X-WCW Doubleshot goes on the air and the stage pyros light up. The fans are on their feet and are loudly cheering while the camera pans over to different directions of the arena. Finally, the view settles into the announce booth with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “WELCOME TO DOUBLESHOT! This is our final stop before we head to X-WCW’s biggest event called Starrcade Revolution! Hello everyone this is James Russell alongside Randal King. We are live from the old Wreck and Rule Studio 2, the old stomping grounds of the X-WCW!”
RK: “It’s great to be back in the old X-WCW hive, JR! It has been like what? 6 years? That is a long span of time.”
JR: “Tonight, we will have 3 matches that would give us a preview of things to come in Starrcade, and finally the 3rd edition of the Young Zone with Sandy Drake!”
RK: “I can’t wait to see the Young Zone, JR! The six competitors of the Rage in the cage will be the special guests tonight!”
X-WCW TV Championship
Josh Lyeh vs The Young One Sandy Drake(c)
THII: “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SET FOR ONE FALL, WITH A 15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS FOR THE X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!”
“Ghost of You” by My Chemical Romance hits the loudspeakers as Josh Leyh slips through the curtains and onto the stage.
THII: “INTRODUCING FIRST THE CHALLENGER, FROM PARTS UNKNOWN, JOSH LEYH!”
JR: “It’s been a bit since we've seen this guy King. I wonder how the time off treated him.”
RK: “I'm voting for a good ole' case of ring rust there JR.”
The fans begin to boo as he looks out into the crowd. He poses for a moment before starting towards the ring, ignoring the fans as he closes the distance. Climbing inside he moves to the far corner where he ascends the turnbuckle, looking out into the crowd, before dropping down and getting ready for action.
THII: “NOW INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT. HE IS THE X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPION, “THE YOUNG ONE” SANDY DRAKE!!”
RK: “Cocky as ever! I swear sometime I almost like the kid. Then I remember who he is.”
JR: “Oh stop it! The kid’s a great wrestler. To obtain the TV championship at such a young age is amazing.”
RK: “Well we'll see how well your boyfriend does tonight in the ring JR. How about that?”
JR: “You never quit do you?”
RK: “Nope *chuckles*”
”It's Not My Time” by Three Doors Down blasts through the loudspeakers as The Young One burst through the curtain, the title draped over his shoulder. He stops atop the stage and poses for the crowd before heading down the ramp. He slap hands with the fans on the way down, bantering with the fans and talking trash about his opponent. Getting to the ring he gets up on the outside apron and makes his way to the turnbuckles where he raises the title one more time. Dropping down inside the ring he surrenders the title to the ref who raises it for all the fans to see before getting ready for action.
JR: “Well ladies and gentlemen, here we go.”
RK: “Do you think Drake may get ahead of himself JR?”
JR: “Maybe King, but so far he doesn’t seem to be looking ahead and forgetting about his match right now.”
RK: “I guess only time will tell JR. Well that and if he wins.”
The two superstars look at each other from across the ring. Sandy turns and plays to the crowd, getting a round of applause. Turning back to Leyh he is met by a stiff forearm to his face, which is repeated as Leyh moves him back to the corner. Getting him there the ref jumps in. Josh puts his hands in the air as he starts to back off shaking his head that he won’t try anything. As the ref pulls back Leyh quickly jabs a thumb into Sandy’s right eye making him clutch at his face. As the ref starts to yell at Leyh he moves the ref out of the way and goes back to work on Drake. He peppers Drake with lefts and rights before turning to chops across the chest which bring a resounding “WOOOOOO” from the crowd. Leyh then moves to shoot Drake across the ring, but is countered and sent flying himself. Drake turns as he sends Leyh to the opposite corner trying to rub the pain from his eye. As he blinks it back he turns and is instantly sent spinning head over heels from a vicious clothesline from Josh.
JR: “OH! He didn’t even see that one coming King!”
RK: “You never turn your back on an opponent Jr. That’s textbook wrestling school stuff. He should know that.”
JR: “Maybe his head isn’t fully in the game King.”
Drake moves to get back to his feet as Josh rubs his back from the shot to the turnbuckle. Making his way over to Drake, he helps him the rest of the way up before locking him in and lifting him up for a stalling suplex. Josh steps back and forth as he keeps Drake balanced in the air, waiting for the blood to rush to Drakes head. Finally satisfied Josh instead drops straight down, driving Drakes head to the mat, hitting him with a brainbuster. Lifting the limp form of Drake back up he hits first with a reverse DDT before once again lifting him and scoring with a piledriver that leaves Drake motionless on the mat.
RK: “JR, Sandy has to do something to get back in this match. Josh is having his way with him!”
JR: “I’m afraid you’re right King.”
Josh gloats to the crowd as he leans back against the ropes and bounces off, hitting a legdrop across the face of the champ. Drake reels in pain on the mat as Josh stalks around his opponent, breaking him down inch by inch. As Sandy gets back to his feet he is grabbed and thrown towards the ropes. Sandy instinctively grabs the ropes, stopping his momentum and leaving Josh to deliver his dropkick to nothing but air. As Leyh regains his feet Drake rushes at him, hoping to use the same clothesline trick that was used on him in the beginning of the match. Josh instead ducks the clothesline and rushes towards the other ropes bouncing off and shooting back towards Drake who is at the opposite ropes. Seeing Josh coming for him Drake grabs the top rope and drops down at the last second, sending his opponent over the top rope and to the floor.
JR: “There King! He bought himself some time with that move.”
RK: “I hate to say it, but that was smart on his part. Hurts his opponent and gives him a breather. Unfortunately Leyh gets a breather too JR.”
Sandy stands hunched over, his hands on his knees in the middle of the ring. Looking out he notices Leyh beginning to get to his feet. Looking back at the ropes behind him and then back at Leyh, he takes off, bouncing off the far ropes and then rushing towards Leyh, leaping over the top rope and scoring with a flying body press to the outside. Both bodies tumble to the ground as they both feel the impact, just in different degrees. Drake gets to his feet first waiting for his opponent to regain his feet as well. As Josh stands he is met with a clothesline from Drake which sends both men over the barrier and to the floor in front of the fans. Once again making it back to his feet first Drake yanks Josh up and puts him across the barrier, stomach first. Climbing back over the barrier and then to the apron and finally ascending to the top ropes he poses for the crowd before leaping off and hitting a legdrop across the back of Josh’s head driving it both at the barrier and to the ground outside the ring.
JR: “Good God King that has to hurt!”
RK: “JR he just drove Josh’s head into the barrier and the floor! That’s it the match is over! There’s not getting up from that.”
Sandy sits on the floor rubbing his tail bone from the impact. Getting up he gives a cocky smile to the camera before bending back over in pain. Heading over to where Leyd lays motionless, Sandy grabs him up and throws him back into the ring. Climbing to the top rope from the outside Sandy signals for the Fountain of Youth! Looking down he measures Leyh before leaping off and seeing Josh move, leaving Drake to meet with nothing but the mat. As Sandy gets back to his feet Leyh is there to meet him. Clamping him by the throat he throws Drakes arm over his head and shoulder, setting him up for his finisher.
JR: “He’s got him for the Chokeslam from Hell!!”
RK: “He hits this, its over JR. Drake can kiss that title goodbye.”
As Josh starts to lift Sandy, Drake begins sending elbows to the side of the head of Leyh. Finally letting go Josh begins to stagger back, holding the side of his head. As his eyes open he see’s Drake set up and send a foot flying towards his face, hoping to connect with his finisher the A.B.B. Josh moves to the side, narrowly avoiding the shot and letting it soar past him and towards the ref. The shot just barely glances the ref who staggers back, but remains on his feet. Seizing the opportunity Josh quickly grabs a steel chair from outside. Drake turns looking for Josh and ducks just in time to avoid the oncoming swing of a steel chair to the skull. Not wasting a moment Drake turns and delivers a A.B.B. right to the steel chair and into the face of Leyh who then crumples to the mat. Kicking the chair out of the ring with his foot Drake gets the ref back to reality before dropping down and covering his downed opponent. 1-2-3!! ”It's Not My Time” plays over the loudspeakers as “The Young One” celebrates his victory.
JR: “What a hard fought and well deserved win King.”
RK: “Did you not see the steel chair?! He cheated! He should be disqualified not praised!”
JR: “Josh did bring the chair in first there King. He only got what he had coming to him.”
RK: “Bah! Let’s see if he pulls the same thing on Magnus. I bet you’d be singing a different tune then JR.”
JR: “Not if Magnus brought the chair in King. Now stop pouting and get over it.”
The scene fades away as Drake makes his way out of the ring, title still in hand as he banters and poses for the fans.
Real American and Joe Goldstone face-off
Doubleshot returns and we go to ringside with Cole Ryan in the middle of the ring. Inside the X-WCW ring, the usual ring mat seems to be covered with a big red carpeting while a table is placed in between the ring with two chairs facing each other.
CR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot! Right now we will have a contract signing for the Lord of the Ring finals match that will determine the next X-WCW Intercontinental champion. About to make his way into the ring, he has been causing unnecessary yet a lot of commotion wherever he goes. He arrived in the X-WCW in November of 2006 and he was not alone, he actually brought in two men who would form with him the stable of Carnage Incorporated. You can call him “Mr. All American”, “Real American”, or even “MILF WURLD CHAMP”, but one thing is for sure he is one of the two men who will be competing at Starrcade in the last man standing match. ROCKY DAVIS!!!”
“Super Beast” by Rob Zombie blares out and Rocky Davis comes out to ringside with The Lost Boys standing behind him. The fans boo loudly at the Carnage Inc. leader who walks down the aisle wearing a nice black tuxedo and a golden cane.
RK: “Wow, is it just me or is Real American pimped out for his contract signing?”
JR: “He looks dressed to kill, King. I believe he wanted to look at his best just days before the big event.”
RK: “To me, I don’t care if he does, cause in the end he’d still get the s*** beaten out of him by Joe Goldstone. Not knocking on the limited talents of Rocky Davis but JR, Goldstone can KILL people!”
The trio makes it from the ramp and it is Rocky Davis who enters the ring first. Mike and Mark Daniels slide into the ring and follow Rocky Davis as he makes his way towards Cole Ryan. CR gets shocked as Davis grabs his hand and shakes it before he faces the crowd and lifts up both of his arms in the air. With this uncharacteristic entrance, the crowd STILL boos the leader of Carnage Incorporated. His music fades and he pulls down his arms before sitting on the chair that is facing the X-WCW stage. The Lost Boys stand behind their leader while Cole Ryan speaks.
CR: “The next man made his debut in 2007 and he actually defeated Rocky Davis in his debut match. After that, he has been on a string of wins inside the X-WCW squared circle. As of today, he is touted as one of the X-WCW’s toughest competitors. The man who will face Rocky Davis in the Last Man Standing Match…JOE GOLDSTONE!!!”
“Down with the sickness” by Disturbed plays and Joe Goldstone comes out to a very mixed crowd reception. Goldstone is just wearing some random t-shirt and jeans while he makes his way down the ramp.
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen, the man making his way into the ring is Joe Goldstone. To those who are strangers to this man, make no mistake, he is a serious competitor inside that ring.”
RK: “So serious, that he can make you give him your lunch money by just looking at you!”
JR: “Just because you got intimidated by him at the coffee table backstage and tossed your bills at him before high tailing him doesn’t make him that type of person.”
RK: “Hey, he can TAKE anything JR, just not my life!”
JR: “I think he just wanted coffee, King.”
Joe Goldstone hops onto the ring apron and stays there while he eyes Rocky Davis. He slowly raises one of his arm into the air before pointing at Rocky Davis. He puts his arm down and enters the ring while his music fades out. Joe Goldstone just nods at CR before he plops down on the empty chair facing his Starrcade opponent.
CR: “So before we get to the signing of the contract here, how about a few words from both competitors?”
Both men just keep silent and just stare at each other with contempt as CR has an uneasy feeling about this. Rocky Davis is the first to break eye contact with his opponent and snatches the mic from Cole Ryan.
RA: “I’ve said it before Joe, I will win this thing and become the new X-WCW Intercontinental Champion. Nothing will change the future where I will win the title and rule the X-WCW with an iron fist! You think you got my number since you defeated other people along the way in this tournament? That’s lame, I dominated my opponents and at Starrcade I will dominate you. I will lay your ass down the mat or anywhere else inside the arena and watch as you can’t get your ass up by the count of 10. So before signing this contract, I suggest you better think of two options right now Joe. First would be signing the contract and guaranteeing yourself a beatdown by the best X-WCW wrestler today..ROCKY DAVIS! The second option is to just stand up, and accept the fact that I am better than you. If you do I might even take it easy on you at Starrcade. So what do you think Joe?”
The fans boo at Rocky Davis while Joe Goldstone does not look so pleased with the words that came out of RA’s mouth. He snatches the mic from Rocky and sneers before he speaks.
JG: “So you wanna come out here and have the balls to say you dominated in your matches? I am not a man with a huge head like you, Rocky but I can proudly say I earned my spot here in the LOTR finals. You, on the other hand, HEH! You just got lucky in the first two rounds of the tournament, because you never faced me.”
JG grins at RA.
JG: “But on Starrcade: Revolution, it WILL be Joe Goldstone who faces you in the finals. And I assure you, it’s not going to be the matter of who is next, its who is left. For me, you’re the only one left in my way of being Intercontinental Champ. So when I see you at Starrcade: Revolution, I will BREAK you from limb to limb. Let’s see how you can dominate me when your joints are all broken like twigs.”
JG hands the mic to CR who looks at both men before announcing.
CR: “Alright, with both men done with their own respective speeches it is time to sign the contract.”
CR gives the pen to Rocky Davis who eyes JG first before signing the contract. He hands the pen and paper to CR. Cole hands it to Joe Goldstone who does the same and signs the contract as well. With the contract signed, both men just stare a hole at each other until CR breaks the uneasy silence.
CR: “ALRIGHT! It’s official, the LOTR finals match will be Joe Goldstone and Rocky Davis in a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!!!”
The fans pop big time for the match stipulations while both men continue to stare each other down. After a while, Rocky Davis gets the mic from Cole Ryan.
RA: “Well Joe, good luck to you on Starrcade: Revolution…you’re gonna need it!”
RA stands up and snaps his fingers for the Lost Boys to approach Joe Goldstone and tip over the table. CR gets out of the ring before anything could happen to him. Joe Goldstone, on the other hand, gets up from his chair and takes out Mike Daniels with a hard spear. He delivers a couple of hard punches to the head of Mike while Mark Daniels and RA stomp down on him. They get him to his feet and whip him across the ropes. On his way back, Joe Goldstone takes down RA and Mark Daniels with dual clotheslines. All three Carnage Inc. members roll out of the ring while Goldstone shouts at them to come back and fight him like a man.
RK: “Goldstone wants some action, JR. I’m just glad Rocky Davis and his crew is smarter than that.”
JR: “It’s a smart choice really, King. They are running away like the scolded dogs that they are after Joe Goldstone gave them a taste of what’s coming at the PPV.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as we see Joe Goldstone watching the three Carnage Inc. members walk their way up the ramp.
R.E Rage vs Tommy Capello
Doubleshot returns and “Clubbed to Death” by Rob Dougan hits the speakers. Tommy Capello makes his way into the ringside area.
THII: “The following contest I scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, he is making his X-WCW debut, From Houston Texas, he weighs in at 240 lbs, TOMMY “Fught King” CAPELLO!!!”
