70) X-WCW Doubleshot #13: The Countdown to Bloodbath 3

[Cyberstrike]

X-WCW goes on air for Doubleshot. The stage pyros hit off and the fans are on their feet. The cameras swerve over to the announce booth with James Russell and Randal King.

JR: “Welcome ladies and gentlemen for this Pre-PPV edition of Doubleshot! I am James Russell alongside Randal King and we got a packed house here tonight.”
RK: “The count-down to bloodbath 3 is ticking away, JR! I cant wait to see the main event of that PPV! Its gonna be a triple threat match for the X-WCW UW title. Not only that, but it will be in a barbed-wire triple X cage match!”
JR: “It’s a combination of the triple cage match and the barbwire match, King. But that can only spell one thing: XTREME! The three competitors for that main event will be in for the fight of their lives. Well lets kick things off with the first match.”

Pure Wrestling Match
Icon vs Triple X

“Wolfpac” hits the PA system, and The Icon makes his entrance, getting the usual heel heat.

TH: “The following is a Pure Wrestling Match, and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: THE ICON!”

The boos continue as The Icon makes his way to the ring and enters it, and when “The Game” hits, the reception for Triple X is equally frosty.

TH: “And his opponent: TRIPLE X!”

Triple X makes his way to the ring, and once he enters it, the referee briefs both men concerning the rules.

JR: “While the referee briefs both competitors on the rules of this match, I’ll give you folks at home a quick rundown:
1. Both men have to shake hands before AND after the match, regardless of the outcome;
2. Closed fists to the face are strictly forbidden, and will result in an instant DQ;
3. The usual 10-count on the arena floor will be increased to 20, in order to guarantee a clean result, and;
4. Rope breaks for pinfalls or submission holds can only be used 3 times by each wrestler! And after that, any submission holds that involve using the ropes for leverage are perfectly legal!”
RK: “Will both men be restricted to using standard Greco-Roman or Freestyle moves?”
JR: “Not that I know of!”
RK: “Good! I want to stay awake through this one!”

The bell rings to commence the match, with both men shaking hands before tying up in the middle. The tie up doesn’t last long, though, as The Icon breaks it with a knee lift to Triple X’s midsection, and while Triple X is disoriented by this, The Icon capitalises by whipping him to the left ropes.

On Triple X’s rebound, The Icon nails him with another hard knee lift, before locking Triple H in a pump handle position and bringing him to the mat with a modified fallaway slam. The Icon goes for the first pin attempt of the match-up.

RK: “1…. 2…. ROPE BREAK!”
JR: “Triple X got his right foot on the back bottom rope, and he’s down to two rope breaks now!”

Both men get up, and as The Icon goes for a DDT on the rising Triple X, Triple X reverses the move into a Northern Lights suplex, complete with a bridging pin.

RK: “1…. 2…. ANOTHER ROPE BREAK!”
JR: “That’s one each now! The Icon reached out for the rope, and got it!”

The Icon gets up, but as soon as he does, Triple X whips him to the front ropes. On The Icon’s rebound, Triple X goes for a clothesline, but the running Icon ducks it. And on The Icon’s second rebound, he floors Triple X with a spinning heel kick! The Icon goes for a quick pin.

RK: “1…. 2…. KICK OUT!”
JR: “No ropes used this time, so they still have a buffer of two rope breaks each before the modified rules take full effect!”

Both men stand up, but as The Icon tries to take the initiative again, Triple X grabs him by the forearm and whips him through the left ropes to the arena floor.

As The Icon falls, Triple X climbs the front left ropes for a high-risk move, and as The Icon rises, he manages to see Triple X going for a missile dropkick. The Icon sidesteps it, causing Triple X to land awkwardly on the floor.

At this point, the referee begins his mandatory 20-count at 1. Both men get up, and begin to fight their way toward the stage, with The Icon ducking a punch from Triple X and grabbing Triple X in a side headlock while the referee counts 2.

JR: “Even though the count has been doubled for this match, there’s no Falls Count Anywhere stipulation in place!”
RK: “Both men could still be counted out if they’re not careful! And these fans will NOT be pleased if that occurs!”

Having reached the stage area (which is not elevated this time), The Icon drops Triple X with a bulldog, landing hard on the stage. The referee counts 3, and The Icon picks up Triple X, placing him in a headscissor position for a piledriver on the stage floor.

However, Triple X reverses this move into a back body drop, sending The Icon crashing to the floor. The referee counts 4, and the resurgent Triple X brings the dazed Icon to his feet, locking him in an arm wrench and moving back toward the ring.

Once they reach the ring, the referee counts 5, but the count is stopped when Triple X pushes The Icon back into the ring, re-entering it himself shortly afterwards.

Triple X gets up, and he waits for The Icon to rise. And once he does, Triple X gets under him, lifting The Icon up over his shoulders and dropping him with his finishing move: a Death Valley driver!

RK: “This could be it! We could have a winner right here!”
JR: “But they’re both very close to the front ropes! Another rope break may be needed for the match to continue!”
RK: “Here’s the pin! 1…. 2…. YOU’RE RIGHT!”
JR: “The Icon reached the bottom rope, so he has only one rope break left!”
RK: “And Triple X still has two up his sleeve!”
JR: “It’s not over yet!”

Triple X allows The Icon to rise, and as he does, Triple X bounces off the back ropes, taking The Icon back to the mat with a hard spear tackle.

Triple X stands up quickly, grabbing The Icon by his legs and turning him over into a Boston crab!

JR: “Triple X wants this one! And he wants it badly!”
RK: “And The Icon has only one rope break left! He’d better find a way to use it now!”

After about 30 seconds in the hold, The Icon starts to fight his way out of it. He manages to edge his way to the front ropes, and after another 20 seconds, he grabs the bottom rope, using this last rope break to break the hold.

JR: “That’s it! No more rope breaks for The Icon!”
RK: “He’ll have to adjust his strategy drastically in order to win it now!”

The Icon is slow to rise, and Triple X is fast to capitalise on this. He grabs The Icon from behind with an attempted sleeper hold, but after 10 seconds, The Icon turns to face the front right turnbuckles. He manages to edge a little closer to them, until he is able to climb the turnbuckles and reverse the hold into a swinging jawbreaker!

And with a surge of energy, he gets straight up and waits for the dazed Triple X to rise. Triple X gets up, charging at The Icon with a clothesline attempt, but The Icon catches him, nailing Triple X with one of his finishing manoeuvres: a turning Rock Bottom!

JR: “BAH GAWD! The Icon’s getting his second wind now!”
RK: “Though they’re still close to the ropes! But Triple X still has two rope breaks up his sleeve, so he’d better use one now!”
JR: “1…. 2…. He must’ve heard you! He grabs the bottom rope at the front!”
RK: “One left!”

The Icon gets up fast, going for Triple X’s legs and locking him in a Texas cloverleaf. To make matters worse for Triple X, The Icon drags him toward the centre of the ring.

JR: “It could be over! The Icon’s ring positioning is perfect!”
RK: “But Triple X is no easy adversary to beat! He could still use that last rope break yet!”

Nearly 40 seconds pass before Triple X begins to fight back. He tries to shake loose, and 20 seconds later, he uses his last ounces of leg strength to bring The Icon face first to the mat.

Although The Icon still holds Triple X at this point, Triple X is finally able to reach the bottom rope on the left side, using his final rope break and causing The Icon to release the hold.

RK: “That’s it! No more rope breaks for either man!”
JR: “Anything goes from here!”

Triple X is now spent. As he struggles to get to his feet, The Icon gets right up, signalling for his second finishing move: a Kevin Nash-style jackknife powerbomb.

Once Triple X is standing, The Icon boots him in the gut, positioning him for the move and hitting it with great finesse. The Icon goes for the final pin of the match.

RK: “1…. 2…. 3! THE ICON WINS!”
JR: “Neither of these men are firm fan favourites, but they gave it their all tonight!”

The bell rings as Icon celebrates his win, then he waits for Triple X to get up, shaking his hand once he does.

TH: “Here’s your winner – THE ICON!”

The crowd actually starts to cheer for both men, despite their heel status, for the entertaining match they’ve delivered. Triple X asks Terri for her microphone, and she happily obliges.

XXX: “If I may say so, Icon, that was one hell of a match! Much better than the first one, I might add. So how about one more Pure Wrestling Match at Bloodbath 3?”

Triple X hands the microphone to The Icon.

I: “Sure thing.”

The Icon hands the microphone back to Terri, and they shake hands once more before leaving the ring.

JR: “How about that? A third match at Bloodbath!”
RK: “If it’s anything like this one, it could be one for the ages!”
JR: “And if these men aren’t crowd favourites already, they should be after that match!”
RK: “Only time will tell! And there’s more Doubleshot to come, straight after this!”

