The Xtreme Hardcore Federation Presents:
XHF Rumble '08
February 24th, 2008
The Georgia Dome
Atlanta, Georgia
Stadium Capacity: 71,149
*Following a short video intro for the event we open up to the night's frenzied arena crowd with the official XHF Rumble event banner on the Xtreme-Tron, explosions going off all over the place and the show theme for this broadcast of "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold playing loudly across the PA System. We then zoom over to ringside moments later and the theme ends as the action is about to begin for tonight with the first in-ring activity on this year's edition of the proverbial Rumble in the Jungle live on Pay-Per-View....*
Cole: Hello everyone and welcome to the XHF Rumble. I promise you folks that tonight you wont be disappointed.
King: Thats right! Because my boy Steve Awesome is taking his US Title back AND winning the XHF Rumble!
Cole: I wouldnt bet on that, King.
King: Too late for that. Come on, baby. Daddy needs to keep his legs.
Cole: Well first up we have JFK vs. MGK. Brother vs. Brother in a Last Man Standing Match. Its going to be brutal to say the least.
The familiar sound of the intro and classic bass line for Van Halens's "Running with the Devil" comes over the P.A. system as the house lights go out and a golden hue of lights over takes the arena.
Cole: Well here comes JFK first.
The music continues to play but JFK does not emerge.
Cole: Well.I thought so anyway.
Running with the Devil continues to play as the fans look on in confusion.
King: HA! Maybe he got scared, Cole.
Cole: I dont think so, King. Im getting word that there is something going on in the back! We take you there now.
King: Why dont I ever get word from the back?
We cut back to the parking lot of the arena where we see a bloody JFK staggering his brother backward with a vicious jab to the bridge of the nose. An also bloodied MGK falls backward onto the hood of somebodys red car. JFK finds a nearby lead pipe and swings it down onto the skull of MGK but he manages to roll out of the way at the last second allowing the pipe to dent the hood instead of his head. Still surprised that he missed that JFK gives MGK a moment to get behind his older brother and club him in the back of his head. JFK stumbles forward onto the car himself. MGK grips him by the hair and bashes his skull on the hood of the car a few times before stumbling to a knee to catch his breath.
Cole: Well, it appears that these two couldnt wait for the introduction. Or the match to even start. Sources say that JFK waited for MGK to get to the arena, and they have been fighting in that parking lot ever since.
King: And with all those cars, tools, stacked barrels, and all the other tools of mischief strategically placed around that horrible pit of deathI really cant see things going very well for either of them.
Last Man Standing Match
JFK vs. MGK
MGK walks up to his brother but JFK quickly drives an elbow into his stomach. And then follows up with a discus lariat taking MGK straight down to the concrete. JFK finds a baseball bat near by and picks it up. He inspects it and then gives it a few practice swings. Then he starts sizing up MGK. MGK begins to get up but takes a good swing from the baseball bat to the ribs!
Cole: OUCH! Bat right to the ribs!
King: JFK wants to end his brother tonight. He wont be pulling any punches.
JFK smiles as he watches his little brother writhe in pain. He tosses the bat to the side and picks him up. And drops him back down to the concrete with his patented Double Arm DDT! MGK goes lifeless as a ref finally appears on the scene. JFK leans on a car nearby as he watches the ref begin the count.

Cole: What!? This is how its going to end? After a year of build up?

King: Well they have been fighting for awhile. That shot to the ribs must have been the end of MGKs rope.
7...........
8....................
9............................
But then something amazing happens. Gingerly, but still pretty quickly, MGK gets up! JFK is shocked and the crowd in attendance are on there feet. MGK glares at his brother, still holding his ribs as JFK looks around for some kind of plan. He spots the baseball bat he used earlier and scrambles for it but MGK presses it down with his foot. He shakes his head and kicks it to the side.
Cole: Look at that! MGK is back on his feet. And he is motioning for them to finally finish it! No weapons. Just man to man! Brother to brother.
King: This is going to get ugly.
JFK gets to his feet and raises his fists up as does MGK. They circle around as JFK hits a couple quick jabs and a haymaker as MGK stumbles back again. JFK walks in more to finish him off but MGK fires back with a few shots of his own. Then he kicks JFK in the head with a his super kick finisher! JFK goes down hard as the ref starts his count.

Cole: Man, that super kick can come from anywhere!
King: JFK didnt see it coming thats for sure.
JFK gets back to his feet. And the brothers go back to fist fighting. MGK starts getting the best of him until JFK kicks his bro in the nads. JFK then shoves his brother into a barrel. This barrel happens to be one of a bunch of barrels all stacked up against a wall. And the whole thing shakes on the impact.
Cole: I dont like the look of this King!
King: Me either! And I usually like this sort of thing!
JFK looks up and sees whats going on. He gets a sick grin on his face and he starts shaking the barrel. MGK stops him before they do any damage and he pushes JFK into another barrel as the whole structure shakes more violently. JFK gets up and dodges another super kick and MGK nails another barrel. But this time it all falls down on top of the brothers.
Cole: OH MY GOD! Both Karns have disappeared underneath those barrels.
King: I cant see them but the ref is counting.

King: I dont think so but wait a second.look at this!

And somehow.JFK manages to pull himself out of the pile and he falls on top of a barrel.

