Visual Advisory Seen Only By Viewers At Home Before The Show Begins To Air:
The following program contains mature subject matter and may not be suitable for some viewers.
The opening video for Monday Night War plays on the tron and the show is now live to air!
Kyle Johnson: Hello everyone and welcome to a very special edition of Monday Night War! Tonight is our Christmas Show and our last show of the year!
Jarrett Firewalker: And it seems we have a strange blonde haired woman out here with us. I’m sorry, but who are you again?
Breeze Jones: I’m Breeze Jones, the new commentator for the Monday Night War shows and the pay per view shows! I was hired on to replace Tyson Cooper who wasn’t able to stay with WXW due to family problems that he’s presently going through. So, here I am! And it’s great to be out here with the both of you and all of these fans!
Kyle Johnson: Well I must say Breeze that you are quite a sexy addition to our commentary team.
Breeze Jones: Aww, thanks Kyle!
Jarrett Firewalker: Okay then, since you’re gonna be out here from now on, you need to do some work and earn your paycheck.
Kyle Johnson: Jarrett!!
Jarrett Firewalker: Breeze… Tell all the people at home just what they’re in for tonight.
Breeze Jones: I can see you need to be taught some manners out here Jarrett. But sure, I’ll give everyone the rundown of tonight’s events. We have my longtime friend Candy going against Kelly Robinson in a Candy Cane Ladder Match and the only way to win is to be the first to retrieve the candy cane hanging above the ring. I can’t wait for that one! We’ll also be seeing Floyd McCarver taking on CTHD’s own Blake Thompson. Also in action tonight, we’ll see the debut of a wrestling veteran in TJ Codair as he goes one on one against the leader of CTHD, Jake Cruder. And finally, in the main event tonight, we’ll be seeing the one and only monster himself Corey Bull, facing off against Extreme Justice’s Romeo Youngblood in a Miracle On 34th Streetfight Match!
Kyle Johnson: That one is sure to get out of hand considering all the hostility between Corey and Extreme Justice and there’s no sign of it easing down anytime soon. We also have the women’s champion Leanna Slater here tonight to lay out her very own Mistletoe Challenge!
Jarrett Firewalker: Well ladies and gentlemen, it's that time… the time for Drake DeMarco to finally present his debuting client to the world.
Kyle Johnson: He's been promoting the debut of his client for a couple of weeks now and we get to finally see who it is!
Breeze Jones: I wonder if Drake's client is going to be as “malicious” as Drake is. If that's the case, WXW could be in a lot of trouble.
(Suddenly “Rebels in Kontrol” by KMFDM begins to play on the P.A system and a smirking Drake DeMarco wearing a black and red grunge unbuttoned suit makes his way through the white misty entrance ramp. Drake grins as he shows off his abs and gets into the Christmas spirit by yelling “HO HO HO!”. Drake gets welcomed with a few boos from the crowd as he walks down the ramp. He can be heard getting introduced by WXW ring announcer Jeremy Tucker.)
Jeremy Tucker: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time...Drake...DeMaaaaarrrrcoooooo!!!!
(Drake raises his hands in the air in glory as he hears his name, but the fans don't buy the hype. Drake slides in the ring showing off his athletic agility. Drake goes up onto a turnbuckle and spreads his arms apart in sexcellence which causes the crowd to react negatively. Drake coldy squints at the crowd before hopping off from the turnbuckle and walks up to the ring annnouncer. Drake snatches the microphone from Jeremy.)
Drake DeMarco: Go go go go go... now... shoo fly...
(Jeremy quickly leaves the ring making Drake's theme music stop and the arena lights go back on. Drake stands still in the middle of the ring and smiles.)
Drake DeMarco: Oh man...OH MAN...we are finally here. The time has arrived. I am super psyched. It's going to be a great Christmas for everyone because I'm giving everyone the gift that keeps on giving! That's right people. To show that I'm a nice guy, I'm pleased to announce that my client, the next WXW super sensation, is waiting in the back right now for my introduction! Oh yeah! This is going to be one Christmas everyone is going to remember forever!
(Drake nods.)
Drake DeMarco: See, this is the first time I’ve ever managed someone. I'm always used to bashing heads in and making my opponents cringe in mercy while they're drowning in a pool of their own blood. I thrive off of that. Now, I get to see my client do the exact same thing while I observe on coldly into my client's opponents' eyes as they shrivel up in fear. When I came to WXW, I made sure that when I asked my client if I could be their manager, it was someone I have known for many years. Someone that will crush ALL of the divisions here in WXW, someone that I can relate to... someone who I can consider... family... well... basically... literally, I am bringing in family into WXW.
Breeze Jones: Wait, what? Is Drake talking about who I think he is?
Jarrett Firewalker: You know what "family" Drake is bringing in?
Breeze Jones: I think so... I HOPE so!
Jarrett Firewalker: How the hell do you know before us? You're the new girl!
Drake DeMarco: People, the person I'm going to watch and guide to sheer greatness is a person who has stuck by me through thick and thin. A person who doesn't judge me for my dark actions or my sly remarks. A person who loves me. A person who respects what I've contributed into the wrestling industry and a person who is genuine and noble at heart, but carries the fierce spirit of a deadly predator to get what my client wants in success.... LADIES and GENTLEMEN, blood is definitely thicker than water... PLEASE... GIVE IT UP FOR THE ONE... AND ONLY... my cousin... The Greek-Australian Sensation... ALEXIS... MAKARIOS!!!!!
("I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy Osbourne echoes through the p.a system. Strobe lights start to flash as a spotlight shines into the entrance platform. Some smoke starts to fill the entrance platform and roll down the ramp. From behind the curtain comes the red headed Aussie. The crowd is fired up and so is she.)
Breeze Jones: IT'S ALEXIS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!
Kyle Johnson: You know her?
Breeze Jones: I sure do! She's one of my best friends from... well you know where. I can't believe she's here!
Jarrett Firewalker: Well if she didn't tell you she was coming here, she doesn't sound like that great of a friend if you ask me.
Breeze Jones: Well I didn't ask you, so shove it!
(The cameras focus in on Drake in the ring, who has one of the slyest grins on his face. Alexis makes her way down to the ring, the spotlight following her. She gets in the ring where Drake holds the ropes for her and hands her his mic. Once the crowd dies down, she raises the mic.)
