67) X-WCW Warzone #25

[Cyberstrike]

X-WCW goes on air as we see the footage from its last show.

Nitro…

JR: “NITOPLEX ON THE LADDER! BAH GAWD!!! BAH GAWD!!!”
RK: “That was one move I saw coming. The table, however, was a different story.”

The fans start to chant “holy s***” as Otacon is down on the broken table. Bonito, meanwhile, gets to his feet and he starts to climb up the ladder. He reaches the top of the ladder and begins to unhook the X-WCW US title. The bell rings to signal Bonito’s victory as he successfully obtains the X-WCW US belt from the top.

TH: “The winner and NEW X-WCW United States champion…TONY BONITO!!!”

Bonito’s music hits the speakers and he makes his way down the ladder. D-Ex approaches him to raise his hand, but TB rejects it and looks the other way while he begins to celebrate. D-Ex shakes his head and he grabs TB. He spins TB around and hits a hard kick between the legs. D-Ex has TB in his grasps and he delivers the X-Ocution.

JR: “X-Ocution on Bonito!!! BAH GAWD!!!”
RK: “Bonito should have accepted that arm raise from the referee, JR. Now look what happened.”

While D-Ex is stomping down the fallen Bonito, we see Chris Back making his way down the ringside area with two nTo kendosticks. CB slides into the ring and he tosses one kendostick towards D-Ex. D-Ex catches it and both men have a sick smirk on their faces.

JR: “I do not like the looks of this King.”

CB picks up Otacon and he hits him with the breakdown. D-Ex and CB pick up Otacon yet again and this time, they send him into the nearby corner. Once Con man is at the corner, both nTo members start to abuse the con man with kendostick shots on different parts of his body. D-Ex finishes things of with a hard swing on the kendostick towards the forehead of otacon, making the stick break in half. Otacon flops face first on the ring and both men look to their back to see TB getting to his feet.

RK: “Oh no, Bonito better run now!!!”

CB charges at TB with the kendostick and smacks him over the head with it. TB falls down yet again and D-Ex approaches him and starts to stomp down TB with CB.

JR: “This is just brutal, King. Even though TB and Otacon are not the kindest men on the planet…the didn’t deserve this beat down.”

The footage fades as we see both CB and D-Ex standing tall in the ring.

***

“Metalingus” by Alterbridge plays as we see clips of various X-WCW superstars. After the intro video stops, we go to ringside to kick off yet another action-packed edition of Warzone. The pyros explode on stage to the delight of the capacity crowd. The cameras go to the commentators table with JR and RK.

JR: “WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE TWENTYFIFTH EPISODE OF WARZONE!!!”
RK: “My golly, JR! Warzone just hit 25 tonight!”
JR: “Hello everyone and a happy new year to all of you. I am James Russell and beside me as always is Randal King.”
RK: “Folks, there is no BETTER way to signal the year 2K6 than one great X-WCW show!!! Not just a great show, JR, but the 25th show of Warzone! Tonight, its jam-packed with matches even I wanna see.”
JR: “Indeed it will, King. Tonight we will have one helluva main event. The other matches look great as well as we are coming at you live in the Madison Square Garden arena in New York.”

They pause for a while as JR receives a message coming from his headset. For a few seconds, both JR and RK talk to themselves before they look back at the camera.

RK: “Got the same message huh JR?”
JR: “Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, we just received word that Divebomb is outside the arena.”
RK: “I thought he was suspended?”
JR: “He IS, King! He shouldn’t be here for his own good, or he might be fired.”

OUTSIDE

We cut to the outside of the MSG arena to see Divebomb standing infront of 5 policemen blocking his way. After a while, we see CB make the police steer clear.

DB: “Glad to know you came out here to face me man-to-man, Back.”

CB shakes his head and approaches Divebomb.

CB: “I know why you came here Divebomb and quite frankly, you should quit it. Ignavus is not here. For the last time, he is at home, he is ALSO suspended. Now why don’t you go back to your home and enjoy your suspension? I am a good guy, thank me that I didn’t fire you and Ignavus for what you guys have done last show. Do you have any idea how you two took out some of my good security guards? Do you have any idea that 3 of them are in the hospital with a broken jaw, shattered ribs since you two cant get a hold of yourselves?”

Divebomb goes nose-to-nose with Chris Back and snarls at him before he speaks.

DB: “DO I HAVE TO GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEM?!”

CB steps back and gives DB an emotionless face.

CB: “You should. Cause my goodness, their families nearly sued you and Ignavus for it. Now I have to settle for the actions of you both. Now leave this place immediately!”

DB: “I aint leavin Cybie! I came here to fight! I came here to wrestle! It is my RIGHT to beat up some punk in that ring.”

CB: “Your suspended, you broke the rules…youre gonna pay for it by not wrestling tonight…or not wrestling..EVER! You will not enter an X-WCW event until I say you do. If I see you again here outside, I’ll just let these boys shoot you on sight. Now leave!”

CB turns around and leaves the area. Divebomb stays for a while, but eventually, he turns around and leaves the arena grounds. We cut back to the ringside area with JR and RK.

RK: “Whoa. That was one red spot, JR. I thought Divebomb and Chris Back will go at it already.”
JR: “I guess cooler heads prevail, King. Right now its time for our first match of the night!”

Double 12 Tournament Block 4
Hardcore Match
Reaper vs Judge Death vs Sandy "Young one" Drake vs
Rey Jr.

JR: "Well our next match is going to be a good ol fashion hardcore sl- wait a minute!"
RK: "You heard it too JR? It's a big confrontation backstage!!!"
JR: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just gotten word that the hardcore fatal four way match has already started!!!"
RK: "Well damnit get the camera's back there and lets see whats going on!!"

*On the Wartron, a camera finally comes on at the scene of the big fight. The scene is the basement boiler room and the camera turns to the left to start catching some action. It show's TYO ontop of the Reaper, sending some vicious forearm shots with his left hand (in a cast) onto his forehead. 14 punches later, TYO is knocked off from a swing of a helmet to the head by the mysterious Judge Death. JD then starts stomping Sandy multiple times before picking him and taking him back down with a European Uppercut. When JD turns around though, he is taken down by a running drop kick (with a chair at the end of his feet) from Rey Jr. Rey then gets back up and sends a hard chairshot to the stomach one time before locking JD in a leg lock.*

RK: "Oh my god, this match was suppose to start in the ring but they decided the wait was too long. This is freakin great!!"
JR: "Ladies and Gent's if you've just tuned in, we are witnessing a Fatal Four Way hardcore match between Reaper, Judge Death, Rey Jr, and Sandy "The Young One" Drake. Whoever gets the first pinfall or submission will advance to the finals of the Double 12 tournament."
RK: "Look, the ref has left the ring and is now headed towards the action."

*While Rey has JD in a leg lock, The Reaper has gotten to his feet and is stalking TYO. Sandy stands up and turns around only to get taken down from a vicious running clothesline by the Reaper. The Reaper then gets back up quickly and sends a running elbow to the head of TYO, Sandy screams in pain from the shot and tries to sit up, but is then put in a Dragon Sleeper. 40 seconds into the hold, Reaper see's Sandy won't give up so he just slams the back of his head into the concrete as hard as he can then stands up and poses.*

JR: "It looks like Rey has finally let go of his submission hold. What is he planning to do now though?"
RK: "I don't know, but I dont like JD's chances."

*Rey heads over to a table and climbs onto it, then jumps up and hangs onto one of the pipes on the ceiling of the B-room. Rey tries and tries, but just isn't strong enough to pull the pipe off, then see's Reaper headed towards him. Jr. swings off of the pipe and lands onto Reaper trying to hurracurana him, but he just can't do it. Reaper retaliates with a vicious powerbomb through the table and onto the concrete floor head first!! The ref finally makes it too the action and see's Reaper go for the pin.*

JR: "1...2...th-NO KICKOUT!!! WHERE DID HE FIND THE ENERGY TO KICK OUT OF THAT!!?"

