54) X-WCW Nitro #10

[Cyberstrike]

Nitro kicks off as the stage pyro is set off. The crowd is on its feet as they acknowledge the start of X-WCW’s 10th edition of Nitro. The camera pans over to the announce table where we see James Russell and Randal King.

JR: “Welcome to another action packed edition of X-WCW NITRO! We are airing Nitro’s 10th episode live from the Ninoy Aquino Stadium at Manila, Philippines.”
RK: “Talk about thrilla in Manila, JR! Tonight will be the LotR Semi-Finals match.”
JR: “Tonight, the four remaining contestants shall square off the ring in hopes of securing a finals spot. The LotR does not only give the winner the bragging rights of being the LotR for 2005, but he will be the NEW X-WCW UW Champ!”
RK: “Theres a lot at stake for Divebomb, Eamon, Jarrett and SFM, winning tonight will make them one step closer from the most coveted prize of the X-WCW!”

Backstage

We go backstage to see nTo red inside their locker room. We see Cyberstrike sitting on his desk in deep thought before he stands up to look at Cane.

CS: “Cane, you know why I told you to go here right?”
CD: “I know”
CS: “Tonight, I really appreciate the fact that nTo white was not in the premises.”
CD: “Indeed. I myself do not want to handle this civil war. Cyberstrike, somehow you know this has to end. I cannot just hand one show suspensions here and there just because you lead me…lead US…the nTo red.”
CS: “Ok, one day…one day we will. Now about tonight, what is this?!”

Cyberstrike pulls out a sheet of paper that contains the whole card for tonight’s show. Cane looks at it and gives it back to Cyberstrike.

CD: “It’s the card. You, D-Ex and Jarrett are scheduled to face Final Frontier and Eamon.”

CS: “I KNOW THAT! The question is…WHY?!”

CD: “Things are not working out Cyberstrike. Those 3 have been demanding revenge on what happened to them a couple of weeks ago. Final Frontier wants those belts of yours and Eamon wants to get back for you attacking him. Now I cant throw them into a title match, the best thing is just to let them tag together as a team and face you and the rest of the nTo.”

CS: “I am glad to know its not for our titles. D-Ex and I worked HARD to get these titles, Cane. YOU KNOW THAT. But tonight, Jeff has a matc-”

CD: “AND SO DOES EAMON. So this 6-man tag is just fair! Right? Besides Cyberstrike, the BoD has been on my ass since they said that the request of these 3 have been ignored by me so long. The BoD wants me to be unbiased. I did this in favor of the organization…and in favor of the loyal fans who support us every night.”

CS: “*shakes his head* Well I know how you feel but Cane, where does your loyalty lie these days? Before I see you helping us lay out nTo white, now, you are working against the nTo red by booking us into this match. You better decide soon on who you support with your GM role, the fans…or the group who MADE you become the General Manager.”

CD: “Why must you make it so hard on me?”

Cane leaves the locker room as D-Ex enters with a six pack of beer. He gets bumped by Cane on his way in and he looks at CS.

D-Ex: “Whoa, hehe…the hell was with him?”
CS: “Nothing. D-Ex, you better not be drunk tonight, we got a match.”
D-Ex: “Hey don’t worry about me boss…do NOT worry about me. I know my beer well enough. It wont betray me right?”

D-Ex chuckles as he opens a beer can and chugs it. We go back to ringside for the first match.


LotR II Semi-Finals
Sci-Fi Man vs Jeff Jarrett

“Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” plays on the PA system, and Sci Fi Man makes his entrance to a loud ovation.

TH: “The following is a Lord of the Ring Semi Final, and it is set for one fall! Introducing first: from Seattle, Washington, he is one half of The Final Frontier – SCI FI MAN!”

The audience cheering continues as SFM makes his way to the ring.

A moment later, “n-T-o” is heard, then “My World” hits, and Jeff Jarrett – as unpopular as ever – makes his entrance to a loud chorus of boos. As always, he is armed with a Slapnuts guitar.

TH: “And his opponent: from Hendersonville, Tennessee, representing nTo Red, he is The Chosen One – JEFF JARRETT!”

The booing picks up as Jarrett puts his guitar down outside the ring, then he enters it.

The bell rings to start the match. After stalking each other around the ring for a few moments, both men tie up in the middle. Neither one is able to gain a clear strength advantage, but Jarrett is able to break the tie up with a few well-placed knees to SFM’s groin.

Jarrett tries to capitalise on this by whipping SFM to the front ropes, but on the rebound, SFM hits back with a spinning heel kick, taking Jarrett down. SFM follows this with a rebound off the right ropes, hitting Jarrett with a stiff elbow drop. SFM goes for the pin.

JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “Early days yet! Come on Jarrett!”

SFM allows Jarrett to get up, and as Jarrett’s back is turned, SFM rebounds off the back ropes. As Jarrett turns to face him, SFM greets him with a running Hart Attack!

With Jarrett down again, SFM grabs him by his right arm, locking him in an arm bar on the mat.

RK: “NO! We can’t let one of Eamon X’s flunkies win it like this!”
JR: “This is a good strategy from Sci Fi Man!”

Despite the pain, Jarrett does not submit, and in a move that only a more experienced wrestler could pull off, Jarrett is able to get to his feet and roll SFM up into a pinning predicament!

RK: “1…. 2…. CLOSE!”
JR: “That’s the experience of Jeff Jarrett for you right there!”

SFM gets up, and Jarrett is quick to continue his attack. Jarrett boots SFM to the gut, before locking him in a suplex position and hitting a front suplex on him!

With SFM smarting from the impact of this move, Jarrett stands right up, bringing SFM to his feet and locking him in a headscissor position. Jarrett then hits a nasty piledriver on SFM before going for another pinfall!

JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Where did Sci Fi Man get the energy to kick out of that?”
JR: “Good call: not many people kick out of a piledriver like that!”
RK: “At the same time, Sci Fi Man’s not getting up in a hurry!”

SFM is very slow to rise, so Jarrett picks him up himself. Once SFM is on his feet, Jarrett whips him to the front right corner, following it up with a quick succession of running back elbows. On the fourth attempt, though, SFM manages to duck to his right, and with a sudden rush of energy, SFM gets up and unleashes a flurry of fast punches on Jarrett in the corner!

Once SFM is done, Jarrett stumbles out of the corner and falls to his knees, calling for a time out!

JR: “A typical Jeff Jarrett tactic, this. Do you see how close he is to his guitar, Randal?”
RK: “A little too close for Sci Fi Man’s tastes, I’d say! Come on ref – give Jarrett a break!”
JR: “Will you stop it?”
RK: “Of course I won’t, James!”

Naturally, SFM isn’t buying it. The referee sees Jarrett reaching for his guitar on the outside and stops him, and at the same time, SFM climbs to the front left turnbuckles for a high-risk move.

As the referee moves and Jarrett gets to his feet again, SFM goes for a missile dropkick, but the veteran Jarrett sidesteps it, causing SFM to land awkwardly on the mat. Jarrett capitalises on this by grabbing the fallen SFM’s legs, locking him in the figure four leg lock!

RK: “Jarrett may not need the guitar after all! I think he’s got the match won now!”
JR: “This match is NOT – repeat NOT – a No DQ match! Jarrett should be wanting to win this one cleanly anyway!”

But SFM does not submit. Instead, he tries to edge toward the front ropes, and fails. After nearly 45 seconds in the figure four, he tries another strategy: turning over and reversing the hold. With the tables turned, Jarrett releases the hold.

Both men are slow to get up, but with Jarrett in significantly less pain than SFM, he is able to attack first. He walks up behind the smarting SFM, grabbing him on his right side and hitting his finisher – The Stroke – on SFM! Jarrett turns SFM over, going for the final pinfall.

RK: “1…. 2…. 3! YES! Score one for nTo Red!”
JR: “Jarrett wins this one, and he’s through to the Lord of the Ring Final!”

Jarrett gets up and badmouths the crowd in celebration of his win.

TH: “Here’s your winner – JEFF JARRETT!”

The crowd boos him loudly, and with the referee out of the ring, Jarrett reaches under the bottom left rope for his guitar once again, and he stands up with it, waiting for SFM to rise again.