Alexis Makarios: Thank you, thank you! MAN does it ever feel good to be in this ring, right here in Chicago! And you fans... man I feel at home already. But what am I doing here? Why did I leave the "comfort" of my "former employer" to start over here in a new place? It's simple. This man right here, is the best cousin a girl could ask for.
(She points over at Drake.)
Alexis Makarios: He called up and told me about this place. He was so excited to be getting back into the wrestling world again, and to explore the new option as a manager. And he was telling me all about it and that he was trying to find a good client to manage around here. The prospect of this place got me thinking. A new start. A new place where I could do whatever I wanted and not have past success or failures looming over me. A whole new place where there are no strings holding me back, and no glass ceiling for me to hit. A place where I can excel and not because my name is Russow, or because I am banging a Russow. A place where there are no Russows, Burnetts, or Phoenix's. And the thought of that gave me a chill down my spine I haven't felt in years. An excitement for this business that I was starting to think had died out. And I knew I had to come and see it for myself. So, I got in touch with Drake and the two of us decided this would be an awesome adventure. So he got me in touch with Cassie, who is an awesome person by the way. And we got some things signed, and now here I am!
(She looks out at the announce table and smiles huge.)
Alexis Makarios: BREEZE!!!! You awesome person you! I'm so glad to see you! Good to have pals in the back.
(Breeze waves at Alexis, who then goes back to what she was saying.)
Alexis Makarios: So, while I was waiting for my much awaited arrival and reveal, I've been doing my homework. I've seen some things that I don't like around here... namely, Darren Maddox. I've seen the videos and I've heard the comments he's said about my cousin. You take some one who is Australian, with Greek ancestry, and flaming red hair ... and you add in the horrid temper I tend to get when I'm really pissed off. That's just a bad combination for anyone who pisses me off. And you, Darren, have pissed me off. Sadly, me being a woman, there's really nothing I can do about it in this business... right?
(She pauses a moment as Drake whispers something in her ear and she grins wide.)
Alexis Makarios: WELL!!! That's good news! It seems that my manager has forgotten to inform me, he got something set in stone for me. Now, on January 12th, on the pay-per-view Back to Hell, I will be making my in-ring debut. It's already signed and sealed... a fully sanctioned match. I'll be teaming up with none other than the monster himself, Corey Bull! To take on the three man team of Extreme Justice… Darren Maddox, Dean Andry, and Romeo Youngblood... 2 on 3!
(The crowd goes crazy as she lowers her mic and grins. She waits for a moment before raising it again.)
Alexis Makarios: It's going to be fun. It's going to be bloody. And it's going to be a great chance for me and Corey to beat the shit out of them because we just don't like them. So tune in folks, January 12th, for the best debut you'll see in a long time!
(With that, she lowers her mic and the show goes to a commercial break.)
_________________________________________________________________
(The show returns and the camera is focused backstage on new WXW Diva Candy decorating the WXW Christmas tree. She is quietly singing Jingle Bells while she hangs candy canes on the tree. The camera focuses in on Floyd McCarver staring both at the tree and Candy as she bends down to pick up another ornament to put on the tree. He walks up slowly and gets behind her. She stands up straight, bumps into him, jumps and screams. Fluffy, who was sitting under the tree, let out a growl.)
Candy: I'm sorry! I didn't know anyone was behind me!
Floyd McCarver: Oh, I’m sorry Candy. I was just very interested in what you were doing. You’re doing a great job trimming the tree, and that outfit looks just great on you. Let me ask you something, you got any mistletoe around here, girl?
Candy: I think I have some in the box in the other room. It would look REALLY pretty over the tree wouldn't it? I bet my boyfriend, Marcus, would bring the box if I asked him to!
Floyd McCarver: Oh, you got a boyfriend? Well, where is he then? If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you out of my sight. So how about it, baby? You, me, a little mistletoe?
Candy: Uuuuuum... no thank you.
(Floyd grabs her arm, pulling her into his body. This causes Fluffy to bite at his ankles. Floyd kicks at Fluffy, and she runs off down the hallway.)
Floyd McCarver: You think you’re funny don’t you? Well, I don’t think it is, honey. Now I’m telling you how it’s going to be. You get your lips all puckered up, or I’m gonna forget you’re a woman and show you what you get for refusing a request from the man too dangerous to play on Sundays.
(Floyd closes his eyes and leans in. Just then, a man in a Santa’s suit walks into the scene and taps him on the shoulder.)
"Santa": Ho ho ho! What do you think you are doing to this poor, innocent woman?
Floyd McCarver: Get out of here, old man. I'm handling business.
"Santa": You've been very naughty. Did you just call Santa an old man? I'm not too old to take you over my knee. I know a bad boy who's going to be getting some coal in his stocking.
(Floyd let go of Candy and turned his focus on "Santa" with an odd look on his face.)
Floyd McCarver: You heard what I said, OLD MAN. I was just welcoming our newest, and hottest, Diva to the roster. You got a problem with that, fat man?
Candy: OOOOOOOH you just called Santa fat!
"Santa": I'm not fat, I'm jolly! HO HO HO!
Floyd McCarver: Well you better get out of here. I have some things to take care of.
"Santa": Well, I do agree with welcoming the lovely Candy to the roster. I do not agree with your method. So leave the girl alone, and we can forget this whole incident and pretend it didn't even happen, understood?
(It is then that Fluffy comes out of hiding from behind "Santa" and starts biting at Floyd's feet again, barking and growling at him. Floyd, increasingly annoyed with the small dog, kicks her and she goes skidding into the wall with a thud. Candy rushes over to her and "Santa" looks pissed off. While Floyd is focused on watching Candy and Fluffy, "Santa" grabs his sack of gifts and swings it, landing it right on Floyd's head! The impact sends Floyd flying back into the wall!)
"Santa": That's the last straw! I told you to leave her alone.
Floyd McCarver: What the hell was that?
"Santa": You just got whacked by Santa's sack.
("Santa" then puts his foot on Floyd's chest, keeping him down.)
Floyd McCarver: Who are you?
("Santa" then pulls off his beard to reveal he is Candy's boyfriend, Marcus Cage! He throws the beard on the ground.)
Marcus Cage: I'm Marcus Cage bitch! And you are about to get KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT if you don't leave my girlfriend alone!
