The intro for Xtreme plays, followed by a cavalcade of fireworks on the entrance ramp. Almost immediately, Simon Prior’s music hits the speakers and the CEO makes his way to ringside, the TWF World Championship hung over his shoulder. He climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone, smiling at the fans.
“Well, it’s time for the fun to start. Firstly, the quarter final matches have a 10 minute time limit. The semi finals 15 minutes, and the final will go on until there is a winner. Can we have the tournament brackets placed up on the screen please? (The bracket appears) Now that you are all aware of the setup for the tournament, let the first match begin!”
As Prior leaves the ring, Sean Harrison’s music hits the speakers, and the man himself soon makes his entrance, soon followed by former German Olympian Flake Spitzenkörper. Flake limbers up quickly as the bell rings.
Quarter Final 1 – Sean Harrison VS Flake Spitzenkörper
Flake starts off well, attempting to get the early advantage. He forces Harrison back into the corner, spinning him round and hitting a reverse DDT. He moves quickly for a headlock, holding Harrison down on the mat for a few seconds, before Harrison reaches out and grabs hold of the bottom rope, the ref forcing Flake to break the hold. Flake continues his assault with an elbow to the back of the head, before placing Harrison in the Buhne-Lock, and again Harrison manages to reach the ropes, forcing Flake to break his hold. Harrison returns to his feet, and is bounced off the ropes. Flake goes for a clothesline, but Harrison ducks, spins round and almost turns Flake inside out with a clothesline of his own. Harrison turns around and hits the Executioner, and goes for a cover. Flake kicks out after two. Harrison picks up the German athlete and throws him to the ropes, catching him around the throat as he returns. Harrison signals at the crowd before hitting a devastating chokeslam on Flake. The punishment isn’t over yet though. Harrison pulls Flake to his feet and hits him with a powerbomb, followed by another Executioner. Again he lifts Flake to his feet and sets him up for a DDT. Flake tries to fight back but is simply overpowered. Harrison hits the DDT. Again, Harrison pulls Flake to his feet, and signals the Attitude Adjustment. And once more, Flake attempts to break free from the hold, but Harrison proves too strong at this stage. Harrison hits the Attitude Adjustment! He covers Flake. 1…2…3! Harrison moves forward to the semi finals! Flake lays in the ring, semi-conscious, as Harrison celebrates his victory.
Quarter Final 2 – Real Deal VS Dirty Dipako
Dipako gets the first move, charging at Deal and knocking him off his feet with a flying ax-handle. Deal is too stunned to move, as Dipako hits Deal with a leg drop and follows up with a quick elbow before attempting the cover. Deal is quick to recover this time, and the referee manages a 2 count. Dipako bounces off the ropes and kicks Deal in the head with a running dropkick, and goes for another cover. Deal kicks out after two. Dipako continues with a neckbreaker and a flip-over neckbreaker whilst Deal is sat on the canvas. Deal returns to his feet unsteadily, but soon regains his faculties and attacks Dipako with a forearm to the back of the head and a knee to the gut. Deal follows up with a running knee to the side of Dipako’s head, then attempts a Boston Crab. Dipako struggles against it, and Deal only manages to half apply the hold. After several seconds of holding the move, Deal lets go, and drops an elbow on the back of Dipako’s head before the Londoner can get to his feet. Deal goes for the cover, but Dipako proves resilient and kicks out after 2. Deal picks up Dipako and hits him with a sidekick, then drops a headbutt on the prone Dipako. Deal tries to hit a second headbutt, but Dipako rolls out of the way. Deal clutches his face in pain as Dipako climbs the turnbuckle and hits an elbow drop from the top turnbuckle. He goes for the cover and gets a 2. Dipako steps out of the ring to grab a steel chair. The referee stops him and takes the chair off him. Whilst the ref is distracted Dipako approaches Deal and hits a low blow, then scales the turnbuckle again and prepares for The Clash. Deal recovers quickly, forcing Dipako to jump early. Deal catches him and sets him up for the Deal Maker. Deal gets him up to shoulder height where Dipako flips over the top of him and knocks Deal over with a dropkick, then rolls him up for the cover, grabbing a handful of tights with one hand and the middle rope with the other. The referee doesn’t see it! 1…2….3! Dipako gets the victory! He quickly escapes from the ring as Deal looks irate, kicking the ropes and arguing extensively with the referee. But the result stands – Dipako is through! Deal cannot contain his anger and storms out of the arena.
