The X-WCW broadcast starts and we see a black and white footage of the first opening of the X-WCW.
JR: Welcome to X-WCW Warzone and we welcome you as we come live from sold out the Conseco Feildhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana!!!”
V.O.: “For over 7 years…the X-WCW had accomplished a lot…Its first show…”

The video shows D-Extreme celebrating in the ring as then General Manager Cyberstrike rolls Bombshell off the ring.
V.O.: “Unification with other federations that the X-WCW has bought out”
We see several shots of Cyberstrike holding up a contract before we see the XAW/X-WCW world title unification match being won by Wolfang. Another clip shows Otacon winning over TGO at CCII as he holds two belts in the air before the clip fades to black.
V.O.: “Finally…bragging rights as to who was the best while proving it inside three grueling cages and two rings.”
As we hear the voice over, we see a brief highlight of the Xtreme Wargames Match back from Collision Course II. Eventually, the clip fades to black as Karl Baller gets his hand raised to give the win for the X-WCW.
V.O.: “And for over 7 years, the X-WCW has kept its moniker for the eXtreme.”
We see a slow motion clip of Wreck-Tron delivering a belly to belly suplex on Ghostal while both of them are from the ladder and sending both of them onto the stacked up wooden tables.
V.O.: “From the awe-inspiring…”
We see Justin Sane doing a Senton Splash from the ladder before it fades out.”
V.O.: “To the plain gruesome…”
We see a shot of a bloodied Christopher “Cyberstrike” Back inside the ring. The footage zooms out and we see him being restrained by R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne inside the ring.
JR: “Oh NO! What else can these three do!
Bonito turns on the weed whacker and he nears it on Christopher Back. The camera shot however pans to the crowd and we hear James Russell’s voice over.
JR: “BAH GAWD!!! NO!”
We see a bloodied and bludgeoned figure of Chris Back slumped in the ring before it fades to black and we hear the voice over.
V.O.: “But tonight, the X-WCW will turn to its first century show…”
We see the Ground Zero IV logo flash briefly before we see the following clips
- Nightmare hitting the triple jump moonsault

V.O.: “The action comes alive.”
We see the following clips:

- Justin Sane dives off the ropes and lands outside onto RA
- Judge Death driving Fresh Prince on a burning table with a powerbomb
- Real American smacking Joe Goldstone over the head with a chair
- Helloct avoiding an incoming Big Dog and Big Dog crashing onto the window
The footage fades to black as Big Dog slowly crashes onto the black Durango below. Soon, we see Tony Bonito holding both titles in the air inside the ring as we hear the voice over.
V.O.: “And history….”
The clip fades and now we see Christopher Back in the background. He grins and looks onto the camera before he speaks.
CB: “History…will be made once again.”
The video fades before we see the X-WCW logo. Soon, it moves around and shifts into the GZ IV logo.
V.O.: “And now…The X-WCW presents….GROUND ZERO IV: THE RETURN!!!”
The video package closes and we are treated to the usual fireworks on the X-WCW stage. The camera pans over to the capacity crowd inside the arena before he goes over to the announce booth with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome everyone to the 100th show of the X-WCW, this is GROUND ZERO IV!!! Good evening everyone, this is James Russell alongside Randal King for this historic night. We are live from where the X-WCW has started…right here in the Conseco Feildhouse in Indianapolis Indiana!!!”
RK: “A historic night it is indeed, JR! I mean, wow, SHOW NUMBER 100! We made it JR! Hah, even I can’t believe I’m still employed here by this time. I mean..after all the lawsuits I’ve gotten for…”
JR: “Yes, I heard about your sexual harassment cases Randal, but your personal issues has to be set aside for tonight. Tonight, not only do we have bigger issues to tackle inside that squared circle, but also we assure the fans that this is a night to remember. All the titles will be on the line tonight at Ground Zero, and not only that King, but the main event is sure to be a mystery.”
RK: “Mysterious is one way to talk about it JR for tonight we will see Tony Bonito and John Crook take on Team XS. Who is team XS? Even tonight we don’t have a clue.”
JR: “So all of the questions will be answered tonight in this historic show of the X-WCW.”
X-WCW TV Championship
Weapons match
Nightmare vs. Mike Magnus (c)
RK: “Speaking of historic, our next match takes us to have a little history lesson here JR.”
JR: “Indeed, King. It’s Nightmare against Mike Magnus. As we all know, Magnus is the current reigning Television champion of the X-WCW and Nightmare has had a good run in the past as the Xtreme champion. The two collided with each other only recently. Let’s take a look.”
*********
The video package shows the following footage
Doubleshot #17…
We see a clip of Mike Magnus getting his hand raised after winning his match.
JR: “I gotta admit, it was a fast match as you said King. But that might mean more action will be reserved for us tonight in this Doubleshot show before Ground Ze..OH MY GOOD LORD!”
The video footage shows Nightmare and Rayne Bloodstone attacking Mike Magnus from behind.
JR: “Nightmare and Rayne Bloodstone just sneaked up from behind and attacked the Television Champion!”
The clip then skips over to the part where Rayne Bloodstone has Mike Magnus and Nightmare sends him down with a vicious chairshot over the head.
RK: “ARGH! That was one sickening thud!”
JR: “Goodness! This isn’t right, what did Mike Magnus do to deserve such a beating the likes of this?”
The footage shows Nightmare pointing at a ladder outside the ring.
RK: “oh no, don’t tell me they will use THAT ladder!”
Rayne shoves the ladder inside the ring and Nightmare starts to set it up. Rayne Bloodstone climbs back into the ring and sets up the table while NM ascends the ladder. Mike Magnus is getting put on the table and is pummeled momentarily until NM makes it on top of the ladder.
JR: “Nightmare is on top and he goes crashing down off the ladder with a moonsault on Mike Magnus! BAH GAWD!”
RK: “Whoa, talk about how one man is going through extreme measures to give a statement here tonight.”
JR: “A demented and sick human being Nightmare is, King.”
The video fades until we see a new one. This time, it’s Nightmare delivering his triple jump moonsault on CJ Baller.
JR: “THE FEAR!!! The triple jump moonsault has been delivered by Nightmare on CJ Baller and he hooks the leg for the pin. 1-2-and oh my…Nightmare just got pulled out of the ring by…MIKE MAGNUS?!”
RK: “Did he just climb out from under the ring JR?!”
JR: “I-I believe he did!”
Magnus delivers some stiff right hands to the face of Nightmare before he tries to send him into the ring steps. Nightmare blocks it and delivers a back elbow to the face of his enemy. Eventually, both men start to punch it out with each other on the outside while the referee tries to call Nightmare’s attention to go back into the match.
JR: “Mike Magnus and Nightmare are now taking the fight into the crowd! Someone better call security cause we gotta stop that pier 6 brawl there.”
The footage fades until we hear Nightmare’s voice over.
NM V.O.: “Mike Magnus…Don't think I would forget about that, you run in and steal my thunder, when all I wanted from you was to make an example out of you. But instead of an example, you became a thorn. A rather LARGE thorn."
While we hear Nightmare’s voice over, we see replays of Mike Magnus and Nightmare brawling outside the ring while inside, The Renegade gets the win over CJ Baller.
NM V.O.: “So guess what, you don't know what's about to come after you. But now, you'll know. I am coming after YOU, your title, and Your LIFE!!!”
The footage ends with Nightmare smirking at the camera.
****
The camera shifts to the ring with Terri Hotbody II inside the ring with the mic
THII: “Ladies & gentlemen, the following contest is a weapons match, it will have a 30 minute time-limit and it is for the X-WCW Television Championshiiiiiiip!! The rules are simple, weapons are legal and you may use them whenever you want, but you may only win the match by pin or submission inside the ring! Introducing the challenger…”
Mixed reactions from the crowd are heard as “Ladies & Gentlemen” by Saliva hits the speakers. About 12 seconds into the song, Nightmare comes through the curtains with a steel chair in his hands. He looks to be twitching a bit as he walks by the crowd ignoring the fans that want to shake his hand. He slides into the ring, and raises the chair as if he has already won the upcoming battle.
THII: “From your living Nightmare…standing 5’11 and weighing in 180 lbs…NIIIGHTMAAAARE!!!”
JR: “This guy is a psycho path. He came into the X-WCW relatively small, but he has bulked up and gotten even more dangerous than before. Before it was tough for him to lift superstars up so he used his speed and agility, but now add a little power to his game and you have a complete threat in Nightmare.”
RK: “I like this French fry…he is as ruthless as they come. The champ better watch out.”
“Ladies & Gentlemen” cut off and “To The Pain” by Nonpoint replaces it.
THII: “And his opponent…”
The crowd gets on their feet and starts a “Maaagnuuuus” chant. The Television champion comes onto the stage with the title around his waist and his hands raised high. Magnus shakes his head in anger and charges down to the ring.
THII: “Representing Baltimore MD, standing 5’10 and weighing in at 217 lbs…he is the X-WCW Television Champion…..MIIIIKE MAAAAAGNUUUUS!!!!”
JR: “The television champ has had this title for some time now King, ever since Starrcade: Revolution. He has defended it night in and night out; this will be a great challenge for him though. Lets see how well he does tonight.”
He unfastens his belt as he slides into it and throws it at Nightmare, who in turn throws the chair at Mike. The weapons collide…and so do the superstars as the two begin trading punches.
RK: “Whoa…yeah! Lets get it on!”
The bell rings, but both superstars are already going at it as they continue to trade punches, but it looks like no one is tiring down. Punch after punch, the two rivals continues to beat each other down, until a Magnus punch is blocked. Nightmare hits Magnus with two lightning fast punches to his face, followed by two lightning fast kicks to each leg, and an upward elbow that hits Magnus dead in the chin. Magnus doubles back and Nightmare takes him down with a spinning roundhouse kick!
JR: “BOOM, a vicious kick to Magnus! What is he doing now?”
RK: “He is going for a ground headlock now JR.”
As Nightmare tries for the quick submission, Magnus attempts to power out of it and stop himself from tapping out. The TV champion flails around a bit, but finally finds a way to get on his two feet. Nightmare still has a headlock, and he shows his wrestling skill by executing a headlock take down, but he lets go and grabs Magnus’s left arm. Nightmare attempts a fujiwa arm bar, but Magnus grabs Nightmares arm and pulls away from Nightmare. The two get back on their feet and standoff.
Mike Magnus and Nightmare begin to circle each other, and Nightmare breaks the suspense and charges at Mike. Mike ducks and hits the ropes, but both superstars slide out of the ring. Mike goes under the ring and pulls out a stop sign; he slides back into the ring only to find Nightmare inside with a Yield sign! They circle each other until Mike Magnus flings the stop sign like a Frisbee. Nightmare, who is caught off guard and hit on the top of his forehead, drops his yield sign on the ground and MM takes advantage of by running and ddting NM headfirst onto the yield sign! He attempts the first pin of the match.
JR: “1…2…thr-kickout!”
RK: “Whoa, Magnus was half a second from winning this match.”
Mike wastes no time and mounts NM. He throws MMA like elbows at Nightmare and connects with 2 clean blows to the forehead. Nightmare’s head bounces off of the mat from the impact and Mike starts throwing a flurry. Nightmare is hit with a few, but blocks a few as well. This goes on for a bout 10 seconds until Nightmare finally catches an elbow and sends a quick and hard open palm to Mike Magnus’s nose. Magnus is caught off guard and falls off of Nightmare. He rolls over a bit and lies on his back holding his nose.
Nightmare crawls towards the ropes and slowly gets up. The challenger looks a little groggy, but he shakes his head as he gets himself back together. Meanwhile, Magnus is also up, but you can see blood dripping from his nose. Just then, Nightmare charges at Mike and hits him with a quick 1-2 punch followed by a side kick to his opponents ribs. Nightmare takes Magnus down with a Judo throw right after that. Mike finally lets go of his nose and you still can see blood flowing down like a waterfall.
RK: “The champs nose might be broken JR. This is not good!”
JR: “You are right King, Nightmare is like a shark as well, he smells blood and takes advantage of it.”
As if JR was speaking to Nightmare, he wastes no time and bounces off of the ropes and connects with a knee drop to Mike’s face. The challenger lands on Mike’s nose so Magnus starts to flail around. Nightmare gets up and hits Nightmare with a standing knee drop this time only to get the same thing. The television champ screams in agony as Nightmare punishes his opponent.
The TV champ is helped up by the hair and then is taken back down by a snapmare. This time though, Nightmare locks in a chin lock, then pulls up and squeezes on Mike’s nose! The referee dives towards the two superstars and asks Mike if he is ready to submit, but the champ stays strong and screams no.
JR: “This is bad King. Nightmare is putting pressure on Mike Magnus and his injured nose, this much pain applied could cause Mike to pass out.”
About 30 seconds into the hold, you can see Mike reaching for the yield sign. Nightmare continues to put pressure on his opponents nose, but Mike’s hand is pulling the sign towards him. Nightmare has gotten into the submission hold and doesn’t notice, but Mike Magnus now has the yield sign in his grasp. With every piece of strength in him, the television champion hits his challenger on the top of the head with the yield sign.
Nightmare lets go and gets up holding his forehead and backs up. Mike does the same; blood dripping down his nose and everything he looks ready to seize this opportunity. With the yield sign in hand, he charges Nightmare who is backed into the ropes. Mike then slams the yield sign on Nightmare again; only this time the challenger falls through the middle ropes.
Mike Magnus rubs his nose a bit and heads over to the ropes looks at Nightmare slowly getting to his feet. Mike pulls on the ropes then vaults over them! Nightmare finally gets to his feet only to be hit with a flying body and grounded once again.
RK: “Mike is not playing any games with this guy! He wants to stay the X-WCW TV champion and he will do anything to keep that title.”
JR: “Mike is the first one up and he is helping Nightmare to his feet.”
After two knee strikes to the gut, Nightmare is tossed over the barricade and into the crowd. Mike follows behind and hits Nightmare with clubs to the back. He turns Nightmare around and sets him up for a suplex, but Nightmare pushes off and hits a vicious European uppercut that connects dead on Mike Magnus’s chin. The champ staggers back and Nightmare starts to go through the crowd.
Mike follows and catches up to Nightmare. He attacks the challenger and the two superstars trade blows as they head through the crowd. No one really has the upper hand as the two trade punches while taking a tour of the Indiana field house. Nightmare blocks a punch and sends a chop that connects on Mike’s neck, he then grabs one of the X-WCW fans replica X-WCW United Stats championship belts and nearly takes Mike’s head off with it.
Mike is on the ground as Nightmare helps him up by the hair and pulls him back towards the barricade. When they get close, Mike reacts and pushes Nightmare with hopes that he will crash into the barricade, but Nightmare uses cat like reflexes and jumps on top of it. Mike wastes little time and hits a running drop kick that connects right on Nightmare’s backside, and the challenger goes flying and hits his head on the ring apron. Mike Magnus grabs his bleeding nose and climbs over, but as he walks towards Nightmare, you can see he starts to move sluggishly.
JR: “Looks like losing all of that blood is taking its effect King.”
RK: “Yup. Looks like the fat lady is getting on the stage for poor Magnus.”
The champ groggily goes under the ring and pulls out a 6 set of florescent light tubes. As he gets up, Nightmare is sliding into the ring, so he slides the tubes into the ring and tries to copy his opponent and slide in also. When his feet almost get from under the bottom rope, Nightmare stops Mike Magnus in his tracks with a senton splash landing on the back of his head! The champ rolls over holding his nose once again, but this does not stop the challenger from his attack. Nightmare hurries out of the ring and heads over to the announcers.
RK: “What the hell is this sicko doing JR! Hey back away from me. I said get awa-*static*”
Nightmare pulls Randall King out of his steel chair, takes it from him, and tosses it over the top rope. The challenger then climbs into the ring and locks in a basic crossface. The referee checks to see if Mike Magnus wants to give up. Does not oblige and tries to rip his way out of the crossface. Nightmare does not let go and pulls back even harder which causes a scream from the TV champion. However the champion quickly rolls this into a simple roll-up pin attempt!
JR: “Roll-up! 1…2…thr-NO! Nightmare has kicked out just in the nick of time!!”
The two superstars get up and charge each other. Nightmare goes for a clothesline, while Mike ducks and pulls his opponent down for another roll-up!
JR: “1…2..early kickout.”
Both get up again, but this time Nightmare attempts a standing hurracarrana. As he attempts the flip, Mike uses his strength to stay standing. He then lifts Nightmare back up all the way for a powerbomb attempt, but the challenger attempts his move once more. This time, he connects, but he stays sitting and wraps Mike’s legs into a pin.
RK: “1…2..new ch-NO! The champ kicks out!”
The two superstars get up, but they both roll out of the ring and go under it at the exact same time. When both superstars pop back out, they slide back in with a weapon of their choosing. Nightmare has a kendo stick in his left hand and Mike Magnus has…the exact same weapon in his right. The two look at their respective weapons and then at each other. With a sick smirk on Nightmares face, they begin to circle the ring.
JR: “Nightmare holds his kendo stick out and points it at Magnus.”
RK: “This reminds me of a good old texas stand off JR, with kendo sticks instead of guns though.”
Nightmare takes to quick steps forward and dodges a vertical swing from Magnus, he then swings it at Mike’s ribs, but the champ blocks the attack with his own stick. Mike hits Nightmare with a right hand and swings wildly at his opponent. You can see that Mike’s movements are a little off and slower this time, but he blocks a horizantal swing from Nightmare. As the two trade blows, Mike’s bloody nose has formed a painting like stain on his stomach already.
A tired and groggy Mike Magnus swings it again, only this time Nightmare ducks and slaps Mike’s hand that holds the stick. The challenger then hits a vicious kick to Mike’s left shin, which causes the champ to end over. NM shoves the front of his stick into the ring then swings it upwards, smashing right into Mike’s nose and breaking. This causes the champ to jump up as he grabs his nose in utter pain. The challenger then picks up the other kendo stick and hits the same type of strike, only this time it connects onto Mike’s groin. The champ drops onto both knees and grabs his groin, exposing his nose.
JR: “This is not looking go-OOOOH BAH GAWD!!!”
RK: “WHOA A GO TO SLEEP BUZZSAW KICK FROM NIGHTMARE!!! RIGHT IN THE NOSE IT’S OVER!!!”
Nightmare nearly took Mike Magnus’s head off with his Got To Sleep kick after the champ dropped to his knees. The challenger looks at his opponent and attempts a pinfall.
RK: “1…2…3, its over! What a vicious showing from these two!”
“Ladies & Gentlemen” by Saliva hits the speakers and the crowd give a mixed reaction. Teri Hotbody II makes the announcement as emt’s come to help Mike Magnus.
THII: “The winner of this bout by pinfall…and NEWW X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPION…NIIIIIIGHTMAAAAAARE!!!”
JR: “Well King, Nightmare has captured the X-WCW TV championship for the first time in his career. He showed the world that he means business with this victory though.”
RK: “Exactly JR, this was a great match. After he noticed Mike’s bleeding nose, he did not stop attacking it, and in the end it won him the match
Nightmare is handed the title and he raises it in the air with a smirk. He then climbs out of the ring puts the title over his shoulder before heading up the ramp-way. Mike meanwhile gets helped out of the ring and towards the back.
JR: “This was a great match, but the night is not over. More action coming your way!”
We see the Final Frontier members, having recovered from their previous beatings to some degree, moving themselves into the laid out members of the nTo red (Cyberstrike and D-Extreme).
JR: “1…. 2…. 3! NEW CHAMPIONS!”
The bell rings, and the fans erupt for their new champions!
TH: “Here are your winners – and the NEW X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
JR: “In two straight matches, the nTo duo has lost both tag team title match. However, king, this is historic. Final Frontier has done the impossible and defeated X-WCW’s fiercest duo to date!”
The video fades as we see SFM and AJ celebrate their win for the International Tag Team Titles
X-WCW World Tag Team Championship
The Lost Boys vs. The Final Frontier(c)
X-WCW Ground Zero IV comes back from the sold out Conseco Feildhouse in Indianapolis Indiana.
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to Ground Zero IV! Up next, we have the tag team titles on the line as the defending Champions Final Fronteir will take on The Lost Boys.”
RK: “You know JR, if you told me that a match like this would happen about a year or so…I’d never believe you. I mean, The Lost Boys? Rocky Davis’ goons actually a legit threat to the tag team titles? Well, they did just that and proved their case as a real threat as they will face the tag team champs.”
JR: “Let’s see how the match transpired before tonight.”
****
We are taken to a video package for the tag team title match
Nitro #24…
The video starts off with Autobot Jazz delivering the Statis Lock on R.E. Rage and goes for the pin.
JR: “STATIS LOCK! What a powerful knee strike to the head of R.E. Rage. Here is the pin 1-2-3! FINAL FRONTIER DID IT!”
THII: “The winners and NEW X-WCW Tag Team Champions FINAL FRONTIER!!!”
Final Frontier receive their newly won tag team belts from the referee. Both SFM and AJ raise their tag team titles in victory before the clip fades out and we hear a voice over from Autobot Jazz.
AJ V.O.: “We stand here before you and the world as the X-WCW Tag Team Champions. Once again the we are the trend setting, record breaking, tag team to beat. We are now 4 time tag team champions. No other team in the X-WCW has accomplished this. Now we're not here to brag. We'll let our actions speak for themselves.”
While we hear AJ’s voice over, we see the following clips:
- Autobot Jazz hitting a well executed dropkick to the face of Brett Rayne
- SciFi Man delivering a splash from the top rope on Raven Darkstorm
- AJ and SFM delivering a double DDT on Bombshell
The footage and the voice over both fade as we see Final Frontier pose with their belts inside the ring. The footage comes back and we now see The Lost Boys getting their hand raised by the referee.
THII: “Here are your winners, and the Number 1 Contenders to the X-WCW Tag Team Championships, THE LOST BOYS."
The scene fades before we see a shot of Final Frontier and The Lost Boys inside the ring.
SFM: “Lost boys, it doesn’t matter what you bring in this match with you cause in the end, the good guys always win. We do not let evil doers get their ways, especially not get their way through our belts.”
Mike: “That’s all good and whatnot about your good guy/bad guy speech fellas. However, it’s a sad truth that we will beat you and we will defeat you for those X-WCW tag team titles on Ground Zero IV: The Return. You know why it’s called ‘the return’, fellas? Mark, tell ‘em why.”
Mark: “It’s because those tag team titles will return to glory when it gets in our waist.”
Both teams stand up and go face to face. In the middle of it all, RNR just sit down and look uneasy upon realizing the impending brawl inside their set. Slowly, Mike Daniels lifts his mic.
Mike: “Oh and one more thing guys, here’s a little going away present for you.”
Mike Daniels slams the mic right into the face of SFM and it instigates the in-ring brawl. “Are you ready?” by Hazen Street starts to play as the brawl continues in the ring. The scene fades before we see the following clips with the respective lyrics from the song.
“Are you ready to die for us, are you willing to lose your freedom?”
- AJ sending Mark Daniels to crash on the TV set
- Mike Daniels slapping the face of SFM hard
“Are you ready, are you with me or not”
- Final Frontier walking down the rampway with their tag titles
- The Lost Boys looking at the outside of the ring while motioning for the belts
“Cause I'm going all out so SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!”
We see SFM hitting the spiral vortex before the video package fades with the Final Frontier posing with their belts on the stage.
***
We go back to ringside with Terri Hotbody II to introduce the match
THII: “Ladies and gentlemen, following tag-team contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60 minute time-limit, and it is for the X-WCW WOOOORLD TAAG-TEEAAAAM CHAMPIOOONSHIIIIIIPS!!!!”
The crowd pops tremendously for another championship bout.
THII: “Introducing the challengers…”
“Feed My Frakenstien” hits the speakers and the walking giants known as The Lost Boys emerge from the curtains. The two receive a negative reaction from the crowd, but they just look angrier as they walk down the ramp.
JR: “This match is fixin to be a nail biter King. These two attacked each other viciously at Doubleshot, at least before RNR jumped in and settled everything down.”
RK: “Ya know JR? I actually think The Lost Boys are going to tear through those science convention chumps we have for tag-team champions. I use to laugh at them because I thought they were both mentally retarded…but they have acted different lately.”
JR: “…..”
THII: “From parts unknown, both supserstars stand at 6’10 and weigh in at 350 lbs…MIKE & MARK DANIELS…THEEEE LOOOOOST BOOOOOOOOYS!”
The Lost Boys both enter the ring from the same side and climb over the same top rope, you can see the anger in both of their eyes as they stare at the ramp-way and await the tag-team champions. As they stand there patiently, the crowd jeers turn into cheers as “No More Words” by Endeverafter hits the speakers.
THII: “And their opponents!! From Seattle Washington, standing 6’2 and weighing in at 225 lbs…SCI-FI MAN!! And his tag-team partner, from Melbourne, Florida, standing 6’4 and weighing in at 230 lbs…AUTOBOTTJAZZ, THEY ARE…YOUR X-WCW TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS…FINAL FROOOOOONTIIIIIIEEEER!!!”
Final Frontier comes out of the curtains, their X-WCW tag-team titles around both their respective waists. The two waste no time and charge down the ramp, then slide into the ring. The Lost Boys meet their smaller opponents in a brutal stare down. Before anything can happen, the referee gets into the middle and separates the two teams.
JR: “I have never seen Final Frontier look so furious King! They want revenge for that cheap attack from those large hooligans.”
RK: “Cheap attack!? Final Frontier verbally assaulted them, if they wanna talk the talk, they better be able to walk the walk JR.”
FF unfastens their belts and hand them to the referee and he holds them up. Mark taps his brother on the back and Mike leaves the ring. Final Frontier looks at each other and nod as Autobottjazz leaves the ring. When it is only the two legal men left, the referee rings the bell and the crowd starts off a “Sci-Fi” chant.
The two circle each other for about 10 seconds before an initial tie-up. Once they do, Mark easily over powers Sci-Fi Man and slams him into the mat. SFM rolls over and gets back to his feet, then the two circle each other again. They tie-up again, but the same fate happens as SFM is thrown to the matt once again. He scurries back to his feet and nods his head as Mark Daniels taunts him. The two circle each other again and tie-up for a third time, but this time SFM locks up MD’s right arm and turns it into a hammerlock.
RK: “For once the nerd does the right thing. To bad it won’t be like this for long, I heard that SFM couldn’t even lift 20 pounds so this hammerlock won’t last long.”
JR: “I beg to differ, Sci-Fi Man is pretty strong.”
Mark taps his right arm and tries to power out of it, but SFM puts his dead weight on and tries to hold it in. Mark tries the next best thing and sends elbows, but they are too high! After about the 5th try, Mark scores with an elbow to SFM’s head and the tag champ lets go. Mark turns around and sends a huge big boot to SFM’s chest, which takes the wind out of him and sends him down! Mark spots this and attempts the first pin-fall.
JR: “1…really early kick-out by Sci-Fi Man. The force from the boot was insane King! You can see the brute power that rests in these twins.”
Daniels helps SFM up and sends some clubs to the back, then locks his smaller opponent into a headlock. He stomps the mat then violently shakes SFM in the headlock and Mike Daniels comes into the ring! He runs and kicks SFM in the ribs while he is in the headlock which causes the boo’s from the crowd and the referee to restrain him.
JR: “That cheating son of a b…”
RK: “WHOA JR! Watch your mou-WHOAAA!”
JR: “GOOD GOD WHAT A KICK TO THE CHIN!!”
As the referee was pushing Mike back to his corner, AJ came in through the middle ropes, charged and hit a vicious superkick to Mike Daniels’s chin; MD lets go of SFM and drops onto his back and SFM catches his breath. AJ climbs back on the outside and SFM attempts a pinfall.
JR: “1…2…kickout by Mark Daniels! I thought it was over after that kick to the chin, Mark didn’t even see it coming.”
SFM gets to his feet and notices Mark trying to do the same thing. SFM quickly runs into the ropes, comes back, and hits a vicious running drop kick to the side of Mark Daniels head. Mark drops from all fours back onto the ground. SFM drops a knee on the back of MD’s head and Daniels turns over. Sci-Fi Man then hits the ropes and jumps onto the second one. He then executes a catapult moonsault from the middle rope onto Mark. With Mark clutching his ribs, SFM wastes no time and helps up his enemy by his head, but keeps him bent over.
SFM sends 3 vicious knees to the face of MD, the third one standing him up and dazing him. SFM hits the ropes then takes down MD with a flying forearm to the face. He kips up and pulls MD by his left leg towards SFM’s corner. As he gets closer, Mark Daniels right leg reacts and kicks SFM square in the nose. The tag team champ backs up a bit and that gives Mark enough time to get back on his own two feet. He does a quick step to SFM and picks him into a sidewalk slam position.
RK: “This guy is freakin strong JR! He is carrying SFM to his corner.”
When MD gets close enough to his corner, he turns around and executes a vicous sidewalk slam that shakes the ring. The challenger gets up and tags his anxious brother Mike Daniels into the ring. AJ chants “WATCH OUT!!” as the Daniels brothers both pick Sci-Fi Man up. The two hold him up in a military press position then launch him up in the air a little bit. As SFM goes up, the two quickly get down on one knee and extend the other. Poor SFM lands back first on both knees!
JR: “An innovative double back breaker King! That was vicious, these guys are showing me something new, and although they are conniving and destructive bastards, they are giving the tag-team champs their money’s worth.”
Mark leaves the ring and Mike Daniels continues his assault on his opponent. Mike starts to toy with SFM and tells him to get up. SFM does that and Mike scoops him up for a quick body slam and then he slams SFM to the ground. Mike Daniels laughs loudly and picks Sci-Fi Man up, then gives him the same treatment from before and scoop slams him again.
MD slowly helps SFM up again and repeats this for a third time. He then poses to the crowd and laughs as they boo him to next year. The Daniels twin does not care as he helps up a lifeless looking Sci-Fi Man to his feet again. He scoops him up for another body slam, but SFM starts to try and wiggle out. The crowd chant “SCIII-FIIII” in unison as it seems like SFM is going to reverse it. Unfortunately for the X-WCW’s resident superhero, SFM gets scoop slammed once again!
Mike Daniels picks him up again, looking as cocky and confident as ever scoops him up for another body slam. SFM starts to wiggle out of it again though.
JR: “Mike is getting to cocky now King, he is giving Sci-Fi a chance to get out of this and doesn’t even know it.”
RK: “You fool, slam him now before he escapes!”
Mike holds him up and puts him on his shoulder to display his strength, he then holds SFM with one hand. This does not work out for him though because SFM wiggles free and lands behind him. SFM staggers back a bit and Mike tries a spinning elbow attack. SFM ducks it and notices that Mike spun all the way around and has his back facing SFM. Sci-fi takes a page out of a certain frizzled hair apple eating Puerto Rican and takes MD down with a back stabber!
Both superstars are stunned on the mat as the crowd start an “AJ” chant. SFM comes to and crawls to his corner, while Mike rolls around and holds his back. SFM gets to his corner and tags in Autobot Jazz, which causes the crowd to erupt. SFM rolls under the bottom rope and onto the floor as AJ hops over the top rope, runs and hits a raising knee on Mark Daniels who is on the ring apron and knocks him off.
AJ turns around and spots Mike getting back on his feet, but he is holding his back. AJ taunts him and Mike charges him. AJ drops and takes down the challenger with a drop-toe-hold and Mike’s face bounces off of the mat. AJ gets up to his feet the same time Mike does, but the challenger attacks again with no provocation. AJ smirks and takes him down with a quick arm drag. Mike gets back up and gets another one. Mike gets back up and charges AJ again, this time though; the champ leapfrogs the 6’10 wrestler.
JR: “Mike hits the ropes and comes back into a standing drop kick!”
RK: “Did you see the air AJ got on that one JR?”
JR: “He almost touched the Heavens bah gawd.”
AJ wastes no time and helps his opponent to his feet, but Mike pushes AJ off of him. He attempts a haymaker, but AJ ducks it and sends 2 right hands to Mike’s face. AJ then gets behind him and jumps on his back to lock in a sleeper hold. The giant challenger tries to violently shake AJ off of his back, but AJ holds on tighter.
You can see Mike’s eyes turning red as he drops to one knee. Meanwhile, SFM looks recovered from the beating he took from the Daniels brothers as he is seen on the apron cheering his tag-team partner on. The crowd gets into it more as Mike drops down to all fours. All of a sudden, Mike gets a second wind and gets back on both feet. He then charges into Final Frontiers corner and AJ lets go. Mike then walks into a hard punch to the side of his temple from Sci-Fi Man. It stuns him long enough for AJ to climb to the top turnbuckle.
JR: “Autobot jazz is going to fly King!”
RK: “A flipping neckbreaker! How innovative from somebody so bland.”
AJ mounts Mike and sends some vicious blows to the head. He then helps him up and hits him with his Energon Drainer finisher! He attempts the final pinfall.
JR: “1…2..thr-NO it is broken up by Mark Daniels!”
As Mark gets back up, SFM jumps onto the top rope and takes his opponent down with a flying hurracarana! The crowd cheers loudly as the referee gets to them and tries to bring them back to their respective corners. Meanwhile, while the referee has his back turned, AJ starts to help Mike Daniels to his feet, but the big guy sends an uppercut right to AJ’s money maker.
JR: “NO, THAT CHEAP TACTIC! DON’T LET IT END LIKE THIS!”
RK: “HA, HIS ENERGON IS REALLY DRANING NOW JR!”
Mike helps his opponent up and sits him on the top turnbuckle. He then climbs to the top and takes AJ out with a frankensteiner! Mike attempts a pinfall.
RK: “YOU STUPID REF, PAY ATTENTION!!”
Mike awaits a pinfall count, but no one is doing so. He turns around and sees him trying to restrain Mark and SFM. Mike charges and hits SFM with a big boot square in the back of the head, and it looks like he is knocked out cold. The referee tries to grab Mike to leave SFM alone, but Mike lightly pushes the referee off of him. He starts to drag the superhero to Mark, but the ref gets his in face again. This time though, he starts to distract him.
Mark reaches SFM and helps him up while he is on the apron. He then suplexes the already ko’d SFM out of the ring!
JR: “This is now a 2 on 1 match-up King, it isn’t looking good for Final Frontier.”
RK: “Finally, those boring scrubs will lose the titles!”
Mike finally stops and rushes to AJ who is still down and attempts another pinfall, this time with the refs attention.
RK: “1…2…New cham-NO! IMPOSSIBLE!”
JR: “AJ KICKED OUT!”
To his dismay Mike looks at AJ and has no idea what to do. He grabs AJ up by his head, but AJ fights back with punches to the ribs. After about the 7th one, Mike lets go. AJ continues throwing punches; the crowd gets behind him as he fights Mike off. After he stuns him, he kicks Mike and DDT’s him! AJ gets back up and side steps an incoming shoulder block from Mark, he then turns MD around and sets him up with a stasis lock. The champ displays his strength as he connects with it!
Next, he turns around and spots Mike recovering. He helps him up and tries to set him up as well, but Mike never allows it to happen and he haymakers the hell out of AJ, taking them both down. Mike gets back up and helps revive his twin from the Stasis Lock. Mark looks a little woozy, but he seems like he is ok. The Daniels brothers help AJ up and connect with a double choke slam. The referee screams at Mark to leave the ring and he does.
Mike then decides to help AJ up and brings him to the turnbuckle again. The challenger climbs onto the top and executes a perfect frankenstiener again! Only this time, he does not attempt a pinfall. Mike heads to his corner and tags in his brother Mark.
JR: “This does not look good for AJ.”
RK: “Heh, and his stupid partner is knocked out. I guess superman got kryptonite stuck up his nose huh JR? hahahahahaha.”
Mark comes in and puts AJ on his shoulders, then sets him up on another turnbuckle. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits him with another frankenstiener. With that one, he attempts a pinfall.
JR: “Bah Gawd, two frankenstieners! Here is the pin!”
RK: “1...2…3, its over! New champions, finally!”
JR: “Damnit, after all of their cheating, they finally did it. I hope someone knocks their blocks off sooner rather than later!”
RK: “That’s no way to treat the tag-team champs!”
“Feed My Frakenstien” hits the speakers as Terri makes the announcement.
THII: “The winners and NEW X-WCW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE LOST BOYS!”
Mike gets into the ring and hugs his brother as the referee gives them their belts. The two raise them in the air to pure boo’s. They smirk and laugh as the EMT’s come to help SFM.
JR: “This was a brutal match, and in the end justice was NOT served at all.”
RK: “Oh boohoo JR, cry me a river. The best team won and you know it.”
JR: “Whatever…that is not true at all. They cheated to get those damn belts.”
RK: “So, they never got caught.”
The new champs leave the ring and flaunt their titles at the fans closest to them as they head up the ramp-way.
JR: “Well guys, this pay-per-view is only heating up. More action coming your way.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
X-WCW comes back from the commercial break and we pan over to the announce table with JR and RK.
JR: “Welcome back to the 100th show of the X-WCW: Ground Zero IV!!! Up next is the Hell in a Cell match for the IC title…”
Suddenly “Superstar” by Saliva plays and Otacon walks down the ramp and the fans cheer wildly for him!
JR: “It’s Otacon! We haven’t seen him in months!”
RK: “He’s back and looks in great shape!”
Terri hands Otacon her microphone as the fans chant “Welcome Back!” at the former two-time X-WCW Champion!
OC: “Thank you for that warm welcome! I know I’m not scheduled to be here tonight but I wanted to be a part of this company’s anniversary celebration because of the wonderful…”
Before Otacon can finish his speech “Fury of the Storm” by Shadows Fall plays and Tony Bonito, who has a microphone in hand and he speaks in a bad English accent.
TB: “Look here, it’s the guy whose bloody arse I’ve kicked so many times that I’ve lost count is back and wants to celebrate his return. Look here guv, while you were back in England watching soccer…I mean football, wanking off to BBC shows, sipping tea, and shagging sheep, I’ve been doing your job! Kicking arse and a lot of taking a lot of bloody names! Now while you talk of making people bleed, me on the other hand I just make them bleed! Now I’m going to ask you this once get the hell out of my ring before I come down there and kick your bloody arse all over again!”
JR: “We apologize to our British fans for Bonito’s horrible British accent.”
RK: “I thought it was quite good.”
Otacon just stares at Tony Bonito for a few seconds.
OC: “You want me to leave? How about you come in here and make me…guv?”
Bonito drops his microphone and is about to enter the ring when X-WCW security comes and stops him.
Otacon screams into his microphone
OC: “What’s the matter Bonito? Worried about Team X-S kicking your ass all over Indianapolis? Well you should be because I know who they are and you already know that I don’t like you well these two guys hate you with a passion! Well tonight your ass is theirs, but starting tomorrow it’s mine! See you around guv!”
Otacon leaves the ring and walks up the ramp as X-WCW security hold Tony Bonito back. After Otacon and Bonito, leave the dreaded Cell is lowered around the ring as we cut to commercials.
We see the last moments of the Royal Bash. Inside the ring, we see Eamon X, D-Extreme and BLASTER. Eamon X slowly gets in the ring as D-Ex is up. D-Extreme and Eamon X shake hands before they start exchanging punches nearby the ropes. D-Extreme smacks Eamon hard with a knee to the gut and lines him up for a powerbomb. He lifts him and directs him towards the edge of the ring. Eamon X somehow gets out of his grasps and lands infront of him. Eamon X hits a forearm on the head of D-Ex who spins around and realizes BLASTER is up and charges at both men. Before Eamon can see BLASTER coming, or D-Ex reacting, BLASTER clotheslines BOTH Eamon and D-Ex over the ropes, eliminating both men.
