The lights go out in the arena, before an old man‘s voice is heard. “War. A battle between two forces trying to settle who is superior. A fight for honor, respect, and prestige. For a soldier, you fight not for your own selfish reasons, but at the behest of a nation. When the fight is over, you go back to nothing and become a forgotten hero. A man with no purpose, with no reason. Why would he continue to fight? When there’s nothing left to prove…..one soldier keeps fighting.” The beginning riffs of “The Soldier’s Song” start, and red, white, and blue lights flash quickly in succession. A spotlight travels throughout the darkness and highlights the crowd before turning off. An explosion is seen and smoke fills the entranceway and the singing starts. The spotlight comes back on Will Washington as he makes his way through the smoke wearing an Army Strong T-Shirt, and dog tags while carrying a tattered American flag. He stops and looks around while he is introduced. “From Cambridge, Massachusetts…..Weighing in at two hundred and thirty-two pounds….. ‘The Patriotic Punisher‘……Will Washington!” Will raises his American flag, before draping it over his shoulders and walking down the ramp. He ascends the ringside steps and lays the flag across the top turnbuckle, before entering between the ropes. He goes to the corner and stands on the second turnbuckle. He takes off his shirt and throws it into the crowd, before picking up the flag and raising it once again. He jumps down and walks over, handing his dog tags and flag to the official before going to another corner and throwing punches, waiting for the match to begin.

Eric Hardy: “Will Washington, ladies and gentleman. God he’s intense.”

Kelly Knite: “Here’s hoping he beats that homosexual Xavier Cross.”

Eric Hardy: “This all started because of one woman’s plan to get her husband back.”

Kelly Knite: “What a hooker.”

Eric Hardy: “Indeed.”

Washington is standing in the middle of the ring, waiting for Xavier to come out, “You’re going down” hit’s the audio system, but after a few moments no one comes out. The big screen then opens to the parking lot where we see Xavier holding a crow bar, blood on his hands. He turns and laughs.

Xavier Cross: “Will…guess what I found in the parking lot….”

The screen pans down to Will’s protégé, Kingman. Who is laying motionless in a bloody mess. We hear Xavier start laughing as the screen goes black and Washington charges out of the ring, and up the ramp. The camera follows him as he eventually makes his way out into the parking lot. He sees Kingman and runs to him, trying to revive him.

Eric Hardy: “Cross! That son of a bitch has brought an innocent man into this match!”

Kelly Knite: “No way, there isn’t any innocent men in a street fight, protégé is a direction connection to Will, and look its worked Will is going after him.

Will Washington: “We need a medic!”

Before Will can’t say anything else, Cross comes out of no where diving at Washington. The two start rolling around, Cross gets the advantage getting on top of Washington as he starts reigning down rights, putting his left hand on Williams throat trying to choke him as well. Washington is getting beat in the face, and is starting to look faint. Washington takes one more shot before using his strength pushing Xavier off him, he then grabs the crowbar Cross used to assault Kingman, returning to his feet he swings the crowbar at the ground, Xavier barely rolls out of the way, the crowbar actually gets stuck in the cement floor. Returning to his feet, the two men circle each other like dogs.

Will Washington: “You smug son of a bitch, I’ll kill you…”

Xavier Cross: “I’ll break your d*** neck…”

The two men decide enough talking, charging each other once more, this time Will gets the advantage stopping, and hitting a huge spin buster on Cross, slamming his body on the cement floor, knocking the wind out of Xavier with a sickening impact. Washington starts forearm smashing Cross in the face. Xavier is now looking dazed after meeting the contact of forearm and then the back of his head against the ground. He manages to grab Will’s arm and use his strength to roll Washington off of himself.

Eric Hardy: “Did you hear the sound Xavier’s body made?!”

Kelly Knite: “Look there are no holds bar in this match, you’re going to hear a lot of sick impacts so I suggest you get ready for it.”

Cross puts distance between himself and Will, leaning against a car. Washington picks the crowbar up again, and then charges at Cross. Striking at Cross, Xavier manages to barely get out of the way as the crowbar smashes through the window, the car alarm goes off immediately, which stuns Will. Cross takes advantage of this, striking Will in the back of the head, then throwing him face first into the back passenger side window, cracking the tinted window. Washington staggers back a bit, and Cross throws Will across the trunk laying him out. Stepping back, Cross runs and strikes Will’s throat with a forearm. Cross quickly climbs on top of the hood, aiming to hit a standing moonsault, but Washington rolls of the car, and Xavier’s knees go crashing through the back window.

