XPW Thursday Night Overload
MCI Center in Washington
Announcers: Joey Styles and Joel Gertner
Written by: Jim West
[7:00-7:05]
The XPW music plays and with a brilliant pyro technic display. Overload is on the air. The show opens with a clip of Nightmare's main event, where Sabu and Tommy Dreamer defeated Franchise and Chris Candido. It also highlights the entrance of Jerry Lynn and Lo ki into XPW. The clip continues to show what conspired after the main event match had ended. It ends with a shot of RVD, Sabu, and Dreamer standing alone, victoriously in the ring, as the Triple Threat tuck tale and run.
After the clip concludes, the camera focuses in on Joey Styles, the voice of X-treme, with microphone in hand standing center ring. Joey Styles, "Ladies and Gentleman, first off welcome to X-P-W." This gets the chant,"XPW," "XPW," started. Joey Stylesm "Since this show has come into being it has been X-treme, it has been X-Citing, but still it was missing something. At times it has even been X - Austing, having to carry Scott Hudson. All of that is about to change, here... tonight... On X-P-W, without any further delay... I am Joey Styles, and..." Styles is interupted by cheasy 70's porn music, and a familiar voice is heard, as Joel Gertner makes his way to the ring, as the crowd gives him a suprisingly warm welcome back. Joel Getner, "And I Am Joel -I just got done with a two week sex-athon with every single one of the WWE Diva's and they still wan't more-” Gertner!!" The crowd explodes into laughter, and cheers, as Joey Styles and Joel Gertner are reunited as Overload's new announce team. Joel Gertner, "Your quintesential stud muffin has returned to his former boss' creation, and I couldn't be more damn proud. Styles let's get this show started the right way!” Joey Styles, "Ladies and Gentleman... THIS IS Extreme!!!” The fans cheer and chant as the show goes to an early break, with Joel Gertner and Joey Styles looking into the screen.

[7:05 - 7:15]
When the show comes back on Gertner and Styles are all smiles at the announce table. Joey Styles, "How about you take the first intro Joel?"Joel Getner,"Will do Styles, and what a way to kick off my return than with Jerry Lynn, Mr. Jerry Lynn just four short days since his fight with, damn RVD on Nightmare, taking on the smallest little bastard child out of Dudleyville, Pesky Spike Dudley." Joey Styles, “We cant forget that this upcoming match will be a Tables match and by God, who knows what will transpire. Spike Dudley a couple of week’s ago faced Supreme in one hellacious Deathmatch and you have to wonder, how in the hell does he dare challenge, one of the best in the bussiness, Jerry Lynn!”
Table Match
Jerry Lynn versus Spike Dudley
Some pyro explodes on the entrance stage and the twisted demented, runt from the Dudley litter, Spike Dudley makes his way into the ring to a mix reaction from the fans in the arena. “The New F’N Show!!” echos throughout the arena and out steps to a ear shattering ovation, none other than Jerry Lynn. Lynn, obviosly still hurting from his match with RVD, slowly gets into the ring. Spike waste no time going after him, knocking him into the ropes with a quick knee to the side. Spike then chokes him on the ropes briefly, before knocking him back onto the mat and going for a quick pin. Spike doesn't even get a one count, as Jerry easily powers out of it. Spike goes right back to the attack, kicking him, and then giving Lynn some mounted punches to the forehead. Joey Styles,"Little Spike looks like he has really got something to prove, but what? Joel Getner,"I have lower anatomy bigger than Spike Dudley." Joey Styles,"I think I speak for everyone here tonight when I say, we do not need to hear that." Spike continues his assault with a swinging neck breaker, before exiting the ring in search of a table. Jerry Lynn recovers and takes advantage of Spike's early mistake. Jerry Lynn in a rage begins to beat the hell out of Spike. He hits a DDT that leaves Spike laying, and goes for the pin, but the ref doesn't count, informing Lynn that he has to put Spike through a table to win. Jerry Lynn then vacates the ring and goes after a table. He manages to get the table through the ropes and into the ring but as he himself makes his way into the ring, Spike comes diving down on him with a double axe hammer. Spike then tries to hit his "Acid Drop" but Jerry Lynn over powers him and tosses him onto the un set up table. Jerry then slows down the tempo with a rear chin lock. He releases the hold momentarilly onto to lock in a sleeper hold. After a few seconds Spike's head falls limp, and Jerry Lynn goes to ringside to set up another table outside of the ring. Lynn climbs back in the ring and throws Spike into the turnbuckle. Jerry Lynn motions for his Tornado DDT, but Spike gets away and with the leverage manages to side walk slam Jerry Lynn onto the flattened table. Spike then climbs the ropes and goes for a guillotene leg drop from the second rope, but Jerry rolls quickly out of the way and onto the floor to recover. The resiliant Spike springs right up to his feet and hits