Papa: Well folks... this next one has quite a bit of history behind it... as two ICONS of the sport joined the GTW a few months ago... X-Citing Xian Xaiver, and Steve Holler, AKA The Saxist. Upon joining, the Sax and XXX found themselves with something in common... both HATED the GTW World Champion, Ice. Since XXX and Sax had been both partners and enemies before, they knew each other very well. They both teamed up several times against Ice... but it was a tag team match against Ice and Brian Blade where things turned sour...
*** Black and white highlights play of Sax and XXX arguing during the match... and finally, XXX clocking Saxist with a right hand, leading to Blade and Ice's victory. ***
Papa: The uneasy alliance was broken... and the Saxist was not one to just let it go...
*** Shots of the Saxist attacking Xavier with his saxaphone, among other weapons... chairs, the UOWN title belt... XXX strikes back with weaponary of his own... and it all ends with a CRYSTAL saxaphone being shattered over the Saxist's skull. ***
Papa: With battles fought every week, and the war far from over... Saxist pulled out his trump card...
*** Another flashback... this time, to just two weeks ago... when XXX's longtime friend and partner, the seven foot, three hundred pound "Silent but Violent" Bruce Cornell, shocked the world by CHOKESLAMMING his friend, before it was announced that SbV was the new bodyguard of the Saxist! As the highlight reel ends, we go to ringside... where the gigantic pole has been erected... and the Saxist's saxaphone of choice, a 2002 model stainless steel black laquer Yamaha Alto Saxophone.
*** Papa: Well folks, this is going to be one hell of a contest... we've got two seasoned veterans in here... two ICONS if you will, and they will be going at it, going at it like there's no tomorrow... this one isn't about a championship, it isn't about being a contendor... it isn't about pinning your opponent, it isn't about making him submit... this my friends, is personal... there is a lot of emotion involved in this match, and we'll be running the gauntlet of the heart here, I'm sure...
Crocker: Papa what the hell are you talking about?
Papa: Shut up Crock. Let's go to Ben Richmond...
DING DING DING!!!
Ben Richmond: Ladies and gentlemen... this match... is a SAXAPHONE ON A POLL MATCH!!!
*** Pop ***
Richmond: The rules are simple... the first man to climb the pole in the corner and grab that saxaphone can use it as a weapon against his opponent!
Crocker: Papa, does that mean that if Sax gets the instrument, that XXX can't use it?
Papa: Of course not! Both men can use it!
Crocker: But... Ben just said it, the FIRST MAN to climb the pole can use it... and in my scenario, the Saxist is the first man...
Papa: Zip it Crock.
Richmond: INTRODUCING FIRST...
*** The crowd boos as "Sing, Sing, Sing" starts up. ***
Richmond: He hails from Valrico, California... weighing in at 224 lbs., standing at 5'11"... he is accompanied to the ring by his bodyguard, "Silent but Violent" Bruce Cornell... he is a musician, a technician, and a wrestling legend... THE SAXIST!!!
*** Every person in the arena is on their feet as the Sax makes his way out to the ring. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, we can't see his eyes, but a wide grin goes from ear to ear. He enters the ring, climbing the turnbuckles in the corner with the pole... he points directly up to the black saxaphone... and then to his t-shirt, which reads... AMAZING STUPENDOUS OMNIPOTENT RING BEAST, while mouthing off to the crowd. The silent giant, Cornell, stands in the middle of the ring, his arms crossed. ***
Crocker: Ha! Look at how confident the Saxist is! He's not scared of Xavier one bit!
Papa: Well gee Crock, I wonder why he's so happy... maybe it's because he has a god damn GIANT in his corner??? What the hell is Cornell doing out here anyway??? This is a NO DQ match from my understanding of the rules... he has NO BUSINESS out here!
Crocker: No BUSINESS??? Papa, he's Saxist's bodyguard... what if somebody tries to attack him???
