____________________________________________________________________
*Following a formal intro video for the event, as seen previously, we open up to the night's frenzied, sold out arena crowd right in the heart of Chicago with the official Retribution event banner being displayed on the Xtreme-Tron, explosions going off all over the place and the official Retribution show theme of "All Nightmare Long" by Metallica playing loudly across the building's PA System. We then zoom in even further on ringside moments later and the background music dies down completely as our usual commentators Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler cut in right away before the much anticipated in-ring action begins on this year's edition of the Retribution broadcast....*
Cole: Folks welcome both to those of you here in the U.S. and also our worldwide viewers as XHF Retribution 2009 has at long last arrived!
*Fans are standing on their feet throughout the arena.*
King: Coming to you live from the United Center here in Chicago, Illinois.
Cole: A truly spectacular card is in store for you all here tonight.
King: The first match of the evening is a Steel Cage match matter of act.
*The camera pans over to the top of the arena where you see the cage hanging and looming from high above.*
Cole: And the opponents, are brothers as it were.
*Suddenly, the arena lights begin to flicker off and on and as the crowd rises to it's feet immediately in anticipation, a combination of loud guitar riffs and the following words slowly begin to echo and scroll across the massive Xtreme-Tron screen above...
"I caught a chill,
And it's still frozen on my skin,
I think about why,
I'm alone, by myself,
No one else to explain,
How far do I go?,
No one knows,
If the end is so much better, why don't we just live forever?,
Don't tell me I'm the last one in line,
Don't tell me I'm too late this time..."
*With this, the daunting chorus of "Breaking Inside" by Shinedown kicks in over the PA as the XHF's own Matt Hicks himself then emerges from behind the curtain with wife Jennifer Dream by his side! Moments later this infamous duo proceeds to make their way on down the rampway to an overwhelming sea of crowd jeers, and soon amidst this the former multiple-time XHF title holder in Hicks makes his way up the ring steps, leaving his lovely wife to continue cheering him on from down below. Once inside the ring Matt goes to lean over toward the ropes and taunt off some raising a set of fiercely clenched fists to this entire sellout, roaring crowd of Xtreme Hardcore Federation fans joining us here tonight. Afterwards Hicks begins to bounce back and forth off the ropes flexing a bit, eagerly awaiting the emergence of his opposition at this point...*
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen weighing in at 147 lbs., here is Matt Hicks!
Cole: This could be a messy match. I mean brothers going at it with each other is always a recipe for disaster one way or another.
King: You know my mom used to say that she would put me and my brother out in the front yard with gloves on and we could just duke it out. Now days it is a cage match. This way is much better.
*The lights all begin to dim down a bit as the crowd begins to cheer after "Have a Nice Day" by Bon Jovi comes over the audio system, and they all look towards the curtains knowing that Seth Evans is about to make his presence.
Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly!
When the world gets in my face,
I say: Have a Nice Day!
Have A Nice Day!
As the chorus finally comes over the audio system, Seth Evans comes out from behind the curtains with sunglasses hiding his eyes. A bright smile across his face as he begins to walk down the aisle and shake hands with a few of the fans along the way down to the ring… at the bottom of the ramp, he starts into a sprint and slides underneath the bottom rope and pushes himself back up to his feet. After getting back to his feet, he goes to the nearest turnbuckle and steps up to the second turnbuckle, pointing out to all the fans and gives them a thumbs up before lowering his arms back to his side. He spins in a 180-degree circle while coming off of the second turnbuckle and lands back on his feet… he walks towards the official of the match and greets, and shakes his hand before handing his sunglasses out to the timekeeper and waiting for the start of the match.*
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen weighing at 209 lbs., here is Seth motherf***ing Evans!
Cole: Can you believe these two are brothers?
King: Hard to believe, very hard considering they're polar opposites of each other in just about every way humanly possible.
*The cage is now being lowered. The ref made it out of the ring. The cage gets ¾ over the ring and Seth politely holds out his hand in another act of good sportmanship on his part. Matt looks at him and then then with a smug grin on his face reluctantly returns the gesture and shakes his hand*
Cole: I think Matt learned his lesson the last time around.
King: Seth knows plenty well what to expect in regards to Matt and the rest of his family members by now.

The cage is now locked, secured and surrounding the ring entirely as the bell rings in the background. The two brothers go to lock up right away and Matt places a BOOT to the midsection of Seth. Matt grabs his head and nails a RIGHT Punch. The force of the punch knocks Seth to the mat. Seth was getting to his feet and Matt locks in a HEADLOCK. Seth sends Matt into the ropes. As Matt rebounds Seth jumps over him and Matt goes into the ropes and he rebounds and Seth takes him down with an ARM DRAG.
