Last Warzone…
The black and white footage shows Cole Ryan with Divebomb
CR: "Tonight, Cane revealed the tournament brackets. Your name is on the top of the list, meaning your match will be up next here on Warzone. But the thing is, Cyberstrike will be your opponent. Anything you want to say to your opponent tonight for your match?"
DB: “Strike, you cost me my titles. And there is nothing you or your nTo teammates armed with all the kendo sticks you can manage to scrounge up can do to stop me from walking out of that match victorious. But if for some unknown reason you do manage to win, then before the night is out I will leave you and your rag tag team bloodied and beaten and on the losing end of your nTo war.”
As Divebomb speaks, we are shown the footage of Cyberstrike attacking both Eamon X and Divebomb in the ring during the X-WCW UW Title match.
CR: " With the names like Eamon X, D-Extreme, Judge Death and even your former GPA team mate Tempest do you think you have any chances of winning in the LOTR tournament?"
We see the four X-WCW superstars in their respective clips as Cole Ryan mentions them in the background before we go to another footage.
DB: “I got to the top of this fed by winning a match against all the top names in this fed. No matter who I am up against I will win and I will get back what is rightfully mine, even if that means getting a fair fight in against Eamon X or fighting that fool D-Extreme or having to beat the hell out of the real turncoat Tempest. This is my tournament and in The End I will walk out victorious.”
While D-Bomb speaks, we see the following clips
- Divebomb hitting a belly to back suplex on Eamon
- D-Extreme getting hit with The End inside a steel cage
- Divebomb hitting Tempest with a clothesline
The footage fades we go to a full black screen
Later that night…
Cyberstrike sets D-Bomb for the Breakdown but before he could connect, he stops as the stage pyros are set off. “Break and Enter” plays through the PA Systems and Cyberstrike lets go of Divebomb. Cyberstrike looks at the stage and tries to search for Eamon. Eamon X is nowhere to be found on stage while CS is holding on the top rope shouting for Eamon to come out and fight him. While this is happening, the crowd are on their feet in anticipation for their countrymen’s entrance to the ringside.
JR: “Eamon’s music has hit the arena but…Eamon is nowhere in sight!”
Both CS and the crowd go into disappointment as the music cuts and Eamon is nowhere to be found. Inside the ring, CS turns around only to get a hard shot to the gut by DB. Divebomb lines him up for THE END and it hits.
JR: “THE END! THE END!!! Cyberstrike is down and Divebomb goes for the pin.”
The referee counts the pin 1…2…3. The bell rings as Divebomb gets up and gets his hand raised by the referee.
TH: “The winner by pinfall…DIVEBOMB!”
The footage fades as we fade into the confrontation of Eamon X and Cyberstrike.
CS: “Eamon, I know this is Australia and all…but you know that you got a lot of explaining to do. Infact, you have a LOT of explaining to do.”
EX: “Oh and what kind of explanations do I need to tell you Cyberstrike? Is it about my music hitting off the speakers during your match? If it is, then just complain or…hell…just FIRE the damn technician. Its not my fault if they mistakenly play it now right?”
CS: “Oh so it’s the technician’s fault? Its so easy for you to get away with this huh? Well whether you did plan it or not, its gonna be your loss, kid. You talk about people screwing you and not look at yourself? It aint the X-WCW that screws you up…its YOU who screws the X-WCW up!”
EX: “I don’t know what your talking about Strike, cause I can only hear 10,000 plus of my countrymen saying that YOU SUCK! Oh and Cyberstrike, if I wanted to get revenge from what you did at Nitro, I would have gotten to the ring and handed it myself. You know me, I don’t back down from any challenge. So Cyberstrike, your out of the title tournament, but I’m not. Now how about you…get over it?”
Eamon turns around and drops the mic. Before he gets out of the ring, he gets blasted by the kendostick on the back of his head. The crowd boos heavily as Cyberstrike starts to stomp down on Eamon. Cyberstrike picks up Eamon and goes for the Breakdown, but Eamon X gets out of it and sends CS to the ropes. Eamon catches CS and delivers the Xplosion on him.
The footage ends and we go to the usual X-WCW Nitro intro as its new theme song ‘killing in the name of’ plays through the background as the video package shows the various X-WCW Superstars. The opening video ends and we are immediately sent to the ringside area where thousands of people are on their feet as the stage pyros start to explode. We go to the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome to X-WCW Nitro! I’m James Russell and alongside me as always is Randal King. We are live from the Tokyo Egg dome! 2 years have past here King after the last time the X-WCW made its live show here in 2003.”
RK: “The Tokyo Eggdome has been a memorable place in the history books of the X-WCW. It was here where D-Extreme got his 2nd X-WCW World Title win as he defeated Wolfang for both the Heavyweight and US title belts. This was also the venue where Vaccaro tried to buy out the X-WCW from Cyberstrike.”
JR: “And you know how that ended up huh, King?”
RK: “Yeah, the contract got torn up in pieces. Lots of memories here JR, and I’m glad that the 2005 X-Tour made a stop here on our road to Starrcade Xtreme”
LotR II First Round Match
Autobot Jazz vs Eamon X
“Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy” hits, and Autobot Jazz makes his entrance to a warm crowd response.
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring First Round Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Melbourne, Florida, he is one half of The Final Frontier – AUTOBOT JAZZ!”
The cheering continues as Autobot Jazz makes his way to the ring.
Then the lights go off, and “Break & Enter” hits. Once the pyro explodes and the lights return, Eamon X appears on stage, and he is greeted by an even louder cheer!
JR: “He’s not as outspoken as he was, Randal, but the fans still love Eamon X!”
RK: “I don’t love him, James, because I’m straight!”
JR: “And you think he’s not?”
RK: “I didn’t say that!”
TH: “And his opponent: a native of Sydney, Australia, he is The Australian Badass – EAMON X!”
The cheering continues as Eamon X makes his way to the ring and enters it. Once he does, he and AJ shake hands, then the bell rings to start the match.
Both men tie up, but EX gains the strength advantage after a few seconds, throwing AJ right to the mat. But instead of going for a hold, EX allows AJ to get up and tie up with him again. However, the second tie up yields an identical result, but once again, EX allows AJ to rise.
Both men go for one more tie up, but this time, AJ breaks it with three knee lifts to EX’s midsection. With EX slightly stunned by this, AJ takes the initiative and whips EX into the front ropes. On the rebound, EX goes for a running clothesline, but AJ ducks it, and after EX rebounds off the back ropes, AJ catches him and hits a stiff powerslam. AJ goes for a quick pinfall.
RK: “1…. NO!”
JR: “A VERY fast kick out there!”
EX gets up, only for AJ to renew his attack. He grabs EX by his arm, taking him down with a short arm clothesline, and once EX is down, AJ runs to the right ropes, launching himself onto the middle rope and jumping into an Asai moonsault. However, it misses its intended target: EX rolls out of the way at the last moment, causing him to land facefirst in the middle of the ring.
EX stands, and waits for AJ to get to his feet. While AJ is bent over, EX grabs him in a front facelock predicament, lifting him up and hitting a thunderous Jackhammer! He goes for a pinfall of his own.
RK: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “Autobot Jazz is quite a sturdy opponent: not many people would kick out of that!”
EX is up first, and he allows AJ to stand once more. As soon as AJ is up, EX whips him into the left ropes, and on the rebound, he hits AJ with a knee to the groin. After this, EX puts AJ in a pump handle slam position, but AJ manages to escape it, landing behind EX and nailing him with a hard reverse DDT! AJ goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. LATE!”
JR: “It takes much more than that to keep a proven champion like Eamon X down!”
RK: “Proven my ass! He only had the Ultimate World Title for 3 matches!”
JR: “Stop it.”
EX gets up, and AJ attempts to whip EX into the back ropes, but EX reverses it. Once AJ rebounds, EX counters with a boot to the face, knocking AJ to the mat quickly.
EX waits for him to stand again, and immediately gets behind AJ, locking him in the pump handle position again. Though this time, AJ does not escape: EX hits one of his trademark moves – the X-Breaker! EX goes for another pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. HE’S UP!”
RK: “These guys are such spot monkeys, don’t you think?”
JR: “Well, they’re giving it their all! It’s a hard-hitting match – just the way we like it!”
RK: “Come on, guys! I want to eat now!”
AJ gets up, but EX quickly whips him into the right rear corner, following it up with a hard corner splash! And with AJ stunned, EX climbs to the middle rope, trapping AJ in the corner.
The crowd counts the punches – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and once he’s done, EX backs off, bringing AJ out of the corner and hitting a swinging neckbreaker on him! He goes for another pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Well, Autobot Jazz is certainly proving his worth as a singles competitor tonight!”
JR: “What are you suggesting?”
RK: “Perhaps he should ditch Sci Fi Man and go it alone!”
JR: “I should’ve known you’d say that! After all, you’ve dumped more partners than Liz Taylor in your career, haven’t you?”
RK: “OK, you’ve got me there!”
EX does not wait for AJ to rise this time. Instead, he turns the downed AJ on his stomach and locks him in the Lockdown!
JR: “This could be it! Eamon X will go through if Autobot Jazz taps out!”
RK: “Though Autobot Jazz doesn’t look like tapping out any time soon! And they’re WAY too close to the ropes!”
Sure enough, EX has AJ too close to the right ropes, and after about 30 seconds, AJ manages to turn his legs toward them. Eventually, AJ manages to get his left foot on the bottom rope, forcing EX to break the hold.
EX allows AJ to stand, whipping him into the left ropes. On the rebound, AJ tries to clothesline EX, but he ducks it. And on the second rebound, EX catches AJ, hitting an X-Blast on him!
Once AJ is down, EX signals for the X-Plosion, prompting a HUGE cheer from the fans in attendance!
JR: “THIS IS IT! He’s going for his most powerful finishing move!”
RK: “Yeah, who couldn’t see THIS coming?”
EX brings the tired AJ to his feet, placing him into the headscissor position and hitting the X-Plosion on him!
JR: “X-PLOSION! X-PLOSION! X-PLOSION!”
RK: “Let’s just count the pinfall, shall we? 1…. 2…. 3! Eamon X advances!”
JR: “Curb your enthusiasm there, Randal!”
RK: “I AM, James!”
EX stands up, raising his fist in victory.
TH: “Here’s your winner – EAMON X!”
But as he faces the front of the ring, Cyberstrike and D-Extreme – armed with kendo sticks – make their way through the audience behind him. And by the time EX turns around, it’s too late: Cyberstrike and D-Extreme hit the ring, hitting EX on both sides of his face several times with their kendo sticks.
JR: “Oh someone PLEASE stop this cheap assault by our tag team champs!”
With EX smarting from the impact, both members of nTo Red turn their attention to the fallen Autobot Jazz, beating him down without mercy. But after a few moments, Sci Fi Man makes his way to the ring, sporting two steel chairs. EX, having recovered quickly from the kendo stick shots sees him coming. Upon reaching the ring, SFM throws one of the chairs to EX, and they wait for the nTo Red members to turn and face them. The nTo Red members make a hasty retreat, and both EX and SFM see to AJ in the ring.
JR: “Cyberstrike and D-Extreme flees the ring before Eamon and SFM could make a comeback with those steel chair. What a bunch of cowards those guys are.”
RK: “Cowards? nTo red are just using their heads and are wise enough to leave before they get hit.”
JR: “The nTo Red have Eamon X – and anyone around him – firmly in their sights!”
RK: “So what else is new? We’ll be right back.”
Backstage
We go backstage where we see nTo white, along with their leader, AJ Styles having an interview with Cole Ryan.
CR: “We are here backstage with AJ Styles and the rest of the nTo white group. AJ, on Warzone, nTo white did a 3 on one against Jarrett until Starstorm had to help him out to even out the brawl. Tonight, it seems like there will be a tag team match featuring you and Daniels against Starstorm. Now last week, we know you and Daniels were absent because of travel problems..so how does it feel to be in action tonight?”
AJ: “How does it feel Cole? Ya don’t have to ask me that question. Ah feel great! Tonight, the nTo white will grace into the ringside inside one of the most prestigious stadiums of the world, THE TOKYO EGGDOME! *cheap pop* Tonight, me and Daniels will kick some Starstorm ass! That’s all ah got to say Cole.”
CR: “Nice to hear that. Now how about you Powermaster? Tonight, you will be facing one of the newest guys here in the X-WCW, Grant Snell. Any thoughts on this kid?”
PMP: “Cole, that kid has the look, he has the ability to go far in the X-WCW. That’s what I think about him. But tonight, he wished he never had to take me on in this tournament. Grant, you came into a match where you should have backed out prior to the night it will happen. I am Powermaster Prime, boy. Do you have any idea…ANY IDEA AT ALL that your facing one of the most tenacious and most dangerous man here in the X-WCW today?! NO! So tonight, your gonna see something that I shown every wrestler I faced into that squares circle, and that’s my brute power. Tonight, you will find out why I AM THE POWER!”
CR: “Thank you for your time guys. Back to you JR.”
We go back to ringside where we pan over to the announce table.
JR: “nTo white are all here and accounted for, King. That means only one thing for Cyberstrike and nTo red and that’s ‘TROUBLE’!”
RK: “I think it’s the other way around, JR. Tonight, I think Starstorm will win one for nTo red and make nTo white and AJ Styles lose face here at Tokyo.”
LotR II First Round Match
Ryan X vs The Xterminator
“American Idiot” hits, and Ryan X comes out on stage to a warm reception, despite the pro-Canada attitude he has.
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring First Round Match, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Toronto, Ontario, Canada – RYAN X!”
Ryan X makes his way to the ring and enters it.
A moment later, “Detroit Rock City” hits, and The Xterminator makes his way out onto the stage to a loud chorus of boos.
TH: “And his opponent: from HellHole City, USA – THE XTERMINATOR!”
The fans in attendance continue to boo The Xterminator as he approaches the ring.
Once both men are in the ring, the bell rings to start the match. Both combatants stalk each other around the ring for about 20 seconds before finally tying up in the middle.
JR: “Both men have tied up on each other. It seems to be a battle for power here at the start of this lock up, King.”
Neither opponent is able to gain the strength advantage, so Xterminator breaks free of the tie up by kneeing Ryan in the groin. This low blow goes unseen by the referee, and Xterminator capitalises on this by whipping Ryan into the front ropes. On Ryan’s rebound, Xterminator knocks him to the mat with a stiff back elbow shot.
While Ryan is down, Xterminator runs to the right ropes, rebounding and hitting Ryan with a falling headbutt! Xterminator goes for the first pin attempt.
RK: “1…. NO!”
JR: “Too early to finish this one! And I’m sure these big men have plenty more left in them!”
Ryan gets up quickly, and when Xterminator attempts to whip him again, Ryan reverses it, sending Xterminator into the back ropes and nailing him with a hard tiltawhirl backbreaker on the rebound!
JR: “No matter how big or tough you are, that’s got to hurt!”
