February 15th, 2008
The Sommet Center
Nashville, Tennessee[/b]
Stadium Capacity: 17,113
*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....*
*As the lights in the arena flicker, the fans jump to their feet momentarily in anticipation. The blaring opening guitars of Stone Sour's "Reborn" begin to blast through the speakers, and as this happens, the following is played over the Xtreme Tron, followed by several in-ring clips of MGK facing various opponents.
Finally, MGK makes his way out from backstage, dressed in his ring attire, with black tape covering up his hands and wrists. In white, the letters KO are written on the backs of his hands on the tape. He stands on the entrance stage for a few seconds. He then gets onto the ring apron, and enters the ring. Dropping down to one knee in the center of the ring, he crosses his arms over his chest to form an X, as a blue spotlight falls down on him alone, the rest of the arena caught up in darkness. MGK then stands up. He goes to the ring announcer and grabs him self a mic as his music dies down but the cheer of the fans get's louder.*
Enough of the games and showboating James you said you have proof you said you have a "bombshell" to drop on me, so here I am James! Let's cut the crap an...
*We suddenly hear JFK's voice come on over the P.A. system before seeing his face on the Xtreme-Tron.*
-Actually, how about you just shut the hell up for a second here and let someone else talk for once...little brother.
*The fans boo as JFK's face takes over the Xtreme-Tron, he has that sly grin on his face as it takes up the whole view.*
Blah blah blah that's all you ever do Mikey, is talk talk talk cry cry cry bitch and moan bitch and moan SHUT THE HELL UP FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE AND JUST.....listen. For the past year Mikey you've been dodging me, you've been ducking me, you've been SCARED of me. When I first came to the XHF they loved the fact that I was your "long lost brother", they loved the fact that I was coming after you for revenge, they loved the fact that I had a fire burning inside of me to do just what I said I was going to do, yet they kept me from you. Management LOVED me they wanted to see MGK vs JFK...but not yet....they said...we cant afford to lose MGK for a few months they said, they KNOW what I am going to do to you when I get my hands on you Mikey...and now...now they can't protect you anymore...now they cant hide you from me anymore...and you Mikey...you can no longer hide from the TRUTH.
*JFK stands and moves off camera behind him we see a woman, not just any woman, MGK recognizes her right away, his face goes pale, but his eyes fill with anger.*
SO HELP ME GOD JAMES IF YOU...
SO HELP ME GOD WHAT MIKE!? HUH!? YOU GOING TO HUNT ME DOWN?! HUH!? WHATCHA GOING TO DO MIKEY IM IN FORT LAUDERDALE YOURE STUCK IN TENNESSEE!
*The woman jumps a bit as the two men yell back and forth at each other, JFK sides down in the couch next to her, she's in a chair facing the camera with a coffee table that JFK must have been sitting on before is in front of her JFK looks over to the lady with a look of disgust on his face.*
Dont worry Mikey...I havent laid a finger on her....have I mother?
*She just looks away and JFK chuckles a bit.*
Say hi to the nice folks at home mother, show them how "sweet" and "innocent" you can be before I completely tarnish and ruin you and Mikey here on live television.
"Youre insane."
Am I mother? I am I really? I'm not the one that picked one son over the other, I am not the person that LIED to her spouse about who Baby Mikey's father was, I am not the one that tore apart and ruined a happy family because I was a bitter old woman! But you mother...you! You had no problems ruining our happy family none what so ever!
"You know NOTHING!"
*She yells right in his face, he turns his head away from her looking away with anger in his eyes, his head snaps back towards her and she jumps, he holds up an evelope.*
Nothing mother? Nothing!? I know for a FACT that you are nothing more then a two bit lying mat rat WHORE! THATS WHAT I KNOW....mother.
*He opens the envelope and hands her the paper inside.*
Do you understand what that say's mother? Are you smart enough to be able to read the TRUTH before your very eyes, what's that say mother? WHAT THAT FUCKING SAY ABOUT YOUR LITTLE BOY MIKEY!? WHOSE IT SAY IS HIS TRUE FATHER!?
*She holds her head low she crumbles up the paper and throws it to the side.*
"I've always known the truth James, I knew who his father was all along, it was never about Baby Mikey though James, it was about protecting him...from you."
*JFK grinds his jaw not likening where this is going expecting more of a fight from the lady.*
"You were always an evil and vile little child James, the moment you were born you were nothing more then a selfish BRAT. The moment you could start walking you starting hurting things, you tortured the dog James!"
*His jaw grinds even more.*
Youre a liar!
"NO! I am tired of lying! Your father told you that story to protect the family! We were afraid of what you could do to the baby! The night before you and your father left the house for good you tried to smoother the baby with a pillow! AND NOW LOOK AT YOU!"
*JFK grabs her by the jaw to shut her up and he gets right into her face.*
Yes...look at me mother....look into my eyes, see the fire that burns, you could have saved me mother, you could have tried to save me from becoming the monster that I have become, you could have prevented all of this mother by being what you never were....a mother. You think I was evil and vile as a CHILD mother? You think you could protect Mikey from me? No one can protect him anymore mother...the truth is out there, he now has to face his past, he now has to accept that this...evil...vile human being is in-fact his own flesh and blood, and come the Rumble mother...no one...and nothing will be able to save him from me, and your going to be there mother...front row...to watch us destroy one another...it's only fitting mother...that you get to watch first hand, up close and personal, to what your lies have TRUELY done to this family.
*JFK continues to hold her jaw as he turns his head to the camera.*
At the Rumble Mikey you can no longer run and hide, the match has been signed, the match will happen, JFK Vs MGK finally, but this isnt going to be any ordinary match Mikey...you and me we cant be contained by rules, my anger for you can not be limited by regulations that's why I've requested this match, and Kaynon granted it. At the Rumble Mikey you and I will be going one on one in a Last Man Standing match, where there will HAVE to be a winner. There is no escaping this time Mikey, there is no denying the FACTS...and mother you get to watch how...special...it'll be a grand 'ole family reunion.
*JFK turns his head back their mother, and gives her a grin and then lets her go. We fade out briefly to commercial with a wave of boos coming from all across the crowd.*
*The lights in the arena go down to black as we return from the break. 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.*
*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 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.*
"Big List" Tournament Triple Threat Semifinals Match #1
Mongo the Destroyer vs. Steve Awesome vs. Rob Arnold
The bell rings and Steve Awesome and Rob Arnold immediately get face to face and start talking smack to each other. Mongo himself soon tries to butt in, but they both shove him away. They then start yelling at each other once again. Mongo however comes back and abruptly slaps both of them! Rob Arnold and Steve Awesome both look at him with rage in their eyes. Upon noticing their reactions he comically points at them to go back to yelling at each other, but its far too late for that now though. Arnold and Awesome both start hitting Mongo with forearms in unison. They then irish whip the big man to the ropes and hit a double back body drop on him in return! Mongo gets up a bit loopy and Awesome hits him from behind with a chop block. Rob Arnold then hits a leg drop on the same leg that was attacked. Mongo rolls around holding his leg and Awesome grabs it and lifts, then slams it down into the mat. Rob Arnold picks Mongo up and hits a knee breaker. Mongo hops around holding his knee and Arnold/Awesome grab him for a double hip toss over the top rope and all the way to the outside!
