We go to a video played to "Doomday Clock" by the Smashing Pumpkins

- Flashback to Showdown Episode Thirty Nine -

The Crazy Kanook is on the ground grabbing a hold of his leg in pain. The announcers are questioning what happened. Various medical personnel rush over towards Kanook who is still down on the floor backstage. Bob Levy is standing backstage with Kanook who looks very pissed at this time.

Levy: What happened?

In the background you can hear the sound of a car starting up and speeding out of a parking lot.

Kanook: It was Mastro!

Kanook is in Lars Douglas's office hobbling on one leg.

Douglas: What the hell are you doing? You're supposed to be at the hospital right now.

Kanook: So I can say goodbye to my chance of getting another World Title shot? I don't think so.

Douglas: Mastro has some explaining to do as far as that goes.

Kanook: Explaining? If that retard would've stuck around the arena tonight instead of speeding off in his car I would've taken the foot that's on my good leg and kicked him a new asshole! There's obviously a reason why he did this and I don't think it has anything to do with jealousy here Lars.

Worley: The following will determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Title!

Kanook, Carlos Shotgun, and Chris Benoit all circle around the ring. Kanook is still showing visible signs from the attack earlier on tonight. Kanook hits a hard kick to Shotgun's midsection that causes him to hobble. Benoit snap suplexes Kanook for a two count.

Manic: Kanook is showing some serious guts here tonight. If he has to fight on one leg to get another shot at the World Title, he will do so!

Benoit picks Kanook up and throws him towards the turnbuckle. Kanook falls over clutching his leg again. Shotgun maintains the hold and picks Benoit back up. Benoit tries to elbow and Shotgun ducks under and hooks him for a T Bone Suplex. Benoit elbows out of that and spins around into a waistlock. Kanook hobbles up behind both Shotgun and Benoit and drop both of them with a huge German Suplex!

Manic: Oh my god!

Chico: How the hell did Kanook manage that?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Benoit and Kanook are back up. Benoit hits a right, Kanook hits a right, Benoit with another right, Kanook with a headbutt. Shotgun gets back to his feet as both Benoit and Kanook look for a moment. Benoit and Kanook drop Shotgun with a double headbutt! Benoit kicks Kanook in the midsection and goes for a DDT. Kanook counters with a Northern Lights Suplex into a pin. One, two, Shotgun sweeps the bridge out from under Kanooks feet. Shotgun grabs a hold of Kanook and is looking for a Bullet Shock sharpshooter. Shotgun locks Kanook in the sharpshooter!

Manic: Bullet Shock is locked on!

Shotgun pulls back as Kanook looks ready to tap out. Benoit is back to his feet as he looks to attack Shotgun. Shotgun lets go of the Sharpshooter and kicks Benoit in the midsection. Shotgun sets Benoit up for a Bullet Bomb but Benoit charges Shotgun into the turnbuckle sandwiching the referee in the process! Benoit grabs Kanook and chucks him through the middle ropes as Shotgun staggers right into a Crippler Crossface!

Manic: Shotgun is in the Crossface! This is going to do it!

The crowd stirs once again as someone is hopping over the railing from the stands. It's Chris Falkenyork! Falkenyork slides into the ring and stomps Benoit in the head breaking up the Crossface. Falkenyork picks up Benoit in a firemans carry before dropping him with a Go to Sleep! The referee is starting to regain his senses as Falkenyork pulls Shotgun on top of Benoit before leaping out of the ring. Kanook is on the outside clutching his knee in pain as the referee sees the pin. One...two...three! Shotgun is the #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Title!

Worley: The winner of this match, "The Elite Savior" Carlos Shotgun!

Manic: What the hell did we just see there?

- Flashback to Showdown Episode Forty -

Worley: The following contest is for the Xtreme Championship!

Blaze Rodriguez raises his title high in the air as he's set to defend against Mastro. The crowd rises to their feet as Blaze is thinking high risk move, Mastro rushes over and crotches him on the top turnbuckle. Then Mastro just pushes Blaze and he falls all the way towards the outside mat.

Manic: Mastro is sick in the head!