*Meanwhile, SD and JD are trading punches, SD breaks it up with a knockdown punch from his cast, then drops a falling fist onto the forehead of JD with his broken hand. A cut comes across Judge's forehead and SD begins to notice that. He heads over to the back and find's a hammer laying on the floor. He picks it up and runs towards JD, but then out of the blue, he feels the "R.I.P." through the wall from Reaper! The 2 appear in the gym of the building and "The Wartron" splits 50/50 (one half shows JD & Rey, the other shows SD and Reaper) to show both fights. A ref is on the tredmill when all of a sudden he see's SD and Reaper come through the wall so he decides to regulate this match also. Reaper goes for a pin.*

RK: "The ref counts, 1...2.. KICKOUT BY YOUNG ONE! MAN KICK HIS ASS REAPER YOU'VE GOT TIHS IN THE BAG."
JR: "This is really a good match."

*On the other side, Rey & JD have finally found eachother and JD is in control. He sends a kick to the gut picks Rey up for a suplex, holds him for a delay, and drops the vert suplex on Rey Rey. He then gets back up and grabs Rey by the legs and drags him to one of the boilers. JD decides to cannapult Rey into the HOT boiler and Rey slides off of it holding his stomach and his mask. JD catches his breathe for a second and heads over to Rey and helps him up by the head. JD attempts to whip Rey into the wall, but Jr reverses it. However, JD stops in his tracks and turns around only to get hit with a step up Enziguri from Rey. JD falls on his back and Rey hits a standing moonsault complete with a pin.*

*1...2...Kickout by JD*

*Rey stands up and looks at one of the walls then looks to JD. JD starts to stand up and Rey runs towards the wall, he then runs up the wall with 3 steps and does a moonsault onto JD, Rey goes too far back, but manages to catch JD with a reverse DDT. Rey then lay's there to catch his breathe*

*Meanwhile, Reaper has TYO in a bearhug and is squeezing the life out of him. TYO, with a hammer in his right hand, hits Reaper with both his cast and hammer at the same time, definantly breaking the hold and knocking Reaper down. Sandy then gets up and see's the heavy bag near Reaper so he gets behind the bag and waits for him to get up. Reaper finally does and turns around only to get hit hard in the face with a heavy punching bag then gets hit with A.B.B!!*

JR: "ABB BY TYO, IT COULD BE OVER!!"
RK: "But look, he is too tired to make the cover."

*SD falls down and they both lay there motionlessly.*

*On the other side, JD and Rey are both getting up, and strangely both find led pipes. They both grab one and stand up just noticing they both have the same weapon. They begin a "pipe fight" (kinda like swords) with JD getting the upper hand by hitting Rey in the ribs. He then takes Rey down with a slap over the back of the head. JD then picks rey over and puts him on his shoulder and rams the little guy as hard as he can into one of the boilers and knocks him out. (ala Taker and Michaels in HIAC). It is so hard that somehow one of the weaker pipes just falls off and lands ontop of JD's head knocking him out also.*

JR: "BAH GOD, THE CARNAGE, THE DAMAGE, THE CRUELITY OF 2 INDIVIDUALS TRYING TO WIN!!"
RK: "This is great JR, I AM LOVING IT!!"

*Back on the other side, SD begins showing signs of life and stands up onto all 2's but so is the Reaper. They exchange blow's with Reaper getting the upper hand with a well placed knee to the gut, he then whips SD towards the TV but he stops himself before hitting it. Reaper then runs towards him for his R.I.P. (spear) but gets smashed in the head with a backwards throw of the TV from SD. The television breaks and Reaper stands there dazed and bloody...finally getting knocked down from another A.B.B. from Young One. This time TYO makes the cover.*

RK and JR at the same time: "1....2....3!!!!!"
JR: "IT'S OVER, BAH GOD IT'S OVER, SD HAS WON THE FATAL FOUR HARDCORE MATCH, AND WILL BE IN THE FINALS OF THE DOUBLE 12 TOURNAMENT!!"
RK: "Even though I hate Sandy Drake, I gotta take off my crown for him, he is injured and still gave his opponents hell."
JR: "Can Sandy "The Young One" Drake go to Blood Bath 3 and win the vacant "X-WCW Xtreme Title", or will his broken hand hold him down."
RK: "That broken hand will be the reason he wins, that cast is everything he needs"
JR: "We'll find out soon enough King."

*The ref hold's Sandy's good hand up in victory but he just lays there. The Wartron show's all 4 competitor's before shutting off and shifting to the backstage area.*

Backstage

We see TGO making his way down the corridors and he stops. He meets Karl Baller and he shakes hands with his friend.

TGO: "yo man! Congrats on your first win."

KB: "Hey, thanks for the compliment. I cant believe it as well. I mean, I thought I'd fall short yet again friend. But damn, are YOU ready for tonight man? You dont seem to be in your wrestling gear right now"

We see TGO wearing a casual blue suit complete with cufflinks that would make James Bond hide in shame.

TGO: "OH? Well ya proved yourself otherwise huh? Tonight, I forgot my wrestling gear and all so I guess I cant wrestle. Right now, YOU should be getting ready. I still got a photoshoot to go through tonight. See you after the show you hear?"

KB: "Sure thing."

The footage ends as both men go their separate ways.

******COMMERCIAL BREAK*******

The scene opens up and we see Karl Baller standing infront of the camera wearing an X-WCW jersey.

KB: “Yo dis is Karl Baller of the X-WCW, telling ya’ll to stay off the drugs. Drugs are not for winners yo! Dis has been a public announcement from de X-dub-cee-dub and yours truly, Karl Baller.”

Before the footage fades, KB does his pose.

KB: “HOLLLAAA!!!”
**********************************

We go back from the commercial break and “Superstar” hits the speakers. Otacon enters the ringside area and the fans just GIVE it to the con man. They boo the hell out of otacon on his way down the ramp.

JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Warzone! We are here LIVE from New York and the X-WCW UW title’s no. 1 contender has made his way down the ringside area.”

Otacon enters the ring and the fans continue to boo him. Otacon looks a bit furious as he holds a mic on his hand. He pulls it up and begins to speak.

OC: “On Nitro, I WAS SCREWED!!! I was supposed to win the match, I was supposed to hold the X-WCW US title. But since D-Ex was the special guest referee, he was BIASED to me. He didn’t give me any opportunity to win the match. Infact, he helped Bonito get the title before I do. So D-Ex, I challenge you to a match that hold dear. Tonight, I want YOU to face me in a hockey stick on a pole match!”

Chris Back appears on the WARtron and the crowd gives a mixed response.

RK: “look JR! Its Christopher Back!”

In the ring, we see Otacon looking at the Wartron with displeasure written all over his face.

CB: “Hi Otacon. I’m so sorry but I cannot allow you to fight D-Ex tonight. You see he already has a match between Grandmaster E. But I do like that idea. So tonight, Otacon, you WILL be competing in that hockey stick on a pole match. Your opponent will be oh…say…ME!”

The fans give a huge pop as CB smiles on the WARtron and Otacon just has a smug look on his face while the footage ends.

JR: “OH MY GOODNESS!!! A HOCKEYSTICK ON A POLE MATCH!!! And King, its tonight!”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break.

X-WCW TV Championship
TRD vs Big Dog (c)

THII: "The following contest is schedualed for one fall with a 30 limit time limit, and it is for the X-WCW Television Title!!! Introducing the challenger.......

*The fan's are quiet till the words "N...T...O.." are heard on the over the P.A. system. The fan's then begin to loose their minds with boo's as "Fuel” by Metallica hits the system 3 seconds later.*

THII: "From Music City, USA, standing at an insane 7'0, and weighing in at 300 lbs, THE REAAAL DEEAAAAAL!!!!!"

*TRD comes out of the curtains with a determined look on his face. He just walks down the ramp flipping people off and spitting on some of the fans. He just slides into the ring and puts up the NTO sign, then just waits for his opponent.*

JR: "Well tonight is giong to be another tv title defense Randal, hopefully it won't be as cheap as the last time."
RK: "Damnit JR, just shut the hell up about that it was a great match."
JR: "You just don't know anything about GOOD wrestling...must explain your own record."
RK: "..................................."

