Post by Mongo the Destroyer on Sept 4, 2017 0:34:31 GMT -5
*The show opens in a makeshift office for Mongo the Destroyer in the back of the arena. He sits at his desk in his wheelchair holding a pen, staring at something yet unseen. The camera then cuts to behind Mongo, showing that he is staring at the door of the office, the frame of which contains CR standing, his mask smiling at Mongo*
I knew youd be here, thats why I brought this
*Mongo opens a drawer and produces a contract with a slight rip at the top.*
So whats it going to be CR, where do you stand?
*CR goes to move at Mongo, but Mongo quickly rips the contract a little more*
Dont move, dont come in here. You know what you have to do if you want this. If its that important to you. If all of this is important to you.
*CR takes in a deep breath, then quickly turns and leaves the office as Mongo puts down the piece of paper as we turn to Retribution!*
*BOOM! The opening intro goes off as pyros scatter across the entire Tokyo Dome as fans are cheering and going wild as the house lights finally turn on as the camera goes all around the arena, checking out the cool signs, the people, and most possibly some of the ladies...that's how we roll.
Cole: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tokyo Dome, for XHF Retribution!!
King: And boy do we have a hell of a show for you tonight! The Tag Team Championships on the line, the Junior Heavyweight, the European, the United States, the X*Crown and even the XHF Championship!
Cole: and what a spectacle some of those matches are shaping up to be, Venom versus Shiyen, Hardaway vs Price, The Ace versus Scorpion and let's not forget Reckless Jack versus Spike Kane!
King: And some amazing non-title matches too, let's not forget the Shoot match between MGK and Doc, and the intense Buried Alive match between Charlie Velez and Hardcore Harry!
"Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce fills the darkened arena with a crazy ass 20 second intro. After said 20 seconds, strobe lights go nuts as the crowd watches along. When the vocals kick in, Alex Adams and Eric Sanderson appear on the stage, running down to the ring. They jump through the ropes and gets up to their feet. Alex hops to the top rope and makes some hand gestures to get the crowd pumped up for the up coming match. Eric does the same on the other side of the ring. Afterwards, they backflips onto their feet and pace around the ring waiting to the match to start.
Cole: Looks like we're ready for our opening match, Ryan and Christopher Velez, the New Deal, part of Charlie Velez's Revival against the XHF Champions best friends Eric Sanderson and Alex Adams, Uncultured Youth!
King: And to think this all started out over a sandwich.
The New Deal (Ryan and Christopher Velez) vs. Uncultured Youth (Alex Adams and Eric Sanderson)
Sanderson and Adams talk amongst themselves about who will go in first. Ryan looks to Chris and Chris climbs out, obviously Chris is going first. Adams decides to go in first and Sanderson steps outside onto the apron. Adams and Ryan circle each other before moving in for the grapple. They lock up and begin a test of strength. Ryan begins to win, but then Adams begins to puch backwards, forcing Ryan almost to his knee, before Ryan delivers a swift kick to hte knee, forcing Adams onto one knee. Ryan then delivers a double axe handle to Adams' head . Adams goes down and Ryan quickly bounces off the rope and delivers an elbow drop to Adams. Ryan covers....1...-kick out!
Cole: And the early pin attempt didn't work there.
King: when do they ever Cole?
Ryan begins to stomp on Adams, but Sanderson explodes from his corner and unleashes a flurry of punches on Ryan, sending him over the ropes as Chris steps in, Sanderson moves towards Chris, but Chris drops to the floor and rolls out of the ring, collecting himself, with Ryan.
Cole: Damn, Eric Sanderson showing he's learning from the XHF Champion!
King: Man, he really wanted that sandwich...
The ref get's Sanderson back to his corner and then begins the count. 1.....2..........3..........4..........5.........6-Ryan slides back in and as Chris climbs the apron, Ryan tags him in. Chris looks a little shocked but gets into the ring and charges at Adams, he swings for Adams, but Adams blocks and returns with an uppercut to Chris. Adams throws Christopher Velez off the ropes and nails a spinebuster on the rebound! Adams moves to his corner and tags in Sanderson.
King: Uncultured Youth are definatly taking it to the New Deal.
Cole: You can say that again King......dont!
Sanderson charges in towards Chris, taking him down with a vicious clothesline! Chris gets up quickly and Sanderson is right there waiting for him. A few right hands to Chris, sends him back into the ropes. Sanderson drags Chris back up and whips Chris off the ropes on the return, Sanderson makes due with the atomic drop! Chris jumping around holding his "area" and Sanderson locks his wrists around Chris connecting with a release German Suplex that left Chris folded up like an accordion before rolling through onto his stomach.
Cole: I'm so impressed here...
King: Bah, it's part of the New Deals approach, trust me.
Chris cralws to his corner and just about tags Ryan. Ryan rushes in and takes Sanderson down, Sanderson gets up right away and charges. Ryan clotheslines again, but Sanderson ducks and nails a neckbreaker on Ryan. Chris has rolled out of the ring and Sanderson now is punching Ryan in the face.
King: ...I hope...
Ryan manages to push Sanderson off him and clambers to his feet, as does Sanderson. Sanderson tags in Adams and Ryan charges, Adams ducks down and lifts Ryan onto his shoulders, executing a death valley driver!! Adams covers. 1........2....-Chris dives on Adams to break the hold. Sanderson climbs in and a fist fight with him and Chris ensues. Sanderson and Chris brawl to the outside as Ryan stalks Adams, Ryan has taken the pad off a turnbuckle and he whips Reesh into it. He then slams Adams's head off the turnbuckle and on the rebound ducks down and rolls Adams up.....1.......2....-Sanderson pulls Ryan outside the ring!
Cole: Things are getting out of control here!
King: I love it!!
Chris clubs Sandersons back and the Chris and Ryan begin to pummel on Sanderson. Before Adams grabs Ryan by the hair, the ref begins his count, but Ryan pulls Adams down who bounces throat first off the ropes. Chris whips Sanderson into the steps Ryan slides into the ring and stalks Adams. The crowd are on their feet. Chris slides into the ring too and climbs the turnbuckle. Adams turns around and Ryan lifts him up setting him up for the verterbreaker, Christopher jumps...THE GREAT DEPRESSION!!
Cole: Oh my fucking god!
King: Sweet mary mother of god!
Cole: Shit o bugger, arsehole!
King: what?
Cole: Nevermind...
Ryan covers......one......two....three!!!
Winners: The New Deal, Ryan and Christopher Velez.
We go backstage to see Tara sitting on the couch inside Spike Kanes locker room, just working on a sudoku puzzle of the newspaper. Spike is just settling into his locker room, getting his wrestling attire prepared to get ready for the match against Reckless Jack this evening. Tara had her head laid down on the armrest of the couch sighing with a little bit of boredom since Spike was just so focused with this match. It was as if he had no time for her this night.
: "Tonights your big night"
She said to try and break the silence, but Spike simply just nodded his head a little bit. He had already gone to the VCR to pop in a tape of all of Reckless Jacks recent matches, including the triple threat that Tara had participated in a couple weeks ago. Her eyes trailed down towards the television for just a moment before releasing a sigh of frustration and looking away this is what caught Spikes attention, and he paused the tape to look back at Tara for a moment.
: "Whats the matter?"
: "That match. It was my big opportunity, and I blew it! And now youre just still watching all these matches of Reckless Jacks you need a break, Spike. Just relax. Your match will come up tonight, and youll do fine and walk out with the XHF Championship."
Spike shook his head a little bit, now just frustrated with the words that Tara had said. He had sensed jealousy out of her because of the fact that she wasnt in this main event. She wasnt the one able to fight for the XHF Championship, and didnt even have a match for this night. Thats what also had her frustrated.
: "We have a wedding to plan, still."
Spike stood completely motionless with the television controller in hand, steadying his finger over the play button but he had not pressed it again since pausing it, just trying to think of what Tara was saying. It was a choice that he was now having to make to listen to Taras advice and just relax, or to keep focused for the match that he had this night.
: "Spike, I wouldnt do anything to jeopardize your chances of winning the XHF Championship. Im proud that youre getting this shot to take it again but you just havent been sleeping right or anything. So we can just lay here if youd like or we can get things done that we need to get done. Besides wrestling."
He was still confused at this point, struggling with his own mind on what to choose. Finally, he sat the remote control down and began walking for the couch, while Tara sat the puzzle down. Spike laid down on the couch a little lower then where Tara sat, putting his head to where her heart was, as she wrapped her arms around his head and just held him close allowing her hands to wander through the hair of Spikes.
: "You just need to rest, Spike."
She said in a gentle tone, while Spikes eyes closed for a moment. But it was exactly that only for a moment before he got his eyes opened, and pulled away from Tara.
: "I have to watch these matches, babe."
He said in a more serious tone now. Tara looked disappointed about the decision that Spike had made, so got up from the couch and left the room so Spike could continue watching these matches of Reckless Jack in peace.
This appears on the Tron right before 'Riot Girl' by Zebrahead starts blaring from the arena speakers. The fans start to cheer loudly, craning their necks to look at the top of the stage.
'She's standing on the front line, says she wants to light the fuse, says that this is my life, it should be my right to choose'
Dru stands at the top of the ramp, a slight mist swirling around her feet.
'She only wants to burn it down, She wants to see them go, she don't need them, Send it right back into the ground. Says it a violent world, a violent world, leave you with all the bodies around'
She's wearing a loose pair of pants that hang low, revealing the sides of a thong and a cropped top that settles under her bust. a pair of sunglasses rest's a top her head.
'she's no stepping stone, she'll cut you to the bone, you're better off alone, when she's hot, she's hot'.
She smirks and takes off at a dead sprint down to the ring, hopping nimbly onto the apron.
'She's no minor threat, she's no minor threat, she's been bruised and bled'
She turns around to face the ramp and leans backward over the top rope, landing in the ring in a horizontal split.
'She no minor threat, she's no minor threat, she says love is dead, she's no minor threat when she's seeing red, she's my riot girl'
Purple pyrotechnics shoot out of all four turnbuckles, crossing the air and she rolls backward and to her feet, throwing devil horns in the air. She climbs onto the turnbuckles, tossing her hair about and rocking out the devil horns, revving up the crowd.
Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie starts to play as the house lights dim and the arena is flooded with pink strobing lights. Slowly the black satin curtian is pulled back and out steps Joanie Lee wearing a black sports bra-type blouse with matching shorts. She looks at the crowd and waits at the top of the ramp absorbing their energy both postive and negative> She then slowly walks down the ramp stopping occassionally looking at the crowd> As she reaches the ring area she smirks looking at the ref and then slides in head first under the ring ropes. She gets up and walks around the ring with a smug look on her face and confident eyes.
"Ignite You" Ladder Match for the XHF Hardcore Championship
Dru Diamond vs. Joanie Lee (c)
The two ladies walk towards each other and Dru points up to the sky, pointing at the gasoline can hanging above the ring. Joanie looks up also, but Dru takes advantage with a kick to the stomach and continues on the attack. Diamond sends a hard kick to the leg of Joanie before grabbing her arm and irish whipping her into the ropes. When Joanie bounces back Dru is able to grab her and bring her down with a hip toss, causing Joanie to hit the mat hard, but climb up to her feet immediately. When she turns to attack Dru she is knocked down with a dropkick, and when she gets back up she once again gets knocked down with a dropkick by Dru Diamond. Joanie Lee rolls out of the ring instead of climbing up, and is irate as Dru Diamond begins timing something. Joanie argues with a fan in the front row and goes to slap him and does, but when she turns around shes unexpectedly met with a suicide dive from Dru Diamond! Dru Diamond stays on the attack and begins pummeling Joanie with hard right hands before she climbs off and goes walking towards the ladder that is set next to the ring. She folds the ladder and lies it at an angle against the ring steps and then grabs Joanie and placing her on top of the ladder. Dru sends a hard fist into the stomach of Joanie before taking a few steps back and then climbing up the railing. Dru begins to balance herself and when she has perfect balance, she begins jogging on the railing. When she approaches Joanie she leaps off going for a splash, but Joanie Lee moves right out of the way, causing Dru to land hard into the ladder! Dru almost literally bounces off the ladder and onto the floor, as Joanie begins to climb up to her feet. Being much larger and stronger then Dru, Joanie is able to lift Dru up by her hair and then over her head for a press slam. Joanie walks closer to the angled ladder and then pushes Dru up and moves back, sending Dru right into the ladder once more!
Dru Diamond lays on top of the ladder and Joanie Lee lifts her up and rolls her under the bottom rope, and then grabs the ladder and slides it into the ring. Joanie doesnt into the ring though, instead she goes under it and grabs a steel chair, and also slides that in. Joanie follows, as Dru begins crawling to the corner and Joanie climbs up to her feet. She grabs the chair as she walks towards Dru and just tosses the chair hard into Drus back; Dru screaming in pain. The chair bounces off the back of Dru, as she lays down on the mat. Joanie walks over to the ladder and grabs it, before walking over to a corner and setting it in between the top and middle turnbuckle. Joanie begins to walk over towards Dru, but Dru uses her speed to get up and send a dropkick into the knee of Joanie. Joanie falls face first into the mat, as Dru quickly climbs up and jogs over the chair that lies on the mat and picks it up. Dru begins sending hard chair shots to the back of Joanie, each shot harder then the next and then sets it up in the corner, across from the ladder against the turnbuckle. She walks over and grabs Joanie before dragging her and lifting her up, sitting her onto the chair. Dru sends a hard chop into the chest of Joanie before walking across and grabbing the ladder. Dru is able to hold it up on her shoulder and then runs full force towards Joanie, driving the top of the ladder head first into Joanie Lee! Joanie head hits the top turnbuckle and she seems to be knocked out cold, allowing Dru to set the ladder at an angle against the stomach of Joanie. Dru takes a few steps back and walks over to the other side of the ring, before running towards Joanie, walking up the ladder and leaping off, sending a front dropkick into the face of Joanie Lee!
Joanie falls off the chair, as Dru crawls over and covers Joanie. The referee execute the three count; 1-2-Joanie just gets a shoulder up.Dru mounts Joanie and sends fists into her face before climbing all the way up to her feet and grabbing the ladder. Dru sets the ladder up in the center of the ring, and then walking over to Joanie and lifting her up. Dru shoves Joanie into the standing ladder and then sends hard, vicious, chops into the chest of Joanie. When it looks like Joanie is out of breath, Dru runs over to the ropes and leaps onto the second one and then off going for a twisting cross body block, but Joanie is able to catch her while in midair! Using her strength Joanie walks forward with Dru still in her arms and then falls back, tossing Dru Diamond into the standing ladder with a fall away slam! With the impact the ladder falls over with Dru on top of it, and instead of going to take advantage, Joanie rolls to the outside. She crawls towards the apron and lifts it up and begins taking objects out from under it. She takes another chair and slides it into the ring, and follows it up by sliding in a table. Joanie follows after the table, and then pushes it to the side as she walks over to Dru. She lifts drop up for a scoop slam and slams her on top of the ladder, and then grabs the chair that was brought in earlier and places it on top of Dru. She then grabs the chair she just brought into the ring, and walks over to the nearest corner to Dru, and begins to climb up the turnbuckle, back facing the crowd. She gets up to the second turnbuckle and then pushes herself off and places the chair under her, driving it into Dru Diamond under her!
Dru slides off the ladder after the impact of Joanie leaping off, and Joanie quickly goes for the cover. The referee counts; 1-2-Dru just gets a shoulder up! Joanie doesnt waste time arguing the call, she continues to send hard punches into the face of Dru. Each punch bruises the face of Dru, and Joanie just lets go over her, and grabs the table. She sets it up in the center of the ring, and walks over and grabs the ladder and tosses it out of the way as she grabs Dru Diamond. She lifts her up and has her in a front facelock, punching her in the stomach before throwing her arm behind her neck. Joanie grabs the pants of Dru and lifts her up, and holds her there for a stalling suplex. Joanie begins to balance herself perfectly, but Dru Diamond is able to wiggle out of the hold and land behind Joanie and sends a dropkick to Joanies back, causing Joanie to fall over and hit her head against the set up table! Joanie hits the table and then falls down as Dru crawls over and grabs a chair thats laying near her. Both women begin to climb up to their feet, and when Joanie turns her attention towards Dru, Dru throws the chair at her which she catches, and at that instant Dru leaps up and sends a dropkick into the chair, driving it into Joanies head! Joanie falls down on the mat and Dru makes the cover; 1-2-Joanie just kicks out!
Dru hits the mat and then climbs up, grabbing Joanie on the way, and applies a front facelock. Dru, with her free hand taunting to the crowd. Dru uses her leg strength to push herself up into the air and going for the tornado DDT, but Joanie holds her up there and runs towards the ropes, and sets Dru on the apron. Dru lets go of the front facelock and the two women begin sending blows to one another, but Dru takes advantage as she leaps up, and sends a kick to the back of Joanies head! Joanie falls onto the top rope and stumbles back and falls to one knee, as Dru holds onto the bottom rope, staying on the apron. Dru gains back her composure and stands onto the apron, as Joanie finally gets up to her feet, disorientated by the kick. Dru grabs onto the top rope and springboards on top of it and goes for a springboard hurricanrana onto Joanie, but Joanie catches her! Joanie holds Dru up in position and then runs towards the table, and sends Dru through it!
Joanie gets on her knees and looks at the lifeless Dru Diamond, and instead of going for the pinfall, Joanie gets up and grabs the ladder, and places it on the mat in the center of the ring. Joanie walks over and grabs Dru Diamond, and lifts her limp body and places it on the top turnbuckle. Joanie turns her back to Dru and grabs her arms and lifts her up, and walks into the center of the ring, before driving her front first into the ladder with the Dead End! Dru Diamond lays on the mat lifeless, and again Joanie doesnt go for the pin, instead she goes after the belt of Dru and takes it off. Joanie snaps the belt before whipping Dru with it; each shot echoing out throughout the whole arena. Dru is barely conscious, showing some form of life. Joanie grabs Drus arm and places it in between her legs setting up for the Broken, but instead of using her arms to lock around the neck of Dru, she uses her belt! Joanie pulls back and almost immediately Dru begins pounding the mat in submission, enabling Joanie to climb the ladder and obtain the gasoline. It would seem that Joanie would let go of the submission hold, but she refuses! Dru uses her free hand to try and get free, but Joanie continues to pull back, hard enough that Dru Diamonds face is turning blue. After a few moments Drus hand just falls down and shes lifeless, the only thing holding her head up is Joanie. Joanie gets go and Dru just falls face first into the mat, as Joanie gets up and begins rolling Dru to the outside until she hits the padding below. Joanie just tosses the belt onto the fallen Dru before walking over and grabbing the ladder. She sets it up under the can of gasoline, and begins to climb up it, and when she makes it all the way to the top, she grabs it, and just leaps down to the mat.
She rolls out of the ring and walks over to Dru Diamond, still gasping for air. Dru reaches for the railing to try to help her up to her feet, but before she can reach it Joanie swings and cracks Dru over the head with the can of gasoline! Dru just falls flat on the mat, and Joanie opens the can of gasoline, and pours it all over her body until its completely empty and then throws the can on top of Dru. Joanie reaches into her back pocket to pull out some matches and lights it, drops it and takes a few steps back, as she watches Dru Diamond ignite in flames!
Winner and STILL XHF Hardcore Champion: Joanie Lee
Once Dru is completely in flames the ring crew puts her out with fire extinguishers as Joanie Lee is handed the Hardcore championship. The smoke from the extinguishers cover the whole floor area, as Joanie Lee stands there looking at a burnt up Dru Diamond; the determination on her face showing her dominance this night.
The scene moves to the back, with Red Fusion arriving to the arena in a limo. We know it's him because the window is downand we can see him. Red opens the door and steps out, wearing a nice italian leather jacket, and a brand new pair of oakley sunglasses. Red takes them off and walks up to the doors of the building and goes in. Once in, he starts walking down the corridor and goes through a set of double doors. He keeps walking and passes a table full of water bottles. Red grabs one, opens it, takes a swig and keeps walking. Red goes to open the next set of double doors, but when he opens, Joanie Lee walks right through and past Red. Red holds the door open, smiling as she walks by, she stops, turns back at him, smiles and keeps on walking. Red chuckles for a second before continuing on.
The lights go out in the arena and then the intro for Boy Hits Car's "The Rebirth" play's over the P.A. system. The ramp way lights up on each side with traditional Japanese paper lamps.
Rebirth (whispered)
Immerse yourself
in this moment
Think about our rebirth
As the guitars kick the paper lamps explode into fireworks shooting upwards in an angle towards the ring. A red hue takes over the arena
Lets get connected
Lets get united
Lets run away out of these vows of these men of structure
Whoa I wanna get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
A light shines down on the center of the ramp and there is Shiyen on both knee's as if he's praying, he then makes the motion of seppuku across his stomach up to his chest and pounds his heart and hops to his feet as the house lights come back and up He flips a traditional robe off his shoulders.
Oh oh
Here comes the rebirth
Shiyen makes his way down the ramp his hands out to each side letting the fans slap his hands as he walks by, he's in his wrestling gear of black baggy pant's with Shi written down his right leg and Yen written down his left in dark red, his pants are tucked into his black boots with dark red kick pads.
Pushing outwards
From our swollen hearts
It's time to fuse ourselves when love set free loves burning spirit
Cuz everyone seems
Cold and emotionless
I can smell the hunger, taste the angry air who resurrects this
Shiyen stands at the ring for a second before leaping between the bottom and middle rope, rolling into the ring and stopping in the center on one knee he looks around the arena and then does the seppuku motion once more before hoping to his feet
You'll find a place where
You'll beholden to no one
Except yourself so let them come and see ya standing naked
Full of passion
Flowing inside out
Into creation becoming one with present
So go get connected
Unshackled essence
Lets fuck away morality, you might be independent
Oh I wanna get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
Oh oh
Immerse yourself in this moment
Think about our rebirth
Shiyen goes to his corner cracking his knuckles and rolling his neck to crack it while awaiting Venom.
Cole: Theres our challenger and possibly the next Junior Heavyweight Champion!
The lights of the XHF arena dim as the voice of Puff Daddy overtakes the PA system followed by the voice of Nas.
The Main Event has returned...
Its been a long time
been a long time comin'
Looks like the death of me now
But you know, there's no turning back now.
This is what makes me.
This is what I am.
As the chorus hits the stage fills up with fog and everyone in the arena rise to there feet in anticipation. Green lights shine through the fog back and forth until they stop on the entrance way and a man known as a legend emerges from the entrance way. Some of the crowd pops at the sight of a true legend and others boo for the pure hatred of the man as Venom walks through the fog. He stops at the top of the ramp and looks around at the screaming crowd. His trench vest is long down to his knees covering up most of the XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship around his waist. He wears his traditional black tights with a V on each side in white, a black head band low over his eyes, black tape on his wrists, and tops it off with sweet ass pick pads and long black boots with Vs on each side of them as well. He grins cockily and begins to walk down the ramp as the first verse hits.
Don't hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy
Ice that I wear, clothes that I try
Close your eyes, picture me rollin,
sixes, money foldin
Bitches honeys that swollen
the riches, nas get in ya
most critically acclaimed pulitzer prize winner
best storyteller thug narrator my style's greater
model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters
commentators bring aside try watchin my paper
almost a decade quite impressive
most of the best is in the essence
for this rap shit that I stand for
expanding more to the big screen
bill gates dreams
but it seems youd rather see me in jail
with state dreams
want me off the scene fast
but good things last
like your favorite m.c. still makin' some mean cash
first rapper to bring a platinum plaque
back to the projects
but you still wanna hate, be my guest
I suggest
Venom stands at the side of the ring as the first verse ends and he mouths Hate me to the fans shouting at him at ring side and then leaps effortlessly onto the side of the ring and then up over the ropes into the ring. Venom then spins around in the center of the ring and throws his arms out as he does posing for the crowd. Venom then heads to the corner as the music fades.
King: Dont hate him Cole. Just dont.
XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship Match
Shiyen vs. "The Main Event" Venom
The referee takes the title from Venom and shows it to both men. He then raises it to the crowd before he hands it to the timekeeper and the bell is rung. Neither men even look at the belt, only at each other. Shiyen immediately charges at Venom, who drops to the mat and brings Shiyen down with a drop toe hold. Venom stays on the mat and rolls around to grab Shiyens head in a front headlock. Shiyen uses his strength to get to his knees and Venom gets to his feet, punches Shiyen a couple of times on the back of the head then releases his hold and runs off the ropes and back into Shiyen with a clothesline. Shiyen gets straight back up and Venom aims a stiff kick to Shiyens gut, but Shiyen catches his leg and kicks Venoms standing leg away from him. Venom falls to the mat and Shiyen tries a quick cover. One-Kickout!
Cole: Some fast paced action here.
King: As if hes going to pin him that quick.
Shiyen gets to his feet and grabs Venom with him, but Venom tries to fight back with a hard right hand. However, Shiyen ducks underneath it grabs Venoms waist, lifts him high into the air and drops him with a German Suplex! He covers again. One-Kickout! Shiyen turns on top of Venom and mounts him in MMA style, then begins hammering away at his face. Venom keeps a tight guard with his hands over his face to avoid as much contact as he can, until suddenly Shiyen stops and gives Venom a moment to push Shiyen off of him. Venom gets to his feet and Shiyen whips him off the ropes, but Venom comes back with a spinning wheel kick! Venom covers this time. One-Kickout! Venom gets up and waits for Shiyen to rise, then throws him into the corner. He follows him over and delivers a few stiff chops to Shiyens chest which echo around the arena. Venom then knees Shiyen in the gut and lifts him to the top turnbuckle. Venom climbs to the top too and Shiyen tries to punch Venom as both men hold on to each other. Venom blocks and grabs Shiyens head under his arm, then throws Shiyens arm over his own head. Venom shouts into the crowd who boo furiously, and then Venom lifts Shiyen vertically above his head and leaps off the turnbuckle with an awesome superplex!
Cole: Thats the Venom of old!
King: Wooo come on Venom you son of a -
Cole: What the hell?
King: Sorry, it doesnt matter.
Shiyen grabs his back in pain on the mat as Venom gets back up and once again climbs the top turnbuckle. He stands up, keeping his balance until Shiyen gets back up himself. As he turns around to the corner where Venom is, Venom jumps through the air and connects with a missile dropkick! He hooks the leg of Shiyen, One-Two-Kickout! Venom gets back to his feet and looks down at Shiyen who lays on the mat. Venom runs towards the ropes and jumps to the top one, bounces off it and lands on top of Shiyen with a springboard shooting star press! Venom covers Shiyen again: One-Two-Shiyen kicks out again!
King: That was a close one.
Cole: That it was king, great athleticism from our Junior Heavyweight Champion.
Venom gets up and shakes his head at the referee, giving Shiyen time to get to his feet. Shiyen rises and punches an un-expecting Venom in the back of the head, trying to gain some momentum for himself. Venom turns around to face Shiyen and Shiyen kicks him at the side of his knee, forcing Venom to drop to one knee. Shiyen runs off the ropes and dropkicks the kneeling Venom in the face, with Venom falling to the mat from the move. Shiyen turns Venom onto his front and grabs his arm behind his back into a hammerlock, lying on top of Venoms back himself for leverage. Venom shouts in pain a little but stops every time the referee approaches to check on him. Venom uses his other arm to stretch out and grab the ropes, and the referee begins his five count to break the hold. One, Two, Three, Four, Shiyen lets go of Venoms arm and gets to his feet. He stomps away on the back of Venoms head, gradually wearing Venom down bit by bit. He grabs the hair of Venom and lifts him to his feet, but Venom nails Shiyen in the gut and runs off the ropes. However, as he runs back towards him, Shiyen leaps into the air and takes Venom down with a hurricanrana, then keeps his legs around the head of Venom while they land on the mat and positions himself to squeeze tight in a head scissors.
Cole: This is great work from Shiyen, moving from move to move.
Venoms face goes red in the hold as he uses his hands to try and loosen the grip of Shiyens legs. Shiyen eventually lets go himself and gets to his feet, smiling at himself as Venom seems to have lost a lot of air and looks a little worn-down. Shiyen picks Venom to his feet once more and whips him into the ropes, bending over for a back body drop. As Venom reaches Shiyen again, he doesnt get back body dropped, instead he stops just in front of Shiyen and kicks him in the face! Shiyen staggers back on to the ropes and Venom chops him in the chest. Venom then moves back away from Shiyen to regain some of his energy as the crowd boo the fact that he is back on his feet, and Venom then runs towards Shiyen with a Yakuza Kick! However, Shiyen ducks underneath it and lifts Venom over the top rope and hard to the mat below!
Cole: Good reactions from Shiyen there, who has shown he knows how to wear out an opponent in no time.
King: Ok, I admit it, I only put money on Venom because the odds were good.
Shiyen realizes that he has the upper hand now and climbs to the top rope as Venom gets up quickly on the outside to ensure that he isnt going to be beaten by a referees count. However, as he does, Shiyen dives towards him with a corkscrew dive off the top rope! Both men crash to the mat as the Tokyo crowd rise to their feat. The referee begins the 10 count from the ring. One. Two. Three. Shiyen gets to his rolls inside the ring and then back out to break the count. Venom is still down and Shiyen pulls him up, with Venom sagging on him. Shiyen manages to stand Venom up and grabs his waist, then lifts him into the air and down onto the steel steps with a release German suplex! Venom hits the steps back first with a thud and lets out a groan as Shiyen is quick to get him back into the ring. Shiyen rolls him into the ring and follows him in. He thinks about the pin for a second and then changes his mind, throwing a dazed Venom into the corner. Venom is lifeless as Shiyen goes to the other corner, then runs at Venom and connects with Flying Death! The crowd are on their feet as Venom collapses to the mat, cheering at one of their most hated superstars about to lose his Junior Heavyweight Championship. Shiyen wastes no time in hooking the near leg of Venom! One! Two! Thr-No! Venom gets his far leg on the bottom rope!
Cole: I dont believe it, Venoms ring awareness is second to none.
King: That should have been the end there Cole, but never count out Venom.
Cole: Shiyen just failed to drag him away from the ropes after hitting that move in the corner.
Shiyen sits up and smacks his fist off of the ring with anger. The crowd are silenced by Venom getting his foot on the rope, and Shiyen grabs him to his feet again in anger. Venom still doesnt appear to know where he is and Shiyen lifts him off his feet in a spine buster position, but Venom manages to get his arm around the head of Shiyen and reverse it into a DDT! Both men lie on the mat breathing heavy as Venom throws his hand over Shiyen, using his reserves. The referee counts. One, Two, Shiyen kicks out! Venom grabs the ropes and uses them to help lift himself back to his feet as Shiyen begins to stir also. Venom uses all he has to spear Shiyen in to the corner, then begins punching away on Shiyens face. Venom backs off for a moment to taunt the crowd, and Shiyen sees his chance to go for another hurricanrana. He gets his legs on top of Venoms shoulders, but Venom blocks the move and places his legs in front of Shiyens arms! Venom then jumps into the air and nails Shiyen with the Casualty To Society! He turns over on the mat, keeping his legs over Shiyens arms with Shiyens legs still over his shoulders. The referee makes sure Shiyens shoulders are on the mat and counts. One! Two! Three!
Winner and STILL Junior Heavyweight Champion: Venom
Cole: A superb turnaround there as Venom sees off the newest member of NWS to retain his title!
King: I knew he would win god damnit.
The camera moves to the back parking lot of the arena, where admist some of the fans and some random people walking, in rolls a Chevy Trailblazer as the people stop for a second to see who's walking out of the car, as the door opens and out walks none other than the current United States champion, Kevin Hardaway. Dressed in camo shorts, a regular black t-shirt and beanie, he walks out to a mixed reaction from the fans inside the building. Kevin goes to the back of the SUV and opens the door where he grabs out the United States title...and a large black bag with something inside of it although we're not 100% sure of what it is. He puts the title over his shoulder and carries the large bag into the arena.
Cole: There's Kevin Hardaway. Can he prove to our country that the US is better in deathmatches?
King: I have no clue, but that match is sure gonna be violent as all hell.
Suddenly, the XtremeTron goes black and the following words appear on screen:
The Old School Doc vs. The New Breed MGK
Shoot Match
No Stipulations, No Gimmicks, No Interferences
Then, the screen flashes and we cut to a clip from two years ago
Velez gathers up enough to get back up. He hobbles over and sets the ladder in the middle of the ring, and he gets onto the first step. MGK walks over on the side opposite of Velez and begins climbing the ladder. Doc makes his way out of the corner and begins climbing on another side of the ladder. All three men move slowly to the top of the ladder. They begin throwing punches at each other. The first one to go is Velez, but he falls and catches himself half way down the ladder. He holds on tight and catches his breath. MGK then scoops up Doc ontop of the ladder and hits the Defamation! Both men crash right through the mat and under the ring.
The screen goes black once more and we cut back to ringside.
*The crowd gets to their feet as Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" kicks up and the youngest Destroyer, Congo the Destroyer walks out with a big smile on his face. He waves to the crowd as he slowly walks to the ring. Congo then reaches the ring steps and climbs them with almost as much pride as he once did as the X*Crown Champion. As he does so, Joey Hawke comes running down the ramp, slides into the ring, and holds the ropes for the young Destroyer. Congo looks confused at seeing Joey at his side again, but gets in the ring any way.*
Cole: Well here is the ring return of Congo, here to help out daddy!
King: But it's against Mr. X. Let's just hope he doesn't have too much Mr. X.
Seven characters appear on the Xtreme-Tron cycling through numbers. They slowly stop on 6655321 as these words are said over the P.A.:
You're sentenced to 6 months without perole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge, I stand alone.
Two red pyros go off on stage forming an X. "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed in an X formation in front of his face. He slowly spreads his arms apart. He then walks down to the ring and climbs in. He tightens his gloves and awaits the match to start.
Cole: Well here is perhaps one of the most sadistic men in XHF history, Mr. X.
King: And he's a man who has attacked many to get to Mongo. Unfortunately, he has to go against one more.
Congo The Destroyer vs. Mr. X
We find Congo and Mr. X in the ring, glaring at each other. Joey is at ringside, yelling at Mr. X, who is taking no interest into. Congo smiles, and extends a hand, looking for a hand shake, and offering respect. Mr. X simply smacks the hand out of the way, refusing to give respect in this match. With one swift motion, Mr. X grabs Congo by the neck, and lifts this 300+ pound man into the air, but Congo reverses as he shifts his body weight to the side, and grabs his arm, locking it into a hammerlock. Mr. X struggles a little, and in response, Congo lets go of the arm, instead, he hits Mr. X with a German suplex!
Cole: Well I guess Congo still does have what it takes do handle his own in the ring.
King: Don't judge so soon, Cole. The match has only begun!
Mr. X grunts a little upon compact, and we can see Joey Hawke at ringside, cheering for Mongo's supposed son. Mr. X gets back up, and glares at Congo. Congo steps forward, reaching in for a grapple, but with Mr. X's cunning power and speed, he sends an uppercut that hits Congo in the stomach knocking the wind out of his stomach, forcing him to his knees. Congo tries to get up, but at the same time, Mr. X is backing up into the ropes and bursts forward to slam Congo with a big boot!
Cole: Mr. X is really trying to make his message known.
King: He's a sadistic bastard, Cole. What do you expect?
As X stands there, lauhging at the damage done, he climbs out of the ring, and starts searching under the ring for something. He pulls something up, and its a sledgehammer! X climbs back in the ring, and as the referee turns around he gets in X's face. However, Congo is now up and moves the referee and kicks X in the gut! Mr. X doubles over and the hammer falls to the ground!
Cole: Mr. X was going to use that hammer and batter his opponent!
King: Duh!
Congo clubs the back of Mr. X hard, and X hits the ground! Congo then picks up Mr. X and whips him into the corner. Congo charges and follows up with a body splash onto Mr. X! Congo then picks Mr. X up and sets him up on the top rope, and climbs up right after. Mr. X comes to, and starts to exchange punches with Congo on the top rope! However, Congo gets the upper hand again and hits a huge right hand on Mr. X! Congo picks Mr. X up and sets him up for a huge superplex! AND HITS IT!
Cole: MY GOD! WHAT A MOVE!
The referee starts to count as both men, are not moving. At around 5, Congo starts to roll over and pull himself up, but collapses due to exhaustion. The referee continues the count, and reaches 8, when finally Congo gets up. Shortly after X begins to stir. Both, Congo and Mr. X are back up, staring one another down, seemingly exhausted from the match alread, when suddenly, C.R comes falling out of nowhere and hits a diving spear on Mr. X! Congo backs away, somewhat in horror as the bell rings, after what he has just seen!
Winner: Mr. X via DQ!
C.R. sees Congo creeping up out of the corner of his eye, and super kicks him down! Mr. X is using the ropes to get himself up, and staring directly back at C.R. C.R. sees him and the two start exchanging blows! C.R. knocks Mr. X back with a stiff right hand, and X falls into the ropes! Congo is back up again, shaking the cobwebs out, but C.R. sees this and charges at him, jumps and hits Darkness Falls! C.R. is back up again, and so is Mr. X! C.R. grabs Mr. X and hits The Sentencing!
Cole: I cannot believe what I'm seeing!
King: I can tell you what he's seeing.
Cole: What?
King: THE LIGHT! He finally did what Mongo asked him to do! This is great!
Cole: But where is he going?
As Mr. X and Congo both stir to get up, they both notice C.R. walking up the ramp, pretty much with intent. C.R. is followed by a camera man up the ramp and through the curtain into the backstage area. Backstage, you can faintly hear "Sincerly, Ichabod" playing over the PA. C.R. turns some corners, and heads down a few hallways. He reaches Mongo's office and kicks the door open. As he walks in, Mongo spins around in his chair, with the biggest smile on his face, that anyone has ever seen.
: I'm a man of my word, and I have absolutely no problem signing this! I don't think I could of planned it better myself!
Mongo signs a piece of papers on top of a tiny stack, and then hands it to C.R., who snatches it away.
: Congratulations, you are now officially, under contract of the XHF! Welcome back!
C.R. doesn't say a word, and just stares at Mongo. Mongo starts to chuckle as C.R. continues to stare. Mid-laugh, however, the scene cuts away to....
The Revival locker room. Red Fusion is shown getting pumped for his match against DDK for the European Championship. He is in his ring gear, and also has on his "Revival" t shirt, sleeves ripped off and all. He does a bit of shadow boxing, and starts to loosen up. Red lets out a big sigh before turning and heading out the door, as the scene closes as it goes back to the announce table.
Cole: Why is the camera focusing on Fusion all the damn time?
King: I agree.
*Suddenly... The lights shut off, leaving the crowd shrowded with darkness... The Xtreme Tron is now turned on and we find a message....*
"XHF Will Be Mine."
*As that happens, the dirty fretwork of "Pure Hatred" by Chimaira plays as we find a shadow walking into view with a spotlight on it. The spotlight grows brighter and we now find the image of a man of whom we all hate, Kuroi! The crowd begins booing but Kuroi simply ignores it. He walks down to the ring. On the Xtreme Tron, we find video clips of Kuroi working out, bringing himself to the limit, switching to video clips of him performing finishers on some random XHF Superstars. Some main highlights are: The Kuroi Knockout onto AJ Phoenix, The Death Grip onto MGK in the ECF Doomsday Cage, and The Kuroi Kill to Fury. Of course, there are more but those are the ones most seen. The spotlight still following. Kuroi slides to the ring as the light goes on, and stands in the corner awaiting the match to begin.*
Cole: I have a bad feeling about this match, King.
King: I get a bad feeling everytime I take a look at this guy.
Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe your spit from my face
Wipe these tears from my eyes
The openning riff of "I will be heard" by hatebreed plays, AJ Pheonix steps out onto the stage his long hair wet down his face and eyes
"Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe your spit from my face
Wipe these tears from my eyes
I've got to take my life back
One chance to make it right
I've gotta have my voice be heard
And bring meaning to this life"
AJ starts walking down to the ring wearing his black hooded sleeveless trench coat with a red airbrushed dragon on the back, he gets down to the ring and runs up the steel steps before grabbing the top rope slingshotting over it onto the center of the ring, he flips the hood back and outstretches his arms
"Cause I trusted for nothing
I've been led astray
I've been tried and tested
But i won't accept defeat
Now I've done things I regret
And it's time to reverse the rolls
I just want to make good on
all the promises I have made
I will be
I will be
I will be heard
I will be
I will be heard"
AJ removes his black trenchcoat bouncing up and down on his feet limbering up wearing black short tights with red tribal patterns on each side and black kneepads with black boots and red kickpads, his hands taped up with "fear" written on one wrist in red and "Domination" on the other, as "I WILL BE" is heard in the song the fans chant it in unison
Cole: And heres the former X Crown Champion, AJ Pheonix!
King: Cole, this is going to be a fight. I wouldnt expect a wrestling classic here.
Hell In A Cell Match
"The Flaming Dragon" AJ Phoenix vs. Kuroi
As AJ Pheonix and Kuroi both stand in the center of the ring, face to face, the cell begins to lower around them. Neither man looks away from the other, both staring at each other, clearly with feelings of detest and hate. AJ Pheonix is the first to break the glance, looking from one side of the ring to the other, as the cell lowers around them. Kuroi then looks as well, just as the cell hits the ground. Less than a second later, the bell rings, and Kuroi and AJ look right back to one another, knowing full well that theres no turning back now. AJ nods his head, and steps back to his corner, before bouncing around a bit on his feet. Kuroi on the other hand stays right where he is, his glare never breaking away from AJ. After AJs warmed himself up, he then walks back to the center of the ring where Kuroi is, and without missing a beat, he slaps the monster right across the face. Kuroi turns his head, then looks back to AJ. Glaring. AJ talks some smack like only he can, before slapping Kuroi in the face once more.
Cole: If AJ keeps this up, this will NOT end well.
King: Its not going to end well either way, Cole.
He gets right up in Kurois face, as close as possible, and dares Kuroi to do something, before swinging his hand one last time. This time, Kuroi fires back with a powerful right hand, but AJ ducks it, rises back up, and quickly jabs Kuroi with a fist. Kuroi swings another mighty fist, but AJ ducks again, jumps up, and jabs Kuroi in the jaw once again. Kuroi, clearly getting agitated, launches his knee right into AJs gut, sending the former X Crown Champion hunched into the ropes. Kuroi then slowly walks foreword, and prepares for a strike, but once again, AJ dodges the bullet, before delivering a side kick to the knee of Kuroi. Pheonix does this two more times, switching legs each time, before leaning foreword and slapping Kuroi in the face just once more. Kuroi growls angrily as he leans foreword in pain, but AJ doesnt give him a break, and delivers a front kick to Kurois face just as he bends over. Kuroi stands up straight with force from the kick, but doesnt even pause to shake off the kick before leaping foreword, and finally taking AJs head off with a clothesline.
Cole: Oh my goodness.
King: Now thats a clothesline.
AJ grabs his throat in pain, as thats right where Kurois arm connected. He rolls around a little bit, eventually finding his way to the ring apron, where he hopes to get a breather. Kuroi paces around the ring a little bit, shaking his right arm, perhaps because it actually hurt, hitting AJ so hard. AJ grabs the middle rope on the apron, and climbs to his feet. As he does this, Kuroi realizes that his opponent is getting up, and makes his way towards him. He swings a sharp right hook, which AJ ducks, before launching his shoulder through the middle and top ropes, catching Kuroi right in the gut. Before Kuroi even has time to hunch over, AJ grabs him by the head, and drops his body off the ring apron, hanging Kurois neck over the top rope. Kuroi stumbles back as the fans cheer for the move, but he still doesnt fall down. AJ looks up at him, somewhat surprised that his efforts thus far havent been able to topple the monster. He quickly jumps up onto the apron again, grabs onto the top rope, then launches him up onto the top turnbuckle, before leaping off and catching Kuroi across the back of the neck with a double axe handle. Kuroi falls foreword towards the middle of the ring a little more, though he still hasnt fallen.
Cole: Whats it going to take for AJ to get this guy down?
King: Maybe more than AJ has to offer.
AJ looks on, displeased with Kurois resilience thus far, but doesnt waste any time in continuing his assault. He runs to the middle rope, hopes onto it, uses it to spring himself onto the top rope, bounces off, and catches Kuroi in mid air with a springboard moonsault! Kuroi somehow manages to catch AJ, but the momentum sends him stumbling into the ropes, and he cant hold AJ, as the Flaming Dragon slides out of Kurois grasp, landing on his feet on the outside. Kuroi remains leaning his back into the ropes, breathing, and his face growing red with frustration, because of how quick AJ has been thus far. AJ promptly leans in, and grabs Kuroi by the ankles, trying to pull him to the outside of the ring, but Kuroi quickly yanks one foot away, before swinging it back and connecting on AJs nose. AJ leans away and holds his face in pain, as Kuroi turns around, and steps through the ropes to the ring apron. He takes a few steps backwards, then runs forward, but as he jumps off the apron, AJ dodges just in time to shove Kuroi into the cell wall, but STILL Kuroi only stumbles back into the ring apron. AJs temper gets the best of him, as he jumps forward, laying into Kuroi with left and right hands. He continues to swing his fists, until finally Kuroi blocks a punch, before headbutting AJ. He then grabs AJ by the hair, and as he lifts him off the ground he swings him around, literally throwing him into the steel stairs, which topple over on impact. He then stomps foreward, grabs AJ by his tights, and pulls him to his feet, before grabbing the back of his head, and slamming him into the steel cell. AJ is barely able to stand afterward, and Kuroi capitalizes on this, and quickly hoistes AJ up onto his left shoulder. He takes a few steps back, and then runs forward, slamming AJs face and upper body into the steel cell once again. He lets AJs body fall to the ground before stepping back.
Cole: My God, after all the punishment AJ dished out, he STILL cant get Kuroi down!
King: Yeah, but look how fast AJ is out after Kuroi took his turn to dish out the violence.
Kuroi looks around, then smiles, as he grabs the top part of the steel stairs, and lifts it over his head. He waits for AJ to get up, and then throws them right at his head! AJ ducks however, and the steps simply clash against the cell wall. AJ tries to run forward, but his attempts are in vain as Kuroi catches him across the face with a big boot. Kuroi picks AJ up and rolls him into the ring. Once Kuroi is in as well, he lays a few large stomps to AJs back, then runs off the ropes, leaps into the air, and drops a leg across AJs head. He gets up and gives a sadistic smile, satisfied with his work, as the fans boo. Picking up AJ, he pulls him in, then lifts him over his head with seemingly no effort in a gorilla press slam. But instead of dropping AJ to the mat, Kuroi just launches him over the top rope, into the steel wall, and thus right back out of the ring! With a menacing smile, he exits the ring, and grabs those steel stairs again. As the fans try to warn AJ, the Flaming Dragon climbs to his feet, just in time to see those stairs flying at him again! However once again AJ is quick enough to dodge them, and instead the stairs fly right into the cell door, knocking it off its hinges!
Cole: My God, those stairs just busted open the cell door!
King: That says a lot about how heavy those stairs are, and just how strong Kuroi is.
Kuroi pays no attention to what hes just done, and instead makes his way towards AJ again. AJ, on one knee, refuses to back down, and swings a fist that connects on the abdomen of Kuroi. AJ then swings his arm with an uppercut that hits Kuroi square in the jaw. As Kuroi leans back and holds his jaw, AJ grabs a hold of the ring apron and uses it to pull himself up. Kuroi runs after AJ, but AJ hops out of the way, and Kuroi finds himself on nothing but ring apron. When he turns around, hes met with a huge leaping calf kick, which sends him barreling into the ring post. AJ gets up, and looks to Kuroi, then looks down at the steel stairs which lie on the cell door just a few feet away. Instead he crouches down and lifts up the ring apron, and fishes around. Seconds later he emerges with a steel chair! Kuroi doesnt seem to realize this, or maybe he just doesnt care, as he walks towards AJ menacingly. AJ doesnt hesitate, and swiftly swings the chair, smacking it right up against Kurois forehead. He repeats this once more, before jamming the chair right into Kurois gut! He then takes the chair, and climbs onto the ring apron. He gets to the other end of the apron, before sprinting down it, leaping into the air, and positioning the chair right beneath him as he drops a leg drop onto the chair, right across the back of Kurois head! Finally this maneuver brings Kuroi straight face down into the ground, ushering in cheers from nearly all the fans in the arena!
Cole: He did it! AJ finally got Kuroi down!
King: Great, now all he has to do is BEAT him.
AJ gets up, but unluckily for him, Kuroi begins to get up at the same time. AJ swings his feet at Kurois legs, hitting him with sharp side kicks to each of his legs. This causes Kuroi to drop to his knees, as AJ picks up the chair again, runs foreward, and then dropkicks it into Kurois face. Kuroi remains kneeling for a moment, before finally collapsing backwards onto his back. This isnt good enough for AJ, who angrily gets up, mounts Kuroi, and begins to lay into him with left and right fists.
Cole: Yeah, get him AJ!
King: How many times is he going to punch him!
AJ continues to lay into Kuroi with brutal left and right fists. He doesnt stop, and finally the referee comes over and tries to pull AJ away. AJ growls at gets up, but as Kuroi sits up, AJ runs over and kicks him sharply right in the spine, warranting a howl from Kuroi. AJ steps over Kuroi to get closer to the cell door, then pulls Kuroi up. Out of nowhere, Kuroi rushes foreward with a burst of energy and tackles AJ to the outside of the cell, both men landing on the concrete near the ramp. Kuroi and AJ get up at the same time, but AJ is the first to begin to lay into his opponent with right and left hands. Kuroi soon begins to fight back as well, before grabbing AJ by the throat, and tossing him into the steel cage. As AJ slumps down, Kuroi walks over and picks up the steel steps for the third time. He raises them above his head, but as he walks forward, AJ is able to lean forward and low blow Kuroi! Kuroi drops the steel steps, falls to his knees beside them, and then falls to his back. AJ looks around, then he sees the cell door laying on the ground. He grabs it, and lays it across the steel steps, with the side nearest him sticking up in the air. Meanwhile, Kuroi climbs to his feet. As Kuroi is bent over the steel stairs trying to keep his balance, AJ hops up in the air, then jumps down on the cage door, causing the other side to fly up, cracking right across Kurois face! As Kuroi grabs his face in pain, AJ picks up the chair from nearby, runs forward, and as Kuroi turns around AJ swings it and connects directly with Kurois skull. AJ drops the chair, and screams IS THAT ALL YOUVE GOT? before turning around. He grabs onto the cage side, and begins to climb up the side of the cell!
Cole: Oh NO, you cant be serious! AJs climbing up to the top of the cell now!
King: But look at Kuroi, it looks like AJ has busted him open!
Indeed he has, as Kuroi sits up, blood begins to trickle down his forehead. He glares up at AJ, who stands on the top of the cell, holding his arms out as if to say Come get me. Kuroi gets up, and glares, before grabbing onto the links of the cell, and begins to climb. As he inches his way up to the top of the cage, Kuroi reaches up, trying to grab one of AJs feet. AJ steps back and shakes his head no. Kuroi stands there, clinging onto the cage, suspended about halfway up the cage, before angrily climbing all the way up. He climbs to his feet, and the fans cheer in excitement as AJ and Kuroi stare at each other from opposite sides of the cage ceiling. AJ then runs foreword, and begins to hit Kuroi with left and right hands. Kuroi fights back with right hands of his own. AJ knees Kuroi in the gut, before pulling him in, and swinging him back over his head with a T-Bone suplex! The fans go absolutely insane as AJ lays on the ceiling, holding his back which is clearly in a lot of pain from lifting the monster. Kuroi on the other hand almost begins to climb up to his feet already, his blood lust seemingly unstoppable. AJ gets up, and runs at Kuroi, but is put down with a big boot! Kuroi stops and picks up AJ by the hair, but at the last moment, AJ swings both arms upwards, low blowing Kuroi with both of his arms! Kuroi leans forward in pain, as AJ tries to get to his feet. He then pulls Kurois head in between his head, and the fans go insane as they know whats coming.
Cole: Youre not telling me AJ is going to
King: A Flaming Drop on the cage ceiling?
Cole: No, dont do it! The ceiling will give out, damnit!
Clearly AJ doesnt care, as he hooks both of Kurois arms, preparing for the move. But before he can swing Kuroi up, the monster stands up straight, lifting AJ up on his shoulders with him. Kuroi positions AJ, and then BAM!!! DEATH GRIP ON THE CELL CEILLING! NO!! As Kuroi nails the move on AJ, the ceiling to the cell gives out, and both men come flying down, THROUGH THE RING! EMTs immediately begin to rush down to the ring.
Cole: DEAD! They both have to be DEAD!
King: We dont need EMTs out here, we need two body bags.
As the EMTs swarm the ring they begin to attend to both AJ and Kuroi. Two EMTs grab Kuroi, and put their heads under his shoulders before hoisting him off the ground. They slowly help him out of the ring, and get to the cage door.
Cole: Neither of these guys can go on King, not after that. They need to call the match off.
King: For once, I agree.
As the other EMTs load AJ onto a stretcher, he swings his arms, not wanting to be rolled away. Meanwhile, Kuroi looks to the two EMTs that are holding him, seemingly out of it. Then out of nowhere, he knees one in the gut, before taking the other, and throwing him into the side of the cell! He then takes the first, lifts him up, and then drops him down onto the steel stairs outside of the cell! Clearly still with more in his tank, Kuroi walks around the ring inside the cell, where AJ is struggling to get off the stretcher. Kuroi lunges foreward, and before AJ can move, Kuroi clocks him in the face with a forearm. He then picks AJ up off the stretcher, and throws him into the apron, where AJ slumps down. Kuroi then makes short work of the other EMTs, taking them out with left and right hands. Kuroi then looks to AJ, and growls. He climbs onto the ring apron, pulling up AJ with him. AJ tries to fight back with some forearms, but his energy is pretty much spent, and the spot from earlier took almost all he has from him. Kuroi blocks one of AJs punches, then grabs him by the throat. The fans gasp as Kuroi lifts AJ up in the air, and chokeslams him off the ring apron, THROUGH the stretcher, with a Dark Halo! The stretcher lays in two torn pieces, as AJ lies right in the center. Kuroi lightly hops down from the ring apron, and pins AJ in the debris. The referee counts, as the fans remains silent. 1, 2, 3!
Winner via pinfall: Kuroi
As the fans sit in silence, Kuroi angrily gets up, and wipes some blood from his eyes, as his music hits. The cage is raised up, and more EMTs run down to try and help AJ. Kuroi stumbles off, and on the way up the ramp, he passes ring technicians who are going down to repair the ring. We then cut to a quick promo video for tonights main event.
*The camera cuts backstage where a medical team is rushing around the halls. The camera follows and soon we find a group of people standing around someone in the hallway. The camera gets in close and its revealed to be Mongo the Destroyer! Hes writhing in pain and covered in blood. Something very distinctive is that he is quite a distance from his wheelchair, which sits back in the office, which can be viewed through a door in the hallway that Mongo is currently lying in. A small group of people including Nelly Angel are standing around Congo the Destroyer, who looks mortified.*
I- I cant believe it, I came back here after my match and I found Mongo like this. Yeah, just like this, I called for help immediately. I hope hes alright, I hope hes not going to be out of commission for any length of time. Oh who could have claimed such a terrible vengeance on my dad!?
*The EMTs get Mongo onto a gurney and begin to cart him out as the camera moves back to the ringside area*
All is quiet in the arena, when all of the sudden, a voice hits.
This is gonna suck...
Just then the sick opening guitar riffs of "Pain" by Dry Kill Logic hit, and the fans boo as Red Fusion saunters out from the back, and heads down the ramp, alone. He has a focused look on his face, as he walks up the steps and into the ring. He paces around for a few moments before take his "Revival" tee shirt off and tossing it into the crowd. As the song continues and the lights flicker, he stretches his arms back and forth, preparing for his match.
"Self High Five" hits the P.A. and Curtis Kanyon comes out of the entryway wearing a yellow wig, a black shirt, and blue jeans. He points to the crowd and then puts his arms up to form a diamond shape. He breaks them apart as pyros go off behind him and he yells "BANG!" Curtis then runs down to the ring and slides in. He circles around the ring backwards and points to the crowd. He then puts his arms up into the diamond shape again. He once again breaks them apart yelling "BANG!" He then awaits the match to start.
All Out War Match for the XHF European Championship
Red Fusion vs. "DDK" Curtis Kanyon (c)
Neither man wait for the bell to sound, as they both run up to each other and begin sending hard punches, neither man getting a clear advantage. Red Fusion just grabs Kanyon and pushing him towards the ropes hard enough that both men fall over the top rope and to the outside. Neither man stays down for long, as they get up and continue to trade blows with one another. DDK gets the early advantage by sending hard punches into the stomach of Fusion multiple amounts of times, and then sends a hard jab into the jaw of Fusion, sending him back a bit. DDK then runs towards Fusion and grabs him and lifts him up, and then drives him into the ring steps! Fusion hits the steps hard and DDK begins sending fists into his head before sending a hard kick into it. DDK grabs Fusion and lifts him up and attempts to toss him into the ring post, but Fusion reverses it and sends DDK head first into the post! DDK hits it hard, landing on the padding, and Fusion not laying off him as he lays some kicks into his body. Red Fusion rolls DDK off the padding and then grabs it and pulls it off, revealing the concrete. He then grabs DDK and lifts him up to his feet, and sets him up for a suplex and lifts him up, driving him back first onto the concrete! DDK hits it hard and screams in pain, but Fusion doesnt let go of the hold, and rolls onto his feet, attempting another one. DDK is able to hook his leg around Fusions, making it impossible to lift him up. Kanyon sends some hard punches into the ribs of Fusion and then shoves Fusion, sending Fusion back first into the railing. Kanyon doesnt wait for long though, as he runs towards Fusion and gores him, breaking through the railing and into the front row!
Fusion and Kanyon land on a few fans as the others begin to scatter away, still watching Fusion and DDK trading hard punches with one another. DDK takes advantage as he begins to send knees into the body of Fusion, allowing himself to take a few steps back. He shoves a fan off of his seat and then grabs a chair and tosses it at Fusion; the chair ricocheting off of his skull! Red Fusion falls to the floor and begins crawling away as DDK follows him, sending hard punches in his back each time before grabbing him and tossing him into the concrete area, away from the fans. Fusion begins to climb up to his feet but DDK runs and drives his boot into his face, sending Fusion back down. Curtis grabs Fusion and lifts him up to his feet and places him in position for the Vicious Spiral, but Fusion sends punches into the face of Curtis, forcing him to release the hold. Fusion turns around and Curtis goes for an attack, but Fusion grabs him and lifts him up, driving his spine into the concrete with the Fiery Fall! Red Fusion is on one knee before he lifts himself up and walks towards the fans, who run away, and grabs a chair. Fusion wastes no time into driving the chair into the body of Curtis, each shot heard around the arena, before he sets it up at the feet of Curtis. Red Fusion bends over and grabs Curtis, and places him in position for the Supernova, but Curtis sends elbows, forcing Red Fusion off of him. Curtis then grabs Fusion and pulls himself down with a downward spiral, causing Fusion to land against the seated chair! Fusion holds his forehead after hitting the chair, as Curtis gets up and grabs the chair, and then wraps it around the neck of Fusion! Curtis moves Fusion into a sitting position and drives his foot into the back of Fusion, and then screams at the referee to ask if Fusion quits. The referee brings the microphone to the mouth of Fusion who replies
: Fuck off!
Curtis lets go of the chair thus dropping Fusion to the floor, and Fusion tries to crawl way. He crawls closer to the steps where the next level is, but Curtis runs and grabs Fusion, and slams him against the wall next to the steps. Curtis doesnt let go of Fusion, and instead begins to send him into the wall a few more times, sending the big man down. Fusion falls on the steps, only thing holding him up is the railing. Kanyon begins climbing up the steps and grabs Fusion, and brings him up to the steps, and then threw the crowd. Fusion begins walking away from Curtis trying to get a breath of fresh air, but once he gets enough space away from him Curtis runs and drives a forearm into the back of his head, sending Fusion down. Curtis stands over Fusion and looks around and suddenly turns into DDK, repeatedly screaming BANG! He grabs Fusion and holds him up, and sets him up to his feet, his back against the edge of the next level. DDK kicks Fusion in the stomach and then goes for a hard forearm, but Fusion ducks and then turns around and sends a hard fist into DDK, sending him stumbling back. DDK is at the edge and is unable to balance himself and falls off the second level, but grabs onto the top, preventing him from crashing into the floor below! Fusion sees this and immediately begins stomping the feet of DDK, but DDK holds on for dear life, not wanting to fall into the hard concrete. Fusion walks over to a fan and takes the beer from his hand, and then looks at DDK and then the can. He drinks some of the beer and then walks over and throws the glass bottle down, shattering into DDKs head, causing DDK to crash into the level below!
DDK hits the concrete hard, the glass covering his face, as Fusion slowly walks over to the steps and down them, and over to DDK. He screams at the referee who just gives him the microphone, and Fusion walks and stands over DDK.
: DDK, if you dont want to continue to have every bone broke in your body you know what two words you have to say so say them you son of a bitch.
Fusion places the microphone to the mouth of DDK and bends over to get in his face.
: BANG!
Some glass shoots up into Fusions face causing him to scurry back and dropping the microphone. Fusion is heated, having a cut from the glass as he grabs DDK and lifts him up to his feet and lifts him up to one shoulder, as he charges the ring. He runs through the hole in the railing and drives DDK back first into the side of the ring, and then continues to send hard punches into the head of DDK until DDK falls to his knees. Fusion finishes the attack and then walks over to the time keepers table, where he takes the ring bell. He holds it up over his head and goes to hit DDK with it, but DDK leaps up and drives his shoulder into the stomach of Fusion, causing Fusion to drop the bell and drop to one knee. DDK gets to the ring bell first and swings it, the bell sounding off against Fusions skull! Fusion falls lifeless onto the padding as DDK turns back into Curtis, throwing down the ring bell and grabbing Fusion and lifting him up before rolling him on top of the english announce table. Curtis sends hard forearms into the chest of Red Fusion before climbing up on top of the table. With all the luck in the world the table doesnt crack under the pressure, as Curtis Kanyon stands up on top of the table and has Red Fusions head, placing it between his legs. Curtis grabs the waist of Red Fusion and lifts him up, and then drives him through the table with a sit-out Piledriver!
The announce table is broken into pieces, with both Fusion and Kanyon laying on top of them. The blood from earlier is spreading further down Fusions face, as Kanyon waves the referee to walk towards him, where he snatches away the microphone.
: Listen you son of a bitchI dont have all night to come and kill you, so SAY IT DAMMIT. SAY THE DAMN WORDS.
Kanyon sets the microphone against the mouth of Fusion, who doesnt say anything. He looks up and leans his head back, and then spits blood into the face of Kanyon! Kanyon lets go of Fusion and the microphone and wipes the blood off of him, smiling sadistically at the scene before grabbing Fusion and lifting him up, and placing him against the Spanish announce table. Kanyon punches Fusion in the chest before taking a few steps back, getting enough space to gain momentum for the Gore. He runs towards Fusion in full force, but Red Fusion ducks down and lifts up Kanyon onto his shoulders and immediately pushes him off with a death valley driver, sending him through the Spanish announce table!
Fusion falls to one knee as Kanyon lays in the carnage of the announce table, allowing Fusion to crawl to the ring. He reaches under, and pulls out some fiber glass insulation and slides it into the ring, and then follows after he slides in some barbwire, a two by four, and a table. Kanyon begins moving, while inside of the ring Red Fusion sets up the table near a corner of the ring, and, even without gloves, grabs the barbwire, setting it on top of the table. The blood begins to pour out of Fusions hands, but he seems determined, not willing to let it stop him from spreading it on top of the table. Kanyon is finally able to get into the ring, and Fusion turns his attention towards him and grabs the fiberglass insulation, and winds up and swings towards Kanyon, but Kanyon is able to roll out of the way. Kanyon gets up to his feet and runs towards Fusion, but like hes playing baseball, he swings the fiberglass insulation and it shatters off Kanyons head! Kanyon just falls to the mat, as the debris of the shot spreads all over the ring. Fusion doesnt hesitate to lift up Curtis Kanyon and placing him between his legs and walking towards the table. Fusion tries to lift up Kanyon with the Phoenix Bomb, but Kanyon is able to hold himself down, and then low blows Fusion. Fusion lets go of Kanyon and Kanyon lifts him up and places him onto his shoulders, and then runs and drives him into the corner across from the table. Kanyon holds Fusion in the upside down position, and ties his feet on the top turnbuckle for the tree of woe. Kanyon falls out of the ring to walk over and he grabs a chair, and tosses it into the ring. Before he gets back into the ring he goes under the ring and grabs a baseball bat, and then slides into the ring. Fusion is unable to get out of the position he is in, as Kanyon gets the chair and places it in front of Fusions face. Curtis Kanyon looks at the baseball bat and then swings at the chair, driving it into the face of Fusion!
Curtis drives it repeatedly into the chair forcing Fusions face to hit the chair, as Fusion falls down to the mat. The bat breaks and is deemed useless, causing Kanyon to toss it out of the ring. Kanyon grabs Fusion and drags him into the center of the ring and grabs him a reverse front facelock. Kanyon grabs Fusions tights and lifts him up going for the Vicious Spiral, but Fusion holds himself down and lands back on his feet. He turns his body around to face Kanyon, and then shoves him into the ropes. When Kanyon bounces against the ropes and gets near Fusion, Fusion grabs him in position, and then drives him into the mat with the Supernova! Both men lay on the mat next to one another, each man looking like theyre barely able to move. Fusion is the first, as he crawls over and grabs the two by four, and then walks towards the table. He walks under it and to the corner next to the table, and begins climbing up it. As he reaches all the way up Kanyon too is moving, as he grabs the steel chair. Fusion sits on the top turnbuckle, turned towards Kanyon, as he takes a deep breath. Kanyon reaches all the way to his feet and Fusion stands up looking to jump off the turnbuckle, but Kanyon is quicker as he tosses the chair; hitting Red Fusion in the head!
