LIVE! From Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania.
With a record sold out crowd of 122,000 young men, and women jam packed in this outdoor stadium. On this hot summer day!
The "King Of Xtreme" theme song:
The scene fades in to the stadium ...
and the fans are all on their feet, holding various signs, such as: "The Original", "TV-MA", "War Machine", "MARS is BACK!" , "Jon Hampton for President." , "Thank You Very Much" , .. "XWF 4 Life", ... "#1 Phan," .."YOU SOLD OUT!!!" , .. "Version 7" , .. "BLOOD HUNT." ... "Who cut the lights??" ., .. "SHIRU" ,, and .. last but not least, "Bring back X."
We cut to the announcers table where the new announcers, James Shaw, and Alex "Cool" Beans are sitting. They open up the broadcast, LIVE! from ringside, and they are trying to hold their composure. The crowd is loud, and wreckless. They are shoving each other around, and it's almost like a concert atmopshere in the stadium tonight.
James Shaw: Hi, I'm James Shaw, and right beside me.. is my colleague, and most dearest friend, .. Alex Beans...
Alex "Cool" Beans: That's Alex "COOL" Beans to you, and everyone else, sir. And I'd appreciate it, if you'd get it right next time! Anyways, I'm here, .. as your color commentator. But, I'm here to tell you, I'm the cooler commentator. This lame bozo, right here, can't handle his job, .. he's like a teenage, girl, hopped up on liquor, and booze...
James Shaw: What on Earth are you talking about?
Alex "Cool" Beans: Oh, you know very well, what I'm talking about--
**BLINK ! BLINK ! BLINK**!
Suddenly a few loud ringin' sounds go off in the stadium, and the camera pans around to show a pedestal, with the words, "General Manager" written on the front end.
Alex "Cool" Beans: Oh, Oh! This must be him, .. this must be the first message from our new General Manager, who could it be? What could the message be??? I mean, let me get over there .. .
James Shaw: Yeah, get over there, ..
Alex gets out of his seat, and approaches the "General Manager" pedestal. He steps up, behind the microphone, and the laptop.
Alex "Cool" Beans: Excuse me! .. Ahemm. Ladies, and gentlemen, I'm not just clearing my throat here,.. for my own health!! I'm here to speak to all of you, ....
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
.. on behalf of the new General Manager, .... AND I'M QUOTING HIM NOW, ... . not myself, I am NOT the General Manager, ... anyyyways, ..... he says, .... ... "Alex, .. due to the fact, that you are a wobbling, hobbling, waste of space, loser, .. and your friend, James Shaw, .. is a complete, and utter jackass, .. , .. you are, both now.. .. FIRED!!....." ......
Alex now realizes that he just sealed his own fate. He can't believe it. He pauses, and places his dull hand, over his pathetic head, seeming awe struck. Suddenly, again,
**BLINK ! BLINK ! BLINK ! **
The sound goes off again, and there's another message for Alex "Cool" Beans.
, .. he now says, CLEAR YOUR DESK IN THE BACK, and GET OUT OF MY COMPANY IMMEDIATELY ...... but, not before, you announce- these next 2 men, who will be replacing those sorry excuse for commentators ....... Jim Ross, and Jerry "The King" Lawler,!!....
The crowd goes wild! Alex "Cool" Beans does not.
Nooo ,,.. NOOO!!!
Out from the backstage area, here comes Jim Ross, and Jerry Lawler. They make their way down the long ramp, and the fans give them a terrific standing ovation. They wave out to the crowd, as they make their way over to ringside, and James Shaw leaves on his own terms, as Alex "Cool" Beans gets dragged out by 2 security guards. He is furious! Jim Ross, and Jerry "The King" Lawler shake hands with fans around their commentators area, and they have huge smiles on their faces. They get situated, and eventually place their headsets on.
Jim Ross: Ladies, and gentlemen, .. we're back.,.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: That's right J.R. We are LIVE! here in Beaver Stadium, and... .. I see plenty of that around me, ..
Jim Ross: I thought we just got rid of the last 2, .. ..
Jerry Lawler: Get 'em J.R.
Jim Ross: That's right. Alright, well lets get in to it, and lets not waste anymore of your precious time. We have waited months, -- MONTHS for this occassion to go down, and it's been quite the ride ever since. Lets take you back ,... to Xtreme Mania: Decade, .. ONE NIGHT ONLY!!
*****FLASH BACK*****
"Xtreme Mania: Decade" , .. March 28th, 2010, ,
War Machine returns, and takes out The Phan in a brilliant Strap Match. Ending it with a Slingshot Suplex, and touching all 4 corners in time, raising one finger to signal his victory! .... Stephen Blood chokes out Xavier Summers, and forces him to tap out to the newly constructed, Blood Hunt, submission finisher, ..... . The Guerillas returned to the squared-circle, and Midnight Star put on quite a show. Lot of brutal spots, including The Wreckin' Crew pushing both members of The Guerillas through the commetator's table, and ruined their chances of recapturing the Tag Team Titles in that Xtreme Tag Team Championship, Ladder Match. Rage set a table on fire, and shoved Stephen Blood through that burning table, but not before the F'N Legend became a Tag Team Champion for the umpteenth time. Meanwhile, Crimson Tide snuck in with the lights out, and cost War Machine his opportunity at becoming a 4-time Xtreme Tag Team Champion. , .... "The Original" had a great match with Rage, that saw Rage escape a nasty DDT on the Xtreme Ring-Bell, a sickenin' Codebreaker, .the Walls of Jericho, and eventually it was the Lionsault that finally put the Monster away. .... Also, the return of TV-MA, Mark Adkins, as the Special Guest referee, for the "I Quit" match with Chris Falkenyork vs. Carlos A. Shotgun. It was a great up, and down contest. We saw 8 Rolling German Suplexes on thumbtacks, we witnessed massive ammount of pain, and crucial involvement from both men, which ended in a twisted story, seeing Falkenyork threaten to drag Shotgun down the road in his own truck, but it ended out in the ring, with Sasha sticking her nose in, and Adkins stepping in between the world's most famous couple, .. it was York who was victorious, remaining undefeated at Xtreme Manias, while Adkins accidentally injured Shotgun's wife, before he said those 2 words, "I Quit". .. Later in the night, we saw the return of Joey Kincaid, and 9LP, .. as well as Mars, and HHH surround the Hell in a Cell, as Jesse Jones, and Jon Hampton duked it out, in a 60-minute Ironman Match. It was a magnificent back, and fourth contest, .. Hampton got the 1st pinfall, but Jones forced him to tap to the Crippler Crossface, and later drilled him with a Jay Walk, with only 3 seconds remaining. Remaining the XWF World Champion ,
Jim Ross: That ladies, and gentlemen, is how Xtreme Mania: Decade went down, and now, . on to other news, and things that have transpired over the last few months, lets take you back, ...
*****FLASH BACK*****
The Build up to the "King of Xtreme" pay per-view.
The Summer of 2010, including the Award Show, and other XWF Superstar promos.
...... since then-- Mars has come back, and declared war against Jon Hampton for interrupting him, and making fun of his name. ... Stephen Blood, and Crimson Tide almost refusing to see eye-to-eye, even though both men are XWF Tag Team Champions... .. Shiru Vanchiez has returned to the squared-circle as well, and there remains a cloud of uncertainty around that young, up-and-coming superstar... .. War Machine contemplates retirement, and Matt Sharper remains in hiding, .. while Jesse Jones writes the XWF a letter, and arranges for his retirement to be made official, but will he be forced to fulfill his obligations?? ... Shotgun, and Adkins have exchanged heated words, and have a big match set, with a lot at stake, . meanwhile, TV-MA has claimed to have maybe impregnated Shotgun's wife, Sasha, as Carlos burns old memories, and addresses the crowd, as if he was angry at them for everything!!, .... Rage, and Crookz have problems it seems, but want a crack at the King Of Xtreme crown. ... The Guerillas, and The Wreckin' Crew are vying behind the scenes, that this war could get very ugly, they have made mulitple threats towards each other, and something may EXPLODE here tonight, .... .. not to mention, "The Original", and Chris Falkenyork have been working hard, to keep the company alive, and make the XWF a brand name once again, they have been getting a lot of respect from the veterans in the back, and a ton of support from the XWF fans themselves, .. the Main Event for the evening shall be very interesting, as will the "King Of Xtreme" Tournament, and the rest of the night, ....
