The Xtreme Hardcore Federation Presents:
Gastro
March 7th, 2008
The Palace of Auburn Hills
Auburn Hills, Michigan
Stadium Capacity: 22,076
*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....*
*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: And here's our first challenger here tonight, in this case Reckless Jack as he's once again looking to make major XHF history by becoming the first man to ever hold the Junior-Heavyweight Championship on four separate occasions!
**"All about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy then blasts over the P.A. Obsidian
walks out eating nachos. He's wearing an expensive looking coat and
snazzy sunglasses. GQ comes out behind him, following and strutting.
Obsidian walks down to the ring, still eating the nachos and dropping
cheese on his jacket. He climbs in the ring and gives a thumbs up to
the crowd.*
Cole: Reckless Jack is the man.
King: Well at least he will try to prove that.
"Pool of Nachos" Cage Match for the XHF Junior-Heavyweight Championship
Reckless Jack vs. Obsidian (c)
The cell finally lowers and the ref rings the bell
the second the cell drops on the mat below as Obsidian and Jack square
off in the
center of the ring. They punch before tying up in the middle of the
ring, trying for a test of strength on one another as Obsidian pushes
Jack down on his
knees trying to power him out, but Jack gets back up, pushing Obsidian
down on his knees trying to test him out. Obsidian gets back up and
ends up stomping on
the feet of Jack as he runs to the ropes and goes for a lariat, but
Jack ducks as Obsidian comes back and Jack catches him with a kick to
the gut, but Obsidian
stops and ducks slapping Jack in the face before bouncing off the ropes
with a sunset flip try, but Jack just sits on him. ONE...TWO...Obsidian
flips over Jack
anyways. ONE...TWO...Jack kicks out and goes for another pin.
ONE...TWO...Obsidian kicks out and goes for a fast leg drop but Jack
misses and kicks Obsidian in
the back hard before bouncing off the ropes going for an attempted
dropkick, but Obsidian ducks and slaps the back of Jack's shins,
sending him down
getting up and nailing a standing shooting star. ONE...TWO...kickout by
Jack as Jack knocks Obsidian down by the shins flipping with a leg
drop, covering.
ONE...TWO...kickout. Both men stand up and an ovation is heard.
Cole: They're clapping over nachos?
King: Nachos AND CHEESE.
Both are breathing hard, and both are evaluating each other from this start. Obsidian grabs a nearby nacho, dips it
into the pool in the middle and begins chewing, never moving his eyes away from Reckless Jack. He chews it, slowly but
thoroughly. He swallows, licks his lips and still stares at Reckless Jack. Reckless Jack doesn't eat a
nacho. He doesn't lick the melted cheese or the salsa. He looks back at Obsidian and for a moment, time
stands still. Tension breaks and Reckless Jack recklessly (pun not intended) jumps over the pool of melted cheese and spears
Obsidian. He begins to lay in the left and the right and the left once more. Obsidian kicks Jack off of him and
gets up. Jack runs and performs a flying fore arm. ….well, a MISSED flying forearm. Jack
shakes his head and gets up. He looks at Obsidian but upon turning around, gets blinded by a handful of CHEESE.
Jack tries to wipe it off but during this moment of inability, Obsidian hurracanranas Reckless Jack into the pool. Obsidian then climbs
the turnbuckle and turns down. The crowd is screaming, "CANNON BALL." Obsidian jumps off in beautiful form but in midair,
Reckless Jack pushes him away from the pool, forcing him onto the hard canvas.
Cole: Ouch!
King: You can say that again.
Cole: Ou-
King: SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Obsidian holds onto his back in pain as Reckless Jack begins to leave the pool. He gets onto the canvas and walks
up to Obsidian and brings him to his feet. Jack knees Obsidian in the face and since Obsidian's knee was in the cheese dip, it goes
on Obsidian's face. Obsidian ignores the pain to lick his lips and take out a piece of hair that is in his tongue.
Jack feels that it's time to get rid of the foolishness and then slams Obsidian's face into the cage. He does so again,
and then a third time. Obsidian's face is now covered with sticky nachos and a little bit of blood. He's
barely awake! Reckless Jack feels like it's all going to be over with. Obsidian kicks Reckless Jack in the
stomach and raises him on his shoulders. Is he going to do it? Yes! He'll attempt the
"Gun in Hand"! Obsidian with his love of nachos gets mesmerized for being that close to it, and falls off of Reckless Jack's
shoulders. He's so surprised that when Reckless Jack turns around, he accidentally sends a mist of cheese to his face when saying
"WOW." Reckless Jack falls down, knocked out from Obsidian's cheesy breath. The referee makes the
count:
One…
Two…
Three…
Four….
Five…
Six…
Seven…
Eight…
Nine….
Ten!
Winner and STILL XHF Junior-Heavyweight Champion: Obsidian!
Cole: And Obsidian has done it ladies and gentlemen, even though the most bizarre circumstances this evening he's retained the gold once more!
*Then just mere moments after his amazing match against Obsidian, Reckless Jack is
still standing at ringside, part of him covered still in cheese. He gets a
microphone from a
ringside attendant. Tapping it a couple of times, he slowly brings it
up to his mouth...*
:jack : As we all know, Night of Champions is just around the corner
and recently, I talked about redemption. Through my entire XHF career,
there has been one
thing I've never been able to do. It's not necessarily about titles or tournaments,
it's about beating one man. This man changed the course of my life.
