Oh, on the contrary Game. Let me inform ya that I am indeed IN CHARGE of "Meltdown" proceedings tonight. Mr. Lucente trusts me to get the job done as General Manager around this place.. you better start respecting that, and GET your ASS to the RING!!
The Game is furious, and he rips his shirt off. He runs down the ramp, and slides in the ring. He begins throwing punches at Dimter. But, at the same time Mike Dimter blocks those punches, and fires back with a few hard shots of his own! The crowd is buying in to this new comer, and he is working The Game back in to the ropes. He gives him a vicious chop across the chest, "WOOO!" He smiles, and delivers another HARD chop, "WOOOOOO!" Mike Dimter is loving the crowd reaction, and he steps back putting his hand to his ear like Hulk Hogan. The crowd goes wild for him, and he chops The Game again, "WOOOOOOO!" That's when Mike Dimter irishwhips him across the ring, and The Game bounces back right in to a BIG BOOT from Dimter. The crowd POPS, and Dimter takes off towards the ropes-- DROPPING a BIG LEG on The Game's throat, and makes the first cover of his XWF career. 1, 2, kick out!! The crowd boo's for a second. They were ready to celebrate an early victory. Dimter claps his hands, and tells the ref to speed up the count next time. The Game slowly gets to a knee, and when Dimter walks right in to a punch to the gut. The Game then punches him across the forehead, and tries working Dimter back to the center of the ring. The Game goes for a big right hand, and Mike Dimter avoids this attack. The Game misses, and turns right back in to Dimter's finisher known as "the Liberty Bell" (a Spinning Side Slam, in to a Reverse STO)!! He makes the cover, and the 1, 2, 3! The crowd actually celebrates for him, and there is soo much excitment in the building right now. Mike Dimter pops to his feet, and he enjoys this moment.
He then goes over hopping up on all 4 corners, and poses for the XWF fans. Flashbulbs go off everywhere as this rookie bounces back to the center of the ring, and soaks it all in one last time. As The Game gets escorted to the back by XWF officials.
Match Grade: D+, Match Duration: 2 minutes, and 56 seconds, Match Result: Mike Dimter via pinfall.
We then immediately cut backstage where Hawking Ripper is standing by with Mitch Keller, and he's mocking his opponent for tonight's proceedings.
Hawking Ripper: Rahhh. Rahhh! Rahhhh! I'm going to beeattt that scummm baggg Oblivionnn ... bluhhh. Bluhh. I am goinnngg.. to rippp himmm to shredddds! I willll destrrroyyy yoouuuu Oblivionnnnn!!! ...
He stops mocking him, and he just stares right in to the camera lens. The crowd kind of laughs at this scenario as he stares deep in to the camera.
In all seriousness Mitch. I have something planned for Oblivion tonight. I have something special for him .. a gift for my dear friend ... .. despite all his necro-rape .. ... tonight-- it all comes to an end. I'll show you people how blind Oblivion really is to his own disease. How blind he is to his own thoughts, and his own sense of communication. The man is obviously a monster, and he has a hard time spitting words out. But, tonight .. he won't have to worry about that. He'll be spitting up teeth, or spitting up blood. Or rather.. I'll be the one spitting alll over him tonight in that ring! For all my Autistic children out there. For all the XWF fans who are tired of necro-rape .... this is it. It ends tonight! We settle the score, and I show you that you couldn't possibly invision beating me .... ...
Hawking Ripper storms off towards the ring, and we then cut away from that backstage scene.
--------------------------
We then cut to "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton, and Gigantis talking strategy backstage.
"Dangerous" Cliff Saxton: Tonight, we got to do the right thing. Tonight, we need to put ourselves in position to win Tag Team Turmoil. We got what it takes Gigantis.. we just got to dig deep, and we will be walking out of "Meltdown" the new XWF Tag Team Champions ..
Gigantis: You got THAT right Cliff.
Suddenly, the other 2 members of S.O.S. walk in the room, and all 4 men are wearing the same t-shirt.
William Knighthawk: Listen here. I know you boys want to win as badly as we do. But, there's one dominate team of this group ...
Tyroneus Del Rio: Yeah, you guys are good. We wouldn't mind seeing you win either. If it's anyone besides us .. we obviously hope it's you guys. But, we are coming to win. Make no mistake about it padre. We are looking to capture XWF gold for the 1st time!!
So, at the end of the day.. what we're trying to say is. Good luck to you guys! We wish you well out there tonight.... but, don't forget who's side you're on. Don't forget we're a team.. we're a stable... we work together, and tonight someone in the Skeletons of Society is walking out the new XWF Tag Team Champions! I just really hope it comes down to us 4 facing off against each other to decide who that winner is going to be ..... but, regardless of what happens out there. We respect you guys. You are one of us, and we will do whatever it takes to protect the S.O.S. name.
Trust me William. There is no bad blood between us. There are no hard feelings here. We understand the buisness, and tonight there's a lot at stake for alll of us. Lets work together, and do what we do best. By the end of the night... someone in the Skeltons of Society will be new Undisputed XWF Tag Team Champs!
You got that right!
With that said. All 4 men share a stable-like glance around the room, and they prepare for their upcoming Tag Team Turmoil match tonight. As we cut back to ringside for the next matchup.
Hawking Ripper vs. Oblivion - Xtreme Rules match --
Oblivion makes his way to the ring first, and he is dressed in a large cutoff white shirt with his bizarre mask covering most of his face. The crowd doesn't take too kindly at this beast as he barks out at the fans nearby at ringside, and finally enters the ring raising both his hands in the air!! He gets massive heat from the crowd. Hawking Ripper's theme "At The Gates Of Manala" by Apocalyptica begins blaring over the loud speakers, and New York City responds with a loud pop for the young autistic superstar. He makes his way out with his buckethead, and a strange yellow shirt draped over him. He enters the ring, and the 2 lock eyes immediately. The referee checks on both men, and asks if they're ready. This time not patting anybody down, and the BELL RINGS for this match to start!
Those 2 lock up in the center of the ring, and Oblivion backs him down in to the corner. He presses his forearm against his throat, and then proceeds to Knee him in the mid-section!! He throws 4 vicious knees at his stomach, and Hawking Ripper finally collapses. Oblivion then lifts Hawking Ripper up by the head, and simply tosses him head-over-hills across the ring!! Hawking Ripper's back splatters the canvas, and he rolls to the outside apron in pain. Oblivion then walks over, and actually kicks him off the apron. Hawking Ripper falls to the outside mat, and the monster Oblivion gives chase. He starts stomping away on him on the outside, and lifts Ripper up. He goes, and swings him back-first in to the Steel steps! The crowd could hear that one echo'ing throughout Madison Square Garden. As Oblivion waste no time. He picks him up, and then places him over his shoulder. He then picks Hawking Ripper up, and throws him face-first in to the outside post!! The referee is still making the count, and he's at 7 .. when Oblivion rolls in to break up the count, and rolls back out. He snatches Hawking Ripper off the ground, and then mocks a section of fans that are sitting close to the ring. They boo him as he rolls Ripper back in the ring, and follows in behind him.
Don't forget it is Xtreme Rules here tonight! Anything goes, and Oblivion is really taking advantage of that. As he scoops Ripper up, and BODY SLAMS him back to the canvas! Now, Oblviion is going for his first cover of the night ..
Oblivion hooks the leg, and makes the cover on Hawking Ripper. 1, 2, kick out! Oblivion doesn't look pleased, and picks Ripper up by the hair this time. He shoves him over in to the corner, and then starts hammering away on him. Oblivion then irishwhips Hawking Ripper across the ring, and his back smashes the corner! Oblivion raises his fist in the air, and generates a lot of heat from the crowd in New York City as he rushes in, and Hawking Ripper sticks a stiff BOOT up in his grill! Oblivion stumbles backwards grasping his face, and Hawking Ripper quickly mounts the turnbuckle. He waits for Oblivion to turn around, and leaps on him for a beautiful Crossbody that he turns in to a pinning combination, 1, 2, kick out!! Oblivion was almost defeated there. As he rolls to his feet first, and goes to put the boots to Ripper. But, Hawking Ripper catches his foot, and gets off his lone knee. He has Oblviion's foot in his hands still, and Oblviion goes for an uncharacteristic Enziguri. But, Ripper ducks, and he misses his spot. Ripper still goes his foot, and he wraps Oblivion's legs up placing him in a Figure Four Leg Lock!!! The crowd marks out hard for this moment!!
He's got him! He's got him in that crucial submission hold!! Will he tap? Will Oblivion tap out here??
He's got it locked on good J.R. I'm not sure Oblivion is going to be table to survive this one.
Suddenly, Oblivion pulls his leg away from Hawking Ripper's grasp, and starts kicking him in the head. Eventually Ripper completely lets go, and rolls out of the way. They both scramble to their feet, and Oblivion charges KNOCKING Hawking Ripper to the canvas with a hard Shoulderblock take down! Oblivion takes off towards the ropes, and Ripper gets to his feet. Oblivion charges back, and Ripper actually leaps over him. Oblivion turns around, and walks right in to a Poke in the Eyes from Hawking Ripper. The big giant can't see, and he goes to grab his eyes. Suddenly, Ripper sneaks up behind him, and rolls him up in to a School boy pinning combination like last time they met. He grabs the tights, and the referee makes the count, 1, 2, .. kick out!
That was CLOSE.
VERY close. But, the pinning combo that put him away last Showdown! wasn't able to get the job done this time.
They both get to their feet, and Oblivion charges at Ripper who is using the ropes to pull himself up. Ripper ducks the Clothesline attempt, and pulls the ropes down so that Oblivion stumbles over the top rope. But, he lands on the outside apron, and when Ripper turns around the big monster Oblviion grabs him by the head-- he falls backwards off the apron SNAPPING Hawking Ripper's neck over the top rope. Oblivion quickly rolls back in the ring, and makes the cover, 1, 2, kick out! Oblivion then lifts Ripper up off the mat, and irishwhips him to the ropes. Hawking Ripper bounces back in to an incredible Spinning Slam!!! That hard shot looks like it must've knocked the wind out of Ripper, and Oblivion makes the cover. 1, 2, foot on the rope! Another close count, and Oblivion is beside himself. He goes to lift Hawking Ripper up off the ground slowly, and when he gets him to his feet that's when Oblivion begins talking trash to him. He gets in his face, and reaches back to slap him. But, Ripper blocks that shot, and leaps up drilling Oblivion with an amazing Dropkick!! That shot takes Oblivion off his feet, and he falls back on his butt. He's trying to use the ropes to pull himself up. But, Ripper rushes over, and starts pounding away at him. First kicking him, and then hitting him with open fists. The ref counts him off, and Ripper tells him it's an Xtreme Rules match he can do whatever he wants. Oblivion uses the ropes as leverage to pull himself up. However, Rippers hits him with another open hand, and Oblivion falls to a knee. Hawking Ripper then grabs him by the back of the head, and lifts him up. He irish whips him to the ropes, and Ripper goes towards the opposite ropes himself. They both bounce back towards the center of the ring, and Hawking Ripper does some sort of Corkscrew spinning shoulder block that knocks Oblivion down!! The crowd pops for that unusual maneuver, and then Hawking Ripper sees his moment. He goes to the ropes, and leaps up on the 2nd rope. He does a Lionsault on top of Oblivion in the center of the ring, and the referee makes the count. 1, 2, .. kick out!!
THE FANS can't believe it. I can't really believe it! I thought Oblivion was done right there...
He's tough J.R. He's resilient for a rookie.
