--------------'Independence Day' cyber sunday event on July 3rd, 2011 from our nation's capitol in Washington DC. Coming to you LIVE! from the Verizon Center only on HBO.
The scene opens up with a LIVE! inside look at the Verizon Center and the 22,176 fans on their feet for this one!! The arena is estatic right now, and we see various signs throughout the arena. Such as: "TV_MA", "Bring back YORK!", "S.O.S.", "Get the Tables!", "HELL in a CELL", "Shotgun sucks!", and even "Dark Stranger for President." From there we immediately cut to a video package for tonight's main event. We take a look at a FLASHBACK that spans over an entire year of XWF wrestling. With a soundtrack that is referenced back to the movie From Dusk Til Dawn, "Dark Night".
*****Starts off with FLASHBACK of "TV_MA", and Carlos Shotgun feud. Including how Chris Falkenyork, Sasha Shotgun, and Mr. Lucente all play vital roles in their heated rivalry for different reasons. The feud first started at "Xtreme Mania: Decade" where "TV MA" Mark Adkins was invited to be the special guest referee for an "I Quit" match involving York vs. Shotgun. However, the end of the match saw Adkins dumping Shotgun's wife out of the ring, and witnessing Sasha accidentally hit her heads off the steel steps. She would slip in to a slight coma for a few weeks, and their rivalry would just start to heat up.
Shotgun: "I should had fucking crippled you when I had the chance Mark Adkins. I should had taken away your career before it even began. That is a mistake I won’t ever make again. Mark my words Mark Adkins, your career will end by my hand. At KoX I will not stop until I cover the ring with your blood."
TV_MA: "I took on that match knowing damn well that I would fuck your world up. You see I just can't wait to get my hands on Sasha and have her truly be deflowered, because a woman is not yet deflowered until she is deflowered by me. I can feel the excitement tensing up my muscles and rattling my bones. Can you feel it Shotgun? Ha. You honestly and truly believe that YOU can end ME? Please. Now quite frankly Shotgun, you need me."
The feud continued though after their big encounter at "King of Xtreme" that witnessed Carlos Shotgun defeat "TV MA" after placing him in a brutal ankle lock. Adkins would pass out due to blood loss, and the referee at the time would call the match in favor of Carlos Shotgun. By winning that match it meant Sasha wouldn't be forced to be Mark's slave for a year. However, Carlos also won ONE FAVOR from him (which was provided by Mr. Lucente in the 1st place), and he used it to cash in at "Xtreme Battle Zone".
It was "TV MA" Mark Adkins winning the XWF World Title for the very first time in his career. Only to lose it minutes later to a returning Shotgun who cashed in on his ONE FAVOR at that moment. Carlos Shotgun would ultimately win the match after an Elbow Drop, and a Bullet Bomb!! But, their feud would continue all the way through "Xtreme Mania 6", and they would actually be scheduled to headline that event. With the XWF World Title on the line there was more at stake in a '3 Stages of Death' match. A never before seen match that was very well executed on their part. But, the build up for the event was obvious. 2 men who don't like each other one bit.
TV_MA: "Carlos Shotgun, take a look at Sasha and think again. You can polish up that piece of tin, take pictures, take many pictures because the time that THAT strap is around your waist is coming to an end. I will not stop, even if this means that I must put my body on the line, my health, my career, it doesn't matter. XtremeMania, it ends. Close the book, Game Over, you do NOT pass go and collect a thousand dollars. Whether it be a Guttermouth, a Motivation 450, a Fuzzy Logic, or a Late Term Abortion, the kitchen sink will be brung. I end this Shotgun, not you..."
Shotgun: "I look at you Mark Adkins and I can see the damage has been done. You are no longer the same man who intimidated the whole world. You are no longer the man who had the XWF by the balls. You have grown soft, a parody of what you used to be."
TV_MA: "Carrrrrrrlooooosssssss....come out and plaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.....Carrrrrloosssssssssssss....come out and plaaaaaayyyyyyyy"
Shotgun: "I look at you Adkins… and I see a gimmick, a puppet, a man who bought into the system. Face it Adkins, I broke you down. You are in a war you can not win. You looked me in the eyes and blinked and now it’s my time."
After "Xtreme Mania 6" however "TV_MA" Mark Adkins left no doubt in people's minds that he can get it done. He won the 1st stage, and lost the 2nd stage. Only to go in to that 3rd, and final stage of death for that Ironman match. Which saw Adkins down 2-0 early, and somehow mount an incredible comeback against Shotgun. Everyone thought Carlos Shotgun could put him away. Even with just over 5 minutes to go it looked like Carlos A. Shotgun would walk out XWF World Champion. But, it didn't happen that way. With nearly 2 minutes to go the match ended like this ...
Shotgun holds the tire iron in his right hand, and he goes to lift Adkins chin up with his left hand. Adkins is struggling to get off the ground, and Carlos is just taunting him further. He yells something in his ear. He slaps the back of his head a bit, and he raises the tire iron high in his right hand. Suddenly, Adkins kicks Shotgun in the gut out of nowhere, Shotgun drops the tire iron, and Adkins plants him with an End on 5!! .. "1, 2, 3!" He hit that newly named finisher out of nowhere, and won the XWF World Heavyweight Championship for only the 2nd time in his career. Even though "Xtreme Mania 6" was quite the spectacle. Their feud hasn't quite ended yet. Carlos Shotgun wants another run at the XWF World Title, and he got it after "TV_MA" Mark Adkins interfered in his #1 contender's match this past Showdown! He ran down with a steel chair in hand, and clocked Carlos Shotgun across the skull. Forcing the referee to rule in favor of Shotgun over Xavier Phoenix. Now, this week leading up to tonight's "Independence Day" event.. neither man has been at a loss of words.
Shotgun: "Your lust for my wife is well documented Adkins. You have put your hands on her before, have you not?"
TV_MA: "I think you are getting the whole situation wrong Carlos. I'm not in love with your wife. Your wife...is in love with ME. You see I look back in time and remember the days we used to be on the road together, you'd have Sasha there always. I'd get to talk to her a bit here and there. I look at your precious daughter Adriana. And gosh darn it she looks half Puerto Rican and half Polish to me! . . ..... ...You ever get a DNA test on your little kid Shotty? You ever really see if she was yours? You never questioned it?"
Shotgun: "Mark Adkins, you have to make sure I’m here standing in front of you. You NEED me to be your antagonist. Every hero needs a villain, every ying has a yang and you Mark Adkins, you need a Shotgun for your Adkins because the truth is, the only time people even remotely give a shit about you is when you’re working with me. From the start I have been the one doing all the work, giving all the star power; from the start I’ve been bringing in the fans, the ratings and the credibility. Mark Adkins, if it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t be world champion. You have made your career at my expense and I won’t fucking have it anymore."
TV_MA: "This right here was something that always eluded me here in the XWF. You are gonna say you let me be the Rogue Elite. That it was because of you I became somebody. On the contrary Shotgun, I think I was your biggest promoter, and you kept ducking me."
Shotgun: "Mark Adkins, whether you like it or not, everything you have done and everything you have accomplished has been because of me. You became the rogue elite cause I allowed you to."
TV_MA: "What a sad story it is that, of Carlos Shotgun. You turned your back on these people, and the people, the Apostles had no choice but to turn to me. You see I know that everyone may say that I'm demented, derranged, maniacal. And I agree. But when you say to yourself Chuck, "I'm special", I start to chuckle to myself. Really Carlos? You're special? What is it? The money? The success? Or was it...your mommy? Is that how it was Carlos?"
Shotgun: "Your first and only XM main event was because of me. Hell, the only reason you won the world title at XBZ is because I wanted you to, that way when I took it everything would be so much sweeter… and it was. Without me none of that would have happened Adkins. ...... .... ..And yet I see it in your eyes, you simply won’t let go, will you? Adkins, get this through your head, you will NEVER have my money, you will NEVER have my fame, you will NEVER have my spotlight, you will NEVER have my life… and for the record, you will NEVER have my wife. That’s what this is all about… isn’t it Mark?"
TV_MA: "Carlos Shotgun thinks he's special. No no no he KNOWS he's special. Carlos Shotgun says Mark Adkins is in love with Sasha, and can't live without the Shotguns. Carlos Shotgun is dellusional. You know what it really is Shotty? You know what I trully love? I love inflicting pain onto YOU."
Shotgun: "This obsession stems from the fact that I have everything and you have nothing. Your dementia is rooted on the fact that I have the life you wish, nay, you BELIEVE you deserve. You want the mansions, you want power, the money… you want her love, don’t you?"
TV_MA: "I get so fucking high off of beating your ass it's unbelievable. I crave it. I'm addicted to it. So when I knew that I had the opportunity to face you again, I made sure Xavier Pheonix didn't win. And you know what the best part was? Hitting YOU over the head with a steel chair. Ohhh ohh ohh did that feel good."
Shotgun: "Mark Adkins, once I put the pieces together your sad reality became quite apparent. The psychopath, the maniac, the demented Mark Adkins is nothing more than an emo punk who’s in love with someone else’s wife. How fucking pathetic."
TV_MA: "I could feel the electricity from the Apostles getting their freedom. Their freedom from you. Indepence Day is apon us Carlos A. Shotgun. Once again you and I will square off for the world heavyweight title. MY championship."
Shotgun: "I am perfection, and you are not. When Independence Day is over I will take my newly won world championship, I will head to my expensive hotel room and make love to my beautiful wife while you, you will sit in torment knowing that you were beaten once more, humiliated and that no matter how hard you tried, in the end you’re still Mark Adkins, the dumb motherfucker who thought could become the legendary Carlos A. Shotgun."
TV_MA: "Unfortunately for you, it's my time AGAIN. So keep it in mind, I'LL bring the violence, you just bring your ASS!"
That intense video package ends with those two screaming faces.*****
That's when we fade back in to the Verizon Center in Washington DC, and fireworks are going off everywhere!! It is a celebration as pyros, and other explosions go off!!!! People are celebrating here on the weekend of 4th of July, and the XWF fans look more pumped than ever!!! We then cut immediately in to the opening video package for our cyber sunday event coming to you LIVE! on HBO ...... it's July 3rd, and it's time for ... "INDEPENDENCE DAY"!!!!
Then immediately after that video package we cut to XWF Owner/President- Mr. Lucente who appears on the screen, and LIVE! to the people inside the Verizon Center right on that huge titantron.
Mr. Lucente: Well, well well. Here we are! Tonight has a lot of questions surrounding it don't it? A lot of speculation this time around. Washington DC, .. S.O.S.?? D.O.D.??? ... And what's the deal with the recent sightings of Xavier Phoenix seen with Caleb Cross? .... No bother, tonight will be memorable.. the first ever Cyber Sunday Event for the XWF in history!! And a special thanks to HBO for hosting this event, and all our tuesday episodes of Showdown!.. that are also repeated throughout HBO After Dark. But, enough of me, and on to more important things. Like coming Up next .... by order of GM, Shawn Taylor... someone will be FIRED!! ...... Have a nice day.
We cut to ringside where inside the ring L.E.E.D.S, and "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton are awaiting the arrival of the 3rd competitor in this match. Suddenly, Gigantis' theme music hits, and out comes the big boheamoth of a man. He makes his way down the aisle, and the fans gawk at him. He walks up the steel steps, and easily steps over the top rope. They all lock eyes standing in triangle formation. They are awaiting the official word before they start off this Three-way (elimination style) match.
"Dangerous" Cliff Saxton vs. L.E.E.D.S. vs. Gigantis - Three way match (elimination style.) -- The first one pinned will be FIRED. Last one left is the WINNER.