We cut back to Beaver Stadium, after that video package is put together. Jim Ross, sitting at ringside with Jerry "The King" Lawler, a few more signs are spotted, including: "Where's Joey Kincaid??" , .. "Blood 4 Blood." , .. .and lifesize replica of War Machine, with a bubble coming from his mouth, reading: "TRY ME!" ..
Jim Ross: Ladies, and gentlemen, we are so happy to be here today. It's been a long road. From the first time we opened those doors in 1998, .. until 2006 when we were forced to close down, .. but the summer of 2008 proved to be a great idea, and it allowed us a few more events, before.. Xtreme Mania, .. back here in April, and it has lead us here-- .. to tonight, "King Of Xtreme" .. it is the year, 2010, and who would have thought we'd make it this far? But, with a roster full of Hall of Famers, .. I mean-- LEGENDS King, complete Legends, it has made it very possible-
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, I got to give a lot of respect for the wrestlers that allow me to have a job, and to make things exciting in my life. They truly are warriors, and they have made a lot of people proud. The XWF is a living, breathing creation, and it will not stop... until there's nothing left, .. and who knows when that will be?
Jim Ross: Absolutely. Tonight, is set to be a great adventure, .. it is going to be full of surprises, .. it will be, something the world could never imagine, or draw up in their minds, because it is the most Xtreme event of them all. The tournament that sets the pace, for the rest of the year,.. and truly makes for a time-honored tradition. Tonight! It'll be 8-men in a King of Xtreme tournament, and the XWF World Championship will be on the line as well. ... And don't forget-- Carlos Shotgun vs. Mark Adkins.
Jerry Lawler: TV-MA got his hands full. That's all I'm going to say, .. TV-MA has his hands full tonight, J.R. Believe me, he does, ..
Jim Ross: Well, that may be the case, ..
Jerry Lawler: Well, I'm here to tell you- that IS the case, and it will be happening tonight, .. you only have to watch for yourself, .. One Year- Slave, .. Sasha's lifelihood, in the hands of Carlos Shotgun, and well- in the hands of a madman so to speak, if Adkins were to win. But, could you imagine what favor Shotgun will get from Adkins, if he wins??
Jim Ross: I have no idea. I'm not sure what would be worse? What would be worse King?
Jerry Lawler: Beats me J.R.
Jim Ross: Right now, lets toss it to the ring with Danielle Worley, as she announces this first contest, .. the first match, .. in the 1st round of this "King Of Xtreme" Tournament!!
Danielle Worley: Ladies, and gentlemen, .. fans of the XWF, .. welcome to KING OF XTREME!!! ... We are set to bring you our first scheduled match of the evening. And it'll be a 1st round King Of Xtreme Tournament match!
Lot of cheers from the crowd. They are generally excited to get this started off, early in the afternoon, with the hot sun baking down on 'em.
Danielle Worley: Introducing first, .. .. he is ... INdeed the F'N Legend, .. he is an XWF Tag Team Champion, and a 2009, XWF Hall of Famer, .... he is STEPHEEENNN BLOOOODDD!
The people can not believe it. XWF fans mark out everywhere. The ones in Beaver Stadium rise to their feet, and begin jumping up, and down on each other. Seems like a big college crowd. But, a lot of families still in the mix. The crowd is rampid, and Stephen Blood makes his way out to his gritty theme music, the Realm of Chaos. He poses at the top of the ramp, and makes his way down towards the ring. He snarles out at the fans, and grabs the middle rope, pulling himself up on to the apron, and then posing once again for the fans. He raises his arm straight up in the air, and lets our a gladiator's yell! Stephen Blood steps between the ropes, and snatches the microphone off of Danielle Worley before she gets a chance to announce his opponent for the 1st round, gimmick match.
Stephen Blood: Enough of this hooplah! It's time to get serious around here, and you people are not really paying attention. Or maybe it's Mr. Lucente who has got a few screws loose. Either way. Tonight, is MY night! Tonight, I add to my legacy, and I go on to become not only your KING of xtreme. But, also, .. .. I will once again-- become, your, XWF, World, Heavyweight, Champion!!!
Lots of mixed reactions from the crowd. Some solid boo's in there. But, a majority of the crowd cheers! They acknowledge Stephen Blood's ability, and his pure strength. He lets out a half smile, as he continues on,
Stephen Blood: And by the way, I don't have to say it, .. because they know, .. they alll know, .. all them here in P.A., .. and all those blokes across the airwaves. They know, that I am INdeed, .. the, ... F'N,....
"LEGEND!!!"
Danielle Worley: And his opponent, introducing, ... the challenger, .. of the 1st round King of Xtreme tournament, .. he is the 1st signee in XWF History, and he signed that contract in his own blood, .. he is the master of mind games, .... .. please welcome, 2008 XWF Hall of Famer, Crimson Tide!!
"Sweet Dreams" begins playing, and Crimson Tide appears at the top of the ramp, with his face, covered in black, and white paint.
Jim Ross: This, is going to be, quite the contest. If you could believe it King,..
Jerry Lawler: I'm saying, with these 2, you never know. They are the current XWF Tag Team Champions of the World. They survived an intense ladder match at One Night Only, and it was a quite the spectacle. But, of course, a lot of controversy surrounded the match, .. as .. it does tonight's matchup as well, ..
Jim Ross: If you're referring to the lights going out, and Crimson Tide winning that last tag belt, your absolutely right. As far as, this 1st round contest goes, .. is it a First Blood match, or a Crimson Mask match? That remains the question. But, I'm sure these 2 will have their way of resolving it.. ..
Jerry Lawler: Now, what if there's a controversy, and we have 2 seperate winners?
Jim Ross: No, I don't think that's possible King. We got to have a damn winner. This is the 1st round of the KOX tournament, .. rightfully so, .. the King of Xtreme tournament has been around for nearly a decade, and it's what we're all about, ... tonight-- these 2 get to kick the event off!
Jerry Lawler: And what better way, then to do it right now J.R.?
Crimson Tide methodically makes his way in the ring, and has the XWF Tag Team Title around his waist. He points out at Stephen Blood before he takes the belt off his own waist, and we see Miho on the titantron, watching on closely, with Stephen Blood's Tag Team strap hanging on the table, right beside her.
Jim Ross: The bell has sounded, and we are ready to go, .... it's time to present, the KING OF XTREME tournament, welcome to the year 2010, XWF, ..
The night starts off with - the 1st round gimmick match,
Stephen Blood vs. Crimson Tide - it is a First Blood/Crimson Mask match.... the winner moves on to the 2nd round of the "King Of Xtreme" Tournament,.
Stephen Blood doesn't smile, he has a blank stare on his face, and he appears to be all buisness tonight. He slowly approaches Crimson Tide, and they meet in the middle of the ring. Crimson Tide puts his hand out there, for Stephen Blood to shake it, but he simply looks down in disgust. Crimson Tide slowly pulls his hand back, noticing Stephen Blood isn't interested in any peace treaty. Instead, Crimson Tide raises his left hand, and wants to test his measure of strength, with his tag team parnter, Stephen Blood. At first, Blood just smirks at the thought of matching up with him in a game of mercy. But, then he obliges. He locks up with Crimson Tide, and then they both raise their 2nd hand at the same time, and grasps each others hand, .. locking in in a game of mercy, a battle of strength. However, Stephen Blood quickly turns the table on Crimson Tide, and forces him down to both knees, on the mat. Stephen Blood then throws a sharp knee across Crimson Tide's head, and that shot takes the Crimson One to the mat. He's laying face down, as Stephen Blood picks him up by his greasy, long black hair and then tosses him in to the corner.