(Marcus takes a step back and grabs the Santa Sack, preparing to swing again if needed. Floyd gets to his feet and takes a few steps back, holding the back of his head.)
Floyd McCarver: This ain't over. Not by a long shot!
(He walks out of the scene, looking pissed off. Candy runs over holding Fluffy.)
Candy: MARCUS! YOU'RE SANTA???
Marcus Cage: I am today. Are you okay?
Candy: Yeah, I'm fine.
Marcus Cage: And Fluffy?
Candy: She's fine too.
Marcus Cage: Well then, no harm done, except to his pride. Not only did he get turned down, but he got beat up by Santa and had Santa's Sack in his face. But, anyways. Let's go, it's almost time for your match.
(She puts Fluffy down as her and Marcus walk off, sending the cameras back to ringside.)

Candy Cane Ladder Match
Kelly Robinson vs Candy
The bell rings to start the match, with Candy and Kelly Robinson.
Breeze Jones: I know I’m new here, but Candy will have a challenge on her hands tonight. But, since I’ve seen Candy’s history, I have a feeling she can overcome this.
Jarrett Firewalker: PFFFT! Kelly Robinson is known for crippling people.
The girls lock up in the middle of the ring for a second. Kelly overpowers Candy and pushes her down on her back. This shocks Candy because she knows she’s in for a battle. Candy gets back to her feet and glares at Kelly. Candy and Kelly again lock up and this time Candy gets Kelly with an arm ringer which turned into a hammer lock. This turns out into a pretty good chain wrestling between the girls. However, Kelly is done having fun with Candy and the chain wrestling. Kelly grabs Candy by the arm and Irish whips her into the ropes. As Candy rebounds, Kelly tries to hit her with a clothesline but Candy ducks. Candy slides out of the ring using her own momentum. Candy looks at the ladder next to the barricade and walks towards it. Kelly climbs out of the ring and follows her and knocks Candy to the floor with a forearm to the back!
Kyle Johnson: Candy was going for the ladder in this early part of the match.
Jarrett Firewalker: Really? I thought maybe she dropped her idiot card at ringside.
Kyle Johnson: Don’t start!
Kelly looks at the downed Candy, and makes her way to the ladder herself. But Candy shakes off the cobwebs from being knocked in the back with a forearm. She grabs Kelly by her arm and spins her around. Kelly gets a forearm to the side of the face by Candy. Candy throws Kelly back into the ring. Kelly is holding to her face after the shot she took to the face. Meanwhile on the outside, Candy grabs the ladder and slides it into the ring.
Kyle Johnson: I guess the ladder is being brought into the ring for the first time.
Breeze Jones: Yep. I’d say anyone who can use the ladder to damage their opponent enough, they’re going to win.
Candy stands the ladder up on the turnbuckle. Kelly gets up from the forearm shot to the face she took just moments ago. She sees that Candy is setting up the ladder in the corner and decides to run towards her. Kelly is aiming to hit the flying clothesline on Candy, but Candy turns at just the right moment and steps aside. Kelly smashes into the ladder with her shoulder and upper arm!
Breeze Jones: The ladder’s on its first victim, Kelly Robinson.
Kyle Johnson: Well, I hate to say it, but she deserved to be the first one to feel the ladder.
Jarrett Firewalker: Way to be biased!
Candy grows a bit of a smile on her face after Kelly hit the ladder. It is as if Candy planned the whole thing. But the demeanor changes on her face when she sees that Kelly is standing up after the ladder shot. Kelly charges towards Candy and hits the move she wanted to, the flying clothesline on Candy. Kelly picks up Candy after the clothesline and throws her into the corner. Kelly walks towards the other side of the ring and charges towards Candy. Kelly hits the springboard elbow on Candy. Candy falls to the canvas. Kelly walks towards the ladder that’s still standing next to the turnbuckle on the far side of the ring. Kelly finally makes her way to the ladder and grabs onto it. She slams the ladder down in the middle of the ring.
Kyle Johnson: Kelly looks like she has some evil intentions with that ladder being placed where it’s at. She looks like she wants to plant Candy into it somehow.
Jarrett Firewalker: She will, you just watch!
Kelly picks up Candy by her hair and sets her up for her finishing move, the Hell Makeover. However, in the middle of the move, Candy fights out of it. Candy runs towards the ropes and hits the running bulldog on Kelly! But it wasn’t on the ladder. Candy looks up at the candy cane in the middle of the ring, then she looks at the ladder. She picks up the ladder and placed it under the candy cane.
Breeze Jones: It looks like Candy is going up!
Kyle Johnson: It does look like it!
Candy starts climbing the ladder and makes 5 steps to the top. She starts reaching up to the candy cane and has her hand on it. However, Kelly is climbing up the ladder and she hit Candy in the gut. Kelly starts to hammer Candy with punches on top of the ladder. Kelly starts to reach for the Candy Cane herself. She has the thing almost off before Candy punches her in the gut. Kelly loses grip of the cane and it falls back into place. Candy uses her legs and she hits the chick kick from the top of the ladder and Kelly falls to the ring below!
Jarrett Firewalker: This is horrible! Candy can’t do that!
Breeze Jones: And we were the biased ones? Sure she can. It’s a ladder match.
Candy reaches up at the candy cane and lifts it off and pulls it away from the hook and holds it up in the air!
Breeze Jones: Candy wins! Candy wins her first WXW match!
Kyle Johnson: She was impressive in this match to say the least. Enjoy it Candy!
Jeremy Tucker: Here is your winner… CANDY!!
_____________________________________________________________________
(The camera is backstage where we see Laney Bull walking down the hallway with a little smile on her face. Just as she is about to turn the corner, Extreme Justice is right there waiting for her. Dean Andry leans his arm against the wall to stop her from walking away from them. They are standing in front of her and she is looking back at them.)
Dean Andry: Bull’s wife, right?
Laney Bull: Yeah. That’s right. The one and only.
Darren Maddox: We have a big problem with your husband coming here and thinking he can throw his weight around whenever he feels like it. This is OUR playground. Your husband needs to realize that.
(Laney looks at Darren with her eyebrows turned in.)
Laney Bull: Corey doesn’t have to realize anything. In fact, it’s the other way around. There’s something that you three need to realize. Corey does whatever he wants to do. And nothing or no one will stop him.
