[The camera's come alive in the Pacific Coliseum in British Columbia as Thoughtless by Korn begins to play! The camera pans around the arena showing signs being held up by the Canadian fans, such as "Where's The Dew" and "Josh Cantrell is my Love Child". The camera pans down to the announce position where Bob and Rez are seated, ready to call tonights action.]
Bob: Good Evening everyone, welcome to XwC Wednesday Night Hazard! I'm Bob Griffen!
Rez: I'm Matt Reznor. We had a hell of a time in Las Vegas last week at Sin City Showdown, and now we are headed to Fallout, on April 13th!
Bob: But, we got a helluva show to try and top Sin City, and it all kicks off with Apollyon defending his new Extreme Title against the newcomer Mattford Rayne.Then, Joe Max tries to get some of his steam back against the new United Elite Champion, Jeff Gaudet.
Rez: Stone Devane gets his hands on a Dynasty defector when he takes out Josh Cantrell and Startling gets ahold of Travon Jones
Bob: And, if that wasn't enough, you got the new XwC World Heavyweight Champion, Captian Charisma, Brad Daddy, taking on one half of the new Triad Tag Team Champions, The True Heel, Michael Cade.
Rez: Plus, we are supposed to be hearing from a whole mess of former FBW superstars to find out just who Jayson Phoenix has signed to the XwC roster.
Bob: We have an explosive night ahead of us, folks. Lets get it started!
Bob Griffen: Folks this next match is sure to knock some head around.!
Matt Reznor: Jeez Bob!! You’re such an old fogy!! This match is going to kick ass!! We have Apollyon defending his Extreme title which he just won at Sin City Showdown against Mattford Rayne, who is also coming off an impressive victory!
Bob Griffen: Well I did say it was going to be a good one!
[Just then Apollyon music hits the speakers and the fans jump up. He comes out and heads down to the ring.]
Gillian White: Ladies and Gentlemen, our next match of the night is a Kendo Stick match and is for the XWC Extreme Championship!! Coming down to the ring at this time, he is XWC’s Extreme Champion!! Apollyon the Destroyeeerrrr!!
Bob Griffen: You know, not much has been heard from Angel Dawson since losing that title to Apollyon.
Rez: Who cares!! I just want to see some sticks crashing into skulls and I wanna see it fast!
[Apollyon gets in the ring and has his Kendo stick in hand. His music dies out and Rayne’s music hits the speakers.]
Gillian White: And now making his way down to ringside. Mattford Rayne!!!
Bob Griffen: Now this kid, is one helluva competitor! He is fresh off his first ever Triad victory over Chris North at Sin City Showdown! I expect big things from him!
Rez: Blah, blah, blah!! Ring the damn bell already!
[Rayne tries to roll in the ring, but Apollyon is right there, not letting him in. Rayne tries again and Apollyon stops him. Finally Rayne goes to roll in and just as Apollyon is going to try and stop him again Rayne pulls back. He swings his stick and nails Apollyon in the shins. Rayne rolls in the ring and the ref signals for the bell!]
Bob Griffen: And this contest is under way!
[Rayne has Apollyon off guard with that shot and nails the back of Apollyon witht he Kendo stick. Apollyon yells out in pain and grabs his back. Rayne smacks it again! CRACK! Apollyon drops his stick and Rayne grabs him by the hair! He picks him up to his feet and whips him across the ring. Apollyon bounces off the ropes and runs back at Rayne. Rayne lunges forth and holds the stick out in front, colliding it right into Apollyon’s throat! He goes down and Rayne drops for a cover!]
Ref: One! Two! Thre. . .
Bob Griffen: Apolyon able to kick out after that shot!! His thorax has got to be killing him now!
Rez: His what?!
Bob Griffen: His throat!
Rez: Well why didn’t you just say that to begin with!
[Rayne gets up t his feet, still holding his stick and gets Apollyon up too. Rayne gets him up and puts the stick between Apollyon’s legs. Holding it with both hands, he lifts the stick up, causing major problems for Apollyon.]
Rez: Oh wait!!! I didn’t this was going to be one of those kind of matches!!
Bob Griffen: Whatever it is, that’s an impressive feet. Just lifting this monster Apollyon off the ground, that takes strength and guts!
[Rayne does it a couple more times to Apollyon, quickly and sharply, causing obvious pain to Apollyon. He drops him and goes for another cover.]
Ref: one. Two. Three. . .
Rez: Man, Apollyon kicks out again! I couldn’t have done that, after those shots to his stick!!
Bob Griffen: Rez please!
[Rayne yells at the ref a little bit, after those two tries for pin falls. The ref signals it was a two count. Rayne turns his attention back to Apollyon. He picks him up by the hair again, but Apollyon’s able to reach his Kendo Stick! WHACK!!! Apollyon nails a line drive right to Rayne’s nuts. He immediately drops his stick and falls down to the mat. Apollyon takes a couple seconds to get to his feet, but is still able to before Rayne can get up. SLAP!!! A kendo shot across the back of Rayne. SLAP!! Another one!! Apollyon cries out to the audience who deliver their boo’s back to him. Rayne is struggling to get to his feet, by help of the ropes. Apollyon kicks his arms off the ropes, causing him to falls back down to the canvas. Apollyon raises the stick above his head and . . . WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!! Three consecutive kendo sticks shots right to the back of Rayne. Apollyon drops to make the cover.]
Ref: One. Two. Three!
Rez: it’s over!
Bob Griffen: No it ain’t!! Rayne got his foot on the ropes. The ref just saw it.
[Apollyon is raising his hands in victory as the ref is trying to get his attention. Ref is signaling to him no win and Apollyon is getting mad. He raises as if he’s going to hit the ref with the stick, and the ref sticks half his body thru the ropes. He’s pointing at his XWC officials shirt. Apollyon turns his head and points his rage at Rayne. He heads over to Rayne and lunges with the stick to crash down on his back. But no!! Rayne rolls underneath the ropes, just in time. He lands on his hands and knee’s and starts to crawl on the outside of the ring. Apollyon heads to the outside, in chase of Rayne. Rayne starts to crawl under the ring itself.]
Rez: Hey!! Where the hell is he going!?
Bob Griffen: I don’t know! Trying to recuperate I guess. Those kendo stick shots he took, caused some serious damage!
[Apollyon is yelling for Rayne to come out. He lifts up the apron to get him, but nothing. He walks around to the other side and lifts the ring apron. Nothing. ]
Rez: Where the hell did he go!?
[Apollyon goes over to another side and has his Kendo stick ready. He lifts up the ring apron!! SWOOSH!!! Fire Extinguisher stuff comes flying out from underneath, right in Apollyon’s face!!]
Bob Griffen: Oh my god!! Fire Extinguisher in the face of Apollyon.
