The Xtreme Hardcore Federation Presents:
XHF Night of Champions VII
March 30th, 2008
The XHF Arena
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Stadium Capacity: 100,000
*A mysterious scene opens up in a
dark black room, with what appears to be a TV in it as well. Footsteps
are heard, as the owner and boss of the XHF, Mongo The Destroyer walks
in. He picks up a remote control and turns the TV on. There we see the
first moments of the very first Night of Champions:*
*He
holds it in both hands and looks at it. He now must get back down to
the floor to win the match. He shakes himself out of the daze and looks
down to see Millennium ascending the ladder to the tier he is on.
Millennium reaches as Rage struggles to climb down. Theres no time as
Millennium pushes the ladder over with the last of his strength. He
drops down as Rage and the ladder begin to fall. Rage is thrown from
the ladder and drops nearly 40 feet and crashes through the Spanish
announce table. The title falls within 5 feet of an unmoving, bloodied
Rage. He must grab it to secure the win. Millennium knows this and
drops down two tier two as quickly as he can. He walks to the edge to
see Rage stirring. Millennium decides to save his title and he soars
off in elbow drop form. He flies through the air and within 6 feet of
Rage, Rage moves. Millennium crashes onto the wood from the announce
table and the concrete floor. Rage reaches an arm over and grabs the
Ultimate Title. He holds it up in the air triumphantly, still lying down. The bell
rings and Rage is the new Ultimate Champion!*
Winner of the Triple Tier Greenhouse and New Ultimate Champion with 2 out of 3 Falls: RAGE!
*Mongo flips the channel to something else*
*Scorpion
finally lets go of Reeshi, and Reeshi rolls out of the ring holding his
knee. The ring announcer gives the XHF Title to the referee, as the new
Champion sits there on his knees, crying in happiness. The referee
hands him the championship and Scorpion buries his face in the
championship, with blood and tears dripping down on it. The crowd is on
their feet chanting "Scorpion!" as he looks up to the people. "My Hero"
by The Foo Fighters is blaring over the PA system, as the second ever
Grandslam Champion climbs up to his feet and holds the championship in
on hand. Scorpion walks to all the corners of the ring and hold both
arms in the air, holding the XHF World Heavyweight Championship up in
pride. Reeshi is getting help to the back, as Night Of Champions II
comes to a end with Scorpion strapping the XHF World Heavyweight
Championship around his waist, while holding his arms in the air.*
*Mongo flips the station*
The
sight of Destruction's body flying and the impact of both men hitting
the canvas raises the volume in the Tokyo Dome significantly, and
Reeshi makes the cover. One. Two. It won't end like this! Applause
comes pouring from the crowd for Destruction's kick out. Both men lay
and the referee starts his count but it doesn't get far before they
stand. They exchange weak chops without the power behind them needed to
make them effective. Reeshi goes for another Oreeshinator but elbows
get Destruction out. Destruction goes for a Countdown to Armageddon but
elbows get Reeshi out. Destruction grabs a side headlock and Reeshi
shoves him to the ropes. Reeshi jumps with a flying clothesline as
Destruction ducks. Destruction approaches Reeshi from behind and hits a
knee to the back. Reeshi bends over in pain. Destruction bounces off
the ropes and hits a flying knee to the back, knocking Reeshi to his
knees. Destruction hooks up Reeshi and hits the blue thunder bomb! He
lets go of Reeshi, not being able to make the cover. Instead he puts
his efforts into getting to his feet and stalking Reeshi. When Reeshi
is up he grabs him from behind and hits another blue thunder bomb. With
a burst of energy Destruction shoves Reeshi aside, picks him up again
and hits a third blue thunder bomb, holding the legs as hard as he can
for one, two, three!
Winner and the NEW XHF Champion: Destruction!
*Mongo once again flips through the TV*
Venom
falls off of Gravedigger, as the fans are on their feet from this
match. Hardcore Harry is on one knee looking into the ring, until he
places his head onto the mat. He shakes it, as he slowly gets off the
ring and begins going up the ramp. The referee is handed the XHF World
Heavyweight Championship from the timekeeper, as Venom is slowly
pushing himself up. Gravedigger is still motionless inside the ring, as
Venom is all the way up. The referee goes to hand Venom the
championship belt, but Venom snatches it away from him. Venom looks
around the arena, and then falls to one knee. Venom holds his arms up
in the air, as the lights reflect off the championship gold. Venom
holds his ribs with his free arm, as he holds the XHF World Heavyweight
championship in the air. Venom pushes himself all the way up, and
places the belt on his shoulder. Venom pats his XHF World Heavyweight
Champion, as Night Of Champions IV fades with the image of a champion.
*Getting irritated, Mongo can't find what he wants...he flips again*
Charlie
and Venom stay down, the only life that either man is showing is
Charlie kicking his feet to try to keep him going. The move took all
the energy out of Charlie and Venom, who just lie their motionless. The
fans begin applauding the two men, which must be the only thing
motivating these two guys, as they both roll to their stomachs. Charlie
and Venoms heads are next to one another, as they both begin pushing
each other up to their feet. The former partners and bitter rivals
begin shaking with anger, not keeping their eyes off of one another.
The two bloody men with their blood stained hands get up to their feet,
and both men begin sending fists to one another, each shot as
devastating as the previous. After a while both men stumble to their
knees, but are able to stay on their feet and Charlie clotheslines
Venom down. Charlie falls next to Venom, who begins coughing up his own
blood. Charlie Velez pushes himself up to his feet, and bends over to
pick Venom up. As he is doing this though Venom takes advantage, as he
delivers a low blow that sends Charlie reeling in pain. Venom climbs up
to his feet and places Charlie Velez between his legs, and spreads his
arms out taunting for the Casualty To Society. Venom goes to life
Charlie up, but Charlie is able to hold his weight down, staying on his
knees. Charlie gets his head out from between Venoms legs, and punches
Venom straight in the groin. Venom bends over in pain as Charlie climbs
up to his feet and grabs Venom by the head and tights, and tosses him
off the top of the miniature Hell in a Cell, sending him crashing into
the top of the Greenhouse! The impact causes Venom to bounce up and
roll off the edge of the Greenhouse, where he lands through the
announce table!
*Mongo now starts
rampantly flipping through stations, every station a moment from Night
of Champions including Spike Kane, Charlie Velez, Rat Bastard, Venom, MGK, Reckless Jack and
then....BOOM! The TV shatters and explodes into a million pieces. Mongo
just stands there with the remote. He turns around so that he is facing
the camera and says:*
"Can you handle this much action?"
*Mongo drops the remote and leaves as the scene finally fades.*
*Another voice comes on in as special effects happen*
"NOW, the Xtreme Hardcore Federation proudly presents as it's grand finale...NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS SEVEN!"
*The
scene shifts to the XHF Arena where "Through the Fire and the Flames" is being
played live on a side stage by Dragonforce themselves as tons and tons of pyros go off all around the arena and around
the ring, and the crowd itself is downright deafening at the same time. Finally the pyros end and the place is
still roaring as our usual team of announcers, Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler, cut in from ringside.*
Cole: WELCOME TO THE XHF ARENA HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA AS WE
PRESENT TO YOU THE FANS, THE GRANDEST STAGE OF ALL FOR QUITE POSSIBLY
THE FINAL TIME EVER...NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS!
King: Absolutely right Cole. This may very well be the greatest PPV of
them all.
All of the major XHF titles are on the line as usual including the
X*Crown and World Heavyweight Titles in "7 Deadly Sins" and "Flawless"
matchups respectively.
Cole: Speaking of which though...it's time for the opening match this evening. Let's send it down to the ring.
*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.....
"You
can just feel the details. The bits and pieces you never bothered to
put into words. And you can feel these extreme moments...even if you
don't want to. You put these together, and you get the feel of a
person. Enough to know how much you miss them...and how much you hate
the person who took them away."
And
with that, the opening guitar riff of "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch
Engage comes blaring over the system. People now know who's coming out
to the ring as they start to cheer loudly, and out of the red strobe
lights walks Kevin Hardaway, getting a huge pop as he walks around the
entrance ramp, just walking to the ring smiling. He keeps walking to
the ring as his music plays, stopping at the apron, as when he's near
the ring as he runs in with full speed and slides into the ring.
Kevin gets in the ring and immediately goes on the top
turnbuckle raising his arms up in the air, in the \m/ symbol while his
arms are in the "X" fashion, signifing his "straight edge" prowlness as
the music fades, Hardaway standing in the ring, waiting...hoping.*
*A timer appears on the X-Treme Tron. Counting down from five.
5.4..3.2.1.
0!!!!!!!
A
booming pyro rocks the foundation as the thundering guitar of "Five
Minutes Alone" by Pantera hits the P.A system. And now standing at the
top of the ramp, a monster of a man. Six foot seven, somewhere around
three hundred pounds of thick mass and one sickening smile.
I see you had your mind all made up you group of
Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
What deceiving? Now I'm unwhole.
Zero
Tolerance comes stomping down to the ring, dressed in a black singlet
with the Zero Tolerance symbol on the chest. He also has a black towel
covering his face.
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Zero reaches up and pulls himself onto the apron and steps up over them.
Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us
Zero walks to the middle of the ring and throws his arms up as pyro shoot from each turnbuckle!
5 minutes alone!!!!
And with that Zero turns to look at his opponent for tonight!*
Singles Match
Kevin Hardaway vs. Zero Tolerance
The bell rings and right away Zero Tolerance charges full speed ahead and hits a dropkick on Kevin Hardaway. Kevin rolls backward and gets up holding his chest. Zero then charges in and hits a few forearms. Zero knocks Kevin into the ropes and then whips him across the ring. Zero gets to the middle when Hardaway is on the way back and hits a back body drop. Zero makes a quick cover for a quick one count. Zero looks extremely fired up at this point. He pulls Kevin up off the mat and hits a snap suplex. Zero floats over and starts wailing away with mounted punches to Kevin's head. Finally though Kevin pushes Zero off of him. Kevin gets up to his feet and Zero charges. Kevin goes for a clothesline in turn, but Zero ducks and hits a neckbreaker. Zero then covers again. 1, 2, kickout!
King: Wow, that Zero Tolerance sure is out to prove something tonight, huh?
Cole: No doubt about it, he much like everyone else on XHF's roster wants to end their career tonight with a WIN on the biggest stage of all and not by any means a loss!
Zero pulls Kevin up off the mat. He sets up for the Face Mangler, but Kevin lifts up just in time and throws Zero off of him! Zero lands on his knees and Kevin quickly charges and hits a shining wizard! Zero goes down and rolls out of the ring as Hardaway sits on the mat to catch his breath. Kevin stands and backs away from the ropes. Zero stands up and Kevin hits him with a baseball slide! Zero stumbles back into the guard rail. Kevin stands up (still in the ring) and grabs the top rope. He pulls back and jumps straight out with a plancha onto Zero Tolerance! Both men are down for a bit in sheer exhaustion. By the count of 6, Kevin is back up and pulls Zero up. He throws him into the ring. Kevin then gets up on the apron. He then delivers a slingshot leg drop onto the neck of Zero. He stays sitting for a pin. 1, 2, kickout. Kevin pulls Zero up off the mat and throws him to the ropes. Zero comes back and Kevin goes for a roundhouse kick, but Zero ducks. Zero turns around and Kevin hits a back kick to the gut. Kevin then turns around and grabs Zero. He hits a double arm DDT.
King: Kevin really made a comeback.
Cole: He did indeed, looks like both men want this victory quite a bit, even if it is the curtain jerker match of sorts after all.
King: Yep regardless of when it takes place this is NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS for cryin' out loud, it's time to put up or shut up once and for all quite frankly!
Kevin pulls Zero toward a corner. He then goes into said corner and jumps up. He comes off with a split legged moonsault, but Zero gets his knees up however! Kevin rolls around holding his gut in visible agony. He stands up somewhat dazed and Zero grabs him from behind and hits a german suplex out of nowhere! Now Kevin gets up holding the back of his neck. Zero grabs him from the front and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex to follow up fittingly on the previous one! Zero then runs up a turnbuckle and taunts to the crowd. He then jumps off with a frog splash, perhaps to beat Kevin with one of his own moves, but it doesn't work out so well because Kevin rolls out of the way! Zero bounces off the mat with a devestating thud as a result. Kevin gets up and quickly hits a quick elbow drop to the back of Zero's head. Kevin then gets up and uses the ropes to hold him up. Zero slowly gets to his feet. As he stands, Kevin charges and jumps up to hit a hurricanrana! He holds the legs for a pin! 1, 2, Zero reverses into a sunset flip! 1, 2, Kevin hits Zero in the head with his feet and then rolls back and grabs Zero's legs then flips over for another pin. 1, 2, Zero bridges up and turns around into a backslide. 1, 2, kickout! Both men get to their feet and charge each other with a double clothesline at once! Both men are down and the fans, all 100,000 strong inside the XHF Arena are standing and cheering now!
Cole: What dizzying back and forth action there!
King: That was extremely crazy, downright absurd even.
Cole: For a big man Zero is most certainly holding his own and even showing off a little Junior-Heavyweight style maneuvering off and on, very impressive indeed.
Both men are slow to their feet as the ref does his ten count. Both men are up by 8 and they meet in the center of the ring. Kevin puts all his power behind a punch. It knocks Zero back a step, and then he attacks with a vicious punch back to Kevin. He staggers back, then comes back and hits a hard punch again. Zero staggers back a bit more and then comes back and hits Kevin with momentum on his side now as well and he knocks Kevin back into the ropes. Kevin springs out and hits a flying forearm! Kevin pulls Zero up off the mat and into a corner. He sits him up on the top rope and climbs up. Kevin pulls Zero up and hooks him for a superplex, but Zero hits him in the stomach with a punch to prevent it. He then shoves Kevin off the top rope altogether. Kevin hits the mat. As Zero stands up on the top turnbuckle, Kevin is starting to get up. Zero awaits and when Kevin is vertical, Zero comes off with a big crossbody! He hits it! But Kevin rolls through somehow! He hooks Zero's leg. 1, 2, Thre-NO, Kickout!
King: That was a close one!
Cole: That reversal always amazes me.
Kevin and Zero both stand up. Kevin hits Zero with a few forearms. He then lifts him onto his shoulders in a torture rack position. Kevin spins Zero around for the Asylum Bomb, but Zero reverses it into a hurricanrana! Zero rolls back over Kevin and stands up at his feet. He grabs Kevin's legs and starts to set him up for a sharpshooter. Kevin is fighting it with all the will and might he has left in him by now. Zero bends down for more leverage, but Kevin grabs him and gets a variation of a small package. 1, 2, Kickout. They both stand up and Zero turns around into a scoop from Kevin. Kevin then plants him with a Michinoku driver! Kevin then stands up and points to a nearby turnbuckle. He then goes to that corner and jumps up. The fans are on their feet. Kevin jumps off with a Five Star Frog Splash, aka the "Hope Is...", BUT like he did earlier, Zero once again moves! Kevin gets up holding his stomach in utter disbelief and before he can react whatsoever Zero grabs him and quickly hits a MASSIVE powerbomb, one of his OWN finishers as it were in the form of a Zero Bomb! Zero turns him over for the cover moments later: 1......2........3!
Winner via Pinfall: Zero Tolerance!
*The ref raises Zero's hand in victory and he looks fatigued from the match, yet incredibly proud of himself for matching Kevin stride for stride throughout the whole contest and managing to come out on top at an event this pivotal. He gets up on the turnbuckle to acknowledge the many fans who cheer in approval as we cut to a short break before the next scheduled matchup this evening...*
*The crowd is deathly silent as the beginning guitar riffs of "I Walk
Alone" by Saliva hits. There are mixed reactions from the crowd, some
cheers, some boos.
"I Walk Alone!!"
As soon as the opening line is said, red, orange and yellow
multicolored pyros begin to shot from the front and sides of the stage,
firing straight up. Then,
the entire stage is engulfed in flames, shooting from every pour of the
stage.
"This television has a poison on its breath.
This counter culture of both wicked lies and death.
It makes my eyes bleed everytime I turn around.
How will they all feel when I
bring them to the ground?"
The fire splits in the middle as Mark Evil walks out onto the
stage, looking off into the crowd. He continues down onto the ramp as
the fire builds back up. As
he walks down the ramp, the fire behind him slowly dies down.
"And I'll say.
I walk for miles inside this pit of danger.
A place where no one follows me, I walk alone.
Huh!"
Mark Evil stops just before the ring and slowly walks over to the
stairs. He slowly walks up them and steps over the top rope to get into
the ring. He then
raises he arms, and as soon as they drop, the stage and ring posts
erupt in bright red pyros, shooting off in all directions. Mark then
stops and looks around
in the crowd with an evil smirk on his face. He then stands and waits
for the match to begin.*
"I'm sick of all these people talkin' out their heads.
I've never understood a damn thing that they said.
From words to actions never
knowing what they're about.
I guess I'll have to chew them up and spit them out."
Announcer: Now from Glendale, Arizona weighing in at 275 pounds. "The Evil One" Mark Evil!
Cole: This guy won't die.
King: That's because he is pure Evil.
*Suddenly an eerie breathing takes over the P.A system causing the
lights in the arena to go pitch black. The breathing gets more and more
intense slowly giving
way to the opening riffs of the The Duke Nukem Theme performed by
Megadeath.
"Let's Rock"
A big blast of pyro explodes from the stage as the song breaks into
its fast paced metal sound. This cues the young hardcore champion to
step from behind the
black curtain in a blast of energy. The crowd love Jayson but he still
only gets a mixed reaction as the evil John Michaels follows him down
to ringside.
Jayson moves from side to side on the stage dressed in a pair of red
wrestling shorts and his XHF Hardcore championship strapped around his
waist. John meets
Jayson in the middle of the entrance stage and looks a little bit
embarrassed of Jaysons actions.
The guitars rock on as Jayson runs down the ramp and dives into the
ring through the bottom and second rope and landing in a forward
summersault and on his
feet. Then in one last burst of energy he leans over the ropes raising
his hardcore title high in the air as John looks on at the hardcore
title in awe.*
King: Our Hardcore Champion!
Cole: The crowd loves this kid and his zany antics.
XHF Hardcore Championship Match
Mark Evil vs. Jayson Matthews (c)
Jayson hands the Hardcore Title off to the ref as he then lifts it high
into the air, showing this is for the championship. He lowers the belt
and passes it
off to the ring announcer as the bell has been rung. Jayson is clearly
the smaller of the two in this match as Mark Evil, well, looks evil.
Jayson rushes
towards Evil and pounds away on his chest, trying to phase the big man
but it isn't working well as Evil takes his hand and places it on the
head of Jayson
before throwing him down to the mat. Jayson rolls back up to his feet
and grabs the top rope. He springboards, jumping backwards, trying for
a crossbody but
he just bounces off Mark Evil. Evil smirks as Jayson quickly exits the
ring as John Michaels gives him a few words of encouragment. Mark Evil
goes over the
top rope, leaving the ring himself.
Cole: Jayson's head on attack isn't going to work, he needs to think of a plan.
King: I think that's what John Michaels is for.
Mark Evil goes to the time keepers table and grabs a steel chair
and slams it shut. Mark walks towards Jayson who flips the ring apron
up and looks underneath
the ring for something to help him out. Jayson pulls out a trash can
lid as he sees Mark Evil nearing him. Jayson gets back into the ring
and invites Mark
Evil back in. Evil does but as he gets up, Jayson hits him in the back
with the trash can lid. Then he hits him a second time as the lid is
pretty well
dented by this point. Mark is still getting back up to his feet as
Jayson grabs the chair away from Mark. Jayson lifts the chair up high
and them slams it in
the back of Evil. Evil goes down to his stomach as Jayson drops the
chair. He runs towards the ropes and jumps off the middle, hitting a
quebrada on the back
of Mark Evil.
King: Impressive move by the young Jayson Matthews.
Cole: No doubt. But I hardly think this is near enough to put Mark Evil away.
Jayson flips him over for a cover but Evil sticks his hand up and
gets Jayson in the goozle. Mark sits up with his hand around the throat
of Jayson. Jayson
is begging for him to let go as Mark gets up to his feet. Instead of
lifting him for a chokeslam, Mark throws him into a corner. The impact
makes Jayson
slump down but the ropes are holding him up. Mark grabs the chair he
orginally brought into the ring for his own use and hits Jayson in the
head. Jayson
fully slumps down now as Mark sets the chair over the face of Jayson
Matthews. Mark runs, bounces off the ropes and hits a chair assisted
facewash! The crowd
lets out that "OHHH" sound as Mark has that sadistic smile on his face.
Cole: Wow, that was sick.
King: First time I've seen something like that.
Mark pulls Jayson out of the corner as we see he's been busted
open. Blood is pouring down the face of Jayson Matthews as Mark Evil
covers him.
One!
Two!!
Jayson is able to get his left shoulder off the mat. Mark picks up
Jayson and throws him out of the ring. Jayson lands on the floor as his
face has become a
crimson mask. Mark goes out himself now as he lifts up Matthews once
again. This time, Evil throws Matthews into the ring barrier like a
heat seeking missle. Jayson falls on his head as Mark looks underneath
the ring. He pulls out a bag and empties the contents onto the ringside
mat. It's thumb tacks not that
it really surprises anyone.
King: This could end up badly.
Cole: Those thousand upon thousands of thumb tacks.
Mark does a cut throat motion now as he goes back to Jayson
Matthews. The blood loss is getting huge now as there is a puddle of
blood where Jayson was laying
at. Mark lifts Jayson and gets him in the tombstone position, which
would mean the Hell Spike is coming. Mark takes him over to the thumb
tacks as the crowd
gets on their feet. However, Mark takes too long as Jayson has enough
wits left about him to swing his legs around and headscissor Mark Evil
onto the thumb
tacks. Jayson Matthews, in one swift motion, jumps onto the ring apron
and then jumps back off with a double foot stomp and forces the tacks
further into
Evil's body. The crowd begins to cheer as Jayson is staggering around.
Cole: Ouch. That's gonna hurt tomorrow.
King: No kidding.
Jayson looks underneath the ring and pulls out ladder that was used
earlier tonight. Jayson sets it up on the outside of the ring and
starts to climb. While
this is going on, Mark Evil has pulled out of a table while the tacks
are sticking out of his back. He sets it up next to the ladder as he
sees Jayson towards
the top. Mark starts to climb himself as Jayson starts to pound on him.
Mark tries to throw a right hand on Jayson but he's able to block it.
Using
what's left of his strength, Jayson pulls Mark Evil over the top of the
ladder and butterflies his arm. Jayson then jumps up, flips over Mark
and hits his
That's Gotta Hurt through the table! The crowd is going insane as
Jayson slowly covers.
One!
Two!!
THREE!!!
Winner via Pinfall and STILL XHF Hardcore Champion: Jayson Matthews!
*The bell rings as the crowd is in shock but yet still cheering loudly despite this fast-paced match.*
*The slow beginning of "The Energy" by Audiovent hits the PA system, and
as the sound gets stronger, a pyro goes off before the vocals kick in.
The
Chris and Chris Connection walk out from the back curtain, looking
around at the booing crowd. Adams flexes as Williams goes down to the
middle of the ramp,
spinning around to show off the back of his shiny jacket as both men
get into the ring as Williams takes off his jacket, resting it in the
turnbuckle.*
*"Cold" by Static-X is heard, and The Dark Parade with the Dark
Mistress walk out. The Scarecrow is wearing a leather jacket and
sunglasses, as The
Pumpkin is wearing Big Round Sunglasses. They then slide into the ring
and jumps on the second rope. The Dark Mistress gets in the ring, as
The Scarecrow
stares at the crowd, and The Pumpkin rolls his shoulders and does a
Christian type taunt. The Scarecrow then jumps off and gives his jacket
to the Mistress,
and then puts his sunglasses on her head. The Pumpkin then jumps off
and gives the Mistress his sunglasses.*
Tag Team Match
The Dark Parade vs. The Chris & Chris Connection
The Pumpkin walks to his corner and so does Chris Adams, letting The
Scarecrow and Chris Williams start off the match as the bell rings in the background. Scarecrow kicks him
in the stomach, and
then grabs him by the arm and whips him into the ropes. The Scarecrow
goes for a clothesline, but Williams ducks and then dropkicks The
Scarecrow out of the
ring. The Scarecrow slowly pushes himself up using the apron, as
Williams runs to him and baseball slides him. The Scarecrow hits
against the railing, and
Williams then climbs up to the top rope. He taunts a little bit to the
crowd and then flies off the top rope going for a cross body, but The
Scarecrow moves
out of the way causing Williams to crash into the railing!
Cole: Ouch, you know Williams' head has to be throbbing right about now after a crash landing quite like that one.
King: Yeah I think it's safe to say that one's gonna leave a mark...
The Scarecrow then begins to send boots into the lower back of
Williams, and then picks him up by the hair and then throws him into
the steel ring post!
Williams lies against the padding, and The Scarecrow taunts to the
crowd. He picks up Williams and rolls him threw the bottom rope and
then follows and makes
the cover. Chris Adams breaks up the pin at two, and The Scarecrow then
climbs up to his feet and sends his boot into Williams chest. The
Scarecrow tags in his
brother The Pumpkin, who cockily walks into the ring. The Scarecrow
holds Chris Williams up in a full nelson, letting his brother kick him
in the gut twice.
The Scarecrow then goes to his corner after Chris Williams falls to his
knees, holding his stomach. The Pumpkin now wraps his arm around the
neck of Chris
Williams, applying a dragon sleeper The Pumpkin screams at the referee
to ask Williams if he quits, but Williams nods his head, not losing the
match for him
and his partner. As Williams slowly begins to pass The Pumpkin drives
his knee into the back of Williams, applying more pressure than before.
Chris Adams gets
off of his corner fed up of what is happening, and then runs in and
clotheslines The Pumpkin from behind, causing him to release the hold!
The Scarecrow gets
into the ring trying to help his partner, but Chris Adams just
backdrops him. The Scarecrow rolls holding his back as Chris Adams
motions for The Scarecrow to
come to him. The Scarecrow finally turns around to Chris Adams, but The
Pumpkin forearms Chris Adams from behind and then locks on reverse
front facelock and
drives him against the mat with a diving reverse DDT! The Dark Parade
then begin to beat up Chris Adams, as Chris Williams slowly climbs up
to the top rope.
The two Dark Parade members finally see Williams, but they are too late
as he both knocks them down with a double crossbody!
Cole: Holy crap these two Dark Parade members are insane!
King:...And you're, just now figuring this out Cole?
Chris Williams now begins to pound on The Pumpkin, and lifts him up
to his feet. Chris Williams then drives The Pumpkins head against the
second turnbuckle,
and then repeats the process! After about the ninth time Williams holds
his arm up in the air, and The Scarecrow climbs up to his feet. The
Scarecrow runs to
Williams, but Williams catches The Scarecrow and throws him against his
brother, causing The Pumpkin to smash his face against the turnbuckle
once again! The
Scarecrow falls to his back, and then The Pumpkin falls back, landing
on the groin area of his brother! The Scarecrow screams in pain, as
Williams laughs and
then picks him up and throws him out of the ring. The Pumpkin is then
lifted to his feet and then Williams snapmares him, and then dropkicks
him in the upper
neck area. Williams quickly covers The Pumpkin, but The Pumpkin kicks
out at two. Williams holds the hair of The Pumpkin, and then tags in
his partner Chris
Adams. Chris Williams goes to his corner, as his partner Chris Adams
continues the assault on The Pumpkin. Adams throws The Pumpkin to the
ropes, and then
lifts him up over his head. Chris Adams walks into the center of the
ring with The Pumpkin up in the air, and begins to do military presses!
Adams laughs and
then drops The Pumpkin onto his shoulder, and then drives him against
the mat with a running powerslam!
Cole: A resounding powerslam there by the big man Adams, and that could be all she wrote for the Dark Parade now!
King: Yeah things aren't looking up for Scarecrow and Pumpkin that's for damn sure...
Adams makes a cocky pin, and The Scarecrow breaks up the pin. The
Scarecrow doesnt go to his corner though, as he is interrupted by the
referee. The Scarecrow
and the referee argue, as Chris Adams lifts The Pumpkin up for a
powerbomb. Adams holds The Pumpkin in the air, as The Scarecrow pushes
the referee out of the
way and then runs to Adams and spears him! The Pumpkin falls on top of
Adams, and The Scarecrow rolls out of the ring and goes to his corner.
The Pumpkin tags
in The Scarecrow, and The Scarecrow climbs up to the top rope. Chris
Adams slowly climbs up to his feet, and The Scarecrow flies off the top
rope and knocks
Chris Adams down with a missile dropkick! The Scarecrow crawls over and
hooks the leg, but Chris Adams kicks out at two. The Scarecrow punches
Adams in the
face twice, and then lifts Chris Adams head up and locks on a sleeper
hold. The Scarecrow chokes the life out of Chris Adams, and the big man
begins to fade
away. The Scarecrow tells the referee to ask Chris Adams if he quits or
not. Adams refuses so The Scarecrow tightens the sleeper hold, so the
referee asks
Chris Adams again, but he does not respond. The referee lifts up Chris
Adams arm and it falls, and the referee counts one. The referee checks
for the second
time and it falls again, as the referee counts two. The referee now
lifts Adams arm up for the third and final time, but Adams grabs The
Scarecrow by his neck!
The Scarecrow is in shock as Chris Adams slowly climbs up to his feet.
The Scarecrow still has Adams in the sleeper, but all of a sudden Chris
Adams snapmares
him off! The Scarecrow rolls up and runs to Adams, who goes for a
clothesline. The Scarecrow ducks and Chris Adams runs against the
ropes, but gets knocked
down by a spinning wheel kick!
Cole: And Adams comes up empty altogether somehow!
King: Sure didn't see that coming but it could well be a turning point in this contest from the looks of things.
The Scarecrow makes the cover, but Chris Adams still kicks out! The
Scarecrow is confused about the decision, but still beats on Chris
Adams. The Scarecrow
lifts Chris Adams up and applies a reverse front facelock, and then
walks to the corner. He walks up to the second rope and taunts to the
crowd for a reverse
tornado DDT, and then jumps off. The Scarecrow swings around and lands
on his feet, but Chris Adams doesnt fall. Adams drives his elbows into
the ribs of The
Scarecrow and then gets him on his shoulders, and spins him around and
connects with the Adam Explosion! The Scarecrow rolls around holding
his ribs, as Adams
slowly gets on his knees and begins to crawl. Chris Adams finally gets
a foot away as The Pumpkin gets off his corner. The Pumpkin runs to
Adams, but Adams
finally gets on his feet and knocks The Pumpkin down with a powerful
clothesline and finally tags in Chris Williams! Williams gets into the
ring and then
Hurricanranas The Pumpkin who was climbing up to his feet, and then
dropkicked The Scarecrow in the head. The Pumpkin tries to get to his
feet but Chris
Williams continues the assault on The Pumpkin. The Pumpkin pushes Chris
Williams, and Williams rolls against the mat. The Pumpkin gets up and
goes to run to
Williams, but Chris Adams suddenly gets into the way and running
chokeslams The Pumpkin!
Cole: Uh oh looks like Adams is having NONE of this sneaky pinfall business as it concerns the Dark Parade.
King: Yeah that monster of a man definitely isn't here to play any childish games this evening, he's here to come out on top and be a winner in his last match whatever it takes.
The Pumpkin lies in the center of the ring, as Chris Adams drags
him exactly across from the turnbuckle. Chris Williams rolls to the
apron, and then climbs up
to the top rope. He stands up on the turnbuckle, and then holds his
hands up in the air and the flies onto The Pumpkin with a guillotine
leg drop! Chris Adams
tells Williams to go up to the top rope again, as he picks The Pumpkin
up in gorilla press slam position. Chris Williams slow climbs up to the
turnbuckle, but
as he is doing this The Scarecrow climbs up to his feet and runs behind
Chris Adams and clips his knee, causing The Pumpkin to land on Chris
Adams! The
Scarecrow runs to the ropes to knock Chris Williams on the top rope,
and then walks to him. The Scarecrow climbs up to the top rope, and The
Pumpkin follows
him and climbs up to the second rope. The Scarecrow grabs the legs of
Chris Williams and lifts him up in the air, and The Pumpkin grabs
Williams in a front
facelock and they both connect with a Corrupt Anguish off the top rope!
