Opening Match: Kazadine the Dark Prince vs "Happy Go Luckies" Ace
Gary is down at ringside, clapping for his partner Ace. When suddenly Kazadine makes his entrance, with Paige by his side. They get to the bottom of the ramp and he pulls off his cape, draping it over his daughter. He says a magic phrase and barks before revealing that she has disappeared. A couple fans clap while the majority of the crowd boos him. Kazadine enters the ring, and Ace goes for the attack right away! He hammers on Kazadine's back and Kazadine just shoves him to the mat. Ace looks wide-eyed and Gary encourages him to get back in there.
The commentators say Ace might be showing a different side of him here, a little more aggressive. Instead Ace stands up and starts taunting Kazadine. The Dark Prince lunges for Ace and he side steps him, slapping Kazadine on the butt and skipping around the ring. The crowd gives him heat and Kazadine looks pissed off. Ace goes to slap him on the butt again and Kazadine pulls his hand away and decks him with a hard right hand. Kazadine then grabs Ace in to a side headlock on the mat. The referee checks on him and Ace shakes his head no. Kazadine releases the hold and kicks Ace in the back. Kazadine the backs up and yells something at Gary before picking Ace up by the arm and slinging him in to the corner. Kazadine moves back and goes to rush in but Gary shoves Ace out of the way and Kazadine catches the top turnbuckle on the face.
Ace goes for a Brogue Kick and it connects. Kazadine goes down hard and Ace makes the cover. One, two, kick out! Chico tells Manic on commentary that Ace is fighting Angry tonight. He says, "Maybe they ain't the "Happy Go Luckies" anymore, maybe this a new day and age for Ace and Gary as the "Angry Go Luckies". Ace picks Kazadine up and slings his head over the top rope. He goes to lift his legs up to kick him but Kazadine pushes himself up off the rope and turns to kick Ace in the gut. Gary gets on the apron and Kazadine elbows him off. Ace goes for a clothesline and Kazadine ducks. Ace nearly falls over and turns back around to face Kazadine who has backed off a bit. Ace gets mad and rushes in and Kazadine drops him with the Back Body Drop. Kazadine then barks before doing a Double Stomp to Ace's chest! Kazadine "The Dark Prince" then backs up a few feet and starts rolling his right hand around in circles, ready to go for the knock out blow. Ace gets to a knee and Kazadine is tired of waiting, he grabs Ace by the arm and spins him around. Ace gets a glance at Kazadine before he hits him with a Heart Punch to the chest! The commentators state that that is the same finisher that has shelved Hayden Truesdale. Kazadine crosses his arms over his chest and gets the one, two, three!
Winner by Pinfall: Kazadine the Dark Prince
----------------
Kazadine gets up and kicks Ace out of the ring. Ace rolls out on the apron and Gary slings him over his shoulder. Gary pouts and yells, "We're gonna get you silly!" Kazadine looks disgusted and barks a few times. Kazadine "the Dark Prince" then kneels and raises his arms to the air. Down from the ceiling, a cage is being lowered, with a tiger in it. The crowd is laughing this off when suddenly Kazadine points to the cage and there's a puff a smoke, and when the smoke clears, there's something that appears to be a tiger, covered with a cape. Suddenly, his daughter Paige stands up out from under the cape and reveals herself to massive heat from the crowd. A Voice: Hold up! Just hold up a minute now. The camera pans to show Martin slowly walking down the ramp, mic to his mouth. Martin: I thought that was great... how you made that tiger disappear. I wish you could make that whole roster back there... disappear. Troy gets some boos as he struts to the ring and walks along that outside, near the guard rail. Martin: But in all seriousness. I have been taking notice of what's going on around here. I'm well aware of everyone's reputation in the XWF. Your's included. Let me tell you... quite impressive. Quite an impressive resume. If you don't mind, I'd like to talk further? Could we arrange that? Kazadine pulls his daughter, Paige from the cage and eye balls Troy Martin down. Kazadine looks put off by all this and asks Paige what she thinks. She starts nodding her head and Kazadine agrees with her. Kazadine "the Dark Prince" starts to nod his head along with his daughter, towards Martin and he smiles. Martin: Good. I'm glad we could arrange that. Now, what I'm going to do later... to CF Magnum. His face... well, I'm going to RE arrange... THAT! Martin back pedals slowly and then heads up the ramp as Paige and Kazadine "the Dark Prince" discuss further. The crowd has mixed feelings, as most people boo Kazadine as the cameras cut to a commercial.