The fans give the newcomer a decent amount of cheers while he strides down the rampway.
JR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot! Right now we got singles action coming up. It’s going to be the newcomer Tommy Capello against R.E. Rage.”
RK: “In other words JR, here comes Rage’s fodder! There isn’t any way he would lose to this smuck.”
JR: “I do not want to discount this man, King. Prior to signing for the X-WCW, he has been training for numerous schools of martial arts such as taekwondo and judo.”
RK: “Let’s make one thing clear. This is professional wrestling, not some martial arts contest. Tommy will be in a lot of trouble trying to find out how he could beat Rage.”
TC slides inside the ring and does some generic pose in the corner. His music gets cut and all of a sudden “Tearing away” by Drowning pool plays into the PA Systems and the mild cheers transition into some monstrous amount of heel heat for the next competitor.
THII: “His opponent, he is one half of the X-WCW Tag Team Champions…R.E. RAGE!!!”
Rage confidently makes his way down the rampway while the fans continue to relentlessly boo him as if he bad mouthed all of their mothers. Yeah, or something like that.
JR: “R.E. Rage, one half of the current tag team champs is making his way to the ring.”
RK: “If one thing, the look on his face tells that he has a lot of confidence.”
JR: “And he should be, he knows his opponent is a newcomer and he might be a bit underestimating him. You would remember the last time he faced a newcomer called Andrew Radon, and he lost!”
RK: “And we would also remember the next 5 encounters of the two where he soundly beat him in each one if not humiliate the poor sap. So if he DOES lose, Tommy’s career would be in a world of hurt rather than just suffering a poor start.”
Rage enters the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, there, he does his usual arms up pose to the crowd who continues to savagely lay waste on the boos. Rage finally climbs down from the corner and his music gets cut.
RK: “So JR, how long till this poor kid will last in the ring with Rage? What’s your bet? One minute or less, that’s what I say.”
JR: “King, the match hasn’t even started and yet you’re already betting?”
RK: “Uhm I think THAT is how you do a bet JR. It would be kinda unfair if I placed my bet DURING the match itself now right? That would be so unethical JR.”
JR: “Oh I give up!”
The bell rings to start off the match and both men make their way towards the center of the ring. Before both men could lock up, Rage backs a few steps away from Tommy Capello and imitates the crane stance from Karate Kid. Rage has a few laughs before TC is quick to take him down with a spinning back kick to the gut. TC hits a couple of fast kicks and punches to the body of Rage before he backs him into the corner. With Rage backed in the ring corner, TC hits two successive kicks to the sides of his opponent before delivering a hard spinning heel kick to his gut. Rage slumps down the corner and TC makes his way towards the center of the ring.
JR: “I told you King, Rage was too cocky to start this match off properly. He should have seen this coming.”
TC runs towards the corner and tries for a missile dropkick, but Rage rolls out of the way. TC gets to his feet and is at the receiving end of a hard boot to the sternum. Rage has him in a front face lock and drags him into the nearby corner. With both of them near the corner, Rage delivers some punishing blows to the back of TC before lifting him up to his shoulders and finishing it off with a bodyslam. TC lies on the mat while R.E Rage stomps him a couple of times. Rage picks up TC by the hair and hits a hard slap across the face of TC. Unfortunately, the slap only angered TC as he delivers some hard punches to the body of Rage. TC is on his feet and takes Rage to the mat with an armlock takedown. He keeps the submission hold on Rage while he is on the mat.
JR: “Tommy Capello has that arm lock on tightly against R.E. Rage.”
Rage slowly gets to his feet and uses his free arm to deliver some elbow strikes into the gut area of TC. TC lets go and Rage bounces off to the ropes. On his way back, however, TC takes him down with an armdrag takedown and again locks in an armlock. Rage scrambles on the mat and somehow reverses the armlock to his favor with both of them on their feet. Rage tries to go behind TC but TC takes him to the mat with a snapmare. TC has Rage in a headlock this time around, but as soon as Rage gets to his feet, he delivers a jawbreaker that sends TC staggering to one side of the ring. Rage charges at TC and takes both of them outside the ring with a clothesline.
RK: “Rage just did a Mick Foley right there, JR!!! What is going on in this world?!”
JR: “I sure as hell don’t know, King.”
Both men get to their feet outside the ring while the referee starts counting on them. R.E. Rage grabs TC, but his opponent delivers a hard cross chop to the chest area to knock him down. Rage clutches his pectoral region while TC pulls him to his vertical base. He rolls Rage back into the ring before he slides in there as well. Rage slowly gets to his feet and TC greets him inside the ring with a hard chop to the chest. The chop was so hard, it echoed throughout the arena. Not to be pushed around, Rage fights back with a chop of his own the lights up TC. TC delivers another hard chop and it sends Rage backing away. TC approaches Rage, only to get a thumb in his eye.
JR: “I knew Rage couldn’t handle a match without resorting to some cheap tactics.”
Rage grabs TC and hits him across the face with a European uppercut. He whips him into the nearby corner and follows through with a clothesline. Rage punishes TC in the corner with some hard shoulder thrusts to the mid-area before he climbs to the second turnbuckle on the same corner. Rage delivers some clubs to the head of TC before hitting the corner rocker dropper.
RK: “That is some vintage R.E. Rage right there, JR!”
R.E. Rage waits for TC to get up before he kicks him square in the gut. He attempts to hook his arms for the finisher, but TC shakes it off and hits a hard elbow upside Rage’s jaw.
RK: “HEY! That’s an illegal blow!”
JR: “I think that is still legal in terms of the rules, King. But that was a sickening hit!”
Tommy Capello draws Rage in and delivers a hard spinning wheel kick square into his opponent’s face. Rage slowly gathers himself to a vertical base and TC is charging. Rage somehow snaps out of it and he captures TC with an inside cradle. The referee goes to count, but he doesn’t see the side where Rage has TC’s tights PULLED UP!
JR: “Inside cradle..1..2…3! RAGE WINS...wait a minute! He had Tommy’s tights pulled up!”
RK: “He what?! No way! Now you’re just being jealous that Rage broke the curse.”
Rage’s music hits and the arena starts to fill in boos while he gets his hand raised.
THII: “The winner of this contest as a result of a pinfall..R.E. RAGE!!!”
RK: “Heh, the crowd is back on their jealous ways for Rage. They know he deserved this win, yet still deny him of the respect he deserves.”
JR: “Respect? King, he CHEATED to win…AGAIN!”
RK: “Sure he did, JR, sure he did.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break with R.E. Rage smirking on his way to the backstage area.
Backstage
R.E. Rage enters the backstage area and Brett Rayne is there to greet him with a handshake. Both men hug and laugh about the previous match before they hear a cough off-screen. They look to their side as the camera zooms out and reveals Sci-Fi Man.
SFM: “Citizen Rage, I spy with my two eyes that you have pulled up your opponent’s tights just to get the victory. Now you are celebrating you’re stolen win with your equally fiendish partner. Please do enlighten me when I ask…WASSUPWIDAT?!”
SFM crosses his arms and glares at RNR. The tag team champions look at each other before they return their gaze towards SFM and smirk.
Rage: “So you want to know what is up with that? Well what else chump but yet another R.E. Rage finish! It doesn’t matter if his tights were pulled up, it wasn’t MY fault that he wore loose tights now was it? Wouldn’t it be indecent to the public to see his butt crack show on national television?”
Rage raises his eyebrow at SFM, who now cups his chin and thinks about what Rage was asking. He quickly glances back at Rage and nods.
SFM: “Citizen Rage, from that perspective, it DOES seem a bit of a good thing for you to do. As a citizen in the X-WCW, one must protect the public from any external obscenities such as…butt cracks. BUT doing another nefarious deed and trying to say it actually brought something good doesn’t make it a good deed. Infact, it is not admitting to your evil deeds that will bring both of you, to your downfalls. That was a dastardly deed you did in the ring, Rage, you knew you were about to lose…and you just had to cheat to win. That isn’t a good thing to do for a citizen.”
Brett Rayne takes a step forward and shoves SFM lightly.
BR: “OH IS THAT SO?! Well boo-freakin-whoo! Do you think we care if it was a cheap victory or not? Rage, do we?”
Rage shakes his head with a smile.
BR: “Damn right we don’t. So why don’t you go scurry back to your little pixie friend AJ and leave us be?”
Brett attempts to shove SFM, but AJ steps into the picture and shoves Brett Rayne back. BR tries to attack, but Rage holds him back. AJ smiles before he speaks.
AJ: “So, buddy, look who we have here…the tag team champs themselves. Nice match, Rage, way to go show your championship caliber by narrowly losing to a newbie. Sadly, me and my buddy here are NOT new to the X-WCW, let alone the tag team division. Come Starrcade: Revolution, you guys should have enjoyed your time holding those belts of yours. Because once the match is over, your title reign comes with it as well.”
AJ walks past RNR, both of which look insulted. Both men now eye on the remaining FF member SFM, who crouches down for ‘take off’…before eventually ‘flying’ out of the screen. RNR look up and scratch their heads.
Rage: “Did he just…”
BR: “…no! Forget it man! It cant be…can it?”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
Tag Team Grudge Match
Seith Helloct and Justin Sane vs Big Dog and Nightmare
THII: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall."
“Bodies” by Drowning Pool hits the speakers and the crowed roars with anticipation.
THII: "Introducing first, coming to the ring from Davison Michigan, weighing in tonight at 145 lbs, JUSTIN SANE."
Sane comes out on the ramp with a skate board when his name is called out. He skates down to the ring and just as he's about to hit the ring, he jumps off the board and soars through the ropes and rolls to his feat inside the ring.
JR: "Well King, this match certainly is going to be INSANE."
RK: "Jeeze JR, how long where you waiting to pull that one out."
JR: "Thought of it during lunch."
The song changes to The Crows by Dark Lotus and the fans reaction becomes decidedly less enthusiastic.
THII: "And his partner, from Pensacola,FL, weighing in tonight at 198 lb, Your one way ticket to hell, SEITH HELLOCT."
JR: "Is it my imagination, or is Seith not quite getting the response that his partner got."
RK: "Your very observant. I think its because Helloct dosn't do anything stupid on his way out to the ring, unlike Sane."
JR: "You might be right, but I wouldn't call it stupid. Theres always something to be said for showmanship."
The song changes to Stupified by Distrubed and this time the fans start booing altogether.
THII: "And there opponents, first from Knoxville Tennessee, weighing in at 220lbs, BIG DOG."
JR: "In recent weeks, Big Dog has had his share of problems with Seith Helloct. One wonders what these two will do in the ring against one another."
RK: "I'll tell you what the'll do, Big Dog will knock the face paint off that wierdo. And Seith will be powerless to stop him."
JR: "I don't think that's very likely."
The lights go dark as Go To Sleep by DMX, Obie Trice and Eminem hit the speakers and the fans boo loudly.
THII: And from Your Living Nightmare, weighing in at 145 lbs, NIGHTMARE.
Nightmare makes his way to the ring showing no emotion, but keeping his eyes on Justin Sane.
RK: "What do you know, they let him out of jail."
JR: "How he still has a job with the company is beyond me. Nightmare almost killed Mike Magnus and turned his anger on Rayne Bloodstone."
RK: "Speaking of which, Rayne isn't following Nightmare Tonight."
JR: "You heard what he said, he dosn't want her interfering in his matches."
All four meet in the ring. As the bell rings, Nightmare jumps Sane and pounds on him relentlessly. The referee has to pull Nightmare off of Justin. This time Justin is on the offensive hitting a running drop kick, followed by a standing flip senton. Nightmare gets back up only to be dropkicked in the face by Sane. Sane picks Nightmare up and punches him repeatedly. This time the ref stops him.
JR: "These two seem hell bent on bashing each others heads in. It's obvious theres still some bad blood between them."
Sane tags Seith into the match, but as Seith gets in the ring, he's met with a vicious kick to the shoulder. Helloct ducks away as he holds his shoulder. the ref checks on him but Seith waves him off. Nightmare goes for another kick but Seith catches it, only to have Nightmare pull him forward with his own leg, jump up and with his free foot, give him a straight kick to the face.
JR: "BAH GAWD, WHAT A SHOT BY NIGHTMARE."
RK: "Man, Nightmare can be deadly with those kicks when he wants to be."
JR: "I'll say, I think he broke Seith's nose."
Seith gets back to his feet looking at the blood in his hand, before closing his fingers punching Nightmare in the head, then repeatedly in the body. Helloct gives Nightmare an Irish whip but when he bounces off the ropes, Big Dog does a blind tag. Seith gives Nightmare a boot to the face then goes to pick Nightmare up, but as he does, Big Dog assaults him from behind. Big Dog grabs him and pulls him up by his hair before slamming him face first into the mat. Seith gets up and walks into a body slam. Seith tries to make a come back with shots to the midsection, Seith then runs to the ropes but on the return gets a Samoa drop from Big Dog.
JR: "Seith isn't able to mount much of a come back."
RK: "I told you Big Dog would pound Seith into mush."
Seith tries to get back to his feet again, only to be pushed back down. Big Dog drags Seith over to Nightmare who tags in and hits Helloct with multiple kicks and punches. Seith goes for a punch but Nightmare catches the punch and locks him in a short arm scissors. Seith manages to grab the rope and Nightmare releases at 4. Nightmare then drags Helloct back to the center of the ring and puts him in an arm lock. Helloct cries out in pain as Nightmare wrenches Seith's arm at the shoulder. Nightmare lets go of the arm and kicks Seith in the shoulder a few times. Helloct drags himself to Justin Sane and Nightmare lets him crawl but pulls Seith away before he can make the tag. Nightmare picks up Seith and gives him an Irish whip. Seith fires back with a flying lariat. Seith makes a move to tag in Sane but Big Dog knocks him off the apron. Nightmare drags Seith over to his corner and tags in Big Dog. Big Dog hits Seith with a body slam then picks him up for another one. But Helloct slips out and hits a reverse DDT. Seith makes his way to Justin Sane and tags him in and the fans go nuts. Sane hits a springboard hurricarana on Big Dog, Big Dog gets back up and is met with a head scissors into a DDT like move.
JR: "Justin Sane is on FIRE tonight."
RK: "No, he's just a lunatic."
JR: "You mean he's just insane."
RK: "You know, your not a funny as you think you are."
Big Dog tries to mount an offence but is having a hard time doing that with Sane launching himself repeatedly at Big Dog. Justin springs off the ropes into a cross body block, but Big Dog catches him and tries for a fall away slam but Sane does a flip and lands on his feet and makes a motion to the crowd, which they eat up. Big Dog heads to the corner but Sane rushes over and does a tiger mask like flip but instead of landing on his feet, he grabs big dog y his head and slams him in an X-Factor like move.
RK: "Wow, I'll give Sane this, that was innovative."
JR: "Leave it to Justin Sane to think on he feet the very few times he is actually ON his feet."