TH: “D-Extreme and Eamon X have been eliminated!”
The bell rings and BLASTER’s music plays through the speakers. BLASTER collapses in the ring and lies there for a while. He gets helped up by the referee who raises his hand.
TH: “THE WINNER OF THE 2004 X-WCW ROYAL BASH…BLASTER!!!”
The video fades as we see BLASTER celebrate his win inside the X-WCW ring.
X-WCW Intercontinental Championship
Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match
Joe Goldstone vs. The Real American vs. Seith Helloct (c)
JR: “Welcome back to the 100th show of the X-WCW, this is Ground Zero IV!!!”
RK: “Right now we will have the triple threat match for the X-WCW Intercontinental champion, JR. Well you also know that it’s inside HELL IN A CELL!”
JR: “Let’s take you back ladies and gentlemen to how this all transpired.”
***
Starrcade: Revolution…
The video package begins to play and we see the referee raising the IC title in the air
THII: “The following match is the finals of the 2008 Lord of the Ring Tournament and is a Last Man Standing Match for the vacant X-WCW Intercontinental Championship”
While THII’s voice is heard, we see the separate clips of Joe Goldstone and Rocky Davis’ entrances towards the ring.
JR: “Goldstone has destroyed every superstar he faced in the tournament and with his hatred of Rocky Davis CEO John Crook made this a Last Man Standing Match.”
RK: “Goldstone defeated Davis in a Street Fight. Davis has been hell-bent on avenging that loss!”
We see both men in the ring staring down on one another before we see highlights from their last man standing match. The videopackage shows a slow motion clip of Rocky Davis already recovered before he gets speared off his boots by Goldstone.
RK: “Told you he should have stayed down. Damn it.”
We then see the Lost Boys hop onto the ring and one of them deliver a taser shot on Joe Goldstone. Goldstone falls down. The clip skips to the part where the referee has counted 10 on Goldstone and gives RA the victory.
RK: “Well this marks a black day for sports entertainment, JR. Of all the people, it had to be Real American to win the IC title.”
The clip fades as RA gets the IC title from the Lost Boys and all three celebrate his win. We come back with Rock Davis standing over inside an empty gym while the IC title is draped around his shoulder. He looks at it and then smirks at the camera while he pats the belt. Just then, we hear his voice over.
RA V.O.: “I am, Rocky Davis, your Intercontinental champion and LOTR winner…”
We see clips of RA posing with the belt in various ringside areas while we hear a JR voice over.
JR V.O.: “Indeed, the Intercontinental Champ is not shy in showing how proud he is in being the said champ.”
The video fades and we see Joe Goldstone walking down the aisle, but from behind he is attacked by Rocky Davis
JR: “Bah gawd! Rocky Davis just blindsided Joe Goldstone from behind!”
RK: “That shot with the IC title on the back of JG’s head must have took the steam right outta him.”
RA stomps down on JG as the crowd boos in protest. Both men brawl until a horde of referees enter ringside and restrain both RA and JG.
JR: “You said it, Goldstone has to return to the ring so we can start this matc-OH GOODNESS!”
JG and RA both break off from their restraints and tackle each other. Both men continue to brawl onto the rampway until they reach the guard rail. Goldstone picks up RA and tosses him over the guard rail. With RA inserted into the crowd, JG enters the crowd as well.
RK: “It’s a pier 6 brawl!!”
Doubleshot 17…
The video fades as we see both men brawl in the crowd. The video comes back again with He lifts Seith Helloct to a vertical base before he sets him up for the crucifix powerbomb. However, Rocky Davis makes a pause as he notices someone on the stage.
JR: “KING! Look, it’s Joe Goldstone! He is watching this entire thing unfold on the stage.”
RK: “RA does not like this one bit. He wants Goldstone out of the ringside or something right now.”
RA glares at Joe Goldstone before he lifts Seith up for the crucifix powerbomb. However, Seith wriggles free from RA’s move and lands behind him. Soon enough he goes for a backslide pin on an unsuspecting RA. The referee goes to count.
RK: “He got a backslide on RA! 1-2-3! OH MY GOODNESS SEITH JUST WON!!!”
JR: “Thanks to the distraction by one Joe Goldstone, Seith Helloct not only steals the victory but he stole the match from RA! This is one interesting development indeed!”
The bell rings and Seith Helloct gets his hand raised in victory. On the stage we see Joe Goldstone applauding Seith’s win.
THII: “The winner and NEW X-WCW Intercontinental Champion: SEITH HELLOCT!!!”
The video skips to JG talking with a mic
JG: “Bravo. Good one Seith, but as I said before I’m gunning that IC title no matter WHO is holding it by the time Ground Zero IV comes along. So Seith, I challenge you for that title…IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH!!!”
The fans pop and they pop louder once Seith nods his head in agreement inside the ring.
JR: “A STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AT GROUND ZERO IV!!! King, that is going to be a very extreme outing for both men if I do say so myself.”
Rocky Davis shakes his head in disapproval and grabs a nearby mic.
RA: “NO! THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN!”
Goldstone and Seith look towards RA’s direction. The former champion points to himself with emphasis as he starts to explain.
RA: “As the former IC champ, I have the right to have a rematch..cause I have a rematch clause!”
RA grins proudly and the fans boo him for the confident smirk that the just did.
RA: “So in case I would have lost tonight, and lucky for Seith I did, I asked John Crook a few minutes ago and approved that my rematch at Ground Zero IV will be in a HELL IN A CELL MATCH!!!”
RK: “HELL IN A CELL?! Is he joking us JR?!”
JR: “With that serious look on his face, King, I am not sure.”
We see a backstage video of John Crook.
JC: “I’ve decided the following to take place at Ground Zero. At Ground Zero IV, Rocky Davis WILL get his rematch. In fact it will be Seith Helloct defending the IC title against “Real American” Rocky Davis AND Joe Goldstone in a HELL IN A CELL match. That way, all three men will be happy. Any more questions Cole? I’m busy preparing for my match if you do not know.”
We see shots of the hell in a cell structure while we hear JR’s voice over.
JR: “As you have seen folks, the IC title will be defended by Seith against both Joe Goldsotne and Rocky Davis in a hell in a cell match. So King we will have THREE men inside that demonic structure.”
The video then shows Seith Helloct standing behind an abandoned hangar. Slowly, he lifts up the X-WCW IC title into the air and looks at it while we hear his voice over.
SH V.O.: “Goldstone, Davis, on Ground Zero, I will give both of you HELL in that cell and prove to all why I am the Intercontinental champion.”
The clip shifts to Rocky Davis, who seems to be inside the hangar. He is looking menacingly onto the camera before we hear him as well.
RA V.O.: “Ground Zero, will be the Ground Zero for both Seith Helloct and Joe Goldstone. I will get back what is mine.”
He grits his teeth before the scene shifts to Joe Goldstone doing some punches and kicks in the air somewhere inside the empty hangar while we hear his voice over.
JG V.O.: “Hell in a cell, Joe Goldstone against two other competitors. The odds of me winning, huge, the odds of them surviving…slim to none.”
The video shifts to Joe Goldstone running towards RA and spearing him off his feet. We then see a shot of Seith Helloct hitting a DDT on Goldstone. The video fades after we see a clip of RA hitting Goldstone over the head with a steel chair.
JR V.O.: “THREE MEN, ONE CELL, WHO WILL GET OUT OF THERE WITH THE TITLE?!”
The video fades as we see Seith holding the IC title high in the air.
***
THII: “The following match is a Triple Threat Match, set for one fall and his for the X-WCW Intercontinental Championship First challenger number one from parts unknown Joe Goldstone!”
“Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed plays and Goldstone comes down. He gets cheered by the fans as he enters the Cell.
JR: “Goldstone was the one who called for this triple threat match to be contested inside Hell in a Cell.”
RK: “I think Goldstone is obsessed with Rocky Davis that is all he talks about anymore.”
JR: “I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s obsessed, but Goldstone is determined to become the X-WCW Intercontinental Champion.”
THII: “And challenger number two representing Carnage, Inc. being accompanied by Aries he’s ‘The Real American’ Rocky Davis!”
“Cocky” by Kid Rock plays and Rocky Davis comes down. The fans boo them as they make their way down the ramp and Aries holds the Cell door open for her man.
JR: “Do you think that Rocky Davis knows what he’s gotten himself into?”
RK: “I think he’s out to regain the X-WCW IC title belt and add it to the X-WCW Tag Team Championships that The Lost Boys won earlier tonight.”
THII: “And from Pensacola, Florida he’s the current and reigning X-WCW Intercontinental Champion Seith Helloct!”
“The Crows” by Dark Lotus plays and Seith Helloct comes down. Helloct comes down to a chorus of boos and when he reaches the door to the Cell he stares at it and walks in.
JR: “This is actually the second time that Helloct has held the X-WCW IC title. He first held it during our second House Wars Tour called Generation Next and he lost it on the final show of that tour in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match.”
RK: “But let remember that the two challengers he faced was Grandmaster E and Christopher Back. In that HSW match he was in there with two guys that knew how to use The Cell to their advantage, this time he’s facing two guys that to my knowledge have never been in or won a Hell in a Cell match.”
The door is closed and padlocked and the three men face each other and the referee signals for the bell and the match begins. Helloct and Goldstone start double teaming Davis. The two them punch and kick him into a corner Helloct holds his boot to Davis’ throat and he moves out of the way as Goldstone charges forward and he kicks Davis in the face! Goldstone pulls Davis up and Powerslams him in the center of the ring, while Seith is looking for weapons under the ring. He pulls out a trashcan, a steel chair, a table, a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire, a street sign, a pair of kendo sticks, and a ladder!
RK: “Good God! He’s in one of the most dangerous matches in the X-WCW and he’s bringing weapons into the match?! Helloct is out of his mind!”
Goldstone sees Helloct trying to slide the ladder under the bottom rope and he quickly nails the ladder and Helloct with a Baseball-slide-dropkick that sends Helloct back-first into the side of the Cell. This move allows enough for Davis to get back to his feet and he nails Goldstone with a Low Blow and he quickly picks up the trashcan and smashes it over Goldstone’s head. Davis then drapes Goldstone over the bottom rope, where Helloct is slowly getting back to his feet, Davis then picks up the barbed wire 2x4 and jabs it into Joe Goldstone’s forehead, busting him open. Davis seeing the blood starting to pour out of Goldstone’s head drops the 2x4 and starts setting up the table in the center of the ring. Helloct quickly slides in the ring and goes for a pin but Davis sees him and quickly breaks it up.
JR: “Helloct almost won it, if Davis hadn’t broken it up.”
RK: “Remember folks this isn’t an elimination match, the first pin or submission wins it.”
Davis then grabs Helloct’s head and tosses him into the opposite side top turnbuckle and he climbs to second rope and starts reigning down blows to the top of Helloct’s head. Goldstone is back up to his feet and after wiping the blood out of his eyes he picks up a kendo stick and quickly nails Davis in the back with it! Stunned by Goldstone’s Kendo stick shot, Davis grabs the top rope for balance and Goldstone quickly gets up to the second rope and places the Kendo stick across Davis’ neck and drops him a Russian Leg Drop from the second rope. Goldstone drapes an arm over him and only gets a two count before Helloct breaks up the pin. Helloct kicks both men and then quickly slides outside to retrieve the ladder still on the floor while Goldstone and Davis are both down in the ring. Helloct starts climbing up the ladder.
JR: “What is Helloct doing? He should be going for a pin!”
RK: “I think there is a pin or something that releases a panel of the roof of the Cell.”
He gets to the top of the ladder and starts pulling on a ceiling panel of the Cell and he finally pulls the panel down.
RK: “See? I told you!”
Helloct climbs down the ladder and tosses Joe Goldstone out of the ring then he picks up Davis by the hair and sets him for a Powerbomb. Then in a fit of rage Davis is able to reverse the Powerbomb attempt into a Back-Body-Drop on Helloct. Helloct quickly gets back up to his feet and Davis goes for a Close line but Helloct ducks it and nails Davis with a Superkick! Davis falls into the turnbuckle and is being held up by the ring ropes and Helloct quickly picks up a nearby Kendo stick and he hits with so hard he breaks the Kendo stick into pieces.
JR: “What a shot! He shattered that Kendo stick!”
Helloct grabs the stunned Davis and drops him with an Even Flow DDT and he goes for a pin attempt!
RK: “Even Flow DDT! It’s all over!”
JR: “One...two…I don’t believe it! Davis kicks out at the two-count!”
Helloct is furious at the referee and he picks up Davis and throws him out the ring and quickly follows him to the ring floor and he slams Davis into the side of the Cell and he props Davis by the Cell’s door and he then picks up the ring steps and using them as a battering ram he charges at Davis. Davis side-steps and Helloct breaks through the door and lands face first on the steps.
JR: “Davis is either very skilled or very lucky!”
RK: “Can’t he be both?”
Davis getting back up to his feet and he sees Seith Helloct lying on the floor and he gets up and he picks up Helloct and throws him into the announcer’s table.
JR: “Look out Randal!”
RK: “I’m outta of here!”
Davis places Helloct on the table and then starts climbing up the side of the Cell! When Davis is about half way up the Cell, Helloct is able to roll off the table and he follows Davis up the side of the Cell.
JR: “That was a close one! Are you all alright there Randal?”
RK: “I’m fine, but it looks like Davis is exhausted when he got to top of the Cell! “
JR: “Considering all the hell he’s been through anybody would be tied too!”
By the time Helloct is up there too, Davis is just starting to get back up to his feet and Helloct kicks him in the gut and sets him up for a Powerbomb but again Davis is able to Back-Body-Drop him and Helloct crashes through the roof of the Cell and smashes through the table set up in the ring!
JR: “OH MY GOD! HE’S BROKEN IN HALF!!”
RK: “HE’S NOT MOVING AND LOOK GOLDSTONE IS CLIMBING THE LADDER!”
As Helloct falls Joe Goldstone has gotten back up and is climbing up the ladder and by the time he’s able to get up onto the roof and he sees Davis celebrating and Goldstone grabs him and he flings him off the roof of the Cell and Davis crashes through the announcer’s table!
JR: “LOOK OUT RANDAL!”
RK: “HUN?”
Goldstone walks back to wear the ladder is still standing and he climbs back down into the Cell. He picks up Helloct and places him onto the top rope and he then picks him up and drops him with a Muscle Buster and he goes for pin and he gets a three count!
THII: “The winner of the match and new X-WCW Intercontinental Champion Joe Goldstone!”
As Goldstone is handed the X-WCW IC title belt suddenly the Lost Boys and Aries hit the ring and attack him! Goldstone tries to fight back but the numbers are too great and Aries slides out of the ring and pulls out a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire and she tosses it into the ring. Suddenly Nightmare, Rayne Bloodstone and The Final Frontier run down and they start fighting with Carnage, Inc! Nightmare tosses Mark Daniels out of the ring and he nails Mike Daniels in the back of the head with the X-WCW TV title belt. Autobot Jazz and Sci-Fi Man grab them and Jazz slams Mark into the ring post and Sci-Fi Man grabs the barbed wire steel chair and nails Mike Daniels in the head with it and he then slides the chair into the ring! As Nightmare tries to help Goldstone up, Aries tries to hit with a Low Blow from Behind but she’s stopped by Rayne Bloodstone who kicks her in the gut and Powerbombs her onto the barbed wire steel chair!
The Final Frontier slide back into the ring after making sure that the Lost Boys are out cold to help Goldstone back up to his feet and Nightmare picks up the X-WCW IC title belt and hands it to Goldstone, after a few seconds he accepts the belt and shakes hands with Nightmare, and then Goldstone climbs to the middle rope and he holds the X-WCW IC title belt and Nightmare goes to the other side and does the same, and as The Final Frontier hoist Rayne Bloodstone on their shoulders and they celebrate in the ring.
JR: “OK we’re back on the air and it looks like we could have a new faction!”
RK: “They pretty much have destroyed Carnage, Inc.!”
Then the lights go out in the Conseco Fieldhouse and when the lights come back on Judge Death is standing in the center of the ring holding another barbed wire steel chair!
JR: “Judge Death is back!”
RK: “Look what he has in his hand a barbed wire steel chair!”
He nails Nightmare in the back of the head with it, and Goldstone jumps down to attack him as The Final Frontier and Rayne look on in complete and total shock! Judge Death jabs Goldstone in the gut with the chair and he quickly face jams Goldstone on the chair and picks up the X-WCW IC and TV title belts and the lights go out and Judge Death then disappears again.
Finally after all the chaos EMTs come down and help out all the injured and the ring crew bring out a new table for James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “What a war!”
RK: “No kidding!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as the EMTs continue to show up at ringside.
Backstage
Ground Zero IV comes from the commercial break and we see Cole Ryan beside “The Renegade” Ron Michaels.
CR: “Welcome back everybody to the 100th show of the X-WCW, GROUND ZERO IV! Right now we have the revolution’s very own RENEGADE! Renegade, tonight is your chance to reclaim your Xtreme title against Justin Sane. What are your thoughts going into this matchup?”
TRRM: “It’s pretty simple Cole. My strategy for this match is to basically destroy and disfigure Sane so badly that I’d win that belt yet again. Let’s face it, I’m the best at what I do and just like my fellow Revolution members, I dominate the competition here in the X-WCW.”
We hear someone clapping in the background. The claps grow louder as the figure enters the scene and reveals himself to be Nightmare. Nightmare has the X-WCW Television title across his shoulder and he smirks at the sight of TRRM.
NM: “Bravo, Ronny boy. What in the seven hells do you think you can do to get a belt aside from getting help from your Revolution buddies? I can answer that, you can’t! Good luck in trying to win, because even if I hate Sane’s guts..I hate yours even more.”
Nightmare leaves the scene as we go back to ringside.
We see the scaffold match between D-Extreme and Cyberstrike.
JR: “The scaffold has reached its maximum height thirty-five feet in the air. Now all these guys have to is throw the other off into the barbed wire net!”
A bloody Cyberstrike picks up a bloody D-Extreme and nails him with a Crackdown on the scaffold! Then picks up D-Extreme and sets him up for a powerbomb off the scaffold!” Then suddenly the all the lights go out in the arena!
JR: “Now what?”
The lights come on a third figure in long over coat and fedora hat is standing on the scaffold with Cyberstrike and D-Extreme!
JR: “Who is that? He got Cyberstrike by the back of the head and nails him with a Crackdown! D-Extreme falls on he scaffold and begins to get his feet! As this person has Cyberstrike by the throat! What the hell? He got D-Extreme by the throat too! OH MY GOD HE JUST CHOKESLAMED BOTH OF THEM OFF THE SCAFFOLD AND RIGHT INTO THE BARBED WIRE NET! WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?!”
The referee calls for the bell
TH: The referee has ruled this match a draw!
The figure takes off his fedora and reveals who he is!
JR: “HOLY SHIT IT’S WRECK-TRON!!! BUT WHY DID HE CHOKESLAM BOTH OF THEM? HIS HATRED OF CYBERSTRIKE IS WELL DOCUMENTED!! BUT WHY DID HE CHOKESLAM D-EXTREME?!”
The lights go out and when they come back on Wreck-Tron has vanished from the scaffold.
EMTS rush to get Cyberstrike and D-Extreme out of the barbed wire as the two men are loaded on stretchers D-Extreme makes an “X” sign with arms and Cyberstrike makes the two sweet sign to the crowd! The fans give them both a standing ovation!
JR: “Love them or hate them these two gave you everything they had and then some. If they didn’t give you folks at home
your money’s worth then you need some serious help!”
The video fades as we see the EMTs send both away from ringside.
X-WCW Xtreme Championship
Xtreme Match
The Renegade Ron Michaels vs. Justin Sane (c)
JR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV, the next match up tonight is a match that is truly ready for the history books. “The Renegade” Ron Michaels has been a previous X-treme Title holder, until Justin Sane won it back from him. Tonight, the two men clash to see who DESERVES to be the champion.”
RK: “That's right James, and this match is brought to you by Right Guard, for Extreme Wetness Protection, try Right Guard!!”
JR: “Umm...commercials aren't up yet.”
RK: “Just shut up, I need some extra money.”
JR: “Anyway folks, let’s see how this whole thing started out.”
***
Starrcade: Revolution…
The video package plays over and we see “The Renegade” Ron Michaels wearing the X-WCW Xtreme Championship belt around his waist proudly. Just then, the voice over of Terri Hotbody is heard.
THII V.O.: “Ladies & gentlemen, the following contest is for the X-WCW Xtreme championship! It will be fought under the newly created Xtreme rules.”
We see a shot of Justin Sane entering the ringside area as well before we get a clip of Nightmare entering the ringside area seconds later. Generic heavy metal music is heard as we see the following clips of the match.
- Sane and TRRM delivering a 3D on Nightmare on the crowd divider
- The Renegade accidentally hitting a fan from the crowd area with a steel chair
- TRRM slapping on the dragon sleeper on Sane
- Sane delivering a double drop toe hold on TRRM who falls face first onto the steel steps
- Nightmare hitting the ankle of TRRM with the chair and steel steps
We then hear the following voice over as we see a clip of Justin Sane holding TRRM in an ankle lock and would soon tap out.
JR: “THE RENEGADE RON MICHAELS HAS TAPPED OUT! NEW X-WCW XTREME CHAMPION, NEW XTREME CHAMPION. ENTER THE INSANE ERA OF JUSTIN SANE!”
RK: “THAT STUNTMAN PRICK CHEATED!”
We see a clip of Justin Sane holding the Xtreme title in the air after his victory. The video fades to black before it comes back to show the following words.
Doubleshot #17…
We see the entrances of CJ Baller, Nightmare, and The Renegade as we hear THII’s voice over.
THII:” The following is a triple threat match to determine the number one contender for the X-WCW Xtreme Championship!”
The video package shows the following parts of the match:
- NM hitting a spinning back kick on CJ Baller
- CJ Baller hitting a spinebuster on NM
- Nightmare hitting The fear
JR: “THE FEAR!!! The triple jump moonsault has been delivered by Nightmare on CJ Baller and he hooks the leg for the pin. 1-2-and oh my…Nightmare just got pulled out of the ring by…MIKE MAGNUS?!”
The video shows Magnus and Nightmare brawling out of the ring while TRRM putting on his submission move on the downed CJ Baller.
THII: “The winner and the number one contender for the X-WCW Xtreme Title…”THE RENEGADE” RON MICHAELS!!!”
The video package shows the referee raising TRRM’s hand before we cut to some footage of “The Renegade” Ron Michaels putting on some wrapping tape on his fists before he faces the camera.
TRRM V.O.: “On Ground Zero, I will take back what is mine, the X-WCW Xtreme title.”
We see a clip of Justin Sane posing on top of the turnbuckle with the belt raised by his hand.
TRRM V.O.: “The only reason, Sane, as to why you are still the champion is simple: You got lucky. When we meet, face to face in that ring, your luck will run out.”
The video fades momentarily as we see TRRM grinning at the camera. We go back and this time we see Justin Sane bouncing up and down as he is facing the opposite direction. The background of where he is located seemingly is a hallway of some random arena while we hear his voice over this time.
JS V.O.: “Ground Zero IV, Sane vs Renegade, it’s on.”
We see a video clip of TRRM walking down the aisle before it shifts into Justin Sane jogging down the rampway and onto the wrestling ring.
JS V.O.: “Ron Michaels, there’s a reason why I’m still the Xtreme champion and you are not. On Ground Zero IV, you’d figure out why.”
The video fades with a shot of Justin Sane delivering a senton splash on a random opponent.
***
“Hurt” by Johnny Cash plays through the PA as TRRM slowly walks from the entrance way, licking his lips as he raises his arms above his head before signaling the title around his waist.
THII: “This next match is scheduled for one fall, and is an XTREME RULES MATCH for the X-TREME TITLE!! Introducing First!! From Out West, The Renegade, RON MICHAELS!!”
JR: “Oh Mama, I can hear you cryin' you're so scared and all alone....”
RK: “What in the hell are you singing”
JR: “Renegade. What? Am I not allowed anymore?”
RK: “Just do your damn job. “
JR: “Anyways, The Renegade looks ready to go, his eyes fierce, his walk smooth and his eyes staring down into the ring.”
Hurt slowly fades from the PA as “Two Weeks” hits the PA, Justin runs from the entrance ramp, raising the title and slapping his chest, grinning to the crowd as he grins, raising his arms up in victory as he stares at TRRM, running a thumb over his throat.
THII: “And the champion, Standing at 5 foot 10, and weighing in at One hundred and seventy pounds. He is “The Insane One”, Justin SANE!!!”
The crowd pops as Justin grins, holding up the title before running down the ramp, holding the title and sliding into the ring, turning and flipping up, chuckling to TRRM as TRRM now just shakes his head, the smirk apparent on his face.
JR: “This match is going to be EXPLOSIVE!!”
THII: “The rules to this match are simple, you win by either getting your opponent inside the ring to submit, or by forcing a 10 count outside of the ring. No weapons are allowed in the ring, however they will be allowed to be used outside of the ring.”
RK: Ok, this match just became lame.
JR: “Oh c’mon now King! You knew this already from watching past Xtreme matches.”
RK: “I know…please, kill me now. PLEASE!!!”
The bell sounds off to start the match and both men near the center of the ring. Sane tries to lock up to TRRM, but The Renegade delivers a number of hard kicks to the side of his opponent that prevents him to get near. TRRM charges into Sane, only to get tripped by a single leg takedown. Sane floats over into a side headlock on his opponent but TRRM quickly gets into a leg scissors on his opponent’s head. Sane kicks out of the leg scissors headlock and both men get to a vertical base on the ring mat. Sane charges at TRRM but is taken down by a quick overhead Japanese armdrag. Ron Michaels clamps down on one of Sane’s arms as JS is getting to his feet.
JR: “The Renegade gets control in the early going and he has his opponent on that hammerlock.”
RK: “he must be clamping down on Sane’s arm and shoulder area right now. Well…this seems like a standard match that I can get into..until the stupid quirks such as you CANNOT use a weapon inside the ring but you can do so OUTSIDE the ring…makes me go into despair on how quickly the X-WCW match types have degenerated over the years.”
JR: “When the fans or myself would like to hear or read that, King, please just shut up and post it on your myspace blog or something instead. We need to call this match right now remember?”
RK: “WHAT? Can’t I atleast get my freedom of speech across these people while we call this match?”
JR: “I am all for it but still, we have a duty to call this match.”
While JR and RK were bickering Justin Sane reverses the hammer lock and then drives his elbow into the arm of TRRM. Sane quickly bounces off the ropes and takes down TRRM with a dropkick. TRRM gets to his feet and he is taken down by another dropkick. Sane picks up TRRM, but The Renegade surprises Sane and everyone as he does a quick grab on Sane and takes him down with a fisherman’s suplex.
JR: “SEE? Look what we missed on calling, King! The Renegade Ron Michaels with the fisherman’s suplex takes Sane down the mat!”
Sane favors his back and groans in pain while TRRM sees the opportunity to deliver a kick to the back of his opponent. Sane groans so more, and even adds a little grunt on it. TRRM picks him up and delivers some strong clubs to the back of his opponent before he lifts him up on his shoulders and sends him down with a back breaker. Sane crumples down the mat and seems to be in agony while TRRM goes over him and locks him up in a Mexican surfboard hold.
JR: “The Renegade Ron Michaels has his opponent locked into that Mexican surfboard submission maneuver, King.”
RK: “Yeah, he is pulling both Sane’s arm and uses Sane’s back like it’s a surfboard or something. If Sane doesn’t do something like submit, it’s gonna be two things really. First, his shoulders might pop out of their sockets or maybe his back would be broken in half.”
Sane screams in pain while we could hear Ron Michaels yell for Sane to give up. Almost a minute goes by but Sane is not quitting just yet. After a few more seconds, TRRM furiously lets go of the hold and picks up Justin Sane. However, Sane has some fight left in him as he delivers a hard chop to the chest of TRRM and backs him into the nearby ropes. There, Sane continues to deliver some chops before he tries to turn around and run through the opposite ropes. It would be a huge mistake as TRRM would grab Sane by the hair and slam him down the mat.
RK: “Its times like these that Sane wishes he had shorter hair. Someone give this guy a haircut would you.”
TRRM hauls Sane up and whips him across the ropes. Sane leapfrogs over Ron Michaels before he bounces off the ropes and takes TRRM down with a running bulldog facecrusher. Sane waits for TRRM to get up before he stuns him with a hard forearm smash and then he takes down TRRM with a tornado DDT. TRRM slumps down and Sane slides to the outside. He pulls out a chair from the apron and gets into the ring. He tries to attack TRRM with a chair, but the referee restrains him.
RK: “Someone is forgetting the very complicated match here, JR. You can use weapons..OUTSIDE the ring. Man, I bet Ron Michaels was high when he created these rules. That, or he expected his opponents to do such things.”
Sane grumbles to himself as he tosses the chair back to the outside of the ring. He turns around and gets a boot to the gut by a recovered TRRM. He lifts Sane up on his shoulders and takes him down with a knee to the stomach! Sane holds his abdominal region as he rolls to the outside of the ring. TRRM grins at the sight of the fallen Justin Sane before he follows him to the outside. He picks up Sane, who delivers some stiff shots to the gut of TRRM. Justin Sane is let go and Sane clocks TRRM with a hard haymaker. TRRM is dazed as Sane picks up the steel chair from earlier and delivers a powerful smack over the head of his opponent. TRRM crumples down and Sane stands back as the referee starts to count.
JR: “The referee has begun the count: 1…2…3…4..Renegade is getting to his feet …and he’s up.”
TRRM barely gets to his feet, and Sane is there to grab him by the head. Sane drags TRRM near the crowd barrier where he throws him in and starts to stomp down a mudhole. TRRM is slumped and leaning on the crowd barrier while Justin Sane grabs the nearby steel steps and sets it up a few feet infront of TRRM. TRRM slowly gets to his feet on the barrier, and he sees Sane running towards him and the steel steps. Sane makes it to the steps and launches himself off it as he tries to attack TRRM. TRRM gets out in time and Sane hits face first onto the crowd barrier. TRRM hooks up Justin Sane and plants him down with a monstrous DDT!
RK: “Man, he just drove Sane face first to the mat with that DDT. Sane was doing a risky move, sadly, it didn’t pay off, JR.”
JR: “Sane missed his chance and TRRM capitalized on the opening.”
TRRM picks up Justin Sane and delivers some hard punches to the mid-section of his opponent. He scoops Sane up, turns around and bodyslams Sane onto the steel steps. Sane shouts in agony as his back collides with the cold hard steel of the ring steps. He falls to the mat and the referee starts the ten count on Sane.
RK: “The count is here: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-Sane slowly is getting to his feet here-8-and he’s up!”
Sane is on spaghetti legs and The Renegade reels him in for a hard knee to the gut. He lifts Sane onto his shoulders, but before he could do anything, Sane starts to beat on the back of TRRM. Sane wriggles free from TRRM’s grasps and lands behind him. He kicks TRRM on the back and does a reverse twist of fate neckbreaker on the former Xtreme champ. TRRM is down, but it seemed like it also took out some on Sane and he collapses as well. The referee inside the ring starts to count both men down. Sane and TRRM get to their feet by the count of 4 and they start to slug it out. TRRM reels back after a hard punch from Sane and Sane tries to clothesline him. TRRM catches Sane by the arm and takes him down the ground before he locks on a crossface.
JR: “CROSSFACE!!! Ron Michaels caught Justin Sane
TRRM continues to add pressure to the hold as Sane struggles on the outside of the ring. The Renegade lets go of the hold and Justin Sane lies flat on the ground. The referee starts to count Sane while TRRM watches his opponent closely for any signs of movement. The referee counts to 7, and Sane slowly stirs up.
RK: “Justin Sane got himself moving by the count of 7, and this match continues.”
JR: “The Renegade grabs Sane and hauls him up on his feet, before he slams him down with a sidewalk slam. Sane is down, and The Renegade is..hey what is he planning to do here?”
TRRM goes near the broadcast booth and takes out the cover. He pulls out one of the TV monitors and grabs a hold of it. TRRM waits for Sane to get to his feet completely before he attempts to deliver a hit on him with the TV monitor. TRRM misses and Sane sneaks in an enzugiri kick that takes his opponent down.
JR: “Ron Michaels missed his opportunity to deliver a hard blow to the head of Sane, but Sane answers back with a hard kick on The Renegade!”
RK: “The Renegade should have just used something more convenient to take out his opponent instead of pulling it out. Had he used a steel chair, it saved him more time to attack.”
Justin Sane looks at the monitor and grins before he picks up TRRM. He delivers a fury of clubs to the back of TRRM before he locks him in a front face lock. He drags TRRM near the monitor before he snapmares TRRM and delivers a basement dropkick across his back. While TRRM is down, he grabs the TV monitor and smacks it over the face of TRRM. TRRM holds his face as the TV monitor smashes right at the point of impact.
RK: “Man, obviously some glass was shattered there JR, that is a TV monitor after all.”
JR: “Justin Sane just destroyed that TV monitor on the face of TRRM with reckless abandon!”
TRRM is down and the referee starts to count.
Referee: “1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-”
The referee stops as Justin Sane picks up the groggy Renegade and kicks him repeatedly on the stomach while he has a hold of him. He drags TRRM on the announce desk and places him over there. He sets TRRM on top of the table before he gets up as well. He lifts TRRM up to a vertical base, but before he could, Ron Michaels backdrops him onto the table. TRRM turns around and delivers a stiff shot to the face of Justin Sane before he bodyslams him on the table. The announce table does not break, but Sane groans in pain and rolls off of it.
JR: “The Renegade is up, King, and look at his face. He now wearing a crimson mask thanks to the brutal hit he received from the TV monitor.”
RK: “Well he’s lucky that he’s still walking after that hit.”
TRRM staggers towards Justin Sane and delivers a hard club to the back of Sane. He delivers a couple of hard blows to the gut of Sane before he lifts him up on his shoulders and then slamming him to the padded concrete with a Samoan Drop. Sane squirms in pain as The Renegade pulls out a wooden table underneath the ring apron. He sets it up as Sane gets to his feet and goes over to his opponent. Sane sees TRRM heading for him and takes him down with a drop toe hold. TRRM gets to his feet and Sane grabs him to take him down the pavement yet again, this time with a jawbreaker maneuver. TRRM staggers back and falls on his back before Sane nears the table for both of them.
JR: “Justin Sane has recovered and now pulls that wooden table near The Renegade.”
He places The Renegade on the table before he pulls a nearby rope that was ‘conveniently’ placed near his location. He goes over to the table where TRRM is and begins to strangle him with the rope.
JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! JUSTIN SANE MUST HAVE LOST HIS MIND!”
RK: “He really is JUST INSANE, JR. I think he wants to choke the life out of Ron Michaels on that table.”
TRRM struggles a bit before he seems to have passed out on top of the table. Sane stops choking TRRM and he heads over to the apron before making his ascent to the top turnbuckle. He climbs up and looks towards his target, the table where TRRM is laying prone on. He springs up on the top rope and faces away from TRRM before he goes for a moonsault. However, in midair, Sane continues to rotate and delivers a moonsault like legdrop on TRRM and the table.
JR: “SANITY BREAKER ON THE TABLE! BAH GAWD!!! BAH GAWWWDD!!”
RK: “Now THIS is something I like, thank goodness of spot monkeys like Sane.”
Crowd: “HOLY S***! HOLY S***!! HOLY S***!!!”
The crowd goes into a frenzy after Sane connected with that impressive areal maneuver on TRRM. The table broke in half and TRRM is not moving outside the ring. Sane is also down, but we can see signs of movement from him as the referee starts to count both men on the outside.
Refere: “ONE!....TWO!...THREE!...FOUR!...FIVE!...SIX!...”
Sane starts to get to his feet and uses the ring apron to pull himself up. He gasps for air and looks at the fallen TRRM.
Referee: “SEVEN!...EIGHT!...NINE!...TEN!”
The referee calls for the bell and it rings to signal Justin Sane’s victory. Sane rolls back into the ring and is helped up by the referee. He raises Sane’s hand and gives him the Xtreme title.
THII: “The winner and STILL X-WCW XTREME CHAMPION…JUSTIN SANE!!!”
JR: “From a match that Randal did not want to see, to something that excited him, this had it all folks.”
RK: “Yeah. I guess this match type has its pluses and minuses. Mostly, I think it’s a plus now seeing how good the match ended. That was some spectacularly breath taking move done there by Justin Sane for him to keep that Xtreme title.”
JR: “More action will come our way folks, so stay tune!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as Sane leaves the ringside area with his Xtreme title belt.
We see the last moments of the Xtreme Wargames Match and it’s down to R.E. Rage and Karl Baller. Rage hooks the dragon sleeper on Karl Baller and we see a closeup of Rage shouting.
JR: “DRAGON SLEEPER ON KARL BALLER!”
Rage hooks him up for the dragon sleeper. But KB struggles to get out of the hold. KB uses his free arm to hold the nearby ropes. He then manages to get a kick high enough to smack the forehead of the already bleeding Rage. Rage is stunned and this gives KB the time to swing around his body and deliver a fisherman’s suplex pin on Rage. The referee counts the pin.
JR: “Here is the pin 1…2…3! BAH GAWD!!! BALLER WINS!!! THE X-WCW WINS THIS MATCH!!!!!”
The video skips to the part of the X-WCW roster and KB doing a beerbash.
JR: “Well look what we got here, King.”
RK: “OH YEAH! AN X-WCW BEER BASH!!!”
The video fades as the beer bash continues.
#1 Contendership to the X-WCW Championship
Ladder War Match
R.E. Rage vs. The Real Deal vs. Cane Deathscream vs. Karl Baller vs. "The Playboy" Brett Rayne vs. Andrew Radon vs. CJ Baller vs. "The Scorpion" Jack Blade vs. Bombshell
Ground Zero comes back from the commercial break and we see a briefcase hanging above the ring. We get shots from ringside where about 3 ladders are set up at the walkway that leads to the X-WCW ring. The camera pans back to the ring itself where Terri Hotbody II is standing with a microphone on her hand.
THII: “The following is the first ever Ladder War Match. The objective of this match is to retrieve the briefcase that is suspended above the X-WCW ring. The briefcase contains a contract for an X-WCW Championship title shot where the winner can use it at anytime, at any place for the duration of his possession of the said briefcase.”
The camera goes over to the commentator’s table with JR and RK.
JR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV, the 100th show of the X-WCW!!!”
RK: “This is a great way of you guys returning to us from your TV screens cause in a few seconds, history is about to be made. One of the nine X-WCW superstars in this match will win by retrieving that briefcase suspended about 15 to 20 feet from the ring. Inside that, as Terri just said, is a title shot where you can cash in at any time of your choosing.”
JR: “King, this is going to be historic.”
RK: “I know, JR, I know!”
JR: “Now let’s get to know a bit more about the 9 competitors who will be in this matchup.”
***
We shift to a video package that shows a black and white footage of Cane Deathscream wakling down a corridor. While the slow motion footage is shown, we hear his voice over.
CD V.O.: “I’ve been there before...”