[Rayne comes crawling out and has another kendo stick. Apollyon has dropped his stick and is trying to clear his eyes. As he brushes his eyes, CRACK!! Rayne nails a kendo stick shot right into the gut and ribs of Apollyon. He bends over in pain and then CRACK!!! Rayne nails another devastating shot tot he back of Apollyon, causing him to falls to his knees.]
Bob Griffen: Oh my God!!! That shot the back of Apollyon was horrendous!! Rayne has gotten control of this match now and it doesn’t look good for Apollyon.
[Rayne drops his Kendo stick and reaches under the ring and pulls out a trash can. Apollyon is getting to his knees and Rayne kicks him in the gut a couple times and has him off guard once again. Rayne slips the garbage can over the top of Apollyon and then picks up the kendo stick. With the garbage can over the top half of Apollyon’s body, Rayne goes to work slamming the kendo stick into the trash can. WHAM! WHAM!! WHAM!!]
Rez: It’s going, going, going, gone!!! HOME RUN!!!! That is a goner!!! Rayne should be called the “Big Ken-Bino”!!
[Rayne grabs the trash can off of Apollyon and nails him again in the gut with the stick, causing him to fall to the ground. The ref is yelling at Rayne to bring itback in the ring, but he pays no attention. Rayne picks Apollyon up and brings him over to the anouncers desk.]
Bob Griffen: Watch out Rez!! It looks like our space it about to be invaded.
[Rayne smashes Apollyon’s head into the announcers desk, causing him to stumble back! Rayne pushes Apollyon back into the ring and walks over and grabs the trash can and throws it into the ring. Rayne rolls into the ring and Apollyon is trying to get to his feet but Rayne smacks him across the back with the kendo stick once again!! Raynce motions a cut throat signal and drops his stick. Rayne gets Apollyon between his legs and picks him up for a power bomb. He slams him down, Sit Down power bomb, crashing Apopllyon into the trash can!!!]
Bob Griffen: Oh my God!! Acid Rayne on the trash can!!!
[Rayne covers Apollyon for the count.]
Ref: One. Two. Three!!
Bob Griffen: Well that was a horrific match!! Both men are going to be hurting later!
[Rayne gets up and the ref raises his hands.]
Gillian White: Ladies and Gentlemen! Your winner of this contest and NEW Extreme Champion!!! Mattford Rayne!!!!
[Rayne has his hands raised and is about to leave the ring. He turns back around and looks at Apollyon. He shakes his head no and you can hear the words, “I’m not threw!”]
Bob Griffen: Oh god, what’s Rayne doing. he just siad he’s not threw!! For God's sake Rayne just leave!
Rez: What’s wrong with him staying!
Bob Griffen: I don’t like either of these guys, but come on, that was a helluva match!!!
[Apollyon is getting to his feet and Rayne grabs the trash can he slammed him threw! He smashes it over Apollyon’s head, sending him right back down!! He drops the trash can and picks up Apollyon throwing him into the turnbuckle. Apollyon has fallen to the canvas and Rayne picks him up by the legs and straps him in the corner by one leg in the tree of woe!]
Bob Griffen: Now what the hell!?!?! Rayne has Apollyon strapped upside down in the turnbuckle. Just leave damn it!!
[Rayne grabs the trash can and WHACK!!! A big slam into Apollyon’s knee that’s strapped in the corner. And again!!! The crowd is beginning to boo. Apollyon yells out in pain!]
DING! DING! DING!
[The ref calls for the bell, as it rings, but Rayne doesn’t stop! He throws the trash can down and picks back up the kendo stick. He raises it into the air and the fans boo!! Then SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! Five consecutive shots to the knee of Apollyon witht he kendo stick. Apollyon is crying out in pain!!]
DING! DING! DING!
Bob Griffen: For God’s sake, get that guy out of there!!
[Rayne goes at Apollyon’s knee again and finally Apollyon falls tot he mat, grabbing his knee in pain.. More referees come out and Rayne rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp, with his music playing and his new extreme title over his shoulder. The refs help Apollyon out of the ring and up the ramp. He doesn’t put any pressure at all on his leg, with the ref almost carrying him up the ramp.]
Bob Griffen: My God!! Folks, I’m sorry for that terrible sight we’ve just seen.
Jayson Pheonix's office door. Behind it was the future of XwC's brightest talent and best newcomers. Behind this door sat the man who made everything possible. The man himself....
Angel: Man, this is a nice office!"
Angel Dawson spun the black leather chair around that she was sitting in, sending herself spinning in circles. She smiled and giggled as the chair slowly came to a stop, facing the corner of the room. She opened the top drawer of Jayson's desk and started fidgeting with a couple of pens and a letter opener that she found. All of a sudden, the door opened and Jayson Pheonix walked in. He stopped dead in his tracks, seeing his nice comfy chair being filled by Angel.
Phoenix: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Angel: Why hello, Mr. Pheonix! I was waiting for you.
[Angel stood up quickly as Jayson closed the door behind him. He looked at her as if she was crazy as she strolled up to him, smiling.]
Phoenix: What do you want, Angel?
Angel: I want Apollyon gone.
Phoenix: That's easier said than done, you realize.
[Jayson made his way to HIS leather chair and sat in it, turning to face Angel. He leaned back and smirked a bit.]
Angel: That's why I'm prepared for drastic measures.
Phoenix: Like what, Miss Dawson?
Angel: Like...if you don't put a restraining order on Apollyon, I'm jumping over to BFF.
[A collective gasp was heard as the fans went silent. Jayson glared a hole through Angel as he spoke in a somewhat monotone voice.]
Phoenix: I can't do that. You two work together in the ring and if you had a restraining order on him, your entire history with him would be just that. History.
Angel: Jayson, I don't give a s**t, okay? He's been stalking me for months and I want him away for good. Now you either put a restraining order on him or I walk out!
[Jayson looked at Angel for a second before picking up a pen and writing on a blank piece of paper in front of him.]
Phoenix: Well, Angel, I'm going to miss you around here. My decision is final. It seems like this is the last time Angel Dawson will be seen on XwC programming.
[Angel stood there, as shocked as her fans watching were. She thought she had a plan that wouldn't fail. Jayson wouldn't dare let her leave for BFF that easily.]
Angel: I guess so...umm, are you sure Mr. Pheonix?
Phoenix: I'm not going to stop you. Just make sure you don't leave anything behind when you leave.
[Jayson's eyes never left the paper on his desk as he spoke to her. The Prime Time Bitch turned towards the door and slowly walked towards it. This was her last night in XwC.]
Angel: Mr. Pheonix?
[Angel said, turning to face him.]
Phoenix: Yes, Angel?
[He still didn't lift his eyes.]
Angel: Thank you.
[Jayson lifted his eyes and looked into Angel's tear-filled eyes.]
Phoenix: I always was a fan of yours, Dawson. You've got talent. Now get out of here before you get tears on the carpeting."
