79) X-WCW Nitro #18

[Cyberstrike]

Vendetta 3…

We go on air to see a brief video package of the main event of the PPV. Igz gets up and as Otacon tries to kick him in the gut to set up for his Final Impact finisher Igz shoves off chest first into the turnbuckle and then as Otacon staggers out of the corner Igz runs over jumps on to the top ropes and kicks Otacon with a Shining Wizard kick!

JR: "That's a modified version of The Dole-drum! Igz hooks the far leg and goes for the pin."
RK: "1..2..3! He's done it!"

THII: "THE WINNER AND NEW X-WCW WORLD CHAMPION 'THE SLACKER KING' JOSH IGNAVUS!"

The scene ends as Ignavus gets his hand raised in victory while he clutches the belt on his other arm.
***

After the usual opening video montage, the fireworks set off on stage. Soon enough, we cut into the announce table where we see James Russell and Randal King.

JR: “WELCOME TO X-WCW NITRO!!! Tonight, we are here live from the Toyota Center in Houston Texas.”
RK: “Well JR, as they say, everything here is BIG in Texas. Tonight, you can bet your bottom dollar that it WILL be one big event here in the ringside area.”

“Immortal” hits the speakers as Chris Back is joined by the nTo. The fans give them a negative reaction as they make their way down the ramp. CB and the rest of the nTo members hit the ring and CB picks up the mic in the middle of the ring. He waits for the music to fade out before he begins his speech.

CB: “On Vendettta 3, the nTo stood tall against all its competition.”

CB raises his arm in the air as he hears out the boos coming from the crowd. He pulls down his arm from the air and continues to speak.

CB: “Not only did I retain my X-WCW Intercontinental title, but TRD here got the X-WCW TV title!”

He pointed at TRD, who has the TV title on his shoulder. He pats the belt before the camera pans back to CB.

CB: “If that wasn’t enough, Starstorm got the X-WCW Tag Team titles on the same night!”

Alec Lightstar and Raven Darkstorm both raise their belts in the air, to the crowd’s disapproval. CB has a smirk on his face and starts to speak yet again.

CB: “You know, on that night, the nTo SHOULD have been celebrating cause we had ALL the titles we needed to show you all that we rule the wrestling world. However, one Olympic piece of S*** didn’t want that and screwed with our plans. Tony Bonito’s sneak attack on my friend, D-Extreme took a huge piece of the nTo away from us. You see, that attack has put my dear friend on the shelf and Bonito, I hope your watching me right now as I tell you this…YOU ARE A DEAD MAN!”

CB fumes up before he takes a couple of deep breaths to keep his composure. He continues to talk on the mic.

CB: “Since D-Ex won the X-WCW US title, and then got hurt, the title will be declared vacant. TGO is the slated no. 1 contender for the title, but that leaves a spot empty for the X-WCW US title match. So tonight, we need to fill up that spot. On Nitro 18, we will see a four man elimination match for the #2 contendership for the US title.”

The fans cheer for that announcement.

RK: “OH BOY! Did you hear that JR?!”
JR: “I sure did, its gonna be on great match up to find out who will face TGO for the vacated US title.”

Before CB could say anything, “Superstar” hits the speakers and Otacon comes storming down the rampway. He slides into the ring and grabs the mic from CB.

Otacon: “Back, I know you don’t like me and I don’t like you but you gotta listen to me right now. On Vendetta 3, Ignavus robbed me of my title and tonight, I WANT to get it back! Since you made a match for the US title, how about put a X-WCW UW title match tonight?!”

CB snatches the mic back from Otacon and speaks.

CB: “Just who the hell do you think you ar..”

CB gets interrupted as GME’s music blares through the speakers this time. He stands on the stage with a mic of his own and speaks.

GME: “Now just wait a minute here, I felt that I deserve a title shot MORE than that pathetic loser who is in that ring right now. Hey Con Man, let me ask you this, how fast was that match with you and igz again? I mean, c’mon! That was like a minute or less.”

Inside the ring, Otacon looks furious and points at GME. He mouths off a couple of things before we hear CB yet again.

CB: “You know what, I am just about fed up with this crap with you two. So tonight, I got a solution for both of your problems. Both of you will face the X-WCW champion Ignavus in a non-title three-way match. The winner will face Ignavus on Warzone #30, but if Ignavus wins, he doesn’t have to defend his title until the X-Rumble. Now is that a deal?”

On the stage, GME nods and speaks.

GME: “You got my approval chief, that’s all I needed to hear.”

With that, GME leaves the stage and disappears from ringside. Back at the ring, we see Otacon nod. Soon enough, the con man turns around and exits the ring.

JR: “Well King, we got one interesting main event tonight huh?”
RK: “Its going to be three men in that ring. If either GME or Otacon wins, they get a shot. But if the champ wins, he doesn’t need to defend his title until the next PPV. What I see here, JR, is that the champ got his back against the wall.”

Once both men leave, Chris Back speaks yet again.

CB: “Well since the PPV also left me with NO clear #1 contender for Starstorm’s tag team title, we will have a first ever double 4 tag team tournament. The first batch of teams will be competing tonight while the next batch will face off on Warzone. Now with that settled, its time to leave this joint before things get worse.”

“Immortal” plays and the nTo leave the arena floor.

JR: “Well folks, we will take a break, but stay tuned for more X-WCW Nitro.”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as the nTo make their way up the ramp.
Backstage

We see Ignavus on his locker room, watching some television while he downs a pint of hagen daz. He hears some knocking on the door and he attempts to pull himself out from his couch. However, he fails after he slumps back down again. He tries yet again, but the same result happens for the second time. He shrugs and just calls out to the man outside.

Igz: "Yo..just open the door, its not locked"

Cole Ryan barges in and he approaches Ignavus on the couch.

CR: "We are here backstage with the X-WCW UW champion, Ignavus. Igz, how does it feel to be champ after vendetta 3?"

Igz: "I'm the champ?"

CR: "Well, yes you are. Thats the belt right there!"

He points toward the belt that hung on top of the TV.

Igz: "ER....really? I thought it was just an x-mas present Chris gave to me after the show. But oh heck, that feels great baby!"

CR: "So tonight, you will fight two men who were former X-WCW UW champs. Who do you think would be a tougher challenger?"

Igz: "My couch..."

CR: "Your couch?!"

Igz: "It keeps me down...I cant get up.."

CR: "You tell us that a couch is harder than GME or Otacon?"

Igz: "No..its..softer. But Cole, can I ask ya somethin?"

CR: "Sure."

Igz: "I cant get up from my couch...I think I got that injury hogan got. Can you pull me up?"

The scene fades as Cole Ryan slaps his own forehead and shakes his head in shame. CR and a crew man try their best to pull the champ up from the couch as we go back to ringside.

X-WCW TV Championship
Sean Byrne vs TRD (c)

THII: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is singles match scheduled for one fall and it is for the X-WCW Television championship! It will be under a 30-minute time limit. Introducing the challenger…”

*“Ironman” by Blacksmith hits the speakers and Sean Byrne comes out to a great face pop. He raises both of his hands and makes the title gesture around his waist then runs down the ramp way. He slides into the ring after Terri makes the announcement.*

THII: “From Boston MA, standing 6’2 and weighing in today at 265 lbs…..‘The Boston Rocker’ SEAAAAAAN BYYYYYRNE!!!!!”

RK: “You know what JR, this kid does NOT deserve a shot at the X-WCW T.V. championship! It doesn’t matter though, The Real Deal will murder him!”
JR: “Jesus Christ Randall, what is it with you and the N.T.O. Oh yeah, never mind…”

*All of a sudden, the letters “N.T.O” are heard on the loud speaker followed by “Unleashed” by Saliva. The fans begin sending some angry boo’s at the T.V. champion. TRD comes right out of the curtains happy as ever, the TV title draped across his shoulder as he strolls down the ramp.*

RK: “There he is King, the future of the X-WCW. The Real Deal, I am so proud to have a champion of his caliber.”

THII: “And the opponent, from Music City, USA, standing 7’0 and weighing in at 300 lbs…he is the X-WCW TV CHAMPION…THEE REAAAAL DEEEAAAAAAL!!!!”

*TRD takes his time before he gets in front of the ring. He climbs into it and points at his smaller opponent basically laughing at the challenger as he removes his belt off of his shoulder. The referee takes it and the bell rings.*

JR: “Here we go King.”

*The champion rushes the challenger and goes for a Test style running big boot. Sean Byrne easily ducks it and sends a chop block into the knee causing TRD to land into a painful split. Sean roles up and hits the ropes, then comes back with a running front drop kick on TRD’s temple. The hard hitting maneuver takes TRD down quick and Sean Byrne tries to end the match early with a pin.*

JR: “1…tw-early kick out by TRD. The NTO’S resident hoss won’t lose that easy.”
RK: “No joke King. Actually, he won’t lose at all.