Hawking Ripper looks around in disbelief. He then looks over at a group of fans near ringside, and decides to roll out of the ring. Hawking Ripper then approaches the barricade, and points out a group of fans holding signs. Some say "Hawking Ripper", some say "I'm AUTISTIC too!!" and it appears that Hawking Ripper is momentarily inspired by them. He shouts out at them that he's going to get the job done, and end it all for good TONIGHT!! But, Hawking Ripper gets distracted when he tells them autistic kids he's about to beat up on Oblivion. That's when Oblivion sneaks up behind, and grabs his head from behind. He then turns with him, and rams Ripper's shoulder in to that steel post. That loud thud really wakes the crowd up here in Madison Square Garden! Lots of heat for Oblivion as he rolls Ripper in ring, and sneaks up behind again. This time he latches on with that Full Nelson finishing submission hold known as the "Straight Jacket"!!!
He got him in the STRAIGHT JACKET!! This really spells doom for Hawking Ripper I think J.R. ...
The monster known as Oblivion is working Hawking Ripper over. He falls to the mat with him, and he's got that painful submission hold locked in! He has the Straight Jacket on tight, and Hawking Ripper isn't going anywhere. HE might tap now!
Oblivion falls to the ground with him, and rolls him around almost like an Aligator would. He looks like he's about to get Hawking Ripper to tap here tonight. But, at the last second Ripper puts his foot on the rope, and the referee taps Oblivion. He lets him know he needs to release the hold. But, Oblivion thinks that that means he won. He jumps up, and down celebrating! The crowd is laughing at this whole scene. As Hawking Ripper rolls to a corner of the ring, and starts reaching in his large boot for something. The referee is trying to communicate, and indicate to Oblivion he hasn't won this Xtreme Rules match yet.
He think he's won. Oblivion thinks he's won!
Oblivion argues with him that he should have won already via submission. But, the ref says "no", and Oblivion pushes passed him. He grabs Hawking Ripper, and pulls him in for what looks to be an attempt at "The Black Hole". However, Ripper breaks away from Oblivion's grasp before he can hit that finishing Spin around DDT! All of a sudden Hawking Ripper sprays mase in his face, and Oblivion is blind!!! He stomps around the ring, holding his eyes, and growling like an angry beast. The referee checks on him to see if he's okay. Hawking Ripper steps back, and chills out for a moment as Oblivion tries to get a sense where he is at. That's when Oblivion turns towards Hawking Ripper who takes off towards him out of a 3-point stance, and drills him with an incredible GORE!! He hits him with that GORE out of nowhere, and he covers him up for the 1, 2, 3!! The crowd doesn't know how to respond. Some clap, and cheer for Hawking Ripper. Supporting the first Autistic wrestler in XWF history .. winning his 2nd match in a row, and his 2nd against Oblivion in just a few short weeks. Hawking Ripper quickly rolls out of the ring, and high tails it back up the ramp... Oblivion starts coming to when EMTs rush out to help flush his eyes out, and then he destroys one EMT with "The Black Hole" finisher, and then drags one EMT down to the ground kicking him with one of his signature moves known as the S.T.O.M.P.!!! He pummels the EMT, and he shouts out up the ramp at Hawking Ripper who pops his buckethead out one more time before the scene fades to an XWF promo.
Match Grade: B, Match Duration: 9 minutes, and 11 seconds, Match Result: Hawking Ripper via pinfall.
After that extraordinary match. We have Ryan Ryder, and The Dark Stranger of the ReArrangers talking strategy backstage.
Ryan Ryder: You know what's at stake buddy. The oppurtunity of a lifetime. There are 3 other teams vying for our spot. TO be the XWF Tag Team Champions. But, we can't let this oppurtunity slip. We got to give it our all.
Dark Stranger: Don't worry Ryder. Tonight we become Tag Team Champions yet again!
They share a slight smile, and then it looks like they are going off to get ready for this TAG TEAM TURMOIL match that is UP NEXT!!!
-----------------------
The scene opens to a dark room, no lights on nothing can be seen its pitch dark. The only thing you can hear is Justice Legal breathing heavily! He's upset, devastated about something.
Justice Legal: Let's cut to the chase, ya I might be in a dark room but I'm still here..still alive, just waiting to wrestle Crimson Tide tonight! But after watching that Oblivion vs. Hawking Ripper match I'm pissed! Ya I might be wrestling later tonight but I'll cross that path when I come to it!
Justice Legal lets out a deep breath.
Hawking Ripper, you're some lucky you sick bastard lucky that you haven't been fired from XWF! No one here lieks YOU, everybody hates HAWKING RIPPER! And after I watched that match tonight, I went to Mr. Lucente's office and tried to get a match against you at the KOX qualifiers, but Lucente wouldn't let me fight you. His excuse was I'll get you eventually. And you know why I think he won't give me you? Because I think Mr. Lucente IS HAWKING RIPPER! So Lucente here's what I have to say to you; you wrestle me to show everyone you aren't Hawking Ripper! If you don't I LEAVE XWF!
The lights flicker on to reveal Legal's new look.
He has no face paint on tonight, and he's wearing a feathered jacket with some shades on his face. Justice Legal gets up and walks out the door as the cameras follow him, he continues down the hall as he sees Hawking Ripper, he confronts him. Justice Legal takes off his shades to get a better look, and then begins removing his jacket. Hawking Ripper smiles and laughs as Legal punches him in the face! The two brawl as Ripper stumbles and Legal grabs hairspray from a nearby table. He sadistically laughs as he sprays it in Ripper's face!
How's it feel Hawking! HUH?
Legal superkicks Ripper as XWF Officials run down the hall to break them up, Ripper falls down as security comes down the hall. Justice Legal rips off his own shirt, and throws it down at him.
As he hovers over top of him that's when Legal spits on Ripper as security and XWF referees escort Legal to his locker room.
We then cut to ringside for the next upcoming match for the XWF Tag Team Titles it will be TAG TEAM TURMOIL.
What was THAT alll about J.R.?
It's no secret those 2 don't like each other. Hawking Ripper made it personal, and now Justice Legal can't take it. He better focus though... he has the biggest match of his career tonight against an XWF Hall of Famer in Crimson Tide. Last thing he wants to do is make enemies with Hawking Ripper, and Mr. Lucente ..
Yeah. Did he say Mr. Lucente was Hawking Ripper? No way! I don't believe it.
Well, that's one man's theory. But, it's obvious Justice Legal's emotions are getting the best of him here tonight .. ..
Well, lets send it to the ring with Danielle Worley for the official announcement.
Wreckin Crew (c) vs. Gigantis & Cliff Saxton vs. ReArrangers vs. William Knighthawk & Tyroneus Del Rio. - TAG TEAM TURMOIL -- for the XWF Undisputed Tag Team Titles --
The Wreckin' Crew comes out first to their theme music "Pot" by Tool. They don't seem pleased as Flip is dragging his tag team belt down the ramp, and Brutality has his slung over his shoulder. The fans POP loud for these 2 as they make their way down the ramp. They get in the ring, and Flip Johnson sort of walks Danielle Worley down in to the corner. Intimidating her before he asks for the mic.
Flip Johnson: Listen up! Because, I'm only going to say this once. I knew it .. I knew the XWF was going to do what they had to do to stack the odds up against us. What did I tell you Brute? You can't trust anybody around here, and Shawn Taylor has it out for us!! Let me tell you something Mr. GM!! We don't take too kindly to your insults... we are the best this industry has to offer. Pound for pound the greatest tag team this company has ever seen. We are the current "UNDISPUTED" XWF Tag Team Champions! You want to start us off 1st in this Tag Team Turmoil matchup? So be it. It's our very first match in Madison Square Garden... where stars have been born, and history has been made! Tonight, we put out the flames of the other tag teams burning desire to be the Tag Team Champs! Because, that's what we are, and we're not going to just hand it over to them. They got to come out here, and try to TAKE these from us!!
With that said Flip Johnson tosses the mic to the outside mat, and not allowing Danielle Worley to do her job announcing the next team. He raises his Tag Team strap high in the air!
Then the theme song for Gigantis starts up, and the crowd starts to boo. That's when 2 of the members from S.O.S. "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton, and Gigantis begin making their way out. They point up, and shout things out at the Wreckin' Crew who looks fumed. They talk it over on the outside, and Cliff Saxton orders Gigantis to go up the steps to take them on first. So, Gigantis marches up the steps, and he steps over the top rope with ease. Brutality decides he's big enough to handle this giant, and so they step to each other in the middle of the ring. Brutality sticks his chest out but he's still a under a foot smaller than Gigantis who is scaring the children, and putting people in awe here in Madison Square Garden who have never seen his 7'6'' frame up close.
This is about to be a slobber knocker!!
I thought it was Tag Team Turmoil??
The bell sounds, and Brutality tries to wrap his arms around Gigantis squeezing the life out of him. At first it appears to be working, and he's wearing the beast down. But, then Gigantis lifts his huge arm, and CHOPS Brutality viciously across the shoulder! Brutality lets go of his grip, and walks around the ring grasping the back of his neck. He then walks right in to a devlish BIG BOOT from Gigantis, and the monster doesn't stop there. He bends down, and lifts Brutality up by the head in that sickening Vice Grip known as "The Migraine"! He swings Brutality around, and then "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton calls him over. Gigantis places Brutality in the S.O.S. corner, and then raises his arm giving him an open hand SLAP across the chest!! The crowd cringes at the sound echoing throughout the arena. Gigantis then reaches over, and tags Cliff Saxton. Who does not hesitate to enter the ring, and quickly start putting the boots to Brutality in the corner!! He then gets up in his face, and yells something ignorant in his ear! Cliff proceeds to irishwhip Brutality across the ring, and his back smashes in his own corner. Cliff Saxton charges in but Brutality throws a hard right ELBOW shot to his face! Cliff goes to grasps his jaw, and Brutality tags Flip in. When Cliff turns around Flip starts punching him back alll the way towards the ropes, and then irish whips him across the ring. When Cliff bounces back Flip Johnson meets him with a well-executed Lou Thesz Press!! Flip Johnson stays mounted on top of Cliff Saxton, and begins unloading shots on his face. The referee tries to break it up but Flip pushes the referee away. Flip continues hammering on him, and Gigantis enters the ring. But, the referee now has to try to back him down to his own corner. He warns Gigantis he could be DQ'ed for this. Flip sees his moment, and drags Cliff over to his corner. Brutality has his boot out on the top rope, and Flip rams Cliff's head in to his boot. Prompting Gigantis to try to push past the ref. But, again the ref warns him he will be Disqualified. Flip Johnson places Cliff in the Wreckin' Crew corner, and leaves Brutality to CHOKE HIM OUT behind the referee's back. Flip walks up behind the ref, and taunts Gigantis some more. Then Flip turns around, and rushes right at Cliff Saxton drilling him with a Flying Clothesline!! That hard shot takes Cliff Saxton down to the mat, and Flip yells out at the ref as he covers him up. The referee finally turns around, and makes the count. 1, 2, foot on the rope!
Great double team by the Wreckin' Crew. They almost had 'em there!