Cole: This will be an extremely interesting match.
King: Starting out slow.
Matt gets to his feet. Seth is to his. Seth keeps a hold of the arm. Matt pushes Seth back into the ropes. Matt places a KNEE into Seth's midsection. He grabs him and sends him into the ropes. Seth rebounds. Matt scoops him up and right into a BODY SLAM. Matt drops a LEG DROP right across the chest of Seth. Matt gets to his feet and he bring Seth with him. Matt grabs Seth's head and goes running and SLAMS his head into the turnbuckle. Matt goes to Irish Whip Seth across the ring but it is REVERSE and Matt goes into the corner, hitting his back hard. Seth comes charging in and nails a FOREARM SMASH. Matt comes out of the corner and Seth grabs his head and SLAMS it into the steel cage!
Cole: Matt Hicks was the first one to taste the steel cage.
King: I was figuring Seth would be the first one.
Matt turns around and Seth delivers a NORTHERN LIGHT SUPLEX. Seth gets to his feet and he brings Matt to his feet. Matt is holding onto his back. Seth sends Matt up and over the rope and face first into the cage again. Matt falls to the mat. Seth goes to the top rope and ELBOW DROP right on skull of Matt. Seth gets to his feet. He looks up and decides to get on the tope rope and decide to start climbing the cage. Matt gets to his feet and he gets to the top rope. Lucky for Matt Seth was still in arms length. He reached up and grab a leg and pulls Seth to the mat. Seth hits hard on the mat. Matt turns and nails a FROG SPLASH.
Cole: I think the tide has turned on Seth.
King: I think Matt's ship had came in.
Matt stands up and starts STOMPING on Seth's head. Matt stops stomping and mounts Seth and begins throwing PUNCHES to his face. Seth is trying to protect his face as much as possible. Finally Matt gets off pulls Seth to his feet. He takes Seth over to the steel cage and RAKES his face across the steel cage. He pulls Seth's face away and looks at it. He does not see any blood so he RAKES his face again, this time a little harder and longer. He pulls Seth's face away and he saw blood. Matt then ERUROPEAN UPPERCUT that sends Seth to the mat. Matt goes to the top rope and starts to climb the steel cage. He stops, he looks down and sees Seth on his feet. Matt turns and leaps and nails a DOUBLE AXEHANDLE right to Seth's head. Sending Seth back to the mat.
King: I think Matt is wanting Seth to feel some pain.
Cole: Does Seth even know where he is at?
Matt picks Seth up and IRISH WHIPS him into the ropes. Seth rebounds and is taking down with a DROP KICK. Matt gets to his feet and has a smirk on his face. He picks Seth up. He has a fist full of Seth's hair and drags him over to the side of the cage. He goes to slam Seth head into the cage but Seth stops the move. Matt feels a couple of ELBOWS to his midsection. Matt releases Seth hair. Seth places 2 more ELBOWS to Matt's midsection. Seth then grabs Matt's head and SLAMS it right into the steel cage. Seth does not stop at one, nor does he stops at two, he finally let go of Matt's head after slamming Matt's face into the steel cage a total of 5 times. The camera focus on Matt's face and we see blood coming from his face. Seth picks Matt up like he was going to body slam him but instead he runs and rams Matt back right into the cage. Matt lets out a scream.
Cole: Seth is taking it to Matt.
King: That had to hurt.
Seth still has a hold of Matt and nails a BACK BREAKER.. He drops Matt on the mat. Matt is trying to take so pressure off of his back so he bridge. Seth goes to the corner. He hops on the top rope and he starts climbing the cage. Matt is struggling to make it to his feet. He finally does. He looks around and finally sees Seth half way up the cage. So Matt rushes over to the corner. He wipes the blood out of his eyes. He to leaped on top rope and started pursuing Seth. Seth happens to look down and see Matt hot on his trail. Seth got just a little excited and lost a hold of the cage with one of his hand. He got a hold. He decided that he should increase his climb. Blood is still coming from each opponents.
King: A race to the top!
Cole: Forget the top. Who will be the first to reach the floor below?!
Seth gets to the top. He gets a leg over the top and pulls himself up on top of the cage. He looks below and Matt is just a few inches away from him. Seth sat on top of the cage and started kicking at Matt. He connects with the first one. Matt almost lost his balance. Seth tries another kick and he misses.
Cole: Why don't Seth just drops to the floor and end this match.
King: Maybe he has something else planned.