Jerry Lynn with a baseball slide. Spike goes to the outside to follow up and sets up for another Acid Drop. Spike again fails, and this time is thrown right onto the table, but the table doesn't break and Spike crashes to the floor. A very frustrated looking Jerry Lynn then goes to destroying the table himself, and then beating Spike with a piece of the splintered table. Jerry Lynn then sets up another table in the ring, and retrieves Spike. Lynn sets up in front of the table for a power bomb, but Spike turns the tide with a sunset flip over the back of Jerry Lynn. Spike then continues the offensive by drop kicking Jerry into the table, partially collapsing one side. With the table now at an angle Spike attempts to bull dog Jerry through it but he is countered as Lynn gives him a hard shove in the back sending him flipping into the table, but again not through it. Joey Styles,"Jerry has got to put Spike through the table to win and these tables just aren't breaking.” Joel Getner, "Someone needs to check these tables." Jerry Lynn now becomes more frustrated and jumps up and down in a tantrum. He gathers himself and exits the ring to get a steel chair from ringside. Jerry tries to hit Spike with the chair but the smallest Dudley escapes again and after hitting another drop kick that sends Lynn into the corner, he attempts, yet another Acid Drop, and again fails as he goes sailing onto the mat. Jerry then quickly snatches up the chair and beats his opponent into the corner. Lynn then hits both tables with the chair. Joey Styles, "What the Hell!!!?" Joel Getner, "Mr. Lynn has snapped, and I like what I am seeing!" Jerry Lynn then sets one table atop the other, and continues to bludgeon Spike with the chair. Jerry Lynn then climbs the ropes over top of a propped up Spike Dudley.Joey Styles, "What The Hell!!?, He Wouldn't,Jerry Lynn is going to kill poor Spike Dudley." Lynn picks up Spike and hits a huge super powerbomb off the top rope that send Spike crashing through both tables. 'HOLY SHIT' chants echoe thunderously through the jam packed arena. Joey Styles, "Little Spike is Dead!!!, Jerry Lynn just put him through two tables!" Joel Getner,"And Styles he's not done yet." Jerry Lynn still not satisfied tosses Spike out of the ring crashing through yet another table. EMTs rush to ring side and a very angry Jerry Lynn storms up the ramp to a chorus of boos as we cut to commercial.
Winner via opponent through table, Jerry Lynn in 10:07
(Commercial Break)
[7:15 - 7:30]
[An Advertisement for November To Dissmember runs, it says, “Does who are weak shall perish, a union has been made to stop a Triple Threat! A man’s pride is one the line..A impact will be made and does who fail will be forgotten and dismembered...Sunday, November 17th, dont miss “November to Dismember” live on PPV!]
After the break, a promo runs. It is spotlights circling a blank marquee, to the sounds of System Of A Down's Prison Song. The screen goes black and the music stops and a voice eerilly whispers "He's Coming" and the promo ends.
The audiance just looks on in suspense, not knowing what to expect. The camera then shifts backstage where Jerry Lynn is shown in a dressing room with Tommy Dreamer, RVD, and Sabu, throwing stuff around. There is a crowd pop when these three men are shown. RVD grabs hold of Jerry Lynn, and says "Dude, that wasn't cool, I think you need to chill out, after all not everyone can be as cool as R-V-D,(he does his thumb motions) Jerry Lynn then goes storming right out of the locker room right into Taz. Taz doesn't have time to react as Jerry goes storming down the corridor. Coach then runs up to Taz. Coach, "Taz, hey Paul wants to see you in his office." Coach is out of breath from running.Taz, "For what?"Coach,"I don't know, but he said it was important." Taz,"Whatever" Taz walks away, and the camera goes back down to ringside to Styles and Gertner. Joey Styles, "What the hell is going on here tonight?"Joel Getner,"I know just as well as you do Styles."Joey Styles,"Well what I do know is we have a match coming up next as a result of what happened Monday on Nightmare. Super Crazy is going to take on the overly cocky Kid Kash."
“the XPW instant replay, rolls footage of last Monday’s matches that featured, Psicosis and Super Crazy, with Psicosis putting Crazy through a table from a ladder! And Kid kash going at it with XPW’s newest star, Lo ki, in a deathmatch.”
Joel Getner, “Dont forget Kid kash was put through hell on monday and tonight he must face Super Crazy who also had one sick match, with Psicosis. One of these two men, must win this match, to show dominance going into next sundays, Triple threat ladder match to crown the first ever XPW Cruserweight Champion!” Joey Styles, “Finally you are making some sence...also” Joey's comments are cut off by Kid Rock's Bawitdaba, as Kid Kash makes his entrance to a round of boos from the fans. Kash slowly enters the ring as he is holding his taped up ribs, back, arms and patched up forehead.The mexican challenger, Super Crazy, the man responsible for mutilating the face of Psicosis is already in the ring.
