90) X-WCW Warzone #33

[Cyberstrike]

X-WCW goes on the air as it takes us back to the previous show in a small video package like manner.

Nitro 22…

It opens us to show Otacon getting up in time to catch Bonito and delivering his own Nitoplex. Karl Baller slides into the ring and shouts at Crook to count while threatening him with a steel chair.

RK: “KB is threatening the new CEO that if he doesn’t count the pin, he’d be counting up stars after a chairshot.”
JR: “And here is the pin…1…2…3! Otacon retains the X-WCW World Heavyweight Championship!”

The bell rings and Otacon gets to his feet thanks to KB’s help. KB hands the X-WCW World Title belt to Otacon and he raises his arm in victory.

THII: “The winner and still the X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion…OTACON!!!”

John Crook shakes his head in disgust and helps Tony Bonito get out of the ring and walk up the ramp. While he exits through the curtains though, he shouts ‘take care of those two’.

JR: “Did he just say something, King?”
RK: “Yeah, but to who, that is what I wanna know J..OH MY GOD!”

RNR and The Renegade jump off the crowd barrier out of nowhere and enter the ring. The Renegade takes down KB while Otacon gets blasted with a hard knee strike to his back by Brett Rayne. KB gets stomped down by The Renegade but he tries his best to get up. He fights back, but R.E. Rage sneaks up behind him with a low blow to take him down to his knees.

JR: “Rage, that sneaky snake!”

The fans boo loudly at the Revolution members inside the ring, but those boos drown with a little bit of cheers as the nTo storm down the ramp. The members of the nTo, sans Josh Leyh, enter the ring with steel chairs to scare off the revolution. Their interference was sufficient enough as RNR and The Renegade scatter out of the ring and retreat back up the ramp.

JR: “The reinforcements have arrived, King, and the cowardly Revolution trio just made their way back up the ramp. Hah, so typical of their cowardly ways if you ask me.”

As R.E. Rage, Brett Rayne and The Renegade look at the ring and laugh at the nTo, they bump into something. Slowly, the three members of the Revolution turn around and realize the people they bumped into were Bombshell, Powermaster Prime and CANE DEATHSCREAM! The fans give a positive reaction towards the trio whose presence just make the Revolution members jump off the rampway and scurry towards the alternate entrances back towards the backstage area. Cane smirks while he lifts the mic towards his direction and speaks.

CD: “What’s the matter boys? Saw a ghost or something? Remember what TRD told you boys a few weeks back, that the nTo has a surprise of their own? Well surprise, surprise Mr. Crook..Cane Deathscream and Powerbomb have just re-joined the N-T-O!!!”

The fans cheer as the nTo members inside the ring applaud the three men on stage who reveal themselves wearing nTo shirts.

JR: “BAH GAWD! Cane Deathscream..Powerbomb…are officially back with the nTo!!!”
RK: “If Crook thought that taking out Chris Back and D-Extreme would be easy enough to overthrow the nTo, guess were wrong. Three main components of the nTo are back and they seem hellbent to raise..HELL..yet again!”

The video package fades as it shows a close-up shot of Cane Deathscream.

****
The drumbeats of the song hits and then we hear a 8 second intrumental while we see the X-WCW logo apperaing on the screen. In the background, we see various clips of X-WCW wrestlers battling it out in black and white. However, the logo fades and it bursts into color once we hear the vocals kick in.

"ON THIS DAY"

We see Otacon raising the title belt in the air while he is on the stage.

"I SEE CLEARLY"

The scene changes and we see Bonito locking in the ankle lock on Autobot Jazz

"EVERTHING HAS COME TO LIGHT"

It skips and we see TRD delivering a big boot to the face of his opponent

"BETTER PLACE, AND A BROKEN DREAM"

The video shows a clip of Final Frontier entering the entrance stage and the pyros behind them explode.

"NOT A CHANCE TO FEEL....."

The scene changes and we see Sean Byrne making his way into the ringside area

"CHANCE TO FEEL ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE"

We see Karl Baller hitting the spreading ashes in slow motion before the fades to black. The video goes pitch black before an explosion of red flashes out and we see the X-WCW Warzone logo on the screen.
****

We go to ringside as “Superstar” hits the speakers. Otacon comes into the ringside area and the fans are on their feet.

JR: “Welcome to X-WCW WARZONE! I’m James Russell and alongside me here as always is Randal King. We are live here at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Right now the X-WCW World Champion, Otacon, is making his way down the ramp.”
RK: “And JR, the people here seems happy that the champ is here. Its not a long time ago that Otacon was the most HATED person in the X-WCW.”

Otacon enters the ring and poses for the crowd with his X-WCW belt. The music fades out as a ring crew member hands the champion a microphone. The fans inside the Bradley Center chant “Otacon” before the champ begins to speak.

Otacon: “As you all seen earlier, yes the nTo actually helped me out that night and saved my skin. For the first time in my career here in the X-WCW, I have to admit they did the right thing and stood up against Tony Bonito and the rest of his slimy Revolution running mates. So now it seems like the tide has turned on you Revolution and your gonna get your hands full against the nTo.”

JR: “Its true King, now that Cane and Powerbomb are back with the nTo, the Revolution does have more problems to it than they originally planned.”
RK: “Hey everyone gets a problem here and there, JR. I don’t think the Revolution are just gonna mull over and let the nTo win over them just cause of that.”

Otacon: “Now at Starrcade: Triad, I am glad to announce that yes its Karl Baller against Otacon for the title. I cannot wait to lock horns with you Karl. Were friends and all but when you get into the ring and fight for the gold, the friendships are gonna be put aside for one match and I’m not holding back anything and you can bet on that.”

The fans start to boo as soon as John Crook’s face is seen at the WARtron.

JC: “Good evening to everyone at ringside and a nice evening to you as well Otacon. Since you’re the champ, I want you to give these fans the chance to see you in action. So tonight, the X-WCW World Heavyweight Champion Otacon will be competing in 2 matches for the night.”

The fans get a mixed reaction while Otacon looks a little bit shocked of the announcement. However, the champion grins and speaks yet again.

Otacon: “You know Crook, I know there is something you got cookin there in your office. It might even be your plot to take me out indefinitely as champ. But don’t worry, I respect your decision. Infact I feel its time for the con man to get double the action tonight and show you why I am the X-WCW World Heavyweight Champ. So it doesn’t matter who you put here in the ring with me, cause the end result is all the same…I will make them BLEED!”

Otacon points at JC while JC just rolls his eyes. Otacon gets out of the ring and heads towards the backstage as the fans cheer at the champ. After Otacon’s exit, JC continues his announcements.

JC: “I’m glad to hear your enthusiasm my friend. But now there is another announcement I have to make, tonight is the start of the second round of the LotR tournament. So far so good, these are the standings of the tournament as of tonight.”

The WARtron shows the following score card.

Score:

Justin Sane (2-0)
The Real American (1-1)
Joe Goldstone (2-0)
Greg Biafra(1-1)
The WARtron shows JC yet again for him to continue.

JC: “So folks, our first match of the evening will be Justin Sane vs Real American. This match will occur after the commercial break.”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as John Crook’s image leaves the WARtron.

Backstage

We go backstage with Cole Ryan at helm.

CR: "Welcome back to Warzone. We are here live backstage and I'm here with the man formerly known as "The Great One", Mr. Andrew Radon. I dont know about most people but its a pleasant surprise to see you back here Andrew."

The camera zooms out to show Andrew Radon as the in-house crowd boos him from the ringside.

AR: "I'm glad someone appreciates my return around here. It's a pleasure to be here, Cole."


CR: "During your promo, it seemed you had some hard feelings for one Karl Baller. If given a chance, Andrew, how will you deal with him if you encounter him somewhere backstage in the X-WCW locker room?"

AR: "I think I said it all during that promo. Karl screwed up a good thing, and now he's going to pay for it, someday, somehow, somewhere."

CR: "Currently, there is a feud on-going in the X-WCW since you left, its the nTo vs the Revolution. For you, which side would you most likely support if both factions approach you in ask of assistance?"

AR: "I have to say I haven't thought about that too much, since I was focused on being resigned. But if I had to pick right now, I'd more than likely side with the Revolution. They have the power to take the X-WCW, and I want to be there when they do."