[Jayson smirked a little bit as a single tear fell from Angel's eye. She smiled and nodded lightly, a show of respect towards her now former boss. Angel made her way out of his office and closed the door on her way out, also shutting the door on her XwC run. And what a run it was. First ever 2-time Extreme champion in the new XwC. Longest Extreme title reign in the new XwC. Her alliance with Teemu and Brent. Her memorable feud with Apollyon. All of these things were now in the past. Angel sniffled a bit and made her way down the hall, turning a corner and disappearing from sight. A light chant started in the crowd, slowly growing in volume.]
Crowd: An-gel! An-gel! An-gel! An-gel!"
[The chant slowly died down as the show moved on. And just as the show moves on, so does Angel. She moves on to a new federation. A chance to start over. She moves on to BFF. But no matter how good BFF will be, XwC is where it started. XwC is and always will be...home.]
Rez: Hey Bob, we got a loser coming out next.
Bob: Jeff Gaudet is no loser.
Rez: I was talking about Joe Max.
Bob: Joe Max is a former World Champion here. He's no loser!
Rez: Yeah, former is the key word there.
[Suddenly, the fans go wild as "The Big O Theme" begins to play. Big O emerges on the stage, and is followed by Miss Demanor. They both walk calmly down the ramp, and Joe Max leaps up onto the ring apron, and quickly steps through the ropes. Joe takes a turnbuckle, and poses for the crowd.]
Bob: Dosen't matter if he has the belt or not, he's still a fan favorate.
Rez: I'll say it again. Fans are retards.
[Joe's music cuts off, and Jeff Gaudets music begins to play, and Jeff comes out onto the stage. Jeff walks slowly down to the ring with the new United-Elite Championship slung over his shoulder. Gaudet walks down, and grabs the top rope, pulling himself to the ring apron. Gaudet steps over the top rope, and hands the ref his title belt. Joe hops down, and comes face to face with Gaudet. Joe and Gaudet stare each other down.]
Bob: This should be good, Jeff Gaudet is on a roll here, and it would do wonders if he can beat Joe Max. If Joe Max can beat Gaudet, he can regain some of his momentum.
Rez: Yeah, and if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump his ass when it hopped.
Bob: How colorful.
[The ref calls for the bell, and Jeff goes for a right hand, but Joe Max blocks it, and throws one of his own.Joe Max goes to throw another, but Jeff blocks it, and throws a right of his own. Jeff burst out, and locks both of his hands around Joe Max's throat, and tosses him into the corner.Gaudet comes into the corner, and drives an elbow into Joe Max's face. Gaudet brings his knee up, and buries it in Joe's gut, doubling him over. Gaudet goes to whip Joe across the ring, but Joe reverses it, and sends Gaudet into the corner. Gaudet bounces back out of the corner, and Joe Max catches him, and lifts him barly to slam him down for a SpineBuster. Joe Max goes for a cover.....1..........2........No! Gaudet kicks out!]
Bob: Joe's on fire!
[Joe pulls Gaudet to his feet, and whips him to the corner. Joe charges in after him, but Gaudet gets his foot up and kicks Joe in the face. Joe reels back to the center of the ring, and Gaudet explodes out of the corner, nailing Joe Max with a clothesline. Gaudet begins kicking Joe Max while he's on the mat, and then pulls Joe to his feet. Gaudet sets Joe Max up for a PowerBomb, and lifts him up, but Joe follows through, and slips down Gaudets back. Joe grabs Gaudets legs, and rolls him down for a sunset flip.......1..........2......No! Gaudet kicks out.]
Rez: Where is this coming from? Joe Max shouldn't have this kind of fire!
Bob: He's still the same old Joe Max he's always been. A great competitor!
Rez: Just 10 pounds lighter!
[Joe Max and Gaudet are both back up, and Gaudet goes for a wild swing, but Joe ducks it and spins Gaudet around. Joe locks in a Full Nelson, and then wraps his leg around Gaudets, and slams him down face first. Joe rolls Gaudet over for a cover......1........2.......Gaudet kicks out with enough force to toss Joe Max against the ropes. Joe Max gets to his feet, as well as Gaudet, and Gaudet nails Joe Max with a boot to the gut. Gaudet sets Joe Max up for a PowerBomb, and drives him to the mat. Gaudet goes for a cover......1.......2......No! Joe Max kicks out!]
Bob: Gaudet is a monster!
Rez: Gaudet is my guy. 20 bucks on Gaudet. Any takers?
Bob: I'll take that bet.
[Joe Max gets up slowly, and Gaudet is right there on top of him. Gaudet sets him up for a Death From Above, but Joe wiggles out of it, and lands behind Gaudet. Joe Max pushes Gaudet face first into the corner, and then pulls him back out. Gaudet holds on, and Joe Max does a somersault back to the center of the ring. Gaudet turns around just in time to get a clothesline, sending him to the floor. Joe Max backs up, and runs at Gaudet, driving his knee into the face of Gaudet. Joe grabs Gaudets legs, and pulls him out of the corner. Joe sets Gaudet up for a Super O Lock, but Gaudet powers out of it before Joe can get it locked in.]
Bob: I'll tell ya, Gaudet has some scary power.
Rez: Your not kidding.
[Joe Max goes and pulls Gaudet up by his hair. Gaudet begins punching Joe in the midsection over and over, looking to gain some momemtum. Joe hits Gaudet with a European Uppercut, sending Gaudet reeling back against the ropes. Gaudet bounces off the ropes, right into a Super O Kick. Gaudet goes down like a sack of potatoes, and Joe Max goes for a cover.........1..........2.........3!]
Bob: Joe Max picks up the win!
Rez: Damn it!
Bob: You owe me 20!
Rez: I'm a little short, can I get back to ya?
Bob: Well, folks. Melissa Dera had a chance to sit down with Rock Startling and ask a few questions earlier today. Lets take you to that interview.
(The Camera opens backstage in a break room. The room is empty except for the occupation of two people sitting on opposite ends of a table. At one end is XwC lead reporter Melissa Dera with some papers in front of her and at the other is "Tha 1 and Only" Rock Startling sitting slouched in his chair and staring at Melissa through half closed eyes in a laid back manner)
Melissa Dera: Thank you for granting me this "tell all" interview Mr. Startling.
Rock Startling: Not a problem, y'know I like to please the ladies.
Melissa Dera: No, I didnt know that. Anyway i'd like to get right to the questions if you dont mind?
Rock Startling: Fire away princess.
Melissa Dera: Well first off I would like to get your on record reaction to what must have been a devestating loss for you at Sin City Showdown against Havok. So how do you feel about being the former Triad Wrestling Legendary Champion?
Rock Startling: Meh, I really dont care. I mean, I hate losing to anybody cause im'a winner but it aint like the runt pinned me or made me give up, he just climbed a ladder. I was the first Legendary champion and Havok as well as anybody else that wins it from here on out will always be living in my shadow. I heard some people say I was mad about losing, im not.