*The boo's turn even louder as "Disturbed" by "Stupify" hits the P.A. system.*

THII: "And his opponent, from Nashville Tenesee, standing at 6'4, and weighing in at 247 lbs, the X-WCW TELEVISION CHAMPION.........BIIIG DOOOOOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*BD makes his way onto the stage with the TV title around his neck like a Dog Collar. He then makes his way down ramp recieving the same amount of heel heat TRD made. BD climbs into the ring and kisses his title, the ref walks over to grabs but BD pushes him off and stares a little longer. He then gives him the title and eyes TRD*

RK: "This is another one of X-WCW's finest, this kid is going to go farrrr!!!!"
JR: "I have noticed you said that about everyone who doesn't go by the rules...."
RK: "You know what, just shut up before I break the rules and kick your ass."

*The bell rings and the competitors waste no time, they manuver to the center of the ring and BD opens up with a right to the jaw. TRD follows up and the 2 go back and forth with punches. BD breaks it up with a knee to the privates and hits a dangerous ddt. He then goes for a quick pin*

JR: "1...quick kick out by TRD!"

*BD gets backup and starts stomping all over TRD's body (ala "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin). When he finishes with the stomps, he follows up with an elbow to the heart of TRD before standing flexing his muscles. The fan's boo at Big Dog and recieve a middle finger from him. BD picks up TRD by the hair, but gets a low blow fromt he big man, TRD then stands up and attempts a powerbomb but BD fights it. TRD answers back with a neck twist (ala Andre The Giant on SVR 05). TRD heads to the left turn buckle and exposes it, he then looks like he wants BD to get up*

RK: "Now JR, don't tell me this match is great!"
JR: "I can't deny it King, this is pretty good, but what is TRD doing."
RK: "BD is getting up and here comes TR-OOOOH MY BOD A RUNNING BIG BOOT TO THE FACE!!!"
JR: "BAH GOOD, THE POWER, THE INTENSITY, THE DESTRUCTION. BIG DOG'S HEAD JUST SLAMMED DIRECTLY INTO THE MAT!!!"

*TRD smiles and does the "NTO" pose again before getting on the middle turnbuckle, he then launches himself off into a big splash and attempts a pin.*

RK: "1..2...th- NO HE KICKED OUT!!"
JR: "I dont know where BD had the energy to get outa that one!"

*TRD gets up and gives out a frustrated look towards the crowd. He then picks BD up by the head and hits a club on his back about 2 times before sending a head butt to him, he then attempts a suplex, but BD blocks it, then hits the big man with a quick Snap Suplex, BD then gets up and and spits on his hand while stalking The Real Deal. TRD finally gets up and turns around only to get slapped with the wet hand just like our neighborhood Brama Bull use to do.*

JR: "It looks like BD is giong to set TRD up for his dog house Deliv....wait a minute, who is that making their way through the crowd."
RK: "What are you talking about JR?"

*In the left section of the crowd, you can see a figure with an NTO shirt on coming through the crowd, he hops over the barrier and runs towards the ring. Meanwhile, BD hits TRD with the Dog House Deliviry and sets up a pin but doesn't get a count. The ref is being distracted by the NTO character....who turns out to be none other then Josh Leyh.*

JR: "THATS THAT NEW NTO MEMBER JOSH LEYH, HE IS ABOUT TO SCREW BIG DOG OVER HIS TITLE!"
RK: "I still dont see anyone JR are you starting to get senile or something?"

*BD gets up, runs towards the ropes, and knocks JL off the apron with a forearm smash, but unknown to him, TRD is equipping himself with some brass knuckles. BD walks over to pick TRD up, but clocked in the face with the brass knuck's then is hit with TRD's finisher "Cutting a Deal". The ref, who somehow didn't see the brass knuckles, makes the count*

JR: "1...2...3, ITS OVER NEW TV CHAMPION, THOSE DAMN NTO MEMBERS ALWAYS CHEAT!!"
RK: "I didn't see anyone....oh well I guess CS is going to purchase a new TV!!"

*TRD gets up and drops too his knees like he just went through hell and back. He raises his hands and stands up reciving the TV title from the referee.*

THII: "Here's your winner, and NEW X-WCW TV CHAMPION!!!, TRD!!!!!!!!!!!"

*He grabs his title and gets out of the ring with Josh Leyh and they make their way to the back, while BD is in the ring still feeling the effects of the brass knuckles and Cutting a Deal.*

Backstage

We see TRD entering the nTo locker room and Starstorm takes him by surprise as they open a wine bottle infront of him. All three members celebrate the win inside the nTo locker room. Soon enough, Josh Leyh and D-Extreme enter the room and join in the drinking. For D-Ex, its mostly for the drinking.

JR: "It seems to me like the nTo has prepared for something like this. Gee I wonder why."
RK: "Oh cmon dont be a party pooper JR! TRD had a BIG win over Big Dog tonight!"


Antonio Australian Awesome vs “The Prez” Jay Rich

THII: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is singles match scheduled for 1 fall with a 20 limit time limit. Introducing first...........

*"Instruments of Destruction" from Transformers: The Movie hits the P.A. system and the boo's start start up like a syncronized Grammy performance.*

THII: "Hailing from Sydney, Australia......he stands at 6'3 and weighs in at an astonishing 285 lbs...ANTONIO AUSTRALIAN AWSOME!!!!!!"

*AAA comes out of the curtains with his signature black outback hat, black wrestling trunks with Antonio written on them, red wrestling boots with AAA on the side of both of them, and a large boomerang. He climbs into the ring and gives the crowd the finger and recieves all the heel heat he loves.*

JR: "Antonio is such a cocky S.O.B., but even thoug he talks the talk...this kid can actually walk the walk. RK: "Well duh, we already know that JR. This kid is going to be the X-WCW UW champion some day I can see it on him."
JR: "If only he can change his ways of cheating he would be better then he is now."
RK: "Damnit....it's strategy JR, not cheating. You are really stupid huh."

*Finally, "Instruments of Destruction" cut's off and "Stronger" by Trust Company hits the P.A.*

THII: "And his opponent, representing Boston, Massachutests, standing 6'4 and weighing in at 230 lbs, THE PREZ.......JAY RICH!!!!!"

*The Prez comes out of the curtain with red, white, and blue wrestling underwear with "The Prez" on the butt, american flag wrestling boots, blue wrist bands, an American Flag on his left shoulder, and a breifcase in the other hand. He recieves a lovely crowd pop as he makes his way down the ramp waving his flag.*

JR: " "The Prez" is back in the X-WCW King, and the fans love it!"
RK: "Man this guy just reminds me of George Bush....DISGUSTING! Hopefully he gets his ass kicked by Triple A tonight."
JR: "You sicken me sometimes King."

*The Prez slides into the ring, but is greeted by a stomp to the back of the head from AAA. AAA starts sending the boots to Jay Rich rapidly, and since both competitor's are in the ring, the ref rings for the bell.*

JR: "Why that no good bastard didn't even wait for the bell to ring!"
RK: "No the bell rang JR, you just didn't hear it."
JR: "AAA picks The Prez up by the head and sends a vicious chop to the chest. He whips him into the ropes and....WHOA A BEAUTIFUL TURNING SPINE BUSTER BY ANTONIO AUSTRALIAN AWSOME!!"

*AAA goes for a pinfall right there, but only gets an early 2 count. He stands up and picks both of Jay's legs up and sends a boot onto the groin. The ref see's this and runs over to AAA and threaten's Antonio with a d/q if he see's anything like that again. They begin to argue and the "Awsome One" AAA pushes the referee, but the ref pushes him back which creates a great crowd pop.*

JR: "And the ref is showing AAA he is not going to take any crap from anyone verbally or physically!"
RK: "THAT REF SHOULD BE FIRED AND SUED FOR PUTTING HIS HANDS ON AAA!! HE IS NOT A WRESTLER AND HAS NO RIGHT!"

*AAA decides to get back on track and starts to pick the Prez up, but gets a punch to the ribs which causes AAA to let go. The Prez stands up on both feet and sends a right fist to the jaw of AAA which sends him back. He repeats this method till he gets Antonio to the turnbuckle on the top right corner, then sends a chop to the Awsome one. Jay Rich climbs onto the second turnbukle and starts up the popular "10 punch" manuver, the fans even count it.*

JR: "Antonio is feeling the wrath of Jay Rich right now King, he gets to the 10th punch and sends a beautiful elbow to the top of AAA's forehead."
RK: "Damnit, AAA needs to step his game up right now JR....let me stop worrying though it is no way he can loose this one!"

