X-WCW Warzone goes on air as we see Cane Deathscream standing in the middle of the ring. The Saitama crowd starts to pour on the boos as Cane smirks in the middle of the ring.
CD: “WELCOME TO X-WCW!!!”
The boos turn into cheers for the crowd as Cane welcomes them to the show.
CD: “Tonight, will be the night for the Lord of the Ring quarter finals. The remaining 8 men shall be competing here tonight and 4 men will advance to go on to the semi finals at Nitro 10. Not only that, but tonight, we will have a TV Title match between Flash Stryker and Tidal. If those matches haven’t made you Japanese fans here happy, the TAG TEAM TITLES will be ON THE LINE as Cyberstrike and D-Extreme face…Default. Now lets start Warzone’s 20th episode with a BANG!”
JR: “I wonder how he can do that, King.”
RK: “Maybe he has a big surprise for us, JR. Whatever it is, it might be big.”
TH: “The following match is a LotR second round match and it is scheduled for one fall!”
LotR II Second Round Match
Divebomb vs Damien
“Cowboys from hell” by Pantera plays as Damien walks into the ringside area.
TH: “Introducing first, DAMIEN!!!”
The fans give Damien a light cheer as he makes his way down the aisle.
JR: “Here is Damien, ladies and gentlemen. Damien defeated Raven Darkstorm last Warzone to advance to the second round.”
RK: “The kids got potential, JR. Tonight, he will face one of the toughest challenge in his career, Divebomb.”
Damien enters the ring and poses for the crowd before he waits for his opponent. “Warriors of the world united” plays and out comes Divebomb.
TH: “And his opponent, DIVEBOMB!!!”
Divebomb walks down the ramp as the fans pour on the boos. He ignores the booing and the jeering as he makes his way to the ring.
JR: “Divebomb looks serious tonight, King. This man is out to prove to everyone that he deserves the UW Title.”
RK: “He wants his title back and in a bad way, JR. If I were Damien, I rather lie down right now to be pinned instead of being broken in half by D-Bomb.”
The bell rings and Damien charges at Divebomb. DB catches Damien with a drop toehold that sends the rookie down to the canvas. Divebomb hooks up on the waist of Damien and lifts him up before taking him face first into the mat. Divebomb quickly switches with a front face lock as he gets up. Damien uses all his strength to back Divebomb to the corner while he is still locked by the front face lock. The referee breaks it up and Divebomb raises his hands to tell the ref its ok. Divebomb quickly kicks Damien on the gut as Damien backed up.
JR: “What a cheap shot there by DB.”
RK: “The momentum is still with the former UW champ, JR. He is just toying with this kid right now.”
Divebomb grabs Damien and sends him shoulder first into the ring post. DB schoolboys Damien for the early pin but Damien kicks out at 2. Damien is up and he delivers a face rake on DB. He hits a couple of kicks to the mid-section of DB before he sends him to the ropes. Damien goes for the back body drop but DB gets to his feet behind Damien and takes Damien down with a sidewalk slam. DB bounces off the ropes and connects with a leg drop on Damien.
JR: “Divebomb hits a vicious legdrop on Damien. That has to damage the throat of Damien.”
RK: “Obviously, it does. Now you know why Hogan does that as his finisher? Its effective!”
Divebomb shouts at Damien to get up while Damien is coughing hard after that leg drop on his throat. Damien slowly gets up and is helped by DB. DB hits a throat thrust to Damien to aggravate the damage caused by the leg drop earlier. Damien staggers to the ropes and DB clotheslines Damien to the outside.
JR: “Damien is sent to the outside by Divebomb. Divebomb is on the outside right now and he stomps down on the newcomer, Damien.”
Divebomb lifts Damien and tosses him face first into the steel steps. DB picks up Damien and rolls him back into the ring. Before Divebomb gets in, he turns around to shout at a fan who was heckling him. DB gets inside the ring and waits for Damien to get up.
RK: “Damien is getting up, but Divebomb is just measuring him up right now. I think THE END is near for Damien.”
Damien is on his feet and he turns around only to get hard kick to the gut by Divebomb. Divebomb has Damien on his grasps and he delivers THE END to Damien.
JR: “Youre right, King. THE END connects on Damien and he pins him…1….2…3! The match is over and Divebomb advances to the next round.”
TH: “The winner by pinfall….DIVEBOMB!!!”
Divebomb’s music hits the speakers as the referee tries to raise his hand. Divebomb shakes his hand off his as he gets up on his feet. Divebomb raises his arms in victory as the Saitama crowd can do nothing but boo him. Divebomb slides out of the ring and he makes his way to the backstage area as we go back to the announce table.
JR: “That sure was a quick match to kick off Warzone.”
RK: “It was quick since Divebomb was facing someone who was NOT in his league. It was a squash, JR, and there is nothing more to say about it. Damien was a very unfortunate kid to be facing a guy like Divebomb.”
JR: “Don’t go away folks, Warzone will be back right after these messages.”
Backstage
Warzone goes back after the commercial break to see Cole Ryan standing by with Judge Death.
CR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Warzone! Up next we will have the match between Judge Death and Jeff Jarrett. JD, you did tell us a few days back that Jarrett will be facing the unstoppable. Why did you refer to yourself with such a word?”
JD thinks for a while before he answers the question.
JD: “You have to look at it thisss way Cole. I will not ssstand down to Jarrett or the ressstt of the nTo guysss. Red or White, male or female, vertebrate…or invertebrate…I ssshall deliver punisshhment to those who desserve it. Jarrett, tonight, you will be punissshed for your crimesss. I am the judge, jury and yesss…the executioner.”
Judge Death glares at the camera for a while before he looks back at Cole. He nudges him and cackles
JD: “Get it?.j’'udge, jury, executioner’? Itsss like I’m 3 in one here. Hehehe!”
CR: “Uhm..yeah…back to you guys.”
We go back to ringside.
RK: “I don’t think Cole got the joke, JR. Well, atleast I got it. Hahaha! What a joker that guy is, even though he is so thin and frail,he can make my sides split.”
LotR II Second Round Match
Judge Death vs Jeff Jarrett
“My world” hits the speakers as Jarrett enters the ringside area wearing an nTo red t-shirt. He raises his guitar in the air as TH introduces him.
TH: “Introducing first, from Nashville Tenesse, JEFF JARRETT!”
Jarrett continues to raise his guitar while going down the ramp. The Saitama crowd greets the nTo member with a chorus of boos on his way down the ramp. Jarrett slides into the ring and raises the guitar into the air once more.
JR: “Jarrett defeated Tidal to advance last Warzone. Just like Tidal, Judge Death would prove to be a very powerful opponent for the chosen one.”
RK: “No matter how much you can say JD is a skinny turd, he does have the strength to lift guys twice his size, JR. In the end, I think Jarrett can win this by using his experience. If he cant, theres always his guitar to let him get this victory.”
“Out Of The Silent Planet” by Iron Maiden blares through the sound systems as Judge Death enters the entrance.
TH: “And his opponent, JUDGE DEATH!!!”
JD slowly walks down the ramp but he stops for a while.
RK: “What in the blue hell is he doing?! Hes infront of a crowd here dammit! Someone think of the children!”
JD grunts as he scratches his nether regions for a while. He stops scratching and resumes walking down the aisle. The crowd gives JD a mixed reaction as he is making his way to the ring. JD takes off his big helmet and places it on the steel steps before he enters the ring. The camera gets a shot of the crowd and we see a sign saying “BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY…YOU SKINNY TURD!”.
JR: “It seems like JD had his birthday recently. So Judge Death, belated happy birthday from the X-WCW and its staff.”
RK: “I think his b-day wish this year is to fatten himself a bit. Man, I don’t think his mother feeds him that much.”
The bell rings as Jarrett quickly runs towards JD. JD scouts him and ducks a clothesline. JD delivers a couple of quick jabs to the face of Jarrett before he sends him to the ropes. Jarrett takes JD down with a shoulder charge on the way back. JD gets up as Jarrett bounces off the ropes yet again to take him down with a bulldog.
JR: “Jarrett takes JD down with the bulldog face crusher. Double J is certainly starting off the right note here if he wants to get a win over JD. Jarrett picks up Judge Death but JD delivers an eye poke to take Jarrett aback. JD kicks Double J hard on the gut and scoops him up for a body slam.”
JD slams Double J down hard on the mat. Judge Death goes to the apron and he seems to be going to the top rope. However, as he climbs up, he slips and falls down to the outside.
RK: “HAHAHA! Would you look at that JR, the skinny turd slipped and fell! Oh this is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!”
JR: “Oh shut up King. Inside the ring we can see Jarrett getting to his feet. Right now, I think he doesn’t know where the blazes JD might be right now.”
Jarrett looks where JD might be as we see JD sliding back into the ring. JD stands behind Jarrett and waits for him to turn around. Jarrett finally sees JD but it was too late as JD hits a hard headbutt on Jarrett. Jarrett staggers backwards before JD hooks Jarrett’s arms and deliver a triple-Al Snow-esique headbutt combination. Double J goes down and JD pins him.
JR: “Judge Death covers Jeff Jarrett for the pin 1…2..Kickout by Jarrett. JD gets up and grabs Jarrett by the head.”
JD has Jarrett with a side headlock as he pours on the punches over the head of Double J. With Jarrett still in his clutches, JD bounces off the ropes and delivers a bulldog. JD gets up and waits for Jarrett to get up.
JR: “Judge Death is just stalking Jarrett right now. Double J is slowly getting to his feet now as Judge Death waits for him accordingly.”
Judge Death sizes Jarrett up before he locks on a sleeper hold. He goes for his submission finisher called ‘hard to swallow’ on Jarrett, but Jarrett grabs the arm that was going to his mouth to stop the move. Judge Death struggles to put it in the mouth of Double J, but in the end, Jarrett sneaks in a low blow to Judge Death to let him go.
JR: “Jarrett just kicked JD below the belt! Someone disqualify him!”
RK: “What are you talking about?! I didn’t see anything.”
JD is on his knees as Jarrett goes to the nearest corner to catch his breath. Jarrett walks towards JD after a while and picks him up. Jarrett scores a couple of solid rights to the face of JD before he sends him off to the ropes. JD slides between the legs of Jarrett on the rebound as Jarrett tries to clothesline him. JD bounces off the other side and slides on his knees to deliver a throat thrust on Jarrett. Double J goes down as JD gets up and waits for him to get up.
JR: “Jarrett is on his feet and JD grabs him by the throat.”
RK: “I sense a chokeslam coming up, JR!”
JD delivers a chokeslam on Jarrett and the crowd goes nuts for JD. JD gets up and drags Jarrett to the other side. Judge Death slowly goes to the top rope and launches himself with a top rope leg drop. The leg drop connects and he pins Jarrett.
JR: “Judge Death goes for the pin..1…2…NO! Jarrett gets a shoulder up.”
