
*The crowd is on their feet, as Reeshi is on his hands and knees on the announce table. Rat Bastard doesnt seem to be moving, as the referee checks on him now. Reeshi finally gets off the announce table and walks to Rat, pushing the referee out of the way. Reeshi picks Rat up and throws him into the ring steps! Rats shoulder drives hard into the ring steps, as he bounces off holding his shoulder. Reeshi is finally fully up to his feet and uses every bit of strength to pull Rat Bastard up, and when Rat Bastard gets to his feet Reeshi pulls the bullrope and then clotheslines Rat Bastard down! Blood begins to rush down Reeshis face, as he walks over and picks Rat up by the tights and rolls him into the ring. Reeshi soon follows and hooks the leg, but Rat kicks out before the count of three! Reeshi stares a hole into the referee, as he now picks Rat Bastard up to his two feet, and lifts him onto his shoulders once again! Reeshi begins to walk with Rat still on his shoulders, but when he gets into the center he slips on the XHF championship that Rat threw into the ring! Reeshi immediately sits up, and looks at the XHF Championship he just tripped over. Reeshi shakes his head in pure anger and hatred, as he drops the XHF Championship and picks Rat Bastard up. Reeshi shakes Rat screaming at him, but then sets him to the side hooking both arms. Reeshi looks around at the arena with pure fury in his face, and then lifts Rat up and connects with the Pain Killer onto the XHF Championship! Rats face is buried into the gold, as Reeshi sits up and looks around the arena. Reeshi turns Rat to his back and cockily covers him, 1-2-kick out!*
Cole: Reeshi was too cocky!
CH: Damn, he must be wondering what its going to take Rat down.
King: Hes going to have to kill Rat.
*Reeshi pounds the mat in anger, and then stands up into the face of the referee. Reeshi gets the referee into a corner and begins yelling at him, as the referee is trying to get away from Reeshi. Behind Reeshi Rat Bastard is climbing up to his feet, bloody from Pain Killer onto the XHF Championship moments ago. Rat is all the way to his feet and looks down and picks up the XHF World Heavyweight Championship, and then looks at Reeshi. Rat pulls the bullrope, causing Reeshi to turn around and be pulled to Rat, who lifts up the XHF Championship into Reeshis face! Reeshi hits the mat hard from that shot, as Rat Bastard suddenly falls to the floor. The referee starts a ten count, as both men are down. 1-nobody moves. 2-nobody moves once again. 3-both men are still down. 4-no movement from either man. 5-Rat Bastard is the first one to move, but he is just turning himself. 6-Rat Bastard is on his stomach and is pushing himself up, as Reeshi slowly sits up. 7-Rat pushes himself to his feet, as Reeshi grabs the ropes near him to pull himself. By the count of eight both men get to their feet, and once Reeshi turns to Rat he throws a right hand. Rat doesnt fall down, as he throws a right hand to Reeshi, and then Reeshi gives Rat another one. The two trade punches, until Reeshi lifts a knee up into the stomach of Rat Bastard. Reeshi lifts Rat onto his shoulders and runs to the corner, driving Rats back into the corner. Reeshi doesnt let go of Rat, as he lifts him up to the top rope. Reeshi punches Rat in the stomach, and then begins to climb up the turnbuckle, facing Rat. Reeshi applies a front facelock to Rat Bastard, and then places Rats arm behind his neck. Reeshi climbs up to the top going for a superplex, but Rat doesnt move. Reeshi tries once again, but Rat begins punching Reeshi in the ribs. Rat gets out of the front facelock and pushes Reeshi off, sending him into the center of the ring! Rat Bastard stands on the top rope and looks at Reeshi, and then jumps off with the Drop Of 1000 Bastards!*
Cole: Drop Of 1000 Bastards!
CH: Thats one wicked move.
*Rat refuses to make the cover, as he turns Reeshi to his stomach and places his bad arm between his legs and ties the bullrope around Reeshis neck with a version of the Rat Trap! Reeshi tries to gasp for air, but Rat just pulls back on the move harder. Reeshi tries hard to get the bullrope off his neck, but Rat just pulls harder. Reeshi is slowly fading and Rat knows it, as he pulls back on the move. Reeshi is complete knocked out, as the referee calls for the bell awarding the match to Rat Bastard!*
Winner by knock out and still XHF World Heavyweight Champion: Rat Bastard
Cole: Rat just knocked out Reeshi!
*Rat finally release the bullrope, as Reeshi falls to the mat unconscious. Rat Bastard sits up and the referee hands him the XHF Championship, and then calls for medics to check on Reeshi. Rat Bastard stands up and holds the XHF Championship in the air, as Overheated comes to an end.*