The BELL Sounds! And this match is underway. Alex "Cool" Beand, and James Shaw provide commentary as always. They make mention that Mitch Keller, Bob Levy, and Flo Stanley will all be on hand tonight backstage. Also, Danielle Worley will be announcing all the competitors throughout the night! They admit how excited they are to witness this cyber sunday event tonight. Cliff Saxton, and Leeds lock up-- Cliff works him in to the corner, and throws a few inside elbows to his chin! He knees him in the gut a couple times, and tosses him head over hills down to the mat. Gigantis stands back, and takes it all in. He doesn't strike, or go on the offensive at all. He just watches Cliff Saxton wear Leeds down on the mat. Gigantis raises his 2 large arms up in the air, and the XWF fans respond with cheers!! They roar in excitement for that giant of a man, and Cliff stands back off of Leeds. He allows Gigantis to rip him off the mat in a Vice Grip hold, and just use Leeds as a rag doll. Whipping him in the air back, and fourth. Just man-handling Leeds, and then tosses him hard to the canvas! Cliff immediately puts the boots to Leeds, and then slowly lifts him off the mat. He takes a look back at Gigantis before lifting Leeds up in an Angle Slam formation and then viciously dropping him with that signature move known as the "Cliff Hanger"!! He covers Leeds up for the simple 1, 2, 3!!
The XWF fans are cheering for Cliff Saxton as he pins this loser Leeds. They are happy because he is FIRED, and they do a chant of "na na na na wavvvvee gooodbyyye." The commentators James Shaw, and Alex "Cool" Beans talk about him being officially FIRED from the XWF, and speculate what is about to happen here now. That's when Cliff Saxton bounces back to his feet, and stares out at that monster Gigantis. They both look each other over, and "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton looks he is debating what to do. But, he goes to possibly strike Gigantis, and the beast throws him quickly in to a deadly Vice Grip. However, Cliff puts a hand up to the beast, and lets him know everything is okay. Gigantis pulls him in close, and looks him directly in the eyes. He kind of half tosses him back a step, and releases the hold. They share a slight glance, and the XWF fans are stirring. Gigantis nods towards Cliff Saxton, and he nods back. That's when Gigantis steps over the top rope to the outside apron. Cliff Saxton walks over near him, and he steps to the outside apron. Gigantis, and him both step down then. They make their way up the ramp, and referee begins his outside 10-count. The fans are buzzing right now, and they can't believe what's happening. The announcers speculate are they in cahoots??? They both walk up the ramp, and through the curtain as the referee reaches his 10-count. Meaning they both leave on their own to a Double Countout.
Match Grade: C-, Match Duration: 2 minutes, and 17 seconds, Match Results: Leeds is FIRED, and then a double-countout.
Quick look inside the General Manager's office, and GM Shawn Taylor looks furious as he watches a monitor backstage!!
We then cut to the ReArrangers walking in to the building with their Tag Team Championship belts, and Heather Black walking along side them...
---------------
Up next Caleb Cross is standing by with Flo Stanley.
Caleb Cross: You ask an interesting question Flo. But, yes .. of course I'm excited for this Table's Match. Last week on Showdown! .. this bum just caught me off guard, and that's what he was.. a bum. This week!! On "Independence Day"... I seperate myself from the pack, and I put this bum through a TABLE!!!
Caleb Cross walks away towards the ring, and then we quickly cut to the "Insane Homicidal" Justice Legal's locker room.
Justice Legal is shown talking to a group of people wearing hoods, and some seeming to be a few managers. One of them is identified as Mephistophele. That would be the manager of the man known as 'Legally Insane'. Possibly members of the already established stable D.O.D. That's the 'Dungeon of Death' to those who aren't quite aware yet. As he does some last minute preparations for his big Tables Match up next.
Justice Legal vs. Caleb Cross - Tables Match!!! --
Caleb Cross is introduced first, and he comes out to a decent reaction from the crowd!! They respond well to him, and when Justice Legal comes out the people immediately start boo'ing him. They give this newcomer a lot of heat, and he makes his way in to the ring. There are 2 tables already set up on the outside of the ring now. But, they don't focus on that right away. The bell sounds, and they simply go at it!!! Unloading fists on each other. Justice Legal winning at first, and knocking him back in to the ropes. But, Caleb works him back to the middle of the ring. "The Prodigy" then sends Legally Insane across the ring in an irish whip, and when he comes bouncing back he's met with a hip toss! Caleb Cross starts stomping away on the back of Justice Legal!! He puts the boots to him, and then goes off the ropes coming back with an Over the Neck SNAP!! Paying tribute to Mr. Perfect as he turns around kicking the kid across the chest. Caleb goes to work on Justice Legal for most of the beginning of this match. Hitting a Body Slam! Then drilling a Back Breaker! He goes to the 2nd turnbuckle, and drops an elbow on his forehead! But, not yet going for the table! Caleb Cross executes an Atomic Drop to Justice Legal, and drops him with a clothesline! He gets down on the mat, and rubs his forearm in Legally Insane's face. Just grinding on him with that elbow. He then lifts him to his feet. But, Justic Legal reverses an irish whip, and he sends Caleb Cross back first in to that turnbuckle!! Justice Legal rushes in, and collapses Caleb Cross with a hard elbow to the jaw!! That shot drops Cross, and Legal goes outside for a table. He slides it in the ring, and starts stomping away on Caleb Cross. He places the table in the corner, and then lifts Caleb Cross up to his feet. He plants Cross with a High Angle Suplex!! He drops him hard, and stands to his feet throwing his arms up in an 'X-formation'. Suddenly, the LIGHTS GO OUT.
When the lights come back on. To everyone's surprise it is CRIMSON TIDE who is sitting behind the announcer's table, and he is doing guest commentatory now! Justice Legal doesn't spot him right away. But, when he does. He smiles, and then points out towards Tide. He motions with his finger for him to step inside this ring with him. Caleb Cross attacks from behind, and puts a forearm to the back of Legal's skull! He rolls him up for a quick pin. But, then steps through, and actually turns Legal over for a Boston Crab in the center of the ring! But, Justice Legal turns his body over, and pushes Cross off of him with his legs. Justice Legal scrambles to his feet. He goes for a clothesline but Caleb Cross ducks him. Cross then starts throwing stiff right jabs in to his face. He goes for a kick to the gut. But, Justice Legal catches his foot, and lays him out with a solid clothesline!! He then looks back over his shoulder at the table, and picks Cross up. He backs him up to the opposite corner, and goes to irish whip him in to that table set up in the corner. However, Cross reverses it, and Justice Legal back slams that table. But, doesn't break it. Caleb Cross rushes in for a Spare Tackle. But, Legal grabs the ropes, and pulls himself towards the outside apron. Cross catches himself before he goes through it, and stops dead in his tracks. He goes to grab Justice Legal by the hair from over the top rope. But, Justice Legal was playing possum a bit, and grabs Caleb's head. Falling off backwards from the apron, and snapping his Caleb's neck on that top rope!! Justice Legal recollects himself, and walks over to Crimson Tide. He says he didn't mean anything by calling him out. He just wanted to talk to you. No hard feelings ... he just wants Tide to join his group D.O.D. That's when Caleb Cross comes outside from behind, and grabs Justice Legal by the hair from the back. He goes to slam his head in to the commentator's table, and embarass him in front of Hall of Famer, Crimson Tide. However, Justice Legal blocks it, and slams Caleb Cross' head in to the commentator's table.. over, and over!! He actually receives a decent pop from the crowd as he rolls Caleb Cross in the ring, and pleads with Crimson Tide some more. Justice Legal then rolls back in the ring, and locks up with Caleb Cross. Somehow Justice Legal works his way behind Caleb Cross, and goes to plant him with a Belly-to-Back Suplex. But, Caleb Cross blocks it, and instead steps behind him. He goes for a Belly-to-Back Suplex now. But, Justice Legal lifts his back leg, and low blows Caleb Cross!! He then lifts him up off the ground, and plants him with an Aztec Suplex!! Caleb Cross is laid out hard with that move, and Justice Legal pulls that table off the corner. He sets it up in the center of the ring, and then eyes down Caleb Cross on the canvas. Suddenly, Crimson Tide is done talking on commentatory, and steps up on the outside apron. Justice Legal turns around, and notices him. He says something to Crimson Tide, and then out of nowhere Tide slaps him across the face!! Causing him to turnaround in a Spinebuster! The XWF crowd pops hard for Caleb Cross for some reason. As he signals for, and eventually follows that move up with his brutal finisher known as the "Justice Hammer" thru the table!!.. This match is officially over, and "The Prodigy" Caleb Cross is the winner.
Match Grade: B, Match Duration: 12 minutes, and 8 seconds, Match Results: Caleb Cross wins with "Justice Hammer".
Afterwards, Caleb Cross sort of gets in his face, and points a finger at him. He yells at Justice Legal, and then walks away to a mixed reaction from the crowd. But, this scene isn't over. As Crimson Tide gets in the ring, and hovers over Justice Legal. He waits for Legally Insane to get to a knee, and then he pulls him in. He slaps him around a bit, and then lays 2 solid right hands in to Justice Legal's face!! He drops him on the canvas with a bloody forehead, and the XWF crowd goes nuts for him!! Crimson Tide then leaves up the ramp, and the fans can't believe what they just saw.
We cut backstage to our General Manager's office with GM Shawn Taylor standing by with "The Game".
"The Game": Tonight. Well, tonight ..I'm going to run through Del Rio in tonight's Hell in a Cell match. That we both already know. And further more.. I can beat the best on the roster. Weather it's Mark Adkins, or Carlos Shotgun .. or ..
GM, Shawn Taylor: Hold it right there. Okay, you get your shot! I'm getting sick n' tired of hearing you make these claims of being the best in the buisness right now. You think you're worthy of being in our main event?
Yeah, that's right.
Good. Good! You will face the LOSER of tonight's main event.. at our next Showdown! on July 26th. How bout that?
It's about time. It's TIME to play THE GAME!!!
After "The Game" claims he can beat anyone on the roster ... that's when we cut back to ringside, and Justice Legal battered, and bruised on the microphone.
Justice Legal is standing in the center of that ring out there, and you could see where he got the name Legally Insane.
Justice Legal: You know what .... you know what?? I didn't want it to happen his way. I had other plans for us. But, right now... I know you're still in the building! Get your ass out here. I'm calling you out Crimson Tide if you have any GUTS!!
It doesn't take long, and "Sweet Dreams" by Marilyn Manson starts playing as Crimson Tide comes out, and they get face-to-face. Justice Legal slowly raises the microphone, and asks him again politely.
.. do you want to join the Dungeon of Death?
Tide looks around the arena, and hears all the screaming fans shouting out at him. He turns, and looks Justice Legal right in the eyes.
Crimson Tide: "No".
Justice Legal shakes his head, and then drops Tide with an open right hand. He goes to work on Tide on the mat. Pounding on him with open fists, and then laying some hard boot shots in on his chest. He rolls out of the ring, and looks under the ring for a Barbwire bat!!! He brings it in the ring, and swings it at all officials who try to stop him. He drops Crimson Tide with that barbwire bat to the chest, and shoulder area. He then beats him repeatidly. Finally, he bends over, and picks up the mic. He squats down next to Crimson Tide, and says,
"I didn't want to do this!! I didn't want to do this!!"
He leaves Crimson Tide on the mat, bloodied.
------ ----- ------ ---
The Hell in the Cell is starting to lower, and backstage Carlos Shotgun is standing by with Bob Levy.
Carlos Shotgun: You know. It's my turn to really earn the respect back of this locker room. This place has been out of control, and in shambles for quite some time. And mostly because of "TV_MA". But, there's more than 1 way to skin a cat. "Thank you very much".
We cut away from Carlos Shotgun's angry face, and we then fade back to ringside with "The Game" coming out to his theme music!! The big 'Hell in a Cell' match that he asked for his up next, and the fans are riled up for this one. The Game makes his way in the cell, and out comes Tyroneus Del Rio in his fancy car. The crowd doesn't really like either one of these men. But, they hate Del Rio more as he makes his way down the ramp eventually, and inside the large cell.
