The show begins with a shot of the cage as pyro goes off at the ramp entrance by the XTRON as well as down in the ring from the ring posts. The crowd is on their feet with signs up in the air. Some signs are caught by the camera that say, “Famine is GOD!” “I Got An Official Spice One Bong!” “Hunter Speared Me” “JENSEN Kent for Prez” “I got a Codey Hart Attack!” And many more. As the pyro goes off, “One by One” by Alter Bridge begins to play as the crowd is still on their feet. General Manager JENSEN KENT makes his way out to the arena. He stops at the top of the ramp with a mic in hand as the crowd quiets down.
JENSEN: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to MONDAY NIGHT MASSACRE! Tonight I’m all business and I have no patience for people making me look bad. See, I am the General Manager of this show. And it’s my job to make sure that I do everything in my power to get the ratings up, bring in the fans so I can fill those seats each and every single week. But I can’t do that if people let me down. And if it’s one thing I can’t stand it’s people making me look bad. Because when you make me look bad, it’s not going to go well for you. So right now, I want JAX MILLINUX and TROY MESSIER out here……NOW!!!
TROY and JAX make their way out to the arena as people can see that the look on JENSEN’S face is one of pure anger.
JENSEN: For the last couple of weeks you two sorry sons of bitches have made me look bad. I’ve given you opportunity after opportunity. But if you’re not willing to put in the work to become one of the best here, then you’re wasting my time. So as of right now, you’re both fired. Security, get these losers out of my arena.
Security comes out and escorts both men out of the arena as JENSEN waves goodbye.
JENSEN: Now then. I have business to attend to, and believe me, this night is NOT over yet. I have a few people I need to address and they are not going to be happy when I deliver my message. I have a reputation for being a very serious businessman. We can all have fun and a few laughs from time to time but when you come to work for me, you better be sure that you give it a hundred percent. If not you’ll see yourself on the unemployment line or on ANARCHY which is pretty much the same thing. Now ladies and gentlemen…….On with the show!
JENSEN leaves the arena as the fans are shocked yet excited at the GM’s actions.
”The End of Heartache” by Killswitch Engage begins to play as the crowd is on their feet for the Demon King. The music plays but FAMINE is nowhere to be seen. Then, the music stops for a moment. It starts again but no FAMINE. Suddenly the lights go out. Smoke fills the ring and the floor outside the ring. Two spotlights hit the rafters as the fans look up. Coming down is an upside down cross with someone on it. No one is looking but inside the ring is FAMINE OF THE VILE. He seems to be waiting for the cross to come down. As we look to see who it is we can now confirm that it is none other than PAUL FROST! The crowd looks on to see exactly what it is the Demon King will do. As the cross finally lowers into the ring, the lights are back on. The music stops as FAMINE grabs a mic.
FAMINE: I didn’t come here for a match tonight. I came here because you are all fools! I have shown you the warnings. I have tried telling you time and time again. And yet no one listens. No one understands that I mean business. That’s why tonight, the man you see before you is being made an example of. His blood will be on the hands of JENSEN KENT, who put him in a match against me. So what happens next will be his fault and not mine. NICK RYAN this message is for you. Next week is XMAS X-TREME. And when we face off for the final time, you will do nothing but beg for your life. No one, not even your brother will be able to save you from my Devil’s Playground. Just like no one is going to save this poor son of a bitch from what I’m about to do.
FAMINE puts the mic down and goes outside the ring. He goes under the ring and grabs a barbed wire 2x4. He comes back in the ring and grabs the mic again.
FAMINE: The blood of this sacrificial lamb signifies the glory, the power and the strength of all that I hold sacred!
BOOM!
FAMINE takes the barbed wire 2x4 and whacks PAUL FROST in the chest. The 2x4 gets stuck and FAMINE rips some skin off as he pulls it. Blood immediately starts flowing and covering the mat. FAMINE puts his hands on the bloody chest of PAUL FROST and then rubs it on his face and chest! Suddenly, from the crowd comes NICK RYAN! He runs behind FAMINE and hits a hard elbow to the back of the head. FAMINE falls down and hits his head with the 2x4. Blood now begins to flow from HIS head as he stands back up only to be knocked back down by a hard clothesline. NICK then takes the 2x4 and tries to hit FAMINE with it but the lights immediately go out. When they come back, FAMINE is gone as NICK looks around to see if he can find him. Suddenly an image appears on the XTRON….