Jarrett yells “GET UP, SLAPNUTS!”, but SFM is barely moving. Before long, the boos turn to cheers as Autobot Jazz runs to the ring from backstage.

Wondering what the fans are cheering about, Jarrett doesn’t see AJ sneaking into the ring behind him. Jarrett lifts his guitar to strike SFM, but AJ grabs it, and once Jarrett turns to face him, AJ nails Jarrett with the guitar!

JR: “Now THAT’S what I call Southern Justice!”
RK: “Well, I hope you’re happy now!”

AJ sees to his partner, who is now regaining consciousness in the ring.

JR: “Well, it wasn’t quite the result I was hoping for, but Jeff Jarrett got what he deserved! And that should serve as an ominous warning to nTo Red!”
RK: “Yeah: they’re saying ‘Fire our asses now!’ to Cyberstrike!”
JR: “You wish!”

Backstage

We go backstage and see Blaster entering Eamon X’s locker room. Eamon gets up from his bench and shakes his hand.

EX: “Hey dude, long time no see. So what are ya up to these days?”

Blaster: “Well, I did take some time off the wrestling schedule as you know. I’m happy to say I pulled through and it was a successful operation. You know dude, I miss being in the ring, but hey there were complications. So you can say, I’m back in action right now. Oh yeah, I realize if you win tonight and win at the finals..its gonna be you and me.”

EX: “Wow…I think the same thing too friend”

Both men smile and laugh before they go on.

Blaster: “Your opponent tonight is Divebomb. You guys have a lotta history with each other so I aint sure who would win. But Eamon, just keep a level head up, and you can beat him. So good luck tonight.”

Blaster pats Eamon on the shoulder after saying that.

EX: “Don’t worry about me, worry about Divebomb.”
Blaster: “Take care dude.”

Blaster leaves the locker room of Eamon and walks down the corridor. He stops as he sees someone standing infront of him. The man turns out to be Divebomb and both men stare down for a while.

Blaster: “Oh, hey Divebomb.”

DB: “So…you just came here after a few weeks of absence huh Blaster? You came back after doing nothing by lie down on your bed feeling comfortable while I, have to fight each and every show? What gave you the right to do that? Is it because you’re the Royal Bash winner and you don’t have to fight anymore? Is it because that your gonna face the champ at Starrcadde that you don’t want to step into the ring and fight someone? Well what about men like me Blaster? What about the men who claw and scratch their way just to get whats rightfully theres?”

Blaster: “I was injured Divebomb.”

DB: “What injury was it? A broken thumb? A sore toe? I had worse injuries and you don’t see me crying about it! If I win this tour…oh no…WHEN I win this tournament, I will show you real pain.”

Divebomb shoves Blaster aside and walks to the opposite direction. We go to a brief commercial break.

X-WCW goes back from the commercial break and we see Big Dog in the middle of the ring. The crowd boos the newcomer of the X-WCW as he paces around in the ring with a mic.

JR: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the X-WCW. Were here live at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium and the newcomer, Big Dog is in the ring as we speak.”
RK: “This kid looks buffed up and ready to fight JR, but I think he needs to get something off his chest. No, and by that I don’t mean his implants.”

Big Dog finally speaks after the boos of the crowd dies down.

BD: “Finally, you jerks toned down enough for me to speak. I have to say something though, it is GREAT to be here in Manila.”

Big Dog gets a cheap pop from the crowd.

BD: “I cannot believe I am in the city that showcased one of my favorite matches in the history of sports. People, on September of 1975, the two legends by the name of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier slugged it out here on the most brutal and most remembered bout in history…THE THRILLA IN MANILA! 30 years later, I stand before this arena and I have my head held high. Fact is, Ali and Frazier were big names…..and fact is…I am a BIG NAME…I am the big dog here in the X-WCW! Which begs to ask me this to the crowd right now…how can ugly men and women such as yourselves bear witness to one of the greatest moment in sports history? How come you people are WORTHY ENOUGH to see that match?”

The crowd boos Big Dog and chant “You suck”

BD: “As we speak…you guys are not EVEN worthy enough to look at ME! I am the greatest athlete that lives today in the squared circle…and yet I’m here in a crowd who are either ignorant or unworthy to receive me? You know what? I think the X-WCW made a BIG MISTAKE to go here in Manila. I think the only reason the BoD went here is because they found it to be cheap in traveling here in this god-forsaken country!”

The boos of the fans go louder after each of Big Dog’s sentences.

BD: “But enough about you guys. I mean, I don’t wanna waste my saliva speaking something that is not worth mentioning. Tonight, I am here for a reason-no…I am here on a mission. My mission is to give myself a warmup match to show how much damage I can do to a certain X-WCW TV Champion in the backstage area. I am challenging ANYONE from the backstage and show them how good I am.”

Big Dog pauses for a few seconds and looks at the stage to see if someone is there.

BG: “C’mon now fellas…whoever is brave enough or stupid enough to question my talents…GET INTO THE RING RIGHT NOW!”

After that has been said, we see Grant Snell entering the stage. He looks at Big Dog and points to him before he uses the mic in his hand.

GS: “You wanna face anyone at the back to showcase your talents? Big Dog…time to face me! Cause when you think you faced them all and then go fight with me…boy…YOU AINT SEEN NOTHIN YET!”

Grant Snell drops the mic and sprints down the ramp as the crowd roars in approval. He slides into the ring as the bell rings.

Big Dog vs Grant Snell

Snell just slid into the ring and he quickly runs towards Big Dog. Big Dog scouts Grant Snell and he catches him with a powerslam. BD gets up and he starts to stomp down on his opponent.

RK: “This new guy seems to be ready for Grant Snell, JR.”
JR: “I guess you can say that King. Big Dog just got his contract signed last week here with the X-WCW. Usually, when you’re a new signee here, you go straight to development. But the X-WCW Management took exception to this young wrestler. This man has been a decorated wrestler, so I guess it wont be long to see Big Dog holding an X-WCW Title. The problem for me is, this kid is just too overconfident of himself.”

GS is picked up by BD and he whips him into the ropes. Big Dog goes for a back body drop but Grant Snell stops his tracks and holds onto the ropes. Big Dog notices it and he charges at Grant Snell. GS takes BD down with a drop toe hold and BD is now hung up on the second ropes. Grant Snell bounces off the other side of the ropes and he connects with a running knee strike on the back of Big Dog.

JR: “Grant Snell connects with that bossman attack on Big Dog and he just waiting for him to get up. Grant Snell on that corner, seems to be ready to spear the new comer right here.”

Grant Snell looks as Big Dog crawls over to the opposite corner. BD gets up to a vertical base while he is at the corner. Grant Snell charges at Big Dog and he looks like he is ready to spear BD on the corner. Big Dog notices the incoming Grant Snell and side steps out of the way. GS gets a head on collision in the second turnbuckle. GS turns around and is lifted up in a military press by Big Dog. GS goes down to the mat as Big Dog waits for him to get up.

RK: “That was NOT a smart move there by Grant Snell. Now its time to see what Big Dog has in store for Snell.”

Big Dog kicks Grant Snell after the man from Bangkok got himself up. Big Dog quickly grabs GS and sends him down the mat with the Dog House Delivery. Grant Snell is down and Big Dog places his foot over his fallen opponent for the 3 count. The bell rings and ‘Stupify’ hits the speakers.

TH: “The winner as a result of a pin fall…BIG DOG!!!

Big Dog smirks as the crowd boos his victory over Grant Snell.

JR: “That was an impressive display there by the newcomer, King.”
RK: “Impressive? THAT WAS EXCELLENT!!! I think Flash Stryker be cautious of this new kid on the block.”

Backstage

X-WCW goes back from the commercial break and we are backstage with Cole Ryan.

CR: "Welcome back to the tenth edition of X-WCW Nitro! We are here backstage with Divebomb. Divebomb, tonight will be the clash of the two former X-WCW UW Champions. I know your ready for that match but before we go there...what are your thoughts about your last match. You really dominated Damien in the ring last Warzone."