Judge Death gets up and argues with the referee with the count. He sighs before he picks up Jarrett. Jarrett takes him by surprise with a couple of kicks to the mid-section. Jarrett bounces off the ropes and takes JD down with a clothesline. JD gets up and Jarrett quickly grabs him to take him down with a vertical suplex.
JR: “What an elevation there on that suplex delivered by Double J.”
RK: “Jarrett is one of the best wrestlers in this business….course he can make a lot of good moves.”
Jarrett picks up JD and goes to his side. Jarrett quickly connects with THE STROKE
JR: “THE STROKE! Jarrett just blasted Judge Death with the stroke”
RK: “I think its all over for JD”
Jarrett pins JD and the referee goes for the count. However, the referee does not count the pin since JD has his foot on the bottom rope. Jarrett gets up and doesn’t look too pleased with it. He picks up Judge Death but JD takes him by surprise with a roll up. The referee counts the pin, but Jarrett kicks out at two.
RK: “Man, Judge Death was THIS close to winning the match. You have no idea how lucky he would have been, JR.”
Both men get up and JD charges at Jarrett for a flying crossbody. Jarrett sidesteps and the referee is caught in that flying crossbody of JD. Both the referee and Judge Death are down on the mat as Jarrett is just puzzled on how the referee got there. He shakes his head before he goes to the outside.
JR: “Jarrett goes to the outside and…OH NO!”
RK: “OH YES!!!”
Jarrett grabs his guitar and slides into the ring with it. Judge Death gets to his feel slowly and turns around to see Jarrett wielding the guitar. Muttering, ‘oh no…’, Judge Death gets blasted over the head with the guitar. JD also burps before he falls down. Jarrett covers his nose due to the awful smell of rotten eggs under the breath of JD. Jarrett tosses the broken guitar to the outside and covers JD as the referee gets up.
JR: “The referee sees the pin being made…1….2…3! Damn you Jarrett…damn you, you did it again!”
RK: “AINT HE GREAT?! Hahaha”
TH: “The winner of this match…JEFF JARRETT!!!”
Jarrett slides out of the ring and celebrates his victory. The fans boo him heavily as he walks back up the ramp and heads to the backstage area. However, he gets stopped on his tracks as he looks at the WARtron to see Judge Death sitting up and looking at him.
RK: "What in the...that skinny turd got up that easy?!"
JR: "Well...I dont know how he did that King. But I do know this...WARZONE WILL BE BACK AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK!"
We go to a breif commercial break.
LotR II Second Round Match
Eamon X vs Ryan X
JR: “Before we get to this next match, here’s an interview that Eamon X gave to our own Cole Ryan earlier today!”
RK: “Wake me when it’s over, will you?”
Earlier Today
Cole Ryan is with Eamon X in the backstage area.
CR: “So tell me, Eamon X: what’s the deal with you and Flash Stryker?”
EX: “Well, we both have similar tastes in music, and considering the issues surrounding the guy who sings his regular theme – you all know who he is – I thought I’d lend him something appropriate from my own collection.”
CR: “What might that be?”
EX: “You’ll find out.”
CR: “OK. And as for tonight’s match with Ryan X?”
EX: “I had a hand in training him, so not only do I know his strengths, but I also have an intimate knowledge of his weaknesses. It should still be a good match, though, and woe betide ANYONE from nTo Red who interferes with it!”
CR: “Sounds like a plan.”
EX: “I ALWAYS have a plan for things such as that. Excuse me!”
EX leaves, and Cole is perplexed.
Live Action
“American Idiot” hits the PA system, and Ryan X makes his entrance to a warm audience response.
RK: “Well, James, should I call this a ‘Battle of the X’s’?”
JR: “Don’t let me stop you, Randal.”
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring Second Round Match, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Toronto, Ontario, Canada – RYAN X!”
The cheers continue as Ryan X makes his way to the ring.
Then the arena darkens, and “Break & Enter” hits. Once the pyrotechnic explosion hits, the lights return, and Eamon X stands on the stage. The cheer is thunderous.
TH: “His opponent: a native of Sydney, Australia – EAMON X!”
Eamon X makes his way to the ring. Once both men are inside, they shake hands, and the bell rings to begin the match.
After stalking each other around the ring for about ten seconds, both men tie up in the middle. EX quickly gains the strength advantage, throwing Ryan to the mat. However, Ryan doesn’t stay down for long: he gets up, and they tie up again, only to yield an identical result.
EX allows Ryan to get up again, but this time, EX tries to whip Ryan into the back right corner. Ryan reverses this, though, sending EX face first into the turnbuckles.
EX shakes it off, but as he turns to face his opponent, Ryan charges at him, hitting a big corner splash on EX. He then goes for another corner splash, with similar success.
However, when Ryan goes for his third splash, EX stands straight up, catching Ryan in a bear hug predicament. EX walks into the centre of the ring, dropping Ryan into a Kurrgan Shuffle-style slam! EX goes for the first pinfall attempt of the match.
RK: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “Eamon X may be 40 pounds lighter these days, but he’s lost none of his strength or intensity!”
EX allows Ryan to get up, and once he does, EX grabs Ryan by his left arm, dropping him into a single arm DDT. EX gets up, rebounding off the back ropes and attempting a leg drop to the back of Ryan’s neck, but Ryan rolls out of the way, causing EX to fall awkwardly on his backside.
RK: “He’s a pain in the ass…. in more ways than one! HA!”
JR: “You’re just bitter because he’s won more titles in 2 years than you won in 10, aren’t you?”
With EX smarting from his landing, Ryan seizes the opportunity to try to end the match. He stands up, grabbing EX by his legs and locking him in the Canadian Crippler!
RK: “This could be it!”
JR: “I strongly doubt that! They’re WAY too close to the ropes!”
Sure enough, after about 20 seconds in the hold, EX is able to move into position to reach the bottom left rope, breaking the hold.
Undaunted by this, Ryan allows EX to get up, before walking up behind him and hitting a hangman’s neckbreaker on him! Ryan goes for a pinfall of his own.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “It takes MUCH more than that to beat Eamon X!”
RK: “Well, duh.”
JR: “Stop it.”
EX gets up, and Ryan continues his assault. As EX turns to face Ryan again, Ryan hits him with a stiff Enziguri kick, but this does not bring EX to the mat. And as Ryan faces EX again, EX replies with a kick to the gut, followed by a hanging vertical suplex! EX goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Ryan X will be a big star in this company if he keeps up this level of resilience!”
Ryan gets up, and EX whips him to the right ropes. Ryan tries a running boot to the face on the rebound, but EX ducks it, and as both men turn to face each other again, EX brings Ryan to the mat with a stiff running clothesline.
JR: “That’s one of the best clotheslines in the business right there!”
RK: “By the way, did you know that the Hills Hoist clothesline also came from Australia?”
JR: “Yes, I know that!”
RK: “But I’ll bet these idiots in the crowd didn’t! They’d rather cheer Eamon X than actually learn something!”
Of course, the crowd is cheering for EX, who sits Ryan up and hits a flipover neck whip on him. And as Ryan is on the mat smarting from this, EX takes to the front left turnbuckles in readiness for a high-risk manoeuvre.
Once Ryan gets up, EX hits a bionic elbow on Ryan, bringing him down again. He then follows this up with a leg lock chokehold!
JR: “My God! What an unexpected move this is!”
RK: “But they’re both very close to the ropes again! Come on, Ryan X! Eamon X has enough tackle dummies as it is!”
After 30 seconds, Ryan is able to turn toward the right ropes, putting his left foot on the bottom rope and breaking the hold.
As both men get to their feet, two familiar faces appear on the stage: Cyberstrike and D-Extreme. Both of them are carrying chairs.
JR: “What the hell are THEY doing here?”
RK: “I don’t know, but it can’t be good news for either man in that squared circle at the moment!”
But instead of running to the stage, both nTo Red members unfold their chairs and sit down, apparently to watch the match.
And in the ring, EX and Ryan are tied up in the centre again. Once more, EX is quick to gain the strength advantage, throwing Ryan down yet again. EX rebounds off the back ropes, but this time he hits a most unexpected move on Ryan: Road Dogg’s Crazylegs Knee Drop!
This solicits a HUGE cheer from the crowd, and EX goes for a pinfall!
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “It’s not over just yet, but Cyberstrike and D-Extreme might just change that equation! And it’s NOT a No DQ match, by the way!”
Sure enough, the nTo Red members have folded up their chairs and made their way to the ring. As this happens, EX brings Ryan to his feet again, and he attempts another whip to the back ropes, where Cyberstrike is waiting. However, Ryan reverses the whip, and as soon as EX hits the ropes, Cyberstrike hits EX right in the face with the chair!
The referee calls for the bell.
JR: “HELL NO! Not like this! NOT LIKE THIS!”
RK: “Oh shut up! Eamon X still won, so I’d stop complaining if I were you!”
TH: “Here’s your winner, as a result of a disqualification – EAMON X!”
D-Extreme enters the ring, hitting Ryan with the chair and tossing him out of the ring. Both men turn their attention to the downed EX, hitting him several times each with their chairs.
RK: “That’s what you get for crossing the boss!”
JR: “Way to go, guys. Hit him when he’s down.”
The boos from the crowd turn into cheers when A.J.Styles and Christopher Daniels – from the nTo White faction – run to the ring. Both men mount the front left and right turnbuckles, and once Cyberstrike and D-Extreme turn around, Styles and Daniels hit stereo dropkicks on them!
JR: “That’s more like it! Go get ‘em!”
RK: “Oh, knock it off!”
As the nTo Red and White members square off in the ring, EX comes to his senses and gets up. At the same time, Cane Deathscream makes his way through the crowd in an attempt to sneak attack EX.
Styles calls “Behind you!” to EX once CD enters the ring, and EX turns in time to nail the charging CD with a thunderous X-Blast! And with all 3 nTo Red members downed in the ring, EX gives the nTo White members the thumbs up before shaking their hands.
JR: “That’s better!”
RK: “Whatever. We’ll be back in a moment!”
TheGreatOne vs
JR: “Welcome back to Warzone folks. For the past few weeks, we've been seeing promos for a young new wrestler who is calling himself The Great One. He looks like a fine addition to the X-WCW roster, and tonight he gets his big chance.”
RK: “What we don't know is who his opponent will be. He issued an open challenge to X-WCW Commisioner Cane Deathscream to book him in a match with anyone on the roster. Who was chosen for the match?”
JR: “I don't know. Whoever it is will be a real test of The Great One's abilities. And that is going to start right now.”
Bad Company hits while some pyro goes off. TGO then emerges from the back. He is given a moderate reception as he walks down to the ring.
TH: “The following match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from Greenland, The Great One.”
TGO makes enters the ring and stands on the rope in one of the turnbuckles. He lifts his arms as if showing off his greatness.
RK: “He looks like an excellent wrestler.”
JR: “Looks are one thing, let's see how he handles in the ring. I'm itchin' to find out who his opponent is.”
"I am it!"
"Tear Away" hits as Rage makes his way to the ring, greeted by a chorus of boos.
JR: “Bah God! His opponent is R.E Rage.”