Chico: That goes without saying Manic. The only person Mastro cares about is himself!

Mastro yells something at the commentators before searching under the ring for a weapon. He pulls out a fire extinguisher and holds it proudly over his head. He waits for Rodriguez to get to a knee and soon as Blaze turns around Mastro clobbers him with the fire extinguisher to the skull. Blaze falls helplessly to the mat and Mastro begins taunting him.

Mastro: Let me cool you off Blaze!

Mastro sprays white coolant from the fire extinguisher all over Blaze. Neither man is very visible at the moment but as the smoke clears, it's Mastro who rolls in to the ring and raises his fists in the air. Mastro has a nice laugh as Rodriguez's expense as Blaze tries to pull himself up, using the apron. Blaze finally gets to his feet and before he can step up on the apron, Mastro reaches over the top rope and starts to pull Blaze up by his hair. Blaze is barely standing, as he hugs the ropes to keep himself up. Mastro grabs him and delivers a headbutt! Blaze is staggered momentarily as Mastro then goes for a Suplex attempt. Blaze blocks it and Mastro goes and headbutts him again!

Manic: If Mastro keeps this up, we're going to have a new Xtreme Champion!

Mastro then winds up and delivers a haymaker that almost knocks Rodriguez off the apron. But somehow he manages to hold on to the ropes. Mastro shakes his head and then the crowd begins to stir. Everyone rises to their feet and then Robert Mastro looks over to see The Crazy Kanook at the top of the aisle, sipping on a flask. Mastro backs off and starts pointing at Kanook. Mastro goes back in to grab Blaze, but his attention is focused in on Crazy Kanook still. Mastro goes to grab Blaze by the head, but before he knows it Blaze completes a Sunset Flip in to a roll up a pin for the one, two, three!

Manic: Blaze did it!

Worley: The winner of this match and still Xtreme Champion, Blaze Rodriguez!

The fans are cheering Blaze Rodriguez on as he remains the Xtreme Champ. But soon as Blaze stands to his feet, Mastro kicks his leg out from behind him and starts stomping away. Kanook begins sprinting down the ramp. Mastro sees him coming and crawls out of there before it's too late. Kanook gets in the ring and he is livid. Kanook yells at Mastro, pointing out at him and kicks the bottom rope out of frustration. Fans are booing Mastro and he slowly backs up the ramp, grasping his head and smiling the whole way.

Manic: That bastard Mastro did it again!

The scene cuts to later on in the evening where Kanook is squaring off against Benoit inside of a fifteen foot high steel cage. Kanook grabs a hold of Benoit and launches him over with the Overhead Release German Suplex.

Manic: Ice Over! Good god Kanook just dropped the Crippler!

Kanook pins as the crowd chants along for the one...Two...Three!

Manic: Kanook just defeated Chris Benoit can you believe it!

Kanook is about to exit the ring when out of nowhere, Robert Mastro slams the cage door into his head.

Chico: Mastro strikes again!

- Flashback to Showdown Forty One -

Kanook: I am not out here to waste any time. You see, for the last few weeks I have had a pest to deal with called Robert Mastro. I don’t feel like waiting. Mastro, I am calling you out right now, right here in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The fans pop loudly as Kanook walks around in the middle of the ring.

Mastro is shown live in the backstage area talking into the camera.

Mastro: Now why would I do that? So I can kick your ass again like I have been doing for the last couple of weeks?

Kanook is visibly furious as Mastro continues.

Mastro: The fact is I have your number. I am the real deal. You are nobody.

Kanook: You talk a lot for a man who is hiding backstage like a little bitch!

The fans pop as Mastro laughs.

Mastro: Later tonight I will see you in that ring and I will give you just a preview of what I will do to you at Hell on Earth.

Kanook: You listen to me you son of a bitch. I’m coming for you and I won’t stop until I kick your ass all over this god damned building.

Mastro: Loud and clear.

The feed is cut off as Kanook drops the microphone.

Crazy Kanook and Blaze Rodriguez are squaring off against the team of Robert Mastro and Pike Lorenzo. Kanook tries to attack Mastro who bails out of the ring.

