The scene opens up outside the Joe Louis Arena. Despite the bitter cold of the February air. The scene shifts to the inside, the arena is empty except a few SFT road crew members putting the final touches on things before the show starts. We see Phil Stevens and Steve Phillips standing at the top of the ramp leading down to the ring, the set is that of a desert with giant hourglasses. They are both wearing Sands of Time event t-shirts, with the phrase “Too Crazy to Live, Too Proud to Die.”
Steve: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the pre-pay-per-view Sands of Time Show. We’re about an hour before the entrances open, but we have plenty to get all of you folks in the mood for a great night of XCW style wrestling.
Phil: That’s right! We have interviews with past stars. Interviews with XCW staff members, a count down of the top ten greatest moments in XCW history, and pre-match analysis for each of tonight’s qualifiers, along with the “Heaven to Hell” main event.
Steve: Of course knows about the Clash of the Champions, a XCW Tradition, one of the few that we had. But I think more interesting at this moment, at least for me, is the Heaven to Hell match tonight.
Phil: Yes, this is a special cage match, thought up specifically for this event, for this match.
Steve: But a simple cage match in XCW? Never, XCW staff has decided to put a special twist on this match, even before the first Heaven to Hell match.
Phil: It’s called “Till Death Do Us Part.” And it involves hanging Ice and Aj Nin Red Rum’s rings above the cage itself.
The scene cuts to show the cage hanging above the ring, and two hooks, one with the XCW Title hanging off of it, and the other with Aj Nin Red Rum and Ice’s wedding bands tied to a string and hanging from the hook.
Phil: A ladder will be on top of the cage, and Ice or Aj Nin will have to grab the rings from the hook by climbing the ladder. The cage itself stands at 25 feet, add to it a 10 foot ladder, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Steve: Yes definitely. I guarantee you that tomorrow morning Ice and Aj Nin will both be extremely sore.
Phil: But we need to save this for the match analysis, first things first, we have the first two moments, in our count down of the top 10 XCW moments… #10. EOR vs. Wolf-Pac: In XCW there were two huge stables that it seemed like everyone was part of. Evil Over Rule and The Wolf-Pac. Every new superstar was pursuaded to join one of these two groups, and it seemed like every show it was all give and take.
#9 Prodigies Reign: December 2000 in XCW was dominated by two factions. The Evil Over Rule, and the Wolf-Pac. But in January of 2001, a New Year brought about a new group of three men, born out of that rivalry. Ricky Craven, originally part of E.O.R., Justin Sane, originally part of Wolf-Pac, and Kabal, originally part of New Kids on the Block, formed the group 'The Prodigies'. The Prodigies were so hot they all three held titles in XCW at one time, Kabal holding the Hardcore, Justin Sane holding the Intercontinental, and Ricky Craven holding the World Heavyweight. The scene comes back to a set backstage. We see Phil and Steve sitting in the chairs, and talking.
Phil: As we said before, we’re going to have some pre-show analysis of the matches on the card for tonight. First we start off with Christian Cage vs. Bone Breaker. Neither of whom some people consider having never made an impact in the world of XCW. But the truth is, these two have come a long way as wrestlers since their time with XCW.
Steve: Most notably the fact that Christian Cage is a former SFT Champion. In my opinion I think Christian is probably the man to beat in this match.
Phil: I agree with that, but I think with the feud these two have had in the past, that it’ll be much more complicated then most people will think.
Steve: Next we have Kyle Murphy vs. Adam Kratz. Personally in my opinion this seems like a hogwash match. I hardly remember Kratz at all, but if you mention Kyle Murphy’s name to anyone with some XCW history, they know immediately.
Phil: Kyle Murphy is a former 3 time I.C. Champion, and former 3 time World Champion, along with the last “official” XCW Champion. No doubt in my mind that this one is going Murphy’s way. And his determination to remain as XCW’s last World Champion is making him my picks to win the “Clash.”
Steve: And then you have the hardcore icon Connor MacDaddy and Johnny Legend.
Phil: Both of these men have had awesome careers. SFT Champions, and staff members. But I have to give this one to Connor.
Steve: I agree, Connor has been waving the XCW flag for years and is a former XCW Champion. On top of that, he walks into the clash of the champions having won the event in 2001. So who knows, that might be the right amount of experience he needs to come away the big winner tonight. So Connor MacDaddy is my pick to come away from the Clash as XCW Champion.
Phil: The next match of course, the Tag Team match between Kabal and Ricky Craven, and Ace and Radiant.
Steve: Kabal and Ricky at one time were part of the hottest young group of XCW superstars, the Prodigies. But the truth is they’re stepping into the ring for the first time in months, or in Craven’s case, years. The fact that they’re both former XCW Champions, may be a factor. But I have to go with Radiant and Ace.
Phil: I disagree with you on this one. Ace and Radiant are two of SFT’s best, ever! But the truth is this isn’t SFT. This is XCW. And when these two get together they’re a tough combo to beat, as we saw with the Prodigies era. I have to go with The Prodigies, Ricky Craven and Kabal.
Steve: Alright, we’ll be back with more match by match analysis in a moment. But lets take a look at XCW Great Moments 8 and 7. Followed by a interview from a XCW great… #8 Connor MacDaddy wins Clash of the Champions 2001: Connor’s first XCW Championship came in a grueling and intense Clash of the Champions consisting of XCW legends Apocalypse, Ice, Kabal, the Perfict One, Serious Steve, Big T, and MM. Connor lost the title two weeks later to Apocalypse.
#7 Spawn is the first XCW World Champion after Clash of the Champions 2000: When Reginald Royce wasn't able to make the first "Clash of the Champions", nobody knew who was going to be the first World Heavyweight Champion. After comming within a couple of inches, Prez Kevin made his presence known by interfering, and pushing Ice off the top of the ladder as she reached for the title. In the following confusion, Spawn was able to slide through everyone's defenses and take the XCW Title and began his first and only XCW World Heavyweight Championship. The scene shows an interview set backstage where we see Steve Phillips sitting in a chair. Across from him is former XCW Superstar Justin Sane in a wheel chair. Steve and Justin are making small talk before he looks up at the camera.
Steve: Well the enterance to the Joe Louis arena has opened alittle before schedule so people can get out of the cold, but it is heating up here backstage, as everyone gets ready for tonights Pay-Per-View. Ladies and gentlemen, because tonight is a special night in XCW and SFT history, we're going to be having interviews with some of the people who experienced XCW first hand, and have them share their experiences. First I have former XCW Superstar Justin Sane. Justin held the XCW World, Intercontinental, Tag, and Cruiserweight Titles while with the company. Justin thanks for being a part of this special night.
Justin Sane: Thanks for having me here, Steve. For a while I didn't know if I was going to get an invite seeing as how I can't wrestle anymore. *laughs*
Steve: You know we couldn't have a XCW Night without inviting all of its Hall of Famers. The first question of course will be the same as everyone else we interview tonight. What brought you to XCW in the first place?
Justin Sane: Well I was actually one of the few who graduated from the XCW-sponsored wrestling school. With my graduation, I was guaranteed a couple of "dark" matches with XCW itself. Well, I guess I impressed the suits, because a few days after my first one, I got a call and was offered a contract.
Steve: Just after joining XCW, you became part of one of what everyone called "The Big Two" stables. The Wolf-Pac. What was it like being part of one of the top two groups in XCW so quickly?
Justin Sane: Well, truth be told, the only reason I was ever in the Pac was because Kyle Murphy saw something special in me. He saw a few of my matches and decided to let me "run with the pack", so to speak. It's funny. I had only been on the roster for like a week or two, and I was already playing a key part in the big war between the Pac and EOR. It's kind of like how during the Civil War, the US would take immigrants fresh off the boat and send them to war. I didn't even know what I was fighting for.
Steve: Well of course, there was a good product of your being in the Wolf-Pac. It was where you meet your friend and tag team partner Ricky Craven. And we all know what that lead to of course.
Small sections of the fans erupt and begin a "Prodigies" chant.
Justin Sane: Haha. of course, of course. Ricky and I were pretty much going through the same things at the time. We were both young, unexperienced, and out to take on the world. So naturally, we let our inflated egos get the best of us and we broke away from the Pac to form the Prodigies. I don't want to come off sounding cocky or anything, but I'd like to believe that the Prodigies were an integral part of XCW's success. Our popularity skyrocketed, it was unbelievable and completely unexpected.
Steve: Of course we all know, the Prodigies consisted of yourself, Ricky, and Kabal. The most memorable moment of course being the night the three of you held the World, Intercontinental, and Hardcore titles all at the same time. I have to ask, was that ever part of your guy's plan going into that night, Ricky holding the World title belt, and you and Kabal going for the IC and Hardcore?
Justin Sane: Of course I'd like to say it was the plan, haha.. but deep down, I didn't think we could pull it off. We were all just rookies, the odds were definately stacked against us. But then when things started to fall into place.. it was incredible. I would definately rank that night as one of the best in my career. It was so surreal, I couldn't believe what we had accomplished. We could honestly say we were, for that night, the best XCW had to offer.
Steve: Would you say that there was ever a "leader" of the Prodigies? Our were you all just going along for the ride?
Justin Sane: No way, there was definately never a leader. Each of us knew that without the other two, we wouldn't be where we were. That was one of the things that was so great about the Prodigies.. we always just did what was best for each other. We really worked together, it was great.
Steve: Shortly after that one "golden" night I guess you could say, things weren't so good for the Prodigies. Kabal and you lost your titles, and Ricky was injured and forced to give up his World Title. But he had you and Kabal share it. What was it like being a XCW Champion, albeit co-Champion, for the first time?
Justin Sane: Oh, it was amazing. I know some people look down on my first reign seeing as how I held it with another man, but it doesn't make any difference to me. I.. we.. were the XCW World Champion. Incredible.
Steve: You said earlier, that the night the Prodigies reigned was ONE of the best night nights of your career...what was THE best night of your career? Weither in XCW or not.
Justin Sane: The best night of my career? I don't know.. man.. I'd have to say the night I finally beat Apocalypse, one-on-one, for the XCW World Title. I had faced him like six or seven times before, at house shows, pay-per-views, everywhere. And he beat me every single time. For whatever reason, I just couldn't beat this guy. Every single time, he had my number. I gotta say that when it comes to studying opponents and finding their weaknesses, Apocalypse is the best there ever was. If I had injured my big toe jogging the week before, he would somehow find out about it and use it against me. *laughs* No, but really, that's gotta be the best night. I finally beat him, with the title on the line. It was great.