Tyroneus Del Rio vs. The Game - Hell in a Cell match --
Both men are read the rights of this matchup. Which is pretty much anything goes, and they nod in agreement. They back up from each other, and as the bell sounds they lock back up in the center of the ring. The Game works Del Rio back in the corner. And really works him over with an inside forearm. He steps back, and they lock back up. The Game backs him in to the corner again with that inside elbow. Then he steps back, and delivers a hard chop, "WOOO!" Del Rio tries to headbutt his way out of it. But, The Game headbutts him back, and then delivers another hard chop, "WOOOOO!" The Game backs up, and calls Tyroneus Del Rio on. That's when Del Rio rushes in, and The Game flips it to a quick hip toss in to an Armdrag. He applies pressure on his arm, and then repositions himself. Getting behind Tyroneus Del Rio, and shoving his knee in his back. He wrenches on his spine, and pulls the arms back creating more pressure. Del Rio pulls an arm free, and works himself off the mat. He delivers a hard right hand to The Game's skull, and out of nowhere latches on to him. Del Rio sets him up for that crazy Cross Arm Breaker that he taught his brother Alberto. He's got The Game placed in that deadly finisher early on here, and The Game is nearing tapping out!! He barely gets a foot on the rope, and the referee forces him to release the hold. The ropes will still save you in this one, and he takes advantage of it there. Tyroneus gets back to his feet, and waits for The Game to get up. He connects with an Enzuiguri out of nowhere! That stiff shot drops The Game, and Del Rio covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! Tyroneus lifts The Game up, and irish whips him to the corner. Tyroneus rushes in, and The Game gets a boot up in time. That boot stalls Del Rio, and The Game mounts the 2nd turnbuckle. He goes for a Tomahawk Smash, and connects to the top of his colarbone! That shots drops Tyroneus to a knee, and The Game starts laying stiff right hands in to his face. He backs up to the ropes, and comes in PLANTING a knee to Del Rio's skull. He covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! "The Game" argues with the referee, and goes back to work on Del Rio. He places him in a sideheadlock, and Del Rio shoves him towards the ropes. The Game bounces back, and as Del Rio's bending down-- The Game uses it to shove Del Rio's head straight down to the top of his knee, and then sets him up for an Evenflow DDT!! He absolutely crushes him with that move, and covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! BIG kick out for Del Rio as The Game lifts him to his feet, and simply tosses him over the top rope. Del Rio slams the outside apron, and tries to hang on.. but, his body bounces down to the outside mat instead. The Game poses in the center of the ring a bit, and draws mixed reactions from the crowd. He hops out of the ring, and immediately starts pounding on the back of Tyroneus Del Rio. He plays to the crowd as he grabs Tyroneus by the back of the head, and slams him back-first in to that Hell in a Cell!! The fans mark out as The Game then turns him around, and starts raking his face across that cage area. He just grades Del Rio's face across that medal, and the fans love it!! He cuts Tyroneus Del Rio wide open, and slides him back in the ring. Del Rio's head is laying towards the outside apron, and The Game takes advantage dropping a straight elbow on his forehead from the outside. The Game then starts shaking the cell walls!! Just rattling the Hell in a Cell, and the fans go crazy for him now! He rolls in the ring himself, and stalks Del Rio. He begins stomping away at him! He then pulls in for, and latches on with a Reverse Chokehold of some sort!! He has him in this Gullotine-type maneuver, and he's just wrenching back on Del Rio! Choking the life out of him!! The referee checks on him, and he refuses to submit. The Game releases the hold on his own, and backs up to the ropes. He takes 2 long strides towards Del Rio, and then drops a vicious knee to his already bloody head! He makes the quick cover, and 1, 2, shoulder up!
The Game remains in control of this one. Scooping Del Rio off the canvas, and Bodyslamming him back to the mat! He then backs up towards the corner, and mounts the top turnbuckle. He raises his arms up in the air, and does a "suck it" chop! Posing for the fans with the flexing of his muscles before leaping off, going for a big knee drop-- but, catching a STIFF boot to the chops!! The Game is laid out flat on his back, and Tyroneus Del Rio finally has a chance to recover. Del Rio doesn't know where he's at, and crawls for the furthest ropes. He pulls himself up a bit, and The Game charges in out of nowhere. But, Del Rio ducks, and dumps The Game up over his shoulder to the outside of the ring! The Game goes crashing over that top rope, and spilling to the outside mat below. The only thing seperating him from the commentator's table is that enormous, dangerous HELL IN A CELL. The Game tries to crawl to a knee. But, Del Rio leaps off the outside apron, and plants The Game with an Ax Handle Smash!! He takes The Game down, and then begins stomping away at him. He gets on his knees, and punches him over, and over. He digs his elbow straight in to The Game's face now!! Just pressing, and grinding his elbow in his skull. Tyroneus Del Rio backs up, and he rips the top of the steel steps off. He grabs the large steel step, and walks it over to The Game-- just dropping those steel steps on him!! The crowd cheers as he then picks the steel steps up, and tosses them down harder on him this time!! He scrapes The Game off the outside mat, and looks him in the eyes. He gets right in his face, and then tosses him face-first in to the Hell in a Cell. The Game bounces back, and so Del Rio grabs ahold of his trunks, and the top of his back-- sending him face-first in to the cell again!! The Game bounces back, and this type Tyroneus Del Rio sets him up for, and PLANTS him with an ugly looking Reverse DDT!! He collapses The Game, and decides to just roll him back in the ring for the pinfall. He crawls inside, and covers him up. 1, 2, kick out! The Game is still alive, and Del Rio is upset. He is fuming, and pleading with the official. He pulls The Game to the center of the ring, and smiles at him. He slaps the back of The Game's head, and he calls for it. He grabs The Game's arm, and is going to go for his famous Cross Arm Breaker-- but, The Game pulls him in, and lays him out with a hard Clothesline!! That shot takes both men out, and the ref starts his standing-10 count. He gets to 5- when finally Tyroneus Del Rio pulls himself up. The Game rushes in again. But, this time. He just smothers Del Rio, and starts putting the fists, and inside knee shots to his mid-section. He pummels Del Rio for a moment, and then poses for the fans. Del Rio knees him back, and hits him hard with a stiff right hand. The Game pulls him in, and knees him hard in the gut. He then headbutts Del Rio, and irish whips him across the ring. Del Rio bounces back, and ducks a clothesline. But, when he bounces back this time he is caught with a deadly SIDEWALK SLAM!! The Game doesn't cover him up however. He rolls out of the ring, and looks around the arena. He goes to look underneath the apron for something, and the fans are stirring. When he stands back up he has that familiar Sledgehammer with him!! His eyes light up, and he has a huge grin on his face. He slides back in the ring, and the referee tries to plead with him. The Game pushes the ref aside, and holds the Sledgehammer high over his head like a battering ram. He's going to run that hard piece of medal right in to his skull. Del Rio with his back to The Game finally gets to his feet. When he spins around-- he ducks the attack by The Game. When The Game turns around Del Rio kicks him in the gut, and out of nowhere latches on with the Cross Arm Breaker!! He straps on with that finishing submission hold!!! The fans are on their feet, and most of them are boo'ing. As it looks like Tyroneus Del Rio is about to put this one away. The Game claws, and scratches. He kicks his legs around. Finally he shifts his bodyweight over so he could get his foot on the rope!! Del Rio is forced to break the hold, and he can't believe it!
He forced The Game to drop that sledge. But, couldn't force him to tap out yet! So, he rolls off of him, and eyes down the sledgehammer now. He smiles as he picks it up off the ground, and waits for The Game to get to his feet. When he does he charges in the same way The Game did, and strikes with the brunt of that sledgehammer SMACKIN' The Game across the head, and knocking him clear out of the ring. As that hard shot takes him through the ropes, and down to the outside mat. Del Rio drops the sledge, and makes his way over to the ropes. The Game is hobbling on the outside, and trying to get to a knee. He looks senseless right now. Tyroneus Del Rio sees his opportunity, and grabs the top rope. He sees as The Game gets to a knee, and turns to face the ring. That's when Tyroneus Del Rio leaps out, and connects with a huge Crossbody!!! He knocks The Game back in to the cell, and Del Rio rolls around in pain. He looks to maybe twisted an ankle or something. The Game is obviously hurt, and both men are down as the fans begin boo'ing. Neither man really a fan favorite, and now both men are out of it. Del Rio is pulling himself up the cell first. His face has dry blood covering it, and his hair even has some blood in it. The Game is also busted open from that sledgehammer shot he just took, and his face is covered in blood. His chest has lots of blood on it too now. As Del Rio grabs him by the back of the head, and tries to roll him in the ring. The Game blocks it with a stiff right shot to the hip. Followed by another right hand to Del Rio's stomach. He pulls him in, and punches him square across the head. That shot spins Del Rio around, and The Game grabs him by the back of the head tossing him face-first in to the Hell in a Cell. He uses his momentum to sling him face-first in to it again. He grabs him, and sends him flying in to it again!! The XWF fans mark out hard this time. As they are loving this bloody Hell in a Cell action. The Game picks Del Rio up, and irish whips him back-first straight in to the Hell in a Cell. The Game methodically limps his way over to Tyroneus Del Rio, and picks him up by the head. He goes to ram him face-first in to the outside post. But, Del Rio blocks it, and instead slams The Game head-first in to that post. He quickly slides him in the ring, and the XWF fans are stirring now. As Del Rio covers him up, and gets a 1, 2, foot on the rope!! The Game barely holds on, and Del Rio is shocked. He looks around the ring for a weapon, and spots the sledgehammer. He goes to pick it up. But, out of nowhere The Game sort of tackles him from behind. They wrestle on the ground. Rolling around. Throwing fist at each other, and strangling each other. They just roll around, and continue grappling. Finally Del Rio gets on top of The Game, and stalls him with shot after shot. Straight fists to the face, and the ref tires to hold him off. But, Del Rio tosses him backwards, and the official goes stumbling. Del Rio continues laying in to The Game, and the fans are boo'ing now. He backs up, and he actually decides to kick the Sledgehammer out of the ring. He looks furious as he holds on to the ropes, and stalks The Game. Soon as The Game gets up he rushes in, and kicks him with an Enziguri out of nowhere!! That kick can be heard echo'ing throughout the arena. As he covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out!! The game barely kicks out at "TWOOO"!!!! But, Del Rio doesn't stop there. He slams his fists on the canvas a moment, and then looks up top. He starts mounting the top turnbuckle, and sizes The Game up from up there. Finally The Game struggles to get to a knee, and Tyroneus Del Rio leaps off for an Ax Handle Smash. But, The Game- catches him with a straight boot to the gut. He grabs the back of his arms, places his head between his legs, and brings him down hard with a Pedigree!!! The XWF crowd actually marks out for that moment. Though some are boo'ing as The Game hooks the leg, and gets the 1, 2, 3!!!
The XWF crowd marks out hard for this match. This Hell in a Cell really captivated them after that last Table's match that saw Crimson Tide involve himself with Justice Legal finally, and Caleb Cross walk out still undefeated in the XWF. Now, following the first 2 opening bouts we witness The Game be a man of his word, and come away with a hard faught clean victory over a tough competitor. As Tyroneus Del Rio finally succumbs to the pain, and harsh reality that this one is over. The Game celebrates in the middle of the ring a moment. All bloody, and flexing for the crowd. The fans actually enjoy this moment, and Tyroneus Del Rio eventually gets up as the Hell in a Cell is being lifted off the ring. The commentators James Shaw, and Alex "Cool" Beans speculate if the Cell is in the air, then there can't be a Steel Cage match later between Phoenix, and Knighthawk. Because, where would they hide the steel cage?? Though James Shaw says that doesn't mean anything. Alex "Cool" Beans is convinced it's a Chairs match later! And he says that The Game vs. Tyroneus Del Rio just now in that Hell in a Cell was completely brutal. One of the best matches of the year. Maybe best Hell in a Cell he's ever witnessed!!
Match Grade: B+, Match Duration: 24 minutes, and 7 seconds, Match Result: The Game via pinfall
----------------------
Justice Legal is seen walking to his dressing room but he is stopped by an interviewer.
Flo Stanley: Mr.Legal! can I have a few words of what took place in the ring tonight between you and XWF Hall Of Famer Crimson Tide?
Justice Legal laughs as a smile crosses his face, and then he looks right into the interviewers eyes.
Sure, I would be more than happy to humiliate that scumbag on television again! You see, people like Crimson Tide need a haven,a sanctuary, a place to hide, a place where the darkness won't be so frightening. But for Crimson Tide it's different, Crimson has been in XWF for 13 years and hes seen it all. Well Crimson, you think you have seen it all, you think you have seen everything, but hell your just a freak who never grew up, Crimson your a failure you've been here for 13 years and the biggest thing you've done was sign a contract with blood, the only thing that stated was that you're the biggest psychotic dumbass alive!