Cole: Wow looks like these two are actually on the same page for once when it comes to taking out our owner!
King: Perhaps, though I have a sneaky suspicion this newfound "teamwork" of theirs is short-lived...
After watching Mongo land hard below both Arnold and Awesome look like they're about to high five, but suddenly both stop and look at each other mid-five. They then start punching each other back and forth instead! Rob Arnold starts to win out and then starts hitting Awesome with elbows and knees. He knocks Awesome into the corner, then backs up and charges for a clothesline, but Awesome gets his feet directly up into Rob Arnold's face. Rob staggers back and Steve charges out of the corner with a spinning wheel kick. Steve then gets up to his feet and quickly hits a standing leg drop on Arnold. He then covers, but only gets a one. Both get on their feet and Awesome goes for a punch, but Rob Arnold wisely blocks and goes for a clothesline, but Awesome ducks under, then grabs Arnold and hits a devestating spinebuster! out of nowhere Meanwhile Mongo is back up and limps hesitantly into the ring. He hits the distracted Steve Awesome in the back with a forearm. He then grabs him and hits a reverse DDT. Rob Arnold is now getting up and Mongo runs and gets a clothesline on Arnold that sends him clear out of the ring. Mongo turns back to Awesome and hits a flying forearm on him. He then picks Steve Awesome up and whips him toward the corner, but Awesome reverses along the way. Awesome charges in afterward with a running elbow. He then grabs Mongo's bad leg from earlier on and places it over the middle rope and pulls on it for a four count. He then runs to the opposite side of the ring and bounces off the ropes, and comes back with a dropkick to the elevated knee! Mongo screams out in agony and falls to the mat holding his knee. Rob Arnold slides back into the ring from behind Awesome and slowly creeps up behind him, looking to apparently set up for a deadly Bristol Driver, but unfortunately Awesome knows him far too well by this point and dodges out of the way just in time. Awesome goes behind Arnold and pushes him towards the ropes. He flips around and goes over the ropes, looking to lock in the SteveVD Player, aka a Crossface Chicken Wing, but Arnold knows that all too well too and turns around. He holds Awesome's legs and pulls him off the ropes and proceeds to hit a massive reverse powerbomb! He then rolls Awesome over for a pin. 1, 2, kickout!
King: Wow, these two know really do each other too well.
Cole: That they do it seems.
Elsewhere in the ring Mongo gets up, still noticably limping. Rob Arnold turns and sees him up. Arnold goes to punch him, but Mongo blocks with a few forceful punches of his own. The much smaller man in Rob manages to stop his growing momentum with a kick to the knee. He then whips Mongo to the ropes, but Mongo jumps up to the second one and springboards back into a DDT on Arnold somehow! He covers. 1, 2, kickout! Mongo gets up and Steve Awesome is starting to stand nearby. Mongo lunges over and hits Awesome with a vicious forearm moments later. Mongo then goes over to the nearest corner and slowly climbs up the turnbuckle while both opponents remain down on the canvus. Due to his bad leg though, it takes him a little too long and Steve Awesome is able to get to him and push his leg so he crotches himself down across the top rope! He falls back into the ring holding his groin area and meanwhile Awesome then jumps up on the turnbuckle and hits a huge frog splash down right away onto Mongo! He stays on for the pin. 1, 2, -but NO Rob Arnold returns to break up the count just in time! Arnold then pulls Awesome up and clubs him in the back of the head. He then bends him over and turns him around to hit a running powerbomb! He hooks for the pin. 1, 2, and another last second kickout! A frustrated looking Arnold stands over Steve Awesome and starts to deliver the Lancaster Bomber, but Mongo is back up and dropkicks Arnold in the back before he can get going in the maneuver full steam! As he dropkicks Rob Arnold, he falls onto Steve Awesome with a splash. 1, 2, kickout! Mongo gets up and Rob Arnold grabs him from behind with a half nelson, he then lifts him and then drops him into a backbreaker! He then grabs Mongo's bad leg and locks in the spinning toe hold. Mongo is screaming loudly in pain. Soon enough Mongo is reaching out for the ropes as Arnold turns again. Arnold is twisting and twisting and Mongo looks just about ready to tap when Steve Awesome comes from behind with a schoolboy on Arnold! 1, 2, Thre-NO, Kickout!
Cole: WOW, what action we're witnessing here tonight with so much on the line in this contest!
King: Yep looks like the intensity is really starting to pick up now and the end may be very near one way or another for these three men!
Arnold and Awesome both get to a standing position and stare down. They both roar in sheer determination and charge at each other and just start wailing away with punches and kicks. Neither man faltering. They are just beating the ever loving crap out of each other at this point, laying it all out on the line for a single spot in the finals of the Big List tourney this evening. Finally, Steve Awesome starts to win out, but then Rob Arnold hits a sly thumb to the eyes. Arnold then hits a headbutt, and then follows that up with a double underhook backbreaker to Awesome. Rob Arnold then gets grabbed from behind by Mongo and XHF's owner hits a big boot! All three men are down for a bit due to pure exhaustion. But Mongo is mostly due to the bum leg of course. Mongo soon crawls over to a corner and uses the ropes to help him stand. As he does, Steve Awesome is getting up as well. Mongo looks back to see Rob Arnold still out cold a few feet away. Mongo then climbs up to the top turnbuckle to seemingly attempt an Xtreme Legdrop on Arnold, but it seems Mr. Awesome has other ideas as he shakes the ropes and Mongo misses his landing and crotches himself on the ropes yet again! This time he hangs upside-down in the tree of woe position! Awesome stomps on him a few times and punches the bad knee. Rob Arnold is up and groggy soon after. He charges at Awesome with a running elbow, but Awesome dodges out of the way and Arnold hits the groin of MONGO by accident! Mongo falls out of the corner holding himself. Awesome grabs Arnold and lifts him for another spinebuster, but Arnold reverses into a DDT! Rob Arnold then pulls Steve Awesome up and grabs him from behind. He lifts him for a reverse brainbuster, but Awesome falls out behind Arnold. Awesome shoves him into the ropes. Rob Arnold runs back at a clothesline from Steve Awesome, but ducks. Mongo is finally back up and hits Awesome with a dropkick from the front. Mongo gets up, but Rob Arnold is still running and comes from behind with a clothesline to Mongo! Mongo looks to be out cold for the most part. Rob Arnold bends down to turn Mongo over for a pin, but before he can cover, Steve Awesome is back up and running at full speed, grabs Arnold and hits a massive running tornado DDT. Arnold rolls completely out of the ring from the impact of this. Steve Awesome then turns to see Mongo and runs up the nearest turnbuckle. He jumps off attempting a diving elbow drop for the finish but at the last possible moment Mongo moves out of the way and Awesome is greeted with a face full of canvus in response! At noticing Rob Arnold still down outside the ring Mongo is quick to take advantage of the situation as he picks up the near lifeless body of Steve Awesome, and before Awesome can react whatsoever he gets a swift kick to the gut by Mongo and upon Mongo hooking him between his legs he's lifted up and swiftly planted right back DOWN into the canvus for a picture perfect Xtreme-Edge! A very fatigued looking Mongo then slumps over for the pinfall attempt below on Awesome: One...Two.....THREE!
