As Nitro opens we see the end of the Triple Cage X match from Ground Zero II.
Wolfang finds Cyberstrike's nTo Kendo stick and waits as Cyberstrike slowly gets back to his feet and he nails him right in the face with it sending Cyberstrike crashing down to the mat on his knees and Wolfang quickly nails him with with the Deathstalker and goes for the pin!
JR: "The Deathstalker and here is the pin 1...
RK: "Come on Cyberstrike kick out please!"
JR: "...2..."
RK: "I won't say a bad thing about anoyone or anything for the rest of my life!"
JR: "...3!! WOLFANG WINS!!"
RK: "NO DAMN IT! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! THIS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY!!"
TH: "THE WINNER AND FIRST-EVER ULTIMATE X-WCW WORLD CHAMPION WOLFANG!!"
As balloons and ticker tape fall from the ceiling and
Alice Cooper's "The Hurricane Years" plays referee
Mark Chambers hands Wolfang the X-WCW World
Heavyweight title and the ACW World title belt! He gets to fist feetand walks out of the Triple Cage with
both belts and some fans are cheering and others are booing!
JR: "What a battle!! These four men gave you everything they had and for Randal King I'm James
Russell we will see you next month at Bloodbath!
RK: "Damn you Wolfang!"
Wolfang stands on the entrace way holding
both belts in his hands rasied in victory as X-WCW
Ground Zero II comes to a close!
A black strecth limo pulls into the parking lot of Madsion Square Garden and out steps AWF owener
Bredan Reily.
BR: "So this is X-WCW Nitro I must say that I'm unimpressed so far."
Reily steps in MSG as the shows go on the air.
Randy Savage's "R U Ready X-WCW remix" plays as we
cut to a full crowd inside the World's Most Famous Arena. As massive pyros go off we see at the annoucer's desk James Russell and Randal King.
JR: "Hot of the heels of the biggest event in the history of professional wrestling X-WCW comes to you
live from Madison Square Garden! Where as you just
saw at the top of our program Bredan Reily the owner
of the AWF has arrived earlier today to present the
first-ever Ultimate X-WCW World Champion Wolfang
with his new title belt!"
RK: "Tonight the X-WCW TV Championship will be decided in perhaps the second most brutal match we
have Hell's Chamber!"
JR: "Well we've got the ring set up for Wolfang's presentation so lets to ring with Terri Hotbody!'
TH: "Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome the owner
of the Archive Wrestling Federation Mr. Brendan Reily!"
"I'm Back" fills MSG as Mr. Reily walks down to the ring.
He is booed as he walks to the ring with a smug look
on his face.
JR: "Mr. Reily isn't getting a very warm welcome!"
RK: "That's because he knows that X-WCW out did
the AWF in ppv buyrates and ticket sales for Ground Zero II!"
The ring is covered with a red carpet and in the center
of it is a glass case with the new Ultimate X-WCW
World Championship title belt. The belt looks like the
old World Championship Wrestling belt only a little bigger.
Reily enters the ring and Terri hands him the mic and leaves the ring.
BR: "Last night as I watched X-WCW Ground Zero II
I learned two things.
1 That Cyberstrike is a loser even in his own federation and 2 he must be desprate for ratings to have me present this this title belt! But as long as he paid me in cash for this I might as well get this unpleasant job over with!"
RK: "Are all the owners of the AWF assholes or are we
just lucky?"
JR: "No, they're assholes"
BR: "So I present to you *snicker* the first Ultimate
X-WCW World Champion WOLFANG!"
As Alice Cooper's "The Hurricane Years" hits MSG's PA system Wolfang walks out with the old X-WCW World
Heavyweight Championship title belt around his waist
and the old ACW World Championship title belt slung
over his right shoulder he gets a mixed reaction from the fans!
JR: "Wolfang is a former X-WCW US Heavyweight Champion, X-WCW Tag-team Champion, and a former
X-WCW World Heayweight Champion in addition to being a former AWF European Champion as well as being a former AWF Tag-Team Champion as well."
RK: "I think this has to be at the top of his resume."
Wolfang enter the rings and looks at his AWF nemisis
Reily.
BR: "I guess I have the honor of presenting you with
the new Ultimate X-WCW World Championship title belt!"
Reily opens the case and pulls out the title belt and just before he hands it to Wolfang he kicks Reily in the
mid-section and picks him up for the Wilderness!
RK: "WHAT THE HELL?!"
JR: "Wolfang just hit Reily with the Wilderness!"
Wolfang picks up the Ultimate X-WCW World title belt and the microphone.
Wf: "Thanks"
Wolfang takes belt and leaves for the backstage area as Nitro goes to comerical break.
X-WCW Xtreme title tournament
First Round match
Hard 10 match
Cyberstrike vs Nathan Green
TH: “The following match is for the X-WCW X-Title tournament. And it is scheduled for a hard 10 match!”
JR: “The Hard 10 match, its only one simple match King. You need to hit your opponent 10 times with any weapon and win it! Well you can get 5 points though if you put them through a table, the other items are one point each.”
RK: “Well JR I can tell you this, it WILL be a slobberknocker on this match! A Hard 10 match, a very GREAT way to make this tourney totally to be XTREME!”
“No one knows” by Green Day hits as Nathan Green enters the stage. He gets a good ovation by the fans as he makes his way to the ring.
TH: “Introducing first. NATHAN GREEN!”
Green enters the ring and goes to the top rope. He raises both arms to the crowd as they cheer on. He goes down as he awaits his opponent.
JR: “Nathan Green, 6’7 in height. A very talented wrestler to say the least Randal. He might have lost last PPV but let me tell you this, I think tonight is his night. He has a lot of potential here”
RK: “I dunno...cause if your facing a seasoned veteran in the ring like Cyberstrike I think you better give it your all. Lets just hope that Green’s talents wont be too green for him to get his ass handed to him by C-Strike”
“Immortal” By adema hits the PA System as Cyberstrike enters the stage with the nTo kendo stick. He raises it up as the crowd goes wild. He goes down the ramp as TH is about to introduce him.
TH: “And the opponent. From Indianapolis India. He is the leader of the nTo…CYBERSTRIKE!!!”
Cyberstrike slides in the ring and raises his kendo stick up in the air yet again before turning around and looks at Nathan Green. Both men go to the center of the ring and the bell rings to start off this match.
JR: “Cyberstrike looks at his kendo stick and smirks and he goes for a swing but Nathan Green just ducked that swing and tackles down Cyberstrike. Nathan Green hits a couple of rights and lefts to the face of Cyberstrike before he picks C-Strike up. He whips him to the ropes and goes for a tilt-a-whirl slam but Cyberstrike counters with a tornado DDT! Green is down as Cyberstrike gets up and grabs his Kendo stick”
Cyberstrike with a malicious grin on his face waits for Nathan Green to get up. As Green gets up and turns around, he is met by a hard smack over the head by the nTo Kendo Stick of Cyberstrike and goes down hard.
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Cyberstrike!”
RK: “Now that is one sickening smack across the head if I do say so myself. Green better avoid the next one cause Cyberstrike is approaching him and WHOA! He hits him again, this time on the back of Green.”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Cyberstrike”
Cyberstrike drops the Kendo Stick as he gets out of the ring and grabs one of the weapons that the crowd have in there. He manages to get a steel chair and slides back into the ring. Nathan Green gets up and sees Cyberstrike sliding the chair in before getting in as well. Nathan Green takes the initiative as he grabs the chair and blasts Cyberstrike across the head with it.
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green!”
JR: “Its Cyberstrike 2 and Nathan Green 1! Nathan Green picks up Cyberstrike and whips him across the ropes. He swings the chair as Cyberstrike bounces off but Cyberstrike ducks the swing and bounces on the other side. Cyberstrike hits a dropkick on the head of Nathan Green causing NG to drop the chair and stagger backwards and hang on to the ropes. Cyberstrike grabs the chair and blasts NG with it, sending Green to the outside hurt!”
RK: “AAARRGGGH! Now that should have hurt Nathan Green!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Cyberstrike!”
Cyberstrike drops the chair as he slides to the outside and grab Nathan Green. He sends Nathan to a crowd barrier and gets a cookie tray from the crowd before approaching NG. Cyberstrike swings it at Nathan Green but NG gets out of the way. Cyberstrike drops the tray as it impacted the steel of the railings and it kinda hurt his hands in some sort of way. NG runs towards C-Strike and hits a flying forearm smash that takes Cyberstrike down. Nathan Green picks up Cyberstrike and slams him head first to the steel barricade. Cyberstrike is then sent crashing into the steel steps. Cyberstrike is down as Nathan Green grabs a 2X4 from the crowd and raises it in the air before approaching Cyberstrike. Nathan Green waits for Cyberstrike to get up and he swings it at him. Cyberstrike however ducks to evade it and kicks NG to the midsection.
JR: “Cyberstrike evades plank swing and kicks Green. He delivers a few right hands on the face of Natahan Green and goes for a suplex. Nathan Green however blocks it and shoves Cyberstrike away, Green gets the 2x4 and swings it to the midsection of Cyberstrike sending CS to his knees.”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green!”
After a second, Nathan Green slams the 2x4 to the back of CS’s head.
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green!”
JR: “Right now its 3 all!!!”
Nathan Green drops the 2x4 and rolls Cyberstrike back to the ring. He grabs a trashcan from the crowd and tosses to the ring. He grabs a couple of items and sends them flying into the ring as well before sliding back in. He picks up Cyberstrike and whips him into the corner. Green gets the trashcan and runs towards CS with it to hit him with it but Cyberstrike sticks his foot out and it lets the trashcan bounce to the face of Nathan Green instead. Nathan Green falls backwards as Cyberstrike slowly gets himself up with the help of the ropes
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
RK: “Well Cyberstrike now leads by one point JR. Man that was a good move by Cyberstrike, sticking his foot like that. Not even D-Extreme would have that much IQ to pull that off”
JR: “Cyberstrike is up and grabs the garbage can. He raises it up and slams it to the back of Nathan Green. BAH GAWD WHAT A SICKENING SOUND THAT IMPACT JUST MADE KING!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
Cyberstrike grabs the garbage can and throws it to the outside. He picks up Nathan Green and whips him into the corner. Cyberstrike going to charge at him but Nathan Green hits Cyberstrike with his elbow. Cyberstrike staggers back as Nathan Green runs towards him and takes down CS with a running big boot. CS is down as Nathan Green grabs the trashcan lid.
JR: “Nathan Green has the trashcan lid and Cyberstrike is getting up. CS turns around and gets nailed by the trashcan lid held by Nathan Green!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green”
RK: “The gap is narrowing JR. Nathan Green is only trailing by one point! WHOA! Make that none..their both tied! That was a hard shot to the back of Cyberstrike”
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Nathan Green”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen it is all tied up at this point. Cyberstrike 5, Nathan Green 5. WHO will be the man to advance this X trouney by winning this Hard 10 match?”
RK: “I dunno….”
JR: “It is an even bout from this point huh King. Nathan Green drops the trashcan lid and picks up Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike is whipped to the ropes and NG goes for a big boot but Cyberstrike ducks and bounces to the other side of the ropes. NG turns around and Cyberstrike goes for a crossbody. Nathan Green however catches Cyberstrike and slams him down the mat with a front slam! What an impact there, and I believe Cyberstrike’s back would be in a world of hurt after that maneuver.”
Nathan Green grabs the nTo kendo stick from the ring and goes over to Cyberstrike. He stops as he sees D-Extreme at the stage holding a six pack of beer. D-Extreme goes down the ramp with a beer in his hand and the other one holding a steel chair.
JR: “NG stopping on his tracks as he looks at the sight of D-Extreme. What is D-Ex doing here?”
RK: “By the looks of things it seems like he wants to get a ringside view of the match JR”
D-Extreme folds the chair and sits down on it. He looks at NG and CS on the ring and signals NG to continue if he must. Back in the ring Nathan Green drops the kendo stick and picks up Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike although surprises NG with some punches that sends NG reeling back. Cyberstrike whips NG to the ropes. CS picks up the nTo kendo stick and cracks it over NG’s head as NG approached him.
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
JR: “Its 6-5! And wait a second. D-Extreme grabs a wooden table from the apron and props it outside the ring. Now he is putting his six pack of beer there. I think he DID come here for a ringside view. Hold on, now D-Ex gets a beer can and slides in the ring.”