Flo Stanley has a weird look on her face as she begins to speak
Ah, Legal don't you think those are some harsh words?
Justice Legal laughs as he looks straight at her again.
No my dear, those weren't harsh words the thing that will be harsh is when I get Crimson Tide in the ring in the biggest most baddest hardcore match ever! Do you know what that match is?
Um No, I'm an interviewer not a wrestler.
Justice Legal puts his fingers through his hair and then speaks
Well that match is a Chamber Of Horrors Match, but not just a Chamber Of Horrors Match, a Chamber Of Horrors Match with weapons hanging from chains dangling on the four sides of the cage! And I want Crimson Tide in an Extreme Chamber Of Horrors Match next week! Like I said to Caleb Cross, the XWF is my personal playground. So what do you say Crimson, how a bout an Extreme Chamber Of Horrors Match next week? I expect a response from you!!
Suddenly, GIGANTIS walks in the scene, and he looks down on Justice Lega. But, unafraid Justice Legals shouts up at the monster.
What do YOU want?
Gigantis:
I do not like you calling out Crimson Tide earlier. I do not like you beating him to a bloody pulp.
Oh yeah?!? MIND YOUR BUISNESS!
I am keeping my mind on the XWF, and that IS MY BUISNESS!! If ANYTHING.. with what you just said challenging Crimson Tide to a Chambers of Horrors Match .. and from what I've seen so far here. I don't trust Justice Legal is really XWF blood .. I don't think you're with the XWF forever, or for the right reasons...
Justice Legal laughs to himself.
Ha ha. You want to find out how bad I want to be a part of the XWF?? ... face me at Showdown! then ...
Gigantis looks heavy down upon Justice Legal, and they share a moment of sheer anger between them.
With pleasure.
Gigantis walks away, and Justice Legal walks off towards his dressing room. You hear a door slamming in the background!!
There you have it folks .. Justice Legal has put a real challenge on the table for Crimson Tide, and next episode of Showdown! on July 26th .. it'll be Gigantis vs. Justice Legal now. Apparently for the bragging rights of the fans of the XWF.
We cut to another spot backstage with "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton is speaking with Bob Levy almost privately.
I mean, it's really a big option. There's so much stuff that could happen over the course of my career here in the XWF. That .. joining Gigantis, Knighthawk, and Del Rio well -- ..... ..
That's when Tyroneus Del Rio walks passed, holding his head.. with a bandage placed over his forehead. He stops, and talks to Cliff Saxton for a second.
Tyroneus Del Rio: How about it partner? S.O.S. .. 'Skeletons of Society' ..?? Hunh .. ?
Tyroneus winks at Cliff Saxton. That's when GM Shawn Taylor walks up, and looks them both over.
Listen, faction or NO faction! Next Showdown! on July 26th. .. .. you 2 will meet up in a 1-on-1 match, and there's no DQ, no countout!! So, you must pin, or make your opponent Submit!! Goodluck gentlemen ....
'General Manager' Shawn Taylor is obviously upset at what took place earilier between Gigantis, and "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton. Now, he is trying to nip this S.O.S. problem in the bud- before anything gets too out of control. Those 2 men whisper to each other, and we cut to ringside to get ready for our XWF Tag Team Title match UP NEXT!!!
ReArrangers (c) vs. Wreckin' Crew - XWF Tag Team Titles on the line, and no interference allowed. -- If the Wreckin' Crew loses they won't get another XWF Tag Team Title shot for 6 months.
The Wreckin' Crew is announced first, and they come out to a huge mixed reaction from the crowd. You either love to hate 'em, or you really love these guys. They make a ton of noise out at the ring for them, and out next comes the XWF Tag Team Champions. Dark Stranger, and Ryan Ryder make their way out with Heather Black not too far behind. They get to the ring, and Ryan Ryder decides to start this one off against Brutality. They circle each other up, and finally lock up. Brutality shoves Ryder all the way back in the corner, and shoves a forearm in his place before backing up on the referee's 5-count.

The referee argues with him, and Dark Stranger chokes back on Flip Johnson behind his back. Brutality tries to step in the ring, and Ryan Ryder quickly goes to work on Flip in the corner. Putting the free boots to his stomach, and then as he stands Flip up in the corner. He mounts him on the turnbuckle, hovering above him, and gives the 10-count punch salute!!

... for the 1, 2, but, he KICKS OUT! The fans are irate. Dark Stranger is laid out on the outside much like last Showdown! when he was attacked out of nowhere. You've got Ryan Ryder blindsided, and laid out in the ring. Flip Johnson can't get the pin so he makes his move towards Brutality who is out on the apron. Flip crawls for him, and makes the tag to his partner of the Wreckin' Crew!! But, Dark Stranger is still regrouping with Heather Black on the outside. Brutality pulls Ryan Ryder away from the corner, and places him in a Torture Rack!! Ryan Ryder taps out .. this match is officially over, and NEW Undisputed XWF Tag Team Champions... Flip Johnson, and Brutality of the Wreckin' Crew!!! They hop out of the ring, and snatch their Tag Team Titles back from the official on the outside. They rush backwards up the ramp, and they know deep down they just got away with one there. They are smiling, and raising the belts high in the air for everyone to see. They are clapping each other's hands, and hugging on the ramp. Some fans love it! But, most hate it!! They disappear through the curtains, and Dark Stranger gets up on the outside apron now. He looks down at his partner, and Ryan Ryder rolls over looking at Dark Stranger in disbelief ... .. Heather Black steps up, and joins Dark Stranger on the apron. Ryan Ryder don't seem to like it, and Dark Stranger doesn't seem none to happy about just losing that XWF Tag Team Title.

------------------------
William Knighthawk is standing by with Mitch Keller, and he seems excited for this opportumity tonight on "INDEPENDENCE DAY".
Mitch Keller: First, let me ask you this William ..
William Knighthawk: "The Dark Prince" ... .that's the Dark Prince William Knighthawk to you Mitch, and everyone else from now on around here .... you see, I'm tired of not getting my respect. Sure, I'm excited to be here! I'm glad to have another big match, and against Phoenix of all people .. lord knows we've had our fair share of those already. But, this time.. it's different. You see, I'm still upset about being put in that match with Leeds last week! I made an example out of him, and this week.. on this cyber sunday event.... despite what match it is. Despite the stipulation. Mitch, I'm going to win!
Well, you just said it, and how do feel about .. the stipulations possibly coming up? I mean, this is the 1st match of the night with really any question marks surrounding it.. this is 1 of 2 matches nobody has any idea about going in to the night .. how does that information weigh heavy on your shoulders??
It doesn't. I have the S.O.S. behind my back now. I have the Skeletons Of Society watching my back!! There's no reason to get worried .... I've been carrying a heavyload on my shoulders for quite some time. You just believe it! This will only add .. to the weight I get off my shoulders, and what a weight it'll be to show the world it wasn't a 'fluke' when I put Xavier Phoenix away like last time! LAST TIME. At "Xtreme Mania" it was real. THIS TIME. The reality will sink in... that I'm on the rise. "The Dark Prince" is really here to stay, and I have a group behind me now .. a deep stable full of men ready to do anything for me, and Xavier Phoenix has one precious Number 8 .. well, she can't save him. I don't care if her name was Number 2 .. and she wore a patch over her eye. The fact remains ... she will have no influence over this match ... just like the stipulation will play no part in this match up. Because, I already know what I need to know. I'm better than him. I'm BETTER than him! Isn't it obvious .... and I'm getting sick, and tired of your questions. This better be the last one ...
Okay, well .. the fans at home might want to know. What are your feelings on tonight's main event coming up?? Seeing as that you might want to be XWF World Champion one day .,....... ?
Ha. What ? Was that really a question? Steel Cage, Submissions, .. CHAIRS Match!! That's all you need to worry about right now Mitch. That's all these people at home need to know...... XWF starts with us, .. it starts with my feud, and my rivalry with Xavier Phoenix now, and tonight it ends with me getting the better of him again! It ends with William Knighthawk on top. That reminds me.. I got better things to do. This interview is now over!
We cut away from that segment straight to his opponent for tonight's cyber sunday event. It's Xavier Phoenix backstage with Flo Stanley, and his new manager the lovely Number 8.
Okay, TONIGHT.... Xavier Phoenix you go 1-on-1 with "The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk in a very special matchup where the XWF fans will pick the stip--
Xavier Phoenix: We've been over this.. 'how' many times now?
Yeah, but I jus--
No more talking. Shh. Shh. No more talking! Listen .... 'listen' to me Flo. You see tonight is going to be an extraordinary night. Chairs match! Steel Cage match! Submissions match! All of them favor 'me' .. 'of course'. But, the one thing people are forgetting is that ... I'm the man who pinned Carlos Shotgun at Xtreme Battle Zone. I'm the man who was screwed out of being the #1 contender this past week on Showdown! ... when the current champ stuck his nose where it didn't belong. Prolonging his title reign just a 'little' longer. But, soon... much sooner than people think... pretty much immediately after this match with Willie tonight. I will get my hands around one of their scrawny necks! Shotgun. Adkins! Makes no difference to me one bit really. As for tonight... my match with Nighthawk. Well, it'll be one for the books. One for the 'record books'. Because, after I'm finished with him. After I'm thru with Willie boy. I'm going to show the world what I'm truly made of. It starts tonight! Bring on the stipulation .. doesn't mean much more to me sweetheart ...
Xavier, speaking personally... I must say ... I've - hah ... well, I've been doing this job for years. I've been in this buisness for my entire adult life. As soon as I saw you.. I knew you had the goods. I knew you had what it takes to be one of the best, and Xavier. I must say .. I'm impressed tonight by you .... ..by your physique.. by your aura ... it's just -- well, ..
Don't.
Xavier puts his hand up towards Flo, and Number 8 leans in on his shoulder real close.
Number 8: Xavier, I'm kind of jealous of her ...
What, her? Listen, I know. But, it's not about you. Don't worry what Flo's opinion is. Worry about what you could do for me as a manager..
Hmmm. That reminds me... I had an idea for tonight's match.. regardless of the stipulation..
Give it to me Number 8.
.. she whispers the rest to him. He smiles with joy, and looks off in space just visualizing what is about to happen out in that ring tonight.
Can't wait ..
We won't have to wait much longer. Because, luckily that match is NEXT!!
As Xavier Phoenix, and Number 8 walk away out of sight.
We then cut to the man of the hour. The man headlining "Independence Day" as the new #1 contender for that XWF World Heavyweight Title. Carlos Shotgun is backstage in the office of the XWF General Manager with Sasha Shotgun talking to GM Shawn Taylor..
I've had enough. Who's the referee for this one? Is it Sasha?? Is Mr. Lucente coming back to screw me once more.. like he did back at "New Beginnings", and countless other times before that?? Or is York here to flex his new power? Is that IT? Is Christian Falkenyork .. is Chris Falkenyork here to be the special guest referee, and tie this altogether?? Is this because he's mad we took his Chris Falkenyork Championship off his hands that night? I mean, it's been awhile since he's seen that poor championship. In all it's gold, and glory ... .... LISTEN to me Taylor! As the GM you are obligated to give me some damn answers around here regarding my XWF World Title shot tonight in this show's very main event!! Lets face it.. cyber sunday isn't nothing without me now is it? ??
Geez. Are you thru? After all that rambling. I could've just told you in the beginning ......
... 'bout time ...
..you'll just have to wait like everyone else.
You son of a -- . ....... I have a RIGHT to know. Me, and my wife have a right to know what's going on with tonight's main event. There's a lot at stake, incase you didn't know... my XWF World Title is on the line!!
Yeah, I noticed... maybe you didn't notice. It's not your XWF World Title anymore. The name on it says .. "TV_MA" Mark Adkins..
oHH! You're so proud of that. You're so proud of that moment. You think you're better than me Shawn Taylor? You're a wannabe wrestler. You're now a General Manager, and you never were the XWF World Champ. What do you know about carrying this company on your back.. you couldn't even carry my jock ...
You know ... ... the time is coming soon.. for you Carlos ...
