Live from the Conseco Fieldhouse - Indianapolis, Indiana!
Backstage at Impact, Steve Sayors is shown standing beside Zane Byers.
Steve Sayors: Zane Byers, you’re one of the three newcomers to XWF taking part in the X-treme rules Triple Threat Match later tonight. How do you feel about being thrown right into such an unruly, chaotic environment for your debut?
Zane Byers: Steve, this is hardly the unruliest, most chaotic environment I’ve set foot in. You see, you folks know very, very little about me; and I like it that way. Let’s just say, I spent a lot of time training for matches exactly like this one.
Steve: How exactly can you train for a fight against two other men where there are no rules?!
Zane (with a chuckle): Let’s not worry about HOW I’ve done it, ok? Let’s just say, I’m ready. Fighting against two men with no rules sure seems a helluva lot safer than fighting against 35 men with no rules, does it not?
With that, Zane Byers, smug look on his face, walks away from the confounded looking Sayors.
Steve: Well folks, I’m not sure exactly what in the world he’s talking about, but there are certainly no first time jitters on the part of XWF rookie Zane Byers.

WRESTLER 82
X-treme Rules, 1 Fall
With each man in his separate corner, the referee calls for the opening bell. Zane Byers finds out soon that he'll be singled out by both Wrestler82 and John Madison. 82 attacks Zane with some punches which bring Zane down to one knee. Meanwhile, John comes up from behind to deliver a single kick, and poses for the crowd right after. 82 clearly isn't impressed with John's lack of effort, and throws him out of the ring.
With John out of the ring, 82 can put forth his full effort into breaking Zane. 82 places Zane in the center of the ring with a Sidewalk Slam. An early pin attempt is broken as 82 follows with a side headlock. Meanwhile, John is digging under the ring for some goodies to bring into the Xtreme Rules match. He throws a fire extinguisher, steel chair, and trash can into the ring. He also picks up a bundle of loose wire which he carries with him into the ring. John takes that wire and wraps it around 82's throat to choke him from behind. 82 is forced to release Zane as John attempts to choke him out with the loose cable. 82 is fading fast as John continues to choke him.
Meanwhile, Zane has recovered and taken advantage of utilizing the weapons nearby. He takes the fire extinguisher and rams it into John's head. At that moment, 82 falls to the mat in a heap after being released from John's choke hold. Zane slams the fire extinguisher down into the back of John. He also drops John back first onto the fire extinguisher with a neck breaker. Zane rolls over on top of John for some mounted punches. He hits several on John before retrieving a set of brass knuckles from inside his ring gear. John shakes his head, pleading with him not to use them as Zane equips the knucks and holds them up high. But just as Zane is about to throw down a brass-infused punch, the massive hand of Wrestler82 reaches down to take Zane by the neck! 82 pulls Zane off of his feet and drops him with a choke slam. However, John has managed to retrieved the brass knuckles, and hits Wrestler82 as he turns around.
Madison falls on top of 82 for a pin attempt. Zane shoves Madison off of him, but it may not have been in time. Zane is relieved as he looks up to see the ref only holding up two fingers. Shortly after, John walks into a spinebuster from Zane. Zane then transitions into a boston crab. John reaches out for a rope break, but Zane drags him to the center of the ring. John looks like he's ready to tap, but he's saved by Wrestler82 who hits Zane in the back with a steel chair. 82 tries to follow up with a second chair shot, but Zane ducks out of the way and delivers a spear. Zane now has the steel chair in his possession as he waits for either man to get up. Both 82 and John recover at the same time. Zane swings the chair at John, but John pulls 82 into the chair shot, using him as a human shield. John charges at Zane for a roaring elbow, but Zane hits him with the steel chair. Zane crawls over to cover John for a pin attempt, but it is broken by 82's boot which hits Zane in the side of the head.
82 is now in full control as he throws Zane into a bear hug. Meanwhile, John Madison is kneeling down in the corner, spent, trying to regain his strength.
With Zane being constricted in the center of the ring by Wrestler82's bear hug, John manages to make it to his feet in the corner. John pulls a small, unidentifiable canister out of his ring gear.
He walks up to Wrestler82 and sprays him in the face with what appears to be pepper spray!
Wrestler82 falls to one knee, and buries his face into the pit of his arm. He tries to reach out with his other hand to detect John's position, but John is smartly keeping his distance. John removes Zane from the ring by giving him a clothesline over the top rope. He then sizes up a blinded Wrestler82, waits for the perfect moment, and takes him down with the Rebellion (Rock Bottom). The cover...1...2...THREE!