Stephen Blood simply man-handling Crimson Tide out there. Taking it to the little fella.
Tide knew what he was getting in to, when he signed up for this tournament, as did the rest of those competitors ... including Stephen Blood, .
And you are absolutely right. Blood, letting Tide have it right now!
Stephen begins, pummeling, Crimson in the corner, and works him over, grading his elbow across his skull. Pealing off most of Crimson Tide's facepaint, and simply humiliating him. Stephen Blood grabs Crimson Tide by the throat, and gets up in his face, yelling something like: "Is that all you got, huh? You little peep-squeak. I'll crush you to death!" He then clinches his grasps on his neck, and begins choking the life out of him, before tossing him half across the ring. Tide's back splatters across the mat, and he rolls around in major pain. Stephen Blood raises his one hand, and draws lots of attention from the crowd. They give him their full support, as he charges in, and puts a boot to Crimson Tide's chops! He lays him out, and begins making his cover, ...
but the referee informs him it's not a regular match. He must first make him bleed, in order to pin him in this type of match, or at least make him bleed.
Crimson Tide looks winded. How bout it J.R.?
He looks beat up in there already. But, not completely defeated yet. He's got a lot of fight left in him, if you could believe it!
Stephen Blood picks Tide up by the head again, and scoop body slams him back to the mat! He then goes to ropes, bounces off 'em, and comes back, landing a BIG LEG on Crimson Tide's skull! He makes another cover, ... and then realizes what he's doing, he lifts Tide's head, and shoulder off the mat for him, before placing him in a sideheadlock. He begins squeezing as hard as he can, and starts draining the life out of Crimson Tide. The fans actually begin clapping in unison, and they want to see this match get off the mat. Crimson Tide suddenly draws from that energy, as people begin jumping, and stomping on the stands, and making the entire stadium rattle!
Is it no secret, the fans are in love with these 2 men, and they are happy to see the night kicked off with these 2 in the ring.
Crimson Tide starts working them both off the mat, and throws an elbow in to Stephen Blood's gut, and another elbow. He seperates himself from the bohemoth, and heads towards the ropes. He bounces back, right in to a hard clothesline from Stephen Blood. The crowd errupts in excitement! Suddenly, very happy to see Stephen Blood back on top of things, and controlling this match up. He picks Crimson Tide off the mat by his hair, and then irish whips him in to the ropes. Crimson Tide bounces back in to another stiff clothesline by Stephen Blood! He drills the tag team champion down to the mat, and then begins choking him out with his barehands. The referee counts him off, and tries to prevent him from really getting that violent. But, Stephen gets off the mat, and charges the referee back in to the corner, telling him to mind his own buisness!
Now, it's not looking good for Crimson Tide, I'll tell ya that King. At first, I thought he had an honest to god shot, of escaping this 1st round, and being the darkhorse tonight,... but Stephen Blood seems determined in putting him away for good, and moving on to that 2nd round, semi-final of this King of Xtreme tournament, ..
He certainly does J.R.
Stephen Blood steps out on to the apron, and hops to the outside. He looks under the ring, and pulls out what appears to be a Screen Glass Door. He drags it out, and the crowd, ooh's, and ahh's at this extravagant moment. He slides it out from under the ring, and slides inside the ring. He then rolls inside the ring himself, and approaches Crimson Tide, putting a solid boot to his back, keeping him on the mat longer. Stephen Blood begins setting the Screen Glass Door up, in the right corner of the ring. The XWF fans rise to their feet, and they all are expecting something Xtreme to go down right now! Stephen sets it up, and walks back over to Crimson Tide, who throws an elbow in to Stephen Blood's thigh, and then another quick elbow. But, Stephen Blood pulverizes him with a solid forearm to the back, and then stands straight up tall, raising his hand in the air, drawing heat, and some amazing pops from the crowd! He roars down at Crimson Tide, and the fans eat it up. They begin chanting, "Stephen Blood! Stephen Blood! Stephen Blood! STEPHEN BLOOD!! STEPHEN BLOOD!!! STEPHEN BLOOD!!!! STEPHEN BLOOD!!"
He got the fans behind him and everything J.R..
Stephen Blood lifts Crimson Tide off the ground, and places him underneath his arm, he looks like he's about to go for his finisher, the Stephenflow DDT. But, Crimson Tide blocks it, and instead pulls out a Snap Suplex of his own! He lays Stephen Blood out momentarily, and begins rolling around the ring. Eventually he rolls to the outside apron. Stephen Blood slowly starts making his way to his feet, and shakes that last move off. He looks real angry now, and charges after Crimson Tide. But, Tide rolls off the apron, and falls to the outside mat below. Stephen Blood yells out to the XWF crowd, .. "he's done for!!" They start cheering, and hooting, and hollering for Stephen Blood to take care of him. Stephen Blood steps thru the ropes to the outside apron. He looks like he's about to go for an Ax-Handle Smash. But, as he goes to leap off, Crimson Tide stands back up, and drills him in the stomach with a black baseball bat!!
Oh no. Tide must've grabbed that from under the ring.
He got a bat J.R. His trademark bat!
I'm not sure he has it trademarked or not. But, .. he's going to work on Stephen Blood on the outside!
Crimson Tide starts hammering Stephen Blood with that baseball bat. Mostly across the ribs, and back of the XWF tag team champion. He screams out to the XWF crowd, before pounding him with the bat some more. Finally he hands the black baseball bat to a fan, and says, "hold this for me." He bends over, picking Stephen Blood off the outside mat. He tries to toss him in the ring. But, Stephen Blood stalls him with a back elbow. Then he pulls him in, and drills him with a headbutt! Crimson Tide falls flat on his back on the outside mat, and Stephen Blood just begins stomping away. He doesn't hesitate at all, as he then lifts Crimson Tide off the outside mat, and whips him around right in to the steel steps! Crimson Tide smashes it back first, and Stephen Blood for the first time tonight, has a satisfied look on his face. He doesn't completely smile. But, his eyes light up, as he looks out in to the XWF faithful that are here LIVE! in State College, Pennsylvania. He picks Tide off the outside mat, and rolls him in the ring. He pulls himself up on to the apron, and then begins mounting the post. He sits down on the top turnbuckle.
He's waiting for Crimson Tide to get up. I suggest that he stay down, if he wants to have any buisness winning this match.
Crimson Tide slowly starts to come to, and as he gets to one knee. He finally pushes himself off the mat, and spins around to face Stephen Blood, who leaps off the turnbuckle, and drills him with a sickening clothesline!! Crimson Tide nearly bends backwards, as he lays helpless on the mat. The crowd begins rooting for Stephen Blood, and getting behind the former World Champion, and one-half of the current Tag Team Champions, as he glares over at the Screen Glass Door, and then a huge smile creeps over his face. He picks Crimson Tide up off the ground, and then forces him to look at the Screen Glass Door, there's a faint reflection in the glass, and Crimson Tide could seem himself battered, bruised, with half his facepaint, scraped from his skull. He looks on exhaustedly, as Stephen Blood taunts him further. He then backs him up a half-step, and begins to charge in to toss Tide face-first. But, instead Crimson Tide hits the brakes, drills Stephen with a quick-chop to the side, and then a quick-kick to his shin. He follows that up, with a swinging DDT attempt. But, Stephen Blood catches himself for a second, and reverses it in to a wicked suplex!!
Nasty reversal by the multiple-tag team champion, this man, this beast of a man, has been competiting in the XWF squared-circle half his life, and he has made quite the impression here tonight.
