*Following a short video intro for the event we open up to the night's frenzied arena crowd with the official Gastro event banner on the Xtreme-Tron, explosions going off all over the place and the usual show theme for our weekly broadcast playing loudly across the PA System. We then zoom over to ringside moments later and the theme ends as the action is about to begin for tonight with the first in-ring activity on this week's live edition of Gastro....*
*The lights dim to a black and blue aura, cue the plucking of a guitar, and Serj tankian's voice humming over the PA system.
SO I FELT LIKE THE BIGGEST ASS...HOLE!
Felt like the biggest asshole
when I killed your rock and roll
Mow down the sexy people
Rob Arnold runs out onto the stage to the sound of "Kill Rock 'N' Roll" By System Of A Down. He immediately recognizes the negative heat from the crowd and feeds from it, laughing at them. Smirking as per usual he moves onto the ramp. He pauses half way down and smiles. He then grabs the towel on his head and throws it to the floor, causing three white columns to fly up behind him.
Every time I look in your eyes, every day I'm watching you die
All the thoughts I see in you about how I
Rob walks on down towards the ring and then jogs the final few steps, and placing a knee on the apron. He pauses for another smirk, and then climbs in via the second rope and into the ring.
So I felt like the biggest asshole
(felt like the biggest asshole)
When I killed your rock n roll
(Mow down the sexy people)
Rob walks to a turnbuckle and climbs it, before raising his arms in the air with a smirk. He climbs down, and removes the coat, before moving into the corner of the ring.*
Cole: Here comes Rob Arnold! A man on a mission tonight!
King: To retain his title, and beat that jerk Mr. Wrestling V!
*Generic music plays and Mr. Wrestling V comes out and sternly walks to the ring.*
King: What is Mr. Wrestling V's deal anyway?
Cole: It's not "V" its "five!"
King: It says V on the screen.
Cole: It's a Roman numeral!
King: You're a Roman numeral.
XHF European Championship Singles Match
Mr. Wrestling vs. Rob Arnold
The bell rings and Mr. Wrestling immediately charges at Rob and attacks with forearms to the face. Rob pushes Mr. Wrestling away, but he runs back, but Rob side steps him and delivers a drop toe hold. Mr. Wrestling gets up and Rob grabs him by the throat. Mr. Wrestling knocks his hand away and kicks him in the gut. Mr. Wrestling then lifts Rob up onto his shoulders, but Rob falls off and grabs Mr. Wrestling by the waist and hits a german suplex. Rob holds onto Mr. Wrestling and gets up again to go for another, but Mr. Wrestling does a standing switch and delivers a german of his own. Mr Wrestling gets up and stomps on Rob. He then pulls him up by the hair and whips him into the corner. Mr. Wrestling charges in with a knee lift. He then grabs Rob for a bulldog, but Rob pushes him away and Mr. Wrestling lands on his back. He holds his back in pain. He sits up and Rob runs from behind and delivers a neck whip Perfect style and Mr. Wrestling rolls around holding his neck in pain.
Cole: Ouch!
King: Rob is vicious.
Rob pulls Mr. Wrestling up and sets him up for his Ciderfication, but Mr. Wrestling elbows Rob a few times in the side of the head. Mr. Wrestling then gets behind Rob grabbing his arms and setting him up for the X'ed Out, but Rob hits a back headbutt to get out of it. Rob then turns around into a superkick! Mr. Wrestling staggers back and holds the ropes to help himself stay standing. He then starts to make his way to Rob when Snake slides into the ring! Snake spears Mr. Wrestling and starts wailing away with punches!
Winner by DQ: Mr. Wrestling V
Cole: Hey! What about the match!
King: I don't think he cares.
Mr. Wrestling tries to cover up. Snake pulls Mr. Wrestling up off the mat and goes to kick him, but Mr. Wrestling blocks. He throws the foot away and delivers a throat thrust to Snake. He then grabs him for the Closure, but Snake shoves him away and Rob hits Mr. Wrestling with a high leg clothesline. This staggers him back into Snake, who delivers the Snake Bite! Snake and Rob then get on top of Mr. Wrestling and start wailing away with fists. Rob turns Mr. Wrestling over onto his stomach and gets him in a camel clutch. Snake calls for a mic.
: I'm tired of this! Two months this guys been here, and he's been nothing but a thorn in my side since he first showed up. You're supposed to be some sort of legend? Some sort of "great" wrestler that sorry excuse for a commissioner keeps talking about!? Look at you now! Let's find out just who the hell you are!
Snake throws the mic away and goes down to the head of Mr. Wrestling V. He starts pulling away at the strings on the back of the mask. Mr. Wrestling is squirming around trying to break free, but Rob is keeping him held down. Snake punches him in the back of the head a few more times. Snake starts yanking at the mask and finally pulls it free to reveal...Chris Kanyon!
Cole: Holy crap, it's the commissioner!
King: I thought he was still on the shelf!
Snake and Rob of course look shocked. They look at each other and back at Kanyon. Rob lets go of the Commish and he and Snake stand up and celebrate the unmasking of Mr. Wrestling. They leave the ring to the tune of Hoobastanks Out of Control." Kanyon starts to wake up and realizes he's mask-less. He covers up his face and quickly rolls out of the ring and runs up the ramp.
King: Well, I don't know what to make of this.
Cole: This can't be good, that much I know.
*Following a short commercial break we return as the lights in the arena go fully down to black. Suddenly two giant pyros shoot off from either side of the stage as the crowd is slammed into the chorus of Electric Light Orchestras variation on In the Hall of the Mountain King. The Xtreme-Tron looks as if a hole is being burned through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird, suddenly, the entire area of the bird lights up with flames, a phoenix. The letters XHF fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on with shots of Mongo's career within the phoenix. The song continues as a black bird image emblazoned with XHF is projected onto the ring mat. The letters H and F are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross forming an X. As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks under the large X above him. He then makes his way down to the ring amidst a cheering crowd. Upon reaching the ring Mongo looks around at the crowd and then pulls out his microphone.*
What a night, huh folks? And what a night we had on Sunday! I took a gamble and by sheer luck the Xtreme Hardcore Federation was freed from the horrible clutches of James Mueller!
