Also, running through the many faces of the XWF Hall of Fame ceremony that took place. On to Xavier Phoenix vs. William Knighthawk's excruciating battle.

Now, we open up back LIVE! in Daytona Beach, Florida for this XWF event known as Showdown! taking place on HBO After Dark for only the 3rd time all year, and this is the first official Showdown! card that's taking place since December 12th, 2006. There is a certain buzz in the air as various signs are shown around 15,000 people gathered in the Municipal Stadium outside are on their feet, and celebrating this great XWF moment!!! Signs such as: "TV_MA", "York 5-0", "Bring back RAGE!", "The Original = FIRED", "Alex is NOT Cool Beans", "SHOTGUN", and "The Game cheats!!!" We then cut to ringside where Alex "Cool" Beans, and James Shaw are standing by for commentary.
What a night it was at "Xtreme Mania 6" just a couple weeks ago. We crowned new tag team champions, and .. a new XWF World Champion walked out as well ...
And here he comes Shaw!
"TV_MA" logo flashes on the titan tron, and the people go bizerk for this living legend!! Showdown! open up with "TV_MA" Mark Adkins coming down the aisle with the XWF World Title around his waist, and celebrating his XWF World Title victory at the Main Event for Xtreme Mania 6. He gets in the ring, and the crowd quiets down after a few moments of celebrating, and cheering him on!
You know! Xtreme Mania was a once in a lifetime experience for me! You see.. back at Xtreme Battle Zone I thought that was it! I thought I had captured the title, and I was finally the world champ. But, it didn't happen that way. Shotgun played me for a fool, and he got his wish. He won in his own hometown, and turned his back on his own people. But, NOT ME! I stuck to the game plan. I went in to Xtreme Mania with high expectations! I know my back was against the wall. Hell, everybody in this company could tell you that. From Tyroneus Del Rio, . to The Original.. all the way up to Gigantis .. they could tell you that!! But, I wasn't about to go down that easy. NOT without a FIGHT!
The XWF fans cheer him!!! He looks down at the belt around his waist, and unbuckles it. He takes it off, and holds it high in the air with both hands for the XWF crowd to see!! He's got on black jeans, and a tiger shirt. He looks, and feels good. You could see it in his eyes. As he wraps the belt back around his waist, and buckles it on.
Mark Adkins has finally acheived his dream of becoming the recognized XWF World Heavyweight Champion!!!
Now, I'm not going to make this about Shotgun. Even though he probably would like that, and that's what you people probably expect. But, it's more about me. It's more about my accomplishment! It's more about my ultimate victory over him, and walking out ... with something .. that I know he wasn't ready to let go. I'm the XWF World Champion now, and he's not.. and that eats him inside. We're both 2-time XWF World Champions now, and just so happen to be the guy with it currently around my waist ....
XWF fans POP more!
3 Stages of Death was hard. It was brutal. It took a tole on my body. But, I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon! I took the Championship off his hands... I ripped it right from his grasp, and .. York could .. take his one last match, and run... .. Shotgun could lick his wounds, and try to win that #1 contenders match next week. It doesn't matter much to me!! By "Independence Day".. when we come back here.. from Washington DC, .. and we air that Cyber Sunday show on HBO July 3rd!! I will be ready for whoever the opponent might be. Hell, I'd take it to someone tonight if there was anyone available! But, for now... your XWF World Champ.. is going to go to the back, and enjoy the show!! Lets see if these guys really do have what it takes. Lets see if anyone out there is willing to make a name for themselves tonight! Because, your WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION .. will be watching ... "thank you very much".
The crowd goes wild for "TV_MA", and he heads to the back with the XWF World Title around his waist. The crowd is in a frenzy, and when they see GM, Shawn Taylor on the screen it immediately changes to a chorus of boos. He gets a lot of heat backstage as we listen in on his conversation.
Backstage .. Shawn Taylor is fielding calls, ..