Flip can't believe it, and he reaches up to Brutality. He takes Brutality in, and Brutality starts stomping away hard at Cliff Saxton. He lifts him on the mat, and irish whips him towards the ropes. Cliff bounces back, and is met with a brutal Sidewalk Slam!!! That shakes the ring, and Brutality makes the cover. 1, 2, kick out! Madison Square Garden seems to be really buzzing for the first time all night. Brutality stands to his feet, and mocks Gigantis. That prompts Gigantis to want to step over the top rope again, and try to attack them. But, the ref again holds him back. Flip Johnson behind the refs back steps in the ring, and just drops an Elbow on Cliff Saxton's skull. He quickly rolls out of the ring as the ref turns around, and Brutality scoops Cliff Saxton up just Body Slamming him back to the mat. He goes to make the cover on him again. 1, 2, but Gigantis enters the ring, and DROPS A BIG LEG on top of Brutality!! The referee is forced to break the count. But, he's not to pleased about Gigantis' outside interference. He warns him one last time, and ushers him to the outside apron as best as he can. Brutality looks hurt as he rolls around grasping his back. Cliff Saxton looks equally devestated from that Big Leg, and he looks like the wind has been knocked out of them. Both superstars twisting on the mat, and who will make the tag first? Brutality starts crawling for the wrong corner, and Cliff Saxton finally gathers himself a bit. He starts crawling for the tag, and Brutality is aware what is happening now. He starts crawling after Cliff Saxton. He goes to grab his foot from the ground. But, "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton reaches up at the last second, and TAGS in Gigantis!!
Uh oh!
Here comes the 7'6'' giant again.
Gigantis lifts Brutality off the ground with his 2 barehands, and just holds him up in the air choking him to death!! The referee counts Gigantis off, and he finally drops him to the ground. Gigantis argues with the official some more, and then picks Brutality up off the ground. He shoves him back in the Wreckin' Crew's corner, and begins pounding away at him. Inside forearm shots, and stiff knees to the mid-section! Gigantis then starts choking away at him, and the referee counts him off once again! The ref tries pulling Gigantis away, and the monster turns yelling at the referee. Brutality reaches back, and TAGS in Flip Johnson. The referee notices the tag, and even signals there's been a tag. Gigantis is unaware though, and he turns right in to Brutality who BOOTS him in the shin. Flip Johnson then mounts the turnbuckle as Brutality crawls behind Gigantis' legs. Flip Johnson leaps off the top rope for a Flying Clothesline!! With Brutality ducked behind Gigantis it's even easier to take him off his feet. Gigantis goes falling over backwards, and Flip Johnson quickly sees his chance to cover him up for the pin. Cliff Saxton tries to help but Brutality knocks him out the ring with a stiff right hand. The referee makes the count, and the 1, 2, 3! The XWF crowd celebrates as the first tag team is down, and the Wreckin' Crew moves on to the next tag team that's about to come out here.
Great early win by the Wreckin' Crew! Great strategy to throw Gigantis off guard. He wasn't ready for that semi-sneak attack, and he got pinned almost out of nowhere. The referee is ordering those 2 members of the S.O.S. to the back.
Ryan Ryder decides to start this one off against Flip Johnson. He tries entering the ring but Flip hammers on him right away. He pulls Ryan Ryder to the center of the ring, and plants him with a DDT! Flip then rolls over, and tags in Brutality right away. "Brute" enters the ring, and goes to bend over to pick Ryan Ryder up by the head. But, Ryder punches him in the face, and when he tries bending over again he reaches his leg back kicking Brutality square across the top of his head! Ryan Ryder rolls out of there, and stands up in his corner. He talks strategy to Dark Stranger before tagging the large man in. Dark Stranger enters the ring against Brutality, and the 2 lock up in the center of the ring. Dark Stranger works him back towards his own corner, and throws a hard knee in his mid-section. Dark Stranger then gives Brutality a Hip Toss towards the mat, and then gets up in Flip Johnson's face. Flip is furious, and he tries to enter the ring. The ref quickly holds him back. Dark Stranger picks Brutality up, and pushes him back in to the ReArranger's corner. He starts punching away at his mid-section as Ryan Ryder holds his arms back over the ropes.
Brutality is defenseless out there, and Dark Stranger is working on him!
The referee turns around, and Ryan Ryder lets go, acting like he wasn't doing anything. Dark Stranger irish whips Brutality across the ring in to his own corner. Then Dark Stranger takes off crushing him with a Stinger Splash in the corner! Brutality looks hurt from that move, and stumbles to the center of the ring. He falls to a knee as Dark Stranger climbs up the mutual corner, and gets ready for Brutality to turn around. When he does Dark Stranger leaps off, and connects with an Extreme Lariat! A top rope clothesline that nearly takes Brutality's head off, and sends him down to the canvas. Dark Stranger makes his first cover of the night, and the 1, 2, kick out! Dark Stranger gets to his feet, and looks like he might want to put Brutality away with a Tombstone here. But, Ryan Ryder is calling him on. He wants the tag right now.
Dark Stranger signaling for the Darkness Falls. But, what's this??
Ryan Ryder is demanding a tag from his partner. Dark Stranger seems hesitant but walks over, and tags him in. Ryan Ryder sizes Brutality up, and as he starts getting to his knees. Ryan Ryder sees his moment. Soon as Brutality is starting to get up, and is still hunched over-- here comes Ryan Ryder for his "Ryde or Die" signature move!! But, Brutality moves out the way just in time, and avoids that Scissors Kick manuever! Bruality reaches back, and tags him Flip Johnson. Then Brutality charges, and goes for a clothesline on Ryan Ryder. But, he ducks it, and then Dark Stranger enters the ring. He starts whailing on Brutality, and Flip Johnson tries a sneak attack on Ryan Ryder. But, as he charges in Ryder grabs him, and executes a quick Spinning Slam to the canvas!! He tries to make the quick cover but the referee isn't there. He is distracted with the brawl going on between the 2 illegal men. Ryan Ryder gets to his feet, and tries pulling the referee back to the action. Flip Johnson staggers to his feet, and Ryan Ryder turns just in time. Ryder kicks Flip in the guts, and executes his finisher known as the "Force of Nature"!! He drills him with that deadly Cross Rhodes finisher. But, the referee is still trying to seperate those 2 big men who are just beating up on each other in that corner. Ryan Ryder argues with the official some more, and tries to pull him away. Finally Brutality is forced to step to the outside, and he does. Dark Stranger took most of the beating, and is leaning with his back on the corner. The referee is talking to him warning he needs to get out of the ring. But, Ryder is pulling the official over to make the count. Ryan Ryder gets down, and hooks a leg. The referee finally turns around, and makes the count. 1, 2, kick out!
They wasted too much time. Dark Stranger was working Brutality over in the corner, and not complying with the ref. May have just cost him the easy pinall there.
Ryan Ryder can't believe it, and he slams his fists on the canvas. He turns to stands up, and Dark Stranger manages to bump in to Ryan Ryder as he's rolling back to his feet. On accident. Prompting Ryder to argue with him for a moment, and tell him he needs to "GET OUT OF THE RING!" Dark Stranger pleads with Ryder a moment. But, Ryder doesn't look too happy about this. He demands he gets out of the ring, and as Ryan Ryder turns around. He is met with a BOOT to the stomach by Flip Johnson, and followed by his finisher known as "LIGHTS OUT"! A hard Stunner by Flip Johnson sends Ryan Ryder bouncing around the ring. Brutality pulls Dark Stranger down from off the outside apron, and begins beating on him a moment. As the referee makes the count in the ring, and the 1, 2, 3!! The ReArrangers have been eliminated due to their own lack of communication. That leaves us with only one more team to come out. That's going to be another pair from the "Skeletons Of Society". As their theme music "Dead Skin Mask" by Slayer begins blaring over the P.A. System. That's when William Knighthawk, and Tyroneus Del Rio come out wearing their S.O.S. t-shirts. They look ready as ever as they make their way down the ramp, and are ready to give the Wreckin' Crew the fight of their lives.
This should be a good one J.R. Who is going to walk out the XWF Tag Team Champions? Will the Wreckin' Crew retain their belts fighting through 3 teams tonight in this Tag Team Turmoil match? Or will the S.O.S. finally know what it feels like to have gold around their waists??
It's going to be a tough battle. I'll tell you that! The Wreckin' Crew has went through 2 teams already. But, they don't look to have exhausted that much energy from the first 2 battles to be honest with you. So, it looks like ANYONE'S fight at this moment!
The Wreckin' Crew regroups in their corner, and the "Skeletons Of Society" talk over who will start this one off first. It looks like it's going to be William Knighthawk, and Brutality starting this last round of Tag Team Turmoil matchup.
William Knighthawk eyes him down, and they circle each other up a moment. Brutality hoaxes him to lock up in a game of mercy! William Knighthawk complies, and locks fingers with him. Brutality bends Knighthawk's fingers back, and have him dropping to 2 knees in pain. Brutality then drills him with an inside knee shot to the face! The XWF fans are marking out for the Wreckin' Crew right now as Brutality bounces towards the ropes, and comes back with a Flying Shoulder block! That hard shot takes William Knighthawk down, and Brutality picks him up off the mat. He taunts Tyroneus Del Rio, and points out at him. He yells, "This is FOR YOU!" Brutality then lifts William Knighthawk up for a High Angle Suplex. He holds him high up there, and then just holds him with ONE ARM up in the air.
WHAT strength. What pure STRENGTH by that big man known as Brutality!
Brutality then finally plants Knighthawk in the canvas, and covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! Brutality then walks over, and tags in Flip Johnson. Before Flip can grab a hold of Knighthawk's feet however he scrambles to his corner, and makes the quick tag to Tyroneus Del Rio. The crowd pops, and gets excited here in Madison Square Garden for this tag team showdown. The winning team will be the XWF Undisputed Tag Team Champions, and that's got the fans riled up!!!! Tyroneus steps through the ropes, and charges Flip who snaps him over with a beautiful Arm Drag!! Flip doesn't release the arm, and instead puts pressure on it while Del Rio looks helpless on the mat. Flip Johnson tightens the hold, and tries to get him to tap here. But, Del Rio works his way off the mat, and clobbers Flip with an open right hand. Flip releases the arm, and Tyroneus goes towards the ropes. He bounces back, and ducks a clothesline attempt by Flip. He then hops on the 2nd rope, and leaps backwards for a Crossbody. However, Flip tries to catch him, and he spills backwards. Tyroneus for a split second has Flip pinned. But, then Flip rolls him over, and he has now got Tyroneus Del Rio pinned down for the 1, 2, kick out! The crowd is electric as they scream "TWOOOO!" Tyroneus Del Rio looks shocked, and very upset. He charges at Flip, and Flip simply trips him up with a Sweep of some sort! He thens rolls him on Tyroneus Del Rio on the mat, and extends Del Rio's leg up behind his back! Flip then quickly turns it in to an STF, and the crowd marks out!
Flip Johnson trying to show his technical wrestling ability. Wearing Del Rio down, and trying to stay in control.
Tyroneus manages to crawl for the bottom rope, and grab it. Forcing Flip Johnson to release the hold. Flip goes over, and tags in Brutality. But, not before William Knighthawk gets tagged in. Knighthawk ducks a big right hand by Brutality, and then starts firing JABS right in to the big man's skull. He ducks another big right hand, and this times drills him with a perfectly executed Dropkick! That shot sends Brutality flying back towards the mat, and William Knighthawk makes the quick cover on him. 1, 2, kick out! The fans are very in to this match here tonight, and Knighthawk goes on the offensive. He gets Brutality up in to the corner, and starts working him over. Hard open hands to the rib cage, and a few kicks to the shin. He rakes Brutality's eyes, and stomps on his foot. He then grabs him by the back of the head, and runs foreward with him-- before DROPPING him with a crucial Bulldog!! The crowd boo's the heck out of Knighthawk, and he makes another cover. 1, 2, kick out again! William Knighthawk throws Brutality in a sideheadlock on the canvas. Just wearing the large man down. The referee raises Brutality's arm once, and it drops. He raises his arm again, and again it drops. He raises his arm a 3rd time, and somehow Brutality manages to keep it up! The fans are stirring right now, and clapping trying to inspire Brutality to get to his feet.
