PART III
-------------
Backstage and we see Kazadine standing in front of a tall wooden box, with his daughter, Paige standing next to his side. She has on dark purple eye shadow and glitter around her eyes, resembling "Sensational" Sherri. Kazadine is about to give an interview to Gina Porter. Gina: Kazadine, talk about what happened out there? Kazadine: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! The X W F has no idea about the Dark Prince and the powers I possess. My daughter. Ruff! Ruff! My daughter knows... very well... tell them Paige. Paige: My FATHER is a GREAT MAN!! And everyone in the X W F take notice. Because my Father-- Kazadine: Ruff! Ruff! Paige: And I, are on a mission. To all the so called women out there in the XWF, these divas. If they want a shot at Paige, come and get it! I'm not afraid of a one of ya. Not Rach! Not Ashton! Not little Lynn. NOBODY! And if Ki Morbid wants to get her fat ass out of retirement-- she can come see me. Gina: Well I want to thank-- Kazadine: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Ruff! Gina: Thank you guys. Suddenly, "The Franchise" Troy Martin is seen walking up in the distance. Paige taps her father, Kazadine and he looks over his shoulder to see Troy approaching. Kazadine grabs his daughter, pulls her inside the large wooden box and closes the door shut. "The Franchise" pounds on the box and them rips the door open. Nobody is inside! "The Franchise" Troy Martin: What the heck? I just wanted to talk... oh well. How you doing Gina Porter? Gina: Well Troy-- "The Franchise" Troy Martin: That's nice Gina. Did you see what I did out there? Gina: Seemed to me... "The Franchise" Troy Martin: I'm sure, you thought, it was all that. Gina: Actually... wasn't bad for a debut. "The Franchise" Troy Martin: Wasn't bad? Wasn't bad? It was marvelous. He winks at her and walks off, with sweat dripping down his back. She looks flabbergasted as we cut to the ringside.

Xtreme Champion Blaze Rodriguez vs Pike "The Preacher" Lorenzo - Xtreme Championship
Danielle Worley is standing by for our next contest.
*ding* *ding* *ding*
Worley: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Xtreme Championship!
"Dance with the Devil" by Breaking Benjamin plays over the arena as Pike "The Preacher" Lorenzo makes his way out to a big mixed reaction. There's quite a few boos but there's also just as many cheers coming from all of his followers.
Manic: Lorenzo does not understand why anybody would boo him. He says all he's been trying to do is bring righteousness to the Xtreme Wrestling Federation.
Chico: Yeah but some people don't like to hear that kind of gospel. Regardless, you'd be hard pressed to bet money against this guy.
Worley: Making his way down the aisle is the challenger. From Saint Paul, Louisiana. Weighing in tonight at two hundred and sixty five pounds. Pike.."The Preacher"..Lorenzo!!
The crowd pops as Lorenzo enters the ring and waits for the champion to make his way out.
Manic: So what was Pike's mission again as far as why he wanted to face Blaze?
Chico: Shut up. Not getting into it. What we can promise though is that this is going to be an excellent match.
Lorenzo's theme cuts out as "Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi cues over the arena. The crowd pops big time as Xtreme Champion Blaze Rodriguez makes his way out next.
Manic: Here comes the champion!
Worley: Making his way down the aisle from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Weighing in tonight at two hundred and one pounds. He is the Xtreme Champion..Blaze..Rodriguez!!

Blaze gets back to his feet and runs the ropes. Blaze ducks an attempted clothesline and hits the other side. Lorenzo catches Blaze and flips him high into a powerbomb position.

Lorenzo's shoulders are down as the referee counts for a one...two...Lorenzo kicks out before the three.
Manic: Two count only!
Chico: That was close Manic I don't think Blaze can believe he didn't win it there.
Blaze points over towards the turnbuckle as he picks Lorenzo up and sends him into the corner. Blaze shoulder blocks Lorenzo into the midsection and hits the opposite side. Blaze charges at Lorenzo tries to throw Blaze behind him. Blaze catches himself on the top turnbuckle.
Manic: What in the hell?
Lorenzo turns around right into a moonsault from Blaze to a big pop once again as the referee counts. One...two...Lorenzo kicks out before the three.
Manic: Moonsault out of nowhere but Lorenzo still kicks out before the three!

