The crowd cheers this. Though some are boo'ing The Ray.
Jerry Lawler: Well, normally I wouldn't do this, and JR might not think it's in my best interest. But, I never back down from a challenge.. especially from some NARK like you! You're ON. Inferno match it is ...
The Ray smiles, and exits the ring. As he finally got what he wanted! We then cut backstage.
Backstage Mike Dimter is standing around with his faction Genesis. When Mitch Keller approaches him.
Mike Dimter: Before you say anything Mitch. "Due to injuries suffered".. I obviously can't compete tonight. What I suggest is my friend Xavier Star will debut in my place now.
Mitch Keller: I understand that. Taylor agreed earlier tonight to make this exception ONE TIME. But, at the pay per view he's already decided on a match for you ... it'll be you Mike Dimter, and the Wreckin' Crew.. squaring off in a 3-on-3 ELIMINATION STYLE match against the 3 men who injured you at KOX. I'm talking about Tyroneus Del Rio, Gigantis, and Cliff Saxton .....
Dimter looks shocked, and put off by that statement.
Well, why not team me with Mike, and Jason Blade? Or get Xavier Star on the team somehow? Who's the Wreckin Crew anyway??
Listen. I'm not sure why Taylor did what he did. But, he's the one who signs the matches, and I was informed it going to be a 3-on-3 ELIMINATION STYLE match.. with those participants that I just mentioned.... good luck to you Dimter..
Dimter is discussing that information he just received with his group The Genesis as we cut away.
-----------------
Backstage we have Hawking Ripper standing by with Flo Stanley.
Hawking Ripper: I already know that I'm the people's 'King of Xtreme'. Nothing else matters! By letting Dimter have one of his goons replace him in tonight's matchup.. is just PROOF this company is going down the shitter! No clue how to handle it's top talent. They better be careful. They might lose me if this keeps up. Then where will all the fans go?
Ripper looks down at Flo Stanley, and smirks at her as the scene fades out.
Hawking Ripper vs. Xavier Star (filling in for injured Mike Dimter) - Xtreme Rules -
Xavier Star was introduced first, and he didn't get much of a reaction from the crowd. However, when Hawking Ripper is introduced the people in Knoxville, Tennessee go nuts!! Hawking Ripper makes his way down the ring. Those 2 get in the ring, and the ref explains the rules to them. The bell sounds!! Those 2 lock up, and Ripper wins the early battle of strength. He works Star back in to the corner, and delivers a hard chop!! "Woooo!" Hawking Ripper remains in control for most of the start of this match. Beating on him in the corner. Wearing him down on the mat! The crowd is in full support of Ripper as he Bodyslams this new guy Xavier Star, and covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out!
Hawking Ripper goes to lift Xavier Star up, and he scratches his eyes! Star kicks him in the gut, and plants Ripper with a Swinging Neckbreaker!! He covers him up for the 1, 2, kick out! Xavier Star then picks Ripper up, and hits him with a Snap Suplex! He then goes to mount the top turnbuckle. Xavier Star waits for Ripper to turn around, and he goes for an Ax Handle Smash!! But, Ripper catches him, and instead lays him out with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex!! Hawking Ripper covers him up for the 1, 2, foot on the rope! The crowd is cheering as Ripper goes back to work on Star. He whips him to the ropes, and does a Lou Thesz Press!!! He starts pounding away on Xavier Star's face, and the ref counts him off. Ripper gets off on his own, and sizes Xavier Star up. Ripper goes for a haymaker! But, Xavier Star ducks it, and bounces off the ropes on his own. He comes back, and goes for his signature big boot to the face!! However, Hawking Ripper ducks that Shining Star attempt!!
Almost had him with that one!!
Hawking Ripper then bends down, and trips Xavier Star's legs up from underneath him. He then turns him over, and mounts his back. Ripper's got him in that elevated Boston Crab known as "The Puzzle". It only takes a few seconds for Xavier Star to realize he's trapped, and he finally taps out!!! Hawking Ripper has defeated Xavier Star in his debut match, and the crowd is real excited about that! Ripper doesn't celebrate, or even raise his hands in victory. He simply rolls out of the ring, and heads backwards up the ramp staring out at Xavier Star as he slowly gets to his knees. Xavier Star isn't happy he lost as we cut away from ringside, and send it backstage.
Match Grade: B, Match Duration: 7 minutes, and 2 seconds, Match Result: Hawking Ripper via submission.
ReArrangers backstage, and they are having a private convo with Heather Black. When the Wreckin Crew burst in!!