*Bryne allows TRD to sit up and sends a hard kick to the back of his head that sends him back down. He then applies a ground headlock trying to keep TRD on the ground. TRD starts to get up in about 12 seconds, but Byrne takes him back down with a headlock-takedown. TRD screams as Byrne continues to keep the big man down.*

JR: “Byrne is being smart here, he is keeping the car’s tires flat. If he keeps this up, TRD won’t be able to mount any offense.”
RK: “Argggh, get up Real Deal.”

*After about 2 more minutes in the submission hold, TRD has finally gotten to his feet. He picks up Sean Byrne for a back suplex, but SB back flips out of it and lands behind TRD. Byrne then hops on TRD’s massive back and locks in a sleeper hold. TRD tries to shimmy him off, but Sean Byrne holds on to all his heart can desire. Finally, TRD uses his brain and falls on his back, crushing Sean behind him. Sean’s arms release from TRD’s the neck and go onto his own back as he rubs it and tries to stop the pain.*

*The champion gets on his two feet and shakes the cobwebs from the beating he received earlier, then looks at Sean Byrne with an angry look. He grabs Byrne by the throat with both hands and hoists him up in the air. He then throws him into the nearest turnbuckle and starts sending a variety of punches to the gut. They are not that fast, but the fists to the gut are from a 300 pounder…they don’t really need to be fast. After about the 10th punch to the gut, TRD picks him up in a body slam kind of position and drops the side of Byrne’s ribs on his knee, but he holds on. He does this about two more times before finishing it off with a gut buster!*

RK: “BOOM! I told ya JR, now this poor sap is going to get mangled.”

*TRD attempts a pin, but Sean Byrne gets a shoulder up. The crowd tries to rally Sean Byrne back on the offensive side with a “Boston Rooocker” chant. TRD starts getting stupid and mocks the people, he then picks Byrne up by his hair and takes him back down with a vicious clothesline. He helps him back up and repeats the same move. TRD laughs at the fallen Sean Byrne and picks him up one last time. He attempts the clothesline again, but this time SB reverses it by ducking and using a crucifix pin!.*

JR: “1…2…thr- bah gawd a kick out! Sean Byrne almost re-won his TV title with a surprise pin there King!”

*Byrne gets up and ducks an elbow attack to the forehead. He then climbs up on TRD’s back, scales onto his shoulders and attempts a victory roll pin. TRD kicks out quickly at two and both superstars get back on their feet. TRD goes for another clothesline, but Byrne ducks it, turns around while TRD faces his way and takes the turning TRD down with a spinning haymaker. Byrne then lets TRD get on his feet and takes him down with a John Cena style throwback.*

*Just then, Byrne signals for the end. The fans chant “NEW T.V.” over and over; it brings a smile to the challengers face as he helps the big guy up to his feet. Byrne sends a couple fists to the jaw, and then attempts a Final Cutter, only TRD throws him across the ring! TRD waits for Byrne to get up and sends him to the ropes, he attempts the Cut A Deal, but Byrne pushes him off. He turns around and gets hit with Byrnes tribute to DDP, the “Final Cutter”.*

JR: “BAH GAWD, FINAL CUTTER FROM SEAN BYRNE!! 1…2…3, NEW TV CHAMPION!”
RK: “NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

*“Iron Man” by Blacksmith hits the speakers and Sean Byrne stands up with a big smirk on his face. He has re-won the title he lost at Vendetta 3. The referee hands Byrne the title and he raises it in the air to a large face pop.*

THII: “The winner of this bout, and NEWWW X-WCW TV CHAMPION…SEAAAAN BYYYYYYYYRNE!!!!”

*SB leaves the ring and shakes hands with his fans as he leaves the arena. The cameraman heads over to the announcer table to look at the commentators.*

JR: “Well King, looks like Sean Byrne did deserve the title.”
RK: “…………..”
JR: “Anyway, more action for ya soon!”

***Commercial Break***

We see a footage of a dark room. Inside the room, we see two figures that lurk beneath the shadows. These two figures resemble one large man and one medium sized man. The larger man lights up a match and puts it on a candle for the light to reveal both of them wore masks. The medium sized man starts to speak.

Man1: “There, there. Don’t feel so frightened at the sight of two men who seems to have lost their minds and wear masks. For truth be told…we will do no one no harm. *slight laughter*”

Man2: “The only ones, however, who will be harmed, will be the foolish men who step into the ring with us.”

Man1: “They will experience the worst physical and mental torture they will encounter of their miserable lives.”

Man2: “They will be broken down into the ring in half, just like a thin stick.”

Man1: “We are the Stix brothers…and X-WCW…*screeches* YOU WILL HAVE TO RUN AND HIDE FROM THE TERROR WHICH IS US!!!”

The scene fades as the larger man flexes his muscles while he roars as the other man laughs hysterically.

**********************

Double 4 Tournament Block 1
Four Team Elimination Match
The Lost Boys vs Devil's Rejects vs Misled Youth vs NC-17

THII: “Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the 1st block of the Double 4 Team Elimination Tournament. The rules are simple, 4 teams of 2 will enter the ring and a member from each team will compete at the same time under four-way elimination rules. You may ONLY tag out to your partner, and the last team that hasn’t been eliminated will be the winner!! This match has a 30-minute time limit. Introducing first…”

“Master Of Puppets” hits the speakers and the crowd starts jeering right away. The former X-WCW tag team champions, Casus “Crimson” Crevious and The Reaper walk out of the curtains side by side. Both have an angry look on their faces as they walk down the ramp.

THII: “From MT. Olympus, standing 6’10 and weighing in at 298 lbs…Casus “Crimson” Crevious!!!! And his partner, from parts unknown, standing 6’2 and weighing in at 255 lbs….The Reaper! THEEE DEVVVVIIIIILLLLLS REEEEEJECCCTS!!!!!!!!”

JR: “Well King, here are the former X-WCW tag team champions. Even though I do not like the way these two operate, they were indeed screwed out of the X-WCW tag titles at Vendetta and everyone knows it! They entered the cage first and..”
RK: “And got their devilish butts whooped by Starstorm. They are no match for the NTO JR and you know it.”
JR: “Stop kissing ass Randal. As I was saying before being interrupted, Starstorm stayed outside of the cage and watched The Devils Rejects go through hell and back. Then, when they outlasted everyone else, they cowardly entered the cage and picked up the scraps. Now, these two behemoths want revenge and bah gawd they should.”

“Be My Frankenstein” then hits the speakers and The Lost Boys make their X-WCW debut.

THII: “And their first opponents, from parts unknown, both standing 6’10 and evenly weighing in at 350 lbs….Mark and Mike Daniels, THE LOOOOSTTT BOOOOYS!!!!!”

RK: “GOOD LORD, LOOK AT THOSE BEHMOTHS!!”
JR: “Bah Gawd King, they are even bigger then The Devils Rejects! I believe I have seen these two wrestle somewhere in Japan one time. They rely on their power and strength and work pretty well as a team.”
RK: “Wow, I still can’t believe the size.”

The two monsters walk slowly down the ramp-way and stop in front of the ring. They look at TDR and both climb into the ring using the top rope. They laugh at their “puny” competitors (well Reaper at least) and wait for their other opponents.

“Black Symphony” by NWO Japan hits the speakers and Graphic Violence along with “The Snake” Koji Kensuke walk out of the curtains and receive a mixed reaction. The two Japanese partners walk down to the ring as Terri Hotbody II announces their info.

THII: “The second opponents…first hailing from Tokyo, Japan standing 6’0 and weighing in at 245 lbs…“The Snake” Koji Kensuke!! And his partner, also hailing from Tokyo, Japan, standing 6’5 and also weighing in at 245 lbs…Graphic Violence…NC-17!!!!!”

JR: “Well…these two are very over in Japan. They haven’t done much since stopping by out here in the U.S., but we’ll see what happens now.”
RK: “…..”

THII: “And the team of opponents for this match.”

“Lost Boys” by the 69 Eyes hits the speakers and Trevor Moon/Chaz Sundance both come out onto the ramp with both hands raised like they already won the match. A cocky smile is on both their faces as they jog to the ring. They slide in before their names are announced and pose for the crowd…only attracting more boo’s.

THII: “From Santa Cruz, CA standing 5’10 and weighing in at 200 lbs…Trevor Moon!!! And his partner, also from Santa Cruz, CA, standing 5’9 and weighing in at 198 lbs…Chaz Sundance!!! Mis-led YOOOOOOOOUTH!!!”