Mastro: Kanook is a bottom feeding, dick sucking piece of shit. I have a burning question. Have you met Satan? I raped Satan and then killed him.I am "The Real Mercy Killer". I am the one your parents warned people about. The one the Devil fears. So a modern day ripoff thinks that "Canadians are Hardcore". The only thing hardcore about Canada, is the bacon they make. I will hurt you.

Kanook loses his cool and charges into the ring.

Kanook: Have you lost your fucking mind? Did you honestly think I was just going to back down from you once you took me down? You are dumber then anyone thought if you believed that. I am going to show you why they call me the Crazy Kanook. Make no mistake about it Mastro. I am more hardcore then any man in this business. I am the meanest son of a bitch on the planet. You have no idea who you are messing with.

The referee tries to hold him back but Kanook moves him out of the way. Kanook grabs Mastro and starts unloading with rights and rights. Right, right, right, right. Mastro tries to cover up but continues to get pummeled. Kanook picks Mastro up and hits a German Suplex! Kanook maintains the hold as the referee continues to yell at him to get out of the ring. Kanook ignores him and hits another German Suplex!

Mastro: Kanook doesn't even deserve to lace up my boots. Kanook is a waste of talent, he makes Marcus Andrews look good. Shit, Hellion can beat his ass. I may sound like a broken record, but Kanook is an ass kisser! I am an ass kicker! You made this happen! When you bleed your own blood, its not my fault! It's yours! TAKE NO PRISONERS! This match is an Xtreme Rules match. No crying when I pull your mouth over your head! Prepare for your maker! I will end your career! You can thank me later.

The crowd is coming unglued. Lorenzo grabs Blaze and hooks a full nelson. Lorenzo drops Blaze with the Holy Grail! Mastro is still trying to break away from Kanook. Lorenzo forearm shots Kanook in the back of the head and dumps him out of the ring. Lorenzo grabs Mastro and tosses him on top of Blaze who is still on the canvas. The referee goes for the count. One...two...three! Lorenzo and Mastro pick up the win!

Kanook: So this is what you are trying to pass off as a promo? Used to be a skeleton? A mercy killer? You're nothing more then a joke. "Hell on Earth" I will prove just how good I am when I put you to shame. I am going to make you look like you have never once stepped foot inside a ring. I will show you that pain is not your friend. Laughing at how pathetic you truly are. You will not win this. I will make you look like a fool for messing with me Mastro. You have no style and no class and nine times out of ten you fail. See you there for as long as you can stay on your feet.

In the parking lot area we see a shot of Robert Mastro who is going to his rental car. Mastro looks up for a moment. Mastro jumps into the car and tries to start it up. Crazy Kanook charges up to the car as it's about ready to speed off. Kanook smashes the back window with a crowbar as the crowd pops. The video fades as we go back to ringside.

"The Crippler" Chris Benoit vs Chris Falkenyork

Chico: It has been a great night thus far Manic and up next is one of the most anticipated matches of the year.

Manic: If you ask me, any time Benoit steps in the ring is proof that God is an efed lover.

Chico: This match has been in the making for over 10 years and tonight, we finally get to see it.

“Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith plays and the fans get on their feet and greet Chris Benoit who walks out seriously and confidently. He wastes little time making his way down to the ring.

Worley: The following match is schedule for one fall. Introducing first from Toronto Ontario, Canada… “The Crippler” Chris Benoit!

Benoit is all business as he gets into the ring and runs the ropes warming up. He finally looks at the fans and raises his arms confidently as the fans pop loudly.

Chico: Benoit has never looked better.

Manic: Screw Benoit, look at Worley. I would motorboat her any day.

“Stone” by Alice in Chains plays as Chris Falkenyork walks out wearing a “My BFF’s Hair Smells like Coconut” t-shirt. He slowly makes his way down looking at the fans.

Worley: And his opponent hailing from Astoria, Oregon. Chris Falkenyork!

The fans boo as Falkenyork walks around the ringside area and spots Jared from Subway who’s holding a foot long sub. He hands it to Falkenyork who takes a bite out of an applewood pulled pork sub and thumbs up at the camera.