Chris Williams lies face first on the mat, unconscious as The Scarecrow
slowly crawls
to Williams and turns him over and makes the cover. 1-2-Chris Adams
breaks up the cover! The Pumpkin gets up to his feet and clotheslines
Chris Adams out of
the ring, and the two begin to trade blows. The Scarecrow pushes
himself up to his feet, and then lifts up The Energy Chris Williams.
The Scarecrow sets Chris
Williams up for The Implant DDT, but Chris Williams reverses it into a
northern lights suplex!
Cole: What an absurdly acrobatic reversal there by Williams!
King: Yep even more proof as to why in addition to his tag team prowess this man will inevitably go down as out of our greatest Junior-Heavyweights of all-time in XHF.
Chris Williams makes the cover, but The Scarecrow gets a shoulder
up! Chris Williams stands up and pulls The Scarecrows arm into the
middle of the ring.
Williams runs and jumps to the third turnbuckle and goes for The Drop
To Zero but The Scarecrow rolls out of the way, and Chris Williams
lands on his feet! The
Scarecrow gets up and ducks a Chris Williams clothesline, but the two
then knock each other down with a dropkick! The two lie down on the
mat, as The Pumpkin
throws Chris Adams into the crowd and turns his attention to the ring.
The Dark Mistress climbs up onto the apron and begins arguing with the
referee, as The
Pumpkin slides into the ring, and waits for Chris Williams to climb up
to his feet. When Williams gets up to his feet The Pumpkin comes from
behind and turns
him over going for The Smash, but Williams is able to turn his body
some more and have Pumpkin face him, and then sends him into the mat
with the Downliner!
The Pumpkin rolls out of the ring and Chris Williams climbs up to his
feet; only to walk into a spear by The Scarecrow! Mistress gets off the
apron and The
Scarecrow hooks the leg; 1-2-3!
Winners via Pinfall: The Dark Parade!
*Thereafter both members of the Dark Parade roll out of the ring, Scarecrow and
Dark Mistress holding up The Pumpkin. Chris Adams has just gotten into
the ring, as he
watches his opponents walk to the back, taunting. Adams lifts up his
partner, and the two celebrate head to the back with a nice applause from the audience.*
*The lights dim and the crowd goes silent as the sound of footsteps
begin to overtake the PA System and words begin rolling across the
Xtreme-Tron:
It only takes one
One man to change the course of History
Your Hero Has Arrived
The stage begins to smoke up and the spotlight shines on the
entrance way. The crowd begins to cheer softly as Trapt's "Stand Up"
begins to play
and Kris Quake comes running out onto the stage full of energy. He runs
from one side of the stage to the other playing to the crowd and
cuaseing there cheers
to grow louder and louder before finally stopping back at the top of
the ramp and he begins to walk down the ramp slowly slapping hands with
the fans.
You planted the seed
How my anger has grown
Got an feeling inside that I can't seem to control
You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me down
You've gone as far as I'll go
Now you're crossing the line and I am letting you know
Well here's your reaction.
Kris Quake reaches the ring and leaps up onto the ring apron and
looks around at the crowd that is now cheering loudly as he slowly
reaches down and pulls the
XHF Tag Team Championship from around his waist and raises it in the
air causeing the crowd to cheer even louder. He lets loose a small grin
before he leaps
over the top rope into the ring and spins around with his arms spread
out.
Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will put you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change
Kris Quake stands in the center of the ring looking out at the crowd and nodding he head as the music cuts off.*
Cole: Kris Quake getting to come out first.
King: Wow, you must be reaching, talking about order of entry.
*"All The Small Things" by Blink 182 plays as Minibadboy makes his
way down to the ring on his motorscooter and with his tradition half
gallon of milk in hand
and starts sucking it down like crazy at the top of the ramp as te
crowd goes nuts. Minibadboy whellies down the ramp on scooter and then
slides into the ring.
Calling for more half gallons of milk from he ringside announcer and
suck the down like crazy also,while the crowd goes nuts for one last
time.*
King: I wonder if anyone told him Blink 182 broke up.
Cole: That hardly matters, it's only his entrance music!
*Jet's "Rip it Up" starts pounding out of the PA system as Nelly
Angel comes bursting out of the back. He runs out onto the entranceway
as his
manager Joey Hawke slowly walks behind him. Nelly then runs down the
ramp and slides into the ring, ultra pumped for his match while Joey
Hawke slowly finds
his place at ringside.*
Cole: Don't count out Nelly. He's full of heart.
King: So was Rudy Rutiger and look at how much of a loser he was.
*"All about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy blasts over the P.A.
Obsidian walks out eating nachos. He's wearing an expensive looking
coat and snazzy
sunglasses. GQ comes out behind him, following and strutting. Obsidian
walks down to the ring, still eating the nachos and dropping cheese on
his jacket. He
climbs in the ring and gives a thumbs up to the crowd.*
King: And our beloved nacho eating champion.
Cole: Not too mention the Junior Heavyweight Champion!
Fatal Fourway Ladder Match for the XHF Junior-Heavyweight Championship
Kris Quake vs. Minibadboy vs. Obsidian (c) vs. Nelly Angel
The bell rings as all four competitors look above to see the Junior
Heavyweight Title before looking at one another. There are numerous
ladders surrounding
the ringside area. Kris Quake makes the very first move of this match
as he runs and hits a dropkick on an unsuspecting Nelly Angel. Nelly
falls into the
turnbuckle as Kris starts lighting him up with kicks to the chest. MBB
and Obsidian are already exchanging forearm strikes in the middle of
the ring until
Obsidian uses his power advantage to knock MBB down to the mat.
Obsidian then goes to the corner and helps Kris double team Nelly.
After every Kris kick,
Obsidian chops Nelly. However, it doesn't take too long until MBB is
back up and elbows Kris in the back. Kris stops kicking Nelly as
Obsidian looks
behind to see MBB hit Kris with another elbow, this time in the face.
Cole: Wow, Kris Quake letting his strikes speak.
King: If he keeps this up, he'll win.
However, Obsidian doesn't pay attention to Nelly though as Nelly
kicks Obsidian in the stomach before tossing him into the turnbuckles.
Nelly lights him
up with a few forearm strikes of his own before taking a few steps
back. Yelling out, he runs towards the corner but gets cut off with a
leg lariat from MBB. Nelly smacks the mat as MBB gets back up to his
feet, only to get a chop to the chest from Kris. MBB holds his chest as
Kris follows with another chop. MBB
gets into the ropes but that won't help him in this one as Kris starts
to rapidly chop his chest until MBB falls completely out of the ring
and onto the
floor. Kris doesn't follow but scans the ring, seeing Nelly who quickly
rolls out of the ring. Obsidian does the same as Kris stands alone in
the ring.
King: See, what did I tell you, no one wants to be in the ring with Quake.
Cole: I'm sure he'll get his.
Nelly, MBB and Obsidian all see each other on the outside and all
sprint towards a set up ladder on the floor. Once they reach it, they
being fighting amongst
themselves until Kris springboards and lands on all three of them with
a huge plancha! Kris rolls up to his feet as the crowd begins cheering.
Grabbing the
ladder, he folds it shut and lifts it, heading back towards the ring.
Setting the ladder on the ring apron, Kris turns around to see his
three opponents
getting back up to their feet. Hurrying up, he gets the ladder
completely into the ring and slides in after it. Kris gets back to his
feet and sets the
ladder up underneath the title belt. He starts to climb quickly but
Nelly has found himself on the ring apron and springboards into the
ring, dropkicking the
ladder, forcing it fall over as Kris lands throat first on the ropes.
Kris rolls out of the ring and onto the apron as Obsidian gets in
himself.
Cole: That's a trip to the hospitial.
King: Do we offer health insurance?
Nelly grabs the ladder and sets it back up. Obsidian sees Nelly
start to climb up the ladder so he pulls him off and shoves him away.
Obsidian then begins to
climb himself. Nelly rushes back over and yanks Obsidian off the ladder
and pushes him back. The two start to argue as MBB slides back into the
ring
unnoticed and starts to climb the ladder. Nelly sees it out of the
corner of his eye and points to it. Obsidian doesn't believe him as MBB
inches closer
towards the belt. Nelly keeps on pointing as Kris Quake has come back
into the ring and sees MBB nearing the belt. Kris climbs up the ladder
again and stops
MBB right as he has his hands on the title belt. Kris elbows MBB right
in the face as MBB is barely hanging on the ladder.
King: Uh oh, this could suck.
Cole: I agree.
MBB grabs back onto the ladder with both hands again until Kris
starts to pull him from the other side. Nelly is still trying to tell
Obsidian about whats
going on the ladder but Obsidian still doesn't believe him. Kris has
the arms of MBB butterflied as he takes him off the ladder with a
butterfly suplex! Both men crash on the mat as the crowd gets up to
their feet and cheer. Obsidian finally gives in to Nelly and turns
around, only to see no one on the ladder. Nelly slaps his forehead as
Obsidian says he tried to trick him. Nelly shakes his head no as
Obsidian slaps him in the face. Nelly holds his face as he
staggers back into the ropes. Obsidian then runs towards Nelly, only to
get thrown over the rope. Obsidian splats on the floor as Nelly heads
to the apron.
Jimmy Bower: DANGEROUS!!!!
Cole: Who are you?
King: And what are you doing here?
Once Obsidian is back up to his feet, Nelly grabs the top rope and
springboards off with The Interviewer's Invert to the floor! Once more,
the crowd
cheers as Obsidian holds his head while the back of Nelly's back is
bothering him. Back in the ring, MBB attempts the Badboy Slam but Quake
drops down. MBB turns around to get a kick to the face. As he staggers
around, Kris lifts him on his shoulders and goes for Quake Time. MBB
meets the knee of Kris Quake
as he flops on the mat. Quake looks up at the title and smiles, not
seeing anyone else around again. However, once he climbs the ladder,
Nelly has rolled
back into the ring and gets back up to his feet. Kris jumps off the
ladder, trying to attack Nelly but Nelly catches him in a reverse
atomic drop.
King: I feel like crying for Kris.
Cole: You would. Perv...
Obsidian has slowly gotten into the ring now himself as he uses the
ropes to pull himself up. The crowd starts to give a mixed reaction as
someone is running
out through the crowd. He hops the ringside barrier as we get a look at
the man. It's Johnny Styler! He slides into the ring and hits a
clothesline on
Nelly. From there, he superkicks Obsidian! The crowd boos for the
simple fact that Johnny has interfered in this match on his tag team
partner's behalf! The crowd starts to cheer through as La Parka comes
running down the ramp! La Parka slides into the ring and starts
fighting with Styler as the two take their
brawl to the outside of the ring. La Parka tries to whip Styler but
gets reversed and falls into the crowd.
Cole: WHOA! Who woulda thought Johnny Styler and La Parka would show up.
King: Not me.
As those two quickly disappear into the crowd, MiniBadBoy has
entered the ring again, with a ladder in tow. He sets it up next to the
one that's already
step up in the ring. He starts to climb the ladder he just set up. Once
he gets to the top, he sees all three other wrestlers in this match
still down on the
canvas. Looking at the title, he shakes his head and instead turns his
body around. MBB leaps off the ladder with the Leap of Faith but all
three move out of
the way! MBB connects with nothing as he holds onto his back, in some
extreme pain. He begins to roll out of the ring as the other three
start to get up. Quake, Nelly and Obsidian all rush towards the two
ladders set up.
King: Mini Bad Boy is out.
Cole: And the race is on.
Nelly and Kris climb the same ladder as Obsidian goes up the other
one. Once to the top, all three men start to fight one another. Each
punch gets them
weakened down. Kris is the first one to fall off the ladder as he lands
on his back. This leaves Obsidian and Nelly, up at the top fighting
each other,
knowing that either of them could win this match in a heart beat. Nelly
smashes Obsidian's head against the ladder. Once Obsidian's head bops
back
up, he spews out the CHEESE MIST! Cheese goes all over the face of
Nelly Angel as he lets go of the ladder. Obsidian licks his face clean
as he then reaches
up and rips off the Junior Heavyweight Title. The bell rings as
Obsidian climbs down the ladder with his title in hand.
Winner and STILL XHF Junior-Heavyweight Champion: Obsidian!
Cole: OBSIDIAN PULLED IT OFF!
King: Congrats go to him BIG time for surviving this rather strange ladder match.
*The drums hit, and "My Own Summer (Shove It)" by the Deftones hits the
PA system. The crowd stands on their feet, and the lights go off, as a
spotlight is on the entranceway. Destruction chants begin to break out,
as XHF Hall Of Famer Destruction walks out from the back, water bottle
in hand, with
his head down into the spotlight. Destruction pours the water on his
head, and then shoots his head up, as he begins walking down the ramp
screaming, trying to
pump up the crowd. Destruction pounds his chest, and as he reaches the
bottom of the ramp goes to one side of the railing, and climbs up it,
as he begins to
celebrate with the fans in the arena. Destruction drinks some of his
water and spits it out, as he throws his arms in the air. Destruction
gets down from the
railing, and then goes on the other side of the railing, and climbs up
it also. He celebrates with some more fans, and once again drinks some
of his water, and
spits it out into the crowd. Destruction gets down from the railing and
slides into the ring, where he throws his water bottle into the crowd,
and climbs up
the nearest turnbuckle. Destruction spits his water out into the air
and throws his arms up, letting the water soak his face. Destruction
lowers his head and
looks directly into the camera, and spits water into it. Destruction
gets down from the turnbuckle, and walks back and forth staring at the
entrance, awaiting
his opponent.*
*The lights go completely out, many of the fans have lighters, lazer
pens, etc and now have them on. Suddenly the screen turns on with a sea
of static. The
beginning of "Burn to Burn" by Static-X hits the speakers. The music
takes a pause as nothing but a deep, slow voice is heard reciting the
beginning of the song.
"Static in sound...
Uncurable
You plant the seed...
You feel the need"
A loud and booming scream is heard as pyro goes off at the top of
the ramp, the ball of fire followed by the billowing smoke, and through
it all, out walks
Reeshi. Reeshi is greeted with the cheers from the fans, he takes it
all in. Once down the ramp Reeshi reaches the ring and slides under the
bottom rope. He
walks to the far side and climbs the turnbuckle, raising both arms,
showboating to the fans. Reeshi steps down and stands in the middle of
the ring, looking
out at the estatic fans.*
Grudge Match
Destruction vs. Reeshi
The two legends spend their time circling around the center of the
ring, not taking an eye off of each other. The bell sounds, and neither
man hesitate, as
they get into the center of the ring and begin to trade blows. The
bigger Reeshi gets the early advantage, lifting up a knee and driving
it into
Destruction's stomach. Destruction doesn't fall to his knee though, and
instead sends a right hand into the stomach of Reeshi. Both men back
off of
each other, and then Reeshi attempts a clothesline, which Destruction
ducks. When Reeshi turns around Destruction begins to send right hands,
sending Reeshi to
the ropes. Destruction kicks Reeshi in the stomach and then grabs his
wrist, and then tosses his opponent to the ropes. Destruction bends
over going for a back
body drop, but Reeshi stops in his tracks, and sends a hard forearm to
Destruction's back, sending him down. Reeshi sets Destruction up
between his legs
and taunts for a standing Highway To Hell, but Destruction over powers
Reeshi by lifting him up over his head and slamming him down with a
back body drop.
Reeshi hit's the mat hard, but is able to get up to his feet before
Destruction can stomp on him. When he climbs up to his feet Destruction
runs and
attempts a clothesline, but before he can connect Reeshi lifts him up
and slams Destruction down with a spine buster! Reeshi makes the pin
attempt, but
Destruction kicks out before the count of three. Reeshi lifts up
Destruction's head and sends fists into it, and then brings him up.
Reeshi grabs his
opponent's arm, and then wrenches it, forcing Destruction to his knee.
Destruction is in pain, and Reeshi doesn't help matters by driving an
elbow into
the wrenched arm. Destruction doesn't fall down, instead he begins to
climb up to his feet holding his arm, giving Reeshi an opportunity to
clothesline
Destruction from behind, sending him into the ropes. Destruction
bounces against the ropes, is turned around by Reeshi, and then is
given hard punches in his
stomach for his efforts. Destruction falls to his knees, and begins to
try to get away from Reeshi, but Reeshi runs and gives a hard kick to
the head.
Destruction falls hard to the mat and Reeshi makes the cover, but
Destruction grabs the bottom rope before the referee can make a count.
Reeshi begins to choke
Destruction, which the referee breaks before the count of four. Reeshi
stands up to his feet and throws his arms in the air, being greeted
with massive boos.
Cole: Hmm seems like the crowd isn't responding too favorably thus far to Reeshi's signature arrogance and taunting off toward them.
King: What else is new?
As this is happening, Destruction is using the ropes to pull
himself up. Reeshi turns his attention to Destruction and begins to
walk over towards him, but
while on one knee Destruction begins sending hard chops to the chest of
Reeshi. Three chops later Destruction grabs Reeshi's head and pulls him
down,
driving his jaw into a jawbreaker. Reeshi stumbles backwards and then
forward going for a clothesline, but Destruction moves out of the way
and delivers a boot
to the knee, sending Reeshi down. Destruction runs to the ropes across
from Reeshi and delivers a forearm smash, sending Reeshi to the
outside. Destruction
looks around the arena, as Reeshi begins to climb to his feet on the
outside. Destruction runs towards the ropes and bounces off of it, and
then runs towards
Reeshi, and dives through the middle rope, landing on him!
Cole: Destruction throwing caution to the wind as he puts his body on the line for the mere chance at one last and parting Night of Champions victory!
King: Nothing but pure heart and boundless desire inside that man as always, what a legend indeed!
Destruction slowly climbs up to his feet and in a burst of energy
taunts to the crowd, the arena running rampant because of that move
that he pulled off.
Destruction grabs Reeshi, lifts him up and rolls him into the ring, and
then hooks the leg. The referee begins the count; 1-2-Reeshi kicks out!
Destruction
punches Reeshi in the face a couple of times, and then stands up and
drags him into the corner. Destruction chokes Reeshi with his boot and
then gets off, and
walks to the corner across. Destruction takes a deep breath and runs
full speed at Reeshi going for a running knee, but Reeshi rolls out of
the way causing
Destruction to crash into the corner! Destruction hit his knee hard, as
he begins limping to turn around. Reeshi quickly gets up to his feet
and hooks both of
Destruction's arms, and drives him into the mat with a Pain Killer!
Reeshi makes the cover, 1-2-Destruction kicks out! Reeshi shakes his
head in shame,
staring at the referee. He says something to him, as he grabs
Destruction by the hair and lifts him up. Reeshi grabs Destruction's
wrist and tosses him
sternum first into the turnbuckle, and when Destruction stumbles back
Reeshi lifts Destruction up and drops him into the center of the ring
with a sidewalk
slam. Reeshi gets up to his feet and runs over Destruction and off the
ropes, leaps up in the air, and delivers a brutal leg drop! Reeshi
again makes a pin
attempt; 1-2-Destruction gets a shoulder up. Reeshi lifts Destruction
up, and then applies a dragon sleeper. Reeshi has the move locked in
tight, as
Destruction has his arms wailing around trying to get out. He grabs
Reeshi's arms and tries to get them off of his neck, but Reeshi has the
move locked in
tight. The referee asks Destruction if he quits, but he waves a finger,
and he begins to push himself up. Reeshi, shocked by all of this,
begins to be lifted
up by Destruction, until both are on their feet. Destruction is able to
turn his body, facing Reeshi, but then pulls his head out from under,
gets behind
Reeshi, lifts him up, and drives him into the mat with a Blue Thunder
Driver! Destruction bridges the move, 1-2-Reeshi kicks out! Destruction
gets up to his
feet and looks around, and then taunts to the crowd, and begins to lift
up Reeshi. Destruction sets Reeshi in postion for a suplex and lifts
him up over his
head, and attempts the Countdown to Armageddon, but Reeshi slides
behind Destruction, turns him around, and lifts him up onto his
shoulders. Reeshi walks to
the center of the ring with Destruction on his shoulders, and lifts him
up and slams him into the mat with the Oreeshinator! Reeshi makes the
cover on
Destruction; 1-2-Destruction kicks out!
Cole: My goodness, how in the hell did he manage to kick out out of THAT one?!
King: Pure willpower and killer instinct Cole, that man just NEVER quits unless he's literally unconcious it seems.
Reeshi wastes no time to get up to his feet and grab Destruction,
as he places him between his legs. Reeshi looks around the arena, as he
positions him and
Destruction in the center of the ring. Reeshi shakes his head, and then
hooks one arm of Destruction. Reeshi begins laughing as he hooks
Destruction's
other arm, setting up for the Coral Reesh! Reeshi goes for the move,
but Destruction overpowers Reeshi by unhooking his arms, and bringing
Reeshi onto his back
by pulling his legs out from under him. Destruction holds Reeshi's legs
up, places his own leg in between Reeshi's, crosses them, and turns
around,
applying the Scorpion Death Lock! Reeshi screams in pain, knowing how
deadly this move truly is. Destruction pulls back, but Reeshi shakes
his head, trying to
have the pain push him. Reeshi begins to drag him and Destruction
closer to the ropes, and after a brief moment, he finally grabs the
bottom rope! Destruction
releases the hold and stumbles forward, and begins to stalk Reeshi.
Reeshi grabs the ropes and begins to pull himself up to his feet,
Destruction getting ready
to slam him down into the mat and end this match. Reeshi makes it all
the way up to his feet and turns around and Destruction goes for a kick
in the stomach,
but Reeshi grabs the foot! Destruction tries to get out of if, but
Reeshi shoves Destruction's foot down, lifts Destruction up, and slams
him down with
another Oreeshinator! Reeshi hooks the leg, 1-2-Destruction kicks out
once again! Reeshi doesn't waste time as he grabs Destruction and lifts
him up, but
Destruction shoves a huge elbow into the stomach of Reeshi, bending him
over. Destruction takes the chance; goes for and connects with the Eve
of Destruction!
Destruction makes the cover; 1-2-3!
Winner via Pinfall: Destruction!
Cole: And Des has pulled it off, an unforgettable win for the ages against quite possibly THE greatest World Title holder the XHF world will ever bear witness to!
*Destruction raises his arms in the air, as the referee goes over
and claims Destruction as the winner. Destruction climbs up to his feet
celebrating his
victory, as Reeshi begins sitting up. He's sitting all the way up,
watching Destruction celebrate. Destruction finally turns his attention
to Reeshi, and
lowers his head. Destruction walks over and helps Reeshi up to his
feet, and the two share a hug in the center of the ring. The crowd
cheers, as both Reeshi
and Destruction lift their arms up in the air, celebrating with the
fans. Destruction calls for the microphone, and one is handed to him.*
:destruction: Before this match I wrote some stuff down that I
thought I was going to say after the match…but as you can see, I've
clearly forgotten what it
was.
*Reeshi walks over and grabs the microphone.*
: It might have had something to do with the twelve pack you chugged beforehand.
*The crowd laughs, as Destruction shakes his head and takes back the microphone.*
:destruction: Reeshi and I came out here to have a "grudge" match.
Apparently, some storyline set up how much Reeshi was an asshole and
how much I
took offense, or something like that. I don't even know, and to be
quite honest, I don't think any of you guys care either. We came out here and
we had this
match though, because we all know what this show is. Yes, it is Night of
Champions, the night that everybody dreams of, but it's more than that.
This is the Final
Bow, the last hoorah, the last show…that the XHF will ever have. It's
sad, you know, Reeshi and I, we've been here since the beginning. We've
watched this place develop into the greatest wrestling establishment in
the history of man; we had everything. We had midgets, we had giants,
we had donkeys,
and we had robots. We had great matches, we've had bad ones. Drug
addicts, straight edge superstars. A crazy owner who's idea of fun was
to put all of
his top stars in one big match and try to kill them all, just so he can
entertain all of the fans. The Xtreme Hardcore Federation was made
seven years ago, and
those seven years were maybe the best of everybody's in the back's
life. We WERE wrestling, and even though this is the last show, and you
won't
see your loveable characters like Mongo the Destroyer, or Ken the Box,
or Reeshi, or Kanyon…the memory lives on. The memory will NEVER die,
and at the word
"wrestling" you'll think about the XHF. When the word "entertainment"
is said, the first thing you will think of is the XHF. Most
importantly though, when the phrase "Simply The Best" is spoken…you
will immediately think of the XHF. Thank you, and enjoy the show folks.
*Destruction drops the microphone and his music hits, and he and
Reeshi throw their arms in the air, and begin to start up some XHF
chants. Reeshi and
Destruction hug once again, and as they're walking up the ramp, they
hold each other's arms up in the air, heading to the back.*
If you're listening (woah-oh-ohhh)
Sing it back (woah-oh-ohhh)
*The sound of Jimmy Eat World's "Sweetness" plays around the XHF Arena,
and Rob Arnold runs out on stage. He turns, and Scorpion is close
behind
him. Rob runs to the corner of the stage and shouts to the crowd, who
shout back in cheers.
String from your tether unwinds
Up and outward to find.
Rob turns to Scorpion, who seems to stare around him, unsure of his
surroundings. Rob trots over to him and stares in his eyes, he places
his hands on his
shoulders and tells him to focus, before pointing to the ring and
saying something else. Scorpion smiles somewhat certainly and nods, and
they start to walk to
the ring.
I was spinning free (woah-oh-ohhh)
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Rob stands half way down the ramp and stops, with Scorpion behind
him, He pulls his coat back a little to show off the European Title,
before raising his arms
in the air, causing a white column of pyro up behind him. This causes
Scorpion to jump a little, before they move towards the ring.
Are you Listening? (woah-oh-ohhhh)
Sing it back! (woah-oh-ohhhh)
The climb into the ring, and Take off their coats, Rob removes his
title from his waist and moves to the nearest turnbuckle, raising it
high with one hand and
again shouting to the crowd. He drops down, and they head to their
corner, ready to begin.*
*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.*
Tag Team Match for the XHF European Championship
(Whichever team member scores first pinfall/submission becomes XHF's final European Title holder)
Joey Hawke & Congo the Destroyer vs. Scorpion & Rob Arnold (c)
Rob Arnold © and Scorpion vs. Congo the Destroyer and Joey Hawke
Both teams talk to each other in their respective corners, and the bell
sounds, as Congo and Rob Arnold start the match. Rob Arnold tells Congo
to face him
face to face, but Congo just sands in his corner, staring at the
smaller Rob Arnold. Arnold walks up to Congo and forearms him into the
chest, but Congo
doesn't budge, and Arnold sends another one, and still, Congo doesn't
budge. Rob Arnold goes for another forearm, but Congo catches his arm,
and just
shoves Rob Arnold down to the mat. Rob rolls to his feet and stands up,
looking at Congo who's laughing with his partner Joey Hawke. Congo
walks forward
and goes to grab Arnold, bur Arnold rolls under and runs to the ropes
behind Congo and forearms him in the back. Congo doesn't fall down
though, and
instead runs after Rob Arnold around the ring. The faster Arnold
bounces off the ropes and dropkicks Congo in the knee, sending him
down. Congo begins to climb
up to his feet, and while he's climbing up Arnold takes the opportunity
to send hard kicks into the body of Congo, but Congo gets up and shoves
Arnold back
finally climbing up to his feet. Rob Arnold continues running and
smashing into Congo with forearm shots. Rob Arnold runs into the ropes
and leaps up looking
to knock down Congo, but Congo catches him! Congo holds Rob Arnold up
and then tosses him up onto his shoulders, and attempts the Xtreme
Revolution! When Rob
Arnold is flipped forward though he lands on his feet and again
attempts to run towards the ropes, but Congo grabs him by the hair and
pulls him down, slamming
him into the mat! Congo makes the pin, but Arnold kicks out before the
count of three. Congo grabs Arnold and sends a huge chop into his
chest, causing Arnold
to stumble back. Arnold holds his chest but Congo spreads his arms and
hits another hard chest, this time sending Arnold down. Congo goes for
the pin attempt,
but Arnold kicks out before a count is made. Congo grabs Rob Arnold and
lifts him up, to see Joey Hawke jumping up and down in his corner.
Hawke holds his hand
out, demanding Congo to tag him in! Congo looks around, and then tags
in Joey Hawke!
Cole: Well this should be...interesting....
King: Don't underestimate Joey though Cole, he may be no spring chicken but any means but he's still a bad mofo when desparate times call for desparate measures!
Cole: "Desparate" being the key word however King...
Congo holds Rob Arnold in place as Hawke gets into the ring, and
Congo begins screaming at him "JUST LIKE WE PRACTICED!" Joey Hawke nods
his head as
he jumps up, and falls on his back attempting a dropkick!
Cole: Bahahaha, looks like Joey is experiencing some rather unfortunate back problems right about now...
King: And at the worst possible time too, Congo needs backup badly at this point!
Joey Hawke lays on his back trying to get up, as Congo sends a hard
punch into the head of Arnold, sending him down into the mat. Congo
grabs Joey Hawke, and
with one hand lifts him up and throws him down onto Rob Arnold! The
referee starts the count, 1-2-Arnold kicks out! Rob Arnold rolls to his
stomach and begins
crawling to his corner, as Joey Hawke stands up, not sure what to do.
He turns to Congo, and Congo just tells him to watch out, as Rob Arnold
has just tagged
in the XHF Legend Scorpion!
Cole: And business is REALLY about to pick up now that this man is in on the action at last!
Scorpion slowly climbs into the ring, and he stares at Joey Hawke.
Hawke seems to have grown a set, as he stands up straight and begins
stomping up to face
Scorpion in the face. Joey begins screaming at Scorpion, who just seems
to be staring straight at Congo. Scorpion shoves Joey Hawke out of the
way and walks
forward to Congo, which seems to have been a bad news, as Joey Hawke
leaps onto Scorpion's back! Hawke begins scratching Scorpion's face, as
Scorpion
tries to take him off his back. Scorpion finally grabs Hawke by the
neck, and flips him onto his back! Joey Hawke is in deep pain and
climbs up to his feet, to
be knocked down with a clothesline by Scorpion! Joey Hawke looks dead
on the mat and Scorpion makes the pin, 1-2-Congo breaks up the pin
attempt! He begins to
argue with the referee who orders him to get back to his corner as
Scorpion gets up, and watches the two argue. Scorpion sticks out his
tongue at Congo, but is
suddenly sent down to his knees with a low blow from Joey Hawke!
Cole: Hawke already resorting to low blows to account for his own lack of size in the ring it seems...
King: Bah lay off him Cole, through hook or crook sometimes you gotta do whatever it takes to come out on top!
Scorpion falls to his knees and Hawke runs over to his corner and
tags in Congo, who slowly walks in, stalking Scorpion. Scorpion slowly
climbs up to his feet,
only to be knocked back down with a big boot! Congo makes the pin
attempt, but Rob Arnold breaks it up before the count of three. Arnold
sends a hard first
into the head of Congo, causing Congo to grab Arnold and slam him into
the corner! Both he and Arnold continue to trade punches, as the
referee tries to break
them up. Scorpion is slowly climbing up to his feet as he turns his
attention to Joey Hawke. Scorpion is sitting down in the center of the
ring looking at
Hawke, who is reaching for something in his pocket. After a few
moments, Joey Hawke pulls out Scorpion's old time friend Wormie!
Scorpion is in total
disbelief as he stands up on his feet so happy to see his former
friend. Hawke drops Wormie to the floor, and as Scorpion goes to pick
up his friend, Joey
Hawke steps on him!