Grudge Match
Kid Kash versus Super Crazy
Kid Kash tries to enter the ring with a chair but the ref stops him. Super Crazy starts off with some early fire works with a missle dropkick, and moonsault that both connect on Kid Kash. The Fire works soon fizzle out as Crazy goes to the well one too many time, and misses a big time 450. Kash somehow manages to get up to his feet and mount an offensive by whipping Crazy to the ropes and sending him flying with a back body drop. Kash then goes up top and hits a big swan-ton on Crazy. Kash stops to talk some trash to the crowd and then goes to work on Crazy's shoulder. Kash sets him up across the top rope, and climbs the turnbuckle again. Kash springs off the top rope and hits a big guillotene leg drop to Crazy, that sends him spring backwards onto the mat. Kash grabs Crazys ankle and drags him to the outside of the ring. Kash proceads by whipping him into the steel ring steps with alot of force. The fans now begin to get more involved in the match. Kash picks up Crazy and attempts to whip him into the ring post but Crazy couters sending Kash into the barracade. Crazy then leaps up onto the apron and then up onto the top rope and attempts a high cross body, but Kash ducks out of the way and Crazy crashes down staddling the barracade. Kash then climbs the turnbuckle and the crowd comes alive, more than ever. Kash springs off the turnbuckle but Crazy falls off the barracade and into the crowd, and Kash misses a big moon sault. Joey Styles, "OH MY GOD" both men are layed out as the ref begins his 10 count. 1... 2...3...4... the ref continues 5... 6... niether man is up yet. 7... another ref comes running down to the ring and stops the count at 8. the ring announcer then announces that Paul Heyman has just made this a falls count anywhere match. Joel Getner,"That Paul Heyman, he will spare nothing." Joey Styles,"And all for the sake of the fans" Joel Getner, "Don't be an ass Joey, its clear he is doing this because of my return." Kash is the first one up from what would have been closer to a 20 count. Super Crazy doesn't trail far behind, as both high flyers seem spent. Both men trade blows as they fight their way through the crowd eventually making their way to the entrance stage. Crazy then takes advantage, although ever so slightly. He hits a couple of fore arm shots to Kid's lower back, and then jumps up onto his shoulders. The crowd comes to their feet as the weight of Super Crazy sends them both tumbling close to the edge of the stage. Super Crazy then quickly spins himself around to the front of Kash and sends him falling off from the stage and down on to some speaker boxes. The crowd goes crazy, as once again the 'HOLY SHIT chant is heard throughout the arena. Not satisfied with just a hurricanrana, Super Crazy leaps off from the stage attempting a 450 from the stage, but Kash somehow, some way, manages to move, and Crazy crashes down onto the boxes. Kash then looks up towards the second level of seats that are directly above the boxes. Kash points up and begins climbing to a huge ovation from the crowd. Joey Styles, "He Wouldn't!" Joel Getner, "Oh, he will, because he is a huge super star in the making." Kash gets all the way to the second level and holds onto a railing for balance. Kash then leaps down to the amazement of the crowd, and hits a gigantic elbow on Super Crazy. Kash hurts himself as well and can barely make the cover. COULD IT BE OVER, 1...2... and as the ref's arm goes down for the three, Super Crazy somehow manages to lift his shoulder. Joel Getner, "How.. In... The... Hell???" Kash rolls onto his back in exhaustion, and both of them struggle to get to their feet. The infamous "ECW" chants now begin, as once again neither man will give in to the other. Super Crazy begins to gain the momentum again. Crazy hits a vertical suplex, onto the cold steel of the entrance stage and then throws Kash into every piece of stage equipment he can find. They make their way to the backstage area to a slight dissapointment of the fans. The brutal fight continues backstage. Crazy continues to use every weapon aroud him. Super Crazy makes his way to a near by fork lift back stage. He starts it up and then gets out to go back to the attack on Kash. Kash tries to fight back with a few weak blows but Crazy belts him with a chair across the side of his head. Super Crazy then lives up to his name by climbing a pop machine of all things and hitting his La Plancha on Kash. The fans begin the XPW! chants yet again as none of them seem to want this match to end. Crazy elects to not go for the pin. Instead he body slams Kid Kash onto the forks of the fork lift, and as Kash leys motionless, Super Crazy mans the controls, and lifts him high into the air. The crowd watches on with oohs and ahhs, and then explode as the fork lift comes through the curtain and onto the stage. Super Crazy drives it dangerously close to the edge and then slowly brings the forks to a slant. Joey Styles, "OH MY GOD, He really is CRAZY!!!" Joel Getner, “Nah, you think!?” The forks move to full tilt and Kid Kash regains consciosness just in time to see himself crash nearly 20 feet off from the stage onto a cement floor. Super Crazy then yells something in spanish, as the crowd chants in unison "HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!" Super Crazy then moves down and gets the pinfall, and the win.
Winner, via pin fall, Super Crazy in 12:19
Joey Styles, "I never thought I would ever say this in XPW, but I can't beleive what I just saw!!!" -Joel Getner, "And I never thought I would say this but, Super Crazy can drive a fork lift!!"
The show shifts gears giving the fans a chance to catch their breath after a truly exsilerating match, and goes to Paul Heyman's office where Taz is just entering. Paul Heyman, "So glad you finnally decided to show up, Taz." Taz, "So whats this all about Paul?" Paul Heyman, "Well Taz, you seem to have a real problem following rules around here, now I know you don't wan't to go back to Vince, although I did enjoy your ringside commentary, so I'm going to teach you a lesson. At November To Dissmember, it is going to be you facing none other than Sandman!" Taz, "What the hell are you thinking Paul?" Paul Heyman, "Oh thats not all TAZ, oh no not at all, I don't think that is enough, Steven could you come out here. Tonight you'll be facing Steven Richards!" Taz reaches over Heyman's desk and puts his hands around his neck. Taz, "You like to play games Paul, You like to play f*cking games?" Richards comes around and super kicks Taz to the floor. The crowd goes nuts and the owner attempts to gather himself when Jerry Lynn comes barging through the door. Lynn, "What the hell is going on Paul, when I agreed to come here, you said you would give me opportunities, you promised me I would be a champion, but all that has happened is i've been in two god damn matches in one work that could've ended my damn career." Heyman "Then if your so un happy here at the home of X Treme than you can go back to Heat, no no no no no I got a better idea how about I bring some heat to you, yeah at the pay per view, It will be you against the biggest star in the industry today! I promised last monday, that someone huge a now former WWE talent would be presenting himself in XPW and staying here also, well at the PPV, next sunday, you will get a first look at him and If you win, you get a Title shot!! but that's all you need to know right now. Now unless you want to end up like Taz, then get the heck out of my office... by the way Jerry... He's Coming.... Soon!"