The Shotguns look very upset, and Sasha tugs at Carlos' arm. She begs him to go with her, and just leave this GM's office behind. But, the General Manager isn't through getting his last words in.
"Thank you very much."
Carlos Shotgun looks steamed! But, Sasha Shotgun works him back out of the GM's office, and the scene cuts to some more HBO hype!! The return of True Blood, the final season of Entourage coming up, and the return of From Dusk Til Dawn coming up right after "Independence Day" only on HBO!
Xavier Phoenix vs. "The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk - Chair match, Submission's match, or in a Steel Cage ? --
"The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk gets announced first, and he comes out to a nice ovation. Up next Xavier Phoenix is announced by Danielle Worley, and out comes Xavier by himself. Both men get in the ring, and they eye each other down. Danielle Worley says lets now go to the titan tron, and see how the XWF fans voted for this cyber sunday event .... ..
XWF Fans Results for which stipulation this match should be???
1. Chairs Match - 22% 2. Submissions Match - 43% 3. Steel Cage Match - 35%
"Submissions Match" is it, and the XWF fans are riled up already for this one! Xavier, and "The Dark Prince" share a famous glare across the ring, and both seem pumped for this one. They both circle each other up, and the fans are literally stomping around right now!! The Verizon Center in Washington DC sounds like thunder roaring throughout the stadium!!! The XWF fans are ready for this encounter, and the bell sounds! They quickly lock up in the center of the ring, and Xavier manages to knee him in the gut right away, and then tries pulling Knighthawk's head back so he could strike him with a hard right to the forehead. William Knighthawk knees him back, and sends him to the mat with a nice Hiptoss! William Knighthawk takes to the ropes, and comes bouncing back-- dropkicking Xavier Phoenix in the back as he's sitting up on the ground!! Xavier Phoenix clutches his back, and rolls around the mat in pain. William Knighthawk wastes no time, and drops 2 solid elbows to his skull, and spine! He then takes to the ropes, and waits for Xavier Phoenix to get up off the mat. When he does.. he goes for a Missle Dropkick! But, Xavier Phoenix sideswipes him, and sends him flying down hard to the canvas!!! That Missle Dropkick misses it's spot, and Xavier quickly covers him up. But, the referee informs him that he can not pin him here. Xavier frustratedly pulls William Knighthawk away from the ropes, and starts digging a forearm in to his chin. Xavier Phoenix looks mad as he stands back to his feet, and drags William Knighthawk all the way to the center of the ring. He goes for an elbow drop, and William Knighthawk moves out the way! Xavier catches a stiff canvas, and he rolls around holding his arm a moment. Knighthawk uses the ropes to pull himself up. But, Xavier charges in, and William Knighthawk tosses him over his head. Xavier goes over the top rope. But, lands on the outside apron. When William Knighthawk turns around Xavier simply POKES him in the eye, and then hops up on the top rope. As William Knighthawk shakes that off, and turns right in to a Huge Crossbody from Xavier Phoenix. Down on the mat Xavier claws, and digs away at the Dark Prince, and the referee warns him about illegal behavior in this matchup. Xavier stands back up, and backs to the ropes. He jogs forward, and plants a solid knee to William Knighthaw's skull. He then wears him down on the mat. Wrenching back at his chin. He tries getting him set up, and eventually does place him in a Camel's Clutch!! He sits on Knighthawk's back, and pulls back on his head. The referee asks if he wants to submit. But, Knighthawk refuses to tap here!!
Xavier jumps up, and sits down hard on his back!! He then drags William Knighthawk over to the ropes, and he's going for that sick move known as Starship Pain!! But, William Knighthawk moves just in time, and Xavier Phoenix splatteres the canvas. Both men are down momentarily, and Knighthawk crawls for the pin. He places an arm over him. But, the referee tries telling him this is a Submissions Match, and he can not pin him. The fans are estatic early on as both men make huge mistakes, and are both struggling to get back up from it. Xavier Phoenix rolls to the outside apron, and recovers out there. William Knighthawk drags himself to the ropes, and barely pulls himself up. He notices Xavier Phoenix on the outside apron, and walks over there. Placing the boots to him, and literally kicking him off the apron -- as he falls hard to the outside mat! William Knighthawk simply steps to the outside, and starts hammering on the back of Phoenix! William Knighthawk then removes the top covering of the commentator's table that reads "Independence Day", and he tosses that piece of wood aside. He rips the 3 monitors out of their place, and starts picking Xavier off the ground. He wants to try to scoop him up. But, Xavier rakes the eyes. Kicks him in the shin, and then out of nowhere irish whips him right in to the steel steps!! William Knighthawk's back simply smacks the crap out of those steel steps, and he lays there wincing in pain. Xavier Phoenix takes his time walking over, and Knighthawk tries to kick him away. Xavier Phoenix pushes his legs aside, and goes in on Knighthawk. Just mounting him, and laying hard hands square in to his face!! He unloads on his jaw, and backs up a moment. He looks Knighthawk over, and scoops him up off the ground. He picks him up in Gorilla Press formation, and drops Knighthawk face-first on to that outside barrier!! The XWF fans mark out in the front row! The rest of the XWF fans in the Verizon Center getting real excited as well!! Xavier Phoenix picks Knighthawk off the ground, and rolls him in the ring.
Back in the ring, and Xavier Phoenix goes to work on William Knighthawk some more. He takes it to the Dark Prince. Just stomping away at him. He throws him in a Sleeperhold on the canvas. But, when the referee checks on him. He refuses to quit! Xavier Phoenix manically wrenches away at him, and just squeezing with all his might. He eventually lets go on his own. Gets back up, and kicks Knighthawk square in the back! He picks him up off the ground, kicks him in the shin, and lays him out with a twisted Swinging Neckbreaker!! That shot rattles the ring. Xavier Phoenix immediately sets him up for, and locks him in the middle of the ring with a Figure Four Leglock!! He pulls back on him, and William Knighthawk looks out of it!! He's pounding his fists on the ground. He's not tapping. But, he's in obvious pain, and trying to pull himself back towards the ropes. But, he's not getting any closer. Xavier moves with him, and he keeps going in circles. Knighthawk tries to punch him. But, Xavier tightens his legs some more!! He got the move on tight, and he's grinding on his legs right now!! William Knighthawk's eyes are wide. He looks like he's ready to tap. Instead he suddenly gets a burst of energy, and turns the move over. He reverses it on Phoenix, and he's screaming out in pain now!! Referee checks on him, and he says, "no". The Dark Prince releases the hold, and crawls for the ropes. Xavier Phoenix slowly gets to a knee, and when he stands up. The Dark Prince goes for a BIG Clothesline.. but, misses, and as Xavier Phoenix ducks he sees his moment to go for that Signature Move! He attempts that "Drama Club"... but, Knighthawk ducks it, and sweeps Xavier Phoenix's legs out from underneath him. He turns him over, and places him in an old school Lion Tamer!! He has Xavier Phoenix pretty much hovering above the mat, face down on the canvas, and his legs wayy above his head!!! William Knighthawk leans back on this move, and he's got Xavier Phoenix right where he wants him. Phoenix refuses to tap out, and he looks like he's about to pass out. William Knighthawk wrenches back further. But, Xavier Phoenix lifts himself, and crawls like a reverse wheelbarrel as fast as he can to the ropes. He GETS THERE!! William Knighthawk is being told by the referee to release the hold. But, at first he refuses to. Eventually he lets go, and pushes the referee in to the ropes. The referee looks intimidated, and warns him he could be DQ'ed for that. William Knighthawk turns around, and walks right in to Xavier Phoenix attempting another "Drama Club" .. this one misses as well. As Knighthawk ducks just in time, and Phoenix nearly almost decks the ref. But, the referee leans back just in time, and Phoenix holds on to the ref to gain his balance. Knighthawk sneaks up behind him, and quickly places him in a Full Nelson!!!
He has that Full Nelson locked on good, and Xavier Phoenix is kicking his feet around. He desperately wants out of this 'Master Lock' submission hold. William Knighthawk might get him to tap here!! Suddenly, Xavier Phoenix breaks his arm free, and lays Knighthawk down with a slick Hiptoss! He then sets him up for, and quickly places him in a Leg Scissors Chokehold!! He might get him to submit!! William Knighthawk is clawing for the ropes. But, they are no where to be found. William Knighthawk is losing oxygen to his brain, and he's fading out here on "Independence Day" in the center of that XWF ring. But, no.. instead he pries Phoenix's legs off him, and rolls away from it. He rolls to the outside apron, and Knighthawk gets to his feet. He approaches him, and Phoenix pops up throwing a shoulder in to his stomach from the outside. He then uses the ropes, and flips up over top of Knighthawk demolishing him with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!!!! That hard move wakes the stadium up! The crowd is on their feet yet again, and Xavier Phoenix stands to his feet sizing up the situation. Trying to figure out a way to put Knighthawk away. He smiles to himself, and he approaches Knighthawk by his legs. He bends down, and grabs a foot. He then latches on that ankle, and starts twisting away with a brutal Ankle Lock!!! The XWF fans mark out for this, and Knighthawk is screaming out in pain!! The sure look of horror on his face as he scrambles for the ropes. But, Phoenix keeps pulling him back. He's no where close to the ropes, and he might be forced to tap out here. Submission is the only way to win, or lose this match. Right now Knighthawk is trapped in that great looking Ankle Lock! Suddenly, Knighthawk rolls forward, and throws Phoenix off the move. Knighthawk then pops to his feet out of nowhere, and delivers a beautiful Dropkick seemingly out of nowhere!! That dropkick sends Xavier Phoenix up, and over the top rope. Back to the outside apron again. William Knighthawk crawls his way towards him, and Xavier tries grabbing him through the ropes. But, Knighthawk fights out of it. He reaches over the top rope, and threatens using a Suplex to bring Phoenix back in the ring! But, Xavier Phoenix fights out of it. He walks Knighthawk over, and slams his head off the top turnbuckle. Phoenix then mounts the top turnbuckle, and leaps off for a Hurricanrana. But, William Knighthawk sets him down in a Powerbomb formation!! It doesn't do much damage. But, then Knighthawk grabs one of his legs, and twists out of it. Now, it's William Knighthawk who has Xavier Phoenix in a devlish looking Ankle Lock!!!!!
Will Xavier Phoenix tap here??? Will "The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk get him to submit?? He has that locked on tight. But, Xavier crawls, and crawls until he gets to the ropes!! The referee orders he release the hold, and after a 4-count he finally lets go. William Knighthawk steps back, and then plants a solid kick to Xavier's skull!! He backs up, and sizes up the situation. He decides to go up top for some reason. But, Phoenix pops up as soon as he stands atop the turnbuckle, and Phoenix trips his feet up! William Knighthawk falls on his junk, and his crotch just catches the top of that post. William Knighthawk looks very uncomfortable, and suddenly Xavier Phoenix rushes in again-- this time DRILLING him with that Drama Club finisher!! William Knighthawk falls all the way down to the outside mat, and the XWF fans POP loud for that maneuver from Xavier Phoenix!!! William Knighthawk looks to be in excruciating agony. Xavier Phoenix starts to crawl for the ropes, and pull himself to the outside apron. When LOOK-WHO-IT-IS... here comes the members of the newly formed group the S.O.S. Here comes the 'Skeletons Of Society' .. Tyroneus Del Rio, Gigantis, and "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton trailing far behind ...