FAMINE: I hope that you enjoyed yourself tonight NICK. Because that will be the very last time you EVER get the upper hand. I’ll see you at XMAS X-TREME.
The XTRON goes black as NICK stands in the ring looking pissed off and focused on his upcoming match.
WINNER: NONE
"The Sign" by Ace Of Base plays over the PA system as XWF Interviewer STEVE SAYORS steps onto the entrance ramp to a moderate applause. SAYORS walks down the ramp with a clipboard under one arm and a microphone in his free hand. SAYORS approaches the ring in a businesslike manner before entering, stepping towards the center of the ring as his music fades, raising a microphone.
STEVE SAYORS: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I apologize for delaying the scheduled match, but I've come here by order of XWF Home Office. There's a very important announcement that's about to take place, and you all need to hear it.
The crowd don't really seem to be buying it, only paying half interest in what SAYORS has to say.
STEVE SAYORS: You may have heard the rumors recently about a former XWF superstar considering visiting the XWF for the holiday season. Now, we haven't been able to put a name to the superstar yet, but we have been able to ascertain he's male- but even more importantly, I have been informed that XWF Home Office has been in touch with this superstar and that he will be making an appearance right here on MASSACRE, tonight.
That raises the crowd's interest, a murmur of excitement echoing through the arena. SAYORS simply nods quietly before continuing.
STEVE SAYORS: I've been informed that this mysterious superstar has booked this particular time to return to the XWF, make himself known and explain what he plans to do. So without any further ado, I'd like to invite him to come down to the ring and join me.
At first there doesn't seem to be much of a response to SAYORS' request, no movement coming from a ramp, no music on the PA and no video on the X-Tron. SAYORS waits patiently as the crowd buzzes in interest, as seconds pass, then a minute, then two minutes. Finally, SAYORS raises his microphone and speaks apologetically to the crowd.
STEVE SAYORS: I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, we're currently experiencing some difficulties. Please allow us some time to locate this star, who's obviously gone astray on his way to the...
SAYORS gets no further as suddenly the loud splashing sound of a drum's cymbal echoes around the arena, followed by the heavy, slow metallic drumbeats of "Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More, and the crowd explodes as it becomes obvious who's about to step out of the entrance curtain.
STEVE JASON: Merry freakin' Christmas Toronto, Canada!
The response of the crowd is predictable to say the least, thunderous shouts and 'Let's go SJ!' chants shaking the arena. SAYORS merely watches with a goofy grin before speaking up himself.
STEVE SAYORS: That's right, XWF! Our special guest for the holidays is none other than three-time Universal Champion STEVE JASON! SJ, what can I say- it's been a very, very long time since we've seen you in any kind of capacity here on MASSACRE. Thank you for joining us.
STEVE JASON: Well, what the hell can I say? Up before this point, I was actually planning to spend Christmas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You ever been to that place, SAYORS? Let me tell you, if there's one place the Christmas spirit AIN'T, it's there.
STEVE SAYORS: What the heck were you doing there?!?
STEVE JASON: Long story. Business, I guess you could say. At any rate, I wound up seeing a few people dressed up as Christmas elves at the camp I was staying at... and funnily enough, the first thing I was reminded of was none other than yourself, SAYORS. And that got me thinking... how's the XWF doing nowadays? It's been a while since I last spent a Christmas with my friends and comrades in the XWF. Two years. And I figured it might be time to catch on up with them again. So people, you have SAYORS to thank. If he didn't look so much like a goddamn Santa's helper, I wouldn't be here.
The crowd rumbles with laughter at an infamouse 'SJ making fun of SAYORS' moment. SAYORS' expression goes sheepish and he almost seems embarrassed for a moment before replying.
STEVE SAYORS: Thanks... I think. So what's the deal, SJ? We know that you've contacted the XWF Home Office in recent days and we can confirm that you've spoken with JONATHYN, JENSEN KENT and ZACH RIZZA, but so far none of the details we've heard so far have been revealed. What's going on?
STEVE JASON: I'm coming back for the holidays, pretty much. I'm gonna be on this show, I'm gonna be on ANARCHY for Christmas, I'm gonna be on IMPACT, and yes, I'm going to be at X-MAS X-TREME. And I'm even going to be at the next MASSACRE. I hear somebody's getting hitched and they're handing out awards, and I'm not one to pass up the chance of a party.