CS turns around to see D-Ex with a can of beer and D-Ex gives it to Cyberstrike. They open their respective beer cans and toast. CS turns around as he drank his beer. D-Ex gets out of the ring while drinking his and he sits down on the chair outside that he propped up along with the table. In the ring, the TABLES have turned as NG was already up while CS was drinking the beer. NG kicks CS hard to the gut and goes for a powerbomb. NG hoists CS up in the air with his arms and powerbombs CS out of the ring and sends him crashing to the table that D-Ex was drinking beer. D-Ex gets out of the way and gets his shirt spilled with some beer.
JR: “BAH GAWD! NG JUST POWERBOMBED CS RIGHT OUTSIDE AND CS JUST CRASH LANDED ONTO THE TABLE!!!”
TH: “5 Points awarded for Nathan Green! The winner of this match as a result of the special stipulation…NATHAN GREEN!!!”
RK: “WHOA! He did it! The kid actually DID it!”
JR: “Indeed he is and right now he will advance to the X Tournament. NG sure looks happy but outside the ring, CS is down and D-Ex, Cyberstrike’s best friend doesn’t seem to happy.”
RK: “What do you expect JR? D-Ex spilled some beer on his shirt thanks to Cyberstrike. Even I would be mad.”
D-Extreme grabs the spare nTo kendo stick that was on the steel steps. He drops it for a while as he helps CS get up. CS thanks D-Ex for helping him out but D-Ex takes him by surprise as D-Ex grabs the nTo kendo stick and smacks it over CS’s head. D-Ex heads to the backstage while his friend is laid out at the outside of the ring after receiving a kendostick shot to the head by his friend, D-Extreme. X-WCW Nitro goes to the commercial break.
Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match
Bombshell vs D-Extreme
Four poles, joined by steel chains, are attached to the turnposts. A number of weapons – including a chair, a chain, a 2x4, an old TV, an old radio, a cookie sheet, a baseball bat, and even a STOP sign – are scattered on the floor outside the ring.
JR: “We’ve got two matches to go in the first round of the Xtreme Championship Tournament, King, and this is one of them!”
RK: “I don’t think any of these weapons will be intact once the match is over, JR!”
JR: “That’s true: competitors in our company don’t get much bigger or stronger than Bombshell and D-Extreme!”
RK: “And Bombshell’s got another match tonight: he’s defending his US Title against the one and only Eamon X, so he’d better not waste too much energy here!”
Terri Hotbody enters the ring, then "Rollin’" hits, and Bombshell appears on the stage to a loud cheer.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is a Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match. It is scheduled for one fall with no disqualifications or countouts, and the winner will advance to the next round of the Xtreme Championship Tournament. Introducing first: from Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, he is The Mad Bomber – BOMBSHELL!”
Bombshell runs to the ring and enters it. He poses for the crowd, who continue to cheer for him, then the arena darkens, and “Yeah…. it’s comin’ down!” pipes through the speakers. Wire-guided fireworks are launched toward the stage, exploding on impact, then "X Gon' Give It To Ya" is heard, and the arena lights up to reveal D-Extreme on the stage. The crowd goes wild.
TH: “And his opponent: from parts unknown – D-EXTREME!”
D-Extreme runs down to the ring, entering it upon arrival. Terri leaves the ring, and a referee enters it.
JR: “We shouldn’t expect too much finesse in this match, King. This is going to be a good, hard, old-fashioned fight. Just the way we like it here on Nitro!”
RK: “That’s right, JR! Here’s the bell!”
The bell rings, and both combatants tie up in the centre of the ring. Despite being two inches shorter, Bombshell uses his 28-pound advantage to overpower D-Ex, shoving D-Ex right into the ring ropes. On the rebound, Bombshell catches D-Ex and lifts him into a Front Backbreaker. Bombshell quickly goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. NO! D-Ex got his shoulder up!”
JR: “Bombshell wants to get this over with quickly! He wants to have as much energy left in him as possible when he faces Eamon X later tonight!”
RK: “Who can blame him? As we’ve seen recently, Eamon X is right on his game, and he wants all the gold he can get!”
JR: “Meanwhile, both men are up in the ring!”
Bombshell attempts to whip D-Ex into the ropes, but D-Ex reverses it into a whip of his own, catching Bombshell with a Side Backbreaker on the rebound. D-Ex goes for the pinfall.
JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “What’s D-Extreme’s hurry?”
JR: “I don’t think he wants to be in this match either! Both men are firm crowd favourites here in X-WCW, and they have tremendous respect for other as well!”
RK: “Not that Cyberstrike cares about that! He just wants them to beat the crap out of each other!”
JR: “You DO want to keep working here, don’t you, King?”
RK: “Uh…. yeah. Forget I said that!”
Both men are now back on their feet. D-Ex shoves Bombshell into the ropes, then he charges at him, but Bombshell hits a Back Body Drop on D-Ex, sending him flying out of the ring to the floor. Bombshell then mounts the ropes, being careful not to hit the chain above them, and launches into a Flying Elbow, hitting D-Ex right on his chest. The referee joins them, and Bombshell goes for another pinfall.
RK: “1…. NO!”
JR: “In many cases, that would finish a match!”
Bombshell gets up, then grabs the 2x4 from the floor. As he does this, D-Ex gets up and finds the baseball bat on the other side of the ring. As soon as he picks it up, he sees Bombshell charging at him with the 2x4. Bombshell swings it at D-Ex several times, but D-Ex ducks it each time. D-Ex sticks his bat right into Bombshell’s midsection, causing Bombshell to drop his 2x4 and double over in pain. D-Ex then hits him several more times with the bat, leaving Bombshell lying face down on the floor. D-Ex stands over Bombshell, then he sticks the bat under Bombshell’s neck, pulling him up and choking him for about ten seconds before releasing him.
JR: “Good God Almighty! Bombshell can’t take much more of this!”
RK: “But he’s still getting up!”
Bombshell struggles to get to his feet, and once he does, D-Ex runs at him, but Bombshell ducks D-Ex’s clothesline attempt, tripping D-Ex up and sending him headfirst into the safety barrier.
RK: “Yikes! No matter how big you are, that’s gotta hurt!”
JR: “Don’t count him out just yet, King!”
Bombshell grabs his 2x4 again, and breaks it in half over D-Ex’s bleeding head. Bombshell grabs the nearby STOP sign, then he places it over the semi-conscious D-Ex’s upper body. Bombshell takes a few steps back, then runs at D-Ex, nailing a Running Boot to the Face on him. The impact causes the STOP sign to buckle, and a “HOLY SHIT!” chant breaks out as a result. With a shout of “Do you want some more?!”, Bombshell whips the crowd into an even greater frenzy than before, and charges at D-Ex once more. However, D-Ex manages to push the STOP sign into the running Bombshell, taking him down. D-Ex manages to get up, slowly but surely, and he walks around the ring to find the steel chair. He picks it up, then he heads back to Bombshell’s location, nailing him several times with the chair. He goes for the pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “That was a 2.99 count in my book, JR!”
JR: “He just barely escaped that pinning predicament!”
RK: “And these guys will be lucky to escape with their lives at this rate!”
D-Ex brings Bombshell to his feet and attempts to whip him into the steel steps at the corner of the ring, but Bombshell reverses it, sending D-Ex into the steps. While D-Ex is down, Bombshell finds the steel chain, then he gets behind D-Ex and wraps the chain around D-Ex’s throat. Bombshell keeps it wrapped for about twenty seconds before releasing the chain, then he walks to the far side of the ring and grabs both the old radio and the cookie sheet. He walks back to D-Ex’s position only to find that D-Ex is up. Both men slowly walk toward one another, and after a brief pause, Bombshell takes an almighty swing at D-Ex with the cookie sheet in his right hand. D-Ex catches it with his own right hand, and at the very same time, D-Ex nails Bombshell with a stiff left Haymaker and Bombshell nails D-Ex with the old radio in his own left hand. Both men go down instantly.
JR: “Oh my God! They’re both down! There can’t be a draw in this!”
RK: “And look at this referee! What’s he gonna do?”
After about fifteen seconds, the referee begins a standing 10-count.
RK: “He can’t do this! There aren’t supposed to be any countouts or DQs in this match!”
JR: “Well, King, he has to do something! And frankly, I think this ref has had enough of this carnage!”
A few seconds later, CYBERSTRIKE comes out to the ring wearing a referee’s uniform, and holding a microphone.
RK: “WHAT THE? What’s Cyberstrike doing in that uniform?”
JR: “This is getting crazier by the minute!”
While both combatants are still down, Cyberstrike nails the match referee with his microphone. He drops the microphone, then grabs the steel chair and the old TV set, placing them in the ring.
JR: “I know he’s our boss, but I can’t believe that he’s going to end the match like this, King.”
RK: “You DO want to keep working here, don’t you, JR?”
JR: “Very funny.”
RK: “And the match isn’t over yet!”
Cyberstrike brings D-Ex to his feet, then he shoves D-Ex through the ropes into the ring. He picks up D-Ex and whips him into the ropes, and on the rebound, Cyberstrike knees D-Ex in the groin and hits The Breakdown on him, right on the steel chair. Cyberstrike then picks up the old TV and waits for D-Ex to rise. As soon as D-Ex gets to his hands and knees, Cyberstrike drops the TV right on his back, sending D-Ex right back down to the mat.
JR: “I don’t believe this! Don’t tell me our boss is on another power trip!”
RK: “He’s completely snapped! And Bombshell’s getting up!”
Bombshell gets up, then he enters the ring and pins D-Ex, with Cyberstrike making the count.
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! Bombshell WINS!”
The bell rings to end the match, and Terri enters the ring for the announcement.
JR: “I’m in a state of shock, King. Why the hell did our boss have to ruin what could’ve been a great match?”
RK: "Thats what he gets for disrupting CS's earlier match!"
TH: “Here’s your winner – BOMBSHELL!”
Bombshell gets up and leaves the ring, heading backstage. Terri leaves, and Cyberstrike grabs his microphone.
CS: “In answer to your question, JR – that’s right: I HEARD YOU – I DID NOT ruin this match. That petty excuse for a referee ruined it with his standing 10-count. And when he wakes up, feel free to tell him that his ass is FIRED!”
Cyberstrike looks down at the fallen D-Ex.
CS: “As for YOU, D-Extreme, you crossed that line at Ground Zero. Infact you crossed the line YET AGAIN tonight when you eliminated me from this tourney. You seemed to forget who owns this company, and who made it what it is today. And you cost me the title that, by right, is MINE! So what better way to repay you than to eliminate you from your namesake tournament, huh? How does it feel to get screwed tonight? I hope its just as painful as what I was feeling a few moments earlier.”
Cyberstrike kicks D-Ex, then he leaves the ring. Before long, EMTs see to the welfare of D-Extreme.
JR: “D-Extreme appears to be seriously hurt, King.”
RK: “In more ways than one, JR. He wanted to win this tournament, and now it’s been taken from him in one fell swoop.”
JR: “So that leaves one final spot in the second round to be filled, and Cyberstrike will have to go through Nathan Green to get it!”
RK: “After that display, I’m putting my money on Nathan Green on general principle!”
JR: “Me too, King. No one in this business should have to suffer such humiliation.”
RK: “There’s plenty more to come! Stay tuned!”
X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Eamon X vs Bombshell ©
RK: “Well, JR, it’s time for Bombshell’s second appearance of the night! And his U.S. Title is on the line against a very fresh – and very hungry – Eamon X!”
JR: “Hungry for gold, I’d say!”
RK: “And then some! You should’ve seen him at Pizza Hut the other night!”
JR: “Point taken!”
The arena darkens, and “Break & Enter” plays. After the massive pyro explosion, the arena lights up, and Eamon X appears on the stage to a deafening ovation. Terri enters the ring for the introductions.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first: the challenger, from Sydney, Australia, he is The Australian Badass – EAMON X!”
EX enters the ring, raising his right fist after doing so. The crowd continues to cheer, then “Rollin’” hits, and Bombshell – still a little sore from his earlier match – comes out to a respectful ovation.
TH: “His opponent: he is the reigning X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion – BOMBSHELL!”
Bombshell enters the ring, and the referee takes the title belt and holds it up for a moment before putting it down. Terri leaves the ring, and the bell rings to start the match.
JR: “If I know these guys as well as I think I do, this match will be one for the ages!”
RK: “It could go either way, JR!”
Bombshell and EX tie up, with neither combatant getting an advantage over the other. So EX whips Bombshell into the ropes. Bombshell attempts to clothesline EX on the rebound, but EX ducks it. On the next rebound, Bombshell attempts a Shoulder Tackle, but EX sidesteps it, causing Bombshell to fall face first onto the mat. Bombshell turns on his back to see EX coming down on him with a Leg Drop, and EX goes for the pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Bombshell’s got something left in the tank!”
JR: “He’ll need every last ounce of energy to withstand Eamon X’s onslaught!”