Jerry Lynn storms away again, and the show goes to break.
(Commercial Break)
([7:30 - 7:45]
After the break the show opens with Joey Styles and Joel Getner, discussing the events that tranpired in the Owner’s office moments ago. Joey Styles, “Steven Richards is back in the land of the extreme and will face Taz tonight, that came from the mouth of XPW owner himself, Paul Heyman.” Joel Getner, “It appears to me, that Paul is having problems and need’s someone to watch his back, so he decided to pull Steven Richards from the pits of hell in WWE and bring him back to his rooots and I think, Richards has a future with Paul Heyman by his side!” Joey Styles, “Maybe he does, but up next, after last mondays grueling Six Man Tag Team Match, a man that is responsible for the attack’s on the Tag Team Champions, will be in action here tonight. The Masked Giant as we like to call him, will be accompanied by the Pitbulls, in a match that was not supposed to take place.” Joel Getner, “Why the hell not!? Because of it being Lo Ki, dont count him out, he could beat the Giant...or maybe not!” Joey Styles, “Not only is Psicosis masked but Lo ki after the scars he suffered at the hands of Kid kash, last monday in a deathmatch, has his faced covered in a series of bandages and was not supposed to wrestle! Whoever booked this match is insane!!”
The Masked Giant with The Pitbulls (Anthony Durante and Gary Wolfe) versus Lo ki
The lights in the arena go out and one shot of light, points to the edge of the entrance stage, a platform lowers and when it comes back up a dark figure pops out and the fans are on their feet for the awesome entrance of Lo ki!! Joey Styles, “This awesome young talent, reminds alot of people of guys like Rob Van Dam and Sabu when they were starting, his entrance, athletecism will guide him to the top! Altough his face has been mutilated also, he did not back out of the challenge of the Masked Giant and this should be incredible!” The crowd pop huge for Lo ki, but the cheer’s turn to jeers as The Masked Giant heads down to the ring accompanied by The Pitbulls, to their own entrance theme, “Bottled up Inside” by Korn. The match starts out with The Giant completly dominant, as he tosses Lo Ki all over the ring, suplexing him from corner to corner. The masked Giant meticulously stalks him all around the ring. Giant spends more time taunting the crowd then he does actually wrestling. The Giant hits a huge chokeslam with ease at center ring and then non chalantly covers LoKi with his foot rested upon his chest. The ref administers a two count before, Lo Ki manages to raise a shoulder off the mat! Masked Giant then drops a big elbow onto the chest of Lo Ki and attempts another pin fall. Lo Ki kicks out at two again but this time is more convincing. Giant picks him up and tosses him to the ropes and attempts to drop lo Ki with a huge boot, but Loki ducks under and hits a low blow on the massive Giant, and rolls out of the ring. Lo Ki tries to gather himself but is un able to because Gary Wolfe gets in some cheap shots on his ribs, as Durante distracts the ref. Lo Ki gets rolled back into the ring, and The Masked Man once again goes to work, and once again does more trash talking than wrestling. Giant press slams Lo Ki onto the mat and turns his back to taunt the crowd. With the window of opportunity open Lo Ki lunges forward and clips the right knee of the masked Giant, sending him falling to his knees. He gets right back up, only to get a dropkick to the same knee that sends him back down to his knees. Lo Ki then hits another big dropkick this time landing it on the leather mask of the giant, and sending him onto his back. Lo Ki climbs the ropes and hits a diving clothesline as the Giant struggles to get back up. Lo Ki goes back up top but this time the Pitbulls come into play, and send him falling, crushing his manhood on the top turnbuckle. Giant takes advantage tying Lo Ki up in the tree of woe. Wolfe distracts the referee again, as Durante, and the masked one stomp a mud hole in the prone Lo Ki. The Eliminators come out and stand on the entrance stage with titles in hand, and watch the match. The crowd noise picks up with their appearance. The Giant continues to work on Lo Ki and hits the Power Bomb, but notices Saturn and Kronus watchin on. As the Giant has his back turned towards the tag team champs, Lo Ki somehow manages to roll him up from behind. Lo Ki has the match won until Durante gets involved, and breaks up the count. The ref calls for the bell as the Eliminators rush towards the ring. Saturn and Kronus lay out the pitbull, with the titles, and then go to attacking the Giant. Saturn and Kronus hit the Total Elimination on The Masked Giant. They gather up Lo Ki and exit the ring. As they make their way up the ramp Saturn stops. Perry Saturn, "Hey Durante, Wolfe, we'll see the two of you at November To Dissmember!! You want our titles we want to kick your asses, and if you bring that freak with you we'll eliminate him too. You wanted your match, well you have got it." John Kronus, “I hope your prepared to be Tottally Eliminated!"