Darren Maddox: Oh trust me… we can stop him… using any means necessary.
(Romeo Youngblood takes a step closer to her and is starting to get angry.)
Romeo Youngblood: You don’t seem to be getting the message that we are trying to get across to you. What we’re sayin’ is… if Corey Bull doesn’t stay out of our way, then Corey Bull will become NON-EXISTENT.
(Dean now moves in a bit closer to Laney and glares at her with a cruel expression.)
Dean Andry: In other words sweetheart… we will not hesitate to take the Bull by the horns and put him out of his misery.
(Laney is looking back at Dean and she pauses for a moment, then starts to grin a bit.)
Laney Bull: This coming from the guy who got his ass kicked backstage because his buddies weren’t around to help him. That was rather entertaining by the way.
Romeo Youngblood: Yeah, well… You wanna know what will be even more entertaining? Keep a close watch on my match tonight against your husband… because THAT is when the real entertainment begins.
(All three men give Laney a threatening look before slowly walking away from her. She watches them leave and shakes her head slightly.)
Laney Bull: Corpses… Walking corpses… All three of them.
(The camera goes to a paid advertisement from one of our sponsors.)
____________________________________________________________________
(The show returns and WXW Women’s champion Leanna Slater is standing in the middle of the ring with a mic in her hand.)
Leanna Slater: Alright everyone. It’s time for the best part of the evening. It’s time for my Mistletoe Challenge!
(The crowd starts to boo her and she gives them a mean look.)
Leanna Slater: Now… how this works is very simple. I’m going to ask for any man who is in the back right now to come on out here if they’ve got the guts and give me my Christmas kiss right underneath this here mistletoe that you see hanging above me.
(She looks up at the mistletoe that is hanging above the ring and points to it.)
Leanna Slater: Now I know that every single guy back there would just LOVE to have the chance to kiss such a beautiful, sexy woman such as myself. So hey, now is your big chance! Whoever has been dying for the opportunity… come on down!
(She waits while she looks towards the top of the entrance ramp. After about fifteen seconds, she tries again to tempt one of the superstars backstage to come down and kiss her.)
Kyle Johnson: I think she’s surprised that no one has jumped at the chance.
Leanna Slater: Now come on guys. No need to be shy. I know that there is at least five or six of you that I can think of who’s been wanting me the moment you laid eyes on me. A chance like this might never, and I mean NEVER, come around again. It’s time to seize the moment. A championship kiss awaits you right here… right now.
(She continues to look at the stage and still no one is coming out to take her up on her mistletoe challenge. She starts to get angry.)
Leanna Slater: Okay, it looks like none of you guys know a piece of hot stuff when ya see it! None of you have the guts to come down here on live television and get yourself some?? Is that it?? Is that the problem?? You guys are too afraid to kiss me in front of everyone because it just might show your “soft side”? Is that it?? Because I can tell ya right now that I—
(“Voices” by Disturbed starts to play all around the arena and Josiah Lincoln comes out onto the stage along with his tag team partner Grady Morgan. Both men are smiling and they look at each other and nod their heads before making their way down to the ring.)
Jarrett Firewalker: I think Leanna might be getting double of what she bargained for.
Breeze Jones: Yeah but these guys aren’t too bad looking, so it might be worth it for her. Not too sure if it’ll be worth it for them though. I got the chance to meet Leanna backstage for a few seconds and she doesn’t seem like a very nice person.
(Leanna is grinning as Josiah and Grady climb into the ring. They both look out at the crowd, then look at Leanna and the music stops. All three are standing in the center of the ring and both men are given a mic.)
Grady Morgan: For the record, I’m not out here to accept your mistletoe challenge. I’m married and I get enough kisses from my wife, so I’m all set. But thanks anyway. I’m just out here for the entertainment value of this.
(Leanna gives Grady a mean glare, then she looks at Josiah and starts to smile.)
Leanna Slater: So then, it looks like Josiah Lincoln is the big winner here. You ARE out here to accept my challenge right? Or are you married as well?
(Josiah smiles at her.)
Josiah Lincoln: No, I’m not married. I’m happily single. And as for why I’m out here… It’s not to take you up on your challenge. You see… I just want to come down here and tell you something to your face. If… that’s alright with you?
Leanna Slater: If you have something to say Josiah, then just come out and say it.
(Josiah waits for a moment before continuing.)
Josiah Lincoln: I just want to tell you that yes, you are a beautiful woman. And yes, you’ve got a great body. In fact, I’m surprised that you’re single, but hey, that’s just my opinion. But… what I want to say to you Leanna is… You really don’t have to carry out some kissing challenge to get a guy to fall for you. I mean, with all due respect, I just think that this looks kinda desperate on your part. Calling out men to kiss you under the mistletoe? To me… it just seems that you REALLY want a man in your life and this is just a tactic to try and get one. I’m not trying to sound rude here, honestly, I’m not. I just think that you have a lot more class than this, and I’m sure that you wouldn’t have any trouble getting a good guy to give you attention and to love you the way you deserve to be loved. That’s all I have to say to you Leanna.
(Leanna is looking at him with an angry expression on her face.)
Kyle Johnson: I think she took what Josiah just said to her the wrong way.
(Leanna takes a step closer to Josiah and they are staring at each other as Grady is looking on beside them.)
Leanna Slater: How DARE you come out here and say all of that to me. This isn’t some cheap attempt at getting myself a man! This is just me trying to get myself into the Christmas “spirit”, as hard as that is for me to do every year. I don’t like the holidays! I never have and I probably never will. So you can take your little lecture and stick it up your ass! I don’t need any advice about what I should and should not do. I do whatever I want to do when I come out here.
(Josiah shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head a bit.)
Josiah Lincoln: You know what, that’s all fine and good. It’s your air time Leanna, and yeah, you should be able to use it however you wish. I just wanted to—
Leanna Slater: SHUT UP!
(Josiah looks at Grady and then back at Leanna.)
Leanna Slater: You wanna talk about air time? You and your partner here are a complete waste of air time! I’m surprised management even lets you guys on the show!
Josiah Lincoln: They let us on the show because they know that Grady and I are more than capable of entertaining these fans.
(The crowd starts to cheer and Josiah and Grady look around the arena with smiles on their faces. Josiah then looks back at Leanna.)
