World Wrestling Xistence Presents…
WWX COLISEUM 2010
….
…
…
[Coliseum opens up in Lost Soul's make shifted locker room right outside the inner wall of the Coliseum. Lost Soul stands there talking with Sanders, one of the two Gold cases left sitting on a table beside them. As they continue their conversation a figure walks up behind Lost Soul.]
Lost Soul: I see you have finally arrived. I knew there was a reason I passed the torch onto you back at Two Front War last year.
[Lost Soul turns and standing in front of him now is a figure of a man known as Darkness.]
Sanders: I told Lost Soul you had decided to join us and he agreed that you would add to the dominance that the two of us already have here in the WWX.
Lost Soul: Now with you by our side we jut have to figure out what to do with this Gold Case.
Darkness: I have an idea that no one will be expecting.
[Darkness begins to explain his idea to Lost Soul and Sanders. By the time he is done Lost Soul and Sanders are shaking their heads in agreement. Lost Soul reaches over and grabs the Gold Case and hands it to Darkness. Darkness turns and walks out of the locker room.]
Lost Soul: Sanders, by the end of the night we will hold the majority of the titles in the WWX and dominance shall be ours.
[The camera cuts back to the announcers table for the first match of the night to get underway.]
Lane: What was that all about? Looks like Darkness just joined Riot Act.
Hart: Well I don't know if Lost Soul, Sanders and Darkness are any part of Riot Act anymore but whatever group they have formed now shall be a dominant force here in the WWX.
[The camera opens up in a corridor backstage at Coliseum. Several WWX technical staff are milling around and the odd intern rushes past. After a few seconds, Iceberg walks in to the picture. He is holding a map of the building, and alternates between staring at it intently and looking around confused.]
Iceberg: Where is my god-damn locker room?! This is ridiculous. It's like this map was drawn by a 5 year old!
[He walks on a few paces, the camera following him. He spots a door with a plaque reading 'Iceberg' screwed to it, and shrugs his shoulders.]
Iceberg: Guess this must be it.
[He opens the door and walks inside, closing it behind him. The camera stays focused on the door, and after a couple of seconds Ruben Ricardo León steps out from behind a nearby dumpster, behind which he had been concealing himself. He is grinning.]
Ruben Ricardo León: Hola, mis amigos! Right now you are going to find out EXACTLY what happens to people who cross me and then don't say they're sorry!
[He moves back over to the dumpster, opens it, and reaches inside. He pulls out a 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire. He returns to the camera, the grin even wider than it was before.]
Ruben Ricardo León: Well, that's not STRICTLY true... You won't know EXACTLY what happens, because believe me, they wouldn't be allowed to show it on network television at this time of night!
[He moves over to the door, but just as he goes to open it, almost as an afterthought, he pulls a can of lighter fluid from his pocket and douses the end of the 2X4 that is covered in barbed wire. He throws that in to the open dumpster, fishes around in his pocket and produces a zippo lighter, which he uses to light the 2X4. He turns back to the camera.]
Ruben Ricardo León: Now if you'll excuse me!
[León opens the door, walks in and shuts it again behind him. There are two clicks, one of the door locking and one of the lightswitch being turned off. Muffled voices can be heard therough the door.]
Iceberg: You?! What the?!
Ruben Ricardo León: Say hello to my little friend!
[There is a thunk, and the screams of Iceberg can be heard through the locked door as León lays in to him with the 2X4 as the scene fades.]
Hart: A brutal attack from León there. I hope Iceberg will be ok to compete later on.
Lane: I don't. That's what you get if you deny someone a win for no reason!
Hart: Well, either way, I'm just glad we didn't have to see it!
[The officials begin frantically signaling to one another as they begin searching the ringside area.]
Lane: What’s going on?
Hart: It appears as if the timekeeper’s bell has gone missing.
Lane: That’s odd.
The camera pans back around to the time keepers table and there stands Brytney holding the little hammer and shaking a finger at the time keeper. As Brytney climbs in the ring the lights go out and "One" by Metallica starts to play. After a few seconds the lights come back on. In the ring stands Darkness holding the Gold Case. Darkness grabs a mic from Brytney.
Darkness: I have been given this case by Lost Soul to do something that nobody in the WWX is expecting. Now, your all thinking that I'm going to use this case for my own gain, but you’re all wrong. This case belongs to Brytney.
Hart: What could Brytney possibly do with that case?
Lane: Well she could go after any title she wants to.
[Darkness hands the mic back to Brytney and unlocks the Gold Case and opens it. Brytney reaches in and pulls out a title belt and raises it above her head.]
Lane: Is that the Women's title?
Hart: It looks like it.
[Darkness grabs the mic back from Brytney as he tosses the Gold Case out of the ring.]
Darkness: WWX, I give you your new WWX Womens Champion, Brytney.
Hart: My God, the Womens title has been brought back after months of being on the shelf and it is in the hands of Brytney