... the referee looks around, and notices what is happening. Meanwhile, Xavier Phoenix is just rolling William Knighthawk back in the ring, and he notices what is going on. He doesn't pay them any attention, and rolls back in the ring himself. The referee yells something out at them, and they start surrounding the ring. The referee yells orders out at Danielle Worley, and commands the 3 men to step down from the outside apron!! They all look at each other, and down at the 2 men in the ring. Xavier Phoenix is on one knee looking around at them, and then stands to his feet. He looks around nervously. But, he's ready for a battle if they decide to pounce. That's when the referee immediately orders them to the back, and bans them from ringside!!! At first they don't want to go. But, then they eventually all get up off the apron ... They start heading up the ramp towards the back, and Xavier Phoenix is distracted long enough. He is going to lift Knighthawk up. When suddenly Knighthawk kicks Phoenix in the gut, and allowing Knighthawk to hit his world famous Cradle Piledriver!! The XWF fans are stunned in to almost silence. As some fans cheer what is going on, and a lot of them start boo'ing. They appear to be angry, and are giving "The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk a ton of heat. Suddenly, William Knighthawk gets on the canvas, and puts Xavier Phoenix in Inciser Claw. He has Xavier Phoenix trapped in the middle of that ring. Almost near passing out like last time. He is almost unconscious as William Knighthawk applies pressure with that INCISER CLAW. We all knew it was a factor. We knew it last time these 2 faced of at "Xtreme Mania 6" that this move could be the deciding factor in this Submission's match. Only Xavier Phoenix is not tapping out. He is fading much like last time. But, the referee can not pin him this time. His shoulders are down, and The Dark Prince is just digging in! He has that Inciser Claw dug deep inside the root of his mouth!!! He is screaming like a deranged man, and he tells referee to call match!! He says that it's over, and that Phoenix is done! But, the referee doesn't call it. He doesn't want to call it yet. William Knighthawk says look at him, he's done!! But, still the referee says he hasn't given up, or tapped yet. William Knighthawk gets upset with the official when he doesn't decide to call the match right there. So, William Knighthawk gives the ref the Inciser Claw!!!
Xavier Phoenix is stirring on the mat, and William Knighthawk just puts the official down. He sits there a moment, and soaks up what just happend. He smiles to himself as he lays over the official who looks to have passed out himself. William Knighthawk slowly gets up, and walks over to Phoenix who is now back to laying flat on his back. He must be playing possum. As Knighthawk goes to grab him. Phoenix rolls him to the ground, and slaps on a Crippler Crossface!! He pulls back hard as he can on him, and Knighthawk begins tapping out right away!!! But, the official doesn't see it. William Knighthawk is screaming out in pain, and Xavier must think he won the match. He rolls off of Knighthawk since he tapped, and he notices the official is down. He rolls over to him, and tries waking him up. Knighthawk scrambles to a knee, and then rushes over towards Phoenix. .. They start wrassling with each other. But, it ends up with Phoenix tossing Knighthawk through the middle ropes to the outside mat! Knighthawk splatters the outside mat, and the XWF fans don't know what's coming next in this deadly Submission Match. Xavier Phoenix in the ring starts shaking the official to get him up. But, he's not budging. So, Xavier Phoenix goes, and he starts climbing outside. When he gets outside he looks over the Commentator's Table, and how the monitors are still pulled out of them. He remembers what William Knighthawk, "The Dark Prince" was about to pull moments ago. He then smiles real big as he remembers what Number 8 told him earlier now, and he reaches deep in his trunks. He pulls out brass knucks handed to him supposedly by Number 8 earlier. Xavier Phoenix smiles, and comes up from behind Knighthawk. As William Knighthawk is slowly pulling himself up on the barrier, and when he turns around-- Xavier Phoenix CLOCKS him! Phoenix lifts his lifeless body off the ground, and rolls him in the ring. Blood starts to pour now from Knighthawk's head, and Xavier Phoenix shakes the referee some more. Finally the referee seems back in commission, and he crawls over to Knighthawk. That's when Xavier Phoenix he puts him in a Boston Crab. The referee crawls over, and checks on the bloody Knighthawk. He asks him if he quits. Does he want to submit??
But, out of nowhere William Knighthawk crawls fast for, and reaches those ropes! Xavier Phoenix doesn't want to let go. But, the official gets to a knee, and orders he does or he'll be DQ'ed. Xavier Phoenix paces around the ring a second, and helps William Knighthawk to his feet. Only to go for a Russian Legsweep. But, Knighthawk blocks it momentarily, and Phoenix rolls through it, and somehow manages to get William Knighthawk locked up in the middle of that ring in a Sharp Shooter!!!! Will he get him?? Will this be the end for William Knighthawk after taking that hard shot to the head from the brass knucks? He might not even know where he's at right now. Knighthawk is bleeding wide open, and Xavier Phoenix has that moved locked on well! Will Xavier Phoenix redeem himself from that loss at "Xtreme Mania 6"?? Will Knighthawk tap out here?? But, no.. he lifts himself up with all his might, and blood is just dripping from his face. The blood is literally soaking his hair, and covering his eyes. However, he arm crawls his away over, and eventually gets his finger tips on the ropes! Xavier Phoenix is forced to release that Sharp Shooter. He gets up off of Knighthawk. But, now he's arguing with the ref. He can't believe it. He grabs the ref by the collar, and shoves him up against the corner. The commentators claim that Adkins, and Shotgun might not be able to put their hands on the official in our next match. Especially if it's former XWF World Champion, Falkenyork who is the special ref. Xavier Phoenix is pissed, and he goes directing his attention back to Knighthawk. He goes lift him off the ground. But, when he bends over to pick him up , .. Knighthawk goes for his Inciser Claw. He somehow manages to work himself off the mat, and now the Dark Prince William Knighthawk has Xavier Phoenix trapped in that finisher!! He has the Inciser Claw deep in his mouth, and Phoenix is wavering. He starts to drop to a knee, and William Knighthawk is not letting go. Xavier Phoenix punches his gut. He punches his gut again! Knighthawk releases the hold momentarily. As Xavier Phoenix works himself back to his feet. But, Knighthawk then places that Inciser Claw back in. However, this time Phoenix quickly pulls his arm out, and drags him to the ground for a Crippler Crossface!! .. He's got him!! He's got him locked in that terrific submission hold!! He has William Knighthawk right where he wants him, and there is no escape. William Knighthawk claws for the ropes. He claws. But, then he starts to fade. The referee gets down, and asks him if he would like to submit. After a couple more seconds, and William Knighthawk eventually taps!! The winner of this match voted by the fans to be a Submissions Match .. is the one known as Xavier Phoenix. After such a long back-n-fourth encounter they have finally decided a winner. Xavier Phoenix holds out, and forces William Knighthawk in a tough predictament. Only after that blind sided hit to the skull with the brass knucks. Which everyone is speculating must've been referred to him by his new manager the lovely Number 8.
Match Grade: B+, Match Duration: 29 minutes, and 52 seconds, Match Result: Xavier Phoenix via submission
------------------------------
Backstage, "TV_MA" Mark Adkins has his XWF World Title slung over his shoulder, and he's standing by with Bob Levy.
"TV_MA" Mark Adkins: Of course I'm ready for this matchup! This MAIN EVENT is the type of MAIN EVENT that I've been waiting for all my life. Are you kidding me with the questions back here Bob? I mean, really ..... we go over this time n' time again. I am the most ruthless man on the block. Everybody in the back knows it! Carlos Shotgun knows it. His wife knows it! I might not know the referee that's going to count Shotgun's shoulders down to the mat... but, I know they will be reaching a 3-count. Because, I know I'm walking out STILL your XWF World Heavyweight Champion! That's just the way it is .. ask the Apostles. They'll tell you! They'll ALL tell you! I'm a man of my word, and I am going to make Carlos Shotgun look like a fool out here tonight. Much like he tried to make me look back at Xtreme Battle Zone, and ever since I put my hands on his precious wife. Well, Sasha.. I for one hope you are the special guest referee. Just so you don't need ringside tickets this time to see me beat your man ... single-handedly. I don't need any help. Never have! Never will! I'm no longer worried about reprocussions. Come to think of it. I've never been worried about facing the consequences, and this time.. luckily for me.. there are no losses in this one. It's win-win for me, and then me winning some more! It's all part of a process you see Bob ...
Mark Adkins gets up in Bob Levy's face, and then looks back at the camera. He eyes down the people at home. He looks deep in to the crowd out there in the Verizon Center in Washington DC. He looks for Carlos Shotgun, and he doesn't hold back what's on his mind.
You know ... this MAIN EVENT will tell all .. .. .. I hope the police don't happen to find chloroform in my car a few months down the road. Because, that will be real terrible for all parties involved.. to find pieces of your body down the line ... and not be able to pin it all on me. Because, our justice system is much like you Carlos Shotgun. Too stupid to realize when the whools being pulled right over your eyes! People could literally get away with murder.. right under your nose.... it's sick.. think about it Carlos... really think about it ...
--------------- ---------
Back at ringside, and it's not over between those 2! Xavier Phoenix was celebrating his victory. Now, the ring is surrounded by all 4 members of the S.O.S. William Knighthawk went back, and got them. Now, they are all surrounding the ring, and ready to destroy Xavier Phoenix. They step in between the ropes, and Xavier Phoenix attacks Tyroneus Del Rio. But, "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton, and Gigantis crush him from behind. All 3 of them begin doing work on Xavier Phoenix. They hold his arms back behind him, and hold him up on on knee. William Knighthawk points at his face, and talks trash to him.. before slapping him hard across the face! He's not done there however. He starts getting on the ground, and digging that Inciser Claw back in Xavier's mouth!! The rest of the S.O.S. stomp away on Phoenix!! The crowd is boo'ing, and out comes the fabulous looking Number 8. She runs down the ring to his rescue. Cliff Saxton, and Tyroneus Del Rio stare out at her. As William Knighthawk finally gets off of Phoenix, and orders Gigantis finishes him off. Gigantis starts stomping on every part of his body!! He stomps on Phoenix's legs, his arms, his skull! The giant goes to work on him, and eventually Knighthawk pulls him off. The S.O.S. regroups in the center of the ring, and Del Rio points Number 8 out to Knighthawk. He simply says to ignore her. As all four men join hands, and raise them high in the air!! The S.O.S. is together for the 1st time here tonight, and they look powerful as ever!!! They eventually leave the ring to some disturbing theme music, and Number 8 finally gets in the ring. She tends to the aid of Xavier Phoenix, and he remains huddled there on the ground.
We cut to Mr. Lucente backstage with Shawn Taylor. The President, and General Manager sharing a conversation about what just transpired.
You know, .. I knew something was going to go down surrounding those members of the S.O.S. I am not surprised one bit. What I am surprised about.. is how Xavier Phoenix has proven it again .. after making Knighthawk tap out there! He deserves a shot to be the #1 contender again, and get his hands on that World Title .. I'm not sure exactly when that time will be. But, I've already decided .. he'll face the winner of tonight's main event..... on our June 26th addition of Showdown! in a non title matchup. What you think about that one Taylor?
Hey, you're the one who signs the checks. By the way .. are you here to be the special guest referee?
Damnit! You're just like everyone else. What makes you soo special huh? You will find out with the rest of the nitwits. And you won't have to wait much longer... because, the MAIN EVENT is coming right up!!
We cut away to William Knighthawk standing by with the rest of the S.O.S. He is speaking personally to Tyroneus Del Rio now.
I disappointed myself that's for sure. I wanted to do a lot better!
Suddenly, 'look who it is'. Caleb Cross. He doesn't look happy, and he looks over that group known as the S.O.S.
Well, .. I'm betting that chair put in front of my door a little bit ago had nothing to do with you guys, huh?? You don't think I was watching the ring from my monitor in my dressing room.
What does it matter?? Do you have a problem with us? Because, I could do something about that ...
Big words coming from you.
Really, and why is that?
Well, ... unlike you I won my match, and I'm still undefeated in the XWF. That makes me 3-0.. ..
It won't be 4-0 young Caleb. Because, NEXT Showdown! YOU'RE ON ..
Oh, is that so? Okay, well YOU'RE on then. I'll see you there "Dark Prince".
He gets close up to Knighthawk, and then Caleb Cross backs up taking a look at the whole stable known as the 'Skeletons Of Society'. Then he walks away, and the scene cuts directly back to ringside. Where the XWF fans, and superstars are getting ready for this "Independence Day" main event. The XWF World Title is on the line, and there will be a Special Referee decided on by the XWF audience. Who have the XWF fans selected to be that special referee for tonight's contest?? Well, we're about to find out ..... ..
MAIN EVENT -
"TV_MA" Mark Adkins (c) vs. Carlos Shotgun - XWF World Heavyweight Championship -- Fans pick the Special Guest Referee - Chris Falkenyork, Sasha Shotgun, or XWF Owner/President - Mr. Lucente ???
Before the superstars are even announced for this contest we have Chris Falkenyork pop up on the screen via satellite, and the crowd goes bizerk for him!! They love to see XWF Hall of Famers around, and especially one who is considered one of the greatest XWF World Champions of all-time.