Papa: Tries to attack him my ass... Cornell is out here for no reason other then to interfere and get the Saxist the win... the fact that he's even ALLOWED at ringside... just goes to show how adamant our "commisioner" is about allowing a fair fight! He couldn't give a damn!
Crocker: Hey! Watch how you talk about the commis--- I mean HERR Commisioner!
Papa: Whatever...
Richmond: And his opponent...
*** Pop as "Seamless" by American Head Charge starts to play... ***
Richmond: From Elmira, New York... he weighs in at 248 lbs... X-CITING XIAN XAIVER!!!
Papa: Well... Xavier is walking to the ring... with a lot on his mind, no doubt... the odds here... they are stacked against him... but he might just be able to pull it out...
DING DING DING!!!
Papa: And here we go!!! Xavier going right in there... BAM!!! Rocks the Saxist with a right hand! BAM!!! There's another!!! Third time... BOOM!!! Saxist lands flat on his ass!!!
*** Big pop as XXX screams at the Saxist to get up ***
Papa: The Saxist now... sliding over to his corner... the referee holding XXX back... Saxist being slapped on the shoulders by Bruce Cornell there... and he finally decides to get up... Xavier... charges at Sax again... OH!!! Sax strikes with a nice kick to the midsection! Sax with a couple of right hands... has Xavier by the head... taking him to the corner... going to bang XXX's head against the turnbuckle... NO!!! XXX blocks it! And... BAM!!! He rams Saxist's head into the turnbuckle!!! BAM!!! Again!!! BAM!!! Again!!! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Crocker: Hey!!! What the hell kind of wrestling is this???
Papa: The Saxist is seeing stars!!! He stumbles out from the corner... XXX waiting for him... BAM!!! Another right hand!!! Saxist falls against the ropes... XXX charging and... WHAM!!! Clothesline sends the Sax over the top rope and HARD onto the arena floor!!!
*** The crowd pops as XXX raises his hands! ***
Papa: Xavier taking Sax to the wood shed here this far... as the Sax lies, knocked silly, on the arena floor... Cornell is tending to him... and XXX is trying to get out there!
Crocker: Yeah ref!!! Hold him back!! Hold him back!
Papa: Referee Evan Crocker warning XXX to stay on the inside... the Sax getting some much needed recovery time... he needs to regroup!
Crocker: Yeah... see, that's what they call a rope-a-dope tactic Papa... he's trying to tire XXX out by making him come after him... it's ingenious really! I mean... he's not just a super stupendous omnipotent ringbeast... he's a super stupdendous omnipotent and OMNISCIENT ringbeast!!!
Papa: Oh quick, get some duct tape so we can add that word to his t-shirt... give me a break... as the Saxist is milking this for all it's worth here... finally getting back onto the apron... sort of goading XXX towards him... XXX comes over... and Sax jumps off of the apron to the arena floor! Come on!
Crocker: Ha!!! Bait him in! That's it Sax!
Papa: Bait him in... would you give it up Crock!? The Saxist is nothing but a damn PUSSY!!!
Crocker: Papa!!!
Papa: I'll say it and I won't regret it Crock... we're on Pay Per View, after all... but the Sax really needs to get in that ring! XXX coming over... Evan Crocker still holding him back... and... HEY!!! The Saxist has XXX by the boots!!! He pulls his feet out from under him... and he's dragging him out of the ring!!! Come on!!!
Crocker: HA! I told you Papa, baiting him! Papa: Yeah... you'd know all about baiting Crock... in fact, I heard that you're a MASTER at it...
Crocker: You bet your... hey, wait a second...
Papa: The Saxist now kicking the crap out of XXX as he lays on the arena floor!!! This is ridiculous!!! Referee Evan Crocker out there now... pushing the Sax off of the X-Man... Saxist arguing with the ref... and... HEY!!! Behind the ref's back... Cornell is stomping away on Xavier!!!
Crocker: Yeah!!! That'll show him to use those illegal closed fist punches!