Bonn: This gladiator match is scheduled for one fall...and IT IS FOR...THE #1 Contender's Spot for the WWX Television Championship!
*Crowd Cheers*
Lane: Well then, that means whoever wins this one will have truly proven to be worthy of becoming the next Television Champion.
Hart: Is that before or after the cleansing of the underwear?
As if on cue, "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart begins to play, a quick pyro of sparks flies out in two seperate streams and out struts Jimmy Love. Jimmy struts down the aisle, with a large coat-tailed green jacket and cane in hand, waving to all his "fans" who knows the sexy god he believes he is.
Lane: And here comes Jimmy Love. The fans clearly adore him.
Hart: But what's love got to do with him winning tonight's match?
He hops into the ring, arms out to his sides and lets his jacket slide off him, where he then struts in the ring, sunglasses slightly lowered to the bridge of his nose, he awaits what’s next with his typical |BLEEP|iness. As the lights begin to dim, he suddenly rolls out of the ring.
A silhouette appears at the entrance as the Underweartaker walks out slowly, with Shawl holding the almighty case of Tide, its glossy box shines next to the Underweartaker who scans the arena, the fans closest to him, backing up.
Lane: The fear that this man puts on the fans...its something el- Hart!? What are you doing?
Hart: Just making sure that I wore clean undies today before the match starts.
The lights go out completely, flashing once before coming back on completely, The Underweartaker stands in the ring, looking at Shawl who holds his all-empowering bottle of tide; Taker takes a knee and raises his hand to the Tide, and his eyes roll to the back of his head.
We go to Jimmy Love, who is half-way under the ring, looking frantically for something
Hart - What is Jimmy Love looking for? He's going nuts under there!
Love pops back out, and in his arms is a duffle bag filled with unknown contents. Love smiles and slides into the ring. He walks up behind Taker and confidently taps him on the shoulder. Taker slowly turns and stares down at Jimmy Love's smaller frame, and looks about ready to pounce on Love
Lane - Is he out of his MIND!? Love is about to be laid out by the Underweartaker and he's SMILING about it!
Taker takes a half step back and his arm snaps back, ready to annihilate Love with a stiff clothesline, however, before he can, Love rips open the duffle bag and dumps out the contents all over the ring floor. Taker looks down and his eyes go wide open as Shawl can be heard in his high-pitch falsetto
Shawl - Nooooooooooooo!
Hart - The contents of that duffle bag!!! It's UNDERWEAR, Lane! He just dropped what looks to be at least 40 pairs of underwear in the ring!!!!
Lane - Genius! Taker's entranced! And judging by the smell, those are not the cleanest undies in town!
Hart: Horrible! I might need a gas mask for this.
Taker drops to his knees, collecting all the underwear splashed in the ring, with a strange euphoric look on his face, as Love throws his own body against the ropes with all his might and comes flying back towards Taker, who is oblivious to anything around him than the tighty-whiteys in the ring.
Hart - Oh God, this could be horrible! It looks like Jimmy Love is about to nail Taker with his superkick, the Love Tap, and Taker has NO idea it's coming!
Love connects hard with a superkick to Taker's unsuspecting face; Taker's body contorts awkwardly like a pretzel, falling backwards, seemingly knocked out. Love collapses on top of Taker to attempt the pin.
Lane - This could be it!

2.8...
Immediately Love is pushed off of the Underweartaker, who sits up, now out of the spell casted on him by the soiled undies in the ring. He rises up to his feet as Jimmy Love, mad by the failure of his plan, hits the ropes. He runs back only to be tight grip of the Underweartaker, his gaze piercing Love's undies. Jimmy Love pleads and begs for mercy, his eyes bugged out. Taker groans in displeasure, before hoisting Love up for the Fruit of The Loom Piledriver. He walks over to the pile of dirty undies, with Shawl guiding him there in delight.
Lane: I can't watch this.
Hart: Love might wanna carry some air freshener with him.
Underweartaker hits Love with the finisher in the pile of dirty undies, getting a sound of pity and disgust out of the fans as Love is pinned by the Underweartaker

***Commercial***
[The lights in the arena go out and the fans boo as the opening strains of Vamo' Alla Flamenco hit the speakers. The Tron shows a Mexican flag fluttering in the breeze and as the music kicks in Red, Green and White searchlights sweep around the arena, finally focusing on Ruben Ricardo León, who is stood in the ring, arms spread-eagled, clearly reveling in the negative reaction that the crowd has given him. He leaps up on to the second rope and lets out a mighty roar. As he does so, Green, White and Red pyro goes off behind him, in the style of the Mexican Flag. Instead of his usual ring vest he is wearing a t-shirt with his mask on the front, and the words 'Welcome to the Lion's Den' emblazoned underneath.]
Lane: You have to say that León has the advantage in this match. He isn't known as the Lion for nothing!
Hart: I thought that was just cause it translated from his surname?
Lane: Yeah...well...shut up!
[León leaps down from the ropes, and crouches facing the ramp, waiting for his opponents.]
Jason Phillips Instrumental plays.
Jason Phillips' music starts and he walks out and raises his fists in the air.

Phillips makes his way to the ring and slides in the ring. He stands up and raises his fists in the air again.
A "rebel yell" is heard, bringing the crowd to its feet, and the strains of Sweet Home Alabama begin to play as Jayson King emerges onstage, his long curly blond hair blowing as he walks. He stops before heading down the ramp, to rub his brown goatee, then flips his hand to the side, as if throwing off sweat.
He high-fives a couple of kids on the way to the ring, and stops to steal a kiss from one of the fine young ladies at ringside. He climbs into the ring, turning around slowly, arms outstretched in his black leather jacket, black tights marked with RR (for Royal Redneck) and black leather boots.
He climbs onto a turnbuckle, chugs two "air beers," claps his hands, and jumps down.

Announcer: From Birmingham, Alabama, weighing in at 262 pounds... The Royal Redneck, Jayson King!!
Lane: I don’t get it. This looks like a standard match. What’s with the lion’s den??

