The fireworks explode as Doubleshot #10 goes on air. The taped event goes over to the announce table with James Russel and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome to the tenth episode of X-WCW Doubleshot! This is the show to watch right now for you X-WCW fans. Tonight, we will see 3 action-packed matches!”
RK: “I cant wait to see the matches tonight, JR! Infact, this is gonna be a preview for our European fans of what to expect on Royal Bash 2.”
JR: “You said it Randal! The first match will be a buried alive match between the TV Champ, Tempest and Reaper. These guys are both powerhouses here in the X-WCW. We will see who will prevail and bury their opponent six feet under.”
RK: “I believe Tempest can finish off Reaper tonight, JR! He has to prove a point to the fans here that he deserves to be the X-WCW TV Champ.”
JR: “We will also have a match between D-Extreme and Judge Death. I cant wait to see how this match transpire. And ladies and gents, our main event will be a TLC match for the X-WCW International Tag Team Titles.”
RK: “We will see bodies hitting the floor tonight on that one, JR.”
JR: “We will also show you the build up of all competitors in the X-WCW PPV that is royal bash. We will interview some X-WCW superstars on their views about the upcoming event in The Highburry Stadium. And backstage we got Cole Ryan on standby with Judge Death”
Backstage
We go backstage where Cole Ryan is located. He is standing beside Judge Death to start the interview.
CR: “We are here backstage with Judge Death. Judge Death, the Royal Bash 2 is just weeks away and you are in the 30 man Royal Bash. Do you have any thoughts going into that match?”
JD: "Well...not particularly. Beyond thhe ssimple ffact thhat thhere will be many, many ssinfful wormss in thhe ring at oncce, all requiring puriffication ass quickly ass posssible, any othher ccircumsstanccess about thhe match are off no conccern to me.

CR: “Tonight, you will be facing D-Extreme, the man that you have cost a match more than once. Judge Death, what is it with you and D-Extreme?”
JD: "Iff I had an ansswer to thhat, I would havve told you - or ssomeone ffar more competent - a long time ago. Thhe ffact thhat I havve not indicatess, thhereffore, thhat I havve no ansswer.

We go back to ringside after that interview.
JR: “Very cold words there by Judge Death, if I do say so myself.”
RK: “He really wants to put some ‘justice’ or whatever on his enemies”
X-WCW TV Championship
Buried Alive Match
Reaper vs Tempest(C)
We go to ringside where Reaper is already in the corner waiting for his opponent. “Step Up” by Drowning Pool plays as Tempest comes out with his TV Title on his shoulder.
TH: “Introducing his opponent, he is the X-WCW Television Champion, TEMPEST!!!”
Tempest gets in the ring and hands over the belt to the referee. The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring.
JR: “It seems both men are staring down on the other here. The intimidation on both men are not clear as both men don’t show a trace of fear in their faces.”
RK: “Reaper tries too much and fails a lot to the likes of Rage and Judge Death. I bet he would have a better time here since Tempest is in the same size.”
Both men are still staring down on the other man until Tempest gives a little shove on the chest of Reaper. Reaper uses both hands to shove Tempest. Tempest gets back and shoves Reaper, to no avail seems unfazed by the shove. Reaper shoves Tempest hard, that Tempest falls on his ass on the mat. Tempest looks angry as he gets up and hits a punch across the face of Reaper. Reaper reels back as Tempest charges with a couple of more hard shots to the head. Tempest sends him to the ropes and follows Reaper.
JR: “Reaper avoids the clothesline and Tempest turns around to receive a throat thrust by Reaper. Reaper lights Tempest with a chop on the chest and backs him into the corner. Reaper is choking Tempest right now with his boot.”
RK: “Oh yeah, that is SO fair here in this match!”
JR: “Actually, yes , King. This is a buried alive match, you can do ANYTHING just to take care of the other man.”
RK: “Oh great, thanks for stealing my thunder, James!”
Reaper stops choking Tempest with the boot and grabs him. Reaper uses his strength to lift Tempest on his shoulders and crash land him on the mat with a powerslam. Tempest bellows in pain before Reaper picks him up and takes him down with a bodyslam. Reaper slides out of the ring and grabs Tempest’s foot to drag him out of the ring. Tempest falls down to the outside of the ring and Reaper starts to stomp down on him. The stomping stops when Reaper leaves Tempest down to grab something beneath the apron.
JR: “Reaper’s got a shovel and you know what King? Tempest better get up early and avoid that thing before it spells the end of his title reign and the end of his life if the crew cant dig him up in time.”
RK: “WATCH OUT TEMPEST!!!”
Tempest gets up slowly as Reaper is still looking the opposite direction with the shovel. Tempest approaches Reaper from behind. Tempest gives Reaper a sign that he is up and awake with a kick below the belt. Reaper goes down on his knees while Tempest takes the shovel away from him.
RK: “Now its time for Tempest to kick a can of whoop ass on Reaper!”
Tempest does that as he punctuates Reaper with a hard shot behind the head with the shovel. Reaper is down and out while Tempest grabs Reaper and drags him up the ramp. They are approaching the empty gravesite but Tempest stops for a while and drops the shovel. He picks up Reaper and hooks him up for a DDT on the steel ramp, but somehow Reaper gets out of it. Reaper pops one on the face of Tempest and kicks him in the gut. Tempest is sent crashing on the nearby crowd barrier and goes down. Reaper goes to the nearby land filler truck and opens up the driver’s side of the truck to get something.
JR: “What in the world is Reaper getting in that truck?”
RK: “Whatever it is, I bet its not the key to start the engine. All I know is, its set to be turned on just in case one of them is down on that grave.”
Reaper pulls out a sledgehammer out of the truck and jumps down. He goes down the ramp to where Tempest is recovering. We go to another camera angle and notice that Tempest is getting something beneath his tights while Reaper is approaching him with sledgehammer on hand. Reaper is right behind Tempest and slowly raises the hammer in glee. But Tempest quickly turns around and throws something out of the little plastic bag he pulled out of his tights. The powder in the plastic hits the eyes of Reaper and temporarily blinds him.
RK: “Tempest is using this match to his advantage, JR! That one I bet Reaper didn’t see coming!”
Tempest grabs the sledgehammer from Reaper and kicks Reaper in the gut. Tempest plants a DDT on Reaper before he drags him near the grave site. Once there, Reaper is slapped around by Tempest. Tempest, with sledgehammer on hand, backs up and waits for Reaper to get up. Reaper slowly picks himself up but a loud thud is heard as Tempest smacks the sledgehammer on the forehead of Reaper.
CROWD: “OOOOOOH!”
JR: “What a sadist Tempest is! He just smacked that sledgehammer hard on the forehead of Reaper. I think Reaper aint gonna get up soon after that.”
After the loud thud, Reaper falls back into the six feet grave that awaits him. Reaper is outcold as Tempest quickly gets in the truck. He presses the button and within seconds, the truck fills the gave with dirt, burying Reaper alive. The bell rings and Tempest gets out of the truck in victory.
TH: “The winner and STILL X-WCW TV Champ, TEMPEST!”
Tempest raises his arms him victory on stage, but his celebration is cut short as Judge Death comes out from backstage and smacks Tempest over the head with a nightstick.
JR: “Judge Death just attacked Tempest!”
RK: “Who? Oh that hissy turd? I see.”
JD starts smacking Tempest with the nightstick while he is down. JD stops and uses his superhuman strength to lift Tempest on his shoulders. JD goes down the ramp and puts Tempest down nearby the ring. He gets something out of the apron, a handcuff and cuffs one arm of Tempest. He cuffs the ring post with the remaining free cuffs before he resumes beating the hell out of Tempest.
RK: “Oh someone please stop this cheap attack”
Randal’s prayers were answered as “X gonna give it to ya” hits the PA systems. Out comes D-Extreme who charges down the ramp and quickly takes down JD from behind with a hard club to the back. On stage, we can see the X-WCW production crew digging up the grave where Reaper is at. X-WCW Doubleshot goes to a brief commercial break.
(Commercial break)
The sceen shows the X-WCW ring in black and white for about ten seconds before the image breaks into color to hear a roaring crowd and "remedy" by cold playing in the background.
"This December....the Highburry Stadium will never be the same again"
The scene shifts into ringside to show various X-WCW superstars battling it out.
"30 men....
1 ring...
1 goal"
The scene changes and we see the X-WCW Starcadde Xtreme logo flashing
"The road to Starcadde Xtreme has begun."

