Last Time on X-WCW…
The Footage shows CD entering the ringside area after the main event match.
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! 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
The footage fades and we go into the usual Warzone intro. After the intro plays, we go to ringside and the stage pyros are set off. The fans are on their feet as the camera does a shot of them. We see a couple of crowd signs while the camera does some shots of the crowd. There are a few notable things to be read such as “Igz stole my couch”, “Bunny Rabbit > Jarrett” and “Eamon for president”. The cameras finally pan over to the announce table as JR and RK greet us from their sitting position.
JR: “Welcome everybody to another edition of X-WCW WARzone! Hello everyone, I am James Russell and alongside me as always is Randal King. We are here live from the Arsenal Stadium in Highburry UK…..this is where the X-World Tour began with Royal Bash 2…and it will be the venue to end the X-World tour here on Warzone!”
RK: “And what a way to say it, JR! Tonight, Team nTo will be pulling DOUBLE DUTY as they face off both Default and Final Frontier for their two tag team titles. Not only that JR, the LotR finals are going to be seen tonight! Jarrett vs Divebomb vs Eamon X…who could top that?”
JR: “JFA and JHA coming here and joining the announcing with us.”
RK: “Wait, so you haven’t told them we have an open spot here for Doubleshot?”
JR: “Not that I didn’t…our BoD tells us we shouldn’t be lazy and hire new guys to fill in those spots that either one of us and Cole Ryan hold in the pre-PPV shows.”
RK: “And there goes my weekend off…thanks a lot pal!”
“n…T…o”
“Immortal” plays throughout the PA Systems as we see Cyberstrike enter ringside. The fans boos the nTo red leader as he makes his way down the rampway. He slides into the ring with his ever so trusty kendo stick and raises it while he stands in the middle of the ring.
JR: “Here comes the leader of the nTo red, Cyberstrike.”
RK: “I bet something big has come up…aside from him and D-Ex retaining both titles later on the night.”
As his music cuts, the boos of the crowd are more audible than before. Cyberstrike is handed the microphone for him to address the public.
CS: “Now I know..that Cane usually welcomes you fans to the X-WCW, but this aint the usual night. Oh no! Tonight, I have an announcement to make. I have suspended Cane Deathscream and took off his power of General Manager for one night only. Cane, I hope you watching at home right now and regretting what you have done to me, to the nTo red, and to the WHOLE X-WCW roster. You say you did every match for the benefit of everyone? I don’t see that point since you have given me and D-Ex 2 matches at the same night! I do not see the point of you making the LotR finals a triple threat instead of just crowning Jeff Jarrett…a very DESERVING person since he won all of his matches. So I hope you use your spare time to think about what you’ve done.”
The fans start to chant ‘asshole’ at Cyberstrike before he starts to speak again.
CS: “But that’s not the only announcement I have tonight. Tonight, since me and D-Ex are pulling a little double duty ourselves…I feel that one of the two teams who we will face has to experience the same thing we will…alone. “
RK: “Alone? What the hell is he implying?!”
CS: “Ignavus will battle Otacon for the TV title! And Igz’s partner, Xille, will have to defend his tittle against R.E. Rage…IN A STREET FIGHT!”
JR: “Bah gawd! There will be a street fight to determine the X-WCW Xtreme title. I do not know how healthy Xille would be after that match.”
RK: “I like the way CS is thinking…give his opponents a taste of his pain…so when their match comes, it will be a fair game.”
CS: “Well folks that settles it for tonight. Now onto another matter, nTo white has been constantly trying to be a big pain in the ass for us. Sure, they might not be on Nitro last time or here tonight, but I don’t want to see another group using the nTo name. So this will be my next announceme…”
The lights go out and black and white lights start to strobe at the ringside area. “I Am” plays and the nTo white leader, AJ Styles appears at the stage with a mic on his hand. The fans go ballistic to see AJ back in the X-WCW.
AJ: “When you thought we were gone Cyberstrike, ah just had to come bargin in here!”
The fans chant “AJ” as the arena lights go back.
AJ: “Ya see, ah know your announcement and let me do this.”
We see CS shaking his head speaks.
CS: “Well..who the hell farted loud and gave YOU the permission to speak right now?”
AJ: “The X-WCW Board of directors..THATS WHO!”
RK: “Oh man, I like seeing AJ again, but he doesn’t have the right to speak right now!”
AJ: “Cyberstrike, like you, the BoD has informed me that someway, this war has to end. So on Doubleshot…its white vs red…in a WAR GAMES MATCH!”
The fans cheer at the announcement.
AJ: “Now ah know I have nothing to do tonight and the BoD has told me I have to leave the arena after this announcement…but I wanna say something to you Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike, your days with nTo red will soon be OVER!”
AJ smirks at Cyberstrike while “I am” hits the speakers yet again. X-WCW goes to a commercial break as AJ leaves the ringside area and CS is in the ring looking ticked off at AJ’s comments.
X-WCW TV Championship
Ignavus vs Otacon (c)
We go back from the commercial break for the first match in X-WCW Warzone! The camera pans over to the announce table where we see James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome back to Warzone! Up next will be the scheduled TV title match between Otacon and Ignavus. Otacon recently won the X-WCW TV title against 3 other men. During that match, Ignavus unfortunately was eliminated due to count out.”
RK: “He was? I thought he was just lazy to get back in the ring.”
TH: “The following X-WCW Television Title match is scheduled for one fall!!!”
“Leader of men” hits the speakers and we see Xille entering the stage.
RK: “JR…someone call security, cause I think an underage fan just went up stage.”
JR: “Oh shut up king!”
We see Xille looking at the entry way and he waits for someone, namely Ignavus, to get out to ringside. After a couple of calls to Igz, he shakes his head and storms back into the backstage. With the music still blaring, we get a glimpse of Xille dragging the sleeping Ignavus down the ramp.
TH: “Introducing first, being…led to the ring by his partner, from Simsburry Connecticut, IGNAVUS!!!”
The crowd gives Ignavus a mixed reaction as he is continually dragged all the way down the ramp by his partner. They stop at the end of the ramp and Xille lifts his partner on his shoulders. Xille struggles to walk towards the ring apron to roll his partner Igz, but succeeds anyway. With Ignavus inside the ring, we see Xille turning around to wait for his partner’s opponent.
RK: “I wonder why Ignavus is such a sloth. JR, in my career as a broadcaster, I have NEVER seen anything like this.”
JR: “I myself have never seen anything like this too, King.”
“Superstar” fills the PA Systems and the crowd goes into a frenzy as Otacon enters ringside.
TH: “And the opponent, from Manchester, England, he is the X-WCW Television champion, OTACON!!!”
Otacon makes his way down the ramp with a huge smile on his face. He stops for a while and he looks at the ring before he slaps his X-WCW TV belt. He slides into the ring and poses for the crowd while we hear Ignavus audible snoring.
RK: “His opponent is here and he’s STILL asleep?! Man, someone please wake this guy up.”
Otacon stands in the middle of the ring and scratches his head at the sight of Ignavus sleeping state. Xille slides into the ring and lightly kicks Ignavus on the side to wake him up. Ignavus mumbles a bit as he slowly gets to his feet. Xille slides to the outside of the ring as the match starts. Both men lock up and the TV champ quickly takes Igz down to his knees with a hard kick to the gut. Otacon picks Ignavus up and sends him to the ropes. The Con Man goes for a clothesline but Ignavus ducks down and he takes Otacon to the mat with a savate kick.
JR: “Ignavus kicks the Television champ with right on the chin and he goes down. Ignavus waits for Otacon to get up before he runs towards him and goes for a flying crossbody. Otacon catches Igz and he sends him down with a front slam. The Con man hooks the leg for the pin 1…tw-kickout by Ignavus.”
RK: “I don’t get it. I thought Ignavus was sleepy, and NOW he has the energy to kick out? What was that, a POWER NAP or something?!”
Otacon goes for the pin again, but Ignavus kicks out before the count could be made. Otacon backs away and gives Ignavus some time to get up, before he sends Igz rolling back to the mat with a hard knee strike to the gut. Otacon laughs at Igz while the almighty slacker gets up for the second time. Ignavus is not fazed by the disrespect and he charges at Otacon, who goes for the hiptoss. Ignavus blocks the hiptoss and kicks Otacon at the mid-section area before he back flips and goes behind Otacon to deliver a backdrop. Ignavus goes to the apron and waits for Otacon to get up. The Con Man slowly gets to his feet but before he could turn around to see Ignavus, Igz springs off the apron and takes him down with a bulldog. The fans give a huge pop after Ignavus performed that move.
JR: “What an impressive move there by the challenger! He just took Otacon down with a springboard bulldog!”
RK: “JR, remind me to drink whatever that guy drinks to make him all so energetic during matches. But then again, I might feel too lazy to do the commentary if I do drink it.”
Ignavus goes over Otacon for the cover, however, Otacon gets his shoulder up before the count of three. Ignavus picks up Otacon and backs him on the corner. Ignavus goes to the second rope and starts to pound away on the head of otacon 1…2….3…4….5…6….7..8…9….and Otacon sneaks in a low blow that the ref did not see. Otacon shoves Igz down to the mat and he goes to the top turnbuckle to deliver a flying elbow to his opponent.
JR: “What a cheapshot! He just hit Ignavus below the belt.”
RK: “He did? I didn’t see anything.”
JR: “Ignavus gets hit with that flying elbow by otacon and he is hurting right now. Otacon waits for Ignavus to get up and he scoops him up for a bodyslam. Ignavus wriggles free from Otacons grasps and he goes behind the con man. Ignavus turns Otacon around and hits him with a hard elbow to the face.”
Otacon staggers back and Ignavus grabs him to whip Otacon to the other side. Ignavus bounces off the ropes and he goes for a spinning headscissors on Otacon, but the con man converts it with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Otacon picks up Ignavus and he lights him up with a couple of hard chops to the chest. He backs Ignavus on the nearby corner and he starts to pummel down on the challenger.
JR: “Otacon is surely taking it hard on Ignavus right now in the corner, King.”
RK: “He is one hell of a fighting champion, JR. And that…just proves he is.”
Otacon stops pounding the challenger, and instead, he starts to choke him with his boot. The referee breaks up the choke of Otacon and separates the two from each other. Ignavus slowly gets himself up and goes to the top turnbuckle while Otacon and the referee start to argue. Ignavus launches himself off the top rope for a crossbody block on Otacon, but The Con Man notices it and gets out of the way. The referee, unfortunately, gets connected with the top rope move of Ignavus and goes down.
JR: “The referee has been knocked down by Ignavus. The challenger tried to connect a crossbody block on Otacon, but the champ got out of the way and instead, the referee paid the price.”
RK: “I’m telling you what, both Ignavus and the referee are still down….and I guess you can say one of them is actually snoring.”
Inside the ring, we see Ignavus still on top of the fallen referee and is sound asleep. On the other side of the ring, Otacon just shakes his head and slowly gets out of it. He goes to the outside of the ring and grabs the TV title from the time keeper.
JR: “What the hell, Otacon wants to use that title on Igz right now or something?”
RK: “I guess slapping the belt around Ignavus’ ass might wake him up. I think that’s good thinking from the part of Otacon.”
Otacon slides into the ring and he waits for Ignavus to get himself up slowly. The snoring has stopped and Otacon feels the time is now, for him to clock Igz’s head off!!! Otacon sees Ignavus getting up and he readies himself for the belt shot, but Xille gets into the ring and tries to grab the belt of Otacon’s hands. What it starts, is a tug of war between Otacon and Xille for the belt. In the end, Xille wins by grabbing the belt forcefully off the hand’s of Otacon. However, it was actually Otacon who let go off the belt. By reading the laws of physics, you would know the obvious outcome..no? Xille accidentally swings around with the belt on his hands and he hits the belt over the head of Ignavus. Ignavus goes down hard after the shot and Xille drops the belt and is in shock. This moment gives Otacon the chance to turn Xille around and delivers the Final Impact. After being hit by Otacon’s finisher, Xille rolls to the outside.
RK: “Hahaha! Xille just hit his OWN partner with the belt.”
JR: “King, I think it was just an accident. Right now, Iganvus is down and the referee is getting himself back up right now.”
Otacon sees the referee up so he kicks the belt out of the ring and covers the unconscious Ignavus for the count. The referee sees the cover being made..1…2….3. The match is over and Otacon’s music hits the speakers.
TH: “The winner and STILL X-WCW Television Champion…OTACON!!!”
The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Otacon is handed his X-WCW TV belt. Outside the ring, we see Xille getting up slowly with a disappointed look on his face. The camera pans over to the announce table with JR and RK.
JR: “What an opening match that was, King. It was full of action and at the same time, it was full of twists.”
RK: “Yeah, that was one unexpected finish with Xille screwing up and hitting his partner instead. I hope this doesn’t mean that Xille will be the next to lose his match by some unforeseeable circumstance.”
Backstage
We go backstage to see TRD making his way down the corridors. The new nTo member seems to be ready to go to the nearby pub for his bar room brawl, but before that, we see Cole Ryan stopping the tall man.
CR: “On Nitro, you became the newest member of the nTo and you joined CS and D-Ex take on EX and Final Frontier. How was it like being in the ring with the two top ranked nTo guys?”
TRD: “I know I should say it was intimidating, Cole. But it wasn’t like that. They didn’t pressure me to win for the team cause I know it was either Cyberstrike or D-Extreme to win for our team. Recently, I think CS is all caught up with the other team and I think D-Ex has been drinking a lot. Right now I think the rest of the nTo red members need to step up. Tonight, I will step up and win for the red and black.”
CR: “Speaking of which, you will face Karl Baller, do you have any comments for him?”
TRD: “Why, Cole, I do. Baller, you think you can handle 7 feet of talent like The Real Deal? I think you better go back to the ghetto..or whatever filthy street you live in before you face me. I am telling you know that I will DESTROY you and I will treat you like the street garbage that you are! You got 30 more minutes to live, Baller, use them wisely!”
TRD shoves CR aside and heads for the exit. The footage shows another backstage area where we see Xille and Ignavus making their way back to the locker room. Xille stops Igz for a while.
X: “C’mon dude! I’m sorry…I-I didn’t mean to ruin your match.”
Igz doesn’t say a word as he looks at X blankly.
Igz: “………I need a quick nap……”
Igz gets inside the locker room area and shuts the door while X is still outside. Xille lets out a deep sigh as he leaves the area. We see Xille leave the backstage area through the door that leads to the outside of the Arsenal Stadium
RK: “JR, Xille vs Rage is coming up next. Its gonna be one hell of a street fight!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break
X-WCW Xtreme Championship Match
Street Fight
Rage vs Xille (c)
JR: “We’re now crossing to a street near the arena, where Xille and R.E.Rage are about to engage in their Street Fight for the X-WCW Xtreme Title!”
RK: “It looks like they’ve started without us!”
And they have. Rage and Xille are already brawling in the middle of the street. Both men lock up, and before long, Xille gets the strength advantage, driving Rage back first into the side of a nearby Dumpster.
As Rage smarts from the cataclysmic impact, Xille waits for him to turn. And as soon as Rage has his back to Xille, Xille grabs him and lifts him up over his head, nailing an atomic drop right into the Dumpster!
A few moments later, Xille walks to the side, preparing to close the lid, but with a sudden adrenaline rush, Rage stands right up, grabbing Xille around the back of his head and bringing him face first onto the edge of the metallic Dumpster. The impact sends Xille stumbling backwards, and the now foul-smelling Rage jumps out to renew his attack.
Rage spears Xille right to the pavement, following the move with a pin attempt.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Kicking out of that move is difficult enough in a wrestling ring, let alone on an asphalt road!”
Although Xille got his shoulder up, Rage refuses to let him get up. Rage nails Xille with a few punches to the chest, but when Rage goes for Xille’s head with his final blow, Xille weaves to the right, causing Rage to hit the bitumen hard!
JR: “No matter how tough you are, that hurts like hell!”
RK: “Waiter! I’ll have one broken wrist and four busted knuckles please!”
JR: “Stop it!”
RK: “Well, that’s what happens!”
As Rage holds his badly hurting left hand, Xille gets back to his feet, locking Rage’s left arm in an arm wrench and bringing him to a parked car. Xille hip-tosses Rage into the side door of the car, lining Rage up for a pin attempt.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “I hope the owner of that car’s got good insurance!”
JR: “Hmmm…. isn’t that your rental car, Randal?”
RK: “Oh my God – IT IS, James! If anyone at Avis is watching: I’ll replace it – I promise!”
Rage gets up, nailing Xille with a low blow – unseen by the referee – and he then opens the door of the car.
Once Xille recovers from the low blow, Rage grabs him in a headlock and drives him face first into the car seat! He then proceeds to slam the door on Xille’s head several times!
Xille slumps to the pavement after this, and Rage decides to finish him off with a submission move: a Boston crab! He locks the semi-conscious Xille in the hold, and with no way of breaking it, Xille taps out!
The bell rings to end the brutally short match, and the referee hands the title belt to Rage.
TH: “Here’s your winner – and the NEW X-WCW Xtreme Champion – R.E.RAGE!”
The crowd inside the arena boos him heavily as he raises the belt in triumph.
JR: “Well, Rage got what he wanted! He’s back on the winners’ list!”
RK: “And with the brevity of that match, there’s a good chance that his Xtreme Title reign will be just as brief, if the 24/7 rule comes into effect!”
JR: “Perhaps so: we’ll have to check that. Meanwhile, we have to wonder how Xille will go in the World Tag Team Title Match, considering the injuries he’s just sustained to his cranium!”
RK: “Well, at the very least, he’ll have an aversion to driving for a little while!”
JR: “Very funny.”
Backstage
We go back from the commercial break to see Rage entering the backstage area with a big smile on his face. He has his newly claimed Xtreme Belt on his shoulders and he looks at it with glee.
Rage: “Just when you thought Rage was down, he gets yet another X-WCW Title. OH yeah baby!”