Lord of the Ring Tounament-second round
2 out of 3 Falls
Justin Sane vs The Real American

THII: “Ladies & gentlemen, the following contest is the second round of the Lord of the Ring tournament! This match-up is a 2 out of 3 falls contest. The rules are simple, the first superstar to win 2 falls will be declared the winner and move on to the next round! Introducing first…”

“Super Beast” by Rob Zombie hits the speakers and the fans automatically send there boo’s towards the stage. The 6’10, 350 pound monster known as Rocky “The Real American” Davis comes out through the curtains. He slowly walks down the ramp-way absorbing all the jeers the crowd gives him.

THII: “From Ellis Island, standing 6’10 and weighing in at 350 lbs, ROCKY “THE REEEAL AMERRRICAAAN” DAAAVIIIS!!!!”

JR: “I see why these fans hate this man. Davis has no respect what so ever for the rules here in X-WCW and its ashame.”
RK: “For once, I agree with you. I hope that troll gets his clock cleaned tonight.”

After our color announcer Randal King finishes talking, “Rebirthing” by Skillet blasts through the speakers. The crowd makes a complete u-turn and let off cheers for one of their favorite X-WCW newcomers. Justin Sane comes speeding down the ramp-way on a dirt bike. He tries to wheelie it, but it hits the ring and he flies into the ring! The master of Insaneness luckily front-flips onto his feet right in the middle of the ring, which draws deeper cheers for a grand entrance.

THII: “And his opponent, from Davison Michigan, standing 5’10 and weighing in at 173 lbs…JUSTIIIIN SAAAANE!!!”

RK: “I take that back, he is going to kill this weirdo. I hope he gets his clock cleaned some other night.”
JR: “I wouldn’t be so sure King. Justin Sane is a very...very skilled high-flyer. If he can use his speed in agility, there aren’t a lot of superstars that can stand up to his assault.”
RK: “That is true, but Rocky Davis and Sane have had numerous encounters. I think that Rocky knows Sane’s style a bit more than the others. He might be able to keep him contained.”

The two superstars meet face-to-face, well face to abdomen. The bell rings and Rocky tries to open up with a wild swing to Justin’s head. Justin Sane ducks the attack and hits the ropes, avoiding a big boot. Sane drops down and uses both legs to leg sweep Rocky’s other leg causing the big man to fall. He quickly capitalizes with a front flip leg drop on the neck, stands up very fast and does a standing moonsault on the body.

JR: “A beautiful flow of moves by Justin Sane.”
RK: “No pin after that combination. It shows how much hatred these two have for each other.
JR: “Remember what happened at the X-Rumble? This is stimulating from that I believe.”

Justin Sane, who has helped the giant Carnage Inc. member to both of his knees, sends a front drop kick to Davis’s face. The big man falls back down and Justin gets back up. He wastes no time as he sends some boots to the face. As fast as he can, Sane heads to the near-by corner and climbs to the top of the turnbuckle; waiting for Rocky to get up.

With a shout of “Get Up” from the insane one, Davis starts to get to his feet. Rocky gets on both feet and turns around to find Justin Sane basically flying towards him. Rocky tries to react, but he is to late as Justin lands on his shoulders and executes a beautiful hurracarrana.

JR: “An early high impact move from Justin Sane!”

The crowd chants “In-Sane” in unison as Justin attempts the first cover of the evening.

RK: “1…2.early kick out at 2 by the Real American”
JR: “He threw Justin off like a rag-doll! Rocky Davis does have a hell of a lot of stamina.”

Justin rolls up and dashes towards Rocky, dodging another clothesline in the process. He hits the ropes and ducks a big boot, then tries to do the leg sweep he did on Rocky the last time. Only this time, Rocky is ready; he kicks his other leg up and falls backwards, dropping an elbow on Justin Sane.

RK: “What a dumb move by Justin Sane.”
JR: “No, it was a good move, just he shouldn’t have repeated it like that.”
RK: “I see why though, I mean its Rocky Davis. Who would have thought Rocky would foresee something like that.”

With the momentum shifting hands, Rocky Davis mounts Sane and holds his face up, then hits a vicious head butt then sends the back of Sane’s head bouncing off of the mat. After two UFC type elbows to Justin, Rocky gets up and staggers towards the ropes. He leans on them to catch his breath and get himself back together after the high-octane offense displayed by Justin. About 8 seconds into his rest, Justin Sane starts to get back onto his two feet. Sane finally stands up and holds his head, but gets a hard knee thrust into his stomach by Rocky Davis.

Davis wastes no time and sends another knee strike to Justin’s gut. With a loud scream, Rocky Davis lifts the smaller lightweight up into the air with both hands by the throat. The referee runs to him and tells him to let the choke go, but Davis doesn’t listen. The referee starts the count and by the time he gets to 4, Rocky uses his brute strength by throwing him up a little higher, catches him in mid air and slams him with a vicious spine buster!

Justin’s body slams off of the mat and Davis laughs at how badly hurt Justin Sane looks. Davis stands up, feeling recuperated from the ass whipping he took earlier in the match and taunting the crowd.

JR: “Bah Gawd what power! Rocky Davis might destroyed the bones in this mans back from that spine buster!”
RK: “You got that right JR. Rocky is dishing out some serious punishment.”

Davis grabs Justin Sane by the hair, but the smaller opponent fights back with some rights and lefts to Rocky’s lower body. The crowd chants his name, trying to rally Justin to get back on top of this match. It seems to be working as Davis lets go of Sane thanks to the blows. Justin sends 3 jumping right hands to the face and charges at the ropes. On the rebound he attempts a cross body, but Rocky catches him in mid-air. He mouths off towards the crowd as he holds Justin in the air.

RK: “What is wrong with Sane? The Real American weighs twice as much as him. Now he is going for a fall away sl- WHOA JUSTIN TURNS IT INTO A CRUCIFIX PIN!!!”
JR: “1…2…thr-KICKOUT BY DAVIS! Man, that was almost over by a surprise pin there! A beautiful reversal by Justin lets take a look at the replay.”

Just as Rocky Davis attempted to do a fall away slam, Sane took both legs and wrapped them around his arm. He rolled his body onto the back of Rocky and used Rocky’s fall back as momentum to reverse it into the crucifix. As the replay ends, Rocky gets on both feet, but he is angrier than a bull that has red tape stuck on his eyes. He charges at Sane, who has also gotten on both feet, but gets a full-fledged dropkick into his knee. Sane then quickly gets behind him and jumps on his massive back.

JR: “Justin locks in a sleeper on his opponent. He has even wrapped his legs around his lower rib cage.”
RK: “Smart move by Justin. He is trying to suck the life out of that giant Cyclops.”

It is looking bad for Rocky Davis as Justin Sane squeezes as hard as he can. Rocky struggles to his feet, but Justin Sane is wrapped around Mr. Davis’s neck like an anaconda. About 20 seconds later, Justin still has his sleeper hold applied. The fans begin to chant “Tap-Out now” towards the Carnage Inc leader. Rocky who is winded by the sleeper hold, begins to look desperate.

Rocky heads towards the middle of the ring, Justin Sane still on his back with his sleeper hold locked in tight. He attempts to head to the ropes, but the sleeper holds effect is too much. Rocky starts sending elbows onto the sides of Sane’s lower body. The large arms of Davis take its toll on Justin Sane as his grip loosens. After a couple more grueling elbows, Sane lets go and he holds his sides as he does so. Rocky drops down to one knee and holds his throat so he can get his breathing cycle back together.

As the heel tries to rest it out, Justin Sane endures the pain on his ribs and sends some clubs to the back. The stuntman then pulls Rocky’s left arm out, kicks it as hard as he can and takes Rocky down with an arm drag. Justin gets onto his knees and stands up, then falls back down to one of his knees and holds his ribs.

RK: “Justin might have injured himself a tad bit from all the damage towards his lower body.”

Sane bravely endures it though and heads to the ropes. He jumps on the middle rope and attempts a corkscrew senton bomb, then connects! He attempts a cover after the attack.

JR: “1..2…kickout at two by Rocky Davis!”

Justin Sane stands up and looks a little frustrated. He grabs Rocky by the head and helps him up. He applies a headlock on Rocky, but the larger superstar sends that sledgehammer like fists to the rib-cage area of Justin Sane. Sane screams in agony, but manages to drag his opponent towards the turnbuckle. Still in headlock position, he climbs the turnbuckle backwards. He waves his hand around and the crowd cheers knowing what he will do now.

