One of the biggest event’s of the year took place on Sunday August Twenty Eighth. When live from the Pepsi Center Xtreme Championship Wrestling presented Crossing The Lines live and only of pay per view. The card at a glance was one to die for. With exciting matches such as the Xtreme title match, to the first ever four way singles ladder match for the tag team titles. Then you had the classic matches which featured Chris Van X and Maddog going at each others throat, to the retirement match of Curtis Schmitt who took on Jeremy Clarkson. Let’s not forget the main event which was both a classic match and a exciting one. This card on paper was set up to be one of the biggest events in history….. But paper did it no justice!

The show started off with a bang when Jeremy Clarkson announced to the world that the WWA invasion was over. The news was a shock to many but the war was just heating up.

We crowned new tag team champions when Sean Todd Wilde and Spiker managed to climb the ladder and get them each a title. Then in a battle royal full of excitement and surprises we saw the return of the legend in Pike Daniels a UWWF legend. The battle royal was capped off by a impressive victory for Dante. Also Black Haze was the only champion to retain his title in his absolute massacre of Drake Daniels.

The best half of the show was still to come. In one of the most extreme matches in history with everything from light bulb tubes and barb-wire bats to staple guns and fire ants. Jeremy Repent Clarkson destroyed his former partner and friend in one of the biggest matches in the history of XCW. The long and famous career of Bonez has finally taken a horrible turn and was capped off with another loss. The man may have been a legend, but from his antics in the last year he will go down as a loser.

The fallouts between Chris Van X and Maddog over the last few months have become increasingly outrageous. With trashing of the home, the kidnapping of one Sean Van X and the attempt to run Maddog over. The feud has been heating up for months and it has root’s that go back five years. When the time came to settle the score it couldn’t be done. Maddog was involved in a car accident outside the building and never made it inside. The war between these two may not get to continue for months to come.

The Xtreme title match was everything it was cracked up to be and more. After one hard fought and grueling match Acid had everything locked, cocked and ready to take home when he went to end the match Slayer somehow rolled out of the way and Acid cracked through the glass and was attacked by a tank full of hungry piranhas. Slayer was one lucky man that night as he captured the Xtreme Title from the sick one.

The show couldn’t have had a bigger main event. Mortis Magnus took on Cyrus in one of the sickest matches to date. After one of the most hardcore matches in history Cyrus climbed out of the cage and touched the floor to retain his title. But when the referees handed Mortis the title instead shock hit the world as Mortis Magnus had climbed out from underneath the ring and was declared the Worlds champion.

The show was better than anyone could have ever imagined and was well worth the price of admission. With the return of the hardcore legend Pike Daniels to the demise of several WWA superstars. The pay per view will forever live on in the XCW record book’s and be one of the biggest DVD’s in history. The end was capped off by a mega stare down between the new world champion and the rest of the WWA stars and the former XCW world champion Cyrus who stood next to the King of Hardcore and the returning Titan.

Without wasting anytime Jeremy Clarkson is packing up the XCW boat and sailing along to the desert is Nevada. When the newly crowned World Champion defends his gold against one of his partners in the invasion Dante. The Iceman Moe Hunter also look’s to make a impact for WWA when he goes up against the King of Hardcore Chris Van X….. The feud between the WWA and XCW will unfold even more when Nightmare and Kash team up to take on the returning Titan and the sick one himself Acid. With seven quality matches in all look for this Meltdown to be one of the biggest show’s in history.

~{Cameras open up at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. The camera first show’s the outside of the arena and traffic is lined up trying to exit. The camera does a pan of the nearby city street’s which has thousands of cars attempting to leave the arena. Cameras then flash inside the arena where the ring crew is disassembling the ring and packing it up for shipment. The camera then shows a figure seating in a seat in the upper deck area of the arena. He sits alone and has his leg propped up over the seat in front of him. The camera comes closer and you see the man to be Chris Van X. He is dressed in a pair of tear away white Nike wind pants, with white Nike low tops and a black XCW shirt. His bald head is covered by a black bandanna and his right fist is still taped up. He look’s at the camera for a minute.}~

CVX: One of the most shocking event’s in XCW history took place in that very ring they are dismantling and getting ready to send down the road. Cyrus our every own world’s heavyweight champion went into a film noir death match along with Mortis Magnus and beat him at his own game. Cyrus then climbed out of the cage and down to the ground….. Only to find that Mortis Magnus had created another way out. It left everyone amazed and shocked including me. Then when the rest of the WWA members came charging out and where trying to celebrate I knew that I couldn’t allow that to happen. Not in a XCW ring….. Not on my watch. I knew that it couldn’t take place like that. With all my feeling’s of anger towards Cyrus and Titan I stood side by side with them and laid down the law. I seriously don’t think WWA or any other group would have liked to fuck with us right then and there. If they would have choose to, I can promise that they would have left the Pepsi Center on stretchers and body bag’s instead of in limo’s and caddy’s.