Fusion is barely unable to stay balanced, as he begins to look woozy while standing there. Kanyon walks over and under the table to get to Fusion, whom he punches in the stomach. Kanyon begins to climb up the turnbuckle facing Fusion, and he grabs his opponent, setting him up in position for the Piledriver off the top rope. Kanyon tries to pull Fusion off but Fusions able to hold himself down, using his strength to get out. Kanyon throws a punch to the face of Fusion, but Fusion, still holding the two by four from earlier, swings it; half of it breaking against Kanyons head! Kanyon is lifeless as he falls back, and falls through the barbed wire table! The barbwire sticks and pierces the body of Kanyon, who is barely able to move. Each time he moves his hand the barbwire follows him its so deep, as Fusion gets off the turnbuckle, and walks over to the head of Kanyon. Kanyon, laying in the bed of barbwire begins to move up and Fusion grabs his head, and using his broken piece of barbwire, stabs it into Kanyons forehead!
Fusion is holding up Kanyons head as he begins rotating the piece of barbwire, trying to get it deeper into the head of Kanyon! Kanyon screams in an extreme amount of pain; blood is gushing out of his head uncontrollably. Fusion screams at the referee, and tells him to ask Kanyon if he quits. Kanyon holds off, but the words finally come out of his mouth.
: I QUIT!
Winner and the NEW XHF European Champion: The Notorious R.E.D Fusion
Fusion lets go of the barbwire, which is almost drenched in blood. Kanyon faints to the mat, as medical assistance almost comes immediately. Fusion holds his arms up in the air, the blood dripping down his face. The ring announcer hands Fusion the European Championship, which he holds up in the air, and goes on the second turnbuckle. He holds the championship up in the air, as he watches Kanyon in a literal pool of blood and barbwire, splinters on his face. Fusion rests the championship on his shoulder and screams at the fans, finally claiming the European Championship.
The camera went backstage once again. Tara stood outside of the arena for a moment now, just trying to think about the current situation going on this evening. She couldnt even get Spike Kane to take a break from watching those matches, and allow him to relax for the evening, at least until the match was to come up it had her slightly angry with Spike, but a little angry with herself because she also knew that escaping the security of the locker room left her vulnerable to anyone that had wanted to talk to her. Namely; The Revival. Shaking her head a little, she was surprised to not run into anyone out there but it was getting rather chilly outside, so she went back in through the doors taking a couple steps down the empty hallway before feeling someones hand on her shoulder.
: "Tara."
These were the only words that Charlie was able to say before Tara had gotten just out of his reach by taking a short leap forward. Although she was now in a dead end of the hallway, Charlie continued to advance wondering why Tara seemed to be scared about his appearance because usually she doesnt seem intimidated at all, but now she seemed completely frightened by him. She was breathing heavily, not wanting to say anything to him.
: "Tara, Im not here to hurt you. Trust me."
Tara shook her head a little continuing to walk backwards but not letting her gaze escape from him. Her fingernails had slid gently along the wall, since she couldnt tell where she was walking and even though her hand was on the wall, she stumbled a bit.
: "Charlie, please just go Ive given my answer to you so many times now, along with the rest of the Revival. I just dont want to be part of it!"
: "But we need you, Tara. Youve got to understand that I wouldnt be coming after you all the time unless it was the truth! We---the Revival---needs you."
Tara kept shaking her head, now going back against the back wall. There were a couple of things along the wall that carried stuff for storage just incase they were needed for the show, and Charlie had blocked the only way that Tara could get out and that was the exact way that she came in. Both of her hands went flat against the wall almost half expecting there to be a secret tunnel, but there was none it was a completely solid wall.
: "Just give me a chance to talk with you about it. And just listen to it."
: "Ive heard it enough times, Charlie. I dont want to hear it anymore its bullshit."
These words angered Charlie, as he lunged forward preparing to strike Tara, but had stopped himself sensing that Tara wasnt ready to even stop him from hitting her. He knew that there was something about her at this time something bothering her that had not let her be herself.
: "Surely, you know what Im talking about."
He said while his hands had trapped Tara against the wall. There was still little room for her to be able to duck out of it, but she chose not to.
: "About Spike Kane being one of these New Blood people that are just looking out for themselves. Not for the veterans. Part of the group that is going to be the death of the XHF. He has no time for you, Tara."
Tara sighed, while trying to shake her head. She knew that it was hard to try and deny this, because Spike was staying focused with the match that he had this night against Reckless Jack he was staying focused with everything that he had to do within the company. They had a couple meetings with the wedding planner, and had still slept in the same bed, and even had lunch on one occasion within the week. But that was it! Charlie tilted his head slightly, while Tara was avoiding eye contact with Charlie, but Charlie kept searching for her eyes.
: "Theyre the death of the XHF, and with you embracing them, theyre going to be the death of you."
Charlies hand had now come over Taras, but she didnt seem to be resisting now. Her other hand actually went to Charlies, as he kept her hands held against the wall her eyes still failed to look at Charlie. But after a couple moments of them in this position, she tried pushing him back.
: "I need to see how Spikes doing."
: "Youre not going to Spike, Tara. I know this, dont try and play me for a fool"
While Tara was still trying to push Charlie back, he pushed her back against the wall with his hands still over hers. Their bodies were pressed together, and Taras eyes finally met with Charlies as she was breathing heavily and biting her lip. She allowed this for just a couple seconds before trying to push back, but Charlie didnt step down and so while the two were at the wall their bodies were rubbing against each others, and Taras breath got a bit heavier allowing her eyes to fall away again. The body rubbing seemed to be a complete accident, but it resumed for a little while before slowing down. They were getting a little bit closer each second, and had finally nearly touched their lips together. Taras lips brushed against Charlies before both of them were now breathing heavily and Taras eyes were closed trying not to look at the gaze from Charlie.
: "You have a match, Charlie."
She said in a low, but gentle tone. Charlie had pulled back, as Tara was trying to but was at the wall so it made it hard for her to go back any further Charlie nodded his head, knowing that he had this upcoming match, but was now a little bit nervous because of what occurred back here. He turned away from Tara, as she stayed at the wall with an empty expression, and it was now her who seemed to be confused about all of this. The camera went back out to the arena.
All the lights in the arena are shut off, as the intro to Lupe Fiascos Spaze Out echo throughout the arena. Green sparks suddenly fall from the ceiling all around the arena, creating a rain effect. The logo of The Punisher is lowered over the XtremeTron, covering it completely, as smoke emerges from the floor. The Higher Power Charlie Velez walks up the steps that are under the ramp, wearing a hooded trench coat, as he reaches the top and stands there, looking down at the floor. After a brief moment Charlie Velez lifts his head slowly, and begins to walk down the ramp, smoke covering the whole floor. Charlie Velez reaches the button of the ramp, and he stops, glaring around the arena full of XHF fans. Charlie looks up to the sky as the hood falls off his head. Charlie falls to his knees and holds his arms out and gives a tribute to his mentor Tatsumi Matsuzaka, as green firework type pyros shoot out in front of the XtremeTron. As The Punisher is on his knees his eyes are closed, he is mouthing the words from the Xtremist Bible. When hes finishing his words he slowly crosses his arms to form an X, as the smoke is beginning to clear from the arena. The pyro rain continues to fall, as Charlie Velez then walks up the ring steps, and then goes into the ring. Charlie Velez walks towards the turnbuckle across from him, and climbs up to the second turnbuckle. While Charlie stares at the camera, he begins to slide his hooded trench coat off of him. The ring announcer takes the hooded trench coat from out of the ring, and Charlie Velez then walks down the turnbuckle. Charlie looks at the fans and crosses his arms creating the Xtremist logo once again and holds it to his chest. He then turns his attention towards the entranceway, awaiting his opponent.
Cole: Heres the leader of the Revival, hoping to end the career of Hardcore Harry once and for all.
**The lights in the arena go out. Just as the fans go silent, music can start being heard from the arena's sound system. As the thumping of the song beings, the lights start to flash with it. The song then begins to pick up it's pace as words can be heard along with instrumental. Just then a figure emerges from behind the curtains. He begins walking down the ramp, walking at a slow pace so he can feed on the energy given to him from the song and fans.**
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking buttler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now, the pattern called "must we"
Just because the son has come
Jesus,wont you fucking whistle ?
Something but the past and done
Jesus, wont you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done
**Harold stops halfway in the middle of the entrance ramp. As he begins looking to his left. Shaking his head in acceptance from the fans. Then he turns to his right. Again shaking his head in appreciation to the fans cheering him on. Then he turns his head back to the ring and beings walking toward the ring again, taking his time before he reaches the ring steps**
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a centre in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
And why?
**As he finally gets on the apron. He walks the ledge alittle before putting his left leg over the top and getting in the ring. He stands in the middle of the ring, soaking in all the energy given from the fans. As his theme song continues to play on the sound system**
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a centre in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
**Harold puts his hand on the top rope and pulls back. Then begins pounding on his chest and pulls forward, releasing his arm in the air. Simultaneously all four turnbuckles explode with pyro, that nearly deafens the front row of fans.**
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
And why?
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
**Harold retreats back to his corner, waiting for the match to get underway.**
Cole: And heres his opponent, no stranger to matches as big and brutal as this.
Buried Alive Match
Hardcore Harry vs. "The Higher Power" Charlie Velez
As the bell rings, Velez and Harry stand across from each other, both taking glances to the top of the ramp, where down to the side of it is a black tombstone, an empty coffin deep in soil and a shovel. Harry grins and Velez looks spitefully at him. They both move forward cautiously and Harry swings a punch at Velez. Velez jumps back out of the way of Harrys shots as the Tokyo crowd cheer Harry forward. Harry puts his hands up to offer Charlie Velez a test of strength, and Velez moves forward as if to accept but instead kicks Harry in the gut and knees him in the side of the head as he hunches over. Harry falls to the mat and Velez begins stomping away on his head, then taps his own head to the crowd to point out his brains. The crowd boo as Harry begins to rise to his feet. As he does, Velez runs at him and hits him with a leaping enzuigiri! Harry isnt even knocked down however, instead he staggers back into the ropes. Velez gets up and dropkicks Harry in the face, sending him over the top rope to the floor below! Velez stands in the middle of the ring and raises his hands in an X, much to the annoyance of the crowd.
Cole: Its not as easy to get Hardcore Harry down as it looks.
King: The crowd arent on Velezs side here.
Harry begins to stir on the outside and Velez makes a run through the ropes with a suicide dive! However, Harry drops back to the floor out of the way and Velez connects head first with the ramp! The crowd are on their feet already in this match as Harry grabs Velez and throws him back into the ring. Harry rolls in after him and begins to stomp away on the head of Velez, then falls elbow-first into his chest. Velez rolls around in pain as the 325lb Harry gets back to his feet. Harry grabs Velez and lifts him above his head almost effortless, then bends a knee and drops Velez on top of it in a backbreaker! Harry smiles as he kneels beside Velez on the mat, grabs his hair with his left hand and punches away at his face with right. After four or five shots Harry slaps Velez and screams in his face Is this the monster you wanted?. Harry picks up Velez and continues his assault, grabbing him in a bear hug and lifting the leader of the Revival off his feet. Velez tries to fight out of it with stiff shots to the head of Harry but Harry simply tosses Velez back to the mat.
Cole: Look at the power advantage of Harry, King.
King: Hes in control here, thats for sure.
Harry gives Velez a moment to get back to his feet and pushes him into the corner, slapping his chest with hard frying-pan like hands. He grabs the head of Velez in a front face lock, then moves out of the corner a little before dropping to the mat with a modified DDT. Harry mounts Velez after the move and begins hammering away at his face. Velez tries to manoeuvre his way out but there appears nothing he can do as Harry pokes him in the eye before getting to his feet. Velez remains on the mat and Harry rolls out of the ring and points to underneath the ring, much to the pleasure of the crowd. He rustles around underneath it before pulling out a sack which is tied up at the top, which he throws into the ring. He also brings out a pair of brass knucks which he puts on his fist before rolling back in the ring. Velez is back on his feet by now and runs at Harry as soon as he is upright in the ring but Harry nails him with the brass knucks, knocking Velez to the canvas immediately!
Cole: What a stiff shot.
King: I think hes bleeding Cole.
The camera zooms into the head of Velez and we can see the blood trickle down his face. Harry throws the knucks out of the ring and covers Velez, but the referee reminds him that the match cannot be won by pin fall! Harry shakes his head, knowing that Velez is dazed, and grabs him to his feet. Harry whips Velez off the ropes, but as Velez comes back he dives into the knee of Harry with a dropkick! Harry falls to the mat as a bloody Velez gets back to his feet, trying to mount some offence of his own. Velez pulls back on the top rope for leverage and uses his legs to push Harry out of the ring and to the mat below, before climbing to the top turnbuckle and waiting for Harry to rise. Harry uses the announce table to help him get back to his feet, then turns and takes a couple of steps towards the apron when Velez flies off the top turnbuckle with a flying cross body on the outside!
Cole: Some of the Velez of old here, what an athlete.
Harry lands back on the mat and Velez lands on top of him. Velez gets to his feet and looks around him. He grabs the timekeeper off his seat and grabs his chair, folds it up and begins to go to work on Harry. Velez strikes him multiple times in the head and grabs the hair of Harry, dropping the chair pulling him to his feet. Harry punches Velez in the gut to make him let go then attempts to nail the head of Velez off the steel steps. Velez slams his hands on the steps to block and elbows Harry in the gut, before ramming him head first into the ring post! Harrys head and hands lean on the steps to keep himself up, his head now cut open also. Velez picks the chair back up and waits behind Harry. Harry gets up off of the steps and turns round into a hard chair shot from Velez, opening up his wound further! Harry doesnt fall, so Velez jabs the chair into the ribs of Harry, making him hunch over. Velez tosses the chair away and pushes hunched over Harry on top of the announce table! Velez goes on top of the announce table himself and picks up Harry into an inverted face lock, then spins around and drives Harry through the table elbow-first with The Side Effect!
Cole: What a move!
King: Our table! Our God damn table!
The announce table collapses as both men lie on top of the debris, with the crowd chanting Holy Shit! Holy Shit!. It takes a moment for either man to move, and Velez is the first to do so, using the ramp to help himself up. Velez looks into the crowd, the blood trickling down his body, before walking over to the ring and leaning on the ring apron for a moment to regain some composure. Harry is very slow in getting back to his feet, and as soon as he gets to his knees Velez runs over and knees him in the side of the head. Velez begins kneeing Harry repeatedly as well as delivering hard shots to his head from both hands. Harry collapses flat out on top of the debris once more as an aggressive looking Velez jumps on the back of his head, looking determined to finish this match. Velez grabs the arm of Harry and drags him round the side of the ring and then to the opposite side of the ring than the announce table. Velez rolls into the ring and grabs the tied up sack then rolls back out and begins to drag Harry up towards the top of the ramp, looking on at the open casket. Velez then stops and unties the sack, scattering thumb tacks all over the ramp! He tosses the empty sack to the side as Harry begins to stir, and Velez allows Harry to get to his feet. As he does, Velez kicks him in the gut and jumps into the air, grabbing the head of Harry for the Closure, but Harry instinctively pushes Velez off him and Velez lands back first onto the thumb tacks which he set up on the ramp!
Cole: The plan backfired that time.
King: Thats going to hurt in the morning, Ill tell you.
Harry collapses on the ramp too, his face now a crimson mask. The crowd are on their feet, chanting for Harry to get back on to his while others chant XHF! XHF! XHF!. Velez lets out a loud groan on the tacks as he rolls off of them, his back shining against the camera from all metal tacks stuck into his back. Harry and Velez return to their feet around the same time, Velez in agony as he tries to pull some of the tacks from his back. Harry advances towards Velez and sends a hard right to his temple, forcing Velez back towards the XtremeTron. Velez begins to punch back, each man exchanging shots until the bigger and heavier Harry begins to get an advantage with a hard right. Harry then knees Velez in the gut and pushes the head of Velez between his own thighs. Harry grabs the midsection of Velez and lifts him into the air for a powerbomb on the steel, but Velez reverses with a hurricanrana and both men thud against the ramp!
Cole: This has been a brutal match from the offset.
King: I think both of them will be ready to be buried after this match.
Velez grabs on to part of the stage and pulls himself up, using his hand to keep the blood out of his eyes. He breathes heavily for a second and then looks down at Harry, before wiping his hand on the bloody head of the XHF legend and wiping Harrys blood on his chest! The crowd boo and Velez simply shakes his head at them. Velez drags Harry over to the staging at the XtremeTron and sits him on a horizontal bar about 3 feet off the ground. Velez then looks around, considering whether he should attempt whatever he is thinking or not. Seemingly having made his decision, Velez grabs the legs of Harry and tucks his own head next to Harrys then moves back in position for Final Destination! The crowd all rise to their feet as the legs of Velez wobble, not able to take the weight of Harry, so Velez simply moves back as far as he can, realizing he will not be able to jump in the air or hold Harry much longer, allows himself to fall back off the ramp and into the staging beside the casket while still holding Harry in the Final Destination position!
Cole: My God.
Both men land through multiple tables which are tangled in wires and other equipment and both men lie next to each other, both breathing heavily beside the open casket. Neither man moves as the XHF official climbs down to check if both men are OK, but can do nothing to stop the match until one man has been Buried Alive. The crowd are raising the roof on the Tokyo Dome but are looking on to see if either man moves. Harrys eyes are closed and he appears to be knocked out cold, while Velez stares up at the sky, unable to move. Velez turns his head to see Harry lying unconscious and musters all his strength to get to his knees and then his feet. He staggers back as soon as he rises but manages to keep himself standing while he tries to regain some strength to finish off the match. Velez grabs the arm of Harry to try to drag him to the coffin but Harry doesnt even budge. Suddenly, Velez looks over to behind the main staging and sees a tractor-like vehicle for putting the mud on top of the casket. Velez staggers over to it and enters. He changes gears and begins driving the tractor round to where Harry is. However, instead of digging up the mud, he uses it to lift Harry and turns the tractor around, dropping Harry into the casket! Velez doesnt even close the casket, but instead immediately begins using the vehicle to fill up the hole, the camera panning round to show the mud mounting on top of the lifeless Harry. The bell rings to declare Velez the winner and Velez staggers out of the tractor and grabs a book from behind the tombstone, then hoists it in the air to reveal the Xtremeist Bible! Velez then collapses to the floor, clutching the bible to his chest as the paramedics come out to check on Charlie Velez.
Winner: Charlie Velez
Cole: A massive victory for the Revival here.
King: I think it took a lot out of both men tonight Cole.
Cole: That it did, but I dont think we will be seeing Hardcore Harry for a long time in an XHF ring.
Charlie raises his arms in victory as Harry is buried under the dirt and the refs check on him, trying to dig him out. Venom and Red Fusion come out of the entryway to Charlie's side and raise his arms. Fusion hands "The Higher Power" a mic.
: As it was written, Hardcore Harry has been buried alive. But as it also is written, that is not enough. This man has risen from the dead before, he must rise from the dead to be buried again!
Fusion jumps into the tractor and starts to dig up the grave pit and digs until we see Harry's arm and Venom pulls out his limp body. Red jumps out and helps pull Harry out of the pit. just then seven characters appear on the Xtreme-Tron cycling through numbers. They slowly stop on 6655321 as these words are said over the P.A.:
You're sentenced to 6 months without perole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge, I stand alone.
"I Stand Alone" by Godsmack hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains and walks toward the grave, a chair in one hand and a mic in the other. Red looks ready to fight, but Charlie holds him back. Mr. X stops in front of them and raises the mic. He smirks.
: You know something Charlie, you we're right. I can't avoid this war. I just can't. And I can't get to Mongo with all the protection of the XHF around him to throw at me. You're right, I need to be in this war, I need to help rip the XHF apart to get to Mongo. You were right. And the way you decimated Hardcore Harry, that helped show me just where I belong in this war. Now lift that son of a bitch up!
Cole: Damnit, Harry's been through enough!
King: Apparently not.
Mr. X drops the mic and grabs the chair with both hands. Venom and Fusion hold Harry up by the arms as Velez smiles. He raises an arm up and gives a thumbs down. Mr. X hoists the chair over his head and smashes it with a thunderous sound down onto the skull of Venom! Before Red can react, he swings the chair over into his head! Harry falls to the dirt floor as Velez looks shocked. Velez charges at Mr. X and X shoves the top of the chair into Velez's gut. Mr. X lifts Velez onto his shoulders and delivers an X'ed Out, throwing Velez right into the grave! Mr. X stands up and stares down at Velez, laughing maniacally. He grabs Harry and lifts him up onto his feet. He drags Harry along with him to the back as the Revival is left laying.
King: What the? But Mr. X was supposed to join the Revival! Explain this to me?
Cole: I can't. I don't even want to know Mr. X's thought process.
"I Walk Alone" by Saliva hits the PA. Announcer: "Now approching the ring, from Washington D.C., weighing in at 252 pounds, Joe Everyman". All of the lights in the arena turn green, blue, and white. Joe and Maria walk from the curtain and stage on the stage. Joe then puts his arms to the side, and then brings them down. As he does, blue flames shot from the front of the stage. Joe and Maria then walk toward the ring as short spikes of fire shot up. Joe then slides into the ring as Maria walks up the steps. Joe then splits the ropes as Maria gets in. Joe then points toward the stage as the blue fire shots again.
"Metalingus" blasts over the PA system. Red, green, and blue lights fill the arena. Scotty comes from the curtain and runs down the ramp. He then slides through the apron and bottom rope. He stands up and puts both arms in the air. He then stands in the cornor and waits.
Cole: Here comes Joe Everyman and Scotty Callaway.
King: I think they have a solid chance of winning. Then getting killed by Curtis Bauer.
The lights begin to flash as "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC hits the speakers. Ron Gibson and Curtis Kanyon emerge from the entryway. Ron looks out to everyone at attendance as Curtis pounds his chest with his fists and then raises his arms in the air. Mr. Slave comes out behind them, starts slapping the hands of several fans, including some black folks. Ron Gibson sees this and slaps Mr. Slave across the face, then grabs him by the head and yells at him. He lets go and continues walking down the ramp. Displaying a look of disgust, as he sees people of all races booing his ass. He ignores them because of who they are and continues walking down the ramp ever so slowly. Starring into thr crowd. Curtis walks alongside him, screaming about how he's going to rip his opponents tonight in half. Mr. Slave just follows them along. Ron and Curtis enter the ring. Curtis climbs one corner and pounds his chest again, showing off to the audience. Ron gets up on the opposite corner and yells obscenties at certain fans. They then meet in their corner and talk strategy until the match begins.
Cole: And here are one of the longest reigning XHF Tag Champs in history.
King: Will this reign continue or will they be defeated by the likes of Everyman and Callaway? Im not sure Dirty Deals chances as this is Curtis Kanyons second Pay Per View in a row where he is competing twice.
XHF Tag Team Championship Match
Joe Everyman and Scotty Callaway vs. Dirty Deal (Curtis Kanyon and Ron Gibson)
We take a look at the ring as both teams are inside. One wrestler of each team is in there: Ron Gibson of Dirty Deal, and Scotty Callaway of Callaway and Everyman. The bell rings, and out comes Ron with a clothesline. He knocks Callaway down the ground, and begins kicking Callaway to the ground a few times before backing away for a second. He begins laughing for a second. He looks over to Kanyon, watching him give a thumbs up. He then looks away from the ring to find Slave. He is found talking to some ladies in the crowd. The girl looks at Ron. Slave sees this and looks back at Ron, beginning to nervously smile. Ron shakes his head, and gets out of the ring. He walks towards him, and slaps him. He gets back to the ring, but doesnt find Callaway then does. He tags Everyman in. Ron runs to the corner to try to get Callaway, but Everyman hits him, staggering him for a moment. Callaway gets behind Ron, as soon as Everyman hits on the turnbuckle. Callaway hits a Hurracanrana, and as Ron Gibson goes down, Everyman hits a bulldog onto his head. The crowd cheers, and Everyman raises his hands to please the fans.
Cole: Yes! Go faces!
King: .Uh, Cole. Thats breaking kayfabe. You mean good guys.
Ron struggles, but manages to get up. He glares at him, pissed. He points a finger at Everyman, and grabs him by the arm, after getting towards him. He throws him to the ropes. He comes back with a dropkick to the FACE! Ron Gibson gets pissed. He gets up and just slaps Everyman, who falls to the floor just like that. Ron sighs, and just shakes his head. He looks like he given up, just because things are so crazy. He doesnt give up, but hes letting Curtis work this a while. He walks up to CK2 and tags him in. While all this happens, Everyman gets up. Kanyon runs inside with his arm out for a clothesline, but Everyman shocks him. He shocks everyone inside the arena, hell, the world. He hits Curtis Kanyon with a GORE! He goes for the pin: One Two Kickout! As said before, the crowd is pretty more shocked shitless. Joe Everyman gets up, and throws around his right arm in a Dang gesture. Curtis Kanyon rolls out of the ring while holding his stomach. He begins swearing to Everyman.
Cole: Did he Did he Is he fucking suicidal!?
King: He gored Curtis Kanyon, he is a constant target by Curtis Bauer. Not only is he a dead man, he must hate the name Curtis.
He looks at Ron, who uses a shooing gesture to the ring, obviously wanting Curtis to beat the shit out of Everyman, and Callaway. Curtis gets inside the ring, and glares at Everyman. Everyman walks towards Curtis, and slaps him across the face. That took a lot of nerve. Curtis looks over to Everyman. And smiles? He extends a hand, and Everyman happily accepts the handshake! .Curtis grabs Everymans arm and throws him to the ropes. He comes back to CK2 hitting him with a big boot! Curtis Kanyon, Ron Gibson and Slave laugh, and do a triple high five. Ron and Curtis both realized they touched a black man, and both kick him in the face. Curtis turns around, and finds Everyman beginning to crawl towards Callaway. Callaway is stretching his arm out, and are so close to get the tag. Curtis sees this and runs over towards Everyman. As he runs, he falls down to his knees in a way where he slides. From Everymans back to the back of his head. Everymans face is slammed to the floor. Curtis pulls Everyman to the center of the ring, sitting on his back, and slapping the back of his head.
Cole: Dirty Deal is so Dirty.
King: I love what they do.
The referee forces Curtis off of him, and so he does. Curtis remembers that Ron is pissed at Everyman, and he brings him to his corner, and tags in Ron. Ron gets in, and they both help bring Everyman to his feet. Curtis and Ron look at each other then smile. FILTHY COMPROMISE! WAIT! Everyman steps out of the way! Ron lariats Curtis and Curtis gores Ron! They both fall down, and Everyman, out of energy, falls on top of Ron for the pin: One Two. Thre- The referee stops the count as Slave tugs on Rons wrestling tights. Too bad he didnt do it to help him. He pulled a candy bar out of his pocket, and begins eating it. Ron being almost unconscious and all, cant do much to stop him at the moment.
Cole: Everyman almost won!
King: Awww, the little fella was just hungry!
Everyman begins limping towards the corner, but Ron Gibson begins to climb to his feet somehow. After all this punishment, neither of these two are giving up. Ron Gibson grabs Everyman before he can reach Callaway, and puts him into a full nelson. Ron Gibson goes for a Full Nelson suplex, but Everyman lands on his feet. Ron Gibson turns around, and Everyman hits him with a roundhouse kick, Chuck Norris style: Except, its not full-Chuck-Norris-style because if it was, Ron would be dead. Instead, hes just knocked to the ground. Everyman tags in Scotty Callaway!
Cole: Oh no! Scotty looks like the only fresh one in this match!
King: We may see new Tag Team Champions!
Ron Gibson tries to get to his feet, but while that happens, Curtis Kanyon runs into the ring. He runs towards Scotty, but gets knocked down with a knee to his stomach, making him flip, and hold onto his stomach. Curtis Kanyon rolls out of the ring, and he turns over towards Ron Gibson. At this time, he gets to his feet. Scotty Callaway holds onto Ron and knees him in the stomach, basically forcing him to depend his stance on Callaway, which is what Scotty wants to happen. He runs towards the turnbuckle, while grabbing him Going for his finisher, SLICED BREAD #2!
Cole: THIS IS OVER!
King: NEW TAG CHAMPS BABY!
Everything is going as planned but in the air, Ron pulls off enough energy to stop the momentum, and put him in position for the Race Hate. Everyman sees something is happening, so he jumps on the turnbuckle. He jumps off it, about to hit Ron Gibson and stop this from happening, but while he is in the air, Curtis Kanyon, apparently out of nowhere, jumps up and GORES him in mid-air, knocking the BOTH of them out of the ring.
Cole: Hahaha, payback there!
King: So does this mean.?
Yes, its as King is predicting. RACE HATE! Its executed beautifully. Heres the pinfall: One Two THREE!
Winner and STILL XHF Tag Team Champions: Dirty Deal!
Cole: What an amazing match! Dirty Deal really went the distance, and Everymans team really surprised us with their skill.
King: Youre not kidding there, Cole. Anyways, next up on XHF Retribution, we have one of the most anticipated matchups: MGK versus Doc, in the Shoot Match. Who will prevail: A soldier of the Revival, or one of the leaders of XHFs New Wave? We will find out NOW!
:: The lights inside the arena flicker slightly, when without warning, we're hit with the violent opening riff of Stone Sour's Reborn. As the booming instrumental thrashes over the speakers, the fans jump to their feet in anticipation as the following image plays over the Xtreme Tron.::
::Then suddenly the opening riff to the song begins to thrash the speakers, and the darkness shatters into a blinding world of blue, green, and gold. As the first verse to the song hits, none other than MGK makes his way out, dressed in his ring attire (CM Punk style of course, with amazing kickpad action) and the XHF Title around his waist. In addition, he's wearing his black "Undisputed" MGK T-Shirt. He stands on the entrance stage,his wet hair dripping and hanging over his face as he crosses his arms over his chest in an "X". He then makes his way down to the ring, as the fans reach over the barricade to touch him. As the music continues to play, MGK comes to the ring. He pulls himself up onto the ring apron, and then spins around to face the fans. He nodds his head at them, as the cheer his name, and then he takes off his T-Shirt, throwing it into the crowd. He grins and pats the XHF Title on his waist. After this, he turns and enters the ring. Here, he takes off the XHF Title and lays it down in the center of the ring. He then drops down to a knee in the center, as a spotlight falls down upon him. He lets the light soak in, and looks down at the mat, then lightly pounds the title plate with his fists, and stands up, crossing his arms over his chest again. As the fans cheer, he picks up the XHF Title and slowly raises it in the air. He then climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and raises his title again, and then pointing to his chest. ::
I AM EVERYTHING
I AM ANYTHING
I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY
I AM EVERYDAY
I AM GONNA BE
REBORRRRN
THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING
::As the music continues to blare over the speakers, he hops off the turnbuckle, and he begins to pace around the ring, amped up and ready to go.::
Cole: MGK seems to be one of the main focus' of the Revival.
King: Tonight he gets his first shot a Revival member too.
Cole: I think this is more about the past then about the Revival.
King: Haven't you been paying attention Cole, this is war, and everything is envolved in this.
As the fans wait in anticipation, "Eye of The Tiger" hits over the PA and the crowd rise to their feet, awaiting the arrival of Doc. The lights then turn to darkness, and soon two bright blue strobe lighting bolts shine on the top of the ramp. They cross over in a huge "X" shape, like the St. Andrews flag of Scotland, and as Doc walks out and stands under the "X", the lights turn back on. A spotlight shines on the United States championship which is strapped around his waist as he jogs on the spot, as "Eye of The Tiger" enters the chours.
"It's the,
Eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge
Of our rivals"
Doc then begins to walk down the ramp, slowly looking out at the fans, before posing, dropping to his knees and lifting his arms in the air. Pyros explode in the background on cue as he does so. Doc then continues down to the ring. As he reaches it he climbs the steps and walks along the apron. Doc grabs the top rope, and drops his feet off the apron, but holds on to the rope and skins the cat over the top rope and into the ring. Doc spins round before climbing each turnbuckle to taunt to the crowd, and after he has done so he leans to one side in a taunt, flexing his muscles. Doc then stands tall over the middle of the ring, where he does some last minute stretches and makes sure his wrists are taped up properly as he awaits his opponent...
King: Doc has joined the winning side.
Cole: Says you. NWS has won the XHF Championship four times.
King: A combined six months with that belt between three men. One Revival member alone held the belt for five months.
Cole: And all the three revival members that held the X*Crown combined held it for six and a half months. MGK held it for six all on his own.
King: Well you're a poopy head.
Shoot Match
"The Undisputed Icon" MGK vs. "The Boyhood Dream" Doc
The two men stand in opposite corners as the ref looks at both men to make sure they're ready. They both nod to the ref and he calls for the bell. Neither men move, but continue to stare from across the ring. The tension is thick, and the ref seems confused by the lack of action and calls for the bell again. This time both men step foreword eyes locked in a tremendous gaze. They meet in the center or the ring and stand eye to eye, neither man giving an inch until bam, both men strike with right hands! They begin to swing wildly at each other, neither man backing down in this fight. They throw wildly until MGK connects and connects and connects without Doc being able to get a shot back in. Doc is stumbled back into the ropes from the blows and MGK grabs him and whips him across the ring. Doc runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes as MGK walks towards the center of the ring and as Doc approaches MGK swings with a vicious clothesline, but Doc ducks under and reaches down and yanks the legs out from under MGK causeing him to fall face first on the mat. MGK quickly rolls onto his back and tries to get back up, but before he can Doc is on top of him and swinging wildly down on his face with lefts and rights. MGK is unable to block the blows but is soon able to reverse it and roll Doc over and now stand on his knees above Doc reigning down with rights and lefts of his own. Soon Doc rolls MGK and they continue to roll until they are out of the ring.
Cole: The ref is letting them fight.
King: Maybe you missed it Cole, but this IS a fight.
Cole: Oh yeah, and wait, is that even one of our refs?
King: No, this is a non sanctioned match so MGK and Doc called in the best ref the Japanese independent scene has. I'm not even sure why they have a ref. I dont think either of these men are going to walk out of this alive at this rate.
They dont let go of each other even after the fall out of the ring. They each push up to there knees, still throwing lefts and rights wildly at each other. Soon both men are up, still exchanging punches until Doc quickly sends a knee to the gut of his opponent and then drives him head first into the ring apron. MGK's head snaps back from the impact and he bounces off of the apron back standing up dazed. Doc quickly leaps onto the apron and then leaps up onto the second rope bouncing back with a asi moon sault, but MGK recovers and sends a right hand to the stomach of Doc as Doc is in mid air. Doc crashes to the padding hard as MGK drops to one knee to recover, but quickly gets back up and lifts Doc up by the back of his tights and wraps his arms around the waist of Doc. He struggles to try and toss Doc over his head, but Doc blocks it and performs a standing switch. Doc grabs the waist and locks his hands, but MGK quickly sends back elbows to the face of Doc and switches with Doc again. MGK quickly lifts Doc up by the waist and bottom of the leg and sends Doc into the front row of the crowd with a back suplex!
Cole: This is spilling out quick.
King: You just knew it would. These two hate each other.
Cole: Not to mention this is war.
MGK falls into a sitting position on the floor leaning against the ring barrier for a second to catch his breath but is soon back to his feet. In the crowd security is pushing back fans for there own saftey as Doc gets to his feet and begins swinging wildly. Doc shakes his head and turns around and sees MGK standing at ring side grining at Doc's confusion. Doc looks enraged and begins running towards the ring barrier, quickly MGK leaps up on the ring barrier and then leaps off of it over the running Doc. Doc stops dead in his tracks and waits as MGK turns back to Doc and Doc quickly sends a kick right into the stomach! MGK goes stumbling back into the security. The security catches MGK from falling. Doc doesn't waste any time and charges and nails MGK right in the head with a running forearm that sends both of them tumbling through the two security staff members that were holding up MGK and into the crowd. Both men stumble to there feet in the middle of the screaming crowd and Doc quickly swings at MGK wildly but MGK ducks and Doc nails a fan!
Cole: Holy Shit!
King: No one is safe. I'm grabbing a helmet and some pads before they head this way!
The fan falls the floor in a heap, and Doc just looks at him with disgust and turns back to MGK who nails him with a stiff right hand that sends Doc staggering back. Fans dive out of the way as MGK then lowers his head and drives his shoulder into the gut of Doc and charges shoving Doc through the crowd as they split to avoid being a casuality of this war. MGK runs full speed until WHACK he drives Doc back first into and through the ring barrier that blocks the fans off from the stage area! Both men fall foreword on top of the fallen ring barrier with MGK on top of Doc. It takes a second for MGK to realize what just happened as he looks around at the destruction he just caused and then rains down on the head of Doc with right hands as he grabs the hair of Doc tight with his left hand. Doc can't get his hands up to block the blows from MGK as MGK swings over and over at his head until Doc finally takes the only way out he can think of and sends a knee to the groin of MGK. MGK grabs himself and rolls off of Doc as Doc rolls over onto his stomach and begins to crawl away. The camera zooms in on the bright red face of Doc and catches a glimpse of a small cut on his forehead bleeding ever so slightly. Doc crawls towards the ramp way and pulls himself up as MGK is up to his feet, but still doubled over holding his groin in pain. Doc stands staring at MGK breathing heavyily. Doc begins to stumble towards MGK as MGK stands upright and curls his lip in anger as he sees Doc slowly approaching. They again explode at each other with rights and lefts and the fight is back on.
Cole: There is no stopping these two from ripping each other apart now.
King: There never was. Doc has tried to kill MGK and likewise leading up to this match. No telling how this is going to end.
Cole: I'm afraid of how it might end. Parents, send your kids to bed, this could be grousome.
They trade right hands like crazy before Doc sneaks in a left to daze MGK long enough for Doc to lift him up and drop him across his knee with an atomic drop. MGK staggers back and doubles over after the move and Doc kicks MGK in the face causing him to shoot upright. Doc then steps back and charges taking MGK to the ground with a huge lariat. Doc then makes the first cover of the match and only gets a one count as MGK strongly kicks out and begins to get to his feet!
King: Barely a one count!
Cole: These two have already beat the life out of each other and they can't even keep each other down for longer then a second.
MGK is back up almost quicker then Doc and swings with a right hand, but Doc ducks and drives a knee into the gut of MGK and grabs MGK by the hair and drags him through the side entrance into the back stage area. The camera quickly changes to the back stage area as Doc drags MGK through the curtain into the halls of the arena. Doc quickly turns MGK towards the wall and slams him head first into the wall. Doc reaches up and wipes the small amount of blood that has formed on his cut away and then wipes it on the face of MGK before slamming him head first into the wall again. MGK crumbles after the second shot to the wall and Doc quickly drops for another pin attempt, but again MGK kicks out at one. Doc can't believe it and sends a fist to the head of MGK before MGK can get up and then grabs him by his hair and pulls him to his feet. Doc looks frustraited and looks around for something to cause damage with when he sees a table set up in front of the Commishioners office. Doc drags MGK over to the table by the hair and slams him head first onto the table. MGK stands upright after the shot, barely, and staggers there in front of the table as Doc reaches and grabs the lone box on the table and reads the label "Suggestion Box" and then smashes it over the head of MGK to virtually no effect other then paper flying all over the place. Doc then grabs MGK and lifts him up for a slam on the table, but MGK floats over and lifts Doc up and tosses him back first through the table!
Cole: Jesus Christ!
King: This is getting messy fast.
Cole: How will they survive at this pace. XHF Management never should have let this happen.
King: They're not. This is all on them now. If they get hurt its there own fault.
Cole: No matter what they say, this is still a match promoted on a XHF Pay Per View.
MGK falls foreword onto Doc and the ref drops down amidst all the carnage and counts, barely a two count even after going through a table! MGK gets to his knees and looks in shock as Doc rolls over and crawls down the hallway. MGK shakes his head in disbelief and gets to his feet and begins presuit of his opponent as Doc reaches up and pushs his way through an Emergency exit. The alarm blares through the hallway and over the speakers of the arena as well, but is quickly cut off by the guys running the arena and Doc falls foreword out into the parking back parking lot of the Tokyo Dome. MGK begins staggering after him and soon catches up and sends an axe handle smash down across the back of Doc causing Doc to fall to his stomach. MGK breathes heavily before reaching down and lifting Doc up by the back of his tights. MGK grunts in his own personal pain before sending a forearm into the back of Doc. Doc stumbles foreword and catches himself from falling on the fender of a XHF big rig. MGK quickly moves behind him and gabs him by the back of the hair and slams him head first into the fender of the truck. Blood flies as the shot opens up the wound on Doc's forehead wider. MGK then slams his head again, and again, watching as the blood flies and smears on the white truck as Doc falls to his knees.
Cole: I dont know if I can watch this anymore. It is truely making me sick.
MGK stands over the bloodied Doc and reaches down and grabs him by the legs and pulls him away from the truck and rolls him over onto his back so he can make a pin attempt and NO! Doc kicks out! MGK rolls over onto his back and cant believe it. He puts his hands over his face in disbelief, but is quickly back up and moves over to lift Doc up by the hair, but Doc counters with a poke to the eye. Doc gets back to his feet slowly as MGK shakes off the poke to the eye. Before MGK can regain vision Doc is up and delievers a boot to the gut of MGK and sends him head first into the fender of the truck. MGK collapses to the ground and Doc falls to one knee as the blood flows from his head. Doc shakes his head in agony and then reaches over and grabs the ref and wipes the blood off of his face on the shirt of the ref. The ref looks down at his bloody shirt in disgust as MGK is up to all fours and Doc gets off of one knee and helps MGK the rest of the way up. Doc then spins MGK around and lifts him up in the air and slams him back first on the hood of the big rig truck.
King: These men have to be running on adreniline now.
Cole: They're just beating the life out of each other. This is less like a wrestling match and more like a scene in a bad action movie.
King: It could be a scene in a great action movie!
MGK crawls towards the winshield of the big rig as Doc climbs up the front of the truck and onto the hook along with MGK. MGK turns and looks back at Doc and as he does Doc runs and sends a boot into the side of the face of MGK driving MGK's head into the winshild. MGK's head bounces off like a rubber ball and Doc staggers back and struggles to keep his balance on the slip hood of the big rig. MGK looks up, a small amount of blood forming on his face, and this doesn't make Doc happy enough and he charges and connects with another kick to the face that sends MGK's head bouncing off the winshield again, this time busting MGK wide open and cracking the winshield of the truck. Doc gets a sick smile on his face as MGK's head lays prone on the winshield with blood now gushing from his face. Doc steps back and charges again, this time MGK moves out of the way and Doc sends a kick right through the winshield!
Cole: Holy shit!
King: These men will stop at nothing to win this war.
Cole: This Revival vs NWS/XHF thing has gone to far already.
King: And this is just the begining Cole.
MGK lays on his back on the hood of the truck as Doc screams in pain as he pulls his leg out of the shattered winshield. Doc falls back into the sitting position on the hood of the truck holding his leg in pain. His tights are cut from the glass and small cuts on his legs show where the tights are cut open. He lays there in agony as MGK begins to climb up the winshield and onto the top of the trailer attached to the truck leaving smears of blood as he does. As MGK reaches the top he gets to his knees and wipes the blood from his face and out of his eyes and wipes it away on his tights. Doc cringes in pain as he tries to stand on his leg and staggers foreword and begins to follow MGK to the top of the truck and onto the trailer. When Doc reaches the top MGK meets him with a right hand that staggers Doc and Doc is barely able to keep from standing his bad leg, but keeps his ballance and swings and nails MGK with his own right hand. MGK staggers back from the blow but quickly strikes back with a shot of his own. Doc staggers but swings again, MGK ducks though and lifts Doc up. He staggers to his right barely able to hold Doc up, and falls towards the edge of the trailer and drops Doc off of the trailer!
Cole: Holy Christ!
King: He's dead! Doc is Dead!
Cole: I knew this was going to go to far, and it just did. MGK just killed a man.
King: And the match still isn't over. He still has to pin him.
Cole: Bullshit. Doc couldn't have survived it. The ref needs to call this match.
King: Thats not the rules Cole.
Cole: Damn it! This is to much. This needs to stop. Pin him already MGK! END THIS!
MGK drops to one knee on top of the trailer and looks down at the carnage that is Doc's body laying lifeless on the concrete. MGK breathes heavily as staff members run to Doc to check on him. They shake there heads in disbelief and one yells for an EMT, but MGK yells back to get out of the way and MGK stands on his feet at the edge of the trailer. The staff members run away scared at what could possibally happen next and MGK leaps off and lands on top of Doc with a Shooting Star Press!
Cole: Just stop it already!
King: I don't think either man can survive that! MGK landed on the concrete on his knees, and he bounced off of Doc. He may have stuck the knife in Doc's heart to make sure he's dead, but he's not makeing a pin with no knees.
Cole: At least this will stop now. No way they can continue this match now.
EMTs rush the scene and begin attending to the individual fighters. Soon more EMTs show up with stretchers and begin to load them up onto the stretchers and take them away.
Cole: Thank God its over.
The house lights in the arena go low, a red hue of lights stay on and over the P.A. system we hear a voice.
"First you have to give up, first you have to know... not fear... know... that someday you are going to die."
You couldnt be, you couldnt be me even if you wanted to,
Everything Ive been through.
Live your life, soaking up all my sunshine,
And smile your whole life,
I wouldnt know
The intro for Hellyeah's "You wouldn't know" comes blaring over the sound system, the entrance ramp fills with smoke and we can see the silhouette of Price in the center of the smoke, his head tilted back looking up to the heavens his arms held out wide in the crucifix pose.
18 wheels are rolling,
18 wheels are crushing, Me down,
Running me down
Cars are crashing
Cars are crashin, all around me
Running me down
As the song explodes into the guitar riff so does the stage red pyro shooting up towards the sky angled towards the ring. Price emerges from the smoke and make's his way down the ramp He's wearing black thigh length shorts. Messiah of Hardcore written on the back of his shorts with a pattern of barbwire being the trim of the shorts.
All my days are numbered,
All my days are grey,
All my skies are covered,
All my ends are frayed
Price ignores the heckling fans as he pass's by then, takes his Messiah of Hardcore shirt off up over his head and toss's it to the ramp. He climbs the ring steeps and climbs the outside turnbuckle to the 2nd rope.
You couldnt be, you couldnt be me even if you wanted to,
Everything Ive been through. You wouldnt know
Live your life, soaking up all my sunshine,
And smile your whole life,
I wouldnt know
As the song breaks into it's choirs the camera does a fly by of Price as he looks around the arena then throws his arms out wide once more into the crucifix pose with his head once more tilted up looking towards the heavens as if daring someone to strike him down. He slowly lowers his arms and then his head bringing his chin down to his chest as he looks around the arena at the fans then he leaps over the top rope into the ring and stretches his arms on the top rope.
Lightnings crashin
Thunders rolling all around me,
Bringin me down
Stars are falling,
Fires lighting all around me,
Burning me down
King: This is Price's enviroment here tonight.
Cole: Yeah, a New Japan Deathmatch, I might get sick but hey, good stuff.
*All of the lights in the arena fall out and now the arena is in pitch black darkness as everybody's wondering what the hell is going on. Then, all of a sudden, the following is heard throughout the arena as blue and white lights flicker on and off near the entrance ramp.*
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.
*As with that, music starts playing...like a weird drum beat mixed in with guitars. As the blue and white lights start to strobe more and more as the beat picks up, the following is screamed out loudly*
"THIS FIRE BURNS!"
*And with that, Killswitch Engage's "This Fire Burns" comes blaring over the system. People now cheer loudly as they know who it is, and out of the blue and white strobe lights walks "The Rockstar" Kevin Hardaway. Kevin just stands there, looking at the crowd as he walks to the ring, talking amongst himself and to some of the fans, the United States Championship around his waist, as the chorus is belted out*
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns, always
This fire burns
Always
*Kevin jumps on the apron as he enters the ring and gets on the ropes throwing up the metal horns into an "X" fashion as he gets more loud cheers from the crowd as he goes back to the middle of the ring waiting for the match to begin as he unstraps his belt and gives it to the ref or whomever.*
Cole: Kevin Hardaway, a man who these fans really don't care for.
King: Of course not, he doesn't know hardcore or a deathmatch like Price does.
New Japan Deathmatch for the XHF United States Championship
"The Messiah of Hardcore" Price vs. "The Rockstar" Kevin Hardaway (c)
Both men look around at ringside to see what they have at their disposale. We see a few barbed wire boards, glass, a meat hook, tables, light tubes, tacks, all that fun stuff. The bell rings as we are underway in this New Japan Death Match. Both men rush at each other, swinging right hands to start this match off already. Both men are making a lot of contact with the hands being thrown at each other. Price varies it up with a chop to the chest that sends Hardaway back a bit. Price keeps on him with more and more strikes until Hardaway is down on his ass, trying to block the shots Price is sending at him. Price stops and yells out at the crowd as they clap. Price heads out of the ring and looks around underneath the ring. He pulls out a barbed wire chair and slides back into the ring. Hardaway sees the chair and gets out of the ring himself. Price motions his hand for him to get back in but at the moment, Kevin Hardaway declines the invitation.
King: Don't blame him for ducking Price there.
Cole: I hate barbed wire...
Hardaway looks under the ring himself now and pulls out a barbed wire chair. He slides back into the ring. Price and Hardaway stare at each other with their barbed wire chairs. Both men swing and make contact with the chair. They swing a second time and get the same result. The two chairs meet again. Hardaway feins a swing as Price goes through with it. Hardaway throws his chair at Price. Price gets nailed right in the face and goes down as Hardaway taunts the crowd. Hardaway picks the chair back up and throws it back in Price's face as he gets back up. Due to the barbed wire, Price is cut open in numerous places already in the early goings of this match. Hardaway stomps on Price with the sole of his boot a few times before dropping an elbow into the back of his head. Kevin rolls him over and covers.
One!
Two!!
Price gets a shoulder off the mat. Hardaway rolls out of the ring and grabs a bundle of light lubes. He sets them up inbetween the second and top rope in the corner.
Cole: Oh noes.
King: You can't say noes.
Price is on his feet as Hardaway whips him towards the corner with the light tubes. Price slides down and goes out of the ring, avoiding what could have been certain doom. Price sees a bag and grabs it. Price goes back into the ring and puts his hand into the bag. Hardaway runs towards him. Price takes his hand out of the bag and throws something at Hardaway... Hardaway stops as we see Price threw a ball of tacks at him! Hardaway grabs his face as Price dumps the rest of the tacks onto the mat. Hardaway is screaming in pain, trying to get the tacks off of his face. The ref helps him out as Price nails Hardaway in the leg with the barbed wire chair. Hardaway screams in pain as he holds his leg. We see his face is also a bloody mess now as well. Price hits him again with the barbed wire chair, but in the back this time. The chair gets stuck on Hardaway's back as Price rips it off. We hear more screams as we see missing pieces of flesh off of the current United States Champion's back. Price drops the chair and covers.
One!
Two!!
Hardaway somehow gets a shoulder up. Price shakes his head as he picks Hardaway back up. Price drags him near a barbed wire chair and hooks his head in for a DDT. The crowd starts to get on their feet as Hardaway gets out of the DDT with a Northern Lights Suplex. He flips over and rolls into a second Nothern Lights Suplex. Hardaway releases and holds his back as Price rolls around.
King: Good lord, both men are giving it their all.
Cole: I hate barbed wire...
Both men get back up to their feet and look at each other. Both of them bleeding and both of them wanting to kill each other. Hardaway does a Price clothesline. When Price turns around, he gets Dropkicked to the mat. Hardaway gets back to his feet and goes to the outside again. He picks up a table and slides it into the ring. Seeing as how we are in Japan, they don't chant anything so yeah, we just get claps. Hardaway sets up the table in one of the corners. Price is back on his feet. Hardaway turns around only to get SPEARED INTO THE TABLE!!! The crowd goes "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!" Price holds his head as Hardaway is a crumbled heap. Table shards are everywhere.
Cole: Wow, that certainly has to hurt.
King: Agreed old friend.
Price comes to and pulls Hardaway away from the wreckage if you will. Price covers him.
One!
Two!!
Kevin Hardaway kicks out just before the hand dropped again. Price doesn't believe it as he heads out of the ring. He grabs a barbed wire board and slides it into the ring. Then get grabs another one and slides it into the ring. Price isn't done yet as he slides in a whole bunch of light tubes that were in a box like thing, only is wide and open. The sides aren't that high. So after all that stuff is in the ring, Price slides in himself and gets a Dropkicked in the face. Price leans against the ropes as Hardaway puts the barbed wire boards in a corner. After that, he pulls the light tube thingy into the middle of the ring. He hooks Price's head and goes for a Suplex. Price blocks by hooking the leg. Now Price spins the other way and tries to Suplex Hardaway onto the light tubes but Hardaway blocks as well. Both men release from the hold as the crowd claps at the two blocks.
King: Phew, avoided disaster there.
Cole: For now at least.
Hardaway and Price start to exchange right hands again. Hardaway gets the advantage by throwing Price into the corner... WHERE THOSE LIGHT TUBES WHERE PLACED!!! Price goes back first into them and as he staggers forward, Hardaway Suplexes him into the big pile of light tubes!!! Price is screaming in pain as Hardaway catches his breath. There is a white dust everywhere as Hardaway gets a smirk on his face. He rolls out of the ring and heads to the back. The crowd boos, thinking he has had enough and left the match.
Cole: Where did he go?
King: Maybe he had to dookie.
No, he hasn't gone to dookie as he returns with a MOTHERFUCKING WEED WACKER!!! The normally reserved Japanese fans explode with cheers as Hardaway runs down to the ring with it. Price is bleeding from the back pretty badly now as Hardaway gets back into the ring. He taunts Price, who is on his knees. Just as Hardaway goes to start the weed wacker, Price low blows him... but with A LIGHT TUBE SHARD. OH MY GOD! Hardaway looks as if he wants to cry as Price still holds that light tube shard and starts to cut the forehead of Kevin Hardaway. The crowd is watching in horror as blood is pouring down the face of Kevin Hardaway. He screams as Price gets back to his feet and grabs the weed wacker. He pulls the string and we hear the motor start up.
King: OH DEAR GOD NO!
Cole: I DON'T WANNA WATCH!
Hardaway gets back up to his feet as Price weilds the weed wacker. Hardaway meets the weed wacker to the ribs. Blood goes flying out everywhere as Hardaway just yells out in pain. Price disengages the weed wacker and sees a full light tube and grabs Hardaway from behind, putting the light tube across his throat. Price falls backwards with a Backcracker as the light snaps across the throat of Hardaway. No blood thankfully as Price lays on the mat, still tired himself. Hardaway rolls out of the ring and is getting checked on by the EMTs who have rushed out there to get that deep gash closed. Price goes out of the ring and kicks them away as he stomps on that part of Hardaway. Hardaway keeps yelling as Price puts him back into the ring. Price goes to the top rope and goes for a Legdrop. Hardaway moves out the way and gets back up to his feet. Hardaway holds his side as he takes one of the barbed wire boards and places it flat on the ground.
Cole: I hate this, I really do.
King: MAN UP COLE!
Hardaway drags Price onto the barbed wire and goes to the top rope. Hardaway goes for Hope Is Not Lost but Price moves out of the way. Hardaway's stomach meets the barbed wire as Price grabs the other barbed wire board and lays it flat next to Hardaway. He picks up Hardaway who is still attached to the board. He drops him onto the second barbed wire board so his back in on barbed wire and his stomach is on barbed wire, like a sandwich. Price goes to the top rope and flies off with a Splash that forces the barbed wire to compress Hardaway even more so. Price just stays on top of the boards as Hardaway's shoulders are down.
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
Winner and NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION: PRICE
Cole: No way.
King: Yes way Cole. Yes Way.
Cole: This can't be true.
King: Tell the people at home Cole. They can't hear what we're hearing in our ear pieces.
Cole: I don't want to tell them King, because I dont want to believe it!
King: Well believe it Cole, they're not done and we're going to the back where MGK is looking for Doc to finish this match!
Cole: I can't watch this.
The xtremetron lights up in the back as MGK is limping through the halls of the arena with EMT's following at a distance, afraid to stop him. His head his bandages tight and his knees look wobbly as he staggers down the halls. He pushes his way through a double doors leading to the parking area and there he sees it, EMTs loading Doc into the back of an ambulance on a stretcher. They place the stretcher in the back of the ambulence and get ready to close the doors, but before they can MGK runs and nails the EMT closeing the back doors with a vicious right hand. The EMT hits the ground and screams as he does. The EMT in the back with Doc yells at the driver to take off, and the engine revs up and the sierens wail, but before he hits the gas MGK grabs the leg of the stretcher and holds on tight as the Ambulence takes off and the stretcher goes flying out of the back!
King: WOW!
Cole: This is to much.
The Stretcher hits the pavement with bang and the bandaged Doc lifts his head not quite sure yet what is going on until MGK reaches down and flips the stretcher over causeing Doc to go tumbleing out of the stretcher and rolling onto the pavement. The camera takes a quick look at MGK as he drops to one knee and stares at Doc maliciously. Blood is soaking through the bandage wrapped around his head and he gets back up to his feet and begins walking slowly towards Doc. Doc looks back and sees his enemy coming for him, and begins to turn and crawl away as fast as he can. MGK begins to gain on Doc and Doc stumbles to his feet as fast as he can and stumbles foreword onto the front of a near by car. Doc turns around useing the car to keep himself on his feet and sees MGK now jogging at him and MGK nails him with a right hand that sends Doc flying backwards onto the hood of the car.
Cole: I hope you got that insurance.
King: What are you talking about?
Cole: The rental insurance.
King: No, why?
Cole: Beacuse that's your car.
King: NO! You're right, this has gone to far. Someone stop them!
MGK stands up onto the bumper and stands over Doc's body. Doc pushes himself up onto the winshield and tries to stand, but falls back sitting on the winshield. MGK lets out an evil laugh and steps up onto the hood. Doc kicks up at his attacker trying to back him off but MGK just swipes with his hands and knocks Doc's feet out of the way. MGK reaches down and grabs Doc by the top of the head and sends several right hands to the forehead of Doc causeing blood to ooze through his fresh bandage on his head. MGK then grabs the bandage and rips it off the head of Doc and turns doc over onto his back. He wraps the bandage around his hands and begins to choke the life our of his opponent. Doc's hands flail wildly against the winshiled of the car, blood squirts everywhere as he struggls for air with MGK standing over him camel clutch style choking him with his bandage.
King: God, I hope the Japanese Rental place see wrestlers blood as a sign of honor.
Cole: I doubt it.
MGK soon lets go as Doc's arms go limp. MGK then realizes something and begins looking around and smiles as he sees the ref they hired in the distance running towards them. MGK waves for him to move faster and turns Doc over onto his back and makes the cover. The ref is running but still isn't there and MGK pounds his fist on the hood of the car telling him to count. The ref finally arrives and makes the count one, two, DOC ROLLS THE SHOULDER!
Cole: No way! Stay down Doc, STAY DOWN!
MGK can't believe it. He looks in utter shock as Doc lays there still lifeless barely breathing now. He looks to the ref and doesn't know what to say or do next but instinctivly grabs Doc by the hair and lifts him up. MGK stares into the eyes of his opponent and Doc falls down to one knee, not able to hold himself up on his own power. MGK lifts him back to his feet. MGK then lifts Doc onto his shoulders and holds him there for a second.
King: What is he doing?
Cole: Oh God, it looks like he's going to hit the Deflamation through the winshild
King: NOOOOOO!
That looks to be MGK's plan as he turns to the winshild and goes to drop Doc, but Doc floats over behind MGK and is somehow able to stay on his feet. MGK quickly turns around and Doc coils and releases sending MGK crashing into the winshield of the car with a Genocide Kick! Doc crumbles onto MGK and the ref makes the count one, two, THREE!
Winner: Doc
Cole: Thank god it's over. Neither of these men will ever be the same after this.
King: This might be the best brawl I have ever witnessed. This war is far from over, but this will be remembered as the first great battle.
So, Magnus...how you enjoying the show so far?
Dude man, it's amazing. I mean, we had titles change hands, a New Japan Deathmatch that was absolutely insane, and probably the match of the year so far in Doc vs. MGK. I'm tired...and confused.
How come you're confused?
This next match. What the hell is a "Reverse Ladder Match"?
It's like the King of the Mountain match...only with 2 people...and 2 belts.
What?
I don't know, my head has exploded too.
Let's just make this a regular ladder match, i'm too confused. Must be all the cheese puffs.
ARF!
*Ish looks at Pagnus's mouth...it's all orange!
MAGGS! DID YOU FEED PAGNUS CHEESE PUFFS?!
Probably.
God...just go on to the next match.
"I Stand Alone" begins to slowly play over the PA system and fog fills the stage. Soon Scorpion appears on the stage and he stops and looks around at the screaming crowd before running down the ramp and sliding in the ring. He stands in the ring looking around at the crowd again and waits for the music to cut.
Cole: Here comes Scorpion...the WWO Champion.
King: Well not for long...that title is going into the annals of the X*Crown.
*As the opening guitar plays, the Xtremetron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger with every repetition of the opening chords until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The lyrics to 'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell begin as The Ace appears on stage and grins, his XHF X*Crown Championship in his left hand, he places the belt over his right shoulder, absorbing the cheers as he stands in the shower of cards. The Xtremetron shows The Ace superkick Kuroi off the bridge and crash through the spanish announce table but as he does so his image evaporates into many spade symbols...*
If you take a life, do you know what you give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line...
*The Ace walks down through the shower of falling cards, raising his belt on the way down, much to the delight of the fans as the XtremeTron shows Spike Kane and Doc receiving Ace-Plants. Tara Fenix is shown receiving a Russian Roulette through the glass canvas and her image evaporates into spade symbols, out of the evaporation rises The Ace's bloody hand, grasping the X*Crown Championship...*
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
*The Ace gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling. The Ace slides his title under the bottom rope before entering the ring himself, he picks up the title and walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope...*
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name...
*The Ace raises the title high above his head in his right hand as the electric crowd cheer, he grins...*
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change the game that we've all been playing...
*The Ace climbs down and puts the title over his shoulder as he walks to the middle of the ring and the song fades...*
Unification Reverse Ladder Match for the XHF X*Crown Championship
(*The first person to climb the ladder and hang both the WWO and the X*Crown belts will be the X*Crown champion*)
"The Ace" Jake Conway (c) vs. Scorpion (WWO Champion)
The bell rings as both Scorpion and The Ace are standing at opposite corners, first looking at each other, but then looking at the prize. 15 feet above the ring dangles the X*Crown title and the WWO title. They then refocus on one thing thats keeping them from getting that X*Crown title each other. They begin to circle the ring.
Cole: This is going to be one hell of an athletic contest, King.
King: Hahaha funny.
Cole: Im serious.
King: No youre not.
Scorpion and Red start to near each other and then lock up hands to hands. Scorpion starts to become overpowered and Red moves him back a couple feet. Scorpion breaks the hold and smacks Red across the face. Scorpion says he wasnt ready, and wants to tie up again. They lock hands again and this time Red breaks it, even though he wasnt losing, and lays a loud smack across Scorpions face. Scorpion holds his cheek as he turns around and stumbles. He then lunges at Red and starts furiously punching him. The Ace pushes him off and into the ropes. Scorpion bounces off and runs back. He does a spin and then nails Red again with a flying fist.