Hart: Jason Phillips kicked out of the spear.
[León grabs Phillips and whips him towards the ropes. As he bounces
back León nails him with a dropkick, before picking him up again and
whipping him another time, this time straight at the referee, who is
knocked through the ring ropes to the outside. On his way to the ground
he hits Jayson King, and both are knocked down. After nailing Phillips
with another dropkick, León slides to the outside and feigns concern for
the referee for a few seconds, before shrugging in an exaggerated
manner. He reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a 2X4 wrapped in
barbed wire.]
Hart: Oh my God! That's just like the 2X4 he used to take out Iceberg
earlier!
Lane: Of course it is, all 2X4s look EXACTLY the same...
[León rolls back in the ring and throws the 2X4 to the ground, near one
of the turnbuckles. He picks up the downed Phillips, who is just
struggling to his knees, by his hair and drives him to the mat with a
DDT. Picking him up again he hoists Phillips so he is sat on the
turnbuckle, facing the ring. León then climbs the turnbuckle himself.]
Hart: I really don't like where this is going...
Lane: This won't end well for Phillips!
[León composes himself for a second, before leaping up and performing a
hurricanrana on Phillips, who is flipped head over heels, and lands
square on the 2X4 wrapped in barbed wire that León had placed in the ring.]
Lane: Wow!
Hart: Christ almighty, someone get an EMT down here, I think León just
snapped Phillips clean in two!
[Phillips, who is now bleeding from the back, jerks about in agony after
the barbed wire has finished lacerating him. He rolls out of the ring
to recover and regroup, still in obvious pain. León turns to the crowd
and unleashes a huge roar, hurling his arms backwards in celebration.
As he is doing this, Jayson King, who has also spotted that the referee
is down, slides in behind him with a chair.]
Lane: Look out, Ruben!
[King charges at León with the chair, who hears the thunderous footsteps
of the Royal Redneck, and turns around just in time to dodge the
chairshot and catch King with a drop toe hold, which plants King face
first in to his own chairs against the turnbuckle. León celebrates
again and the crowd let out a cheer.]
Lane: I think it's fair to say that the crowd doesn't like any of these
men, but they are really enjoying the brutality of this Lion's Den match!
Hart: I can't disagree with you there!
[León rolls to the outside and grabs the woozy referee, shoving him back
in to the ring, before sliding back in himself. When the referee points
at the weapons strewn in the ring, León just shrugs, rolling Jayson King
over and hooking the leg for the cover.]

Announcer: Here's your winner, Jayson King!!
{{cheer}}
Lane: That was the longest damn match I’ve ever seen. I need a nap now.
Hart: Jayson King is the number one contender for the AAA Title!!
***Commercial***
[The camera cuts to Kyla Bonn in the ring.]
Bonn: The following contest is a Retiarius Elimination Match, and will determine the number-one contender for the WWX INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! The rules are as follows: the three competitors will start on the outside of the ring, each armed with a net and cable leash. Eliminations can only occur by pinfall or submission, which can only take place in the ring; the competitors will have to make use of their nets and leashes to get their opponents into the ring and make the eliminations.
***CHEER***
Hart: Y'know, Gary, this match is a throwback to traditional gladiator contests, where the competitors were armed with nets and tridents.
Lane: You'd be right, Mike, but giving WWX Superstars a weapon like a trident is a horrible idea, which is why they'll be armed with cable leashes instead.
[The crowd launches into a chorus of booing and hissing as "Ill Bomb" by LL Cool J starts up. Dylan Johnson slowly walks out from the back, a cloak covering his face and shoulders. As the music picks up, he throws the cloak off and heads for the ring, rolling his wrists and sneering |BLEEP|ily down at the ring. Entering the ring, he takes a mic from a ring techie.]
Dylan: What a great day for the WWX! Finally, the greatest star on the roster has returned!
***BOOO***
Lane: Who's this guy think he's kidding?
[Dylan looks as if he's got more to say, but he's cut off as Tony Fardoza's music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DroeKngk3Gc&feature=related) starts up. The crowd gives him a decent pop as he sprints down the ramp and around the ring, peeling off his t-shirt and throwing it into the crowd before sliding into the ring, cautiously eyeing Johnson.]
Hart: Two rookies here, both looking to make an impact and become number-one contender.
[Animated speakers appear on the RavageTron, thumping to a building bass, then disappear as pyro streaks hit the staging and explode...along with them come the heavy guitar and industrial sounds of Uzumaki'sRUSH. The fans fly off their feet, cheering and roaring at the top of their lungs for Sanza Hedo. The music builds, Japanese rap lyrics piling over the industrial beat, and finally a ninja steps out of the back, bokken - traditional solid wooden practice sword - held high. The fans continue to blow the roof off, caught up in the electricity of the moment. An explosion of smoke appears on stage, then a twin of it in the ring. The ninja on the staging area is gone, and in the ring a ninja appears with the bokken held high. He pulls the ninja mask off, revealing Hedo's distinctive angular features and long black hair.]
Lane: He sure knows how to make an entrance, doesn't he?
Hart: That he does.
[The ref orders all three men to the outside, and ring techies hand them their nets and leashes.]
Hart: And here we go!
[All three competitors remain motionless, not wanting to make the first move and leave themselves open. Johnson and Fardoza both back away from Hedo, neither man wanting to tangle with the Oni from Osaka. Sanza picks his spot and starts to advance on Fardoza; as soon as his back's turned, however, Johnson drops his tools and charges, hoping to catch Hedo in the back of the head. However, at the last second, Hedo drops, ducking Johnson's intended clothesline, and Johnson sails right into a right hand from Tony Fardoza!]
***CHEER***
[Johnson is spun around taken down by a Legsweep from Hedo!]
Hart: Down goes Dylan Johnson!
Lane: Man, that couldn't have backfired worse!
[Hedo and Fardoza begin trading shots on the outside; Tony ducks a shot from Sanza and pits around him, but catches a sharp back elbow regardless of his positioning. The Oni follows up with a sharp series of kicks to Fardoza's legs and finishes with a drop toehold that has Fardoza faceplanting on the outside mats.]
Hart: Sanza Hedo, staying dominant.
[Hedo starts to turn, and Dylan Johnson takes him out with a heavy clothesline, following up with a series of brutal strikes to the face. Johnson lifts Hedo up and rolls him into the ring, quickly following after and attempting a pin.]
1...KICKOUT
Lane: It's gonna take a LOT more than that to put Sanza Hedo away.
[Fardoza gets to his feet on the outside and slides into the ring. He measures Dylan from behind and charges; however, Dylan evades a clothesline and hits the far ropes, coming back and catching Tony Fardoza with a Spear!]
Hart: Spear to Fardoza!
***BOOOO***