Winner, via DQ: Lo Ki ( 8:23 )
Joey Styles, "What an announcement, The PitBulls and The Eliminators at November To Dissmember!!" Joel Getner, ”The only thing more bad ass than a Giant, is a pissed off Giant, and you can bet your sweet ass, He will be pissed off all the way up to the pay per view."
The camera shifts to the locker room of the triple threat. The audience releases a barrage of jeers at the sight of the Tripl threat. Shane Douglas, "Buelah, all I am asking you to do is to convince Heyman, to put Dreamer in the match. Look at you, a fat pig of a man like Paul Heyman won't be able to resit you." Beulah, "Well I guess I can do it, if its to get rid of Tommy once and for all." Vader, "It's Time.. IT'S VADER TIME!" The camera goes back out to Styles and Gertner. Joey Styles, "What, Who, Who the hell were they talking about???, Getting rid of Tommy Dreamer?" Joel Getner, "Not a bad idea!"
(Commercial Break)
[ 7:45 – 8:00]
After the break the camera is following Sabu and Bill Alphonso into Paul Heyman's office. Sabu, "PAAAULLL!, I wan't a match with Candido, I wan't to take his TV Title away from him!" Bill Alfonso, "and tonight, we wan't that title tonight." Paul Heyman, "Well, I can't do that you see, because I already have a main event booked for tonight featuring Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer, and Rob Van Dam. That title will also be up for grabs at November To Dissmember, when you Sabu take on none other than the pompous ass, Chris Candido, and to keep the triple threat out of your way, your gonna do it in a steel cage, how is that?" Alfonso, "A cage wont keep them away, it would be three on one, it wouldn't be..." Sabu interupts, "Lets put barbed wire on the top of the cage, that way no one gets in, and no one gets out!!!" HEYMAN-"How about I make the rules. We'll put barbed wire on the top of the cage so no one can get in, and no one gets out!, Im glad I came up with that. Go tell your boys to get ready for the match." The camera goes back to the announce table as the fans erupt over the announcement of the barbed wire clad cage match, just signed for the upcoming pay per view. Joey Styles, "Another huge match added to the card for November To Dissmember, and how many more will be added before the end of the night?" Joel Getner "and its all because of the arrival of..." STYLES-"We know, We Know, Joel Gertner, ya' ya' " Joel Getner, "Whether or not this sack of crap, momma's boy want's to admit it or not, we have a huge match up next between Taz, and the boy I would've raised as my own if the rotty wouldn't have beaten me over the fence, Steven Richards, and it's all because the quintasential stud muffin himself, Joel Gertner, has arrived in XPW." Joey Styles, "It's next."
Taz's entrance theme hits as smoke fills the ramp way, and Taz makes his entrance to a showering of boos. Taz gets in the ring and gets ahold of a mic. TAZ "Steven, you think your pretty f*cking good right now don't you. Let's see how good you feel when I choke your ass out. Get out here if you dare, survive if I let you!" The Song Keep Em' Seperated by Offspring plays as Steven Richards enters the arena to a mixed reaction as most of the cheers are because he is the opponent of Taz
"The Human Suplex Machine" Taz versus Steven Richards
Richard's gets a knee to the mid section as he climbs through the ropes. Taz then hits a release german suplex on him sending him across the ring. Taz immediately locks on the Taz-Mission, but Richards is easily able to get to the ropes. Taz keeps the hold locked all the way to a four count before releasing it. Taz then uses the ropes for leveredge as he stomps on the lower back of Steven Richards. Taz then administers a chokehold against the ropes on Richards, for another four count before breaking the hold. Taz then climbs out of the ring ang gets in Richard's face. Taz slaps him a few times and then spits in his face. The boos from the crowd rain heavilly on Taz. Taz continuosly stops to insult the crowd. Richards, gets to Taz from behind and attempts a belly to back suplex, but taz counters and hits a huge T-Bone suplex onto the floor. Taz throws Richards back into the ring but again gets distracted by the relentlessly harsh crowd. As Taz climbs into the ring Richards gets the advantage, and scores with a chin breaker that sends Taz crashing onto the floor. Taz gets to one knee, and checks himself for blood. A fan in the front row seems to be giving Taz a hard time, and Taz gets in his face spilling the fans beer. Taz then flips him off, and turns around just in time to get nailed with a baseball slide compliments of Steven Richards. Richards then gets a beer from another fan and dumps it all over Taz, to a good ovation before rolling him back into the ring. Richards locks a camel clutch on, and refuses to release the hold. Steven whips Taz into the turnbuckle and then hits a big monkey flip, tossing Taz out of the corner and into center ring. Richards locks on another camel clutch, this time at center ring, and Taz struggles to get to the ropes. When he finally gets there Richards again refuses to release the hold until the last second. The pace of the match has became very slow moving and the fans are silent until Richards raises a steel chair high into the air. The crowd gets excited for a moment until, the ref snags the chair away from him and recieves a shower of boos for his effort. Richards in a rage begins to kick the shit out of Taz, booting him out of the ring and onto the floor. The crowd begins a low chant of "boring." Richards then looks out to them and yells "Oh Yeah" as he hits a baseball slide that knocks him onto the announce table. Joey Styles, "What the hell, get off the table." Joel Getner,"It's just like I remember Styles...bodies everywhere!" Richards then leaps over the ropes and hits Taz with a flying cross body that crushes the table and sends both of them to the floor!!! Styles "Our announce table is destroyed, Richards and Taz are out." Taz gets up to his feet first suprisingly, as Richards holds his ribs in pain. Taz crawls briefly into the ring to break the count and then right back out again. Taz grabs a chair, which is legal outside of the ring and lays it hard across Steven's rib cage. The chair shot echoes, as does a loud ooooh, throughout the crowd. Taz then threatens the obnoxious fan with the chair before again breaking the count. Richards, although in pain makes his way to his feet, and knocks the chair away from Taz. Richards then goes under the ring for a weapon, and as Taz walks up behind him Richards sprays him with a fire exstinguisher and Taz falls backwards onto the broken pieces of wood from the announce table. Joey Styles, "We have got to go to break, what the hell?"