*After the Prez gives AAA an elbow, he monkey flips him to the middle of the ring, Jay Rich then kips up and hits a running elbow to the head of Antonio. He picks the "Awsome" one up by the hair and whips him into the left ropes. "The Prez" attempts a clothesline, but AAA ducks it and bounces off the other ropes, on the rebound, Jay Rich leap frogs AAA and lets him hit the right ropes. AAA bounces off of those and takes the Prez down with a vicious jumping knee to the face. He then stands up and starts catching his breathe.*

RK: "That was sweet JR, Antonio just gave "The Secritary" a jumping knee that was exectued even better then Triple H!!"
JR: "It was a pretty good move and could give him the momentum he needs."

*AAA gets behind him and waits for The Prez to get up. When the Prez stands up fully, AAA runs and executes a running bulldog then turns the Prez over for a pinfall.*

JR: "1...2...Kickout by Jay Rich!"
RK: "AAA is getting ready to end this match, I can feel it."

*AAA stands up and mounts Jay Rich, repeadtly slamming his head on the mat. After about 8 times, he picks him up and sets him up for a snap DDT. Jay Rich retaliates by reversing it into a Northern lights suplex complete with pin.*

JR: "A BEAUTIFUL NORHTERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, 1...2..KICKOUT BY AAA. THIS MATCH IS VERY CLOSE AND EXCITING!"
RK: "AAA stands up with Rich and sends a quick kick to the gut followed by a whip into the ropes."

*He throws "The Prez" into the ropes, but gets taken down by a quick flying haymaker. The Prez then kips back up Shawn Michaels style and poses for the delight of the crowd. He then runs to the turnbuckle and climbs to the top, waiting for AAA to get up. AAA does and turns around only to get knocked back down by a missle drop kick. Jay kips back up and grabs AAA by both legs and pulls him to the middle of the ring. He then executes his finishing submission hold, "The Federal Deflict" (Walls of Jericho).*

JR: "YES, HE HAS THE FEDERAL DEFLICT ON AAA, WILL AAA SUCK IT UP AND BREAK THE HOLD OR TAP OUT!?"
RK: "NOOO, THIS IS NOT AWSOME MATE, COME ON GET OUT OF IT ANTONIO!!!"

*After 20 seconds of agonizing pain, AAA finally taps out and the ref signals for the bell. The Prez, lets go and raises both hands as his music "Stronger" hits the P.A. system.*

THII: "The winner of this match by submission........"THE PREZ" JAY RICH!!!"

RK: "NOOOOO THAT DAMN SECRITARY HAS WON ANOTHER ONE!"
JR: "The fans are going crazy from the victory! Stay tuned for more X-WCW action everyone!"

*Jay, raises his hands and victory and heads to the back. Meanwhile, in the ring, AAA stands up and looks pissed off, he also gets out of the ring and heads to the back*

Backstage

We see Karl Baller leaving his dressing room and he starts to walk down the corridors.

JR: "Welcome back ladies and gents to Warzone! Up next, we got a singles action match between Karl Baller and the new nTo member, Josh leyh."

RK: "I think Baller got lucky last time, JR! I think tonight, he WILL lose AGAIN! Hahahah!"

Josh Leyh vs Karl Baller

“Ima Hustla” hits, and the clear fan favorite Karl Baller makes his way onto the stage, receiving a rapturous cheer from the fans.

TH: “The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first: KARL BALLER!”

The cheers continue as Karl Baller launches into his usual rap.

KB: "Chea da kid's hot like lava when ppl hear it dey envy da flow
But it aint about rap.. i'm trashin da queer model of NTO
End his career yo.. no bs, dats just da sickening fact
Give em no remorse, quick to attack... hurt him till he quits and helps Chris get hit from da back
Take dat, da kid will hurt you, I suggest you fallback and cop an Ice Cream Cone
Cuz if you decide to fight me....well i'll beat you till you pass on...den you'll really be in ‘parts Unknown’
Da truth and nothin less...i'll put you in da hospital gettin stich after stich
First you was "No Talent Order's" now tonight you are KB's young bitch...HOLLA!”

Baller races to the ring, then “n-T-o” is heard, followed by “Ghost of You”. After a moment, Josh Leyh makes his appearance, receiving one of the loudest boos in X-WCW history!

RK: “This is SO unfair, JR! Give this kid a chance, morons!”
JR: “Well, he got off on the wrong foot by joining the nTo and running his mouth right off the bat, King, and now he’s getting exactly what he deserves in return!”
TH: “And his opponent, the newest member of the nTo – JOSH LEYH!”

The booing somehow increases as Josh Leyh makes his way to the ring.

Once both men are inside, the bell rings to start the match. Baller and Leyh tie up, but the slightly taller – and much heavier – Leyh gains the strength advantage almost right away. He throws Baller to the mat with great authority, much to the chagrin of the fans, and flexes his muscles in a cocky fashion, soliciting an even nastier response from the audience.

Baller, though, is quick to bounce back. With Leyh having turned around to face the fans, Baller goes for a schoolboy pin!

RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “That ought to teach this young punk a lesson! Gloating like that is possibly the most basic rookie mistake one can make in this business!”

Baller allows Leyh to get up, and he tries to bodyslam Leyh back to the mat, but Leyh locks up, making himself impossible for the smaller Baller to lift. Leyh then nails Baller with a good, strong bodyslam of his own, and once Baller is down, he follows it up by running to the left ropes, springing onto the second rope and launching into an Asai moonsault.

However, Baller is able to roll out of the way at the last moment, causing Leyh to land awkwardly on his stomach. As Leyh rolls over onto his back in pain, Baller gets to his feet, running to the front ropes and rebounding into a quick leg drop. Baller then goes for another pin attempt.

JR: “1…. 2…. NO!”
RK: “Josh Leyh’s been talking the talk since he arrived here, and now I think he’s starting to walk the walk as well!”

Baller allows Leyh to rise again, and he tries to whip Leyh to the right ropes, but Leyh reverses the move, sending Baller to the ropes. Leyh then follows this with a stiff boot to the face, sending Baller crashing to the canvas.

Once again, Leyh poses for the very hostile crowd, kissing his biceps (a la Scott Steiner) before standing over the fallen Baller and delivering an unexpected move: a Rikishi-style butt drop. Naturally, this results in a pin attempt.

RK: “1…. 2…. CLOSE!”
JR: “Karl Baller was just barely able to get his right shoulder up there!”

With the crushing impact to his chest still affecting him, Baller is slow to get up. Once more, Leyh is determined to take advantage of this, grabbing the rising Baller by the forearm and launching into a short arm clothesline that floors Baller again.

Leyh then walks over to the back right corner, climbing the turnbuckles and launching into a diving headbutt. However, the move barely misses its mark; Baller summons enough energy to roll out of the way at the last moment.

Leyh smarts from the impact, and in an act of pure desperation, Baller reaches over for the pinfall.

JR: “1…. 2…. NOT QUITE 3!”
RK: “Leyh almost got a bum rap there, if you take my meaning! Ha ha!”

Both men are a tad slow to rise, but Leyh is the first to recover, whipping Baller into the front right corner, and as Baller turns around, Leyh charges into a corner splash, once again targeting Baller’s hurting chest.

The fans boo Leyh relentlessly as Leyh goes for another corner splash on Baller, which again finds its mark. But when Leyh goes for a third splash, Baller finds the energy to drop to his right, causing Leyh to crash into the turnbuckles heavily.

Baller, meanwhile, gets up slowly, waiting for Leyh to stumble backwards. And once Leyh is within reach, Baller manages to bodyslam Leyh to the mat, following the desperate move with a fast elbow drop and a pin attempt.

RK: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “This one’s still got some life in it, even if both competitors haven’t!”

Baller gets up, but before Leyh can rise, Baller goes for his legs, turning Leyh onto his belly and locking him in a reverse Indian deathlock!