Brutality: What you guy did to Flip Johnson after his 2nd round KOX match was unacceptable!
Dark Stranger: You better watch who you're talking to! I don't have to take this ..
Let me guess? My soul is your's right? Well, you're wrong. My soul.. belongs.. to only ONE MAN, and that man is above smiling down on me right now. Boy! I'm going to whip your ass out in that ring, and prove you ain't worth shit!! Lets go Flip! ...
Ryan Ryder glances up at The Dark Stranger and he looks really upset at those comments by Brutality.
---------------
Mr. Lucente shown arrivng to the arena in a limo, and he looks shook up. He has a neckbrace on, and a black eye.
The ReArrangers vs. Wreckin' Crew - #1 Contenders Match -
ReArrangers are out first, and they get a decent reaction from the crowd. The Wreckin' Crew comes out to a nice ovation from the XWF fans here in Knoxville!! They get to the ring, and Brutality decides to start it off first for his team. The Dark Stranger starts it off early for his tag team. They battle it out pretty well. Both men exchanging some nice shots, and inside knees to the other man! They are both trying to win the battle of strength, and power! Early on The Dark Stranger has him worked back in the corner. But, Brutality fights his way out of it, and sends Dark Stranger across the ring with a very nice Aztec Suplex! They both then make their tags, and here comes Flip Johnson! Ryan Ryder gets in the ring, and he is stalled in the center of the ring by a few nice blows from Flip Johnson!! The crowd is going bizerk as these 2 were just in the FIRST ROUND of the King of Xtreme tournament against each other. Ryan Ryder looks sore with a huge bandage around his rib cage. Flip immediately goes to work on that. Dropping Ryder with a mean Back Breaker!! Flip Johnson goes for the first cover, and 1, 2, kick out!! Flip stays in control of Ryan Ryder for awhile. Flip drops him with an Atomic Drop, and makes the cover. 1, 2, foot on the rope! Flip goes to pull Ryder up, and he hits him with a Low Blow!!
Oh. Low Blow! Low Blow, and the referee didn't see it.
The ref did not see it, and now Ryder gets up slapping Brutality across the face!! That angers "Brute", and he tries to get in the ring now to attack. But, the ref holds him back. Suddenly, The Dark Stranger levels Flip Johnson with a boot to the face when the ref's not looking!!! Brutality is still being held back by ref when he tries to rush in. Dark Stranger hops out of the ring, and walks over to where Brutality is at. Then Dark Stranger, and Brutality battle it on the outside.. as Ryan Ryder gives Flip Johnson the Ryde or Die finisher in the center of the ring!! Nobody is there to break it up, and he hooks the leg for the 1, 2, 3!!!
Ryan Ryder sneaks away with one for his tag team, and now suddenly they are the new #1 contenders for the Tag Team Titles. Brutality rolls back in the ring to attack Ryan Ryder. But, he gets out of there right away!! Brutality comes to the aid of his tag team partner, and he glances up at the ReArrangers exiting up the ramp.
Match Grade: C-, Match Duration: 4 minutes, and 18 seconds, Match Result: ReArrangers via pinfall.
Mr. Lucente is backstage with Bob Levy.
Mr. Lucente: I just want to start off by saying... that action will take place for Adkins laying his hand on the XWF General Manager Shawn Taylor! Secondly, ..
Suddenly, Justice Legal is out in the ring CALLING OUT LUCENTE on the mic!! Mr. Lucente sees the monitors, and goes crazy. He can't believe he's here, and rushes out to stop him. Mr. Lucente gets out from behind the curtains, and stands out at the top of the ramp.
Mr. Lucente: CUT IT OUT! Right now! You aren't even suppose to be here. You're BANNED. How did you even get in my arena? Nevermind.. SECURITY.. remove that man! ..
Justice Legal: I knew you were gutless. I knew you didn't have the BALLS to face him like a man!
Mr. Lucente: You think so?
Mr. Lucente struts down the ramp, and the Security Guards surround Legal. They're about 12 deep surrounding him. Mr. Lucente walks right up in his face, and looks him right in the eyes.
Mr. Lucente: NOW WHAT?
Justice Legal: I want a match! And I want a match against you TONIGHT!!
The crowd pops a bit!
Mr. Lucente: Did Crimson Tide put you up to this? What's the deal with you, and the D.O.D. anyway?
Justice Legal: No! Tide might mentor me, and help me with my everyday struggles... but, this was my own idea... time to shut you up for good! It's obvious I haven't earned your respect around here. The best way to do it! Is to BEAT some SENSE in to you!!