Winner via Pinfall AND Advancing to "Big List" Tourney Finals at the Rumble: Mongo the Destroyer!
King: Holy crap, what a match, and what a statement on behalf of Mongo to come out on top here tonight versus Awesome and Arnold, plus now he's got some definite momentum building for himself heading into the finals a few weeks from tonight!
Cole: That was a great opener for tonight's broadcast no doubt King, and now the only question left to answer is simply, who's next in Mongo's warpath toward the top?
King: Good question Cole, and one we're just about to find the answer to in mere moments from now with the main event matchup which happens to be another triple threat of sorts.
*The lights die down slowly, over the PA system the sound of hissing and rattling echoes throughout the arena. A chorus of drum beats and guitar strings thump out of the arena speakers, as Hoobastanks Out of Control drives into full motion.
Pyros stream from the top of the arena and hit the stage causing a blinding light to cover the entrance way, before slowly dying down as a figure now stands at the entrance way, lightly jumping on the spot warming up before walking into the blinding mist of light. The light dies off completely as Snake lifts his head up from the lowered position it is in. the X*Crown Title wrapped around his waist. Snake slowly walks down to the ring area as he taunts the crowd pointing to his belt. He stops at the bottom of the rampway and looks around the arena before approaching the ring and climbing in through the middle rope and moves to the middle of the ring where he stands and unclips the X*Crown belt and lifts it in his hand as he stretches out his arms awaiting the applause he deserves, before moving to the corner of the ring and stretches awaiting the start of the match.*
*Seven characters appear on the Xtreme-Tron cycling through numbers. They slowly stop on 6655321 as these words are said over the P.A.:
You're sentenced to 6 months without perole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge.
Two red pyros go off on stage forming an X. "Opium of the People" by Slipknot hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed in an X formation in front of his face. Pain Jane walks out behind him wearing a hooded cloak. He has a chain wrapped around his left arm. He slowly spreads his arms apart as Jane moves under them and runs one of her hands down his chest. Once Mr. X's arms are fully stretched, Jane removes the hood from her head and has an evil grin upon her face as she looks out into the crowd. Mr. X has a look of determination on his face. They then walk down to the ring, never changing there attitudes. Mr. X stops at the base of the ring as Jane climbs onto the apron and feels the top rope. She then looks back at Mr. X with a sadistic smile and then flips backward while holding the top rope to land on her feet in the ring. Mr. X then climbs into the ring by grabbing the top rope and pulling himself onto the apron and then stepping over the top rope. He unravels the chain from around his arm and starts to laugh. He hands the chain to Jane and she holds onto it as she leaves the ring and gets into his corner. Mr. X tightens his gloves as he awaits the match to start.*
*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. Walking to the mi
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!*
"Big List" Tournament Triple Threat Semifinals Match #2
Snake vs. Mr. X vs. Zero Tolerance
We start out the match with Snake, Mr. X and Zero Tolerance, staring at each other, all eagerly awaiting the ring of the bell. After it does, we find Mr. X and Zero Tolerance locking up. Before any moves can be done to each other at the grapple state, Snake meanwhile runs to the ropes and bounces back. Snake runs up Mr.X's back, jumps off as X is forcibly bent over and hits a flying head scissors onto Zero Tolerance himself! Upon impact, Snake rolls out of the ring, trying to get away from the fray while letting the recovering Mr. X get a piece of the downed Zero Tolerance.
Cole: Well it looks like the first blow is made, most noticably by Snake as it were.
King: The first blow usually tells us how matches unravel. When the dust is settled, will Snake come out on top and be Mongo's opponent at the Rumble later this month?
Mr. X now squats near Zero Tolerance and gives him some lefts and rights. Snake simply smirks nearby and seemingly lets the two tear into each other so he can easily finish the match off at some point soon. Zero Tolerance is taking quite a beating from X but using his strong, flexible body, he uses his legs to grasp a good hold on Mr. X. He soon rolls around and gets him into a leg submission, more specifically, a Half Boston Crab. Mr. X begins to yell and look around for some rope to latch onto, and sure enough he finds exactly that with his other leg. The referee tells Zero Tolerance to get off him, and he does.
Cole: X and Zero Tolerance both had some pretty good moves on each other just.
King: Yeah but what about Snake though!? He isn't in the action whatsoever right now, except for that one move earlier to instigate all this brawling between the other two. It seems he could be strategizing still to sneak in and still the victory out from under these two in typical Snake fashion!
Snake continues to wait at the corner of the ring and he watches Mr. X and Zero Tolerance slowly get back to their feet. Zero Tolerance makes it up first and helps X up but as he gets up, he slaps Zero Tolerance's hands away from him. Mr. X grabs Zero Tolerance and Irishwhips him to the corner, the exact same corner that Snake is at matter of fact! Zero Tolerance runs at and hits the unprepared Snake with a run in corner splash and with the momentum, he is forced back and Mr. X takes advantage with the walk back as he grabs Zero Tolerance and hits a German Suplex! X then gets back up and runs like a derailed train to Snake but Snake jumps on the turnbuckle and just as Mr. X runs into the turnbuckle, Snake grabs X's legs and rolls him up for a pin. The referee goes for the count: One... Two... Kickout!
Cole: ALMOST!
King: Snake is a smart man indeed.
Snake decides to get more damage done onto the big man so he drags Mr. X a little bit closer to the middle of the squared circle. Snake then quickly jumps to the top rope. He poses briefly toward the crowd and then jumps off, attempting a huge elbow drop but during the jump, Zero Tolerance quickly gets up a couple feet away. He runs towards Snake and on the way down, Zero Tolerance hits him with a dropkick in mid-air! The crowd is eating all this up and they are cheering loudly for what's transpiring inside the ring.