Seth gets up and he turns to step off when Matt grabs his leg and Seth lost his balance and went down on the top of the cage. Matt pulls himself up onto the top of the cage. Matt takes the leg that he had and SLAMED it on the cage. Seth lets out a scream.
Cole: That was the same leg that Seth used to kick Matt in the face with.
King: That will teach him.
Matt then SLAMS the leg on to the cage again. Seth screams in pain. Matt delivers a ELBOW DROP to that leg.
Cole: I think Matt is trying to break that leg.
King: That Elbow drop did not feel good on that leg.
In fact the camera picked up on a cut that was bleeding from Seth's leg. Seth is trying to move away from Matt. In fact he has one leg over the side of the cage. He tries to move toward that when Matt pulls him back. Matt brings Seth to his feet. Seth is having problem standing. Matt nails a RIGHT and a LEFT COMBINATION to the face of Seth. Seth returns with a RIGHT.
King: They are trading punches on top of the cage.
Cole: Bad spot to be doing that...
Finally after the third exchanges, Matt leans over and pull the hurt leg right out for underneath Seth. Seth nails the cage with his back. Matt rolls Seth over and begin just PUNCHING his back. With each punch Seth screams in pain. After about 3 punches Matt goes to grab Seth's bad leg, but Seth was like no way and he kicks Matt right in the midsection. This causes Matt to lose his balance and he in turn falls completely off the cage. He lands on the announce table, flying straight through it in the process and landing with a wickedly loud thud on the floor!
Winner via Cage Escape: Matt Hicks!
Cole: MY GOD, what an insane way to end the match! I don't think Seth had that planned.
*The ref is now over there as Matt is very very slowly getting back to his feet. The ref raises his hand in victory as Matt appears dazed and has a glazed over look in his eyes, quite possibly the result of a concussion sustained seconds earlier as a result of the incredible fall he took.*
King: Matt got the win over his brother....and what an "Xtreme" way in every sense of the word to get it.
Cole: Yeah this is a match neither man will soon forget or get over the effects of physically that's for sure.
**daredevil comes out to the ramp singing a random theme song then climbs the xtremetron and dives off of it into the ring, almost breaking his neck**
Cole: Well Daredevil is here and well, he’s out here to win!
King: Hasn’t won a match yet Cole, but he gets an A for effort!
**"The Big Payback" hits as Pyro comes strutting down the entrance ramp to the music. As he walks by a couple of old ladies... he bigs thrusting his pelvis in their faces. Then grabs their hands to rub his flabby chest. As continues to dance his way down... coming to a bunch of younger girls but legal. He kisses them on the lips, then slips them his room key. He spins around and moonwalks down to ramp, then spins back and blows kisses at a few more mature chicks. He gets in the ring, then jumps on the top rope. Takes his hand and puts it deep into his tights to adjust himself. He then pulls them open and looks down. He looks up and smiles big then looks at a random woman... shaking his head in a positive motion.*
Cole: And his partner Pyro is here.
King: And might I say Cole, their cocks are HUGE.
*“Real American” by Rick Derringer and Kenny Bernhard blares over the PA system as “The Real American” Jimmy Fat and Funaki make their way to the ring taunting and slapping fan’s hands left and right following by Alexander Bluff who is just checking his watch. Once inside the ring Jimmy starts doing muscular poses in the center of the ring as Funaki climbs the turn buckle and starts posing. Funaki jumps down and does his Signature “Numba one” taunt as Jimmy finishies his routine with a “bearhug” like motion and red white and blue fireworks go off behind them.*
Cole: And here are the Allied Powers!
King: Well I sure hope they’re able to do some damage despite their smaller genetalia.
Cole: …

In the ring are Funaki and Daredevil to start things off. They lock up and Daredevil uses his muscular strength to push Funaki back. Funaki gets up and yells “XHF NUMBA ONE ANNOUNCA!” He pushes Daredevil but Daredevil pushes back harder and it’s hard enough to push Funaki to the canvas. Funaki gets back up and yells back even louder, “XHF NUMBA ONE ANNOUNCA.” Daredevil tries to throw a punch but Funaki catches it and throws one back, again, repeating, “XHF NUMBA ONE ANNOUNCA.” Daredevil then yells “SHUT UP.” Funaki gives Daredevil a cheap shot in the stomach, forcing him to bend forward then runs to the ropes, bouncing back and hitting Daredevil with a bulldog.
Cole: Funaki is telling us just who the number one announcer is!
King: But we already know, Cole!