Chris Falkenyork: "It is my esteemed pleasure at this time to exercise my right to better the XWF .. in any way possible... and tonight.. I'll exercise that power by ridding the XWF of those 2 goons at ringside!! Replacing you permanently, and most certainly FOREVER ... by our new commentators, and they might resemble some guys you already know!"
The "Oklahoma" alma mater kicks on over the loud speakers, and the fans immediately rise to their feet! They POP loud for the return of Jim Ross, and Jerry "The King" Lawler to the XWF ringside to do commentary. The fans chant, "na na naa naa. na na naa naa.. wavvvvee .. goooodbyyye!" And Alex "Cool" Beans especially doesn't look happy as he ducks fans tossing large cups of soda at him, and he holds close to James Shaw as they make their way up the ramp with security now dragging them out of there.
Suddenly, Mr. Lucente comes out to "No Chance in Hell". He walks right on past those 2 former commentators, and does a little walk out on the top of the ramp. He does a little swagger move, and plays to the crowd. Mr. Lucente has a mic in hand, and speaks to the XWF fans.
In all seriousness. I know you have all been waiting to see the results for this Special Guest Referee... wondering who will be doing the honors of calling this big match tonight?? Well, with all the bizarre circumstances surrounding it... with all the complications involving this feud... it's about to get even more weird..
The XWF Owner/President Mr. Lucente points up at the large titan tron, and the XWF fans see the results flash up on their screen:
The XWF fans CHOOSE who will be the Special Guest Referee?
1. Chris Falkenyork - 25% 2. Sasha Shotgun - 39% 3. Mr. Lucente - 36%
The fans in the Verizon Center are stunned!!! It'll be Sasha Shotgun calling the match for her own husband, and the man who injured her over a year ago. The XWF fans rise to their feet as Sasha Shotgun comes out to Carlos Shotgun's music, and Carlos follows closely behind her. He grabs Mr. Lucente on the ramp, and he gets in his face. He pulls him in, and yells at him. He thinks he's jeopardizing his wife's safety by having her out here. But, Mr. Lucente says it's out of his hands. Carlos Shotgun brushes it off, and a smile actually lights up on his face. Reality sets in, and he realizes the huge advantage he has in this main event now. Carlos Shotgun makes his way down to 'Do the Evolution' by Pearl Jam, and the crowd isn't too happy with him tonight in Washington DC. There's a few moments in between, and then TV_MA's theme begins blaring over the loud speakers. His "TV_MA" logo is plastered on the titan tron, and signs throughout the arena. He makes his way down the ramp with the XWF World Title wrapped around his waist. He makes his way down the ramp, and slides in the ring. He backs Carlos up a bit, and even eyes Sasha Shotgun down who is wearing a referee's shirt, and a jean skirt. "TV_MA" Mark Adkins taunts them both a bit, and goes to pose with the belt on the top turnbuckle! The XWF fans explode in excitement when they see him raise that XWF World Heavyweight Championship belt!! He reluctantly hands the belt over to Sasha Shotgun, and she shows it to Carlos to remind him what's at stake. He nods his head, and just as she's going to hand the belt to the ring announcer. Mark Adkins attacks out of nowhere, and starts pounding on Carlos on the ropes! She tells them to ring the BELL, and she turns around to see Adkins already working on Carlos. He forces him over the corner, and delivers a hard chop, "WOOOO!" He starts delivering hard right hands over, and over... Sasha Shotgun threatens she'll DQ him. But, he continues doing it anyway because he can't lose his belt on a DQ. She tries prying him away, and finally he decides to do so. Carlos comes off the corner, and goes for a hard right punch. But, Adkins ducks it, and uses his moment to get behind him. He sets him up for, and connects with an Atomic Drop!! Carlos bounces around the ring, and turns back around in to a well executed Dropkick by Adkins!! That shot takes Carlos through the ropes, and down to the outside. Adkins gets up in Sasha's grill now, and she backs up in the corner. She squirms as he tries to get close as he can without touching her. He laughs manically at her, and then he goes outside to work on Carlos. But, instead Carlos catches him with a stiff right hand to the gut, and then SLAMS his head off the top barrier! Carlos then hammers on his back a moment. Before throwing him back-first in to the outside apron! He turns Adkins around, and grabs him by the back of the head. Slamming his head face-first in to the outside apron!! He goes to rush him over to that steel post, and throw him in it head-first as well. But, Adkins hits Shotgun with a quick nut-shot, and then grabs him by the back of the head instead. Ramming Carlos in to it face-first instead. He lays Carlos out with that one, and smiles up at Sasha Shotgun. He bends over, and scoops Carlos up.. rolling him in to the ring. Adkins rolls inside, and covers Carlos up.. mockingly putting his own feet on the middle rope as leverage to pin him. The XWF fans laugh, and Jim Ross commentating at ringside speculates that
"Adkins is a crazy person, and he knows there's no way Sasha's going to make the pin anyway. He's in a lose-lose here tonight."
She doesn't count. She points out his feet, and Adkins keeps them up there a second. He hops on down, and shrugs at her as to say, "yeah, what ?" He then picks Carlos up by the hair, and lays him in the corner. He gives him a nice over hand chop, "WOOO!" Followed by another overhand chop, "WOOOO!" He backs up a few feet, and then Dropkicks Shotgun out of nowhere! That shot drops Carlos to 2 knees, and Adkins goes to work on him with open fists. Sasha warns Adkins, and he just chuckles at her. Adkins lifts Carlos off his feet, and goes to irish whip him in the corner. But, Carlos reverses it, and Adkins goes back-first in to it. Carlos turns around, and starts un-tying the top turnbuckle, and Sasha Shotgun the special guest referee, his wife, doesn't bother to stop him. He turns back around, and goes for Adkins. But, as he approaches him Adkins goes for a big kick. He barely finds its spot, and Carlos grabs him by the back of the head pulling him in close. He goes for a DDT. But, Adkins blocks it, and Carlos kicks him in the shin. He goes for a Perfect Plex out of nowhere!!
THIS could be IT!
Sasha Shotgun hurries up, and gets down on the canvas. She makes the real quick count, 1, 2,-- but, Adkins manages to kick out!! Carlos face lights up in complete shock, and he looks his wife over. She puts up 2 fingers, and she looks unsure of herself as well. Adkins crawls for the corner, and Carlos begins putting the boots to him right away. He lifts Adkins up by the back of the hair, and works him over to a corner with padding. He pounds Adkins head over the top of that turnbuckle over, and over.. a good 4, or 5 times!! Adkins tries to fight out. But, Shotgun kicks him in the side, and drags him by the hair over to the exposed turnbuckle now. Sasha doesn't stop him from pulling the hair. Carlos goes to slam TV_MA's head over that exposed turnbuckle. But, Adkins blocks it, and begins throwing Carlos Shotgun's head face-first in to that exposed turnbuckle a good 7, 8 times! The XWF fans can't out loud with him as he shoves Shotgun's face in to that exposed turnbuckle nearly 10 times!! Sasha Shotgun eventually tries pulling Mark Adkins away. But, he just backs her down in to the opposite corner just by looking at her. Adkins turns to face Carlos Shotgun, and he laughs at him. As Carlos drops to his knees.
Carlos is bleeding from the forehead now, and that's like the 4th or 5th wrestler tonight who's face has been busted wide open!
Jim Ross is doing great back on commentary with Jerry "The King" Lawler, and Adkins is working Carlos Shotgun over in front of his wife. The Special Guest Referee was chosen by the XWF fans to be Sasha Shotgun, and here she is. Terrified of "TV MA" Mark Adkins.. the man who injured her at "Xtreme Mania: Decade" .. and he places Carlos feet strategically on the ropes in between the posts. So, Carlos Shotgun's legs are spread out across that corner, and he's hanging from the 2nd rope face down. As Mark Adkins picks him up by the arm, and delivers the most devestating modified Killswitch we have ever seen!!! He lays Carlos Shotgun flat on his jaw!! He pulls him away from the corner, and he covers him up. But, Sasha Shotgun does nothing. She pretends to start checking her nails. Then Adkins waves her down, and demands she makes the pin. Sasha the "special guest ref" gets down on the canvas, and slowly makes the count .... .1...... .... she pretends she broke a nail, and steps back up to examine it... Adkins stands back up with her, and pleads with her to make this cover right now official.... Adkins dropped Carlos with that move a moment ago after bouncing his head off that exposed metal in the corner. Now, Sasha Shotgun is refusing to count her husband out of this XWF World Heavyweight Title main event! He demands she does, and he gets down to cover Carlos again ...... ... she slaps the mat .... 1 .... .. Adkins gets up in her face, and says, "2! That's a TWO!" She shakes her head no, and backs up off the canvas. She argues with him, and the XWF fans are boo'ing. They are stirring a bit. Adkins gets mad, and decides to attempt to throw Carlos Shotgun in the Late Term Abortion!! She pleads with him not to do it. But, he throws Carlos Shotgun's almost helpless body in to that Chickenwing Crossfire submission hold!!! He wrenches back on her husband, and is causing chaos in the ring right now! As he waves Carlos around like a rag doll. Carlos looks completely knocked out from that modified Killswitch earlier, and now Adkins has him wrapped up in that intense Late Term Abortion!!! The XWF fans are marking out. But, now some Carlos Shotgun "elite" followers are marking out for him, and cheering him on! The XWF crowd might be rooting for Carlos in some way, and some are boo'ing Adkins. Or are they boo'ing the fact that Sasha won't be an impartial ref, and make the proper calls. Adkins eventually tosses Carlos aside, and he backs Sasha down in the corner. He provokes her. He sticks his tongue out at her. He sticks both his fingers up, and licks in between as if it were a 'vagina'. She looks disgusted. She ducks in to the corner, and hides in the turnbuckles. Adkins says "you need to come out from there" ...
Mark Adkins then turns around, and walks in to a crucial Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere from Carlos Shotgun!! He hits him with that sick Superkick to the jaw!! Adkins is laid out, and bent over backwards. Carlos is down on the mat though himself, and Sasha Shotgun is rooting her husband on. The XWF fans are buzzing in the arena right now. They are all going crazy, and they aren't sure how this is all going down. How will this all play out? Carlos is wavering. Sasha is telling him to hurry up. She goes to grab him to drag him over there. But, Carlos kind of pushes her aside. He crawls fast for Adkins wants he spots him, and makes the cover.. 1, 2, KICKOUT!! She shakes her head in disbelief. Carlos gets up in her face, and says she needs to be faster. Much FASTER! Carlos crawls backwards, and examines the situation. He licks his chops, and pulls himself up off the canvas. He waits for Adkins to get on all four's, and rushes in for a punt. But, Adkins lifts his head up just in time, and trips Carlos Shotgun's legs out from underneath him. He delivers a couple Karate-like chops to Shotgun's chest, and starts pounding on Carlos A. Shotgun!! Shotgun seems helpless at first. But, then he grabs a hold of TV_MA's hair, and they start wrassling on the canvas. Grappling, and rolling around. Every chance she gets Sasha Shotgun tries to count Mark Adkins down for the 3-count. But, he keeps rolling over, and she can't cheat for her husband. Even though she has been bending a lot of the rules tonight. They roll all the way to the outside apron, and fall down to the outside mat. Still fighting. Still punching, and grappling. Still rolling around until they bump the commentator's table. Carlos gets on top a first, and lays 2 good punches in. But, then Adkins reverses it, and rolls back on top. He mounts Carlos and throws both hands down on his chest at once. Just literally pounding on Carlos' chest. Almost like he's giving him a brutal version of CPR!! Just SLAMMING down on his chest with both fists, and then he rolls off of him. Mark Adkins crawls over, and eventually stands up at the Time Keeper's Table. He wants his XWF World Title, and they are hesitant to give it to him. He tries to rip it out of his hand. But, Carlos pulls him back, and spins him around. He delivers a HARD right hand to Adkins' face. Sasha is in the ring, and she is making a verryy slow 10-count. She is only on '3', and letting them just duke it out on the outside. Carlos pulls him over, and tries to slam his head off the outside apron. But, Adkins blocks it, and instead grabs Carlos by the back of the head. He tosses him head-over-hills up, and over the commentator's table!! He knocks Jim Ross backwards out of his chair, and his cowboy hat spills to the ground.