Big Dog makes his way over and tags in Nightmare. Sane and Nightmare trade blows as a loud "Justin Sane" chant breaks out. Sane ducks a kick by Nightmare and lands a few punches to the back of Nightmare. Sane dropkicks Nightmare to the ground and climbs to the top and tries a cross body block but is kicked right in the chest by Nightmare as he comes down. Nightmare gets back up and kicks chest repeatedly but Justin goes back on the offensive with punches and a dropkick sending Nightmare to the ropes. Sane clotheslines Nightmare out of the ring, then launches himself on to Nightmare. The ref starts the ten count but Sane rolls back in by 3. Nightmare on the other hand starts to show some frustration. He rolls back in the ring and slams Justin with a kick to the side of the head. Nightmare goes to the turnbuckle and and removes the top turnbuckle pad. Sane gets up and is put in the tree of woe by Nightmare. Nightmare leaves the ring and stands behind the turnbuckle and wraps the pad string around Justin Sane's neck. The ref counts to 5 but Nightmare refuses to let go so the ref calls for a disqualification. But Nightmare still won't let go as blood starts to spew out of Sane’s mouth.
THII: “The winners as a result of a disqualification, SEITH HELLCOT AND JUSTIN SANE!!!”
JR: "NIGHTMARE'S SNAPPED. HE'S GOING TO KILL JUSTIN SANE."
RK: "We need some help out here. Not even Sane deserves this."
JR: "Well, they won the match, albeit by disqualification. But damn it sure dosn't look like it."
RK: "I'm going out a limb and saying Nightmare could care less that he lost. Look at him, he just wanted to hurt Justin Sane, and I would say mission accomplished."
Seith Helloct comes into the ring with a bat and chases off the deranged Nightmare. Big Dog tries to sneak up on Seith, but Seith is quick to turn around and scare him off as well. Seith gets the microphone and begins to speak.
SH: “It’s a fact that I am SICK and tired of dealing with big mouth such as you Big Dog so here is where we stand..on Starrcade…I challenge you to a match.”
Big Dog, who is on the outside of the ring snatches THII’s mic and responds.
BD: “I’m sick of your gothic ass as well my friend! So how about this, on Starrcade: Revolution, it’s you and me in a TEXAS DEATH MATCH! They say things are bigger in Texas…especially the body bags.”
SH: “That’s how you want it boy? IT’S A DEAL!”
JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! A Texas Deathmatch for Starrcade: Revolution.”
RK: “Now here’s the problem, its in PHILADELPHIA, JR! It aint even being done in Texas and they made it a Texas Death Match.”
X-WCW goes to commercials as the EMTs storm in and help Sane to the backstage area.
We come back from the break as “Voodoo Child” hits the speakers and Mark Malin makes his way down the rampway.
JR: “WELCOME BACK TO DOUBLESHOT! Right now we have ‘Malibu’ Mark Malin making his way down to ringside.”
RK: “As you may know, JR, Mark Malin is going to challenge Sean Byrne at Starrcade: Revolution for the X-WCW United States Championship.”
JR: “I know that, King. He won it in a ladder match and now he has earned that right to get a shot at the US title.”
Malin gets into the ring and poses for the fans a few times before his music is cut and he gets the mic.
MM: “Marlamaniacs, let me tell ya all something…”
The fans give out a slight pop.
MM: “On Starrcade: Revolution, dudes, the man from Malibu will be facing the Boston Rocker Sean Byrne.”
The fans cheer again and being to chant “Byrne” much to Mark’s dismay.
MM: “And to me, that is what bugs me dudes. You see in the past few days I have heard that the United States champion will not be able to compete due to that leg injury he sustained against Tony Bonito last Warzone. So Sean, if you want to, we can just postpone this whole US title match until after the PPV.”
MM pipes down as “Iron Man” hits the PA systems and Sean Byrne hobbles out with the X-WCW US title perched on his shoulder. The fans cheer at the Boston Rocker while he makes his way down towards the ring.
JR: “Here comes the US champ, Sean Byrne. Right now he does not seem to be at a hundred percent of health.”
RK: “How could he, JR, you can see him limp from a MILE.”
Sean Byrne slowly enters the ring and gets a second microphone before he faces Mark Malin and speaks.
SB: “I appreciate that you found out my injury Mark, and so does your proposition to postpone our match.”
Sean pauses for a while as a part of the fans boo.
SB: “However, dude, that is not my style. I don’t want to postpone a match just cause my right ankle is twisted or f***ed up to non-recognition. I am the US champ, and that means it is my job…no…my DUTY to defend this title come Starrcade: Revolution. It doesn’t matter if I am injured or not Mark, I got a duty to fulfill.”
The fans begin to cheer Sean yet again before he looks at the stage.
SB: “You know what, the other reason is, I have to prove something wrong.”
SB faces Mark Malin yet again.
SB: “For the past few months since I won this title, I have been getting a lotta flak for it. Most people backstage keep on telling me that I do not deserve to be the US champion. They say that I am not worthy, I am the second coming of Nathan Green. On Starrcade: Revolution, I will prove them wrong and retain this belt. Nothing personal Mark, but if you think you will win this belt, you are dead wrong.”
SB shakes his head
SB: “On Starrcade: Revolution, I will show you and the rest that Sean Byrne DOES deserve to be called United States Champion. So don’t worry brother, the match will still be on.”
Sean Byrne’s music hits and both men shake hands in the middle of the ring as Doubleshot goes to another commercial break.
6 Man Tag Team Street Fight
Renegade and PowerBomb vs StarStorm and Cane Deathscream
The arena grows quite and restless. That is until the speakers blare with Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” and a three man team emerges from the back.
THII: “The following is a six man tag team match scheduled for one fall under street fight rules. Introducing first, they represent the Revolution: Bombshell, Powermaster Prime, and The Renegade Ron Michaels!”
The three man group receives a divided negative crowd reaction and is booed mercilessly. They enter the ring and pose. PowerBomb climb the ropes and Michaels removes his duster and hands it to the ring attendant. They await their opponents.
N-T-O!
“Deadly Game” plays over the PA and Cane Deathscream appears with StarStorm in tow.
THII: “And their opponents: they represent the nTo: Alec Lightstar, Raven Darkstorm, and Cane Deathscream!”
The three men representing nTo enter the ring to a very mixed reaction. The six men stare down one another as the ref calls for the bell and gets between the two teams.
JR: “It’s going to be Alec Lightstar and Bombshell starting out this match.”
AL and BS lock up.
JR: “Collar and elbow tie up by the two legal men and Lightstar shoves down Bombshell to get the early advantage.”
RK: “The nTo team is looking to end this early here.”
JR: “Lighstar drops the elbow and goes for the first cover of the match. Bombshell kicks out at one. Only time will tell when this match will break down into chaos.”
Lightstar picks up Bombshell and whips him to the ropes. He attempts a splash, but Bombshell rolls out of the way and tags in to PMP.
JR: “Powermaster Prime is now the legal man stats laying in with a flurry of fists to Lightstar.”
PMP clubs AL in the back and then strike with a knee to the gut. AL doubles over and PMP tags in Ron Michaels. Michaels climbs the turnbuckle and meets AL with a drop kick as he gets up.
JR: “Michaels with a cover. 1,2, and Lightstar gets up at two.”
RK: “Lightstar desperately needs to tag out to one of his partners.”
JR: “Most definitely. The Revolution team has cut the ring in half effectively.”
Michaels pulls Lightstar up and goes for a fist. AL grabs it and tries to kick RM. Michaels grabs the foot of AL and quickly greeted by an enziguri. Michaels is sent reeling to his corner where Bombshell tags himself back in. AL makes it his corner and tags in Cane Deathscream. Cane runs in and meets BS with a hard clotheline.
JR: “Bombshell just got his brains rattled with that shot, And the big blue machine gets him with a stiff uppercut right as he gets back up.”
As this happens, PMP comes in and clubs CD in the back. CD turns around and is now enraged. He grabs PMP and chucks him over the top rope. He then follows. The other four men all enter the ring and it has officially broken down.
RK: “You were right, James. It wouldn’t take long for these guys to break down and just start beating the hell out of each other.”
Raven Darkstorm and Ron Michaels lock up in the ring and RD drops Rm with a drop toe hold. AL tosses in a kendo stick and RD levels RM with it as he gets up.
JR: “That was a wicked shot by Raven Darkstorm and he just mounts Rom Michaels to unleash the fists. Shot after shot to the face of Ron Michaels.”
Outside, Cane and PMP exchange punches.
RK: “These two aren’t pretty, but their big punches are really effective.”
The two men continue to exchange until Bombshell jumps off the top turnbuckle and knocks down Cane. AL come over and blindsides Bombshell with a frying pan. RD picks up the scraps and nails PMP into the steel steps with a vicious DDT.
JR: “Randall, this match has just become a car wreck.”
RK: “I don’t think car wreck is strong enough to describe this or the hatred these two teams have for each other.
In the ring, Ron Michaels is stirring. StarStorm both get in the ring and RD grabs RM and knees him in the gut. As he does this, AL climbs to the top turnbuckle. RD grabs RM and puts him in a piledriver position. AL jumps and hits RM.
JR: “Bah Gawd! They just hit the Dark Star. It should be over here. 1,2,3. It’s over.”
THII: “Here are your winners: StarStorm and Cane Deathscream, the nTo!”
The three nTo members stand victorious in the ring. RD motions for a microphone and is handed one. He turns toward PowerBomb, who are tending to RM outside the ring.
RD: “At Starcade, our bitter rivalry comes to a head. A storm is coming and their shall be hell to pay.”
AL: “Quite true my brother. Powerbomb, we challenge you to a First Blood Double Elimination match.”
RD: “With one more stipulation: the losing team must disband forever.”
Powerbomb look at each other and nod in agreement.
BS: “You want a fight, you got it. We accept the match.”
JR: “What a shocker. Losing team must disband at Starrcade.”
RK: “It’s gonna be brutal. None of those four men will be the same when their war is over.”
The two teams stare each other down as the scene fades.
X-WCW Studios
From the commercial break, we go over to X-WCW studios where Cole Ryan is on standby. Behind him, we see the huge screen showing the Starrcade: Revolution logo.
CR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot. I am Cole Ryan coming from the X-WCW studios to remind you all about Starrcade Revolution. The BIGGEST attraction of the X-WCW will come your way next month and it’s live on pay-per-view.”
Triple Threat Match
TRD vs Tommy Capello vs Greg Biafra
CR: “It will be a battle between three men inside one ring. The nTo’s The Real Deal wants to prove he IS the real deal but can he outlast the newcomer Tommy Capello. Or better yet, will Greg Biafra prove to everyone that the straight edge lifestyle does indeed give you the edge?”
Texas Death Match
Seith Helloct vs Big Dog
CR: “It has been a bitter feud between the two men ever since Big Dog made his return to the X-WCW. Earlier tonight both men agreed to the Texas Death Match rules in their PPV faceoff. Who will triumph in this encounter? Can Seith Helloct win or will Big Dog show Seith and the world that he has more bite than his bark?”
X-WCW Tag Team Championship
The Final Frontier vs RNR©
CR: “Two of the X-WCW’s premier tag team will square off in the biggest stage of them all. The prize: the X-WCW Tag Team belts. Will the former multi-time tag team champions of Autobot Jazz and SciFi Man triumph over the might of R.E. Rage and The Playboy? This battle is more than just any regular title match, it’s a battle of contrasting styles, differing philosophies and more.”
X-WCW Xtreme Championship
Justin Sane vs Renegade Ron Michaels ©
CR: “Sane’s name says it all he is JUST INSANE! But does his insanity and manic style of wrestling have the power to stop the ground and pound hybrid style of fighting that Ron Michaels delivers to the ring every night? Not only that but with the Xtreme champion’s new decree of an xtreme rules match, will it be in the champ’s favor due to his familiarity with his own rules or will Sane’s intangibles bring home the gold?”
Losing Team Disbands
StarStorm vs PowerBomb
CR: “Ever since the nTo civil war, these two teams have been on each other’s cases. The feud went dormant a couple of months but that was until Powerbomb turned on Cane and the remaining nTo members and joined the Revolution. Powerbomb has been in the X-WCW since the fed itself was still new in the industry while Starstorm has crated a storm of raving reviews from people around the professional wrestling spectrum as one of the elite tag teams today. It’s the classic young vs old match up with a huge twist: the losers will disband for good.”
X-WCW TV Championship
”The Young One” Sandy Drake(c) vs. Mike Magnus
CR: “Sandy Drake made an open challenge to ANYONE who wanted to face him for the X-WCW Television title at Starrcade: Revolution. Enter: Mike Magnus. Mike Magnus, a relative newcomer to the X-WCW, stepped up to the plate and accepted TYO’s challenge. With Drake successfully retaining the belt tonight, he will go onto the PPV and defend it yet again. But this time it seems like the champion will be having some bigger game competition with Mike Magnus. Is the future now? Or will Sandy Drake stay young and stay the TV champ?”
Women's War Match
Absinthe vs Rayne Bloodstone vs Corva Corax
CR: “Three of the X-WCW’s lovely women will square off in the ring to prove who is the most DOMINANT woman in X-WCW!!!!”
Lord of the Ring-Finals
X-WCW Intercontinental Championship
Last Man Standing Match
Joe Goldstone vs The Real American
CR: “Goldstone and Rocky Davis only agree on thing and that is that they CANNOT stand each other! X-WCW CEO John Crook has thrown out the original 2 out of 3 falls stipulation and replace it with the last man standing match. Who among these two men will outlast the other and be crowned the NEW X-WCW Intercontinental Champion?”
Tag Team Turmoil Match
The Stix Brothers vs The Devil’s Rejects vs The Twisted Hunters vs Fragile Minds vs The Lost Boys
CR: “Five of X-WCW’s tag team go in an all out war. The winner will have a title shot lined up to whoever the tag team champs are after the PPV. It’s five teams, but they all have one goal, to win!”
X-WCW U.S. Championship
Mark Marlin vs Sean Bryne (c)
CR: “Sean Byrne takes on Mark Marlin for the X-WCW U.S.
Championship. Will Marlinmaina run over Byrne or will the US champ succeed and retain the title?”
X-WCW World Championship
Rage in a Cage II
Sinister Six Elimination Match
Andrew Radon vs Ignavus vs Otacon vs Cane Deathscream vs Tony Bonito vs Karl Baller ©
CR: “During Vendetta 2, this steel structure made its debut and also made seven other X-WCW superstars suffer in the process. A match that was once banned by then X-WCW CEO Christopher Back has now been reintroduced to the X-WCW by John Crook. On Starrcade: Revolution, six men with the same goal of winning the X-WCW World Title after the match, will step into one of the most hellacious and torturous structures known to men. Who will win? Better yet….who can walk out on their own two feet after this one is over?”
The cameras focus on CR’s face as he delivers his last lines.
CR: “Starrcade: Revolution is available in Pay-Per-View, do not miss this one of a kind event by the X-WCW!!!”
The Young Zone with Sandy Drake
We go back to the ringside area where the ring is already set up for the next segment: The Young Zone. The ring has been carpeted and six lazy boys placed facing each other in a circle and a single stool in the middle of the circle, and flat screen monitors behind some of the chairs. The cameras pan over to the stage as ”It's Not My Time” by Three Doors Down hits and Sandy Drake enters the ringside area wearing a long sleeved white shirt and black pants. The fans cheer the X-WCW television champ as he makes his way down the ramp.
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW! Right now we have “The Young One” Sandy Drake making his way down the ringside area for his edition of The Young Zone!”
RK: “Wow, for a man who has the TV title and a talk show in the X-WCW, Drake sure knows how to keep himself grounded. But then again, I’m just being sarcastic here. Drake is by far a lucky guy, and he should recognize how incredibly lucky the X-WCW is on NOT pulling the plug on this program.”