Mr. Lucente: You're not going to get that chance. I'm not a wrestler.. I won't wrestle you tonight. What's with you wrestlers calling out people not on the roster... first Jerry Lawler, and now this?!?
Justice Legal: Face me at Obscured then! FACE ME.
Mr. Lucente: I think we're done here..
The XWF Owner/President Mr. Lucente walks away, and security goes to handcuff Legal. But, he knocks 3 of them down, and spare tackles a few others. He snatches the mic, and rolls out of the ring. He makes his way back thru the crowd, and still talks shit.
Justice Legal: GIVE ME A MATCH at Obscured against ANY OPPONENT OF YOUR CHOOSING!! And if I beat that man .. I get my match against you at any major pay per view of my choosing!!
Mr. Lucente smiles.
Mr. Lucente: Is that what you want? Alright! If you beat an opponent of my choosen... then fine.. you get me in a match! But, if YOU LOSE now. If you lose against an opponent of my choosing. Then.. Justice Legal.. you're FIRED!!
The crowd cheers that!!!
Mr. Lucente: By the way .. I already decided on that opponent. You will go one-on-one.. with Hawking Ripper.. in an NO DQ, No countout match.... at Obscured!! You beat him. You get me!
Justice Legal: No DQ, No Countout huh? Alright, well of course you know Mr. Lucente.. since you agreed to it... "Pain is Justice, and it's Legal!!"
Mr. Lucente walks out through the curtains, and Justice Legal exits through the crowd.
-------------------
(Footage scrambles on the screen. Static at first, and then we go to this small little video that appears to be taped earlier in the day at 3:57 PM on someone's cell phone.)
We have the S.O.S getting ready to go out there for this XWF Tag Title main event. They say, stick to the plan, alright? Then GM Shawn Taylor walks up, and asks them about who the new 5th member is? Knighthawk says wasn't it obvious by watching the end of King of Xtreme?? Shawn Taylor seems confused, and says no. William Knighthawk says "We shouldn't even worry about that .. we should focus on the greatest thing to ever happen to the XWF in years.. the Xtreme Champion!! By the way. Stephen Blood is lucky he high-tailed it out of there after he blindsided me with that cheap shot! Because, I would have put him Out of His Misery!!" Shawn Taylor says, "I know. I know how you feel. Never could stand that guy. But, anyway ... I just want to say. From the bottom of my heart. It's been a pleasure!! A real joy working with you." Knighthawk says, "Don't sweat it. You've pulled a lot of strings for us along the way as well..." Taylor replies, "Well, good doing buisness with you guys.."
They shake hands unbeknownst to anyone else in the XWF locker room, and they go about their seperate ways.
That was EARLIER tonight.
-----------------
Hawking Ripper is shown exiting the building towards the parking lot. When he's stopped by Bob Levy.
Hawking Ripper: .. it's really an injustice. If Dimter, or anyone feels the same way I do. That S.O.S. didn't deserve to come out on top at King of Xtreme!! It was bullshit, and now this ? A match versus Justice Legal finally. With the stipulation if he wins he gets Lucente in a match? Hell, if I win.. I'm the one who should get Lucente in a match! Better yet. Put him in a cage, and suspend him above the rafters. Then, and ONLY then will I accept this type of outrageous matchup! My contract calls for it ... I have creative control now... so they WILL listen to me, or there will be HELL to pay!! Then again. The idea of my arch nemesis being fired at my hands.. really does make my balls tingle a bit.
Bob Levy: So what are you trying to say??
Hawking Ripper: I'm saying, I'll see Legal at Obscured!!
The scene ends as we cut to the ringside area.
William Knighthawk & Tyroneus Del Rio (ttc) vs. Gigantis & Cliff Saxton - Tag Team Title match -
The challengers are out first, and out comes the tag team champions. Tyroneus Del Rio is walking ahead of his tag team partner William Knighthawk. They both have the tag team belts with them, and now William Knighthawk also has the Xtreme Title around his waist as he makes his way down the ramp. They get in the ring, and all 4 men have a council in the center of the ring. They disperse, and Gigantis decides to start it off versus Tyroneus Del Rio! The ref calls for the bell, and Del Rio pokes Gigantis who falls to the mat all on his own. Tyroneus Del Rio then makes the cover, and the referee is reluctant at first. But, he gets down, and makes the 1, 2, 3!!
Match Grade: F, Match Duration: 10 seconds, Match Result: Willaim Knighthawk & Tyroneus Del Rio via pinfall.
