85) X-WCW Doubleshot #15: The Countdown to the X-Rumble I

[Cyberstrike]

X-WCW goes on air as we see the stage light up with the usual pyrotechnic display to start off the show. The cameras swirl over the ringside area to show the fans in attendance holding various signs that include “Biafra is Straight Edge, but is he STRAIGHT?”, “I’ll dump my girl just to kiss Rayne” and “Sandy Drake stole my desk!”. The camera pans over to the announce table where we are greeted by James Russell and Randal King.

JR: “Good evening folks and welcome to X-WCW DOUBLESHOT! Hello everyone, this is James Russell alongside Randal King and we are here at the site for the X Rumble at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit Michigan.”
RK: “Tonight is gonna be a sneak preview for all the people here in the motor city, JR! This night will serve as a free taste to these fans here of what to expect at X-WCW’s Pay Per View this year.”
JR: “Not only will the matches serve as a taster for the audience here tonight, but we will also have the SECOND edition of Sandy Drake’s “THE YOUNG ZONE”! Tonight, his guests are yet to be determined, but I am sure that it will be yet another explosive interview as what happened the last show.”
RK: “Lotta tension in the air with TGO and KB on the first Young Zone, JR. I was damn surprised both men didn’t tear each other apart inside that ring. Its like they are just playing a little mind game war with each other to see who would flinch first. So far, neither has, but soon enough I know there would be.”
JR: “But before we get to some verbal xtremes, King, its time to hit the ring and watch the first match of the night!”

X-WCW TV Championship
Greg Biafra vs Judge Death (c)

THII: “Ladies & gentlemen, the following singles contest is scheduled for 1 fall and it is for the X-WCW Television championship. This match will have a 20-minute time limit. Introducing the challenger….”

“I Want to Conquer the World” by Bad Religion hits the speakers and the X-WCW newcomer, Greg Biafra hits the stage.

THII: “From San Diego, CA, standing 5’11 and weighing in at a mean 238 lbs…Greg Biafra!!”

He gets a small mixed reaction as he strolls down the X-WCW ramp-way and closer to the ring. Greg climbs into the ring and spins around doing a pose. Again, he receives a small mixed reaction as he stretches his arms out to get ready.

JR: “I have seen this kid wrestle in the Indy’s a few times. Although he is still a big mystery to me, I like what I saw. He is a brawler with some high flying skills.”
RK: “Oh shut up James, you know for a fact that you have never seen or heard of him in your life.”
JR: “Why you...”
RK: “Ha! I knew I was right.”

Just then, “Out Of The Silent Planet” by Iron Maiden hits the speakers and the fans easily pop for the X-WCW T.V. champion.

THII: “And his opponent, from Dead world, standing 6’0 and weighing in at….oh my God. Ummm…weighing in at 100 lbs on the dot….the X-WCW Television champion….JUUUDGE DEAAAAAAAAATH!!!!!!”

The anorexic looking X-WCW Television champion, Judge Death, comes out of the curtains with his helmet on. The X-WCW Television title on his left shoulder as he heads to the ring. Many people tap his shoulder as he makes his way down to the ring. He uses the stairs to enter the ring and just gives the title to the referee. Greg looks at Judge Death with a “How is HE a champion” kind of stare and just shakes his head anyway. JD smirks as he engages eye contact.

RK: “I still don’t find how this freak is still alive today JR. My grandson weighs more than him and he was just born.”
JR: “I don’t think that’s true…anyway, this will be a good match. Judge Death is very strong even with his weight. I will really like this match up.”

Both superstars stare each other down as the referee signals for the bell. The experienced Judge Death moves around the ring as Greg Biafra does the same as his counterpart. About 12 seconds later, the two superstars collide with a lock up. They struggle for a big…just until Death starts to gain the strength advantage and “beasts” into the nearby corner. The referee pries the two apart and Judge Death backs up allowing Greg to get away from the corner. Greg then locks up with Death again, only this time he quickly takes Judge Death’s left arm and puts it in an arm wrench.

JR: “An arm wrench applied by Greg Biafra, I believe he is trying to take the strength away from the TV champion right here King. It is very smart to do at that, you don’t want JD to get off anything like a power bomb.”
RK: “It’s amazing that paperclip can even walk.”

JD slaps his left shoulder and tries to absorb the pain. He attempts to remove Greg’s hands from his arm, but Greg quickly twists Judge’s left arm over his head again to worsen the hold. Death’s eye winces in pain as Greg pulls the arm into his shoulder a couple times. Greg then sends a fist onto JD’s left shoulder, then lets go and takes him down with an arm drag.

Judge Death holds his left arm as Greg goes for a pick up. GB attempts to grab JD’s head, but JD trips him up and catches him with a surprise small package!

JR: “1…2…thr- kickout! Bah Gawd, we almost had a quick ending there thanks to the surprise pin attempt.”
RK: “No kidding JR. Greg was getting to relaxed there.”

Judge Death & Greg Biafra get back up at exactly the same time and the angered Greg Biafra charges at Judge Death with a clothesline. Death ducks the attack and takes down Greg with a very strong right hand. Biafra gets back up and JD attempts to pick him up with a military press slam. When he gets Biafra above his head, he drops Biafra on his right shoulder and takes him down with a gorilla press slam!

JR: “Impressive strength by Judge Death! Very good maneuver.”

Judge Death taps his left arm a bit and goes to work on the challenger to his T.V. title. Death sends a couple boots to the face of Greg, and then picks him up. He sends two hard shots towards the gut and then sends the new guy into the corner. Judge Death does a sick smile and charges at Greg. He hits him with a clothesline into the corner, then picks him up and drops him face first onto the turnbuckle. The dazed challenger stumbles back and forth as Judge Death hits the ropes. As soon as JD comes for an attack, Greg Biafra jumps up and takes the champion down with a solid hurracarana complete with a pin.

RK: “1…2..kickout by Judge Death. I got to say, a nice move from Greg there.”

As Judge death slowly starts to get up, he is met by some vicious kicks to his left arm. Greg takes him down with an arm drag once again, but this time holds onto the arm. He does a leg drop and then turns it into some sort of arm bar submission. The referee gets in position asking if JD wants to quit, but the resilient champion screams no.

About 50 seconds later, JD shows signs of life as he gets up. Biafra starts to get a bit nervous and wraps both legs around Judge’s left arm, then pulls as hard as he can, hoping JD will give up. Judge Death still does not quit; in fact he is on both feet now. With his eyes closed, he shows unbelievable strength and holds the 238 lbs man in the air. JD’s face is red with fury and shows it by slamming GB as hard as he can on the canvas. Greg immediately lets go and rolls all over the floor as JD smarts from the arm bar.

JD awaits Greg to get on both feet. Greg does in fact get up, but is taken down with a Russian Leg sweep. He holds on and picks up his opponent, gets behind him, and does it once more. Judge Death still holds on and picks up his dazed opponent again, only this time he uses his power and rams the back of Greg Biafra’s head into the mat with a half nelson suplex.

JR: “Bah Gawd, Greg is done for, he already looks knocked out.”
RK: “Yeah, this doesn’t look good for Greg here.”

The X-WCW television champion smirks and signals for the end of the match. He starts to skip around Greg a bit until he gets right in front of the fallen wrestlers head. Judge Death then falls into a double knee drop…right onto Greg’s face. Greg’s feet kick up from the pain he just experienced. Judge Death then helps Greg up to his feet, pulls his right arm back and sends it as hard as he can just below Greg’s rib cage.

JR: “Touch of Death! Bah Gawd that move looks painful ‘ALL’ the time I see it!”
RK: “Man, this match is indeed over.”

As Greg falls to the ground twitching and gasping for air, Judge Death goes for the pin attempt.

JR: “1…2…3. The match is over, Judge Death has retained his X-WCW television championship.”
RK: “I knew he was going to win, that guy had no chance. This match was pretty quick too.”

THII: “The winner of this bout and still X-WCW television champion….JUUUUUUUUDGE DEAAAAAAATH!!!”

The fans pop hard as “Out Of The Silent Planet” by Iron Maiden plays throughout the arena. The referee hands Judge Death his championship and JD smiles while holding it up with his right hand. His celebration is cut short however when “The Crows” by Dark Lotus cuts on; canceling out his own music. Judge Death looks around, awaiting his rival to appear anywhere near him, but the music keeps playing. All of a sudden, Seith Hellocts voice is heard throughout the arena.

SH: “Well…well…well, so the ‘champ’ survives another match huh?”

RK: “That is Seith Hellocts voice! Where the hell is he?”
JR: “Good question King.”

JD nods his head and smirks as he continues to attempt to spot SH.

SH: “I’m getting sick and tired of you walking around with that belt Judge Death. You don’t deserve it…at all. It is time for someone to be the Judge of your own death, and I want to be that person. So listen up, at the X-rumble, I want you 1 on 1 for a shot at your X-WCW television championship.”

Judge Death, who has a microphone in his hand now, replies.

JD: “Thatssss your problem weak mortal. I have become the essssesssence of death itself, no one, but I are eligible to construct it. I ssshall indeed give you a chanccce, on one condition. If I mussst see your face, I want to indeed make sssure it is the last time I will ever see you breathing. I want to rest assssure that you will never stand again….you and me in a lasssst man standing match!!”

The crowd pops big for this. These two superstars have a very bloody rivalry right now and a last man standing match could be the possible end of this feud and also might be the end of a career.

JR: Bah Gawd, these fans really want to see this! Will Seith have the testicular fortitude to accept?”

SH: “I accept. Know this Judge Death, your hours are numbered.”

Smoke then comes into the ring fogging up the entire area. Nobody can see inside of the ring at all now, but then a hard smashing sound is heard. When the smoke clears, Seith Helloct is standing over a downed Judge Death with a steel chair in hand.

JR: “That son of a b****! He attacks Judge Death from behind ‘AFTER’ his match!”
RK: “Wow that was a great move.”

SH starts to count with his fingers until he gets to 10. Death is still knocked out while Seith holds both open hands in the air, then points them at Judge Death signaling the same fate will happen at the X-rumble. EMT’s come to the aid of Judge Death as Seith Helloct leave the ring.

JR: “Folks, I am sorry that you had to bare witness such a heinous assault. I guarantee…I guaran-damn-tee that Judge Death will get his revenge against Seith Helloct.
RK: “I honestly don’t think so. If he couldn’t get up in 10 seconds now, what makes you think he will at the X-Rumble.”
JR: “You wait and see Randall. You wait and see.”

Backstage

We go backstage to see Justin Sane pushing a cart with some huge black box. He stops on the hallways and opens up the box to hop onto it. He looks at the nearby stage hand and shouts.

Justin: “MAN! Can you help me out here? Just shove it as hard as you can so I can go downhill from here”

The man shakes his head for a while and sighs before he eventually approaches the cart of Justin. Before he could do Justin’s wishes, the hallway lights go dark for a few seconds. Once it opens back, Justin Sane feels someone behind him inside the box. He slowly turns around and is shocked to see Rayne Bloodstone herself.

Justin: “G-g-g-g-GHOST!”

Justin leans on the edge of the box, looking a bit scared for a few seconds, until he realized it was no ghost but it was the girl he saw last show. Sane slowly laughs and points at her.

Justin: “Damn it, girl, you almost scared me there! So, what brings you here?”

Rayne just keeps silent for a while after Justin asked her. After a few more seconds, Justin grins and asks again.

Justin: “Saaaay! You wouldn’t be here to give me a goodluck kiss for tonight against Mr. All American now would you? That’s INSANE! You, a friend of that guy I tried to challenge last show, kissing me…that’s even way to insane for ME!”

Rayne finally stops being silent and lets out a very subtle laughter before she speaks to Justin.

Rayne: “Foolish boy, I come here to do no such thing. I’m just here to tell you, just because your new, doesn’t mean I will take pity on fools like you.”

The lights go out again for a few seconds before it goes back up. Rayne disappears from the box and Justin notices something underneath his feet. He pulls it up and it turns out to be a black rose. Confused, he hops off the box for a while and looks at it while we go to a commercial break.

Non-Title Match
Sean Byrne vs Nightmare (c)

We go back to our regularly scheduled program as THII is inside the ring.

THII: “The following non-title match is scheduled for one fall!”

“Shout at the devil” by Motley Crue starts to play throughout the arena before we see a trap door on the stage opening with Sean Byrne jumping out to do some air guitar movements. He lands on the stage and goes down on one knee while he continues to air guitar to the fans utter delight.

THII: “Introducing first, from Boston Massachusetts, he weighs in at 265 lbs…..SEAN BYRNE!!!”

Byrne gets to his feet as the fans continue to cheer for him and makes his way down the rampway.