Lane: Fardoza kicks out!
[Dylan gets to his feet. Hedo lunges at him from behind, grabbing him by the tights and throwing him out of the ring. Hedo then turns, sees Fardoza getting to his feet, and blasts him in the head with the Long Kick Goodbye (Leaping Corkscrew Hook Kick)!]
Lane: Jesus, right in the temple!
[Cover by Hedo...]

Hart: And Tony Fardoza has been eliminated! It's now down to Sanza Hedo and Dylan Johnson!
[Fardoza rolls to the outside and starts to hobble up the ramp. Meanwhile, Hedo turns to see Johnson hop up onto the outside ring apron. The Oni charges, leaping over an attempted kick by Dylan, and catches him with a sunset flip powerbomb down to the outside! Dylan's body flops on the thinly padded floor, and he lands in a crumpled heap. Hedo grabs a net and a cable leash and tosses them into the ring; he then goes to Dylan's lifeless body and hefts it up onto his shoulder, rolling him in under the bottom rope.]
Hart: Hedo looks to be in total control here, folks.
Lane: I'll say, that powerbomb to the outside really put Johnson in the dirt!
[Hedo enters the ring. He pulls the dazed Dylan Johnson to his feet, hits the ropes behind him, comes back and hits the vicious chop block, forcing Johnson down to his knees. Sanza then signals for the end, which sends the crowd into a frenzy.]
Lane: Look, he's goin' for it!
Hart: Hedo hits the ropes...DEAD...BY...DAW--
Lane: NO! NO, HE DODGED IT!
[Dylan dives out of the way, and Hedo lands on his feet, skidding to a halt. Dylan grabs the cable leash off of the mat and lunges at Sanza's unprotected back, looping the leash around it and cinching it in tight!]
Hart: And he's choking him! Dylan Johnson's choking the life out of Sanza Hedo!
Lane: There's a thirty-pound weight differential, Hedo can't get out of it!
[Dylan quickly takes advantage of the leverage he has, and forces Sanza down to his knees. The Oni from Osaka begins to fade but, knowing better than to let himself pass out and risk further damage, Hedo taps out to the cable-leash choke.]
Hart: HE TAPS! SANZA HEDO TAPS OUT!
Bonn: Here is your winner, and the new NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP...DYLAN JOHNSON!
***BOOOO***
[Dylan pops to his feet and hits the turnbuckles, singing his own praises to the enraged crowd. Hedo rolls to the outside and backs up the ramp, gingerly feeling his throat and scowling at Johnson.]
Hart: Choking him out...not exactly what I'd call sportsmanlike, but it got the job done.
[Camera cuts to the parking lot area where Corporal Sanders is laying face first onto the concrete motionless. The picture quickly moves back to Hart and Lane at the announcer’s table.]
Hart: What happened to the Devil Dog?
Lane: I have no idea what happened but it looks like somebody took him out.
***Commercial***
Bonn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the WWX TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!
***CHEER***
Bonn: Introducing first, from Dublin, Ireland… JAMES CONNOR… THE WILD CARD!
[The strobe-lights flare as "The Wildcard" James Connor strides imperiously down the entrance ramp, totally ignorant of the booing fans. He leaps onto the ring apron, climbs the turnbuckle, and stares at his opponent through his dark glasses for a few seconds, before jumping into the ring and whipping off his shades and long black coat. A fan in the front row jeers, and Connor simply glowers at him for a moment until he shuts up. Connor turns back to his opponent as the lights come back on.]
Bonn: And his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the WWX Xtreme champion… The Prodigy, DANE CROWDER!!!
[“Otherworld” begins to play and the lights go dim. A gold spotlight is shining on top of the entrance ramp as “The Prodigy” Dane Crowder walks out from the backstage area the WWX Xtreme Championship is d|BLEEP|d over his shoulder. Dane stops atop the entrance ramp and raises his belt in the air. As the belt is being raised gold fireworks begin to sparkle down from the ceiling, the fans begin to cheer loudly. Dane continues to make his way down to the ring and begins interacting with the crowd the young fans are grabbing onto the Xtreme Championship belt and reaching for high fives. Dane jumps onto the apron and raises the Xtreme Championship belt in the air to receive a big pop from the crowd.]
Hart: And our ringside official is taking the Xtreme title.
[The referee signals the timekeeper.]
Hart: Well, this one is officially underway, even without the bell.
Lane: What is Crowder doing?
Hart: He’s laying down???
[Connor looks to the ref then down at Crowder. He drops and covers Crowder for the count.]