JR: “This could be it! Baller could have this one in the bag!”
RK: “Come on nTo! Show a little team spirit! Help your new guy out!”

Unfortunately, no nTo assistance is forthcoming for Leyh. The hold lasts for another 30 seconds before Leyh shows any sign of fighting back.

Although Baller’s ring positioning is good, Leyh is still able to turn toward the right ropes, and after another 20 seconds, Leyh is able to reach the bottom rope, finally breaking the painful hold.

Baller releases Leyh’s legs, then he runs to the front ropes, rebounding off them and launching into a stiff baseball slide that strikes the downed Leyh right in his midsection.

As Leyh rolls over in more pain, Baller signals for his modified frog splash finisher – the Number One Single – whipping the crowd into a “LET’S GO BALLER!” chant in the process.

Once Leyh is on his back, Baller climbs the back right turnbuckles, launching into the devastating move. While this causes more pain to his already aching chest, Baller still manages to achieve the desired effect, pinning Leyh.

RK: “1…. 2…. 3! Baller wins!”
JR: “And the fans are loving it! Karl Baller’s now finding his rhythm in the ring as well as on the microphone!”

The crowd erupts as Terri makes her announcement.

TH: “Here’s your winner – KARL BALLER!”
JR: “And what a hard fought win that was. Despite all the trash talking, Josh Leyh’s going to have to work hard to become a truly credible force in this business!”
RK: “Though since he’s nTo ‘4 Life’, that shouldn’t be hard to do! Chris Back will take good care of him!”
JR: “Just not today, it would seem!”
RK: “Yeah, whatever! We’ll be right back!”

Warzone goes to an ad break.

We come back from the commercial break and the cameras pan over to the announce table with James Russell and Randal King.

JR: “Welcome back to Warzone!!!! Earlier tonight, we saw Divebomb trying to get in the X-WCW arena, but to no avail. Well, we have a live feed from Ignavus’ apartment with Cole Ryan!!!”
RK: “Ignavus has an apartment?”
JR: “Well, of course he does! Now lets go see whats going on there.”

The WARtron shows the following footage

The Apartment of Ignavus

We open up in a third word hell hole... no, wait, it's an apartment... maybe. A pile of mess shifts around a bit, then eventually Ignavus pulls himself out from a pile of pizza boxes and dirty clothes.

Igz: "How'd I get under there... D-Ex?"

Ryan scoffs at him, then turns to the camera.

CR: "We are here at the...*looks around* apartment of one of our X-WCW superstars, Ignavus. Its a pleasure to see you after that horrible brawl you had with Divebomb."

Igz: "I... brawled with D-Bomb? Really?"

CR: "How can you forget?"

Igz: "I musta been sleepwalking..."

Ryan stares at him incredulously.

Igz: "It's actually really helpful. You get to do stuff, without even waking up! It's my favorite way to get around."

Something moves underneath the sea of garbage on the floor, and runs across Ryan's foot. He looks like he's about to throw up.

CR: "So lets get on with this interview. After you and Divebomb were suspsended, what have you been doing. *looks around again at the apartment*....seriously?"

Igz: "Well... I, um..."

Igz pauses.

Igz: "I did do... no"

He scratches at his goatee.

Igz: "There was that one time... wait, no"

He yawns.

Igz: "I'm not gonna lie to you, buddy. The TV was stuck on QVC, and I ordered seventy three bobbing heads of Sammy Sosa... it was just such a good deal, and they'll go great with the decor!"

Ryan: "By 'stuck on' do you mean you couldn't find the remote and were too lazy to get up?"

Igz: "Ah... duh."

CR: "I hate interviewing you. We have seen what happened earlier tonight with Divebomb trying to get in the X-WCW event. How about you, Igz, would you try to get in the building even though your suspended?"

Igz: "I hate the word 'try.'"

CR: "So, I guess that's a no..."

Igz: "Darn tootin, skippy!"

CR: "About your suspension, do you think the X-WCW BoD plans on bringing you both back before the next PPV to settle your score with each other? If not, then...will you try to settle the score with Divebomb someway even if both of you are still suspended?"

Igz: "The X-WCW has a bod? Is that anything like those "bod-man" commercials? Because those are wicked scary, man... They wig me out."

CR: "Board of Directors, you ignoramus."

Igz: "Aw, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, Ryan. No one's called me Ignoramus since that lisping zombie."

CR: "Get on with the question."

Igz: "Yeah, I think they'll let me in. The Slackomites are protesting at the doors of X-WCW headquarters, they're writing letters to Cyberstrike, they're sending bomb threats to D-Extreme! Or... well, they would be, if they weren't, you know, lazy bums."

CR: "Of course."

Igz: "But, Ryan, let me go on record here. The only way X-WCW is getting me to come back is if they add a line to my contract where I get a professional driver to drive me to all my appearences, and a big guy with a wagon to pull me to and from aforementioned driver's limo."

CR: "You realize that's never going to happen, right?"

Igz: "A man can dream."

CR: "What about Divebomb? Will you settle the score with him personally if you have to?"

Igz: "Maybe, if he comes here, gets on his knees, and hands me a chair to hit him with. Otherwise, it just seems like too much hassle."

CR: "Alright, I'm leaving. I think I'm sinking into this mess. Before I go, any messages to all the Ignavus fans out there?"

Igz: "Be strong, oh loyal slackomites, though the world may be against us, they can never make us exert! Slack Power!"

CR: "Did you just plagarize a civil rights movement?"

Igz: "I totally have a new catchphrase."

CR: "Get me out of here."

Ryan runs out of the room, before he vomits from the stench.

Igz shrugs, finds an old piece of pizza, brushes off the dust, takes a bite, and sinks back into the mess, dissapearing.

Ringside area

We go back to ringside and we see the commentator's table. James Russell looks worried as he looks onto RK, who is laughing out loud.

RK: "MAN! That was hillarious!"
JR: "Calm down, King! We STILL have a job to do. Ladies and gentlemen, Warzone will return after this brief commercial break."

X-WCW goes to an ad break.

X-WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship
Flash Styker vs Tony Bonito (c)

“Medals remix” hits the speakers as we go back on air for Warzone!!!

JR: “Welcome back to WARZONE! Right now, we will have a one-on-one match between Tony Bonito and the former X-WCW US champ, Flash Stryker.”
RK: “These two are one of the best technical wrestlers here in the X-WCW, JR. I tell you, this aint gonna be any ordinary wrestling match.”

We see Tony Bonito finally arriving on the stage to the disdain of the fans. Bonito points up to the sky and the pyros shoot up. He makes his way down the ramp while the fans start to chant “Nito, SUCKS!”

TH: “The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Boston Mass. He is the X-WCW United States champion …TONY BONITO!!!”

TB slides into the ring and spins around to taunt the crowd. He makes his way up the corner and unbuckles his X-WCW US title belt and raise it with both hands.

RK: “If anyone is rightful to be the X-WCW US champ, JR, it HAS to be this man. Tony Bonito is a very patriotic man. Its just so tragic that these idiots boo him.”
JR: “From one American to the other, King, we all ARE using our patriotic rights right now. Its called the first amendment in action, when the crowd chants “nito sucks” every time he goes here in ringside.”

Bonito makes his way down to the mat and hands the US title to the referee while he awaits the opponent. “Speedway” hits the speakers and Flash Stryker makes his appearance in the ringside area.

TH: “And the opponent, from Winnipeg Alberta, Canada…..FLASH STRYKER!!!”

The crowd goes wild as Flash Stryker points at the different sides of the crowd before he crouches down and points at the ring. Within an instant, FS dashes down the ramp and slides into the ring. He goes to the top rope and poses for the crowd before he does a backflip.

RK: “Paul London just called and wanted his entrance back.”
JR: “King, Flash Stryker does NOT wear those creepy looking masks London and Kendrick wear on their way down the ring.”
RK: “Gee, I was TRYING to make a witty remark there, JR. Thanks a lot.”
JR: “Why you’re welcome, King.”