Rage makes a Ric Flair style ‘WOO!’ before he walks down the corridors. He is stopped on his tracks as he notices Judge Death infront of him.
JD: “Why hello there, Raggeee.”
Judge Death looks at Rage for a while before he circles around the new Xtreme Champ. Judge Death is seen wearing a rabbit fur coat, with the disturbing part of those rabbits…are all alive and are stapled together. Rage looks confused at the eccentric X-WCW superstar before he speaks.
Rage: “Wh-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKIN AT HUH?!”
JD: “Why, I am just marveling at your accomplisshhment. Yessss.”
Rage: “Well thank you then, now..I wanna go to my locker room now, if you don’t mind.”
JD: “Of courssse I don’t mind…RICKY. *snickers*”
Rage: “That is R.E. RAGE to you, CREEP!”
JD: “Hey jussst becccausssse I wear this coat, doesn’t make me ‘CREEPY’. You don’t sssseee me complain to my tailor when I sssspeccccifically told him to SKIN the bunniesss…not staple them alive.”
Rage: “Oh whatever then! Just leave me the hell alone, or I will kick your ass right now you freak!”
JD: “Now that issss not niccceee of you…champ. I just want to tell you, if no one wantssss to fffight you yet for your new belt, I am willing to challenge you for it at perhapssss…ssssstarrcade?”
Rage laughs for a while before he looks at JD again.
Rage: “Wait…YOU…against R.E. Rage?! For MY Xtreme title, at Starrcade: Xtreme?”
JD: “Welll…you didn’t hear me sssstutter no did you?”
Rage: “Since you are serious, then why not. You and me, Starrcade: Xtreme, ITS ON! Just remember Judge Death, the one who is gonna be charged for murder in that match, would be ME…cause I will beat the hell outta ya, those bunnies right there would be screaming and trying to escape from your coat just to spare themselves from the revolution in evolu-”
JD: “*Cuts off Rage* Ok chhekkky boy, I heard thhhhat before at Des Mionessss and I dddont want to hear your cccrap again! Just be ready by Starrcadde…cause I know I will…”
JD leaves the area with a maniacal laughter that leaves Rage standing there and thinking ‘what in the blue hell have I just gotten into?!’.
Flash Stryker vs Big Dog
We go back to ringside and the camera zooms in on the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone! This next match will be Flash Stryker against Big Dog.”
RK: “JR, did you see how Big Dog made short work of Grant Snell? That was impressive! Sure, Flash Stryker might be a veteran here already in the X-WCW, but he better be careful tonight. Big Dog is one hell of a competitor.”
“Speedway” hits the speakers and Flash Stryker makes his way down to the ring.
TH: “Introducing first, from Winnipeg, FLASH STRYKER!!!”
Flash Stryker slides into the ring as the fans give him a loud ovation of cheers. Flash goes to the top rope and poses for the crowd before doing a back flip from the second ropes.
RK: “Wow, that was impressive, JR. I never seen Flash doing that. Sure, I seen Xille or Igz, but never this guy.”
JR: “King, I think Flash Stryker is ready for his opponent.”
“Stupify” by Disturbed hits the speakers as Big Dog enters the ringside area.
TH: “And his opponent, from Knoxville Tennessee, he is BIG DOG!!!”
Big Dog strides down the ramp in a very cocky manner. The crowd starts the boos and jeers for this cocky competitor as he gets inside the ring. Big Dog goes to the center of the ring and flexes his muscles to the crowd. This doesn’t help Big Dog cause the crowd’s boos just got louder by the minute.
RK: “Look at that physique, JR. Tell me..JUST TELL ME that is not impressive, I dare you tell me that.”
JR: “I have to pass the dare cause I do think he has one impressive physique. But his muscles dont make him the winner, King. This aint no pose-down, he has to pin Flash Stryker for the 3 count to win it.”
The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring. Big Dog slowly raises his arm up and challenges Flash to a test of strength. Flash agrees and both men lock up for the test of strength. However, Big Dog kicks Flash hard on the gut immediately after they lockup. Big Dog follows his attack up with a combination of clubs to the back and a few knees to the mid-section of Stryker. BD sends Stryker to the ropes and catches him with a back body drop. Big Dog turns around and he sees Stryker standing infront of him.
JR: “Stryker landed on his feet after the back body drop and he starts to deliver a flurry of right hands to the newcomer. Big Dog is backed into that corner by Stryker and he gets punished with those continuous right hands. Big Dog fights back with a punch of his own and both men are just exchanging blows at that corner right now.”
RK: “Wow, both men don’t wanna be the loser in the end of this match, JR. They got the same level on intensity right now.”
The referee breaks up the brawl and forces Flash Stryker to back up for a bit. While Flash is being held back by the referee, Big Dog uses this time to charge at Stryker and take him down with a clothesline. Flash Stryker is momentarily down and Big Dog starts to deliver the boots to him.
JR: “Oh, that was such a cheap shot there by Big Dog.”
RK: “Ah c’mon now, JR! He took the opportunity to take down Flash Stryker.”
He picks up Flash Stryker and sends him towards the corner. He follows Flash Stryker towards the corner but as Flash is about to hit it, he floats over Big Dog. BD turns around and looks for a clothesline to Flash, but he ducks and he takes Big Dog down with a spinning heel kick. Big Dog is sitting down on the mat as he holds his teeth.
RK: “Damn! I think Big Dog lost a few teeth there from that kick.”
Flash Stryker continues his assault and lands a basement dropkick to the back of Big Dog. BD is picked up by Flash Stryker and is sent towards the nearest corner. BD hits the corner and he groans as his back is hit hard by the turnbuckles. Stryker runs towards the corner but BD catches him with a back body drop. Flash lands on the apron and BD goes for a clothesline. Flash ducks the clothesline but he gets hit by the second clothesline attempt of Big Dog. In a flashback of Paul London’s fall during the Royal Rumble, Flash Stryker takes a very sick looking drop to the outside of the floor while the crowd chants ‘holy sh*t!’
RK: “AARRGGHH! JR, someone call the paramedics!”
JR: “Bah gawd! Flash Stryker just got hit hard by that clothesline and I don’t think he has a big chance of getting back into the ring after that.”
The referee starts the ten-count as Big Dog looks on from the inside. The referee has counted mid-way to 5 and Big Dog starts to go towards the center of the ring to pose for the fans. Big Dog’s arrogant attitude irks the fans so much that the ‘holy shit’ chants stop and a ‘asshole’ chant starts up for him. Outside the ring, we see Flash Stryker moving his hand as the count of 6 is shouted by the referee. Flash slowly pulls himself up using the apron and he rests for a while as the referee counts to 7.
RK: “What in the?! Flash is up and Big Dog doesn’t even know it!”
JR: “Yes, the arrogance of this new comer has gotten the best of him right now cause bah goodness..Flash just slid back into the ring right now.”
Flash Stryker gets into the ring as the referee counts to 9 and he stands behind Big Dog. F-S turns BD around and greets him with a dropkick to the face. BD gets up after the dropkick and he charges at Flash Stryker, who takes him down again via an arm drag. Flash Stryker starts to put the boots on Big Dog as the fans chant his name.
JR: “Flash Stryker has gained some second wind after getting knocked down on that apron, King. Flash picks up Big Dog and he sends him to the ropes. Big Dog bounces off the ropes and F-S goes for a hurracanrana. Wait, Big Dog blocks the move and he converts with a sit-down powerbomb.”
Flash Stryker goes down to the mat and BD eventually falls down after the powerbomb he delivered. The referee starts the 10 count on both wrestlers who are down on the mat.
JR: “Both men are down right now after Big Dog reversed that hurracanrana into a powerbomb.”
RK: “I think that took the wind out of Big Dog too..he aint movin that much right now.”
The referee counts to 6 and both men are starting to get up on their feet. The referee counts to eight and both men are finally up. BD approaches Flash Stryker, but F-S keeps him at bay with some kicks to the mid-section. BD backs up and Flash Stryker continues to hit him with some more kicks before he goes for an Irish whip. Big Dog reverses the whip and he catches Flash Stryker with a spinebuster. Bog Dog goes for the pin, however, F-S gets a shoulder up by 2.
JR: “Flash gets a shoulder up and he is still in this match, King.”
RK: “He is, JR. But soon enough, he will lose to Big Dog.”
Big Dog picks up Flash Stryker and he sets him up for his finisher. Before BD could connect with the dog house deliver, Flash Stryker hits BD with an elbow to the side of the head. F-S continues to elbow BD on the head until he lets go of Flash. Flash bounces off the ropes and he takes down Big Dog with a spinning headscissors takedown. BD is down and Flash Stryker slowly makes his way to the top rope.
JR: “Flash Stryker takes the new comer down with the spinning headscissors and he is now making his way up to the top rope.”
RK: “Oh no. Things are not looking good for Big Dog right now.”
Flash Stryker launches himself from the top rope with a moonsault but he just eats canvas as Big Dog got out of the way. Flash Stryker is down and is visibly holding his head right now.
RK: “Bad move by Stryker. I think he just aggravated his head problems with that missed move.”
JR: “Flash Stryker slowly gets to his feet and he turns around to get a hard kick to the gut by Big Dog. BD has him in his grasps and…DOG HOUSE DELIVERY! Oh my, what an impact!”
Big Dog pins Flash 1..2…3 and the match is over.
TH: “The winner of this match…BIG DOG!!!”
“Stupify” fills the ringside area as Big Dog gets his hand raised by the referee. He slides out of the ring and has a big smirk on his face while the crowd boos him on his way back to the backstage area. We go to the announce table with JR and RK.
JR: “Big Dog continues his mean streak here with a win over Flash Stryker.”
RK: “I told you he was gonna win it didn’t I? I have an eye for talent, JR. Big Dog just proved us that he is capable of being here in the X-WCW. I cant wait to see this kid perform yet again.”
JR: “I like to watch Big Dog wrestle here again as well King. But up next, it will be Cyberstrike and D-Extreme taking on Xille and Ignavus for the X-WCW World Tag Team Titles..”
Backstage
Big Dog walks down the corridor for a while, but he stops at the sight of Cole Ryan.
CR: “Big Dog, that was one hell of a win for you tonight.”
BD: “You tell me that? I need a challenge, Cole Ryan. I tell you what, tonight, I SHOULD be the X-WCW Television Champ. Flash Stryker, you dropped the ball earlier and you lost that belt before I even had a chance to get my first X-WCW Gold!”
Just then, The Great One enters the scene and both him and Big Dog look at each other menacingly.
BD: “What in the blue hell are YOU doing here, man-whore?”
TGO: “I’m here to tell you that it should be ME who will be the next X-WCW TV champ! Its not that hard to see who has it going on since his debut in the X-WCW. Big Dog, all you do is talk and talk and talk your way and find a cheap way of defeating your opponents. You never met a man like me. Face it Doggy, you have no chance of getting to Otacon for his title.”
BD: “Why, you think YOU have a chance of beating him? C’mon, I tell you what buddy, here’s my two cents and they tell you to shut up before you get sent straight down to the dog house.”
Before TGO could react, Big Dog kicks him hard on the groin area. TGO falls down to the ground and clutches his crotch while we see Big Dog laughing at the fallen TGO before he leaves. X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
***COMMERCIAL BREAK***
We go to a black and white footage of Eamon X jogging up the stairs to the arena. The footage goes to slow motion as we hear his voice over.
Eamon V.O: "I've been training for a lotta matches in my career....but on this night...it will be a lot different."
The footage zooms in on Eamon while he goes down to his knees. The footage fades to black and comes back as we see Divebomb leaning on the locker room with his face covered by his arm.
Divebomb V.O.: "I've been on a lot of big wrestling events during my time....but this one is different..."
We zoom in on Divebomb who takes off his arm from the view and smiles at the camera. The footage fades to black before it comes back to show TGO looking at the camera.
TheGreatOne V.O.: "On this night...the atmosphere is different..."
The footage shows some arena filled with people cheering as the X-WCW stage pyros shoot off. We come back to see Tony Bonito circling in the ring like he is shadow wrestling.
Tony Bonito V.O. "On this night...not only is the pressure different, the stakes are different."
The footage shows D-Ex and TB locking up before it fades to black to show D-Ex taping his wrist on the locker room.
D-Extreme V.O.: "The difference of this night from any other night....its a night that makes you and breaks you as a wrestler...."
The colors bursts into color as the footage some how fast forwards to see D-Ex rising up quickly and raising his singapore cane with a roar. The footage then shows Divebomb's smile quickly turning into a deep stare into the camera. The footage quickly goes back into the full colored ring to see Bonito taking off his suspenders ala Kurt Angle as the footage fades to black and we see the following messages.
Coming soon.....
X-WCW's biggest event hits the earth...
For one more time....
"STARRCADDE: XTREME"
We go back to black and white to see Eamon's head slowly tilting up to face the camera.
Eamon V.O: "United Center...here I come!"
X-WCW comes back after the break and we go to the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone! Our next match will be an open challenge Bar Room Brawl!”
RK: “How in the blue hell did this happened JR?”
JR: “Since you asked, I’ll answer that. After Nitro was over, the new member of the nTo red, The Real Deal challenged anyone in the X-WCW locker room to fight him in the bar room brawl challenge. Out of nowhere, a newcomer by the name of Karl Baller accepted the challenge. Since your aware Cyberstrike is in-charge of the matches tonight, he approved of it before the show went on-air. Lets take you now to the highburry pub where TRD is waiting for Karl Baller to enter the place.”
Bar Room Brawl
The Real Deal vs Karl Baller
We enter the pub to see TRD sitting down on a chair next to the bar. The Pub seems to be a nice place with a lot of good furnishings for a pub and a person playing the piano well. TRD gets up from his chair to see someone entering. The camera angle shifts into the outside where we can only see the person’s back.
TRD: “Well finally you arrived you punk! Now are you up for this challenge or are you just gonna tell me right now you wanna leave this joint?”
?: “Yo yo yo! I tell ya’ll, I aint only up for dis challenge but I’m up on kickin yo ass!!!”
The camera angle changes and we see the challenger for TRD is none other than Karl Baller. The man from the ghetto is fully dressed in street clothes and he charges at TRD. Before TRD knew it, KB takes him down with a thez press and starts pounding away. TRD rolls over and goes on top of Baller to start pounding away on him after what KB did earlier. TRD gets up after delivering the punishment to KB and reaches out for a bar stool. TRD swings the chair at Baller, but KB ducks the stool and kicks TRD to the gut. KB starts to hit TRD with some hard right hands and backs him onto the bar. TRD reaches for a nearby beer bottle and he smashes it on the head of KB.
RK: “Ouch. That one just has to hurt the noggin of the newcomer, JR.”
JR: “Karl Baller did not see that thing coming, King. TRD has Baller reeling and he takes him down with a big boot to the face.”
KB goes down and we see TRD climbing up the bar to do something. TRD jumps off the bar and delivers a flying leg drop across the throat of Karl Baller. Baller is picked up by TRD and he delivers some punches to the newcomer. Baller blocks a punch and he takes TRD down with a hard haymaker to the face.
RK: “Yikes! That sure knocked the taste outta TRD’s mouth.”
JR: “That was one hard punch there by Karl Baller to TRD. TRD gets himself up and Baller greets him with a beer bottle over the head of TRD.:
RK: “Karma can be a bad mistress, JR. TRD shouldn’t have done that to Baller earlier.”
TRD staggers back and Baller grabs another beer bottle and smashes it over TRD’s head to make the bigger man fall down. Baller backs up for a while before he delivers a running first drop on the face of TRD. He picks up TRD and he hits a couple of clubs to the back of TRD
JR: “KB delivers a couple of hard clubs to the back of TRD and he connects with a hard kick to the gut.”
RK: “What is this kid trying to do? He is going for a suplex?!”
KB attempts a vertical suplex on the taller and bigger opponent. However, this attempt fails and TRD reverse the momentum to deliver a snap suplex on KB. TRD picks up KB, but KB fights back with some hard punches to the mid-section of The Real Deal. TRD reels back after a hard punch on the face by KB. Karl Baller follows it up with a flying shoulder tackle that sends TRD down to the floor.
JR: “Baller connects with a flying shoulder tackle on the taller opponent! Karl Baller now, getting a chair stool and he waits for The Real Deal to get up on his feet.”
RK: “Oh no! DUCK!!!”
The Real Deal gets on a vertical base and turns around only to be hit by the bar stool. TRD falls back to the ground as Karl places the bar stool back to the nearby bar area. Karl Baller drags TRD over to the nearby bar table and places him over there.
Baller: “Ok punk, time for yo to feel the numba one single! Ya heard?!”
Baller goes to the nearby bar and launches himself from it to deliver the frog splash that he calls ‘the number one single’. TRD, however, rolls out of the table and Karl Baller crashes through the bar table. The table is broken in two and we see KB motionless on the floor.
JR: “Bah gawd, I think that was a bad move by Karl Baller. He just crashed and burned on that table, King!”
RK: “Both men are down right now, JR. Baller aint moving, but I can see TRD crawling towards the nearby bar.”
We see TRD inside the bar and he grabs something inside the bar. He pulls out a baseball bat and he slowly gets up from the bar before jumping off it. He waits for Baller to get up before he delivers one hard baseball bat swing at the head of KB. The bat breaks in two as Baller falls down hard on the floor. TRD tosses the bat on the floor before looking at the fallen KB. He notices a referee entering the bar and he pins Karl Baller.
JR: “The pin and he counts 1…2…3! The Real Deal wins over Karl Baller in this contest.”
TRD’s arm is raised as a few of the guys inside the pub cheer. We go back to ringside where the camera pans over to the announce table.
RK: “That baller kid was good..but not good enough to defeat The Real Deal. TRD is one hell of a big man and will be dominating this federation for years to come.”
JR: “Indeed he is, King. Tonight, we will find out WHO among the three men will face Blaster at Starrcadde. But up next ladies and gents, we will see the X-WCW World Tag Team Titles being defended as CS and D-Ex face Xille and Igz. Do not go away, WARZONE WILL BE BACK!”