Winner: John Madison
Zane was too late rushing back into the ring to break up the count! Madison must not like how close he came though BECAUSE NOW ZANE IS GETTING PEPPER SPRAY IN THE FACE TOO! The fans are booing tremendously as Madison leaves the ring while both of his opponents are checked on my medical staff.
As Madison walks up the ramp we are shocked by the sudden appearance of Shane Carver from the back! Madison stops several feet away from Carver as he listens to what he has to say...
CARVER: Bravo! That's just what I like to see! Using pepper spray to win matches and temporary blind both of your competitors is exactly what I like to see. Oh, oh wait... no it's not. It's something that anybody could do. I mean this damned POTATO could do that! It takes no skill!
Carver holds up a potato but then wiggles it while also acting like he can hear it saying something...
CARVER: I apologize, Potato... You're right... Even you would know better than to use pep... AHHH!
Madison is spraying Carver in the face with the pepper spray too! The fans can't believe it!!!
Shane Carver drops the potato and ends up falling off of the stage and into a bunch of hard-to-identify equipment. Lots of sparks shoots up and some lighting fixtures fall down on top of him as the fans look on in absolute horror! Officials rush to check on Shane Carver and get him out from all the debris as fast as possible as the fans continue to boo John Madison relentlessly.
BAM!
Zane Byers from behind! John Madison goes flying off of the side as well, landing right into the same pile as Shane Carver and all those officials! Zane can still hardly see and is coughing and choking a little still from the pepper spray but he was able to see just enough to catch Madison by surprise! This is far from over between these men!

KIMBERLEIGH ALVES
- vs -
MR. NATURAL (W/ Celebrity at ringside)
TOMMY WISH
RILEY KINKAID
3 on 3 Tag, 1 Fall
If WISH or KINKAID no-show this week, they're fired!
SUMMARY: Our tag team champions along with Kimberleigh Alves showed up in full force and seemed to be on the same page throughout this match. Decker and Alves worked exceptionally well together to the point of Hatcher almost being caught off guard by it. On the opposing team we saw Mr. Natural and Tommy Wish put up a valiant effort even without their now FIRED tag team partner, Riley Kinkaid.
Midway through the match, Mr. Natural was able to break up a big pin attempt after a huge double team maneuver was executed on Tommy Wish. This match has seen a lot of BOTF's doubleteam moves come into play along with some creative combinations from Decker and Alves. Mr. Natural breaks up the pin at this point and when Hatcher runs in to attack him, Natural catches him with a Natural Selection! (RKO) Mr. Natural also catches Alves with the same move!
Mr. Natural is on fire! ..........until Decker catches him with a dropkick right to the face that sends Natural to the outside and causes his nose to start bleeding! At this point Decker seizes the moment and hits Tommy Wish with a devastating BACK TO THE FUTURE! (spinning impaler) Decker goes for the cover and picks up the win for his team!
Winners: Decker, Hatcher, Alves
PETER GILMOUR
- vs -
ANTHONY DOUGLAS
X-treme Rules
SUMMARY: The name X-TREME is certainly lived up to in THIS match! Right from the start we saw Gilmour bring the first weapon into play by actually making his entrance with a 2x4 that had barbed wire wrapped around it! As soon as Douglas saw him walking to the ring with it, he went under the ring apron as fast as he could and produced a kendo stick along with a trash can lid!
Gilmour lets out a roar as he rushes toward Douglas and swings the barbed wire 2x4 but it's deflected by the trash can lid! WHACK! Kendo stick to Gilmour's head and then the trash can lid smashed into his face! Douglas ends up getting the barbed wire 2x4 from him and he begins beating him with that as well! There is actually a point in this match where officials call a stop to it as they check on Gilmour because of how much blood he's losing from so many places on his body and face. Anthony Douglas has very little patience for this and the very split second that the match is restarted, Douglas is already smashing a steel chair over Gilmour's head!
Midway through the match... The lights suddenly begin to flicker on and off very rapidly! Both Peter Gilmour and Anthony Douglas seem concerned as they look around the arena unsure of what could be happening. After a few more seconds the lights go completely BLACK...
There -- up on the X-Tron -- a name appears in RED...
Donathan Alphonse Francois De Sade
But the name is crossed out!