JR: “Sean Byrne is one of the fan favorites here in the X-WCW, King.”
RK: “And with no question about it either. This man drinks beer and does his job in the ring, kicking ass. Its no wonder that these fans like this one man ass kicking machine.”

Byrne gets into the ring and heads towards the corner. Once there, he raises both arms in the air to the delight of the fans before he does more air guitar actions to entertain them all. He slowly makes his way down the corner and waits for his opponent. “Go to sleep” hits the speakers and Nightmare makes his way into the ringside area.

THII: “And his opponent, he comes from your living nightmare, weighing in at 145 pounds...the current X-WCW Xtreme Champion...NIGHTMARE!!!”

The fans give a mixed reaction at the X-WCW Xtreme champion as he makes his way into the ringside area.

JR: “This man is one of the X-WCW’s most dangerous competitors to date. That belt around his waist means that he can take it to levels of the xtreme that we cant even imagine.”
RK: “Since the day he came here, JR, he has been nothing more than breaking down his opponent inside that ring with his kicks and punches. He is a living weapon, and when he finds a weapon, he also knows how to use it.”

Nightmare hops onto the apron and gets through the ropes to enter the ring. He unbuckles his X-WCW Xtreme title belt and holds it while he heads towards Sean Byrne. A couple of feet standing infront of Sean Byrne, Nightmare slowly hauls up his X-WCW Xtreme title belt and raises it up in the air as he stares down his opponent.

JR: “The match has not even started, but Nightmare has made a statement already at Byrne with that belt being lifted in the air.”

Nightmare slowly pulls down the belt and hands it to the referee before he heads back to his side of the ring. Nightmare slumps down on the opposite corner and sits on the bottom turnbuckle, ala Raven. A few more seconds later, we hear the bell ringing.

RK: “There goes the bell, and the match has officially started, JR!”

Nightmare pulls himself up from the corner and both men head into the middle of the ring to start off this match. The Xtreme champ raises one of his hands in the air to signal Sean to do a test of strength. Sean, a bit unsure of what to do, looks at the outstretched hand of Nightmare in the air before he shrugs and tries to reach for it. Once he grabs the hand in the air, however, Nightmare quickly delivers a hard kick to the side of Sean. With Nightmare holding one of Sean’s hand, he continues to deliver a couple of hard kicks to the side of Sean before he lets go and takes him down with a spinning kick right across the face.

JR: “Nightmare cheated on that! He tricked Sean into initiating a test of strength, and in the end, he sneaked in some of those nasty kicks.”
RK: “Haha! I like this man!”

The fans boo a bit at Nightmare while he picks up Sean. Sean, while being hauled up, fights back with some hard forearms right on the abdominal area of Nightmare. He gets to his feet grabs Nightmare by the head before he delivers a couple of knee strikes right on the forehead of the Xtreme champ. With Nightmare stunned, Sean Byrne bounces off the ropes. On his way back, however, Nightmare catches him with a drop toehold. Sean falls face first on the mat and rolls around while he holds his face.

RK: “Whoa, I think Sean busted his nose with that hard crash towards the mat.”

Nightmare picks up Sean Byrne and sends him towards the corner. Sean hits the corner hard with his back and stays there as Nightmare approaches him. Nightmare reaches Sean and starts to unload some hard forearms right on the face of his opponent. He backs up and connects with a running knee lift right on the face of Sean Byrne for him to fall face first yet again on the mat.

JR: “The Xtreme champion, absolutely punishing Sean Byrne in this matchup early on.”
RK: “He wants to set the pace right now, JR, he likes to impose his will onto the whole match.”

Nightmare has a smirk on his face while he just looks at the fallen Sean Byrne. After a while, Sean slowly picks himself up by the use of the ropes. Nightmare approaches him, but is met by a hard elbow right on the face for his troubles. Sean Byrne faces Nightmare and delivers some hard clubs to the back before he takes him down with a bodyslam. Byrne waits for Nightmare to get up before he hits him with some hard punches to the gut and sends him back on the mat with a suplex.

JR: “Byrne using some simple moves on Nightmare, but it looks effective to keep him on the ground.”
RK: “Nightmare controlled the early moments of this match with his lightning fast kicks, but I guess Sean’s power punches and impact moves could help him slow down the Xtreme Champ.

Sean Byrne picks up Nightmare, only to receive a poke in the eye from the Xtreme Champion. Nightmare delivers some hard punches to the gut of Sean before he sends him bouncing off the ropes. On Byrne’s return from the ropes, Nightmare tries to deliver a spinning wheel kick, although Byrne avoids it. Nightmare turns around and he is hit by a rather hard haymaker from Sean Byrne. With Nightmare stunned, Byrne grabs him and does an incredible C4 move.

JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! Byrne just planted him on the mat with his specialty move called the ‘revolving door’!”
RK: “That wasn’t revolving, JR, that was like a door kicked from the inside out!”

Nightmare is down on the mat while Sean Byrne covers him up for the count.

JR: “Here is the pinfall 1..2..and Nightmare kicks out just in time!”
RK: “That was a close call there, JR! Had Nightmare been pinned, this wouldn’t look good for the champ at all.”

Byrne picks up Nightmare and backs him into the corner. There, he delivers some hard shoulder charges to the mid-section region of the Xtreme Champion. After a while, Byrne backs up and charges again towards the corner where Nightmare is located, but he is met by a foot on the face. Byrne is stunned and Nightmare goes to the top rope. Nightmare flies off the corner and connects with a flying crossbody pin on Sean Byrne.

JR: “Crossbody from the top rope and Nightmare pins Sean Byrne. Oh wait a second, Byrne takes the momentum and reverses the pin! Here it is 1,2,3! OH MY GOOD AUNT SEAN BYRNE WINS!”
RK: “Wh-what in the name of all holy?!”

The bell rings, signaling the end of the match and both men get to their feet.

THII: “The winner by pinfall, SEAN BYRNE!!!”

“Shout at the devil” by Motley Crue plays while the referee approaches Sean Byrne and raises his hand in victory. The defeated Nightmare just looks in shock before he grabs a nearby mic and speaks as the stage hand gives him the X-WCW Xtreme Belt.

NM: “Cut the damn music!”

With the music cut, Nightmare approaches Sean Byrne and glares at him.

NM: “Clearly, your win against me tonight was nothing more than a fluke. Such luck on your part just disgusts me. To me, you don’t deserve anything more than a good old beating and a trashing. However, you pulled off another lucky one tonight Sean, but it would end from here. You want my Xtreme title so bad Sean? You wanna put anything infront of the table just to get a piece of this?!”

He raises his belt in the air before he continues.

NM: “At the X Rumble, I will challenge you to a submission match. Its nothing that hard, Sean, you gotta make me tap out. So Mr. Rocker, are you in or out?”

NM pulls down his belt as Sean approaches him and quickly snatches the mic. With a grin, Sean gives him an answer.

Sean: “YOURE ON, BITCH!”

Sean shoves the mic back on the chest of Nightmare before he walks back and grins at the Xtreme champion.

JR: “It seems like not only will their match be an X-Rumble qualifier match, it would be a submission match as well.”
RK: “I am not sure if that was a wise decision done there by Sean Byrne. Nightmare is a skilled wrestler when it comes to submission. All Sean has is the boston crab.”
JR: “Who knows, King? Maybe Sean has a few more submission holds hidden inside his sleeves.”
RK: “For his sake, he better have.”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break.

We go back from the commercial break and “Immortal” by Adema blares through the speakers as Mr. Back comes out to the ringside area. The fans give him a mixed reaction, but mostly boos since this IS Detroit, the place of the infamous Indiana Pacers/Detroit Pistons brawl of 2004.

JR: “The Detroit fans are certainly not so comfortable in receiving Christopher Back here, a native in Indianapolis.”
RK: “The funny thing here is, JR, Mr. Back AINT a member of the Pacers yet these idiots still boo him!”

Chris Back, who looks all dressed up with a light brown suit and some white underneath the suit, walks down the rampway and has his sunglasses-covered eyes directed towards the ring. He makes his way up the ring steps and gets in through the ropes before Terri Hotbody II hands him the microphone. His music is cut off as he pulls up the mic and speaks.

CB: “Tonight, I aint gonna come out here and address that my match with Tony Bonito is nearing. I don’t have the time to do that and explain to that mutton headed Olympian just how badly I will beat him to a pulp when we meet at the X Rumble. What I will do tonight, however, is to give YOU the fans a huge announcement for tonight and for the X Rumble itself.”

The fans now give out a pop as CB pauses for a while and takes off his shades before he continues.

RK: “Wow JR! Those are oakleys he’s wearing! I’d love to buy those for sunglasses!”
JR: “Christopher Back is ‘xtremely fashionable’ tonight, but we all know that he too can be ‘xtremely brutal’ when it comes to the ring.”

CB: “Tonight, some of the matches will be qualifying match for the X-WCW 15 man X Rumble. These qualifiers will be divided into two categories, 5 singles and 5 tag team matches. As stated in the website, these matches will show different pairings of tag teams and singles wrestler. In other words, if you’re a tag team, there is a BIG chance for you to face your own partner on the opposite corner tonight or at the X Rumble. Another note I need to remind you all, the X Rumble qualifiers also involve the X-WCW Titles such as the tag team titles, the television and the xtreme titles! If you retain or win those belts, your automatically going to the X Rumble match.”

RK: “OH MY GOD! THAT’S GREAT! Title matches, and if you win, your going straight to the x rumble after this announcement!”

The fans cheer for a while as CB pauses.

CB: “As I said, we will continue the qualifiers at the X Rumble. For the FINAL tag team match, however, there will be a twist. There will be a ‘Second Chance Lottery’ in which the names of the losers in all of the first 9 wualifying match will be placed inside a lottery basket. We will draw two names from that lottery basket and the first name will be R.E. Rage's partner and the second will be TRD's partner! So win or lose on the first 9 matches, everyone still gets a shot at the X Rumble!”

The fans cheer loud while CB just stands there and waits for them to die down.

CB: “On the X-Tron, here are the names that were drawn and placed into the matches for the qualifiers.”

The camera shows the X-Tron which lists the following matches.

CB tries to speak again, but an explosion of pyros on the stage interrupts him and some eerie piano music fills in the air. The lights go dim and red spotlights follow the Stix Brothers as they make their way down the ramp.

RK: “H-hey! Well would you look at who came outta the curtains, JR! Its my favorite new team, the stix brothers! Theres big walking stix and little fiddle stix!”
JR: “Its Damien and Dante Stix, ok King?”
RK: “BAH! I call them how I want them!”

The Stix Brothers enter the ring and stand infront of Christopher Back. The lights go back up as CB just looks at them sheepishly and pulls up his mic.

CB: “Alright, what the hell do you two want?”

The Stix Brothers get a mic of their own before Dante talks.

Dante: “Its really simple Mr. Back..heheh..WHERE ARE WE IN THE LIST?!”

Damien just stands behind his smaller brother with arms crossed as both men wait for CB’s response. However, he gets interrupted yet again as we hear “Land of confusion” by disturbed hitting the speakers as Fragile Minds enter the ringside area.

JR: “Not only are the stix here, but we can see the team of Vanish and Thornn here with their usual suits.”
RK: “And look at Absinthe! WOWIE! That’s one good looking dress.”

The three members of Fragile Minds enter the ringside area and the Stix divert their attention towards the newly arrived team.

JR: “Remember, King, these two teams had a fight during the TLC match with Fragile Minds and The Hunters. Who knows if these three would like to get their revenge on the Stix right now.”
RK: “Obviously, Fragile Minds never forgive and forget those who do injustice to them in their view.”

Vanish grabs a mic and points at CB.

V: “If you would actually listen to those masked morons right there, you bloody well listen to us first. Mr. Back, we didn’t win last Warzone to get the right to face your team of Starstorm, because of them *points at the stix brothers*. Now granted, we did have a shot at the title and at the qualifying match, but its thanks to these masked fools in this ring that we didn’t. I suggest you give us what we want, or we will take these matters into our own hands, Mr. Back.”

Thornn just has a smirk on his face while Absinthe lets out a little purr while Vanish pulls down his mic as Dante and Damien do not look a bit pleased with what was said.

Dante: “So you call us fools and morons huh Vanish? Well its not only you who can play with words here in this ring mister man. If you dare make fun of me and my brother again due to our disfigured faces, then we too will disfigure your faces and make you three see how IT feels to be made fun of with your appearances!”

Vanish and Dante throw their mics to the ground as both teams are primed to fight, however, we see CB stepping in between them as he speaks.