D-Extreme vs Judge Death
We go back to the ringside area as X-WCW goes back to air. Inside the ring, D-Extreme and Judge Death are exchanging some punches.
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Doubleshot! During the commercial break, Judge Death was sent into the ring by D-Extreme. We got an update on Tempest though, it seems as if the key to the handcuffs are with JD.”
RK: “I guess that means he has more time to rest until some one dumb enough frees him.”
JD whips D-Extreme to the ropes and catches him with a spinebuster. JD mounts on top of D-Ex and starts hammering away on his head until the referee breaks it up. Judge Death gets up and waits for D-Extreme to get up. D-Extreme slowly picks himself up on his feet and turns around to see Judge Death charging at him. D-Extreme takes him down with a drop toehold.
JR: “Judge Death is down with that drop toehold.”
Both D-Ex and JD get up at the same time. JD and D-Ex lock up each other but D-Extreme delivers two consecutive forearm smashes on the head of JD. JD is backed up and D-Ex sends him to the ropes. D-Extreme charges at JD for a clothesline but Judge Death ducks. Death waits for D-Ex to turn around before he grabs him by the throat.
RK: “This guy wants to chokeslam a big man like D-Ex?! He has got to be crazy!”
JD infact does that as he uses all his strength to slam D-Ex down the mat. The crowd cannot believe it, half fills the arena with “oh’s” while the other half just applauds JD for his amazing feat of strength.
JR: “What strength this guy has, King. To me, it looks IMPOSSIBLE that he did just that, but he, did it. There is no denying that fact.”
JD goes for the cover..1…2..D-Extreme kicks out of it. D-Ex is picked up by JD and he delivers some knee strikes to D-Ex’s sternum. D-Ex is sent to the corner where Judge Death climbs up and starts hammering away. Before JD could land the final punch, D-Extreme grabs him by the legs and slams him down the mat ala Hardcore Holly style.
JR: “D-Extreme just smacked JD down on the canvas with that Alabama Slam type maneuver.”
RK: “The source where D-Ex is drawing that energy, I do not know, JR. He might have a lot left in him in this match and he cannot be counted out yet.”
D-Extreme collapses down on JD, automatically pinning him. The referee counts…1….2….thr…NO! Kickout by Judge Death. JD crawls out from D-Ex and gets up. D-Extreme gets up as well as JD stalks him from behind. Judge Death quickly locks on his sleeper hold on D-Extreme. JD struggles to get his arm into D-Ex’s mouth as D-Extreme tries his best to stop it on its tracks. D-Ex backs up on the nearby corner to squash JD. JD is pressed hard and he lets go of the sleeper hold. JD is down on the corner as D-Ex is on all fours and taking a breather.
JR: “D-Ex was in a vulnerable position, but he prevailed in stopping JD’s dangerous finishing move.”
D-Extreme gets up and grabs JD on the corner and tosses him across the ring. JD rolls on the mat before D-Ex picks him up and sets him up for the Xtreme Factor. D-Ex lifts JD on his shoulders, but JD smacks him hard with a dusty elbow. D-Ex goes down and JD hooks one of D-Ex’s leg for the pin.
JR: “Here comes the pin..1….2…NO! D-Extreme gets a shoulder up.”
JD gets up and turns around as Tempest pulls his leg. JD backs away before shouting at Tempest, this gives D-Ex the time to get up. Judge Death spins around and receives a hard knee to the gut by D-Extreme. D-Ex hooks him up in the front facelock and finishes things off with the X-OCUTION.
JR: “THE X-OCUTION! THAT JUST RIGNED THE HELL OUT OF JUDGE DEATH!”
RK: “Oh no.”
D-Ex pins JD for the 1….2….3! The bell rings and the referee raises D-Ex’s hand in victory.
TH: “The winner by pinfall, D-EXTREME!”
D-Ex grabs the key from JD’s pants and slides down the ring. Tempest begs D-Ex to let him go from the handcuffs. D-Ex happily frees Tempest. Tempest is free from the handcuffs and thanks D-Extreme with a handshake. But as D-Ex turns around to head for the backstage, Tempest delivers a lowblow sending the big man down. Tempest starts stomping down and kicking D-Extreme until JD slides out of the ring and stops Tempest. JD pulls Tempest and rolls him back into the ring. JD gets back in the ring and starts hitting Tempest with some punches and kicks. No sooner, Tempest fights back.
JR: “The match is done, D-Ex wins. But King, I think Tempest and Judge Death cant wait to fight each other on Royal Bash.”
RK: “Youre telling me that JR? I can see Cyberstrike just ran past us here in the ramp and he is heading to get a piece of D-Extreme.”
D-Extreme gets up only to be greeted by a hard clothesline by Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike pounds away on D-Extreme outside while inside the ring, Tempest and Judge Death are going at it. All of a sudden, Eamon X and BLASTER storm in the stage and runs down the ramp. Eamon X slides in the ring and takes both Tempest and JD down with dual clotheslines. Blaster on the other hand, spins Cyberstrike around and nails him with the Deep Impact.
JR: “Eamon X and Blaster came to ringside and saved the day!”
RK: “More like ruin the day, they broke up a pretty good fight!”
Tempest gets out of the ring and regroups on the ramp while JD gets up in the ring awaiting a hard spear by Eamon. Judge Death is grabbed by Eamon and is tossed out of the ring. Outside we see Blaster helping D-Ex up while Cyberstrike heads up the ramp. Blaster grabs a nearby mic and calls Cyberstrike’s attention.
Blaster: “Hey Cyberstrike, you look like you cant wait for your match at Royal Bash in a couple of weeks huh? You are so pumped up that you want to take it out on your scheduled opponent ahead of time. Well I can feel you right there too. Infact, how about we warm ourselves up in a one on one contest here tonight?”
The fans pop hearing a match between CS and Blaster. Cyberstrike heads to the announce table and grabs a mic there.
CS: “You want a match you sunovabitch? Is that what you want?! Well by goodness…YOU GOT IT! You and me, for your US title….TONIGHT!”
The fans cheer louder as Blaster nods before replying.
Blaster: “See you later, Cyberstrike.”
X-WCW goes to a brief commercial break.
Backstage
Doubleshot goes back on air as we go backstage with Cole Ryan. With him are the X-WCW International tag team champions Final Frontier.
CR: Guys, what do you think of your opponents tonight in the TLC Match? You got to have a lot of words for Starstorm. But how about Ignavus and Xille? Do you see them as a threat tonight?
AJ: First, we have respect for StarStorm. They put on a hell of a match at Vendetta. We're looking forward to fighting them again because we know that the match will push both of our teams to the limit and be a match the fans will enjoy and remember.
Secondly, we're not too thrilled about fighting "Default". We still have no idea how they even got this match. They don't really deserve this match. It's just punishment for failing Cyberstrike at Vendetta and Warzone. Are we going to take them lightly? Hell no. They're after our tag belts and we take that very seriously.
SFM: We've watched afew of their matches, and know their styles. The one unknown factor is how they wrestle as a team. But we're ready for them. We'll go into the match, give it our all, and win, lose, or draw, we'll leave knowing we gave it our all.
CR: How about Royal Bash 2? You guys are aware both of you are entered into the 30 man royal bash. Would you two work together to eliminate the other 28 men or will it be a 'everyone for themselves' mentality for you guys?
AJ: We know. We're just going to let what happens happen. If it ends with just the two of us, we'll deal with it then. The objective is to survive as long as possible and show what we can do as single's wrestlers. The Royal Bash can be our gateway to stardom. We're going to take whatever opportunity we can get.
CR: Is there any gold you have your eye on in particular when you guys decide to show what you do in one on one?
AJ: Not really. Maybe one day I could compete for the X-WCW Wolrd Title, but I'll take what comes my way.
SFM: I'll be looking at the Xtreme and TV titles. I don't have the size or power for some of the big titles. Those two titles have some competitors that I could have some great matches with.
CR: Thank You gentlemen, good luck tonight and in the Bash.
X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Cyberstrike vs Blaster (c)
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Doubleshot. We just seen the backstage interview with Final Frontier and they seem to be ready to win their match tonight.”
RK: “More like, cocky, to me!”
JR: “Right now, it’s the match between Cyberstrike and Blaster for the US heavyweight title. Before the break, Blaster challenged Cyberstrike to a one on one contest.”