RK: “But Ryan X isn’t going for a pin just yet!”
Sure enough, Ryan moves toward Xterminator’s legs, turning him over and locking him in an STF!
JR: “My God! He could have the match in the bag with this hold!”
RK: “Though I strongly doubt that The Xterminator’s going to submit that easily!”
Despite the growing pain in his back, Xterminator shows no sign of submitting. After about 30 seconds, Xterminator starts to claw his way toward the right ring ropes. Slowly but surely, Xterminator reaches the bottom rope, breaking Ryan’s hold. Undaunted by this, Ryan allows Xterminator to get up, only to place him into a backslide pinning predicament.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “The Xterminator would never live it down if he lost the match like that!”
Xterminator gets right up, and once Ryan stands, Xterminator unleashes a flurry of punches on him. He then whips Ryan into the front left corner, following it up with a hard running butt bump!
Xterminator then signals for another running butt bump, and executes the move on the winded Ryan. However, by the time he moves to hit a third bump, Ryan has caught his breath. Xterminator charges again, but Ryan drops to his knees and rolls out of the way, causing Xterminator to hit the turnbuckles hard. Ryan runs behind Xterminator, locking his waist and nailing him with a stiff German suplex. But instead of releasing Xterminator, Ryan executes two more German suplexes on him!
JR: “WOW! Three textbook German suplexes!”
RK: “Say what you will about Cyberstrike, but he’s unearthed a great talent in Ryan X! Perhaps he’ll go to the nTo Red and get rid of that pesky Eamon X!”
JR: “You wish!”
RK: “Yeah, I do!”
Xterminator is smarting from the impact, but he still manages to get up. But Ryan is ready for him: he delivers a stiff Enziguri kick to Xterminator’s face, but oddly enough, Xterminator doesn’t go down. Ryan then tries several punches, but Xterminator simply shrugs them off!
JR: “Don’t tell me Xterminator’s ‘hulking up’!”
RK: “He might well be!”
Xterminator continues to shrug off Ryan’s repeated blows, until finally, he’s had enough. Xterminator blocks Ryan’s last punch, and with a powerful clothesline, Xterminator sends Ryan crashing to the mat! Xterminator then mounts the front right turnbuckles, and he jumps into a bionic elbow, but Ryan rolls out of the way at the last possible moment, causing Xterminator to hit his left elbow on the mat awkwardly.
Ryan gets right up, and as soon as Xterminator does the same, Ryan grabs him by the left arm, locking it in a tight hammerlock!
JR: “This kid’s good, Randal! That’s a VERY good, yet very simple, way to stop an opponent’s momentum!”
RK: “So much for the ‘hulking up’ idea, James!”
Xterminator is in a torrent of pain, but before long, Ryan releases the hold. This reprieve for Xterminator, though, is VERY short lived: Ryan grabs Xterminator by his left arm once more, lifting him up into a fireman’s carry position and hitting one of his signature moves – The X-Drive – on Xterminator!
But Ryan does not go for the final pinfall. Instead, he grabs the downed Xterminator by his legs, locking him in his modified Sharpshooter – The Canadian Crippler – for a submission attempt.
Ryan’s ring positioning is absolutely perfect: try as he might, Xterminator cannot escape, and after about 40 seconds, Xterminator – almost unconscious from the pain – taps out. The bell rings to end the match.
RK: “What a finish!”
JR: “This kid Ryan X has got a big future in this business, if this match-up is any indication!”
TH: “Here’s your winner – RYAN X!”
The crowd cheers his hard fought victory.
RK: “So only a couple of spots in the next round of the Lord of the Ring Tournament need to be filled!”
JR: “And those matches are still to come, so stay with us!”
LotR II First Round Match
Grant Snell vs Powermaster
“Numb” hits, and Grant Snell makes his entrance to a solid face pop.
TH: “The following is another Lord of the Ring First Round Match, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Bangkok, Thailand – GRANT SNELL!”
The cheering continues as Grant Snell approaches the ring.
As soon as he enters it, “Wolfpac” hits, and Powermaster – in full nTo white attire – comes out on stage to a mixed reaction
TH: “And his opponent: from parts unknown, and representing nTo white – POWERMASTER!”
PM makes his way to the ring. He enters it, then the bell rings to commence the match.
JR: “As good as Grant Snell is, he’ll need to be at his very best to beat the barbarous behemoth known as Powermaster!”
RK: “Otherwise this could become the mismatch of the century!”
PM and Snell tie up in the middle of the ring, but PM throws Snell to the mat with authority! Snell gets back up, tying up with his larger opponent once more, but this only yields the same result.
Snell rises again, but PM breaks this tie up differently: he picks Snell up over his head, walking to the left ring ropes (which face the stage, naturally) and Gorilla press slamming Snell right out of the ring!
RK: “So much for your new golden boy, James!”
JR: “You might be right, Randal: Snell will NEVER beat Powermaster with power, so he’ll have to use his skill!”
By this time, Snell is hurting on the floor. PM follows this up by mounting the front left turnbuckles, and he launches into a big splash! However, Snell manages to lift his knees at the last moment, knocking the wind out of the flying PM!
PM rolls over on the floor in pain, and Snell gets to his feet. As the referee begins the mandatory 10 count, Snell grabs PM by his right leg, then he turns him over and locks him in a Ken Shamrock-style ankle lock!
JR: “NOW Grant Snell’s got the right idea!”
RK: “Yeah, but he’s in the wrong position! This is NOT a Falls Count Anywhere match, you know!”
JR: “I think he realises that, but he just wants to wear the big man down any way he can!”
RK: “Meanwhile, the referee’s counted to 4! Get back in that ring, guys!”
The referee counts to 5. Hearing this, Snell releases the hold and walks back to the ring, stopping the count. PM is a little slower to return, on account of the damage inflicted on his right ankle.
Once both men are back in the ring, the battle continues. Snell attempts to whip PM into the right ropes, but PM reverses the whip, knocking Snell to the mat with a left-footed boot to the face.
JR: “A very, VERY smart move by Powermaster there: he wants to protect that aching ankle!”
RK: “He’s a smart guy on the mat, and you have to admire that! I, however don’t like the fact he is a turncoat to CS!”
PM rebounds off the back ropes, hitting the fallen Snell with a hard elbow drop right to the throat! PM goes for the first pinfall attempt of the match.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Your boy’s got some fuel left in the tank – but how much?”
Snell gets up, but as soon as he does, PM goes on the attack again. PM whips Snell into the back right corner, then he gives him several hip-and-shoulder tackles. Snell is stunned, so PM backs up, sizing up his opponent with a crotch chop (a la Kevin Nash) and charging at him with a stiff back elbow. The thunderous impact brings Snell to his knees and to the mat, and with Snell down again, PM gives a Wolfpac sign.
RK: “This is it! He wants to finish Snell off!”
JR: “It looks like he wants to do it sooner rather than later!”
PM keeps his right hand in the air for a chokeslam, and he waits for Snell to get up. As soon as Snell is up and facing PM, PM slaps his hand on Snell’s throat. Despite Snell’s attempts to break out of it, PM kicks Snell in the gut, enabling him to execute the chokeslam!
Although Snell ends up close to the left ropes, PM goes for the pinfall anyway.
RK: “1…. 2…. Snell gets his foot on the rope!”
JR: “What a stroke of luck for this newcomer! There may be some life in this match-up yet!”
PM stands, and he allows Snell to stand as well. PM whips Snell into the back ropes, but in a surprise move, Snell places PM in a crucifix pinning predicament on the rebound!
JR: “1…. 2…. Powermaster rolls out of it!”
RK: “Snell might be getting his second wind now, but Powermaster won’t give this match up without a fight!”
Both men get up, but Snell is able to strike first: he bounces off the back ropes and takes PM down with a hard spinning heel kick to PM’s face.
As PM is on the mat recovering from this, Snell gets up and reverses into the back left corner in preparation for a spear. Once PM is on his feet, Snell launches into the spear attempt, but PM is not even budged by it. In fact, he catches Snell, stopping him dead in his tracks. With Snell in an almost completely helpless position, PM places Snell’s head between his legs and hits a VERY rough powerbomb on the smaller man. PM goes for the final pin attempt.
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! Powermaster WINS!”
JR: “It appears that PMP’s prediction was right, King. He dominated Grant Snell from start to finish of this match.”
The triumphant PM gets up, raising his hand in another Wolfpac gesture.
TH: “Here’s your winner – POWERMASTER!”
The fans give him a light cheer as he leaves the ring.
JR: “That was one good LOTR first round match. Up next, we will have yet ANOTHER LOTR match. This time its gonna be a member of nTo RED instead of White.”
RK: “Damn right, JR. D-Ex vs SFM is up next!”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen as we said earlier, the X-WCW is continuing the LotR tournament right here in the Tokyo Egg Dome. The winner of this match will not only go to the main event of Starrcade, but he will bring with him the UW championship title.”
RK: “Damn straight JR! So it means only one thing, Blaster can slack off all he wants since he can just sit and wait for his opponent.”
“Imperium” by Machinehead plays through the speakers and out comes Blaster. The Tokyo fans give him a warm ovation as he makes his way down to the aisle and slap some hands. He slides into the ring and climbs to the turnbuckle. He poses for the fans on the top turnbuckle for a while before he goes down and gets the microphone.
Blaster: “Its nice to see that we are back here at Tokyo. I mean, it sure was a blast for me and the rest of the X-WCW stars to explore this great city of Japan. 2 Years ago, this was the place where the X-WCW World Title changed hands two times. One was during the epic encounter of Cyberstrike and Wolfang and then D-Extreme and Wolfang. Now tonight, I may not be wrestling, but on Starrcade: Xtreme, make no doubt that the Blast Man is going to win the coveted X-WCW UW Title!”
The fans cheer.
Blaster: “Simply put it, it’s the fans who backed me up on that win at Royal Bash. You guys are the ones responsible for making me rise to the top. And on X-WCW Starrcade, I will promise you and I will promise each and every fan that I have that I will be the next X-WCW UW Champ! No one can stop me. I don’t care who wins in this tournament. I don’t care if Eamon wins it. I don’t care if D-Extreme wins it. I don’t care if Jarrett wins it. HECK…I don’t care if Divebomb wins it and gets his title bac-”
Blaster gets cut off as “Warriors of the world united” hits the speakers. The cheers turn into boos as Divebomb makes his way down the ramp. He gets in the ring and he just stares a hole through Blaster. Blaster shakes his head and starts to speak again.
Blaster: “Before I was so rudely interrupted, I said I DON’T CARE if Divebomb wins it and gets his title back. Divebomb, I am glad that you’re here to hear this in person. You were just lucky that you won that UW title. Admit it, Cane helped you win that title in the first pl-”
Divebomb snatches the mic from Blaster and glares before he speaks.
DB: “You know what Blaster, I am sick and tired of people saying that. Time and time again I prove that I can win matches without any help. Yet people like YOU, people like Eamon, people who want to give excuses…can only say that I can only win the big matches with help. You people ramble on that I did not deserve to win it that night. Let me tell you something Blaster, how does it feel when you lose your title without fault and when you were about to finish your opponent off? How does it feel to win a match where you clearly will win, yet, someone will help you anyway? How does it feel when you try to prove something and the unexpected happen? Well…you got any answers for that boy?”
Blaster just stays silent as Divebomb continues.
DB: “Exactly…you have NO IDEA of how I feel. You have NO IDEA how it feels to let someone steal your thunder. You don’t know how it feels to have someone take something so precious away from you without any good reason. So you say I’m lucky? Think again! Its easy for you to say that cause you have a very comfortable spot already where you can just sit down and face the winner of the tournament. What about me? I will fight round per round like its my most crucial match just to win my belt back. Wanna prove that no one can stop you? Prove it! I sure can prove that I am unstoppable when I win this tournament and take back what is mine. So when I win the tourney and get my title back, be sure its still gonna be you and me. Its YOU and ME, Blaster. Don’t expect anyone less than me. Book it, sign it…BRING IT.”
Divebomb drops the mic and both men go to a heated stare down as the crowd cheers wildly. Blaster backs up and he picks up the mic.
Blaster: “Don’t worry D-Bomb, I’ll bring it, I’ll prove it…and when you are the one I will face….that UW belt..I’LL WIN IT.”
Divebomb backs up and slides to the outside of the ring. He backs up the ramp and looks at the ring. He mutters, ‘we’ll see’ to Blaster who is still in the ring.
JR: “What a heated confrontation there by Divebomb and Blaster.”
RK: “Divebomb makes a good point, JR. I would be pissed if someone would end my match in a DQ when I already have him with my piledriver. Its going to be interesting IF they will be the two men who will wrestle at the Starrcade main event.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
LotR II First Round Match
D-Extreme vs SciFi Man
TH: “The following match is a Lord of the Ring first round match and it is scheduled for one fall”
“Loose Yourself” by Eminem plays in the background as SFM enters the stage.
TH: “Introducing first from Seattle, Washington…SCIFI MAN!!!”
The crowd cheers as SFM makes his way down the aisle and slaps some hands with the fans. He slides into the ring and waits for his opponent.
JR: “Its another LotR first round match, King and I think this is gonna be one hell of a bout. But there is no doubt in everyone’s mind that SciFi Man is the underdog here in this fight as he takes on D-Extreme.”
RK: “Underdog is an understatement, JR. SFM is gonna be facing one of the most established wrestlers here in the X-WCW. D-Extreme is the first X-WCW Heavyweight Champion here and what did SFM achieved aside from a tag team title here in the X-WCW? NOTHING. Tonight, I think SFM should do his best and try to get an upset here…yeah…even though it seems impossible.”
“N…T…O!”
The red and black lights strobe into ringside as “X Gonna give it to ya” plays through the PA Systems.
TH: “And his opponent, he is one half of the X-WCW Tag Team Champions…D-EXTREME!”
D-Extreme makes his way down the ring as the red and black lights continue to flicker through the arena. The crowd boos heavily at the nTo member as he makes his way down the aisle. He climbs into the ring and raises both arms in the air before the lights go back normal.
RK: “Time to put SFM into his place here tonight, JR.”
The bell rings to start off the match and SFM goes infront of D-Ex and offers him a handshake. D-Extreme slowly extends his hand towards SFM but instead of shaking it, he gives a quick slap to the head of SFM before he backs away.
JR: “Such arrogance there by D-Extreme. I didn’t knew he had it in him, King.”
RK: “I guess D-Extreme realizes his rights and bragging rights to push around the new guys here.”
D-Extreme and SFM lock up and D-Extreme kicks SFM hard on the gut. D-Ex bounces off the ropes and hits a running knee smash on the ribs of SFM. SFM is down and D-Extreme picks him up to deliver a couple of clubs to the back. D-Extreme places SFM up before he lights him up with a stiff chop. SFM takes revenge with a hard chop of his own on D-Ex. SFM follows it up with a couple of fast jabs before he bounces off the ropes.