Yes, yes. I completely understand. But, no. . .. nope. Mr. Lucente isn't in tonight. I know! I know. I know.. trust me I know. Yeah, Carlos Shotgun isn't here either .... nope. He's not. Couldn't make it. I'm not sure why ? .. . ... and The Original isn't here either. .. yeah, that's correct. Well, I don't know what you want me to do about it? Damnit. We're LIVE! on HBO After Dark ...
We cut out of that office segment, and we cut straight to the video package for Showdown!

Backstage Gigantis gets ready with William Knighthawk wishing him luck..
J Wilk vs. Gigantis - Xtreme Rules -
The match starts off with J Wilk slapping the 7'5'' giant known as Gigantis. But, that angers the giant, and he starts taking it to J Wilk. He tosses him in the corner, and pummels him. He goes to work on him some more, and even tosses him head over hills over the top rope, and down to the outside mat!! J Wilk tries to sneak back in the ring, and do damage. But, he's unable to suplex the oversized giant, and instead Gigantis clubs him with a big right hand. After a few minutes of struggling to fight him off. Finally Gigantis squeezes J Wilk until the referee raises his arm 3 times, and all 3 times it drops. , the damage looks done, and Gigantis wins by submission!!!
Match Quality: 1 1/2 Star, Match Duration: 3 Minutes, and 28 seconds. Match Result: Gigantis via submission

Backstage Justice Legal claims after he disposes of LEEDS he has a HUGE announcement to make of his own!! Regarding the future of the XWF, and a stable that will shake this very foundation ....
"Insane Homicidal" Justice Legal vs. L.E.E.D.S - Standard Rules -
We have Leeds, and Justice Legal lock it up in the center of the ring early. It starts off looking like Justice Legal got the upperhand. He does a few nice hip tosses, and puts him in the sleeperhold. Justice Legal works the match over some more, and eventually goes up top. Leeds catches him with punch to the gut as Justice Legal goes for an axe handle smash! Leeds turns it in to a perfect plex. But, Justice Legal kicks out of the pin! Leeds go on the offensive, and nails him with some nice suplexes. He drills him with some solid elbow drops, and wear down submission holds. Justice Legal ducks a clothesline, and slaps on a sleeperhold of his own. He tries to get Leeds to tap out. But, Leeds reverses it, and begins working Justice Legal over in the corner. Justice Legal goes for irish whip. But, Leeds counters it, and sends him flying back first in to the turnbuckle. Leeds goes charging in but misses with the body splash. Justice Legal takes back control of the match, and almost scores a near fall. Justice Legal hits a piledriver, and almost gets a pinfall. He argues with the ref, and Leeds goes for his finisher a Pump Handle Cutter. But, Justice Legal reverses his way out of it, and hits Leeds with a standing drop kick. Leeds rushes back in -- however, he is caught out a nowhere with that jackhammer-like finisher known simply as the "JUSTICE HAMMER"!!! He drills him with that maneuver, and pins Leeds for the 1, 2, 3!
Match Quality: 2 1/2 Stars, Match Duration: 7 minutes, and 42 seconds, Match Result: Justice Legal via pinfall.
After match Justice Legal gets on the mic, and the crowd is growing restless.
You know. I'd like to take this time ... to talk about my future stable. A stable that has been in the works for quite sometime. A stable that will change the XWF forever, and put Justice Legal on the map!! But, first .. more importantly. Before the 'Dungeon Of Death' stable can take place. Before this group can form in to a formiddable force. There's someone I have to call out. There's someone I have to address. Someone that I feel I could relate to. Someone who is important to what is about to take place .. .. that man... .. is Crimson Tide!!!!
The crowd is shocked at this statement, and doesn't know how to respond.
By the way, I want responce by NEXT WEEK!!!
Justice Legal leaves the ring, and the people aren't sure what to make of all this.
