The X-tron lights up! The arena lights darken to pitch black, then white light starts to flicker through the crowd with the opening hook of the song. As it kicks in, John Raide steps through the curtains and walks out onto the stage.
He wears a black t-shirt over his trunks that says 'Ideas are bulletproof'. He starts down the aisle as he looks out over the arena crowd. Raide stops right at the end of the aisle as he turns and gives a smug look to the crowd.
John climbs into the ring and asks for a microphone. He stands in the center of the ring with his chin resting on his shoulder, chuckling, as the crowd gives him a warm welcome.
"Good evening. For the uninitiated, my name is John Raide and in the spirit of the holiday season I'm going to air some grievances if that is all right by you people."
The crowd cheers ... John smirks...
"Not that I give a damn about what you want anyway."
John removes a folded up piece of paper that suddenly unfolds and rolls out midway across the ring.
"Don't worry. In the interest of time we're only going to discuss the names I have highlighted here in red. Let's begin shall we?"
The crowd cheers again in anticipation...
"Let's start with some of the boys in the back. I don't have to name all of them, they'll know who they are, but these specific individuals thought it wise to place a little prediction on the outcome of The Lethal Lottery. This little prediction included not predicting me to win over Tri Bute."
...the crowd boos.
"This isn't sour grapes. Don't misunderstand me. Everyone likes an underdog, right? That little error in their judgement served a purpose. I just hope I sent a clear message when I made that future piece of future shit tap out in the middle of this ring like the pathetic stain of human existence that he is."
The crowd pops...
"Speaking of stains of human existence ... let's talk about Peter Gilmour..."
The crowd boos ... some chants of "suck my dick!" start...
"No, no continue to keep chanting his little comeback. Go on. Be his sheep. Celebrate his lack of intellect. This man doesn't have the stones to accept a match I offered him. A non-title match mind you. Instead he decided it was in his best interest and stay home with his dog-sled of a husband Rose instead of getting into this ring and putting his money where his mouth is. Way to be a man, Pete. Way to prove again you're a worthless sack of shit. That really sounds like someone I want to be a champion in the company I work for."
The crowd sways for a moment, but eventually comes back around...
"The company I work for ... ha! ... everyone seems to be a victim here. Everyone has been screwed over. Everyone has some sense of entitlement. No one wants to work for an opportunity. Everyone wants stuff handed to them. Then you get these fucking morons trying to spark a revolution every week, yes I'm looking at you Smoke Man and Steve Davids. Keep battling against all the oppression you're under.Then once you're done, please do us all a favor and go hang yourself in a set of Christmas lights out near the dumpsters. You won't be missed."
... the crowd is reaching a small fever pitch.
"And now that brings me to biggest tool of them all. John Austin. A blind man who, much like Eli James, sits up on Bullshit Mountain casting judgement down on all us "little people." Well, guess what, it is judgement time. It's time for John Austin to step into this ring tonight so I can beat him to within an inch of his life and I'll leave enough air in his lungs to say thank you. Thank you, John Raide for opening my ideas to new possibilities... And to new ideas..."
John lowers the mic as the crowd starts to cheer in anticipation for the upcoming main event...
MAIN EVENT
Dr. Zero (w/ Egyptian Snow Pharaoh)
- vs -
Mystica (w/ Eli James IV)
- vs -
Sebastian Duke (w/ Unknown Soldier) Triple Threat, 1 Fall
A pale blue mist begins to fill the air as the first eight chords of "Sick Sick Sick" by Queens of the Stone Age begins to play through-out the arena. Mystica walks out through the entrance dressed in his trademark white robe. His mentor of sorts and manager for the night, Eli James makes his way behind. The fans give a mixed reaction to both men. Mystica discards the robe and makes his way into the ring. Eli enters and makes his way towards Mystica giving him words of instruction for tonight's battle.
"Totentanz" by composer Franz Liszt begins to play as the crowd suddenly boos as they know we are about to be graced by the good doctor himself. Dr. Zero comes walking out with the lovely and powerful Egyptian Snow Pharaoh in tow. Zero begins examining some of the fans near ringside. He motions over to E.S.P. and whispers into her ear as she gives off a laugh. Dr. Zero enters into the ring and shakes the referee's hand. He goes over to Mystica and Eli to shake their hands but they simply look at him in disgust. ESP stands on the outside looking over at Eli and Mystica with a scornful scowl across her face.