Backstage
We see Blaster walking down the corridors of the X-WCW backstage area. He stops as he notices Divebomb. Both men have a staredown in the middle of the corridor before DB speaks up.
DB: “So, you here to see me win the match, Blaster?”
Blaster: “No, I’m just here to see who I have to face at Starrcadde.”
DB: “Look no further, punk, your looking at him already.”
Blaster: “Don’t be so confident Divebomb. We all know you aint won anything yet.”
DB: “Yeah, I haven’t won…YET….”
DB nods before he walks past Blaster. We go back to ringside as we see Blaster looking as DB walks away from him.
X-WCW World Tag-Team Championship
Xille and Igz vs Cyberstrike & D-Extreme(c)
We go back to ringside and we see Terri Hotbody in the middle of the ring.
TH: “The following X-WCW World Tag Team Title match is scheduled for one fall.”
JR: “Welcome back to Warzone. Our next match will feature Default taking on the tag team champs. Earlier tonight, Otacon defeated Ignavus to retain his title.”
RK: “You did know what happened during that match right JR? Xille screwed up for his partner. After that match, Xille got his ass kicked by R.E. Rage and lost his Xtreme Title. Face it, JR, I think Xille and Ignavus are not having such a good night tonight. Right now they will face the champs for the tag team titles. Igz is a bit mad at Xille and Xille is still hurting after that street fight he had…there is NO WAY they can win this match.”
“Highwire Escape Artist” hits, and Xille makes his entrance alone.
JR: “Where’s Ignavus?”
RK: “If I know him correctly, he’s probably asleep in the locker room!”
15 seconds pass, and after a shout of “Come on Igz!” from Xille, Ignavus finally appears on stage with a yawn. Both men approach the ring to a decent face pop from the crowd.
TH: “The following contest is set for one fall, and is for the X-WCW World Tag Team Championships! Introducing first: the challengers, they are the team of Xille and Ignavus – DEFAULT!”
Both men enter the ring.
A moment later, “n-T-o” is heard, then “No Chance” hits, and the current champions – Cyberstrike and D-Extreme – make their way to the ring accompanied by a thunderous boo from the crowd.
TH: “And their opponents: representing nTo Red, they are the current X-WCW World Tag Team Champions – CYBERSTRIKE and D-EXTREME!”
The booing continues as they enter the ring and hand their belts to the referee.
The bell rings, and Igz and D-Ex start the proceedings for each team. But instead of locking up with D-Ex, Igz goes for an infamous move – The Finger Poke of Doom – on him. Naturally, D-Ex does not budge: he laughs, then he floors Igz with an Undertaker-style thrust to the throat.
With Igz on the mat, D-Ex goes for a blatant chokehold, but Xille enters the ring and breaks it up with an axe handle smash to D-Ex’s back. The referee sees this, and sends Xille back to his corner.
Cyberstrike, meanwhile, uses this distraction to his advantage. While the ref is seeing to Xille, he enters the ring, and both he and D-Ex pick up Igz and whip him to the back ropes before hitting a double boot to the face on him. Cyberstrike sneaks out of the ring before the ref notices him, and D-Ex goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. CLOSE!”
JR: “Way to officiate a match, ref! That should’ve been a DQ right there!”
RK: “You don’t cross the boss! You should know that!”
JR: “Well, I’m sure as hell NOT going to brown-nose him!”
Slowly but surely, Igz gets up, only to be further punished by the much larger D-Ex. D-Ex stuns Igz with a flurry of punches before picking him up and dropping him into a stiff kneebreaker.
D-Ex turns to Cyberstrike, tagging him into the match, and Cyberstrike goes to work on the downed Igz with a longbow backbreaker submission hold!
RK: “This could be it! Come on boss!”
JR: “Winning a match without some dirty trick up his sleeve? That’d be a first.”
Although Igz is showing no sign of submitting, Xille steps back into the ring and breaks the hold anyhow. Once again, the ref sends him to the outside, and once again, another nTo trick occurs. This time, D-Ex makes use of the distraction, sneaking into the ring behind the rising Igz and nailing him with a reverse DDT. He sneaks back out, then Cyberstrike goes for a pin just as the ref turns to face him.
JR: “1…. 2…. HE’S UP!”
RK: “Dammit Ignavus – you’re supposed to be a slacker! Lay down!”
Igz gets up slowly, but once he does, Cyberstrike resumes his attack. He grabs Igz from behind, driving him toward the back left corner and preparing for a belly to back suplex, but with a sudden and unexpected surge of energy, Igz reverses the move into an acid drop! This enables Igz to tag Xille into the match, and Xille wastes no time in delivering a baseball slide to Cyberstrike’s chest. Cyberstrike rolls over in pain, then Xille capitalizes on this by locking him in an inverted STF!
JR: “Even though Xille’s still fairly new to this company, that move is the mark of a true professional!”
RK: “It’s a shame his ring positioning is still quite amateurish, though! He’s WAY too close to the back ropes!”
Sure enough, Cyberstrike is able to reach the bottom rope, breaking the hold. Xille allows Cyberstrike to get up, and then he tries to whip Cyberstrike into the back ropes, but Cyberstrike reverses the move, whipping Xille into the front ropes. On the rebound, Cyberstrike catches Xille, hitting a swinging body slam on him! Cyberstrike tags D-Ex back into the action, and both nTo Red members grab Xille’s legs, executing a nasty double wishbone leg splitter on him!
RK: “Xille won’t want any action on that groin of his for weeks after that!”
JR: “And we don’t want any more FCC fines, so shut it!”
RK: “D-Ex is going for the pinfall! 1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “A VERY lucky escape there!”
With Cyberstrike out of the ring, D-Ex allows Xille to rise, then he signals for The Xtreme Factor!
JR: “Oh no! D-Extreme wants to finish this with authority!”
RK: “YES! Put him through the mat!”
D-Ex places Xille in the headscissor position, lifting him up to execute the destructive finisher. But at the last moment, Xille slips out, landing on his feet and grabbing D-Ex by his legs, bringing him to the mat. Xille catapults D-Ex into the left ropes, and as D-Ex rebounds, Xille manages to tag Igz back into the action.
JR: “Igz is in the ring right now, King.”
With D-Ex on the mat, Igz mounts the front left turnbuckles and yawns, effectively signaling for his finishing move: the 4am Flier! At the same time, Xille races around the outside of the ring to face Cyberstrike and prevent any possible interference. As Xille and Cyberstrike fight on the outside, Igz nails his finisher on D-Ex on the inside! Igz goes for the pin, hooking D-Ex’s legs in an almost helpless position!
JR: “SLACKER TOWER! D-Extreme is down for the count…”
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! NO, NO, NO!”
JR: “D-Extreme gets up, but it’s too late! He can’t believe it!”
RK: “I can’t believe it either! Default showed more ass than class!”
JR: “We have NEW World Tag Team Champions in SENSATIONAL circumstances! And the fans are loving it!”
The fans let out a thunderous cheer for the new champions!
TH: “Here are your winners – and the NEW X-WCW World Tag Team Champions – DEFAULT!”
Xille joins Igz in the ring, and the referee hands them their belts. On the outside, Cyberstrike and D-Ex are still stunned, but instead of storming the ring and attacking the new champions, they leave.
RK: “Look on the bright side: they still have the International Tag Team Championships! And they’ve got a good chance of retaining them against Eamon X’s flunkies – The Final Frontier – later on tonight!”
JR: “In a steel cage, no less! Stay tuned for that!”
X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Tidal vs Wolfang (c)
“Boiler” hits, and after his usual entrance spectacle, Tidal appears on stage to a wall of heel heat.
TH: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, the challenger: from England – TIDAL!”
The heavy booing continues as Tidal approaches the ring.
Upon his arrival, “Brutal Planet” hits, and Wolfang makes his way out to the ring to a somewhat mixed fan response.
TH: “And his opponent: from St. Helens, Merseyside, England, he is the current X-WCW U.S. Champion – WOLFANG!”
The crowd indifference continues as Wolfang races to the ring. As soon as Wolfang enters it, he rips his title belt right off and wastes no time in engaging Tidal.
The bell rings to officially start the match, and both men are brawling on the mat. Before long, the more experienced Wolfang gains the upper hand, and he brings the slightly dazed Tidal to his feet, whipping him into the right ropes and hitting a dropkick on Tidal on the rebound.
Tidal gets up quickly, and as Wolfang rises, Tidal is quick to hook Wolfang’s left arm and drop him with a knee to the face. Tidal goes for the first pinfall.
JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “Tidal’s wasting no time here! And considering they’re both British, can we call this match The Battle of Britain?”
JR: “Way to respect those who died to protect the freedom of millions in World War II, Randal. Yeesh.”
RK: “Sorry James – I had to try!”
Wolfang gets up, but Tidal resumes his assault in no time: he whips Wolfang into the back left corner, following it up with a number of running back elbow smashes. After the fourth elbow smash, Wolfang staggers out of the corner, only to be caught by Tidal, who hits a stiff pendulum backbreaker right in the middle of the ring! Tidal goes for another pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. And a bit!”
JR: “Wolfang’s not that easy to beat, mind you!”
Wolfang gets up again, but as Tidal grabs his right arm for a short arm clothesline attempt, Wolfang reverses it into a Crippler Crossface!
JR: “My God! Wolfang could have this title defence in the bag!”
RK: “I’ve got to tell you: his ring positioning is absolutely perfect!”
JR: “Good call! They’re nowhere near any of the ring ropes!”
RK: “Wait a minute – here comes Tempest!”
Sure enough, Tempest makes his way to the ring from the backstage area. The fans boo him heavily on the outside, and on the inside, the referee is still checking for a submission from Tidal. Of course, this is not forthcoming, but in any case, Tempest enters the ring. He walks up behind both Wolfang and Tidal, grabbing them by the side of their heads and bashing them together!
The referee calls for the bell as Tempest continues to pound on both men. Terri confers with the referee, and makes her announcement.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the referee has declared this match a No Contest, on account of Tempest’s interference! Therefore, Wolfang remains the X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion!”
Tempest looks up and smiles sadistically. He turns his attention to the referee, and with a shout of “I…. smell…. MASSACRE!”, he nails the poor referee with a Thunder Press!
JR: “Oh come on! It’s bad enough that the match was a non-event, but assaulting the ref like that is just not called for!”
RK: “I think he’s sending a message to Wolfang in doing this! I suspect there’s a few issues between both of those men that might be resolved sooner rather than later!”
JR: “You may be right about that! On the flip side, some much better matches are coming right up!”
RK: “That’s right! So stay with us!”
LotR II-The Final
Double Elimination Match
Eamon X vs Divebomb vs Jeff Jarrett
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone. We got a special treat for you fans right now, it is the Final Round of the LotR tournament. From 16 men, it boils down to the final 3 competitors. We will show you a footage recapping how this thing started.”
*****
We go to the WARtron as it starts to show the hype video of the upcoming match.
Last February…
We are shown the footage of the Eamon vs Divebomb match in black and white. We see DB arguing to the referee while Eamon X is still down on the canvas. Meanwhile, we see Cyberstrike coming down the ramp with the nTo kendo stick.
JR: “Hey, its Cyberstrike! What in the hell is he doing here?!”
RK: “Guess he wants to watch it up close and personal? I know I would if I were a guy in the locker room.”
Cyberstrike slides into the ring while the referee is still arguing with Divebomb on the corner. Eamon X slowly gets up in the ring. But before he could get up to his feet, Cyberstrike smacks it over the head of Eamon. The referee sees it and so does D-Bomb. Divebomb doesn’t have a time to react as he sees CS running towards him and blasting him with the kendostick as well. Divebomb is down on the mat as the referee signals the time keeper to ring the bell. The bell is rung while CS goes over to Eamon X and picks him up before delivering the breakdown.
TH: “As a result of a double disqualification…the match is declared a DRAW!”
The footage fades to black as CS is standing over the fallen Eamon X while raising the bent up kendo stick.
CD: “Last show, the Eamon X and Divebomb match was declared a double disqualification by the referee. Not only that, but as a result, the title was held vacant. Last week, me and the board of authorities were discussing about this matter and we have come up with a conclusion for this matter. The decision shall STAND! The title is and will remain vacated until further notice.”
While Cane Deathscream speaks, we are shown the black and white footage of Cyberstrike assaulting both Divebomb and Eamon X.
CD: “That ‘further notice’ I mentioned was the compromise the BoD made earlier this day. The X-WCW will conduct the 2005 LORD OF THE RING TOURNAMENT! Instead of the usual PPV event, the matches for the LOTR tourney shall be featured tonight and on the next X-WCW events leading up to Starrcade Xtreme! Blaster has won the Royal Bash…so the winner of the tournament shall be declared the X-WCW UW Champ a few weeks before the PPV itself and WILL face Blaster in the main event of Starrcade Xtreme! So what the hell are we waiting for..let us start this thing!”
The footage of Cane fades to black and Neurotica’s “Ride of your life” starts to play.

Before we see how the nTo was stopped, we go quickly to a SFM vs PMP highlight.
”The ride of your life
Of your LIFE!!! “
At the end of the verse, we see Final Frontier celebrating after SFM gets the upset win over PMP. The music goes to its instrumental intro yet again as we see SFM getting pinned by Jarrett at the semi-finals.

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!”
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: “SIXTEEN MEN….3 AT THE FINALS…WHO IS GONNA TAKE IT ALL?!”
*****
TH: “The following triple threat match is for the Lord of the Ring 2005 Finals!!!”
“n…T…o”
“My World” hits the speakers as the black and red lights strobe through the ringside area.
TH: “Introducing first, from Nashville Tennessee, nTo red member...JEFF JARRETT!”
The fans give Jarrett a round of boos as he makes his way down the aisle.
JR: “Out of all the three men, I think Jarrett is the least deserving person to win this match. Most of the times, he won his matches using his guitar.”
RK: “Speaking of which, I notice he is holding a new guitar. I wonder why its color white right now.”
Jarrett gets in the ring and raises his new white guitar in the air before handing it to a ringside attendant. “My last serenade” by Killswitch Engine plays through the speakers as the lights dim down for a bit.
TH: “From Burnaby, BC….DIVEBOMB!!!”
The pyros shoot up on stage before Divebomb enters the ringside area. The fans give the former X-WCW Champion a mixed reaction as he makes his way down the ramp.
JR: “Divebomb, the former X-WCW UW Champ, is making his way on the ring right now. This man has a lot to prove tonight as he needs to silence all the criticism and win this match, and get back his X-WCW UW title.”
RK: “Divebomb didn’t need help to get that belt, JR. If Cane wasn’t there, no one would have saved Eamon X from getting his ass kicked.”
Divebomb slowly enters the ring and goes to the top rope. He poses for the crowd before he motions the belt-in-waist gesture to signal that he will get the belt soon. “Break and Enter’ plays at the speakers as the crowd goes up on its feet to anticipate the final competitor.
TH: “And from Australia…EAMON X!!!”
The pyros explode on stage as the music continues to play on. After the smoke clears, Eamon X enters the ringside area and makes his way down the ramp. He does some high fives with the fans on his way to the ring as they start the ‘Eamon’ chants.
JR: “Eamon X, whether you like it or not, is one of X-WCW’s most charismatic wrestlers in its history”
RK: “Yeah, he is like a pop machine, he can say any word at the end of the sentence and the crowd would just eat it up. Like that Mugatu person from the ‘zoolander’ movie, he makes earrings out of dog poo and the Queen of England would still wear it.”
Eamon slides into the ring and carefully glances at his two opponents. The bell rings and all three men look at each other and await who will take the first strike. Eamon looks to charge Divebomb but Jarrett charges at EX. EX stops and notices Jarrett going his way. EX takes Jarrett down with a hiptoss and turns around to see Divebomb, who then delivers one hard kick to the gut of EX. Divebomb delivers a number of punches to Eamon X while he backs him into the ropes and tries to whip him to the other side. EX reverses the Irish Whip and sends DB to the other side. Eamon catches Divebomb with a back body drop to the outside. EX turns around and he gets hit by a shoulder charge on the mid-section by DB on the apron. EX staggers back and he is caught by Jarrett with a Russian legsweep.
JR: “Jarrett floors EX with that Russian Legsweep.”
RK: “If Jarrett did the inverse of that move, I think EX would have been STROKE’d already.”
Jarrett goes for the pin but we see DB entering the ring and breaks it up by two. Jarrett gets up and he shoves DB. DB looks furious and he shoves Jarrett back. Jarrett gets shoved into a schoolboy pin of Eamon X and the referee counts 1…2..Kickout.
JR: “Divebomb does not break up the pin this time, King. I think he realizes that this match is an elimination type of three-way.”
RK: “I think he already did, JR. I guess he just wants the match to come down to him and Eamon.”
Jarrett kicks out of the pin attempt and he gets up on his feet. Eamon X gets up and takes Jarrett down with a short arm clothesline. Jarrett gets up yet again, only to be taken down by EX with another clothesline. EX picks up Jarrett and scoops him for a bodyslam, but Jarrett slithers out of EX’s hands and gets behind him. Jarrett locks the sleeper hold and we see Divebomb walking towards the two with a grin. With the sleeper hold locked on at EX, Divebomb starts to punch away on the mid-section of Eamon.
JR: “Oh c’mon, that is just so low of Divebomb. DB is just handing out a number of cheap shots to a defenseless Eamon X.”
RK: “Well he wont be defenseless if he wasn’t stupid enough to be locked on that sleeper now would he?!”
DB stops the punches as Jarrett lets go and shoves Eamon X down the mat. Both men start to stomp down on Eamon inside the ring. JJ and DB pick EX up and they whip him across the ropes. They try to take him out with a double clothesline but EX ducks down to avoid it. EX bounces off the other end and he takes Jarrett and Divebomb down with a double flying shoulder tackle.
JR: “Eamon X connects with the desperation move right there.”
RK: “You call that desperate, I seen men dancing their way to the ring to delight the fans, now that’s desperate.”
JR: “Like your distant nephew from 2 cool?”