WINNER: JFK!!!!!!!!!
*The lights in the arena go down to black. Suddenly two giant pyros shoot off from either side of the stage as the crowd is slammed into the chorus of Electric Light Orchestras variation on In the Hall of the Mountain King. The Xtreme-Tron looks as if a hole is being burned through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird, suddenly, the entire area of the bird lights up with flames, a phoenix. The letters XHF fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on with shots of Mongo's career within the phoenix. The song continues as a black bird image emblazoned with XHF is projected onto the ring mat. The letters H and F are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross forming an X. As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks under the large X above him. He then makes his way down to the ring amidst a cheering crowd.*
Cole: And here comes XHF's illustrious owner out, hoping to once and for all punch his ticket to the Night of Champions main event and quite possibly recapture the XHF Title once again in due time.
King: Indeed Cole, though on the other hand none of the above may be Mongo's destiny if THIS next monster by the name of Mr. X has anything to say about it...
*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 parole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge.
Two red pyros go off on stage forming an X. "Opium of the People" by Slipknot hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed in an X formation in front of his face. Pain Jane walks out behind him wearing a hooded cloak. He has a chain wrapped around his left arm. He slowly spreads his arms apart as Jane moves under them and runs one of her hands down his chest. Once Mr. X's arms are fully stretched, Jane removes the hood from her head and has an evil grin upon her face as she looks out into the crowd. Mr. X has a look of determination on his face. They then walk down to the ring, never changing there attitudes. Mr. X stops at the base of the ring as Jane climbs onto the apron and feels the top rope. She then looks back at Mr. X with a sadistic smile and then flips backward while holding the top rope to land on her feet in the ring. Mr. X then climbs into the ring by grabbing the top rope and pulling himself onto the apron and then stepping over the top rope. He unravels the chain from around his arm and starts to laugh. He hands the chain to Jane and she holds onto it as she leaves the ring and gets into his corner. Mr. X tightens his gloves as he awaits the match to start.*
"Big List" Tournament Finals Singles Match
Mongo the Destroyer vs. Mr. X
Mr.X and Mongo stand across from each other in the ring. The bell then rings to start off this long awaited showdown! And the match is on! Mongo slowly walks around the ring with a very cocky smile on his face at the moment. X walks around like nothing is bothering him at all one bit on the other hand. Mongo walks over slowly to X. Thereafter he pust his hand up offering the test of strength to Mr.X . X looks around at the crowd, and they all cheer wanting him to accept Mongo's gesture at this point. Out of nowhere X then suddenly slaps Mongo right across the face instead. Mongo falls briefly to the ground, and hed soon get to his hands, and knees. Mr.X then walks over, and delivers a stiff kick right to the stomach of Mongo who is now rolling on the ground holding his gut a bit.
Cole: Mr.X doesnt seem to want to mess around at all tonight my friend.
King: No doubt, especially with the stakes being quite so high in terms of Night of Champions itself.
Mr.X grabs at Mongo's head, and goes to pull him up. When he pulls him up, Mongo starts throwing punches right into the gut of Mr.X then. Mongo soon bounces off the ropes, and when he runs back toward him X ducks as Mongo runs straight into empty air as it were. Mongo turns around, and X goes for a clothesline, but Mongo somehow manages to duck this attempt. Mongo then slowly stalks the recovering X from behind before this time delivering a swift dropkick to the face of Mr.X once he's back up and turned around! X falls holding onto his face in pain as Mongo gets up quickly. He runs to the turnbuckle, and he yells Its Over. He then jumps off giving a big splash toward his adversary. Mr.X quickly puts his knees up however, and they drive hard into the chest of Mongo. Mongo rolls around in pain all over the mat. X then sits straight up. He gets up, and he picks up Mongo by the head. Mr.X then delivers one hell of a forceful chop to the chest of Mongo.
Cole: Mongo is taking a vicious chop right there.
King: Thats what I call busting someone's chops Cole.
Cole: ....You have to be kidding me man.
King: What?
Mr.X then delivers more, and more assorted chops till Mongo is backed all the way into the corner. Mr.X goes to the opposite corner of the ring. He runs and lifts the leg for the big boot. Mongo hurries to move though, and smartly ducks as Mr.Xs leg goes over the top rope. As his leg is over the rope Mongo gets behind him, and after placing him over his shoulders sends X spiraling down into a vicious spinebuster! Mr.X holds his back right away in obvious agony, and rolls to the outside of the ring temporarily. Mongo sits back up, and shakes his head in disgust over X escaping the ring altogether just now. He then gets out to the outside of the ring himself, and picks up Mr.X. He hurries, and tosses him back into the ring. Mongo rolls in right behind him, and gets on top of Mr.X for a pin attempt:
One!....
Two!....
Thre...KICKOUT!
Mongo sits up, and starts yelling at the ref regarding the speed of his previous count. He gets into the ref'ss face yelling that he counted the pin far too slow. When he argues he doesnt pay quite enough attention to Mr.X himself . X then sits up nearby, and after he gets up he turns around Mongo and grabs him by the neck. After he does, he picks him up and gives him a one hand chokeslam to the mat!
Cole: If Mongo paid more attention to his opponent instead of the ref count that wouldnt have neccessarily happened.
King: But Mongo was right though Cole! That ref counted way too slow for cryin' out loud. I mean I could make a ham sandwich with how slow he counted!
Mongo lies there motionless back inside the squared circle. Mr.X just puts his foot on his chest, and yells for the ref to make the pin count:
One!...
Two!...
Thr...
KICKOUT BY MONGO!
Mr.X picks up Mongo then. Mongo gradually battles back throwing more, and more punches at Mr.X however. He bounces off the ropes, and delivers a clothesline, but X only stutters back a slight bit unfortunately. Mongo bounces off the ropes again, and gives yet another clothesline but this too only makes X do a few stutter steps in response. Mongo then does the same thing a third consecutive time, with the same results yet again. But this time Mr.X laughs a little in the process. Mongo yells one more time, and Mr.X nods. Mongo bounces off the ropes then but Mr.X goes after him with a clothesline. Mongo ducks, bounces off the opposite side of the ropes, and gives Mr.X a big dropkick on the bounceback! Mr.X lies there holding his face. Mongo quickly makes his way back to his feet, and apparently gets really big push of adrenaline within himself just then. He hides behind Mr.X waiting for him to get up so he can give Mr.X the Xtreme Edge it would appear. He waits, and Mr.X gets up. He turns around, and Mongo goes for the Xtreme Edge. But Mr.X pushes him away at the last possible second. Mongo gets pushed into the ropes, and he bounces off. When he bounces off he goes towards Mr.X, and Mr.X grabs him when Mongo runs at him, and throws him straight into a small package DDT, aka the DDX before Mongo can recover whatsoever!!! Mr.X makes the cover with both legs tightly hooked moments later:
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings.
"Big List" Tourney Winner via Pinfall and Advancing to NoC Main Event Slot #1: MR. X!
Cole: And in what's sure to go down as another all-time classic encounter between these two Mr. X has survived, and more importantly he's advanced to Night of Champions to take on the winner of tonight's Rumble a little later on!
King: That he has Cole, although make NO mistake that Mongo won't be the least bit pleased whatsoever over this turn of events and he'll most certainly play a pivotal role one way or another in the Rumble match itself before this evening's over with...
The background noise slowly gives way to a to a cocky alternative guitar riff as Tick, Tick, Boom by The Hives begin to play over the P.A speakers. The lights in the arena fade to a complete darkness and soon a huge lightning bolt style pyro hits the entrance ramp with authority as the song breaks into its main riff and the lights in the arena blink between blue, white, and silver. And as soon as the smoke clears we finally see the man behind the show. Steve Awesome, dressed in a pair of black tights with a blue cross down the right leg and a red heart on the left with the anarchy A symbol in the middle of it and a wicked S that wraps around that. A blue sleeveless trench vest with the same heart symbol on his tights on the back of it and a pair of aviator sunglasses accompanies him to the ring. He stands on the ramp with his arms outstretched in a crucifix pose as a wind effect blows his black hair back.
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I was right along!
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
You come tagging along
The blinking lights stop blinking as a spotlight engulfs the Awesome One as it follows him down to the ring. His trenchvest sparkling in the light as he heads to the ring.
Exhibit A
On a tray
What you say
Ends up thrown in your face
Exhibit B
What you see
Well thats me
Ill put you back in your place
Awesome struts down to the ring, not paying attention to the fans who are below him as he walks down to the ring, jawing about how good he is and how awesome he is as he points to his abs.
Yeah Ive done it before
And I can do it some more
So what you waiting for?
Yeah
I was right all along
Steve grabs the middle rope and pulls himself up onto the apron, turning around and flashing that cocky smirk at all the fans in attendence, as they boo him with all the strength they can muster, but he just brushes it off. Not caring about them in the slightest. He steps into the ring and walks over to the middle and he kneels down on one knee.
You know Ive done it before
And I can do it some more
Ive got my eye on the score
Im gonna cut through the floor
Its too late
Its too soon
Or is it
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Boom!!
He raises his arms up and flexes as silver pyro rain from the ceiling and after a few moments he picks up his title and stands up, heading over to the turnbuckle to explain one more time how much better he is then the people in the crowd, or any wrestlers who entered before him and are now standing on the outside of the ring.
The house lights in the arena go low, a red hue of lights stay on and over the P.A. system we hear Tylers voice.
"First you have to give up, first you have to know... not fear... know... that someday you are going to die."
The stage starts to fill with smoke as Stone Sour's "Made of Scars" comes blasting over the P.A. system.
This one came from looking
This one opened twice
These two seem as smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
This one needed stitches and
This one came from rings
This one isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care
We see a figure in the smoke his head tilted back looking up to the heavens his arms held out wide in the crucifix pose.
Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, Cause I am Made Of Scars
Yes I am made of scars
At that point pyro go shooting off from the stage upwards towards over the ring, Price emerges from the smoke his head covered with a black do rag around his forehead covering his eyebrows, and one covering his face and bridge of his nose, only his eyes showing, a black baggy t-shirt on it with his choice of band for the week, black baggy leather type shorts one side has the Punisher Skull with the Brazilian flag layered over it. The other leg has the word Messiah written around the bottom leg. He has black knee pads and black wrestling boot's and baseball batter gloves. He wears the XHF United States Championship proudly around his waist. He makes his way down the ramp.
This one had it coming
This one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my fathers and
This one you can't see
This one had me scared to death,
But I guess I should be glad I'm not dead!!
He slaps the hands of a few fan's as he makes his way down the ramp, he takes the stairs one at a time then climbs to the outside turnbuckle, he stands on the second rope and once again throws his arms out to the side doing the crucifix pose again throwing his head back daring someone to knock him down.
Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars
God, Don't you believe it