Chico: Convenient product placement right there.

Manic: I bet that was fresh.

Falkenyork enters the ring as the music fades out. The referee signals for the bell to ring and the match officially begins.

*ding ding ding*

They waste little time locking up in the center of the ring. Benoit transitions into a headlock and Falkenyork immediately hits a stiff kick pushing Benoit away before whipping him against the ropes. Benoit bounces back with a clothesline and York ducks and immediately runs the ropes. Both men collide in the center of the ring with simultaneous crossbody drops. Immediately, they roll to the side and get up to their feet before they hit a stale mate and the fans cheer.

Chico: They don’t seem to want to waste any time here.

Manic: And both men seem to be even when it comes to speed and technique Chico.

Benoit goes to lock up again but York fires off a stiff chop that catches Benoit off guard. Benoit grows visibly upset as York smirks and fires off another chop that smacks Benoit loudly.

Manic: You think this is wise Chico?

Chico: I don’t think Falkenyork cares to be honest.

Benoit charges enraged at Falkenyork but York quickly steps back before firing off another chop. Benoit rocks back and York immediately drops him with a body slam. Benoit gets to his feet and York pushes him into the corner turnbuckle and fires off another chop. Benoit blindly fires off a chop of his own but York steps back before surging forward and nailing a drop kick that sends Benoit back first into the turnbuckle knocking him down in a sitting position.

Chico: Falkenyork seems to have pushed the right buttons. Benoit is pissed!

Manic: You don’t want a pissed of murderer coming after you Chico, that’s common knowledge.

Falkenyork gets some distance before charging at Benoit hitting him with a running dropkick. Benoit seems to be out for the second as Falkenyork extends his arms confidently and nods in approval.

Chico: I guess even murderers are susceptible to getting their heads kicked off with dropkicks.

York goes to the corner and picks up Benoit by the hair. Benoit suddenly comes alive and fires off a huge chop which brings the crowd alive. WOOOOOOOOOO. York is visibly shocked as he holds his chest in pain. Benoit fires off a second, a third and a fourth in succession and York falls to his knees holding his chest which is visibly blood red.

Manic: Benoit was playing possum there!

Benoit nails York in the head with a running knee lift and York is in big trouble. Benoit lifts him up and sets him in the corner before nailing a fifth and sixth chop. The camera zooms in on York’s chest showing a trickle of blood pouring down. Benoit seems to feed on the blood like a man possessed. He whips York into the opposite turnbuckle chest first. York hits sternum first and bounces back right into Benoit’s grip.

Benoit lifts him for a German suplex. York sandbags him and hits a carefully placed elbow causing Benoit to release the hold. York hits a big right on Benoit who fires off another chop and York is visibly stunned as he takes a step back and holds his chest.

Chico: Falkenyork’s chest has been completely destroyed by Benoit. You can see his bare flesh!

Manic: Benoit must love it!

Benoit immediately hits York with a takedown and the place erupts as he proceeds to hit lefts and rights to the head. York hugs him and pulls him down closing the distance before reversing Benoit into the bottom position and gaining the top position in the process. The fans boo as York nails a quick right hand. Benoit fires back and York immediately grabs a hold of the arm and transitions into an Americana Armlock. Before York can complete Benoit rolls him over once more as the fans pop once again as Benoit headbutts York on the ground once, twice, three times.

Chico: Amazing reversal from both men! The fans are loving it.

A small trickle of blood pours down around York’s hairline. He takes a big swing and Benoit catches him on his own trap and grabs the arm before transitioning to a fijurama arm bar. Before he can fully lock it in York immediately rolls on to Benoit into a pin. 1… 2.. Benoit pushes him off immediately and both men roll to the side and get to their feet in fighting stances. Neither man makes a move as they reach yet another stalemate and the fans proceed to give them a round of applause.

Manic: We are witnessing two of the best technical wrestlers of all time putting on a clinic. There is no wasted movement here by either man.

Chico: They don’t just want to hurt each other Manic. They want to prove they are the better wrestler, period.