Suddenly, Mr. Lucente's theme music hits, and the people rise to their feet. He comes out with a mic in hand on the top of the stage, and he looks hell bent on making some noise tonight!
Mr. Lucente: Listen up! I made my point clear!! It's time to restore order around the XWF hallways!! So, as of tonight.. I have done the falling... I have SUSPENDED MARK ADKINS FOR 45 DAYS!!
The fans boo the crap out of the XWF Owner/President for that one!!
Mr. Lucente: Boo me all you want! We had a new strict rule in Adkins', and Knighthawk's contracts to NOT strike anyone affiliated with either the Xtreme Champ, or the XWF World Champion. Since he beat up on Shawn Taylor earlier, and it's been discovered that Taylor was associated with Knighthawk. Now... Adkins must face the consequences!! Not to mention that Shawn Taylor is also our General Manager. But, with that said.. Adkins has been punished, and he won't be on XWF television for another 45 days!!! So, deal with it ..
The crowd is wreckless! They give Mr. Lucente a lot of heat, and they begin a chant of "TV_MA!" "TV_MA"!! "TV_MA"!!!
Mr. Lucente: Doesn't matter. You could chant that all you want. He won't hear you. He's already boarding his next flight back to Chicago ... ..
BooOooOOooooOOOOOOOOooo!!
Mr. Lucente: Everyone has their own opinion. Also, .. you already know of the match signed at Obscured between Ripper, and Legal ... I've also decided to sign Ryan Ryder versus Xavier Star ... we will see the debut of Mike Blade and Jason Blade versus Yarmouth Blade and Hellion .. a few other matches as well... none bigger than ... .. the new main event for Obscured now!! For the first time ever. William Knighthawk will defend the Xtreme Title against .. well, ... The F'N Legend STEPHEN BLOOD!!!
Jim Ross: I can't believe it King!
Jerry Lawler: Neither can I . .. did he really just say what I think he did? I feel like I'm dreaming J.R.
Jim Ross: No, he said William Knighthawk vs. Stephen Blood at our next pay per view Obscured.. in the main event King!
Suddenly, Stephen Blood's music hits, and he makes his way out to the top of the ramp next to Mr. Lucente. The entire Skeletons of Society stable watches on from the ring as this is all going on.
Stephen Blood: Hey! Knighthawk!! The self proclaimed "Dark Prince" ... let me reintroduce myself incase you don't know. Because, I damn sure know that all these people remember who I am!! The name is Stephen Blood! I am the F'N Legend around these parts!! That will never change. I am a former XWF World Champion, I am an XWF Hall of Famer!!! And at "Obscured" .. well, I've decided to settle this like men. Since I won last year's King of Xtreme.. you won this year's event ... I've decided to take it upon myself to find out who the better man really is! To give these XWF fans a show!! But, most importantly .. to add something else to my resume'... while shutting you up for good!!! You wanted to see how good you really are Knighthawk? You wanted to prove to these people you're worthy of an XWF Main Event? Well, you don't get Adkins. You don't get the World Champ. But, now ... you got yourself a real opponent.... at Obscured... I say YOU GOT YOURSELF A MATCH!!!!!
The crowd LOVES it, and cheers Stephen Blood on as he taunts William Knighthawk who is down inside the ring.
Stephen Blood: I'd come down there now, and beat some ass! But, I see you got your goons with you. No problem! Hell, you could even bring them to get a front row seat at Obscured!!! Because, I am going to walk out the victor. I am going to become the new Xtreme Champion, and your first title defense... will end in a LOSS at MY hands!!! See you at Obscured punk .... And as always... REMEMBER THE NAME .... REMEMBER THE PAIN!!!
Stephen Blood drops the mic, and William Knighthawk is furious in the ring! He is going off with his S.O.S. members by his side. The XWF fans are buzzing as we start heading off the air here at Showdown!
Jim Ross: The first time ever the Xtreme Title is on the line .. Stephen Blood vs. William Knighthawk.. it all goes down October 30th from Richmond, Virginia in our MAIN EVENT of the evening! It all happens at "Obscured". Thank you for watching everybody. Goodnight!
The night ends backstage with the Wreckin' Crew watching the monitors, and the chaos that just took place out at ringside.
Flip Johnson: I don't know about you Brute. But, something's awfully suspicious going around here. By the end of Obscured.. I promise we get to the bottom of this, and we get this problem resolved!!
Brutality nods as his parnter in agreement as we fade off the air looking at the monitor the Wreckin' Crew was watching. You see William Knighthawk going absolutely insane, and flipping out inside the ring with his Skeleton of Society members.