He hops over the turnbuckle in the same motion ripping the do rag off from around his face. He makes his way across the ring and goes to the other turn buckle he stands on the 2nd rope once more this time inside the ring leaning towards the fans he slaps his chest over his heart with his fist and the other hand rips the US Title off from around his waist and he holds it up high for all to see he then points out to the crowd and then to the title, yelling "For the people by the people". He hops down and twists in mid air and hands the title over to the ref as he stretches his arms on the ropes awaiting for the match to start.
XHF United States Championship Street Fight
Steve Awesome vs. Price
Price and Awesome wait no time to get the match started as the two meet up in the center of the ring to trade blows. The brawler Price gets the upper hand, as he sends fists into Steve Awesome, sending him into the corner. Price sends a swift kick to the ribs, before grabbing Awesomes wrist. Price whips Awesome into the corner on the other side and goes to follow up with a clothesline, but Awesome ducks out of the way, waiting behind Price. Price turns around and ducks a spin kick attempt from Awesome, and grabs him in position for a back body drop. Price lifts Awesome up, but Awesome flips back onto his feet and then shoves Price forward. Price takes a few steps forward but turns around into a kick in the stomach by Awesome. Awesome attempts to lift Price onto his shoulders, possibly for the SteveKO, but Price slides off and sends a hard elbow into the face of Awesome, sending The Awesome One back a few steps. When he recovers he goes lunging for Price, but Price lifts a knee up, driving it into Awesomes stomach. Awesome falls to one knee, and Price runs to the ropes. Awesome slowly but surely gets to his feet, only to be slammed onto his mat because of a bulldog from Price! Steve Awesome rolls out of the ring, as Price is in the ring taunting to the crowd. Steve Awesome is on the outside taking his time trying to recover from the blows, but Price is having none of it as he slides out of the ring and goes after Awesome! Awesome doesnt avoid Price, and the two engage in another fist fight! As it seems like Price yet again is taking advantage, Steve Awesome dropkicks Price in the knee, sending the United States Champion down. Price holds his knee in pain, and Awesome takes advantage by stomping on Price and then grabbing his leg. Awesome drags Price near the ring steps, and sends a hard kick into Prices chest. He then grabs Prices leg with the knee he just kicked, and places it on top of the steps. Before he does anything though he chokes Price with his boot, before climbing up the apron. With Prices leg laying on the top ring step Awesome runs and leaps off the apron, driving an elbow into the knee!
Cole: Damn that looked painful!
King: Ouch!
Price shouts in pain, as Awesome stares at the crowd with a grin on his face. He kicks Price again in the chest, and then lifts him up to his feet. Awesome lifts Price up and then drops him chest first onto the railing outside of the ring, and forearms him in the back, making him stay where he is. Price regains his breath, but its kicked right out of him as Steve Awesome delivers another running dropkick into the knee of Price, this time squashing it against the railing! Price is obviously in pain, and it doesnt seem to bother Steve Awesome as he continues to drive boots into the bad knee. Awesome struts around the fallen Price, but bends over to lift him up off his feet. He grabs Price looking for a overhead belly to belly suplex. Price though shows some life as he is able to hold himself down. Awesome is able to lift him up, but with Price holding his own weight down, is only able to pick him up and place him over the railing, and into the crowd. Price punches Awesome, making him release the hold. Awesome goes for a punch of his own, but Price blocks it and retaliates with a quick left of his own. This sends Awesome stumbling back, as Price is beginning to gain momentum. Awesome slips down to one knee, the blow from Price proving harder than thought, which allows Price to walk over to a fan and take a sip of a fans drink. The fan and Price socialize a little, and an irate Awesome runs toward Price, only for Price to spit the drink into the face of Awesome! Awesome is blinded for a moment, as Price tosses the cup into the head of Awesome, and then follows over the railing. Price is noticeably limping, but hes able to grab Awesome and drive him head first into the padding with a DDT!
Cole: Price is a master of DDTs.
King: That was vicious.
Price limps over and grabs the cup he threw at Awesome and tosses it back to the fan, and then walks over to the ring steps. He pushes them off, and then drags it against the railing. He then limps over to Steve Awesome and grabs him, sending punches as he sits Awesome on top of the steps. Price then begins to send boxer like lefts into the face of Awesome, before taking a few steps back, and with the good leg, driving a yakuza kick into his face! Awesome just faints to his side, as Price is seen once again taunting to the crowd. Price grabs Awesome and just rolls him into the ring and quickly makes the cover. Steve Awesome kicks out before the count of three, almost upsetting Price. Price gets up to his feet and stomps hard onto Awesome, before walking over to the corner. He goes onto the apron, as Steve Awesome is climbing up to his feet, and when Awesome is all the way up to his feet, Price is on top of the turnbuckle. Awesome turns around and sees Price diving off attempting a clothesline, but Awesome moves out of the way, sending Price hard into the mat. Price obviously hit his knee hard against the mat, as hes seen screaming in pain, as hes climbing up to his feet. Awesome takes advantage of the weakened Price, as he grabs him and tosses him hard into the mat with a t-bone suplex. Awesome crawls over and hooks the leg of Price, 1-2-Price gets a shoulder up. Awesome gets to his knees and delivers fists into the face of Price, before lifting him up to his feet and setting him up for a suplex. Awesome lifts Price up, but instead of slamming him down against the mat, he sets him up onto the top rope. Awesome begins to climb up the turnbuckle, and when hes on the top, he looks around the arena. He does a little taunt, which allows Price to send some punches to his stomach. Awesome is resilient though, as he sends very hard forearms into the back of Price. Price settles down, and Awesome grabs the pants of Price. He lifts Price up and it looks like Awesome is going for a superplex, but instead he pushes Price forward, driving him face first into the padding below!
King: These men are killing each other.
Cole: They have such hatred for one another.
Price hit the padding very hard, and his knee is in even more pain than before. Awesome is still on the top rope though, and hes standing on top of it, as if hes on the top of the world. With a grin on his face he points to Price, and then dives off, and delivers a massive elbow into the chest of Price! The arena echoes with cheers, as Awesome lays on top of Price, taking toll from the move himself. Steve Awesome though is able to climb up to his feet, and he grabs Price, and drives his head into the announce table. Price just lays on top of the table, and Steve Awesome grabs Price, just to throw him back down onto the padding. Awesome takes off the top of the announce table, and grabs one of their monitors and holds it up in the air. He waits for Price to get on his feet, as Price is still pushing himself up. He grabs onto the ring to pull himself up and turns to Awesome, who comes running at him with a monitor in his hand. Price moves out of the way, and then sends elbows into the face of Awesome, making him drop the monitor. Price grabs Awesome and continues to send him back first into the side of the ring before hitting a hard clothesline, sending Awesome down. Price grabs onto the monitor that Steve Awesome had held in his hand, and holds it up in the air to show the fans. Price takes a few steps back and sets it up, and throws the monitor into the body of Awesome! Awesome stumbles back holding his stomach in pain and falls to his knees. Price gets up and grabs Awesome by the hair and throws him on top of the announcers table.
King: Hey! Get off of here!
Cole: Don't worry, we have a spare.
Price grabs Awesome and sets up for another DDT, but Awesome hits him with a few gut shots. Awesome gets his head free and starts hitting Price with a few good punches. Price blocks one and then hits a few shots on Awesome. Awesome blocks one and knees Price in the gut. He then tries to hip toss Price through the Spanish announce table, but Price grabs Steve's head in mid air and turns the move into a 3/4th turn cutter on Awesome and both men go crashing through the table! They lay in the carnage for a couple of seconds. Price starts to stir a little. He rolls over and pushes on Awesome to get him onto his back. He slowly does it and then puts an arm over Awesome. One, two, th-kickout! The fans are on their feet in shock. Price slowly gets up and pulls Awesome up as well. He sets up for the Price Crash, but Awesome pushes Price off of him and toward the guard rail. Price turns around and Awesome hits the Jaw Breaker! The impact sends Price backward over the rail and into the crowd! Awesome collapses on the floor from exhaustion.
Cole: These men are giving it there all here!
King: This is just unbelievable!
Awesome crawls toward the ring and pulls himself up using the apron for help. He staggers toward the rail and climbs up on it, stalking Price. Price staggers to his feet and Awesome jumps off the rail and hits him with a dropkick! Price rolls back on the cement floor and Awesome takes a few seconds on the floor to catch his breath again. Awesome gets up and grabs Price. He pulls Price up and drags him through the crowd to the wall. He slams Price's head into said wall. Price staggers back holding his head. He goes around a table covered in electrical equipment and staggers over to the steps and Awesome follows and hits Price in the back with some forearms. Price goes up the steps and Awesome follows. They're up in the next section and Awesome is hitting Price with more punches. Price hits Steve with a few back, but Awesome stops the momentum by kicking Price in his bad leg. Awesome hits Price a few more times and Price is knocked to the front row of the section. Awesome then hits a hard elbow to the face of Price and then Awesome tries to shove Price over the wall, but Price blocks the throw and elbows Awesome in the face. Price then slams Awesome's head into the top of the wall. Then he puts Awesome up on top of the wall barrier. Price then carefully climbs up as well. Price hooks Awesome for a suplex, but Awesome hits a few kidney shots on Price to block. He gets free and hits Price with an uppercut. Price gets knocked back, but keeps his balance just barely. Awesome then grabs Price and tries to lift him up on his shoulders, but Price knees Awesome in the face to get free. Price then kicks Awesome in the groin. He sets him up for a suplex, lifts him up, then falls off the wall and delivers the Payin The Price through the electrical table! Sparks fly everywhere!
Cole: OH NO!
King: OH CRAP!
When the carnage stops and the dust is settled, both men are down. Price slowly rolls over and puts an arm over Awesome. One! Two! Three!
Winner and still U.S. Champion: Price
Cole: That was an insane match!
King: These guys probably need medical attention.
*The lights die down slowly, over the PA system the sound of hissing and rattling echoes throughout the arena. A chorus of drum beats and guitar strings thump out of the arena speakers, as Hoobastanks Out of Control drives into full motion.
Pyros stream from the top of the arena and hit the stage causing a blinding light to cover the entrance way, before slowly dying down as a figure now stands at the entrance way, lightly jumping on the spot warming up before walking into the blinding mist of light. The light dies off completely as Snake lifts his head up from the lowered position it is in. the X*Crown Title wrapped around his waist. Snake slowly walks down to the ring area as he taunts the crowd pointing to his belt. He stops at the bottom of the rampway and looks around the arena before approaching the ring and climbing in through the middle rope and moves to the middle of the ring where he stands and unclips the X*Crown belt and lifts it in his hand as he stretches out his arms awaiting the applause he deserves, before moving to the corner of the ring and stretches awaiting the start of the match.*
Cole: Well Snake definitely looks ready for tonight. Although he definitely has a tough time ahead of him with the returning Chris Kanyon.
King: Well obviously, if theres anybody that can beat Kanyon its my man Snake. He is the best we have!
*A deep digital voice says "M-V-P" over the speakers. Then, "Who betta than Kanyon!?" blasts over the PA system. Kanyon comes out arms stretched, XHF title around his waist, walking down the ramp. Obsidian, La Parka, and GQ Money then come out behind him. Kanyon points to himself while shouting to crowd how good he is. Kanyon then climbs up the steps and into the ring, Obsidian, La Parka, and Money following.

