(Last Man Standing)
GUEST REF:
The lights go down…Then, on the X-Tron, comes the face of “BIG TYME” ZACH RIZZA. The crowd roars with approval. ZACH sits in front of a blue screen with a suit and a tie on while his hair is parted, unlike anything we have seen from him before. ZACH wait’s a few minutes before speaking.
RIZZA: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a night of remembrance. Tonight we salute our comrade that can not battle any long. Tonight we salute AJ the Exterminator and Christian Phoenix.
The crowd roars as ZACH smiles.
Both men were my friends for a long, long time. I had some good, some bad, and some weird times with all of them. But, honestly, I have told you my story once to many times. Tonight, not only will you receive a great entertaining night of professional wrestling but, ladies and gentlemen, it is a night to remember the good times…and forget the bad. It is time for us to come as one. It is time for us to truly mean it when we say….
…THE ACTION NEVER SLOWS DOWN IN THE X-TREME WRESTLING FEDERATION!
The fans roar with approval as the camera fades and the X-Tron goes completely black again. Then, the crowd roars as the next picture they see is CHRISTIAN PHOENIX being rolled into the arena in a wheelchair, which is being pushed by the special guest referee for the night’s main event BYRON BARRAGE. BYRON stops the wheelchair as the crowd is heard all throughout the arena. PHOENIX has a huge smile on his face…BYRON bends over to get in CHRISTIAN’S face….
BARRAGE: All of this…is for you, man.
CHRISTIAN still smiles as he is pushed on down the hall. The scene fades to black for the next match.

HUNTER RYAN stands in the center of the ring as Megadeth’s ‘Crush ‘Em’ plays over the PA. RAGE hits the entrance ramp and walks down the aisle to slap hands with the fans as he makes his way to the ring. He rolls inside and shakes hands with RYAN. The ref calls for the bell, and this opening match for Phoenix Rising is underway.
RAGE immediately calls for the test of strength, and HUNTER RYAN stuns the crowd by accepting. RAGE holds up his hands and HUNTER RYAN tentatively locks hands with RAGE. As soon as he and RAGE have locked hands, HUNTER throws his knee hard into RAGE’s midsection. RAGE releases HUNTER’s hands and bends forward and HUNTER hits him in the back with a double axe-handle blow that drops RAGE face first to the canvas! HUNTER bounces off the ropes, looking for an elbow drop…and RAGE rolls out of the way just in time. HUNTER drives his elbow hard into the mat. HUNTER stands up holding his right elbow while RAGE gets to his feet as well. Before HUNTER can respond RAGE levels him with a clothesline taking him down to the mat hard.
RAGE steps back and lets HUNTER rise to his feet again. As soon as HUNTER is standing RAGE charges forward looking for another clothesline, but HUNTER brings him to the canvas with a drop toe hold. HUNTER bounces off the ropes and leaps over RAGE. But RAGE catches HUNTER’s ankle and brings him to the mat with a stunning flapjack! RAGE flips him over going for an early cover…1…2…and the U. S. Champion Kicks Out!
RAGE grabs HUNTER by the hair and pulls him to his feet. RAGE Irish Whips HUNTER into the corner and charges in behind him, taking HUNTER down with an uncharacteristic splash! HUNTER is slumped in the corner and RAGE begins to light up his chest with hard shots! HUNTER stumbles out of the corner and collapses face first to the canvas. RAGE leaps to the top turnbuckle and out into the air looking for an elbow drop…and HUNTER RYAN moves out of the way at the last minute and RAGE crashes to the canvas! HUNTER sees an opportunity, hooks the leg and 1…2…and RAGE kicks out!
What a great back and forth match up to open this benefit show! AJ and Christian both must be liking what they are seeing.
HUNTER has RAGE standing in a front of him, holding RAGE in a front face lock. HUNTER leaps against the ropes taking RAGE face first to the canvas with a springboard DDT! HUNTER goes for another cover…1…2…and RAGE kicks out again! HUNTER is looking a little frustrated here. He pulls RAGE to his feet, Irish Whips him into the ropes and leaps into the air looking for a missile dropkick…but RAGE catches the ropes and RYAN crashes to the mat, hitting the back of his head hard.
HUNTER climbs back to his feet only to have RAGE meet him with a boot to the stomach. RAGE follows that up with a Dark Moon DDT that drives HUNTER’s head into the mat. RAGE goes for the cover…1…2…and HUNTER kicks out! RAGE pulls HUNTER to his feet and Irish Whips him into the ropes. Instead of bouncing off the ropes Hunter leaps onto the second rope and bounces off for a springboard moonsault that takes RAGE to the mat! Now HUNTER goes for the cover…1…2…and RAGE kicks out!
HUNTER stands up and stomps on RAGE’s forehead! HUNTER runs to the ropes. He leaps to the top rope. RAGE climbs to his feet and HUNTER leaps at him going for the Hunter’s Spear! RAGE ducks underneath it…and catches HUNTER on his shoulders. RAGE hits Hunter with an impressive Samoan Drop! RAGE lifts the stunned HUNTER into the air and follows it up with a RAGE-Driver!