Scorpion grabs Red by the neck and switches places with him again. This time Scorpion lays some fast smacks and chops into Reds chest, causing chaotic wooing from the crowd. Scorpion then backs up and puts his hands on his knees, waiting for Red. Red stumbles out of the corner and Scorpion picks him up for a spinebuster. Instead of slamming him down on the mat he slams him into the corner again. He starts ramming his shoulder into him and walks away. He then runs at Red and charges shoulder first. The Ace dives out of the way and a loud smack is heard as Scorpion goes shoulder first into the ring post!
Cole: Scorpion and The Ace are starting this match up very competitively.
Scorpion holds his shoulder in pain as Red pulls him out of the turnbuckle and spins him around back to the turnbuckle. The Ace begins stomping Scorpion down onto his ass, then begins to choke him out with his foot. The Ace grabs Scorpion by the arm and picks him up out of the turnbuckle. He goes for an Irish Whip but Scorpion counters it with a whip of his own. The Ace runs to the turnbuckle but stops himself right in front of it. He turns around and Scorpion spears him into it! Scorpion falls though the second rope and out to ringside, but is just fine. He picks himself up and raises his hand to the approval of the crowd. He gets up on the apron as The Ace holds his back and walks out of the turnbuckle. He grabs The Ace by the hair and goes to guillotine him into the top rope but The Ace keeps a hold on Scorpion by the shoulders and holds him in the air! He pulls Scorpion close to the ropes and then throws him over ringside, over the barricade, and into the scattering audience! Scorpion crashes into the first two rows of chairs and yells in pain. The Ace catches his breath shortly and then climbs through the ropes. He jumps down onto the ringside mat and over to the barricade. Scorpion lays on the mess of chairs breathing heavily and looking back at The Ace. Red grabs Scorpion and drags him out of the audience by his shoulders. Red grabs Scorpion by his arm and whips him towards the steps. Scorpion stops himself and turns back to The Ace. Scorpion ducks under Reds clothesline and turns around. He kicks Red in the back and Red holds himself up on the ringsteps. Scorpion then runs and jumps over The Ace and hits a bulldog onto the ring steps!
Cole: Oh my God, King!
King: That was insane!
Red holds his head in pain as he stumbles back away. Scorpion bends over catching his breath and walks over to Red who is stumbling away holding his head. Scorpion grabs The Ace by the back of the head and tries to slam him face first into the barricade. The Ace blocks it though, and then elbows Scorpion in the gut. He grabs Scorpion by the head but Scorpion blocks getting slammed face first and elbows The Ace in the gut. Scorpion then finally slams The Ace face first into the barricade! The Ace stumbles backwards and Scorpion ducks down and flips The Ace on his back. He drags him around to get his back to the ring post and looks to the crowd. He then slingshots The Ace at the ring post! The Ace though slings up and plants his feet at the corner of the ring, hugging the ring post. Scorpion looks annoyed and then punches Red in the back. He grabs Red by his calf and throws him off the apron and Red hits his jaw on it. Red turns around and Scorpion throws a punch, landing on Reds face.