Snake goes to hit Kanyon with an elbow, but he moves and hits Snake with a back elbow of his own. He then grabs Snake and goes for a Flatliner, but Snake grabs the ropes to block and Kanyon falls back hitting his head. BUZZ! *Suddenly, the arena is plunged into total darkness and the crowd looks on intently with anticipation. At this point, an ominous "Red Fist" symbol appears across the Xtreme-Tron and accompanied by it is the loud, roaring sound of guitar riffs beginning to kick in across the building's sound system. Mere seconds later, the XT screen abruptly shifts to pure static and the tension builds as after a flurry of drums kick in, the following words begin to echo throughout the building...
"(Stop the man),
Fom endin' up with all the chips so he can't,
(Promise him an only chance),
To have the freedom that's been taken from me,
(You - can - try - to - lift - your - head - no),
You fucked up with me now live with the truth,
Find a reason to lie (Try)..."
*At these very words, BOOM! An overwhelming explosion rocks the arena to it's core and in turn, the entire crowd is on it's feet with fists raised and defeaning screams of acknowledgement as the hellraising chorus of none other than "Driven" by Sevendust cuts onto the PA in full force! Rage rushes out of the entryway and to the ring!

Kanyon jumps again and Snake staggers back, not letting it happen. Kanyon knees Snake in the chest and then goes for it a third time. This time Snake stumbles back and his back hits the ropes, then both men flip over and Kanyon does hit the move, only he does so by flipping over the ropes and dropping Snake head first into the mat outside! Eliminating both men!
Eliminated: Snake and Chris Kanyon
Snakes body is lifeless outside after the sickening thud. Kanyon is rolling around, holding his lower back in pain.
Cole: Oh man, that was sick! We need help for Snake!
King: Never mind that, were down to the final three!
Price and Steve are trading punches as Mongo looks on. Price and Steve slowly stop punching each other and turn to see the big man just watching. They look at each other, then at Mongo, then back at each other. Without saying a word, both men start stalking Mongo. Meanwhile outside EMTs are now attending to Snake and Kanyon. They take Snake away on a stretcher. Mongo is trapped in a corner, looking to defend himself from these two athletes. Steve dives in first with some punches to Mongo and Mongo pushes him away. Price then comes in and hits a few shots before Mongo can shove him back. Steve comes in low and hits Mongo with some kidney shots and a kick to the leg. Price is back in as well and now both men are clubbing away at Mongo. Mongo staggers out of the corner and Price bounces off the ropes and hits Mongo with a Yakuza kick! Steve then hits Mongo with the Heart Attack! Steve pulls Mongo up off the mat and holds him, Price goes for a flying elbow, but Mongo ducks it and he hits Steve instead! Price just shrugs and then kicks Mongo a few times. Steve is back up and turns Price around and hits him with a hard slap! Price slowly turns back to Steve and hits him with a vicious chop! Steve hits another hard slap! Price hits another chop! Steve kicks Price in the gut and then lifts him for the Ego Check, but Price goes over his shoulder and falls behind. He grabs Steve and sets him up for the Crackdown. He lifts Steve up, but Steve flips out of it. Steve then grabs Prices head and hits his own move, the Pay Back! Price shoots up holding his back and Steve grabs him from behind and runs throwing him over the top rope!
Eliminated: Price
Steve turns around and Mongo kicks him in the gut. He then lifts him overhead for the Xtreme Edge and tosses him over the top rope to the floor!