Flake and Greenburger are backstage, where Flake is trying to show Greenburger how to do push-ups… but it’s not working – Greenburger keeps collapsing before he can even extend his arms fully. Flake looks at the camera, smiles and holds up a tub of Vaseline, holding the pose for 5 seconds, before returning to training Greenburger.
“Do not worry Huge, you shall go out there and be victorious!”
“It’s too hard!”
“If you do not train, you do not win, ja?”
“Ja…..”
“Gut. Now, it is time for your match. Go Greenburger, make Uncle Flake proud!”
Greenburger smiles happily like a child who’s just received a new toy, before running out of shot towards the ringside area. Flake smiles and winces, gently touching the areas of his face that were attacked by Harrison. “The Touch” hits the speakers in the arena, and Huge Greenburger makes his way to the ring. Vayne enters the arena, but before the bell rings, “Over The Mountain” hits the speakers and TWF Owner Simon Prior makes his way onto the ramp.
“Vayne, you complained to me about your match with The Player last week, and I feel that it’s justified to some extent. However, I can’t have my wrestlers constantly complaining to me if they get the short end of the stick in one of their matches. So Vayne, you want that TWF World title, you’re gonna have to work for it. Yes I know, I know. You’ve got Greenburger in your first match. Now no offence to you Greenburger, but you’re hardly the best we have on the roster. But Vayne, if you do manage to defeat Greenburger, and I’m having a hard time seeing you lose this one, then you’ve got a semi final against either The Player or The Stud. You know how tough The Player can be, and I’m assured that The Stud is an exceptional young athlete. Keep this in mind Vayne. And remember – even if you manage to get past that obstacle and into the final, you’ve got the powerhouse Sean Harrison, the Real Deal, Dirty Dipako, and former Olympian Flake all on the other side of the bracket. Do you think you can beat those odds? I’m going to enjoy finding out. Ring the bell.”
Quarter Final 3 – Vayne VS Huge Greenburger
Greenburger tries to put a brave face on, but is completely intimidated by Vayne’s attitude and physique. He falls to the ground, crying and banging his fists into the floor. Vayne picks him up and pats him on the shoulder. Greenburger smiles… but is then given a vicious right hook to the chin. He goes straight down and out. Vayne shrugs and covers, but lifts Greenburger’s shoulders from the canvas after two. He struggles to get the man-child to his feet, but eventually succeeds, before scaling the turnbuckle and hitting the Deep Vayne on the standing but unconscious Greenburger. This time Vayne covers him and doesn’t break the count. The ref counts to three and Vayne is quickly through to the semi final stage.
As he leaves, Vayne gestures at his physique, trying to imply that it was his superb physical condition that won the match. Flake runs to the ring, still wincing, obviously distressed at Greenburger’s loss. For a second week running, he gestures for the EMT’s to help Greenburger, and again for a second week running, they take him away and place him in an ambulance, with Flake in tow. We cut back to the arena as The Player and “The Stud” enter the ringside area and wait for the bell that will start their match. The contempt is easy to see on both their faces. The Player smiles as the bell rings.