TH: “And his opponent, R.E. Rage.”
The fans give R.E. Rage the loudest boos audible from here to the outside of the Tokyo streets as he makes his way down the aisle.
RK: “This match is going to be amazing, James.”
The bell rings and the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Rage knocks TGO to the ground, but he quickly gets up. Rage grabs him and whips him to the ropes. TGO bounces off the ropes and responds with a punch to Rage. Rage connects with several punches again and whips TGO to the corner. Rage mounts the second turn buckle and proceeds to pound TGO. Rage gets down and throws TGO to the ground.
JR: “Rage goes for the cover 1,2, kick out by TGO.”
RK: “Rage was just messing with him. This will be over quickly.”
JR: “Don't be so quick Randall, this kid looks like he ain't gonna give up so easily.”
Rage pulls TGO up again and tries to whip him into the corner again, but TGO reverses it and
follows Rage to deliver a shoulder to the gut of Rage.
JR: “Good reversal by the newcomer, The Great One. He's building momentum. And TGO grabs Rage and delivers a devastating suplex. What power by the challenger!”
RK: “Just luck. That's all.”
TGO pulls Rage up, but is greeted with a fist to the jaw. Rage deliers a roundhouse kick to TGO. He then goes for a cover.
JR: “1, 2.. and TGO gets the shoulder up. This match isn't over yet.”
RK: “Slow count. Come on ref. Do your job right!”
JR: “Both men are up, and TGO has puts a knee in Rage's gut. And TGO connects with a DDT. 1, 2,.. that was close, but Rage gets the shoulder up.”
TGO kicks Rage several times to keep him down. TGO grabs Ragels leg and applies an ankle lock.
JR: “And TGO has the ankle lock applied on Rage. Rage isn't giving up though. HE's moving toward the rope.”
Rage crawls slowly toward the rope. The pressure from the ankle lock is wearing on him. The ref is asking him if he wants to give up. He finally makes it to the rope. The ref begins to administer the five count to TGO. TGO breaks off his submission hold at 4. Rage gets up, clerly suffering from the ankle lock. TGO dives and hits the already injured leg of Rage.
JR: “And TGO is chopping the leg of Rage. Keeping the powerhouse Rage down is definitely a great idea.”
RK: “I'll give him that. Keeping Rage down is good.”
Rage gets back up. TGO attepmts to kick, but Rage grabs the leg and reverses with a stiff enziguri. Even with the pain in his foot, he crawls for a cover, but TGO counts out at 2. TGO is the first to his feet. He grabs Rage and throws him into the corner and connects with another shoulder. TGO sits Rage on the top rope. Rage manages to kick TGO out of the way and to the ground. Rage flies from the top rope and connects with an elbow drop. Rage gets uo, but has difficulty doing so. He makes his way slowly over to the TGO and goes for a pin.
JR: “Looks like it's over. 1,2..no! TGO gets the shoulder up.”
Rage goes for the pin again with the same result.
RK: “This new kid is an idiot. Rage is just gonna hurt him even more.”
Rage pulls TGO up and throws him to the corner. He sits TGO up on the top rope and climbs up.
JR: “And Rage goes up for a devastating top rope maneuver.”
RK: “Looks like this kid just blew his chance to impress. Now Rage is put him out of his misery.”
Rage sets him up for a powerful drop. But TGO hits Rage in the gut. He grabs Rage and stands up on the top rope. He sets Rage up for a powerbomb. He jumps off the top rope and connects with a powerful sit down powerbomb.
JR: “Bah God! A powerbomb from the top rope. What power.”
RK: “This can't be.”
JR: “He goes for a cover. 1..2..3. He did it. The Great One defeated R.E. Rage.”
TH: “Here is your winner, The Great One.”
Bad Company hits and The Great One lifts stands on the ropes. He lifts his arms in victory and greatness. The crowd gives him a nice reception.
JR: “The Great One has proved himself tonight and the fans seem to like him.”
RK: “He was just lucky. Rage wasn't focused tonight.”
TheGreatOne is still celebrating his win inside the ring as “Immortal” hits the speakers.
"n...T...o"
Cyberstrike comes down the aisle as the crowd boos him on the way to the ring. He has a smug look on his face as he enters the ring with a mic on his hand. TGO notices him and stands there to hear what the nTo red leader has to say.
CS: “Congratulations kid. You won your match. But let me tell you this, it was NOT VALID. TGO, your contract with the X-WCW is STILL a developmental deal. Now I don’t know who in their right mind told you that the X-WCW called you up from the Indiana Development Territory, cause quite frankly, WE DIDN’T! So consider your match tonight, null and void.”
TheGreatOne looks puzzled as CS continues.
CS: “However…you impressed me and you also impressed the X-WCW GM. So we are giving you a chance to compete with the active X-WCW Roster. On Nitro 10….TheGreatOne will be fac-”
Cyberstrike stops as TGO gets attacked from behind by TheManWithNoName. TGO fights back TMWNN and it’s a brawl.
JR: “IT’S THE MAN WITH NO NAME!!! He is also a developmental talent, King!”
RK: “Wow, its some green guys in the ring right now, JR.”
After a few seconds, the X-WCW referees storm to ringside to break up the fight. CS looks pissed off and speaks yet again
CS: “ON NITRO 10, TheGreatOne SHALL FACE TMWNN IN A 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH! The winner shall be on the active X-WCW Roster….the loser…WILL STAY ON THE DEVELOPMENTAL TERRITORY! Now guys…SEND THESE KIDS OUT OF RINGSIDE!”
CS slams the mic in rage as he watches TGO and TMWNN being escorted to the backstage. CS shakes his head in disapproval of their actions as X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
LotR II Second Round Match
Sci-Fi Man vs Powermaster
“Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” hits, and Sci Fi Man appears on stage to a good face pop.
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring Second Round Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Seattle, Washington, he is one half of The Final Frontier – SCI FI MAN!”
The cheering continues as SFM makes his way to the ring. Then “Wolfpac” hits, and Powermaster makes his entrance to a positive audience response.
TH: “And his opponent: from parts unknown, representing nTo White – POWERMASTER!”
Powermaster approaches the ring, and once he enters it, the bell rings to start the match.
JR: “Just look at the size difference between these two. There’d have to be at least 80 pounds’ difference!”
RK: “This is a potential Mismatch of the Year candidate!”
Sure enough, SFM is overmatched in the strength department: both men tie up, but PM throws SFM to the mat as if he were a small child. Undeterred by this, SFM rolls over backwards and stands up, only to be grabbed by his right arm and whipped into the back right corner.
SFM turns around to be met with not one, not two, but three consecutive knee lifts, and having knocked the wind out of SFM, PM sizes him up – with a crotch chop – and hits a hard back elbow on SFM. Dazed from the impact, SFM stumbles out of the corner, only for PM to catch him and hit a hard side slam on him. PM goes for the pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “A bit early, I’d say.”
PM allows SFM to get to his feet before whipping him into the right ropes. On the rebound, PM attempts a boot to the face, but SFM catches PM’s right foot, tripping PM up and locking him in a half crab!
JR: “That was a VERY clever reversal for Sci Fi Man!”
RK: “But he seems to forget just how tall and flexible Powermaster is! He’s reaching for the ropes already!”
After a few moments, PM gets to the front ropes, clutching the bottom one and forcing SFM to break the hold.
SFM allows PM to rise, before grabbing his left arm and locking it in an arm wrench, causing PM to bend down. After a few seconds, SFM releases it, then he rebounds off the left rope and delivers a nasty axe kick to the back of PM’s neck, bringing him to the mat.
SFM turns PM over and goes for a pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. Powermaster throws him off!”
JR: “With authority, I might add!”
PM gets up, and as SFM goes to punch him, PM blocks it. PM then slaps his other hand on SFM’s throat, lifting him up into a stiff chokeslam!
RK: “Oh my God! Where did THAT come from?”
JR: “It just goes to show that Powermaster is only ever a chokeslam or a powerbomb away from winning a match, try as one might! And he’s going for a pinfall!”
RK: “1…. 2…. Sci Fi Man grabs the rope!”
JR: “A lucky break for him there!”
PM allows SFM to get up once more, whipping him to the front ropes. After SFM rebounds, PM tries to level him with a clothesline, but the running SFM ducks it.
This time, though, SFM does not rebound off the back ropes. He turns around, only to be met by PM’s hand. PM goes for another chokeslam, but SFM hits a drop kick in mid-air, bringing PM down!
JR: “WOW! That knocked the wind out of both men!”
RK: “For once, I’m in full agreement with you!”
Both men lay motionless on the mat for about 15 seconds. SFM is the first to move, rolling into a pinning position.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Powermaster got his shoulder up at the last moment!”
After a few more seconds, both men get up. PM stays in the middle of the ring, and SFM moves to the front left corner. SFM charges at PM, but PM catches him with a hard powerslam. Once PM stands again, he makes a Wolfpac-style gesture.
JR: “That’s it! He wants to end this!”
RK: “One powerbomb coming up!”
PM waits for SFM to stand up, and then he kicks SFM to the groin, setting him up for the big powerbomb. He lifts SFM into position, but with a sudden burst of energy, SFM is able to reverse the move into a hurricanranna! He hooks both of PM’s legs and goes for the pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! I don’t believe it!”
JR: “It’s a true David and Goliath scenario here! This has to be one of the biggest upsets I’ve ever witnessed in my many years in the business!”
The bell rings, and PM is in shock.
TH: “Here’s your winner – SCI FI MAN!”
The crowd cheers this most unlikely of victories. As PM leaves the ring in disbelief, Autobot Jazz makes his way out to the ring to congratulate his tag team partner.
JR: “That proves that anything can – and usually does – happen in X-WCW, Ladies and Gentlemen.”
RK: “And there’s more to come!”
Backstage
We see Flash Stryker making his way down to the corridors of the backstage area before he stops. CR is seen blocking his way with a mic on his hands.
CR: “Hey Flash, can we get a few words from you before you head for your match?”
FS: “Sure, uhm…what is it?”
CR: “What IS the thing that Eamon gave to you? A new…sound?”
FS: “Well…its just something between me and Eamon ok? He and I are a good friends so he did me a favor tonight…you just have to go find it out yourself ok?”
F-S passes Cole Ryan by as we go back to the ringside area.
X-WCW TV Championship
Tidal vs Styker(c)
Tidal’s usual entry spectacle occurs, then “Boiler” hits, and Tidal makes his way onto the stage, receiving a loud showed of boos in the process.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW TV Championship! Introducing first: from England – TIDAL!”
The booing continues as Tidal approaches the ring.
A few moments later, a new entrance theme – “Speedway” by Prodigy – plays, and Flash Stryker appears on the stage to a loud ovation.
JR: "Well, it sounds like Flash has got new music!"
RK: "Oh jeez. I wonder why?"
JR: "Curb your sarcasm, Randal! Do you want the PTC and the FCC on our backs again?"
RK: "Sorry James!"
TH: “And his opponent: from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, he is the X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
Stryker makes his way to the ring, giving his belt to the referee upon his ring entrance.