He picks him up on his shoulders for a powerbomb but Scorpion grabs onto the top ropes and finally pulls himself over Red and back onto the apron. The Ace turns around and Scorpion punches him across the face. The Ace backs away holding his jaw in pain as Scorpion climbs the turnbuckle. He then leaps at The Ace for a flying clothesline but The Ace catches him and almost instantly slams him down with a powerslam!
Cole: Damn! That was a hard hit the mat!
King: I know! That was a huuuge counter!
The Ace gets to one knee and looks down at the barely-moving Scorpion. Fusion then looks to the cheering crowd, then looks over to the ramp where a ladder is set up as a decoration. The Ace gets to his feet and climbs out of the ring leaving Scorpion behind. He walks over to the ladder and folds it back up. The Ace carries it back towards the ring with all of a sudden Scorpion flies through the middle ropes and dropkicks the ladder and The Ace! The Ace rolls backwards, dropping the ladder on the ramp. Scorpion holds his thigh in pain but continues to push himself. Scorpion stumbles on his feet and walks over to The Ace holding his abdomen. Scorpion stomps on him and yells something about his mama or something. He then grabs the ladder and walks over to the ring. Scorpion slides it into the ring, following shortly after. He quickly sets it up in the middle of the ring and begins climbing. He gets halfway up and The Ace nails him in the back with his forearm. It stops Scorpion and Red gets under Scorpions thighs on his shoulders. He carries over to the ropes and powerbombs him out of the ring! The Ace falls to one knee, still needing to catch his breath. He finally turns to the ladder and repositions it. Red starts slowly climbing it, reaching the top of the ladder with his hand. Red finally gets to where he can touch the X*Crown title but then Scorpion climbs after him, grabbing a hold of Reds foot. Red jerks his foot and finally nails Scorpion in the face, but Scorpion doesnt release. He jerks The Ace off the ladder and Red lands on his feet. Scorpion begins punching him into the ropes and mocks him. He then goes to clothesline him over but Red ducks and gets behind Scorpion. He grabs a hold of Scorpions waste and goes for a German Suplex, but Scorpion swings his elbow into Reds abdomen. Scorpion grabs the bent over Reds head and goes for a suplex. He lifts him up but drops him back down to his feet, just realizing how heavy he is. He goes to pick him up again but Red blocks it with his foot. He then punches Scorpion in the gut and locks in for a suplex of his own. He lifts Scorpion into the air and holds him there. For five seconds. Then pulls back and completes the suplex, but Scorpion hits the ladder, knocking it over, and finally landing on it! Scorpion almost immediately gets off the ladder and onto his feet, holding his back in agony, and then drops to his knees.
Cole: Finally, the ladder has come into play.
King: This is where it really gets dangerous.
The Ace stumbles a bit, and then stomps over to Scorpion who is still on his knees. He grabs Scorpions head from behind, forcing him up. The Ace picks up Scorpion for a body slam, but Scorpion struggles and gets himself behind Red, then shoves him into the turnbuckle. Red stumbles back and Scorpion leg trips him, causing Red to fall back and smack his head on to the top of the ladder (its still on the ground). Red jolts around on the mat, holding his head in pain. Scorpion steps over him and grabs the ladder. He picks it up and rests it against the turnbuckle. Scorpion stomps on The Ace a bit and drags him closer to the turnbuckle. He then climbs through the ropes onto the apron, and climbs the turnbuckle that the ladder is on. He gets himself positioned on the opposite side of the ladder, away from The Ace, and shoves himself and the ladder tottering off of the turnbuckle. The ladder comes down as Red just rolls out of the way in time as the ladder was going to crash right onto his head! Red gets to his feet, bouncing off the ropes and charges Scorpion. Scorpion gets up and quickly dodges a clothesline. Red stops himself, quickly turns around, and nails Scorpion in the back shoulders with the clothesline! Scorpion crashes into the ladder headfirst! Scorpion can be heard cursing as he spits away and falls next to the ladder. The Ace stumbles over to the ropes, drops down, and rolls out of the ring. He flips the apron up and starts looking around under the ring. He grabs another ladder and slides it into the ring. He then pulls out a table and slides it in after the ladder. He finally climbs back up onto the apron and through the ropes. He lifts up Scorpion by the head, and exposes that Scorpion is bleeding profusely. He forces Scorpion over to the ladder and snapmares him on top of it. The Ace takes the other ladder and props it up. He begins to climb up it and continuously looks down to Scorpion who is just kicking a bit with his leg, trying to regain himself. The Ace gets to the top of the ladder, still about 5 feet off to the side away from the X*Crown title. The Ace jumps off with a body splash but Scorpion quickly dodges out of the way and BAM!! THE ACE LANDS ON THE LADDER WITH HIS RIBS!! The Ace lets out yells of agony as he holds his abdomen/chest area, where he landed.
Cole: OH MY GOD!!
King: The Ace almost killed himself!
Cole: This is a window of opportunity for Scorpion to win the match!
Scorpion sits up against the ropes, still bleeding, and now has a crimson mask of blood. He pulls himself up and grabs the ladder, repositioning it under the X*Crown title. He begins to climb, looking up at the X*Crown title. The Ace starts pulling himself up with the ropes and looks around the arena. He rests against the ropes and looks at Scorpion, who is reaching for the handcuffs that are keeping the X*Crown title suspended! The Ace stumbles forward over the ladder on the mat and starts pushing on the ladder that Scorpion is on! Scorpion flails his arms and grabs onto the X*Crown title! The ladder falls without him and hits on the ropes. The Ace looks up at Scorpion dangling. The Ace kicks the ladder to the side and grabs the other one. He aims for Scorpion and like a javelin with two hands, he nails Scorpion in the stomach with it! Scorpion releases one hand though, but still holds on. The Ace tosses the other ladder to the side and jumps up and reaches for Scorpions boot. He grabs it and walks back, he then runs and swings Scorpion forward. SCORPION SLIPS HIS GRASP AND LANDS ON THE ROPES NECK FIRST! Scorpion spills backwards in a flash and lands on the ringside mat hard! A Holy Shit chant breaks out as Scorpion holds his throat in pain, signaling he cant breath. The referee slides over by Scorpion and checks on him. He motions for a medic. The Ace rests against the ropes, watching from the other side of the ring.
Cole: HOLY SHIT! I THINK THE ACE KILLED SCORPION!!
King: .OH MY FUCKING GOD!
The Ace looks up to the X*Crown title but looks over to Scorpion, who is already starting to push himself up. Red shakes his head and walks over to the ropes to the side of the ring, just a corner away from Scorpion. He pulls out the table from the ring and sets it up between the barricade and the ring. The Ace then walks past the ring steps to where Scorpion is and grabs him by the head, pulling up the weak Scorpion. Scorpion is still catching his breath, looking like Hell. The Ace pulls Scorpion by the head, forcing him over to the table to finally take him out on. The Ace slams Scorpions head down on the table and then forces Scorpions head between his legs. Red holds his arms out, signaling for a powerbomb through the table. Scorpion then drops down to one knee and rams his arm into Red Fusions junk! The Ace is bent over, holding himself in pain. Scorpion presses against the barricade and then finally hits The Ace with the scissors kick! Scorpion rolls into the ring, and grabs the ladder. He sets it up and looks to the X*Crown title. He starts climbing the ladder, slowly, dripping blood on the sets. He gets almost to the top with The Ace crawls into the ring. He crawls across the ring to the other side and grabs the bottom of the ladder. Scorpion swipes at the X*Crown title once again, once again so close to winning But its too late. The Ace picks up the ladder from the bottom and starts teetering it. He finally gets to where he can push it and does so towards the table! The Ace then balances himself and kicks Fusion. The Ace taunts to the crowd. He's not thinking about doing this. The Ace jumps off. BAM!! A FAMEACER FROM THE LADDER TO THE TABLE! And The Ace jumped from ladder to ladder to get so. The fans break out in a another "holy shit" chant.
Cole: OH MY GOD! THE ACE, FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT, HAS KILLED SCORPION!
King: .Im. Im fucking speechless, man.
The Ace gets up slowly and rests against the ropes and looks up to the X*Crown title. He puts the ladder back into place and plants his foot on the first step. Then the second step, then the third, forth, fifth steps. Next thing you know, The Ace is in the heavens as he's looking at the X*Crown title. He grabs it and the WWO title. The bell rings as The Ace rests on top of the ladder, a freakin mess.
Winner and STILL X*Crown Champion: "The Ace" Jake Conway
Cole: This is turning to be one of the craziest PPV's to date.
King: Agreed.
We go backstage just after the match between Scorpion and Jake Conway, with Tara just walking around backstage in her casual clothes. She was still disappointed about the fact that she did not have a match on this night, but got to thinking as we went to later in the evening that it could be good to finally get some rest. But this whole night has still been a hassle! It seemed as if she was becoming the center of attention without even having to step foot inside the ring not something that she was really looking forward to, but it was just something that she had to deal with. But while standing at her lonesome, preparing just to watch her fianc participate in this match against who was now found out to be her brother-in-law, she was met by someone---it was none other than a member of the Revival, this time it was Rancor. Although she has yet to turn around to see Rancor, she felt the presence of someone staring directly at her, but she wasnt certain who it was almost convinced that it was Charlie because of what happened earlier in the evening, she spoke.
: "Charlie, I gave you my answer earlier."
Tara turned around surprised to see that it wasnt Charlie Velez rather, it was Rancor. She sighed, confused whether she really wanted it to be Charlie, or if she wouldve rather had it no one being there but she continued to speak.
: "Excuse me. Rancor. Sorry. But Ive already given my answer to Charlie tonight, and I havent changed my mind."
: "Listen, Tara, I know that everyone has tried to speak to you about this except for me! But you dont understand the way that we do Charlie makes a lot of sense with what he says, and if you just give it all a chance Im sure youll understand everything just as we have."
Tara began to laugh to herself while shaking her head.
: "Rancor, youre a puppet! As soon as you understand that everything Charlie said came from becoming a crazed alcoholic after disappearing, then youll be able to get your career back on track and even show people why youre one of the best there ever was. I cant help you if youre not going to listen to me rather than Charlie, though."
: "I dont need to listen to you! You need to listen to me! And Charlie, and Venom and your brother. You could help us save the XHF, Tara."
She continued to shake her head and tried pushing her way past Rancor. Rancor did what Charlie usually does, and block her off from leaving and this whole night, she was not able to use a match as an excuse to get past them, so she had to find another way. This time, she gave herself some distance from the member of Revival---but she heard footsteps behind her, and feared a bit that they were attempting more pressure this time around to try and force her to join the Revival.
: "Listen, Im not joining. I can sit here all night if youd like to keep it that way, but Im not joining."
Rancor was looking past Tara for a moment, and gave a sneer to the person that stood behind her. He was just watching as this entire event unfolded Tara still thought it was another person from the Revival, but wasnt turning around to see if it really was.
: "The New Blood hasnt taken too kindly to you! Thats why they always face you, and aim to beat you because youre just like us, to them! You are one of the veterans, and they dont like you for that. Youre not gaining their acceptance."
The person had finally heard enough, so he stepped in front of Tara and it was recognized that it was Shiyen, the person that fought Venom earlier in the evening and had even fought Tara a couple weeks back.
: "Hey, man, back off! She gave you her answer and shes not joining the Revival."
: "You need to mind your own business!"
Rancor took a step forward and tried to grab Shiyen ready to kick his ass, but Shiyen showed no signs of intimidation and was pulling back a bit. But he was being overpowered, until suddenly Tara took a step back and delivered a devastating super kick directly to the jaw of Rancor, sending him back and down flat on the ground! Shiyen looked astonished, and looked towards Tara for a moment who was making sure that Shiyen was okay.
: "Thanks, Im getting pretty sick of these people."
: "No problem."
While the two were still standing backstage over the dazed Rancor, Charlie Velez had finally come onto the scene he looked to be in complete shock by what had happened, and kept glancing up at Tara, then back down at Rancor.
: "What what happened?"
Charlie looks a little bit frustrated with the actions of Tara, and he started to kneel down to make sure Rancor was alright. He was starting to come to, but Taras eyes didnt fall away from Charlie.
: "Tara, Ive had enough of these games! Im sick of seeing you choosing the side of these people! Gastro, Tara, Im going to take you out there. And if you lose then you come to the Revival."
: "Fine by me, but if I win then you all have to back the fuck off! Because Ive given my answer plenty of times, and Im sick of being harassed every time I come into the building by all of you."
Tara tapped the shoulder of Shiyen, still not turning away from Charlie. Charlie looked completely angry with Tara now, while Tara was leading Shiyen away from the scene for their own safety. They knew that if they stood there for too long that the rest of the Revival might show up. We go back out to the arena while Charlie was still trying to wake Rancor up.
The arena darkens out as guitar's begin to wail over the p.a. system. A black silhouette comes over the Xtreme Tron showing a Spike Impailer being hit.
The guitars kick in louder and the vocals begin as Spike Kane walks out onto the stage through a huge cloud of smoke.
"Man's becoming more corrupt now,
godless, wicked, and cruel!
The soulless man stood silenced,
Mary's "word" rang so true!
Chastisement worse than the flood,
spread the word, its all through
Don't kill the messenger girl!
As if we haven't swam enough in this life of miseeeeery!!
Spike stands on the entranceramp, his arms outstretched arching backwards slighty, his fits balled.
"Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time!"
Spike gets to the ring and walks up the stairs cockily, he bounces along the apron and steps into the ring through the middle rope.
"We've grown in numbers six hundred sixty six
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
Eclipse and heaven shall fall
Now I know I've seen it all in my life of miseeeery!"
Spike then walks up to the turnbuckle, looking out to the crowd before arching backwards once more, his arms outstretched sideways, fists balled.
"Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time!
Spike stands on the turnbuckle smirking at the crowd before dropping down to his feet and shaking his legs and arms as the music dies out and the lights return to normal.
King: Here comes the #1 Contender, Spike Kane, former XHF Champion himself...
Cole: This promises to be one hell of a match.
The yelling intro of All That Remains' "This Calling" fills the arena as the lights go out. Blue strobe light starts up as the crowd rocks out to the song, awaiting the next wrestler to come out down to the ring.
I secretly crave, crave that scent again
Still feel it pressing on me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steal my nerves for temptations at hand again
The strobe light stops only to see it start again, this time with a reddish hue to it. A faint silhouette is shown in the entry way, kneeling down with his head down. There is also a white mist surrounding the area where the silhouette is at. The crowd knows who it is at this point and they start to all throw their arms out in preparation for who is about to do it.
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
The strobe light stops as pyro explodes as a red spotlight shines brightly on Reckless Jack as he is kneeling down. He springs to his feet and throws his arms out, XHF World Heavyweight Title secured around his waist. The fans are booing seeing Reckless Jack as he starts to headbang to the song. Reckless Jack looks on at the fans, some of which happening to be telling him to go die while others are still cheering for him. Reckless Jack smirks as he starts to walk down to the ring in his wrestling attire, which is basically a Reckless Jack hoodie, jean shorts, and boots. The spotlight stays on him as the people continue to boo or cheer, whichever. He threatens a few of the booing fans on his way down to the ring.
No secrets deception for these would tear this down
I'll note the past spare the pain (spare the pain)
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never forget these choices were made by me
Once Reckless Jack is in the middle of the ramp, he stops and starts to hype himself up as he takes the title off his waist and lifts it high. A string of pyro shoots down the ramp as he brings the arm back down. He continues threatening the booing fans. After he gets to the ring apron, he rolls into the ring, hopping on the nearest turnbuckle, throwing out his arms once more, the title still in his hand. The crowd booing, as he hops down and does the same on the opposite turnbuckle. He jumps off the turnbuckle, then crouches down with the XHF World Heavyweight Title in hand, waiting for his opponent.
Cole: And heres the XHF Champion, Reckless Jack.
King: Think he can hold onto his title? I Do! My money's on the champ!
Cole: I think he has just as much of a chance as Spi-
King: Typical face-announcer response, cockhole.
No Disqualification Match for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship
"The Spiked One" Spike Kane vs. Reckless Jack (c)
*Before the bell rings, the audience is on their feet as the electricity is being fed off of them to the men in the ring. The ring-announcer gets out of the ring. The competitors stand on opposite sides of the ring, both slightly warming up by jumping around but then stop as the referee calls them both over. They walk to the middle of the ring and get into each others faces. Jack unsnaps his belt and hands it to the referee. The referee grabs it and holds it in the air, showing that its on the line. He then walks away from the two to hand it to the timekeeper. Meanwhile, both men are seen talking shit to each other, until Jack bitch slaps Spike. Spike just turns his head slightly but then looks at Jack, angrily. He gets face to face with him just as the referee breaks them up. They stand back and Spike can be seen nodding at Jack and grinning from the slap. The referee motions and the bell rings to begin the match!
Cole: What a cheap shot by the champion!
King: But Spike took it in and I guarantee that it isnt going to help Jack one bit.
Cole: I will remind you folks at home that this IS a No Disqualification match. That means no holds barred, weapons can be used, anything goes!
King: Cole, just tell them that its going to be one hell of a match and if youre easily offended by hardcore violence, it may be best to turn away.
Cole: Ok, this is go-
King: No.