Cole: Oh c'mon now, that's just completely unneccessary and downright cruel by Joey!
King: And yet that's why Joey Hawke is the friggin' man at the same time, GO JOEY!
Joey Hawke just continues to stomp on the (now) dead Wormie,
leaving Scorpion shocked and heartbroken. Rob Arnold and Congo continue
to fight, as Rob Arnold
sends Congo into his corner, unintentionally tagging in Joey Hawke. Rob
Arnold runs towards Congo and leaps up, sending both men to the
outside! Joey Hawke
gets into the ring and begins screaming at Scorpion, who is standing in
the ring, staring down at his dead friend. Scorpion closes his eyes and
shakes his
head, before slowly lifting it up, and smiling at Joey Hawke. Scorpion
screams in Hawke's face "I'M BACK BABY, WOO!" and begins driving hard
fists into Hawke's face! Scorpion grabs Hawke and tosses him into the
ropes, and lifts Joey Hawke up and slams him down with the Xtreme
Neckbreaker! Congo
knocks Rob Arnold down in the outside and slides into the ring, ready
to attack Scorpion, but Scorpion ducks under a hard clothesline
attempt. When Congo turns
around Scorpion goes to lift him up for the Xtreme Neckbreaker, but the
surprisingly agile Congo gets behind Scorpion and grabs him by the
waist. Congo goes to
lift Scorpion up to his feet, but Scorpion powers himself down and
delivers hard elbows into Congo's head, forcing him to break the hold.
Scorpion turns
around and Congo goes for a quick super kick, but Scorpion catches the
foot, and trips Congo down to his back. Now that Congo is in position,
Scorpion crosses
the leg, and applies the Scorpion Lock! Congo taps out immediately,
even though he's no the legal man. Scorpion knows this and pulls back,
inflicting more
pain on the son of the owner. Joey Hawke gets up and rakes the eyes of
Scorpion, forcing him off, as Rob Arnold gets into the ring. Joey Hawke
turns around to
attack Rob Arnold, but Arnold leaps up and hit's the London
Underground! Hawke bounces to his feet, where Scorpion grabs him and
tosses him into the
corner. Scorpion runs towards him, and hit's the Scorpion Splash! Joey
Hawke stumbles forward, which allows Rob Arnold to hit the Lancaster
Bombo,
completing the tag team move the Scorpion Bomber! Joey Hawke hits the
mat face first, but bounces up to his feet, right into the Scorpion
Plex! Scorpion
bridges the move, 1-2-3!
Winner via Pinfall and the NEW/Final XHF European Champion: SCORPION!
Cole: And Scorpion has pulled off the previously unthinkable beforehand, he's become XHF's final European Champ and of equal importance the first individual to ever retire two separate belts in XHF as it were!
King: Yeah I'd forgotten about that North American Title win over Martyr a while back too but good point Cole.
*Afterward Scorpion climbs up to his feet, as his partner Rob Arnold slides to
the outside. Scorpion is throwing his fists in the air, as Congo pulls
Joey Hawke out of
the ring, and Arnold grabs the European Championship. Arnold slides
into the ring, and when Scorpion turns around, Arnold falls to his
knees. Arnold kisses the
championship belt, but then bows down, showing his respect to Scorpion.
The music stops, as Scorpion stands in the center of the ring and looks
around, slowly
realizing that everybody in the arena, including Congo the Destroyer,
is giving him a standing ovation. Scorpion is obviously getting choked
up, as
"SCORPION" chants begin in the crowd. Out from the back Reeshi, Mongo
the Destroyer, and Destruction all emerge from the back, applauding
their
friend. Scorpion finally picks up the title and help Rob Arnold to his
feet, who almost instantly gives Scorpion a hug. The two exchange words
while Congo gets
into the ring, and then both he and Scorpion share a hug. Mongo,
Reeshi, and Destruction get into the ring, watching Scorpion hold his
European Championship.
The Scorpion chants are still going on; they're so loud that even the
voice of the commentators can't be heard. Scorpion hugs all three men
who came to
the ring, and when he's done he looks back, to see Rob Arnold, Congo,
Mongo, Reeshi, and Destruction are still giving him a standing ovation.
Scorpion is
choked up, the paint running beginning to fade from the tears coming
down for his eyes. The true XHF Legend climbs up to the turnbuckle and
holds his arms in
the air, getting a even bigger reaction. Scorpion goes to each corner
and climbs up, celebrating with the crowd. The XHF Arena is shaking,
Scorpion Chants
rocking the foundation of the XHF. Slowly other wrestlers of the XHF
come out, showing their respects to the biggest superstar in XHF
history. Scorpion is too
emotional to climb up the final turnbuckle, but finally musters up
strength and climbs up, holding his championship in the air, screaming
out pure emotion,
leading to a even bigger cheer than before. As he's up there
Destruction and Reeshi grab him and set him on their shoulders, as the
other men in the ring
follow. Scorpion holds his belt in the air, crying his heart out.
Destruction starts up the Scorpion chants again, as they help Scorpion
out of the ring, and
on his way to the back, where Scorpion makes an effort to shake the
hand of every fan and wrestler that came out. Scorpion is out there for
a while, allowing
all the wrestlers to go to the back. Scorpion stands on the top of the
ramp, and looks around the arena. He holds his fist up, and sends a
kiss to the crowd,
before finally heading to the back.*
*As the fans wait in anticipation, "Eye of The Tiger"
now 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 Boyhood Dream" as he jogs on the spot, as "Eye
of The Tiger" enters the chorus.*
"It's the,
Eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge
Of our rivals"
*Doc
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 then calls for the microphone.*
Cole: What does Doc want?
King: I he probably has a few words to Mongo for making this unsanctioned.
:doc So I guess Mongo, our WONDERFUL leader...
*He rolls his eyes.*
:doc ...doesn’t want Rat and I in his ring at the same time this evening. Heck, I
don’t think he even wants us in his ring period! Rat Bastard may be a
worthless individual, but like me, he at least had some balls to say
what he wanted, and Mongo couldn’t deal with that just like he couldn’t
deal with the "Boyhood Dream." But tonight, we’re gonna show him that
we can put on the best match of the whole damn show! Mongo, we’re gonna
wrestle in your ring, we’re gonna wrestle in your building, and we’re
gonna wrestle in your goddamn state!
*The lights in the area go out and red glow comes from the ramp as
Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones begins to play through the
speakers. As the words come through, the light gets darker.
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
*Shadows mix in with the red glow now.*
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
*Rat Bastard steps through the curtain, a cocky smug look upon his face, with a tooth pick handing from his mouth.*
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
*Rat takes a deep breath in and runs his hands through his greasy black hair.*
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
*Rat begins his stalk to the ring, shooting dirty looks of disgust out at the fans.*
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
*Rat
climbs the stairs the ring, slowly climbing inside he begins to point
toward the mat, lipping to the fans that he owns this place.*
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
King: Oh my god, this is probably Rat’s last match!
Cole: In the XHF anyway...
"Unsanctioned" No Disqualification Match
"The Boyhood Dream" Doc vs. Rat Bastard
*Rat and Doc look at each other as Doc goes to say
something, before he does though, Rat yells, quite clearly "SHUT THE
FUCK UP AND WRESLTE!" Doc sneers and throw the microphone down. The two
circle around the ring and wait to tie up. They do, Rat, the stronger
of the two, whips Doc to the ropes, Doc bounces off and when he reaches
Rat he jumps up and hits a flying elbow to Rat, who stumbles back. Doc
then quickly moves behind the slightly stunned Rat and drops him with a
neckbreaker!*
Cole: And Doc is showing that even if unsanctioned they’re gonna wrestle.
King: Where’s the ref?
Cole: There isn’t one, it’s a No DQ unsanctioned match! Why would there be an XHF ref in a match that the XHF doesn’t sanction?
King: Well how’s it gonna end!?
Cole: Hmm....that’s a very good question.
*Doc takes this break to go up to the top rope and call out to the
crowd, who cheer him on. But Rat has hardly been damaged and nips up,
he then walks over to Doc, who’s not paying attention and yanks him
down off the turnbuckle. Doc lands on his feet, only to be knocked off
of them by a very forceful lariat. Rat smiles and runs a hand through
his hair. He then pulls Doc up, only to toss him to the outside. Rat
then follows.*
Cole: What’s going on here?
*Rat gets out of the ring, both men are in front of the entrance.
Doc gets up and the two start trading blows. After a particularly hard
punch from Doc, Rat falls over and rolls under the ring. Doc looks at
his hand, not thinking he had hit Rat quite that hard. He goes to look
for Rat. He bends over and lifts up the ring apron- STRAIGHT INTO A
FACE SHOT! Rat has pushed the top of a ladder into Doc’s face! Doc goes
backwards, falling onto his ass, taking concern to his face. Rat comes
out with a folded up steel chair. As Doc is getting up, Rat swings the
chair with full force at Doc’s face!*
Cole: No! He can’t!
King: Who’s gonna stop him!?
*But Doc rolls out of the way at the last minute, jumps up and
superkicks the chair! However, Rat moved just in time as well, and the
chair goes flying out of his hand. Rat looks at that, then the fully
charged Doc, who’s waving him on. Rat shakes his head, flips off Doc
and starts walking up the ramp.*
King: Rat doesn’t need to put up with this shit.
*As he walks up the ramp, Doc, to the cheers of the fans, runs at
him! But as Doc reaches Rat, Rat turns around and delivers a spine
buster onto the steel ramp! Rat looks down at Doc and says something as
he points to the Xtreme-Tron, then his head. He then starts laying
kicks into Doc and screaming about how smart he is. Rat then picks Doc
up by his hair and starts walking him up the ramp. But before Doc gets
a chance to really come to, Rat trips him, and pushes his head down
into the ramp again. Rat again pulls Doc up and continue pulling him up
the ramp. He leads him up to the entranceway, and hits a DDT on Doc,
again putting the "Boyhood Dream’s" head into the steel floor. He picks
up Doc again, and bashes his head into the entranceway a few times,
just to make sure his opponent can’t see, or think clearly.*
Cole: And Rat has taken a real advantage during this match.
*Rat then continues to walk Doc into the back as a camera follows.
Various XHF stars of the past and now watch as Rat leads Doc around the
back, they pass a popcorn vendor as they walk, and moments later, Doc
suddenly tosses something up into Rat’s face! Rat lets go and backs
off, holding his face as it’s turning red. Doc stands up and holds up a
salt shaker, then points to his head. Rat’s stumbling around as Doc
kicks him in his gut. Rat bends over and Doc pulls him into a
piledriver, this time sending Rat’s head into the cement.*
Cole: And Doc show’s he’s no slouch too!
*Doc happens to look over momentarily and sees Rage talking to
Torrie Wilson nearby. He’s explaining to her how he’s going to bring
the pain in the X*Crown match tonight using his tire iron, which he
happens to be brandishing at this time. Doc sees this, and finding it a
good time to stick it to rage and get a weapon, he rips the tire iron
out of the surprised Rage’s hand. Rage looks pissed off, but Torrie
holds him back. Doc then turns around and clocks a rising Rat with it!
Rat goes down immediately! Doc throws down the tire iron and starts
dragging Rat towards the doors to the XHF HQ.*
Cole: They’re heading into the office building!
King: That’s not a place to have a match!
*Doc throws open the doors and pulls Rat through. They enter into
the lobby, which is empty due to the show going on, but the lights are
on anyway. Doc walks Rat over to a nice table and starts beating his
head on it. After a few shots, Rat is able to elbow Doc in the balls!*
Cole and King: OOF!
*Doc stumbles back and Rat grabs the expensive vase on the table and
bashes it over Doc’s head! Doc falls over a near by couch as Rat
surveys the area. He sees the XHF Logo statue in the center of the
lobby and smiles. Rat picks up Doc and whips him into the statue. Doc
falls forward and Rat is on him. He picks up Doc as though he were
going for a powerslam, but just runs into the statue! The force of the
collision knocks it onto the floor where is breaks into many pieces!*
Cole: Oh god, the property damage is gonna be in the thousands....isn’t it?
King: At least.
*Rat just right out drops Doc, who crumples up on the floor. Rat
then smiles and picks up Doc by his hair and his rights, he then runs
Doc’s head through the help desk’s front! Doc isn’t moving as his head
is stuck inside the desk. Rat then leaves him then and walks over to
the elevators. He looks around and eventually finds the one he wants.
He presses the up button and waits for the elevator to come. He looks
at the clock on the wall. Taps his foot, waits, waits. Nothing is
happening. Nothing until.....COFFEE MUG TO THE HEAD! The mug shatters
at the door of the elevator opens and Rat stumbles in, Doc, who was
holding the mug follows into the elevator car. The doors shut and Doc
presses a button on it.*
Cole: Where are they going!?
*The camera switches to a security cam inside the car. As it moves
Doc bangs Rat’s head into the metal walls of the elevator car. He’s
cursing at Rat and whatnot. Then without warning, the doors open and
Doc looks to leave as Rat looks up from the floor. They both see Bongo
standing there with a milkshake.*
:bongo Is this a bad time?
:doc Yeah, sort of.
:bongo Oh, ok, I’ll catch the next car.
*The door then closes. Doc turns his attention back to Rat, but this
interlude has given Rat enough time to recover, he gives Doc an
eye-rake. As Doc holds his face, Rat gets up, then delivers a belly to
bell suplex inside the elevator car, which means that Doc gets launched
into the metal wall! As he crumples up onto the floor, the door opens
and Rat walks off nonchalantly and dusts himself off. He’s on the top
floor of the office building, in Mongo’s big glass hallway. He’s
standing amongst the pictures in the "Hall of Champions." Rat walks
over to the picture of himself and looks into it like he’s looking into
a mirror. He starts picking his teeth, presumably trying to get a piece
of food that’s in it in the picture out of his mouth now. Oddly, he
finds said piece of food. And then has a picture come crashing down on
his head! Rat looks around to see Doc being the culpret of the attack
by portrait. Rat is now wearing Mongo’s latest title reign around his
neck.*
King: Mongo is not going to be happy about this.
*Rat sneers and grabs Mongo’s second reign off of the glass wall and
smashes it over Doc’s head! They look at each other and smile. The
smiles quickly fade as they rip off the paintings and start hammering
on each other again. Doc lands a knee to the gut of Rat, Rat doubles
over and Doc hits a scoop slam. With Rat down, Doc walks over to Rat’s
portrait, compares the picture to the man, then takes it off of the
wall, breaks it over his knee, doubles it over, and starts hitting rat
with it! Rat seems to be trying to edge his way further down the
hallway away from Doc, but Doc is keeping up. Finally Rat is able to
get in just the right position to hit a drop toe hold, Doc falls over
and hits his head on Bonnie Jenkin’s desk! Rat gets up and takes
Mongo’s first reign’s picture off of the wall and waits for Doc to get
up. Slowly Doc gets up and is then nailed in the face with the
portrait! He stumbles back into the desk, holding himself up, the
picture is ruined and Rat throws it to the side, then picks up Doc hits
him with a Bastard Bomb through onto Bonnie Jenkin’s desk, totally
putting him through her computer!*
King: Cole, are you keeping track of the property damage here?
Cole: I don’t even wanna try. I wonder if Mongo is watching this.
King: If he is, he certainly can’t be happy.
*Rat picks Doc up and leads him over to the doors to Mongo’s big
glass office. He holds Doc still as he opens one of the doors into his
face! Rat then moves Doc into the office. He picks up Doc and gives him
a suplex THROUGH MONGO’S LEATHER COUCH! Doc’s out of it as Rat walks
over to Mongo’s desk and picks up Mongo’s computer monitor. He lifts it
high over his head to drop it onto Doc’s, but is met with a kick to the
midsection that pushes him back and causes him to drop the monitor,
which breaks. Rat stumbles back into Mongo’s bookshelf, knocking a ton
of books onto him. While he’s getting booked, Doc gets up and goes to
grab Mongo’s keyboard. He gets it and swings it straight into Rat’s
face. Rat wanders backwards into Mongo’s file cabinet and grabs onto
one of the drawers to hold himself up. His head isn’t all there though
as he falls forward, the drawer comes out, but is still enough to hold
Rat up.....until Doc pushes the whole file cabinet over onto Rat!*
Cole: They're completely trashing Mongo’s office!
King: Oh no!
*Rat falls under the weight of the cabinet as Doc grabs Mongo’s
phone and uses the cord to strangle Rat. After a bit of this he gets up
and looks over at Mongo’s desk. Doc smiles and nods to himself. He
pulls Rat out from under the cabinet and suplexes him onto Mongo’s
desk! But Doc seems disappointed; he wanted the desk to break. So, he
stands on Mongo’s desk chair and jumps off with a rather low elbow
drop! The weight of the two men is enough to destroy the expensive desk
which falls apart under them. Doc gets up and nods in satisfaction. He
then pulls Rat up and leads him out of Mongo’s office and back towards
the elevator. Before they get their though, Rat is able to trip Doc
like he had earlier on the entrance ramp and Doc goes face first into
the metal doors. Rat then presses the down button and the doors open.
He stumbles into the elevator and pulls in Doc as well. By now both men
have taken a ton of shots to the head and Rat is getting dizzy, he
presses a button in the elevator and it starts moving. Rat gets a head
rush and stumbles over onto Doc. The door opens moments later and both
men start to crawl out of the elevator.*
King: Where are they now?!
*As they crawl out, they start to slowly get up. And again, they
start trading blows. After getting fully to their feet, Rat bashes
Doc’s head into the wall, leaving an imprint! Doc then does the same to
Rat right next to it! The two trade head-shots all the way down the
hallway! They reach a door and Doc is able to push Rat’s head down
further into the door knob, the metal knob is enough to knock Rat batty
as he stumbles backwards and finds his ground by hitting a window
behind him. Doc sees Rat standing in front of the window and smiles to
himself. He then stamps his foot down a few times before hitting Rat
with the Genocide Kick! The force sends Rat Bastard through and out the
window!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!
*....luckily, right outside the window is the roof of the XHF Arena.
Rat doesn’t even fall a full story, but the force of the kick is enough
to knock him out. Doc follows him out and begins to lay fists into Rat.
The two are out on the roof, in the open air of the Minneapolis
skyline. The camera does not follow them out the window and instead
just looks out it. Doc sees the door to the stairs that lead back down
into the arena.*
King: They’re on the roof!
*Doc starts leading Rat over to the door, they get to it. Doc goes
to turn the knob, but there’s a hand already there! Doc looks down to
see it’s Rat’s, he then looks over to Rat’s face, which is near to the
ground as he’s barely able to hold himself up. Even so, Rat is smiling.
BAM! Rat opens the door into Doc’s face. Doc stumbles around as Rat
gets up, and pushes Doc into, and possibly down the stairwell!.*
Cole: Where’s the camera!? We need to see what’s going on!
King: Gosh darn it, where’s our cameraman! GO THROUGH THE WINDOW YOU WIMP!
*There’s a long pause*
Cole: Wait, what’s that!?
King: Is that them on the Night of Champion’s set?
*Everyone looks to the top of the set as the Xtreme-Tron shows a
zoomed in picture. It is Doc and Rat! The two are hardly able to stand,
yet are duking it out anyway! Rat pulls Doc in and hits a fall away
slam! With Doc down Rat turns to the camera and starts yelling.*
Rat: YOU WANT FUCKING VIOLENCE ON YOUR SHOW MONGO!? YOU WANT FUCKING
VIOLENCE! I’LL GIVE YOU YOUR FUCKING VIOLENCE! AND WITH YOUR OWN MOVE
TOO!
*Rat pulls Doc up, then picks him up for the Xtreme Edge! He walks
over to the edge of the set, looks down, shakes his head, AND JUMPS
OFF! In midair, Rat goes to flip Doc down, but they flip over together
and both come crashing down on the steel of the entrance! Doc landing
on Rat!*
Cole: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!
King: OH MY FUCKING GOD!
*Doc, without even thinking, rolls off of Rat, who’s coughing up
blood and having seizures. Paramedics rush to Rat’s age as Doc slowly
pulls himself up using the entranceway to keep his balance. He looks at
Rat, realizing that Rat is no longer able to compete he raises his arm
in victory!*
Apparent Overall Winner: Doc!
Cole: DOC IS ALIVE!
King: Technically Rat is too!
Cole: But for how long!?
*Doc then helplessly passes out next to Rat as more medics have to
attend to him as well and we cut out to a brief break before the next
scheduled match.*
1, 2, 3, 4!!!
*"Survival of the Sickest" by Saliva starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place.
"I'm a hand up mona lisa's dress
I'm a smile on every criminal you'll ever acquit,
I'm the things you've done you'd never admit
Cause one hand is on the bible and the other's in s***."
"But right now, your faceless in the crowd
I'm shouting out loud
The one you counted out of the game
Oh wow!
Take a good look at me now
Should have never had a doubt
Is that you I hear screamin' my name?"
Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage. He looks into the crowd,
holding his arm up with belt in hand. Maria Williams walks out from
behind Joe and looks
into the crowd too. Joe gives Maria a kiss on the cheek as they both
start to walk down the ramp.
"I'm a roller
I'm a rider
I'm number one mother****ing survivor"
"So move over
I'm a driver
And I'm high and i'm keep gettin higher"
"Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!"
Joe Everyman and Maria Williams continue walking down the ramp
looking into the crowd. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does
a Brock Lesnar-esque jump.
"I'm the one you thought that you could erase
But a predator that's faster than the food that it chased,
You fall off the horse you brought to the race
I'll be the one who's flyin' by ya kickin' s*** in your face."
"And right now, your faceless in the crowd
I'm shouting out loud
The one you counted out of the game
Oh wow!
Take a good look at me now
Should have never had a doubt
Is that you I hear screamin' my name?"
Joe Everyman walks up the steps and climbs into the ring. He looks
around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot
from the ring posts. Joe
then stands and waits.
"I'm a roller
I'm a rider
A number one mother****ing survivor"
"So move over
I'm the driver
And I'm high and I'm gonna keep gettin higher"
"Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!"
Cole: Well here he comes, the guy who blatently spat on XHF and everything it stands for!
*The lights go out completley for a brief second before
pyros explode along with the sound of the guitars and drums as
Killswitch Engage's
cover of "Holy Diver" blasts out of the sound system. The crowd go wild
as the former XHF and nCw World Champion steps out onto the stage. His
arms
stretched out at his sides, fists balled.
"Hmmmmhmmmm
Yeah Yeah!"
On the pitch harmonic Spike thrusts his arms into his chest to form
an "X" across his chest, just above the world title around his waist.
As the song
kicks in and he begins to walk to the ring, slapping the fans hands.
"Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me"
Spike rolls into the ring and quickly climbs up onto the
turnbuckle, arms outstretched and then into the "X" once more. The
crowd scream wildly
again.
"Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean"
Spike drops off the turnbuckle and runs to the opposite turnbuckle, climbing up and raising his arms.
"Gotta get away
Holy Diver!"
Spike drops back down as the music and lights begin to fade to normal.*
King: Ironically, here's the guy who did spit in our face but is here defending our honour and paying his respects!
Hardcore Rules Match
Joe Everyman vs. Spike Kane
The bell rings and the two men explode, charging each other down and
into a lock up. Spike hooks Everyman's head just as Everyman grabs
Spike's. The
two push and pull before a test of strength begins. Spike gains the
advantage and forces Everyman into the turnbuckle. The ref forces Spike
to break it off and
he does so. Spike backs off and taunts Everyman, telling him to "bring
it" Everyman charges Spike, and Spike steps back a little before
dropping
Everyman with an armbar takedown. Spike locks in the hold and Everyman
reaches out for the ropes. Spike wrenches the arm just before Everyman
reaches the
ropes. The ref counts for Spike to break the
hold...1......2.....3...-Spike breaks the hold and backs off.
Cole: Well Spike's being a nice guy and playing by the rules.
King: I think he's just trying to show Joe that he can wrestle too before we get hardcore.
Everyman gets to his feet and charges at Spike again. He raises an
arm for a clothesline but Spike ducks, however Everyman stopped right
in front of Spike. Joe
hooks Spike's head and plants him with a DDT. Everyman nips up to his
feet and grabs the ropes, jumping up and springboarding back with an
elbow drop to
Spike. Joe makes the quick cover.
1...
...2..-kickout.
Spike shrugs Everyman off, and Joe gets to his feet, stomping at Spike as he slowly gets up.
Cole: He's putting the boots to him!
King: Oh christ, stop acting like JR already..
Joe grabs Spike as he gets to his feet and whips him off the ropes. On
the rebound Joe comes off with a huge dropkick sending Spike to the
mat. Joe rolls to
his knees as Spike slowly gets to his feet. Joe bounces off the ropes
and goes for a shining wizard as Spike is on his knees but Spike rises
up and nails a
thunderous clothesline on Joe Everyman almost beheading him in the
process. The crowd roar with delight as Spike rises to his feet. Joe
clutches as his head.
Cole: Holy moly he almost took Joe's head off!
King: Moly?
Spike drags Everyman to his feet but Joe delivers a swift punch to
the gut, followed by another, and another. Joe then runs off the ropes
and goes for a
clothesline, but Spike swings around and hooks the other arm with his
legs rolling Joe up in a crucifix pin. The ref counts...
....1....
.......2...
..-kickout.
Joe slams the mat furiously and gets to his feet, taking Spike over
with a headlock takeover. Spike flops and Joe jumps over him bouncing
off the ropes and
snapping back with a front dropkick to the face of Spike Kane. Joe then
drops to his back and rolls out of the ring, lifting up the apron and
looking under the
ring itself.
Cole: I wonder if he's getting a weap-oh forget it...we all know he's getting weapons. Why do I even bother?
King: I wonder why you bother sometimes too.
Joe begins to throw weapons up onto the ring. A steel chair, a 2 x
4, a trash can, another steel chair, a kendo stick, and finally he
pulls out a table. He
sets it up near the security barrier. Joe shouts something at the fans.
As he turns around he spots Spike Kane launching himself off the ropes
with a
springboard flip, catching Joe and sending them both through the table
that Joe had just set up.
Cole: Oh my god!
King: Damn, how the hell did he do that!?
The two begin to crawl to the apron and climb into the ring and to
their feet. Spike flinches but so does Joe. Joe does the same, but
Spike flinches right
back. The two's faces are shown as fire is in their eyes. Joe carefully
goes forward and so does Spike. Both of them meet in the middle of the
ring as they
look deep into the eyes of one another, showing off to the crowd,
lipping and most possibly swearing to each other, but all of a
sudden...WHACK! Joe slaps
Spike hard right in the face as he gets a reaction from the crowd.
Spike, head down, feels his cheek before coming back with a hard slap
of his own right into
the face of Joe as the crowd cheers for Spike. This is when all hell
breaks loose and Joe tackles down Spike as the two men start to brawl
hardcore at each
other, with lefts and rights, Spike flipping over on top of Joe
clubbing the face of him as he gets up and screams for Joe to get
up. Once he does,
Spike comes full force and tries for a lariat, but Joe ducks as
Spike bounces off the ropes and gets kicked in the gut by Joe who hooks
his arms going for a
vertical suplex, but Spike flips Joe over and goes for the pin.
ONE...TWO...KICKOUT! Both men stand up and stand off to an ovation from
the crowd.
Cole: Damn, what a fight to kick things off here in this match.
King: Agreed.
Both men are circling the ring now as they wait for who is going to
throw the first punch again to each other. Spike goes for it but Joe
ducks and clubs his
back attempting a german suplex but Spike ends up grabbing the neck
slamming Joe down with a cutter as he slingshots off the middle rope
nailing a leg drop
going for the cover. ONE...T--kickout easily as Joe throws him off and
gets up, running towards Spike who drops and goes to the outside
pointing to his head,
talking to Joe. Joe then gets a light bulb as he runs away from Spike,
bouncing off the ropes and attempts for a suicide dive, but Spike is
one step ahead of
him who jumps on the apron. But Joe is one step ahead of Spike's one
step as he slides under Spike's feet and lands on the outside grabbing
Spike's
feet from behind, dropping them to the floor below as Spike's head
meets the apron. Joe takes Spike and starts repeating the head slam
right on to the
apron as the fans count along with him. He breaks it off at ten and
runs charging with a knee to the gut of Spike as he falls to the floor.
Joe, seeing this,
gives the middle finger to the crowd before charging at Spike who's set
up near the steel steps. Joe comes charging and Spike moves at the last
second
causing Joe to collide with the steel steps.
Cole: Man, Spike's really punishing Everyman.
King: He's educating him Cole.
Spike gets up slowly as a trickle of blood goes down his nose as he
picks up a steel chair from the timekeeper's table and screams for Joe
to get up. Once
he does, he attempts to swing it at him...Joe though grabs the chair
from Spike, kicking him in the gut and slamming the chair right onto
the back of Spike as
he starts screaming in pain. Joe shuts him up then by throwing the
chair, Sabu style at Spike as a loud smack! echoes throughout the
stadium. Spike falls to
the floor below and Joe goes and picks up Spike, yelling to the fans
behind the security wall to move out of the way as a few people do so.
Joe then grabs
Spike and launches him over the wall as Spike goes flying right into
about 10 seated chairs as they go everywhere around as the crowd
"ooohs" in
their direction as Joe jumps the wall and picks up Spike again, who's
busted open a little more now. Joe grabs Spike as they walk towards the
back entrance
way of the stadium, Joe picking up chairs and throwing them at Spike
who misses and ducks a couple but gets leveled with a couple as well as
they go inside the
back of the stadium where a few fans flock along to.
Cole: This is Falls Count Anywhere after all.
King: No shit, Sherlock!
They enter the conserative area where Joe is just playing games
with Spike now, as they enter a small pizza place as the fans are
crowded around the two men
and the referee. Joe takes Spike's head and bounces it across a
standing room only table as he throws him back outside, Spike crawling
to get up as Joe
moves around the fans, shoving a few out of the way before going back
over to Spike, picking him up...but Spike has still some fight left in
him as he starts
brawling with Joe, punching and kicking, finding a waste basket and
throwing it across the head of Joe as the fans around him cheer loudly,
Spike picking up
Joe as he kicks him in the gut and performs a double arm DDT to the
concrete floor actually going for the cover as the ref taps the
concrete.
ONE....TWO...KICKOUT by Joe as Spike stomps on him a couple times
before picking him up and throwing him against a wall near an entrance
to the stadium as he
walks out of the entrance, fans cheering as they see him appear out of
nowhere as he taunts to the crowd, but not before a dropkick from
behind by Joe sends
Spike falling down a couple flights of stairs, before reaching the
bottom as Joe goes over and walks down the stairs.
King: Spike had it coming to him.
Cole: What do you mean, he got attacked from behind!
Joe meets Spike down at the bottom of the stairs, as Spike gets up,
a little dazed by the dropkick but still able as he clubs Joe right
into the back of the
head a couple
times before grabbing him and attempting to throw him down into
the floor below but knowing Joe's strength, he doesn't budge as he
clubs Spike in the
neck a few times before trying to throw him off. Joe's attempt is a
little better but Spike doesn't go, as he tries his hardest to not get
thrown off
hitting Joe as the two men start brawling again, Spike grabbing Joe's
head and clanging it against the rail as it causes Joe to trickle blood
down his face
as Spike starts slamming his head on the rail over and over and over
again, payback from eariler when Joe slammed Spike's head on the apron
as Spike is now
angrier than ever as he sets up Joe over the rail as he holds one
barely with one arm as Spike steps back a little and sets up his
target. Then, with all of
his energy, he runs towards Joe and nails the a huge lariat onto Joe as
he falls about 10 ft. into a bunch of chairs that the fans were sitting
on as the crowd
is chanting along, with their usual banter.
Cole: OH MY GOD!
King: That might have hurt.
Cole: Sure it was 10 ft. but the landing had to hurt.