Doubleshot goes to a commercial break.

Backstage

We go backstage and we see Flash Stryker walking down the corridors. He stops his tracks as he sees Chris Back infront of him.

Stryker: “What do you want, Back?”

CB has a grin on his face before he places his hand on one of Stryker’s shoulder.

CB: “I got some good news for you, Stryker. Its regarding your match at the next PPV.”

CB takes his hand off Stryker while Stryker looks at him in a confused way.

Stryker: “Yes, what about it? I got no match in the PPV! What are you talking about?!”
CB: “Guess what, you do now!”
Stryker: “Really? So whats the match..’boss’?”

CB snickers for a while before he looks back at Stryker and points to him.

CB: “I chose YOU to be one of the participants in the 10 Man Chaos in the ring match. You DO know what is in stake in that match don’t you? You win, you get a shot at the X-WCW UW champ on the next PPV after Bloodbath 3. Does that sound good to you?”

Flash Stryker’s eyes widen after Back announces that he is in the match. With a smile, he nods to Back and shakes his hand.

Stryker: “Sounds VERY good to me! Thanks for this opportunity sir!”

With that, Stryker passes by CB and jumps for joy like a man who just won the lottery.

UCW U.S. Championship
The Prez vs Autobot Jazz(c)

THII: "The following contest is scheduled for 1 fall with a 20 minute time limit!!! This matchup is for the UCW United States championship!!!"

*Some fans boo, while others cheer.*

RK: "Man the UCW was the "WORST" federation in wrestling history. Why the hell is the boss allowing those worthless titles to be defended here?"
JR: "King, the UCW was pretty darn good. It's no reason to poke jokes at it."
RK: "But seriously, the place has to suck when the owner of the fed has basically ALL THE TITLES!! TGO was the UCW champion, X-Division champion, and Tag team champion. Who does stupid things like that!? I would rather join the AWF...nevermind."
JR: "..."

THII: "Introducing the challenger..."

*"Stronger" by Trustcompany hits the P.A. system and the fans start a "USA" chant.*

THII: "From Boston MA, standing 6'4 and weighing in at 230 lbs...THE PREZZ!!!!!!"

*The Prez comes out with an American flag and a briefcase. He walks towards the ring, tagging hands and waving the flag. All of a sudden, he opens the brief case and throws it into the crowd, 100 dollar bills fall out of the case as the fans collect it and cheer for the challenger. Prez slides into the ring and poses for the crowd, then looks towards the back to await his challenger.*

JR: "The Prez is back King, and since he's returned he's been turning heads left and right."
RK: "I hate this guy, just imagine if he ran the country JR. He would have us all killed!"

*"Comin to Your City" by Big & Rich hits the speakers and the fans chant even louder. Everyone can hear a truck reving up.*

THII: "And his opponent, from Melbourne Fl, also standing 6'4 and weighing in at a duplicating 230 lbs... One half of the X-WCW Ultimate Tag Team Champions and the reigning UCW United States champion of the woooorrrld...AUTOBOTTJAZZ!!!!!"

*A white Dodge Ram truck drives through the curtains and AJ sticks his head out the window to the crowds delight. He drives its way to the ringside area and stops infront of the X-WCW ring. AJ gets out of the truck and goes to the passenger's seat, he opens the door and pulls out the U.S. Title and raises it over his head.*

RK: "Wow this is freaky. They both weigh the same and are the same height."
JR: "That is the first time in X-WCW history that this ever happend."

*AJ climbs in the ring and hands the ref the title. The referee raises it over his head while Prez and AJ walk to the middle of the ring. They shake hands and back up while the referee signals for the bell.*

JR: "And the match is on. AJ and The Prez tie up to begin this 5 star match King."

*AJ gets the upperhand and gets behind Prez and puts him in a hammerlock. The prez feels this pain for about 10 seconds, then starts sending elbows to AJ's temple. Jazz lets go and Prez turns around and starts delivering right hands. After the 4th one, he attempts a turn around punch, but AJ ducks and takes The Prez down with his own right.*

JR: "And the Prez is down from that beautiful right hand. I think he got a little dizzy from the turn around clothesline."
RK: "I wish that these 2 would just hurry up. This match is going to be horrible."

*AJ capitalizes on the situation and stomps on The Prez's left leg. Autobottjazz then grabs the leg and drives his elbow into it. Prez grabs AJ's hair out of frustration, but the ref stops it. After about a minute into the hold, AJ lets go and sends about 3 more boots into the leg. He attempts a figure four, but its countered as The Prez pushes him off. Prez stands up and the 2 eye eachother.*

*AJ moves cautiously towards the challenger and they lock up again, only this time, Prez throws AJ straight down. AJ gets up and gets taken down by a running spear. The Prez starts wailing left and rights on AJ's face then sends an elbow to the forehead of the champ. Prez stands up and hits a quick elbow drop, then attempts a pin.*

RK: "1..2..arm up by AJ. Hurry up you 2, I am getting sick just thinking about the UCW..."

*Prez stands up and stomps on AJ's ribs. He then climbs onto the nearest top turnbuckle and waits for AJ to get up. AJ gets up and the Prez takes him down with a double axe handle. He attempts a pin again only to recieve the same fate. Prez gets up once again, but this time takes the champ with him. He hits the champ with a left hand chop 2 times, then bounces off the ropes for a clothesline. AJ reverses with a back body drop then falls backwards for the pin.*

JR: "1...2..kickout by the Prez! This is pretty good!"

*AJ gets back up and begins to regain some stamina. He waits for the Prez to get up, then takes him down with a jumping clothesline (Taker style). AJ stands up and picks the Prez up also, he kicks him in the gut and inserts the 230 pounder in head scissor position. AJ hits a vicious powerbomb then falls back on his butt from the impact. 8 seconds later, AJ crawls for a pin, but TP starts to get back up. AJ shakes his head and stands up to stalk his opponent.*

JR: "I think AJ is ready to use his Energon Driver now King!"
RK: "Good, lets get this over with."

*The crowd start up a "Transformer" chant as The Prez starts to get up. He turns around and recieves a kick to the gut, then AJ sets up the Energon Drainer. All of a sudden, the 230 Pounder reverses it with a Hurracarana out of no where!! He stands up and AJ lays on his back suprised. AJ gets up quickly and gets taken down with "The Veto" which shocks everyone. TP goes for the final pin.*

JR: "1...2...3, NEW UCW UNITED STATES CHAMPION!!!"

*"Stronger" by Trust Company hits the speakers while the fans chant "USA" over and over. TP gets up and notices what just happend, he raises his hands in victory and smiles as the referee hands him his U.S. title.*

THII: "The winner of this match by pinfall...and NEWWW UCW UNITED STATES CHAMPION...THE PREEEZZZ!!!"

*The Prez helps AJ up and they stare at eachother. Then, out of no where, the former champ puts his right hand out for a handshake. The new UCW U.S. champ shakes the hand which causes the fans to cheer louder. They both raise eachothers hands and begin to leave the ring.*

JR: "Ya see King, thats what wrestling is all about."
RK: "Yes, this boring crap is over!! AJ better get use to not having a title, StarStorm are going to take the tag team titles from him and his superzero friend too!"
JR: "....I doubt it. Anyway, we'll have more action on the way folks, don't turn that channel!!"

Backstage

We go backstage and we see Karl Baller and TGO walking down the corridor. They look like they are talking to one another and we barge into their conversation.

TGO: “Yo man, tonight, we are gonna SCHOOL those punks in the ring.”
KB: “Totally! Ah mean, dem boyz aint gonna know what WHUPPED their asses the next day!”

Both men give each other high fives before they stop their tracks. They look at the two people blocking their way and they glare at them. Starstorm and The Thrillaz go face to face before Alec speaks.

AL: “Well if it aint the thrillaz.”
KB: “Well..if it aint the nTo’s top two bitches! Hey, congratulations boyz. I just cant believe you couple of puss*** had to let your bosses get a win for you to let you two into that TLCC match. That is VERY manly of you two huh?”

KB chuckles and he slaps hands with TGO before they look back at Starstorm with a couple of cocky smiles. RD and AL don’t look so happy after hearing that and Raven Darkstorm speaks this time.

RD: “So you think your funny huh Baller? Wanna know whats funnier than your joke? Its when those two rookies are gonna pull off a victory over you guys. Hey, don’t be insulted, its not like you two suck. Its just that, I think when they look at YOUR *points at KB* win-loss record here in the X-WCW, they would know how EASY they could beat you.”

KB looks furious and is about to attack RD. However, TGO pulls him back before he does anything that would start a brawl between the two tag teams. Starstorm walks off the corridor while KB shakes TGO off.

TGO: “Take it easy buddy, save that anger for our match ok?”
KB: “*Glares at Starstorm walking off the screen* Ayt. I will. But I tell you right now dawg, they are gonna GET theirs come Bloodbath.”