*Cheers, lightish, I mean, is Mongo that much better?*
But, I must give James some credit, he has opened my eyes and now I understand that the Xtreme Hardcore Federation needs some more life kicked into it! And with that, and in celebration of retaining my company with the help of a few comrades, I have decided to do what I promised I would do when I felt the time was right. That is right ladies and gentlemen, I am calling in the big list!
*Cheers from the crowd.*
Now my original plan was to host a tournament amongst the men on the big list that would lead to a confrontation between the final two men for the Xtreme Hardcore Federation World Heavyweight Championship. However, since I have decided to do it now, so close to The Rumble, I feel it would better serve the company to hold the tournament in order to crown only one of two contenders at The Rumble. That way the winner of the tournament would go on to face the winner of the Rumble match itself at Night of Champions for the Championship!
*More cheers.*
However, there are a few flaws in that plan. The first flaw that came to mind is that the number of people on the list is uneven, thus one would have to have a bye into the next round. And I can think of no fair way in determining who in fact gets the bye. This problem, however, was solved for me earlier tonight as I was told that Mr. Wrestling V was unmasked, and proved, in fact, not to be Mr. Wrestling V. As the list clearly states, Mr. Wrestling V is in the tournament, not his true identity. Therefore, he has been disqualified. So, happily one would presume that this tournament could take place over the next couple of weeks on Gastro and Pyro!
*Cheers, that sounds like fun!*
However, theres also a flaw in that plan. You see, the television company was rather aggravated by James Mueller voiding our contract of Pyro and are being most unwelcoming about brining it back on the air. So, we in fact only have a couple of shows between now and the Rumble, so a tournament would have to be heavily condensed. Which is why next week on Gastro, we will instead have two three-way matches to determine the final two men in the Race for the List! These men shall face off for one of the main-event slots at Night of Champions. The other slot will of course be filled by The Rumble winner. I should note also that those who are eliminated in the mini-tournament for the Lists spot at Night of Champions are also eligible for The Rumble.
*He pauses.*
Phew, that was a mouthful. But anyway, Im sure you all are waiting for me to announce the two three-way matches for next week. In the first one we shall have Myself facing off against Steve Awesome and Rob Arnold. In the second shall be Snake versus Mr. X- the devil that he is- and Zero Tolerance. Having said that folks, let the games begin!
*More cheers.*
Alright then! On with the show!
*In the Hall of the Mountain King plays as Mongo leaves the ringside area.*
*Without warning, the whole arena goes dark. The sound system stops. People start to get restless and begin to talk to each other, talk on their cell phones or go to the concession stands. Then without a second warning "Washing Away Me In The Tides" by Trivium begins to play. Once the vocals of Matt Heafy begin to take the arena over, red strobe light kicks up.
"Disgusted with what I see
So many pieces left of you and me
Glass falls like rain
Ill crucify you for this pain
Tonight I leave this town
In love Id burn it all down
To the ground (Youre nothing to me)
To the ground (Youre fucking killing me)"
Red sparks fly down from the ceiling as the lights are back on. Reckless Jack stands amidst the sparks as with his arms out.
"Abandon all hope
Washing away me in the tides
Unclenching the fists
Made round my neck
Accepting the end"
Once he brings them back in; he starts to walk down to the ring, slapping hands with the many fans. Reckless Jack goes around ringside, still high fiving the fans until he has completed the trip around. He then walks up the ring steps and enters through the middle rope. Reckless Jack then goes to the closest turnbuckle and proceeds to look out into the crowd before back flipping off. A few fans take a picture as he hops off and does the same on the opposite side of the ring. Reckless Jack finally stands in the middle of the ring. While his music fades away, he makes sure his kickpads are in place before getting ready for the match.*
Cole: Pretty intense entrance and return in general there for our former Junior-Heavyweight Champ in Reckless Jack.
King: Indeed, but if all goes as planned for himself he may very well walk out of that ring later tonight with Junior Heavyweight Gold around his waist for an all-time record fourth time ever in XHF!
Cole: Good point, but in order to get to that major milestone and prove he's still a huge force to be reckoned with he'll of course have to go through THIS man who's about to enter the squared circle...
*"All about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy blasts over the P.A. Obsidian walks out eating nachos and with the Junior-Heavyweight Title strapped around his waist. 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.*
Cole: And here is the Junior Heavyweight Champ himself Obsidian!
King: That he is, and through all his wars with everyone else lately for the belt he's proven time and time again to be downright deadly inside an XHF ring, so let's just hope for Jack's sake he didn't make what turns out to be the worst mistake of his entire career by provoking this man into tonight's title match the way he has at Xtraction...
XHF Junior-Heavyweight Championship Singles Match
Reckless Jack vs. Obsidian
Moments later the bell rings and both men are already in a grappling position, with Reckless Jack losing control in the early beginning. Obsidian has control of a grapple, pushing him into the corner. As the ref breaks it up, then pushes Obsidian out of the corner. Jack takes this opportunity to poke Obsidian in the eye. As the ref is between them, Obsidian returns the favor and pokes him in both eyes. They both come out of the corner grabbing their eyes, when Obsidian kicks Jack in the proverbial bread basket, then slams him head down on his knee. He runs off the ropes and hits a running knee lift to the chin on Jack. he goes down and Obsidian goes for a pin. He only gets a two count on him. Obsidian stays on offense, or at least tries to when Jack suddenly elbows him in the chest. He tries to walk away but he pulls him down to the mat with his hair. He gets a stiff warning from the referee, which he pays no attention to at the moment. Then lays in some boots to Jack, and then drops a knee across the throat of Jack. He runs off the ropes and drops quick legdrops to Jack's face. He does this three times before picking him up. He sends shots into the chest of Jack, then he hunches over. He attempts a powerbomb but Jack reverses it and hits a DDT. Right away he gets up and heads over to the corner, possibly going for a moonsault. Obsidian takes too much time however and is greeted with an elbow to his back. Obsidian goes beneath him and sets up for a powerbomb and connects with it. Still standing, he once again picks him up and hits another emphatic powerbomb!
Cole: This match looks like it's going to pick up soon.
King: Yes, but our former Junior Heavyweight Champion in Jack has a new face!