Steve: You made refference to your rivalry with Apocalypse, who else did you rival or enjoy working with in XCW?
Justin Sane: There are so many names, I know I'm going to leave someone out and offend them. *laughs* Really, too many to name. Apocalypse, Aj Nin Red Rum, the Meat House Gang, Kyle Murphy, Hellraiser - you know what, I'm just gonna stop. It would be impossible to name them all. But let me just mention The Nudist? Remember him? That guy wrestled in nothing but a thong. I beat him twice. *laughs*
Steve: Who did you look up too in XCW when you first joined?
Justin Sane: I looked up to a lot of people, but the one man that I'd have to say I really looked up to.. ready for this? Aj Nin Red Rum. Something about that guy.. every time he stepped foot into the ring, he told a story. He drew me in every time. I practically idolized the guy while I was in the training camp.. although that all changed once I joined up with the Pac. He became one of my biggest enemies.
Steve: What was your favorite, non-Justin Sane XCW moment?
Justin Sane: Man, what's with all the tough questions? *laughs* I'm gonna say any match between Aj Nin Red Rum and Ice. Specifically at Fallout.
Steve: Sorry Justin, you know how I conduct my interviews. Don't worry, I only have a couple more questions. Do you miss XCW and being a part of it?
Justin Sane: Are you kidding me? Of course I do. Hell, I miss wrestling, but that's another story. But on the other end of the spectrum, I am glad that this reunion show is going down. It should be a final sendoff for XCW.. a proper one. No more XCW stables, no more XCW reincarnations. This should be the final XCW showcase.
Steve: Last question, do you regret anything from your career?
Justin Sane: If there's anything I regret, it's that I didn't appreciate XCW as much as I should have while I was there. Looking back on it, I took some things for granted. Now XCW is treated like some ancient treasure. Back when I was a part of it, it was just XCW. Just good ol' XCW. I'll miss it.
Steve: I lied when I said that was my last question, because I have one more question I'm sure all of the Justin Sane fans want to know...is there any chance of a comeback, I guess you really don't have to answer that if you don't feel comfortable doing so.
Justin Sane: A comeback as in a non-wrestling role, I take it? *laughs*
Steve: Wrestling or non-wrestling. Is there any chance of you getting out of that chair?
Justin Sane: Haha, I don't know about that. My legs are pretty dead nowadays. I can walk slowly, but that's about it. As for non-wrestling, at first indication, I'd say no. At least not in SFT. It's no secret that I just flat-out don't like the place. However, I have made a few appearances at local independents near my home. That's about it, though. But you know what they say, anything's possible in wrestling.. even if the chances are slim to none.
Steve: Justin, thank you for comming, I know everyone is glad to see you around here. I hope you enjoy the rest of the night.
Justin Sane: Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Steve: Well, we continue the countdown now, with numbers 5 and 6, and when we come back, Phil Stevens is going to join me again here on this stage as we analyze the triple threat qualifier, and the Heaven to Hell match. #6 Duel Champions: During Nathan Gust's reincarnation of XCW in early 2002, they were in dying need of a World Heavyweight Champion. A Clash of the Champions match was set up. At that point, Aj Nin Red Rum and Johny Fierce were the reigning Tag Team Champions and Satanaz Black was the reigning Cruiserweight Champion. The three were all members of Evil Over Rule at the time, so it was thought that they had an alliance. The final three men who could possibly win this match just happened to be Aj Nin, Johny, and Satanaz. In a true act of defiance, Satanaz tries his luck against the Tag Team Champions and ended up taking Johny Fierce out of the ring. It was down to Aj Nin Red Rum and Satanaz Black. The two fought tooth and nail until they started climbing the ladder together. They both reached for the title when Connor MacDaddy and Jon Brewer got involved again. They each went to knock down the ladders the men were on, forcing them to both grab onto the belt. Unfortunately for the Murdah Inc., Satanaz and Aj Nin pulled the belt loose at the same time and landed on the mat with the belt firmly within their grasps. Both men were declared the winner as neither man lost his hold of the prestigious title.
#5 Hardcore Havoc: The record for the most times a title changed hands in one night for XCW came on November 29th, 2000 when the XCW Hardcore Title official changed hands 13 times! Kabal intially won the title from Twiztid, and immediately made the title defended 24/7. The belt changed hands between Kabal, former Hardcore Champion Ice, Twiztid, Blaze, Rachel Murphy, and many many others including a concession stand worker, a ref, and a lucky fan. This match also is infamous for Kabal breaking a shovel over the head of Ice accidentally as she emerged from the ladie's restroom the Hardcore Champ having pinned the concession stand worker. Kabal won and lost the title 5 times that night, and was the final person to hold it when President Kevin put a stop to the 24/7 rule...a mere half hour after it was instated by Kabal.
The scene comes back again with Phil and Steve sitting in the chairs on the set again.
Phil: Well it’s time to continue our analysis of the matches for tonight’s card. First we have the triple threat qualifiers for the Clash of the Champions.
Steve: All three of these men are proud XCW alumni. None of them ever held the XCW Title, but they’re probably the best to never have. I have to go with Amp. Amp is coming back strong lately in SFT, and I really think that he’s determined to get his hands on the XCW Title.
Phil: I don’t know Rumpke is coming back with a lot to prove. On top of Rico Smith is another great when it comes to talking about SFT and XCW. Personally I feel this is the closest match of the night, and it can go anyway.
Steve: And of course we have the first of the two main events, Heaven to Hell.
Phil: I’ve never been much a fan of Ice. I mean I respect her, but I was always more of an Aj Nin Red Rum Fan. But, as far as who is going to win this thing, I don’t know. Aj Nin is making his return for the first time in 2 months, his last match of course being his loss of the SFT World Title. This match is way too up in the air.
Steve: Yea, I’d hate to bet against either of these two. Ice seems to have something to prove to herself, but Aj Nin seems determined to force her down. I don’t know, I feel like I’m going to root for Ice, but I can’t say for sure who I think is going to win this one. Well when we get back, we have another interview with an XCW Legend, but now, XCW’s greatest moments #3 and 4. #4 XCW vs. SFW Title Match: In the first XCW Title match under Strike Fantasy Towers, Ice and Dave Steel had a hellious match for the XCW Title. Ice wrestled that night broken nose and all and gave Dave Steel a Pay-per-view worthy match. But the match has always been eclipsed by the announce right afterwards, when XCW Hall of Famer Amp announced that he was the father of Ice's daughter Sara.
#3 Buried Alive: In the first and only All Federation Buried Alive match, Ice, Aj Nin Red Rum, and Kyle Murphy set aside their differences to one by one eliminate all comers, until it came time to turn on each other. Finally in the end the match saw Kyle Murphy winning his first of three XCW Championships when he outlasted the rest of Xtreme Championship Wrestling. The scene comes back the set, this time we see Phil sitting in the interview seat, acrossed from XCW Champion, Jon Brewer.
Phil: Our next interviewee, is a former XCW Champion, Jon Brewer. Jon it’s a pleasure to have you involved in tonight’s festivities.
JB: Thank you Phil, I'm glad to be here. It certaintly has been a while.
Phil: You had a lot of success in XCW. What brought you to XCW.
JB: Definitely my good buddy Connor. Him and I were at countless feds before Connor happened to stumble upon XCW. Honestly, I was skeptical at first because XCW was pretty small at the time. But I realized quickly that I was wrong. All the talent there was already better than me. So we both decided to join the singles roster and slowly but surely began sharpening our skills for when we eventually became main eventers.
Phil: A big theme going around for this show has been the backstage commradery XCW had. And the friendly rivalries. Was there anyone in XCW that you really found that true to be with, aside from Connor?
JB: Oh definitely. A few people that really stick out are Justin Sane, Kabal, and Apocalypse. Though I remember Apocalypse and I did get into one big argument, I honestly can't remember if him and I parted on good terms. But I really do hope we did.
Phil: If there was anyone from XCW you could have another match with, who would it be?
JB: For most people, that would probably be a hard question. But no doubt in my mind, I'm going with Apocalypse on this one. My rivalry with him makes up some of the most vivid memories in my mind. I'd love to go one on one with him again. He was always such a huge factor whether I was XCW Champion or not. It never stopped with the belt. And not once did we ever let the fans down.
Phil: I have a feeling I know what the answer to this one is going to be, but I have to ask it anyway. What was your favorite match in XCW?
JB: Obviously the championship match with Apocalypse. Photographic evidence shows why. It was the first time I won the belt, and I think I've only been that happy twice since then. [laughs]
Phil: How about your favorite non-Jon Brewer XCW moment?
JB: Hmm...defiantly the feud between Connor and Chimpo and Murdah Inc. Pick any moment between these guys, you'll never laugh so hard in your life followed by seeing lots of violence. This was some of the best stuff XCW had going.
Phil: Something I ask everyone, what have you been up too since those XCW days?
JB: As bad as this may sound Phil, I'm actually enjoying my wealth. I'm finally able to take advantage of everything that I couldn't do at home because I was always on the road. However, to this day I still travel to places. But now that I'm not on a schedule, I can check out everything.
Phil: Do you have any regrets about your career?
JB: Yes. I regret the way that I parted from XCW. It shouldn't of have happened the way that it did. But I know that it was my fault. I took a lot of time off to think everything through. And when I tried coming back a while later, it wasn't the same.
Phil: Can we ever expect a return to action from Jon Brewer?
JB: As of now, it could be a while before I ever consider a return. I made a conscience decision to turn on SFT the other night when I was told would be doing this interview. I plan on keeping up with the story lines, and if I see an opportunity arise, I might schedule a meeting with Kevin.
Phil: Well Jon, we appreciate you being here and taking part in the shows festivities. We hope to see you again sometime in the future.
JB: Thanks again Phil. I look forward to watching your show again. See ya.
Phil: Here we go folks, when we come back we have one last interview with a former XCW Champion. But first the moments you've been waiting for. The two biggest moments in XCW History. #2 Rivalry for the ages: These two had so many great matches, it'd be too hard to pick one out as the greatest one of all. Aj Nin Red Rum comes out on top of the fued when it comes to numbers, with 5 wins. But Kyle comes out on top when it comes to titles as Kyle beat Aj Nin three times with titles on the line, once for the I.C. Title, twice for the XCW Title.