Spike goes over the railing and as Joe is laying across two chairs,
Spike jumps off and does a double foot stomp to Joe on the chairs as
fans chant
"X-H-F" over and over again. Both men are down as the fans chant for
them to get up. Spike gets up slowly and grabs Joe dragging him along
back to
the barricade where he throws Joe over the barricade back near the ring
as Spike follows him. He picks Joe up and throws him in the ring where
he goes to the
top rope and taunts the fans as he flies off with the Leap of Faith!!
He nails it pinning Joe. ONE....TWO....THREE! NO WAIT! JOE'S FOOT IS ON
THE ROPES!
THE MATCH CONTINUES! Spike gets frustated pounding on the mat as he
picks up Joe hooking his arms, he's going for....his brothers
move...the.. Reckless
Killing II. But Joe holds his leg on his own. He won't let Spike hit it
as he kicks him in the gut and throws him on his shoulder...TWIST OF
FATE! TWIST OF
FATE He goes for the cover...ONE...TWO...THR--SPIKE'S SHOULDER'S UP!
Joe pounds on the mat now as he picks up Spike and throws him to the
corner
lifting him up on the turnbuckle doing the cut-throat sign. He says
it's done and over with. He goes on the top and starts clubbing with
Spike as he throws
him up for the shoulders. He gets ready to drive down with none other
than Spike's own move the Spike Impailer
but Spike somehow gets off his shoulders! He does, headbutting Joe
in the nose and lifting him up for his own...SPIKE IMPAILER OFF THE
TURNBUCKLE!!! Spike
manages to flop an arm over Joe
Everyman.......one........two.....THREE!!!
Winner via Pinfall: Spike Kane!
Cole: He did it, he's the unofficial final XHF Champ!
King: And king of hardcore!
Intermission
"Evil Wins"
*It is now intermission during the broadcast. All is quiet as people shuffle out of their
seats to go get some food, drinks, maybe some of the last ever XHF
merchandise they can. All seems pretty normal for the biggest show
ever, well, at least that’s what everyone thinks. But then....then it
all comes crashing down. "Am I Evil" by Metallica hits the speakers and
the stage fills with mist. Strobe lights go on all throughout the
arena. Evil-Borg and Heavymetal-Borg come out together and
Heavymetal-Borg is air guitaring to the music. They make their way to
the ring throwing up the devil horns and threatening fans. They are
joined by fellow Borg members, Mini-Borg and Gold-Borg. This is indeed
a threatening sight. As the group gets into the ring Evil-Borg pulls
out a microphone.*
:evil It’s time to get EEEEEVVIIIIIIL!!!!
*The crowd boos.*
:evil There comes a time in every man, woman, or evil group bent on
universal domination’s life in which said group is either made great or
forever destroyed. Many go on their daily lives and never realize that
this gamble exists and they remain nothings or maybe just average
forever. Well folks, the Borgs are smarter than that!
:heavy WOOOP!
:evil That’s right folks, and tonight, at this Night in Which
Champions Battle is the pinnacle time of the Borgs! Tonight we will
RULE EVERYTHING! And how will we do it you ask? Well, watch and see!
*Evil-Borg turns his attention to the other Borgs.*
:evil RAISE THE VAT!
*The Borgs all look around. Finally Evil-Borg pauses.*
:evil Oh, that’s right, I have the remote.
*He looks into his hand, and there it is, a rather large oversized
remote with a long antenna on it. He presses one of the huge buttons
and a hole opens up on one side of the entranceway, and up comes a
clear vat of some sort of florescent purple liquid that is pouring out
some sort of smoke.*
:evil This is evil in it’s most purest form! It is nearly impossible
to transport, especially all the way from.....THE AFTERWARD! But
through our cunning and deceptiveness, we’ve been able to compile this
large mixture of it! Now if I may be so kind as to ask you all to- TURN
YOUR GAZE SKYWARD!
*The crowd, and cameras look up to see that quite some distance
above the vat is what appears to be an elevator car that is outside of
it’s shaft.*
:evil That is the Borg-Brand® Time Buster! It is the only method of
time-travel allowed to the Borgs, the only way that we can get to the
GLORIOUS AFTERWARD and not the DISPICABLE FUT-
*Heavymetal-Borg clears his throat.*
:heavy We can’t say that word, for us it must go unheard!
:evil Oh yes, THAT PLACE WE CAN’T SAY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!
:heavy WOOP!
:evil You see folks, by overloading our machine, it will exist in
all dimensions and times at once! So after lowering it into the vat, I
shall press the overload button, and EVIL WILL BE EVERYWHERE! And
finally, THE AFTERWARD SHALL RULE! AS WILL I!
*The Borgs all start laughing but this is soon interrupted by the hardcore beat of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes.*
:evil Not the Trons!
*Indeed it is Team Tron as they file out from the back onto the
entranceway. Lazor-Tron stands proud in front, but is joined by
Shogun-Tron, Saber-Tron, Xtreme-Tron, Mini-Tron, Techno-Tron, and
Taka-Tron! The whole of the Tron’s known to the XHF! For some reason,
they don’t need microphones. Lazor-Tron points to the stage, and the
others follow suit.*
:lazor This ends here Evil-Borg! For we are here to save.....THE FUTURE!
:evil You’re too late do-gooders! The process is just about to start! THE BORGS WILL RULE!
:heavy WOOP!
:saber Not if we stop you!
:evil Go ahead and try! We have these!
*Suddenly all four Borgs pull out these weird crystals.*
:techno OH NO! NOT THE HEARTS OF DARKNESS!
:evil Yessss, the Hearts of Darkness! Every Borg has one, it fuels his power, and maintains his disposition.
*Evil-Borg’s glows a Ghastly Green, Mini-Borg’s glows a Sadistic
Red, Gold-Borg’s glows a Virulent Yellow, and Heavymetal-Borg’s glows
a..um....er....Hardcore Purple!*
:evil What you fools probably don’t know is that with their powers combined-
:xtreme You form Captain Planet?
:evil Yes, we for- wait, no, that’s not what happens at all. We become nearly invincible!
:shogun If this is true then we must stop them before they can
activate the Hearts of Darkness. Otherwise they’ll be like Gods, or
God-like beings, which means No Luck for anyone!
Taka-Tron: Let’s get them!
*The Trons run down the entrance ramp towards the ring.*
:evil You’re already too late, losers!
*The four Borgs rush to the four corners of the ring, and each
inserts their crystal into the corner that they have occupied. Suddenly
loud noises start blasting as thick black smoke begins to descend from
the ceiling and lighting hits all four ring posts.*
:evil NOW YOU WILL FEEL OUR TRUE POWER!
*Team Tron all stop-poses and looks at the horror unfolding.*
:mini We can’t stop now!
:evil Fight us if you must, but you will lose!
*Team-Tron storms the ring. Techno-Tron and Gold-Borg square off,
the two powerhouses wail away, but Techno is overpowered and is thrown
out of the ring by the really not as bad restaurant owner, Gold-Borg.
On the outside, Techno-Tron gets up and poses with a clenched fist.*
:techno Blast! He’s too strong!
*The Minis meet and lock up, Mini-Tron appears to get the better of
his Borg counterpart, but has he leans over to deliver a finishing
blow, Mini-Borg launches the Tron over the top rope to the outside!
Meanwhile Saber-Tron and Taka-Tron are fighting Heavymetal-Borg. He
blocks swift kick from Taka-Tron and spins her into the Light Sword of
Saber-Tron! She crumples, holding her leg as she rolls out of the ring!
Saber-Tron, undeterred goes in for a stab with his Light Sword, but
Heavymetal-Borg dodges, grabs the handle of the sword and spins around
behind Saber-Tron. After that, all he needs to do is quickly kick
Saber-Tron away, and now he has his Light Sword! Saber-Tron is stunned
as Heavymetal-Borg takes a quick slice at Saber-Tron’s chest, causing
the weapons master to stumble backwards over the top rope to the
outside!
:heavy WOOP!
*The real battle though is going on between Evil-Borg and
Shogun-Tron with Lazor-Tron. There’s crazy kicks, and punches, and
poses going everywhere! Suddenly, Xtreme-Tron launches off the top rope
with an air attack on Evil-Tron, but Evil is able to dart to the side,
grab Xtreme-Tron and throw him into the others! The two catch him, but
this gives Heavymetal-Borg and Evil-Borg enough time to push them all
over the top rope! Team-Tron regroups on the outside in a cool
re-grouping pose as Evil looks on from the center of the ring.*
:evil You see my Tron brethren, it is far too late for you! One could say that you are in fact....OUT OF TIME!
:heavy WOOP!
*The Trons all look at each other. Then Lazor-Tron speaks to Xtreme-Tron.*
:lazor Young one, it’s time.
:xtreme You mean?
:saber Yes, call the Domestic Cat Zord.
*Xtreme-Tron runs out in front of the group.*
:xtreme Things are about to get.....furry.
*Xtreme-Ranger then does three perfectly executed star jumps and then points his morpher to the sky.*
:xtreme I NEED THE POWER OF THE CA-uh!
*Xtreme is stopped by being impaled by Mini-Borg, who was thrown by
Gold-Borg into Xtreme-Tron. Thus ending the summoning, and preventing
the Zord from being called.*
:evil Enough fun and games, it’s time to get EEEEEEEVIL!
*Mini-Borg jumps back up into the ring as Evil-Borg presses a button
on his remote, suddenly the whole ring starts moving around in a
counter-clockwise manner!*
:evil You see, tonight was the night because the XHF Arena is the
only one in the world which has the proper pully system to allow our
Borg-Brand® Time Buster to be lowered into a vat! We have spent weeks
changing the cranks, chains, and levers that control the Tower Match
structure, to match our EEEEVIL ways! As the ring turns it slowly
lowers the Time Buster into the vat, and when it reaches the liquid,
all I have to do is press a button and the whole of existence will be
rocked into our vision of....THE AFTERWARD!
:heavy WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
*The ring slowly spins as the Borgs laugh their evil laugh.*
:shogun What will we do!?
Taka: There’s only one thing we can do! We must push the ring to stop it’s turning!
:lazor Taka-Tron is right, we have to use brute force to stop this mayhem!
*The group run to one corner of the ring and begin pushing in the opposite direction, but to no avail!*
:evil You fools! As long as we maintain the power of the four Hearts of Darkness, you won’t be able to stop us!
:solid And that’s why I’m here to even the score!
*Nobody knows where the voice came from as they all look around,
suddenly from the rafters descends Solid Snake using Cypher! Once he’s
close to the ring, he lets go and pulls out a bazooka! He fires and the
rocket flies into one of the corners, BLOWING IT UP! Suddenly Gold-Borg
drops to his knees.*
Gold-Borg: MY POWER!
:evil No! Our quadra-protection! We’re no longer invulnerable!
*Solid Snake joins the Trons in their attempt to stop the turning
ring. But alas! It still continues as the Time Buster slowly gets
closer to the vat.*
:evil HAHAHA! Even with our power weakened, it would still take at
least two more of you, or one super-powered individual to stop the
process!
"STAND BACK! THERE’S A HURRICANE COMIN’ THROUGH!"
*The Hurricane’s theme plays as he runs out of the back and fly/runs down to the ring!*
Hurricane: Hurra-powers activate!
*Hurricane then assists the heroes as they try to stop the ring from moving, AND IT DOES!*
:evil BLAST! But it is of no matter! Soon you will tire yourselves
out and the ring will again continue to move, and the Time Buster will
reach the Evil Ooze, and TIME WILL BE MINE!
:solid It’s time to call in reinforcements!
*He touches his head and starts talking, soon coming from the
rafters on a rope is GI JOE! GI Joe swings into the ring and starts
fighting with Evil-Borg. However, Evil-Borg, in his powered up state is
too much for GI Joe and the American Hero is sent over the edge of the
ring! He jumps back up and starts pushing as well.*
:evil It’s no use! Bring all the friends you want, this ring will not budge!
:gijoe You know, that’s not a bad idea, why don’t we bring in some more friends?
*Suddenly a semi-truck bursts through the entranceway! It’s Optimus
Prime in his vehicle form! On top of Optimus Prime rides along Captain
Planet, CR, and Pangus!*
:prime Everyone, get out of the way, I’m going to ram the ring!
*Everyone moves to another side of the ring as Optimus flies at the
corner they were pushing on. Meanwhile, Captain Planet, CR, and Pangus
jump off.*
:planet By our powers combined....
:cr ...Justice will be served!
Pangus: ARF!
*Optimus rams the ring and tries to turn it the other way, but he
just spins his wheels. All the heroes start pushing, but to no avail.*
:evil AHAHAHA! We can wait all day for you to tire yourselves out, we have AN ETERNITY!
:heavy WOOOP!
*Some Japanese sounding music plays and out comes Ken the Box,
X-Box, Shadow Dragon, and GIZMO Dragon! They all run down to the
ring....well, Shadow Dragon does. KtB and his brother X-Box sort of
waddle, and GIZMO tries to run, but trips. Either way, a short while
later they too are all at the ring, pushing, trying to reverse the
direction of the ring, but it stands still, waiting for them to tire!*
:evil It’s over now heroes! When you all tire out, the Borgs shall rule all!
:willis Not if I have anything to do about it!
*Everyone turns to see Bruce Willis standing in front of one of the turnbuckles inside the ring.*
:heavy Who can it be now?!
:evil When did you get here!?
:willis I’ve been here the whole time
*He points at his camo suit and face paint.*
:willis Camouflage, baby.
:evil Well you can’t stop us now!
:willis Oh? I noticed that when Solid Snake blew up one of the corners you lost the power to sustain the spinning of the ring.
:evil So? Who cares!?
:willis Well, it got me thinking, what if you lost another corner?
:heavy WOOP!?
*Bruce Willis steps aside and there on the turnbuckle is a package, with a red blinking light.*
:evil Oh this is gonna suck....
*BOOM! THE TURNBUCKLE EXPLODES! Mini-Borg drops to his knees*
Mini-Borg: NOOOOO!
:shogun By my calculations, we only need one more person to push now that they’ve lost power and we can reverse this thing!
:bauer Well I guess that’s what I’m here for.
*Everyone turns to the entranceway where Curtis Bauer stands with a cigar in his mouth.*
:bauer Wait, you all suck, screw this.
*He then walks backstage. Bruce Willis jumps down and starts pushing
the ring with everyone else and it starts moving the other way.*
:evil Well this can’t go well
*Suddenly, as the Time Buster starts going upwards, a shot of lightning strikes Evil-Borg’s remote!*
:evil Oh no! It’s going to overpower the Time Buster!
:heavy WOOP!
*Everyone turns their attention to the Time Buster hanging in the
air and then it....it....BLOWS THE FUCK UP!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOM!*
:heavy THAT WAS OUR ONLY WAY BACK!
*Evil-Borg drops to his knees.*
:evil NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*He actually yells "no" longer, but there’s other dialogue while
he’s doing it. Lazor-Tron looks out at all of the heroes of the XHF and
nods.*
:lazor Good work everyone! Let’s go home!
*They all cheer as Evil-Borg is left in his misery.*
*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 Singles Match
Steve Awesome vs. Price (c)
Steve Awesome and Price stand opposite each other, the bell rings
and the two begin to shift about, pacing around the ring. The two lock
up and Awesome gains the advantage, twisitng Price's arm around into an
armbar. Price slaps at his shoulder as the armbar is applied, Price
slaps it again as he ducks under and manages to reverse the lock,
locking an armbar in on Steve Awesome instead. Awesome gets iritated
and elbows Price in the face. Price drops clutching at his nose and
Awesome pounces on top of him.
Cole: What a harsh shot.
King: Yeah moves like that make me cringe.
Awesome
slams fist after fist into Price's face before Price uses his strenth
to roll over and reverse the situation. Price delivers one or two
punches before he gets up off of Awesome, not favoring the brawl at
all. Price awaits Awesome to get back to his feet and runs off the
ropes so he's facing Awesome, Awesome is up as Price jumps with a knee
to the head of Awesome. Awesome falls backwards and Price locks in an
armbar on Awesome. Awesome reaches out for the ropes, being just out of
reach, but Price gets up, not letting go of the arm. He drags Awesome
to his feet and then pulls him over with an armdrag right into another
armbar. Awesome yells out as he reaches for the ropes, this time
reaching them. The ref tells Price to break the hold, and he does so.
King: And Price proving he's a better mat wrestler.
Price
backs away as Awesome tries to get up. Price charges but Awesome ducks
down pulling the top rope with him. Price is sent flying over the top
rope and crashes to the outside. Awesome grabs the ropes and jumps up,
turning himself around mid-air, he planchas off the top rope and dives
backwards landing on top of Price! The crowd is going wild and both men
are nearly out cold on the floor at ringside.
Cole: Did you see that high risk offense there King?!
King: I sure did, and it really paid off for Awesome, so it seems...
Awesome
is up on his feet first, but not by much as Price gets to his feet as
well. The ref has meanwhile begun his countout and is at around Three
by now. Awesome grabs Price by the hair, but Price charges forward with
his shoulder dug into Awesome's lower abdomen, Awesome hits the apron
as a result of the charge. Price then grabs Awesome by the head and
goes to hit him off the ringpost, but Awesome stops himself, and slams
Price's head into the ringpost instead. The ref is now on Seven in his
count, so Awesome rolls Price into the ring and then slides in himself.
Awesome covers Price. One....Two...KICKOUT!
Cole: Awesome almost had the U.S. Title won right then and there!
Awesome
slams the mat in frustration, but knew deep down he wouldn't win just
yet given the ability of his opponent. He then grabs Price by the head
and drags him to his feet before kicking him in the gut and pulling off
a flowing DDT. Awesome sits up and claps his hands mockingly as he
drags Price to the corner. He sits Price up, facing outwords and spits
towards the crowd who are booing him. He then goes to the opposite side
of the ring and sits on the turnbuckle before jumping down and charging
at Price, he lifts his knee to smack Price, but nobody's home! Price
had barely rolled out the way and Awesome crashes and burns.
King: Excellent in ring awareness by our United States Champ there.
Cole: He's not won yet though, so don't celebrate too soon King...
King: That's what you think...
Awesome
cries out in pain before he stumbles around, turning around right into
a left-armed stunner, aka the Price Crash from Price! The crowd gasps
immediately, as do the commentaters, and the refs, the cameramen and
even the timekeeper. Awesome is sprawled out in the middle of the ring
and nonchalantly Price goes for the cover thinking he's got it won once
and for all, the crowd chanting along with the ref's count moments
later: One......Two....Thre-NO, KICKOUT!!!
Cole: HOLY CRAP!
King: UNBELIEVABLE!
The
crowd ERUPT as Awesome somehow kicked out. Price has his hands in
stunned awe of this on his forehead before finally getting his wits
about him again and making his way to his feet. He soon after begins
stalking Awesome, daring him to get up, and Awesome does...very slowly,
obviously his brain is a little rattled after the Price Crash as it
were. Awesome is on a knee as Price furiously charges looking for a
diving bulldog from behind, but as he lifts his hand to grab Awesome's
head in mid-air, Awesome ducks! Price is spun around and facing away
from Awesome before Awesome jumps up and executes a jumping reverse DDT
out of nowhere! The crowd again pop big time for the wrestling skills
on display here, even though they otherwise are indifferent about
Awesome of course. Awesome then climbs to the second rope and taunts to
the crowd before jumping off with a molly-go-round, aka the The
Innovation of Awesomeness from high above! He covers the almost
unconscious Price and hooks both legs tightly. One.....Two.....Thre-NO,
this time it's PRICE who comes up with the epic Kickout to match
Awesome's from earlier!!
Cole: AGAIN so close! Awesome almost
had him finished, but it seems Price has his own ideas about how the
U.S. Title's legacy is destined to end this evening!
King: Yep almost the end for Price's title reign, but by god it still lives on nonetheless!
Awesome
lividly slams the mat over and over and over several times and then
gets up screaming a variety of foul words toward the referee. Price is
slowly getting to his feet nearby however. Shortly thereafter he grabs
Awesome from behind and executes a snap reverse suplex before Steve
could react whatsoever! With Awesome down Price stalks once more, this
time seemingly looking for a "Crackdown" vertabreaker, BUT as Awesome
gets up he delivers a quick kick to the gut and places Price between
his legs before proceeding to hit, THE EGO CHECK! Awesome covers as the
ref slides in for the count: One...........Two................THREE!
Winner via Pinfall and NEW/Final XHF United States Champion: Steve Awesome!
Cole: He's done it King, he's done it!!!
King: Yep much as I hate to admit it he's given Price and everyone here tonight one last opportunity to be...Awesomely Informed!
*The sound of a light breeze is heard throughout the arena as the
lights go off and a dull read light throbs on the Xtreme Tron. The
white sillouette of a
woman is seen walking slowly closer and closer to the screen, with a
black background and water dripping slowly down the screen as the
guitar chords of
"Going Down in Flames" by 3 Doors Down kicks up on the PA. Just as her
whole body is in it's best view, the water turns to a blood red and a
loud
bang emits, the red light turns to a dark purple and Dagger appears in
the center of the Xtreme Tron. She smiles and begins walking down to
the ring and jumps
into the ring just as the chorus ends.*
*"Praise" by Sevendust hits the speakers loud and clearly. The fans
are on their feet watching their former favorite female star in one T-Bird as she starts to
walk out from
the back. Her head is held high while she wears a black tank top with a
pair of wings adoring both sides. With that a pair of black leather
pants and of course
her feet taped up in black tape. Her head starts to bob a little to the
music till it goes loudler then she jumps as pryo goes off around her.
The music slows
down against as she makes her way down half jogging slapping a few fans
hands as the fans scream again for her. As the music picks up she
slides under the
buttom rope and is up again greeting the crowd on the turnbuckle. She
hops down and does it again on the other side. As she hops down a
second time she walks
around the ring getting ready for her match.*
*The lights all quickly flicker out now, as the bass and guitar
begin to kick in with the song of "What Have You Done" by Within
Temptation, featuring Keith
Caputo begins to come in the background. The blue lights cause a
reflection all around the arena as the crowd boos waiting for the
arrival of Tara Fenix. The
voice of Keith Caputo and Sharon den Adel are heard, as the opening
lyrics were heard shouted over the audio system.
What have you done now?
The instrumentals begin to pick up a little more, as the crowd boos
louder waiting for Tara still. The XtremeTron is showing clips of
famous matches that Tara
had competed in many coming in at a time. Signs for the dominant female
are held high as the camera looks over as many as possible before the
vocals continue
with just Keith Caputo now.
I know I better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
Sharons voice could be heard in the background now as the song
continued. But still Tara Fenix had not emerged! The crowd kept waiting
as the lights began to
brighten a little more each time the vocals had risen a bit more
higher.
I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retreating
It's over now
What have you done?
The music dies down a little bit, and the lights can be seen slowly dimming.
What have you done now?
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
(What have you done now?)
Why? Why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you.
Fireworks begin to shoot off at the stage, and the entire crowd
goes completely insane at the emergence of Tara Fenix! Her hand was
raised in the air, showing
off the devil horns. Her name was booed throughout the entire arena as
she began to make her way down to the ring, dressed in her wrestling
attire and
sunglasses were hiding her face.
While the words What have you done? keep repeating over the audio
system, Tara continues to make her way down to the ring looking out at
the crowd that was
still booing her, and a couple flipping her off. There was the
occasional whistle out from the men, and some lesbian women that were
out there because you
couldnt deny the beauty of Tara.
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to cause you have
Turned into my worst enemy?
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done?
Tara climbs the steel steps and walks towards the middle of the
apron of the ring, hooking both her arms around the top rope as she
stares out at the crowd.
She mumbles a couple words to herself, slurs out to the crowd out of
disrespect, as the crowd continues to stare, but as the words continue
to go through the
entire arena she finally turns towards the ring and goes between the
top and middle ropes, giving a small leap to get through. She goes to
the side of the ring
closest to the commentating table, reaching through to get a bottled
Aquafina water.
She comes back through and brings one foot onto the bottom rope,
and one onto the middle while she keeps one hand on the top rope and
the other holds her hand
high with the bottle of water still in hand. After coming away from the
rope, she opens the bottle of water and pours a little over herself
before taking a
quick drink out of it and tossing it out among the crowd, the water
spiraling through the air since she had failed to close it. She leans
against the
turnbuckle and raises her hand into the air before waiting for the
match to start.*
Triple Threat Match
Dagger vs. Tara Fenix vs. T-Bird
All three women stand in their respective corners, but once the bell
sounds, Tara and T-Bird go at each other to resolve unfinished
business. Dagger takes a
step forward to try to interject, but after watching these two women go
at each other, Dagger shrugs and goes to sit on the top turnbuckle,
letting the two
beat each other up!
Cole: Haha, looks like Dagger is just kicking back and enjoying the show now from her perch up there!
King: Yeah wise strategy on her part to simply relax and let the other two wear each other down I must admit...
T-Bird and Tara trade vicious right hands, neither one getting a
upper hand. Tara goes for a clothesline on T-Bird but it's ducked, and
Tara runs to the
ropes. T-Bird turns around and goes to give Tara a tilt-a-whirl slam,
but Tara lands on her feet and attempts another clothesline, but T-Bird
ducks, and lifts
Tara up for a back body drop. Tara is able to flip herself over onto
her feet and leaps onto T-Bird's shoulders going for a victory roll,
but T-Bird holds
herself up and goes to push Tara off looking for a slam, but once
again, Tara lands on her feet. A ducked spinning wheel kick leads to
T-Bird running towards
the ropes, only for Tara to knock her down on her back with a quick leg
sweep. Tara runs to the ropes and goes for a flipping senton, but
T-Bird rolls out of
the way. T-Bird gets up and goes for a hard kick to the chest, but Tara
blocks it, and goes for another sweep, that T-Bird jumps over. Tara
gets up to her feet
quickly and dodges a dropkick attempt from Tara. T-Bird gets up, and
ducks under a leaping enzuigiri attempt, and when Tara is on her back
she slides over and
applies a headlock. Tara begins to climb up to her feet, and both women
bounce back on the ropes behind them, and Tara shoves T-Bird into the
ropes on the
opposite side of the ring, and dropkicks T-Bird in the knee, sending
her down. T-Bird tries to get up to her feet quick enough, but she's
caught, and
slammed down into the mat with a hurricanrana! T-Bird rolls out of the
ring, and while all of this is happening, Dagger is still sitting on
the top turnbuckle
applauding! Tara turns her attention to Dagger and runs over towards
her, but Dagger lifts her foot up, connecting with Tara's face. Tara
staggers back and
Dagger steadies herself on the top turnbuckle and leaps off, driving
two boots into the back of Tara, driving Tara's head into the second
turnbuckle! Tara
gets up and begins to walk back, and Dagger rolls her up! The referee
starts the count, 1-2-Tara just kicks out.
Cole: Phew, that was extremely an extremely close call for Tara!
King: Yeah knowing that girl's ego you can bet she would NOT be happy to have that be the way her career ends altogether...
Dagger gets up, and T-Bird begins to climb up onto the apron.
Dagger runs towards her, but T-Bird sends a hard shoulder into Dagger's
ribs. Dagger falls
back holding her ribs, and she slowly begins to climb up to her feet.
The time that it takes for Dagger to get up to her feet allows T-Bird
to springboard
herself onto the top turnbuckle, and deliver a missile dropkick to
Dagger. T-Bird gets up and doesn't go for the cover, as she sees Tara
climbing up to her
feet. When Tara is all the way up T-Bird from behind grabs Tara by the
waist, attempting a german suplex. T-Bird lifts Tara up going for the
move, but Tara
uses all her wait to pull herself down, as she attempts a victory roll,
but the stronger T-Bird is able to hold Tara up and lifts her up,
sending her hard into
the mat with a devastating German Suplex! T-Bird bridges the pin, but
Dagger is able to break up the count before three. The quick Dagger
sends hard karate
kicks into the body of T-Bird, who is still trying to get up to her
feet. Dagger sends hard kicks that send T-Bird to the corner, and then
she grab her by the
wrist and attempts to toss her into the opposite corner, but T-Bird
reverses, sending Dagger into the corner. Dagger hit's the corner hard
and T-Bird runs
towards her and leaps up, and pushes her up in the air with a monkey
flip. While this was going on Tara had climbed to her feet, and when
Dagger was being
flipped Tara was in position, catches her, and slams Dagger down with a
sit-out power bomb! Tara makes the pin attempt, 1-2-T-Bird breaks up
the pin!
Cole: And T-Bird arrives just in time to prevent a near certain victory for Tara!
King: ....Mmmmmm, puppies....
Cole:...Uh, King, you even paying attention here still?
*Cole waves his hand a little in front of King's face...but nothing as he stares ahead at the ring regardless.*
T-Bird lifts Tara up and begins sending hard forearms into her
body, until she sets Tara up for a suplex. T-Bird goes to lift Tara up,
but Tara weighs herself
down and is able to connect with a suplex of her own on T-Bird. T-Bird
holds her back as she begins to climb up to her feet, only to be
knocked out of the ring
with a dropkick. Tara wastes no time, as she walks over to the corner,
and climbs to the top turnbuckle. T-Bird has finally gotten up to her
feet on the
outside, and when she turns her attention to Tara, Tara flies off the
top turnbuckle and connects with a picture perfect moonsault! Both
women are down,
leaving Dagger in the ring by herself. She is climbing up to her feet,
as she sees both Tara and T-Bird stagger on the outside. Both ladies
are up to their
feet and begin trading blows with one another, as Dagger bounces off
the ropes. When she nears the ropes she leaps up, standing on the top
rope and leaps off,
landing on her opponents on the outside! Dagger lands on her feet
looking at the fans, and then grabs Tara and tosses her into the ring.
Dagger stomps on
T-Bird, but then follows after Tara and hooks the leg; 1-2-Tara kicks
out!
Cole: And Dagger almost comes up with the decisive pinfall once again.
King: Close, but no cigar indeed.
Cole: ...What the hell do cigars have to do with this?
Dagger is upset by all this, by continues the attack on Tara by
lifting her up and hitting a European uppercut, sending Tara against
the ropes. Dagger grabs
Tara's wrist and goes for a irish whip, but Tara holds on and pulls
Dagger towards her, and drives a knee into Dagger's stomach. Tara hooks
both of
Dagger's arms and sets up for the Fenix Wings #1, but Dagger is able to
get out of the move, and both women take steps back, and Tara hits
Dagger with a
brutal super kick! Dagger just faints to the mat, and Tara goes for the
pin; 1-2-T-Bird breaks up the pin attempt! T-Bird and Tara begin to go
at it, as Tara
grabs T-Bird and rams her into a corner. Tara grabs T-Bird by the hair
and turns herself around and sits on the top turnbuckle, and hooks both
of T-Bird's
arms. She pushes herself off the turnbuckle, and connects with the
Fenix Wings #2! Before Tara could go for the cover though Dagger runs
and connects with the
Shining Wizard! All three women are down, as the crowd is on their feet
from this spotfest of a match.
Cole: Looks like the intensity is really starting to pick up here as this matchup reaches it's climax!
King:
Well I don't know about all that but speaking of "climaxes" I wouldn't
mind reaching a few myself with any of these lovely women backstage...
Both Dagger and T-Bird are the first to their feet, and the two of
them trade blows, until T-Bird clotheslines Dagger down. Dagger gets up
to her feet as soon
as possible but it's not quick enough, as T-Bird grabs Dagger, sets her
in position, and slams her into the mat with the Darkness Falls! T-Bird
doesn't
attempt the pin though, instead she stands up to her feet and taunts to
the crowd; signaling for the Soaring Eagle! T-Bird walks over to the
corner, and climbs
all the way up, and stands up on the top turnbuckle. She points to
Dagger and then leaps off, connecting with the Soaring Eagle! T-Bird
bounces off the mat
hard and she holds her stomach, but out of nowhere Tara gets up, grabs
T-Bird, and slams her into the mat with the Fenix Wings #1! Tara makes
the cover; 1-2-3!
Winner via Pinfall: Tara!
