Kelsey Marxx vs. Rachael Manning - Standard rules -
We have Rachael Manning already in the ring, and Danielle Worley announces her opponent. It is Kelsey Marxx who is making her XWF debut here tonight! She comes out to a decent ovation from the crowd, and she runs down to the ring. Marxx slides inside, and Manning wishes her luck here tonight! They quickly shakes hands, and the referee Amari Scottsdale decides to call for the bell. DING DING!!
We've got the young Rachael Manning, against the debut of Kelsey Marxx .. this women's division is starting to heat up!
I didn't know Mr. McMahon started taking in strays ..
What do you mean King??
Puppies J.R.!! PUPPIES!!!
Kelsey Marxx, and Rachael Manning lock up. Marxx works Manning back in to the ropes, and puts a forearm in her throat. The ref counts her off, and Manning backs up to argue with him. She walks forward in to a boot by Rachael Manning followed by a Swinging Neckbreaker! She lays her out with that move, and goes for the pin. 1, 2, kick out!
Nice kick out by Kelsey Marxx after Rachael Manning hit her with that devestating Swinging Neckbreaker!!
Both women slowly getting to their feet, and Rachael Manning irish whips her in to the corner! Manning charges in, and Marxx throws an elbow in to her face. Marxx then mounts the top turnbuckle, and as Manning turns around she leaps off for a beautifully executed Hurricanrana! She then covers her up for the 1, 2, kick out!
That was close. Can't believe she pulled off that Hurricanrana so well!
That's why she's part of this Women's Division J.R. .. simply the best!
Marxx picks her up by the hair, and backs her in to the corner. She delivers a hard chop. "Wooo!" She gives another hard chop. "Woooo!" She backs up, and goes in for a Spare. But, Rachael Manning leaps up, and holds on to the top ropes for leverage. Marxx cracks her shoulder on the post, and Manning rolls over top of her for a Sunset Flip in to a pinning combination!! Rachael Manning has her pinned down for the 1, 2, kick out!!
Thought she had her there J.R.
Kelsey Marxx rolls to a knee by the ropes, and she looks furious. Rachael Manning is slow to get to her feet, and when she turns around Marxx charges with a hard Clothesline! She takes Manning down, and backs up as Manning gets off the canvas-- Kelsey Marxx delivers another hard Clothesline! She then does a Quick Leg Drop across her throat, and covers her up for the 1, 2, kick out!!!
Fans starting to get more in to this one!
Both women roll to their feet. Kelsey Marxx goes to hit her across the face. But, Manning blocks the punch, and rakes Kelsey Marxx's eyes. She then kicks her in the gut, and delivers the Bimbo Breaker!!!
She hits her with that finisher!! She nails her with that Hangman's Neckbreaker!
Rachael Manning covers her 1, 2, but Marxx gets a foot on the rope! Manning starts celebrating, and the ref informs her it isn't over. So as she turns around- Marxx finds her mark with a boot to the gut on Manning, and then pulls her in for her finishing move the Tornado DDT!! Kelsey Marxx plants Rachael Manning in the center of the ring, and gets the 1, 2, 3! The fans errupt, and nobody can seem to believe how quickly that all turned around!!
Marxx has won in her debut, and Manning falls to 0-2 in the Women's Division so far.
Tough start for Rachael Manning. I thought she showed the most promise of any of these women we've signed .. just hasn't been easy for her thus far. Almost picked one up here tonight! Give all the credit to Kelsey Marxx. She makes her presence felt in her debut!
Kelsey Marxx backs her way up the ramp, and raises her hands in the air laughing. Rachael Manning points out at her, and Marxx points back!! These 2 look far from over.

"Cyber Sunday" FLASHBACK:
****After that opening bout we have a flashback of Hawking Ripper winning on Cyber Sunday against "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton. It was a great back, and fourth match. It was a Hell in a Cell for the ages, and it was voted on by the XWF fans. However, in the end Hawking Ripper used a fluorescent lightbulb to smash over Cliff Saxton's head, and then followed that up by forcing him to tap out in the Anaconda Vice!!! We end the highlight with him retaining his Xtreme Title, and raising his belt high in the air!****

Backstage Lady Gaga, and Heather Black are both rubbing down The Dark Stranger's shoulders. He looks like he is getting lose, and feeling good about his next matchup against Mayhem. But, he also has something else on his mind.