ZACH comes out through the curtains, as well as CHASM…in “DBD” tees, which also has “AJ” on the back. The former members of DANGEROUS BY DESIGN fill the arena. Hugs and handshakes go around by the three men…CHASM gets on the mic.
CHASM: You know, when I was brought to attention that we were having a memorial for a man that we all know and love, in AJ The Exterminator…what else to do then to bring together the boys?! You look in this ring, and you have one of the main groups, one of the top stables that has ever walked in the X-Treme Wrestling Federation. You have Dangerous by Design. Helmut Blok, AJ, and I were the…quote…”founding fathers” of the group and Mr. Rizza, over there, was a young pup when we saw potential and took him under our wing later on.
But you know something? There’s Helmut….there’s Zach…and there’s myself. We are missing one person. AJ THE EXTERMINATOR! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!
All of a sudden, AJ peers through the curtain. Everyone gets on their feet and gives him a standing ovation. He does not have a clue as to what to make of what is going on. The three men are beckoning AJ to come to the ring….AJ starts walking down with a smile on his face. He gets into the ring…his body looks weak…and pale…and everything.
CHASM: AJ, thank you from the bottom of my heart and the bottom of the hearts of every man that stood in this ring with you as a partner, as an opponent, and as a fan. Thank you for being a great friend. Thank you for everything.
The three men hug AJ and raise his hands high in the air…the men exit the ring together. When they reach the top of the entrance they turn around and look back at the crowd. ZACH, CHASM, and BLOK look at each other and exit the area and leaving AJ in the middle of the entrance waving to the crowd. AJ tears up and leaves the entrance way one more time.

