~{Cameras open in Birmingham, Alabama right outside of the UAB hospital. The scene is the parking garage area. You see Chris Van X walking through it, he is dressed in a pair of Adidas running shoes, some tear away Adidas pants and a sleeve less Maddog “The HardCORE Icon” shirt. He has his scarred up head covered by a red bandana. As he is walking you suddenly hear the phone ring. Chris digs into his pocket and digs out his cell phone. He answers it and you hear his side of the conversation.}~

CVX: Yea, Uh-huh…….. A meeting with me?………Where at?….. When?….. Alright I’ll see what I can do….. Yea, I’m aware of the match this week….. That’s fine, Tell Clarkson I’ll be there. But this better not be some type of setup.

~{Chris puts the cell phone back in his pocket and dig’s out his keys. He uses the keyless entry and start’s up the F150 and unlocks the doors. He hop’s inside and sits there for a moment. He stares out the window for a minute then finally backs up the truck and begins to drive down the road. }~

CVX: I just got back from visiting my brother in the hospital. First time I have spoke to him in nearly seven months was when I saw his limp carcass get tossed down those stairs that night after I won the Ultimate Hardcore Cup. I saw the carnage that was done and I knew then that Maddog was truly in for the fight of his life. I knew then that I had to go out and take the man out of the game. That I had to destroy him, and destroy his legacy. Going after me is one thing, attacking me is ok, jumping on me is fine. But you don’t go after my family. I don’t have much of it left. But what little I do have left I don’t let anyone and I mean anyone step in and fuck with….. When Maddog took it upon himself to kidnap my brother and beat him with that barb-wire bat. He made a mistake like no other. See I may have attacked him, beaten him, destroyed his house. But I never went outside the box. I never CROSSED THE LINED! Maddog did, he stepped out of the box and took my brother and put him in a hospital bed and left for dead. He nearly took his head clean off his shoulders. Maddog made that mistake. He saw that he couldn’t get me. He knows that he wont be able to beat me again. He knows that it was just a fluke….. The end for Maddog is coming, on August twenty eighth. In Denver Colorado at the Pepsi Center. Me and you Maddog. One on one. There wont be anyone else in between us. No Cyrus to save you. No casket full of bones….. There also wont be any Sean Van X for you to mistreat. It will only be me and you.

Your little clan you use to run with in UWWF and dominate fool’s like Snakepit, G-Man, Cyrus and Nightmare is no more. I went through you punks one by one and beat you all fair and square in the ring in what you guys claimed you where the best at and that was being hardcore. I along with many other beat Bonez the so called muscle of the AOW, within a inch of his life before you guys dropped him. I took your money of the group Denison and beat him in one of the shortest matches ever on a XCW show. I took your prize bull, your KING! To the limits and beyond….. I took Jeremy Clarkson and beat him…. Now all that is left of that dominant group that you had running around…. The funny thing is Maddog when I walked back into this sport I told you I would destroy you and the AOW. You told me time and time again to get a army…… You kept saying to get one. I kept saying I do! Me, the only army I need. So far so good Maddog. Let’s see if I can finish the game.

One thing about you that makes me so sick is you claim to be the great Hardcore Icon, The legend, the hall of famer…… Well I am telling you that everything you have ever used in life is needed. Take your battles with Xtreme, Sephiroith, Kaizen, Memnoch and everyone else. Roll them into a huge ball and still it wont be enough to stop me from what I plan on doing with you……. Maddog not only do I plan on ending your career…… I plan on ending your life.…. I plan on cross the line and ripping it apart. Because Maddog the hatred I have for you is something that no other man will ever understand. This war is on and I plan on ending it….

~{Chris has moved the truck right along the highway and onto 65 North. He glides into the left hand lane and sets his cruise control on eighty five. He reaches over into the seat next to him and grab’s his cigarettes. He pull’s one out and places it in his mouth. He pushes the lighter in and waits for a moment. It pops out and he takes it and holds it to the end of the smoke. He takes a few deep breaths as the cigarette lights up. He puts the lighter back in it’s slot and then takes a puff or two off the smoke. After a moment he look’s over at the camera briefly and then back at the road.}~

CVX: When this WWA Invasion took off everyone was wondering and asking where my loyalty laid. Where I was going to stand when the sides where ready for war. Would I stand on the side of XCW? Align myself with hated rivals live Acid? Cyrus? Jeremy Clarkson? And my arch nemeses Maddog? Would I or could I coexist with these men to fight for XCW? Or would I take and stake my claim with the growing population known as the Realm? Would I join the madness that Nightmare has brought together and help rid this world of the federation known as XCW….. As much as it would make me happy to see Acid, Jeremy Clarkson, Cyrus and Maddog in hospital beds and laying for dead. I don’t sink to the levels of pieces of shit like the WWA. I don’t need to come in and attempt to take over some federation to make me feel good. I don’t need to try and get back at everyone for my downfall’s of failing to become the vice president, and failing to capture the worlds title. I don’t need a army of twenty men to watch my back to get my revenge. I get mine the old fashion way. Cracking people’s skull’s with a Singapore cane, and if I feel lucky I’ll wrap some barb-wire around it a few times. I may not be the most popular man in the world. But everyone knows I am a true man. I’ll stand up for XCW until the end. WWA is trash that couldn’t hack it in it’s on world and it’s just trying to come get some of ours. WWA is going to feel the final breath of defeat sooner than it thinks.