JR: “SFM with the shot off the ropes and he slides under the taller D-Extreme. D-Ex turns around and gets taken down by a diamond cutter type of move by SciFi Man. D-Ex is down and SFM goes for the pin..1…2..KICKOUT BY D-EX!”
RK: “He could have pinned D-Ex there. We were THAT close of an upset, JR. D-Ex better step it up if he knows what is good for him.”
D-Extreme and SFM are up at the same time and SFM charges at D-Ex. D-Extreme catches SFM with a big boot to the face. SFM is picked up by D-Extreme and D-Ex delivers a huge bodyslam on his opponent. D-Extreme picks up SFM again and sends him to the corner. D-Extreme charges at SFM who is at the corner and connects with a hard elbow smash to the face of SFM.
RK: “Man, that would have just made SFM’s mug ugly.”
JR: “A very hard elbow smash there on the face of SFM by D-Extreme. D-Extreme continues to pummel down on SciFi Man at that corner, King. D-Extreme stops the hard kicks to the rib area and now he starts to work on it with a couple of shoulder charges”
SFM is down on the corner and D-Extreme starts choking him with his boot. The referee breaks up the choke hold and separates the two for a while. D-Extreme gets back at SFM and picks him up. SFM has a short burst of energy as he surprises D-Extreme with a flurry of punches to the face and body to keep the big man at bay. D-Extreme staggers after SFM delivers a superkick on him. SFM grabs D-Extreme and sends him to the ropes.
JR: “D-Extreme with the bounce off the ropes and SFM catches him with a hurracanrana. D-Extreme is sitting up on the mat and SFM connects with a hard dropkick to the back of D-Ex.”
RK: “That’s gonna hurt the back of the big guy. Remember JR, D-Ex has had back problems in the last 2 years.”
D-Extreme is in pain as he slowly gets himself up. SFM is behind him and adjusts his gloves before he raises it in the air as he waits for D-Ex to get up. D-Extreme turns around and SFM quickly grabs him by the throat.
JR: “WHAT IN THE?”
RK: “DON’T TELL ME THAT GUY IS GONNA…GONNA.”
SFM seems like he is going for a chokeslam on D-Ex, but D-Ex kicks him hard on the gut to let him go. D-Extreme hits a hard punch on the face of SFM to take him down.
RK: “I knew it was too good to be true for SFM to pull that off.”
SFM gets to his feet and D-Extreme goes for another punch. SFM dodges this one and he hits a dropkick right to the face of D-Ex. D-Ex is sent reeling to the corner where SFM follows him there to capitalize with a clothesline. D-Extreme remains on the corner as SFM climbs to the top and starts hammering away on the taller competitor.
JR: “SciFi Man starts to round up those punches on D-Extreme ..7…8…9…10! SFM climbs down and D-Ex comes stumbling down to the mat.”
SFM waits for D-Ex to get up and deliver a shinning wizard across the head of the bigger opponent. D-Ex is down and SFM goes for the pin. D-Ex gets his shoulder up on the last second to the disappointment of SFM and the Japanese crowd. SFM gets up and shakes his head as he picks D-Ex up. He tries to whip D-Ex but D-Ex blocks it and hits an elbow to the face of SFM. SFM staggers backwards and D-Ex scoops him up for a bodyslam.
JR: “Bodyslam by D-Extreme. SFM just got his back pummeled by that hard slam there to the canvas. D-Extreme picks up SciFi Man and he whips him to the ropes. D-Ex catches him with the inverted atomic drop and follows it up with a hard kick to the gut.”
RK: “D-Extreme is putting on a clinic here JR….SPINEBUSTER!”
SFM is down on the mat as D-Extreme lets out a loud laugh. The crowd boos loudly as D-Extreme puts his foot over the fallen SFM. The referee counts the pin.
JR: “D-Extreme with the pin…1….2…NO! SFM GOT THE SHOULDER UP!”
RK: “WHAT THE HELL?!”
D-Ex gets frustrated and picks up SFM again. He backs him onto the corner and starts to deliver a couple of shoulder charges at him. D-Ex spins SFM around and lifts him on the top turnbuckle. There he delivers his patented corner move, the back shaker, that sends SFM hard to the mat.
JR: “The back shaker connected and it seems like D-Ex is ready to finish this fight. D-Ex with the pin..1….2….NO! SFM gets a shoulder up yet again!”
RK: “SFM is either determined or just stupid to get his ass kicked yet again.”
D-Extreme didn’t look as pleased at the count as he just glares at the referee. He puts his attention to SFM and signals for the Xtreme Factor. He puts SFM between his legs and sets him up. But SFM holds onto D-Extreme as D-Ex hoists SFM on his shoulders. SFM hits his fists on the forehead of D-Ex to take him down. D-Extreme struggles to pull the move off as SFM delivers a head butt to D-Ex. D-Extreme is sent falling down the mat and SFM hooks one of D-Ex’s leg.
JR: “Here is the pin..1….2…3! OH BAH GAWD! SCIFI MAN WINS THIS MATCH!!!”
The bell rings and SciFi Man slides out of the ring and raises his arms in victory. “Loose Yourself” hits as the crowd cheers at the big win of SFM.
TH: “The winner of this match as a result of pinfall…SCIFI MAN!!!”
D-Extreme is seen sitting down on the mat with a shocked expression on his face. SFM celebrates on his way to the backstage as we see D-Ex arguing with the referee.
JR: “SciFi Man did it King! HE PULLED A BIG UPSET ON D-EXTREME!!!”
RK: “I cant believe it JR! This is unfair! The referee made a quick count!”
Backstage
We see Autobot Jazz greeting his partner with a hug and raises his partners hand as various X-WCW wrestlers applaud SFM’s win over D-Extreme. While all this is happening, we see someone entering the backstage and stands behind SFM and AJ. It turns out to be D-Extreme. The guys at the back go silent for a while as SFM and D-Ex stare down.
D-Ex: "Congratulations kid"
D-Extreme slowly extends his hand to SFM and SFM gladly accepts it. D-Extreme leaves them and heads to his locker room.
We go back to ringside for the next match.
Tag Team Match
Styles and Daniels vs Starstorm
RK: “Nice sportsmanship shown there by D-Ex. Boy, if I was D-Ex, I would have just beaten the hell out of SFM for getting a cheap win over me.”
JR: “And that’s one of the reasons D-Extreme is one of the greatest wrestlers here in the X-WCW and your not.”
RK: “Hey, that wasn’t so nice.”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen, the tag team match between the nTo white and the nTo red shall start right now.”
TH: “The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall!”
“n…T…o”
“End of everything” hits the PA System as Starstorm enters the stage with Jeff Jarrett in tow.
TH: “Introducing first…representing nTo red...STARSTORM!”
Starstorm make their way down the ring with Jarrett as the Tokyo crowd greet them with a loud round of boos and jeers.
JR: “Here comes Starstorm, King. They got Jarrett on their side as they will face AJ Style and Chris Daniels tonight in this tag team match. Last show, Jarrett was beaten up by nTo white until Starstorm came in to the rescue.”
“I Am” blares through the speakers as nTo white’s AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels enter the ringside area.
TH: “And their opponents representing nTo white…AJ STYLES and CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!”
Both men make their way down the ramp and slap the hands of some fans. The fans cheer wildly for the nTo white members as they slide into the ring. Jarrett is outside of the ring and he talks to Starstorm who are standing on the apron. Starstorm enters the ring and both teams are staring down the other in the middle of the ring.
JR: “The war between the two nTo teams are still sending shockwaves through the X-WCW, king. The once dominant faction here in this organization has been split since the kick out of AJ Styles from the nTo red. Tonight ladies and gentlemen, AJ Styles will try to prove that Cyberstrike made a very big mistake of kicking him out of the group.”
RK: “That is, if Starstorm wont beat the hell out of AJ and Daniels.”
The bell rings and Daniels and Vanth start off this match. Both men lock up and Daniels goes for a quick standing switch. He trips Vanth and goes over him for a quick ground headlock. Vanth gets up and starts to deliver some elbow shots to the mid-section of Daniels. Daniels lets go and he is sent to the ropes by Vanth. Vanth goes for a back body drop but Daniels lands behind him and goes for a backdrop. Vanth blocks the backdrop with a hard elbow to the face and takes Daniels down with a snapmare. Vanth locks on a headlock on Chris Daniels to keep him grounded.
JR: “The Japanese crowd seems to be silent here as they just look intently at the in-ring action being displayed by both men inside the ring.”
RK: “The biggest wrestling fans are found here in Japan, JR. They watch intently on the action AND THEN give their reaction. Most fans here prefer the traditional Japanese Strong-style wrestling so I dunno if both teams will deliver it here tonight”
Daniels slowly gets up and gets out of the headlock by putting on an arm wrench on Vanth. Vanth slowly reverses the hold to lock Daniels with an arm wringer. Vanth kicks Daniels twice before letting go. Vanth with the bounce off the ropes takes down Daniels with a shoulder block. Vanth goes for another run, but Daniels grabs him by the boot to trip him. Both men get up at the same time and Daniels delivers a swift punch that takes Vanth staggering back to the corner of nTo white. AJ is tagged and he stays on the apron to hold Vanth. Daniels backs up and charges to hit Vanth with a running backflip kick. The Japanese crowd give a pop on that move as Vanth goes down.
JR: “Vanth is down after that cartwheel kick by Daniels. AJ Styles is in the ring right now and picks up Vanth. What the hell?! Vanth grabs AJ and rolls him up for a pin 1…2..kickout by AJ and both men are up. Vanth gets hit by a hard punch by AJ and AJ continues his assault on Vanth with numerous punches to the head.”
Vanth reverses an Irish whip by AJ and catches him with a clothesline. Vanth is the first one to get up and makes a quick tag to Raven Darkstorm. RD gets into the ring but is met by a dropkick from AJ. RD gets back up and is hit yet again by another AJ Styles dropkick. AJ picks up RD and whips him into the ropes. AJ bounces off the other side of the ring and meets RD in the middle of the ring. AJ catches RD and he goes for a crucifix, which he converts into a DDT.
JR: “AJ Styles just planted Raven Darkstorm with a move that he calls the CLIFFHANGER”
RK: “The ending was kinda like that. Good name for that move, I can tell you that, JR.”
AJ picks him up and whips him to the ropes. RD slides below AJ and takes him down with an inverted DDT. Raven Darkstorm picks up AJ Styles and lights him up with a hard chop across the chest. RD delivers a barrage of blows to AJ before he grabs AJ by the head and slams him face first into the turnbuckle. AJ is backed onto the corner and RD charges at him. Raven connects with a clothesline and then scores a corner bulldog on AJ.
JR: “RD goes for the pin 1….2…NO! AJ gets a shoulder up on the count. RD grabs the leg of AJ and drags him to his corner, but AJ gets up and delivers an enziguri across the head of RD!”
RK: “Such flexibility there by AJ. I think we don’t need to call RVD for future bookings with AJ around.”
AJ gets himself up and he tags out to Daniels. AJ and Daniels whip RD to the ropes. Unbeknownst to them, Vanth pats RD’s back on the rebound. AJ and Daniels score with a double superkick on RD but as the look at the turnbuckle, they see Vanth flying toward them and connecting with a flying crossbody block. Vanth takes both nTo white members down to the mat with him as the crowd cheers for that spectacular move.
JR: “What an impressive move there by Vanth. We all know nTo red are the bad guys here…but the Japanese fans here appreciate that aerial move there by Vanth Dreadstar.”
RK: “I told ya JR…very different crowd here.”
RD rolls out of the ring and AJ is escorted to the corner by the referee as the match continues. Daniels is hit with a hard knee to the gut by Vanth. Vanth connects with a couple of more knees to the sternum before he sends Daniels to the ropes. Vanth goes for a spinning heel kick but Daniels ducks down. Daniels waits for Vanth to turn around before landing a superkick. Daniels’ superkick is blocked and Vanth takes him down with a dragon screw. Vanth applies the starlock on Daniels and Daniels is in pain.
JR: “Vanth Dreadstar has Daniels locked down with that sharpshooter variation he calls the Starlock.”
RK: “He is working on the back and leg area of Daniels. He knows Daniels cant pull off his double springboard moonsault with a bad back or a bad set of legs.”
Daniels struggles to get reach of the ropes. To his dismay, the ropes are too far for his grasp as the submission move is still applied on him. The crowd and AJ are cheering him on as he struggles to crawl his way to the ropes. He finally reaches the ropes and Vanth has to let go of the submission. Vanth picks up Daniels but is surprised with a couple of hard rights to the face. Vanth is sent to the ropes and Daniels takes him down with a flying clothesline. Both men are down in the middle of the ring.
JR: “Which man will get the hot tag from their corner?”
RK: “Real question is, how long will they stay down?”
The question of King gets answered as Vanth gets up and reaches his corner to tag out to RD. Daniels crawls towards his corner and makes the hot tag to AJ Styles. AJ Styles shoots himself from the apron and lands a springboard dropkick on RD. AJ gets up to see Vanth charging at him. AJ leapfrogs over Vanth and then catches him with a back body drop. Vanth rolls to the outside as AJ stalks RD.
JR: “Raven Darkstorm gets to his feet and he is hit by the knee of AJ in the gut. AJ scoops him up and delivers a bodyslam.”
RK: “AJ seems to be pointing at the sky, JR. I think its time for something special.”
AJ Styles goes to the top rope and launches himself into a spinning body splash on RD.
JR: “SPIRAL TAP! He lands his high flying move on RD and he goes for the pin!”
AJ goes for the pin 1…2…NO. The count stops as Jarrett grabs the referee and drags him to the outside. In Ric Flair fashion, Jarrett clocks the referee on the head.
RK: “Someone call naitch, Jarrett just ripped him off yet again!”
JR: “What a cheap shot there by Jarrett to save his team. Inside the ring we see Vanth back into the action and he pummels down on AJ. Daniels in the ring and he grabs Vanth off AJ. Daniels and Vanth are at it with each other as they exchange punches on the ring. Meanwhile we see Jarrett sliding in the ring with a guitar.”
AJ Styles picks up Raven and sets him up for the Styles Clash. However, Jarrett swings the guitar and it hits the back of AJ’s head. The guitar is smashed up and Styles goes to the ground hard. Jarrett uses what remains of the guitar handle and smacks it over the head of Daniels to take him out as well. Jarrett and Vanth throw Daniels to the outside before the get out as well to put a stomp down on him.
JR: “Damn you Jarrett! He did it yet again! He used his guitar to secure a win for nTo red.”
RK: “Not yet JR. The ref might be up, but he is still outside of the ring.”
Inside the ring, we see RD gathering himself up and he picks up the groggy AJ Styles. He hits a DDT on AJ and pins him. The referee is back in the ring and he counts the pin being made.
RK: “1…2…3! Arigato Gozaimashu nTo red!”