RK: “Cyberstrike accepted the challenge, JR. And tonight, Blaster is gonna eat his words once Cyberstrike will beat the living hell out of him!”
TH: “The following match is for the X-WCW US Heavyweight Title!”
“Imperium” by Machinehead plays as Blaster makes his way to the ring with the belt on his waist. The fans are on their feet as the US Champ makes his way down the ramp.
TH: “Introducing first, he is the X-WCW US heavyweight Champion. UK’s own….BLASTER!”
Blaster slides into the ring and awaits his competitor while he takes off the belt and hands it to the ref. The lights go out and the titantron shows the nTo sign.
“n…T…o”
“No Chance, That’s what you got”
“No Chance” by dope plays and Cyberstrike enters the stage. The fans in Europe show their disdain for the nTo leader with loud boos and jeers.
TH: “And the opponent, from Indianapolis Indiana, CYBERSTRIKE!”
Cyberstrike gets into the ring and goes to the top rope. He raises both arms to the crowd who continue to boo him. He goes down to the ring as the referee calls both men to get to the center. The bell rings and both men lock up.
JR: “The match has begun and both CS and BLASTER lock up. Blaster with the go-behind on Cyberstrike tries to do a back suplex on Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike stops it with a hard elbow to the face of Blaster.”
RK: “Someone tell Blast Man its too early to do that.”
Blaster gets kicked on the gut by Cyberstrike before receiving a snap suplex. Cyberstrike bounces off the ropes and lands an elbow drop straight to the chest of Blaster. Cyberstrike waits for Blaster to get up and charges at him for a clothesline. Blaster ducks the clothesline and bounces off the ropes. Blaster meets Cyberstrike with a flying forearm smash that takes both men down. Blaster is the first man to get up. Cyberstrike is up and turns around only for Blaster to take him down with a hiptoss. Cyberstrike is up again and Blaster takes him down yet again, this time with a dropkick to the face.
JR: “What an elevation there by Blaster. That dropkick might have rung 10 on the meter.”
Blaster stalks Cyberstrike who is getting up. Cyberstrike turns and Blaster grabs him for the Deep Impact. Cyberstrike smacks him on the side of the head with an elbow strike. Cyberstrike kicks Blaster’s gut and follows it up with a DDT. Blaster is down and Cyberstrike pins him.
JR: “Cyberstrike win the pin 1….2…Kickout! Blaster almost lost this match if he didn’t kick out in time”
RK: “Blaster got away with it this time, but Cyberstrike is gonna finish him off sooner or later in this match.”
Cyberstrike shakes his head and picks up Blaster. CS sends him to the corner and follows him there. CS is nearing the corner and he does a corner splash on Blaster. Blaster stumbles down and CS goes to the top rope. CS sees Blaster trying to get up and launches himself from the turnbuckle to deliver a double axe handle on the back of Blaster’s head. Blaster goes down hard on the mat as Cyberstrike gloats at him.
JR: “Cyberstrike seems to be focusing on the head of Blaster. I guess he is picking Blaster apart right now so he can use his Crackdown for more damage.”
RK: “I’m telling you JR, Blaster’s days as the X-WCW US Champion is DONE! Cyberstrike is going to come down at Royal Bash as the new US Champ.”
Cyberstrike shouts at Blaster to get up while the US Champ is struggling to get on his feet. Blaster is up and Cyberstrike hits him with the Crackdown!
JR: “CRACKDOWN! Blaster is down and CS pins him for the win. One…two…thr…NO! Blaster got the shoulder up!”
RK: “WHAT?!”
Cyberstrike cannot believe it and argues with the referee on the count. Blaster gets up and spins Cyberstrike around to deliver a couple of right hands across the face of CS. CS staggers backwards and falls down after one hard punch by Blaster. Blaster bounces off the ropes and hits a fist drop on the chest of Cyberstrike. Blaster picks him up and goes for the Deep Impact.
JR: “Blaster goes for the Deep Impact right now but CS hits him on the side of the head with an elbow smash. Blaster gets hit yet again before CS switches to the side of Blaster.”
RK: “CS has Blaster on his clutches now, you know whats next right, JR?! BREAKDOWN!”
In unison to what Randal said, CS delivers the breakdown on Blaster. The ring shakes as the impact of the move was immense. Blaster is down and Cyberstrike goes for the pin. One…two…thr..shoulder up by Blaster. Cyberstrike cannot believe it.
JR: “Blaster gets his shoulder up yet again! A breakdown, a crackdown, what does it take for the US champion to stay down?!”
RK: “I am baffled JR, either that or the referee is just stupid in counting that slow.”
Cyberstrike is irate and stomps on the prone body of Blaster as he shouts ‘stay down!’. CS has a frustrated look to him before he slides down to the outside. He grabs the chair nearby and tosses it into the ring before sliding back in. CS grabs the chair and waits for Blaster to get up. He approaches him but the referee stops CS and tells him to drop the chair. CS ignores him and shoves him out of the way, Blaster gets up and CS levels him with the chair. The referee calls for the bell to end the match.
TH: “The winner as a result of a disqualification, BLASTER!”
JR: “It seems to me Cyberstrike is not happy about Blaster not giving up on this match. But who could blame Blaster? He has a heart of a TRUE champion. A heart that Cyberstrike cannot break.”
RK: “You say that like CS was gonna dump him for some other girl! Hahaha!”
Cyberstrike drops the chair and leaves ringside with a scowl. Tidal is seen running past Cyberstrike on the ramp and grabs the US title outside the ring. Inside the ring, Blaster is helped up by the referee. Blaster turns around but he is blasted by Tidal with the US title on the head.
JR: “What a cheap shot there by Tidal!”
RK: “For once I agree, that title looks cheap on BOTH men if they were to wear it!”
Tidal starts stomping down on Blaster as the referee’s vain attempts to stop Tidal fails. The other referees from the back storm in to break up the fight as Doubleshot goes to a commercial break.

RK: “I am baffled JR, either that or the referee is just stupid in counting that slow.”
Cyberstrike is irate and stomps on the prone body of Blaster as he shouts ‘stay down!’. CS has a frustrated look to him before he slides down to the outside. He grabs the chair nearby and tosses it into the ring before sliding back in. CS grabs the chair and waits for Blaster to get up. He approaches him but the referee stops CS and tells him to drop the chair. CS ignores him and shoves him out of the way, Blaster gets up and CS levels him with the chair. The referee calls for the bell to end the match.
TH: “The winner as a result of a disqualification, BLASTER!”
JR: “It seems to me Cyberstrike is not happy about Blaster not giving up on this match. But who could blame Blaster? He has a heart of a TRUE champion. A heart that Cyberstrike cannot break.”
RK: “You say that like CS was gonna dump him for some other girl! Hahaha!”
Cyberstrike drops the chair and leaves ringside with a scowl. Tidal is seen running past Cyberstrike on the ramp and grabs the US title outside the ring. Inside the ring, Blaster is helped up by the referee. Blaster turns around but he is blasted by Tidal with the US title on the head.
JR: “What a cheap shot there by Tidal!”
RK: “For once I agree, that title looks cheap on BOTH men if they were to wear it!”
Tidal starts stomping down on Blaster as the referee’s vain attempts to stop Tidal fails. The other referees from the back storm in to break up the fight as Doubleshot goes to a commercial break.
X-WCW International Tag-Team Championship
TLCC Match
Xille and Igz vs StarStorm vs The Final Frontier(c)
JR: “All right folks: it’s time for our Doubleshot Main Event!”
RK: “The chain, The tables, the ladders, and the chairs are all ready! All we have to do now is wait for the three Tag Teams to show up!”
JR: “And one of those three teams – The Final Frontier – are putting their International Tag Team Titles on the line! Both belts are suspended above the ring as we speak!”
RK: “What a great fight this’ll be! Here’s Terri!”
“Leader of Men” hits, and Xille and Ignavus make their way out onto the stage to a loud face pop.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the following is a Tables, Ladders, Chains and Chairs Match! It is set for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW International Tag Team Championships! Introducing first: from Lancaster, Ohio and Simsbury, Connecticut respectively – the team of XILLE and IGNAVUS!”
The cheering continues as they make their way to the ring. As they enter the ring and pose for the crowd, “End of Everything” hits, and the team of StarStorm – Raven Darkstorm and Vanth Dreadstar – enter the arena to a mixed response.
TH: “And their first opponents: both hailing from parts unknown, they are the team of Raven Darkstorm and Vanth Dreadstar – STARSTORM!”