We then cut backstage with J Wilk on the phone with Jon Hampton.
Yeah, .. it's not going well Jon. Yeah, not at all! I just left the General Manager's office, and he says next week I don't even have a match anymore. . ... Yeah, you're telling me pal. I don't know what to even say?? I mean, .. it's all my fault. But, what about you? When you going to be getting out, and getting yourself some help??
The scene fades off to an HBO advertisement for "True Blood" new season coming, HBO's hit movies such as "Grownups", and "Avatar". They mention that Showdown! will be airing next week on tuesday's HBO After Dark. Airing LIVE! from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Georgia on June 21st. Also, July 3rd for a Cyber Sunday Card the XWF, and HBO will be coming together for an event we are calling "Independence Day".
---- ---- ------ -
Backstage in GM, Shawn Taylor's office and he is speaking with "The Game".
Yeah, what is it?
In just a few moments I'm going to take Cliff Saxton out. Then what?
"Then, what?" You already know.. next week you face Gigantis ...
...well, ... thats old news. I want to move on to bigger, and better things ...
Lets be honest Game. Who's bigger than Gigantis? .... You know what?! I'll tell you what!! Next week if you win .. you will have the opportunity to name the type of match you have for our Cyber Sunday Card coming up on HBO ... on July 3rd for "INDEPENDENCE DAY" ...
Name the stipulation, huh? Alright, fine .. I guess I'll just have to do this the hard way then!!
We cut back to ringside, and suddenly Chris Falkenyork's theme music hits!! The crowd responds with a great reception, and out comes the former XWF World Champion, and the man who remained undefeated at Xtreme Mania extending his record to 5-0 after a huge win over The Original in a Last Man Standing match.
You know what? I am absolutely a man of my word, and even though I know that Lucente doesn't want to always live up to his end of the bargain .. though he spews a ton of shit, particularly in my direction ... well, I've taken it upon myself to step away from this buisness. To walk away from the XWF. Not until I got my victory though! Not until I extended by undefeated streak at Xtreme Mania .. to 5-0. Incredible! Not a single person could touch me on that stage, and I was well aware at what was at stake. So, beforehand ... I made a deal with the devil. I told Mr. Lucente. I told Mike! I said.. I don't care if your the owner.. active president.. don't mean shit to me! I have buisness to handle, and I was getting sick n' tired of the way he was conducting his buisness .. ... so, it was time to end it. Time to part ways, and say goodbye to a federation that I ruled for over a year!!
Fans cheer a bit! Remembering his title reigns.
I'm the longest reigning World Champion in XWF history .. among other things that people can't take away from me! And no matter what The Original says .. he wasn't close to harming my undefeated streak. I knew that's what he wanted, and he wouldn't get it! So, the bet was made... I told Mr. Lucente.. I didn't trust him. That THIS was the end. Regardless of what he tried to do, or say .. that I would never wrestle another match in XWF history! I was prepared not to even show up ... just to spite him, and the organization. But, then I decided something .. .... ... if I'm going to do this. I'm going to do it the right way. So, the deal was signed behind closed doors. Me, and Lucente agreed... if The Original somehow comes up with a fluke victory over me ... well, that was it ... I would have to come out, and admit that I was wrong. That I had made the mistakes. Even though it wasn't me at all. It was Lucente himself who ruined the vibe around here... who made me feel unwanted, and unneeded, and underappreciated. So, I said if I'm to beat The Original. Which I know I can do. Which I know I will do. Which I ended up doing. Just like I said I would!! Well, ... then it would still be by last match .. but, a little stipulation would be added to my contract. I would have creative control over my character, and I would have creative control as a Vice President of consultant so to speak ... meaning .. I could do, and say, and order anything I want. Except for the closing of this company. I can't do anything to put the XWF in jeopardy. Though being in Lucente's hands... I'd say it's already in jeopardy. But, while you won't be seeing me in this ring anymore... though I will take a hiatus .. starting this week. I'm going to enjoy my summer vacation! But, remember.. who has the power now. Remember who is in charge! Because, I FIRED The Original's ass at Xtreme Mania!! That REALY happend ...