TH: “The winners of this match….STARSTORM!!!”
“End of everything” hits as RD’s arm is raised by the referee. Outside of the ring, we see Jarrett and Vanth stop the beat down to go into the ring and celebrate with Raven. All three nTo red members raise each others arms while the Japanese crowd can only boo them. X-WCW goes to a brief commercial break.
We go back from the commercial break to see Terri Hotbody in the middle of the ring.
TH: “Ladies and gentlemen…welcome the members of n-T-o RED!”
“No Chance” by Dope plays through the speakers as the nTo red team enters the ringside area. CS is seen holding a nTo kendo stick and raises it in the air before he and the rest of his gang go down the aisle. The Japanese crowd greet them with a lot of jeers as they head towards the ring. Every member of nTo red, aside from CS, enters the ring. CS is seen on the apron and he slowly raises his arms in the air as the fans continue to boo him and the rest of his group. He gets inside the ring and D-Ex hands him a mic.
CS: “Tokyo, meet the team of the nTo red. Take a good look at these men in the ring RIGHT-NOW. These people who proudly wear the red and black on their bodies, are the past, present and future of this company! Its not because you like them, its because it is true! It is a fact that we are the most dominant force in the X-WCW today! Now I know that D-Extreme here had been defeated by that runt SFM, but we all know one thing and that is…it was just a fluke.”
The crowd boos and chant ‘SFM’ as D-Ex gets the mic.
D-Ex: “Your speaking the truth friend. SciFi Man, no matter what happened in our match, you were lucky. You were lucky to catch me off guard and you were lucky…that I didn’t beat the hell out of you and your partner backstage after the match. I gave you your due, you outsmarted me tonight, you won against X-WCW’s premier wrestler today. But SFM, you and Autobot Jazz better listen and listen good. Cyberstrike and D-Extreme are on top of the tag team ladder here in the X-WCW. These four belts we have are NOT gonna leave soon and go to your laps. So savour your victory SFM, savour your partner’s victory, Jazz…for the next time you face me or the nTo Red…its gonna be a different story.”
D-Ex grins and gives the mic back to CS. The rest of the group (Trinity, Jarrett and Starstorm) applauds D-Ex as the fans boo the nTo.
CS: “Thank you, D-Ex. Now Eamon, you were saved by Final Frontier tonight from a savage beating that you deserved. Better thank them cause it if were not for them, we would have sent your stinking aussie ass driving towards the nearby Tokyo Medical Hospital. Now enough about you and the rest of your friends that I would like to call ‘The X-WCW’s 3 stooges’.”
We see CS grinning as he looks at his members and see them laughing at that comment.
CS: “AJ, you saw what happened tonight. You saw that you got pinned fair and square by my team, Starstorm. Vanth and Raven *looks to Starstorm* I want to tell you guys how fortunate I am to have you two here with my group. You see these two here are the FUTURE of the X-WCW tag team division! So what? Me and D got these belts right now but when the time comes, these guys will be wearing each and every belt related to the moniker ‘tag team champion’ on every federation. It doesn’t matter if its X-WCW, XAW hell…even in the AWF….Starstorm will get the tag team titles in the near future and will be the biggest tag team there will be in their era. But for now, they are wise. Ladies and gentlemen, Raven Darkstorn and Vanth Dreadstar are taken under the wings of the two greatest tag team in the X-WCW of all time.”
JR: “Now CS is just stroking his ego. I don’t think CS and D-Ex are the best tag team here in the X-WCW.”
RK: “Then who are?”
JR: “Well…”
RK: “See? Then they ARE the best! You cant even think of a team that has more dominance than CS and D-Ex!”
CS: “Tonight, Starstorm showed their mastery in the field of tag team wrestling. Thanks to me and D here, we are grooming Starstorm to be the next big thing to the tag team division. Now Jarrett…you have been an asset to this group. Not only do you provide us the veteran guidance, but you provide a drive. You walked down with my young guns here as they fought AJ and Daniels and you guided them to victory. Sure you may not have thought these two the ropes, but you guided them with a win. Trinity, you are the most loyal woman I ever met in my life and for that, I thank you.”
Trinity nods to CS before CS moves on.
CS: “So what is there left for the X-WCW? NOTHING! The best of the best is here in nTo red! Jeff Jarrett, a multi time NWA Champ and a season veteran. Trinity, beauty, brains, brawn, in one package of a woman. Starstorm, the best young tag team here in the X-WCW. D-Extreme is the X-Factor of the group. He has the strength. He has the power and he has the mental toughness that would intimidate anyone in the back. Cane, who is not here, is a dominant wrestler and also a good GM for the X-WCW. And finally, Cyberstrike, the best X-WCW wrestler today. Its not Divebomb or Eamon or better yet…its not even BLASTER. I AM the best there is here in the X-WCW. All these names I mentioned are incorporated into one cohesive group that is the nTo red. So to all those who oppose us like Eamon or Final Frontier or better yet, the nTo white, beware! We will get you one by one. Just look at us…LOOK AT US! There is NO CHANGE IN HELL that you can beat this team.”
CS slowly raises his nTo kendo stick into the air as the fans boo. The rest of the nTo red slowly raise each others arms in the air to follow suit to their leader. “No Chance” hits the speakers as we go to the announce table.
JR: “Confident words by Cyberstrike and the rest of his members. The nTo red have spoke their case here tonight in Tokyo. But will they do exactly what they claim? Will they dominate the X-WCW like the old nTo did? Will they be the dominant nTo team here? We will find that out in our future shows. Meanwhile, lets take you all backstage with Cole Ryan as he talks with Reaper.”
RK: “Reaper is our current TV Champ, JR. He retained his title against Stryker last time.”
JR: “He did, King. Tonight, he will face Stryker and Rage for the title.”
RK: “I guess its gonna be one hell of a match for our TV Champ.”
Backstage
We see Cole Ryan standing beside the X-WCW TV Champ, Reaper.
CR: “We are here backstage with Reaper. Reaper, tonight you will be defending your title against 2 men in a triple threat match. Tonight, not only will you face Flash Stryker again, but R.E. Rage has been added into the mix. What do you think are your chances for winning in this contest?”
We see the Reaper looking down on the ground, silent. He slowly tilts his head and grabs the mic from Cole Ryan.
R: “Chances? There are no chances for me to win this thing Cole. Tonight, I WILL win it! Tonight, Flash, I will finish off what I will do to you. If I haven’t sent you back to the injured list last time, I will tonight! On Warzone, I should have just finished you off so you cant get a shot at this title again. I don’t like people who try to chase me or chase my title. Flash, you will feel my wrath tonight. Rage, we have been at odds with each other since the day I met you. Tonight, it will not be different. Your arrogance will once again fall down to the might of the Reaper. So Rage….Stryker…get ready. Tonight, I shall deliver you both into eternal damnation….ONE..BY…ONE!”
We go back to ringside to start off the match.
X-WCW TV Championship
Triple Threat Match
Reaper© vs R.E. Rage vs Styker
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Nitro! Tonight we will bring to you a special main event featuring 3 of X-WCW’s finest squaring off in the ring. Its going to be a triple threat match for the X-WCW Television Title.”
RK: “It is truly special, JR. Tonight marks the return of R.E. Rage!!! He is one of my favorite wrestlers here in the X-WCW. Well…next to Cyberstrike of course.”
JR: “Your ass kissing of the X-WCW administration has no ends doesn’t it, King?”
RK: “Ah what the hell do you know?!”
TH: “The following match is a triple threat match for the X-WCW TV Title! Introducing first….”
“I…AM…IT!”
The lights go out for a while before the stage pyros blaze up.
“BREAK!”
“Tear Away” plays as the pyros are still blazing like it’s the entrance of Harleem Heat. R.E. Rage enters on stage and raises his arms into the air while seen with a big grin on his face.
TH: “….R.E RAGE!!!”
He struts his way down the aisle as the crowd gives him a loud chorus of boos. The lights go back up and the pyro dies down as R.E. Rage makes his way inside the ring. He goes to the top rope and makes a gesture that he will be the next champ. He jumps down from the top rope and waits for his opponent.
RK: “He is back ladies and gentlemen. R.E. Rage has returned to the X-WCW.”
JR: “If I recall, this is Rage’s first show since that time he tagged with Wrecka during our tag team throwdown special.”
“Speed Demon” hits and out comes Flash Stryker. The Japanese crowd are on their feet as they cheer for the fan favorite, Flash Stryker.
TH: “From Winnipeg, FLASH STRYKER!!!”
Flash points at the ring while crouching and he quickly dashes down the ramp. The crowd continues to cheer him along as he slides into the ring. He stops in the middle of the ring and quickly gets up. He goes to the ropes and climbs on it. He is on the second ropes as he faces the crowd and pats himself on the chest and points to the crowd with a big smile. He goes to the corner and both Rage and Stryker eye each other.
JR: “These two men have a history with each other, King.”
RK: “Yeah I know that JR. Infact…ALL THREE men who are involved in this match are or were X-WCW TV Champions in their stay here in the X-WCW. So we can sort of dub this match ‘the match of the TV champions’…or something like that.”
“poison” by Prodigy blares through the PA Systems and out comes the TV Champion, Reaper.
TH: “He is the X-WCW Television Champion….REAPER!!!”
The crowd gives a very mixed reaction as Reaper makes his way down the aisle. He enters the ring and looks at the two men one by one. He raises his TV Title in the air before handing it to the referee. All three men go to the center of the ring as the referee holds the Title in the air. The referee gives the title belt to the time keeper.
JR: “The competitors are now inside the ring, King. This match is about to kick off.”
RK: “There are a whole lot of tension in that ring right now, JR.”
The bell rings and all three men wait for one of them to strike. Rage quickly looks as if he will be the first to strike, but he backs away and slides to the outside of the ring. The crowd boos Rage as he has a big smile on his face and looks at the remaining two men inside the ring.
JR: “Look King, Rage is scared!”
RK: “I don’t think so, JR. I think this kid has something in plan here.”
JR: “What is it then King? Will he hide somewhere safe until its ok to get out?”
Reaper and Flash Stryker look at Rage for a while until Reaper goes for a clothesline. F-S ducks the clothesline attempt and spins Reaper around for a hard kick to the gut. He sends Reaper into the ropes and takes him down with a hiptoss. Reaper goes back up yet again and F-S delivers yet another hiptoss to take him down. Reaper is picked up by F-S and gets a couple of hard chops to the chest. Reaper fights back with a face rake on Stryker and grabs him from behind.
JR: “Reaper has Stryker in his grasps and takes him down with a backdrop. Reaper waits for F-S to get on his feet and hits one hard right hand to the face of his opponent. Outside the ring, Rage just looks on with a smile on his face.”
RK: “Any minute now, JR. Any minute now…Rage will get in that ring and win this thing!”
Rage gets into the ring as Reaper starts to deliver some shoulder thrusts to the midsection. Reaper iris whips F-S into the direction of Rage but F-S baseball slides through the legs of R.E. Rage. Rage looks under him to see Stryker slip past him before he looks straight to see Reaper with an incoming clothesline. The clothesline connects on Rage and he goes down hard. Flash Stryker spins Reaper around and hits a hard kick to the gut.
JR: “Flash Stryker bounces off the ropes and catches Reaper with a spinning neckbreaker.”
RK: “Stryker seems to be using his speed to his advantage here, JR and I don’t blame him.”
Rage gets to his feet and hits a hard club to the back of F-S. F-S is on his knees as Rage slaps him on the head for a couple of times before picking him up. He sends F-S to the ropes and catches him with a hiptoss…that Stryker blocks and reverses it with a hiptoss of his own. Rage gets up only to get caught with a dropkick to the face by Flash Stryker. Reaper meanwhile, is resting at the corner.
JR: “Rage is down after that dropkick by Flash Stryker and it looks like the speed demon is going towards Reaper. Flash runs towards Reaper at the post but Stryker slides to the outside instead. Stryker pulls the leg of Reaper inside the ring and trips his larger opponent.”
RK: “I’m actually enjoying what Flash is doing right now, JR. He is actually using the ring to his advantage. Maybe there IS hope for him to win this match.”
Rage delivers a basement dropkick to the face of Reaper who was slowly getting to his feet. With Reaper rolling to the outside after the hit, Rage turns around to taunt at the crowd. Stryker gets back into the ring and grabs Rage for a schoolboy pin.
JR: “Stryker with a schoolboy 1…2...KICKOUT. Rage gets himself out of the pin and Stryker takes Rage down with an armdrag. Flash Stryker locks that arm scissors on R.E. Rage while Reaper slides to the ring with a chair.”
RK: “I think someone pissed Reaper off, JR.”
Reaper wants to use the chair, but the referee would not let the TV Champ get past him and get to the other competitors. Meanwhile, Flash Stryker lets go of the hold and tries to send Rage to the ropes. Rage blocks it and sends Stryker accidentally into the back of the referee. The referee gets bumped and goes through the ropes.
JR: “The referee just got knocked to the outside by Flash Stryker. Inside the ring, Reaper just blasted Rage with that chair shot.”
RK: “That’s the wonders a chair could do for you while the ref is out, JR. It can be your best friend in there. Uh oh..better watch out there Flash.”
F-S slowly gets to his feet after the collision with the referee. Reaper swings the chair at F-S, but F-S ducks down to avoid it. Stryker kicks Reaper to the gut and delivers a dropkick across the chair, making it hit the forehead of Reaper.
JR: “Stryker just pulled off a van dominator! Reaper lets go of the chair and he slowly goes down on the mat. Outside the ring, the referee is finally conscious and makes his way into the ring. Rage is back up again and he greets F-S with a hard forearm to the face.”
We see Reaper rolling to the outside to recover. Rage delivers a couple of those forearms before he sends F-S into the ropes. Rage catches him with a back body drop, but F-S lands behind Rage. Flash Stryker spins Rage around and sends him to the corner. There he charges at him with a spinning heel kick to the face of R.E. Rage.
JR: “Stryker sets Rage on the top turnbuckle and I think this match will be all over, King.”
Flash Stryker hooks both of Rage’s arm while he is standing on the second turnbuckle. Flash Stryker sends Rage to the mat with the Drag Strip. The ring shook hard after that finisher was hit by F-S. Flash Stryker pins Rage..1….2….3! The bell rings and Flash Stryker is the new champion.
TH: “The winner and new X-WCW Television Champion…FLASH STRYKER!”
“Speed Demon” plays as the referee hands Stryker the belt. Outside the ring, Reaper is finally up and is upset of the outcome of the match. He doesn’t say a word as he just makes his way to the backstage area.
JR: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Flash Stryker is the new X-WCW Television Champion! He overcame the odds tonight.”
RK: “Question is, will Flash keep that title of his long enough? Or will Reaper or Rage get it sooner or later?”
Inside the ring, we see Flash Stryker celebrating his win as the Tokyo crowd cheers him on. X-WCW goes off-air as Flash raises his TV title high.