After a few more seconds the red letters shatter and now the same exact name is in a bright, glowing white with beams of light shooting outward from each letter. The lights in the arena return to normal and... everything's the same. Nobody has been touched... Gilmour and Douglas look around for a second, still confused and expecting an attack from anywhere until they finally turn their attention back to each other and continue brawling!
The final moments of this match see it return to the center of the ring where Gilmour is a bloody mess! It's actually disturbing how bloody he is as he still is trying to fight back! Douglas blocks a sloppy right hand from Gilmour and then goes to hit the High Noon on Gilmour but Douglas loses his own footing and crumples to the canvas?!?!?!?!? What just happened? The camera zooms in closer and we see that a dart is sticking out of Douglas' thigh! Where did it even come from!? Douglas angrily pulls the dark out of his leg and violently tosses it out into the sea of fans! Oh my god!
Gilmour pulls Douglas up, lands a quick punch to Douglas' gut and then out of nowhere lands a Gilmour Cutter! Gilmour covers Douglas and right at the exact moment the ref's hand hits the 3 count, Douglas also kicks out! The ref counts the fall! Douglas was just a fraction of a second too late kicking out!
Winner: Peter Gilmour
Douglas shoves Gilmour off of him and gets up to hit the High Noon! (Diamond Cutter) He follows it up with a few kicks to Gilmour's face as more officials rush out to get things under control! It doesn't appear that Douglas was drugged but the dart was still enough to distract him at that crucial turning point here tonight!
MIKE MAYHEM
& JOHN CABLE
- vs -
SCORPIUS
Standard Tag, 1 Fall
After a quick discussion between MAYHEM and CABLE, it will be MAYHEM starting things off against SCORPIUS. The two lock up in the center of the ring and MAYHEM catches SCORPIUS with a quick knee to the midsection and he follows it up by pushing SCORPIUS all the way back into the turnbuckle. MAYHEM know rears back and SMACK! MAYHEM unloads on SCORPIUS with a vicious knife edge chop but wait a second, SCORPIUS IS SMILING AND SHAKING HIS HEAD NO! SMACK! MAYHEM unleashes another knife edge chop to the chest of SCORPIUS but again SCORPIUS smiles and shakes it off. MAYHEM reaches back to unleash a third chop but SCORPIUS grabs MIKE and throws him into the corner. SMACK, SMACK, SMACK! SCORPIUS unleashes three knife edge chops of his own that leave MIKE MAYHEM clutching at his chest. SCORPIUS now grabs MAYHEM and lifts him high above his head with a beautiful military press slam.
AAOOOOOOOOWW!!
SCORPIUS lets out one of his primal yells and the crowd goes wild as SCORPIUS turns his attention to MIKE MAYHEM who is trying to make it back to his feet. SCORPIUS grabs MIKE and whips him into the ropes, VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE! SCORPIUS turns MIKE MAYHEM inside out with a brutal clothesline from hell but then gets nailed from behind by a beautiful bulldog from JOHNATHAN CABLE. The referee is signaling that that a tag was made, CABLE must have reached out and tagged himself in as MAYHEM bounced off the ropes and SCORPIUS didn’t see it. MAYHEM gets to his feet and helps CABLE connect on a double suplex to SCORPIUS before the referee forces him out of the ring. SCORPIUS is no doubt regretting agreeing to a handicapped match with the numbers game already coming back to bite him in the stinger early on in this match. CABLE now hits SCORPIUS with a couple of well placed stomps before scooping him up and putting him right back down with a piledriver. JOHNATHAN wastes no time transitioning right into an ankle lock but SCORPIUS immediately grabs the ropes and the referee is forced to break it up. JOHNATHAN once again stays on the attack pulls SCORPIUS to his feet but this time SCORPIUS lunges at CABLE and connects with a head butt right to his face. SCORPIUS now with a fall forward face… no blocked by CABLE who hip tosses SCORPIUS halfway across the ring. SCORPIUS had CABLE’s weakness scouted but CABLE just killed any momentum SCORPIUS had built up. CABLE now walks over to his corner and tags in MIKE MAYHEM, smart move to keep both men fresh. MAYHEM enters the ring and keeps the relentless attack on SCORPIUS going by scooping him up and HOLY SHIT! MIKE MAYHEM sends SCORPIUS sailing over the top rope with a fall away slam and SCORPIUS hits the floor hard. SCORPIUS is stirring after that one but just barely, as a matter of fact he’s crawling…. Under the ring?