Josiah Lincoln: I’m not gonna stand here and argue with you. After all, it’s the holidays and it’s a time of peace right?
Leanna Slater: Yeah well, if you want things to stay peaceful out here, then… I think that maybe you should just shut up and kiss me. Because if you don’t… then… things aren’t gonna be so peaceful for you.
(Leanna waits to see what Josiah says to that. He pauses a moment, then responds.)
Josiah Lincoln: You always like to think that you can dominate people don’t you. That’s the kind of woman that people take you for. You’ve been hangin’ around Darren, Dean, and Romeo for too long. Well, I hate to break this to ya, but I’m not gonna kiss you just because you tell me to.
Jarrett Firewalker: He should just kiss her already. Who wouldn’t wanna kiss Leanna??
Kyle Johnson: Well… nevermind.
(Leanna starts to get more angry. She steps even closer to Josiah and glares at him.)
Leanna Slater: You kiss me right now…
(Josiah just shakes his head ‘no’.)
Leanna Slater: DO… IT…
(Josiah doesn’t give in to her command. He shakes his head as if he can’t believe she’s being this determined about it.)
Josiah Lincoln: Sorry… but… you’re not my mistress.
(In instant reaction, she slaps him hard across the face! He puts his hand to his cheek, then shakes it off a bit and smiles slightly at her. She stands there giving him the meanest glare ever.)
Josiah Lincoln: You know something Leanna? I’m not surprised that you’re single… because the more you stay so miserable like this, the less chance you will EVER have at finding a man to share your life with. You have yourself a very Merry Christmas!
(Josiah and Grady drop their mics down on the mat, leave the ring and head up the ramp to the backstage area. Leanna watches them leave and she stands there angry as the show goes to commercials.)
___________________________________________________________________
Floyd McCarver vs Blake Thompson
The show returns with both Floyd and Blake in the ring as the referee signals for the bell. The two men lock up in the middle of the ring with Floyd getting the advantage over Blake, forcing him back into one of the corners as he lays in rights and lefts. Blake goes between the top and middle ropes forcing the referee to get Floyd off of him unless he wants to get disqualified.
Kyle Johnson: It should be noted that Blake is giving up both size and weight to Floyd who is a towering behemoth at 6’ 3” and weighed in tonight at 280 pounds. If Blake is going to win this one, then he’s going to have to use his speed game in order to keep the bigger and stronger Floyd at bay.
Floyd moves back from Blake giving him time to breathe, but instead of rolling out of the ring or onto the ring apron, Blake climbs to the top rope and jumps off the top turnbuckle at Floyd hitting the bottoms up and goes in for the cover…
1…
2…
Floyd powers out of it.
Breeze Jones: Blake almost got an early win there.
Floyd is getting back up to his feet and he doesn’t notice that Blake is already on his feet and springboards off the ropes and goes for a springboard crossbody. But Floyd catches Blake in mid-air and turns the springboard crossbody into a massive belly to belly suplex! Floyd goes in for the cover…
1…
2…
Blake is able to kick out much to the chagrin of Floyd. He goes in for another pin and again Blake kicks out at two.
Jarrett Firewalker: Floyd is looking frustrated.
Floyd picks up Blake and applies the bearhug in the middle of the ring. The pressure is applied as the referee asks Blake if he gives up to which Blake responds ‘no’. Floyd tightens the grasp of the bearhug even more. The referee raises Blake’s left hand once and it falls. He raises the hand of Blake a second time and it falls again. He lifts it the third time but this time Blake springs back to life and begins elbowing Floyd in the ribs, trying to get a bit of separation from him. Blake is able slip his right arm inside the bearhug and then begins to headbutt Floyd once but it does nothing. He does it again for a second time and Floyd is a bit dazed. Blake does the headbutt one more time finally breaking the bearhug and then quickly counters with an armdrag.
Kyle Johnson: Blake being forced to use moves out of his norm in order to get the big man Floyd off of him. But I’ve got to wonder exactly how much did that take out of him and how much does he have left against Floyd.
Blake whips himself up from the mat onto the top rope as he scales the rope waiting for Floyd to get back to his feet. Balancing on that top rope is no easy feat as Blake is wobbling back and forth trying not to fall off the rope as he waits for Floyd to turn around to face him. Before Blake can jump off and attack Floyd from the top rope, Floyd runs into the ropes causing Blake to lose his balance and get hung up on the top rope, then Floyd runs at the ropes again hitting the meathook clothesline knocking Blake down to the arena floor!
Breeze Jones: Now that’s what I call a hard landing! Blake hit the arena floor hard.
Floyd wasting no time goes outside after Blake and picks him and hits a belly to belly suplex through the announcer’s table! Floyd rolls into the ring breaking the referee’s ten count before returning to Blake laying on the announcer’s table. Floyd goes to pick up Blake but he jumps back up to his feet quickly and hits a spinning heel kick to Floyd!
Kyle Johnson: What a shot there by Blake with that spinning heel kick. He definitely caught Floyd by surprise.
Jarrett Firewalker: I don’t think he was hurt as bad as he let on.
Blake re-enters the ring and waits for Floyd to get back up as he is hoping to get a countout victory, but Floyd is able to get back in at the ref’s eight count. However, Blake is ready and waiting for him on the top turnbuckle and when Floyd is back in the ring and comes toward Blake, Blake hits him with the Halo and goes for the cover!

3!!
Kyle Johnson: This whole match was a close one. Both men wanted the win, but Blake was able to overcome Floyd.
Jarrett Firewalker: For once, I can’t debate you Kyle. I’ll give them credit. They both performed very well out here tonight.
Jeremy Tucker: Here is your winner… BLAKE THOMPSON!!

(The cameras go to one of the empty hallways backstage where we see a young woman carrying a gymbag over her shoulder. She seems to be looking for something or someone and she is looking at the nameplates on all of the doors. She continues to walk further down the hallway and Cassandra Caldwell is slowly approaching her with a pleasant smile.)
Cassandra Caldwell: Hi there. Are you looking for someone? You seem a bit lost.
Young Woman: Yeah.... you.
(Cassandra is a bit surprised.)
Cassandra Caldwell: Me? Well... alright. How can I help you?
Young Woman: Well, I'm here because a friend of mine said something about this place, so I wanted to come and check it out. I also had enough of the other place, because my trainer and my friends are no longer there.