RK: “*twitching*…I have no nephew!…”
Jarrett is the first man up and he picks up EX. EX fights out of Jarrett’s grasps as he delivers some hard shots to the gut of Double J. Meanwhile, Divebomb rolls out of the ring for some apparent reason. EX bounces off the ropes and connects with a dropkick that sends Jarrett falling to the outside. Outside the ring, we see Jarrett down and Divebomb stomping down on him. Inside the ring, Eamon X is climbing on the top rope.
JR: “Eamon is going up, King. Something big is about to happen here!”
RK: “It better not be a big blown spot, that’s for sure!”
Outside the ring, we see DB noticing Eamon X on the top rope. As EX launches himself to the outside, DB grabs Jarrett and shoves him into the direction where EX goes down on. EX connects with a flying cross body on Jarrett while DB gets out of harms way.
RK: “Did you see that JR?! Hahaha, Divebomb is one smart S.O.B!”
JR: “Want to know an interesting fact King? Divebomb recently told me that, this is not the only triple threat match he will be involved in..actually on both the 2NLW and the AWF has him involved also in triple threat matches that has a title on the line with him on both matches.”
RK: “Just goes to show you JR, X-WCW superstars are always in high demand on other wrestling federations! Heck, I hear my boy R.E. Rage is in the same triple threat match with Divebomb. So I dunno who to bet on next week!”
DB slides inside the ring and waits for either Eamon or Jarrett to get up. The referee starts the ten count while both Jarrett and EX are still outside the ring. By the count of 6, both men start to get up from the outside floor. As both men are on their feet outside, we see Divebomb launching off from the ring and connecting with a planca to take down both men.
JR: “Divebomb just floored both Eamon and Jarrett with that springboard planca.”
RK: “Oh boy, this guy is getting better by the matches. I tell you, Divebomb is gonna win this thing for sure!”
DB gets up first and he grabs Eamon. He rolls Eamon into the ring before he slides back in. DB picks up EX and he backs him into the corner. DB starts to deliver the shoulderblocks on EX while Jarrett is seen sliding back into the ring. DB places EX on the top rope and it looks like he will deliver a superplex, but Jarrett spins Divebomb around and starts to hit him with a couple of clubbing blows. Double J tries to send DB to the ropes but DB reverses the whip. DB catches Jarrett and takes him down with a spinebuster.
JR: “Divebomb hits Jarrett with that spinebuster, bah gawd! I think Jarrett must have been broken in half with that powerful maneuver.”
RK: “Somewhere, I bet AA would be proud of that spinebuster by Divebomb. But if I were DB, I’d be turning around now.”
EX stands on the second turnbuckle and waits for DB to turn around before he crowns him with a double axe handle smash. DB goes down after that move by EX while Jarrett slowly crawls towards the corner. Eamon sees Jarrett resting on the corner and he makes his way there. Jarrett kicks EX on the gut a couple of times before he grabs him to switch places. With EX’s back on the corner, Jarrett hits one mighty chop. A chop so mighty, that it echoes throughout the building. A chop so mighty, it gets a ‘wooo!’ from the crowd. Not to be outdone, EX shoves Jarrett before he delivers one hard chop to the chest of Jarrett. Jarrett staggers back before he gets himself on the level base to go for another chop. EX takes this opportunity to duck the chop and go behind Jarrett. With EX behind Jarrett, he takes him down with an overhead belly to back toss. Jarrett goes down to the mat while we see Eamon X getting up to his feet. Eamon turns around and Divebomb takes him by surprise with an STO.
RK: “Who-hoa! Out of nowhere! Divebomb just leveled Eamon with an STO, JR!”
JR: “EX is down on the mat and Divebomb takes his attention towards Jarrett. Jarrett is getting himself up by the help of the ropes before DB grabs him by the hair and pulls him up. Jarrett is on a vertical base now as DB starts to deliver some hard punches to the face of the nTo red member.”
DB sends Jarrett to the other side of the ropes. DB bounces off the nearby ropes and he meets Jarrett mid-ring before he takes him down with a running STO. Divebomb kneels for a while and shouts at the air before getting up to see EX. Eamon X is at the nearby corner, pulling himself up while DB approaches him. EX gets up and he hits a couple of kicks to the gut of DB to back him off for a while. EX charges at DB ,who stops him with a hard kick to the gut. DB goes for a suplex but Eamon X lands behind Divebomb and goes for a German Suplex. Divebomb stops the German suplex attempt with a well placed elbow to the face of EX and he grabs one of EX’s hand to lock on an arm wrench. EX quickly reverses the momentum of the submission move to his favor and goes behind DB while the submission is locked. DB slowly turns around and he crouches before he takes down EX with a fireman’s carry. EX goes down and Divebomb quickly applies a sleeper hold on Eamon X.
JR: “Eamon is locked on that sleeper hold right now, King.”
RK: “I see that, but, why do I see someone just..standing on the entrance way. Its just a shadow from here but I can see him watching at the ringside, JR.”
The mystery man looks on from the dark corner of the entrance way as we see EX slowly getting up in the ring while the submission move is still locked by DB. Eamon tries to run towards the ropes but DB uses his weight to send EX sliding down to his knees while the submission move is locked on. EX slowly gets up and tries yet again, but it turns out to be the same result. The third time EX gets up, he starts to deliver a couple of slow elbow strikes due to the fact of the sleeper taking its toll on him. After a couple of those strikes, he eventually frees himself and he hits a hard kick to the gut of Divebomb before he sends him towards the ropes. EX bounces off the ropes and he tries to take DB down with the clothesline. To EX’s disappointment, DB ducks the clothesline and he hits the referee instead. On the other side of the ring, we see Jarrett having some minimal movements.
JR: “The referee is down and DB bounces off the other side of the ropes. EX turns around and both men take each other out with a clothesline to the other men! All three men are down. Jarrett is showing a bit of movement right now, but DB and EX are just outcold right now.”
RK: “I think that wrestling clinic they put on earlier took its toll on them, JR.”
The mystery man finally walks down the ramp while wearing a hooded jacket to hide his identity. He grabs the white guitar and he slides it in for Jarrett, who is already on his feet. Jarrett grabs the guitar and has a grin on his face after he spots EX getting up on his feet. He approaches Eamon slowly as the Australian gets himself into a vertical base and he swings the guitar at him. Eamon, however ducks the swing and the guitar hits Divebomb instead, who also was getting up until the guitar sends him down the mat yet again. EX kicks Jarrett in the mid-section and he levels him with the X-Blast.
JR: “X-BLAST!!! Jarrett is down on the mat and Eamon X is going over to the downed referee.”
RK: “Eamon is waking the ref up, JR. But, I advise him to turn around right now before he gets into some trouble!”
The hooded man slides into the ring and spins Eamon around and hits him hard with a kick. He takes off his hood to reveal that he is Cyberstrike and sets EX up for the Breakdown. Eamon hits him on the side of the head to block the move and tosses him over the ropes. CS goes to the outside of the ring and EX turns around to see an incoming Jeff Jarrett. EX ducks the clothesline and grabs Jarrett for the backslide pin. With the referee regaining consciousness, he counts the pin.
JR: “1..2…3! Jarrett has been eliminated in this match!”
RK: “Oh no! Divebomb is gonna be next right now! He is barely moving after that guitarshot, JR!”
The referee tells Jarrett to clear out of the ring, but the irate Jarrett starts to argue with the ref about the count. While the ref Is distracted, we see Eamon leaning on the ropes and laughing at Jarrett but his laughter stops as CS delivers a lowblow on Eamon from the outside. Eamon goes down to his knees before falling face first into the mat after being hit below the belt by CS.
JR: “Damn it! Cyberstrike just took a cheapshot on Eamon while the referee is still busy with Jarrett.”
RK: “Eamon is down, JR! Hahaha…and look, Divebomb is crawling towards him. C’mon champ!”
DB finally reaches the downed Eamon and he drapes his arm over him. Jarrett finally leaves the ring and the ref sees the pin.
JR: “1…2…3…this is not right, King. I am telling you, this is not right!”
RK: “Oh shut up, JR! Its ALL RIGHT!”
TH: “The winner and the 2005 Lord of the Ring…DIVEBOMB!”
DB’s music plays as the referee raises his hand in triumph. Divebomb is helped up by the referee while we see Jarrett and CS smirk at the outside of the ring on their way to the backstage. Terri Hotbody enters the ring to hand the trophy to Divebomb. DB grabs the trophy and heads towards the nearby turnbuckle. He climbs to the top and it in celebration while the crowd gives him a surprisingly mixed reaction.
JR: “The crowd is not unanimous about their feelings here tonight, King. But me, I really feel disgusted at what CS did. This match was not fair at all..you know it!”
RK: “If you asked me, I say Jarrett should have won to make it fair. But hey, I like Divebomb, cause he can shut up EX anytime of the day!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as DB continues to celebrate his victory.
X-WCW International Tag-Team Championship
Steel Cage Match
The Final Frontier vs Cyberstrike and D-Extreme (c)
A roofless steel cage, shaped to fit snugly around the ring, hangs ominously above the arena floor.
TH: “The following is a Steel Cage Match! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW International Tag Team Championships!”
Before long, “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” hits, and both members of The Final Frontier make their way onto the stage, receiving a massive cheer from the fans in attendance.
TH: “Introducing first, the challengers: the team of Autobot Jazz and Sci Fi Man – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
The heavy cheering continues as AJ and SFM head to the ring.
After this, “n-T-o” is heard on the PA system, followed by “No Chance”. Cyberstrike and D-Extreme return to the stage, receiving an equally loud boo from the crowd.
TH: “And their opponents: representing nTo Red, they are the current X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – CYBERSTRIKE and D-EXTREME!”
JR: “As the nTo Red team make their way to the ring, here are a few reminders about this match: there are no tags, disqualifications, eliminations or count outs, but pinfalls and submissions are legal!”
RK: “And there are no doors on the cage, so the other way to win is for both members of one team to climb out over the top of it!”
JR: “And it ought to be a good old-fashioned barn burner too!”
RK: “Going down: one cage!”
The cage is lowered into position, and as the referee takes the title belts, the bell rings to start the match!
The brawling commences immediately. AJ goes straight for Cyberstrike, while SFM mans up against D-Ex. They end up fighting in opposite corners, but Cyberstrike and D-Ex – on account of their greater experience – manage to get the upper hand after a few moments.
With their opponents subdued for the moment, the nTo Red members whip AJ and SFM into the middle of the ring, causing them to collide!
RK: “HA HA! They’re large and in charge, James!”
JR: “And if The Final Frontier don’t recover quickly, Randal, this match could be over quickly!”
Sure enough, both nTo Red members start to climb the cage. Though both Final Frontier members don’t stay down for long: AJ is the first to get up, and he manages to grab Cyberstrike’s leg and bring him back to the mat. And SFM climbs up after D-Ex, pulling him back down.
AJ grabs Cyberstrike by the arm, dropping him into a single arm DDT and going for a quick pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. D-Ex breaks it up!”
RK: “Wrestling matches don’t get any more cutthroat than this!”
AJ goes after D-Ex as a result of this, while SFM goes for Cyberstrike.
AJ attempts a chokehold of sorts on D-Ex, but D-Ex – with his much greater size and strength – counters this by grabbing AJ around the throat and lifting him straight up! He slams AJ into the left wall of the cage, before turning around and dropping him into a Baldo Bomb!
Meanwhile, SFM and Cyberstrike are brawling in the back right corner. They tie up, but Cyberstrike manages to thrust SFM into the corner, following up the move with a series of hard chest chops. Naturally, a loud “WHOO!” follows each one, but SFM simply shrugs them off, and after blocking the last one, he knocks Cyberstrike to the mat with a hard headbutt!
RK: “Why isn’t anyone going for a fast pinfall here?”
JR: “With the nature of these matches, it would be more prudent to wear the opponents down first, I guess!”
As this happens, D-Ex is pressing his advantage against AJ. After nailing AJ with several hard punches, he lifts him into a fallaway slam position, but instead of hitting that particular move, he charges into the front left corner and back: an Oklahoma Stampede!
JR: “WOW! That’s a Doctor Death special there!”
RK: “Speaking of which, The Final Frontier will be BEGGING for euthanasia after this match!”
JR: “Not THAT Doctor Death, doofus!”
RK: “Sorry!”
D-Ex goes for the pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. Sci Fi Man breaks it up!”
JR: “And I think Autobot Jazz is keen to do another switcheroo here!”
SFM goes after D-Ex, leaving Cyberstrike to attack AJ once again. While AJ is still on the mat, Cyberstrike grabs both of his legs, tying them up in a Darklight Hold!
RK: “YES! You can do it, boss! You’ve got this one in the bag!”
JR: “I don’t hear any bells ringing, so it’s not over by a long shot!”
As Cyberstrike keeps the hold locked in, SFM and D-Ex are fighting in the middle. Before long, D-Ex gains the strength advantage once more, hurling SFM right into the back wall of the cage. As SFM rebounds, D-Ex nails him with one of his signature moves: The X-Ocution!
JR: “X-OCTION! D-Ex nailed SFM with his finishing move!”
RK: “ITS ALL OVER FOLKS!!!”
Meanwhile, and despite the pain, AJ refuses to submit to Cyberstrike’s Darklight Hold. He starts to creep around to the bottom left rope, and after a struggle, he finally reaches it, causing Cyberstrike to release him. Noticing D-Ex climbing the cage in an effort to escape it, Cyberstrike begins to do the same. However, once he is halfway up, AJ surges to his feet, getting underneath Cyberstrike and bringing him right to the mat with a modified Energon Drainer!
JR: “Good God in Heaven! What a desperate and effective move by Autobot Jazz!”
RK: “I guess so, but can Sci Fi Man make a difference on the other side?”
D-Ex reaches the top of the cage, but before SFM can shake the cage to get him off, D-Ex jumps into a bionic elbow, prompting a “HOLY SHIT!” chant from the crowd and knocking SFM to the mat senseless.
Nearby, Cyberstrike and AJ have resumed their conflict. With SFM virtually unconscious, D-Ex joins in the battle. AJ is unable to withstand the relentless assault of the nTo Red members, and after several stiff punches and kicks each, Cyberstrike and D-Ex double-whip AJ into the right wall.
On AJ’s rebound, D-Ex kicks him in the gut, then he positions him for an Xtreme Factor, hitting the move successfully. But D-Ex does not go for the pin: instead, he allows Cyberstrike to pick AJ up and hit his own signature move – The Breakdown – on his hapless opponent.
JR: “This is just too much. Just pin them and have done with it, please!”
RK: “Why? I like it when the boss exerts his authority! That’s what he’s here for!”
With a call of “Let’s blow this joint!”, Cyberstrike starts to climb up the left wall of the cage, with D-Ex close behind him. The fans’ boos turn to cheers, though, when EAMON X charges out from backstage!
RK: “NO! It’s Eamon X! He has no business being in this match!”
JR: “I haven’t seen him this intense in a LONG time!”
By the time the nTo Red members notice EX’s arrival, it’s too late. EX launches himself at full speed into the left side of the cage, causing them both to lose their grip and footing, and leaving a large indent in the cage itself!
RK: “I knew it! Eamon X has more courage than sense! He’ll only hurt HIMSELF if he keeps this up!”
JR: “I don’t think he gives a damn! He’s just sick of the nTo Red running roughshod over this entire company!”
Outside the ring, EX grabs the ring steps, placing them parallel to the left wall. He takes another run up and rams the cage AGAIN, causing both Cyberstrike and D-Ex to come crashing to the mat!
Both members of The Final Frontier, having recovered from their previous beatings to some degree, are able to move themselves into pinning predicaments on both nTo Red members.
JR: “1…. 2…. 3! NEW CHAMPIONS!”
RK: “I don’t believe it! The boss has been robbed not once, but TWICE in the same night! And if I were Eamon X, I’d be thinking about typing a new resume right now!”
The bell rings, and the fans erupt for their new champions!
TH: “Here are your winners – and the NEW X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
The cage is raised, and the newly crowned champions join Eamon X on the outside. A furious Cyberstrike screams for Terri’s microphone!
CS: “NOW WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE! Eamon X, you have interfered with my affairs for the very last time!”
EX grabs a microphone of his own.
EX: “You’ve left me no choice. For too long, you and your stooges have been running this company into the ground, and since most of the people in the back are powerless to stop it – on account of the clauses you’ve slipped into their contracts – it falls to me to set things right! And I intend to do just that at Starrcade Xtreme! How does a Triple Threat Theatre Series sound to you?”
CS: “Fine by me! So fine, in fact, that I’ll place the following stipulations on it! One: the Number One Contendership to the Ultimate World Title will be decided in this match! And two: the three matches will be a Street Fight, a Cage Match, and a Ladder Match!”
The crowd cheers wildly at this prospect.
CS: “And while we’re adding stipulations, let me add two more, just because I can! One: The ring itself will not have regular ropes – it’ll have BARBED WIRE ones! And two: since this company isn’t big enough for the both of us, Eamon, I have two words for you – LOSER LEAVES!”
The crowd is stunned.
EX: “Terms accepted.”
With that said, EX and The Final Frontier leave ringside.
RK: “This has the potential to be the biggest main event in Starrcade history, James!”
JR: “Perhaps, but all of this has left me in shock, Randal.”
RK: “What else is new? Eamon X just signed his own pink slip, as far as I’m concerned!”
JR: “He might have done just that. I have a bad feeling about this!”
RK: “Well, Eamon X should’ve thought twice before helping out his flunkies! And someone’s got to put him in his place!”
JR: “We’ll see what happens at Starrcade Xtreme! For Randal King and Cole Ryan, I’m James Russell! Goodnight, and thanks for watching!”
The Footage shows CD entering the ringside area after the main event match.
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! 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
The footage fades and we go into the usual Warzone intro. After the intro plays, we go to ringside and the stage pyros are set off. The fans are on their feet as the camera does a shot of them. We see a couple of crowd signs while the camera does some shots of the crowd. There are a few notable things to be read such as “Igz stole my couch”, “Bunny Rabbit > Jarrett” and “Eamon for president”. The cameras finally pan over to the announce table as JR and RK greet us from their sitting position.