Both men circle each other. York extends his arm for a lock up but Benoit barges in and it breaks into a full blown brawl as the fans come alive. York and Benoit exchange lefts and right in the middle of the ring. York hits Benoit with a big right which rocks Benoit back. Benoit immediately fires back a huge haymaker that rocks York back. York answers with a superman punch that knocks Benoit down hard.

Chico: We have a slugfest!

Manic: Falkenyork might have broken his hand right there. He hit Benoit with everything he had!

Benoit shakes his head and rolls to his feet and York swarms on him with lefts and rights before driving his shoulder to the midsection and dropping Benoit with a DDT. York takes a quick breather and looks at Benoit who’s down on the mat.

Manic: That DDT hit right on the money. I sure hope Benoit didn’t suffer some brain damage right there.

York gets up and show votes once more before yelling at Benoit to get up. He grabs him by the hair and immediately Benoit grabs the arm and pulls York down for the Crossface. The fans in attendance erupt as York does his best to slip out but Benoit won’t release the arm. York rakes Benoit’s eyes with his free hand and slips out. Benoit rolls back to his feet and so does York.

Falkenyork lunges at Benoit with a big right hand but Benoit immediately chops him and the fans woo as York is rocked back. Benoit charges at him and York immediately delivers a spinning elbow. Benoit gets hit but absorbs the impact and grabs Falkenyork around the waist and immediately drops him with a German suplex without releasing the grip.

Manic: Here we go!

Falkenyork blocks and switches around hooking Benoit and dropping him with a German suplex of his own. Benoit is in trouble as York pulls him up and drops him immediately with a second suplex. The fans are booing heavily as York pulls him up for a third and arrogantly looks at the fans.

York laughs and hoists up Benoit for a third suplex. Benoit sandbags him and hits him with a huge elbow to the face. York holds his nose and Benoit drops York with a vicious German suplex. He lifts York a second time and drops him with another German suplex. He lifts York and drops him with a third German suplex as the fans cheer loudly as he pins 1… 2… kickout!

Chico: I thought he had him there for sure.

Manic: Falkenyork has proven to be one of the most resilient athletes in the world Chico. Benoit has to be careful frustration doesn’t get to him.

Benoit looks at York somewhat disappointed as he gets up and looks at the fans who cheer him on. He does the slash throat gesture as the arena come to their feet as Chris Benoit climbs the top rope. He drops a headbutt but York moves out of the way at the very last second! Benoit rolls around in pain holding his forehead and York quickly gets up and grabs Benoit’s legs. Immediately he turns Benoit over into the Version 7 and pulls back with everything he has.

Chico: The version 7. The elevated Boston crab!

Manic: The list of men that have submitted to this move is long and legendary. This move has won Falkenyork multiple championships including world titles. This is bad news for Benoit right here!

The referee gets in Benoit’s face who violently shakes his head and refuses to submit. York pulls back and screams for Benoit to tap out. Benoit holds the back of his head and continues shaking his head as he pulls himself towards the ropes. York holds on as Benoit inches closer and closer. Before Benoit can grab the ropes, York lets go and immediately drops an elbow to the back of Benoit’s head. Immediately, York grabs the arm and goes to lock in the crippler crossface. Benoit grabs a hold of the ropes and pulls himself out of the ring.

York quickly charges and delivers a baseball slide. Benoit sidesteps him and immediately drives him headfirst into the announcers table.

York moves out of the way seconds before Benoit hits him which causes Benoit to ram himself against the ring post. The referee is up to 7 in the count and York throws Benoit back in the ring.

Chico: I think Benoit could be unconscious here.

Manic: If that’s the case the referee should stop the contest in order to prevent some brain damage or something of the sort.

York follows right after Benoit, runs the ropes and hits a beautiful springboard shooting star. The fans are in awe before booing York as he hooks the leg. 1… 2… kickout!

Manic: There goes your unconscious theory Chico.

York is visibly frustrated as he looks at the referee in disbelief. He gets up and looks around before putting his hands together and signaling for the go to sleep. He gets in position and waits as a groggy Benoit slowly makes his way up.

Chico: Can York end it right here?