Once the bell rings, Stryker holds his hand out in a gesture of sportsmanship, but Tidal simply flattens him with a hard boot to the face. Tidal goes for a pinfall right off the bat.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “That would’ve been the fastest pin in X-WCW history if Stryker hadn’t kicked out!”
Stryker – still smarting from the impact – gets to his feet slowly, but Tidal gets back on the offensive right away. He whips Stryker into the back ropes, and on the rebound, he floors Stryker again with a hard haymaker to the jaw. Tidal follows this up with a hard elbow drop right to Stryker’s throat, then he goes for another pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Tidal is a man possessed! He just wants to pound on Stryker until there’s nothing left to pound! Perhaps Wolfang had a hand in this mad dog mentality of his!”
JR: “You may be right about that!”
RK: “Speak of the devil, here he comes now!”
Sure enough, Wolfang appears on the stage, and he sits down. Back in the ring, Tidal has brought Stryker to his feet again, and he lifts him into a cross body hold position before slamming him into the back right corner. Once Stryker falls to the mat, Tidal picks him up and stands him in the corner, unleashing a big punch combination on the winded Stryker.
After about a dozen blows, Tidal whips Stryker out of the corner, but with a sudden energy burst, Stryker is able to reverse it, sending Tidal into the front left corner. Stryker capitalises on this by spearing Tidal in the corner, with a few shoulder charges thrown in for good measure.
Slightly stunned by this, Tidal drops to his knees, and Stryker runs back to the opposing corner. Stryker goes for a baseball slide to Tidal’s knees, but Tidal rolls to his right, causing Stryker to hit the turn post and hurt his legs.
RK: “Ouch! No matter how fast and tough you are, that hurts like hell!”
JR: “And knowing Tidal, we can expect him to go straight to work on those aching legs!”
Of course, Tidal slips out of the ring, and sure enough, he grabs Stryker by the feet, pulling him crotch-first into the turn post and locking him in a figure four leg lock!
JR: “This is too much! This is adding insult to injury!”
RK: “And it looks like Wolfang’s about to make his move!”
Wolfang gets up and makes his way to the ring, but instead of attacking his rival Tidal, he enters the ring and hits a quick leg drop on Stryker! The referee calls for the bell.
JR: “MY GOD! I thought he was going after Tidal!”
RK: “You’re forgetting one crucial thing: the title changes hands on a DQ, and if he’d attacked Tidal, Tidal would’ve become the new champ!”
JR: “Of course. You’ve got me on that one!”
RK: “So no new TV will be awarded tonight!”
As Tidal breaks his hold on Stryker’s legs, Wolfang stands up and baits Tidal to enter the ring. Stryker is still hurting, but the referee gives him back his belt nonetheless.
TH: “Here’s your winner, as a result of a disqualification, and STILL the X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
Stryker slips out of the ring with his belt, and Tidal storms into it. A wild brawl breaks out between Wolfang and Tidal, and after about ten seconds, a number of security guards come in to break it up!
JR: “Good God Almighty! There are still MANY unresolved issues between these two!”
RK: “You have a great gift for understatement, you know that?”
JR: “Thanks – I think.”
RK: “More in a moment!”
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.”
CS stomps down on X while the referee tries in vain to make CS go back to his corner. CS grabs X by the head and tosses him to the outside. Cyberstrike slides to the outside and follows X. All four men are now on the outside! Cyberstrike and Xille are exchanging blows while both D-Ex and Igz are slowly getting to their feet. D-Ex is the first man to get on his feet and he sends Igz face first into the crowd barrier. Igz is down and D-Ex slides back into the ring.
JR: “D-Extreme is back in the ring while Xille is still fighting with Cyberstrike outside the ring.”
RK: “Boy I tell you JR, I think Xille better figure out WHO is the legal man right now. If he doesn’t, then I guess the titles will be DENIED for the X and his partner, HAHAHAH!!!”
Xille takes CS down with a enzugiri and gets himself back to the ring as the ref counted to 8. D-Ex is there to greet him with some stomps to the body before getting X up. Xille reverses an Irish whip from D-Ex and takes the big man down with a hurracanrana. The crowd goes wild as X signals for the Last Mile.
JR: “I think this match will be over in a second, King! X bounces off the ropes and…OH NO! CYBERSTRIKE! DAMN HIM!! DAMN HIM!!!”
CS grabs X by the legs and trips him. X crashes face first into the mat as CS climbs back to the apron and extends his hand to D-Ex. D-Ex is on his feet and he tags out to his partner. D-Ex and CS pick up Xille and whip him to the ropes. D-Ex and CS goes for a double back body drop on X but he somehow pulls off a dual dropkick that sends both men staggering near the ropes. Just as D-Ex and CS lean on the ropes, Igz; standing on that side of the ring, pulls down the top rope to send both men to the outside.
JR: “CS and D-Ex have been taken to the outside by that dual dropkick. Default is really showing the fans how good they work together here.”
RK: “For two guys who were lazy enough to forget their tickets to Japan for our last show, they made it up with this good performance so far. Well look what we have here, JR!”
Ignavus and Xille wait for D-Ex and CS to get up before they launch themselves off the ring. D-Ex and CS see them launching themselves from the ring and hide their faces to prepare for the worse. The two men of Default, however, just lands on the apron and deliver a kick to the faces of D-Ex and CS instead. Both men get stunned by the kicks and it gives Xille and Igz ample time to deliver stereo Asai Moonsault on their opponents.
JR: “Shades of Ultimo Dragon there as both members of Default takes them down with a springboard moonsault off the apron!”
RK: “Call that impressive? I think Ultimo is proud to see two men do that move at the same time….or he is just busy polishing his dragon scale masks…I dunno.”
The fans are on their feet as Default slide back into the ring and give each other the high five after pulling off that top rope move. Both D-Ex and CS get to their feet outside and do not look pleased by this. D-Ex nods as he goes over to the apron and call out Default. While D-Ex has Default’s attention, we see CS sneaking in the ring to grab Ignavus and tossing him over the ropes. Xille notices Igz is gone but is too late as CS hits a hard throat thrust to take him down.
JR: “That was one hard thrust to the throat delivered there by Cyberstrike.”
CS picks up Xille and delivers a couple of chops to the chest. He backs Xille to the corner and delivers a couple of hard haymakers to the head of Xille. He places the groggy Xille to sit on the top turnbuckle as he stands on the second ropes. Cyberstrike locks on the front face lock before he sends Xille down to the mat with an implant DDT from the top turnbuckle.
JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! That was just too brutal!”
RK: “That DDT there from the corner might have spelled the end for good ol’ Xille right here, JR. I don’t think he will ever get up after that.”
The crowd goes to a stunned silence after hearing that sickening thud on the mat. Cyberstrike has a smirk on his face as he hooks up X for the pin. 1….2…thr-SHOULDER UP! The fans go wild as Xille is still in this match.
RK: “WHAT IN THE?! HOW IN THE HELL DID HE EVER GET HIS ARM UP?!”
Cyberstrike is shocked that Xille got a shoulder up after that brutal move off the corner. He shakes his head and picks up Xille before he sends him to the corner. CS charges to the corner but is stopped on his tracks as X kicks him hard on the gut. Xille climbs to the second rope and he delivers a MARIO STOMP on the back of CS. CS turns around and looks furious at Xille. He runs towards Xille again but X takes him down with a flying forearm smash. Both men go down and the referee starts a 10 count.
JR: “Both men got down after that desperation move by Xille. Xille is slowly making his way to his corner as CS is getting to his feet.”
CS quickly goes to his corner and tags to D-Ex. D-Extreme notices Xille nearing his corner to tag Igz and he goes over there. Xille is closing to his corner until D-Ex grabs him by the leg and dragging him away. Xille uses both hands to push himself up and he delivers an impressive enzugiri to the face of D-Ex. D-Ex stumbles down to the mat as The X makes it to his corner and tags out to Ignavus.
JR: “What a move by Xille! He got that kick on D-Ex and just tagged out to Ignavus! Igz is here and he and X pick up the big man. They send D-Ex to the ropes and they catch him with a double superkick. X goes back to his corner as Ignavus sends D-Ex to the corner.”
RK: “Oh no…I think I know whats next here JR.”
Ignavus scratches his butt as he is on the opposite corner facing where D-Ex is. He starts to make a run for it and he connects with one of his signature moves, THE UNMOTIVATOR. D-Ex stumbles forward as Ignavus quickly goes behind D-Ex for something.
JR: “Ignavus is looking for a german suplex on the bigger opponent..AND HE PULLS IT OFF! He still has D-Ex on his grasps and he does it YET AGAIN! He is going for the third but D-Ex uses the nearby ropes to block the move.”
D-Ex uses his elbow to strike Igz in the head a couple of times for him to let go. He lets go and D-Extreme kicks him hard on the gut before placing him between his legs. D-Ex raises his hand in the air and signals for the Xtreme Factor. D-Ex lifts him up on his shoulders and is ready to send him down for the finish, but Igz hits D-Ex hard on the forehead with an elbow strike. Igz jumps down from D-Ex’s shoulder and delivers a dropkick that sends D-Ex staggering to the ropes. Igz charges at him and D-Ex sends him to the air with a back body drop. Igz, however, lands on the apron and is behind D-Extreme.
JR: “D-Extreme doesn’t know that Igz is just behind him!”
RK: “HEY D-EX!!! TURN AROUND!!!”
D-Ex turns around and he sees Igz springing from the apron to deliver a springboard crossbody. D-Ex somehow catches the almighty slacker and takes him down to the mat with a fallaway slam. D-Ex imitates the pose of one Razor Ramon and the crowd boos him for it. D-Ex goes over to the corner of Xille and gives him a slap. It riles Xille up and The X enters the ring in full throttle. However, the referee stops him and tells him to get back to his corner. While the ref’s back is turned, CS goes in the ring and he and D-Ex pulls Igz back on his feet. CS whips Igz towards the ropes as D-Ex bounces off the other side of the ropes. Igz gets caught with an inverted atomic drop by CS and D-Ex follows it up with a running big boot on Igz.
JR: “BAH GAWD! What an impressive double team maneuver delivered there by the tag team champs! CS connected with that inverted atomic drop and a big boot was followed by D-Ex!”
RK: “They told me that they have been working on a new tag team finisher”
CS goes back to his corner as the referee turns around to see D-Ex with a pin on Ignavus. The referee counts the pin 1…2…3! The bell rings and D-Ex’s arm is raised.
TH: “The winners and STILL X-WCW World Tag Team Champions…Cyberstrike and D-Extreme!!!”
Both CS and D-Ex get their belts and raise them up in victory. The tag champs are booed as they go out of the ring and make their way towards the backstage. Inside the ring, we see Xille entering and checking on his partner.
RK: “WHAT A MATCH!!! It was very hard fought from start to finish, but in the end, the champs still hold the Tag Team Title.”
JR: “By hook or by crook, they did it alright. Well this is James Russell and for Randal King, we will see you next time!”