The black and white footage shows Cole Ryan with Divebomb
CR: "Tonight, Cane revealed the tournament brackets. Your name is on the top of the list, meaning your match will be up next here on Warzone. But the thing is, Cyberstrike will be your opponent. Anything you want to say to your opponent tonight for your match?"
DB: “Strike, you cost me my titles. And there is nothing you or your nTo teammates armed with all the kendo sticks you can manage to scrounge up can do to stop me from walking out of that match victorious. But if for some unknown reason you do manage to win, then before the night is out I will leave you and your rag tag team bloodied and beaten and on the losing end of your nTo war.”
As Divebomb speaks, we are shown the footage of Cyberstrike attacking both Eamon X and Divebomb in the ring during the X-WCW UW Title match.
CR: " With the names like Eamon X, D-Extreme, Judge Death and even your former GPA team mate Tempest do you think you have any chances of winning in the LOTR tournament?"
We see the four X-WCW superstars in their respective clips as Cole Ryan mentions them in the background before we go to another footage.
DB: “I got to the top of this fed by winning a match against all the top names in this fed. No matter who I am up against I will win and I will get back what is rightfully mine, even if that means getting a fair fight in against Eamon X or fighting that fool D-Extreme or having to beat the hell out of the real turncoat Tempest. This is my tournament and in The End I will walk out victorious.”
While D-Bomb speaks, we see the following clips
- Divebomb hitting a belly to back suplex on Eamon
- D-Extreme getting hit with The End inside a steel cage
- Divebomb hitting Tempest with a clothesline
The footage fades we go to a full black screen
Later that night…
Cyberstrike sets D-Bomb for the Breakdown but before he could connect, he stops as the stage pyros are set off. “Break and Enter” plays through the PA Systems and Cyberstrike lets go of Divebomb. Cyberstrike looks at the stage and tries to search for Eamon. Eamon X is nowhere to be found on stage while CS is holding on the top rope shouting for Eamon to come out and fight him. While this is happening, the crowd are on their feet in anticipation for their countrymen’s entrance to the ringside.
JR: “Eamon’s music has hit the arena but…Eamon is nowhere in sight!”
Both CS and the crowd go into disappointment as the music cuts and Eamon is nowhere to be found. Inside the ring, CS turns around only to get a hard shot to the gut by DB. Divebomb lines him up for THE END and it hits.
JR: “THE END! THE END!!! Cyberstrike is down and Divebomb goes for the pin.”
The referee counts the pin 1…2…3. The bell rings as Divebomb gets up and gets his hand raised by the referee.
TH: “The winner by pinfall…DIVEBOMB!”
The footage fades as we fade into the confrontation of Eamon X and Cyberstrike.
CS: “Eamon, I know this is Australia and all…but you know that you got a lot of explaining to do. Infact, you have a LOT of explaining to do.”
EX: “Oh and what kind of explanations do I need to tell you Cyberstrike? Is it about my music hitting off the speakers during your match? If it is, then just complain or…hell…just FIRE the damn technician. Its not my fault if they mistakenly play it now right?”
CS: “Oh so it’s the technician’s fault? Its so easy for you to get away with this huh? Well whether you did plan it or not, its gonna be your loss, kid. You talk about people screwing you and not look at yourself? It aint the X-WCW that screws you up…its YOU who screws the X-WCW up!”
EX: “I don’t know what your talking about Strike, cause I can only hear 10,000 plus of my countrymen saying that YOU SUCK! Oh and Cyberstrike, if I wanted to get revenge from what you did at Nitro, I would have gotten to the ring and handed it myself. You know me, I don’t back down from any challenge. So Cyberstrike, your out of the title tournament, but I’m not. Now how about you…get over it?”
Eamon turns around and drops the mic. Before he gets out of the ring, he gets blasted by the kendostick on the back of his head. The crowd boos heavily as Cyberstrike starts to stomp down on Eamon. Cyberstrike picks up Eamon and goes for the Breakdown, but Eamon X gets out of it and sends CS to the ropes. Eamon catches CS and delivers the Xplosion on him.
The footage ends and we go to the usual X-WCW Nitro intro as its new theme song ‘killing in the name of’ plays through the background as the video package shows the various X-WCW Superstars. The opening video ends and we are immediately sent to the ringside area where thousands of people are on their feet as the stage pyros start to explode. We go to the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome to X-WCW Nitro! I’m James Russell and alongside me as always is Randal King. We are live from the Tokyo Egg dome! 2 years have past here King after the last time the X-WCW made its live show here in 2003.”
RK: “The Tokyo Eggdome has been a memorable place in the history books of the X-WCW. It was here where D-Extreme got his 2nd X-WCW World Title win as he defeated Wolfang for both the Heavyweight and US title belts. This was also the venue where Vaccaro tried to buy out the X-WCW from Cyberstrike.”
JR: “And you know how that ended up huh, King?”
RK: “Yeah, the contract got torn up in pieces. Lots of memories here JR, and I’m glad that the 2005 X-Tour made a stop here on our road to Starrcade Xtreme”
LotR II First Round Match
Autobot Jazz vs Eamon X
“Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy” hits, and Autobot Jazz makes his entrance to a warm crowd response.
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring First Round Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Melbourne, Florida, he is one half of The Final Frontier – AUTOBOT JAZZ!”
The cheering continues as Autobot Jazz makes his way to the ring.
Then the lights go off, and “Break & Enter” hits. Once the pyro explodes and the lights return, Eamon X appears on stage, and he is greeted by an even louder cheer!
JR: “He’s not as outspoken as he was, Randal, but the fans still love Eamon X!”
RK: “I don’t love him, James, because I’m straight!”
JR: “And you think he’s not?”
RK: “I didn’t say that!”
TH: “And his opponent: a native of Sydney, Australia, he is The Australian Badass – EAMON X!”
The cheering continues as Eamon X makes his way to the ring and enters it. Once he does, he and AJ shake hands, then the bell rings to start the match.
Both men tie up, but EX gains the strength advantage after a few seconds, throwing AJ right to the mat. But instead of going for a hold, EX allows AJ to get up and tie up with him again. However, the second tie up yields an identical result, but once again, EX allows AJ to rise.
Both men go for one more tie up, but this time, AJ breaks it with three knee lifts to EX’s midsection. With EX slightly stunned by this, AJ takes the initiative and whips EX into the front ropes. On the rebound, EX goes for a running clothesline, but AJ ducks it, and after EX rebounds off the back ropes, AJ catches him and hits a stiff powerslam. AJ goes for a quick pinfall.
RK: “1…. NO!”
JR: “A VERY fast kick out there!”
EX gets up, only for AJ to renew his attack. He grabs EX by his arm, taking him down with a short arm clothesline, and once EX is down, AJ runs to the right ropes, launching himself onto the middle rope and jumping into an Asai moonsault. However, it misses its intended target: EX rolls out of the way at the last moment, causing him to land facefirst in the middle of the ring.
EX stands, and waits for AJ to get to his feet. While AJ is bent over, EX grabs him in a front facelock predicament, lifting him up and hitting a thunderous Jackhammer! He goes for a pinfall of his own.
RK: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “Autobot Jazz is quite a sturdy opponent: not many people would kick out of that!”
EX is up first, and he allows AJ to stand once more. As soon as AJ is up, EX whips him into the left ropes, and on the rebound, he hits AJ with a knee to the groin. After this, EX puts AJ in a pump handle slam position, but AJ manages to escape it, landing behind EX and nailing him with a hard reverse DDT! AJ goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. LATE!”
JR: “It takes much more than that to keep a proven champion like Eamon X down!”
RK: “Proven my ass! He only had the Ultimate World Title for 3 matches!”
JR: “Stop it.”
EX gets up, and AJ attempts to whip EX into the back ropes, but EX reverses it. Once AJ rebounds, EX counters with a boot to the face, knocking AJ to the mat quickly.
EX waits for him to stand again, and immediately gets behind AJ, locking him in the pump handle position again. Though this time, AJ does not escape: EX hits one of his trademark moves – the X-Breaker! EX goes for another pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. HE’S UP!”
RK: “These guys are such spot monkeys, don’t you think?”
JR: “Well, they’re giving it their all! It’s a hard-hitting match – just the way we like it!”
RK: “Come on, guys! I want to eat now!”
AJ gets up, but EX quickly whips him into the right rear corner, following it up with a hard corner splash! And with AJ stunned, EX climbs to the middle rope, trapping AJ in the corner.
The crowd counts the punches – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and once he’s done, EX backs off, bringing AJ out of the corner and hitting a swinging neckbreaker on him! He goes for another pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Well, Autobot Jazz is certainly proving his worth as a singles competitor tonight!”
JR: “What are you suggesting?”
RK: “Perhaps he should ditch Sci Fi Man and go it alone!”
JR: “I should’ve known you’d say that! After all, you’ve dumped more partners than Liz Taylor in your career, haven’t you?”
RK: “OK, you’ve got me there!”
EX does not wait for AJ to rise this time. Instead, he turns the downed AJ on his stomach and locks him in the Lockdown!
JR: “This could be it! Eamon X will go through if Autobot Jazz taps out!”
RK: “Though Autobot Jazz doesn’t look like tapping out any time soon! And they’re WAY too close to the ropes!”
Sure enough, EX has AJ too close to the right ropes, and after about 30 seconds, AJ manages to turn his legs toward them. Eventually, AJ manages to get his left foot on the bottom rope, forcing EX to break the hold.
EX allows AJ to stand, whipping him into the left ropes. On the rebound, AJ tries to clothesline EX, but he ducks it. And on the second rebound, EX catches AJ, hitting an X-Blast on him!
Once AJ is down, EX signals for the X-Plosion, prompting a HUGE cheer from the fans in attendance!
JR: “THIS IS IT! He’s going for his most powerful finishing move!”
RK: “Yeah, who couldn’t see THIS coming?”
EX brings the tired AJ to his feet, placing him into the headscissor position and hitting the X-Plosion on him!
JR: “X-PLOSION! X-PLOSION! X-PLOSION!”
RK: “Let’s just count the pinfall, shall we? 1…. 2…. 3! Eamon X advances!”
JR: “Curb your enthusiasm there, Randal!”
RK: “I AM, James!”
EX stands up, raising his fist in victory.
TH: “Here’s your winner – EAMON X!”
But as he faces the front of the ring, Cyberstrike and D-Extreme – armed with kendo sticks – make their way through the audience behind him. And by the time EX turns around, it’s too late: Cyberstrike and D-Extreme hit the ring, hitting EX on both sides of his face several times with their kendo sticks.
JR: “Oh someone PLEASE stop this cheap assault by our tag team champs!”
With EX smarting from the impact, both members of nTo Red turn their attention to the fallen Autobot Jazz, beating him down without mercy. But after a few moments, Sci Fi Man makes his way to the ring, sporting two steel chairs. EX, having recovered quickly from the kendo stick shots sees him coming. Upon reaching the ring, SFM throws one of the chairs to EX, and they wait for the nTo Red members to turn and face them. The nTo Red members make a hasty retreat, and both EX and SFM see to AJ in the ring.
JR: “Cyberstrike and D-Extreme flees the ring before Eamon and SFM could make a comeback with those steel chair. What a bunch of cowards those guys are.”
RK: “Cowards? nTo red are just using their heads and are wise enough to leave before they get hit.”
JR: “The nTo Red have Eamon X – and anyone around him – firmly in their sights!”
RK: “So what else is new? We’ll be right back.”
Backstage
We go backstage where we see nTo white, along with their leader, AJ Styles having an interview with Cole Ryan.
CR: “We are here backstage with AJ Styles and the rest of the nTo white group. AJ, on Warzone, nTo white did a 3 on one against Jarrett until Starstorm had to help him out to even out the brawl. Tonight, it seems like there will be a tag team match featuring you and Daniels against Starstorm. Now last week, we know you and Daniels were absent because of travel problems..so how does it feel to be in action tonight?”
AJ: “How does it feel Cole? Ya don’t have to ask me that question. Ah feel great! Tonight, the nTo white will grace into the ringside inside one of the most prestigious stadiums of the world, THE TOKYO EGGDOME! *cheap pop* Tonight, me and Daniels will kick some Starstorm ass! That’s all ah got to say Cole.”
CR: “Nice to hear that. Now how about you Powermaster? Tonight, you will be facing one of the newest guys here in the X-WCW, Grant Snell. Any thoughts on this kid?”
PMP: “Cole, that kid has the look, he has the ability to go far in the X-WCW. That’s what I think about him. But tonight, he wished he never had to take me on in this tournament. Grant, you came into a match where you should have backed out prior to the night it will happen. I am Powermaster Prime, boy. Do you have any idea…ANY IDEA AT ALL that your facing one of the most tenacious and most dangerous man here in the X-WCW today?! NO! So tonight, your gonna see something that I shown every wrestler I faced into that squares circle, and that’s my brute power. Tonight, you will find out why I AM THE POWER!”
CR: “Thank you for your time guys. Back to you JR.”
We go back to ringside where we pan over to the announce table.
JR: “nTo white are all here and accounted for, King. That means only one thing for Cyberstrike and nTo red and that’s ‘TROUBLE’!”
RK: “I think it’s the other way around, JR. Tonight, I think Starstorm will win one for nTo red and make nTo white and AJ Styles lose face here at Tokyo.”
LotR II First Round Match
Ryan X vs The Xterminator
“American Idiot” hits, and Ryan X comes out on stage to a warm reception, despite the pro-Canada attitude he has.
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring First Round Match, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Toronto, Ontario, Canada – RYAN X!”
Ryan X makes his way to the ring and enters it.
A moment later, “Detroit Rock City” hits, and The Xterminator makes his way out onto the stage to a loud chorus of boos.
TH: “And his opponent: from HellHole City, USA – THE XTERMINATOR!”
The fans in attendance continue to boo The Xterminator as he approaches the ring.
Once both men are in the ring, the bell rings to start the match. Both combatants stalk each other around the ring for about 20 seconds before finally tying up in the middle.
JR: “Both men have tied up on each other. It seems to be a battle for power here at the start of this lock up, King.”
Neither opponent is able to gain the strength advantage, so Xterminator breaks free of the tie up by kneeing Ryan in the groin. This low blow goes unseen by the referee, and Xterminator capitalises on this by whipping Ryan into the front ropes. On Ryan’s rebound, Xterminator knocks him to the mat with a stiff back elbow shot.
While Ryan is down, Xterminator runs to the right ropes, rebounding and hitting Ryan with a falling headbutt! Xterminator goes for the first pin attempt.
RK: “1…. NO!”
JR: “Too early to finish this one! And I’m sure these big men have plenty more left in them!”
Ryan gets up quickly, and when Xterminator attempts to whip him again, Ryan reverses it, sending Xterminator into the back ropes and nailing him with a hard tiltawhirl backbreaker on the rebound!
JR: “No matter how big or tough you are, that’s got to hurt!”