Cole: What great thinking there by Zero Tolerance, and quite possibly a major turning point altogether in the match!
King: He may well be Finalist Material after all in this tournament!
Zero Tolerance slowly gets to his feet and he notices Mr. X gradually getting to his feet as well. For the little time that Zero Tolerance is the only one standing, he's trying to get more energy, trying to recover some health and trying to make it so that he has a better all around chance of winning this match. Mr. X finally makes it to his feet and he runs over to Zero Tolerance with his arm out for a clothesline but X keenly ducks it. Mr. X then turns around and Zero Tolerance picks him up over his shoulder, yelling loudly as he pulls on him very tightly. Mr. X is hung up in a torture rack position! Mr. X is yelling loudly as well, except he's yelling in pain on the other hand!
Cole: Torture Rack locked in by Zero Tolerance!
King: Zero might get the win once and for all here!
The referee is constantly asking Mr. X if he wants to give up, and each and every time, X fiercely says no. Zero pulls extra hard and it looks as if X is about to tap out but we see Snake, who's apparently been hiding out once again, jump on the top turnbuckle! He immediately jumps off for a split-legged moonsault attempt, towards both Zero Tolerance and Mr. X. He lands on Mr. X but then continues as he follows up by performing a headscissors him off of Zero Tolerance! Snake gets up and faces Zero Tolerance. Zero kicks him in the side once, then kicks him at the other side. He then jumps up for a roundhouse kick, ready to kick his head off but Snake ducks this one however. Zero Tolerance lands on his feet and just as that happens, Snake hits him with a strong clothesline for his efforts! Snake and Zero fall down, leaving all men in this match out in a daze for the moment at least. Snake struggles to crawl over but he eventually drapes an arm over Zero's chest. The referee makes the pin count: One... Two... Thr-KICKOUT!
Cole: Snake was just a split second from walking away as tonight's victor and a trip to the Finals in his back pocket!
King: This is true but I wouldn't count out Zero Tolerance or Mr. X just yet either Cole, not by any means to say the least.
Snake appears visibly livid that he wasn't declared winner yet but he still plans to get it done soon enough regardless. Snake gets to his feet and he brings Mr. X to his feet. Snake punches him, and X punches back. Being the smaller man, Snake is initally over powered and he falls to the ground. Mr. X picks him up over his head and he throws him at the canvas, military press style. Snake hits hard and X bends over, putting his hands on his knees, in exhaustion. Mr. X glances down to Snake, and notices that he could be pinned at this point. He then looks over to Zero Tolerance but wait, where is he? He's now back up and standing directly behind Zero Tolerance! Zero is behind him and has a firm grasp on him, trying to hit him hard with a German Suplex. He's pulling hard but after all the pain and suffering that's already happened, plus his weight, it just doesn't work out unfortunately.
Cole: You can't forget Mr. X's general weight advantage here.
King: Yes, he's a monster no doubt but that may also prevent him from being quite as flexible like his opponents are capable of being at times.
Mr. X hits him hard with his back elbow and Zero Tolerance gives up the previous suplex hold, falling to the canvus in the process. X then falls down purposefully for an elbow drop but Zero rolls out of the way and X comes up empty in his attempt. They both get up and Zero Tolerance pulls back his arm to punch him but Mr. X points to behind him while grinning slightly. Zero looks behind him to find none other than Snake, running, trying to get a move of some sort in on him but as soon as he's close enough, Zero Tolerance picks him up over his shoulders. There it is, The Zero Driver as Snake comes crashing down hard to the canvus below! Zero then raises his arms, feeling quite accomplished but he's cut off as Mr. X grabs his neck from behind, putting him in a tight Sleeper hold position! Zero begins struggling, gasping for air as he tries to escape the maneuver one way or another. He struggles more and more, trying to get out of it. He's in the middle of the ring so he can't grab the ropes... but wait, Snake himself is back up as he's slowly snuck up to the top rope nearby and before either of the other men can react he comes flying off the turnbuckle and viciously splashes down onto BOTH of them all at once!
Cole: Damnit it looks like Snake may be about to steal one here tonight and come out on top after hiding out for more than half the match earlier and letting these other two men wear each other down bit by bit!
At this point with both X and Zero lying motionless down below Snake seems right on the verge of going for the proverbial kill with a pinfall attempt, BUT just then out of the corner of his eye he and the rest of the audience seem to spot something rather odd as an uninvited visitor is out onto the top of the stage area up above, and by god it's not just anyone but none other than the XHF's infamous Commish himself, CHRIS KANYON!
Cole: Hey what the hell, what's HE doing out here right now?!!!
King: Yeah this is a shocker to say the least, and from the looks of things Snake isn't the least bit pleased about his presence here at ringside, especially at a crucial point like this in the match!
Right away at noticing Kanyon Snake seems to temporarily take all focus off his afformentioned opponents and with a look of arrogant disgust on his face he walks over to lean across the front set of ropes and motions for the Commish to come get a peice of him while the two men trade trash talk back and forth a little. However, in the midst of all this Mr. X seems to recovered sufficiently enough to make it back to his knees just behind the distracted figure of Snake, and before Snake even realizes what's going on X reaches forward to pull him down from behind and while grabbing the tights too for good measure rolls him up into an abrupt schoolboy pin attempt from behind as the ref quickly slides in for the count: One.....Two.....THREE!!!
Winner via Pinfall and "Big List" Tourney Finalist #2 for the XHF Rumble: MR. X!
Cole: HA, and just like that the ever cocky Snake gets an overdue dose of his own medicine courtesy of his archrival Chris Kanyon, and as it turns out Kanyon didn't even have to lay a single finger on him either to accomplish what he set out to do here tonight!
King: Exactly Cole, and more importantly Mr. X has pulled off a HUGE win for himself here tonight which obviously sets up another one on one clash for the ages come the XHF Rumble Pay-Per-View against Mongo himself!
*Back at ringside Mr. X has now conveniently slid from the ring altogether where he gets his hand raised triumphantly by the referee while celebrating this monumental win for himself that literally came out of nowhere just moments earlier. At the same time though Snake is back to his feet inside the ring and seems to be utterly IRATE from this turn of events as he again leans over the ropes while pointing up at Kanyon and angrily screaming up toward him over and over at the top of his lungs that it "isn't over" between the two and the war between them has just begun. With this we slowly begin to fade out once and for all this evening as the screen shifts back and forth between a fiercely grimacing Snake and Chris Kanyon who's outright doubled over in laughter on the rampway over his accomplishment in distracting his hated adversary out of the crucial victory here tonight...*

February 15th, 2008
The Sommet Center
Nashville, Tennessee[/b]
Stadium Capacity: 17,113
*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....*
*As the lights in the arena flicker, the fans jump to their feet momentarily in anticipation. The blaring opening guitars of Stone Sour's "Reborn" begin to blast through the speakers, and as this happens, the following is played over the Xtreme Tron, followed by several in-ring clips of MGK facing various opponents.
