The Barton Arena is once again filled to capacity, packed with fans ready for the show to begin. Many speak to each other about the brutal upcoming Texas Execution Death Match, while others speak of the main event, with two of the BTWF's veterans going up against each other for the gold. The talking stops and is replaced by a huge cheer, however, as the lights dim and we are shown a few clips leading up to this Pay-Per-View.

Once they're finished, a string of normal pro wrestling weapons are seen flying across the screen, all of them eventually falling together to spell out the words: "MaXimum Carnage". The crowd pops as an air raid siren blares over the speakers, soon followed by a guitar riff as the lights turn to a dim, dark red color. A fast drum beat leads up to the intro of the song, and as one word is shouted out over the speakers, flames erupt at the top of the entrance ramp.

KUAN!!!

Many of the rock fans in the arena recognize the song as "Battle Ready" by OTEP. As the song moves into its first verse, the flames grow higher, the heat flowing over the crowd.

Simple souls overload as I explode data banks
'Cause the Earth and Space gave birth to this paleface

Supreme, linguistic -- mental machine
Your brain cells swell, the intellect's extreme

The flames start to move down over the entrance ramp, arcing up to create a tunnel of flame.

Fire fills my veins as I proclaim my resistance
To the mind swapping parasites that feed off my existance as I

Skin the burn -- to relearn the pain
Somewhere out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land

As the flames reach the end of the entrance ramp, flames suddenly shoot up on all four sides of the ring as well as out of the turnbuckles.

It's the authentic, apocolyptic destroyah
Damaging challengers -- ressurrection, disorder

A momunment of crisis, I strikes this -- You're dead
Line my nest with your soul -- CLEANSED IN BLOODSHED BATTLE READY! Poets gonna take control BATTLE READY! Souls violate parole BATTLE READY! Violently invade your home Breakin' the bones OF THOSE WHO POSE!!!

The flames finally die down, leaving only the cheers of the fans as the lights go back to their normal white glow and we cut to our announcers.

Vic "The Voice" Hartman: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to BTWF MaXimum Carnage! I'm Vic "The Voice" Hartman!

James "Headhunter" Sharpton: And I'm James "Headhunter" Sharpton! And boy, have we got a show for you tonight!

Hartman: That's right, Jim! Tonight is shaping up to be one of the most brutal Pay-Per-Views EVER in the BTWF! Nearly every match tonight has a stipulation that's sure to shed quite a lot of blood.

Sharpton: Just how I like it, Vic! Sometimes that's what you need to settle feuds. First off, we have a Three Way Dance for the Television Title, with Anthony Voorhees, Makuta, and Jaice Wilds all facing off against one another!

Hartman: And a Three Way Dance is different from a Triple Threat, in the fact that two men have to be eliminated, not just one. We've seen this rivalry build for a long time. Will Jaice Wilds keep his championship? Will Anthony Voorhees reclaim what he once had, and get revenge for Hika Lai as well? Or will Makuta take what he left behind, and become the Television Champion once again?

Sharpton: We'll see, but I got my money on Voorhees. After everything that's happened this month leading up to this match, I think it's time for the Terror Ryzer to show everyone how much of a champion he is.

Hartman: You could be right, Jim. After that, it's a singles match to settle a score, as the deranged Raymond Kage, and the "King of Pain" Victor Bidwell face off!

Sharpton: While l'm sure this is going to be an entertaining match, I'd much rather see it with a No DQ stip. I mean, come on! You can't put Kage in a match without giving him some weapons to work with...

Hartman: But wouldn't you think that would be an unfair advantage against Bidwell, who has vowed to never use weapons?

Sharpton: ...Do I look like the type of person who would care?

Hartman: I guess not. But nevertheless, this match will happen, and it's sure to be a good one.

Sharpton: Right about that. Afterwards, it's our second title match of the night, with the champions, Seraph and Kanyon, facing off against the Terror Kings, Dark Lord and Kid Chaos!

Hartman: And not only that, it's a No Disqualification Tornado Tag Match! All four men will be in the ring at the same time! And any tactics can be used!

Sharpton: Now this is my kind of match. Constant action, with no worries about rules. Just two teams doing whatever it takes to win.

Hartman: This match is definitely going to be interesting. After that, it's a Four-Man...er, Four-PERSON Double Elimination match for the Small Fry Championship!

Sharpton: Oh yeah! Icy Ali will be defending his title against Hell's Guardian, Tsunami, and That One Chick!

Hartman: ...It's Twilight Tokyo Ro-

Sharpton: In this match, two competitors enter the ring. When one person is eliminated, they have to go to the back while another contender comes out. You have to be pinned twice to be completely out of this match. The last person remaining will be the Small Fry Champion!

Hartman: Exactly. And then, it's a match that many have been talking about since way back at Ragnarok! The Demon. Darson Grays. NO DISQUALIFICATION!

Sharpton: If you'll all remember, this started way back during the month leading up to Ragnarok, when the Masters of Darkness attacked Ravena. Dar interfered, and a match was eventually made for Ragnarok, with The Demon going against Ravena!

Hartman: Sadly, that match ended with Ravena being seriously injured. Both Dar and Ravena took some time off, Ravena to recuperate, and Dar to train. Dar came back the week after Eternity, however, and stopped The Demon from attacking Ravena once again in a Battle Royal. Thus, this match was booked. And we get to see two of the largest superstars in the BTWF face off against one another!

Sharpton: Definitely going to be a good match. And then, it's another title match, with the former Small Fry Champion, Xunkai, facing off against the newly-crowned Gaia Champion, Bryan Kutterman!

Hartman: Xunkai won the #1 Contender's Match on Madness, and this cruiserweight is ready to step up and take his shot at the title that his tag team partner once held!

Sharpton: How will Kutterman's technical style fare against Xunkai's high-flying abilities? We'll find out. But after that, it's the match that I've been dying to see for the last few weeks, Vic. This is my pick of the night, and I can't wait. Big Daddy. Maxwell Conners. In a TEXAS EXECUTION DEATH MATCH! Vic, this match was CREATED in my home state!

Hartman: ...I can see why. I have no idea why two men would agree to be in a match like this. But I suppose hate can do a lot of things.

Sharpton: Barbed wire, thumbtacks, shards of broken glass...It's gonna be great, Vic!

Hartman: Maybe for you, Jim...But after that, if the arena hasn't cleared out due to the sheer amount of violence in that match, we have our next match, which is also sure to be a good one: The Heat. Apolo. THREE STAGES OF HELL!

Sharpton: Damn, I'm not sure if this night can get any better. First, these two will face off in a Submission match. Right off the bat, these two are going to be trying to wear each other down in an attempt to make the other tap out in a submission hold.

Hartman: Once we get a fall there, it's on to a Tables match. First man to be driven through a wooden table will win that fall.

Sharpton: Should each man get a fall, we will move on to the final match, the tie-breaker: A Last Man Standing match! Both men will be worn out by the time this is over, but will the hatred these two feel for each other be enough to get up time after time?

Hartman: It's certinaly going to be a gripping match, Jim. And finally, after this, it's our main event! Two veterans of the BTWF fighting for the gold! The Tiger versus Steve "Savior" Twist for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship!

Sharpton: Both of these guys have a huge group of fans. It's going to be interesting to see how the crowd splits for this match.

Hartman: There's been a lot of tension leading up to this match in the last few weeks, and it's all going to reach a boiling point tonight as the gold is put on the line! Will a new champion be crowned? Find out tonight on MaXimum Carnage! Now let's get to our first match...