Cole: And Tara
wins it, in her final match ever in XHF she proves once and for all why
she was the only individual of these three to truly reach the top of
the mountain in the past and become World Champ!
*Tara sits up and holds her arms in the air, celebrating her
victory in the aftermath of all this. She then rolls out of the ring and the referee follows her to hold
her hand up in victory, as
Dagger and T-Bird watch her celebrate from the ring.*
XHF Night of Champions VII
March 30th, 2008
The XHF Arena
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Stadium Capacity: 100,000
*A mysterious scene opens up in a
dark black room, with what appears to be a TV in it as well. Footsteps
are heard, as the owner and boss of the XHF, Mongo The Destroyer walks
in. He picks up a remote control and turns the TV on. There we see the
first moments of the very first Night of Champions:*
*He
holds it in both hands and looks at it. He now must get back down to
the floor to win the match. He shakes himself out of the daze and looks
down to see Millennium ascending the ladder to the tier he is on.
Millennium reaches as Rage struggles to climb down. Theres no time as
Millennium pushes the ladder over with the last of his strength. He
drops down as Rage and the ladder begin to fall. Rage is thrown from
the ladder and drops nearly 40 feet and crashes through the Spanish
announce table. The title falls within 5 feet of an unmoving, bloodied
Rage. He must grab it to secure the win. Millennium knows this and
drops down two tier two as quickly as he can. He walks to the edge to
see Rage stirring. Millennium decides to save his title and he soars
off in elbow drop form. He flies through the air and within 6 feet of
Rage, Rage moves. Millennium crashes onto the wood from the announce
table and the concrete floor. Rage reaches an arm over and grabs the
Ultimate Title. He holds it up in the air triumphantly, still lying down. The bell
rings and Rage is the new Ultimate Champion!*
Winner of the Triple Tier Greenhouse and New Ultimate Champion with 2 out of 3 Falls: RAGE!
*Mongo flips the channel to something else*
*Scorpion
finally lets go of Reeshi, and Reeshi rolls out of the ring holding his
knee. The ring announcer gives the XHF Title to the referee, as the new
Champion sits there on his knees, crying in happiness. The referee
hands him the championship and Scorpion buries his face in the
championship, with blood and tears dripping down on it. The crowd is on
their feet chanting "Scorpion!" as he looks up to the people. "My Hero"
by The Foo Fighters is blaring over the PA system, as the second ever
Grandslam Champion climbs up to his feet and holds the championship in
on hand. Scorpion walks to all the corners of the ring and hold both
arms in the air, holding the XHF World Heavyweight Championship up in
pride. Reeshi is getting help to the back, as Night Of Champions II
comes to a end with Scorpion strapping the XHF World Heavyweight
Championship around his waist, while holding his arms in the air.*
*Mongo flips the station*
The
sight of Destruction's body flying and the impact of both men hitting
the canvas raises the volume in the Tokyo Dome significantly, and
Reeshi makes the cover. One. Two. It won't end like this! Applause
comes pouring from the crowd for Destruction's kick out. Both men lay
and the referee starts his count but it doesn't get far before they
stand. They exchange weak chops without the power behind them needed to
make them effective. Reeshi goes for another Oreeshinator but elbows
get Destruction out. Destruction goes for a Countdown to Armageddon but
elbows get Reeshi out. Destruction grabs a side headlock and Reeshi
shoves him to the ropes. Reeshi jumps with a flying clothesline as
Destruction ducks. Destruction approaches Reeshi from behind and hits a
knee to the back. Reeshi bends over in pain. Destruction bounces off
the ropes and hits a flying knee to the back, knocking Reeshi to his
knees. Destruction hooks up Reeshi and hits the blue thunder bomb! He
lets go of Reeshi, not being able to make the cover. Instead he puts
his efforts into getting to his feet and stalking Reeshi. When Reeshi
is up he grabs him from behind and hits another blue thunder bomb. With
a burst of energy Destruction shoves Reeshi aside, picks him up again
and hits a third blue thunder bomb, holding the legs as hard as he can
for one, two, three!
Winner and the NEW XHF Champion: Destruction!
*Mongo once again flips through the TV*
Venom
falls off of Gravedigger, as the fans are on their feet from this
match. Hardcore Harry is on one knee looking into the ring, until he
places his head onto the mat. He shakes it, as he slowly gets off the
ring and begins going up the ramp. The referee is handed the XHF World
Heavyweight Championship from the timekeeper, as Venom is slowly
pushing himself up. Gravedigger is still motionless inside the ring, as
Venom is all the way up. The referee goes to hand Venom the
championship belt, but Venom snatches it away from him. Venom looks
around the arena, and then falls to one knee. Venom holds his arms up
in the air, as the lights reflect off the championship gold. Venom
holds his ribs with his free arm, as he holds the XHF World Heavyweight
championship in the air. Venom pushes himself all the way up, and
places the belt on his shoulder. Venom pats his XHF World Heavyweight
Champion, as Night Of Champions IV fades with the image of a champion.
*Getting irritated, Mongo can't find what he wants...he flips again*
Charlie
and Venom stay down, the only life that either man is showing is
Charlie kicking his feet to try to keep him going. The move took all
the energy out of Charlie and Venom, who just lie their motionless. The
fans begin applauding the two men, which must be the only thing
motivating these two guys, as they both roll to their stomachs. Charlie
and Venoms heads are next to one another, as they both begin pushing
each other up to their feet. The former partners and bitter rivals
begin shaking with anger, not keeping their eyes off of one another.
The two bloody men with their blood stained hands get up to their feet,
and both men begin sending fists to one another, each shot as
devastating as the previous. After a while both men stumble to their
knees, but are able to stay on their feet and Charlie clotheslines
Venom down. Charlie falls next to Venom, who begins coughing up his own
blood. Charlie Velez pushes himself up to his feet, and bends over to
pick Venom up. As he is doing this though Venom takes advantage, as he
delivers a low blow that sends Charlie reeling in pain. Venom climbs up
to his feet and places Charlie Velez between his legs, and spreads his
arms out taunting for the Casualty To Society. Venom goes to life
Charlie up, but Charlie is able to hold his weight down, staying on his
knees. Charlie gets his head out from between Venoms legs, and punches
Venom straight in the groin. Venom bends over in pain as Charlie climbs
up to his feet and grabs Venom by the head and tights, and tosses him
off the top of the miniature Hell in a Cell, sending him crashing into
the top of the Greenhouse! The impact causes Venom to bounce up and
roll off the edge of the Greenhouse, where he lands through the
announce table!
*Mongo now starts
rampantly flipping through stations, every station a moment from Night
of Champions including Spike Kane, Charlie Velez, Rat Bastard, Venom, MGK, Reckless Jack and
then....BOOM! The TV shatters and explodes into a million pieces. Mongo
just stands there with the remote. He turns around so that he is facing
the camera and says:*
"Can you handle this much action?"
*Mongo drops the remote and leaves as the scene finally fades.*
*Another voice comes on in as special effects happen*
"NOW, the Xtreme Hardcore Federation proudly presents as it's grand finale...NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS SEVEN!"
*The
scene shifts to the XHF Arena where "Through the Fire and the Flames" is being
played live on a side stage by Dragonforce themselves as tons and tons of pyros go off all around the arena and around
the ring, and the crowd itself is downright deafening at the same time. Finally the pyros end and the place is
still roaring as our usual team of announcers, Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler, cut in from ringside.*
Cole: WELCOME TO THE XHF ARENA HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA AS WE
PRESENT TO YOU THE FANS, THE GRANDEST STAGE OF ALL FOR QUITE POSSIBLY
THE FINAL TIME EVER...NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS!
King: Absolutely right Cole. This may very well be the greatest PPV of
them all.
All of the major XHF titles are on the line as usual including the
X*Crown and World Heavyweight Titles in "7 Deadly Sins" and "Flawless"
matchups respectively.
Cole: Speaking of which though...it's time for the opening match this evening. Let's send it down to the ring.
*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.....
"You
can just feel the details. The bits and pieces you never bothered to
put into words. And you can feel these extreme moments...even if you
don't want to. You put these together, and you get the feel of a
person. Enough to know how much you miss them...and how much you hate
the person who took them away."
And
with that, the opening guitar riff of "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch
Engage comes blaring over the system. People now know who's coming out
to the ring as they start to cheer loudly, and out of the red strobe
lights walks Kevin Hardaway, getting a huge pop as he walks around the
entrance ramp, just walking to the ring smiling. He keeps walking to
the ring as his music plays, stopping at the apron, as when he's near
the ring as he runs in with full speed and slides into the ring.
Kevin gets in the ring and immediately goes on the top
turnbuckle raising his arms up in the air, in the \m/ symbol while his
arms are in the "X" fashion, signifing his "straight edge" prowlness as
the music fades, Hardaway standing in the ring, waiting...hoping.*
*A timer appears on the X-Treme Tron. Counting down from five.
5.4..3.2.1.
0!!!!!!!
A
booming pyro rocks the foundation as the thundering guitar of "Five
Minutes Alone" by Pantera hits the P.A system. And now standing at the
top of the ramp, a monster of a man. Six foot seven, somewhere around
three hundred pounds of thick mass and one sickening smile.
I see you had your mind all made up you group of
Pitiful liars. Before I woke to face the day, your master
Plan transpired. -Something told me- this job had more to
Meet the eye. My song is not believed? My words some-
What deceiving? Now I'm unwhole.
Zero
Tolerance comes stomping down to the ring, dressed in a black singlet
with the Zero Tolerance symbol on the chest. He also has a black towel
covering his face.
You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Zero reaches up and pulls himself onto the apron and steps up over them.
Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar.
You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us
Zero walks to the middle of the ring and throws his arms up as pyro shoot from each turnbuckle!
5 minutes alone!!!!
And with that Zero turns to look at his opponent for tonight!*
Singles Match
Kevin Hardaway vs. Zero Tolerance
The bell rings and right away Zero Tolerance charges full speed ahead and hits a dropkick on Kevin Hardaway. Kevin rolls backward and gets up holding his chest. Zero then charges in and hits a few forearms. Zero knocks Kevin into the ropes and then whips him across the ring. Zero gets to the middle when Hardaway is on the way back and hits a back body drop. Zero makes a quick cover for a quick one count. Zero looks extremely fired up at this point. He pulls Kevin up off the mat and hits a snap suplex. Zero floats over and starts wailing away with mounted punches to Kevin's head. Finally though Kevin pushes Zero off of him. Kevin gets up to his feet and Zero charges. Kevin goes for a clothesline in turn, but Zero ducks and hits a neckbreaker. Zero then covers again. 1, 2, kickout!
King: Wow, that Zero Tolerance sure is out to prove something tonight, huh?
Cole: No doubt about it, he much like everyone else on XHF's roster wants to end their career tonight with a WIN on the biggest stage of all and not by any means a loss!
Zero pulls Kevin up off the mat. He sets up for the Face Mangler, but Kevin lifts up just in time and throws Zero off of him! Zero lands on his knees and Kevin quickly charges and hits a shining wizard! Zero goes down and rolls out of the ring as Hardaway sits on the mat to catch his breath. Kevin stands and backs away from the ropes. Zero stands up and Kevin hits him with a baseball slide! Zero stumbles back into the guard rail. Kevin stands up (still in the ring) and grabs the top rope. He pulls back and jumps straight out with a plancha onto Zero Tolerance! Both men are down for a bit in sheer exhaustion.

Zero turns around and Kevin hits a back kick to the gut. Kevin then turns around and grabs Zero. He hits a double arm DDT.
King: Kevin really made a comeback.
Cole: He did indeed, looks like both men want this victory quite a bit, even if it is the curtain jerker match of sorts after all.
King: Yep regardless of when it takes place this is NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS for cryin' out loud, it's time to put up or shut up once and for all quite frankly!
Kevin pulls Zero toward a corner. He then goes into said corner and jumps up. He comes off with a split legged moonsault, but Zero gets his knees up however! Kevin rolls around holding his gut in visible agony. He stands up somewhat dazed and Zero grabs him from behind and hits a german suplex out of nowhere! Now Kevin gets up holding the back of his neck. Zero grabs him from the front and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex to follow up fittingly on the previous one! Zero then runs up a turnbuckle and taunts to the crowd. He then jumps off with a frog splash, perhaps to beat Kevin with one of his own moves, but it doesn't work out so well because Kevin rolls out of the way! Zero bounces off the mat with a devestating thud as a result. Kevin gets up and quickly hits a quick elbow drop to the back of Zero's head. Kevin then gets up and uses the ropes to hold him up. Zero slowly gets to his feet. As he stands, Kevin charges and jumps up to hit a hurricanrana!

Both men get to their feet and charge each other with a double clothesline at once! Both men are down and the fans, all 100,000 strong inside the XHF Arena are standing and cheering now!
Cole: What dizzying back and forth action there!
King: That was extremely crazy, downright absurd even.
Cole: For a big man Zero is most certainly holding his own and even showing off a little Junior-Heavyweight style maneuvering off and on, very impressive indeed.
Both men are slow to their feet as the ref does his ten count. Both men are up by 8 and they meet in the center of the ring. Kevin puts all his power behind a punch. It knocks Zero back a step, and then he attacks with a vicious punch back to Kevin. He staggers back, then comes back and hits a hard punch again. Zero staggers back a bit more and then comes back and hits Kevin with momentum on his side now as well and he knocks Kevin back into the ropes. Kevin springs out and hits a flying forearm! Kevin pulls Zero up off the mat and into a corner. He sits him up on the top rope and climbs up. Kevin pulls Zero up and hooks him for a superplex, but Zero hits him in the stomach with a punch to prevent it. He then shoves Kevin off the top rope altogether. Kevin hits the mat. As Zero stands up on the top turnbuckle, Kevin is starting to get up. Zero awaits and when Kevin is vertical, Zero comes off with a big crossbody! He hits it! But Kevin rolls through somehow! He hooks Zero's leg. 1, 2, Thre-NO, Kickout!

Cole: That reversal always amazes me.
Kevin and Zero both stand up. Kevin hits Zero with a few forearms. He then lifts him onto his shoulders in a torture rack position. Kevin spins Zero around for the Asylum Bomb, but Zero reverses it into a hurricanrana! Zero rolls back over Kevin and stands up at his feet. He grabs Kevin's legs and starts to set him up for a sharpshooter. Kevin is fighting it with all the will and might he has left in him by now. Zero bends down for more leverage, but Kevin grabs him and gets a variation of a small package. 1, 2, Kickout. They both stand up and Zero turns around into a scoop from Kevin. Kevin then plants him with a Michinoku driver! Kevin then stands up and points to a nearby turnbuckle. He then goes to that corner and jumps up. The fans are on their feet. Kevin jumps off with a Five Star Frog Splash, aka the "Hope Is...", BUT like he did earlier, Zero once again moves! Kevin gets up holding his stomach in utter disbelief and before he can react whatsoever Zero grabs him and quickly hits a MASSIVE powerbomb, one of his OWN finishers as it were in the form of a Zero Bomb! Zero turns him over for the cover moments later: 1......2........3!
Winner via Pinfall: Zero Tolerance!
*The ref raises Zero's hand in victory and he looks fatigued from the match, yet incredibly proud of himself for matching Kevin stride for stride throughout the whole contest and managing to come out on top at an event this pivotal. He gets up on the turnbuckle to acknowledge the many fans who cheer in approval as we cut to a short break before the next scheduled matchup this evening...*
*The crowd is deathly silent as the beginning guitar riffs of "I Walk
Alone" by Saliva hits. There are mixed reactions from the crowd, some
cheers, some boos.
"I Walk Alone!!"
As soon as the opening line is said, red, orange and yellow
multicolored pyros begin to shot from the front and sides of the stage,
firing straight up. Then,
the entire stage is engulfed in flames, shooting from every pour of the
stage.
"This television has a poison on its breath.
This counter culture of both wicked lies and death.
It makes my eyes bleed everytime I turn around.
How will they all feel when I
bring them to the ground?"
The fire splits in the middle as Mark Evil walks out onto the
stage, looking off into the crowd. He continues down onto the ramp as
the fire builds back up. As
he walks down the ramp, the fire behind him slowly dies down.
"And I'll say.
I walk for miles inside this pit of danger.
A place where no one follows me, I walk alone.
Huh!"
Mark Evil stops just before the ring and slowly walks over to the
stairs. He slowly walks up them and steps over the top rope to get into
the ring. He then
raises he arms, and as soon as they drop, the stage and ring posts
erupt in bright red pyros, shooting off in all directions. Mark then
stops and looks around
in the crowd with an evil smirk on his face. He then stands and waits
for the match to begin.*
"I'm sick of all these people talkin' out their heads.
I've never understood a damn thing that they said.
From words to actions never
knowing what they're about.
I guess I'll have to chew them up and spit them out."
Announcer: Now from Glendale, Arizona weighing in at 275 pounds. "The Evil One" Mark Evil!
Cole: This guy won't die.
King: That's because he is pure Evil.
*Suddenly an eerie breathing takes over the P.A system causing the
lights in the arena to go pitch black. The breathing gets more and more
intense slowly giving
way to the opening riffs of the The Duke Nukem Theme performed by
Megadeath.
"Let's Rock"
A big blast of pyro explodes from the stage as the song breaks into
its fast paced metal sound. This cues the young hardcore champion to
step from behind the
black curtain in a blast of energy. The crowd love Jayson but he still
only gets a mixed reaction as the evil John Michaels follows him down
to ringside.
Jayson moves from side to side on the stage dressed in a pair of red
wrestling shorts and his XHF Hardcore championship strapped around his
waist. John meets
Jayson in the middle of the entrance stage and looks a little bit
embarrassed of Jaysons actions.
The guitars rock on as Jayson runs down the ramp and dives into the
ring through the bottom and second rope and landing in a forward
summersault and on his
feet. Then in one last burst of energy he leans over the ropes raising
his hardcore title high in the air as John looks on at the hardcore
title in awe.*
King: Our Hardcore Champion!
Cole: The crowd loves this kid and his zany antics.
XHF Hardcore Championship Match
Mark Evil vs. Jayson Matthews (c)
Jayson hands the Hardcore Title off to the ref as he then lifts it high
into the air, showing this is for the championship. He lowers the belt
and passes it
off to the ring announcer as the bell has been rung. Jayson is clearly
the smaller of the two in this match as Mark Evil, well, looks evil.
Jayson rushes
towards Evil and pounds away on his chest, trying to phase the big man
but it isn't working well as Evil takes his hand and places it on the
head of Jayson
before throwing him down to the mat. Jayson rolls back up to his feet
and grabs the top rope. He springboards, jumping backwards, trying for
a crossbody but
he just bounces off Mark Evil. Evil smirks as Jayson quickly exits the
ring as John Michaels gives him a few words of encouragment. Mark Evil
goes over the
top rope, leaving the ring himself.
Cole: Jayson's head on attack isn't going to work, he needs to think of a plan.
King: I think that's what John Michaels is for.
Mark Evil goes to the time keepers table and grabs a steel chair
and slams it shut. Mark walks towards Jayson who flips the ring apron
up and looks underneath
the ring for something to help him out. Jayson pulls out a trash can
lid as he sees Mark Evil nearing him. Jayson gets back into the ring
and invites Mark
Evil back in. Evil does but as he gets up, Jayson hits him in the back
with the trash can lid. Then he hits him a second time as the lid is
pretty well
dented by this point. Mark is still getting back up to his feet as
Jayson grabs the chair away from Mark. Jayson lifts the chair up high
and them slams it in
the back of Evil. Evil goes down to his stomach as Jayson drops the
chair. He runs towards the ropes and jumps off the middle, hitting a
quebrada on the back
of Mark Evil.
King: Impressive move by the young Jayson Matthews.
Cole: No doubt. But I hardly think this is near enough to put Mark Evil away.
Jayson flips him over for a cover but Evil sticks his hand up and
gets Jayson in the goozle. Mark sits up with his hand around the throat
of Jayson. Jayson
is begging for him to let go as Mark gets up to his feet. Instead of
lifting him for a chokeslam, Mark throws him into a corner. The impact
makes Jayson
slump down but the ropes are holding him up. Mark grabs the chair he
orginally brought into the ring for his own use and hits Jayson in the
head. Jayson
fully slumps down now as Mark sets the chair over the face of Jayson
Matthews. Mark runs, bounces off the ropes and hits a chair assisted
facewash! The crowd
lets out that "OHHH" sound as Mark has that sadistic smile on his face.
Cole: Wow, that was sick.
King: First time I've seen something like that.
Mark pulls Jayson out of the corner as we see he's been busted
open. Blood is pouring down the face of Jayson Matthews as Mark Evil
covers him.
One!
Two!!
Jayson is able to get his left shoulder off the mat. Mark picks up
Jayson and throws him out of the ring. Jayson lands on the floor as his
face has become a
crimson mask. Mark goes out himself now as he lifts up Matthews once
again. This time, Evil throws Matthews into the ring barrier like a
heat seeking missle. Jayson falls on his head as Mark looks underneath
the ring. He pulls out a bag and empties the contents onto the ringside
mat. It's thumb tacks not that
it really surprises anyone.
King: This could end up badly.
Cole: Those thousand upon thousands of thumb tacks.
Mark does a cut throat motion now as he goes back to Jayson
Matthews. The blood loss is getting huge now as there is a puddle of
blood where Jayson was laying
at. Mark lifts Jayson and gets him in the tombstone position, which
would mean the Hell Spike is coming. Mark takes him over to the thumb
tacks as the crowd
gets on their feet. However, Mark takes too long as Jayson has enough
wits left about him to swing his legs around and headscissor Mark Evil
onto the thumb
tacks. Jayson Matthews, in one swift motion, jumps onto the ring apron
and then jumps back off with a double foot stomp and forces the tacks
further into
Evil's body. The crowd begins to cheer as Jayson is staggering around.
Cole: Ouch. That's gonna hurt tomorrow.
King: No kidding.
Jayson looks underneath the ring and pulls out ladder that was used
earlier tonight. Jayson sets it up on the outside of the ring and
starts to climb. While
this is going on, Mark Evil has pulled out of a table while the tacks
are sticking out of his back. He sets it up next to the ladder as he
sees Jayson towards
the top. Mark starts to climb himself as Jayson starts to pound on him.
Mark tries to throw a right hand on Jayson but he's able to block it.
Using
what's left of his strength, Jayson pulls Mark Evil over the top of the
ladder and butterflies his arm. Jayson then jumps up, flips over Mark
and hits his
That's Gotta Hurt through the table! The crowd is going insane as
Jayson slowly covers.
One!
Two!!
THREE!!!
Winner via Pinfall and STILL XHF Hardcore Champion: Jayson Matthews!
*The bell rings as the crowd is in shock but yet still cheering loudly despite this fast-paced match.*
*The slow beginning of "The Energy" by Audiovent hits the PA system, and
as the sound gets stronger, a pyro goes off before the vocals kick in.
The
Chris and Chris Connection walk out from the back curtain, looking
around at the booing crowd. Adams flexes as Williams goes down to the
middle of the ramp,
spinning around to show off the back of his shiny jacket as both men
get into the ring as Williams takes off his jacket, resting it in the
turnbuckle.*
*"Cold" by Static-X is heard, and The Dark Parade with the Dark
Mistress walk out. The Scarecrow is wearing a leather jacket and
sunglasses, as The
Pumpkin is wearing Big Round Sunglasses. They then slide into the ring
and jumps on the second rope. The Dark Mistress gets in the ring, as
The Scarecrow
stares at the crowd, and The Pumpkin rolls his shoulders and does a
Christian type taunt. The Scarecrow then jumps off and gives his jacket
to the Mistress,
and then puts his sunglasses on her head. The Pumpkin then jumps off
and gives the Mistress his sunglasses.*
Tag Team Match
The Dark Parade vs. The Chris & Chris Connection
The Pumpkin walks to his corner and so does Chris Adams, letting The
Scarecrow and Chris Williams start off the match as the bell rings in the background. Scarecrow kicks him
in the stomach, and
then grabs him by the arm and whips him into the ropes. The Scarecrow
goes for a clothesline, but Williams ducks and then dropkicks The
Scarecrow out of the
ring. The Scarecrow slowly pushes himself up using the apron, as
Williams runs to him and baseball slides him. The Scarecrow hits
against the railing, and
Williams then climbs up to the top rope. He taunts a little bit to the
crowd and then flies off the top rope going for a cross body, but The
Scarecrow moves
out of the way causing Williams to crash into the railing!
Cole: Ouch, you know Williams' head has to be throbbing right about now after a crash landing quite like that one.
King: Yeah I think it's safe to say that one's gonna leave a mark...
The Scarecrow then begins to send boots into the lower back of
Williams, and then picks him up by the hair and then throws him into
the steel ring post!
Williams lies against the padding, and The Scarecrow taunts to the
crowd. He picks up Williams and rolls him threw the bottom rope and
then follows and makes
the cover. Chris Adams breaks up the pin at two, and The Scarecrow then
climbs up to his feet and sends his boot into Williams chest. The
Scarecrow tags in his
brother The Pumpkin, who cockily walks into the ring. The Scarecrow
holds Chris Williams up in a full nelson, letting his brother kick him
in the gut twice.
The Scarecrow then goes to his corner after Chris Williams falls to his
knees, holding his stomach. The Pumpkin now wraps his arm around the
neck of Chris
Williams, applying a dragon sleeper The Pumpkin screams at the referee
to ask Williams if he quits, but Williams nods his head, not losing the
match for him
and his partner. As Williams slowly begins to pass The Pumpkin drives
his knee into the back of Williams, applying more pressure than before.
Chris Adams gets
off of his corner fed up of what is happening, and then runs in and
clotheslines The Pumpkin from behind, causing him to release the hold!
The Scarecrow gets
into the ring trying to help his partner, but Chris Adams just
backdrops him. The Scarecrow rolls holding his back as Chris Adams
motions for The Scarecrow to
come to him. The Scarecrow finally turns around to Chris Adams, but The
Pumpkin forearms Chris Adams from behind and then locks on reverse
front facelock and
drives him against the mat with a diving reverse DDT! The Dark Parade
then begin to beat up Chris Adams, as Chris Williams slowly climbs up
to the top rope.
The two Dark Parade members finally see Williams, but they are too late
as he both knocks them down with a double crossbody!
Cole: Holy crap these two Dark Parade members are insane!
King:...And you're, just now figuring this out Cole?
Chris Williams now begins to pound on The Pumpkin, and lifts him up
to his feet. Chris Williams then drives The Pumpkins head against the
second turnbuckle,
and then repeats the process! After about the ninth time Williams holds
his arm up in the air, and The Scarecrow climbs up to his feet. The
Scarecrow runs to
Williams, but Williams catches The Scarecrow and throws him against his
brother, causing The Pumpkin to smash his face against the turnbuckle
once again! The
Scarecrow falls to his back, and then The Pumpkin falls back, landing
on the groin area of his brother! The Scarecrow screams in pain, as
Williams laughs and
then picks him up and throws him out of the ring. The Pumpkin is then
lifted to his feet and then Williams snapmares him, and then dropkicks
him in the upper
neck area. Williams quickly covers The Pumpkin, but The Pumpkin kicks
out at two. Williams holds the hair of The Pumpkin, and then tags in
his partner Chris
Adams. Chris Williams goes to his corner, as his partner Chris Adams
continues the assault on The Pumpkin. Adams throws The Pumpkin to the
ropes, and then
lifts him up over his head. Chris Adams walks into the center of the
ring with The Pumpkin up in the air, and begins to do military presses!
Adams laughs and
then drops The Pumpkin onto his shoulder, and then drives him against
the mat with a running powerslam!
Cole: A resounding powerslam there by the big man Adams, and that could be all she wrote for the Dark Parade now!
King: Yeah things aren't looking up for Scarecrow and Pumpkin that's for damn sure...
Adams makes a cocky pin, and The Scarecrow breaks up the pin. The
Scarecrow doesnt go to his corner though, as he is interrupted by the
referee. The Scarecrow
and the referee argue, as Chris Adams lifts The Pumpkin up for a
powerbomb. Adams holds The Pumpkin in the air, as The Scarecrow pushes
the referee out of the
way and then runs to Adams and spears him! The Pumpkin falls on top of
Adams, and The Scarecrow rolls out of the ring and goes to his corner.
The Pumpkin tags
in The Scarecrow, and The Scarecrow climbs up to the top rope. Chris
Adams slowly climbs up to his feet, and The Scarecrow flies off the top
rope and knocks
Chris Adams down with a missile dropkick! The Scarecrow crawls over and
hooks the leg, but Chris Adams kicks out at two. The Scarecrow punches
Adams in the
face twice, and then lifts Chris Adams head up and locks on a sleeper
hold. The Scarecrow chokes the life out of Chris Adams, and the big man
begins to fade
away. The Scarecrow tells the referee to ask Chris Adams if he quits or
not. Adams refuses so The Scarecrow tightens the sleeper hold, so the
referee asks
Chris Adams again, but he does not respond. The referee lifts up Chris
Adams arm and it falls, and the referee counts one. The referee checks
for the second
time and it falls again, as the referee counts two. The referee now
lifts Adams arm up for the third and final time, but Adams grabs The
Scarecrow by his neck!
The Scarecrow is in shock as Chris Adams slowly climbs up to his feet.
The Scarecrow still has Adams in the sleeper, but all of a sudden Chris
Adams snapmares
him off! The Scarecrow rolls up and runs to Adams, who goes for a
clothesline. The Scarecrow ducks and Chris Adams runs against the
ropes, but gets knocked
down by a spinning wheel kick!
Cole: And Adams comes up empty altogether somehow!
King: Sure didn't see that coming but it could well be a turning point in this contest from the looks of things.
The Scarecrow makes the cover, but Chris Adams still kicks out! The
Scarecrow is confused about the decision, but still beats on Chris
Adams. The Scarecrow
lifts Chris Adams up and applies a reverse front facelock, and then
walks to the corner. He walks up to the second rope and taunts to the
crowd for a reverse
tornado DDT, and then jumps off. The Scarecrow swings around and lands
on his feet, but Chris Adams doesnt fall. Adams drives his elbows into
the ribs of The
Scarecrow and then gets him on his shoulders, and spins him around and
connects with the Adam Explosion! The Scarecrow rolls around holding
his ribs, as Adams
slowly gets on his knees and begins to crawl. Chris Adams finally gets
a foot away as The Pumpkin gets off his corner. The Pumpkin runs to
Adams, but Adams
finally gets on his feet and knocks The Pumpkin down with a powerful
clothesline and finally tags in Chris Williams! Williams gets into the
ring and then
Hurricanranas The Pumpkin who was climbing up to his feet, and then
dropkicked The Scarecrow in the head. The Pumpkin tries to get to his
feet but Chris
Williams continues the assault on The Pumpkin. The Pumpkin pushes Chris
Williams, and Williams rolls against the mat. The Pumpkin gets up and
goes to run to
Williams, but Chris Adams suddenly gets into the way and running
chokeslams The Pumpkin!
Cole: Uh oh looks like Adams is having NONE of this sneaky pinfall business as it concerns the Dark Parade.
King: Yeah that monster of a man definitely isn't here to play any childish games this evening, he's here to come out on top and be a winner in his last match whatever it takes.
The Pumpkin lies in the center of the ring, as Chris Adams drags
him exactly across from the turnbuckle. Chris Williams rolls to the
apron, and then climbs up
to the top rope. He stands up on the turnbuckle, and then holds his
hands up in the air and the flies onto The Pumpkin with a guillotine
leg drop! Chris Adams
tells Williams to go up to the top rope again, as he picks The Pumpkin
up in gorilla press slam position. Chris Williams slow climbs up to the
turnbuckle, but
as he is doing this The Scarecrow climbs up to his feet and runs behind
Chris Adams and clips his knee, causing The Pumpkin to land on Chris
Adams! The
Scarecrow runs to the ropes to knock Chris Williams on the top rope,
and then walks to him. The Scarecrow climbs up to the top rope, and The
Pumpkin follows
him and climbs up to the second rope. The Scarecrow grabs the legs of
Chris Williams and lifts him up in the air, and The Pumpkin grabs
Williams in a front

slowly crawls
to Williams and turns him over and makes the cover. 1-2-Chris Adams
breaks up the cover! The Pumpkin gets up to his feet and clotheslines
Chris Adams out of
the ring, and the two begin to trade blows. The Scarecrow pushes
himself up to his feet, and then lifts up The Energy Chris Williams.