(Cassandra looks at her for a moment and isn't sure what to say. She realizes right away however that this is most likely a free agent who is looking for a company to work for. She starts to get a little excited inside about the chance for yet another new addition to the roster, but she keeps her cool.)
Cassandra Caldwell: This isn't a matter to be discussed in the hallway. Come into my office. It's right here.
(Cassandra shows the young woman into her office and they both sit down.)
Cassandra Caldwell: I take it you're here to possibly sign on with our company?
Young Woman: Yes.
(The woman pauses for a moment and smiles.)
Young Woman: I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Jenn. Jennifer Carpenter.
Cassandra Caldwell: Well then Jennifer. It's great that you came here to the show tonight. So tell me, how long have you been wrestling?
Jennifer Carpenter: Well.... uh.... I’ve been wrestling for nine months now.
Cassandra Caldwell: Okay, that's very good. You've already got almost a year's worth of in-ring experience. Are you enjoying it? I mean, do you think you have a passion to continue doing this for a living and for a career?
Jennifer Carpenter: Well of course. If I didn't have passion for this, I wouldn't be here.
(Cassandra gives her another smile.)
Cassandra Caldwell: That's what I was hoping you would say. You see, a lot of wrestlers stick around for oh, five or six months in the business, then they just give up on it because things are either going too slowly for them or too fast for them to handle. I'm glad that you've got a passion for it. If you keep that passion alive inside of you Jenn, then you can do a lot with your future.
(Cassandra pulls out the top drawer in her desk and takes out a piece of paper. She hands it to Jennifer.)
Cassandra Caldwell: This is a contract outlining everything that WXW can offer you. We sometimes end up making modifications, but that usually only happens when someone with ten years or more of experience walks through the door and wants more than what's included on there.
(Jenn takes a look at the contract for a few moments.)
Cassandra Caldwell: I think it's a very suitable contract for someone with your experience who is wanting to further their career.
(Jenn chuckles.)
Jennifer Carpenter: Well, I can't quit wrestling because my trainers won't let me. But anyway, just give me a few more minutes to read it over if you don't mind?
Cassandra Caldwell: Of course I don’t mind. Take all the time you need. I’ll step out for a few minutes so you can have some privacy and read it over without the pressure of me sitting here staring at you.
(Cassandra smiles at her and gets up from her desk and leaves the room. Jenn watches her leave, then looks back at the contract.)
Jennifer Carpenter: An excellent salary here… and a busy touring schedule which means I’m gonna get a lot of exposure. No fine print at the bottom either. I like that. I think this is going to prove to be a definite step in the right direction. This is a new beginning for me. A new start. At least this place wants talent, unlike the other company I was in. They love to bury their talent in that other place. I also hope I can make some friends around here and they'll talk to me. I’m just really gonna miss Jetta though. Her and I were becoming best pals. I guess I’m just on my own again… without Jetta, or Eddie, or any of the others.
(A few moments later, Cassandra comes back in with Jorge Lopez and they go and stand next to Jennifer.)
Cassandra Caldwell: Jennifer, this is Jorge Lopez. He's our new Head of Talent Relations and I thought maybe you would like to meet—
Jennifer Carpenter: JORGE!!
(Jenn is smiling wide and Jorge gives her a hug out of instant reaction to her being there.)
Cassandra Caldwell: You... both... know each other?
Jennifer Carpenter: Of course! He's my boyfriend’s father! He also gives me advice whenever I need it.
Jorge Lopez: Yeah, we know each other. I'm the one who signed her first contract in that other place before they let me go.
(Jorge smiles a bit at the reunion. Cassandra nods her head and looks at Jenn.)
Cassandra Caldwell: Well, you already know someone in the company now. Jorge is helping us to bring new talent to our roster. So what do you say we sign you on right here and now?
(Jorge looks at Jennifer.)
Jorge Lopez: You'll fit in just fine here. I'll be around to help you.
(She hesitates for a few seconds, then picks up the pen that is on the desk and signs the contract. She looks at Cassie and smiles.)
Jennifer Carpenter: Looks like you have a new star here. OH! and if you want, you can call me Jenn.
(A big smile comes to Cassandra's face.)
Cassandra Caldwell: That’s great! Welcome aboard!
(Jorge gives Jenn a hug and the camera goes back to ringside.)

Codairs’s Debut Match
TJ Codair vs Jake Cruder
Jake Cruder and TJ Codair are already in the ring. They meet up in the middle of the ring as they look at each other for a bit before looking at the fans surrounding the ring chanting for the two of them. Jake gets a look on his face that says let’s tear this house down and TJ has a look that says that he wouldn’t have it no other way.
TJ and Jake lock up in the ring and neither one is able to force the other into a corner so they change the test of strength into a test of pushing the other down to the floor. TJ runs at Jake and body’s him, but Jake doesn’t fall and TJ stands as Jake runs and body’s him but he also doesn’t budge.
Kyle Johnson: There’s a respect between these two men that not many of the other superstars have in the back. I think that maybe Jake looks up to TJ as a mentor of some sorts so he’s trying to do good in front of TJ.
TJ runs at Jake who ducks, so TJ runs towards the other ropes as Jake gets up now and runs at TJ who then leapfrogs over Jake and then drops down to the mat as Jake reaches the other rope. They look at each other as the fans to chant. Jake runs at TJ who deflects him into one of the turnbuckles and then lights up Jake with a few knife-edge chops until Jake puts his head through the top and middle ropes forcing the referee to get TJ to back away, otherwise he’ll be disqualified.
TJ respects the referee’s command and waits as Jake gets out of the corner and then the two men lock up in the middle of the ring again and they chain wrestle for a few minutes with neither person getting the upper hand. The referee breaks them up and then they lock up again and TJ goes for a German suplex and hits one and then goes for a second one and connects. He goes for another one but Jake reverses into one of his own and then hits another one, but TJ turns the third attempt into a Japanese arm drag.
Jarrett Firewalker: This has turned out to be a very skillful and strategic match on the part of both men.
The two men look at each other again as the fans continue chanting that the match is awesome.Both men are trying to outdue one another but that respect factor is still there for the fans to see that the two men love this business and that they are willing to go all out for the fans. TJ bounces off of the ropes towards Jake but at the same time Jake slides out of the ring causing TJ to get tripped up. Jake then rolls back into the ring and then snapmares TJ followed by a kick in the back. Jake goes for the cover but only get a two count.