CB: “I’d love a little violence here and there, but there will be NONE as of now gentlemen..and lady. Now for the stix brothers, you both weren’t signed yet when the booking committee decided who was in it. Fragile Minds, you also have the same fate, but if you did win it would have made you shoot into the qualifiers on the PPV itself. So here’s the compromise for you two teams, on the X Rumble, it will be The Stix Brothers against Fragile Minds for the NUMBER ONE CONTENDERSHIP FOR THE X-WCW WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES!”

The two teams seem pleased with it so is the whole crowd who are now cheering. Vanish gathers up the mic and picks it up to speak.

V: “Glad that we could fix this sorta mess, Mr. Back. Thank you…”

Fragile Minds leave the ringside area as CB watches them leave. Once the trio was gone from the ring, CB turns around and eyes the Stix Brothers who just have smiles in their faces. Dante approaches CB and shakes his hand gleefully and squeals the following sentence.

Dante: “THANKS MR. BACK! ME AND DAMIEN LIKE THIS IDEA!”

The two brothers leave ringside as we see CB a bit disgusted by the handshake and he pulls out a handkerchief just to wipe it out of his hands.

JR: “It seems to me, King, that Christopher Back made a lot of people happy tonight with his announcements.”
RK: “Yeah, for an Indy guy, he is certainly being cheered here in a place where they wont be.”
JR: “Well folks, we will go on a break, stay tuned for more action!”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as CB steps out of the ring apron.

X Rumble Qualifiing Match
The Renegade Ron Michaels vs Reaper

“Hurt” by Johnny Cash begins playing through the arena. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to the man that walks into the arena. He makes his way to the ring with a solemn look on his face.

THII: “The following contest is an X Rumble Qualifying match here the winner will advance to the 15 man X Rumble. Introducing first, from out west: he weighs in at 276 pounds, “The Renegade” Ron Michaels!”

The Renegade enters the ring and removes the duster and hat he wore to the ring. He hands them to the outside as he awaits his opponent.

The next competitor is revealed when “Toxicity” by System of a Down plays and the Reaper appears on the ramp.

“His opponent, from parts unknown, weighing 255 pounds, The Reaper!”

JR: “Two young hungry lions are stepping up to the plate tonight for a shot at the X Rumble to try to earn a World Title shot.”

The bell rings and the two men charge at each other. Reaper ducks, but Michaels reaches back and pulls Reaper down with a neckbreaker. He goes for a quick cover.

JR: “First cover of this contest. 1,2, and a kick out.”

RK: “Michaels tried that too early. Reaper is a big man to be taken down sop quick.”

JR: “Ron Michaels quickly takes up the offense with a series of fists to the back of Reaper.”

Michaels pulls Reaper up and Irish whips him over to the corner. He follows and connects with a hard clothesline in the corner. Reaper drops down to his knees. Michaels backs up and boots Reaper in the head. Reaper falls over. Michaels turns him over and goes for a pin.

JR: “Another pin attempt. 1,2, and Reaper gets his foot on the rope at the last second.”

RK: “Michaels is getting frustrated. Reaper’s gonna pounce on that real quick.”

JR: “Reaper is a big strong man. Michaels can’t afford to leave an opening.”

Michaels is irritated and gets in the refs face for a second. The ref points out that the foot was on the rope. While this is going on, Reaper gets to his feet. He does it slowly, using the ropes to help him up. Michaels grabs him for a hip toss, but Reaper is still holding the ropes. Michaels tries it again, but Reaper won’t move. Reaper steps over and delivers a hip toss with authority. He quickly steps over and locks on an armbar.

RK: “I told you reaper would take advantage of an opening real soon.”

JR: “Armbar by the big man Reaper. He’s really twisting it in with his size and upper body strength. The ref is asking Michaels if he wants to give up.”

While the ref is staring at Michaels, Reaper leans back and uses the ropes to leverage the armbar. Michaels is writhing in pain. The ref looks up to see Reaper cheating. He begins a five count and Reaper breaks at four. Reaper then lets go and uses his arm as a club to the chest of Ron Michaels.

JR: “Michaels reeling over in pain as Reaper takes the opportunity to kick Michaels right in the kidneys.”

The shot sends Michaels onto his back. Reaper grabs the leg of Michaels and lands several targeted shots to the groin. He then sets the leg down and dops his weight onto the knee of Michaels. Reaper goes for a cover of his own, but Michaels gets the shoulder up at two.

Michaels is on his knees as he tries to get up. Reaper grabs him, but Michaels responds with several fists to the ribs of Reaper. He then grabs Reaper’s head and gives him a jawbreaker.

JR: “Michaels reaching deep down with that desperation jawbreaker. He’s looking to turn the advantage to his favor.”

Michaels quickly rolls up the downed Reaper, but only gets a 2 count. Michaels grabs Reaper by the head. He rolls Reaper over and pulls him up. He then connects with a couple of knees to the chest of Reaper. He throws Reaper to the other corner, but the knee begins to bother Michaels. He takes a few moments to get to the corner, but Reaper is ready for him with a boot to the face.

RK: “That momentary lapse by Michaels cost him big time. Reaper preying on weakness again.”

Reaper scoops Michaels up and locks him up in a tree of woe. Reaper then begins stomping the chest of Michaels. That is followed by a couple of shots to the knee of Michaels.

JR: “Reaper is really focusing on that knee of Ron Michaels.”

RK: “He knows Michaels can pull his Wild Kick out of just about anywhere. He wants to neutralize that leg.”

JR: “Very sound strategy I must admit.”

Reaper backs off Michaels. He walks over to the other corner and runs back at full speed. He jumps and connects with a drop kick to Michaels. Michaels falls off the turnbuckle and lands on his face. Reaper turns him over and goes for a cover. The ref counts two then sees Michaels grab the bottom rope.

JR: “Great ring presence by Michaels grabbing the bottom rope.”

RK: “Reaper can’t believe that Michaels keeps getting up.”

JR: “Why wouldn’t he. A shot at the X Rumble is on the line. The winner will get a shot to compete for a World Title shot. You don’t get those shots very often. You have to take advantage of them.”

Michaels is now up as well. Reaper tosses him over to the ropes, but Michaels manages to grab the ropes. Reaper charges, but Michaels pulls the ropes down and Reaper goes over. Michaels shakes off the leg for a moment as Reaper struggles to get up. At the right moment, Michaels pulls himself over the ropes and drops right on top of Reaper.”

Both men begin to stir. They grab each other mid way up. They begin to exchange fists as they struggle for control. Reaper grabs Michaels and throws him in to the barricade. The force is thunderous and Michaels is reeling.

JR: “Viscous shot by Reaper. Michaels could have broken a rib with that much force.”

RK: “It definitely took the wind out of him.”

Reaper drapes Michaels over the barricade. He lays into him with a series of forearm clubs to the back and ribs.

Michaels falls down to the floor. Reaper picks him up and rams him into the ring. A second shot soon follows.

Michaels gets thrown back into the ring and Reaper goes for a pin.

JR: “Reaper with the pin. 1,2, not quite as Michaels continues to dig down deep.”

Reaper takes advantage of the situation and rolls Michaels over and locks on the Hells Gate.

JR: “Reaper has that double leg Boston crab he calls the Hells Gate locked onto Ron Michaels. That is not good on those already battered and bruised ribs of Michaels.”

RK: “Reaper had a purpose with that focused attack and now we can see it.”

Michaels is in the middle of the ring writhing in pain. The ref asks if he wants to submit. Michaels refuses. He begins to crawl to the ropes. Reaper pulls forward, but Michaels is able to crawl closer. The pain shooting through Michaels’ body can be heard in his cries of agony. After a few moments of struggling, Michaels manages to get to the ropes.

JR: “The referee begins his five count and Reaper wisely breaks it off at four. A five count would have cost Reaper that golden opportunity.”

Michaels gets up slowly. Reaper grabs him and tosses him at the ropes. He goes for a clothesline and Michaels ducks it. He nails him with an impromptu DDT and goes for a cover.

1,2, but Reaper gets the shoulders up.

RK: “Reaper still in this one. Michaels can’t have much more left in the tank.

Reaper gets up and Michals is ready with a boot to the gut. He tosses Reaper off the ropes, but this time Reaper is the one who ducks the attack. But when Reaper turns around he is greeted with the Wild Kick from Michaels.

JR: “Wild Kick out of nowhere. Bah Gawd! What an impact. Michaels with the cover: 1,2,3! He got it!”

THII: “Here is your winner and advancing to the X Rumble, “The Renegade” Ron Michaels!”

JR: “What a match! We’ll have more when we return.”

Ron Michaels celebrates his victory as “Hurt” plays over the speakers.
X Rubmle Qualifying Match
Bruce Ganser vs De’Si Nidea

JR: “Folks, we’re back with another X Rumble qualifier. This is definitely going to be an interesting one.”

THII: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 295 pounds, Bruce Ganser!”

“Next Contestant” by Nickelback plays and the 6’7” Bruce Ganser enters the arena. He runs up to the ropes and leaps up to the ring apron before entering the ring over the top rope. He poses with an intimidating look waiting for his opponent.

The sounds of the London Symphony Orchestra’s Star Wars theme play and the next competitor is introduced.

THII: “From Commenor, weighing in at 180 pound, De’Si Nidea!”

The unusual Nidea makes his way to the ring with a good crowd reaction. He enters the ring, and it is quickly seen that Ganser has a distinct weight and height advantage. Nidea climbs the ropes to address the fans and Ganser cracks him in the back to start the mach. The bell rings and Ganser has the advantage.

JR: “Ganser taking it early for this shot at the X Rumble.”

RK: “That guy is piece of art. Just look at him.”

Nidea is reeling as Ganser starts clubbing him with a series of right hands to the back. He then throws Nidea into the ropes and levels him with a thunderous clothesline.

RK: “Cover by Ganser. 1,2, and Nidea gets the shoulder up. It’s gonna be a lot of work for Nidea to pull this off.

Nidea is pulled to his knees and he starts to go of with left and right fists. He fends off Ganser long enough to stand up and connect with a standing drop kick. Ganser is sent back into the ropes. He goes for a shot on Nidea, but the smaller man ducks and turns around. Ganser bounces off the ropes and charges again. Nidea jumps up and snaps Ganser down with a hurricanrana.

RK: “Great counter by Nidea. He hooks the leg. 1,2 and no. This match continues.”

JR: “That would have been the upset of the century if that skinny nerd would have won.”

Nidea unloads with several stomps to the downed Ganser and goes for an elbow, but Ganser turns and drives a knee into Nidea’s head as he comes down.

Both men are now staggering. Ganser gets up and grabs Nidea. He drills Nidea with a left knee to the forehead, followed up by a right. Ganser pulls Nidea up to his shoulders then falls into a Samoan backdrop.

Ganser gets up and applies the boot to Nidea. He goes for another cover, but only gets a 2 count.

JR: “Ganser pulls Nidea up and Irish whips him over to the ropes.”

RK: “Here he goes with that tackle. That nerd will squash.”

Ganser charges for a shoulder block tackle, but Nidea gets out of the way Ganser hits the turnbuckle at full force. He then rolls out of the ring.

JR: “Ganser to the outside to collect his bearing.”

It is all for naught. Nidea takes to the offense and jumps to the top rope. He jumps off and nails Ganser with a corkscrew that knocks the big man down. The two men stir on the floor. Nidea gets up first this time dropping the elbow onto Ganser.

Nidea gets back into the ring and waits for Ganser to get up. As the bigger man stirs to his feet, Nidea sets himself up. As Ganser looks up, Nidea throws himself over the ropes to splash down on his opponent. Ganser gathers it up and grabs Nidea then drills him into the turnbuckle.

JR: “Ganser showing his immense strength. Bah Gawd! He’s got Nidea lifted high.”

RK: “I wonder what he’s gonna do now.”

RK’s questions are answered when Ganser just throws Nidea back into the ring over the top rope.

JR: “Nidea is being thrown around like a rag doll.”

Ganser reenters the ring with a smug look on his face. Nidea is reeling in the ring. Ganser grabs him and chucks him into the corner. Ganser applies the boot to the throat and starts to choke Nidea.

JR: “The ref now utilizing his 5 count for the blatant choke and Ganser lifts it up at four. Five would have been a disqualification.”

Ganser moves toward his opponent again, but Nidea reaches up and pulls Ganser down face first into the turnbuckle. As Ganser holds his face in pain, Nidea grabs him and shoots off the ropes with the sliced bread #2. Ganser lands on his face again and Nidea rolls him up for a cover.

JR: “1,2, and not quite. Ganser powers out of it at two.”

RK: “That hoss is just too powerful for that little nerd to handle.”