Ki Morbid vs Ashton Storm
Ki Morbid is already in the ring as Ashton Storm makes her entrance. She slides into the ring and the referee calls for the bell.
Ki and Ashton lock up with neither gaining advantage. Ki fires a right and Ashton answers with a right and an all out brawl ensures when suddenly “Come Undone” by My Darkest Days plays and The Legion’s logo is seen on the big screen. Rachael Manning comes out with a steel chair and runs directly into the ring.
Ashton pushes Ki into Rachael and eats a chair shot to the side of the head. Ki clotheslines Rachael by Rachael ducks under and swings with a chair shot to the gut before swinging a big shot to the back. Ki tries to get up and Rachael hits a big shot to the side of the head knocking her out as the referee signals for the bell to ring.
No Contest
----------------
Rachael stands in the ring as the announcer hands her a microphone.
Rachael: The era of darkness is upon you. The Legion has come to take over and no division is safe. We will overtake and dominate the XWF like never before. These two sad pathetic women are nothing but a mere example of what we will do.
The fans boo as Rachael looks around confident.
Rachael: You have been warned. The Legion will take no prisoners. The Legion won’t back down. The Legion can’t be stopped.
Rachael drops the microphone and looks at the camera before making her way to the back as her theme plays again.
----------------
Paige is backstage and she's talking to Rachael Manning for some reason. Rachael walks off as Troy Martin slowly struts up, covered in sweat still, as he towels himself down. Martin: Hey Paige! I like what I seen out there... I really did. He smiles big and soaks her in. Martin: And well, I know... you're an assistant at all, but if you ever wanted to... umm... assist me. Well, that could be arranged also. Paige is about to say something, when her father, Kazadine "the Dark Prince" starts to walk up. Martin: I got to go. I'll talk to you's later. Paige seems caught up in the moment, as Troy walks off confidently and Kazadine arrives a second too late. Kazadine: What was that about? Paige looks him over, unsure herself. Kazadine: Well...? Are we meeting up later or what? His daughter, Paige just stands there speechless and shakes her head, as she walks off. Kazadine looks back down the hallway that Troy exited and he has a strange look on his face.
----------------
We go to a segment that was taped earlier at Chris Benoit's residence in Atlanta, Georgia. Benoit is sitting on a weight bench. As the camera zooms out we can see stacks upon stacks of Holy Bibles. Benoit is staring at a cable before looking towards the camera.
Benoit: You know something Falkenyork.
Benoit laughs to himself for a moment.
Benoit: I remember before our match at Hell on Earth that I put the blame on you for going to jail. I put the blame on you for the fact that I had a court date that prevented me from travelling to Cleveland for Showdown. You made things pretty clear after Hell on Earth that, that.
Benoit rolls his eyes.
Benoit: You're still nothing more than a BOW Reject. Ha. Maybe it was Carlos Shotgun buying you a bunch of hookers that made you do what you did when you costed me a chance at the belt against the former champ Rage. It's inevitable though York. Inevitable that the belt WILL BE MINE SOON ENOUGH.
Benoit starts rubbing his hands together.
Benoit: It had nothing to do with you wanting to face off against me to see who the best damn technical wrestler is. You walked out. You walked out because you already knew the answer. You knew the answer Chris. You knew the answer BEFORE our match at Hell on Earth. You think this is all a joke and that everything is over with. It's not even close Chris, not close at all. So you have your fun tonight at Showdown and give all the love and support to your BFF Carlos. Carlos already knows what I have in store for him. As for you Chris? You don't have a goddamn clue what's in store for you.
Benoit stands up and walks off as the camera cuts out.

"Syndicate" CF Magnum vs "The Franchise" Troy Martin - Xtreme Rules
CF Magnum is accompanied in the ring by Wesley Valor, who is leaning in and giving him advice. "The Franchise" Troy Martin's music begins playing and the crowd turns their heads towards the ramp. Troy Martin instead hops over by the time keeper's table and pulls him off the chair. Troy slides in the ring and before Wesley Valor could notice him, "CF watch out!" Troy swings and connects across CF Magnum's skull. Troy then kicks Wesley Valor in the gut and he spills out the ropes. Troy swings again and connects with a chair across the back, and another! He smiles at the audience and looks at the ref, asking if he rang the bell yet, the ref then instructs for the match to begin.