Flash Stryker points at Bonito on the other side of the ring and motions that he will get back the US title belt. Bonito just smirks and mouths off “we will see about that, bucko”. The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring to start the match. Both men lock up and Flash Stryker locks a side headlock on TB. Bonito quickly gets out of the hold and locks a wristlock on Flash Stryker. Stryker runs towards the nearest corner and uses it to shift his weight all over Bonito. Bonito is on the mat with his shoulders down and the referee goes for the count. However, before a count would be made, Bonito kicks out and lets go of Flash Stryker.

JR: “Stryker wisely uses the corner to get outta that sticky situation. Both men are on their feet and Bonito grabs Stryker. Flash Stryker fights him off with some punches to the gut and he follows it up with a huge uppercut to the chin of Bonito.”

TB reels towards the nearby ropes and Flash Stryker charges at him. However, Bonito scouts him and grabs him by the head to toss him outside the ring. Bonito slides to the outside of the ring and picks up Stryker. He grabs Stryker by the head and slams him headfirst on the steel steps. Bonito rolls Stryker back into the ring while he climbs to the top rope.

JR: “Bonito is looking for something big here King.”
RK: “Bonito is known for making a lot of big things happen, JR. Remember last Nitro? He locked the ankle lock on top of the ladder with otacon! How innovative was that?!”
JR: “It was innovative, no doubt. And now, Bonito launching himself for a moonsault on Flash Styker and…NO! Stryker got his knees up!”
RK: “That is gonna hurt the stomach, JR. I hope Bonito didn’t eat anything in the past couple of hours or he would throw up right now.”

Bonito rolls on the mat in pain while we see Flash Stryker pulling himself up to his feet. Stryker is up and sees Bonito crawling into the nearby corner. Flash Stryker runs towards the corner and delivers a basement dropkick straight to the chest of Bonito. Stryker picks Bonito up and whips him into the ropes. On TB’s rebound, Stryker delivers a stiff kick to the gut and bounces off the other ropes before coming back with a swinging neckbreaker.

JR: “Swinging neckbreaker on TB and Stryker makes the pin 1..2…CLOSE!”
RK: “Close is right, JR. But it takes more than that to make TB lose this match.”

Stryker waits for Bonito to get up before he strikes him down with a mighty spinning heel kick. Stryker locks a front face lock on Bonito while both of them are on the mat. Bonito manages to reach out the nearby ropes and Flash Stryker is forced to break the hold. Stryker is up and he awaits for Bonito to get to his feet. He charges at Bonito, but TB takes him down with a drop toe hold. Flash Stryker is down and Bonito has him in a leg lock.

JR: “Bonito takes Flash down to the mat and locks in that leg lock. He is doing the smart thing here, King.”
RK: “You can say that, JR. Flash Stryker can deliver some vicious kicks when he is given the chance to do it. So there is NO doubt in my mind that Bonito wont wait for that to ever happen to him.”

After locking in the submission move, Bonito lets go and starts to kick the leg of Stryker. He picks him up and lifts Flash Stryker before he sends him crashing down with an ankle breaker. Stryker goes down to the mat and he seems to favor his leg. Bonito has a sick smile in his face while he stands over his fallen opponent and shouts at him to get up. Stryker struggles to get to his feet, but he eventually gets to a vertical base. Stryker is approached by Bonito and he meets TB with a couple of punches to the face. Bonito is sent bouncing off the ropes and Stryker takes him down with a flapjack. Stryker hobbles towards the nearby corner and holds his right leg.

RK: “Stryker seems he is resting in that corner, JR. He is hurt bad in that right leg of his.”
JR: “He better be wary, King, Bonito is on his way up.”

Bonito gets to his feet and Stryker charges at him. Before Stryker knew it, Bonito takes him down in a double leg takedown and he quickly applies a figure four leg lock. With both men in the middle of the ring, Stryker struggles to reach any area of the ring with a ring rope. Stryker screams in pain as Bonito locks the hold a bit tighter.

RK: “I am sure of it, JR, Stryker is gonna tap out right now!!!”
JR: “As hard as it is to admit that, King, you may be right. He is hurting in the leg and Bonito has the figure four locked in. Bonito is one of X-WCW best technical wrestlers.”

After a while, the referee asks if Stryker submits to the hold, Stryker violently shakes his head and continues to make a push for it to the ropes. However, Bonito continues to pull him back to the middle. After a few more seconds, Stryker uses all his strength to turn around. He completely reverses the momentum of the hold and Bonito quickly lets go of the move. Both men crawl into opposite corners after they let go of the other man.

JR: “That was impressive of Flash Stryker, King. He was about to lose, but he uses all his strength that he could muster to get out of that situation.”
RK: “The keyword there is “ALL”, JR. He may not have anymore energy to move on into this match.”

Both men get to their feet at opposite sides of the ring and eventually they charge at one another. Bonito goes for a clothesline, but Stryker slides under him and waits for him to turn around. TB turns around and he is met with a hurracanrana. Bonito gets to a vertical base but Stryker tries to take him out yet again, this time, with a spinning heel kick. Bonito ducks under the leg of Stryker and quickly grabs him for the Nito Plex.

JR: “NITO PLEX ON STRYKER!!! Bonito managed to avoid the kick and connect with his finishing move. Stryker is down on the mat and Bonito is up, King.”
RK: “He is taking off his strings, you know what this means….ANKLE LOCK!!!”

Bonito slaps on the ankle lock on Flash Stryker’s hurt leg area and Stryker starts to scream in pain. The referee asks if he wants to tap out but Stryker shakes his head violently as he tries to reach out for the nearby ropes. Before Stryker could manage to hold the ropes, Bonito drags him into the middle of the ring and lies down before he has a leg scissors on the leg of Stryker that Bonito is working on.

RK: “I can feel it, JR! I can feel Stryker tapping out within any second!!!”

After a few seconds, Stryker finally taps out to the submission move and the referee calls for the bell. The bell rings and Bonito lets go of the hold.

TH: “The winner and STILL X-WCW US champ…..TONY BONITO!!!”

“Medals remix” hits the speakers and Bonito raises his arms in victory. He snatches the US title from the referee and orders him to put it around his waist before he shoves it back to him. The referee obliges to Bonito and adjusts the belt on his waist. After doing so, Bonito goes to the top turnbuckle to celebrate as the fans boo him.

JR: “That was a good match between two of X-WCW’s finest, King. However, it seems like Bonito was just too much for the speed demon to handle.”
RK: “You tell me JR, Flash Stryker had NO CHANCE to win this match.”
JR: “I believe he did, King. Its just that Bonito had the edge on Stryker tonight. Folks, do not go away, Warzone will return after the break!”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as we see Bonito making his way to the backstage area.

Backstage

We see Bonito backstage and he has a huge smile on his face after defeating Flash Stryker. He enters his locker room and he sees Christopher Back inside his room. CB stands up and approaches Tony Bonito.

CB: “Nice match, Tony.”

Chris Back extends his hand to TB and flashes a grin. Bonito looks at the hand and looks at CB before he slaps the hand away. TB glares at Back before he responds to the X-WCW CEO.

TB: “Oh, you wanna congratulate me, Chris? You wanna shake my hand after you and D-Extreme beat me up last Nitro? You’re a funny man, Back. REALLY funny, Mr. Back! Now would you please get out of my way before I break your ankle in two for just flashing that cocky grin of yours?”

Back laughs for a while before he looks at TB.

CB: “Oh so you didn’t like what I did to you huh Tony? Well now I hope you feel how I felt when you almost screwed me big time on Starrcade: Xtreme. You think I haven’t forgotten about that night? Of course I can forgive you about that, but I will NEVER forget what you have almost done to my career. I’m not just here to congratulate you though Tony. Infact, I’m here to talk to you about something as well.”

Back pats TB by the shoulder.

CB: “That is, if you don’t mind.”

TB shrugs off the hand of CB before he nods to the X-WCW CEO.

CB: “I heard you were asked to comment about the X-WCW inter-promotional wargames match. You said that you don’t care if they try to take over the X-WCW? In my ears, you are saying that you do NOT care for the company that made YOU famous. You know, Bonito, your one ungrateful piece of slime. You are so lucky to be here in the X-WCW after your XWA/ACW folded. Infact, you better thank me and the X-WCW for salvaging you stinking career in whole. But don’t worry, its NOT like I have your name in the wish list of participants who I have in mind for team X-WCW in that match.”