Washington quickly returns to his feet, wrapping his arm around Xavier locking in a guillotine choke, then jumping on the back bumper of the car uses his falling momentum to hit an variation of a DDT, driving Cross’s face into the ground. Blood starts to run out, as a gash has been opened up on Xavier Cross’s forehead. Washington goes to get the crowbar, but sees something better when his arm emerges from the car he is holding a chain. Wrapping it around his fist he turns Xavier over who seems to be dazed, laying down a right and a left, Xavier’s face quickly becomes covered in blood. Washington grins picks Xavier up by his T-shirt. Wrapping the chain around his neck he begins to choke and drag Cross out of the parking lot and outside. Pulling the chain tightly, then turning his hip, uses the chain to throw Xavier, who hit’s the sidewalk and rolls. He hit’s a trashcan that is on fire, as a bunch of homeless people look down in shock. Soon after they start yelling, fans that are outside the arena come swarming over.

Kelly Knite: “We got ourselves a good old fashion street fight.”

Eric Hardy: “This reminds me of that never back down movie.”

Kelly Knite: “Don’t expect anyone to back down from this match.”

Cross slowly stands up, the fire lighting up the blood across of his face. William makes his way into the circle of people, dropping the chain he raises his hands taking a boxing stance. Cross pulls his T-shirt off using it to wipe the blood out of his face. Xavier then too takes a fighting stance as they start circling each other. Washington strikes first with a hard right hitting Xavier above the brow, causing him to stagger back. Xavier shakes it off and feints a kick, then comes across with a hard left to Washington’s jaw. Washington staggers and Cross quickly grabs the chain, then whips Washington across the back who lets out a scream of agony.

Cross quickly wraps the chain around his neck, turning around he bends over using the leverage to choke Washington. Washington starts flailing his arms around, then regains composure despite being choked and starts elbowing Cross in the side of the head, until he released the chain, Washington drops to the ground clutching his neck, as Xavier rolls to the side holding his head. Cross quickly gets to his feet, holding his head as he backs into the group of people who push him forward, Washington quickly shoots himself into the air catching Xavier under the chin with an uppercut, Cross is lifted off the air a bit as he falls backwards, Washington comes charging but Cross has enough awareness to put his foot up, catching Washington in the stomach, and pushing him backwards. Washington trips, and turns 180 degrees, grabbing onto the barrel, but as the barrel has fire in it, he burns his hands on the siding. Quickly letting go, Washington falls down, catching his breath and shaking the burning feeling from his hands, as Cross holds his jaw, the camera pans in showing blood running from his mouth.

Eric Hardy: “Cross is bleeding and Washington has burnt his hands. This match is pulling all the stops out…”

Kelly Knite-Fox: “It seems these two are wandering out of our range, we’ll be able to keep visual, but I don’t know if they’ll hear our audio…”

Eric Hardy: “Damn…I was just about to say that I am

----static-----”

Both men return to their feet, Cross swings but Washington ducks and charges his in the midsection picking him up, moving through the group of men. In the middle of the street, a car blares its horn and comes to a screeching halt as Washington slams Cross, across the hood of a Taxi Cab. The driver gets out, and Will looks over, the man starts yelling at him in a foreign tongue, Washington gets in his face, and the man starts backing up, Washington follows him as the two keep yelling at each other. Cross slowly picks himself up off the hood, and quickly pries it open, he ducks down waiting for Washington chase the man off, and come around the other side of the car. Washington walks over and Xavier quickly connects with an upper cut, dazing Will, Cross quickly clothesline’s Washington to the ground, and then drags Washington over to the car, laying him across the battery, Xavier Cross leaps up grabbing the hood and slams it down across Washington’s back. Quickly, Cross makes his way to the drivers side, and pulls himself on the roof, taking a step off he jumps onto the hood, putting pressure on Washington. Then leaping up and down multiple times, then finally hops on the ground, Washington quickly pulls the hood off his back and staggers up the street.

Cross isn’t far behind, hitting Washington across the back with a clubbing forearm strike, Washington stumbles forward but turns around and cracks Xavier across the face with a solid left hook. Cross turns away holding his face as Washington makes his way into the front of the arena. The fans who are inside quickly gather around the doors. Cross sees Will resting against the glass door, without warning Cross runs and spears Will right through the class door, shards of glass explode as both men hit the floor, cuts start bleeding on Xavier’s shoulder, and Will’s back as they lay their motionless for a moment. Xavier stirs first, standing up, but Will seems to get a rush from the pain and quickly grabs a larger glass shard, putting his knee on Xavier’s chest, he holds the shard to Cross’s throat.