This
man drove me to alcohol. That's right, Hardcore Harry, I am fucking
calling you out one last time here tonight. I want you at Night of Champions VII and not just in any old
normal match either...
no. By god I want this to be Master of Horrors Redux! Answer me bitch...
Cole: WOW, what a challenge being laid out on the table by Reckless Jack this evening!
King: Yeah hopefully Harry says yes though, because between this and everything else the card for Night of Champions is starting to look insanely stacked already and we're only one week into March so far Cole!
*Reckless Jack then hands the microphone back off nearby as he walks to the back with a sadistic smirk of sorts across his face regarding the previous challenge and we slowly fade to commercial for the moment.*
*"Image of the Invisible" by Thrice hits as a Bible comes as the picture on the Xtremetron.
"We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can't allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible"
Genesis and Exodus step out onto the ramp and raise their arms as the crowd cheers. Exodus goes to the crowd and starts talking to the fans as Genesis blesses the ring with a cross, then they turn back to back and point to themselves saying, "Feel the wrath of a vengeful God." The chorus hits as they finally break to the ring.
"We all were lost now we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we'll never walk alone"
They roll into the ring. Exodus stands in the center of the ring arms outstretched waiting. Genesis leaps to the middle rope (not turnbuckle) and looks out over the crowd. He signs them and then his partner with the cross. He leaps down and they both stand together waiting.*
King: And now, we await the presence of our infamous tag team champions.
*The lights shut off, as The Punishers Skull is slowly lowered from the ceiling, as blue lights flicker off it in extremely familar fashion. Black spider logos are shown spinning around on the logo, as the beginning of "A Perfect Circle" by Judith is heard over the PA system. The crowd gets to their feet booing the men who are about to come out, as huge blue flaming pyros shoot up off the stage.
"You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why"
Suddenly The Young Guns, Venom and Charlie Velez, emerge from the back. Venom is wearing his trench vest with his wrestling gear, as Charlie Velez is wearing a sleeveless Support The Young Guns shirt. Charlie Velez holds his arms up in the air, as Venom is walking back and forth on the top of the ring shouting words at the crowd, getting them more and more hyped up. Venom continues to walk down the ramp screaming at the crowd, as Charlie Velez holds his arms up, as he walks backwards down the ramp, staring at the logo. Charlie Velez points to the logo, as he finally puts his arms down and turns towards the ring, and he and Venom slide into the ring. They both get to their feet and climb up the nearest corners, and climb up to the top rope. Charlie Velez once again does his signature taunt, as Venom begins to brush off his shoulders. Venom leaps off the second rope and takes his trench vest off, as Charlie Velez takes off his Young Guns shirt. Charlie Velez smirks at the crowd, as he gets off the second rope, and walks over to his partner. The two begin to talk strategy until the bell rings.*
Cole: Let's see who's going to start this one off tonight.
XHF Tag Team Championship Match
Testament (Genesis/Exodus) vs. The Young Guns (Venom/Charlie Velez) (c)
Velez and Venom agree after some preliminary chatter, and it looks like Venom will be starting things off for the defending champions' side, and on the challenger's side, we see Genesis starting things off. The two both bounce around the ring, full with energy. Finally, they approach each other, and lock up in a grapple. Genesis wins out initially in the grapple with an armdrag takedown, and immediatly stops Venom from bouncing back up by locking his arm into an arm lock. He pulls backwards with all his might, trying to wrench Venom's arm out of the socket. Eventually, Venom is able to kip up though, and out of the arm lock, but at the same time Genesis is up. The two back up a bit, with Venom shaking his arm. Genesis is still as energetic and determined as when he walked into the ring the first time, but Venom isn't, as his arm is still aching a bit. The two lock up once more, this time with Venom utilizing a cheap kick to Genesis' midsection, and following it up with an irish whip. When Genesis runs back towards Venom, Venom leaps back, and hits a springboard back elbow which knocks Genesis to his ass, holding his jaw in shock. Genesis spins back up to his feet though, and the two approach each other again. However, Genesis spins around at the last second, and tags in his partner, Exodus. Exodus doesn't give his opponent a chance to tag in Velez, and he sprints across the ring with a huge dropkick. He leaps back up, and as Venom struggles to get back to his feet in time, Exodus jumps foreward, and lands on Venom's shoulders, and exucutes a picture perfect hurricanrana. He leaps back into the air, ready to inflict more punishment, but he makes a mistake by walking back into the corner, where none other than Charlie Velez himself delivers a cheap shot from behind. The referee runs over to scold Velez right away, but in the meantime, Venom has already taken advantage by whipping Exodus into the ropes, and knocking him to the canvas with a spinning heel kick. Exodus crawls back a bit, and catches Venom off gaurd with a drop toe hold. He then climbs to his feet, and when Venom is back up, Exodus delivers a rake to the eyes and a DDT for good measure. Exodus is back up again, and rather than wait for his opponent to rise, he tags in his partner once again. Genesis jumps over the ropes and into the ring, still pumped up as he was earlier on. He runs towards Venom, and lands a huge spinning heel kick, knocking Venom back into his corner. Venom shakes his head, and tags in his partner, Charlie Velez, who walks through the ropes, looking determined to put an end to Genesis' momentum once and for all. He immediately ducks a clothesline, and bounces off the ropes, returning with a powerful clothesline of his own. He wastes no time in picking up Genesis by the head, and taking a step back for room, then doing a vicious spinning neckbreaker.