RK: “And not many people have done that so far!”
Both men get up, and EX goes for another whip, but Bombshell reverses it, and Bombshell goes for a Boot to the Face on the rebound. EX catches it, but Bombshell turns it into an Enziguri, taking EX down. Bombshell then picks EX up and shoves him into a corner, following it up with a quick succession of knee lifts and elbow smashes. Bombshell then goes for a Splash in the corner, but EX counters it with a Boot to the Face, knocking Bombshell down. EX then steps over Bombshell and locks in a Stump Puller, but Bombshell is too close to the ropes, so the hold is broken.
RK: “Yeesh! That Stump Puller looked pretty painful! Just imagine if they were in the centre of the ring!”
JR: “Good point, King! Eamon X can beat his opponents in SO many ways!”
EX picks up Bombshell and hits a DDT on him, but Bombshell shakes it off. Bombshell gets up and knees EX in the midsection, and then he puts EX in a Pump Handle hold. He attempts a Pump Handle Slam, but EX escapes it, landing behind Bombshell and giving him not one, not two, but THREE consecutive German Suplexes. EX goes for another pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. he kicks out!”
JR: “Bombshell is double tough! Eamon X will need to be at his very best to win this one!”
EX stands up and waits for Bombshell to get back to his feet. He is ready to deliver a devastating Spear to Bombshell, and a “Let’s Go Eamon X!” chant breaks out.
RK: “This is it! He’s ready to strike!”
JR: “Eamon X is like a shark that smells blood!”
As Bombshell gets to his feet, EX charges at him, but Bombshell sidesteps the Spear attempt at the last moment, causing EX to slam his right shoulder into a turnpost. EX stumbles back into the ring, clutching his right shoulder, and Bombshell takes advantage of the situation, taking EX down and locking an Armbar on his right arm.
JR: “OUCH! Could you imagine the pain Eamon X must be in now?”
RK: “I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say ‘OW!’ in all the time I’ve known him, JR!”
Bombshell keeps the Armbar on EX for another thirty seconds, then EX begins to edge toward the nearest ring ropes. After a short time, he puts his right foot on the rope, causing Bombshell to break the hold. Unfazed by this, Bombshell, picks EX up and whips him into the ropes again. On the rebound, EX tries to clothesline Bombshell, but Bombshell ducks it. While EX rebounds off the ropes on the other side, Bombshell turns around and raises his right hand for a Chokeslam. He slaps his right hand on the throat of EX upon his return.
RK: “Oh my God! It’s Chokeslam time!”
JR: “It would appear so!”
EX has other ideas. Although Bombshell still has his hand on EX’s throat, EX manages to get closer to Bombshell, kneeing him to the groin. This causes Bombshell to release the chokehold, then EX hits a T-Bone Suplex on him.
JR: “What a great reversal, King!”
RK: “There’s no one better at reversals in this business than Eamon X!”
EX picks Bombshell up off the mat, then he pushes Bombshell into a corner of the ring, unleashing a Big Punch Combination on him. EX then whips Bombshell into the ropes on the other side, and on the rebound, EX catches Bombshell with a stiff X-Blast.
JR: “This could be it! We could have a new U.S. Champion!”
RK: “Possibly, but would Eamon X insist on being called the Australian Champion?”
JR: “I think he’d have a little more respect for the title than some people who’ve held it of late.”
RK: “Like Daedelus! Ha!”
EX goes for another pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. HE’S KICKED OUT!”
RK: “It doesn’t seem to worry Eamon X, though!”
JR: “That’s true. These two men have tremendous mutual respect for each other, and they’re putting on one hell of a match here!”
RK: “Agreed! And they’re still going at it!”
EX bounces off the ropes and charges at Bombshell once more, but Bombshell Powerslams EX. Bombshell follows it up with a trio of Elbow Drops, followed by a pinfall attempt.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Eamon X kicks out!”
Bombshell gets EX back to his feet before delivering a hard Shortarm Clothesline to EX, knocking him down. Bombshell signals for a Powerbomb.
JR: “This is it! Bombshell wants to finish the job!”
RK: “Can Eamon X get out of this one?”
Bombshell puts EX into the headscissor position, then lifts him into the Powerbomb predicament. However, upon reaching the vertical position, EX clasps his hands together and delivers a stiff Axe Handle Smash to the back of Bombshell’s head. The blow stuns Bombshell, and he falls on his back. EX lands on his feet, then he turns Bombshell on his stomach, locking him tightly in The Lockdown. With no means of breaking the hold, Bombshell taps out, and the bell rings to end the match.
RK: “He did it! Eamon X DID IT!”
JR: “We have a NEW U.S. Heavyweight Champion!”
Terri enters the ring and makes the announcement.
TH: “Here’s your winner – and the NEW X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion – EAMON X!”
The crowd cheers wildly, with an “Eamon X!” chant breaking out soon afterwards. Bombshell gets up, and walks over to EX. They shake hands and embrace.
JR: “And who said there was no sportsmanship in sports entertainment these days?”
RK: “That match we just saw is what X-WCW is all about, Ladies and Gentlemen!”
The referee grabs the U.S. Title belt and presents it to the victorious EX. He holds it up, and the crowd goes wild.
RK: “The match also confirms what we’ve suspected all along: Eamon X is determined to go all the way in this company!”
JR: “He’s going to make some more people famous along the way too! Now don’t go away: we have more matches to come right here on Nitro!”
JR: "Welcome back to and now we go to the back with where Cole Ryan is standing with the new X-WCW US Heavyweight Champion. Go Cole!"
RK: "This going to be good!
CR: "Congratulations Eamon X! You've just defeated Bombshell and became U.S. Heavyweight Champion how do you feel?"
EX: "Cole how do I feel? How do I feel? I feel ****ing
GREAT! I'm new X-WCW United States Heavyweight Champion and I beat Bombshell a great champion in
his own right. But now with belt I'm going to set my sights on Bloodbath 2 and add the Xtreme Championship and the The Ultimate X-WCW World Champion to my collection and when all these great fans adding their chants I know that I can't lose!"
CR: "But you do know their a lot of guys gunning for
Wolfang like Jeff Jarrett!"
EX: "Jeff Jarrett that guy I threw him out of the battle
royal at Ground Zero II last night and his feet touched
the ground first he knows it, I know it and the fans know it too..."
Suddenly Jarrett from out of nowhere spins Eamon X around and smashes a guitar over his head!
Jarrett begins yelling at him.
JJ: "You think your the number one contender well listen up slapnuts I'm the Chosen One and the number one contender too!"
Jarrett picks up the big man and with an Irish-Whip he throws Eamon X into a nearby ladder! Eamon staggers back from the ladder and crashes to the floor
Jarrett then begins to the boots to him!
Finally X-WCW security guards come in and pull Jarrett
away as X-WCW Nitro #5 goes to commerical break.
Jeff Jarrett vs Cane Deathscream
JR: “This next match – Jeff Jarrett vs Cane Deathscream – should be interesting, King.”
RK: “It had its roots in the Battle Royal at Ground Zero, if I’m not mistaken, and on paper, it looks like a complete mismatch!”
JR: “Still, despite Cane Deathscream’s enormous power, the veteran Jeff Jarrett should never be underestimated!”
RK: “Too true, JR! This is gonna be fun!”
Terri enters the ring, then “My World” hits, and Jeff Jarrett comes out to the stage with his trademark “Slapnuts” guitar in hand.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Hendersonville, Tennessee, he is The Chosen One – JEFF JARRETT!”
Jarrett is cheered as he enters the ring, and he leaves his guitar on the outside.
JR: “Now remember, folks: there ARE disqualifications and countouts in this match, so Jarrett can’t use that guitar!”
RK: “True, but will someone like Cane Deathscream care about that? I don’t think so!”
The arena darkens, and “Deadly Game” hits. With a pyro explosion, the arena lights up, and Cane Deathscream strides with purpose to the ring.
TH: “And his opponent: from Hell, he is The Big Blue Machine – CANE DEATHSCREAM!”
Cane is greeted with a “Deathscream SUCKS!” chant as he enters the ring.
JR: “Oh boy. They REALLY hate him here!”
RK: “It could’ve been worse: he could’ve been the No.1 contender after the Battle Royal!”
JR: “Of course, Eamon X put an end to that!”
RK: “And just in case you’re wondering, we ARE having a contest to see how many Eamon X references we can fit into the show! Ha ha!”
JR: “Stop it.”
RK: “OK, we’re ready to go!”
The bell rings, and Jarrett and Cane tie up to start the match. In an awesome show of strength, Cane turns the tieup into a Military Press predicament, benchpressing Jarrett over his head and dropping Jarrett into a nasty-looking Backbreaker. Cane goes for a quick pin, with the referee making the count.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO! Jarrett kicks out just before the 3.”
RK: “That’s experience for you, JR!”
Jarrett and Cane get up, then Cane whips Jarrett into the ropes. On the rebound, Cane attempts a Clothesline, but Jarrett ducks it as he runs. On the next rebound, Jarrett executes a Spinning Heel Kick which, surprisingly, takes Cane down. He goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “Cane’s not going down THAT easily!”
RK: “And I was surprised to see that move from Jarrett!”
JR: “Me too, King. Jeff Jarrett is more famous for his mat technique than for fancy high-flying moves!”
Both men get up, and Jarrett runs to the ropes. He bounces off and attempts a Cross Body Block on Cane, but Cane catches him and hits a Fallaway Slam on him. Cane gets to his feet and stomps on Jarrett several times before nailing a thunderous Elbow Drop on Jarrett. He attempts another pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. and Jarrett kicks out!”
RK: “How much more can Jarrett take from this big blue monster?”
JR: “Remember, King: Jarrett’s been in a lot of situations like this one, and he’s come right back to win the match in many cases!”
RK: “I doubt he was facing big men like Cane Deathscream in those matches, though!”
JR: “Fair call.”
RK: “Meanwhile, both men are up!”
Jarrett and Cane tie up again, and this time, Cane picks Jarrett up by the throat and hits a Baldo Bomb on him. He attempts yet another pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. and a half!”
JR: “Jarrett had to reach deep down to kick out of that!”
Cane brings Jarrett to his feet and locks him in a Vertical Suplex position. Cane begins to execute the move, but Jarrett breaks out of it, landing on his feet behind Cane. Jarrett turns around quickly and hits a Hangman’s Neckbreaker on Cane, which unexpectedly brings Cane down. Jarrett goes for the pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “There’s still a lot of energy left in Cane!”
Jarrett and Cane rise to their feet, and Jarrett tries to whip Cane into the corner, but Cane reverses it, sending Jarrett hurtling into the corner. Cane walks to the opposite corner, and Jarrett turns around to see Cane charging at him for an Elbow Smash. Jarrett ducks to the side at the last moment, causing Cane to run right into the turnbuckle, and while Cane is smarting from this, Jarrett hits a Drop Toehold on Cane, then he locks Cane in a Figure Four Leglock.
JR: “MY GOD! What an upset this would be if Cane taps out!”
RK: “With the emphasis on ‘if’!”
Though Cane does not scream in pain, Jarrett keeps the hold on him for about thirty seconds. However, Cane manages to turn over, effectively reversing the hold and causing Jarrett to release it. Both men get up, and Jarrett bounces off the ropes and hits Cane with a Flying Back Elbow, taking him down for a few seconds. As soon as Cane rises again, Jarrett bounces off the ropes again and nails a Lou Thesz Press on Cane, following it up with punches. The crowd counts them – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and Jarrett rises again, delivering a stiff Elbow Drop to Cane’s chest. He tries one more pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2….. and Cane throws Jarrett off him!”
JR: “What amazing strength!”
Cane gets up and walks to the edge of the ring, reaching for Jarrett’s guitar. He grabs it, and the referee moves to take the guitar from Cane, but Cane pulls it back as if to hit the referee. Now scared, the referee backs off, and as soon as Jarrett gets up, Cane smashes the guitar right on top of Jarrett’s head, knocking him to the ground senseless. The referee calls for the bell, disqualifying Cane.
JR: “What a gyp!”
RK: “That was a great match right up until the end! We, and the fans at home, deserve better than this!”
Terri announces the result to the stunned audience.
TH: “Here’s your winner, as a result of a disqualification – JEFF JARRETT!”
While the fans cheer for the fallen Jarrett, Cane grabs the referee by the throat and Chokeslams him.
JR: “GOOD GOD IN HEAVEN! CANE DEATHSCREAM HAS SNAPPED!”
RK: “I don’t know about you, JR, but I’ve a good mind to get the hell out of here before he turns on US!”