XHF Rumble '08
February 24th, 2008
The Georgia Dome
Atlanta, Georgia
Stadium Capacity: 71,149
*Following a short video intro for the event we open up to the night's frenzied arena crowd with the official XHF Rumble event banner on the Xtreme-Tron, explosions going off all over the place and the show theme for this broadcast of "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold playing loudly across the PA System. We then zoom over to ringside moments later and the theme ends as the action is about to begin for tonight with the first in-ring activity on this year's edition of the proverbial Rumble in the Jungle live on Pay-Per-View....*
Cole: Hello everyone and welcome to the XHF Rumble. I promise you folks that tonight you wont be disappointed.
King: Thats right! Because my boy Steve Awesome is taking his US Title back AND winning the XHF Rumble!
Cole: I wouldnt bet on that, King.
King: Too late for that. Come on, baby. Daddy needs to keep his legs.
Cole: Well first up we have JFK vs. MGK. Brother vs. Brother in a Last Man Standing Match. Its going to be brutal to say the least.
The familiar sound of the intro and classic bass line for Van Halens's "Running with the Devil" comes over the P.A. system as the house lights go out and a golden hue of lights over takes the arena.
Cole: Well here comes JFK first.
The music continues to play but JFK does not emerge.
Cole: Well.I thought so anyway.
Running with the Devil continues to play as the fans look on in confusion.
King: HA! Maybe he got scared, Cole.
Cole: I dont think so, King. Im getting word that there is something going on in the back! We take you there now.
King: Why dont I ever get word from the back?
We cut back to the parking lot of the arena where we see a bloody JFK staggering his brother backward with a vicious jab to the bridge of the nose. An also bloodied MGK falls backward onto the hood of somebodys red car. JFK finds a nearby lead pipe and swings it down onto the skull of MGK but he manages to roll out of the way at the last second allowing the pipe to dent the hood instead of his head. Still surprised that he missed that JFK gives MGK a moment to get behind his older brother and club him in the back of his head. JFK stumbles forward onto the car himself. MGK grips him by the hair and bashes his skull on the hood of the car a few times before stumbling to a knee to catch his breath.
Cole: Well, it appears that these two couldnt wait for the introduction. Or the match to even start. Sources say that JFK waited for MGK to get to the arena, and they have been fighting in that parking lot ever since.
King: And with all those cars, tools, stacked barrels, and all the other tools of mischief strategically placed around that horrible pit of deathI really cant see things going very well for either of them.
Last Man Standing Match
JFK vs. MGK
MGK walks up to his brother but JFK quickly drives an elbow into his stomach. And then follows up with a discus lariat taking MGK straight down to the concrete. JFK finds a baseball bat near by and picks it up. He inspects it and then gives it a few practice swings. Then he starts sizing up MGK. MGK begins to get up but takes a good swing from the baseball bat to the ribs!
Cole: OUCH! Bat right to the ribs!
King: JFK wants to end his brother tonight. He wont be pulling any punches.
JFK smiles as he watches his little brother writhe in pain. He tosses the bat to the side and picks him up. And drops him back down to the concrete with his patented Double Arm DDT! MGK goes lifeless as a ref finally appears on the scene. JFK leans on a car nearby as he watches the ref begin the count.

Cole: What!? This is how its going to end? After a year of build up?
4.
5..
6.....
King: Well they have been fighting for awhile. That shot to the ribs must have been the end of MGKs rope.
7...........
8....................
9............................
But then something amazing happens. Gingerly, but still pretty quickly, MGK gets up! JFK is shocked and the crowd in attendance are on there feet. MGK glares at his brother, still holding his ribs as JFK looks around for some kind of plan. He spots the baseball bat he used earlier and scrambles for it but MGK presses it down with his foot. He shakes his head and kicks it to the side.
Cole: Look at that! MGK is back on his feet. And he is motioning for them to finally finish it! No weapons. Just man to man! Brother to brother.
King: This is going to get ugly.
JFK gets to his feet and raises his fists up as does MGK. They circle around as JFK hits a couple quick jabs and a haymaker as MGK stumbles back again. JFK walks in more to finish him off but MGK fires back with a few shots of his own. Then he kicks JFK in the head with a his super kick finisher! JFK goes down hard as the ref starts his count.

Cole: Man, that super kick can come from anywhere!
King: JFK didnt see it coming thats for sure.
JFK gets back to his feet. And the brothers go back to fist fighting. MGK starts getting the best of him until JFK kicks his bro in the nads. JFK then shoves his brother into a barrel. This barrel happens to be one of a bunch of barrels all stacked up against a wall. And the whole thing shakes on the impact.
Cole: I dont like the look of this King!
King: Me either! And I usually like this sort of thing!
JFK looks up and sees whats going on. He gets a sick grin on his face and he starts shaking the barrel. MGK stops him before they do any damage and he pushes JFK into another barrel as the whole structure shakes more violently. JFK gets up and dodges another super kick and MGK nails another barrel. But this time it all falls down on top of the brothers.
Cole: OH MY GOD! Both Karns have disappeared underneath those barrels.
King: I cant see them but the ref is counting.