WINNER:
The camera opens up at the part of the backstage area closest to the parking lot, where suddenly a door swings open and a tall, lean figure finally steps into view. It's a figure that the XWF know, but haven't seen in the flesh for quite some time now, moving with a certain cool, calm grace as he strides along the corridor. There's a rush as the camera tries to capture his facial features and suddenly he comes into view.
The familiar head of dark hair, five-o-clock stubble and ice-blue eyes come into view, making it clear to all and sundry that it is in fact STEVE JASON. The XWF Legend walks through the halls of the arena quietly, seeming to be almost introverted and deep in thought, dressed surprisingly well in a khaki-colored sportcoat and dress pants and black undershirt. He seems to be headed in the direction of the locker room, coming to within close range of it before he comes to a stop as a voice comes from behind him.
LEE STONE: Weird, huh?
STEVE blinks and whirls around at that, sure enough finding LEE STONE standing behind him. He pauses for a moment as if not quite sure what to say, then he laughs quietly and almost sheepishly before nodding.
STEVE JASON: Yeah. Very weird. Can't believe it's been a year.
LEE STONE: Since you were here, or since CHRISTIAN got hurt?
STEVE JASON: Both. Feels... very strange. I'm not really used to this, LEE.
LEE STONE: I'll be honest with you, Stevie... it's changed my perspective on a lot of things too. My life's been crazy enough as it is, but things like this just make me think a bit more on this thing called life.
STEVE JASON: On wrestling, you mean?
LEE STONE: On everything. Bet you never thought you'd see that coming, huh?
LEE laughs at that, almost a tad nervously. STEVE chuckles quietly, then motions towards the locker room door.
STEVE JASON: I was gonna go in and say a few words briefly. You want to come along?
LEE STONE: Nah, I appreciate it, but I'm going to go get a Coke or something. Good luck with it though... and I'll see you out there.
STEVE nods at that, a short smile on his face.
STEVE JASON: Definitely. Good hunting, LEE.
A long pause sits between both men before LEE nods and turns around, making his way down the corridor. Once he's out of sight, STEVE makes his way towards the locker room door and pushes it open, stepping into a buzzing locker room full of figures past, present and future. Sitting among them are RAZIEL, KRAZZY KIDD and LAYLA, ERIC ANDERSON, NICK RYAN, HELMUT BLOK, CENTURION, KORE, ZACH RIZZA and FUZZ. The buzz breaks off as STEVE enters the locker room, eyeing around the area before nodding to the assembled group.
STEVE JASON: Hey, guys. It's good to see you all again. Well, here we are. A year on, we're here to pay tribute to AJ and to CHRISTIAN PHOENIX. We all promised we'd show up and do it, and lo and behold, here we all are. Thank you to all of you for coming- those of you who've already wrestled and those of you who have yet to. You're all a testament to this place, and truth be told, a combination of the memories of AJ and CHRISTIAN and the atmosphere you have all created tonight make me wish I were staying. I see faces from all walks of life- I see CENTURION, who I've known since I first started wrestling seven long years ago. I see KORE. I see ZACH RIZZA. I see people I've been friends with, people I've been foes with, people in-between. And yet here we all are, laying it all on the line. The memories are all here.
Suddenly there's movement from the crowd as KORE speaks up.
KORE: Yeah, we've got a lot of memories, alright. I'm actually kind of proud to admit that AJ has his first ever match on a MassaKoRe show that I was running. It was hilarious, I had the XWF janitor, RALPH MCCHESTER, mop him out of the ring. We all saw the funny side of it, and it's one of my fondest memories of the guy.
KORE is not the only one to speak up, however, as KRAZZY KIDD now rises. In a complete contrast to his usual manner, he's very humbled and solemn.
KRAZZY KIDD: Yeah, AJ was one of the guys I used to travel on the road with while we were working together here. He was great company- and we had a hell of a feud going for two months straight. I miss those times, and I couldn't have asked for a better guy to do it all with. I just wish he was still here.
Once again, another voice joins the mix- this time, it's NICK RYAN.
NICK RYAN: When I knew AJ, I always knew he was a stand-up guy. Never had a bad thing to say about him, and he made this place a lot of fun for us. I've got some fond memories of CHRISTIAN, too- when the Phoenix title went to the IWF, I just had to go after it and bring it back to the XWF. I knew exactly how much it meant to the people here, and I just had to return it.
STEVE seems surprised at the sudden rush of comments, but it's a pleasant surprise, an approving grin crossing his face as he nods in agreement before speaking himself.
STEVE JASON: I've got fond memories of both too. I didn't know CHRISTIAN well, but believe me, I was watching, and he was one of the guys who I would have personally bet my stock on becoming the next big main-eventer. Hell, we could have even be seeing it now if things hadn't gone awry. It's a shame in a way- while I've had my differences with wrestlers, I feel a kinship for each of them and to see them fall is like a brother fall. As for AJ... he's easily one of the best opponents I've ever had. He dished it out, he took it, and he was still humble and class act backstage. That's so hard to do. He was also one of the very few people I'd trust to referee a match I was in. Most people who guest-ref screw me over. I suspect most people of planning to do it. I didn't suspect AJ for a moment. I knew he didn't have it in him- that he was too good a person. We all have fond memories, and I think we need to let them inspire us. Let them be our fuel for tonight. Where usually we're guided by our dreams, our emotions and our instincts... tonight, let us be guided by our love.
There's a round of approving words from the assembled wrestlers, nodding affirmatively. STEVE finally lets a full smile creep onto his face before speaking again, much more quietly this time.
STEVE JASON: That's all I wanted to say. I won't waste any more words- what needs to be said has been said. Thank you all for making tonight what it is- and to all of you, I wish you good luck and good hunting. I'll see you out there.
Without a word further, STEVE smiles at each of the associated roster members and, in a rare move, leans forward in a respectful Eastern-style bow before turning on his heel. He seems to move towards the door for a moment... then suddenly he seems to decide against it and, with a smirk, makes his way towards the assembled wrestlers, pulling up a chair next to CENTURION and sitting with his fellow fighters as the camera fades out.

Before we start the match, MORBID is in the ring awaiting for his two opponents to come to the ring. Suddenly the song “The Antidote” by Story of the Year plays from the speakers, echoing through the arena. BIG SHANK comes out from the entranceway and starts down the entranceway, giving a few handshakes, a few high fives and some smiles out to fans. BIG SHANK climbs up onto the apron, and then into the ring, as the song fades out. The lights dim, and spotlights fire to the entranceway, as a violin melody starts playing with an upbeat drum pattern plays, walking out of the backstage through the entrance, is CHAD!

CHAD runs to the ropes and returns to the fallen SHANK with an elbow to his chest! SHANK rolls out of the ring to breathe, and CHAD goes over to MORBID standing the tall man up, as CHAD pushes him to the corner, giving a few punches to the man’s ribs. CHAD climbs up the turnbuckles giving MORBID several punches to the face, as SHANK hurries up the apron, and up the outside of the turnbuckles jumping over, hooking CHAD’s head dropping him with a DDT!

CHAD pushes himself up, as he pulls MORBID over to the barricade guardrail throwing him halfway over the barricade with a front suplex, dropping MORBID onto his midsection. CHAD walks to the ring, and pulls from underneath it, two steel chairs. CHAD places one open and then places the other over the head of MORBID.