Cole: No doubt about it, the Young Guns are at the top of their game tonight with the gold on the line and Night of Champions itself in clear sight up ahead.
Velez lifts up Genesis once more moments later, and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes himself, and hits a diving shoulder block onto Genesis. Genesis crawls to his feet slowly, but by the time he does, Velez tags in Venom, who jumps to the top rope from the apron. Velez watches as Venom hits a perfect missle dropkick onto Genesis, who by this time is wasted with exhaustion from the attacks. Venom pulls Genesis to his feet, and then he runs towards the ropes, jumps on to the second one, and it appears as if we're going to see the Spinning Brutality, until Genesis somehow ducks out of the way, and Venom lands awkwardly on his side. Genesis, still sedated, crawls to the other side and tags in Exodus, but at the same time, Venom tags Velez back in, and the two opposing forces run towards each other at full speed. Velez kicks Exodus in the midsection, spins around him, and executes a German suplex. He spins back to his feet, and pulls Exodus back up, only to deliver a stomach crusher to his gut. Velez steps back, and grins at the crowd, half of which boos, and the other half of which cheers. Exodus crawls to his feet, and Velez turns to hack Exodus' hand wrapped around his neck. Velez is shocked, as he is being choked, but finally, Exodus ends the maneuver with a devestating chokeslam. He steps back, then runs foreward, and knocks Venom off the apron. At this, the referee yells at Exodus, but then leans out of the ring and asks Venom if he's ok. Exodus puts a foot up, and gently pushes the referee out of the ring, since his back was turned. He then turns his attention back to Velez, and now Genesis is in the ring as well, the both of them stomping Charlie. Genesis picks Velez up and holds him while Exodus delivers some rights and lefts, consequently knocking the wind out of him. The referee landed on his head when he fell out of the ring, and at this point its obvious that he's subdued temporarily (and convieniantly, as always). Venom takes advantage of this, and walks around to the other side of the outter ring. He grabs one of the tag titles from an announcer, and rolls into the ring, behind Genesis- Exodus doesn't notice that Venom's there because he's still too busy punching Velez. Venom runs and slams the title belt into the back of Genesis' head, and then smashes it ruthlessly into a suprised Exodus' head as well. He then tosses the belt out of the ring, and picks Exodus up, and delivers an Xed Out to Exodus, who's now virtually knocked out. Venom slides out of the ring to revive the referee, as Velez slowly crawls over to pin Exodus. The referee isn't fully conscious when Venom pushes him into the ring, but when Velez covers Exodus, the referee is able to make a very slow count of 1.....2.....but NO Genesis interupts the count! Venom runs at Genesis at full speed, and leaps at him with a cross body, and the two fly over the top rope together and out of the ring, where Venom begins to hammer away on his adversary. In the ring, however, Velez is hanging on to the ropes with all the strength he has left, staring at Exodus' limp body. He looks around, not sure what to do next, so he picks up Exodus and executes an elimentary body slam. After whipping Genesis into the steps, Venom slides back into the ring itself, and the two signal for the X Effect. Venom picks Exodus up into the sidewalk slam position, and it looks like we're going to see it. And yes, indeed we do! Velez covers Exodus immediately afterward: One...Two...THREE!
Winners via Pinfall and STILL XHF Tag Team Champions: The Young Guns, aka Venom & Charlie Velez!
Cole: What a match!
King: That it was Cole, those Young Guns are firmly still on top of our tag division and made a major statement here tonight that they're here to stay until the very end of XHF as it were.
**The lights in the arena go down to black as we return from commercial for our eagerly anticipated main event. Suddenly two giant pyros
shoot off from either side of the stage as the crowd is slammed into
the chorus of Electric Light Orchestras variation on In the Hall of the
Mountain King. The Xtreme-Tron looks as if a hole is being burned
through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird,
suddenly, the entire area of the bird lights up with flames, a phoenix.
The letters XHF fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on with
shots of Mongo's career within the phoenix. The song continues as a
black bird image emblazoned with XHF is projected onto the ring mat.
The letters H and F are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two
white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross
forming an X. As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks under the large X
above him. He then makes his way down to the ring amidst a cheering
crowd.*
Cole: And here comes our ever-determined owner himself, ready to potentially end the illustrious history of XHF's European Title altogether should he come out victorious tonight.
*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.*
XHF European Championship Match
(If Mongo wins, the title is retired on the spot, if Rob Arnold wins the belt stays in active competition)
Mongo the Destroyer vs. Rob Arnold (c)
Mongo and Rob Arnold are now in the ring, both glaring at each other fiercely as they anxiously await the start of this critical matchup. The bell finally rings and Rob Arnold throws him off guard with a spear. Mongo hits the floor and puts his hands to his back. Rob sees an opportunity and runs to the ropes, he jumps on the top one, and moonsaults back, but Mongo rolls out of the way however. They both get to their feet at the same time. They glance at each other for a quick second before they run up to each other lock up. Mongo takes advantage and gets Rob Arnold in a top wrist lock. With a grunt, Rob Arnold reverses the hold into a hammerlock. Mongo struggles but can't get free of it. Arnold follows it up by pushing him into the ropes and then gets rid of the move by rolling Mongo back for a pin: One, Two, Kickout! The kickout was actually so strong from the big man in Mongo that it through Arnold clear through the ropes and out of the ring.