~{Chris Van X rises from his seat and begins to make his way down the aisle towards the exit. He walk’s through the breezeway and into the general area where the crew is busy cleaning up the mess. Chris walk’s a little way’s down until he reaches a big set of double doors. As he goes through those door’s he look’s back at the camera.}~

CVX: Before everyone start’s making accusations and accusing me of causing the accident I just want everyone to know I didn’t have a damn thing to do with the wreck Maddog was in…. I had been at the arena for several hour’s and not even went looking for him until our match started….. I’d much rather seen the man in the ring then placed on the stretcher. But tough is tough and I don’t care that he is hurt. I’d just rather I’d been the one to do it and not some cheap Honda.

~{Chris is now in his locker room and is packing up his duffle bag. He zip’s the bag up and look’s around as he exit’s the room. He begins to make his way down the hallway towards the parking garage. As Chris Van X gets closer to the door you can see light’s flashing everywhere. Chris walk’s through the door’s and when he does he sees fire trucks, a ambulance, and several police vehicles. He look’s around for a minute then sees a visibly upset Joey Styles talking to a police officer. Joey look’s over at Chris and then walks over towards him along with a officer.}~

CVX: Styles what happen out here?

Styles: Cyrus got ran over….. The police want to talk to you.

CVX: About what?

~{Joey Styles has a real puzzled look on his face as the officer step’s up in front of Chris with a note pad and a pen in hand. Chris look’s at him for a moment then at Styles.}~

CVX: What do you want?

Officer: Hi, I’m Officer O’Leary from the Denver Police Department. I’d like to have a few word’s with you and ask a few questions.

CVX: Like what.

Officer: Well first off may I ask where you were around a hour ago.

CVX: Sitting in row “W” seat forty seven….

Officer: Anyone to verify this?

CVX: Yea…

Officer: Who would that be?

CVX: Me.

~{Chris has a very ill look on his face at this point and doesn’t seem to happy about being questioned by the police. Joey Styles sees the look of anger on Chris’ face and step’s in the conversation.}~

Styles: I will find someone to verify his location officer. It wont be hard we got over thirty men in the arena packing up still.

CVX: Let me ask you something officer….

Officer: What’s that?

CVX: Where were you at about a hour ago?

Officer: Excuse me?

CVX: You can accuse me of this? I will accuse you of it.,

Officer: I don’t think you understand the seriousness of this situation right now…. That man is seriously hurt. Someone tried to run him over and could have killed him. The injuries to him are very severe.

CVX: He had over half of those injuries before he left the building. You guys don’t know crap.

Styles: Officer he is right, Cyrus was involved in a very aggressive match earlier tonight and was already very beaten up.

Officer: Well then, how about you showing me your vehicle then.

CVX: How about you show me yours?

Officer: You keep avoiding my questions I will! I will also show you a six by eight foot room in downtown Denver that you can stay the night in.

Styles: Come’ on Chris. I know you didn’t do this. You know you didn’t lets to show this guy so you can get out of here.

~{Chris turns and begins to walk towards another section of the parking garage. The officer follows behind him as well as Joey Styles. After a moment they arrive at the red Ford F150 belonging to Chris Van X. the officer examines the tires then walk’s around to the front to see damage done to the brush guard and some body damage.}~

Officer: What is this from?

~{Chris had never got the damage done to his truck fixed from where he slammed it into Maddog’s car. The officer look’s at him for a moment and Chris has blank look on his face. Joey Styles sees that Chris might be getting into more trouble and he finally pipe’s up.}~

Styles: It is from a stunt we coordinated a few weeks back.

Officer: A stunt? What sort of stunt/?

Styles: We had Chris run into the side of someone else’s car.

Officer: You know that’s dangerous? Was there anyone in the other car?

Styles: No of course not, We had skilled professionals on hand helping us and had all types of emergency workers on hand just in case.

~{Chris look’s at Joey Styles with a shocked look on his face. Joey manages to keep a straight face however while looking at the officer who is writing a few thing’s down in his book.}~

Officer: Well what is your relationship between the victim and yourself?

CVX: Look I’ve had enough questions so far. I’m leaving, Mr. Styles will direct you to someone who can verify my whereabouts. If you still need further questioning done you can have Mr. Styles set up a appointment. Otherwise have a good day.

Officer: Fine, but believe me. If for any reason we feel you are a suspect or no one can verify you where were you said you where. We will issue a warrant for your arrest.

CVX: Whatever,

~{The officer turn’s and begins to walk away back towards the scene of the accident. Joey Styles watches him walk away for a minute then look’s over at Chris who has climbed inside the truck and cranked it up. Chris roll’s down the window and look’s at Styles}~

CVX: Well Styles you know I don’t like to do this, but….

Styles: Look don’t worry about it. I’ll handle the cop’s. Just remember this because in a few week’s I’m going to want a official sit down interview with you.

CVX: We’ll see.

Styles: did you see the card in the back before you left?

CVX: Yea, I saw it.

Styles: Well I spoke to Jeremy about it myself and he said he is really counting on you to take care of this guy for us.

CVX: Trust me, with missing my match with Maddog and everything else that has went on. You can bet on the fact that I am going to handle this.

Styles: Good, I’m glad to hear that,…. So how is Sean doing?

CVX: Beat’s me man…. Last I heard he was doing better. But that may have not lasted long.