Finally, MGK makes his way out from backstage, dressed in his ring attire, with black tape covering up his hands and wrists. In white, the letters KO are written on the backs of his hands on the tape. He stands on the entrance stage for a few seconds. He then gets onto the ring apron, and enters the ring. Dropping down to one knee in the center of the ring, he crosses his arms over his chest to form an X, as a blue spotlight falls down on him alone, the rest of the arena caught up in darkness. MGK then stands up. He goes to the ring announcer and grabs him self a mic as his music dies down but the cheer of the fans get's louder.*
Enough of the games and showboating James you said you have proof you said you have a "bombshell" to drop on me, so here I am James! Let's cut the crap an...
*We suddenly hear JFK's voice come on over the P.A. system before seeing his face on the Xtreme-Tron.*
-Actually, how about you just shut the hell up for a second here and let someone else talk for once...little brother.
*The fans boo as JFK's face takes over the Xtreme-Tron, he has that sly grin on his face as it takes up the whole view.*
Blah blah blah that's all you ever do Mikey, is talk talk talk cry cry cry bitch and moan bitch and moan SHUT THE HELL UP FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE AND JUST.....listen. For the past year Mikey you've been dodging me, you've been ducking me, you've been SCARED of me. When I first came to the XHF they loved the fact that I was your "long lost brother", they loved the fact that I was coming after you for revenge, they loved the fact that I had a fire burning inside of me to do just what I said I was going to do, yet they kept me from you. Management LOVED me they wanted to see MGK vs JFK...but not yet....they said...we cant afford to lose MGK for a few months they said, they KNOW what I am going to do to you when I get my hands on you Mikey...and now...now they can't protect you anymore...now they cant hide you from me anymore...and you Mikey...you can no longer hide from the TRUTH.
*JFK stands and moves off camera behind him we see a woman, not just any woman, MGK recognizes her right away, his face goes pale, but his eyes fill with anger.*
SO HELP ME GOD JAMES IF YOU...
SO HELP ME GOD WHAT MIKE!? HUH!? YOU GOING TO HUNT ME DOWN?! HUH!? WHATCHA GOING TO DO MIKEY IM IN FORT LAUDERDALE YOURE STUCK IN TENNESSEE!
*The woman jumps a bit as the two men yell back and forth at each other, JFK sides down in the couch next to her, she's in a chair facing the camera with a coffee table that JFK must have been sitting on before is in front of her JFK looks over to the lady with a look of disgust on his face.*
Dont worry Mikey...I havent laid a finger on her....have I mother?
*She just looks away and JFK chuckles a bit.*
Say hi to the nice folks at home mother, show them how "sweet" and "innocent" you can be before I completely tarnish and ruin you and Mikey here on live television.
"Youre insane."
Am I mother? I am I really? I'm not the one that picked one son over the other, I am not the person that LIED to her spouse about who Baby Mikey's father was, I am not the one that tore apart and ruined a happy family because I was a bitter old woman! But you mother...you! You had no problems ruining our happy family none what so ever!
"You know NOTHING!"
*She yells right in his face, he turns his head away from her looking away with anger in his eyes, his head snaps back towards her and she jumps, he holds up an evelope.*
Nothing mother? Nothing!? I know for a FACT that you are nothing more then a two bit lying mat rat WHORE! THATS WHAT I KNOW....mother.
*He opens the envelope and hands her the paper inside.*
Do you understand what that say's mother? Are you smart enough to be able to read the TRUTH before your very eyes, what's that say mother? WHAT THAT FUCKING SAY ABOUT YOUR LITTLE BOY MIKEY!? WHOSE IT SAY IS HIS TRUE FATHER!?
*She holds her head low she crumbles up the paper and throws it to the side.*
"I've always known the truth James, I knew who his father was all along, it was never about Baby Mikey though James, it was about protecting him...from you."
*JFK grinds his jaw not likening where this is going expecting more of a fight from the lady.*
"You were always an evil and vile little child James, the moment you were born you were nothing more then a selfish BRAT. The moment you could start walking you starting hurting things, you tortured the dog James!"
*His jaw grinds even more.*
Youre a liar!
"NO! I am tired of lying! Your father told you that story to protect the family! We were afraid of what you could do to the baby! The night before you and your father left the house for good you tried to smoother the baby with a pillow! AND NOW LOOK AT YOU!"
*JFK grabs her by the jaw to shut her up and he gets right into her face.*
Yes...look at me mother....look into my eyes, see the fire that burns, you could have saved me mother, you could have tried to save me from becoming the monster that I have become, you could have prevented all of this mother by being what you never were....a mother. You think I was evil and vile as a CHILD mother? You think you could protect Mikey from me? No one can protect him anymore mother...the truth is out there, he now has to face his past, he now has to accept that this...evil...vile human being is in-fact his own flesh and blood, and come the Rumble mother...no one...and nothing will be able to save him from me, and your going to be there mother...front row...to watch us destroy one another...it's only fitting mother...that you get to watch first hand, up close and personal, to what your lies have TRUELY done to this family.
*JFK continues to hold her jaw as he turns his head to the camera.*
At the Rumble Mikey you can no longer run and hide, the match has been signed, the match will happen, JFK Vs MGK finally, but this isnt going to be any ordinary match Mikey...you and me we cant be contained by rules, my anger for you can not be limited by regulations that's why I've requested this match, and Kaynon granted it. At the Rumble Mikey you and I will be going one on one in a Last Man Standing match, where there will HAVE to be a winner. There is no escaping this time Mikey, there is no denying the FACTS...and mother you get to watch how...special...it'll be a grand 'ole family reunion.
*JFK turns his head back their mother, and gives her a grin and then lets her go. We fade out briefly to commercial with a wave of boos coming from all across the crowd.*
*The lights in the arena go down to black as we return from the break. 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.*
*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 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.*
"Big List" Tournament Triple Threat Semifinals Match #1
Mongo the Destroyer vs. Steve Awesome vs. Rob Arnold
The bell rings and Steve Awesome and Rob Arnold immediately get face to face and start talking smack to each other. Mongo himself soon tries to butt in, but they both shove him away. They then start yelling at each other once again. Mongo however comes back and abruptly slaps both of them! Rob Arnold and Steve Awesome both look at him with rage in their eyes. Upon noticing their reactions he comically points at them to go back to yelling at each other, but its far too late for that now though. Arnold and Awesome both start hitting Mongo with forearms in unison. They then irish whip the big man to the ropes and hit a double back body drop on him in return! Mongo gets up a bit loopy and Awesome hits him from behind with a chop block. Rob Arnold then hits a leg drop on the same leg that was attacked. Mongo rolls around holding his leg and Awesome grabs it and lifts, then slams it down into the mat. Rob Arnold picks Mongo up and hits a knee breaker. Mongo hops around holding his knee and Arnold/Awesome grab him for a double hip toss over the top rope and all the way to the outside!