Hart: I think the fans feel cheated.
[Crowder rolls into the ring and hands Connor the belt then raises his arm.
He leans in and whispers and the two men head towards the back.]
[The Tron flares to life showing a room filled with computer equipment and dozens of CCTV monitors and computer screens mounted on the wall.
Poindexter stares intently at one screen as his hands work the mouse of a computer.]
Poindexter: It’s a woman.
[Steve Cuthbert approaches from behind and rests a hand on the back of a chair, peering at the screen.]
Cuthbert: What???
Poindexter: I have rendered out the fake overlays on the left side of Rachel. Whoever altered this security footage covered it up pretty good. Rachel looks from the man to the figure to her left. The figure is blurred due to the altering but it’s a woman. See…(points at the screen)…breasts. Nice ones too.
Cuthbert: And that is who struck Rachel with a chair?
Poindexter: As I see it. Do we have any more coffee?
Cuthbert: I’ll go get us some. You figure out who the “guy” is.
[Cuthbert walks off and the door thumps closed in the background.]
[Poindexter peers at the screen and enlarges the area where the alleged man is standing. He types commands on the keyboard. The screen flashes several times as the image sharpens slightly.]
***Crack***
[A metal chair strikes Poindexter in the back of the head. The frail man slumps and falls unconscious to the floor. A gloved hand reaches past the camera, ejects the security footage cassette from the player and draws it off camera.]
[The footage on the Tron fades.]
Hart: My God! Did that just happen??
Lane: Somebody get security up there. Where is that room?
Hart: Hold on…something is going on backstage.
[Footage cuts to backstage. Dane Crowder flies through the air and slides unceremoniously across a table knocking discarded beer cups and nacho bowls all over.]
[The camera pans back showing Corporal sanders stalking toward the upended Crowder as behind him Jimmy Love slams an elbow into the ribs of James Connor. Love hiptosses Connor onto a memorabilia table shattering it to splinters on impact.]
[A reluctant referee steers clear, keeping an eye on the action.]
Lane: No! It isn’t possible! That title is supposed to be swapped out for the TV Title.
Hart: Mr. McIver stated the Xtreme Title switches back to TV at first bell of Coliseum…
[Crowder scrambles to his feet and stuns Sanders with a kick to the thigh. Crowder steps looking for a superkick. Corporal Sanders evades and grabs his leg as it sweeps past. The Devil Dog grasps with the other hand at Crowder’s waist, hauls him up overhead and drives Crowder down onto a hotdog kiosk. Mustard, Ketchup and relish go flying in all directions.]
Lane: But the bell is missing…
Hart: I’d wager the Devil Dog planned it that way.
[Jimmy Love smirks and drops over a dazed James Connor for the pin. The ref makes the count.]
1…2…3!
Bonn: Your new WWX Xtreme Champion…Jimmy Love!!
[Love unhooks the title from Connor’s waist as the ref raises his arm in the air. Corporal Sanders looks down at Crowder.]
Corporal Sanders: You’re not ready for me yet, son. Get a little more gold before you come after the big dogs.
[Sanders and Love back away as fans pour in from the arena area to witness the backstage chaos.]
[The camera pans over catching sight of Manchester’s Finest, weeding their way unsuccessfully through the mob of fans, cinder blocks in hand.]
[Corporal sanders smiles and waves goodbye to Ballantine and Watson as he and Jimmy Love distance themselves from the World’s Elite members blocked in by the WWX faithful.]
Hart: Just great! A new member to Soul and Company and another title added to their collection.
Lane: That damn Marine!!
***Commercial***
Bonn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Parts Unknown… THE UNKNOWN!!!
***BOOO***
Hart: We are back and ready for a highly anticipated battle of the titans.
Lane: Indeedy!
[Dead Man Walking hits. The Unknown appears on the ramp, taunting to a thunderclap sound effect. He slowly walks down the ramp, and enters the ring via the top rope.]
Hart: This match has big implications for Chaos… If Unknown wins, he gets a shot at The Lost Soul’s WWX Championship.
Lane: But to do that he has to beat Halloween.
Bonn: His opponent, from the darkest pits…
[The lights suddenly go out and the crowd's attention seems to shift. The creepy laughter of a little girl fills the arena and the crowd suddenly starts to cheer.]
Little Girl: Are you afraid?
[A scream pierces the Arena as "Halloween Theme 2009" by Tyler Bates begins to play.]
Hart: Are we hearing this right?
Lane: It sounds like the monster Halloween is the favorite in this match up.
Hart: At the very least, he's got the fans on his side.
[The lights are still out as the song continues to play. The ring posts suddenly explode, red light filling the arena. It is now very clear that Halloween is standing right behind the Unknown, towering over him. The Unknown turns and is met with a powerful right hand.
Standing at ringside surrounded by mist is The Lost Soul.]

Hart: I’d suspect the same place as Halloween.
**Ding, ding**
[Halloween continues to lay into Unknown with right hands, driving the monster down to one knee.
Halloween hits the ropes and connects with a running knee to the face of The Unknown sending him to the mat.]

Hart: What a counter to a counter.
[Unknown gasps in agony, and Halloween straddles him, punching away at the steel mask, showing no pain as blood stains the mask from his bare knuckles, and begins to drip from under the mask.]
Lane: This is a disgusting show of dominance.
Hart: Disgusting? It's incredible!
[Halloween stands, before shooting a hand down and catching Unknown around the throat!
***CHEER***

Chaos slowly steps out, raising his arms in an 'X' and showing off his signature smirk as he stares down Lost Soul, showing no fear.]
Lane: We knew it wouldn't be long.
Hart: Here he is, Chaos!
[Chaos is dressed in his wrestling trunks and his trademark trench coat, his new look topped off by the crew cut.
He smiles and mist flows out around his ankles, and when it clears, three wolves are prowling around his feet, their eyes never leaving the ring.
Halloween has the Unknown up for the All Hallows Eve (super Powerbomb).]
Hart: Oh my GOD!
Lane: Chaos has three wolves?
Chaos raises his hand and signals for the wolves to move forward, which they do, slowly advancing on Soul turns to face the Wolves.
Suddenly Halloween drops Unknown.]
Lane: What’s going on.
[Unknown spins Halloween around and grabs him around the throat, lifting him high and planting him down with the chokeslam!]