#1 XCW Moment, XCW's first show: The day that started it all. The Seagate center in Toledo, Ohio. XCW legends Apocalypse, Ice, and Aj Nin Red Rum won their first titles with XCW when Apocalypse won the European title, Ice won the Women's Title, and Aj Nin became the first XCW I.C. Champion The final segement of the XCW pre-show opens with Kabal now sitting across from Phil.
Phil: Alright, now we interviewed this man's former stable mate earlier. But no it's time to put him in the hot seat. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the man who took weird to a whole new level in XCW, Kabal.
Phil: Of course it is, and I know I'm glad to be hear, I'm sure you are too. First things first, we ask everyone this. What was it that brought you to XCW in the first place?
Kabal: Well it was a job offer, simple as that. I was a no-name wrestler, but the guys at XCW saw something in me....and I'm glad they did, because without XCW I'd be your gardener.
Phil: A big theme in this show is the whole commradery that XCW had backstage, in the ring, and just in general. Who do you feel were your best friends in XCW both as competitors and as backstage friends.
Kabal: My best friends.... Well I've had many friends and pretty much all my opponents are also my friends, I think it's something to do with the mutual respect we all had for XCW. So yeah, I'd probably say that my best friends are my Prodigies stablemates Justin and Ricky, my bosses Graham and Kevin, and my dear friends Rumpke, Will and the lovely Becky
Phil: What would you consider the best night of your time with XCW?
Kabal: Probably that night I made the XCW Hardcore Title 24/7 defense. Thinking back, that was a painful and silly idea.
Phil: Really? I must say I’m surprised, I was thinking it might have been when the Prodigies had all the gold.
Kabal: That's a possibility but them guys had the glory that night, the night the title went 24/7 was insane, it showed the real spark of XCW. No offence to the guys, but that night showed me that a idiot can make a difference.
Phil: We all know that for alittle bit, you held the XCW World Title, with Justin Sane. What was it like to be co-top dog in XCW?
Kabal: It was nice, but at the same time it was a little scary, I've never had a high opinion of myself, the crowd may have loved me...but I didn't see myself as a top dog even if I was sharing the spot with Justin. I just didn't believe it
Phil: What about after that night, have you ever regretted giving up the title so easily?
Kabal: Deep down, yes..... But part of me knows I just wasn't ready for it.... I've always felt more comfortable at the lower titles... Not because its easier, no...because people at the bottom tend to try harder to get to the top
Phil: What would you have considered your favorite Non-Kabal moment in XCW’s history.
Kabal: There are some great ones..... I'm not entirely sure, wow... I remember them but I just can't choose. I can't even narrow them down to three.
Phil: How about this one. If you could fight anyone who ever wrestled in XCW at any time again. Who would it be?
Kabal: Another tough one, It would be a toss up between Connor, because of the hardcore fued we had, Aj Nin Red Rum because each match we had was so passionate or Ice because she always gave her best and I could feel the electricity everytime I entered the ring with her.
Phil: Do you have any regrets about your career?
Kabal: Possibly not spending more time in XCW, I know I was there for nearly the whole time it opened, but another day in XCW would still be another day.
Phil: What have been up to since your time with XCW?
Kabal: I've tried to relive my success and enjoyment of XCW, i've failed in both and because most people don't understand the need for comedy in wrestling, i've just been a nobody in a infinate list of mindless companies.
Phil: How about tonight. What do predict for tonight's match?
Kabal: Which one? Tonight is filled with absolute greatness, tonight is about Love and Hate, in nearly every match.
Phil: Your tag match tonight with Rick Craven I meant.
Kabal: Ah....well its been along time since we've tagged...and our opponents are good, but I just feel that our heart and determination shall bring us to victory.
Phil: Just out of curiousity, is there anyone else you'd rather tag with tonight for this match?
Kabal: I don't know, I've tagged with many partners in XCW and I can say that if Ricky wasn't available I'd have liked to be teamed with Aj Nin or Ice....But Ricky is a great partner to have for this match.
Phil: Well Kabal, it was a pleasure to have you on, but we're out of time. Thanks for joining us and goodluck.
Kabal: Thank you, its been a orgasmic pleasure!
Phil: Uh...yea...so anyway, the time has come, if you haven't already called your local pay-per-view provider be sure to do so. Because XCW Sands of Time starts in just a matter of moments away. Take it away, Kevin and Mason! The scene fades out and goes straight to Kevin and Mason, the legendary founders of Xtreme Championship Wrestling. The two are at a very fancy commentator's table next to the flawless stage. The fans go wild as pyro shoots off and sparks fall from the top of the Kevin: Hello and welcome to XCW Sands of Time. Tonight, you will witness five qualifying matches, the highly anticipated Til Death Do Us Part Match, and the 2005 Clash of the Championship the very last World Heavyweight Champion of our great company. I'm here with Mason, who hasn't been seen or heard from in a while. Tell us where you've been.
Mason: I've been maintaining a more simple life than I was leading during the days of XCW. I'm more of a family man than an entertainer these days.
Kevin: You never were much of an entertainer. Heh.
Mason: You are still witty, Kevin. Great...
Kevin: Yes, I am. Speaking of witty... Christian Cage faces Bone Breaker next!
Mason: What does that have to do with being witty?
Kevin: I don't know, but we needed a way to start the match off.
The camera focuses on Chimpo the Chimp, who is standing in the middle of the ring to announce the competitors.

Chimpo the Chimp: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is sceduled for one-fall and is a 2005 Clash of the Champions Qualifing Match! Introducing first, from Miami, FL... Christian Cage!
The arena is plunged into darkness, but a with a gold spotlight shining down on the stage directly in front of the video wall.
The opening notes of "King Of My World" by Saliva echo over the arena's PA system, and as the song reaches it's first chorus, Christian Cage walks out and stands underneath the spotlight, with his back to the ring and to a deafening negative reaction (interspersed with "asshole" chants from the crowd).
Cage stretches his arms out to his sides, level with his shoulders, so as to assume a crucifix position, and as he does so, it triggers a series of pyrotechnic explosions on either side of him. As the smoke from the pyro dies away, Cage turns to face the ring and begins a slow, purposeful strut down the aisle.
When he reaches the ring, Cage slides underneath the bottom rope and proceeds to climb to the top of each of the four turnbuckles in succession, assuming the crucifix position again at the top of each.
After climbing down from the last turnbuckle, Cage goes back to his corner and slowly removes his designer sunglasses, staring straight into the eyes of his opponent. Cage then removes the chain around his neck, and finally his black t-shirt, revealing his toned, muscular upper body.
Chimpo the Chimp: and his opponent... from Miami, FL... Bone Breaker!
The arena is quiet as the fans wait for something to happen, then a loud bang goes off as the lights in the arena dim down to low, them the sound of "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park hits the PA and the crowd goes a bit wild as Pyro from Colors red to Yellow shoots off into the arena sky. Bone Breaker emerges from the backstage area and enters the stage area. Bone Breaker stops and looks around at the crowd a bit and can see flashes coming from cameras going off, almost a bit blinding. Bone Breaker then walks down the ramp way slowly taking his time and enters the ring area and climbs into the ring.
Mason: First match of XCW in almost three years!

Adam goes for a pin himself. 1... 2... Kickout! Mason: That was a surprisingly strong move from Adam Kratz! Kevin: This has been an awesome start. Mason: It would have ended if the referee could count properly. Kevin: Yeah, Kyle would have had it won by now! Both men get up, Adam holding his ribs and Kyle his back. Adam then throws a right hand at Kyle. Kyle retaliates and throws a harder punch, into the ribs of Adam. Adam immediately grabs his ribs. With this, Kyle immediately grabs Adam’s left arm and throws him to the ropes. When Adam returns, Kyle goes for a Flapjack, but Adam hits a high knee to the face of Kyle. Mason: Now that was graceful. Kevin: XCW is anything but grace-ful! Adam then lays a boot to the chest Kyle. He then brings Kyle back up to his feet.

Kevin: Well now it comes time for a pair of XCW alumni with a good history in SFT swell. Johnny Legend vs. Connor MacDaddy.