Cole: This looks pretty even but I think Mongo might get it.
King: Get what? His ankle broken?
This showed the resilience of the determined Mongo the Destroyer. Rob Arnold gets back to his feet outside and glares at Mongo, who has a smirk on his face. Mongo continues his cockiness toward Rob Arnold, but he takes advantage of this by running up to the ring, however not inside, and tugs on one of Mongo's legs a little bit. Mongo pulls his foot away and actually begins to point and yell at this. Arnold puts his hands up, faking innocence but drops the act as he jumps on the apron, grabs his head, drops off the apron and forces Mongo's throat straight down onto the top rope! Mongo drops to the ground and Rob Arnold jumps to the top rope, jumps off, and hits Mongo with a shooting star press out of nowhere! He goes for the pin: One, Two,..But NO, Kickout! Arnold rolls off him, and punches the canvas in anger. A livid Arnold then picks up Mongo and throws him to the ropes, and follows up with a running and jumping forearm, but Mongo cleverly falls to the ground, and pulls down the top rope, forcing Arnold to jump out of the ring altogether!
Cole: Mongo looks as if he is going to make the comeback. Can he do it?
King: Well he might be too hurt to do it though Cole.
Mongo forces himself up, despite the pain, climbs up to the top turnbuckle, facing him, gets in perfect position so he's facing him, and jumps off, hitting Rob Arnold with a massive full body splash down below! Mongo slowly rolls off of Rob Arnold afterward, and they both lay on the ground as they both are very tired by now, however, this is just a regular match and as so, there is a ring out count: One, Two, Three, Four, Mongo gets up. Five, He gets inside the ring. Six, Seven, Rob Arnold slowly gets up, Eight, He walks over to the ring, Nine, He slides inside right before the tenth count, but the entrance is not too pretty as he is greeted with kicks to the back of Rob Arnold. Seeing as it is his weak spot, he yells in great pain. Mongo grabs a hold of Rob Arnold's ankle and locks in a firm figure-four leglock suddenly! The crowd gasps as Rob Arnold yells in pain, trying desperately to find a way out for the sake of his own European Championship reign of course. He eventually does so as he grabs the ropes and the referee counts: One Two Three Four He lets go.
Cole: Oh man, Mongo ALMOST had Arnold beat and the title retired right on the spot just then.
King: That he did, but as usual Rob has a few tricks up his sleeve so I wouldn't count him out just yet by any means!
Mongo steps in front of Rob Arnold, preparing to do the same maneuver all over again but this time, Rob Arnold takes initiative by grabbing Mongo's leg, about to go for the Icebreaker, aka an anklelock, and after a bit of struggle and positioning, he has it locked in! The crowd is shocked as the XHF owner is quite possibly on the verge of defeat here! Rob Arnold pulls as hard and desparately as he can but Mongo isnt about to give in it appears! He is doing everything humanly possible he can not to lose and be humiliated by losing under a match stipulation he brought on himself in the first place! Mongo uses his upper body to raise himself off the canvas and swing himself around the ring to try to loosen the vice-like grip that Rob Arnold has on him, and sure enough it's working. His hands are slipping but Mongo's body is growing tired from battling back against him it seems. He stops the swinging but tries to sustain the damage. Rob's near the ropes which means that Mongo is away from it, and he can't grab it. His only hope is reversing, or having Rob let go, of which the second option is certainly more plausible at this point. Rob is slowly letting go still, but wait! What's this?!! None other than the monster known as Mr. X himself is running quickly down to the ring in the background, just out of the referee's sight! He soon sneaks up on the apron near Rob Arnold, and readjusts the previous hold, allowing Rob to apply it more painfully than he has all along thus far. And indeed that's it! Mongo has no alternative whatsoever than to tap for his own physical well being, and the referee didnt see a single thing regarding Mr. X in the process!
Winner via Submission AND STILL the active XHF European Champion: Rob Arnold!
Cole: Damnit Mr. X helped Rob Arnold to win and salvage his European championship status, but even more importantly than that it seems he's taken out another obvious display of personal torment toward Mongo himself heading into the Night of Champions main event later this month!
King: Exactly Cole, you can BET that with how this match just shook out Mongo won't be the least bit pleased at all and is sure to be out for blood the rest of the way as far as X is concerned!
*Meanwhile back at ringside while Rob quickly grabs the European title and disappears up the rampway out of sight we cut directly to an all too telling split screen on the faces of both Mongo and Mr. X themselves. While X is seen to be manically laughing over his latest actions outside the ring Mongo has sat back up inside the ring and as this evening's broadcast fades out for good we see an absolutely irate expression of both anger and disgust on the XHF owner's face and he is continually mouthing toward X that he'll have his own measure of payback soon enough one way, or another as Night of Champions VII keeps right on growing larger and larger on the Xtreme horizon...*

*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: And here's our first challenger here tonight, in this case Reckless Jack as he's once again looking to make major XHF history by becoming the first man to ever hold the Junior-Heavyweight Championship on four separate occasions!