SAYORS pauses, then replies by asking the question on everybody's minds.
STEVE SAYORS: What we all want to know is are you going to be wrestling any...
STEVE JASON: Nope. Not happening, I'm afraid. I'm here to spend some time with my second family, a group of strong friends, and to reminisce on old times. That's all it's gonna be. I'm happy to talk to people, and I'm happy to attend to any business, but wrestling is not on my to-do list. With that said... I AM promising a big surprise for Christmas. One that I think quite a lot of people here in the XWF will be rather thrilled to see.
STEVE SAYORS: A surprise? Come on, SJ, you can't leave us hanging like that. What are you planning?
SJ's response is merely to chuckle quietly, shaking his head.
STEVE JASON: Uh uh, SAYORS. As everyone knows, the best Christmas gifts are the ones that are kept a surprise. I wouldn't want to ruin the fun for everybody, so I'm saying nothing.
STEVE SAYORS: I can't make you change your mind?
STEVE JASON: Fraid not. But don't worry, SAYORS. I can assure you that these are gifts that you- and the XWF in general- are really, really going to like. Make no mistake, after I've unveiled what I have for you guys, let's just say it's really, really going to be the season to be jolly. Just two more nights to go, and you'll have it. But let's not focus on that for now. For now, let's just make it clear and let it be known- for a short time, at least, the Premier Man on Massacre... has come home for the holidays. And that...
SJ tilts the microphone back suddenly, and his voice changes from its usual calm and casual tone to a powerful, intense, booming voice that echoes throughout the arena, backed up by a considerable portion of the crowd that says his memorable catchphrase along with him.
STEVE JASON: ...IS UNDENIABLE!
At that very moment, green and red pyros fire off in every which direction as red and green confetti begins to drop down from the ceiling and 'Midlife Crisis' begins to play again. SJ chuckles quietly at the display before smirking at an astounded SAYORS and turning his back on him, an enigmatic smile crossing his face as he slides out of the ring and begins to make his way up the ramp. STEVE JASON is back for the holidays... and what does he have planned for the holiday season?
Sure enough, a bright silver plume of sparkler fire begins to boil up around the entrance ramp for several seconds and the eerie introduction strings of Midlife Crisis begin to play. When it fades, the familiar tall, lean form of STEVE JASON is standing on the ramp, head bowed slightly, clad in a beige suit jacket and pants along with a black mock neck undershirt. The crowd's excited shout becomes louder at the appearance of the man they call SJ, and with a sudden jerk of his head upwards and a flash of his ice-blue eyes, SJ begins a powerful stride down the ramp, nodding in acknowledgement to the fans offering him their cheers. Unlike SAYORS, his entrance to the ring is far less dignified and far more action-based, hopping straight up onto the apron before literally slinging himself over the top rope, touching down catlike to his feet. SAYORS jumps backwards in shock and surprise from the move, while SJ simply chuckles quietly, waiting for his music to die down. As it does, the cheers of the crowd can still be heard quite loudly as SJ smirks and speaks into his microphone.
DOWNFALL is already in the ring waiting for ANDREW CLASH to come down. As DOWNFALL stands there waiting for him, he doesn’t see that CLASH is coming from the crowd and trying to sneak attack him. He hit’s DOWNFALL hard with an elbow to the back of the head knocking him down. CLASH tries to get the advantage but out of nowhere, DOWNFALL grabs a hold of CLASH and locks in the Dragon’s Fang! CLASH tries to break free but the hold proves too much for him as he taps out.
WINNER: DOWNFALL
After the match the cameras quickly fade into SCOTT CHARLOTTE, VIOLET and SIEGFRIED in a room on a blue sofa with a table in front of them. SIEGFRIED and VIOLET are looking through a book of wedding gowns while SCOTT sits beside them with his hand on his chin and elbow on the end of the sofa. A knock is heard at the door and SCOTT sits up as Massacre GM JENSEN KENT walks in. SCOTT stands up and shakes his hand.
SCOTT: Mr. KENT, thank you for allowing VIOLET and myself to be here tonight to plan the wedding.
He fakes a smile from having to be in the room with VIOLET and SIEGFRIED for most of the show.
JENSEN: It’s not a problem SCOTT, but I do have other business to attend to so let’s make this quick ok? How’s everything working out?