DB: (smirks)"Yes, yes I did. You see as this tournament has been going on I was getting bored. I mean, I beat strike but what else is new and then I started thinking. I knew my competition was a bit lacking so I decided that since I knew that I would most likely have at least one more good opponent in this tournament that I shouldn't slack off. So I wanted to see just how much pain I could inflict. Basically, that match was just a warm up for my up coming matches and I wanted to give the fans something to remind them of me. Not that I want them to like me, but just so they wouldn't forget me."

CR: "Tonight, it is going to be Divebomb vs Eamon X. Eamon has said time and time again that your resorted to dirty tricks in your matches. I am not sure whether he is correct or wrong about that statement though. So Divebomb, how different will this match be from the first two matches you had with him?"

DB: "Well he's right. I did use dirty tactics and I am surprised that he didn't see it coming. I will use any underhanded trick I can to get what I want and I have to tell you, so far it has worked really well for me. I mean I was the champ. So just expect me to do what I always do.”

CR: "I see. So Divebomb, ANY...any final words at all you want to say to the fans or to Eamon X before your match tonight?"

DB: "Well Cole. All thats left to say is that in a few moments he will be standing at Ground Zero and he won't survive this blast."

CR: “There you go folks! This is Cole Ryan and alongside me for this interview was Divebomb. Lets go back to ringside for the next match!”

2 out of 3 falls match
TheGreatOne vs T.M.W.N2

We go back to ringside where we see TheManWithNoName standing in the middle of the ring. The camera goes to the announcer’s table before this match starts.
JR: “We are back here ringside for the NEXT exciting X-WCW match.”
RK: “JR, its going to be that guy and TGO for the X-WCW working contract. The loser however, needs to go back to Indiana with the rest of the developmental guys.”
JR: “The man with no name is already in the ring and he is just waiting for TGO.”

TH: “This match is scheduled for a 2 out of 3 falls match. Currently in the ring, THE MAN WITH NO NAME!!!”

The fans do not boo TMWN2. Infact, they do not EVEN cheer for him. The crowd reaction for this guy is as dead as watching a 20 minute promo of Hans Moleman if he ever gets into a ring and cuts a promo. The fans come alive as “Bad Company” hits the speakers.

TH: “Introducing his opponent, from Greenland, THE GREAT ONE!!!”

TGO makes his way down the ring and slaps some hands of the Manila fans. He slides into the ring and poses for the crowd. TMWN2 does not approve of this and attacks TGO from behind. The bell rings and we see TMWN2 continuing his assault on TGO at the corner.

JR: “The man with no name starts this match with some hard kicks to the great one.”
RK: “I think he doesn’t wanna be in the development territory after this match is done. That’s what I like about these rookies, they got the initiative to do something for their goals. So far I don’t think TGO us concentrating on his goals cause right now, he is getting his ass kicked.”

TGO is sent to the opposite corner and TMWNN follows him there. TGO stops his tracks and hits the incoming TMWNN with a back elbow to the face. With his opponent staggering, TGO climbs to the second rope and launches a moonsault. Both men go down and the referee goes for the pin.

JR: “TGO with the moonsault and now he has the pin..1…2..KICKOUT BY TMWNN!”
RK: “That was a close call.”

TGO picks up MWNN and delivers one hard kick to the gut. MWNN is whipped to the ropes and TGO catches him with a spinebuster slam. TGO pins him but MWNN puts his boot on the bottom rope to break the pin. TGO shakes his head as he gets up and he begins to stomp down on MWNN.

JR: “The Great One was not pleased with MWNN for breaking the pin and he is laying down the boots on his opponent. TGO grabs MWNN and picks him up. TGO backs MWNN and he delivers a couple of shoulder charges at him.”

After delivering the shoulder charges, TGO climbs to the top and starts to pound away. TGO hits 9 successive punches to his opponents head, but MWNN blocks the tenth punch and sneaks in a low blow.

JR: “What a cheap shot there by the man with no name on TGO! MWNN grabs TGO and takes him down with a sit-down powerbomb. He goes for the pin 1…2…NO! TGO kicks out and delivers a basement dropkick to the face of MWNN.”
RK: “Now that move was literally IN YOUR FACE.”

TGO waits for MWNN to get up before he hits him hard with a right hand to the head. TGO delivers a couple of more before he sets it off with a discus punch. MWNN ducks the discus punch and goes behind TGO. The waistlock is there and MWNN delivers a german suplex on TGO. MWNN gets up and still has TGO before he delivers a second german suplex. TGO is dragged back up yet again for a third and final german suplex but he blocks it. TGO hits a hard elbow to the head of MWNN before he goes behind him and delivers a backdrop with bridge.

JR: “He has him in the pin 1…2…3! TGO gets the first fall.”
RK: “Man, he almost got hit by the third german suplex, but somehow, he pulls off a block and a first win.”

The bell rings to signal TGO’s first win in this match. Both men slowly get back to their feet and they start to exchange some punches at each other. TGO is raked in the face by MWNN and staggers towards the ropes. MWNN charges for a clothesline but TGO drops down and pulls the top rope. MWNN stumbles to the outside of the ring as TGO gets up.

RK: “Hahah, now that’s a veteran move there by TGO. Gee, I wonder WHO taught him that?”
JR: “Let me guess…you?”
RK: “OF COURSE IT WAS ME! Who else is the damn head trainer there?”

TGO waits for MWNN to get up before he launches himself off the ring to connect a suicide planca on MWNN. Both men are down on the outside as the referee starts to count them. TGO is the first man to get up and he rolls MWNN back in.

JR: “TGO gets back to the ring and he picks up MWNN. The Man With No Name surprises TGO with a couple of fast lefts. MWNN sends TGO to the ropes and catches him with a powerslam.”

The pin is made but TGO gets a shoulder up by 2. MWNN slaps TGO around before he picks him up and deliver a hard kick to the gut. TGO is set up for a powerbomb but he pulls MWNN down by the legs to stop it. TGO quickly applies the figure four on the MWNN.

JR: “The Great One has MWNN with the figure four leg lock.”
RK: “JR, I can feel the pain that MWNN is having right now..look at him..he looks kinda constipated right now.”

MWNN struggles to move as the figure four is locked tightly by TGO. But somehow, MWNN rolls around and reverses the momentum of the submission move. TGO quickly crawls towards the ropes and holds it. The referee breaks the hold and both men slowly get to their feet.

JR: “After a quick shift of the move, both men are now getting themselves up.”
RK: “Both men better be aware to beat the hell out of the other so, whoever wins, gets a stay in the Injured List before going to the main roster. That case, both men would be happy.”

TGO takes MWNN down quickly with a running shoulder block. He bounces off the ropes and delivers a running elbow drop on the back. TGO gets up and delivers a couple of more elbow drops to the back of MWNN. MWNN slowly gets to his feet and he is met by a hard forearm to the face by TGO.

JR: “MWNN staggers back after that forearm shot by TGO. TGO goes for the clothesline but MWNN ducks the clothesline and delivers a spinning leg lariat to TGO. TGO goes down after that hard shot by MWNN.”
RK: “I think TGO just lost a couple of his teeth after being met by that vicious kick by MWNN.”

TGO is down on the mat as MWNN picks him up. MWNN delivers some elbow shots to the back of TGO’s before he backs him into the ropes. MWNN proceeds to backup and then deliver a dropkick to TGO. TGO falls to the outside of the ring.

JR: “The Grate One is on the outside of the ring and The Man With No Name is making his way up to the turnbuckle.”
RK: “Some high risk maneuver? Go down you idiot! You can just stand there and wait for him to get back in.”

TGO gets himself up on the outside and sees MWNN jumping off the top turnbuckle and onto the outside. TGO gets out of the way for MWNN to crash and burn on the outside. TGO picks up MWNN and rolls him into the ring. TGO goes to the apron and makes his way to the top rope.

JR: “MWNN is down in the ring while TGO is on the top rope.”
RK: “I hope this time the one on top doesn’t miss…man, if he will miss this, they better forget being in the main roster. They better off staying in the developmental territory if that’s the case.”