-------------
Pike Lorenzo raises the belt high in the air when suddenly "Hard to See" by Five Finger Death Punch cues over the arena. The crowd starts going crazy as "The Beast" Dustin Holt makes his way out to a huge ovation.
Manic: Dustin Holt said he was going to be here tonight Chico! He's keeping to his promise!
Chico: Holt's contract ran out after XtremeMania 8 and we were all wondering what he would do. He didn't make it that big of a secret however that he was going to be back.
Lorenzo lowers the championship title as Holt waves his arms up in the air firing up the Pittsburgh crowd. Holt has a microphone in hand as he looks down the aisle at the new Xtreme Champion.
Manic: Holt has been called by many to be the greatest Xtreme Champion of the new era as he's held the title three times. Looks like he has something to say to a guy that he knows a little too well.
Holt's theme cuts out as Lorenzo waves to the ring announcer for a microphone. Danielle Worley hands the microphone over to Lorenzo.
Holt: Now hold on a second Pike before you go on and on about whatever it is that you're always talking about.
Lorenzo raises an eyebrow at Holt as the crowd pops.
Holt: After XtremeMania 8 as everyone knows by now my contract was up and it was under negotiation. I was told what the XWF had planned for me. They told me to lay low. They told me that they would get back to me when they needed me. Well I'm not one to be known for patience and the fact that tonight was either going to have Blaze Rodriguez or Pike Lorenzo as the Xtreme Champion...That made Dustin Holt sick to his stomach! I'm saying this right now Lorenzo. We all know what happened the last time you and I squared off and you were the Xtreme Champion. You might have your so called god on your side but..
Lorenzo: You shut your mouth Holt!
Holt looks a bit shocked about being cut off.
Lorenzo: Everyone knows that when it comes to speaking to my opponents that I don't discredit anything that they've done in this business. At XtremeMania I gave Chris Falkenyork as much credit as he deserved. At the end of our match however, the result was exactly what I said it was going to be. Pike Lorenzo ending the biggest XtremeMania streak of all time.
Holt: I hate to break it to you Pike but I'm not Chris Falkenyork I'm not some Carlos Shotgun butt kisser!
Lorenzo: No Dustin you're not. That would be above you.
The crowd pops as Holt looks more pissed off.
Lorenzo: I already knew, I felt it. I knew that the moment that I defeated Blaze Rodriguez that you would want to make your not so glorious return Dustin. You didn't make it much of a secret as much as the guys in the back told you to calm yourself and be patient. Then again the guys in the back have been nothing but patient with you since you've been here and you've been nothing more than a disappointment. You wanna know why I made it my mission to get to this point in time where we are talking? It was because the chosen ones Blaze Rodriguez and Hayden Truesdale couldn't get the job done and put you out of your misery. So I put those two out of theirs. They were known as the.. It starts with an L. That's all I'm going to say. Pike Lorenzo is someone that looks up to a guy with a capital L. You know who that is?
Holt: Lu..
Lorenzo: The LORD you idiot!
The crowd pops once again.
Lorenzo: You want to come back and make a statement that's fine but it's not going to come at the expense of the lord himself. It's also not going to come at the expense of Pike Lorenzo! I'm not waiting for you to beg for a matchup with me Dustin. No, I'm not going to do that. I WANT to embarrass you. I want to expose you for the fact that you're all hype. Not only that, but I think while I'm at it I'll just do the same thing for anybody who wants to call themselves a member of your Legion.
Holt: Oh you think so?
Lorenzo: I know so Holt! It doesn't matter that you've held the Xtreme Championship three times or that you're backed by a Legion. By the time I'm done with you and your Legion you will wish that you would've never came back at all! Why? Because I'm Pike Lorenzo. A man of integrity, Xtreme Sportsmanship, a Savior to the Masses. Because that's who I am, and that's who I care about!
Lorenzo drops the microphone and raises the belt high up in the air one more time as "Dance with the Devil" plays over the arena. Holt and Lorenzo continue to stare each other down as the camera fades.