Quarter Final 4 – The Player VS “The Stud” Gary Matthews
Both men walk to the centre of the ring and begin with a test of strength. Neither gains a significant advantage. They move together again, and once more attempt the test of strength. The Player kicks at the knee of The Stud, and gains the advantage. He puts as much pressure on him as he can, causing The Stud to fall to his knees. The Player continues to put pressure on the hands of The Stud, who is forced even lower towards the canvas. The Player gets The Stud’s shoulders pinned to the mat, and the referee counts. The Stud manages to break the hold after 2. The Player refuses to give The Stud time to recover, and hits him with a few kicks to the gut, then hits a DDT. He picks The Stud up and sets him up for the triple powerbomb. The Stud reverses the move midway, and hits a huge DDT on The Player. The Stud follows up with a quick DDT and locking The Player in a side headlock. The Stud follows through with the hold and rolls The Player over onto the canvas. The Stud puts The Player into a headlock on the mat, putting pressure on the head and neck of The Player. The referee counts when both of The Player’s shoulders are on the canvas. Twice the referee counts, and twice The Player manages to get a shoulder up after 2. The Stud pulls The Player up to his feet and throws him to the corner, where he hits a big splash. As The Player stumbles out of the corner, The Stud drops to his knees and picks up The Player on his shoulders, preparing for the Stud Cruiser. He hits it! He goes for the cover…1….2…. The Player kicks out! The Stud can’t believe it. He sets up The Player for another Stud Cruiser to finish him off, but The Player breaks the hold early and sends The Stud crashing into the referee, knocking both men down. The Player exits the ring whilst the referee is down, and grabs a steel chair. He returns to the ring and sets up to hit The Stud. The referee stirs, and The Player notices this. He waits for The Stud to get to his feet, then throws the chair at him. The Stud takes advantage and runs forward, hitting The Player across the head with the steel chair. The referee looks up to see The Stud holding the chair, and calls for the bell. The Stud can’t believe it. He continues to assault The Player, who is apparently not actually injured from the chair shot. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it. He gets to his feet and the pair continue to fight, all the way up the ramp and off back behind the curtain.
As both men exit the ringside area, the bracket following the quarter final stage is displayed on the arena screen, followed by a commercial break.
We cut to backstage to see Sean Harrison sat in the canteen, sipping from a small paper cup. He glances up to check the time, then throws the cup away and makes his way out of the canteen. Dipako’s music hits and the Londoner makes his way to the ring.
Semi Final 1 – Sean Harrison VS Dirty Dipako
Harrison uses his size advantage to go for an immediate advantage, grabbing Dipako and setting him up for a belly to belly suplex. Dipako surprises Harrison by slithering out of the hold and hitting Harrison with a sweep kick to the back of the ankles, knocking the big man down. Dipako follows up with a flurry of punches before placing Harrison in a face-down chicken wing. Harrison struggles to escape with the full weight of Dipako on his back, but somehow manages to get to his feet and throw Dipako over his shoulders. Dipako rolls on impact with the mat and is immediately back up and hitting Harrison with more kicks and punches. He throws Harrison to the ropes and hits a dropkick, bounces off the ropes himself and hits a leg drop on the prone Harrison. He goes for the cover. 1…2… Harrison kicks out. Dipako gives Harrison time to get to his feet, before bouncing off the ropes a second time and hitting him with a dropkick to the shins, knocking the big man down again. Dipako throws himself off the ropes and goes for a big splash, but Harrison raises his knees, winding Dipako and returning the advantage to Harrison. He throws Dipako to the corner, and hits him with a big clothesline. Dipako falls to the mat and rolls outside, trying to collect himself. Harrison scales the turnbuckle quickly and leaps toward Dipako, hitting a clothesline that leaves both men down on the arena floor. Harrison is the first to recover as the referee reaches a 7 count. He quickly rolls back into the ring to break the count, then rolls back outside. He lifts Dipako up and hits him with a Double Arm DDT to the arena floor. The referee’s count continues, reaching 5. Harrison rolls back in, willing to let the ref count Dipako out. Dipako gets to his feet as quickly as possible, and just about makes it back into the ring before the ref counts to 10. Harrison kicks at Dipako, moves him to the centre of the ring and places him in a reverse sitting armbar, putting as much pressure as he can on Dipako’s arm. Dipako just about manages to reach the ropes to break the hold. Harrison then attempts a Roundhouse Kick just as Dipako gets to his feet, but Dipako ducks and its Harrison with a short range spear to the gut. Harrison goes down, giving Dipako the advantage. Dipako hits Harrison with a few punches to the head, then executes a standing spinning splash on Harrison, before lifting him up and hitting Harrison with a quick gutbuster. Dipako climbs the turnbuckle, ready to hit The Clash, when out of nowhere Real Deal appears and pushes him from the turnbuckle! Harrison goes straight for the Attitude Adjustment and hits it! He covers with the bridge…. 1…..2…..3! Dipako has been screwed out of the victory! Deal retreats up the ramp, his task achieved. Harrison smiles and raises his arms in victory, knowing that he is just one match away from winning the gold. Dipako lays there, stunned, but not too concerned about losing his chance at the title, more so the fact that Deal screwed him out of a victory. Dipako gets to his feet and sprints up the ramp, seeking revenge.