Standing and cheering, as MORBID drops to a hype over the steel chairs, as blood pours from his face, that was like a grape between your fingers! Popped and gushing blood! CHAD gets up and backpedals to the ring, as suddenly SPEAR! CRASH!
SHANK just speared CHAD into those steel steps! Them steps just pushed off the ring post, and CHAD is laying on his face, as SHANK stands up, looking to the crowd, as they are chanting XWF, XWF, XWF! SHANK grabs up CHAD and slides him into the ring, as CHAD journeys to the other side of the ring, to pull himself up. SHANK slides in and walks over to CHAD, as CHAD takes a ditch effort and dives at SHANK hitting his knee from under him!

CHAD climbs up on the apron as SHANK hurries over and hits CHAD in the gut with his knee! SHANK drops CHAD’s throat across the top rope, as CHAD still hangs on, but swings about holding his throat. SHANK climbs out, and grabs CHAD’s head, and drops!
OH MY GOD! CHAD and SHANK hit that cement floor! SHANK on his back and CHAD on his head! SHANK just DDT’ed CHAD to that cement floor! Blood spits from a cut on the head of CHAD. SHANK slowly rises, and throws CHAD into the ring, as MORBID slides into the ring with a chair! MORBID looks bloody and pissed, he holds the chair up, and SHANK slides into the ring, and quickly fires his leg up and SHANKSTOPPER! To that steel chair, that chair to the face of MORBID! MORBID stumbles backwards and drops through the ropes and to the outside. CHAD pushes himself up and clotheslines SHANK as soon as he spins about! CHAD sets up the table he pushed into the ring, as CHAD goes to lift up SHANK, SHANK breaks the hold and kicks CHAD in the gut lifting him up, and dropping CHAD right through that table! SNAP! CRASH! SHANK drops backwards looking up to the rafters, CHAD laying in that wreckage bleeding, as SHANK pushes himself up and drops into that wreckage…
BUT NO CHAD! SHANK pushes himself up and sees MORBID! MORBID just won’t quit, as he pulled CHAD from the ring, and CHAD drops to the mat on the outside, and SHANK rolls out of the ring, as MORBID looks tired and groggy, as SHANK tosses MORBID to the barricade! MORBID drops to his knees holding his back. SHANK tosses MORBID into the ring, and the same with CHAD! SHANK climbs into the ring, and CHAD grabs that fallen chair from earlier, and cracks SHANK into the head as SHANK falls to the mat. CHAD places the chair over the chest of MORBID, as CHAD climbs up the turnbuckle, and leaps! SHOOTING STAR PRESS! CHAD bounces up and over his body! An arm reaches over, and drops on a body, as the referee sees it, and starts counting, ONE… TWO….. THREE!
The referee looks over the bloody body of MORBID, to rise the arm from the body, the arm connected to the bloody mess that is CHAD! The referee stands CHAD up, as SHANK stands up, to help CHAD stand, as CHAD points to the Phoenix Rising banner again, as CHAD and SHANK salute the banner and gives a bow to it, they turn to each other and shake each others hands. CHAD drops down and rolls out, journeying backstage. SHANK doing almost the same, but stopping to give a few fans hugs and handshakes, high fives and smiles. MORBID, seems to have disappeared. Such an amazing match, for AJ and CHRISTIAN PHOENIX, as they are backstage, giving their applause.

BIGG RIGG: Tonight, This show isn't about me, it isn't about titles or wins. This show is about CHRISTIAN PHOENIX. I am simply here as a man who respects CHRISTIAN PHOENIX. I have seen many people come into the XWF and Many people go in my years with the company. But very rarely do you meet somebody that everybody has nothing but good things to say about. CHRISTIAN is one of those few people, that fond memories always seem to come up whenever he is mentioned. It is because as a person, he honestly cares about his fellow man. I personally didn't get to know CHRISTIAN as well as most while he was in the XWF. But, the times that I did talk with him, I saw first hand the reason people think so much of him as a co-worker, as a person and A friend. It was my privilege and Honor to know CHRISTIAN, as I know it was for everybody else that knew him. We are going to miss you, CHRISTIAN....but we will NEVER forget you!
The X-Tron goes black. As the fans stands and cheer, for the legacy of CHRISTIAN PHOENIX.