We see a shot of Cane Deathscream brandishing the X-WCW World Heavyweight Title around his waist while he stands tall in the ring. The scene fades to a shot of Karl Baller posing on top of the turnbuckle with the X-WCW World Title and the 2NLW Scion Belt while we hear his voice over.
KB V.O.: “I know what it feels like…”
The clip fades before we see Bombshell riding a Harley Davidson on the rampway. We see the X-WCW heavyweight belt hanging around his neck on the same clip while we hear his voice over.
BS V.O.: “I’ve tasted gold…But…”
CD V.O.: “At the same time….”
KB V.O: “I’ve also known how it feels like when it’s stanched from my clutches…”
While we hear their voiceovers, we see Bombshell getting pinned by Cane Deathscream for the title. The video then highlights Cane Deathscream down on the ring while we see Cyberstrike posing with the belt. It soon shifts to the clip from Starrcade: Revolution wherein Karl Baller is knocked out by The “Scorpion” Jack Blade before we see a shot of Bonito getting the X-WCW title raised into the air.
KB V.O.: “Obviously, I know how hard it feels to lose it…”
The clip of KB falling to the mat fades into a video footage of R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne holding up the X-WCW Tag Team titles. We hear their respective voices.
RER V.O.: “I’ve been decorated with belts before…”
BR V.O.: “But tonight, will be one step closer to the biggest prize of them all..”
We then see a clip of The Real Deal hitting a big boot to the face of some random opponent before hearing him.
TRD V.O.: “Tonight I will climb up that ladder…”
The video highlights CJ Baller ascending the top rope to pose for the fans as we hear his voice over.
CJ V.O.: “I will get that contract…”
The video shifts to “The Scorpion” Jack Blade raising a steel chair with one arm while he is in the ring.
TSJB V.O.: “…I will make a mark…”
We see Andrew Radon facing the camera in a deadpan like face before we hear his voice.
AR V.O.: “And will be one step closer from my destiny.”
The video package shows the X-WCW ringside and the pyros are set off while “Are You Ready” by hazen street is heard. We see different shots of the 9 participants as we hear JR’s voice over.
JR V.O.: “Nine men are going vie for the chance to challenge the X-WCW Champion anytime and anywhere. The stakes couldn’t get any higher than this.”
“Are you ready?”
We see a shot of Karl Baller hitting the number one single on R.E. Rage
“Are you ready or not?”
The video shows Jack Blade applying a headlock on a grounded CJ Baller. It shifts to TRD bouncing off the ropes to deliver a powerful clothesline that turns Brett Rayne inside out.
“Cause I’m going all out, so show me what you got”
The video package goes to a clip of Cane Deathscream delivering a chokeslam on Bombshell. It quickly shifts to a footage of Andrew Radon slapping the face of Karl Baller.
“Are you ready?!”…”Are you ready?!?!”
The video shows Cane Deathscream smirking menacingly before we see a clip of Bombshell raising his fist in the air while he is on the stage. It changes to Jack Blade inside the ring and pointing to someone outside of it. We see TRD mouthing something off while he faces the crowd.
“ARE YOU READY?”…”ARE YOU READY?!”
A clip of Radon posing at the turnbuckle is shown before it shifts to CJ Baller letting out a shout while he is posing in the ring as well. We then see a clip of Brett Rayne flexing his biceps as he strolls down the rampway before it shifts to R.E. Rage posing at the ring apron to the fans.
“ARE YOU READY OR NOT?!”
The video fades to black as we see a final shot, that of Karl Baller who is seen raising his arm into the air.
***
The camera pans over to the ringside stage where the lights just dimmed down and we hear “I AM IT!” being said on the speakers. “Break” soon follows and the pyros on stage explode. R.E. Rage comes out to the ringside area to the sounds of Drowning Pool’s “Tear Away” while the fans start to join the song with booing.
THII: “Introducing first, from Toronto Ontario, Canada, he weighs in at 240 lbs…R.E. RAGE!!!”
The fans continue to boo Rage while he confidently walks down the aisle and passes through the 3 ladders.
JR: “R.E. Rage is no stranger to X-WCW ladder matches, King. However, the most opponents he had in a ladder match was about 2 only. Is he ready to take on 8 other men in hopes to be the one to retrieve the briefcase?”
RK: “I am not sure, JR. However, I think it is in Rage’s advantage that he has been into these types of matches. Sure, half of the 9 competitors might have had ladder matches here and there, but this man seems a seasoned pro. Not only that, but he has held titles here and outside the X-WCW that were prestigious. No one can outperform this man in a big time situation, well unless your name is Karl Baller that is.”
Rage slides into the ring and goes to the center of the ring. Confidently, he peers up to see the briefcase and points at it before signaling that the briefcase would be his. His music slowly fades out and he takes one corner of the ring while he anticipates the next entrant of the match. “You know my name” by Chris Cornell plays across ringside and “The Scorpion” Jack Blade enters ringside to a pretty negative crowd reaction as well.
THII: “From parts unknown, he weighs in at 225 lbs….he is THE SCORPION JACK BLADE!!!”
TSJB slowly makes his way down the aisle as Rage has a smirk across his face directed at the incoming opponent.
JR: “This man is one that is wrapped in an enigma, King. He has made an impact here in the X-WCW after he cost Karl Baller the X-WCW Championship at Starrcade: Revolution.”
RK: “You got that right, this man made an impact. Well, after that he didn’t anymore. Is it just me or does he gain relevance if it’s only a PPV and not a regular X-WCW show?”
“The Scorpion” Jack Blade climbs up the stairs of the ring before he eventually climbs up the top rope. He stays there for a while and points up to the briefcase hanging above the ring. He hops off the turnbuckle and gazes back at R.E. Rage with criminal intent as his music fades.
RK: “Man, this guy means business, JR. I can feel his stare at Rage is somewhat deadly.”
“Deadly game” plays and Cane Deathscream of the nTo makes his arrival with a mixed yet mostly positive reaction from the capacity crowd. He stands tall on the stage with his usual wrestling attire plus the nTo t-shirt and confidently raises both arms in the air.
THII: “Up next, he is from parts unknown. Weighing in at 315 lbs, he is the nTo member, CANE DEATHSCREAM!!!”
With his name being called, he marches down the aisle slowly and menacingly.
JR: “Another dangerous man from parts unknown is Cane Deathscream.”
RK: “Man, what kind of people do they breed in that location?”
JR: “Regardless of that joke, I believe this man is someone who would love to win it all tonight. Remember, King, he was a former X-WCW World Champion in the past. If he wins this match, he’d have another shot at the gold here.”
Cane climbs over the ropes and glares down his two opponents while his music slowly fades. “Rollin” by Limp Bizkit hits the speakers and Bombshell comes out with the Revolution T-Shirt on top of his usual wrestling gear. The fans boo the Revolution member as he makes his way down the rampway.
THII: “From Maple Ridge B.C., he weighs in at 276 lbs. Revolution member…BOMSHELL!”
JR: “Speaking of former X-WCW World Champions, Bombshell is one of them. A former nTo member, Bombshell has changed his loyalty ties and I assure you that Cane nor the other nTo members like that.”
RK: “I know that, JR. However, I do know that Rage and the other Revolution members are liking the fact they got a former tag team champion and world champion on their side in the form of Bombshell.”
Bombshell enters the ring and raises both arms in the air for the crowd before he pulls them down and approaches Rage. Both men hit knuckles and look over to the other side of the ring where Cane and Jack Blade are located. “WAR” by Nas plays along the PA Systems and CJ Baller makes his way to the ringside area. The fans cheer for the Baller brother as he makes his way down the aisle.
THII: “From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he weighs in at 268 lbs….CJ BALLER!!!”
JR: “CJ Baller, as we all know is the brother of Karl Baller.”
RK: “Obviously, JR. It’s going to be surprising how these two brothers would compete here in this match. Will it be every man for themselves or will they help each other to win that briefcase?”
JR: “That is one very good question, King. The possibilities of a cooperation or a sibling rivalry are limitless here especially when the stakes are this high.”
CJ Baller slides into the ring and poses for the fans who continue to cheer for him. His music drowns into the background as we hear “Critically acclaimed” by Avenged Sevenfold play through the speakers. The Real Deal enters ringside to a slightly positive response from the crowd.
THII: “From Music City, USA, he weighs in at 300 lbs…THE REAL DEAL!!!”
After being introduced, TRD saunters down the rampway and makes his way towards the ring.
JR: “I have to tell you King, The Real Deal may have had bad luck in facing John Crook on Doubleshot but he has a chance here tonight to get a shot at immortality. If he wins, the can potentially win the world title when he cashes in this briefcase.”
RK: “For me, JR, I have to say this to you yet again. TRD is one helluva hoss!”
TRD enters the ring and shakes hands with Cane Deathscream. Inside the ring we see 2 members of the nTo, 2 members of the Revolution while there are 2 wrestlers who are not in either organization or stable. “30/30.150” by Stone Sour plays Radon comes down the ramp to a chorus of boos. He arrogantly makes his way down the aisle as THII introduces him.
THII: “Now residing in Knoxville, Tennessee…ANDREW RADON!!!”
JR: “Talk about your former champions, AR is a former UCW World..”
RK: “No, JR, he is not a world champion.”
JR: “But he-”
RK: “No…he’s not. Let’s just say he’s a former X-WCW tag team champion and tonight he’d like to get a real chance to be an X-WCW World Champion if he so ever gets the briefcase. I think that’s simple enough to say.”
Radon enters the ring and glares at the other competitors before getting his own empty space inside. His music fades out and “Number One” by Nelly hits to announce the entrance of “The Playboy” Brett Rayne into the ringside area. The fans take note of Brett’s entrance and they start to boo.
THII: “From Huntington Beach, Ca during Mondays thru Fridays, and your Mother’s bedroom on Saturday and Sunday. He weighs in at 235 lbs…”THE PLAYBOY” BRETT RAYNE!!!”
RK: “Now THIS is a real former world champion, hell he is a UNIVERSAL champion in that other fed he was in.”
JR: “Brett Rayne, one half of the tag team known as RNR. It would be also an interesting match here to see if these two would cooperate with each other before trying to get to the briefcase alone.”
RK: “Yeah, we got brothers, stable members and tag team partners in this match. A lot is really going to be tested here tonight. Are your loyalties solid? Or when the biggest opportunity you would ever get in the X-WCW shows up, will you compromise your brotherhood, your loyalty, and even kinship ties? Man, this match is already exciting while we talk about it.”
Brett saunters into the ring and poses for the fans who continue to boo him relentlessly. Brett goes over to the Revolution’s side and high fives both Bombshell and Rage. “Hate it or luv it” hits the speakers and the fans go wild as Karl Baller enters the ringside area.
THII: “Finally, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he weighs in at 223 lbs…KARL BALLER!!!”
Karl Baller marches down the rampway and gives out high fives to the fans that are near him as he makes his way to the ring.
JR: “If we want to talk about former X-WCW World Champions, we should also talk about Karl Baller. He was the champion before Tony Bonito screwed him out of it. I am sure that this young man has a lot of intent on getting that briefcase and reclaiming what is rightfully his.”
RK: “No offense, but he clearly lost his belt to Bonito. What needs to prove tonight is whether or not he’s gonna get back on the horse that dropped him on his ass.”
KB slides into the ring and poses for the fans once more before going to his corner with CJ Baller. The brothers do a high five before they give a brief hug. KB’s music fades into the background and the air is now filled with cheers from the crowd as they anticipate one of the most interesting matches for the X-WCW to date. Finally the bell rings and all nine men inside the X-WCW ring are either going at it or going outside to brawl. Inside the ring, Andrew Radon quickly attacks KB on one side of the ring but Baller fights back. Bombshell and Cane Deathscream are brawling with each other near the ropes while Jack Blade and CJ Baller are exchanging punches. Outside we see Brett Rayne and R.E. Rage double teaming The Real Deal near the crowd barrier.
JR: “All nine men are just beating up one another here, King.”
RK: “Well I know some would go for the ladders now but hell either they got pounced on like KB was or they are too busy double teaming some sucker like RNR is doing it on TRD.”
RNR beat down TRD as he is slumped on the ring apron for a good few seconds. Brett Rayne jogs towards the rampway and collects one of the three ladders displayed there. He slides it into the ring while R.E. Rage continues to keep TRD down outside. Back inside the ring, Brett Rayne rams the ladder at Bombshell and Cane Deathscream. Both BS and CD go down and Brett Rayne directs his attention now on Karl Baller and Andrew Radon. Both men see Rayne with the ladder and sidestep just in time before getting hit. The former tag team partners do a number on Brett Rayne as KB and AR deliver a double dropkick on Brett Rayne to send him down the mat. Brett Rayne falls on his back and the ladder lands right on his face.
RK: “OWWW! That is not going to be good on Brett’s handsome mug.”
JR: “The former tag team partners momentarily teamed up to take out Brett Rayne who was trying to get the upper hand with the ladder.”
Karl Baller and Andrew Radon momentarily look at the ladder and Brett Rayne beneath it before they stare down. They would like to beat up on each other but it seemed like Bombshell and Cane Deathscream have other plans as they attack on them. It now turns to be Bombshell hitting KB out of nowhere while Cane Deathscream spins AR around and shoves him into the nearby corner. At the corner, Cane Deathscream delivers some hard throat thrusts to AR before he follows it up with a boot choke. Karl Baller gets a kick to the gut before he is sent over the ropes with a huge clothesline by the mad bomber.
JR: “Bombshell hits a hard clothesline and it sends KB out of the ring!”
Jack Blade gets the advantage on CJ Baller as he blocks a punch and delivers a kick that stuns his opponent. TSJB follows it up with a series of kicks to the side of CJ Baller before he goes for a spinning wheel kick. CJ avoids the kick and slides in to connect a back suplex on his opponent. Outside the ring, R.E. Rage has TRD leaning on the crowd barrier before he backs up and tries to charge at him. TRD scouts him and sends him flying over the crowd barrier with a back body drop. Somehow, Rage gets his bearings and lands on his feet. He swipes a cup from a fan and tosses it on the face of TRD as the nTo member turns around.
RK: “Haha! There’s some soda on TRD’s eyes right now, JR.”
JR: “Rage seems to put some innovation on offense pretty well, but this is pushing it.”
Rage hops over the barrier and delivers some right hands to the face of the temporarily blinded TRD. Karl Baller is also outside the ring and he gets to his feet. KB picks up one of the ladders and tosses it into the ring before sliding in. As of the moment, two ladders are now situated in the ring. Brett Rayne and Bombshell direct their attention to Cane Deathscream and double team him inside the ring. TSJB struggles out of a front face lock and backs CJ Baller into the ropes. There, he delivers some hard chops to the chest of CJ before CJ Baller fights back with some hard kicks to the rib area. Karl Baller grabs the ladder and uses it to ram TSJB’s face. TSJB falls down and KB sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring while the rest are still fighting or are outside. Brett Rayne sees KB setting up the ladder and he heads there while Bombshell is left alone to fight against Cane.
JR: “Karl Baller is preparing for the ladder and he is not aware of Brett Rayne’s impending arrival.”
He doesn’t have to, it seems, as CJ Baller runs towards Brett Rayne and takes him out with a thez press. CJ punches away on the face of Brett Rayne while we see Karl Baller slowly making his way up the ladder. He would be contested however by Andrew Radon who climbs up on the other side of the ladder. Outside the ring, we see TRD crashing through the steel steps and R.E. Rage quickly sliding into the ring.
JR: “Both AR and KB are making their way up the ladder to retrieve the prize. However, it seems like R.E. Rage has seen through it as well.”
RK: “Yeah, he just got in and he’s grabbing the nearby ladder. I wonder what plans he has with that.”
He lifts the ladder and rams it on AR’s body to send him falling from the ladder he was on. He does the same thing on KB and Baller too drops to the mat. Rage turns around only to be hit with a big boot to the face by Cane Deathscream who just tossed BS over the ropes a few seconds ago. “The Scorpion” Jack Blade sees his opportunity and starts to climb up the ladder. However, CJ Baller grabs him by the leg and pulls him back to the mat. CJ spins TSJB around and delivers a huge clothesline to take him down. A recently recovered Brett Rayne gets to his feet and runs towards Cane Deathscream to deliver a forearm smash from behind. CD falls down on one knee as Rayne starts to kick him around and giving Rage some time to recover. RNR work on Cane Deathscream on the corner for a while before Brett Rayne collects the ladder and places it down a few feet across the corner. Rage snapmares Cane and CD’s back hits the steel of the ladder.
RK: “OH! That’s gotta hurt for Cane. Now look at this JR, Brett Rayne hops onto the top rope and delivers a moonsault onto Cane who is on that ladder!!!”
TRD gets back in the ring and delivers a huge clothesline that sends R.E. Rage down the mat. Brett Rayne gets to his feet and is hit by a couple of clubbing blows to the back. TRD grabs Brett Rayne by the head before he rams him shoulder-first into the ring post. BR stumbles backwards and into an inverted DDT by TRD. CJ Baller stars to climb up the ladder to head to the contract. However, we see a recovered Bombshell running over to deliver a double axehandle on the back of his opponent. CJ Baller is stunned on the ladder while BS grabs him and slams him down the mat with a powerbomb.
JR: “Bombshell just drove CJ Baller back to the mat with a powerbomb! Bah gawd what an impact!!! On the other side of the ladder, we can see The Scorpion Jack Blade already recovered and is trying to make his way up. However, it seems like The Real Deal can see his attempt and is climbing up behind him.”
TSJB reaches up the top of the ladder and has one of his hand holding the contact. He tries to reach farther to dislodge it from the hook but TRD grabs him by the legs and sends both of them down in an electric chair drop variation. The ladder tips over and is now hanging on the ropes after the impact that the move by TRD has done.
RK: “You saw Jack Blade trying his luck, but unfortunately The Real Deal was there to stop him on his tracks.”
Karl Baller, Cane Deathscream and Andrew Radon scramble to their feet and converge to the middle of the ring. Cane tries his luck to grab the ladder, but AR punches him a couple of times. Cane Deathscream turns to Radon and delivers a huge punch that sends him down. KB tries to charge at Cane and he too suffers the same fate as AR. Cane Deathscream picks up the ladder and sets it up. R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne both get to their feet to see Cane starting to get on the ladder. Bombshell is there on the other side of the ladder to race up against Cane. RNR make a quick move to raise the other ladder beside the ladder Cane and Bombshell are on and start to climb up on theirs. All four men eventually make it up and it’s Cane Deathscream getting punched by Bombshell, Rage, and Rayne one by one. Cane tries to fight back with some punches on his own. It’s a 3-on-1 on both ladders while the other five men are up already in the ring. Jack Blade goes over to the side of Bombshell and delivers some clubbing blows on him to try and pull him down the ladder. Andrew Radon, on the other hand, goes on Cane’s side and hits him with some clubs on the back as well. On the other ladder, this gives RNR the chance to use their feet to tip over the other ladder that BS and CD are on. The ladder tips over and sends Bombshell on the mat while it sends Cane crashing down to the outside. AR and TSJB safely land on their feet and was not affected by the ladder.
JR: “RNR used that opportunity to take out the other ladder, but they are not fortunate themselves right now!”
RK: “You tell me, now it’s Karl Baller and CJ Baller who pull both RNR members down from that ladder.”
Karl and CJ spin Rage and Brett respectively to their direction before laying them out with a powerful punch. The Baller brothers yet again take out their opponents with another powerful punch as they get to their feet. KB and CJ Baller switch opponents and it’s KB who takes out Brett Rayne with a spinning forearm smash while CJ Baller takes out R.E. Rage with a running knee lift on the midsection. Andrew Radon and “The Scorpion” Jack Blade are locked up in the nearby corner. AR backs TSJB and delivers some hard knife edged chops, until TSJB fights back with some hard kicks to the side of Radon. Outside the ring, we see Cane Deathscream getting to his feet after crashing down from the ladder a minute or two earlier. TRD, in the meantime, is battling Bombshell inside the ring and both big men are punching and kicking the other to see who falls down first.
RK: “The Baller brothers are setting up that ladder yet again in the middle of the ring, JR! Weeks before this match, they told each other and the world that it’s only one of them that’s gonna get it.”
JR: “We might see some sibling rivalry right here, King.”
With Rage and Rayne down on the ring, it gives both CJ and Karl Baller the opportunity to climb up on the ladder that is left standing. However, the other two ladders would soon be set up by Rage and Brett Rayne respectively as they get to their feet. So while the brothers are climbing on opposite sides of the middle ladder, R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne climb on separate ladders that sandwich it. The four other men inside the ring are too busy fighting each other to notice the four men climbing, but a recovered Cane Deathscream enters the ring and soon climbs up the ladder where Brett Rayne is climbing up.
JR: “Five men are climbing up on three sets of ladders, the excitement is here King. Who is gonna get that contract?”
CJ and Karl Baller both reach the top of the ladder and they start to punch each other. The two brothers duke it out until R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne make it on top of the ladders beside them and punch them instead. R.E. Rage grabs Karl Baller by the head and rams him face first onto the topmost spot of his ladder. Rage connects with two more punches before he sends himself and Karl off their ladders with a sit down DDT.
JR: “BAH GAWD! Rage just drove KB and himself off those ladders with a sit-down DDT!”
RK: “Really? To me it looked like an X-Ocution from the ladder. R.E. Rage should remember, he’s Rage, not that drunken idiot!”
Brett Rayne and CJ Baller are just beside each other but are on opposite ladders. Both men start punching the other one that is until Cane Deathscream comes in and grabs both men by the throat. CD seems to be going for a double chokeslam but both men think otherwise. Brett Rayne and CJ Baller deliver some stiff shots to the face of Cane for him to loosen his grip on their throats. “The Scorpion” Jack Blade sends AR over the ropes after AR tried to run towards the corner. AR crashes to the outside while Jack Blade quickly makes a run for it up the ladder. CJ Baller and Brett Rayne continue to punch on Cane Deathscream while CD fights back with some throat thrusts of his own. TSJB climbs up beside CD and delivers some punches of his own before he grabs him and delivers an inverted DDT on CD that sends them both off the ladder. CJ Baller catches a punch from Brett Rayne and takes both of them off the ladder with the side-effect move.
JR: “Both Jack Blade and CJ Baller just took out their respective opponents off the ladder!!!”
RK: “No one has yet to get the contract hanging above, JR, but bodies are falling everywhere right now!”
Karl Baller and R.E. Rage slowly get to their feet and KB grabs Rage by the head. He delivers some had forearm smashes to the face until Rage pokes him in the eyes. Outside the ring, we see Andrew Radon slightly ticked off and is now searching under the apron for things of which he can use in this battle. Radon pulls out a table and tosses it inside the ring before sliding in. Bombshell takes out TRD momentarily with a bodyslam and turns around to get a punch from Andrew Radon. Radon fires off a few more shots before he goes for a clothesline. Bombshell ducks down and takes Radon to the floor with a big boot that sends AR…back outside. TRD gets to his feet and quickly sends Bombshell out of the ring with a huge clothesline.
JR: “The Real Deal, just took out Bombshell with that clothesline…but look who is coming from behind!”
RK: “Jack Blade just made a beeline towards TRD and takes him to the outside of the ring as well!”
TSJB turns around and is bumped by KB who was sent there by R.E. Rage with an Irish Whip. TSJB is knocked off the top rope while KB hangs onto the ropes. R.E. Rage tries to clothesline KB off to the outside but he ducks and sends Rage flying. Rage lands on the apron but not for too long. CJ Baller, who recently got up to his feet, grabs a ladder and rams it right on Rage to send him falling outside. He uses the ladder and makes it lean on the top rope. Right now the ladder has an incline that is directly in front of the five wrestlers. He calls for his brother Karl to do something with the ladder and KB obliges.
JR: “Karl Baller bounces off the ropes, and now runs over the slanted ladder. He launches himself there and SENTON SPLASH ON THE OUTSIDE! He just wiped out the five men outside the ring!”
The five men, plus KB, are slowly recovering on the outside while inside the ring, we see it would be CJ Baller’s time to imitate his brother Karl. However, as he tries to run towards the ladder, Brett Rayne is there to scout him with a huge clothesline. CJ Baller goes down and Brett Rayne puts in the boots on him for a few seconds before he himself runs over the ladder and does a dive towards the six men outside. Just like before, Brett Rayne crashes onto the six men outside the ring and all seven of them are laid out.
RK: “HOLY SMOKES! Brett Rayne gave a stage dive onto the six men outside the ring!”
Inside the ring, we see CJ Baller slowly getting to his feet and he sees Cane Deathscream on the top rope…facing the seven men outside the ring! CJ Baller sighs as he looks onto Cane standing on the top rope and anticipating the seven men to get up. Slowly, the seven wrestlers outside get to their feet and it’s Cane’s turn to fly up the turnbuckle. He descends on the seven men with a clothesline that sends down Rage, Brett, and Radon first before the other four are laid out due to the shove or force of the top rope maneuver delivered by Cane.
JR: “Cane Deathscream, from above, just took out the seven men outside the ring. Inside, there is only CJ Baller and he too seems conflicted if he would just climb up the ladder or do something similar to his brother and a couple of others that launched themselves to the outside of the ring.”
RK: “He has to be smart about this JR! This is his opportunity to get that…oh man…”
CJ runs up the ladder and delivers a splash on the eight men outside the ring. Once he hits, it’s official, all nine competitors are laid out on the outside of the X-WCW ring and the fans are going wild. Slowly but surely, all nine men get to their feet. RNR choose wisely to slide back into the ring while the 7 others are left there to fight amongst themselves if only temporarily. R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne set up the ladder in the middle of the ring yet again while the other two remain clattered amongst other things. Outside the ring, CJ and Karl Baller are trying to beat down on Cane Deathscream while Andrew Radon and TRD are duking it out. Bombshell and TSJB start to throw punches at each other until the Mad Bomber grabs TSJB and sends him crashing into the steel steps.
JR: “R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne start to climb that ladder, but it seems like Cane Deathscream just slid in after taking out both Ballers outside.”
RK: “And the look on Cane’s face translates to apparent danger for RNR.”
Cane picks up one of the ladders and he uses it to hit Brett Rayne who was trying to reach for the contract. Rage tries his luck, but he too gets hit by the ladder in Cane’s hands. Both men struggle on their ladders and try to reach for the contracts yet again. Cane smirks as he rams the ladder on Brett Rayne’s chest area to make him stop reaching for the contract. BR clutches his chest before he falls down after another hard shot from the ladder. Rage avoids the ladder as Cane tries to hit him with it the first time. Rage hops off from his ladder and clings onto the suspended contract once Cane’s ladder smacks the ladder he was on and tips it over.
JR: “Rage has a hold of that contract, but it seems that he cannot reach it to make it fall off the hook!”
RK: “He could! However, I think Cane has some other ideas for him.”
Indeed Cane has, as the big blue machine uses the ladder to ram Rage on the stomach region. The first hit makes Rage shout in agony but he still holds onto the contract while being suspended on top of the ring. Cane delivers a second hit on Rage’s abdominal region and he falls down and crash lands on the mat. The crowd seems to be partially silent as Rage does not seem to be moving from his position. Back inside the ring, The Baller brothers come back and attack Cane Deathscream at the same time from behind. CD drops the ladder from his grasps and CJ and KB back him into a nearby corner.
JR: “CJ Baller isolates Cane Deathscream on that corner while it seems that Karl Baller is setting up that wooden table inside the ring.”
RK: “We are gonna get some wood now, JR! Remember, Andrew Radon originally put that wooden table in the ring and now I guess we will see it be put to use.”
Both Karl Baller and CJ Baller set Cane Deathscream on the top turnbuckle before we see CJ Baller climbing up. He sets up Cane Deathscream for a superplex, but Cane blocks it. Back outside, TRD tries to deliver a clothesline on Bombshell but it’s blocked. Bombshell spins him around and decks him hard with an elbow to the face. Bombshell slides into the ring and sees KB. Before KB would notice him, he takes him down with a huge clothesline. He sees CJ Baller and Cane Deathscream struggling on the nearby corner and he goes over there to see what he can do. Bombshell goes over there and delivers a hard club to the back of CJ Baller before he goes into the corner to deliver a powerbomb. From his powerbomb, CJ Baller grabs onto Cane Deathscream and pulls off the superplex from the corner. In one instance, CJ Baller and Cane Deathscream are driven into the table and the wooden furniture breaks in half due to the impact.
JR: “Bombshell just sent CJ Baller and Cane Deathcsream into that table! BAH GAWD!”
RK: “Well he can’t get some rest now, cause Karl Baller just got to his feet and his heading his way over to the Mad Bomber!”
Bombshell is taken by surprise as KB runs up to him and takes him down with a spinning heel kick. KB gets to his feet and waits for BS to get up before leveling him with a spinning wheel kick that connects to Bombshell’s jaw. Brett Rayne gets to a vertical base and sees the carnage inside the ring. Outside, however, we see the three combatants TSJB, TRD, and AR fighting amongst themselves for a few seconds. The three men realize that they are the only three people outside and observe the ring briefly before re-entering. Brett Rayne goes after KB and tries to deliver a clothesline, but KB ducks down and catches BR with some stiff punches to the face. Jack Blade and Andrew Radon start to double team on TRD inside the ring and back him near the ring post.
RK: “Radon and Blade are surely putting the boots on The Real Deal on that corner, JR!”
JR: “Back on the other side, Karl Baller just knocked Brett Rayne off his feet with a well executed dropkick. However, from behind, Bombshell locks on a sleeper hold against the former X-WCW World Champion.”
RK: “Ah, but you gotta acknowledge that Bombshell is a former X-WCW World Champion as well, JR. A former champ just locked in that sleeper hold against another former champ.”
Bombshell has KB on a sleeper hold and Brett Rayne capitalizes on it as he deliver some punches to the stomach of KB. Bombshell lets go as KB goes down on his knees after repeated shots from Brett Rayne. R.E. Rage finally moves around and he is helped up by Bombshell and Brett Rayne. Cane Deathscream and CJ Baller slowly stir up after crashing through the table and the Revolution members take notice of that fact. The three Revolution members start to stomp down on CJ Baller and Cane Deathscream. On the other side of the ring, we see both TSJB and AR whipping TRD off to the ropes. TRD comes back and surprises both men with a double DDT to take down his opponents.
JR: “Just when you thought he was overpowered, The Real Deal springs back into action, taking both Radon and Jack Blade to the mat with that double DDT.”
The Real Deal gets to his feet and sees the 3-on-2 that the Revolution members are doing. He tries to go even up the odds for Cane and CJ Baller, but Jack Blade gets to his feet and spins TRD around. He connects with a punch, but TRD fights back with a hard punch of his own. TSJB is sent reeling to the ropes and eventually crashes down to the outside after TRD follows it up with a hard boot to the chest of his opponent. With the obstacle out of his way, TRD heads onto the other side of the ring where he tries to “clean house” with the help of one of the ladders. He rams the ladder on the back of Bombshell and the Mad Bomber falters. Rage and Rayne turn around to see TRD trying to deliver a ladder shot to them as well but they both duck down…and TRD accidentally knocks Cane Deathscream to the outside of the ring.
RK: “Well that was a rather unexpected twist of events if I do say so myself, JR.”
TRD turns around with the ladder and he knocks Brett Rayne down with the ladder that swung wildly. Rage avoids the swing and takes TRD down with a double leg takedown. A recovered Karl Baller bounces off the ropes and delivers a spinning elbow smash on an incoming Andrew Radon. Rage gets to his feet and is caught with a boot to the gut by CJ Baller. CJ delivers some clubs to the back of Rage before Rage fights back with a face rake that momentarily stuns CJ Baller. Rage bounces off the ropes, but is slammed down to the mat by a spinebuster from CJ Baller.
JR: “CJ Baller put the hammer down on that spinebuster against Rage!”
RK: “Man, I think he just hurt Rage’s spinal area all over with that move.”
Rage groans in pain from the move delivered by CJ Baller. Karl Baller waits for Andrew Radon to get to his feet before he goes for a jumping sidekick. He goes for the kick, however, Radon ducks down and Karl accidentally levels his own brother CJ and sends him over the ropes. CJ crashes to Cane Deathscream on the outside and both men fall down. Inside the ring, Andrew Radon grabs Karl Baller and sets him up for the systematic breakdown (celtic cross) but KB slips off and lands behind Radon. Radon does not have time to turn around as R.E. Rage grabs him and drives him to the mat with a double underhook DDT. KB uses this time to set up a ladder in the middle of the ring, but Rage is there to attack him even before he could climb up.
RK: “Rage noticed Karl Baller trying to get up on that ladder, but as long as Rage is aware, nothing like that is gonna happen.”
TRD gets to his feet, just the same that Brett Rayne gets to his feet. The Playboy knocks TRD to the corner with a quick playboy kick out of nowhere. TRD staggers towards Brett Rayne and is taken down by the Rayne Drop.
JR: “Rayne Drop on TRD and he goes down hard on the mat!”
KB uses his elbows to smack the forehead of Rage and try to get him off of his way. Rage staggers back from a powerful elbow that hit him between his eyes. Outside the ring, we see Jack Balde pulling out multiple tables and starts setting them up on the outside. On the other side, Cane Deathscream and CJ Baller start to slug it out with hard punches on the other competitor. R.E. Rage grabs KB by the leg and successfully pulls him back on the ring. Rage spins KB around and knocks him off his feet with a dropkick to the face. KB gets to his feet and Rage delivers a hard knee to the gut of his opponent. While Rage has KB in a side headlock, we see Brett Rayne climbing up the ladder. On the other side of the ladder, it won’t be empty as a recovered Andrew Radon starts to climb up. Bombshell, the almost forgotten man, gets another ladder and sets it up beside the ladder of BR and AR. The four men start climbing inside the ring while on the outside of the ring, beside the ring specifically, we see “The Scorpion” Jack Blade completing his stack of tables that would amount to 4 pieces of stacked wooden tables. Three tables are at the base while there is one lone table on top of the three.
RK: “Looks like Jack Blade got himself an art project outside the ring, JR.”
JR: “With his stack of tables done, I think it’s high time for him to get back in the ring as three men are at the top of the area. Brett Rayne, Andrew Radon and Bombshell are now competing for that contract.”
All three of them start to punch the other on top of their respective ladders. Bombshell blocks a punch from Radon and delivers a nasty headbutt that sends AR into a dizzy spell. Brett Rayne uses this moment to deliver a hard axe handle over the head of AR to make him fall down from his ladder. Bombshell moves to the other ladder now that AR is not there to try and reach for the contract, but Brett stops him by grabbing his hand. Brett uses his free hand to deliver punches on his fellow Revolution member. Bombshell fights back with punches of his own. While both men struggle to get the contract, we see KB getting out of the headlock with some elbow strikes to the gut of Rage and whips him into the ropes. Both men go down as KB and Rage do a crossbody at the same time. Jack Blade comes into the ring in time for him to tip over the ladder of Bombshell and Brett Rayne. The two Revolution members crash down to the stack of tables that Jack Blade prepared on the outside. Numerous sounds of broken wood and the gasps of the audience members are heard in the arena before seconds later we would hear…
“HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!”
JR: “OH BAH GAWD!!! Bombshell and Brett Rayne just took a nosedive into that horrendous wooden monstrosity that Jack Blade concocted outside the ring!!!”
RK: “…….WHAT?”
Outside the ring, Bombshell and Brett Rayne are not moving. CJ Baller and Cane, however, continue their slugfest outside. Deathscream waylays CJ Baller a while with a throat thrust before he levels him with a big boot to the face. Cane goes to the apron and pulls out a steel chair. He waits for CJ to get to his feet and blasts him over the head with it. CJ falters down on his knees before he eventually falls face first on the padding of the ringside area. Back in the ring, Karl Baller gets to his feet and delivers a running enzugiri to a recovering R.E. Rage. The Real Deal approaches Jack Blade, who is setting up the ladder again, and grabs him from behind. TRD has TSJB in a Cobra Clutch hold and suddenly slams him to the mat.
JR: “Cobra clutch slam by TRD and Jack Blade is down on the mat.”
The Real Deal turns around and is met by a punch from Karl Baller. KB connects another punch that stuns the bigger man before he tries to deliver a discus punch that sends TRD leaning on the ropes. R.E. Rage gets to his feet and attacks KB from behind with a hard club over the head. He spins KB around and connects with some knife edged chops. Rage tries to whip KB into the ropes, but KB reverses it and Rage walks into a huge powerslam from TRD. TRD rises to his feet and blocks a punch from KB before he grabs him by the throat. He lifts him with both hands, but all of a sudden his grip falters and he goes down on his knees thanks to a low blow from “The Scorpion” Jack Blade.
JR: “That damn cheat! He just hit TRD in the nether regions!”
KB gets to his feet and he narrowly avoids a clothesline from Jack Blade. KB takes TSJB out momentarily with a dropkick. Cane Deathscream re-enters the ring and goes right to the ladder. He sets it up, but Andrew Radon is there to attack him from behind with a flurry of clubs to the back. Karl Baller grabs a ladder and is about to set it up beside Cane’s, but TSJB spins him around and steals the ladder away from his grasps. Jack Blade slams the ladder across the mid-section of KB and he crumples to the mat. TRD gets back to his feet but TSJB swings the ladder at him and he crashes to the outside of the ring. TSJB tosses the ladder to the outside and is going to get out of the ring, until KB grabs him from behind and slams him down with a back suplex. Radon tries to deliver a suplex on Cane but CD lifts Radon up and delivers a front suplex. With Radon down, Cane Deathscream starts to climb up the ladder.
JR: “Cane is trying to go up the ladder now, but wait a minute! Karl Baller is there on the other side of the ladder and is making his ascent as well!”
Rage gets to his feet and tips over the ladder before any of the two would make it up. Both men roll to the mat safely but just had their opportunity to get the contract shortchanged by R.E. Rage. Outside the ring, we see TRD picking up the ladder and placing it between the ring apron and the crowd barrier. CJ Baller comes him from behind and delivers some hard punches to TRD. He lifts TRD up and bodyslams him on the mat. CJ Baller mounts TRD onto his shoulders and places him lying on the ladder he set up seconds earlier.
JR: “In a stroke of irony, The Real Deal lays prone on the ladder in which he just set up moments ago. CJ Baller is hitting TRD’s head hard with those closed fists and is not letting him get out of that ladder.”
RK: “Whatever CJ is thinking, I think it’s not gonna bode well for good ol TRD!”
CJ Baller slowly gets on to the apron and turns his attention back to TRD. He stomps him down on the apron before he turns around to see an incoming Andrew Radon. He stops AR with a shoulder block and sends him outside with a suplex. AR lands right onto TRD and there are now two wrestlers on top of the ladder.
RK: “Man, is that ladder gonna hold, JR?”
JR: “I have no clue, King but whatever CJ Baller is attempting to do on that top turnbuckle might makes things get interesting.”
CJ Baller is standing on the top rope and is facing the ladder, until someone puts his hand on his throat. The camera zooms out and it shows Cane Deathscream standing on the second rope while he has CJ Baller on his hands. He lifts him high up and chokeslams him onto the ladder where TRD and Andrew Radon were lying on. The sheer weight and force of the CJ Baller getting slammed into the ladder that already housed two wrestlers breaks the ladder in two and all three men are laid to waste on the outside of the ring.
JR: “OH MAH GAAWWWWWDDD!!! Cane Deathscream had the balance and strength to drive CJ Baller through Radon, TRD, and that steel ladder.”
