Xtreme Wrestling Federation is at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, New York as "Showdown: Episode Thirty Nine" is on the air! "XtremeMania 8" has come and gone and tonight marks the first show after what many have considered XWF's biggest Pay Per View to date. Tonight's main event will be a Triple Threat match to determine who squares off against the World Champion at XWF's next Pay Per View, "Hell on Earth".

----------------

President Lars Douglas is standing by in the ring as "Only" by Nine Inch Nails cues up. World Champion "The Modern Day Monster" Rage makes his way out to a huge ovation. The announcers go over how long Rage has been champion and the competition he has faced to get to where he is today. Rage steps inside the squared circle as Lars is clapping his hands. The music cuts out as Rage snatches the microphone away from the President.

Rage: You never sucked up to me before Lars so why are you going to start now?

Lars stops clapping as Rage walks back and fourth for a moment inside the ring.

Rage: I will however thank you for the fact that for once I didn't have to go out of my way to ask for time on the microphone. I didn't have to speak to my legal agent or randomly powerbomb people straight to hell. Ha. I know that according to everyone out there that XtremeMania was going to be my downfall. That my time peaked at at King of Xtreme when I won this championship in what was called the Match of the Year against Carlos Shotgun. Crazy Kanook threw everyone off guard when he walked into Xtreme Battle Zone a match that had the odds on Pike Lorenzo. Well he shocked the world when he became number one contender for the World Championship. At XtremeMania however, there was going to be no pass of the torch no shock no questions at all.

The crowd cheers for the champion.

Rage: I know this is New York City and you guys know a good thing when you see it. Really? I don't care what any of you think. I don't care what Kanook thinks or what Lars Douglas thinks or what Mike Lucente thinks. I don't care if you're an Elite or if you're the returning Chris Benoit who has said that he has come back for this belt also. Right now? Everything revolves around ME and ONLY me and there is nothing ANYBODY can do about it.

Benoit: Please stop, don't make me kill myself please!

Rage looks up towards the videotron as "The Crippler" Chris Benoit is standing by.

Benoit: Rage, how's it going? You remember me, right? Of course you do. I remember, I remember many years ago when you mean't as much to this place as some scrub named the Dark Stranger. You guys have a striking resemblance by the way. Maybe not as much as me and Kanook do but it's still there.

Rage: What do you want?

Benoit: Oh I'm sorry am I wasting your time? Everybody knows that I can beat you Rage. How do they know? Because I've already done it before, and I can do it again. As far as this number one contenders match goes. Kanook is nothing more than a wannabe and I already defeated Shotgun at XtremeMania so..

The videotron splits into two screens as we get a shot of Carlos Shotgun as the crowd pops once again. Shotgun is just getting done taking a drag off of a joint as he breathes the smoke out.

Shotgun: I must be high because I could've sworn I just heard Chris Benoit say that he defeated me at XtremeMania. That match was a travesty and a prime example of favoritism towards everyone's favorite murderer. Luckily there are those out there who have gone over the footage along and will notice that I was not tapping out there. I did not tap out. I was trying to fire up the crowd and the referee took it as if it was a tapout.

Benoit: What?

Shotgun: Benoit I know you have shit for brains but even you know for a fact that I was just Shotguning Up when I was waving my hands everywhere trying to fire up this crowd. You know it that's why you didn't stick around for too long after the referee called for the bell. I should be number one contender regardless because I have something that you and Kanook don't have. I have a remat..

Rage: Shut up!

Shotgun: Okay.

The screen splits one more time as we get a shot of The Crazy Kanook who is on the ground grabbing a hold of his leg in pain. The announcers are questioning what happened.

Lars: What the hell is this?

Rage is just laughing while looking at the screen. Various medical personnel rush over towards Kanook who is still down on the floor backstage. Shotgun is holding up a piece of paper with an arrow pointed over towards Benoit's direction that says "He Loves the Cock". The crowd just laughs it off as the camera cuts out to the scene backstage with Kanook. Bob Levy is standing backstage with Kanook who looks very pissed at this time.

Levy: What happened?

Kanook: It was Mastro!

Levy: Mastro?

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

----------------

The camera cuts to a prerecorded vignette. A couple people, surrounding the pool, on a hot summer day. A voice over is heard of a man with a deep voice.

Voice: It ain't a party, without a KEG!

Party goer: KEG's here!

Then the image if a man, wearing surfing trunks, and a white Hawaiian shirt with red trim. He stands there proud, with his arms out.

Voice: What's going on guys?!

The camera pans to show all the people, wearing sunglasses, sweating, with serious cottonmouth. And when they notice this man, they all CHEER! Then the deejay begins spinning some music and the camera zooms in on this guy, who flashes a smile, and his front right tooth twinkles.