The two StarStorm members enter the ring, then “Lose Yourself” hits, and the current champions – AutobotJazz and SciFiMan, aka The Final Frontier – come out on stage to a HUGE face pop.
TH: “And finally: from Melbourne, Florida and Seattle, Washington respectively, they are the reigning and defending X-WCW International Tag Team Champions! They are the team of AutobotJazz and SciFiMan – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
The crowd continues to cheer for The Final Frontier as they enter the ring.
RK: “I must say: all of these teams are crowd favourites in one way or another, despite the mixed response for StarStorm!”
JR: “That’s right, and picking a winner for this match will be a pretty big ask too!”
RK: “And remember: there are no disqualifications or count-outs in this match!”
JR: “And there are no restrictions on the use of the tables, ladders or chairs either! Just the way you like it!”
The bell rings, and the match begins with a flurry of blows. While AJ and SFM double-team Raven, both Xille and Ignavus gang up on Vanth.
RK: “Wait a minute! This isn’t a handicap match! Raven and Vanth don’t deserve this!’
JR: “Well, pound for pound, StarStorm would have to be the most powerful team in this match, so the other teams will want to wear them down as soon as possible!”
The punches continue for a few moments, but the referee finally brings the situation under control, sending Vanth, SFM and Ignavus to the outside. Of course, this leaves Raven, AJ and Xille as the three legal men, but the double-teaming continues. Both AJ and Xille grab the slightly stunned Raven, whipping him into the front rope and dropping him with stereo dropkicks. However, the teamwork is short lived as both AJ and Xille begin to climb the ladder, trying to grab the International Tag Team belts. Both men near the top of it, and as AJ reaches for them, Xille shoves him right off the ladder to the mat.
While this is happening, Raven gets to his feet, and Vanth hands him a chair from the outside. And as Xille reaches for the belts, Raven nails him with a stiff chair shot to his lower back, causing Xille to fall to the mat.
With both opponents down, Raven starts to climb the ladder in an attempt to retain his team’s titles. But unbeknown to him, AJ tags SFM into the match, and SFM dropkicks the ladder, causing it – and Raven – to fall onto the back rope. As a consequence, Raven falls right through a table set up on the outside.
JR: “OUCH! That’s got to be painful!”
RK: “Falling through a table from that height would be a bone-breaking injury for most people!”
JR: “But not for these guys, Randal!”
RK: “Fair call, James. Raven’s not out yet!”
While SFM mounts the left rear turnbuckles for a high-risk move on the downed Raven, Xille tags Ignavus into the match up, and while SFM’s back is turned, Ignavus sneaks up behind him and hits a low blow on SFM, knocking him out of the ring.
Ignavus capitalises on this by mounting the turnbuckles himself, hitting a Swanton bomb on the downed SFM. This, however, knocks the wind out of Ignavus as well, and with both SFM and Ignavus on the ground, Raven gets up and re-enters the ring. He then tags in a fresh Vanth, who proceeds to climb the ladder and grab the belts, but the illegal men – AJ and Xille – grab the ladder by its side and pull it toward the front ropes, bringing Vanth to the mat.
However, Vanth lands on his feet, and as the referee sends the illegal men out, the legal opponents make their way back into the ring. Both SFM and Ignavus double-team Vanth with a succession of punches, before SFM whips Vanth into the left ropes. On the rebound, SFM and Ignavus hit a variation of the 3D – the Dudley Death Drop – on Vanth. But once again, the teamwork is short lived. Both SFM and Ignavus proceed to climb the ladder at the same time, and once SFM reaches for the belts, Ignavus hits SFM with another low blow, bringing him down.
Before long, Vanth is back on his feet, and once he sees Ignavus reaching for the belts, he grabs the side of the ladder, bringing it – and Ignavus – down in his direction. However, Ignavus jumps off before the ladder hits the ropes, and Vanth moves out of the way of the falling ladder. Soon, all three legal men are up and brawling once again.
JR: “Not a lot of finesse being shown in this match, I must say!”
RK: “Well, in a match-up of this nature, you wouldn’t expect them to get TOO technical, would you?”
While the legal men are fighting on the inside, their respective partners start to fight on the outside. After a few moments, SFM whips Vanth into the right rear corner of the ring, before hitting him with a stiff corner splash. SFM goes for another corner splash, yet at the same time, Ignavus charges at both men, hitting them with a running butt bump just as SFM hits the splash. As a result, both SFM and Vanth go down.
Ignavus then turns his attention to the outside, where the three-way brawl between AJ, Raven and Xille continues. Raven is downed with a low blow from Xille, but AJ grabs Xille and tries to whip him into the safety barrier. Xille reverses this, sending AJ right into the barrier. As soon as Raven is up, Ignavus mounts the front left turnbuckles, nailing Raven with a hard missile dropkick. With all of their opponents down, Xille and Ignavus get back into the ring in readiness to climb the ladder and claim the belts.
However, a familiar face makes his way through the crowd: it’s R.E.Rage.
RK: “Is that who I think it is?”
JR: “Yes, it’s R.E.Rage! Whatever he’s up to, it can’t be good!”
While the weary Ignavus and Xille stand the ladder again and start to climb it, the still unnoticed Rage grabs two more tables from underneath the ring, quickly setting them up atop the existing table on the front side. And once Ignavus and Xille reach the top, Rage bounds into the ring, grabbing onto the side of the ladder with his arms AND legs and bringing everything down. While Xille is able to land on the front ropes, Ignavus is not so lucky. Ignavus falls through all three tables on the outside!
JR: “DAMN YOU RAGE! They had the titles won!”
RK: “Not anymore! HA!”
Rage then runs back into the ring, armed with a chair. Xille, still smarting from the ladder fall, is catching his breath on the front ropes, and he turns around to see Rage charging at him with the chair. The blow is delivered with such force that it sends Xille right over the ropes, causing him to land right on top of his fallen partner. After this, all four of the remaining combatants get up, and Raven and Vanth turn their attention to Rage. Rage hits Vanth on the head with the chair, but Vanth simply shrugs it off. In a panic, Rage throws the chair down and tries to punch Vanth, but Vanth blocks the blow. This gives Raven time to come back into the ring and hit Rage from behind, thus enabling Vanth to put him into a headscissor position!
RK: “This could be it! The StarPower!”
JR: “And it’d serve Rage right for interfering in this match, legal though it may be!”
RK: “Serve him right?! What are you talking about JR?! Rage can do WHATEVER he wants to do.”
Sure enough, Raven and Vanth hit the StarPower – a spiked powerbomb – on Rage, before beating him down mercilessly.
Meanwhile, AJ and SFM reunite on the other side of the ring, and while AJ keeps an eye on the beating that Rage is receiving, SFM stands the ladder once again, climbing it and grabbing both belts.
RK: “That’s it! The Final Frontier are still the champs!”
JR: “Yes, but do StarStorm know it yet?”
RK: “If not, they will once the bell rings!”
JR: “Besides, they’re too busy beating Rage to within an inch of his life! And frankly, I don’t blame them!”
The bell rings, and Terri makes the announcement.
TH: “Here are your winners – and STILL the X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
Upon hearing this, Raven and Vanth become even more furious. They leave Rage lying in the ring, and launch an all-out attack on The Final Frontier. A flurry of blows is exchanged between both teams.
JR: “MY GOD! This battle’s over, but it seems the war between these two teams is only just beginning!”
RK: “Surely there’ll be a rematch soon!”
JR: “And I’m sure the fans at home would love that!”
RK: “So would I, but that goes without saying!”
A large group of event staff is needed to break up the two warring parties, and both teams are escorted to the backstage area.
JR: “Oh boy! What an insane match-up that was!”
RK: “You’ll get no argument from me on that!”
JR: “And that’s just a taste of things to come at The Royal Bash!”
RK: “If you have Pay-Per-View, you won’t want to miss that!”
JR: “For Randal King and Cole Ryan, I’m James Russell!”
RK: “Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you at The Royal Bash!”
JR: “Welcome to the tenth episode of X-WCW Doubleshot! This is the show to watch right now for you X-WCW fans. Tonight, we will see 3 action-packed matches!”
RK: “I cant wait to see the matches tonight, JR! Infact, this is gonna be a preview for our European fans of what to expect on Royal Bash 2.”
JR: “You said it Randal! The first match will be a buried alive match between the TV Champ, Tempest and Reaper. These guys are both powerhouses here in the X-WCW. We will see who will prevail and bury their opponent six feet under.”