The Scarecrow sets Chris
Williams up for The Implant DDT, but Chris Williams reverses it into a
northern lights suplex!
Cole: What an absurdly acrobatic reversal there by Williams!
King: Yep even more proof as to why in addition to his tag team prowess this man will inevitably go down as out of our greatest Junior-Heavyweights of all-time in XHF.
Chris Williams makes the cover, but The Scarecrow gets a shoulder
up! Chris Williams stands up and pulls The Scarecrows arm into the
middle of the ring.
Williams runs and jumps to the third turnbuckle and goes for The Drop
To Zero but The Scarecrow rolls out of the way, and Chris Williams
lands on his feet! The

then knock each other down with a dropkick! The two lie down on the
mat, as The Pumpkin
throws Chris Adams into the crowd and turns his attention to the ring.
The Dark Mistress climbs up onto the apron and begins arguing with the
referee, as The
Pumpkin slides into the ring, and waits for Chris Williams to climb up
to his feet. When Williams gets up to his feet The Pumpkin comes from
behind and turns
him over going for The Smash, but Williams is able to turn his body
some more and have Pumpkin face him, and then sends him into the mat
with the Downliner!
The Pumpkin rolls out of the ring and Chris Williams climbs up to his
feet; only to walk into a spear by The Scarecrow! Mistress gets off the
apron and The
Scarecrow hooks the leg; 1-2-3!
Winners via Pinfall: The Dark Parade!
*Thereafter both members of the Dark Parade roll out of the ring, Scarecrow and
Dark Mistress holding up The Pumpkin. Chris Adams has just gotten into
the ring, as he
watches his opponents walk to the back, taunting. Adams lifts up his
partner, and the two celebrate head to the back with a nice applause from the audience.*
*The lights dim and the crowd goes silent as the sound of footsteps
begin to overtake the PA System and words begin rolling across the
Xtreme-Tron:
It only takes one
One man to change the course of History
Your Hero Has Arrived
The stage begins to smoke up and the spotlight shines on the
entrance way. The crowd begins to cheer softly as Trapt's "Stand Up"
begins to play
and Kris Quake comes running out onto the stage full of energy. He runs
from one side of the stage to the other playing to the crowd and
cuaseing there cheers
to grow louder and louder before finally stopping back at the top of
the ramp and he begins to walk down the ramp slowly slapping hands with
the fans.
You planted the seed
How my anger has grown
Got an feeling inside that I can't seem to control
You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me down
You've gone as far as I'll go
Now you're crossing the line and I am letting you know
Well here's your reaction.
Kris Quake reaches the ring and leaps up onto the ring apron and
looks around at the crowd that is now cheering loudly as he slowly
reaches down and pulls the
XHF Tag Team Championship from around his waist and raises it in the
air causeing the crowd to cheer even louder. He lets loose a small grin
before he leaps
over the top rope into the ring and spins around with his arms spread
out.
Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will put you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change
Kris Quake stands in the center of the ring looking out at the crowd and nodding he head as the music cuts off.*
Cole: Kris Quake getting to come out first.
King: Wow, you must be reaching, talking about order of entry.
*"All The Small Things" by Blink 182 plays as Minibadboy makes his
way down to the ring on his motorscooter and with his tradition half
gallon of milk in hand
and starts sucking it down like crazy at the top of the ramp as te
crowd goes nuts. Minibadboy whellies down the ramp on scooter and then
slides into the ring.
Calling for more half gallons of milk from he ringside announcer and
suck the down like crazy also,while the crowd goes nuts for one last
time.*
King: I wonder if anyone told him Blink 182 broke up.
Cole: That hardly matters, it's only his entrance music!
*Jet's "Rip it Up" starts pounding out of the PA system as Nelly
Angel comes bursting out of the back. He runs out onto the entranceway
as his
manager Joey Hawke slowly walks behind him. Nelly then runs down the
ramp and slides into the ring, ultra pumped for his match while Joey
Hawke slowly finds
his place at ringside.*
Cole: Don't count out Nelly. He's full of heart.
King: So was Rudy Rutiger and look at how much of a loser he was.
*"All about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy blasts over the P.A.
Obsidian walks out eating nachos. He's wearing an expensive looking
coat and snazzy
sunglasses. GQ comes out behind him, following and strutting. Obsidian
walks down to the ring, still eating the nachos and dropping cheese on
his jacket. He
climbs in the ring and gives a thumbs up to the crowd.*
King: And our beloved nacho eating champion.
Cole: Not too mention the Junior Heavyweight Champion!
Fatal Fourway Ladder Match for the XHF Junior-Heavyweight Championship
Kris Quake vs. Minibadboy vs. Obsidian (c) vs. Nelly Angel
The bell rings as all four competitors look above to see the Junior
Heavyweight Title before looking at one another. There are numerous
ladders surrounding
the ringside area. Kris Quake makes the very first move of this match
as he runs and hits a dropkick on an unsuspecting Nelly Angel. Nelly
falls into the
turnbuckle as Kris starts lighting him up with kicks to the chest. MBB
and Obsidian are already exchanging forearm strikes in the middle of
the ring until
Obsidian uses his power advantage to knock MBB down to the mat.
Obsidian then goes to the corner and helps Kris double team Nelly.
After every Kris kick,
Obsidian chops Nelly. However, it doesn't take too long until MBB is
back up and elbows Kris in the back. Kris stops kicking Nelly as
Obsidian looks
behind to see MBB hit Kris with another elbow, this time in the face.
Cole: Wow, Kris Quake letting his strikes speak.
King: If he keeps this up, he'll win.
However, Obsidian doesn't pay attention to Nelly though as Nelly
kicks Obsidian in the stomach before tossing him into the turnbuckles.
Nelly lights him
up with a few forearm strikes of his own before taking a few steps
back. Yelling out, he runs towards the corner but gets cut off with a
leg lariat from MBB. Nelly smacks the mat as MBB gets back up to his
feet, only to get a chop to the chest from Kris. MBB holds his chest as
Kris follows with another chop. MBB
gets into the ropes but that won't help him in this one as Kris starts
to rapidly chop his chest until MBB falls completely out of the ring
and onto the
floor. Kris doesn't follow but scans the ring, seeing Nelly who quickly
rolls out of the ring. Obsidian does the same as Kris stands alone in
the ring.
King: See, what did I tell you, no one wants to be in the ring with Quake.
Cole: I'm sure he'll get his.
Nelly, MBB and Obsidian all see each other on the outside and all
sprint towards a set up ladder on the floor. Once they reach it, they
being fighting amongst
themselves until Kris springboards and lands on all three of them with
a huge plancha! Kris rolls up to his feet as the crowd begins cheering.
Grabbing the
ladder, he folds it shut and lifts it, heading back towards the ring.
Setting the ladder on the ring apron, Kris turns around to see his
three opponents
getting back up to their feet. Hurrying up, he gets the ladder
completely into the ring and slides in after it. Kris gets back to his
feet and sets the
ladder up underneath the title belt. He starts to climb quickly but
Nelly has found himself on the ring apron and springboards into the
ring, dropkicking the
ladder, forcing it fall over as Kris lands throat first on the ropes.
Kris rolls out of the ring and onto the apron as Obsidian gets in
himself.
Cole: That's a trip to the hospitial.
King: Do we offer health insurance?
Nelly grabs the ladder and sets it back up. Obsidian sees Nelly
start to climb up the ladder so he pulls him off and shoves him away.
Obsidian then begins to
climb himself. Nelly rushes back over and yanks Obsidian off the ladder
and pushes him back. The two start to argue as MBB slides back into the
ring
unnoticed and starts to climb the ladder. Nelly sees it out of the
corner of his eye and points to it. Obsidian doesn't believe him as MBB
inches closer
towards the belt. Nelly keeps on pointing as Kris Quake has come back
into the ring and sees MBB nearing the belt. Kris climbs up the ladder
again and stops
MBB right as he has his hands on the title belt. Kris elbows MBB right
in the face as MBB is barely hanging on the ladder.
King: Uh oh, this could suck.
Cole: I agree.
MBB grabs back onto the ladder with both hands again until Kris
starts to pull him from the other side. Nelly is still trying to tell
Obsidian about whats
going on the ladder but Obsidian still doesn't believe him. Kris has
the arms of MBB butterflied as he takes him off the ladder with a
butterfly suplex! Both men crash on the mat as the crowd gets up to
their feet and cheer. Obsidian finally gives in to Nelly and turns
around, only to see no one on the ladder. Nelly slaps his forehead as
Obsidian says he tried to trick him. Nelly shakes his head no as
Obsidian slaps him in the face. Nelly holds his face as he
staggers back into the ropes. Obsidian then runs towards Nelly, only to
get thrown over the rope. Obsidian splats on the floor as Nelly heads
to the apron.
Jimmy Bower: DANGEROUS!!!!
Cole: Who are you?
King: And what are you doing here?
Once Obsidian is back up to his feet, Nelly grabs the top rope and
springboards off with The Interviewer's Invert to the floor! Once more,
the crowd
cheers as Obsidian holds his head while the back of Nelly's back is
bothering him. Back in the ring, MBB attempts the Badboy Slam but Quake
drops down. MBB turns around to get a kick to the face. As he staggers
around, Kris lifts him on his shoulders and goes for Quake Time. MBB
meets the knee of Kris Quake
as he flops on the mat. Quake looks up at the title and smiles, not
seeing anyone else around again. However, once he climbs the ladder,
Nelly has rolled
back into the ring and gets back up to his feet. Kris jumps off the
ladder, trying to attack Nelly but Nelly catches him in a reverse
atomic drop.
King: I feel like crying for Kris.
Cole: You would. Perv...
Obsidian has slowly gotten into the ring now himself as he uses the
ropes to pull himself up. The crowd starts to give a mixed reaction as
someone is running
out through the crowd. He hops the ringside barrier as we get a look at
the man. It's Johnny Styler! He slides into the ring and hits a
clothesline on
Nelly. From there, he superkicks Obsidian! The crowd boos for the
simple fact that Johnny has interfered in this match on his tag team
partner's behalf! The crowd starts to cheer through as La Parka comes
running down the ramp! La Parka slides into the ring and starts
fighting with Styler as the two take their
brawl to the outside of the ring. La Parka tries to whip Styler but
gets reversed and falls into the crowd.
Cole: WHOA! Who woulda thought Johnny Styler and La Parka would show up.
King: Not me.
As those two quickly disappear into the crowd, MiniBadBoy has
entered the ring again, with a ladder in tow. He sets it up next to the
one that's already
step up in the ring. He starts to climb the ladder he just set up. Once
he gets to the top, he sees all three other wrestlers in this match
still down on the
canvas. Looking at the title, he shakes his head and instead turns his
body around. MBB leaps off the ladder with the Leap of Faith but all
three move out of
the way! MBB connects with nothing as he holds onto his back, in some
extreme pain. He begins to roll out of the ring as the other three
start to get up. Quake, Nelly and Obsidian all rush towards the two
ladders set up.
King: Mini Bad Boy is out.
Cole: And the race is on.
Nelly and Kris climb the same ladder as Obsidian goes up the other
one. Once to the top, all three men start to fight one another. Each
punch gets them
weakened down. Kris is the first one to fall off the ladder as he lands
on his back. This leaves Obsidian and Nelly, up at the top fighting
each other,
knowing that either of them could win this match in a heart beat. Nelly
smashes Obsidian's head against the ladder. Once Obsidian's head bops
back
up, he spews out the CHEESE MIST! Cheese goes all over the face of
Nelly Angel as he lets go of the ladder. Obsidian licks his face clean
as he then reaches
up and rips off the Junior Heavyweight Title. The bell rings as
Obsidian climbs down the ladder with his title in hand.
Winner and STILL XHF Junior-Heavyweight Champion: Obsidian!
Cole: OBSIDIAN PULLED IT OFF!
King: Congrats go to him BIG time for surviving this rather strange ladder match.
*The drums hit, and "My Own Summer (Shove It)" by the Deftones hits the
PA system. The crowd stands on their feet, and the lights go off, as a
spotlight is on the entranceway. Destruction chants begin to break out,
as XHF Hall Of Famer Destruction walks out from the back, water bottle
in hand, with
his head down into the spotlight. Destruction pours the water on his
head, and then shoots his head up, as he begins walking down the ramp
screaming, trying to
pump up the crowd. Destruction pounds his chest, and as he reaches the
bottom of the ramp goes to one side of the railing, and climbs up it,
as he begins to
celebrate with the fans in the arena. Destruction drinks some of his
water and spits it out, as he throws his arms in the air. Destruction
gets down from the
railing, and then goes on the other side of the railing, and climbs up
it also. He celebrates with some more fans, and once again drinks some
of his water, and
spits it out into the crowd. Destruction gets down from the railing and
slides into the ring, where he throws his water bottle into the crowd,
and climbs up
the nearest turnbuckle. Destruction spits his water out into the air
and throws his arms up, letting the water soak his face. Destruction
lowers his head and
looks directly into the camera, and spits water into it. Destruction
gets down from the turnbuckle, and walks back and forth staring at the
entrance, awaiting
his opponent.*
*The lights go completely out, many of the fans have lighters, lazer
pens, etc and now have them on. Suddenly the screen turns on with a sea
of static. The
beginning of "Burn to Burn" by Static-X hits the speakers. The music
takes a pause as nothing but a deep, slow voice is heard reciting the
beginning of the song.
"Static in sound...
Uncurable
You plant the seed...
You feel the need"
A loud and booming scream is heard as pyro goes off at the top of
the ramp, the ball of fire followed by the billowing smoke, and through
it all, out walks
Reeshi. Reeshi is greeted with the cheers from the fans, he takes it
all in. Once down the ramp Reeshi reaches the ring and slides under the
bottom rope. He
walks to the far side and climbs the turnbuckle, raising both arms,
showboating to the fans. Reeshi steps down and stands in the middle of
the ring, looking
out at the estatic fans.*
Grudge Match
Destruction vs. Reeshi
The two legends spend their time circling around the center of the
ring, not taking an eye off of each other. The bell sounds, and neither
man hesitate, as
they get into the center of the ring and begin to trade blows. The
bigger Reeshi gets the early advantage, lifting up a knee and driving
it into
Destruction's stomach. Destruction doesn't fall to his knee though, and
instead sends a right hand into the stomach of Reeshi. Both men back
off of
each other, and then Reeshi attempts a clothesline, which Destruction
ducks. When Reeshi turns around Destruction begins to send right hands,
sending Reeshi to
the ropes. Destruction kicks Reeshi in the stomach and then grabs his
wrist, and then tosses his opponent to the ropes. Destruction bends
over going for a back
body drop, but Reeshi stops in his tracks, and sends a hard forearm to
Destruction's back, sending him down. Reeshi sets Destruction up
between his legs
and taunts for a standing Highway To Hell, but Destruction over powers
Reeshi by lifting him up over his head and slamming him down with a
back body drop.
Reeshi hit's the mat hard, but is able to get up to his feet before
Destruction can stomp on him. When he climbs up to his feet Destruction
runs and
attempts a clothesline, but before he can connect Reeshi lifts him up
and slams Destruction down with a spine buster! Reeshi makes the pin
attempt, but
Destruction kicks out before the count of three. Reeshi lifts up
Destruction's head and sends fists into it, and then brings him up.
Reeshi grabs his
opponent's arm, and then wrenches it, forcing Destruction to his knee.
Destruction is in pain, and Reeshi doesn't help matters by driving an
elbow into
the wrenched arm. Destruction doesn't fall down, instead he begins to
climb up to his feet holding his arm, giving Reeshi an opportunity to
clothesline
Destruction from behind, sending him into the ropes. Destruction
bounces against the ropes, is turned around by Reeshi, and then is
given hard punches in his
stomach for his efforts. Destruction falls to his knees, and begins to
try to get away from Reeshi, but Reeshi runs and gives a hard kick to
the head.
Destruction falls hard to the mat and Reeshi makes the cover, but
Destruction grabs the bottom rope before the referee can make a count.
Reeshi begins to choke
Destruction, which the referee breaks before the count of four. Reeshi
stands up to his feet and throws his arms in the air, being greeted
with massive boos.
Cole: Hmm seems like the crowd isn't responding too favorably thus far to Reeshi's signature arrogance and taunting off toward them.
King: What else is new?
As this is happening, Destruction is using the ropes to pull
himself up. Reeshi turns his attention to Destruction and begins to
walk over towards him, but
while on one knee Destruction begins sending hard chops to the chest of
Reeshi. Three chops later Destruction grabs Reeshi's head and pulls him
down,
driving his jaw into a jawbreaker. Reeshi stumbles backwards and then
forward going for a clothesline, but Destruction moves out of the way
and delivers a boot
to the knee, sending Reeshi down. Destruction runs to the ropes across
from Reeshi and delivers a forearm smash, sending Reeshi to the
outside. Destruction
looks around the arena, as Reeshi begins to climb to his feet on the
outside. Destruction runs towards the ropes and bounces off of it, and
then runs towards
Reeshi, and dives through the middle rope, landing on him!
Cole: Destruction throwing caution to the wind as he puts his body on the line for the mere chance at one last and parting Night of Champions victory!
King: Nothing but pure heart and boundless desire inside that man as always, what a legend indeed!
Destruction slowly climbs up to his feet and in a burst of energy
taunts to the crowd, the arena running rampant because of that move
that he pulled off.
Destruction grabs Reeshi, lifts him up and rolls him into the ring, and
then hooks the leg. The referee begins the count; 1-2-Reeshi kicks out!
Destruction
punches Reeshi in the face a couple of times, and then stands up and
drags him into the corner. Destruction chokes Reeshi with his boot and
then gets off, and
walks to the corner across. Destruction takes a deep breath and runs
full speed at Reeshi going for a running knee, but Reeshi rolls out of
the way causing
Destruction to crash into the corner! Destruction hit his knee hard, as
he begins limping to turn around. Reeshi quickly gets up to his feet
and hooks both of
Destruction's arms, and drives him into the mat with a Pain Killer!
Reeshi makes the cover, 1-2-Destruction kicks out! Reeshi shakes his
head in shame,
staring at the referee. He says something to him, as he grabs
Destruction by the hair and lifts him up. Reeshi grabs Destruction's
wrist and tosses him
sternum first into the turnbuckle, and when Destruction stumbles back
Reeshi lifts Destruction up and drops him into the center of the ring
with a sidewalk
slam. Reeshi gets up to his feet and runs over Destruction and off the
ropes, leaps up in the air, and delivers a brutal leg drop! Reeshi
again makes a pin
attempt; 1-2-Destruction gets a shoulder up. Reeshi lifts Destruction
up, and then applies a dragon sleeper. Reeshi has the move locked in
tight, as
Destruction has his arms wailing around trying to get out. He grabs
Reeshi's arms and tries to get them off of his neck, but Reeshi has the
move locked in
tight. The referee asks Destruction if he quits, but he waves a finger,
and he begins to push himself up. Reeshi, shocked by all of this,
begins to be lifted
up by Destruction, until both are on their feet. Destruction is able to
turn his body, facing Reeshi, but then pulls his head out from under,
gets behind
Reeshi, lifts him up, and drives him into the mat with a Blue Thunder
Driver! Destruction bridges the move, 1-2-Reeshi kicks out! Destruction
gets up to his
feet and looks around, and then taunts to the crowd, and begins to lift
up Reeshi. Destruction sets Reeshi in postion for a suplex and lifts
him up over his
head, and attempts the Countdown to Armageddon, but Reeshi slides
behind Destruction, turns him around, and lifts him up onto his
shoulders. Reeshi walks to
the center of the ring with Destruction on his shoulders, and lifts him
up and slams him into the mat with the Oreeshinator! Reeshi makes the
cover on
Destruction; 1-2-Destruction kicks out!
Cole: My goodness, how in the hell did he manage to kick out out of THAT one?!
King: Pure willpower and killer instinct Cole, that man just NEVER quits unless he's literally unconcious it seems.
Reeshi wastes no time to get up to his feet and grab Destruction,
as he places him between his legs. Reeshi looks around the arena, as he
positions him and
Destruction in the center of the ring. Reeshi shakes his head, and then
hooks one arm of Destruction. Reeshi begins laughing as he hooks
Destruction's
other arm, setting up for the Coral Reesh! Reeshi goes for the move,
but Destruction overpowers Reeshi by unhooking his arms, and bringing
Reeshi onto his back
by pulling his legs out from under him. Destruction holds Reeshi's legs
up, places his own leg in between Reeshi's, crosses them, and turns
around,
applying the Scorpion Death Lock! Reeshi screams in pain, knowing how
deadly this move truly is. Destruction pulls back, but Reeshi shakes
his head, trying to
have the pain push him. Reeshi begins to drag him and Destruction
closer to the ropes, and after a brief moment, he finally grabs the
bottom rope! Destruction
releases the hold and stumbles forward, and begins to stalk Reeshi.
Reeshi grabs the ropes and begins to pull himself up to his feet,
Destruction getting ready
to slam him down into the mat and end this match. Reeshi makes it all
the way up to his feet and turns around and Destruction goes for a kick
in the stomach,
but Reeshi grabs the foot! Destruction tries to get out of if, but
Reeshi shoves Destruction's foot down, lifts Destruction up, and slams
him down with
another Oreeshinator! Reeshi hooks the leg, 1-2-Destruction kicks out
once again! Reeshi doesn't waste time as he grabs Destruction and lifts
him up, but
Destruction shoves a huge elbow into the stomach of Reeshi, bending him
over. Destruction takes the chance; goes for and connects with the Eve
of Destruction!
Destruction makes the cover; 1-2-3!
Winner via Pinfall: Destruction!
Cole: And Des has pulled it off, an unforgettable win for the ages against quite possibly THE greatest World Title holder the XHF world will ever bear witness to!
*Destruction raises his arms in the air, as the referee goes over
and claims Destruction as the winner. Destruction climbs up to his feet
celebrating his
victory, as Reeshi begins sitting up. He's sitting all the way up,
watching Destruction celebrate. Destruction finally turns his attention
to Reeshi, and
lowers his head. Destruction walks over and helps Reeshi up to his
feet, and the two share a hug in the center of the ring. The crowd
cheers, as both Reeshi
and Destruction lift their arms up in the air, celebrating with the
fans. Destruction calls for the microphone, and one is handed to him.*
:destruction: Before this match I wrote some stuff down that I
thought I was going to say after the match…but as you can see, I've
clearly forgotten what it
was.
*Reeshi walks over and grabs the microphone.*
: It might have had something to do with the twelve pack you chugged beforehand.
*The crowd laughs, as Destruction shakes his head and takes back the microphone.*
:destruction: Reeshi and I came out here to have a "grudge" match.
Apparently, some storyline set up how much Reeshi was an asshole and
how much I
took offense, or something like that. I don't even know, and to be
quite honest, I don't think any of you guys care either. We came out here and
we had this
match though, because we all know what this show is. Yes, it is Night of
Champions, the night that everybody dreams of, but it's more than that.
This is the Final
Bow, the last hoorah, the last show…that the XHF will ever have. It's
sad, you know, Reeshi and I, we've been here since the beginning. We've
watched this place develop into the greatest wrestling establishment in
the history of man; we had everything. We had midgets, we had giants,
we had donkeys,
and we had robots. We had great matches, we've had bad ones. Drug
addicts, straight edge superstars. A crazy owner who's idea of fun was
to put all of
his top stars in one big match and try to kill them all, just so he can
entertain all of the fans. The Xtreme Hardcore Federation was made
seven years ago, and
those seven years were maybe the best of everybody's in the back's
life. We WERE wrestling, and even though this is the last show, and you
won't
see your loveable characters like Mongo the Destroyer, or Ken the Box,
or Reeshi, or Kanyon…the memory lives on. The memory will NEVER die,
and at the word
"wrestling" you'll think about the XHF. When the word "entertainment"
is said, the first thing you will think of is the XHF. Most
importantly though, when the phrase "Simply The Best" is spoken…you
will immediately think of the XHF. Thank you, and enjoy the show folks.
*Destruction drops the microphone and his music hits, and he and
Reeshi throw their arms in the air, and begin to start up some XHF
chants. Reeshi and
Destruction hug once again, and as they're walking up the ramp, they
hold each other's arms up in the air, heading to the back.*
If you're listening (woah-oh-ohhh)
Sing it back (woah-oh-ohhh)
*The sound of Jimmy Eat World's "Sweetness" plays around the XHF Arena,
and Rob Arnold runs out on stage. He turns, and Scorpion is close
behind
him. Rob runs to the corner of the stage and shouts to the crowd, who
shout back in cheers.
String from your tether unwinds
Up and outward to find.
Rob turns to Scorpion, who seems to stare around him, unsure of his
surroundings. Rob trots over to him and stares in his eyes, he places
his hands on his
shoulders and tells him to focus, before pointing to the ring and
saying something else. Scorpion smiles somewhat certainly and nods, and
they start to walk to
the ring.
I was spinning free (woah-oh-ohhh)
With a little sweet and simple numbing me
Rob stands half way down the ramp and stops, with Scorpion behind
him, He pulls his coat back a little to show off the European Title,
before raising his arms
in the air, causing a white column of pyro up behind him. This causes
Scorpion to jump a little, before they move towards the ring.
Are you Listening? (woah-oh-ohhhh)
Sing it back! (woah-oh-ohhhh)
The climb into the ring, and Take off their coats, Rob removes his
title from his waist and moves to the nearest turnbuckle, raising it
high with one hand and
again shouting to the crowd. He drops down, and they head to their
corner, ready to begin.*
*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.*

Rob Arnold © and Scorpion vs. Congo the Destroyer and Joey Hawke
Both teams talk to each other in their respective corners, and the bell
sounds, as Congo and Rob Arnold start the match. Rob Arnold tells Congo
to face him
face to face, but Congo just sands in his corner, staring at the
smaller Rob Arnold. Arnold walks up to Congo and forearms him into the
chest, but Congo
doesn't budge, and Arnold sends another one, and still, Congo doesn't
budge. Rob Arnold goes for another forearm, but Congo catches his arm,
and just
shoves Rob Arnold down to the mat. Rob rolls to his feet and stands up,
looking at Congo who's laughing with his partner Joey Hawke. Congo
walks forward
and goes to grab Arnold, bur Arnold rolls under and runs to the ropes
behind Congo and forearms him in the back. Congo doesn't fall down
though, and
instead runs after Rob Arnold around the ring. The faster Arnold
bounces off the ropes and dropkicks Congo in the knee, sending him
down. Congo begins to climb
up to his feet, and while he's climbing up Arnold takes the opportunity
to send hard kicks into the body of Congo, but Congo gets up and shoves
Arnold back
finally climbing up to his feet. Rob Arnold continues running and
smashing into Congo with forearm shots. Rob Arnold runs into the ropes
and leaps up looking
to knock down Congo, but Congo catches him! Congo holds Rob Arnold up
and then tosses him up onto his shoulders, and attempts the Xtreme
Revolution! When Rob
Arnold is flipped forward though he lands on his feet and again
attempts to run towards the ropes, but Congo grabs him by the hair and
pulls him down, slamming
him into the mat! Congo makes the pin, but Arnold kicks out before the
count of three. Congo grabs Arnold and sends a huge chop into his
chest, causing Arnold
to stumble back. Arnold holds his chest but Congo spreads his arms and
hits another hard chest, this time sending Arnold down. Congo goes for
the pin attempt,
but Arnold kicks out before a count is made. Congo grabs Rob Arnold and
lifts him up, to see Joey Hawke jumping up and down in his corner.
Hawke holds his hand
out, demanding Congo to tag him in! Congo looks around, and then tags
in Joey Hawke!
Cole: Well this should be...interesting....
King: Don't underestimate Joey though Cole, he may be no spring chicken but any means but he's still a bad mofo when desparate times call for desparate measures!
Cole: "Desparate" being the key word however King...
Congo holds Rob Arnold in place as Hawke gets into the ring, and
Congo begins screaming at him "JUST LIKE WE PRACTICED!" Joey Hawke nods
his head as
he jumps up, and falls on his back attempting a dropkick!
Cole: Bahahaha, looks like Joey is experiencing some rather unfortunate back problems right about now...
King: And at the worst possible time too, Congo needs backup badly at this point!
Joey Hawke lays on his back trying to get up, as Congo sends a hard
punch into the head of Arnold, sending him down into the mat. Congo
grabs Joey Hawke, and
with one hand lifts him up and throws him down onto Rob Arnold! The
referee starts the count, 1-2-Arnold kicks out! Rob Arnold rolls to his
stomach and begins
crawling to his corner, as Joey Hawke stands up, not sure what to do.
He turns to Congo, and Congo just tells him to watch out, as Rob Arnold
has just tagged
in the XHF Legend Scorpion!
Cole: And business is REALLY about to pick up now that this man is in on the action at last!
Scorpion slowly climbs into the ring, and he stares at Joey Hawke.
Hawke seems to have grown a set, as he stands up straight and begins
stomping up to face
Scorpion in the face. Joey begins screaming at Scorpion, who just seems
to be staring straight at Congo. Scorpion shoves Joey Hawke out of the
way and walks
forward to Congo, which seems to have been a bad news, as Joey Hawke
leaps onto Scorpion's back! Hawke begins scratching Scorpion's face, as
Scorpion
tries to take him off his back. Scorpion finally grabs Hawke by the
neck, and flips him onto his back! Joey Hawke is in deep pain and
climbs up to his feet, to
be knocked down with a clothesline by Scorpion! Joey Hawke looks dead
on the mat and Scorpion makes the pin, 1-2-Congo breaks up the pin
attempt! He begins to
argue with the referee who orders him to get back to his corner as
Scorpion gets up, and watches the two argue. Scorpion sticks out his
tongue at Congo, but is
suddenly sent down to his knees with a low blow from Joey Hawke!
Cole: Hawke already resorting to low blows to account for his own lack of size in the ring it seems...
King: Bah lay off him Cole, through hook or crook sometimes you gotta do whatever it takes to come out on top!
Scorpion falls to his knees and Hawke runs over to his corner and
tags in Congo, who slowly walks in, stalking Scorpion. Scorpion slowly
climbs up to his feet,
only to be knocked back down with a big boot! Congo makes the pin
attempt, but Rob Arnold breaks it up before the count of three. Arnold
sends a hard first
into the head of Congo, causing Congo to grab Arnold and slam him into
the corner! Both he and Arnold continue to trade punches, as the
referee tries to break
them up. Scorpion is slowly climbing up to his feet as he turns his
attention to Joey Hawke. Scorpion is sitting down in the center of the
ring looking at
Hawke, who is reaching for something in his pocket. After a few
moments, Joey Hawke pulls out Scorpion's old time friend Wormie!
Scorpion is in total
disbelief as he stands up on his feet so happy to see his former
friend. Hawke drops Wormie to the floor, and as Scorpion goes to pick
up his friend, Joey
Hawke steps on him!
Cole: Oh c'mon now, that's just completely unneccessary and downright cruel by Joey!
King: And yet that's why Joey Hawke is the friggin' man at the same time, GO JOEY!