Back in the ring Obsidian finally pins Jack's shoulders to the mat but is only granted a two count after Jack kicks out. He argues with the ref but this conveniently allows Jack to get up in the meantime. He kicks Obsidian in the back. He then jumps on Obsidian's back, trying to lock on a sleeperhold. Obsidian struggles for awhile, but pulls him over his head. Jack however lands cleanly on his feet and Obsidian in turn grapples behind him. Obsidian pushes him into the corner, where the referee himself just happens to be standing. That brief moment of distraction allows him to kick Obsidian for a blatant low blow! However the referee couldn't see it take place.
Cole: OUCH!
King: ...We've been broadcasting for XHF for over half a decade now... You're shocked after a simple low blow Cole?
Jack sadistically smiles now. He heads to the apron and springboards into the ring, jumps across to the other set of ropes and hits a brilliant looking moonsault. All perfect for a pin, but he only gets a two count somehow! Jack remains steadily on offense though, by soccer kicking Obsidian in the ribs. He rolls over on the mat, showing signs of obvious pain. He soon gets him to his feet, and then throws him off the ropes. Jack attempts a clothesline as he bounces back at him but misses horribly. On the Obsidian rebound, he jumps back and kicks the air. Jack then manages to connect with a swift kick to the ribs in return. Wasting no time, he heads to the top rope and waits for Obsidian to get up. Off he goes right away with a missle dropkick and yet again he connects! He then gets a little TOO greedy and once again goes for the same exact maneuver in an apparent show of arrogance. This time his dropkick is greeted with another missle dropkick, from Obsidian, to his body. They both roll around in pain as the referee makes a standing ten count. 123they begin to move and stand a little. 45and they both make it to their feet. Obsidian swings at Jack, who blocks it. He then kicks him in the midsection, and attempts to hit another DDT but Obsidian rolls out of it and grabs his head. Obsidian lifts him up for an atomic drop but instead puts his hand on his chest and moves his knee out more. He pushes down on his chest, and shortly thereafter Jack's spine lands right on his knee. He rolls around grabbing his back in pain, as Obsidian just looks on at him, stalking him somewhat and waiting for the right opportunity to pounce once more.
Cole: Obsidian has one hell of a determined look on his face!
King: Yep uh oh, this definitely can't mean anything good for Reckless Jack!
Jack continues to roll around, as Obsidian runs off the ropes and hits a huge leg drop right to the face of Jack. Making sure he's out cold, he picks him up once again. Jack was playing possum though it seems, as he tries for an arm drag but it's blocked right away by Obsidian. In return, he low blows Obsidian once again, out of sight from the referee and then rolls him up. he gets the 12and a last second kickout from Obsidian. Jack is extremely frustrated now, as he heads to the top turnbuckle. Looking for the 450 splash he sets himself up there but once as he gets up, we find the referee looking down upon the fallen Obsidian, who's taken quite a beating by this point in the contest. As soon as this happens, we have none other than shockingly MATT HICKS who jumps a nearby crowd barrier outside the ring and slides quickly into the ring itself. Once inside a maniacal looking Hicks grabs Reckless Jack and due to Jack's fatigue from the match manages to pick him up and plant him directly down to the mat with a massive spinebuster before he can react whatsoever! Meanwhile the referee didn't see any of this but when he finally turns back around he finds Reckless Jack alone on the ring mat, completely unconscious while the coniving Matt Hicks stands just outside the ring with an innocent yet mischievous type of demeanor smeared across his face. At spotting him nearby the ref obviously suspects something to have occured involving Hicks and Jack but due to having no immediate visual evidence backing it up he can only give Hicks a stern warning to stay outside the ring, which accordingly Hicks is glad to abide by since his damage here has already been done as it were. Simultaneously though Obsidian, who's also still clueless as to of any of this just now, crawls over and conveniently enough drapes an arm over Reckless Jack and the referee slides down into position for the count: One....Two......THREE!
Winner via Pinfall and STILL XHF Junior Heavyweight Champion: Obsidian!
Cole: Well I'll be damned, Obsidian has won the match and blatently retrained the title off an unsuspecting Reckless Jack, and by god it's all thanks for some completely bizarre and unknown reason to that pompous SOB Matt Hicks of all people!
King: Well ironically enough I don't think Hicks did any of this whatsoever to help Obsidian here as far as the belt's concerned Cole. As has been well documented over time those two have no love lost whatsoever after Hicks' falling out with Chris Kanyon himself a while back, so I highly doubt these two are in cahoots again with one another by any means. Although I'm most certainly looking forward to hearing Hicks' explanation soon enough for these actions of his so hopefully we'll all get some good reasoning out of him one way or another soon enough.
*Suddenly after another break 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.
Lets 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.*
Cole: Jayson might have gotten him self into a big pile here.
King: He's going to die.
*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.*
King: Price has a wicked grin on his face.
Cole: I feel bad for Jayson.
XHF United States Championship Singles Match
Jayson Matthews vs. Price
Price starts jawing away as the ref calls for the bell, the two men met up in the middle of the ring and tie up, Jayson uses his quickness and quickly turns to a side headlock, then he flips Price over his hip to the mat holding the headlock, Price tryies to counter with a head scissor but Jayson squirms his head out, Jayson applies the pressure then floats over to a half nelson cover, not even a one as Price easly kicks out and slides away from Jayson and pops to his feet, Jayson tap's his head as if he's smarter then Price, Price just grins right back at the young man and nods his head as they circle around each other once more before locking up, Price this time quickly turns it into a side headlock, then he lets go and takes Jayson down with a belly to back take down, he floats over and locks in a front headlock, he slaps the top of Jayson's head before floating over once more into a rear chin lock, he yells down at Jayson. He releases the hold and stands almost half dancing away from Jayson. Jayson sits up with a look of frustration on is face, Price motions for him to get back to his feet.
King: Price is having fun out there.
Cole: And that scares me.
The two men go to lock up again but this time Price counters with a kick to the gut, then a hard left handed knife hand chop, then another, then another driving Jayson back to the corner, Price then grab's Jayson's arm and whips him across the ring to the other corner and comes charging in with a yakuza kick, Jayson ducks out of the way just in time and Price get's hung up on the top rope, Jayson takes quick advantage of this and starts kicking away at Price's leg's working over the quad and thigh before Price falls backwards to the mat to get his leg free, as he tries to get back to his feet Jayson helps him hooking Price's leg and then lifting and dropping Price's leg down over his knee with a shin breaker. Jayson goes for a quick over, one...kick out.