* KEG *

Keg: KEG's here!!

Coming soon to the XWF.

Syndicate is standing in their private pimped out dressing room getting ready for their tag title defense. The Original has the mic in hand, as Wesley Valor tries to calm down CF Magnum in the one corner, and in the other, Mark Adkins is chewing his nails. Original looks at the camera.

Original: Where to begin? Well it started when I was a youngster... when I first wanted to get in to this business. I always told myself. Hell, I want to be like one of those great tag teams. I want to come up in that division, and work my way to the top, like the greats before me! Now, I didn't exactly do it in that order. And I have won the tag titles before. In fact, I'm a three time XWF Tag Team Champion. But the other times... we're different. Now, we... are... here.

Fans give a mixed reaction and The Original looks over his shoulder at Mark.

Original: And I know what Mark Adkins is thinking..... just like I know what you are all thinking tonight. And that's, why in the hell are we in this tag match to begin with? Are we really defending the Tag Belts against some poets from Hollywood?

Original shrugs and some fans boo. Wesley Valor approaches and Original waves him off.

Original: So you know. So you all know... yeah, it's for real. As crazy as it seems. It's really happening.... and meanwhile, here we are. At the "Syndicate Hour"... every hour, on the hour--

Wesley Valor cuts off Original.

Valor: Perhaps Mark has something he'd like to say?

They both shoot Adkins a look and Mark shakes his head no. Valor walks over to him anyways and point it towards him.

Adkins: Not really.

Valor tries to reason with him.

Original: See! There! Now remember.... You're Either Syndicated or You're on Public Access!

The camera goes back to ringside.

----------------

Pike "The Preacher" Lorenzo makes his way down the aisle for the following match. Before Marcus Andrews makes his way out, Lorenzo grabs the microphone. The crowd continues to pour heat on Lorenzo who doesn't seem too concerned about that.

Lorenzo: Many of you seem to be throwing question marks up in the air as to why I attacked the so called Detroit SOB Hayden Truesdale earlier tonight. While people question that, they don't seem to mind that I did it. Nobody in the back took me aside and slapped my wrist, nobody scolded me over it. Of course they didn't because Hayden is a Lucente Guy and as we all know, Lucente Guys are spoiled little brats. So I put Hayden in his place. I reminded him that no matter how spoiled he may be, he's not a very good wrestler. He's not a very good human being at all.

Lorenzo shakes his head agreeing with himself on that.

Lorenzo: At XtremeMania if there was any doubters out as to what Pike Lorenzo can do, they were all put to rest. Just like Chris Falkenyork was put to rest. Falkenyork I never doubted your ability and I knew that you were the perfect person to face if I were to continue my path here in the XWF. You were the sacrificial lamb. The entire time you wanted to place the label of Lucente Guy on the Preacher which is absurd in itself. I proved you wrong. Now I'm going to make everyone who thought the same way look just as foolish as you did. That's why I did what I did to Hayden. That's why it seems all too right that the biggest Lucente Guy of them all is the one who holds the title that rightfully belongs to me. Blaze Rodriguez. Blaze, I know you're not here tonight, but I know you are watching. Take a look at what I do to Marcus Andrews tonight and realize that his fate is going to be the same fate you face. Don't hate me because it's the truth. I am a man of truth because that's who I am, and that's who I care about.

Lorenzo drops the microphone as Marcus "The Wolf" Andrews makes his way out next.

----------------

Pike "The Preacher" Lorenzo vs Marcus "The Wolf" Andrews - Chairs Match

Marcus Andrews makes his way out with a chair as he starts to fire up the crowd. The fans boo as Pike confidently nods and the announcers point out Pike defeated Chris Falkenyork at Xtreme Mania just like he told everyone he would.

The bell rings and Andrews immediately swings the chair at Pike. Pike avoids it and immediately drop kicks Andrews which causes him to drop the chair. Pike follows up with big rights and lefts before driving Andrews into the turnbuckle. Pike whips him chest first into the opposite turnbuckle and Andrews bounces off. Pike charges at Andrews who manages to avoid at the last second and immediately hits a swinging DDT on Pike.

Marcus Andrews pins Pike 1…2… kickout. Andrews wastes no time getting to his feet and he proceeds to stomp down on Pike. Pike gets to his feet and Andrews delivers a big right sending Pike against the turnbuckle. Andrews kicks Pike repeatedly before dropping him down in a sitting position. Andrews sizes Pike up and drives a big boot to the jaw which make the fans come alive.