Nidea stalks his opponent while he gets to his knees. Ganser looks up to see Nidea hit him with a shining wizard kick. Another cover attempt is made, but Ganser kicks out at two again.

JR: “And Nidea is still wondering what it’s going to take to keep Bruce Ganser down.”

Nidea goes for the wearing down approach as he locks in a knee on the back of Ganser and pulls hack on the chin.

JR: “New strategy from Nidea with that rear chin lock.”

Ganser starts to roll through the maneuver and gets to one of his knees. Ganser slowly gets up to his feet and starts to drive his elbow into the ribs of Nidea. He breaks the submission hold and whips Nidea to the ropes. Nidea ducks under a clothesline, only to be hit with an inverted atomic drop on the next bounce of the ropes. Ganser follows that up with a flying forearm smash to knock Nidea down.

RK: “Here it comes James, 1,2, How did he do that! I can’t believe he just kicked out.”

JR: “Heart and determination Randall. Nidea wants in the X Rumble really bad.”

Ganser is visibly frustrated now. He goes over and climbs the ropes. He scouts Nidea as he gets up to his feet. Ganser flies for the elevated body splash,.

JR: “High risk from Ganser. Bah Gawd! Nidea knocks him down from midair with a pele kick.”

Ganser hits the ground with a thud and Nidea goes for the cover.

JR: “1,2,3! He got it. Nidea advances to the X rumble.”

THII: “Here is your winner, De’Si Nidea!”

Nidea celebrates his win on the outside of the ring as several wookies emerge from the locker room to celebrate with the nerd.

RK: “I still can’t believe that just happened. I also can’t believe the little nerd’s victory celebration.”

JR: “Believe it or not. Nidea has just advanced to the X Rumble and we’ve still got more to come here on Doubleshot.”

X Rumble Qualyfying match
No DQ match
Justin Sane vs Mr. All American

THII: “The following contest is a No disqualification match set for one fall! The winner of this match will be entered into the X-Rumble!! This match will be under a 20 minute time-limit, introducing first…”

“Rebirthing” by Skillet hits the speakers and the X-WCW new comer hits the stage…trading punches with Rocky “The Real American” Davis!! Justin Sane, who is back first towards the ramp way, ducks a clothesline and sends a boot “in between the lion” and Rocky bends over holding his crotch. Justin backs up and charges, diving into Rocky Davis and sending both of them tumbling down the ramp. The crowd cheers in amazement as of how the match started while the two superstars roll down the ramp.

JR: “Bah gawd, Terri didn’t even get a chance to announce the participants! Folks, if you have just tuned in and have no idea who these two are, the small male over there is Justin Sane wh-“
RK: “While the big okay looking one is Rocky Dufus. There you go JR.”
JR: “Rocky Davis…”

The two finally get to the floor and both stagger up. Justin Sane sends some left hands to Real American’s jaw, but Mr. Davis blocks one with his left hand and backhands Justin with his free hand. Rocky wastes no time and scoops Justin Sane up, then drops him face first onto the guarding rail with a Undertaker style snake eyes. Sane groggily turns around and gets floored with a botched STO. Sane lands awkwardly on the back of his neck while Rocky attempts a cover.

JR: “What a vicious STO! 1..2..kickout by Justin Sane.”
RK: “This is going to be a loooong night for Justin. This guy actually is an entire foot taller then him.”

Rocky gets up not affected that his opponent kicked out and sends some boots to the stomach. He then shoves one right on his throat and holds it in a choke form while the referee begins the count and by 4 in a half, our “Real American” lets go. Davis heads towards the corner and screams for Sane to get up, and the insane one does just that.

RK: “My gosh, I actually think that Real American is a good wrestler. He’s a big guy who has worked hard and improved from being retarded to…well not so retarded.”
JR: “Your right, he has stepped up to the plate…a lot. But I STILL think he could be semi-retarded.”

Sane crawls to the adjacent corner and gets up and turns around to a charging Rocky Davis. Davis dives in for a shoulder tackle, but Sane uses his athletics to jump up forcing Rocky to slam his arm into the turnbuckle, lock both legs around Davis’s body and roll in for a sunset flip (like Booker T use to do).

RK: “1…2…kickout by Real American! He almost had a surprise loss there JR!”

Sane, now running on adrenaline energy allows his surprised/angry opponent to arise. Rocky goes for a clothesline and Sane ducks it. He comes back up with two snap jabs, dodges a haymaker and hits American with 2 more snap jabs. Rocky staggers back as Justin riles up with more shots to the face. Justin then backs up after another vicious combo and takes Rocky down with a standing Hurracarana!

The X-WCW newcomer quickly sends some boots to a rolling Rocky Davis, and the big guy rolls under the ring to escape. Justin Sane smiles and jumps on the bottom rope, to the middle rope with a spin, spins again and stands on the top rope backwards and does a corkscrew moonsault landing onto his opponent on the outside! The crowd chant “X-WCW” over and over as we go to a replay from Sane.

JR: “What a beautiful moonsault! I haven’t seen one done that perfect in a long time, this Justin Sane character is a highflyer alright. Or he is just insane.”
RK: “Wow, you must be getting very old JR. We already know his name is Justin Sane.”
JR: “No, I mean he is just insane…crazy.”
RK: “I know his name is Justin Sane!! Jeez JR..”

As the two announcers argue, Sane is pummeling Rocky “Real American” Davis on the outside. He slams his head on the barrier and allows Davis to fall back. Then he uses his momentum to take him down with a German Suplex…on the freakin floor!! With a barely conscious Rocky Davis laid out, Justin immediately digs under the ring for some weapons. He finds himself a steel chair, a wrench, a steering wheel, the rim to a car, and a long glass sheet. He grabs the wrench from the floor and turns around to a barely standing Rocky Davis. Davis is bashed in the head with the wrench and dropped to the floor.

The cameraman pans onto Davis’s face and spots that he is busted open. Justin wastes no time and continues the assault before opening the steel chair. Sane smiles and climbs into the ring, then heads to the other side. While this happens, Rocky Davis starts to gather himself together. Justin Sane sees Rocky Davis start to stand up and heads towards the ring. He curses quietly to himself as he climbs in, and then starts sending the boots to his larger opponent.

Sane helps Davis up and slaps him across the face. He then sends him into the ropes. With Rocky on the rebound, Sane jumps up for a Lou Thez press, but Rocky catches him in mid-air. The “Real American” runs towards the end of the ring and slams Sane outside onto the floor! The crowd aww’s in shock as Sane grabs his back and screams in absolute pain. Sane is outside while Rocky drops to one knee so he can catch his breath.

As about a minute goes by, Rocky gets up and heads to the small insane one. Blood just slowly dripping from his forehead, he climbs out of the ring kicks Justin in the side of his head. Justin grabs his head and screams as Rocky picks him up and puts him in head scissor position.

JR: “BOOM! A scary looking piledriver from Rocky Davis!”
RK: “This doesn’t look good for Justin Sane.”

Sane is now laid out on the floor with his opponent doing the same right next to him. The referee starts to count until both superstars to stand at 8. Rocky sends a hard right to the chin of Sane that knocks him down, but Sane gets back up…with a chair in hand. Sane whacks Rocky so hard that even he falls down from the impact. Justin gets up and unfolds the chair again, this time hoping he does what he wanted. He drags Rocky towards the chair then blots inside of the ring. He stands on the other side of the ring waiting and hoping for his adversary to stand on his two feet.

JR: “What is this insane kid doing now? This is the second time he has done this strange set-up.”
RK: “Well let’s see, why don’t you shut the hell up and wait.”

Rocky Davis starts to get to his feet after 40 seconds of bleeding on the floor. He uses the nearby chair to help stand him on his own two feet. Justin Sane smiles and jumps up and down before running to the other side and jumping about 3 feet before he got to the ring ropes. He jumps clean over, but Rocky suspected he would attempt it. As Justin Sane comes head first at Rocky, Real American jumps up and catches him in a headlock and DDT’s him into the blunt of the chair…in mid air!!

JR: “BAH GAWD THE DESTRUCTION! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!!!”
RK: “Holy sh**!!! He did not just do that!!!”

The crowd responds with holy sh** chants as Rocky Davis and his equally bloodied opponent Justin Sane lay bleeding on the floor. Rocky “Real American” Davis slowly gets up and wobbles to his opponent. He uses all the strength he can muster to drag Justin’s near lifeless body into the ring. He slides in and goes for a pinfall attempt.

RK: “1…2…3, this match is over.”
JR: “Oh my, that was what you call a match!”

THII: “The winner of this bout by pinfall and latest entry into the X-Rumble…Rocky “Real American” DAAAVIIIIISSS!!!”

“Cocky” by Kid Rock hits the speakers and of course the crowd boo’s. Some cheer thanks to their newfound respect for the once feeble minded Rocky “Real American” Davis, but they have a reason too. It seems that Rocky “Real American” Davis is finally come to business and realamerican is no more.

JR: “That was one hell fought victory for the new and improved Real American. I am actually anxious to see more of this kid.”
RK: “No doubt JR, he is pretty good. I liked his moves a lot, he could go far JR...for a half wit I mean.”
JR: “Anyway, more action coming your way.”

”The Young Zone” with Sandy Drake

We go back to ringside as the ring already has some black carpeting on the mat with a round table in the middle. Inside the ring, we see about four stools sitting on the ring while there is a lone lazy boy that is in the middle of the setup. Just then, “Top of the world” by the All American Rejects hits the speakers and TYO enters the ringside area wearing a white t-shirt and jeans and he tops it off with a black leather vest with ‘TYO’ written on a patch. TYO makes his way down the ramp as the fans cheer the host of the show.

JR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot! Right now, we are having ourselves the second edition of Sandy Drake’s “THE YOUNG ZONE”! We saw Karl Baller and The Great One during its premier, now it looks like the guests will come pouring tonight.”
RK: “The set seemed to be downgraded from three couches into one and 4 metallic stools beside it. Hey JR, you think someone stole the other two layzboys?”
JR: “I am not too keen on X-WCW props, so beats me what happened to it.”

The Young One finally makes his way inside the ring as the fans continue to cheer for him. His music gets cut as he is handed a microphone by a ringside staffer.

TYO: “Welcome, one and all, to the second edition of The Young Zone. Now as you may know, this is the show where you need to tune in to find out the latest news here in the X-WCW. Not only will you get to find out the things that are going on, but you will get to see and hear what my guests have to say on the topic matter. Now the first edition brought us The Thrillaz and since then, I got on the losing end of the stick once I faced Karl Baller. Now even though I lost, I gotta hand it to Karl cause he put up one helluva fight!”

The fans cheer before TYO continues to speak.

TYO: “So since last show dwelled on the US title, tonight’s show will handle another title scene. Tonight, the Young Zone ventures on the top prize of them all..The X-WCW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Now I will go on to introduce my first guest of the show. In his stay here in the X-WCW, he has also garnered several titles such as the Television and Tag team titles. Infact, he also co-winner of the 2005 Rookie of the Year award. In regards to the X-WCW World Championship, he seems to be the most knowledgeable wrestler today about the title, since he IS the X-WCW World Champion right now. He is one of the biggest slackers I know in this world, yet is also one of the greatest wrestlers of his time, IGNAVUS!!!”

“Clint Eastwood” hits the speakers and the X-WCW World Champion comes down the ring with the X-WCW belt on his shoulders. The champ is seen dressed in a green, pink, and violently violet tux, with a pirate-ruffled shirt, and tennis shoes while he makes his way down the ramp.

RK: “Is it just me, or was that the same thing he wore 2 years ago at the awards ceremony?”
JR: “Is it just me, King, or have you turned into the fashion police tonight?”
RK: “Hey, I just pointed out the obvious here, JR, I aint critiquing it! I swear!”

Ignavus makes his way inside the ring and he raises his X-WCW belt high in the air for a few moments. He pulls down the belt and perches it back up on his shoulder as he approaches TYO and they shake hands.

TYO: “Wow! Would you people look at our champ, looking dressed to kill huh Igz?”

Igz has a sheepish grin and just shrugs his shoulders before he gets the spare mic.

Igz: “Got a bit lazy on what I could wear here on your show, so hey, I just decided to go on with my look during the X-WCW awards. Although I lost my spinning bowtie, I’m glad I didn’t lose my pants.”

A few of the fans laugh, while most of the arena sounds like there were crickets chirping around.

Igz: “Ok, so it wasn’t THAT funny of a joke…”

Ignavus slumps down on the lone lazyboy as TYO continues to stand up and have the mic on his hand.