Cole: Smart wrestling by Jayson here..wait...did I just really use the term smart and Jayson in the same sentence?
King: Your fired.
Jayson continues to work over the leg stomping on the knee joint, he then drags Price towards the corner and climbs to the top rope, he comes flying off with a knee drop right across Price's leg, Price holds his leg as he yells out and Jayson rolls throw the move holding his knee for a second also, he stands and shakes it out limping just a tad as he gets back to Price, he goes for a quick cover again, one..kick out easy by Price, Jayson get's Price to his feet and shoves him into the corner, he then lay's in a few kicks to the gut as he holds the ropes then starts to choke Price with his boot, the ref gives him up to a 4 count before he releases the choke. Jayson then walks to the center of the ring taunting the fans before turning quickly and charging back in at Price with a flying body attack, Price comes wobbling out of the corner as Jayson pushes him from the back of the head down to the mat, Jayson then leaps up to the top rope and turns back to face the ring, he looks out to the crowd once more taunting them and showing off, he then measures Price up and comes flying off the top rope with I Hate Long Division (Shooting Star press into an elbow drop) but Price counters by getting his knees up in time to take the blow, Jayson hits the mat like a fish flopping around holding his arm as Price rolls out of the ring holding his knee.
Cole: Price was on the ropes there for a bit until that counter.
King: But how much damage did it do to him in the process?
Price takes his time outside the ring to walk off his injured leg as Jayson him self gets to his feet in the ring, Jayson eye's Price pacing outside and comes running towards the Messiah he leaps up and over the top rope going for a cross body but Price sidesteps and pushes Jayson down towards the floor with a thud. Price just looks down at the younger man and shakes his head, he then rolls into the ring to break the count then back out and pulls Jayson to his feet, he then whips Jayson right into the stairs with a loud crash he turns to the fans pounds his chest and does the crucifix pose before turning back to Jayson.
Cole: Price's a fighter and a champion!
King: You dont SAY!?
Price take's Jayson and rolls him back into the ring and then rolls into the ring him self, he picks Jayson up and hooks him by the head, then hits the Perfect Tribute! He holds the bridge, one...two...kick out by Jayson, Price sits up and goes to get right to his feet, Jayson's crawling to the other side of the ring as Price just slaps him across the back of the head over and over, he then dead lifts Jayson by the waste and hits a German suplex! Price floats over and mounts Jayson laying in left hand after left hand before the ref tells him to break it up, Price storms at the ref causing him to run to the corner then turns back to Jayson, Price pulls Jayson back up and whips him to the far ropes, Price goes for a cloths line but Jayson ducks under and stops dead in his track's he goes for a wild haymaker swing but Price ducks under it leaps and connects with the Pay Back(backcracker)! Price goes for the cover one...two...
Cole: What's he doing out here!?
Price is wondering the same thing as he quickly stands and we see Steve Awesome jump down off the ring apron, Price darts towards him reaching over the top rope at him but misses he and the ref are yelling at Steve to back away from the ring, actually Price is yelling for him to come into the ring but thats neither here nor there, Jayson in the meantime is getting to his feet, as Price turns his attention to Jayson out of no where he get's hit with the Ribcracker! Jayson flops down on Price for the cover, one...hooks the leg...two...thre Price get's his arm up just before the ref's hand hits the mat!

The ref calls for the bell!
Winner of the match by DQ and STILL XHF United States Champion: Price.
Steve Awesome slides into the ring leaving his trench coat on the outside as soon as the ref calls for the bell. Steve and Jayson start to lay in the boots on the fallen Messhia as Price covers up, Price tries to get to his feet but keeps getting met with boots to the side and head, Steve yells for Jayson to lift him up, Jayson does then whips Price to the far ropes, Price catches him self on the ropes however and stops him self then comes charging back at Jayson who ducks, Steve get's hit with a running neckbreaker by Price and Jayson holds his head in shock Price gets to his feet and stalks Jayson down to the corner who now has his hands up like hey man just kidding around! Steve how ever is back to his feet and comes up behind Price turns him around and fisherman carry's him up to his shoulders looking to hit the SteveKO! Steve connects in the center of the ring and the two men continue to attack Price as he's down.
Cole: This is a two on one mugging!
King: Aint it great?
It was two on one until two figures come leaping up and over the guard rails wearing black baggy outfits and black faceless Halloween hood masks. Both men slide into the ring where Steve and Jayson turn their attention to the hooded men, the two men in black go on the attack exchanging lefts and rights with Jayson and Steve, the bigger man of the two takes on Steve as the smaller of the two takes Jayson. The one attacking Jayson hit's him with stiff knife hand chops driving him to the corner, he then floats over hooking his chin and drops to the floor hanging Jayson with the rope, he then drags Jayson out of the ring and whips him to the guard rail. The man charges in leaps off of Jayson's knee and hits him with a back flip knife kick, lands on both feet and hits a round house kick square in the jaw with a crack that echoes around the arena.
Cole: Oh my god he almost decapitated The Hardcore Champion!
King: That was amazing!
The fans are loving it, as the man in the ring attacks Steve Awesome, he kicks a stiff kick to the gut in and doubles The Awesome one over hooks his head between his legs and lifts him up into a powerbomb, but instead of drilling him down to the mat he toss's Steve into the corner back first into the turnbuckles the man goes to hook Steve up over his shoulders but Price stops him and he drops Steve to his feet, Price quickly hits the Price Crash and Steve Awesome bounces off the mat and up between the bottom and middle rope to the outside, the other man comes sliding into the ring and hands Price his XHF United States title.
Cole: Who the hell are these two!?
King: I didnt know Price had any friends!
The two men raise Price's hand in victory as Price's music hits but out comes Zero Tolerance charging down the ramp way, Price and his two friends scatter out of the ring as Zero hits the ring and Price grins up to the big man as they head up the ramp, Zero is yelling for all of them to get back into the ring and Price shakes his head no as he continues back up the ramp backwards, he grins and taps his head like he's smarter then that.