He grabs Troy by the shoulder and Troy charges with a clothesline that takes him down, and Magnum's head bouncing off the apron. Troy works the crowd and starts going after Wesley Valor. But Valor manages to stay away from him. Magnum rolls back in the ring but Troy reaches for the steel chair first and blasts CF Magnum across the face. Troy goes for a pin. One, two, and no, he can't get the three count! The crowd is red hot.
CF Magnum is slow to his feet and "The Franchise" Troy Martin seems to be signaling for something. He grabs CF Magnum in a Bear Hug and then CF Magnum manages to gauge his eyes and elbow him in the sternum. CF Magnum backs up and boots Troy Martin hard in the stomach and Troy keels over. CF Magnum goes for a massive Power Bomb but Troy Martin slips out and lands on his feet. Troy grabs CF Magnum again and goes for that Belly to Belly Suplex!! He connects and the crowd errupts, he hooks a leg for the one, two, and yes, he gets the three!! Wesley begins shaking his head in disbelief. And Troy leans on the second turnbuckle, smiling at the fans in attendance.
Winner by Pinfall: "The Franchise" Troy Martin
----------------
After the match Wesley Valor pulls CF Magnum out of the ring and consoles him at first. Then as they are going up the ramp Valor begins to scold him. "The Franchise" Troy Martin raises his arms in the air and gets a mixed reaction from the fans!
----------------
The camera cuts to a shot of Lars Douglas who is backstage. One of Lars's assistants hands him a cell phone. Lars puts the phone to his ear.
Lars: Yeah?
The expression on Lars's face changes.
Lars: Kanook I told you already that because of what happened at the Pay Per View that it's in your best interest to take a couple shows off. We can't afford to have you out of action any longer than that!
Lars pauses for a moment before his eyes pop out of his head.
Lars: What? No! I know Mastro is a jackass you think I don't know that? We need to talk things over. Whatever you do, don't show up at the next Showdown! No! Hello? Hello? Shit.
Lars lowers the phone down unsure of what to do.

“Stone” by Alice in Chains plays and Christian Falkenyork
comes out wearing a “Best BFF In the World’ shirt. He has a
huge smile on his face as he confidently walks down the ramp
and slides into the ring where a table has been set up with
floral arrangements. He grabs the microphone and looks at the
fans who boo him loudly. ----------------
Falkenyork: Let me make something clear
right off the bat. I could talk about how I outwrestled, out
classed and downright dominated Chris Benoit at Hell on
Earth but I’m not here to do that…
The fans start chanting for “Benoit” as Falkenyork laughs it
off.
Falkenyork: I could talk about how
pathetic of a hold the crippler crossface is but I’m not
here to do that either. Hell, I could point out what a
blatant waste of time was facing Chris Benoit in the middle
of this ring was but the truth is, I’m not here to talk
about that either. I’m here to talk about what really
matters. I’m here to talk about my best friend…
Immediately the fans start a “You suck” chant and Falkenyork
acts surprised. He points at himself in disbelief then waves
it off.
Falkenyork: Nah, you guys don’t mean
that. You see, at Hell on Earth the whole world saw my BFF
overcome the odds. The world saw what the elite can do when
we work as a unit. In one fell swoop, we killed the so
called “Elite Killer” and sent him home packing...
A loud "Rage" chant starts up from his
home town crowd.
Falkenyork: I’m out here because I want to personally
introduce your hero, a true humanitarian, the man with
awesome coconut smelling hair and killer glutes… my best
friend, and also, a heck of a guy if I may say so myself…
“The Elite Savior” Carlos Shotgun!
The lights go out and the fans start buzzing. Pyro explodes
on top of the ramp and blinding the fans immediately followed
by blue and purple lights illuminating the ramp way all the
way to the top of the stage. “No you Girls” by Franz Ferdinand
begins to play as smoke fills up the entrance way. Lines of
women begin to walk down aisle all the way to the ring
standing on each side, all of them wearing black tights shorts
and the brand new “Elite” t-shirts.
They form lines to each side and the lights go out again and
the music fades. “Do the Evolution” by Pearl Jam begins to
play and Carlos Shotgun walks out wearing a dark gray Brioni
suit and tie while holding a briefcase. He adjusts his
sunglasses and looks at the camera before holding out the XWF
heavyweight championship.
Shotgun: He who holds the title gets
the bitches.
Shotgun proceeds to walk down as the girls applaud his every
step, reaching at him trying to get a feel. He stands among
them and smiles confidently before raising the title and
looking at the fans who boo him out of the arena. Shotgun
steps into the ring and looks at Falkenyork proudly. He pats
him in the shoulder and hands him the briefcase before taking
extending his arms in the savior pose in the middle of the
ring.