The F'N Legend, Stephen Blood picks the Crimson One up off the mat, and lifts him up, for a High-Angled Suplex. He holds him up there, for the entire XWF crowd to see. He just holds him straight up, demonstrating his power, and strength. He then brings Crimson Tide down with a vicious Jackhammer!! The XWF crowd marks out for it, and Stephen Blood looks furious. He stares back up at that Screen Glass Door, and down at Crimson Tide's lifeless body. He scrapes him off the mat, and then tosses him over his shoulder. He backs up in to the far corner, and starts charging towards that Screen Glass Door. But, Crimson Tide manages to wiggle out, and hop off his shoulders, landing on his feet behind Stephen Blood. Meanwhile, Stephen stops his momentum, and turns to face Crimson Tide. He goes to swing, but Tide ducks, and out of nowhere leaps up for a Dropkick-- but, Blood swipes him aside, and avoids the crucial contact. He glances back over his shoulder at the Screen Glass Door, and wipes the sweat from his forehead. He looks half-nervous as he goes to pick Crimson Tide off the mat again, and Crimson rolls him up in to a small package. Stephen Blood forces his way out of it, and is faster to get to his feet. He drills Crimson Tide with a boot to the face, as he tries to get to a knee. He drills him with another boot, and out of nowhere, Crimson Tide low-blows him!!
Ahh. The family jewels J.R. The family jewels. Miho's not going to be happy about this.
Forget Miho. Stephen's feeling it right now, and generations to come-- still might be feeling it.
Crimson Tide has his chance to make a move, and he backs up in to the ropes. He bounces back, and drills Stephen Blood with an open right hand! He then starts laying in to him with constant, open right hands, over, and over! He then headbutts him as hard as he can, and Stephen Blood finally falls face first to the canvas. Crimson Tide raises his hands, and the crowd marks out for him. But, he receives mostly a lot of boo's from this audience. They don't appear to be major fans of the Crimson One. He mounts Stephen Blood's back, and places him in the Camel Clutch. He pulls back hard on his head, and really creates a lot of pressure for Stephen Blood. The fans are back on their feet, and they are trying to get Stephen Blood back in to it. Crimson Tide finally reaches the move on his own, and looks around almost helplessly. He starts rolling for the apron, and steps to the outside mat. He asks the fan for his baseball bat back. But, the fan refuses. Crimson Tide argues with him a moment, and then bends back down to go underneath the ring. This time he pulls out a trash can, and tosses it in the ring. He also finds a kendo stick, and tosses that in the ring.
Buisness is about to pick up!
And I was wrong. Crimson Tide is far from out of this..
Crimson Tide slides back in the ring, and Stephen Blood slowly starts getting to his feet. Crimson Tide places the trash can on his head, and then starts banging away on him with the kendo stick! The crowd loves this action right now. He winds up one more time, and drills him with another hard shot from that kendo stick! Stephen Blood falls to his knees, with the trash can on his head.
That'll do the trick.
Crimson Tide then drops the kendo stick, and removes the trash can from off of Stephen's upper turso. He tosses the trash can to the side, and then starts yelling some things at Stephen Blood. He seems to be getting personal, and then backs up towards the ropes again. He goes for a dropkick. But, Stephen Blood, even on his knees- sideswipes him, and Crimson Tide lands hard on the mat!
Ouch!
Stephen Blood rises back up to his feet, and regains his composure. Crimson Tide starts crawling for the ropes, and pulls himself up. But, as he turns around. He's met with a kick to the gut, and then Stephen Blood grabs him with all his might, swinging him, and throwing him face-first through that Screen Glass Door. Crimson Tide smashes through it face-first, and lays over the door, as blood starts trickling from his forehead. The referee calls for the bell!
It appears this match is over.
But, that's not Stephen Blood --
Stephen goes to grab Crimson Tide by the hair, and the referee tries to step in. Stephen Blood shoves the referee back, and focuses his attention on the other-half of the Tag Team Champions. He peals Crimson Tide's face back off of that glass, and shards begin to fall to the mat. There is blood dripping from Crimson Tide's forehead, and it even meshes in with his facepaint. Stephen Blood says something to Crimson Tide. Before dragging him off of that shatter Screen Glass Door, .. and then pulls him to the middle of the ring, drilling him with a beautiful Stephenflow DDT!!!
Holyshit! Holyshit!"
First Blood/Crimson Mask match, must've confused Stephen Blood as well. He's not thru with Crimson Tide. He connects with his finisher, and now he's pinning him all by himself.
Stephen Blood mocks the referees 3-count, and the fans chant along with it .... "... 1, ....... 2, ........ 3!"
Well, that officially does it.
Danielle Worley: And the winner of this 1st round-gimmick match, .... The F'N Legend, .. STEPHEN BLOOD!!!
Well, this one is over, and Stephen Blood moves on, after a long, brutal contest...
Stephen Blood celebrates as he backs his way up the ramp, and looks out at Crimson Tide's lifeless, bloodied body. He smiles to himself, and raises his hands in victory as the crowd lets him hear it with lots of cheers, and great energy! Stephen Blood appears to be a fan favorite for sure, and has the crowd right where he wants them.
Jim Ross: Well, .. Stephen Blood is one step closer in becoming the 2010 King of Xtreme. But, at this time, we'd like to take you backstage, with Flo Stanley standing by with the Wrestler of the Decade, War Machine.
backstage War Machine with Flo Stanley says, "you know at ONE NIGHT ONLY, I never really got to say what I was trying to get at. I've said it for years, and I felt it was the thing of the past. So, that's why I said it the way I did, at the time... I said, "they've tried me, and they found out how good I am." That's what I said at Xtreme Mania: Decade.... but, tonight.. at KOX, "King of Xtreme".... I say, Matt Sharper-- ... TRY ME!!!!"
From behind-- Matt Sharper ATTACKS War Machine. He smashes him from behind with a hard forearm shot, and then becomes stomping away on the beast, as he lays helpless on the ground. He beats up War Machine, .. then Matt Sharper grabs a side of the set, with the television-monitors hooked up to it, and pushes it on War Machine. The large steel set, demolishes War Machine! The fans in the arena can be heard boo'ing this turn of events, and really upset that someone took advantage of War Machine, blind siding him. Matt Sharper disappears out of sight.
Jim Ross: Next match is suppose to be those 2.. what's going to happen??
Jerry Lawler: I'm not sure. I'm confused as you are. We got a 1st round - gimmick match up next, it's suppose to be a Strap Match between those 2 to decide who goes on in this "King of Xtreme" tournament, ....
------------------
... Chris Falkenyork backstage with Mitch Keller.
Mitch Keller: Hello world. I'm Mitch Keller, and alongside me, is former XWF World Champion, and current XWF Hall of Famer- Chris Falkenyork. Tonight, Chris you step in the ring with not only the World Champion, Jesse Jones. But, also with the man who defeated you back at "New Beginnings"... 'The Original'. What are you feelings going in to tonight's matchup?
Chris Falkenyork: First off, Mitch. Don't insult my intelligence. Everybody knows that The Original never defeated me. It was a poor decision by the referee to call that match, I never tapped out, and I was still very able and capable of competiting. But, enough about that. Tonight, is what we're all focused on, "King of Xtreme". You see, I have worked hard to become the man I am. To become the Hall of Famer you see before you today, and a lot of people don't respect that. One being -- The Original. But, the other... most importantly- maybe more importantly- being Jesse Jones. I mean, what a complete bush. A weakling. Someone afraid to face himself, and embarassed of the man he's become... tonight, I will take back what is rightfully mine, and remain the top of the XWF yet again.. and there's not a damn thing, that Jones, or even The Original could do about it.
With that, Falkenyork walks out of sight, and we cut to Mr. Lucente's office, and he is standing by with team doctors.
Doctor: Sorry, Mr. Lucente --- .. but, I can not clear War Machine to compete tonight.
With that... the camera zooms out, and Matt Sharper is standing next to Mr. Lucente. The crowd errupts in a chorus of boo's.
Matt Sharper: Mr. Lucente, .. since that animal can't compete tonight. Then I want a free bid to the 2nd round of the KOX tournament..
Mr. Lucente: I have a better idea.. since the man who answered Shiru Vanchiez's challenge, didn't show up.... well, I decided Shiru was going to be placed in the tournament this year, instead.... and well, since this spot, has opened now....