RK: “Finally, the entrances are done! Let me let you know something JR, when Starstorm retire from the X-WCW, Misled youth will take the pinnacle of “X-WCW’S best tag-team”
JR: “I beg to differ…”

The bell rings and all men get into their opponents faces and talk trash. About 40 seconds later, The Reaper, Trevor Moon, Koji Kensuke, and Mark Daniels get into their own corners for the match to begin. CCC goes head to head with Mike Daniels while Graphic Violence and Chaz Sundance trade punches. CCC gets the upper hand on Daniels and gets behind his opponent with a waist lock. MD reverses and keeps CCC in a front headlock, then switches and executes a vicious gut wrench suplex. The ring shakes as the 298 pounder hits the canvas followed by a 350 pounder with him. MD quickly gets up and splashes on CCC to further the damage. Meanwhile, Sundance gets in control of his attack on Graphic Violence with a thumb to the eye. He then sends two more punches to the jaw and a kick to the gut. Sundance wastes no time as GP bends over and continues with a spinning neck-breaker.

RK: “It’s just straight violence going on in that ring JR. I’m loving every second of it.”

Sundance sends some boots to GP’s stomach and then spits on the Japan native. This draws some boos from the crowd, but CS doesn’t care. He helps Graphic Violence up, but gets slapped dead in the face. Graphic punches CS twice in the face, then spins around and does a turn around clothesline taking both superstars down. On the other side of things, MD has his cloned sized but shorter opponent against the turnbuckle where Trevor Moon is. He has his left foot on poor CCC’s throat and is choking the life out of him. The referee stops the attack at 4, and MD lets his boot go.

Just as CCC is about to fall face first on the mat, MD hits an uppercut and a side belly-to-belly suplex onto the mat. He attempts a pinfall.

JR: “1…2…kickout by CCC. Almost an elimination from the first pinfall attempt there King”

Reaper starts to scream advice to his opponent as MD helps him up by the head. CCC is picked up and gets 3 clubs to the back, followed by one to the head that takes him back down. Just then, MD moves out of the way of a charging Chaz Sundance sent by Graphic Violence. CS gets thrown into his corner and Graphic charges after him, only to get taken down by a lunging jab from Trevor Moon. CS tags his partner and Trevor goes up top and hits a beautiful shooting starpress over his tag partner and onto Graphic Violence. CS climbs back into the ring and a replay is shown from the height Trevor just took.

Moon attempts a pin, but Violence kicks out. Meanwhile, Mike Daniels has “The Crimson” one in a bear hug. CCC reverses hit with about 4 head butts, forcing the heavier Daniels to let go. CCC some forearms to the face, then attempts a body slam. He screams from the pain he endured from the bear hug, but still slams Daniels to the mat. CCC staggers towards his partner and tags Reaper in. MD gets up and turns around only to get chop blocked from The Reaper on his left leg. MD goes down and Reaper wastes no time sending some boots and knees to MD’s lower back.

RK: “Reaper took down the big guy, he better keep him down if they want to win this one.”
JR: “You got that right King. MD is almost twice Reapers size, he better keep working on the tire so the car can’t move.”

The Reaper applies a half crab on MD’s weak leg and tries to eliminate the Lost Boys by submission. As the submission is applied, Trevor Moon is working on Graphic Violences neck, applying a grapevine choke-hold. Kensuke enters the ring illegally, and hits a running fist drop on Moon’s face that stops the hold. Sundance then jumps in to help his partner, but Kensuke takes him down with a fast arm drag, and then locks in a fujiwa armbar! The referee screams out loud at Kensuke and demands him to let go, but Kensuke keeps the hold in. While the ref is distracted, Mike Daniels grabs the ropes, but Reaper doesn’t let go.

The Reaper screams at CCC to help and CCC obliges. He slides across the apron and kicks MD’s arm. Then grabs the arm and snaps it across the ropes. Reaper, who has had this submission locked in for quite a while now, drags MD back into he middle of the ring. Kensuke finally lets go, but Mark Daniels climbs over the top rope to save his brother. CCC climbs over the rope and runs towards MD, but gets taken down with the hardest big boot you have ever seen. CCC lands on the back of his head hard, but his sacrifice does not go in vain. Mike Daniels can’t take it anymore and taps.

JR: “Oh my gawd, Mike has tapped out!!”
RK: “First elimination!!”

THII: “The Lost Boys have been eliminated by submission!”

Reaper lets go and MD rolls around in pain. Mark Daniels gets frustrated and hits a leg drop on the downed CCC, then slides out of the ring and walks his brother to the back.

JR: “What a brutal exit by the ‘Lost Boys’ King.”
RK: “Yeah, but they were dominate, they will be a strong force in the tag team division. I have never seen CCC get manhandled like that…and Reaper won only because he kept him on the ground. I wonder what would have been if the rope break counted…”

Meanwhile, both “The Snake” and Sundance have made their ways back to their corners and Graphic Violence hits a standing power slam on Moon. He gets up and tags in the fresh Kensuke. He jumps over the top rope and heads towards the downed Moon. As Moon stands, he gets back suplexed on his head. Koji wastes no time and sends a kick to the side of Moon’s temple. He does it 2 more times than spots Reaper charging at him for a clothesline. Koji Kensuke ducks and grabs Reaper’s head and hits a picture perfect reverse neck breaker. He then rolls him over for the pin.

JR: “1…2…kickout by Reaper.”

Koji stands up and also helps Reaper up, he then sends a couple knees to the stomach and power bombs CCC’s tag partner. “The Snake” then spots Moon getting himself back together so he runs towards Moon and hits a stiff kick to the gut. He then executes a vicious tigerbomb on his opponent. Thanks to all the powerful moves he has connected with, his stamina has sunken down a lot and Koji leans on the ropes to take a rest.

JR: “Jesus Christ, Koji is really taking advantage of both his opponents King.”

As he regains his strength, Sundance drops off the apron and makes his way to Koji Kensuke’s way. He then jumps on the apron and snaps the back of Koji’s neck off the ropes. CCC then comes out of nowhere with a vicious STO clothesline to take Koji down. Finally, Trevor Moon makes his way onto his feet and onto the top turnbuckle, then attempts to jump off, until Graphic Violence shakes the ropes causing Moon to fall off.

GP gets in the ring and takes down CCC with a shoulder tackle. He then attempts to run into the ropes and on the rebound take Chaz Sundance (who is on the outside of the ring) out with a baseball slide. Sundance moves out of the way, but grabs his legs and yanks GP out. GP’s face hits the floor and looks to be knocked out. Meanwhile, Moon is back on the top rope and this time hits his Misled 450 leg drop.

JR: “Here is the pin.”
JR & RK: “1…2…3!!!”
RK: “NC-17 is eliminated!! We are now down to the final two teams JR!”

THII: “NC-17 has been eliminated by pinfall!!”

As Trevor gets back up, he is taken down by a R.I.P. spear from Reaper!!

JR: “OH MY GAWD!! 1…2…thr- Sundance breaks it up!! We almost had winners here!”

Reaper angrily gets up, but catches to chops to the chest from Chaz Sundance. Sundance then attempts a kick to the gut, but Reaper catches it. Sundance retaliates with a step up enziguri, which knocks Reaper down. Sundance gets up and helps his partner up from the R.I.P. They look at Reaper and help him up, then take him down with a wheel-kick leg sweep move (Eliminator style). Sundance cockily exits to his corner as Moon attempts a pin.

JR: “1…2…broken up by Casus!! This is a good one Randal.”

Casus gets up and is met by two punches from an annoyed Chaz Sundance. Sundance hits the ropes, but is taken down by a running forearm Lex Luger style. CCC then picks the Misled Youth member up and tosses him out the ring. For some odd reason, the fans in the left section cheer as the match continues.

RK: “Man JR, what has got these idiots so riled up?”
JR: “Dunno King, looks like The Devils Rejects are going to finish this one now though huh?”

Indeed, CCC has been ordered to go back to the apron, but a recovering TR tags him in. The Devils Rejects talk something over and CCC heads over to Moon. He helps him up and gets behind him. TR runs into he ropes and CCC hits a vicious dragon suplex, but TR hits a monstrous R.I. P. spear on Trevor as he is suplexed!! The fans mark out for this sick double team move…and mark out even louder when the Twisted Hunters hold down Chaz Sundance.

JR: “OH BAH GAWD, THAT WAS INSANE!!”
RK: “Hey, look! It’s the Twiztid Hunters, they are stopping Chaz from saving his partner!”

The referee cannot see the interference and goes for the count.

JR: “1…2…3, The Devils Rejects win!!”
RK: “I don’t believe it!!

THII: “Misled Youth has been eliminated by pinfall!!”

The bell rings and “Master Of Puppets” hits the speakers. The Twiztid Hunters let Chaz go and jump over the barracade to exit via the crowd. Chaz Sundance curses them to hell as Terri makes the announcement.

THII: “The winners of this match….The Devils Reeeeeejjjjecttsssss!!!”

TDR get up and exit the ring, an evil smirk across their faces. They leave the arena while Sundance goes to check on his partner.