X-WCW goes off-air as the champs pose on the stage with the belts.
CD: “WELCOME TO X-WCW!!!”
The boos turn into cheers for the crowd as Cane welcomes them to the show.
CD: “Tonight, will be the night for the Lord of the Ring quarter finals. The remaining 8 men shall be competing here tonight and 4 men will advance to go on to the semi finals at Nitro 10. Not only that, but tonight, we will have a TV Title match between Flash Stryker and Tidal. If those matches haven’t made you Japanese fans here happy, the TAG TEAM TITLES will be ON THE LINE as Cyberstrike and D-Extreme face…Default. Now lets start Warzone’s 20th episode with a BANG!”
JR: “I wonder how he can do that, King.”
RK: “Maybe he has a big surprise for us, JR. Whatever it is, it might be big.”
TH: “The following match is a LotR second round match and it is scheduled for one fall!”
LotR II Second Round Match
Divebomb vs Damien
“Cowboys from hell” by Pantera plays as Damien walks into the ringside area.
TH: “Introducing first, DAMIEN!!!”
The fans give Damien a light cheer as he makes his way down the aisle.
JR: “Here is Damien, ladies and gentlemen. Damien defeated Raven Darkstorm last Warzone to advance to the second round.”
RK: “The kids got potential, JR. Tonight, he will face one of the toughest challenge in his career, Divebomb.”
Damien enters the ring and poses for the crowd before he waits for his opponent. “Warriors of the world united” plays and out comes Divebomb.
TH: “And his opponent, DIVEBOMB!!!”
Divebomb walks down the ramp as the fans pour on the boos. He ignores the booing and the jeering as he makes his way to the ring.
JR: “Divebomb looks serious tonight, King. This man is out to prove to everyone that he deserves the UW Title.”
RK: “He wants his title back and in a bad way, JR. If I were Damien, I rather lie down right now to be pinned instead of being broken in half by D-Bomb.”
The bell rings and Damien charges at Divebomb. DB catches Damien with a drop toehold that sends the rookie down to the canvas. Divebomb hooks up on the waist of Damien and lifts him up before taking him face first into the mat. Divebomb quickly switches with a front face lock as he gets up. Damien uses all his strength to back Divebomb to the corner while he is still locked by the front face lock. The referee breaks it up and Divebomb raises his hands to tell the ref its ok. Divebomb quickly kicks Damien on the gut as Damien backed up.
JR: “What a cheap shot there by DB.”
RK: “The momentum is still with the former UW champ, JR. He is just toying with this kid right now.”
Divebomb grabs Damien and sends him shoulder first into the ring post. DB schoolboys Damien for the early pin but Damien kicks out at 2. Damien is up and he delivers a face rake on DB. He hits a couple of kicks to the mid-section of DB before he sends him to the ropes. Damien goes for the back body drop but DB gets to his feet behind Damien and takes Damien down with a sidewalk slam. DB bounces off the ropes and connects with a leg drop on Damien.
JR: “Divebomb hits a vicious legdrop on Damien. That has to damage the throat of Damien.”
RK: “Obviously, it does. Now you know why Hogan does that as his finisher? Its effective!”
Divebomb shouts at Damien to get up while Damien is coughing hard after that leg drop on his throat. Damien slowly gets up and is helped by DB. DB hits a throat thrust to Damien to aggravate the damage caused by the leg drop earlier. Damien staggers to the ropes and DB clotheslines Damien to the outside.
JR: “Damien is sent to the outside by Divebomb. Divebomb is on the outside right now and he stomps down on the newcomer, Damien.”
Divebomb lifts Damien and tosses him face first into the steel steps. DB picks up Damien and rolls him back into the ring. Before Divebomb gets in, he turns around to shout at a fan who was heckling him. DB gets inside the ring and waits for Damien to get up.
RK: “Damien is getting up, but Divebomb is just measuring him up right now. I think THE END is near for Damien.”
Damien is on his feet and he turns around only to get hard kick to the gut by Divebomb. Divebomb has Damien on his grasps and he delivers THE END to Damien.
JR: “Youre right, King. THE END connects on Damien and he pins him…1….2…3! The match is over and Divebomb advances to the next round.”
TH: “The winner by pinfall….DIVEBOMB!!!”
Divebomb’s music hits the speakers as the referee tries to raise his hand. Divebomb shakes his hand off his as he gets up on his feet. Divebomb raises his arms in victory as the Saitama crowd can do nothing but boo him. Divebomb slides out of the ring and he makes his way to the backstage area as we go back to the announce table.
JR: “That sure was a quick match to kick off Warzone.”
RK: “It was quick since Divebomb was facing someone who was NOT in his league. It was a squash, JR, and there is nothing more to say about it. Damien was a very unfortunate kid to be facing a guy like Divebomb.”
JR: “Don’t go away folks, Warzone will be back right after these messages.”
Backstage
Warzone goes back after the commercial break to see Cole Ryan standing by with Judge Death.
CR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to X-WCW Warzone! Up next we will have the match between Judge Death and Jeff Jarrett. JD, you did tell us a few days back that Jarrett will be facing the unstoppable. Why did you refer to yourself with such a word?”
JD thinks for a while before he answers the question.
JD: “You have to look at it thisss way Cole. I will not ssstand down to Jarrett or the ressstt of the nTo guysss. Red or White, male or female, vertebrate…or invertebrate…I ssshall deliver punisshhment to those who desserve it. Jarrett, tonight, you will be punissshed for your crimesss. I am the judge, jury and yesss…the executioner.”
Judge Death glares at the camera for a while before he looks back at Cole. He nudges him and cackles
JD: “Get it?.j’'udge, jury, executioner’? Itsss like I’m 3 in one here. Hehehe!”
CR: “Uhm..yeah…back to you guys.”
We go back to ringside.
RK: “I don’t think Cole got the joke, JR. Well, atleast I got it. Hahaha! What a joker that guy is, even though he is so thin and frail,he can make my sides split.”
LotR II Second Round Match
Judge Death vs Jeff Jarrett
“My world” hits the speakers as Jarrett enters the ringside area wearing an nTo red t-shirt. He raises his guitar in the air as TH introduces him.
TH: “Introducing first, from Nashville Tenesse, JEFF JARRETT!”
Jarrett continues to raise his guitar while going down the ramp. The Saitama crowd greets the nTo member with a chorus of boos on his way down the ramp. Jarrett slides into the ring and raises the guitar into the air once more.
JR: “Jarrett defeated Tidal to advance last Warzone. Just like Tidal, Judge Death would prove to be a very powerful opponent for the chosen one.”
RK: “No matter how much you can say JD is a skinny turd, he does have the strength to lift guys twice his size, JR. In the end, I think Jarrett can win this by using his experience. If he cant, theres always his guitar to let him get this victory.”
“Out Of The Silent Planet” by Iron Maiden blares through the sound systems as Judge Death enters the entrance.
TH: “And his opponent, JUDGE DEATH!!!”
JD slowly walks down the ramp but he stops for a while.
RK: “What in the blue hell is he doing?! Hes infront of a crowd here dammit! Someone think of the children!”
JD grunts as he scratches his nether regions for a while. He stops scratching and resumes walking down the aisle. The crowd gives JD a mixed reaction as he is making his way to the ring. JD takes off his big helmet and places it on the steel steps before he enters the ring. The camera gets a shot of the crowd and we see a sign saying “BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY…YOU SKINNY TURD!”.
JR: “It seems like JD had his birthday recently. So Judge Death, belated happy birthday from the X-WCW and its staff.”
RK: “I think his b-day wish this year is to fatten himself a bit. Man, I don’t think his mother feeds him that much.”
The bell rings as Jarrett quickly runs towards JD. JD scouts him and ducks a clothesline. JD delivers a couple of quick jabs to the face of Jarrett before he sends him to the ropes. Jarrett takes JD down with a shoulder charge on the way back. JD gets up as Jarrett bounces off the ropes yet again to take him down with a bulldog.
JR: “Jarrett takes JD down with the bulldog face crusher. Double J is certainly starting off the right note here if he wants to get a win over JD. Jarrett picks up Judge Death but JD delivers an eye poke to take Jarrett aback. JD kicks Double J hard on the gut and scoops him up for a body slam.”
JD slams Double J down hard on the mat. Judge Death goes to the apron and he seems to be going to the top rope. However, as he climbs up, he slips and falls down to the outside.
RK: “HAHAHA! Would you look at that JR, the skinny turd slipped and fell! Oh this is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!”
JR: “Oh shut up King. Inside the ring we can see Jarrett getting to his feet. Right now, I think he doesn’t know where the blazes JD might be right now.”
Jarrett looks where JD might be as we see JD sliding back into the ring. JD stands behind Jarrett and waits for him to turn around. Jarrett finally sees JD but it was too late as JD hits a hard headbutt on Jarrett. Jarrett staggers backwards before JD hooks Jarrett’s arms and deliver a triple-Al Snow-esique headbutt combination. Double J goes down and JD pins him.
JR: “Judge Death covers Jeff Jarrett for the pin 1…2..Kickout by Jarrett. JD gets up and grabs Jarrett by the head.”
JD has Jarrett with a side headlock as he pours on the punches over the head of Double J. With Jarrett still in his clutches, JD bounces off the ropes and delivers a bulldog. JD gets up and waits for Jarrett to get up.
JR: “Judge Death is just stalking Jarrett right now. Double J is slowly getting to his feet now as Judge Death waits for him accordingly.”
Judge Death sizes Jarrett up before he locks on a sleeper hold. He goes for his submission finisher called ‘hard to swallow’ on Jarrett, but Jarrett grabs the arm that was going to his mouth to stop the move. Judge Death struggles to put it in the mouth of Double J, but in the end, Jarrett sneaks in a low blow to Judge Death to let him go.
JR: “Jarrett just kicked JD below the belt! Someone disqualify him!”
RK: “What are you talking about?! I didn’t see anything.”
JD is on his knees as Jarrett goes to the nearest corner to catch his breath. Jarrett walks towards JD after a while and picks him up. Jarrett scores a couple of solid rights to the face of JD before he sends him off to the ropes. JD slides between the legs of Jarrett on the rebound as Jarrett tries to clothesline him. JD bounces off the other side and slides on his knees to deliver a throat thrust on Jarrett. Double J goes down as JD gets up and waits for him to get up.
JR: “Jarrett is on his feet and JD grabs him by the throat.”
RK: “I sense a chokeslam coming up, JR!”
JD delivers a chokeslam on Jarrett and the crowd goes nuts for JD. JD gets up and drags Jarrett to the other side. Judge Death slowly goes to the top rope and launches himself with a top rope leg drop. The leg drop connects and he pins Jarrett.
JR: “Judge Death goes for the pin..1…2…NO! Jarrett gets a shoulder up.”
Judge Death gets up and argues with the referee with the count. He sighs before he picks up Jarrett. Jarrett takes him by surprise with a couple of kicks to the mid-section. Jarrett bounces off the ropes and takes JD down with a clothesline. JD gets up and Jarrett quickly grabs him to take him down with a vertical suplex.