RK: “But Ryan X isn’t going for a pin just yet!”
Sure enough, Ryan moves toward Xterminator’s legs, turning him over and locking him in an STF!
JR: “My God! He could have the match in the bag with this hold!”
RK: “Though I strongly doubt that The Xterminator’s going to submit that easily!”
Despite the growing pain in his back, Xterminator shows no sign of submitting. After about 30 seconds, Xterminator starts to claw his way toward the right ring ropes. Slowly but surely, Xterminator reaches the bottom rope, breaking Ryan’s hold. Undaunted by this, Ryan allows Xterminator to get up, only to place him into a backslide pinning predicament.
JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “The Xterminator would never live it down if he lost the match like that!”
Xterminator gets right up, and once Ryan stands, Xterminator unleashes a flurry of punches on him. He then whips Ryan into the front left corner, following it up with a hard running butt bump!
Xterminator then signals for another running butt bump, and executes the move on the winded Ryan. However, by the time he moves to hit a third bump, Ryan has caught his breath. Xterminator charges again, but Ryan drops to his knees and rolls out of the way, causing Xterminator to hit the turnbuckles hard. Ryan runs behind Xterminator, locking his waist and nailing him with a stiff German suplex. But instead of releasing Xterminator, Ryan executes two more German suplexes on him!
JR: “WOW! Three textbook German suplexes!”
RK: “Say what you will about Cyberstrike, but he’s unearthed a great talent in Ryan X! Perhaps he’ll go to the nTo Red and get rid of that pesky Eamon X!”
JR: “You wish!”
RK: “Yeah, I do!”
Xterminator is smarting from the impact, but he still manages to get up. But Ryan is ready for him: he delivers a stiff Enziguri kick to Xterminator’s face, but oddly enough, Xterminator doesn’t go down. Ryan then tries several punches, but Xterminator simply shrugs them off!
JR: “Don’t tell me Xterminator’s ‘hulking up’!”
RK: “He might well be!”
Xterminator continues to shrug off Ryan’s repeated blows, until finally, he’s had enough. Xterminator blocks Ryan’s last punch, and with a powerful clothesline, Xterminator sends Ryan crashing to the mat! Xterminator then mounts the front right turnbuckles, and he jumps into a bionic elbow, but Ryan rolls out of the way at the last possible moment, causing Xterminator to hit his left elbow on the mat awkwardly.
Ryan gets right up, and as soon as Xterminator does the same, Ryan grabs him by the left arm, locking it in a tight hammerlock!
JR: “This kid’s good, Randal! That’s a VERY good, yet very simple, way to stop an opponent’s momentum!”
RK: “So much for the ‘hulking up’ idea, James!”
Xterminator is in a torrent of pain, but before long, Ryan releases the hold. This reprieve for Xterminator, though, is VERY short lived: Ryan grabs Xterminator by his left arm once more, lifting him up into a fireman’s carry position and hitting one of his signature moves – The X-Drive – on Xterminator!
But Ryan does not go for the final pinfall. Instead, he grabs the downed Xterminator by his legs, locking him in his modified Sharpshooter – The Canadian Crippler – for a submission attempt.
Ryan’s ring positioning is absolutely perfect: try as he might, Xterminator cannot escape, and after about 40 seconds, Xterminator – almost unconscious from the pain – taps out. The bell rings to end the match.
RK: “What a finish!”
JR: “This kid Ryan X has got a big future in this business, if this match-up is any indication!”
TH: “Here’s your winner – RYAN X!”
The crowd cheers his hard fought victory.
RK: “So only a couple of spots in the next round of the Lord of the Ring Tournament need to be filled!”
JR: “And those matches are still to come, so stay with us!”
LotR II First Round Match
Grant Snell vs Powermaster
“Numb” hits, and Grant Snell makes his entrance to a solid face pop.
TH: “The following is another Lord of the Ring First Round Match, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Bangkok, Thailand – GRANT SNELL!”
The cheering continues as Grant Snell approaches the ring.
As soon as he enters it, “Wolfpac” hits, and Powermaster – in full nTo white attire – comes out on stage to a mixed reaction
TH: “And his opponent: from parts unknown, and representing nTo white – POWERMASTER!”
PM makes his way to the ring. He enters it, then the bell rings to commence the match.
JR: “As good as Grant Snell is, he’ll need to be at his very best to beat the barbarous behemoth known as Powermaster!”
RK: “Otherwise this could become the mismatch of the century!”
PM and Snell tie up in the middle of the ring, but PM throws Snell to the mat with authority! Snell gets back up, tying up with his larger opponent once more, but this only yields the same result.
Snell rises again, but PM breaks this tie up differently: he picks Snell up over his head, walking to the left ring ropes (which face the stage, naturally) and Gorilla press slamming Snell right out of the ring!
RK: “So much for your new golden boy, James!”
JR: “You might be right, Randal: Snell will NEVER beat Powermaster with power, so he’ll have to use his skill!”
By this time, Snell is hurting on the floor. PM follows this up by mounting the front left turnbuckles, and he launches into a big splash! However, Snell manages to lift his knees at the last moment, knocking the wind out of the flying PM!
PM rolls over on the floor in pain, and Snell gets to his feet. As the referee begins the mandatory 10 count, Snell grabs PM by his right leg, then he turns him over and locks him in a Ken Shamrock-style ankle lock!
JR: “NOW Grant Snell’s got the right idea!”
RK: “Yeah, but he’s in the wrong position! This is NOT a Falls Count Anywhere match, you know!”
JR: “I think he realises that, but he just wants to wear the big man down any way he can!”
RK: “Meanwhile, the referee’s counted to 4! Get back in that ring, guys!”
The referee counts to 5. Hearing this, Snell releases the hold and walks back to the ring, stopping the count. PM is a little slower to return, on account of the damage inflicted on his right ankle.
Once both men are back in the ring, the battle continues. Snell attempts to whip PM into the right ropes, but PM reverses the whip, knocking Snell to the mat with a left-footed boot to the face.
JR: “A very, VERY smart move by Powermaster there: he wants to protect that aching ankle!”
RK: “He’s a smart guy on the mat, and you have to admire that! I, however don’t like the fact he is a turncoat to CS!”
PM rebounds off the back ropes, hitting the fallen Snell with a hard elbow drop right to the throat! PM goes for the first pinfall attempt of the match.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Your boy’s got some fuel left in the tank – but how much?”
Snell gets up, but as soon as he does, PM goes on the attack again. PM whips Snell into the back right corner, then he gives him several hip-and-shoulder tackles. Snell is stunned, so PM backs up, sizing up his opponent with a crotch chop (a la Kevin Nash) and charging at him with a stiff back elbow. The thunderous impact brings Snell to his knees and to the mat, and with Snell down again, PM gives a Wolfpac sign.
RK: “This is it! He wants to finish Snell off!”
JR: “It looks like he wants to do it sooner rather than later!”
PM keeps his right hand in the air for a chokeslam, and he waits for Snell to get up. As soon as Snell is up and facing PM, PM slaps his hand on Snell’s throat. Despite Snell’s attempts to break out of it, PM kicks Snell in the gut, enabling him to execute the chokeslam!
Although Snell ends up close to the left ropes, PM goes for the pinfall anyway.
RK: “1…. 2…. Snell gets his foot on the rope!”
JR: “What a stroke of luck for this newcomer! There may be some life in this match-up yet!”
PM stands, and he allows Snell to stand as well. PM whips Snell into the back ropes, but in a surprise move, Snell places PM in a crucifix pinning predicament on the rebound!
JR: “1…. 2…. Powermaster rolls out of it!”
RK: “Snell might be getting his second wind now, but Powermaster won’t give this match up without a fight!”
Both men get up, but Snell is able to strike first: he bounces off the back ropes and takes PM down with a hard spinning heel kick to PM’s face.
As PM is on the mat recovering from this, Snell gets up and reverses into the back left corner in preparation for a spear. Once PM is on his feet, Snell launches into the spear attempt, but PM is not even budged by it. In fact, he catches Snell, stopping him dead in his tracks. With Snell in an almost completely helpless position, PM places Snell’s head between his legs and hits a VERY rough powerbomb on the smaller man. PM goes for the final pin attempt.
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! Powermaster WINS!”
JR: “It appears that PMP’s prediction was right, King. He dominated Grant Snell from start to finish of this match.”
The triumphant PM gets up, raising his hand in another Wolfpac gesture.
TH: “Here’s your winner – POWERMASTER!”
The fans give him a light cheer as he leaves the ring.
JR: “That was one good LOTR first round match. Up next, we will have yet ANOTHER LOTR match. This time its gonna be a member of nTo RED instead of White.”
RK: “Damn right, JR. D-Ex vs SFM is up next!”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen as we said earlier, the X-WCW is continuing the LotR tournament right here in the Tokyo Egg Dome. The winner of this match will not only go to the main event of Starrcade, but he will bring with him the UW championship title.”
RK: “Damn straight JR! So it means only one thing, Blaster can slack off all he wants since he can just sit and wait for his opponent.”
“Imperium” by Machinehead plays through the speakers and out comes Blaster. The Tokyo fans give him a warm ovation as he makes his way down to the aisle and slap some hands. He slides into the ring and climbs to the turnbuckle. He poses for the fans on the top turnbuckle for a while before he goes down and gets the microphone.
Blaster: “Its nice to see that we are back here at Tokyo. I mean, it sure was a blast for me and the rest of the X-WCW stars to explore this great city of Japan. 2 Years ago, this was the place where the X-WCW World Title changed hands two times. One was during the epic encounter of Cyberstrike and Wolfang and then D-Extreme and Wolfang. Now tonight, I may not be wrestling, but on Starrcade: Xtreme, make no doubt that the Blast Man is going to win the coveted X-WCW UW Title!”
The fans cheer.
Blaster: “Simply put it, it’s the fans who backed me up on that win at Royal Bash. You guys are the ones responsible for making me rise to the top. And on X-WCW Starrcade, I will promise you and I will promise each and every fan that I have that I will be the next X-WCW UW Champ! No one can stop me. I don’t care who wins in this tournament. I don’t care if Eamon wins it. I don’t care if D-Extreme wins it. I don’t care if Jarrett wins it. HECK…I don’t care if Divebomb wins it and gets his title bac-”
Blaster gets cut off as “Warriors of the world united” hits the speakers. The cheers turn into boos as Divebomb makes his way down the ramp. He gets in the ring and he just stares a hole through Blaster. Blaster shakes his head and starts to speak again.
Blaster: “Before I was so rudely interrupted, I said I DON’T CARE if Divebomb wins it and gets his title back. Divebomb, I am glad that you’re here to hear this in person. You were just lucky that you won that UW title. Admit it, Cane helped you win that title in the first pl-”
Divebomb snatches the mic from Blaster and glares before he speaks.
DB: “You know what Blaster, I am sick and tired of people saying that. Time and time again I prove that I can win matches without any help. Yet people like YOU, people like Eamon, people who want to give excuses…can only say that I can only win the big matches with help. You people ramble on that I did not deserve to win it that night. Let me tell you something Blaster, how does it feel when you lose your title without fault and when you were about to finish your opponent off? How does it feel to win a match where you clearly will win, yet, someone will help you anyway? How does it feel when you try to prove something and the unexpected happen? Well…you got any answers for that boy?”
Blaster just stays silent as Divebomb continues.
DB: “Exactly…you have NO IDEA of how I feel. You have NO IDEA how it feels to let someone steal your thunder. You don’t know how it feels to have someone take something so precious away from you without any good reason. So you say I’m lucky? Think again! Its easy for you to say that cause you have a very comfortable spot already where you can just sit down and face the winner of the tournament. What about me? I will fight round per round like its my most crucial match just to win my belt back. Wanna prove that no one can stop you? Prove it! I sure can prove that I am unstoppable when I win this tournament and take back what is mine. So when I win the tourney and get my title back, be sure its still gonna be you and me. Its YOU and ME, Blaster. Don’t expect anyone less than me. Book it, sign it…BRING IT.”
Divebomb drops the mic and both men go to a heated stare down as the crowd cheers wildly. Blaster backs up and he picks up the mic.
Blaster: “Don’t worry D-Bomb, I’ll bring it, I’ll prove it…and when you are the one I will face….that UW belt..I’LL WIN IT.”
Divebomb backs up and slides to the outside of the ring. He backs up the ramp and looks at the ring. He mutters, ‘we’ll see’ to Blaster who is still in the ring.
JR: “What a heated confrontation there by Divebomb and Blaster.”
RK: “Divebomb makes a good point, JR. I would be pissed if someone would end my match in a DQ when I already have him with my piledriver. Its going to be interesting IF they will be the two men who will wrestle at the Starrcade main event.”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
LotR II First Round Match
D-Extreme vs SciFi Man
TH: “The following match is a Lord of the Ring first round match and it is scheduled for one fall”
“Loose Yourself” by Eminem plays in the background as SFM enters the stage.
TH: “Introducing first from Seattle, Washington…SCIFI MAN!!!”
The crowd cheers as SFM makes his way down the aisle and slaps some hands with the fans. He slides into the ring and waits for his opponent.
JR: “Its another LotR first round match, King and I think this is gonna be one hell of a bout. But there is no doubt in everyone’s mind that SciFi Man is the underdog here in this fight as he takes on D-Extreme.”
RK: “Underdog is an understatement, JR. SFM is gonna be facing one of the most established wrestlers here in the X-WCW. D-Extreme is the first X-WCW Heavyweight Champion here and what did SFM achieved aside from a tag team title here in the X-WCW? NOTHING. Tonight, I think SFM should do his best and try to get an upset here…yeah…even though it seems impossible.”
“N…T…O!”
The red and black lights strobe into ringside as “X Gonna give it to ya” plays through the PA Systems.
TH: “And his opponent, he is one half of the X-WCW Tag Team Champions…D-EXTREME!”
D-Extreme makes his way down the ring as the red and black lights continue to flicker through the arena. The crowd boos heavily at the nTo member as he makes his way down the aisle. He climbs into the ring and raises both arms in the air before the lights go back normal.
RK: “Time to put SFM into his place here tonight, JR.”
The bell rings to start off the match and SFM goes infront of D-Ex and offers him a handshake. D-Extreme slowly extends his hand towards SFM but instead of shaking it, he gives a quick slap to the head of SFM before he backs away.
JR: “Such arrogance there by D-Extreme. I didn’t knew he had it in him, King.”
RK: “I guess D-Extreme realizes his rights and bragging rights to push around the new guys here.”
D-Extreme and SFM lock up and D-Extreme kicks SFM hard on the gut. D-Ex bounces off the ropes and hits a running knee smash on the ribs of SFM. SFM is down and D-Extreme picks him up to deliver a couple of clubs to the back. D-Extreme places SFM up before he lights him up with a stiff chop. SFM takes revenge with a hard chop of his own on D-Ex. SFM follows it up with a couple of fast jabs before he bounces off the ropes.