JR: “My gawd folks, that was a grueling contest. I want to know why the hell the Twiztid Hunters interfered though!”
RK: “Doesn’t matter now, The Devils Rejects have won and they will now begin their quest to regain the X-WCW tag titles.”
JR: “Yeah your right, anyway folks we got more action for ya so don’t go anywhere.”

X-WCW goes to a brief commercial break.

Backstage

We go back from the commercial break and we see KB entering Mr. Back’s office. Inside the office, we see Christopher Back sitting on the chair while KB stands infront of the table.

CB: “Hello there Karl, what may I help you with tonight?”
KB: “Well Mr. Back, you know damn well what you can help me with right now. I want a match with that snake in da grass dat we call ‘Brett Rayne’..and I want it TONIGHT!”

CB sighs for a while before he looks back at KB.

CB: “Karl, I like your enthusiasm, don’t doubt that for a second. However, since you lost at the PPV, you don’t have any right to be in a match with him yet again.”

KB looks a bit frustrated at the sound of CB’s response. He looks down for a while before he looks back at CB.

KB: “Well then, let me remind you something, BOSS. As far as I recall, you still owe me one favor after I won the Xtreme Wargames Match for the X-WCW last June. So that favor, I am gonna use tonight to beat the livin hell outta Mr. Rayne. Now, do we have a deal?”

CB shakes his head slowly before he gives him a nod.

CB: “Fine, you win. Tonight, you and Brett will be two of the four competitors for the X-WCW no. 2 contendership for the X-WCW US title. Now I know there are other two men to be concerned in that match, but you still get your hands on Brett nonetheless. Is that good enough for you Karl?”

Karl has a smirk on his face before he gives CB a nod.

KB: “You bet dats one sweet deal, bossman.”

KB turns around and leaves the office before we go back to the ringside area.

Tony Bonito vs Autobot Jazz

We go to the ring to see Terri Hotbody II with a mic on her hands.

THII: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a 20 minute time limit.”

“Comin to your city” by Big & Rich blares throughout the arena as Autobot Jazz comes out all by himself.

THII: “Introducing first, from Melbourne Florida. He weighs in at 230 lbs, AUTOBOT JAZZ!!!”

The fans cheer loudly as the Final Frontier member makes his way down the ramp to slap some hands.

JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Nitro, folks. Right now we will have a one-on-one match between Autobot Jazz and Tony Bonito. As you may noticed right now, Sci-fi Man is not at ringside with his partner.”
RK: “Well JR, the reason why SFM cant make it tonight is that he had some travel problems and he booked the wrong flight. Either that or he got shot down by air control for being on a no-fly zone while using his ‘super powers’..hahaha!”

AJ slides into the ring and makes his way to the nearby corner. He poses for the fans once me makes it on top and jumps down back to the mat.

JR: “Autobot Jazz is a very good all-around individual in that ring. He displayed his skills during his spare time in the XWA and he is gonna show the X-WCW fans tonight that he can hang with the singles competitors.”
RK: “Often times than not, AJ is used to tagging with SFM. When your in the singles division, it’s the endurance that will wear AJ down. He is used to be the fresh man being tagged in or used to tagging out and get a rest on his side. Tonight, he will not have the luxury of that, JR. I just hope the XWA did teach him how to catch his breath more cause his opponent wont be a slouch either.”

“Fury of the storm” hits the speakers and the pyros explode on stage before we hear the vocals kick in.

“I fly above the rest”
"What it takes to be the best."
"I'll burn this whole place down."
"I'll put you in the ground."

Tony Bonito enters the ringside area with his usual ring gear and points up the air before THII announces him.

THII: “And his opponent, from Boston Mass. He is TONY BONITO!!!”

TB pulls down both arms and makes his way down the ramp as the fans boo him loudly.

JR: “These people do not like this man, King. As much as he is a great wrestler, it was horrible for him to do what he did to D-Extreme last PPV.”
RK: “C’mon now, JR! Just because Bonito hit D-Ex too hard doesn’t mean he is a bad man. Infact, it always happens. Well, it was rather brutal, but still..”
JR: “Whatever, King. Bonito picked AJ after he did a coin toss on a recent house show. As weird as it was, I know Bonito just loved to sink his teeth into some action before he would face Chris Back inside the cage.”

TB enters the ring through the apron and spins around to pose for the fans. He turns around and looks at AJ who is standing on an opposing corner. He lets out a grin at AJ before the Final Frontier member approaches him. The music stops and the bell rings to start off the match.

JR: “Well, there sounds the bell and the match is on!”
RK: “Both men are locked up in that elbow-collar tieup, JR. Lets see who wins this battle.”

AJ quickly applies a side-headlock on Bonito and tightens the hold. Slowly, Bonito fights his way out of it with some well-placed punches to the mid-section of AJ. After a while, Bonito frees himself as he grabs one arm of AJ and twists it for an arm lock. He goes behind Autobot Jazz with the arm still wrenched and AJ spins around hoping to deliver a hard backhand hit on TB. It misses as TB ducks down and releases him. Once AJ faces TB on his way up, TB grabs hold of him and takes him down with a belly to belly suplex.

JR: “What a hard suplex delivered there by Tony Bonito! Bah gawd that sure made an impact huh King?”
RK: “Bonito is one of the X-WCW’s top wrestler. Not only that, JR, but he is the BEST technical wrestler we got here in this industry. AJ should think twice or atelast try to pace himself when he is facing this man right now.”

AJ gets to his feet and he charges at TB. Bonito gets sight of him and takes him down with an armdrag. Once he gets up, TB runs towards him, only to get armdragged as well. Both men get up at the same time and charge with TB going for a clothesline. He misses as AJ ducks and sneaks behind him for an overhead belly to back suplex. Bonito lands on his feet and AJ turns around to be met by a hard headbutt to the forehead that momentarily stuns him. While AJ is stunned, Bonito has him and he hits him with a vertical suplex and floats over for the first pin.

JR: “Here comes the pin 1..2..and a kickout there by Autobot Jazz.”
RK: “It wasn’t a high impact move, but given the headbutt, it was supposed to be enough for AJ to lose. I guess AJ might have more in himself than I expected JR.”

Bonito gets up and waits for AJ to get to a vertical base. He stalks Autobot Jazz like he would be a recent prey to the lion that is Tony Bonito. Bonito sneaks behind AJ and goes for a german suplex, but AJ hits a hard elbow on the side of his head. AJ does a standing switch and takes down Bonito with a back suplex. Once TB gets up, AJ charges and hits him with a shoulder block. Once Bonito goes down the mat yet again, AJ makes a run for it onto the nearby ropes. Once TB gets back up, however, he catches AJ and takes him down with a quick arm drag and locks on an arm bar. AJ slowly gets to his feet and reverses the hold, until TB reverses it yet again to his advantage yet again. While he has the submission hold locked in on AJ, TB uses his free arm to deliver a couple of hard chops across the chest of Autobot Jazz.

RK: “Those chops just echoed right though the building, JR.”
JR: “Tony Bonito has AJ and he reels him in for a…HARD CLOTHESLINE!”
RK: “OUCH! That really would leave a mark across AJ’s body there.”

Once AJ is down and facing the mat, Bonito goes behind him and clamps both legs on his body. While AJ is still down, Bonito starts to slap AJ around hard in the back of his head. The crowd does not approve of this and boos Bonito while he continues to slap around the Final Frontier member.

JR: “Oh my goodness, this is just disgraceful.”
RK: “I dunno about you, JR..hehehe..but this looks fun.”

Once Bonito mounts off AJ, he goes over to the legs. Bonito locks in a leg lock on the legs of Autobot Jazz and puts up the pressure.

JR: “Bonito has AJ with a leg lock there and it can ground him for a few seconds.”
RK: “That leg lock might just set him up for an early ankle lock if AJ aint carefull.”

After a minute with the leg lock, Bonito lets go and picks him up. Bonito backs AJ into the nearby corner and delivers some hard shoulder charges to the mid-section.

JR: “He is just handing punishment there on poor old Autobot Jazz at the corner.”
RK: “Poor? Well it was Final Frontier who issued a challenge to anyone in the X-WCW, this is the price he gets.”

Bonito places AJ to sit on the top turnbuckle before he climbs up to the second rope. He tries to grab AJ for a suplerplex, but AJ delivers some hard punches to the face of Bonito. AJ shoves Bonito down to the mat before he climbs up to the top rope. Once TB gets up, AJ launches himself into the air and connects with a flying crossbody on Bonito.

JR: “Flying crossbody on Bonito and here is the pin 1..2..NO! Bonito kicks out of the pin!”

Both men get up and TB charges at AJ. AJ sees him and takes him down with a drop toe hold. Once TB is down, AJ goes over to lock on a headlock while Bonito is sitting up. Bonito gets to his feet while he is on a headlock and delivers some hard elbows to the mid-section of AJ. He sends AJ bouncing off the ropes and on AJ’s way back he goes for a clothesline. However, AJ slides below him and sneaks up from behind to deliver a triple german suplex.

