ASSOCIATED PRESS- Over the last 24 hours wrestling fans have been left confused by the mixed messages put out by the XTREME WRESTLING FEDERATION. Three different video messages appeared at various points in the day; the first at 10 AM, the second at 2:30 PM and the third at 10 PM (all times Eastern) and all were deleted from the site within thirty minutes of their posting.

What else did these videos have in common? Each teased itself as the reveal of a potential "third man" to partner with Vinny Lane and James Raven against the Kings at the High Stakes PPV.

The first video was titled "LEGACY", and featured a long haired sillouette against a red background proclaiming himself the greatest of all time and the only man fit to stand with Raven in this historic match, claiming they once held gold together. It was quickly reported by several media outlets that Big Shank would serve as third man. However the video was deleted by 10:30 AM and no official announcement was ever released from the XWF.

By mid-afternoon a second video was published titled "BRAVADO", featuring a black screen and the distinct voices of Aidan "Blizzard" Collins and Drake Komodo bickering over whether or not they should drive to High Stakes and help out their old friend. The promo ended with Aidan seeming to decide as a former XWF owner he owed it to the federation, and that he was ready for the challenge, the sounds of a car door slamming before the audio cut out. While this was more vague, it led to much online discussion about whether Aidan may or may not actually be the third man. It was also deleted.

The third video, coming late at night and titled "RESPECT", featured a shifting blue to purple background and an unnamed voice, claiming the XWF has changed for the worse since he elevated it 20 years ago. He claimed to own the true legacy of the company, and teased coming back to remind everyone the meaning of his title world. Early fan speculation was that it may in fact be former owner Jonathyn Brown, due to a sillouette that stepped in frame just at the end of the video, but the video was also deleted and no word has been released by the company.

It is believed that James Raven is behind all three videos, as he has close ties to all three men and shares the exclusive bond of being former owners with all. He is also rumored to be the responsible party for the crashing of the XWF's website due to bandwidth issues late in the night previous to these videos being released. Why he's sending out so many signals, and deleting the videos so quickly, remain unknown as he is unavailable for comment. XWF lawyers have reportedly asked him to meet with them prior to Savage tomorrow morning, for questioning.

Big Shank, Aidan Collins, Jonathyn Brown, Shane ... the options are beginning to narrow, but which power figure will fill the void, and help take down The Kings at High Stakes?