Melissa Dera: Interesting, I notice Rave is not in attendance here tonight. Can you tell me why?
Rock Startling: Rave has a headache and couldnt be here tonight. That's all there is to say about that.
Melissa Dera: I see, well tell her I hope she feels better. Moving on, you recently participated in the removal of Josh Cantrell from "Tha Dynasty" when I saw that I noticed that you hesitated before jumping in. Is there anything to that?
Rock Startling: Actually, there is. When I had first approached Cantrell about Tha Dynasty and mentioned to him that I saw myself in him, I wasnt lying. I struggled growing up around violence and so on, he was doing the same so I felt a spiritual connection with him, I guess thats what you'd call it. From that point up until Sin City Showdown I had been watching him closely to see his progress. As I watched him I noticed something, I saw myself fading within him. Like, for some reason his desire seemed to be slipping and he started losing matches to women. I know we all have our bad days but his were coming too often, what I saw that connected me to the kid spiritually faded away and when my boy, Michael Cade, came back around I had to make a decision. At Sin City I still felt the kid had potential to be like me in the future, but being put on the spot I had to do whats best and that was sticking with my boy Cade and sticking it to Cantrell. It's business...thats all.
Melissa Dera: So you're saying if your friend Michael Cade didnt come back around and you didnt have to make that decision, you would sort of mentor Cantrell to be the next Rock Startling?
Rock Startling: Most likely, the kid has some of that Startling desire within him. He just has to learn to bring it out and not shy away from it. He showed it against Brad Daddy and looked promising, he could again someday...who knows.
Melissa Dera: Ah, going back to Tha Dynasty, I have been wondering if there is a leader in the group. It seems to me sometimes it looks as if somebody is the leader but it changes. So is there a set leader of the group?
Rock Startling: No, we are all a group of friends aiming for a common goal, complete domination. You, as well as others, may find that goal funny but if you look at our brief history so far, have we not been the most dominate group in Triad statistically?
Melissa Dera: You have but there hasnt really been any group to counter you guys, I hear there is one on the way though.
Rock Startling: It doesn't matter chica. Elite championship, Triad Tag Team championship, and Legendary championship have been within Tha Dynasty. For the Triad belts we were and are the first holders of the titles. We also have wins over former and current world champions, you know who, and we are the only ones working as a unit. It's not our fault others cant get along and work as one unit like us.
Melissa Dera: I see. While we're on the subject, I have heard rumors that there is to be a fourth member of Tha Dynasty on his way, are these rumors true?
Rock Startling: Normally I wouldnt comment on the subject but seeing as I did promise you a "tell all" interview, I will. There is infact a fourth member of Tha Dynasty already in place. There are four spots in Tha Dynasty at all times, they are all full as of this moment. So expect a fourth to emerge sometime, wont name him...or her, or give a date but expect it to happen soon.
Melissa Dera: I have had some requests by some anonymous people to ask you something, do you mind?
Rock Startling: Hey, anything goes, ask what you want.
Melissa Dera: First, are there any competitors out there right now who you want to face in order to put another notch on the Startling win column?
Rock Startling: Heh, tough question. I feel like I have done enough in my career that I dont need to seek out somebody to beat in order to better myself in the spotlight or anything like that. As for people I would like to go at it with just for the sake of doing it? Everybody, but for the sake of naming names...Michael Cade is one.
Melissa Dera: Whoa, isnt he your friend?
Rock Startling: A best friend, but thats why i'd like to take him on. A friendly competition sort of thing. Lately he has been rated as even above me in XwC by columnists, it would be something to remember and would be fun. Would also like a shot at Nova again to prove it wasnt luck, Havok for obvious reasons, former PCW owner Ron because the guy was an ass backstage during my few contractual dates wrestled in PCW, Jarvis Reynolds in a battle of Mafia Inc., and of course the painfully obvious one, Chris Rickter.
Melissa Dera: Quite the list of talent for the most part that you have assembled there. One that sticks out the most is of course the Chris Rickter one because of the past two Triad pay per views. Whats with the two of you?
Rock Startling: Chris Rickter is nothing but a big mouth idiot who doesnt understand his nose, despite how big it is, doesnt belong in other peoples business. He took the liberty of cheap shotting me with a bunch of guys and nailing me with his best shot. I got up and finished a match after taking it. In return I laid him out with one of mine, suffice to say he didnt come back to get in my business again that night. He's a paper champion and if he would like to face a person to make him anything more than that, im waiting for him.
Melissa Dera: Why do you say he is a paper champion?
Rock Startling: Who did he beat for that title he has? Chris North? Isnt he some XwC curtain jerking flunkee now or something?
Melissa Dera: He is an XwC employee I dont know about the rest of your comment.
Rock Startling: Yeah well Chris Rickter hasnt beat anybody to make him a true champion because he is too busy playing musical mid card. I saw him run his mouth while I was Legendary champion despite my lack of response and he only did it because he knew I was too busy to go after him. Well a newsflash for Rickter is that Rock Startlings dance card is now clear and he is ready to add some new names. First one going on it is BFF paper champion, Chris Rickter.
Melissa Dera: Is that a challenge to him?
Rock Startling: It's whatever he wants it to be, I dont back down from anybody especially false champions. I laid a beating to one in Taurus, Brad Daddy, and I sure as hell am down for doing it to him.
Melissa Dera: Very interesting, I hope he recieves a copy of this. Speaking of championships though, since you no longer are the Legendary champion people would like to know what title you will be aiming for next? Do you want another shot at the Legendary title or will it be the XwC world title you set your sights on?
Rock Startling: Let me say this publicly so the talks end because I have recieved the same question over and over. I was the first Legendary champion and im satisfied with that, I dont want it anymore. I moved on the second Havok got his short lil arms on the belt and claimed it as his own. I have left my mark on its ranks forever and so my quest with it is over. I would face Havok again but not for the Legendary title. As for the XwC world title, it disgusts me right now so its not my focus.
Melissa Dera: Pardon me, did you just say the XwC world championship title disgusts you?
Rock Startling: Yes I did. I defeat Joe Max Ontario in a four way match and the next week he wins the world title. A lot of people feel I shouldnt have been in that four way match, but I won it, so it proves I did belong. What it also proved is the other three men were not ready for the world title by any means, including Joe Max Ontario. So Joe Max goes one, defends the title once and then losses it. To who? The same guy I defeated a week before, Brad Daddy. The world title to me is a joke right now and I would not want to be the laughing stock to inherit it. When somebody takes that title and brings some credibility to it, then I will think about going after it. Until then I will always feel that way about the world title. To those reporters watching, the ones that say Brad Daddy is on top of XwC because of it, thats the biggest bunch of bullshit I have heard. He is a joke and so are your reports calling him the top guy in XwC.
Melissa Dera: Well this has been very interesting to say the least Mr. Startling. Thank you very much for agreeing to do this and letting loose about everything.