JR: “OH MY GOODNESS!!! Autobot Jazz just pulled of three straight German suplexes..and he did it on Tony Bonito!”
RK: “That doesn’t look good for TB, getting hit by his own signature move.”

AJ pumps up the crowd, who eats it up and cheers loudly, while he waits for TB to get up. Once TB is up, he starts to deliver a couple of hard punches to him before he takes him down with a flying clothesline. TB slowly gets to his feet and he is sent bouncing off the ropes by AJ. On his way back, AJ hits him with a spinning wheel kick. He picks up TB and readies him for the energon drainer.

JR: “Here comes AJ with his energon drainer move.”
RK: “Oh my goodness, this doesn’t look good for Tony Bonito.”

He hauls TB up on his shoulders for the energon drainer and he slams him down the mat. The impact is felt throughout the arena while AJ goes for the pinfall.

JR: “OH BAH GAWD! WHAT AN IMPACT! Energron Drainer and the pin 1..2..thr…NO! Bonito gets an arm up!”

AJ gets to his feet and does not believe that TB broke the count. He waits for Bonito to get up before he goes for the Autobot Vice. But before he could take TB down, Bonito breaks it with a hard kick to the gut. He grabs AJ and delivers a snap suplex. AJ gets to his feet and TB hits him hard with another snap suplex. Autobot Jazz is down on the mat while TB stalks him.

JR: “Its like Bonito got a bit energized after that energon drainer by Autobot Jazz.”
RK: “Talk about a huge backfire on AJ huh, JR? He didn’t expect that to happen.”

Autobot Jazz slowly gets to his feet and Tony Bonito has him from behind and delivers a German Suplex. He rolls on the mat and gets up before he delivers a second consecutive german suplex. On his way up again, with AJ still on his clutches, he takes down AJ with a third.

JR: “Triple German Suplexes by Bonito and you know this is about to end, King.”

With AJ down, Bonito goes over to the legs and he sticks out one before he starts to stomp down on it. After he stomped down on it, he applies another leg lock on Autobot Jazz.

JR: “AJ is really getting hit on that leg of his by Bonito.”
RK: “I told you, Bonito is the best technical wrestler today. He knows what he is doing inside that ring.”

AJ bellows in pain while Bonito has that leg caught up in a vice. After a few seconds, he lets go of the hold and lifts up the leg. Soon enough, he starts to deliver some hard kicks to the side of the leg.

JR: “This is just a bit brutal right now, King.”

The referee breaks it up while TB plays ‘innocent’ with the whole move. He waits for AJ to get up and sets him up for the Nito Plex.

JR: “He goes for the nitoplex on AJ but WHAT THE?! AJ counters it in mid-air and locks the autobot vice! OH MY GOODNESS! NICE COUTNER THERE BY AJ!!!”
RK: “HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?!”

AJ has the submission move locked tightly and Bonito tries to fight out of it, to no avail. The referee approaches and asks if TB wants to tap out, but TB shakes his head furiously to say ‘no’. After a few seconds, TB figures out he was near the ropes and he holds onto it with his boot and the referee forces AJ to break it up.

RK: “It was some last minute thinking by TB, but it surely saved his skin right here, JR.”

Autobot Jazz gets to his feet and hauls up TB. He drags him in the center of the ring and delivers some hard kicks to the sides. He grabs TB by the arm he used in his submission move and delivers a hard elbow drive on it. TB howls in pain after that hit and AJ continues with an armbreaker drop to the mat. AJ looks at the nearby corner and has a grin on his face. he turns around and pulls TB by the arm and delivers a couple of stomps to it before he slowly makes his way towards the corner and climb up. However, thanks to TB’s punishment on his legs, it took a while for AJ to climb up.

JR: “It seems like he sticked the arm out of TB before he goes for the top rope.”
RK: “He found TB’s temporary Achilles Heel and he wants to capitalize on it.”

AJ makes it to the top rope, but before he could turn around, we see TB up and about. He quickly runs towards the corner and without AJ noticing him, he sneaks in and grabs him from behind. Before you could say ‘HOLY S***”, Tony Bonito delivers a nito plex from the top rope with AJ going down hard the mat.

JR: “BAH GAWD! NITOPLEX OUT OF NOWHERE!!!”
RK: “That Bonito sure is a bag full of surprises. At one point, you think he was down and out, and after a second, BAM! You wouldn’t see him once he hits ya.”

The fans chant ‘that was awesome!’ after TB pulled off that move on AJ. With AJ down, TB slowly gets up and holds his arm in pain. He glares at the fallen AJ before he goes over him and locks the ankle lock.

JR: “And here it is, the ankle lock is applied.”
RK: “It wont take that long before we hear some tapping on that mat, JR.”

Once TB has the ankle lock on Autobot Jazz, the Final Frontier member taps out to the move. The referee calls for the bell and signals the end of the match.

THII: ”The winner of this match as a result of submission…TONY BONITO!!!”

TB’s music plays on the speakers as the fans boo due to his victory. TB looks at the fallen AJ and lets out a smirk on his face. He approaches AJ yet again and locks the ankle lock on him.

JR: “OH CMON NOW! That is just enough!”
RK: “I know, JR. But you cant force this man out of what he wants.”

Bonito, who has the ankle lock on AJ, lies down on the mat and clamps both legs on the leg of AJ to apply more pressure to it. The referee tries to break him up, but TB refuses to budge. The fans start to boo TB while he continues to slap that submission move on AJ.

JR: “Bonito is one brutal man, King.”
RK: “Not only is he brutal, he is one blood-thirsty individual tonight. I dunno about Mr. Back, but I don’t think it was a wise decision to let him face TB inside a steel structure on the next PPV alone.”
JR: “Well folks, we will go to a commercial break right now.”

X-WCW goes to a break while a couple of more referees make their way to the ring and try to break up the hold.

Flash Stryker vs The Renegade Ron Michaels

”Speedway” hits, and Flash Stryker makes his entrance for what will be his last match in X-WCW. As always, he points at the ring and commences his run toward it.

THII: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring: FLASH STRYKER!”

He receives a hardy cheer from the fans in attendance, and in an unexpected move, he asks Terri for the microphone, and she happily obliges.

FS: “If you great fans can indulge me for a few moments….”

The fans continue to cheer, launching into a “Thank you Flash!” chant that lasts for 30 seconds. Naturally, Flash needs this time to maintain his composure.

FS: “…. Just in case I’m in no condition to do it later, I just wanted to thank you all for your support during my time here in X-WCW. Don’t get me wrong: the spirit is willing, but according to my doctors, the flesh is weak. Now it’s time to give you something good to remember me by!”

He passes the microphone back to Terri, then “Hurt” hits. Before long, “The Renegade” Ron Michaels makes his entrance, receiving a mixed response.

THII: “And his opponent: from out west – ‘THE RENEGADE’ RON MICHAELS!”

The Renegade makes his way to the ring and enters it.

Once this occurs, the bell rings to commence proceedings. Renegade and Stryker hook up in the middle, but after a few seconds, the significantly heavier Renegade breaks the grapple and pushes Stryker to the left ropes.

Stryker rebounds and charges at Renegade, only to be caught in a vicious sidewalk slam, followed by the first pin attempt of the encounter.

RK: “1…. 2…. NOT QUITE 3!”
JR: “Flash Stryker wasn’t kidding when he suggested he was spent! He needed to reach down deep to kick out of that one!”

Renegade allows Stryker to get up, and once Stryker does so, Renegade continues his attack. He grabs Stryker’s left arm and locks it in an arm wrench, wrenching it several times in succession. Then, he reverses to the back right turnbuckles, and in similar fashion to The Undertaker, he climbs to the top ropes!

JR: “Bah Gawd! What’s he doing here, King?”
RK: “Hopefully, he’s going to do something we’ve never seen in this company before, JR! And not a moment too soon!”

Sure enough, Renegade launches into a most innovative move. With the arm wrench still firmly locked in, Renegade jumps off the top turnbuckle, wrapping his legs around Stryker’s arm and behind Stryker’s back, for what can be described as an inverted cross arm breaker leg drop! This brings Stryker crashing to the mat face first, and naturally, a “HOLY SHIT!” chant breaks out!

RK: “WOW! What an amazing move! All the Renegade needs to do now is join the nTo, and he’ll become one of the true greats of our business!”
JR: “Will you STOP IT?”

Instead of going for the pinfall, though, Renegade stands up again, shouting “You want to give these fans something to remember, Stryker? Then get up and fight!” at Stryker. Slowly but surely, Stryker rises, but as soon as Stryker gets to his feet, Renegade grabs him in a side headlock.

Renegade keeps the hold on for about ten seconds, but with a sudden surge of energy, Stryker grabs Renegade and brings him to the mat with a stiff belly-to-back suplex! Stryker gets up quickly, and with Renegade still winded from the move, Stryker grabs Renegade’s legs and performs a wishbone leg splitter on Renegade!