Shotgun: Thank you for that wonderful
ovation. Thank you all. I am speechless…
Falkenyork claps as the fans boo.
Shotgun: I told you. I told you all! I
told the world I wouldn’t rest until I got that which is
rightfully mine. I told the world the beating Rage gave me
was nothing but a fluke! I told you all I wouldn’t rest
until I could come out here and say my name is Carlos
Shotgun and I am YOUR XWF Heavyweight CHAMPION!
Shotgun holds up the belt proudly as Falkenyork continues to
applaud.
Shotgun: Now first things first. I want
to congratulate someone who has been with me since the
beginning. Someone who has believed in me even when times
were hard. Someone who has pushed me to become a better
athlete. I want to thank someone who never gave up on me
because he knew for a fact I would define a whole new
generation…
Shotgun looks at Falkenyork who seems anxious and excited
with every word.
Shotgun: I want to thank first and foremost the hardest
working man in the business, the man who proves time and
time again what being a legend is all about. That’s right, I
want to thank the most important person in the world… ME!
Shotgun extends his arms in gratitude as the fans boo again.
Falkenyork looks somewhat deflated as Shotgun adjusts his
sunglasses and looks at him.
Shotgun: Now my second order of
business. York… buddy… I am out here to personally thank you
for being… my friend…
Falkenyork seems shocked and the fans are somewhat puzzled
before booing both men.
Shotgun: After that slight help you
gave me at Hell on Earth… not that I needed it… but you
helped me make history. You helped me become the first ever
four time XWF Champion. York… as much as I hate to say it…
you are my um, my ahem…
Falkenyork: Yes…?
Shotgun: You’re my *cough*, my erm,
you’re my… B…F…F…
Falkenyorks nods approvingly as Shotgun immediately shakes it
off.
Shotgun: So anyway, as a sign of
gratitude I want to make you a gift. I want to give you
something I know you’ll enjoy. You see all those girls York?
Shotgun points at the 2 lines of women that go from the ring
all the way up the ramp.
Shotgun: They are here not for me,
they’re all here… for you.
Falkenyork points at himself in disbelief.
Falkenyork: Me?
Shotgun: That’s right. Nothing but the
best for my fellow elite. And don’t worry about coughing up
roses buddy. I bought the whole damn garden, just for you.
Falkenyork looks to be in heaven as he holds out his arms for
a hug. Shotgun hesitates and gives him a firm handshake
instead.
Shotgun: You deserve it man. Now I need
to take care of some business. Girls? Why don’t you all go
fill up the tour bus waiting in the back? The one marked
CSR. My friend over here will be joining you shortly, ok?
Falkenyork: Let me take care of this.
Bitches, leave!
The women look sad as they walk to the back.
Shotgun: This is a night of
celebration. This is a night for gratitude. I am grateful to
all of my loyal hardcore fans sitting in this arena chanting
my name. I am grateful for the support I have gotten my
whole career. Finally the XWF has a hero, a man of strong
moral values and awesome smelling hair. I shall rule the XWF
with pride and honor and I will make sure to entertain each
and every one of you.
Shotgun points at the fans who boo and start chanting “shut
the fuck up”.
Shotgun: Now there is one man I need to
thank as well. One man who proved he can rise to the
occasion. I would like to call out the man who broke
Kanook’s leg… give it up for Robert Mastro!
Shotgun: Looking sharp there buddy.
Mastro thumbs up as Shotgun adjusts his sunglasses.
Shotgun: Mastro I have to admit, when I
hired you to take out Kanook I had no idea you would do this
good of a job. You see, I knew Kanook would stand in my way
for the championship, and I knew I needed a crazy fucker who
got off on hurting people and you just happened to fit the
bill. Mastro, you are by far the craziest fucker I know and
I thank you for taking out that piece of crap Kanook for
good.
A “Kanook” chant breaks out which Shotgun immediately waves
off.
Mastro: Shotgun, it was my pleasure to
humiliate and destroy Kanook. Truth be told, I might have
done it for free just for my own personal enjoyment, but
when you approached me to take him out how could I say no? I
am a mercy killer after all.
The fans boo as Shotgun nods confidently.
Mastro: I enjoyed beating Kanook to
within an inch of his life and chances are I will do it
again, this time on the house. This job is done, though.
It’s finished. I don’t want to sound disrespectful or
anything Shotgun, but I would like to get my compensation
now…
Shotgun laughs and takes off his shades.