SIEGFRIED closes the book and floats over to JENSEN. He smiles widely.
SIEGFRIED: Swimmingly Mr. Kent. I can promise you the best wedding Monday Night Massacre has ever-
A cell phone is heard ring and SIEGFRIED stops. He smiles and reaches into his pocket to pull out a blue phone.
SIEGFRIED: Excuse me, Mr. Kent.
He opens to phone and puts it to his right ear.
SIEGFRIED: Hello, renowned wedding planner SIEGFRIED VON ROSSENBURG speaking on clear Monday night in the presence of brilliance...who may I say is calling?
A moment passes and SIEGFRIED scowls and frowns.
SIEGFRIED: Listen you broken down old Queen! He was hot, he was drunk, you got lucky! Never call this number again!
He hangs it up fiercely. JENSEN stares at him.
JENSEN: That’s something I don’t wanna know about do please feel free NOT to tell me anything.
SIEGFRIED realizes who is in the room and he smiles nervously.
SIEGFRIED: Uh, not it’s ok it was a, uhhhhhh, wrong number. Come, come, sit.
He turns and walks to the sofa. JENSEN begins to go, but SCOTT stops him.
SCOTT: Alright, that's enough, SIEGFRIED! I don't think Mr. Kent needs to stay!
He walks to the door.
SCOTT: Now, Mr. Kent, if you could be so kind.
He opens to door and DAN FIERCE jumps into SCOTT'S arms immediately as the door is open. SCOTT'S mouth drops.
DAN: Oh, take me my crown prince of Neverland!
SCOTT drops DAN with a thud to the floor.
SCOTT: What the hell are you doing!
He stands up and brushes himself off. He raises his head in the air.
DAN: I heard renowned wedding planner SIEGFRIED VON ROSSENBURG was going to be here on MASSACRE, so I came rushing over to see him and-
He notices to SIEGFRIED and smiles widely. He claps his hands.
DAN: Oh, take me away through the desert on a horse with no name!
He floats over to the sofa and sits closely to SIEGFRIED. JENSEN KENT stands as everyone else looks through the wedding books set on the table. SCOTT sighs and drops his head. He begins to shut the door, but is stopped by CHAD who runs in.
CHAD: You can't have a wedding without a Lords blessing!!!
He runs over and sits next to DAN FIERCE, closely looking over his shoulder with wide eyes. SCOTT sighs again and walks over to a chair next to the sofa. He sits in it and resumes to the way he was sitting earlier. The camera then goes to the ring for the next match.
CODEY and BRIAN CADY stare each other down as the bell rings. BRIAN CADY charges at CODEY in an early attempt at a spear, but CODEY dodges it and BRIAN CADY goes into the ropes, tangling himself and giving CODEY an early opportunity to capitalize on. CODEY grabs BRIAN CADY from behind and applies a half nelson, but BRIAN CADY quickly frees and arm and reverses the hold into an arm bar which he drags CODEY to the mat with. CODEY struggles to free himself but cant. BRIAN CADY tightens the hold on CODEY’s shoulder, but CODEY has great awareness and ring presence and hooks the bottom rope with his foot. BRIAN CADY is forced to break the hold and both men climb to their feet, CODEY rubbing his shoulder and trying to get the blood flowing in his shoulder again. They run at each other and CODEY attempts a clothesline, but BRIAN CADY ducks under it and uses a drop toe hold to send CODEY to the mat yet again, then he jumps on CODEY’s back and tries to get a camel clutch locked in… but… but he jumps off, shaking his hand in pain as CODEY HART climbs to his feet with a sick smile on his face. Did he just bite BRIAN CADY? BRIAN CADY’s hand has a thin circle of blood form on its surface… HE DID!!! The sick freak CODEY HART bit BRIAN CADY to prevent the submission hold… I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!! BRIAN CADY shakes it off and runs at CODEY with an attempted clothesline but CODEY drops to the mat and BRIAN CADY rebounds off the ropes, bouncing back to the middle of the ring where CODEY meets him with a clothesline of his own!!!