Will Washington: “Give me a reason! Motherf***er…tap!”

Cross struggles but can’t seem to lift Washington off of him, who is pressing the shard close to Xavier’s throat. Washington looks like he is about to slash Xavier’s throat, but Cross manages to muster some sort of ‘life saving’ strength, and pushes Will into the air, and into the second door that is keeping the fans away, Washington’s head bounces off the glass, which leaves a crack, as the glass begins to break, Washington drops the shard, and clutches his head which is now slowly leaking blood.

Xavier quickly stands up, holding his throat, checking to see if there is no blood. His face is covered in dry blood, the cuts on his head seemed to clot. Xavier quickly goes back on the offensive, stomping Will head with his boot, then quickly opens the door, grabbing Will’s hand and putting it in between the door and the fixture, then slamming the door across Will’s forearm. Xavier quickly takes a step back, and then does a baseball slide across the floor, his feet kicking the door and slamming Will’s arm between a rock and a hard place.

Cross quickly stands up, opening the door, but Washington uses his wounded arm, and gets a quick low blow in, dropping Xavier to his knees. Washington quickly gets up, and hit’s a running knee to the face of Xavier, as he falls back laid out. Washington clears the crowd and notices the retail stands, walking over he picks up a Joe Everyman bobble head, as Xavier slowly crawls in his direction, smirking.

Will Washington: “29.99.…I bet a bunch of people’s wallets no show…”

Washington brings the base of the bobble head down on the back of Xavier’s head, breaking the toy, and leveling Xavier on the ground. Washington picks up the shards of the bobble head, and throws it over his shoulder. Lifting Xavier up, Washington hits him in the face twice, then sets him up in a suplex, moving himself to get a perfect angle Washington, does a snap variation putting Xavier through the same retail stand. Cross goes crashing and burning through the table, bringing the items down on top of him.

Leaning down, Washington picks up a shirt, looking at it he shrugs, it’s a Lance Ryan shirt.

Will Washignton: “Hmm…only 19.99 you can own a piece of the icon…classy…”

Washington drops the shirt, before picking up a Falcon t-shirt, and then nods his head, wiping the blood off his face with the shirt. Then rolls it up, and wraps it around Xavier’s neck, putting a boot to his back then wrenching the choke hold. Xavier flutters around trying to regain his break, gripping the shirt with his hand trying to pull it away Cross starts losing more and more oxygen. In a desperate attempt he quickly raises his leg catching Will between the legs, who stumbles back clutching his groined. Xavier quickly pulls the shirt out from around his neck, taking a deep breath. Lifting himself off the wreckage, he grabs the a folding chair that was leaned in the back of the broken stand, bringing it down on Washington who is still clutching his junk. Cross brings the chair down again, across the body of Will Washington before dropping it making his way looking for something else to hit him with.

Washington slowly picks himself up, going to another stand finding a n.C.w world championship belt, looking at he, he nods his head and gives a forced smile. Sneaking behind Xavier, who is still looking for something, Washington connects with a running shot with the title to the back of the head of Xavier who stumbles forward into some of the set up equipment for the show. Lifting Cross up, raining a straight right fist into the top of his head, he sets Xavier into a tiger bomb position, lifting him up into the air then putting Xavier back first onto one of the back up sound boards. Cross is sprawled out across the equipment, motionless.

Washington grabs Xavier by the throat, pulling him off the soundboard, Cross’s legs seem to be jello, the only thing holding him up is Will. Washington pulls down the hallway by the throat, Xavier leans on his shoulder throwing a faint right arm that doesn’t reach Washington. Washington smirks, as he takes a few quick steps and then goes to throw Xavier through one of the office wooden doors, but Cross manages to catch some sort of strength as he stops himself, and immediately uses what he has left in the tank to hit Washington with a Pele’ kick. Washington catches the foot right in the side of the head, falling backwards as Cross tries to stand up but falls against the door. Leaning onto it, he opens it, we are now in the current office of Mike Kane. Before Xavier falls he speaks.

Xavier Cross: “The design in here is….extremely….boring….”