Suddenly, 'Hero' By Skillet blasts out over the speakers, and the crowd goes into a frenzy as the lights dim and Chaos is sent sprawling by a burst of pyro!
Multiple glass hearts rain from the ceiling around Chaos, Soul, Halloween and Unknown and the wolves.]
Hart: Can it be?
Lane: He's back?
[The lights flicker crazily, and a dark silhouette steps out onto the stage, dressed in a pink and black hooded vest and ring trunks with broken pink hearts dotted over it.
The lights return and the eXistence goes ecstatic as Heartbreaker raises his head, flipping the hood away from his face and allowing his black hair to spill out, cueing a snowfall of pyrotechnics around him. He smiles as the fans continue to cheer for their hero and idol.]
Hart: Heartbreaker has returned to the W..W..X!

Heartbreaker: I think I made it perfectly clear... Chaos, you will not be taking your chance at the World Title, when I am yet to have mine!
*CHHHHEEEEERRR*
Heartbreaker: So, Soul... Next week, it's going to be Me and You for that World Title!
*CHEEEEEEER*
Heartbreaker: Champ, your Soul may already be lost, so all that is left for me to do is (Crowd says along with him) BREAK. YOUR. HEART!
Hart: WHERE THE HELL?!?!
[Scott Dreamie appears through the crowd and Nails HB in the back of the head with the final Golden Briefcase before grabbing the mic.]

[Scott hooks the leg.
1…2…3!]

Bonn: Here is your winner and NEW WWX CHAMPION, SCOTT DREAMIE!!!!!!
***BOOOO****
Hart: Why isn’t Halloween helping Soul.
Lane: Can’t you see? Soul was controlling Halloween with his Druid Powers.
Hart: Imposible.
***Commercial***
Hart: Well now it’s time for the fate of the WWX Tag titles to be decided!
Lane: Moore and Iceberg, Fire and Ice have been right at each other’s throats for ages now... It’s finally time for the payoff.
Bonn: The following contest is a Step-Ladder match and is for the WWX Tag Team Titles!
Hart: Step-ladder match?
Lane: That’ll throw the competitors.
Surrounding the ring are about twenty-five stepladders, not one higher than 3 ft tall.
Lights begin to flicker throughout the arena as “Otherworld" begins playing throughout the arena. Alastair Watson and Bryce Ballentine slowly walk out towards the ring with cinder blocks in their hands. They stop at the top of the ramp and raise the cinder blocks above their heads,as the cinderblocks are raised in the air white fireworks go off behind them and the crowd begins to cheer. Ballentine and Watson continue to walk towards the ring as they approach a ladder Bryce Ballentine climbs to the top and raises both arms in a victorious manner, Watson slides his cinder block into the ring and grabs onto the top ring rope, once onto the mat he steps over the top ring rope to get into the ring. Ballentine slides his cinder block into the ring and rolls underneath the bottom rope, the two men raise their cinder blocks over their head once more to again receive a loud chorus of cheers from the crowd. Both men put their cinderblocks underneath the turnbuckle.
Bonn: Introducing... From Manchester, England... Manchester’s FINEST!
Hart: Surely these two have to be the favorites?
Lane: That’s what the WWX Magazine thinks...
Hart: After what Corporal Sanders pulled off earlier I would not want to be in an opposing corner against these two tonight.
‘Rose of Sharyn’ flares up on the speakers and Nero Moore and Iceberg step out onto the stage, the crowd leaping into a chorus of booing. Iceberg gives them foul gestures and Nero slowly walks to the ring, hobbling a bit from his injury.
Hart: But... It looks like nothing is going to stop Iceberg from taking what belongs to Kevin.
‘When Lightning Strikes’ by Kiss pumps out from the PA system and Fire and Ice; Kevin Dudley and Xavier Pendragon step out from the curtain, tag team titles around their waists. They interact with the fans, who cheer for them as they slide into the ring, Kevin having to be restrained from snapping at Iceberg’s throat, the latter of whom just stands and smirks at him.
**ding ding ding**
Hart: This is it.
Lane: We’re underway, and by the end of this match, we could have new tag team champions.
Bryce and Alistair drop to the outside quickly as Xavier and Kevin snap on Iceberg and Nero. Nero raises his hands up, trying to defend himself, unable to do much else. Iceberg drags Xavier over his shoulder, then throws him into the corner, rushing in with a big splash, drawing a yell of agony from Pendragon.
Lane: Oh! My money has to be on Nero and Iceberg after that start!
Kevin grabs Iceberg from behind, spinning him around and connecting with a jawbreaker! Xavier takes advantage, lunging forward and pulling Iceberg down with a bulldog takedown! Xavier begins to stomp away at Iceberg and Kevin drags him to his feet, holding his arms up so Xavier can get a few free shots to Iceberg’s face.
Hart: What are Manchester’s Finest doing?