CB checks his watch and leaves the locker room. He looks back at Bonito.

CB: “Right now, I have important matters to attend to.”

CB heads for the ringside area for the next X-WCW match.

Hockey Stick on a Pole Match
Chris Back vs Otacon

“n-T-o” plays throughout the arena, followed by “Immortal”. After a brief pause, Chris Back makes his entrance, receiving a shower of boos in the process.

TH: “The following is a Hockey Stick on a Pole Match, and the first man to take the hockey stick and hit his opponent will be declared the winner! Introducing first, the leader of the nTo, and the owner of X-WCW: CHRISTOPHER BACK!”

The booing intensifies as Back makes his way to the ring.

A short time later, “Superstar” hits, and Otacon appears on stage, receiving a mixed fan response.

TH: “And his opponent, the man known as The Con Man: OTACON!”

Otacon makes his way to the ring, where the hockey stick is tied to the pole in the back right corner, ten feet above the mat.

The bell rings, and instead of going for each other, both men go for the hockey stick. They rush for the corner, and as Back tries to climb the back right turnbuckles in an attempt to grab the hockey stick, Otacon grabs him, launching him into a Gorilla press slam that takes Back out of the ring.

With a cry of “I’M NOT THROUGH YET!”, Otacon climbs to the top turnbuckle, before launching into a big splash on the downed Back. However, Back rolls to his right at the last moment, causing Otacon to crash awkwardly on the arena floor.

RK: “Nice move, boss! Go for that hockey stick! Bring out the nTo! Man the bilge pumps! Feed the dog!”
JR: “What the hell are you talking about, King?”
RK: “Well, Mick Foley went for cheap pops, JR, so I may as well go for cheap laughs!”
JR: “So what else is new?”

Back springs up, and he once again makes a dash for the hockey stick, but the smarting Otacon has made a quick recovery, grabbing the climbing Back by the ankles and pulling Back right down to the floor again.

Otacon gets back into the ring, and he tries to climb to the top of the back right turnbuckles again. However, Back has regained his bearings, and in a risky move, he runs around to the right ropes, re-enters the ring, springs to the top of the ropes, and jumps onto the pole himself.

The weight of both men proves to be too much for the pole, which snaps free of the turn post and sends both competitors crashing over the safety barrier and into the scrambling audience!

JR: “BAH GAWD! I hope no one was hurt by that!”
RK: “It looks like the people in those rows got away unscathed, otherwise we’d be facing a ton of lawsuits!”
JR: “Wait a minute – isn’t that Tony Bonito?”
RK: “You’re right – it is!”
JR: “Oh no! He’s going for the fallen hockey stick!”
RK: “You’re right again – he IS!”

Sure enough, Bonito does just that, and as Otacon and Back get up, Bonito charges right at Otacon, jabbing him in the gut with the stick and beating him down with it.

Perplexed by this unusual turn of events, the referee calls for the bell. Both Bonito and Back are just as confused.

JR: “There goes the bell, but what’s the referee going to do now?”
RK: “Well, there aren’t any special stipulations such as ‘no DQ’, so it’s anyone’s guess!”

The audience remains relatively silent as the referee confers with Terri. A few seconds pass, and Terri makes her announcement.

TH: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match, as a result of a disqualification, is OTACON!”

The crowd gives a mixed response, but Chris Back is furious. He charges at Bonito, ducking Bonito’s attempted hockey stick strike and taking him down with a spear, followed by a multitude of punches.

JR: “Chris Back has snapped! Bonito has ruined this match for him!”
RK: “Suspend him, boss! Suspend him NOW!”

Before long, numerous security personnel come in to break up the fight.

JR: “This crowd is still a little restless: they wanted this to be a classic match, and they didn’t get it!”
RK: “Who cares about the crowd? My only concern right now is the welfare of our boss!”
JR: “I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll say it again: what else is new?”
RK: “Your hairpiece! Ha ha!”
JR: “Very funny.”
RK: “We’ll be back!”

Warzone goes to a commercial break.

X-WCW Ultimate World Championship
D-Extreme vs Grandmaster E (c)

We go back from the commercial break and we see Terri Hotbody II in the middle of the ring to introduce the next match.

TH: “The following one-on-one match is for the X-WCW Ultimate World Championship!!!”

JR: “Welcome back to Warzone!!! Tonight’s main event will pit two of X-WCW’s biggest stars, D-Extreme and Grandmaster E.”
RK: “I can tell you this JR, D-Extreme is poised to win tonight! I have a good feeling about this match that the X-WCW UW title will fall back to the nTo!”

“First we gonna ROCK!”
”Then we gonna ROLL!”
“Then we let it POP!”
“Go let it GO!”

The pyros shoot down from the ceiling and it explodes on the stage.“X Gonna give it to ya” hits the speakers and D-Extreme comes out to the ringside area wearing an old-school nTo shirt.

TH: “Introducing the challenger, currently residing in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is nTo member…D-EXTREME!!!”

D-Ex makes his way down the ramp while the fans start to boo loudly for the nTo member.

JR: “D-Extreme is a two time X-WCW World Champ, King. He is also one of the toughest competitors here in the X-WCW. A lot of people say he is not that talented of a wrestler, but in my view, D-Ex has a lotta heart when he steps inside that ring. As much as I don’t want to say it, D-Extreme will probably be one of Grandmaster E’s toughest opponents to date as he defends his X-WCW UW title against him tonight.”
RK: “Your damn right about that, JR! D-Extreme is poised to get his third title reign tonight.”

D-Extreme enters the ring and goes into the ropes. He faces the crowd and raises one arm before he faces the stage to await his opponent. The lights go out and “without me” by eminem starts to play in the PA systems. After a while, the stage pyros burst and the lights go back on. Grandmaster E arrives the ringside area with his black and gold “GE” jacket with hood and with the X-WCW UW title around his waist.

TH: “And his opponent, from Australia. He is the X-WCW Ultimate World Champion……GRANDMASTER E!!!”

GE makes his way down the ramp as the fans give him a rousing ovation. GE slaps some hands with the fans on the aisle before he slides into the ring.

JR: “Grandmaster E, formerly known as ‘Eamon X’, seems to be pumped up for this one on one encounter with D-Extreme.”
RK: “Of course he is, he knows that he needs a bit more effort to get a chance to even take the big man down.”

Grandmaster E goes to the nearest corner and climbs up. There, he takes off his hood and slaps his chest ala Christian Cage style before he goes down from it. He unbuckles the X-WCW UW title belt and raises it in the air while he faces D-Extreme, who is standing on the opposite side of the ring. D-Extreme just stares down the champ while GE hands the belt to the refereee. The referee puts the belt outside and rings the bell to start off this match.

JR: “The match is underway King!”
RK: “The tension is in the air now, JR!”

Both men go to the center of the ring and Grandmaster E raises one of his arms and signals for a test of strenght with the taller man. D-Ex just stares in confusion, but reluctantly agrees after a few seconds. Both men lock up in the center of the ring with the test of strength and D-Ex gets the early advantage. However, Grandmaster E uses his strength to overpower the taller man. Before he can beat D-Ex in the test of strength, the taller man kicks GE in the gut to break the hold, thus sparing D-Extreme from humiliation of being defeated by a smaller man in a test of strength. D-Ex delivers some forearms to the head of GE before he whips him into the ropes. On the rebound, D-Ex tries for a big boot but GE ducks down to avoid it.

JR: “D-Extreme misses with the big boot to GE an he turns around to meet a hard chop to the chest! GE hits another chop to the chest of D-Extreme before he bounces off the ropes to take him down with a flying clothesline.”
RK: “Damn! I know GE can learn a new move…but he just took a page out of HBK there with the back flip to get himself up the vertical base! I know its hard for me to say this but, GE sure is one talented wrestler.”

D-Ex slowly gets to his feet but GE is there to meet him with a couple of punches to the body before he kicks him on the gut and delivers a DDT. D-Ex is down and Grandmaster E bounces off the ropes to hit D-Ex with a running fist drop. Grandmaster E picks up the challenger, but D-Extreme slaps away GE’s arms and kicks him in the mid-section. D-Ex delivers a couple of clubs to the back of the champion before GE could counteract with an inverted atomic drop. D-Ex goes down on his knees while GE bounces off the ropes to take D-Ex down completely with a bulldog faceslam.