Mason: You know, these two have fought in the past, but I don't think Johnny ever meet up with Connor in a XCW Ring. "The Tea Party" by Heaven Coming Down comes on into the arena. Suddenly, a few gold color fireworks erupt on top of the ramp, shooting straight up. The mist fills the air, as 'You Savior, Your God' appears on the big screen above the ramp. 'River Below' by Billy Talent quickly blasts, as Johnny Legend appears from the backstage and makes his way to the top of the ramp that leads to the ring. Legend, who is wearing a flashy pair of tights, along with black kneepads that connect to his black boots… Just stands there, with his hands rested on his thighs. Announcer: Coming down to the ring at this time, hailing from Fire Island, New York... JOHNNY LEGEND! A smirk comes across Legend's face, as he begins to stroll down the ramp. The fans attempt to grab Legend, or beg for a high five or clap from him, however, Legend does not even pay attention them. Legend just makes his way to the ringside, and slides in. While in the ring, fireworks burst down upon the ring, fading away without touching the very ring. While this is happening, Legend flexes, with a smirk still upon his face... Legend than fixes his black wristbands and his right elbow pad, and awaits for his Connor MacDaddy. "Got you by the balls" by AC/DC blares over the PA system as large red X pyros fires off. Announcer: From Boston, Mass, he's a former XCW Champion and Hardcore legend, CONNOR MACDADDY! Connor steps out from behind the curtain, dressed in an old XCW T-shirt and baggy black jeans. In his hand he's carrying a black steel chair with the XCW logo painted on it, and Legend begins to argue with the ref about it. Suddenly Kevin stands up from the announcers table holding a microphone in his hand. Kevin: You know something Legend, Connor. I've decided, in the spirit of this evening, we'd make this match a classic no dq bout, like the XCW days of old! Legend seems upset and starts to yell at Kevin at the announce table. Connor tosses the chair into the ring, and lifts up the apron of the ring. He starts to slide out tables, trash cans, and assorted other weapons. He climbs into the ring, and Legend turns his attention to Connor. He charges at Connor, and Connor side steps him. Legend hits the rope and bounces back and gets a huge clothesline from Connor. Connor quickly grabs hold of the chair, and sets it up behind Legend. He stands behind Legend as Legend gets up. As Legend turns around, Connor bends over, and shoulder tosses Legend over his shoulder. Legend comes down hard onto the set up chair. He hold his back and rolls out of the ring, and Connor folds up the chair. He walks over to the ropes and slides under them. He still has the chair, and he walks over to where Legend is on his knees. As he brings the chair back to bring it down on Legend's head, Legend quickly low blows Connor. Connor keels over, holding his groin, and Legend takes advantage. He grabs the chair himself, and brings it down hard on Connor's head. Connor is laid out, and Legend begins to take advantage. Legend walks over to where the pile of weapons is laying on the floor of arena, and picks up a trash can. He walks around with it to where Connor is laid out, and waits. Connor starts to stand up again, and Legend brings the trash can back, and brings it down on Connor's head. The can crumples up and Connor goes down again. Legend throws the can into the ring and grabs Connor and throws him into the ring aswell. Connor's head begins to trickle blood and Legend is taking advantage. He grabs the trash and brings it back again, as Connor starts to stand up, but as Legend starts to bring the trash can down on Connor's head, but Connor grabs the can and stops him. Connor stands up as they both struggle over the can, and kicks Legend in the midsection. Legend lets go of the can and Connor brings it down on his face. Legend begins to stumble around dazed and Connor sets the can down. Legend turns around still alittle dazed, and Connor snap suplexes him right onto the can. Legend holds his back as he rolls off the flattened can, and Connor kicks the can out of the ring. Legend lays in the ring holding his back as Connor goes back to the outside to the pile of weapons. Connor grabs one of the tables, and slides it into the ring. He climbs into the ring, and sets it up in the corner. Legend is back to his feet and Connor is waiting. Connor lifts Legend up on his shoulders for a Death Valley Driver, but Legend reverses it into a crucifix pin…1…2…kick out! Connor and Legend both get up quickly, and begin exchanging lefts and rights. Connor starts to get the upperhand on Legend, and takes him back into the ropes. He whips Legend across the ring, and follows him to the ropes, clotheslining him over the ropes. Legend's body tumbles to the outside, and Connor is quickly out side of the ring himself. He walks around to the side of the ring the chair is set up and picks the chair up. He tosses it back into the ring, and goes back to where Legend is. Legend is to his feet now, and is crouching down on the other side of corner, and as Connor comes around, Legend hits him with a clothesline. He takes hold of the chair and brings it into the ring with him, and waits for Connor to get up. As Connor gets up, Legend bounces off the ropes, and baseball slides Connor, with the chair. The chair crashes into Connor's face, and Connor is knocked backwards into the crowd barrier. Legend has the upperhand as the cut on Connor's forehead has gotten alittle bit larger. The blood trickles down his face, as he shakes the cob-webs out of his head. Connor climbs into the ring and Legend is waiting. Connor gets to his feet and Legend swings the chair at him. Connor ducks the chair though, and grabs Legend by his legs. Legend drops the chair on the mat, and Connor lifts him up, and runs him into the table in the corner crashing Legend's back through the table. Connor keeps hold of Legend in this position, and turns him around, and walks over to where the chair is lying on the mat, and brings Legend down on it with a spinebuster. Kevin: My god that was violent: Mason: Damn, is Legend going to be able to get up from that one? Connor pins Legend, 1…2…3! Kevin: No he's not! Connor MacDaddy is going to the Clash of the Champions! Mason: But he's bloodied up, he's gonna have to get that stitched up before the Clash. Kevin: Well everyone, now it's time to go onto our Tag Team Qualifier for the Clash. The Prodigies vs. Ace and Radiant. Mason: It's been awhile since we last saw Ricky Craven and Kabal in the ring together, who knows how this match is going to turn out. |

Radiant has his SFT Tag Team Title over his shoulder. Kevin: Here we go folks. Mason: This ought to be a good match right here. The bell rings and Ricky climbs out of the ring, as does Ace. Kevin: Kabal and Radiant are going to start this match off it seems. They come together in the center of the ring, and tie up. Radiant takes control of the situation in the beginning. He knees Kabal in the stomach, and brings him to one of the turnbuckles. He whips him acrossed the ring into the opposite turnbuckle and charges towards it. Kabal puts up his elbow, and Radiant crashes into it. Radiant backs away holding his face, and Kabal spears Radiant, and begins firing rights into his face. Kabal gets up, and lifts up Radiant. He takes Radiant to the corner and tags in Ricky. Ricky sets Radiant up, and suplexes him. Radiant begins to get up, and Ricky takes a hold of his head. He twists his head in a neckbreaker. Radiant begins to crawl towards the corner that Ace is in, but Ricky pulls him away. Ricky lifts up Radiant's head and brings him up to his feet. Radiant though is quick to give Ricky a right to the gut, and he whips Ricky into his own corner. Radiant follows him, and tags in Ace. Ace climbs into the ring between the ropes, and climbs up the turnbuckle on top of Ricky. He begins to give Ricky a bunch of rights to the face, following it with a monkey toss. Ricky flies into the center of the ring onto his back. Ace begins to climb the turnbuckle and Ricky starts to stumble to his feet. Ace comes of the top rope with a flying clothesline, taking Ricky down. Ace is quickly on the offensive knocking Kabal off the ring apron, before turning back to Ricky. Ace kicks Ricky in the stomach and DDTs him to the mat, and Ricky's face bounces off. Ace goes for the pin, 1…2…and Kabal grabs his leg and pulls him off of Ricky. Ace gets up and walks over to the ropes and starts to yell at him, and Kabal responds by giving him a hangman on the top rope. Ace bounces off the ropes, and stumbles back, allowing Ricky to give him a roll up in the center of the ring, 1…2…Radiant is in to make the break. Kabal hits the ring at the same time and takes Radiant down. Ricky and Ace are both to their feet and begin to exchange blows back and forth. Kevin: Here we go, this looks like a XCW style tag team match. Kabal and Radiant begin fighting each other in one corner, reversing each other and giving stiff knife edge chops. At the same time, Ricky and Ace are in the opposite corner, where Ricky is kicking Ace repeatedly in the midsection. Both of the Prodigies now have the upperhand, and they turn around and look at each other. They nod their heads, and both whip Radiant and Ace towards each other. Radiant and Ace meet each other in the center of the ring, and stumble backwards after the collision. At the same time Ricky and Kabal both back drop Ace and Radiant. Mason: Whats that? Synchronized wrestling? Kevin: I guess so. Ricky and Kabal get up, and switch, Kabal this time picking Ace up off the mat, and Ricky taking care of Radiant. Ricky tosses Radiant over the top rope, and follows behind him. Meanwhile Kabal is still in the ring with Ace. He lifts Ace up to his feet, and whips him across the ring again. Ace comes off the ropes and is met witha spine buster from Kabal. Kabal now climbs ontop of Ace and is drilling left hands to the face of Ace. Kevin: Kabal looks like he has snapped in there. Outside the ring, Ricky sends Radiant into the guard rail with a huge irish whip. Ricky follows behind and nails him with a knee to the face. Ricky makes his way to the second step on the steel stairs and leaps off looking for a double axe handle but Radiant gets his foot up and drops Ricky with a kick to the face. Both men are down outside the ring. Mason: That was a desperation move if I have ever seen one. In the ring, Kabal sends Ace into the turnbuckle. Kabal throws a left hand to the face of Ace rocking him, he backs off a step and winds up for another, as he swings Ace blocks the punch and kicks Kabal in the gut. Ace now comes back with a few rights of his own. Kabal and Ace are exchanging rights and lefts as they make their way into the center of the ring. Kabal winds up and throws a haymaker but Ace blocks it and connects with another kick to the gut. Ace now drops Kabal with a DDT. Both men are on the mat. Ace is moving abit, he rolls over and swings his hand over Kabals chest. 1........2.....NO Ricky pulled Ace out of the ring by his feet. Ricky is now laying a few rights and lefts of his own into Ace. As Rick goes for a haymaker, Radiant grabs his arm and spins him around. Radiant kicks him in the gut and sets him up for a DDT out side the ring. Ace grabs hold of Ricky's legs as the team delivers a spike DDT on the cement!! Mason: That was not called for!!! That was a sickening move!!! Kevin: Hey, I think he got what he deserved, shut up and watch the match will you. Ace and Radiant are ack on their feet and have made thier way into the ring. Radiant helps Kabal to his feet and sends him across the ring into the ropes, as he comes off he is met with a duoble drop kick from both men. Ace makes his way to the apron leaving Radiant and Kabal in the ring. Radiant again helps Kabal to his feet and hooks his arms, he drops Kabal with a double underhook powerbomb into a pinning situation, 1.......2....NO Kabal somehow gets his shoulder up!! Kevin: How the hell did he do that??? Mason: I have no idea. Radiant looks frustrated as he makes his way back to his feet and tags in Ace. Ace walks around Kabal and starts to taunt the Prodigies member. As Kabal starts to get to his feet, we see Ricky starting to move himself. Ricky is back to his feet, and he walks around to the corner that Radiant is standing on. He grabs Radiant's leg, and pulls him off the apron and the two of them start exchanging rights and lefts. Meanwhile Ace is continuing to taught Kabal as finally Kabal gets to his feet when… Justin Sane: Hey Aussie! Just Sane is seen wheeling onto the stage, with a microphone. Ace is distracted as he starts to shout at Justin. Meanwhile on the outside, Ricky sets Radiant up, and gives him The Craven Drop! Radiant is out on the outside, and Ace is shouting over the top rope at Justin who has wheeled himself down to ringside. Seeing an opportunity, Kabal comes up behind Ace and rolls him up! 1…2…3! Kevin: THAT'S IT! THAT'S IT! Mason: All three of the Prodigies have just won this match! Kabal and Ricky quickly get out of the ring, and Ace is in the ring, completely confused. Radiant is still out on the outside, and the Prodigies celebrate as they walks up the ramp. |

The arena is silent for a moment before a very drunken Rumpke walks out from the backstage area. As he does so, "I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood kicks in and the fans go wild.