JR: “SFM with the shot off the ropes and he slides under the taller D-Extreme. D-Ex turns around and gets taken down by a diamond cutter type of move by SciFi Man. D-Ex is down and SFM goes for the pin..1…2..KICKOUT BY D-EX!”
RK: “He could have pinned D-Ex there. We were THAT close of an upset, JR. D-Ex better step it up if he knows what is good for him.”
D-Extreme and SFM are up at the same time and SFM charges at D-Ex. D-Extreme catches SFM with a big boot to the face. SFM is picked up by D-Extreme and D-Ex delivers a huge bodyslam on his opponent. D-Extreme picks up SFM again and sends him to the corner. D-Extreme charges at SFM who is at the corner and connects with a hard elbow smash to the face of SFM.
RK: “Man, that would have just made SFM’s mug ugly.”
JR: “A very hard elbow smash there on the face of SFM by D-Extreme. D-Extreme continues to pummel down on SciFi Man at that corner, King. D-Extreme stops the hard kicks to the rib area and now he starts to work on it with a couple of shoulder charges”
SFM is down on the corner and D-Extreme starts choking him with his boot. The referee breaks up the choke hold and separates the two for a while. D-Extreme gets back at SFM and picks him up. SFM has a short burst of energy as he surprises D-Extreme with a flurry of punches to the face and body to keep the big man at bay. D-Extreme staggers after SFM delivers a superkick on him. SFM grabs D-Extreme and sends him to the ropes.
JR: “D-Extreme with the bounce off the ropes and SFM catches him with a hurracanrana. D-Extreme is sitting up on the mat and SFM connects with a hard dropkick to the back of D-Ex.”
RK: “That’s gonna hurt the back of the big guy. Remember JR, D-Ex has had back problems in the last 2 years.”
D-Extreme is in pain as he slowly gets himself up. SFM is behind him and adjusts his gloves before he raises it in the air as he waits for D-Ex to get up. D-Extreme turns around and SFM quickly grabs him by the throat.
JR: “WHAT IN THE?”
RK: “DON’T TELL ME THAT GUY IS GONNA…GONNA.”
SFM seems like he is going for a chokeslam on D-Ex, but D-Ex kicks him hard on the gut to let him go. D-Extreme hits a hard punch on the face of SFM to take him down.
RK: “I knew it was too good to be true for SFM to pull that off.”
SFM gets to his feet and D-Extreme goes for another punch. SFM dodges this one and he hits a dropkick right to the face of D-Ex. D-Ex is sent reeling to the corner where SFM follows him there to capitalize with a clothesline. D-Extreme remains on the corner as SFM climbs to the top and starts hammering away on the taller competitor.
JR: “SciFi Man starts to round up those punches on D-Extreme ..7…8…9…10! SFM climbs down and D-Ex comes stumbling down to the mat.”
SFM waits for D-Ex to get up and deliver a shinning wizard across the head of the bigger opponent. D-Ex is down and SFM goes for the pin. D-Ex gets his shoulder up on the last second to the disappointment of SFM and the Japanese crowd. SFM gets up and shakes his head as he picks D-Ex up. He tries to whip D-Ex but D-Ex blocks it and hits an elbow to the face of SFM. SFM staggers backwards and D-Ex scoops him up for a bodyslam.
JR: “Bodyslam by D-Extreme. SFM just got his back pummeled by that hard slam there to the canvas. D-Extreme picks up SciFi Man and he whips him to the ropes. D-Ex catches him with the inverted atomic drop and follows it up with a hard kick to the gut.”
RK: “D-Extreme is putting on a clinic here JR….SPINEBUSTER!”
SFM is down on the mat as D-Extreme lets out a loud laugh. The crowd boos loudly as D-Extreme puts his foot over the fallen SFM. The referee counts the pin.
JR: “D-Extreme with the pin…1….2…NO! SFM GOT THE SHOULDER UP!”
RK: “WHAT THE HELL?!”
D-Ex gets frustrated and picks up SFM again. He backs him onto the corner and starts to deliver a couple of shoulder charges at him. D-Ex spins SFM around and lifts him on the top turnbuckle. There he delivers his patented corner move, the back shaker, that sends SFM hard to the mat.
JR: “The back shaker connected and it seems like D-Ex is ready to finish this fight. D-Ex with the pin..1….2….NO! SFM gets a shoulder up yet again!”
RK: “SFM is either determined or just stupid to get his ass kicked yet again.”
D-Extreme didn’t look as pleased at the count as he just glares at the referee. He puts his attention to SFM and signals for the Xtreme Factor. He puts SFM between his legs and sets him up. But SFM holds onto D-Extreme as D-Ex hoists SFM on his shoulders. SFM hits his fists on the forehead of D-Ex to take him down. D-Extreme struggles to pull the move off as SFM delivers a head butt to D-Ex. D-Extreme is sent falling down the mat and SFM hooks one of D-Ex’s leg.
JR: “Here is the pin..1….2…3! OH BAH GAWD! SCIFI MAN WINS THIS MATCH!!!”
The bell rings and SciFi Man slides out of the ring and raises his arms in victory. “Loose Yourself” hits as the crowd cheers at the big win of SFM.
TH: “The winner of this match as a result of pinfall…SCIFI MAN!!!”
D-Extreme is seen sitting down on the mat with a shocked expression on his face. SFM celebrates on his way to the backstage as we see D-Ex arguing with the referee.
JR: “SciFi Man did it King! HE PULLED A BIG UPSET ON D-EXTREME!!!”
RK: “I cant believe it JR! This is unfair! The referee made a quick count!”
Backstage
We see Autobot Jazz greeting his partner with a hug and raises his partners hand as various X-WCW wrestlers applaud SFM’s win over D-Extreme. While all this is happening, we see someone entering the backstage and stands behind SFM and AJ. It turns out to be D-Extreme. The guys at the back go silent for a while as SFM and D-Ex stare down.
D-Ex: "Congratulations kid"
D-Extreme slowly extends his hand to SFM and SFM gladly accepts it. D-Extreme leaves them and heads to his locker room.
We go back to ringside for the next match.
Tag Team Match
Styles and Daniels vs Starstorm
RK: “Nice sportsmanship shown there by D-Ex. Boy, if I was D-Ex, I would have just beaten the hell out of SFM for getting a cheap win over me.”
JR: “And that’s one of the reasons D-Extreme is one of the greatest wrestlers here in the X-WCW and your not.”
RK: “Hey, that wasn’t so nice.”
JR: “Ladies and gentlemen, the tag team match between the nTo white and the nTo red shall start right now.”
TH: “The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall!”
“n…T…o”
“End of everything” hits the PA System as Starstorm enters the stage with Jeff Jarrett in tow.
TH: “Introducing first…representing nTo red...STARSTORM!”
Starstorm make their way down the ring with Jarrett as the Tokyo crowd greet them with a loud round of boos and jeers.
JR: “Here comes Starstorm, King. They got Jarrett on their side as they will face AJ Style and Chris Daniels tonight in this tag team match. Last show, Jarrett was beaten up by nTo white until Starstorm came in to the rescue.”
“I Am” blares through the speakers as nTo white’s AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels enter the ringside area.
TH: “And their opponents representing nTo white…AJ STYLES and CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!”
Both men make their way down the ramp and slap the hands of some fans. The fans cheer wildly for the nTo white members as they slide into the ring. Jarrett is outside of the ring and he talks to Starstorm who are standing on the apron. Starstorm enters the ring and both teams are staring down the other in the middle of the ring.
JR: “The war between the two nTo teams are still sending shockwaves through the X-WCW, king. The once dominant faction here in this organization has been split since the kick out of AJ Styles from the nTo red. Tonight ladies and gentlemen, AJ Styles will try to prove that Cyberstrike made a very big mistake of kicking him out of the group.”
RK: “That is, if Starstorm wont beat the hell out of AJ and Daniels.”
The bell rings and Daniels and Vanth start off this match. Both men lock up and Daniels goes for a quick standing switch. He trips Vanth and goes over him for a quick ground headlock. Vanth gets up and starts to deliver some elbow shots to the mid-section of Daniels. Daniels lets go and he is sent to the ropes by Vanth. Vanth goes for a back body drop but Daniels lands behind him and goes for a backdrop. Vanth blocks the backdrop with a hard elbow to the face and takes Daniels down with a snapmare. Vanth locks on a headlock on Chris Daniels to keep him grounded.
JR: “The Japanese crowd seems to be silent here as they just look intently at the in-ring action being displayed by both men inside the ring.”
RK: “The biggest wrestling fans are found here in Japan, JR. They watch intently on the action AND THEN give their reaction. Most fans here prefer the traditional Japanese Strong-style wrestling so I dunno if both teams will deliver it here tonight”
Daniels slowly gets up and gets out of the headlock by putting on an arm wrench on Vanth. Vanth slowly reverses the hold to lock Daniels with an arm wringer. Vanth kicks Daniels twice before letting go. Vanth with the bounce off the ropes takes down Daniels with a shoulder block. Vanth goes for another run, but Daniels grabs him by the boot to trip him. Both men get up at the same time and Daniels delivers a swift punch that takes Vanth staggering back to the corner of nTo white. AJ is tagged and he stays on the apron to hold Vanth. Daniels backs up and charges to hit Vanth with a running backflip kick. The Japanese crowd give a pop on that move as Vanth goes down.
JR: “Vanth is down after that cartwheel kick by Daniels. AJ Styles is in the ring right now and picks up Vanth. What the hell?! Vanth grabs AJ and rolls him up for a pin 1…2..kickout by AJ and both men are up. Vanth gets hit by a hard punch by AJ and AJ continues his assault on Vanth with numerous punches to the head.”
Vanth reverses an Irish whip by AJ and catches him with a clothesline. Vanth is the first one to get up and makes a quick tag to Raven Darkstorm. RD gets into the ring but is met by a dropkick from AJ. RD gets back up and is hit yet again by another AJ Styles dropkick. AJ picks up RD and whips him into the ropes. AJ bounces off the other side of the ring and meets RD in the middle of the ring. AJ catches RD and he goes for a crucifix, which he converts into a DDT.
JR: “AJ Styles just planted Raven Darkstorm with a move that he calls the CLIFFHANGER”
RK: “The ending was kinda like that. Good name for that move, I can tell you that, JR.”
AJ picks him up and whips him to the ropes. RD slides below AJ and takes him down with an inverted DDT. Raven Darkstorm picks up AJ Styles and lights him up with a hard chop across the chest. RD delivers a barrage of blows to AJ before he grabs AJ by the head and slams him face first into the turnbuckle. AJ is backed onto the corner and RD charges at him. Raven connects with a clothesline and then scores a corner bulldog on AJ.
JR: “RD goes for the pin 1….2…NO! AJ gets a shoulder up on the count. RD grabs the leg of AJ and drags him to his corner, but AJ gets up and delivers an enziguri across the head of RD!”
RK: “Such flexibility there by AJ. I think we don’t need to call RVD for future bookings with AJ around.”
AJ gets himself up and he tags out to Daniels. AJ and Daniels whip RD to the ropes. Unbeknownst to them, Vanth pats RD’s back on the rebound. AJ and Daniels score with a double superkick on RD but as the look at the turnbuckle, they see Vanth flying toward them and connecting with a flying crossbody block. Vanth takes both nTo white members down to the mat with him as the crowd cheers for that spectacular move.
JR: “What an impressive move there by Vanth. We all know nTo red are the bad guys here…but the Japanese fans here appreciate that aerial move there by Vanth Dreadstar.”
RK: “I told ya JR…very different crowd here.”
RD rolls out of the ring and AJ is escorted to the corner by the referee as the match continues. Daniels is hit with a hard knee to the gut by Vanth. Vanth connects with a couple of more knees to the sternum before he sends Daniels to the ropes. Vanth goes for a spinning heel kick but Daniels ducks down. Daniels waits for Vanth to turn around before landing a superkick. Daniels’ superkick is blocked and Vanth takes him down with a dragon screw. Vanth applies the starlock on Daniels and Daniels is in pain.
JR: “Vanth Dreadstar has Daniels locked down with that sharpshooter variation he calls the Starlock.”
RK: “He is working on the back and leg area of Daniels. He knows Daniels cant pull off his double springboard moonsault with a bad back or a bad set of legs.”
Daniels struggles to get reach of the ropes. To his dismay, the ropes are too far for his grasp as the submission move is still applied on him. The crowd and AJ are cheering him on as he struggles to crawl his way to the ropes. He finally reaches the ropes and Vanth has to let go of the submission. Vanth picks up Daniels but is surprised with a couple of hard rights to the face. Vanth is sent to the ropes and Daniels takes him down with a flying clothesline. Both men are down in the middle of the ring.
JR: “Which man will get the hot tag from their corner?”
RK: “Real question is, how long will they stay down?”
The question of King gets answered as Vanth gets up and reaches his corner to tag out to RD. Daniels crawls towards his corner and makes the hot tag to AJ Styles. AJ Styles shoots himself from the apron and lands a springboard dropkick on RD. AJ gets up to see Vanth charging at him. AJ leapfrogs over Vanth and then catches him with a back body drop. Vanth rolls to the outside as AJ stalks RD.
JR: “Raven Darkstorm gets to his feet and he is hit by the knee of AJ in the gut. AJ scoops him up and delivers a bodyslam.”
RK: “AJ seems to be pointing at the sky, JR. I think its time for something special.”
AJ Styles goes to the top rope and launches himself into a spinning body splash on RD.
JR: “SPIRAL TAP! He lands his high flying move on RD and he goes for the pin!”
AJ goes for the pin 1…2…NO. The count stops as Jarrett grabs the referee and drags him to the outside. In Ric Flair fashion, Jarrett clocks the referee on the head.
RK: “Someone call naitch, Jarrett just ripped him off yet again!”
JR: “What a cheap shot there by Jarrett to save his team. Inside the ring we see Vanth back into the action and he pummels down on AJ. Daniels in the ring and he grabs Vanth off AJ. Daniels and Vanth are at it with each other as they exchange punches on the ring. Meanwhile we see Jarrett sliding in the ring with a guitar.”
AJ Styles picks up Raven and sets him up for the Styles Clash. However, Jarrett swings the guitar and it hits the back of AJ’s head. The guitar is smashed up and Styles goes to the ground hard. Jarrett uses what remains of the guitar handle and smacks it over the head of Daniels to take him out as well. Jarrett and Vanth throw Daniels to the outside before the get out as well to put a stomp down on him.
JR: “Damn you Jarrett! He did it yet again! He used his guitar to secure a win for nTo red.”
RK: “Not yet JR. The ref might be up, but he is still outside of the ring.”
Inside the ring, we see RD gathering himself up and he picks up the groggy AJ Styles. He hits a DDT on AJ and pins him. The referee is back in the ring and he counts the pin being made.
RK: “1…2…3! Arigato Gozaimashu nTo red!”