Funaki brings Daredevil up and begins to exchange punches, eventually coming up with a number of tough punches as well. Funaki Irishwhips Daredevil but he reverses it and Daredevil quickly tags in his partner, Pyro. Pyro jumps over the ropes and into the ring at the same time that Funaki bounces back. Daredevil jumps up high and knocks Funaki in the face with a high-impact pelvis thrust. Funaki staggers back, holding his face and Pyro begins laying down some kicks. Funaki staggers back even more and Pyro finishes the combo off with a power slam pin! The referee gets into position: One… Two… Kickout!
Cole: Pyro is laying the shit down!
King: Yeah but the Allied Powers have only exerted half their force!
Pyro gets up and gets Funaki up also. Pyro brings him to their corner and tags in Daredevil. Pyro then grabs Funaki into a headlock while Daredevil gets into the ring. Daredevil begins laying punch after punch for about ten seconds, when the referee forces Pyro out of the ring. Daredevil begins wailing on Funaki and snap suplexes him. Daredevil yells, saying it’s over. He brings Funaki to his feet one more time and goes for the DKO, but Funaki is able to push Daredevil out of the way. Funaki leaps hoping for a tag and is able to tag in Jimmy Fat!
Cole: Oh God.
King: The ring will shake from with wei-…power!
Jimmy Fat enters the ring and tries to strike at Daredevil, but he’s too slow and dodges out of the way. Daredevil goes for the DKO… but isn’t able to get Jimmy Fat down. Jimmy Fat has Daredevil picked up with only his NECK. Fat reverses by putting Daredevil on his shoulders and hitting a fireman’s carry. Jimmy Fat poses and Pyro knows he’s going for Old Glory. Pyro rushes out to the ring but Funaki tackles him and they both go out of the ring. Jimmy Fat hits Daredevil with Old Glory! Pin: One… Two… Three!
Winners via Pinfall: The Allied Powers – Jimmy Fat and Funaki!
Cole: The Allied Powers win in their first match!
King: Despite their rather small cocks!
*Terry Bradshaw heads to the ring as we cut back in from a break, wearing a backwards baseball cap. Slapping the hands of everyone, while the "NFL on Fox" song plays. He throws some gang signs and wipes his nose with his right hand.*
Cole: The coolest kid in town.
King: Kid? Isn't he pushing 70?
Cole: What?!?! Lies.
King: The same lies when people said you were good at your job.
*And out next is....Billy Crystal who rides down to the ring with a dirty Yankees cap. While "City Slickers" plays in the background. Crystal jumps n the ring with rope in hand.*
King: Jews... their will be a ton of these assholes tonight.
Cole: Anti-Semitic?
King: No... i just hate Jews and their conniving ways... big noses... and shitty attitude.

Gauntlet Match
Terry Bradshaw vs. (In order of entry) Billy Crystal, Ariel Sharon & Erez Schlomowitz
______________________________
Billy Crystal takes his rope and swings it in the air as the bell rings to signify the start of this contest. Terry Bradshaw looks at him... as Billy lets go and throws the lasso around his neck. Terry punches the rope in mid air. It bounces back and hits billy in the face. Terry gets down and runs at Billy for a shoulder tackle. Down he goes...
King: If only Anne Frank got down from the attic that fast.
Billy Crystal lays out.... as Terry poses over him. Billy gets up and turns his hat around. He puts on his mean face, as he pulls a rossin bag from his Yankee days. As he throws it up in the air, he catches it... and he repeats. He drops it behind him then walks up to Terry with his fist clenched up. He pulls off the heaviest punch one could ever deliver.... it smacks Terry in the chin but what appears to be slow motion is not. It's actually the speed of the punch and thus it does no damage.
King: Jews can't play for the Yankees... they certainly can't punch 70 year old ex football players who think they're kids just cause he's a tardo now.
Cole: I don't expect you to be here long tonight.
King: I bet I last the entire show. Afterall, XHF is a racist company.
Terry wipes the punch off.... he looks at Billy who has nothing left to do but run. Does he? No. He goes off the ropes for one last attempt at glory. He clotheslines Terry but we see his shoulder pop right out of place. He stands there leaned over, as Terry slaps him then body slams him to the hard mat. He runs off the ropes and collapses to his knees....pinning Billy Crystal with a cover. For a count of: 1...2...3!
Eliminated: Billy Crystal.
King: I don't know what to say here...
Cole: nothing.
King: Except this is turning out like the new age holocaust.... one jew down.