Two more officials run to the ring in an attempt to calm Cane down, but they are met with a Double Deathstrike for their trouble. Cane picks up the first of the two officials and hits a Deathknell on him, then he picks up the second official, delivering a Raising Cane Powerbomb to him. He backflips out of the ring, landing on his feet, then he grabs Terri by the arm and takes her microphone.
JR: “OH NO! Don’t you DARE hurt Terri, you goddamned son of a bitch!”
RK: “He’ll hurt US if we’re not careful!”
Cane brushes Terri aside, then he re-enters the ring and addresses the still-unconscious Jarrett.
CD: “I SHOULD BE THE NO.1 CONTENDER, NOT YOU! AND CERTAINLY NOT THAT LITTLE PUNK EAMON X, WHO I’LL DEAL WITH LATER!”
Cane throws the microphone down with a loud thud, then he leaves the ring again.
JR: “Well, King, I’m speechless.”
RK: “And Cane’s heading for the back, so the other guys had better look out! Especially Eamon X!”
JR: “Just out of curiosity: how many Eamon X references have been made now?”
RK: “I don’t know, JR: I’ve lost count!”
Madison Square Garden goes dark, with a crimson strobe light flashing on the stage. The speakers come to life with lyrics from Flaw's "Only The Strong Survive".
It's time...time...time...time...step on up!
The screen flashes a trademark red dragon briefly, and goes blank. As the lights come back on, MSG is deafened with cheers.
RK: "I wonder when Wreck-Tron will make his return?"
JR: "That I do not know but I do know that Cole Ryan is standing by with
Jeff Jarrett. Go Cole!"
CR: "I'm standing here with the Chosen One Jeff Jarrett. Tonight was a big night when you faced and defeated the monster Cane Deathscream"
JJ: "Cole why don't you shut up and listen up for a minute I came to the X-WCW for reason and one reason only and that is to be the Ultimate X-WCW World Champion! Last night at Ground Zero II I threw out Eamon X out the ring his feet touched the floor first and now next week at Warzone..."
Eamon X suddenlly hits Jarrett in the back of the head with a steel chair and yells
EX: "Next week Jarrett in our Xtreme Tournament match it will be a ladder/Guitar match!"
Eamon X hits Jarrett in the back as he tries to get up.
X-WCW TV Championship
Hell’s Chamber Match
Vanish vs Flash Stryker ©
The specially designed Hell’s Chamber cage – with a roof as well as four walls – hangs high above the ring. "Paint it Black" hits, and Vanish makes his way to the ring. Terri enters the ring with her trusty microphone.
TH: “The following is a Hell’s Chamber Match! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW TV Championship! Introducing the challenger: from Austin, Texas, he represents the Fragile Minds – VANISH!”
Vanish is booed loudly as he enters the ring.
RK: “These fans hate Vanish with a passion, JR!”
JR: “And deservedly so, I might add. Let’s hope Thornn and Absinthe don’t show up to ruin this match!”
A few seconds later, "Speed Demon" hits the speakers, and Flash Stryker appears on the stage to loud applause. He points at the ring, and starts running toward it.
TH: “And his opponent: from Winnepeg, Alberta, Canada, he is the reigning X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
The fans keep cheering as Flash Stryker enters the ring. Terri makes her exit while a referee enters, and the cage is slowly lowered onto the ring. Meanwhile, a member of the ring crew passes a memo to JR.
JR: “I’ve just received a memo from our ‘esteemed’ employer, Cyberstrike!”
RK: “What does it say?”
JR: “It’s got all the stipulations for the match:
1. Pinfalls, submissions, DQs and countouts DO apply;
2. The cage is the only weapon, and;
3. Exiting the cage does NOT mean victory.”
RK: “That Cyberstrike really likes to shake things up, doesn’t he?”
JR: “As we’ve already seen tonight!”
RK: “Anyhow, we’re ready to go!”
The cage finally lowers into place, then the bell rings to start the match. Vanish and Stryker stalk each other around the ring for a few moments before the collar and elbow tieup occurs. Neither one is able to overpower the other, so a tense wrestle ensues for about ten seconds. After this, Vanish whips Stryker into the ropes – and the cage wall – and attempts a Cross Body Block, which Stryker ducks at the last second. Vanish collides with the cage wall and falls to the mat, with Stryker going for the pinfall attempt.
JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “It’s WAY too early to win this one!”
Stryker brings Vanish to his feet and pushes him into the corner. Stryker then delivers three consecutive Running Butt Bumps to Vanish, but his fourth never finds its mark: Vanish crouches down into a Spear position, hitting Stryker’s lower back and sending him to the mat. He turns Stryker over and goes for a pin.
JR: “1…. and he kicks out!”
RK: “What are these guys thinking? Have they got dates later tonight or something?”
JR: “Normally, I’d say ‘Stop it!’ after an inane comment like that, but you’re right this time, King. You can’t rush a match like this!”
RK: “Besides, we actually CARE about what our fans want, unlike a certain other wrestling company -cough-WWE-cough- !”
Both men are now up. They tie up again, and wrestle their way into another corner. Stryker grabs Vanish by the back of the head and slams it into the turnbuckle ten times. The crowd counts them – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and Stryker picks Vanish up over his head, slamming him into one of the cage walls. Stryker then stands over the fallen Vanish, and after a brief pause, he locks Vanish in an Inverted STF (Stepover Toehold Facelock). A chant of “Stryker!” breaks out as a result.
JR: “These fans are right behind Flash Stryker here! Listen to this chant!”
RK: “You’re telling me! But they’re too close to the ropes!”
After keeping the hold on for the best part of a minute, Stryker has to break it, since Vanish has reached the bottom rope. As soon as he does, Stryker gets Vanish to his feet again, and whips him to the other side of the ring. As Vanish rebounds, Stryker prepares for a DDT, but Vanish counters with a Dropkick, sending Stryker to the mat. Vanish then nails a Running Leg Drop on Stryker, attempting a pin a few seconds later.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO! Stryker kicks out!”
JR: “Stryker’s been very impressive of late, and this match is no exception!”
Vanish grabs Stryker by the head, bringing him to his feet and hurling him into a cage wall. He presses Stryker’s face right into the mesh, dragging him along the cage wall. Stryker fights back, elbowing Vanish in the ribs a few times, but Vanish locks both of Stryker’s arms and hits The Vanishing Point on Stryker with a bridging pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Stryker was lucky to break out of that!”
Stryker gets up, and he picks up Vanish for a Samoan Drop. He carries Vanish to a cage wall, slamming him into it, then he turns around and completes the Samoan Drop. Stryker goes for another quick pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Come on, guys! Use the cage the way it SHOULD be used!”
Vanish and Stryker get up, and Stryker starts to climb the inside of the cage. He gets about halfway up, then Vanish gets underneath Stryker, grabbing him by the armpits and hitting a Crucifix Powerbomb on Stryker. Stryker lands hard on the mat, and Vanish goes for the pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. AND THREE QUARTERS!”
RK: “They must’ve heard me, JR, because that’s more like it!”
Although Stryker kicks out, he is still smarting on the mat. Vanish therefore seizes an opportunity to capitalise on the situation: he mounts a turnbuckle, walks along the ropes, and pulls off a THUNDEROUS 450 Splash on Stryker. Another pin attempt ensues.
RK: “1…. 2…. OH MY GOD! He kicked out again!”
JR: “Such is the resilience of Flash Stryker, King!”
Stryker slowly gets to his feet, only to be whipped into the ropes by Vanish. On the rebound, he ducks a clothesline attempt by Vanish, then he turns around and grabs Vanish, lifting him into an Angle Slam. But instead of going for the pinfall, Stryker mounts a turnbuckle, and hits Vanish right on the groin with a Diving Headbutt. Stryker then gets up and walks to the door of the cage, opening it and leaving the cage. He shuts the door and starts to climb to the top of the cage.
RK: “What the hell’s he doing?”
JR: “If I’m not mistaken, there’s a large trapdoor on the top of the cage!”
RK: “So you think Flash Stryker will be crazy enough to try and come down on Vanish from a great height?”
JR: “Maybe, King, but Vanish is getting up!”
Vanish gets up to see Stryker climbing the cage. Stryker is about to clear the door when Vanish runs to it and kicks it open, causing Stryker to lose his footing. Stryker is hanging on to the cage wall by his hands at this point, so Vanish grabs both of Stryker’s legs, and with an almighty thrust, he pulls Stryker right down to the arena floor. He lands awkwardly, and is smarting from the heavy impact. But Vanish doesn’t seem to care: he leaves the cage and jumps on Stryker, delivering several stiff punches and stomps in the process.
JR: “Yeah, Vanish, way to go. Hit him when he’s down. Degenerate jackass!”
RK: “You’re not so courageous without your running buddies, are you?”
Vanish slams the cage door shut and starts to climb up the cage wall. He reaches the halfway point, then goes for an Elbow Drop. However, the hurting Stryker manages to roll out of the way of it, causing Vanish to land awkwardly on the arena floor next to him. Stryker then staggers to his feet and proceeds to climb the cage again. He reaches the halfway mark, and Vanish gets up once more. Vanish also starts to climb the cage in pursuit of Stryker, but Stryker reaches the top first, baiting Vanish to come to him.
JR: “GOOD LORD! They’re taking the match to new heights!”
RK: “Only in X-WCW would you see this happen!”
The referee – who has remained in the cage the whole time – can only look on as Vanish reaches the roof of the cage. The match degenerates into a fully-fledged fight as Vanish and Stryker exchange blows on the roof. Vanish throws one last punch, but Stryker catches it and takes Vanish down, causing Vanish to hit his head HARD on one of the steel poles holding the cage together. Vanish does not move, and the blow draws blood from his forehead.
RK: “Just when you thought this match couldn’t become more impactful, it does JUST THAT!”
JR: “And how much more chaotic will it get?!”
Stryker shouts “Get your ass up, boy!” to Vanish, and about ten seconds later, Vanish does just that. He is very shaky on his feet, and owing to the major impact he just suffered, he is barely able to walk straight. Stryker now stands right on top of the trapdoor, and Vanish stumbles toward him. Stryker signals for his finisher – The Drag Strip – and once Vanish gets to him, Stryker hooks both of his arms and hits that very move. Both men fall right through the trapdoor, falling fifteen feet to the mat, and both of them end up on their backs.
RK: “SWEET JESUS! In all my years in this industry, I’ve NEVER seen ANYTHING like this!”
JR: “I don’t believe it! People have DIED from impacts nowhere near as great as that!”
Both men lie motionless on the mat. The audience is in a state of extreme shock. The referee starts the mandatory 10-count. “1………… 2………… 3………… 4………… 5………… 6………… 7………… 8………… 9….” But suddenly, in a last-ditch effort, Stryker gets his right arm up, turning on his stomach and draping it over Vanish. The referee gets to his knees and makes the count.
JR: “1…. 2…. 3! Flash Stryker retains the TV Title in one of the most dramatic contests I’ve seen in years, King!”
RK: “You bet your ass it was! And both men are still barely moving!”
The bell rings, and Terri makes the announcement from ringside.
TH: “Here’s your winner – and still the X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
The cage is lifted up off the ring, and EMTs arrive to see to both men.
JR: “They gave it their all, King, and it looks like they’ve paid a hefty physical price.”
RK: “That’s too true, JR. You can’t ask for more than your best.”
JR: “And we will keep you all updated on the condition of both men.”
RK: “There’s more to come, so please stay with us!”
JR: "Randal I've just recived word that we have a camera crew in the back with D-Extreme and Cyberstrike!"
Backstage:
Security guards are holding back Cyberstrike, Jeff Jarrett, D-Extreme and Eamon X! D-Extreme is screaming at the top of his lungs!
D-Ex: "I'M SO SICK OF YOUR BULL**** YOU AND ME
ONE-ON-ONE!"
Cs: " YOU WANT TO FACE ME AGAIN? WELL YOU GOT TO EARN THAT SHOT! YOU HAVE FACE ME AND JEFF JARRERTT IN A TAG TEAM MATCH ON WARZONE AND SINCE EAMON CAN'T KEEP HIS HANDS OFF OF HIM THAT WILL BE YOUR TAG TEAM PARTNER!! IF YOU OR EAMON X WINS YOU GET ME IN A TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS MATCH AT BLOODBATH 2 AND EAMON X IS NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO TITLE AND WHEN
WE WIN JARRETT IS NUMBER ONE CONTENDER AND YOU D-EXTREME ARE FIRED!"
The camera cuts back to annoucer's table.
JR: "Wow what a match!"
RK: "I just received that the X-WCW TV title will be up
for grabs in a fatal-four way Table match as well as all of the second round matches for the X-WCW Xtreme Championship as well!