TGO launches himself from the top and he connects with an elbow drop on MWNN. He covers MWNN for the pin but MWNN kicks out at 2. TGO gets up and stalks MWNN as he gets up. MWNN is on his feet but before he turns around, TGO grabs him on the back of his neck.

RK: “What is he gonna do JR? Is this the new version of the TONGAN DEATH GRIP?”
JR: “Seems like it is King…seems like it i…oh wait!”

TGO lifts MWNN and quickly slams him face first into the mat.

JR: “Innovative, a face first chokeslam!”
RK: “FACE FIRST CHOKESLAM? What the hell are you saying JR? He didn’t even CHOKE the guy….TGO better get his finishers written right next time, this is a rip off. *Crumples a piece of paper*”
JR: “He goes for the pin 1…2…3! Its all over! TGO! WELCOME TO THE X-WCW!!!”

TH: “The winner of this match…THE GREAT ONE!”

“Bad Company” hits the PA Systems as TGO gets up and raises his arms in victory. The fans cheer him on as he slides out of the ring and gives them a few high fives on his way to the back.

JR: “What an impressive match, King.”
RK: “I guess so. TGO is in the main roster right now and he better step it up like he did tonight. MWNN…time to go back to good old Indiana after this show.”

TGO stops on the stage and poses for the crowd.

Backstage

CR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Nitro! Right now I am here backstage with Eamon X. Eamon, tonight you will be facing Divebomb during the semi-finals of the LotR tournament. Before we go there though, let me ask you this question; how was it to battle Ryan X during your match on Warzone?”

EX: "Well, it was physically taxing. Ryan X is a formidable opponent, and if he keeps his head down and doesn't get too cocky too fast, he's got a big future in this business. Of course, I pulled up sore on account of those chair shots, but Terri gives GREAT massages. And take it from me, that's not all she gives!"

CR: “ Right now its Divebomb vs Eamon round 3. Eamon, how will you approach this match tonight? Will you approach it differently from the last 2 or will you stick to your old tactics to take Divebomb down for the count?”

EX: "As long as no more curveballs are thrown at me - that includes so-called 'special referees' or crazy stipulations - then it ought to be a match-up for the ages. And Divebomb, don't try anything funny."

Eamon X leaves the interview area for his upcoming match.
LotR II Semi-Finals
Divebomb vs Eamon X

We go back to ringside for the semi-finals match.

TH: “The following LotR semi-finals match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!”

JR: “Here we go for the final LotR match for tonight. The winner of this bout shall face Jeff Jarrett in the LotR finals.”
RK: “I cant wait to see this one JR! You see…both of these men have been at odds with each other since their first encounter in the squared circle. I mean, D-Bomb has a win over Eamon and then a double DQ resulted into DB losing his UW Title.”
JR: “This match is certainly going to be one for the ages.”

“Break and Enter” sounds off the PA Systems as Eamon X enters the ringside area.

TH: “Introducing first…from Australia…EAMON X!!!”

Eamon walks down the aisle as the Manila crowd gives him quite an ovation of cheers. He slaps a few hands with some fans before he slides into the ring and poses for them. His music is cut short as “My Last Serenade” by Killswitch Engage takes over the speakers.

TH: “And his opponent, from Burnaby, BC…DIVEBOMB!!!”

DB strolls down the aisle as the fans boo him heavily.

JR: “The Manila crowd certainly did NOT appreciate DB cutting Eamon’s entrance early.”
RK: “What are you talking about…I guess they just found out that the WINNER of this match is making his way down.”

Divebomb gets into the ring and points at Eamon X who is on the other side of the ring. DB starts to mouth off something to Eamon as both men go to the center of the ring. The bell rings to start the match as both men are arguing with each other. Divebomb gives a hard shove to Eamon X to start things off. EX retaliates with a shove of his own on Divebomb. DB snickers for a while before delivering a hard punch that sends Eamon X hard to the mat.

JR: “DB just decked Eamon X with that hard punch to the face, King.”

DB lunges at EX and starts to pour on some hard right hands on him. The referee breaks this up and separates Divebomb from EX. Eamon gets up and he charges at Divebomb. He backs Divebomb towards the corner as he pours on some punches of his own. Divebomb and Eamon X are at it on each other as they deliver some hard punches and kicks at the other man.

RK: “These two men do NOT like each other at all, JR!”
JR: “Divebomb and Eamon X are still brawling at that corner right now, King. I don’t think anyone of them will get an advantage sooner or later.”

The referee could only stand helplessly as both men continue to punch and kick the other man down. Divebomb finally has a little edge on EX and blocks a punch from him. DB places a hard kick right to the gut of Eamon X before he grabs him by the head and send him head first into the turnbuckle. EX is at the corner as DB delivers a couple of knee strikes to the midsection on him. Divebomb backs away for a while before he goes for a charging shoulder thrust on EX. Eamon X gets out of the way and DB gets his right shoulder feel the cold hard steel post of the corner. Eamon X hooks DB from behind for a backslide pin.

JR: “Here’s the pin..1…2…Kickout! Divebomb kicked out of the backslide pin and he goes towards Eamon. EX scouts him and quickly stops him on his tracks with a hard body punch. Eamon X locks a shoulder vice on Divebomb and the former UW Champ is on his knees!”
RK: “Eamon X knew DB’s shoulder was banged up after the collision and he is taking it to his advantage right now, JR!”

DB shouts in pain as Eamon tightens the grip on DB’s shoulders. The submission move is finally let go by Eamon before it passes the 1 minute mark and takes DB down with a well placed knee lift on the chin. EX picks up DB and lifts him on his shoulder before delivering a shoulder breaker to DB’s banged up shoulder. Eamon X gets up and waits for DB to get to his feet.

JR: “Divebomb is up on his feet and EX sends him to the ropes. DB with a leap frog over Eamon X, bounces off the other ropes. Eamon X turns around and is met with an STO!”
RK: “Man, that was one hard STO.”

Divebomb gets up and holds his injured shoulder for a while. EX is up and DB delivers a couple of punches on Eamon before he hits one hard knee to the sternum. Divebomb scoops up Eamon and takes him down with a bodyslam. Divebomb bounces off the ropes and he lands a running fist drop.

JR: “Divebomb hooks the leg for the pin 1…2..Eamon gets his shoulder up.”
RK: “This might be a long night, JR. These two men are refusing to bow down to the other.”

DB grabs Eamon but EX bat his arms away. Eamon kicks DB hard on the gut before he connects with a hard right hand on the face of Divebomb. DB is backed towards the ropes before EX sends him to the other side. EX catches Divebomb with and inverted atomic drop and he goes for a clothesline. DB ducks the clothesline and delivers a hard body punch to Eamon X. Divebomb follows the punch with an elbow strike to the forehead of Eamon X.

JR: “Divebomb scoops Eamon up and he goes over to the nearest corner for a sneak eye!”

Eamon X stumbles forward and DB takes him down with a belly to belly suplex. Divebomb signals to the crowd that its over as he slowly does a slit throat motion. The crowd boos him as he makes his way to the top rope.

RK: “I think its time for the Ground Zero, JR!”
JR: “I guess so, King. Divebomb launches off the top for the ground zero….BUT EAMON GETS HIS KNEES UP!”

Divebomb’s back lands on the knees of Eamon X. DB rolls to the mat in pain as EX slowly gets himself up with the help of the nearest ring ropes. Eamon X is on his feet and runs towards Divebomb, who stops EX on his tracks with a hard forearm to the face. Divebomb bounces off the ropes but EX hits a forearm smash to the face of DB to take him aback. Eamon bounces off the ropes and avoids a forearm from Divebomb before he goes behind DB and deliver a 180 spin backdrop.

JR: “What an impressive move there by Eamon X! He hits a 180 spin backdrop on Divebomb and both men are down.”
RK: “I think they a bit exhausted from those forearm smashes to the face. Just using your forearm at an exact area of your opponent can be devastating for him.”

EX is the first to get up and he waits for Divebomb to get up. DB slowly gathers himself up and turns around to see EX. Eamon X grab Divebomb and goes for the X-Blast, however, Divebomb somehow counters Eamon’s move and hits a spinning DDT.