Ariel Sharon is now heading to the ring, as a Israel flag waves in the background on the XtremeTron. While an ambulance beeping can be heard. As the EMTs rush out, the back of the ambulance is sticking out of the entranceway. They rush Ariel Sharon out, wheeling him down to the ring in his bed. They slide him in, as he is still hooked up to his medical equipment.
King: Wow... this jew is nearly dead. Win.
Cole: STOP IT NOW!!!
King: Don't be so jew, Cole.
Cole: .....
King: I meant cruel.
As he slides in, Terry is confused again. He scratches his head, as Mr. Ariel is apparently in a coma and is not moving at all. Terry stands over him, slaps him. Laughing as if Ariel is afraid and backing down from the challenge, he forearms him across the body. Ariel's arm snaps out and punches him across the face. As Terry falls... the referee.... pushes his bed across the chest of Terry. 1...2... and a Kickout. Ariel's bed hits the ropes and runs into Terry, knocking him over in a instant. Terry gets up as the bed is catching steam with his arm still sticking out, Ariel clotheslines Terry back down to the mat. He then proceeds to roll over his lifeless body several times. Before coming to a stop....
King: I wonder if his jew family is going to pull the plug already. I mean this is costing them money keeping such a dead soul alive when he's clearly DEAD!!! They can't justify such much being lost.
Cole: .....*huffs*
Ariel is stopped in the middle of the ring. Terry gets up and sees it's time for him to make the move. He climbs the top rope, as he pumps his fist and yells out. He leaps in midair, as he goes to land. The feeding tube pops out of Ariel and sticks up in the air, slamming right into Terry's eye. Terry fall down and rolls around grabbing his eye. Shrieking and crying in pain.
King: Ah... just when you didn't think they were dirty enough.
Cole: Ariel is doing quite well... for being a vegetable.
The referee kicks the bed... and he rolls across Terry's chest. This one is clearly over... 1...2... BUT NO, KICKOUT!!! Terry gets up, blood gushing from his eye. He builds his strength on the crowd.... who is silent and unsure what is happening. Terry punches at Ariel, then dodges the feeding tube. Left...right...right...left.... then slams his fist into the belly. As a cloud of bad breath escapes, nearly blinding Terry Bradshaw. He is is searching around the ring.... looking for Ariel. As he finds him, he jumps on the end of the bed.... which sends Terry to the floor and the coma-ridden Ariel in mid air. He comes full circle and delivers a headbutt to Terry.
Cole: It's over... the prime minister has it!
Since Ariel can't move... he's in a coma. He can't drape the arm over the chest of Terry. Terry comes to his senses after that vicious headbutt. He rolls over Ariel Sharon and then pins him finally: 1...2....3!
Eliminated: Ariel Sharon.
King: Yes... he may be old. He may be old.... and he may be old. He is single handily starting the holocaust all over again.
Cole: I really hate you.
King: That's ok. It's mutual.
As "Sarit Hadad's Yalla Lech Habaita Moti" now blazes through the United Center's PA speakers, Erez slowly comes down dancing to the beat of his music. He thrusts his hips and gives a thumbs up to the crowd then jumps for pyro. He runs down to the ring where he awaits the start of the match.
King: One more left... look at that mug of his. Looks like a circus act... you know like those things you see in a jar in the two headed elephant tent.
Cole: Fake.
King: Yeah... right. Wrestling is scripted from a guy using a computer.
Terry Bradshaw.... smiles at Erez from across the ring. Motioning to him that he will break him in half. Erez walks up to him and starts a break dancing routine. As he gets served, the crowd acknowledges it.
King: Jews have no dancing skill... PERIOD.
Cole: where is the joke?
King: I was thinking me linking dancing to gas chamber would be tasteless.
Erez looks for a quick finish, as he throws his hat at Terry. Terry catches it... takes a bite out of it and then stops on it. Erez is pissed, he rushes at him and throws a fist. He adjusts his glasses as they start falling off, then punches him again. Adjusting his glasses again, he knees him in the chest and hunches him over. He attempts a bulldog but Terry hangs on to the top rope. Erez runs with nothing buy air, as he crashes on his ass. Terry runs off the ropes and kicks Erez in the back. Runs to the other ropes and shoulder tackles him. Quickly jumps on the pin: 1...2... and a Kickout.
King: *tries to talk but his mic was turned off*
Cole: Good point King.
King: *King throws a fit*
Terry lifts him up and body slams him to the mat. Picks him up... and does it again. With Bradshaw's limitless moveset, he decides to body slam again after that. He does a little shuffle dance and drops the knee across Erez's throat. He doesn't pin, instead he climbs the top rope and rubs it in to the fans.
Cole: This is not smart. He needs to move in and finish him.