Cole: The numbers game between Steve Awesome and Price just got evened out.
King: I'll say...

*Following a short video intro for the event we open up to the night's frenzied arena crowd with the official Gastro event banner on the Xtreme-Tron, explosions going off all over the place and the usual show theme for our weekly broadcast playing loudly across the PA System. We then zoom over to ringside moments later and the theme ends as the action is about to begin for tonight with the first in-ring activity on this week's live edition of Gastro....*
*The lights dim to a black and blue aura, cue the plucking of a guitar, and Serj tankian's voice humming over the PA system.
SO I FELT LIKE THE BIGGEST ASS...HOLE!
Felt like the biggest asshole
when I killed your rock and roll
Mow down the sexy people
Rob Arnold runs out onto the stage to the sound of "Kill Rock 'N' Roll" By System Of A Down. He immediately recognizes the negative heat from the crowd and feeds from it, laughing at them. Smirking as per usual he moves onto the ramp. He pauses half way down and smiles. He then grabs the towel on his head and throws it to the floor, causing three white columns to fly up behind him.
Every time I look in your eyes, every day I'm watching you die
All the thoughts I see in you about how I
Rob walks on down towards the ring and then jogs the final few steps, and placing a knee on the apron. He pauses for another smirk, and then climbs in via the second rope and into the ring.
So I felt like the biggest asshole
(felt like the biggest asshole)
When I killed your rock n roll
(Mow down the sexy people)
Rob walks to a turnbuckle and climbs it, before raising his arms in the air with a smirk. He climbs down, and removes the coat, before moving into the corner of the ring.*
Cole: Here comes Rob Arnold! A man on a mission tonight!
King: To retain his title, and beat that jerk Mr. Wrestling V!
*Generic music plays and Mr. Wrestling V comes out and sternly walks to the ring.*
King: What is Mr. Wrestling V's deal anyway?
Cole: It's not "V" its "five!"
King: It says V on the screen.
Cole: It's a Roman numeral!
King: You're a Roman numeral.

The bell rings and Mr. Wrestling immediately charges at Rob and attacks with forearms to the face. Rob pushes Mr. Wrestling away, but he runs back, but Rob side steps him and delivers a drop toe hold. Mr. Wrestling gets up and Rob grabs him by the throat. Mr. Wrestling knocks his hand away and kicks him in the gut. Mr. Wrestling then lifts Rob up onto his shoulders, but Rob falls off and grabs Mr. Wrestling by the waist and hits a german suplex. Rob holds onto Mr. Wrestling and gets up again to go for another, but Mr. Wrestling does a standing switch and delivers a german of his own. Mr Wrestling gets up and stomps on Rob. He then pulls him up by the hair and whips him into the corner. Mr. Wrestling charges in with a knee lift. He then grabs Rob for a bulldog, but Rob pushes him away and Mr. Wrestling lands on his back. He holds his back in pain. He sits up and Rob runs from behind and delivers a neck whip Perfect style and Mr. Wrestling rolls around holding his neck in pain.
Cole: Ouch!
King: Rob is vicious.
Rob pulls Mr. Wrestling up and sets him up for his Ciderfication, but Mr. Wrestling elbows Rob a few times in the side of the head. Mr. Wrestling then gets behind Rob grabbing his arms and setting him up for the X'ed Out, but Rob hits a back headbutt to get out of it. Rob then turns around into a superkick! Mr. Wrestling staggers back and holds the ropes to help himself stay standing. He then starts to make his way to Rob when Snake slides into the ring! Snake spears Mr. Wrestling and starts wailing away with punches!
Winner by DQ: Mr. Wrestling V
Cole: Hey! What about the match!
King: I don't think he cares.
Mr. Wrestling tries to cover up. Snake pulls Mr. Wrestling up off the mat and goes to kick him, but Mr. Wrestling blocks. He throws the foot away and delivers a throat thrust to Snake. He then grabs him for the Closure, but Snake shoves him away and Rob hits Mr. Wrestling with a high leg clothesline. This staggers him back into Snake, who delivers the Snake Bite! Snake and Rob then get on top of Mr. Wrestling and start wailing away with fists. Rob turns Mr. Wrestling over onto his stomach and gets him in a camel clutch. Snake calls for a mic.
: I'm tired of this! Two months this guys been here, and he's been nothing but a thorn in my side since he first showed up. You're supposed to be some sort of legend? Some sort of "great" wrestler that sorry excuse for a commissioner keeps talking about!? Look at you now! Let's find out just who the hell you are!
Snake throws the mic away and goes down to the head of Mr. Wrestling V. He starts pulling away at the strings on the back of the mask. Mr. Wrestling is squirming around trying to break free, but Rob is keeping him held down. Snake punches him in the back of the head a few more times. Snake starts yanking at the mask and finally pulls it free to reveal...Chris Kanyon!
Cole: Holy crap, it's the commissioner!
King: I thought he was still on the shelf!
Snake and Rob of course look shocked. They look at each other and back at Kanyon. Rob lets go of the Commish and he and Snake stand up and celebrate the unmasking of Mr. Wrestling. They leave the ring to the tune of Hoobastanks Out of Control." Kanyon starts to wake up and realizes he's mask-less. He covers up his face and quickly rolls out of the ring and runs up the ramp.
King: Well, I don't know what to make of this.
Cole: This can't be good, that much I know.
*Following a short commercial break we return as the lights in the arena go fully down to black. Suddenly two giant pyros shoot off from either side of the stage as the crowd is slammed into the chorus of Electric Light Orchestras variation on In the Hall of the Mountain King. The Xtreme-Tron looks as if a hole is being burned through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird, suddenly, the entire area of the bird lights up with flames, a phoenix. The letters XHF fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on with shots of Mongo's career within the phoenix. The song continues as a black bird image emblazoned with XHF is projected onto the ring mat. The letters H and F are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross forming an X. As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks under the large X above him. He then makes his way down to the ring amidst a cheering crowd. Upon reaching the ring Mongo looks around at the crowd and then pulls out his microphone.*
What a night, huh folks? And what a night we had on Sunday! I took a gamble and by sheer luck the Xtreme Hardcore Federation was freed from the horrible clutches of James Mueller!