Sharper is pissed, but goes to prepare for Shiru Vanchiez...
UP NEXT:
Crookz vs. Rage - 1st round- Flaming Tables match.... the winner moves on to the 2nd round of the "King Of Xtreme" Tournament.
Danielle Worley: Introducing first, he is "the Punisher" Crookz.
Out comes Crookz, and the fans don't like him.
Danielle Worley: And his opponent, ... RAGE!!
Fire balls explode everywhere, and the fans could really feel the heat. The big man makes his way down the ramp to a mixed reaction from the crowd, and enters the ring. Him, and Crookz get face-to-face.
Jim Ross: This match is about to get underway, and don't forget - the only way to win this match is by putting your opponent through a Flaming Table. That's what the XWF, and this "King of Xtreme" tournament is all about!
Jerry Lawler: I can't wait for this J.R. I've been waiting months!
Both men are face-to-face, and exchange some words as the bell sounds! Crookz slaps Rage across the face, and Rage turns to grasp his chin. He turns around, and BLAST Crookz across the skull with a brutal uppercut, and follows that up with an overhand right. He backs Crookz to the ropes, and irish whips him across the ring. Crookz ducks a clothesline. Rage bends down, as Crookz bounces back off the ropes, and hits him with a swift boot. Rage is forced to stand up straight, and Crookz tries to clothesline him. But, it barely budges Rage. Crookz backs up to the ropes, and when he steps forward for another clothesline, Rage ducks it, and uses Crookz momentum to set him up for an Atomic Drop. He follows that up, by lifting Crookz up on his shoulder, and backing up to the corner. Rage walks forward, and Power Slams him to the mat! Rage gets back to his feet, and points down at Crookz, as he goes to the ropes, and comes back dropping a BIG LEG across his throat! The crowd lets out a mini pop.
Jim Ross: Sending a message to Crookz, and the rest of the XWF faithful with that BIG LEG there King.
Jerry Lawler: Oh, you better believe it's personal for Rage, and the rest of us here.
Rage gets back to his feet, and lifts Crookz up by the head. He backs him in to the corner, and gives him a vicious chop. And another hard chop across the chest! Rage then whips Crookz to the opposite corner, and his back smashes it hard. As Rage rushes in, and splatters him with a belly splash! He grabs Crookz by the back of the head then, and simply tosses him to the mat. Rage makes a throat-slashing gesture. Before going outside the ring, and lets out a huge smile, as the crowd rises to their feet. Rage drags a table out from underneath the ring. He reaches under again for a can of gasoline, and starts pouring it on the table. He then reaches for a pack of matches in his boot, and smiles as he lights the match up, sets the match book on fire, and drops it on the table. The table ignites in flames, and Rage looks on at Crookz in the center of the ring. Rage pulls himself back up on the apron. And Crookz rushes to his feet. He stalls Rage with a knee thru the ropes, and an overhand right shot. But, Rage fires back with a headbutt of his own. Then Rage mounts the turnbuckle, as Crookz gets to his feet, and turns around-- he's met with a devestating FLYING CLOTHESLINE! That brutal shot takes Crookz down.
Jim Ross: Beautiful work by Rage. What a monster!
Jerry Lawler: You could say THAT again J.R.
Rage then stands to his feet, and holds his hand back high over his head. He waits for Crookz to get up, and when he does. He wraps his big hand around his throat, and doesn't stall-- just simply lifts the big man off the canvas, and CHOKE SLAMS him back to mat!! The XWF crowd pops again. As Rage looks down at the flaming table outside. He scoops Crookz up, and tosses him over his shoulder. He walks forward with him, and dumps him to the outside. Crookz goes through the Flaming Table, and the match is over!!!
Jim Ross: Well, that went as bout as well as you could expect.
Jerry Lawler: Crookz didn't even put up a fight J.R. Speaking of not putting up a fight. Bob Levy was recently attacked by Chris Falkenyork, but he's here tonight, and he's backstage with tonight's first loser of the night--
Jim Ross: "Loser's" a little harsh.
Jerry Lawler: That's what he is J.R. I'm just being honest.
Backstage, in his dressing room Bob Levy is with Crimson Tide who is covered in blood.
Crimson Tide: What's the matter Bob don't look so good tonight.
The XWF crowd could be heard laughing as Crimson Tide rips in to Levy.
Crimson Tide: Must be that brace on your leg, or that bandage on your face. But, if your here to ask me how I felt about the 1st round of this King of Xtreme tournament. If your here to question me on my loss to Stephen Blood, or persist on finding out how I feel about being put thru a glass door... well, I loved every moment of it!
The crowd could be heard hooting, and hollering. As Crimson Tide grabs his tag team title, and walks away, out of the room...
Stephen Blood backstage with good ol pal, Mitch Keller.
Stephen Blood: That that match was too easy, and the next one will be even easier... when I hit him with that STEPHEN FLOW DDT, or I pull out the BLOOD HUNT. Who knows what's going to happen, or how it will end. But, I will add to my legacy .. for I am inDEED the F~cking LEGEND.... .. and you already know ...
... he walks away, and walks back in the view, with the crowd all hyped, stating,
"REMEMBER THE NAME..... .. remember, the pain..."
We cut back to ringside where Shiru is already in the ring.
Jim Ross: Strong words from the XWF Tag Team Champions, and.. apparently the man Shiru was set to face, ZANE WALKER, has since disappeared from the XWF. And so the "Shiru Vanchiez Invitational" won't go down this year, like it's suppose to. Instead, we will have Shiru, who was kind enough to agree to this under such short notice, and he will take on Matt Sharper now..
Jerry Lawler: After what we just saw Matt Sharper do, attack War Machine from behind, like a coward, and end his night at KOX already.... I'm not sure what to expect J.R.
backstage..
Matt Sharper is heading to the ring for the 1st round match, against newly replaced opponent, Shiru Vanchiez. when out of nowhere-- War Machine SPEARS Matt Sharper as he's walking thru the back hallway.. War Machine beats the shit out of him, and says, "you wanted to be STRAPPED TO ME, huh?? You wanted to be strapped to the GREATEST WRESTLER OF THE ENTIRE DECADE?? Well, now you get your chance.." War Machine straps him up, and starts dragging Sharper down the hallway...
Shiru Vanchiez is in the ring, and the referee announces that he is the winner, and automatically moves on to the 2nd round of the tournament....
Jerry Lawler: WOW...
<<<>>>Video Package for tonight's MAIN EVENT is shown, "Mad Dogg" Jesse Jones vs. "The Original" vs. Chris Falkenyork for the XWF World Championship, and the 5 remaining- contestants are ran down again for the KOX Tournament, It will be Stephen Blood vs. Rage in Round 2, and Shiru Vanchiez will now adavance to Round 2, to face the winner of Mars vs. Jon Hampton.<<<>>>>
Jerry Lawler: What you think J.R.? You look at a loss of words.
Jim Ross: I'm simply speechless.
Jerry Lawler: Well, up next is the legend, and hall of famer, simply known as MARS. But, some know him as G.O.A.T, "the Greatest Of All Time", and he will be going against the self-proclaimed, "Chosen One" Jon Hampton in this 1st round, King Of Xtreme, STEEL CAGE match!! ... That is NEXT --
------------------------------
We cut to ringside where the steel cage is lowering in to the ring, and Danielle Worley is set to announce the next match of the night. It will be the last match of the 1st round of the "King of Xtreme" tournament.
"The Chosen One" Jon Hampton vs. Mars -- in a STEEL CAGE match .. the winner moves on to the 2nd round of the "King Of Xtreme" tournament.
Danielle Worley: Introducing first, .. ..he is the self proclaimed, "Chosen One" ... JON.... HAMPTON!!!