The lights go dark in the arena as a sudden chill comes through the air. The opening chords to "Evil Ways" by Blues Saraceno begins to play as the fans boos become even louder than for Dr. Zero. Sebastian Duke appears near the entrance way and slowly walks down the ramp. We see Unknown Soldier come running up from behind like a mad-man. He taps Duke on the shoulder and places his hand slowly across Duke's face leaving a trail of blood. Soldier extends his hand for a "high-five" but Duke wipes the blood off his face and looks at Soldier in disgust. He continues making his way to the ring and finally enters. He takes off his trench-coat and hat and hands them to Solider who is on the outside.
Eli stares down Duke with hate in his eyes as he exits the ring and all three opponents have a stare-down at one another...Unknown Soldier, Eli James and E.S.P. stand on opposite ends outside of the ring...
The bell rings and the ref motions for the three combatants to begin the match. The ref takes a quick step back, assuming the action to jump right away. To his and the crowd's surprise, the three individuals just stand in their corners surveying the situation. Dr. Zero looks around the arena as Duke and Mystica stare each other down. Zero then turns to his manager at ringside, Pharaoh, and crouches to speak with him. Mystica and Duke both eye Zero as his back is turned to them. Duke takes a running start...
SMACK
Duke hits Zero with a running knee to the back of the neck and Zero drops to the canvas. As he is hanging by the bottom rope, Duke starts stomping his mid-section as Mystica walks calmly over. He reaches down and puts Zero into an ankle lock. Almost immediately, he grabs the bottom rope, but Duke kicks him again and Mystica pulls him towards the middle of the ring. He then reapplies the ankle lock in the center of the ring. Zero lets out a scream in pain, as Mystica puts as much twist into the lock as possible. After a few moments, he releases the hold only to stomp on the already throbbing ankle. After a few heavy stomps, Mystica put his ankle lock back onto Zero.
Zero starts crawling towards the rope, attempting to break the hold. He begins inching closer with every excruciating bellow of pain. He gets within arms reach and strains his arm to grab the rope. Mystica pulls him away just as his fingertips nearly grasp the ropes. He gets Zero into the middle of the ring and his expression turns to complete pain. He clinches his fist, raising it above his head. You can tell he is about to tap, with the pain reaching his breaking point. Duke, meanwhile, had been watching intently. He had not felt compelled to get involved quite yet. He then noticed Zero about to tap, and decided to get himself injected into the match finally. He calmly walked over to Mystica who had his back turned to Duke. He calmly wrapped his arm around Mystica's neck and hit him with an inverted neckbreaker. With Mystica down, Duke lifted a now nearly crippled Zero and wrapped his massive right hand around his neck...
CHOKESLAM!

KICKOUT! Mystica jumps over and breaks up the three count. Mystica still on the mat delivers blow after blow to the back of Duke as he rose to his feet. Duke whips around and just glares at Mystica. Duke hits him with a swift shot to the throat. He then grabs his arm and tosses him into the ropes, hitting a Big Boot on the rebound, dropping to the mat. Duke then taunts to the crowd....
BOOOO!
BOOOO!
BOOOO!
Zero has managed to get back to his feet, with a obvious hindrance to his right leg. As Duke turns back towards the ring, Zero manages to his a standing dropkick to Duke. Unintentionally, Duke falls on a still grounded Mystica with most of the force delivered to his chest in the form of an elbow drop. Duke then remains on top of Mystica, while Zero grips his ankle from the landing...

KICKOUT!
Mystica manages to get his shoulder up, but only barely. Duke rolls outside the ring to gain some composure. As the ref begins the ten count, Mystica manages to get back to his feet and walks towards Zero. Trying to belay getting beaten while he's down, Zero gestures to Mystica to show some mercy. Mystica, for a moment, feels a need to give him a chance to get to his feet. He walks over and allows Zero to use his tights to help himself up. Zero makes it to his knees and quickly hits a low blow on Mystica. As Mystica drops down, the ref stops his ten count on Duke to address the situation in the ring. Immediately after the ref turns around, both Eli and Pharaoh begin to attack Duke. They both deliver punches and kicks until he falls to the side of the ring. Soldier notices the situation and makes his way around the ring. As he rounds the corner, both Eli and Pharaoh begin to step back. The three of them begin to shout back and forth, while Duke begins to pull himself to his feet. The ref then comes back to see the hysteria as the managers are nearly at blows. Meanwhile, Mystica is still in pain from the low blow and Zero sees an opportunity to grab the win. He rolls Mystica into a small package, pinning his shoulders to the mat for a roll-up pin. The ref is still distracted, but the crowd decides to count for the ref...