Cole: Wow looks like these two are actually on the same page for once when it comes to taking out our owner!
King: Perhaps, though I have a sneaky suspicion this newfound "teamwork" of theirs is short-lived...
After watching Mongo land hard below both Arnold and Awesome look like they're about to high five, but suddenly both stop and look at each other mid-five. They then start punching each other back and forth instead! Rob Arnold starts to win out and then starts hitting Awesome with elbows and knees. He knocks Awesome into the corner, then backs up and charges for a clothesline, but Awesome gets his feet directly up into Rob Arnold's face. Rob staggers back and Steve charges out of the corner with a spinning wheel kick. Steve then gets up to his feet and quickly hits a standing leg drop on Arnold. He then covers, but only gets a one. Both get on their feet and Awesome goes for a punch, but Rob Arnold wisely blocks and goes for a clothesline, but Awesome ducks under, then grabs Arnold and hits a devestating spinebuster! out of nowhere Meanwhile Mongo is back up and limps hesitantly into the ring. He hits the distracted Steve Awesome in the back with a forearm. He then grabs him and hits a reverse DDT. Rob Arnold is now getting up and Mongo runs and gets a clothesline on Arnold that sends him clear out of the ring. Mongo turns back to Awesome and hits a flying forearm on him. He then picks Steve Awesome up and whips him toward the corner, but Awesome reverses along the way. Awesome charges in afterward with a running elbow. He then grabs Mongo's bad leg from earlier on and places it over the middle rope and pulls on it for a four count. He then runs to the opposite side of the ring and bounces off the ropes, and comes back with a dropkick to the elevated knee! Mongo screams out in agony and falls to the mat holding his knee. Rob Arnold slides back into the ring from behind Awesome and slowly creeps up behind him, looking to apparently set up for a deadly Bristol Driver, but unfortunately Awesome knows him far too well by this point and dodges out of the way just in time. Awesome goes behind Arnold and pushes him towards the ropes. He flips around and goes over the ropes, looking to lock in the SteveVD Player, aka a Crossface Chicken Wing, but Arnold knows that all too well too and turns around. He holds Awesome's legs and pulls him off the ropes and proceeds to hit a massive reverse powerbomb! He then rolls Awesome over for a pin. 1, 2, kickout!
King: Wow, these two know really do each other too well.
Cole: That they do it seems.
Elsewhere in the ring Mongo gets up, still noticably limping. Rob Arnold turns and sees him up. Arnold goes to punch him, but Mongo blocks with a few forceful punches of his own. The much smaller man in Rob manages to stop his growing momentum with a kick to the knee. He then whips Mongo to the ropes, but Mongo jumps up to the second one and springboards back into a DDT on Arnold somehow! He covers. 1, 2, kickout! Mongo gets up and Steve Awesome is starting to stand nearby. Mongo lunges over and hits Awesome with a vicious forearm moments later. Mongo then goes over to the nearest corner and slowly climbs up the turnbuckle while both opponents remain down on the canvus. Due to his bad leg though, it takes him a little too long and Steve Awesome is able to get to him and push his leg so he crotches himself down across the top rope! He falls back into the ring holding his groin area and meanwhile Awesome then jumps up on the turnbuckle and hits a huge frog splash down right away onto Mongo! He stays on for the pin. 1, 2, -but NO Rob Arnold returns to break up the count just in time! Arnold then pulls Awesome up and clubs him in the back of the head. He then bends him over and turns him around to hit a running powerbomb! He hooks for the pin. 1, 2, and another last second kickout! A frustrated looking Arnold stands over Steve Awesome and starts to deliver the Lancaster Bomber, but Mongo is back up and dropkicks Arnold in the back before he can get going in the maneuver full steam! As he dropkicks Rob Arnold, he falls onto Steve Awesome with a splash. 1, 2, kickout! Mongo gets up and Rob Arnold grabs him from behind with a half nelson, he then lifts him and then drops him into a backbreaker! He then grabs Mongo's bad leg and locks in the spinning toe hold. Mongo is screaming loudly in pain. Soon enough Mongo is reaching out for the ropes as Arnold turns again. Arnold is twisting and twisting and Mongo looks just about ready to tap when Steve Awesome comes from behind with a schoolboy on Arnold! 1, 2, Thre-NO, Kickout!
Cole: WOW, what action we're witnessing here tonight with so much on the line in this contest!
King: Yep looks like the intensity is really starting to pick up now and the end may be very near one way or another for these three men!
Arnold and Awesome both get to a standing position and stare down. They both roar in sheer determination and charge at each other and just start wailing away with punches and kicks. Neither man faltering. They are just beating the ever loving crap out of each other at this point, laying it all out on the line for a single spot in the finals of the Big List tourney this evening. Finally, Steve Awesome starts to win out, but then Rob Arnold hits a sly thumb to the eyes. Arnold then hits a headbutt, and then follows that up with a double underhook backbreaker to Awesome. Rob Arnold then gets grabbed from behind by Mongo and XHF's owner hits a big boot! All three men are down for a bit due to pure exhaustion. But Mongo is mostly due to the bum leg of course. Mongo soon crawls over to a corner and uses the ropes to help him stand. As he does, Steve Awesome is getting up as well. Mongo looks back to see Rob Arnold still out cold a few feet away. Mongo then climbs up to the top turnbuckle to seemingly attempt an Xtreme Legdrop on Arnold, but it seems Mr. Awesome has other ideas as he shakes the ropes and Mongo misses his landing and crotches himself on the ropes yet again! This time he hangs upside-down in the tree of woe position! Awesome stomps on him a few times and punches the bad knee. Rob Arnold is up and groggy soon after. He charges at Awesome with a running elbow, but Awesome dodges out of the way and Arnold hits the groin of MONGO by accident! Mongo falls out of the corner holding himself. Awesome grabs Arnold and lifts him for another spinebuster, but Arnold reverses into a DDT! Rob Arnold then pulls Steve Awesome up and grabs him from behind. He lifts him for a reverse brainbuster, but Awesome falls out behind Arnold. Awesome shoves him into the ropes. Rob Arnold runs back at a clothesline from Steve Awesome, but ducks. Mongo is finally back up and hits Awesome with a dropkick from the front. Mongo gets up, but Rob Arnold is still running and comes from behind with a clothesline to Mongo! Mongo looks to be out cold for the most part. Rob Arnold bends down to turn Mongo over for a pin, but before he can cover, Steve Awesome is back up and running at full speed, grabs Arnold and hits a massive running tornado DDT. Arnold rolls completely out of the ring from the impact of this. Steve Awesome then turns to see Mongo and runs up the nearest turnbuckle. He jumps off attempting a diving elbow drop for the finish but at the last possible moment Mongo moves out of the way and Awesome is greeted with a face full of canvus in response! At noticing Rob Arnold still down outside the ring Mongo is quick to take advantage of the situation as he picks up the near lifeless body of Steve Awesome, and before Awesome can react whatsoever he gets a swift kick to the gut by Mongo and upon Mongo hooking him between his legs he's lifted up and swiftly planted right back DOWN into the canvus for a picture perfect Xtreme-Edge! A very fatigued looking Mongo then slumps over for the pinfall attempt below on Awesome: One...Two.....THREE!