RK: “Man, and I thought we needed four new tables. I guess we can add a new ladder to the X-WCW shopping list after this night is over.”
The three men seem to be not moving, just like Bombshell and Brett Rayne who are now being checked upon by a couple of X-WCW road agents that appeared in ringside a few minutes back. Inside the ring stood four men: Cane, Jack Blade, R.E. Rage, and Karl Baller.
JR: “After all the carnage this match has put through, King, four men out of the nine are left standing in the ring. On four corners they are looking at the other three and all four men are in the center of the ring! Karl Baller and Jack Blade are delivering punches to one another while it’s Cane Deathscream and R.E. Rage slugging it out on one end.”
Cane Deathscream takes Rage down with a hard throat thrust and waits for him to get to his feet before clasping his hand around Rage’s throat. Cane tries to lift Rage up, but Rage kicks him below the belt to loosen to hold on his throat. It clears out and Rage takes CD to the mat with a DDT. Jack Blade goes on spaghetti legs after KB delivers a forearm strike to his face. KB bounces off the ropes and takes JB down with a flying forearm smash. On the other side, R.E. Rage grabs the ladder and makes it lean on the nearby corner. There, he sends Cane Deathscream and CD hits back first onto the steel ladder. He delivers some punches and kicks to the nTo member before Cane fights back with some kicks to the midsection of Rage. Cane Deathscream grabs Rage by the throat and does the switch-er-roo. Cane tosses Rage onto the ladder while he is now facing the ladder and pummeling R.E. Rage on the corner/ladder.
RK: “Cane shifted the tide on that corner against Rage and this does not look good for Rage.”
JR: “On the other side, Karl Baller is primed to wait for Jack Blade to get to his feet. Blade is up, he gets a kick to the stomach from KB. KB with the bounce off the ropes goes for an axe kick but Jack Blade avoids it and delivers a stiff uppercut to Karl Baller.”
KB is stunned momentarily and TSJB uses this opportunity to toss KB to the outside of the ring. Cane tries to charge at Rage on the corner and the ladder, but Rage gets out of the way and delivers a single leg takedown on CD. Cane falters and falls face first onto the ladder. Cane is prone on the ladder, which is leaning on the corner of the ring, and Rage turns around to see an incoming TSJB. Rage catches TSJB with a boot to the gut and delivers a knee strike for good measure. He has TSJB on his hands and rams him towards the corner with CD. Jack Blade hits head on with the steel of the ladder and crumples on the mat while Cane Deathscream goes down on his knees and eventually falls as well.
RK: “I know you’d hate to hear this, JR, but I think Rage has got this one now!”
JR: “It would seem that way, King because R.E. Rage is the lone man standing in that ring as we speak.”
Rage looks up at the contract and grabs the ladder on the other side. He sets it up quickly and starts to move on up. However, we see Karl Baller standing on the apron of the ring. Seconds later, he leaps from the apron to the top rope, and from there he hops onto the ladder. KB is now on the same ladder as Rage.
JR: “Baller just made a huge leap towards the ladder and he got to it at the right timing! He has some superb athleticism!”
RK: “I think he can go to the Olympics for that high leap off the ropes and onto the ladder, JR.”
Rage reaches out for the contract, but KB is there on the other side to deliver some punches to the gut of Rage. KB climbs up one step and he gets a stiff shot from Rage on the head. Rage almost falls off the ladder, but he clutches onto the top of the ladder. At the same time, KB tries his luck to get the contract for himself. Seconds later, Rage grabs KB and rams him on the top step of the ladder to waylay his efforts of getting the contract. KB is dazed and Rage reaches out for the contract while he is free. He almost unhooks it, but KB delivers a hard punch right on the chin of R.E. Rage. Rage loses his grip of the contract and is floundering on the top of the ladder. Before he could hold onto something KB grabs him by the head before he takes him off the ladder with a headbutt.
JR: “HEADBUTT FROM BALLER! Rage crashes down off the ladder and KB is all alone!”
RK: “NOOOO!”
Baller reaches for the contract and he successfully unhooks it to win the match. The bell rings and KB’s music starts to hit the speakers. The fans are on their feet as KB climbs down the ladder with the contract.
THII: “The winner of the match…KARL BALLER!!!”
JR: “This was a very brutal and breath taking match to say the least, King!”
RK: I know what you mean, JR. I was on the edge of my seat for almost every minute of this match. However, we still got a lot more in store for everyone here in our 100th show.”
JR: “You are right, King. Folks, Ground Zero IV still has a few more matches for you to be shocked and awed so please stay tuned!”
Karl Baller celebrates his win inside the ring as GZIV goes to a brief commercial break.
X-WCW U.S. Championship
The Young One Sandy Drake vs. Sean Byrne (c)
X-WCW’s 100th show comes back and we get a shot at the announce table.
JR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV: The Return! Up next we will have the United States Championship on the line as “The Boston Rocker” Sean Byrne defends against “The Young One” Sandy Drake.”
RK: “These two are very talented JR, so this would be a fairly even contest.”
JR: “Let’s check out how this all transpired.”
***
The video package plays and we see Sean Byrne holding the US title on his shoulder while he stands on the stage. The clip slowly fades into a footage of him knocked out on the ring as we hear the following voice over.
SB V.O.: “Ever since I got this US title, people left and right tell me that I don’t deserve it. They tell me that I haven’t paid my dues.”
We see Bonito slapping Byrne hard on the face before it shifts into Byrne hitting a hard clothesline to take Bonito down. The video shows a slow motion clip of Bonito applying the anklelock on Byrne. We get to see a close up shot of Byrne struggling to get out of the clip.
SB V.O.: “But every time they say that I show them that I can prove them wrong, that I am what I say I am: A Champion.”
We see a clip of Byrne hobbling up and getting his hand raised by the ref after his Starrcade match with Mark Marlin. We get to see Sean Byrne shouting at the crowd while he hoists up his US title before the clip fades. The footage fades back in and we see Sean Byrne clutching the US title and staring at it. On the background, we see a dilapidated building and some lightning in the background. Slowly, Byrne looks at the camera before while his voice over hits again.
SB V.O.: “So tell me, go ahead, I didn’t pay my dues to get this title. My blood, sweat, and tears would prove you otherwise. I am a champion, and I paid a hard price for being one.”
The video fades into black before it goes back up to see TYO looking at the distance. He is in the same old background as where we last saw Byrne and we hear his voice over.
TYO V.O.: “I know what it feels like to be a champion…”
We see a clip of TYO holding the X-WCW Xtreme belt high in the air while he is standing tall inside the ring.
TYO V.O.: “At the same time, I felt how hard it was to get it taken away from me.”
The video shows TYO down and out inside the X-WCW ring before it shows the following words…
Warzone 35…
The video shows highlights of the four way elimination match for the no. 1 contendership for the US title. We see TYO delivering the ABB superkick on Seith in slow motion before we hear some commentary.
SB: “The ABB on Seith and both men are down! This is intense rockin action if I do say so myself!”
The video shows TYO getting the pin and he gets his hand raised by the ref soon afterwards. Enter some generic rock music into the video and we see Sean Byrne standing up from his seat and facing the ring.
SB: “Great, I’m going to like this match.”
The video fades to black as we see a parting shot of both TYO and SB staring at each other with the former inside the ring while the latter remains outside.
***
THII: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship!!!”
JR: “Well, SOMEONE had to have a Mike Adamle moment...”
RK: “Did it have to be her? I mean, she's hot, but is she REALLY blonde?”
“Top of the World” by All American Rejects plays as Sandy Drake slowly steps out, smirking as he raises an arm, looking around the group as he rubs his chin, smirking and posing to the crowd.
THII: “Introducing first, standing at Six foot and weighing two hundred and nineteen pounds...The Young One, SANDY DRAKE!!!”
JR: “Well, there's someone who's DEFINITELY confident of themselves....”
RK: “No shit, he ditched Karl Baller long ago, thinking he could go his own way, and look where he is, he has a shot. Mind you, it's not for a MAJOR title, but it works.”
JR: “Uhm King…I think that was The GREAT ONE…who now calls himself Andrew Radon who was a former partner of Karl Baller. Usually you’d know your facts. Are you sure that’s you Randal or did you and Mike Adamle switch bodies again?”
RK: “Haha…very funny. That worked on Terri but that won’t work on me.”
TYO slides into the ring, smirking as he sits up, flexing a bit and chuckling, looking around to the crowd for a moment before his music slowly fades out. Suddenly, ACDC BLARES out of the speakers.
JR: “Whoa, here's the champ now. Maybe he can smack some sense into a cocky Drake.”
RK: “Don't count out Drake though, he does have the quickness advantage.”
Sean raises the title above his head, taking a swig of the alcohol nearby as he chuckles, tossing it behind him before charging into the ring and sliding inside, standing up and staring down Drake, holding the title above his head as if to say “Here's your shot, take it.”
JR: “How's this for a pose off, Drake's cockiness just oozed away from him at that look.”
RK: “No, I think that's just a little brown stain on his leg...”
JR: “Really? You're just seeing things there...”
RK: “What? I can't crack a joke?”
Sean hands his title to the ref, who raises it above his head before showing it to Drake. Drake nods, a smile on his face as the bell rings and Drake slowly walks forward, extending his hand. Byrne shakes it before backing off and the two circle each other.
RK: “Just like a bad spaghetti western...”
JR: “This always happens, let's just see----“
Suddenly, Drake charges forward and attempts to hit Byrne with a clothesline. Byrne just ducks, sidestepping Drake on the run back before hitting a dropkick straight to Drake's chest. Drake falls as Byrne gets up, raising his arms and smirking.
JR: “And first shot goes to Byrne, stopping Drake.”
Drake stands up, looking over at Byrne before going for a tie up, Byrne getting him in a headlock, holding him before Drake bounces him off the ropes, shoving him away. Drake bounces off the ropes and ducks the shoulder charge before bouncing back and throwing his entire body onto Byrne, knocking him over before aiming punch after punch on Sean's face.
After a quick moment, Drake gets up, moving back and glaring at Sean as he slowly starts to get up, aiming a kick towards Sean's face, but Sean leans back, missing the kick before rolling over as Drake jumps over him before Sean quickly gets onto his feet and aims a dropkick at Drake.
RK: “And Drake eats a face full of Sean's feet with that dropkick!!!”
Drake groggily moves as Sean bounces off the ropes, sliding into Drake as Drake now falls outside the ring. Drake sits there for a second, trying to get his eyes back forward as he slowly stands up. He looks up as he sees Sean toss his own body over the top rope and land on top of Drake, the both of them spilling out on the floor.
JR: “And the ref starts his count....getting to four pretty quickly!!”
RK: “Ummm, doesn't the ref ALWAYS seem to count fast?”
Immediately, Drake gets up and starts to roll back in, getting to his feet as the ref gets to 7. Sean starts to get up to his feet, barely able to hold himself as he rolls into the ring before the 10 count. Drake stays back, letting Sean get up as Drake smirks.
JR: “Looks like Drake has a plan....”
RK: “Yep, and this one looks like it's going to hurt, BAD!!!”
Drake runs, using the rope as momentum as he attempts a superkick, which Sean ducks and waits for Drake to turn around, running SMACK into a clothesline.
JR: “And Sean has a lot in his tank!!!”
RK: “Let's just see if Drake can turn this around!”
Drake and Byrne slowly stand up, panting from the excursion of their match as Byrne bounces back off the ropes before tossing himself into Drake, hitting a flying Lariat before getting up and moving up to the top rope, wiping the sweat from his brow as he sits up there for a second.
JR: “The Rocker's going to the high rent district, let's see if this pays off!!!”
Sean leaps, aiming a Seanton bomb, but Drake puts his legs up, Sean's back landing on his knees as he curses loudly, rolling off and arching his back. Drake quickly gets up, having more energy than you thought.
RK: “And he eats knees, now Drake's got the advantage!!!”
Drake smirks, flexing his right leg a bit as Byrne slowly stands up before hitting him with a HARD Superkick!!
JR: “Oooh, the “Age Before Beauty”. He's going for the pin!! It's 1....2.....and 3!”
The bell rings as Drake stands up, raising his arms up a bit as he licks his lips.
THII: “Your winner, and the NEW United States Champion......”The Young One” Sandy DRAKE!!!!”
RK: “Well, he proved that he has the chops to keep the title.”
JR: “Yeah, but I expect that Sean will be right behind him at some point, waiting for that rematch.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as we see TYO celebrating his win.
We are shown Cyberstrike about to grab the contract when Eamon X punches him in the gut and that stuns him! Eamon X tries to grab the contract but Cyberstrike slams his head into the top of the ladder! We then see Cyberstrike attempts to get the contract but Eamon X grabs his arm and slams it into the top of the ladder!
JR: “Neither one of them is going to let the other get the contract!”
RK: “Come on Cyberstrike!”
Suddenly a figure jumps over the guardrail and quickly slides into the ring and pushes the ladder over sending both Cyberstrike and Eamon X crashing through the tables near the entrance ramp!
JR: “I don’t believe my eyes it’s Tony Bonito! Bonito is back!
RK: “What is he doing here?!”
Bonito repositions the ladder and climbs it and grabs the contract! The referee signals for the bell!
JR: “I don’t believe what happened after these two gave us everything they had and to have it taken away from them all because of that no good son of a bitch Tony Bonito!”
RK: “Damn him! Damn him to Hell! You’re going to pay for this outrage Bonito that I promise you!”
The video fades as Bonito tosses the contract over the prone bodies of Eamon X and Cyberstrike.
Backstage
We go backstage and we see Tony Bonito and John Crook. The cameras zoom out and we also see Cole Ryan with them.
CR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV! I am here backstage with the X-WCW CEO John Crook and the X-WCW World and Heavyweight Champion, Tony Bonito. So what are your plans for tonight’s matchup?”
JC: “Plans? What other plans do we need to have than to dominate the competition? We don’t care who the hell this Team XS is Cole. Point blank, I’ll tell you that me and Tony will sweep them on the floor. In me, you got the greatest mind in the X-WCW, a man who has yet to be pinned or forced to submit in that very ring. In Tony, you got the best of the best. He is the greatest professional wrestler in the history of this industry and no one should deny that fact.”
CR hands the mic over to Tony Bonito who directs his attention to the camera.
TB: “You just saw the latest ‘greatest’ moment in X-WCW history that involved me, Cole. Just like at Starrcade: Extreme, and just like any show I’m on…I’m bound to make an impact. Tonight, me and John will not only win, but we will make an impact. Now, aint that nito?”
Before Cole could ask again, both men leave the area.
X-WCW Championship
Tag Team Throwdown
Team XS vs. John Crook & Tony Bonito (c)
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the 100th show of the X-WCW, Ground Zero IV!!!”
RK: “Right now is time for our main event, JR! OH BOY! The suspense is really killing me. I still have no clue who Team XS is!”
JR: “Right now, let’s show the audience just how this match got into fruition in the first place.”
***
The video package opens up with a clip from the past.
Vendetta 3…
The video package shows a black and white footage of D-Extreme and Chris Back inside the same ring.
JR: “These two, regardless of their friendship, really put a good fight tonight against each other.”
RK: “You said it, JR!”
Both men shake hands before they go to separate corners to pose with their belts. The clip goes to slow motion as both men celebrate with their respective belts. However, the sound changes as a record being scratched and we see a full colored and real time clip of Tony Bonito hopping off the railway in black t-shirt and jeans.
JR: “what in the blue hell?!”
The footage shows TB getting into the ring to blast CB from behind with a chair and eventually hitting him with the Nito Plex.
JR: “NITO PLEX!!! BAH GAWD!!!”
The footage shows CB down on the mat and it skips to where D-Ex attempted to deliver a big boot to TB. TB makes the big man fall down to a chop block on the legs and we see D-Ex being hit hard on the knee with the steel chair.
JR: “Oh my goodness…this is just wrong!”
RK: “Bonito knows about D-Ex’s injury on that knee, JR. Well, EVERYONE does…”
Bonito grabs D-Ex’s right leg and starts to apply the ankle lock on him. D-Ex quickly taps out to the move but Bonito continues to lock it on the big man. Bonito does a leg scissors on D-Ex and lies on the ring while he still has the submission move.
JR: “Will someone please just stop this heinous attack on D-Extreme?!”
The footage fades as TB continues to lock the move on D-Extreme.
X-Rumble…
The footage comes back with Bonito and Christopher Back’s match. We reach the part with Bonito smashing a light bulb over the head of CB before the bell rings.
JR: “9…10!”
RK: “Thank God it’s all over!”
TB: “We’re not done yet!”
JR: “Oh NO! What else can these three do!”
The footage shows Brett Rayne and R.E. Rage pick up Mr. Back and toss him over the ring ropes Back is handcuffed by Rage while Bonito goes and pulls down the gas-powered weedwacker and he turns it on! Rage and Rayne step away from him! Bonito puts the wire blade of the weedwacker on Mr. Back’s chest, and the video fades to black as we hear the agonizing scream of Chrstopher Back that was in unison of JR’s usual “BAH GAWWWWWD!!!”
The footage comes back on and we see turning the weedwacker off and he drops it. We see a shot of Bonito’s grin as we hear his voice over.
TB V.O.: “Now we’re done!”
The footage fades as we see CB being attended to by the EMTs.
Warzone 34…
We see John Crook on the X-Tron as he makes an announcement.
JC: “I have an announcement that concerns all 6 of you and also for the fans in attendance. At Starrcade: Revolution, the main event will be the X-WCW World Championship match featuring Karl Baller, Ignavus, Otacon, Cane Deathscream, Tony Bonito, and Andrew Radon! Furthermore, all six participants will compete under a Rage in a Cage: Sinister Six Elimination match!!!”
We see shots of all six men at ringside, all are shocked to hear the match and it’s stipulations.
JR: “BAH GAWD KING! Did you hear that?!”
RK: “The cage is back, JR. Remember the last time that structure reared it’s ugly head?”
JR: “It has been 4 years King, and now it’s back thanks to John Crook.”
Starrcade:Revolution…
We see the steel structure being lowered in the ring, at a height of twenty feet high with a two foot high truss on top of the cage. The video fades to black for a few seconds before it comes back to show Karl Baller and a waiting Tony Bonito
JR: “We’re down to the final two Karl Baller and Tony Bonito!”
RK: “Both men have been through Hell tonight!”
The footage shows various clips of KB and TB battling each other inside the steel structure before it shows a slow motion footage of Karl Baller delivering an axe kick on TB that sends him face first onto the laid X-WCW World Title Belt. We see KB pinning TB for the pin.
JR: “One..two…what the hell?!”
RK: “The lights have gone out in the arena!”
We see a man with black pants, boots, shirt, overcoat and a ski mask. The video goes black and white when the man hits KB with an inverted DDT. The video package skips over to the part where an unconscious Karl Baller is trapped in Nito’s ankle lock and cannot respond to the ring official, forcing the man to call for the bell.
TH: “KARL BALLER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED BY KNOCK OUT AND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH AND NEW X-WCW WORLD CHAMPION TONY BONITO!!”
JR: “I don’t know what to say, other than Baller got screwed big time!”
We see the Revolution members escort TB to the outside and celebrate their win.
Warzone #35…
The footage opens and we see the nTo locker room where the nTo plus Cyberstrike and D-Extreme discuss a few matters.
CB: “The most dangerous tag team in the history of this business, it took a lot of convincing but they have agreed to come to Ground Zero IV, but only if they can challenge Crook and Bonito in the main event for the X-WCW Championship.”
D-EX: “On Nitro #25 you will challenge any member of the Revolution to a cage match and add the stipulation that when you win you pick the main event for Ground Zero IV. And in the unlikely event that you lose the nTo will disband forever. The rest of you will make sure that there are no screw jobs.”
D-Ex: “The most feared team in history.”
CB: “I almost feel sorry for Crook and Bonito when they get into the ring with those guys, they’re crazier than anyone in this company.”
Cane looks up and smiles at his friends.
CD: “On Nitro #25 the Revolution won’t know what hit them.”
D-EX: “Excellent!”
Nitro 25…
The footage goes to Nitro 25 where we see Cane Deathscream inside the ring.
CD: “As you guys saw last Warzone, our dear friends Chris Back and D-Extreme came to visit us with an important message. Aside from that, they disclosed to us the names of the returning tag team to the X-WCW. That tag team I’ve mentioned wants a special tag team match at Ground Zero IV”
The footage skips to John Crook already in the ringside area with Cane.
JC: “I don’t care, quite frankly, about the mind games D-Extreme and Back are trying to play.”
CD: “Right now, I’m going to give you an opportunity to shut me and the nTo up for good. I challenge ANY of the Revolution to a special one-on-one match. If I win, I get to pick the main event of the next PPV…Ground Zero IV.”
While we hear Cane speak, we see the GZIV logo before it shifts back to John Crook.
JC: “That’s good to hear Cane. Now let me ask you this, what will we do when you LOSE?”
CD: “Quite simply, the nto will disband..FOREVER!”
The footage shows the Xtreme Cage while we hear the voice over of Crook.
JC V.O.: “So the one who will seal your fate tonight will be The Renegade. Oh, and in case you are wondering Cane, it will be inside an XTREME CAGE MATCH!!”
We see shots of The Renegade Ron Michaels and Cane Deathscream separately before we hear the voice over of Cane.
CD V.O.: “Crook, it’s a deal. And Renegade, tonight, prepare to meet hell, fire, and brimstone.”
We see a brief clip of the match between TRRM and CD before it ends with Cane Deathscream delivering the Deathkneel on TRRM.
JR: “Cane has the Renegade up and OH MY GOD!”
Cane and the Renegade off the ladder and right through the table, Cane is able to twist his body and land on the Renegade and goes for a pin.
RK: “Hook of the far leg, one…two…three Cane wins!”
The video fades momentarily as the referee raises Cane’s hand. The footage skips and we see Cane Deathscream with a microphone on his hand. Inside the ring, we see TB holding Otacon with the ankle lock.
CD: “On Ground Zero, it’s gonna be you and John Crook vs Team XS in a tag team throwdown match!”
TB, looking satisfied, releases Otacon while the rest of the revolution look at the stage where Cane is standing. Bonito has a smirk on his face before he snatches the mic from Renegade’s hands.
TB: “That’s more like it Cane. Team XS, I do not care who the hell they are, but tell them they have to be ready for me.”
The footage fades to black as we see Bonito pointing at Cane on the stage
Doubleshot #17
We see Flash Stryker and Xille inside the ring while FS has the mic in his hand.
FS: “As Xille said, the two of us are back here with a vengeance. If anyone wants to know why, it’s because at Ground Zero fo..”
The footage goes black and white as we hear the Revolution music in the background and the faction itself appears ringside.
JC: “We know why you two are here, Xille and Stryker. If it’s not obvious already to you or the fans, I figured it all out! Xille’s name starts with X while Stryker’s surname starts with S. At Ground Zero IV, Stryker, we know that you two are Team XS…and what excuse will you tell us now, you two are NOT Team X-S?”
FS: “Mr. Crook, I’ll be honest when I say that we are NOT Team X-S. We are going to be the special guest referee and time keeper of the main eve…”
He is cut off yet again as John Crook interjects.
JC: “BULLSHIT! Your names are too coincidental to say you are not Team X-S. Xille and Stryker, you guys should have waited for Ground Zero IV to come along instead of going here tonight.”
JC looks behind him and smirks at the sight of “The Renegade” Ron Michaels, Powermaster, and Bombshell.
JC: “Boys…GET THEM!”
The video shows the Revolution beating down on Stryker and Xille. With the damage done, we see Crook with a mic.
JC: “Cane, you see what the Revolution just did to your precious Team X-S?! LOOK AT IT! THEY WERE DESTROYED! THEY WERE DECIMATED! You were stupid to let them enter the arena before Ground Zero IV, and now your chance of revenge has gone away. Now what would you want to say about this?”
JC and the rest of the Revolution watch as Cane’s image appears on the X-Tron and actually has a smile.
CD: “What I have to say is this Crook, never jump to conclusions. It just so happened that the names of Xille and Flash ring X-S to people. However, they were who they said they were. They are not Team X-S. Hell, they don’t even KNOW who Team X-S is. I know who the two people are, but we just have to wait till Ground Zero IV. Looks like you lose this round Crook.”
The footage fades as we hear Cane Deathscream laugh in the background. The footage skips to a clip of a recent house show where we see D-Extreme and Tony Bonito.
D-Ex: “On Ground Zero IV, you are right, I will be a witness in your match. I’ll witness as one team will take you and Crook out. I’ll be watching as that team will make both of you pay for all the crimes you did to me, to Chris, and to all of those you two have wronged for the past 2 years in the X-WCW. Just like what you did to me, they will not only win, but they will take away something you hold dear. Those two belts of yours, hold on tight to it cause they will be shipped off from your shoulders soon.”
TB looks at his two belts one by one before he shakes his head at D-Extreme. D-Ex smirks and nods.
D-Ex: “Deny it all you want, Bonito, but just like everyone else who goes to the top…they would fall down sooner or later. You are on borrowed time, Tony, you and Crook.”
D-Ex slowly lifts the hand that is holding the mic and listens closely to his wrist watch while he says “TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK” in front of Bonito. Bonito looks shocked and shakes his head in reference of him keeping the title instead of the other way around. Soon, the video starts to play “Are You Ready” by Hazen Street as the clip slowly fades.
“We talk about it, Now be about it,”
The video shows John Crook walking confidently down the rampway before it shifts to him laughing inside the ring.
“It's not so hard to scream and shout it,”
We then see a clip of Bonito on the turnbuckle raising both of his belts before shouting “YEAH”
"Everybody's so down when it's safe and sound,"
The video shows Bonito locking the ankle lock on someone before it fades into…
“You wanna prove something, WELL DO IT NOW!!!”
The clip goes back to the D-Ex and TB clip where TB attacks D-Ex in the ring.
“Are you ready, So are you ready,”
We see Bonito hitting a moonsault from the top rope before it shifts to him hitting a forearm smash on Chris Back.
"Are you ready(are you ready), Are you ready(are you ready)"
The video footage shows Tony Bonito and John Crook raising each other’s arms in victory.
“Are you ready(are you ready), Are you with me or not?”
We see Bonito locking the ankle lock before it fades. The video goes on to show D-Extreme close up in the ring as he lies on his belly.
D-Ex V.O.: “TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK! Your time is almost up Bonito…hahahaha….TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK!”
The video shows Bonito glaring at D-Extreme from the stage. Bonito starts to shout at D-Extreme while the video fades to black.

THII: "The following match is your Ground Zero IV main event and is a special Tag Team Throwdown Match for the X-WCW World Championship! Team number one representing The Revolution from Chicago, Illinois he is the current X-WCW CEO John Crook and his tag team partner from Boston Massachusetts, he's the current and reigning X-WCW Champion and World Heavyweight Champion Tony Bonito!”
Both Bonito and Crook come out to ringside as "Fury of the Storm" by Shadows Fall plays in the background. The two men are booed heavily by the crowd as the camera shows Crook dressed in black pants and a black tank top. He walks with a confident swagger and has a big grin on his face. Tony Bonito is wearing red, white, and blue trunks with straps and he has the X-WCW Championship title belt around his waist and the new World Heavyweight Championship title belt over his shoulder, he walks confidently down to the ring as the fans chant: "You Suck!" at him he doesn't seem to care. He gets in the ring and unfastens the X-WCW Championship title belt and climbs to the second turnbuckle and holds it in his left hand and the World Heavyweight title belt in his right.
JR: "Tony Bonito's gonna have his hands full in this match, not only can he lose the X-WCW Championship if he's pin or if he submits but he can also lose if Crook is pin of he taps out."
RK: "Now wait minute here Crook knows how to win a match his victories on Warzone and on Doubleshot shows he knows how to win a match and with his partner Tony Bonito, a former two time X-WCW U.S. Champion, a former X-WCW IC Champion, X-WCW World Tag Team Champion, and is a former two time ACW Champion, not to mention his Olympic victory. And this is the guy who put both D-Extreme and Christopher Back on the shelf. This is one hell of a team I don't think Team XS have wrestled in over 8 years!"
Before Terri Hotbody can make the introductions for the nTo founders Crook grabs the microphone out of her hand.
JC: "Get lost you dumb bimbo! Cane I know you're back there with the rest of those losers called the nTo..."
Before Crook can get another word out of his mouth "Deadly Games" plays and Cane Deathscream, Raven Darkstorm, Alec Lightstar, The Real Deal, and Josh Leyh all come out each wearing the new "nTo back together again and better than ever!" t-shirts. Cane has the microphone and the fans chant "nTo! nTo!" Cane smiles and holds the mic towards the crowd and the rest of the nTo point to their shirts and this gets the crowd even more excited.
JC: "I'm going to make this simple so you and the rest of the idiots here can understand: who are we facing?"
Cane smiles, then speaks:
CD: "Indianapolis the nTo is in THE HOUSE!"
The crowd pops big time for this and Crook and Bonito just look annoyed.
JC: "Enough with the cheap pops and ten years old catch phrases and answer the question NOW! Or as God as my witness I will fire all of you right now!"
CD: "Don't get your panties in knot because after these guys get through with you; you'll need to change them!
First originally from parts unknown now residing in Charlotte, North Carolina he's the one and only the real Xtreme One...D-EXTREME!!"
"No Chance" by Dope plays as D-Extreme comes out wearing an "nTo the band is back and better than ever!" t-shirt, and a black pants, and he is greeted with a thunderous standing ovation!
JR: "D-EXTREME IS BACK AND HE LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER!"
RK: "You don't suppose his partner is..."
CD: "And his tag team partner from right here in Indianapolis, Indiana CYBERSTRIKE CHRISTOPHER BACK!"
The fans come out of their seats and they chant: "Welcome back!" at both of them! Cyberstrike also comes out wearing an "nTo the band is back and better than ever!" t-shirt, a long black trench coat, and a black pants. Both men high five the other members of the nTo as they head back to the locker room as Crook stutters something into his microphone.
JC: "Cane you said that Christopher Back wasn't one of them!"
CD: "That is true that I said Christopher Back wasn't one of them, but I never said anything about Cyberstrike Christopher Back!"
D-Extreme and Cyberstrike run into the ring and Crook and Bonito bail out of the ring to the floor. "Cyberstrike" Christopher Back pulls out a microphone from a pocket of his trench coat.
CSCB: "It's great to be back! Crook I knew you never accepted this match if you knew that you and fish face Bonito would be facing me and D-Extreme but now let’s up the ante shall we?"
Back pulls a piece of paper and a pen out of his trench coat and tosses it at Crook.
CB: "Crook you have something that is mine and I want it back I want the CEO position of this company again, so I had that contract drew up when me and D-Extreme win this tag team match not only will one of us walk out of Indianapolis the new the X-WCW Champion, but I'll also get you job! In the unlikely event that we should lose I'll leave the X-WCW and never come back ever!"
Crook and Bonito look at the contract and Crook walks over the announcer's table and signs it. He yells something at James Russell and then he replies.
JC: "You got a deal!"
Bonito and Crook head over to their corner and get on the ring apron. Crook demands to start the match, Back takes his trench coat off and D-Extreme starts for his team. Referee Sid Greene signals for the bell. D-Extreme stares at Crook and grins. Crook runs off the ring ropes and hits D-Extreme with a running shoulder block, it doesn't work. D-Extreme just stares at Crook. Crook tries again but he gets D-Extreme's boot in his face! Crook crashes to the mat hard and D-Extreme picks him up and places him in a bear hug and rams into his corner where he tags in Cyberstrike Christopher Back and fans goes nuts! But Cyberstrike is all business he nails Crook with a Breakdown out of the corner and points to D-Extreme. D-Extreme falls to the floor and Back rolls out of the ring and they each grab leg of John Crook and they pull him into the ring post, then they quickly slam each of his legs into the ring post!
JR: "For the last few shows we've heard how violent and ruthless this mysterious Team XS that Cane and the nTo were always talking about. I've never seen D-Extreme and Christopher Back this ruthless before!"
RK: "Imagine what Back is feeling for weeks he was in a coma after that brutal Hell's Chamber match, the doctors told D-Extreme that he might never wake up and when he woke up the first thing he heard was that Tony Bonito was the X-WCW Champion!"
JR: "This match is so personal for both of them remember that Bonito shattered D-Extreme's kneecap and it was thought that he might never be able to walk much less wrestle again. You can only imagine what they have in store for Bonito, if they can get hold of him."
Cyberstrike rolls back into the ring and tags in D-Extreme who picks up the defenseless Crook like a rag doll and tosses half away across the ring near Bonito and stands there daring him to tag himself in.
JR: "D-Extreme wants Bonito to tag himself in."
RK: "Bonito looks confused like he doesn't know what to do!"
JR: "He better do something because D-Extreme and Cyberstrike could finish Crook off easily and walk out of here as the new X-WCW Champion!"
RK: "Don’t forget that Crook would lose his job as CEO!"
Bonito finally tags in and he locks up with D-Extreme. Bonito kicks D-Extreme in the gut and goes for a Nitoplex, but D-Extreme quickly gets free and tries for an X-Octution but Bonito is able to shove D-Extreme into the ropes, when D-Extreme bounces off of them, Bonito leaps over him and D-Extreme grabs the ropes and quickly grabs Bonito and puts him into a Sleeper hold but Bonito nails him a few quick elbow jabs to the gut and breaks the hold. Bonito bounces off the ropes and D-Extreme is able to kick him in the face and he then points “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back and he tags himself in. The crowd erupts with applause and Bonito gets to his feet and sees his nemesis coming towards him he runs to corner where John Crook is finally back up to his feet and Bonito quickly tags Crook in and rolls out to the floor.
JR: “I think Bonito doesn’t want to face Mr. Back again!”
RK: “Can you blame him?! He put Mr. Back in a coma for six months! Mr. Back wants revenge.”
Crook and Bonito are arguing on the floor when from out of nowhere Mr. Back jumps hits a Cross-Body-Block on both of them! He grabs Crook and tosses him back into the ring and D-Extreme begins to beat up on him. Meanwhile Mr. Back takes Bonito and tosses him head first into the guardrail he then slams his head into the nearby ring steps! Back then tosses Bonito into the ring and D-Extreme picks him up and drops him snake-eyes on the turnbuckle pad and then sets him up for an Xtreme Factor! At the same time Mr. Back takes John Crook and sets him up for a Breakdown!
JR: “A Breakdown and an Xtreme Factor! That’s it…wait they’re not going for the pin!”
RK: “This could be a big mistake!”
Back picks up Bonito and D-Extreme picks up Crook and they nail them each with an Overdrive and an X-Ocution but the referee was too close and he accidently gets kicked by D-Extreme! D-Extreme and Mr. Back signals for the X-S Mark 2, but just then before they can do anything to their fallen opponents the crowd parts as Sean O’Con and Erik Summers jump the guardrail and slide into the ring behind D-Extreme and Cyberstrike. The two turn around and O’Con nails Christopher Back with a Superkick and Erik Summers nails D-Extreme with a Rock Bottom.
JR: “HOLY SHIT! IT’S SEAN O’CON AND ERIK SUMMERS! WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE?! ”
RK: “THOSE TWO SLIMEBALLS ARE HERE TO COST MR. BACK HIS JOB AND D-EXTREME THE X-WCW CHAMPIONSHIP! SEAN O’CON JUST NAILED BACK WITH A SUPERBACK AND ERIK SUMMERS JUST DROPPED D-EXTREME WITH THE GAME OVER THAT ROCK BOTTOM MOVE HE USES!”
Sean O’Con grabs Bonito and drapes an arm over Mr. Back while Erik Summers drags the referee, who while groggy is able to make a count.
JR: “One…two…Mr. Back kicks out of it!”
Erik Summers is so furious he nails the referee with a
Game Over, this allows Bonito and Crook, both of whom are now back on their feet instruct Erik Summers and Sean O’Con to beat up Back and D-Extreme while they quickly slide out of the ring and get the title belts from the announcers’ table. Bonito has the X-WCW Championship title belt in his hands while Crook has the World Heavyweight Championship title belt in his hands. Sean O’Con pulls D-Extreme up by his hair and holds him up for Bonito to nail him with a running belt shot, while Erik Summers does the same for Mr. Back for John Crook. Tony Bonito and John Crook each run across the ring and at the last split second both D-Extreme and Cyberstrike duck and Crook and Bonito take out Erik Summers and Sean O’Con with the belt shots instead. The force of the collision knocks Sean O’Con and Erik Summers out of the ring and then Cane Deathscream, The Real Deal, Alec Lightstar, and Raven Darkstorm all come running down and Cane and TRD grab Erik Summers and StarStorm grabs O’Con and they all start brawling back to backstage area.
RK: “The nTo has taken out the trash!”
JR: “Get those losers out of here!”
All the while in the ring Christopher Back picks up John Crook and nails him with a Crackdown and goes for a pin and D-Extreme revives the referee enough for him to make a three count.
JR: “One...two…no! It’s broken up by Tony Bonito!”
RK: “Tony Bonito almost lost the X-WCW Championship!”
D-Extreme hits an X-Ocution on Tony Bonito but doesn’t go for the pin instead he signals for an X-S mark 2! Mr. Back drags Crook into the center of the ring and D-Extreme positions Bonito on his back with Bonito facing toward Back as he climbs to the turnbuckle pad and Bonito’s head right is right above his chest and Back jumps off and he grabs Bonito’s legs and he pile drivers him into John Crook!
JR: “That is the X-S Mark 2 that inverted stuff pile driver a move so dangerous that have never done on live TV before!”
RK: “Crook and Bonito are down for the count!”
Mr. Back pins John Crook and D-Extreme covers Tony Bonito and the referee counts three!
THII: “The winners of the match “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back and D-Extreme: Team X-S!”
As “No Chance” by Dope plays the referee hands the X-WCW Championship title belt to Mr. Back who quickly asks for a microphone! He stands up and places the belt on the mat and as the EMTs come and carry Crook and Bonito out of the ring. Mr. Back faces D-Extreme and he begins to speak.
CSCB: “Almost seven years ago in this very building and in this very ring after we threw out Y3B and then I had to pay millions of dollars to have Bombshell digitally replaced that bastard because he’s crybaby. It was just me and you and I jumped over the top rope and landed on the floor and you were crowned the first-ever X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion. One of the most asked questions that I gets asked is: why did you that? I did it because even though I own the X-WCW it’s a company where the best talent rises to the top. I got what I really wanted which was to get the CEO position again, then that means I’m very proud to present…”
D-Extreme grabs the microphone from him.
D-Ex: “Wait a minute here! What you did seven years ago was one the greatest things that anybody ever did for me and I will always be grateful for that. When I was given the chance to be the first X-WCW World Champion at that early part of my career, I took it as a big opportunity. But that was then and this is now. Me and you we have done it all we’ve held tag team titles in every company that we’ve been in and we have damn neared killed each other in every kind of crazy match you can think of, but if you think that I going to accept my third X-WCW Championship title on a silver platter, that will not do both of us justice! Now my estimate we have about 30 minutes left on this pay-per-view so how about this: D-Extreme versus “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back ONE MORE TIME; no weapons, cages, ladders, tables, chains, no nothing, just you and me in a good old fashioned wrestling match. C'mon Chris, me and you. ONE-MORE-TIME!"
The fans start chanting: “ONE MORE TIME!” D-Extreme hands the microphone back to Mr. Back and he looks around the Conseco Field House and finally responds.
CSCB: “You got it! Just understand that we go for thirty minutes and if there is no winner then the title is declared vacant!”