JR: “AMAZING! Divebomb just used EX’s own momentum to counter his X-Blast!”
RK: “I think DB has been taking notes on Eamon, JR. As he said earlier, he doesn’t slack off. So in other words, Divebomb and Ignavus are NOT related…due to the sole reason that Igz is lazy and DB is not.”

Both Eamon X and Divebomb are down as the referee counts both men for the 10 count.

JR: “The referee starts the standing 10 count to see if one or if both men will make it up before the final count.”

Eamon and Divebomb show signs of movement as the referee is halfway there and counts to five. Divebomb is the first to get up and then Eamon gets himself up by using the nearby ropes. Divebomb grabs Eamon by the hair and pulls himup. Divebomb hits a couple of punches to the face before he sends Eamon to the ropes. DB does a back body drop nearby the ropes to send Eamon X to the outside. However, as DB turns around, he sees Eamon standing on the apron and delivering one hard forearm shot to the face of Divebomb.

JR: “Eamon grabs Divebomb while he is at the apron and he suplexes Divebomb to the outside of the ring!”
RK: “Both men are now outside, JR. I think the fans will get a close up view of this match right now.”

Both men slowly get to their feet and start to exchange punches with each other. Eamon X hits a hard chop to the chest that sends DB staggering. DB ducks an incoming clothesline from Eamon X and delivers one hard club on the back of EX. Divebomb grabs Eamon and he sends him crashing into the nearby steel steps.

RK: “OH YEAH! That’s it, Divebomb beat him senseless! HAHA! I am loving this, JR!”
JR: “That was just bad, someone just PLEASE ring the bell already!”

Divebomb kicks Eamon repeatedly on the mid-section while he is down. Inside the ring, we hear the referee counting to 8 and DB had to slide in. Divebomb slides outside to the ring yet again just to pick up Eamon. He is waylaid by Eamon and surprises him with a couple of punches. Eamon grabs DB and slams him head first into the crowd barrier before he picks up DB on his shoulders. Eamon sees the nearby post and he runs with DB to drive him shoulder first into the steel post. Divebomb goes down and is holding his shoulder in pain.

JR: “Bah gawd, King. I heard that metal just impacting on the shoulder of Divebomb.”
RK: “I just shuddered right now hearing that sound, JR.”

Eamon looks at Divebomb furiously before he picks him up. Divebomb however delivers a poke in the eyes of Eamon to keep him off for a while. Divebomb gathers himself up and takes EX down with a short arm clothesline. Divebomb picks up Eamon X and delivers THE END. After the move is done, we can hear the referee shouting ‘5’

JR: “Divebomb just finished things up outside as he delivered EX with THE END. Eamon is not moving at all King and…hey what in the world?! Is he out of his mind?”

Divebomb drags the outcold Eamon X towards the announce table. He places him on top of the announce table as Randal King and James Russell leave their respective chairs and stand up.

RK: “Don’t tell me he wants to do something else besides THE END.”

Divebomb goes up to the apron, but it does not reset the 10 count of the referee since he has not entered inside the ring yet. Divebomb jumps off the apron and lands the Ground Zero on Eamon, who is on the table. The table breaks and both men are laid out on top of it. While that happens, we hear the referee saying ‘9’

JR: “DIVEBOMB JUST HIT THE GROUNDZERO ON EAMON X THROUGH THE TABLE!!!”
RK: “Holy…..Bejebus, JR! I don’t think one of them will be getting up in time to go back to the ring.”

The referee shouts ‘10’ and then calls for the bell. Terri Hotbody enters the ring and announces the outcome.

TH: “Due to a double count out…this match has been declared as a DRAW!”

The fans boo at the outcome of the match until we see Cane entering the stage with a mic of his own.

CD: “Hold on! I know the decision of the referee was made into a draw. HOWEVER, on Warzone, there will be a Triangle match to determine WHO is the 2005 Lord of the Ring. It will be Jeff Jarrett vs Divebomb vs Eamon X!”

The fans cheer at the announcement.

JR: “Did you just hear that King?! Its going to be a triangle match for the LotR finals!”
RK: “Oh boy! I cant wait to see that match. But the problem is…how can we sit down for the next match since this table is all, broken down?”

We see the referee and the road agents helping both EX and DB up the ramp to head to the backstage area as Nitro goes to a commercial break.

Backstage

We go to the backstage area where we see Ignavus and Xille walking down the corridor together.

X: “Hey, I hear you are going for a fatal fourway TV title match tonight. So, made any preparations to your upcoming match?”
Igz: “Huh?”

Ignavus stops and scratches his head.

Igz: “I never recall being in a match tonight.”
X: “But, we just passed the card where every X-WCW superstar looks at to see if they are in a match. Igz, I’m honest, I SAW your name there. You will be up against 3 other guys for the TV Title. So, you are not prepared? You do have your wrestling gear right?”
Igz: “*nods* But something is still missing Xille.”

All of a sudden, we notice a bottle of coke dropping from the ceiling and Igz catches it. He holds it to show the cameraman before opening it and drinking it. He is done and he tosses it behind him. Unfortunately, some stage hand gets clocked over the head with the bottle. Both men walk down the corridor again.

Igz: “X…now I am READY!”
X: “How come only you and D-Ex endorse some drinks here? How about me?”
Igz: “Guess you pay your bills on time…yeh.”

The camera pans over to the nTo locker room where we see Jeff Jarrett sitting down on the couch. He is holding his phone while he sits.

Jarrett: “So, when are they going to be back here? Well boss Cyberstrike, I haven’t heard from D-Ex and Starstorm since they left. So who the hell is this new kid we have aboard in our group? Oh so you say he is big eh? That’s good to hear. Anyways, good luck with your talk with Cane.”

Jarrett hears a knock on the door.

Jarrett: “I bet that’s them right now. I have to go boss, I wanna see this NEW GUY.”

Jarrett hangs up and gets out of his seat.

?: “Hurrry up! We cannnnnot wait forever!”
Jarrett: “Ok! Ok! What the hell is with your voice D-Ex? You seem to be lispin right now.”

Jarrett opens the door and the camera angle changes. The view switches where we see Jarrett from the outside of the room and looking at the hooded man infront of him.

Jarrett: “Who the hell are YOU?!”
?: “Vengencceee!”

The camera fades as we see the hooded man taking off his hood. The bad part was, we couldn’t quite see him since we are quickly sent back to ringside for the following match.

JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Nitro!”
RK: “And welcome back….announce table! Man, those workers sure know how to fix these tables fast huh JR?”

X-WCW TV Championship
Fatal Four Way Match
Ignavus vs Tempest vs Otacon vs Styker(c)

“Leader of Men” hits, and Ignavus makes his way to the ring to a warm reception from the audience.

TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the following is a Fatal Four Way Match! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW TV Championship! Introducing first: from Simsbury, Connecticut – IGNAVUS!”

Ignavus enters the ring, then “Step Up” hits, and Tempest appears on stage to a hostile audience reception.

TH: “His first opponent: from Australia, he is The Human Bulldozer – TEMPEST!”

The boos continue as Tempest heads to the ring. Upon his entry, “Superstar” hits, and Otacon appears to a somewhat mixed response.

TH: “Their next opponent: from Manchester, England – OTACON!”

Otacon runs to the ring, itching for a fight.

Meanwhile, “Speedway” – Flash Stryker’s temporary music – hits, and the man himself appears to a loud ovation.

RK: “Wasn’t this song supposed to be a one-off?”
JR: “I don’t know for certain!”
TH: “And their final opponent: from Winnipeg, Alberta, Canada, he is the current X-WCW TV Champion – FLASH STRYKER!”

Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Stryker points at the ring and runs to it. He surrenders his belt to one of the two referees, and the bell rings to start the match.

The brawl begins in earnest. Stryker goes for Tempest, and Ignavus fights with Otacon. Before long, Tempest gets the upper hand on Stryker, whipping him into the back ropes and booting him in the face on the rebound, then getting on top of him and locking on a blatant choke hold.