We cut to backstage, where The Game is chatting to a few technicians. Simon Prior walks past, and The Game calls out to him.
“Prior, we need to talk.”
“What is it Game, I’m very busy at the moment.”
“You and I both know of my achievements in the old TWF. You know that I’m a former TWF Champion and beat the best the company had to offer. Now I know I was too late to join this tournament, but I demand that you give me a title shot on Xtreme next week.”
“You can demand all you want, it won’t get you anywhere. Times are changing, Game. We’ve got a new roster, new talent. You’re a relic of a bygone era. But I tell you what, I’m in a good mood. I won’t give you the title shot you wanted, but I will allow a fatal four way number one contendership match between you, our losing finalist, Dirty Dipako and the loser of the next match. If you manage to beat those guys, you definitely deserve a shot at the title. If not, it just goes to prove my point. A relic you are, and a relic you’ll remain. Now excuse me.”
Deal brushes past as The Game looks on, anger covering his face, as we cut to the arena.
Semi Final 2 – Vayne VS The Player
Vayne decides to try and get this match finished as quickly as possible, and attacks immediately after the bell rings. He manages to get in a number of kicks and punches before The Player mounts a defence and pushes Vayne to the mat. He drops a fist on Vayne’s head, then picks up the smaller man and bounces him off the ropes. The Player lifts Vayne up into a Samoan Drop and puts as much power behind it as he can. Vayne bounces up high off the canvas, and The Player goes for a cover, which Vayne kicks out from after 2. The Player continues his assault, picking Vayne up and hitting a sit-down powerbomb. He goes for another cover, but Vayne again kicks out after 2. He gets to his feet and gives Vayne several chops to the chest. Vayne attempts to retaliate, but for every chop he gives, The Player just smiles and hits Vayne with an even stronger chop of his own. Vayne retreats to the corner, where The Player lifts him up to the top turnbuckle and climbs up himself. Vayne again attempts to fight back but is overpowered. The Player grabs Vayne around the head and hits a DDT from the top turnbuckle. The Player goes for a cover, certain of victory after that devastating move. 1…2… Vayne kicks out! Somehow he finds a way to kick out. The Player shakes his head, then smiles again as he picks Vayne up and throws him into the corner. The Player reverses into the opposite corner, then sprints full steam towards Vayne, who moves at the last second. As The Player staggers backwards, Vayne attacks from behind with a running knee to the back. The Player is knocked forward and collides with the turnbuckle a second time. As The Player again staggers backwards, Vayne hits him with a swinging DDT, and follows up with a cover. The Player kicks out after 2. Vayne drops two elbows on The Player, then goes for another cover, again getting a 2 count. The Player elbows Vayne in the gut and returns to his feet. He slings Vayne against the ropes and goes for a big boot, but Vayne ducks and The Player hits the referee instead! The Player quickly turns to face Vayne, who goes for a spinning heel kick. The Player catches his boot, lifts Vayne above his head and press-slams him. The Player repeats the same process as his first match, stepping out of the ring and grabbing a steel chair while the referee is down. He steps back into the ring as Vayne returns to his feet. He checks on the referee, who is out cold. He swings the steel chair towards Vayne, who ducks it and hits The Player with a spinning heel kick that sends the steel chair flying into his face. Vayne grabs hold of the steel chair himself and whacks The Player across the head with it, sending the strong man to the canvas. Vayne checks on the referee, who is still out of it, but slowly coming to. With no time to lose, Vayne places the steel chair across the head of The Player and climbs the turnbuckle. He dives off the top rope and hits an elbow on top of the chair. He quickly throws the chair out of the ring and goes for the pin as the referee recovers. The ref counts slowly…1………..2……………3! Vayne wins it! He celebrates shakily in the ring as The Player remains on the mat, apparently unconscious. Vayne continues to celebrate and exits the ring, as The Player simply sits up and touches at his forehead which is now covered in blood. He looks at his bloodied hand and smiles as we cut to a commercial.