People havie mixed reactions. But, most are cheering this latest rumor by Falkenyork!!
A lot of people might not believe it. But, it's true ... I FIRED HIS ASS on the spot!! That's why Lucente said he had to win. That's why Lucente knew he had no choice.. but, to accept his fate. That I BACKED him in to a corner, and he made his decision.. knowing full well the consequences! But, damnit. Doesn't it feel good to get the last word? The last laugh?? I could tell you from experience.. it does. To send The Original home packing on the night I get to watch him squirm on the mat ... on the night I end my career. At 5-0!! It doesn't get more better than that folks. Simply poetic justice if you ask me. But, .. enough of The Original. Enough of what took place at Xtreme Mania! It is DONE. You know who the true Last Man Standing is .. and there shouldn't have been a doubt in your mind. Now, now .. you got to ask yourself. What am I capable of? What will Chris Falkenyork do exactly? We already seen him send The Original back to the trailer parks ... who's next to go? What else will happen with me in power the next year?? Well, ..... that's something only I know. For now. YOU KNOW who THE BEST to EVER step foot in this company is!! And you're LOOKING at him.
Chris Falkenyork has a huge smile on his face in the middle of that Showdown! ring as we cut away from that scene.
***A video shows The Original is coming back next week to make a HUGE announcement of his own. Carlos Shotgun will also be back in action, and on hand next week in a #1 Contender's match for the XWF World Title!!!***
Backstage, "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton is buddying up with The Wreckin' Crew and asks them how they feel about tonight? Suddenly, Tyroneus Del Rio walks by, and says, "you guys have something in common .. you lost at Xtreme Mania, and I ... well, I won my match!!" The Wreckin' Crew doesn't take kindly to that, and Flip Johnson says, "Well just tune in later tonight for the Main Event, and you'll see what we do to that team you mealy-mouthed basterd!" That's when Cliff Saxton says see what's instore for The Game up next!!
---- -- ---- ---
Backstage with the XWF World Champion, "TV MA" Mark Adkins.
What is it Mitch? Yeah, of course. I'm real excited for this match later tonight. The winner goes on to face Shotgun next week at Showdown!, and we could only hope Sasha Shotgun will be in the crowd next week as well. Supporting her man, and that man being me. Because, she knows I have a grudge against Carlos, and she would love to see him lose a real important match ... like the one he's got coming up next week on Showdown! .... So, whoever wins this big triangle match tonight ... well, they got one more match to go to show the world they aren't just a bunch of rookies.
The Game vs. "Dangerous" Cliff Saxton - Xtreme Rules -
From the get go it is a very high paced match. The Game starts off dominating. But, Cliff Saxton takes this match outside, and regains control. A lot of weapons get pulled out in this match, and Cliff takes a kendo stick to The Game. While avoiding an attack from the sledge hammer. Cliff Saxton starts winning the crowd over with high spots, and almost puts The Game away with a few near falls. The Game comes firing back, and nails him with a great Sidewalk Slam! A high knee shot, and almost gets the Pedigree locked on. But, Cliff Saxton reverses the move, and instead almost pins The Game. It's a close match. Back-and-forth. Cliff Saxton is getting ready to set The Game up with his trademark move an Angle Slam known as "The Cliff Hanger"!! But, right as he goes to set up The Game with that move. Out walks Tyroneus Del Rio down the ramp. That's enough to distract him long enough for The Game to wiggle out of that move. One kick to the stomach later, and The Game plants him with a Pedigree in the center of the ring!!! He makes the cover, and gets the 1, 2, 3!
Match Quality: 3 Stars, Match Duration: 10 minutes, and 24 seconds, Match Result: The Game via pinfall.