Pike is in big trouble as Andrews goes over and picks up the chair he dropped earlier. He raises it up high in the air and the fans cheer before he drives the end of the steel chair into Pike’s midsection. He does so again before swinging down on Pike. Pike rolls out of the way as Andrews continues swinging trying desperately to hit him. Pike rolls all the way to the outside as the fans boo him heavily.

Andrews calls for Pike to re-enter the ring but Pike grabs him by the feet and pulls him to the outside before whipping Andrews right into the barricade. He grabs Andrews and tosses him back into the ring before getting back in and grab the chair. He swings and its Andrews right on the back as the fans boo.

Pike positions the chair on the mat and picks up Andrews by the hair. Out of nowhere, Andrew fires the superkick. Pike ducks and grabs the chair off the ground as Andrews spins around. Pike clobbers Andrews with the chair as Andrews shakes off the pain. Andrews asks for another one as Pike nails him again. Still no effect on Andrews as the crowd is going nuts. Lorenzo clobbers him one more time and that shot staggers Andrews. Lorenzo grabs a hold of Andrews and drops him with The Holy Grail (skull crushing finale) on the chair! Pike hooks the leg 1… 2…. 3!

Winner by Pinfall: Pike "The Preacher" Lorenzo

----------------

After Lorenzo exits the ring, the lights go completely out. The announcers are questioning what is going on as Andrews was still in the ring. The lights go back on as the Dark Stranger is inside the squared circle with Andrews! Andrews looks up before scooting backwards on his ass. Stranger just tilts his head to the side with a smile on his face. Lady Gaga is on the outside as the crowd is confused as to what's going on. Andrews grabs a microphone from the announcer as he continues to look up at Stranger.

Andrews: What, you here to take my soul or something? Well you can forget about it!

Stranger just laughs to himself with shaking his head. Stranger grabs the microphone away from Andrews as the crowd cheers on.

Stranger: No, I'm not here to take your soul. I would've done that by now if I were going to, ha ha. No Marcus, that's not it. Over the last few months I've noticed something with you. You had a cage match with Mastro. He beat the crap out of you, and you enjoyed it. At XtremeMania, I was beating the hell out of you, and you enjoyed it. Yeah you might have defeated me but that's not the point. Just now? You took some real sick chair shots from the Preacher, and you enjoyed it.

Andrews raises an eyebrow not sure what Stranger is trying to say.

Stranger: I'm not going to take your soul Marcus because..You're just as DARK and STRANGE as I am! I think that you and I could make a good team. A team that could finally take the belts off Syndicate. What do you say?

Andrews grabs the microphone from Stranger as the crowd is chanting for both guys. Andrews reaches over and grabs his bottle of blood before taking a sip from it.

Andrews: I'll think about it.

Andrews drops the microphone and rolls out of the ring. Lady Gaga slides into the ring as her and Stranger look on at Andrews who is walking down the aisle.

----------------

Pike Lorenzo is walking backstage towards the exit before he gets cut off by Hayden Truesdale! The crowd is popping as Hayden tries to get right hand shots in on the Preacher.

Hayden: You like getting attacked? Feels great doesn't it?

Lorenzo starts hitting rights of his own as the two start wrestling around on the concrete floor. Referees fly down towards both men to break things up as the camera cuts back to ringside for our next match.

Lars Douglas is backstage in his makeshift office talking to somebody.

Douglas: You got it all. You're the one we've been looking for. No one, and I mean NO ONE will be able to stand up..to Ze Ro. So what do you say? You want to be part of the team?

Zero: Sure, Mr. Douglas. I've always wanted to take my talents some place important. And right here..feels like it could be Ground Zero.

Douglas: Well then, welcome to the XWF!

Douglas shakes his hand with a new superstar, going by the name Zero. The camera pans back as the crowd pops huge. Crazy Kanook is standing behind the newcomer Zero. Zero turns around and bumps Kanook by accident before taking a step back and walking off. Kanook appears to be hobbling on one leg.

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

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

Douglas: Look Kanook I know it was unfortunate. 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. Regardless, that bastard didn't get the job done and tonight? Rage, once again, is going to have an ass whooping to look forward to.

Kanook turns around and hobbles out of the office as Lars looks a bit concerned.

----------------

We cut to some more prerecorded footage. It's late at night and we're back to that same pool party.

Keg: What's a party, without a Kegstand?

A couple guys try to lift their friend up to drink, upside down, on top of the keg. We pan to three gentleman and a few ladies watching this small TV screen in the backyard.

Kid: Here it is!

One of the kids points at the TV screen and someone appears to be wrestling. Clip of KEG doing the Brainbuster in a wrestling match. Cut to KEG, standing by the pool and he lowers his sunglasses.

Keg: Yeah!

Keg flashes a smile as his right front tooth twinkles.