The ref turns and notices the pin attempt and rushes over to make the official count...

KICKOUT!
Mystica kicks out of the pin, and brings himself to his feet quickly. Fighting through the pain, Zero gets to his feet almost as quickly. They begin to trade punches as Duke reenters the ring. Zero gets the upper hand, landing a heavy right hand. Mystica stumbles back, only to be met with a heavy right from Duke. He stumbles backwards again, and receives another violent right from Zero. This exchanges a few more time...

On the expected tenth right hand, Duke grabs Mystica and delivers another chokeslam. He hits the mat with a deep thud. As Duke comes back up from the chokeslam, Zero runs over an hits a swinging neckbreaker. Duke once again rolls outside the ring, landing hard on the floor below. Zero the scrambles over to Mystica and goes for the cover...

KICKOUT!
Mystica kicks out and rolls onto his stomach. Zero shows some frustration and gets into the ref's face. Duke, still on the outside, begins to get back up. Suddenly, Eli runs over and hits Duke in the back. Pharaoh also comes over and joins in the punishment on a disoriented Duke. This time however, Soldier comes over and pulls Eli off and sends him into the stairs, but Eli reverses just in time sending Soldier over the stairs. The crash causes the ref to revert his attention back towards Duke. He sees both Soldier and Duke laid out on the floor below. He begins to question both Pharaoh and Eli who plead ignorance. After a few moments, the ref decides to eject both Eli and Pharaoh from ringside. This is not pleasing to either Zero or Mystica, who argue with the ref over his decision. During the squabble, Soldier helps Duke up to his feet. Duke then proceeds to get into the ring and head towards the three in the ring. Mystica notices Duke before anyone and shoves the ref to get to Duke. Both Duke and Mystica battle it out in the ring, until Mystica has Duke trapped in a corner. Duke eventually drops down in the corner, but Mystica refuses to relent his assault. The ref comes over in attempt to pull Mystica back, but gets a strong right hand dropping the ref to the mat. Zero then runs over and crashes Mystica into the same corner with a running clothesline to his back. As Mystica falls back, Zero jumps over Duke to the top rope. He waits for Mystica to return to his feet, and hits him with a missile dropkick. He then gets up and looks at Duke. He sees him pulling himself up in the corner. He comes over, only to get a low kick to the groin. Zero drops to the canvas, as Duke goes to cover Mystica in the middle of the ring. He quickly notices the ref is out cold and tries to get him back to his feet. Mystica then gets to his feet and sends him outside the ring again. Soldier goes to help Duke, as Mystica turns back to Zero....
SMACK!
Zero attempts to hit Mystica with chair, but Mystica misses and hits the already downed ref. This causes the ref to roll outside the ring to the floor below. Zero kicks Mystica in the gut, and he drops the chair. Zero then hit him with a DDT, on the chair. He then proceeds to pin him, but again the ref is out and not inside the ring. Zero then slides out the ring to get the ref, when he gets clotheslined by Soldier. Both Duke and Soldier then proceed to hit various shots on Zero before rolling him back into the ring. As Duke and Soldier enter the ring, they roll Mystica out of the ring who is still out cold. Duke then motions Soldier to retrieve the steel chair, while he begins to puck up Zero. Duke cuffs Zero's arms behind him using his arms. He then yells at Soldier to crack Zero in the skull with the chair. Soldier then smacks the ring a few times before swinging the chair at Zero......
CRACK!!!
Soldier hits Duke with the chair! Duke drops to the mat, as Soldier looks on in shock. Zero had ducked just in time to avoid the shot. Almost as quickly, he hits Soldier with a low blow. As Soldier drops the chair, he drops to his knees. Zero grabs the chair.....
CRACK!!!
Zero cracks it over Soldier's head. He then throws the chair out of the ring and rolls Soldier outside the ring. Oddly enough, he lands on top of Mystica before rolling into the barricade. Zero then turns back to Duke, and proceeds to commence....Therianthropy!