Winner via Pinfall AND Advancing to "Big List" Tourney Finals at the Rumble: Mongo the Destroyer!
King: Holy crap, what a match, and what a statement on behalf of Mongo to come out on top here tonight versus Awesome and Arnold, plus now he's got some definite momentum building for himself heading into the finals a few weeks from tonight!
Cole: That was a great opener for tonight's broadcast no doubt King, and now the only question left to answer is simply, who's next in Mongo's warpath toward the top?
King: Good question Cole, and one we're just about to find the answer to in mere moments from now with the main event matchup which happens to be another triple threat of sorts.
*The lights die down slowly, over the PA system the sound of hissing and rattling echoes throughout the arena. A chorus of drum beats and guitar strings thump out of the arena speakers, as Hoobastanks Out of Control drives into full motion.
Pyros stream from the top of the arena and hit the stage causing a blinding light to cover the entrance way, before slowly dying down as a figure now stands at the entrance way, lightly jumping on the spot warming up before walking into the blinding mist of light. The light dies off completely as Snake lifts his head up from the lowered position it is in. the X*Crown Title wrapped around his waist. Snake slowly walks down to the ring area as he taunts the crowd pointing to his belt. He stops at the bottom of the rampway and looks around the arena before approaching the ring and climbing in through the middle rope and moves to the middle of the ring where he stands and unclips the X*Crown belt and lifts it in his hand as he stretches out his arms awaiting the applause he deserves, before moving to the corner of the ring and stretches awaiting the start of the match.*
*Seven characters appear on the Xtreme-Tron cycling through numbers. They slowly stop on 6655321 as these words are said over the P.A.:
You're sentenced to 6 months without perole.
Welcome prisoner number 6655321.
I will get my revenge.
Two red pyros go off on stage forming an X. "Opium of the People" by Slipknot hits the PA. Mr. X comes out of the curtains with his arms crossed in an X formation in front of his face. Pain Jane walks out behind him wearing a hooded cloak. He has a chain wrapped around his left arm. He slowly spreads his arms apart as Jane moves under them and runs one of her hands down his chest. Once Mr. X's arms are fully stretched, Jane removes the hood from her head and has an evil grin upon her face as she looks out into the crowd. Mr. X has a look of determination on his face. They then walk down to the ring, never changing there attitudes. Mr. X stops at the base of the ring as Jane climbs onto the apron and feels the top rope. She then looks back at Mr. X with a sadistic smile and then flips backward while holding the top rope to land on her feet in the ring. Mr. X then climbs into the ring by grabbing the top rope and pulling himself onto the apron and then stepping over the top rope. He unravels the chain from around his arm and starts to laugh. He hands the chain to Jane and she holds onto it as she leaves the ring and gets into his corner. Mr. X tightens his gloves as he awaits the match to start.*
*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. Walking to the mi
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!*
"Big List" Tournament Triple Threat Semifinals Match #2
Snake vs. Mr. X vs. Zero Tolerance
We start out the match with Snake, Mr. X and Zero Tolerance, staring at each other, all eagerly awaiting the ring of the bell. After it does, we find Mr. X and Zero Tolerance locking up. Before any moves can be done to each other at the grapple state, Snake meanwhile runs to the ropes and bounces back. Snake runs up Mr.X's back, jumps off as X is forcibly bent over and hits a flying head scissors onto Zero Tolerance himself! Upon impact, Snake rolls out of the ring, trying to get away from the fray while letting the recovering Mr. X get a piece of the downed Zero Tolerance.
Cole: Well it looks like the first blow is made, most noticably by Snake as it were.
King: The first blow usually tells us how matches unravel. When the dust is settled, will Snake come out on top and be Mongo's opponent at the Rumble later this month?
Mr. X now squats near Zero Tolerance and gives him some lefts and rights. Snake simply smirks nearby and seemingly lets the two tear into each other so he can easily finish the match off at some point soon. Zero Tolerance is taking quite a beating from X but using his strong, flexible body, he uses his legs to grasp a good hold on Mr. X. He soon rolls around and gets him into a leg submission, more specifically, a Half Boston Crab. Mr. X begins to yell and look around for some rope to latch onto, and sure enough he finds exactly that with his other leg. The referee tells Zero Tolerance to get off him, and he does.
Cole: X and Zero Tolerance both had some pretty good moves on each other just.
King: Yeah but what about Snake though!? He isn't in the action whatsoever right now, except for that one move earlier to instigate all this brawling between the other two. It seems he could be strategizing still to sneak in and still the victory out from under these two in typical Snake fashion!
Snake continues to wait at the corner of the ring and he watches Mr. X and Zero Tolerance slowly get back to their feet. Zero Tolerance makes it up first and helps X up but as he gets up, he slaps Zero Tolerance's hands away from him. Mr. X grabs Zero Tolerance and Irishwhips him to the corner, the exact same corner that Snake is at matter of fact! Zero Tolerance runs at and hits the unprepared Snake with a run in corner splash and with the momentum, he is forced back and Mr. X takes advantage with the walk back as he grabs Zero Tolerance and hits a German Suplex! X then gets back up and runs like a derailed train to Snake but Snake jumps on the turnbuckle and just as Mr. X runs into the turnbuckle, Snake grabs X's legs and rolls him up for a pin. The referee goes for the count: One... Two... Kickout!
Cole: ALMOST!
King: Snake is a smart man indeed.
Snake decides to get more damage done onto the big man so he drags Mr. X a little bit closer to the middle of the squared circle. Snake then quickly jumps to the top rope. He poses briefly toward the crowd and then jumps off, attempting a huge elbow drop but during the jump, Zero Tolerance quickly gets up a couple feet away. He runs towards Snake and on the way down, Zero Tolerance hits him with a dropkick in mid-air! The crowd is eating all this up and they are cheering loudly for what's transpiring inside the ring.