JR: “Well the thing is, this is just his third time hosting the show, so it’s not like he does this thing often.”
RK: “And for good reason too, the host ain’t that all great, that’s why it doesn’t happen quite often!”
TYO gets into the ring and grabs the house microphone. The fans cheers are heard as TYO’s music fades into the background and eventually gets cut.
Drake: “WELCOME ONCE AGAIN TO THE YOUNG ZONE!!!”
The crowd pops big while TYO pauses to hear their reaction. He makes his way towards the lone stool and sits down
Drake: “Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, looks like we are here for another addition of The Young One folks... and I know what your saying, "Oh man not another one this thing sucks", well it doesn't matter what you all think, cause I'm here right now and you all gotta watch... Just messing with you guys anyways on to why everyone watches the show, the guests. And tonight I have some very special guests here, some familiar faces, and a whole bunch of new faces.”
Again, the crowd cheers like its 1999! TYO paces around his set and talks over about the first guest.
Drake: “So tonight our guests will be none other then The X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion DA KID Karl Baller, and well everyone else who’s in the main event at Starrcade: Revolution. So with out further adu' I give you... our first guest is a man who started out with one of the worst win loss streaks in professional wrestling, a man that fought through that and went on to win The World Tag Team Titles with another one of my guests here, the went on to have a great singles career with winning the US Heavyweight Title and is the World Heavyweight Champion, a man that last time he was on the show he dissed me and my setup calling my flat screens nothing but cardboard, I give you Karl Baller!!!”
“Hate it or Luv” by 50 cent hits the speakers and Karl Baller comes out to a loud response from the fans. KB is seen wearing the brand new black and silver X-WCW basketball jersey (available now on Xwcwshop.com).
JR: “Here comes Karl Baller, the X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion!”
KB slides into the ring and poses for the fans before he and TYO shake hands. He props down on the chair and waits for the next man to be introduced.
Drake: “Next we have the man that proved to the world that no matter how lazy you are, you can succeed in life and if there is one moment we had to choose to prove this, it would have to be the night were he one The World Heavy Weight Championship, he is the Slacker King Ignavus!”
“Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz plays and Ignavus lazily comes out wearing some jeans and a ‘serial slackaz’ t-shirt. The crowd greets him with a big round of cheers while he continues to make his way down the ramp.
JR: “Joshua Ignavus, one of the X-WCW’s most interesting individuals.”
RK: “And by interesting, he is INTERESTINGLY LAZY!”
Igz gingerly makes his way into the ring and scratches his bum before he grins at both men and props down the lazyboy. Seconds later, a loud snore is heard coming out from his mouth before Drake continues.
Drake: “Also we have the former World Champ Otacon in the house, he seen and done it all folks, and this will be a very different Starrcade for Otacon then the last one as he was in because last time he was in the first match of the night, and this time he will be in the main event. It’s his first time so folks lets be gentle with him here.”
Otacon comes out with his new music blaring over the PA systems and he is seen wearing the “I will make you BLEED” t-shirt as the fans cheer for the conman.
RK: “Otacon is an interesting competitor, JR. Even when he wasn’t a champ, he LOVES blood. I guess this match will feed him into his bloodlusts doesn’t it JR?”
JR: “I think so, King. This type of match, the rage in a cage II match, can be somewhat of an advantage for Otacon.”
Otacon slides into the ring and poses for the fans before he shakes hands with TYO and then sits on an empty chair.
Drake: “Then we have a guy who has been on the show before, although under a different name, he is a former World Tag Team Champion along with Karl Baller, as well as a former TV Champion as well. I give you Andrew Randon.”
“30/30.150” by Stone Sour hits and Andrew Radon comes out with a chorus of boos from the crowd. He is wearing the blue and white “Pain and Suffering” t-shirt (now available on..you know..) as he marches his way down the ramp.
RK: “For a guy that I have verbally blasted on the air, I have to admit JR, he has FOCUS now.”
JR: “I know what you mean, King. Upon his return to the X-WCW, Radon has been a changed man.”
Radon hits the ring and he makes his way towards his own lazy boy. He does not even shake the hand of TYO who had his stretched out. TYO shrugs as AR sits on his chair and has a smug look at KB.
Drake: “We have a man that as tried all his time here in X-WCW, but every time he has come close the World Heavy Weight Championship always seems to slip out of his reach he is one of the most decorated men in wrestling today, he is Tony Bonito.”
“Fury of the storm” hits and Tony Bonito comes out to a loud chorus of boos from the fans. He does not make his usual ring entrance as he just marches down the rampway wearing the NEW Revolution t-shirt (you know where to order don’t you? DON’T YOU?). He finally enters the ring and heads towards the corner to pose for the fans, who now chant “nito sucks”
RK: “Man! Can’t the fans give him the respect he deserves?”
JR: “I don’t know, King. I think he is about getting the RIGHT amount as we speak. Heheheh!”
TYO extends his hand to Bonito, who looks at TYO confused before he grins and shakes hands eventually. He takes a seat on his lazy boy while the camera pans over to TYO yet again.
Drake: “Okay then…… and finally a man who is no stranger to World Championship gold Cane Deathsream.”
“Deadly game” hits and Cane Deathscream comes out to a pop from the fans. He is wearing the classic nTo t-shirt while he makes his way down the ringside area.
JR: “Cane Deathscream, the current leader of the nTo, is the final guest for tonight’s show.”
RK: “The big man is looking very big…pun intended.”
CD enters the ring and both he and Drake shake hands before the final member sits down.
Drake: “Alright gentlemen now that the formalities are over, lets get down to business now I’ll ask the question and until then no one speak lets try to keep it clean guys there are kids watching too. Okay now that everyone knows the rules our first question goes to the Champ Baller. Karl we all know that you were originally going to face Otacon for the World Title at Starrcade one-on-one, and under the strange circumstances that you won the title and are now the champion going into Starrcade how does that make you feel compared to being the challenger going into Starrcade?”
KB: "It's great you asked me something like that. I feel as though I rather would have been da challenger. See, I worked my a*s off to get my one on one opportunity at a 100% healthy world champion at da main event of Starrcade. That was what da X-Rumble was suppose to be. Da way I am going into Starrcade now, I feel like I stole this world title from someone who wasn't healthy at all."
KB looks around before speaking.
KB: “This was not how I was suppose to win this...that is why you don't see me with that World title. At starrcade though, everyone coming into this match will be at 100%, and there will be no excuses. Each of you are coming to take what is mines, and i'll be d****d before I allow that to happen. I am going to come in there, buss each and everyone one of your a***s and walk back out as THE X-WCW world champion! Tony Bonito, Cane Deathscream.......Andrew Radon, even Ignavus and Otacon, you all are going to learn why ain't nobody seeing da kid."
Drake: “Alright and now Otacon, we all know how you felt about Karl pinning you for the World Title a few weeks ago, and how Mr. Cook has been trying to distance you from winning the Title again as much as he can, does that give you a certain extra determination to win back the title?”
Oc: “Without doubt man, i mean i go into every match with only one goal and that's to win by any means necessary......The fact that Crook thinks his boys in any way intimidate or dissuade me from this make me wanna kick the crap outta the people that cross me even more.”
Drake: “Now since John Cook has been running things here during the absence of Chris Back Tony Bonito has been something of a lap dog for him, and not just any lap dog he is the alpha dog for Revolution, so Tony after coming short many times in winning the World Title, do you feel that being Revolution poster boy will give you and extra edge over your opponents come Starrcade?”
TB: “Revolution poster boy? Wow that’s certainly a new one Sandy. Before I answer your questions, I got to clear up a few things here. You’re a bit jumping on conclusions about Tony Bonito saying I’m the lap dog of John Crook. You may be right that I am the alpha dog or the head of the whole group, but I am NOBODY’s lap dog, you got that?”
KB smirks at TB, who in turn glares at the champ before he looks back at Drake.
TB: “I am my own damn man! The reality of it all is John Crook is just our sponsor, the man who bought the name Revolution into the X-WCW for us to use. He deals with the office duties while I dictate to the others what needs to be done in the ring. And now to answer your question, I don’t think being in the Revolution will give me the edge over these 5 other men in Starrcade. I already have one edge over them that counts, my wrestling abilities. It’s well known I have come up short time and time again, but until HOW long will it last? Sandy Drake, you have to see Starrcade and look at the next word…REVOLUTION. At that night, something new is going to happen and it can be my fortunes of coming up short. Maybe at that time, I will finally get the title belt that I have been gunning for since 5 years ago.”
Drake: “Randon, since you have come back to The X-WCW, you have had one thing and one thing only on your mind and that is your former partner Karl Baller, you want to get a certain amount of payback on him, why is that, and would that come in between your shot at winning the World Title?”
AR: “Well, Drake, where do I start? The guy wanted to put our tag team on hold so he could be a singles wrestler, and move up the card. He did so, and when the time came to get some gold, he wasn't giving it his all, and that's why I want to destroy him. As far as Starrcade, when we are in that ring, I plan to beat Baller to within an inch of his life, and take his X-WCW World Heavyweight Title.”
Drake: “Karl now I have to comment on what he said and ask, the last Young Zone show had you and Randon here as our guests, and you were both best friends at the time, other then being the World Champion, why do you feel that Andrew has it in for you?”
KB darts his eyes to his former partners and gives him an insane staredown. After a minute he speaks.
KB: "I don't know at all. Andrew, you were like my ma f***** brother. I loved you like you was family...I treated you like you was family. Deep down inside, I still look at you as my best friend, even though I know you turned on me. We were unstoppable, we only lost two times, both because of outside interference. To this day, I have no idea why that snake has it for me...but I do know that at Starrcade I am going to beat it out of him. I am going to make it my #1 priority to make sure this prick suffers worse than anyone in that cage and that is da truth and nothing less."
Drake: “Ignavus…. Will someone please wake him up for me?”
Baller leans over to Igz’s chair and gives him a whack across the head to wake him up.
Drake: “Thanx K, as I was saying since you lost the World Title you have taken something of a sabbatical, where did you go?”
Igz: I got amnesia and became a captain of a boat. Then I met up with Mick Foley, who had amnesia again too, and we fought a bunch of pirates to save some orphans.
Drake: “Deathscream, our first real X-WCW legend here with us folks, you also took sometime off of the ring, and have come back, after all that happened with you and being betrayed by PowerBomb, do you feel like this is your chance at some revenge against Revolution, and like The Real Deal said a few weeks ago before I faced him in the ring, to bring back some gold and respect to the N.T.O.?”
CD: "The last few years have been a personal Hell for me and what PowerBomb did only adds to the fire to my rage."
Drake: “And Deathscream, I have to bring up something Otacon has said about you recently and I quote “we have Cane Deathscream, dont get me wrong i have respect for the big guy but if anyone ever got a title shot on sentiment alone it's him, the words Past It also come to mind!” how do you feel about the people that say your finished, all washed up, draining away your once great career and leaving nothing but a muddle of muck to end it all. Do you feel like if you haven’t already, there is a time when you gotta say, enough is enough I’ve done enough and now its time to stop?”
CD: "Otacon needs a reality check because I don't recall him ever beating Bonito in a one-on-one match and I seem to remember Ignavus beating him in one minute. My first goal is too make sure Tony Bonito doesn't walk out of Starrcade: Revolution as the X-WCW World Champion and as far "sentiment" goes whose sentiment got me in this match NO ONE. My goal is too inflict as much pain as I can on Tony Bonito. I'm the best shape of my life.”
Drake: “And back to Bonito, Cook has said that he is going to extra lengths to insure that you win at Starrcade, could you elaborate on what kind of plans he has exactly?”
TB: “As the one who heard it myself, I have no idea.”
The fans boo and chant “Bullshit” at TB.
TB: “CMON! IT’S TRUE! He just told me what you saw on TV, that’s it. I don’t know what is on his mind most of the time but if you want some speculation, it might just mean no other idiot would interfere in the match or something. That’s all I can think about if you ask me that question.”
Drake: “The old saying with The World Title its every man for himself out there, so Karl how do you feel about having to face a couple of your friends in possible the most barbaric match in X-WCW?”
KB: “As I said before, they are coming in to take whats mines, and I ain't letting that happen. Don't think because we fight for da same cause, I won't give Otacon a headshot that will send his a*s back to England. Don't think for a fact that I won't give Ignavus a #1 single so hard he will stay awake for 365 days a year no sleep whatsoever. It don't matter friend or foe, I WILL be da last man in that cage."
Drake: “Now Connie,(Otacon) we all know you have a taste to make everyone bleed, do you think that Rage in the Cage will quench that thirst?”
Oc: “In a word, Nah!.....Hell it's probably gonna make me wanna hurt people even more, man it's gonna be fun!!!”
Drake: “Alright Mr. Lazy Boy how lazy are you gonna get in preparation for The Match at Starrcade?”
Igz: “Wait! Crap? I have a match at Starrcade? Crap! I forget to open my mail! crap!”
Drake: “But didn’t you go here for THAT reason? cause you know you have a match at starrcade?...or were you just here for the lazyboy again?”
Igz: “Look, dude... um... I don't even know who you are. I don't even know where I am! I... I thought this was the candy store! You know... the one with all the dancing, topless redhead girls? .....wait, wait, you're saying it doesn't exist? DAMN YOU D-EX, YOU LIED TO ME AGAIN!!!!!”
Igz hops out from his chair and leaves the ring…searching for his fabled candy store by going up the ramp and through the curtains. Back inside the ring, everyone including TYO was left confused and dumbfounded for a moment.
Drake: “Alright…moving on…”
Drake pulls out a couple of cue cards from his pocket and begins to shuffle them. He stops at one and his eyes widen in glee. He looks at the remaining five guests and asks the next question.
Drake: “HELLO DOLLY! This last question sure takes the cake. Well actually guys I’ve been asking this in different variations but the producers want me to ask it once more before we leave. So guys, in your own opinion, do you have what it takes to win in the match on Starrcade? Champ, we will start with you.”
KB: “Yo, I know I do have what it takes to take these guys down. I have a lotta prove in the damn cage rather than just bein champ. First of..”
TB: “Shut the hell up, bitch boy! I don’t care what the hell you wanna say. As a matter of fact, out of all of you here in this ring, the only one I can stand was Ignavus. Sadly, the lazy bum left! Now I’m stranded in this damn ring with a hapless host and 4 other loudmouths who just love to hear themselves talk!”
KB stands up and so does TB, Both men stare down at each other.
KB: “Ayo, you sick about it bald boy? Wanna do something bout it?”
TYO tries to get in their way.
Drake: “Uhm guys, I can see the intensity and as much as everyone appreciates it…my set aint a place to fight. I know this is a wrestling ring and all but c’mon.”
Unexpectedly, Andrew Radon is the one who gets to his feet and also stands in between KB and TB. He helps TYO separate them much more by trying to talk sense into TB. But in an instant, he attempts a superkick right on Karl Baller. KB avoids the superkick, but it is Sandy Drake who unfortunately gets the receiving end of the kick and falls to the outside of the ring. Soon enough, the other two men get to their feet and brawl.
JR: “It’s a five man brawl inside that ring!!! BAH GAWD!”
RK: “The tension was high in that set right from the beginning, JR. To anyone who did NOT expect this one coming would be just blind. BLIND AS A BAT I TELL YOU!”
JR: “Well folks that is all the time we have, for Randal King, this is James Russell signing out!”