*Cheers, lightish, I mean, is Mongo that much better?*
But, I must give James some credit, he has opened my eyes and now I understand that the Xtreme Hardcore Federation needs some more life kicked into it! And with that, and in celebration of retaining my company with the help of a few comrades, I have decided to do what I promised I would do when I felt the time was right. That is right ladies and gentlemen, I am calling in the big list!
*Cheers from the crowd.*
Now my original plan was to host a tournament amongst the men on the big list that would lead to a confrontation between the final two men for the Xtreme Hardcore Federation World Heavyweight Championship. However, since I have decided to do it now, so close to The Rumble, I feel it would better serve the company to hold the tournament in order to crown only one of two contenders at The Rumble. That way the winner of the tournament would go on to face the winner of the Rumble match itself at Night of Champions for the Championship!
*More cheers.*
However, there are a few flaws in that plan. The first flaw that came to mind is that the number of people on the list is uneven, thus one would have to have a bye into the next round. And I can think of no fair way in determining who in fact gets the bye. This problem, however, was solved for me earlier tonight as I was told that Mr. Wrestling V was unmasked, and proved, in fact, not to be Mr. Wrestling V. As the list clearly states, Mr. Wrestling V is in the tournament, not his true identity. Therefore, he has been disqualified. So, happily one would presume that this tournament could take place over the next couple of weeks on Gastro and Pyro!
*Cheers, that sounds like fun!*
However, theres also a flaw in that plan. You see, the television company was rather aggravated by James Mueller voiding our contract of Pyro and are being most unwelcoming about brining it back on the air. So, we in fact only have a couple of shows between now and the Rumble, so a tournament would have to be heavily condensed. Which is why next week on Gastro, we will instead have two three-way matches to determine the final two men in the Race for the List! These men shall face off for one of the main-event slots at Night of Champions. The other slot will of course be filled by The Rumble winner. I should note also that those who are eliminated in the mini-tournament for the Lists spot at Night of Champions are also eligible for The Rumble.
*He pauses.*
Phew, that was a mouthful. But anyway, Im sure you all are waiting for me to announce the two three-way matches for next week. In the first one we shall have Myself facing off against Steve Awesome and Rob Arnold. In the second shall be Snake versus Mr. X- the devil that he is- and Zero Tolerance. Having said that folks, let the games begin!
*More cheers.*
Alright then! On with the show!
*In the Hall of the Mountain King plays as Mongo leaves the ringside area.*
*Without warning, the whole arena goes dark. The sound system stops. People start to get restless and begin to talk to each other, talk on their cell phones or go to the concession stands. Then without a second warning "Washing Away Me In The Tides" by Trivium begins to play. Once the vocals of Matt Heafy begin to take the arena over, red strobe light kicks up.
"Disgusted with what I see
So many pieces left of you and me
Glass falls like rain
Ill crucify you for this pain
Tonight I leave this town
In love Id burn it all down
To the ground (Youre nothing to me)
To the ground (Youre fucking killing me)"
Red sparks fly down from the ceiling as the lights are back on. Reckless Jack stands amidst the sparks as with his arms out.
"Abandon all hope
Washing away me in the tides
Unclenching the fists
Made round my neck
Accepting the end"
Once he brings them back in; he starts to walk down to the ring, slapping hands with the many fans. Reckless Jack goes around ringside, still high fiving the fans until he has completed the trip around. He then walks up the ring steps and enters through the middle rope. Reckless Jack then goes to the closest turnbuckle and proceeds to look out into the crowd before back flipping off. A few fans take a picture as he hops off and does the same on the opposite side of the ring. Reckless Jack finally stands in the middle of the ring. While his music fades away, he makes sure his kickpads are in place before getting ready for the match.*
Cole: Pretty intense entrance and return in general there for our former Junior-Heavyweight Champ in Reckless Jack.
King: Indeed, but if all goes as planned for himself he may very well walk out of that ring later tonight with Junior Heavyweight Gold around his waist for an all-time record fourth time ever in XHF!
Cole: Good point, but in order to get to that major milestone and prove he's still a huge force to be reckoned with he'll of course have to go through THIS man who's about to enter the squared circle...
*"All about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy blasts over the P.A. Obsidian walks out eating nachos and with the Junior-Heavyweight Title strapped around his waist. 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.*
Cole: And here is the Junior Heavyweight Champ himself Obsidian!
King: That he is, and through all his wars with everyone else lately for the belt he's proven time and time again to be downright deadly inside an XHF ring, so let's just hope for Jack's sake he didn't make what turns out to be the worst mistake of his entire career by provoking this man into tonight's title match the way he has at Xtraction...
XHF Junior-Heavyweight Championship Singles Match
Reckless Jack vs. Obsidian
Moments later the bell rings and both men are already in a grappling position, with Reckless Jack losing control in the early beginning. Obsidian has control of a grapple, pushing him into the corner. As the ref breaks it up, then pushes Obsidian out of the corner. Jack takes this opportunity to poke Obsidian in the eye. As the ref is between them, Obsidian returns the favor and pokes him in both eyes. They both come out of the corner grabbing their eyes, when Obsidian kicks Jack in the proverbial bread basket, then slams him head down on his knee. He runs off the ropes and hits a running knee lift to the chin on Jack. he goes down and Obsidian goes for a pin. He only gets a two count on him. Obsidian stays on offense, or at least tries to when Jack suddenly elbows him in the chest. He tries to walk away but he pulls him down to the mat with his hair. He gets a stiff warning from the referee, which he pays no attention to at the moment. Then lays in some boots to Jack, and then drops a knee across the throat of Jack. He runs off the ropes and drops quick legdrops to Jack's face. He does this three times before picking him up. He sends shots into the chest of Jack, then he hunches over. He attempts a powerbomb but Jack reverses it and hits a DDT. Right away he gets up and heads over to the corner, possibly going for a moonsault. Obsidian takes too much time however and is greeted with an elbow to his back. Obsidian goes beneath him and sets up for a powerbomb and connects with it. Still standing, he once again picks him up and hits another emphatic powerbomb!
Cole: This match looks like it's going to pick up soon.