Meanwhile, Otacon ties up with Ignavus, gaining the strength advantage very quickly. Otacon shoves Ignavus right to the mat, then he grabs Ignavus by his legs and catapults him right into the front ropes. As Ignavus rebounds, Otacon stands up and grabs him from behind, and in a display of sheer brute strength, he hits a reverse vertical suplex on the much smaller Ignavus.

Otacon turns the fallen Ignavus over and goes for the first pin attempt of the match.

RK: “1…. 2…. Tempest breaks it up!”
JR: “Which just goes to show that there are no alliances in a match-up like this!”

Tempest turns his attention to Otacon, bringing him to his feet. With no other opponents to face, the rising Stryker turns his focus to Ignavus, and as Ignavus tries to get up, Stryker knocks him right back down on his belly, locking him in a surfboard hold.

JR: “This’ll be a real short match if Ignavus taps out!”
RK: “And being the slacker he is, he’ll probably do it sooner rather than later!”

Surprisingly, Ignavus does not tap out to Stryker. Before long, he is able to move into position to place his foot on the bottom right rope, breaking the hold.

On the other side of the ring, Otacon has Tempest cornered against the front left turnbuckles, and he unleashes a flurry of punches on Tempest before choking him with his boot.

However, Tempest reverses this by grabbing Otacon’s right foot and tripping up his left, following it with an ankle lock!

JR: “Good God Almighty! Tempest is pulling out a Ken Shamrock Special right here!”
RK: “He isn’t well known for his technical or submission skills, mind you!”

Despite the pain, Otacon is determined not to lose. He manages to make it to the bottom left rope after almost 25 seconds, breaking the hold.

Meanwhile, Stryker whips Ignavus to the back ropes, hitting a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Ignavus on the rebound. Stryker goes for a pinfall.

JR: “1…. 2…. Ignavus gets the shoulder up!”
RK: “Which is a TITANIC effort for him! HA!”

Although Ignavus managed to escape the pin, he rolls out of the ring under the right ropes. With a cry of “This ain’t worth the effort, man!”, he starts to walk away from the ring, but Stryker follows him out, leaving one of the referees no option but to start the mandatory 10-count.

RK: “I KNEW IT! This is all too much for that slacker Ignavus!”
JR: “And this is NOT a Falls Count Anywhere match, so he could get himself AND Stryker DQ’ed, guaranteeing a new champion – and a new TV for that champion – tonight!”

Back in the ring, Otacon and Tempest are back up and brawling. Both men exchange hard punches, but Otacon blocks the last one, grabbing Tempest by the arm and hitting a short arm clothesline on him! Otacon goes for a pin.

JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “Tempest threw Otacon off him like he was a cruiserweight!”

Tempest gets right back up as if nothing happened. He hooks one of Otacon’s arms and hits him with several underhook headbutts (a la Al Snow), and then he lifts Otacon up into a thunderous belly to back suplex!

Up on the stage, Stryker and Ignavus are still fighting, and the referee has now counted to 6. Stryker is trying to prevent Ignavus from leaving the stage any way he can, even resorting to a belly to belly suplex on the hard stage floor!

As the referee reaches 7, Stryker proceeds to walk back to the ring, but Ignavus grabs him by the right ankle. This trips Stryker up, and Ignavus refuses to let go, yet Stryker manages to break free by the time the referee reaches 9. Despite running to the ring at full pace, he is half a second too late: the referee reaches 10, and calls for the bell. The audience is furious at this turn of events, launching into a “BULLSHIT!” chant.

The referee confers with Terri for a moment, then she makes an announcement.

TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this referee has decided that both Ignavus and Flash Stryker are disqualified from this match, and that it will now continue between Tempest and Otacon!”

The fans are appalled by this.

RK: “Well, Ignavus may be a slacker, but he’s a smart slacker! He just cost Stryker the title!”
JR: “And I guess we can take some comfort from the fact that Cyberstrike will be buying a new TV for someone. Not that he’d miss the money, of course!”

The same referee accompanies Stryker and Ignavus to the backstage area, leaving the other referee to see to Tempest and Otacon in the ring. Tempest still has the upper hand, lifting Otacon into a powerful body slam and going for a pin.

RK: “1…. 2…. AND A HALF!”
JR: “There’s still a fair way to go in this match – if the fans in attendance don’t start to riot first! Listen to the chant!”

As the fans chant “WHO BOOKED THIS CRAP?!”, Tempest brings Otacon to his feet and whips him into the front right corner. Tempest unleashes a series of chest chops – with a few “whooos” from the crowd for good measure – but they have little effect on Otacon.

Before long, Otacon brings Tempest into the corner, climbing the turnbuckles and nailing a series of punches on Tempest. The crowd counts them – “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!” – and as a result, Tempest stumbles out of the corner in a daze.

Otacon takes the initiative, kicking Tempest in the gut and hitting The Final Impact! Otacon goes for a pin.

RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Tempest reached down deep to kick out of that!”

Before long, both men are up, and Otacon tries to whip Tempest into the back ropes, but Tempest reverses it. On Otacon’s rebound, Tempest strikes back with a pump kick (a la Steve Blackman) that takes Otacon to the mat quickly. Once Otacon is down, Tempest signals for The Thunder Press, which makes the audience livid.

RK: “Dammit, what’s wrong with these people tonight?”
JR: “You mean you don’t know? Gimme a break.”
RK: “OK. Arm or leg?”
JR: “Stop it.”

Tempest waits for Otacon to rise, and once he does, Tempest positions him for The Thunder Press. He lifts Otacon up into position, but with a sudden adrenaline rush, Otacon slips out behind Tempest, running for the left ropes. He rebounds, and Tempest turns around in time to be met with a stiff Lou Thesz press, followed by a number of stiff punches.

Otacon stands up, signalling for the Vertebreaker, and once Tempest is up, Otacon boots him in the gut, positioning him for the move and hitting it!

But Otacon doesn’t go for the pin just yet. He signals for another Vertebreaker, and once Tempest staggers to his feet, he hits the move again.

And with a shout of “ONE MORE!”, he picks up the weary Tempest once more, hitting the Vertebreaker for a third time. Finally, he goes for a pin.

RK: “1…. 2…. 3! NEW CHAMPION!”
JR: “In shocking circumstances, I might add.”

The bell rings to end the match, but the fans in attendance are indifferent to Otacon’s victory nevertheless.

TH: “Here’s your winner – and the NEW X-WCW TV Champion – OTACON!”

Otacon takes the belt and raises it in celebration.

JR: “Well, Flash Stryker must be as mad as hell right now!”
RK: “And he’s not the first one to lose a title in this fashion! Remember what happened to Eamon X once?”
JR: “Yes, we know. And if I were you, I wouldn’t dare to remind him of it!”
RK: “Yeah, whatever. We’ll be back after this!”

Backstage

We see the nTo red members outside the locker room as D-Ex is knocking on the door. D-Ex is visibly seen wearing a Miller Lite cap for some sort of reason right now. Behind him stands Starstorm and some big guy who seems to be the newest member of the nTo red.

D-Ex: “JEFF!!! OPEN UP DAMMIT!!!”

D-Ex shakes his head and doesn’t wait any longer. D-Ex backs up before he busts down the door with a big boot. All four men enter the locker room and notice Jarrett laid out on the floor. Jeff Jarrett is all bloodied up and barely moving on the ground as D-Ex notices a bunny rabbit looking at them before it flees.

D-Ex: “The hell was that bunny doing here? Whatever. Hey…Jeff..buddy..wake up!”

D-Ex doesn’t hear Jarrett respond, so he kicks him a few times on the leg.. Starstorm and the big guy just looks on D-Ex. D-Ex looks at the rest and order them.

D-Ex: “DON’T JUST LOOK! CALL THE PARAMEDICS DAMMIT!”

Starstorm leave the locker room as the big man approaches D-Ex.

?: “Damn, whoever done this must have a vendetta on Mr. Jarrett.”
D-Ex: “You said it kid. Anyways, we were going to throw a welcome party for ya here at nTo red. However, you see the situation right now. So I guess we can throw that to a later date if you don’t mind.”

Starstorm comes back with the paramedics and Cane Deathscream.