He morphs into Duke and is able to bring Duke up, and he applies Pandora's Box onto Duke. Duke struggles to free himself from his own finisher. The ref manages to bring himself back into the ring and notice the submission being applied. He comes over and checks on Duke. Duke continues to struggle, but cannot withstand his own finisher and taps out!
Winner: Dr. Zero
MAIN EVENT
(Non-Title)
John Austin
- vs -
John Raide Standard Rules
Guest Ref: Eli James IV
From Virginia Beach, Virginia it's your United States champion - John Austin!
A red mist glows near the entrance way as the lights in the arena go black. A wolf's howl can be heard. Then....John comes strutting out the entrance way and stands atop of the ramp, surveying the arena. He walks down the ramp and slowly greets his fans as he makes his way to the ring. John climbs into the ring and places his title to the side, before rising to his feet and taking his place in his corner as he awaits the arrival of his opponent and the special guest referee.
From Seattle, Washington it's - John Raide!
The arena lights darken to pitch black, then white light starts to flicker through the crowd. Suddenly John Raide steps through the curtains and walks out onto the stage. He wears a black t-shirt over his trunks that says 'Ideas are bulletproof'. He starts down the aisle as he looks out over the arena crowd. Raide stops right at the end of the aisle as he turns and gives a smug look to the crowd. Then he runs up onto the apron and hops onto the turnbuckle as he yells to the crowd to fire himself up.
And last but surely not least. He is your esteemed referee for tonight's festivities and former United States champ. From Unknown but by his accent you know he's from somewhere from the south it's - Eli James IV!
The lights go out. A candle is seen flickering on the big screen. Candles become lit on each side of the entrance all the way to the ring to light the path to walk. Eli emerges and walks towards the ring, once in the ring he stands there with a big smile on his face laughing away.
The fans are on their feet and screaming in excitement, before this match can even begin! A rain of pentagram necklaces, bibles and for some reason bananas wearing hipster-esque, black framed, buddy holly glasses, soar out in every direction. The only guess for the latter being...that no one could figure out what to toss in appreciation for John Raide. Yet...really, the truly puzzling part of this phenomenon is...how and why, the audience as a whole, decided on such a bizarre choice and collectively could produce more than one of the same object. Alas, it's just one of those strange moments in life that's better to move past than to ponder.
There is absolutely no trouble moving past that oddity either, because this match is practically on fire, it's so hot! The tension and turmoil between the participants and even the ref are very apparent tonight and the fans are just literally eating this shit up! They can't get enough and neither can we, as the cameras all take aim at the ring, the bell is rung and this non-title match begins!
Eli James raises his hands high up in the air and sings out a spiritual hymn as John Raide and John Austin dive towards each other! Each man determined to get the upper hand. Austin catching Raide with a mean right hook, followed immediately by a Giant Chop and a quick left jab. Raide retaliating with a Forearm Smash, a few knees to Austin's gut and a swift Spin Kick, that finds a nice home in side of Austin's head. Austin teeters to the side, losing his balance and leaving him open for Raide to hit him with - The Raid (Diving headbutt)!
Austin flops back onto the canvas, but is able to pull himself up quick and slip into a kneeling position as he attempts to shake off the effects of the diving headbutt. As Austin does this, Raide moves in fast with repeated shoot kicks to a Austin's chest, followed by a roundhouse kick to the Austin's head!
Austin; once again, meets the canvas and this time Raide is there to cover for the pin!
Yet Eli is busy tossing his hands to the heavens and belting out one song after another. Refusing to count the pin and acting like he's far too caught up in his religious hymns, to do anything else. Raide is clearly annoyed by this and before you know it...
Kickout!
John Austin kicks out, rolls to the side and slowly rises to his feet. Barely up for a full minute, before John Raide comes charging in on the offense! Soaring towards Austin, like a speeding human shaped bullet! Austin leaps to the side just seconds from collision and Raide careens right into the turnbuckle! Austin then lifts himself from up off the canvas as Raide backs away from the turnbuckle, clutching his head.
Austin then moves in right behind Raide, before he spins Raide around and hits Raide with a Powerbomb into that turnbuckle Raide just slammed into! Raide drops to the canvas and Austin moves in for the attack, but is met with Raide's foot as he shoots it up and introduces it to Austin's face!