Shotgun: Of course. Straight to the
point. I like that.
Falkenyork hands Shotgun the briefcase who hands it to
Mastro. Mastro lays it on the table and opens it revealing
stacks of 100 dollar bills.
Shotgun: Have you ever seen 500
thousand dollars in cash before, Mastro? Quite the sight,
isn’t it?
Falkenyork is seen staring at the money before Shotgun nudges
him in the arm annoyed. Mastro closes the briefcase and smiles
at Shotgun.
Mastro: You are a man of your word
Shotgun. It was my pleasure to do business with you.
Mastro goes to shake Shotgun’s hand but Shotgun stops him and
smiles.
Shotgun: I don’t think you get it
Mastro. I didn’t hire you for one job. This was a test… and
you passed. I think you are ready for the big time. Mastro,
how would you like to join York and I and become a member of
the most dominant force in wrestling history? Mastro… I
would like you to become an ELITE Mercy Killer.
Mastro looks at Shotgun in shock as Falkenyork applauds.
Shotgun: I have been keeping my eye on
you for a long time. I like the way you made a statement
early in your career as you annihilated The Hellion. I like
that you beat Marcus Andrews into mental retardation with a
steel chair inside of a cage just because you could. You
were in the feud of the year in your rookie year. You are
loyal and you are reliable. Will you join us and become an
Elite?
Mastro looks around at the fans somewhat confused before
looking at the money. He puts the microphone to his mouth and
goes to speak.
Mastro: …
Shotgun: Don’t be shy Mastro.
Falkenyork stands next to Mastro and pats him in the back
reassuringly.
Mastro: Shotgun… Falkenyork… my answer
is…
Immediately, Chris Falkenyork hits a superkick on Mastro
causing the microphone to fly up. Shotgun begins to stomp
Mastro down along with York as the fans boo. Shotgun seems
like a man possessed as he orders Falkenyork to restrain
Mastro. He hits him with the championship belt to the side of
the head which causes Mastro to collapse.
Shotgun tells Falkenyork something before he continues to
stomp down the fallen Mastro. Falkenyork slides to the outside
and looks for something under the ring. He pulls out a gas can
and the fans are going crazy. He re-enters the ring and hands
it to Shotgun. Shotgun signals Falkenyork who grabs Mastro and
applies the Version 7 (elevated boston crab).
Mastro is barely conscious as he looks at Shotgun with rage.
Shotgun grabs a microphone and laughs as he looks at Mastro.
Shotgun: You know something buddy? When
I hired you I never thought in a million years you would get
the job done. You were supposed to be a distraction, nothing
more. Now I see how dangerous you are. You see that money
Mastro? Do you?!
Shotgun punches Mastro on top of the head and kneels down in
front of him.
Shotgun: Look at me when I talk to you!
Mastro’s eyes are red with fury and Shotgun seems to be
feeding on it as Falkenyork pulls back with everything he has.
Shotgun: To men like you, that money
means a new life. A new beginning. To me? That’s fucking
chump change. The XWF belongs to The Elite now, Mastro.
Shotgun sweeps the table before placing the briefcase on it.
He opens it and scatters the money on the table. The camera
zooms in on the bills as Shotgun starts dousing them with the
gas can. The fans are going wild as Shotgun pulls out a Zippo
lighter and looks down at Mastro.
Shotgun: My patience has worn thin. The
Elite will no longer sit back and be passive agents as we
watch this fed destroy itself. Anyone who is deemed a threat
will be eliminated. This was supposed to be your new life
Mastro. I want you to watch, I want you to watch as I burn
your fucking life down into the ground…
Mastro: No!
Shotgun lights the Zippo lighter and tosses it at the money
and immediately it goes up in flames. The fans are shocked as
the bills burn up. Mastro is livid and he pulls with
everything he has and breaks the Version 7! He pushes
Falkenyork back but Shotgun kicks him in the mid-section and
bulletbombs Mastro on the table through the burning money as
the fans explode with “holy shit” chants.
Shotgun pulls out a cigarette and places it in his mouth
before kneeling down and grabbing a burning stack of 100
dollar bills. He lights up the cigarette using the money and
exhales the smoke before looking down at Mastro.
Shotgun: Enjoy your new life, kid. You
earned it.
Shotgun adjusts his suit and puts on his sunglasses as “Do
the Evolution” begins to play again. He motions to Falkenyork
and they both walk up the ramp as physicians rush down to the
ring to check on Mastro and the scene fades to black.
End of Show