Main Event: World Heavyweight Champion "The Modern Day Monster" Rage vs "The Elite Savior" Carlos Shotgun - World Heavyweight Title
Danielle Worley is standing by for the introduction to tonight's main event.
*ding* *ding* *ding*
Worley: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. It is for the Xtreme Wrestling Federation World..Heavyweight..Championship!
The crowd pops on that announcement.
Manic: So much history here Chico.
Chico: We're about to add to it.
Pearl Jam is standing by at a side stage to play a live rendition of Carlos Shotgun's theme "Do the Evolution"
Manic: We're in an indoor arena I don't think there's going to be any helicopter landings going on.
Chico: Don't underestimate Iron Bong!
Carlos Shotgun makes his way out to huge heat from the Pittsburgh crowd.
Manic: There he is!
Chico: Yeah.
Shotgun looks from left to right with his arms raised high in the air.
Shotgun: This match tonight is dedicated to my loved ones. Me, myself, and I!
Shotgun lowers his arms before continuing his way down the ramp.
Worley: Making his way down the aisle is the challenger. From San Juan, Puerto Rico. Weighing in tonight at two hundred and twenty five pounds. "The Elite Savior"..Carlos..Shotgun!!
Shotgun enters the ring and thinks about posing on one of the corner turnbuckles before deciding against it. Instead Shotgun leans into a corner and takes out his iPhone 7GS and snaps a self face shot and a middle finger before typing something into his phone. Shotgun hands the phone over someone on the outside before pacing around the ring. Manic gets a Twitter notification from his Galaxy S2 before checking what it says.
Manic: What the?
Rage falls down to one knee as the referee calls for the
bell.
Chico: "My god Manic!!! We have a
new champion!!!"
*ding* *ding* *ding*
The crowd is an emotional mess of cheers and boos as the
referee hands Rage the World Heavyweight Title.
The video transitions to Showdown where Rage is seen
standing in the ring with the XWF heavyweight championship.
Rage: Right now? Everything
revolves around ME and ONLY me and there is nothing ANYBODY
can do about it.
Showdown episode forty is shown as “Only” by Nine Inch
Nails begins to play and the fans get on their feet as the
world champion Rage walks out with the world championship
around his shoulder.
He wastes no time darting to the ring as the fans chant
“Rage gonna kill you”. Shotgun nervously looks at Rage and
looks around as he loosens up his tie and stands back as Rage
enters the ring.
Rage: There is a reason why they
call me the elite killer. There is a reason why these people
are chanting “Rage is going to kill you.” I have destroyed
everyone who has stood in front of me, including you…
A flashback is shown once again at King of Xtreme 2012
Rage sets up for the powerbomb again as Shotgun's arms
hang down limp with no movement. Rage lifts Shotgun up high in
the air.
Manic: "No! No!"
Rage slams Shotgun on the ringsteps with the Straight to
Hell powerbomb.
Manic: "Shotgun just got sent
Straight to Hell!!!"
Chico: "He's done Manic. Shotgun is
done!"
Rage is shown at Showdown episode 40 adressing Shotgun
right in front of him.
Rage: I’m about to kill a bitch.
**
Shotgun: “Big man, you are nothing
but a seven feet tall sack of shit!”
The ending of Showdown Episode 39 is shown.
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!
Shotgun: I have shown the world
time and time again that I am the evolution of this
business. I am he who defines greatness. I am better than
Benoit, I am better than The Crazy Kanook and I am damn sure
better than the so called “champion”… Rage!
Showdown episode 41 is shown.
Shotgun picks up Rage by the hair, hits him in the
mid-section and sets him up for the Bullet Bomb. With the help
of Falkenyork he gets him up and drops him down with a massive
Bullet Bomb. Shotgun nods confidently as Falkenyork pats him
in the back proudly.
Shotgun: When you mess with The
Elite you get your ass whooped, Rage. And at Hell on Earth
your so called Elite Killer status will be shattered…
A collage of shots featuring both men is shown through
their battles before concluding with a graphic hyping Shotgun
vs. Rage for the XWF Heavyweight Championship at Hell on
Earth.
The camera cuts back to ringside with Dan Manic and Chico
Esteveguez and the sold out is pumped for the main event.
Chico: This is as good as it gets Manic. This is a
rematch everyone has been waiting to see for a very long
time. Rage has been the world champion for 11 months and
during that time he has left as mark as arguably the
greatest champion of all time.
Manic: Rage will go down in history
as one of the finest champions the XWF has ever seen. I
couldn’t be more excited to see this match Chico.