TYO: “Anyways, our next guest isn’t a slouch either when it comes to awards. In X-WCW History, he has been the only one to be the two time ‘con man of the x-wcw’ award winner. He has garnered the X-WCW Tag Team, United States and Television Titles in his stay here. In the realm of World Championships, he was the last X-WCW wrestler to be the world champ before our current Ignavus. I present to you, the former X-WCW World Champion, OTACON!”

“Superstar” blares through the speakers and Otacon comes out to the ringside area with a lot of boos. He is seen wearing his usual ‘con-man’ t-shirt with jeans while he adjusts his shades on the stage. Finally, the former X-WCW World Champ struts down the rampway.

JR: “Here comes Otacon, King. These fans really do not like this person a lot.”
RK: “It’s a matter of preference, JR. These people here just hate on Otacon because he is a European.”
JR: “So your saying their all racists now, King?”
RK: “No, all I’m saying is these people hate Europeans…nothing about racism or any of that c***!”

Otacon slides into the ring and looks at TYO who has his hand extended to him for a handshake. He reaches out for TYO’s hand, but he pulls out the mic of the host instead and it draws a louder heel response from the crowd.

JR: “Its these types of actions by Otacon that really draws the ire of the X-WCW fans here tonight.”

Otacon: “Enough with the pleasantries, Drake. Tonight I come here to speak my mind about certain things, such as Mr. Fluke boy himself, Ignavus!”

He shoots a glare at Ignavus, who just responds with a grin at the former champion. Otacon grits his teeth as he shoves the mic back to the chest of TYO.

TYO: “Alrighty then, uhm..if you may take a seat first Mr. Otacon..I got two more guests to introduce here.”

Otacon glares at TYO for a while before he slowly sits down on the left end stool. He continues to eye the champion on the lazyboy while TYO shuffles his cue cards and speaks again.

TYO: “Ok, our next guest is another former champion here in the X-WCW. He was a former US, Xtreme, TV and Tag Team Champion. Aside that he is also a former 2-time World Champion. His name has changed from Eamon X to the current..GRANDMASTER E!!!”

The lights go out at “king of my castle” hits the speakers. The lights start to strobe on ringside as we see a figure wearing some cloak and hood on making his presence in the ringside area. The fans start to cheer as they recognize the figure to be GME himself.

JR: “Here comes Grandmaster E to the ringside area.”
RK: “The fans surely like this guy, JR.”
JR: “Of course they do! GME is one of the most popular names here at the X-WCW!”

The lights go back on as GME enters the ring and takes off his hood. TYO and GME shake hands before TYO hands him the mic.

GME: “Its nice of you to invite me here to your show, TYO. Now as a former World Champ here in the X-WCW, all I have to say is two things. I miss the belt because it looks good one, but what I DON’T miss about the belt is because it adds 20 lbs and it makes me think I gained weight.”

The joke also gets a moderate laugh from the crowd before he passes the mic back to TYO.

TYO: “Oh boy, Eamon, tough crowd we got tonight don’t we? Well Mr. E, time for you to take a seat first so we can finally introduce the last guest.”

GME nods and sits at the right side with a stool as Otacon eyes him with a glare.

TYO: “Ok, so my first three guests were either current world champions or former world champions. But for our final guest tonight, he is neither a former or current X-WCW World Champion, however he was a former Olympian. During his stay here in the X-WCW, he has taken the US and Tag Team Titles. Most of us know him as Christopher Back’s SWORN enemy, please welcome my last guest for tonight, TONY BONITO!!!”

“Fury of the storm” plays through the PA systems as Tony Bonito comes out wearing a blue polo shirt and black jeans. The fans boo heavily at the Olympian and start to chant “Nito sucks” on his way down the ramp.

JR: “Just like Otacon, the crowd here in Detroit is not receiving Bonito too well.”
RK: “Its not like Otacon, JR, they might hate Europeans…but they hate people from Boston more. I mean, remember that Boston-Detroit rivalry in the 80s?”
JR: “Uhm..no I don’t.”
RK: “See…what do YOU know about this crowd then?!”

Bonito enters the ring and poses for the fans who continue to boo for him before TYO applauds and they actually shake hands. He gets the mic from TYO and rubs the hand he shook with TYO on his pants for some reason.

TB: “I’m glad someone acknowledges here in this ring that they are looking at an Olympian such as myself. There are only a few people named to represent this country, and I’m proud to be one of those men. Unlike these three so called ‘champions’, my gold never leaves my hands.”

He pulls out a gold medal from his pocket and gloats at the three men seated on the chairs as he displays the medal. He puts it back inside his pocket and hands the mic back to TYO as both men sit on the remaining stools. From left to right, the order of the seating was otacon, tony bonito, ignavus, GME and TYO himself.

TYO: “Alright! Now that we got every guest here on the set, I guess its about time for us to ask our first question huh? First off let’s talk about the champ himself, Ignavus. Igz, its been a few months already since you won that title from Otacon so I got to ask you a question. First, how did it feel to finally with the biggest prize here in the X-WCW? Second, since your win, what did you learn about being a champion here in the X-WCW?”

Ignavus, who is seated at the lone lazyboy, pulls up his mic and scratches his chin.

Igz: “It felt wonderful to get this title and represent the X-WCW as its top wrestler from then on until tonight. I for one have been a person who has not exerted too much effort or thought on something, even if it’s a championship like this, in my entire life. On the night I won, I opened my eyes into something new, maybe if I still keep up being the slacker that I usually am but put atleast a little pinch of effort here and there..maybe I did do that on that night to become the champion. Winning this belt never compensated my way of life as a slacker, even right now, I’m so glad you reserved this lazyboy for me. You do know I could have just brought in my own couch, but hey that takes too much effort to pull down the ramp…and I’m lazy like that so yeah I appreciate the gesture TYO.”

TYO: “Hey no problem Champ, as long as you’re the champ…you can get any seat you want.”

This draws a question to Ignavus.

Igz: “But what if I am NOT the champ right now…can I still get to sit on this chair?”

TYO takes a short pause and thinks about it, but he eventually responds to…

TYO: “Ok..moving on..”

Igz: “NO! ANSWER ME!!! DAMMIT! I want to know what cruel fate shall befall on me if I didn’t have the title and I had to be on your show!”

TYO: “Uh…..you’ll not get this?”

He tosses a can of coke for the champion who catches it and lustfully looks at the can before he opens it up and chugs it down. We see Otacon visibly irritated on the far end of the arrangement while TB and GME just raise an eyebrow at what the champion is doing now. TYO pulls up the mic and speaks again to the other guests.

TYO: “As I said, moving on…lets get to the former champions here. Grandmaster E and Otacon have been fighting each other for the past few shows to face the champion at the X Rumble. In the end, a double knockout ended the final match and Christopher Back had no other choice than to make it a three-way match for the X Rumble main event. So let’s start first with Grandmaster E, what is your take on this match up?”

TYO passes the mic to GME before he speaks.

GME: “I tell you, this match between me, Ignavus and Otacon for the World Title is definitely a plus for me. As you may know, its been a long time since I have been in the title hunt after I lost it last year. From then on, its been a long journey in recovering that title shot I have been waiting for so long. Now, its back within my grasps and on the X Rumble, I guarantee you and all of these people at ringside that Motorcity will see a new champion when the show is over.”

Otacon, who looked more irritated, grabs the mic that Ignavus dropped on the floor. He stands infront of his stool and points to GME.

Otacon: “For the first time in your life, I agree with you on one thing, there will be a new champion crowned at the X Rumble. However, Eamon, it wont be you. At the end of the night, Its gonna be me. It seems like everyone has forgotten about Otacon being the real no. 1 contender for the X-WCW World Title. Everyone knows why Chris Back added you into the mix, its because he has no more competition to step up to the con man. He knows that if its just me and that slacker over there with the coke can…”

He points towards Ignavus, who is still busy chugging the can of coke.

Otacon: “I would just finish the match in the shortest amount of time.”

Otacon grins for a while until a ‘bulls***’ chant is heard throughout the arena. This draws the ire of the con man and he pulls up the mic yet again.

Otacon: “SHUT UP! I know you people couldn’t handle what I’m saying here, because only in Detroit, the people here not only have low paying jobs…they got the lowest intellectual quotient in the whole of America.”

Otacon sits down and has a smirk on his face while the fans boo him a bit more. GME looks at the con man before he speaks again.

GME: “Kinda nice of you to join the conversation about things that ends in the shortest amount of time, con man. Cause quite frankly, I recall a certain former champ who got dethroned by Ignavus here in the shortest amount of time ever recorded in a Wold Title match.”

GME shrugs his shoulders for a while as Otacon has a scowl on his face.

GME: “But enough about your ‘short comings’ lets go on to the people in the match itself. Its clear from the way it is, its always me and Otacon inside the ring to fight each other. But at the X Rumble, the champion Igz will be the third person to be inside that ring, and that really adds to the mix mind you. Cause quite frankly, I’m tired of kicking otacon’s ass from pillar to post every match I have with him. It would be a welcomed changed to just watch Ignavus do all the work instead and finish you off a bit quicker than last time.”

The fans laugh at GME’s statement before we see Ignavus finishing the coke can and asks for the mic. GME passes it to Ignavus before the champion speaks.

Igz: “Hey, no offense Eamon, but I’d rather not. I mean, its gonna take a lot of energy from me to beat that record. If it was a video game, hell, I can do it! It would just involve me sitting down with a controller and beating Otacon’s character in less than a minute. But alas, it’s a wrestling match Eamon and it would be more fun if we actually used the term ‘team work’ to throw off the con man in record time don’t you think?”

Ignavus gives GME a grin before GME himself grins ear to ear.

Otacon: “HEY! Now wait a minute here guys, so you two are telling me it’s a conspiracy? So at the X Rumble I gotta know that Grandmaster E and the champion Ignavus will team up to take out Otacon for the first fall. Oh, and here I was thinking atleast one of you guys could just prove me wrong and be a man. Double teaming me would give you both nothing but trouble. You guys wanna take me out early, go ahead and try your luck boys. The con man will tell you this, no lazy slouch and no wananbe disc jockey would beat me. I said it time and time again, that win of yours Igz, it’s a fluke! It’s a damn fluke and on the X Rumble, I will win that title back, and no one is gonna stop me….NO ONE…you hear me guys?!”

Ignavus raises an eyebrow and just nods a bit before he speaks again.

Igz: “Whoa, simmer down will ya chief? No one here is saying it would be a conspiracy to hold you down. I was just suggesting here to Eamon of another alternative, unless of course he wants ME to sit down and watch you fight it at first…that’s a-ok with me as well. Relax, Otacon, your exerting way too much energy on such a simple matter as this..its making my stomach upset.”

Otacon: “Well I’m SO sorry for you, champ, need some diatabs or something? Why don’t you just shut your lazy ass up before I just..”

TYO, who somehow has a new mic on his hand breaks it up.

TYO: “OK! OK! This is not the place to go around and fight each other, that’s gonna happen at the X Rumble. So now that I got all your takes on the match, what are your motivations for the match itself?”

GME: “My motivation for this match, is just to regain something I lost in the past. Obviously that thing I’m talking about is the X-WCW World Championship Title Belt. As much as I love winning matches, I love winning titles more than anything especially if it’s the top prize of the X-WCW.”

Otacon: “For me, its just one word…REVENGE! I will get my revenge on those who ridiculed me for losing quickly to Ignavus and I will have the satisfaction of getting my vengeance once I defeat both GME and Ignavus for the world title.”

Igz: “For me? I’m never that motivated on something, unless I know I get a reward for it, like this coke can over here. But for the match, I guess it’s the motivation of winning for the X-WCW fans who pay to see me hold this belt, no matter how lazy I am. Hey, its not everyday I defend the title, so why the hell not steal the whole damn show by doing it? Well, that is unless I fall asleep again.”

TYO: “That’s some very good answers guys, now lets move on to the next topic at hand: Rivalries. For the past few years, there has been two names who have been going at it here in the X-WCW. Those two names are Chris Back and Tony Bonito. Right now, we got one of the two rivals here in my show to air his side of the story. So Tony, at the X Rumble, it will be you and Chirstopher Back inside a Hell’s Chamber match. What is your view on this match with him?”

TB gets the mic from TYO and speaks once he is standing.

TB: “Finally, I get to speak here after I listened to the bickering between three pretenders who want to be the X-WCW World Champ. What is my view on my match with Christopher Back you say? Its quite simple, that match is the do all and end all for me and him as far as I’m concerned. Its been a lot of years since the two of us have been feuding in every damn federation we stepped in and its about to come to a close at the X Rumble. For me, what better way to put out Chris Back’s misery by defeating him in the structure that he created? After I defeat him, I’d set my sights on a new goal, the X-WCW World Championship. Basically, what I am saying here is that I will quickly dethrone whoever is the poor sap between these three who will have the world title belt by the time I get my shot.”