Jon's theme music hits, and the crowd begins boo'ing immediately. As the man makes his way out from behind the curtains, the XWF fans really let him hear it, and he starts mocking the people in the audience. He makes his way down the ramp, poking fun at little kids, and shouting things out at anybody he could get a rise out of. He finally makes his way up the steel steps, and steps through the door - inside the great Steel Cage.
Danielle Worley: And his opponent, in this 1st round tournament match ... is ... the self proclaimed, "Greatest Of All Time" .. he is the man known as MARS!!
People instantly rise to their feet, and the crowd is in an uproar. Many diehard Mars fans in the crowd tonight. A lot of XWF faithful showing him a tremendous ammount of support. He makes his way out from the backstage area, and when the fans finally spot him on top of the ramp, they go absolutely BONKERS for the former multi- XWF World Champion. This 2005 Hall of Famer makes his way down the ramp, and plays to the crowd. Clapping hands, and pointing out signs that just have his name on it. He smiles for the camera, and flexes a few muscles. Before jogging the rest of the way towards the ring. He pauses at the door, and takes a look at the massive Steel Cage. He pumps himself up, before taking his blue t-shirt off, and tossing it in to the crowd! Then he walks up the steel steps, in to the ring, and the referees close, and lock the door behind him. Both men are in the middle of the ring, and this will be the last match of the 1st round of this illustrious "King of Xtreme" tournament.
Jim Ross: Well, King.. it's bout to be .. a slobber knocker.
Jerry Lawler: You could say that 10-times over. I mean, these two men in the ring are certainly familiar with these aspects, and this atmosphere playing a huge role in tonight's events.
Jim Ross: You got a former World Champion in there, who promised to do a lot of great things tonight, and you have a man, "the man", "the ulimate one" .. in the ring right now-- trying to prove his worth. He fell short at ONE NIGHT ONLY, .. our "Xtreme Mania: Decade" main event- was featured by him, and "The Mad Dogg" Jesse Jones. Only, it was the Mad Dogg who picked up the victory in that match. Despite Hampton going up 1-0 on the count. It was Jesse Jones who got the next submission, and the final pinfall.. with 3 seconds to go in that remarkable Hell in a Cell, IRONMAN match. But, tonight... the stipulations are much different.
Jerry Lawler: Yes, pin your opponent. Or make your opponent tap out. Or find a way to escape the cage! That is the only opportunities you got in this match tonight!
Jim Ross: Well, this match, and the rest of the matches brought to you by Snickers. "Snickers, .. Betty White eats 'em, why the hell not?" ..
Jerry Lawler: And by Monster Energy Drinks .. "because, People like Them Things." ..
Jim Ross: Lets send it up to ringside, and get to some action--
The BELL SOUNDS, and this match is underway. The two men approach each other in the middle of the ring, and start jaw'ing at one another. Mars than steps back, and Hampton points a finger at his face. While, Mars just shakes his head: "no way". He backs up a few feet, and begins clapping. The XWF crowd follow sin unison with Mars, and suddenly the entire Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania start clapping, and stomping wildly! Mars then rushes back up in Hampton's face, and they jaw again. Before, Hampton attempts to throw Mars in a sideheadlock. But, Mars shoves Hampton forward off of him, and when he bounces back- Mars simply lays a shoulderblock in to him, and Hampton goes down hard. Hampton pops back up from the mat, and looks pissed. He charges in at Mars, and is met with a hiptoss. Which Mars turns in to a sidearmbar, and begins prying back on Hampton's shoulder, wearing "the Chosen One" down.
Jim Ross: He's giving it to the young fella King.
Jerry Lawler: Yes, indeed he is J.R. I mean, look at the way he's quickly taken over this crowd, and changed the momentum of the tournament.
Jim Ross: Absolutely, Mars came to win this tournament, .. but, he also came to seek revenge on Jon Hampton for those not-so-kind words he had to say about him a couple months back.
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, he berated him, and called him out in front of the entire XWF crowd. It was a LIVE! ceremony to honor those superstars of the past decade, and Hampton stuck his nose in where it didn't belong.
Hampton works himself off the mat, and actually connects with a solid Backbreaker on Mars!
Jim Ross: And this what's led us to tonight's match. The last of the first round contests... if you saw earlier, Stephen Blood advanced, Rage has advanced to take him on in the 2nd round, and a bizarre turn-of-events... it'll be Shiru Vanchiez who takes on the winner of this contest --
Jerry Lawler: Very bizarre indeed J.R. ... But, right now, it's Hampton who's trying to gain control of this matchup. Following his loss to Jesse Jones back in April!
Hampton works Mars over in the corner. Putting the fists to him, and throwing a knee in to his midsection. Hampton walks forward with Mars, and attempts a Bulldog. But, Mars tosses him forward, and Hampton slams across the canvas. Mars backs up towards the ropes, and rushes in, going for an elevated leg drop, and drops it on the back of Hampton's neck, as he tries to get to his knees. Mars waste no time, and starts putting the boots to Hampton. Then quickly lifting him off the mat, for a High Angle Suplex. He collapses his spine on the canvas, and then rolls over on top of him. Mocking Hampton, and throwing open fists in to his face. Mars gets up, and poses for the crowd, and they love it!!
Jim Ross: Not many people have gained the respect, and could ignite a crowd like Mars. I mean, this man is the G.O.A.T. .. you know that right King?
Jerry Lawler: Oh, you don't got to tell me J.R. He's the Greatest Of All Time, and he carries himself very well. Unlike that other guy--
Back in the ring, Mars drops an elbow across Hampton's skull, and wears him down with a sleeperhold in the middle of the ring.
Jim Ross: You got to believe Hampton bit off more than he could chew this time. Back at "New Beginnings".. he was defeated by both Shotgun, and Jones in the same night... despite taking out the other Hall of Famer in that 2nd chance championship tournament, HHH.
Jerry Lawler: Yes, he was the #1 contender because he had beat Jones twice during the Summer of 2008, don't forget.. it was Hampton who may have got lucky over him at "New Beginnings".
Back in the Steel Cage. Mars tosses Hampton face-first in to the cage, and Hampton falls flat on his back. Mars begins climbing the ropes, and waits up there for Hampton to turn around. Once he does, he leaps off and nails him with an Ax Handle Smash! The crowd marks out for Mars. As he points for the top of the Steel Cage, and makes his way over. He begins climbing the Steel Cage now, trying to escape, and win this 1st round match.
Jim Ross: Yep, .. Hampton was the unlucky one at "Xtreme Mania" however, and he may be the unlucky one here tonight. It was a Hell in a Cell that kept him trapped in there with Jesse Jones last time. This time, the Steel Cage might be the doom of Jon Hampton.
Mars reaches the top of the cage. But, suddenly a hand reaches up, and it's Hampton pulling him back in the ring. Hampton manages to work Mars down to the ropes. And grabs the back of Mars head.. leaping forward, and connecting with a vicious Bulldog from the top rope!!
Jim Ross: My gawd! Mars simply face-planted in to the canvas.
Jerry Lawler: This is Hampton's chance at redemption..
Hampton starts crawling for the ropes, and looks to escape the cage. But, has 2nd thoughts, as he looks back over at Mars, who is struggling to get to his knees now. Hampton rushes in, and goes for a wicked punt across Mars' face. But, the veteran Mars moves out the way just in time, he grabs Hampton's leg, and holds it out, as Jon hops on one leg. Begging for Mars to let him go. Mars smiles, and spins Hampton around, clotheslining him to the mat!! The crowd pops again, as Mars gets to his feet, and mounts the top turnbuckle. He hollers at the crowd, before dropping a fist across his face, from the top rope!!
Jim Ross: Devestating Knuckle-Sandwich!
Jerry Lawler: Ahh. Did you say Knuckle Sandwich?
Mars then slowly lifts Hampton off the mat, and executes a sickening Gut Wrench Powerbomb! The crowd erupts as Mars hops back to his feet, and then he peals Hampton off the mat again. This time, he hoist him over his back, and spins Hampton around for a little while. The crowd laughs at his antics, as he finally drops him with a modified Samoan Drop!!