CODEY begins to kick BRIAN CADY in the back and ribs as the champion tries to get to his feet, but CODEY grabs him from behind and tries to choke him out. He drags BRIAN CADY to his knees, as the champ’s eyes get cloudy. CODEY yells out wildly, but no one can tell what exactly he is saying. He puts his knee on the back of BRIAN CADY’s to give himself leverage. WHAT'S THIS? BRIAN CADY IS BEGINNING TO FIGHT BACK!!! He struggles, feeding off the energy of the crowd, and he begins throwing vicious elbows to CODEY HART’S skull. He makes it to his feet and reaches behind him, grabbing CODEY by the neck and tossing him over his shoulder, shaking the ring with a giant snap mare. He runs off the ropes and back at CODEY, delivering a major dropkick to CODEY’s spine. CODEY collapses and BRIAN CADY goes for the quick cover. ONE… TWO… kick out by CODEY. BRIAN CADY punches him several times and tries another immediate cover. ONE… TWO… another big kick out by the champ. BRIAN CADY throws up his hands in frustration and climbs to his feet, allowing CODEY to do the same. BRIAN CADY runs at CODEY, arm outstretched but CODEY dodges the clothesline and when BRIAN CADY comes back off the ropes, CODEY lands a perfectly placed big boot on BRIAN CADY sending him crashing to the mat, clutching at his chest.
As BRIAN CADY is rolling around in pain, CODEY mounts him and lands a few right punches to the face. CODEY gets up and motions for BRIAN CADY to stand up, taunting him. Enraged, BRIAN CADY slowly pulls himself up on the ropes and CODEY charges him with an angry roar attempting a spear. BRIAN CADY slides out of the way and CODEY soars through the ropes landing on the outside of the ring very hard. CODEY is grabbing his head and BRIAN CADY hops over the ropes… CROSS BODY!!! BRIAN CADY connects on CODEY and the challenger is in trouble now. He picks CODEY up and throws him into the steel guard rail. CODEY hits the railing hard and BRIAN CADY catches him on the rebound and then attempts to throw CODEY into the ring apron. CODEY reverses the attempt and BRIAN CADY hits the ring apron with a loud thud and CODEY grabs the reeling BRIAN CADY and throws him back into the ring. CODEY follows him and attempts a pin… ONE…TWO… TH- BRIAN CADY kicks out at the last possible second!!!
CODEY pulls up BRIAN CADY and whips him into the ropes following it up with a shoulder block that drives BRIAN CADY to the canvas, and CODEY LOCKS IN A SURFBOARD HOLD!!! HE HAS BRIAN CADY IN THE AIR, ARE WE GOING TO SEE A TAPOUT? BRIAN CADY is screaming out in pain, and the referee is asking if he's had enough, but he shakes his head no. Finally the referee forces BRIAN CADY to break the hold and let BRIAN CADY go, who collapses to the mat, motionless. CODEY gets up and bounces off the ropes, landing a massive leg drop that drives BRIAN CADY face first into the mat. He picks BRIAN CADY up and stands him in the turnbuckle, backing up and charging him, BUT BRIAN CADY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!! CODEY slams all of his weight into the steel ring post and stumbles away, winded. BRIAN CADY rolls him up from behind. ONE… TWO… THR- NO!!! CODEY KICKED OUT!!!
Both men stagger up to their feet, and CODEY sets up for a haymaker right hand which BRIAN CADY ducks, and he slides behind CODEY locking his hands around the waist of the bigger man. GERMAN SUPLEX!!! What a counter by BRIAN CADY. He jumps on CODEY for the pin. ONE… TWO… another kick out!!! CODEY refuses to stay down!!! What does BRIAN CADY have to do to win? He complains to the referee, but CODEY grabs his shoulders and rolls him over in a pin of his own. The referee drops to the mat, ONE... TWO... THR.... BRIAN CADY kicks out at three! The ref says he got out in time!!! CODEY pulls BRIAN CADY up and kicks BRIAN CADY in the gut. CODEY then takes BRIAN CADY up for a pile driver. BAM!!!! BRIAN CADY hits the mat hard. BRIAN CADY grabs his head and CODEY attempts another pin…ONE…TWO…THR… Another kick out by BRIAN CADY!!! CODEY has a look of frustration on his face and gets up. As BRIAN CADY starts to pull himself up, CODEY walks over and picks him up. He then proceeds to hit a hard body slam and then hops up on the top turnbuckle! HART TAKER!! He covers for the pin… ONE… TWO… THREE!!!
WINNER: AND STILL CANADIAN CHAMPION CODEY HART
The scene cuts backstage where JENSEN KENT is walking toward his office when his cell phone rings.