He points one by one at GME, Otacon and Ignavus with a grin on his face. He slowly descends back into his seat while Ignavus just pulls up his spare mic and lets out a yawn.

Igz: “Tony, I thought Otacon was exerting too much effort earlier, but now it seems like its you. Seriously now dude, that’s just too much thinking right now. Ambitions are good and all, but let them come to you, that’s what I did here to get this title. You see, you got a lot of passion Tony, I cannot deny that. However, with passion comes intensity, and too much intensity can lead to your own downfall. Somewhere beyond your path to your destiny, when you drive at full speed, you have a possibility of crashing on a brick wall one day. Take it from me, the life of the lethargic and lazy pays a lot of dividends. If you cant believe that, you should look at what belt I’m wearing now.”

The Con Man shakes his head before he shoots back.

Otacon: “What happened, Igz, was luck! And just like luck runs out for everyone, it will run out for you coming X Rumble time. Once our match is over, I will be the next X-WCW World Champion!”

GME shakes his head for a while and grins as he speaks this time.

GME: “On the contrary, Otacon, you wont be winning..you’d be losing yet again in record time. And Bonito, lets get this straight, you never won the world title here in the X-WCW for a reason.”

TB laughs for a while

TB: “Wow, really now Eamon? Please do tell me a good reason why I didn’t win the title here? Is it A.) you holding me down the glass ceiling along with the rest of the talented few here in the X-WCW? Or maybe is it B.) Christopher Back fears that the fans would see that I am the best wrestler of all time when I get that title wrapped around that lazy bum on the couch? Fact of the matter is, to all of you, it wont matter who will win the damn title for me at the X Rumble. What matters is, when I’ll win that title from one of you three after the X Rumble. Who knows, it maybe the next PPV, the next show..or the next minute after the main event is over. The powerplay of people like you three and Christopher Back shall all end after the X Rumble. Once I chop off the head of corruption in Mr. Back, the rest of the body falls down on the floor..its simple as that gents.”

TYO looks at the cue cards before he speaks again.

TYO: “Oh…I almost forgot about this! You all have talked about your respective matches and rivalries, but now its time to divulge into the next topic which would be X Rumble itself. Now earlier on the show, Christopher Back presented the list of the X Rumble qualifiers. Now that no one has yet to qualify aside from the 3 competitors earlier which were Renegade, De’Si Nidea and Real American, what would you guys think would happen in the end?”

TB: “I’d really not care about that thing, Sandy, seriously its stupid. But, if I have to take a pick, if I really have to it has to be Rage. I seen a lot of improvement on that kid ever since he came here in the X-WCW and when I crossed paths with him at the 2NLW. I think he might win that thing, but I wont care, cause he would be just another name on the list of people I’d force to submit from my trusted finisher the ankle lock.”

GME: “Lots of big names there on the X-Rumble qualifier list, TYO, so its hard to predict. Oh what the hell am I saying?! I know who can win the whole thing and its Karl Baller! That man right there is the black horse of this competition…”

TYO: “NO RACIAL SLURS!”

GME: “By black horse I didn’t mean..”

Igz: “HEY! Listen to what he said! No slurs!”

GME: “Bu…ah whatever…Karl Baller is my pick.”

TYO nods for a while before he faces Otacon for his answer.

Otacon: “Being the first winner of the X Rumble, I’d have to say its anyone’s game.”

Igz: “ahhahah…youre funny…”

Otacon: “And you’re a lazy lucky piece of s***..now let me finish! On the list, I can only foresee The Renegade being the winner of the whole contest. The guy has a lot of upside to him and he has that ruthlessness in him that reminds me of me. So that’s my pick.”

Igz scratches his bum before he looks around the other people who were somehow silent and was looking at him. He looks at them back, until he realizes he hasn’t picked yet.

Igz: “As the current champion, I guess I gotta be fair and say my pick as well for the X Rumble. I know many of you picked some famous people in the upper echelon of the X-WCW, but I wont do such a thing like it’s a fad. I think that we should look at the underdogs here, hence why I pick this next person. For the X Rumble, I pick that Mr. All American Rocky Davis will win…you know..Real American!”

The other four look at him some more with silence, until everyone breaks into laughter. TYO shakes his head for a while before he speaks up.

TYO: “Ok guys, calm down, everyone here in the show gets to air our their opinions…even though its kinda funny in a way. But were almost running out of time so we best wrap this up, alright? On the X Rumble, we will see Tony Bonito battle Christopher Back inside Hell’s Chamber! On the other hand, we get to see three men battle for the X-WCW World Title in Ignavus, Grandmaster E and Otacon. All these and more will come your way here at the motor city so don’t you dare miss it. I’m Sandy Drake..and see you all next time here at the Young Zone!”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break while TYO’s song is being played.

X Rumble Qualifing Match
Mike Daniels and Autobot Jazz vs Sci-Fi Man and Mark Daniels

Big & Rich's 'Comin' To Your City' falls upon our ears, drawing a warm reception from the crowd - although some of these cheers are replaced by puzzled mutterings as a pair of men, not the pair they expected to see, appears atop the ramp, striding purposefully down the ramp whilst avoiding each others' gaze.

TH2: "This X-Rumble qualifying match is a tag-team match, scheduled for one fall! On their way to the ring...at a combined weight of 580 pounds...from Melbourne, Florida, Autobot Jazz...and from Parts Unknown, Mike Daniels!"

AJ and Mike alternately step and slide into the ring, with Autobot Jazz quickly stepping up onto the corner post to raise his arms to the crowd, not looking at all surprised by the mixed feelings he gets in return. Meanwhile, Mike roars like a lion. A really big, really angry one. The scattered boos amongst the crowd rise up as one at that point, almost drowning his sound.

JR: "Autobot Jazz looking less than thrilled with his assigned partner - and who can blame him? The Final Frontier haven't been on great terms with the newly-formed Carnage Inc - "
RK: "Much like everyone else, then."
JR: "Well, yes - but 'everyone else' doesn't have to team up with members of this new faction tonight, do they?"

What, no song change? Well, no, for 'Comin' To Your City' continues even as another pair appears onstage, receiving a similarly mixed response from the crowd and, again, seemingly trying to ignore each other.

TH2: "And the opponents...at a combined weight of 575 pounds...from Seattle, Washington, Sci-Fi Man...and from Parts Unknown, Mark Daniels!"

Mark looks decidedly sulky as he hops up the ring-steps and prowls along the apron, and Sci-Fi Man's boundless enthusiasm appears to have gone AWOL, unhooking his cape and folding it neatly before leaving it draped over his so-called team's corner. The crowd still don't appear to have warmed to this set-up, and the dark grumbling continues, especially from the people in the back row - although that may be since they reckon nobody can see them, and so they're having a quick fumble.

JR: "As you can see, the four men in the ring form two established tag-teams - but as per the norm for X-Rumble qualifiers, they've been mixed together, so one must wonder how the relationships between team members will be tested as a result!"
RK: "Luckily, 'one' can also spare themselves the psychobabble, since nobody cares about any of these guys anyway."
JR: "Remember, folks; 'nobody' is just another way to say 'everybody except Randal'."

The bell rings, but we don't start quite immediately, as each team seems to be waiting for the other to decide who the first legal man will be before reaching their own decision. Eventually, and seemingly simultaneously, Mike Daniels and Sci-Fi Man step out onto the apron, leaving Autobot Jazz and Mark Daniels to face each other.

JR: "Of course, nobody wants to face their own proper tag partner since - "
RK: "They're too afraid to find out who's hardest."
JR: "...And they don't want to create any personal rifts between each other?"
RK: "Chickens, the lot of 'em, I say."

AJ and Mark step forwards and lock up, with Mark quickly gaining an advantage through pure strength - which then backfires as Autobot Jazz rolls over and uses Mark's own momentum to floor him with an Arm Drag. Mark's hardly fazed, and scrambles to his feet quickly, but is rocked back against the ropes by a high Dropkick from AJ, after which the Autobot whips him across the ring - but the Lost Boy reverses, and AJ finds himself rebounding from the opposite ropes. He ducks under a clumsy Clothesline, bounces again - and catches a mighty Big Boot right on the chin, collapsing instantly! Mark shouts in celebration - and so does Mike, over in Autobot Jazz' corner. On the mat, AJ glares at his temporary partner, and Mike coughs, before booing half-heartedly at his brother.

JR: "Is this just a hint of the confusion to come?"
RK: "With All-American's stooges around? Damn straight it is."

AJ begins to rise, but is interrupted by Mark, who throws him back down with a Scoop Slam and then drops an elbow - which Jazz neatly rolls away from. Mark hisses in pain and sits up, shaking the tingling out of his arm, allowing AJ to nail him with a flipover Neckbreaker. A quick cover is made, and Mark kicks out at 2, almost lifting Autobot Jazz clear up through the air. Mark gets back up and takes a swing at AJ, who blocks it and delivers a knee to the ribs, then hooks up for a Suplex - but Mark gets both hands free and just shoves AJ brutally down to the mat! Jazz crab-walks backwards, only stopping when he starts to get stuck on the ropes, and Mark closes in, getting ahold of both AJ's legs before leaning sharply back, slinging Jazz up into a guillotine against the middle rope. The crowd go 'ooh' and Sci-Fi Man looks away as AJ makes choking sounds.

JR: "The Lost B - no, wait, I mean Mark Daniels, and by extension Sci-Fi Man, are forcing the flow of the match to swing their way; something no doubt surprising to our viewers, given the caliber of Autobot Jazz."
RK: "Never mind his caliber, he's getting a good kicking, and I love it!"

With some difficulty owing to the ropes, Mark pulls AJ up again and neatly steps past him, reaching back to grab the head and then brings Jazz down with a very old-school Neckbreaker, AJ's skull cracking off Mark's shoulder sickeningly! Mark rolls over into a cover; 1...2...no, kickout! Mark pounds the mat in disappointment, then steps over to his corner, hand raised for the tag - but Sci-Fi Man drops off the apron, shaking his head. Mark spreads his arms out wide in a typical 'WTF?' pose, and fails to notice AJ rouse himself and roll him up into a Schoolboy pin! 1...2 - Mark kicks out!

JR: "Sci-Fi Man refuses to fight his friend - all well and good, but he almost cost himself the match in the process!"
RK: "Friendship is irrelevant."
JR: "That's a disconcerting view, to say the least."
RK: "Your words mean nothing."
JR: "Can you stop that now?"
RK: "You will be assimilated." *bzzt!*

AJ rolls backwards after his pin attempt, and finds his feet - and then finds the mat again, following a shoulder block from Marky-Mark. The active Lost Boy then taunts to the crowd, receiving little positive feeling in response, before he lifts Autobot Jazz into a typical Powerbomb setup, and up over the shoulders to leave AJ hanging in a crucifix pose - Razor's Edge on the way! BUT Jazz digs his heels repeatedly into Mark's back, wobbling him a little, before throwing his weight forward, so that Mark falls backwards into a variant Razor's Edge! With Mark seeing stars, AJ crawls away for a tag - belatedly realising that he's heading for Sci-Fi Man's corner, rather than his own.

JR: "Following his confusion, can Autobot Jazz make it to his own corner before Mark recovers?"
RK: "Upgrading is compulsory."
JR: "Randal, put down the power drill..."

AJ reaches his corner...but Mike keeps his hand out of reach; he's no more willing to face his own brother than Sci-Fi Man was to fight Autobot Jazz. However, on the other side of the ring, Mark lunges forwards and tags in Sci-Fi Man - so Mike tags himself in, too! Both rush to meet each other, with Mike throwing a clothesline; Sci-Fi Man ducks under it and responds with a Spinning Heel Kick, which Mike catches, then tosses the offending foot up and away; Sci-Fi Man pulls off a full somersault, landing nimbly on his feet, to a warm pop from the crowd; Mike snarls, and lifts Sci-Fi Man up and over into a Powerslam; but SFM gets his feet beneath him on the other side and blocks the move, before sneakily kicking one of Mike's shins, knocking the Lost Boy down, then scoring with a Standing Star Press, held on for a pin - 1...2 - kickout! Flippin' heck, that was exhausting!

JR: "Great technique by both men there!"
RK: "DIE, PUNY HUMAN!"
JR: "Right, see, now you're just being rude."

Sci-Fi Man runs back and off the ropes as Mike gets to his feet; on the return, SFM leaps up into a high-flying Lariat but Mike catches him around the midsection and throws him overhead with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. As Sci-Fi Man tries to stand up, Mike drives him back down to the mat with a series of clubbing blows to the spine, before dragging him over to one of the corners. Mike sits himself up on the top rope, then lifts Sci-Fi Man up for a Powerbomb - but SFM counters it into a Frankensteiner, leaving Mike on the canvas, dazed and very angry.