JR: “What an elevation there on that suplex delivered by Double J.”
RK: “Jarrett is one of the best wrestlers in this business….course he can make a lot of good moves.”
Jarrett picks up JD and goes to his side. Jarrett quickly connects with THE STROKE
JR: “THE STROKE! Jarrett just blasted Judge Death with the stroke”
RK: “I think its all over for JD”
Jarrett pins JD and the referee goes for the count. However, the referee does not count the pin since JD has his foot on the bottom rope. Jarrett gets up and doesn’t look too pleased with it. He picks up Judge Death but JD takes him by surprise with a roll up. The referee counts the pin, but Jarrett kicks out at two.
RK: “Man, Judge Death was THIS close to winning the match. You have no idea how lucky he would have been, JR.”
Both men get up and JD charges at Jarrett for a flying crossbody. Jarrett sidesteps and the referee is caught in that flying crossbody of JD. Both the referee and Judge Death are down on the mat as Jarrett is just puzzled on how the referee got there. He shakes his head before he goes to the outside.
JR: “Jarrett goes to the outside and…OH NO!”
RK: “OH YES!!!”
Jarrett grabs his guitar and slides into the ring with it. Judge Death gets to his feel slowly and turns around to see Jarrett wielding the guitar. Muttering, ‘oh no…’, Judge Death gets blasted over the head with the guitar. JD also burps before he falls down. Jarrett covers his nose due to the awful smell of rotten eggs under the breath of JD. Jarrett tosses the broken guitar to the outside and covers JD as the referee gets up.
JR: “The referee sees the pin being made…1….2…3! Damn you Jarrett…damn you, you did it again!”
RK: “AINT HE GREAT?! Hahaha”
TH: “The winner of this match…JEFF JARRETT!!!”
Jarrett slides out of the ring and celebrates his victory. The fans boo him heavily as he walks back up the ramp and heads to the backstage area. However, he gets stopped on his tracks as he looks at the WARtron to see Judge Death sitting up and looking at him.
RK: "What in the...that skinny turd got up that easy?!"
JR: "Well...I dont know how he did that King. But I do know this...WARZONE WILL BE BACK AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK!"
We go to a breif commercial break.
LotR II Second Round Match
Eamon X vs Ryan X
JR: “Before we get to this next match, here’s an interview that Eamon X gave to our own Cole Ryan earlier today!”
RK: “Wake me when it’s over, will you?”
Earlier Today
Cole Ryan is with Eamon X in the backstage area.
CR: “So tell me, Eamon X: what’s the deal with you and Flash Stryker?”
EX: “Well, we both have similar tastes in music, and considering the issues surrounding the guy who sings his regular theme – you all know who he is – I thought I’d lend him something appropriate from my own collection.”
CR: “What might that be?”
EX: “You’ll find out.”
CR: “OK. And as for tonight’s match with Ryan X?”
EX: “I had a hand in training him, so not only do I know his strengths, but I also have an intimate knowledge of his weaknesses. It should still be a good match, though, and woe betide ANYONE from nTo Red who interferes with it!”
CR: “Sounds like a plan.”
EX: “I ALWAYS have a plan for things such as that. Excuse me!”
EX leaves, and Cole is perplexed.
Live Action
“American Idiot” hits the PA system, and Ryan X makes his entrance to a warm audience response.
RK: “Well, James, should I call this a ‘Battle of the X’s’?”
JR: “Don’t let me stop you, Randal.”
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring Second Round Match, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Toronto, Ontario, Canada – RYAN X!”
The cheers continue as Ryan X makes his way to the ring.
Then the arena darkens, and “Break & Enter” hits. Once the pyrotechnic explosion hits, the lights return, and Eamon X stands on the stage. The cheer is thunderous.
TH: “His opponent: a native of Sydney, Australia – EAMON X!”
Eamon X makes his way to the ring. Once both men are inside, they shake hands, and the bell rings to begin the match.
After stalking each other around the ring for about ten seconds, both men tie up in the middle. EX quickly gains the strength advantage, throwing Ryan to the mat. However, Ryan doesn’t stay down for long: he gets up, and they tie up again, only to yield an identical result.
EX allows Ryan to get up again, but this time, EX tries to whip Ryan into the back right corner. Ryan reverses this, though, sending EX face first into the turnbuckles.
EX shakes it off, but as he turns to face his opponent, Ryan charges at him, hitting a big corner splash on EX. He then goes for another corner splash, with similar success.
However, when Ryan goes for his third splash, EX stands straight up, catching Ryan in a bear hug predicament. EX walks into the centre of the ring, dropping Ryan into a Kurrgan Shuffle-style slam! EX goes for the first pinfall attempt of the match.
RK: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “Eamon X may be 40 pounds lighter these days, but he’s lost none of his strength or intensity!”
EX allows Ryan to get up, and once he does, EX grabs Ryan by his left arm, dropping him into a single arm DDT. EX gets up, rebounding off the back ropes and attempting a leg drop to the back of Ryan’s neck, but Ryan rolls out of the way, causing EX to fall awkwardly on his backside.
RK: “He’s a pain in the ass…. in more ways than one! HA!”
JR: “You’re just bitter because he’s won more titles in 2 years than you won in 10, aren’t you?”
With EX smarting from his landing, Ryan seizes the opportunity to try to end the match. He stands up, grabbing EX by his legs and locking him in the Canadian Crippler!
RK: “This could be it!”
JR: “I strongly doubt that! They’re WAY too close to the ropes!”
Sure enough, after about 20 seconds in the hold, EX is able to move into position to reach the bottom left rope, breaking the hold.
Undaunted by this, Ryan allows EX to get up, before walking up behind him and hitting a hangman’s neckbreaker on him! Ryan goes for a pinfall of his own.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “It takes MUCH more than that to beat Eamon X!”
RK: “Well, duh.”
JR: “Stop it.”
EX gets up, and Ryan continues his assault. As EX turns to face Ryan again, Ryan hits him with a stiff Enziguri kick, but this does not bring EX to the mat. And as Ryan faces EX again, EX replies with a kick to the gut, followed by a hanging vertical suplex! EX goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Ryan X will be a big star in this company if he keeps up this level of resilience!”
Ryan gets up, and EX whips him to the right ropes. Ryan tries a running boot to the face on the rebound, but EX ducks it, and as both men turn to face each other again, EX brings Ryan to the mat with a stiff running clothesline.
JR: “That’s one of the best clotheslines in the business right there!”
RK: “By the way, did you know that the Hills Hoist clothesline also came from Australia?”
JR: “Yes, I know that!”
RK: “But I’ll bet these idiots in the crowd didn’t! They’d rather cheer Eamon X than actually learn something!”
Of course, the crowd is cheering for EX, who sits Ryan up and hits a flipover neck whip on him. And as Ryan is on the mat smarting from this, EX takes to the front left turnbuckles in readiness for a high-risk manoeuvre.
Once Ryan gets up, EX hits a bionic elbow on Ryan, bringing him down again. He then follows this up with a leg lock chokehold!
JR: “My God! What an unexpected move this is!”
RK: “But they’re both very close to the ropes again! Come on, Ryan X! Eamon X has enough tackle dummies as it is!”
After 30 seconds, Ryan is able to turn toward the right ropes, putting his left foot on the bottom rope and breaking the hold.
As both men get to their feet, two familiar faces appear on the stage: Cyberstrike and D-Extreme. Both of them are carrying chairs.
JR: “What the hell are THEY doing here?”
RK: “I don’t know, but it can’t be good news for either man in that squared circle at the moment!”
But instead of running to the stage, both nTo Red members unfold their chairs and sit down, apparently to watch the match.
And in the ring, EX and Ryan are tied up in the centre again. Once more, EX is quick to gain the strength advantage, throwing Ryan down yet again. EX rebounds off the back ropes, but this time he hits a most unexpected move on Ryan: Road Dogg’s Crazylegs Knee Drop!
This solicits a HUGE cheer from the crowd, and EX goes for a pinfall!
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “It’s not over just yet, but Cyberstrike and D-Extreme might just change that equation! And it’s NOT a No DQ match, by the way!”
Sure enough, the nTo Red members have folded up their chairs and made their way to the ring. As this happens, EX brings Ryan to his feet again, and he attempts another whip to the back ropes, where Cyberstrike is waiting. However, Ryan reverses the whip, and as soon as EX hits the ropes, Cyberstrike hits EX right in the face with the chair!
The referee calls for the bell.
JR: “HELL NO! Not like this! NOT LIKE THIS!”
RK: “Oh shut up! Eamon X still won, so I’d stop complaining if I were you!”
TH: “Here’s your winner, as a result of a disqualification – EAMON X!”
D-Extreme enters the ring, hitting Ryan with the chair and tossing him out of the ring. Both men turn their attention to the downed EX, hitting him several times each with their chairs.
RK: “That’s what you get for crossing the boss!”
JR: “Way to go, guys. Hit him when he’s down.”
The boos from the crowd turn into cheers when A.J.Styles and Christopher Daniels – from the nTo White faction – run to the ring. Both men mount the front left and right turnbuckles, and once Cyberstrike and D-Extreme turn around, Styles and Daniels hit stereo dropkicks on them!
JR: “That’s more like it! Go get ‘em!”
RK: “Oh, knock it off!”
As the nTo Red and White members square off in the ring, EX comes to his senses and gets up. At the same time, Cane Deathscream makes his way through the crowd in an attempt to sneak attack EX.
Styles calls “Behind you!” to EX once CD enters the ring, and EX turns in time to nail the charging CD with a thunderous X-Blast! And with all 3 nTo Red members downed in the ring, EX gives the nTo White members the thumbs up before shaking their hands.
JR: “That’s better!”
RK: “Whatever. We’ll be back in a moment!”
TheGreatOne vs
JR: “Welcome back to Warzone folks. For the past few weeks, we've been seeing promos for a young new wrestler who is calling himself The Great One. He looks like a fine addition to the X-WCW roster, and tonight he gets his big chance.”
RK: “What we don't know is who his opponent will be. He issued an open challenge to X-WCW Commisioner Cane Deathscream to book him in a match with anyone on the roster. Who was chosen for the match?”
JR: “I don't know. Whoever it is will be a real test of The Great One's abilities. And that is going to start right now.”
Bad Company hits while some pyro goes off. TGO then emerges from the back. He is given a moderate reception as he walks down to the ring.
TH: “The following match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from Greenland, The Great One.”
TGO makes enters the ring and stands on the rope in one of the turnbuckles. He lifts his arms as if showing off his greatness.
RK: “He looks like an excellent wrestler.”
JR: “Looks are one thing, let's see how he handles in the ring. I'm itchin' to find out who his opponent is.”
"I am it!"
"Tear Away" hits as Rage makes his way to the ring, greeted by a chorus of boos.
JR: “Bah God! His opponent is R.E Rage.”
TH: “And his opponent, R.E. Rage.”
The fans give R.E. Rage the loudest boos audible from here to the outside of the Tokyo streets as he makes his way down the aisle.