Nero coughs out a cry of agony, but he is silenced by Ballantine dropping him with a DDT on the outside!
Hart: Ouch!
Lane: I almost feel sorry for Moore... He is injured after all.
Iceberg tries to clamber to the outside to save Nero, but Bryce leaps up, dragging Iceberg’s throat onto the rope so he falls back into Xavier, who lifts him for a back suplex! Kevin dives off the top rope with a senton, connecting straight to Iceberg’s chest! He rolls off, sliding to ringside to grab a ladder that stands three foot tall, and slipping it under the bottom rope. Xavier sets it up underneath the tag titles, and stands on it, bending down so Kevin can climb on his shoulders. Kevin reaches up for the titles!
Hart: The champs have the belts in their reach!
Kevin’s fingers brush the titles, but suddenly Iceberg lifts Xavier onto his shoulders, with Kevin still on Xavier’s shoulders! Iceberg’s face clenches up with the pressure, but then he falls backwards, Xavier falling straight onto the canvas, and Kevin toppling over the top rope and dropping straight to the floor from 12 foot high!
Lane: WOAH!!
Hart: Iceberg’s way of stopping Fire & Ice from retaining those titles!
Iceberg steps to ringside where Manchester’s Finest are still beating down Nero! He swings at Bryce Ballantine, sending the smaller man sprawling backwards! Bryce scrambles to his feet as Iceberg turns his attention to Watson! Iceberg lifts the other half of MF up and cracks him across his knee with a backbreaker! Suddenly Bryce leaps up, catching Iceberg with a sleeper hold! Watson begins pummelling at Iceberg’s mid-section and legs, slowly wearing the big man to his knees, Bryce still with the sleeper in!
Hart: Iceberg looks like he’s about to collapse!
Lane: Manchester’s Finest are dominating the big man!
Bryce drops away from Iceberg, releasing the sleeper hold, and begins to hammer at the back of Iceberg’s legs and spine. Suddenly, Nero Moore swings a tiny stepladder through the air, cracking Bryce in the back of the head and drawing blood. Nero begins to pound on Bryce with the stepladder, and Ballantine yells out in pain flailing on the ground! Watson takes Iceberg out with a big dropkick, then tries to help his partner, but Nero kicks him in the gut, pulling him down and delivering the Willow Wisp (Twist of Fate), sending Watson’s head straight into Ballantine’s crotch!
Hart: Oh, that’s NASTY!
Lane: Nero battling through the pain to help his tag team partner.
Kevin Dudley struggles back through the middle rope, collapsing in the ring and favouring his back and neck. Xavier rolls two stepladders into the ring to accompany the one already in there. The two begin to pile the ladders on top of each other, then Kevin makes his way to the top rope. The crowd holds its breath as Kevin leaps, trying to reach the top of the pile! But Nero grabs him in mid-air pulling him down onto the mat! Xavier grabs Nero, dragging him into the ring and lifting him high up for The Motor City Overdrive! (Tazzmission)
Hart: Xavier with the Motor City Overdrive!
Lane: BOOM!
Nero hits the mat, roaring in pain and rolling to the corner. Xavier helps Kevin up, and the two make their way to the turnbuckles, taunting MF below and diving off, Kevin with a spinning dragonrana!
Lane: Oh my god!
Hart: Fire & Ice going all out to retain these titles!
Iceberg rolls into the ring, taking advantage of the empty ring to stack two ladders up, then climbing up them and reaching for the belts! His fingers brush them , and his face crunches up in concentration, but suddenly Xavier sweeps the bottom ladder away and Iceberg falls, catching his jaw on the bottom step ladder just before he hits the canvas! Xavier falls into stomping away at Iceberg, as Kevin rolls into the ring to help!
Hart: This is warfare!
Suddenly, MF grabs Nero again and pulls him to ringside, slamming his face into the ring post! Bryce pulls a pair of handcuffs from his tights and quickly secures Nero to the post! The two begin to hammer away at the helpless Moore, who tries to defend himself, but to no avail!
Hart: Manchester’s Finest have HANDCUFFS?!
Lane: Sneaky!
Bryce rolls into the ring as Watson delivers a few more boots to Moore, then rolls in himself. Bryce pulls Kevin away from Iceberg, and Xavier turns, trying to connect to Ballantine with a clothesline! But Bryce ducks and charges at Iceberg, connecting with a running Shining Wizard, causing the big man to drop to his knees! Kevin rushes at Watson, but Watson lifts him for a flapjack, rolling backwards whilst still holding Kevin’s leg and securing a boston crab! Xavier runs at him and goes for a dropkick, but Watson rolls away and Xavier accidentally leg drops Kevin! Bryce locks Xavier in a sleep hold, but Xavier elbows his way out, and whips Bryce into Kevin in the corner, who has his knees up, so Bryce falls backwards into Xavier, who lifts him up for a rolling German Suplex! Xavier turns around, but Bryce hits him with the Old Faithful (Superkick)! Suddenly Iceberg enters the mix, lifting Bryce for the Big Chill (Batista Bomb!)
Hart: Signature moves galore here in Rome! I start to wonder if the Coliseum has ever seen such a battle!
Lane: Probably, but this is immense!
Kevin leaps off the turnbuckle, catching Iceberg with a Tornado DDT, and Xavier drags him to ringside, whipping him straight into the cuffed Nero! Manchester’s Finest take advantage of Kevin being alone and drag him to the other side of the floor, pummelling him. Bryce takes out a pair of cuffs and secures Kevin to the ring post, then the two begin to pummel him, drawing blood!
Hart: Manchester’s Finest are slowly taking their opponents out of this match!
MF reach under the ring, taking a table out from underneath! Bryce grabs Xavier and passes him to Watson, who pulls him onto his shoulders. Bryce goes to the top rope and leaps off, catching Xavier with a DDT, pulling of the British Pound, their tag finisher! Watson gets the table and sets it up centre ring, picking the limp Xavier up and taking him to the top rope, where he leaps off, powerbombing the lifeless Pendragon through the table, sending chunks of wood flying!
Hart: NO!
Lane: What? Only stepladders can be used as weapons in this match!
The referee approaches Bryce and Watson, and begins to talk to them.
Ref: (off mic) That’s illegal! I can’t let you get away with that, it could have won you the match!
The ref points at Watson, then points to the stage.
Ref: (off mic) Watson, you’re disqualified from this match! Ballantine will carry this on ALONE!
Hart: OH!
Lane: That evens the numbers up!
Hart: Each team has only one member in condition to fight!
Bryce kicks the ring post in anger as Watson walks down the ramp, giving the referee foul gestures. Iceberg suddenly grabs Bryce and lifts him high for another Big Chill! (Batista Bomb)! Iceberg looks around for another ladder, and seeing none, climbs the top rope. He begisn to bounce on it, testing its strength.
Hart: What is he doing?
Iceberg leaps off, grabbing one of the tag belts and holding on, trying to pull it down! Xavier rolls quickly to his feet, seeing his titles in danger, and grabs Iceberg’s foot, pulling him down!