Cross then falls over with a smirk on his face, looking over his shoulder seeing Will slowly pulling himself up. Cross with a last ditch effort jumps to his feet, and grabs the door. Right as Will is in the doorway, Cross slams it shut, a thud is heard from the hard oak contacting with face. Xavier leans against the wall slowly reaching out opening the door. Washington isn’t laying on the ground, so Xavier leans his head out the door frame, and then catches a Singaport cane to the face, knocking his backwards into the office, laying on desk, Will charges Xavier with the cane, but Cross rolls off quickly and hits an high kick to the side of Washington’s head causing him to stumble into the wall causing various pictures to fall down the wall and break. Cross steps back, then runs, jumps on the desk and then hits Will with a missile drop kick. Picking himself up, Xavier looks at the damage. Something across the room catches his attention, a oversized framed picture of Brad Kane adores a wall by itself. Xavier shakes his head, pulling it off the wall. Washington is slowly picking himself up when Xavier smashes the picture over his head, Washington is only slightly dazed. The camera pans around to show Washington’s face through the picture’s face.

Xavier Cross: “Oh don’t you look quite emo…”

Running at Will, Xavier nails a huge shining wizard, as Will falls backwards, Cross leans down pulling the picture off Will and throwing it across the room Xavier lifts Will to his feet, dragging him over to the desk. Leaning down, Cross lifts Will up and then power slams him on the desk, crashing through the center and onto the floor, Xavier falls backwards into the wall. Reaching down, Xavier grabs Will by the leg pulling him out of the room, shutting the light and door off behind him.

As Xavier continues to pull Washington down the hallway, until Washington kicks Cross’s arms away, then as Xavier attempts to reach for again, Will puts a boot into the face of Xavier. Cross stumbles back, falling on the ground, Will quickly returns to his feet grabbing a metal briefcase containing various stage equipment. Lifting it over his head, he slams it down across Xavier’s back, who lets out a loud yell. Washington laughs as he throws the case down, and then makes his way down the hall. Opening a door, Will looks in and flips a switch, we see him nod as Xavier crawls back to his feet. Cross attempts a clothesline but Will ducks, and hits three quick jabs to the stomach of Xavier, pushing him backwards down the hallway, and then shoves him through the doorway.

Cross stumbles before cashing into a trash can, falling on the ground dazed. Washington grins grabbing a metal pipe and then brings it across Xavier’s side, hitting mostly arm. Will brings it up for a second shot, and connects with Xavier’s back leaving a long red mark. Throwing the bar away, Will finds something else to his delight, a large brown sack. Looking inside, a sadistic grin finds Will’s lips as Xavier slowly lifts himself up, favoring the arm Will struck with the bar, just as he returns to his feet, Will catches him in the face with the sack, it explodes and tacks find not only Xavier’s face but all over the ground. Cross reaches for his face stumbling back into a fence used to guard the boiler. Washington watches his step, as he leaps over the tacks and throws Xavier face first into the same fencing. Washington pulls Xavier’s head back, throwing him into the fence, bouncing off the metal, Xavier goes forward cracking his head on some piping, as he staggers back, Will hit’s a super kick to the back of Xavier’s head sending him flying forward, landing face and body first into the pile of tacks.

Washington grins as he walks over the Xavier’s back, stepping on it, and then lifting himself up on his toes, then jumps into the area, landing on Xavier’s back with both feet. Stepping off, Will leans in the door way looking down the hallway. Cross tries to get to his feet, but stumbles, quickly moving his hand across his body trying to get all the tacks off, Washington turns around shaking his head, looking aggravated. Reaching down he grabs Xavier by the back of the head, throwing him into the hallway and into a ladder laying against the wall. Cross hits it and stumbles to the side, Will follows him. Grabbing the ladder, Will puts his arm through it positioning it like a battering ram. Waiting for Cross, to stop, Will suddenly charges like a bull, but Xavier ducks and rolls away, Washington doesn’t stop, out of a small janitor closet, Jimmy Turner slowly walks out yawning, and is caught off guard by the top of the ladder bouncing off his skull. Washington drops the ladder on top of him looking surprise, Xavier picks himself up laughing.

Xavier Cross: “Congrats G.I. Joe you killed the janitor.”

Will Washington: “F*** You!”