The scene fades to black as The Thrillaz make their way down the corridor again.

Triangle Match
Renegade vs Sandy Drake vs TRD

We go back to ringside for the next match.

JR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot!”
RK: “Damn, we almost saw a scuffle at the backstage area JR. Its too bad TGO had to keep KB off. I mean, I wanted a brawl. Lets see how GANGSTA that KB is when he gets a piece of Starstorm.”
JR: “I on the other hand, applaud TGO’s efforts for keeping his partner in check. Well enough about that, lets start the next match.”

THII: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a triple threat match with a 20 minute time limit. The first one to score a pinfall or submission will be declared the winner!!! Introducing first...."

*"Hurt" by Johnny Cash hits the P.A. system and the fans give out a negative response. Ron "The Renegade" Michaels comes through the curtains with a cocky smile and begins to stroll towards the ring.*

THII: "From Out West, standing 6'4 and weighing in at 276 lbs...RON "THE RENEGADE" MICHAELS!!!!!!"

*RM slowly strolls down the ramp with his normal cocky smile. He stops and looks at an obese fan and snatches his nachos. He continues to walk towards the ring and begins to eat the nachos. The fan attemtpts to jump over the barracade, but falls over while security takes him to the back.*

RK: "Here is one of the greatest wrestlers in our buisness today JR. It's ashame he is going to lose."
JR: "Oh bah gawd, did you just say a heel is going to lose?"
RK: "Heel? The fans love this guy, and The Real Deal is taking this one."

*When RM gets into the ring, he finishes the nachos and throws the empty box into the crowd, then waits for his next opponent. "NTO" is heard on the speakers followed by "Unleashed" by Saliva. The booing intensifies as TRD makes his way out of the curtains.*

THII: "And his first opponent, from Music City USA, standing 7'0 and weighing in at 300lbs, THEEE REEEAAAAL DEEEAAAAL!!!!!"

*TRD, with a serious look on his face, walk at normal speed. When he gets to the ring, he slides under the ropes and looks to the back for his opponent.*

RK: "See, TRD is syked about this match, he's going to win."
JR: "Not neccisarily King, don't forget about our last competitor."
RK: "I bet he's your favorite huh you kiss ass."
JR: "..."

*"Behind Those Eyes" by 3 Doors Down hits the speakers and the fans boo's turn into cheers.*

THII: "And the 3rd and final opponent, from Vancoover BC, standing 6'2 and weighing in at 225 lbs...SANDY "THE YOUNG ONE" DRAAAKE!!!"

*SD comes out of the ramp jumping up and down and getting hyped up. The crowd start cheering very hard as he makes his way down the ramp. A very sexy female fan jumps the barracade and starts touching Sandy and kissing all over him, but security pulls her away. An "I LOVE YOU SANDY!!!" is heard as she gets pulled to the back, Sandy smirks and slides into the ring looking at the other two opponents.*

JR: "Sandy Drake is an awsome competitor King. You know what, this will be a good ol fashion s-"
RK: "Slobber Knocker. I know JR, you always say that. You need to stop man, you remind me of Jim Ross."
JR: "Whatever. Anyway, this is one of the triangle matches that involves the 6 competitors for the Ultimate Endurance match. Whoever wins this one will have an edge at Blood Bath 3."

*SD's theme song cuts off and the referee singals from the bell. The 3 men begin to circle around the ring a little, then RM and TRD engage eye contact. They nod and attempt a double clothesline on SD, but the quick young one ducks, turns around, and hits a beautiful dual drop kick on the two heel wrestler. This attracts a "Young One" chant as he starts sending the boots towards RM.*

JR: "Damnit, not only is Sandy in trouble since these 2 have decided to double team him, but Ron hates The Young One. If you remember, at GZIII TYO and Michaels hated eachother with a passion. Michales even eliminated Sandy from the X-Rumble qualifiers."
RK: "All the more reason the fetus is going to lose!"

*While stomping on RM, SD spots TRD getting up from the corner of his eye.*

JR: "TRD is starting to get back on his feet. Sandy bet-BOOM A.B.B ON THE REAL DEAL!!!"
RK: "DAMNIT, SANDY IS GOING FOR THE COVER!"

*As soon as TRD stood up, he charged at SD and was taken down by a vicious A.B.B. from Sandy. SD attempts the pin, but gets a 2.999 count thanks to "The Renegade's" interferance. RM stomps on the back of TYO a copule of times and pulls him off TRD. He helps him up by the hair and hits a European uppercut, a left hand to the face, another European uppercut, and a swift standing dropkick. TRD starts to wake up fromt he A.B.B and sees RM decimating SD. The 2 heels head to the lonely baby face and start stomping on the X-WCW new blood. After they finish, TRD helps TYO up by the hair and inserts him in Gorilla Press position. RM gets down on one knee and TRD drops TYO on RM's other knee head first.*

RK: "And some great teamwork by these two. Maybe Mr. Back will let Ron into the "NTO" and Ron and TRD could win the tag team titles."
JR: "I doubt it..."

*RM attempts the pinfall, but TRD breaks it up. RM gets up and uses the "time out" gesture and the 2 begin to talk. 20 seconds later, TRD nods his head and they both pick TYO up. They attempt, and execute a double suplex on the Drake then RM gets onto the right top turnbuckle. He jumps off with a crossbody to hit TYO, but TRD runs and catches him in mid-air, then power slams him onto the canvas. TRD attempts a pinfall.*

JR: "BAH GAWD WHAT POWER!! 1..2..NO, KICKOUT BY RON MICHAELS!!"
RK: "That was smart, right JR??"
JR: "Well it was none the less a very strategic manuver. You shouldn't trust anyone in a triple threat matchup."

*TRD stands up and helps RM up with him, he hits the 6'4 man with a belly to belly suplex. He then looks at SD and attempts a running leg drop, but TYO rolls out of the way. The fans start a "Young One" chant as TYO tries to regain his balance and stand up. The ref starts the 10 count since all 3 men are down.*

*By the count of 8, TYO kips back up. He spots TRD getting up so he waits for him, when he does, SD runs and hits a spinning wheel kick to the face and takes the big man down. He gets up and see's RM wake up also. RM stands up and turns around only to see TYO jump up and grab his head, spin around, and hit him with a tornado DDT. TYO kips back up and the fans cheer while he looks at the 2 men laying on the ground.*

JR: "The Young One is gaining momentum King. It looks like the end for these two!!"

*TYO starts getting excited and picks up TRD. The smaller guy attempts a scoop slam, but unfortunately, TRD is to strong. He sends an elbow to the left shoulder of TYO and then hits a reverse atomic drop. TRD back up and hits a vicious clothesline on TYO. He attempts another pin and only gets a two. When he stands up, TRD turns around and gets caught with a lightning fast small package pin from RM.*

JR: "SMALL PACKAGE, 1..2...thr-NO, KICKOUT BY TRD."
RK: "Phew, that was to close for comfort there James."

*RM gets up and heads towards the ropes. A frustrated TRD gets up and darts for RM, but RM ducks and back body drops TRD over the top rope and onto the barracade legs first outside the ring.*

JR: "It looks like TRD won't be getting back in the ring.
RK: "Believe me, TRD is going to win this one real soon. You watch."

*TYO starts to get up and RM looks at his weary opponent. RM stalks The Young One and awaits for him to get up and turn around. When he does, RM attempts his "Wild Kick" (Superkick), but luckily for TYO, he catches the kick. TYO spins him around, but while RM spins, he attempts a spinning clothesline. TYO ducks and runs to the ropes, on the rebound, he catches Ron Michales with a quick A.B.B. He signals for the end and points at the top left turnbuckle.*

RK: "COME ON TRD, GET BACK IN THE RING AND WIN THIS THING FOR THE NTO!!"
JR: "I think Sandy is going to end it, RM better find away to get back up."

*The camera pans on TRD's face, and he is laying on the outside dazed. Back in the ring, Sandy has climbed onto the top left turnbuckle. He jumps off and hits his spinning frog splash finisher, the "Fountain of Youth". He attempts the pin.*

JR: "1...2...3, SANDY DRAKE HAS WON THE MATCH!!"
RK: "NOOOOOO, TRD WHY!!! "

THII: "The winner of this match by pinfall, SANDY "THE YOUNG ONE" DRAAAAKEE!!!"

*"Behind Those Eyes" by 3 Doors Down hits the speakers and the fans cheer. TYO stands and staggers towards the ropes, the referee raises his hand in vicotory. After that, TYO gets out of the ring and slowly heads towards the back with his hands raised over his head*

JR: "Well, Sandy "The Young One" Drake is victorious tonight. The question is, will he do it again at Blood Bath 3?"
RK: "Of course not, TRD has this one in the bag."
JR: "We will find out soon enough King. Don't go anywhere, we've got more action for you coming up next."