X-WCW comes to a close while a horde of referees get into the ring and break up the five man brawl.
JR: “WELCOME TO DOUBLESHOT! This is our final stop before we head to X-WCW’s biggest event called Starrcade Revolution! Hello everyone this is James Russell alongside Randal King. We are live from the old Wreck and Rule Studio 2, the old stomping grounds of the X-WCW!”
RK: “It’s great to be back in the old X-WCW hive, JR! It has been like what? 6 years? That is a long span of time.”
JR: “Tonight, we will have 3 matches that would give us a preview of things to come in Starrcade, and finally the 3rd edition of the Young Zone with Sandy Drake!”
RK: “I can’t wait to see the Young Zone, JR! The six competitors of the Rage in the cage will be the special guests tonight!”
X-WCW TV Championship
Josh Lyeh vs The Young One Sandy Drake(c)
THII: “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SET FOR ONE FALL, WITH A 15 MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS FOR THE X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!”
“Ghost of You” by My Chemical Romance hits the loudspeakers as Josh Leyh slips through the curtains and onto the stage.
THII: “INTRODUCING FIRST THE CHALLENGER, FROM PARTS UNKNOWN, JOSH LEYH!”
JR: “It’s been a bit since we've seen this guy King. I wonder how the time off treated him.”
RK: “I'm voting for a good ole' case of ring rust there JR.”
The fans begin to boo as he looks out into the crowd. He poses for a moment before starting towards the ring, ignoring the fans as he closes the distance. Climbing inside he moves to the far corner where he ascends the turnbuckle, looking out into the crowd, before dropping down and getting ready for action.
THII: “NOW INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT. HE IS THE X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPION, “THE YOUNG ONE” SANDY DRAKE!!”
RK: “Cocky as ever! I swear sometime I almost like the kid. Then I remember who he is.”
JR: “Oh stop it! The kid’s a great wrestler. To obtain the TV championship at such a young age is amazing.”
RK: “Well we'll see how well your boyfriend does tonight in the ring JR. How about that?”
JR: “You never quit do you?”
RK: “Nope *chuckles*”
”It's Not My Time” by Three Doors Down blasts through the loudspeakers as The Young One burst through the curtain, the title draped over his shoulder. He stops atop the stage and poses for the crowd before heading down the ramp. He slap hands with the fans on the way down, bantering with the fans and talking trash about his opponent. Getting to the ring he gets up on the outside apron and makes his way to the turnbuckles where he raises the title one more time. Dropping down inside the ring he surrenders the title to the ref who raises it for all the fans to see before getting ready for action.
JR: “Well ladies and gentlemen, here we go.”
RK: “Do you think Drake may get ahead of himself JR?”
JR: “Maybe King, but so far he doesn’t seem to be looking ahead and forgetting about his match right now.”
RK: “I guess only time will tell JR. Well that and if he wins.”
The two superstars look at each other from across the ring. Sandy turns and plays to the crowd, getting a round of applause. Turning back to Leyh he is met by a stiff forearm to his face, which is repeated as Leyh moves him back to the corner. Getting him there the ref jumps in. Josh puts his hands in the air as he starts to back off shaking his head that he won’t try anything. As the ref pulls back Leyh quickly jabs a thumb into Sandy’s right eye making him clutch at his face. As the ref starts to yell at Leyh he moves the ref out of the way and goes back to work on Drake. He peppers Drake with lefts and rights before turning to chops across the chest which bring a resounding “WOOOOOO” from the crowd. Leyh then moves to shoot Drake across the ring, but is countered and sent flying himself. Drake turns as he sends Leyh to the opposite corner trying to rub the pain from his eye. As he blinks it back he turns and is instantly sent spinning head over heels from a vicious clothesline from Josh.
JR: “OH! He didn’t even see that one coming King!”
RK: “You never turn your back on an opponent Jr. That’s textbook wrestling school stuff. He should know that.”
JR: “Maybe his head isn’t fully in the game King.”
Drake moves to get back to his feet as Josh rubs his back from the shot to the turnbuckle. Making his way over to Drake, he helps him the rest of the way up before locking him in and lifting him up for a stalling suplex. Josh steps back and forth as he keeps Drake balanced in the air, waiting for the blood to rush to Drakes head. Finally satisfied Josh instead drops straight down, driving Drakes head to the mat, hitting him with a brainbuster. Lifting the limp form of Drake back up he hits first with a reverse DDT before once again lifting him and scoring with a piledriver that leaves Drake motionless on the mat.
RK: “JR, Sandy has to do something to get back in this match. Josh is having his way with him!”
JR: “I’m afraid you’re right King.”
Josh gloats to the crowd as he leans back against the ropes and bounces off, hitting a legdrop across the face of the champ. Drake reels in pain on the mat as Josh stalks around his opponent, breaking him down inch by inch. As Sandy gets back to his feet he is grabbed and thrown towards the ropes. Sandy instinctively grabs the ropes, stopping his momentum and leaving Josh to deliver his dropkick to nothing but air. As Leyh regains his feet Drake rushes at him, hoping to use the same clothesline trick that was used on him in the beginning of the match. Josh instead ducks the clothesline and rushes towards the other ropes bouncing off and shooting back towards Drake who is at the opposite ropes. Seeing Josh coming for him Drake grabs the top rope and drops down at the last second, sending his opponent over the top rope and to the floor.
JR: “There King! He bought himself some time with that move.”
RK: “I hate to say it, but that was smart on his part. Hurts his opponent and gives him a breather. Unfortunately Leyh gets a breather too JR.”
Sandy stands hunched over, his hands on his knees in the middle of the ring. Looking out he notices Leyh beginning to get to his feet. Looking back at the ropes behind him and then back at Leyh, he takes off, bouncing off the far ropes and then rushing towards Leyh, leaping over the top rope and scoring with a flying body press to the outside. Both bodies tumble to the ground as they both feel the impact, just in different degrees. Drake gets to his feet first waiting for his opponent to regain his feet as well. As Josh stands he is met with a clothesline from Drake which sends both men over the barrier and to the floor in front of the fans. Once again making it back to his feet first Drake yanks Josh up and puts him across the barrier, stomach first. Climbing back over the barrier and then to the apron and finally ascending to the top ropes he poses for the crowd before leaping off and hitting a legdrop across the back of Josh’s head driving it both at the barrier and to the ground outside the ring.
JR: “Good God King that has to hurt!”
RK: “JR he just drove Josh’s head into the barrier and the floor! That’s it the match is over! There’s not getting up from that.”
Sandy sits on the floor rubbing his tail bone from the impact. Getting up he gives a cocky smile to the camera before bending back over in pain. Heading over to where Leyd lays motionless, Sandy grabs him up and throws him back into the ring. Climbing to the top rope from the outside Sandy signals for the Fountain of Youth! Looking down he measures Leyh before leaping off and seeing Josh move, leaving Drake to meet with nothing but the mat. As Sandy gets back to his feet Leyh is there to meet him. Clamping him by the throat he throws Drakes arm over his head and shoulder, setting him up for his finisher.
JR: “He’s got him for the Chokeslam from Hell!!”
RK: “He hits this, its over JR. Drake can kiss that title goodbye.”
As Josh starts to lift Sandy, Drake begins sending elbows to the side of the head of Leyh. Finally letting go Josh begins to stagger back, holding the side of his head. As his eyes open he see’s Drake set up and send a foot flying towards his face, hoping to connect with his finisher the A.B.B. Josh moves to the side, narrowly avoiding the shot and letting it soar past him and towards the ref. The shot just barely glances the ref who staggers back, but remains on his feet. Seizing the opportunity Josh quickly grabs a steel chair from outside. Drake turns looking for Josh and ducks just in time to avoid the oncoming swing of a steel chair to the skull. Not wasting a moment Drake turns and delivers a A.B.B. right to the steel chair and into the face of Leyh who then crumples to the mat. Kicking the chair out of the ring with his foot Drake gets the ref back to reality before dropping down and covering his downed opponent. 1-2-3!! ”It's Not My Time” plays over the loudspeakers as “The Young One” celebrates his victory.
JR: “What a hard fought and well deserved win King.”
RK: “Did you not see the steel chair?! He cheated! He should be disqualified not praised!”
JR: “Josh did bring the chair in first there King. He only got what he had coming to him.”
RK: “Bah! Let’s see if he pulls the same thing on Magnus. I bet you’d be singing a different tune then JR.”
JR: “Not if Magnus brought the chair in King. Now stop pouting and get over it.”
The scene fades away as Drake makes his way out of the ring, title still in hand as he banters and poses for the fans.
Real American and Joe Goldstone face-off
Doubleshot returns and we go to ringside with Cole Ryan in the middle of the ring. Inside the X-WCW ring, the usual ring mat seems to be covered with a big red carpeting while a table is placed in between the ring with two chairs facing each other.
CR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot! Right now we will have a contract signing for the Lord of the Ring finals match that will determine the next X-WCW Intercontinental champion. About to make his way into the ring, he has been causing unnecessary yet a lot of commotion wherever he goes. He arrived in the X-WCW in November of 2006 and he was not alone, he actually brought in two men who would form with him the stable of Carnage Incorporated. You can call him “Mr. All American”, “Real American”, or even “MILF WURLD CHAMP”, but one thing is for sure he is one of the two men who will be competing at Starrcade in the last man standing match. ROCKY DAVIS!!!”
“Super Beast” by Rob Zombie blares out and Rocky Davis comes out to ringside with The Lost Boys standing behind him. The fans boo loudly at the Carnage Inc. leader who walks down the aisle wearing a nice black tuxedo and a golden cane.
RK: “Wow, is it just me or is Real American pimped out for his contract signing?”
JR: “He looks dressed to kill, King. I believe he wanted to look at his best just days before the big event.”
RK: “To me, I don’t care if he does, cause in the end he’d still get the s*** beaten out of him by Joe Goldstone. Not knocking on the limited talents of Rocky Davis but JR, Goldstone can KILL people!”
The trio makes it from the ramp and it is Rocky Davis who enters the ring first. Mike and Mark Daniels slide into the ring and follow Rocky Davis as he makes his way towards Cole Ryan. CR gets shocked as Davis grabs his hand and shakes it before he faces the crowd and lifts up both of his arms in the air. With this uncharacteristic entrance, the crowd STILL boos the leader of Carnage Incorporated. His music fades and he pulls down his arms before sitting on the chair that is facing the X-WCW stage. The Lost Boys stand behind their leader while Cole Ryan speaks.
CR: “The next man made his debut in 2007 and he actually defeated Rocky Davis in his debut match. After that, he has been on a string of wins inside the X-WCW squared circle. As of today, he is touted as one of the X-WCW’s toughest competitors. The man who will face Rocky Davis in the Last Man Standing Match…JOE GOLDSTONE!!!”
“Down with the sickness” by Disturbed plays and Joe Goldstone comes out to a very mixed crowd reception. Goldstone is just wearing some random t-shirt and jeans while he makes his way down the ramp.
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen, the man making his way into the ring is Joe Goldstone. To those who are strangers to this man, make no mistake, he is a serious competitor inside that ring.”
RK: “So serious, that he can make you give him your lunch money by just looking at you!”
JR: “Just because you got intimidated by him at the coffee table backstage and tossed your bills at him before high tailing him doesn’t make him that type of person.”
RK: “Hey, he can TAKE anything JR, just not my life!”
JR: “I think he just wanted coffee, King.”
Joe Goldstone hops onto the ring apron and stays there while he eyes Rocky Davis. He slowly raises one of his arm into the air before pointing at Rocky Davis. He puts his arm down and enters the ring while his music fades out. Joe Goldstone just nods at CR before he plops down on the empty chair facing his Starrcade opponent.
CR: “So before we get to the signing of the contract here, how about a few words from both competitors?”
Both men just keep silent and just stare at each other with contempt as CR has an uneasy feeling about this. Rocky Davis is the first to break eye contact with his opponent and snatches the mic from Cole Ryan.
RA: “I’ve said it before Joe, I will win this thing and become the new X-WCW Intercontinental Champion. Nothing will change the future where I will win the title and rule the X-WCW with an iron fist! You think you got my number since you defeated other people along the way in this tournament? That’s lame, I dominated my opponents and at Starrcade I will dominate you. I will lay your ass down the mat or anywhere else inside the arena and watch as you can’t get your ass up by the count of 10. So before signing this contract, I suggest you better think of two options right now Joe. First would be signing the contract and guaranteeing yourself a beatdown by the best X-WCW wrestler today..ROCKY DAVIS! The second option is to just stand up, and accept the fact that I am better than you. If you do I might even take it easy on you at Starrcade. So what do you think Joe?”
The fans boo at Rocky Davis while Joe Goldstone does not look so pleased with the words that came out of RA’s mouth. He snatches the mic from Rocky and sneers before he speaks.
JG: “So you wanna come out here and have the balls to say you dominated in your matches? I am not a man with a huge head like you, Rocky but I can proudly say I earned my spot here in the LOTR finals. You, on the other hand, HEH! You just got lucky in the first two rounds of the tournament, because you never faced me.”
JG grins at RA.
JG: “But on Starrcade: Revolution, it WILL be Joe Goldstone who faces you in the finals. And I assure you, it’s not going to be the matter of who is next, its who is left. For me, you’re the only one left in my way of being Intercontinental Champ. So when I see you at Starrcade: Revolution, I will BREAK you from limb to limb. Let’s see how you can dominate me when your joints are all broken like twigs.”
JG hands the mic to CR who looks at both men before announcing.
CR: “Alright, with both men done with their own respective speeches it is time to sign the contract.”
CR gives the pen to Rocky Davis who eyes JG first before signing the contract. He hands the pen and paper to CR. Cole hands it to Joe Goldstone who does the same and signs the contract as well. With the contract signed, both men just stare a hole at each other until CR breaks the uneasy silence.
CR: “ALRIGHT! It’s official, the LOTR finals match will be Joe Goldstone and Rocky Davis in a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!!!”
The fans pop big time for the match stipulations while both men continue to stare each other down. After a while, Rocky Davis gets the mic from Cole Ryan.
RA: “Well Joe, good luck to you on Starrcade: Revolution…you’re gonna need it!”
RA stands up and snaps his fingers for the Lost Boys to approach Joe Goldstone and tip over the table. CR gets out of the ring before anything could happen to him. Joe Goldstone, on the other hand, gets up from his chair and takes out Mike Daniels with a hard spear. He delivers a couple of hard punches to the head of Mike while Mark Daniels and RA stomp down on him. They get him to his feet and whip him across the ropes. On his way back, Joe Goldstone takes down RA and Mark Daniels with dual clotheslines. All three Carnage Inc. members roll out of the ring while Goldstone shouts at them to come back and fight him like a man.
RK: “Goldstone wants some action, JR. I’m just glad Rocky Davis and his crew is smarter than that.”
JR: “It’s a smart choice really, King. They are running away like the scolded dogs that they are after Joe Goldstone gave them a taste of what’s coming at the PPV.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as we see Joe Goldstone watching the three Carnage Inc. members walk their way up the ramp.
R.E Rage vs Tommy Capello
Doubleshot returns and “Clubbed to Death” by Rob Dougan hits the speakers. Tommy Capello makes his way into the ringside area.
THII: “The following contest I scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, he is making his X-WCW debut, From Houston Texas, he weighs in at 240 lbs, TOMMY “Fught King” CAPELLO!!!”