JENSEN: JENSEN KENT…….Oh, yes Mr. BROWN, how are you?.......Good, good……….Yes, everything is going good. I am just taking care of a few problems but don’t worry. The show is going great as usual. Things are excellent and we are definitely ready for the pay per view……..Yes sir……Goodbye.
JENSEN hangs up the phone and continues to walk to his office as the scene cuts back to the arena for the next match.
BIGG RIGG is in the ring as SHADOW WARRIOR makes his way down. The fans cheer for RIGG as SHADOW just walks with no expression on his face. He gets in the ring and the ref immediately calls for the bell. RIGG and SHADOW lock up center of the ring and immediately GAMBINO has the upper-hand! He shoves SHADOW hard across the ring, bouncing off the ropes...BAM!! A huge clothesline from BIG RIGG nearly decapitates SHADOW! RIGG stalks his opponent now as SHADOW slowly tries to get to his feet. RIGG delivers a kick to the gut...RAGE!! SHADOW is done! RIGG into a cover...1...2...THREE!! What a warm-up before the Pay Per View! RIGG has just destroyed SHADOW WARRIOR!
WINNER: BIGG RIGG
JENSEN walks into his office and sees the Canadian Title on his desk with a note attached to it.
Sorry JENSEN, I am relinquishing the Canadian title as of right now. I’d like to further explain but there’s no time. I’m in deep right now, I will return to the XWF when the coast becomes more clear. Thanks for everything. Give the Canadian Title to SPICE ONE! He’s the last person to be champion and it’s only right to let him go to the pay per view! Sincerely CODEY HART.
JENSEN crumples up the note and tosses it in the garbage. He then takes the title and leaves the office. The show then goes to a commercial break.
When the show returns JENSEN KENT is seen standing at the entrance ramp sitting down with the CANADIAN TITLE on his lap. The ref calls for the bell and the following match is under way as the cage begins to come down.
SPICE ONE enters the cage and stands face to face with DEAN JAMES who was already waiting...The referee explains the rules to both men before he signals for the bell.... SPICE circles around DEAN, who grins at SPICE. SPICE quickly kicks him in the gut and clubs the back of his neck, but SPICE dodges one blow and takes SPICE down with a basic arm drag. He links it in with a reverse armbar, but SPICE reaches over and rakes the eyes of DEAN... DEAN is up again and bounces off the ropes, delivering a flying clothesline to DEAN. DEAN hits the mat with a thud, but he scrambles to his feet, only to be knocked back down by SPICE with a Slingshot.... SPICE covers 1... 2... easy kickout by DEAN.... SPICE goes up top and looks for the Diving Spear, but DEAN dodges and SPICE runs forward and hits the ropes before looking for a clothesline, which DEAN once again ducks.... SPICE hits the ropes again and looks for another clothesline but DEAN ducks and both men hit the ropes on opposite ends before knocking each other down with double clotheslines!! ... Both men kick up and stand ready as the fans clap showing their appreciation for both wrestlers...Both men move towards the center of the ring and begin to exchange right and left chops as the crowd being to "WOOOOOOOO" after every chop!...DEAN manages to get the upper hand and takes SPICE down with a northern lights suplex from nowhere!! DEAN doesn't give SPICE time for a breather as he begins to drive his knees into the back of SPICE'S head before placing him in a surfboard stretch type hold!! SPICE screams in pain as DEAN puts more pressure on the back of SPICE.... The referee asks SPICE if he wants to quit but he shakes his head...SPICE fights back and manages to power out before swinging DEAN around into a reverse neckbreaker type move!! SPICE then drops a leg onto the head of DEAN before grabbing the legs of DEAN forcing him into a Boston crab!! DEAN screams in pain as SPICE places more pressure on the back of DEAN!! He lets go of the hold and signals for the end. As DEAN starts to get up SPICE takes him out with the KRANIUM KICK! SPICE covers....1.....2....3! It's over.
WINNER: SPICE ONE
SPICE stands up and celebrates as his music is cut off. JENSEN KENT stands up and claps as he picks up the mic.