The fans are falling in love with the Wreckin' Crew tonight here in Madison Square Garden ... this at our summer ending pay per view.. "Meltdown!" .. sponsored by Snickers, Axe Spray, and Sony Playstation 3. But, right now.. it's Knighthawk wearing the champions down.
You know what I just realized J.R.? These people in New York City are a bunch of front runners.. they are. One moment they are against a tag team like the Wreckin' Crew, and now they're rooting them on. I don't get it! Bunch of front runners if you ask me ...
Why don't you get on the mic, and tell them that. None the less it's Knighthawk stomping away at Brutality in the ring, and trying to stay in control of this Tag Team Turmoil matchup! We're almost at our conclusion. We're almost about to find out who will walk out the victors here tonight ..
William Knighthawk scoops Brutaitly up, and Bodyslams him to the canvas. He then drops an elbow on his skull, and covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! William Knighthawk decides to just go over to his corner, and talk strategy with Tyroneus Del Rio before tagging him in. Flip Johnson desperately wants a tag right now! Del Rio sizes Brutality up, and then gets in Flip's face. That provokes Flip to try to get in the ring. Del Rio then turns around, and suspecting he'll have a hurt Brutality to double-team on. Instead Brutality is waiting for him, and lays him out with a great Sidewalk Slam!! Brutality then hops to his feet, and the crowd is PUMPED!!
EVERYONE is on their feet in the soldout Madison Square Garden here tonight!! They want to see Brutality put Del Rio away with one of his pattenden moves.
Brutality fires the crowd up, and stretches his arms to his side signaling this is it. He scoops Del Rio off the mat, and places him in a Torture Rack!!! The crowd marks out hard, and it looks like Tyroneus Del Rio might tap here. Instead, William Knighthawk rushes in the ring, and dives shoulder-first in to the back of Brutality's knee! That hard shot from behind buckles Brutality's knee, and he drops to the canvas with Del Rio practically landing on him. Flip Johnson is pissed, and he hops off his own apron to go run around the ring to attack Knighthawk. But, "The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk spots him, and hops off the outside apron as well. They start exchanging blows on the bottom of the ramp. Tyroneus Del Rio points out, and yells something out at them. He turns to rush towards Brutality who is just getting off the canvas in the center of the ring. When Brutality sidesteps him, and grabs Tyroneus Del Rio by the head-- accidentally LAUNCHING him right in to the referee!! That hard shot takes the official down, and Brutality doesn't stop there. He picks Tyroneus Del Rio up by the head, and yells something in his face. Tyroneus goes to slap Brutality but he blocks it, and kicks Del Rio in the stomach instead! Tyroneus keels over, and Brutality sets him up for his finisher. Brutality then lays out Del Rio with that Sitdown Powerbomb!! But, the ref isn't there to count it. Brutality rolls off of Del Rio, and tries waking the referee up. He picks him up by the back of the shirt, and slaps him around a bit. But, it doesn't seem to be working. Knighthawk meanwhile just tosses Flip Johnson back-first in to that outside barricade.
What's happening out here J.R.?
Absolute chaos! The official is down, and Knighthawk is taking it to Flip Johnson on the outside.
Brutality looks pissed as he looks like he might go for another Sitdown Powerbomb on Tyroneus Del RIo just for good measure. But, then suddenly another official rushes out, and some reason Brutality is arguing with that referee. He is trying to point out William Knighthawk is on the apron, and the referee isn't listening to him. The ref is trying to argue with Brutality, and he has had enough. Brutality ends up pushing that official down hard!! The XWF crowd is in a frenzy as Knighthawk sneaks in with a Enzuigiri to the back of Brutality's skull.
WHAT impact!
He's not done there J.R.
William Knighthawk then shouts out at the XWF crowd, "you're looking at your NEW Champions!" Before he lifts Brutality off the ground, and follows that up with by drilling him with "Out of Your Misery" (that famous Craddle Piledriver)!!! It lays Brutality out, and the Madison Square Garden crowd is very angry right now. They are giving the S.O.S. a lot of heat, and Knighthawk rolls Tyroneus Del Rio out of the ring. He then starts shaking the original referee, and he finally comes to. Knighthawk covers Brutality up in the center of the ring, and the referee crawls over for the 1,... 2,.... 3!! We have NEW tag team champions.. William Knighthawk, and Tyroneus Del Rio!!!
I can't believe it J.R.!
Believe it. The Skeletons of Society do it again! They manage to find a way to outsmart the Wreckin' Crew here tonight, and now they are XWF Tag Team Champions for the verry first time.
This is William Knighthawk's, and Tyroneus Del Rio's first time winning XWF gold J.R.! I could almost not stand it ... THESE two guys are our XWF Tag Team Champs now??
They rush out of the ring, and grabs their XWF Tag Team Titles off the time keeper's table. They start heading around the ring, and celebrating with their titles held high in the air! They are jumping up & down, and just hugging each other on the bottom of the ramp!! They point, and they laugh at the Wreckin' Crew who are laid out right now. They celebrate some more with their belts raised high in the air, and then they leave up the ramp to their S.O.S. theme song.
Match Grade: B+, Match Duration: 20 minutes, and 4 seconds, Match Result: Knighthawk & Del Rio via pinfall.
We now cut backstage where GM Shawn Taylor is in his office, and he has Carlos Shotgun, and Jon Hampton standing above his desk. They look like they are ready to exchange blows right now.
Fellas, fellas, fellas! Lets not get too fiesty in here. YOU know the rules. Nobody touches the other man .. until the bell sounds. You have strict orders from me tonight .. or you will be suspended for a YEAR. I know neither of you wants that. How would you eat? How would you clothe yourselves? How would you ride around in expensive limos, and fly on your personal jets--
Carlos Shotgun: Lets cut to the chase Taylor. Why'd you call us in here??
"Why?!" .. "WHY?!?" you ask?? Because, I'm the General Manager that's why, and because I can. But, more importantly I called you in here to let you in on a little secret... you see.. your match tonight .... Hampton versus Shotgun. Well, it's not going to be for just "ol' time sake". No, no, no! TONIGHT you two will be going 1-on-1 to decide who will be the new #1 contender, and headlining "King of Xtreme" opposite our XWF World Heavyweight Champion. So, fellas .. as you see... as you see you stupid little blokes. I am STILL your General Manager, and I am STILL in charge around here. You two wanted to poke your nose in at the end of that battle royale last week... fine. Jon Hampton you feel slighted at what took place-- okay. Carlos... you want to become XWF World Heavyweight Champion for only a 3rd-time ..
That's 3 more times than you've been champ ... ... ...
You know Carlos. You just LOVE taking cheap shots at me. But, I know just as well as you do.. you don't want to face Adkins again. Oh, you might make up some self loathing story about how you are finished with him. How you are going to strike whenever you feel like it. Keep Adkins on his toes in the meantime .. but, let me tell you something Shotgun. I'M the one who is in charge! I'M the General Manager, and what I say GOES! So, you either face losing to Jon Hampton tonight, and I know you don't want to do that .. I know you can't face losing to this man. Or you actually go out there to win this match tonight ... then you get exactly what you CLAIM you don't want. That's a match with Adkins on one of the biggest nights in XWF history... I'm talking about "King of Xtreme 2011". So, Carlos .. as you can see. You no longer hold all the cards. I'm the one making the plays now, and this is what you're left with. You verus THIS MAN ... "The Chosen One"... "The Ultimate One" ... Jon "THE MAN" Hampton ... ... for the NUMBER ONE contendership! So, good luck out there fellas. Break a leg ..
Jon Hampton takes it all in, and then stares over at Carlos Shotgun. They share an intense glance at each other, and then Shotgun exits the room first. Hampton stays back to consult with Shawn Taylor, and we cut backstage to what looks like a Boiler Room of some sorts. Crimson Tide is pacing back, and fourth it looks like in a leather jacket. He is wearing his trademark face paint, and he looks ready for this next match.
Crimson Tide: Look around .. what do you see? Nothing. It's just me, and I'm alll alone. Just like I have been a majority of my life. On my own two feet... I have had to face many battles. Climb many hills, and square off against the biggest giants this world had to offer!! I have been successful, and I have failed in the same time .... I told myself-- "Win or Lose" .. at XTREME MANIA 6 .... that I was done! That my career was over. But, then some kid wants to come, and call me out. Some young punk with a hard on for me decides he's going to try to take all his anger, and frustrations out on me ... maybe he thought squaring off with a legend ... maybe he thought challenging a Hall of Famer would make him equally as famous as one. But, this kid needs to learn when to SHUT HIS MOUTH!! This ISN'T his federation ... I could BLINK, and he could be gone for all I care. He's not around me right now .. he's not back here right now, and out in that ring .. I'm willing to bet he disappears. That he shrinks, and he shrivels up in a little ball. He's more focused on Hawking Ripper. He should be worried about what I'm about to do to him! BARBWIRE ropes.. HIGH explosives!! I have NEVER been in this type of matchup before.. not in the XWF at least, and Justice Legal... I know you have never seen one of these type of matches before. How do you think you'll fare? How do you think you'll do against the likes of me?? You made a BAD choice calling me out of retirement. I'm not 78 years old like Ric Flair .. I'm not a ONE TRICK PONY like Hollywood Hulk Hogan ... hell, I'm not Mars, and I'm not 9LP. I'm not Number 8 ... I'm not Stephen Blood, or Rage .. or any one of those retired Hall of Famers. I made a living off blood... I made a name for myself off of blood... I signed the first XWF CONTRACT IN 1998 IN MY OWN BLOOD!! Tonight, I will sign your death certificate for you ... in your own blood Justice Legal. You think Pain is Legal?? Well, I don't care what you think. One way or another.... you come to find out why I am one of the best this company has ever seen! Why you shouldn't play tricks on the leader of MIND GAMES!! Tonight Justice Legal... by hook... or by crook ..... with your body dangling helplessly over those barbwire ropes ..... .. you will finally know what it's like to be SIMPLY EXECUTED!!!
The XWF crowd marks out hard for Crimson Tide out here in Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City. Crimson Tide walks out of view from the cameras, and the scene cuts to a look at our sponsors for tonight's pay per view. We've got Snickers, Axe Spray, and Sony Playstation 3 representing us tonight.
-------------------
Before we get to the next match. Here's a look at the official band for "King of Xtreme", and the official theme song for our 2011 pay per view event taking place on October 2nd.
It'll be the guys of Radio Head coming to us LIVE! from Phoenix, Arizona for the annual "King of Xtreme" tournament, and pay per view event. More to come on the event in the weeks leading up to it.
---------------------
Justice Legal vs. Crimson Tide - Unsanctioned -- Barbwire-ropes, and High-explosives match --
Justice Legal comes out first, and receives mixed reaction from the crowd. Mostly heat though as he enters the ring, and looks ready as ever. The barbwire surrounds the ring, and there are 4 high-explosives near each corner of the ring. Justice Legal looks around at what he just got himself in to. Suddenly, the lights turn off, and Madison Square Garden goes PITCH BLACK. "Sweet Dreams" by Marilyn Manson begins playing over the loud speakers, and suddenly Crimson Tide drops from the ceiling straight in to the ring. He unhooks the harness, and turns to face Justice Legal. The referee stands in between both of them, and starts telling them the rules of the matchup. The crowd is absolutely buzzing, and they are very estatic by the entrance of Crimson Tide as well as his inevitable return to the ring tonight against the man who's been calling him out for over a month- Justice Legal. They get right in each other's faces, and they don't hold back what they really want to say. They are pretty much spitting, and just yelling at each other. The BELL SOUNDS, and Crimson Tide backs up a foot. He removes his leather jacket, and tosses it out in to the crowd. Justice Legal rushes in, and goes for a big punch. But, Crimson Tide blocks it, and starts firing shots back. He works Legal all the way towards those barbwire ropes, and then Legal breaks away from him before he can shove him back-first in to the barbwire. Justice Legal side steps Crimson Tide, and starts circling around the ring.