The tournament bracket is displayed once more, showing the movement into the final.
We cut to backstage, where Real Deal is stalking the corridors. He kicks at anything he sees, causing as much damage and mayhem as he can. We follow Deal down the corridor as he continues the destruction. Without warning a figure jumps him – it’s Dipako! Deal tries to fight back but is overwhelmed by the Londoner. Dipako gets his hands on a trash can lid and smashed it into Deal’s skull three times. Deal falls to the ground, but Dipako continues the assault, now with a disused and slightly damaged mop. He beats Deal with it several times before officials intervene and take Dipako away. We cut back to the arena, where the two finalists make their way to the ring.
Final – Sean Harrison VS Vayne
The final gets under way with neither competitor willing to rush in and make a mistake. They circle the ring once or twice, taking their time and refusing to leap in. They finally come together in the centre of the ring, locking up. Harrison gains the initial advantage, holding Vayne in a devastating arm bar! He breaks the hold and taunts Vayne, who’s temper rises and springs forward. Harrison deftly moves aside, causing Vayne to crash into the middle turnbuckle. As Vayne staggers back, Harrison catches him around the waist and hits a belly-to-back suplex. Vayne is catapulted across the ring and bounces awkwardly on his back and neck. Harrison goes for a quick cover, but Vayne kicks out. Harrison sets Vayne up and hits the Executioner, then locks in a figure four leg lock. Vayne manages to reach the ropes with ease, but Harrison pulls him back into the centre of the ring. Vayne rests his shoulders on the mat, the referee counts. Vayne lifts them up after two, and the process is repeated. Vayne slowly turns over onto his stomach, reversing the pressure of the hold. Harrison feels the full brunt of the move and is forced to break the hold. Vayne stands and limps for a few moments as Harrison recovers, before Vayne gets up as much speed as he can and rams a shoulder into the small of Harrison’s back. He bounces off the ropes and hits a Frankensteiner on Harrison, and goes for a quick cover, but Harrison is barely dazed and kicks out after 1. Both men return to their feet and lock up. Vayne gets the advantage this time around and puts Harrison in an armbar of his own. He twists around Harrison and knocks him down with a leg sweep, then drops a series of elbows and leg drops to the head of Harrison. Vayne kicks Harrison a few more times for good measure, then moves towards the turnbuckle for the Deep Vayne, but is attacked from behind by Harrison. He sets Vayne up for the Attitude Adjustment… Vayne escapes! Vayne kicks Harrison in the gut and sets him up for a double underhook suplex, but Harrison escapes from the hold and throws Vayne into a vertical suplex position. He holds it for a few moments…. then he hits the Difference Maker. Harrison goes for the cover…1….2…3! We have a new TWF Champion!
Harrison raises the gold, the first TWF World Champion! He holds the belt up in the air with one arm, celebrating his victory as Vayne stumbles backwards up the ramp, clutching at his jaw and his eyes never leaving Harrison for a second. Harrison continues to celebrate as Xtreme goes off the air!