The Dark Stranger: A lot of people fail to realize what is happening around here. Tonight I got a match against a man looking to make his debut in the XWF. It was around this time last year,.. that I made my debut, and I defeated Ryan Ryder in the center of the ring!! Flash forward to Xtreme Mania .. where we captured the XWF Tag Team Titles in a Gauntlet match .... but, that wasn't enough for Ryan Ryder. He was never satisfied as my partner! Meanwhile I felt like he didn't deserve to be mine .... I had enough of his bullying. I had enough of his jibber jabber. He didn't like my girlfriend Heather Black from the start ... he never liked Lady Gaga. And look at them! They are the greatest 2 women in the world ..
They both flash smiles at the camera as they continue to rub down Dark Stranger's back, and neck.
What it comes down to I believe .. is Ryan Ryder was jealous of me. Now that I'm with a more dominate group. Now that I'm paired with the S.O.S. Well, that just doesn't sit well with Ryan Ryder, or anybody for that matter! Lets make one thing clear... last week.. you were lucky!! But, judging by that DARKNESS FALLS that I delivered to you after the match ... seeing as how you aren't booked this week-- I say I did my damage!! But, it's not over. This is far from over Ryan Ryder!!! And to all those watching around the world. To all the people in Detroit, Michigan here tonight .... I promise hell for Ryan Ryder. "YOUR SOUL IS MINE!!!!!"
The Dark Stranger stops receiving his massage, and stands up from the bench he was sitting on. He looks to be heading out for his match with Mayhem.
--------------------
Justice Legal is shown trying to get in thru the parking garage area. He is arguing with a Security Guard out there.
Justice Legal: Let me in here!! I have a right to be in there ..
Security Guard: Sir, I'm on STRICT orders.. not to let you in sir. You're going to have to leave!
I'm not going anywhere!!! I'm getting in this damn building tonight .. weather you like it or not!
Suddenly Mr. Lucente walks up, and the people in the Joe Louis Arena can be heard POPPING as they watch this LIVE! on the titan tron.
Mr. Lucente: What the hell do you want Legal??
I want you to stop. I don't want you to keep stroking this storyline .. I don't want to take LEGAL ACTION. I just want to come back, and compete in the XWF. I just want to get back in the ring! I want to get in there .. tonight!!
Must I remind you. Hell, must I remind you Justice Legal ... this isn't a storyline! You had your chance to win a match, and get me in the squared-circle... you tried to get me in a match for the first time in my life ... I'm an XWF President, I'm the OWNER for Christ Sake! And you Justice Legal ... you .... you're FIRED. Remember that! .. . .. Get him off my property ....
No! No!!! You can't do that to me. Mr. Lucente turn around, and look at me!!!
But, Mr. Lucente just keeps walking away with his back towards Justice Legal who is standing in the doorway with 4 security guards in front of him.
Lucente!!!! Oh it will be worse!! It will all be worse now for you Lucente .. .... you will all be SIMPLY EXECUTED!!!!!
Justice Legal is fuming, and he storms off away from the arena. As he's walking down the street some Detroit, Michigan guy tries to mug him on the street corner. But, Justice Legal kicks him in the gut, and delivers the Justice Hammer on the sidewalk!!!! We cut back to inside the Joe Louis Arena as that last scene ends.
The Dark Stranger vs. Mayhem - Standard rules -
A newcomer named Mayhem is making his debut in the XWF, and he's in the ring already. Danielle Worley announces his opponent, and the crowd begins to stir. As flames begin shooting from the ramp, and outcomes this monster known as The Dark Stranger. He comes to the ring with Heather Black, and Lady GaGa. The crowd looks like they know what is about to happen here.
Look at this, would ya?
What do you mean??