The match begins violently, as KORE drops FAMINE with a clothesline and FUZZ starts a stomp on FAMINE's chest, as RAZIEL doesn't wait for his music to play, as he shoots out from the backstage area, and into the arena, and he slides into the ring, as he is without the United States Title. RAZIEL unleashes a flurry of punches to FUZZ knocking him to the mat. He turns and dropkicks KORE knocking him to the mat. RAZIEL clotheslines FUZZ, as FUZZ stands up, and RAZIEL turns to duck a clothesline from KORE and RAZIEL unleashes one of his own clotheslining KORE out of the ring. And RAZIEL picks up FAMINE, and tell him that he'd start the match, and FAMINE yells at him that he wants to start the match. RAZIEL ensures him it's cool, he'll tag him in, he just wants a piece of FUZZ first. But when RAZIEL turns about FUZZ unleashes a leveling clothesline, that nearly knocks the head off of RAZIEL. FUZZ smiles as he covers, ONE …TWO …THR.. KICKOUT! RAZIEL just in time.
As RAZIEL shakes it off, but FUZZ picks him up and whips RAZIEL into the corner. RAZIEL stumbles out and FUZZ charges RAZIEL with another leveling clothesline. RAZIEL falls to the mat, and folds up like a origami swan. FUZZ walks over and yells at RAZIEL to get up as RAZIEL shakes off the cobwebs and gets to his feet. FUZZ walks RAZIEL over to the tagging corner where KORE is standing, as FUZZ hooks RAZIEL's head in a headlock and tags in KORE! KORE comes into the ring and kicks RAZIEL into the gut. RAZIEL holds his stomach leaving his face open for a punch from KORE. RAZIEL stumbles to his knee, as KORE stands RAZIEL up and bodyslams him. KORE isn't even breaking a sweat, as he stands RAZIEL up and delivers a suplex. KORE pops up and he looks like he's been doing this for three months straight? RAZIEL just lays out, as KORE grabs RAZIEL in a rear naked choke, digging his knee into the back of RAZIEL's neck. It looks like they want to embarrass the man! So KORE grinds the back of RAZIEL's neck onto his knee really digging into the neck. RAZIEL screams out in pain, as he is trying to get free, RAZIEL rolls to his left looking for a spot to move. And he slowly stands as KORE walks back to the ropes, bouncing him outward and across the ring, RAZIEL walks out and drops his head, as KORE comes down and executes a picture perfect swinging neckbreaker! KORE! The crowd cheers and chants for KORE! FAMINE is getting impatient as he starts to slap the turnbuckle. KORE stands RAZIEL up as he walks him over to the corner pushing him into the corner.