JR: “Welcome everybody to another edition of X-WCW WARzone! Hello everyone, I am James Russell and alongside me as always is Randal King. We are here live from the Arsenal Stadium in Highburry UK…..this is where the X-World Tour began with Royal Bash 2…and it will be the venue to end the X-World tour here on Warzone!”
RK: “And what a way to say it, JR! Tonight, Team nTo will be pulling DOUBLE DUTY as they face off both Default and Final Frontier for their two tag team titles. Not only that JR, the LotR finals are going to be seen tonight! Jarrett vs Divebomb vs Eamon X…who could top that?”
JR: “JFA and JHA coming here and joining the announcing with us.”
RK: “Wait, so you haven’t told them we have an open spot here for Doubleshot?”
JR: “Not that I didn’t…our BoD tells us we shouldn’t be lazy and hire new guys to fill in those spots that either one of us and Cole Ryan hold in the pre-PPV shows.”
RK: “And there goes my weekend off…thanks a lot pal!”
“n…T…o”
“Immortal” plays throughout the PA Systems as we see Cyberstrike enter ringside. The fans boos the nTo red leader as he makes his way down the rampway. He slides into the ring with his ever so trusty kendo stick and raises it while he stands in the middle of the ring.
JR: “Here comes the leader of the nTo red, Cyberstrike.”
RK: “I bet something big has come up…aside from him and D-Ex retaining both titles later on the night.”
As his music cuts, the boos of the crowd are more audible than before. Cyberstrike is handed the microphone for him to address the public.
CS: “Now I know..that Cane usually welcomes you fans to the X-WCW, but this aint the usual night. Oh no! Tonight, I have an announcement to make. I have suspended Cane Deathscream and took off his power of General Manager for one night only. Cane, I hope you watching at home right now and regretting what you have done to me, to the nTo red, and to the WHOLE X-WCW roster. You say you did every match for the benefit of everyone? I don’t see that point since you have given me and D-Ex 2 matches at the same night! I do not see the point of you making the LotR finals a triple threat instead of just crowning Jeff Jarrett…a very DESERVING person since he won all of his matches. So I hope you use your spare time to think about what you’ve done.”
The fans start to chant ‘asshole’ at Cyberstrike before he starts to speak again.
CS: “But that’s not the only announcement I have tonight. Tonight, since me and D-Ex are pulling a little double duty ourselves…I feel that one of the two teams who we will face has to experience the same thing we will…alone. “
RK: “Alone? What the hell is he implying?!”
CS: “Ignavus will battle Otacon for the TV title! And Igz’s partner, Xille, will have to defend his tittle against R.E. Rage…IN A STREET FIGHT!”
JR: “Bah gawd! There will be a street fight to determine the X-WCW Xtreme title. I do not know how healthy Xille would be after that match.”
RK: “I like the way CS is thinking…give his opponents a taste of his pain…so when their match comes, it will be a fair game.”
CS: “Well folks that settles it for tonight. Now onto another matter, nTo white has been constantly trying to be a big pain in the ass for us. Sure, they might not be on Nitro last time or here tonight, but I don’t want to see another group using the nTo name. So this will be my next announceme…”
The lights go out and black and white lights start to strobe at the ringside area. “I Am” plays and the nTo white leader, AJ Styles appears at the stage with a mic on his hand. The fans go ballistic to see AJ back in the X-WCW.
AJ: “When you thought we were gone Cyberstrike, ah just had to come bargin in here!”
The fans chant “AJ” as the arena lights go back.
AJ: “Ya see, ah know your announcement and let me do this.”
We see CS shaking his head speaks.
CS: “Well..who the hell farted loud and gave YOU the permission to speak right now?”
AJ: “The X-WCW Board of directors..THATS WHO!”
RK: “Oh man, I like seeing AJ again, but he doesn’t have the right to speak right now!”
AJ: “Cyberstrike, like you, the BoD has informed me that someway, this war has to end. So on Doubleshot…its white vs red…in a WAR GAMES MATCH!”
The fans cheer at the announcement.
AJ: “Now ah know I have nothing to do tonight and the BoD has told me I have to leave the arena after this announcement…but I wanna say something to you Cyberstrike. Cyberstrike, your days with nTo red will soon be OVER!”
AJ smirks at Cyberstrike while “I am” hits the speakers yet again. X-WCW goes to a commercial break as AJ leaves the ringside area and CS is in the ring looking ticked off at AJ’s comments.
X-WCW TV Championship
Ignavus vs Otacon (c)
We go back from the commercial break for the first match in X-WCW Warzone! The camera pans over to the announce table where we see James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome back to Warzone! Up next will be the scheduled TV title match between Otacon and Ignavus. Otacon recently won the X-WCW TV title against 3 other men. During that match, Ignavus unfortunately was eliminated due to count out.”
RK: “He was? I thought he was just lazy to get back in the ring.”
TH: “The following X-WCW Television Title match is scheduled for one fall!!!”
“Leader of men” hits the speakers and we see Xille entering the stage.
RK: “JR…someone call security, cause I think an underage fan just went up stage.”
JR: “Oh shut up king!”
We see Xille looking at the entry way and he waits for someone, namely Ignavus, to get out to ringside. After a couple of calls to Igz, he shakes his head and storms back into the backstage. With the music still blaring, we get a glimpse of Xille dragging the sleeping Ignavus down the ramp.
TH: “Introducing first, being…led to the ring by his partner, from Simsburry Connecticut, IGNAVUS!!!”
The crowd gives Ignavus a mixed reaction as he is continually dragged all the way down the ramp by his partner. They stop at the end of the ramp and Xille lifts his partner on his shoulders. Xille struggles to walk towards the ring apron to roll his partner Igz, but succeeds anyway. With Ignavus inside the ring, we see Xille turning around to wait for his partner’s opponent.
RK: “I wonder why Ignavus is such a sloth. JR, in my career as a broadcaster, I have NEVER seen anything like this.”
JR: “I myself have never seen anything like this too, King.”
“Superstar” fills the PA Systems and the crowd goes into a frenzy as Otacon enters ringside.
TH: “And the opponent, from Manchester, England, he is the X-WCW Television champion, OTACON!!!”
Otacon makes his way down the ramp with a huge smile on his face. He stops for a while and he looks at the ring before he slaps his X-WCW TV belt. He slides into the ring and poses for the crowd while we hear Ignavus audible snoring.
RK: “His opponent is here and he’s STILL asleep?! Man, someone please wake this guy up.”
Otacon stands in the middle of the ring and scratches his head at the sight of Ignavus sleeping state. Xille slides into the ring and lightly kicks Ignavus on the side to wake him up. Ignavus mumbles a bit as he slowly gets to his feet. Xille slides to the outside of the ring as the match starts. Both men lock up and the TV champ quickly takes Igz down to his knees with a hard kick to the gut. Otacon picks Ignavus up and sends him to the ropes. The Con Man goes for a clothesline but Ignavus ducks down and he takes Otacon to the mat with a savate kick.
JR: “Ignavus kicks the Television champ with right on the chin and he goes down. Ignavus waits for Otacon to get up before he runs towards him and goes for a flying crossbody. Otacon catches Igz and he sends him down with a front slam. The Con man hooks the leg for the pin 1…tw-kickout by Ignavus.”
RK: “I don’t get it. I thought Ignavus was sleepy, and NOW he has the energy to kick out? What was that, a POWER NAP or something?!”
Otacon goes for the pin again, but Ignavus kicks out before the count could be made. Otacon backs away and gives Ignavus some time to get up, before he sends Igz rolling back to the mat with a hard knee strike to the gut. Otacon laughs at Igz while the almighty slacker gets up for the second time. Ignavus is not fazed by the disrespect and he charges at Otacon, who goes for the hiptoss. Ignavus blocks the hiptoss and kicks Otacon at the mid-section area before he back flips and goes behind Otacon to deliver a backdrop. Ignavus goes to the apron and waits for Otacon to get up. The Con Man slowly gets to his feet but before he could turn around to see Ignavus, Igz springs off the apron and takes him down with a bulldog. The fans give a huge pop after Ignavus performed that move.
JR: “What an impressive move there by the challenger! He just took Otacon down with a springboard bulldog!”
RK: “JR, remind me to drink whatever that guy drinks to make him all so energetic during matches. But then again, I might feel too lazy to do the commentary if I do drink it.”
Ignavus goes over Otacon for the cover, however, Otacon gets his shoulder up before the count of three. Ignavus picks up Otacon and backs him on the corner. Ignavus goes to the second rope and starts to pound away on the head of otacon 1…2….3…4….5…6….7..8…9….and Otacon sneaks in a low blow that the ref did not see. Otacon shoves Igz down to the mat and he goes to the top turnbuckle to deliver a flying elbow to his opponent.
JR: “What a cheapshot! He just hit Ignavus below the belt.”
RK: “He did? I didn’t see anything.”
JR: “Ignavus gets hit with that flying elbow by otacon and he is hurting right now. Otacon waits for Ignavus to get up and he scoops him up for a bodyslam. Ignavus wriggles free from Otacons grasps and he goes behind the con man. Ignavus turns Otacon around and hits him with a hard elbow to the face.”
Otacon staggers back and Ignavus grabs him to whip Otacon to the other side. Ignavus bounces off the ropes and he goes for a spinning headscissors on Otacon, but the con man converts it with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Otacon picks up Ignavus and he lights him up with a couple of hard chops to the chest. He backs Ignavus on the nearby corner and he starts to pummel down on the challenger.
JR: “Otacon is surely taking it hard on Ignavus right now in the corner, King.”
RK: “He is one hell of a fighting champion, JR. And that…just proves he is.”
Otacon stops pounding the challenger, and instead, he starts to choke him with his boot. The referee breaks up the choke of Otacon and separates the two from each other. Ignavus slowly gets himself up and goes to the top turnbuckle while Otacon and the referee start to argue. Ignavus launches himself off the top rope for a crossbody block on Otacon, but The Con Man notices it and gets out of the way. The referee, unfortunately, gets connected with the top rope move of Ignavus and goes down.
JR: “The referee has been knocked down by Ignavus. The challenger tried to connect a crossbody block on Otacon, but the champ got out of the way and instead, the referee paid the price.”
RK: “I’m telling you what, both Ignavus and the referee are still down….and I guess you can say one of them is actually snoring.”
Inside the ring, we see Ignavus still on top of the fallen referee and is sound asleep. On the other side of the ring, Otacon just shakes his head and slowly gets out of it. He goes to the outside of the ring and grabs the TV title from the time keeper.
JR: “What the hell, Otacon wants to use that title on Igz right now or something?”
RK: “I guess slapping the belt around Ignavus’ ass might wake him up. I think that’s good thinking from the part of Otacon.”
Otacon slides into the ring and he waits for Ignavus to get himself up slowly. The snoring has stopped and Otacon feels the time is now, for him to clock Igz’s head off!!! Otacon sees Ignavus getting up and he readies himself for the belt shot, but Xille gets into the ring and tries to grab the belt of Otacon’s hands. What it starts, is a tug of war between Otacon and Xille for the belt. In the end, Xille wins by grabbing the belt forcefully off the hand’s of Otacon. However, it was actually Otacon who let go off the belt. By reading the laws of physics, you would know the obvious outcome..no? Xille accidentally swings around with the belt on his hands and he hits the belt over the head of Ignavus. Ignavus goes down hard after the shot and Xille drops the belt and is in shock. This moment gives Otacon the chance to turn Xille around and delivers the Final Impact. After being hit by Otacon’s finisher, Xille rolls to the outside.
RK: “Hahaha! Xille just hit his OWN partner with the belt.”
JR: “King, I think it was just an accident. Right now, Iganvus is down and the referee is getting himself back up right now.”
Otacon sees the referee up so he kicks the belt out of the ring and covers the unconscious Ignavus for the count. The referee sees the cover being made..1…2….3. The match is over and Otacon’s music hits the speakers.
TH: “The winner and STILL X-WCW Television Champion…OTACON!!!”
The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Otacon is handed his X-WCW TV belt. Outside the ring, we see Xille getting up slowly with a disappointed look on his face. The camera pans over to the announce table with JR and RK.
JR: “What an opening match that was, King. It was full of action and at the same time, it was full of twists.”
RK: “Yeah, that was one unexpected finish with Xille screwing up and hitting his partner instead. I hope this doesn’t mean that Xille will be the next to lose his match by some unforeseeable circumstance.”
Backstage
We go backstage to see TRD making his way down the corridors. The new nTo member seems to be ready to go to the nearby pub for his bar room brawl, but before that, we see Cole Ryan stopping the tall man.
CR: “On Nitro, you became the newest member of the nTo and you joined CS and D-Ex take on EX and Final Frontier. How was it like being in the ring with the two top ranked nTo guys?”
TRD: “I know I should say it was intimidating, Cole. But it wasn’t like that. They didn’t pressure me to win for the team cause I know it was either Cyberstrike or D-Extreme to win for our team. Recently, I think CS is all caught up with the other team and I think D-Ex has been drinking a lot. Right now I think the rest of the nTo red members need to step up. Tonight, I will step up and win for the red and black.”
CR: “Speaking of which, you will face Karl Baller, do you have any comments for him?”
TRD: “Why, Cole, I do. Baller, you think you can handle 7 feet of talent like The Real Deal? I think you better go back to the ghetto..or whatever filthy street you live in before you face me. I am telling you know that I will DESTROY you and I will treat you like the street garbage that you are! You got 30 more minutes to live, Baller, use them wisely!”
TRD shoves CR aside and heads for the exit. The footage shows another backstage area where we see Xille and Ignavus making their way back to the locker room. Xille stops Igz for a while.
X: “C’mon dude! I’m sorry…I-I didn’t mean to ruin your match.”
Igz doesn’t say a word as he looks at X blankly.
Igz: “………I need a quick nap……”
Igz gets inside the locker room area and shuts the door while X is still outside. Xille lets out a deep sigh as he leaves the area. We see Xille leave the backstage area through the door that leads to the outside of the Arsenal Stadium
RK: “JR, Xille vs Rage is coming up next. Its gonna be one hell of a street fight!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break
X-WCW Xtreme Championship Match
Street Fight
Rage vs Xille (c)
JR: “We’re now crossing to a street near the arena, where Xille and R.E.Rage are about to engage in their Street Fight for the X-WCW Xtreme Title!”
RK: “It looks like they’ve started without us!”
And they have. Rage and Xille are already brawling in the middle of the street. Both men lock up, and before long, Xille gets the strength advantage, driving Rage back first into the side of a nearby Dumpster.
As Rage smarts from the cataclysmic impact, Xille waits for him to turn. And as soon as Rage has his back to Xille, Xille grabs him and lifts him up over his head, nailing an atomic drop right into the Dumpster!
A few moments later, Xille walks to the side, preparing to close the lid, but with a sudden adrenaline rush, Rage stands right up, grabbing Xille around the back of his head and bringing him face first onto the edge of the metallic Dumpster. The impact sends Xille stumbling backwards, and the now foul-smelling Rage jumps out to renew his attack.
Rage spears Xille right to the pavement, following the move with a pin attempt.
RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Kicking out of that move is difficult enough in a wrestling ring, let alone on an asphalt road!”
Although Xille got his shoulder up, Rage refuses to let him get up. Rage nails Xille with a few punches to the chest, but when Rage goes for Xille’s head with his final blow, Xille weaves to the right, causing Rage to hit the bitumen hard!
JR: “No matter how tough you are, that hurts like hell!”
RK: “Waiter! I’ll have one broken wrist and four busted knuckles please!”
JR: “Stop it!”
RK: “Well, that’s what happens!”
As Rage holds his badly hurting left hand, Xille gets back to his feet, locking Rage’s left arm in an arm wrench and bringing him to a parked car. Xille hip-tosses Rage into the side door of the car, lining Rage up for a pin attempt.
JR: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
RK: “I hope the owner of that car’s got good insurance!”
JR: “Hmmm…. isn’t that your rental car, Randal?”
RK: “Oh my God – IT IS, James! If anyone at Avis is watching: I’ll replace it – I promise!”
Rage gets up, nailing Xille with a low blow – unseen by the referee – and he then opens the door of the car.
Once Xille recovers from the low blow, Rage grabs him in a headlock and drives him face first into the car seat! He then proceeds to slam the door on Xille’s head several times!
Xille slumps to the pavement after this, and Rage decides to finish him off with a submission move: a Boston crab! He locks the semi-conscious Xille in the hold, and with no way of breaking it, Xille taps out!
The bell rings to end the brutally short match, and the referee hands the title belt to Rage.
TH: “Here’s your winner – and the NEW X-WCW Xtreme Champion – R.E.RAGE!”
The crowd inside the arena boos him heavily as he raises the belt in triumph.
JR: “Well, Rage got what he wanted! He’s back on the winners’ list!”
RK: “And with the brevity of that match, there’s a good chance that his Xtreme Title reign will be just as brief, if the 24/7 rule comes into effect!”
JR: “Perhaps so: we’ll have to check that. Meanwhile, we have to wonder how Xille will go in the World Tag Team Title Match, considering the injuries he’s just sustained to his cranium!”
RK: “Well, at the very least, he’ll have an aversion to driving for a little while!”
JR: “Very funny.”
Backstage
We go back from the commercial break to see Rage entering the backstage area with a big smile on his face. He has his newly claimed Xtreme Belt on his shoulders and he looks at it with glee.
Rage: “Just when you thought Rage was down, he gets yet another X-WCW Title. OH yeah baby!”
Rage makes a Ric Flair style ‘WOO!’ before he walks down the corridors. He is stopped on his tracks as he notices Judge Death infront of him.
JD: “Why hello there, Raggeee.”
Judge Death looks at Rage for a while before he circles around the new Xtreme Champ. Judge Death is seen wearing a rabbit fur coat, with the disturbing part of those rabbits…are all alive and are stapled together. Rage looks confused at the eccentric X-WCW superstar before he speaks.