JR: "Do you know who's going to be in that match Randal?"
RK: "Yes Daedules, Otacon, Sid Justice and Styker!
For James Russell I'm Randal King and good night!"
Wolfang finds Cyberstrike's nTo Kendo stick and waits as Cyberstrike slowly gets back to his feet and he nails him right in the face with it sending Cyberstrike crashing down to the mat on his knees and Wolfang quickly nails him with with the Deathstalker and goes for the pin!
JR: "The Deathstalker and here is the pin 1...
RK: "Come on Cyberstrike kick out please!"
JR: "...2..."
RK: "I won't say a bad thing about anoyone or anything for the rest of my life!"
JR: "...3!! WOLFANG WINS!!"
RK: "NO DAMN IT! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! THIS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY!!"
TH: "THE WINNER AND FIRST-EVER ULTIMATE X-WCW WORLD CHAMPION WOLFANG!!"
As balloons and ticker tape fall from the ceiling and
Alice Cooper's "The Hurricane Years" plays referee
Mark Chambers hands Wolfang the X-WCW World
Heavyweight title and the ACW World title belt! He gets to fist feetand walks out of the Triple Cage with
both belts and some fans are cheering and others are booing!
JR: "What a battle!! These four men gave you everything they had and for Randal King I'm James
Russell we will see you next month at Bloodbath!
RK: "Damn you Wolfang!"
Wolfang stands on the entrace way holding
both belts in his hands rasied in victory as X-WCW
Ground Zero II comes to a close!
A black strecth limo pulls into the parking lot of Madsion Square Garden and out steps AWF owener
Bredan Reily.
BR: "So this is X-WCW Nitro I must say that I'm unimpressed so far."
Reily steps in MSG as the shows go on the air.
Randy Savage's "R U Ready X-WCW remix" plays as we
cut to a full crowd inside the World's Most Famous Arena. As massive pyros go off we see at the annoucer's desk James Russell and Randal King.
JR: "Hot of the heels of the biggest event in the history of professional wrestling X-WCW comes to you
live from Madison Square Garden! Where as you just
saw at the top of our program Bredan Reily the owner
of the AWF has arrived earlier today to present the
first-ever Ultimate X-WCW World Champion Wolfang
with his new title belt!"
RK: "Tonight the X-WCW TV Championship will be decided in perhaps the second most brutal match we
have Hell's Chamber!"
JR: "Well we've got the ring set up for Wolfang's presentation so lets to ring with Terri Hotbody!'
TH: "Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome the owner
of the Archive Wrestling Federation Mr. Brendan Reily!"
"I'm Back" fills MSG as Mr. Reily walks down to the ring.
He is booed as he walks to the ring with a smug look
on his face.
JR: "Mr. Reily isn't getting a very warm welcome!"
RK: "That's because he knows that X-WCW out did
the AWF in ppv buyrates and ticket sales for Ground Zero II!"
The ring is covered with a red carpet and in the center
of it is a glass case with the new Ultimate X-WCW
World Championship title belt. The belt looks like the
old World Championship Wrestling belt only a little bigger.
Reily enters the ring and Terri hands him the mic and leaves the ring.
BR: "Last night as I watched X-WCW Ground Zero II
I learned two things.
1 That Cyberstrike is a loser even in his own federation and 2 he must be desprate for ratings to have me present this this title belt! But as long as he paid me in cash for this I might as well get this unpleasant job over with!"
RK: "Are all the owners of the AWF assholes or are we
just lucky?"
JR: "No, they're assholes"
BR: "So I present to you *snicker* the first Ultimate
X-WCW World Champion WOLFANG!"
As Alice Cooper's "The Hurricane Years" hits MSG's PA system Wolfang walks out with the old X-WCW World
Heavyweight Championship title belt around his waist
and the old ACW World Championship title belt slung
over his right shoulder he gets a mixed reaction from the fans!
JR: "Wolfang is a former X-WCW US Heavyweight Champion, X-WCW Tag-team Champion, and a former
X-WCW World Heayweight Champion in addition to being a former AWF European Champion as well as being a former AWF Tag-Team Champion as well."
RK: "I think this has to be at the top of his resume."
Wolfang enter the rings and looks at his AWF nemisis
Reily.
BR: "I guess I have the honor of presenting you with
the new Ultimate X-WCW World Championship title belt!"
Reily opens the case and pulls out the title belt and just before he hands it to Wolfang he kicks Reily in the
mid-section and picks him up for the Wilderness!
RK: "WHAT THE HELL?!"
JR: "Wolfang just hit Reily with the Wilderness!"
Wolfang picks up the Ultimate X-WCW World title belt and the microphone.
Wf: "Thanks"
Wolfang takes belt and leaves for the backstage area as Nitro goes to comerical break.
X-WCW Xtreme title tournament
First Round match
Hard 10 match
Cyberstrike vs Nathan Green
TH: “The following match is for the X-WCW X-Title tournament. And it is scheduled for a hard 10 match!”
JR: “The Hard 10 match, its only one simple match King. You need to hit your opponent 10 times with any weapon and win it! Well you can get 5 points though if you put them through a table, the other items are one point each.”
RK: “Well JR I can tell you this, it WILL be a slobberknocker on this match! A Hard 10 match, a very GREAT way to make this tourney totally to be XTREME!”
“No one knows” by Green Day hits as Nathan Green enters the stage. He gets a good ovation by the fans as he makes his way to the ring.
TH: “Introducing first. NATHAN GREEN!”
Green enters the ring and goes to the top rope. He raises both arms to the crowd as they cheer on. He goes down as he awaits his opponent.
JR: “Nathan Green, 6’7 in height. A very talented wrestler to say the least Randal. He might have lost last PPV but let me tell you this, I think tonight is his night. He has a lot of potential here”
RK: “I dunno...cause if your facing a seasoned veteran in the ring like Cyberstrike I think you better give it your all. Lets just hope that Green’s talents wont be too green for him to get his ass handed to him by C-Strike”
“Immortal” By adema hits the PA System as Cyberstrike enters the stage with the nTo kendo stick. He raises it up as the crowd goes wild. He goes down the ramp as TH is about to introduce him.
TH: “And the opponent. From Indianapolis India. He is the leader of the nTo…CYBERSTRIKE!!!”
Cyberstrike slides in the ring and raises his kendo stick up in the air yet again before turning around and looks at Nathan Green. Both men go to the center of the ring and the bell rings to start off this match.
JR: “Cyberstrike looks at his kendo stick and smirks and he goes for a swing but Nathan Green just ducked that swing and tackles down Cyberstrike. Nathan Green hits a couple of rights and lefts to the face of Cyberstrike before he picks C-Strike up. He whips him to the ropes and goes for a tilt-a-whirl slam but Cyberstrike counters with a tornado DDT! Green is down as Cyberstrike gets up and grabs his Kendo stick”
Cyberstrike with a malicious grin on his face waits for Nathan Green to get up. As Green gets up and turns around, he is met by a hard smack over the head by the nTo Kendo Stick of Cyberstrike and goes down hard.
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Cyberstrike!”
RK: “Now that is one sickening smack across the head if I do say so myself. Green better avoid the next one cause Cyberstrike is approaching him and WHOA! He hits him again, this time on the back of Green.”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Cyberstrike”
Cyberstrike drops the Kendo Stick as he gets out of the ring and grabs one of the weapons that the crowd have in there. He manages to get a steel chair and slides back into the ring. Nathan Green gets up and sees Cyberstrike sliding the chair in before getting in as well. Nathan Green takes the initiative as he grabs the chair and blasts Cyberstrike across the head with it.
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green!”
JR: “Its Cyberstrike 2 and Nathan Green 1! Nathan Green picks up Cyberstrike and whips him across the ropes. He swings the chair as Cyberstrike bounces off but Cyberstrike ducks the swing and bounces on the other side. Cyberstrike hits a dropkick on the head of Nathan Green causing NG to drop the chair and stagger backwards and hang on to the ropes. Cyberstrike grabs the chair and blasts NG with it, sending Green to the outside hurt!”
RK: “AAARRGGGH! Now that should have hurt Nathan Green!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Cyberstrike!”
Cyberstrike drops the chair as he slides to the outside and grab Nathan Green. He sends Nathan to a crowd barrier and gets a cookie tray from the crowd before approaching NG. Cyberstrike swings it at Nathan Green but NG gets out of the way. Cyberstrike drops the tray as it impacted the steel of the railings and it kinda hurt his hands in some sort of way. NG runs towards C-Strike and hits a flying forearm smash that takes Cyberstrike down. Nathan Green picks up Cyberstrike and slams him head first to the steel barricade. Cyberstrike is then sent crashing into the steel steps. Cyberstrike is down as Nathan Green grabs a 2X4 from the crowd and raises it in the air before approaching Cyberstrike. Nathan Green waits for Cyberstrike to get up and he swings it at him. Cyberstrike however ducks to evade it and kicks NG to the midsection.
JR: “Cyberstrike evades plank swing and kicks Green. He delivers a few right hands on the face of Natahan Green and goes for a suplex. Nathan Green however blocks it and shoves Cyberstrike away, Green gets the 2x4 and swings it to the midsection of Cyberstrike sending CS to his knees.”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green!”
After a second, Nathan Green slams the 2x4 to the back of CS’s head.
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green!”
JR: “Right now its 3 all!!!”
Nathan Green drops the 2x4 and rolls Cyberstrike back to the ring. He grabs a trashcan from the crowd and tosses to the ring. He grabs a couple of items and sends them flying into the ring as well before sliding back in. He picks up Cyberstrike and whips him into the corner. Green gets the trashcan and runs towards CS with it to hit him with it but Cyberstrike sticks his foot out and it lets the trashcan bounce to the face of Nathan Green instead. Nathan Green falls backwards as Cyberstrike slowly gets himself up with the help of the ropes
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
RK: “Well Cyberstrike now leads by one point JR. Man that was a good move by Cyberstrike, sticking his foot like that. Not even D-Extreme would have that much IQ to pull that off”
JR: “Cyberstrike is up and grabs the garbage can. He raises it up and slams it to the back of Nathan Green. BAH GAWD WHAT A SICKENING SOUND THAT IMPACT JUST MADE KING!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
Cyberstrike grabs the garbage can and throws it to the outside. He picks up Nathan Green and whips him into the corner. Cyberstrike going to charge at him but Nathan Green hits Cyberstrike with his elbow. Cyberstrike staggers back as Nathan Green runs towards him and takes down CS with a running big boot. CS is down as Nathan Green grabs the trashcan lid.
JR: “Nathan Green has the trashcan lid and Cyberstrike is getting up. CS turns around and gets nailed by the trashcan lid held by Nathan Green!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded To Nathan Green”
RK: “The gap is narrowing JR. Nathan Green is only trailing by one point! WHOA! Make that none..their both tied! That was a hard shot to the back of Cyberstrike”
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Nathan Green”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen it is all tied up at this point. Cyberstrike 5, Nathan Green 5. WHO will be the man to advance this X trouney by winning this Hard 10 match?”
RK: “I dunno….”
JR: “It is an even bout from this point huh King. Nathan Green drops the trashcan lid and picks up Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike is whipped to the ropes and NG goes for a big boot but Cyberstrike ducks and bounces to the other side of the ropes. NG turns around and Cyberstrike goes for a crossbody. Nathan Green however catches Cyberstrike and slams him down the mat with a front slam! What an impact there, and I believe Cyberstrike’s back would be in a world of hurt after that maneuver.”
Nathan Green grabs the nTo kendo stick from the ring and goes over to Cyberstrike. He stops as he sees D-Extreme at the stage holding a six pack of beer. D-Extreme goes down the ramp with a beer in his hand and the other one holding a steel chair.
JR: “NG stopping on his tracks as he looks at the sight of D-Extreme. What is D-Ex doing here?”
RK: “By the looks of things it seems like he wants to get a ringside view of the match JR”
D-Extreme folds the chair and sits down on it. He looks at NG and CS on the ring and signals NG to continue if he must. Back in the ring Nathan Green drops the kendo stick and picks up Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike although surprises NG with some punches that sends NG reeling back. Cyberstrike whips NG to the ropes. CS picks up the nTo kendo stick and cracks it over NG’s head as NG approached him.
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
TH: “1 Point Awarded to Cyberstrike!”
JR: “Its 6-5! And wait a second. D-Extreme grabs a wooden table from the apron and props it outside the ring. Now he is putting his six pack of beer there. I think he DID come here for a ringside view. Hold on, now D-Ex gets a beer can and slides in the ring.”