Cole: This cant end in a draw can it?
King: I dont think so but wait a second.look at this!
Through the wreckage we see a hand reach out.
9.....................................
And somehow.JFK manages to pull himself out of the pile and he falls on top of a barrel.
10!!!!!!!!
WINNER: JFK!!!!!!!!!
*The lights in the arena go down to black. Suddenly two giant pyros shoot off from either side of the stage as the crowd is slammed into the chorus of Electric Light Orchestras variation on In the Hall of the Mountain King. The Xtreme-Tron looks as if a hole is being burned through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird, suddenly, the entire area of the bird lights up with flames, a phoenix. The letters XHF fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on with shots of Mongo's career within the phoenix. The song continues as a black bird image emblazoned with XHF is projected onto the ring mat. The letters H and F are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross forming an X. As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks under the large X above him. He then makes his way down to the ring amidst a cheering crowd.*
Cole: And here comes XHF's illustrious owner out, hoping to once and for all punch his ticket to the Night of Champions main event and quite possibly recapture the XHF Title once again in due time.
King: Indeed Cole, though on the other hand none of the above may be Mongo's destiny if THIS next monster by the name of Mr. X has anything to say about it...
*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 parole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge.
Two red pyros go off on stage forming an X. "Opium of the People" by Slipknot hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed in an X formation in front of his face. Pain Jane walks out behind him wearing a hooded cloak. He has a chain wrapped around his left arm. He slowly spreads his arms apart as Jane moves under them and runs one of her hands down his chest. Once Mr. X's arms are fully stretched, Jane removes the hood from her head and has an evil grin upon her face as she looks out into the crowd. Mr. X has a look of determination on his face. They then walk down to the ring, never changing there attitudes. Mr. X stops at the base of the ring as Jane climbs onto the apron and feels the top rope. She then looks back at Mr. X with a sadistic smile and then flips backward while holding the top rope to land on her feet in the ring. Mr. X then climbs into the ring by grabbing the top rope and pulling himself onto the apron and then stepping over the top rope. He unravels the chain from around his arm and starts to laugh. He hands the chain to Jane and she holds onto it as she leaves the ring and gets into his corner. Mr. X tightens his gloves as he awaits the match to start.*
"Big List" Tournament Finals Singles Match
Mongo the Destroyer vs. Mr. X
Mr.X and Mongo stand across from each other in the ring. The bell then rings to start off this long awaited showdown! And the match is on! Mongo slowly walks around the ring with a very cocky smile on his face at the moment. X walks around like nothing is bothering him at all one bit on the other hand. Mongo walks over slowly to X. Thereafter he pust his hand up offering the test of strength to Mr.X . X looks around at the crowd, and they all cheer wanting him to accept Mongo's gesture at this point. Out of nowhere X then suddenly slaps Mongo right across the face instead. Mongo falls briefly to the ground, and hed soon get to his hands, and knees. Mr.X then walks over, and delivers a stiff kick right to the stomach of Mongo who is now rolling on the ground holding his gut a bit.
Cole: Mr.X doesnt seem to want to mess around at all tonight my friend.
King: No doubt, especially with the stakes being quite so high in terms of Night of Champions itself.
Mr.X grabs at Mongo's head, and goes to pull him up. When he pulls him up, Mongo starts throwing punches right into the gut of Mr.X then. Mongo soon bounces off the ropes, and when he runs back toward him X ducks as Mongo runs straight into empty air as it were. Mongo turns around, and X goes for a clothesline, but Mongo somehow manages to duck this attempt. Mongo then slowly stalks the recovering X from behind before this time delivering a swift dropkick to the face of Mr.X once he's back up and turned around! X falls holding onto his face in pain as Mongo gets up quickly. He runs to the turnbuckle, and he yells Its Over. He then jumps off giving a big splash toward his adversary. Mr.X quickly puts his knees up however, and they drive hard into the chest of Mongo. Mongo rolls around in pain all over the mat. X then sits straight up. He gets up, and he picks up Mongo by the head. Mr.X then delivers one hell of a forceful chop to the chest of Mongo.
Cole: Mongo is taking a vicious chop right there.
King: Thats what I call busting someone's chops Cole.
Cole: ....You have to be kidding me man.
King: What?
Mr.X then delivers more, and more assorted chops till Mongo is backed all the way into the corner. Mr.X goes to the opposite corner of the ring. He runs and lifts the leg for the big boot. Mongo hurries to move though, and smartly ducks as Mr.Xs leg goes over the top rope. As his leg is over the rope Mongo gets behind him, and after placing him over his shoulders sends X spiraling down into a vicious spinebuster! Mr.X holds his back right away in obvious agony, and rolls to the outside of the ring temporarily. Mongo sits back up, and shakes his head in disgust over X escaping the ring altogether just now. He then gets out to the outside of the ring himself, and picks up Mr.X. He hurries, and tosses him back into the ring. Mongo rolls in right behind him, and gets on top of Mr.X for a pin attempt:
One!....
Two!....
Thre...KICKOUT!
Mongo sits up, and starts yelling at the ref regarding the speed of his previous count. He gets into the ref'ss face yelling that he counted the pin far too slow. When he argues he doesnt pay quite enough attention to Mr.X himself . X then sits up nearby, and after he gets up he turns around Mongo and grabs him by the neck. After he does, he picks him up and gives him a one hand chokeslam to the mat!
Cole: If Mongo paid more attention to his opponent instead of the ref count that wouldnt have neccessarily happened.
King: But Mongo was right though Cole! That ref counted way too slow for cryin' out loud. I mean I could make a ham sandwich with how slow he counted!
Mongo lies there motionless back inside the squared circle. Mr.X just puts his foot on his chest, and yells for the ref to make the pin count:
One!...
Two!...
Thr...
KICKOUT BY MONGO!
Mr.X picks up Mongo then. Mongo gradually battles back throwing more, and more punches at Mr.X however. He bounces off the ropes, and delivers a clothesline, but X only stutters back a slight bit unfortunately. Mongo bounces off the ropes again, and gives yet another clothesline but this too only makes X do a few stutter steps in response. Mongo then does the same thing a third consecutive time, with the same results yet again. But this time Mr.X laughs a little in the process. Mongo yells one more time, and Mr.X nods. Mongo bounces off the ropes then but Mr.X goes after him with a clothesline. Mongo ducks, bounces off the opposite side of the ropes, and gives Mr.X a big dropkick on the bounceback! Mr.X lies there holding his face. Mongo quickly makes his way back to his feet, and apparently gets really big push of adrenaline within himself just then. He hides behind Mr.X waiting for him to get up so he can give Mr.X the Xtreme Edge it would appear. He waits, and Mr.X gets up. He turns around, and Mongo goes for the Xtreme Edge. But Mr.X pushes him away at the last possible second. Mongo gets pushed into the ropes, and he bounces off. When he bounces off he goes towards Mr.X, and Mr.X grabs him when Mongo runs at him, and throws him straight into a small package DDT, aka the DDX before Mongo can recover whatsoever!!! Mr.X makes the cover with both legs tightly hooked moments later:
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings.
"Big List" Tourney Winner via Pinfall and Advancing to NoC Main Event Slot #1: MR. X!
Cole: And in what's sure to go down as another all-time classic encounter between these two Mr. X has survived, and more importantly he's advanced to Night of Champions to take on the winner of tonight's Rumble a little later on!
King: That he has Cole, although make NO mistake that Mongo won't be the least bit pleased whatsoever over this turn of events and he'll most certainly play a pivotal role one way or another in the Rumble match itself before this evening's over with...
The background noise slowly gives way to a to a cocky alternative guitar riff as Tick, Tick, Boom by The Hives begin to play over the P.A speakers. The lights in the arena fade to a complete darkness and soon a huge lightning bolt style pyro hits the entrance ramp with authority as the song breaks into its main riff and the lights in the arena blink between blue, white, and silver. And as soon as the smoke clears we finally see the man behind the show. Steve Awesome, dressed in a pair of black tights with a blue cross down the right leg and a red heart on the left with the anarchy A symbol in the middle of it and a wicked S that wraps around that. A blue sleeveless trench vest with the same heart symbol on his tights on the back of it and a pair of aviator sunglasses accompanies him to the ring. He stands on the ramp with his arms outstretched in a crucifix pose as a wind effect blows his black hair back.