JR: “Justin Sane does the ever popular signal for the legendary tornado DDT. Every high flyer does it at least once, it is a very high impact move.”

As Justin jumps off of the turnbuckle to execute the tornado DDT, only Davis keeps on standing! He picks the cruiserweight up and over his back, spins around and slams Sane hard with his finisher, the Crucifix Bomb!

JR: “Bah Gawd what a vicious bomb!”
RK: “Whoa, so THAT is his crucifix bomb huh? This is the first time I ever paid attention to it.”
JR: “1…2…3, Rocky “Real American” Davis wins fall #1.”

THII: “Ladies and gentlemen, Rocky Davis has won the first fall! The second match begins right now!”

Rocky gets up and attempts the final pinfall of the match.

RK: Rocky is trying to pin Justin from the effect of his finishing manuver! 1..2…thr-kickout by Sane!!”

Rocky, who is completely annoyed by the kickout, picks up his small opponent and applies a bear hug. He shows no mercy, tightening his grip and rattling his smaller opponent. Justin screams in pain as he looks towards the ropes and reaches for them. For a second, he grabs them, but Rocky pulls him away and heads to the middle of the ring.

JR: “The referee is asking Justin Sane if he wants to quit, but he says no! He’s got a lot of heart King.”
RK: “Yeah, but no brains to match. If he doesn’t give up now, he will be crushed!”

The pain being unbearable, it looks as though Justin Sane can’t take it anymore. Justin takes both his hands and claps the face of the 6’10 monster. It affects Davis, but not a lot. Justin does it again, and again and again and again. After about the 12th time, RD can’t take it anymore an lets go. Justin puts his hands on Davis’s shoulders and uses both feet to kick off of Rocky into a back flip. He drops down a bit, but he somehow is able to send a frontward drop kick to the upper chest of Rocky Davis!

JR: “He just defied gravity there King!”

The two superstars lay on the canvas stunned and the referee begins the 10 count. By 5 both superstars start to move, but the crowd begin to boo their heads off.

JR: “What the hell…that’s Nightmare coming out of the crowd! What does he want!?”
RK: “Duh, Justin Sane! These two have had a little rivalry going on and I think he wants to continue it.”

The referee has his back turned and continues the count out. As Sane gets up, Nightmare gets to his side of the ring and lifts his right pants leg to reveal a steel chain wrapped around his right shin. With the swiftness of a ninja, Nightmare jumps onto the apron and does a roundhouse kick to the side of Sanes head, and it knocks him out cold! He lands outside of the ring and back flips over the barricade and into the stands.

Rocky stands up at 9 and finds Sane still down. He staggers to his opponent, drags him away from the ropes and goes for the pinfall.

JR: “1…2…3, this match is over! Justin Sane could have easily won this match, but that god damn Nightmare had to poke his nose where it doesn’t belong!”
RK: “I gotta tip my hat off to this pip squeak. He showed a lot of heart, even though it was crushed by that walking bowl of destruction.”
JR: “Thanks to Nightmare you mean.”

THII: “The winner of the second fall and advancing to the next round of the Lord Of The Ring Tournament…ROCKY “THE REAL AMERICAAAAAAAN” DAAAAAAAAAAAVIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!!”


“Super Beast” by Rob Zombie plays through the speakers as Rocky gets up and holds his hands high. He climbs out of the ring and heads to the back while EMT’s check on the unconscious Justin Sane.

JR: “This won’t be over. Justin Sane is going to want revenge King, and I think he will get it.”
RK: “Whatever JR, we got more action coming our way.”

X-WCW goes to a commercial break as the EMTs wheel him out of the ringside area.


***

X-WCW comes back to the commercial break and we see John Crook inside his office. As he sits down the camera is focused right onto the new CEO of the X-WCW.

JC: “Tonight, there will be a triple threat match to determine the Television Title of the X-WCW. For the past few weeks, Big Dog has been holding the TV title as hostage. His new ‘not taking prisoners’ style that he shown here and in the 2NLW recently has given the board of directors some pause. To Mr. Big Dog, we will not force you to surrender the title, but we do give you the initiative tonight to PROVE that you are worthy of being such the TV champion of our company. Its simple really, you win, you keep it. You lose, you better respect the decision that the officials will strip you the possession of the TV title. Ladies and gentlemen, we will now go back to ringside for your next match.”

The cameras fade to black before it pans back to ringside.

X-WCW TV Champion
Big Dog© vs The Young One Sandy Drake vs Seith Helloct

The crowd grows listless waiting for a match to start. They get their wish as wish as Terri Hotbody begins to announce the upcoming match.

THII: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a triple threat match for the X-WCW TV Championship. Introducing the challengers: first, from Pensacola, Florida, he weighing in at 198 pound, Seith Helloct!”

“With You” by Linkin Park erupts over the speakers. He comes down the ramp to a mixed reaction. He enters the ring and removes the black trench coat he wore to the ring. After this, he circles the ring waiting for his opponents.

THII: “The other challenger: from Vancouver, British Columbia, weighing in at 219 pounds, “The Young One” Sandy Drake!

“Top of the World” by The All American Rejects” blares through the arena and the crowd cheers as Sandy Drake emerges from the back. He slaps hands down the aisle and gets in the ring. He poses on the turnbuckle as he waits for the champion.

“Stupify” by Disturbed hits the speakers. The X-WCW TV champion makes his presence known.

THII: “Finally, from Knoxville, Tennessee, he is the X-WCW TV Champion, BIG DOG!”

Big Dog enters the ropes and climbs up the ropes. He poses with the belt and removes the sunglasses he wore to the ring. He hands the belt to the ref who holds it high.

The bell rings and the match begins. Big Dog and Helloct lock up and struggle for a few moments. That is then broken up by a standing drop kick from Drake.

JR: “Sandy Drake getting the upper hand early in this match. Now he grabs Seith Helloct and whips him to the ropes. Now he follows that up with a splash to the corner.”

RK: “First pin attempt right here. Oh and Big Dog broke it up at two. Gotta keep that third man in mind in a triple threat match.”

Big Dog starts unloading with a flurry of punches to Drake. Helloct dives in and takes out the knee of Big Dog. He then crashes on top of Drake and Helloct goes for the leg of Big Dog.

JR: “Seith Helloct has the leg of Big Dog really stretched out and is tweeking it at the knee.”

RK: “Things don’t look good for Big Dog. He doesn’t even have to be pinned or tap to lose the title tonight.”

JR: “You’re correct on that. But, the opponents tonight are definitely gunning for the champ tonight. “

Helloct continues to work the knee and leg of Big Dog. As he does this, Drake jumps off the ropes and connects with a springboard clothesline to Helloct.

JR: “Great move by Drake. He covers Helloct. 1,2, and Helloct gets the shoulder up.”

Drake starts to blast Helloct with forearm shots. Big Dog comes up and grabs Drake. He then chucks him over the top rope.

JR: “Big Dog is certainly favoring that knee now after the damage inflicted by Seith Helloct.”

Helloct takes advantage of Big Dog’s momentary limp. He reaches up and arm drags Big Dog. BD gets up and Helloct arm drags him again and locks on an arm bar.

JR: “Helloct back to the submission move. He continues to wear down the champ. And there’s Drake again. He knocks down Helloct and goes for a quick cover. 1,2, and Big Dog kicks out.”

Helloct gets up and he and Drake begin to exchange chops. After a few back and forth, Helloct switches over to throwing punches. Drake staggers after one. He teeters at two. The third one Drake grabs. Helloct goes for a kick. Drake grabs the leg. Helloct then snap up with an enziguri.

JR: “These three men just keep reaching down into their reserves.”

RK: “We have another pin attempt. Helloct covers Drake and Big Dog breaks it up before the ref could even get a one count.”

BD grabs Helloct and whips him to the ropes. On the rebound, BD connects with a high knee strike and Helloct barrels over in pain. Big Dog gets on the ground behind Helloct and begins laying in with several cross face punches. He pulls Helloct up and grabs him. BD delivers several knees to the gut of Helloct and snaps him down with a quick DDT.

JR: “Big Dog goes for a cover now and Sandy Drake drops the flying elbow to break up the pin”

Drake waits for Big Dog and as BD gets up, boot him in the gut. He goes to hit Big Dog with a powerbomb, but Big Dog reverses and gets Drake onto his shoulders. He then brings drake down with a death valley driver.