RK: “Ouch! I hope Renegade wasn’t planning on becoming a father any time soon!”
JR: “Don’t be silly!”

Stryker goes for Renegade’s legs again, catapulting Renegade to the back ropes, and as Renegade rebounds, Stryker hooks both of Renegade’s arms and performs a double underhook suplex on the bigger man. Stryker then goes for his first pinfall attempt of the match.

RK: “1…. 2…. NO!”
JR: “Still a bit too early, I’d say!”

Renegade gets up, but Stryker goes on the attack once again. He attempts to whip Renegade to the right ropes, but Renegade reverses it, sending Stryker to the right ropes himself. Upon Stryker’s rebound, Renegade attempts a clothesline, but Stryker ducks it, and upon Stryker’s rebound off the left ropes, Stryker floors Renegade with a spinning heel kick!

Stryker gets up, and waits for Renegade to do the same. Once Renegade does finally rise, Stryker quickly spins him around and locks Renegade in a sleeper hold, keeping it locked on for about ten seconds before Renegade breaks free with a jawbreaker.

Renegade goes for another pin.

RK: “1…. 2…. CLOSE!”
JR: “Stryker’s got some fight left in him! Come on, kid!”
RK: “You crawler!”
JR: “Three words for you: Pot, Kettle, Black!”

Renegade is stunned that Stryker has kicked out once again, and once both men are up, Renegade pulls Stryker in for a short arm clothesline, which Stryker ducks. Renegade then turns to face Stryker, only to be greeted with a swift boot to the gut and a snap DDT.

With Renegade smarting on the canvas, Stryker signals for his signature move – The Drag Strip – bringing the fans to their feet! A “Let’s go Flash!” chant breaks out as Stryker waits for Renegade to get to his feet again.

Renegade stands, and Stryker boots him in the gut once more, hooking both of Renegade’s arms and reversing toward the front left turnbuckles. Stryker climbs them to hit his finisher, but Renegade reverses the move, standing up straight and dropping Stryker into a Gory Special piledriver!

Stryker is now seriously hurt, but this does not stop Renegade by placing Stryker in the Renegade Hold. Feeling even more pain, and unable to escape the hold, Stryker taps out, and the referee calls for the bell to end the match.

Renegade releases the hold, and Stryker slumps to the mat, apparently unconscious.

THII: “Here’s your winner – ‘THE RENEGADE’ RON MICHAELS!”

The crowd gives a standing ovation for both men, and Renegade turns the downed Stryker over to check if he is conscious.

JR: “This wouldn’t be the way I’d want my wrestling career to end, King.”
RK: “Speak for yourself, JR! Stryker ought to be thankful he didn’t drop dead from all those injuries!”

Renegade helps Stryker to his feet, saying “Good match, man. Good luck for the future!” as he raises Stryker’s hand. The crowd cheers again, and another “Thank you Flash!” chant occurs.

RK: “Listen to these idiots, JR! Whatever happened to ‘Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye’?”
JR: “It’s a thing called ‘respect’, King. You ought to try it sometime!”
RK: “Awww, you’re no fun!”
JR: “Stay with us!”

Nitro goes to a commercial break.

We go back from the commercial break and we hear the voice-overs from the announcers.

JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW NITRO! Up next, we got ourselves a four-way match to determine the #2 contender for the X-WCW United States Cham..”

The lights go out and we hear a voice.

“I…AM…IT!”

RK: “J…JR?....did you just hear tha-ARRRGH!”

The pyros explode and we hear “BREAK” on the speakers. Soon enough “Tear Away” by drowning pool plays on the speakers and the lights go back up. Soon enough a figure emerges out of the curtains and its R.E. Rage.

RK: “OH MY GOODNESS JR! ITS RAGE! HE IS BACK!!!”
JR: “Well aint that a sight for sore-eyes huh?”

The fans give him a mixed reaction as he comes out of the ringside area wearing a black polo and some blue jeans. He enters the ring and he poses for the fans before he snatches the mic from THII. As his music fades, we hear an emerging “Ricky S*cks” chant to welcome back the former X-WCW wrestler.

Rage: “Just when you thought I got pinned by Baller, it would be the last that you would see of R.E. Rage. Well I got a newsflash for all you people out here and all you X-WCW superstars at the back…YOU GOT IT WRONG!”

Rage pauses for a while before he continues.

Rage: “The reason why I’m back here in the X-WCW is simple. For the past 6 months, the only thing I could remember from my last time here was me being pinned by a certain idiot by the name of Karl Baller and gain this fed the win from the wargames. You know Karl, after that match, I went on and lose my title from the 2NLW and then left the world of wrestling. But its been 6 months too long and those two straight loses have been a thing of the past. The reason I’m back here in the X-WCW is to prove, once again, that R.E. Rage is the best wrestler in the world regardless on where he wrestles. Now, since I am back here, no one will stop the path of Ra..”

Before he could continue his speech, “American Badass” hits the speakers and RA comes down the ringside area.

RK: “What in the world is this idiot doing here?”
JR: “That’s a good question, King. However, I am thankful he did shut Rage up with his usual arrogant speeches in the ring. He spared us a year and a half after he left the X-WCW, and tonight aint the night I want to get used to his voice on the mic again. I guess RA has his uses after all.”

RA enters the ring and has a mic of his own. Rage looks at him and shudders, he backs off and speaks again.

Rage: “Ugh…don’t tell me they signed YOU here while I was away from the ring.”

Rage shakes his head as RA lifts his mic up and speaks.

RA: “Rage you little gay pansy! Youre one big loser and these people here know it!”

RA raises his arm up in the air and waits for the fans to back him up. For some reason, we hear nothing…but the chirping of the crickets. Rage just laughs before he speaks again.

Rage: “I guess that proves you wrong, you big waste of space. Say RA, why don’t you just save us our breath and just leave the ring right no..”

Before Rage could continue, RA tackles him and both men start a brawl inside the ring. Rage starts to hammer away on RA’s face before RA rolls around to turn the tide. It goes back and forth as both men roll on the ring and continue to hit the other with some hard punches. Soon enough, the security personnel enters the ringside area and break up the fight.

JR: “Rage has made his return, but Iamarealamerican cut it short, King. Right now, they are broken up in a brawl by the X-WCW security.”
RK: “As much as I am glad that Rage is back, I cant say the same for RA being here in X-WCW television. Doesn’t he have some activities to keep him away from this ring like..playing dominatrix or something?”
JR: “Well folks we will be back right after the break.”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as security pull RA out of the ring and escort him to the backstage. Inside the ring, the other security personnel restrain R.E. Rage as he tries to go outside and catch up to RA.

#2 Contendership to the X-WCW US Championship
Four Corner Match
Karl Baller vs Judge Death vs Nightmare vs Brett Rayne

”Ima Hustla” hits the PA system, and Karl Baller comes out to a thunderous ovation.

THII: “The following is a Four-Way Elimination Match, for the Number Two Contendership to the X-WCW United States Championship! Introducing first: from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – KARL BALLER!”

The crowd continues to cheer as Baller launches into his trademark dance. Baller makes his way to the ring, then the cheers turn to equally loud boos as “Number One” hits, and Brett Rayne makes his usual entrance

THII: “His first opponent: from Huntington Beach, California from Monday to Friday, and from your mother’s bedroom on Saturday and Sunday – BRETT RAYNE!”

The booing continues as Rayne makes his way to the ring. Then, the noise from the crowd becomes very mixed as “Out of the Silent Planet” hits the arena speakers, and Judge Death appears on stage.

THII: “Their next opponent: from the place known simply as Deadworld – JUDGE DEATH!”

JD makes his way to the ring, then the fans erupt once more as “Comin’ to your City” hits. Before long, Sci Fi Man makes his appearance on the stage.

THII: “And their final opponent: from Seattle, Washington, he is one half of The Final Frontier – SCI FI MAN!”

SFM makes his way to the ring.

Naturally, once all four men have entered the ring, the bell rings to start proceedings. SFM ties up with Rayne in the centre of the ring, while JD and Baller tie up near the right ropes.

Baller manages to break his tie up with JD by hip tossing JD out of the ring, and Baller goes right after him. Meanwhile, SFM gains the upper hand on Rayne, breaking the tie up and executing a pump handle slam.

Though with no standard pinfalls or submissions allowed in this particular match-up, SFM decides to try and eliminate Rayne the old-fashioned way: by tossing him over the top rope on the left side. SFM picks Rayne up off the mat in order to do this, then he lifts Rayne into a body slam position, but as he charges to the left ropes, Rayne escapes by slipping out behind SFM.

In shock, SFM turns around, only to be greeted by a stiff boot to the gut from Rayne. As SFM is bent over, Rayne locks him in a front facelock, then he lifts SFM up for a suplex. However, and in an astonishing display of raw strength, Rayne suspends SFM in the vertical position, walking over to the ropes and front suplexing SFM right to the arena floor, eliminating SFM in the process!