He bends down and starts yelling at Spike to his face, before Spike thumbs Jack in the eye! Jack stumbles but then Spike wraps his arms around Jacks legs and sweeps him onto his back! Spike gets himself to his feet with his arms still around Jacks legs. He pulls his legs up and tries to turn Jack into a Boston Crab submission hold.

He then jumps up to the third rope, backflips, and hits a moonsault onto Jack!
Cole: WHAT a chain of moves by Spike!
King: We finally get someone coming out on top after a long hard fought battle. All money on Spike!
*Spike gets to his feet, but then drops back down onto Jack and goes for a pin. 1.2KICKOUT is made by Jack. Spike gets on his knees and puts his hands on his hips, thinking of something to do.

He motions for Spike to get up as Spike uses the ring steps to help himself up. Spike turns around to Jack who clobbers Spike with a knee to the face to the steps! Jack catches himself from flipping over the steps and regains control. Spike sits helpless against the stops as Jack looks around for something. He pushes the timekeeper away and grabs his seat, a steel chair.
King: AND THERE IT IS! THE FIRST WEAPON!
Cole: We knew this would happen!
*Jack exposes the steel chair to the crowd and turns to an unsuspecting Spike with a sadistic look; an evil grin. He stalks Spike with the chair in hand and waits for Spike to push himself up. Spike finally gets himself up, hes wobbly, but hes up. Spike turns around to Jack with his arms at his side. Jack lifts the chair and swings at Spike, but Spike ducks and Jack slams the chair into the ringpost! The vibration of the chair hitting the post knocks the chair out of Jacks hands.

Magnus can be seen in the background chasing a pig through the crowd.
Cole: Spike with a great counter!
King: Put your money on Spike, folks! Hes gonna win it all!
*Spike grabs the chair by its feet and the crowd goes crazy, until at least Spike drops it. Spike rolls out of the ring and looks around under the ring. He pulls something out a ladder! A normal sized ladder is removed from under the ring and set to the side next to the announcers table. He then grabs another ladder and slides it out, this time much bigger. He hoists it up and holds it against the ring as then Jack baseball slides into the ladder and into Spike, knocking him back! Spike rolls back onto his back, dropping the ladder to his side and crashing it down onto the announcers table. Spike holds his ribs in pain as he pushes himself up. Jack rolls out of the ring, still woozy from earlier. He grabs the big ladder and creates a low bridge by putting it onto the apron and having it rest between the apron and the announcers table. Jack punches Spike and gets him up against the announcers table. Jack then gets up close to Spike and knees Spike in the groin! Spike wants to fall to his knees, but Jack keeps him up and hoists him up onto the ladder, laying him on top of it. Jack slides into the ring and catches a quick breath before running to the opposite side. He bounces off of the ropes, jumps onto the top rope, and springboards off and hits Spike with a Springboard Shooting Star Press onto the ladder! The ladder tips over to its side and both men roll off of it onto the ringside, but Spike starts flopping like a fish, trying to grab his back as its in so much pain.
Cole: SPRINGBOARD SHOOTING STAR FROM RECKLESS JACK!
King: Hes being Reckless! I love it! Put your money on Reckless Jack!
*Jack struggles to pull himself up and puts his hand on his chest; the exciting move hurt him as well. Spike however is bent on the ground, his abdomen in the air as he bends his back the wrong way. Jack grabs the ladder by the steps and brings it completely into the ringside. Spike starts pulling himself up using the apron as Jack tries to open the ladder up. Jack sets up just as Spike turns to him. Jacks eyes widen and he pushes the ladder into Spikes face, knocking him back down to his knees. He keeps the ladder upright and walks under the ladder. He grabs Spike by the hair and punches him over the head. He pulls him towards the announcers table and punches him again. Spike punches Jack in the abdomen and fights Jack off.

Spike holds his throat in pain before Jack picks him up into a firemans carry. He throws him over his shoulders and into his knee, hitting the Trigger Full of Promises! Spike puts his arms over his abdomen. Jack looks down at Spike, then up at the standing-tall ladder. He then grabs Spike and rolls him on top of the announcers table, and slowly begins to climb the ladder. Jack gets to the top and looks down at Spike, still lying on the table holding his stomach. Jack turns to him and the crowd gets to their feet. Jack then quickly jumps off, doing a 630, The Kill! He crashes into AN EMPTY TABLE as Spike rolls off the edge just in time! The table seems to explode underneath Jack as the walls of it come blasting out from under.
Cole: RECKLESS JACK MAY HAVE JUST COMMITTED CAREER SUICIDE!
King: Amazing! I cant believe Spike got out of the way in time! Put your money on Spike, folks!
*Jack lays in the mess, appearing to be unconscious, as Spike is shown moving around slowly. Spike stumbles to his feet, using the apron and the bottom rope to help him up. He stumbles around aimlessly for a couple seconds before regaining his sea legs. He stumbles towards Jack and pins him, but the referee refuses to saying the pin must be made in the ring. Spike nods his head, no arguing, and grabs the lifeless Jack by the arm and the leg, pulling him up into a firemans carry. He gets to the apron and rolls his lifeless body into the ring and rolls in after him. He quickly moves him away from the ropes and pins him, 1..2.KICKOUT! JACK KICKED OUT! Spike looks at the referee in disbelief, but then pins him again, hooking the leg, 1.2KICKOUT! He hooks both legs, 1..2KICKOUT! He rolls up Jack into a school-boy pin, 1.2KICKOUT AGAIN! Jack refuses to let Spike win and Spike hits the mat with his fist. Spike sits there on his knees and ponders for a second. He looks around and snaps his fingers, his face lights up with an idea. He gets up and begins to leave, but turns around and stomps on Jack, then turns back around and leaves the ring. He looks under the ring for something He puts on some gloves and pulls it out, a mess of barbed wire.
Cole: Oh my God, I think Spikes going to take this match too far!
King: Thats why you need to put your money on him; hes doing whatever it takes to put Jack away!
*Spike slowly and carefully climbs into the ring, dragging the barbed wire behind him. He puts it into a corner of the ring, against a turnbuckle. He walks over to Jack whos finally starting to stir around. He stomps on his chest a couple of times before helping him up. He grabs him by the arm and tries to Irish whip him into the turnbuckle but Jack jumps up onto the top of it! He steadies his balance and then does a Moonsault into DDT onto Spike! The crowd begins to boo as Jack sits there and then pins Spike, 1..2. KICKOUT! The crowd cheers again as Jack gets to his feet and shakes the top rope in anger. He violently picks up Spike and gets him with a European Uppercut. He puts him over his shoulder and goes towards the barbed-wire turnbuckle, looking for a slam into the barbed wire. Spike wiggles out and behind Jack, dropkicks him, and sends Jack into the barbed-wire covered turnbuckle! Jack stumbles back, his arms up and starts yelling in pain as blood slowly drips out all around his body. Jack turns around exposing his flesh wounds to Spike, surprising Spike by the level of damage done. Jack falls to his knees and looks at Spike as blood runs down his body to the mat. Spike walks over to Jack, but walks right into a low blow! Spike falls to his knees right in front of Jack, and Jack spits in his face!
Cole: WHAT A DIRTY MOVE BY JACK!
King: Put your mon-
Cole: Will you please SHUT THE HELL UP?!
King: .aww.
*Jack gets to his feet, blood still dripping all over the mat. He hooks his arm under Spikes arm and throws him into the bottom of the barbed-wired turnbuckle! Spikes back is cut up by the barbed wire as he struggles to free himself. He violently thrashes about, only making it worse. Spike spills out of the turnbuckle, covered in his own blood. He quickly is up to his feet, getting away from the turnbuckle when CRACK! Jack slams the chair from earlier into Spikes unprotected face! Spike lands with a sick thud as Jack flips the chair to the ground. Spike begins to bleed from his nose as Jack pins him, 12KICKOUT! KICKOUT BY SPIKE! Jack cant believe it! He pulls on his own hair in frustration and grabs the chair. He stands over Spike and rams the back of the chair into Spikes abdomen several times before dropping the chair and pinning Spike again, 1.2KICKOUT! Jack stands on one knee, catching his breath, his blood mixing with Spikes blood on the canvas. Jack gets up and grabs the gloves left behind next to the barbed wire. He picks up a part of the barbed wire and wraps it around Spikes neck! He starts choking him with the barbs rubbing against Spikes neck, trying to slash his throat! The referee starts trying to get Jack to stop, prompting Jack to let go and push the referee down. Jack starts yelling at the referee as Spike crawls over to Jack. He gets to one knee and flips Jack onto his back by grabbing onto his lower leg and moving it out from under him. He grabs the barbed wire barehanded and starts wrapping it around Jacks leg. Jack starts punching Spike and trying to cut him with a piece of the barbed wire, but Spike tightens the wire on Jacks leg causing him to yell in agony. Spike starts dragging Jack across the ring by the wire, ripping flesh down Jacks leg. Jack struggles to maintain himself as he screams in pain.
Cole: Spike is absolutely DESTROYING Jacks leg!
King: Absolutely! Put you- I mean Eh
*Jack grabs onto the wire with one hand and starts pulling Spike back towards him. They start a tug of war as Jacks leg bleeds profusely all over the canvas. Jack plants his torn-up foot into Jacks abdomen and monkey flips him over! Spike lets go of the wire in the process. Spike starts pulling himself up, but Jack holds onto his badly cut-up leg in pain, too hurt to move. Both men are bleeding from all over their bodies while Spike is also bleeding from his face and Jack is bleeding horrendously from his leg. Spike catches his breath as Jack rolls over to his hands and knees, but keeps a hand on his leg. Jack gets to his feet, putting more weight on his healthier one. Spike walks over and Jack hits him with a one-legged dropkick-sault! Spike falls back onto the barbed wire left in the middle of the ring! Spike yells in pain as Jack crawls over and tries to make the pin, 1.2KICKOUT! Spike makes the kickout, but cuts his back up even worse from the motion! Jack turns Spike onto his stomach and puts Spike into the Enjoy the Silence! He gets him into the submission hold right there in the barbed wire! Spike starts yelling in pain as Jack can be heard yelling at him to give up already. Spikes face presses against the barbed wire, puncturing his face. Just when it seems Spikes going to give up, Jacks badly-cut leg gives out from under him and he slips, breaking the hold. Jack holds his leg in pain as Spike tries to push himself out of the barbed wire. Thick blood drips from Spikes face onto the mat, a .8 on the Mutoh-scale.
King: This isnt even a wrestling match anymore! Its a fight to the death!
Cole: Spike is refusing to give up; the contender is putting up one hell of a fight!
*Jack grabs onto the ropes and tries to pull himself up, trying not to put any weight on his horribly cut leg. Spike climbs out of the barbed wire as well, looking just as bad as Jack. Its like car wreck in the ring, and the survivors of it are staring at each other. Spike kicks the barbed wire to the side and Jack wobbles out of his side of the ring. Spike motions to Jack to bring it, and Jack grins while blood drips off his lips and to the canvas. Jack, putting most of his weight on his healthier foot, jogs to Spike and greets Spike with a right hand. Spike punches back, Jack follows him up with another, and Spike lays a good one into Jacks face! Jack stumbles back and then collapses on his weak leg to his knee. Spike tries to grab Jack by the head, but Jack punches him in the stomach not once, but twice. He starts getting back to his feet and knees Spike in the stomach with his bad leg. Jack then scratches Spike across the eyes; also working the cuts on his face! Jack puts Spike onto his shoulders into the Torture Rack, the Reckless Killing 2.0 coming up next! Wait, Spike drops to his feet out of the move as Jacks leg collapses again! Jack turns around and Spike then hits Jack with his patented Super-Fast-Superkick! The crowd cheers loudly as Spike collapses on top of Jack, totally out of energy but manages to lay on top of him for the pin: 1.2.3! SPIKE WINS!
Winner and NEW XHF Champion: Spike Kane!
Cole: AND THERE HE IS! YOUR NEW XHF CHAMPION!
King: that was ONE HELL of a match!
Cole: The match itself was Hell indeed, King! But Spike managed to totally work the leg of Reckless Jack, making it a critical factor in this match-up.
King: Night night, erybody!
*Spike lays breathing on top of Jacks breathing body in their own bloody mess. The referee checks on them as medics rush down to the ring. The crowd still applauds Spikes and Jacks efforts in this match, giving them a standing ovation. The medics get into the ring and get an almost-dead Spike off of an almost-dead unconscious Reckless Jack. We fade out to the XHF Logo as XHF Retribution comes to an end
I knew youd be here, thats why I brought this*Mongo opens a drawer and produces a contract with a slight rip at the top.*
So whats it going to be CR, where do you stand?*CR goes to move at Mongo, but Mongo quickly rips the contract a little more*
Dont move, dont come in here. You know what you have to do if you want this. If its that important to you. If all of this is important to you.*CR takes in a deep breath, then quickly turns and leaves the office as Mongo puts down the piece of paper as we turn to Retribution!*
*BOOM! The opening intro goes off as pyros scatter across the entire Tokyo Dome as fans are cheering and going wild as the house lights finally turn on as the camera goes all around the arena, checking out the cool signs, the people, and most possibly some of the ladies...that's how we roll.
Cole: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tokyo Dome, for XHF Retribution!!
King: And boy do we have a hell of a show for you tonight! The Tag Team Championships on the line, the Junior Heavyweight, the European, the United States, the X*Crown and even the XHF Championship!
Cole: and what a spectacle some of those matches are shaping up to be, Venom versus Shiyen, Hardaway vs Price, The Ace versus Scorpion and let's not forget Reckless Jack versus Spike Kane!
King: And some amazing non-title matches too, let's not forget the Shoot match between MGK and Doc, and the intense Buried Alive match between Charlie Velez and Hardcore Harry!
"Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce fills the darkened arena with a crazy ass 20 second intro. After said 20 seconds, strobe lights go nuts as the crowd watches along. When the vocals kick in, Alex Adams and Eric Sanderson appear on the stage, running down to the ring. They jump through the ropes and gets up to their feet. Alex hops to the top rope and makes some hand gestures to get the crowd pumped up for the up coming match. Eric does the same on the other side of the ring. Afterwards, they backflips onto their feet and pace around the ring waiting to the match to start.
Cole: Looks like we're ready for our opening match, Ryan and Christopher Velez, the New Deal, part of Charlie Velez's Revival against the XHF Champions best friends Eric Sanderson and Alex Adams, Uncultured Youth!
King: And to think this all started out over a sandwich.
The New Deal (Ryan and Christopher Velez) vs. Uncultured Youth (Alex Adams and Eric Sanderson)
Sanderson and Adams talk amongst themselves about who will go in first. Ryan looks to Chris and Chris climbs out, obviously Chris is going first. Adams decides to go in first and Sanderson steps outside onto the apron. Adams and Ryan circle each other before moving in for the grapple. They lock up and begin a test of strength. Ryan begins to win, but then Adams begins to puch backwards, forcing Ryan almost to his knee, before Ryan delivers a swift kick to hte knee, forcing Adams onto one knee. Ryan then delivers a double axe handle to Adams' head . Adams goes down and Ryan quickly bounces off the rope and delivers an elbow drop to Adams. Ryan covers....1...-kick out!
Cole: And the early pin attempt didn't work there.
King: when do they ever Cole?
Ryan begins to stomp on Adams, but Sanderson explodes from his corner and unleashes a flurry of punches on Ryan, sending him over the ropes as Chris steps in, Sanderson moves towards Chris, but Chris drops to the floor and rolls out of the ring, collecting himself, with Ryan.
Cole: Damn, Eric Sanderson showing he's learning from the XHF Champion!
King: Man, he really wanted that sandwich...
The ref get's Sanderson back to his corner and then begins the count. 1.....2..........3..........4..........5.........6-Ryan slides back in and as Chris climbs the apron, Ryan tags him in.