I don't think Justice Legal realizes what he got himself in to.
I think you're right King. He's pacing back, and fourth .. he desperately doesn't want to be clawed up by that ugly barbwire out there ..
Crimson Tide places his hand around the top rope of the barbwire on purpose, and squeezes down. He makes his hand start bleeding, and he shows it to Justice Legal. But, the young man can almost not believe it. He charges in, and goes for another big right hand. But, Tide ducks it, and then SLAPS him with that bloody open hand to the FACE!! Legal can't believe it, and he grasps his cheek. He looks up at Tide, and he's pissed. He charges at him, and Tide gives him a Drop Toe Hold!! He then quickly mounts Legal for a Camel Clutch!! That deadly submission hold begins wearing Justice Legal down, and the 2009 XWF Hall of Famer is in great position early on. The fans are cheering him on, and he's got Legal right where he wants him. Legal tries to sit up, and raise Tide off of him. But, Tide instead jumps up, and sits down hard on Legal's back! Tide then releases the hold on his own, and begins stomping away at Legal's spine!! Tide then slaps the back of his head, and taunts the young rookie.
He's showing him who's boss early on here J.R.
Crimson Tide definitely sending a message. You don't call an XWF Hall of Famer out of retirement like that .. especially not one as sadistic as Crimson Tide. I mean, he's only a few months removed from an XWF ring. His last battle coming to a loss at the hands of Rage at "Xtreme Mania 6". The same night Justice Legal debuted in a Dark Match to open the night against Cliff Saxton, and Legal ended up winning his 1st match in the XWF!
I remember like it was yesterday .. but, it was back on May 29th, and here on August 28th ... only 3 months later-- it's Tide back in the driver's seat, and he's taking Legal for a ride here tonight!
Crimson Tide drops an elbow on Legal's spine, and then goes to drag one of those High-explosives to the center of the ring. He then starts lifting Legal off the ground, and looks like he might try to plant him with a DDT on top of that explosive. But, Legal blocks it, and instead reverses the move in to a unbelievable Perfect Plex! He's got Tide in that pinning predictament, and the referee makes the count. 1, 2, kick out! Crimson Tide barely kicks out of that move, and both superstars roll to their feet. They share a look from across the ring at each other, and they charge to the center of the ring. They lock up in the middle of the ring. Legal throws a knee in Tide's mid-section, and stomps him momentarily. Justice Legal goes for a Tilt-a-whirl slam. But, he can't get Tide off the ground. Instead Tide pokes him in the eye, and manages to wrap his arm around him lifting him up .. planting him on that high explosive with an Aztec Suplex!!! The explosive goes off, and practically burns up Legal's back!!! The crowd can't believe it, and they mark out with a chant of "Holy shit!"
I don't think these people realized how real this was going to be. Did you hear that noise J.R.? Justice Legal looks out of it ..
Crimson Tide doesn't roll him up for a pin though. Instead he slowly peals Justice Legal off the ground, and walks him over to the barbwire ropes. He lays Legal's back across the barbwire ropes, and wraps his arms backwards in to the barbwire as well. Legal screams out in pain. But, can barely fight back. Crimson Tide insults him, and says a few personal words to him up close. Then Tide starts firing right fists in to Justice Legal's face. That shakes the ring a bit, and causes the barbwire to dig in to Legal's skin more. His arms, and back are caught up in the barbwire ropes. Tide smiles, and yells out at the New York City crowd! He points at Justice Legal, and the crowd POPS for him to do it! Crimson Tide then suddenly just leaps up, and DROPKICKS Legal. That really shakes the barbwire ropes up now, and Legal gets cut up even more. Legal removes his arms from the barbwire, and falls to the mat. His back is black from that explosion, and there's blood trickling all over him. Crimson Tide kicks him one swift time across the face, and then covers him up for a pin. 1, 2, Kick out! Tide smiles, and he's happy the kid can heep this match going. Tide then walks over, and starts setting up another one of those high explosives in the center of the ring. He walks back over to Legal, and goes to pick him up. But, Justice Legal hits him with a Low Blow!! That nut shot drops Crimson Tide to two knees, and then both men are laid out on the canvas. Legal crawls for the corner, and Crimson Tide crawls for the ropes. Tide starts using the barbwire ropes to actually pick himself off the ground. Legal is getting to his feet in the corner. Tide doesn't hesitate, and charges for a Body Splash-- but, Legal sticks a FOOT up in his grill!! That stiff boot shot causes Crimson Tide to drop to a knee. Justice Legal mounts the top turnbuckle, and throws his hands up in an 'X' formation. The crowd boo's him for that, and as Tide gets off the mat that's when Legal jumps off nailing him with an Axe Handle Smash!! That takes Tide off his feet, and Legal sees his moment to make the cover. 1, 2, kick out!
My god. Look at Legal's black. It's nearly burnt to a crisp in that one area, and his arms have blood dripping down them.
He took a beating J.R. But, he didn't quit. One low blow later, and he's right back in this thing ..
Justice Legal scoops Tide up, and Bodyslams him back to the canvas! He then looks towards the corner, and mounts the top turnbuckle again. He looks at his own fist, and he stares down at Tide laying on the mat.
He looks like he's about to take a page from YOUR book King.
With that Justice Legal leaps off, and drops a solid FIST across Crimson Tide's forehead. He then covers him up again, and gets the 1, 2, kick out!! The fans are happy to see this one keep going. Justice Legal then stares over at the high explosive in the middle of the ring. He picks Crimson Tide off the ground, and slings him over his shoulder. It looks like he might for for a Running Powerslam on that explosive! But, Tide wiggles out. Legal turns, and is kicked in the gut. Tide then goes for a Piledriver. But, Legal wiggles his head out of there, and fires a few open hands at Tide. Finally Tide ducks one of Legal's haymakers, and spins him around lifting him up for an Atomic Drop! Legal goes hopping around the ring grabbing his rear end. While Tide comes out of nowhere, and smashes him with a sick Clothesline! Tide then covers him up, and gets the 1, 2, kick out! Tide doesn't stop there, and he picks Legal off the mat. He goes to irish whip him towards the barbwire ropes. But, Legal reverses it, and now Tide gets his back laid out across those barbwire ropes. He immediately lets out a yell in agony! As the barbwire digs in his back. Legal walks over, and begins throwing knees at his stomach. He pushes Tide back even harder against the barbwire, and it pierces his skin even more. Legal forces Tide against the barbwire ropes, and raises his arm -- KARATE CHOPPING him across the chest! Tide gets his arms untangled from that barbwire, and it looks like he wants to fall to a knee in pain. But, Legal picks him back up, and sets his back against the barbwire ropes again. Legal this time pulls his arm back for an old fashioned "Nature Boy" chop across the chest, "WOOOOO!" .. He does it again, "WOOOOO!". He goes for a 3rd, and final hard chop across Tide's bare chest "WOOOOOOOOO!" The crowd then starts boo'ing Justice Legal immediately. As he taunts the XWF fans gathered in Madison Square Garden. He gets up in Tide's face, and Tide swings hard at him-- but, he misses his mark. Legal ducks that right hand, and kicks Tide in the knee. He then places Tide between his legs, and he lifts him up in the air. Justice Legal then DROPS Crimson Tide with a Powerbomb just barely missing that explosive. Justice Legal wastes no time, and covers Tide up for the 1, 2, kick out!!
He kicks out, and I mean BARELY.
Justice Legal thought he had him. These people thought he had them. They are alll on their feet, and this arena is livid right now!!!
Legal argues with the ref a second, and then goes back to work on Tide. He goes to lift him up for a Chokeslam, and attempts to drop him on that high explosive. But, Tide blocks it, and kicks Legal in the shin. He then goes for a DDT on that explosive. But, Legal breaks out of that, and Clothesline Tide to the canvas! Legal begins stomping away at him, and tries to plan his next move. Legal scoops Tide off the mat, and Bodyslams him right back to the canvas! He then begins mounting the top turnbuckle, and he goes for a Big Leg drop from the top rope. But, Tide sticks a BOOT in his face!! That shot drops Legal, and both men are laid out now. The crowd is buzzing, and trying to encourage Tide to get to his feet first. Tide is crawling for the barbwire ropes, and starts pulling himself up. Legal is near the barbwire ropes now, and tries lifting himself up but he cuts his hand up trying to use the barbwire as leverage to get to his feet. He struggles to get up, and Tide comes up from behind. He places Legal's face on the bottom barbwire rope, and starts raking his face across it. Legal tries to fight back. But, Tide kicks him in the spine, and places his neck on the bottom barbwire rope. As Tide steps on Legal's back, and uses the top barbwire rope as leverage to grab on to.
Tide's just pressing Legal's neck harder against that barbwire, and sacraficing his own blood to do it. Tide is in pain, and he's causing Legal a much greater deal of pain however.
Tide finally breaks away from Legal, and he looks like he is ready to put this one away. Legal manages to stagger to his feet, and before he could turn around to face him- Crimson Tide simply lays him out with a Zig Zag!! Justice Legal's head bounces off the canvas, and the crowd marks out hard for him!!! Tide looks around, and drags Legal by the legs to the center of the ring. This is it for Tide he has had enough, and decides to start mounting the top turnbuckle. He doesn't make any kind of symbol with his arms. Crimson Tide simply leaps off, and connects with his Frogsplash finisher known as the "HIGH TIDE"!! He lands that big move, and he wraps Justice Legal's leg up for the 1, ...
......2 ... ....
.. .
... kick out!!
The crowd is in shock. Tide thought he had him done with that High Tide finisher but Legal kicks out! Crimson Tide paces around the ring, and the XWF fans are stirring out there right now. Tide looks over at that high explosive on the ground, and an evil smirk creeps over his face. He slowly picks Justice Legal off the mat, and tries dragging him over to the corner. Legal breaks away from Tide trying to drag him to the corner, and kicks Tide in gut!! Legal then out of nowhere sets Tide up for, and delivers the Justice Hammer!! That finisher rocks the ring, and the entire arena. Justice Legal crawls over, and lays with his back on Crimson Tide.
.. ..... 1........
...... ..... 2........ ..
... .. ..
.... KICK OUT!!
Ahh! Tide kicks out of the Justice Hammer.
Both men kicked out of each other's finisher, and this Madison Square Garden crowd is completely STUNNED.
Slowly, but surely they both get to their feet. The XWF fans are on their feet, and they are watching on intently. These 2 men are putting on a hell of a "Meltdown" pay per view performance. Both men giving it their all, and both men to their feet now. Tide goes for a BIG punch. But, Legal ducks it, and kicks Tide in the gut. Legal then KNEES Tide across the face, and straightens him up quick. Justice Legal then mocks him, and yells in his face before he whips Crimson Tide in to the barbwire ropes again. Tide pretty much gets his arms tangled up in there. Just laid out, and the barbwire is actually holding him up. Justice Legal methodically walks over, and starts punching away. He pulls Tide away from the barbwire ropes, and goes for a DDT on a high-explosive. But, Tide blocks it, and starts firing away punches!! Tide pulls him in for a slow, methodical reverse neckbreaker-- BUT, Justice Legal counters out of it. He kicks Tide in the gut again, and drops him head-first on to that dangerously high-explosive!! It blows up on Tide's skull pretty much, and he is laid out cold. Justice Legal looks around, and quickly scurries to the corner. He hops up on the top turnbuckle. He throws up a quick- X-formation with his arms, and leaps off on to Crimson Tide with his own finisher known as "The High Tide"!! ...