RAZIEL PULLS THAT TAG ROPE OUT TO ABOUT THREE FEET! RAZIEL has unclearly cheated, as he stops KORE's momentum, and RAZIEL walks back to the corner and tucks the rope into the turnbuckle and grabs the other real tag rope as it only goes about three inches. KORE turns and yells at RAZIEL, but RAZIEL explains that it's simple, KORE is just too old that the pains are just coming back, and KORE doesn't see FAMINE walking over and smashing him with an elbow to the back of the head. RAZIEL slaps the arm of FAMINE, and FAMINE is questioning why RAZIEL is so weird? RAZIEL stands a series of stomps to KORE, as on the other side FUZZ is getting back to the corner from FAMINE sending him tumbling. RAZIEL walks KORE out from the corner and hammers a release fisherman suplex. RAZIEL gets into the face of KORE as he without looking rushes to the ropes crashing into the referee?! The referee crashes to the outside! RAZIEL shakes off everything, as FUZZ gets into the ring to attack RAZIEL, but FAMINE spears FUZZ! RAZIEL rolls outside to check on the referee, as the camera catches the rise of RAZIEL from the other side of the ring, as he's smiling with his chance to unleash weapons of mass destruction. RAZIEL walks over to the timekeeper’s table and grabs a steel chair. RAZIEL slides into the ring, and with FAMINE standing up FUZZ, RAZIEL hammers FUZZ with the steel chair knocking him from the ring, and tumbling to the outside again. RAZIEL motions for FAMINE to pick up KORE and spin him around. As FAMINE does this RAZIEL tosses KORE the steel chair and RAZIEL with another revolution of KORE kicks the chair into the face of KORE, and FAMINE does the same, and RAZIEL kicks it and KORE falls as the chair flops about in the ring, and another referee comes as RAZIEL slides and baseball kicks the chair from the ring, and he rolls out of the ring, as the new referee won't know who the legal people are, and motions for FAMINE to pin KORE! FAMINE covers KORE, and the referee counts. ONE ….TWO …THR KICKOUT!
KORE isn't done, as KORE gets free from under FAMINE, and shakes the chair shots off and tries for a clothesline, but FAMINE doesn't quite duck, as he and KORE connect with a clothesline at the same time, sending them out! The referee looks at both of the men and starts a count. ONE …… TWO ….
Meanwhile outside, RAZIEL sneaks over to the area of FUZZ as FUZZ slowly gets to his feet and RAZIEL comes run throwing FUZZ into the steel steps, stalling for FAMINE to get to his feet. Because that broke the referee's count, and the referee yells for RAZIEL to get back to his corner, but the damage is already done, as FUZZ sits up and his face is ripped open as he collided face first with the steel steps. RAZIEL smiles as he can see that on the X-Tron. RAZIEL smells blood, as he's bouncing literally off the bottom rope for FAMINE to get back. FUZZ is mad, as he checks his face and sees the blood. FUZZ stands and walks over to the chair that's on the outside, and he reaches inside his tights and tosses a pair of brass knuckles into the ring, and the referee sees it as he picks it up, but he doesn't see FUZZ slide into the ring with the steel chair, and SMASH! The referee! He's gone! FUZZ pushes the referee out of the ring. RAZIEL sees this as he charges FUZZ unleashing a series of punches. KORE is working on standing, and FAMINE rolls out of the ring, as he goes under the apron, but he's not watching as KORE grabs RAZIEL off of FUZZ, and he locks RAZIEL into a reverse full nelson, and FUZZ takes a shot at RAZIEL ripping the chair apart, CRASH! RAZIEL drops to the mat, and blood pours from his head! As the chair is covering his face, but the pool at about the chair you can tell RAZIEL is bleeding badly. FAMINE pulls out a table and sets it up onto the edge of the ring. FAMINE slides into the ring and sees RAZIEL out! And he charges KORE knocking over the rope and he tackles FUZZ, and a NEW REF runs out, and doesn't know what to do with RAZIEL, as he takes the bloody chair off of RAZIEL's face and he just pushes RAZIEL to the edge of the ring, and drops the chair to the outside of the ring. FAMINE picks FUZZ up and hits a death valley driver. FUZZ looks to be out, and FAMINE looks to be going to the top rope, and the referee is checking on RAZIEL as RAZIEL tries to stand on the edge of the ring, but flops to the apron. And that gives KORE enough to snap a couple of light tubes to the of the face of FAMINE! FAMINE drops to the outside of the ring, and RAZIEL finally gets together as he walks over to KORE who is standing onto the edge of the ring, and RAZIEL pushes KORE backwards into the table!
CRASH!
RAZIEL looks at FUZZ out cold in the middle of the ring, RAZIEL climbs the corner, and leaps but MISSES! RAZIEL tried for a headbutt to the head of FUZZ but FUZZ rolls free! FUZZ sees it! FUZZ LOCKS ON THE INJECTION! RAZIEL screams in pain, as blood just pours from the face of RAZIEL into a pool just under his chin. FAMINE is outside of the ring in his own pool of blood, and KORE is trying to move, but he crashed hard to the floor crashing half through the table, and half onto the matted floor.
FUZZ just wrenches and tugs at RAZIEL's face, and RAZIEL isn't going to tap, as he's yelling no. The referee continues to ask, and suddenly FUZZ lets go and grabs the referee as he yells at him that RAZIEL is quitting. FUZZ locks it on once again, and it's looking like RAZIEL's neck is going to break, as FUZZ throws all his weight backwards trying to end RAZIEL's career right here and right now! But from outside the ring FAMINE chucks a chair, and it catches the referee right in the face, knocking him out and backwards to him fumbling outside of the ring. FAMINE slides into the ring, but it's too late, RAZIEL faints into the pool of blood. And KORE gets to his feet, as he slides into the ring. KORE grabs FAMINE and whips him into the corner hard as FAMINE falls to a sitting position, and FUZZ places the steel chair that was tossed into the ring earlier in front FAMINE’s face. FUZZ and KORE take turns on just kicking the chair into the face of FAMINE, as all that is left is a crimson mask that was the face of FAMINE! KORE removes the chair and places it in front of the corner, as he hops up onto the corner, as FUZZ stands FAMINE up and hands FAMINE over to KORE for a powerbomb from the corner to the steel chair in the ring! CRASH! FUZZ slides out of the ring and wakes up the old referee, the first referee, as he rolls the referee into the ring. FUZZ climbs in and watches RAZIEL, as KORE covers FAMINE, and the referee slowly counts.. ONE …… TWO … RAZIEL IS MOVING, RAZIEL IS MOVING! HE PUSHES HIMSELF UP! RAZIEL looks to be trying to crawl over to save FAMINE, but drops to the canvas as the blood loss is too much, and FUZZ drops a HUGE ELBOW to the back of RAZIEL's neck. …THREE! KORE and FUZZ did it! The crowd goes NUTS!