Steve grabs the middle rope and pulls himself up onto the apron, turning around and flashing that cocky smirk at all the fans in attendence, as they boo him with all the strength they can muster, but he just brushes it off. Not caring about them in the slightest. He steps into the ring and walks over to the middle and he kneels down on one knee.
You know Ive done it before
And I can do it some more
Ive got my eye on the score
Im gonna cut through the floor
Its too late
Its too soon
Or is it
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Boom!!
He raises his arms up and flexes as silver pyro rain from the ceiling and after a few moments he picks up his title and stands up, heading over to the turnbuckle to explain one more time how much better he is then the people in the crowd, or any wrestlers who entered before him and are now standing on the outside of the ring.
The house lights in the arena go low, a red hue of lights stay on and over the P.A. system we hear Tylers voice.
"First you have to give up, first you have to know... not fear... know... that someday you are going to die."
The stage starts to fill with smoke as Stone Sour's "Made of Scars" comes blasting over the P.A. system.
This one came from looking
This one opened twice
These two seem as smooth as silk, flush against my eyes
This one needed stitches and
This one came from rings
This one isn't even there, but I feel it more because you don't care
We see a figure in the smoke his head tilted back looking up to the heavens his arms held out wide in the crucifix pose.
Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, Cause I am Made Of Scars
Yes I am made of scars
At that point pyro go shooting off from the stage upwards towards over the ring, Price emerges from the smoke his head covered with a black do rag around his forehead covering his eyebrows, and one covering his face and bridge of his nose, only his eyes showing, a black baggy t-shirt on it with his choice of band for the week, black baggy leather type shorts one side has the Punisher Skull with the Brazilian flag layered over it. The other leg has the word Messiah written around the bottom leg. He has black knee pads and black wrestling boot's and baseball batter gloves. He wears the XHF United States Championship proudly around his waist. He makes his way down the ramp.
This one had it coming
This one found a vein
This one was an accident, but never gave me pain
This one was my fathers and
This one you can't see
This one had me scared to death,
But I guess I should be glad I'm not dead!!
He slaps the hands of a few fan's as he makes his way down the ramp, he takes the stairs one at a time then climbs to the outside turnbuckle, he stands on the second rope and once again throws his arms out to the side doing the crucifix pose again throwing his head back daring someone to knock him down.
Yeah, Cut right into me
Yeah, I am made of scars
Yes, I am made of scars
God, Don't you believe it
He hops over the turnbuckle in the same motion ripping the do rag off from around his face. He makes his way across the ring and goes to the other turn buckle he stands on the 2nd rope once more this time inside the ring leaning towards the fans he slaps his chest over his heart with his fist and the other hand rips the US Title off from around his waist and he holds it up high for all to see he then points out to the crowd and then to the title, yelling "For the people by the people". He hops down and twists in mid air and hands the title over to the ref as he stretches his arms on the ropes awaiting for the match to start.
XHF United States Championship Street Fight
Steve Awesome vs. Price
Price and Awesome wait no time to get the match started as the two meet up in the center of the ring to trade blows. The brawler Price gets the upper hand, as he sends fists into Steve Awesome, sending him into the corner. Price sends a swift kick to the ribs, before grabbing Awesomes wrist. Price whips Awesome into the corner on the other side and goes to follow up with a clothesline, but Awesome ducks out of the way, waiting behind Price. Price turns around and ducks a spin kick attempt from Awesome, and grabs him in position for a back body drop. Price lifts Awesome up, but Awesome flips back onto his feet and then shoves Price forward. Price takes a few steps forward but turns around into a kick in the stomach by Awesome. Awesome attempts to lift Price onto his shoulders, possibly for the SteveKO, but Price slides off and sends a hard elbow into the face of Awesome, sending The Awesome One back a few steps. When he recovers he goes lunging for Price, but Price lifts a knee up, driving it into Awesomes stomach. Awesome falls to one knee, and Price runs to the ropes. Awesome slowly but surely gets to his feet, only to be slammed onto his mat because of a bulldog from Price! Steve Awesome rolls out of the ring, as Price is in the ring taunting to the crowd. Steve Awesome is on the outside taking his time trying to recover from the blows, but Price is having none of it as he slides out of the ring and goes after Awesome! Awesome doesnt avoid Price, and the two engage in another fist fight! As it seems like Price yet again is taking advantage, Steve Awesome dropkicks Price in the knee, sending the United States Champion down. Price holds his knee in pain, and Awesome takes advantage by stomping on Price and then grabbing his leg. Awesome drags Price near the ring steps, and sends a hard kick into Prices chest. He then grabs Prices leg with the knee he just kicked, and places it on top of the steps. Before he does anything though he chokes Price with his boot, before climbing up the apron. With Prices leg laying on the top ring step Awesome runs and leaps off the apron, driving an elbow into the knee!
Cole: Damn that looked painful!
King: Ouch!
Price shouts in pain, as Awesome stares at the crowd with a grin on his face. He kicks Price again in the chest, and then lifts him up to his feet. Awesome lifts Price up and then drops him chest first onto the railing outside of the ring, and forearms him in the back, making him stay where he is. Price regains his breath, but its kicked right out of him as Steve Awesome delivers another running dropkick into the knee of Price, this time squashing it against the railing! Price is obviously in pain, and it doesnt seem to bother Steve Awesome as he continues to drive boots into the bad knee. Awesome struts around the fallen Price, but bends over to lift him up off his feet. He grabs Price looking for a overhead belly to belly suplex. Price though shows some life as he is able to hold himself down. Awesome is able to lift him up, but with Price holding his own weight down, is only able to pick him up and place him over the railing, and into the crowd. Price punches Awesome, making him release the hold. Awesome goes for a punch of his own, but Price blocks it and retaliates with a quick left of his own. This sends Awesome stumbling back, as Price is beginning to gain momentum. Awesome slips down to one knee, the blow from Price proving harder than thought, which allows Price to walk over to a fan and take a sip of a fans drink. The fan and Price socialize a little, and an irate Awesome runs toward Price, only for Price to spit the drink into the face of Awesome! Awesome is blinded for a moment, as Price tosses the cup into the head of Awesome, and then follows over the railing. Price is noticeably limping, but hes able to grab Awesome and drive him head first into the padding with a DDT!
Cole: Price is a master of DDTs.
King: That was vicious.
Price limps over and grabs the cup he threw at Awesome and tosses it back to the fan, and then walks over to the ring steps. He pushes them off, and then drags it against the railing. He then limps over to Steve Awesome and grabs him, sending punches as he sits Awesome on top of the steps. Price then begins to send boxer like lefts into the face of Awesome, before taking a few steps back, and with the good leg, driving a yakuza kick into his face! Awesome just faints to his side, as Price is seen once again taunting to the crowd. Price grabs Awesome and just rolls him into the ring and quickly makes the cover. Steve Awesome kicks out before the count of three, almost upsetting Price. Price gets up to his feet and stomps hard onto Awesome, before walking over to the corner. He goes onto the apron, as Steve Awesome is climbing up to his feet, and when Awesome is all the way up to his feet, Price is on top of the turnbuckle. Awesome turns around and sees Price diving off attempting a clothesline, but Awesome moves out of the way, sending Price hard into the mat. Price obviously hit his knee hard against the mat, as hes seen screaming in pain, as hes climbing up to his feet. Awesome takes advantage of the weakened Price, as he grabs him and tosses him hard into the mat with a t-bone suplex. Awesome crawls over and hooks the leg of Price, 1-2-Price gets a shoulder up. Awesome gets to his knees and delivers fists into the face of Price, before lifting him up to his feet and setting him up for a suplex. Awesome lifts Price up, but instead of slamming him down against the mat, he sets him up onto the top rope. Awesome begins to climb up the turnbuckle, and when hes on the top, he looks around the arena. He does a little taunt, which allows Price to send some punches to his stomach. Awesome is resilient though, as he sends very hard forearms into the back of Price. Price settles down, and Awesome grabs the pants of Price. He lifts Price up and it looks like Awesome is going for a superplex, but instead he pushes Price forward, driving him face first into the padding below!
King: These men are killing each other.
Cole: They have such hatred for one another.
Price hit the padding very hard, and his knee is in even more pain than before. Awesome is still on the top rope though, and hes standing on top of it, as if hes on the top of the world. With a grin on his face he points to Price, and then dives off, and delivers a massive elbow into the chest of Price! The arena echoes with cheers, as Awesome lays on top of Price, taking toll from the move himself. Steve Awesome though is able to climb up to his feet, and he grabs Price, and drives his head into the announce table. Price just lays on top of the table, and Steve Awesome grabs Price, just to throw him back down onto the padding. Awesome takes off the top of the announce table, and grabs one of their monitors and holds it up in the air. He waits for Price to get on his feet, as Price is still pushing himself up. He grabs onto the ring to pull himself up and turns to Awesome, who comes running at him with a monitor in his hand. Price moves out of the way, and then sends elbows into the face of Awesome, making him drop the monitor. Price grabs Awesome and continues to send him back first into the side of the ring before hitting a hard clothesline, sending Awesome down. Price grabs onto the monitor that Steve Awesome had held in his hand, and holds it up in the air to show the fans. Price takes a few steps back and sets it up, and throws the monitor into the body of Awesome! Awesome stumbles back holding his stomach in pain and falls to his knees. Price gets up and grabs Awesome by the hair and throws him on top of the announcers table.
King: Hey! Get off of here!
Cole: Don't worry, we have a spare.
Price grabs Awesome and sets up for another DDT, but Awesome hits him with a few gut shots. Awesome gets his head free and starts hitting Price with a few good punches. Price blocks one and then hits a few shots on Awesome. Awesome blocks one and knees Price in the gut. He then tries to hip toss Price through the Spanish announce table, but Price grabs Steve's head in mid air and turns the move into a 3/4th turn cutter on Awesome and both men go crashing through the table! They lay in the carnage for a couple of seconds. Price starts to stir a little. He rolls over and pushes on Awesome to get him onto his back. He slowly does it and then puts an arm over Awesome. One, two, th-kickout! The fans are on their feet in shock. Price slowly gets up and pulls Awesome up as well. He sets up for the Price Crash, but Awesome pushes Price off of him and toward the guard rail. Price turns around and Awesome hits the Jaw Breaker! The impact sends Price backward over the rail and into the crowd! Awesome collapses on the floor from exhaustion.
Cole: These men are giving it there all here!
King: This is just unbelievable!
Awesome crawls toward the ring and pulls himself up using the apron for help. He staggers toward the rail and climbs up on it, stalking Price. Price staggers to his feet and Awesome jumps off the rail and hits him with a dropkick! Price rolls back on the cement floor and Awesome takes a few seconds on the floor to catch his breath again. Awesome gets up and grabs Price. He pulls Price up and drags him through the crowd to the wall. He slams Price's head into said wall. Price staggers back holding his head. He goes around a table covered in electrical equipment and staggers over to the steps and Awesome follows and hits Price in the back with some forearms. Price goes up the steps and Awesome follows. They're up in the next section and Awesome is hitting Price with more punches. Price hits Steve with a few back, but Awesome stops the momentum by kicking Price in his bad leg. Awesome hits Price a few more times and Price is knocked to the front row of the section. Awesome then hits a hard elbow to the face of Price and then Awesome tries to shove Price over the wall, but Price blocks the throw and elbows Awesome in the face.