*TRD is just waking up outside and Ron Michales is starting to get himself together also.*

X-WCW Studios

We go back to our regular scheduled programming to see CR sitting beside Grandmaster E in the X-WCW studios.

CR: “Welcome back to the regularly scheduled X-WCW program. Tonight we have here in the X-WCW our very own..GRANDMASTER E!!! Welcome to the show champ.”

GME: “Its great to be here, Cole.”

CR: “With Bloodbath 3 nearing, what have you been up to these past days?”

GME: “The usual Cole. I mean, aside from working out and reviewing my past matches…I got nothing to do.”

CR: “The stipulation for the main event is a barbwire triple X cage match. With that in mind, champ, how do YOU prepare for a match like that?”

GME: “Simple, if I enter into a kind of match that I NEVER been on, I’ll just do whatever is necessary to win it. Its all about mind over matter Cole. If I think I can win, I KNOW I can win this damn match.”

CR: “Lately, the odds are being stacked against you. Not only will you be facing Otacon, but D-Extreme has been added into the matchup. Considering that Otacon is out for blood and D-Extreme is out to get the title again…do you think you can overcome the odds?”

GME: “Being a champ is overcoming all the odds. Right now, the odds are stacked up against me going into the PPV. Otacon is trying to make me bleed at every show. D-Extreme has been trying hard to get another world title reign. Those two guys, are probably two of the toughest SOBs the X-WCW has ever known. However, Cole, I don’t care. They can double team me if they want to, but I wont care. You see, those two may or may not be stronger than I am…but you can NEVER say that they have more integrity than I do. Unlike those guys, I got the drive to win this thing aside for pride, for ego or for recognition. The fans, they are the ones who support me to carry on this title I have right here. *pats the X-WCW UW belt*. They are the ones who make me strive to be a better champion. And at Bloodbath 3, I will win, NOT because for self-glory and self-gratification…but to show my thanks to everyone who has been with me through thick and thin.”

CR: “Well thanks for your input about the match, champ. Lets take you all back to ringside for the next match.”

Triangle Match
Antonio Australian Awesome vs Bruno Brazilian Badass vs Xbomb

We go back to ringside for the triangle mach.

JR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot. Our next bout features three of the competitors in Bloodbath’s Xtreme Title match. The winner of this match will have a lot of momentum heading into the event.”

“Instruments of Destruction” by NRG plays through the arena and AAA appears at the top of the stage.

TH: “The following contest is a triangle match scheduled for one fall to the finish. Making his way to the ring, from Sydney, Australia, weighing 285 pounds, Antonio Australian Awesome.”

Antonio enters the ring and climbs the ropes. Some fans mouth off at him and he flips them off.

“Move Bitch” by Ludacris plays and BBB appears.

TH: “From Brasilia, Brazil, weighing in at 480 pounds, Bruno Brazilian Badass.”

Bruno climbs in the ring over the ropes and waits in an opposite corner from Antonio.

“Encore” by Jay-Z hits and X-Bomb appears.

TH: “And from New York City, weighing 320 pounds, X-Bomb.”

X-Bomb enters the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. He climbs down and the three men stare each other down. The bell rings and the match is underway.

X-Bomb and Antonio lock up in the ring. After a few moments, Bruno comes over and pushes them both to the ground.

JR: “Bruno is showing his strength early in this contest.”

RK: “It would definitely be hard to bet against him.”

X-Bomb goes to clothesline Bruno, but that is useless. The big man shakes it off. Antonio springs off the ropes and gives a chop to the back of Bruno’s knee. Bruno goes down to one knee. X-Bomb then gives him a boot to the face.

JR: “It appears the two men are working together to take down the big man. Good strategy at this point of the match.”

It doesn’t last for long as X-Bomb then throws a punch to Antonio and the two lock up again. Antonio is able to throw X-Bomb to the ground gives him a standing knee drop. He goes for a cover, but only gets a one count.

RK: “A little early for the cover.”

By this time Bruno has gotten up and whips Antonio to the corner. The big man follows through with a splash causing Antonio to double over and hit the floor Ric Flair style.

Bruno turns AAA over and goes for a cover, but X-Bomb breaks up the count.

Bruno gets up and X-Bomb gives him a chop cross the chest. Bruno responds with one of his own. X-Bomb gives him another, and Bruno responds back. They continue to this five more times.

RK: “James, I think Bruno’s holding back on his chops.”

JR: “I think you may be right, Randall. Bruno’s chops seem to be lacking.”

Randall King’s thoughts are quickly proven correct as on Bruno’s next turn, he uses his full strength and causes X-Bomb to hit the canvas with a powerful chop. Bruno then bounces off the ropes and splashes on top of X-Bomb. He goes for a pin, but is stopped by AAA who has recovered from earlier.

AAA gives Bruno a club to the back. The big man is brought to his knees. AAA grabs his arms and drives his knee into the spine of Bruno.

JR: “And Antonio Awesome pulls the arms back to apply extra pressure to the hold. Bruno is in agony right now.”

RK: “This kid knows what he’s doing. He’s got a way to beat Bruno.”

JR: “That may be, but he mustn’t forget about X-Bomb who is recovering in the corner.”

AAA breaks the hold and applies a sleeper hold on Bruno. He wrenches in the hold and Bruno starts to fade. The ref lifts Bruno’s arm and it drops for the first time. Bruno is visibly weakened. The ref lifts his arm ad it drops again.

RK: “I think this one’s over.”

As the ref lifts the arm, X-Bomb delivers a fist to the back of AAA’s head. AAA breaks the hold and X-Bomb goes for a pin on the fallen Bruno, but AAA breaks the pin with a foot to X-Bomb’s gut.

X-Bomb brings the Australian to his feet and delivers a European uppercut. He then plants AAA with a DDT. He goes for a cover, but only gets a two count.

Bruno picks X-Bomb up and whips him over the top rope. The ref turns and checks on X-Bomb and AAA takes advantage of the moment to score a low blow that brings Bruno down. The ref looks back and sees that AAA has gone for a cover.

Bruno kicks out. AAA goes runs and jumps over the ropes, taking X-Bomb to the ground. The to men get back up to their feet slowly. Bruno goes to the outside and clangs heir heads together. He then climbs back in the ring and poses for the crowd.

The two men get up again, but AAA manages to get up quicker. He grabs X-Bomb by the head and slams it into the ring steps. X-Bomb is dazed and AAA does it again. He climbs back in the ring to face off with Bruno.

Bruno goes for a clothesline as AAA enters the ropes, but AAA ducks it and responds with a super kick and the turn around. This knocks Bruno down and AAA rolls him over and applies an STF to the big man.

JR: “And Antonio looks to end the match with the submission hold. He is really wrenching on the neck of Bruno.”

RK: “Well he was until X-Bomb broke it up.”

X-Bomb has entered the ring once again and has broken up the hold to keep the match going. X-Bomb picks AAA up and the two lock up. The two exchange several punches while Bruno gets up.

Bruno ascends to the second rope and gets in position to club both men. AAA realizes this and quickly throws X-Bomb to the corner causing X-Bomb’s head to crash into Bruno’s crotch.

AAA gives the wolf pac sign signaling his Dingo Drop finisher. He connects with the maneuver and plants X-Bomb face first. He rolls him and over and moves as Bruno double over in pain and falls off the rope on top of X-Bomb. Both men’s shoulder’s are on the mat and Antonio covers them both.

“Instruments of Destruction” by NRG plays over the PA as the ref raises Antonio’s hand in victory.

TH: “Here’s is you winner via pinfall, Antonio Australian Aewsome!”

RK: “I knew Antonio could do it. He could be our next Xtreme Champion.”

JR: “You’re right, Randall. His victory tonight gives him a lot of momentum going into Blood Bath’s six man match for the Xtreme Title. He very well could be the champ. So could any one of the five other men in the match. Folks, there is sill more to come tonight. Stay tuned for more Doubleshot.”

Tyler Sutton and Sean Byrne vs The Thrillaz (TGO and Baller)

Doubleshot comes back from the commercial break and “Pledge Allegiance plays throughout the speakers.

TH: “This next contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from London, Ontario, Canada, weighing 185 pounds……TYLER SUTTON!!!”

Sutton makes his way out of the curtains to a positive reception from the crowd. He makes his way down the ramp and slaps some hands of the fans on the way down. He slides into the ring and makes his way to the top rope for a pose.

JR: “Tyler Sutton made a huge impact last Warzone after defeating Mitch Barker. This man claims to be an Xtreme wrestler, King. I don’t doubt his claim after lasting that bout against one of X-WCW’s toughest competitors.”
RK: “Don’t you mean X-WCW weirdest competitors?”
JR: “I know Barker may have had a few knocks over the head, but he is one tough son of a gun.”