JR: “BAH GAWD! Sci Fi Man’s been eliminated!”
RK: “Well folks, I hope you enjoyed Sci Fi Man’s singles career! All 30 seconds of it!”
JR: “OH, STOP IT!”
RK: “Stick to the Tag Team division, Sci Fi Man!”

While Rayne takes a breather, Baller and JD are now back in the ring after their wild brawl on the outside. Their fight continues on the inside, where Baller whips JD to the left ropes. On JD’s rebound, Baller goes for an Axe Bomber-style lariat, but JD ducks it, and by this time, Rayne has climbed the back left turnbuckles for a missile dropkick attempt.

Before Baller can capitalise on JD’s rebound off the right ropes, Rayne brings Baller crashing to the mat with his planned missile dropkick, leaving JD to change tack and attack Rayne instead. Both men tie up, and surprisingly, JD gains the strength advantage, sending Rayne to the back ropes with a powerful thrust.

JR: “That I did not expect, King!”
RK: “Don’t let his somewhat smaller size fool you, JR – Judge Death is as strong and as tough as any man I’ve seen in my many years in this industry!”

The slightly shocked Rayne makes another charge at JD, but with another show of strength, JD catches him and lifts him into a military press slam position, but as he turns to face the stage, another familiar face on the stage catches his eye….

RK: “Oh my God! It’s Seith Helloct!”
JR: “What business does he have in this match?”

JD slams Rayne to the mat and starts to approach the left side, and Seith charges toward the ring, jumping onto the ring apron and goading JD to have a shot at him. After a moment, JD happily obliges Seith, taking a swing at him, but Seith ducks it, and before JD can take another swipe, Seith grabs him by the neck and performs a neck whip off the top left rope!

Naturally, this sends JD hurtling backwards, and Baller – having now recovered from his earlier bump – intercepts JD with a well-placed boot to the midsection. Baller places JD into a headscissor position, lifting him up for a running crucifix powerbomb that sends JD to the arena floor – and out of the match!

RK: “The distraction worked! Judge Death has been eliminated!”
JR: “And Judge Death and Seith Helloct are still going at it! Judge Death must be livid!”

Sure enough, JD and Seith fight all the way back to the backstage area, and back in the ring, Baller and Rayne resume their battle. They tie up in the middle of the ring once more, but Rayne breaks it with a low blow that somehow goes unnoticed by the referee.

JR: “Just a damn minute! Shouldn’t that be a disqualification?”
RK: “Someone must’ve forgotten to tell you before: there aren’t any DQs or countouts in this match either!”
JR: “That someone must’ve been YOU, King!”
RK: “OK, JR – guilty as charged!”

Baller is now on his knees, and Rayne capitalises on this by rebounding off the front ropes and performing a baseball slide to Baller’s left knee! And as Baller smarts from this hard impact, Rayne gets up, standing behind Baller and grabbing Baller in a reverse headlock.

This move brings Baller to his feet, and in another freakish show of force, Rayne brings Baller to the mat with an inverted snapmare!

JR: “WOW! Look at the power!”
RK: “And he still has enough energy after his matches to satisfy his countless female admirers!”
JR: “So he won’t be endorsing Viagra any time soon, right?”
RK: “No! I don’t want him putting me out of a lucrative job!”

And despite there being no submissions, Rayne still places Baller in a camel clutch, keeping the hold on for about 40 seconds before the referee orders him to break it.

Baller appears spent by this time, and Rayne seeks to do further damage by bringing Baller to his feet and whipping him to the back ropes. On Baller’s rebound, Rayne tries to bring him down with a spinning heel kick, but Baller rolls under it, and on Baller’s second rebound, Baller launches into a successful hurricanrana!

With Baller now having Rayne in what would otherwise be a pinning predicament, Baller launches into a flurry of left and right hands to Rayne’s face.

Rayne now seems to be out for the count, so Baller motions for one of his finishers – the Number One Single – whipping the crowd into a frenzy. He climbs the front right turnbuckles and launches into the move, but Rayne – with every ounce of energy he can muster – rolls out of the way at the last minute, causing Baller to land flat on his front!

Baller is smarting from the pain, and Rayne seizes the opportunity to hit a finisher of his own: the Rayne Drop. He brings Baller to his feet yet again, grabbing him in the front facelock position for the suplex portion of the move, but in a surprising move, Baller slips out and manages to hit his other finisher – the Chaos from Heaven – on Rayne!

The crowd erupts in the wake of this move, but Baller is not finished just yet. He brings the barely conscious Rayne to his feet again, turning him around and delivering an atomic whip that sends Rayne over the left turnbuckles and to the floor, eliminating Rayne and giving Baller the victory!

The bell rings to end proceedings as the fans erupt once more.

THII: “Here’s your winner – KARL BALLER!”

Baller continues to pose for the fans in celebration of his win.

JR: “How about that? Karl Baller is well and truly realizing his potential in X-WCW now!”
RK: “Potential idiocy, that is! He’s sounding more and more like John Cena every day!”
JR: “Please don’t drop that name again! I’ve better things to do tonight than get sued!”
RK: “Like what? Adding to your Grandmaster E shrine?”
JR: “Very funny.”
RK: “More to come, so stay with us!”

Nitro goes to a commercial break.
Backstage

Nitro comes back from the commercial break to see Tony Bonito sitting down a chair while he is at his locker room. Suddenly, a knock on his door is heard and he gets up.

TB: “Get in”

The door opens and R.E. Rage steps into the scene. TB, with a puzzled look on his face, approaches the guest.

TB: “So what the hell are you doing here in my locker room?”
Rage: “Just wanted to stop by and say that I liked that match earlier with you and AJ. You surely showed him who’s boss.”

Rage has a grin on his face while Bonito still has a stern look on his.

TB: “That’s it?”
Rage: “I guess that’s it, Tony. Unless, of course, you want to talk about something else right now. I got some plans here on my return in the X-WCW and I hope you got the spare time to listen to these plans.”
TB: “Now why would I care about your..’plans’ huh Ricky?”
Rage: “You can say, that it concerns you as well. Infact, it might even benefit you.”
TB: “Really now? Go on, I’m all ears.”

The scene fades as we go back to the ringside area.

Non-Title
Triangle match
Grandmaster E vs Otacon vs Igz (c)

JR: “Welcome back to X-WCW Nitro. Right now, were preparing for the main event for the night.”
RK: “It’s a triple threat match for the X-WCW title, JR. I cant wait! However, looking back at the backstage segment, I wonder what Rage is planning.”
JR: “Well, if it concerns that opportunistic and arrogant man called ‘R.E. Rage’ its always not good, King.”

The camera pans over to the ringside area where we see Terri Hotobody II stand inside the ring.

THII: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonights MAIN EVENT!”

“Clint Eastwood” by The Gorillaz hit as Ignavus makes his entrance into the ringside area. The fans get on their feet and cheer loudly as the current X-WCW UW champ is on the stage with the belt on his waist.

THII: “Introducing first, from Simsbury CT. He is the X-WCW Ultimate World Champion…IGNAVUS!!!”

Igz makes his way down the ramp and slaps some hands of the fans as he makes his way towards the ring. Surprisingly, he appears to be a bit less lazy than usual.

JR: “Here comes the champ, King. I cant believe Ignavus defeated Otacon in a short span of time at the PPV.”
RK: “For a lazy man, he sure is one lucky one as well. He just got lucky from that match, JR, admit it.”
JR: “Luck is a factor, King. However, I saw the match like you did and that was no fluke.”

He enters into the ring and makes his way into the nearby ropes. He climbs up to the second rope and raises his belt into the air. The fans continue to cheer at Igz after he turns around and places his belt on his shoulder. Igz makes his way towards the nearby corner and leans on it while he waits on his opponents. His music gets cut and “Superstar” replaces it.

THII: “And his opponent, from Manchester England…OTACON!!!”

Otacon enters the ringside area to the loud boos of the crowd. The Con Man makes his way down the rampway not looking pleased at all.

JR: “Here comes the former X-WCW Champion. By the looks of it, King, he does not look that glad of losing his belt.”
RK: “Of course he aint that feeling a-ok with being belt-less thanks to Igz. When a champion loses, especially in a short amount of time, he gets disappointed. Otacon is beyond disappointed right now, its obvious that he was humiliated by the slacker king. Tonight, he will do anything he can to teach Ignavus a lesson.”

Otacon enters the ring and points at Igz, who was on the other side of the ring. He starts to motion that the belt will soon be his yet again. Igz lets out a shrug before we hear “King of my castle” kick in the speakers.

THII: “And from Australia…GRANDMASTER E!!!”

The fans cheer on the former X-WCW UW champ as he makes his way down the ramp.