~{As Chris is driving he takes the last few puff’s off his cigarette, he then crack’s his window a bit and slides the butt of the smoke out the window. He then look’s back at the road for a moment as he changes lanes to pass a car. He returns to his lane and then starts to speak again.}~

CVX: So this week on Meltdown they have Nightmare the self appointed leader of this group of misfits teaming up with Mortis Magnus, the number one contender to the worlds title, teaming up to take on the XCW champion Cyrus and the King of Hardcore himself Chris Van X. Now on paper this match appears lopsided. Two enemies teaming up to take on two stable mates doesn’t hardly seem fair….. But let’s remember one thing, Nightmare and Mortis Magnus suck! You could have stuck me with Murphy Law and the outcome of this match would still be the same, victory for me,….. Defeat for them! Mortis you may have gotten a win over Maddog to capture that number one contendership. But let’s be honest, beating Maddog in a regular match isn’t too hard of a problem. The man has been beaten before in them, and will be beaten again. When you toss in the element of hardcore is when this monster begins to unleash his wrath upon the world, But Magnus let me make a few thing’s clear to you now, when you and nightmare are staring across the ring you may not see a team… You may not see Cyrus and Chris Van X working out a game plan. You may even see us up in each other’s face. But when the bell sound’s it will make no difference. We will come out fighting, we will be ready to bring you war…. After all that’s what you guy’s wanted right? War?

~{As Chris drives the camera gets the glimpse of the speedometer and it is showing around ninety five on it. Chris seems relaxed at the wheel and doesn’t notice how fast he is traveling. He look’s at the camera and a smirk appears across his face.}~

CVX: Nightmare, where should I start? What should I say? Let’s start with the way that you’re a failure, how you haven’t amounted to anything in your history. I’m sure that the highlight of your career was holding the UWWF worlds title. But even then it wasn’t legitimate you had to steal it from Clarkson to even see it. Or would the highlight be when you had the Streetfight championship, oh you where a great champion, Mortis Magnus and you where in a three way dance with some Karl Lennox guy and the two of you double teamed him the whole time to win. Then you lost the belt to Dante, then took it back from him. The lost it to me,…. Hmm that’s some impressive title run there ‘Mare. Our let’s talk about your run as vice president of XCW. Oh wait you couldn’t managed to beat the biggest low life in the entire federation Bonez. You are the only person he has beaten in what over a year? Yet another sad run for you ‘Mare. Or let’s talk about the Worlds title shot you where handed on a silver platter by Clarkson. You, Bonez and Cyrus. Should be simple right? I mean you are the great almighty Nightmare….. But somehow you managed to screw that up to. Somehow you managed to look like a fool. You bring out this WWA realm and try to take over. While it’s not going as easily as planned it doesn’t mean it’s over yet right? Or does it, I mean you sucked as the National champion, you sucked at stealing the worlds title, you sucked at trying to beat Bonez, you sucked at winning a worlds title….. I guess all in all you just suck now don’t you? Maybe these WWA guy’s need to take note of this. They might actually want to think twice about teaming with you, after all it appears to be career suicide to me. STW and Drake already came to there senses and took the high road. It’s only a matter of time before these others do just the same. Leave you and your worthless self and salvage what’s left of their careers.

~{Chris reaches back down and gets another cigarette. He waits patiently for the lighter to pop out of it’s holder. As he does he lights the smoke up and then takes a deep breath. He exhales the smoke through his nose and seems to be enjoying his nicotine kick. He then look’s back at the camera.}~

CVX: Maddog at Crossing the Lines me and you will collide one more time. This time when we do the entire world will stop on it’s axis and watch as the downfall of the almighty takes place. Your time is up old man and I plan on proving that….. Mortis Magnus, too bad for you your stuck on the wrong side of a fight. You might be the only one out of the group who has any skills, but your teammates lack the very essence of a brain. You get the uncanny privilege of standing in the ring opposite me….. As for you nightmare this should be nothing different from what your use to. Losing, and failing. Don’t be surprised when it happens though. It’s just like going to the office, you hate doing it…. But it’s all you can do!…. Cyrus as long as you stay focused on the match at hand we wont have an problems. Just know that I’ll be Chris Van X all night and will fight till it’s over. With Nightmare in the mix it wont take long before it is over though. The realm needs to be on notice now. I will hunt you all down, I will destroy you. The WWA will never become what we are here in the X…..C…..W!

~{Chris flick’s his blinker on and changes lanes, he takes a puff off his smoke as he checks his rear view mirror, he gets off a exit right outside of Tennessee. The camera fades to black as he pull’s into a gas station.}~