The two men charge each other, but Xavier gets the upper hand ducking and spearing Washington, lifting him up the two men go crashing through a wooden door and roll away from each other as they crashed into the public locker room, though it seems to be empty. A black pleather sofa, various bags of equipment, and a television adore the room. Xavier rolls towards the couch, using it to lift himself up. Washington picks himself up on his own and charges Xavier who jumps into the air, and looks to hit a hurricanrana, but Washington counters it and hit’s a power bomb on Xavier into the couch, the sound of wood cracking under Xavier’s back, and a slight groan of pain from the contact. But Washington doesn’t release, and goes to hit a second power bomb, but as Xavier goes up, he strikes Washington in the face multiple times. Then Cross finally hit’s the hurricanrana, sending Washington stumbling forward into the television, the crash into the television seems to have triggered the power, it flips onto ’Heroes‘.

Xavier Cross: “Really?!….I f***ing hate this show…”

Cross stands up quickly, but Washington manages to get his hands on the X-Box 360 laying on the ground, as Cross stands over Washington, but Will comes up swinging with the video game console, crashing across the side of the head of Xavier breaking in Washington’s hands. Cross stumbles into the television knocking it over, as it gives a small glass shattering noise, before turning off. Washington throws the broken console down. Washington reaches down and finds the cords in the back of the TV, unplugging them he wraps it around his knuckles and approaches the dazed Xavier. Wrapping the cords around his neck, Washington pulls Xavier up choking him. Xavier swings his arms around wildly, as he pushes backwards, slamming Washington into the wall, the back of his head breaking the dry wall. Will wrenches back on the cords, and then slings Xavier around putting him shoulder deep through the dry wall before letting go of the cords. Stepping back, Washington delivers a vicious kick to the ribs of Xavier Cross who stumbles backwards out of the wall.

Xavier quickly gets to his feet, stumbling out of the locker room, Washington focused, follows him Cross runs to a push door, the sound of the fans behind it. Washington decides to charge, Xavier steps up and hit’s a drop toe hold as Washington’s face connects with the handle to the door pushing it open as the fans turn around, both men had wrestled their way to the top of the arena. Xavier gets up holding this throat, a visible red line from the cord laid as a reminder. Walking over Cross slaps Will across the head, then the face Washington rolls away, getting closer and closer to the steps. Smirking, Xavier runs back to the doors, then sprints forward sliding on the floor, hitting a baseball sliding drop kick to the back of Washington, who starts rolling down the hard, concrete steps.

Eric Hardy: “They’re back in the arena and so are we.”

Kelly Knite: “They fought all over the arena, and we didn’t have to talk about it.”

Eric Hardy: “It was an easy job. Like being the bosses’ daughter.”

Sitting on the rail, Xavier slides down after him, as Washington stops hitting the railing, after rolling halfway down the arena. Hopping off the railing, Xavier walks over to Washington, who reaches up and strikes Xavier once in the midsection, then again as Will stands to his feet striking Xavier in the face, but Xavier counts with a shot of his own. The two fight between an area between seats, the security holds the fans back as the two men exchange fists. Soon Xavier backs up against the rail, the two men have fought over to the railing. Will ducks a strike and slams Xavier’s head onto the railing, before sending a quick kick to the midsection.

Lifting Cross up into a razor’s edge variation of the power bomb, it looks like first Will is about to slam Xavier on some steps, but instead he throws Cross over the railing, falling a long way before crashing through a table onto the floor below, Xavier Cross is laid out, through the rubble of table and various items. Washington leans over the railing watching the destruction with a sadistic smile, he leans down gripping the bar before jumping onto the railing holding his arms up, the crowd pops as Washington launches himself off the railing falling the same distance nailing a huge senton splash onto Xavier’s body. Both men are laid out completely on the floor.

Crowd: “Holy s***! Holy s***! Holy s***!”

EMTs and refs run quickly over the both men, checking Xavier, and then William Washington. The EMTs help Will to his feet, he pushes them away as he catches his second wind. Xavier on the other hand is not as lucky, as a stretcher is pulled out, he is loaded onto it. They begin to wheel Xavier off, Washington starts arguing with the refs as he pushes through. Xavier leans up to see Washington running at him, quickly rolling off the stretcher Xavier returns to his feet and slides the stretching into Washington’s knees knocking him over. Cross quickly moves to Washington and throws him on the stretcher. The two men are now at the top of the ramp as Cross gets a quickly start and pushes the stretcher down the ramp, as it coasts down flipping on its side rolling Washington into the steel ring steps. Cross falls backwards laughing, catching his breath but it doesn’t last for long as a bandaged black male runs out from the back and connects with a kick to Xavier’s back. Xavier leans forward in pain as Will’s protégé, Rocky Kingman, the same man Xavier attacked at the beginning of the match has returned.