SCORPIUS vanishes underneath the ring leaving MIKE MAYHEM, JOHNATHAN CABLE, and the referee to blankly stare at each other. All of a sudden the ring begins to shake so bad that the referee loses his footing and ends up falling right on his ass. CABLE and MAYHEM have to grab the ropes to end up suffering the same fate, what the hell is going on? The ring now stops shaking and SCORPIUS emerges from underneath the ring looking like a new man, what’s that he’s got in his hand? Oh shit… IT’S A WENDY’S TRIPLE STACK! Wait, I thought he liked whoppers right? SCORPIUS rolls into the ring with the burger in one hand and is greeted by a kick to the face by MAYHEM as he rolls in BUT SCORPIUS SHAKES IT OFF! MAYHEM unloads on SCORPIUS with left and right hands but again SCORPIUS is unfazed and grabs MIKE with his free hand then irish whips him into the ropes. FLYING SHOULDER BLOCK! SCORPIUS connects with a flying shoulder block that sends MIKE down hard and he didn’t even drop his burger!
AAOOOOOOOOWW!! F**K YOU!!!!
SCORPIUS lets out another one of his primal yells followed by a f**k you as he holds up a middle finger to the crowd. Suddenly the man that was getting cheered earlier draws thunderous boos from the audience! It seems like SCORPIUS’ performance enhancing triple stack has gone to his head. SCORPIUS finishes off the burger then turns his attention to MIKE MAYHEM who is trying to make it back to his feet. SCORPIUS now with a DEATHSTRI… NO! SCORPIUS goes for a superkick but MIKE MAYHEM ducks it and quickly tags in JOHNATHAN CABLE. SPEAR TO CABLE, SPEAR TO JOHNA… wait a second! CABLE brought his knee up and SCORPIUS just charged head first right into a knee lift from JOHNATHAN CABLE. SCORPIUS sure as hell isn’t shaking that one off and he might have just earned himself a concussion. CABLE quickly drops down on top of SCORPIUS and hooks the leg.

KICKOUT!
SCORPIUS is able to kickout at the last possible second. Wait a minute, what’s JOHNATHAN CABLE doing… oh… that’s a slap in the face. CABLE now locking SCORPIUS into a scorpion deathlock and if SCORPIUS wasn’t writhing in pain then I’m sure he’d be highly pissed off. CABLE is really putting the pressure on and SCORPIUS is desperatley reaching for the ropes but they’re jut out of reach. SCORPIUS inches closer and closer as CABLE applies more and more pressure. SCORPIUS now reaching out with everything once of energy he has… AND HE GOT IT! SCORPIUS grabs the rope forcing the referee to break up the submission. SCORPIUS quickly rolls out of the ring and once again climbs beneath, no doubt to dig into his burger stash once again. Sure enough not long after SCORPIUS climbs under the ring it begins to shake violently again. This time SCORPIUS emerges from under the ring holding a whopper, so is his weakness whoppers or triple stacks? What the hell is going on here, you can’t have a weakness to both… well unless you’re a fatty. SCORPIUS rolls into the ring and JOHNATHAN CABLE tries to catch him with a clothesline but SCORPIUS ducks it and lands a textbook dropkick that sends CABLE stumbling back into his corner. Sensing that he’s in trouble MIKE MAYHEM taps CABLE on the back tagging himself in but CABLE doesn’t look like he was ready to come out. The dissension between the two of them only lasts a moment but that distracts long MAYHEM long enough for SCORPIUS to hit the most devastating move in his arsenal, ATOMIC WEDGIE!!! ATOMIC WEDGIE!!! ATOMIC WEDGIE!!! An angry MIKE MAYHEM tries to hit SCORPIUS with a spinning back elbow but SCORPIUS ducks under it causing MAYHEM to connect with the referee followed by SCORPIUS DEATHDROP!!!! MIKE MAYHEM is down and out but so is the referee!! SCORPIUS stands up in disgust knowing that he can’t get the pinfall and JOHNATHAN CABLE now jumps into the ring.
WAKING NIGHTMARE! CABLE CATCHES SCORPIUS WITH THE WAKING NIGHTMARE! JOHNATHAN CABLE now drags MAYHEM on top of SCORPIUS and shakes the referee who finally makes the count.

Three!
Winners: Mike Mayhem and John Cable
MAYHEM AND CABLE WIN! SCORPIUS just could not overcome the numbers game.