RK: “I believe Tempest can finish off Reaper tonight, JR! He has to prove a point to the fans here that he deserves to be the X-WCW TV Champ.”
JR: “We will also have a match between D-Extreme and Judge Death. I cant wait to see how this match transpire. And ladies and gents, our main event will be a TLC match for the X-WCW International Tag Team Titles.”
RK: “We will see bodies hitting the floor tonight on that one, JR.”
JR: “We will also show you the build up of all competitors in the X-WCW PPV that is royal bash. We will interview some X-WCW superstars on their views about the upcoming event in The Highburry Stadium. And backstage we got Cole Ryan on standby with Judge Death”
Backstage
We go backstage where Cole Ryan is located. He is standing beside Judge Death to start the interview.
CR: “We are here backstage with Judge Death. Judge Death, the Royal Bash 2 is just weeks away and you are in the 30 man Royal Bash. Do you have any thoughts going into that match?”
JD: "Well...not particularly. Beyond thhe ssimple ffact thhat thhere will be many, many ssinfful wormss in thhe ring at oncce, all requiring puriffication ass quickly ass posssible, any othher ccircumsstanccess about thhe match are off no conccern to me.

CR: “Tonight, you will be facing D-Extreme, the man that you have cost a match more than once. Judge Death, what is it with you and D-Extreme?”
JD: "Iff I had an ansswer to thhat, I would havve told you - or ssomeone ffar more competent - a long time ago. Thhe ffact thhat I havve not indicatess, thhereffore, thhat I havve no ansswer.

We go back to ringside after that interview.
JR: “Very cold words there by Judge Death, if I do say so myself.”
RK: “He really wants to put some ‘justice’ or whatever on his enemies”
X-WCW TV Championship
Buried Alive Match
Reaper vs Tempest(C)
We go to ringside where Reaper is already in the corner waiting for his opponent. “Step Up” by Drowning Pool plays as Tempest comes out with his TV Title on his shoulder.
TH: “Introducing his opponent, he is the X-WCW Television Champion, TEMPEST!!!”
Tempest gets in the ring and hands over the belt to the referee. The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring.
JR: “It seems both men are staring down on the other here. The intimidation on both men are not clear as both men don’t show a trace of fear in their faces.”
RK: “Reaper tries too much and fails a lot to the likes of Rage and Judge Death. I bet he would have a better time here since Tempest is in the same size.”
Both men are still staring down on the other man until Tempest gives a little shove on the chest of Reaper. Reaper uses both hands to shove Tempest. Tempest gets back and shoves Reaper, to no avail seems unfazed by the shove. Reaper shoves Tempest hard, that Tempest falls on his ass on the mat. Tempest looks angry as he gets up and hits a punch across the face of Reaper. Reaper reels back as Tempest charges with a couple of more hard shots to the head. Tempest sends him to the ropes and follows Reaper.
JR: “Reaper avoids the clothesline and Tempest turns around to receive a throat thrust by Reaper. Reaper lights Tempest with a chop on the chest and backs him into the corner. Reaper is choking Tempest right now with his boot.”
RK: “Oh yeah, that is SO fair here in this match!”
JR: “Actually, yes , King. This is a buried alive match, you can do ANYTHING just to take care of the other man.”
RK: “Oh great, thanks for stealing my thunder, James!”
Reaper stops choking Tempest with the boot and grabs him. Reaper uses his strength to lift Tempest on his shoulders and crash land him on the mat with a powerslam. Tempest bellows in pain before Reaper picks him up and takes him down with a bodyslam. Reaper slides out of the ring and grabs Tempest’s foot to drag him out of the ring. Tempest falls down to the outside of the ring and Reaper starts to stomp down on him. The stomping stops when Reaper leaves Tempest down to grab something beneath the apron.
JR: “Reaper’s got a shovel and you know what King? Tempest better get up early and avoid that thing before it spells the end of his title reign and the end of his life if the crew cant dig him up in time.”
RK: “WATCH OUT TEMPEST!!!”
Tempest gets up slowly as Reaper is still looking the opposite direction with the shovel. Tempest approaches Reaper from behind. Tempest gives Reaper a sign that he is up and awake with a kick below the belt. Reaper goes down on his knees while Tempest takes the shovel away from him.
RK: “Now its time for Tempest to kick a can of whoop ass on Reaper!”
Tempest does that as he punctuates Reaper with a hard shot behind the head with the shovel. Reaper is down and out while Tempest grabs Reaper and drags him up the ramp. They are approaching the empty gravesite but Tempest stops for a while and drops the shovel. He picks up Reaper and hooks him up for a DDT on the steel ramp, but somehow Reaper gets out of it. Reaper pops one on the face of Tempest and kicks him in the gut. Tempest is sent crashing on the nearby crowd barrier and goes down. Reaper goes to the nearby land filler truck and opens up the driver’s side of the truck to get something.
JR: “What in the world is Reaper getting in that truck?”
RK: “Whatever it is, I bet its not the key to start the engine. All I know is, its set to be turned on just in case one of them is down on that grave.”
Reaper pulls out a sledgehammer out of the truck and jumps down. He goes down the ramp to where Tempest is recovering. We go to another camera angle and notice that Tempest is getting something beneath his tights while Reaper is approaching him with sledgehammer on hand. Reaper is right behind Tempest and slowly raises the hammer in glee. But Tempest quickly turns around and throws something out of the little plastic bag he pulled out of his tights. The powder in the plastic hits the eyes of Reaper and temporarily blinds him.
RK: “Tempest is using this match to his advantage, JR! That one I bet Reaper didn’t see coming!”
Tempest grabs the sledgehammer from Reaper and kicks Reaper in the gut. Tempest plants a DDT on Reaper before he drags him near the grave site. Once there, Reaper is slapped around by Tempest. Tempest, with sledgehammer on hand, backs up and waits for Reaper to get up. Reaper slowly picks himself up but a loud thud is heard as Tempest smacks the sledgehammer on the forehead of Reaper.
CROWD: “OOOOOOH!”
JR: “What a sadist Tempest is! He just smacked that sledgehammer hard on the forehead of Reaper. I think Reaper aint gonna get up soon after that.”
After the loud thud, Reaper falls back into the six feet grave that awaits him. Reaper is outcold as Tempest quickly gets in the truck. He presses the button and within seconds, the truck fills the gave with dirt, burying Reaper alive. The bell rings and Tempest gets out of the truck in victory.
TH: “The winner and STILL X-WCW TV Champ, TEMPEST!”
Tempest raises his arms him victory on stage, but his celebration is cut short as Judge Death comes out from backstage and smacks Tempest over the head with a nightstick.
JR: “Judge Death just attacked Tempest!”
RK: “Who? Oh that hissy turd? I see.”
JD starts smacking Tempest with the nightstick while he is down. JD stops and uses his superhuman strength to lift Tempest on his shoulders. JD goes down the ramp and puts Tempest down nearby the ring. He gets something out of the apron, a handcuff and cuffs one arm of Tempest. He cuffs the ring post with the remaining free cuffs before he resumes beating the hell out of Tempest.
RK: “Oh someone please stop this cheap attack”
Randal’s prayers were answered as “X gonna give it to ya” hits the PA systems. Out comes D-Extreme who charges down the ramp and quickly takes down JD from behind with a hard club to the back. On stage, we can see the X-WCW production crew digging up the grave where Reaper is at. X-WCW Doubleshot goes to a brief commercial break.
(Commercial break)
The sceen shows the X-WCW ring in black and white for about ten seconds before the image breaks into color to hear a roaring crowd and "remedy" by cold playing in the background.
"This December....the Highburry Stadium will never be the same again"
The scene shifts into ringside to show various X-WCW superstars battling it out.
"30 men....

D-Extreme vs Judge Death
We go back to the ringside area as X-WCW goes back to air. Inside the ring, D-Extreme and Judge Death are exchanging some punches.
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Doubleshot! During the commercial break, Judge Death was sent into the ring by D-Extreme. We got an update on Tempest though, it seems as if the key to the handcuffs are with JD.”
RK: “I guess that means he has more time to rest until some one dumb enough frees him.”
JD whips D-Extreme to the ropes and catches him with a spinebuster. JD mounts on top of D-Ex and starts hammering away on his head until the referee breaks it up. Judge Death gets up and waits for D-Extreme to get up. D-Extreme slowly picks himself up on his feet and turns around to see Judge Death charging at him. D-Extreme takes him down with a drop toehold.