RK: “This match is going to be amazing, James.”
The bell rings and the two men lock up in the center of the ring. Rage knocks TGO to the ground, but he quickly gets up. Rage grabs him and whips him to the ropes. TGO bounces off the ropes and responds with a punch to Rage. Rage connects with several punches again and whips TGO to the corner. Rage mounts the second turn buckle and proceeds to pound TGO. Rage gets down and throws TGO to the ground.
JR: “Rage goes for the cover 1,2, kick out by TGO.”
RK: “Rage was just messing with him. This will be over quickly.”
JR: “Don't be so quick Randall, this kid looks like he ain't gonna give up so easily.”
Rage pulls TGO up again and tries to whip him into the corner again, but TGO reverses it and
follows Rage to deliver a shoulder to the gut of Rage.
JR: “Good reversal by the newcomer, The Great One. He's building momentum. And TGO grabs Rage and delivers a devastating suplex. What power by the challenger!”
RK: “Just luck. That's all.”
TGO pulls Rage up, but is greeted with a fist to the jaw. Rage deliers a roundhouse kick to TGO. He then goes for a cover.
JR: “1, 2.. and TGO gets the shoulder up. This match isn't over yet.”
RK: “Slow count. Come on ref. Do your job right!”
JR: “Both men are up, and TGO has puts a knee in Rage's gut. And TGO connects with a DDT. 1, 2,.. that was close, but Rage gets the shoulder up.”
TGO kicks Rage several times to keep him down. TGO grabs Ragels leg and applies an ankle lock.
JR: “And TGO has the ankle lock applied on Rage. Rage isn't giving up though. HE's moving toward the rope.”
Rage crawls slowly toward the rope. The pressure from the ankle lock is wearing on him. The ref is asking him if he wants to give up. He finally makes it to the rope. The ref begins to administer the five count to TGO. TGO breaks off his submission hold at 4. Rage gets up, clerly suffering from the ankle lock. TGO dives and hits the already injured leg of Rage.
JR: “And TGO is chopping the leg of Rage. Keeping the powerhouse Rage down is definitely a great idea.”
RK: “I'll give him that. Keeping Rage down is good.”
Rage gets back up. TGO attepmts to kick, but Rage grabs the leg and reverses with a stiff enziguri. Even with the pain in his foot, he crawls for a cover, but TGO counts out at 2. TGO is the first to his feet. He grabs Rage and throws him into the corner and connects with another shoulder. TGO sits Rage on the top rope. Rage manages to kick TGO out of the way and to the ground. Rage flies from the top rope and connects with an elbow drop. Rage gets uo, but has difficulty doing so. He makes his way slowly over to the TGO and goes for a pin.
JR: “Looks like it's over. 1,2..no! TGO gets the shoulder up.”
Rage goes for the pin again with the same result.
RK: “This new kid is an idiot. Rage is just gonna hurt him even more.”
Rage pulls TGO up and throws him to the corner. He sits TGO up on the top rope and climbs up.
JR: “And Rage goes up for a devastating top rope maneuver.”
RK: “Looks like this kid just blew his chance to impress. Now Rage is put him out of his misery.”
Rage sets him up for a powerful drop. But TGO hits Rage in the gut. He grabs Rage and stands up on the top rope. He sets Rage up for a powerbomb. He jumps off the top rope and connects with a powerful sit down powerbomb.
JR: “Bah God! A powerbomb from the top rope. What power.”
RK: “This can't be.”
JR: “He goes for a cover. 1..2..3. He did it. The Great One defeated R.E. Rage.”
TH: “Here is your winner, The Great One.”
Bad Company hits and The Great One lifts stands on the ropes. He lifts his arms in victory and greatness. The crowd gives him a nice reception.
JR: “The Great One has proved himself tonight and the fans seem to like him.”
RK: “He was just lucky. Rage wasn't focused tonight.”
TheGreatOne is still celebrating his win inside the ring as “Immortal” hits the speakers.
"n...T...o"
Cyberstrike comes down the aisle as the crowd boos him on the way to the ring. He has a smug look on his face as he enters the ring with a mic on his hand. TGO notices him and stands there to hear what the nTo red leader has to say.
CS: “Congratulations kid. You won your match. But let me tell you this, it was NOT VALID. TGO, your contract with the X-WCW is STILL a developmental deal. Now I don’t know who in their right mind told you that the X-WCW called you up from the Indiana Development Territory, cause quite frankly, WE DIDN’T! So consider your match tonight, null and void.”
TheGreatOne looks puzzled as CS continues.
CS: “However…you impressed me and you also impressed the X-WCW GM. So we are giving you a chance to compete with the active X-WCW Roster. On Nitro 10….TheGreatOne will be fac-”
Cyberstrike stops as TGO gets attacked from behind by TheManWithNoName. TGO fights back TMWNN and it’s a brawl.
JR: “IT’S THE MAN WITH NO NAME!!! He is also a developmental talent, King!”
RK: “Wow, its some green guys in the ring right now, JR.”
After a few seconds, the X-WCW referees storm to ringside to break up the fight. CS looks pissed off and speaks yet again
CS: “ON NITRO 10, TheGreatOne SHALL FACE TMWNN IN A 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH! The winner shall be on the active X-WCW Roster….the loser…WILL STAY ON THE DEVELOPMENTAL TERRITORY! Now guys…SEND THESE KIDS OUT OF RINGSIDE!”
CS slams the mic in rage as he watches TGO and TMWNN being escorted to the backstage. CS shakes his head in disapproval of their actions as X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
LotR II Second Round Match
Sci-Fi Man vs Powermaster
“Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” hits, and Sci Fi Man appears on stage to a good face pop.
TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring Second Round Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: from Seattle, Washington, he is one half of The Final Frontier – SCI FI MAN!”
The cheering continues as SFM makes his way to the ring. Then “Wolfpac” hits, and Powermaster makes his entrance to a positive audience response.
TH: “And his opponent: from parts unknown, representing nTo White – POWERMASTER!”
Powermaster approaches the ring, and once he enters it, the bell rings to start the match.
JR: “Just look at the size difference between these two. There’d have to be at least 80 pounds’ difference!”
RK: “This is a potential Mismatch of the Year candidate!”
Sure enough, SFM is overmatched in the strength department: both men tie up, but PM throws SFM to the mat as if he were a small child. Undeterred by this, SFM rolls over backwards and stands up, only to be grabbed by his right arm and whipped into the back right corner.
SFM turns around to be met with not one, not two, but three consecutive knee lifts, and having knocked the wind out of SFM, PM sizes him up – with a crotch chop – and hits a hard back elbow on SFM. Dazed from the impact, SFM stumbles out of the corner, only for PM to catch him and hit a hard side slam on him. PM goes for the pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “A bit early, I’d say.”
PM allows SFM to get to his feet before whipping him into the right ropes. On the rebound, PM attempts a boot to the face, but SFM catches PM’s right foot, tripping PM up and locking him in a half crab!
JR: “That was a VERY clever reversal for Sci Fi Man!”
RK: “But he seems to forget just how tall and flexible Powermaster is! He’s reaching for the ropes already!”
After a few moments, PM gets to the front ropes, clutching the bottom one and forcing SFM to break the hold.
SFM allows PM to rise, before grabbing his left arm and locking it in an arm wrench, causing PM to bend down. After a few seconds, SFM releases it, then he rebounds off the left rope and delivers a nasty axe kick to the back of PM’s neck, bringing him to the mat.
SFM turns PM over and goes for a pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. Powermaster throws him off!”
JR: “With authority, I might add!”
PM gets up, and as SFM goes to punch him, PM blocks it. PM then slaps his other hand on SFM’s throat, lifting him up into a stiff chokeslam!
RK: “Oh my God! Where did THAT come from?”
JR: “It just goes to show that Powermaster is only ever a chokeslam or a powerbomb away from winning a match, try as one might! And he’s going for a pinfall!”
RK: “1…. 2…. Sci Fi Man grabs the rope!”
JR: “A lucky break for him there!”
PM allows SFM to get up once more, whipping him to the front ropes. After SFM rebounds, PM tries to level him with a clothesline, but the running SFM ducks it.
This time, though, SFM does not rebound off the back ropes. He turns around, only to be met by PM’s hand. PM goes for another chokeslam, but SFM hits a drop kick in mid-air, bringing PM down!
JR: “WOW! That knocked the wind out of both men!”
RK: “For once, I’m in full agreement with you!”
Both men lay motionless on the mat for about 15 seconds. SFM is the first to move, rolling into a pinning position.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Powermaster got his shoulder up at the last moment!”
After a few more seconds, both men get up. PM stays in the middle of the ring, and SFM moves to the front left corner. SFM charges at PM, but PM catches him with a hard powerslam. Once PM stands again, he makes a Wolfpac-style gesture.
JR: “That’s it! He wants to end this!”
RK: “One powerbomb coming up!”
PM waits for SFM to stand up, and then he kicks SFM to the groin, setting him up for the big powerbomb. He lifts SFM into position, but with a sudden burst of energy, SFM is able to reverse the move into a hurricanranna! He hooks both of PM’s legs and goes for the pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! I don’t believe it!”
JR: “It’s a true David and Goliath scenario here! This has to be one of the biggest upsets I’ve ever witnessed in my many years in the business!”
The bell rings, and PM is in shock.
TH: “Here’s your winner – SCI FI MAN!”
The crowd cheers this most unlikely of victories. As PM leaves the ring in disbelief, Autobot Jazz makes his way out to the ring to congratulate his tag team partner.
JR: “That proves that anything can – and usually does – happen in X-WCW, Ladies and Gentlemen.”
RK: “And there’s more to come!”
Backstage
We see Flash Stryker making his way down to the corridors of the backstage area before he stops. CR is seen blocking his way with a mic on his hands.
CR: “Hey Flash, can we get a few words from you before you head for your match?”
FS: “Sure, uhm…what is it?”
CR: “What IS the thing that Eamon gave to you? A new…sound?”
FS: “Well…its just something between me and Eamon ok? He and I are a good friends so he did me a favor tonight…you just have to go find it out yourself ok?”
F-S passes Cole Ryan by as we go back to the ringside area.
X-WCW TV Championship
Tidal vs Styker(c)
Tidal’s usual entry spectacle occurs, then “Boiler” hits, and Tidal makes his way onto the stage, receiving a loud showed of boos in the process.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW TV Championship! Introducing first: from England – TIDAL!”
The booing continues as Tidal approaches the ring.
A few moments later, a new entrance theme – “Speedway” by Prodigy – plays, and Flash Stryker appears on the stage to a loud ovation.
JR: "Well, it sounds like Flash has got new music!"
RK: "Oh jeez. I wonder why?"
JR: "Curb your sarcasm, Randal! Do you want the PTC and the FCC on our backs again?"
RK: "Sorry James!"
TH: “And his opponent: from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, he is the X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
Stryker makes his way to the ring, giving his belt to the referee upon his ring entrance.