(Commercial Break)
(8:00 - 8:10)
When the show comes back the action has once again returned to the ring and both men even. A replay is shown on a split screen view of Taz suplexing Richards onto a chair. In the ring Taz sets up Richards for a super plex but Richards blocks it and pushes Taz to the mat. Taz gets up, and out of nowhere a very weakened Steven Richards hits a super kick on Taz, flooring him. Taz hangs under the ropes half in the ring and half out. The ref then turns to the obnoxios fan who is now distracting the ref. As Richards approaches Taz, Taz pulls a glass vase from beneath the ring a shatters it on the skull of Steven Richards. Taz then slaps on the Taz-Mission in center ring. Styles, "TAZ-MISSION, TAZ-MISSION, TAZ_MISSION." Steven Richards tries fighting out of the move but to no avail, Taz makes Steven Richards tap out, just like Terry Funk made Taz tap out last monday night!
Winner via submission, Taz in 12:02
The camera goes backstage where Buelah is entering the office of XPW owner Paul Heyman. Beulah, "Can I talk to you Mr. Heyman?" Heyman, "Please you can call me Paul." then with a flirtacious smile on his face "what is it?" Buelah then precariously positions herself on Pauls lap, and Paul doesn't mind at all. " Well I was just hoping that you could put Tommy in a match, with Vader at November To Dissmember, I don't know what I would do to re pay you." Buelah, bats her eyebrows at Paul. Heyman, "Consider It Done." Buelah changes tones and begins to leave the office. Heyman, "Oh, and one more thing tell your guys to get ready, they have got a match tonight!" Buelah leaves and Paul gets up from behind the desk. He looks down towards his mid section then rolles his eyes. Heyman, “Damn Buelah, now that crap kicks in right before I make the main event announcement. Heyman reaches downstairs and looks to be tucking away. Styles is then heard. "What in the hell, who does he think he is Vince McMahon?" the crowd laughter is defening as the show goes to break.
( Commercial Break )
[8:10-8:30]
After the break Paul Heyman makes his way to the ring with his "problem" apparently well in hand, no pun intended. He enters the ring with mic in hand and to a loud ovation from the crowd as the XPW chants begin. Heyman, "Thank You, I am here to announce that tonight for your main event. A main event so big you will only see it on XPW. tonight the Triple Threat, without, WITHOUT! anyone else will have a six man tag match, against the team of Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, and Sabu!!! Who has got the power now Shane? On another note, coming soon, only to XPW, someone who has taken our sport to the next level, someone who will take our sport to an even higher level, an astronomical level. The most dominant force in wrestling today, will be right here on XPW. All will be revealed in due time. It won't be tonight, It may be on Monday, it may be next Thursday, or I might just wait till November To Dissmember when I put him up against Jerry Lynn. Also at November To Dissmember, in addition to RVD and Franchise, Tommy Dreamer will face Vader, And Sabu will have a title shot against Chris Candido in a Steel Cage, topped with razor sharp barbed wire. As for you Beulah, I gave you the match you wanted. If you cause Dreamer to lose or interfere in any way whatsoever, you will be locked in that cage with Dreamer, the next day on Nightmare!! Heyman walks out of the ring to a monsterous ovation from the crowd. Joel Getner, “What!? So that means Beulah is banned from ringside!” Joey Styles, “Are you doubting Vader’s ability against Tommy Dreamer?” Joel Getner, “No, I would never doubt Vader, a multiple time wCw World Champion, can break Dreamer in half and Tommy Dreamer does not stand a chance, period!” Joey Styles, “We will se about that next sunday! But up next, get ready cause the Deathmath countinues, Balls Mahoney versus Supreme in a war!!” Joel Getner, “Keep in mind, the ring is surrounded by plywood with nails stuck in it, barbwire tables, there are tumbtacks and a pool of lightbulbs has been set up near the bottom of the entrance ramp! This should be sick!” Joey Styles, “Get ready, because the time is now!”