You've got this new guy .. Mayhem. You've got The Dark Stranger with his girlfriend Heather Black, and.. would you get this .. his #1 fan .. Lady GaGa here tonight!!
That he does.
He recently joined the Skeletons of Society. And after that Strap Match against Ryan Ryder last week ... well, it looks like someone has hell to pay. Mayhem might just be the guy in the way . ..
Well Jake Evans is the referee, and he's calling for the bell .. this match is set to begin here .. ..
Without hesitation. The Dark Stranger makes an example out of Mayhem. He beats the poor man down in center of the ring. He just throws over hand after over hand at him! The referee Jake Evans tries to step in the way. But, no-- The Dark Stranger shoves him aside, and rushes up putting a HUGE BOOT to the skull of Mayhem! That newcomer is laid out, and The Dark Stranger hovers over him. Heather Black claps her hands, and laughs out loud at the poor young man named Mayhem. She plays to the fans, and tells them all to "Shut up!" as they boo her. Lady GaGa rolls her eyes at everyone, and cheers The Dark Stranger on.
Well, this is rather strange ... Lady Gaga, Heather Black.. showing their support at ringside, and The Dark Stranger seems to be feeding off of it somehow!!!
The Dark Stranger picks Mayhem up by the throat, and quickly Chokeslams him back to the center of the ring!!! He hits him with that finisher known as "The Darkness"!!! The crowd marks out hard for that finishing maneuver!! But, The Dark Stranger isn't done there. The referee urges him on to just finish him, and cover him up for the pin. But, The Dark Stranger isn't haven't it! He picks this kid Mayhem off the ground, and sets him up for this Tombstone type of finisher.
He's about to hit him with "DARKNESS FALLS", and he DOES!!
He drops the young man on his head, and folds his arms over his chest. He makes the easy 1, 2, 3 pin!!!
.. he destroys Mayhem!!! .. Wait, what's this ??
Ryan Ryder rushes down the ramp, and he rushes in the ring. He tackles The Dark Stranger out of nowhere, and they begin rolling around. They fall out of the ring, and keep strangling each other on the outside mat. The Dark Stranger claws his eyes, and crawls away from there. The Dark Stranger gets to his feet, and begins using the outside barrier wall to stand to his feet. Ryan Ryder comes out of nowhere, and goes to do a Crossbody Dive! But, The Dark Stranger catches him, and tosses him up over his head for a crazy Belly to Back Suplex in to the crowd!! Ryan Ryder crashes in to a few bodies down front, and The Dark Stranger steps over the barrier giving chase. Lady Gaga, and his girlfriend Heather Black are encouraging him to destroy Ryan Ryder next!! Instead they start firing shots at each other, and they begin fighting through the arena ...
Match Grade: D+, Match Duration: 1 minute, Match Result: The Dark Stranger via pinfall.
Backstage, we cut to The Ray with Flo Stanley.
The Ray: Listen Flo. I know you want to be one of the Floskis out there .. rooting for me tonight! But, listen here. Tonight isn't about anybody else. It's all about me, and what I could do. What I should do. What I'm really about to do to the "so called" Savior of the XWF! I'm going to tear him limb from limb. Much like I've done to Xavier Star, and all the rest. Who's the guy who burned Jerry "The Weasel" Lawler?? Me! That's right ... and tonight .. Flo. I'll do what it takes to keep this streak going. Because, that's how I roll!
The Ray gives an evil smirk to the camera, and sheds some light on his new twisted persona. He's getting ready to go out there, and face Josh Davis for the first time ever in an Xtreme Rules matchup.
"The Savior" Josh Davis vs. The Ray - Xtreme rules -
Danielle Worley is in the ring, and she announces "The Savior" Josh Davis first! He receives mixed reaction from this soldout crowd in Detroit, Michigan as he makes his way towards the ring. She then announces The Ray, and he also comes out to mixed reactions from the crowd. More people seem to be in support of Josh Davis, and a majority of this crowd appears to be giving The Ray some heat. However, they are both still relatively unknown to the XWF fans, and they are now face-to-face in the ring for the first time ever.
This should be a good one!