JR: “We got another match its D-Extreme vs. Christopher Back one more time!”
RK: “This night just got a lot more interesting!”
JR: “We’re going to quick break so we can get the ring cleaned up but when we come back it D-Extreme vs. “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back for the X-WCW Championship!”
A promo for Bloodbath 4 is shown. Black and white images of matches from the previous Bloodbath pay-per-views are shown.
VO: “It’s a night of pure violence and hatred. There is no forgiveness and there is no remorse for those who cross their paths.”
Images of Bonito and the Revolution beating up Otacon, Karl Baller, and Sean Byrne are seen and then images of the nTo members fighting the Revolution.
VO: “The war between the nTo and the Revolution will come to its apocalyptic finale as X-WCW presents Bloodbath 4: Apocalypse. And may God have mercy on their souls.”
After the promo we cut back to the ring where D-Extreme and “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back are waiting with Terri Hotbody.
X-WCW Championship
“Cyberstrike” Christopher Back vs. D-Extreme
THII: “The following match is set for one fall and has a thirty minute time limit and is for the X-WCW Championship! Challenger number one standing on my right he is originally from parts unknown, now residing in Charlotte, North Carolina, he is D-Extreme!”
The fans cheer wildly as he holds up his arms.
THII: “And challenger number two standing on my left from Indianapolis, Indiana he is “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back!
The fans cheer wildly as he holds up his arms. Referee Sid Greene signals for the bell and D-Extreme and Cyberstrike have a quick hand shake and the match begins. The two lock up in the center of the ring and D-Extreme puts Mr. Back into a Side-Head-Lock. Mr. Back quickly breaks free and shoots D-Extreme into the ropes. D-Extreme ricochets off the ropes and tries to nail Mr. Back with a shoulder block but he jumps over D-Extreme’s head and bounces off the opposite ring ropes and heads towards Mr. Back again. This time Mr. Back goes for a Side-Hip-Toss but D-Extreme reveres it and he throws Mr. Back to the mat instead. As Mr. Back sits up D-Extreme kicks him in the back, stunning him long enough to attempt to go for an X-Ocution but, Cyberstrike is able to fight out and pushes D-Extreme into far side ropes. D-Extreme bounces off the ropes he met with a Missal-Drop-Kick that sends D-Extreme to the mat. Mr. Back goes for a pin but D-Extreme gets a shoulder up before a two count.
Mr. Back is already back and he points for a turnbuckle and he goes for the top rope but D-Extreme quickly springs up to his feet and nails him with a punch to his back and quickly gets under him and drops him with a Running-sit-out Powerbomb and goes for a pin but only gets a two count before Mr. Back kicks out of it. D-Extreme picks up Mr. Back by the hair sends him into the corner with an Irish-Whip, he quickly follows that up with a running Close Line, but Mr. Back gets his feet up and D-Extreme runs face first into his boot. D-Extreme staggers around as Mr. Back gets up onto the middle rope and drops D-Extreme with a Bulldog! It takes Mr. Back a few seconds to get his bearings and roll D-Extreme onto his back and go for a pin but he only gets a one count. Mr. Back helps D-Extreme get up to his feet and D-Extreme drops him with desperation Jaw Breaker! Mr. Back is stunned and D-Extreme nails him with short-ranged close line and both men are down.
JR: “1…2…3…Randal I just got told by Keith in the truck that when you add up all the titles that these two have held in every federation they’ve been in its 14 titles each!”
RK: “Wow and the winner of this match gets to break the tie! 4…5…6”
JR: “I think it’s more personal that for D-Extreme, for years he’s wanted to prove that he’s the better wrestler of the two. That’s why he challenged Mr. Back to this match. And make no mistake Mr. Back wants to be the first man to ever hold the X-WCW Champion five times! The ref is up to seven!”
RK: “Also remember that these two have some of the most violent matches in this company’s history. Eight!”
JR: “The ref is up to 9…finally both men are up to their knees!”
D-Extreme is the first one to get back to his feet and he Powerslams Mr. Back and he quickly climbs to the top rope and does a Moonsault and Mr. Back rolls out of the way at the last split second. It takes Mr. Back a few seconds to get back up to his feet and this allows D-Extreme enough time to sit up and Mr. Back bounces off the rope and nails D-Extreme in the face with Drop Kick and he goes for a pin but only gets only a two-count. Mr. Back quickly rolls D-Extreme on his stomach and he goes for a Front Face Lock to ground him.
D-Extreme is able to get his knees and he is able to do some quick jabs in the gut to make Mr. Back break the hold. D-Extreme quickly nails Mr. Back with a Face Jam and goes for the pin but only gets a two count before Mr. Back powers out of it. D-Extreme picks Mr. Back up and hits with some Knife-Edge Chops and he Irish-Whips chest first into a corner, stunned Mr. Back walks backwards out of the corner and D-Extreme nails him with a Crackdown and goes for the pin!
JR: “D-Extreme just nailed Mr. Back with a Crackdown and he’s hooked the far leg…one…two…kick out!”
RK: “I don’t believe it!”
JR: “You don’t believe it?! The look on D-Extreme’s face says he doesn’t believe it!”
As D-Extreme argues with the referee and backs him into a corner, Mr. Back gets back up to his feet and he spins D-Extreme around and kicks him in the gut and nails him with an X-Ocution and goes for the pin.
JR: “One…two…kick out!”
RK: “What can these guys do to each other that the other hasn’t seen or done before?!”
Mr. Back picks up D-Extreme and throws him into a nearby corner and places him on the top rope. Mr. Back sets up D-Extreme for a Breakdown off the top rope but D-Extreme starts fighting back and sets up for a Rock Bottom off the top rope but Mr. Back elbows him to break the hold and he sets up D-Extreme for a what looks like a Rock Bottom on to the ring floor but instead he flips the both of them into the center of the ring and the fans start chanting “Holy Shit!” at them.
RK: “What a move! Both men are out in the center of the ring.”
The referee starts the ten count.
JR: “One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight….nine….ten! The referee calls for the bell!”
RK: “A double count out means we have no X-WCW Champion!”
THII: “Since neither man answered the 10 count the match is ruled as a draw and the X-WCW Championship is vacant!”
RK: “What a shocking development!”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen we’re out of time for Randal King, I’m James Russell. Goodnight!”

X-WCW TV Championship
Weapons match
Nightmare vs. Mike Magnus (c)
RK: “Speaking of historic, our next match takes us to have a little history lesson here JR.”
JR: “Indeed, King. It’s Nightmare against Mike Magnus. As we all know, Magnus is the current reigning Television champion of the X-WCW and Nightmare has had a good run in the past as the Xtreme champion. The two collided with each other only recently. Let’s take a look.”
*********
The video package shows the following footage
Doubleshot #17…
We see a clip of Mike Magnus getting his hand raised after winning his match.
JR: “I gotta admit, it was a fast match as you said King. But that might mean more action will be reserved for us tonight in this Doubleshot show before Ground Ze..OH MY GOOD LORD!”
The video footage shows Nightmare and Rayne Bloodstone attacking Mike Magnus from behind.
JR: “Nightmare and Rayne Bloodstone just sneaked up from behind and attacked the Television Champion!”
The clip then skips over to the part where Rayne Bloodstone has Mike Magnus and Nightmare sends him down with a vicious chairshot over the head.
RK: “ARGH! That was one sickening thud!”
JR: “Goodness! This isn’t right, what did Mike Magnus do to deserve such a beating the likes of this?”
The footage shows Nightmare pointing at a ladder outside the ring.
RK: “oh no, don’t tell me they will use THAT ladder!”
Rayne shoves the ladder inside the ring and Nightmare starts to set it up. Rayne Bloodstone climbs back into the ring and sets up the table while NM ascends the ladder. Mike Magnus is getting put on the table and is pummeled momentarily until NM makes it on top of the ladder.
JR: “Nightmare is on top and he goes crashing down off the ladder with a moonsault on Mike Magnus! BAH GAWD!”
RK: “Whoa, talk about how one man is going through extreme measures to give a statement here tonight.”
JR: “A demented and sick human being Nightmare is, King.”
The video fades until we see a new one. This time, it’s Nightmare delivering his triple jump moonsault on CJ Baller.
JR: “THE FEAR!!! The triple jump moonsault has been delivered by Nightmare on CJ Baller and he hooks the leg for the pin. 1-2-and oh my…Nightmare just got pulled out of the ring by…MIKE MAGNUS?!”
RK: “Did he just climb out from under the ring JR?!”
JR: “I-I believe he did!”
Magnus delivers some stiff right hands to the face of Nightmare before he tries to send him into the ring steps. Nightmare blocks it and delivers a back elbow to the face of his enemy. Eventually, both men start to punch it out with each other on the outside while the referee tries to call Nightmare’s attention to go back into the match.
JR: “Mike Magnus and Nightmare are now taking the fight into the crowd! Someone better call security cause we gotta stop that pier 6 brawl there.”
The footage fades until we hear Nightmare’s voice over.
NM V.O.: “Mike Magnus…Don't think I would forget about that, you run in and steal my thunder, when all I wanted from you was to make an example out of you. But instead of an example, you became a thorn. A rather LARGE thorn."
While we hear Nightmare’s voice over, we see replays of Mike Magnus and Nightmare brawling outside the ring while inside, The Renegade gets the win over CJ Baller.
NM V.O.: “So guess what, you don't know what's about to come after you. But now, you'll know. I am coming after YOU, your title, and Your LIFE!!!”
The footage ends with Nightmare smirking at the camera.
****
The camera shifts to the ring with Terri Hotbody II inside the ring with the mic
THII: “Ladies & gentlemen, the following contest is a weapons match, it will have a 30 minute time-limit and it is for the X-WCW Television Championshiiiiiiip!! The rules are simple, weapons are legal and you may use them whenever you want, but you may only win the match by pin or submission inside the ring! Introducing the challenger…”
Mixed reactions from the crowd are heard as “Ladies & Gentlemen” by Saliva hits the speakers. About 12 seconds into the song, Nightmare comes through the curtains with a steel chair in his hands. He looks to be twitching a bit as he walks by the crowd ignoring the fans that want to shake his hand. He slides into the ring, and raises the chair as if he has already won the upcoming battle.
THII: “From your living Nightmare…standing 5’11 and weighing in 180 lbs…NIIIGHTMAAAARE!!!”
JR: “This guy is a psycho path. He came into the X-WCW relatively small, but he has bulked up and gotten even more dangerous than before. Before it was tough for him to lift superstars up so he used his speed and agility, but now add a little power to his game and you have a complete threat in Nightmare.”
RK: “I like this French fry…he is as ruthless as they come. The champ better watch out.”
“Ladies & Gentlemen” cut off and “To The Pain” by Nonpoint replaces it.
THII: “And his opponent…”
The crowd gets on their feet and starts a “Maaagnuuuus” chant. The Television champion comes onto the stage with the title around his waist and his hands raised high. Magnus shakes his head in anger and charges down to the ring.
THII: “Representing Baltimore MD, standing 5’10 and weighing in at 217 lbs…he is the X-WCW Television Champion…..MIIIIKE MAAAAAGNUUUUS!!!!”
JR: “The television champ has had this title for some time now King, ever since Starrcade: Revolution. He has defended it night in and night out; this will be a great challenge for him though. Lets see how well he does tonight.”
He unfastens his belt as he slides into it and throws it at Nightmare, who in turn throws the chair at Mike. The weapons collide…and so do the superstars as the two begin trading punches.
RK: “Whoa…yeah! Lets get it on!”
The bell rings, but both superstars are already going at it as they continue to trade punches, but it looks like no one is tiring down. Punch after punch, the two rivals continues to beat each other down, until a Magnus punch is blocked. Nightmare hits Magnus with two lightning fast punches to his face, followed by two lightning fast kicks to each leg, and an upward elbow that hits Magnus dead in the chin. Magnus doubles back and Nightmare takes him down with a spinning roundhouse kick!
JR: “BOOM, a vicious kick to Magnus! What is he doing now?”
RK: “He is going for a ground headlock now JR.”
As Nightmare tries for the quick submission, Magnus attempts to power out of it and stop himself from tapping out. The TV champion flails around a bit, but finally finds a way to get on his two feet. Nightmare still has a headlock, and he shows his wrestling skill by executing a headlock take down, but he lets go and grabs Magnus’s left arm. Nightmare attempts a fujiwa arm bar, but Magnus grabs Nightmares arm and pulls away from Nightmare. The two get back on their feet and standoff.
Mike Magnus and Nightmare begin to circle each other, and Nightmare breaks the suspense and charges at Mike. Mike ducks and hits the ropes, but both superstars slide out of the ring. Mike goes under the ring and pulls out a stop sign; he slides back into the ring only to find Nightmare inside with a Yield sign! They circle each other until Mike Magnus flings the stop sign like a Frisbee. Nightmare, who is caught off guard and hit on the top of his forehead, drops his yield sign on the ground and MM takes advantage of by running and ddting NM headfirst onto the yield sign! He attempts the first pin of the match.
JR: “1…2…thr-kickout!”
RK: “Whoa, Magnus was half a second from winning this match.”
Mike wastes no time and mounts NM. He throws MMA like elbows at Nightmare and connects with 2 clean blows to the forehead. Nightmare’s head bounces off of the mat from the impact and Mike starts throwing a flurry. Nightmare is hit with a few, but blocks a few as well. This goes on for a bout 10 seconds until Nightmare finally catches an elbow and sends a quick and hard open palm to Mike Magnus’s nose. Magnus is caught off guard and falls off of Nightmare. He rolls over a bit and lies on his back holding his nose.
Nightmare crawls towards the ropes and slowly gets up. The challenger looks a little groggy, but he shakes his head as he gets himself back together. Meanwhile, Magnus is also up, but you can see blood dripping from his nose. Just then, Nightmare charges at Mike and hits him with a quick 1-2 punch followed by a side kick to his opponents ribs. Nightmare takes Magnus down with a Judo throw right after that. Mike finally lets go of his nose and you still can see blood flowing down like a waterfall.
RK: “The champs nose might be broken JR. This is not good!”
JR: “You are right King, Nightmare is like a shark as well, he smells blood and takes advantage of it.”
As if JR was speaking to Nightmare, he wastes no time and bounces off of the ropes and connects with a knee drop to Mike’s face. The challenger lands on Mike’s nose so Magnus starts to flail around. Nightmare gets up and hits Nightmare with a standing knee drop this time only to get the same thing. The television champ screams in agony as Nightmare punishes his opponent.
The TV champ is helped up by the hair and then is taken back down by a snapmare. This time though, Nightmare locks in a chin lock, then pulls up and squeezes on Mike’s nose! The referee dives towards the two superstars and asks Mike if he is ready to submit, but the champ stays strong and screams no.
JR: “This is bad King. Nightmare is putting pressure on Mike Magnus and his injured nose, this much pain applied could cause Mike to pass out.”
About 30 seconds into the hold, you can see Mike reaching for the yield sign. Nightmare continues to put pressure on his opponents nose, but Mike’s hand is pulling the sign towards him. Nightmare has gotten into the submission hold and doesn’t notice, but Mike Magnus now has the yield sign in his grasp. With every piece of strength in him, the television champion hits his challenger on the top of the head with the yield sign.
Nightmare lets go and gets up holding his forehead and backs up. Mike does the same; blood dripping down his nose and everything he looks ready to seize this opportunity. With the yield sign in hand, he charges Nightmare who is backed into the ropes. Mike then slams the yield sign on Nightmare again; only this time the challenger falls through the middle ropes.
Mike Magnus rubs his nose a bit and heads over to the ropes looks at Nightmare slowly getting to his feet. Mike pulls on the ropes then vaults over them! Nightmare finally gets to his feet only to be hit with a flying body and grounded once again.
RK: “Mike is not playing any games with this guy! He wants to stay the X-WCW TV champion and he will do anything to keep that title.”
JR: “Mike is the first one up and he is helping Nightmare to his feet.”
After two knee strikes to the gut, Nightmare is tossed over the barricade and into the crowd. Mike follows behind and hits Nightmare with clubs to the back. He turns Nightmare around and sets him up for a suplex, but Nightmare pushes off and hits a vicious European uppercut that connects dead on Mike Magnus’s chin. The champ staggers back and Nightmare starts to go through the crowd.
Mike follows and catches up to Nightmare. He attacks the challenger and the two superstars trade blows as they head through the crowd. No one really has the upper hand as the two trade punches while taking a tour of the Indiana field house. Nightmare blocks a punch and sends a chop that connects on Mike’s neck, he then grabs one of the X-WCW fans replica X-WCW United Stats championship belts and nearly takes Mike’s head off with it.
Mike is on the ground as Nightmare helps him up by the hair and pulls him back towards the barricade. When they get close, Mike reacts and pushes Nightmare with hopes that he will crash into the barricade, but Nightmare uses cat like reflexes and jumps on top of it. Mike wastes little time and hits a running drop kick that connects right on Nightmare’s backside, and the challenger goes flying and hits his head on the ring apron. Mike Magnus grabs his bleeding nose and climbs over, but as he walks towards Nightmare, you can see he starts to move sluggishly.
JR: “Looks like losing all of that blood is taking its effect King.”
RK: “Yup. Looks like the fat lady is getting on the stage for poor Magnus.”
The champ groggily goes under the ring and pulls out a 6 set of florescent light tubes. As he gets up, Nightmare is sliding into the ring, so he slides the tubes into the ring and tries to copy his opponent and slide in also. When his feet almost get from under the bottom rope, Nightmare stops Mike Magnus in his tracks with a senton splash landing on the back of his head! The champ rolls over holding his nose once again, but this does not stop the challenger from his attack. Nightmare hurries out of the ring and heads over to the announcers.
RK: “What the hell is this sicko doing JR! Hey back away from me. I said get awa-*static*”
Nightmare pulls Randall King out of his steel chair, takes it from him, and tosses it over the top rope. The challenger then climbs into the ring and locks in a basic crossface. The referee checks to see if Mike Magnus wants to give up. Does not oblige and tries to rip his way out of the crossface. Nightmare does not let go and pulls back even harder which causes a scream from the TV champion. However the champion quickly rolls this into a simple roll-up pin attempt!
JR: “Roll-up! 1…2…thr-NO! Nightmare has kicked out just in the nick of time!!”
The two superstars get up and charge each other. Nightmare goes for a clothesline, while Mike ducks and pulls his opponent down for another roll-up!
JR: “1…2..early kickout.”
Both get up again, but this time Nightmare attempts a standing hurracarrana. As he attempts the flip, Mike uses his strength to stay standing. He then lifts Nightmare back up all the way for a powerbomb attempt, but the challenger attempts his move once more. This time, he connects, but he stays sitting and wraps Mike’s legs into a pin.
RK: “1…2..new ch-NO! The champ kicks out!”
The two superstars get up, but they both roll out of the ring and go under it at the exact same time. When both superstars pop back out, they slide back in with a weapon of their choosing. Nightmare has a kendo stick in his left hand and Mike Magnus has…the exact same weapon in his right. The two look at their respective weapons and then at each other. With a sick smirk on Nightmares face, they begin to circle the ring.
JR: “Nightmare holds his kendo stick out and points it at Magnus.”
RK: “This reminds me of a good old texas stand off JR, with kendo sticks instead of guns though.”
Nightmare takes to quick steps forward and dodges a vertical swing from Magnus, he then swings it at Mike’s ribs, but the champ blocks the attack with his own stick. Mike hits Nightmare with a right hand and swings wildly at his opponent. You can see that Mike’s movements are a little off and slower this time, but he blocks a horizantal swing from Nightmare. As the two trade blows, Mike’s bloody nose has formed a painting like stain on his stomach already.
A tired and groggy Mike Magnus swings it again, only this time Nightmare ducks and slaps Mike’s hand that holds the stick. The challenger then hits a vicious kick to Mike’s left shin, which causes the champ to end over. NM shoves the front of his stick into the ring then swings it upwards, smashing right into Mike’s nose and breaking. This causes the champ to jump up as he grabs his nose in utter pain. The challenger then picks up the other kendo stick and hits the same type of strike, only this time it connects onto Mike’s groin. The champ drops onto both knees and grabs his groin, exposing his nose.
JR: “This is not looking go-OOOOH BAH GAWD!!!”
RK: “WHOA A GO TO SLEEP BUZZSAW KICK FROM NIGHTMARE!!! RIGHT IN THE NOSE IT’S OVER!!!”
Nightmare nearly took Mike Magnus’s head off with his Got To Sleep kick after the champ dropped to his knees. The challenger looks at his opponent and attempts a pinfall.
RK: “1…2…3, its over! What a vicious showing from these two!”
“Ladies & Gentlemen” by Saliva hits the speakers and the crowd give a mixed reaction. Teri Hotbody II makes the announcement as emt’s come to help Mike Magnus.
THII: “The winner of this bout by pinfall…and NEWW X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPION…NIIIIIIGHTMAAAAAARE!!!”
JR: “Well King, Nightmare has captured the X-WCW TV championship for the first time in his career. He showed the world that he means business with this victory though.”
RK: “Exactly JR, this was a great match. After he noticed Mike’s bleeding nose, he did not stop attacking it, and in the end it won him the match
Nightmare is handed the title and he raises it in the air with a smirk. He then climbs out of the ring puts the title over his shoulder before heading up the ramp-way. Mike meanwhile gets helped out of the ring and towards the back.
JR: “This was a great match, but the night is not over. More action coming your way!”
*****X-WCW’S GREATEST MOMENTS*****
Warzone 21
Warzone 21
We see the Final Frontier members, having recovered from their previous beatings to some degree, moving themselves into the laid out members of the nTo red (Cyberstrike and D-Extreme).
JR: “1…. 2…. 3! NEW CHAMPIONS!”
The bell rings, and the fans erupt for their new champions!
TH: “Here are your winners – and the NEW X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
JR: “In two straight matches, the nTo duo has lost both tag team title match. However, king, this is historic. Final Frontier has done the impossible and defeated X-WCW’s fiercest duo to date!”
The video fades as we see SFM and AJ celebrate their win for the International Tag Team Titles
******************************************
X-WCW World Tag Team Championship
The Lost Boys vs. The Final Frontier(c)
X-WCW Ground Zero IV comes back from the sold out Conseco Feildhouse in Indianapolis Indiana.
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to Ground Zero IV! Up next, we have the tag team titles on the line as the defending Champions Final Fronteir will take on The Lost Boys.”
RK: “You know JR, if you told me that a match like this would happen about a year or so…I’d never believe you. I mean, The Lost Boys? Rocky Davis’ goons actually a legit threat to the tag team titles? Well, they did just that and proved their case as a real threat as they will face the tag team champs.”
JR: “Let’s see how the match transpired before tonight.”
****
We are taken to a video package for the tag team title match
Nitro #24…
The video starts off with Autobot Jazz delivering the Statis Lock on R.E. Rage and goes for the pin.
JR: “STATIS LOCK! What a powerful knee strike to the head of R.E. Rage. Here is the pin 1-2-3! FINAL FRONTIER DID IT!”
THII: “The winners and NEW X-WCW Tag Team Champions FINAL FRONTIER!!!”
Final Frontier receive their newly won tag team belts from the referee. Both SFM and AJ raise their tag team titles in victory before the clip fades out and we hear a voice over from Autobot Jazz.
AJ V.O.: “We stand here before you and the world as the X-WCW Tag Team Champions. Once again the we are the trend setting, record breaking, tag team to beat. We are now 4 time tag team champions. No other team in the X-WCW has accomplished this. Now we're not here to brag. We'll let our actions speak for themselves.”
While we hear AJ’s voice over, we see the following clips:
- Autobot Jazz hitting a well executed dropkick to the face of Brett Rayne
- SciFi Man delivering a splash from the top rope on Raven Darkstorm
- AJ and SFM delivering a double DDT on Bombshell
The footage and the voice over both fade as we see Final Frontier pose with their belts inside the ring. The footage comes back and we now see The Lost Boys getting their hand raised by the referee.
THII: “Here are your winners, and the Number 1 Contenders to the X-WCW Tag Team Championships, THE LOST BOYS."
The scene fades before we see a shot of Final Frontier and The Lost Boys inside the ring.
SFM: “Lost boys, it doesn’t matter what you bring in this match with you cause in the end, the good guys always win. We do not let evil doers get their ways, especially not get their way through our belts.”
Mike: “That’s all good and whatnot about your good guy/bad guy speech fellas. However, it’s a sad truth that we will beat you and we will defeat you for those X-WCW tag team titles on Ground Zero IV: The Return. You know why it’s called ‘the return’, fellas? Mark, tell ‘em why.”
Mark: “It’s because those tag team titles will return to glory when it gets in our waist.”
Both teams stand up and go face to face. In the middle of it all, RNR just sit down and look uneasy upon realizing the impending brawl inside their set. Slowly, Mike Daniels lifts his mic.
Mike: “Oh and one more thing guys, here’s a little going away present for you.”
Mike Daniels slams the mic right into the face of SFM and it instigates the in-ring brawl. “Are you ready?” by Hazen Street starts to play as the brawl continues in the ring. The scene fades before we see the following clips with the respective lyrics from the song.
“Are you ready to die for us, are you willing to lose your freedom?”
- AJ sending Mark Daniels to crash on the TV set
- Mike Daniels slapping the face of SFM hard
“Are you ready, are you with me or not”
- Final Frontier walking down the rampway with their tag titles
- The Lost Boys looking at the outside of the ring while motioning for the belts
“Cause I'm going all out so SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!”
We see SFM hitting the spiral vortex before the video package fades with the Final Frontier posing with their belts on the stage.
***
We go back to ringside with Terri Hotbody II to introduce the match
THII: “Ladies and gentlemen, following tag-team contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60 minute time-limit, and it is for the X-WCW WOOOORLD TAAG-TEEAAAAM CHAMPIOOONSHIIIIIIPS!!!!”
The crowd pops tremendously for another championship bout.
THII: “Introducing the challengers…”
“Feed My Frakenstien” hits the speakers and the walking giants known as The Lost Boys emerge from the curtains. The two receive a negative reaction from the crowd, but they just look angrier as they walk down the ramp.
JR: “This match is fixin to be a nail biter King. These two attacked each other viciously at Doubleshot, at least before RNR jumped in and settled everything down.”
RK: “Ya know JR? I actually think The Lost Boys are going to tear through those science convention chumps we have for tag-team champions. I use to laugh at them because I thought they were both mentally retarded…but they have acted different lately.”
JR: “…..”
THII: “From parts unknown, both supserstars stand at 6’10 and weigh in at 350 lbs…MIKE & MARK DANIELS…THEEEE LOOOOOST BOOOOOOOOYS!”
The Lost Boys both enter the ring from the same side and climb over the same top rope, you can see the anger in both of their eyes as they stare at the ramp-way and await the tag-team champions. As they stand there patiently, the crowd jeers turn into cheers as “No More Words” by Endeverafter hits the speakers.
THII: “And their opponents!! From Seattle Washington, standing 6’2 and weighing in at 225 lbs…SCI-FI MAN!! And his tag-team partner, from Melbourne, Florida, standing 6’4 and weighing in at 230 lbs…AUTOBOTTJAZZ, THEY ARE…YOUR X-WCW TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS…FINAL FROOOOOONTIIIIIIEEEER!!!”
Final Frontier comes out of the curtains, their X-WCW tag-team titles around both their respective waists. The two waste no time and charge down the ramp, then slide into the ring. The Lost Boys meet their smaller opponents in a brutal stare down. Before anything can happen, the referee gets into the middle and separates the two teams.
JR: “I have never seen Final Frontier look so furious King! They want revenge for that cheap attack from those large hooligans.”
RK: “Cheap attack!? Final Frontier verbally assaulted them, if they wanna talk the talk, they better be able to walk the walk JR.”
FF unfastens their belts and hand them to the referee and he holds them up. Mark taps his brother on the back and Mike leaves the ring. Final Frontier looks at each other and nod as Autobottjazz leaves the ring. When it is only the two legal men left, the referee rings the bell and the crowd starts off a “Sci-Fi” chant.
The two circle each other for about 10 seconds before an initial tie-up. Once they do, Mark easily over powers Sci-Fi Man and slams him into the mat. SFM rolls over and gets back to his feet, then the two circle each other again. They tie-up again, but the same fate happens as SFM is thrown to the matt once again. He scurries back to his feet and nods his head as Mark Daniels taunts him. The two circle each other again and tie-up for a third time, but this time SFM locks up MD’s right arm and turns it into a hammerlock.
RK: “For once the nerd does the right thing. To bad it won’t be like this for long, I heard that SFM couldn’t even lift 20 pounds so this hammerlock won’t last long.”
JR: “I beg to differ, Sci-Fi Man is pretty strong.”
Mark taps his right arm and tries to power out of it, but SFM puts his dead weight on and tries to hold it in. Mark tries the next best thing and sends elbows, but they are too high! After about the 5th try, Mark scores with an elbow to SFM’s head and the tag champ lets go. Mark turns around and sends a huge big boot to SFM’s chest, which takes the wind out of him and sends him down! Mark spots this and attempts the first pin-fall.
JR: “1…really early kick-out by Sci-Fi Man. The force from the boot was insane King! You can see the brute power that rests in these twins.”
Daniels helps SFM up and sends some clubs to the back, then locks his smaller opponent into a headlock. He stomps the mat then violently shakes SFM in the headlock and Mike Daniels comes into the ring! He runs and kicks SFM in the ribs while he is in the headlock which causes the boo’s from the crowd and the referee to restrain him.
JR: “That cheating son of a b…”
RK: “WHOA JR! Watch your mou-WHOAAA!”
JR: “GOOD GOD WHAT A KICK TO THE CHIN!!”
As the referee was pushing Mike back to his corner, AJ came in through the middle ropes, charged and hit a vicious superkick to Mike Daniels’s chin; MD lets go of SFM and drops onto his back and SFM catches his breath. AJ climbs back on the outside and SFM attempts a pinfall.
JR: “1…2…kickout by Mark Daniels! I thought it was over after that kick to the chin, Mark didn’t even see it coming.”
SFM gets to his feet and notices Mark trying to do the same thing. SFM quickly runs into the ropes, comes back, and hits a vicious running drop kick to the side of Mark Daniels head. Mark drops from all fours back onto the ground. SFM drops a knee on the back of MD’s head and Daniels turns over. Sci-Fi Man then hits the ropes and jumps onto the second one. He then executes a catapult moonsault from the middle rope onto Mark. With Mark clutching his ribs, SFM wastes no time and helps up his enemy by his head, but keeps him bent over.
SFM sends 3 vicious knees to the face of MD, the third one standing him up and dazing him. SFM hits the ropes then takes down MD with a flying forearm to the face. He kips up and pulls MD by his left leg towards SFM’s corner. As he gets closer, Mark Daniels right leg reacts and kicks SFM square in the nose. The tag team champ backs up a bit and that gives Mark enough time to get back on his own two feet. He does a quick step to SFM and picks him into a sidewalk slam position.
RK: “This guy is freakin strong JR! He is carrying SFM to his corner.”
When MD gets close enough to his corner, he turns around and executes a vicous sidewalk slam that shakes the ring. The challenger gets up and tags his anxious brother Mike Daniels into the ring. AJ chants “WATCH OUT!!” as the Daniels brothers both pick Sci-Fi Man up. The two hold him up in a military press position then launch him up in the air a little bit. As SFM goes up, the two quickly get down on one knee and extend the other. Poor SFM lands back first on both knees!
JR: “An innovative double back breaker King! That was vicious, these guys are showing me something new, and although they are conniving and destructive bastards, they are giving the tag-team champs their money’s worth.”
Mark leaves the ring and Mike Daniels continues his assault on his opponent. Mike starts to toy with SFM and tells him to get up. SFM does that and Mike scoops him up for a quick body slam and then he slams SFM to the ground. Mike Daniels laughs loudly and picks Sci-Fi Man up, then gives him the same treatment from before and scoop slams him again.
MD slowly helps SFM up again and repeats this for a third time. He then poses to the crowd and laughs as they boo him to next year. The Daniels twin does not care as he helps up a lifeless looking Sci-Fi Man to his feet again. He scoops him up for another body slam, but SFM starts to try and wiggle out. The crowd chant “SCIII-FIIII” in unison as it seems like SFM is going to reverse it. Unfortunately for the X-WCW’s resident superhero, SFM gets scoop slammed once again!
Mike Daniels picks him up again, looking as cocky and confident as ever scoops him up for another body slam. SFM starts to wiggle out of it again though.
JR: “Mike is getting to cocky now King, he is giving Sci-Fi a chance to get out of this and doesn’t even know it.”
RK: “You fool, slam him now before he escapes!”
Mike holds him up and puts him on his shoulder to display his strength, he then holds SFM with one hand. This does not work out for him though because SFM wiggles free and lands behind him. SFM staggers back a bit and Mike tries a spinning elbow attack. SFM ducks it and notices that Mike spun all the way around and has his back facing SFM. Sci-fi takes a page out of a certain frizzled hair apple eating Puerto Rican and takes MD down with a back stabber!
Both superstars are stunned on the mat as the crowd start an “AJ” chant. SFM comes to and crawls to his corner, while Mike rolls around and holds his back. SFM gets to his corner and tags in Autobot Jazz, which causes the crowd to erupt. SFM rolls under the bottom rope and onto the floor as AJ hops over the top rope, runs and hits a raising knee on Mark Daniels who is on the ring apron and knocks him off.
AJ turns around and spots Mike getting back on his feet, but he is holding his back. AJ taunts him and Mike charges him. AJ drops and takes down the challenger with a drop-toe-hold and Mike’s face bounces off of the mat. AJ gets up to his feet the same time Mike does, but the challenger attacks again with no provocation. AJ smirks and takes him down with a quick arm drag. Mike gets back up and gets another one. Mike gets back up and charges AJ again, this time though; the champ leapfrogs the 6’10 wrestler.
JR: “Mike hits the ropes and comes back into a standing drop kick!”
RK: “Did you see the air AJ got on that one JR?”
JR: “He almost touched the Heavens bah gawd.”
AJ wastes no time and helps his opponent to his feet, but Mike pushes AJ off of him. He attempts a haymaker, but AJ ducks it and sends 2 right hands to Mike’s face. AJ then gets behind him and jumps on his back to lock in a sleeper hold. The giant challenger tries to violently shake AJ off of his back, but AJ holds on tighter.
You can see Mike’s eyes turning red as he drops to one knee. Meanwhile, SFM looks recovered from the beating he took from the Daniels brothers as he is seen on the apron cheering his tag-team partner on. The crowd gets into it more as Mike drops down to all fours. All of a sudden, Mike gets a second wind and gets back on both feet. He then charges into Final Frontiers corner and AJ lets go. Mike then walks into a hard punch to the side of his temple from Sci-Fi Man. It stuns him long enough for AJ to climb to the top turnbuckle.
JR: “Autobot jazz is going to fly King!”
RK: “A flipping neckbreaker! How innovative from somebody so bland.”
AJ mounts Mike and sends some vicious blows to the head. He then helps him up and hits him with his Energon Drainer finisher! He attempts the final pinfall.
JR: “1…2..thr-NO it is broken up by Mark Daniels!”
As Mark gets back up, SFM jumps onto the top rope and takes his opponent down with a flying hurracarana! The crowd cheers loudly as the referee gets to them and tries to bring them back to their respective corners. Meanwhile, while the referee has his back turned, AJ starts to help Mike Daniels to his feet, but the big guy sends an uppercut right to AJ’s money maker.
JR: “NO, THAT CHEAP TACTIC! DON’T LET IT END LIKE THIS!”
RK: “HA, HIS ENERGON IS REALLY DRANING NOW JR!”
Mike helps his opponent up and sits him on the top turnbuckle. He then climbs to the top and takes AJ out with a frankensteiner! Mike attempts a pinfall.
RK: “YOU STUPID REF, PAY ATTENTION!!”
Mike awaits a pinfall count, but no one is doing so. He turns around and sees him trying to restrain Mark and SFM. Mike charges and hits SFM with a big boot square in the back of the head, and it looks like he is knocked out cold. The referee tries to grab Mike to leave SFM alone, but Mike lightly pushes the referee off of him. He starts to drag the superhero to Mark, but the ref gets his in face again. This time though, he starts to distract him.
Mark reaches SFM and helps him up while he is on the apron. He then suplexes the already ko’d SFM out of the ring!
JR: “This is now a 2 on 1 match-up King, it isn’t looking good for Final Frontier.”
RK: “Finally, those boring scrubs will lose the titles!”
Mike finally stops and rushes to AJ who is still down and attempts another pinfall, this time with the refs attention.
RK: “1…2…New cham-NO! IMPOSSIBLE!”
JR: “AJ KICKED OUT!”
To his dismay Mike looks at AJ and has no idea what to do. He grabs AJ up by his head, but AJ fights back with punches to the ribs. After about the 7th one, Mike lets go. AJ continues throwing punches; the crowd gets behind him as he fights Mike off. After he stuns him, he kicks Mike and DDT’s him! AJ gets back up and side steps an incoming shoulder block from Mark, he then turns MD around and sets him up with a stasis lock. The champ displays his strength as he connects with it!
Next, he turns around and spots Mike recovering. He helps him up and tries to set him up as well, but Mike never allows it to happen and he haymakers the hell out of AJ, taking them both down. Mike gets back up and helps revive his twin from the Stasis Lock. Mark looks a little woozy, but he seems like he is ok. The Daniels brothers help AJ up and connect with a double choke slam. The referee screams at Mark to leave the ring and he does.
Mike then decides to help AJ up and brings him to the turnbuckle again. The challenger climbs onto the top and executes a perfect frankenstiener again! Only this time, he does not attempt a pinfall. Mike heads to his corner and tags in his brother Mark.
JR: “This does not look good for AJ.”
RK: “Heh, and his stupid partner is knocked out. I guess superman got kryptonite stuck up his nose huh JR? hahahahahaha.”
Mark comes in and puts AJ on his shoulders, then sets him up on another turnbuckle. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits him with another frankenstiener. With that one, he attempts a pinfall.
JR: “Bah Gawd, two frankenstieners! Here is the pin!”
RK: “1...2…3, its over! New champions, finally!”
JR: “Damnit, after all of their cheating, they finally did it. I hope someone knocks their blocks off sooner rather than later!”
RK: “That’s no way to treat the tag-team champs!”
“Feed My Frakenstien” hits the speakers as Terri makes the announcement.
THII: “The winners and NEW X-WCW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE LOST BOYS!”
Mike gets into the ring and hugs his brother as the referee gives them their belts. The two raise them in the air to pure boo’s. They smirk and laugh as the EMT’s come to help SFM.
JR: “This was a brutal match, and in the end justice was NOT served at all.”
RK: “Oh boohoo JR, cry me a river. The best team won and you know it.”
JR: “Whatever…that is not true at all. They cheated to get those damn belts.”
RK: “So, they never got caught.”
The new champs leave the ring and flaunt their titles at the fans closest to them as they head up the ramp-way.
JR: “Well guys, this pay-per-view is only heating up. More action coming your way.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
X-WCW comes back from the commercial break and we pan over to the announce table with JR and RK.
JR: “Welcome back to the 100th show of the X-WCW: Ground Zero IV!!! Up next is the Hell in a Cell match for the IC title…”
Suddenly “Superstar” by Saliva plays and Otacon walks down the ramp and the fans cheer wildly for him!