My gawd! My gawd.
Jerry "The King" Lawler comments how he told him to get out of the way a long time ago. If he only would've listened to him. But, before you know it Adkins snatches Carlos off the ground, and drags him across the commentator's table. The monitors are back in place. But, Adkins doesn't care. He mounts the commentator's table anyway, and he signals to the XWF crowd he's about to put him through it. He's setting Carlos up for his own move. "The Bullet Bomb". But, Carlos blocks it, and sends Adkins up over his head. That BACK BODY DROP takes Mark Adkins down hard to the outside mat!!! He looks real shook up from that move, and Carlos Shotgun collapses on the commentator's table. Which actually gives way on it's own, and Carlos still ends up spilling down on pieces of table. The XWF fans laugh, and cheer!! They can't believe what they are seeing in this "Independence Day" cyber sunday main event match. Sasha Shotgun has reached only "5" on her 10-count, and she doesn't seem to be getting to "6" any time soon. She is yelling, and rooting her husband on. As Carlos crawls through the rubble of table that he collapsed on his own. Mark Adkins is still grasping his back, and TV MA doesn't look to be in good shape. The XWF fans are worried about him! He is stretching his back over there, and just holding his spine. Carlos makes his way out of the rubble, and on his own two feet. He glances down at that XWF World Title that is laying on the outside mat from earlier. He walks over, and picks it up. He holds it in his hands, and he slides it in the ring. He walks over to Adkins, and puts some solid boots to him! Carlos then scrapes him off the ground, and tosses him over his shoulder. He walks him over, and pushes him in the ring. Carlos slides in, and Sasha Shotgun hands him the XWF World Championship belt as gets to his feet. Carlos holds that XWF belt in his hands once more, and he eyes Adkins down. He drops to his knees in front of him, and he starts talking to Adkins. He says, "this is what it's all about. Right here Mark. Look at me ... TV .. MA ... look at me!! This is mine .. just like she's mine ... .. and now.. YOU'RE mine!"
Carlos gets back to his feet, and doesn't even hand the belt to his wife. He just sort of tosses it on the ground in the corner. He doesn't use it as a weapon. He just starts stomping away on Adkins, and then pulls him in for a Bulletbomb. But, Adkins fights it off! However, Carlos slams a hard forearm over his back, and is going for the Bulletbomb regardless if he wants it. But, Adkins falls to the ground, and then as Carlos goes back to bend over to pick him up-- that's when Adkins snatches him over for a schoolboy pin. Sasha Shotgun the special guest referee drops to her knees, and surprisingly begins counting right away ... 1, 2, ... but, then she stops! She pulls her hand back, and the XWF fans start boo'ing some more. Adkins holds Carlos there for about 2 more seconds. But, she doesn't make the count. The XWF fans giving lots of heat now, and some even throwing stuff in the ring. Carlos Shotgun is stirring on the mat, and Mark Adkins is trying to figure out where to go. He's not sure what to do as he pulls himself up, and Carlos pulls himself up at the same time. They meet in the center of the ring, and "TV_MA" goes for an End on 5!! But, Carlos turns out of it, and plants Adkins with a sharp Reverse Neckbreaker!!! He drops him hard in the center of that ring, and makes the pin himself. Sasha drops down, and makes the count for the 1, 2, kick out again!!! The XWF fans are electric at this moment!!!!!! They can NOT believe that Adkins keeps surviving. Despite the odds tonight. He is hanging in there so far with Carlos Shotgun's wife as the special ref. The fans must've not had his back all the way, and the 2 votes between York, and Mr. Lucente must've taken votes away from each other. Because, not a lot of people thought it would go down this way. She barely won, and now.. she's not letting Adkins win tonight. It's shocking Carlos hasn't won yet! He gets to his feet, and looks his wife over. He looks real upset with her for some reason, and he goes back to stomping on Adkins!! He goes for maybe a Sharpshooter at first. But, instead just KICKS his thigh as hard as he can!! Carlos decides he's not going for that submission finisher. He decides to turn him over on his stomach, and lift him back up for a Bulletbomb. He manages to get him up all the way for his finisher. But, Adkins wraps his legs around his head, and somehow with the positioning finds himself grabbing the top rope-- using that as leverage, and Shotgun's own momentum to send him up over the ropes with a fascinating Hurricanrana!
Never knew Adkins had it in him to pull that type of athletic move! Especially this late in the match. I suspected he was on old legs. But, not tonight.. giving it his all! BACK against the WALL.
Shotgun spills to the outside, and Sasha Shotgun does not start a 10-count. She glances out at her husband very concerned, and then stares down at Mark Adkins who is starting to move on the canvas. He looks completely exhausted as he uses the ropes to pull himself up. She looks him over, and Adkins manages to hang on the top rope- while blowing Sasha Shotgun a kiss! He is taunting the special guest referee, and she is not counting Carlos out. She starts, and gets to "1" ..... but, she doesn't go much further than that. She doesn't want to count her own husband out of this one. Adkins decides to recollect himself a bit. Before hopping outside, and trying to lift Carlos off the mat. Carlos catches him with an uppercut out of nowhere, and then Adkins pulls him in-- to go for an End on 5 on the outside mat! But, Carlos bloody face and all-- manages to shove him forward right in to that outside steel post! TV_MA's face bounces off that post with authority, and he looks done for. Carlos Shotgun falls to a knee for a second, and then has a huge smile creep over his face. He knows this is it. That Adkins is a complete goner at this stage. He could've hit that End on 5, and changed it all. But, he wasn't able to. Carlos picks Adkins' lifeless body off the outside mat, and tries with all his might rolling him in the ring. He gets in the ring, and rolls him over further. He looks back over his shoulder, and Carlos motions for a top rope signature move!! He slowly steps to the outside apron, and points to the skies. He mounts the top turnbuckle from the outside, and points to the skies once more. He then stands straight up, and then Carlos flies through the air dropping that Macho Man world famous Elbow Drop!!! Carlos smiles, and looks around the arena in a cocky manner. Before he makes an over confident pinfall on Adkins for the 1, 2, KICKOUT!!!
Carlos is really red in the face now, and he gets right in his wife's face. He's not happy with her! He's not too thrilled about what's going on here so far. He wants a faster count! He wants her to make the count faster!! She argues he took too long gloating, and boasting. He disagrees, and turns back to face Adkins. He starts stomping away on Adkins, and then gets down choking him with his barehands. He really digs in to his neck, and starts choking the life out of him! But, Sasha Shotgun doesn't lift a finger. She doesn't bother with this illegal gesture one bit. She allows her husband Carlos Shotgun to get away with it. He backs up off him, and drops an elbow square to his chest. Adkins rolls around gasping for air, and Carlos stomps away on him some more. He picks up his leg, and slams it in to the canvas!! He picks his leg up, and slams it in the canvas again!! Carlos is picking on Adkins, and the fans don't like it at all. They are boo'ing Carlos A. Shotgun now, and showing him their displeasure. Carlos decides this is it, and he turns Adkins over for a Sharpshooter. Is this it?? Is this going to be all she wrote for "TV_MA" Mark Adkins?? He is trapped in that Sharpshooter in the middle of that ring. He has been fighting all night long, and not getting any calls from special guest referee Sasha Shotgun. She has been helping Carlos stay in control of most this match. Carlos is wearing down on Adkins, and pulling back hard on that well-executed Sharpshooter!! He has that finisher locked on. That same finisher he has used to put dozens of men away over the years!!! He made Adkins tap out to this very move at "Xtreme Mania 6". Now, this looks like it could be it. Carlos is wrenching back on him. Blood staining his face a bit, and Adkins face down in the mat. "TV_MA" tries to push himself up. But, he falls back down to the canvas. Sasha Shotgun gets down on her knees, and gets close to TV_MA's face.
This is quite the scene. Almost reminiscent of what took place at "Xtreme Mania: Decade". Only it was Sasha Shotgun involving herself in her husband's buisness then on the outside. It was Adkins who was the special guest referee for Carlos Shotgun vs. Chris Falkenyork .. and it was Shotgun trapped in a submission hold face-down on the canvas. Much like this! It was Adkins asking Carlos if he wanted to quit. Now, it's Sasha Shotgun asking Adkins if he wants to quit now?? She is down on the canvas, and checking with him. He hasn't tapped yet, and she stands back to her feet. You wonder if there might be some type of Montreal Screwjob? If she calls this match on her own without anyone officially 'giving up' in this one?
But, she doesn't call the match yet. She stands back to her feet, and walks back over facing her husband. Carlos Shotgun is sitting back on Mark Adkins. He has his legs wrapped around his, and that Sharpshooter is seconds away from forcing "TV MA" Mark Adkins to tap here!! Carlos A. Shotgun is a few seconds away from being the XWF World Champ again. When "what's this?" Sasha Shotgun pulls her arm back, and SLAPS him across the face!! She slaps her own husband Carlos A. Shotgun, and the XWF fans are really confused now. They are all on their feet, and their attention is drawn to the married couple now. Carlos, and Sasha Shotgun share a moment. They completely stare each other down. He eventually releases the hold on Adkins, and then Carlos grabs her. He grabs her by the shoulder, and places her against the ropes. He starts questioning her at first, and then begins yelling at her!! The XWF fans don't know what to think. Carlos goes to walk away, and go back to work on Mark Adkins. But, she pulls him in for a hard, deep kiss, and then shoves him away .. Carlos turns, right in to an End on 5!!! "TV_MA" Mark Adkins makes the cover, and Sasha Shotgun makes the fast count, "1, 2, 3!!" The XWF fans are absolutely stunned here tonight. They don't even know how to respond yet. Some cheering. But, mostly everyone is boo'ing what just happend. They can't believe that Adkins swerved, and really joined forces with Sasha Shotgun of all people. He is joined with Carlos Shotgun's wife now, and she just screwed her own husband out of the XWF World Title! "TV MA" Mark Adkins is STILL the XWF World Heavyweight Champion. All thanks to the woman who we thought was going to ultimately end up screwing him out of this match. Instead, it's "TV_MA" who sneaks his way out of this main event on "Independence Day". This crazy cyber sunday event comes to a close here!! As Sasha Shotgun bends over to pick up the XWF World Title, and hands it to what appears to be her new man "TV_MA" Mark Adkins. He grabs a hold of it tight, and pulls the belt in close to his chest. He loves it with all his heart, and raising it high in the air for a second. The XWF fans boo him! Some are still supporting "TV_MA", and his antics. But, a lot of people upset, and quite frankly caught off guard here tonight.
Match Grade: B+, Match Duration: 25 minutes, and 41 seconds, Match Result: "TV_MA" Mark Adkins via pinfall
That's it for that main event. The XWF World Title does not change hands, and "TV_MA" is walking out of "Independence Day" still on top of the XWF world! She raises "TV_MA"s hand, and celebrates with him!! They both kind of jump up, and down hugging each other the whole time in the ring. Adkins is waving that XWF World Title around very proud of this moment, and they see Carlos stirring on the canvas. So, they both high tail it out of the ring. Sasha Shotgun, and Mark Adkins walk side-by-side backwards up the ramp. The XWF fans giving them an incredible amount of heat right now!! They are none too pleased at what just transpired here in tonight's main event. Sasha Shotgun, and "TV_MA" Mark Adkins walk with each other back up the ramp, and the XWF crowd LIVE! in attendance here in Washington DC can not believe their eyes!
As his theme music hits over the loud speakers, and everyone starts to realize what just transpired. Over a year in the making, and look what has happend? Carlos gets to a knee in the ring, and glares out at those 2 .. he has a hard time grasping what he's really seeing .. as he falls back to the canvas. Carlos Shotgun cluthches his stomach, and "TV MA" Mark Adkins raises the XWF World Title high in the air one more time, as he puts Sasha under his arm, and they share a passionate kiss on top of the ramp..
Jim Ross: "MY gawd! He came here with the XWF World Title, and he's leaving here with the man's DAMN wife!"
That's the last statement heard as the XWF cameras fade out on Mark Adkins, and Sasha Shotgun disappearing through the curtains towards the back.