The referee Amari Scottsdale calls for the bell DING DING!! They both circle each other a moment, and then quickly lockup. Josh Davis wins the battle of strength early on, and shoves The Ray back a few feet. But, they lockup again, and The Ray shoves him back a few feet now. Josh Davis gets mad, and rushes in-- only to get an ARM DRAG for his troubles!! The Ray then wears down on that shoulder of Josh Davis, and the referee checks on him. The crowd boo's The Ray, and tries to get behind Josh Davis!! He starts getting to a knee, and begins punching his way out of that hold. The Ray fires back with a kick to his mid-section, and goes for a Swinging Neckbreaker. But, Josh Davis blocks it, and spins The Ray back around. He knees him in the stomach, and then sets him up for a giant Suplex!!! He lays The Ray out, and makes the early cover. 1, 2, kick out!
Early kick out by The Ray!
You know .. to tell you the truth J.R. I still really can't stand this guy, and what all he stands for. Sure he might have got me in that one Inferno match. But, truth be told.. .. he is just setting himself up for failure. If he thinks he is going to keep this momentum going towards Christmas, and in to the new year of 2012 .. I think he's got a wake up call coming!!
Josh Davis backs The Ray in to the corner, and kicks him in the gut. He gives him a solid uppercut, and then goes to place The Ray on the top turnbuckle. He sets him up there, and punches him hard across the face. Josh Davis out of nowhere then leaps up, and executes a huge Hurricanrana!!!! The XWF crowd marks out for that move, and "The Savior" Josh Davis turns it in to a pinning combination even. 1, 2, kick out!!!
Ahh! I thought he had him for sure.
Josh Davis stays on the offensive, and pushes The Ray up against the ropes. He goes to irish whip him across the ring. But, The Ray hits the brakes, and reverses it! Josh Davis bounces off the ropes, and runs in to a Spinning Powerslam by The Ray!!!!! He slams Josh Davis down with authority, and hooks the leg. 1, 2, kick out!! The XWF fans are happy to see Josh Davis stay in this one! The Ray stands up, and mocks the fans who begin to BOO him louder now! He picks Josh Davis up by the hair, and delivers a sharp elbow to the back of his spine! Josh Davis falls to a knee, and The Ray backs up a step before running forward with a hard KNEE to his chops!! He lays Josh Davis out with that knee, and covers him up again. 1, 2, kick out! The crowd cheers, and The Ray looks unhappy. He argues with the ref, and then goes back to pick Josh Davis up.
The Ray needs to focus on the match! Concentrate on your opponent.. don't worry about everyone else ... .. maybe then .. maybe then he could learn to be a great competitor.
You really don't like the kid do you King??
The Ray goes for a Back Breaker on Josh Davis, and connects! He covers him up again for the 1, 2, foot on the rope! The Ray grabs Josh Davis by the head, and throws him in a Side Headlock! He wears on him, and squeezes the energy out of Josh Davis. But, he refuses to tap, and as he begins to fade away he actually fights back!! Josh Davis breaks the hold, and rolls out of the way. The Ray gets to his feet, and backs up in to the corner. He signals for his finisher, and goes for that Rough Ryder!!! But, Josh Davis ducks out of the way, and avoids that Jumping Leg Lariat. The Ray turns back around, and walks in to a Super Kick by Josh Davis!! That hard shot drops The Ray to the canvas. But, Josh Davis isn't done there.
Davis should look to pin him here. But, instead he is picking him back up... looking to maybe go for that Twist of Fate finisher of his ..
The Ray tries to use ropes as leverage to stagger to his feet, and when he turns around-- "The Savior" Josh Davis boots him in the stomach! He then goes to set up for a Twist of Fate, and yells out to the fans before going for his finishing maneuver. But, instead The Ray slips the hold, and rolls up behind Josh Davis. The Ray goes for school boy pin, and holds the tights at the last second for the 1, 2, 3 out of nowhere!! The fans immediately begin to boo him, and give The Ray a lot of heat as he rolls out of the ring.
Of course, the loser gets away with another one .. .