**"All about the Benjamins" by Puff Daddy then blasts over the P.A. Obsidian
walks out eating nachos. He's wearing an expensive looking coat and
snazzy sunglasses. GQ comes out behind him, following and strutting.
Obsidian walks down to the ring, still eating the nachos and dropping
cheese on his jacket. He climbs in the ring and gives a thumbs up to
the crowd.*
Cole: Reckless Jack is the man.
King: Well at least he will try to prove that.
"Pool of Nachos" Cage Match for the XHF Junior-Heavyweight Championship
Reckless Jack vs. Obsidian (c)
The cell finally lowers and the ref rings the bell
the second the cell drops on the mat below as Obsidian and Jack square
off in the
center of the ring. They punch before tying up in the middle of the
ring, trying for a test of strength on one another as Obsidian pushes
Jack down on his
knees trying to power him out, but Jack gets back up, pushing Obsidian
down on his knees trying to test him out. Obsidian gets back up and
ends up stomping on
the feet of Jack as he runs to the ropes and goes for a lariat, but
Jack ducks as Obsidian comes back and Jack catches him with a kick to
the gut, but Obsidian
stops and ducks slapping Jack in the face before bouncing off the ropes
with a sunset flip try, but Jack just sits on him. ONE...TWO...Obsidian
flips over Jack
anyways. ONE...TWO...Jack kicks out and goes for another pin.
ONE...TWO...Obsidian kicks out and goes for a fast leg drop but Jack
misses and kicks Obsidian in
the back hard before bouncing off the ropes going for an attempted
dropkick, but Obsidian ducks and slaps the back of Jack's shins,
sending him down
getting up and nailing a standing shooting star. ONE...TWO...kickout by
Jack as Jack knocks Obsidian down by the shins flipping with a leg
drop, covering.
ONE...TWO...kickout. Both men stand up and an ovation is heard.
Cole: They're clapping over nachos?
King: Nachos AND CHEESE.
Both are breathing hard, and both are evaluating each other from this start. Obsidian grabs a nearby nacho, dips it
into the pool in the middle and begins chewing, never moving his eyes away from Reckless Jack. He chews it, slowly but
thoroughly. He swallows, licks his lips and still stares at Reckless Jack. Reckless Jack doesn't eat a
nacho. He doesn't lick the melted cheese or the salsa. He looks back at Obsidian and for a moment, time
stands still. Tension breaks and Reckless Jack recklessly (pun not intended) jumps over the pool of melted cheese and spears
Obsidian. He begins to lay in the left and the right and the left once more. Obsidian kicks Jack off of him and
gets up. Jack runs and performs a flying fore arm. ….well, a MISSED flying forearm. Jack
shakes his head and gets up. He looks at Obsidian but upon turning around, gets blinded by a handful of CHEESE.
Jack tries to wipe it off but during this moment of inability, Obsidian hurracanranas Reckless Jack into the pool. Obsidian then climbs
the turnbuckle and turns down. The crowd is screaming, "CANNON BALL." Obsidian jumps off in beautiful form but in midair,
Reckless Jack pushes him away from the pool, forcing him onto the hard canvas.
Cole: Ouch!
King: You can say that again.
Cole: Ou-
King: SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Obsidian holds onto his back in pain as Reckless Jack begins to leave the pool. He gets onto the canvas and walks
up to Obsidian and brings him to his feet. Jack knees Obsidian in the face and since Obsidian's knee was in the cheese dip, it goes
on Obsidian's face. Obsidian ignores the pain to lick his lips and take out a piece of hair that is in his tongue.
Jack feels that it's time to get rid of the foolishness and then slams Obsidian's face into the cage. He does so again,
and then a third time. Obsidian's face is now covered with sticky nachos and a little bit of blood. He's
barely awake! Reckless Jack feels like it's all going to be over with. Obsidian kicks Reckless Jack in the
stomach and raises him on his shoulders. Is he going to do it? Yes! He'll attempt the
"Gun in Hand"! Obsidian with his love of nachos gets mesmerized for being that close to it, and falls off of Reckless Jack's
shoulders. He's so surprised that when Reckless Jack turns around, he accidentally sends a mist of cheese to his face when saying
"WOW." Reckless Jack falls down, knocked out from Obsidian's cheesy breath. The referee makes the
count:
One…
Two…
Three…
Four….
Five…
Six…
Seven…
Eight…
Nine….
Ten!
Winner and STILL XHF Junior-Heavyweight Champion: Obsidian!
Cole: And Obsidian has done it ladies and gentlemen, even though the most bizarre circumstances this evening he's retained the gold once more!
*Then just mere moments after his amazing match against Obsidian, Reckless Jack is
still standing at ringside, part of him covered still in cheese. He gets a
microphone from a
ringside attendant. Tapping it a couple of times, he slowly brings it
up to his mouth...*
:jack : As we all know, Night of Champions is just around the corner
and recently, I talked about redemption. Through my entire XHF career,
there has been one
thing I've never been able to do. It's not necessarily about titles or tournaments,
it's about beating one man. This man changed the course of my life.
This
man drove me to alcohol. That's right, Hardcore Harry, I am fucking
calling you out one last time here tonight. I want you at Night of Champions VII and not just in any old
normal match either...
no. By god I want this to be Master of Horrors Redux! Answer me bitch...