Tournament
King of the Deathmatch
Semi-Finals
Supreme versus Balls Mahoney
“I feel so bad...I feel so Numb...YEAH!!” The over 300 pounder yet athletic, self proclaimed King of the Deathmatch, makes his way down the ramp and into the ring to a big pop from the crowd. As the camera goes around ringside revealing all the different types of deadly weapons and props for the deathmatch! Ac/Dc’s “Big Balls” Is heard and the fans sing the song along to the entrance of Balls Mahoney, wich also earns him a loud pop. Supreme already in the ring, meet’s Balls Mahoney with a clothesline making him drop of the ring apron to the outside. Supreme climbs out of the ring and both behemoths exchange fist for around a entire minute! Balls Mahoney gains the advantage and sends Supreme into the metal ring post. Supreme stumbles back and Mahoney look’s for a clothesline but Supreme wobbles out of the way and Balls’ arm connects with the ring post. Supreme lifts Balls from behind with a back body drop and lets him fall onto the pool of shattered lightbulbs!!! The crowd pop for the move as Balls Mahoney rolls out of the pool of lightbulls with some pieces stuck to his skin and blood pouring mostly out of his arms. Supreme grabs Balls Mahoney by the head and bites his forehead before rolling him into the ring. Supreme climbs to the top turnbuckle and dives onto his opponent with a hellacious splash!!! He has the cover and Balls Mahoney, living up to his name, gets the shoulder up. Supreme irish whip’s Mahoney into the corner wich had a piece of wood, wich was held there by barbwire that also covered the wood!! Balls screams out in pain as his back is busted open! Supreme lifts Balls over his head and drops him with a powerslam! He does not cover and instead rolls out of the ring and slides a chair out from underneath the ring, that has barbwire wrapped around it. He places it on the ring apron and before climbing in the ring, he places a Table on the outside and covers it with around 100 thumbtacks that fell out of the bag. Joey Styles, “What must he be thinking this is sick!” Supreme climbs onto the ring apron but does not notice Balls Mahoney with the chair wrapped in barbwire, that strikes him over the head!!! The chair stays stuck into the bald head of Supreme and the big man, collapses onto the Table with thumbtacks, breaking it and going through it!! The fans begin a “Holy Shit!” chant. Balls Mahoney lifts his fist in the air to a loud pop, and climbs out of the ring, he pulls Supreme out of the ruble of wood and thumbtacks and rolls him into the ring, before dragging from underneath a glass chart and a Table, once more. He slides both objects into the ring, before setting up the Table in the middle with the Glass shart over it...Supreme is up and Balls nails him with some consecutive right hands to the head and sends him into the ropes, catching him with a outstanding super kick!!
Supreme goes down hard and Balls Mahoney slowly climbs to the top turnbuckle. Supreme stands up and Balls dive off looking for what appears to be a double axe handle, but Supreme catches him and throws him over his head with a Belly to Belly suplex, putting him through the Table covered in glass!!! Styles, “OH MY GOD!!! He must be dead!!” The fans cannot bealive it as Supreme finds a way to cover the man, with “big balls” one...two...thr, Balls kicks out!! Supreme hits the ring in frustration and climbs over the top rope to the outside, he grabs a plywood covered in nails and places it inside the ring, he slides in only to be met by some hard shots to the head, by Balls Mahoney. He shoves Supreme into the corner, where he climbs to the second rope and from his shorts, pulls out a metal object. Joel Getner, “It look’s like even Balls, wants a piece of the studd muffing, he has a fork!!” Balls Mahoney begins to dig into the skull of Supreme, making blood gush out of the big man’s forehead. Balls, does this around 15 times and Supreme is covered in blood, Balls goes onto bite the open wound, then hook’s Supreme in a front face lock and scores with a DDT off the second rope, driving Supreme’s head into the a pile of glass, that is left in the ring!! Balls Mahoney places the plywood with nails, laying across the corner and goes onto irish whip, his deadly opponent onto it!! Supreme rolls out of the ring in pain and grabs a steel chair, before letting out a scream of anger! Balls climbs out of the ring and Supreme gives him one hellacious chairshot to the head, sending him stumbling around the ring, finally dropping over the security barrier and near the first row of fans! Security holds the ringside fans in their respective seating lines as Supreme goes onto viciously deliver several chairshots to the head and back of Mahoney!! Supreme and Balls Mahoney reach near the exit of the ringside area, and out of desperationg, the very bloody and decimated Balls, gives Supreme a kick to the groin, section! Balls goes onto suplex Supreme to the concrete showing great strenght. Both men remain on the concrete floor for around a minute, before Balls Mahoney grabs Supreme and they walk back, closer to the ringside area but this time, its near the entrance stage.

(Commercial Break)
[8:30 - 8:40]
When we return the words “moments ago” read across the bottom of the screen, as a shot of Sabu layed out in the parking lot in a pool of his own blood, and tangled in barbed wire. The scene switches to live where an ambulance is standing by, and RVD and Dreamer watch as Sabu gets taken away in the ambulance. Dreamer then notices Sandman standing back watching the whole thing. Dreamer approaches Sandman. Tommy Dreamer, "Did you see what happened here?" Sandman, "I saw Candido around here a while ago." Dreamer, "Soon as I get a hold of that little bitch im gonna make him pay." The triple threat then walks onto the scene. Shane Douglas, "Tommy, do you really think Chris would do something like this?" Dreamer, "Your damn right I do Shane." Candido, "Well maybe he should be careful what he wishes for." Dreamer tries to go after Candido but RVD holds him back, RVD, "Tommy, be cool, If i know Sabu, and I do he'll be back, besides our match is next, and then we get them in the ring." The scene shifts back to Styles and Gertner, who recap the nights events. Joey Styles, "What a night here on Thursday Night Overload, Four matches have been made for November To Dissmember, We had the debut of Steven Richards, We saw a brutal match between Super Crazy and Kid Kash, and we saw Supreme advance down the King Of The Death Match Tournament." Joel Gertner, "And Styles don't forget about the return of Joel Gertner!" Joey Styles, "Speaking of return, when we return how in the world will Dreamer and Van Dam be able to beat the Triple Threat without Sabu?"