King: *making more jew jokes but again mic off*
Terry gets down from the top rope, as he turns around. Erez calls for his hat, which actually involved Billy Crystal throwing it back to him. Erez gets up... staggering but with hat in hand. He gets in stance then whips the Jewmerang at Terry Bradshaw. It smacks him in the eye and rips it open. Terry grabs his eye... as Erez sees Terry laid out on the mat. Erez shakes violently, then proceeds to dance his way through the "Feel the Jewsic". He drops the big tomahawk-like chop on his chest, as he then falls to his knees... crawls... and lays his arm across Terry's chest: 1....2.....3!
Winner via Pinfall: Erez Schlomowitz!
King: *jumping up and down, screaming into a dead mic*
Cole: Glad to see King has turned into not only an Erez fan but a fan of the jewish religion.
*Suddenly, the arena is plunged into total darkness and the crowd looks on intently with anticipation. At this point, an ominous "clenched fist" symbol appears across the Xtreme-Tron screen and accompanied by it is the fast-paced, grinding sound of guitar riffs beginning to kick in across the building's sound system. Mere seconds later, the screen abruptly shifts to pure static and the tension builds as after a flurry of drums kick in, the following words begin to echo throughout the building...
"Take a good look at agony,
Force fed pass down,
Time release,
I'm inspired to find the liar,
Black list X on the back,
Of a soulfull man,
I've got way's you understand,
Look left, look right, but I'm,
Behind you,
I never noticed, until I focused,
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head..."
*At the conclusion these very words, BOOM! An explosion of pyro rocks the arena to it's core and in turn the hellraising chorus of none other than "Sin With A Grin" by Shinedown cuts onto the PA in full force. At this, the curtain flips back and without any further adieu, the sadistically smirking figure of XHF legend Rage, with wife Torrie by his side, steps out and onto the top of the stage. Thereafter, the duo struts fiercely on down the ramp to an overwhelming chorus of boos from the entire capacity crowd of XHF fans joining us this evening. Once the duo reaches the the ring area Torrie remains in a supporting stance below, and upon climbing inside the self proclaimed "Revolutionary Redneck" sets off to do his signature Four Corners Salute taunt from each and every corner of the ring, defiantly raising both his fists and a set of all too familiar middle fingers to the crowd. Afterward he makes his way over to lean up against a corner turnbuckle facing the entrance way. From there as a sly, wily look of veteran determination crosses his face he turns his eyes upward toward the curtain, anxiously awaiting the emergence of his opposition here tonight...*
*The lights all quickly flicker out now, as the introduction of "Undead" by Hollywood Undead begins to play. The blue lights cause a reflection all around the arena as the crowd boos waiting for the arrival of Tara Fenix. "Undead" is heard screaming as her theme plays over the audio system.
Undead! Undead! Undead! Undead! Undead! You better get up out the way! Tomorrow we'll run, so let's fight today! And no, I don't give a fuck what you think and say, 'cause we are gonna rock this whole place anyway.
The instrumentals begin to pick up a little more, as the crowd boos louder waiting for Tara still. The XtremeTron is showing clips of famous matches that Tara had competed in many coming in at a time. Still Tara Fenix had not emerged to the crowd. They kept waiting as the lights began to brighten a little more each time as the first verse plays, and the lights can be seen slowly dimming. After a few seconds into the song fireworks begin to shoot off at the stage, and Tara finally comes out from behind the curtains staring out at the crowd that is still booing her. Her hand is raised in the air, showing off the devil horns. Her name was booed throughout the entire arena as she began to make her way down to the ring, dressed in her wrestling attire and sunglasses were hiding her eyes. The chorus of the song comes back over the audio while Tara is walking down the ramp, shifting her glance to each side barricade with fans shouting slurs at her. There was the occasional whistle out from some of the fans. Tara climbs the steel steps and walks towards the middle of the apron of the ring, hooking both her arms around the top rope as she stares out at the crowd. She mumbles a couple words to herself, slurs out to the crowd out of disrespect, as the crowd continues to stare, but as the words continue to go through the entire arena she finally turns towards the ring and goes between the top and middle ropes, giving a small leap to get through. Her pace is slow while she walks towards the side of the ring closest to the commentating booth, handing one of the arena workers the sunglasses, and then turning away from him while he puts the sunglasses on the timekeepers table. She just leans against the ropes while waiting to hear the sound of the bell.*
Cole: And here's the infamous Tara Fenix herself, looking to extract a huge measure of personal Retribution all her own for the various events of the past month now.