Cole: WOW, what a challenge being laid out on the table by Reckless Jack this evening!
King: Yeah hopefully Harry says yes though, because between this and everything else the card for Night of Champions is starting to look insanely stacked already and we're only one week into March so far Cole!
*Reckless Jack then hands the microphone back off nearby as he walks to the back with a sadistic smirk of sorts across his face regarding the previous challenge and we slowly fade to commercial for the moment.*
*"Image of the Invisible" by Thrice hits as a Bible comes as the picture on the Xtremetron.
"We're more than carbon and chemicals
We are the image of the invisible
Free will is ours and we can't let go
We are the image of the invisible
We can't allow this, the quiet cull
We are the image of the invisible
So we sing out this, our canticle
We are the image of the invisible"
Genesis and Exodus step out onto the ramp and raise their arms as the crowd cheers. Exodus goes to the crowd and starts talking to the fans as Genesis blesses the ring with a cross, then they turn back to back and point to themselves saying, "Feel the wrath of a vengeful God." The chorus hits as they finally break to the ring.
"We all were lost now we are found
No one can stop us or slow us down
We are the named and we are known
We know that we'll never walk alone"
They roll into the ring. Exodus stands in the center of the ring arms outstretched waiting. Genesis leaps to the middle rope (not turnbuckle) and looks out over the crowd. He signs them and then his partner with the cross. He leaps down and they both stand together waiting.*
King: And now, we await the presence of our infamous tag team champions.
*The lights shut off, as The Punishers Skull is slowly lowered from the ceiling, as blue lights flicker off it in extremely familar fashion. Black spider logos are shown spinning around on the logo, as the beginning of "A Perfect Circle" by Judith is heard over the PA system. The crowd gets to their feet booing the men who are about to come out, as huge blue flaming pyros shoot up off the stage.
"You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why"
Suddenly The Young Guns, Venom and Charlie Velez, emerge from the back. Venom is wearing his trench vest with his wrestling gear, as Charlie Velez is wearing a sleeveless Support The Young Guns shirt. Charlie Velez holds his arms up in the air, as Venom is walking back and forth on the top of the ring shouting words at the crowd, getting them more and more hyped up. Venom continues to walk down the ramp screaming at the crowd, as Charlie Velez holds his arms up, as he walks backwards down the ramp, staring at the logo. Charlie Velez points to the logo, as he finally puts his arms down and turns towards the ring, and he and Venom slide into the ring. They both get to their feet and climb up the nearest corners, and climb up to the top rope. Charlie Velez once again does his signature taunt, as Venom begins to brush off his shoulders. Venom leaps off the second rope and takes his trench vest off, as Charlie Velez takes off his Young Guns shirt. Charlie Velez smirks at the crowd, as he gets off the second rope, and walks over to his partner. The two begin to talk strategy until the bell rings.*
Cole: Let's see who's going to start this one off tonight.
XHF Tag Team Championship Match
Testament (Genesis/Exodus) vs. The Young Guns (Venom/Charlie Velez) (c)
Velez and Venom agree after some preliminary chatter, and it looks like Venom will be starting things off for the defending champions' side, and on the challenger's side, we see Genesis starting things off. The two both bounce around the ring, full with energy. Finally, they approach each other, and lock up in a grapple. Genesis wins out initially in the grapple with an armdrag takedown, and immediatly stops Venom from bouncing back up by locking his arm into an arm lock. He pulls backwards with all his might, trying to wrench Venom's arm out of the socket. Eventually, Venom is able to kip up though, and out of the arm lock, but at the same time Genesis is up. The two back up a bit, with Venom shaking his arm. Genesis is still as energetic and determined as when he walked into the ring the first time, but Venom isn't, as his arm is still aching a bit. The two lock up once more, this time with Venom utilizing a cheap kick to Genesis' midsection, and following it up with an irish whip. When Genesis runs back towards Venom, Venom leaps back, and hits a springboard back elbow which knocks Genesis to his ass, holding his jaw in shock. Genesis spins back up to his feet though, and the two approach each other again. However, Genesis spins around at the last second, and tags in his partner, Exodus. Exodus doesn't give his opponent a chance to tag in Velez, and he sprints across the ring with a huge dropkick. He leaps back up, and as Venom struggles to get back to his feet in time, Exodus jumps foreward, and lands on Venom's shoulders, and exucutes a picture perfect hurricanrana. He leaps back into the air, ready to inflict more punishment, but he makes a mistake by walking back into the corner, where none other than Charlie Velez himself delivers a cheap shot from behind. The referee runs over to scold Velez right away, but in the meantime, Venom has already taken advantage by whipping Exodus into the ropes, and knocking him to the canvas with a spinning heel kick. Exodus crawls back a bit, and catches Venom off gaurd with a drop toe hold. He then climbs to his feet, and when Venom is back up, Exodus delivers a rake to the eyes and a DDT for good measure. Exodus is back up again, and rather than wait for his opponent to rise, he tags in his partner once again. Genesis jumps over the ropes and into the ring, still pumped up as he was earlier on. He runs towards Venom, and lands a huge spinning heel kick, knocking Venom back into his corner. Venom shakes his head, and tags in his partner, Charlie Velez, who walks through the ropes, looking determined to put an end to Genesis' momentum once and for all. He immediately ducks a clothesline, and bounces off the ropes, returning with a powerful clothesline of his own. He wastes no time in picking up Genesis by the head, and taking a step back for room, then doing a vicious spinning neckbreaker.