JR: “Big Dog hits that Death Valley Driver. Here’s the pin. 1,2, Bah Gawd! Seith Helloct breaks it up again.”

RK: “There’s just no give here. The TV title means a lot to these guys.”

JR: “Very important title indeed. The champion must defend it on every televised broadcast. They have to be a fighting champion and anyone of these three men can certainly go every night.”

All three men are visibly exhausted. Big Dog and Seith Helloct are pulling themselves up and Drake is leaning against the ropes. Drake runs over and goes for a double clothesline. Both men duck and Drake hits the ropes. He staggers back for a moment and Helloct throws him to the ropes.

JR: “Drake bounces off the ropes and Big Dog goes for a clothesline. No. Drake ducks and Bah Gawd! Age Before Beauty. He nails that superkick.”

RK: “There comes Helloct. But there goes Drake with another just as sudden Age Before Beauty.”

Drake drops down and covers Helloct.

3!

“Top of the World” plays as Drake is announced the winner.

THII: “Here is your winner and new X-WCW TV Champion. “The Young One” Sandy Drake!

Drake lifts the belt up high as he celebrates.

JR: “Phenominal effort from all three men. We have a new TV champion and a lot more coming up. We’ll be back in a moment.”

During the commercial break

We go back from the break to see a video package of what happened earlier. Vanish and Thorn from Fragile Minds attack Ken and Jake Hunter from behind in the parking lot. The two men overpower the Hunter brothers due to the surprise attack. Ken is grabbed by the throat by Thorn and he is chokeslammed on the nearby hood of a car. Vanish delivers a nasty lowblow kick at Jake before he drags him and smashes him face first into the same car’s window.

V: “Hey Thorn! Let’s drag these ugly ragdolls right there!”

Vanish points towards the nearby dumpster and Thorn complies. The Hunter brothers are soon dumped into the dumpster while we hear something approaching off camera. A forklift appears on-screen and lifts the dumpster and it drives to the outside of the parking lot.

We go back to ringside with JR and RK.

JR: “Welcome back to Warzone, and folks what you just saw there was the scene during the break. The trio of Fragile Minds just assaulted Ken and Jake Hunter before they drove them out of the arena using a forklift.”
RK: “That was out of nowhere huh JR?”
JR: “It sure was King, it surprised the heck out of me as well. Right now the camera crew just caught up with the forklift that carried the two hunters and it seems like they are on a nearby creek!”

The WARtron shows the following scene:

Outside the arena, lies a creek where the forklift stops a few meters from and the camera shows its absinthe that is driving the forklift. She slowly drives the forklift into the watery part of the creek and lifts the dumpster using the lift. The dumpster tips over and soon enough splashes into the creek. Off-screen, we could hear the voices of the announcers.

JR: “OH MY GOODNESS! THE HUNTERS JUST TOOK A TRIP INTO THE WATER!!!”
RK: “Nothing like a good ol swim at night to cleanse you up for the New Year huh JR? Hahaha!”

Absinthe leaves the forklift and the two other members of Fragile Minds join her as she talks to her boys.

Absinthe: “If this isn’t sending a message to the rest of the X-WCW women and tag team division, guess we have to show them some more huh boys?”

The three of them laugh as they leave the scene. We go back to ringside as the camera pans over the announce table.

JR: “King, I have nothing to say but those three are evil people. Imagine, you beat up two men and dump them into the dumpster. When you think it was over with, you dunk them into a nearby pond. How inhumane could someone get?”
RK: “Its their line of job, JR. They have done worse as far as I could recall. Remember that time they bloodied up some guy? That was worse, heck they fed him to their car’s trunk before they set it aflame.”
JR: “Fragile Mind, a trio that I will never understand here, King. Well folks I am sorry if I got a bit carried away, but I have to tell you that their stunt in my professional opinion was uncalled for. We will be back after these short messages from our sponsors.”

X-WCW goes to another commercial break.

Rayne Bloodstone vs Covra

JR: “We’ve got another match here tonight and the ladies of the X-WCW are gonna go at it.”

RK: “These two are not fond of each other and are ready to take each other out.”

“Whisper” by Evanesence begins to play. The crowd responds as Rayne Bloodstone enters the arena. She comes down the ramp and enters the ring. She stares down the entranceway awaiting her opponent.

THII: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. In the ring, from Japan, Rayne Bloodstone!”

The crowd turns to boos as “Nymphetamine” by Cradle of Faith plays.

THII: And her opponent: from the Bowery, Corva Corax!”

Corax makes her way into the ring and stares down Rayne.

JR: “The tensions are already running high and the match hasn’t even begun yet.”

Rk: “You can say that again, James. This will be an intense match from these two very beautiful competitors.”

The bell rings and the two women lock up. Rayne quickly goes behind Corva and begins to wrench the arm. Corva twists around and reverses the pressure to wrench Rayne’s arm. Corva then drives her elbow into the shoulder of Rayne.

JR: “Corva Corax really working over the arm and shoulder of Rayne Bloodstone here.”

Corva brings Rayne down and nails Rayne with a knee to the back of the head. She goes for a cover. Bloodstone gets up after the count of two.

JR: “And there’s the first pin attempt of this match. A bit too early it looks like.”

Corva picks up Rayne and throws her to the ropes. Corva goes for a clothesline, but Rayne ducks and takes Corva down with a standing drop kick. Corva tries to get up and Rayne responds with springboard dropkick off the second rope. She goes for a cover.

JR: “Bloodstone goes for the pin. 1,2, not yet.”

RK: “Things are starting to pick up here.”

Corva gets up and the two women begin to exchange punches. Corva eventually gains the upper hand and gets Rayne back into the corner. Corax begins to light up Bloodstone with a series of knife edge chops. Rayne gets in and fires off a chop of her own. The two then exchange chops.

JR: “Shades of Ric Flair coming from these two.”

RK: “James, they may need a massage after this match. I’ll be happy to attend to their injuries.”

JR: “I’m sure you would.”


Corax grabs Rayne and whips her to the opposite corner. She runs and hits a double knee to the chest of Rayne Bloodstone. Rayne then gets picked up and whipped again. Corva then takes her down with a drop toehold. She goes for a cover and gets a two count.

JR: “Corva Corax now mounting Rayne Bloodstone and she’s laying in with the right hands.”

RK: “All I heard was one of them was mounting the other.”

JR: “Get you head out of the gutter and call the match!”

RK: “Play by play is your job. I’m the color commentator.”

Rayne reaches up and stops the barrage of punches. She manages to throw Corva over her and get up. Rayne then kicks Corva and flips he legs over and lands the leg drop on Corva.

JR: “Innovative offense as Rayne Bloodstone takes control of the match.”

Rayne then hits the ropes and hits a second rope moonsault. She goes for a cover and Corax gets up at two. Rayne quickly bounces off the ropes and nails Corva with a dropkick to the face. Another pin attempt gets another two count.

Rayne brings Corva up to her feet and goes for a kick. Corva grabs it and pushes Rayne down. Corva rolls Rayne over and locks on a single leg Boston crab.

JR: “Corva Corax now working the leg of Rayne Bloodstone.”

The ref checks on Rayne and sees if she wants to quit. Rayne refuses. Rayne struggles to ropes. She inches towards them. Corax locks in the submission hold harder.

JR: “Corax looking to ground the more high flying Rayne Bloodstone.”

RK: “Best way to do that, James. Take out the legs and you take away a lot of the high flying offense.”

Rayne Bloodstone finally makes her way to the ropes. The ref administers the five count, and Corax releases the hold at four. Corax then drags Rayne back to the middle of the ring locks on an armbar. Rayne struggles, but eventually turns over and puts Corva’s shoulder’s down. The ref counts and Corva gets up at two and releases the hold. Corva goes for a clothesline and Rayne ducks it. Rayne quickly grabs Corva and nails her with a DDT. Rayne then picks her up and nails several knees to the gut of Corva and throws her to the ropes.

JR: “Rayne Bloodstone with the splash to the corner. She goes up as Corax hits the floor.”

Rayne goes to the top rope and hits a frog splash.

JR: “That frog splash just took a lot out of Rayne Bloodstone. These two female competitors are really doling out the punishment.”

RK: “Both of these ladies are certainly capable of competing. They could probably take on some of the men on the roster as well.”