“WELCOME BACK!” chants fill the arena before the match. The two men look around the rings smiling from ear to ear. STEVE JASON and LEE STONE look at each other nod and shake hands before getting serious.
The two men circle each other, LEE and STEVE do not want to make the first move so that they don’t have to have the opportunity to make the first mistake in the match. The two bulls lock horns and LEE STONE comes out the victor, so far, getting a nice head lock on STEVE JASON. STEVE tries to push LEE off, but to no avail as LEE did not move an inch…in fact, LEE tightens the hold. The screams of STEVE fill the arena every time LEE wrenches down on the head and neck of STEVE JASON. STEVE grabs LEE’s wrist with both hands and peels off LEE’s hold, spins around, and locks in on a headlock of his own! LEE pushes STEVE into the ropes. STEVE comes back with a shoulder block, knocking LEE down to the ground! STEVE goes off the ropes again and jumps over LEE STONE….LEE gets up and jumps over a ducking STEVE JASON….AND ON THE NEXT WAY BACK STEVE JASON GETS HIT WITH A MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SLAM TYPE MANEUVER ON THE KNEE OF LEE STONE!
Instead of going for the pin, LEE holds STEVE on his knee stretching out the back of the legend…pushing different ends of the body down towards the mat…stretching his back out even more. Sometimes, LEE lets go of the top end to give STEVE a few chops to the middle of the chest…before stretching STEVE out even more! STEVE kicks LEE in the head with his right leg….then his left…..THEN HE USES HIS LEGS TO REVERSE THE BACK STRETCH INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKEHOLD! WHAT A REVERSAL! LEE STONE, though, looks like he trained for this move…he gets on his feet…gets parallel to STEVE JASON AND FLIPS OVER PINNING HIM! THE REF GETS DOWN 1...2.…LEE STONE RELEASES THE HOLD WHILE HE KICKS OUT! BOTH MEN ARE SLOW TO GET UP! THE FANS ARE CHEERING “THAT WAS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME!” LEE gets up first, as STEVE gets on one knee…LEE RUNS AND CONNECTS WITH A SHINING WIZARD! LEE RUNS FOR A PIN….1.…2...NO! STEVE KICKS OUT! LEE GETS ROLLED UP FOR THE PIN! 1...2...LEE KICKS OUT AND REVERSES INTO A PIN OF HIS OWN…1...2.…STEVE KICKS OUT AND GETS AN UNORTHODOX PIN ON LEE….1...2! LEE ROLLS OUT AND GIVES HIM A RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE! STEVE DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY…JUMPS UP AND TRIES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX….LEE STONE FLIPS AROUND THE HOLD AND HITS STEVE WITH A GERMAN OF HIS OWN! HE LOCKS HIS HANDS AND BRIDGES FOR THE PIN! 1.…2.….THR…NO! STEVE JASON KICKS OUT! LEE STONE shakes his head as he picks up STEVE JASON…..STEVE breaks it off….and delivers a hurricarana TAKING LEE OVER THE TOP OF THE RING!
STEVE starts the crowd in a clapping mood…STEVE’s face lightens up as the entire crowd joins in…STEVE starts running….and DIVES OUT OF THE RING TOWARDS LEE STONE AND THE AUSSIE MISSLE CONNECTS WITH A MASSIVE SUICIDE DIVE! STEVE LANDS ON HIS FEET! STEVE gets the crowd, that is already behind him, yelling even louder….THE ROOF MAY BE BLOWN OFF OF THIS PLACE! STEVE is not leaving anything on the table, as he rolls LEE back in the ring. STEVE flips over the ropes….AND CONNECTS WITH A LEG DROP! STEVE goes for the pin…..1...2.…NO! LEE KICKS OUT OF THE PIN!
STEVE picks up LEE and, now, STEVE is reversed with a standing dropkick by LEE STONE! STEVE staggers into the corner and lays on the turnbuckle to get rest….but LEE does not give STEVE that rest as LEE rushes up and CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE!

The two exchange pleasantries and raises each other’s hand before giving each other a hug. The two men, get out of the ring and high fiving and shaking hands with all the fans around the ring. Before exiting through the entrance way together….the two men wave one more time at the entrance way and exit through the curtains together.
ZACH, now in his wrestling gear heads to the entrance way for the main event, then…CHRISTIAN PHOENIX and a security guard passes ZACH. ZACH stops.
RIZZA: STOP! Where are you guys going? The ring is that way. I want you to be down there, man. I want you to be there. I have planned something special for you, man. A token of gratitude. Hell, even Jon Brown said it was a great idea to do. Trust me…it might even be legendary. Think about it, Christian, I would really like it if you were there after the match.
Without saying a word, the two men begin moving away from each other. ZACH smiles as he heads to the ring for the main event.

CENTURION GETS UP AND RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH A ARM DRAG, CENTURION WAITS FOR JAMES TO GET UP AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK! JAMES RAVEN, just like before, RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH ANOTHER DROPKICK!