Rock Startling: Not a problem, the Startling Onslaught doesnt back down from anything including the truth.
(Melissa Dera, thinking te cameras are off writes down something on a piece of paper and slides it across the table to Startling who reads it with a smile before nodding his head as the cameras fade out)
[Scene changes to a limo with BFF on the front license plate. The camera walks around to the back door, and, Krozar can be seen with several men standing around the open door.]
Krozar: OK, the last time I sent you guys on this kind of job, you loused it up. Now, I am entrusting you number 17 to take care of this for me and I trust you will not let me down.
Goon #17: Right sir, and my name is Ted.
[Krozar glares at number 17.]
Krozar: Doesn’t matter, now then, THIS time, I expect you guys to take care of kidnapping this person...
[He holds up a picture of Keri Phoniex.]
Krozar: Now I want you to find her and bring her to me. I don’t care who gets involved, THIS will be my bargaining chip for getting the BFF on top of the Triad. No go forth and don’t screw this up this time.
[The goons nod together turn to leave as Krozar leans back in the seat.]
Krozar: I love it when my plans come together...
[As if on cue, one of the Goons slams the door, shutting Krozars hand in the door, as the camera changes back to ringside.]
Bob: Rez Cantrell is already in the ring.
Rez: Good I don’t want to see no entrance from some psycho freak.
Bob: Your just jealous.
Rez: Of Cantrell?
[Tear Away by Drowning Pool begins to play over the public address system as the lights dim out walks ‘The Enforcer’ Stone Devane as cameras throughout the arena begin to flash as the fans forget who their taking pictures of. As Devane begins walking down towards the ring a few fans sitting along the isle way begin to yell and throw things at him. Devane acts as though he’s going to hit one fan but stops just short causing the guy to freak out. Cantrell slides out of the ring before Devane has a chance to get in. Once in the ring Devane walks over to the Referee and says something to him before flipping him the bird.]
Rez: Look at that. Devane is already in the zone.
Bob: I wish that was another time zone.
Rez: What’s the matter Bob you don’t like Devane?
Bob: It’s not just Devane. It’s Tha Dynasty also.
[The Referee motions for the bell to sound starting off the match. Devane walks over to the ropes and motions for Cantrell to get into the ring. The Referee pulls Devane away from the ropes trying to give Cantrell a fair chance to get into the ring.]
Bob: Look at that Devane won’t even let Cantrell get into the ring.
Rez: Josh is the one that slid out like a pussy.
[The Referee gets Devane back long enough for Cantrell to slide into the ring. Except Devane breaks lose and begins kicking Cantrell before he can stand.]
Rez: Kick him in the head Stone.
Bob: Listen at you.
Rez: What? I just want to see someone get hurt. Is that so wrong?
[Devane grabs Josh by the hair and picks him up, tosses him into the ropes, then catches him with a knee in the midsection sending him back down to the canvas. Devane then struts over to the ropes and mocks the crowd.]
Bob: He shouldn’t give Cantrell that much time.
Rez: Josh is a rookie. He wouldn’t know what to do with the time anyway.
[As Devane walks back over to the fallen Cantrell he is met by punches to the midsection. Josh fights his way back to his feet rocking Stone with lefts and rights. Once he’s back on his feet Cantrell delivers a standing dropkick sending Devane to the canvas. Cantrell begins kicking Devane in the stomach causing Stone to grab his midsection.]
Bob: Looks like Devane is getting what’s coming to him now.
Rez: Just wait Bob Devane will come back, he’s Dynasty.
Bob: Oh, like that’s suppose to make a difference?
[Cantrell grabs Devane by the hair and pulls him to his feet. He tosses Stone into the ropes only to be reversed. Devane catches Josh with a huge back body drop. Devane is instantly on him as he begins punching him in the head.]
[1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8...[
[The crowd chants along with each punch. Devane finally gets off Josh and picks him up only to deliver a huge belly to back suplex. Devane then stands and delivers an elbow, then another, and another. Stone then picks Josh up and delivers a DDT. After which he goes for the pin.]
[1... 2... KICKOUT!]
Bob: He’s not gonna pin the rookie that easy.
Rez: Oh please, this kid is easier than Keri Phoenix on prom night.
Bob: That’s the owners daughter your talking about.
Rez: Exactly, surprising she hasn’t pimped herself out tonight.
[Devane looks at the Referee and complains about a slow count. The Referee denies any wrong doing. Devane turns back towards Josh and picks him up only to deliver a classic double arm suplex. Cantrell is riving in pain. Devane places a boot on Josh’s chest trying to gain the pin.]
1... 2... KICKOUT!
Bob: That’s just arrogance Rez.
Rez: Stone is my kind of wrestler.
[Devane cocks a grin before kicking Cantrell. Cantrell catches his foot and pushes Stone backwards giving himself enough time to roll out of the ring. Devane doesn’t give him long to recuperate as he slides out after him. Once on the outside Devane pushes the ring announcer out of his chair and picks it up. Folding it he turns to find Cantrell but is met with a clothesline. Devane drops the chair and he hit’s the guard railing. Cantrell grabs the chair and lifts it up to only have it taken away by the Referee.]
Rez: Look a Referee doing his job.
Bob: You weren’t saying that a few seconds before when Devane had the chair.
Rez: That’s because I don’t care if he uses it.
Bob: Of course not.
[As Cantrell argues with the Referee Devane pushed Josh right into the Ref sending him crashing to the concrete floor. Devane then hits Josh with a clothesline sending him crashing into the steal steps. About this time Michael Cade and his manager Kristina Hart come running down the ramp.]
Bob: What are these two doing out here?
Rez: Bringing some action to this boring show, duh!
[Michael Cade joins in with Devane in beating down Cantrell. They then slide him into the ring where they continue working him over. On the outside Kristina grabs a chair and hit’s the already laid out Referee with it.]
Bob: Now what she doing?
Rez: Making sure he don’t get up, duh!
[Kristina slides into the ring where both men are holding Cantrell. She looks at Cade then at Cantrell. She raises the chair high above her head and brings it down crashing over Cantrell’s skull. A sick and twisted smile comes over her face. Cade and Devane drop Josh and allow him to slump down to the canvas. Cade takes the chair and motions for Devane to pick him back up. Once Devane has Josh standing again Cade takes the chair and with a thunderous thud slams it over Josh’s head once again. This time busting him wide open. Cantrell hit’s the canvas this time in a bloody mess.]
Bob: He killed him! He killed Josh Cantrell!
Rez: Happy days are here again.
Bob: Your just as sick and twisted as them.
[Cade and Kristina slide out of the ring and pull the Referee to his feet. Kristina grabs a glass of water from the time keeper and throws it in his face. Cade then slides him back into the ring where he barely finds Devane arrogantly covering Cantrell with a boot on his chest.]
1... 2... 3...
Ring Announcer: The winner of the match Stone Devane.