Rayne desperately struggles to crawl back over to Corax. She gets over and gets an arm over the prone Corax.

JR: “There’s the pin attempt. 1,2, and BAH GAWSD! Corax kicked out.”

RK: “Bloodstone took too long to make the cover.”

JR: “High risk resulted in little reward.”

Both competitors struggle to get to their feet. Rayne gets up first and throws Corax to the ropes. Rayne goes over and mounts the turnbuckles and begins to lay into Corax. The crowd counts along as Rayne fires off ten punches to Corva. She steps up a rope and prepares a move. Corax grabs her and goes to powerbomb her.

JR: “Corax looking for a powerbomb. No! Bloodstone reverses it into a hurricanrana. She leaps to the top rope. Bah Gawd! She hits the Fall From Grace. Pin attempt now. 1,2,3! Rayne Bloodstone wins!”

THII: “Here is your winner, Rayne Bloodstone!

“Whisper” plays as Bloodstone celebrates here win.

JR: “What a great contest. We’ve got more to come after a quick commercial.”

Lord of the Ring Tournament-second round
2 out of 3 Falls
Joe Goldstone (2-0) vs Greg Biafra (1-1)

THII: "The following match is a Lord of the Ring semi-final match for the vacant X-WCW Intercontinental Championship!
First from parts unknown with a score of zero defeats and no losses he is JOE GOLDSTONE!!"

"Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed plays and Goldstone walks down to the ring like a man on a mission.

JR: "Ladies and Gentlemen this is listed as a two out of three falls but should Goldstone win the first he will the match. Greg Bafira needs to beat Goldstone in two consecutive falls to win and advance to the finals where the winner will face Rocky Davis for the vacant X-WCW IC championship."
RK: "Goldstone completely destroyed The Superstar Chris Stephens in the first round in about five minutes and the question is can Greg Biafra defeat Goldstone not once but twice?"

THII: "His opponent from San Diego, California he has a score of one loss and one victory he is GREG BARFIRA!!"

As "I Want to Conquer the World" by Bad Religion starts to play, Biafra doesn't come down the ramp. Goldstone looks annoyed when suddenly Biafra jumps over the guardrail and quickly slides into the ring and attacks Goldstone from behind. The bell rings to start the match as Biafra continues his onslaught on Joe Goldstone.

RK: “After telling you how Goldstone just demolished Stephens, Biafra is doing a good job of avoiding that same fate right now, JR. If he manages to continue to keep Goldstone out of his normal pace, which is to dominate his opponents, he has a chance to win this match and eliminate a threat in Golstone from the tournament.”

Greg Biafra backs goldstone into the nearby corner and delivers some hard kicks to the sternum of Goldstone. Biafra makes his way to the other side of the ring before he makes a run towards Goldstone. Joe Goldstone leaves the corner and Biafra eats the turnbuckle for his troubles. Biafra turns around only to be sent down to the mat with a powerful clothesline by Joe Goldstone.

RK: “Ouch. That is all I could come up with right now, JR.”
JR: “Goldstone must have just knocked a few teeth loose on Biafra right there, King.”

Biafra gets to his feet and Goldstone grabs him in for a gutwrench suplex. Biafra is thrown down yet again on the canvas by Goldstone. JG picks up Biafra and delivers a hard chop to the chest that echoed throughout the arena. Goldstone delivers another hard chop and it sends Biafra down like a ton of bricks. The fans actually back up Joe Goldstone and they start to chant “Goldstone” for some reason.

RK: “Seems like Joe Goldstone’s brutal tactics are what these fans want. Damn it JR, these fans are just bloodthirsty aren’t they?’
JR: “Goldstone has the smash-mouth style, King. But I doubt he or the crowd are out for Biafra’s blood as much as you want to believe they do.”

Goldstone picks up Biafra, but Greg Biafra delivers some hard forearms to the mid-section of Goldstone. Biafra breaks free from Joe Goldstone’s grasps and delivers a hard dropkick right on the face of his opponent. Joe Goldstone backs away a few steps while Biafra runs towards him and connects with a flying crossbody to take both of them down. Biafra hooks the leg for a pin, but Joe Goldstone raises his arm up before it could be made.

JR: “Goldstone breaks the pin in that exchange.”

Biafra waits for Goldstone to get up before he tries to deliver a super kick. Goldstone catches the leg of Biafra and takes him down with a dragon screw takedown. He waits for Biafra to get up before he grabs him in a hug. However, Biafra gets out of Goldstone’s grasps with a hard headbutt. Goldstone is dazed from the head butt and Biafra levels him with a enzugiri kick to the back of the head. Goldstone does a flip over before he falls to the mat.

RK: “Judging from the way Goldstone fell to the mat, that kick must have had a huge amount of impact on the head of Joe Goldstone.”

Biafra has a smirk on his face before he rolls Goldstone over and pins him. The referee starts to count.

JR: “Here is the pin: 1-2-CLOSE!”
RK: “He, he got a shoulder up after that?!”

An equally shocked Greg Biafra gets to his feet and has a look of disbelief. He calls for Goldstone to get up before he tries for another kick. Goldstone catches the leg of Biafra, but Biafra uses his free leg to try on another enzugiri. This time, however, Goldstone ducks while he still has the other leg. He lets go of Biafra’s leg as Biafra is now facing the opposite direction. With Goldstone now behind Biafra, he lifts the straight-edged superstar into the air for what it appears to be a back suplex, but mid-air he turns Biafra around and slams him down with a sit-down powerbomb.

JR: “BAH GAWD! That was a huge move pulled off by Joe Goldstone!”

Goldstone pulls the leg of Biafra for him to initiate the cover on his opponent.


RK: “Biafra sure looks out of it, JR, and here is the count. 1-2-3! Goldstone gets this one folks.”

The bell rings and Goldstone is told to go to the other side of the ring before the next bell rings. A few seconds later, with Biafra on his feet, the bell rings to signal the next fall of the match. Goldstone and Biafra go to the center of the ring and lock up. Goldstone gets the quick advantage with a go behind on Biafra. He locks in a sleeper hold, but Biafra quickly grabs one of Goldstone’s arm and twists it into an arm bar. Goldstone reverses the submission move to his advantage and then uses his free arm to deliver some hard chops to the chest of Biafra. After the third chop, he reels Biafra in for a clothesline but it is avoided. Biafra blindsides Goldstone with a hard punch to the face that dazes the bigger man. Biafra follows up with a couple of more punches to Goldstone before adding a hard kick to the mid-section.

JR: “Biafra bounces off the ropes for a cross-body block on Goldstone, but JG catches him mid-air. Goldstone has him in his grasps and he takes him down with a side-winder slam!”

Biafra crashes to the mat and holds the back of his head. Goldstone snarls and signals for the end of the match. He picks up Biafra and lifts him up in a suplex position. He finishes things off with the jackhammer that sends Biafra crashing onto the mat. The ring shakes violently after that high-impact move delivered by Goldstone. Joe Goldstone pins Biafra.

JR: “Here is the pin: ONE-TWO-THREE! GOLDSTONE WINS!!!”

Disturbed’s “Down with the sickness” blares over the PA systems as Goldstone’s hand is raised in the air by the referee. His celebration gets cut short as RA and the Lost Boys enter the ring. The Lost boys have chair with them as RA sneaks behind Joe Goldstone for a low blow.

JR: “BAH GAWD! ROCKY DAVIS JUST LOW BLOWED GOLDSTONE!”

Goldstone goes down on his knees while Mike and Mark Daniels go on opposite sides of the ring with their chairs on hand. As Goldstone rises to his feet, both members of the lost boys deliver a con-chair-to right on the head of JG.

RK: “CON-CHAIR-TO! Haha! Rocky Davis may be a few paces short of thinking correctly, but this was a well planned assault by him and his crew. I LIKE IT!”

Goldstone falls down like a ton of bricks and the fans boo loudly. RA goes towards Goldstone and stomps away at his enemy. The Lost Boys look on with smirks on their faces while Rocky Davis continues his assault on Goldstone. X-WCW goes on a commercial break as a few referees storm into ringside to stop this cheap assault.

Backstage

We see Rayne Bloodstone heading towards her locker room until someone tosses a chair towards her. She narrowly avoids it and glares at someone off-screen. Corva enters the screen and the two women staredown.