Austin stumbles back and Raide begins to lift himself up from the canvas. However as Raide does this, Austin surges forward and latches onto Raide. Grabbing Raide by the hair and the shoulder and launching him straight towards the ropes. Raide slams into the ropes and the ropes react like a spring that send Raide right back into a Big Boot to the back of the head from Austin! Austin reaches down, takes a hold of a big clump of Raide's hair and tears Raide up off the canvas! Rearing back, Austin delivers a real wallop of a smack to Raide's face before he executes a Northern Lights Suplex into pin!
Yet Eli refuses to count again!
Instead he pulls out a bible and begins thumbing through it, landing on a random page and reciting a verse out loud. Eli had already ignored one pin attempt and that was by Raide, now Eli is choosing to ignore Austin's pin attempt. Clearly, Eli has no interest in calling a winner here tonight, regardless of who makes the pin. And once again we see a....
Kickout!
Without a count!
Raide sits up from the canvas as Austin turns to Eli and rips the bible from Eli's hands. Tossing it out of the ring as he gets in Eli's face.
Raide climbing up from the canvas, moves in but keeps somewhat of a distance as Austin continues to scream in Eli's face. Spit flies out of Austin's mouth and hits Eli in the face as Austin continues to rave. Finally the screams of Austin, get to Eli as he shoves Austin back and pulls a mic from his pocket.
Eli: "This here match is going to be an 'I quit' match from here on out. If one of y'all want to win so damn badly, you'll have to end the others career! I won't have it any other way!"
From behind Austin, Raide simply shrugs as we see him mouth the word - " Whatever.", right before catching Austin with a Roundhouse Kick that nearly decapitates him!
Austin goes flopping towards the ropes and slams onto them as Raide moves in. Raide grabs Austin by the back of the head and slaps Austin's head against the top rope! Spinning a dazed Austin around, Raide proceeds to get Austin with a series of rapid punches to the face, a Side Kick and a Leg Sweep!
Austin hits the canvas and Raide takes to the ropes. Climbing them swiftly and mounting the top rope. Stabilizing himself firmly, before vaulting off into a Senton Bomb! Raide connects with perfect accuracy and causes Austin to surge up from the canvas upon impact!
From there Raide climbs up to his feet as he smashes Austin's face into the canvas and then pulls him up by his head. Raide then takes a tight grip onto Austin's head while he begins to deliver a rapid session of knees to Austin's face! Each knee strike delivered with more brutality than the last! Until finally with a sick, shattering sound, we all become aware of Austin's nose severely breaking!
Blood pours from Austin's nose and drips all over Raide's knee as it comes in for another strike to Austin's face! The strike just causing a disgusting plethora of blood, snot and spit to splatter everywhere!
A rather limp Austin, barely stands as Raide catches him with one more knee to the face and then switches things up by lifting Austin up to his wobbly feet.
As Austin sways and bleeds, Raide punches Austin straight in the face, further destroying Austin's nose and then tosses Austin towards the ropes. The ropes bounce Austin's body back; despite his precarious state, right into a Busaiku Knee Kick (Running single leg high knee)!
Austin slams hard onto the canvas and lays there motionless as Raide stands over him. Raide then reaches down and grabs Austin by either side of Austin's head while he screams - "Come on then! Quit already!"
However, no sign of awareness emits from Austin as his eyes roll back into his head while he continues to bleed. Raide realizes that Austin is in no condition to speak, or do much of anything and simply covers for the pin. Glaring a hole into Eli who laughs and shrugs.
Eli: "You better wake that boy up and get him to quit or else you ain't claiming a win tonight!"
Raide looking utterly flabbergasted, starts to slide off Austin's motionless body when suddenly....
Oh my god! It's Co-Overlord of Warfare - Giovanni Ferrari and he looks pissed! No...not really. Really he looks more annoyed than anything than else. Gio wields a microphone and lifts it up to his mouth as he signals for his music to be cut.
Gio: "Eli! Hey Eli! Can I have a word perchance?"
Eli turns around, still smiling widely and nods towards Gio, waving a hand to indicate Gio should proceed. Gio; not looking too happy with Eli's actions, just rolls his eyes and begins to speak.
Gio: "Eli...what was your job tonight?"
Eli grins and lifts his own mic up to his mouth.
Eli: "I'm the ref of this here fight."
Gio: "Okay and what does the ref do?"
Eli: "Well he call the match as he sees fit."