They shake hands, as they are out of breath, but JAMES RAVEN connects with a snap suplex, runs off the ropes and connects with a knee drop to the head of CENTURION. JAMES RAVEN locks in a chin lock! CENTURION is wincing in pain as he is trying to get the fans behind him, and it is working as the fans are starting to clap for him…the clapping is starting to get to CENTURION as he begins to move his legs…as he is moving his legs, he gets to one knee….as he gets to one knee, he gets to a standing position and he starts running around the ring and ducks as JAMES RAVEN goes through the middle of the ring ropes, landing in front of ZACH RIZZA.
ZACH gets up from the chair to check on JAMES. CENTURION JUMPS ON THE TURNBUCKLE AND CONNECTS WITH A CROSS BODY ON ZACH AND TAKES HIM THROUGH THE CHAIR, that is now broken.

JAMES RAVEN TAKES OUT ZACH RIZZA TO WIN THE PHOENIX CHAMPIONSHIP!
NEW PHOENIX CHAMPION:
ZACH and JAMES are in the ring, together, JAMES holds up four fingers before helping ZACH up with a big smile on his face. The two men shake hands and gives each other hugs. ZACH exit’s the ring as JAMES receives the title from BYRON before he leaves JAMES in the middle of the ring. JAMES RAVEN holds the title high up in the air. All of a sudden, he asks for a mic…and looks at the PHOENIX championship.
JAMES RAVEN You know, I can not say enough on winning this belt…against five great opponents…but this is not right. This title does not belong to me…or ZACH…or CENTURION…or anyone else for that matter. CHRISTIAN PHOENIX, can you please come down here?!
The crowd roars as BYRON BARRAGE still in his ref gear rolls CHRISTIAN PHOENIX down to the ring. BYRON and CHRISTIAN stop at the end of the entrance. JAMES RAVEN exit’s the ring with the title in his hand.
JAMES RAVEN: MR. PHOENIX, as the first AND CURRENT PHOENIX CHAMPION…let me just be the first to….
“MY NAME’S JON BROWN, BROWN, BABY, JON BROWN!”
PHOENIX stops talking as JON BROWN stands at the entrance way. JON has a smile on his face, and he is not moving from the entrance.
JON BROWN: Hold it, hold it, hold it. Don’t think that you are the only person that wants to say something to him…..GUYS!
“PARTY LIKE IT’S 1999” blares as the entire X-TREME WRESTLING FEDERATION ROSTER begins to file into the arena. All of the roster lines up on the sides of the ramp way, all clapping at CHRISTIAN PHOENIX. Then, the legends and the champions file in last, as they take the entrance way. JOHN BROWN walks down the ramp and grabs the belt from JAMES RAVEN.
JON BROWN: What JAMES….er…WE were going to say is…it is an honor and a privilege to reward you, CHRISTIAN PHOENIX, the title that we have in your name…WE, the X-TREME WRESTLING FEDERATION WRESTLERS, FRONT OFFICE, AND…most of all…FANS GIVE YOU…..THE PHOENIX TITLE!
The fans roar as JON places the PHOENIX title on the lap of CHRISTIAN PHOENIX. The fans and wrestlers all cheer together,..they all chant “CHIRS-TIAN PHOE-NIX! CHRIS-TIAN PHOE-NIX!”
CHRISTIAN holds on to the belt and smiles that his named belt has been given to him by the boss.
JON BROWN: IT IS MY HONORY TO DISCONTINUE THE DEFENDING OF THE PHOENIX TITLE SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…HERE IS YOUR NEW AND FUTURE PHOENIX CHAMPION, CHRISTIAN PHOENIX!
The crowd roars as CHRISTIAN is rolled up the ramp holding his title in one hand and wiping tears away from the other hand. When he reaches the top…the champions and legends of the X-Treme Wrestling Federation hold the curtain for him…but before he can leave…AJ THE EXTERMINATOR is there to meet him. The sight of AJ makes the crowd erupt even more, as the champions and legends both close the curtain to the entrance way.
All of a sudden, CHRISTIAN PHOENIX begins to stand up slowly and he hugs AJ. The two embrace in the middle of the entrance way. AJ and PHOENIX both look towards the crowd and holds the title together. Next, when the legends and the champions open the curtain. When the curtain opens, this time, a blinding light is shown…now only the shadows of the two men are shown…the two turn around and go through the curtain. The fans and wrestlers chants change from “CHRISTIAN PHOENIX” to “AJ! AJ! AJ!” When the two men leave, the shadows converge to make one man….and then….the shadows disappear in the light and the curtain holders let go still clapping their hands.