Joey Hawke just continues to stomp on the (now) dead Wormie,
leaving Scorpion shocked and heartbroken. Rob Arnold and Congo continue
to fight, as Rob Arnold
sends Congo into his corner, unintentionally tagging in Joey Hawke. Rob
Arnold runs towards Congo and leaps up, sending both men to the
outside! Joey Hawke
gets into the ring and begins screaming at Scorpion, who is standing in
the ring, staring down at his dead friend. Scorpion closes his eyes and
shakes his
head, before slowly lifting it up, and smiling at Joey Hawke. Scorpion
screams in Hawke's face "I'M BACK BABY, WOO!" and begins driving hard
fists into Hawke's face! Scorpion grabs Hawke and tosses him into the
ropes, and lifts Joey Hawke up and slams him down with the Xtreme
Neckbreaker! Congo
knocks Rob Arnold down in the outside and slides into the ring, ready
to attack Scorpion, but Scorpion ducks under a hard clothesline
attempt. When Congo turns
around Scorpion goes to lift him up for the Xtreme Neckbreaker, but the
surprisingly agile Congo gets behind Scorpion and grabs him by the
waist. Congo goes to
lift Scorpion up to his feet, but Scorpion powers himself down and
delivers hard elbows into Congo's head, forcing him to break the hold.
Scorpion turns
around and Congo goes for a quick super kick, but Scorpion catches the
foot, and trips Congo down to his back. Now that Congo is in position,
Scorpion crosses
the leg, and applies the Scorpion Lock! Congo taps out immediately,
even though he's no the legal man. Scorpion knows this and pulls back,
inflicting more
pain on the son of the owner. Joey Hawke gets up and rakes the eyes of
Scorpion, forcing him off, as Rob Arnold gets into the ring. Joey Hawke
turns around to
attack Rob Arnold, but Arnold leaps up and hit's the London
Underground! Hawke bounces to his feet, where Scorpion grabs him and
tosses him into the
corner. Scorpion runs towards him, and hit's the Scorpion Splash! Joey
Hawke stumbles forward, which allows Rob Arnold to hit the Lancaster
Bombo,
completing the tag team move the Scorpion Bomber! Joey Hawke hits the
mat face first, but bounces up to his feet, right into the Scorpion
Plex! Scorpion
bridges the move, 1-2-3!
Winner via Pinfall and the NEW/Final XHF European Champion: SCORPION!
Cole: And Scorpion has pulled off the previously unthinkable beforehand, he's become XHF's final European Champ and of equal importance the first individual to ever retire two separate belts in XHF as it were!
King: Yeah I'd forgotten about that North American Title win over Martyr a while back too but good point Cole.
*Afterward Scorpion climbs up to his feet, as his partner Rob Arnold slides to
the outside. Scorpion is throwing his fists in the air, as Congo pulls
Joey Hawke out of
the ring, and Arnold grabs the European Championship. Arnold slides
into the ring, and when Scorpion turns around, Arnold falls to his
knees. Arnold kisses the
championship belt, but then bows down, showing his respect to Scorpion.
The music stops, as Scorpion stands in the center of the ring and looks
around, slowly
realizing that everybody in the arena, including Congo the Destroyer,
is giving him a standing ovation. Scorpion is obviously getting choked
up, as
"SCORPION" chants begin in the crowd. Out from the back Reeshi, Mongo
the Destroyer, and Destruction all emerge from the back, applauding
their
friend. Scorpion finally picks up the title and help Rob Arnold to his
feet, who almost instantly gives Scorpion a hug. The two exchange words
while Congo gets
into the ring, and then both he and Scorpion share a hug. Mongo,
Reeshi, and Destruction get into the ring, watching Scorpion hold his
European Championship.
The Scorpion chants are still going on; they're so loud that even the
voice of the commentators can't be heard. Scorpion hugs all three men
who came to
the ring, and when he's done he looks back, to see Rob Arnold, Congo,
Mongo, Reeshi, and Destruction are still giving him a standing ovation.
Scorpion is
choked up, the paint running beginning to fade from the tears coming
down for his eyes. The true XHF Legend climbs up to the turnbuckle and
holds his arms in
the air, getting a even bigger reaction. Scorpion goes to each corner
and climbs up, celebrating with the crowd. The XHF Arena is shaking,
Scorpion Chants
rocking the foundation of the XHF. Slowly other wrestlers of the XHF
come out, showing their respects to the biggest superstar in XHF
history. Scorpion is too
emotional to climb up the final turnbuckle, but finally musters up
strength and climbs up, holding his championship in the air, screaming
out pure emotion,
leading to a even bigger cheer than before. As he's up there
Destruction and Reeshi grab him and set him on their shoulders, as the
other men in the ring
follow. Scorpion holds his belt in the air, crying his heart out.
Destruction starts up the Scorpion chants again, as they help Scorpion
out of the ring, and
on his way to the back, where Scorpion makes an effort to shake the
hand of every fan and wrestler that came out. Scorpion is out there for
a while, allowing
all the wrestlers to go to the back. Scorpion stands on the top of the
ramp, and looks around the arena. He holds his fist up, and sends a
kiss to the crowd,
before finally heading to the back.*
*As the fans wait in anticipation, "Eye of The Tiger"
now 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 Boyhood Dream" as he jogs on the spot, as "Eye
of The Tiger" enters the chorus.*
"It's the,
Eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge
Of our rivals"
*Doc
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 then calls for the microphone.*
Cole: What does Doc want?
King: I he probably has a few words to Mongo for making this unsanctioned.
:doc So I guess Mongo, our WONDERFUL leader...
*He rolls his eyes.*
:doc ...doesn’t want Rat and I in his ring at the same time this evening. Heck, I
don’t think he even wants us in his ring period! Rat Bastard may be a
worthless individual, but like me, he at least had some balls to say
what he wanted, and Mongo couldn’t deal with that just like he couldn’t
deal with the "Boyhood Dream." But tonight, we’re gonna show him that
we can put on the best match of the whole damn show! Mongo, we’re gonna
wrestle in your ring, we’re gonna wrestle in your building, and we’re
gonna wrestle in your goddamn state!
*The lights in the area go out and red glow comes from the ramp as
Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones begins to play through the
speakers. As the words come through, the light gets darker.
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
*Shadows mix in with the red glow now.*
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
*Rat Bastard steps through the curtain, a cocky smug look upon his face, with a tooth pick handing from his mouth.*
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
*Rat takes a deep breath in and runs his hands through his greasy black hair.*
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
*Rat begins his stalk to the ring, shooting dirty looks of disgust out at the fans.*
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
*Rat
climbs the stairs the ring, slowly climbing inside he begins to point
toward the mat, lipping to the fans that he owns this place.*
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
King: Oh my god, this is probably Rat’s last match!
Cole: In the XHF anyway...
"Unsanctioned" No Disqualification Match
"The Boyhood Dream" Doc vs. Rat Bastard
*Rat and Doc look at each other as Doc goes to say
something, before he does though, Rat yells, quite clearly "SHUT THE
FUCK UP AND WRESLTE!" Doc sneers and throw the microphone down. The two
circle around the ring and wait to tie up. They do, Rat, the stronger
of the two, whips Doc to the ropes, Doc bounces off and when he reaches
Rat he jumps up and hits a flying elbow to Rat, who stumbles back. Doc
then quickly moves behind the slightly stunned Rat and drops him with a
neckbreaker!*
Cole: And Doc is showing that even if unsanctioned they’re gonna wrestle.
King: Where’s the ref?
Cole: There isn’t one, it’s a No DQ unsanctioned match! Why would there be an XHF ref in a match that the XHF doesn’t sanction?
King: Well how’s it gonna end!?
Cole: Hmm....that’s a very good question.
*Doc takes this break to go up to the top rope and call out to the
crowd, who cheer him on. But Rat has hardly been damaged and nips up,
he then walks over to Doc, who’s not paying attention and yanks him
down off the turnbuckle. Doc lands on his feet, only to be knocked off
of them by a very forceful lariat. Rat smiles and runs a hand through
his hair. He then pulls Doc up, only to toss him to the outside. Rat
then follows.*
Cole: What’s going on here?
*Rat gets out of the ring, both men are in front of the entrance.
Doc gets up and the two start trading blows. After a particularly hard
punch from Doc, Rat falls over and rolls under the ring. Doc looks at
his hand, not thinking he had hit Rat quite that hard. He goes to look
for Rat. He bends over and lifts up the ring apron- STRAIGHT INTO A
FACE SHOT! Rat has pushed the top of a ladder into Doc’s face! Doc goes
backwards, falling onto his ass, taking concern to his face. Rat comes
out with a folded up steel chair. As Doc is getting up, Rat swings the
chair with full force at Doc’s face!*
Cole: No! He can’t!
King: Who’s gonna stop him!?
*But Doc rolls out of the way at the last minute, jumps up and
superkicks the chair! However, Rat moved just in time as well, and the
chair goes flying out of his hand. Rat looks at that, then the fully
charged Doc, who’s waving him on. Rat shakes his head, flips off Doc
and starts walking up the ramp.*
King: Rat doesn’t need to put up with this shit.
*As he walks up the ramp, Doc, to the cheers of the fans, runs at
him! But as Doc reaches Rat, Rat turns around and delivers a spine
buster onto the steel ramp! Rat looks down at Doc and says something as
he points to the Xtreme-Tron, then his head. He then starts laying
kicks into Doc and screaming about how smart he is. Rat then picks Doc
up by his hair and starts walking him up the ramp. But before Doc gets
a chance to really come to, Rat trips him, and pushes his head down
into the ramp again. Rat again pulls Doc up and continue pulling him up
the ramp. He leads him up to the entranceway, and hits a DDT on Doc,
again putting the "Boyhood Dream’s" head into the steel floor. He picks
up Doc again, and bashes his head into the entranceway a few times,
just to make sure his opponent can’t see, or think clearly.*
Cole: And Rat has taken a real advantage during this match.
*Rat then continues to walk Doc into the back as a camera follows.
Various XHF stars of the past and now watch as Rat leads Doc around the
back, they pass a popcorn vendor as they walk, and moments later, Doc
suddenly tosses something up into Rat’s face! Rat lets go and backs
off, holding his face as it’s turning red. Doc stands up and holds up a
salt shaker, then points to his head. Rat’s stumbling around as Doc
kicks him in his gut. Rat bends over and Doc pulls him into a
piledriver, this time sending Rat’s head into the cement.*
Cole: And Doc show’s he’s no slouch too!
*Doc happens to look over momentarily and sees Rage talking to
Torrie Wilson nearby. He’s explaining to her how he’s going to bring
the pain in the X*Crown match tonight using his tire iron, which he
happens to be brandishing at this time. Doc sees this, and finding it a
good time to stick it to rage and get a weapon, he rips the tire iron
out of the surprised Rage’s hand. Rage looks pissed off, but Torrie
holds him back. Doc then turns around and clocks a rising Rat with it!
Rat goes down immediately! Doc throws down the tire iron and starts
dragging Rat towards the doors to the XHF HQ.*
Cole: They’re heading into the office building!
King: That’s not a place to have a match!
*Doc throws open the doors and pulls Rat through. They enter into
the lobby, which is empty due to the show going on, but the lights are
on anyway. Doc walks Rat over to a nice table and starts beating his
head on it. After a few shots, Rat is able to elbow Doc in the balls!*
Cole and King: OOF!
*Doc stumbles back and Rat grabs the expensive vase on the table and
bashes it over Doc’s head! Doc falls over a near by couch as Rat
surveys the area. He sees the XHF Logo statue in the center of the
lobby and smiles. Rat picks up Doc and whips him into the statue. Doc
falls forward and Rat is on him. He picks up Doc as though he were
going for a powerslam, but just runs into the statue! The force of the
collision knocks it onto the floor where is breaks into many pieces!*
Cole: Oh god, the property damage is gonna be in the thousands....isn’t it?
King: At least.
*Rat just right out drops Doc, who crumples up on the floor. Rat
then smiles and picks up Doc by his hair and his rights, he then runs
Doc’s head through the help desk’s front! Doc isn’t moving as his head
is stuck inside the desk. Rat then leaves him then and walks over to
the elevators. He looks around and eventually finds the one he wants.
He presses the up button and waits for the elevator to come. He looks
at the clock on the wall. Taps his foot, waits, waits. Nothing is
happening. Nothing until.....COFFEE MUG TO THE HEAD! The mug shatters
at the door of the elevator opens and Rat stumbles in, Doc, who was
holding the mug follows into the elevator car. The doors shut and Doc
presses a button on it.*
Cole: Where are they going!?
*The camera switches to a security cam inside the car. As it moves
Doc bangs Rat’s head into the metal walls of the elevator car. He’s
cursing at Rat and whatnot. Then without warning, the doors open and
Doc looks to leave as Rat looks up from the floor. They both see Bongo
standing there with a milkshake.*
:bongo Is this a bad time?
:doc Yeah, sort of.
:bongo Oh, ok, I’ll catch the next car.
*The door then closes. Doc turns his attention back to Rat, but this
interlude has given Rat enough time to recover, he gives Doc an
eye-rake. As Doc holds his face, Rat gets up, then delivers a belly to
bell suplex inside the elevator car, which means that Doc gets launched
into the metal wall! As he crumples up onto the floor, the door opens
and Rat walks off nonchalantly and dusts himself off. He’s on the top
floor of the office building, in Mongo’s big glass hallway. He’s
standing amongst the pictures in the "Hall of Champions." Rat walks
over to the picture of himself and looks into it like he’s looking into
a mirror. He starts picking his teeth, presumably trying to get a piece
of food that’s in it in the picture out of his mouth now. Oddly, he
finds said piece of food. And then has a picture come crashing down on
his head! Rat looks around to see Doc being the culpret of the attack
by portrait. Rat is now wearing Mongo’s latest title reign around his
neck.*
King: Mongo is not going to be happy about this.
*Rat sneers and grabs Mongo’s second reign off of the glass wall and
smashes it over Doc’s head! They look at each other and smile. The
smiles quickly fade as they rip off the paintings and start hammering
on each other again. Doc lands a knee to the gut of Rat, Rat doubles
over and Doc hits a scoop slam. With Rat down, Doc walks over to Rat’s
portrait, compares the picture to the man, then takes it off of the
wall, breaks it over his knee, doubles it over, and starts hitting rat
with it! Rat seems to be trying to edge his way further down the
hallway away from Doc, but Doc is keeping up. Finally Rat is able to
get in just the right position to hit a drop toe hold, Doc falls over
and hits his head on Bonnie Jenkin’s desk! Rat gets up and takes
Mongo’s first reign’s picture off of the wall and waits for Doc to get
up. Slowly Doc gets up and is then nailed in the face with the
portrait! He stumbles back into the desk, holding himself up, the
picture is ruined and Rat throws it to the side, then picks up Doc hits
him with a Bastard Bomb through onto Bonnie Jenkin’s desk, totally
putting him through her computer!*
King: Cole, are you keeping track of the property damage here?
Cole: I don’t even wanna try. I wonder if Mongo is watching this.
King: If he is, he certainly can’t be happy.
*Rat picks Doc up and leads him over to the doors to Mongo’s big
glass office. He holds Doc still as he opens one of the doors into his
face! Rat then moves Doc into the office. He picks up Doc and gives him
a suplex THROUGH MONGO’S LEATHER COUCH! Doc’s out of it as Rat walks
over to Mongo’s desk and picks up Mongo’s computer monitor. He lifts it
high over his head to drop it onto Doc’s, but is met with a kick to the
midsection that pushes him back and causes him to drop the monitor,
which breaks. Rat stumbles back into Mongo’s bookshelf, knocking a ton
of books onto him. While he’s getting booked, Doc gets up and goes to
grab Mongo’s keyboard. He gets it and swings it straight into Rat’s
face. Rat wanders backwards into Mongo’s file cabinet and grabs onto
one of the drawers to hold himself up. His head isn’t all there though
as he falls forward, the drawer comes out, but is still enough to hold
Rat up.....until Doc pushes the whole file cabinet over onto Rat!*
Cole: They're completely trashing Mongo’s office!
King: Oh no!
*Rat falls under the weight of the cabinet as Doc grabs Mongo’s
phone and uses the cord to strangle Rat. After a bit of this he gets up
and looks over at Mongo’s desk. Doc smiles and nods to himself. He
pulls Rat out from under the cabinet and suplexes him onto Mongo’s
desk! But Doc seems disappointed; he wanted the desk to break. So, he
stands on Mongo’s desk chair and jumps off with a rather low elbow
drop! The weight of the two men is enough to destroy the expensive desk
which falls apart under them. Doc gets up and nods in satisfaction. He
then pulls Rat up and leads him out of Mongo’s office and back towards
the elevator. Before they get their though, Rat is able to trip Doc
like he had earlier on the entrance ramp and Doc goes face first into
the metal doors. Rat then presses the down button and the doors open.
He stumbles into the elevator and pulls in Doc as well. By now both men
have taken a ton of shots to the head and Rat is getting dizzy, he
presses a button in the elevator and it starts moving. Rat gets a head
rush and stumbles over onto Doc. The door opens moments later and both
men start to crawl out of the elevator.*
King: Where are they now?!
*As they crawl out, they start to slowly get up. And again, they
start trading blows. After getting fully to their feet, Rat bashes
Doc’s head into the wall, leaving an imprint! Doc then does the same to
Rat right next to it! The two trade head-shots all the way down the
hallway! They reach a door and Doc is able to push Rat’s head down
further into the door knob, the metal knob is enough to knock Rat batty
as he stumbles backwards and finds his ground by hitting a window
behind him. Doc sees Rat standing in front of the window and smiles to
himself. He then stamps his foot down a few times before hitting Rat
with the Genocide Kick! The force sends Rat Bastard through and out the
window!*
Cole: OH MY GOD!
*....luckily, right outside the window is the roof of the XHF Arena.
Rat doesn’t even fall a full story, but the force of the kick is enough
to knock him out. Doc follows him out and begins to lay fists into Rat.
The two are out on the roof, in the open air of the Minneapolis
skyline. The camera does not follow them out the window and instead
just looks out it. Doc sees the door to the stairs that lead back down
into the arena.*
King: They’re on the roof!
*Doc starts leading Rat over to the door, they get to it. Doc goes
to turn the knob, but there’s a hand already there! Doc looks down to
see it’s Rat’s, he then looks over to Rat’s face, which is near to the
ground as he’s barely able to hold himself up. Even so, Rat is smiling.
BAM! Rat opens the door into Doc’s face. Doc stumbles around as Rat
gets up, and pushes Doc into, and possibly down the stairwell!.*
Cole: Where’s the camera!? We need to see what’s going on!
King: Gosh darn it, where’s our cameraman! GO THROUGH THE WINDOW YOU WIMP!
*There’s a long pause*
Cole: Wait, what’s that!?
King: Is that them on the Night of Champion’s set?
*Everyone looks to the top of the set as the Xtreme-Tron shows a
zoomed in picture. It is Doc and Rat! The two are hardly able to stand,
yet are duking it out anyway! Rat pulls Doc in and hits a fall away
slam! With Doc down Rat turns to the camera and starts yelling.*
Rat: YOU WANT FUCKING VIOLENCE ON YOUR SHOW MONGO!? YOU WANT FUCKING
VIOLENCE! I’LL GIVE YOU YOUR FUCKING VIOLENCE! AND WITH YOUR OWN MOVE
TOO!
*Rat pulls Doc up, then picks him up for the Xtreme Edge! He walks
over to the edge of the set, looks down, shakes his head, AND JUMPS
OFF! In midair, Rat goes to flip Doc down, but they flip over together
and both come crashing down on the steel of the entrance! Doc landing
on Rat!*
Cole: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!
King: OH MY FUCKING GOD!
*Doc, without even thinking, rolls off of Rat, who’s coughing up
blood and having seizures. Paramedics rush to Rat’s age as Doc slowly
pulls himself up using the entranceway to keep his balance. He looks at
Rat, realizing that Rat is no longer able to compete he raises his arm
in victory!*
Apparent Overall Winner: Doc!
Cole: DOC IS ALIVE!
King: Technically Rat is too!
Cole: But for how long!?
*Doc then helplessly passes out next to Rat as more medics have to
attend to him as well and we cut out to a brief break before the next
scheduled match.*
1, 2, 3, 4!!!
*"Survival of the Sickest" by Saliva starts blasting over the PA system. Pyros are going off on the stage all over the place.
"I'm a hand up mona lisa's dress
I'm a smile on every criminal you'll ever acquit,
I'm the things you've done you'd never admit
Cause one hand is on the bible and the other's in s***."
"But right now, your faceless in the crowd
I'm shouting out loud
The one you counted out of the game
Oh wow!
Take a good look at me now
Should have never had a doubt
Is that you I hear screamin' my name?"
Joe Everyman then comes out onto the stage. He looks into the crowd,
holding his arm up with belt in hand. Maria Williams walks out from
behind Joe and looks
into the crowd too. Joe gives Maria a kiss on the cheek as they both
start to walk down the ramp.
"I'm a roller
I'm a rider
I'm number one mother****ing survivor"
"So move over
I'm a driver
And I'm high and i'm keep gettin higher"
"Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!"
Joe Everyman and Maria Williams continue walking down the ramp
looking into the crowd. Joe then comes to the end of the ramp and does
a Brock Lesnar-esque jump.
"I'm the one you thought that you could erase
But a predator that's faster than the food that it chased,
You fall off the horse you brought to the race
I'll be the one who's flyin' by ya kickin' s*** in your face."
"And right now, your faceless in the crowd
I'm shouting out loud
The one you counted out of the game
Oh wow!
Take a good look at me now
Should have never had a doubt
Is that you I hear screamin' my name?"
Joe Everyman walks up the steps and climbs into the ring. He looks
around in the crowd and hold up his arm. Then loud blue pyros shoot
from the ring posts. Joe
then stands and waits.
"I'm a roller
I'm a rider
A number one mother****ing survivor"
"So move over
I'm the driver
And I'm high and I'm gonna keep gettin higher"
"Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!"
Cole: Well here he comes, the guy who blatently spat on XHF and everything it stands for!
*The lights go out completley for a brief second before
pyros explode along with the sound of the guitars and drums as
Killswitch Engage's
cover of "Holy Diver" blasts out of the sound system. The crowd go wild
as the former XHF and nCw World Champion steps out onto the stage. His
arms
stretched out at his sides, fists balled.
"Hmmmmhmmmm
Yeah Yeah!"
On the pitch harmonic Spike thrusts his arms into his chest to form
an "X" across his chest, just above the world title around his waist.
As the song
kicks in and he begins to walk to the ring, slapping the fans hands.
"Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me"
Spike rolls into the ring and quickly climbs up onto the
turnbuckle, arms outstretched and then into the "X" once more. The
crowd scream wildly
again.
"Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean"
Spike drops off the turnbuckle and runs to the opposite turnbuckle, climbing up and raising his arms.
"Gotta get away
Holy Diver!"
Spike drops back down as the music and lights begin to fade to normal.*
King: Ironically, here's the guy who did spit in our face but is here defending our honour and paying his respects!
Hardcore Rules Match
Joe Everyman vs. Spike Kane
The bell rings and the two men explode, charging each other down and
into a lock up. Spike hooks Everyman's head just as Everyman grabs
Spike's. The
two push and pull before a test of strength begins. Spike gains the
advantage and forces Everyman into the turnbuckle. The ref forces Spike
to break it off and
he does so. Spike backs off and taunts Everyman, telling him to "bring
it" Everyman charges Spike, and Spike steps back a little before
dropping
Everyman with an armbar takedown. Spike locks in the hold and Everyman
reaches out for the ropes. Spike wrenches the arm just before Everyman
reaches the
ropes. The ref counts for Spike to break the
hold...1......2.....3...-Spike breaks the hold and backs off.
Cole: Well Spike's being a nice guy and playing by the rules.
King: I think he's just trying to show Joe that he can wrestle too before we get hardcore.
Everyman gets to his feet and charges at Spike again. He raises an
arm for a clothesline but Spike ducks, however Everyman stopped right
in front of Spike. Joe
hooks Spike's head and plants him with a DDT. Everyman nips up to his
feet and grabs the ropes, jumping up and springboarding back with an
elbow drop to
Spike. Joe makes the quick cover.
1...
...2..-kickout.
Spike shrugs Everyman off, and Joe gets to his feet, stomping at Spike as he slowly gets up.
Cole: He's putting the boots to him!
King: Oh christ, stop acting like JR already..
Joe grabs Spike as he gets to his feet and whips him off the ropes. On
the rebound Joe comes off with a huge dropkick sending Spike to the
mat. Joe rolls to
his knees as Spike slowly gets to his feet. Joe bounces off the ropes
and goes for a shining wizard as Spike is on his knees but Spike rises
up and nails a
thunderous clothesline on Joe Everyman almost beheading him in the
process. The crowd roar with delight as Spike rises to his feet. Joe
clutches as his head.
Cole: Holy moly he almost took Joe's head off!
King: Moly?
Spike drags Everyman to his feet but Joe delivers a swift punch to
the gut, followed by another, and another. Joe then runs off the ropes
and goes for a
clothesline, but Spike swings around and hooks the other arm with his
legs rolling Joe up in a crucifix pin. The ref counts...
....1....
.......2...
..-kickout.
Joe slams the mat furiously and gets to his feet, taking Spike over
with a headlock takeover. Spike flops and Joe jumps over him bouncing
off the ropes and
snapping back with a front dropkick to the face of Spike Kane. Joe then
drops to his back and rolls out of the ring, lifting up the apron and
looking under the
ring itself.
Cole: I wonder if he's getting a weap-oh forget it...we all know he's getting weapons. Why do I even bother?
King: I wonder why you bother sometimes too.
Joe begins to throw weapons up onto the ring. A steel chair, a 2 x
4, a trash can, another steel chair, a kendo stick, and finally he
pulls out a table. He
sets it up near the security barrier. Joe shouts something at the fans.
As he turns around he spots Spike Kane launching himself off the ropes
with a
springboard flip, catching Joe and sending them both through the table
that Joe had just set up.
Cole: Oh my god!
King: Damn, how the hell did he do that!?
The two begin to crawl to the apron and climb into the ring and to
their feet. Spike flinches but so does Joe. Joe does the same, but
Spike flinches right
back. The two's faces are shown as fire is in their eyes. Joe carefully
goes forward and so does Spike. Both of them meet in the middle of the
ring as they
look deep into the eyes of one another, showing off to the crowd,
lipping and most possibly swearing to each other, but all of a
sudden...WHACK! Joe slaps
Spike hard right in the face as he gets a reaction from the crowd.
Spike, head down, feels his cheek before coming back with a hard slap
of his own right into
the face of Joe as the crowd cheers for Spike. This is when all hell
breaks loose and Joe tackles down Spike as the two men start to brawl
hardcore at each
other, with lefts and rights, Spike flipping over on top of Joe
clubbing the face of him as he gets up and screams for Joe to get
up. Once he does,
Spike comes full force and tries for a lariat, but Joe ducks as
Spike bounces off the ropes and gets kicked in the gut by Joe who hooks
his arms going for a
vertical suplex, but Spike flips Joe over and goes for the pin.
ONE...TWO...KICKOUT! Both men stand up and stand off to an ovation from
the crowd.
Cole: Damn, what a fight to kick things off here in this match.
King: Agreed.
Both men are circling the ring now as they wait for who is going to
throw the first punch again to each other. Spike goes for it but Joe
ducks and clubs his
back attempting a german suplex but Spike ends up grabbing the neck
slamming Joe down with a cutter as he slingshots off the middle rope
nailing a leg drop
going for the cover. ONE...T--kickout easily as Joe throws him off and
gets up, running towards Spike who drops and goes to the outside
pointing to his head,
talking to Joe. Joe then gets a light bulb as he runs away from Spike,
bouncing off the ropes and attempts for a suicide dive, but Spike is
one step ahead of
him who jumps on the apron. But Joe is one step ahead of Spike's one
step as he slides under Spike's feet and lands on the outside grabbing
Spike's
feet from behind, dropping them to the floor below as Spike's head
meets the apron. Joe takes Spike and starts repeating the head slam
right on to the
apron as the fans count along with him. He breaks it off at ten and
runs charging with a knee to the gut of Spike as he falls to the floor.
Joe, seeing this,
gives the middle finger to the crowd before charging at Spike who's set
up near the steel steps. Joe comes charging and Spike moves at the last
second
causing Joe to collide with the steel steps.
Cole: Man, Spike's really punishing Everyman.
King: He's educating him Cole.
Spike gets up slowly as a trickle of blood goes down his nose as he
picks up a steel chair from the timekeeper's table and screams for Joe
to get up. Once
he does, he attempts to swing it at him...Joe though grabs the chair
from Spike, kicking him in the gut and slamming the chair right onto
the back of Spike as
he starts screaming in pain. Joe shuts him up then by throwing the
chair, Sabu style at Spike as a loud smack! echoes throughout the
stadium. Spike falls to
the floor below and Joe goes and picks up Spike, yelling to the fans
behind the security wall to move out of the way as a few people do so.
Joe then grabs
Spike and launches him over the wall as Spike goes flying right into
about 10 seated chairs as they go everywhere around as the crowd
"ooohs" in
their direction as Joe jumps the wall and picks up Spike again, who's
busted open a little more now. Joe grabs Spike as they walk towards the
back entrance
way of the stadium, Joe picking up chairs and throwing them at Spike
who misses and ducks a couple but gets leveled with a couple as well as
they go inside the
back of the stadium where a few fans flock along to.
Cole: This is Falls Count Anywhere after all.
King: No shit, Sherlock!
They enter the conserative area where Joe is just playing games
with Spike now, as they enter a small pizza place as the fans are
crowded around the two men
and the referee. Joe takes Spike's head and bounces it across a
standing room only table as he throws him back outside, Spike crawling
to get up as Joe
moves around the fans, shoving a few out of the way before going back
over to Spike, picking him up...but Spike has still some fight left in
him as he starts
brawling with Joe, punching and kicking, finding a waste basket and
throwing it across the head of Joe as the fans around him cheer loudly,
Spike picking up
Joe as he kicks him in the gut and performs a double arm DDT to the
concrete floor actually going for the cover as the ref taps the
concrete.
ONE....TWO...KICKOUT by Joe as Spike stomps on him a couple times
before picking him up and throwing him against a wall near an entrance
to the stadium as he
walks out of the entrance, fans cheering as they see him appear out of
nowhere as he taunts to the crowd, but not before a dropkick from
behind by Joe sends
Spike falling down a couple flights of stairs, before reaching the
bottom as Joe goes over and walks down the stairs.
King: Spike had it coming to him.
Cole: What do you mean, he got attacked from behind!
Joe meets Spike down at the bottom of the stairs, as Spike gets up,
a little dazed by the dropkick but still able as he clubs Joe right
into the back of the
head a couple
times before grabbing him and attempting to throw him down into
the floor below but knowing Joe's strength, he doesn't budge as he
clubs Spike in the
neck a few times before trying to throw him off. Joe's attempt is a
little better but Spike doesn't go, as he tries his hardest to not get
thrown off
hitting Joe as the two men start brawling again, Spike grabbing Joe's
head and clanging it against the rail as it causes Joe to trickle blood
down his face
as Spike starts slamming his head on the rail over and over and over
again, payback from eariler when Joe slammed Spike's head on the apron
as Spike is now
angrier than ever as he sets up Joe over the rail as he holds one
barely with one arm as Spike steps back a little and sets up his
target. Then, with all of
his energy, he runs towards Joe and nails the a huge lariat onto Joe as
he falls about 10 ft. into a bunch of chairs that the fans were sitting
on as the crowd
is chanting along, with their usual banter.
Cole: OH MY GOD!
King: That might have hurt.
Cole: Sure it was 10 ft. but the landing had to hurt.
Spike goes over the railing and as Joe is laying across two chairs,
Spike jumps off and does a double foot stomp to Joe on the chairs as
fans chant
"X-H-F" over and over again. Both men are down as the fans chant for
them to get up. Spike gets up slowly and grabs Joe dragging him along
back to
the barricade where he throws Joe over the barricade back near the ring
as Spike follows him. He picks Joe up and throws him in the ring where
he goes to the
top rope and taunts the fans as he flies off with the Leap of Faith!!
He nails it pinning Joe. ONE....TWO....THREE! NO WAIT! JOE'S FOOT IS ON
THE ROPES!