JR: “Grandmaster E showcased his strength there after he delivered that inverted atomic drop on the taller man.”
RK: “Well, JR, D-Ex is just TALL…..not fat. Infact, I wonder why he aint fat after being such an alcoholic. I guess he pukes after every…..drinking time?”
JR: “As weird as a theory that is, King, I could almost agree to that.”

D-Ex gets to his feet only to get hit by a hard punch by Grandmaster E. Grandmaster E smacks D-Ex a few more times before he whips him into the ropes. Grandmaster E ducks down, but D-Ex hits him with a kick to the face. Grandmaster E stumbles towards the nearby ropes and D-ex sends him out with a clothesline. D-Ex climbs to the top rope and he connects with a flying splash on GE outside the ring.

JR: “OH MY GOODNESS!! D-Extreme just flew off the top rope to hit that splash on Grandmaster E!!!”
RK: “What the?! I know he can do that, JR! But…that early?”

The fans give a pop after D-Extreme executed that splash off the top. Outside the ring, both D-Ex and GE get to their feet while the referee starts to count inside. Both men are at a vertical base and GE hits a hard chop to D-Ex on the chest. D-Ex fights back with a couple of knee smashes to the ribcage of GE before he clubs him hard on the back. D-Extreme rolls Grandmaster E into the ring and he gets back into the ring as well.

JR: “Both men are inside the ring yet again and the referee stopped his count at 7.”
RK: “Time for D-Extreme to dominate, JR!!!”

D-Extreme hauls Grandmaster E up and lights him up with a hard slap to the chest. GE stumbles back and D-Ex takes him down with a big boot to the face. Grandmaster E slowly gets to his feet while we see D-Ex just smirking at the fallen opponent. D-Ex grabs the champ by the head and goes for a hard strike to GE, but GE blocks it. Grandmaster E hammers away at D-Ex with a couple of right hands to the face before he scoops him up for a bodyslam.

JR: “Bodyslam on D-Extreme and Grandmaster E is resurging here, King!!!”

With the crowd on his side, Grandmaster E waits for D-Ex to get up. GE takes D-Ex down with a hard punch to the face and he takes D-Ex down again with another punch. On D-Ex’s third time to get up, Grandmaster E runs towards him and delivers a running DDT. The “G-E” chants start to echo out throughout the building before they start to boo at the sight of Otacon, who is now on the rampway.

JR: “What in the?! What the hell is that man doing here?!”
RK: “Doing whatever he damn pleases, JR! Afterall, he IS the no. 1 contender for the X-WCW UW title. He will face the winner of this match on Bloodbath 3.”

Otacon makes his way towards the ringside area and the fans show their disdain on him by continuing to boo at the con man. Inside the ring, Grandmaster E is in control of the action and he awaits D-Extreme to get up. D-Extreme slowly gets to his feet and Grandmaster E whips him into the ropes. On D-Ex’s rebound from the ring ropes, Grandmaster E catches him and tries to deliver the Master Blaster. To everyone surprise, however, D-Extreme reverses the momentum and delivers a somewhat 180 spin X-Ocution on Grandmaster E.

JR: “OH BAH GAWD!!! D-Extreme just nailed the X-Ocution on Grandmaster E! The champ tried to go for a Master Blaster but he got hit by the X-Ocution.”
RK: “YES! I knew D-Ex could pull it off!”

Both men are momentarily down while we see Otacon finally standing outside the ring to observe. After a few seconds, we see D-Extreme crawling towards GE and placing his arm on top of the fallen man. The referee counts 1…2…but the con man grabs the referee’s leg. The referee turns his attention to Otacon and tries to send him back to the backstage area. However, Otacon just looks the other way. Meanwhile, we see D-Ex getting to his feet and approaching the referee. D-Ex starts to argue with the referee before he also notices Otacon. Putting the pieces together, D-Ex points at the con man outside the ring and shouts some threats to the no. 1 contender.

JR: “I think D-Ex is none too pleased seeing Otacon here at ringside.”
RK: “You think?”

D-Ex turns his attention to Grandmaster E and waits for GE to get up. GE gets to his feet and D-Ex runs towards him for a big boot. GE avoids the attempt and stuns D-Ex with an uppercut. Grandmaster E tries to bounce off the ropes, but Otacon trips him on his way there. GE gets up and sees Otacon outside the ring. Grandmaster E then makes his way to the apron and glares at Otacon for a while before looking back at the ring. Once he does, D-Ex is there to toss GE back inside the ring.

JR: “Otacon is REALLY disrupting this match, King!”

Outside the ring, we see Otacon having a huge grin on his face for what he has done in this match. Inside the ring, D-Ex backs GE into the corner and delivers a couple of punches to the body. D-Ex backs away before he charges at Grandmaster E. GE catches him with a boot on his way there and GE climbs to the top turnbuckle. Before Grandmaster E could fly down, we see Otacon climbing up the apron to distract him. GE gets distracted, and this gives D-Ex some time to bodyslam GE off the top rope. While D-Ex has the momentum in this match, he also punches Otacon off the apron.

JR: “I’m glad D-Ex took the initiative to stop Otacon from interfering this match again. I am certain that the con man wants nothing more than to ruin this main event for both men.”
RK: “Why do you think of that JR?”
JR: “Well he DID injure GE last time so D-Ex cant get the title shot last Nitro. Then, he wants to make GE bleed in his hands.”
RK: “I know that! But, really, why do you think of that JR?”
JR: “Ugh…”

Outside the ring, Otacon looks pissed off after being attacked by D-Ex. He sees the nearby chair and goes over to grab it. Inside the ring, D-Extreme waits for Grandmaster E to get up. D-Ex kicks him on the gut before he places him between his legs. D-Ex does the overhead ‘X’ sign before he hoists Grandmaster E up for the Xtreme Factor. Before he could connect with the Xtreme Factor, Otacon slides in with a chair and smacks it behind the back of D-Ex. D-Ex drops GE and goes down to his knees. Otacon waits for GE to get up and he levels the X-WCW UW champ over the head with the chair. The referee has seen enough and calls for the bell.

TH: “Due to outside interference, the match is declared a draw!!!”

Inside the ring, it looks like Otacon has not done enough to satisfy himself. He picks up D-Extreme and DDTs D-Ex onto the chair. The impact echoes through the arena and silences the fans for a while. He waits for Grandmaster E to get to his feet before he approaches him. Otacon sneaks up on GE and spins him around for the Final Impact.

RK: “YES! Final Impact on Grandmaster E! The champ is down and the challenger is just above him right now!”
JR: “I do not like Otacon for pulling this stint tonight! He had no right to ruin this good main event.”

Otacon grabs the chair and shouts at Grandmaster E to get up. After a while, Grandmaster E gets to his feet and Otacon runs towards him with the chair. Otacon swings the chair at GE, but GE avoids the chairshot. Grandmaster E has Otacon on his hands and slams him on the mat with the master blaster.

JR: “MASTER BLASTER!!! BAH GAWD WHAT AN IMPACT!!!”
RK: “OH NO!”

Otacon lays down on the mat and Grandmaster E looks at him for a little while before he rolls out of the ring. GE grabs his X-WCW UW title belt and makes his way up the ramp. Inside the ring, the referee checks on the fallen D-Extreme while Otacon struggles to get to his feet.

JR: “Grandmaster E is showing Otacon of things to come in their match at Bloodbath! The match has been decided by DQ, GE is STILL the X-WCW UW champ and Otacon has to face him.”
RK: “Otacon wasted a pretty good chance for him to show the champ who was boss tonight. If it was me, I’d just smack GE with the chair while he was down on the mat. But I know Otacon will get back at GE, somehow.

GE makes it to the top of the stage and he turns around to point at Otacon, who is in the ring. Otacon manages to get to his feet and glares at GE. X-WCW comes to a close as Otacon points back at Grandmaster E before he motions that the belt will soon be his.