Eric Hardy: “Cross goes crashing but manages to find some energy, and Washington takes a spill on the stretcher…Jesus this is extreme…”

Kelly Knite: “You see why no man is innocent now?”

Picking Xavier up, Kingman hit’s a series of right legs to Xavier’s knee, before aiming a high left kick, but Xavier ducks it and quickly locks in a standing cradle, and then turning it into a suplex variation slamming Kingman to the steel ground of the ramp. Cross slowly pulls himself up as the fans boo him, shaking his head he looks as Washington who has disappeared from the stretcher. Cross makes his way down to the ring, sliding into it holding his arm up in victory. But behind him, we see Washington appear from under the ring holding a trashcan. Quickly sliding it into the ring, Washington also pulls a bat he has removed from the trashcan sliding into the ring Cross is still obviously.

Washington quickly drops slamming the back into Xavier’s knee who buckles forward, clutching his knee as he rolls on the mat. Washington quickly stands up, he reaches into the trash can pulling out a roll of barb wire, he slides it onto the bat and holds it up getting a reaction from the crowd. Xavier reaches up pulling himself up with the turnbuckle, Washington takes a huge swing catching Xavier in the back below the ribs pulling flesh from his back. Taking a second swing, he hits Xavier in the shoulder with barb wire, taking another vicious chunk out of Xavier. Washington gets into a David Ortiz baseball stance and takes another huge swing, but out of desperation Xavier rolls out of the way, the bat catches the turnbuckle getting stuck.

Will struggles to get the bat out, as the barb ware begins ripping the stuffing and pad off. Cross runs and hit’s a quick drop kick sending Will face first into turnbuckle and barb wire bat. Falling backwards, Xavier quickly grabs the trashcan, running at the ropes he springboards off and places the trashcan under his leg in midair crashing onto Washington’s body.

Both men roll out of the ring on opposite sides, Xavier is still favoring his knee, and Will is nursing his head. Reaching under the ring, Xavier pulls out a ladder, he quickly slides it into the ring, while Washington reaches under and pulls out a table wrapped in razor wire. Quickly setting the table up Washington reaches under the ring once again pulling out a tool box, quickly sliding into the ring, Xavier drops the ring as he sees Washington with the tool box. The two have a stare down, as Washington quickly runs at Xavier swinging the tool box, Xavier ducks as the tool box hit’s the ring ropes and explodes, sending multiple small tools over the ring, Washington picks up a hammer, and Cross picks up a screw driver.

Eric Hardy: “This is gonna get ugly.”

Kelly Knite: “This is Bob Vila’s wet dream.”

Both men circle each other, Washington grips the weapon between his knuckles, Xavier drops the screw driver quickly locking up with Washington, wrenching the arm Xavier forces Washington into the corner, hitting a quick shoulder strike Xavier thinks Washington dropped he hammer, but Washington brings the hammer down across the Xavier’s back, and then hit’s a quick shot to the back of Xavier’s head with the hammer. Cross drops to the ground on his knees Will grabs Xavier’s head pulling his head back, scraping Xavier’s forehead with the opposite side of the hammer. Xavier yells in agony as the flesh is scraped from his forehead, he quickly elbows Will in the groin quickly diving out of the way as fresh blood starts rolling down Xavier’s face. Washington doesn’t lose momentum, shrugging off the dirty move by Xavier, he picks the screwdriver up and hit’s a quick kick to Xavier’s side then diving onto Cross pushing the screw driver into the forehead wounds of Xavier, who screams in agony. A female voice yells out from the side of the ring, Cari Cross has jumped the barrier.

Cari Cross: “Will! Stop it! Just stop it!”

Washington drops the screw driver as he moves to the ring ropes, as he starts shouting at Cari. Xavier quickly picks himself up, staggering he tries to wipe the blood running down his face. Cross dives forward into Washington’s back as the two tumble out of the ring and through the razor wire table Will had set up earlier, Cari backs up from the two who had crashed through, tears rolling down her face.

Xavier is the first one to stir, pulling the razor fire from his upper shoulder, he notices his wife there. Cross turns away ignoring her, looking down at Washington, lifting his opponent up. Xavier gets Washington back to his feet whipping him into the Spanish announce table. Striking across Will chest with a slap, Xavier hit’s a quick elbow, then slides Will across the table. Cross reaches into the table pulling a small TV monitor bringing it down on Washington’s head. Cari quickly runs grabbing Xavier’s hand.