... .... 1. .... ..
. ....... .... 2. . .... ..... .
. ... ...
. ..
... 3!!
Justice Legal wins it!!! Justice Legal has defeated Crimson Tide in his grand return to the squared-circle. What a brutal contest by these 2 men. Displaying their great ability here tonight. What an amazing encounter by 2 very good professionals. They put on such an incredible display here tonight!!
I agree J.R. I think this match has lived up to the hype, and it definitely stole the show here so far tonight!! The XWF fans are boo'ing at the fact that Crimson Tide just lost. But, there is a general mixed reaction in the building right now. There are definitely some Justice Legal supporters, and people who appreciate his hardwork out their in the ring tonight.
He did all he needed to do. It looked like Tide had him defeated earlier. But, it wasn't to be ... what's this now??
Suddenly, from behind the curtains backstage Draven, and the Psycho Clowns come out towards the ring. Those 4 men march down the ramp, and slide on in under the barbwire ropes. The 3 Psycho Clowns stand behind Draven backing him, and they stare out at Justice Legal who is having his arm currently raised by the XWF official. Legal realizes what is happening, and breaks his arm free from the ref. He curls over, and holds his ribs in obvious pain from just delivering that High Tide to Crimson Tide's just seconds ago.
Match Grade: A-, Match Duration: 16 minutes, and 33 seconds, Match Result: Justice Legal via pinfall.
Draven, and the Psycho Clowns stare out at Justice Legal. They then look down at Crimson Tide. Draven orders the Psycho Clowns to do something, and they all start approaching the injured Crimson Tide on the ground. But, Justice Legal steps in between, and the crowd cheers that! Suddenly, the lights go out for a few seconds, and when they come back on Crimson Tide is no longer laying in the ring. It's just Legal facing Draven, and the 3 Psycho Clowns standing behind Draven still.
What is this alll about? What happend to Tide? Where'd he go? Who are these men out here right now, and what's their involvement with Legal? I'm confused.
Draven approaches Justice Legal with a mic in his hand, and he says the following.
Listen here Legal! I told you I'd be coming out for you later.. and well ... here we are ...
They stare each other down hard for a moment, and the crowd isn't sure what to think. Draven actually smiles, and extends his hand. Justice Legal chuckles as he's grasping his ribs with one hand, and extends his hand to shake Draven's. They embrace with somewhat of a hug in the center of the ring, and Justice Legal grabs the mic from him.
Introducing.. the XWF DIFFERENCE MAKERS!!!
The crowd boo's like crazy, and suddenly there's a hooded guy standING at the top of the ramp. Legal points him out, and Draven along with the Psycho Clowns turn to check out who is on the top of the ramp.
Hey you! You've been following me around for weeks, and it's time to reveal yourself!! Take that STUPID hood off, and face your maker ...
Who is it J.R.??
Beats me.
All of a sudden the lights go out, they flicker back on. Legal, and Draven exchange looks before glancing back at the top of the ramp to see the hooded man is no longer standing there. But, Mr. Lucente is now standing at the top of the ramp with a mic of his own in hand. The XWF fans POP, and the crowd is a buzz as the XWF President/Owner stares down at the ring.
Mr. Lucente: WHO the HELL? Who THE HELL do you think you are? I'm MR. Lucente damnit! You want to accuse me .. of being Hawking Ripper... you want ... huh? You want to come out here, and try to run my show. This is MY show damnit! "Meltdown" is MY creation! The XWF belongs to me... not you. You don't make the rules around here. You don't make the matches. I DO! I'm the one with alll the power, and you are just a wrestler who WORKS for ME. So, remember that next time Legal ..
Legal tries to talk back to him. However, it appears that the production crew in the back must've cut his microphone off.
WHAT I tell ya Legal?? I'M the one who's calling the shots around here, ... you want a match against Hawking Ripper?? Well, you'll get it when I SAY you can get it, and if you don't like it... you can QUIT for all I care. I'm not putting up with your shenanigans anymore. In fact... get your asses out of that ring. DRAVEN! You get a rematch against Hellion next week .... ... Legal ... your buddy Hawking Ripper will be going 1-on-1 with Oblivion next Showdown! THAT'S RIGHT. On our special airing of HBO Friday Night Showdown! .. we will have Oblivion vs. Hawking Ripper in a CAGE MATCH!! Oh yeah, and Legal ... if you want to cross paths with Ripper. If you want to get a chance at him. You might be able to get your hands on him in the "King of Xtreme" tournament. But, you won't be facing him in the Qualifying Matches ... because, NEXT Showdown! you will be going 1-on-1 in the first set of qualifying tournament matches ... against RYAN RYDER!! Good luck Legal .. you're going to need it. In FACT you get your ass to my office we have some things to discuss!!!
Mr. Lucente drops the microphone, and leaves the crowd absolutely speechless. He heads to the back, and a lot of people look confused out in that ring right now. Legal is shouting out up the ramp at Mr. Lucente, and then turns directing his attention to Jim Ross. He barks orders at him!
What did I do?
He doesn't like you J.R.
What the HELL did I do?? You want my honest opinion .. the man is a looney ... he needs to be locked up. He stalked, and bothered, and called out Crimson Tide for MONTHS! He finally gets him in a big match, on one of the biggest stages of the year, and he's not satisfied with that? Piss on him.
J.R.?!?
Piss on him. A lot of people have been given less of a chance ... granted .. he's probably upset at what transpired with his buddy Oblivion, and Hawking Ripper the last few weeks. But, GROW UP! Grow up damnit. You're an XWF superstar. People win, and lose alll the time .. it's how you deal with it that makes you a real man, and so far.. this kid is nothing but a cry baby! Even when he wins. He wants everything to be his way. Frankly, I'm tired of this kid.
The scene cuts away from ringside with Legal heading up the ramp discussing things with Draven, and the Psycho Clowns follow close behind.
-------------------
Backstage GM Shawn Taylor is watching the monitor, and suddenly there's a knock at his door. It's new comer Mike Dimter, and he walks right over to his desk.
What is it? What can I do for ya?
Mike Dimter: What can YOU .. do .. for "me"? Well, you can start by telling me who I'll be facing on this oh-so-special Friday night version of Showdown! ...
You want to know who you're facing September 9th on HBO After Dark? Fine. I'll tell you Dimter. You will be squaring off in one of our first sets of Qualifying Matches for the "King of Xtreme" tournament .. you will be 1-of-16 men entered in at your chance at the crown. But, first things first, and you'll be facing GIGANTIS this up coming week!!
Gigantis? That 7'6'' guy? Well, SEEMS fair enough. I'll tell you what boss man. I'm going to handle my buisness on Showdown! .. then I'm going to go on to the pay per view on October 2nd ... in front of alll those people in Phoenix, Arizona, and I'm going to WIN the entire tournament. You are looking at your new 2011 "King of Xtreme". Hahaha. How's that sound?
It sounds like it's time for you to go. I got 2 big matches up next, and I don't have time for this shit .. ..
Mike Dimter looks disturbed by that statement. But, he just shrugs it off, and exits out of the General Manager's office. We hear the fans in Madison Square Garden getting ready for the now #1 contendership match that is up next between Carlos Shotgun vs. Jon Hampton. Who will go on to face the XWF World Champion at our "King of Xtreme" pay per view??? Find out NEXT.
---------------------------
PART 3 -
We cut back to ringside where Carlos Shotgun's theme song hits over the loud speakers, and the people in New York City rise to their feet! There is a certain electricity in the air soon as he steps out from behind the curtains, and makes his way down the ramp. Carlos Shotgun seems to almost have his mind elsewhere as he stares out at the fans in Madison Square Garden.
Jon "The Man" Hampton vs. Carlos Shotgun - Standard Rules match --
And his opponent ... Jon "The Man" Hampton!!!
Hampton comes out to a chorus of boo's as his theme music plays over the P.A. System. He makes his way down the ramp, and he has a microphone in hand.
Jon Hampton: Cut the music! ... You know as well as I do Carlos. That I've been waiting for tonight for a lonnng time. I've been waiting to get you in the ring 1-on-1 for the longest time now. Tonight I finally get my wish, and not only that ... I become the new #1 contender in the process.
Hampton steps on the apron, and looks directly at Shotgun in the ring.
That means I'll be headlining the MAIN EVENT of this year's King of Xtreme pay per view! That means on October 2nd ... I become the XWF World Heavyweight Champion!! It's JUST that SIMPLE.
Jon Hampton smiles at Carlos Shotgun, and starts ducking through the ropes. The bell doesn't even sound yet, and Shotgun pounces on him immediately. Carlos starts pounding on his back, and head. He delivers a vicious chop to Hampton's chest, "WOOOO!" Hampton manages to block the next punch thrown, and counter it by spinning out of that hold - then irish whipping Shotgun towards the ropes. Shotgun bounces back, and ducks a Clothesline attempt by Hampton. That's when Carlos stops in his tracks, and turns to face Hampton. Who is a little late turning around himself, and is met with a solid Dropkick to the face executed by Carlos Shotgun! That hard shot takes Hampton off his feet, and Carlos doesn't let up there. He backs Hampton down in to the corner, and then attempts to irish whip him towards the opposite corner. Hampton's back smashes the corner, and Carlos rushes in -- but, is caught with an ELBOW to the face. Hampton then grabs the back of Shotgun's head, and drops him in the center of the ring with a gruesome Bulldog! The crowd boo's the shit out of Hampton, and give him ton of heat. Hampton doesn't stop there, and lifts Carlos off the ground. Hampton wraps his arms around the lower back of Shotgun, and then lifts him off the ground connecting with a beautiful Belly-to-Back Suplex!! Hampton turns that in to a pinning combination for the 1, 2, kick out!
Close call for Shotgun. He has his work cut out for him tonight looks like.
You think Carlos' mind is elsewhere?? I mean, they just recently had heavy storms, and hurricanes alll lined up the east coast. I also heard his hometown of Puerto Rico got his pretty hard ... not to mention this whole Adkins, and Sasha thing still has to be bothering him. Despite what he's lead us to believe.
Yeah, on top of that. Now, if he wins this match.. he's new #1 contender ... no guaruantee he'll be facing Adkins. But, that's what GM Shawn Taylor's intentions are. To force Shotgun's back against the wall ..
Hampton now forces Shotgun in to the corner, and unloads punches to his stomach. Hampton then hits him with a nice uppercut!! Hampton then places Shotgun on the top turnbuckle, and goes for a Superplex. But, Carlos blocks it, and pushes Hampton off of him. However, Hampton lands on his feet, and runs back up DRILLING Carlos in the head with a hard right hand. Hampton mounts the turnbuckle again, and this time he actually executes the big Superplex!!! That shakes the ring, and the very foundation of the XWF here in Madison Square Garden. Hampton covers Shotgun over for the 2nd time, and a 1, 2, kick out! Hampton wastes no time, and he sizes up Shotgun on the mat. It looks like he's getting ready for a Fameasser. He waits to Carlos starts lifting himself off the canvas, and he goes in for that Fameasser. But, Carlos sidesteps it. Carlos kicks Hampton in the gut, and executes a Russian Legsweep on him!! Shotgun then goes to the corner, and mounts the 2nd turnbuckle. Carlos proceeds to drop a straight elbow on Jon's skull!! Carlos covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! Carlos gets to his feet, and waits for Jon "The Man" Hampton to get to his feet. Then Carlos delivers a solid jab to his face. Hampton goes for a big swing-- but, Carlos ducks it, and pulls Hampton's legs out from underneath him. Shotgun has Hampton where he wants him now, and he turns him over on his stomach. Carlos has the Sharpshooter locked in early, and the crowd marks out for this!!!