JR: “It’s Otacon! We haven’t seen him in months!”
RK: “He’s back and looks in great shape!”
Terri hands Otacon her microphone as the fans chant “Welcome Back!” at the former two-time X-WCW Champion!
OC: “Thank you for that warm welcome! I know I’m not scheduled to be here tonight but I wanted to be a part of this company’s anniversary celebration because of the wonderful…”
Before Otacon can finish his speech “Fury of the Storm” by Shadows Fall plays and Tony Bonito, who has a microphone in hand and he speaks in a bad English accent.
TB: “Look here, it’s the guy whose bloody arse I’ve kicked so many times that I’ve lost count is back and wants to celebrate his return. Look here guv, while you were back in England watching soccer…I mean football, wanking off to BBC shows, sipping tea, and shagging sheep, I’ve been doing your job! Kicking arse and a lot of taking a lot of bloody names! Now while you talk of making people bleed, me on the other hand I just make them bleed! Now I’m going to ask you this once get the hell out of my ring before I come down there and kick your bloody arse all over again!”
JR: “We apologize to our British fans for Bonito’s horrible British accent.”
RK: “I thought it was quite good.”
Otacon just stares at Tony Bonito for a few seconds.
OC: “You want me to leave? How about you come in here and make me…guv?”
Bonito drops his microphone and is about to enter the ring when X-WCW security comes and stops him.
Otacon screams into his microphone
OC: “What’s the matter Bonito? Worried about Team X-S kicking your ass all over Indianapolis? Well you should be because I know who they are and you already know that I don’t like you well these two guys hate you with a passion! Well tonight your ass is theirs, but starting tomorrow it’s mine! See you around guv!”
Otacon leaves the ring and walks up the ramp as X-WCW security hold Tony Bonito back. After Otacon and Bonito, leave the dreaded Cell is lowered around the ring as we cut to commercials.
*****X-WCW’S GREATEST MOMENTS*****
Royal Bash 2
Royal Bash 2
We see the last moments of the Royal Bash. Inside the ring, we see Eamon X, D-Extreme and BLASTER. Eamon X slowly gets in the ring as D-Ex is up. D-Extreme and Eamon X shake hands before they start exchanging punches nearby the ropes. D-Extreme smacks Eamon hard with a knee to the gut and lines him up for a powerbomb. He lifts him and directs him towards the edge of the ring. Eamon X somehow gets out of his grasps and lands infront of him. Eamon X hits a forearm on the head of D-Ex who spins around and realizes BLASTER is up and charges at both men. Before Eamon can see BLASTER coming, or D-Ex reacting, BLASTER clotheslines BOTH Eamon and D-Ex over the ropes, eliminating both men.
TH: “D-Extreme and Eamon X have been eliminated!”
The bell rings and BLASTER’s music plays through the speakers. BLASTER collapses in the ring and lies there for a while. He gets helped up by the referee who raises his hand.
TH: “THE WINNER OF THE 2004 X-WCW ROYAL BASH…BLASTER!!!”
The video fades as we see BLASTER celebrate his win inside the X-WCW ring.

X-WCW Intercontinental Championship
Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match
Joe Goldstone vs. The Real American vs. Seith Helloct (c)
JR: “Welcome back to the 100th show of the X-WCW, this is Ground Zero IV!!!”
RK: “Right now we will have the triple threat match for the X-WCW Intercontinental champion, JR. Well you also know that it’s inside HELL IN A CELL!”
JR: “Let’s take you back ladies and gentlemen to how this all transpired.”
***
Starrcade: Revolution…
The video package begins to play and we see the referee raising the IC title in the air
THII: “The following match is the finals of the 2008 Lord of the Ring Tournament and is a Last Man Standing Match for the vacant X-WCW Intercontinental Championship”
While THII’s voice is heard, we see the separate clips of Joe Goldstone and Rocky Davis’ entrances towards the ring.
JR: “Goldstone has destroyed every superstar he faced in the tournament and with his hatred of Rocky Davis CEO John Crook made this a Last Man Standing Match.”
RK: “Goldstone defeated Davis in a Street Fight. Davis has been hell-bent on avenging that loss!”
We see both men in the ring staring down on one another before we see highlights from their last man standing match. The videopackage shows a slow motion clip of Rocky Davis already recovered before he gets speared off his boots by Goldstone.
RK: “Told you he should have stayed down. Damn it.”
We then see the Lost Boys hop onto the ring and one of them deliver a taser shot on Joe Goldstone. Goldstone falls down. The clip skips to the part where the referee has counted 10 on Goldstone and gives RA the victory.
RK: “Well this marks a black day for sports entertainment, JR. Of all the people, it had to be Real American to win the IC title.”
The clip fades as RA gets the IC title from the Lost Boys and all three celebrate his win. We come back with Rock Davis standing over inside an empty gym while the IC title is draped around his shoulder. He looks at it and then smirks at the camera while he pats the belt. Just then, we hear his voice over.
RA V.O.: “I am, Rocky Davis, your Intercontinental champion and LOTR winner…”
We see clips of RA posing with the belt in various ringside areas while we hear a JR voice over.
JR V.O.: “Indeed, the Intercontinental Champ is not shy in showing how proud he is in being the said champ.”
The video fades and we see Joe Goldstone walking down the aisle, but from behind he is attacked by Rocky Davis
JR: “Bah gawd! Rocky Davis just blindsided Joe Goldstone from behind!”
RK: “That shot with the IC title on the back of JG’s head must have took the steam right outta him.”
RA stomps down on JG as the crowd boos in protest. Both men brawl until a horde of referees enter ringside and restrain both RA and JG.
JR: “You said it, Goldstone has to return to the ring so we can start this matc-OH GOODNESS!”
JG and RA both break off from their restraints and tackle each other. Both men continue to brawl onto the rampway until they reach the guard rail. Goldstone picks up RA and tosses him over the guard rail. With RA inserted into the crowd, JG enters the crowd as well.
RK: “It’s a pier 6 brawl!!”
Doubleshot 17…
The video fades as we see both men brawl in the crowd. The video comes back again with He lifts Seith Helloct to a vertical base before he sets him up for the crucifix powerbomb. However, Rocky Davis makes a pause as he notices someone on the stage.
JR: “KING! Look, it’s Joe Goldstone! He is watching this entire thing unfold on the stage.”
RK: “RA does not like this one bit. He wants Goldstone out of the ringside or something right now.”
RA glares at Joe Goldstone before he lifts Seith up for the crucifix powerbomb. However, Seith wriggles free from RA’s move and lands behind him. Soon enough he goes for a backslide pin on an unsuspecting RA. The referee goes to count.
RK: “He got a backslide on RA! 1-2-3! OH MY GOODNESS SEITH JUST WON!!!”
JR: “Thanks to the distraction by one Joe Goldstone, Seith Helloct not only steals the victory but he stole the match from RA! This is one interesting development indeed!”
The bell rings and Seith Helloct gets his hand raised in victory. On the stage we see Joe Goldstone applauding Seith’s win.
THII: “The winner and NEW X-WCW Intercontinental Champion: SEITH HELLOCT!!!”
The video skips to JG talking with a mic
JG: “Bravo. Good one Seith, but as I said before I’m gunning that IC title no matter WHO is holding it by the time Ground Zero IV comes along. So Seith, I challenge you for that title…IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH!!!”
The fans pop and they pop louder once Seith nods his head in agreement inside the ring.
JR: “A STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AT GROUND ZERO IV!!! King, that is going to be a very extreme outing for both men if I do say so myself.”
Rocky Davis shakes his head in disapproval and grabs a nearby mic.
RA: “NO! THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN!”
Goldstone and Seith look towards RA’s direction. The former champion points to himself with emphasis as he starts to explain.
RA: “As the former IC champ, I have the right to have a rematch..cause I have a rematch clause!”
RA grins proudly and the fans boo him for the confident smirk that the just did.
RA: “So in case I would have lost tonight, and lucky for Seith I did, I asked John Crook a few minutes ago and approved that my rematch at Ground Zero IV will be in a HELL IN A CELL MATCH!!!”
RK: “HELL IN A CELL?! Is he joking us JR?!”
JR: “With that serious look on his face, King, I am not sure.”
We see a backstage video of John Crook.
JC: “I’ve decided the following to take place at Ground Zero. At Ground Zero IV, Rocky Davis WILL get his rematch. In fact it will be Seith Helloct defending the IC title against “Real American” Rocky Davis AND Joe Goldstone in a HELL IN A CELL match. That way, all three men will be happy. Any more questions Cole? I’m busy preparing for my match if you do not know.”
We see shots of the hell in a cell structure while we hear JR’s voice over.
JR: “As you have seen folks, the IC title will be defended by Seith against both Joe Goldsotne and Rocky Davis in a hell in a cell match. So King we will have THREE men inside that demonic structure.”
The video then shows Seith Helloct standing behind an abandoned hangar. Slowly, he lifts up the X-WCW IC title into the air and looks at it while we hear his voice over.
SH V.O.: “Goldstone, Davis, on Ground Zero, I will give both of you HELL in that cell and prove to all why I am the Intercontinental champion.”
The clip shifts to Rocky Davis, who seems to be inside the hangar. He is looking menacingly onto the camera before we hear him as well.
RA V.O.: “Ground Zero, will be the Ground Zero for both Seith Helloct and Joe Goldstone. I will get back what is mine.”
He grits his teeth before the scene shifts to Joe Goldstone doing some punches and kicks in the air somewhere inside the empty hangar while we hear his voice over.
JG V.O.: “Hell in a cell, Joe Goldstone against two other competitors. The odds of me winning, huge, the odds of them surviving…slim to none.”
The video shifts to Joe Goldstone running towards RA and spearing him off his feet. We then see a shot of Seith Helloct hitting a DDT on Goldstone. The video fades after we see a clip of RA hitting Goldstone over the head with a steel chair.
JR V.O.: “THREE MEN, ONE CELL, WHO WILL GET OUT OF THERE WITH THE TITLE?!”
The video fades as we see Seith holding the IC title high in the air.
***
THII: “The following match is a Triple Threat Match, set for one fall and his for the X-WCW Intercontinental Championship First challenger number one from parts unknown Joe Goldstone!”
“Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed plays and Goldstone comes down. He gets cheered by the fans as he enters the Cell.
JR: “Goldstone was the one who called for this triple threat match to be contested inside Hell in a Cell.”
RK: “I think Goldstone is obsessed with Rocky Davis that is all he talks about anymore.”
JR: “I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s obsessed, but Goldstone is determined to become the X-WCW Intercontinental Champion.”
THII: “And challenger number two representing Carnage, Inc. being accompanied by Aries he’s ‘The Real American’ Rocky Davis!”
“Cocky” by Kid Rock plays and Rocky Davis comes down. The fans boo them as they make their way down the ramp and Aries holds the Cell door open for her man.
JR: “Do you think that Rocky Davis knows what he’s gotten himself into?”
RK: “I think he’s out to regain the X-WCW IC title belt and add it to the X-WCW Tag Team Championships that The Lost Boys won earlier tonight.”
THII: “And from Pensacola, Florida he’s the current and reigning X-WCW Intercontinental Champion Seith Helloct!”
“The Crows” by Dark Lotus plays and Seith Helloct comes down. Helloct comes down to a chorus of boos and when he reaches the door to the Cell he stares at it and walks in.
JR: “This is actually the second time that Helloct has held the X-WCW IC title. He first held it during our second House Wars Tour called Generation Next and he lost it on the final show of that tour in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match.”
RK: “But let remember that the two challengers he faced was Grandmaster E and Christopher Back. In that HSW match he was in there with two guys that knew how to use The Cell to their advantage, this time he’s facing two guys that to my knowledge have never been in or won a Hell in a Cell match.”
The door is closed and padlocked and the three men face each other and the referee signals for the bell and the match begins. Helloct and Goldstone start double teaming Davis. The two them punch and kick him into a corner Helloct holds his boot to Davis’ throat and he moves out of the way as Goldstone charges forward and he kicks Davis in the face! Goldstone pulls Davis up and Powerslams him in the center of the ring, while Seith is looking for weapons under the ring. He pulls out a trashcan, a steel chair, a table, a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire, a street sign, a pair of kendo sticks, and a ladder!
RK: “Good God! He’s in one of the most dangerous matches in the X-WCW and he’s bringing weapons into the match?! Helloct is out of his mind!”
Goldstone sees Helloct trying to slide the ladder under the bottom rope and he quickly nails the ladder and Helloct with a Baseball-slide-dropkick that sends Helloct back-first into the side of the Cell. This move allows enough for Davis to get back to his feet and he nails Goldstone with a Low Blow and he quickly picks up the trashcan and smashes it over Goldstone’s head. Davis then drapes Goldstone over the bottom rope, where Helloct is slowly getting back to his feet, Davis then picks up the barbed wire 2x4 and jabs it into Joe Goldstone’s forehead, busting him open. Davis seeing the blood starting to pour out of Goldstone’s head drops the 2x4 and starts setting up the table in the center of the ring. Helloct quickly slides in the ring and goes for a pin but Davis sees him and quickly breaks it up.
JR: “Helloct almost won it, if Davis hadn’t broken it up.”
RK: “Remember folks this isn’t an elimination match, the first pin or submission wins it.”
Davis then grabs Helloct’s head and tosses him into the opposite side top turnbuckle and he climbs to second rope and starts reigning down blows to the top of Helloct’s head. Goldstone is back up to his feet and after wiping the blood out of his eyes he picks up a kendo stick and quickly nails Davis in the back with it! Stunned by Goldstone’s Kendo stick shot, Davis grabs the top rope for balance and Goldstone quickly gets up to the second rope and places the Kendo stick across Davis’ neck and drops him a Russian Leg Drop from the second rope. Goldstone drapes an arm over him and only gets a two count before Helloct breaks up the pin. Helloct kicks both men and then quickly slides outside to retrieve the ladder still on the floor while Goldstone and Davis are both down in the ring. Helloct starts climbing up the ladder.
JR: “What is Helloct doing? He should be going for a pin!”
RK: “I think there is a pin or something that releases a panel of the roof of the Cell.”
He gets to the top of the ladder and starts pulling on a ceiling panel of the Cell and he finally pulls the panel down.
RK: “See? I told you!”
Helloct climbs down the ladder and tosses Joe Goldstone out of the ring then he picks up Davis by the hair and sets him for a Powerbomb. Then in a fit of rage Davis is able to reverse the Powerbomb attempt into a Back-Body-Drop on Helloct. Helloct quickly gets back up to his feet and Davis goes for a Close line but Helloct ducks it and nails Davis with a Superkick! Davis falls into the turnbuckle and is being held up by the ring ropes and Helloct quickly picks up a nearby Kendo stick and he hits with so hard he breaks the Kendo stick into pieces.
JR: “What a shot! He shattered that Kendo stick!”
Helloct grabs the stunned Davis and drops him with an Even Flow DDT and he goes for a pin attempt!
RK: “Even Flow DDT! It’s all over!”
JR: “One...two…I don’t believe it! Davis kicks out at the two-count!”
Helloct is furious at the referee and he picks up Davis and throws him out the ring and quickly follows him to the ring floor and he slams Davis into the side of the Cell and he props Davis by the Cell’s door and he then picks up the ring steps and using them as a battering ram he charges at Davis. Davis side-steps and Helloct breaks through the door and lands face first on the steps.
JR: “Davis is either very skilled or very lucky!”
RK: “Can’t he be both?”
Davis getting back up to his feet and he sees Seith Helloct lying on the floor and he gets up and he picks up Helloct and throws him into the announcer’s table.
JR: “Look out Randal!”
RK: “I’m outta of here!”
Davis places Helloct on the table and then starts climbing up the side of the Cell! When Davis is about half way up the Cell, Helloct is able to roll off the table and he follows Davis up the side of the Cell.
JR: “That was a close one! Are you all alright there Randal?”
RK: “I’m fine, but it looks like Davis is exhausted when he got to top of the Cell! “
JR: “Considering all the hell he’s been through anybody would be tied too!”
By the time Helloct is up there too, Davis is just starting to get back up to his feet and Helloct kicks him in the gut and sets him up for a Powerbomb but again Davis is able to Back-Body-Drop him and Helloct crashes through the roof of the Cell and smashes through the table set up in the ring!
JR: “OH MY GOD! HE’S BROKEN IN HALF!!”
RK: “HE’S NOT MOVING AND LOOK GOLDSTONE IS CLIMBING THE LADDER!”
As Helloct falls Joe Goldstone has gotten back up and is climbing up the ladder and by the time he’s able to get up onto the roof and he sees Davis celebrating and Goldstone grabs him and he flings him off the roof of the Cell and Davis crashes through the announcer’s table!
JR: “LOOK OUT RANDAL!”
RK: “HUN?”
Goldstone walks back to wear the ladder is still standing and he climbs back down into the Cell. He picks up Helloct and places him onto the top rope and he then picks him up and drops him with a Muscle Buster and he goes for pin and he gets a three count!
THII: “The winner of the match and new X-WCW Intercontinental Champion Joe Goldstone!”
As Goldstone is handed the X-WCW IC title belt suddenly the Lost Boys and Aries hit the ring and attack him! Goldstone tries to fight back but the numbers are too great and Aries slides out of the ring and pulls out a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire and she tosses it into the ring. Suddenly Nightmare, Rayne Bloodstone and The Final Frontier run down and they start fighting with Carnage, Inc! Nightmare tosses Mark Daniels out of the ring and he nails Mike Daniels in the back of the head with the X-WCW TV title belt. Autobot Jazz and Sci-Fi Man grab them and Jazz slams Mark into the ring post and Sci-Fi Man grabs the barbed wire steel chair and nails Mike Daniels in the head with it and he then slides the chair into the ring! As Nightmare tries to help Goldstone up, Aries tries to hit with a Low Blow from Behind but she’s stopped by Rayne Bloodstone who kicks her in the gut and Powerbombs her onto the barbed wire steel chair!
The Final Frontier slide back into the ring after making sure that the Lost Boys are out cold to help Goldstone back up to his feet and Nightmare picks up the X-WCW IC title belt and hands it to Goldstone, after a few seconds he accepts the belt and shakes hands with Nightmare, and then Goldstone climbs to the middle rope and he holds the X-WCW IC title belt and Nightmare goes to the other side and does the same, and as The Final Frontier hoist Rayne Bloodstone on their shoulders and they celebrate in the ring.
JR: “OK we’re back on the air and it looks like we could have a new faction!”
RK: “They pretty much have destroyed Carnage, Inc.!”
Then the lights go out in the Conseco Fieldhouse and when the lights come back on Judge Death is standing in the center of the ring holding another barbed wire steel chair!
JR: “Judge Death is back!”
RK: “Look what he has in his hand a barbed wire steel chair!”
He nails Nightmare in the back of the head with it, and Goldstone jumps down to attack him as The Final Frontier and Rayne look on in complete and total shock! Judge Death jabs Goldstone in the gut with the chair and he quickly face jams Goldstone on the chair and picks up the X-WCW IC and TV title belts and the lights go out and Judge Death then disappears again.
Finally after all the chaos EMTs come down and help out all the injured and the ring crew bring out a new table for James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “What a war!”
RK: “No kidding!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as the EMTs continue to show up at ringside.
Backstage
Ground Zero IV comes from the commercial break and we see Cole Ryan beside “The Renegade” Ron Michaels.
CR: “Welcome back everybody to the 100th show of the X-WCW, GROUND ZERO IV! Right now we have the revolution’s very own RENEGADE! Renegade, tonight is your chance to reclaim your Xtreme title against Justin Sane. What are your thoughts going into this matchup?”
TRRM: “It’s pretty simple Cole. My strategy for this match is to basically destroy and disfigure Sane so badly that I’d win that belt yet again. Let’s face it, I’m the best at what I do and just like my fellow Revolution members, I dominate the competition here in the X-WCW.”
We hear someone clapping in the background. The claps grow louder as the figure enters the scene and reveals himself to be Nightmare. Nightmare has the X-WCW Television title across his shoulder and he smirks at the sight of TRRM.
NM: “Bravo, Ronny boy. What in the seven hells do you think you can do to get a belt aside from getting help from your Revolution buddies? I can answer that, you can’t! Good luck in trying to win, because even if I hate Sane’s guts..I hate yours even more.”
Nightmare leaves the scene as we go back to ringside.
*****X-WCW’S GREATEST MOMENTS*****
Bloodbath 2
Bloodbath 2
We see the scaffold match between D-Extreme and Cyberstrike.
JR: “The scaffold has reached its maximum height thirty-five feet in the air. Now all these guys have to is throw the other off into the barbed wire net!”
A bloody Cyberstrike picks up a bloody D-Extreme and nails him with a Crackdown on the scaffold! Then picks up D-Extreme and sets him up for a powerbomb off the scaffold!” Then suddenly the all the lights go out in the arena!
JR: “Now what?”
The lights come on a third figure in long over coat and fedora hat is standing on the scaffold with Cyberstrike and D-Extreme!
JR: “Who is that? He got Cyberstrike by the back of the head and nails him with a Crackdown! D-Extreme falls on he scaffold and begins to get his feet! As this person has Cyberstrike by the throat! What the hell? He got D-Extreme by the throat too! OH MY GOD HE JUST CHOKESLAMED BOTH OF THEM OFF THE SCAFFOLD AND RIGHT INTO THE BARBED WIRE NET! WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?!”
The referee calls for the bell
TH: The referee has ruled this match a draw!
The figure takes off his fedora and reveals who he is!
JR: “HOLY SHIT IT’S WRECK-TRON!!! BUT WHY DID HE CHOKESLAM BOTH OF THEM? HIS HATRED OF CYBERSTRIKE IS WELL DOCUMENTED!! BUT WHY DID HE CHOKESLAM D-EXTREME?!”
The lights go out and when they come back on Wreck-Tron has vanished from the scaffold.
EMTS rush to get Cyberstrike and D-Extreme out of the barbed wire as the two men are loaded on stretchers D-Extreme makes an “X” sign with arms and Cyberstrike makes the two sweet sign to the crowd! The fans give them both a standing ovation!
JR: “Love them or hate them these two gave you everything they had and then some. If they didn’t give you folks at home
your money’s worth then you need some serious help!”
The video fades as we see the EMTs send both away from ringside.
*****************************
X-WCW Xtreme Championship
Xtreme Match
The Renegade Ron Michaels vs. Justin Sane (c)
JR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV, the next match up tonight is a match that is truly ready for the history books. “The Renegade” Ron Michaels has been a previous X-treme Title holder, until Justin Sane won it back from him. Tonight, the two men clash to see who DESERVES to be the champion.”
RK: “That's right James, and this match is brought to you by Right Guard, for Extreme Wetness Protection, try Right Guard!!”
JR: “Umm...commercials aren't up yet.”
RK: “Just shut up, I need some extra money.”
JR: “Anyway folks, let’s see how this whole thing started out.”
***
Starrcade: Revolution…
The video package plays over and we see “The Renegade” Ron Michaels wearing the X-WCW Xtreme Championship belt around his waist proudly. Just then, the voice over of Terri Hotbody is heard.
THII V.O.: “Ladies & gentlemen, the following contest is for the X-WCW Xtreme championship! It will be fought under the newly created Xtreme rules.”
We see a shot of Justin Sane entering the ringside area as well before we get a clip of Nightmare entering the ringside area seconds later. Generic heavy metal music is heard as we see the following clips of the match.
- Sane and TRRM delivering a 3D on Nightmare on the crowd divider
- The Renegade accidentally hitting a fan from the crowd area with a steel chair
- TRRM slapping on the dragon sleeper on Sane
- Sane delivering a double drop toe hold on TRRM who falls face first onto the steel steps
- Nightmare hitting the ankle of TRRM with the chair and steel steps
We then hear the following voice over as we see a clip of Justin Sane holding TRRM in an ankle lock and would soon tap out.
JR: “THE RENEGADE RON MICHAELS HAS TAPPED OUT! NEW X-WCW XTREME CHAMPION, NEW XTREME CHAMPION. ENTER THE INSANE ERA OF JUSTIN SANE!”
RK: “THAT STUNTMAN PRICK CHEATED!”
We see a clip of Justin Sane holding the Xtreme title in the air after his victory. The video fades to black before it comes back to show the following words.
Doubleshot #17…
We see the entrances of CJ Baller, Nightmare, and The Renegade as we hear THII’s voice over.
THII:” The following is a triple threat match to determine the number one contender for the X-WCW Xtreme Championship!”
The video package shows the following parts of the match:
- NM hitting a spinning back kick on CJ Baller
- CJ Baller hitting a spinebuster on NM
- Nightmare hitting The fear
JR: “THE FEAR!!! The triple jump moonsault has been delivered by Nightmare on CJ Baller and he hooks the leg for the pin. 1-2-and oh my…Nightmare just got pulled out of the ring by…MIKE MAGNUS?!”
The video shows Magnus and Nightmare brawling out of the ring while TRRM putting on his submission move on the downed CJ Baller.
THII: “The winner and the number one contender for the X-WCW Xtreme Title…”THE RENEGADE” RON MICHAELS!!!”
The video package shows the referee raising TRRM’s hand before we cut to some footage of “The Renegade” Ron Michaels putting on some wrapping tape on his fists before he faces the camera.
TRRM V.O.: “On Ground Zero, I will take back what is mine, the X-WCW Xtreme title.”
We see a clip of Justin Sane posing on top of the turnbuckle with the belt raised by his hand.
TRRM V.O.: “The only reason, Sane, as to why you are still the champion is simple: You got lucky. When we meet, face to face in that ring, your luck will run out.”
The video fades momentarily as we see TRRM grinning at the camera. We go back and this time we see Justin Sane bouncing up and down as he is facing the opposite direction. The background of where he is located seemingly is a hallway of some random arena while we hear his voice over this time.
JS V.O.: “Ground Zero IV, Sane vs Renegade, it’s on.”
We see a video clip of TRRM walking down the aisle before it shifts into Justin Sane jogging down the rampway and onto the wrestling ring.
JS V.O.: “Ron Michaels, there’s a reason why I’m still the Xtreme champion and you are not. On Ground Zero IV, you’d figure out why.”
The video fades with a shot of Justin Sane delivering a senton splash on a random opponent.
***
“Hurt” by Johnny Cash plays through the PA as TRRM slowly walks from the entrance way, licking his lips as he raises his arms above his head before signaling the title around his waist.
THII: “This next match is scheduled for one fall, and is an XTREME RULES MATCH for the X-TREME TITLE!! Introducing First!! From Out West, The Renegade, RON MICHAELS!!”
JR: “Oh Mama, I can hear you cryin' you're so scared and all alone....”
RK: “What in the hell are you singing”
JR: “Renegade. What? Am I not allowed anymore?”
RK: “Just do your damn job. “
JR: “Anyways, The Renegade looks ready to go, his eyes fierce, his walk smooth and his eyes staring down into the ring.”
Hurt slowly fades from the PA as “Two Weeks” hits the PA, Justin runs from the entrance ramp, raising the title and slapping his chest, grinning to the crowd as he grins, raising his arms up in victory as he stares at TRRM, running a thumb over his throat.
THII: “And the champion, Standing at 5 foot 10, and weighing in at One hundred and seventy pounds. He is “The Insane One”, Justin SANE!!!”
The crowd pops as Justin grins, holding up the title before running down the ramp, holding the title and sliding into the ring, turning and flipping up, chuckling to TRRM as TRRM now just shakes his head, the smirk apparent on his face.
JR: “This match is going to be EXPLOSIVE!!”
THII: “The rules to this match are simple, you win by either getting your opponent inside the ring to submit, or by forcing a 10 count outside of the ring. No weapons are allowed in the ring, however they will be allowed to be used outside of the ring.”
RK: Ok, this match just became lame.
JR: “Oh c’mon now King! You knew this already from watching past Xtreme matches.”
RK: “I know…please, kill me now. PLEASE!!!”
The bell sounds off to start the match and both men near the center of the ring. Sane tries to lock up to TRRM, but The Renegade delivers a number of hard kicks to the side of his opponent that prevents him to get near. TRRM charges into Sane, only to get tripped by a single leg takedown. Sane floats over into a side headlock on his opponent but TRRM quickly gets into a leg scissors on his opponent’s head. Sane kicks out of the leg scissors headlock and both men get to a vertical base on the ring mat. Sane charges at TRRM but is taken down by a quick overhead Japanese armdrag. Ron Michaels clamps down on one of Sane’s arms as JS is getting to his feet.
JR: “The Renegade gets control in the early going and he has his opponent on that hammerlock.”
RK: “he must be clamping down on Sane’s arm and shoulder area right now. Well…this seems like a standard match that I can get into..until the stupid quirks such as you CANNOT use a weapon inside the ring but you can do so OUTSIDE the ring…makes me go into despair on how quickly the X-WCW match types have degenerated over the years.”
JR: “When the fans or myself would like to hear or read that, King, please just shut up and post it on your myspace blog or something instead. We need to call this match right now remember?”
RK: “WHAT? Can’t I atleast get my freedom of speech across these people while we call this match?”
JR: “I am all for it but still, we have a duty to call this match.”
While JR and RK were bickering Justin Sane reverses the hammer lock and then drives his elbow into the arm of TRRM. Sane quickly bounces off the ropes and takes down TRRM with a dropkick. TRRM gets to his feet and he is taken down by another dropkick. Sane picks up TRRM, but The Renegade surprises Sane and everyone as he does a quick grab on Sane and takes him down with a fisherman’s suplex.
JR: “SEE? Look what we missed on calling, King! The Renegade Ron Michaels with the fisherman’s suplex takes Sane down the mat!”
Sane favors his back and groans in pain while TRRM sees the opportunity to deliver a kick to the back of his opponent. Sane groans so more, and even adds a little grunt on it. TRRM picks him up and delivers some strong clubs to the back of his opponent before he lifts him up on his shoulders and sends him down with a back breaker. Sane crumples down the mat and seems to be in agony while TRRM goes over him and locks him up in a Mexican surfboard hold.
JR: “The Renegade Ron Michaels has his opponent locked into that Mexican surfboard submission maneuver, King.”
RK: “Yeah, he is pulling both Sane’s arm and uses Sane’s back like it’s a surfboard or something. If Sane doesn’t do something like submit, it’s gonna be two things really. First, his shoulders might pop out of their sockets or maybe his back would be broken in half.”
Sane screams in pain while we could hear Ron Michaels yell for Sane to give up. Almost a minute goes by but Sane is not quitting just yet. After a few more seconds, TRRM furiously lets go of the hold and picks up Justin Sane. However, Sane has some fight left in him as he delivers a hard chop to the chest of TRRM and backs him into the nearby ropes. There, Sane continues to deliver some chops before he tries to turn around and run through the opposite ropes. It would be a huge mistake as TRRM would grab Sane by the hair and slam him down the mat.
RK: “Its times like these that Sane wishes he had shorter hair. Someone give this guy a haircut would you.”
TRRM hauls Sane up and whips him across the ropes. Sane leapfrogs over Ron Michaels before he bounces off the ropes and takes TRRM down with a running bulldog facecrusher. Sane waits for TRRM to get up before he stuns him with a hard forearm smash and then he takes down TRRM with a tornado DDT. TRRM slumps down and Sane slides to the outside. He pulls out a chair from the apron and gets into the ring. He tries to attack TRRM with a chair, but the referee restrains him.
RK: “Someone is forgetting the very complicated match here, JR. You can use weapons..OUTSIDE the ring. Man, I bet Ron Michaels was high when he created these rules. That, or he expected his opponents to do such things.”
Sane grumbles to himself as he tosses the chair back to the outside of the ring. He turns around and gets a boot to the gut by a recovered TRRM. He lifts Sane up on his shoulders and takes him down with a knee to the stomach! Sane holds his abdominal region as he rolls to the outside of the ring. TRRM grins at the sight of the fallen Justin Sane before he follows him to the outside. He picks up Sane, who delivers some stiff shots to the gut of TRRM. Justin Sane is let go and Sane clocks TRRM with a hard haymaker. TRRM is dazed as Sane picks up the steel chair from earlier and delivers a powerful smack over the head of his opponent. TRRM crumples down and Sane stands back as the referee starts to count.
JR: “The referee has begun the count: 1…2…3…4..Renegade is getting to his feet …and he’s up.”
TRRM barely gets to his feet, and Sane is there to grab him by the head. Sane drags TRRM near the crowd barrier where he throws him in and starts to stomp down a mudhole. TRRM is slumped and leaning on the crowd barrier while Justin Sane grabs the nearby steel steps and sets it up a few feet infront of TRRM. TRRM slowly gets to his feet on the barrier, and he sees Sane running towards him and the steel steps. Sane makes it to the steps and launches himself off it as he tries to attack TRRM. TRRM gets out in time and Sane hits face first onto the crowd barrier. TRRM hooks up Justin Sane and plants him down with a monstrous DDT!
RK: “Man, he just drove Sane face first to the mat with that DDT. Sane was doing a risky move, sadly, it didn’t pay off, JR.”
JR: “Sane missed his chance and TRRM capitalized on the opening.”
TRRM picks up Justin Sane and delivers some hard punches to the mid-section of his opponent. He scoops Sane up, turns around and bodyslams Sane onto the steel steps. Sane shouts in agony as his back collides with the cold hard steel of the ring steps. He falls to the mat and the referee starts the ten count on Sane.
RK: “The count is here: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-Sane slowly is getting to his feet here-8-and he’s up!”
Sane is on spaghetti legs and The Renegade reels him in for a hard knee to the gut. He lifts Sane onto his shoulders, but before he could do anything, Sane starts to beat on the back of TRRM. Sane wriggles free from TRRM’s grasps and lands behind him. He kicks TRRM on the back and does a reverse twist of fate neckbreaker on the former Xtreme champ. TRRM is down, but it seemed like it also took out some on Sane and he collapses as well. The referee inside the ring starts to count both men down. Sane and TRRM get to their feet by the count of 4 and they start to slug it out. TRRM reels back after a hard punch from Sane and Sane tries to clothesline him. TRRM catches Sane by the arm and takes him down the ground before he locks on a crossface.
JR: “CROSSFACE!!! Ron Michaels caught Justin Sane
TRRM continues to add pressure to the hold as Sane struggles on the outside of the ring. The Renegade lets go of the hold and Justin Sane lies flat on the ground. The referee starts to count Sane while TRRM watches his opponent closely for any signs of movement. The referee counts to 7, and Sane slowly stirs up.
RK: “Justin Sane got himself moving by the count of 7, and this match continues.”
JR: “The Renegade grabs Sane and hauls him up on his feet, before he slams him down with a sidewalk slam. Sane is down, and The Renegade is..hey what is he planning to do here?”
TRRM goes near the broadcast booth and takes out the cover. He pulls out one of the TV monitors and grabs a hold of it. TRRM waits for Sane to get to his feet completely before he attempts to deliver a hit on him with the TV monitor. TRRM misses and Sane sneaks in an enzugiri kick that takes his opponent down.
JR: “Ron Michaels missed his opportunity to deliver a hard blow to the head of Sane, but Sane answers back with a hard kick on The Renegade!”
RK: “The Renegade should have just used something more convenient to take out his opponent instead of pulling it out. Had he used a steel chair, it saved him more time to attack.”
Justin Sane looks at the monitor and grins before he picks up TRRM. He delivers a fury of clubs to the back of TRRM before he locks him in a front face lock. He drags TRRM near the monitor before he snapmares TRRM and delivers a basement dropkick across his back. While TRRM is down, he grabs the TV monitor and smacks it over the face of TRRM. TRRM holds his face as the TV monitor smashes right at the point of impact.
RK: “Man, obviously some glass was shattered there JR, that is a TV monitor after all.”
JR: “Justin Sane just destroyed that TV monitor on the face of TRRM with reckless abandon!”
TRRM is down and the referee starts to count.
Referee: “1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-”
The referee stops as Justin Sane picks up the groggy Renegade and kicks him repeatedly on the stomach while he has a hold of him. He drags TRRM on the announce desk and places him over there. He sets TRRM on top of the table before he gets up as well. He lifts TRRM up to a vertical base, but before he could, Ron Michaels backdrops him onto the table. TRRM turns around and delivers a stiff shot to the face of Justin Sane before he bodyslams him on the table. The announce table does not break, but Sane groans in pain and rolls off of it.
JR: “The Renegade is up, King, and look at his face. He now wearing a crimson mask thanks to the brutal hit he received from the TV monitor.”
RK: “Well he’s lucky that he’s still walking after that hit.”
TRRM staggers towards Justin Sane and delivers a hard club to the back of Sane. He delivers a couple of hard blows to the gut of Sane before he lifts him up on his shoulders and then slamming him to the padded concrete with a Samoan Drop. Sane squirms in pain as The Renegade pulls out a wooden table underneath the ring apron. He sets it up as Sane gets to his feet and goes over to his opponent. Sane sees TRRM heading for him and takes him down with a drop toe hold. TRRM gets to his feet and Sane grabs him to take him down the pavement yet again, this time with a jawbreaker maneuver. TRRM staggers back and falls on his back before Sane nears the table for both of them.
JR: “Justin Sane has recovered and now pulls that wooden table near The Renegade.”
He places The Renegade on the table before he pulls a nearby rope that was ‘conveniently’ placed near his location. He goes over to the table where TRRM is and begins to strangle him with the rope.
JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! JUSTIN SANE MUST HAVE LOST HIS MIND!”
RK: “He really is JUST INSANE, JR. I think he wants to choke the life out of Ron Michaels on that table.”
TRRM struggles a bit before he seems to have passed out on top of the table. Sane stops choking TRRM and he heads over to the apron before making his ascent to the top turnbuckle. He climbs up and looks towards his target, the table where TRRM is laying prone on. He springs up on the top rope and faces away from TRRM before he goes for a moonsault. However, in midair, Sane continues to rotate and delivers a moonsault like legdrop on TRRM and the table.
JR: “SANITY BREAKER ON THE TABLE! BAH GAWD!!! BAH GAWWWDD!!”
RK: “Now THIS is something I like, thank goodness of spot monkeys like Sane.”
Crowd: “HOLY S***! HOLY S***!! HOLY S***!!!”
The crowd goes into a frenzy after Sane connected with that impressive areal maneuver on TRRM. The table broke in half and TRRM is not moving outside the ring. Sane is also down, but we can see signs of movement from him as the referee starts to count both men on the outside.
Refere: “ONE!....TWO!...THREE!...FOUR!...FIVE!...SIX!...”
Sane starts to get to his feet and uses the ring apron to pull himself up. He gasps for air and looks at the fallen TRRM.
Referee: “SEVEN!...EIGHT!...NINE!...TEN!”
The referee calls for the bell and it rings to signal Justin Sane’s victory. Sane rolls back into the ring and is helped up by the referee. He raises Sane’s hand and gives him the Xtreme title.
THII: “The winner and STILL X-WCW XTREME CHAMPION…JUSTIN SANE!!!”
JR: “From a match that Randal did not want to see, to something that excited him, this had it all folks.”
RK: “Yeah. I guess this match type has its pluses and minuses. Mostly, I think it’s a plus now seeing how good the match ended. That was some spectacularly breath taking move done there by Justin Sane for him to keep that Xtreme title.”
JR: “More action will come our way folks, so stay tune!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as Sane leaves the ringside area with his Xtreme title belt.