Papa: Cornell now picking XXX up... high overhead... gorrilla press slam.. and... OH MY GOD!!! He drops Xavier neck-first onto the guardrail!!! The referee turning around... Cornell has backed off, so Evan doesn't suspect a thing... and now the Saxist is stomping on Xavier again!!! Sax lifts the X-Man up... BAM!!! Throws him right into the ringsteps!!! Xavier crashes over them... Saxist now... takes a running start... to the steps... leaps over them and... BAM!!! Legdrop onto Xavier!!!
Crocker: Nice move!
Papa: The Saxist just showboating now... he knows the advantage that he has here... and now... he enters the ring... heads to the pole... he's going to go for that saxaphone!!!
Crocker: He's got it! He's gonna knock Xavier's block off with that thing!
Papa: The Saxist climbing the turnbuckles... he's got to shimmy up that pole... wait a second... Xavier... in the ring... he's heading over to that corner... he wraps his arms around the Saxist in a waistlock... and... WOAH!!! Belly-to-back superplex!!! The Sax crashes to the mat!!! Xavier now... getting to his feet... and making a cover!!!
1... 2...
Papa: And the Sax kicks out!!! The saxaphone almost didn't get involved in this match! Xavier pulls the Saxist up... sends him into the ropes... and... WOAH!!! Flapjacks him!!! Now... climbing the turnbuckles... LOOK OUT!!! SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT!!! Xavier makes another cover!!!
1... 2...
Papa: And the Saxist kicks out once again! Xavier now... into the ropes... and... HEY!!! Cornell grabs him by the foot!!! XXX turns around... the referee over there, questioning Cornell... XXX trying to take a shot at him... but... this is allowing the Saxist... time to get to his feet... and... BAM!!! Dropkick to the inside of the knee!!!
Crocker: Ouch!!!
Papa: Xavier crumples into a heap on the mat!!! And Saxist grabs the leg he just dropkicked... BAM!!! Rams it into the canvas!!! BAM!!! Again!!!
*** The crowd boos as the Saxist smiles... ***
Papa: The Saxist now... lifting Xavier up... Xavier hobbling on that leg... and... WOAH!!! Sax takes him back down to the mat with a legwhip!!! Holding that leg up... BAM!!! Nails it with a kick! BAM!!! There's another! Now... dragging him over to the ropes... setting that leg up in between the bottom and second rope... and... BAM!!! Saxist drops all of his weight onto the leg!!! Again!!! Again!!!
Crocker: The Saxist is tearing that leg apart!!! XXX will be tapping in no time!!!
Papa: Maybe tapping is not what the Sax is looking for... perhaps he just wants to make sure that XXX can't climb the turnbuckles!!! The Saxist now... has XXX in a waistlock... and... OH!!! Shinbreaker!!! XXX down on the mat... that leg is in some serious pain here... and the Saxist... he's going to go for the saxaphone again!!!
*** Crowd boos as the Saxist begins climbing the turnbuckles adjacent to the pole... ***

WAIT A SECOND!!!! XXX dives across the ring... brings his weight down on the top rope!!! The rope moves under the Sax's feet.... and... he loses his balance!!! OH!!!

1... 2...
Papa: WOW!!! XXX kicks out... GREAT MOVE by the Saxist!!!
Crocker: Finally Papa, you see the super stupendous omnipotent ring beast tendencies of the Saxist!!!
Papa: No... I'm just doing my job Crock... being IMPARTIAL.
Crocker: What's that mean?
Papa: XXX is down on the mat... still feeling a lot of pain in that worn-out leg of his... the Saxist is up though... and he's going to that leg again... wrapping XXX in a figure-four leglock.... NO!!! XXX counters with a boot to the face!!! The Sax falls back... XXX is up... Sax getting back to his feet as well... he charges to XXX... jumps for a high cross-bodyblock... NO!!! XXX ducks!!!