JR: "Sci-Fi just hit Mike with the Lost Boys' own preferred finishing move! That's gotta sting!"
RK: "Nnnyeeeaaaarr...kkkk..."
JR: "Apologies for these weird noises, folks, but I've had to disassemble my current broadcast partner's evil robot clone with an acetylene torch."

Mike scrambles up, fuming and clutching his head - only for Sci-Fi Man to come off the top rope with a Diving Body Press, crushing him to the mat! Sci-Fi makes a cover...1....2...and from outside the ring, Autobot Jazz grabs one of Sci-Fi's legs and pulls him off! SFM stares around in shock at his Final Frontier buddy, and AJ can only look sheepish as he rounds back to his corner. Getting his head back in the game, Sci-Fi pulls Mike up by the hair, then drops him with a Snapmare, followed by a low Dropkick to the back of the neck. With Mike reeling on his back, Sci-Fi nips out onto the apron, and springboards over into a Body Splash - which hits nothing, as Mike scrambles out of the way...all the way over to his corner and tags in an unprepared Autobot Jazz!

JR: "Uh-oh!"
RK: "Blork..."

AJ blinks in shock a few times, then almost instinctively steps into the ring, without feeling it. He moves slowly forward as Sci-Fi Man rises before him...the two stop with a good half-metre between them, the crowd reacting in a most peculiar way; some cheering one way, some the other, many just mumbling and muttering, unsure.

JR: "Could we see tears in the fabric of one of X-WCW's most beloved teams form right before - look out!"

Impatient, Mark Daniels steps off the apron and charges forward, attacking Autobot Jazz with a flurry of punches - until Sci-Fi Man pulls him back and decks him with a Shuffle Side Kick! SFM tends to AJ whilst Mark struggles to rise; as soon as he finds his feet, he once again charges with a roar, but finds himself on the receiving end of Stereo Superkicks from the Final Frontier!

JR: "I knew it! I knew they couldn't be broken! See, Randal?"
RK: "1...1...0...1...0..."
JR: "...Oh. Right."

The two halves of the Final Frontier share a high-five, then AJ points towards Mike Daniels on the apron, who gets a distinctly 'Oh crap!' sort of look on his face as SFM runs forward and leaps up into the Photon Torpedo - but Mike catches him at shoulder height and slams Sci-Fi down to the mat with a Powerbomb! Autobot Jazz looks set to lay into his own partner, before Mark suddenly staggers up and shuffles forward; AJ dodges a Big Boot, and as Mark turns around, nails the Energon Drainer! With a look almost of regret, Jazz makes the pin, with the referee only too happy to finally have something to do amidst all this chaos. 1...2...3!

JR: "What a finish!"
RK: "Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!"

TH2: "Your winners, and advancing into the X-Rumble...Autobot Jazz and Mike Daniels!"

Mike celebrates, seemingly without noticing the plight of his brother, whilst AJ tends to Sci-Fi Man...when all of a sudden...

JR: "Who the - ?"
RK: "Tweetle?"

The brothers Stix come rushing down the ramp and roll into the ring! AJ makes peaceable gestures - but clearly the Stixes aren't listening, as Dante blows flames before him and, with Jazz stunned, nails the Brainbuster to complete Dante's Inferno!

JR: "Why? What are they doing?"

Mike laughs at AJ's misfortune - and gets himself a kick in the gut for his troubles, followed by the Beelzebomb!

JR: "Eh?"

Still not satisfied, the towering Damien pulls both Sci-Fi Man and Mark Daniels up whilst Dante climbs atop the turnbuckle; with an amazing feet of strength, Damien lifts both men into simultaneous Stalling Suplexes - and Dante comes off the top with a Diving Spear on both!

JR: "Hell's Fury! The humanity!"

Pleased with their work, the Stixes leave the ring without a word, whilst in their wake lie the bitter words of the audience, and the battered bodies of their foes.

JR: "Well...good god. Ladies and gents, I don't know what that was all about, but maybe we'll get some answers later. Now, though, we cut to commercials, during which I'll hopefully be able to find my REAL broadcast partner and replace his mechanical doppelganger."
RK: "Error! Errorrrrr!"

X-WCW Studios

X-WCW goes back from the commercial break to see the current set of the X-WCW studios with Cole Ryan. Behind him, we see the X Rumble logo and he begins to speak.

CR: “Welcome back to our presentation of X-WCW Doubleshot. Hello everyone, I’m Cole Ryan at the X-WCW studio to give you all an all access look at the next Pay-Per-View event extravaganza..THE X-RUMBLE!”

The screen shows the match graphic as Cole Ryan narrates each match.

#1 Contendership to the X-WCW World Tag Team Championship
Fragile Minds vs The Stix Brothers

CR: “The Pay-per-view will start off with a bang when two of X-WCW’s tag teams square off the the no. 1 contendership to the tag titles. The Stix Brothers have been a thorn in the side for Fragile Minds in the past and now its time for these two teams to settle this one inside the ring.”

The X-Rumble qualifiers

CR: “Half of the PPV will see the continuation of the X-Rumble qualifier matches. The winners of the match shall move on and advance in the 15-man X Rumble match where the winner gets a #1 contendership to the X-WCW World Title.”

Powermaster and Chaz Sundance vs Brett Rayne and
Greg Biafra

CR: “In another randomly drawn pair ups for the qualifiers, the team of Powermaster Prime and Chaz Sundance will take on Brett Rayne and Greg Biafra. The former tag team champion Powermaster Prime is primed to help the young Chaz in this team. However, the former 2NLW Universal Champion Brett Rayne is no stranger to tag team competition as he is one half of the team RNR. Greg Biafra and Chaz will be the x-factors of this match to determine the fate of their teams and their entry to the x-rumble match.”

X-WCW TV Championship
Last Man Standing Match
Seith Helloct vs Judge Death(c)

CR: “For the past few shows, Judge Death and Seith Helloct have seemed to have developed a love-hate relationship with each other. Mostly, the case is Judge Death just creeping Seith out to the point of disgust that both men need to settle this thing in a last man standing match. In this X-Rumble qualifier match, two of the X-WCW’s most brutal competitors will square it out until one of them doesn’t have enough strength to answer the 10 count. The winner will not only get a title shot, but will come out as the X-WCW Television Champion.”

X-WCW Xtreme Championship
Submission Match
Sean Byrne vs Nightmare (c)

CR: “In another X-Rumble/title match, we get to see Sean Byrne take on Nightmare. The Boston rocker has a bone to pick with the Xtreme champ for some reason and he will face him in a submission match. For Nightmare, this match seems to fit his style more as he knows how to break bones. But Sean Bryne must not be counted out of this contest since his skull-cunrching moves are good enough to put anyone into submission as well. So it’s the dark and demented tormentor of Nightmare taking on the head-strong and alcohol fueled Sean Byrne for the Xtreme title. With submission match stipulations, anything can happen in this match.”

X-WCW Tag Team Championship
The Twisted Hunters vs StarStorm (c)

CR: “The Hunter Brothers have prevailed in their tag team matches leading into this matchup with the X-WCW’s top tag team today, Starstorm. Starstorm has been the X-WCW’s top team since winning the titles back in Vendetta 3 in the scramble cage match. Alec and Raven have faced a lot of teams including the Hunters, but will their experience as tag team champs be enough to contain the feisty and hardcore lust that the Hunters bring to the table?”

Second Chance Tag Team Match
R.E. Rage and ? vs TRD and ?

CR: “In a second chance tag team qualifier match, R.E. Rage and TRD will pair up with two names who previously lost their matches during the earlier X-Rumble qualifier matches. The team that would win this match not only get a second chance to go to the X-Rumble, but another shot to get a 1 in 15 shot at being no.1 contender for the X-WCW’s top prize.”

X-WCW #1 Contendership to the X-WCW World Championship
The 15 Man X Rumble
? vs ? vs ? vs Autobot Jazz vs ? vs ? vs ? vs Mr. All American Rocky Davis vs ? vs ? vs De’Si Nidea vs ? vs ? vs Mike Daniles vs The Renegade Ron Micheals

CR: “There has been four slots filled in out of the possible 15, but this match will be one for the books as it will show who will be the new no. 1 contender for the X-WCW World Title. 15 men, 1 ring, 1 goal…eliminate the opposition.”

X-WCW World Championship
Double Elimination Match
Grandmaster E vs Otacon vs Igz(c)

CR: “Two former X-WCW World Champions and the current champ will face each other in a three-way double elimintation match. Grandmaster E has his sights for his third X-WCW World Title reign here in the X-WCW while Otacon wants some payback after the current champion dethroned him in quick fashion last pay per view. With all these in check, can the slacker king Ignavus contain his two challengers and come out of this match still the X-WCW World Champ?”

X-WCW Intercontinental Championship
Hell's Chamber Match
Tony Bonito vs Christopher Back(c)

CR: “For the main event, its two men who have a lot of hatred for each other in the names of Tony Bonito and X-WCW CEO Christopher Back. On The PPV itself, these two men will settle it once and for all in one of the company’s most brutal of battle grounds. Tony Bonito faces Christopher Back inside the famous Hell’s Chamber. Mr. Back has garnered a lot of experience in this celled structure by participating in all of its previous incarnations compared to Tony Bonito’s experience with the very first hell’s chamber match in Vendetta 1. It is not sure if experience with this monster of a chamber become a factor in someone’s victory, but one thing is for sure..inside this cage…one will come out standing while the other man becoming the casualty of this long drawn out feud with these two men.”

The graphic shows the X-Rumble logo yet again before CR continues.

CR: “The X-WCW presents “X-Rumble”! It will be live on pay-per-view..order now!”

The scene closes.

Backstage

We see TGO and KB walking down the corridors backstage as they make their way for their next match.

KB: “You ready for tonight, bro?”
TGO: “Oh you know it, partner!”

They do a high five once they stop and KB walks on ahead as TGO goes down for a while and ties his supposedly untied laces. He gets up and he has a smirk on his face as he catches up on KB.

X Rumble Qualifier Match
The Thrillaz vs Trevor Moon and Bombshell

We go to ringside and we hear the voice-overs of both announcers.

JR: “Welcome back to Doubleshot! In our main event, we got another X Rumble qualifier here, King!”
RK: “As you can see JR, TGO and KB got a lucky draw as they are tagging with themselves unlike Moon and Bombshell. Although I gotta admit, I am a bit uncertain on how they can work together here. Sure, they have been tag team champs at one point in the X-WCW, but there are certain visible cracks in their team these days.”
JR: “I share the same sentiment, King, but regardless of it all I think they can win this one tonight.”

The camera zooms in on the ring where THII has the microphone to announce the next match.

THII: “The following X-Rumble qualifier match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first…”

“Lost boys” by 69 eyes hit the speakers and Trevor Moon comes out with Chaz Sundance to the ringside area. The fans boo them loudly as they make their way down the stage.

THII: “He weighs in at 200lb and is being accompanied to the ring by Chaz Sundance, TREVOR MOON!!!”

Chaz remains on the outside of the ring as Trevor slides into the ring area. He climbs up to the turnbuckles and poses for the crowd who still gives him a little bit of heel heat. He jumps down and waits for his partner while his music is cut.

JR: “Trevor Moon and Chaz Sundance make up the team of Misled Youth, one of the most exciting teams here in the X-WCW. But tonight, they wont be tagging with each other.”
RK: “Instead, Trevor is gonna team with a very different wrestler who stands on the opposite spectrum of wrestling.”

“Keep on rollin baby..you know what time it is..”

“Rollin” by Limp Bizkit blares through the speakers and soon enough, a harley Davidson motorbike pulls up on the stage with Bombshell. Bombshell smacks his chest with his fist before he raises it up in the air for the crowd to also boo him a bit louder.

THII: “And his partner from Maple Ridge BC Canada, he weighs in at 276lbs. BOMBSHELL!!!”

He drives down the rampway with his bike and parks at the end of the rampway. He sits on the bike as he staresdown at Chaz, who stands beside the bike. He slowly gets himself up from the seat and he shakes hands with Chaz before he dismisses him back to the backstage area. Bombshell slowly makes his way into the ring where he and Trevor just look at each other and start talking as the music fades down.

JR: “Bombshell is one half of X-WCW’s longest running tag team, POWERBOMB! You can imagine with his very long history of teaming with wrestlers like Shrapnel and Powermaster Prime, his team with Trevor Moon will not be an easy team to beat here in this match.”
RK: “I tell you, I bet Trevor is actually surprised with this draw. He is a bit bummed with not being a team with Chaz, but he got a tag team legend here in Bombshell. Bombshell as well was a former X-WCW World Champ, so that’s another plus that Trevor needs to know.”