*****X-WCW’S GREATEST MOMENTS*****
Collision Course 2
Collision Course 2
We see the last moments of the Xtreme Wargames Match and it’s down to R.E. Rage and Karl Baller. Rage hooks the dragon sleeper on Karl Baller and we see a closeup of Rage shouting.
JR: “DRAGON SLEEPER ON KARL BALLER!”
Rage hooks him up for the dragon sleeper. But KB struggles to get out of the hold. KB uses his free arm to hold the nearby ropes. He then manages to get a kick high enough to smack the forehead of the already bleeding Rage. Rage is stunned and this gives KB the time to swing around his body and deliver a fisherman’s suplex pin on Rage. The referee counts the pin.
JR: “Here is the pin 1…2…3! BAH GAWD!!! BALLER WINS!!! THE X-WCW WINS THIS MATCH!!!!!”
The video skips to the part of the X-WCW roster and KB doing a beerbash.
JR: “Well look what we got here, King.”
RK: “OH YEAH! AN X-WCW BEER BASH!!!”
The video fades as the beer bash continues.
******************************************
#1 Contendership to the X-WCW Championship
Ladder War Match
R.E. Rage vs. The Real Deal vs. Cane Deathscream vs. Karl Baller vs. "The Playboy" Brett Rayne vs. Andrew Radon vs. CJ Baller vs. "The Scorpion" Jack Blade vs. Bombshell
Ground Zero comes back from the commercial break and we see a briefcase hanging above the ring. We get shots from ringside where about 3 ladders are set up at the walkway that leads to the X-WCW ring. The camera pans back to the ring itself where Terri Hotbody II is standing with a microphone on her hand.
THII: “The following is the first ever Ladder War Match. The objective of this match is to retrieve the briefcase that is suspended above the X-WCW ring. The briefcase contains a contract for an X-WCW Championship title shot where the winner can use it at anytime, at any place for the duration of his possession of the said briefcase.”
The camera goes over to the commentator’s table with JR and RK.
JR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV, the 100th show of the X-WCW!!!”
RK: “This is a great way of you guys returning to us from your TV screens cause in a few seconds, history is about to be made. One of the nine X-WCW superstars in this match will win by retrieving that briefcase suspended about 15 to 20 feet from the ring. Inside that, as Terri just said, is a title shot where you can cash in at any time of your choosing.”
JR: “King, this is going to be historic.”
RK: “I know, JR, I know!”
JR: “Now let’s get to know a bit more about the 9 competitors who will be in this matchup.”
***
We shift to a video package that shows a black and white footage of Cane Deathscream wakling down a corridor. While the slow motion footage is shown, we hear his voice over.
CD V.O.: “I’ve been there before...”
We see a shot of Cane Deathscream brandishing the X-WCW World Heavyweight Title around his waist while he stands tall in the ring. The scene fades to a shot of Karl Baller posing on top of the turnbuckle with the X-WCW World Title and the 2NLW Scion Belt while we hear his voice over.
KB V.O.: “I know what it feels like…”
The clip fades before we see Bombshell riding a Harley Davidson on the rampway. We see the X-WCW heavyweight belt hanging around his neck on the same clip while we hear his voice over.
BS V.O.: “I’ve tasted gold…But…”
CD V.O.: “At the same time….”
KB V.O: “I’ve also known how it feels like when it’s stanched from my clutches…”
While we hear their voiceovers, we see Bombshell getting pinned by Cane Deathscream for the title. The video then highlights Cane Deathscream down on the ring while we see Cyberstrike posing with the belt. It soon shifts to the clip from Starrcade: Revolution wherein Karl Baller is knocked out by The “Scorpion” Jack Blade before we see a shot of Bonito getting the X-WCW title raised into the air.
KB V.O.: “Obviously, I know how hard it feels to lose it…”
The clip of KB falling to the mat fades into a video footage of R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne holding up the X-WCW Tag Team titles. We hear their respective voices.
RER V.O.: “I’ve been decorated with belts before…”
BR V.O.: “But tonight, will be one step closer to the biggest prize of them all..”
We then see a clip of The Real Deal hitting a big boot to the face of some random opponent before hearing him.
TRD V.O.: “Tonight I will climb up that ladder…”
The video highlights CJ Baller ascending the top rope to pose for the fans as we hear his voice over.
CJ V.O.: “I will get that contract…”
The video shifts to “The Scorpion” Jack Blade raising a steel chair with one arm while he is in the ring.
TSJB V.O.: “…I will make a mark…”
We see Andrew Radon facing the camera in a deadpan like face before we hear his voice.
AR V.O.: “And will be one step closer from my destiny.”
The video package shows the X-WCW ringside and the pyros are set off while “Are You Ready” by hazen street is heard. We see different shots of the 9 participants as we hear JR’s voice over.
JR V.O.: “Nine men are going vie for the chance to challenge the X-WCW Champion anytime and anywhere. The stakes couldn’t get any higher than this.”
“Are you ready?”
We see a shot of Karl Baller hitting the number one single on R.E. Rage
“Are you ready or not?”
The video shows Jack Blade applying a headlock on a grounded CJ Baller. It shifts to TRD bouncing off the ropes to deliver a powerful clothesline that turns Brett Rayne inside out.
“Cause I’m going all out, so show me what you got”
The video package goes to a clip of Cane Deathscream delivering a chokeslam on Bombshell. It quickly shifts to a footage of Andrew Radon slapping the face of Karl Baller.
“Are you ready?!”…”Are you ready?!?!”
The video shows Cane Deathscream smirking menacingly before we see a clip of Bombshell raising his fist in the air while he is on the stage. It changes to Jack Blade inside the ring and pointing to someone outside of it. We see TRD mouthing something off while he faces the crowd.
“ARE YOU READY?”…”ARE YOU READY?!”
A clip of Radon posing at the turnbuckle is shown before it shifts to CJ Baller letting out a shout while he is posing in the ring as well. We then see a clip of Brett Rayne flexing his biceps as he strolls down the rampway before it shifts to R.E. Rage posing at the ring apron to the fans.
“ARE YOU READY OR NOT?!”
The video fades to black as we see a final shot, that of Karl Baller who is seen raising his arm into the air.
***
The camera pans over to the ringside stage where the lights just dimmed down and we hear “I AM IT!” being said on the speakers. “Break” soon follows and the pyros on stage explode. R.E. Rage comes out to the ringside area to the sounds of Drowning Pool’s “Tear Away” while the fans start to join the song with booing.
THII: “Introducing first, from Toronto Ontario, Canada, he weighs in at 240 lbs…R.E. RAGE!!!”
The fans continue to boo Rage while he confidently walks down the aisle and passes through the 3 ladders.
JR: “R.E. Rage is no stranger to X-WCW ladder matches, King. However, the most opponents he had in a ladder match was about 2 only. Is he ready to take on 8 other men in hopes to be the one to retrieve the briefcase?”
RK: “I am not sure, JR. However, I think it is in Rage’s advantage that he has been into these types of matches. Sure, half of the 9 competitors might have had ladder matches here and there, but this man seems a seasoned pro. Not only that, but he has held titles here and outside the X-WCW that were prestigious. No one can outperform this man in a big time situation, well unless your name is Karl Baller that is.”
Rage slides into the ring and goes to the center of the ring. Confidently, he peers up to see the briefcase and points at it before signaling that the briefcase would be his. His music slowly fades out and he takes one corner of the ring while he anticipates the next entrant of the match. “You know my name” by Chris Cornell plays across ringside and “The Scorpion” Jack Blade enters ringside to a pretty negative crowd reaction as well.
THII: “From parts unknown, he weighs in at 225 lbs….he is THE SCORPION JACK BLADE!!!”
TSJB slowly makes his way down the aisle as Rage has a smirk across his face directed at the incoming opponent.
JR: “This man is one that is wrapped in an enigma, King. He has made an impact here in the X-WCW after he cost Karl Baller the X-WCW Championship at Starrcade: Revolution.”
RK: “You got that right, this man made an impact. Well, after that he didn’t anymore. Is it just me or does he gain relevance if it’s only a PPV and not a regular X-WCW show?”
“The Scorpion” Jack Blade climbs up the stairs of the ring before he eventually climbs up the top rope. He stays there for a while and points up to the briefcase hanging above the ring. He hops off the turnbuckle and gazes back at R.E. Rage with criminal intent as his music fades.
RK: “Man, this guy means business, JR. I can feel his stare at Rage is somewhat deadly.”
“Deadly game” plays and Cane Deathscream of the nTo makes his arrival with a mixed yet mostly positive reaction from the capacity crowd. He stands tall on the stage with his usual wrestling attire plus the nTo t-shirt and confidently raises both arms in the air.
THII: “Up next, he is from parts unknown. Weighing in at 315 lbs, he is the nTo member, CANE DEATHSCREAM!!!”
With his name being called, he marches down the aisle slowly and menacingly.
JR: “Another dangerous man from parts unknown is Cane Deathscream.”
RK: “Man, what kind of people do they breed in that location?”
JR: “Regardless of that joke, I believe this man is someone who would love to win it all tonight. Remember, King, he was a former X-WCW World Champion in the past. If he wins this match, he’d have another shot at the gold here.”
Cane climbs over the ropes and glares down his two opponents while his music slowly fades. “Rollin” by Limp Bizkit hits the speakers and Bombshell comes out with the Revolution T-Shirt on top of his usual wrestling gear. The fans boo the Revolution member as he makes his way down the rampway.
THII: “From Maple Ridge B.C., he weighs in at 276 lbs. Revolution member…BOMSHELL!”
JR: “Speaking of former X-WCW World Champions, Bombshell is one of them. A former nTo member, Bombshell has changed his loyalty ties and I assure you that Cane nor the other nTo members like that.”
RK: “I know that, JR. However, I do know that Rage and the other Revolution members are liking the fact they got a former tag team champion and world champion on their side in the form of Bombshell.”
Bombshell enters the ring and raises both arms in the air for the crowd before he pulls them down and approaches Rage. Both men hit knuckles and look over to the other side of the ring where Cane and Jack Blade are located. “WAR” by Nas plays along the PA Systems and CJ Baller makes his way to the ringside area. The fans cheer for the Baller brother as he makes his way down the aisle.
THII: “From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he weighs in at 268 lbs….CJ BALLER!!!”
JR: “CJ Baller, as we all know is the brother of Karl Baller.”
RK: “Obviously, JR. It’s going to be surprising how these two brothers would compete here in this match. Will it be every man for themselves or will they help each other to win that briefcase?”
JR: “That is one very good question, King. The possibilities of a cooperation or a sibling rivalry are limitless here especially when the stakes are this high.”
CJ Baller slides into the ring and poses for the fans who continue to cheer for him. His music drowns into the background as we hear “Critically acclaimed” by Avenged Sevenfold play through the speakers. The Real Deal enters ringside to a slightly positive response from the crowd.
THII: “From Music City, USA, he weighs in at 300 lbs…THE REAL DEAL!!!”
After being introduced, TRD saunters down the rampway and makes his way towards the ring.
JR: “I have to tell you King, The Real Deal may have had bad luck in facing John Crook on Doubleshot but he has a chance here tonight to get a shot at immortality. If he wins, the can potentially win the world title when he cashes in this briefcase.”
RK: “For me, JR, I have to say this to you yet again. TRD is one helluva hoss!”
TRD enters the ring and shakes hands with Cane Deathscream. Inside the ring we see 2 members of the nTo, 2 members of the Revolution while there are 2 wrestlers who are not in either organization or stable. “30/30.150” by Stone Sour plays Radon comes down the ramp to a chorus of boos. He arrogantly makes his way down the aisle as THII introduces him.
THII: “Now residing in Knoxville, Tennessee…ANDREW RADON!!!”
JR: “Talk about your former champions, AR is a former UCW World..”
RK: “No, JR, he is not a world champion.”
JR: “But he-”
RK: “No…he’s not. Let’s just say he’s a former X-WCW tag team champion and tonight he’d like to get a real chance to be an X-WCW World Champion if he so ever gets the briefcase. I think that’s simple enough to say.”
Radon enters the ring and glares at the other competitors before getting his own empty space inside. His music fades out and “Number One” by Nelly hits to announce the entrance of “The Playboy” Brett Rayne into the ringside area. The fans take note of Brett’s entrance and they start to boo.
THII: “From Huntington Beach, Ca during Mondays thru Fridays, and your Mother’s bedroom on Saturday and Sunday. He weighs in at 235 lbs…”THE PLAYBOY” BRETT RAYNE!!!”
RK: “Now THIS is a real former world champion, hell he is a UNIVERSAL champion in that other fed he was in.”
JR: “Brett Rayne, one half of the tag team known as RNR. It would be also an interesting match here to see if these two would cooperate with each other before trying to get to the briefcase alone.”
RK: “Yeah, we got brothers, stable members and tag team partners in this match. A lot is really going to be tested here tonight. Are your loyalties solid? Or when the biggest opportunity you would ever get in the X-WCW shows up, will you compromise your brotherhood, your loyalty, and even kinship ties? Man, this match is already exciting while we talk about it.”
Brett saunters into the ring and poses for the fans who continue to boo him relentlessly. Brett goes over to the Revolution’s side and high fives both Bombshell and Rage. “Hate it or luv it” hits the speakers and the fans go wild as Karl Baller enters the ringside area.
THII: “Finally, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he weighs in at 223 lbs…KARL BALLER!!!”
Karl Baller marches down the rampway and gives out high fives to the fans that are near him as he makes his way to the ring.
JR: “If we want to talk about former X-WCW World Champions, we should also talk about Karl Baller. He was the champion before Tony Bonito screwed him out of it. I am sure that this young man has a lot of intent on getting that briefcase and reclaiming what is rightfully his.”
RK: “No offense, but he clearly lost his belt to Bonito. What needs to prove tonight is whether or not he’s gonna get back on the horse that dropped him on his ass.”
KB slides into the ring and poses for the fans once more before going to his corner with CJ Baller. The brothers do a high five before they give a brief hug. KB’s music fades into the background and the air is now filled with cheers from the crowd as they anticipate one of the most interesting matches for the X-WCW to date. Finally the bell rings and all nine men inside the X-WCW ring are either going at it or going outside to brawl. Inside the ring, Andrew Radon quickly attacks KB on one side of the ring but Baller fights back. Bombshell and Cane Deathscream are brawling with each other near the ropes while Jack Blade and CJ Baller are exchanging punches. Outside we see Brett Rayne and R.E. Rage double teaming The Real Deal near the crowd barrier.
JR: “All nine men are just beating up one another here, King.”
RK: “Well I know some would go for the ladders now but hell either they got pounced on like KB was or they are too busy double teaming some sucker like RNR is doing it on TRD.”
RNR beat down TRD as he is slumped on the ring apron for a good few seconds. Brett Rayne jogs towards the rampway and collects one of the three ladders displayed there. He slides it into the ring while R.E. Rage continues to keep TRD down outside. Back inside the ring, Brett Rayne rams the ladder at Bombshell and Cane Deathscream. Both BS and CD go down and Brett Rayne directs his attention now on Karl Baller and Andrew Radon. Both men see Rayne with the ladder and sidestep just in time before getting hit. The former tag team partners do a number on Brett Rayne as KB and AR deliver a double dropkick on Brett Rayne to send him down the mat. Brett Rayne falls on his back and the ladder lands right on his face.
RK: “OWWW! That is not going to be good on Brett’s handsome mug.”
JR: “The former tag team partners momentarily teamed up to take out Brett Rayne who was trying to get the upper hand with the ladder.”
Karl Baller and Andrew Radon momentarily look at the ladder and Brett Rayne beneath it before they stare down. They would like to beat up on each other but it seemed like Bombshell and Cane Deathscream have other plans as they attack on them. It now turns to be Bombshell hitting KB out of nowhere while Cane Deathscream spins AR around and shoves him into the nearby corner. At the corner, Cane Deathscream delivers some hard throat thrusts to AR before he follows it up with a boot choke. Karl Baller gets a kick to the gut before he is sent over the ropes with a huge clothesline by the mad bomber.
JR: “Bombshell hits a hard clothesline and it sends KB out of the ring!”
Jack Blade gets the advantage on CJ Baller as he blocks a punch and delivers a kick that stuns his opponent. TSJB follows it up with a series of kicks to the side of CJ Baller before he goes for a spinning wheel kick. CJ avoids the kick and slides in to connect a back suplex on his opponent. Outside the ring, R.E. Rage has TRD leaning on the crowd barrier before he backs up and tries to charge at him. TRD scouts him and sends him flying over the crowd barrier with a back body drop. Somehow, Rage gets his bearings and lands on his feet. He swipes a cup from a fan and tosses it on the face of TRD as the nTo member turns around.
RK: “Haha! There’s some soda on TRD’s eyes right now, JR.”
JR: “Rage seems to put some innovation on offense pretty well, but this is pushing it.”
Rage hops over the barrier and delivers some right hands to the face of the temporarily blinded TRD. Karl Baller is also outside the ring and he gets to his feet. KB picks up one of the ladders and tosses it into the ring before sliding in. As of the moment, two ladders are now situated in the ring. Brett Rayne and Bombshell direct their attention to Cane Deathscream and double team him inside the ring. TSJB struggles out of a front face lock and backs CJ Baller into the ropes. There, he delivers some hard chops to the chest of CJ before CJ Baller fights back with some hard kicks to the rib area. Karl Baller grabs the ladder and uses it to ram TSJB’s face. TSJB falls down and KB sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring while the rest are still fighting or are outside. Brett Rayne sees KB setting up the ladder and he heads there while Bombshell is left alone to fight against Cane.
JR: “Karl Baller is preparing for the ladder and he is not aware of Brett Rayne’s impending arrival.”
He doesn’t have to, it seems, as CJ Baller runs towards Brett Rayne and takes him out with a thez press. CJ punches away on the face of Brett Rayne while we see Karl Baller slowly making his way up the ladder. He would be contested however by Andrew Radon who climbs up on the other side of the ladder. Outside the ring, we see TRD crashing through the steel steps and R.E. Rage quickly sliding into the ring.
JR: “Both AR and KB are making their way up the ladder to retrieve the prize. However, it seems like R.E. Rage has seen through it as well.”
RK: “Yeah, he just got in and he’s grabbing the nearby ladder. I wonder what plans he has with that.”
He lifts the ladder and rams it on AR’s body to send him falling from the ladder he was on. He does the same thing on KB and Baller too drops to the mat. Rage turns around only to be hit with a big boot to the face by Cane Deathscream who just tossed BS over the ropes a few seconds ago. “The Scorpion” Jack Blade sees his opportunity and starts to climb up the ladder. However, CJ Baller grabs him by the leg and pulls him back to the mat. CJ spins TSJB around and delivers a huge clothesline to take him down. A recently recovered Brett Rayne gets to his feet and runs towards Cane Deathscream to deliver a forearm smash from behind. CD falls down on one knee as Rayne starts to kick him around and giving Rage some time to recover. RNR work on Cane Deathscream on the corner for a while before Brett Rayne collects the ladder and places it down a few feet across the corner. Rage snapmares Cane and CD’s back hits the steel of the ladder.
RK: “OH! That’s gotta hurt for Cane. Now look at this JR, Brett Rayne hops onto the top rope and delivers a moonsault onto Cane who is on that ladder!!!”
TRD gets back in the ring and delivers a huge clothesline that sends R.E. Rage down the mat. Brett Rayne gets to his feet and is hit by a couple of clubbing blows to the back. TRD grabs Brett Rayne by the head before he rams him shoulder-first into the ring post. BR stumbles backwards and into an inverted DDT by TRD. CJ Baller stars to climb up the ladder to head to the contract. However, we see a recovered Bombshell running over to deliver a double axehandle on the back of his opponent. CJ Baller is stunned on the ladder while BS grabs him and slams him down the mat with a powerbomb.
JR: “Bombshell just drove CJ Baller back to the mat with a powerbomb! Bah gawd what an impact!!! On the other side of the ladder, we can see The Scorpion Jack Blade already recovered and is trying to make his way up. However, it seems like The Real Deal can see his attempt and is climbing up behind him.”
TSJB reaches up the top of the ladder and has one of his hand holding the contact. He tries to reach farther to dislodge it from the hook but TRD grabs him by the legs and sends both of them down in an electric chair drop variation. The ladder tips over and is now hanging on the ropes after the impact that the move by TRD has done.
RK: “You saw Jack Blade trying his luck, but unfortunately The Real Deal was there to stop him on his tracks.”
Karl Baller, Cane Deathscream and Andrew Radon scramble to their feet and converge to the middle of the ring. Cane tries his luck to grab the ladder, but AR punches him a couple of times. Cane Deathscream turns to Radon and delivers a huge punch that sends him down. KB tries to charge at Cane and he too suffers the same fate as AR. Cane Deathscream picks up the ladder and sets it up. R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne both get to their feet to see Cane starting to get on the ladder. Bombshell is there on the other side of the ladder to race up against Cane. RNR make a quick move to raise the other ladder beside the ladder Cane and Bombshell are on and start to climb up on theirs. All four men eventually make it up and it’s Cane Deathscream getting punched by Bombshell, Rage, and Rayne one by one. Cane tries to fight back with some punches on his own. It’s a 3-on-1 on both ladders while the other five men are up already in the ring. Jack Blade goes over to the side of Bombshell and delivers some clubbing blows on him to try and pull him down the ladder. Andrew Radon, on the other hand, goes on Cane’s side and hits him with some clubs on the back as well. On the other ladder, this gives RNR the chance to use their feet to tip over the other ladder that BS and CD are on. The ladder tips over and sends Bombshell on the mat while it sends Cane crashing down to the outside. AR and TSJB safely land on their feet and was not affected by the ladder.
JR: “RNR used that opportunity to take out the other ladder, but they are not fortunate themselves right now!”
RK: “You tell me, now it’s Karl Baller and CJ Baller who pull both RNR members down from that ladder.”
Karl and CJ spin Rage and Brett respectively to their direction before laying them out with a powerful punch. The Baller brothers yet again take out their opponents with another powerful punch as they get to their feet. KB and CJ Baller switch opponents and it’s KB who takes out Brett Rayne with a spinning forearm smash while CJ Baller takes out R.E. Rage with a running knee lift on the midsection. Andrew Radon and “The Scorpion” Jack Blade are locked up in the nearby corner. AR backs TSJB and delivers some hard knife edged chops, until TSJB fights back with some hard kicks to the side of Radon. Outside the ring, we see Cane Deathscream getting to his feet after crashing down from the ladder a minute or two earlier. TRD, in the meantime, is battling Bombshell inside the ring and both big men are punching and kicking the other to see who falls down first.
RK: “The Baller brothers are setting up that ladder yet again in the middle of the ring, JR! Weeks before this match, they told each other and the world that it’s only one of them that’s gonna get it.”
JR: “We might see some sibling rivalry right here, King.”
With Rage and Rayne down on the ring, it gives both CJ and Karl Baller the opportunity to climb up on the ladder that is left standing. However, the other two ladders would soon be set up by Rage and Brett Rayne respectively as they get to their feet. So while the brothers are climbing on opposite sides of the middle ladder, R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne climb on separate ladders that sandwich it. The four other men inside the ring are too busy fighting each other to notice the four men climbing, but a recovered Cane Deathscream enters the ring and soon climbs up the ladder where Brett Rayne is climbing up.
JR: “Five men are climbing up on three sets of ladders, the excitement is here King. Who is gonna get that contract?”
CJ and Karl Baller both reach the top of the ladder and they start to punch each other. The two brothers duke it out until R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne make it on top of the ladders beside them and punch them instead. R.E. Rage grabs Karl Baller by the head and rams him face first onto the topmost spot of his ladder. Rage connects with two more punches before he sends himself and Karl off their ladders with a sit down DDT.
JR: “BAH GAWD! Rage just drove KB and himself off those ladders with a sit-down DDT!”
RK: “Really? To me it looked like an X-Ocution from the ladder. R.E. Rage should remember, he’s Rage, not that drunken idiot!”
Brett Rayne and CJ Baller are just beside each other but are on opposite ladders. Both men start punching the other one that is until Cane Deathscream comes in and grabs both men by the throat. CD seems to be going for a double chokeslam but both men think otherwise. Brett Rayne and CJ Baller deliver some stiff shots to the face of Cane for him to loosen his grip on their throats. “The Scorpion” Jack Blade sends AR over the ropes after AR tried to run towards the corner. AR crashes to the outside while Jack Blade quickly makes a run for it up the ladder. CJ Baller and Brett Rayne continue to punch on Cane Deathscream while CD fights back with some throat thrusts of his own. TSJB climbs up beside CD and delivers some punches of his own before he grabs him and delivers an inverted DDT on CD that sends them both off the ladder. CJ Baller catches a punch from Brett Rayne and takes both of them off the ladder with the side-effect move.
JR: “Both Jack Blade and CJ Baller just took out their respective opponents off the ladder!!!”
RK: “No one has yet to get the contract hanging above, JR, but bodies are falling everywhere right now!”
Karl Baller and R.E. Rage slowly get to their feet and KB grabs Rage by the head. He delivers some had forearm smashes to the face until Rage pokes him in the eyes. Outside the ring, we see Andrew Radon slightly ticked off and is now searching under the apron for things of which he can use in this battle. Radon pulls out a table and tosses it inside the ring before sliding in. Bombshell takes out TRD momentarily with a bodyslam and turns around to get a punch from Andrew Radon. Radon fires off a few more shots before he goes for a clothesline. Bombshell ducks down and takes Radon to the floor with a big boot that sends AR…back outside. TRD gets to his feet and quickly sends Bombshell out of the ring with a huge clothesline.
JR: “The Real Deal, just took out Bombshell with that clothesline…but look who is coming from behind!”
RK: “Jack Blade just made a beeline towards TRD and takes him to the outside of the ring as well!”
TSJB turns around and is bumped by KB who was sent there by R.E. Rage with an Irish Whip. TSJB is knocked off the top rope while KB hangs onto the ropes. R.E. Rage tries to clothesline KB off to the outside but he ducks and sends Rage flying. Rage lands on the apron but not for too long. CJ Baller, who recently got up to his feet, grabs a ladder and rams it right on Rage to send him falling outside. He uses the ladder and makes it lean on the top rope. Right now the ladder has an incline that is directly in front of the five wrestlers. He calls for his brother Karl to do something with the ladder and KB obliges.
JR: “Karl Baller bounces off the ropes, and now runs over the slanted ladder. He launches himself there and SENTON SPLASH ON THE OUTSIDE! He just wiped out the five men outside the ring!”
The five men, plus KB, are slowly recovering on the outside while inside the ring, we see it would be CJ Baller’s time to imitate his brother Karl. However, as he tries to run towards the ladder, Brett Rayne is there to scout him with a huge clothesline. CJ Baller goes down and Brett Rayne puts in the boots on him for a few seconds before he himself runs over the ladder and does a dive towards the six men outside. Just like before, Brett Rayne crashes onto the six men outside the ring and all seven of them are laid out.
RK: “HOLY SMOKES! Brett Rayne gave a stage dive onto the six men outside the ring!”
Inside the ring, we see CJ Baller slowly getting to his feet and he sees Cane Deathscream on the top rope…facing the seven men outside the ring! CJ Baller sighs as he looks onto Cane standing on the top rope and anticipating the seven men to get up. Slowly, the seven wrestlers outside get to their feet and it’s Cane’s turn to fly up the turnbuckle. He descends on the seven men with a clothesline that sends down Rage, Brett, and Radon first before the other four are laid out due to the shove or force of the top rope maneuver delivered by Cane.
JR: “Cane Deathscream, from above, just took out the seven men outside the ring. Inside, there is only CJ Baller and he too seems conflicted if he would just climb up the ladder or do something similar to his brother and a couple of others that launched themselves to the outside of the ring.”
RK: “He has to be smart about this JR! This is his opportunity to get that…oh man…”
CJ runs up the ladder and delivers a splash on the eight men outside the ring. Once he hits, it’s official, all nine competitors are laid out on the outside of the X-WCW ring and the fans are going wild. Slowly but surely, all nine men get to their feet. RNR choose wisely to slide back into the ring while the 7 others are left there to fight amongst themselves if only temporarily. R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne set up the ladder in the middle of the ring yet again while the other two remain clattered amongst other things. Outside the ring, CJ and Karl Baller are trying to beat down on Cane Deathscream while Andrew Radon and TRD are duking it out. Bombshell and TSJB start to throw punches at each other until the Mad Bomber grabs TSJB and sends him crashing into the steel steps.
JR: “R.E. Rage and Brett Rayne start to climb that ladder, but it seems like Cane Deathscream just slid in after taking out both Ballers outside.”
RK: “And the look on Cane’s face translates to apparent danger for RNR.”
Cane picks up one of the ladders and he uses it to hit Brett Rayne who was trying to reach for the contract. Rage tries his luck, but he too gets hit by the ladder in Cane’s hands. Both men struggle on their ladders and try to reach for the contracts yet again. Cane smirks as he rams the ladder on Brett Rayne’s chest area to make him stop reaching for the contract. BR clutches his chest before he falls down after another hard shot from the ladder. Rage avoids the ladder as Cane tries to hit him with it the first time. Rage hops off from his ladder and clings onto the suspended contract once Cane’s ladder smacks the ladder he was on and tips it over.
JR: “Rage has a hold of that contract, but it seems that he cannot reach it to make it fall off the hook!”
RK: “He could! However, I think Cane has some other ideas for him.”
Indeed Cane has, as the big blue machine uses the ladder to ram Rage on the stomach region. The first hit makes Rage shout in agony but he still holds onto the contract while being suspended on top of the ring. Cane delivers a second hit on Rage’s abdominal region and he falls down and crash lands on the mat. The crowd seems to be partially silent as Rage does not seem to be moving from his position. Back inside the ring, The Baller brothers come back and attack Cane Deathscream at the same time from behind. CD drops the ladder from his grasps and CJ and KB back him into a nearby corner.
JR: “CJ Baller isolates Cane Deathscream on that corner while it seems that Karl Baller is setting up that wooden table inside the ring.”
RK: “We are gonna get some wood now, JR! Remember, Andrew Radon originally put that wooden table in the ring and now I guess we will see it be put to use.”
Both Karl Baller and CJ Baller set Cane Deathscream on the top turnbuckle before we see CJ Baller climbing up. He sets up Cane Deathscream for a superplex, but Cane blocks it. Back outside, TRD tries to deliver a clothesline on Bombshell but it’s blocked. Bombshell spins him around and decks him hard with an elbow to the face. Bombshell slides into the ring and sees KB. Before KB would notice him, he takes him down with a huge clothesline. He sees CJ Baller and Cane Deathscream struggling on the nearby corner and he goes over there to see what he can do. Bombshell goes over there and delivers a hard club to the back of CJ Baller before he goes into the corner to deliver a powerbomb. From his powerbomb, CJ Baller grabs onto Cane Deathscream and pulls off the superplex from the corner. In one instance, CJ Baller and Cane Deathscream are driven into the table and the wooden furniture breaks in half due to the impact.
JR: “Bombshell just sent CJ Baller and Cane Deathcsream into that table! BAH GAWD!”
RK: “Well he can’t get some rest now, cause Karl Baller just got to his feet and his heading his way over to the Mad Bomber!”
Bombshell is taken by surprise as KB runs up to him and takes him down with a spinning heel kick. KB gets to his feet and waits for BS to get up before leveling him with a spinning wheel kick that connects to Bombshell’s jaw. Brett Rayne gets to a vertical base and sees the carnage inside the ring. Outside, however, we see the three combatants TSJB, TRD, and AR fighting amongst themselves for a few seconds. The three men realize that they are the only three people outside and observe the ring briefly before re-entering. Brett Rayne goes after KB and tries to deliver a clothesline, but KB ducks down and catches BR with some stiff punches to the face. Jack Blade and Andrew Radon start to double team on TRD inside the ring and back him near the ring post.
RK: “Radon and Blade are surely putting the boots on The Real Deal on that corner, JR!”
JR: “Back on the other side, Karl Baller just knocked Brett Rayne off his feet with a well executed dropkick. However, from behind, Bombshell locks on a sleeper hold against the former X-WCW World Champion.”
RK: “Ah, but you gotta acknowledge that Bombshell is a former X-WCW World Champion as well, JR. A former champ just locked in that sleeper hold against another former champ.”
Bombshell has KB on a sleeper hold and Brett Rayne capitalizes on it as he deliver some punches to the stomach of KB. Bombshell lets go as KB goes down on his knees after repeated shots from Brett Rayne. R.E. Rage finally moves around and he is helped up by Bombshell and Brett Rayne. Cane Deathscream and CJ Baller slowly stir up after crashing through the table and the Revolution members take notice of that fact. The three Revolution members start to stomp down on CJ Baller and Cane Deathscream. On the other side of the ring, we see both TSJB and AR whipping TRD off to the ropes. TRD comes back and surprises both men with a double DDT to take down his opponents.
JR: “Just when you thought he was overpowered, The Real Deal springs back into action, taking both Radon and Jack Blade to the mat with that double DDT.”
The Real Deal gets to his feet and sees the 3-on-2 that the Revolution members are doing. He tries to go even up the odds for Cane and CJ Baller, but Jack Blade gets to his feet and spins TRD around. He connects with a punch, but TRD fights back with a hard punch of his own. TSJB is sent reeling to the ropes and eventually crashes down to the outside after TRD follows it up with a hard boot to the chest of his opponent. With the obstacle out of his way, TRD heads onto the other side of the ring where he tries to “clean house” with the help of one of the ladders. He rams the ladder on the back of Bombshell and the Mad Bomber falters. Rage and Rayne turn around to see TRD trying to deliver a ladder shot to them as well but they both duck down…and TRD accidentally knocks Cane Deathscream to the outside of the ring.
RK: “Well that was a rather unexpected twist of events if I do say so myself, JR.”
TRD turns around with the ladder and he knocks Brett Rayne down with the ladder that swung wildly. Rage avoids the swing and takes TRD down with a double leg takedown. A recovered Karl Baller bounces off the ropes and delivers a spinning elbow smash on an incoming Andrew Radon. Rage gets to his feet and is caught with a boot to the gut by CJ Baller. CJ delivers some clubs to the back of Rage before Rage fights back with a face rake that momentarily stuns CJ Baller. Rage bounces off the ropes, but is slammed down to the mat by a spinebuster from CJ Baller.
JR: “CJ Baller put the hammer down on that spinebuster against Rage!”
RK: “Man, I think he just hurt Rage’s spinal area all over with that move.”
Rage groans in pain from the move delivered by CJ Baller. Karl Baller waits for Andrew Radon to get to his feet before he goes for a jumping sidekick. He goes for the kick, however, Radon ducks down and Karl accidentally levels his own brother CJ and sends him over the ropes. CJ crashes to Cane Deathscream on the outside and both men fall down. Inside the ring, Andrew Radon grabs Karl Baller and sets him up for the systematic breakdown (celtic cross) but KB slips off and lands behind Radon. Radon does not have time to turn around as R.E. Rage grabs him and drives him to the mat with a double underhook DDT. KB uses this time to set up a ladder in the middle of the ring, but Rage is there to attack him even before he could climb up.
RK: “Rage noticed Karl Baller trying to get up on that ladder, but as long as Rage is aware, nothing like that is gonna happen.”
TRD gets to his feet, just the same that Brett Rayne gets to his feet. The Playboy knocks TRD to the corner with a quick playboy kick out of nowhere. TRD staggers towards Brett Rayne and is taken down by the Rayne Drop.
JR: “Rayne Drop on TRD and he goes down hard on the mat!”
KB uses his elbows to smack the forehead of Rage and try to get him off of his way. Rage staggers back from a powerful elbow that hit him between his eyes. Outside the ring, we see Jack Balde pulling out multiple tables and starts setting them up on the outside. On the other side, Cane Deathscream and CJ Baller start to slug it out with hard punches on the other competitor. R.E. Rage grabs KB by the leg and successfully pulls him back on the ring. Rage spins KB around and knocks him off his feet with a dropkick to the face. KB gets to his feet and Rage delivers a hard knee to the gut of his opponent. While Rage has KB in a side headlock, we see Brett Rayne climbing up the ladder. On the other side of the ladder, it won’t be empty as a recovered Andrew Radon starts to climb up. Bombshell, the almost forgotten man, gets another ladder and sets it up beside the ladder of BR and AR. The four men start climbing inside the ring while on the outside of the ring, beside the ring specifically, we see “The Scorpion” Jack Blade completing his stack of tables that would amount to 4 pieces of stacked wooden tables. Three tables are at the base while there is one lone table on top of the three.
RK: “Looks like Jack Blade got himself an art project outside the ring, JR.”
JR: “With his stack of tables done, I think it’s high time for him to get back in the ring as three men are at the top of the area. Brett Rayne, Andrew Radon and Bombshell are now competing for that contract.”
All three of them start to punch the other on top of their respective ladders. Bombshell blocks a punch from Radon and delivers a nasty headbutt that sends AR into a dizzy spell. Brett Rayne uses this moment to deliver a hard axe handle over the head of AR to make him fall down from his ladder. Bombshell moves to the other ladder now that AR is not there to try and reach for the contract, but Brett stops him by grabbing his hand. Brett uses his free hand to deliver punches on his fellow Revolution member. Bombshell fights back with punches of his own. While both men struggle to get the contract, we see KB getting out of the headlock with some elbow strikes to the gut of Rage and whips him into the ropes. Both men go down as KB and Rage do a crossbody at the same time. Jack Blade comes into the ring in time for him to tip over the ladder of Bombshell and Brett Rayne. The two Revolution members crash down to the stack of tables that Jack Blade prepared on the outside. Numerous sounds of broken wood and the gasps of the audience members are heard in the arena before seconds later we would hear…
“HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!”
JR: “OH BAH GAWD!!! Bombshell and Brett Rayne just took a nosedive into that horrendous wooden monstrosity that Jack Blade concocted outside the ring!!!”
RK: “…….WHAT?”
Outside the ring, Bombshell and Brett Rayne are not moving. CJ Baller and Cane, however, continue their slugfest outside. Deathscream waylays CJ Baller a while with a throat thrust before he levels him with a big boot to the face. Cane goes to the apron and pulls out a steel chair. He waits for CJ to get to his feet and blasts him over the head with it. CJ falters down on his knees before he eventually falls face first on the padding of the ringside area. Back in the ring, Karl Baller gets to his feet and delivers a running enzugiri to a recovering R.E. Rage. The Real Deal approaches Jack Blade, who is setting up the ladder again, and grabs him from behind. TRD has TSJB in a Cobra Clutch hold and suddenly slams him to the mat.
JR: “Cobra clutch slam by TRD and Jack Blade is down on the mat.”
The Real Deal turns around and is met by a punch from Karl Baller. KB connects another punch that stuns the bigger man before he tries to deliver a discus punch that sends TRD leaning on the ropes. R.E. Rage gets to his feet and attacks KB from behind with a hard club over the head. He spins KB around and connects with some knife edged chops. Rage tries to whip KB into the ropes, but KB reverses it and Rage walks into a huge powerslam from TRD. TRD rises to his feet and blocks a punch from KB before he grabs him by the throat. He lifts him with both hands, but all of a sudden his grip falters and he goes down on his knees thanks to a low blow from “The Scorpion” Jack Blade.
JR: “That damn cheat! He just hit TRD in the nether regions!”