Cole: That was an insane match!

*The lights die down slowly, over the PA system the sound of hissing and rattling echoes throughout the arena. A chorus of drum beats and guitar strings thump out of the arena speakers, as Hoobastanks Out of Control drives into full motion.
Pyros stream from the top of the arena and hit the stage causing a blinding light to cover the entrance way, before slowly dying down as a figure now stands at the entrance way, lightly jumping on the spot warming up before walking into the blinding mist of light. The light dies off completely as Snake lifts his head up from the lowered position it is in. the X*Crown Title wrapped around his waist. Snake slowly walks down to the ring area as he taunts the crowd pointing to his belt. He stops at the bottom of the rampway and looks around the arena before approaching the ring and climbing in through the middle rope and moves to the middle of the ring where he stands and unclips the X*Crown belt and lifts it in his hand as he stretches out his arms awaiting the applause he deserves, before moving to the corner of the ring and stretches awaiting the start of the match.*
Cole: Well Snake definitely looks ready for tonight. Although he definitely has a tough time ahead of him with the returning Chris Kanyon.
King: Well obviously, if theres anybody that can beat Kanyon its my man Snake. He is the best we have!
*A deep digital voice says "M-V-P" over the speakers. Then, "Who betta than Kanyon!?" blasts over the PA system. Kanyon comes out arms stretched, XHF title around his waist, walking down the ramp. Obsidian, La Parka, and GQ Money then come out behind him. Kanyon points to himself while shouting to crowd how good he is. Kanyon then climbs up the steps and into the ring, Obsidian, La Parka, and Money following. Obsidian grabs a microphone and hands it to Kanyon as La Parka dances around the ring, and GQ shows off his wardrobe. Kanyon shines the title and then says, "Who betta than Kanyon!?" To which half the crowd responds, "Everybody!" And the other half responds "Nobody!" Kanyon then responds, "Nobody!" He then walks to the corner and Obsidian, La Parka, and Money exit the ring to wait for the match to start.*
Cole: And here we have Chris Kanyon. Our loving commissioner. There I said it. I better get a raise for that.
King: You knowI still dont understand what Kanyon is trying to prove here? I mean he got a broken neck. Why risk further injury against Snake?

In love Id burn it all down
To the ground (Youre nothing to me)
To the ground (Youre fucking killing me)"

Fom endin' up with all the chips so he can't,

You fucked up with me now live with the truth,
Find a reason to lie (Try)..."