The two men stay on one corner as “Hate or Luv” starts to play in the speakers and the fans get on their feet. KB and TGO come out to the ringside area and make their way down the rampway.

THII: “Their opponents, from Greenland, TGO! His partner, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Karl Baller! They are the team of THE THRILLAZ!!!”

JR: “Here comes The Thrillaz! They have been former X-WCW Tag Team Champs during their time, King, and when they win this match they got a shot to face the world champion at Starrcade.”
RK: “Things are mostly looking up for them, but that’s just for one man on the team and that’s Karl Baller. I recently did a survey backstage and it’s a deadlock tie between Karl Baller..and myself!”
JR: “Who did you ask in that survey anyway, King?”
RK: “It was between my nephew, and myself. Now that’s what I call an EVEN survey!”

Both men slide into the ring and go to separate corners. Once both men reach the top of their corners, they pose for the fans who continue to cheer on this tag team. They go down the corner and high five each other as their music dies down.

JR: “All four men are inside the ring and the match is about to start off!”

The bell rings to start off the match and TGO starts off for his team while Trevor starts for his. Both men go to the center of the ring and lock up before TGO gets the upperhand and gets a side headlock on the exchange.

JR: “TGO gets the advantage of that initial lockup and has Trevor Moon with that side headlock.”

Trevor Moon delivers a couple of hard elbows to the mid-section of TGO before he is let go of the headlock. Moon hangs on one of TGO’s arm to lock in an armlock on the former tag champ. He delivers a couple of chops to TGO’s chest as he got the submission move still locked in. After the second chop, he whips him into the ropes and ducks down for a back body drop. However, on TGO’s way back, he takes Trevor down with a swinging neckbreaker.

JR: “TGO capitalized on the moment and took down Trevor with a swinging neckbreaker.”

TGO waits for Trevor to get up before he takes him down with a dropkick. Trevor gets back up yet again and TGO catches him this time with a quick hiptoss back to the mat. TGO picks up Trevor Moon and sends him into his corner before tagging out to KB. TGO and KB whip Trevor into the ropes and catches him with a double dropkick.

RK: “Dropkick by both men and Trevor Moon goes down! Ouch, talk about four boots hitting every area of your face in one moment. That is something I do not like to relive.”
JR: “Trevor Moon slowly gets to his feet and KB is there to deliver some hard punches to the body of the Misled Youth member.”

Karl Baller tries to whip Trevor into the opposite corner, but he is reversed. KB reaches the corner, but floats over Trevor once he makes it. Trevor turns around to see KB is already behind him and he goes for a running clothesline that misses due to KB ducking down. Once Trevor turns around, KB meets him with a jumping calf kick right on the face.

JR: “Impressive move there by Karl Baller.”
RK: “He and TGO are turning up the volume here at the start, JR! If they can keep Trevor inside that ring, the match is there’s!”

KB quickly goes for the pin, but Trevor Moon kicks out at the count of 2. KB picks up Trevor, but he gets a couple of hard punches to the gut for his troubles. Trevor Moon grabs KB and rakes him in the face to stun him for a while. With KB’s back turned on Trevor, TM grabs him from behind and delivers an inverted DDT. KB goes down and Trevor quickly locks in a sleeper hold on the ground.

RK: “A little mistake like that could cause KB and TGO this match if they aren’t careful, JR.”

KB gets to his feet while Trevor Moon has his head locked in. KB starts to deliver some elbow smashes right to the gut of TM for him to let go. Once his opponent lets go, KB bounces off the ropes for something but Trevor catches him with a quick powerslam and pin.

JR: “KB gets pinned 1..2..NO! Karl kicks out before the third count and both men get to their feet.”

Trevor charges at KB, but KB takes him down with a double leg takedown and floats over for a side headlock. Trevor quickly rolls out of it and locks in a chinlock on KB for a while before KB gets to his feet. KB grabs Trevor behind him with both hands before taking him down with a sit-down jawbreaker move. Trevor staggers back into the ropes, but it also leads to Bombshell tagging him from behind before KB catches him back with a spinning wheel kick.

JR: “Karl Baller levels Trevor Moon with a spinning kick on the face.”
RK: “Bombshell tagged himself in the match, JR, and KB doesn’t seem to notice anything about that.”

KB picks up TM, but Bombshell sneaks behind him and clubs him hard on the back. Bombshell spins Karl Baller around and takes him down the mat with a hard sidewalk slam. With Karl Baller still down on the mat, Bombshell starts to stomp down on the US champ while the referee is busy escorting Trevor Moon back to his corner.

JR: “Bombshell is stomping a mudhole down on Karl Baller who is down on the mat.”
RK: “Bombshell loves to play the power game, and The Thrillaz better expect a lot of powerful moves from the veteran.”

Bombshell picks up KB with both hands on the throat. He delivers some hard knees to the mid-section before he violently sends KB crash chest first onto the nearby corner. KB staggers backwards and Bombshell catches him for a back suplex. KB crumples down to the mat before the mad bomber pins him for the count.

JR: “Here is another pinfall 1..2..but KB gets a shoulder up.”
RK: “This is gonna be a long match, JR.”

Bombshell waits for Karl Baller to get to his feet before he comes over to deliver some hard punches to the body. He grabs KB by the head and uses his free hand to lay some hard punches to the face of his opponent before he eventually lets go and sends KB down the mat with a hard punch to the face.

RK: “Ouch! Those shots looked like they landed solidly on the face of young Karl there. Bombshell is being the veteran here and is not letting up on KB and TGO’s team.”

Bombshell taunts TGO on his corner before TGO storms into the ring and tries to attack him. However, the referee restrains TGO and while he is busy, Trevor enters the ring to double team KB. Bombshell and Trevor back KB into the corner and start to stomp down on him. Bombshell makes a clap on the air to make it sound like he tagged Trevor in before the referee turns around. Bombshell whips KB into the ropes and Trevor catches him with a quick drop toe hold. Bombshell heads back into his corner as Trevor slowly picks up Karl Baller.

JR: “Trevor Moon and Bombshell used the distraction to illegally tag each other!”
RK: “They are only teaming tonight, JR, but they don’t forget the basics of tag team wrestling.”

Trevor Moon hits a couple of chops across the chest of Karl Baller before he whips him into the ropes. He goes for a clothesline, but KB ducks out on it. KB bounces back from the other end of the ropes and goes for a flying head scissors, but Trevor reverses it into a tilt-a-whirl back breaker. KB falls to the ground and Trevor locks in a Boston crab on the fallen US champion.

JR: “Trevor moon uses this time to lock in a submission move on Karl Baller.”
RK: “Both Trevor and Bombshell worked on KB’s back earlier, so this move can be the icing on their cake right now and KB would be tapping out soon on this move.”

Karl Baller struggles to move as he is locked in the middle of the ring by Trevor Moon. After a few seconds, TGO hops off the apron and into the ring to take out Trevor with a dropkick. TGO slides out of the ring as both Trevor and KB now slowly get to their feet.

JR: “A nice save there by The Great One for his partner. It seems like the Thrillaz are really on the same page tonight rather than opposing sides like they were in the recent shows.”
RK: “Its more than that, JR, TGO wants to win this thing. He can do away with his trust with KB tonight and just do anything to win, that’s another side you better think about with him. If you’re a wrestler who recently lost a lot of your matches, you gotta do anything and everything to change your fortunes.”

Karl Baller gets hit by a punch from Trevor, but he fights back with a punch of his own. Karl Baller follows it up with a couple more before he sends Trevor into the ropes. He catches Trevor Moon with a hip toss and he runs towards the nearby ropes. However, as he bounces off that set of ropes, Bombshell is there to knee him on the back. KB stumbles into a Trevor Moon bodyslam and he goes down to the mat.

JR: “Karl Baller looked poised to get this match going for his team, but Trevor Moon and Bombshell had other plans for him.”
RK: “Momentum really shifts a lot in these kind of matches JR!”

Karl Baller slowly gets to his feet and Trevor Moon is there to deliver some hard chops to his chest. He backs him into his corner and Bombshell is tagged in. Bombshell delivers a trifecta of shoulder charges on the mid-section of KB on the corner before he snapmares him out of it. He delivers a nasty kick on the back of KB before the US champ falls down to the mat in pain.

RK: “Bombshell really putting the hurt on Karl Baller right now, JR.”
JR: “I feel very bad for KB right now, King. He is hurting in almost every part of his body, but he has to hang on there cause it only takes one tag to get your team back into the fold here.”

KB crawls toward his corner, but Bombshell grabs him by the leg and drags him back to the opposite end. KB gets to his feet and turns around to deliver an enzugiri to send BS down to the mat. Karl Baller slowly gets to his feet and so does Bombshell. Bombshell tries to punch KB, but he is blocked and Karl Baller fires away with some strong lefts and rights to the face of the mad bomber.

JR: “Karl Baller is firing away with those hard lefts and rights to the face of Bombshell!”
RK: “He is in the driver’s seat now, JR!”

With Bombshell a bit stunned, he runs towards the ropes and takes bombshell down with a running forearm smash right on the face of BS. Bombshell slowly gathers himself on a vertical base before Karl Baller goes for a wild punch. Bombshell ducks down and clubs KB hard on the back. Bombshell lines him up for the powerbomb, but KB back body drops him. KB waits for Bombshell to get to his feet before he delivers a quick Chaos From Heaven.

JR: “CHAOS FROM HEAVEN! BAH GAWD!!!”
RK: “Both men are down, oh wait, Karl just got to his feet and he is making his way towards the corner! HOT TAG, HERE WE COME!”

KB reaches his corner and is about to make a tag to TGO, but TGO jumps off the apron and grins at Karl Baller. Baller stands on the ropes, a bit stunned about what is going on right now.

JR: “WHAT IN THE HELL?! What did TGO just do? He just backed off from his partner who needed that tag!”
RK: “I knew it, JR! I knew TGO wouldn’t be as loyal as he was before!”

TGO backs up the ramp and waves goodbye to KB, who is still in the ring shouting at TGO to get back here and tag in the match. While KB is busy, Bombshell gets to his feet and tags out to Trevor Moon. Trevor dropkicks KB from behind and KB is now hanging on the top rope. Trevor lifts KB’s legs as he is still hung to dry on the ropes before he delivers a hard kick right to the gut area of the US champ. KB falls down the mat holding his stomach while a shot on the stage is shown with TGO smiling as he watches the scene.

JR: “TGO, that no good son of a b***! He just abandoned his partner inside the ring, and now Trevor Moon and Bombshell are about to devour his former team mate Karl Baller.”
RK: “I am no fan of TGO, but hey, I gotta hand it to him JR. I mean, that was a well thought out plan to hold on a bit and wait for the time to turn his back on Karl.”

Trevor Moon picks up the beaten up Karl Baller and drags him back into his corner. He tags in Bombshell and bombshell lines him up for the powerbomb.

JR: “Karl Baller is lined up for the powerbomb and…BAH GAWD! Powerbomb by Bombshell!”
RK: “And look at this, Trevor runs towards the ropes and..ROCKSAULT!”

Trevor pins Karl Baller for the three count.

JR: “1..2…3! Its all over, King! Trevor Moon and Bombshell make it through to the 15-man X Rumble match. I hope TGO is happy about what he has done. I thought he and Karl have patched things up, have a drive to go to the X Rumble. But I guess I was wrong, King, TGO is nothing but a sore loser for the past few days and it seems like he wants to drag his friend KB on the losing end tonight to deny him the spot at the X Rumble.”
RK: “Hey, things happen JR, we best get over it.”

The bell rings as THII announces the outcome.

THII: “The winners of this X-Rumble qualifiers matchup..Trevor Moon and Bombshell!!!”

“The lost boys” by 69eyes plays through the speakers as Moon and Bombshell raise each other’s hands in victory. We see Karl Baller laid out in the ring while TGO still stands on the stage with a smirk on his face.

RK: “I thought TGO would actually like to win the X-Rumble, JR, but yeah I guess you were right. He just wanted to make his partner go to the losing end of the deal like he has been for the past few months. Kinda sad but true, Karl Baller is outta the X Rumble for tonight. Remember, JR, the losers of the qualifiers still have a chance to get another shot at the X Rumble match on the PPV itself.”
JR: “While we wait for that, King, we gotta go out already. For Randal King, this is James Russell. SEE YOU ALL NEXT TIME FOR THE X-RUMBLE!!!”

X-WCW goes off the air as TGO makes his way to the backstage area.