Mason: Only in America can people cheer an alcoholic. Kevin: He's not an alcoholic. He just likes to drink... all the time... When Rumpke stumbles halfway down the ramp, he realizes that his bottle is empty. He drops it on the ramp and pulls a can out of his back pocket. Mason: Reserves. Clever. He finishes his last beer and slides into the ring, at which point "Freetime" by Kenna starts to play and "The TV Guy" Rico Smith walks out carrying a small DVD player with a four inch screen. Kevin: I wonder if he's watching Rico Smith's Greatest Misses. Ha ha ha! Mason: Almost funny, Kev. Almost. He's not really paying attention, so the red pyro scares the daylights out of him. He jumps up and drops the DVD player. He seems upset as he keeps walking down the ramp. He walks up the steps and climbs over the top rope as "Absolute Power" by Tech N9ne blasts. The multitalented Amp walks out from the backstage area to a chorus of boos. Kevin: Hmmm... that's strange. There must be a lot of RWA fans in the house. Amp ignores the masses and he runs straight to the ring. Without wasting any time, he slides in and goes after the biggest man in the match: Rico Smith. Unfortunately for Amp, Rico is much stronger. He pushes Amp away and keeps him away with a firm hand on Amp's forehead. Rumpke is just standing in the corner watching. Mason: Good tactics by Rumpke. Let the other two men get tired and then go in for the kill. Amp manages to get away and he dropkicks Rico's knee, almost taking the big man down. Amp dropkicks the other knee and Rico goes down hard. Amp jumps to the top turnbuckle and goes for his "High Velocity" moonsault, but Rumpke throws his empty beer can and hits Amp in the face, causing him to mess up. He lands right on Rico's arm. Kevin: That's got to hurt both of them. Rico holds his arm as he stands up. He yells at Rumpke for throwing the beer can and Rumpke flips the big man off. The two meet in the center of the ring and Rumpke headbutts Rico's chest. Rico swings his arm and Rumpke ducks, then slides out of the ring. He looks under the ring for anything he can use against the giant. Finally he pulls out a bottle of Jim Beam. He slides back into the ring. Instead of using it as a weapon, he offers Rico a drink. Mason: Don't do it, Rico. This could be a trap. Rico smiles and he grabs the bottle. As he goes to open it, the smiles fades and he smashes the bottle over Rumpke's head. Kevin: You're right, Mason! It was a trap! Mason: That's not what I meant exactly, but that works. Amp in the meantime hits a cross-body block to Rico from behind, knocking the big man right onto Rumpke and the broken glass. Rico has a slight laceration above his right eye, but he manages to get up. He and Amp lock up and Amp is overpowered. He throws Amp into the turnbuckle and goes for a massive splash, but Amp gets out of the way just in time. Amp then rolls Rico up quickly. 1..... 2..... NO! Rico kicks out with authority. He stands up and sees Rumpke using the ropes to stand. Amp, too, is standing up. The three men meet in the center. Well, okay, Amp and Rico meet in the center. Rumpke stumbles over and then passes out. Kevin: One-on-one? Amp and Rico battle back and forth, tooth and nail. Amp gets as many shots to Rico's knees as the big man can handle. The two fight over to the corner, where Rico gets the upper hand. He sets Amp up on top and the two exchange hits. Finally, Rico climbs to the second turnbuckle and he delivers his "Reinstatement" finisher. Mason: For all of you lesser fortunate souls who couldn't find Rico Smith's biography, that is a chokeslam into a DDT. Kevin: Thanks, Mason. The force from this impressive move straight onto the mat keeps both men down, along with Rumpke who just threw up from the alcohol consumption. Mason: Everybody is out! This is chaos! The ref slowly makes it to his feet and he begins the count.... 1....2.....3...... Rumpke is up, and so is Rico. Amp walks over to Rico who is bracing himself on the ropes and punches him in the head, which sends him realing into the corner. Amp put's him up on the top turnbuckle and goes for a superplex. He hit's it and floats over into a cover. the ref counts.. 1.... 2.... Kickout! Mason: That was close! Kevin: Yeah it was, I Thought Amp had that won. Amp stays on the attack as he picks up Rumpke now. He whips Rumpke into the ropes, and kicks him in the stomach as he comes back. He then powerbombs Rumpke. Rico is back to his feet and he runs at Amp from behind knee level. Amp grabs his knee in pain. Rico slowly makes his way over to Rumpke. He picks him up and signals for something. He slides outside the ring and reaches underneath... and pulls out a... TV! Kevin: Oh crap... a TV! Mason: That is his signature! Rico slides in the ring with the small TV. Amp begings to get up, Rico runs and dives at Amp, smashing the TV over his head! The crowd bursts out in chants of "Rico! Rico! Rico!" THe glass shatters everywhere, and Amp falls, with the TV still around his neck. He makes the pin, as the ref comes to and counts it. 1..... 2..... 3!!! Mason: Rico wins it! He is the final entrant into the 2005 Clash of the Champions match! Kevin: Rico Smith, Kabal, Ricky Craven, Connor MacDaddy, Kyle Murphy and Christian Cage... will all compete in the Clash of the Champions! Mason: This will be the biggest Clash of all time! |

Kevin: Well here we go; it’s about time for the first of our main events!
Mason: And this has to be one of the biggest one on one match ups in XCW history. Ice and Aj Nin Red Rum, husband and wife, former XCW Champions, and probably the two most successful and popular wrestlers in XCW history are about to go at it! Kevin: And in “Heaven to Hell.” Another innovation to the wrestling world, brought to you of course, by Xtreme Championship Wrestling! Mason: The rules of Heaven to Hell are simple…at least they were, until we added the XCW twist to it. Kevin: Hanging above the ring, are both Ice, and Aj Nin’s wedding bands. They’re tied together with a string, and hanging from a hook. Hanging of course below the rings, is the Heaven to Hell cage. In this match, the winner is the first wrestler to scale the cage’s walls, set up the ladder at the top, climb to the top, and grab the wedding bands. We call this, “Till Death Do Us Part.” “Waiting to Die” by (hed) P.E. plays into the arena, as Aj Nin Red Rum walks out onto the stage. He’s wearing an old “Fire and Ice” t-shirt, his and Ice’s old tag team. He stands at the top of the stage as the crowd’s applause continues to grow. He basks in it, before he starts walking down to the stage. Chimpo the Chimp: From Ozone Park, New York. He’s an XCW legend, probably the best to come out of XCW. He’s a former XCW 3 Time World, 3 Time Intercontinental, 4 time United States, 2 time Television, and 2 time Tag Team Champion, swell as being a former SFT 3 Time World, Intercontinental, and 2 time United States champion, just to name a few. He’s the one, the only, Aj Nin Red Rum! The crowd goes ballistic as Aj Nin reaches the cage. He walks along as looks up at the hook hanging above the cage. From the distance, he can barely see the wedding rings. He walks over to the cage door, and opens it before sliding under the bottom rope and into the ring. He walks around the ring as he pumps the fans up with a XCW chant. Suddenly “Tumbling Dice” by the Rolling Stones begins to play. The stage lights go blue as Ice steps out from the back herself. She stands at the top of the ramp and gets an even larger reception from the crowd. She herself is wearing an old XCW “Halloween” pay-per-view t-shirt with Aj Nin’s picture on the front with a shovel and the XCW Title hanging from the end of it. The XCW chant has become deafening as Ice begins to make her way towards the ring herself. Chimpo the Chimp: And from Nome, Alaska, she’s a former XCW World, 3 time Intercontinental, United States, 2 time Television, 6 time Hardcore, European, Tag Team, and Women’s Champion, as well as being a former SFT Intercontinental, and Television Champion, Ice! The crowd erupts as Ice gets down to the cage. She looks into the cage at her husband, who is standing across the ring staring are her as she came down the ramp. Ice walks around the ring to where the door of the cage is, and slides in under the bottom rope. She stands up and walks into the center of the ring and looks up at the rings hanging above the cage. On the roof sits a ladder, smaller then the one that is going to be used for the Clash, but still adds enough height to it to make the match a little bit more exciting. Ice walks over to the corner opposite the one Aj Nin is standing in kneels down and bows her head for a second. Aj Nin watches on as if he’s growing impatient as the ref waits for Ice to stand again before calling for the bell. Kevin: Was Ice just praying? I never thought of her being a very religious person. Mason: Hey, if I was about to go through what she’s about to go through, I’d be praying too. Ice stares across the ring at her husband. The two of them walking out to the center of the ring, and just stare each other down. Aj Nin says something to Ice, and Ice reels back and slaps Aj Nin in the face. Kevin: Here we go! Mason: You know what’s funny Kev? Kevin: What Graham? Mason: If this wasn’t happening in the ring, it’d be considered domestic violence. Kevin: I never thought of that. Aj Nin stands there, and rubs his face. Ice continues to stare and him. Aj Nin chuckles a little, and brings his hand up like he’s about to slap Ice. Ice doesn’t even flinch, and yells at him to do it. Aj Nin brings his hand down, and shakes his head no, before suddenly kicking Ice in the midsection. Aj Nin is quick to push Ice back towards the cage walls, before whipping her across the ring. Ice hits the ropes and bounces back, and Aj Nin shoulder back tosses her. In mid air, Ice’s body crashes into the mesh of the cage and falls between the ropes and the wall. She starts to get up to her feet and Aj Nin charges her, driving his shoulder into her mid-section, crushing her between his force and the steel cage. Ice falls into a sitting position on the ring apron holding her mid-section and Aj Nin backs away for a second. Ice starts to stand up again, and Aj Nin walks over to her. He grabs her by the hair, and flips her over the top rope and onto the ring mat. Aj Nin stands over his wife, and smiles, before suddenly Ice kicks up, connecting with Aj Nin’s jaw. Aj Nin falls back, and starts to hold his jaw, and Ice gets herself to her feet. Aj Nin starts to walk towards her, and Ice is quick to dropkick him, sending him back into a turnbuckle. Ice thinking quickly runs at Aj Nin, jumps up, and monkey flips him out of the corner into the center of the ring. Aj Nin hits the mat hard, and Ice uses the opportunity to get the momentum moving in her favor. She climbs over to the nearest turnbuckle, and climbs to the top. As Aj Nin starts to stand up, she goes airborne, and hits a flip over neck breaker on her husband. Aj Nin is laid out from the move, and Ice gets to her feet. She stares up at the rings hanging above the ring, and decides to use the opportunity to go after them. She walks over to the door, and opens it, sliding out of the ring under the bottom rope. Aj Nin starts to get to his feet, and notices his wife outside of the ring. Aj Nin follows, and doesn’t go unnoticed by his wife. Ice crawls under the ring, and as Aj Nin is climbing between the ropes, he notices her boot slide under the ring apron. He hops down to the arena floor, and goes to lift the ring apron, but suddenly decides against it. Instead he climbs back up to the doorway, and watches. A few seconds go by, and suddenly Ice pokes her head out, she has a fire extinguisher in her hand. Aj Nin suddenly jumps off the ring apron, and brings his foot down on the back of Ice’s head. Kevin: Aj Nin anticipating the trap! Mason: Yea and he set one of his own. Ice holds the back of her head, and Aj Nin grabs the fire extinguisher. He takes hold, of hose and holds it down at her face. Ice sees this and before he shoots it off, slides back under the apron. Aj Nin laughs, and lifts the ring apron again, and starts to blindly shoot flame retardant chemicals under the ring. Ice in the meantime has come back out on the other side of the ring. She brings a 2x4 out from underneath with her. Aj Nin continues to spray the chemicals, until they run out. He crouches down, and lifts the apron, and notices that Ice isn’t coughing or anything. He slides under the ring, as if to look for her, and unknowingly, Ice comes up behind him. She brings the 2x4 back, and as Aj Nin pulls his head out from under the ring, brings it down on the back of his head, snapping the piece of lumber. Aj Nin goes down flat on the floor mat, and we can see blood coming out of the back of his head. Aj Nin seems like he’s knocked out, and Ice quickly begins to climb up the side of the cage. She gets halfway up before Aj Nin starts to notice her climbing, and pulls himself up to his feet. The blood trickles down his back as he does so, and he begins to take pursuit of his wife. Ice gets to the roof of the cage, and quickly goes for the ladder. She starts to set it up before noticing Aj Nin