CD: “What happened here D?”
D-Ex: “Someone bloodied Jeff good…so good that…well, just look!”
CD: “This is not good. Jeff is scheduled to be with you and CS for the six man tag team match. D, I know this is hard but, you got to replace him with someone.”
D-Ex: “Well, if you say so. Cane, have you met with this kid yet?”
CD: “*looks at the new nTo red member* No, not yet.”
D-Ex: “Me neither, only the boss knows anything about him. I kept on asking this guy for his name…but he kept on insisting that CS will be the one who will introduce him to all of us.”

We go back to ringside as the nTo red looks on at the paramedics who escort Jarrett out of the locker room.

Six-Man Tag-Team Match
Eamon and The Final Frontier vs Cyberstrike, D-Extreme, and

RK: “OH man! Jarrett just got beaten up backstage and it seems he will be out for tonight’s main event.”
JR: “I know, King. Somehow, the nTo red better find a replacement soon enough.”

TH: “The following 6-man tag team match is scheduled for one fall!”

“Lose yourself” hits the speakers as Autobot Jazz and Scifi Man enter the ringside area.

TH: “Introducing first, at a combined weight of 460 pounds….FINAL FRONTIER!!!”

Final Frontier make their way down the ramp as the fans cheer them on. They slide into the ring at the same time and goes to opposite sides of the ring. They climb up the turnbuckle and pose for the crowd.

JR: “This team has wanted a title shot against team nTo, King. Tonight, they will prove themselves and to the rest of the X-WCW how worthy they are to the X-WCW Tag Team Titles.”
RK: “Yes they will, JR. Cause when they lose…they will show everyone how big losers they are.”

Their music cuts and “Break and Enter” fills the ringside speakers. The pyros explode on stage before we see Eamon X entering the stage while the smoke is being cleared.

TH: “And their partner, from Australia, EAMON X!!!”

JR: “Eamon X competed earlier tonight and by the looks of things, I don’t think his ribs are feeling ok after that Ground Zero through the table.”
RK: “I can see that, JR. Eamon X still has that bandage on his mid-section and it might prove to be one big bullseye for the nTo during this match.”

Eamon X slowly goes down the ramp while the Manila crowd gets on their feet and cheer for him. The courageous Eamon enters the ring and all three men give each other high fives before they look on stage and wait for their opponents.

“n…T…o”

The lights turn off for a while before the black and red lights start to flicker around the ringside area.

“No chance”
“Ha that’s what ya got!”

“No Chance” by dope plays through the PA Systems as Cyberstrike and D-Extreme come out of the stage. Behind them stands the new member of the nTo red and all three men stand on stage as the crowd greets them with boos.

TH: “And their opponents….nTo Red!!!”

Cyberstrike is handed the mic by the new guy and begins to speak.

CS: “Since Jarrett was attacked by SOMEONE at the backstage, we present to you our replacement partner. He is the newest member of the nTo…THE REAL DEAL!!!”

RK: “The real deal eh? The reality here is, he is ONE TALL HOSS!!! I love it when a big man debuts here in the X-WCW. Most of them can easily dominate in the ring and their opponents can do NOTHING about it. I tell you JR, the nTo have the advantage here tonight.”

All three nTo members make they way down the ramp and slowly, they enter the ring. The black and red lights stop flickering and the normal ringside lights go back up. D-Ex and CS go to their corner and Eamon and AJ go to their corner.

JR: “It seems to me that the newcomer and SFM will start off this match.”

The bell rings and both men lock up. Within a second, The Real Deal shoves SFM down to the other side and he flexes his muscle while SFM is getting up. SFM looks furious and charges at The Real Deal. TRD however sees him and he goes for a clothesline. SFM gets under the clothesline and bounces off the ropes. SFM hits a spinning leg lariat and it sends the big man down the mat.

JR: “SFM takes down the new comer with a spinning leg lariat. Both men are on their feet and SFM goes for a kick. TRD blocks it and he spins SFM around. The Real Deal lifts SFM and sends him down with a powerful sidewalk slam!”
RK: “Man, such power The Real Deal showed with that slam. I swear, JR, I heard SFM’s spine crack from here.”
SFM holds his back in pain as The Real Deal is up and has a smirk on his face. TRD kicks SFM’s back a couple of times before he grabs him by the throat. He throws SFM into the corner and delivers a couple of punches there. He tags out to D-Extreme and both nTo members start to stomp a mudhole on SFM.

JR: “D-Ex is tagged in by the Real Deal right now and they continue to stomp down on SFM.”
RK: “I bet ya, JR, D-Extreme is enjoying this right now.”

TRD goes back to his corner as D-Extreme grabs SFM. He hoists SFM on the top turnbuckle and delivers an axe-handle on the back of SFM. After the axehandle hits, D-Extreme grabs SFM by the neck and sends him down the mat with a neckbreaker.

RK: “The backshaker! The move name might sound corny, JR, but its effective.”
JR: “Indeed it is, King. D-Extreme goes for the pin right now…1…2…Kickout by SFM.”

D-Extreme mounts on top of SFM and starts to beat away on SFM’s head. The referee breaks it up after a while and D-Ex is forced to wait for SFM to get up on his feet. SFM is on all fours and is slowly getting up, but D-Ex runs towards him and he kicks him hard on the side. SFM rolls on the mat in pain as Autobot Jazz and Eamon X try to get in the ring. The referee stops AJ and EX from getting into the ring, but he has his back turned on the nTo red. Cyberstrike claps his hand in the air to signal a fake tag before he gets in.

JR: “Oh this is just great, the nTo are isolating SFM as we speak.”
RK: “Well SFM wouldn’t be in this situation if he just laid there for the count!”

Cyberstrike and D-Extreme pick up SFM and both men kick him at the mid-section. CS and D-Ex takes SFM down with a double DDT as the referee gets his attention back at the action. D-Extreme goes to the corner and CS covers SFM for the pin. SFM gets a shoulder up at the 2 count.

JR: “SFM is still in this match, King. CS picks up SFM but SFM delivers a couple of hard shots on the mid-section of Cyberstrike. SFM bounces off the ropes and he takes CS down with a desperation move! Both men are down!”
RK: “C’mon Cyberstrike, get up!”

Both men slowly get to their feet, but none of them seem to be going for a tag. SFM spins CS around and delivers a couple of shots to the face. SFM sends Cyberstrike to the ropes and he connects with a hiptoss. CS gets back up again and he is met by a dropkick that sends him staggering towards the corner. SFM charges at the corner but CS sees him and goes for a back body drop. SFM lands on the apron and he waits for CS to turn around. CS sees SFM on the apron and he ducks the incoming punch from SFM. CS grabs SFM and he attempts for a suplex. SFM escapes the suplex and lands behind Cyberstrike. SFM has CS in the waistlock and he goes for a German Suplex. Cyberstrike however, lands on his feet and he turns SFM around for a clothesline. SFM ducks the clothesline and both men stop for a while and just stare down the other man while the fans cheer on.
RK: “Wow, both men just went through a mini-wrestling clinic there, JR.”

We see SFM nearby his corner and he backs up a bit to tag out to Autobot Jazz.

JR: “AJ is tagged into this match and he and CS initiates a lock up in the middle of the ring. CS quickly goes for the arm wrench but AJ is there to reverse the move. AJ goes behind Cyberstrike with that hammerlock and turns around and reverse the momentum of the submission move.”
RK: “Its not wise for AJ to be doing this, JR. Cyberstrike is well known to be one of the best all-around wrestler here in the X-WCW.”

While AJ has the armbar locked on CS, we see CS do a roll on the mat and trips AJ with an ankle pick. AJ is down and CS goes for a cover. Before a count could be made, AJ kicks out and both men get to their feet. Cyberstrike charges at AJ but he is taken down by a very DEEP armdrag. CS gets back up and he hits an incoming AJ with a hard elbow to the face. CS delivers a hard kick to the gut on Autobot Jazz before he drags him into his corner.

JR: “D-Extreme is tagged in yet again and both men send AJ to the ropes. CS catches him with an inverted atomic drop and D-Extreme connects with the running big boot onto the face of AJ.”
RK: “Man, that’s the second time both men used the finisher. JR, I think D-Ex and CS has a lot of more double team moves up their sleeves rather than just this move and the spiked piledriver.”