Once the bell rings, Stryker holds his hand out in a gesture of sportsmanship, but Tidal simply flattens him with a hard boot to the face. Tidal goes for a pinfall right off the bat.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “That would’ve been the fastest pin in X-WCW history if Stryker hadn’t kicked out!”
Stryker – still smarting from the impact – gets to his feet slowly, but Tidal gets back on the offensive right away. He whips Stryker into the back ropes, and on the rebound, he floors Stryker again with a hard haymaker to the jaw. Tidal follows this up with a hard elbow drop right to Stryker’s throat, then he goes for another pin.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Tidal is a man possessed! He just wants to pound on Stryker until there’s nothing left to pound! Perhaps Wolfang had a hand in this mad dog mentality of his!”
JR: “You may be right about that!”
RK: “Speak of the devil, here he comes now!”
Sure enough, Wolfang appears on the stage, and he sits down. Back in the ring, Tidal has brought Stryker to his feet again, and he lifts him into a cross body hold position before slamming him into the back right corner. Once Stryker falls to the mat, Tidal picks him up and stands him in the corner, unleashing a big punch combination on the winded Stryker.
After about a dozen blows, Tidal whips Stryker out of the corner, but with a sudden energy burst, Stryker is able to reverse it, sending Tidal into the front left corner. Stryker capitalises on this by spearing Tidal in the corner, with a few shoulder charges thrown in for good measure.
Slightly stunned by this, Tidal drops to his knees, and Stryker runs back to the opposing corner. Stryker goes for a baseball slide to Tidal’s knees, but Tidal rolls to his right, causing Stryker to hit the turn post and hurt his legs.
RK: “Ouch! No matter how fast and tough you are, that hurts like hell!”
JR: “And knowing Tidal, we can expect him to go straight to work on those aching legs!”
Of course, Tidal slips out of the ring, and sure enough, he grabs Stryker by the feet, pulling him crotch-first into the turn post and locking him in a figure four leg lock!
JR: “This is too much! This is adding insult to injury!”
RK: “And it looks like Wolfang’s about to make his move!”
Wolfang gets up and makes his way to the ring, but instead of attacking his rival Tidal, he enters the ring and hits a quick leg drop on Stryker! The referee calls for the bell.
JR: “MY GOD! I thought he was going after Tidal!”
RK: “You’re forgetting one crucial thing: the title changes hands on a DQ, and if he’d attacked Tidal, Tidal would’ve become the new champ!”
JR: “Of course. You’ve got me on that one!”
RK: “So no new TV will be awarded tonight!”
As Tidal breaks his hold on Stryker’s legs, Wolfang stands up and baits Tidal to enter the ring. Stryker is still hurting, but the referee gives him back his belt nonetheless.
TH: “Here’s your winner, as a result of a disqualification, and STILL the X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”
Stryker slips out of the ring with his belt, and Tidal storms into it. A wild brawl breaks out between Wolfang and Tidal, and after about ten seconds, a number of security guards come in to break it up!
JR: “Good God Almighty! There are still MANY unresolved issues between these two!”
RK: “You have a great gift for understatement, you know that?”
JR: “Thanks – I think.”
RK: “More in a moment!”
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.”
CS stomps down on X while the referee tries in vain to make CS go back to his corner. CS grabs X by the head and tosses him to the outside. Cyberstrike slides to the outside and follows X. All four men are now on the outside! Cyberstrike and Xille are exchanging blows while both D-Ex and Igz are slowly getting to their feet. D-Ex is the first man to get on his feet and he sends Igz face first into the crowd barrier. Igz is down and D-Ex slides back into the ring.
JR: “D-Extreme is back in the ring while Xille is still fighting with Cyberstrike outside the ring.”
RK: “Boy I tell you JR, I think Xille better figure out WHO is the legal man right now. If he doesn’t, then I guess the titles will be DENIED for the X and his partner, HAHAHAH!!!”
Xille takes CS down with a enzugiri and gets himself back to the ring as the ref counted to 8. D-Ex is there to greet him with some stomps to the body before getting X up. Xille reverses an Irish whip from D-Ex and takes the big man down with a hurracanrana. The crowd goes wild as X signals for the Last Mile.
JR: “I think this match will be over in a second, King! X bounces off the ropes and…OH NO! CYBERSTRIKE! DAMN HIM!! DAMN HIM!!!”
CS grabs X by the legs and trips him. X crashes face first into the mat as CS climbs back to the apron and extends his hand to D-Ex. D-Ex is on his feet and he tags out to his partner. D-Ex and CS pick up Xille and whip him to the ropes. D-Ex and CS goes for a double back body drop on X but he somehow pulls off a dual dropkick that sends both men staggering near the ropes. Just as D-Ex and CS lean on the ropes, Igz; standing on that side of the ring, pulls down the top rope to send both men to the outside.
JR: “CS and D-Ex have been taken to the outside by that dual dropkick. Default is really showing the fans how good they work together here.”
RK: “For two guys who were lazy enough to forget their tickets to Japan for our last show, they made it up with this good performance so far. Well look what we have here, JR!”
Ignavus and Xille wait for D-Ex and CS to get up before they launch themselves off the ring. D-Ex and CS see them launching themselves from the ring and hide their faces to prepare for the worse. The two men of Default, however, just lands on the apron and deliver a kick to the faces of D-Ex and CS instead. Both men get stunned by the kicks and it gives Xille and Igz ample time to deliver stereo Asai Moonsault on their opponents.
JR: “Shades of Ultimo Dragon there as both members of Default takes them down with a springboard moonsault off the apron!”
RK: “Call that impressive? I think Ultimo is proud to see two men do that move at the same time….or he is just busy polishing his dragon scale masks…I dunno.”
The fans are on their feet as Default slide back into the ring and give each other the high five after pulling off that top rope move. Both D-Ex and CS get to their feet outside and do not look pleased by this. D-Ex nods as he goes over to the apron and call out Default. While D-Ex has Default’s attention, we see CS sneaking in the ring to grab Ignavus and tossing him over the ropes. Xille notices Igz is gone but is too late as CS hits a hard throat thrust to take him down.
JR: “That was one hard thrust to the throat delivered there by Cyberstrike.”
CS picks up Xille and delivers a couple of chops to the chest. He backs Xille to the corner and delivers a couple of hard haymakers to the head of Xille. He places the groggy Xille to sit on the top turnbuckle as he stands on the second ropes. Cyberstrike locks on the front face lock before he sends Xille down to the mat with an implant DDT from the top turnbuckle.
JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! That was just too brutal!”
RK: “That DDT there from the corner might have spelled the end for good ol’ Xille right here, JR. I don’t think he will ever get up after that.”
The crowd goes to a stunned silence after hearing that sickening thud on the mat. Cyberstrike has a smirk on his face as he hooks up X for the pin. 1….2…thr-SHOULDER UP! The fans go wild as Xille is still in this match.
RK: “WHAT IN THE?! HOW IN THE HELL DID HE EVER GET HIS ARM UP?!”
Cyberstrike is shocked that Xille got a shoulder up after that brutal move off the corner. He shakes his head and picks up Xille before he sends him to the corner. CS charges to the corner but is stopped on his tracks as X kicks him hard on the gut. Xille climbs to the second rope and he delivers a MARIO STOMP on the back of CS. CS turns around and looks furious at Xille. He runs towards Xille again but X takes him down with a flying forearm smash. Both men go down and the referee starts a 10 count.
JR: “Both men got down after that desperation move by Xille. Xille is slowly making his way to his corner as CS is getting to his feet.”
CS quickly goes to his corner and tags to D-Ex. D-Extreme notices Xille nearing his corner to tag Igz and he goes over there. Xille is closing to his corner until D-Ex grabs him by the leg and dragging him away. Xille uses both hands to push himself up and he delivers an impressive enzugiri to the face of D-Ex. D-Ex stumbles down to the mat as The X makes it to his corner and tags out to Ignavus.
JR: “What a move by Xille! He got that kick on D-Ex and just tagged out to Ignavus! Igz is here and he and X pick up the big man. They send D-Ex to the ropes and they catch him with a double superkick. X goes back to his corner as Ignavus sends D-Ex to the corner.”
RK: “Oh no…I think I know whats next here JR.”
Ignavus scratches his butt as he is on the opposite corner facing where D-Ex is. He starts to make a run for it and he connects with one of his signature moves, THE UNMOTIVATOR. D-Ex stumbles forward as Ignavus quickly goes behind D-Ex for something.
JR: “Ignavus is looking for a german suplex on the bigger opponent..AND HE PULLS IT OFF! He still has D-Ex on his grasps and he does it YET AGAIN! He is going for the third but D-Ex uses the nearby ropes to block the move.”
D-Ex uses his elbow to strike Igz in the head a couple of times for him to let go. He lets go and D-Extreme kicks him hard on the gut before placing him between his legs. D-Ex raises his hand in the air and signals for the Xtreme Factor. D-Ex lifts him up on his shoulders and is ready to send him down for the finish, but Igz hits D-Ex hard on the forehead with an elbow strike. Igz jumps down from D-Ex’s shoulder and delivers a dropkick that sends D-Ex staggering to the ropes. Igz charges at him and D-Ex sends him to the air with a back body drop. Igz, however, lands on the apron and is behind D-Extreme.
JR: “D-Extreme doesn’t know that Igz is just behind him!”
RK: “HEY D-EX!!! TURN AROUND!!!”
D-Ex turns around and he sees Igz springing from the apron to deliver a springboard crossbody. D-Ex somehow catches the almighty slacker and takes him down to the mat with a fallaway slam. D-Ex imitates the pose of one Razor Ramon and the crowd boos him for it. D-Ex goes over to the corner of Xille and gives him a slap. It riles Xille up and The X enters the ring in full throttle. However, the referee stops him and tells him to get back to his corner. While the ref’s back is turned, CS goes in the ring and he and D-Ex pulls Igz back on his feet. CS whips Igz towards the ropes as D-Ex bounces off the other side of the ropes. Igz gets caught with an inverted atomic drop by CS and D-Ex follows it up with a running big boot on Igz.
JR: “BAH GAWD! What an impressive double team maneuver delivered there by the tag team champs! CS connected with that inverted atomic drop and a big boot was followed by D-Ex!”
RK: “They told me that they have been working on a new tag team finisher”
CS goes back to his corner as the referee turns around to see D-Ex with a pin on Ignavus. The referee counts the pin 1…2…3! The bell rings and D-Ex’s arm is raised.
TH: “The winners and STILL X-WCW World Tag Team Champions…Cyberstrike and D-Extreme!!!”
Both CS and D-Ex get their belts and raise them up in victory. The tag champs are booed as they go out of the ring and make their way towards the backstage. Inside the ring, we see Xille entering and checking on his partner.
RK: “WHAT A MATCH!!! It was very hard fought from start to finish, but in the end, the champs still hold the Tag Team Title.”
JR: “By hook or by crook, they did it alright. Well this is James Russell and for Randal King, we will see you next time!”
X-WCW goes off-air as the champs pose on the stage with the belts.