Bryce spins around, leaping off the ground and connecting to Iceberg’s head with a spinning kick, knocking him cold!

He reaches up for the tag titles, and grabs hold of them both! Xavier and Iceberg grabs his feet, toppling the ladders, so he is swinging by the tag titles! Bryce tries to kick them off, and he does so, but Xavier goes to the top rope and leaps off, grabbing one of the titles! The two swing, trying to kick each other off! Bryce kicks Xavier in the gut, but Xavier swings back, headbutting Bryce so he nearly falls!
Hart: This is so close, we can almost taste new or retaining champions!
Bryce smiles, kicking Xavier in the groin again, so he cries out and releases his hold on the title! Bryce punches Xavier’s hand, and the Machine drops to the ground, smashing straight onto the canvas! Bryce swings back, grabbing both titles and pulling them down!
Lane: NEW TAG CHAMPIONS!

**Ding ding ding!**
Bonn: And your winners, and the NEW tag team champions... MANCHESTER’S FINEST!
Watson runs out, hugging Bryce and taking his half off the titles. Manchester's Finest raise the titles in the air as World Elite's music bounces around the room! Suddenly, 'This is how I disappear' by My Chemical Romance hits over the PA system, cutting out the celebrations. The crowd lapse into incredible heat as Unknown and Chaos step out onto the stage, the lights dimming slightly. Chaos has his three wolves circling around his feet as MF drop to the canvas, adopting fighting stances.
Hart: What's this?
Lane: I think Riot Act are sore losers... They're getting revenge for Unknown's loss at the hands of Heartbreaker earlier!
Unknown storms the ring, followed by the three wolves, the wolves slide into the ring and circle the tag champs, snapping at their heels. Unknown steps onto the apron and walks over the top rope, laughing at MF's fear.The wolves move together and leap at the champs, sending them back into Unknown, who smiles and spins them around, lifting them high for a double chokeslam! They drop the titles as Chaos steps into the ring, removing his trench coat.
Hart: Oh no...
Lane: CHAOS THEORY!
Chaos launches into the two with a double Chaos Theory (Spear), cracking each man's ribs. He picks up the tag titles and spits on their names, before dropping them onto the champs. Chaos takes a mike, waiting for the fans to calm down.
Chaos: Well, thanks to that no-talent hack Heartbreaker returning earlier and thwarting my World Title hopes... I figured I'd hit out at the next best thing, that would be easy as hell to take.
He looks at MF on the floor, and smiles as the crowd boos him.
Chaos: And so, you may not remeber this, but the week before my suspension, Unknown and I were actually named contenders to the tag team titles in FAIR matches! If that means anything to you scum in the back, it shows that we deserve our SHOTS!
*BOOOOOOOO*
Chaos: So, next week... It's going to be Chaos and Unknown versus Manchester's Muffins for those tag team titles!
*BOOOOOOOO*
Chaos: And this time... nothing will stop me getting this GOLD!
‘Rush’ by Uzamaki starts up suddenly, and a cloud of smoke shrouds the ring and stage! The crowd go into a frenzy as the lights dim as Sanza Hedo steps out from the cloud, Bokken in hand and smile on his face. Sanza leaps into the ring, and Unknown backs off, not wanting anything to do with Hedo. Chaos stands defianty, beckoning for Sanza to fight him. Sanza smiles again, driving the Bokken into Chaos’ stomach! Chaos rolls out of the ring, joining Unknown.
"CHAOS!" He shouts, "You started the Riot Act... you're big game, my friend. And I need to re-establish some momentum around here... so way I see it, I need to pick a fight with someone, I choose YOU!"
Throwing the Mic down, Hedo looks around at the unconscious warriors from the Tag battle, and nods. He gives one last admonishing look to Chaos and the Unknown. Suddenly smoke explodes out from his area, and when it's cleared, he's gone.
Lane: Hedo said it was time to bully the bully!
Hart: And now Hedo has chosen Chaos!
Lane: This is going to be MASSIVE!
Hart: But first of all, we have new Tag Team champs, and next week they’re defending their belts against Chaos and Unknown!

Don't You Know I'm LOCOOOOO?!", as a huge explosion goes off on stage. Parts of the stage remain lit on fire as El Chollo Loco makes his way out, with Dora and Carlito in his hand, as he bounces and celebrates like a mad man on his way to the ramp and pit door entrance, slapping the hands of fans on the way down to the ring. Loco runs and launches off the ramp over the door and into the pit. Loco rolls to his feet and climbs the door with one hand and throwing up the horns with the other to acknowledge the fans cheers.

Lane: That's if he wakes up from that shot. Can you believe it? Sanders just named his number one contender.
Hart: I think Dane Crowder disagrees with that decision.
[Darkness gets to his feet and picks Mamba up and throws him down the tunnel. Darkness follows right behind as the ref shut the trap door.]
Lane: Fans this match is officially underway. Lets cut to the cameras that have been placed throughout the tunnels.