King: And what an incredible series of events they really were though, first Rage and Reeshi burn down her own property back at Eve of Champions last month, then Rage stalks her, then the brutal attack at Night of Champions, the list just goes on and on of the terrible, downright sadistic things he's done to provoke her more and more.
Cole: Indeed, and it's all led up to this, the final "boiling over" of sorts for the intense rivalry between these two, and one way or another somebody's not leaving tonight's epic Inferno showdown without some major disfiguration to themselves.

The referee makes a motion to the timekeeper and fire rises, surrounding the ring. The flames about bottom rope high as the bell rings and the match is ready to begin. Rage begins to move around the ring, surveying the scene but Tara wastes little time, connecting with a kick to the left side of Rage, and another and then comes back with one to the right side, sending the redneck back a step or two. She looks to follow it up with the palm strike but Rage ducks under. As the two turn around it's Rage connecting with a solid right hand, and a left, and right, and left, back and forth another two times but Tara strikes with a knee to the gut to interrupt his rhythym. With Rage hunched over, Tara grabs his head and starts running forward for a bulldog but as she leaps into the air, Rage throws her forward. She lands on her rear, sitting up on the mat and Rage follows through with a vicious looking kick to her lower back.
Tara screams in agony, holding her back as Rage grabs her and pulls her up by her hair. Rage strikes with a boot to the mid section and runs into the ropes, coming back to drive the boot into the face of Tara. Tara strikes the mat, landing on all fours as she begins to crawl towards the ropes to help pull herself up. Quickly she realizes the flames and decides to hoist herself up on her own. She gets to her feet but Rage comes up from behind, placing his head under her arms and lifts her up onto his shoulders before falling back with a varied side suplex. Rage drops the elbow onto the face of Tara, and follows up with another one before moving to her feet. He grabs her right foot and falls sideways with it, driving his elbow into the leg of Tara. He does this a second time before grabbing her leg and twisting it; applying pressure in a modified leg lock. Rage lets go of the hold and brings himself back to his feet and stalks Tara as she struggles with a bit of a hobble in an attempt to get back to hers. Rage again comes from behind and delivers a german suplex.
With the redneck in complete control at this point, he grabs her by her arm and begins to drag her towards the ropes and the fire. As they get close can feel the heat and begins to really fight the movement. She strikes with a kick to the side of the leg of Rage, and another, and a third before Rage finally lets go of her arm. A leg sweep knocks the big man off his feet. He is quick to start getting up again but Tara grabs him by the waist and rolls him up. Though there are no pinfalls, Rage's face is left sitting right in front of the flames. In a panic the big man flails his feet, throwing Tara off of him and allowing him the time to roll away. Both are to their feet again and Rage goes after the right leg of Tara, taking it out with a shoulder to the back of the knee.
With Tara down on the mat, Rage delivers some more stomps to the knee. He's picked the leg as a distinct target, looking to keep the speedy Tara grounded and to this point it’s working. Tara, unable to go to the corner attempts to get to her feet again but can't apply much pressure to that leg. Rage meets her while she's on all fours, again pulling her up by her hair. With Tara hunched over, Rage shoves her head between his legs and lifts her up for a Riot Bomb! He gets Tara up to his shoulders but Tara surprises him with a hurracanrana. As Rage rolls through the move Tara tries to meet him with a boot to the midsection but Rage catches it. Before he can do anything to Tara though she delivers an enziguri!
Rage looks in a daze as he drops to the mat, buying Tara some time as she tries to work out her leg on the floor. As Rage begins to stir Tara brings herself to her feet. Tara runs into the ropes and comes off looking for a cross body but Rage has the presence to catch her. He looks to hoist her up onto his shoulders but Tara grabs hold of his head and takes him down with a DDT! With Rage down on the mat, Tara moves to his feet, picking both up and comes with a leg drop to the groin! Tara, sensing an opportunity, grabs his feet again. She lifts up both legs and falls backwards, launching Rage into the fire! Rage goes right through the ropes and flames though and isn't there long enough to catch fire as he crashes onto the mat below! Tara watches from her knees with her hands on her head, realizing the opportunity that has just passed.
Tara begins to move towards each of the four sides of the ring, looking for a way out of the ring to meet Rage. The fire creates a barrier she's not quite comfortable with. Rage begins to get to his feet now on the outside so Tara wastes little time. She runs into the far ropes and comes back, launching herself over the top rope and crashing down on Rage with a twisting body splash! She rotated head over heels as her feet catch Rage in the face on the way down! Both of them are now down on the outside.