“Ironman” by Black Sabbath blares into the speakers and Sean Byrne comes out, to a NOT so warm reception from the crowd. Infact, the cheers turn into loud boos and heckles as Byrne makes his way down the ramp.

TH: “And his partner, from Boston Massachusetts. He is SEAN BYRNE!!!”

Byrne enters the ring while Sutton jumps off from the top turnbuckle. Both men stare at the other before they eventually shake hands and talk in the corner.

JR: “These two men need to get a win here tonight, King. If they win, both of them will enter in the 10-Man Chaos In The Ring match at Bloodbath. That match itself can catapult the careers of one of these men..if either Sutton or Byrne will manage to get a win in that match.”
RK: “Catapult is a good word to describe it, JR. If they do win tonight and if one of them wins at the PPV in that match, they get a chance to fight for the X-WCW UW title, our TOP most prize here in the X-WCW!”

Sutton and Byrne look at the stage and they await their opponents. Suddenly, “Bullets” by Creed hits the PA systems and TGO comes out to a huge ovation from the crowd.

TH: “And their opponents, introducing first...THE GREAT ONE!!!”

TGO stays on the stage as the song fades out and “Ima Hustla” fades in. Karl Baller comes out to the ringside area and the crowd reaction gets even louder.
TH: “And his partner, from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. He is “DA KID”…KARL BALLER!!!”

Through the speakers, we hear Karl Baller’s rap.

KB: “Ayo our opponents are wack, like old bread dey wrestling stale/
Sean really bout to get burnt like he rep da depths of hell/
Notice dude can't spell, he illiterate when he talkin his smack/
Don't worry cuz when I single you, it'll be felt from ya brain to ya back/

Look at his face, he step in dis place *points to the ring* and i'ma burst all his red bubbles (refering to acne)/
TGO will hurt you on da double, you punks will hate dis/
Cuz my homie serving some painfull pie, he'll give you a slice as he cuts his greatness/
So make dis easy for ya self and use ya retarted brains with all ya might/
And take your punk a**** home so we don't beat da sense out of you tonight/”

KB enters the ringside are and he and TGO nod at each other. With that done, bot KB and TGO dash down the ramp to make their way to the ring. Both men slide into the ring and go to separate corners and pose for the crowd. The music is cut off and they jump down from the corner.

JR: “The match is almost starting, King. I can just feel the intensity right now.”
RK: “I know, and I got a feeling, JR. I got a feeling that tonight, something BIG is gonna happen here. I aint sure if its in this match or in the main event..but its gonna be BIG!”

The bell rings and the match has begun. The Great One and Tyler Sutton start off this match and they lock up. Tyler Sutton locks on a front face lock on TGO, but TGO uses his strength to ram Sutton into the nearest corner. With Sutton on the corner, TGO punches Sutton on the face a couple of times before he backs off. He charges at the corner, but Sutton greets him with a boot to the face. Sutton goes to the second rope and launches himself towards TGO.

JR: “Sutton comes off the ropes and goes for a tornado DDT. TGO shoves him away and Sutton lands on his feet. The Great One goes for a clothesline and Sutton ducks down. TGO turns around and he is met by an enzugiri to the back of the head.”
RK: “That was one of the most exciting sequences…I EVER saw where it involved TGO. Usually, the most entertaining part of his matches were…when he gets his ass kicked. Then I realized something, JR!”
JR: “What is it King?”
RK: “TGO IS getting his ass kicked again. No wonder its entertaining.”

Sutton waits for TGO to get up before he kicks him in the gut. TGO fights back with a right hand to the face of Sutton and Sutton kicks him again. TGO swings a hard right to the face of Sutton and it sends the X-WCW newcomer reeling into the nearby ropes. TGO charges at Sutton, but Sutton sends him over the ropes. Sutton turns around and he sees TGO landing safely behind him on the apron. TGO delivers a shoulder charge into the mid-section of Sutton before he hooks him up. TGO puts his feet on the second rope and delivers a 180 spin DDT that plants Sutton down on the ringmat. This move gets a huge pop from the crowd.

JR: “AMAZING! TGO delivered a tornado DDT from the apron! The Great One with the pin 1…2..and no! Sutton gets a shoulder up before the three count.”

TGO pulls Sutton to a vertical base and lights him up with a hard chop to the chest. TGO delivers a couple of more chops to Sutton before he whips him into the ropes. TGO goes for a chop on Sutton’s way back, but Sutton ducks down. TGO looks behind him and he is met by a spinning leg lariat by Sutton. TGO gets to his feet and he is met by a hiptoss. Sutton waits for TGO to get up and tries another hiptoss on him but TGO blocks it and delivers a hard knee on the gut of his opponent. TGO lifts Sutton on his shoulders for a back suplex, but Sutton slides behind TGO and has him in a waistlock. Sutton rolls TGO up for the pin but it only gets a two count.

JR: “Sutton almost got TGO there and it MAY have given an upset win over the thrillaz!”
RK: “An upset would be a HUGE understatement for that, JR.”

Both men get to their feet at the same time and Sutton charges at TGO. Sutton goes for a body scissors into a bulldog, but TGO counters it with a faceslam on Sutton. With Sutton down, TGO drags him into his corner and tags out to Karl Baller. Both TGO and Baller wait for Sutton to get up before they clock him hard with a double superkick. With TGO back on his corner, Baller picks up Sutton and clubs him a couple of times.

JR: “Da Kid is in this match and he is taking control of Sutton.”

KB sends Sutton into the corner and follows him over. Sutton greets KB with a hard elbow to the face and goes to the second rope. With KB stunned momentarily, he runs towards Da Kid and takes him out with a swinging neckbreaker. On Sutton’s corner, we can see Byrne reaching out his hand and screaming that he wants a piece of Baller. Sutton gets to his feet and reaches his corner to tag out to Byrne.

RK: “Here comes the boston rocker, JR. I think he is gonna enjoy every bit of punishment he can dish out on the poor rapper.”

Baller slowly gets to his feet, but before he completely does, Byrne is there and he delivers a number of punishing clubs to the back. Byrne picks up Baller and kicks him hard on the gut before he delivers a couple of huge right punches to the face of his opponent. Byrne backs Baller into a corner and continues his assault by stomping a mudhole on X-WCW’s resident rapper. Byrne holds onto the rope while he uses his boot to choke on Baller. Eventually the referee breaks it up and Baller is down on the corner.

JR: “Byrne is just TAKING it to his opponent right now.”
RK: “This guy, has every right to be in the 10 man chaos in the ring match. I tell you JR, with that guy in the ring, it will REALLY be chaotic.”

Byrne picks up Baller in the corner and he has him in his grasps. However, Baller uses all his might to get out of Byrne’s clutches with a couple of headbutts. The third headbutt is delivered onto Byrne and he lets go of Baller. Baller starts to fight back at Byrne with some hard rights on his opponent. Baller bounces off the ropes, but Byrne catches him with a spinebuster slam. Baller is down on the mat and Byrne stands above his opponent, playfully kicking the body of Baller. With the fans already booing Byrne, he adds more fuel to the fire and he spits on the fallen Baller. This does not sit well with TGO and he tries to get into the ring. However, the referee restrains TGO and Byrne starts to insult KB’s partner and taunts him since he cant save KB from him.

JR: “Oh will you just LOOK at that shameful display being done by Byrne.”

Byrne picks up Baller by the head, but Baller starts to fight back yet again. With a number of punches in the gut of Byrne, Baller gets free from his grasps and whips him towards the ropes. On Byrne’s way back, he is met by a jumping sidekick from KB. Byrne gets to his feet and he gets hit by a dropkick that sends him backing towards the corner. KB goes over to the corner and climbs to the top. There, he starts to hammer away on Byrne as the fans count his punches. On the tenth punch, KB jumps down from the corner while Byrne falls face first onto the mat.

JR: “Byrne is down and Karl Baller is measuring him up for the chaos in heaven.”
RK: “Oh no! This doesn’t look good for the boston rocker, JR.”

Baller stalks Byrne on his way up and he connects with the Chaos from heaven. Byrne is sprawled on the mat and Baller hooks his leg for the count.

JR: “The finisher is hit and he goes for the pin 1…2..and Sutton breaks the count!”

Sutton pulls KB away from Byrne just in time and he starts to stomp down on him. TGO storms into the ring and smacks Sutton from behind. TGO and Sutton brawl inside the ring as the referee could just try and break them up. While the referee is busy handling the situation going on with Sutton and TGO, we see Starstorm jumping off the crowd barrier and enter the ring. KB turns around and he is met by a double kick to the midsection. Starstorm delivers the tides of darkness on KB and he is laid out on the ring. Starstorm gets out of the ring while the referee is still busy with TGO and Sutton, who are still brawling inside the ring. Sean Byrne, still a bit woozy from the finisher of KB, manages to get to his feet.