The fans give the newcomer a decent amount of cheers while he strides down the rampway.
JR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot! Right now we got singles action coming up. It’s going to be the newcomer Tommy Capello against R.E. Rage.”
RK: “In other words JR, here comes Rage’s fodder! There isn’t any way he would lose to this smuck.”
JR: “I do not want to discount this man, King. Prior to signing for the X-WCW, he has been training for numerous schools of martial arts such as taekwondo and judo.”
RK: “Let’s make one thing clear. This is professional wrestling, not some martial arts contest. Tommy will be in a lot of trouble trying to find out how he could beat Rage.”
TC slides inside the ring and does some generic pose in the corner. His music gets cut and all of a sudden “Tearing away” by Drowning pool plays into the PA Systems and the mild cheers transition into some monstrous amount of heel heat for the next competitor.
THII: “His opponent, he is one half of the X-WCW Tag Team Champions…R.E. RAGE!!!”
Rage confidently makes his way down the rampway while the fans continue to relentlessly boo him as if he bad mouthed all of their mothers. Yeah, or something like that.
JR: “R.E. Rage, one half of the current tag team champs is making his way to the ring.”
RK: “If one thing, the look on his face tells that he has a lot of confidence.”
JR: “And he should be, he knows his opponent is a newcomer and he might be a bit underestimating him. You would remember the last time he faced a newcomer called Andrew Radon, and he lost!”
RK: “And we would also remember the next 5 encounters of the two where he soundly beat him in each one if not humiliate the poor sap. So if he DOES lose, Tommy’s career would be in a world of hurt rather than just suffering a poor start.”
Rage enters the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, there, he does his usual arms up pose to the crowd who continues to savagely lay waste on the boos. Rage finally climbs down from the corner and his music gets cut.
RK: “So JR, how long till this poor kid will last in the ring with Rage? What’s your bet? One minute or less, that’s what I say.”
JR: “King, the match hasn’t even started and yet you’re already betting?”
RK: “Uhm I think THAT is how you do a bet JR. It would be kinda unfair if I placed my bet DURING the match itself now right? That would be so unethical JR.”
JR: “Oh I give up!”
The bell rings to start off the match and both men make their way towards the center of the ring. Before both men could lock up, Rage backs a few steps away from Tommy Capello and imitates the crane stance from Karate Kid. Rage has a few laughs before TC is quick to take him down with a spinning back kick to the gut. TC hits a couple of fast kicks and punches to the body of Rage before he backs him into the corner. With Rage backed in the ring corner, TC hits two successive kicks to the sides of his opponent before delivering a hard spinning heel kick to his gut. Rage slumps down the corner and TC makes his way towards the center of the ring.
JR: “I told you King, Rage was too cocky to start this match off properly. He should have seen this coming.”
TC runs towards the corner and tries for a missile dropkick, but Rage rolls out of the way. TC gets to his feet and is at the receiving end of a hard boot to the sternum. Rage has him in a front face lock and drags him into the nearby corner. With both of them near the corner, Rage delivers some punishing blows to the back of TC before lifting him up to his shoulders and finishing it off with a bodyslam. TC lies on the mat while R.E Rage stomps him a couple of times. Rage picks up TC by the hair and hits a hard slap across the face of TC. Unfortunately, the slap only angered TC as he delivers some hard punches to the body of Rage. TC is on his feet and takes Rage to the mat with an armlock takedown. He keeps the submission hold on Rage while he is on the mat.
JR: “Tommy Capello has that arm lock on tightly against R.E. Rage.”
Rage slowly gets to his feet and uses his free arm to deliver some elbow strikes into the gut area of TC. TC lets go and Rage bounces off to the ropes. On his way back, however, TC takes him down with an armdrag takedown and again locks in an armlock. Rage scrambles on the mat and somehow reverses the armlock to his favor with both of them on their feet. Rage tries to go behind TC but TC takes him to the mat with a snapmare. TC has Rage in a headlock this time around, but as soon as Rage gets to his feet, he delivers a jawbreaker that sends TC staggering to one side of the ring. Rage charges at TC and takes both of them outside the ring with a clothesline.
RK: “Rage just did a Mick Foley right there, JR!!! What is going on in this world?!”
JR: “I sure as hell don’t know, King.”
Both men get to their feet outside the ring while the referee starts counting on them. R.E. Rage grabs TC, but his opponent delivers a hard cross chop to the chest area to knock him down. Rage clutches his pectoral region while TC pulls him to his vertical base. He rolls Rage back into the ring before he slides in there as well. Rage slowly gets to his feet and TC greets him inside the ring with a hard chop to the chest. The chop was so hard, it echoed throughout the arena. Not to be pushed around, Rage fights back with a chop of his own the lights up TC. TC delivers another hard chop and it sends Rage backing away. TC approaches Rage, only to get a thumb in his eye.
JR: “I knew Rage couldn’t handle a match without resorting to some cheap tactics.”
Rage grabs TC and hits him across the face with a European uppercut. He whips him into the nearby corner and follows through with a clothesline. Rage punishes TC in the corner with some hard shoulder thrusts to the mid-area before he climbs to the second turnbuckle on the same corner. Rage delivers some clubs to the head of TC before hitting the corner rocker dropper.
RK: “That is some vintage R.E. Rage right there, JR!”
R.E. Rage waits for TC to get up before he kicks him square in the gut. He attempts to hook his arms for the finisher, but TC shakes it off and hits a hard elbow upside Rage’s jaw.
RK: “HEY! That’s an illegal blow!”
JR: “I think that is still legal in terms of the rules, King. But that was a sickening hit!”
Tommy Capello draws Rage in and delivers a hard spinning wheel kick square into his opponent’s face. Rage slowly gathers himself to a vertical base and TC is charging. Rage somehow snaps out of it and he captures TC with an inside cradle. The referee goes to count, but he doesn’t see the side where Rage has TC’s tights PULLED UP!
JR: “Inside cradle..1..2…3! RAGE WINS...wait a minute! He had Tommy’s tights pulled up!”
RK: “He what?! No way! Now you’re just being jealous that Rage broke the curse.”
Rage’s music hits and the arena starts to fill in boos while he gets his hand raised.
THII: “The winner of this contest as a result of a pinfall..R.E. RAGE!!!”
RK: “Heh, the crowd is back on their jealous ways for Rage. They know he deserved this win, yet still deny him of the respect he deserves.”
JR: “Respect? King, he CHEATED to win…AGAIN!”
RK: “Sure he did, JR, sure he did.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break with R.E. Rage smirking on his way to the backstage area.
Backstage
R.E. Rage enters the backstage area and Brett Rayne is there to greet him with a handshake. Both men hug and laugh about the previous match before they hear a cough off-screen. They look to their side as the camera zooms out and reveals Sci-Fi Man.
SFM: “Citizen Rage, I spy with my two eyes that you have pulled up your opponent’s tights just to get the victory. Now you are celebrating you’re stolen win with your equally fiendish partner. Please do enlighten me when I ask…WASSUPWIDAT?!”
SFM crosses his arms and glares at RNR. The tag team champions look at each other before they return their gaze towards SFM and smirk.
Rage: “So you want to know what is up with that? Well what else chump but yet another R.E. Rage finish! It doesn’t matter if his tights were pulled up, it wasn’t MY fault that he wore loose tights now was it? Wouldn’t it be indecent to the public to see his butt crack show on national television?”
Rage raises his eyebrow at SFM, who now cups his chin and thinks about what Rage was asking. He quickly glances back at Rage and nods.
SFM: “Citizen Rage, from that perspective, it DOES seem a bit of a good thing for you to do. As a citizen in the X-WCW, one must protect the public from any external obscenities such as…butt cracks. BUT doing another nefarious deed and trying to say it actually brought something good doesn’t make it a good deed. Infact, it is not admitting to your evil deeds that will bring both of you, to your downfalls. That was a dastardly deed you did in the ring, Rage, you knew you were about to lose…and you just had to cheat to win. That isn’t a good thing to do for a citizen.”
Brett Rayne takes a step forward and shoves SFM lightly.
BR: “OH IS THAT SO?! Well boo-freakin-whoo! Do you think we care if it was a cheap victory or not? Rage, do we?”
Rage shakes his head with a smile.
BR: “Damn right we don’t. So why don’t you go scurry back to your little pixie friend AJ and leave us be?”
Brett attempts to shove SFM, but AJ steps into the picture and shoves Brett Rayne back. BR tries to attack, but Rage holds him back. AJ smiles before he speaks.
AJ: “So, buddy, look who we have here…the tag team champs themselves. Nice match, Rage, way to go show your championship caliber by narrowly losing to a newbie. Sadly, me and my buddy here are NOT new to the X-WCW, let alone the tag team division. Come Starrcade: Revolution, you guys should have enjoyed your time holding those belts of yours. Because once the match is over, your title reign comes with it as well.”
AJ walks past RNR, both of which look insulted. Both men now eye on the remaining FF member SFM, who crouches down for ‘take off’…before eventually ‘flying’ out of the screen. RNR look up and scratch their heads.
Rage: “Did he just…”
BR: “…no! Forget it man! It cant be…can it?”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
Tag Team Grudge Match
Seith Helloct and Justin Sane vs Big Dog and Nightmare
THII: "The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall."
“Bodies” by Drowning Pool hits the speakers and the crowed roars with anticipation.
THII: "Introducing first, coming to the ring from Davison Michigan, weighing in tonight at 145 lbs, JUSTIN SANE."
Sane comes out on the ramp with a skate board when his name is called out. He skates down to the ring and just as he's about to hit the ring, he jumps off the board and soars through the ropes and rolls to his feat inside the ring.
JR: "Well King, this match certainly is going to be INSANE."
RK: "Jeeze JR, how long where you waiting to pull that one out."
JR: "Thought of it during lunch."
The song changes to The Crows by Dark Lotus and the fans reaction becomes decidedly less enthusiastic.
THII: "And his partner, from Pensacola,FL, weighing in tonight at 198 lb, Your one way ticket to hell, SEITH HELLOCT."
JR: "Is it my imagination, or is Seith not quite getting the response that his partner got."
RK: "Your very observant. I think its because Helloct dosn't do anything stupid on his way out to the ring, unlike Sane."
JR: "You might be right, but I wouldn't call it stupid. Theres always something to be said for showmanship."
The song changes to Stupified by Distrubed and this time the fans start booing altogether.
THII: "And there opponents, first from Knoxville Tennessee, weighing in at 220lbs, BIG DOG."
JR: "In recent weeks, Big Dog has had his share of problems with Seith Helloct. One wonders what these two will do in the ring against one another."
RK: "I'll tell you what the'll do, Big Dog will knock the face paint off that wierdo. And Seith will be powerless to stop him."
JR: "I don't think that's very likely."
The lights go dark as Go To Sleep by DMX, Obie Trice and Eminem hit the speakers and the fans boo loudly.
THII: And from Your Living Nightmare, weighing in at 145 lbs, NIGHTMARE.
Nightmare makes his way to the ring showing no emotion, but keeping his eyes on Justin Sane.
RK: "What do you know, they let him out of jail."
JR: "How he still has a job with the company is beyond me. Nightmare almost killed Mike Magnus and turned his anger on Rayne Bloodstone."
RK: "Speaking of which, Rayne isn't following Nightmare Tonight."
JR: "You heard what he said, he dosn't want her interfering in his matches."
All four meet in the ring. As the bell rings, Nightmare jumps Sane and pounds on him relentlessly. The referee has to pull Nightmare off of Justin. This time Justin is on the offensive hitting a running drop kick, followed by a standing flip senton. Nightmare gets back up only to be dropkicked in the face by Sane. Sane picks Nightmare up and punches him repeatedly. This time the ref stops him.
JR: "These two seem hell bent on bashing each others heads in. It's obvious theres still some bad blood between them."
Sane tags Seith into the match, but as Seith gets in the ring, he's met with a vicious kick to the shoulder. Helloct ducks away as he holds his shoulder. the ref checks on him but Seith waves him off. Nightmare goes for another kick but Seith catches it, only to have Nightmare pull him forward with his own leg, jump up and with his free foot, give him a straight kick to the face.
JR: "BAH GAWD, WHAT A SHOT BY NIGHTMARE."
RK: "Man, Nightmare can be deadly with those kicks when he wants to be."
JR: "I'll say, I think he broke Seith's nose."
Seith gets back to his feet looking at the blood in his hand, before closing his fingers punching Nightmare in the head, then repeatedly in the body. Helloct gives Nightmare an Irish whip but when he bounces off the ropes, Big Dog does a blind tag. Seith gives Nightmare a boot to the face then goes to pick Nightmare up, but as he does, Big Dog assaults him from behind. Big Dog grabs him and pulls him up by his hair before slamming him face first into the mat. Seith gets up and walks into a body slam. Seith tries to make a come back with shots to the midsection, Seith then runs to the ropes but on the return gets a Samoa drop from Big Dog.
JR: "Seith isn't able to mount much of a come back."
RK: "I told you Big Dog would pound Seith into mush."
Seith tries to get back to his feet again, only to be pushed back down. Big Dog drags Seith over to Nightmare who tags in and hits Helloct with multiple kicks and punches. Seith goes for a punch but Nightmare catches the punch and locks him in a short arm scissors. Seith manages to grab the rope and Nightmare releases at 4. Nightmare then drags Helloct back to the center of the ring and puts him in an arm lock. Helloct cries out in pain as Nightmare wrenches Seith's arm at the shoulder. Nightmare lets go of the arm and kicks Seith in the shoulder a few times. Helloct drags himself to Justin Sane and Nightmare lets him crawl but pulls Seith away before he can make the tag. Nightmare picks up Seith and gives him an Irish whip. Seith fires back with a flying lariat. Seith makes a move to tag in Sane but Big Dog knocks him off the apron. Nightmare drags Seith over to his corner and tags in Big Dog. Big Dog hits Seith with a body slam then picks him up for another one. But Helloct slips out and hits a reverse DDT. Seith makes his way to Justin Sane and tags him in and the fans go nuts. Sane hits a springboard hurricarana on Big Dog, Big Dog gets back up and is met with a head scissors into a DDT like move.
JR: "Justin Sane is on FIRE tonight."
RK: "No, he's just a lunatic."
JR: "You mean he's just insane."
RK: "You know, your not a funny as you think you are."
Big Dog tries to mount an offence but is having a hard time doing that with Sane launching himself repeatedly at Big Dog. Justin springs off the ropes into a cross body block, but Big Dog catches him and tries for a fall away slam but Sane does a flip and lands on his feet and makes a motion to the crowd, which they eat up. Big Dog heads to the corner but Sane rushes over and does a tiger mask like flip but instead of landing on his feet, he grabs big dog y his head and slams him in an X-Factor like move.
RK: "Wow, I'll give Sane this, that was innovative."
JR: "Leave it to Justin Sane to think on he feet the very few times he is actually ON his feet."