is now at the top of the cage. He pulls himself up onto the roof, and Ice forgets about setting up the ladder and she lets lay down on the roof again. She walks towards her husband, who is quick to give her a right to the jaw, and she backs away holding her jaw. Aj Nin walks up behind Ice, and grabs her around the mid-section. In a quick and sudden moment, he lifts Ice into the air and turns her in the air, bringing her front down hard on the mesh roof. Unsure if he planned it this way or not, Ice’s face bounces off one of the cross members giving the roof support, and a tooth is visibly knocked out of her mouth. Ice holds her mouth as Aj Nin places his foot on the back of her neck. He puts his hands up in the air as if in a victorious pose, and Ice tries to get him off of her. Aj Nin steps off of her neck, and Ice starts to get up. Aj Nin walks over and starts to lift her to her feet, and Ice blatantly low blows him. Aj Nin keels over, holding his groin, and Ice gives him a face buster on the mess cage. Aj Nin’s face bounces off the steel, and Ice takes the opportunity. She goes back to the ladder, and sets it up. She begins to climb it, until she notices Aj Nin get back to his feet. She’s halfway up the thing, so seeing a chance, she jumps off and goes for a spin kick. Aj Nin ducks it though, and Ice lands on the cage and rolls on her back, almost off the top. She stops herself, and teeters on the edge, and Aj Nin instinct fully reaches out and grabs her hand, and pulls her back onto the roof. Mason: Aj Nin, just saved Ice from the fall. Kevin: And he might regret that once this match is over. Aj Nin and Ice stare at each other, both a little surprised by what just happened. Suddenly in an instant, as if Aj Nin’s memory snaps back on, he grabs Ice’s legs and brings her down on the mesh hard with a spine buster. The impact puts a big dent in the roof of the cage, and suddenly Aj Nin seems to have an idea. Rolling his wife out of the divot in the roof, Aj Nin begins jumping up and down in it, making the divot larger. Ice is starting to get up, and Aj Nin grabs hold of her. He puts her head between his legs, setting up for a power bomb on the mesh. At the last second though, Ice reverses it, back tossing Aj Nin, and causing the mesh to give way beneath both of them. Aj Nin lands hard on his back, but Ice who wasn’t prepared lands in the ring in the sitting position, screwing up her tailbone and back. Both Ice and Aj Nin are in the ring in pain. Kevin: Oh my god! What a fall! Mason: Damn, that wasn’t good for either of them! Aj Nin isn’t moving at all, but is lying in the center of the ring, staring upwards with his eyes open and breathing. Ice on the other hand is rolling around in the ring, screaming in pain, while holding her back. The ref goes to her side, and then to Aj Nin’s. He asks Aj Nin something and Aj Nin can be seen nodding. The ref waves to the back, and two teams of EMTs run out from the back with two stretchers and two of them climb into the ring, and the cage is being lifted away from the ring. One goes to Ice’s side, and the other goes to Aj Nin’s. As soon as the cage is lifted high enough the others lift the two stretchers into the ring and climb in themselves. Ice starts to struggle to her feet, but can only get herself into a sitting position. Aj Nin continues to lie on his back, but is responding to the questions from the EMTs. The EMTs ask Ice to move her legs, and she lifts them up slightly, but painfully. Together the two of them help Ice to her feet. She begins to walk, but in a slow limp. Aj Nin himself is now sitting up, but is able to get to his feet himself, but he too limps. The two injured spouses look across the ring at each other as the EMTs try to persuade them to get onto the stretchers. Instead they push away the EMTs and both limp their way into the center of the ring. They begin a shouting match in the center of the ring, and the EMTs back away. Suddenly out of nowhere, Ice punches Aj Nin, and he goes down on the mat. Mason: Holy shit, they’re still fighting! Kevin: This is XCW at its finest with its finest! The EMTs try to step in between, but Ice pushes them out of the way. Aj Nin crawls to the ropes, and Ice limps behind him. As he begins to pull himself up, Ice gives Aj Nin another big right to the jaw, and he tumbles over the top rope and onto the arena floor. The crowd goes nuts for this, as for the first time in XCW history, someone is getting a standing ovation for right hands. Ice slides under the ropes and again the EMTs and refs try to step in. They hold Ice back, and Aj Nin sees an opportunity. He walks up to a restrained Ice, and kicks her in the stomach, before side suplexing her onto the arena floor mat. The EMTs grab hold of Aj Nin, as the ref goes down to Ice’s side. One EMT reaches into his kit, and pulls out a needle, and jabs it into Aj Nin’s arm. His attempts to resist slowly become less and less apparent, before finally about passing out. Another EMT reaches into his kit, and pulls out a needle, and injects it into Ice’s arm as she lies on the arena floor. She too slowly goes limp, and the two of them are loaded onto the stretchers. The EMTs begin to push them both towards the ramp as a “XCW, XCW, XCW” chant begins to ring from the crowd. Mason: I can’t believe it, these people want more? Kevin: They’re sick…and that’s why we love them. As Aj Nin’s stretcher gets to the top of the ramp, we see him move on it, and roll off the side. Ice hearing the chant as well begins to move on her stretcher, and starts to sit up. Aj Nin starts to limp down the ramp, half hurt, half dazed, and Ice gets off of her stretcher too. Both wrestlers feeding off the electricity of the crowd. Mason: Someone should really stop this match. Kevin: Yea I mean…wait a minute…wouldn’t we be the ones who’d have to stop it? Mason: Uh…yea… Kevin: Should we stop it? Mason: Ummm….no….lets not. Ice waits at the bottom of the ramp as Aj Nin approaches her. Ice goes for a right again, but this time Aj Nin ducks it. As Ice spins around, he grabs hold of her, and runs with her, tossing her back into the ring. He climbs in after her, and the cage begins to descend on the ring again. Both Ice and Aj Nin struggle to their feet at first, but before long, are exchanging blows back and forth. Aj Nin starts to get the upper hand, and whips Ice towards the ropes. Out of nowhere though, seeing a gap, Ice slides herself under the bottom rope just before the cage finishes coming down. The cage stops moving, with Aj Nin on the inside of the cage, and Ice standing on the outside. She waves at her husband, and begins to climb. Aj Nin in an act of desperation runs towards the cage wall where Ice climbing and dropkicks it. The drop kick forces Ice away from the cage for a second, but she begins to climb again. Her climb is slow due to being sore, but and Aj Nin climbs back out of the cage through the door. He walks up behind his wife, and grabs hold of her tights, and pulls her down off the wall. Ice doesn’t have time to react before getting her face smashed into the cage by her husband. Ice’s face bounces off the cage and she falls back onto the arena floor. Aj Nin begins his ascent towards the top of the cage, and it’s not much faster. Ice gets up off the floor and walks over to the cage, grabbing Aj Nin’s leg. She begins to try to pull him down, but she’s too weak. Aj Nin starts to kick at her, trying to get her to let go of him, and finally succeeds. He continues climbing to the top, and Ice grabs the wall of the cage to, following behind him. As they climb, Aj Nin struggles to pull himself up to the top of the cage, and this allows Ice a chance to catch up. Ice reaches over and grab’s Aj Nin’s head, and smacks his face into the support beam. Aj Nin keeps hold of the cage, as it seems a glancing blow, and he grabs hold of his wife and does the same. She lets one hand go of the cage though and hangs onto the side of it for dear life. Aj Nin takes the back of Ice’s head, and smacks her face into the steel. Ice’s grip gives way and she falls to the arena floor. She smacks the mat hard on the arena floor, and lies on the ground. Aj Nin pulls himself up onto the roof again, and we see Ice start to get herself back up to her feet. Meanwhile, Aj Nin begins to set up the ladder on the roof. Ice begins to climb up the cage again, and finally Aj Nin though the drowsiness and the pain is able to get the ladder to stand under the rings. He starts to climb up the ladder, and Ice is now halfway up the cage. He slowly steps up to the next rung of the ladder, and looks back. He sees his wife is now three quarters of the way up the side of the cage, and he starts to climb again. Ice finally reaches the roof of the cage; her face is bloody from being smacked on the cage wall. Aj Nin is now at about the top of the ladder, and is reaching for the rings. Unfortunately he’s still not quite close enough to get them. Ice reaches the ladder and begins to climb up the other side. Aj Nin notices and climbs up to the top rung. Ice quickly climbs to the top rung on her side, and gives Aj Nin a right to the face before he can reach the rings. Aj Nin grabs Ice’s head and smacks her face into the top of the ladder. Ice teeters on the top rung but keeps hold of the ladder. Aj Nin tries to push her off, but Ice doesn’t let go of her death grip on the ladder. She grabs Aj Nin around the head in a headlock, and jumps off the ladder, bulldogging him on the cage roof. Aj Nin’s face hits the roof and bounces off. Aj Nin appears to be knocked out, and Ice quick to her feet. She walks over to the ladder and begins to climb it, very slowly. Kevin: Here we go, this might be the match right here! Ice gets halfway up the ladder when suddenly on the ramp appears former XCW owner, Nathan Gust, a.k.a. Genocide, along with his hired monster Regiment. Nathan points at the top of the cage, and Regiment begins to walk towards it. The ref steps in trying to stop Regiment, but he quickly throws the ref out of his way. Regiment grabs hold of the cage, and begins to climb, the wall. Aj Nin is starting to get to his feet, and Ice is almost at the top of the ladder. She sees Regiment climbing, and quickly gets to the very top of the ladder. Regiment looks at her at the top of the ladder, and Ice freezes, Regiment then looks over at Aj Nin who is almost to his feet, and charges at him, giving Aj Nin a huge clotheslines. Ice takes the opportunity and grabs hold of the rings from the hook. Kevin: This match is over, Ice has the rings. Mason: But she was helped by Regiment? Why? Ice looks down now, as Regiment begins to lift Aj Nin up from the roof of the cage. Ice yells something at Regiment who turns around, and she flies of the top of the ladder, dropkicking Regiment. Regiment tumbles back, into Aj Nin, who falls back off the roof of the cage. Aj Nin falls and lands hard on his head and neck on the arena floor. Mason: Oh my god! Aj Nin just fell about 25 feet onto his neck! That can not be good! Kevin: Especially after the fall he took earlier tonight. Ice notices what has happened, and she crawls over to the edge of the cage. She looks down at Aj Nin, and starts to scream his name. Aj Nin doesn’t respond, lying completely still on the floor. Ice begins to panic and screams his name again, as the ref runs around to Aj Nin’s side. Kevin gets from behind the announcers table, and is quickly on his cell phone. Mason: My god, Aj Nin is hurt, he’s hurt bad. Ice continues to shout from the roof of the cage, and suddenly Regiment comes up behind her. He grabs Ice by the hair, and lifts her up. Ice tries to fight out of it, trying to elbow him to let go. Regiment lifts her up above his head, as if to throw her off the roof of the cage, but Genocide is heard at the bottom of the ring yelling at him not to. Regiment seems hesitant, but decides instead to through Ice down on the roof of the cage. Ice bounces off the cage, but isn’t knocked out. Genocide tells Regiment to come down, and Regiment starts to climb down the cage. Meanwhile EMTs again run down to the ring, and around the cage. They get to Aj Nin who still hasn’t moved, and immediately start giving him CPR. Ice is back to her feet on the top of the cage, and immediately starts to climb down the cage. On of the refs holds her back as she shouts Aj Nin’s name. The EMTs load him onto a stretcher, and one of them climbs on top continuing to give him CPR. Ice runs to the side of stretcher yelling her husband’s name as they begin to wheel it back towards the back. Kevin walks over to the announcer’s table. Kevin: Come on man, we have to go. Mason: What? What’s wrong, what’s going on? Kevin: JUST COME ON! Mason: But who’s… Kevin: Phil and Steve are on their way out…but WE NEED TO GO NOW! Mason's eyes grow wide as he takes off his headset, and the two of them run up the ramp towards the curtain right past Regiment and Genocide. Genocide has a solemn look on his face as he extends his arms and he then shakes Regiment's hand. With an evil grin on his face, he starts to walk backstage with his monster following. Phil and Steve run out of the back, and Mason stops and tells them something, and they run down the ramp to the announce table.