Corva: “You bitch! You were just lucky this time to escape my wrath. Soon you’ll find out who the dominant woman here is in the X-WCW.”

Rayne: “After what happened in the ring, I don’t think I have to find out. I know who is the best and that’s me. I proved it to you and to everyone earlier I can pin you down any way I want.”

A light chuckle could be heard in the background until the camera zooms out to see Absinthe entering the scene to mock the two women who are bickering.

Absinthe: “After you both seen me and my boys take out the Hunters, you’d better take notice that we are at the top of the list in our categories in the X-WCW. So whatever you two think, I wouldn’t give two cents worth of it. Face facts ladies, I’M the best woman here in the X-WCW…heh..not you two sluts.”

Rayne and Corva look at each other, before both women glare at Absinthe. Soon enough, a three-way catfight emerges into the scene. After a while, a couple of referees get into the scene and break up the fight.

6 Man Tag Team War
The Renegade, and RNR vs Cane Deathscream and PowerBomb

We go back to ringside for the next match.

THII: “Ladies & Gentlemen, the following contest is a 6 man tag team war! It is scheduled for one fall with no disqualification and no time limit. Introducing first…”

“Hurt”, hits the speakers and the X-WCW fans begin to boo the hell out of the Revolution member headed towards the ring. About 3 seconds later, “The Renegade” Ron Michaels makes his way through the curtains with a smile on his face. He slowly walks down the ramp-way and towards the ring.

THII: “From Out West, weighing in at 276 lbs, he is the X-WCW Xtreme Champion...The Renegade Ron Michaels!!!”

JR: “This kid sickens me King. Even though the rules weren’t his best friend, he had great promise as an X-WCW superstar. It’s a damn shame he turned on us like this!”
RK: “You are completely right James. But hey I gotta hand it to him, he got the gold once he joined the revolution.”

Michaels stops as he gets in front of the ring and waits for his partners to follow up. There is a long pause and then “Filmstar” hits the speakers. The crowd boo’s only intensifying as R.E. Rage & Brett Rayne both come out of the curtains with their hands risen and tag titles on their shoulders. They stroll down the ramp and stand next to TRRM. The 3 men then slide into the ring.

THII: “And his partner’s, they are the X-WCW Tag Team champions…RNR!!”

RK: “This is a great experience for Ron Michaels. He is tagging with two former World champions and current tag team champions.”
JR: “yea- BAH GAWD LOOK AT THIS!”

The camera turns back to the ring…only this time Cane Deathscream & PowerBomb are brawling with Revolution. Cane is pounding the Renegade into the corner, Bombshell and Brett Rayne are exchanging blows, and Powermaster and R.E. Rage are going toe to toe. Rage sends an uppercut to Powermaster and then a boot to the gut. He then hooks him for a gut wrench suplex, but Powermaster blocks it. PM pushes Rage off and goes for a big boot. Rage ducks it spins him around and sends a very hard kick to PM’s shin. As PM bends over grabbing his leg, Rage hits him with the Evolutioner!!

JR: “Bah Gawd, Rages finisher in the begging of the match!!”
RK: “Wait, why isn’t he going for the pin though?”

Rayne gets the advantage after a rake to the face of Bombshell. He sends a couple right hands to Shell’s face and short arm clotheslines him. Rayne helps Bombshell up and sends him into the ropes, but follows him there. When Shell’s back hits the ropes, Rayne sends a hard knee to the gut and backs up.

RK: “OUCH! That’s gotta hurt on Bombshell in a bad way!”

Rayne stops and makes fun of the crowd and than charges at Bombshell. Unfortunately for Rayne, Bombshell back body drops him over the top. Rayne lands on the apron and does an inverted DDT on Bombshell and the former X-WCW World champions neck snaps off the top rope and he falls on the floor. Rayne drags Shell out of the ring and glimpses at Deathscream choking Renegade Ron Michaels with his boot in the corner. RM is being choked to hell as Deathscream pushes as hard as he can.

JR: “This match picked up very fast eh King?”
RK: “Yes it did JR. I have never seen two teams fight with so much hatred.”

Deathscream lets go smiles at the damage he has done. When he turns around he walks right into an on coming R.E. Rage. He sidesteps him and Rage collides with Ron Michaels in the corner. The Renegade falls over the ropes and out of the ring. As Rage staggers back, CD grabs him by the waist…but gets a sperm call for his troubles.

JR: “Damnit! Another dirty move by R.E. Rage, he lives off of them King!”

Meanwhile on the outside, Rayne rolls into the ring with two steel chairs in hand. He tosses one to R.E. Rage and the two look at the fallen Cane Deathscream. They pull off a devious smile and both head towards CD when a recovered PMP stands in their way with his biker chain.

RK: “It looks like PMP stands in the way to stop the attack. He doesn’t want CD to get destroyed so early.”
JR: “Powermaster is very brave for this one. Look at him swing that chain in the air to keep RNR out of the way.”
RK: “Look JR, The Renegade is getting up from the outside and grabs a 2x4 from the apron! Time to go hacksaw on nTo! Wh-what in the?!”

The Renegade tosses the 2x4, but before he gets into the ring, Nightmare is seen jumping off the crowd barrier and starts to deliver some hard clubs to the back of the new Xtreme champion.

JR: “ITS NIGHTMARE!!! He is still seething from the defeat that he suffered last Nitro against The Renegade!”
RK: “With those fast instances of clubs, I’m saying he is still pissed about that result. Who couldn’t JR?”

Nightmare grabs Renegade by the head and tosses him over the crowd barrier. He climbs up the barrier and waits for Renegade to get up. Once Renegade is up and in the crowd, Nightmare launches from the barrier and takes him down with a flying crossbody. Nightmare quickly mounts on top of the fallen Renegade and starts to hit some stiff shots to the face.

JR: “Nightmare is assaulting The Renegade while the crowd gets a close-up view of it!”
RK: “Well the security is making sure that is not happening now since they are in the crowd to stop this brutal attack. Lets go back to the ring. I see Bombshell up now.”

Cane slowly gets up to his feet and stares down RNR with the chairs. Bombshell then gets in the ring from behind and shouts “Forgetting somebody!!” to the crowds delight. He is armed with a baseball bat wrapped in his signature steel chain. The crowd chants “PowerBomb” in unison as RNR look as though they are in serious trouble.
JR: “It’s a fair game now, King. With Renegade still outcold from the beating at the hands of Nightmare outside the ring, it’s a 3-on-2 against RNR. Lets see how RNR handles being outnumbered.”

BS starts to move in closer as does his partners. Then the unthinkable happens, PMP does a discus tornado punch to Cane Deathscream! CD is floored to the ground after that vicious punch… then his face gets covered in mucus as PMP spits on him.

JR: “What the hell is going on here!!”
RK: “This was a set-up, that’s why Rage didn’t pin him in the begging!”

RNR laugh and move out of the way as Bombshell gets in on the action also. BS repeatedly beats CD’s face with the bat until he sees blood. He drops the bat and PowerBomb shake hands with RNR, than help up Cane Deathscream.

JR: “This is sick King, I don’t believe this!”

PowerBomb move out of the way and RNR hit a picture perfect con-chair-to onto poor Cane Deathscream. As the loud smash is heard throughout the arena, RNR looks amused and lets out an ‘oooh’ just for kicks.

JR: “Powerbomb just turned on the nTo. This makes me sick to my stomach King.”
RK: “This set up was flawless. I can’t believe that they pulled this off.”

Revolution & PowerBomb talk it out and eventually R.E. Rage covers Cane Deathscream with the boot on the chest of the fallen nTo member.

JR: “Oh great, Rage covers the former World champion. 1…2…3. The match, or whatever you call this catastrophe is over. Those hooligans in the ring can really go to hell! I can’t believe this!”
RK: “It looks like PowerBomb are the latest recruits to the growing Revolution faction.”

“Listen…”
“IT’S TIME!”
”You know its time for Revolution (IT’S TIME!)”
“I give it proper execution (TIME!)”
“Cause you’re a broken institution (IT’S TIME!)”
“And I’m the natural collusion”

“It’s Time” by Jim Johnston hits the speakers and RNR celebrates with Powerbomb on their win.

JR: “I still can’t believe this. PowerBomb has turned their backs on the X-WCW.”
RK: “As bad as this looks, we’ve got to move on. New theme song it seems for the Revolution huh JR? Well folks, we got more action after these messages.”