THE MATCH CONTINUES! Spike gets frustated pounding on the mat as he
picks up Joe hooking his arms, he's going for....his brothers
move...the.. Reckless
Killing II. But Joe holds his leg on his own. He won't let Spike hit it
as he kicks him in the gut and throws him on his shoulder...TWIST OF
FATE! TWIST OF
FATE He goes for the cover...ONE...TWO...THR--SPIKE'S SHOULDER'S UP!
Joe pounds on the mat now as he picks up Spike and throws him to the
corner
lifting him up on the turnbuckle doing the cut-throat sign. He says
it's done and over with. He goes on the top and starts clubbing with
Spike as he throws
him up for the shoulders. He gets ready to drive down with none other
than Spike's own move the Spike Impailer
but Spike somehow gets off his shoulders! He does, headbutting Joe
in the nose and lifting him up for his own...SPIKE IMPAILER OFF THE
TURNBUCKLE!!! Spike
manages to flop an arm over Joe
Everyman.......one........two.....THREE!!!
Winner via Pinfall: Spike Kane!
Cole: He did it, he's the unofficial final XHF Champ!
King: And king of hardcore!
Intermission
"Evil Wins"
*It is now intermission during the broadcast. All is quiet as people shuffle out of their
seats to go get some food, drinks, maybe some of the last ever XHF
merchandise they can. All seems pretty normal for the biggest show
ever, well, at least that’s what everyone thinks. But then....then it
all comes crashing down. "Am I Evil" by Metallica hits the speakers and
the stage fills with mist. Strobe lights go on all throughout the
arena. Evil-Borg and Heavymetal-Borg come out together and
Heavymetal-Borg is air guitaring to the music. They make their way to
the ring throwing up the devil horns and threatening fans. They are
joined by fellow Borg members, Mini-Borg and Gold-Borg. This is indeed
a threatening sight. As the group gets into the ring Evil-Borg pulls
out a microphone.*
:evil It’s time to get EEEEEVVIIIIIIL!!!!
*The crowd boos.*
:evil There comes a time in every man, woman, or evil group bent on
universal domination’s life in which said group is either made great or
forever destroyed. Many go on their daily lives and never realize that
this gamble exists and they remain nothings or maybe just average
forever. Well folks, the Borgs are smarter than that!
:heavy WOOOP!
:evil That’s right folks, and tonight, at this Night in Which
Champions Battle is the pinnacle time of the Borgs! Tonight we will
RULE EVERYTHING! And how will we do it you ask? Well, watch and see!
*Evil-Borg turns his attention to the other Borgs.*
:evil RAISE THE VAT!
*The Borgs all look around. Finally Evil-Borg pauses.*
:evil Oh, that’s right, I have the remote.
*He looks into his hand, and there it is, a rather large oversized
remote with a long antenna on it. He presses one of the huge buttons
and a hole opens up on one side of the entranceway, and up comes a
clear vat of some sort of florescent purple liquid that is pouring out
some sort of smoke.*
:evil This is evil in it’s most purest form! It is nearly impossible
to transport, especially all the way from.....THE AFTERWARD! But
through our cunning and deceptiveness, we’ve been able to compile this
large mixture of it! Now if I may be so kind as to ask you all to- TURN
YOUR GAZE SKYWARD!
*The crowd, and cameras look up to see that quite some distance
above the vat is what appears to be an elevator car that is outside of
it’s shaft.*
:evil That is the Borg-Brand® Time Buster! It is the only method of
time-travel allowed to the Borgs, the only way that we can get to the
GLORIOUS AFTERWARD and not the DISPICABLE FUT-
*Heavymetal-Borg clears his throat.*
:heavy We can’t say that word, for us it must go unheard!
:evil Oh yes, THAT PLACE WE CAN’T SAY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!
:heavy WOOP!
:evil You see folks, by overloading our machine, it will exist in
all dimensions and times at once! So after lowering it into the vat, I
shall press the overload button, and EVIL WILL BE EVERYWHERE! And
finally, THE AFTERWARD SHALL RULE! AS WILL I!
*The Borgs all start laughing but this is soon interrupted by the hardcore beat of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes.*
:evil Not the Trons!
*Indeed it is Team Tron as they file out from the back onto the
entranceway. Lazor-Tron stands proud in front, but is joined by
Shogun-Tron, Saber-Tron, Xtreme-Tron, Mini-Tron, Techno-Tron, and
Taka-Tron! The whole of the Tron’s known to the XHF! For some reason,
they don’t need microphones. Lazor-Tron points to the stage, and the
others follow suit.*
:lazor This ends here Evil-Borg! For we are here to save.....THE FUTURE!
:evil You’re too late do-gooders! The process is just about to start! THE BORGS WILL RULE!
:heavy WOOP!
:saber Not if we stop you!
:evil Go ahead and try! We have these!
*Suddenly all four Borgs pull out these weird crystals.*
:techno OH NO! NOT THE HEARTS OF DARKNESS!
:evil Yessss, the Hearts of Darkness! Every Borg has one, it fuels his power, and maintains his disposition.
*Evil-Borg’s glows a Ghastly Green, Mini-Borg’s glows a Sadistic
Red, Gold-Borg’s glows a Virulent Yellow, and Heavymetal-Borg’s glows
a..um....er....Hardcore Purple!*
:evil What you fools probably don’t know is that with their powers combined-
:xtreme You form Captain Planet?
:evil Yes, we for- wait, no, that’s not what happens at all. We become nearly invincible!
:shogun If this is true then we must stop them before they can
activate the Hearts of Darkness. Otherwise they’ll be like Gods, or
God-like beings, which means No Luck for anyone!
Taka-Tron: Let’s get them!
*The Trons run down the entrance ramp towards the ring.*
:evil You’re already too late, losers!
*The four Borgs rush to the four corners of the ring, and each
inserts their crystal into the corner that they have occupied. Suddenly
loud noises start blasting as thick black smoke begins to descend from
the ceiling and lighting hits all four ring posts.*
:evil NOW YOU WILL FEEL OUR TRUE POWER!
*Team Tron all stop-poses and looks at the horror unfolding.*
:mini We can’t stop now!
:evil Fight us if you must, but you will lose!
*Team-Tron storms the ring. Techno-Tron and Gold-Borg square off,
the two powerhouses wail away, but Techno is overpowered and is thrown
out of the ring by the really not as bad restaurant owner, Gold-Borg.
On the outside, Techno-Tron gets up and poses with a clenched fist.*
:techno Blast! He’s too strong!
*The Minis meet and lock up, Mini-Tron appears to get the better of
his Borg counterpart, but has he leans over to deliver a finishing
blow, Mini-Borg launches the Tron over the top rope to the outside!
Meanwhile Saber-Tron and Taka-Tron are fighting Heavymetal-Borg. He
blocks swift kick from Taka-Tron and spins her into the Light Sword of
Saber-Tron! She crumples, holding her leg as she rolls out of the ring!
Saber-Tron, undeterred goes in for a stab with his Light Sword, but
Heavymetal-Borg dodges, grabs the handle of the sword and spins around
behind Saber-Tron. After that, all he needs to do is quickly kick
Saber-Tron away, and now he has his Light Sword! Saber-Tron is stunned
as Heavymetal-Borg takes a quick slice at Saber-Tron’s chest, causing
the weapons master to stumble backwards over the top rope to the
outside!
:heavy WOOP!
*The real battle though is going on between Evil-Borg and
Shogun-Tron with Lazor-Tron. There’s crazy kicks, and punches, and
poses going everywhere! Suddenly, Xtreme-Tron launches off the top rope
with an air attack on Evil-Tron, but Evil is able to dart to the side,
grab Xtreme-Tron and throw him into the others! The two catch him, but
this gives Heavymetal-Borg and Evil-Borg enough time to push them all
over the top rope! Team-Tron regroups on the outside in a cool
re-grouping pose as Evil looks on from the center of the ring.*
:evil You see my Tron brethren, it is far too late for you! One could say that you are in fact....OUT OF TIME!
:heavy WOOP!
*The Trons all look at each other. Then Lazor-Tron speaks to Xtreme-Tron.*
:lazor Young one, it’s time.
:xtreme You mean?
:saber Yes, call the Domestic Cat Zord.
*Xtreme-Tron runs out in front of the group.*
:xtreme Things are about to get.....furry.
*Xtreme-Ranger then does three perfectly executed star jumps and then points his morpher to the sky.*
:xtreme I NEED THE POWER OF THE CA-uh!
*Xtreme is stopped by being impaled by Mini-Borg, who was thrown by
Gold-Borg into Xtreme-Tron. Thus ending the summoning, and preventing
the Zord from being called.*
:evil Enough fun and games, it’s time to get EEEEEEEVIL!
*Mini-Borg jumps back up into the ring as Evil-Borg presses a button
on his remote, suddenly the whole ring starts moving around in a
counter-clockwise manner!*
:evil You see, tonight was the night because the XHF Arena is the
only one in the world which has the proper pully system to allow our
Borg-Brand® Time Buster to be lowered into a vat! We have spent weeks
changing the cranks, chains, and levers that control the Tower Match
structure, to match our EEEEVIL ways! As the ring turns it slowly
lowers the Time Buster into the vat, and when it reaches the liquid,
all I have to do is press a button and the whole of existence will be
rocked into our vision of....THE AFTERWARD!
:heavy WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!
*The ring slowly spins as the Borgs laugh their evil laugh.*
:shogun What will we do!?
Taka: There’s only one thing we can do! We must push the ring to stop it’s turning!
:lazor Taka-Tron is right, we have to use brute force to stop this mayhem!
*The group run to one corner of the ring and begin pushing in the opposite direction, but to no avail!*
:evil You fools! As long as we maintain the power of the four Hearts of Darkness, you won’t be able to stop us!
:solid And that’s why I’m here to even the score!
*Nobody knows where the voice came from as they all look around,
suddenly from the rafters descends Solid Snake using Cypher! Once he’s
close to the ring, he lets go and pulls out a bazooka! He fires and the
rocket flies into one of the corners, BLOWING IT UP! Suddenly Gold-Borg
drops to his knees.*
Gold-Borg: MY POWER!
:evil No! Our quadra-protection! We’re no longer invulnerable!
*Solid Snake joins the Trons in their attempt to stop the turning
ring. But alas! It still continues as the Time Buster slowly gets
closer to the vat.*
:evil HAHAHA! Even with our power weakened, it would still take at
least two more of you, or one super-powered individual to stop the
process!
"STAND BACK! THERE’S A HURRICANE COMIN’ THROUGH!"
*The Hurricane’s theme plays as he runs out of the back and fly/runs down to the ring!*
Hurricane: Hurra-powers activate!
*Hurricane then assists the heroes as they try to stop the ring from moving, AND IT DOES!*
:evil BLAST! But it is of no matter! Soon you will tire yourselves
out and the ring will again continue to move, and the Time Buster will
reach the Evil Ooze, and TIME WILL BE MINE!
:solid It’s time to call in reinforcements!
*He touches his head and starts talking, soon coming from the
rafters on a rope is GI JOE! GI Joe swings into the ring and starts
fighting with Evil-Borg. However, Evil-Borg, in his powered up state is
too much for GI Joe and the American Hero is sent over the edge of the
ring! He jumps back up and starts pushing as well.*
:evil It’s no use! Bring all the friends you want, this ring will not budge!
:gijoe You know, that’s not a bad idea, why don’t we bring in some more friends?
*Suddenly a semi-truck bursts through the entranceway! It’s Optimus
Prime in his vehicle form! On top of Optimus Prime rides along Captain
Planet, CR, and Pangus!*
:prime Everyone, get out of the way, I’m going to ram the ring!
*Everyone moves to another side of the ring as Optimus flies at the
corner they were pushing on. Meanwhile, Captain Planet, CR, and Pangus
jump off.*
:planet By our powers combined....
:cr ...Justice will be served!
Pangus: ARF!
*Optimus rams the ring and tries to turn it the other way, but he
just spins his wheels. All the heroes start pushing, but to no avail.*
:evil AHAHAHA! We can wait all day for you to tire yourselves out, we have AN ETERNITY!
:heavy WOOOP!
*Some Japanese sounding music plays and out comes Ken the Box,
X-Box, Shadow Dragon, and GIZMO Dragon! They all run down to the
ring....well, Shadow Dragon does. KtB and his brother X-Box sort of
waddle, and GIZMO tries to run, but trips. Either way, a short while
later they too are all at the ring, pushing, trying to reverse the
direction of the ring, but it stands still, waiting for them to tire!*
:evil It’s over now heroes! When you all tire out, the Borgs shall rule all!
:willis Not if I have anything to do about it!
*Everyone turns to see Bruce Willis standing in front of one of the turnbuckles inside the ring.*
:heavy Who can it be now?!
:evil When did you get here!?
:willis I’ve been here the whole time
*He points at his camo suit and face paint.*
:willis Camouflage, baby.
:evil Well you can’t stop us now!
:willis Oh? I noticed that when Solid Snake blew up one of the corners you lost the power to sustain the spinning of the ring.
:evil So? Who cares!?
:willis Well, it got me thinking, what if you lost another corner?
:heavy WOOP!?
*Bruce Willis steps aside and there on the turnbuckle is a package, with a red blinking light.*
:evil Oh this is gonna suck....
*BOOM! THE TURNBUCKLE EXPLODES! Mini-Borg drops to his knees*
Mini-Borg: NOOOOO!
:shogun By my calculations, we only need one more person to push now that they’ve lost power and we can reverse this thing!
:bauer Well I guess that’s what I’m here for.
*Everyone turns to the entranceway where Curtis Bauer stands with a cigar in his mouth.*
:bauer Wait, you all suck, screw this.
*He then walks backstage. Bruce Willis jumps down and starts pushing
the ring with everyone else and it starts moving the other way.*
:evil Well this can’t go well
*Suddenly, as the Time Buster starts going upwards, a shot of lightning strikes Evil-Borg’s remote!*
:evil Oh no! It’s going to overpower the Time Buster!
:heavy WOOP!
*Everyone turns their attention to the Time Buster hanging in the
air and then it....it....BLOWS THE FUCK UP!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOM!*
:heavy THAT WAS OUR ONLY WAY BACK!
*Evil-Borg drops to his knees.*
:evil NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*He actually yells "no" longer, but there’s other dialogue while
he’s doing it. Lazor-Tron looks out at all of the heroes of the XHF and
nods.*
:lazor Good work everyone! Let’s go home!
*They all cheer as Evil-Borg is left in his misery.*
*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 Singles Match
Steve Awesome vs. Price (c)
Steve Awesome and Price stand opposite each other, the bell rings
and the two begin to shift about, pacing around the ring. The two lock
up and Awesome gains the advantage, twisitng Price's arm around into an
armbar. Price slaps at his shoulder as the armbar is applied, Price
slaps it again as he ducks under and manages to reverse the lock,
locking an armbar in on Steve Awesome instead. Awesome gets iritated
and elbows Price in the face. Price drops clutching at his nose and
Awesome pounces on top of him.
Cole: What a harsh shot.
King: Yeah moves like that make me cringe.
Awesome
slams fist after fist into Price's face before Price uses his strenth
to roll over and reverse the situation. Price delivers one or two
punches before he gets up off of Awesome, not favoring the brawl at
all. Price awaits Awesome to get back to his feet and runs off the
ropes so he's facing Awesome, Awesome is up as Price jumps with a knee
to the head of Awesome. Awesome falls backwards and Price locks in an
armbar on Awesome. Awesome reaches out for the ropes, being just out of
reach, but Price gets up, not letting go of the arm. He drags Awesome
to his feet and then pulls him over with an armdrag right into another
armbar. Awesome yells out as he reaches for the ropes, this time
reaching them. The ref tells Price to break the hold, and he does so.
King: And Price proving he's a better mat wrestler.
Price
backs away as Awesome tries to get up. Price charges but Awesome ducks
down pulling the top rope with him. Price is sent flying over the top
rope and crashes to the outside. Awesome grabs the ropes and jumps up,
turning himself around mid-air, he planchas off the top rope and dives
backwards landing on top of Price! The crowd is going wild and both men
are nearly out cold on the floor at ringside.
Cole: Did you see that high risk offense there King?!
King: I sure did, and it really paid off for Awesome, so it seems...
Awesome
is up on his feet first, but not by much as Price gets to his feet as
well. The ref has meanwhile begun his countout and is at around Three
by now. Awesome grabs Price by the hair, but Price charges forward with
his shoulder dug into Awesome's lower abdomen, Awesome hits the apron
as a result of the charge. Price then grabs Awesome by the head and
goes to hit him off the ringpost, but Awesome stops himself, and slams
Price's head into the ringpost instead. The ref is now on Seven in his
count, so Awesome rolls Price into the ring and then slides in himself.
Awesome covers Price. One....Two...KICKOUT!
Cole: Awesome almost had the U.S. Title won right then and there!
Awesome
slams the mat in frustration, but knew deep down he wouldn't win just
yet given the ability of his opponent. He then grabs Price by the head
and drags him to his feet before kicking him in the gut and pulling off
a flowing DDT. Awesome sits up and claps his hands mockingly as he
drags Price to the corner. He sits Price up, facing outwords and spits
towards the crowd who are booing him. He then goes to the opposite side
of the ring and sits on the turnbuckle before jumping down and charging
at Price, he lifts his knee to smack Price, but nobody's home! Price
had barely rolled out the way and Awesome crashes and burns.
King: Excellent in ring awareness by our United States Champ there.
Cole: He's not won yet though, so don't celebrate too soon King...
King: That's what you think...
Awesome
cries out in pain before he stumbles around, turning around right into
a left-armed stunner, aka the Price Crash from Price! The crowd gasps
immediately, as do the commentaters, and the refs, the cameramen and
even the timekeeper. Awesome is sprawled out in the middle of the ring
and nonchalantly Price goes for the cover thinking he's got it won once
and for all, the crowd chanting along with the ref's count moments
later: One......Two....Thre-NO, KICKOUT!!!
Cole: HOLY CRAP!
King: UNBELIEVABLE!
The
crowd ERUPT as Awesome somehow kicked out. Price has his hands in
stunned awe of this on his forehead before finally getting his wits
about him again and making his way to his feet. He soon after begins
stalking Awesome, daring him to get up, and Awesome does...very slowly,
obviously his brain is a little rattled after the Price Crash as it
were. Awesome is on a knee as Price furiously charges looking for a
diving bulldog from behind, but as he lifts his hand to grab Awesome's
head in mid-air, Awesome ducks! Price is spun around and facing away
from Awesome before Awesome jumps up and executes a jumping reverse DDT
out of nowhere! The crowd again pop big time for the wrestling skills
on display here, even though they otherwise are indifferent about
Awesome of course. Awesome then climbs to the second rope and taunts to
the crowd before jumping off with a molly-go-round, aka the The
Innovation of Awesomeness from high above! He covers the almost
unconscious Price and hooks both legs tightly. One.....Two.....Thre-NO,
this time it's PRICE who comes up with the epic Kickout to match
Awesome's from earlier!!
Cole: AGAIN so close! Awesome almost
had him finished, but it seems Price has his own ideas about how the
U.S. Title's legacy is destined to end this evening!
King: Yep almost the end for Price's title reign, but by god it still lives on nonetheless!
Awesome
lividly slams the mat over and over and over several times and then
gets up screaming a variety of foul words toward the referee. Price is
slowly getting to his feet nearby however. Shortly thereafter he grabs
Awesome from behind and executes a snap reverse suplex before Steve
could react whatsoever! With Awesome down Price stalks once more, this
time seemingly looking for a "Crackdown" vertabreaker, BUT as Awesome
gets up he delivers a quick kick to the gut and places Price between
his legs before proceeding to hit, THE EGO CHECK! Awesome covers as the
ref slides in for the count: One...........Two................THREE!
Winner via Pinfall and NEW/Final XHF United States Champion: Steve Awesome!
Cole: He's done it King, he's done it!!!
King: Yep much as I hate to admit it he's given Price and everyone here tonight one last opportunity to be...Awesomely Informed!
*The sound of a light breeze is heard throughout the arena as the
lights go off and a dull read light throbs on the Xtreme Tron. The
white sillouette of a
woman is seen walking slowly closer and closer to the screen, with a
black background and water dripping slowly down the screen as the
guitar chords of
"Going Down in Flames" by 3 Doors Down kicks up on the PA. Just as her
whole body is in it's best view, the water turns to a blood red and a
loud
bang emits, the red light turns to a dark purple and Dagger appears in
the center of the Xtreme Tron. She smiles and begins walking down to
the ring and jumps
into the ring just as the chorus ends.*
*"Praise" by Sevendust hits the speakers loud and clearly. The fans
are on their feet watching their former favorite female star in one T-Bird as she starts to
walk out from
the back. Her head is held high while she wears a black tank top with a
pair of wings adoring both sides. With that a pair of black leather
pants and of course
her feet taped up in black tape. Her head starts to bob a little to the
music till it goes loudler then she jumps as pryo goes off around her.
The music slows
down against as she makes her way down half jogging slapping a few fans
hands as the fans scream again for her. As the music picks up she
slides under the
buttom rope and is up again greeting the crowd on the turnbuckle. She
hops down and does it again on the other side. As she hops down a
second time she walks
around the ring getting ready for her match.*
*The lights all quickly flicker out now, as the bass and guitar
begin to kick in with the song of "What Have You Done" by Within
Temptation, featuring Keith
Caputo begins to come in the background. The blue lights cause a
reflection all around the arena as the crowd boos waiting for the
arrival of Tara Fenix. The
voice of Keith Caputo and Sharon den Adel are heard, as the opening
lyrics were heard shouted over the audio system.
What have you done now?
The instrumentals begin to pick up a little more, as the crowd boos
louder waiting for Tara still. The XtremeTron is showing clips of
famous matches that Tara
had competed in many coming in at a time. Signs for the dominant female
are held high as the camera looks over as many as possible before the
vocals continue
with just Keith Caputo now.
I know I better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
Sharons voice could be heard in the background now as the song
continued. But still Tara Fenix had not emerged! The crowd kept waiting
as the lights began to
brighten a little more each time the vocals had risen a bit more
higher.
I know I should stop believing
I know that there's no retreating
It's over now
What have you done?
The music dies down a little bit, and the lights can be seen slowly dimming.
What have you done now?
I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
(What have you done now?)
Why? Why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you.
Fireworks begin to shoot off at the stage, and the entire crowd
goes completely insane at the emergence of Tara Fenix! Her hand was
raised in the air, showing
off the devil horns. Her name was booed throughout the entire arena as
she began to make her way down to the ring, dressed in her wrestling
attire and
sunglasses were hiding her face.
While the words What have you done? keep repeating over the audio
system, Tara continues to make her way down to the ring looking out at
the crowd that was
still booing her, and a couple flipping her off. There was the
occasional whistle out from the men, and some lesbian women that were
out there because you
couldnt deny the beauty of Tara.
Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to cause you have
Turned into my worst enemy?
You carry hate that I feel
It's over now
What have you done?
Tara climbs the steel steps and walks towards the middle of the
apron of the ring, hooking both her arms around the top rope as she
stares out at the crowd.
She mumbles a couple words to herself, slurs out to the crowd out of
disrespect, as the crowd continues to stare, but as the words continue
to go through the
entire arena she finally turns towards the ring and goes between the
top and middle ropes, giving a small leap to get through. She goes to
the side of the ring
closest to the commentating table, reaching through to get a bottled
Aquafina water.
She comes back through and brings one foot onto the bottom rope,
and one onto the middle while she keeps one hand on the top rope and
the other holds her hand
high with the bottle of water still in hand. After coming away from the
rope, she opens the bottle of water and pours a little over herself
before taking a
quick drink out of it and tossing it out among the crowd, the water
spiraling through the air since she had failed to close it. She leans
against the
turnbuckle and raises her hand into the air before waiting for the
match to start.*
Triple Threat Match
Dagger vs. Tara Fenix vs. T-Bird
All three women stand in their respective corners, but once the bell
sounds, Tara and T-Bird go at each other to resolve unfinished
business. Dagger takes a
step forward to try to interject, but after watching these two women go
at each other, Dagger shrugs and goes to sit on the top turnbuckle,
letting the two
beat each other up!
Cole: Haha, looks like Dagger is just kicking back and enjoying the show now from her perch up there!
King: Yeah wise strategy on her part to simply relax and let the other two wear each other down I must admit...
T-Bird and Tara trade vicious right hands, neither one getting a
upper hand. Tara goes for a clothesline on T-Bird but it's ducked, and
Tara runs to the
ropes. T-Bird turns around and goes to give Tara a tilt-a-whirl slam,
but Tara lands on her feet and attempts another clothesline, but T-Bird
ducks, and lifts
Tara up for a back body drop. Tara is able to flip herself over onto
her feet and leaps onto T-Bird's shoulders going for a victory roll,
but T-Bird holds
herself up and goes to push Tara off looking for a slam, but once
again, Tara lands on her feet. A ducked spinning wheel kick leads to
T-Bird running towards
the ropes, only for Tara to knock her down on her back with a quick leg
sweep. Tara runs to the ropes and goes for a flipping senton, but
T-Bird rolls out of
the way. T-Bird gets up and goes for a hard kick to the chest, but Tara
blocks it, and goes for another sweep, that T-Bird jumps over. Tara
gets up to her feet
quickly and dodges a dropkick attempt from Tara. T-Bird gets up, and
ducks under a leaping enzuigiri attempt, and when Tara is on her back
she slides over and
applies a headlock. Tara begins to climb up to her feet, and both women
bounce back on the ropes behind them, and Tara shoves T-Bird into the
ropes on the
opposite side of the ring, and dropkicks T-Bird in the knee, sending
her down. T-Bird tries to get up to her feet quick enough, but she's
caught, and
slammed down into the mat with a hurricanrana! T-Bird rolls out of the
ring, and while all of this is happening, Dagger is still sitting on
the top turnbuckle
applauding! Tara turns her attention to Dagger and runs over towards
her, but Dagger lifts her foot up, connecting with Tara's face. Tara
staggers back and
Dagger steadies herself on the top turnbuckle and leaps off, driving
two boots into the back of Tara, driving Tara's head into the second
turnbuckle! Tara
gets up and begins to walk back, and Dagger rolls her up! The referee
starts the count, 1-2-Tara just kicks out.
Cole: Phew, that was extremely an extremely close call for Tara!
King: Yeah knowing that girl's ego you can bet she would NOT be happy to have that be the way her career ends altogether...
Dagger gets up, and T-Bird begins to climb up onto the apron.
Dagger runs towards her, but T-Bird sends a hard shoulder into Dagger's
ribs. Dagger falls
back holding her ribs, and she slowly begins to climb up to her feet.
The time that it takes for Dagger to get up to her feet allows T-Bird
to springboard
herself onto the top turnbuckle, and deliver a missile dropkick to
Dagger. T-Bird gets up and doesn't go for the cover, as she sees Tara
climbing up to her
feet. When Tara is all the way up T-Bird from behind grabs Tara by the
waist, attempting a german suplex. T-Bird lifts Tara up going for the
move, but Tara
uses all her wait to pull herself down, as she attempts a victory roll,
but the stronger T-Bird is able to hold Tara up and lifts her up,
sending her hard into
the mat with a devastating German Suplex! T-Bird bridges the pin, but
Dagger is able to break up the count before three. The quick Dagger
sends hard karate
kicks into the body of T-Bird, who is still trying to get up to her
feet. Dagger sends hard kicks that send T-Bird to the corner, and then
she grab her by the
wrist and attempts to toss her into the opposite corner, but T-Bird
reverses, sending Dagger into the corner. Dagger hit's the corner hard
and T-Bird runs
towards her and leaps up, and pushes her up in the air with a monkey
flip. While this was going on Tara had climbed to her feet, and when
Dagger was being
flipped Tara was in position, catches her, and slams Dagger down with a
sit-out power bomb! Tara makes the pin attempt, 1-2-T-Bird breaks up
the pin!
Cole: And T-Bird arrives just in time to prevent a near certain victory for Tara!
King: ....Mmmmmm, puppies....
Cole:...Uh, King, you even paying attention here still?
*Cole waves his hand a little in front of King's face...but nothing as he stares ahead at the ring regardless.*
T-Bird lifts Tara up and begins sending hard forearms into her
body, until she sets Tara up for a suplex. T-Bird goes to lift Tara up,
but Tara weighs herself
down and is able to connect with a suplex of her own on T-Bird. T-Bird
holds her back as she begins to climb up to her feet, only to be
knocked out of the ring
with a dropkick. Tara wastes no time, as she walks over to the corner,
and climbs to the top turnbuckle. T-Bird has finally gotten up to her
feet on the
outside, and when she turns her attention to Tara, Tara flies off the
top turnbuckle and connects with a picture perfect moonsault! Both
women are down,
leaving Dagger in the ring by herself. She is climbing up to her feet,
as she sees both Tara and T-Bird stagger on the outside. Both ladies
are up to their
feet and begin trading blows with one another, as Dagger bounces off
the ropes. When she nears the ropes she leaps up, standing on the top
rope and leaps off,
landing on her opponents on the outside! Dagger lands on her feet
looking at the fans, and then grabs Tara and tosses her into the ring.
Dagger stomps on
T-Bird, but then follows after Tara and hooks the leg; 1-2-Tara kicks
out!
Cole: And Dagger almost comes up with the decisive pinfall once again.
King: Close, but no cigar indeed.
Cole: ...What the hell do cigars have to do with this?
Dagger is upset by all this, by continues the attack on Tara by
lifting her up and hitting a European uppercut, sending Tara against
the ropes. Dagger grabs
Tara's wrist and goes for a irish whip, but Tara holds on and pulls
Dagger towards her, and drives a knee into Dagger's stomach. Tara hooks
both of
Dagger's arms and sets up for the Fenix Wings #1, but Dagger is able to
get out of the move, and both women take steps back, and Tara hits
Dagger with a
brutal super kick! Dagger just faints to the mat, and Tara goes for the
pin; 1-2-T-Bird breaks up the pin attempt! T-Bird and Tara begin to go
at it, as Tara
grabs T-Bird and rams her into a corner. Tara grabs T-Bird by the hair
and turns herself around and sits on the top turnbuckle, and hooks both
of T-Bird's
arms. She pushes herself off the turnbuckle, and connects with the
Fenix Wings #2! Before Tara could go for the cover though Dagger runs
and connects with the
Shining Wizard! All three women are down, as the crowd is on their feet
from this spotfest of a match.
Cole: Looks like the intensity is really starting to pick up here as this matchup reaches it's climax!
King:
Well I don't know about all that but speaking of "climaxes" I wouldn't
mind reaching a few myself with any of these lovely women backstage...
Both Dagger and T-Bird are the first to their feet, and the two of
them trade blows, until T-Bird clotheslines Dagger down. Dagger gets up
to her feet as soon
as possible but it's not quick enough, as T-Bird grabs Dagger, sets her
in position, and slams her into the mat with the Darkness Falls! T-Bird
doesn't
attempt the pin though, instead she stands up to her feet and taunts to
the crowd; signaling for the Soaring Eagle! T-Bird walks over to the
corner, and climbs
all the way up, and stands up on the top turnbuckle. She points to
Dagger and then leaps off, connecting with the Soaring Eagle! T-Bird
bounces off the mat
hard and she holds her stomach, but out of nowhere Tara gets up, grabs
T-Bird, and slams her into the mat with the Fenix Wings #1! Tara makes
the cover; 1-2-3!
Winner via Pinfall: Tara!
Cole: And Tara
wins it, in her final match ever in XHF she proves once and for all why
she was the only individual of these three to truly reach the top of
the mountain in the past and become World Champ!
*Tara sits up and holds her arms in the air, celebrating her
victory in the aftermath of all this. She then rolls out of the ring and the referee follows her to hold
her hand up in victory, as
Dagger and T-Bird watch her celebrate from the ring.*