[Cade and Kristina slide into the ring and celebrate along side Devane.]
[The scene switches to back stage and Melissa Dera is at the locker room of Apollyon. She knocks on the door and out comes a medic official. The cameras catch a glimpse in the locker room and we see Apollyon yelling in pain, as the door shuts.]
Melissa: Sir. We’d like a word on the condition of Apollyon if you can?
Medic: Well, we’ve been working on him a little in the back, but we are going to have to take him to the hospital right now. He’s in pretty bad condition!
Melissa: Oh my God. The hospital? Well please, can you tell us what’s his preliminary diagnosis.
Medic: They have to run the tests at the hospital for the official words, but right now it doesn’t look god. he has torn tendons in his knee and cartilage too. It could possibly be a ACL tear and the hamstring is severely damaged too. Plus his eyes are in pretty bad shape from the fire extinguisher. Both retina's have been burned and while the right is still a little blurred, he’s still having trouble seeing anything out of his left eye.
Melissa: Oh my gosh. Well thank you very much. Back to you guys.
[he scene switches back to the office of Jayson Phoenix. Jayson is sitting behind his desk, talking on a cell phone, when a faint knock can be heard on the door.]
Phoenix: Yeah, hold on a sec. Come In!
[In steps Tyler Robinson, former FBW ring announcer.]
Tyler: Hello, Mr. Phoenix. Your secretary called me and told me that you wanted to speak to me?
Phoenix: Ah, yes. Tyler. I did. Please, come in and have a seat.
[Tyler walks uncomfortably over to the plush leather chair, and takes a seat. Tyler looks around the room, somewhat nervously, as Jayson gets up and walks around behind him.]
Phoenix: Now, Ty. Can I call you Ty?
Tyler: Actually, I prefer Tyler.
Phoenix: Good, Ty. I wanted you to come here and take a look around. I've watched you on Bloodbath, and you seemed to me like an up and up kinda man. This buisness needs more people like you.
Tyler: Why thank you.
Phoenix: Yeah. I went back through some old AW promo's, and found that you had quite the history with Big Poppa, Sapphire, and Supernova. Is this true?
Tyler: Oh, yes sir Mr Phoenix. Nova and I are great friends.
Phoenix: Good. Thats what I wanted to hear. I'll tell you what. Provided Nova signs with XwC, I'll give you a job here, and I'll pay you more than what you were making at Bloodbath.
Tyler: What happens if Nova goes somewhere else, like the BFF?
Phoenix: I'll be upset, Ty. You probably don't want to see me upset, but lets just say that if I get upset, you'll be living in a van, down by the river. You get me?
Tyler: I think I do, sir.
Phoenix: Good. Glad to hear it Tyler. Now, go find Melissa Dera, and she'll fill you in on whats needed. And, hey, if I like your work, maybe I'll get you back at ringside.
[Tyler stands up, a broad smile across his face.]
Tyler: You mean it?
Phoenix: You bet.
[Tyler grabs Jayson's hand and begins shaking it fiercly.]
Tyler: You have no idea what this means to me, Mr. Phoenix!
Phoenix: Yeah, I do. About 50 K a year. Now, get outta here.
Bob Griffen: We are one match away from the main event tonight! So now, former Triad Legendary champion Rock Startling taking on new comer Travon Jones!
Rez: Why does Rock got to fight this joe shmoe anyway!?
Bob Griffen: Because he’s a wrestlers that’s why.
[Music starts up and out walks Travon Jones.]
Gillian White: Ladies and Gentlemen making his way down to the ring right now, Travon Jones!!
Bob Griffen: This is a new comer to XWC, so let’s see how he fairs.
[The music dies out and then “Catchin Feelins” starts up and out walks Rock Startling to a hoard of boos]
Gillian White: And now making his way to ring side, The One and Only, Rock Startling!!!!!!
Bob Griffen: Now what’s this!? Rock Startling has a microphone!
[Rock’s music dies out and he starts talking!]
Rock: I can’t believe this!! I just got thru headlining the second Triad Pay per view. The second pay per view, in a row!! At the first one I won the Legendary title!! Now at this last one I supposedly lost it!! It don’t matter none. I didn’t give a damn about that title anyways!! But now I’ve got to come out here and fight this no name loser. I tell you what I’m going to do, while commentating during the match too! So let’s get this party started and ring the damn bell!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[The ref calls for the bell and Startling rolls in the ring. Jones wastes no time kicking Rock in the back before he can get up. Rock drops the mic right there on the canvas as Jones gets him to his feet. Jones grabs his arm and whips him across the ring, but no! Rock reverses the throw and Jones goes crashing into the turnbuckle. Rock runs in and nails an elbow to the face of Jones, causing him to fall to the canvas. Rock goes back and picks the mic up.]
Rock: You stupid mo fo!!! That’s what you get for kicking tha one and only while he was down!!
Bob Griffen: OH give me a break!! This is disgraceful!!
Rez: What are you talking about? This is great!
[Rock drops the mic and gets Jones to his feet. He locks him up and then delivers a DDT. Rock picks the mic back up and goes for a cover. He counts with the ref.]
Rock: One!! Two!! Thr. . . . ugh.
Bob Griffen: Jones able to kick out there! [Rock gets to his feet.]
Rock: What?!? You stupid son of a bitch!! When I cover you, you stay down!
[Rock drops the mic and gets Jones up only to hit him down again with a clothesline!! He picks Jones back up again and nails him with a German suplex!! He picks Jones up again and delivers another German suplex! Rock grabs the mic and rolls over Jones for another cover. he counts along again.]
Rock: One!! Two!! Thre. . . ugh! What the?!?
Rez: You know this is really entertaining!! But Jones should really start thinking about staying down!
[Rock gets up.]
Rock: Aight!! Listen up you dumb ass!!! The next time I cover you, you ass better stay down!
[Rock drops the mic and gets to his feet. He gets Jones up and has him set up for a pile driver. He starts spinning, and then falls into a tombstone pile driver!]
Rez: Oh!!! Simply Startling!! Simply Startling!!
[Rock goes and picks up the mic and then covers Jones again, counting once again, with the ref.]
Rock: One!!! Two!!! Three!! That’s right bitch!!
Bob Griffen: I don’t think Travon Jones could have kicked out of that move, even if he wanted to!
[Just then D.jack comes out from back stage as Rock is walking up the ramp. Rock stops, not knowing what he’s doing. D.jack looks down at him and just smiles. He starts to laughing and then nod’s his head in enjoyment!]
Bob Griffen: Now what the hell was that about? First D.jack thanked Josh Cantrell while he was part of the Dynasty a few weeks ago. And now he applauds Rock Startling?!
Rez: It looks to me that The Dynasty might have a guardian angel, or should we say guardian official in XWC.
Bob Griffen: That’s just not right!