Backstage, we got Falkenyork, and Taylor arguing ... in walks Caleb Cross, and Alex Anders. York examines the two men, and holds his hand out to GM, Shawn Taylor saying 'he got this'.
Just the guys I wanted to see! Tonight .. you 2 are forced in a Loser's Leave Town match!
Alex Anders gets pissed, and storms off out of the office. Caleb Cross bites his tongue at first, and then says something straight to Chris Falkenyork.
You're bias, .. you're just upset I challenged you to a match at next year's Xtreme Mania!!
Listen, I didn't even know you challenged me to any match. I was probably too busy working out the new details of my contract with Lucente. The real reason I had this match signed the way it was .. because, I'm just tired of seeing the letters WWG in his company! I am fed up!! So, tonight .. hopefully ... Caleb Cross ... you can answer the call.
Caleb walks off, while York, and Taylor share a moment.
-- -------- ---- -
We cut to Willaim Knighthawk, and Gigantis speaking, and they seem in good spirits for tonight's events.
What do you think Gigantis? I mean, you were able to bounce back from the travesty that took place against you at Xtreme Mania 6. Now, it's my turn to turn it up a notch. To prove it wasn't some sort of fluke. That I am ready for the big times! That I was born to be an XWF superstar. Tonight, if I win ... I get to go up against an XWF Hall of Famer for the #1 contendership. What an honor that would be. I mean, I don't think anyone could stop me ? I just don't see that happening .. not tonight. ...
Gigantis nods his head in agreement, and we cut back to ringside for our next matchup.
Caleb Cross vs. Alex Anders - Xtreme Rules -- LOSER LEAVES TOWN MATCH now!
This match starts off as expected. Anders at first avoiding the action. Caleb Cross forces him to fight, and eventually takes control of this match early on. Caleb Cross looks good out there, and showcases his talents in his single's debut in the XWF!! Fans respond to him well, and he is letting Alex Anders have it. Alex Anders tries to fight back, but he just isn't able to do anything offensively in this matchup. Eventually Caleb Cross wears him down going for a “Cross Fire” (Elisha Express, Running double knee to the back with opponent facing the crowd in the corner). That move helps set up his finisher "The Final Warning“ (Inverted Overdrive)!!! That move rocks the ring, and wakes the XWF crowd up!! They hop to their feet in excitement as he makes the clean pinfall, and Caleb Cross wins this Loser Leave's Town match fair, and square..
Match Quality: 1 1/2 Stars, Match Duration: 4 minutes, and 12 seconds, Match Result: Caleb Cross via pinfall.
Afterwards, Nick Zander comes down the ramp, and grabs a hold of his buddy Alex Anders. They hold each other crying. As Alex Anders, and Nick Zander leave up the ramp the XWF crowd gives them a proper exit .. singing that familiar song in unison..
"na na na na.. wavvvvee.. goooodbyye"
"na na na na.. wavvvvee.. goooodbyye"
"na na na na.. wavvvvee.. goooodbyye"!!
We cut Backstage where Xavier Phoenix is standing by with Flo Stanley.
I'll tell you what Flo. I know exactly what is coming up later tonight. I know this is the biggest match of my life so far, and in such a short time for me here in the XWF. I know the XWF must have saw talent despite the upset that took place at Xtreme Mania 6. I tell you one thing, I promise to avenge my loss against Knighthawk. I hope to win this Triangle Match tonight, and go on to face Carlos Shotgun next week in a #1 contender's match!!
He heads for the ring, and gets ready for that big match!
------ -- -- ----- --
Backstage, the ReArrangers are shown with their tag team belts.. they are happy about where they are at, and think they will keep their belts tonight in the MAIN EVENT!!