JR: “Starstorm got into that ring and attacked Baller.”
RK: “Well it WAS baller’s fault in the first place. He had to run his mouth on them earlier.”

With Baller still feeling the effects of the move, Byrne picks up KB and sets him up for his finishing move. Byrne connects with the revolving door effect and the thunderous move just shook the ring.

JR: “BAH GAWD!!! What an innovative move there by Byrne! The referee notices the pin being made…1…2…3! The match is over!”
RK: “I guess its really gonna be chaotic JR! Sutton and Byrne are going to Bloodbath.”

The bell rings and THII announces the decision.

TH: “The winners of this match as a result of pinfall…Tyler Sutton and Sean Byrne!!!”

“Ironman” By Black Sabbath plays throughout the speakers and Sean Byrne gets his arm raised in victory. Sutton and TGO break up their brawl as they notice Byrne getting the victory. TGO tends to his partner while Sutton joins in the celebration.

JR: “These two up and coming wrestlers scored an upset here tonight, King. Although they did get some help from Starstorm, I can see big things for Sutton and Byrne.”
RK: “You said it JR. They just made an impact here tonight. Folks, don’t go anywhere, Doubleshot will return right after the break.”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as Sutton and Byrne shake hands in the middle of the ring.

X-WCW Studios

We go to the X-WCW studios where we see Cole Ryan standing beside his guest, Divebomb.

CR: "Welcome back to the X-WCW studios! Well Bloodbath 3 is almost here and we got one of the participants in the 10-man chaos in the ring, Divebomb! Good evening Divebomb! Well first off, the final 8 spots of the match are being filled already. Aside from you having to face Ignavus, you now have Flash Stryker, Blaster, Sean Bryne and Tyler Sutton. What do you think of those 4 new additions to the match? Do they bother you at all and make you think twice that you may not win this thing?"

DB: "First of all, no one can make me doubt that I am going to win this thing. No one! But if it's opinions that you want then here you go. Stryker is good, but not good enough. I have beaten Blaster twice to get and keep my title. Sutton has potential, but it won't help him and I don't even know who the hell Sean Bryne is. So there you have it. Unless somebody with a bit of a chance gets tossed into this match. I won't have anything to worry about."

CR: "Last Warzone, Ignavus' music distracted you and cost you the match. Any thoughts on Ignavus' actions and him screwing you for the second straight time?"

DB: "You know, for a slacker he sure is putting in alot of effort to piss me off. I have tried to stay away from him. I have tried to let him be. But even a shot at the title might not be enough for me to stay away from him much longer. He is a pest and sooner or later I am going to get my hands on him. He had just better hope I can wait until Bloodbath."

CR: "Well in the main event, its gonna be Grandmaster E vs Otacon vs D-Extreme. If you win your 10-Man Chaos in the ring Match, who would YOU love to fight among the three to get the X-WCW UW title?"

DB: "Lets look at it this way. For fun I would like to fight D-Ex. Its always a good match with him. As for Otacon...I think it would be a great match. But the one above all else that I would love to step into the ring with would have to be Grandmaster E. Not only did I just get screwed out of a win over him but he is also the one that took my title from me. So it would be him."

CR: “Thank you for your time Divebomb. Lets take you back to the ringside for the next match!”

Ignavus vs

We go to ringside and we see Ignavus already standing in the ring while Terri Hotbody II enters the ring with a mic.

TH: “The following match is scheduled for one fall. Already in the ring, from Simsbury CT…IGNAVUS!!!”

The fans give Ignavus a loud ovation of cheers as the slacker lazily leans on the ring ropes behind him.

TH: “And his opponent, he is a recent addition to the 10-Man Chaos In The Ring match at Bloodbath 3…”

“Headache” by Dark Lotus hits the speakers and Seith Helloct enters the ringside area.

TH: “Weighing in at 198 pounds, he resides in Pensacola Florida. SEITH HELLOCT!!!”

Seith draws a mixed response from the crowd on his way to the ring.

JR: “This kid is a newcomer here in the X-WCW, King. Although I have seen a couple of his tryout matches earlier this year.”
RK: “The kid’s got a nice sense inside the ring. He just needs a little more knowledge about the basics though since I know this guy would rather use weapons than submission holds.”
JR: “How did you know that?”
RK: “Who did you think beat up Fresh Prince in an alleyway after he got kicked out of X-WCW security for trying to enter the arena at the last Warzone tapings? ME? Nah..I paid this guy and handed him a steel pipe too. In return, he gets into the good graces of Chris Back and enters the PPV match. Its all good I guess. Anyone who beats up FP deserves a treatment like that.”

Helloct enters the ring and just stands there glaring at his opponent. The almightily slacker continues leaning on the ropes, not minding the intimidating glare of his opponent.

RK: “Ignavus doesn’t know the impending danger he is about to face, JR. This Seith guy is one hell of a brawler.”
JR: “Well we will find out if Ignavus will show this rookie of the things that will come at the PPV.”

The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring as ordered by the referee. Both men circle around before they lock up. Ignavus goes behind Seith and tries for a quick German Suplex but Seith hits an elbow to Igz’s face. Seith does a standing switch and goes behind Ignavus. While he is behind the slacker, Seith punishes his opponent with a couple of forearm smashes to the back of the head before lets go and bounces off the ropes for a bulldog.

JR: “Seith Helloct quickly takes Ignavus down the mat! Seith picks up Ignavus, but he gets hit by a hard European uppercut to the chin. The newcomer staggers back and Ignavus takes him down with a running leg lariat.”

Ignavus waits for Seith Helloct to get up before he hits him with a couple of punches to the face. He whips Seith into the ropes and catches him with a back body drop. Seith gets to his feet and charges at Igz but Igz scores a dropkick to Seith, taking him down again. Ignavus waits for Seith to get up before he scores a shinning wizard kick to the newcomer.

JR: “Seith is down and Ignavus goes for the pin 1..2..NO! Seith kicks out of the pinfall attempt.”

Seith gets up and ducks a clothesline from Ignavus. Once Ignavus turns around, Seith kicks him right in the jaw with a superkick. The kick sends Ignavus staggering into the nearby corner and Seith Helloct charges there. Seith goes for a corner splash, but Ignavus gets out of the way before it connects. Seith stumbles backwards before Ignavus schoolboys him for another pinfall attempt. However, Seith kicks out before the count of three.

RK: “Another close call there by Seith. For a guy who can beat up someone..he is getting beat up..by accident. Seith has a LOT to learn after this match, JR. That, I know for sure.”

Both men get up and Ignavus runs towards Seith, only to get hiptossed. Ignavus gets up and Seith greets him with a couple of hard forearms to the face. Seith scoops Ignavus up and takes him down with a bodyslam. Ignavus is on the canvas and Seith makes his way up to the top rope. Helloct launches himself from the top and he connects with a flying leg drop on Ignavus. He pins the slacker for the victory..

JR: “The pinfall is made 1…2..and Ignavus gets a shoulder up!”

Seith picks up Ignavus, only to get rolled up in an inside cradle. The referee counts, but Seith kicks out at two. Both men are up yet again and Ignavus ducks an incoming clothesline from Seith before he takes his opponent down with a back suplex. With Seith getting to his feet, Ignavus charges at his opponent and takes him down with a running enzugiri. Ignavus picks Seith up and tries to whip him into a corner. However, Seith reverses the momentum and sends Ignavus instead. Seith follows him into the corner, but he is met by a back elbow to the face. Ignavus grabs Seith and catapults him face first into the turnbuckle before he goes behind him and scores with a german suplex.

JR: “Ignavus delivers a german suplex on Seith Helloct.”
RK: “After that turnbuckle hit Seith’s head, I think he is on dream street now, JR.”

With Seith down on the mat, Ignavus makes his way to the top rope and yawns. After the usual yawn, he launches himself from the top and connects with the 4AM Flyer.

JR: “FOUR AM FLYER!!! Bah gawd what an impact! Ignavus pins Seith Helloct 1…2…3! Its over folks.”
RK: “Ignavus just made a statement tonight, JR. That statement is..he is just TOO LAZY to give a damn who the other guys in the 10 Man Chaos In The Ring match are. Too bad Seith lost tonight, he had the momentum for an upset victory here, but he couldn’t capitalize.”

“Clint Eastwood” hits the speakers as the referee raises Ignavus’ arm in victory.

TH: “The winner as a result of pinfall..IGNAVUS!!!”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break while Ignavus continues his celebration in the ring.

Backstage

We see The Reaper entering the locker room of Triple C and CCC is there, ready to leave the building. CCC looks at the Reaper and snarls.

CCC: “What the hell do YOU want? Wanna fight me again you masked maniac?”

Reaper just laughs it off before he approaches CCC and pats him on the shoulder.