Adams throws Christopher Velez off the ropes and nails a spinebuster on the rebound! Adams moves to his corner and tags in Sanderson.
King: Uncultured Youth are definatly taking it to the New Deal.
Cole: You can say that again King......dont!
Sanderson charges in towards Chris, taking him down with a vicious clothesline! Chris gets up quickly and Sanderson is right there waiting for him. A few right hands to Chris, sends him back into the ropes. Sanderson drags Chris back up and whips Chris off the ropes on the return, Sanderson makes due with the atomic drop! Chris jumping around holding his "area" and Sanderson locks his wrists around Chris connecting with a release German Suplex that left Chris folded up like an accordion before rolling through onto his stomach.
Cole: I'm so impressed here...
King: Bah, it's part of the New Deals approach, trust me.
Chris cralws to his corner and just about tags Ryan. Ryan rushes in and takes Sanderson down, Sanderson gets up right away and charges. Ryan clotheslines again, but Sanderson ducks and nails a neckbreaker on Ryan. Chris has rolled out of the ring and Sanderson now is punching Ryan in the face.

Cole: Nevermind...
Ryan covers......one......two....three!!!
Winners: The New Deal, Ryan and Christopher Velez.
We go backstage to see Tara sitting on the couch inside Spike Kanes locker room, just working on a sudoku puzzle of the newspaper. Spike is just settling into his locker room, getting his wrestling attire prepared to get ready for the match against Reckless Jack this evening. Tara had her head laid down on the armrest of the couch sighing with a little bit of boredom since Spike was just so focused with this match. It was as if he had no time for her this night.
: "Tonights your big night"She said to try and break the silence, but Spike simply just nodded his head a little bit. He had already gone to the VCR to pop in a tape of all of Reckless Jacks recent matches, including the triple threat that Tara had participated in a couple weeks ago. Her eyes trailed down towards the television for just a moment before releasing a sigh of frustration and looking away this is what caught Spikes attention, and he paused the tape to look back at Tara for a moment.
: "Whats the matter?" : "That match. It was my big opportunity, and I blew it! And now youre just still watching all these matches of Reckless Jacks you need a break, Spike. Just relax. Your match will come up tonight, and youll do fine and walk out with the XHF Championship."Spike shook his head a little bit, now just frustrated with the words that Tara had said. He had sensed jealousy out of her because of the fact that she wasnt in this main event. She wasnt the one able to fight for the XHF Championship, and didnt even have a match for this night. Thats what also had her frustrated.
: "We have a wedding to plan, still."Spike stood completely motionless with the television controller in hand, steadying his finger over the play button but he had not pressed it again since pausing it, just trying to think of what Tara was saying. It was a choice that he was now having to make to listen to Taras advice and just relax, or to keep focused for the match that he had this night.
: "Spike, I wouldnt do anything to jeopardize your chances of winning the XHF Championship. Im proud that youre getting this shot to take it again but you just havent been sleeping right or anything. So we can just lay here if youd like or we can get things done that we need to get done. Besides wrestling."He was still confused at this point, struggling with his own mind on what to choose. Finally, he sat the remote control down and began walking for the couch, while Tara sat the puzzle down. Spike laid down on the couch a little lower then where Tara sat, putting his head to where her heart was, as she wrapped her arms around his head and just held him close allowing her hands to wander through the hair of Spikes.
: "You just need to rest, Spike."She said in a gentle tone, while Spikes eyes closed for a moment. But it was exactly that only for a moment before he got his eyes opened, and pulled away from Tara.
: "I have to watch these matches, babe."He said in a more serious tone now. Tara looked disappointed about the decision that Spike had made, so got up from the couch and left the room so Spike could continue watching these matches of Reckless Jack in peace.
This appears on the Tron right before 'Riot Girl' by Zebrahead starts blaring from the arena speakers. The fans start to cheer loudly, craning their necks to look at the top of the stage.
'She's standing on the front line, says she wants to light the fuse, says that this is my life, it should be my right to choose'
Dru stands at the top of the ramp, a slight mist swirling around her feet.
'She only wants to burn it down, She wants to see them go, she don't need them, Send it right back into the ground. Says it a violent world, a violent world, leave you with all the bodies around'
She's wearing a loose pair of pants that hang low, revealing the sides of a thong and a cropped top that settles under her bust. a pair of sunglasses rest's a top her head.
'she's no stepping stone, she'll cut you to the bone, you're better off alone, when she's hot, she's hot'.
She smirks and takes off at a dead sprint down to the ring, hopping nimbly onto the apron.
'She's no minor threat, she's no minor threat, she's been bruised and bled'
She turns around to face the ramp and leans backward over the top rope, landing in the ring in a horizontal split.
'She no minor threat, she's no minor threat, she says love is dead, she's no minor threat when she's seeing red, she's my riot girl'
Purple pyrotechnics shoot out of all four turnbuckles, crossing the air and she rolls backward and to her feet, throwing devil horns in the air. She climbs onto the turnbuckles, tossing her hair about and rocking out the devil horns, revving up the crowd.
Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie starts to play as the house lights dim and the arena is flooded with pink strobing lights. Slowly the black satin curtian is pulled back and out steps Joanie Lee wearing a black sports bra-type blouse with matching shorts. She looks at the crowd and waits at the top of the ramp absorbing their energy both postive and negative> She then slowly walks down the ramp stopping occassionally looking at the crowd> As she reaches the ring area she smirks looking at the ref and then slides in head first under the ring ropes. She gets up and walks around the ring with a smug look on her face and confident eyes.
"Ignite You" Ladder Match for the XHF Hardcore Championship
Dru Diamond vs. Joanie Lee (c)
The two ladies walk towards each other and Dru points up to the sky, pointing at the gasoline can hanging above the ring. Joanie looks up also, but Dru takes advantage with a kick to the stomach and continues on the attack. Diamond sends a hard kick to the leg of Joanie before grabbing her arm and irish whipping her into the ropes. When Joanie bounces back Dru is able to grab her and bring her down with a hip toss, causing Joanie to hit the mat hard, but climb up to her feet immediately. When she turns to attack Dru she is knocked down with a dropkick, and when she gets back up she once again gets knocked down with a dropkick by Dru Diamond. Joanie Lee rolls out of the ring instead of climbing up, and is irate as Dru Diamond begins timing something. Joanie argues with a fan in the front row and goes to slap him and does, but when she turns around shes unexpectedly met with a suicide dive from Dru Diamond! Dru Diamond stays on the attack and begins pummeling Joanie with hard right hands before she climbs off and goes walking towards the ladder that is set next to the ring. She folds the ladder and lies it at an angle against the ring steps and then grabs Joanie and placing her on top of the ladder. Dru sends a hard fist into the stomach of Joanie before taking a few steps back and then climbing up the railing. Dru begins to balance herself and when she has perfect balance, she begins jogging on the railing. When she approaches Joanie she leaps off going for a splash, but Joanie Lee moves right out of the way, causing Dru to land hard into the ladder! Dru almost literally bounces off the ladder and onto the floor, as Joanie begins to climb up to her feet. Being much larger and stronger then Dru, Joanie is able to lift Dru up by her hair and then over her head for a press slam. Joanie walks closer to the angled ladder and then pushes Dru up and moves back, sending Dru right into the ladder once more!
Dru Diamond lays on top of the ladder and Joanie Lee lifts her up and rolls her under the bottom rope, and then grabs the ladder and slides it into the ring. Joanie doesnt into the ring though, instead she goes under it and grabs a steel chair, and also slides that in. Joanie follows, as Dru begins crawling to the corner and Joanie climbs up to her feet. She grabs the chair as she walks towards Dru and just tosses the chair hard into Drus back; Dru screaming in pain. The chair bounces off the back of Dru, as she lays down on the mat. Joanie walks over to the ladder and grabs it, before walking over to a corner and setting it in between the top and middle turnbuckle. Joanie begins to walk over towards Dru, but Dru uses her speed to get up and send a dropkick into the knee of Joanie. Joanie falls face first into the mat, as Dru quickly climbs up and jogs over the chair that lies on the mat and picks it up. Dru begins sending hard chair shots to the back of Joanie, each shot harder then the next and then sets it up in the corner, across from the ladder against the turnbuckle. She walks over and grabs Joanie before dragging her and lifting her up, sitting her onto the chair. Dru sends a hard chop into the chest of Joanie before walking across and grabbing the ladder. Dru is able to hold it up on her shoulder and then runs full force towards Joanie, driving the top of the ladder head first into Joanie Lee! Joanie head hits the top turnbuckle and she seems to be knocked out cold, allowing Dru to set the ladder at an angle against the stomach of Joanie. Dru takes a few steps back and walks over to the other side of the ring, before running towards Joanie, walking up the ladder and leaping off, sending a front dropkick into the face of Joanie Lee!
Joanie falls off the chair, as Dru crawls over and covers Joanie. The referee execute the three count; 1-2-Joanie just gets a shoulder up.Dru mounts Joanie and sends fists into her face before climbing all the way up to her feet and grabbing the ladder. Dru sets the ladder up in the center of the ring, and then walking over to Joanie and lifting her up. Dru shoves Joanie into the standing ladder and then sends hard, vicious, chops into the chest of Joanie. When it looks like Joanie is out of breath, Dru runs over to the ropes and leaps onto the second one and then off going for a twisting cross body block, but Joanie is able to catch her while in midair! Using her strength Joanie walks forward with Dru still in her arms and then falls back, tossing Dru Diamond into the standing ladder with a fall away slam! With the impact the ladder falls over with Dru on top of it, and instead of going to take advantage, Joanie rolls to the outside. She crawls towards the apron and lifts it up and begins taking objects out from under it. She takes another chair and slides it into the ring, and follows it up by sliding in a table. Joanie follows after the table, and then pushes it to the side as she walks over to Dru. She lifts drop up for a scoop slam and slams her on top of the ladder, and then grabs the chair that was brought in earlier and places it on top of Dru. She then grabs the chair she just brought into the ring, and walks over to the nearest corner to Dru, and begins to climb up the turnbuckle, back facing the crowd. She gets up to the second turnbuckle and then pushes herself off and places the chair under her, driving it into Dru Diamond under her!
Dru slides off the ladder after the impact of Joanie leaping off, and Joanie quickly goes for the cover. The referee counts; 1-2-Dru just gets a shoulder up! Joanie doesnt waste time arguing the call, she continues to send hard punches into the face of Dru. Each punch bruises the face of Dru, and Joanie just lets go over her, and grabs the table. She sets it up in the center of the ring, and walks over and grabs the ladder and tosses it out of the way as she grabs Dru Diamond. She lifts her up and has her in a front facelock, punching her in the stomach before throwing her arm behind her neck. Joanie grabs the pants of Dru and lifts her up, and holds her there for a stalling suplex. Joanie begins to balance herself perfectly, but Dru Diamond is able to wiggle out of the hold and land behind Joanie and sends a dropkick to Joanies back, causing Joanie to fall over and hit her head against the set up table! Joanie hits the table and then falls down as Dru crawls over and grabs a chair thats laying near her. Both women begin to climb up to their feet, and when Joanie turns her attention towards Dru, Dru throws the chair at her which she catches, and at that instant Dru leaps up and sends a dropkick into the chair, driving it into Joanies head! Joanie falls down on the mat and Dru makes the cover; 1-2-Joanie just kicks out!
Dru hits the mat and then climbs up, grabbing Joanie on the way, and applies a front facelock. Dru, with her free hand taunting to the crowd. Dru uses her leg strength to push herself up into the air and going for the tornado DDT, but Joanie holds her up there and runs towards the ropes, and sets Dru on the apron. Dru lets go of the front facelock and the two women begin sending blows to one another, but Dru takes advantage as she leaps up, and sends a kick to the back of Joanies head! Joanie falls onto the top rope and stumbles back and falls to one knee, as Dru holds onto the bottom rope, staying on the apron. Dru gains back her composure and stands onto the apron, as Joanie finally gets up to her feet, disorientated by the kick. Dru grabs onto the top rope and springboards on top of it and goes for a springboard hurricanrana onto Joanie, but Joanie catches her! Joanie holds Dru up in position and then runs towards the table, and sends Dru through it!
Joanie gets on her knees and looks at the lifeless Dru Diamond, and instead of going for the pinfall, Joanie gets up and grabs the ladder, and places it on the mat in the center of the ring. Joanie walks over and grabs Dru Diamond, and lifts her limp body and places it on the top turnbuckle. Joanie turns her back to Dru and grabs her arms and lifts her up, and walks into the center of the ring, before driving her front first into the ladder with the Dead End! Dru Diamond lays on the mat lifeless, and again Joanie doesnt go for the pin, instead she goes after the belt of Dru and takes it off. Joanie snaps the belt before whipping Dru with it; each shot echoing out throughout the whole arena. Dru is barely conscious, showing some form of life. Joanie grabs Drus arm and places it in between her legs setting up for the Broken, but instead of using her arms to lock around the neck of Dru, she uses her belt! Joanie pulls back and almost immediately Dru begins pounding the mat in submission, enabling Joanie to climb the ladder and obtain the gasoline. It would seem that Joanie would let go of the submission hold, but she refuses! Dru uses her free hand to try and get free, but Joanie continues to pull back, hard enough that Dru Diamonds face is turning blue. After a few moments Drus hand just falls down and shes lifeless, the only thing holding her head up is Joanie. Joanie gets go and Dru just falls face first into the mat, as Joanie gets up and begins rolling Dru to the outside until she hits the padding below. Joanie just tosses the belt onto the fallen Dru before walking over and grabbing the ladder. She sets it up under the can of gasoline, and begins to climb up it, and when she makes it all the way to the top, she grabs it, and just leaps down to the mat.
She rolls out of the ring and walks over to Dru Diamond, still gasping for air. Dru reaches for the railing to try to help her up to her feet, but before she can reach it Joanie swings and cracks Dru over the head with the can of gasoline! Dru just falls flat on the mat, and Joanie opens the can of gasoline, and pours it all over her body until its completely empty and then throws the can on top of Dru. Joanie reaches into her back pocket to pull out some matches and lights it, drops it and takes a few steps back, as she watches Dru Diamond ignite in flames!
Winner and STILL XHF Hardcore Champion: Joanie Lee
Once Dru is completely in flames the ring crew puts her out with fire extinguishers as Joanie Lee is handed the Hardcore championship. The smoke from the extinguishers cover the whole floor area, as Joanie Lee stands there looking at a burnt up Dru Diamond; the determination on her face showing her dominance this night.
The scene moves to the back, with Red Fusion arriving to the arena in a limo. We know it's him because the window is downand we can see him. Red opens the door and steps out, wearing a nice italian leather jacket, and a brand new pair of oakley sunglasses. Red takes them off and walks up to the doors of the building and goes in. Once in, he starts walking down the corridor and goes through a set of double doors. He keeps walking and passes a table full of water bottles. Red grabs one, opens it, takes a swig and keeps walking. Red goes to open the next set of double doors, but when he opens, Joanie Lee walks right through and past Red. Red holds the door open, smiling as she walks by, she stops, turns back at him, smiles and keeps on walking. Red chuckles for a second before continuing on.
The lights go out in the arena and then the intro for Boy Hits Car's "The Rebirth" play's over the P.A. system. The ramp way lights up on each side with traditional Japanese paper lamps.
Rebirth (whispered)
Immerse yourself
in this moment
Think about our rebirth
As the guitars kick the paper lamps explode into fireworks shooting upwards in an angle towards the ring. A red hue takes over the arena
Lets get connected
Lets get united
Lets run away out of these vows of these men of structure
Whoa I wanna get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
A light shines down on the center of the ramp and there is Shiyen on both knee's as if he's praying, he then makes the motion of seppuku across his stomach up to his chest and pounds his heart and hops to his feet as the house lights come back and up He flips a traditional robe off his shoulders.
Oh oh
Here comes the rebirth
Shiyen makes his way down the ramp his hands out to each side letting the fans slap his hands as he walks by, he's in his wrestling gear of black baggy pant's with Shi written down his right leg and Yen written down his left in dark red, his pants are tucked into his black boots with dark red kick pads.
Pushing outwards
From our swollen hearts
It's time to fuse ourselves when love set free loves burning spirit
Cuz everyone seems
Cold and emotionless
I can smell the hunger, taste the angry air who resurrects this
Shiyen stands at the ring for a second before leaping between the bottom and middle rope, rolling into the ring and stopping in the center on one knee he looks around the arena and then does the seppuku motion once more before hoping to his feet
You'll find a place where
You'll beholden to no one
Except yourself so let them come and see ya standing naked
Full of passion
Flowing inside out
Into creation becoming one with present
So go get connected
Unshackled essence
Lets fuck away morality, you might be independent
Oh I wanna get connected
So we can get electric
Then we'll set our souls free dancing into rapture
Oh oh
Immerse yourself in this moment
Think about our rebirth
Shiyen goes to his corner cracking his knuckles and rolling his neck to crack it while awaiting Venom.
Cole: Theres our challenger and possibly the next Junior Heavyweight Champion!
The lights of the XHF arena dim as the voice of Puff Daddy overtakes the PA system followed by the voice of Nas.
The Main Event has returned...
Its been a long time
been a long time comin'
Looks like the death of me now
But you know, there's no turning back now.
This is what makes me.
This is what I am.
As the chorus hits the stage fills up with fog and everyone in the arena rise to there feet in anticipation. Green lights shine through the fog back and forth until they stop on the entrance way and a man known as a legend emerges from the entrance way. Some of the crowd pops at the sight of a true legend and others boo for the pure hatred of the man as Venom walks through the fog. He stops at the top of the ramp and looks around at the screaming crowd. His trench vest is long down to his knees covering up most of the XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship around his waist. He wears his traditional black tights with a V on each side in white, a black head band low over his eyes, black tape on his wrists, and tops it off with sweet ass pick pads and long black boots with Vs on each side of them as well. He grins cockily and begins to walk down the ramp as the first verse hits.
Don't hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy
Ice that I wear, clothes that I try
Close your eyes, picture me rollin,
sixes, money foldin
Bitches honeys that swollen
the riches, nas get in ya
most critically acclaimed pulitzer prize winner
best storyteller thug narrator my style's greater
model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters
commentators bring aside try watchin my paper
almost a decade quite impressive
most of the best is in the essence
for this rap shit that I stand for
expanding more to the big screen
bill gates dreams
but it seems youd rather see me in jail
with state dreams
want me off the scene fast
but good things last
like your favorite m.c. still makin' some mean cash
first rapper to bring a platinum plaque
back to the projects
but you still wanna hate, be my guest
I suggest
Venom stands at the side of the ring as the first verse ends and he mouths Hate me to the fans shouting at him at ring side and then leaps effortlessly onto the side of the ring and then up over the ropes into the ring. Venom then spins around in the center of the ring and throws his arms out as he does posing for the crowd. Venom then heads to the corner as the music fades.
King: Dont hate him Cole. Just dont.
XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship Match
Shiyen vs. "The Main Event" Venom
The referee takes the title from Venom and shows it to both men. He then raises it to the crowd before he hands it to the timekeeper and the bell is rung. Neither men even look at the belt, only at each other. Shiyen immediately charges at Venom, who drops to the mat and brings Shiyen down with a drop toe hold. Venom stays on the mat and rolls around to grab Shiyens head in a front headlock. Shiyen uses his strength to get to his knees and Venom gets to his feet, punches Shiyen a couple of times on the back of the head then releases his hold and runs off the ropes and back into Shiyen with a clothesline. Shiyen gets straight back up and Venom aims a stiff kick to Shiyens gut, but Shiyen catches his leg and kicks Venoms standing leg away from him. Venom falls to the mat and Shiyen tries a quick cover. One-Kickout!
Cole: Some fast paced action here.
King: As if hes going to pin him that quick.
Shiyen gets to his feet and grabs Venom with him, but Venom tries to fight back with a hard right hand. However, Shiyen ducks underneath it grabs Venoms waist, lifts him high into the air and drops him with a German Suplex! He covers again. One-Kickout! Shiyen turns on top of Venom and mounts him in MMA style, then begins hammering away at his face. Venom keeps a tight guard with his hands over his face to avoid as much contact as he can, until suddenly Shiyen stops and gives Venom a moment to push Shiyen off of him. Venom gets to his feet and Shiyen whips him off the ropes, but Venom comes back with a spinning wheel kick! Venom covers this time. One-Kickout! Venom gets up and waits for Shiyen to rise, then throws him into the corner. He follows him over and delivers a few stiff chops to Shiyens chest which echo around the arena. Venom then knees Shiyen in the gut and lifts him to the top turnbuckle. Venom climbs to the top too and Shiyen tries to punch Venom as both men hold on to each other. Venom blocks and grabs Shiyens head under his arm, then throws Shiyens arm over his own head. Venom shouts into the crowd who boo furiously, and then Venom lifts Shiyen vertically above his head and leaps off the turnbuckle with an awesome superplex!
Cole: Thats the Venom of old!
King: Wooo come on Venom you son of a -
Cole: What the hell?
King: Sorry, it doesnt matter.
Shiyen grabs his back in pain on the mat as Venom gets back up and once again climbs the top turnbuckle. He stands up, keeping his balance until Shiyen gets back up himself. As he turns around to the corner where Venom is, Venom jumps through the air and connects with a missile dropkick! He hooks the leg of Shiyen, One-Two-Kickout! Venom gets back to his feet and looks down at Shiyen who lays on the mat. Venom runs towards the ropes and jumps to the top one, bounces off it and lands on top of Shiyen with a springboard shooting star press! Venom covers Shiyen again: One-Two-Shiyen kicks out again!
King: That was a close one.
Cole: That it was king, great athleticism from our Junior Heavyweight Champion.
Venom gets up and shakes his head at the referee, giving Shiyen time to get to his feet. Shiyen rises and punches an un-expecting Venom in the back of the head, trying to gain some momentum for himself. Venom turns around to face Shiyen and Shiyen kicks him at the side of his knee, forcing Venom to drop to one knee. Shiyen runs off the ropes and dropkicks the kneeling Venom in the face, with Venom falling to the mat from the move. Shiyen turns Venom onto his front and grabs his arm behind his back into a hammerlock, lying on top of Venoms back himself for leverage. Venom shouts in pain a little but stops every time the referee approaches to check on him. Venom uses his other arm to stretch out and grab the ropes, and the referee begins his five count to break the hold. One, Two, Three, Four, Shiyen lets go of Venoms arm and gets to his feet. He stomps away on the back of Venoms head, gradually wearing Venom down bit by bit. He grabs the hair of Venom and lifts him to his feet, but Venom nails Shiyen in the gut and runs off the ropes. However, as he runs back towards him, Shiyen leaps into the air and takes Venom down with a hurricanrana, then keeps his legs around the head of Venom while they land on the mat and positions himself to squeeze tight in a head scissors.
Cole: This is great work from Shiyen, moving from move to move.
Venoms face goes red in the hold as he uses his hands to try and loosen the grip of Shiyens legs. Shiyen eventually lets go himself and gets to his feet, smiling at himself as Venom seems to have lost a lot of air and looks a little worn-down. Shiyen picks Venom to his feet once more and whips him into the ropes, bending over for a back body drop. As Venom reaches Shiyen again, he doesnt get back body dropped, instead he stops just in front of Shiyen and kicks him in the face! Shiyen staggers back on to the ropes and Venom chops him in the chest. Venom then moves back away from Shiyen to regain some of his energy as the crowd boo the fact that he is back on his feet, and Venom then runs towards Shiyen with a Yakuza Kick! However, Shiyen ducks underneath it and lifts Venom over the top rope and hard to the mat below!
Cole: Good reactions from Shiyen there, who has shown he knows how to wear out an opponent in no time.
King: Ok, I admit it, I only put money on Venom because the odds were good.
Shiyen realizes that he has the upper hand now and climbs to the top rope as Venom gets up quickly on the outside to ensure that he isnt going to be beaten by a referees count. However, as he does, Shiyen dives towards him with a corkscrew dive off the top rope! Both men crash to the mat as the Tokyo crowd rise to their feat. The referee begins the 10 count from the ring. One. Two. Three. Shiyen gets to his rolls inside the ring and then back out to break the count. Venom is still down and Shiyen pulls him up, with Venom sagging on him. Shiyen manages to stand Venom up and grabs his waist, then lifts him into the air and down onto the steel steps with a release German suplex! Venom hits the steps back first with a thud and lets out a groan as Shiyen is quick to get him back into the ring. Shiyen rolls him into the ring and follows him in. He thinks about the pin for a second and then changes his mind, throwing a dazed Venom into the corner. Venom is lifeless as Shiyen goes to the other corner, then runs at Venom and connects with Flying Death! The crowd are on their feet as Venom collapses to the mat, cheering at one of their most hated superstars about to lose his Junior Heavyweight Championship. Shiyen wastes no time in hooking the near leg of Venom! One! Two! Thr-No! Venom gets his far leg on the bottom rope!
Cole: I dont believe it, Venoms ring awareness is second to none.
King: That should have been the end there Cole, but never count out Venom.
Cole: Shiyen just failed to drag him away from the ropes after hitting that move in the corner.
Shiyen sits up and smacks his fist off of the ring with anger. The crowd are silenced by Venom getting his foot on the rope, and Shiyen grabs him to his feet again in anger. Venom still doesnt appear to know where he is and Shiyen lifts him off his feet in a spine buster position, but Venom manages to get his arm around the head of Shiyen and reverse it into a DDT! Both men lie on the mat breathing heavy as Venom throws his hand over Shiyen, using his reserves. The referee counts. One, Two, Shiyen kicks out! Venom grabs the ropes and uses them to help lift himself back to his feet as Shiyen begins to stir also. Venom uses all he has to spear Shiyen in to the corner, then begins punching away on Shiyens face. Venom backs off for a moment to taunt the crowd, and Shiyen sees his chance to go for another hurricanrana. He gets his legs on top of Venoms shoulders, but Venom blocks the move and places his legs in front of Shiyens arms! Venom then jumps into the air and nails Shiyen with the Casualty To Society! He turns over on the mat, keeping his legs over Shiyens arms with Shiyens legs still over his shoulders. The referee makes sure Shiyens shoulders are on the mat and counts. One! Two! Three!
Winner and STILL Junior Heavyweight Champion: Venom
Cole: A superb turnaround there as Venom sees off the newest member of NWS to retain his title!
King: I knew he would win god damnit.
The camera moves to the back parking lot of the arena, where admist some of the fans and some random people walking, in rolls a Chevy Trailblazer as the people stop for a second to see who's walking out of the car, as the door opens and out walks none other than the current United States champion, Kevin Hardaway. Dressed in camo shorts, a regular black t-shirt and beanie, he walks out to a mixed reaction from the fans inside the building. Kevin goes to the back of the SUV and opens the door where he grabs out the United States title...and a large black bag with something inside of it although we're not 100% sure of what it is. He puts the title over his shoulder and carries the large bag into the arena.
Cole: There's Kevin Hardaway. Can he prove to our country that the US is better in deathmatches?
King: I have no clue, but that match is sure gonna be violent as all hell.
Suddenly, the XtremeTron goes black and the following words appear on screen:
The Old School Doc vs. The New Breed MGK
Shoot Match
No Stipulations, No Gimmicks, No Interferences
Then, the screen flashes and we cut to a clip from two years ago
Velez gathers up enough to get back up. He hobbles over and sets the ladder in the middle of the ring, and he gets onto the first step. MGK walks over on the side opposite of Velez and begins climbing the ladder. Doc makes his way out of the corner and begins climbing on another side of the ladder. All three men move slowly to the top of the ladder. They begin throwing punches at each other. The first one to go is Velez, but he falls and catches himself half way down the ladder. He holds on tight and catches his breath. MGK then scoops up Doc ontop of the ladder and hits the Defamation! Both men crash right through the mat and under the ring.
The screen goes black once more and we cut back to ringside.
*The crowd gets to their feet as Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" kicks up and the youngest Destroyer, Congo the Destroyer walks out with a big smile on his face. He waves to the crowd as he slowly walks to the ring. Congo then reaches the ring steps and climbs them with almost as much pride as he once did as the X*Crown Champion. As he does so, Joey Hawke comes running down the ramp, slides into the ring, and holds the ropes for the young Destroyer. Congo looks confused at seeing Joey at his side again, but gets in the ring any way.*
Cole: Well here is the ring return of Congo, here to help out daddy!
King: But it's against Mr. X. Let's just hope he doesn't have too much Mr. X.
Seven characters appear on the Xtreme-Tron cycling through numbers. They slowly stop on 6655321 as these words are said over the P.A.:
You're sentenced to 6 months without perole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge, I stand alone.
Two red pyros go off on stage forming an X. "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed in an X formation in front of his face. He slowly spreads his arms apart. He then walks down to the ring and climbs in. He tightens his gloves and awaits the match to start.
Cole: Well here is perhaps one of the most sadistic men in XHF history, Mr. X.
King: And he's a man who has attacked many to get to Mongo. Unfortunately, he has to go against one more.
Congo The Destroyer vs. Mr. X
We find Congo and Mr. X in the ring, glaring at each other. Joey is at ringside, yelling at Mr. X, who is taking no interest into. Congo smiles, and extends a hand, looking for a hand shake, and offering respect. Mr. X simply smacks the hand out of the way, refusing to give respect in this match. With one swift motion, Mr. X grabs Congo by the neck, and lifts this 300+ pound man into the air, but Congo reverses as he shifts his body weight to the side, and grabs his arm, locking it into a hammerlock. Mr. X struggles a little, and in response, Congo lets go of the arm, instead, he hits Mr. X with a German suplex!
Cole: Well I guess Congo still does have what it takes do handle his own in the ring.
King: Don't judge so soon, Cole. The match has only begun!
Mr. X grunts a little upon compact, and we can see Joey Hawke at ringside, cheering for Mongo's supposed son. Mr. X gets back up, and glares at Congo. Congo steps forward, reaching in for a grapple, but with Mr. X's cunning power and speed, he sends an uppercut that hits Congo in the stomach knocking the wind out of his stomach, forcing him to his knees. Congo tries to get up, but at the same time, Mr. X is backing up into the ropes and bursts forward to slam Congo with a big boot!
Cole: Mr. X is really trying to make his message known.
King: He's a sadistic bastard, Cole. What do you expect?
As X stands there, lauhging at the damage done, he climbs out of the ring, and starts searching under the ring for something. He pulls something up, and its a sledgehammer! X climbs back in the ring, and as the referee turns around he gets in X's face. However, Congo is now up and moves the referee and kicks X in the gut! Mr. X doubles over and the hammer falls to the ground!
Cole: Mr. X was going to use that hammer and batter his opponent!
King: Duh!
Congo clubs the back of Mr. X hard, and X hits the ground! Congo then picks up Mr. X and whips him into the corner. Congo charges and follows up with a body splash onto Mr. X! Congo then picks Mr. X up and sets him up on the top rope, and climbs up right after. Mr. X comes to, and starts to exchange punches with Congo on the top rope! However, Congo gets the upper hand again and hits a huge right hand on Mr. X! Congo picks Mr. X up and sets him up for a huge superplex! AND HITS IT!
Cole: MY GOD! WHAT A MOVE!
The referee starts to count as both men, are not moving. At around 5, Congo starts to roll over and pull himself up, but collapses due to exhaustion. The referee continues the count, and reaches 8, when finally Congo gets up. Shortly after X begins to stir. Both, Congo and Mr. X are back up, staring one another down, seemingly exhausted from the match alread, when suddenly, C.R comes falling out of nowhere and hits a diving spear on Mr. X! Congo backs away, somewhat in horror as the bell rings, after what he has just seen!
Winner: Mr. X via DQ!
C.R. sees Congo creeping up out of the corner of his eye, and super kicks him down! Mr. X is using the ropes to get himself up, and staring directly back at C.R. C.R. sees him and the two start exchanging blows! C.R. knocks Mr. X back with a stiff right hand, and X falls into the ropes! Congo is back up again, shaking the cobwebs out, but C.R. sees this and charges at him, jumps and hits Darkness Falls! C.R. is back up again, and so is Mr. X! C.R. grabs Mr. X and hits The Sentencing!
Cole: I cannot believe what I'm seeing!
King: I can tell you what he's seeing.
Cole: What?
King: THE LIGHT! He finally did what Mongo asked him to do! This is great!
Cole: But where is he going?
As Mr. X and Congo both stir to get up, they both notice C.R. walking up the ramp, pretty much with intent. C.R. is followed by a camera man up the ramp and through the curtain into the backstage area. Backstage, you can faintly hear "Sincerly, Ichabod" playing over the PA. C.R. turns some corners, and heads down a few hallways. He reaches Mongo's office and kicks the door open. As he walks in, Mongo spins around in his chair, with the biggest smile on his face, that anyone has ever seen.
: I'm a man of my word, and I have absolutely no problem signing this! I don't think I could of planned it better myself!Mongo signs a piece of papers on top of a tiny stack, and then hands it to C.R., who snatches it away.
: Congratulations, you are now officially, under contract of the XHF! Welcome back!C.R. doesn't say a word, and just stares at Mongo. Mongo starts to chuckle as C.R. continues to stare. Mid-laugh, however, the scene cuts away to....
The Revival locker room. Red Fusion is shown getting pumped for his match against DDK for the European Championship. He is in his ring gear, and also has on his "Revival" t shirt, sleeves ripped off and all. He does a bit of shadow boxing, and starts to loosen up. Red lets out a big sigh before turning and heading out the door, as the scene closes as it goes back to the announce table.
Cole: Why is the camera focusing on Fusion all the damn time?
King: I agree.
*Suddenly... The lights shut off, leaving the crowd shrowded with darkness... The Xtreme Tron is now turned on and we find a message....*
"XHF Will Be Mine."
*As that happens, the dirty fretwork of "Pure Hatred" by Chimaira plays as we find a shadow walking into view with a spotlight on it. The spotlight grows brighter and we now find the image of a man of whom we all hate, Kuroi! The crowd begins booing but Kuroi simply ignores it. He walks down to the ring. On the Xtreme Tron, we find video clips of Kuroi working out, bringing himself to the limit, switching to video clips of him performing finishers on some random XHF Superstars. Some main highlights are: The Kuroi Knockout onto AJ Phoenix, The Death Grip onto MGK in the ECF Doomsday Cage, and The Kuroi Kill to Fury. Of course, there are more but those are the ones most seen. The spotlight still following. Kuroi slides to the ring as the light goes on, and stands in the corner awaiting the match to begin.*
Cole: I have a bad feeling about this match, King.
King: I get a bad feeling everytime I take a look at this guy.
Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe your spit from my face
Wipe these tears from my eyes
The openning riff of "I will be heard" by hatebreed plays, AJ Pheonix steps out onto the stage his long hair wet down his face and eyes
"Now is the time for me to rise to my feet
Wipe your spit from my face
Wipe these tears from my eyes
I've got to take my life back
One chance to make it right
I've gotta have my voice be heard
And bring meaning to this life"
AJ starts walking down to the ring wearing his black hooded sleeveless trench coat with a red airbrushed dragon on the back, he gets down to the ring and runs up the steel steps before grabbing the top rope slingshotting over it onto the center of the ring, he flips the hood back and outstretches his arms
"Cause I trusted for nothing
I've been led astray
I've been tried and tested
But i won't accept defeat
Now I've done things I regret
And it's time to reverse the rolls
I just want to make good on
all the promises I have made
I will be
I will be
I will be heard
I will be
I will be heard"
AJ removes his black trenchcoat bouncing up and down on his feet limbering up wearing black short tights with red tribal patterns on each side and black kneepads with black boots and red kickpads, his hands taped up with "fear" written on one wrist in red and "Domination" on the other, as "I WILL BE" is heard in the song the fans chant it in unison
Cole: And heres the former X Crown Champion, AJ Pheonix!
King: Cole, this is going to be a fight. I wouldnt expect a wrestling classic here.
Hell In A Cell Match
"The Flaming Dragon" AJ Phoenix vs. Kuroi
As AJ Pheonix and Kuroi both stand in the center of the ring, face to face, the cell begins to lower around them. Neither man looks away from the other, both staring at each other, clearly with feelings of detest and hate. AJ Pheonix is the first to break the glance, looking from one side of the ring to the other, as the cell lowers around them. Kuroi then looks as well, just as the cell hits the ground. Less than a second later, the bell rings, and Kuroi and AJ look right back to one another, knowing full well that theres no turning back now. AJ nods his head, and steps back to his corner, before bouncing around a bit on his feet. Kuroi on the other hand stays right where he is, his glare never breaking away from AJ. After AJs warmed himself up, he then walks back to the center of the ring where Kuroi is, and without missing a beat, he slaps the monster right across the face. Kuroi turns his head, then looks back to AJ. Glaring. AJ talks some smack like only he can, before slapping Kuroi in the face once more.
Cole: If AJ keeps this up, this will NOT end well.
King: Its not going to end well either way, Cole.
He gets right up in Kurois face, as close as possible, and dares Kuroi to do something, before swinging his hand one last time. This time, Kuroi fires back with a powerful right hand, but AJ ducks it, rises back up, and quickly jabs Kuroi with a fist. Kuroi swings another mighty fist, but AJ ducks again, jumps up, and jabs Kuroi in the jaw once again. Kuroi, clearly getting agitated, launches his knee right into AJs gut, sending the former X Crown Champion hunched into the ropes. Kuroi then slowly walks foreword, and prepares for a strike, but once again, AJ dodges the bullet, before delivering a side kick to the knee of Kuroi. Pheonix does this two more times, switching legs each time, before leaning foreword and slapping Kuroi in the face just once more. Kuroi growls angrily as he leans foreword in pain, but AJ doesnt give him a break, and delivers a front kick to Kurois face just as he bends over. Kuroi stands up straight with force from the kick, but doesnt even pause to shake off the kick before leaping foreword, and finally taking AJs head off with a clothesline.
Cole: Oh my goodness.
King: Now thats a clothesline.
AJ grabs his throat in pain, as thats right where Kurois arm connected. He rolls around a little bit, eventually finding his way to the ring apron, where he hopes to get a breather. Kuroi paces around the ring a little bit, shaking his right arm, perhaps because it actually hurt, hitting AJ so hard. AJ grabs the middle rope on the apron, and climbs to his feet. As he does this, Kuroi realizes that his opponent is getting up, and makes his way towards him. He swings a sharp right hook, which AJ ducks, before launching his shoulder through the middle and top ropes, catching Kuroi right in the gut. Before Kuroi even has time to hunch over, AJ grabs him by the head, and drops his body off the ring apron, hanging Kurois neck over the top rope. Kuroi stumbles back as the fans cheer for the move, but he still doesnt fall down. AJ looks up at him, somewhat surprised that his efforts thus far havent been able to topple the monster. He quickly jumps up onto the apron again, grabs onto the top rope, then launches him up onto the top turnbuckle, before leaping off and catching Kuroi across the back of the neck with a double axe handle. Kuroi falls foreword towards the middle of the ring a little more, though he still hasnt fallen.
Cole: Whats it going to take for AJ to get this guy down?
King: Maybe more than AJ has to offer.
AJ looks on, displeased with Kurois resilience thus far, but doesnt waste any time in continuing his assault. He runs to the middle rope, hopes onto it, uses it to spring himself onto the top rope, bounces off, and catches Kuroi in mid air with a springboard moonsault! Kuroi somehow manages to catch AJ, but the momentum sends him stumbling into the ropes, and he cant hold AJ, as the Flaming Dragon slides out of Kurois grasp, landing on his feet on the outside. Kuroi remains leaning his back into the ropes, breathing, and his face growing red with frustration, because of how quick AJ has been thus far. AJ promptly leans in, and grabs Kuroi by the ankles, trying to pull him to the outside of the ring, but Kuroi quickly yanks one foot away, before swinging it back and connecting on AJs nose. AJ leans away and holds his face in pain, as Kuroi turns around, and steps through the ropes to the ring apron. He takes a few steps backwards, then runs forward, but as he jumps off the apron, AJ dodges just in time to shove Kuroi into the cell wall, but STILL Kuroi only stumbles back into the ring apron. AJs temper gets the best of him, as he jumps forward, laying into Kuroi with left and right hands. He continues to swing his fists, until finally Kuroi blocks a punch, before headbutting AJ. He then grabs AJ by the hair, and as he lifts him off the ground he swings him around, literally throwing him into the steel stairs, which topple over on impact. He then stomps foreward, grabs AJ by his tights, and pulls him to his feet, before grabbing the back of his head, and slamming him into the steel cell. AJ is barely able to stand afterward, and Kuroi capitalizes on this, and quickly hoistes AJ up onto his left shoulder. He takes a few steps back, and then runs forward, slamming AJs face and upper body into the steel cell once again. He lets AJs body fall to the ground before stepping back.
Cole: My God, after all the punishment AJ dished out, he STILL cant get Kuroi down!
King: Yeah, but look how fast AJ is out after Kuroi took his turn to dish out the violence.
Kuroi looks around, then smiles, as he grabs the top part of the steel stairs, and lifts it over his head. He waits for AJ to get up, and then throws them right at his head! AJ ducks however, and the steps simply clash against the cell wall. AJ tries to run forward, but his attempts are in vain as Kuroi catches him across the face with a big boot. Kuroi picks AJ up and rolls him into the ring. Once Kuroi is in as well, he lays a few large stomps to AJs back, then runs off the ropes, leaps into the air, and drops a leg across AJs head. He gets up and gives a sadistic smile, satisfied with his work, as the fans boo. Picking up AJ, he pulls him in, then lifts him over his head with seemingly no effort in a gorilla press slam. But instead of dropping AJ to the mat, Kuroi just launches him over the top rope, into the steel wall, and thus right back out of the ring! With a menacing smile, he exits the ring, and grabs those steel stairs again. As the fans try to warn AJ, the Flaming Dragon climbs to his feet, just in time to see those stairs flying at him again! However once again AJ is quick enough to dodge them, and instead the stairs fly right into the cell door, knocking it off its hinges!
Cole: My God, those stairs just busted open the cell door!
King: That says a lot about how heavy those stairs are, and just how strong Kuroi is.
Kuroi pays no attention to what hes just done, and instead makes his way towards AJ again. AJ, on one knee, refuses to back down, and swings a fist that connects on the abdomen of Kuroi. AJ then swings his arm with an uppercut that hits Kuroi square in the jaw. As Kuroi leans back and holds his jaw, AJ grabs a hold of the ring apron and uses it to pull himself up. Kuroi runs after AJ, but AJ hops out of the way, and Kuroi finds himself on nothing but ring apron. When he turns around, hes met with a huge leaping calf kick, which sends him barreling into the ring post. AJ gets up, and looks to Kuroi, then looks down at the steel stairs which lie on the cell door just a few feet away. Instead he crouches down and lifts up the ring apron, and fishes around. Seconds later he emerges with a steel chair! Kuroi doesnt seem to realize this, or maybe he just doesnt care, as he walks towards AJ menacingly. AJ doesnt hesitate, and swiftly swings the chair, smacking it right up against Kurois forehead. He repeats this once more, before jamming the chair right into Kurois gut! He then takes the chair, and climbs onto the ring apron. He gets to the other end of the apron, before sprinting down it, leaping into the air, and positioning the chair right beneath him as he drops a leg drop onto the chair, right across the back of Kurois head! Finally this maneuver brings Kuroi straight face down into the ground, ushering in cheers from nearly all the fans in the arena!
Cole: He did it! AJ finally got Kuroi down!
King: Great, now all he has to do is BEAT him.
AJ gets up, but unluckily for him, Kuroi begins to get up at the same time. AJ swings his feet at Kurois legs, hitting him with sharp side kicks to each of his legs. This causes Kuroi to drop to his knees, as AJ picks up the chair again, runs foreward, and then dropkicks it into Kurois face. Kuroi remains kneeling for a moment, before finally collapsing backwards onto his back. This isnt good enough for AJ, who angrily gets up, mounts Kuroi, and begins to lay into him with left and right fists.
Cole: Yeah, get him AJ!
King: How many times is he going to punch him!
AJ continues to lay into Kuroi with brutal left and right fists. He doesnt stop, and finally the referee comes over and tries to pull AJ away. AJ growls at gets up, but as Kuroi sits up, AJ runs over and kicks him sharply right in the spine, warranting a howl from Kuroi. AJ steps over Kuroi to get closer to the cell door, then pulls Kuroi up. Out of nowhere, Kuroi rushes foreward with a burst of energy and tackles AJ to the outside of the cell, both men landing on the concrete near the ramp. Kuroi and AJ get up at the same time, but AJ is the first to begin to lay into his opponent with right and left hands. Kuroi soon begins to fight back as well, before grabbing AJ by the throat, and tossing him into the steel cage. As AJ slumps down, Kuroi walks over and picks up the steel steps for the third time. He raises them above his head, but as he walks forward, AJ is able to lean forward and low blow Kuroi! Kuroi drops the steel steps, falls to his knees beside them, and then falls to his back. AJ looks around, then he sees the cell door laying on the ground. He grabs it, and lays it across the steel steps, with the side nearest him sticking up in the air. Meanwhile, Kuroi climbs to his feet. As Kuroi is bent over the steel stairs trying to keep his balance, AJ hops up in the air, then jumps down on the cage door, causing the other side to fly up, cracking right across Kurois face! As Kuroi grabs his face in pain, AJ picks up the chair from nearby, runs forward, and as Kuroi turns around AJ swings it and connects directly with Kurois skull. AJ drops the chair, and screams IS THAT ALL YOUVE GOT? before turning around. He grabs onto the cage side, and begins to climb up the side of the cell!
Cole: Oh NO, you cant be serious! AJs climbing up to the top of the cell now!
King: But look at Kuroi, it looks like AJ has busted him open!
Indeed he has, as Kuroi sits up, blood begins to trickle down his forehead. He glares up at AJ, who stands on the top of the cell, holding his arms out as if to say Come get me. Kuroi gets up, and glares, before grabbing onto the links of the cell, and begins to climb. As he inches his way up to the top of the cage, Kuroi reaches up, trying to grab one of AJs feet. AJ steps back and shakes his head no. Kuroi stands there, clinging onto the cage, suspended about halfway up the cage, before angrily climbing all the way up. He climbs to his feet, and the fans cheer in excitement as AJ and Kuroi stare at each other from opposite sides of the cage ceiling. AJ then runs foreword, and begins to hit Kuroi with left and right hands. Kuroi fights back with right hands of his own. AJ knees Kuroi in the gut, before pulling him in, and swinging him back over his head with a T-Bone suplex! The fans go absolutely insane as AJ lays on the ceiling, holding his back which is clearly in a lot of pain from lifting the monster. Kuroi on the other hand almost begins to climb up to his feet already, his blood lust seemingly unstoppable. AJ gets up, and runs at Kuroi, but is put down with a big boot! Kuroi stops and picks up AJ by the hair, but at the last moment, AJ swings both arms upwards, low blowing Kuroi with both of his arms! Kuroi leans forward in pain, as AJ tries to get to his feet. He then pulls Kurois head in between his head, and the fans go insane as they know whats coming.
Cole: Youre not telling me AJ is going to
King: A Flaming Drop on the cage ceiling?
Cole: No, dont do it! The ceiling will give out, damnit!
Clearly AJ doesnt care, as he hooks both of Kurois arms, preparing for the move. But before he can swing Kuroi up, the monster stands up straight, lifting AJ up on his shoulders with him. Kuroi positions AJ, and then BAM!!! DEATH GRIP ON THE CELL CEILLING! NO!! As Kuroi nails the move on AJ, the ceiling to the cell gives out, and both men come flying down, THROUGH THE RING! EMTs immediately begin to rush down to the ring.
Cole: DEAD! They both have to be DEAD!
King: We dont need EMTs out here, we need two body bags.
As the EMTs swarm the ring they begin to attend to both AJ and Kuroi. Two EMTs grab Kuroi, and put their heads under his shoulders before hoisting him off the ground. They slowly help him out of the ring, and get to the cage door.
Cole: Neither of these guys can go on King, not after that. They need to call the match off.
King: For once, I agree.
As the other EMTs load AJ onto a stretcher, he swings his arms, not wanting to be rolled away. Meanwhile, Kuroi looks to the two EMTs that are holding him, seemingly out of it. Then out of nowhere, he knees one in the gut, before taking the other, and throwing him into the side of the cell! He then takes the first, lifts him up, and then drops him down onto the steel stairs outside of the cell! Clearly still with more in his tank, Kuroi walks around the ring inside the cell, where AJ is struggling to get off the stretcher. Kuroi lunges foreward, and before AJ can move, Kuroi clocks him in the face with a forearm. He then picks AJ up off the stretcher, and throws him into the apron, where AJ slumps down. Kuroi then makes short work of the other EMTs, taking them out with left and right hands. Kuroi then looks to AJ, and growls. He climbs onto the ring apron, pulling up AJ with him. AJ tries to fight back with some forearms, but his energy is pretty much spent, and the spot from earlier took almost all he has from him. Kuroi blocks one of AJs punches, then grabs him by the throat. The fans gasp as Kuroi lifts AJ up in the air, and chokeslams him off the ring apron, THROUGH the stretcher, with a Dark Halo! The stretcher lays in two torn pieces, as AJ lies right in the center. Kuroi lightly hops down from the ring apron, and pins AJ in the debris. The referee counts, as the fans remains silent. 1, 2, 3!
Winner via pinfall: Kuroi
As the fans sit in silence, Kuroi angrily gets up, and wipes some blood from his eyes, as his music hits. The cage is raised up, and more EMTs run down to try and help AJ. Kuroi stumbles off, and on the way up the ramp, he passes ring technicians who are going down to repair the ring. We then cut to a quick promo video for tonights main event.
*The camera cuts backstage where a medical team is rushing around the halls. The camera follows and soon we find a group of people standing around someone in the hallway. The camera gets in close and its revealed to be Mongo the Destroyer! Hes writhing in pain and covered in blood. Something very distinctive is that he is quite a distance from his wheelchair, which sits back in the office, which can be viewed through a door in the hallway that Mongo is currently lying in. A small group of people including Nelly Angel are standing around Congo the Destroyer, who looks mortified.*
I- I cant believe it, I came back here after my match and I found Mongo like this. Yeah, just like this, I called for help immediately. I hope hes alright, I hope hes not going to be out of commission for any length of time. Oh who could have claimed such a terrible vengeance on my dad!?*The EMTs get Mongo onto a gurney and begin to cart him out as the camera moves back to the ringside area*
All is quiet in the arena, when all of the sudden, a voice hits.
This is gonna suck...
Just then the sick opening guitar riffs of "Pain" by Dry Kill Logic hit, and the fans boo as Red Fusion saunters out from the back, and heads down the ramp, alone. He has a focused look on his face, as he walks up the steps and into the ring. He paces around for a few moments before take his "Revival" tee shirt off and tossing it into the crowd. As the song continues and the lights flicker, he stretches his arms back and forth, preparing for his match.
"Self High Five" hits the P.A. and Curtis Kanyon comes out of the entryway wearing a yellow wig, a black shirt, and blue jeans. He points to the crowd and then puts his arms up to form a diamond shape. He breaks them apart as pyros go off behind him and he yells "BANG!" Curtis then runs down to the ring and slides in. He circles around the ring backwards and points to the crowd. He then puts his arms up into the diamond shape again. He once again breaks them apart yelling "BANG!" He then awaits the match to start.
All Out War Match for the XHF European Championship
Red Fusion vs. "DDK" Curtis Kanyon (c)
Neither man wait for the bell to sound, as they both run up to each other and begin sending hard punches, neither man getting a clear advantage. Red Fusion just grabs Kanyon and pushing him towards the ropes hard enough that both men fall over the top rope and to the outside. Neither man stays down for long, as they get up and continue to trade blows with one another. DDK gets the early advantage by sending hard punches into the stomach of Fusion multiple amounts of times, and then sends a hard jab into the jaw of Fusion, sending him back a bit. DDK then runs towards Fusion and grabs him and lifts him up, and then drives him into the ring steps! Fusion hits the steps hard and DDK begins sending fists into his head before sending a hard kick into it. DDK grabs Fusion and lifts him up and attempts to toss him into the ring post, but Fusion reverses it and sends DDK head first into the post! DDK hits it hard, landing on the padding, and Fusion not laying off him as he lays some kicks into his body. Red Fusion rolls DDK off the padding and then grabs it and pulls it off, revealing the concrete. He then grabs DDK and lifts him up to his feet, and sets him up for a suplex and lifts him up, driving him back first onto the concrete! DDK hits it hard and screams in pain, but Fusion doesnt let go of the hold, and rolls onto his feet, attempting another one. DDK is able to hook his leg around Fusions, making it impossible to lift him up. Kanyon sends some hard punches into the ribs of Fusion and then shoves Fusion, sending Fusion back first into the railing. Kanyon doesnt wait for long though, as he runs towards Fusion and gores him, breaking through the railing and into the front row!
Fusion and Kanyon land on a few fans as the others begin to scatter away, still watching Fusion and DDK trading hard punches with one another. DDK takes advantage as he begins to send knees into the body of Fusion, allowing himself to take a few steps back. He shoves a fan off of his seat and then grabs a chair and tosses it at Fusion; the chair ricocheting off of his skull! Red Fusion falls to the floor and begins crawling away as DDK follows him, sending hard punches in his back each time before grabbing him and tossing him into the concrete area, away from the fans. Fusion begins to climb up to his feet but DDK runs and drives his boot into his face, sending Fusion back down. Curtis grabs Fusion and lifts him up to his feet and places him in position for the Vicious Spiral, but Fusion sends punches into the face of Curtis, forcing him to release the hold. Fusion turns around and Curtis goes for an attack, but Fusion grabs him and lifts him up, driving his spine into the concrete with the Fiery Fall! Red Fusion is on one knee before he lifts himself up and walks towards the fans, who run away, and grabs a chair. Fusion wastes no time into driving the chair into the body of Curtis, each shot heard around the arena, before he sets it up at the feet of Curtis. Red Fusion bends over and grabs Curtis, and places him in position for the Supernova, but Curtis sends elbows, forcing Red Fusion off of him. Curtis then grabs Fusion and pulls himself down with a downward spiral, causing Fusion to land against the seated chair! Fusion holds his forehead after hitting the chair, as Curtis gets up and grabs the chair, and then wraps it around the neck of Fusion! Curtis moves Fusion into a sitting position and drives his foot into the back of Fusion, and then screams at the referee to ask if Fusion quits. The referee brings the microphone to the mouth of Fusion who replies
: Fuck off!Curtis lets go of the chair thus dropping Fusion to the floor, and Fusion tries to crawl way. He crawls closer to the steps where the next level is, but Curtis runs and grabs Fusion, and slams him against the wall next to the steps. Curtis doesnt let go of Fusion, and instead begins to send him into the wall a few more times, sending the big man down. Fusion falls on the steps, only thing holding him up is the railing. Kanyon begins climbing up the steps and grabs Fusion, and brings him up to the steps, and then threw the crowd. Fusion begins walking away from Curtis trying to get a breath of fresh air, but once he gets enough space away from him Curtis runs and drives a forearm into the back of his head, sending Fusion down. Curtis stands over Fusion and looks around and suddenly turns into DDK, repeatedly screaming BANG! He grabs Fusion and holds him up, and sets him up to his feet, his back against the edge of the next level. DDK kicks Fusion in the stomach and then goes for a hard forearm, but Fusion ducks and then turns around and sends a hard fist into DDK, sending him stumbling back. DDK is at the edge and is unable to balance himself and falls off the second level, but grabs onto the top, preventing him from crashing into the floor below! Fusion sees this and immediately begins stomping the feet of DDK, but DDK holds on for dear life, not wanting to fall into the hard concrete. Fusion walks over to a fan and takes the beer from his hand, and then looks at DDK and then the can. He drinks some of the beer and then walks over and throws the glass bottle down, shattering into DDKs head, causing DDK to crash into the level below!
DDK hits the concrete hard, the glass covering his face, as Fusion slowly walks over to the steps and down them, and over to DDK. He screams at the referee who just gives him the microphone, and Fusion walks and stands over DDK.
: DDK, if you dont want to continue to have every bone broke in your body you know what two words you have to say so say them you son of a bitch.Fusion places the microphone to the mouth of DDK and bends over to get in his face.
: BANG!Some glass shoots up into Fusions face causing him to scurry back and dropping the microphone. Fusion is heated, having a cut from the glass as he grabs DDK and lifts him up to his feet and lifts him up to one shoulder, as he charges the ring. He runs through the hole in the railing and drives DDK back first into the side of the ring, and then continues to send hard punches into the head of DDK until DDK falls to his knees. Fusion finishes the attack and then walks over to the time keepers table, where he takes the ring bell. He holds it up over his head and goes to hit DDK with it, but DDK leaps up and drives his shoulder into the stomach of Fusion, causing Fusion to drop the bell and drop to one knee. DDK gets to the ring bell first and swings it, the bell sounding off against Fusions skull! Fusion falls lifeless onto the padding as DDK turns back into Curtis, throwing down the ring bell and grabbing Fusion and lifting him up before rolling him on top of the english announce table. Curtis sends hard forearms into the chest of Red Fusion before climbing up on top of the table. With all the luck in the world the table doesnt crack under the pressure, as Curtis Kanyon stands up on top of the table and has Red Fusions head, placing it between his legs. Curtis grabs the waist of Red Fusion and lifts him up, and then drives him through the table with a sit-out Piledriver!
The announce table is broken into pieces, with both Fusion and Kanyon laying on top of them. The blood from earlier is spreading further down Fusions face, as Kanyon waves the referee to walk towards him, where he snatches away the microphone.
: Listen you son of a bitchI dont have all night to come and kill you, so SAY IT DAMMIT. SAY THE DAMN WORDS.Kanyon sets the microphone against the mouth of Fusion, who doesnt say anything. He looks up and leans his head back, and then spits blood into the face of Kanyon! Kanyon lets go of Fusion and the microphone and wipes the blood off of him, smiling sadistically at the scene before grabbing Fusion and lifting him up, and placing him against the Spanish announce table. Kanyon punches Fusion in the chest before taking a few steps back, getting enough space to gain momentum for the Gore. He runs towards Fusion in full force, but Red Fusion ducks down and lifts up Kanyon onto his shoulders and immediately pushes him off with a death valley driver, sending him through the Spanish announce table!
Fusion falls to one knee as Kanyon lays in the carnage of the announce table, allowing Fusion to crawl to the ring. He reaches under, and pulls out some fiber glass insulation and slides it into the ring, and then follows after he slides in some barbwire, a two by four, and a table. Kanyon begins moving, while inside of the ring Red Fusion sets up the table near a corner of the ring, and, even without gloves, grabs the barbwire, setting it on top of the table. The blood begins to pour out of Fusions hands, but he seems determined, not willing to let it stop him from spreading it on top of the table. Kanyon is finally able to get into the ring, and Fusion turns his attention towards him and grabs the fiberglass insulation, and winds up and swings towards Kanyon, but Kanyon is able to roll out of the way. Kanyon gets up to his feet and runs towards Fusion, but like hes playing baseball, he swings the fiberglass insulation and it shatters off Kanyons head! Kanyon just falls to the mat, as the debris of the shot spreads all over the ring. Fusion doesnt hesitate to lift up Curtis Kanyon and placing him between his legs and walking towards the table. Fusion tries to lift up Kanyon with the Phoenix Bomb, but Kanyon is able to hold himself down, and then low blows Fusion. Fusion lets go of Kanyon and Kanyon lifts him up and places him onto his shoulders, and then runs and drives him into the corner across from the table. Kanyon holds Fusion in the upside down position, and ties his feet on the top turnbuckle for the tree of woe. Kanyon falls out of the ring to walk over and he grabs a chair, and tosses it into the ring. Before he gets back into the ring he goes under the ring and grabs a baseball bat, and then slides into the ring. Fusion is unable to get out of the position he is in, as Kanyon gets the chair and places it in front of Fusions face. Curtis Kanyon looks at the baseball bat and then swings at the chair, driving it into the face of Fusion!
Curtis drives it repeatedly into the chair forcing Fusions face to hit the chair, as Fusion falls down to the mat. The bat breaks and is deemed useless, causing Kanyon to toss it out of the ring. Kanyon grabs Fusion and drags him into the center of the ring and grabs him a reverse front facelock. Kanyon grabs Fusions tights and lifts him up going for the Vicious Spiral, but Fusion holds himself down and lands back on his feet. He turns his body around to face Kanyon, and then shoves him into the ropes. When Kanyon bounces against the ropes and gets near Fusion, Fusion grabs him in position, and then drives him into the mat with the Supernova! Both men lay on the mat next to one another, each man looking like theyre barely able to move. Fusion is the first, as he crawls over and grabs the two by four, and then walks towards the table. He walks under it and to the corner next to the table, and begins climbing up it. As he reaches all the way up Kanyon too is moving, as he grabs the steel chair. Fusion sits on the top turnbuckle, turned towards Kanyon, as he takes a deep breath. Kanyon reaches all the way to his feet and Fusion stands up looking to jump off the turnbuckle, but Kanyon is quicker as he tosses the chair; hitting Red Fusion in the head!
Fusion is barely unable to stay balanced, as he begins to look woozy while standing there. Kanyon walks over and under the table to get to Fusion, whom he punches in the stomach. Kanyon begins to climb up the turnbuckle facing Fusion, and he grabs his opponent, setting him up in position for the Piledriver off the top rope. Kanyon tries to pull Fusion off but Fusions able to hold himself down, using his strength to get out. Kanyon throws a punch to the face of Fusion, but Fusion, still holding the two by four from earlier, swings it; half of it breaking against Kanyons head! Kanyon is lifeless as he falls back, and falls through the barbed wire table! The barbwire sticks and pierces the body of Kanyon, who is barely able to move. Each time he moves his hand the barbwire follows him its so deep, as Fusion gets off the turnbuckle, and walks over to the head of Kanyon. Kanyon, laying in the bed of barbwire begins to move up and Fusion grabs his head, and using his broken piece of barbwire, stabs it into Kanyons forehead!
Fusion is holding up Kanyons head as he begins rotating the piece of barbwire, trying to get it deeper into the head of Kanyon! Kanyon screams in an extreme amount of pain; blood is gushing out of his head uncontrollably. Fusion screams at the referee, and tells him to ask Kanyon if he quits. Kanyon holds off, but the words finally come out of his mouth.
: I QUIT!Winner and the NEW XHF European Champion: The Notorious R.E.D Fusion
Fusion lets go of the barbwire, which is almost drenched in blood. Kanyon faints to the mat, as medical assistance almost comes immediately. Fusion holds his arms up in the air, the blood dripping down his face. The ring announcer hands Fusion the European Championship, which he holds up in the air, and goes on the second turnbuckle. He holds the championship up in the air, as he watches Kanyon in a literal pool of blood and barbwire, splinters on his face. Fusion rests the championship on his shoulder and screams at the fans, finally claiming the European Championship.
The camera went backstage once again. Tara stood outside of the arena for a moment now, just trying to think about the current situation going on this evening. She couldnt even get Spike Kane to take a break from watching those matches, and allow him to relax for the evening, at least until the match was to come up it had her slightly angry with Spike, but a little angry with herself because she also knew that escaping the security of the locker room left her vulnerable to anyone that had wanted to talk to her. Namely; The Revival. Shaking her head a little, she was surprised to not run into anyone out there but it was getting rather chilly outside, so she went back in through the doors taking a couple steps down the empty hallway before feeling someones hand on her shoulder.
: "Tara."These were the only words that Charlie was able to say before Tara had gotten just out of his reach by taking a short leap forward. Although she was now in a dead end of the hallway, Charlie continued to advance wondering why Tara seemed to be scared about his appearance because usually she doesnt seem intimidated at all, but now she seemed completely frightened by him. She was breathing heavily, not wanting to say anything to him.
: "Tara, Im not here to hurt you. Trust me."Tara shook her head a little continuing to walk backwards but not letting her gaze escape from him. Her fingernails had slid gently along the wall, since she couldnt tell where she was walking and even though her hand was on the wall, she stumbled a bit.
: "Charlie, please just go Ive given my answer to you so many times now, along with the rest of the Revival. I just dont want to be part of it!" : "But we need you, Tara. Youve got to understand that I wouldnt be coming after you all the time unless it was the truth! We---the Revival---needs you."Tara kept shaking her head, now going back against the back wall. There were a couple of things along the wall that carried stuff for storage just incase they were needed for the show, and Charlie had blocked the only way that Tara could get out and that was the exact way that she came in. Both of her hands went flat against the wall almost half expecting there to be a secret tunnel, but there was none it was a completely solid wall.
: "Just give me a chance to talk with you about it. And just listen to it." : "Ive heard it enough times, Charlie. I dont want to hear it anymore its bullshit."These words angered Charlie, as he lunged forward preparing to strike Tara, but had stopped himself sensing that Tara wasnt ready to even stop him from hitting her. He knew that there was something about her at this time something bothering her that had not let her be herself.
: "Surely, you know what Im talking about."He said while his hands had trapped Tara against the wall. There was still little room for her to be able to duck out of it, but she chose not to.
: "About Spike Kane being one of these New Blood people that are just looking out for themselves. Not for the veterans. Part of the group that is going to be the death of the XHF. He has no time for you, Tara."Tara sighed, while trying to shake her head. She knew that it was hard to try and deny this, because Spike was staying focused with the match that he had this night against Reckless Jack he was staying focused with everything that he had to do within the company. They had a couple meetings with the wedding planner, and had still slept in the same bed, and even had lunch on one occasion within the week. But that was it! Charlie tilted his head slightly, while Tara was avoiding eye contact with Charlie, but Charlie kept searching for her eyes.
: "Theyre the death of the XHF, and with you embracing them, theyre going to be the death of you."Charlies hand had now come over Taras, but she didnt seem to be resisting now. Her other hand actually went to Charlies, as he kept her hands held against the wall her eyes still failed to look at Charlie. But after a couple moments of them in this position, she tried pushing him back.
: "I need to see how Spikes doing." : "Youre not going to Spike, Tara. I know this, dont try and play me for a fool"While Tara was still trying to push Charlie back, he pushed her back against the wall with his hands still over hers. Their bodies were pressed together, and Taras eyes finally met with Charlies as she was breathing heavily and biting her lip. She allowed this for just a couple seconds before trying to push back, but Charlie didnt step down and so while the two were at the wall their bodies were rubbing against each others, and Taras breath got a bit heavier allowing her eyes to fall away again. The body rubbing seemed to be a complete accident, but it resumed for a little while before slowing down. They were getting a little bit closer each second, and had finally nearly touched their lips together. Taras lips brushed against Charlies before both of them were now breathing heavily and Taras eyes were closed trying not to look at the gaze from Charlie.
: "You have a match, Charlie."She said in a low, but gentle tone. Charlie had pulled back, as Tara was trying to but was at the wall so it made it hard for her to go back any further Charlie nodded his head, knowing that he had this upcoming match, but was now a little bit nervous because of what occurred back here. He turned away from Tara, as she stayed at the wall with an empty expression, and it was now her who seemed to be confused about all of this. The camera went back out to the arena.
All the lights in the arena are shut off, as the intro to Lupe Fiascos Spaze Out echo throughout the arena. Green sparks suddenly fall from the ceiling all around the arena, creating a rain effect. The logo of The Punisher is lowered over the XtremeTron, covering it completely, as smoke emerges from the floor. The Higher Power Charlie Velez walks up the steps that are under the ramp, wearing a hooded trench coat, as he reaches the top and stands there, looking down at the floor. After a brief moment Charlie Velez lifts his head slowly, and begins to walk down the ramp, smoke covering the whole floor. Charlie Velez reaches the button of the ramp, and he stops, glaring around the arena full of XHF fans. Charlie looks up to the sky as the hood falls off his head. Charlie falls to his knees and holds his arms out and gives a tribute to his mentor Tatsumi Matsuzaka, as green firework type pyros shoot out in front of the XtremeTron. As The Punisher is on his knees his eyes are closed, he is mouthing the words from the Xtremist Bible. When hes finishing his words he slowly crosses his arms to form an X, as the smoke is beginning to clear from the arena. The pyro rain continues to fall, as Charlie Velez then walks up the ring steps, and then goes into the ring. Charlie Velez walks towards the turnbuckle across from him, and climbs up to the second turnbuckle. While Charlie stares at the camera, he begins to slide his hooded trench coat off of him. The ring announcer takes the hooded trench coat from out of the ring, and Charlie Velez then walks down the turnbuckle. Charlie looks at the fans and crosses his arms creating the Xtremist logo once again and holds it to his chest. He then turns his attention towards the entranceway, awaiting his opponent.
Cole: Heres the leader of the Revival, hoping to end the career of Hardcore Harry once and for all.
**The lights in the arena go out. Just as the fans go silent, music can start being heard from the arena's sound system. As the thumping of the song beings, the lights start to flash with it. The song then begins to pick up it's pace as words can be heard along with instrumental. Just then a figure emerges from behind the curtains. He begins walking down the ramp, walking at a slow pace so he can feed on the energy given to him from the song and fans.**
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking buttler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now, the pattern called "must we"
Just because the son has come
Jesus,wont you fucking whistle ?
Something but the past and done
Jesus, wont you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done
**Harold stops halfway in the middle of the entrance ramp. As he begins looking to his left. Shaking his head in acceptance from the fans. Then he turns to his right. Again shaking his head in appreciation to the fans cheering him on. Then he turns his head back to the ring and beings walking toward the ring again, taking his time before he reaches the ring steps**
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a centre in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
And why?
**As he finally gets on the apron. He walks the ledge alittle before putting his left leg over the top and getting in the ring. He stands in the middle of the ring, soaking in all the energy given from the fans. As his theme song continues to play on the sound system**
I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a centre in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
**Harold puts his hand on the top rope and pulls back. Then begins pounding on his chest and pulls forward, releasing his arm in the air. Simultaneously all four turnbuckles explode with pyro, that nearly deafens the front row of fans.**
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
And why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
And why?
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
I want it when I want it
**Harold retreats back to his corner, waiting for the match to get underway.**
Cole: And heres his opponent, no stranger to matches as big and brutal as this.
Buried Alive Match
Hardcore Harry vs. "The Higher Power" Charlie Velez
As the bell rings, Velez and Harry stand across from each other, both taking glances to the top of the ramp, where down to the side of it is a black tombstone, an empty coffin deep in soil and a shovel. Harry grins and Velez looks spitefully at him. They both move forward cautiously and Harry swings a punch at Velez. Velez jumps back out of the way of Harrys shots as the Tokyo crowd cheer Harry forward. Harry puts his hands up to offer Charlie Velez a test of strength, and Velez moves forward as if to accept but instead kicks Harry in the gut and knees him in the side of the head as he hunches over. Harry falls to the mat and Velez begins stomping away on his head, then taps his own head to the crowd to point out his brains. The crowd boo as Harry begins to rise to his feet. As he does, Velez runs at him and hits him with a leaping enzuigiri! Harry isnt even knocked down however, instead he staggers back into the ropes. Velez gets up and dropkicks Harry in the face, sending him over the top rope to the floor below! Velez stands in the middle of the ring and raises his hands in an X, much to the annoyance of the crowd.
Cole: Its not as easy to get Hardcore Harry down as it looks.
King: The crowd arent on Velezs side here.
Harry begins to stir on the outside and Velez makes a run through the ropes with a suicide dive! However, Harry drops back to the floor out of the way and Velez connects head first with the ramp! The crowd are on their feet already in this match as Harry grabs Velez and throws him back into the ring. Harry rolls in after him and begins to stomp away on the head of Velez, then falls elbow-first into his chest. Velez rolls around in pain as the 325lb Harry gets back to his feet. Harry grabs Velez and lifts him above his head almost effortless, then bends a knee and drops Velez on top of it in a backbreaker! Harry smiles as he kneels beside Velez on the mat, grabs his hair with his left hand and punches away at his face with right. After four or five shots Harry slaps Velez and screams in his face Is this the monster you wanted?. Harry picks up Velez and continues his assault, grabbing him in a bear hug and lifting the leader of the Revival off his feet. Velez tries to fight out of it with stiff shots to the head of Harry but Harry simply tosses Velez back to the mat.
Cole: Look at the power advantage of Harry, King.
King: Hes in control here, thats for sure.
Harry gives Velez a moment to get back to his feet and pushes him into the corner, slapping his chest with hard frying-pan like hands. He grabs the head of Velez in a front face lock, then moves out of the corner a little before dropping to the mat with a modified DDT. Harry mounts Velez after the move and begins hammering away at his face. Velez tries to manoeuvre his way out but there appears nothing he can do as Harry pokes him in the eye before getting to his feet. Velez remains on the mat and Harry rolls out of the ring and points to underneath the ring, much to the pleasure of the crowd. He rustles around underneath it before pulling out a sack which is tied up at the top, which he throws into the ring. He also brings out a pair of brass knucks which he puts on his fist before rolling back in the ring. Velez is back on his feet by now and runs at Harry as soon as he is upright in the ring but Harry nails him with the brass knucks, knocking Velez to the canvas immediately!
Cole: What a stiff shot.
King: I think hes bleeding Cole.
The camera zooms into the head of Velez and we can see the blood trickle down his face. Harry throws the knucks out of the ring and covers Velez, but the referee reminds him that the match cannot be won by pin fall! Harry shakes his head, knowing that Velez is dazed, and grabs him to his feet. Harry whips Velez off the ropes, but as Velez comes back he dives into the knee of Harry with a dropkick! Harry falls to the mat as a bloody Velez gets back to his feet, trying to mount some offence of his own. Velez pulls back on the top rope for leverage and uses his legs to push Harry out of the ring and to the mat below, before climbing to the top turnbuckle and waiting for Harry to rise. Harry uses the announce table to help him get back to his feet, then turns and takes a couple of steps towards the apron when Velez flies off the top turnbuckle with a flying cross body on the outside!
Cole: Some of the Velez of old here, what an athlete.
Harry lands back on the mat and Velez lands on top of him. Velez gets to his feet and looks around him. He grabs the timekeeper off his seat and grabs his chair, folds it up and begins to go to work on Harry. Velez strikes him multiple times in the head and grabs the hair of Harry, dropping the chair pulling him to his feet. Harry punches Velez in the gut to make him let go then attempts to nail the head of Velez off the steel steps. Velez slams his hands on the steps to block and elbows Harry in the gut, before ramming him head first into the ring post! Harrys head and hands lean on the steps to keep himself up, his head now cut open also. Velez picks the chair back up and waits behind Harry. Harry gets up off of the steps and turns round into a hard chair shot from Velez, opening up his wound further! Harry doesnt fall, so Velez jabs the chair into the ribs of Harry, making him hunch over. Velez tosses the chair away and pushes hunched over Harry on top of the announce table! Velez goes on top of the announce table himself and picks up Harry into an inverted face lock, then spins around and drives Harry through the table elbow-first with The Side Effect!
Cole: What a move!
King: Our table! Our God damn table!
The announce table collapses as both men lie on top of the debris, with the crowd chanting Holy Shit! Holy Shit!. It takes a moment for either man to move, and Velez is the first to do so, using the ramp to help himself up. Velez looks into the crowd, the blood trickling down his body, before walking over to the ring and leaning on the ring apron for a moment to regain some composure. Harry is very slow in getting back to his feet, and as soon as he gets to his knees Velez runs over and knees him in the side of the head. Velez begins kneeing Harry repeatedly as well as delivering hard shots to his head from both hands. Harry collapses flat out on top of the debris once more as an aggressive looking Velez jumps on the back of his head, looking determined to finish this match. Velez grabs the arm of Harry and drags him round the side of the ring and then to the opposite side of the ring than the announce table. Velez rolls into the ring and grabs the tied up sack then rolls back out and begins to drag Harry up towards the top of the ramp, looking on at the open casket. Velez then stops and unties the sack, scattering thumb tacks all over the ramp! He tosses the empty sack to the side as Harry begins to stir, and Velez allows Harry to get to his feet. As he does, Velez kicks him in the gut and jumps into the air, grabbing the head of Harry for the Closure, but Harry instinctively pushes Velez off him and Velez lands back first onto the thumb tacks which he set up on the ramp!
Cole: The plan backfired that time.
King: Thats going to hurt in the morning, Ill tell you.
Harry collapses on the ramp too, his face now a crimson mask. The crowd are on their feet, chanting for Harry to get back on to his while others chant XHF! XHF! XHF!. Velez lets out a loud groan on the tacks as he rolls off of them, his back shining against the camera from all metal tacks stuck into his back. Harry and Velez return to their feet around the same time, Velez in agony as he tries to pull some of the tacks from his back. Harry advances towards Velez and sends a hard right to his temple, forcing Velez back towards the XtremeTron. Velez begins to punch back, each man exchanging shots until the bigger and heavier Harry begins to get an advantage with a hard right. Harry then knees Velez in the gut and pushes the head of Velez between his own thighs. Harry grabs the midsection of Velez and lifts him into the air for a powerbomb on the steel, but Velez reverses with a hurricanrana and both men thud against the ramp!
Cole: This has been a brutal match from the offset.
King: I think both of them will be ready to be buried after this match.
Velez grabs on to part of the stage and pulls himself up, using his hand to keep the blood out of his eyes. He breathes heavily for a second and then looks down at Harry, before wiping his hand on the bloody head of the XHF legend and wiping Harrys blood on his chest! The crowd boo and Velez simply shakes his head at them. Velez drags Harry over to the staging at the XtremeTron and sits him on a horizontal bar about 3 feet off the ground. Velez then looks around, considering whether he should attempt whatever he is thinking or not. Seemingly having made his decision, Velez grabs the legs of Harry and tucks his own head next to Harrys then moves back in position for Final Destination! The crowd all rise to their feet as the legs of Velez wobble, not able to take the weight of Harry, so Velez simply moves back as far as he can, realizing he will not be able to jump in the air or hold Harry much longer, allows himself to fall back off the ramp and into the staging beside the casket while still holding Harry in the Final Destination position!
Cole: My God.
Both men land through multiple tables which are tangled in wires and other equipment and both men lie next to each other, both breathing heavily beside the open casket. Neither man moves as the XHF official climbs down to check if both men are OK, but can do nothing to stop the match until one man has been Buried Alive. The crowd are raising the roof on the Tokyo Dome but are looking on to see if either man moves. Harrys eyes are closed and he appears to be knocked out cold, while Velez stares up at the sky, unable to move. Velez turns his head to see Harry lying unconscious and musters all his strength to get to his knees and then his feet. He staggers back as soon as he rises but manages to keep himself standing while he tries to regain some strength to finish off the match. Velez grabs the arm of Harry to try to drag him to the coffin but Harry doesnt even budge. Suddenly, Velez looks over to behind the main staging and sees a tractor-like vehicle for putting the mud on top of the casket. Velez staggers over to it and enters. He changes gears and begins driving the tractor round to where Harry is. However, instead of digging up the mud, he uses it to lift Harry and turns the tractor around, dropping Harry into the casket! Velez doesnt even close the casket, but instead immediately begins using the vehicle to fill up the hole, the camera panning round to show the mud mounting on top of the lifeless Harry. The bell rings to declare Velez the winner and Velez staggers out of the tractor and grabs a book from behind the tombstone, then hoists it in the air to reveal the Xtremeist Bible! Velez then collapses to the floor, clutching the bible to his chest as the paramedics come out to check on Charlie Velez.
Winner: Charlie Velez
Cole: A massive victory for the Revival here.
King: I think it took a lot out of both men tonight Cole.
Cole: That it did, but I dont think we will be seeing Hardcore Harry for a long time in an XHF ring.
Charlie raises his arms in victory as Harry is buried under the dirt and the refs check on him, trying to dig him out. Venom and Red Fusion come out of the entryway to Charlie's side and raise his arms. Fusion hands "The Higher Power" a mic.
: As it was written, Hardcore Harry has been buried alive. But as it also is written, that is not enough. This man has risen from the dead before, he must rise from the dead to be buried again!Fusion jumps into the tractor and starts to dig up the grave pit and digs until we see Harry's arm and Venom pulls out his limp body. Red jumps out and helps pull Harry out of the pit. just then seven characters appear on the Xtreme-Tron cycling through numbers. They slowly stop on 6655321 as these words are said over the P.A.:
You're sentenced to 6 months without perole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge, I stand alone.
"I Stand Alone" by Godsmack hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains and walks toward the grave, a chair in one hand and a mic in the other. Red looks ready to fight, but Charlie holds him back. Mr. X stops in front of them and raises the mic. He smirks.
: You know something Charlie, you we're right. I can't avoid this war. I just can't. And I can't get to Mongo with all the protection of the XHF around him to throw at me. You're right, I need to be in this war, I need to help rip the XHF apart to get to Mongo. You were right. And the way you decimated Hardcore Harry, that helped show me just where I belong in this war. Now lift that son of a bitch up!Cole: Damnit, Harry's been through enough!
King: Apparently not.
Mr. X drops the mic and grabs the chair with both hands. Venom and Fusion hold Harry up by the arms as Velez smiles. He raises an arm up and gives a thumbs down. Mr. X hoists the chair over his head and smashes it with a thunderous sound down onto the skull of Venom! Before Red can react, he swings the chair over into his head! Harry falls to the dirt floor as Velez looks shocked. Velez charges at Mr. X and X shoves the top of the chair into Velez's gut. Mr. X lifts Velez onto his shoulders and delivers an X'ed Out, throwing Velez right into the grave! Mr. X stands up and stares down at Velez, laughing maniacally. He grabs Harry and lifts him up onto his feet. He drags Harry along with him to the back as the Revival is left laying.
King: What the? But Mr. X was supposed to join the Revival! Explain this to me?
Cole: I can't. I don't even want to know Mr. X's thought process.
"I Walk Alone" by Saliva hits the PA. Announcer: "Now approching the ring, from Washington D.C., weighing in at 252 pounds, Joe Everyman". All of the lights in the arena turn green, blue, and white. Joe and Maria walk from the curtain and stage on the stage. Joe then puts his arms to the side, and then brings them down. As he does, blue flames shot from the front of the stage. Joe and Maria then walk toward the ring as short spikes of fire shot up. Joe then slides into the ring as Maria walks up the steps. Joe then splits the ropes as Maria gets in. Joe then points toward the stage as the blue fire shots again.
"Metalingus" blasts over the PA system. Red, green, and blue lights fill the arena. Scotty comes from the curtain and runs down the ramp. He then slides through the apron and bottom rope. He stands up and puts both arms in the air. He then stands in the cornor and waits.
Cole: Here comes Joe Everyman and Scotty Callaway.
King: I think they have a solid chance of winning. Then getting killed by Curtis Bauer.
The lights begin to flash as "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC hits the speakers. Ron Gibson and Curtis Kanyon emerge from the entryway. Ron looks out to everyone at attendance as Curtis pounds his chest with his fists and then raises his arms in the air. Mr. Slave comes out behind them, starts slapping the hands of several fans, including some black folks. Ron Gibson sees this and slaps Mr. Slave across the face, then grabs him by the head and yells at him. He lets go and continues walking down the ramp. Displaying a look of disgust, as he sees people of all races booing his ass. He ignores them because of who they are and continues walking down the ramp ever so slowly. Starring into thr crowd. Curtis walks alongside him, screaming about how he's going to rip his opponents tonight in half. Mr. Slave just follows them along. Ron and Curtis enter the ring. Curtis climbs one corner and pounds his chest again, showing off to the audience. Ron gets up on the opposite corner and yells obscenties at certain fans. They then meet in their corner and talk strategy until the match begins.
Cole: And here are one of the longest reigning XHF Tag Champs in history.
King: Will this reign continue or will they be defeated by the likes of Everyman and Callaway? Im not sure Dirty Deals chances as this is Curtis Kanyons second Pay Per View in a row where he is competing twice.
XHF Tag Team Championship Match
Joe Everyman and Scotty Callaway vs. Dirty Deal (Curtis Kanyon and Ron Gibson)
We take a look at the ring as both teams are inside. One wrestler of each team is in there: Ron Gibson of Dirty Deal, and Scotty Callaway of Callaway and Everyman. The bell rings, and out comes Ron with a clothesline. He knocks Callaway down the ground, and begins kicking Callaway to the ground a few times before backing away for a second. He begins laughing for a second. He looks over to Kanyon, watching him give a thumbs up. He then looks away from the ring to find Slave. He is found talking to some ladies in the crowd. The girl looks at Ron. Slave sees this and looks back at Ron, beginning to nervously smile. Ron shakes his head, and gets out of the ring. He walks towards him, and slaps him. He gets back to the ring, but doesnt find Callaway then does. He tags Everyman in. Ron runs to the corner to try to get Callaway, but Everyman hits him, staggering him for a moment. Callaway gets behind Ron, as soon as Everyman hits on the turnbuckle. Callaway hits a Hurracanrana, and as Ron Gibson goes down, Everyman hits a bulldog onto his head. The crowd cheers, and Everyman raises his hands to please the fans.
Cole: Yes! Go faces!
King: .Uh, Cole. Thats breaking kayfabe. You mean good guys.
Ron struggles, but manages to get up. He glares at him, pissed. He points a finger at Everyman, and grabs him by the arm, after getting towards him. He throws him to the ropes. He comes back with a dropkick to the FACE! Ron Gibson gets pissed. He gets up and just slaps Everyman, who falls to the floor just like that. Ron sighs, and just shakes his head. He looks like he given up, just because things are so crazy. He doesnt give up, but hes letting Curtis work this a while. He walks up to CK2 and tags him in. While all this happens, Everyman gets up. Kanyon runs inside with his arm out for a clothesline, but Everyman shocks him. He shocks everyone inside the arena, hell, the world. He hits Curtis Kanyon with a GORE! He goes for the pin: One Two Kickout! As said before, the crowd is pretty more shocked shitless. Joe Everyman gets up, and throws around his right arm in a Dang gesture. Curtis Kanyon rolls out of the ring while holding his stomach. He begins swearing to Everyman.
Cole: Did he Did he Is he fucking suicidal!?
King: He gored Curtis Kanyon, he is a constant target by Curtis Bauer. Not only is he a dead man, he must hate the name Curtis.
He looks at Ron, who uses a shooing gesture to the ring, obviously wanting Curtis to beat the shit out of Everyman, and Callaway. Curtis gets inside the ring, and glares at Everyman. Everyman walks towards Curtis, and slaps him across the face. That took a lot of nerve. Curtis looks over to Everyman. And smiles? He extends a hand, and Everyman happily accepts the handshake! .Curtis grabs Everymans arm and throws him to the ropes. He comes back to CK2 hitting him with a big boot! Curtis Kanyon, Ron Gibson and Slave laugh, and do a triple high five. Ron and Curtis both realized they touched a black man, and both kick him in the face. Curtis turns around, and finds Everyman beginning to crawl towards Callaway. Callaway is stretching his arm out, and are so close to get the tag. Curtis sees this and runs over towards Everyman. As he runs, he falls down to his knees in a way where he slides. From Everymans back to the back of his head. Everymans face is slammed to the floor. Curtis pulls Everyman to the center of the ring, sitting on his back, and slapping the back of his head.
Cole: Dirty Deal is so Dirty.
King: I love what they do.
The referee forces Curtis off of him, and so he does. Curtis remembers that Ron is pissed at Everyman, and he brings him to his corner, and tags in Ron. Ron gets in, and they both help bring Everyman to his feet. Curtis and Ron look at each other then smile. FILTHY COMPROMISE! WAIT! Everyman steps out of the way! Ron lariats Curtis and Curtis gores Ron! They both fall down, and Everyman, out of energy, falls on top of Ron for the pin: One Two. Thre- The referee stops the count as Slave tugs on Rons wrestling tights. Too bad he didnt do it to help him. He pulled a candy bar out of his pocket, and begins eating it. Ron being almost unconscious and all, cant do much to stop him at the moment.
Cole: Everyman almost won!
King: Awww, the little fella was just hungry!
Everyman begins limping towards the corner, but Ron Gibson begins to climb to his feet somehow. After all this punishment, neither of these two are giving up. Ron Gibson grabs Everyman before he can reach Callaway, and puts him into a full nelson. Ron Gibson goes for a Full Nelson suplex, but Everyman lands on his feet. Ron Gibson turns around, and Everyman hits him with a roundhouse kick, Chuck Norris style: Except, its not full-Chuck-Norris-style because if it was, Ron would be dead. Instead, hes just knocked to the ground. Everyman tags in Scotty Callaway!
Cole: Oh no! Scotty looks like the only fresh one in this match!
King: We may see new Tag Team Champions!
Ron Gibson tries to get to his feet, but while that happens, Curtis Kanyon runs into the ring. He runs towards Scotty, but gets knocked down with a knee to his stomach, making him flip, and hold onto his stomach. Curtis Kanyon rolls out of the ring, and he turns over towards Ron Gibson. At this time, he gets to his feet. Scotty Callaway holds onto Ron and knees him in the stomach, basically forcing him to depend his stance on Callaway, which is what Scotty wants to happen. He runs towards the turnbuckle, while grabbing him Going for his finisher, SLICED BREAD #2!
Cole: THIS IS OVER!
King: NEW TAG CHAMPS BABY!
Everything is going as planned but in the air, Ron pulls off enough energy to stop the momentum, and put him in position for the Race Hate. Everyman sees something is happening, so he jumps on the turnbuckle. He jumps off it, about to hit Ron Gibson and stop this from happening, but while he is in the air, Curtis Kanyon, apparently out of nowhere, jumps up and GORES him in mid-air, knocking the BOTH of them out of the ring.
Cole: Hahaha, payback there!
King: So does this mean.?
Yes, its as King is predicting. RACE HATE! Its executed beautifully. Heres the pinfall: One Two THREE!
Winner and STILL XHF Tag Team Champions: Dirty Deal!
Cole: What an amazing match! Dirty Deal really went the distance, and Everymans team really surprised us with their skill.
King: Youre not kidding there, Cole. Anyways, next up on XHF Retribution, we have one of the most anticipated matchups: MGK versus Doc, in the Shoot Match. Who will prevail: A soldier of the Revival, or one of the leaders of XHFs New Wave? We will find out NOW!
:: The lights inside the arena flicker slightly, when without warning, we're hit with the violent opening riff of Stone Sour's Reborn. As the booming instrumental thrashes over the speakers, the fans jump to their feet in anticipation as the following image plays over the Xtreme Tron.::
::Then suddenly the opening riff to the song begins to thrash the speakers, and the darkness shatters into a blinding world of blue, green, and gold. As the first verse to the song hits, none other than MGK makes his way out, dressed in his ring attire (CM Punk style of course, with amazing kickpad action) and the XHF Title around his waist. In addition, he's wearing his black "Undisputed" MGK T-Shirt. He stands on the entrance stage,his wet hair dripping and hanging over his face as he crosses his arms over his chest in an "X". He then makes his way down to the ring, as the fans reach over the barricade to touch him. As the music continues to play, MGK comes to the ring. He pulls himself up onto the ring apron, and then spins around to face the fans. He nodds his head at them, as the cheer his name, and then he takes off his T-Shirt, throwing it into the crowd. He grins and pats the XHF Title on his waist. After this, he turns and enters the ring. Here, he takes off the XHF Title and lays it down in the center of the ring. He then drops down to a knee in the center, as a spotlight falls down upon him. He lets the light soak in, and looks down at the mat, then lightly pounds the title plate with his fists, and stands up, crossing his arms over his chest again. As the fans cheer, he picks up the XHF Title and slowly raises it in the air. He then climbs to the middle turnbuckle, and raises his title again, and then pointing to his chest. ::
I AM EVERYTHING
I AM ANYTHING
I AM AUTOMATIC
I AM YESTERDAY
I AM EVERYDAY
I AM GONNA BE
REBORRRRN
THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING
::As the music continues to blare over the speakers, he hops off the turnbuckle, and he begins to pace around the ring, amped up and ready to go.::
Cole: MGK seems to be one of the main focus' of the Revival.
King: Tonight he gets his first shot a Revival member too.
Cole: I think this is more about the past then about the Revival.
King: Haven't you been paying attention Cole, this is war, and everything is envolved in this.
As the fans wait in anticipation, "Eye of The Tiger" hits over the PA and the crowd rise to their feet, awaiting the arrival of Doc. The lights then turn to darkness, and soon two bright blue strobe lighting bolts shine on the top of the ramp. They cross over in a huge "X" shape, like the St. Andrews flag of Scotland, and as Doc walks out and stands under the "X", the lights turn back on. A spotlight shines on the United States championship which is strapped around his waist as he jogs on the spot, as "Eye of The Tiger" enters the chours.
"It's the,
Eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge
Of our rivals"
Doc then begins to walk down the ramp, slowly looking out at the fans, before posing, dropping to his knees and lifting his arms in the air. Pyros explode in the background on cue as he does so. Doc then continues down to the ring. As he reaches it he climbs the steps and walks along the apron. Doc grabs the top rope, and drops his feet off the apron, but holds on to the rope and skins the cat over the top rope and into the ring. Doc spins round before climbing each turnbuckle to taunt to the crowd, and after he has done so he leans to one side in a taunt, flexing his muscles. Doc then stands tall over the middle of the ring, where he does some last minute stretches and makes sure his wrists are taped up properly as he awaits his opponent...
King: Doc has joined the winning side.
Cole: Says you. NWS has won the XHF Championship four times.
King: A combined six months with that belt between three men. One Revival member alone held the belt for five months.
Cole: And all the three revival members that held the X*Crown combined held it for six and a half months. MGK held it for six all on his own.
King: Well you're a poopy head.
Shoot Match
"The Undisputed Icon" MGK vs. "The Boyhood Dream" Doc
The two men stand in opposite corners as the ref looks at both men to make sure they're ready. They both nod to the ref and he calls for the bell. Neither men move, but continue to stare from across the ring. The tension is thick, and the ref seems confused by the lack of action and calls for the bell again. This time both men step foreword eyes locked in a tremendous gaze. They meet in the center or the ring and stand eye to eye, neither man giving an inch until bam, both men strike with right hands! They begin to swing wildly at each other, neither man backing down in this fight. They throw wildly until MGK connects and connects and connects without Doc being able to get a shot back in. Doc is stumbled back into the ropes from the blows and MGK grabs him and whips him across the ring. Doc runs across the ring and bounces off the ropes as MGK walks towards the center of the ring and as Doc approaches MGK swings with a vicious clothesline, but Doc ducks under and reaches down and yanks the legs out from under MGK causeing him to fall face first on the mat. MGK quickly rolls onto his back and tries to get back up, but before he can Doc is on top of him and swinging wildly down on his face with lefts and rights. MGK is unable to block the blows but is soon able to reverse it and roll Doc over and now stand on his knees above Doc reigning down with rights and lefts of his own. Soon Doc rolls MGK and they continue to roll until they are out of the ring.
Cole: The ref is letting them fight.
King: Maybe you missed it Cole, but this IS a fight.
Cole: Oh yeah, and wait, is that even one of our refs?
King: No, this is a non sanctioned match so MGK and Doc called in the best ref the Japanese independent scene has. I'm not even sure why they have a ref. I dont think either of these men are going to walk out of this alive at this rate.
They dont let go of each other even after the fall out of the ring. They each push up to there knees, still throwing lefts and rights wildly at each other. Soon both men are up, still exchanging punches until Doc quickly sends a knee to the gut of his opponent and then drives him head first into the ring apron. MGK's head snaps back from the impact and he bounces off of the apron back standing up dazed. Doc quickly leaps onto the apron and then leaps up onto the second rope bouncing back with a asi moon sault, but MGK recovers and sends a right hand to the stomach of Doc as Doc is in mid air. Doc crashes to the padding hard as MGK drops to one knee to recover, but quickly gets back up and lifts Doc up by the back of his tights and wraps his arms around the waist of Doc. He struggles to try and toss Doc over his head, but Doc blocks it and performs a standing switch. Doc grabs the waist and locks his hands, but MGK quickly sends back elbows to the face of Doc and switches with Doc again. MGK quickly lifts Doc up by the waist and bottom of the leg and sends Doc into the front row of the crowd with a back suplex!
Cole: This is spilling out quick.
King: You just knew it would. These two hate each other.
Cole: Not to mention this is war.
MGK falls into a sitting position on the floor leaning against the ring barrier for a second to catch his breath but is soon back to his feet. In the crowd security is pushing back fans for there own saftey as Doc gets to his feet and begins swinging wildly. Doc shakes his head and turns around and sees MGK standing at ring side grining at Doc's confusion. Doc looks enraged and begins running towards the ring barrier, quickly MGK leaps up on the ring barrier and then leaps off of it over the running Doc. Doc stops dead in his tracks and waits as MGK turns back to Doc and Doc quickly sends a kick right into the stomach! MGK goes stumbling back into the security. The security catches MGK from falling. Doc doesn't waste any time and charges and nails MGK right in the head with a running forearm that sends both of them tumbling through the two security staff members that were holding up MGK and into the crowd. Both men stumble to there feet in the middle of the screaming crowd and Doc quickly swings at MGK wildly but MGK ducks and Doc nails a fan!
Cole: Holy Shit!
King: No one is safe. I'm grabbing a helmet and some pads before they head this way!
The fan falls the floor in a heap, and Doc just looks at him with disgust and turns back to MGK who nails him with a stiff right hand that sends Doc staggering back. Fans dive out of the way as MGK then lowers his head and drives his shoulder into the gut of Doc and charges shoving Doc through the crowd as they split to avoid being a casuality of this war. MGK runs full speed until WHACK he drives Doc back first into and through the ring barrier that blocks the fans off from the stage area! Both men fall foreword on top of the fallen ring barrier with MGK on top of Doc. It takes a second for MGK to realize what just happened as he looks around at the destruction he just caused and then rains down on the head of Doc with right hands as he grabs the hair of Doc tight with his left hand. Doc can't get his hands up to block the blows from MGK as MGK swings over and over at his head until Doc finally takes the only way out he can think of and sends a knee to the groin of MGK. MGK grabs himself and rolls off of Doc as Doc rolls over onto his stomach and begins to crawl away. The camera zooms in on the bright red face of Doc and catches a glimpse of a small cut on his forehead bleeding ever so slightly. Doc crawls towards the ramp way and pulls himself up as MGK is up to his feet, but still doubled over holding his groin in pain. Doc stands staring at MGK breathing heavyily. Doc begins to stumble towards MGK as MGK stands upright and curls his lip in anger as he sees Doc slowly approaching. They again explode at each other with rights and lefts and the fight is back on.
Cole: There is no stopping these two from ripping each other apart now.
King: There never was. Doc has tried to kill MGK and likewise leading up to this match. No telling how this is going to end.
Cole: I'm afraid of how it might end. Parents, send your kids to bed, this could be grousome.
They trade right hands like crazy before Doc sneaks in a left to daze MGK long enough for Doc to lift him up and drop him across his knee with an atomic drop. MGK staggers back and doubles over after the move and Doc kicks MGK in the face causing him to shoot upright. Doc then steps back and charges taking MGK to the ground with a huge lariat. Doc then makes the first cover of the match and only gets a one count as MGK strongly kicks out and begins to get to his feet!
King: Barely a one count!
Cole: These two have already beat the life out of each other and they can't even keep each other down for longer then a second.
MGK is back up almost quicker then Doc and swings with a right hand, but Doc ducks and drives a knee into the gut of MGK and grabs MGK by the hair and drags him through the side entrance into the back stage area. The camera quickly changes to the back stage area as Doc drags MGK through the curtain into the halls of the arena. Doc quickly turns MGK towards the wall and slams him head first into the wall. Doc reaches up and wipes the small amount of blood that has formed on his cut away and then wipes it on the face of MGK before slamming him head first into the wall again. MGK crumbles after the second shot to the wall and Doc quickly drops for another pin attempt, but again MGK kicks out at one. Doc can't believe it and sends a fist to the head of MGK before MGK can get up and then grabs him by his hair and pulls him to his feet. Doc looks frustraited and looks around for something to cause damage with when he sees a table set up in front of the Commishioners office. Doc drags MGK over to the table by the hair and slams him head first onto the table. MGK stands upright after the shot, barely, and staggers there in front of the table as Doc reaches and grabs the lone box on the table and reads the label "Suggestion Box" and then smashes it over the head of MGK to virtually no effect other then paper flying all over the place. Doc then grabs MGK and lifts him up for a slam on the table, but MGK floats over and lifts Doc up and tosses him back first through the table!
Cole: Jesus Christ!
King: This is getting messy fast.
Cole: How will they survive at this pace. XHF Management never should have let this happen.
King: They're not. This is all on them now. If they get hurt its there own fault.
Cole: No matter what they say, this is still a match promoted on a XHF Pay Per View.
MGK falls foreword onto Doc and the ref drops down amidst all the carnage and counts, barely a two count even after going through a table! MGK gets to his knees and looks in shock as Doc rolls over and crawls down the hallway. MGK shakes his head in disbelief and gets to his feet and begins presuit of his opponent as Doc reaches up and pushs his way through an Emergency exit. The alarm blares through the hallway and over the speakers of the arena as well, but is quickly cut off by the guys running the arena and Doc falls foreword out into the parking back parking lot of the Tokyo Dome. MGK begins staggering after him and soon catches up and sends an axe handle smash down across the back of Doc causing Doc to fall to his stomach. MGK breathes heavily before reaching down and lifting Doc up by the back of his tights. MGK grunts in his own personal pain before sending a forearm into the back of Doc. Doc stumbles foreword and catches himself from falling on the fender of a XHF big rig. MGK quickly moves behind him and gabs him by the back of the hair and slams him head first into the fender of the truck. Blood flies as the shot opens up the wound on Doc's forehead wider. MGK then slams his head again, and again, watching as the blood flies and smears on the white truck as Doc falls to his knees.
Cole: I dont know if I can watch this anymore. It is truely making me sick.
MGK stands over the bloodied Doc and reaches down and grabs him by the legs and pulls him away from the truck and rolls him over onto his back so he can make a pin attempt and NO! Doc kicks out! MGK rolls over onto his back and cant believe it. He puts his hands over his face in disbelief, but is quickly back up and moves over to lift Doc up by the hair, but Doc counters with a poke to the eye. Doc gets back to his feet slowly as MGK shakes off the poke to the eye. Before MGK can regain vision Doc is up and delievers a boot to the gut of MGK and sends him head first into the fender of the truck. MGK collapses to the ground and Doc falls to one knee as the blood flows from his head. Doc shakes his head in agony and then reaches over and grabs the ref and wipes the blood off of his face on the shirt of the ref. The ref looks down at his bloody shirt in disgust as MGK is up to all fours and Doc gets off of one knee and helps MGK the rest of the way up. Doc then spins MGK around and lifts him up in the air and slams him back first on the hood of the big rig truck.
King: These men have to be running on adreniline now.
Cole: They're just beating the life out of each other. This is less like a wrestling match and more like a scene in a bad action movie.
King: It could be a scene in a great action movie!
MGK crawls towards the winshield of the big rig as Doc climbs up the front of the truck and onto the hook along with MGK. MGK turns and looks back at Doc and as he does Doc runs and sends a boot into the side of the face of MGK driving MGK's head into the winshild. MGK's head bounces off like a rubber ball and Doc staggers back and struggles to keep his balance on the slip hood of the big rig. MGK looks up, a small amount of blood forming on his face, and this doesn't make Doc happy enough and he charges and connects with another kick to the face that sends MGK's head bouncing off the winshield again, this time busting MGK wide open and cracking the winshield of the truck. Doc gets a sick smile on his face as MGK's head lays prone on the winshield with blood now gushing from his face. Doc steps back and charges again, this time MGK moves out of the way and Doc sends a kick right through the winshield!
Cole: Holy shit!
King: These men will stop at nothing to win this war.
Cole: This Revival vs NWS/XHF thing has gone to far already.
King: And this is just the begining Cole.
MGK lays on his back on the hood of the truck as Doc screams in pain as he pulls his leg out of the shattered winshield. Doc falls back into the sitting position on the hood of the truck holding his leg in pain. His tights are cut from the glass and small cuts on his legs show where the tights are cut open. He lays there in agony as MGK begins to climb up the winshield and onto the top of the trailer attached to the truck leaving smears of blood as he does. As MGK reaches the top he gets to his knees and wipes the blood from his face and out of his eyes and wipes it away on his tights. Doc cringes in pain as he tries to stand on his leg and staggers foreword and begins to follow MGK to the top of the truck and onto the trailer. When Doc reaches the top MGK meets him with a right hand that staggers Doc and Doc is barely able to keep from standing his bad leg, but keeps his ballance and swings and nails MGK with his own right hand. MGK staggers back from the blow but quickly strikes back with a shot of his own. Doc staggers but swings again, MGK ducks though and lifts Doc up. He staggers to his right barely able to hold Doc up, and falls towards the edge of the trailer and drops Doc off of the trailer!
Cole: Holy Christ!
King: He's dead! Doc is Dead!
Cole: I knew this was going to go to far, and it just did. MGK just killed a man.
King: And the match still isn't over. He still has to pin him.
Cole: Bullshit. Doc couldn't have survived it. The ref needs to call this match.
King: Thats not the rules Cole.
Cole: Damn it! This is to much. This needs to stop. Pin him already MGK! END THIS!
MGK drops to one knee on top of the trailer and looks down at the carnage that is Doc's body laying lifeless on the concrete. MGK breathes heavily as staff members run to Doc to check on him. They shake there heads in disbelief and one yells for an EMT, but MGK yells back to get out of the way and MGK stands on his feet at the edge of the trailer. The staff members run away scared at what could possibally happen next and MGK leaps off and lands on top of Doc with a Shooting Star Press!
Cole: Just stop it already!
King: I don't think either man can survive that! MGK landed on the concrete on his knees, and he bounced off of Doc. He may have stuck the knife in Doc's heart to make sure he's dead, but he's not makeing a pin with no knees.
Cole: At least this will stop now. No way they can continue this match now.
EMTs rush the scene and begin attending to the individual fighters. Soon more EMTs show up with stretchers and begin to load them up onto the stretchers and take them away.
Cole: Thank God its over.
The house lights in the arena go low, a red hue of lights stay on and over the P.A. system we hear a voice.
"First you have to give up, first you have to know... not fear... know... that someday you are going to die."
You couldnt be, you couldnt be me even if you wanted to,
Everything Ive been through.
Live your life, soaking up all my sunshine,
And smile your whole life,
I wouldnt know
The intro for Hellyeah's "You wouldn't know" comes blaring over the sound system, the entrance ramp fills with smoke and we can see the silhouette of Price in the center of the smoke, his head tilted back looking up to the heavens his arms held out wide in the crucifix pose.
18 wheels are rolling,
18 wheels are crushing, Me down,
Running me down
Cars are crashing
Cars are crashin, all around me
Running me down
As the song explodes into the guitar riff so does the stage red pyro shooting up towards the sky angled towards the ring. Price emerges from the smoke and make's his way down the ramp He's wearing black thigh length shorts. Messiah of Hardcore written on the back of his shorts with a pattern of barbwire being the trim of the shorts.
All my days are numbered,
All my days are grey,
All my skies are covered,
All my ends are frayed
Price ignores the heckling fans as he pass's by then, takes his Messiah of Hardcore shirt off up over his head and toss's it to the ramp. He climbs the ring steeps and climbs the outside turnbuckle to the 2nd rope.
You couldnt be, you couldnt be me even if you wanted to,
Everything Ive been through. You wouldnt know
Live your life, soaking up all my sunshine,
And smile your whole life,
I wouldnt know
As the song breaks into it's choirs the camera does a fly by of Price as he looks around the arena then throws his arms out wide once more into the crucifix pose with his head once more tilted up looking towards the heavens as if daring someone to strike him down. He slowly lowers his arms and then his head bringing his chin down to his chest as he looks around the arena at the fans then he leaps over the top rope into the ring and stretches his arms on the top rope.
Lightnings crashin
Thunders rolling all around me,
Bringin me down
Stars are falling,
Fires lighting all around me,
Burning me down
King: This is Price's enviroment here tonight.
Cole: Yeah, a New Japan Deathmatch, I might get sick but hey, good stuff.
*All of the lights in the arena fall out and now the arena is in pitch black darkness as everybody's wondering what the hell is going on. Then, all of a sudden, the following is heard throughout the arena as blue and white lights flicker on and off near the entrance ramp.*
There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.
*As with that, music starts playing...like a weird drum beat mixed in with guitars. As the blue and white lights start to strobe more and more as the beat picks up, the following is screamed out loudly*
"THIS FIRE BURNS!"
*And with that, Killswitch Engage's "This Fire Burns" comes blaring over the system. People now cheer loudly as they know who it is, and out of the blue and white strobe lights walks "The Rockstar" Kevin Hardaway. Kevin just stands there, looking at the crowd as he walks to the ring, talking amongst himself and to some of the fans, the United States Championship around his waist, as the chorus is belted out*
Even through the darkest days
This fire burns, always
This fire burns
Always
*Kevin jumps on the apron as he enters the ring and gets on the ropes throwing up the metal horns into an "X" fashion as he gets more loud cheers from the crowd as he goes back to the middle of the ring waiting for the match to begin as he unstraps his belt and gives it to the ref or whomever.*
Cole: Kevin Hardaway, a man who these fans really don't care for.
King: Of course not, he doesn't know hardcore or a deathmatch like Price does.
New Japan Deathmatch for the XHF United States Championship
"The Messiah of Hardcore" Price vs. "The Rockstar" Kevin Hardaway (c)
Both men look around at ringside to see what they have at their disposale. We see a few barbed wire boards, glass, a meat hook, tables, light tubes, tacks, all that fun stuff. The bell rings as we are underway in this New Japan Death Match. Both men rush at each other, swinging right hands to start this match off already. Both men are making a lot of contact with the hands being thrown at each other. Price varies it up with a chop to the chest that sends Hardaway back a bit. Price keeps on him with more and more strikes until Hardaway is down on his ass, trying to block the shots Price is sending at him. Price stops and yells out at the crowd as they clap. Price heads out of the ring and looks around underneath the ring. He pulls out a barbed wire chair and slides back into the ring. Hardaway sees the chair and gets out of the ring himself. Price motions his hand for him to get back in but at the moment, Kevin Hardaway declines the invitation.
King: Don't blame him for ducking Price there.
Cole: I hate barbed wire...
Hardaway looks under the ring himself now and pulls out a barbed wire chair. He slides back into the ring. Price and Hardaway stare at each other with their barbed wire chairs. Both men swing and make contact with the chair. They swing a second time and get the same result. The two chairs meet again. Hardaway feins a swing as Price goes through with it. Hardaway throws his chair at Price. Price gets nailed right in the face and goes down as Hardaway taunts the crowd. Hardaway picks the chair back up and throws it back in Price's face as he gets back up. Due to the barbed wire, Price is cut open in numerous places already in the early goings of this match. Hardaway stomps on Price with the sole of his boot a few times before dropping an elbow into the back of his head. Kevin rolls him over and covers.
One!
Two!!
Price gets a shoulder off the mat. Hardaway rolls out of the ring and grabs a bundle of light lubes. He sets them up inbetween the second and top rope in the corner.
Cole: Oh noes.
King: You can't say noes.
Price is on his feet as Hardaway whips him towards the corner with the light tubes. Price slides down and goes out of the ring, avoiding what could have been certain doom. Price sees a bag and grabs it. Price goes back into the ring and puts his hand into the bag. Hardaway runs towards him. Price takes his hand out of the bag and throws something at Hardaway... Hardaway stops as we see Price threw a ball of tacks at him! Hardaway grabs his face as Price dumps the rest of the tacks onto the mat. Hardaway is screaming in pain, trying to get the tacks off of his face. The ref helps him out as Price nails Hardaway in the leg with the barbed wire chair. Hardaway screams in pain as he holds his leg. We see his face is also a bloody mess now as well. Price hits him again with the barbed wire chair, but in the back this time. The chair gets stuck on Hardaway's back as Price rips it off. We hear more screams as we see missing pieces of flesh off of the current United States Champion's back. Price drops the chair and covers.
One!
Two!!
Hardaway somehow gets a shoulder up. Price shakes his head as he picks Hardaway back up. Price drags him near a barbed wire chair and hooks his head in for a DDT. The crowd starts to get on their feet as Hardaway gets out of the DDT with a Northern Lights Suplex. He flips over and rolls into a second Nothern Lights Suplex. Hardaway releases and holds his back as Price rolls around.
King: Good lord, both men are giving it their all.
Cole: I hate barbed wire...
Both men get back up to their feet and look at each other. Both of them bleeding and both of them wanting to kill each other. Hardaway does a Price clothesline. When Price turns around, he gets Dropkicked to the mat. Hardaway gets back to his feet and goes to the outside again. He picks up a table and slides it into the ring. Seeing as how we are in Japan, they don't chant anything so yeah, we just get claps. Hardaway sets up the table in one of the corners. Price is back on his feet. Hardaway turns around only to get SPEARED INTO THE TABLE!!! The crowd goes "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!" Price holds his head as Hardaway is a crumbled heap. Table shards are everywhere.
Cole: Wow, that certainly has to hurt.
King: Agreed old friend.
Price comes to and pulls Hardaway away from the wreckage if you will. Price covers him.
One!
Two!!
Kevin Hardaway kicks out just before the hand dropped again. Price doesn't believe it as he heads out of the ring. He grabs a barbed wire board and slides it into the ring. Then get grabs another one and slides it into the ring. Price isn't done yet as he slides in a whole bunch of light tubes that were in a box like thing, only is wide and open. The sides aren't that high. So after all that stuff is in the ring, Price slides in himself and gets a Dropkicked in the face. Price leans against the ropes as Hardaway puts the barbed wire boards in a corner. After that, he pulls the light tube thingy into the middle of the ring. He hooks Price's head and goes for a Suplex. Price blocks by hooking the leg. Now Price spins the other way and tries to Suplex Hardaway onto the light tubes but Hardaway blocks as well. Both men release from the hold as the crowd claps at the two blocks.
King: Phew, avoided disaster there.
Cole: For now at least.
Hardaway and Price start to exchange right hands again. Hardaway gets the advantage by throwing Price into the corner... WHERE THOSE LIGHT TUBES WHERE PLACED!!! Price goes back first into them and as he staggers forward, Hardaway Suplexes him into the big pile of light tubes!!! Price is screaming in pain as Hardaway catches his breath. There is a white dust everywhere as Hardaway gets a smirk on his face. He rolls out of the ring and heads to the back. The crowd boos, thinking he has had enough and left the match.
Cole: Where did he go?
King: Maybe he had to dookie.
No, he hasn't gone to dookie as he returns with a MOTHERFUCKING WEED WACKER!!! The normally reserved Japanese fans explode with cheers as Hardaway runs down to the ring with it. Price is bleeding from the back pretty badly now as Hardaway gets back into the ring. He taunts Price, who is on his knees. Just as Hardaway goes to start the weed wacker, Price low blows him... but with A LIGHT TUBE SHARD. OH MY GOD! Hardaway looks as if he wants to cry as Price still holds that light tube shard and starts to cut the forehead of Kevin Hardaway. The crowd is watching in horror as blood is pouring down the face of Kevin Hardaway. He screams as Price gets back to his feet and grabs the weed wacker. He pulls the string and we hear the motor start up.
King: OH DEAR GOD NO!
Cole: I DON'T WANNA WATCH!
Hardaway gets back up to his feet as Price weilds the weed wacker. Hardaway meets the weed wacker to the ribs. Blood goes flying out everywhere as Hardaway just yells out in pain. Price disengages the weed wacker and sees a full light tube and grabs Hardaway from behind, putting the light tube across his throat. Price falls backwards with a Backcracker as the light snaps across the throat of Hardaway. No blood thankfully as Price lays on the mat, still tired himself. Hardaway rolls out of the ring and is getting checked on by the EMTs who have rushed out there to get that deep gash closed. Price goes out of the ring and kicks them away as he stomps on that part of Hardaway. Hardaway keeps yelling as Price puts him back into the ring. Price goes to the top rope and goes for a Legdrop. Hardaway moves out the way and gets back up to his feet. Hardaway holds his side as he takes one of the barbed wire boards and places it flat on the ground.
Cole: I hate this, I really do.
King: MAN UP COLE!
Hardaway drags Price onto the barbed wire and goes to the top rope. Hardaway goes for Hope Is Not Lost but Price moves out of the way. Hardaway's stomach meets the barbed wire as Price grabs the other barbed wire board and lays it flat next to Hardaway. He picks up Hardaway who is still attached to the board. He drops him onto the second barbed wire board so his back in on barbed wire and his stomach is on barbed wire, like a sandwich. Price goes to the top rope and flies off with a Splash that forces the barbed wire to compress Hardaway even more so. Price just stays on top of the boards as Hardaway's shoulders are down.
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
Winner and NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION: PRICE
Cole: No way.
King: Yes way Cole. Yes Way.
Cole: This can't be true.
King: Tell the people at home Cole. They can't hear what we're hearing in our ear pieces.
Cole: I don't want to tell them King, because I dont want to believe it!
King: Well believe it Cole, they're not done and we're going to the back where MGK is looking for Doc to finish this match!
Cole: I can't watch this.
The xtremetron lights up in the back as MGK is limping through the halls of the arena with EMT's following at a distance, afraid to stop him. His head his bandages tight and his knees look wobbly as he staggers down the halls. He pushes his way through a double doors leading to the parking area and there he sees it, EMTs loading Doc into the back of an ambulance on a stretcher. They place the stretcher in the back of the ambulence and get ready to close the doors, but before they can MGK runs and nails the EMT closeing the back doors with a vicious right hand. The EMT hits the ground and screams as he does. The EMT in the back with Doc yells at the driver to take off, and the engine revs up and the sierens wail, but before he hits the gas MGK grabs the leg of the stretcher and holds on tight as the Ambulence takes off and the stretcher goes flying out of the back!
King: WOW!
Cole: This is to much.
The Stretcher hits the pavement with bang and the bandaged Doc lifts his head not quite sure yet what is going on until MGK reaches down and flips the stretcher over causeing Doc to go tumbleing out of the stretcher and rolling onto the pavement. The camera takes a quick look at MGK as he drops to one knee and stares at Doc maliciously. Blood is soaking through the bandage wrapped around his head and he gets back up to his feet and begins walking slowly towards Doc. Doc looks back and sees his enemy coming for him, and begins to turn and crawl away as fast as he can. MGK begins to gain on Doc and Doc stumbles to his feet as fast as he can and stumbles foreword onto the front of a near by car. Doc turns around useing the car to keep himself on his feet and sees MGK now jogging at him and MGK nails him with a right hand that sends Doc flying backwards onto the hood of the car.
Cole: I hope you got that insurance.
King: What are you talking about?
Cole: The rental insurance.
King: No, why?
Cole: Beacuse that's your car.
King: NO! You're right, this has gone to far. Someone stop them!
MGK stands up onto the bumper and stands over Doc's body. Doc pushes himself up onto the winshield and tries to stand, but falls back sitting on the winshield. MGK lets out an evil laugh and steps up onto the hood. Doc kicks up at his attacker trying to back him off but MGK just swipes with his hands and knocks Doc's feet out of the way. MGK reaches down and grabs Doc by the top of the head and sends several right hands to the forehead of Doc causeing blood to ooze through his fresh bandage on his head. MGK then grabs the bandage and rips it off the head of Doc and turns doc over onto his back. He wraps the bandage around his hands and begins to choke the life our of his opponent. Doc's hands flail wildly against the winshiled of the car, blood squirts everywhere as he struggls for air with MGK standing over him camel clutch style choking him with his bandage.
King: God, I hope the Japanese Rental place see wrestlers blood as a sign of honor.
Cole: I doubt it.
MGK soon lets go as Doc's arms go limp. MGK then realizes something and begins looking around and smiles as he sees the ref they hired in the distance running towards them. MGK waves for him to move faster and turns Doc over onto his back and makes the cover. The ref is running but still isn't there and MGK pounds his fist on the hood of the car telling him to count. The ref finally arrives and makes the count one, two, DOC ROLLS THE SHOULDER!
Cole: No way! Stay down Doc, STAY DOWN!
MGK can't believe it. He looks in utter shock as Doc lays there still lifeless barely breathing now. He looks to the ref and doesn't know what to say or do next but instinctivly grabs Doc by the hair and lifts him up. MGK stares into the eyes of his opponent and Doc falls down to one knee, not able to hold himself up on his own power. MGK lifts him back to his feet. MGK then lifts Doc onto his shoulders and holds him there for a second.
King: What is he doing?
Cole: Oh God, it looks like he's going to hit the Deflamation through the winshild
King: NOOOOOO!
That looks to be MGK's plan as he turns to the winshild and goes to drop Doc, but Doc floats over behind MGK and is somehow able to stay on his feet. MGK quickly turns around and Doc coils and releases sending MGK crashing into the winshield of the car with a Genocide Kick! Doc crumbles onto MGK and the ref makes the count one, two, THREE!
Winner: Doc
Cole: Thank god it's over. Neither of these men will ever be the same after this.
King: This might be the best brawl I have ever witnessed. This war is far from over, but this will be remembered as the first great battle.
So, Magnus...how you enjoying the show so far? Dude man, it's amazing. I mean, we had titles change hands, a New Japan Deathmatch that was absolutely insane, and probably the match of the year so far in Doc vs. MGK. I'm tired...and confused. How come you're confused? This next match. What the hell is a "Reverse Ladder Match"? It's like the King of the Mountain match...only with 2 people...and 2 belts. What? I don't know, my head has exploded too. Let's just make this a regular ladder match, i'm too confused. Must be all the cheese puffs. ARF!*Ish looks at Pagnus's mouth...it's all orange!
MAGGS! DID YOU FEED PAGNUS CHEESE PUFFS?! Probably. God...just go on to the next match."I Stand Alone" begins to slowly play over the PA system and fog fills the stage. Soon Scorpion appears on the stage and he stops and looks around at the screaming crowd before running down the ramp and sliding in the ring. He stands in the ring looking around at the crowd again and waits for the music to cut.
Cole: Here comes Scorpion...the WWO Champion.
King: Well not for long...that title is going into the annals of the X*Crown.
*As the opening guitar plays, the Xtremetron shows the silhouette of a woman with her hair blowing across her face and holding a playing card between the forefingers of her right hand, she flips it over in her fingers to reveal the Ace Of Spades, the symbol grows out of the card and gets larger with every repetition of the opening chords until it envelops the screen. Huge flame pyros explode either side of the ramp as cards begin to fall from the rafters. The lyrics to 'You Know My Name' by Chris Cornell begin as The Ace appears on stage and grins, his XHF X*Crown Championship in his left hand, he places the belt over his right shoulder, absorbing the cheers as he stands in the shower of cards. The Xtremetron shows The Ace superkick Kuroi off the bridge and crash through the spanish announce table but as he does so his image evaporates into many spade symbols...*
If you take a life, do you know what you give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me
By the merciless eyes I've deceived?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line...
*The Ace walks down through the shower of falling cards, raising his belt on the way down, much to the delight of the fans as the XtremeTron shows Spike Kane and Doc receiving Ace-Plants. Tara Fenix is shown receiving a Russian Roulette through the glass canvas and her image evaporates into spade symbols, out of the evaporation rises The Ace's bloody hand, grasping the X*Crown Championship...*
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize, it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
*The Ace gets to the foot of the ramp and the cards stop falling. The Ace slides his title under the bottom rope before entering the ring himself, he picks up the title and walks over to the adjacent turnbuckle, climbing the second rope...*
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name...
*The Ace raises the title high above his head in his right hand as the electric crowd cheer, he grins...*
If you come inside, things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change the game that we've all been playing...
*The Ace climbs down and puts the title over his shoulder as he walks to the middle of the ring and the song fades...*
Unification Reverse Ladder Match for the XHF X*Crown Championship
(*The first person to climb the ladder and hang both the WWO and the X*Crown belts will be the X*Crown champion*)
"The Ace" Jake Conway (c) vs. Scorpion (WWO Champion)
The bell rings as both Scorpion and The Ace are standing at opposite corners, first looking at each other, but then looking at the prize. 15 feet above the ring dangles the X*Crown title and the WWO title. They then refocus on one thing thats keeping them from getting that X*Crown title each other. They begin to circle the ring.
Cole: This is going to be one hell of an athletic contest, King.
King: Hahaha funny.
Cole: Im serious.
King: No youre not.
Scorpion and Red start to near each other and then lock up hands to hands. Scorpion starts to become overpowered and Red moves him back a couple feet. Scorpion breaks the hold and smacks Red across the face. Scorpion says he wasnt ready, and wants to tie up again. They lock hands again and this time Red breaks it, even though he wasnt losing, and lays a loud smack across Scorpions face. Scorpion holds his cheek as he turns around and stumbles. He then lunges at Red and starts furiously punching him. The Ace pushes him off and into the ropes. Scorpion bounces off and runs back. He does a spin and then nails Red again with a flying fist.