KB gets to his feet and he narrowly avoids a clothesline from Jack Blade. KB takes TSJB out momentarily with a dropkick. Cane Deathscream re-enters the ring and goes right to the ladder. He sets it up, but Andrew Radon is there to attack him from behind with a flurry of clubs to the back. Karl Baller grabs a ladder and is about to set it up beside Cane’s, but TSJB spins him around and steals the ladder away from his grasps. Jack Blade slams the ladder across the mid-section of KB and he crumples to the mat. TRD gets back to his feet but TSJB swings the ladder at him and he crashes to the outside of the ring. TSJB tosses the ladder to the outside and is going to get out of the ring, until KB grabs him from behind and slams him down with a back suplex. Radon tries to deliver a suplex on Cane but CD lifts Radon up and delivers a front suplex. With Radon down, Cane Deathscream starts to climb up the ladder.
JR: “Cane is trying to go up the ladder now, but wait a minute! Karl Baller is there on the other side of the ladder and is making his ascent as well!”
Rage gets to his feet and tips over the ladder before any of the two would make it up. Both men roll to the mat safely but just had their opportunity to get the contract shortchanged by R.E. Rage. Outside the ring, we see TRD picking up the ladder and placing it between the ring apron and the crowd barrier. CJ Baller comes him from behind and delivers some hard punches to TRD. He lifts TRD up and bodyslams him on the mat. CJ Baller mounts TRD onto his shoulders and places him lying on the ladder he set up seconds earlier.
JR: “In a stroke of irony, The Real Deal lays prone on the ladder in which he just set up moments ago. CJ Baller is hitting TRD’s head hard with those closed fists and is not letting him get out of that ladder.”
RK: “Whatever CJ is thinking, I think it’s not gonna bode well for good ol TRD!”
CJ Baller slowly gets on to the apron and turns his attention back to TRD. He stomps him down on the apron before he turns around to see an incoming Andrew Radon. He stops AR with a shoulder block and sends him outside with a suplex. AR lands right onto TRD and there are now two wrestlers on top of the ladder.
RK: “Man, is that ladder gonna hold, JR?”
JR: “I have no clue, King but whatever CJ Baller is attempting to do on that top turnbuckle might makes things get interesting.”
CJ Baller is standing on the top rope and is facing the ladder, until someone puts his hand on his throat. The camera zooms out and it shows Cane Deathscream standing on the second rope while he has CJ Baller on his hands. He lifts him high up and chokeslams him onto the ladder where TRD and Andrew Radon were lying on. The sheer weight and force of the CJ Baller getting slammed into the ladder that already housed two wrestlers breaks the ladder in two and all three men are laid to waste on the outside of the ring.
JR: “OH MAH GAAWWWWWDDD!!! Cane Deathscream had the balance and strength to drive CJ Baller through Radon, TRD, and that steel ladder.”
RK: “Man, and I thought we needed four new tables. I guess we can add a new ladder to the X-WCW shopping list after this night is over.”
The three men seem to be not moving, just like Bombshell and Brett Rayne who are now being checked upon by a couple of X-WCW road agents that appeared in ringside a few minutes back. Inside the ring stood four men: Cane, Jack Blade, R.E. Rage, and Karl Baller.
JR: “After all the carnage this match has put through, King, four men out of the nine are left standing in the ring. On four corners they are looking at the other three and all four men are in the center of the ring! Karl Baller and Jack Blade are delivering punches to one another while it’s Cane Deathscream and R.E. Rage slugging it out on one end.”
Cane Deathscream takes Rage down with a hard throat thrust and waits for him to get to his feet before clasping his hand around Rage’s throat. Cane tries to lift Rage up, but Rage kicks him below the belt to loosen to hold on his throat. It clears out and Rage takes CD to the mat with a DDT. Jack Blade goes on spaghetti legs after KB delivers a forearm strike to his face. KB bounces off the ropes and takes JB down with a flying forearm smash. On the other side, R.E. Rage grabs the ladder and makes it lean on the nearby corner. There, he sends Cane Deathscream and CD hits back first onto the steel ladder. He delivers some punches and kicks to the nTo member before Cane fights back with some kicks to the midsection of Rage. Cane Deathscream grabs Rage by the throat and does the switch-er-roo. Cane tosses Rage onto the ladder while he is now facing the ladder and pummeling R.E. Rage on the corner/ladder.
RK: “Cane shifted the tide on that corner against Rage and this does not look good for Rage.”
JR: “On the other side, Karl Baller is primed to wait for Jack Blade to get to his feet. Blade is up, he gets a kick to the stomach from KB. KB with the bounce off the ropes goes for an axe kick but Jack Blade avoids it and delivers a stiff uppercut to Karl Baller.”
KB is stunned momentarily and TSJB uses this opportunity to toss KB to the outside of the ring. Cane tries to charge at Rage on the corner and the ladder, but Rage gets out of the way and delivers a single leg takedown on CD. Cane falters and falls face first onto the ladder. Cane is prone on the ladder, which is leaning on the corner of the ring, and Rage turns around to see an incoming TSJB. Rage catches TSJB with a boot to the gut and delivers a knee strike for good measure. He has TSJB on his hands and rams him towards the corner with CD. Jack Blade hits head on with the steel of the ladder and crumples on the mat while Cane Deathscream goes down on his knees and eventually falls as well.
RK: “I know you’d hate to hear this, JR, but I think Rage has got this one now!”
JR: “It would seem that way, King because R.E. Rage is the lone man standing in that ring as we speak.”
Rage looks up at the contract and grabs the ladder on the other side. He sets it up quickly and starts to move on up. However, we see Karl Baller standing on the apron of the ring. Seconds later, he leaps from the apron to the top rope, and from there he hops onto the ladder. KB is now on the same ladder as Rage.
JR: “Baller just made a huge leap towards the ladder and he got to it at the right timing! He has some superb athleticism!”
RK: “I think he can go to the Olympics for that high leap off the ropes and onto the ladder, JR.”
Rage reaches out for the contract, but KB is there on the other side to deliver some punches to the gut of Rage. KB climbs up one step and he gets a stiff shot from Rage on the head. Rage almost falls off the ladder, but he clutches onto the top of the ladder. At the same time, KB tries his luck to get the contract for himself. Seconds later, Rage grabs KB and rams him on the top step of the ladder to waylay his efforts of getting the contract. KB is dazed and Rage reaches out for the contract while he is free. He almost unhooks it, but KB delivers a hard punch right on the chin of R.E. Rage. Rage loses his grip of the contract and is floundering on the top of the ladder. Before he could hold onto something KB grabs him by the head before he takes him off the ladder with a headbutt.
JR: “HEADBUTT FROM BALLER! Rage crashes down off the ladder and KB is all alone!”
RK: “NOOOO!”
Baller reaches for the contract and he successfully unhooks it to win the match. The bell rings and KB’s music starts to hit the speakers. The fans are on their feet as KB climbs down the ladder with the contract.
THII: “The winner of the match…KARL BALLER!!!”
JR: “This was a very brutal and breath taking match to say the least, King!”
RK: I know what you mean, JR. I was on the edge of my seat for almost every minute of this match. However, we still got a lot more in store for everyone here in our 100th show.”
JR: “You are right, King. Folks, Ground Zero IV still has a few more matches for you to be shocked and awed so please stay tuned!”
Karl Baller celebrates his win inside the ring as GZIV goes to a brief commercial break.
X-WCW U.S. Championship
The Young One Sandy Drake vs. Sean Byrne (c)
X-WCW’s 100th show comes back and we get a shot at the announce table.
JR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV: The Return! Up next we will have the United States Championship on the line as “The Boston Rocker” Sean Byrne defends against “The Young One” Sandy Drake.”
RK: “These two are very talented JR, so this would be a fairly even contest.”
JR: “Let’s check out how this all transpired.”
***
The video package plays and we see Sean Byrne holding the US title on his shoulder while he stands on the stage. The clip slowly fades into a footage of him knocked out on the ring as we hear the following voice over.
SB V.O.: “Ever since I got this US title, people left and right tell me that I don’t deserve it. They tell me that I haven’t paid my dues.”
We see Bonito slapping Byrne hard on the face before it shifts into Byrne hitting a hard clothesline to take Bonito down. The video shows a slow motion clip of Bonito applying the anklelock on Byrne. We get to see a close up shot of Byrne struggling to get out of the clip.
SB V.O.: “But every time they say that I show them that I can prove them wrong, that I am what I say I am: A Champion.”
We see a clip of Byrne hobbling up and getting his hand raised by the ref after his Starrcade match with Mark Marlin. We get to see Sean Byrne shouting at the crowd while he hoists up his US title before the clip fades. The footage fades back in and we see Sean Byrne clutching the US title and staring at it. On the background, we see a dilapidated building and some lightning in the background. Slowly, Byrne looks at the camera before while his voice over hits again.
SB V.O.: “So tell me, go ahead, I didn’t pay my dues to get this title. My blood, sweat, and tears would prove you otherwise. I am a champion, and I paid a hard price for being one.”
The video fades into black before it goes back up to see TYO looking at the distance. He is in the same old background as where we last saw Byrne and we hear his voice over.
TYO V.O.: “I know what it feels like to be a champion…”
We see a clip of TYO holding the X-WCW Xtreme belt high in the air while he is standing tall inside the ring.
TYO V.O.: “At the same time, I felt how hard it was to get it taken away from me.”
The video shows TYO down and out inside the X-WCW ring before it shows the following words…
Warzone 35…
The video shows highlights of the four way elimination match for the no. 1 contendership for the US title. We see TYO delivering the ABB superkick on Seith in slow motion before we hear some commentary.
SB: “The ABB on Seith and both men are down! This is intense rockin action if I do say so myself!”
The video shows TYO getting the pin and he gets his hand raised by the ref soon afterwards. Enter some generic rock music into the video and we see Sean Byrne standing up from his seat and facing the ring.
SB: “Great, I’m going to like this match.”
The video fades to black as we see a parting shot of both TYO and SB staring at each other with the former inside the ring while the latter remains outside.
***
THII: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship!!!”
JR: “Well, SOMEONE had to have a Mike Adamle moment...”
RK: “Did it have to be her? I mean, she's hot, but is she REALLY blonde?”
“Top of the World” by All American Rejects plays as Sandy Drake slowly steps out, smirking as he raises an arm, looking around the group as he rubs his chin, smirking and posing to the crowd.
THII: “Introducing first, standing at Six foot and weighing two hundred and nineteen pounds...The Young One, SANDY DRAKE!!!”
JR: “Well, there's someone who's DEFINITELY confident of themselves....”
RK: “No shit, he ditched Karl Baller long ago, thinking he could go his own way, and look where he is, he has a shot. Mind you, it's not for a MAJOR title, but it works.”
JR: “Uhm King…I think that was The GREAT ONE…who now calls himself Andrew Radon who was a former partner of Karl Baller. Usually you’d know your facts. Are you sure that’s you Randal or did you and Mike Adamle switch bodies again?”
RK: “Haha…very funny. That worked on Terri but that won’t work on me.”
TYO slides into the ring, smirking as he sits up, flexing a bit and chuckling, looking around to the crowd for a moment before his music slowly fades out. Suddenly, ACDC BLARES out of the speakers.
JR: “Whoa, here's the champ now. Maybe he can smack some sense into a cocky Drake.”
RK: “Don't count out Drake though, he does have the quickness advantage.”
Sean raises the title above his head, taking a swig of the alcohol nearby as he chuckles, tossing it behind him before charging into the ring and sliding inside, standing up and staring down Drake, holding the title above his head as if to say “Here's your shot, take it.”
JR: “How's this for a pose off, Drake's cockiness just oozed away from him at that look.”
RK: “No, I think that's just a little brown stain on his leg...”
JR: “Really? You're just seeing things there...”
RK: “What? I can't crack a joke?”
Sean hands his title to the ref, who raises it above his head before showing it to Drake. Drake nods, a smile on his face as the bell rings and Drake slowly walks forward, extending his hand. Byrne shakes it before backing off and the two circle each other.
RK: “Just like a bad spaghetti western...”
JR: “This always happens, let's just see----“
Suddenly, Drake charges forward and attempts to hit Byrne with a clothesline. Byrne just ducks, sidestepping Drake on the run back before hitting a dropkick straight to Drake's chest. Drake falls as Byrne gets up, raising his arms and smirking.
JR: “And first shot goes to Byrne, stopping Drake.”
Drake stands up, looking over at Byrne before going for a tie up, Byrne getting him in a headlock, holding him before Drake bounces him off the ropes, shoving him away. Drake bounces off the ropes and ducks the shoulder charge before bouncing back and throwing his entire body onto Byrne, knocking him over before aiming punch after punch on Sean's face.
After a quick moment, Drake gets up, moving back and glaring at Sean as he slowly starts to get up, aiming a kick towards Sean's face, but Sean leans back, missing the kick before rolling over as Drake jumps over him before Sean quickly gets onto his feet and aims a dropkick at Drake.
RK: “And Drake eats a face full of Sean's feet with that dropkick!!!”
Drake groggily moves as Sean bounces off the ropes, sliding into Drake as Drake now falls outside the ring. Drake sits there for a second, trying to get his eyes back forward as he slowly stands up. He looks up as he sees Sean toss his own body over the top rope and land on top of Drake, the both of them spilling out on the floor.
JR: “And the ref starts his count....getting to four pretty quickly!!”
RK: “Ummm, doesn't the ref ALWAYS seem to count fast?”
Immediately, Drake gets up and starts to roll back in, getting to his feet as the ref gets to 7. Sean starts to get up to his feet, barely able to hold himself as he rolls into the ring before the 10 count. Drake stays back, letting Sean get up as Drake smirks.
JR: “Looks like Drake has a plan....”
RK: “Yep, and this one looks like it's going to hurt, BAD!!!”
Drake runs, using the rope as momentum as he attempts a superkick, which Sean ducks and waits for Drake to turn around, running SMACK into a clothesline.
JR: “And Sean has a lot in his tank!!!”
RK: “Let's just see if Drake can turn this around!”
Drake and Byrne slowly stand up, panting from the excursion of their match as Byrne bounces back off the ropes before tossing himself into Drake, hitting a flying Lariat before getting up and moving up to the top rope, wiping the sweat from his brow as he sits up there for a second.
JR: “The Rocker's going to the high rent district, let's see if this pays off!!!”
Sean leaps, aiming a Seanton bomb, but Drake puts his legs up, Sean's back landing on his knees as he curses loudly, rolling off and arching his back. Drake quickly gets up, having more energy than you thought.
RK: “And he eats knees, now Drake's got the advantage!!!”
Drake smirks, flexing his right leg a bit as Byrne slowly stands up before hitting him with a HARD Superkick!!
JR: “Oooh, the “Age Before Beauty”. He's going for the pin!! It's 1....2.....and 3!”
The bell rings as Drake stands up, raising his arms up a bit as he licks his lips.
THII: “Your winner, and the NEW United States Champion......”The Young One” Sandy DRAKE!!!!”
RK: “Well, he proved that he has the chops to keep the title.”
JR: “Yeah, but I expect that Sean will be right behind him at some point, waiting for that rematch.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as we see TYO celebrating his win.
*****X-WCW’S GREATEST MOMENTS*****
Starrcade: Extreme
Starrcade: Extreme
We are shown Cyberstrike about to grab the contract when Eamon X punches him in the gut and that stuns him! Eamon X tries to grab the contract but Cyberstrike slams his head into the top of the ladder! We then see Cyberstrike attempts to get the contract but Eamon X grabs his arm and slams it into the top of the ladder!
JR: “Neither one of them is going to let the other get the contract!”
RK: “Come on Cyberstrike!”
Suddenly a figure jumps over the guardrail and quickly slides into the ring and pushes the ladder over sending both Cyberstrike and Eamon X crashing through the tables near the entrance ramp!
JR: “I don’t believe my eyes it’s Tony Bonito! Bonito is back!
RK: “What is he doing here?!”
Bonito repositions the ladder and climbs it and grabs the contract! The referee signals for the bell!
JR: “I don’t believe what happened after these two gave us everything they had and to have it taken away from them all because of that no good son of a bitch Tony Bonito!”
RK: “Damn him! Damn him to Hell! You’re going to pay for this outrage Bonito that I promise you!”
The video fades as Bonito tosses the contract over the prone bodies of Eamon X and Cyberstrike.
******************************************
Backstage
We go backstage and we see Tony Bonito and John Crook. The cameras zoom out and we also see Cole Ryan with them.
CR: “Welcome back to Ground Zero IV! I am here backstage with the X-WCW CEO John Crook and the X-WCW World and Heavyweight Champion, Tony Bonito. So what are your plans for tonight’s matchup?”
JC: “Plans? What other plans do we need to have than to dominate the competition? We don’t care who the hell this Team XS is Cole. Point blank, I’ll tell you that me and Tony will sweep them on the floor. In me, you got the greatest mind in the X-WCW, a man who has yet to be pinned or forced to submit in that very ring. In Tony, you got the best of the best. He is the greatest professional wrestler in the history of this industry and no one should deny that fact.”
CR hands the mic over to Tony Bonito who directs his attention to the camera.
TB: “You just saw the latest ‘greatest’ moment in X-WCW history that involved me, Cole. Just like at Starrcade: Extreme, and just like any show I’m on…I’m bound to make an impact. Tonight, me and John will not only win, but we will make an impact. Now, aint that nito?”
Before Cole could ask again, both men leave the area.
X-WCW Championship
Tag Team Throwdown
Team XS vs. John Crook & Tony Bonito (c)
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the 100th show of the X-WCW, Ground Zero IV!!!”
RK: “Right now is time for our main event, JR! OH BOY! The suspense is really killing me. I still have no clue who Team XS is!”
JR: “Right now, let’s show the audience just how this match got into fruition in the first place.”
***
The video package opens up with a clip from the past.
Vendetta 3…
The video package shows a black and white footage of D-Extreme and Chris Back inside the same ring.
JR: “These two, regardless of their friendship, really put a good fight tonight against each other.”
RK: “You said it, JR!”
Both men shake hands before they go to separate corners to pose with their belts. The clip goes to slow motion as both men celebrate with their respective belts. However, the sound changes as a record being scratched and we see a full colored and real time clip of Tony Bonito hopping off the railway in black t-shirt and jeans.
JR: “what in the blue hell?!”
The footage shows TB getting into the ring to blast CB from behind with a chair and eventually hitting him with the Nito Plex.
JR: “NITO PLEX!!! BAH GAWD!!!”
The footage shows CB down on the mat and it skips to where D-Ex attempted to deliver a big boot to TB. TB makes the big man fall down to a chop block on the legs and we see D-Ex being hit hard on the knee with the steel chair.
JR: “Oh my goodness…this is just wrong!”
RK: “Bonito knows about D-Ex’s injury on that knee, JR. Well, EVERYONE does…”
Bonito grabs D-Ex’s right leg and starts to apply the ankle lock on him. D-Ex quickly taps out to the move but Bonito continues to lock it on the big man. Bonito does a leg scissors on D-Ex and lies on the ring while he still has the submission move.
JR: “Will someone please just stop this heinous attack on D-Extreme?!”
The footage fades as TB continues to lock the move on D-Extreme.
X-Rumble…
The footage comes back with Bonito and Christopher Back’s match. We reach the part with Bonito smashing a light bulb over the head of CB before the bell rings.
JR: “9…10!”
RK: “Thank God it’s all over!”
TB: “We’re not done yet!”
JR: “Oh NO! What else can these three do!”
The footage shows Brett Rayne and R.E. Rage pick up Mr. Back and toss him over the ring ropes Back is handcuffed by Rage while Bonito goes and pulls down the gas-powered weedwacker and he turns it on! Rage and Rayne step away from him! Bonito puts the wire blade of the weedwacker on Mr. Back’s chest, and the video fades to black as we hear the agonizing scream of Chrstopher Back that was in unison of JR’s usual “BAH GAWWWWWD!!!”
The footage comes back on and we see turning the weedwacker off and he drops it. We see a shot of Bonito’s grin as we hear his voice over.
TB V.O.: “Now we’re done!”
The footage fades as we see CB being attended to by the EMTs.
Warzone 34…
We see John Crook on the X-Tron as he makes an announcement.
JC: “I have an announcement that concerns all 6 of you and also for the fans in attendance. At Starrcade: Revolution, the main event will be the X-WCW World Championship match featuring Karl Baller, Ignavus, Otacon, Cane Deathscream, Tony Bonito, and Andrew Radon! Furthermore, all six participants will compete under a Rage in a Cage: Sinister Six Elimination match!!!”
We see shots of all six men at ringside, all are shocked to hear the match and it’s stipulations.
JR: “BAH GAWD KING! Did you hear that?!”
RK: “The cage is back, JR. Remember the last time that structure reared it’s ugly head?”
JR: “It has been 4 years King, and now it’s back thanks to John Crook.”
Starrcade:Revolution…
We see the steel structure being lowered in the ring, at a height of twenty feet high with a two foot high truss on top of the cage. The video fades to black for a few seconds before it comes back to show Karl Baller and a waiting Tony Bonito
JR: “We’re down to the final two Karl Baller and Tony Bonito!”
RK: “Both men have been through Hell tonight!”
The footage shows various clips of KB and TB battling each other inside the steel structure before it shows a slow motion footage of Karl Baller delivering an axe kick on TB that sends him face first onto the laid X-WCW World Title Belt. We see KB pinning TB for the pin.
JR: “One..two…what the hell?!”
RK: “The lights have gone out in the arena!”
We see a man with black pants, boots, shirt, overcoat and a ski mask. The video goes black and white when the man hits KB with an inverted DDT. The video package skips over to the part where an unconscious Karl Baller is trapped in Nito’s ankle lock and cannot respond to the ring official, forcing the man to call for the bell.
TH: “KARL BALLER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED BY KNOCK OUT AND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH AND NEW X-WCW WORLD CHAMPION TONY BONITO!!”
JR: “I don’t know what to say, other than Baller got screwed big time!”
We see the Revolution members escort TB to the outside and celebrate their win.
Warzone #35…
The footage opens and we see the nTo locker room where the nTo plus Cyberstrike and D-Extreme discuss a few matters.
CB: “The most dangerous tag team in the history of this business, it took a lot of convincing but they have agreed to come to Ground Zero IV, but only if they can challenge Crook and Bonito in the main event for the X-WCW Championship.”
D-EX: “On Nitro #25 you will challenge any member of the Revolution to a cage match and add the stipulation that when you win you pick the main event for Ground Zero IV. And in the unlikely event that you lose the nTo will disband forever. The rest of you will make sure that there are no screw jobs.”
D-Ex: “The most feared team in history.”
CB: “I almost feel sorry for Crook and Bonito when they get into the ring with those guys, they’re crazier than anyone in this company.”
Cane looks up and smiles at his friends.
CD: “On Nitro #25 the Revolution won’t know what hit them.”
D-EX: “Excellent!”
Nitro 25…
The footage goes to Nitro 25 where we see Cane Deathscream inside the ring.
CD: “As you guys saw last Warzone, our dear friends Chris Back and D-Extreme came to visit us with an important message. Aside from that, they disclosed to us the names of the returning tag team to the X-WCW. That tag team I’ve mentioned wants a special tag team match at Ground Zero IV”
The footage skips to John Crook already in the ringside area with Cane.
JC: “I don’t care, quite frankly, about the mind games D-Extreme and Back are trying to play.”
CD: “Right now, I’m going to give you an opportunity to shut me and the nTo up for good. I challenge ANY of the Revolution to a special one-on-one match. If I win, I get to pick the main event of the next PPV…Ground Zero IV.”
While we hear Cane speak, we see the GZIV logo before it shifts back to John Crook.
JC: “That’s good to hear Cane. Now let me ask you this, what will we do when you LOSE?”
CD: “Quite simply, the nto will disband..FOREVER!”
The footage shows the Xtreme Cage while we hear the voice over of Crook.
JC V.O.: “So the one who will seal your fate tonight will be The Renegade. Oh, and in case you are wondering Cane, it will be inside an XTREME CAGE MATCH!!”
We see shots of The Renegade Ron Michaels and Cane Deathscream separately before we hear the voice over of Cane.
CD V.O.: “Crook, it’s a deal. And Renegade, tonight, prepare to meet hell, fire, and brimstone.”
We see a brief clip of the match between TRRM and CD before it ends with Cane Deathscream delivering the Deathkneel on TRRM.
JR: “Cane has the Renegade up and OH MY GOD!”
Cane and the Renegade off the ladder and right through the table, Cane is able to twist his body and land on the Renegade and goes for a pin.
RK: “Hook of the far leg, one…two…three Cane wins!”
The video fades momentarily as the referee raises Cane’s hand. The footage skips and we see Cane Deathscream with a microphone on his hand. Inside the ring, we see TB holding Otacon with the ankle lock.
CD: “On Ground Zero, it’s gonna be you and John Crook vs Team XS in a tag team throwdown match!”
TB, looking satisfied, releases Otacon while the rest of the revolution look at the stage where Cane is standing. Bonito has a smirk on his face before he snatches the mic from Renegade’s hands.
TB: “That’s more like it Cane. Team XS, I do not care who the hell they are, but tell them they have to be ready for me.”
The footage fades to black as we see Bonito pointing at Cane on the stage
Doubleshot #17
We see Flash Stryker and Xille inside the ring while FS has the mic in his hand.
FS: “As Xille said, the two of us are back here with a vengeance. If anyone wants to know why, it’s because at Ground Zero fo..”
The footage goes black and white as we hear the Revolution music in the background and the faction itself appears ringside.
JC: “We know why you two are here, Xille and Stryker. If it’s not obvious already to you or the fans, I figured it all out! Xille’s name starts with X while Stryker’s surname starts with S. At Ground Zero IV, Stryker, we know that you two are Team XS…and what excuse will you tell us now, you two are NOT Team X-S?”
FS: “Mr. Crook, I’ll be honest when I say that we are NOT Team X-S. We are going to be the special guest referee and time keeper of the main eve…”
He is cut off yet again as John Crook interjects.
JC: “BULLSHIT! Your names are too coincidental to say you are not Team X-S. Xille and Stryker, you guys should have waited for Ground Zero IV to come along instead of going here tonight.”
JC looks behind him and smirks at the sight of “The Renegade” Ron Michaels, Powermaster, and Bombshell.
JC: “Boys…GET THEM!”
The video shows the Revolution beating down on Stryker and Xille. With the damage done, we see Crook with a mic.
JC: “Cane, you see what the Revolution just did to your precious Team X-S?! LOOK AT IT! THEY WERE DESTROYED! THEY WERE DECIMATED! You were stupid to let them enter the arena before Ground Zero IV, and now your chance of revenge has gone away. Now what would you want to say about this?”
JC and the rest of the Revolution watch as Cane’s image appears on the X-Tron and actually has a smile.
CD: “What I have to say is this Crook, never jump to conclusions. It just so happened that the names of Xille and Flash ring X-S to people. However, they were who they said they were. They are not Team X-S. Hell, they don’t even KNOW who Team X-S is. I know who the two people are, but we just have to wait till Ground Zero IV. Looks like you lose this round Crook.”
The footage fades as we hear Cane Deathscream laugh in the background. The footage skips to a clip of a recent house show where we see D-Extreme and Tony Bonito.
D-Ex: “On Ground Zero IV, you are right, I will be a witness in your match. I’ll witness as one team will take you and Crook out. I’ll be watching as that team will make both of you pay for all the crimes you did to me, to Chris, and to all of those you two have wronged for the past 2 years in the X-WCW. Just like what you did to me, they will not only win, but they will take away something you hold dear. Those two belts of yours, hold on tight to it cause they will be shipped off from your shoulders soon.”
TB looks at his two belts one by one before he shakes his head at D-Extreme. D-Ex smirks and nods.
D-Ex: “Deny it all you want, Bonito, but just like everyone else who goes to the top…they would fall down sooner or later. You are on borrowed time, Tony, you and Crook.”
D-Ex slowly lifts the hand that is holding the mic and listens closely to his wrist watch while he says “TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK” in front of Bonito. Bonito looks shocked and shakes his head in reference of him keeping the title instead of the other way around. Soon, the video starts to play “Are You Ready” by Hazen Street as the clip slowly fades.
“We talk about it, Now be about it,”
The video shows John Crook walking confidently down the rampway before it shifts to him laughing inside the ring.
“It's not so hard to scream and shout it,”
We then see a clip of Bonito on the turnbuckle raising both of his belts before shouting “YEAH”
"Everybody's so down when it's safe and sound,"
The video shows Bonito locking the ankle lock on someone before it fades into…
“You wanna prove something, WELL DO IT NOW!!!”
The clip goes back to the D-Ex and TB clip where TB attacks D-Ex in the ring.
“Are you ready, So are you ready,”
We see Bonito hitting a moonsault from the top rope before it shifts to him hitting a forearm smash on Chris Back.
"Are you ready(are you ready), Are you ready(are you ready)"
The video footage shows Tony Bonito and John Crook raising each other’s arms in victory.
“Are you ready(are you ready), Are you with me or not?”
We see Bonito locking the ankle lock before it fades. The video goes on to show D-Extreme close up in the ring as he lies on his belly.
D-Ex V.O.: “TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK! Your time is almost up Bonito…hahahaha….TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK!”
The video shows Bonito glaring at D-Extreme from the stage. Bonito starts to shout at D-Extreme while the video fades to black.
***
THII: "The following match is your Ground Zero IV main event and is a special Tag Team Throwdown Match for the X-WCW World Championship! Team number one representing The Revolution from Chicago, Illinois he is the current X-WCW CEO John Crook and his tag team partner from Boston Massachusetts, he's the current and reigning X-WCW Champion and World Heavyweight Champion Tony Bonito!”
Both Bonito and Crook come out to ringside as "Fury of the Storm" by Shadows Fall plays in the background. The two men are booed heavily by the crowd as the camera shows Crook dressed in black pants and a black tank top. He walks with a confident swagger and has a big grin on his face. Tony Bonito is wearing red, white, and blue trunks with straps and he has the X-WCW Championship title belt around his waist and the new World Heavyweight Championship title belt over his shoulder, he walks confidently down to the ring as the fans chant: "You Suck!" at him he doesn't seem to care. He gets in the ring and unfastens the X-WCW Championship title belt and climbs to the second turnbuckle and holds it in his left hand and the World Heavyweight title belt in his right.
JR: "Tony Bonito's gonna have his hands full in this match, not only can he lose the X-WCW Championship if he's pin or if he submits but he can also lose if Crook is pin of he taps out."
RK: "Now wait minute here Crook knows how to win a match his victories on Warzone and on Doubleshot shows he knows how to win a match and with his partner Tony Bonito, a former two time X-WCW U.S. Champion, a former X-WCW IC Champion, X-WCW World Tag Team Champion, and is a former two time ACW Champion, not to mention his Olympic victory. And this is the guy who put both D-Extreme and Christopher Back on the shelf. This is one hell of a team I don't think Team XS have wrestled in over 8 years!"
Before Terri Hotbody can make the introductions for the nTo founders Crook grabs the microphone out of her hand.
JC: "Get lost you dumb bimbo! Cane I know you're back there with the rest of those losers called the nTo..."
Before Crook can get another word out of his mouth "Deadly Games" plays and Cane Deathscream, Raven Darkstorm, Alec Lightstar, The Real Deal, and Josh Leyh all come out each wearing the new "nTo back together again and better than ever!" t-shirts. Cane has the microphone and the fans chant "nTo! nTo!" Cane smiles and holds the mic towards the crowd and the rest of the nTo point to their shirts and this gets the crowd even more excited.
JC: "I'm going to make this simple so you and the rest of the idiots here can understand: who are we facing?"
Cane smiles, then speaks:
CD: "Indianapolis the nTo is in THE HOUSE!"
The crowd pops big time for this and Crook and Bonito just look annoyed.
JC: "Enough with the cheap pops and ten years old catch phrases and answer the question NOW! Or as God as my witness I will fire all of you right now!"
CD: "Don't get your panties in knot because after these guys get through with you; you'll need to change them!
First originally from parts unknown now residing in Charlotte, North Carolina he's the one and only the real Xtreme One...D-EXTREME!!"
"No Chance" by Dope plays as D-Extreme comes out wearing an "nTo the band is back and better than ever!" t-shirt, and a black pants, and he is greeted with a thunderous standing ovation!
JR: "D-EXTREME IS BACK AND HE LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER!"
RK: "You don't suppose his partner is..."
CD: "And his tag team partner from right here in Indianapolis, Indiana CYBERSTRIKE CHRISTOPHER BACK!"
The fans come out of their seats and they chant: "Welcome back!" at both of them! Cyberstrike also comes out wearing an "nTo the band is back and better than ever!" t-shirt, a long black trench coat, and a black pants. Both men high five the other members of the nTo as they head back to the locker room as Crook stutters something into his microphone.
JC: "Cane you said that Christopher Back wasn't one of them!"
CD: "That is true that I said Christopher Back wasn't one of them, but I never said anything about Cyberstrike Christopher Back!"
D-Extreme and Cyberstrike run into the ring and Crook and Bonito bail out of the ring to the floor. "Cyberstrike" Christopher Back pulls out a microphone from a pocket of his trench coat.
CSCB: "It's great to be back! Crook I knew you never accepted this match if you knew that you and fish face Bonito would be facing me and D-Extreme but now let’s up the ante shall we?"
Back pulls a piece of paper and a pen out of his trench coat and tosses it at Crook.
CB: "Crook you have something that is mine and I want it back I want the CEO position of this company again, so I had that contract drew up when me and D-Extreme win this tag team match not only will one of us walk out of Indianapolis the new the X-WCW Champion, but I'll also get you job! In the unlikely event that we should lose I'll leave the X-WCW and never come back ever!"
Crook and Bonito look at the contract and Crook walks over the announcer's table and signs it. He yells something at James Russell and then he replies.
JC: "You got a deal!"
Bonito and Crook head over to their corner and get on the ring apron. Crook demands to start the match, Back takes his trench coat off and D-Extreme starts for his team. Referee Sid Greene signals for the bell. D-Extreme stares at Crook and grins. Crook runs off the ring ropes and hits D-Extreme with a running shoulder block, it doesn't work. D-Extreme just stares at Crook. Crook tries again but he gets D-Extreme's boot in his face! Crook crashes to the mat hard and D-Extreme picks him up and places him in a bear hug and rams into his corner where he tags in Cyberstrike Christopher Back and fans goes nuts! But Cyberstrike is all business he nails Crook with a Breakdown out of the corner and points to D-Extreme. D-Extreme falls to the floor and Back rolls out of the ring and they each grab leg of John Crook and they pull him into the ring post, then they quickly slam each of his legs into the ring post!
JR: "For the last few shows we've heard how violent and ruthless this mysterious Team XS that Cane and the nTo were always talking about. I've never seen D-Extreme and Christopher Back this ruthless before!"
RK: "Imagine what Back is feeling for weeks he was in a coma after that brutal Hell's Chamber match, the doctors told D-Extreme that he might never wake up and when he woke up the first thing he heard was that Tony Bonito was the X-WCW Champion!"
JR: "This match is so personal for both of them remember that Bonito shattered D-Extreme's kneecap and it was thought that he might never be able to walk much less wrestle again. You can only imagine what they have in store for Bonito, if they can get hold of him."
Cyberstrike rolls back into the ring and tags in D-Extreme who picks up the defenseless Crook like a rag doll and tosses half away across the ring near Bonito and stands there daring him to tag himself in.
JR: "D-Extreme wants Bonito to tag himself in."
RK: "Bonito looks confused like he doesn't know what to do!"
JR: "He better do something because D-Extreme and Cyberstrike could finish Crook off easily and walk out of here as the new X-WCW Champion!"
RK: "Don’t forget that Crook would lose his job as CEO!"
Bonito finally tags in and he locks up with D-Extreme. Bonito kicks D-Extreme in the gut and goes for a Nitoplex, but D-Extreme quickly gets free and tries for an X-Octution but Bonito is able to shove D-Extreme into the ropes, when D-Extreme bounces off of them, Bonito leaps over him and D-Extreme grabs the ropes and quickly grabs Bonito and puts him into a Sleeper hold but Bonito nails him a few quick elbow jabs to the gut and breaks the hold. Bonito bounces off the ropes and D-Extreme is able to kick him in the face and he then points “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back and he tags himself in. The crowd erupts with applause and Bonito gets to his feet and sees his nemesis coming towards him he runs to corner where John Crook is finally back up to his feet and Bonito quickly tags Crook in and rolls out to the floor.
JR: “I think Bonito doesn’t want to face Mr. Back again!”
RK: “Can you blame him?! He put Mr. Back in a coma for six months! Mr. Back wants revenge.”
Crook and Bonito are arguing on the floor when from out of nowhere Mr. Back jumps hits a Cross-Body-Block on both of them! He grabs Crook and tosses him back into the ring and D-Extreme begins to beat up on him. Meanwhile Mr. Back takes Bonito and tosses him head first into the guardrail he then slams his head into the nearby ring steps! Back then tosses Bonito into the ring and D-Extreme picks him up and drops him snake-eyes on the turnbuckle pad and then sets him up for an Xtreme Factor! At the same time Mr. Back takes John Crook and sets him up for a Breakdown!
JR: “A Breakdown and an Xtreme Factor! That’s it…wait they’re not going for the pin!”
RK: “This could be a big mistake!”

CSCB: “Almost seven years ago in this very building and in this very ring after we threw out Y3B and then I had to pay millions of dollars to have Bombshell digitally replaced that bastard because he’s crybaby. It was just me and you and I jumped over the top rope and landed on the floor and you were crowned the first-ever X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion. One of the most asked questions that I gets asked is: why did you that? I did it because even though I own the X-WCW it’s a company where the best talent rises to the top. I got what I really wanted which was to get the CEO position again, then that means I’m very proud to present…”
D-Extreme grabs the microphone from him.
D-Ex: “Wait a minute here! What you did seven years ago was one the greatest things that anybody ever did for me and I will always be grateful for that. When I was given the chance to be the first X-WCW World Champion at that early part of my career, I took it as a big opportunity. But that was then and this is now. Me and you we have done it all we’ve held tag team titles in every company that we’ve been in and we have damn neared killed each other in every kind of crazy match you can think of, but if you think that I going to accept my third X-WCW Championship title on a silver platter, that will not do both of us justice! Now my estimate we have about 30 minutes left on this pay-per-view so how about this: D-Extreme versus “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back ONE MORE TIME; no weapons, cages, ladders, tables, chains, no nothing, just you and me in a good old fashioned wrestling match. C'mon Chris, me and you. ONE-MORE-TIME!"
The fans start chanting: “ONE MORE TIME!” D-Extreme hands the microphone back to Mr. Back and he looks around the Conseco Field House and finally responds.
CSCB: “You got it! Just understand that we go for thirty minutes and if there is no winner then the title is declared vacant!”
JR: “We got another match its D-Extreme vs. Christopher Back one more time!”
RK: “This night just got a lot more interesting!”
JR: “We’re going to quick break so we can get the ring cleaned up but when we come back it D-Extreme vs. “Cyberstrike” Christopher Back for the X-WCW Championship!”

JR: “I think it’s more personal that for D-Extreme, for years he’s wanted to prove that he’s the better wrestler of the two. That’s why he challenged Mr. Back to this match. And make no mistake Mr. Back wants to be the first man to ever hold the X-WCW Champion five times! The ref is up to seven!”
RK: “Also remember that these two have some of the most violent matches in this company’s history. Eight!”
JR: “The ref is up to 9…finally both men are up to their knees!”