The Savior is upset at that huge loss to The Ray. He demands a mic from Danielle Worley, and she produces him one. Josh Davis approaches the center of the ring, and stares down at the microphone in his hand. He looks up the crowd who is roaring in excitement from what they just saw.
"The Savior" Josh Davis: That feel good? That adrenaline rush you all get from watching a match.. is it flowing through your veins right now? While we pour it all out in this ring. On this canvas right here. Well, I've had enough. Enough is enough they say, and you're damn right it is time for a change. So, by the grace of Owen Hart.. may he rest in peace... and anyone else .. who thinks they want to make a name for themselves. Well, .. I challenge anyone who wants a piece of me at Season Beatings!! Who wants to take on the "Cool Mutha F*cka" Josh Davis!? .....
The crowd erupts! They go nuts for Josh Davis, and he waits a responce from someone in the back perhaps. But, no one comes out right away.
Well, well, well, .. looks like we'll find out soon enough. I'll be waiting you're reply .. .
Josh Davis drops the mic, and begins heading to the back to a decent ovation from the fans in the Joe Louis Arena.
Match Grade: C, Match Duration: 3 minutes, and 11 seconds, Match Result: The Ray via pinfall.
Backstage Yarmouth Blade is standing by with Bob Levy.
Yarmouth Blade: Yeah, Bob. I just heard what Josh Davis had to say out there. I for one would take that challenge. Win, or lose here tonight.. I want Josh Davis at Season Beatings!! We will end this year right, and have me come out on top Christmas Day!! .... Josh Davis ... I'll see you there, and we'll find out if you really are the Savior!
Yarmouth Blade grunts, and then goes to head back to his dressing room to prepare for his upcoming match with "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton.

Alexis Diamond: Cyber Sunday. Well, on Cyber Sunday that Ashton Storm got exactly what she deserved!! I mean, after that cheap thumb to the eye. It was the least I could do. This week. Well, this week. If Storm thought that Diamond Driver was anything compared to what I do to her this week. She's dead wrong. Tonight, Storm really pays!

Both women putting on a show here tonight!
After a few minutes. It's Storm who tries to win by rolling her up, and grabbing thong for 1, 2, no kick out! Diamond complains the ref about her grabbing her thong. Ashton Storm then goes to grab Alexis Diamond by the hair. So, Diamond snaps, and tosses her out of the ring. Alexis Diamond then loses her temper in this Standard rules match.
She better calm down J.R. before she does something she regrets.
Alexis Diamond then pulls Danille Worley off her chair, and folds the steel chair up. She walks over to Ashton Storm, and CRACKS it over her back!! The referee DQs Diamond, and she throws a fit. She rolls in the ring, and argues with the ref. Ashton Storm barely gets up, and then snatches a mic. She holds her lower back, and back pedals towards the ramp. Ashton gets on the mic, and yells out to Alexis Diamond.
Ashton Storm: Hey! Girl. Quit your bitching! You should take that loss like a real woman, ...
Alexis Diamond didn't take too kindly to that.
Uh-oh J.R.!!

Standing by with Mitch Keller backstage it's Hawking Ripper.
Hawking Ripper: Well, I'll be the first to admit. With "TV_MA" returning the focus has been on the XWF World Champion, and not the fact that I was the first Xtreme Champion to defend this belt successfully. I beat up a lot of people to get here!! Tonight I'll add one more to my list, and we'll see what everyone was talking about in the first place ... ... Mike Dimter.. you are just a PUZZLE .. I ALREADY SOLVED!!!
You can hear the XWF fans mark out for this moment!!! As the Xtreme Champion known as Hawking Ripper makes his way towards the ring.
Hawking Ripper (xc) vs. Mike Dimter - Xtreme Title match - No DQ, No Countout -
We have Mike Dimter being announced to the ring first, and the crowd doesn't seem to like him here in Detroit, Michigan. He makes his way towards the ring, and looks to be as ready as ever. Hawking Ripper is announced next by Danielle Worley, and the crowd goes incredibly nuts for this man!! Hawking Ripper appears on stage with his Xtreme Title, and the crowd erupts!!!! He makes his way down the ramp, and gets in the ring. He shows off his belt to the fans, and hands it to the referee for the evening Amari Scottsdale. He then calls for the bell. DING DING!!