The camera pans on CD’s bloody face as X-WCW goes to a commercial break.

Backstage

X-WCW comes back from the commercial break as we head to the backstage area with Cole Ryan. Beside him stands the new X-WCW US Champion, Sean Byrne who came in with the US belt perched on his shoulder.

CR: "We are here backstage with the United States Champion, Sean Byrne. Sean, any thoughts on your victory over Karl Baller?"

SB: "Ever since I got here 2 years ago, Karl Baller has been kicking my ass up and down the arena. But when i finally got the win over him, in front of my headbangers both in the arena and watching from home, it was as good as winning the title itself."

CR: "How does it feel to have the US title around you for the first time in your career? Do you believe its just the first step in many for you to reach the X-WCW World Championship?"

SB: "Cole, the United States Title is one of the most prestigious belts in the X-WCW. Wrestlers who win this belt go on to be world champions. I believe when i first won the T.V title, i took my first step towards a World Title reign, but I didn't think I would jump this high, this soon. And i am VERY grateful for that."

CR: "Recently, you seem to be a thorn on the Revolution's side. Do you have any message for the revolution?"

SB: "The reason i have been a thorn in Revolution's side is because factions want 2 things, power and title belts. I have a title, so instead of waiting for them to ambush me, I took the fight to them. I took there best shots and gave them mine, and at the end, it was me and Baller standing in the ring as 'brokeback mountain' went crawling back to Crook with there tails between there legs. So at Nitro, I'm issuing an open challenge to ANY member of revolution with half a pair to a match. No title on the line, just a one on one match so i can show them that if there going to be running around the X-WCW like they own the place, there are going to be people like ME to put a stop to them. The next move is there’s. Rock On."

Handicap Match
Fragile Minds vs Otacon

We go back to ringside and John Crook appears on the WARtron. The fans inevitably boo at the X-WCW CEO before he addresses the fans.

JC: “As said, Otacon will compete in two matches tonight. Right now, it will be his first match of the night and his opponent…”

“Social Suicide” by Bad Religion hits the speakers and all three members of Fragile Minds show up on ringside. The fans give them a negative reaction as they make their way down the ring.

THII: “This contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, at a combined weight of 525 lbs and being accompanied to the ring by Absinthe, Vanish and Thorn of FRAGILE MINDS!!!”

JR: “These two men are Otacon’s opponents? I bet they put up a show earlier just to impress Crook and grant them a spot in this match.”
RK: “Hey, atleast they are smart in doing such a thing. I just thought they were just sending a message to the people in the locker room. Now its not only JUST the people there, but they are about to make a statement against our own champion.”

Absinthe escorts the two men up to the end of the ramp before both men run towards the ring and slide inside. They go to opposite corners of the ring to pose for the fans. Their music fades as JC is still seen on the WARtron with a smirk.

JC: “Just to make things interesting, you two don’t even have to tag each other into this match. It’s a pure one-on-two match. So ladies and gentlemen, this is your CEO wishing you to enjoy this following contest.”

His image fades out of the WARtron as “Superstar” hits the speakers and Otacon comes out to a good ovation from the fans.

THII: “And their opponent, he is the current X-WCW World Champion, OTACON!!!”

JR: “Otacon has a tall order right now in the ring.”
RK: “You tell me, JR. If you think this is the first match, it makes you wonder how hard the next match would be or if Otacon would still be in fighting condition for the second match to begin with.”

Otacon enters the ring and heads towards the nearby corner. He unbuckles his belt and raises it up in the air for the fans to see. He poses with the belt for a while and soaks the cheers of the fans. He pulls down the strap and hands it to the referee while he music dies down. Otacon leaves the corner and faces his two opponents.

RK: “Otacon may be our champion, JR, but its impossible for him to have an easy time against these two fellas.”

The bell rings and the two opponents of Otacon have grin on their respective faces. Otacon shrugs before he dares them to ‘come get some’. Vanish and Thornn comply as both men run towards Otacon. Vanish is the first to near the champion, and gets a hard punch for his troubles. Thornn tries to deliver a big boot to the face of the con man, but he ducks down. He delivers a dropkick to the knee of Thornn to take the big man down temporarily. He gets to his feet and Vanish hits a hard body punch before delivering a couple of clubs to the back of the champion. He backs Otacon into the corner where he and the recovered Thornn double team him and rain down the boots.

JR: “Both Vanish and Thornn are stomping a mudhole on our champion.”

Otacon tries to fight back with punches on both men while being cornered, but that doesn’t deter the two men. They continue to hit some powerful kicks to the body of Otacon until the champ slumps down on the corner. Thornn grabs Otacon by the throat with both hands and lifts him up. He spins him around and locks on a full nelson before he slams him right on the mat. Otacon grimaces in pain after he gets slammed on the mat by Thornn.

RK: “OUCH! I felt that one, JR! Thornn just slammed Otacon from a high angle there.”

Vanish tells Thornn to pick Otacon up. The bigger man is happy to oblige as he hauls Otacon up to his feet. However, Otacon latches onto the back of Thornn’s head before he hits him with a sit-down jawbreaker maneuver. Thornn staggers backwards and eventually falls over the ropes and onto the outside of the ring. Otacon gets up and Vanish is there to land a knee to the gut. He tries to whip Otacon, but the champion reverses the whip and catches him with a hiptoss. Otacon bounces off the ropes and delivers a quick elbow drop right on the chest of Vanish. Otacon gets up quickly to deliver some hard stomps on the chest cavity of Vanish yet again. While he is busy hauling one half of Frgile Minds, the tall Thornn re-enters the ring from behind. He scoops up Vanish for a body slam, but he feels someone just pulled Vanish off him from behind. So obviously, he turns around to meet a big boot to his face.

JR: “Thornn has come back to the ring, and he just spared his partner from a bodyslam. Another thing he did, King, greeted the champ with a big boot to the face. What a devastating move that is!”
RK: “Yeah JR, especially if the feet of the one who delivers it is more than a size 12.”

Thorn picks up Otacon and hits him with some clubbing blows to the back. He throws the champion into the nearby corner and follows up with an elbow smash to the face. Otacon falls down like a ton of bricks as both Fragile Minds member stomp down on the champion. After a few kicks on him, Otacon slowly rises up and is actually helped up by his opponents. Vanish and Thornn proceed to whip him into the ropes and this proves to be a fatal mistake as Otacon comes back to take both men down with clotheslines.

JR: “Dual clotheslines for both Vanish and Thornn!!!”

Otacon is up and sees Vanish get up. He clocks Vanish with a hard punch and Vanish goes back down. Thornn is the next one up and he gets put down by a vicious clothesline from the champ. Vanish is hauled up by Otacon and he stumbles into the corner after a hard chop to the chest. Otacon works on Vanish at the corner with a couple of more chops to the chest until Thornn comes up from behind. Thornn grabs Otacon and spins him around, but Otacon meets him with some fast hands in the face before he hits a hard dropkick that sends Thornn over the ropes. Thornn does not go to the outside of the ring, however, but lands on the apron. Otacon tries to attack him, but Thornn grabs him by the head and hotshots him on the top rope.

JR: “The odds stacked against Otacon seem to overpower the champ, King.”

Otacon turns around groggily stumbles into Vanish who catches him with a neckbreaker. Vanish quickly goes for the pin.

JR: “Here is the pin..1..2..NO! Kickout by Otacon.”

Otacon gets to his feet and Vanish catches him with a hard knee to the gut. He holds the head of Otacon while Thornn re-enters the ring and delivers a running big boot to the face of Otacon. Otacon falls to the mat and holds his face while the two men stomp down on him. Otacon eventually gets to his feet by help of the ropes, but this doesn’t end his troubles. Thornn grabs him by the neck and toss him back-first into the nearby corner. Afterwards, Thornn chokes him using the boot. The referee gets in between after the five count and keeps Fragile Minds out of the way before they risk a DQ decision.

JR: “Otacon is really struggling to survive, King.”
RK: “But JR, I don’t know about you. If Otacon SOMEHOW gets a win here, I’d be an instant fan of his. But that doesn’t look like its gonna happen tonight. These two men aren’t just regular wrestlers, they are dangerous men.”