TH: “The winners of this match….STARSTORM!!!”
“End of everything” hits as RD’s arm is raised by the referee. Outside of the ring, we see Jarrett and Vanth stop the beat down to go into the ring and celebrate with Raven. All three nTo red members raise each others arms while the Japanese crowd can only boo them. X-WCW goes to a brief commercial break.
We go back from the commercial break to see Terri Hotbody in the middle of the ring.
TH: “Ladies and gentlemen…welcome the members of n-T-o RED!”
“No Chance” by Dope plays through the speakers as the nTo red team enters the ringside area. CS is seen holding a nTo kendo stick and raises it in the air before he and the rest of his gang go down the aisle. The Japanese crowd greet them with a lot of jeers as they head towards the ring. Every member of nTo red, aside from CS, enters the ring. CS is seen on the apron and he slowly raises his arms in the air as the fans continue to boo him and the rest of his group. He gets inside the ring and D-Ex hands him a mic.
CS: “Tokyo, meet the team of the nTo red. Take a good look at these men in the ring RIGHT-NOW. These people who proudly wear the red and black on their bodies, are the past, present and future of this company! Its not because you like them, its because it is true! It is a fact that we are the most dominant force in the X-WCW today! Now I know that D-Extreme here had been defeated by that runt SFM, but we all know one thing and that is…it was just a fluke.”
The crowd boos and chant ‘SFM’ as D-Ex gets the mic.
D-Ex: “Your speaking the truth friend. SciFi Man, no matter what happened in our match, you were lucky. You were lucky to catch me off guard and you were lucky…that I didn’t beat the hell out of you and your partner backstage after the match. I gave you your due, you outsmarted me tonight, you won against X-WCW’s premier wrestler today. But SFM, you and Autobot Jazz better listen and listen good. Cyberstrike and D-Extreme are on top of the tag team ladder here in the X-WCW. These four belts we have are NOT gonna leave soon and go to your laps. So savour your victory SFM, savour your partner’s victory, Jazz…for the next time you face me or the nTo Red…its gonna be a different story.”
D-Ex grins and gives the mic back to CS. The rest of the group (Trinity, Jarrett and Starstorm) applauds D-Ex as the fans boo the nTo.
CS: “Thank you, D-Ex. Now Eamon, you were saved by Final Frontier tonight from a savage beating that you deserved. Better thank them cause it if were not for them, we would have sent your stinking aussie ass driving towards the nearby Tokyo Medical Hospital. Now enough about you and the rest of your friends that I would like to call ‘The X-WCW’s 3 stooges’.”
We see CS grinning as he looks at his members and see them laughing at that comment.
CS: “AJ, you saw what happened tonight. You saw that you got pinned fair and square by my team, Starstorm. Vanth and Raven *looks to Starstorm* I want to tell you guys how fortunate I am to have you two here with my group. You see these two here are the FUTURE of the X-WCW tag team division! So what? Me and D got these belts right now but when the time comes, these guys will be wearing each and every belt related to the moniker ‘tag team champion’ on every federation. It doesn’t matter if its X-WCW, XAW hell…even in the AWF….Starstorm will get the tag team titles in the near future and will be the biggest tag team there will be in their era. But for now, they are wise. Ladies and gentlemen, Raven Darkstorn and Vanth Dreadstar are taken under the wings of the two greatest tag team in the X-WCW of all time.”
JR: “Now CS is just stroking his ego. I don’t think CS and D-Ex are the best tag team here in the X-WCW.”
RK: “Then who are?”
JR: “Well…”
RK: “See? Then they ARE the best! You cant even think of a team that has more dominance than CS and D-Ex!”
CS: “Tonight, Starstorm showed their mastery in the field of tag team wrestling. Thanks to me and D here, we are grooming Starstorm to be the next big thing to the tag team division. Now Jarrett…you have been an asset to this group. Not only do you provide us the veteran guidance, but you provide a drive. You walked down with my young guns here as they fought AJ and Daniels and you guided them to victory. Sure you may not have thought these two the ropes, but you guided them with a win. Trinity, you are the most loyal woman I ever met in my life and for that, I thank you.”
Trinity nods to CS before CS moves on.
CS: “So what is there left for the X-WCW? NOTHING! The best of the best is here in nTo red! Jeff Jarrett, a multi time NWA Champ and a season veteran. Trinity, beauty, brains, brawn, in one package of a woman. Starstorm, the best young tag team here in the X-WCW. D-Extreme is the X-Factor of the group. He has the strength. He has the power and he has the mental toughness that would intimidate anyone in the back. Cane, who is not here, is a dominant wrestler and also a good GM for the X-WCW. And finally, Cyberstrike, the best X-WCW wrestler today. Its not Divebomb or Eamon or better yet…its not even BLASTER. I AM the best there is here in the X-WCW. All these names I mentioned are incorporated into one cohesive group that is the nTo red. So to all those who oppose us like Eamon or Final Frontier or better yet, the nTo white, beware! We will get you one by one. Just look at us…LOOK AT US! There is NO CHANGE IN HELL that you can beat this team.”
CS slowly raises his nTo kendo stick into the air as the fans boo. The rest of the nTo red slowly raise each others arms in the air to follow suit to their leader. “No Chance” hits the speakers as we go to the announce table.
JR: “Confident words by Cyberstrike and the rest of his members. The nTo red have spoke their case here tonight in Tokyo. But will they do exactly what they claim? Will they dominate the X-WCW like the old nTo did? Will they be the dominant nTo team here? We will find that out in our future shows. Meanwhile, lets take you all backstage with Cole Ryan as he talks with Reaper.”
RK: “Reaper is our current TV Champ, JR. He retained his title against Stryker last time.”
JR: “He did, King. Tonight, he will face Stryker and Rage for the title.”
RK: “I guess its gonna be one hell of a match for our TV Champ.”
Backstage
We see Cole Ryan standing beside the X-WCW TV Champ, Reaper.
CR: “We are here backstage with Reaper. Reaper, tonight you will be defending your title against 2 men in a triple threat match. Tonight, not only will you face Flash Stryker again, but R.E. Rage has been added into the mix. What do you think are your chances for winning in this contest?”
We see the Reaper looking down on the ground, silent. He slowly tilts his head and grabs the mic from Cole Ryan.
R: “Chances? There are no chances for me to win this thing Cole. Tonight, I WILL win it! Tonight, Flash, I will finish off what I will do to you. If I haven’t sent you back to the injured list last time, I will tonight! On Warzone, I should have just finished you off so you cant get a shot at this title again. I don’t like people who try to chase me or chase my title. Flash, you will feel my wrath tonight. Rage, we have been at odds with each other since the day I met you. Tonight, it will not be different. Your arrogance will once again fall down to the might of the Reaper. So Rage….Stryker…get ready. Tonight, I shall deliver you both into eternal damnation….ONE..BY…ONE!”
We go back to ringside to start off the match.
X-WCW TV Championship
Triple Threat Match
Reaper© vs R.E. Rage vs Styker
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Nitro! Tonight we will bring to you a special main event featuring 3 of X-WCW’s finest squaring off in the ring. Its going to be a triple threat match for the X-WCW Television Title.”
RK: “It is truly special, JR. Tonight marks the return of R.E. Rage!!! He is one of my favorite wrestlers here in the X-WCW. Well…next to Cyberstrike of course.”
JR: “Your ass kissing of the X-WCW administration has no ends doesn’t it, King?”
RK: “Ah what the hell do you know?!”
TH: “The following match is a triple threat match for the X-WCW TV Title! Introducing first….”
“I…AM…IT!”
The lights go out for a while before the stage pyros blaze up.
“BREAK!”
“Tear Away” plays as the pyros are still blazing like it’s the entrance of Harleem Heat. R.E. Rage enters on stage and raises his arms into the air while seen with a big grin on his face.
TH: “….R.E RAGE!!!”
He struts his way down the aisle as the crowd gives him a loud chorus of boos. The lights go back up and the pyro dies down as R.E. Rage makes his way inside the ring. He goes to the top rope and makes a gesture that he will be the next champ. He jumps down from the top rope and waits for his opponent.
RK: “He is back ladies and gentlemen. R.E. Rage has returned to the X-WCW.”
JR: “If I recall, this is Rage’s first show since that time he tagged with Wrecka during our tag team throwdown special.”
“Speed Demon” hits and out comes Flash Stryker. The Japanese crowd are on their feet as they cheer for the fan favorite, Flash Stryker.
TH: “From Winnipeg, FLASH STRYKER!!!”
Flash points at the ring while crouching and he quickly dashes down the ramp. The crowd continues to cheer him along as he slides into the ring. He stops in the middle of the ring and quickly gets up. He goes to the ropes and climbs on it. He is on the second ropes as he faces the crowd and pats himself on the chest and points to the crowd with a big smile. He goes to the corner and both Rage and Stryker eye each other.
JR: “These two men have a history with each other, King.”
RK: “Yeah I know that JR. Infact…ALL THREE men who are involved in this match are or were X-WCW TV Champions in their stay here in the X-WCW. So we can sort of dub this match ‘the match of the TV champions’…or something like that.”
“poison” by Prodigy blares through the PA Systems and out comes the TV Champion, Reaper.
TH: “He is the X-WCW Television Champion….REAPER!!!”
The crowd gives a very mixed reaction as Reaper makes his way down the aisle. He enters the ring and looks at the two men one by one. He raises his TV Title in the air before handing it to the referee. All three men go to the center of the ring as the referee holds the Title in the air. The referee gives the title belt to the time keeper.
JR: “The competitors are now inside the ring, King. This match is about to kick off.”
RK: “There are a whole lot of tension in that ring right now, JR.”
The bell rings and all three men wait for one of them to strike. Rage quickly looks as if he will be the first to strike, but he backs away and slides to the outside of the ring. The crowd boos Rage as he has a big smile on his face and looks at the remaining two men inside the ring.
JR: “Look King, Rage is scared!”
RK: “I don’t think so, JR. I think this kid has something in plan here.”
JR: “What is it then King? Will he hide somewhere safe until its ok to get out?”
Reaper and Flash Stryker look at Rage for a while until Reaper goes for a clothesline. F-S ducks the clothesline attempt and spins Reaper around for a hard kick to the gut. He sends Reaper into the ropes and takes him down with a hiptoss. Reaper goes back up yet again and F-S delivers yet another hiptoss to take him down. Reaper is picked up by F-S and gets a couple of hard chops to the chest. Reaper fights back with a face rake on Stryker and grabs him from behind.
JR: “Reaper has Stryker in his grasps and takes him down with a backdrop. Reaper waits for F-S to get on his feet and hits one hard right hand to the face of his opponent. Outside the ring, Rage just looks on with a smile on his face.”
RK: “Any minute now, JR. Any minute now…Rage will get in that ring and win this thing!”
Rage gets into the ring as Reaper starts to deliver some shoulder thrusts to the midsection. Reaper iris whips F-S into the direction of Rage but F-S baseball slides through the legs of R.E. Rage. Rage looks under him to see Stryker slip past him before he looks straight to see Reaper with an incoming clothesline. The clothesline connects on Rage and he goes down hard. Flash Stryker spins Reaper around and hits a hard kick to the gut.
JR: “Flash Stryker bounces off the ropes and catches Reaper with a spinning neckbreaker.”
RK: “Stryker seems to be using his speed to his advantage here, JR and I don’t blame him.”
Rage gets to his feet and hits a hard club to the back of F-S. F-S is on his knees as Rage slaps him on the head for a couple of times before picking him up. He sends F-S to the ropes and catches him with a hiptoss…that Stryker blocks and reverses it with a hiptoss of his own. Rage gets up only to get caught with a dropkick to the face by Flash Stryker. Reaper meanwhile, is resting at the corner.
JR: “Rage is down after that dropkick by Flash Stryker and it looks like the speed demon is going towards Reaper. Flash runs towards Reaper at the post but Stryker slides to the outside instead. Stryker pulls the leg of Reaper inside the ring and trips his larger opponent.”
RK: “I’m actually enjoying what Flash is doing right now, JR. He is actually using the ring to his advantage. Maybe there IS hope for him to win this match.”
Rage delivers a basement dropkick to the face of Reaper who was slowly getting to his feet. With Reaper rolling to the outside after the hit, Rage turns around to taunt at the crowd. Stryker gets back into the ring and grabs Rage for a schoolboy pin.
JR: “Stryker with a schoolboy 1…2...KICKOUT. Rage gets himself out of the pin and Stryker takes Rage down with an armdrag. Flash Stryker locks that arm scissors on R.E. Rage while Reaper slides to the ring with a chair.”
RK: “I think someone pissed Reaper off, JR.”
Reaper wants to use the chair, but the referee would not let the TV Champ get past him and get to the other competitors. Meanwhile, Flash Stryker lets go of the hold and tries to send Rage to the ropes. Rage blocks it and sends Stryker accidentally into the back of the referee. The referee gets bumped and goes through the ropes.
JR: “The referee just got knocked to the outside by Flash Stryker. Inside the ring, Reaper just blasted Rage with that chair shot.”
RK: “That’s the wonders a chair could do for you while the ref is out, JR. It can be your best friend in there. Uh oh..better watch out there Flash.”
F-S slowly gets to his feet after the collision with the referee. Reaper swings the chair at F-S, but F-S ducks down to avoid it. Stryker kicks Reaper to the gut and delivers a dropkick across the chair, making it hit the forehead of Reaper.
JR: “Stryker just pulled off a van dominator! Reaper lets go of the chair and he slowly goes down on the mat. Outside the ring, the referee is finally conscious and makes his way into the ring. Rage is back up again and he greets F-S with a hard forearm to the face.”
We see Reaper rolling to the outside to recover. Rage delivers a couple of those forearms before he sends F-S into the ropes. Rage catches him with a back body drop, but F-S lands behind Rage. Flash Stryker spins Rage around and sends him to the corner. There he charges at him with a spinning heel kick to the face of R.E. Rage.
JR: “Stryker sets Rage on the top turnbuckle and I think this match will be all over, King.”
Flash Stryker hooks both of Rage’s arm while he is standing on the second turnbuckle. Flash Stryker sends Rage to the mat with the Drag Strip. The ring shook hard after that finisher was hit by F-S. Flash Stryker pins Rage..1….2….3! The bell rings and Flash Stryker is the new champion.
TH: “The winner and new X-WCW Television Champion…FLASH STRYKER!”
“Speed Demon” plays as the referee hands Stryker the belt. Outside the ring, Reaper is finally up and is upset of the outcome of the match. He doesn’t say a word as he just makes his way to the backstage area.
JR: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Flash Stryker is the new X-WCW Television Champion! He overcame the odds tonight.”
RK: “Question is, will Flash keep that title of his long enough? Or will Reaper or Rage get it sooner or later?”
Inside the ring, we see Flash Stryker celebrating his win as the Tokyo crowd cheers him on. X-WCW goes off-air as Flash raises his TV title high.