William Knighthawk vs. Tyroneus Del Rio vs. Xavier Phoenix -- Winners faces Carlos Shotgun for #1 Contendership -
This match is EPIC. We see a classic staredown to start this one off, and the fans are hot from the get-go! They are all on Knighthawk's side. But, a few fans are pulling for the other guys as well. All of them hit some big spots in this matchup. Del Rio, and Phoenix initially team up against Knighthawk. But, after awhile it's Phoenix who quickly turns on Del Rio! Phoenix hits him with a nice superkick, and almost puts him away with a pinfall. Knighthawk then wears on Phoenix, and almost gets him to submit!! Del Rio tosses Phoenix out of the ring, and goes to work on "The Dark Prince" William Knighthawk. It is Tyroenus Del Rio who stays in control of the match for awhile. He hits his trademark move, and almost pins Knighthawk with that STIFF KICK to the head! But, Knighthawk kicks out!! Xavier Phoenix gets involved back in the action, and takes it to Tyroneus Del Rio at first. When he directs his attention to William Knightawk. It is Knighthawk who almost rolls him up for a pinfall. But, Del Rio breaks it up! The first one who scores a pinfall, or submission will be the WINNER, and the match will be officially over. So, nobody could afford to have someone else get pinned in this contest! It's a Triangle Rules match. Del Rio works Knighthawk out of the ring, and Phoenix joins in on the beat down!! They both take it to William Knighthawk. Phoenix turns on Del Rio again, and almost pins Tyroenus after a great Crossbody from the top rope!! Tyroneus reverses a couple arm bars, and slaps on his finisher the Cross Arm Bar!! But, Phoenix gets to the ropes. Del Rio doesn't want to release the hold. But, he does. Knighthawk springboards in to the ring, and clotheslines Tyroenus Del Rio to the mat. William Knighthawk scoops Xavier Phoenix off the ground, and connects with a Craddle Piledriver!! But, Xavier Phoenix kicks out just in time!!! Tyroenus Del Rio goes back to work on Knighthawk, and sends him in to the corner. Knighthawk tries to fight out of it. But, Phoenix joins the fray, and it's another double-team on William Knighthawk. The fans are growing anxious as the Wreckin' Crew comes out on the ramp. William Knighthawk fights off both men by ducking under a double-clothesline, and coming back double-clotheslining both of them out!! All 3 men lay helpess on the canvas. Knighthawk puts an arm over Phoenix but he gets a shoulder up on the 2-count!! Tyroneus Del Rio tries to latch on for a Cross Arm Bar. But, Knighthawk rakes his eyes, and hits him with a Craddle Piledriver!! He crawls over, and puts an arm on his chest. However, Tyroneus Del Rio gets a foot on the rope!!! Xavier Phoenix sends William Knighthawk over the top rope, and down to the outside of the ring. Tyroneus drills Xavier with a nasty Enzuiguri. But, Phoenix kicks out of the pinfall. Del Rio is about to latch on his Cross Arm Bar finisher when he notices the Wreckin' Crew at ringside. He yells some nonsense out to them, and turns right in to a "Drama Club" spinning kick to the skull!!! Tyroneus Del Rio is laid out, and Xavier Phoenix makes the cover, 1, 2, .. William Knighthawk slides in the ring, and crawls for it .. but, Phoenix is able to pick up the 3 count!! Xavier Phoenix has won the match, and William Knighthawk is in udder disbelief. He was THAT CLOSE to winning this match. He had Tyroneus Del Rio put away. But, couldn't get the pinfall in time!! And he was just out of reach from stopping that pinfall by Xavier Phoenix. Instead, it'll be Phoenix who goes on next week to face Carlos Shotgun for that #1 Contender's match, and the other 2 are going home empty handed.
Match Quality: 3 1/2 Stars, Match Duration: 12 minutes, and 49 seconds, Match Result: Xavier Phoenix via pinfall.
Backstage, Justice Legal asks Caleb Cross if he wants to be a part of his group.. throw on a trenchcoat, some facepaint maybe .. Caleb says "no thank you. I'll be flying solo!"