Big Dog makes his way over and tags in Nightmare. Sane and Nightmare trade blows as a loud "Justin Sane" chant breaks out. Sane ducks a kick by Nightmare and lands a few punches to the back of Nightmare. Sane dropkicks Nightmare to the ground and climbs to the top and tries a cross body block but is kicked right in the chest by Nightmare as he comes down. Nightmare gets back up and kicks chest repeatedly but Justin goes back on the offensive with punches and a dropkick sending Nightmare to the ropes. Sane clotheslines Nightmare out of the ring, then launches himself on to Nightmare. The ref starts the ten count but Sane rolls back in by 3. Nightmare on the other hand starts to show some frustration. He rolls back in the ring and slams Justin with a kick to the side of the head. Nightmare goes to the turnbuckle and and removes the top turnbuckle pad. Sane gets up and is put in the tree of woe by Nightmare. Nightmare leaves the ring and stands behind the turnbuckle and wraps the pad string around Justin Sane's neck. The ref counts to 5 but Nightmare refuses to let go so the ref calls for a disqualification. But Nightmare still won't let go as blood starts to spew out of Sane’s mouth.
THII: “The winners as a result of a disqualification, SEITH HELLCOT AND JUSTIN SANE!!!”
JR: "NIGHTMARE'S SNAPPED. HE'S GOING TO KILL JUSTIN SANE."
RK: "We need some help out here. Not even Sane deserves this."
JR: "Well, they won the match, albeit by disqualification. But damn it sure dosn't look like it."
RK: "I'm going out a limb and saying Nightmare could care less that he lost. Look at him, he just wanted to hurt Justin Sane, and I would say mission accomplished."
Seith Helloct comes into the ring with a bat and chases off the deranged Nightmare. Big Dog tries to sneak up on Seith, but Seith is quick to turn around and scare him off as well. Seith gets the microphone and begins to speak.
SH: “It’s a fact that I am SICK and tired of dealing with big mouth such as you Big Dog so here is where we stand..on Starrcade…I challenge you to a match.”
Big Dog, who is on the outside of the ring snatches THII’s mic and responds.
BD: “I’m sick of your gothic ass as well my friend! So how about this, on Starrcade: Revolution, it’s you and me in a TEXAS DEATH MATCH! They say things are bigger in Texas…especially the body bags.”
SH: “That’s how you want it boy? IT’S A DEAL!”
JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! A Texas Deathmatch for Starrcade: Revolution.”
RK: “Now here’s the problem, its in PHILADELPHIA, JR! It aint even being done in Texas and they made it a Texas Death Match.”
X-WCW goes to commercials as the EMTs storm in and help Sane to the backstage area.
We come back from the break as “Voodoo Child” hits the speakers and Mark Malin makes his way down the rampway.
JR: “WELCOME BACK TO DOUBLESHOT! Right now we have ‘Malibu’ Mark Malin making his way down to ringside.”
RK: “As you may know, JR, Mark Malin is going to challenge Sean Byrne at Starrcade: Revolution for the X-WCW United States Championship.”
JR: “I know that, King. He won it in a ladder match and now he has earned that right to get a shot at the US title.”
Malin gets into the ring and poses for the fans a few times before his music is cut and he gets the mic.
MM: “Marlamaniacs, let me tell ya all something…”
The fans give out a slight pop.
MM: “On Starrcade: Revolution, dudes, the man from Malibu will be facing the Boston Rocker Sean Byrne.”
The fans cheer again and being to chant “Byrne” much to Mark’s dismay.
MM: “And to me, that is what bugs me dudes. You see in the past few days I have heard that the United States champion will not be able to compete due to that leg injury he sustained against Tony Bonito last Warzone. So Sean, if you want to, we can just postpone this whole US title match until after the PPV.”
MM pipes down as “Iron Man” hits the PA systems and Sean Byrne hobbles out with the X-WCW US title perched on his shoulder. The fans cheer at the Boston Rocker while he makes his way down towards the ring.
JR: “Here comes the US champ, Sean Byrne. Right now he does not seem to be at a hundred percent of health.”
RK: “How could he, JR, you can see him limp from a MILE.”
Sean Byrne slowly enters the ring and gets a second microphone before he faces Mark Malin and speaks.
SB: “I appreciate that you found out my injury Mark, and so does your proposition to postpone our match.”
Sean pauses for a while as a part of the fans boo.
SB: “However, dude, that is not my style. I don’t want to postpone a match just cause my right ankle is twisted or f***ed up to non-recognition. I am the US champ, and that means it is my job…no…my DUTY to defend this title come Starrcade: Revolution. It doesn’t matter if I am injured or not Mark, I got a duty to fulfill.”
The fans begin to cheer Sean yet again before he looks at the stage.
SB: “You know what, the other reason is, I have to prove something wrong.”
SB faces Mark Malin yet again.
SB: “For the past few months since I won this title, I have been getting a lotta flak for it. Most people backstage keep on telling me that I do not deserve to be the US champion. They say that I am not worthy, I am the second coming of Nathan Green. On Starrcade: Revolution, I will prove them wrong and retain this belt. Nothing personal Mark, but if you think you will win this belt, you are dead wrong.”
SB shakes his head
SB: “On Starrcade: Revolution, I will show you and the rest that Sean Byrne DOES deserve to be called United States Champion. So don’t worry brother, the match will still be on.”
Sean Byrne’s music hits and both men shake hands in the middle of the ring as Doubleshot goes to another commercial break.
6 Man Tag Team Street Fight
Renegade and PowerBomb vs StarStorm and Cane Deathscream
The arena grows quite and restless. That is until the speakers blare with Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” and a three man team emerges from the back.
THII: “The following is a six man tag team match scheduled for one fall under street fight rules. Introducing first, they represent the Revolution: Bombshell, Powermaster Prime, and The Renegade Ron Michaels!”
The three man group receives a divided negative crowd reaction and is booed mercilessly. They enter the ring and pose. PowerBomb climb the ropes and Michaels removes his duster and hands it to the ring attendant. They await their opponents.
N-T-O!
“Deadly Game” plays over the PA and Cane Deathscream appears with StarStorm in tow.
THII: “And their opponents: they represent the nTo: Alec Lightstar, Raven Darkstorm, and Cane Deathscream!”
The three men representing nTo enter the ring to a very mixed reaction. The six men stare down one another as the ref calls for the bell and gets between the two teams.
JR: “It’s going to be Alec Lightstar and Bombshell starting out this match.”
AL and BS lock up.
JR: “Collar and elbow tie up by the two legal men and Lightstar shoves down Bombshell to get the early advantage.”
RK: “The nTo team is looking to end this early here.”
JR: “Lighstar drops the elbow and goes for the first cover of the match. Bombshell kicks out at one. Only time will tell when this match will break down into chaos.”
Lightstar picks up Bombshell and whips him to the ropes. He attempts a splash, but Bombshell rolls out of the way and tags in to PMP.
JR: “Powermaster Prime is now the legal man stats laying in with a flurry of fists to Lightstar.”
PMP clubs AL in the back and then strike with a knee to the gut. AL doubles over and PMP tags in Ron Michaels. Michaels climbs the turnbuckle and meets AL with a drop kick as he gets up.
JR: “Michaels with a cover. 1,2, and Lightstar gets up at two.”
RK: “Lightstar desperately needs to tag out to one of his partners.”
JR: “Most definitely. The Revolution team has cut the ring in half effectively.”
Michaels pulls Lightstar up and goes for a fist. AL grabs it and tries to kick RM. Michaels grabs the foot of AL and quickly greeted by an enziguri. Michaels is sent reeling to his corner where Bombshell tags himself back in. AL makes it his corner and tags in Cane Deathscream. Cane runs in and meets BS with a hard clotheline.
JR: “Bombshell just got his brains rattled with that shot, And the big blue machine gets him with a stiff uppercut right as he gets back up.”
As this happens, PMP comes in and clubs CD in the back. CD turns around and is now enraged. He grabs PMP and chucks him over the top rope. He then follows. The other four men all enter the ring and it has officially broken down.
RK: “You were right, James. It wouldn’t take long for these guys to break down and just start beating the hell out of each other.”
Raven Darkstorm and Ron Michaels lock up in the ring and RD drops Rm with a drop toe hold. AL tosses in a kendo stick and RD levels RM with it as he gets up.
JR: “That was a wicked shot by Raven Darkstorm and he just mounts Rom Michaels to unleash the fists. Shot after shot to the face of Ron Michaels.”
Outside, Cane and PMP exchange punches.
RK: “These two aren’t pretty, but their big punches are really effective.”
The two men continue to exchange until Bombshell jumps off the top turnbuckle and knocks down Cane. AL come over and blindsides Bombshell with a frying pan. RD picks up the scraps and nails PMP into the steel steps with a vicious DDT.
JR: “Randall, this match has just become a car wreck.”
RK: “I don’t think car wreck is strong enough to describe this or the hatred these two teams have for each other.
In the ring, Ron Michaels is stirring. StarStorm both get in the ring and RD grabs RM and knees him in the gut. As he does this, AL climbs to the top turnbuckle. RD grabs RM and puts him in a piledriver position. AL jumps and hits RM.
JR: “Bah Gawd! They just hit the Dark Star. It should be over here. 1,2,3. It’s over.”
THII: “Here are your winners: StarStorm and Cane Deathscream, the nTo!”
The three nTo members stand victorious in the ring. RD motions for a microphone and is handed one. He turns toward PowerBomb, who are tending to RM outside the ring.
RD: “At Starcade, our bitter rivalry comes to a head. A storm is coming and their shall be hell to pay.”
AL: “Quite true my brother. Powerbomb, we challenge you to a First Blood Double Elimination match.”
RD: “With one more stipulation: the losing team must disband forever.”
Powerbomb look at each other and nod in agreement.
BS: “You want a fight, you got it. We accept the match.”
JR: “What a shocker. Losing team must disband at Starrcade.”
RK: “It’s gonna be brutal. None of those four men will be the same when their war is over.”
The two teams stare each other down as the scene fades.
X-WCW Studios
From the commercial break, we go over to X-WCW studios where Cole Ryan is on standby. Behind him, we see the huge screen showing the Starrcade: Revolution logo.
CR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot. I am Cole Ryan coming from the X-WCW studios to remind you all about Starrcade Revolution. The BIGGEST attraction of the X-WCW will come your way next month and it’s live on pay-per-view.”
Triple Threat Match
TRD vs Tommy Capello vs Greg Biafra
CR: “It will be a battle between three men inside one ring. The nTo’s The Real Deal wants to prove he IS the real deal but can he outlast the newcomer Tommy Capello. Or better yet, will Greg Biafra prove to everyone that the straight edge lifestyle does indeed give you the edge?”
Texas Death Match
Seith Helloct vs Big Dog
CR: “It has been a bitter feud between the two men ever since Big Dog made his return to the X-WCW. Earlier tonight both men agreed to the Texas Death Match rules in their PPV faceoff. Who will triumph in this encounter? Can Seith Helloct win or will Big Dog show Seith and the world that he has more bite than his bark?”
X-WCW Tag Team Championship
The Final Frontier vs RNR©
CR: “Two of the X-WCW’s premier tag team will square off in the biggest stage of them all. The prize: the X-WCW Tag Team belts. Will the former multi-time tag team champions of Autobot Jazz and SciFi Man triumph over the might of R.E. Rage and The Playboy? This battle is more than just any regular title match, it’s a battle of contrasting styles, differing philosophies and more.”
X-WCW Xtreme Championship
Justin Sane vs Renegade Ron Michaels ©
CR: “Sane’s name says it all he is JUST INSANE! But does his insanity and manic style of wrestling have the power to stop the ground and pound hybrid style of fighting that Ron Michaels delivers to the ring every night? Not only that but with the Xtreme champion’s new decree of an xtreme rules match, will it be in the champ’s favor due to his familiarity with his own rules or will Sane’s intangibles bring home the gold?”
Losing Team Disbands
StarStorm vs PowerBomb
CR: “Ever since the nTo civil war, these two teams have been on each other’s cases. The feud went dormant a couple of months but that was until Powerbomb turned on Cane and the remaining nTo members and joined the Revolution. Powerbomb has been in the X-WCW since the fed itself was still new in the industry while Starstorm has crated a storm of raving reviews from people around the professional wrestling spectrum as one of the elite tag teams today. It’s the classic young vs old match up with a huge twist: the losers will disband for good.”
X-WCW TV Championship
”The Young One” Sandy Drake(c) vs. Mike Magnus
CR: “Sandy Drake made an open challenge to ANYONE who wanted to face him for the X-WCW Television title at Starrcade: Revolution. Enter: Mike Magnus. Mike Magnus, a relative newcomer to the X-WCW, stepped up to the plate and accepted TYO’s challenge. With Drake successfully retaining the belt tonight, he will go onto the PPV and defend it yet again. But this time it seems like the champion will be having some bigger game competition with Mike Magnus. Is the future now? Or will Sandy Drake stay young and stay the TV champ?”
Women's War Match
Absinthe vs Rayne Bloodstone vs Corva Corax
CR: “Three of the X-WCW’s lovely women will square off in the ring to prove who is the most DOMINANT woman in X-WCW!!!!”
Lord of the Ring-Finals
X-WCW Intercontinental Championship
Last Man Standing Match
Joe Goldstone vs The Real American
CR: “Goldstone and Rocky Davis only agree on thing and that is that they CANNOT stand each other! X-WCW CEO John Crook has thrown out the original 2 out of 3 falls stipulation and replace it with the last man standing match. Who among these two men will outlast the other and be crowned the NEW X-WCW Intercontinental Champion?”
Tag Team Turmoil Match
The Stix Brothers vs The Devil’s Rejects vs The Twisted Hunters vs Fragile Minds vs The Lost Boys
CR: “Five of X-WCW’s tag team go in an all out war. The winner will have a title shot lined up to whoever the tag team champs are after the PPV. It’s five teams, but they all have one goal, to win!”
X-WCW U.S. Championship
Mark Marlin vs Sean Bryne (c)
CR: “Sean Byrne takes on Mark Marlin for the X-WCW U.S.
Championship. Will Marlinmaina run over Byrne or will the US champ succeed and retain the title?”
X-WCW World Championship
Rage in a Cage II
Sinister Six Elimination Match
Andrew Radon vs Ignavus vs Otacon vs Cane Deathscream vs Tony Bonito vs Karl Baller ©
CR: “During Vendetta 2, this steel structure made its debut and also made seven other X-WCW superstars suffer in the process. A match that was once banned by then X-WCW CEO Christopher Back has now been reintroduced to the X-WCW by John Crook. On Starrcade: Revolution, six men with the same goal of winning the X-WCW World Title after the match, will step into one of the most hellacious and torturous structures known to men. Who will win? Better yet….who can walk out on their own two feet after this one is over?”
The cameras focus on CR’s face as he delivers his last lines.
CR: “Starrcade: Revolution is available in Pay-Per-View, do not miss this one of a kind event by the X-WCW!!!”
The Young Zone with Sandy Drake
We go back to the ringside area where the ring is already set up for the next segment: The Young Zone. The ring has been carpeted and six lazy boys placed facing each other in a circle and a single stool in the middle of the circle, and flat screen monitors behind some of the chairs. The cameras pan over to the stage as ”It's Not My Time” by Three Doors Down hits and Sandy Drake enters the ringside area wearing a long sleeved white shirt and black pants. The fans cheer the X-WCW television champ as he makes his way down the ramp.
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW! Right now we have “The Young One” Sandy Drake making his way down the ringside area for his edition of The Young Zone!”
RK: “Wow, for a man who has the TV title and a talk show in the X-WCW, Drake sure knows how to keep himself grounded. But then again, I’m just being sarcastic here. Drake is by far a lucky guy, and he should recognize how incredibly lucky the X-WCW is on NOT pulling the plug on this program.”
JR: “Well the thing is, this is just his third time hosting the show, so it’s not like he does this thing often.”