JR: “Tonight, Ignavus is set to face off against the two people who were past champions before he was.”
RK: “Its gonna be an interesting match, JR. These three men have three different styles. Will their styles mesh up and put on a good match? Or will one have the upper hand here?”

GME enters the ring and poses for the crowd until his music fades away.

JR: “All three men are now in the ring, King. The match is about to start, any predictions?”
RK: “I don’t wanna give away my pick, JR. Usually, when I do, you say something like my pick would NOT win.”
JR: “Well, 9 times out of 10, you DON’T get it right.”
RK: “The more reason I’d just shut up right now and not tell YOU who I think is gonna win here.”

The bell rings and all three men approach the center of the ring. It doesn’t take that much time to see Otacon tackle Ignavus and starts to rain down on the hard punches to the face. Grandmaster E approaches Otacon and pulls him off Ignavus. Otacon, who resented that move, hits a couple of hard knees to the gut of GME before he takes him down with a jawbreaker. Otacon gets to his feet and he is met by a hard bulldog by Ignavus. Grandmaster E gets to his feet and he and Ignavus wait for Otacon to get up. Once the con man is on a vertical base, both men deliver a double clothesline to take him down.

JR: “A double team move there by the champ and GME.”
RK: “Otacon was hell bent to beat up the champ and it garnered him this reaction by both men. That was not a good move from the former champ. I can understand his hatred for losing the title and all, but he needs to keep his anger in check right now. This is not a normal one-on-one match. You gotta worry about the OTHER guy in this contest.”

While Otacon is down, both GME and Igz shake hands before they lock up. GME quickly has a side headlock on Igz before the champ powers out of it and sends him bouncing off the ropes. He ducks an incoming clothesline from GME and GME is taken down by a recovered Otacon with a powerslam. Ignavus turns around and he sees a charging Otacon. Otacon goes down and hangs on the bottom rope after Igz takes him down with a drop toe hold. With Otacon down, Igz charges at him and delivers a knee drive onto his back. He pulls up Otacon for something, but the con man rakes him on the face to take him off guard. Otacon grabs Ignavus from behind and delivers a sleeper takedown on him. Grandmaster E is back up again and hits a punch on Otacon that sends the former champ reeling. Grandmaster grabs Otacon and reels him in for a clothesline, but Otacon ducks down and sneaks behind him. Otacon rolls him up with the tights pulled up while the referee does not know it.

JR: “Heres the first pin 1..2..NO! Kick out by GME! Otacon thought he would get away with pulling those tights on GME, but he is too good for that.”
RK: “Don’t you mean he might be pissed at creative again if he cant no-sell something for a match?”
JR: “…what?”

Otacon gets to his feet and waits for GME to get to his feet. However, we see Ignavus just standing behind Otacon. He taps Otacon on the shoulder before the con man turns around to meet Igz. Igz gives him a grin before he delivers a hard headbutt on the face of Otacon. Otacon staggers backwards and GME catches him with a belly to back suplex. With Otacon down, Igz charges at GME, but he receives a back body drop and lands on top of the fallen Otacon. Igz rolls off Otacon while Grandmaster E hauls up the con man. Grandmaster E goes for a vertical suplex, but Otacon wriggles out of it and lands behind GME. GME has no time to react as Ignavus comes charging at him as well. The result goes into an unexpected double team maneuver of Igz and Otacon with a spinning leg lariat-leg sweep combo that takes down Grandmaster E.

RK: “WOW! Well, that was a bit unexpected. It seemed like they did a little bit of the rock n roll express with that double team move.”
JR: “Indeed they did. Otacon and Ignavus took down GME with that beautiful combination.”

Both Otacon and Ignavus start to punch each other inside the ring while GME is still down on the mat. Otacon knees Ignavus hard on the gut before he takes him down with a bodyslam. Otacon bounces off the ropes, but Igz gets up on both knees and he sweeps Otacon back to the mat. Iganvus pulls Otacon to a vertical base and delivers a couple of hard clubs to the con man’s back. He backs him into the corner and climbs on top of him. Once Igz reaches the top, he starts to hammer away on the face of Otacon. Once he reaches the 10th punch, GME sneaks up behind him and climbs to the second rope on the same corner. He grabs Ignavus from behind and takes both of them down the mat with a back suplex from the corner. With both men down, the beaten up Otacon just flops face first onto the mat.

JR: “All three men are down right now, King.”
RK: “GME just came outta nowhere and took down Igz from that corner.”

GME gets to his feet and waits for Otacon to get to his feet before he meets him with a hard forearm to the face a couple of times. He backs Otacon into the ropes before he shoots him into the opposite ropes. He catches Otacon with a back body drop, but the con man lands behind him. Ignavus gets up and charges at GME, who ducks and Ignavus takes down Otacon with a clothesline. GME spins Igz around and hits him with a couple of punches before he sets him up for a suplex. Igz blocks it and rolls up GME for the pin.

JR: “Here is the pinfall 1..2..no..reversed by GME..1…2..kickout by Ignavus.”

With Ignavus still rolling back to his feet after the kick out, GME is sitting down on the mat. Otacon sneaks in and places a vicious kick to the chest of GME for him to fall down and Otacon sits on GME while he pulled up one leg for the pin.

RK: “Pin by Otacon 1..2..what the?! Ignavus just hopped onto Otacon and rolls him up for a pin as well here it is 1..2..kickout by both men. This seems to be a part of the match where all three men just wanna win huh JR?”
JR: “I can see that as well, King.”

Both Igz and Otacon are now up and Otacon kicks Igz on the gut. He sends him down the mat with a DDT and pins the champion for the count. However, before the referee could count, GME comes in and breaks up the pin. GME hits some hard clubs to the back of Otacon before he picks him up. He sends Otacon bouncing off the ropes and ducks down for a back body drop. However, Otacon stops just in time and kicks GME hard on the jaw. GME staggers backwards before Otacon sends him down with a running STO. With GME down, Otacon gets to his feet and taunts the crowd. The crowd boos before they cheer at the sight of Ignavus getting to his feet behind Otacon.

JR: “Ignavus is back up and he is just behind Otacon.”
RK: “Con man better be ready once he turns around then.”

Otacon turns around and looks a bit shocked to see Ignavus pointing at him while the crowd says ‘YOU!’. Otacon goes for a punch but he is blocked and is met by one mighty blow by ignavus that stuns him. Ignavus hits another hard right hand to Otacon before he sends him into the ropes. Once Otacon returns, he goes down via big boot from Ignavus.

RK: “What in the..dont tell me..”

Iganvus does a hulk Hogan ‘cup-in-ear’ taunt to the crowd and they go nuts. He points to the fallen otacon before he makes his way into the nearby ropes.

RK: “Oh…c’mon now!”
JR: “Guess the fans here will get a holiday treat from the champ.”

Ignavus bounces off the ropes and connects with a HUGE legdrop on the fallen otacon. The fans go nuts, however, go silent once Iganvus gets up and lets out a huge yawn. After a few seconds, Ignavus falls down like a ton of bricks and starts to snore.

RK: “………..what the hell just happened?”
JR: “Beats me, king.”

While Ignavus is sleeping, we see GME slowly get to his feet to observe the aftermath of everything. He scratches his head for a while before he hauls up Otacon and sets him up for a powerbomb.

JR: “Grandmaster E has Otacon on his grasps and lifts him up for a..SIT DOWN POWERBOMB! BAH GAWD WHAT AN IMPACT!”

The ring shook hard and the fans chant ‘holy sh*t” after they heard that. Grandmaster E pins Otacon for the 1..2..3!

JR: “The match is over! Grandmaster E pins the con man and he gets the shot against Ignavus in the next show! I CANT BELIEVE IT!”
RK: “What I cant believe here, JR, is how the heck could Ignavus fall asleep..IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATCH?!”

The bell rings and we hear the announcement from Terri Hotbody II

THII: “The winner of this match by pinfall..GRANDMASTER E!!!”

“King of my castle” hits the speakers as the referee raises the hand of GME. Once the referee lets go, GME climbs up the nearest corner and poses for the fans. While he is at the corner, the referee wakes up ignavus and hands him his X-WCW UW belt.

RK: “Well FINALLY, Ignavus wakes up.”

Igz slowly gets to his feet and scratches his bum before he retrieves the belt and places it on his shoulder. Once GME climbed down the corner, he meets Ignavus face-to-face and both men just staredown at each other.

JR: “These two men know that its gonna be them facing each other on the next show for that title, King.”
RK: “Two of the X-WCW’s top wrestlers, on Warzone, will be gunning for the top prize in this industry today. I cant wait to see that match.”
JR: “Until that happens though, we gotta leave. For Randal King, this is James Russell, we will see you next time.”

We see both men shaking each others hand and then GME leaving the ring. The show closes with Ignavus in the ring, holding his X-WCW UW title as he watches GME head to the back