TJ gets up and looks at Jake who is trying to keep his composure. TJ runs at Jake who tries to duck out of the way but walks right into a superkick. TJ goes for the cover but only gets a long two count.
TJ looks on as Jake makes it back to his knees before running and hitting the Shining Wizard and going in for the cover. The referee gets a two count as Jake was able to get his left foot on the bottom rope. TJ asks the referee if that was a three count but the referee tells him that it was only a two count because Jake’s foot was on the rope.
While TJ and the referee are busy talking, Jake has rolled away from them as he uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet and now climbs up the top rope. TJ notices Jake and he runs over to the corner and starts punching Jake on the top rope causing him to lose his balance and get crotched by the top rope!
Breeze Jones: THAT had to hurt.
TJ then lifts up Jake and hits a spider suplex out of the corner! TJ goes for the cover but only gets a long two count. He turns the rollup into the Crossface as Jake is now in the middle of the ring. Jake tries his best to get through the pain as he drags himself towards the ropes, but right as he was about to fade, he uses his last bit of strength to reach the ropes with his right foot which forces TJ to break the hold.
TJ gets up to his feet but before he can fully get up, Jake hits an Enzuigiri kick that levels TJ and gives him enough time to get back up to the second rope to jump off for the leaping elbow drop, but before he can get his elbow up for the elbow drop, TJ pops up and hits Jake with his knee thus connecting with the Broken Halo!
TJ goes in for the cover as the referee counts the three counts!
Kyle Johnson: TJ has won this match but that was a very close match between him and Jake.
Jarrett Firewalker: Jake made a simple mistake of not being the faster superstar and as such has fallen victim to the Broken Halo.
Jeremy Tucker: The winner of this match… TJ CODAIR!!
TJ and Jake stare at one another in the ring for a few moments before Jake exits the ring, giving the winner the people’s attention when Phillip Saints suddenly appears on the entrance ramp and looks at TJ while pointing at him and saying something that the cameras don’t pick up on.
Kyle Johnson: What the hell is Phillip Saints out here for?
With an angry look on his face, Phillip turns and leaves as TJ continues to stand in the ring with a puzzled look on his face as to whatever Phillip Saints just said to him. The fans chant for TJ before he exits the ring and makes his way up the entrance ramp.
____________________________________________________________________
(The camera catches up with Maria Stone who is quickly coming up to Phillip Saints immediately after he returns to the backstage area after going out on the stage and making some kind of statement to TJ Codair. Maria starts to question him about it.)
Maria Stone: Phillip, we just saw you go out onto the stage and point directly at TJ Codair and say a few words to him. What was that all about just now? Why did you do that?
Phillip Saints: I did that because I’ve been hearing what TJ Codair has been saying about my brother Robert. He doesn’t like him and trust me, the feeling is mutual. I don’t like how he puts down my brother. I’m sure he thinks Robert has some sort of big ego and that he doesn’t deserve to hold the World Heavyweight Championship.
Maria Stone: Well… Robert does kind of have an ego that he can’t seem to control.
Phillip Saints: Look Maria, are you going to stand here and put down my brother, my FAMILY, just like TJ Codair does?
Maria Stone: No… that’s not what I’m doing. But anyway, you didn’t really answer my question. You went onto the stage to get TJ’s attention because you don’t like his attitude towards Robert? Is that why?
Phillip Saints: Maria… Blood is thicker than water… and Robert and I may have had our differences in the past, but he is still my brother. Brothers stand up for each other. I went out there, yes, to get Codair’s full and complete attention. You see, I want him to know that if he thinks he can go around this company and not respect Robert as the true champion that he is, then, I say that Codair needs to be taught a few lessons on how to show respect to those who deserve it.
(Phillip turns and looks dead center into the camera.)
Phillip Saints: And I am just the one to give it to him.
(Phillip walks out of the camera shot and we go back to ringside for the main event of the evening.)

Main Event
Miracle on 34th Streetfight Match
Corey Bull vs Romeo Youngblood
Corey is standing in the ring with his wife Laney Bull at his side while Romeo is in the opposite corner with Dean Andry and Darren Maddox in his corner. Dean and Darren are yelling at Corey but Romeo remains silent as he looks over at Corey as if focusing on him. Dean and Darren climb out of the ring and stand at ringside in Romeo’s corner. Laney pats Corey hard on the back and she climbs out and stands at ringside in his corner.
Breeze Jones: These guys are both big guys. This is gonna be good.
Corey and Romeo circle around each other for a couple of moments sizing each other up, then they lock up and Corey starts things off with a firm headlock. Romeo is able to get out of it and whips Corey into the ropes and on the rebound, he goes for a clothesline, but Corey ducks under and picks Romeo up and bodyslams him hard to the mat! Corey looks out at the crowd and it’s clear to see that he is on fire tonight!
Kyle Johnson: The war between Corey Bull and Extreme Justice is by no means simmering down whatsoever. It’s just getting worse as each week passes.
Jarrett Firewalker: It’s Bull’s fault and he deserves everything that’s coming to him. He could just back away from all of this, but no. He has to throw his power around.
Kyle Johnson: Oh and Extreme Justice isn’t doing the same damn thing? They go around this company acting like they own the place!
Breeze Jones: Both of you just stop the arguing and do your jobs out here! Geez!!
Romeo gets to his feet and Corey delivers a head and shoulder suplex and goes for a cover…
1…
Romeo kicks out.
Romeo gets up and the two circle each other at a fast pace in the center of the ring. Dean and Darren are shouting more trash talk into the ring. The two men lock up into an intense power struggle and Corey pushes Romeo away. They lock up again and Corey gradually overpowers Romeo and forces him backwards into the corner. Romeo reverses and powers Corey into the corner. Corey starts to punch at Romeo’s head and that makes Romeo step backwards. Corey whips Romeo into the ropes and on the return, Corey hits him with a swinging sidewalk slam. Romeo slowly gets up and Corey gives him a few back elbows to the throat and then a couple of gut kicks. Corey whips Romeo into the ropes and on the rebound hits a running clothesline. Romeo quickly rolls out of the ring to catch his breath. Dean and Darren go over to him and they look into the ring and start shouting at Corey who then climbs out of the ring and goes right after all three of them! Laney is still standing on the other side of the ring in Corey’s corner looking on.