CS turns around to see D-Ex with a can of beer and D-Ex gives it to Cyberstrike. They open their respective beer cans and toast. CS turns around as he drank his beer. D-Ex gets out of the ring while drinking his and he sits down on the chair outside that he propped up along with the table. In the ring, the TABLES have turned as NG was already up while CS was drinking the beer. NG kicks CS hard to the gut and goes for a powerbomb. NG hoists CS up in the air with his arms and powerbombs CS out of the ring and sends him crashing to the table that D-Ex was drinking beer. D-Ex gets out of the way and gets his shirt spilled with some beer.
JR: “BAH GAWD! NG JUST POWERBOMBED CS RIGHT OUTSIDE AND CS JUST CRASH LANDED ONTO THE TABLE!!!”
TH: “5 Points awarded for Nathan Green! The winner of this match as a result of the special stipulation…NATHAN GREEN!!!”
RK: “WHOA! He did it! The kid actually DID it!”
JR: “Indeed he is and right now he will advance to the X Tournament. NG sure looks happy but outside the ring, CS is down and D-Ex, Cyberstrike’s best friend doesn’t seem to happy.”
RK: “What do you expect JR? D-Ex spilled some beer on his shirt thanks to Cyberstrike. Even I would be mad.”
D-Extreme grabs the spare nTo kendo stick that was on the steel steps. He drops it for a while as he helps CS get up. CS thanks D-Ex for helping him out but D-Ex takes him by surprise as D-Ex grabs the nTo kendo stick and smacks it over CS’s head. D-Ex heads to the backstage while his friend is laid out at the outside of the ring after receiving a kendostick shot to the head by his friend, D-Extreme. X-WCW Nitro goes to the commercial break.
Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match
Bombshell vs D-Extreme
Four poles, joined by steel chains, are attached to the turnposts. A number of weapons – including a chair, a chain, a 2x4, an old TV, an old radio, a cookie sheet, a baseball bat, and even a STOP sign – are scattered on the floor outside the ring.
JR: “We’ve got two matches to go in the first round of the Xtreme Championship Tournament, King, and this is one of them!”
RK: “I don’t think any of these weapons will be intact once the match is over, JR!”
JR: “That’s true: competitors in our company don’t get much bigger or stronger than Bombshell and D-Extreme!”
RK: “And Bombshell’s got another match tonight: he’s defending his US Title against the one and only Eamon X, so he’d better not waste too much energy here!”
Terri Hotbody enters the ring, then "Rollin’" hits, and Bombshell appears on the stage to a loud cheer.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is a Clockwork Orange House Of Fun Match. It is scheduled for one fall with no disqualifications or countouts, and the winner will advance to the next round of the Xtreme Championship Tournament. Introducing first: from Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, he is The Mad Bomber – BOMBSHELL!”
Bombshell runs to the ring and enters it. He poses for the crowd, who continue to cheer for him, then the arena darkens, and “Yeah…. it’s comin’ down!” pipes through the speakers. Wire-guided fireworks are launched toward the stage, exploding on impact, then "X Gon' Give It To Ya" is heard, and the arena lights up to reveal D-Extreme on the stage. The crowd goes wild.
TH: “And his opponent: from parts unknown – D-EXTREME!”
D-Extreme runs down to the ring, entering it upon arrival. Terri leaves the ring, and a referee enters it.
JR: “We shouldn’t expect too much finesse in this match, King. This is going to be a good, hard, old-fashioned fight. Just the way we like it here on Nitro!”
RK: “That’s right, JR! Here’s the bell!”
The bell rings, and both combatants tie up in the centre of the ring. Despite being two inches shorter, Bombshell uses his 28-pound advantage to overpower D-Ex, shoving D-Ex right into the ring ropes. On the rebound, Bombshell catches D-Ex and lifts him into a Front Backbreaker. Bombshell quickly goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. NO! D-Ex got his shoulder up!”
JR: “Bombshell wants to get this over with quickly! He wants to have as much energy left in him as possible when he faces Eamon X later tonight!”
RK: “Who can blame him? As we’ve seen recently, Eamon X is right on his game, and he wants all the gold he can get!”
JR: “Meanwhile, both men are up in the ring!”
Bombshell attempts to whip D-Ex into the ropes, but D-Ex reverses it into a whip of his own, catching Bombshell with a Side Backbreaker on the rebound. D-Ex goes for the pinfall.
JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “What’s D-Extreme’s hurry?”
JR: “I don’t think he wants to be in this match either! Both men are firm crowd favourites here in X-WCW, and they have tremendous respect for other as well!”
RK: “Not that Cyberstrike cares about that! He just wants them to beat the crap out of each other!”
JR: “You DO want to keep working here, don’t you, King?”
RK: “Uh…. yeah. Forget I said that!”
Both men are now back on their feet. D-Ex shoves Bombshell into the ropes, then he charges at him, but Bombshell hits a Back Body Drop on D-Ex, sending him flying out of the ring to the floor. Bombshell then mounts the ropes, being careful not to hit the chain above them, and launches into a Flying Elbow, hitting D-Ex right on his chest. The referee joins them, and Bombshell goes for another pinfall.
RK: “1…. NO!”
JR: “In many cases, that would finish a match!”
Bombshell gets up, then grabs the 2x4 from the floor. As he does this, D-Ex gets up and finds the baseball bat on the other side of the ring. As soon as he picks it up, he sees Bombshell charging at him with the 2x4. Bombshell swings it at D-Ex several times, but D-Ex ducks it each time. D-Ex sticks his bat right into Bombshell’s midsection, causing Bombshell to drop his 2x4 and double over in pain. D-Ex then hits him several more times with the bat, leaving Bombshell lying face down on the floor. D-Ex stands over Bombshell, then he sticks the bat under Bombshell’s neck, pulling him up and choking him for about ten seconds before releasing him.
JR: “Good God Almighty! Bombshell can’t take much more of this!”
RK: “But he’s still getting up!”
Bombshell struggles to get to his feet, and once he does, D-Ex runs at him, but Bombshell ducks D-Ex’s clothesline attempt, tripping D-Ex up and sending him headfirst into the safety barrier.
RK: “Yikes! No matter how big you are, that’s gotta hurt!”
JR: “Don’t count him out just yet, King!”
Bombshell grabs his 2x4 again, and breaks it in half over D-Ex’s bleeding head. Bombshell grabs the nearby STOP sign, then he places it over the semi-conscious D-Ex’s upper body. Bombshell takes a few steps back, then runs at D-Ex, nailing a Running Boot to the Face on him. The impact causes the STOP sign to buckle, and a “HOLY SHIT!” chant breaks out as a result. With a shout of “Do you want some more?!”, Bombshell whips the crowd into an even greater frenzy than before, and charges at D-Ex once more. However, D-Ex manages to push the STOP sign into the running Bombshell, taking him down. D-Ex manages to get up, slowly but surely, and he walks around the ring to find the steel chair. He picks it up, then he heads back to Bombshell’s location, nailing him several times with the chair. He goes for the pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “That was a 2.99 count in my book, JR!”
JR: “He just barely escaped that pinning predicament!”
RK: “And these guys will be lucky to escape with their lives at this rate!”
D-Ex brings Bombshell to his feet and attempts to whip him into the steel steps at the corner of the ring, but Bombshell reverses it, sending D-Ex into the steps. While D-Ex is down, Bombshell finds the steel chain, then he gets behind D-Ex and wraps the chain around D-Ex’s throat. Bombshell keeps it wrapped for about twenty seconds before releasing the chain, then he walks to the far side of the ring and grabs both the old radio and the cookie sheet. He walks back to D-Ex’s position only to find that D-Ex is up. Both men slowly walk toward one another, and after a brief pause, Bombshell takes an almighty swing at D-Ex with the cookie sheet in his right hand. D-Ex catches it with his own right hand, and at the very same time, D-Ex nails Bombshell with a stiff left Haymaker and Bombshell nails D-Ex with the old radio in his own left hand. Both men go down instantly.
JR: “Oh my God! They’re both down! There can’t be a draw in this!”
RK: “And look at this referee! What’s he gonna do?”
After about fifteen seconds, the referee begins a standing 10-count.
RK: “He can’t do this! There aren’t supposed to be any countouts or DQs in this match!”
JR: “Well, King, he has to do something! And frankly, I think this ref has had enough of this carnage!”
A few seconds later, CYBERSTRIKE comes out to the ring wearing a referee’s uniform, and holding a microphone.
RK: “WHAT THE? What’s Cyberstrike doing in that uniform?”
JR: “This is getting crazier by the minute!”
While both combatants are still down, Cyberstrike nails the match referee with his microphone. He drops the microphone, then grabs the steel chair and the old TV set, placing them in the ring.
JR: “I know he’s our boss, but I can’t believe that he’s going to end the match like this, King.”
RK: “You DO want to keep working here, don’t you, JR?”
JR: “Very funny.”
RK: “And the match isn’t over yet!”
Cyberstrike brings D-Ex to his feet, then he shoves D-Ex through the ropes into the ring. He picks up D-Ex and whips him into the ropes, and on the rebound, Cyberstrike knees D-Ex in the groin and hits The Breakdown on him, right on the steel chair. Cyberstrike then picks up the old TV and waits for D-Ex to rise. As soon as D-Ex gets to his hands and knees, Cyberstrike drops the TV right on his back, sending D-Ex right back down to the mat.
JR: “I don’t believe this! Don’t tell me our boss is on another power trip!”
RK: “He’s completely snapped! And Bombshell’s getting up!”
Bombshell gets up, then he enters the ring and pins D-Ex, with Cyberstrike making the count.
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! Bombshell WINS!”
The bell rings to end the match, and Terri enters the ring for the announcement.
JR: “I’m in a state of shock, King. Why the hell did our boss have to ruin what could’ve been a great match?”
RK: "Thats what he gets for disrupting CS's earlier match!"
TH: “Here’s your winner – BOMBSHELL!”
Bombshell gets up and leaves the ring, heading backstage. Terri leaves, and Cyberstrike grabs his microphone.
CS: “In answer to your question, JR – that’s right: I HEARD YOU – I DID NOT ruin this match. That petty excuse for a referee ruined it with his standing 10-count. And when he wakes up, feel free to tell him that his ass is FIRED!”
Cyberstrike looks down at the fallen D-Ex.
CS: “As for YOU, D-Extreme, you crossed that line at Ground Zero. Infact you crossed the line YET AGAIN tonight when you eliminated me from this tourney. You seemed to forget who owns this company, and who made it what it is today. And you cost me the title that, by right, is MINE! So what better way to repay you than to eliminate you from your namesake tournament, huh? How does it feel to get screwed tonight? I hope its just as painful as what I was feeling a few moments earlier.”
Cyberstrike kicks D-Ex, then he leaves the ring. Before long, EMTs see to the welfare of D-Extreme.
JR: “D-Extreme appears to be seriously hurt, King.”
RK: “In more ways than one, JR. He wanted to win this tournament, and now it’s been taken from him in one fell swoop.”
JR: “So that leaves one final spot in the second round to be filled, and Cyberstrike will have to go through Nathan Green to get it!”
RK: “After that display, I’m putting my money on Nathan Green on general principle!”
JR: “Me too, King. No one in this business should have to suffer such humiliation.”
RK: “There’s plenty more to come! Stay tuned!”
X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Eamon X vs Bombshell ©
RK: “Well, JR, it’s time for Bombshell’s second appearance of the night! And his U.S. Title is on the line against a very fresh – and very hungry – Eamon X!”
JR: “Hungry for gold, I’d say!”
RK: “And then some! You should’ve seen him at Pizza Hut the other night!”
JR: “Point taken!”
The arena darkens, and “Break & Enter” plays. After the massive pyro explosion, the arena lights up, and Eamon X appears on the stage to a deafening ovation. Terri enters the ring for the introductions.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first: the challenger, from Sydney, Australia, he is The Australian Badass – EAMON X!”
EX enters the ring, raising his right fist after doing so. The crowd continues to cheer, then “Rollin’” hits, and Bombshell – still a little sore from his earlier match – comes out to a respectful ovation.
TH: “His opponent: he is the reigning X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion – BOMBSHELL!”
Bombshell enters the ring, and the referee takes the title belt and holds it up for a moment before putting it down. Terri leaves the ring, and the bell rings to start the match.
JR: “If I know these guys as well as I think I do, this match will be one for the ages!”
RK: “It could go either way, JR!”