The move, obviously taking a toll on Tara as well has both of them getting up at about the same time. Rage gets up on the edge of the entrance ramp while Tara is closer to the ring. Rage has his back to Tara when they first get up but when Tara charges, he turns and greets her with a lou thez press! Rage remains mounted on Tara as he delivers fists of fury to her face. Suddenly a new life from the first ever rumble winner. Rage gets up and taunts the fans sparking an extremely vocal negative reaction. To his surprise though, when he turns around Tara is already to her feet. There's no keeping her down. She moves towards Rage and Rage delivers a powerslam onto the entrane ramp!
Rage, with this second life appears to be in some sort of crazed state as he quickly rolls Tara over and locks in the Rings of Rage! Tara is fighting it, trying to break out of the hold but can't do it. She screams in agony, attempting to reach out for something, anything, trying to claw at Rage as well. Several minutes pass and suddenly the fight is gone; it appears as though she has passed out because of the pain. Rage lets go of the hold and climbs to his feet, staring down at Tara, motionless on the entrance ramp. He then picks her up and drags her dead weight over towards the ring. He puts her down and she flops down onto the mat though it appears as though she's starting to move on her own again now. Rage tries picking her up but she just flops back down to the mat. Rage then grabs her by the back of her head, not her hand or arm, but by the back of her head and lifts it to ring level, attempting to move it forward and put her in the fire face first!
Tara is resisting as much as she can but she is slowly moving closer to the flames. Her face begins to show sweat due to the heat as she inches closer and closer towards the flames. Tara, realizing it's now or never, stomps onto the shin area of Rage, then a second time, and then a third before Rage finally lets go of her head and begins to hobble around on his foot. She turns and shoves Rage back giving her enough room to connect with superkick! The strike isn't quite as strong as she had hoped though as Rage turns and staggers back. Tara runs forward, climbs the guardrail and comes back with the Frozen Fenix!!! A desperation move from Tara and again both competitors are down!
Tara stirs while on the ground, still recovering from the rings of rage earlier while Rage lay motionless, feeling the effects of the Frozen Fenix. As Tara begins to use the barricade to pull herself up, Rage begins to stir on the mat. With one hand on the barricade now and Tara leaning against it she motions for Rage to get up. As he does Tara hooks his arms, Fenix Wings #1!! Tara, realizing the issues Rage had with her dead weight, doesn't even both trying to lift the lifeless Rage. She instead grabs his legs and goes for the same catapault move that sent Rage to the outside earlier in the match. Rage soars into the ring and after hitting the apron chest high, is out cold leaning over the apron and in the fire! With his face resting in the flames his shirt catches fire and the referee, still trapped in the ring, calls for the bell!
Winner via setting the opponent ablaze: Tara Fenix!
*Tara now falls back against the barricade with her arm in the air as "Undead" begins to play once again in the background. Medical personnel rush down to the ring area and pull Rage's face out of the flames, putting out the fire on his shirt. The crew motions for the others to come out but instead the crowd rushes to their feet with boos. Reeshi and Platinum step out from the curtain and begin to make their way down the entrance ramp, staring at Tara who is sitting against the barricade. Hearing the crowd, Tara looks over and sees the two. She pulls herself to her feet, hunched over and staggering after a hard faught match, leaning against the barricade but still standing to face her adversaries. Reeshi stops in front of Tara, staring her down while Platinum walks around Rage to the other side of Tara, as though trapping her against the barricade.*
*The two continue to stare down Tara. Tara's eyes darting back and forth between the two, watching to see who moves in first but continues to wait for one to make the first move, buying herself as much recovery time as possible before having to defend herself. The medical personnel are helping Rage to his feet, looking to get him out of the now hostile environment while they still can. They lift him up with his back to Reeshi and Tara, facing Platinum. As they get Rage to his feet, Platinum makes his move but it's a superkick to the face of Rage! The medical personnel dive away from the area and Rage is spun around from the kick, Reeshi strikes with a boot to the midsection, a hook of the arms, and finally a Coral Reesh to Rage!!!*
*Tara's eyes are wide with shock as Reeshi stares down at Rage. Platinum stands next to Reeshi and the two slowly back up the ramp. Reeshi not taking his eyes off Rage while Tara doesn't take her eyes off the two of them, still in disbelief over what she just saw. Reeshi and Platinum then turn and disappear to the back leaving the medical staff to jump back in on Rage and the victorious Tara standing over the scene in silent, confused dismay as we cut to another commercial break, this time for an official promo to advertise next month's XHF Breaking Point event live on Pay-Per-View from historic Rupp Arena on Sunday, May 31st.*