The Ace starts attacking Scorpion into the corner with some smacks into the chest, which can be heard throughout the arena. The crowd Wooos as he lays another loud smack across Scorpions chest. Scorpion grabs Red by the neck and switches places with him again. This time Scorpion lays some fast smacks and chops into Reds chest, causing chaotic wooing from the crowd. Scorpion then backs up and puts his hands on his knees, waiting for Red. Red stumbles out of the corner and Scorpion picks him up for a spinebuster. Instead of slamming him down on the mat he slams him into the corner again. He starts ramming his shoulder into him and walks away. He then runs at Red and charges shoulder first. The Ace dives out of the way and a loud smack is heard as Scorpion goes shoulder first into the ring post!
Cole: Scorpion and The Ace are starting this match up very competitively.
Scorpion holds his shoulder in pain as Red pulls him out of the turnbuckle and spins him around back to the turnbuckle. The Ace begins stomping Scorpion down onto his ass, then begins to choke him out with his foot. The Ace grabs Scorpion by the arm and picks him up out of the turnbuckle. He goes for an Irish Whip but Scorpion counters it with a whip of his own. The Ace runs to the turnbuckle but stops himself right in front of it. He turns around and Scorpion spears him into it! Scorpion falls though the second rope and out to ringside, but is just fine. He picks himself up and raises his hand to the approval of the crowd. He gets up on the apron as The Ace holds his back and walks out of the turnbuckle. He grabs The Ace by the hair and goes to guillotine him into the top rope but The Ace keeps a hold on Scorpion by the shoulders and holds him in the air! He pulls Scorpion close to the ropes and then throws him over ringside, over the barricade, and into the scattering audience! Scorpion crashes into the first two rows of chairs and yells in pain. The Ace catches his breath shortly and then climbs through the ropes. He jumps down onto the ringside mat and over to the barricade. Scorpion lays on the mess of chairs breathing heavily and looking back at The Ace. Red grabs Scorpion and drags him out of the audience by his shoulders. Red grabs Scorpion by his arm and whips him towards the steps. Scorpion stops himself and turns back to The Ace. Scorpion ducks under Reds clothesline and turns around. He kicks Red in the back and Red holds himself up on the ringsteps. Scorpion then runs and jumps over The Ace and hits a bulldog onto the ring steps!
Cole: Oh my God, King!
King: That was insane!
Red holds his head in pain as he stumbles back away. Scorpion bends over catching his breath and walks over to Red who is stumbling away holding his head. Scorpion grabs The Ace by the back of the head and tries to slam him face first into the barricade. The Ace blocks it though, and then elbows Scorpion in the gut. He grabs Scorpion by the head but Scorpion blocks getting slammed face first and elbows The Ace in the gut. Scorpion then finally slams The Ace face first into the barricade! The Ace stumbles backwards and Scorpion ducks down and flips The Ace on his back. He drags him around to get his back to the ring post and looks to the crowd. He then slingshots The Ace at the ring post! The Ace though slings up and plants his feet at the corner of the ring, hugging the ring post. Scorpion looks annoyed and then punches Red in the back. He grabs Red by his calf and throws him off the apron and Red hits his jaw on it. Red turns around and Scorpion throws a punch, landing on Reds face. Scorpion back-steps, then charges The Ace who is propped against the apron. The Ace ducks down and flips Scorpion OVER the ropes and into the ring!