Cari Cross: “Stop it! You don’t have anything else to prove! Please, stop…”

Xavier pulls her arm away from Cari, she quickly backs up crying before security pulls her away. Xavier quickly pulls himself up onto the table. Looking into the crowd something catches his eye, as he jumps off the table he grabs a man’s leg quickly pulling it off, we see that it was a prosthetic. Xavier hops over the barrier with the man’s leg as he quickly hits Will across the throat with the plastic fake leg.

Eric Hardy: “Zach Gowen?”

Kelly Knite: “Kevin Nash?”

Standing up he throws the leg into the crowd away from the man who it belonged to. Xavier lifts William up who throws a right, but Xavier ducks clutching him from behind, and throws him from the Spanish announce table to the n.C.w announce table with a release german suplex. Cross quickly hops off the table and climbs up the apron. Ascending the turnbuckle Xavier leaps into the air hitting a shooting star press onto William Washington and through the announce table, sending Kelly Knite, and Eric Hardy out of the way.

Cross holds his midsection quickly getting up leaning on the ropes, stumbling over he grabs Will by the foot, but Will manages to find some energy kicking Xavier away as he slowly returns to his feet, exploding upwards with a clothesline turning Xavier Cross inside out. Both men laid sprawled out on the outside of the ring, Washington stirs first grabbing onto the steps pulling himself up with the steel steps he slides into the ring, finding the ladder to his liking he sets it up into the corner. Cross stirs a bit as he too slides into the ring, but is met with a boot by Will. Stomping away at his opponent, Will decides to pick Xavier up whipping him into the ladder, Cross’s arm goes through one of the rings as he crashes into the metal.

Washington quickly runs at Xavier slamming him into the metal ladder again, Xavier falls down as Washington pushes the ladder out of the corner letting it land on Xavier. Quickly ascending the top, Will launches himself off attempting a moonsault leg drop, but Cross the ladder up and rolls out of the way as Washington crashes and burns.

Xavier quickly gets to his feet, seeing Washington is out, he quickly sets the ladder up, then starts to climb up, rung by rung until he reaches the top. Leaning his head down, taking a deep breath Cross looks to make a leap, but Washington does a kip up and climbs up the ladder. The two exchange fists at the top, neither one getting the advantage.

Xavier swings an elbow hitting Washington in the nose, which stuns him with just enough time for Xavier to take advantage. Grabbing both of Washington’s arm’s he twists Washington into the double underhook inverted, then jumping forward Xavier nails the Crossifixion. The ring gives way under the crash as both men disappear out of sight inside the giant hole.

After a few minutes, a camera climbs into the ring, a single arm appears out of the giant hole, where the men crashed through. Pulling his bloody, beaten body out of the crater they both had created. Xavier lifts himself to his feet, as Washington lays motionless in the hole. Xavier drags Will out by his arm and crawls on top. 1.…2.….3!

Amber Ashe: “Here is your winner….and the new number one contender….Xavier Cross!”

EMTs quickly rush to the ring, checking on Washington and quickly getting him out of the hole and onto a stretcher as Cross leans on the turnbuckle as the fans get out of their seat and give the two men a standing ovation.

Eric Hardy: “Cross did it. Somehow he managed to beat Will Washington.”

Kelly Knite: “Those two nearly killed each other.”

Eric Hardy: “What is Cari doing?” Cari runs into the ring wrapping her arms around Xavier who looks a bit shocked but doesn’t have enough energy to fight it.

Kelly Knite: “She’s the reason those two were put through hell. Now she wants a hug?”

The n.C.w ring crew rushes to the ring, to fix the giant hole before the rest of the event continues, they also set up another table for the announce crew as we take a word from our sponser.

Eric Hardy: What a match we just saw Kelly! It's good to have our table back and the ring fixed though.

Kelly Knite: Cross and Washington almost tore this entire building down.

Eric Hardy:There is a lot of bad feelings between the two.

Kelly Knite: Well, up next should be a match that is very exciting and full of hard feelings aswell.

Eric Hardy: It's going to be interesting to see Blackheart and Freakke in this match, will their animosity between each other cost them both a chance at the Xtreme title?

Kelly Knite: I guess we'll have to see, since it's coming up right now!

Eric Hardy: Possibly even faster than that!