Cole: What great thinking there by Zero Tolerance, and quite possibly a major turning point altogether in the match!
King: He may well be Finalist Material after all in this tournament!
Zero Tolerance slowly gets to his feet and he notices Mr. X gradually getting to his feet as well. For the little time that Zero Tolerance is the only one standing, he's trying to get more energy, trying to recover some health and trying to make it so that he has a better all around chance of winning this match. Mr. X finally makes it to his feet and he runs over to Zero Tolerance with his arm out for a clothesline but X keenly ducks it. Mr. X then turns around and Zero Tolerance picks him up over his shoulder, yelling loudly as he pulls on him very tightly. Mr. X is hung up in a torture rack position! Mr. X is yelling loudly as well, except he's yelling in pain on the other hand!
Cole: Torture Rack locked in by Zero Tolerance!
King: Zero might get the win once and for all here!
The referee is constantly asking Mr. X if he wants to give up, and each and every time, X fiercely says no. Zero pulls extra hard and it looks as if X is about to tap out but we see Snake, who's apparently been hiding out once again, jump on the top turnbuckle! He immediately jumps off for a split-legged moonsault attempt, towards both Zero Tolerance and Mr. X. He lands on Mr. X but then continues as he follows up by performing a headscissors him off of Zero Tolerance! Snake gets up and faces Zero Tolerance. Zero kicks him in the side once, then kicks him at the other side. He then jumps up for a roundhouse kick, ready to kick his head off but Snake ducks this one however. Zero Tolerance lands on his feet and just as that happens, Snake hits him with a strong clothesline for his efforts! Snake and Zero fall down, leaving all men in this match out in a daze for the moment at least. Snake struggles to crawl over but he eventually drapes an arm over Zero's chest. The referee makes the pin count: One... Two... Thr-KICKOUT!
Cole: Snake was just a split second from walking away as tonight's victor and a trip to the Finals in his back pocket!
King: This is true but I wouldn't count out Zero Tolerance or Mr. X just yet either Cole, not by any means to say the least.
Snake appears visibly livid that he wasn't declared winner yet but he still plans to get it done soon enough regardless. Snake gets to his feet and he brings Mr. X to his feet. Snake punches him, and X punches back. Being the smaller man, Snake is initally over powered and he falls to the ground. Mr. X picks him up over his head and he throws him at the canvas, military press style. Snake hits hard and X bends over, putting his hands on his knees, in exhaustion. Mr. X glances down to Snake, and notices that he could be pinned at this point. He then looks over to Zero Tolerance but wait, where is he? He's now back up and standing directly behind Zero Tolerance! Zero is behind him and has a firm grasp on him, trying to hit him hard with a German Suplex. He's pulling hard but after all the pain and suffering that's already happened, plus his weight, it just doesn't work out unfortunately.
Cole: You can't forget Mr. X's general weight advantage here.
King: Yes, he's a monster no doubt but that may also prevent him from being quite as flexible like his opponents are capable of being at times.
Mr. X hits him hard with his back elbow and Zero Tolerance gives up the previous suplex hold, falling to the canvus in the process. X then falls down purposefully for an elbow drop but Zero rolls out of the way and X comes up empty in his attempt. They both get up and Zero Tolerance pulls back his arm to punch him but Mr. X points to behind him while grinning slightly. Zero looks behind him to find none other than Snake, running, trying to get a move of some sort in on him but as soon as he's close enough, Zero Tolerance picks him up over his shoulders. There it is, The Zero Driver as Snake comes crashing down hard to the canvus below! Zero then raises his arms, feeling quite accomplished but he's cut off as Mr. X grabs his neck from behind, putting him in a tight Sleeper hold position! Zero begins struggling, gasping for air as he tries to escape the maneuver one way or another. He struggles more and more, trying to get out of it. He's in the middle of the ring so he can't grab the ropes... but wait, Snake himself is back up as he's slowly snuck up to the top rope nearby and before either of the other men can react he comes flying off the turnbuckle and viciously splashes down onto BOTH of them all at once!
Cole: Damnit it looks like Snake may be about to steal one here tonight and come out on top after hiding out for more than half the match earlier and letting these other two men wear each other down bit by bit!
At this point with both X and Zero lying motionless down below Snake seems right on the verge of going for the proverbial kill with a pinfall attempt, BUT just then out of the corner of his eye he and the rest of the audience seem to spot something rather odd as an uninvited visitor is out onto the top of the stage area up above, and by god it's not just anyone but none other than the XHF's infamous Commish himself, CHRIS KANYON!
Cole: Hey what the hell, what's HE doing out here right now?!!!
King: Yeah this is a shocker to say the least, and from the looks of things Snake isn't the least bit pleased about his presence here at ringside, especially at a crucial point like this in the match!
Right away at noticing Kanyon Snake seems to temporarily take all focus off his afformentioned opponents and with a look of arrogant disgust on his face he walks over to lean across the front set of ropes and motions for the Commish to come get a peice of him while the two men trade trash talk back and forth a little. However, in the midst of all this Mr. X seems to recovered sufficiently enough to make it back to his knees just behind the distracted figure of Snake, and before Snake even realizes what's going on X reaches forward to pull him down from behind and while grabbing the tights too for good measure rolls him up into an abrupt schoolboy pin attempt from behind as the ref quickly slides in for the count: One.....Two.....THREE!!!
Winner via Pinfall and "Big List" Tourney Finalist #2 for the XHF Rumble: MR. X!
Cole: HA, and just like that the ever cocky Snake gets an overdue dose of his own medicine courtesy of his archrival Chris Kanyon, and as it turns out Kanyon didn't even have to lay a single finger on him either to accomplish what he set out to do here tonight!
King: Exactly Cole, and more importantly Mr. X has pulled off a HUGE win for himself here tonight which obviously sets up another one on one clash for the ages come the XHF Rumble Pay-Per-View against Mongo himself!
*Back at ringside Mr. X has now conveniently slid from the ring altogether where he gets his hand raised triumphantly by the referee while celebrating this monumental win for himself that literally came out of nowhere just moments earlier. At the same time though Snake is back to his feet inside the ring and seems to be utterly IRATE from this turn of events as he again leans over the ropes while pointing up at Kanyon and angrily screaming up toward him over and over at the top of his lungs that it "isn't over" between the two and the war between them has just begun. With this we slowly begin to fade out once and for all this evening as the screen shifts back and forth between a fiercely grimacing Snake and Chris Kanyon who's outright doubled over in laughter on the rampway over his accomplishment in distracting his hated adversary out of the crucial victory here tonight...*