DEVAN DIAMOND
- vs -
MYSERY
- vs -
RANDALL CROSS
Triple Threat, 1 Fall
SUMMARY: A stellar contest from begining to end! We saw Devan Diamond accompanied to the ring this evening by fellow Bloodpack member Brent Harley!
Right from the start it seemed as though Devan Diamond and Brent Harley were expecting Mysery to just lay down for Devan. Meanwhile as Randall Cross sees this unfold he just continues watching intently as Mysery begins to argue with both Devan and Brent! The referee starts warning Brent to stay out of it and he also tells Mysery to get back. Neither man listens and suddenly Mysery is exchanging blows with Brent Harley! Devan Diamond jumps in on Mysery too and both Bloodbath members continue to beat down Mysery as Randall Cross looks dumbfounded by what he's witnessing.
Eventually when the moment is right, Randall Cross makes his way over to the corner closest to where all of them are brawling. Cross climbs up... NO WAY... he just basically says "screw it" and plays Russian Roulette! Spear from the top rope nails Devan with most of the impact but Mysery also gets taken down and Brent Harley gets sent crashing backward and spilling through the ropes to the outside! In all this madness Randall ends up in a pinning position over BOTH men! The ref quickly dives in and counts the 1...2...THREE! Amazing! And we were all here to see it happen!
Winner: Randall Cross
MAIN EVENT
THE TRISTAN SLATER
- vs -
CALEB ROTHCHILD
Standard Match
We are all set for our main event of the evening as...
Deep Purple hits the speakers as none other than THE Tristan Slater makes his entrance to a very lively crowd here tonight! There are a LOT of boos but it's almost interesting just how many cheers there are too once he raises The XWF Championship high into the air! Definitely a mixed crowd here tonight and with good reason! While some may hate him, he's the man who is standing up for the XWF after WGWF's Paul Frost has been layout out a relentless verbal onslaught about the company for quite some time!
Slater makes his way into the ring and Caleb Rothchild keeps his eyes locked on him. Once the ref signals for the bell, both men immediately switch into the mental zone they need to be in and they lock eyes. They circle one another for several seconds until Rothchild shoots in low for the leg and takes Slater down but when he hits the canvas, Slater uses his momentum to roll out and kick Rothchild in the head in the process.
Rothchild charges at Slater but Slater ducks the shot and catches Rothchild with a quick falling neckbreaker. Slater grabs Rothchild's foot to apply an ankle lock but Rothchild rolls out of it and gets to his feet in time to catch Slater with a bicycle kick to the face! Rothchild follows up with several hard shots to the face and stomach before going for a falcon arrow driver, but Slater gets out of it and knees Rothchild in the head which rocks him and sends him stumbling back.
Slater Irish whips Rothchild into the far ropes and as Rothchild runs back at Slater he tries to clothesline him but Slater ducks under and behind for a huge german suplex! The fans take notice of the impact delivered there as Rothchild is completely rocked by it. He tries to get to his feet but Slater already is sizing him up for the next move and hits a belly to back suplex.
Slater immediately pulls Rothchild back up to his feet but out of nowhere Rothchild with a quick headbutt to Slater right between the eyes! Slater is completely caught off guard by the speed and force of the headbutt, stumbling back a few steps as Rothchild rushes at him with a Step-Up Enzuigiri! Slater goes down hard as Rothchild goes for the cover!

...KICKOUT! Slater rolls out under the bottom rope and puts his hand to his face, realizing that he's been busted open by that headbutt or the Enzuigiri... or both! Slater wipes some of the blood away when suddenly... CRASH! Caleb Rothchild tried to catch Slater off guard again; this time by diving through the ropes toward Slater on the outside BUT SLATER SIDE STEPPED AND SENT ROTHCHILD FLYING INTO THE BARRICADE!
The fans right there all start slapping Rothchild on the shoulder and everything until Rothchild finishing slumping down to the ground. Slater quickly moves in and rolls Rothchild into the ring... He follows and once again wipes some of his own blood from the bridge of his nose which just might fuel the speed and delivery of this FLIP PILEDRIVER! He goes for the cover...

...THREE!
Winner: The Tristan Slater
Slater has persevered even after being busted wide open! The ref hands him The XWF Championship as the fans roar a mixture of reactions toward him. He seems to approve of the mix and feeds off of this as he raises the title high into the air. Slater then looks down at Rothchild and wipes some more of the blood from his own face, flicking it down at Rothchild in disgust!