King: Yes, but our former Junior Heavyweight Champion in Jack has a new face!
Back in the ring Obsidian finally pins Jack's shoulders to the mat but is only granted a two count after Jack kicks out. He argues with the ref but this conveniently allows Jack to get up in the meantime. He kicks Obsidian in the back. He then jumps on Obsidian's back, trying to lock on a sleeperhold. Obsidian struggles for awhile, but pulls him over his head. Jack however lands cleanly on his feet and Obsidian in turn grapples behind him. Obsidian pushes him into the corner, where the referee himself just happens to be standing. That brief moment of distraction allows him to kick Obsidian for a blatant low blow! However the referee couldn't see it take place.
Cole: OUCH!
King: ...We've been broadcasting for XHF for over half a decade now... You're shocked after a simple low blow Cole?
Jack sadistically smiles now. He heads to the apron and springboards into the ring, jumps across to the other set of ropes and hits a brilliant looking moonsault. All perfect for a pin, but he only gets a two count somehow! Jack remains steadily on offense though, by soccer kicking Obsidian in the ribs. He rolls over on the mat, showing signs of obvious pain. He soon gets him to his feet, and then throws him off the ropes. Jack attempts a clothesline as he bounces back at him but misses horribly. On the Obsidian rebound, he jumps back and kicks the air. Jack then manages to connect with a swift kick to the ribs in return. Wasting no time, he heads to the top rope and waits for Obsidian to get up. Off he goes right away with a missle dropkick and yet again he connects! He then gets a little TOO greedy and once again goes for the same exact maneuver in an apparent show of arrogance. This time his dropkick is greeted with another missle dropkick, from Obsidian, to his body. They both roll around in pain as the referee makes a standing ten count. 123they begin to move and stand a little. 45and they both make it to their feet. Obsidian swings at Jack, who blocks it. He then kicks him in the midsection, and attempts to hit another DDT but Obsidian rolls out of it and grabs his head. Obsidian lifts him up for an atomic drop but instead puts his hand on his chest and moves his knee out more. He pushes down on his chest, and shortly thereafter Jack's spine lands right on his knee. He rolls around grabbing his back in pain, as Obsidian just looks on at him, stalking him somewhat and waiting for the right opportunity to pounce once more.
Cole: Obsidian has one hell of a determined look on his face!
King: Yep uh oh, this definitely can't mean anything good for Reckless Jack!
Jack continues to roll around, as Obsidian runs off the ropes and hits a huge leg drop right to the face of Jack. Making sure he's out cold, he picks him up once again. Jack was playing possum though it seems, as he tries for an arm drag but it's blocked right away by Obsidian. In return, he low blows Obsidian once again, out of sight from the referee and then rolls him up. he gets the 12and a last second kickout from Obsidian. Jack is extremely frustrated now, as he heads to the top turnbuckle. Looking for the 450 splash he sets himself up there but once as he gets up, we find the referee looking down upon the fallen Obsidian, who's taken quite a beating by this point in the contest. As soon as this happens, we have none other than shockingly MATT HICKS who jumps a nearby crowd barrier outside the ring and slides quickly into the ring itself. Once inside a maniacal looking Hicks grabs Reckless Jack and due to Jack's fatigue from the match manages to pick him up and plant him directly down to the mat with a massive spinebuster before he can react whatsoever! Meanwhile the referee didn't see any of this but when he finally turns back around he finds Reckless Jack alone on the ring mat, completely unconscious while the coniving Matt Hicks stands just outside the ring with an innocent yet mischievous type of demeanor smeared across his face. At spotting him nearby the ref obviously suspects something to have occured involving Hicks and Jack but due to having no immediate visual evidence backing it up he can only give Hicks a stern warning to stay outside the ring, which accordingly Hicks is glad to abide by since his damage here has already been done as it were. Simultaneously though Obsidian, who's also still clueless as to of any of this just now, crawls over and conveniently enough drapes an arm over Reckless Jack and the referee slides down into position for the count: One....Two......THREE!
Winner via Pinfall and STILL XHF Junior Heavyweight Champion: Obsidian!
Cole: Well I'll be damned, Obsidian has won the match and blatently retrained the title off an unsuspecting Reckless Jack, and by god it's all thanks for some completely bizarre and unknown reason to that pompous SOB Matt Hicks of all people!
King: Well ironically enough I don't think Hicks did any of this whatsoever to help Obsidian here as far as the belt's concerned Cole. As has been well documented over time those two have no love lost whatsoever after Hicks' falling out with Chris Kanyon himself a while back, so I highly doubt these two are in cahoots again with one another by any means. Although I'm most certainly looking forward to hearing Hicks' explanation soon enough for these actions of his so hopefully we'll all get some good reasoning out of him one way or another soon enough.
*Suddenly after another break 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.
Lets 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.*
Cole: Jayson might have gotten him self into a big pile here.
King: He's going to die.
*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.*
King: Price has a wicked grin on his face.
Cole: I feel bad for Jayson.
XHF United States Championship Singles Match
Jayson Matthews vs. Price
Price starts jawing away as the ref calls for the bell, the two men met up in the middle of the ring and tie up, Jayson uses his quickness and quickly turns to a side headlock, then he flips Price over his hip to the mat holding the headlock, Price tryies to counter with a head scissor but Jayson squirms his head out, Jayson applies the pressure then floats over to a half nelson cover, not even a one as Price easly kicks out and slides away from Jayson and pops to his feet, Jayson tap's his head as if he's smarter then Price, Price just grins right back at the young man and nods his head as they circle around each other once more before locking up, Price this time quickly turns it into a side headlock, then he lets go and takes Jayson down with a belly to back take down, he floats over and locks in a front headlock, he slaps the top of Jayson's head before floating over once more into a rear chin lock, he yells down at Jayson. He releases the hold and stands almost half dancing away from Jayson. Jayson sits up with a look of frustration on is face, Price motions for him to get back to his feet.
King: Price is having fun out there.
Cole: And that scares me.