JR: “Judge Death is down with that drop toehold.”
Both D-Ex and JD get up at the same time. JD and D-Ex lock up each other but D-Extreme delivers two consecutive forearm smashes on the head of JD. JD is backed up and D-Ex sends him to the ropes. D-Extreme charges at JD for a clothesline but Judge Death ducks. Death waits for D-Ex to turn around before he grabs him by the throat.
RK: “This guy wants to chokeslam a big man like D-Ex?! He has got to be crazy!”
JD infact does that as he uses all his strength to slam D-Ex down the mat. The crowd cannot believe it, half fills the arena with “oh’s” while the other half just applauds JD for his amazing feat of strength.
JR: “What strength this guy has, King. To me, it looks IMPOSSIBLE that he did just that, but he, did it. There is no denying that fact.”
JD goes for the cover..1…2..D-Extreme kicks out of it. D-Ex is picked up by JD and he delivers some knee strikes to D-Ex’s sternum. D-Ex is sent to the corner where Judge Death climbs up and starts hammering away. Before JD could land the final punch, D-Extreme grabs him by the legs and slams him down the mat ala Hardcore Holly style.
JR: “D-Extreme just smacked JD down on the canvas with that Alabama Slam type maneuver.”
RK: “The source where D-Ex is drawing that energy, I do not know, JR. He might have a lot left in him in this match and he cannot be counted out yet.”
D-Extreme collapses down on JD, automatically pinning him. The referee counts…1….2….thr…NO! Kickout by Judge Death. JD crawls out from D-Ex and gets up. D-Extreme gets up as well as JD stalks him from behind. Judge Death quickly locks on his sleeper hold on D-Extreme. JD struggles to get his arm into D-Ex’s mouth as D-Extreme tries his best to stop it on its tracks. D-Ex backs up on the nearby corner to squash JD. JD is pressed hard and he lets go of the sleeper hold. JD is down on the corner as D-Ex is on all fours and taking a breather.
JR: “D-Ex was in a vulnerable position, but he prevailed in stopping JD’s dangerous finishing move.”
D-Extreme gets up and grabs JD on the corner and tosses him across the ring. JD rolls on the mat before D-Ex picks him up and sets him up for the Xtreme Factor. D-Ex lifts JD on his shoulders, but JD smacks him hard with a dusty elbow. D-Ex goes down and JD hooks one of D-Ex’s leg for the pin.
JR: “Here comes the pin..1….2…NO! D-Extreme gets a shoulder up.”
JD gets up and turns around as Tempest pulls his leg. JD backs away before shouting at Tempest, this gives D-Ex the time to get up. Judge Death spins around and receives a hard knee to the gut by D-Extreme. D-Ex hooks him up in the front facelock and finishes things off with the X-OCUTION.
JR: “THE X-OCUTION! THAT JUST RIGNED THE HELL OUT OF JUDGE DEATH!”
RK: “Oh no.”
D-Ex pins JD for the 1….2….3! The bell rings and the referee raises D-Ex’s hand in victory.
TH: “The winner by pinfall, D-EXTREME!”
D-Ex grabs the key from JD’s pants and slides down the ring. Tempest begs D-Ex to let him go from the handcuffs. D-Ex happily frees Tempest. Tempest is free from the handcuffs and thanks D-Extreme with a handshake. But as D-Ex turns around to head for the backstage, Tempest delivers a lowblow sending the big man down. Tempest starts stomping down and kicking D-Extreme until JD slides out of the ring and stops Tempest. JD pulls Tempest and rolls him back into the ring. JD gets back in the ring and starts hitting Tempest with some punches and kicks. No sooner, Tempest fights back.
JR: “The match is done, D-Ex wins. But King, I think Tempest and Judge Death cant wait to fight each other on Royal Bash.”
RK: “Youre telling me that JR? I can see Cyberstrike just ran past us here in the ramp and he is heading to get a piece of D-Extreme.”
D-Extreme gets up only to be greeted by a hard clothesline by Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike pounds away on D-Extreme outside while inside the ring, Tempest and Judge Death are going at it. All of a sudden, Eamon X and BLASTER storm in the stage and runs down the ramp. Eamon X slides in the ring and takes both Tempest and JD down with dual clotheslines. Blaster on the other hand, spins Cyberstrike around and nails him with the Deep Impact.
JR: “Eamon X and Blaster came to ringside and saved the day!”
RK: “More like ruin the day, they broke up a pretty good fight!”
Tempest gets out of the ring and regroups on the ramp while JD gets up in the ring awaiting a hard spear by Eamon. Judge Death is grabbed by Eamon and is tossed out of the ring. Outside we see Blaster helping D-Ex up while Cyberstrike heads up the ramp. Blaster grabs a nearby mic and calls Cyberstrike’s attention.
Blaster: “Hey Cyberstrike, you look like you cant wait for your match at Royal Bash in a couple of weeks huh? You are so pumped up that you want to take it out on your scheduled opponent ahead of time. Well I can feel you right there too. Infact, how about we warm ourselves up in a one on one contest here tonight?”
The fans pop hearing a match between CS and Blaster. Cyberstrike heads to the announce table and grabs a mic there.
CS: “You want a match you sunovabitch? Is that what you want?! Well by goodness…YOU GOT IT! You and me, for your US title….TONIGHT!”
The fans cheer louder as Blaster nods before replying.
Blaster: “See you later, Cyberstrike.”
X-WCW goes to a brief commercial break.
Backstage
Doubleshot goes back on air as we go backstage with Cole Ryan. With him are the X-WCW International tag team champions Final Frontier.
CR: Guys, what do you think of your opponents tonight in the TLC Match? You got to have a lot of words for Starstorm. But how about Ignavus and Xille? Do you see them as a threat tonight?
AJ: First, we have respect for StarStorm. They put on a hell of a match at Vendetta. We're looking forward to fighting them again because we know that the match will push both of our teams to the limit and be a match the fans will enjoy and remember.
Secondly, we're not too thrilled about fighting "Default". We still have no idea how they even got this match. They don't really deserve this match. It's just punishment for failing Cyberstrike at Vendetta and Warzone. Are we going to take them lightly? Hell no. They're after our tag belts and we take that very seriously.
SFM: We've watched afew of their matches, and know their styles. The one unknown factor is how they wrestle as a team. But we're ready for them. We'll go into the match, give it our all, and win, lose, or draw, we'll leave knowing we gave it our all.
CR: How about Royal Bash 2? You guys are aware both of you are entered into the 30 man royal bash. Would you two work together to eliminate the other 28 men or will it be a 'everyone for themselves' mentality for you guys?
AJ: We know. We're just going to let what happens happen. If it ends with just the two of us, we'll deal with it then. The objective is to survive as long as possible and show what we can do as single's wrestlers. The Royal Bash can be our gateway to stardom. We're going to take whatever opportunity we can get.
CR: Is there any gold you have your eye on in particular when you guys decide to show what you do in one on one?
AJ: Not really. Maybe one day I could compete for the X-WCW Wolrd Title, but I'll take what comes my way.
SFM: I'll be looking at the Xtreme and TV titles. I don't have the size or power for some of the big titles. Those two titles have some competitors that I could have some great matches with.
CR: Thank You gentlemen, good luck tonight and in the Bash.
X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Cyberstrike vs Blaster (c)
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Doubleshot. We just seen the backstage interview with Final Frontier and they seem to be ready to win their match tonight.”
RK: “More like, cocky, to me!”
JR: “Right now, it’s the match between Cyberstrike and Blaster for the US heavyweight title. Before the break, Blaster challenged Cyberstrike to a one on one contest.”
RK: “Cyberstrike accepted the challenge, JR. And tonight, Blaster is gonna eat his words once Cyberstrike will beat the living hell out of him!”
TH: “The following match is for the X-WCW US Heavyweight Title!”
“Imperium” by Machinehead plays as Blaster makes his way to the ring with the belt on his waist. The fans are on their feet as the US Champ makes his way down the ramp.
TH: “Introducing first, he is the X-WCW US heavyweight Champion. UK’s own….BLASTER!”
Blaster slides into the ring and awaits his competitor while he takes off the belt and hands it to the ref. The lights go out and the titantron shows the nTo sign.
“n…T…o”
“No Chance, That’s what you got”
“No Chance” by dope plays and Cyberstrike enters the stage. The fans in Europe show their disdain for the nTo leader with loud boos and jeers.