Styles: Well send him my best wishes, and I’ll let you go. Talk to you later Chris.

~{Chris roll’s up the side window of his truck and back’s out of the parking garage. He then pull’s out into one of the many traffic jam’s in town and gets ready to head home to Philadelphia for the week. Camera angle flashes inside his truck where the mood is very dark.}~

CVX: Seems Cyrus got attacked outside the arena. I guess taking the man’s title from him wasn’t enough. Trying to end his career is what you wanted. Well from what I heard you may have succeeded in doing just that. Too bad you group of cowards couldn’t bring it like men to the ring earlier tonight. When myself, Cyrus and Titan where standing in the ring you guys could have come back down there and really stood up like men and faced us. But that wouldn’t be like you guys would it? You guys can’t handle a fair fight…. Hell most of you can’t even handle a fight. Bunch of cowards who don’t have anywhere to call home. I say you are all lucky that we even let you walk into our door’s, Much less the fact that Clarkson is giving a few of you the chance to sign XCW contracts? I must admit I am not happy about it by any means. But the truth is this. It’s a smart move for Clarkson. Bad move for the poor fool’s who actually sign it though.

~{Chris reaches over into his center console and pull’s back a pack of Newport King’s. He flip’s the top open and pull’s one of the cancer stick’s out of the box and then place’s it in his mouth. He then take’s the Zippo lighter he carries with him and light’s up the smoke. He then place’s it in his mouth as he look’s at the camera then take’s a few puff’s off of it.}~

CVX: Now Clarkson may have went out and offered a few XCW contracts to a few WWA wrestlers. But the truth of the matter is this. He isn’t looking for these guys to come and bring life to XCW. Remember we are the life. We are the ones with a pulse. We keep the blood flowing and the heart beating. XCW is XCW because it’s XCW. We don’t need any other fool’s to walk in here to help us make it through. Our rough times are like most place’s high times. Some people may think we talk a lot of trash but the simple fact of the matter is we handle it in the ring before we handle it out of it. We back up everything we say, we leave nothing to rest and we do what we do in the ring! If you don’t believe me tune in next Tuesday night when I square off against Moe Hunter.

CVX: Moe Hunter was another one of the WWA faithful who came into XCW claiming to take us over. Shut us down and dominate. You where suppose to be a impact player in the WWA, and where suppose take XCW by storm…. Heh, the storm was more like someone turning on the sprinkler to water the lawn. Yea it may have gotten thing’s a bit wet but the water didn’t make it off the ground. Moe Hunter is and never will be the type of caliber wrestler that work’s in XCW. He’s no Acid, He’s no Titan, He’s no Cyrus, hell I wouldn’t even classify him as a Bonez. Moe Hunter is someone who with him your company will be fine, without him…. Yet again you will be fine… He call’s himself the Iceman but in all honesty your more like the Water boy. You talk a big game and have accomplished many thing’s over in WWA but being in the WWA compared to XCW is a lot like being in the CFL compared to the NFL. You may have been the all time rushing leader in the CFL, broken the single game record for most touchdowns and rushed for more yard’s than the next two men combined. But when you sign a deal to come play in the NFL you get ran over week in and week out and after your two year contract is up your agent can’t seem to find a team that will sign you…… Moe Hunter welcome to the big leagues….. Welcome to the NFL!….. Welcome to Xtreme Championship Wrestling!

~{Chris has finished off his cigarette and flick’s it out the truck window and it bounces out onto the ground. I sit here writing this wondering if anyone actually reads this part. Somehow I doubt they do but I write it anyways just incase and if anyone does read this please let me know.}~

CVX: Moe Hunter this week your task lay’s before you. It’s very simple for you right? I mean all you have to do is walk in the ring and beat me right? It’s simple huh?…. Moe Hunter the night you finally make your decision on signing that XCW contract is the same night you get to meet your destiny. The same name you get to climb inside the ring with the King of Hardcore and fight with him. Easy right? Well Moe Hunter if you and your friend Chloe are sitting back at home now saying to yourselves it’s going to be a easy task you need to wake up and smell the sweet roses. Because Moe Hunter if you have ever needed to sit down and get a game plan. If you have ever needed to hit the gym, say your prayers and take your vitamins now is the time. Because when you come to the ring to see me you wont be going straight home. You’ll have to swing by the hospital to get your head sewed shut and then by the local Walgreen’s to get your pain killers. Moe I will hurt you…. I will make you feel pain. I wont stand here and say you may not get some offense in. But I promise you this, the beating you will receive from me will be something you should get use to. Because when you sign that XCW contract you will be wrestling on a higher level of competition than you have ever seen. Moe Hunter on Tuesday night I plan on making a example out of you to all the rest of the WWA scum…. Your losers,…. Born losers. Who lose! Your federation lose so you try come ride our coattails. Well so far it has worked. But now we are taking our coats off and ready to get down to business and our business is beating the shit out of scum…. Just like you.

~{Chris look’s deep into the camera then finally focuses back on the road. The camera watches as the traffic has finally cleared up out of his way and he is now on the interstate headed back home.}~