Reaper: “Fight? Oh no, I don’t want to FIGHT you. Infact, I got a proposition for you. You see, I’ve just been informed that I am replacing someone in the 10 Man Chaos In The Ring match at the PPV.”

CCC: “And your point is?”

Reaper: “I saw your name there as well…I was thinking that we should team up together and eliminate the other 8 fools. So when it comes down to the two of us…THEN we can fight and see who is the better man. Just THINK about that for a while Crevious.”

CCC: “You know what, that’s not a bad idea.”

Reaper: “Hehehe..of course its NOT!”

Reaper heads out of the locker room while Triple C packs up and leaves as well.

X-WCW TV Championship
Big Mitch Barker vs Big Dog(c)

”Get Back” by Ludacris hits the speakers and we see Mitch Barker entering the ringside area.

TH: “The following X-WCW TV title match is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, weighing in at 288 pounds…BIG MITCH BARKER!!!”

Barker makes his way to the aisle with a mixed reaction from the crowd. He enters the ring and makes his way up the corner. Once up, he starts to bark at the audience who are either booing him or cheering the obnoxious wrestler.

JR: “Welcome back to doubleshot! Right now we got the main event of the evening here.”
RK: “This is gonna be huge, JR. I tell you what, it’s the battle of the dogs here tonight.”

Barker climbs down the corner and waits for his opponent. “Unsung” by Helmet plays throughout the arena and Big Dog makes an appearance with the X-WCW TV title on his waist.

TH: “And his opponent, he is the X-WCW Television champion…BIG DOG!!!”

The crowd just gives it to the TV champ on his way down the walkway and gives him the loudest boos ever heard in the night.

JR: “These fans certainly do not like Big Dog. To be honest, King, Big Dog is not one of the X-WCW’s best loved superstars.”
RK: “Big Dog is like our former wrestler here, R.E. Rage. These fans here just hate them since they know they can never be as GOOD as Big Dog. Big Dog knows that fact and he is not afraid to acknowledge it.”

Big Dog slides into the ring and takes out his belt. While he stands in the middle of the ring, he raises his belt high into the air and looks at Barker with a smirk. On the corner, Barker just eyes Big Dog and does a little snarling while his opponent continues his arrogant display by raising his X-WCW TV title proudly in the air. The music cuts and Big Dog hands the belt to the referee.

JR: “This match is almost underway, King, I just cant wait.”
RK: “Neither can I, JR. These two men haven’t fought each other here in the X-WCW. Its gonna be interesting how their styles can mesh inside that ring.”

The bell rings and both men go to the center of the ring. Big Dog extends his hand at Barker for him to shake it. However, Barker just looks at the hand and starts to sniff it. The dumbfounded X-WCW TV champ does not know what to make of what Barker is doing right now, so he just pulls the hand away and just tells Barker that they should just lock up. Barker complies and both men do a collar-elbow tie up in the ring. Big Dog gets the early advantage after he delivers a couple of knee strikes to the gut of Barker. Barker gets locked in an arm wringer, but Barker reverses the submission hold and goes behind Big Dog. Barker quickly lets go of the hold, but he applies a sleeper hold while he is behind the TV champ. After a few seconds of struggling, Big Dog strikes Barker in the mid-area with a couple of hard elbows. Barker lets go of Big Dog and BD delivers a European uppercut that sends Barker reeling.

JR: “Big Dog connects with that uppercut on the challenger and he has him backing now. Big Dog charges at Barker for a clothesline, but Barker gets out of the way and takes him down with a drop toe hold.”

Big Dog gets to his feet, but Barker is there to deliver some hard clubs to the back of his opponent. Barker scoops BD up for a bodyslam, but Big Dog wriggles away from his grasps and lands behind him. Barker turns around and is met by a hard slap in the face. The slap infuriates Barker and he takes Big Dog down with a double leg takedown before he mounts over the TV champ and hammers away on his face.

RK: “That slap sure did tick Barker off, JR.”
JR: “I know King. Right now, he has Big Dog on the mat taking every hard punch he deserves.”

The referee breaks it up and restrains Barker for a while. Big Dog manages to get to his feet and Barker goes behind him. Barker locks his arms around the waist of Big Dog before he delivers the waistlock takedown. With Big Dog on the mat, Barker switches to a side headlock to keep Big Dog grounded. Big Dog slowly gets to his feet and delivers a couple of elbow strikes to Barker. Big Dog sends Barker into the ropes, but he is met by a shoulder block. Big Dog gets to his feet and Barker kicks him right on the gut.

JR: “Barker kicks Big Dog and he delivers a bodyslam.”

Big Dog gets to his feet, but Barker again delivers a bodyslam on the TV champ. With Big Dog on the mat, Barker bounces off the ropes and tries to deliver a running leg drop. To his dismay, Big Dog rolls out of the way and Barker just hits the canvas.

RK: “I dont think Barker was thinking about the repercussions of that move, JR. Then again, I don’t even think Barker would use his head to think about…anything at all.”
JR: “Big Dog waits for Barker to stand up and he clocks him hard with a left hand to the face. Barker is on spaghetti legs right now and Big Dog delivers a vertical suplex.”

With Barker down, Big Dog positions himself onto the corner. He waits for Barker to get up before he charges him down for the gore. However, instead of hitting Barker, Big Dog goes the referee off his feet. Sid Greene gets knocked out in the middle of the ring while Big Dog gets to his feet. Big Dog is met by a hard headbutt from Barker. This sends Big Dog reeling into the ring ropes and eventually slipping to the outside of the ring. While Big Dog is outside the ring, he quietly reaches in the ring apron to pull out something.

JR: “Big Dog is pulling out something there in the ring apron, King. Barker doesn’t realize what is goin on right now cause he thinks Big Dog is just laying down on the outside of the ring.”
RK: “That’s strategy by Big Dog. Barker is making a costly mistake right now of being ignorant of his opponent’s motives, JR.”

Barker waits for Big Dog to roll back into the ring and approaches him. However, Barker stops his tracks as Big Dog rolls into the ring holding a chain. With chain in hand, Big Dog confidently runs towards Barker and looks to smack him over the head with it. Barker avoids the contact with a well placed boot to the gut. Big Dog drops the chain and Barker picks it up. Barker wraps the chain around his wrist.

JR: “Some big time karma is coming up for Big Dog right now!!!”

Big Dog gets clocked hard on the head with the chain wrapped fist of Barker and he falls down to the mat. With the fans roaring in approval, Barker starts to bark around the ring. Mitch Barker stops his celebration after he hears the bell. He looks behind him and he sees the referee already conscious and was the one responsible for stopping the match.

RK: “I told you JR, it was costly for Barker to be ignorant in this match. Look what happened, he didn’t see that the referee was already up when he hit Big Dog with the chain. Oh well, I guess idiots like Barker cant know something about being aware in the ring.”
JR: “That is just harsh, King. But nevertheless, you are correct..it did cost Barker this match.”

TH II gets the mic and announces the outcome of the match.

TH: “The winner as a result of the disqualification and STILL X-WCW Television champion…..BIG DOG!!!”

Big Dog’s song hits and the referee hands the unconcious Big Dog his X-WCW TV title belt. Barker grabs the referee and starts to argue with him about his decision.

RK: “Poor clueless putz, he thought he could have gotten away with the chain hit. Well, he didn’t so that’s tough luck for him.”

Big Dog slowly gets to his feet and shouts at Barker. After getting Barker’s attention, he shows the X-WCW TV title at his challenger and taunts him with it. Enraged by this show of disrespect, Barker shoves the referee aside and makes a run for it at Big Dog. Before BD could get out of the way, he gets tackled to the mat by Barker and both men start to brawl in the ring. A couple of security personel enter the ringside area to break up the fight.

JR: “Big Dog’s taunting just made Barker angry, King. They are now brawling in the ring while the security are trying hard to break them up.”

Eventually, the security breaks up the fight and separates the two combatants. Chris Back’s music hits the PA System and he comes out to the ringside area with a mic.

CB: “It seems like you two want a piece of each other huh? Well guys, I got news for you. At Bloodbath 3, its gonna be a TV title match between Big Dog and Mitch Barker..in a DOG COLLAR MATCH!!!”

The fans pop after CB makes his announcement. Inside the ring we see both men staring down the other on opposite sides of the ring while they are being restrained by the security.

JR: “Did you hear that King? Its gonna be a dog collar match for the X-WCW Television Title!”
RK: “I cant wait to see that match, JR. I guess Barker will be in familiar territory wearing a weird dog collar around his neck. The difference here now is, both of them will be tied together.”
JR: “Well lets go back to the X-WCW Studios with Cole Ryan!!!”

After all the blood and gore in this main event..will we see a NEW champ? Or will Grandmaster E conquer the odds yet again and retain his X-WCW UW Title?”