The two men go to lock up again but this time Price counters with a kick to the gut, then a hard left handed knife hand chop, then another, then another driving Jayson back to the corner, Price then grab's Jayson's arm and whips him across the ring to the other corner and comes charging in with a yakuza kick, Jayson ducks out of the way just in time and Price get's hung up on the top rope, Jayson takes quick advantage of this and starts kicking away at Price's leg's working over the quad and thigh before Price falls backwards to the mat to get his leg free, as he tries to get back to his feet Jayson helps him hooking Price's leg and then lifting and dropping Price's leg down over his knee with a shin breaker. Jayson goes for a quick over, one...kick out.
Cole: Smart wrestling by Jayson here..wait...did I just really use the term smart and Jayson in the same sentence?
King: Your fired.
Jayson continues to work over the leg stomping on the knee joint, he then drags Price towards the corner and climbs to the top rope, he comes flying off with a knee drop right across Price's leg, Price holds his leg as he yells out and Jayson rolls throw the move holding his knee for a second also, he stands and shakes it out limping just a tad as he gets back to Price, he goes for a quick cover again, one..kick out easy by Price, Jayson get's Price to his feet and shoves him into the corner, he then lay's in a few kicks to the gut as he holds the ropes then starts to choke Price with his boot, the ref gives him up to a 4 count before he releases the choke. Jayson then walks to the center of the ring taunting the fans before turning quickly and charging back in at Price with a flying body attack, Price comes wobbling out of the corner as Jayson pushes him from the back of the head down to the mat, Jayson then leaps up to the top rope and turns back to face the ring, he looks out to the crowd once more taunting them and showing off, he then measures Price up and comes flying off the top rope with I Hate Long Division (Shooting Star press into an elbow drop) but Price counters by getting his knees up in time to take the blow, Jayson hits the mat like a fish flopping around holding his arm as Price rolls out of the ring holding his knee.
Cole: Price was on the ropes there for a bit until that counter.
King: But how much damage did it do to him in the process?
Price takes his time outside the ring to walk off his injured leg as Jayson him self gets to his feet in the ring, Jayson eye's Price pacing outside and comes running towards the Messiah he leaps up and over the top rope going for a cross body but Price sidesteps and pushes Jayson down towards the floor with a thud. Price just looks down at the younger man and shakes his head, he then rolls into the ring to break the count then back out and pulls Jayson to his feet, he then whips Jayson right into the stairs with a loud crash he turns to the fans pounds his chest and does the crucifix pose before turning back to Jayson.
Cole: Price's a fighter and a champion!
King: You dont SAY!?

He holds the bridge, one...two...kick out by Jayson, Price sits up and goes to get right to his feet, Jayson's crawling to the other side of the ring as Price just slaps him across the back of the head over and over, he then dead lifts Jayson by the waste and hits a German suplex! Price floats over and mounts Jayson laying in left hand after left hand before the ref tells him to break it up, Price storms at the ref causing him to run to the corner then turns back to Jayson, Price pulls Jayson back up and whips him to the far ropes, Price goes for a cloths line but Jayson ducks under and stops dead in his track's he goes for a wild haymaker swing but Price ducks under it leaps and connects with the Pay Back(backcracker)! Price goes for the cover one...two...
Cole: What's he doing out here!?
Price is wondering the same thing as he quickly stands and we see Steve Awesome jump down off the ring apron, Price darts towards him reaching over the top rope at him but misses he and the ref are yelling at Steve to back away from the ring, actually Price is yelling for him to come into the ring but thats neither here nor there, Jayson in the meantime is getting to his feet, as Price turns his attention to Jayson out of no where he get's hit with the Ribcracker!

The ref calls for the bell!
Winner of the match by DQ and STILL XHF United States Champion: Price.
Steve Awesome slides into the ring leaving his trench coat on the outside as soon as the ref calls for the bell. Steve and Jayson start to lay in the boots on the fallen Messhia as Price covers up, Price tries to get to his feet but keeps getting met with boots to the side and head, Steve yells for Jayson to lift him up, Jayson does then whips Price to the far ropes, Price catches him self on the ropes however and stops him self then comes charging back at Jayson who ducks, Steve get's hit with a running neckbreaker by Price and Jayson holds his head in shock Price gets to his feet and stalks Jayson down to the corner who now has his hands up like hey man just kidding around! Steve how ever is back to his feet and comes up behind Price turns him around and fisherman carry's him up to his shoulders looking to hit the SteveKO! Steve connects in the center of the ring and the two men continue to attack Price as he's down.
Cole: This is a two on one mugging!
King: Aint it great?
It was two on one until two figures come leaping up and over the guard rails wearing black baggy outfits and black faceless Halloween hood masks. Both men slide into the ring where Steve and Jayson turn their attention to the hooded men, the two men in black go on the attack exchanging lefts and rights with Jayson and Steve, the bigger man of the two takes on Steve as the smaller of the two takes Jayson. The one attacking Jayson hit's him with stiff knife hand chops driving him to the corner, he then floats over hooking his chin and drops to the floor hanging Jayson with the rope, he then drags Jayson out of the ring and whips him to the guard rail. The man charges in leaps off of Jayson's knee and hits him with a back flip knife kick, lands on both feet and hits a round house kick square in the jaw with a crack that echoes around the arena.
Cole: Oh my god he almost decapitated The Hardcore Champion!
King: That was amazing!
The fans are loving it, as the man in the ring attacks Steve Awesome, he kicks a stiff kick to the gut in and doubles The Awesome one over hooks his head between his legs and lifts him up into a powerbomb, but instead of drilling him down to the mat he toss's Steve into the corner back first into the turnbuckles the man goes to hook Steve up over his shoulders but Price stops him and he drops Steve to his feet, Price quickly hits the Price Crash and Steve Awesome bounces off the mat and up between the bottom and middle rope to the outside, the other man comes sliding into the ring and hands Price his XHF United States title.
Cole: Who the hell are these two!?
King: I didnt know Price had any friends!
The two men raise Price's hand in victory as Price's music hits but out comes Zero Tolerance charging down the ramp way, Price and his two friends scatter out of the ring as Zero hits the ring and Price grins up to the big man as they head up the ramp, Zero is yelling for all of them to get back into the ring and Price shakes his head no as he continues back up the ramp backwards, he grins and taps his head like he's smarter then that.
Cole: The numbers game between Steve Awesome and Price just got evened out.
King: I'll say...