Will Hawking Ripper go 2-for-2, and defend his title successfully for the 2nd time in a row this week??
It'll be hard J.R. No doubt about it! Mike Dimter is no slouche.
But, the Xtreme Champion comes out firing, and Hawking Ripper gets the early lead in this one!! He starts wearing on Dimter, and getting the crowd to mark out for some of his moves! The crowd POPS as Hawking Ripper executes a Top Rope Leg Drop, and almost scores a pinfall!!
Close one!
Hawking Ripper stays in control, and uses the elements. He tosses Mike Dimter outside the ring, and ends up ramming his head in to the steel post on the outside. Hawking Ripper pounds on him in front of the fans standing up near ringside!! He claps a few fans hands, and goes back to work on Mike Dimter. Hawking Ripper rolls him in the ring, and hits a DDT on him! He hooks the leg for the 1, 2, kick out!!
Hawking Ripper one of the best newcomers of the year... he's had quite the run the last few months .. heading in to the home stretch here in 2011 ...
He sure has. Quite the surprise! Ever since beating Justice Legal in that Ambulance Match, he went on to beat Stephen Blood for the Xtreme Title, and on Cyber Sunday he won that Hell in a Cell encounter!!
Hawking Ripper goes to work on Mike Dimter in the corner, and suddenly Dimter rakes his eyes. He then delivers a Bulldog out of nowhere, and the crowd begins to boo him!!! He smiles, and goes to cover Hawking Ripper up for the 1st time all night. He gets the 1, 2, kick out! Mike Dimter not sure what to do next. But, looks to be setting him up for his finisher already. Mike Dimter wants that Liberty Bell. That's when "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton theme music hits, but he doesn't come out. That distracts Dimter long enough for Ripper to put the boots to him, and drill him with a great Snap Suplex!! Hawking Ripper then grabs Mike Dimter by the legs, and puts him in that Elevated Boston Crab known as "The Puzzle"!!
He's got him locked in it! He's got his finisher "The Puzzle" locked on!! He's got him!!
Mike Dimter taps right away!!! He can't escape that finishing submission hold, and Hawking Ripper retains his Xtreme Title. However, afterwards Cliff Saxton runs down the ramp, and the fans notice him. He ducks low by the apron so Ripper doesn't see him. Then as Hawking Ripper is leaning over the ropes to point out at his fans, and celebrate a little with them. Suddenly it's Cliff Saxton who smacks Hawking Ripper with this Billy Club over the top of the head.. boom! He lays him out, and then Saxton gets in the ring now. The crowd is boo'ing the shit out of him, and he starts stomping away on Hawking Ripper!!!
What is he doing?! What is he doing out here?!?
Mike Dimter finally gets to his feet, and he tackles Saxton from behind. He starts pounding away on Saxton! They roll around the ring brawling. Ripper slowly gets to his knees as the referees, and security run out to break this up!!
Match Grade: C, Match Duration: 6 minutes, and 2 seconds, Match Result: Hawking Ripper via Submission.
The match is over, and there is still chaos in the ring. However, backstage we have Mitch Keller explaining some things.
Mitch Keller: First off. I was just informed that Ryan Ryder, and The Dark Stranger were last seen fighting out of this arena!! Meanwhile.. we are in for a treat at "Season Beatings" now .. because I was just informed by Mr. Lucente himself that our main event for Season Beatings will feature the 3 men you just saw out in the ring. That's right.. for the first time ever.. in a special Triple Threat LADDER MATCH .. Hawking Ripper will put his Xtreme Title on the line against "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton, and Mike Dimter on CHRISTMAS DAY!! Back to ringside after this quick word from our sponsors. . .
The XWF presented by HBO After Dark, and sponsored by the good people of Axe Body Spray .. and Skittles .. "taste the rainbow". .
------------------
We return from a word from our sponsor as the cameras pan around the capacity crowd on hand. The stage lights and arena lights dim as the camera cuts to a shot of the entrance way. "Public Enemy #1" by Megadeth blares over the PA system as the crowd goes crazy.