We see Cole Ryan facing the camera before he continues.

CR: “Bloodbath 3 will be live in the HOUSTON ASTRODOME!!! Tickets have been sold out since last month..but you can order the live webcast right here on x-wcw.com. Lets go back to ringside with JR and The King.”

The cameras fade to black before we go back to ringside.

Ringside

The cameras go back to ringside as we see the two announcers.

JR: “Well that wraps it up for this program folks. Thank you for tuning in this special pre-ppv show called doubleshot. For Randal King, this is James Russell saying good…”

Before JR could finish, the pyros explode and “superstar” fills up the PA systems. Otacon comes out to the ringside area to a loud chorus of boos. Otacon is seen wearing his new black “Con Man” t-shirt and he is holding a 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire.

JR: “What the hell is he doing here?! We are going off the air already!!!”
RK: “With THAT on his hands, I guess he can do whatever the hell he wants, JR.”

Otacon makes his way towards the ring while he continues to receive a lot of heel heat. He rolls into the ring and taunts the crowd before he snatches the mic from the ring announcer.

OC: “The reason why I’m here tonight in this ring is that I want to tell you all about the PPV. First of all its gonna be a No Rope, Barbed-Wire Triple Cage X-Rules Match. Now basically, that means I gotta get the belt and make my way outta the damn cages. Well let me tell you idiots what, that’s just a simple for me as making those two bleed!”

Otacon has a smirk on his face and he soaks in the boos he is receiving from the Houston fans.

OC: “On Bloodbath, I will show you ALL that I am championship material here in the X-WCW. This year, I have been keeping my promises to you all. I MIGHT be a ‘con man’ here in the X-WCW folks, but I keep my word. I told you all this year that I will make people bleed, and I did just that. Flash Stryker, Reno Raynes…and even you, champ, I made them all bleed! I swept the ring with their own blood. I smeared them over my chest in victory, and at bloodbath 3, I will continue my mean streak of making people bleed by busting D-Ex and GE open. Such a nice name for the pay per view, don’t you think so guys? Cause on that night, not only will I make them bleed, I will get the title as well.”

Otacon laughs before he continues his speech.

OC: “You people think its gonna be hard for me to beat D-Extreme?!”

The fans give a mixed reaction to D-Ex’s name before he continues to speak.

OC: “That guy doesn’t even keep himself sober for his own good! There is a REASON why he I just the assistant leader and NOT the head of the nTo, he aint that smart. I mean, he might be the dumbest block of wood that stupid faction has! The only reason your there, D-Ex, is that your just kissing Chris Back’s rear end. Your wrestling skills, HAH! Wait a tick, WHAT wrestling skills? The only think you know is to grab a weapon and use it. I guess the only advantage you got over me is that you can grab anything in the cage and TRY…yes…try to beat us senseless with it. But you see, I got some sense right here *points at his head* and I’m just smart enough to get one over you in that triple cage. You may be in your element here D, but that’s not gonna save you from the con man.”

Otacon looks at the camera and smirks before he speaks again.

OC: “Grandmaster E, the odds ARE stacked against you. And don’t even THINK you will overcome them. As far as you are concerned, you DO have some wrestling skills better than D-Ex, but that’s still is not enough. You may be the champion TODAY, but not TOMORROW! You see boy, your time is almost up. The last time you will hold that belt of your is hours before the PPV itself. So I tell you now, you better cherish every last moment of your belt, cause its gonna have a new owner once this match is done.”

Otacon leans on the ropes and looks at the stage.

Otacon: “Face it D and E, you two are old news here in the X-WCW UW title picture. Otacon, however, is the IT thing these days. I am the best damn wrestler in the X-WCW today! Its not Bonito, not C-Back or even Divebomb. Its ME! You two losers have no chance in hell to beat me on bloodbath 3 so keep on dreaming. Its time for a new era in the X-WCW, the CON MAN ERA!!!”

The fans boo as Otacon poses in the ring before he motions for the title. Just as he leaves the ring, “medals remix” plays and TB makes his way out to the ringside area.

RK: “Look JR! Bonito is here!!!”

The fans start to chant “nito, sucks” at TB as he enters the ring. He goes nose to nose with otacon before he snatches the mic from him and speaks.

TB: “Now just a second here bucko! Even though I am not in that title picture, I have something to tell you. It aint Otacon who is the best here in the X-WCW….its ME! Oh its true, it is DAMN TRUE!!!”

Otacon snickers before he grabs the mic away from TB and backs off.

OC: “Oh, and so please, explain to me HOW I am the X-WCW UW contender and your NOT!”

TB glares at Otacon before he shakes his head and grabs the mic from Otacon.

TB: “Cause your..one…LUCKY sunovabitch!”

Otacon smirks at TB while TB reluctantly gives the mic to Otacon for a rebuttal.

OC: “Oh..lucky huh Ton-“

Before Otacon could respond, Bonito spears him to the mat and they start a brawl.

JR: “Bah gawd! Bonito and Otacon are trading blows right now inside that ring.”

Both men get to their feet and continue the heated exchange of punches while the crowd cheers on. While they are busy with each other, we see D-Extreme, Starstorm and Josh Leyh entering the ringside area.

RK: “Here come the nTo, JR! Now its time for some dominance!!!”

The four nTo members enter the ring and attack both Bonito and Otacon. D-Extreme and Josh Leyh take down Otacon while Starstorm restrains Bonito. On stage, Chris Back has a smirk on his face while he slowly makes his way towards the ring. The fans start to boo while the nTo have the advantage over Otacon and Bonito in the ring. CB enters the ring and taunts Bonito while Starstorm still has him restraint.

JR: “Back is such a classy guy, King. Just look at him in that ring, he is just teasing Bonito right now.”

CB laughs at Bonito before he gives him a hard slap in the face. Before he could do anything else, we see The Prez and The Thrillaz storming into the ring. The Thrillaz attack Starstorm and this gives Bonito the opportunity to pounce on Chris Back and attack him. The Thrillaz take Starstorm out of the ring and they follow them there to continue their brawl. On the other side of the ring, we see The Prez spinning Josh Leyh and hitting him with the Veto.

JR: “VETO ON LEYH!!!”

With Leyh down and being stomped on, D-Ex takes the initiative and spins The Prez around for a hard kick in the gut. With The Prez feeling a bit groggy, D-Ex takes him out with the X-Ocution.

RK: “X-Ocution on D-Ex!!!”

D-Ex grins for a while before he turns around and gets hit by Otacon with the final impact.”

JR: “…and a FINAL IMPACT on D-Extreme!!!”

Inside the ring, Bonito and CB are fighting in one corner while Otacon stomps down on D-Ex, before D-Ex rolls to the outside of the ring. With all the action going down on ringside, the lights go out for a while.

RK: “WHOA! Who the hell turned off the lights?!”

“Without Me” plays throughout the speakers and the lights come out. Inside the ring, we see the X-WCW UW champ with a grin on his face. The fans give out a huge pop as he takes off his hood and charges at CB and TB.

JR: “GRANDMASTER E!!!! BAH GAWD!!! THE CHAMP HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING!!!”

TB and CB notice GME making his way towards them and charge at him. CB tries to punch GME but GME blocks it and takes him down with a hard right punch. GME goes for a clothesline at Bonito, but Bonito ducks down and comes behind the champ. TB goes for the Nitoplex, but GME lands behind him and kicks him hard before delivering the master blaster.

JR: “MASTER BLASTER ON BONITO!!!”
RK: “Oh crap!!!”

Bonito rolls out of the ring and outside, we see the two teams of starstorm and the thrillaz now taking their fight into the crowd. Inside the ring, we see Otacon leaning on the nearby corner as he watches GME gets hit from behind by CB. CB has GME on his grasps for the crackdown, but to everyone’s surprise, Otacon takes him down with a clothesline.

JR: “What in the hell?!”
RK: “Otacon just helped Grandmaster E against CB?!”
JR: “I guess Otacon hates CB more than he hates the champ. Either that, or he has something up his sleeve.”

He picks up CB and takes him out with the final impact. CB is laid out in the ring while Otacon waits for Grandmaster E to get to a vertical base. GME gets up and he slowly turns around to see Otacon. Outside the ring, we see D-Extreme already on his feet and he enters back into the ring.

JR: “I don’t like the looks of this, King. D-Extreme is back in the ring, and I think these three men will go at it here right now.”
RK: “Its gonna be an explosive situation on bloodbath 3, JR. Right now, we are seeing a preview of that.”

All three men are in the center of the ring staring each other off while the fans go wild.

JR: “Well we are REALLY out of time right now…so for Randal King, I am James Russell..goodnight!”

X-WCW goes off the air with GME, D-Ex and Otacon still in the ring and STILL staring down their opponents for the PPV.