Sharpshooter early on! Can Shotgun put him away like this??
Shotgun has it locked on pretty well in the center of the ring. Hampton starts crawling for the ropes, and he gets there! But, Carlos Shotgun refuses to release the hold. The referee counts him off, and pleads with him. The referee warns him it's a Standard Rules match, and he will be Disqualified if he doesn't let go of that submission maneuver. Hampton is yelling out as he cluthes that bottom rope. Shotgun finally releases the hold, and then rolls out of the ring. Carlos walks over to the time keeper's table, and pushes the time keeper off of his chair. Carlos then folds that steel chair up, and eyes Hampton in the ring.
What's he doing?? What's Shotgun doing out here? What buisness does he have with that steel chair?
I think you know what buisness he has with it J.R. ...
Yeah, but he will be DQ'ed if he uses it on him in this type of match.
Carlos rolls in the ring with the steel chair, and the referee pleads him with him to put it down. Jon "The Man" Hampton starts using the ropes to pull himself to his feet. He finally stands up, and turns around-- SMACK!! Carlos Shotgun nails Jon Hampton with that steel chair across the skull, and the referee immediately calls for the bell. Carlos Shotgun has been DQ'ed here, and he doesn't stop when the bell rings. After Hampton falls to the ground, that's when Shotgun starts whailing on him with that steel chair. He beats on him for a few seconds, and officials have to rush out to break it up. Carlos swings the chair at them, and Security tries to come out to stop him as well. Shotgun gives another swift chair shot to the back of Hampton, and then tosses the steel chair to the ground. He exits the ring on his own power, and he pushes passed any officials who try to stop him from leaving up the ramp. The Madison Square Garden crowd is very confused. They didn't see this coming tonight at "Meltdown!" But, now it will be Jon Hampton the new #1 contender going on to Main Event our "King of Xtreme" pay per view on October 2nd--against the man who walks out XWF World Champion tonight. As Hampton tries to recover on the canvas, and the referee gives the official word.
Match Grade: D, Match Duration: 5 minutes, and 18 seconds, Match Result: Jon Hampton via Disqualification.
We cut backstage, and Mark Adkins is watching the monitor with Sasha Shotgun by his side. Adkins is left scratching his head, and looking over at Sasha in disbelief. He can't understand why Carlos Shotgun threw this opportunity away at being #1 contender. It doesn't make sense to him, and now Adkins grabs his belt of a nearby table. He slings the XWF World Title over his shoulder, and he starts heading for the ring.
-------------------------------
We cut backstage where Mitch Keller is standing by with Xavier Phoenix, and his new valet Number 8 over his shoulder.
Mitch Keller: Tonight Xavier Phoenix you will be going 1-on-1 against "TV_MA" Mark Adkins for the XWF World Championship.. for the very first time in your career you are THIS close to being an XWF World Champion. How does it feel??
Xavier Phoenix: You know .. actually .. the last time I had a chance to become XWF World Champion .. was back at Xtreme Battle Zone in my own hometown. Now, that night Hampton got in my way, and Adkins walked out the XWF World Champion ... well, he didn't escape the night with the title ... but, he inevitably won the match. So, now .. all these months later, and it was Hampton who stood in my way again. But, this time I got the best of that veteran. Now, if I win tonight.. it looks like I'll be headlining against him at "King of Xtreme". We could duke it out, and show these people what we're capable of. But, first things first... and I must conquer what is ahead of me tonight! You see .. this time .... I'm walking out XWF World Champion. This time I'm going to be the one who wins this title, and it'll be Adkins on the short end of the stick ..... I'm tired of playing Mr. Nice Guy. I'm tired of being everyone's best friend. I deserve to be here. I deserve to be the MAIN EVENT at a Madison Square Garden event!! I waited my whole life for this moment, and I will be walking out your new XWF World Heavyweight Champion. By the way Adkins .. there's not a damn thing you could do about it!
Phoenix grabs Number 8 by the arm, and he walks out of sight. As we cut back to ringside for the final match of the night. This MAIN EVENT will be the conclusion to this summer ending pay per view known as "Meltdown!"
We cut back to ringside, and we get ready for this huge matchup to take place.
This is about to be a BIG, BIG match J.R. ...
MAIN EVENT --
"TV MA" Mark Adkins (c) vs. Xavier Phoenix - XWF World Heavyweight Championship on-the-line --
Xavier Phoenix makes his way out to his theme song first, and he has Number 8 by his side. The fans let out a decent reaction for the young, up-and-coming superstar as he plays to the crowd a bit before sliding in the ring. Number 8 walks up the steps, and poses behind him as they get the crowd ready for some action here tonight in Madison Square Garden. Next the "TV_MA" logo appears on the titan tron, and out comes the XWF World Heavyweight Champion. "TV_MA" Mark Adkins has his new chick Sasha Shotgun by his side, and they make their way down the ramp. The XWF crowd is loving it!! They can not wait to see Adkins in some heated action tonight against a fierce rival of his.
Adkins, and Phoenix have some bad blood.. dating all the way back to late June ... when Adkins cost Phoenix the #1 contender spot at the time .... then Adkins tried to screw him again in this past week's Battle Royale ..
You think Adkins just has it out for Phoenix? Or is he generally worried about getting in the ring with him??
Beats me at this point.
Adkins, and Sasha eventually get to the ring. Adkins hands the belt over to the referee, and then he gets face-to-face with Phoenix in the center of the squared circle. The referee tells them that it's an Xtreme Rules match, and then he calls for the BELL to begin this match. Both superstars back up from each other, and begin circling each other up. You could feel it in the atmosphere tonight. These people are soo ready dor this main event to take place. They've been waiting allll night just to see how "Meltdown" would break down, and now this is the last match of the card. They circle each other up a few seconds, and then they lock up in the center of the ring. Adkins gets the early advantage, and rolls behind Phoenix wrapping his arms tight around him. Phoenix works his way out of it, and spins behind Adkins now. But, Adkins manages to work Phoenix in to a sideheadlock. However, Phoenix shoves Adkins towards the ropes, and he bounces back in to a stiff Shoulderblock from Phoenix! That shot takes Adkins down, and Phoenix heads for the ropes himself. He bounces back, and Adkins hits the canvas. Phoenix hurdles him, and keeps bouncing off the ropes. When he bounces back this time Adkins goes to leap him, and Phoenix hits the brakes. So, when Adkins lands on his feet-- then Xavier Phoenix drills him with a brilliant Dropkick!! That shot sends Adkins flying nearly out of the ring, and he rolls out of the ring for good measure. Adkins is trying to recover, and Sasha is tending to him. But, Phoenix doesn't hesitate, and sprints towards the ropes. He bounces back, and heads right towards the side Adkins is on. Phoenix LEAPS up on the top rope, and then does a Spinning Corkscrew through the air!! He ends up tackling Adkins on the outside, and almost taking Sasha down with him.
Ahh! He nearly took Sasha down too!!!
He was verry close in almost knocking her completely out. But, he found his mark, and he knocks Mark Adkins back in to that outside barricade.
Both men down for a second but Phoenix is up first, and he starts putting the boots to Adkins on the outside. Phoenix then picks Adkins up off the mat, and sends him flying back-first in to the steel steps! That shot ROCKS the stadium, and Phoenix stays on the offensive. Sasha tries to yell at him, and get him to stop. But, Phoenix isn't paying her any attention. Instead he grabs Adkins by the hair, and rolls him in the ring. Phoenix then starts getting up on the apron, and looks like he might want to do a High Flying move in to the ring. But, Sasha grabs his foot. Phoenix tries to wiggle free. However, Adkins now gets to his feet, and grabs Phoenix by the head. Adkins looks like he wants to Suplex him in the ring. Phoenix has other plans however, and he knees Adkins in the gut-- following that up with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!! He turns that in to a pinning combination, and the 1, 2, kick out!! Adkins rolls out of there, and before he can exit the ring. Phoenix grabs him by the back of the trunks, and then pulls him up off the ground by the hair. Adkins punches Phoenix in the gut, and another punch to the mid-section. Adkins tries to run away but Phoenix still has a handful of hair, and Adkins gets pulled right back in to a Falling Inverted DDT!! Phoenix makes the cover again, and the 1, 2, kick out!!
Nice well executed Reverse DDT by Phoenix, and he almost puts Adkins away with that move!
Phoenix then wears Adkins down on the mat with a headlock of some sort, and begins really applying pressure on his neck. He is trying to get Adkins to tap out, or possibly pass out here. But, Adkins manages to get his foot on the rope, and Phoenix has to release the hold. Xavier Phoenix stands up, and starts kicking awat at Mark's back. He then lifts him off the mat, and forces him back towards the ropes. Phoenix irish whips Adkins across the ring, and Adkins bounces back ducking a hard right hand. Adkins bounces off the ropes again, and comes back with a Flying Shoulderblock of his own!! That shot knocks Phoenix off his feet, and Adkins quickly crawls over for the 1, 2, kick out! Adkins rolls to the outside apron, and then finally goes to the outside mat again. Adkins begins walking around the ring, and is debating his next move. Phoenix stands to his feet in the ring, and calls Adkins on!! Adkins goes to slide in, and Phoenix goes to attack so Adkins hops back. Adkins then walks over to the Time Keeper's table, and grabs his belt. He starts walking away with the XWF World Title, and Phoenix can't believe it. Xavier Phoenix is arguing with the referee as Adkins, and Sasha start making their way up the ramp.
Where is Adkins going???
Adkins makes his way up the ramp, and Phoenix gives chase. The camera follows Phoenix all the way through the curtain, and in to the backstage area. Phoenix chases Adkins down from behind, and spins him around-- PUNCHING him square in the face! Adkins stumbles backwards to the cement, and drops his title on the ground. Sasha Shotgun picks the belt up, and Phoenix begins stomping away at Adkins. He then mounts Adkins on the cement, and starts punching away at him. Sasha tries prying Phoenix off, and eventually he gets up on his own. He then picks Adkins up by the hair, and begins walking with him back to the ring. Practically dragging him back down the ramp, and the fans are loving this moment right now!! The people jam packed in Madison Square Garden mark out hard for this!! As Phoenix walks Adkins alll the way down the ramp, and slides him back in the ring. Phoenix goes to pull himself up on the outside apron, and soon as he does Adkins launches forward with a Spear through the ropes! That Spear knocks Phoenix off the apron, and Adkins falls back to the canvas for a moment. Both superstars are laid out, and Sasha makes her way down the ramp with the XWF World Title in her hands. She jogs down the ramp, and with the referee not paying attention-- she CLOCKS Phoenix in the back of the head as soon as he gets to his feet. That title shot to the back of the head knocks Phoenix out cold. Number 8 just sees what happens, and she gets up on the outside apron pleading with the referee. Sasha then tries her best lifting Xavier Phoenix up, and rolling him back in the ring. Mark Adkins crawls over, and places an arm on him for the 1, 2, kick out!!
GREAT kick out by Phoenix, and you could tell by this crowd's reaction .. they want this match to keep going. They want to see a legitimate XWF World Title match.