[The scene switches back to the parking lot where the BFF limo is still parked. The Goons can be seen dragging behind them a large squirming bag. Krozar, who is now nursing a bandage on his hand.]
Krozar: Did you get it done?
Goon 17: We got it covered boss.
[The trunk opens up, and it takes 3 of the Goons to lift the bag into the trunk as Krozar carefully sits down in the limo, and shuts the door himself.]
Goon 14: Man, this guys heavy.
Goon 17: Well, I guess the dumber you are, the bigger you get.
Bob: I have a feeling that wasn't Keri Phoenix.
Rez: What gives you that idea?
Bob: I have a hard time beliving that they needed 3 people to lift a 19 year old, 105 pound girl.
Rez: Oh man, Krozar is gonna take heads when they get back to the BFF headquarters.
Bob: Anyways, it's that time.
Rez: Yeah, we get to see Michael Cade beat the bejesus out of Brad Daddy.
["Only the Strong" by Flaw begins to play, and Michael Cade steps out onto the stage, and a few seconds later, Stoe Devane comes out after him. Devane and Cade give cocky smiles as they walk down the ramp, and Cade slides into the ring. Devane walks around the ring, and takes a seat at the announcers table.]
Bob: Well, we're being joined at ringside by Stone Devane.
Rez: Welcome Mr. Devane!
Bob: What are you doing down here?
Devane: There's a lot of people in the back rooms that are jelous of me and Cade, so I'm down here to watch his back.
Bob: Why is it that I don't quite belive you?
Rez: Because your an untrusting redneck.
Devane: Yeah, I mean, why would I lie?
Bob: I dunno, wy would you blow up Joe Max Ontario's pool? Why would you partner up with a woman beating loser like Michael Cade?
Devane: Bob, you better watch your mouth.
[Suddenly, "It Ends Tonight" by Toxik Soul begins to play, and Brad Daddy, the XwC World Heavyweight Champion, emerges on the stage to a roaring ovation. Brad slaps hands with the crowd at rampside on his way to the ring, and then he hops up onto the ring apron. Brad hops through the ropes, keeping his eyes on Cade while he takes a turnbuckle and unhooks the XwC World Title belt, holding the belt above his head. Brad turns his attention to Devane, and begins talking trash to him, when suddenly, Cade explodes at him, hitting him in the back. Brad drops to the mat, and the ref calls for the bell. Cade grabs Brad's wrist and goes to whip him across the ring, but Brad reverses it, and sends Cade into the ropes. Brad goes for a clothesline, but Cade ducks it and hits the ropes on the other side. Cade comes at Brad, and jumps up for a drop kick, but Brad catches his legs, and Cades head bounces off the mat. Brad turns slightly, and drops back, slingshotting Cade face first into the turnbuckle.]
Bob: Looks like your boy Cade underestimated OUR World Champion.
Devane: Eh, Brad is nothing but a false champion. Cade will show that tonight.
[Cade stumbles back to the center of the ring where Brad hooks him up for a DDT, but Cade grabs his leg, and rolls him up for a small package. 1.......2......Brad Daddy kicks out. Cade is back up quickly and begins stomping at the back of Brad, and Brad gets his hands up on the center rope. Cade lays into Brads back with a flurry of kicks, and pulls him up by his hair. Cade whips Brad hard into the corner, and then walks over to the opposite turnbuckle. Cade runs full out at Brad, launching himself in the air, and coming down with a Splash on Brad. Cade whips Brad to the opposite corner, and goes for another Splash, but this time, Brad side steps it, and Cade hits the turnbuckle face first. Brad grabs Cade from behind, and drops him quickly with a reverse DDT. Brad goes for a cover.......1...........2........3No! Cade just gets the shoulder up.]
Bob: And thats why he's the Champion!
[Brad gets to his feet, and pulls Cade up. Brad backs Cade into the corner, and whips him to the far corner. Cade hits hard chest first, and bounces back out of the corner. Brad hits the ropes in front of Cade, and hits him with a stiff clothesline, sending him down to the mat. Brad gets up quickly, and leaps up onto the ropes for a Climax(Split Legged Moonsault). Brad holds on for a cover.....1.........2........No! Cade kicks out!]
Bob: Cade is getting taken to the limit by our world champ!
Devane: Make that YOUR world champ. I'm ashamed to have him representing XwC.
[Brad pulls Cade to his feet, but Cade drops down and delivers a low blow, sending Brad down to his knees. Cade backs up into the ropes, and gives Brad a short dropkick to the side of his head. Cade gets to his feet quickly, and grabs Brad by his arms. Cade plants his knee in the back of Brad Daddy, and grabs his arms, yanking back hard on them.]
Rez: Great submission move by Cade!
Devane: Yeah, Michael is very technically sound. Thats why we are the Triad Tag Champs.
[Cade tugs back, putting more tourque on Brads shoulders. Brad screams in pain, and makes it to his knees. Brad tries to turn over, but Cade turns him quickly, and drops him to the mat, driving his face into the mat hard. Cade rolls him over for a cover......1.........2......No! Brad gets his shoulder up. Cade slaps the mat in frustration. Cade pulls Brad to his feet, and whips him into the corner. Cade walks up to Brad, and begins to blatantly choke Brad. The ref begins his count, and gets to 4 and a half before Cade lets go. Cade buries his foot in Brads gut, and again, and again. Cade goes to whip Brad to the oposite corner, but Brad reverses it, and sends Cade flying across the ring. Brad gets to his feet shakily, and walks to Cade in the corner, but Cade puts his arms on the ropes, and mule kicks Brad as he's walking in. Cade quickly grabs Brad by his head, and puts his feet on the ropes for a BullDog, but Brad pushes Cade off in mid air, and Cade lands hard on the outside.]
Rez: Damn it! He can't do that! He could've hurt Cade!
[Brad rolls out of the ring, and goes after Cade. Brad pulls Cade to his feet, and walks him to the announce postion. Brad talks smack to Devane before slamming Cade's head into the table. Brad grabs Cade's head again, and slams Cade down again. Brad grabs a bottle of water sitting on the table, and takes a drink of it, and spits it at Devane.]
Rez: That was uncalled for!
Devane: Why that stupid son of a...
[Devane stands up, and Brad stares him down. Devane distracts him just enough for Cade to get his elbow into Brads gut. Cade slams Brads head into the table, and then whips him into the steel ring post. Brad hits the post, and falls to the mat holding his shoulder. Brad gets to his feet, and Cade leaps up onto the ring apron, and hits Brad with a cross body block, sending them both to the floor. Cade is up first, and pulls Brad to his feet. Cade lifts Brad up, and drops him face first across the guarl rail. Cade rolls Brad into the ring, and Brad gets to his feet slowly. As Cade is rolling into the ring, Brad drops his leg across the back of Cade's neck, sending him face first to the mat.]
Bob: This could be Brad's chance to mount some offense.
Devane: Whatever Brad dishes out, Cade can take it.