JENSEN: Well, once again, I have been let down and embarrassed. You guys don’t seem to understand that not only do you work for me, but without me you don’t get paid. Sure, you could go to that second rate show ANARCHY and try to make it there. Not that it would be too hard. That or you could go to another company and watch them fold in a month and then come back here begging for your job back. I have just about had it up to here with you sorry excuse for superstars. I brought you, PAUL and ANDREW here to bring a new level of competition to this show and you’ve done nothing but disappoint me. So here’s what will happen. Next week, you three will be in a pink slip match. I don’t care if you’re friends and you’ve worked together for a long time. This embarrassment of the General Manager is going to end. So next week. PAUL FROST, DEAN JAMES and ANDREW CLASH will all be in a pink slip match. I guess I have no choice but to bring in a former World Champion and show you boys exactly how things are supposed to be done. So at XMAS X-TREME, that former World Champion will return to the XWF and those of you who embarrass me again will answer to him. Now…..Since the CANADIAN TITLE is vacant. In two weeks, I will have a free for all match between six superstars. And the winner will become the new XWF CANADIAN CHAMPION. And speaking of champions That very same week, we will begin the tournament for the International title. I would like to announce who the participants are. But I will do so after this match.
HUNTER RYAN and BIG SHANK are both in the ring. The ref calls for the bell and this match is under way. SHANK and HUNTER begin to circle one another and they lock up for a collar and elbow tie up. SHANK raises his knee driving it into HUNTER’s midsection and then turns the tie up into a suplex taking HUNTER up and over and bringing him down hard to the mat. SHANK follows that up with an elbow drop to HUNTER’s sternum. He pulls HUNTER to his feet and sends him into the ropes. HUNTER bounces off and SHANK meets him with a huge boot to the face that drops him back to the mat. SHANK stomps on HUNTER’s forehead a couple times and then moves into the corner. HUNTER rises slowly to his feet. Here comes SHANK out of the corner looking for a spear. HUNTER leapfrogs over him and SHANK is driven shoulder first into the ring post.
HUNTER smiles as he turns to face the slumping SHANK. SHANK rises out of the corner only to catch a missile dropkick to the face from HUNTER RYAN. Good Lord, How is SHANK’s nose not broken? SHANK collapses and HUNTER goes for the early cover…1…2…and SHANK gets a foot up on the ropes. You just aren’t going to take a wiley ring veteran like SHANK out like that. HUNTER pulls SHANK to his feet. HUNTER boots SHANK in the stomach and then takes him down with a neckbreaker. HUNTER runs to the top turnbuckle and leaps into the air looking for a splash…and nails it! He hooks a leg. The ref begins to count…1…2…and SHANK kicks out! HUNTER stands up and begins to pull SHANK to his feet…but SHANK rolls HUNTER into a small package. 1…2…and HUNTER kicks out. Both men rise to their feet and level one another with clothelines.
SHANK and HUNTER are to their feet. HUNTER charges forward only to catch a boot to the stomach followed by a vicious DDT. SHANK pulls HUNTER to his feet and takes him back to the mat with a bulldog! SHANK rolls HUNTER over…hooks the leg…1…2…and HUNTER kicks out. SHANK rises to his feet and stomps HUNTER a couple of times. SHANK looks over and sees RAGE sitting at ringside. SHANK walks over to the ropes and begins to yell down at the X-treme Anarchist. RAGE only smiles as BIG SHANK continues to berate him. SHANK turns around into a clothesline by HUNTER. SHANK goes over the top rope to land on the floor next to RAGE. RAGE picks up his chair and moves a couple of feet away just in time for HUNTER to dive over the top rope onto the rising BIG SHANK! HUNTER straddles SHANK and begins to pepper his forehead with massive rights and lefts.
HUNTER pulls SHANK to his feet, looking for an Irish Whip…but SHANK reverses it, sending HUNTER into the steel ring post. HUNTER falls backwards with a bloody forehead…that steel ring post has busted him open. SHANK is there to meet him as he falls backwards, converting HUNTER’s momentum into a reverse DDT!
SHANK picks HUNTER up and rolls him back into the ring. SHANK climbs up on the apron and springboards over the top rope to land a leg drop on HUNTER’s throat! SHANK goes for the cover here…1…2…and HUNTER RYAN barely gets a shoulder up . Now it is BIG SHANK who heads up top. SHANK gets to the top turnbuckle and leaps into the air…and HUNTER gets the leg up driving his boot into BIG SHANK’s chin! Both men are down once more. Someone is coming out of the back…it’s JAMES RAVEN! JAMES RAVEN has a steel chair! He sets up on the outside and takes a seat.