Rage: “Wh-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKIN AT HUH?!”
JD: “Why, I am just marveling at your accomplisshhment. Yessss.”
Rage: “Well thank you then, now..I wanna go to my locker room now, if you don’t mind.”
JD: “Of courssse I don’t mind…RICKY. *snickers*”
Rage: “That is R.E. RAGE to you, CREEP!”
JD: “Hey jussst becccausssse I wear this coat, doesn’t make me ‘CREEPY’. You don’t sssseee me complain to my tailor when I sssspeccccifically told him to SKIN the bunniesss…not staple them alive.”
Rage: “Oh whatever then! Just leave me the hell alone, or I will kick your ass right now you freak!”
JD: “Now that issss not niccceee of you…champ. I just want to tell you, if no one wantssss to fffight you yet for your new belt, I am willing to challenge you for it at perhapssss…ssssstarrcade?”
Rage laughs for a while before he looks at JD again.
Rage: “Wait…YOU…against R.E. Rage?! For MY Xtreme title, at Starrcade: Xtreme?”
JD: “Welll…you didn’t hear me sssstutter no did you?”
Rage: “Since you are serious, then why not. You and me, Starrcade: Xtreme, ITS ON! Just remember Judge Death, the one who is gonna be charged for murder in that match, would be ME…cause I will beat the hell outta ya, those bunnies right there would be screaming and trying to escape from your coat just to spare themselves from the revolution in evolu-”
JD: “*Cuts off Rage* Ok chhekkky boy, I heard thhhhat before at Des Mionessss and I dddont want to hear your cccrap again! Just be ready by Starrcadde…cause I know I will…”
JD leaves the area with a maniacal laughter that leaves Rage standing there and thinking ‘what in the blue hell have I just gotten into?!’.
Flash Stryker vs Big Dog
We go back to ringside and the camera zooms in on the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone! This next match will be Flash Stryker against Big Dog.”
RK: “JR, did you see how Big Dog made short work of Grant Snell? That was impressive! Sure, Flash Stryker might be a veteran here already in the X-WCW, but he better be careful tonight. Big Dog is one hell of a competitor.”
“Speedway” hits the speakers and Flash Stryker makes his way down to the ring.
TH: “Introducing first, from Winnipeg, FLASH STRYKER!!!”
Flash Stryker slides into the ring as the fans give him a loud ovation of cheers. Flash goes to the top rope and poses for the crowd before doing a back flip from the second ropes.
RK: “Wow, that was impressive, JR. I never seen Flash doing that. Sure, I seen Xille or Igz, but never this guy.”
JR: “King, I think Flash Stryker is ready for his opponent.”
“Stupify” by Disturbed hits the speakers as Big Dog enters the ringside area.
TH: “And his opponent, from Knoxville Tennessee, he is BIG DOG!!!”
Big Dog strides down the ramp in a very cocky manner. The crowd starts the boos and jeers for this cocky competitor as he gets inside the ring. Big Dog goes to the center of the ring and flexes his muscles to the crowd. This doesn’t help Big Dog cause the crowd’s boos just got louder by the minute.
RK: “Look at that physique, JR. Tell me..JUST TELL ME that is not impressive, I dare you tell me that.”
JR: “I have to pass the dare cause I do think he has one impressive physique. But his muscles dont make him the winner, King. This aint no pose-down, he has to pin Flash Stryker for the 3 count to win it.”
The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring. Big Dog slowly raises his arm up and challenges Flash to a test of strength. Flash agrees and both men lock up for the test of strength. However, Big Dog kicks Flash hard on the gut immediately after they lockup. Big Dog follows his attack up with a combination of clubs to the back and a few knees to the mid-section of Stryker. BD sends Stryker to the ropes and catches him with a back body drop. Big Dog turns around and he sees Stryker standing infront of him.
JR: “Stryker landed on his feet after the back body drop and he starts to deliver a flurry of right hands to the newcomer. Big Dog is backed into that corner by Stryker and he gets punished with those continuous right hands. Big Dog fights back with a punch of his own and both men are just exchanging blows at that corner right now.”
RK: “Wow, both men don’t wanna be the loser in the end of this match, JR. They got the same level on intensity right now.”
The referee breaks up the brawl and forces Flash Stryker to back up for a bit. While Flash is being held back by the referee, Big Dog uses this time to charge at Stryker and take him down with a clothesline. Flash Stryker is momentarily down and Big Dog starts to deliver the boots to him.
JR: “Oh, that was such a cheap shot there by Big Dog.”
RK: “Ah c’mon now, JR! He took the opportunity to take down Flash Stryker.”
He picks up Flash Stryker and sends him towards the corner. He follows Flash Stryker towards the corner but as Flash is about to hit it, he floats over Big Dog. BD turns around and looks for a clothesline to Flash, but he ducks and he takes Big Dog down with a spinning heel kick. Big Dog is sitting down on the mat as he holds his teeth.
RK: “Damn! I think Big Dog lost a few teeth there from that kick.”
Flash Stryker continues his assault and lands a basement dropkick to the back of Big Dog. BD is picked up by Flash Stryker and is sent towards the nearest corner. BD hits the corner and he groans as his back is hit hard by the turnbuckles. Stryker runs towards the corner but BD catches him with a back body drop. Flash lands on the apron and BD goes for a clothesline. Flash ducks the clothesline but he gets hit by the second clothesline attempt of Big Dog. In a flashback of Paul London’s fall during the Royal Rumble, Flash Stryker takes a very sick looking drop to the outside of the floor while the crowd chants ‘holy sh*t!’
RK: “AARRGGHH! JR, someone call the paramedics!”
JR: “Bah gawd! Flash Stryker just got hit hard by that clothesline and I don’t think he has a big chance of getting back into the ring after that.”
The referee starts the ten-count as Big Dog looks on from the inside. The referee has counted mid-way to 5 and Big Dog starts to go towards the center of the ring to pose for the fans. Big Dog’s arrogant attitude irks the fans so much that the ‘holy shit’ chants stop and a ‘asshole’ chant starts up for him. Outside the ring, we see Flash Stryker moving his hand as the count of 6 is shouted by the referee. Flash slowly pulls himself up using the apron and he rests for a while as the referee counts to 7.
RK: “What in the?! Flash is up and Big Dog doesn’t even know it!”
JR: “Yes, the arrogance of this new comer has gotten the best of him right now cause bah goodness..Flash just slid back into the ring right now.”
Flash Stryker gets into the ring as the referee counts to 9 and he stands behind Big Dog. F-S turns BD around and greets him with a dropkick to the face. BD gets up after the dropkick and he charges at Flash Stryker, who takes him down again via an arm drag. Flash Stryker starts to put the boots on Big Dog as the fans chant his name.
JR: “Flash Stryker has gained some second wind after getting knocked down on that apron, King. Flash picks up Big Dog and he sends him to the ropes. Big Dog bounces off the ropes and F-S goes for a hurracanrana. Wait, Big Dog blocks the move and he converts with a sit-down powerbomb.”
Flash Stryker goes down to the mat and BD eventually falls down after the powerbomb he delivered. The referee starts the 10 count on both wrestlers who are down on the mat.
JR: “Both men are down right now after Big Dog reversed that hurracanrana into a powerbomb.”
RK: “I think that took the wind out of Big Dog too..he aint movin that much right now.”
The referee counts to 6 and both men are starting to get up on their feet. The referee counts to eight and both men are finally up. BD approaches Flash Stryker, but F-S keeps him at bay with some kicks to the mid-section. BD backs up and Flash Stryker continues to hit him with some more kicks before he goes for an Irish whip. Big Dog reverses the whip and he catches Flash Stryker with a spinebuster. Bog Dog goes for the pin, however, F-S gets a shoulder up by 2.
JR: “Flash gets a shoulder up and he is still in this match, King.”
RK: “He is, JR. But soon enough, he will lose to Big Dog.”
Big Dog picks up Flash Stryker and he sets him up for his finisher. Before BD could connect with the dog house deliver, Flash Stryker hits BD with an elbow to the side of the head. F-S continues to elbow BD on the head until he lets go of Flash. Flash bounces off the ropes and he takes down Big Dog with a spinning headscissors takedown. BD is down and Flash Stryker slowly makes his way to the top rope.
JR: “Flash Stryker takes the new comer down with the spinning headscissors and he is now making his way up to the top rope.”
RK: “Oh no. Things are not looking good for Big Dog right now.”
Flash Stryker launches himself from the top rope with a moonsault but he just eats canvas as Big Dog got out of the way. Flash Stryker is down and is visibly holding his head right now.
RK: “Bad move by Stryker. I think he just aggravated his head problems with that missed move.”
JR: “Flash Stryker slowly gets to his feet and he turns around to get a hard kick to the gut by Big Dog. BD has him in his grasps and…DOG HOUSE DELIVERY! Oh my, what an impact!”
Big Dog pins Flash 1..2…3 and the match is over.
TH: “The winner of this match…BIG DOG!!!”
“Stupify” fills the ringside area as Big Dog gets his hand raised by the referee. He slides out of the ring and has a big smirk on his face while the crowd boos him on his way back to the backstage area. We go to the announce table with JR and RK.
JR: “Big Dog continues his mean streak here with a win over Flash Stryker.”
RK: “I told you he was gonna win it didn’t I? I have an eye for talent, JR. Big Dog just proved us that he is capable of being here in the X-WCW. I cant wait to see this kid perform yet again.”
JR: “I like to watch Big Dog wrestle here again as well King. But up next, it will be Cyberstrike and D-Extreme taking on Xille and Ignavus for the X-WCW World Tag Team Titles..”
Backstage
Big Dog walks down the corridor for a while, but he stops at the sight of Cole Ryan.
CR: “Big Dog, that was one hell of a win for you tonight.”
BD: “You tell me that? I need a challenge, Cole Ryan. I tell you what, tonight, I SHOULD be the X-WCW Television Champ. Flash Stryker, you dropped the ball earlier and you lost that belt before I even had a chance to get my first X-WCW Gold!”
Just then, The Great One enters the scene and both him and Big Dog look at each other menacingly.
BD: “What in the blue hell are YOU doing here, man-whore?”
TGO: “I’m here to tell you that it should be ME who will be the next X-WCW TV champ! Its not that hard to see who has it going on since his debut in the X-WCW. Big Dog, all you do is talk and talk and talk your way and find a cheap way of defeating your opponents. You never met a man like me. Face it Doggy, you have no chance of getting to Otacon for his title.”
BD: “Why, you think YOU have a chance of beating him? C’mon, I tell you what buddy, here’s my two cents and they tell you to shut up before you get sent straight down to the dog house.”
Before TGO could react, Big Dog kicks him hard on the groin area. TGO falls down to the ground and clutches his crotch while we see Big Dog laughing at the fallen TGO before he leaves. X-WCW goes to a commercial break.
***COMMERCIAL BREAK***
We go to a black and white footage of Eamon X jogging up the stairs to the arena. The footage goes to slow motion as we hear his voice over.
Eamon V.O: "I've been training for a lotta matches in my career....but on this night...it will be a lot different."
The footage zooms in on Eamon while he goes down to his knees. The footage fades to black and comes back as we see Divebomb leaning on the locker room with his face covered by his arm.
Divebomb V.O.: "I've been on a lot of big wrestling events during my time....but this one is different..."
We zoom in on Divebomb who takes off his arm from the view and smiles at the camera. The footage fades to black before it comes back to show TGO looking at the camera.
TheGreatOne V.O.: "On this night...the atmosphere is different..."
The footage shows some arena filled with people cheering as the X-WCW stage pyros shoot off. We come back to see Tony Bonito circling in the ring like he is shadow wrestling.
Tony Bonito V.O. "On this night...not only is the pressure different, the stakes are different."
The footage shows D-Ex and TB locking up before it fades to black to show D-Ex taping his wrist on the locker room.
D-Extreme V.O.: "The difference of this night from any other night....its a night that makes you and breaks you as a wrestler...."
The colors bursts into color as the footage some how fast forwards to see D-Ex rising up quickly and raising his singapore cane with a roar. The footage then shows Divebomb's smile quickly turning into a deep stare into the camera. The footage quickly goes back into the full colored ring to see Bonito taking off his suspenders ala Kurt Angle as the footage fades to black and we see the following messages.
Coming soon.....
X-WCW's biggest event hits the earth...
For one more time....
"STARRCADDE: XTREME"
We go back to black and white to see Eamon's head slowly tilting up to face the camera.
Eamon V.O: "United Center...here I come!"
X-WCW comes back after the break and we go to the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone! Our next match will be an open challenge Bar Room Brawl!”
RK: “How in the blue hell did this happened JR?”
JR: “Since you asked, I’ll answer that. After Nitro was over, the new member of the nTo red, The Real Deal challenged anyone in the X-WCW locker room to fight him in the bar room brawl challenge. Out of nowhere, a newcomer by the name of Karl Baller accepted the challenge. Since your aware Cyberstrike is in-charge of the matches tonight, he approved of it before the show went on-air. Lets take you now to the highburry pub where TRD is waiting for Karl Baller to enter the place.”
Bar Room Brawl
The Real Deal vs Karl Baller
We enter the pub to see TRD sitting down on a chair next to the bar. The Pub seems to be a nice place with a lot of good furnishings for a pub and a person playing the piano well. TRD gets up from his chair to see someone entering. The camera angle shifts into the outside where we can only see the person’s back.
TRD: “Well finally you arrived you punk! Now are you up for this challenge or are you just gonna tell me right now you wanna leave this joint?”
?: “Yo yo yo! I tell ya’ll, I aint only up for dis challenge but I’m up on kickin yo ass!!!”
The camera angle changes and we see the challenger for TRD is none other than Karl Baller. The man from the ghetto is fully dressed in street clothes and he charges at TRD. Before TRD knew it, KB takes him down with a thez press and starts pounding away. TRD rolls over and goes on top of Baller to start pounding away on him after what KB did earlier. TRD gets up after delivering the punishment to KB and reaches out for a bar stool. TRD swings the chair at Baller, but KB ducks the stool and kicks TRD to the gut. KB starts to hit TRD with some hard right hands and backs him onto the bar. TRD reaches for a nearby beer bottle and he smashes it on the head of KB.
RK: “Ouch. That one just has to hurt the noggin of the newcomer, JR.”
JR: “Karl Baller did not see that thing coming, King. TRD has Baller reeling and he takes him down with a big boot to the face.”
KB goes down and we see TRD climbing up the bar to do something. TRD jumps off the bar and delivers a flying leg drop across the throat of Karl Baller. Baller is picked up by TRD and he delivers some punches to the newcomer. Baller blocks a punch and he takes TRD down with a hard haymaker to the face.
RK: “Yikes! That sure knocked the taste outta TRD’s mouth.”
JR: “That was one hard punch there by Karl Baller to TRD. TRD gets himself up and Baller greets him with a beer bottle over the head of TRD.:
RK: “Karma can be a bad mistress, JR. TRD shouldn’t have done that to Baller earlier.”
TRD staggers back and Baller grabs another beer bottle and smashes it over TRD’s head to make the bigger man fall down. Baller backs up for a while before he delivers a running first drop on the face of TRD. He picks up TRD and he hits a couple of clubs to the back of TRD
JR: “KB delivers a couple of hard clubs to the back of TRD and he connects with a hard kick to the gut.”
RK: “What is this kid trying to do? He is going for a suplex?!”
KB attempts a vertical suplex on the taller and bigger opponent. However, this attempt fails and TRD reverse the momentum to deliver a snap suplex on KB. TRD picks up KB, but KB fights back with some hard punches to the mid-section of The Real Deal. TRD reels back after a hard punch on the face by KB. Karl Baller follows it up with a flying shoulder tackle that sends TRD down to the floor.
JR: “Baller connects with a flying shoulder tackle on the taller opponent! Karl Baller now, getting a chair stool and he waits for The Real Deal to get up on his feet.”
RK: “Oh no! DUCK!!!”
The Real Deal gets on a vertical base and turns around only to be hit by the bar stool. TRD falls back to the ground as Karl places the bar stool back to the nearby bar area. Karl Baller drags TRD over to the nearby bar table and places him over there.
Baller: “Ok punk, time for yo to feel the numba one single! Ya heard?!”
Baller goes to the nearby bar and launches himself from it to deliver the frog splash that he calls ‘the number one single’. TRD, however, rolls out of the table and Karl Baller crashes through the bar table. The table is broken in two and we see KB motionless on the floor.
JR: “Bah gawd, I think that was a bad move by Karl Baller. He just crashed and burned on that table, King!”
RK: “Both men are down right now, JR. Baller aint moving, but I can see TRD crawling towards the nearby bar.”
We see TRD inside the bar and he grabs something inside the bar. He pulls out a baseball bat and he slowly gets up from the bar before jumping off it. He waits for Baller to get up before he delivers one hard baseball bat swing at the head of KB. The bat breaks in two as Baller falls down hard on the floor. TRD tosses the bat on the floor before looking at the fallen KB. He notices a referee entering the bar and he pins Karl Baller.
JR: “The pin and he counts 1…2…3! The Real Deal wins over Karl Baller in this contest.”
TRD’s arm is raised as a few of the guys inside the pub cheer. We go back to ringside where the camera pans over to the announce table.
RK: “That baller kid was good..but not good enough to defeat The Real Deal. TRD is one hell of a big man and will be dominating this federation for years to come.”
JR: “Indeed he is, King. Tonight, we will find out WHO among the three men will face Blaster at Starrcadde. But up next ladies and gents, we will see the X-WCW World Tag Team Titles being defended as CS and D-Ex face Xille and Igz. Do not go away, WARZONE WILL BE BACK!”
Backstage
We see Blaster walking down the corridors of the X-WCW backstage area. He stops as he notices Divebomb. Both men have a staredown in the middle of the corridor before DB speaks up.
DB: “So, you here to see me win the match, Blaster?”