Adkins gets to his feet, and drags Phoenix to the center of the ring by his legs. Then Adkins actually turns Phoenix over, and places him in a old fashioned Boston Crab!! He works on his legs, and wears the young superstar out. Phoenix crawls for the ropes. But, Adkins drags him back to the center, and leans back more on him. Adkins is applying a lot of pressure to the lower back, and legs of Phoenix. But, Phoenix crawls for the ropes, and gets there. Adkins much like Shotgun earlier is refusing to let go. So, suddenly Number 8 comes in the ring, and SLAPS Adkins across the face!! The referee starts walking her back, and says she can't do that. But, that prompts Adkins to release the submission hold, and walk over to Number 8 as well. He laughs sadistically at her, and says some personal things about her relationship with Xavier Phoenix. But, Sasha is also furious at what just happend, and soon as she steps to the outside apron. Sasha is there waiting for her, and she gives chase in her high heels. Sasha is chasing Number 8 around the ring, and Adkins directs his attention back towards Phoenix.
We got a circus of some sort out here J.R. I can't keep track anymore! Why are these ladies out here in the first place?? I thought this was an XWF World Title main event??
Adkins goes to pick Phoenix off the ground, and instead Phoenix drills him with an uppercut out of nowhere. Followed by a kick to the shin, and then knocks him out with an Enziguri to the back of the skull. Xavier Phoenix covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! Sasha eventually chases Number 8 down on the outside, and those 2 begin a cat fight near the bottom of the ramp. Xavier Phoenix gets to his feet, and picks Adkins up with him. Xavier Phoenix lifts Adkins off the ground, and drops him over his knee with a brutal Backbreaker! Phoenix then sees his moment to mount the top turnbuckle, and looks like he's going for the "Flight of the Phoenix". But, Sasha Shotgun tosses Number 8 in to the barricade, and she gets up on the outside apron. She distracts Phoenix for a couple seconds, and the referee informs her she needs to get off the apron. Adkins springs to his feet, and trips Phoenix up so that his crotch falls right on the post. Adkins then sets him up for, and gets him in position for a Top Rope END ON 5!! Adkins actually manages to pull it off, and sends Phoenix down face-first in to the canvas!!!! The crowd MARKS out BIG TIME for that finishing maneuver, and Adkins goes to cover him up. But, Number 8 pulls Sasha off the apron so that her head bounces off the apron, and then Number 8 pulls on the referee's foot as he's reaching the 2- count.
Number 8 saving her man there momentarily .. after Sasha almost cost him the match ..
That top rope End on 5 should have did it!! Now these ladies are back to cat fighting on the outside, and Adkins is unsure what just happend.
Adkins is looking out at the cat fight that is making it's way to the bottom of the ramp. Those 2 ladies scrap it out, and suddenly GM Shawn Taylor appears from the top of the ramp. He rushes down towards the ring with a microphone in hand. As the ladies roll around the ramp, and pull each other's hair.
Hey! That's it. That's enough .. you ladies are BANNED from ringside!!
GM Shawn Taylor rushes down the ramp, and tries to seperate those 2. He manages to get those 2 off the ground, and starts walking back with both of them in each arm. He pulls those 2 women to the back, and the managers are no longer a factor. Adkins was distracted at this whole scene, and when he goes over to pick Xavier Phoenix up-- that's when Phoenix grabs his head, and rolls him up in a school boy pin. For the 1, 2, kick out!! The crowd is livid, and now Adkins rolls to his feet in anger. He goes to start stomping away at Phoenix, and Phoenix just keeps rolling out the way. Finally Adkins is hovering above him about to stomp a boot in his face, and Phoenix grabs his foot. In fact Phoenix manages to stand up with him, and still have a hold of his foot. Adkins goes for an Enziguri of his own. But, Phoenix ducks it, and still has his leg held tight. Phoenix just spreads his leg out to the side, and yells out as he DROPS A BIG LEG on Adkins' inner thigh! Phoenix then immediately turns that move in to a Texas Cloverleaf submission hold, and Adkins is struggling to get to the ropes. He can't break the hold, and Phoenix applies more pressure to get him to tap here.
Phoenix still looks a little lackadasial from taking that top rope End on 5! But, he looks determined to put this one away now.
Adkins eventually reaches the ropes, and Phoenix is hesitant at first to let go. Finally he releases the hold on his own, and rolls back to the center of the ring. Both men are laid out, and both men start getting to their feet around the same time. Phoenix sneaks behind him, and goes for a German Suplex. But, Adkins blocks it, and elbows his way out of it. Adkins takes off towards the ropes, and comes back-- being KNOCKED DOWN by Phoenix throwing a stiff shoulderblock in there. Phoenix takes off to the ropes, and goes for a Lionsault! But, Adkins sticks his knees up, and then tries rolling Phoenix up for a pin. 1, 2, kick out!! The crowd in New York City is growing real anxious as these 2 go back, and fourth all night. Adkins gets back in control, and lifts Phoenix off the ground. He places him in the corner, and delivers a hard chop, "WOOOOOOO!" Adkins delivers another hard chop, "WOOOOOOOO!" He pulls his arm back to deliver another chop. But, Phoenix punches him in the face, and tosses him in the corner instead. Phoenix knees him hard in the stomach, and then grabs the back of Adkins' head. He begins ramming it in to the top turnbuckle over, and over as the crowd counts out loud with him, " ..1 ...2 ...3 ..4 ...5 ..6. ... 7. ..8 .. ..9. .. 10!!" Adkins looks dizzy, and backs up a few feet wobbling around the ring. Phoenix climbs the 2nd turnbuckle, and waits for Adkins to turn around-- jumping over him, and turning it in to a pinning combination. 1, 2, kick out!! Adkins rolls towards the outside apron, and Phoenix doesn't stop. He kicks Adkins in the guts, through the ropes, and then Suplexes him back in the ring. Phoenix goes for another pin, and gets the 1, 2, kick out!! Phoenix starts lifting Adkins off the ground, and Adkins simply gauges his eyes out. Phoenix can't see, and Adkins just drops to a knee. He then rolls out of the ring, and looks like he's had enough. Phoenix rubs his eyes a bit, and when he finally opens them he sees Adkins heading up the ramp again. Phoenix quickly rushes out, and snatches him by the back of the head. He brings him back down the ramp, and SLAMS his head off the top of the barricade! Phoenix then SLAMS his head off the outside steel post, and finally rolls Adkins back in the ring.
This is it. It looks like Phoenix might be setting up for the Drama Club .. ..
Phoenix rolls in the ring, and waits for Adkins to start getting to his feet. When he does Xavier Phoenix rushes in, and goes for that "Drama Club" spinning heel kick. But, Adkins ducks it, and actually rolls Phoenix up for the 1, 2, kick out!!! Adkins rolls to his feet, and Phoenix does as well. Both men eye each other down, and they lock back up in the center of the ring. The crowd seems real excited still, and they are rooting both men on. Phoenix sends Adkins to the ropes, and then bends down to send him over his head for a Back Body Drop. But, Adkins stops, and KICKS Phoenix in the face!! That shot straightens Phoenix up, and Adkins goes for an End on 5!! But, Phoenix shoves him towards the ropes again, and when Adkins turns back to face him-- BOOM!! Xavier Phoenix connects with that signature move known as the DRAMA CLUB!! That shot takes Adkins down, and Xavier Phoenix makes the cover ...
... .... .1. ....... .
. .. ..... .. . . 2.. . ...... ...
. .. ... .
.. foot on the rope!
The crowd is really feeling the energy in the building right now. The XWF fans are alll on their feet in Madison Square Garden. Adkins was almost just put away with that signature move. Phoenix starts slowly lifting Adkins up by the head, and looks like he's going for a Suplex. But, Adkins blocks it for a second, and spins out of it DRILLING Xavier Phoenix with an End on 5 in the center of the ring!!!
THAT'S IT! That might do it . ..
But, Adkins is having a hard time figuring out where he's at. He's no where near Phoenix yet, and the crowd is stirring. Adkins starts crawling for Phoenix, and places an arm over his chest.

Xavier Phoenix survives, and the crowd is estatic!!
Madison Square Garden is loving this main event right here. Phoenix, and Adkins both laid out on the mat. The XWF World Heavyweight Title is on the line, and who will pick up the victory??
Both men roll to opposite ends of the ring. Adkins starts pulling himself up on the ropes, and Phoenix uses the corner as leverage. He lays with his back in the corner, and Adkins gets all the way to his feet. Adkins spots Phoenix in the corner, and rushes in at him. But, Phoenix finds the strength to actually leap over Adkins, and turn it in to a pinning combo. But, then Phoenix rolls out of it, and instead KICKS Adkins hard across the chest! Phoenix backs up to the ropes, and he looks to be going for the "Drama Club" again. But, HERE COMES Sasha Shotgun yet again ...
What is she doing out here again? I thought she was banned from ringside?
Phoenix sees her, and as she gets up on the outside apron. That causes Phoenix to get up in her face, and demand she takes her ass to the BACK! Suddenly, Adkins starts stirring on the canvas behind him, and the crowd is on their feet anticipating the next move. Adkins gets to his feet, and as Phoenix turns around-- Adkins charges for a hard right forearm shot! But, Phoenix ducks out the way, and Adkins nearly drills Sasha across the face. Instead he stops himself, and when he turns back to face Phoenix -- that's when Xavier Phoenix goes for a Drama Club!! However, Adkins moves out the way just in time, and instead Phoenix manages to CLIP Sasha across the face with his boot! That knocks Sasha Shotgun off the apron, and she looks to be pretty hurt from that kick. Adkins doesn't care though, and as Phoenix gets to his feet to inspect what he just did-- he turns around, and walks right in to an End on 5!!! "TV_MA" Mark Adkins plants Xavier Phoenix with his finisher in the middle of the ring, and covers him up for the pin ..

The crowd could almost not believe it, and Adkins face tells the whole story. His jaw is dropped, and his eyes are wide open. He can't believe what just happend here. He scratches his head, and he stares around the ring like he's looking for the answer.
Adkins should've had him there J.R. Nobody kicks out of the End on 5!
Mark Adkins is real confused now, and debates going up top for the Lakeshore Drive. But, as he starts climbing the turnbuckles. He realize that's not a great idea, and instead he stalks Phoenix on the mat. He is sizing Phoenix up, and as Phoenix rolls to a knee. That's when Adkins has had enough, and picks him up by the hair. He sets him up for it, and goes for another End on 5. But, Phoenix shoves him away again, and when Adkins turns around -- Phoenix goes for the Drama Club again!! But, Adkins ducks it, and when he spins to face Phoenix-- THIS TIME it's Xavier Phoenix hitting him with a Superkick to the jaw!!! That stiff kick to the face just happens to lay Adkins out, and Phoenix is trying to recover on the mat now. Out of nowhere as the crowd is buzzing -- Xavier Phoenix manages to nip up. Xavier Phoenix is on his feet now, and he looks down at "TV_MA" Mark Adkins laying on the canvas. He is in perfect position to go up top for his finisher known as the "Flight of the Phoenix". Xavier Phoenix shakes out the cobwebs, and hops up on to the top turnbuckle. The XWF fans in Madison Square Garden are getting ready for this finishing maneuver, and he raises his arms high in the air to signal for the end. Xavier Phoenix then performs the "FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX" .. but, Adkins rolls out of the way!!! Xavier Phoenix catches a stiff mat, and both men are laid out cold for a moment. Adkins starts crawling over, and he hooks the leg on Phoenix.