Bombshell and EX tie up, with neither combatant getting an advantage over the other. So EX whips Bombshell into the ropes. Bombshell attempts to clothesline EX on the rebound, but EX ducks it. On the next rebound, Bombshell attempts a Shoulder Tackle, but EX sidesteps it, causing Bombshell to fall face first onto the mat. Bombshell turns on his back to see EX coming down on him with a Leg Drop, and EX goes for the pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Bombshell’s got something left in the tank!”
JR: “He’ll need every last ounce of energy to withstand Eamon X’s onslaught!”
RK: “And not many people have done that so far!”
Both men get up, and EX goes for another whip, but Bombshell reverses it, and Bombshell goes for a Boot to the Face on the rebound. EX catches it, but Bombshell turns it into an Enziguri, taking EX down. Bombshell then picks EX up and shoves him into a corner, following it up with a quick succession of knee lifts and elbow smashes. Bombshell then goes for a Splash in the corner, but EX counters it with a Boot to the Face, knocking Bombshell down. EX then steps over Bombshell and locks in a Stump Puller, but Bombshell is too close to the ropes, so the hold is broken.
RK: “Yeesh! That Stump Puller looked pretty painful! Just imagine if they were in the centre of the ring!”
JR: “Good point, King! Eamon X can beat his opponents in SO many ways!”
EX picks up Bombshell and hits a DDT on him, but Bombshell shakes it off. Bombshell gets up and knees EX in the midsection, and then he puts EX in a Pump Handle hold. He attempts a Pump Handle Slam, but EX escapes it, landing behind Bombshell and giving him not one, not two, but THREE consecutive German Suplexes. EX goes for another pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. he kicks out!”
JR: “Bombshell is double tough! Eamon X will need to be at his very best to win this one!”
EX stands up and waits for Bombshell to get back to his feet. He is ready to deliver a devastating Spear to Bombshell, and a “Let’s Go Eamon X!” chant breaks out.
RK: “This is it! He’s ready to strike!”
JR: “Eamon X is like a shark that smells blood!”
As Bombshell gets to his feet, EX charges at him, but Bombshell sidesteps the Spear attempt at the last moment, causing EX to slam his right shoulder into a turnpost. EX stumbles back into the ring, clutching his right shoulder, and Bombshell takes advantage of the situation, taking EX down and locking an Armbar on his right arm.
JR: “OUCH! Could you imagine the pain Eamon X must be in now?”
RK: “I don’t think I’ve ever heard him say ‘OW!’ in all the time I’ve known him, JR!”
Bombshell keeps the Armbar on EX for another thirty seconds, then EX begins to edge toward the nearest ring ropes. After a short time, he puts his right foot on the rope, causing Bombshell to break the hold. Unfazed by this, Bombshell, picks EX up and whips him into the ropes again. On the rebound, EX tries to clothesline Bombshell, but Bombshell ducks it. While EX rebounds off the ropes on the other side, Bombshell turns around and raises his right hand for a Chokeslam. He slaps his right hand on the throat of EX upon his return.
RK: “Oh my God! It’s Chokeslam time!”
JR: “It would appear so!”
EX has other ideas. Although Bombshell still has his hand on EX’s throat, EX manages to get closer to Bombshell, kneeing him to the groin. This causes Bombshell to release the chokehold, then EX hits a T-Bone Suplex on him.
JR: “What a great reversal, King!”
RK: “There’s no one better at reversals in this business than Eamon X!”
EX picks Bombshell up off the mat, then he pushes Bombshell into a corner of the ring, unleashing a Big Punch Combination on him. EX then whips Bombshell into the ropes on the other side, and on the rebound, EX catches Bombshell with a stiff X-Blast.
JR: “This could be it! We could have a new U.S. Champion!”
RK: “Possibly, but would Eamon X insist on being called the Australian Champion?”
JR: “I think he’d have a little more respect for the title than some people who’ve held it of late.”
RK: “Like Daedelus! Ha!”
EX goes for another pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. HE’S KICKED OUT!”
RK: “It doesn’t seem to worry Eamon X, though!”
JR: “That’s true. These two men have tremendous mutual respect for each other, and they’re putting on one hell of a match here!”
RK: “Agreed! And they’re still going at it!”
EX bounces off the ropes and charges at Bombshell once more, but Bombshell Powerslams EX. Bombshell follows it up with a trio of Elbow Drops, followed by a pinfall attempt.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Eamon X kicks out!”
Bombshell gets EX back to his feet before delivering a hard Shortarm Clothesline to EX, knocking him down. Bombshell signals for a Powerbomb.
JR: “This is it! Bombshell wants to finish the job!”
RK: “Can Eamon X get out of this one?”
Bombshell puts EX into the headscissor position, then lifts him into the Powerbomb predicament. However, upon reaching the vertical position, EX clasps his hands together and delivers a stiff Axe Handle Smash to the back of Bombshell’s head. The blow stuns Bombshell, and he falls on his back. EX lands on his feet, then he turns Bombshell on his stomach, locking him tightly in The Lockdown. With no means of breaking the hold, Bombshell taps out, and the bell rings to end the match.
RK: “He did it! Eamon X DID IT!”
JR: “We have a NEW U.S. Heavyweight Champion!”
Terri enters the ring and makes the announcement.
TH: “Here’s your winner – and the NEW X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion – EAMON X!”
The crowd cheers wildly, with an “Eamon X!” chant breaking out soon afterwards. Bombshell gets up, and walks over to EX. They shake hands and embrace.
JR: “And who said there was no sportsmanship in sports entertainment these days?”
RK: “That match we just saw is what X-WCW is all about, Ladies and Gentlemen!”
The referee grabs the U.S. Title belt and presents it to the victorious EX. He holds it up, and the crowd goes wild.
RK: “The match also confirms what we’ve suspected all along: Eamon X is determined to go all the way in this company!”
JR: “He’s going to make some more people famous along the way too! Now don’t go away: we have more matches to come right here on Nitro!”
JR: "Welcome back to and now we go to the back with where Cole Ryan is standing with the new X-WCW US Heavyweight Champion. Go Cole!"
RK: "This going to be good!
CR: "Congratulations Eamon X! You've just defeated Bombshell and became U.S. Heavyweight Champion how do you feel?"
EX: "Cole how do I feel? How do I feel? I feel ****ing
GREAT! I'm new X-WCW United States Heavyweight Champion and I beat Bombshell a great champion in
his own right. But now with belt I'm going to set my sights on Bloodbath 2 and add the Xtreme Championship and the The Ultimate X-WCW World Champion to my collection and when all these great fans adding their chants I know that I can't lose!"
CR: "But you do know their a lot of guys gunning for
Wolfang like Jeff Jarrett!"
EX: "Jeff Jarrett that guy I threw him out of the battle
royal at Ground Zero II last night and his feet touched
the ground first he knows it, I know it and the fans know it too..."
Suddenly Jarrett from out of nowhere spins Eamon X around and smashes a guitar over his head!
Jarrett begins yelling at him.
JJ: "You think your the number one contender well listen up slapnuts I'm the Chosen One and the number one contender too!"
Jarrett picks up the big man and with an Irish-Whip he throws Eamon X into a nearby ladder! Eamon staggers back from the ladder and crashes to the floor
Jarrett then begins to the boots to him!
Finally X-WCW security guards come in and pull Jarrett
away as X-WCW Nitro #5 goes to commerical break.
Jeff Jarrett vs Cane Deathscream
JR: “This next match – Jeff Jarrett vs Cane Deathscream – should be interesting, King.”
RK: “It had its roots in the Battle Royal at Ground Zero, if I’m not mistaken, and on paper, it looks like a complete mismatch!”
JR: “Still, despite Cane Deathscream’s enormous power, the veteran Jeff Jarrett should never be underestimated!”
RK: “Too true, JR! This is gonna be fun!”
Terri enters the ring, then “My World” hits, and Jeff Jarrett comes out to the stage with his trademark “Slapnuts” guitar in hand.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Hendersonville, Tennessee, he is The Chosen One – JEFF JARRETT!”
Jarrett is cheered as he enters the ring, and he leaves his guitar on the outside.
JR: “Now remember, folks: there ARE disqualifications and countouts in this match, so Jarrett can’t use that guitar!”
RK: “True, but will someone like Cane Deathscream care about that? I don’t think so!”
The arena darkens, and “Deadly Game” hits. With a pyro explosion, the arena lights up, and Cane Deathscream strides with purpose to the ring.
TH: “And his opponent: from Hell, he is The Big Blue Machine – CANE DEATHSCREAM!”
Cane is greeted with a “Deathscream SUCKS!” chant as he enters the ring.
JR: “Oh boy. They REALLY hate him here!”
RK: “It could’ve been worse: he could’ve been the No.1 contender after the Battle Royal!”
JR: “Of course, Eamon X put an end to that!”
RK: “And just in case you’re wondering, we ARE having a contest to see how many Eamon X references we can fit into the show! Ha ha!”
JR: “Stop it.”
RK: “OK, we’re ready to go!”
The bell rings, and Jarrett and Cane tie up to start the match. In an awesome show of strength, Cane turns the tieup into a Military Press predicament, benchpressing Jarrett over his head and dropping Jarrett into a nasty-looking Backbreaker. Cane goes for a quick pin, with the referee making the count.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO! Jarrett kicks out just before the 3.”
RK: “That’s experience for you, JR!”
Jarrett and Cane get up, then Cane whips Jarrett into the ropes. On the rebound, Cane attempts a Clothesline, but Jarrett ducks it as he runs. On the next rebound, Jarrett executes a Spinning Heel Kick which, surprisingly, takes Cane down. He goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “Cane’s not going down THAT easily!”
RK: “And I was surprised to see that move from Jarrett!”
JR: “Me too, King. Jeff Jarrett is more famous for his mat technique than for fancy high-flying moves!”
Both men get up, and Jarrett runs to the ropes. He bounces off and attempts a Cross Body Block on Cane, but Cane catches him and hits a Fallaway Slam on him. Cane gets to his feet and stomps on Jarrett several times before nailing a thunderous Elbow Drop on Jarrett. He attempts another pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. and Jarrett kicks out!”
RK: “How much more can Jarrett take from this big blue monster?”
JR: “Remember, King: Jarrett’s been in a lot of situations like this one, and he’s come right back to win the match in many cases!”
RK: “I doubt he was facing big men like Cane Deathscream in those matches, though!”
JR: “Fair call.”
RK: “Meanwhile, both men are up!”
Jarrett and Cane tie up again, and this time, Cane picks Jarrett up by the throat and hits a Baldo Bomb on him. He attempts yet another pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. and a half!”
JR: “Jarrett had to reach deep down to kick out of that!”
Cane brings Jarrett to his feet and locks him in a Vertical Suplex position. Cane begins to execute the move, but Jarrett breaks out of it, landing on his feet behind Cane. Jarrett turns around quickly and hits a Hangman’s Neckbreaker on Cane, which unexpectedly brings Cane down. Jarrett goes for the pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “There’s still a lot of energy left in Cane!”
Jarrett and Cane rise to their feet, and Jarrett tries to whip Cane into the corner, but Cane reverses it, sending Jarrett hurtling into the corner. Cane walks to the opposite corner, and Jarrett turns around to see Cane charging at him for an Elbow Smash. Jarrett ducks to the side at the last moment, causing Cane to run right into the turnbuckle, and while Cane is smarting from this, Jarrett hits a Drop Toehold on Cane, then he locks Cane in a Figure Four Leglock.
JR: “MY GOD! What an upset this would be if Cane taps out!”
RK: “With the emphasis on ‘if’!”
Though Cane does not scream in pain, Jarrett keeps the hold on him for about thirty seconds. However, Cane manages to turn over, effectively reversing the hold and causing Jarrett to release it. Both men get up, and Jarrett bounces off the ropes and hits Cane with a Flying Back Elbow, taking him down for a few seconds. As soon as Cane rises again, Jarrett bounces off the ropes again and nails a Lou Thesz Press on Cane, following it up with punches. The crowd counts them – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and Jarrett rises again, delivering a stiff Elbow Drop to Cane’s chest. He tries one more pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2….. and Cane throws Jarrett off him!”
JR: “What amazing strength!”
Cane gets up and walks to the edge of the ring, reaching for Jarrett’s guitar. He grabs it, and the referee moves to take the guitar from Cane, but Cane pulls it back as if to hit the referee. Now scared, the referee backs off, and as soon as Jarrett gets up, Cane smashes the guitar right on top of Jarrett’s head, knocking him to the ground senseless. The referee calls for the bell, disqualifying Cane.
JR: “What a gyp!”
RK: “That was a great match right up until the end! We, and the fans at home, deserve better than this!”
Terri announces the result to the stunned audience.
TH: “Here’s your winner, as a result of a disqualification – JEFF JARRETT!”