TH: “And the opponent, from Indianapolis Indiana, CYBERSTRIKE!”
Cyberstrike gets into the ring and goes to the top rope. He raises both arms to the crowd who continue to boo him. He goes down to the ring as the referee calls both men to get to the center. The bell rings and both men lock up.
JR: “The match has begun and both CS and BLASTER lock up. Blaster with the go-behind on Cyberstrike tries to do a back suplex on Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike stops it with a hard elbow to the face of Blaster.”
RK: “Someone tell Blast Man its too early to do that.”
Blaster gets kicked on the gut by Cyberstrike before receiving a snap suplex. Cyberstrike bounces off the ropes and lands an elbow drop straight to the chest of Blaster. Cyberstrike waits for Blaster to get up and charges at him for a clothesline. Blaster ducks the clothesline and bounces off the ropes. Blaster meets Cyberstrike with a flying forearm smash that takes both men down. Blaster is the first man to get up. Cyberstrike is up and turns around only for Blaster to take him down with a hiptoss. Cyberstrike is up again and Blaster takes him down yet again, this time with a dropkick to the face.
JR: “What an elevation there by Blaster. That dropkick might have rung 10 on the meter.”
Blaster stalks Cyberstrike who is getting up. Cyberstrike turns and Blaster grabs him for the Deep Impact. Cyberstrike smacks him on the side of the head with an elbow strike. Cyberstrike kicks Blaster’s gut and follows it up with a DDT. Blaster is down and Cyberstrike pins him.
JR: “Cyberstrike win the pin 1….2…Kickout! Blaster almost lost this match if he didn’t kick out in time”
RK: “Blaster got away with it this time, but Cyberstrike is gonna finish him off sooner or later in this match.”
Cyberstrike shakes his head and picks up Blaster. CS sends him to the corner and follows him there. CS is nearing the corner and he does a corner splash on Blaster. Blaster stumbles down and CS goes to the top rope. CS sees Blaster trying to get up and launches himself from the turnbuckle to deliver a double axe handle on the back of Blaster’s head. Blaster goes down hard on the mat as Cyberstrike gloats at him.
JR: “Cyberstrike seems to be focusing on the head of Blaster. I guess he is picking Blaster apart right now so he can use his Crackdown for more damage.”
RK: “I’m telling you JR, Blaster’s days as the X-WCW US Champion is DONE! Cyberstrike is going to come down at Royal Bash as the new US Champ.”
Cyberstrike shouts at Blaster to get up while the US Champ is struggling to get on his feet. Blaster is up and Cyberstrike hits him with the Crackdown!
JR: “CRACKDOWN! Blaster is down and CS pins him for the win. One…two…thr…NO! Blaster got the shoulder up!”
RK: “WHAT?!”
Cyberstrike cannot believe it and argues with the referee on the count. Blaster gets up and spins Cyberstrike around to deliver a couple of right hands across the face of CS. CS staggers backwards and falls down after one hard punch by Blaster. Blaster bounces off the ropes and hits a fist drop on the chest of Cyberstrike. Blaster picks him up and goes for the Deep Impact.
JR: “Blaster goes for the Deep Impact right now but CS hits him on the side of the head with an elbow smash. Blaster gets hit yet again before CS switches to the side of Blaster.”
RK: “CS has Blaster on his clutches now, you know whats next right, JR?! BREAKDOWN!”
In unison to what Randal said, CS delivers the breakdown on Blaster. The ring shakes as the impact of the move was immense. Blaster is down and Cyberstrike goes for the pin. One…two…thr..shoulder up by Blaster. Cyberstrike cannot believe it.
JR: “Blaster gets his shoulder up yet again! A breakdown, a crackdown, what does it take for the US champion to stay down?!”
RK: “I am baffled JR, either that or the referee is just stupid in counting that slow.”
Cyberstrike is irate and stomps on the prone body of Blaster as he shouts ‘stay down!’. CS has a frustrated look to him before he slides down to the outside. He grabs the chair nearby and tosses it into the ring before sliding back in. CS grabs the chair and waits for Blaster to get up. He approaches him but the referee stops CS and tells him to drop the chair. CS ignores him and shoves him out of the way, Blaster gets up and CS levels him with the chair. The referee calls for the bell to end the match.
TH: “The winner as a result of a disqualification, BLASTER!”
JR: “It seems to me Cyberstrike is not happy about Blaster not giving up on this match. But who could blame Blaster? He has a heart of a TRUE champion. A heart that Cyberstrike cannot break.”
RK: “You say that like CS was gonna dump him for some other girl! Hahaha!”
Cyberstrike drops the chair and leaves ringside with a scowl. Tidal is seen running past Cyberstrike on the ramp and grabs the US title outside the ring. Inside the ring, Blaster is helped up by the referee. Blaster turns around but he is blasted by Tidal with the US title on the head.
JR: “What a cheap shot there by Tidal!”
RK: “For once I agree, that title looks cheap on BOTH men if they were to wear it!”
Tidal starts stomping down on Blaster as the referee’s vain attempts to stop Tidal fails. The other referees from the back storm in to break up the fight as Doubleshot goes to a commercial break.
Backstage
Doubleshot goes back on air as we go backstage with Cole Ryan. With him are the X-WCW International tag team champions Final Frontier.
CR: Guys, what do you think of your opponents tonight in the TLC Match? You got to have a lot of words for Starstorm. But how about Ignavus and Xille? Do you see them as a threat tonight?
AJ: First, we have respect for StarStorm. They put on a hell of a match at Vendetta. We're looking forward to fighting them again because we know that the match will push both of our teams to the limit and be a match the fans will enjoy and remember.
Secondly, we're not too thrilled about fighting "Default". We still have no idea how they even got this match. They don't really deserve this match. It's just punishment for failing Cyberstrike at Vendetta and Warzone. Are we going to take them lightly? Hell no. They're after our tag belts and we take that very seriously.
SFM: We've watched afew of their matches, and know their styles. The one unknown factor is how they wrestle as a team. But we're ready for them. We'll go into the match, give it our all, and win, lose, or draw, we'll leave knowing we gave it our all.
CR: How about Royal Bash 2? You guys are aware both of you are entered into the 30 man royal bash. Would you two work together to eliminate the other 28 men or will it be a 'everyone for themselves' mentality for you guys?
AJ: We know. We're just going to let what happens happen. If it ends with just the two of us, we'll deal with it then. The objective is to survive as long as possible and show what we can do as single's wrestlers. The Royal Bash can be our gateway to stardom. We're going to take whatever opportunity we can get.
CR: Is there any gold you have your eye on in particular when you guys decide to show what you do in one on one?
AJ: Not really. Maybe one day I could compete for the X-WCW Wolrd Title, but I'll take what comes my way.
SFM: I'll be looking at the Xtreme and TV titles. I don't have the size or power for some of the big titles. Those two titles have some competitors that I could have some great matches with.
CR: Thank You gentlemen, good luck tonight and in the Bash.

Cyberstrike vs Blaster (c)
JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Doubleshot. We just seen the backstage interview with Final Frontier and they seem to be ready to win their match tonight.”
RK: “More like, cocky, to me!”
JR: “Right now, it’s the match between Cyberstrike and Blaster for the US heavyweight title. Before the break, Blaster challenged Cyberstrike to a one on one contest.”
RK: “Cyberstrike accepted the challenge, JR. And tonight, Blaster is gonna eat his words once Cyberstrike will beat the living hell out of him!”

“Imperium” by Machinehead plays as Blaster makes his way to the ring with the belt on his waist. The fans are on their feet as the US Champ makes his way down the ramp.

X-WCW International Tag-Team Championship
TLCC Match
Xille and Igz vs StarStorm vs The Final Frontier(c)
JR: “All right folks: it’s time for our Doubleshot Main Event!”
RK: “The chain, The tables, the ladders, and the chairs are all ready! All we have to do now is wait for the three Tag Teams to show up!”
JR: “And one of those three teams – The Final Frontier – are putting their International Tag Team Titles on the line! Both belts are suspended above the ring as we speak!”
RK: “What a great fight this’ll be! Here’s Terri!”
“Leader of Men” hits, and Xille and Ignavus make their way out onto the stage to a loud face pop.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the following is a Tables, Ladders, Chains and Chairs Match! It is set for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW International Tag Team Championships! Introducing first: from Lancaster, Ohio and Simsbury, Connecticut respectively – the team of XILLE and IGNAVUS!”