Cole: No doubt about it, the Young Guns are at the top of their game tonight with the gold on the line and Night of Champions itself in clear sight up ahead.
Velez lifts up Genesis once more moments later, and whips him into the ropes. He bounces off the ropes himself, and hits a diving shoulder block onto Genesis. Genesis crawls to his feet slowly, but by the time he does, Velez tags in Venom, who jumps to the top rope from the apron. Velez watches as Venom hits a perfect missle dropkick onto Genesis, who by this time is wasted with exhaustion from the attacks. Venom pulls Genesis to his feet, and then he runs towards the ropes, jumps on to the second one, and it appears as if we're going to see the Spinning Brutality, until Genesis somehow ducks out of the way, and Venom lands awkwardly on his side. Genesis, still sedated, crawls to the other side and tags in Exodus, but at the same time, Venom tags Velez back in, and the two opposing forces run towards each other at full speed. Velez kicks Exodus in the midsection, spins around him, and executes a German suplex. He spins back to his feet, and pulls Exodus back up, only to deliver a stomach crusher to his gut. Velez steps back, and grins at the crowd, half of which boos, and the other half of which cheers. Exodus crawls to his feet, and Velez turns to hack Exodus' hand wrapped around his neck. Velez is shocked, as he is being choked, but finally, Exodus ends the maneuver with a devestating chokeslam. He steps back, then runs foreward, and knocks Venom off the apron. At this, the referee yells at Exodus, but then leans out of the ring and asks Venom if he's ok. Exodus puts a foot up, and gently pushes the referee out of the ring, since his back was turned. He then turns his attention back to Velez, and now Genesis is in the ring as well, the both of them stomping Charlie. Genesis picks Velez up and holds him while Exodus delivers some rights and lefts, consequently knocking the wind out of him. The referee landed on his head when he fell out of the ring, and at this point its obvious that he's subdued temporarily (and convieniantly, as always). Venom takes advantage of this, and walks around to the other side of the outter ring. He grabs one of the tag titles from an announcer, and rolls into the ring, behind Genesis- Exodus doesn't notice that Venom's there because he's still too busy punching Velez. Venom runs and slams the title belt into the back of Genesis' head, and then smashes it ruthlessly into a suprised Exodus' head as well. He then tosses the belt out of the ring, and picks Exodus up, and delivers an Xed Out to Exodus, who's now virtually knocked out. Venom slides out of the ring to revive the referee, as Velez slowly crawls over to pin Exodus. The referee isn't fully conscious when Venom pushes him into the ring, but when Velez covers Exodus, the referee is able to make a very slow count of 1.....2.....but NO Genesis interupts the count! Venom runs at Genesis at full speed, and leaps at him with a cross body, and the two fly over the top rope together and out of the ring, where Venom begins to hammer away on his adversary. In the ring, however, Velez is hanging on to the ropes with all the strength he has left, staring at Exodus' limp body. He looks around, not sure what to do next, so he picks up Exodus and executes an elimentary body slam. After whipping Genesis into the steps, Venom slides back into the ring itself, and the two signal for the X Effect. Venom picks Exodus up into the sidewalk slam position, and it looks like we're going to see it. And yes, indeed we do! Velez covers Exodus immediately afterward: One...Two...THREE!
Winners via Pinfall and STILL XHF Tag Team Champions: The Young Guns, aka Venom & Charlie Velez!
Cole: What a match!
King: That it was Cole, those Young Guns are firmly still on top of our tag division and made a major statement here tonight that they're here to stay until the very end of XHF as it were.
**The lights in the arena go down to black as we return from commercial for our eagerly anticipated main event. Suddenly two giant pyros
shoot off from either side of the stage as the crowd is slammed into
the chorus of Electric Light Orchestras variation on In the Hall of the
Mountain King. The Xtreme-Tron looks as if a hole is being burned
through it. The burned outline forms a shape, the shape of a bird,
suddenly, the entire area of the bird lights up with flames, a phoenix.
The letters XHF fall onto the phoenix as the flames continue on with
shots of Mongo's career within the phoenix. The song continues as a
black bird image emblazoned with XHF is projected onto the ring mat.
The letters H and F are projected onto the ramp way. Suddenly, two
white flares fire from either side of the entranceway, they cross
forming an X. As they sparkle and fizz, Mongo walks under the large X
above him. He then makes his way down to the ring amidst a cheering
crowd.*
Cole: And here comes our ever-determined owner himself, ready to potentially end the illustrious history of XHF's European Title altogether should he come out victorious tonight.
*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.*
XHF European Championship Match
(If Mongo wins, the title is retired on the spot, if Rob Arnold wins the belt stays in active competition)
Mongo the Destroyer vs. Rob Arnold (c)
Mongo and Rob Arnold are now in the ring, both glaring at each other fiercely as they anxiously await the start of this critical matchup. The bell finally rings and Rob Arnold throws him off guard with a spear. Mongo hits the floor and puts his hands to his back. Rob sees an opportunity and runs to the ropes, he jumps on the top one, and moonsaults back, but Mongo rolls out of the way however. They both get to their feet at the same time. They glance at each other for a quick second before they run up to each other lock up. Mongo takes advantage and gets Rob Arnold in a top wrist lock. With a grunt, Rob Arnold reverses the hold into a hammerlock. Mongo struggles but can't get free of it. Arnold follows it up by pushing him into the ropes and then gets rid of the move by rolling Mongo back for a pin: One, Two, Kickout! The kickout was actually so strong from the big man in Mongo that it through Arnold clear through the ropes and out of the ring.