Gio: "No, he simply calls the match. Someone pins someone, you count. Someone pulls a submission, you tend to the call of that. Jesus fucking Christ Eli! You had one fucking job to do! Now you aren't a manager and you have zero authority on Warfare. Which means, you do as you're told and if you can't do that. You can just find another line of work. See it's really simple. Even you can get it. Either you count the pin, or get the fuck out of my arena and say goodbye to your career. The choice is yours. I frankly couldn't give two shits which option you choose, but you better choose something right the fuck now.
Eli narrows his eyes and turns towards a smiling Raide standing behind him. With a disgusted grimace, Eli gets in position to count as Raide goes for the pin on a still motionless Austin.

Three!
Winner: John Raide
Giovanni sighs, tosses his hands in the air, does an about face and marches to the back as Raide rises to his feet, lifting his hands in victory as the crowd cheers. Meanwhile XWF staff enter the ring and begin to do what they can to revive Austin. Snapping smelling salts under his nose and slowly producing a small sign of life as they help him to his feet. Austin shakes his head as he pushes the officials off and away, gradually trudging towards the ropes in order to exit the ring.
Eli looks at both men with that creepy smile on his face. Mystica comes out with Elisha and.....
Another tall bearded man..???
WHO THE HELL IS THAT BIG MAN WITH MYSTICA???
They move inside the ring as both Austin and Raide both take a step back, appearing to be prepared for anything...despite the hell they just went through. Eli, Elisha, Mystica, and this new big man start to close in on Austin and Raide.. but interrupting them is a person clearing their throat over the PA system.
??: Excuse me. Don't mind the interruption, but I have a few things to say.
LJ Havok walks out.
Havok: Since my arrival, I've been a part of a lot of changes. I've seen the good and I've seen the bad. I don't know Raide, but Austin, I do know and, I'm not too fond of you... as you know. Mystica, Eli, and whoever you are.. I respect you but Eli.. you're a bit off. I mean, I'm off a little. Eli, you are a special kind of off.
LJ gets in the ring and walks toward Eli. Mystica and the others move their attention to Havok.
Havok: I've been in the ring with you. I've watched you and your Congregation do some strange things since my debut. You've got the attention of everyone, including myself. Congratulations. Your message has gotten to everyone's ear. It's the end, Eli.
Havok quickly turns and sprints toward Austin and Raide ushering a beat down. Mystica, Elisha and the other big man join in the attack while Eli laughs and enjoys what he's seeing. Eli grabs the microphone Havok was using and begins laughing in it. Austin and Raide are completely bloody and lifeless.
Eli James IV: Like LJ said.. it is.. the end. The end of the sinners who mock Almighty. John Raide.. congratulations on your attack at Lethal Lottery.. however you've failed at accomplishing what you wanted to do and that was to make a name for yourself, wasn't it? Hehe. And John Austin... you decided to cash in your briefcase. You got the title. You've lost your soul. Hehe. Mr. told me since I've helped the Black Circle.. he's going to help me. He's giving me a favor.. and that favor is next week.. it's going to be John Austin defending that US Title against Smoke Man.... and Mystica... and LJ Havok... and Elisha... and my cousin Amos James Jr.
The fans are in an uproar! How could Shane allow such a thing?
Wait a second... what's this?!?!?
Shane walks out from the back with a scowl on his face. The look in his EYE is an angry one...
: Actually, Eli... While I appreciate your help with the Black Circle, that's not what I meant and I think you KNOW that's not what I meant. That's my main problem here. I told you I would grant you an immediate rematch with John Austin for the United States title and if you wanted, I would grant you to choose a replacement. That's it! There aren't going to be a bunch of your cousins, aunts, uncles and god damn farm animals in this match! I've been thinking a lot more clearly after healing up from my recent injuries... you know, when I got tossed down some steps and nobody helped me? Anyway, Eli, let's just keep this really simple so I don't have to come out here again. Are we clear?
Eli looks upset and angry at .
Eli: I've done a lot for you. To any man, it would be an insult. Long ago, I recall John Madison doing the same thing to me when I lost to Luca for the #1 Contender for King of XWF several months ago. But I forgave and knew there is a reason for everything. Since that's who I am, I forgive you and have chosen Mystica to be my replacement.
nods in approval as he gets inside the ring. He has a big grin on his face.