[Brad pulls Cade to his feet, and whips him into the ropes. Cade comes back at Brad, and Brad kicks him in the gut. Brad sets him up, and delivers The Sex Drive. Brad rolls Cade over for the cover.]
Devane: Tha hell with this.
[Devane throws his headset off and jumps up on the ring apron while the ref is making the count. The ref stops the count to deal with Devane, and Brad gets up. He walks over to where Devane is standing, and takes a swing, but Devane ducks it, and grabs the head of Brad. Devane drops to the floor, hanging Brad up on the top rope. Brad stumbles back a bit, where Cade is now standing. Cade levels Brad with an Attitude Adjustment (Super Kick). Cade goes for a cover.......1........2.........3!]
Bob: That wasn't fair!
Rez: It's only cheating if the ref sees it! It's Brads fault for taking a swing at Devane!
[Cade begins kicking at Brad while he's down, and soon, Devane gets in on it as well. Devane and Cade pull Brad to his feet, and Devane sets him up for a power bomb, while Cade climbs to the outside. Devane lifts him up, and Cade springboards off of the top rope, nailing Brad with a clothesline while he is on Devanes shoulders, sending him to the mat hard. Suddenly, the crowd erupts as Josh Cantrell rushes down to the ring and slides in. Josh makes a beeline for Cade. Josh gets the upperhand quickly by stompiung on Cade while he's down. Cantrell pulls Cade to his feet, and whips him to the corner. Cade bounces out of the corner, and walks right into one of Josh's Reverse DDT's. Suddenly, Rock Startling emerges on the stage, and bolts down to the ring. He goes after Josh, taking him down with a spear takedown. Startling goes to work on the face and head of Cantrell.]
Bob: Oh, it takes 3 of the Dynasty to keep Cantrell and Brad Daddy down?
[Suddenly, __________ by _________ begins to play, and the lights in the arena dim a big, with strobe lights going off on the stage. The crowd erupts in cheers as Supernova and Teemu McCorde emerge on the stage. Teemu and Nova both nod to each other, then bolt down the ramp, and slide into the ring. Nova goes after Startling and Teemu goes after Devane. Teemu clotheslines Devane, and Nova hits Startling. Cantrell gets to his feet, and attackes Cade again, and Devane and Startling make a hasty retreat out of the ring. Cantrell hits Cade with a clothesline, sending him over the top rope, to the floor below.]
Bob: My god! Does this mean what I think it means?
Rez: Nova in XwC, and Teemu's back home!
[Nova goes to help Brad Daddy to his feet, and Teemu helps up Cantrell. Cantrell pushes Teemu away, and Teemu looks confused as Cantrell just flips over the top rope to the floor, and begins walking up the ramp. As Josh is half way up the ramp, Jayson Phoenix emerges on the stage, with something black in both hands, and begins making his way down the ramp. Phoenix rolls into the ring, and looks at Teemu and Nova. Phoenix tosses one to Teemu, and then one to Nova. Nova and Teemu un-roll the objects, revealing XwC logo t-shirts. Teemu nods to Nova, abd they both don their new shirts, as the crowd goes wild. Teemu and Nova both take a turnbuckle as the ref hands Brad his XwC World Title, and Brad takes another corner, holding the title high.]
Bob: Teemu and Nova, The Brothers Supreme are home!
Rez: This means either good things, or bad things!
[As Nova and Teemu are celebrating on the turnbuckles, President Phoenix walks over and asks for a mic from Gillian White, the ring announcer.]
Rez: What the hell does he have to say?
Bob: Well, he dosen't inturupt the show for something small, I can tell you that.
Phoenix: Now, as you can plainly see, XwC has nabbed Teemu McCorde and FBW Gold Champion Supernova. But, right now, I need to talk to two more people. I need to talk to Big Poppa and Sapphire.
Bob: Whoa!
Rez: Are they even here?
Bob: Where else would they be? I mean, Saph is still the Triad Comissoner!
[Suddenly, Blood of Heros by Megadeath begins to play, and Big Poppa, former owner of First Blood Wrestling, and Sapphire, Triad Comissioner, emerge on the stage to a roaring ovation. Poppa slaps hands with the fans at rampside as they make their way down the ramp, and into the ring. Poppa and Sapphire each take a corner, and pose for the audience for a second, before hopping down and Nova and Teemu show them respect by giving them each a hug, Teemu seems to hug Sapphire a little longer that Poppa. The music dies off, and Phoenix begins to speak again.]
Phoenix: Now, Poppa. The reason I wanted you to come down here, is because we need to talk about the two biggest stars from FBW, and their XwC contracts.
[Poppa just gets a confused look on his face, as usual, and points at Teemu and Nova, saying "You already have the biggest stars."]
Phoenix: No, no, no. I'm not talking about Teemu and Nova, even though they are BOTH huge. No, Poppa, I'm talking about.............YOU and SAPPHIRE!
[The crowd jumps to their feet, screaming and hollering.]
Phoenix: Poppa, I know you weren't comfortable being behind that desk. Your passion is wrestling. This ring is where you belong. Whaddya say, Poppa? You wanna wrestle for XwC?
[The crowd goes wild again as Phoenix hands the mic to Poppa.]
Big Poppa: Well, Jayson, I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past week and a half. I don't regret shutting FBW down. FBW had great talent, exciting shows, and an excellent fan base, but I couldn't stand to sit behind a desk and watch it any longer. My career isn't over, and watching great competitors that I've yet to face in one on one competition made me feel like I was out of place. I've been doing some thinking about where I actually do belong. I know where I belong. I belong in between the ropes of the squared circle. I belong between your ropes Jayson, between the ropes of XwC. BFF is a good federation or else it wouldn't be in Triad, but XwC was there from the beginning. XwC was right there with FBW, and if FBW were to sink, which it did, XwC would be the best place for me to jump ship to.
[Big Poppa hands the mic over to Sapphire as the crowd goes nuts.]
Sapphire: For the past 5 months I have sat and watched every single show and the competitors in every show. Most people would think wow, she's lucky she is the commissioner. But no, I envied every single person that got to walk down that aisle and to that ring each time awaiting their opponent for the night. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time helping and a great time being commissioner, but the thing is that I gave my heart to that ring 5 months back. My heart has always been and remains on that canvas, and in this ring, and there is no other wrestling federation on this planet that I would rather be in then here in the Xtreme Wrestling Coalition.
Rez: Was that a yes?
[Phoenix extends his hand to Poppa, and Poppa shakes it, then Phoenix extends his hand to Sapphire, and Sapphire also accepts.]
Bob: Looks like a deal has been struck!
Rez: XwC is the strongest it's ever been now!
Bob: With the addition of Poppa, Sapphire, Teemu, Nova, Carr and Cyber Trooper, XwC could be unstoppable!
Rez: We ARE unstoppable.
Bob: Folks, we are out of time. Good Night!