Back in the ring HUNTER and SHANK are getting to their feet. SHANK blasts HUNTER with a punch to the jaw. HUNTER answers with a punch of his own. HUNTER and SHANK begin to trades rights and lefts in the middle of the ring. Neither man seems to be gaining the advantage here. BIG SHANK does a knee lift into the mid-section of HUNTER RYAN and then follows it up with a double ax-handle blow to the back of RYAN’s head, dropping him face first to the canvas. Seeing JAMES RAVEN, SHANK just smiles as he Irish Whips RYAN into the ropes…looks like SHANK is planning on meeting him with the Shankstopper! RYAN ducks under it and nails a chop block to SHANK’s knee! SHANK goes to the canvas hard. Here goes HUNTER for the cover…1…2…and SHANK kicks out!
What an amazing match so far. Both these guys really want a shot at the Champion. HUNTER pulls SHANK to his feet. HUNTER goes for an Irish Whip, SHANK reverses it. HUNTER turns around and leaps to the top rope, turning the Irish Whip into an attempt at the Hunter’s Spear…but SHANK is waiting with the Shankstopper! This match might be over…one way or another! A smile crosses HUNTER’s face as he bounds to the top rope and sets up for the Hunter’s Spear.
HUNTER leaps off but is caught by SHANK who turns the move into a devastating fallaway slam! SHANK then waits for HUNTER to get back to his feet and....BOOM! SHANKSTOPPER!!! SHANK immediately covers him…1…2…3! SHANK just eliminated HUNTER RYAN! JAMES RAVEN stands up and claps with a grin on his face as SHANK leaves the ring while still looking at JAMES who isn't doing anything but clapping.
WINNER: BIG SHANK
As Shank leaves the ring and walks to the back, Hunter gets to his feet. The fans are giving him the ovation he deserves after a hard-fought tournament! Hunter asks for a mic and is handed one by the time keeper as he holds his head.
HUNTER: Thank you guys so much! Shank, good luck the rest of the way. You definitely have your work cut out for you in the finals, my friend.
SHANK stops for a minute and turns around. He claps for HUNTER as does the crowd. Their cheers continue as SHANK walks to the back and HUNTER continues to speak. Some chant Shank while others chant Hunter's name.
HUNTER: I just wanted to say that...I couldn't be more proud to have represented Massacre the way I did in this tournament. I lost. I'll lose again. It's part of the business. But the last few weeks have just been an amazing ride. One that has made me a better competitor than I ever thought i could be. I just don't know...
JENSEN: Sorry to cut you off HUNTER. But I have to be honest and tell you that you put on one hell of a performance over the last few weeks and you should be proud of yourself. I know you've made this GM proud as well as this show. So I wanted to wait until your match was over to give you some good news. Last week, I announced a new title would be introduced into the XWF and find it's first home on my show...MONDAY NIGHT MASSACRE! That title is the INTERNATIONAL TITLE...and HUNTER...YOU will be in the very first match for that very title!
The crowd goes nuts! HUNTER nods to JENSEN in approval.
HUNTER: I gotta say...I like the sound of that, boss!
JENSEN: Good. Because my goal is to bring MASSACRE back to it's glory days and prove that RIZZA’S second-rate show has no place calling themselves the flagship show of the XWF! HUNTER, you're one of the many talents on Monday nights who will help me bring us back to the top of this business! So without further ado, let me announce the rest of the participants. As I already mentioned, HUNTER RYAN will be one of the participants. And going along for the ride to crown a new International Champion will be…..”The X Effect” BRIAN CADY. SHADOW WARRIOR. DOWNFALL, And two men who are currently on IMPACT and deserve to come to the big time….No pun intended, SCOTT CHARLOTTE and HARLEY VICE. Now, they don’t officially have contracts to MASSACRE but I want to get the upper hand here and grab talent before they make a mistake and head the wrong way. So gentlemen if you’re watching, I’d like to give you both a shot at this title and a chance at coming to the better show. So there you have it folks. Your participants for the tournament. Thank you all for coming out to MASSACRE tonight and we’ll see you next week when MASSACRE airs live and we all feel the after effects of XMAS X-TREME!
"One by One" blasts throughout the arena again as JENSEN heads backstage. HUNTER stands there smiling as the show goes off the air. Tune in next week!!