Benoit gets up and York hoists him up on his shoulders. Benoit slips out and hits York with a belly to back suplex. York gets up again and Benoit drops him back with a snap suplex. York gets up again on instinct and Benoit drops him with a vertical suplex as the fans pops louder every time. York seems to be out as Benoit climbs the ropes, extends his arms and drops a vicious headbutt. Benoit gets up and looks at the fans before applying the crippler crossface!

Manic: He has it!

York immediately screams as Benoit pulls back. The referee gets on York’s face whose face is quickly growing read. York screams “no” and tries to pull towards the ropes. Benoit is relentless pulling back on the forehead with the crossface. York seems to be fading and the fans are chanting for Benoit as the referee grabs York’s hand and lets go. The referee signals “One” and grabs the arm and lets it go which falls once more. The referee signals “Two” and grabs the arm again and lets go. A split second before the hand hits the ground York opens his eyes wide and screams from the top of his lungs while raising his arm.

He stretches out and drags himself towards the ropes. His eyes are growing bloodshot, his face is turning purple but he desperately pulls himself before grabbing the ropes. The referee forces Benoit to break the hold 1… 2…. 3…. 4…. Benoit lets go.

Chico: It doesn’t look like Falkenyork is too eager to get back in there Manic.

Manic: Can you blame him?

… 3…. 4… 5…. 6… York shrugs his arms and waves it off before making his way up the ramp. Benoit looks on in disbelief as York makes his way up to the top of the ramp. … 7… 8…

Chico: Are you serious?

Manic: York has had enough!

York looks at the camera and scoffs.

Falkenyork: What a waste of time!


York shrugs again and walks through the curtain to the back as the referee finishes the count. …9 ….10! The fans boo loudly and Benoit is visibly upset as the bell rings.

*ding ding ding*

Worley: The winner of this match as a results of a count out, Chris Benoit!

Benoit continues walking and spots Jared from Subway who’s wearing a “Falkenyork + Shotgun = Awesome Sauce”.  

Jared seems nervous but Benoit extends his hand gives him a handshake. Benoit pulls Jared over the barricade and has Jared lift his arm in victory. The fans cheer as Benoit nods and motions for Jared to enter the ring. The music stops as Benoit plays with the crowd and asks Jared to do the same. Jared plays the crowd and is met with instant boos. He scratches his head as Benoit smiles before kicking him in the midsection and droppings him with burning hammer DDT.

The fans explode as Benoit gets on top of Jared and proceeds to strangle him in the middle of the ring. A “Murder him!” chant starts up as Benoit releases his grip and stands above Jared and looks at the fans.

Benoit: I MURDERED HIM!

The arena explodes as they throw bibles at Benoit who raises his arms and nods proudly. “Back in the Saddle” plays again as Benoit makes his way up the ramp and we go backstage…

The scene opens up backstage with Nita Spankee standing next to the number 1 contender for the XWF Heavyweight Champion, Carlos Shotgun.

Nita: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time… Carlos Shotgun.

The fans boo as Shotgun confidently adjusts his sunglasses and looks at the camera.

Nita: Carlos, later tonight you face Rage for the XWF Heavyweight championship. Your thoughts?

Shotgun: It has been 11 long months. 11 long months since that fateful day when I lost my coveted XWF World Heavyweight championship. For 11 months I’ve been forced to sit back and watch as Rage has dominated everyone that stood in his way. People like the great Chris Falkenyork, the crazy Mark Adkins and the uh… rambling nutsack called The Original. For 11 months I have seen Rage walk around what that which is rightfully mine. Make no mistake about it Nita, I should had never lost the XWF heavyweight championship to begin with.

The fans are heard booing as Shotgun stops and acknowledges the reaction.

Shotgun: Tonight, the reign of The Elite begins once more as I bring the XWF to newer heights. I am a worthy champion. I am a proud man who is not afraid of competition which is why tonight I will walk out there on my own, look at Rage right in the eyes and say “Big man, it’s time you resume your role as Shotgun’s bitch once again”. Tonight I make history and I solidify myself as the greatest champion of ALL time. Thank you very much.

Shotgun walks away as Nita sends it back to the announcers at ringside.