He picks him up on his shoulders for a powerbomb but Scorpion grabs onto the top ropes and finally pulls himself over Red and back onto the apron. The Ace turns around and Scorpion punches him across the face. The Ace backs away holding his jaw in pain as Scorpion climbs the turnbuckle. He then leaps at The Ace for a flying clothesline but The Ace catches him and almost instantly slams him down with a powerslam!
Cole: Damn! That was a hard hit the mat!
King: I know! That was a huuuge counter!
The Ace gets to one knee and looks down at the barely-moving Scorpion. Fusion then looks to the cheering crowd, then looks over to the ramp where a ladder is set up as a decoration. The Ace gets to his feet and climbs out of the ring leaving Scorpion behind. He walks over to the ladder and folds it back up. The Ace carries it back towards the ring with all of a sudden Scorpion flies through the middle ropes and dropkicks the ladder and The Ace! The Ace rolls backwards, dropping the ladder on the ramp. Scorpion holds his thigh in pain but continues to push himself. Scorpion stumbles on his feet and walks over to The Ace holding his abdomen. Scorpion stomps on him and yells something about his mama or something. He then grabs the ladder and walks over to the ring. Scorpion slides it into the ring, following shortly after. He quickly sets it up in the middle of the ring and begins climbing. He gets halfway up and The Ace nails him in the back with his forearm. It stops Scorpion and Red gets under Scorpions thighs on his shoulders. He carries over to the ropes and powerbombs him out of the ring! The Ace falls to one knee, still needing to catch his breath. He finally turns to the ladder and repositions it. Red starts slowly climbing it, reaching the top of the ladder with his hand. Red finally gets to where he can touch the X*Crown title but then Scorpion climbs after him, grabbing a hold of Reds foot. Red jerks his foot and finally nails Scorpion in the face, but Scorpion doesnt release. He jerks The Ace off the ladder and Red lands on his feet. Scorpion begins punching him into the ropes and mocks him. He then goes to clothesline him over but Red ducks and gets behind Scorpion. He grabs a hold of Scorpions waste and goes for a German Suplex, but Scorpion swings his elbow into Reds abdomen. Scorpion grabs the bent over Reds head and goes for a suplex. He lifts him up but drops him back down to his feet, just realizing how heavy he is. He goes to pick him up again but Red blocks it with his foot. He then punches Scorpion in the gut and locks in for a suplex of his own. He lifts Scorpion into the air and holds him there. For five seconds. Then pulls back and completes the suplex, but Scorpion hits the ladder, knocking it over, and finally landing on it! Scorpion almost immediately gets off the ladder and onto his feet, holding his back in agony, and then drops to his knees.
Cole: Finally, the ladder has come into play.
King: This is where it really gets dangerous.
The Ace stumbles a bit, and then stomps over to Scorpion who is still on his knees. He grabs Scorpions head from behind, forcing him up. The Ace picks up Scorpion for a body slam, but Scorpion struggles and gets himself behind Red, then shoves him into the turnbuckle. Red stumbles back and Scorpion leg trips him, causing Red to fall back and smack his head on to the top of the ladder (its still on the ground). Red jolts around on the mat, holding his head in pain. Scorpion steps over him and grabs the ladder. He picks it up and rests it against the turnbuckle. Scorpion stomps on The Ace a bit and drags him closer to the turnbuckle. He then climbs through the ropes onto the apron, and climbs the turnbuckle that the ladder is on. He gets himself positioned on the opposite side of the ladder, away from The Ace, and shoves himself and the ladder tottering off of the turnbuckle. The ladder comes down as Red just rolls out of the way in time as the ladder was going to crash right onto his head! Red gets to his feet, bouncing off the ropes and charges Scorpion. Scorpion gets up and quickly dodges a clothesline. Red stops himself, quickly turns around, and nails Scorpion in the back shoulders with the clothesline! Scorpion crashes into the ladder headfirst! Scorpion can be heard cursing as he spits away and falls next to the ladder. The Ace stumbles over to the ropes, drops down, and rolls out of the ring. He flips the apron up and starts looking around under the ring. He grabs another ladder and slides it into the ring. He then pulls out a table and slides it in after the ladder. He finally climbs back up onto the apron and through the ropes. He lifts up Scorpion by the head, and exposes that Scorpion is bleeding profusely. He forces Scorpion over to the ladder and snapmares him on top of it. The Ace takes the other ladder and props it up. He begins to climb up it and continuously looks down to Scorpion who is just kicking a bit with his leg, trying to regain himself. The Ace gets to the top of the ladder, still about 5 feet off to the side away from the X*Crown title. The Ace jumps off with a body splash but Scorpion quickly dodges out of the way and BAM!! THE ACE LANDS ON THE LADDER WITH HIS RIBS!! The Ace lets out yells of agony as he holds his abdomen/chest area, where he landed.
Cole: OH MY GOD!!
King: The Ace almost killed himself!
Cole: This is a window of opportunity for Scorpion to win the match!
Scorpion sits up against the ropes, still bleeding, and now has a crimson mask of blood. He pulls himself up and grabs the ladder, repositioning it under the X*Crown title. He begins to climb, looking up at the X*Crown title. The Ace starts pulling himself up with the ropes and looks around the arena. He rests against the ropes and looks at Scorpion, who is reaching for the handcuffs that are keeping the X*Crown title suspended! The Ace stumbles forward over the ladder on the mat and starts pushing on the ladder that Scorpion is on! Scorpion flails his arms and grabs onto the X*Crown title! The ladder falls without him and hits on the ropes. The Ace looks up at Scorpion dangling. The Ace kicks the ladder to the side and grabs the other one. He aims for Scorpion and like a javelin with two hands, he nails Scorpion in the stomach with it! Scorpion releases one hand though, but still holds on. The Ace tosses the other ladder to the side and jumps up and reaches for Scorpions boot. He grabs it and walks back, he then runs and swings Scorpion forward. SCORPION SLIPS HIS GRASP AND LANDS ON THE ROPES NECK FIRST! Scorpion spills backwards in a flash and lands on the ringside mat hard! A Holy Shit chant breaks out as Scorpion holds his throat in pain, signaling he cant breath. The referee slides over by Scorpion and checks on him. He motions for a medic. The Ace rests against the ropes, watching from the other side of the ring.
Cole: HOLY SHIT! I THINK THE ACE KILLED SCORPION!!
King: .OH MY FUCKING GOD!
The Ace looks up to the X*Crown title but looks over to Scorpion, who is already starting to push himself up. Red shakes his head and walks over to the ropes to the side of the ring, just a corner away from Scorpion. He pulls out the table from the ring and sets it up between the barricade and the ring. The Ace then walks past the ring steps to where Scorpion is and grabs him by the head, pulling up the weak Scorpion. Scorpion is still catching his breath, looking like Hell. The Ace pulls Scorpion by the head, forcing him over to the table to finally take him out on. The Ace slams Scorpions head down on the table and then forces Scorpions head between his legs. Red holds his arms out, signaling for a powerbomb through the table. Scorpion then drops down to one knee and rams his arm into Red Fusions junk! The Ace is bent over, holding himself in pain. Scorpion presses against the barricade and then finally hits The Ace with the scissors kick! Scorpion rolls into the ring, and grabs the ladder. He sets it up and looks to the X*Crown title. He starts climbing the ladder, slowly, dripping blood on the sets. He gets almost to the top with The Ace crawls into the ring. He crawls across the ring to the other side and grabs the bottom of the ladder. Scorpion swipes at the X*Crown title once again, once again so close to winning But its too late. The Ace picks up the ladder from the bottom and starts teetering it. He finally gets to where he can push it and does so towards the table! The Ace then balances himself and kicks Fusion. The Ace taunts to the crowd. He's not thinking about doing this. The Ace jumps off. BAM!! A FAMEACER FROM THE LADDER TO THE TABLE! And The Ace jumped from ladder to ladder to get so. The fans break out in a another "holy shit" chant.
Cole: OH MY GOD! THE ACE, FOR THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT, HAS KILLED SCORPION!
King: .Im. Im fucking speechless, man.
The Ace gets up slowly and rests against the ropes and looks up to the X*Crown title. He puts the ladder back into place and plants his foot on the first step. Then the second step, then the third, forth, fifth steps. Next thing you know, The Ace is in the heavens as he's looking at the X*Crown title. He grabs it and the WWO title. The bell rings as The Ace rests on top of the ladder, a freakin mess.
Winner and STILL X*Crown Champion: "The Ace" Jake Conway
Cole: This is turning to be one of the craziest PPV's to date.
King: Agreed.
We go backstage just after the match between Scorpion and Jake Conway, with Tara just walking around backstage in her casual clothes. She was still disappointed about the fact that she did not have a match on this night, but got to thinking as we went to later in the evening that it could be good to finally get some rest. But this whole night has still been a hassle! It seemed as if she was becoming the center of attention without even having to step foot inside the ring not something that she was really looking forward to, but it was just something that she had to deal with. But while standing at her lonesome, preparing just to watch her fianc participate in this match against who was now found out to be her brother-in-law, she was met by someone---it was none other than a member of the Revival, this time it was Rancor. Although she has yet to turn around to see Rancor, she felt the presence of someone staring directly at her, but she wasnt certain who it was almost convinced that it was Charlie because of what happened earlier in the evening, she spoke.
: "Charlie, I gave you my answer earlier."Tara turned around surprised to see that it wasnt Charlie Velez rather, it was Rancor. She sighed, confused whether she really wanted it to be Charlie, or if she wouldve rather had it no one being there but she continued to speak.
: "Excuse me. Rancor. Sorry. But Ive already given my answer to Charlie tonight, and I havent changed my mind." : "Listen, Tara, I know that everyone has tried to speak to you about this except for me! But you dont understand the way that we do Charlie makes a lot of sense with what he says, and if you just give it all a chance Im sure youll understand everything just as we have."Tara began to laugh to herself while shaking her head.
: "Rancor, youre a puppet! As soon as you understand that everything Charlie said came from becoming a crazed alcoholic after disappearing, then youll be able to get your career back on track and even show people why youre one of the best there ever was. I cant help you if youre not going to listen to me rather than Charlie, though." : "I dont need to listen to you! You need to listen to me! And Charlie, and Venom and your brother. You could help us save the XHF, Tara."She continued to shake her head and tried pushing her way past Rancor. Rancor did what Charlie usually does, and block her off from leaving and this whole night, she was not able to use a match as an excuse to get past them, so she had to find another way. This time, she gave herself some distance from the member of Revival---but she heard footsteps behind her, and feared a bit that they were attempting more pressure this time around to try and force her to join the Revival.
: "Listen, Im not joining. I can sit here all night if youd like to keep it that way, but Im not joining."Rancor was looking past Tara for a moment, and gave a sneer to the person that stood behind her. He was just watching as this entire event unfolded Tara still thought it was another person from the Revival, but wasnt turning around to see if it really was.
: "The New Blood hasnt taken too kindly to you! Thats why they always face you, and aim to beat you because youre just like us, to them! You are one of the veterans, and they dont like you for that. Youre not gaining their acceptance."The person had finally heard enough, so he stepped in front of Tara and it was recognized that it was Shiyen, the person that fought Venom earlier in the evening and had even fought Tara a couple weeks back.
: "Hey, man, back off! She gave you her answer and shes not joining the Revival." : "You need to mind your own business!"Rancor took a step forward and tried to grab Shiyen ready to kick his ass, but Shiyen showed no signs of intimidation and was pulling back a bit. But he was being overpowered, until suddenly Tara took a step back and delivered a devastating super kick directly to the jaw of Rancor, sending him back and down flat on the ground! Shiyen looked astonished, and looked towards Tara for a moment who was making sure that Shiyen was okay.
: "Thanks, Im getting pretty sick of these people." : "No problem."While the two were still standing backstage over the dazed Rancor, Charlie Velez had finally come onto the scene he looked to be in complete shock by what had happened, and kept glancing up at Tara, then back down at Rancor.
: "What what happened?"Charlie looks a little bit frustrated with the actions of Tara, and he started to kneel down to make sure Rancor was alright. He was starting to come to, but Taras eyes didnt fall away from Charlie.
: "Tara, Ive had enough of these games! Im sick of seeing you choosing the side of these people! Gastro, Tara, Im going to take you out there. And if you lose then you come to the Revival." : "Fine by me, but if I win then you all have to back the fuck off! Because Ive given my answer plenty of times, and Im sick of being harassed every time I come into the building by all of you."Tara tapped the shoulder of Shiyen, still not turning away from Charlie. Charlie looked completely angry with Tara now, while Tara was leading Shiyen away from the scene for their own safety. They knew that if they stood there for too long that the rest of the Revival might show up. We go back out to the arena while Charlie was still trying to wake Rancor up.
The arena darkens out as guitar's begin to wail over the p.a. system. A black silhouette comes over the Xtreme Tron showing a Spike Impailer being hit.
The guitars kick in louder and the vocals begin as Spike Kane walks out onto the stage through a huge cloud of smoke.
"Man's becoming more corrupt now,
godless, wicked, and cruel!
The soulless man stood silenced,
Mary's "word" rang so true!
Chastisement worse than the flood,
spread the word, its all through
Don't kill the messenger girl!
As if we haven't swam enough in this life of miseeeeery!!
Spike stands on the entranceramp, his arms outstretched arching backwards slighty, his fits balled.
"Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time!"
Spike gets to the ring and walks up the stairs cockily, he bounces along the apron and steps into the ring through the middle rope.
"We've grown in numbers six hundred sixty six
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
Eclipse and heaven shall fall
Now I know I've seen it all in my life of miseeeery!"
Spike then walks up to the turnbuckle, looking out to the crowd before arching backwards once more, his arms outstretched sideways, fists balled.
"Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Fell sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in your own tears
A stab in the dark and it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time!
Spike stands on the turnbuckle smirking at the crowd before dropping down to his feet and shaking his legs and arms as the music dies out and the lights return to normal.
King: Here comes the #1 Contender, Spike Kane, former XHF Champion himself...
Cole: This promises to be one hell of a match.
The yelling intro of All That Remains' "This Calling" fills the arena as the lights go out. Blue strobe light starts up as the crowd rocks out to the song, awaiting the next wrestler to come out down to the ring.
I secretly crave, crave that scent again
Still feel it pressing on me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steal my nerves for temptations at hand again
The strobe light stops only to see it start again, this time with a reddish hue to it. A faint silhouette is shown in the entry way, kneeling down with his head down. There is also a white mist surrounding the area where the silhouette is at. The crowd knows who it is at this point and they start to all throw their arms out in preparation for who is about to do it.
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
The strobe light stops as pyro explodes as a red spotlight shines brightly on Reckless Jack as he is kneeling down. He springs to his feet and throws his arms out, XHF World Heavyweight Title secured around his waist. The fans are booing seeing Reckless Jack as he starts to headbang to the song. Reckless Jack looks on at the fans, some of which happening to be telling him to go die while others are still cheering for him. Reckless Jack smirks as he starts to walk down to the ring in his wrestling attire, which is basically a Reckless Jack hoodie, jean shorts, and boots. The spotlight stays on him as the people continue to boo or cheer, whichever. He threatens a few of the booing fans on his way down to the ring.
No secrets deception for these would tear this down
I'll note the past spare the pain (spare the pain)
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never forget these choices were made by me
Once Reckless Jack is in the middle of the ramp, he stops and starts to hype himself up as he takes the title off his waist and lifts it high. A string of pyro shoots down the ramp as he brings the arm back down. He continues threatening the booing fans. After he gets to the ring apron, he rolls into the ring, hopping on the nearest turnbuckle, throwing out his arms once more, the title still in his hand. The crowd booing, as he hops down and does the same on the opposite turnbuckle. He jumps off the turnbuckle, then crouches down with the XHF World Heavyweight Title in hand, waiting for his opponent.
Cole: And heres the XHF Champion, Reckless Jack.
King: Think he can hold onto his title? I Do! My money's on the champ!
Cole: I think he has just as much of a chance as Spi-
King: Typical face-announcer response, cockhole.
No Disqualification Match for the XHF World Heavyweight Championship
"The Spiked One" Spike Kane vs. Reckless Jack (c)
*Before the bell rings, the audience is on their feet as the electricity is being fed off of them to the men in the ring. The ring-announcer gets out of the ring. The competitors stand on opposite sides of the ring, both slightly warming up by jumping around but then stop as the referee calls them both over. They walk to the middle of the ring and get into each others faces. Jack unsnaps his belt and hands it to the referee. The referee grabs it and holds it in the air, showing that its on the line. He then walks away from the two to hand it to the timekeeper. Meanwhile, both men are seen talking shit to each other, until Jack bitch slaps Spike. Spike just turns his head slightly but then looks at Jack, angrily. He gets face to face with him just as the referee breaks them up. They stand back and Spike can be seen nodding at Jack and grinning from the slap. The referee motions and the bell rings to begin the match!
Cole: What a cheap shot by the champion!
King: But Spike took it in and I guarantee that it isnt going to help Jack one bit.
Cole: I will remind you folks at home that this IS a No Disqualification match. That means no holds barred, weapons can be used, anything goes!
King: Cole, just tell them that its going to be one hell of a match and if youre easily offended by hardcore violence, it may be best to turn away.
Cole: Ok, this is go-
King: No.

Cole: and we see our first cheap tactic in this match!
King: with something like the World Heavyweight Championship on the line, you knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
*Jack gets to his feet and taunts Spike as Spike lies on the ground holding his head. Jack gets onto the turnbuckle and perches, waiting for Spike.

He bends down and starts yelling at Spike to his face, before Spike thumbs Jack in the eye! Jack stumbles but then Spike wraps his arms around Jacks legs and sweeps him onto his back! Spike gets himself to his feet with his arms still around Jacks legs. He pulls his legs up and tries to turn Jack into a Boston Crab submission hold.

Jack catches himself from flipping over the steps and regains control. Spike sits helpless against the stops as Jack looks around for something. He pushes the timekeeper away and grabs his seat, a steel chair.
King: AND THERE IT IS! THE FIRST WEAPON!
Cole: We knew this would happen!
*Jack exposes the steel chair to the crowd and turns to an unsuspecting Spike with a sadistic look; an evil grin. He stalks Spike with the chair in hand and waits for Spike to push himself up. Spike finally gets himself up, hes wobbly, but hes up. Spike turns around to Jack with his arms at his side.

Cole: Spike with a great counter!
King: Put your money on Spike, folks! Hes gonna win it all!
*Spike grabs the chair by its feet and the crowd goes crazy, until at least Spike drops it. Spike rolls out of the ring and looks around under the ring. He pulls something out a ladder! A normal sized ladder is removed from under the ring and set to the side next to the announcers table. He then grabs another ladder and slides it out, this time much bigger. He hoists it up and holds it against the ring as then Jack baseball slides into the ladder and into Spike, knocking him back! Spike rolls back onto his back, dropping the ladder to his side and crashing it down onto the announcers table. Spike holds his ribs in pain as he pushes himself up. Jack rolls out of the ring, still woozy from earlier. He grabs the big ladder and creates a low bridge by putting it onto the apron and having it rest between the apron and the announcers table. Jack punches Spike and gets him up against the announcers table. Jack then gets up close to Spike and knees Spike in the groin! Spike wants to fall to his knees, but Jack keeps him up and hoists him up onto the ladder, laying him on top of it. Jack slides into the ring and catches a quick breath before running to the opposite side. He bounces off of the ropes, jumps onto the top rope, and springboards off and hits Spike with a Springboard Shooting Star Press onto the ladder! The ladder tips over to its side and both men roll off of it onto the ringside, but Spike starts flopping like a fish, trying to grab his back as its in so much pain.
Cole: SPRINGBOARD SHOOTING STAR FROM RECKLESS JACK!
King: Hes being Reckless! I love it! Put your money on Reckless Jack!
*Jack struggles to pull himself up and puts his hand on his chest; the exciting move hurt him as well. Spike however is bent on the ground, his abdomen in the air as he bends his back the wrong way. Jack grabs the ladder by the steps and brings it completely into the ringside. Spike starts pulling himself up using the apron as Jack tries to open the ladder up. Jack sets up just as Spike turns to him. Jacks eyes widen and he pushes the ladder into Spikes face, knocking him back down to his knees. He keeps the ladder upright and walks under the ladder.

Spike holds his throat in pain before Jack picks him up into a firemans carry. He throws him over his shoulders and into his knee, hitting the Trigger Full of Promises! Spike puts his arms over his abdomen. Jack looks down at Spike, then up at the standing-tall ladder. He then grabs Spike and rolls him on top of the announcers table, and slowly begins to climb the ladder. Jack gets to the top and looks down at Spike, still lying on the table holding his stomach. Jack turns to him and the crowd gets to their feet. Jack then quickly jumps off, doing a 630, The Kill! He crashes into AN EMPTY TABLE as Spike rolls off the edge just in time! The table seems to explode underneath Jack as the walls of it come blasting out from under.
Cole: RECKLESS JACK MAY HAVE JUST COMMITTED CAREER SUICIDE!
King: Amazing! I cant believe Spike got out of the way in time! Put your money on Spike, folks!
*Jack lays in the mess, appearing to be unconscious, as Spike is shown moving around slowly. Spike stumbles to his feet, using the apron and the bottom rope to help him up. He stumbles around aimlessly for a couple seconds before regaining his sea legs. He stumbles towards Jack and pins him, but the referee refuses to saying the pin must be made in the ring. Spike nods his head, no arguing, and grabs the lifeless Jack by the arm and the leg, pulling him up into a firemans carry. He gets to the apron and rolls his lifeless body into the ring and rolls in after him. He quickly moves him away from the ropes and pins him, 1..2.KICKOUT! JACK KICKED OUT! Spike looks at the referee in disbelief, but then pins him again, hooking the leg, 1.2KICKOUT! He hooks both legs, 1..2KICKOUT! He rolls up Jack into a school-boy pin, 1.2KICKOUT AGAIN! Jack refuses to let Spike win and Spike hits the mat with his fist. Spike sits there on his knees and ponders for a second. He looks around and snaps his fingers, his face lights up with an idea. He gets up and begins to leave, but turns around and stomps on Jack, then turns back around and leaves the ring. He looks under the ring for something He puts on some gloves and pulls it out, a mess of barbed wire.
Cole: Oh my God, I think Spikes going to take this match too far!
King: Thats why you need to put your money on him; hes doing whatever it takes to put Jack away!
*Spike slowly and carefully climbs into the ring, dragging the barbed wire behind him. He puts it into a corner of the ring, against a turnbuckle. He walks over to Jack whos finally starting to stir around. He stomps on his chest a couple of times before helping him up. He grabs him by the arm and tries to Irish whip him into the turnbuckle but Jack jumps up onto the top of it! He steadies his balance and then does a Moonsault into DDT onto Spike! The crowd begins to boo as Jack sits there and then pins Spike, 1..2. KICKOUT! The crowd cheers again as Jack gets to his feet and shakes the top rope in anger. He violently picks up Spike and gets him with a European Uppercut. He puts him over his shoulder and goes towards the barbed-wire turnbuckle, looking for a slam into the barbed wire. Spike wiggles out and behind Jack, dropkicks him, and sends Jack into the barbed-wire covered turnbuckle! Jack stumbles back, his arms up and starts yelling in pain as blood slowly drips out all around his body. Jack turns around exposing his flesh wounds to Spike, surprising Spike by the level of damage done. Jack falls to his knees and looks at Spike as blood runs down his body to the mat. Spike walks over to Jack, but walks right into a low blow! Spike falls to his knees right in front of Jack, and Jack spits in his face!
Cole: WHAT A DIRTY MOVE BY JACK!
King: Put your mon-
Cole: Will you please SHUT THE HELL UP?!
King: .aww.
*Jack gets to his feet, blood still dripping all over the mat. He hooks his arm under Spikes arm and throws him into the bottom of the barbed-wired turnbuckle! Spikes back is cut up by the barbed wire as he struggles to free himself. He violently thrashes about, only making it worse. Spike spills out of the turnbuckle, covered in his own blood. He quickly is up to his feet, getting away from the turnbuckle when CRACK! Jack slams the chair from earlier into Spikes unprotected face! Spike lands with a sick thud as Jack flips the chair to the ground. Spike begins to bleed from his nose as Jack pins him, 12KICKOUT! KICKOUT BY SPIKE! Jack cant believe it! He pulls on his own hair in frustration and grabs the chair. He stands over Spike and rams the back of the chair into Spikes abdomen several times before dropping the chair and pinning Spike again, 1.2KICKOUT! Jack stands on one knee, catching his breath, his blood mixing with Spikes blood on the canvas. Jack gets up and grabs the gloves left behind next to the barbed wire. He picks up a part of the barbed wire and wraps it around Spikes neck! He starts choking him with the barbs rubbing against Spikes neck, trying to slash his throat! The referee starts trying to get Jack to stop, prompting Jack to let go and push the referee down. Jack starts yelling at the referee as Spike crawls over to Jack. He gets to one knee and flips Jack onto his back by grabbing onto his lower leg and moving it out from under him. He grabs the barbed wire barehanded and starts wrapping it around Jacks leg. Jack starts punching Spike and trying to cut him with a piece of the barbed wire, but Spike tightens the wire on Jacks leg causing him to yell in agony. Spike starts dragging Jack across the ring by the wire, ripping flesh down Jacks leg. Jack struggles to maintain himself as he screams in pain.
Cole: Spike is absolutely DESTROYING Jacks leg!
King: Absolutely! Put you- I mean Eh
*Jack grabs onto the wire with one hand and starts pulling Spike back towards him. They start a tug of war as Jacks leg bleeds profusely all over the canvas. Jack plants his torn-up foot into Jacks abdomen and monkey flips him over! Spike lets go of the wire in the process. Spike starts pulling himself up, but Jack holds onto his badly cut-up leg in pain, too hurt to move. Both men are bleeding from all over their bodies while Spike is also bleeding from his face and Jack is bleeding horrendously from his leg. Spike catches his breath as Jack rolls over to his hands and knees, but keeps a hand on his leg. Jack gets to his feet, putting more weight on his healthier one. Spike walks over and Jack hits him with a one-legged dropkick-sault! Spike falls back onto the barbed wire left in the middle of the ring! Spike yells in pain as Jack crawls over and tries to make the pin, 1.2KICKOUT! Spike makes the kickout, but cuts his back up even worse from the motion! Jack turns Spike onto his stomach and puts Spike into the Enjoy the Silence! He gets him into the submission hold right there in the barbed wire! Spike starts yelling in pain as Jack can be heard yelling at him to give up already. Spikes face presses against the barbed wire, puncturing his face. Just when it seems Spikes going to give up, Jacks badly-cut leg gives out from under him and he slips, breaking the hold. Jack holds his leg in pain as Spike tries to push himself out of the barbed wire. Thick blood drips from Spikes face onto the mat, a .8 on the Mutoh-scale.
King: This isnt even a wrestling match anymore! Its a fight to the death!
Cole: Spike is refusing to give up; the contender is putting up one hell of a fight!
*Jack grabs onto the ropes and tries to pull himself up, trying not to put any weight on his horribly cut leg. Spike climbs out of the barbed wire as well, looking just as bad as Jack. Its like car wreck in the ring, and the survivors of it are staring at each other. Spike kicks the barbed wire to the side and Jack wobbles out of his side of the ring. Spike motions to Jack to bring it, and Jack grins while blood drips off his lips and to the canvas. Jack, putting most of his weight on his healthier foot, jogs to Spike and greets Spike with a right hand. Spike punches back, Jack follows him up with another, and Spike lays a good one into Jacks face! Jack stumbles back and then collapses on his weak leg to his knee. Spike tries to grab Jack by the head, but Jack punches him in the stomach not once, but twice. He starts getting back to his feet and knees Spike in the stomach with his bad leg. Jack then scratches Spike across the eyes; also working the cuts on his face! Jack puts Spike onto his shoulders into the Torture Rack, the Reckless Killing 2.0 coming up next! Wait, Spike drops to his feet out of the move as Jacks leg collapses again! Jack turns around and Spike then hits Jack with his patented Super-Fast-Superkick! The crowd cheers loudly as Spike collapses on top of Jack, totally out of energy but manages to lay on top of him for the pin: 1.2.3! SPIKE WINS!
Winner and NEW XHF Champion: Spike Kane!
Cole: AND THERE HE IS! YOUR NEW XHF CHAMPION!
King: that was ONE HELL of a match!
Cole: The match itself was Hell indeed, King! But Spike managed to totally work the leg of Reckless Jack, making it a critical factor in this match-up.
King: Night night, erybody!
*Spike lays breathing on top of Jacks breathing body in their own bloody mess. The referee checks on them as medics rush down to the ring. The crowd still applauds Spikes and Jacks efforts in this match, giving them a standing ovation. The medics get into the ring and get an almost-dead Spike off of an almost-dead unconscious Reckless Jack. We fade out to the XHF Logo as XHF Retribution comes to an end