Phil: Steven…its time.
Steve: Philip…don't ever call me Steven again. Phil: Right, but we are back and ready as the six men involved in this match are in the ring! ::Ricky Craven, Kabal, Rico Smith, Connor MacDaddy, Christian Cage and Kyle Murphy all stand their ground in the XCW ring surrounded by tables, chairs, other objects of brutality and of course…ladders galore! They take a moment to observe their surroundings and get a feel for the arsenal they have at their disposal.:: Steve: Look at it, can you smell the intensity? Phil: I certainly smell something that's just a little bit off! Steve: Ah…must've been those 8 bean burritos I had an hour ago. Phil: God help you… ::The bell rings and we are off. Each man goes after their nearest opposition. Kyle Murphy grabs Rico Smith and the two begin trading punches. Craven and MacDaddy lock up and begin struggling. Cage grabs Kabal and they too start duking it out. The six men all trade lefts and rights. Rico takes Murphy by the arm and whips him into the ropes. Murphy bounces back, Rico bends down but Murphy telegraphs it and stops short. He drops to his knees and uppercuts Rico sending him stumbling back. Murphy gets up, runs and clotheslines Rico, sending them both over the ropes onto the mat below. Craven and MacDaddy trade left and rights. Craven swings but MacDaddy ducks, picks him up and hangs him out to dry on the ropes. Craven stumbles back and sets himself up for a neckbreaker. MacDaddy mounts him and starts pummeling him with punches. Cage and Kabal are swinging at each other with wreckless abandon. Cage kicks Kabal in the gut and attempts a suplex. Kabal swings over and counters it grabbing Cages back. He kicks him in the ass sending him to the corner turnbuckle. Cage turns around in time to see Kabal leaping onto him a in a splash in the corner. Cage drops down to his ass from the impact. Kabal picks him up by the hair though and they resume trying to kill each other.:: Steve: What a chaotic start to this match, there are people fighting all over the place!!! Phil: And we still have that title hanging 20 feet above the ring, who will be crowned the last XCW World Champion!!!! Steve: Shouldn't that be a question? Phil: What are you talking about? Steve: Well, you simply said, "who will be the next XCW world Champion!!!!" when it should've been, Who will be the next XCW World Champion???? Or at the very least "!?!?!?!" Phil: Shut UP Steve, Jesus… Steve: Walks! (starts rapping) ::Murphy and Rico are battling it out on the outside of the ring. Murphy grabs Rico's head and slams it against the guard rail. Rico looks at him, grabs his head and bashes Murphy's head against the guard rail. Murphy looks up angrily at Rico and slams his head against the rail again, this time with much more force. Rico is a little dazed but still looks up, he grabs Murphy and slams HIS head against the guardrail. Murphy gets up equally dazed as they both rub their heads. Murphy then grabs Rico and with a small jump, obliterates Rico's head into the guard rail. Rico collapses to his knees, but begins to slowly rise to his feet. He rises and grabs Murphy's head. With a large grunt and a jump, Rico bashes Murphy's head into the guard rail with sickening impact, sending Murphy to his knees. The two competitors stand up face to face, barely able to stand at the moment and start swinging at each other some more. Craven thrusts his hips up and throws MacDaddy off of him. Ricky rolls quickly to his feet and meets the on coming Connor with a clothesline. The two get up and Connor instantly spears Craven through the ropes. The two fall to the floor next to the announce table. Connor picks up Craven and Irish whips him into the stairs with a clang. He goes looks at the weapons scattered about and sees a steel chair. He picks it up and with a running start, charges Craven looking for decapitation. Connor swings but hits nothing but steel, killing his hands. Craven dives out of the way of the chair, gets up and kicks Connor in the gut. He takes Connor by his head and DDTs him onto the steel chair.:: Phil: Connor's getting up and is covered in blood! Steve: Those stitches from his match obviously didn't last long at all! Phil: The first one to wear the crimson mask in the match, but I have a feeling he won't be the last! ::Cage takes Kabal and whips him into the ropes. Kabal comes bounding back looking for a clothesline, Cage ducks and Kabal bounces off the ropes again. Cage picks him up into a gorilla press and converts into a Diamond Cutter, slamming Kabal's face onto the mat. Cage picks Kabal up and sends him into the corner. He quickly follows and starts laying in the boots to Kabal's stomach, sending him slowly down the turnbuckle onto his ass. Rico punches Murphy, sending him staggering back near the steps in the corner. Rico runs after him but Murphy senses it, ducks and flips Rico over the steps onto the floor. Kyle looks around and finds a table against the guard rail. He picks it up and sets it up on the floor next to him. He walks over and picks up Rico by the hair and walks him to the table. He takes Rico's head and slams it against the table before rolling him on top of it. Murphy looks around sees a ladder. He grabs the ladder and drags it into the ring. Cage and Kabal are battling it out when all of sudden they are both taken out by a man charging at them with a ladder. Murphy uses the width of it to bash the two several times on the ground before setting it up near the side of the table and Rico. Murphy looks down and is annoyed as he sees that Rico is nowhere to be seen. He looks around and begins wandering around the ring, looking for Smith.:: Steve: Where IS Rico? I didn't see him leave and we would've seen him walk out of the arena for sure! Phil: Oh my god Steve, I see him…is that a…? Steve: YES! IT IS!!! ::Rico creeps out from under the ring behind where Kyle is looking. He taunts the crowd a little as he pulls out from under the ring, cord first a TV much to the pleasure of the crowd. He calls over Kyle and taunts him a little. Kyle angrily goes towards him but is caught tremendously off guard as the decent sized TV is launched into the air and smacks him right in the head. Rico runs into the ring and punches Kyle a couple of times finishing him off. He drags the TV into the middle of the ring and sets it up. He stands up and goes for Kyle. Cage gets up from his daze and knocks the ladder off from under him. Christian looks at Rico with his back turned and runs towards him, he leaps in the air and connects with a bulldog that sends Rico face first into the TV. Christian looks around and grabs the ladder and sets it up in the middle of the ring. Looking around he sees no one around to stop him. He begins his ascent to the top.:: Phil: Christian Cage could win the title right now! That quick! There's no one around to stop him! Steve: This may be it…but that would be SO disappointing… Phil: Why's that!? Steve: Well…we're only into like the 3rd page… Phil: Shut up. ::Craven looks up and sees Christian going up there and runs into the ring. He begins climbing the opposite side of the ladder. The two race up to the top but start trading punches.:: Steve: This is always a dangerous situation. That ladder just isn't very stable and who knows what else will happen! Phil: Like…Connor MacDaddy coming in!!! Look! ::A bloodied Connor enters the ring and see the fighting at the top. He runs towards it and pushes the ladder. The two fall off the ladder and get crotched onto the ropes! The both bounce off though and are sent flying over onto the table below, smashing it to smithereens. Connor sets the ladder back up in the middle of the ring and tries to climb it but Kabal has other ideas as he turns Connor around and hits him with stiff haymaker. He hits him with a couple more, sending him into the corner. Kabal goes back to the ladder, collapses it and puts in the opposite corner. Murphy gets up slowly from the TV smashing in his face induced daze to see Kabal whipping Connor into the ladder in the corner, complete with upside down impact. The ladder falls on top of Connor who doesn't move very much from underneath. Murphy gets to his feet and superkicks Kabal. He picks him up and drags him over to the ladder. He grabs his head and sends him over in a suplex right onto the ladder.:: Phil: Kyle Murphy just sent Kabal into a ladder, ON TOP of Connor! Steve: Two birds with one ladder!! Phil: Cute… Steve: Thanks, I try. ::Murphy rolls Kabal off of the ladder and smashes Connor with it, he takes it and smashes Kabal with it as well before walking to the middle of the ring and setting up the ladder there. Murphy begins to climb it in the middle of the ring and looks to have no distractions to prevent him from getting the title.:: Phil: Now Murphy is up and trying to get the title! Steve: He may be going too slow, I think I see Rico shifting around in his TV there. ::Rico indeed sticks his head out of his TV, his face busted open because of the glass. Rico stands up and kicks his broken TV out of the ring. He sees Murphy climbing the ladder and looks around for something to do. He runs over to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle. He goes to the top and stands up.:: Steve: Rico looks like he might be doing something crazy here! Phil: When doesn't he look like he might be doing something crazy!? Steve: I dunno! So lets just assume he's going to do something crazy!!! Phil: It doesn't look like he will though, with Christian Cage winding up with a steel chair and all. ::Christian Cage, back from the table, has a steel chair in hand, winds up and hits Rico squarely in the back, making him tumble to the mat with a thud. Christian then replaces him at the top turnbuckle and dives off as high as he can. He catches Murphy completely off guard with a tremendous top rope spear off the ladder and slams Murphy hard onto the ground. The impact takes a lot out of both of them and they both end up on their backs catching their breath. Craven gets up outside of the ring and grabs a ladder and tosses it into the ring. Craven gets into the ring and sets the ladder up near the