Thornn tries to charge into the corner where Otacon is, but Otacon meets him with a boot to the face. The big man staggers backwards and Otacon climbs to the top rope before delivering a double axe handle smash on the head of Thornn. Thornn goes down holding his head while Vanish chages at Otacon. Otacon scouts him and delivers a quick drop toe hold. Vanish goes down fast, and his head collides onto the groin region of his partner.

RK: “OH MY…”
JR: “GAWD! That was an awkward landing but Vanish. He just crashed head first onto his partner’s-”
RK: “Don’t say it JR, were in live national television here. Lets just say he gave his partner some..’head’..yeah that’s it.”
JR: “But King, that did still come out as somewhat, awkward on its own.”

Most of the fans break out in laughter after the comical landing of Vanish head on his partner’s groin. Vanish rolls out off Thornn, while the big man holds the damaged goods. Otacon has a grin on his face before he bounces off the ropes and delivers a running elbow drop onto the face of Thornn. He delivers another elbow drop before he picks him up. Otacon delivers a nasty headbutt onto the big member of the Fragile Minds tag team and it sends him backwards into the ropes. Otacon delivers a clothesline and he ships out Thorrn to the outside.

RK: “Thornn got out of the ring, and Otacon wants to isolate the smaller member of Fragile minds. Kind of smart thinking here in part of the champ huh JR?”
JR: “Why of course, King. Its divide and conquer. He might be outnumbered, but he needs to do anything in his power to get the advantage out of this.”

Vanish gets to his feet and Otacon meets him with some fast hands to his head. A groggy Vanish is whipped into the ropes and Otacon catches him with an inverted atomic drop. Otacon follows up with a hard clothesline and Vanish goes down. The crowd pops as Otacon goes towards the nearby corner and crouches down to prepare a spear.

RK: “I am sensing some trouble here, JR!”
JR: “Indeed there will be, King. This will not bode well for Vanish.”

Otacon tries to run, but Absinthe holds his leg from the outside. Otacon turns his attention to Absinthe and shakes her off from his leg. However, that was the only distraction needed as Thornn is on the apron and delivers a hard clothesline towards Otacon. Thornn gets into the ring and lifts up the champion while Vanish recovers. Thornn holds Otacon in a dragon sleeper position before he delivers his finisher called the Aurora’s Slumber.

RK: “A dragon cutter into cutter bomb, JR! DAMN!”
JR: “That is Thornn’s finishing move, King, the Aurora’s Slumber.”
RK: “I bet the champ is slumbering now.”

Otacon is down and Vanish pins him for the count.

JR: “Here is the count, 1…2….3! DAMN IT! These two men just got the win over the champion!”

The fans boo loudly as “Land Of Confusion” hits the speakers. The two members of Fragile Minds exit the ring and celebrate it outside with their manager Absinthe. Inside the ring, Otacon is being checked up by the referee.

THII: “The winners as a result of pinfall, FRAGILE MINDS!!!”

JR: “This is uncalled for, King! Those bastards cheated to get a win! That succubus known as Absinthe distracted the champion just enough that he could get cheap shotted by Thornn.”
RK: “Bah who cares, it was a great match. Otacon might have lost but I don’t deny his fighting spirit. He didn’t give up even though he knew that it would have been a handicap match.”

With the trio already gone from ringside, Otacon slowly recovers to his feet and gets a standing ovation. However, they turn into boos as John Crook appears on the X-Tron.

JC: “Otacon, I hope you can get your ass up the canvas now, cause your just booked into another match. This time, its going to be for your World Title!”

Otacon, hunched down as he is on both feet, slowly tilts his head upwards to face the X-Tron. In a tired state, all he could do is just shake his head slowly to react on the announcement.

JC: “That’s right, Otacon, and your match is against KARL BALLER!”

The fans get a very huge reaction of mixed cheers and boos.

JR: “BAH GAWD! DID YOU HEAR THAT KING?!”
RK: “Whoa, after getting a loss in a handicap match the champ needs to fight KB to hold onto his title. This isn’t going at the champ’s direction huh JR?”

“Hate it or luv” plays and a hesitant KB slowly enters the ringside area with a mic on his hand. He turns around and faces the X-Tron where JC is shown. His music dies down and he pulls up the mic towards his lips.

KB: “Man, I know I earned the shot at the champ, but that’s for Starrcade yo! Damn it Crook, you putting me up to this? I aint gonna do it, Otacon’s not 100% for a match now. I may like to get the gold, but not this way man, this aint right.”

JC: “Oh, is that so Karl? Well its too bad! If you refuse now, not only will you forfeit your match at starrcade, but you will be FIRED! You hear me?!”

KB: “Well damn it Crook, if ya think Imma have to get fired for doing whats right..GO AHEAD MAN! I GOT NOTHIN TO LOSE! NOT MY PRIDE NOR MY DIGNITY! YOU HEAR ME?!”

JC: “*laughs* Yeah, the only thing you’ll be losing is a job! Guess you’ll be heading to the unemployment office tomorrow cause as of this moment Karl Baller..your fi-”

Otacon: “STOP IT! Karl, do what the hell is right…and that’s getting your ass in the ring!”

JC is silenced while KB slowly turns around to look at the ring. Inside the ring Otacon is on both feet and glares at KB.

Otacon: “Now if you don’t wanna get in this ring, I’ll just have to go down there and drag your ass up here!”

Otacon drops the mic and crouches down as he dares KB on. The fans cheer and start to chant “Fight!” at both competitors before KB shrugs and speaks on the mic.

KB: “Changed my mind Crook, time to get this s*** started!”

He drops his mic and charges down the rampway. He slides into the ring and both men staredown at each other before the bell rings.

RK: “KB sure has some quick legs, JR.”

KB waits for Otacon to get to a vertical base before he grabs him by the head. KB delivers some hard clubs to the back of Otacon before he takes him down with a hard axehandle on the back of his head.

RK: “You see that shot JR? THAT was brutal!”
JR: “Karl Baller may be friends with Otacon, but it doesn’t mean the K.I.D. will go soft on him.”

Otacon is reeled into by KB who delivers another hard knee to the sternum that sends the champion down. Otacon slowly sits up, but KB locks in a chinlock from behind.

KB locks in the move, but is forced to break it up as Otacon grabs the nearby ropes. KB picks up Otacon, but the champion clams onto the head of KB before delivering a modified jawbreaker on the KID. KB staggers backwards and into the nearby ropes before Otacon completely clotheslines him out of the ring.

JR: “Karl Baller is forced out of the ring by Otacon! Baller is slowly getting to his feet on the outside right now.”

KB finally gets up but it is too late as Otacon bounces off the other side of the ring and hits a dive through the ropes and collides with KB. Both men are laid out on the outside of the ring as the referee starts to count them out. Otacon is the first man to get to his feet and he lifts Karl Baller up to a vertical base. He grabs him by the head and rolls him back into the ring. Otacon slides back into the square circle and waits for Karl Baller to get up.

JR: “The champ is just stalking Karl Baller right now, King.”
RK: “He wants to go for the kill here, JR.”

JR: “DDT on Otacon and he is laid out on the mat!”

RK: “HEADSHOT! What a brutal DDT that was JR!”

KB looks down at Otacon with a bit of a hesitant look before he eventually pins his opponent. The referee is there to count the pin.

JR: “1-2-3! KARL BALLER IS THE NEW CHAMPION!!!”

The fan reaction of the arena seems mixed as KB is handed the X-WCW Heavyweight Belt. His music hits the speakers and he raises the belt proudly in the air. Otacon gets to his feet and sees KB with the belt. As KB turns around, he and Otacon stare down in the middle of the ring as the music is cut.

JR: “The former champion is up, and he doesn’t look so happy.”
RK: “Something is gonna happen here JR, I know it!”

Soon enough, Otacon extends his hand towards KB. Both men shake hands and hug before Otacon raises the hand of KB while KB uses the other hand to raise his X-WCW belt. His music hits once more before the two men leave the ringside area.

JR: “Otacon might not be the X-WCW Champion anymore, King, but he just showed a true class of a champion by congratulating KB on his win.”
RK: “I gotta tell ya JR, this is a different Otacon that we’ve seen before.”
JR: “Yeah, the old one is a conniving and sick bastard. I guess in handling the Revolution, he learned some valuable lessons in being a true champion for the X-WCW and its fans. Well folks our time is up and for Randal King, this is James Russell..see you next time!”

X-WCW goes off the air as both KB and Otacon walk up the ramp.