Blaster: “No, I’m just here to see who I have to face at Starrcadde.”
DB: “Look no further, punk, your looking at him already.”
Blaster: “Don’t be so confident Divebomb. We all know you aint won anything yet.”
DB: “Yeah, I haven’t won…YET….”
DB nods before he walks past Blaster. We go back to ringside as we see Blaster looking as DB walks away from him.
X-WCW World Tag-Team Championship
Xille and Igz vs Cyberstrike & D-Extreme(c)
We go back to ringside and we see Terri Hotbody in the middle of the ring.
TH: “The following X-WCW World Tag Team Title match is scheduled for one fall.”
JR: “Welcome back to Warzone. Our next match will feature Default taking on the tag team champs. Earlier tonight, Otacon defeated Ignavus to retain his title.”
RK: “You did know what happened during that match right JR? Xille screwed up for his partner. After that match, Xille got his ass kicked by R.E. Rage and lost his Xtreme Title. Face it, JR, I think Xille and Ignavus are not having such a good night tonight. Right now they will face the champs for the tag team titles. Igz is a bit mad at Xille and Xille is still hurting after that street fight he had…there is NO WAY they can win this match.”
“Highwire Escape Artist” hits, and Xille makes his entrance alone.
JR: “Where’s Ignavus?”
RK: “If I know him correctly, he’s probably asleep in the locker room!”
15 seconds pass, and after a shout of “Come on Igz!” from Xille, Ignavus finally appears on stage with a yawn. Both men approach the ring to a decent face pop from the crowd.
TH: “The following contest is set for one fall, and is for the X-WCW World Tag Team Championships! Introducing first: the challengers, they are the team of Xille and Ignavus – DEFAULT!”
Both men enter the ring.
A moment later, “n-T-o” is heard, then “No Chance” hits, and the current champions – Cyberstrike and D-Extreme – make their way to the ring accompanied by a thunderous boo from the crowd.
TH: “And their opponents: representing nTo Red, they are the current X-WCW World Tag Team Champions – CYBERSTRIKE and D-EXTREME!”
The booing continues as they enter the ring and hand their belts to the referee.
The bell rings, and Igz and D-Ex start the proceedings for each team. But instead of locking up with D-Ex, Igz goes for an infamous move – The Finger Poke of Doom – on him. Naturally, D-Ex does not budge: he laughs, then he floors Igz with an Undertaker-style thrust to the throat.
With Igz on the mat, D-Ex goes for a blatant chokehold, but Xille enters the ring and breaks it up with an axe handle smash to D-Ex’s back. The referee sees this, and sends Xille back to his corner.
Cyberstrike, meanwhile, uses this distraction to his advantage. While the ref is seeing to Xille, he enters the ring, and both he and D-Ex pick up Igz and whip him to the back ropes before hitting a double boot to the face on him. Cyberstrike sneaks out of the ring before the ref notices him, and D-Ex goes for the pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. CLOSE!”
JR: “Way to officiate a match, ref! That should’ve been a DQ right there!”
RK: “You don’t cross the boss! You should know that!”
JR: “Well, I’m sure as hell NOT going to brown-nose him!”
Slowly but surely, Igz gets up, only to be further punished by the much larger D-Ex. D-Ex stuns Igz with a flurry of punches before picking him up and dropping him into a stiff kneebreaker.
D-Ex turns to Cyberstrike, tagging him into the match, and Cyberstrike goes to work on the downed Igz with a longbow backbreaker submission hold!
RK: “This could be it! Come on boss!”
JR: “Winning a match without some dirty trick up his sleeve? That’d be a first.”
Although Igz is showing no sign of submitting, Xille steps back into the ring and breaks the hold anyhow. Once again, the ref sends him to the outside, and once again, another nTo trick occurs. This time, D-Ex makes use of the distraction, sneaking into the ring behind the rising Igz and nailing him with a reverse DDT. He sneaks back out, then Cyberstrike goes for a pin just as the ref turns to face him.
JR: “1…. 2…. HE’S UP!”
RK: “Dammit Ignavus – you’re supposed to be a slacker! Lay down!”
Igz gets up slowly, but once he does, Cyberstrike resumes his attack. He grabs Igz from behind, driving him toward the back left corner and preparing for a belly to back suplex, but with a sudden and unexpected surge of energy, Igz reverses the move into an acid drop! This enables Igz to tag Xille into the match, and Xille wastes no time in delivering a baseball slide to Cyberstrike’s chest. Cyberstrike rolls over in pain, then Xille capitalizes on this by locking him in an inverted STF!
JR: “Even though Xille’s still fairly new to this company, that move is the mark of a true professional!”
RK: “It’s a shame his ring positioning is still quite amateurish, though! He’s WAY too close to the back ropes!”
Sure enough, Cyberstrike is able to reach the bottom rope, breaking the hold. Xille allows Cyberstrike to get up, and then he tries to whip Cyberstrike into the back ropes, but Cyberstrike reverses the move, whipping Xille into the front ropes. On the rebound, Cyberstrike catches Xille, hitting a swinging body slam on him! Cyberstrike tags D-Ex back into the action, and both nTo Red members grab Xille’s legs, executing a nasty double wishbone leg splitter on him!
RK: “Xille won’t want any action on that groin of his for weeks after that!”
JR: “And we don’t want any more FCC fines, so shut it!”
RK: “D-Ex is going for the pinfall! 1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “A VERY lucky escape there!”
With Cyberstrike out of the ring, D-Ex allows Xille to rise, then he signals for The Xtreme Factor!
JR: “Oh no! D-Extreme wants to finish this with authority!”
RK: “YES! Put him through the mat!”
D-Ex places Xille in the headscissor position, lifting him up to execute the destructive finisher. But at the last moment, Xille slips out, landing on his feet and grabbing D-Ex by his legs, bringing him to the mat. Xille catapults D-Ex into the left ropes, and as D-Ex rebounds, Xille manages to tag Igz back into the action.
JR: “Igz is in the ring right now, King.”
With D-Ex on the mat, Igz mounts the front left turnbuckles and yawns, effectively signaling for his finishing move: the 4am Flier! At the same time, Xille races around the outside of the ring to face Cyberstrike and prevent any possible interference. As Xille and Cyberstrike fight on the outside, Igz nails his finisher on D-Ex on the inside! Igz goes for the pin, hooking D-Ex’s legs in an almost helpless position!
JR: “SLACKER TOWER! D-Extreme is down for the count…”
RK: “1…. 2…. 3! NO, NO, NO!”
JR: “D-Extreme gets up, but it’s too late! He can’t believe it!”
RK: “I can’t believe it either! Default showed more ass than class!”
JR: “We have NEW World Tag Team Champions in SENSATIONAL circumstances! And the fans are loving it!”
The fans let out a thunderous cheer for the new champions!
TH: “Here are your winners – and the NEW X-WCW World Tag Team Champions – DEFAULT!”
Xille joins Igz in the ring, and the referee hands them their belts. On the outside, Cyberstrike and D-Ex are still stunned, but instead of storming the ring and attacking the new champions, they leave.
RK: “Look on the bright side: they still have the International Tag Team Championships! And they’ve got a good chance of retaining them against Eamon X’s flunkies – The Final Frontier – later on tonight!”
JR: “In a steel cage, no less! Stay tuned for that!”
X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Tidal vs Wolfang (c)
“Boiler” hits, and after his usual entrance spectacle, Tidal appears on stage to a wall of heel heat.
TH: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, the challenger: from England – TIDAL!”
The heavy booing continues as Tidal approaches the ring.
Upon his arrival, “Brutal Planet” hits, and Wolfang makes his way out to the ring to a somewhat mixed fan response.
TH: “And his opponent: from St. Helens, Merseyside, England, he is the current X-WCW U.S. Champion – WOLFANG!”
The crowd indifference continues as Wolfang races to the ring. As soon as Wolfang enters it, he rips his title belt right off and wastes no time in engaging Tidal.
The bell rings to officially start the match, and both men are brawling on the mat. Before long, the more experienced Wolfang gains the upper hand, and he brings the slightly dazed Tidal to his feet, whipping him into the right ropes and hitting a dropkick on Tidal on the rebound.
Tidal gets up quickly, and as Wolfang rises, Tidal is quick to hook Wolfang’s left arm and drop him with a knee to the face. Tidal goes for the first pinfall.
JR: “1…. NO!”
RK: “Tidal’s wasting no time here! And considering they’re both British, can we call this match The Battle of Britain?”
JR: “Way to respect those who died to protect the freedom of millions in World War II, Randal. Yeesh.”
RK: “Sorry James – I had to try!”
Wolfang gets up, but Tidal resumes his assault in no time: he whips Wolfang into the back left corner, following it up with a number of running back elbow smashes. After the fourth elbow smash, Wolfang staggers out of the corner, only to be caught by Tidal, who hits a stiff pendulum backbreaker right in the middle of the ring! Tidal goes for another pin.
RK: “1…. 2…. And a bit!”
JR: “Wolfang’s not that easy to beat, mind you!”
Wolfang gets up again, but as Tidal grabs his right arm for a short arm clothesline attempt, Wolfang reverses it into a Crippler Crossface!
JR: “My God! Wolfang could have this title defence in the bag!”
RK: “I’ve got to tell you: his ring positioning is absolutely perfect!”
JR: “Good call! They’re nowhere near any of the ring ropes!”
RK: “Wait a minute – here comes Tempest!”
Sure enough, Tempest makes his way to the ring from the backstage area. The fans boo him heavily on the outside, and on the inside, the referee is still checking for a submission from Tidal. Of course, this is not forthcoming, but in any case, Tempest enters the ring. He walks up behind both Wolfang and Tidal, grabbing them by the side of their heads and bashing them together!
The referee calls for the bell as Tempest continues to pound on both men. Terri confers with the referee, and makes her announcement.
TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen: the referee has declared this match a No Contest, on account of Tempest’s interference! Therefore, Wolfang remains the X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion!”
Tempest looks up and smiles sadistically. He turns his attention to the referee, and with a shout of “I…. smell…. MASSACRE!”, he nails the poor referee with a Thunder Press!
JR: “Oh come on! It’s bad enough that the match was a non-event, but assaulting the ref like that is just not called for!”
RK: “I think he’s sending a message to Wolfang in doing this! I suspect there’s a few issues between both of those men that might be resolved sooner rather than later!”
JR: “You may be right about that! On the flip side, some much better matches are coming right up!”
RK: “That’s right! So stay with us!”
LotR II-The Final
Double Elimination Match
Eamon X vs Divebomb vs Jeff Jarrett
JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone. We got a special treat for you fans right now, it is the Final Round of the LotR tournament. From 16 men, it boils down to the final 3 competitors. We will show you a footage recapping how this thing started.”
*****
We go to the WARtron as it starts to show the hype video of the upcoming match.
Last February…
We are shown the footage of the Eamon vs Divebomb match in black and white. We see DB arguing to the referee while Eamon X is still down on the canvas. Meanwhile, we see Cyberstrike coming down the ramp with the nTo kendo stick.
JR: “Hey, its Cyberstrike! What in the hell is he doing here?!”
RK: “Guess he wants to watch it up close and personal? I know I would if I were a guy in the locker room.”
Cyberstrike slides into the ring while the referee is still arguing with Divebomb on the corner. Eamon X slowly gets up in the ring. But before he could get up to his feet, Cyberstrike smacks it over the head of Eamon. The referee sees it and so does D-Bomb. Divebomb doesn’t have a time to react as he sees CS running towards him and blasting him with the kendostick as well. Divebomb is down on the mat as the referee signals the time keeper to ring the bell. The bell is rung while CS goes over to Eamon X and picks him up before delivering the breakdown.
TH: “As a result of a double disqualification…the match is declared a DRAW!”
The footage fades to black as CS is standing over the fallen Eamon X while raising the bent up kendo stick.
CD: “Last show, the Eamon X and Divebomb match was declared a double disqualification by the referee. Not only that, but as a result, the title was held vacant. Last week, me and the board of authorities were discussing about this matter and we have come up with a conclusion for this matter. The decision shall STAND! The title is and will remain vacated until further notice.”
While Cane Deathscream speaks, we are shown the black and white footage of Cyberstrike assaulting both Divebomb and Eamon X.
CD: “That ‘further notice’ I mentioned was the compromise the BoD made earlier this day. The X-WCW will conduct the 2005 LORD OF THE RING TOURNAMENT! Instead of the usual PPV event, the matches for the LOTR tourney shall be featured tonight and on the next X-WCW events leading up to Starrcade Xtreme! Blaster has won the Royal Bash…so the winner of the tournament shall be declared the X-WCW UW Champ a few weeks before the PPV itself and WILL face Blaster in the main event of Starrcade Xtreme! So what the hell are we waiting for..let us start this thing!”
The footage of Cane fades to black and Neurotica’s “Ride of your life” starts to play.

Before we see how the nTo was stopped, we go quickly to a SFM vs PMP highlight.
”The ride of your life
Of your LIFE!!! “
At the end of the verse, we see Final Frontier celebrating after SFM gets the upset win over PMP. The music goes to its instrumental intro yet again as we see SFM getting pinned by Jarrett at the semi-finals. The footage quickly goes to the match of Eamon vs Divebomb where DB delivers Ground Zero on Eamon X through a table.
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!”
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.

We go to a footage of Divebomb and Eamon X exchanging punches. The last line shows both men giving their finishers to the other before we fade to black.

JR: “SIXTEEN MEN….3 AT THE FINALS…WHO IS GONNA TAKE IT ALL?!”
*****
TH: “The following triple threat match is for the Lord of the Ring 2005 Finals!!!”
“n…T…o”
“My World” hits the speakers as the black and red lights strobe through the ringside area.
TH: “Introducing first, from Nashville Tennessee, nTo red member...JEFF JARRETT!”
The fans give Jarrett a round of boos as he makes his way down the aisle.
JR: “Out of all the three men, I think Jarrett is the least deserving person to win this match. Most of the times, he won his matches using his guitar.”
RK: “Speaking of which, I notice he is holding a new guitar. I wonder why its color white right now.”
Jarrett gets in the ring and raises his new white guitar in the air before handing it to a ringside attendant. “My last serenade” by Killswitch Engine plays through the speakers as the lights dim down for a bit.
TH: “From Burnaby, BC….DIVEBOMB!!!”
The pyros shoot up on stage before Divebomb enters the ringside area. The fans give the former X-WCW Champion a mixed reaction as he makes his way down the ramp.
JR: “Divebomb, the former X-WCW UW Champ, is making his way on the ring right now. This man has a lot to prove tonight as he needs to silence all the criticism and win this match, and get back his X-WCW UW title.”
RK: “Divebomb didn’t need help to get that belt, JR. If Cane wasn’t there, no one would have saved Eamon X from getting his ass kicked.”
Divebomb slowly enters the ring and goes to the top rope. He poses for the crowd before he motions the belt-in-waist gesture to signal that he will get the belt soon. “Break and Enter’ plays at the speakers as the crowd goes up on its feet to anticipate the final competitor.
TH: “And from Australia…EAMON X!!!”
The pyros explode on stage as the music continues to play on. After the smoke clears, Eamon X enters the ringside area and makes his way down the ramp. He does some high fives with the fans on his way to the ring as they start the ‘Eamon’ chants.
JR: “Eamon X, whether you like it or not, is one of X-WCW’s most charismatic wrestlers in its history”
RK: “Yeah, he is like a pop machine, he can say any word at the end of the sentence and the crowd would just eat it up. Like that Mugatu person from the ‘zoolander’ movie, he makes earrings out of dog poo and the Queen of England would still wear it.”
Eamon slides into the ring and carefully glances at his two opponents. The bell rings and all three men look at each other and await who will take the first strike. Eamon looks to charge Divebomb but Jarrett charges at EX. EX stops and notices Jarrett going his way. EX takes Jarrett down with a hiptoss and turns around to see Divebomb, who then delivers one hard kick to the gut of EX. Divebomb delivers a number of punches to Eamon X while he backs him into the ropes and tries to whip him to the other side. EX reverses the Irish Whip and sends DB to the other side. Eamon catches Divebomb with a back body drop to the outside. EX turns around and he gets hit by a shoulder charge on the mid-section by DB on the apron. EX staggers back and he is caught by Jarrett with a Russian legsweep.
JR: “Jarrett floors EX with that Russian Legsweep.”
RK: “If Jarrett did the inverse of that move, I think EX would have been STROKE’d already.”
Jarrett goes for the pin but we see DB entering the ring and breaks it up by two. Jarrett gets up and he shoves DB. DB looks furious and he shoves Jarrett back. Jarrett gets shoved into a schoolboy pin of Eamon X and the referee counts 1…2..Kickout.
JR: “Divebomb does not break up the pin this time, King. I think he realizes that this match is an elimination type of three-way.”
RK: “I think he already did, JR. I guess he just wants the match to come down to him and Eamon.”
Jarrett kicks out of the pin attempt and he gets up on his feet. Eamon X gets up and takes Jarrett down with a short arm clothesline. Jarrett gets up yet again, only to be taken down by EX with another clothesline. EX picks up Jarrett and scoops him for a bodyslam, but Jarrett slithers out of EX’s hands and gets behind him. Jarrett locks the sleeper hold and we see Divebomb walking towards the two with a grin. With the sleeper hold locked on at EX, Divebomb starts to punch away on the mid-section of Eamon.
JR: “Oh c’mon, that is just so low of Divebomb. DB is just handing out a number of cheap shots to a defenseless Eamon X.”
RK: “Well he wont be defenseless if he wasn’t stupid enough to be locked on that sleeper now would he?!”
DB stops the punches as Jarrett lets go and shoves Eamon X down the mat. Both men start to stomp down on Eamon inside the ring. JJ and DB pick EX up and they whip him across the ropes. They try to take him out with a double clothesline but EX ducks down to avoid it. EX bounces off the other end and he takes Jarrett and Divebomb down with a double flying shoulder tackle.
JR: “Eamon X connects with the desperation move right there.”