The cheering continues as they make their way to the ring. As they enter the ring and pose for the crowd, “End of Everything” hits, and the team of StarStorm – Raven Darkstorm and Vanth Dreadstar – enter the arena to a mixed response.
TH: “And their first opponents: both hailing from parts unknown, they are the team of Raven Darkstorm and Vanth Dreadstar – STARSTORM!”
The two StarStorm members enter the ring, then “Lose Yourself” hits, and the current champions – AutobotJazz and SciFiMan, aka The Final Frontier – come out on stage to a HUGE face pop.
TH: “And finally: from Melbourne, Florida and Seattle, Washington respectively, they are the reigning and defending X-WCW International Tag Team Champions! They are the team of AutobotJazz and SciFiMan – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
The crowd continues to cheer for The Final Frontier as they enter the ring.
RK: “I must say: all of these teams are crowd favourites in one way or another, despite the mixed response for StarStorm!”
JR: “That’s right, and picking a winner for this match will be a pretty big ask too!”
RK: “And remember: there are no disqualifications or count-outs in this match!”
JR: “And there are no restrictions on the use of the tables, ladders or chairs either! Just the way you like it!”
The bell rings, and the match begins with a flurry of blows. While AJ and SFM double-team Raven, both Xille and Ignavus gang up on Vanth.
RK: “Wait a minute! This isn’t a handicap match! Raven and Vanth don’t deserve this!’
JR: “Well, pound for pound, StarStorm would have to be the most powerful team in this match, so the other teams will want to wear them down as soon as possible!”
The punches continue for a few moments, but the referee finally brings the situation under control, sending Vanth, SFM and Ignavus to the outside. Of course, this leaves Raven, AJ and Xille as the three legal men, but the double-teaming continues. Both AJ and Xille grab the slightly stunned Raven, whipping him into the front rope and dropping him with stereo dropkicks. However, the teamwork is short lived as both AJ and Xille begin to climb the ladder, trying to grab the International Tag Team belts. Both men near the top of it, and as AJ reaches for them, Xille shoves him right off the ladder to the mat.
While this is happening, Raven gets to his feet, and Vanth hands him a chair from the outside. And as Xille reaches for the belts, Raven nails him with a stiff chair shot to his lower back, causing Xille to fall to the mat.
With both opponents down, Raven starts to climb the ladder in an attempt to retain his team’s titles. But unbeknown to him, AJ tags SFM into the match, and SFM dropkicks the ladder, causing it – and Raven – to fall onto the back rope. As a consequence, Raven falls right through a table set up on the outside.
JR: “OUCH! That’s got to be painful!”
RK: “Falling through a table from that height would be a bone-breaking injury for most people!”
JR: “But not for these guys, Randal!”
RK: “Fair call, James. Raven’s not out yet!”
While SFM mounts the left rear turnbuckles for a high-risk move on the downed Raven, Xille tags Ignavus into the match up, and while SFM’s back is turned, Ignavus sneaks up behind him and hits a low blow on SFM, knocking him out of the ring.
Ignavus capitalises on this by mounting the turnbuckles himself, hitting a Swanton bomb on the downed SFM. This, however, knocks the wind out of Ignavus as well, and with both SFM and Ignavus on the ground, Raven gets up and re-enters the ring. He then tags in a fresh Vanth, who proceeds to climb the ladder and grab the belts, but the illegal men – AJ and Xille – grab the ladder by its side and pull it toward the front ropes, bringing Vanth to the mat.
However, Vanth lands on his feet, and as the referee sends the illegal men out, the legal opponents make their way back into the ring. Both SFM and Ignavus double-team Vanth with a succession of punches, before SFM whips Vanth into the left ropes. On the rebound, SFM and Ignavus hit a variation of the 3D – the Dudley Death Drop – on Vanth. But once again, the teamwork is short lived. Both SFM and Ignavus proceed to climb the ladder at the same time, and once SFM reaches for the belts, Ignavus hits SFM with another low blow, bringing him down.
Before long, Vanth is back on his feet, and once he sees Ignavus reaching for the belts, he grabs the side of the ladder, bringing it – and Ignavus – down in his direction. However, Ignavus jumps off before the ladder hits the ropes, and Vanth moves out of the way of the falling ladder. Soon, all three legal men are up and brawling once again.
JR: “Not a lot of finesse being shown in this match, I must say!”
RK: “Well, in a match-up of this nature, you wouldn’t expect them to get TOO technical, would you?”
While the legal men are fighting on the inside, their respective partners start to fight on the outside. After a few moments, SFM whips Vanth into the right rear corner of the ring, before hitting him with a stiff corner splash. SFM goes for another corner splash, yet at the same time, Ignavus charges at both men, hitting them with a running butt bump just as SFM hits the splash. As a result, both SFM and Vanth go down.
Ignavus then turns his attention to the outside, where the three-way brawl between AJ, Raven and Xille continues. Raven is downed with a low blow from Xille, but AJ grabs Xille and tries to whip him into the safety barrier. Xille reverses this, sending AJ right into the barrier. As soon as Raven is up, Ignavus mounts the front left turnbuckles, nailing Raven with a hard missile dropkick. With all of their opponents down, Xille and Ignavus get back into the ring in readiness to climb the ladder and claim the belts.
However, a familiar face makes his way through the crowd: it’s R.E.Rage.
RK: “Is that who I think it is?”
JR: “Yes, it’s R.E.Rage! Whatever he’s up to, it can’t be good!”
While the weary Ignavus and Xille stand the ladder again and start to climb it, the still unnoticed Rage grabs two more tables from underneath the ring, quickly setting them up atop the existing table on the front side. And once Ignavus and Xille reach the top, Rage bounds into the ring, grabbing onto the side of the ladder with his arms AND legs and bringing everything down. While Xille is able to land on the front ropes, Ignavus is not so lucky. Ignavus falls through all three tables on the outside!
JR: “DAMN YOU RAGE! They had the titles won!”
RK: “Not anymore! HA!”
Rage then runs back into the ring, armed with a chair. Xille, still smarting from the ladder fall, is catching his breath on the front ropes, and he turns around to see Rage charging at him with the chair. The blow is delivered with such force that it sends Xille right over the ropes, causing him to land right on top of his fallen partner. After this, all four of the remaining combatants get up, and Raven and Vanth turn their attention to Rage. Rage hits Vanth on the head with the chair, but Vanth simply shrugs it off. In a panic, Rage throws the chair down and tries to punch Vanth, but Vanth blocks the blow. This gives Raven time to come back into the ring and hit Rage from behind, thus enabling Vanth to put him into a headscissor position!
RK: “This could be it! The StarPower!”
JR: “And it’d serve Rage right for interfering in this match, legal though it may be!”
RK: “Serve him right?! What are you talking about JR?! Rage can do WHATEVER he wants to do.”
Sure enough, Raven and Vanth hit the StarPower – a spiked powerbomb – on Rage, before beating him down mercilessly.
Meanwhile, AJ and SFM reunite on the other side of the ring, and while AJ keeps an eye on the beating that Rage is receiving, SFM stands the ladder once again, climbing it and grabbing both belts.
RK: “That’s it! The Final Frontier are still the champs!”
JR: “Yes, but do StarStorm know it yet?”
RK: “If not, they will once the bell rings!”
JR: “Besides, they’re too busy beating Rage to within an inch of his life! And frankly, I don’t blame them!”
The bell rings, and Terri makes the announcement.
TH: “Here are your winners – and STILL the X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
Upon hearing this, Raven and Vanth become even more furious. They leave Rage lying in the ring, and launch an all-out attack on The Final Frontier. A flurry of blows is exchanged between both teams.
JR: “MY GOD! This battle’s over, but it seems the war between these two teams is only just beginning!”
RK: “Surely there’ll be a rematch soon!”
JR: “And I’m sure the fans at home would love that!”
RK: “So would I, but that goes without saying!”
A large group of event staff is needed to break up the two warring parties, and both teams are escorted to the backstage area.
JR: “Oh boy! What an insane match-up that was!”
RK: “You’ll get no argument from me on that!”
JR: “And that’s just a taste of things to come at The Royal Bash!”
RK: “If you have Pay-Per-View, you won’t want to miss that!”
JR: “For Randal King and Cole Ryan, I’m James Russell!”
RK: “Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you at The Royal Bash!”