Jim Ross: Brilliant work out here tonight by Mars.
Mars shows no pity on Hampton, and lifts him off the canvas again. However, he starts jaw'ing at Hampton, and Hampton pushes him back-- then he SPITS in Mars' face. The whole crowd ooh's, and ahh's at this. As Mars wipes the little spittle away from his cheek. He then charges in, kicks Hampton in the guts, and pulls his arms over behind him, .. setting him up for HHH's finisher... and then finally PLANTING Hampton with a Pedigree!! For some reason the crowd eats this moment up, and are jumping up, and down everywhere in the stadium. There's not a still body in the house, as the place is a rockin'
Jim Ross: Sending a message to the former #1 contender ..
Jerry Lawler: Mars wants to win this. But, he wanted to humiliate Hampton tonight, and after that move-- we know it's not looking good for the supposed, "Chosen One" now.
Mars looks down at the lifeless Hampton, as he begins mounting the ropes, and pulls himself up on top of the Steel Cage. He flexes a huge muscle for the crowd. Before making his way down the outside of the Steel Cage. He drops a few feet down to the outside mat, and that is it. The XWF fans are very pleased! They are celebrating in the audience right now, and Mars looks very happy to have one his first contest back to the squared-circle in over 5 years.
Jim Ross: Give it up for Mars. We never hyped this up as much as we should. But, that was Mars' first match back in an XWF ring.. in over 5 years King. I mean, the man is a former Intercontiental Champion, he was quite possibly the greatest XWF World Champion we've ever had. He was a dynasty in himself, and truly one of the original thoroughbreads of the XWF.
Jerry Lawler: I'll give you that. Looked like Hampton was very sluggish out there. Didn't put up much of an effort, and tonight it was Mars who moved on to the 2nd round, but wait-- what's this ??
Mars forces the referees to unlock the Steel Cage door, and he re-enters the Steel Cage like he promised. He quickly hops on Hampton, and latches on the STF!!
Jim Ross: He's got him where he wants him now King!!
Jerry Lawler: Painful move he has latched on, and Hampton is tapping out like a crazed wild man! He wants no more part of this experience..
Jim Ross: Oh, c'mon now King. We all know Hampton was asking for it. And Mars is giving it to him now!!
After a few seconds of torturing Hampton, he decides to get up, and get the crowd involved again. He starts clapping, and roaring the crowd up. Stomping on the mat, as they hop up, and down in the crowd!! Mars then slowly stalks Hampton, and finally prys him off the canvas. Setting him up for his own finisher.. the move known as , "The Red Sun"... He latches it on, and plants Jon Hampton in the center of that XWF ring-- with a glorified hellacious maneuver!!
Jim Ross: He made his statement felt tonight,
Jerry Lawler: And that was the exclimation mark!
Mars relishes in this "King of Xtreme" moment, as the Steel Cage is raised back to the rafters, and he begins making his way up the ramp, to a great ovation from the crowd!
Jim Ross: Well, what a way to start off this night... with this tournament. We already know what's going to happen in the 2nd round of this "King of Xtreme" event. It will be... Stephen Blood going one-on-one.. with Rage in an Xtreme Rules match, and it'll be... Shiru Vanchiez who finds himself in the 2nd round already, without even having to compete earlier tonight,.. and he will go up against the man who just did some serious damage in that ring, Mars!!
Jerry Lawler: It'll be quite the 2nd round, and we still have so much more planned J.R.
Jim Ross: That's right, we've got The Guerillas vs. The Wreckin' Crew scheduled up next .. the winners will be the new #1 contenders for the Tag Team Titles.. but, judging by the way things went tonight, and the fact that neither team has shown their face in a few months. You never know here in the XWF. But, .. we also got "TV-MA" Mark Adkins returned to the squared-circle, and WOW.. what has transpired over the past few months.. has been nothing short of breath-taking, and .. well.. bizarre. The XWF has been known for a few things, and one of 'em is the Elite... .. which has now saw Carlos A. Shotgun fall victim to Chris Falkenyork's ambush at Xtreme Mania, ending in a Version 7 finishing hold. With Mark Adkins front-and-center the whole entire time. Sasha Shotgun got involved... now she finds herself in the middle of all this mess. And I don't want to tell ya what happend--
Jerry Lawler: It was crazy J.R. At first, we think these guys are just back for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Nope! Next thing you know... we've got Adkins accidentally harming Shotgun's wife, .. and then-- announcing he wants to take Carlos on .. .. with one condition, if he wins, he gets to have Sasha Shotgun as his slave for ONE WHOLE YEAR. I mean, .. Shotgun on the other hand. All Carlos could do, is win, and get his ONE FAVOR from Mark Adkins. Who knows what that would be, if he ends up winning tonight? But, meanwhile... Adkins has went as far as claiming to have injected, and impregnated Carlos' wife, Sasha Shotgun. It's been quite the unexpected .. with all these twists, and turns.. .. in this interesting saga. But, now the question remains. Who will walk out the victor? And what will the consequences truly be?
Jim Ross: There's no telling King. So much has went down, so much has transpired over the last few months. Carlos A. Shotgun, and "TV-MA" Mark Adkins are heading for one heated, and completely memorable battle.
Jerry Lawler: And we still got the "Triple Threat" Main Event ..... with 3 of the XWF's best.
Jim Ross: It should be quite the night. We already saw Crimson Tide go thru a glass door. We witnessed Crookz going through a flaming table. We watched as Matt Sharper attacked War Machine like some sort of coward, only to get Spear'ed, and dragging away with that strapped attached to War Machine's arm....
Jerry Lawler: Not good news for Sharper by the way.
Jim Ross: No sir. And now, Shiru has moved on to the 2nd round.. where he will take on Mars, who just took it to Jon Hampton in that steel cage match!
Jerry Lawler: Great work so far J.R. We still got the 2nd round of that tournament, the "King of Xtreme" Finals, .. .. TV-MA vs. Carlos A. Shotgun, and.... .. our "Triple-Threat" Main Event is still on the way!!.. What more could we say J.R.?
Jim Ross: I think we bout said enough. Up next, ... The Guerillas scheduled to take on The Wreckin' Crew.. the winners are the new #1 contenders for the Tag Team Titles. You won't want to miss this!
------------
We cut backstage where senior analysis Flo Stanley is standing by at The Guerillas dressing room.
Flo Stanley: Ladies, and gentlemen. I am standing by at the locker room door of the former tag team champions, and 2009 Hall of Famers, The Guerillas. But, appears they don't want to talk to anybody or they simply haven't arrived. Because, I've been knocking for the last 20 minutes, nobody is answering the door. I'm not so sure about that #1 contenders match.... ..lets send it Back to RINGSIDE--
In the ring, The Wreckin' Crew are working the fans up, and calling out the Guerillas on the mic. Flip Johnson, and Brutality are drawing a ton of heat from the soldout crowd at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania.
Flip Johnson: All this talk about... #1 contenders for Tag Titles. All this complaining, and bitching, and moaning over the last few months... has made me down right sick to my stomache. Here me, and Brute are.. waiting for our opponents to say something, to test the waters, and see what they got-- but, they're afraid. The Guerillas are dodging us. And I don't blame 'em! After the way we attacked them at Xtreme Mania: Decade.. I don't blame those lousy sum'bitches one bit. But, if they want to talk about the greatest Tag Team ever.... look no further. Because, The Wreckin' Crew is the greatest tag team champions to ever step foot in this arena. We are the baddest in the buisness, and The Guerillas have always been jealous of that. Even after their Hall of Fame induction, it wasn't enough. They provoke us, and then they sit, and hide like chumps. We are disgusted of them!!
Before, Flip could hand the microphone over to his tag team partner, Brutality -- The Guerillas come from the crowd, and pounce on The Wreckin' Crew....... they stomp 'em out of the ring, and the Wreckin' Crew hightails it back up the ramp. The crowd is really in to this segment. As The Phan picks up the mic and says, "So shall it be written… So shall it be DONE!