D-Extreme makes the cover on AJ but SFM breaks the pin before the 3 count could be made.

JR: “The referee counted the pin, but AJ’s partner was there to break it up.”
RK: “SFM better be lucky this aint a one-on-one match, if it were..he would have been ejected by the ref for breaking the pin.”

SFM goes back to his corner. D-Ex picks up AJ and delivers a couple of hard clubs to the back. AJ is sent to the ropes and D-Ex catches him with a powerslam. AJ lands hard on his back with that powerslam by D-Ex and he is left holding his back in pain. D-Ex climbs to the top turnbuckle and he waits for Autobot Jazz to get up on his feet.

RK: “D-Ex is on the top right now and I wonder what he has in store for AJ.”
JR: “Whatever it is, it might spell the end for AJ if it connects.”

AJ is up and we see D-Ex flying off the turnbuckle. D-Ex goes for his top rope spear, but AJ gets out of the way. D-Ex eats canvas and it seems he hit his head hard due to the crash. AJ delivers a couple of rights on the head of D-Ex before he sends him to the ropes. AJ catches him with a sleeper hold and D-Ex slowly, but surely, goes down on his knees from the submission move.

JR: “The missed top rope maneuver must have given D-Ex the big disadvantage right now, King. He might have suffered a concussion with that move. Right now, Autobot Jazz is using his ring smarts in hopes to eliminate this big man from this match and win this for his team.”
RK: “C’mon you big lug! DO NOT SURRENDER!”

We see signs of D-Ex trying to get out of the submission move, but AJ tightens his hold on D-Ex. D-Extreme slowly gets himself on both feet, but AJ hooks his legs across the mid-section of D-Ex while he still has the sleeper. After a few more seconds, D-Ex finally gets a few steps nearby the ropes and holds it for AJ to break the hold.

JR: “D-Ex finally got to the ropes before he could have cost his team the match. Autobot Jazz is just waiting for D-Ex to get up right now. D-Ex is using the ropes to climb his way up to a vertical base right now and I think he is still feeling a bit woozy.”
RK: “I think its nothing JR. I mean, c’mon…D-Ex is used to being lightheaded…cause in a 24 hour period…20 of his hours are either spent drinking or being drunk. Its like he is the X-WCW’s drunken master…only taller.”

D-Ex is on the corner while AJ goes towards him. AJ tries to grab D-Ex but D-Ex hits him hard with an elbow strike to the face. D-Ex turns around and starts to hit AJ with a couple of kicks to the mid-section. AJ staggers as D-Ex hits him hard with a haymaker to the face. D-Ex grabs AJ for a while before he shoots him off to the ropes. D-Ex tries to clothesline AJ but AJ slides down between his legs and goes behind him. AJ quickly applies yet another sleeper hold on D-Ex.

RK: “Oh no, not again.”

D-Ex fights it off quickly with some well placed elbow shots to the gut of AJ and forces ½ of the Final Frontier to let go. D-Ex quickly hoists AJ onto his shoulders and sends him down with a Samoan Drop. After pulling off that move, we see D-Ex rolling to the mat and holding his head.

JR: “He might have pulled a good move off, but D-Ex is in dire need of getting a tag.”
RK: “Your telling me JR. When I see him right now, it looks like I just delivered a piledriver on him 3 straight times on the ring mat. He needs to get to his corner more than AJ right now if he wants his team to win.”

We see D-Ex getting himself up and he makes his way to his respective corner for a tag. AJ meanwhile, is crawling over to his corner right now. CS gets tagged in and he sees Eamon X getting tagged by AJ on the other side. CS quickly goes towards the center of the ring and calls Eamon out. Eamon complies and he goes to the center of the ring. CS and Eamon staredown at each other as the crowd goes wild.

JR: “CS and Eamon have been tagged in, King! We do know both men hate the other and this is going to be one hell of a fight in this part of the match.”
RK: “Problem is, JR, Eamon aint a 100% coming off that match with Divebomb. So I tell you, CS has this match in the bag.”

Both men lock up but CS quickly kicks Eamon on his bandaged mid-section. Eamon goes down to his knees and CS slaps Eamon’s head around repeatedly. CS laughs as he picks up Eamon, but Eamon surprises him and backs CS to the nearby corner. EX starts to beat down CS on the corner with a flurry of kicks and clubs to the back. CS fights back after he blocks a club by Eamon and delivers another kick to the mid-section. Eamon staggers back and CS connects with a flying shoulderblock from the second rope.

JR: “Eamon is down after that shoulderblock by CS. Cyberstrike stomps away on the injured ribs of Eamon X, King.”
RK: “I told you, JR, CS has this match already. Eamon has NO CHANCE IN HELL to win with that injury.”

CS stalks EX who is getting up and he grabs him. CS signals for the breakdown, but Eamon blocks the move. Eamon spins around and kicks CS to the gut before taking down the nTo red leader with a DDT. Eamon quickly covers CS but CS gets his shoulder up by 2. EX slowly picks up CS and hits him with a couple of hard chops to the chest. After the second chop, CS fights back with a chop of his own. Soon enough, a chopping contest starts while the crowd starts to chant ‘WOOO’ after each chop made.

JR: “Both men are just chopping away at the other.”
RK: “Man, I sure hope someone loses cause the ‘woo’s are getting more annoying by the second, JR!”

Eamon ducks an incoming chop by CS and goes behind him. Eamon grabs him from behind and takes him down with a backdrop. CS is slowly getting to his feet while Eamon stalks him on his way up.

JR: “Eamon has CS on his sights right now, King. I am telling you, this could be over in a minute!”
RK: “Don’t turn around CS…your gonna have some BIG trouble if you do…oh no…”

CS turns around and Eamon kicks him right on the gut. Before CS knows it, its all too late as Eamon slams him down with the X-Blast. The ring is shook hard by the finisher and the crowd goes wild. Eamon goes for the pin, but TRD goes in the ring to stop it. Both SFM and AJ jump into the ring and waylay the large nTo member for Eamon to get the 1…2….3!

JR: “Its over! Its all over folks! Eamon X and Final Frontier get one up on the nTo red!”

TH: “The winners of this match as a result of a pinfall…EAMON AND FINAL FRONTIER!!!”

“Break and Enter” hits the PA systems as we see Eamon X getting his hand raised by the referee. On the other side of the ring, Final Frontier deliver a double dropkick on TRD and makes him stumble down to the outside of the ring.

RK: “Oh man..that was CHEAP! Eamon X did a CHEAP SHOT! This is not right, nTo red SHOULD have won it!”
JR: “Oh quit yer belly aching King, its all over anyway.”

All three men celebrate inside the ring to the delight of the crowd, until the music is cut and Cane’s music starts to play. Cane Deathscream enters the stage as TRD and D-Ex help CS get out of the ring.

CD: “Congratulations on your win tonight Eamon, and Final Frontier. Now I have an announcement to make before we close this program tonight…on Warzone, the tag team titles will be on the line.”

We see D-Ex and CS look at each other and then look back at CD. CS gives him a thumbs up and approves of the announcement.

CD: “I’m glad you approve of it Cyberstrike, I really do. Because on Warzone, it will be Team nTo defending their World Tag Team Titles against Xille and Ignavus!”

The crowd cheers after the announcement by Cane.

CD: “HOLD ON THERE! That is not all…ALSO…they will defend their International Tag Team titles against…FINAL FRONTIER!! And ladies and gentlemen..that…is all…good night!”

The cheers go louder as CS and D-Ex shake their heads. We hear CS shouting ‘that’s not right!’ to CD. Inside the ring, we see Final Frontier smirk at the baffled nTo team that is on the outside.

JR: “Bah gawd King! Both Tag Team Titles will be on the line on Warzone!”
RK: “NO! THAT IS NOT RIGHT! ITS NOT RIGHT AT ALL!!!”

Nitro goes to a close as we see the three nTo members walking up the ramp. Noticably, both CS and D-Ex do NOT look pleased by the announcement