RK: “And for good reason too, the host ain’t that all great, that’s why it doesn’t happen quite often!”
TYO gets into the ring and grabs the house microphone. The fans cheers are heard as TYO’s music fades into the background and eventually gets cut.
Drake: “WELCOME ONCE AGAIN TO THE YOUNG ZONE!!!”
The crowd pops big while TYO pauses to hear their reaction. He makes his way towards the lone stool and sits down
Drake: “Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, looks like we are here for another addition of The Young One folks... and I know what your saying, "Oh man not another one this thing sucks", well it doesn't matter what you all think, cause I'm here right now and you all gotta watch... Just messing with you guys anyways on to why everyone watches the show, the guests. And tonight I have some very special guests here, some familiar faces, and a whole bunch of new faces.”
Again, the crowd cheers like its 1999! TYO paces around his set and talks over about the first guest.
Drake: “So tonight our guests will be none other then The X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion DA KID Karl Baller, and well everyone else who’s in the main event at Starrcade: Revolution. So with out further adu' I give you... our first guest is a man who started out with one of the worst win loss streaks in professional wrestling, a man that fought through that and went on to win The World Tag Team Titles with another one of my guests here, the went on to have a great singles career with winning the US Heavyweight Title and is the World Heavyweight Champion, a man that last time he was on the show he dissed me and my setup calling my flat screens nothing but cardboard, I give you Karl Baller!!!”
“Hate it or Luv” by 50 cent hits the speakers and Karl Baller comes out to a loud response from the fans. KB is seen wearing the brand new black and silver X-WCW basketball jersey (available now on Xwcwshop.com).
JR: “Here comes Karl Baller, the X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion!”
KB slides into the ring and poses for the fans before he and TYO shake hands. He props down on the chair and waits for the next man to be introduced.
Drake: “Next we have the man that proved to the world that no matter how lazy you are, you can succeed in life and if there is one moment we had to choose to prove this, it would have to be the night were he one The World Heavy Weight Championship, he is the Slacker King Ignavus!”
“Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz plays and Ignavus lazily comes out wearing some jeans and a ‘serial slackaz’ t-shirt. The crowd greets him with a big round of cheers while he continues to make his way down the ramp.
JR: “Joshua Ignavus, one of the X-WCW’s most interesting individuals.”
RK: “And by interesting, he is INTERESTINGLY LAZY!”
Igz gingerly makes his way into the ring and scratches his bum before he grins at both men and props down the lazyboy. Seconds later, a loud snore is heard coming out from his mouth before Drake continues.
Drake: “Also we have the former World Champ Otacon in the house, he seen and done it all folks, and this will be a very different Starrcade for Otacon then the last one as he was in because last time he was in the first match of the night, and this time he will be in the main event. It’s his first time so folks lets be gentle with him here.”
Otacon comes out with his new music blaring over the PA systems and he is seen wearing the “I will make you BLEED” t-shirt as the fans cheer for the conman.
RK: “Otacon is an interesting competitor, JR. Even when he wasn’t a champ, he LOVES blood. I guess this match will feed him into his bloodlusts doesn’t it JR?”
JR: “I think so, King. This type of match, the rage in a cage II match, can be somewhat of an advantage for Otacon.”
Otacon slides into the ring and poses for the fans before he shakes hands with TYO and then sits on an empty chair.
Drake: “Then we have a guy who has been on the show before, although under a different name, he is a former World Tag Team Champion along with Karl Baller, as well as a former TV Champion as well. I give you Andrew Randon.”
“30/30.150” by Stone Sour hits and Andrew Radon comes out with a chorus of boos from the crowd. He is wearing the blue and white “Pain and Suffering” t-shirt (now available on..you know..) as he marches his way down the ramp.
RK: “For a guy that I have verbally blasted on the air, I have to admit JR, he has FOCUS now.”
JR: “I know what you mean, King. Upon his return to the X-WCW, Radon has been a changed man.”
Radon hits the ring and he makes his way towards his own lazy boy. He does not even shake the hand of TYO who had his stretched out. TYO shrugs as AR sits on his chair and has a smug look at KB.
Drake: “We have a man that as tried all his time here in X-WCW, but every time he has come close the World Heavy Weight Championship always seems to slip out of his reach he is one of the most decorated men in wrestling today, he is Tony Bonito.”
“Fury of the storm” hits and Tony Bonito comes out to a loud chorus of boos from the fans. He does not make his usual ring entrance as he just marches down the rampway wearing the NEW Revolution t-shirt (you know where to order don’t you? DON’T YOU?). He finally enters the ring and heads towards the corner to pose for the fans, who now chant “nito sucks”
RK: “Man! Can’t the fans give him the respect he deserves?”
JR: “I don’t know, King. I think he is about getting the RIGHT amount as we speak. Heheheh!”
TYO extends his hand to Bonito, who looks at TYO confused before he grins and shakes hands eventually. He takes a seat on his lazy boy while the camera pans over to TYO yet again.
Drake: “Okay then…… and finally a man who is no stranger to World Championship gold Cane Deathsream.”
“Deadly game” hits and Cane Deathscream comes out to a pop from the fans. He is wearing the classic nTo t-shirt while he makes his way down the ringside area.
JR: “Cane Deathscream, the current leader of the nTo, is the final guest for tonight’s show.”
RK: “The big man is looking very big…pun intended.”
CD enters the ring and both he and Drake shake hands before the final member sits down.
Drake: “Alright gentlemen now that the formalities are over, lets get down to business now I’ll ask the question and until then no one speak lets try to keep it clean guys there are kids watching too. Okay now that everyone knows the rules our first question goes to the Champ Baller. Karl we all know that you were originally going to face Otacon for the World Title at Starrcade one-on-one, and under the strange circumstances that you won the title and are now the champion going into Starrcade how does that make you feel compared to being the challenger going into Starrcade?”
KB: "It's great you asked me something like that. I feel as though I rather would have been da challenger. See, I worked my a*s off to get my one on one opportunity at a 100% healthy world champion at da main event of Starrcade. That was what da X-Rumble was suppose to be. Da way I am going into Starrcade now, I feel like I stole this world title from someone who wasn't healthy at all."
KB looks around before speaking.
KB: “This was not how I was suppose to win this...that is why you don't see me with that World title. At starrcade though, everyone coming into this match will be at 100%, and there will be no excuses. Each of you are coming to take what is mines, and i'll be d****d before I allow that to happen. I am going to come in there, buss each and everyone one of your a***s and walk back out as THE X-WCW world champion! Tony Bonito, Cane Deathscream.......Andrew Radon, even Ignavus and Otacon, you all are going to learn why ain't nobody seeing da kid."
Drake: “Alright and now Otacon, we all know how you felt about Karl pinning you for the World Title a few weeks ago, and how Mr. Cook has been trying to distance you from winning the Title again as much as he can, does that give you a certain extra determination to win back the title?”
Oc: “Without doubt man, i mean i go into every match with only one goal and that's to win by any means necessary......The fact that Crook thinks his boys in any way intimidate or dissuade me from this make me wanna kick the crap outta the people that cross me even more.”
Drake: “Now since John Cook has been running things here during the absence of Chris Back Tony Bonito has been something of a lap dog for him, and not just any lap dog he is the alpha dog for Revolution, so Tony after coming short many times in winning the World Title, do you feel that being Revolution poster boy will give you and extra edge over your opponents come Starrcade?”
TB: “Revolution poster boy? Wow that’s certainly a new one Sandy. Before I answer your questions, I got to clear up a few things here. You’re a bit jumping on conclusions about Tony Bonito saying I’m the lap dog of John Crook. You may be right that I am the alpha dog or the head of the whole group, but I am NOBODY’s lap dog, you got that?”
KB smirks at TB, who in turn glares at the champ before he looks back at Drake.
TB: “I am my own damn man! The reality of it all is John Crook is just our sponsor, the man who bought the name Revolution into the X-WCW for us to use. He deals with the office duties while I dictate to the others what needs to be done in the ring. And now to answer your question, I don’t think being in the Revolution will give me the edge over these 5 other men in Starrcade. I already have one edge over them that counts, my wrestling abilities. It’s well known I have come up short time and time again, but until HOW long will it last? Sandy Drake, you have to see Starrcade and look at the next word…REVOLUTION. At that night, something new is going to happen and it can be my fortunes of coming up short. Maybe at that time, I will finally get the title belt that I have been gunning for since 5 years ago.”
Drake: “Randon, since you have come back to The X-WCW, you have had one thing and one thing only on your mind and that is your former partner Karl Baller, you want to get a certain amount of payback on him, why is that, and would that come in between your shot at winning the World Title?”
AR: “Well, Drake, where do I start? The guy wanted to put our tag team on hold so he could be a singles wrestler, and move up the card. He did so, and when the time came to get some gold, he wasn't giving it his all, and that's why I want to destroy him. As far as Starrcade, when we are in that ring, I plan to beat Baller to within an inch of his life, and take his X-WCW World Heavyweight Title.”
Drake: “Karl now I have to comment on what he said and ask, the last Young Zone show had you and Randon here as our guests, and you were both best friends at the time, other then being the World Champion, why do you feel that Andrew has it in for you?”
KB darts his eyes to his former partners and gives him an insane staredown. After a minute he speaks.
KB: "I don't know at all. Andrew, you were like my ma f***** brother. I loved you like you was family...I treated you like you was family. Deep down inside, I still look at you as my best friend, even though I know you turned on me. We were unstoppable, we only lost two times, both because of outside interference. To this day, I have no idea why that snake has it for me...but I do know that at Starrcade I am going to beat it out of him. I am going to make it my #1 priority to make sure this prick suffers worse than anyone in that cage and that is da truth and nothing less."
Drake: “Ignavus…. Will someone please wake him up for me?”
Baller leans over to Igz’s chair and gives him a whack across the head to wake him up.
Drake: “Thanx K, as I was saying since you lost the World Title you have taken something of a sabbatical, where did you go?”
Igz: I got amnesia and became a captain of a boat. Then I met up with Mick Foley, who had amnesia again too, and we fought a bunch of pirates to save some orphans.
Drake: “Deathscream, our first real X-WCW legend here with us folks, you also took sometime off of the ring, and have come back, after all that happened with you and being betrayed by PowerBomb, do you feel like this is your chance at some revenge against Revolution, and like The Real Deal said a few weeks ago before I faced him in the ring, to bring back some gold and respect to the N.T.O.?”
CD: "The last few years have been a personal Hell for me and what PowerBomb did only adds to the fire to my rage."
Drake: “And Deathscream, I have to bring up something Otacon has said about you recently and I quote “we have Cane Deathscream, dont get me wrong i have respect for the big guy but if anyone ever got a title shot on sentiment alone it's him, the words Past It also come to mind!” how do you feel about the people that say your finished, all washed up, draining away your once great career and leaving nothing but a muddle of muck to end it all. Do you feel like if you haven’t already, there is a time when you gotta say, enough is enough I’ve done enough and now its time to stop?”
CD: "Otacon needs a reality check because I don't recall him ever beating Bonito in a one-on-one match and I seem to remember Ignavus beating him in one minute. My first goal is too make sure Tony Bonito doesn't walk out of Starrcade: Revolution as the X-WCW World Champion and as far "sentiment" goes whose sentiment got me in this match NO ONE. My goal is too inflict as much pain as I can on Tony Bonito. I'm the best shape of my life.”
Drake: “And back to Bonito, Cook has said that he is going to extra lengths to insure that you win at Starrcade, could you elaborate on what kind of plans he has exactly?”
TB: “As the one who heard it myself, I have no idea.”
The fans boo and chant “Bullshit” at TB.
TB: “CMON! IT’S TRUE! He just told me what you saw on TV, that’s it. I don’t know what is on his mind most of the time but if you want some speculation, it might just mean no other idiot would interfere in the match or something. That’s all I can think about if you ask me that question.”
Drake: “The old saying with The World Title its every man for himself out there, so Karl how do you feel about having to face a couple of your friends in possible the most barbaric match in X-WCW?”
KB: “As I said before, they are coming in to take whats mines, and I ain't letting that happen. Don't think because we fight for da same cause, I won't give Otacon a headshot that will send his a*s back to England. Don't think for a fact that I won't give Ignavus a #1 single so hard he will stay awake for 365 days a year no sleep whatsoever. It don't matter friend or foe, I WILL be da last man in that cage."
Drake: “Now Connie,(Otacon) we all know you have a taste to make everyone bleed, do you think that Rage in the Cage will quench that thirst?”
Oc: “In a word, Nah!.....Hell it's probably gonna make me wanna hurt people even more, man it's gonna be fun!!!”
Drake: “Alright Mr. Lazy Boy how lazy are you gonna get in preparation for The Match at Starrcade?”
Igz: “Wait! Crap? I have a match at Starrcade? Crap! I forget to open my mail! crap!”
Drake: “But didn’t you go here for THAT reason? cause you know you have a match at starrcade?...or were you just here for the lazyboy again?”
Igz: “Look, dude... um... I don't even know who you are. I don't even know where I am! I... I thought this was the candy store! You know... the one with all the dancing, topless redhead girls? .....wait, wait, you're saying it doesn't exist? DAMN YOU D-EX, YOU LIED TO ME AGAIN!!!!!”
Igz hops out from his chair and leaves the ring…searching for his fabled candy store by going up the ramp and through the curtains. Back inside the ring, everyone including TYO was left confused and dumbfounded for a moment.
Drake: “Alright…moving on…”
Drake pulls out a couple of cue cards from his pocket and begins to shuffle them. He stops at one and his eyes widen in glee. He looks at the remaining five guests and asks the next question.
Drake: “HELLO DOLLY! This last question sure takes the cake. Well actually guys I’ve been asking this in different variations but the producers want me to ask it once more before we leave. So guys, in your own opinion, do you have what it takes to win in the match on Starrcade? Champ, we will start with you.”
KB: “Yo, I know I do have what it takes to take these guys down. I have a lotta prove in the damn cage rather than just bein champ. First of..”
TB: “Shut the hell up, bitch boy! I don’t care what the hell you wanna say. As a matter of fact, out of all of you here in this ring, the only one I can stand was Ignavus. Sadly, the lazy bum left! Now I’m stranded in this damn ring with a hapless host and 4 other loudmouths who just love to hear themselves talk!”
KB stands up and so does TB, Both men stare down at each other.
KB: “Ayo, you sick about it bald boy? Wanna do something bout it?”
TYO tries to get in their way.
Drake: “Uhm guys, I can see the intensity and as much as everyone appreciates it…my set aint a place to fight. I know this is a wrestling ring and all but c’mon.”
Unexpectedly, Andrew Radon is the one who gets to his feet and also stands in between KB and TB. He helps TYO separate them much more by trying to talk sense into TB. But in an instant, he attempts a superkick right on Karl Baller. KB avoids the superkick, but it is Sandy Drake who unfortunately gets the receiving end of the kick and falls to the outside of the ring. Soon enough, the other two men get to their feet and brawl.
JR: “It’s a five man brawl inside that ring!!! BAH GAWD!”
RK: “The tension was high in that set right from the beginning, JR. To anyone who did NOT expect this one coming would be just blind. BLIND AS A BAT I TELL YOU!”
JR: “Well folks that is all the time we have, for Randal King, this is James Russell signing out!”
X-WCW comes to a close while a horde of referees get into the ring and break up the five man brawl.