RK: “You call that desperate, I seen men dancing their way to the ring to delight the fans, now that’s desperate.”
JR: “Like your distant nephew from 2 cool?”
RK: “*twitching*…I have no nephew!…”
Jarrett is the first man up and he picks up EX. EX fights out of Jarrett’s grasps as he delivers some hard shots to the gut of Double J. Meanwhile, Divebomb rolls out of the ring for some apparent reason. EX bounces off the ropes and connects with a dropkick that sends Jarrett falling to the outside. Outside the ring, we see Jarrett down and Divebomb stomping down on him. Inside the ring, Eamon X is climbing on the top rope.
JR: “Eamon is going up, King. Something big is about to happen here!”
RK: “It better not be a big blown spot, that’s for sure!”
Outside the ring, we see DB noticing Eamon X on the top rope. As EX launches himself to the outside, DB grabs Jarrett and shoves him into the direction where EX goes down on. EX connects with a flying cross body on Jarrett while DB gets out of harms way.
RK: “Did you see that JR?! Hahaha, Divebomb is one smart S.O.B!”
JR: “Want to know an interesting fact King? Divebomb recently told me that, this is not the only triple threat match he will be involved in..actually on both the 2NLW and the AWF has him involved also in triple threat matches that has a title on the line with him on both matches.”
RK: “Just goes to show you JR, X-WCW superstars are always in high demand on other wrestling federations! Heck, I hear my boy R.E. Rage is in the same triple threat match with Divebomb. So I dunno who to bet on next week!”
DB slides inside the ring and waits for either Eamon or Jarrett to get up. The referee starts the ten count while both Jarrett and EX are still outside the ring. By the count of 6, both men start to get up from the outside floor. As both men are on their feet outside, we see Divebomb launching off from the ring and connecting with a planca to take down both men.
JR: “Divebomb just floored both Eamon and Jarrett with that springboard planca.”
RK: “Oh boy, this guy is getting better by the matches. I tell you, Divebomb is gonna win this thing for sure!”
DB gets up first and he grabs Eamon. He rolls Eamon into the ring before he slides back in. DB picks up EX and he backs him into the corner. DB starts to deliver the shoulderblocks on EX while Jarrett is seen sliding back into the ring. DB places EX on the top rope and it looks like he will deliver a superplex, but Jarrett spins Divebomb around and starts to hit him with a couple of clubbing blows. Double J tries to send DB to the ropes but DB reverses the whip. DB catches Jarrett and takes him down with a spinebuster.
JR: “Divebomb hits Jarrett with that spinebuster, bah gawd! I think Jarrett must have been broken in half with that powerful maneuver.”
RK: “Somewhere, I bet AA would be proud of that spinebuster by Divebomb. But if I were DB, I’d be turning around now.”
EX stands on the second turnbuckle and waits for DB to turn around before he crowns him with a double axe handle smash. DB goes down after that move by EX while Jarrett slowly crawls towards the corner. Eamon sees Jarrett resting on the corner and he makes his way there. Jarrett kicks EX on the gut a couple of times before he grabs him to switch places. With EX’s back on the corner, Jarrett hits one mighty chop. A chop so mighty, that it echoes throughout the building. A chop so mighty, it gets a ‘wooo!’ from the crowd. Not to be outdone, EX shoves Jarrett before he delivers one hard chop to the chest of Jarrett. Jarrett staggers back before he gets himself on the level base to go for another chop. EX takes this opportunity to duck the chop and go behind Jarrett. With EX behind Jarrett, he takes him down with an overhead belly to back toss. Jarrett goes down to the mat while we see Eamon X getting up to his feet. Eamon turns around and Divebomb takes him by surprise with an STO.
RK: “Who-hoa! Out of nowhere! Divebomb just leveled Eamon with an STO, JR!”
JR: “EX is down on the mat and Divebomb takes his attention towards Jarrett. Jarrett is getting himself up by the help of the ropes before DB grabs him by the hair and pulls him up. Jarrett is on a vertical base now as DB starts to deliver some hard punches to the face of the nTo red member.”
DB sends Jarrett to the other side of the ropes. DB bounces off the nearby ropes and he meets Jarrett mid-ring before he takes him down with a running STO. Divebomb kneels for a while and shouts at the air before getting up to see EX. Eamon X is at the nearby corner, pulling himself up while DB approaches him. EX gets up and he hits a couple of kicks to the gut of DB to back him off for a while. EX charges at DB ,who stops him with a hard kick to the gut. DB goes for a suplex but Eamon X lands behind Divebomb and goes for a German Suplex. Divebomb stops the German suplex attempt with a well placed elbow to the face of EX and he grabs one of EX’s hand to lock on an arm wrench. EX quickly reverses the momentum of the submission move to his favor and goes behind DB while the submission is locked. DB slowly turns around and he crouches before he takes down EX with a fireman’s carry. EX goes down and Divebomb quickly applies a sleeper hold on Eamon X.
JR: “Eamon is locked on that sleeper hold right now, King.”
RK: “I see that, but, why do I see someone just..standing on the entrance way. Its just a shadow from here but I can see him watching at the ringside, JR.”
The mystery man looks on from the dark corner of the entrance way as we see EX slowly getting up in the ring while the submission move is still locked by DB. Eamon tries to run towards the ropes but DB uses his weight to send EX sliding down to his knees while the submission move is locked on. EX slowly gets up and tries yet again, but it turns out to be the same result. The third time EX gets up, he starts to deliver a couple of slow elbow strikes due to the fact of the sleeper taking its toll on him. After a couple of those strikes, he eventually frees himself and he hits a hard kick to the gut of Divebomb before he sends him towards the ropes. EX bounces off the ropes and he tries to take DB down with the clothesline. To EX’s disappointment, DB ducks the clothesline and he hits the referee instead. On the other side of the ring, we see Jarrett having some minimal movements.
JR: “The referee is down and DB bounces off the other side of the ropes. EX turns around and both men take each other out with a clothesline to the other men! All three men are down. Jarrett is showing a bit of movement right now, but DB and EX are just outcold right now.”
RK: “I think that wrestling clinic they put on earlier took its toll on them, JR.”
The mystery man finally walks down the ramp while wearing a hooded jacket to hide his identity. He grabs the white guitar and he slides it in for Jarrett, who is already on his feet. Jarrett grabs the guitar and has a grin on his face after he spots EX getting up on his feet. He approaches Eamon slowly as the Australian gets himself into a vertical base and he swings the guitar at him. Eamon, however ducks the swing and the guitar hits Divebomb instead, who also was getting up until the guitar sends him down the mat yet again. EX kicks Jarrett in the mid-section and he levels him with the X-Blast.
JR: “X-BLAST!!! Jarrett is down on the mat and Eamon X is going over to the downed referee.”
RK: “Eamon is waking the ref up, JR. But, I advise him to turn around right now before he gets into some trouble!”
The hooded man slides into the ring and spins Eamon around and hits him hard with a kick. He takes off his hood to reveal that he is Cyberstrike and sets EX up for the Breakdown. Eamon hits him on the side of the head to block the move and tosses him over the ropes. CS goes to the outside of the ring and EX turns around to see an incoming Jeff Jarrett. EX ducks the clothesline and grabs Jarrett for the backslide pin. With the referee regaining consciousness, he counts the pin.
JR: “1..2…3! Jarrett has been eliminated in this match!”
RK: “Oh no! Divebomb is gonna be next right now! He is barely moving after that guitarshot, JR!”
The referee tells Jarrett to clear out of the ring, but the irate Jarrett starts to argue with the ref about the count. While the ref Is distracted, we see Eamon leaning on the ropes and laughing at Jarrett but his laughter stops as CS delivers a lowblow on Eamon from the outside. Eamon goes down to his knees before falling face first into the mat after being hit below the belt by CS.
JR: “Damn it! Cyberstrike just took a cheapshot on Eamon while the referee is still busy with Jarrett.”
RK: “Eamon is down, JR! Hahaha…and look, Divebomb is crawling towards him. C’mon champ!”
DB finally reaches the downed Eamon and he drapes his arm over him. Jarrett finally leaves the ring and the ref sees the pin.
JR: “1…2…3…this is not right, King. I am telling you, this is not right!”
RK: “Oh shut up, JR! Its ALL RIGHT!”
TH: “The winner and the 2005 Lord of the Ring…DIVEBOMB!”
DB’s music plays as the referee raises his hand in triumph. Divebomb is helped up by the referee while we see Jarrett and CS smirk at the outside of the ring on their way to the backstage. Terri Hotbody enters the ring to hand the trophy to Divebomb. DB grabs the trophy and heads towards the nearby turnbuckle. He climbs to the top and it in celebration while the crowd gives him a surprisingly mixed reaction.
JR: “The crowd is not unanimous about their feelings here tonight, King. But me, I really feel disgusted at what CS did. This match was not fair at all..you know it!”
RK: “If you asked me, I say Jarrett should have won to make it fair. But hey, I like Divebomb, cause he can shut up EX anytime of the day!”
X-WCW goes to a commercial break as DB continues to celebrate his victory.
X-WCW International Tag-Team Championship
Steel Cage Match
The Final Frontier vs Cyberstrike and D-Extreme (c)
A roofless steel cage, shaped to fit snugly around the ring, hangs ominously above the arena floor.
TH: “The following is a Steel Cage Match! It is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the X-WCW International Tag Team Championships!”
Before long, “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” hits, and both members of The Final Frontier make their way onto the stage, receiving a massive cheer from the fans in attendance.
TH: “Introducing first, the challengers: the team of Autobot Jazz and Sci Fi Man – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
The heavy cheering continues as AJ and SFM head to the ring.
After this, “n-T-o” is heard on the PA system, followed by “No Chance”. Cyberstrike and D-Extreme return to the stage, receiving an equally loud boo from the crowd.
TH: “And their opponents: representing nTo Red, they are the current X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – CYBERSTRIKE and D-EXTREME!”
JR: “As the nTo Red team make their way to the ring, here are a few reminders about this match: there are no tags, disqualifications, eliminations or count outs, but pinfalls and submissions are legal!”
RK: “And there are no doors on the cage, so the other way to win is for both members of one team to climb out over the top of it!”
JR: “And it ought to be a good old-fashioned barn burner too!”
RK: “Going down: one cage!”
The cage is lowered into position, and as the referee takes the title belts, the bell rings to start the match!
The brawling commences immediately. AJ goes straight for Cyberstrike, while SFM mans up against D-Ex. They end up fighting in opposite corners, but Cyberstrike and D-Ex – on account of their greater experience – manage to get the upper hand after a few moments.
With their opponents subdued for the moment, the nTo Red members whip AJ and SFM into the middle of the ring, causing them to collide!
RK: “HA HA! They’re large and in charge, James!”
JR: “And if The Final Frontier don’t recover quickly, Randal, this match could be over quickly!”
Sure enough, both nTo Red members start to climb the cage. Though both Final Frontier members don’t stay down for long: AJ is the first to get up, and he manages to grab Cyberstrike’s leg and bring him back to the mat. And SFM climbs up after D-Ex, pulling him back down.
AJ grabs Cyberstrike by the arm, dropping him into a single arm DDT and going for a quick pinfall.
JR: “1…. 2…. D-Ex breaks it up!”
RK: “Wrestling matches don’t get any more cutthroat than this!”
AJ goes after D-Ex as a result of this, while SFM goes for Cyberstrike.
AJ attempts a chokehold of sorts on D-Ex, but D-Ex – with his much greater size and strength – counters this by grabbing AJ around the throat and lifting him straight up! He slams AJ into the left wall of the cage, before turning around and dropping him into a Baldo Bomb!
Meanwhile, SFM and Cyberstrike are brawling in the back right corner. They tie up, but Cyberstrike manages to thrust SFM into the corner, following up the move with a series of hard chest chops. Naturally, a loud “WHOO!” follows each one, but SFM simply shrugs them off, and after blocking the last one, he knocks Cyberstrike to the mat with a hard headbutt!
RK: “Why isn’t anyone going for a fast pinfall here?”
JR: “With the nature of these matches, it would be more prudent to wear the opponents down first, I guess!”
As this happens, D-Ex is pressing his advantage against AJ. After nailing AJ with several hard punches, he lifts him into a fallaway slam position, but instead of hitting that particular move, he charges into the front left corner and back: an Oklahoma Stampede!
JR: “WOW! That’s a Doctor Death special there!”
RK: “Speaking of which, The Final Frontier will be BEGGING for euthanasia after this match!”
JR: “Not THAT Doctor Death, doofus!”
RK: “Sorry!”
D-Ex goes for the pinfall.
RK: “1…. 2…. Sci Fi Man breaks it up!”
JR: “And I think Autobot Jazz is keen to do another switcheroo here!”
SFM goes after D-Ex, leaving Cyberstrike to attack AJ once again. While AJ is still on the mat, Cyberstrike grabs both of his legs, tying them up in a Darklight Hold!
RK: “YES! You can do it, boss! You’ve got this one in the bag!”
JR: “I don’t hear any bells ringing, so it’s not over by a long shot!”
As Cyberstrike keeps the hold locked in, SFM and D-Ex are fighting in the middle. Before long, D-Ex gains the strength advantage once more, hurling SFM right into the back wall of the cage. As SFM rebounds, D-Ex nails him with one of his signature moves: The X-Ocution!
JR: “X-OCTION! D-Ex nailed SFM with his finishing move!”
RK: “ITS ALL OVER FOLKS!!!”
Meanwhile, and despite the pain, AJ refuses to submit to Cyberstrike’s Darklight Hold. He starts to creep around to the bottom left rope, and after a struggle, he finally reaches it, causing Cyberstrike to release him. Noticing D-Ex climbing the cage in an effort to escape it, Cyberstrike begins to do the same. However, once he is halfway up, AJ surges to his feet, getting underneath Cyberstrike and bringing him right to the mat with a modified Energon Drainer!
JR: “Good God in Heaven! What a desperate and effective move by Autobot Jazz!”
RK: “I guess so, but can Sci Fi Man make a difference on the other side?”
D-Ex reaches the top of the cage, but before SFM can shake the cage to get him off, D-Ex jumps into a bionic elbow, prompting a “HOLY SHIT!” chant from the crowd and knocking SFM to the mat senseless.
Nearby, Cyberstrike and AJ have resumed their conflict. With SFM virtually unconscious, D-Ex joins in the battle. AJ is unable to withstand the relentless assault of the nTo Red members, and after several stiff punches and kicks each, Cyberstrike and D-Ex double-whip AJ into the right wall.
On AJ’s rebound, D-Ex kicks him in the gut, then he positions him for an Xtreme Factor, hitting the move successfully. But D-Ex does not go for the pin: instead, he allows Cyberstrike to pick AJ up and hit his own signature move – The Breakdown – on his hapless opponent.
JR: “This is just too much. Just pin them and have done with it, please!”
RK: “Why? I like it when the boss exerts his authority! That’s what he’s here for!”
With a call of “Let’s blow this joint!”, Cyberstrike starts to climb up the left wall of the cage, with D-Ex close behind him. The fans’ boos turn to cheers, though, when EAMON X charges out from backstage!
RK: “NO! It’s Eamon X! He has no business being in this match!”
JR: “I haven’t seen him this intense in a LONG time!”
By the time the nTo Red members notice EX’s arrival, it’s too late. EX launches himself at full speed into the left side of the cage, causing them both to lose their grip and footing, and leaving a large indent in the cage itself!
RK: “I knew it! Eamon X has more courage than sense! He’ll only hurt HIMSELF if he keeps this up!”
JR: “I don’t think he gives a damn! He’s just sick of the nTo Red running roughshod over this entire company!”
Outside the ring, EX grabs the ring steps, placing them parallel to the left wall. He takes another run up and rams the cage AGAIN, causing both Cyberstrike and D-Ex to come crashing to the mat!
Both members of The Final Frontier, having recovered from their previous beatings to some degree, are able to move themselves into pinning predicaments on both nTo Red members.
JR: “1…. 2…. 3! NEW CHAMPIONS!”
RK: “I don’t believe it! The boss has been robbed not once, but TWICE in the same night! And if I were Eamon X, I’d be thinking about typing a new resume right now!”
The bell rings, and the fans erupt for their new champions!
TH: “Here are your winners – and the NEW X-WCW International Tag Team Champions – THE FINAL FRONTIER!”
The cage is raised, and the newly crowned champions join Eamon X on the outside. A furious Cyberstrike screams for Terri’s microphone!
CS: “NOW WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE! Eamon X, you have interfered with my affairs for the very last time!”
EX grabs a microphone of his own.
EX: “You’ve left me no choice. For too long, you and your stooges have been running this company into the ground, and since most of the people in the back are powerless to stop it – on account of the clauses you’ve slipped into their contracts – it falls to me to set things right! And I intend to do just that at Starrcade Xtreme! How does a Triple Threat Theatre Series sound to you?”
CS: “Fine by me! So fine, in fact, that I’ll place the following stipulations on it! One: the Number One Contendership to the Ultimate World Title will be decided in this match! And two: the three matches will be a Street Fight, a Cage Match, and a Ladder Match!”
The crowd cheers wildly at this prospect.
CS: “And while we’re adding stipulations, let me add two more, just because I can! One: The ring itself will not have regular ropes – it’ll have BARBED WIRE ones! And two: since this company isn’t big enough for the both of us, Eamon, I have two words for you – LOSER LEAVES!”
The crowd is stunned.
EX: “Terms accepted.”
With that said, EX and The Final Frontier leave ringside.
RK: “This has the potential to be the biggest main event in Starrcade history, James!”
JR: “Perhaps, but all of this has left me in shock, Randal.”
RK: “What else is new? Eamon X just signed his own pink slip, as far as I’m concerned!”
JR: “He might have done just that. I have a bad feeling about this!”
RK: “Well, Eamon X should’ve thought twice before helping out his flunkies! And someone’s got to put him in his place!”
JR: “We’ll see what happens at Starrcade Xtreme! For Randal King and Cole Ryan, I’m James Russell! Goodnight, and thanks for watching!”