While the fans cheer for the fallen Jarrett, Cane grabs the referee by the throat and Chokeslams him.
JR: “GOOD GOD IN HEAVEN! CANE DEATHSCREAM HAS SNAPPED!”
RK: “I don’t know about you, JR, but I’ve a good mind to get the hell out of here before he turns on US!”
Two more officials run to the ring in an attempt to calm Cane down, but they are met with a Double Deathstrike for their trouble. Cane picks up the first of the two officials and hits a Deathknell on him, then he picks up the second official, delivering a Raising Cane Powerbomb to him. He backflips out of the ring, landing on his feet, then he grabs Terri by the arm and takes her microphone.
JR: “OH NO! Don’t you DARE hurt Terri, you goddamned son of a bitch!”
RK: “He’ll hurt US if we’re not careful!”
Cane brushes Terri aside, then he re-enters the ring and addresses the still-unconscious Jarrett.
CD: “I SHOULD BE THE NO.1 CONTENDER, NOT YOU! AND CERTAINLY NOT THAT LITTLE PUNK EAMON X, WHO I’LL DEAL WITH LATER!”
Cane throws the microphone down with a loud thud, then he leaves the ring again.
JR: “Well, King, I’m speechless.”
RK: “And Cane’s heading for the back, so the other guys had better look out! Especially Eamon X!”
JR: “Just out of curiosity: how many Eamon X references have been made now?”
RK: “I don’t know, JR: I’ve lost count!”
Madison Square Garden goes dark, with a crimson strobe light flashing on the stage. The speakers come to life with lyrics from Flaw's "Only The Strong Survive".
It's time...time...time...time...step on up!
The screen flashes a trademark red dragon briefly, and goes blank. As the lights come back on, MSG is deafened with cheers.
RK: "I wonder when Wreck-Tron will make his return?"
JR: "That I do not know but I do know that Cole Ryan is standing by with
Jeff Jarrett. Go Cole!"
CR: "I'm standing here with the Chosen One Jeff Jarrett. Tonight was a big night when you faced and defeated the monster Cane Deathscream"
JJ: "Cole why don't you shut up and listen up for a minute I came to the X-WCW for reason and one reason only and that is to be the Ultimate X-WCW World Champion! Last night at Ground Zero II I threw out Eamon X out the ring his feet touched the floor first and now next week at Warzone..."
Eamon X suddenlly hits Jarrett in the back of the head with a steel chair and yells
EX: "Next week Jarrett in our Xtreme Tournament match it will be a ladder/Guitar match!"
Eamon X hits Jarrett in the back as he tries to get up.
X-WCW TV Championship
Hell’s Chamber Match
Vanish vs Flash Stryker ©
The specially designed Hell’s Chamber cage – with a roof as well as four walls – hangs high above the ring. "Paint it Black" hits, and Vanish makes his way to the ring. Terri enters the ring with her trusty microphone.
TH: “The following is a Hell’s Chamber Match! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW TV Championship! Introducing the challenger: from Austin, Texas, he represents the Fragile Minds – VANISH!”
Vanish is booed loudly as he enters the ring.
RK: “These fans hate Vanish with a passion, JR!”
JR: “And deservedly so, I might add. Let’s hope Thornn and Absinthe don’t show up to ruin this match!”
A few seconds later, "Speed Demon" hits the speakers, and Flash Stryker appears on the stage to loud applause. He points at the ring, and starts running toward it.
TH: “And his opponent: from Winnepeg, Alberta, Canada, he is the reigning X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
The fans keep cheering as Flash Stryker enters the ring. Terri makes her exit while a referee enters, and the cage is slowly lowered onto the ring. Meanwhile, a member of the ring crew passes a memo to JR.
JR: “I’ve just received a memo from our ‘esteemed’ employer, Cyberstrike!”
RK: “What does it say?”
JR: “It’s got all the stipulations for the match:
1. Pinfalls, submissions, DQs and countouts DO apply;
2. The cage is the only weapon, and;
3. Exiting the cage does NOT mean victory.”
RK: “That Cyberstrike really likes to shake things up, doesn’t he?”
JR: “As we’ve already seen tonight!”
RK: “Anyhow, we’re ready to go!”
The cage finally lowers into place, then the bell rings to start the match. Vanish and Stryker stalk each other around the ring for a few moments before the collar and elbow tieup occurs. Neither one is able to overpower the other, so a tense wrestle ensues for about ten seconds. After this, Vanish whips Stryker into the ropes – and the cage wall – and attempts a Cross Body Block, which Stryker ducks at the last second. Vanish collides with the cage wall and falls to the mat, with Stryker going for the pinfall attempt.
JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “It’s WAY too early to win this one!”
Stryker brings Vanish to his feet and pushes him into the corner. Stryker then delivers three consecutive Running Butt Bumps to Vanish, but his fourth never finds its mark: Vanish crouches down into a Spear position, hitting Stryker’s lower back and sending him to the mat. He turns Stryker over and goes for a pin.
JR: “1…. and he kicks out!”
RK: “What are these guys thinking? Have they got dates later tonight or something?”
JR: “Normally, I’d say ‘Stop it!’ after an inane comment like that, but you’re right this time, King. You can’t rush a match like this!”
RK: “Besides, we actually CARE about what our fans want, unlike a certain other wrestling company -cough-WWE-cough- !”
Both men are now up. They tie up again, and wrestle their way into another corner. Stryker grabs Vanish by the back of the head and slams it into the turnbuckle ten times. The crowd counts them – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and Stryker picks Vanish up over his head, slamming him into one of the cage walls. Stryker then stands over the fallen Vanish, and after a brief pause, he locks Vanish in an Inverted STF (Stepover Toehold Facelock). A chant of “Stryker!” breaks out as a result.
JR: “These fans are right behind Flash Stryker here! Listen to this chant!”
RK: “You’re telling me! But they’re too close to the ropes!”
After keeping the hold on for the best part of a minute, Stryker has to break it, since Vanish has reached the bottom rope. As soon as he does, Stryker gets Vanish to his feet again, and whips him to the other side of the ring. As Vanish rebounds, Stryker prepares for a DDT, but Vanish counters with a Dropkick, sending Stryker to the mat. Vanish then nails a Running Leg Drop on Stryker, attempting a pin a few seconds later.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO! Stryker kicks out!”
JR: “Stryker’s been very impressive of late, and this match is no exception!”
Vanish grabs Stryker by the head, bringing him to his feet and hurling him into a cage wall. He presses Stryker’s face right into the mesh, dragging him along the cage wall. Stryker fights back, elbowing Vanish in the ribs a few times, but Vanish locks both of Stryker’s arms and hits The Vanishing Point on Stryker with a bridging pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Stryker was lucky to break out of that!”
Stryker gets up, and he picks up Vanish for a Samoan Drop. He carries Vanish to a cage wall, slamming him into it, then he turns around and completes the Samoan Drop. Stryker goes for another quick pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Come on, guys! Use the cage the way it SHOULD be used!”
Vanish and Stryker get up, and Stryker starts to climb the inside of the cage. He gets about halfway up, then Vanish gets underneath Stryker, grabbing him by the armpits and hitting a Crucifix Powerbomb on Stryker. Stryker lands hard on the mat, and Vanish goes for the pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. AND THREE QUARTERS!”
RK: “They must’ve heard me, JR, because that’s more like it!”
Although Stryker kicks out, he is still smarting on the mat. Vanish therefore seizes an opportunity to capitalise on the situation: he mounts a turnbuckle, walks along the ropes, and pulls off a THUNDEROUS 450 Splash on Stryker. Another pin attempt ensues.
RK: “1…. 2…. OH MY GOD! He kicked out again!”
JR: “Such is the resilience of Flash Stryker, King!”
Stryker slowly gets to his feet, only to be whipped into the ropes by Vanish. On the rebound, he ducks a clothesline attempt by Vanish, then he turns around and grabs Vanish, lifting him into an Angle Slam. But instead of going for the pinfall, Stryker mounts a turnbuckle, and hits Vanish right on the groin with a Diving Headbutt. Stryker then gets up and walks to the door of the cage, opening it and leaving the cage. He shuts the door and starts to climb to the top of the cage.
RK: “What the hell’s he doing?”
JR: “If I’m not mistaken, there’s a large trapdoor on the top of the cage!”
RK: “So you think Flash Stryker will be crazy enough to try and come down on Vanish from a great height?”
JR: “Maybe, King, but Vanish is getting up!”
Vanish gets up to see Stryker climbing the cage. Stryker is about to clear the door when Vanish runs to it and kicks it open, causing Stryker to lose his footing. Stryker is hanging on to the cage wall by his hands at this point, so Vanish grabs both of Stryker’s legs, and with an almighty thrust, he pulls Stryker right down to the arena floor. He lands awkwardly, and is smarting from the heavy impact. But Vanish doesn’t seem to care: he leaves the cage and jumps on Stryker, delivering several stiff punches and stomps in the process.
JR: “Yeah, Vanish, way to go. Hit him when he’s down. Degenerate jackass!”
RK: “You’re not so courageous without your running buddies, are you?”
Vanish slams the cage door shut and starts to climb up the cage wall. He reaches the halfway point, then goes for an Elbow Drop. However, the hurting Stryker manages to roll out of the way of it, causing Vanish to land awkwardly on the arena floor next to him. Stryker then staggers to his feet and proceeds to climb the cage again. He reaches the halfway mark, and Vanish gets up once more. Vanish also starts to climb the cage in pursuit of Stryker, but Stryker reaches the top first, baiting Vanish to come to him.
JR: “GOOD LORD! They’re taking the match to new heights!”
RK: “Only in X-WCW would you see this happen!”
The referee – who has remained in the cage the whole time – can only look on as Vanish reaches the roof of the cage. The match degenerates into a fully-fledged fight as Vanish and Stryker exchange blows on the roof. Vanish throws one last punch, but Stryker catches it and takes Vanish down, causing Vanish to hit his head HARD on one of the steel poles holding the cage together. Vanish does not move, and the blow draws blood from his forehead.
RK: “Just when you thought this match couldn’t become more impactful, it does JUST THAT!”
JR: “And how much more chaotic will it get?!”
Stryker shouts “Get your ass up, boy!” to Vanish, and about ten seconds later, Vanish does just that. He is very shaky on his feet, and owing to the major impact he just suffered, he is barely able to walk straight. Stryker now stands right on top of the trapdoor, and Vanish stumbles toward him. Stryker signals for his finisher – The Drag Strip – and once Vanish gets to him, Stryker hooks both of his arms and hits that very move. Both men fall right through the trapdoor, falling fifteen feet to the mat, and both of them end up on their backs.
RK: “SWEET JESUS! In all my years in this industry, I’ve NEVER seen ANYTHING like this!”
JR: “I don’t believe it! People have DIED from impacts nowhere near as great as that!”
Both men lie motionless on the mat. The audience is in a state of extreme shock. The referee starts the mandatory 10-count. “1………… 2………… 3………… 4………… 5………… 6………… 7………… 8………… 9….” But suddenly, in a last-ditch effort, Stryker gets his right arm up, turning on his stomach and draping it over Vanish. The referee gets to his knees and makes the count.
JR: “1…. 2…. 3! Flash Stryker retains the TV Title in one of the most dramatic contests I’ve seen in years, King!”
RK: “You bet your ass it was! And both men are still barely moving!”
The bell rings, and Terri makes the announcement from ringside.
TH: “Here’s your winner – and still the X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
The cage is lifted up off the ring, and EMTs arrive to see to both men.
JR: “They gave it their all, King, and it looks like they’ve paid a hefty physical price.”
RK: “That’s too true, JR. You can’t ask for more than your best.”
JR: “And we will keep you all updated on the condition of both men.”
RK: “There’s more to come, so please stay with us!”
JR: "Randal I've just recived word that we have a camera crew in the back with D-Extreme and Cyberstrike!"
Backstage:
Security guards are holding back Cyberstrike, Jeff Jarrett, D-Extreme and Eamon X! D-Extreme is screaming at the top of his lungs!
D-Ex: "I'M SO SICK OF YOUR BULL**** YOU AND ME

IF YOU OR EAMON X WINS YOU GET ME IN A TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS MATCH AT BLOODBATH 2 AND EAMON X IS NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO TITLE AND WHEN

The camera cuts back to annoucer's table.
JR: "Wow what a match!"
RK: "I just received that the X-WCW TV title will be up
for grabs in a fatal-four way Table match as well as all of the second round matches for the X-WCW Xtreme Championship as well!
JR: "Do you know who's going to be in that match Randal?"
RK: "Yes Daedules, Otacon, Sid Justice and Styker!