side, adjacent to the ladder already erected. He looks up at the title just then and goes for to climb the ladder under it. Rico gets up from the chair shot to the back and attacks Craven from behind. Rico grabs Craven's head and bangs it against a rung, then the rung below it, then the rung below it and so forth to the bottom rung of the ladder.:: Steve: His bell was…rung!!! Phil: If I get you a gun, will you shoot yourself, please? Steve: Since you asked nicely…NOT. ::Rico picks Craven and sets him up in a bulldog. He runs up the rungs, leaps off them, twists, bounces off the ropes and twists some more, but Craven counters the acrobatics and sends him over the top with a belly to back suplex that plants Rico right on the back of his neck. Craven picks up Rico and tosses him into the ropes. Rico comes bouncing back and is hit with a missile dropkick that sends him flying over the ropes. Craven goes after him and as he bends down to get to him, Rico swings at him and absolutely destroys Craven with a shot to the head with a steel chair he found on the outside. Craven collapses in a heap. Rico looks at the now immensely dented chair and tosses it aside. He goes back into the ring and picks up Craven. He puts Craven's head between his legs and lifts him up for a powerbomb. Craven holds his head though and throws a flurry of punches. It staggers Rico and they fall towards the ladder. Craven hooks his legs around Rico's neck and grabs onto the ladder. He positions him against the ropes and launches himself into a 180 and hurricanrana's Rico over the ropes onto the mat! Connor gets up from the corner and sees the two rising to their feet. He bounds off the ropes and suicide dives the two of them through the ropes and the three tumble to the ground below. Christian gets up first and sees this. He climbs up a turnbuckle just as the three are getting up and he leaps off into a splash and all four go tumbling to the ground. Murphy is up and sees the wreckage. He runs to a turnbuckle and leaps off into a splash…all five of them tumble to the ground. Kabal is left alone in the ring…He looks up at the ladder under the title and he climbs quickly to the top of it. His hands are basically touching the title.:: Phil: Kabal is gonna win it right here! The rest of them literally tossed themselves out of the match! Steve: What the hell is he doing!? He can win the title right here! ::Kabal looks at the title and then looks at the five men below, all slowly gathering to their feet. He looks around and shouts "X C FUCKIN W" He taunts the crowd and then takes a tremendous leap off the top of the ladder, over the other ladder, over the ropes and into the crowd of wrestlers. A giant XCW chant starts in the crowd and lasts while the competitors rise to their feet.:: Phil: THAT is what XCW is all about Steve! THAT RIGHT THERE! Steve: He just gave up the title for…a big leap!!! Phil: INTO OTHER PEOPLE!!! Steve: Touche… ::The six of them all begin to brawl all over the place, splitting up into different sections of the ring. Connor picks up a steel chair and whacks Christian Cage with it, denting it to unusable fashion. He tosses it aside. Murphy looks around and finds a chair of his own, he uses it to bash Rico Smith and dents it incredibly. Connor looks around and finds another chair, he picks it up and finds Craven, he turns him around and obliterates him, and tosses the destroyed chair aside like he does it for a living. Murphy finds a chair for himself and finds someone to whack it with, this time its Kabal. He tosses it aside completely unusable as well. From the other side of the ring he catches Connor in his sights. Connor catches his eye as well. They look frantically for a chair to use, but find nothing.:: Steve: All the chairs in the ringside area are dented and unusable! Phil: What's a wrestler to do? Steve: Ask the crowd! ::Connor looks around and turns to the crowd. "SOMEONE GIVE ME A CHAIR!!!!" Suddenly the entire front section of the seats are flying into the air. Connor ducks as dozens of chairs are launched into the ring. Murphy looks to see whats going on, he then calls to the crowd on his side and the entire front section of the XCW Arena has thrown their chairs into the ring.:: Phil: Holy shit! Look at all those…CHAIRS!!! Steve: I've never seen anything like this! I swear! Phil: It's so extreme!!!! ::The barrage of chairs stops finally and Connor grabs one and runs into the middle of the ring where Murphy meets him there. They knock the ladder out of the way and start swinging. Connor dodges a chairshot and goes after Murphy, but Kyle is too quick as well as the two veterans are looking for the kill. Connor turns around and holds the chair up but Murphy hits a variation of the mule kick and the chair is rammed into MacDaddy's face. Kabal gets up from the wreckage of chairs and picks up a ladder.:: Steve: That's the third ladder tonight!!! Phil: That's it? ::Kabal tosses the ladder into the ring, knocking Murphy with it.:: Phil: What's with him being hit by thrown objects lately, shit… ::Kabal rolls into the ring and sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring. He looks around and sees the other two ladders and seemingly for shits and giggles, sets up the other two ladders beside the one in the middle. He begins to climb the one in the middle. Murphy gets up and begins to climb up on the other side of the same ladder. With each climb of the rung, the anticipation mounts, there is no one to stop them except each other. Kabal and Murphy make their way to the top of the ladder, they see each other and begin trading heavy lefts and rights. Murphy nails Kabal heard and it dazes Kabal, sending him lurching back but he keeps his grip on the ladder. He winds back and comes in with his own haymaker, sending Murphy stumbling down a rung or two. Murphy makes his way back and feels some shaking. Connor is up, he bounces off the ropes and slams into the ladders. Murphy and Kabal both jump and snag the belt.:: Steve: Connor has knocked down the ladders and all that's left is Kyle Murphy and Kabal HANGING BY THE WORLD TITLE!!!!! ::Kyle and Kabal are fighting viciously, kicking and scratching what they can get. Kyle gets his legs wrapped around Kabal and pushes him down. Kabal's grip slips and he goes flying, but he catches Kyle's foot.:: Phil: Kabal is still in this thing, if he can pull Kyle Murphy off that title, this match continues!!! ::Connor looks at them and grabs a ladder he sets it up and climbs it about halfway. He turns around and eyes the both of them. He dives off into a flying spear, Kyle lifts up just enough so that Kabal takes the brunt of it. The two XCWers slam hard into the chair and ladder laiden ring. Kyle is left hanging onto the title. With one hand, he unbuckles the belt and plummets the 20 feet to the ground. The bell rings.:: Steve: KYLE MURPHY HAS JUST WON THE XCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! Phil: He fought as hard as anyone and its hard to see all these XCW legends in one ring and not get the recognition they deserve, but there can only be one champion and that my friends is KYLE MURPHY!!!!!! ::The whole crowd explodes, an enormous XCW chant encompasses the arena. Kyle slowly gets up and sets up a ladder in the middle of the ring. He climbs to the top of it and hoists the title in the air and the crowd roars again.:: Steve: There he is ladies and gentleman! XCW's HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! |

"Enter Sandman" by Metallica is still playing and Kyle Murphy is holding the XCW Title high in the air. With a smile on his face, he waves good-bye to all of his opponents from this match.
Phil: What an amazing night it has been. We've seen ups, we've seen downs, and now we see the final XCW Champion! Sadly, it's all over now. Steve: We do, however, have a final farewell from Kevin and Mason. The two founders of XCW are standing at the top of the ramp without smiles like Kyle's. Kyle climbs down the ladder and he leaves the ring, belt in hand. Halfway up the ramp, all those who competed earlier walk out: Christian Cage, Bone Breaker, Adam Kratz, Connor MacDaddy, Johnny Legend, Ricky Craven, Kabal, Ace, Radiant, Rumpke, Amp, Rico Smith, but no Ice. Mason: We regret to inform you that something terrible has happened here tonight. Due to a horrible accident earlier tonight, one of our stars was rushed to the hospital. Kevin: That man is William Schorg, known to you all as Aj Nin Red Rum. Very few of us on this stage knew him for the man he truly is... or was. The room goes silent and Kyle's jaw drops. Mason: Moments ago, we were informed via telephone by Becky Thompson that her husband has passed. Paralysis from the fall put the man into a coma, of which he slipped in and out of. Kevin: He couldn't fight the pain any longer. In his last moments with his wife, he was quoted saying, "Tell the world I'm sorry for all of the horrible things I have done. Tell the fans that XCW lives on in their hearts. Tell Kyle Murphy that I wish I could've been there when he put honor back into our title." At this, a single tear drops from Kyle's eye. The emotion builds as he walks up to the two men who made him famous. Kyle takes the microphone and he holds the XCW title firmly in his grasp. Kyle Murphy: Tonight, you witnessed the end of a legacy. We have finished off XCW the right way these past few hours. This title has meant so much to so many over the years, but no more than it did to Aj Nin Red Rum. Will, friend... He looks up with a smile. Kyle Murphy: We'll meet again someday. He gets a little choked up as he raises the XCW Title high in the air. Kyle Murphy: This one's for you. He lowers his head and Kevin pats him on the back. Kevin: Ladies and gentlemen... Xtreme Championship Wrestling is officially out of business. It has been an amazing five years on-and-off, but it is now finished the way it should've been when SFT was born. Mason: Good night, fans. Thank you for inviting us into your living rooms for the very last time. Each and every competitor on the stage hold their arms up forming an X as the scene fades to black. Fade to darkness... |