: I have a better idea. Mystica vs. LJ Havok vs. Elisha and the winner gets to be your replacement in the United States title match the week after that. I'm loving this creative genius that is forming between us, Eli. Aren't you?
Eli gets in 's face without a smile since is making his own men fight each other after he 'promised' he would do a favor.
The rest of the Black Circle make their way out from the back. The fans start really picking up here... a low roar among them as they feel like things could take a very unexpected twist! Or maybe the fans are just hopeful because they always want to see a falling out between two badass groups? Either way they are really picking up!
The Black Circle members all walk up to Mystica first and shake his hand, then to Eli to shake his... but they ignore LJ and Amos completely.
John Madison, looking sexy as ever with his hair did and his make up popping, plants a big kiss right on Eli's cheek and leaves a lipstick mark! Eli jumps back to get away from John's grasp but John starts trying to tickle Eli and he starts poking Eli's stomach.
Madison: Oh you were right Shane, Eli might have to go on that special diet Gilmour went on. With Barney Green gone again and Peter not wanting his Fatback, Eli might start being the butt of all the fat jokes.
John drapes his arms around Eli's neck, smiling at him.
Madison: But don't you worry, Eli. We'll whip you right back into shape.
Eli finally shoves John back and he slams into NAZI...
The fans all go "Ooooooh!" and get up from their seats as NAZI takes a step forward but Theo Pryce holds him back and tries to calm him down.
Pryce: Relax... the last thing Eli needs is a curb stomping.
Eli takes a step forward but Shane steps right in his face, mumbling something to Eli and looking like he's talking down to him pretty bad, even wagging his finger in Eli's face. John Madison senses the tension and sees how bad the fans want a brawl to erupt, so he does his best to make sure they don't get what they want.
Madison: Guys, guys... I think we're all overlooking the most important thing here and that's that we're all family. We're going to fight and we're going to make up just like any family would. Let's all calm down and watch this video of one of my personal family moments. You're a big part of this moment, Eli. Take a look!
Madison shows a video on the X-Tron that they recorded a few months back:
Eli is with the Black Circle, encouraging them to take communion and repent for their sins. Madison says he agrees. Eli leads them in communion, but what Eli didn't know was...
...they laced the drink with drugs! Eli gets knocked out and they hire prostitutes to come have sex with Eli while he is out cold...
Shane and John Madison have huge smiles on their faces as they watch this heartfelt moment on the X-Tron. Eli, along with the others, start to get upset at The Black Circle... and then all hell breaks loose! The fans hit the roof as Shane dives out of the ring and The Black Circle members attack Eli, LJ, Elisha and Amos!
The fans are losing their minds over this! Mr. Supernova and NAZI just threw Amos out of the ring and are beating him with chairs! Theo Pryce just speared LJ right between the ropes, both men crashing down at ringside and Theo continuing to assault him. NAZI slides back into the ring with one of those chairs and takes out Elisha!
Mystica stands in the corner not sure what to do. Shane gets back into the ring and has a small box with him, about the size of an engagement ring box. He opens it up and it's filled with white powder... Shane snorts a small bump and the look on his face tells us it's some of the best cocaine money can buy! Shane dumps some cocaine into his palm and smashes his hand into Eli's face as John Madison holds Eli's head.. oh god! THEY ARE FORCING ELI TO SNORT COCAINE!!! Mystica is pleading with them to stop as Shane laughs for a few moments before he grabs a microphone. He leans down to Eli's coke covered face and says...
: What you asked me for in my office two weeks ago, Eli, I will give to you. Think of today as another day of Shane showering you with blessings, because it will indeed be you against Theo Pryce for King of XWF! ...and it will be when I or the KING himself says so! Hahaha!!! You're welcome!
Shane laughs some more as the fans give a very mixed reaction; a lot of booing and some cheers and chants of Eli's name circulating.
: ......Oh, and Eli? I'm so very sorry the "Almighty" could not save you tonight... haha. No one wants you around, so do the smart thing and steer clear of us from now on. And Mystica? I know this is hard... I know it's the same as when I lost my grandfather to a wild bear attack. It's not something you ever see coming, but when a loved one dies, it's just best to move on. We're here for you, Mystica. I'm here for you.
Mystica looks at a fallen Eli and then back at the Black Circle, unsure of what to do as officials and EMTs rush out to the scene.