(Final Break)
[8:40 - 9:00]
After the break, Breaking Point’s "One Of A Kind" plays and out come The Whole F*ckin' Show, and The Innovator Of Violence, to an enormous reaction from the crowd. The crowd's excitement is soon cut short when “Perfect Strangers” by Deep Purple plays and the XPW World Champion, Shane Douglas, the XPW Television Champion, Chris Candido and The Mastodon of Wrestling, Vader come out accompanied by Beulah Mcgillicuty, Lizzie Borden and Tammy Lynn Stych all 3 women, are staying close to their men, in some very revealing outfits! The Triple Threat head down the ramp to a tremendous amount of heat from the crowd. They enter the ring with more of a cocky swagger than normal, knowing they have a man advantage. RVD, and Tommy Dreamer don't think they are at a disadvantage and they go right after all three members of the triple threat. Dreamer and Van Dam do well short handed, and clear the ring. Van Dam gets to his corner, and Vader gets into the ring and Dreamer and Vader get things started with a collar and elbow tie up. Vader powers Dreamer to the mat and laughs at him. The two then tie up again, and again the same result. Tommy then walks towards Van Dam and Vader tags in Candido, as Candido enters the match for the first time, Dreamer fakes the tag and tackles Candido and begins taking it to him with rapid punches. Vader comes in, gets by the ref and kicks Dreamer in the head the ref restrains him, and Candido and Dreamer face off. Candido whips Dreamer into the ropes and hits a textbook back body drop. Candido drops a leg and then spins around for a quick cover, but pulls Dreamer up. They make their way to the threat's corner and a tag to Vader allows for a quick double team. Vader points at RVD, and motions for him to get in the ring as he choke tosses Tommy to his partner. RVD then gets in the ring, and dies up with Vader and he too gets knocked to the mat, as Vader laughs. RVD then ties up with him again but this time RVD outsmarts him and takes the Mastadon down with a leg sweep, and then keeps him down with a leg drop. Vader doesn't stay down for long, but RVD keeps his head spinning with a series of quick kicks, and hit and go attacks. RVD sets up and hits the rolling thunder on Vader before tagging in his partner Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer tries to suplex the massive Vader but is unsuccesful in doing so. Tommy abandons the suplex attack, and resorts to holds. Locking in an arm bar, followed by a sleeper hold, that turns the momentum back in the favor of the triple threat when Vader powers out of the sleeper and smashes Dreamer into the corner. Vader tags in Franchise for the first time and Franchise goes to work. Franchise is a ble to have his way with Dreamer, hitting a big reverse neck breaker in center ring, before giving it back to Candido. Tommy seems to re generate with the tagging of Candido and fights his way outof the corner, and making his way over to tag in RVD. A pumped up RVD takes on all three men as they each take turns making a run at him. Tommy Dreamer makes his way back into the ring and helps out his undermanned teammate. Tommy and RVD clear the ring again, and send the Triple Threat reeling. Candido gets back into the ring with RVD and gets a momentary advantage and whips Rob to the turnbuckle, but RVD quickly shifts the momentum back by running up the turnbuckle and hitting a back heel kick. Candido luckily falls close to his own corner and the confrontation everyone has waited for arrives as Franchise faces off with Rob Van Dam. Frachise and RVD size each other up, but much to the dismay of the fans, Franchise tags in Vader. Vader comes in and turns the tide on Van Dam with sheer power. Vader slows down the much faster Van Dam with three consecutive back breakers. Vader tosses RVD into the corner and sets up for the Vader Bomb, but RVD escapes and makes the tag to The Innovator of violence. Tommy gets dominated by the man called Vader, and with Dreamer down Franchise jumps at the chance to get in the ring. As Tommy gets put through a series of sleeper holds, headlocks, rear chin locks, RVD starts up a chant of "Tommy' Tommy' Tommy" as he tries to rally for the tag. Franchise arougantly picks up Dreamer, but Dreamer catches him off gaurd with a low blow that brings Franchise to his knees in agony. Dreamer then lunges to the Triple threats corner knocking Candido off the apron and onto the barracade. Tommy then decks Vader but only manages to piss him off. Vader comes in the ring. Tommy gets away from him long enough to tag in the anxious RVD. Van Dam goes directly for Franchise, and hits a huge step over spin kick, followed by the rolling thunder. Vader gets ahold of Dreamer and tosses him into the corner right into the referee knocking the ref down and out. Vader and Dreamer then spill onto the floor. After hitting the Rolling Thunder RVD hops upto the top turnbuckle and hits the 5 star frog splash to a massive eruption of cheers from the crowd. Styles, “RVD HAS GOT IT!!!” Van Dam covers but the ref is still down. On the outside of the ring Vader hits a devastating powerbomb to Tommy Dreamer that looked as if it broke him in half. Candido then gets in the ring and lays out Van Dam with the TV title. Candido then pulls Franchise onto Van Dam and Vader rolls the ref into the ring. The referee counts, the fans are on their feet, One...Two...Three!!! And The Triple Threat defeat the short handed Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer.