Kyle Johnson: Romeo’s having a hard time with Corey here tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Dean Andry had a hard time with Corey too. Romeo needs to get a strategy going in his mind and stick with it if he plans on getting any advantage over Corey.
After a brief chase around the ring, Romeo rolls back into the ring followed by Corey and the two men quickly get to their feet and lock up. Romeo gains control with sudden powerful punches to Corey’s face. He keeps on the attack and gives a couple of sharp knees to Corey’s midsection, then sends Corey into the ropes and on the return delivers a powerslam and goes for the pin…
1…
2…
Kickout at 2!
Jarrett Firewalker: Romeo turning things around now. He’s gotta keep the momentum on his side.
Breeze Jones: I don’t trust Darren or Dean being on the outside. I can tell they’re sneaky just by looking at them.
Kyle Johnson: Most people would agree with you there Breeze.
Romeo gets Corey up and throws some punches to the side of his head, then puts on a front face lock. He can’t keep it on for long as Corey struggles out of it and the two of them start to unleash punches back and forth on each other once again! Corey whips Romeo into the ropes and on the return, nails him with a flying knee that staggers Romeo back against the ropes. Corey grabs him and hits him with a front head and arm suplex to the mat and Corey goes for the pin…
1…
2…
Romeo kicks out at 2!
Corey gets Romeo up and throws him through the ropes and onto the outside and then he himself climbs out of the ring.
Kyle Johnson: Uh oh. Corey’s taking this fight to the next level I think.
Breeze Jones: Is this the part where I get to leave and go backstage for my own safety?
Jarrett Firewalker: No because this is a streetfight, so this thing might end up backstage!
Corey grabs Romeo by his head and smashes him right into the steel ring post! Corey picks him up and forces him over to the barricade and rams his forehead into it! Romeo goes down to the floor and Dean Andry comes running over with a chair and hits Corey across the back and Corey falls to the floor! Dean goes to hit Corey with the chair again but Laney Bull races over behind him and grabs the chair from him!
Kyle Johnson: Get out of there Laney!
She starts to shout at Dean and raises the chair in the air and threatens to hit him over the head with it. Darren suddenly gets into it and steps in front of her and starts yelling at her. By this time, Corey and Romeo are back on their feet and Corey grabs Dean and plunges him right into the steel steps! Corey turns around and Romeo goes for a spear, but Corey moves out of the way and Romeo goes head first right into the announcer’s table!!
Jarrett Firewalker: Incoming! Incoming!
Romeo and Dean are down and Corey turns his focus to Darren and goes after him! Darren grabs the steel ring bell from the announcer’s table and runs at Corey and hits the side of Corey’s head with it, but it doesn’t land very hard on him enough to make much of an impact, but still, it’s enough to take Corey to the floor. Darren starts to grin and looks at Laney Bull and again starts to menacingly walk towards her shouting at her. Dean and Romeo are back to their feet and the three of them start to go towards Laney Bull who is backing up away from them. She quickly goes to the other side of the ring, lifts up the apron, and pulls out a sledgehammer! She stands in front of Dean, Darren, and Romeo and starts shouting right back at them, urging them to take one more step towards her so she can knock their heads off!
Jarrett Firewalker: Is Bull’s wife out of her mind??
By now, Corey is heading over to where they are and grabs the sledgehammer from Laney and goes after Extreme Justice with it. He goes to hit Romeo over the head but misses and hits the barricade instead. He goes to hit Dean with it and gets him good on the shoulder, sending Dean collapsing to the floor! However Darren has already made his way around the ring and is back behind Corey and Corey doesn’t see him and Darren hits him over the head with a steel chair! Corey collapses to the floor and now Dean and Romeo have made it to their feet and all three of Extreme Justice are stomping away on Corey and taking the boots right to him!!
Kyle Johnson: A vicious attack! This is just vicious!! Come on!!
Suddenly the fans go wild and crazy as Alexis Makarios comes running full force down the ramp to ringside!! Drake DeMarco is following behind her!!
Breeze Jones: ALEXIS!!
Alexis goes right after Darren Maddox!! She starts punching him right in the face and he’s punching back at her with little effect! Drake is cheering on Alexis as her and Darren continue to go at it! She grabs Darren by the hair and smashes his head right into the announcer’s table!! He collapses to the floor and she starts shouting at him!
Kyle Johnson: Alexis is losing it all over Darren!
Breeze Jones: Of course she is! Drake is her family and Darren’s been treating Drake like shit ever since Drake got here.
Jarrett Firewalker: Like you would know! You just got here!
Breeze Jones: I’ve seen Darren’s video and I know about Darren starting up on Drake again at the company Christmas party. So yes, I know very well what’s he’s been doing! Get him Alexis!!
Laney is yelling at Dean and Romeo to stop attacking Corey and they both look at Laney and start to grin and head towards her. But just as they do, Drake DeMarco picks up the sledgehammer that’s laying on the floor next to Corey and lunges at Romeo and hits him over the head with it!
Kyle Johnson: Smart thinking by Drake! He knew to take out the bigger one first!! AND… Romeo is the legal man in the match!
Romeo is down on the floor and Corey gets himself up, gets Romeo up and throws him into the ring. He climbs into the ring himself, gets Romeo up and nails him with the Downward Spiral and goes for the cover! The ref, who is all out of breath from trying to keep up with it all, makes it back into the ring quickly and starts the count…
1…
2…
3!!!
Dean rolls into the ring and quickly helps Romeo out of it and the two are standing against the barricade looking at Corey who is still in the ring with Laney now standing with him.
However, Alexis and Darren are still going at it with punches on the outside! Drake is looking on at them and is laughing hysterically and loving every minute of it! Dean and Romeo run over to Darren and forcibly pull him away from Alexis. The three of them start to retreat into the crowd with Dean and Romeo shouting at Corey while Darren is shouting at Alexis and Drake. Alexis wipes the bit of blood from her slightly split bottom lip and Drake goes to stand with her and checks on her.
Corey and Laney are standing in the middle of the ring as the show slowly fades out and goes to the advertisement for the upcoming pay per view Back To Hell on January 12, 2014!