As The Phan hands the mic to his longterm tag team partner, Midnight Star.
And Midnight star suggests,
"Remember that we truly are at the NIPSE of the UNIVERSE!"
The crowd goes completely APE SHIT for these former Tag Team Champions, and we cut backstage where Mars is standing backstage with Bob Levy.
Bob Levy: Mars, what do you think about your return to the XWF tonight.. here, at King Of Xtreme?
Mars: You know Bob you ask an interesting question. But, it's quite obvious .. by my turnout tonight. That I've been waiting all my life to get back in the ring, and enjoy myself again. Sure, I'm a family man now, things have changed. But, one things remain the same.... my competitive edge. I'll see you out there, young Shiru!
Then we cut to Flo Stanley, with Shiru Vanchiez backstage.
Flo Stanley: Well, here's one man who hasn't been avoiding anyone all night. Shiru Vanchiez. Tonight, Shiru .. you've already had many up's and down's, and have yet to compete in a single match. What are you thoughts on all this King Of Xtreme controversy??
Shiru Vanchiez: You know, it has been quite the journey for me. You see, I haven't competed in the XWF in over 4 years now. But, I've always been a hardworker. I've always been willing to go above, and beyond my call of duty. A few months back-- some punk interrupted me, and got his wish to face me at a 'Shiru Vanchiez' Open Invitational. Now, he's backed out... then Sharper attacked War Machine, he was ousted for the tournament... putting me in his spot, .. that was until-- War Machine showed why he's the greatest wrestler in the history of this company! And right now, somewhere in this arena, or this city.. he has Matt Sharper strapped to him, and I don't envy that man. But, you see.. tonight's not about them. It was never about the controversy that surrounded King Of Xtreme, or the controversy surrounding me. It is about opportunity. It is about success. It is about capitalizing when the time is right. Right now, I'm bout to go in to the ring with an original Hall of Famer. Mars, who was inducted in the Hall of Fame back in 2005.. he has decided to return, and now is my chance to prove myself! ... Win, or lose.. you got to believe that Shiru Vanchiez is on his way to making his presence felt. That this is the night that I solidify myself among XWF legends. I will prove to be the perfect competitor. And show these people why I deserve to be here! .. Pennsylvania.. get ready for me. XWF, .. prepare for my return. Because, I'm completely ready for this, truth is I've always been ready for this moment!! ...Afterall, .. I am the Reason Fear is Experienced.
The crowd hoots and hollers for Shiru Vanchiez as he states his catchphrase, and heads towards the ring for the 2nd round of this "King of Xtreme" tournament.
Flo Stanley: Lets send it back to ringside with Jim Ross, and Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Back at ringside, the XWF commetators are breaking down the event.
Jim Ross: So many up's and down's so far, and we have yet to get to the meat of the scheduled card. We have the 2nd round coming up next, immediately followed by the One Year Slave/One Favor match ... between "TV MA" Mark Adkins, and Carlos Shotgun. Then we will get to our extraordinary Main Event planned for the evening.. a "Triple Threat" XWF World Championship encounter. Between the XWF World Champion - Jesse Jones .. Chris Falkenyork, and The Original. Three tremendous superstars.. who will risk it all in an Xtreme battle tonight.
Jerry Lawler: But, up next -- it's Shiru Vanchiez vs. Mars - in our 2nd round-- "King Of Xtreme" tournament......
-------------------------------------------
------------------------
The crowd watches that video package. As we fade back to ringside for our next contest.
2nd Round - Mars vs. Shiru Vanchiez -- Xtreme Rules Match! -- Winner moves on to the "King Of Xtreme" FINALS
Danielle Worley: Introducing first, ... he is The Man Behind The Legend.. he is Shiru Vanchiez!!
Shiru comes out to a nice pop from the crowd. He doesn't have them all on his side yet. But, he has a majority of people rooting for him in this tournament. He makes his way down the ramp, and looks very serious. As he bows before he walks up the ring steps, and then bows again before stepping through the ropes. He bows towards Danielle Worley, as she announces the man he will be facing next.
Danielle Worley: ... And his opponent.... he is an original XWF Hall of Famer, .... he is ... MARS!!!
The place is livid for this multiple- XWF World Champion.
Jim Ross: A man who has risked it all, and sacraficed his every being to becoming an XWF legend. Now, he's here to day to honor the fans, and to grace the XWF with his presence yet again.
Mars continues to make his way down the ramp, clapping fans hands, and pointing out various signs, such as, "G.O.A.T. = K.I.N.G."
Jerry Lawler: You know, I hate to say it J.R. But, if anyone has a chance against Mars-- it's Shiru Vanchiez. This kid is dedicated in his craft. He's toughnosed, he has an interesting background, a discplined up bringing. This man is a true competitor and he wants to prove it to the XWF audience tonight!
Jim Ross: Well, he'll have his shot that's for sure, and you got to give him credit. Taking on this tournament in such short notice. He didn't know what to expect. Now, he's about to get in there with who many feel is one of the greatest - if not -- "THEE Greatest Of All Time" .. Mars.
Mars finally enters the ring, and the State College, Pennsylvania crowd is very loud. The Beaver Stadium appears to be rockin' as those two come face-to-face for the first time. Shiru Vanchiez bows to Mars out of respect, and Mars gives him a half-nod. As both men seem real intense for their first time encounter, and this start of the 2nd round.
Jim Ross: This is what it's all about King. Two of the XWF's finest squaring off to see who gets to advance to the FINALS of this King Of Xtreme tournament. We've already had so many moments take place here tonight. I wouldn't be surprised by an upset.
Jerry Lawler: So, you're going with the underdog, Shiru Vanchiez?
Jim Ross: Now, I didn't say that. But, this match is about to be interesting to say the least.
Jerry Lawler: I agree with that assesment. It's anybody's tournament, they just have to own up to it right now!
Jim Ross: Lets send it to ringside for the start of our 2nd round KING OF XTREME tournament......
The match begins with the crowd on their feet, and chanting for both men. It seems the crowd is a bit split on this next contest. They're not sure who to root for in this one. The true Underdog, or the 2005 XWF Hall of Famer who has won multiple championships over his career? You could definitely feel the energy in the air.
Jim Ross: This is what KING OF XTREME is all about! We are in round 2, and as always.. expect the unexpected. Shiru Vanchiez has somehow found himself one step away from the Finals of this Tournament. Meanwhile, Mars put on a spectacular show moments ago, and is ready to go back to work!
Jerry Lawler: Give him much credit J.R. Alot of people were writing Mars off. Hampton got in his face back at our award show we had in May. While Mars decided to hold his ground, defend his honor, and his name... now he's in the 2nd round of this KOX tournament. Just one pinfall, or submissiona way.. from having a chance at winning this whole thing, and getting his prize-- the opportunity to get an XWF World Title shot!
Jim Ross: I was about to say, "it all comes down to this." But, there's still more on the way. I think it just feels like there's a lot riding on this match.
Jerry Lawler: This is the first match, I feel like.. I'm not sure who's going to come out the victor.
After a few seconds of build-up, and these 2 men staring each other down. The BELL finally rings, and these 2 begin circling each other in the ring. Sizing each other up, and getting a feel of the atmosphere. This truly will be a spectacular contest, and you could tell that as soon as they lock up in the middle of the ring. They start pushing on each other, and Mars finally over powers Shiru, driving him back in the corner, keeping a forearm lunged up against Shiru's throat. Shiru doesn't like this, and tries to work himself out of it. He finally does, and grabs Mars' arm putting it behind his back, and wrenching away at the former World Champion.
Jim Ross: Shiru has an unorthadox style, I think we'll see a lot of that tonight--
Mars reverses the arm bar, in to an arm bar of his own. He puts the pressure on Shiru, when out of nowhere, Shiru ducks, and rolls forward. He counters that move by Mars, and now has Mars planted on the mat, as he wrenches back on his arm yet again!