Cole: This looks pretty even but I think Mongo might get it.
King: Get what? His ankle broken?
This showed the resilience of the determined Mongo the Destroyer. Rob Arnold gets back to his feet outside and glares at Mongo, who has a smirk on his face. Mongo continues his cockiness toward Rob Arnold, but he takes advantage of this by running up to the ring, however not inside, and tugs on one of Mongo's legs a little bit. Mongo pulls his foot away and actually begins to point and yell at this. Arnold puts his hands up, faking innocence but drops the act as he jumps on the apron, grabs his head, drops off the apron and forces Mongo's throat straight down onto the top rope! Mongo drops to the ground and Rob Arnold jumps to the top rope, jumps off, and hits Mongo with a shooting star press out of nowhere! He goes for the pin: One, Two,..But NO, Kickout! Arnold rolls off him, and punches the canvas in anger. A livid Arnold then picks up Mongo and throws him to the ropes, and follows up with a running and jumping forearm, but Mongo cleverly falls to the ground, and pulls down the top rope, forcing Arnold to jump out of the ring altogether!
Cole: Mongo looks as if he is going to make the comeback. Can he do it?
King: Well he might be too hurt to do it though Cole.
Mongo forces himself up, despite the pain, climbs up to the top turnbuckle, facing him, gets in perfect position so he's facing him, and jumps off, hitting Rob Arnold with a massive full body splash down below! Mongo slowly rolls off of Rob Arnold afterward, and they both lay on the ground as they both are very tired by now, however, this is just a regular match and as so, there is a ring out count: One, Two, Three, Four, Mongo gets up. Five, He gets inside the ring. Six, Seven, Rob Arnold slowly gets up, Eight, He walks over to the ring, Nine, He slides inside right before the tenth count, but the entrance is not too pretty as he is greeted with kicks to the back of Rob Arnold. Seeing as it is his weak spot, he yells in great pain. Mongo grabs a hold of Rob Arnold's ankle and locks in a firm figure-four leglock suddenly! The crowd gasps as Rob Arnold yells in pain, trying desperately to find a way out for the sake of his own European Championship reign of course. He eventually does so as he grabs the ropes and the referee counts: One Two Three Four He lets go.
Cole: Oh man, Mongo ALMOST had Arnold beat and the title retired right on the spot just then.
King: That he did, but as usual Rob has a few tricks up his sleeve so I wouldn't count him out just yet by any means!
Mongo steps in front of Rob Arnold, preparing to do the same maneuver all over again but this time, Rob Arnold takes initiative by grabbing Mongo's leg, about to go for the Icebreaker, aka an anklelock, and after a bit of struggle and positioning, he has it locked in! The crowd is shocked as the XHF owner is quite possibly on the verge of defeat here! Rob Arnold pulls as hard and desparately as he can but Mongo isnt about to give in it appears! He is doing everything humanly possible he can not to lose and be humiliated by losing under a match stipulation he brought on himself in the first place! Mongo uses his upper body to raise himself off the canvas and swing himself around the ring to try to loosen the vice-like grip that Rob Arnold has on him, and sure enough it's working. His hands are slipping but Mongo's body is growing tired from battling back against him it seems. He stops the swinging but tries to sustain the damage. Rob's near the ropes which means that Mongo is away from it, and he can't grab it. His only hope is reversing, or having Rob let go, of which the second option is certainly more plausible at this point. Rob is slowly letting go still, but wait! What's this?!! None other than the monster known as Mr. X himself is running quickly down to the ring in the background, just out of the referee's sight! He soon sneaks up on the apron near Rob Arnold, and readjusts the previous hold, allowing Rob to apply it more painfully than he has all along thus far. And indeed that's it! Mongo has no alternative whatsoever than to tap for his own physical well being, and the referee didnt see a single thing regarding Mr. X in the process!
Winner via Submission AND STILL the active XHF European Champion: Rob Arnold!
Cole: Damnit Mr. X helped Rob Arnold to win and salvage his European championship status, but even more importantly than that it seems he's taken out another obvious display of personal torment toward Mongo himself heading into the Night of Champions main event later this month!
King: Exactly Cole, you can BET that with how this match just shook out Mongo won't be the least bit pleased at all and is sure to be out for blood the rest of the way as far as X is concerned!
*Meanwhile back at ringside while Rob quickly grabs the European title and disappears up the rampway out of sight we cut directly to an all too telling split screen on the faces of both Mongo and Mr. X themselves. While X is seen to be manically laughing over his latest actions outside the ring Mongo has sat back up inside the ring and as this evening's broadcast fades out for good we see an absolutely irate expression of both anger and disgust on the XHF owner's face and he is continually mouthing toward X that he'll have his own measure of payback soon enough one way, or another as Night of Champions VII keeps right on growing larger and larger on the Xtreme horizon...*