Before the announcers can say anything, XWF's World Heavyweight Champion Mark Adkins makes his way out.
Jerry Lawler: Listen to this response!!
Jim Ross: My god TV MA has returned to XWF television!!
Adkins is sporting an Anarchist t-shirt, leather jacket, and World Championship on his shoulder. The crowd continues to go nuts as he makes his way down the eisle.
Jim Ross: Mr Lucente was going to call out the champion but it looks like Adkins did not want to wait for the owner!!
Jerry Lawler: Of course not. Adkins works on his own time. He could care less about what Mr Lucente does.
Adkins walks up the ring steps and enters the ring as the ring announcer hands him the microphone and exits the ring.
Jim Ross: Should be interesting to see what the champ has to say after being off television for fourty five plus days.
Adkins walks to the center of the ring and looks out towards the crowd. The crowd continues to cheer as the champion nods his head in approval. The music cuts off as Adkins drops the championship title to the side.
Mark Adkins: ........
The crowd continues to cheer as the champion gives off a very very subtle smile.
Mark Adkins: A lot of people have been asking me on various social networks .. Mark, why did you do it? You knew what the consequences would be if you were to attack Shawn Taylor. Afterall everyone saw the footage where he was associated with William Knighthawk. Did you not realize that doing such a thing could have gotten you stripped of your World Championship from being .. Unable .. To fulfill your obligations? These are tough .. Economic .. Times and do you realize that men and women would be paying to attend shows and not have the opportunity .. To see .. The biggest draw. The most controversial superstar in the history of this company? I could give a flying F U C K about my fans but if you've followed me you would know that .. I do whatever I want, whenever I want, HOWEVER I WANT!!! If I decided that this building that we're in right now needed to be burned to the ground .. Then you know that it's not just words coming out of my mouth. But I don't want to burn this building to the ground so everyone can just chill for a bit, heh heh.
Adkins reaches down and grabs a hold of his World Championship belt.
Mark Adkins: So we have this rule going around that the World Champion and the Xtreme Champion cannot touch each other out of conflict of interest .. We have this situation where I was unable to fulfill my obligation as an employee of this company at I'm still the World Champion. Now I hate to break it to Michael Lucente but Mark Adkins does not get played for a fool.
Jim Ross: Uh oh.
Jerry Lawler: What?
Mark Adkins: Where is Michael Lucente? Where is he? I want to know his "big plan" for me and who my next opponent is going to be!
Mr Lucente makes his way out through the curtains. To his left and right are members of security both wearing riot helmets.
Mr Lucente: Now Mark I knew that this might turn into a chaotic situation so I'm going to make sure that things do not go that way.
The crowd boos as Mr Lucente continues to make his way down the eisle.
Jim Ross: The boss has some backup just in case things get out of hand.
Jerry Lawler: With the way the champion is, Mr Lucente better have more then just two men in riot gear backing him up.
Mr Lucente: You have to realize something Mark. As much as you want to play the big shot note around here, I OWN you okay? The reason why your name is relevant is because of the company that employs you. This company will continue to the very end regardless of whether you're here or NOT!
Mr Lucente and his backup enter the ring as Adkins stands center laughing over the whole situation.
Mr Lucente: You think this is all fun and games?
Mark Adkins: I've been on vacation Mike. You know as well as anybody else that all the superstars here are a joke. I find it really amusing that the second I'm about to be cleared from suspension that Stephen Blood decides to call it a career. Was that even...
Mr Lucente: That does not matter right now Mark. We don't need to talk about that.
Mark Adkins: So who's the two guys you have here? Are they my current threats to my championship? Is that what this is? Is this all a ploy to catch me off guard? I would really hope that you've put some thought into this. Or maybe you really are nothing more than a dripping wet STD filled vagina that's shaking with fear. That I could just drop the hammer at any given moment without remorse.
Mr Lucente: It's to ensure that nothing happens .. To you.
Mark Adkins: We'll see about that.
Adkins takes a couple steps back and falls to the apron before sliding out.
Jim Ross: Is the champion walking away from all this?
Jerry Lawler: That's what it seems like JR. This is not the Adkins that we know though..
Adkins shakes his head before pulling out a couple smoke grenades.
Mr Lucente: What the hell are you doing?? What the hell are you doing??
Adkins pulls the pins and tosses them underneath the ring. The grenades start to smoke under the ring for a few moments as Mr Lucente looks dumbfounded.
Jim Ross: What's going on here?
A few more moments pass. One man starts to crawl out before another does. Both of them are coughing and hacking and having difficulty catching their breath. It's William Knighthawk and Tyroneus Del Rio.
Jim Ross: The SOS? What were they doing here?
Jerry Lawler: What do you think? This was all a big plan!
Adkins grabs one of the chairs from the commentary area. Del Rio gets to his feet and Adkins CREAMS him in the head with a thunderous chairshot! Del Rio goes down to his knees. Adkins takes another swing and smashes Del Rio right in the FACE! The crowd cringes at the loud echo from the second shot.
Jim Ross: How can you fake something like that? Tell me how you can do that!
Knighthawk tries to get up while catching his breath and Adkins smashes him in the back with the chair. Knighthawk stumbles forward into the guardrail with his head dangling on the side where the seats are. Adkins shrugs his shoulders and hops over looking like he wants to help him. Instead of helping Adkins grips Knighthawk by the head and hits a hanging cutter to the CONCRETE FLOOR!
Jim Ross: END ON FIVE TO THE FLOOR!
Jerry Lawler: End on Five? That was more like an End on Fifty or something, ha ha!
Crowd: Holy sh--! Holy sh--! Holy sh--!
Jerry Lawler: Well I think it's safe to say that Knighthawk and Del Rio are .. No more! Ha ha!
Adkins hops over the guardrail and looks up towards Mr Lucente who is about ready to lose his mind.
Jim Ross: What in the hell is running through the mind of the champion at this time?
Jerry Lawler: Whatever it is it is not good thoughts for the owner of the XWF!
Adkins slides back into the ring as Mr Lucente is shouting at the champion off microphone. The crowd is stirring wondering what the champion is going to do. The two members of security are standing by Lucente's sides.
Mr Lucente: Stay back! You know what? It doesn't matter right now! I thought you would like to know who your opponent was for our first pay per view of 2012 at "Total Annihilation"! Mark, at "Total Annihilation"...It is going to be MARK ADKINS defending his World Heavyweight Title...Against .. well.... you'll find out CHRISTMAS NIGHT!!!
Jerry Lawler: What???
Jim Ross: Christmas night?? Can you believe this??
Mr Lucente: But you know something? I figured right now? I'll give you an early Christmas present because I'm a nice guy like that! Merry freakin Christmas Mark! Guys, get him!
One member of security takes out a club and goes to attack Adkins. Before he gets a chance, the other member of security grabs him by the arm. The guy turns around and looks confused over all of this.
Jim Ross: What's he doing?
The guy that prevented the beatdown kicks the other member of security in the midsection. Set up, JACKKNIFE POWERBOMB!
Mr Lucente: What the hell are you doing?? This wasn't part of the..
Mr Lucente gets kicked in the midsection. Set up, JACKKNIFE POWERBOMB!
Jerry Lawler: What is going on here?? Adkins was about to get jumped and one of Mr Lucente's members of security stopped the attack and he just got..
The one security guy still left standing loosens a strap on the helmet. The gloves come off. Adkins looks over waiting. The helmet comes off, it's CARLOS SHOTGUN! The crowd goes crazy! Adkins is pointing over and starts shouting towards the Elite Savior! Shotgun drops the helmet on the ground looking over towards Mr Lucente and the member of security who is on the canvas.
Jim Ross: How will all of this go down??
Shotgun looks over at the other side of the ring towards the World Champion. Both men are looking at each other as the crowd cheers on.
Jim Ross: At Season Beatings... will Mr. Lucente be announcing Adkins versus Shotgun for the World Title?? Could it be the next chapter?!! We are out of time!!
