~{Cameras open at the bar in south side Philly where Chris Van X hangs out at regularly. The bar is pretty full with most people crowded around the television sets watching the LSU and Tennessee match up. The horseshoe shaped bar is packed from one side to the other with mainly single people out looking to pick up someone or just to relax after work. In walks Chris Van X wearing his black Timberland boots, some blue jeans, a black “King of Hardcore” shirt and a black bandanna covering his head. He sits down at the bar and apparently has already been in. He lifts up the beer in front of him and takes a swallow. The bartender turns around and look’s at him.}~

Bartender: Well unless a miracle happens we are going to overtime,

CVX: Well I guess worse things have happen, LSU will pull through though. They better since I got a bill riding on them.

Bartender: Well with that interception we are heading into overtime.

CVX: Damn, I am going out for another smoke, I can’t stand high pressure situations.

~{Chris takes the last swallow of his beer then gets up and walks towards the door. He swings the door open and the cool Philadelphia night air hits him. He look’s around then walks over a few feet from the door and lights up a cigarette. He inhales the smoke then exhales it through his nose. He look’s at the camera and begins to speak.}~

CVX: I guess everyone is now going to start the questions. Start running their mouths and wondering. When will Chris Van X and Memnoch step into the ring together. When will these two men face off? Well the question is easy to answer whenever Memnoch has the ball’s enough to come at me like a man I am ready. Chris Van X isn’t scared of no fucking snake. I’m sure as hell not scared of Memnoch. As much as he might run his mouth off to reporters he needs to know this. I’ve been through hell and back and some piece of washed up trash like you wont bother me. You say I need to learn my place? I say bitch you better get back down on your knees and finish sucking Clarkson off before you begin to run your mouth. If your ass wants a piece of the “King of Hardcore” I say you better bring a fucking army, because if you don’t I will make it look like a train wreck with your crippled ass eating oatmeal trough a straw for the rest of your life. So you need to watch your back because you never know when Chris Van X might strike,

~{Chris gets a drag off his cigarette and as he does the door to the bar swings open and two guys come walking out. They are talking to each other and you hear them mention the game. Chris pipes into the conversation quickly.}~

CVX: Hey boss who won the game?

Guy: Tennessee did,

CVX: Damn,….. Thanks a lot.

~{The guy nods at Chris who shakes his head for a moment. He then takes another puff off his smoke while he stands there and look’s into the busy streets. He then look’s back over at the camera and begins to speak.}~

CVX: Well this past Meltdown was full of surprises and shocks now wasn’t it? Well not really everyone in the world knew that Chris Van X and Annie Alvarez would walk away as the new XCW Tag Team Champions. The only question was how would we do it. Now I’m sure Spiker and Sean are going to come out here and run their mouths saying Memnoch cheated and lost them the match. But the simple fact of the matter is you two fools where going to lose the moment the match was booked. So you can go scream screw job, scream you where robbed. But the truth is you guys didn’t stand a chance. I say anytime you want a rematch, bring what you can to the fight. I’m sure Annie wont mind defending her titles and I for one sure as hell don’t mind slapping around two fool’s like you. The question really is do you two want to climb back in the ring? If so I say you can name the time, you can name the place….. I’ll even let you boys name the stipulations. Just remember this guys you not only lost your tag team titles to the “King of Hardcore” Chris Van X…… You also lost to a girl….. Now how do you like them apples?

~{Chris takes another drag off his cigarette then flicks the empty butt out onto the street curb. He turns and walk’s around back inside the building and goes back up to the bar. He doesn’t sit down but pull’s out his wallet he look’s up at the bartender.}~

CVX: What’s the damage?

Bartender: Ten forty eight.

CVX: Here you go keep the change,

Bartender: I appreciate it Chris, I’ll see you later.

CVX: Aight fool,

~{Chris slides the twenty dollar bill over to the bartender then turns and begins to walk out. One of the guys shooting pool’s nod’s and points over at Chris. Chris nods back at him as he exit’s the bar. Chris is now back outside and begins to make his way to the parking lot. He walks up to his truck and swings the door open and jumps in. The camera angle then switches inside and Chris is driving down the road.}~

CVX: Now before I get to my opponents for this week I need to address someone who keep’s mentioning my name. This persons name is Titan,…. Now for some ungodly reason this lousy piece of trash comes waltzing back up in here like the owns the place. Like he is the XCW savior. But he need’s to come back down the earth and notice that while he took his little vacation and ran off scared, me and a few others stood tall in XCW and defended our turf. We are the ones who XCW stood firm with. Not him, so he need’s to take his jolly green giant ass and go on back wherever he was. You said you’ve beaten me before? I think you need to go back and check again. You never beat Chris Van X, you may have beaten my drunk of a brother. But not me. You pinned Cyrus remember? Not me. And you could only beat Cyrus after I gave him a pile driver through a barb-wire board and nearly snapped his neck. Then and only then could you manage to get the pin fall. But Chris Van X was never eliminated from that tournament. Unlike you who lost miserably to Danny Polar. Who in fact I took beyond the limits and put that sorry mother fucker out of this tournament and out of his misery. Never to be seen nor heard from again. Then I went on to beat Jeremy Clarkson possibly the most dangerous man walking the face of the earth today, So Titan before you even think for a second your going to walk in here and smart off to Chris Van X you better get your ass back in line.

~{Chris reaches into his pocket and grabs his cigarettes. He pull’s one out and begins to look at it while he lights it up. After he takes a few puff’s off of it he looks at the camera again.}~

CVX: Now Clarkson has got me scheduled in a triple threat match for this week. Against some fool’s name Kaine Salvo and Slayer…. Now I watched some of the match Salvo had this week against Black Haze, the least I can say for him is he wasn’t the most impressive person I’ve seen lately. He lacks the ring experience that is needed and doesn’t seem to have any type of offense. But that’s the least of his worries. The biggest part of his problem is he has to contend with Chris Van X. I mean honest to god could he have come into this federation in a worse way? First losing to a OVERATTED champion in Black Haze then next week you draw one of the short straws in the back to be booked against Chris Van X the next week. Hell son what’s going to happen to you next have to go one on one with my tag team partner Annie Alvarez? I mean it’d be a shame to see you lose your first three matches. Bad enough you will be losing your first two…… Now I’m sure you will come out here and talk about how I am underestimating you, and how you will surprise me. Well son you need to understand this, I am not underestimating you. I am overestimating you. Your skills lack those of what it takes. So don’t think for a minute Chris Van X is not taking you seriously. I am trust me. But I wont lose any sleep at night worrying about having to face you.

CVX: But then on the other side of this ball is the man who hold’s not one….. But two victories over our former World champion Acid. Not to mention this man was hand selected by president Clarkson to enter into the Octagon Chain Death Match. I mean you must be floating on cloud nine right now…… Main eventing…. A pay per view. It’s like Christmas in September….. Next thin you know you will be getting such a big head you will think you are going to stand the slightest chance in the world of beating me. Now Slayer I’m sure your going to talk about how you beat Acid,…. Not once but twice….. Then you will talk about how Clarkson sees something in you that no one else does. How you have made such a impact in XCW that you have already been a X-Treme champion and you are getting a shot at the worlds. Well son I couldn’t give two left nuts about all of that. Because quite frankly you don’t have the ball’s to step up to the plate and deliver the type of match that is required to be a main eventer. Your just some punk off the street who has gotten lucky a few times. But when it comes down to it you choke on the big one just like the Eagles,….. Slayer when you get to walk down the aisle and climb in the ring and you look across at Salvo. The two of you better know that deep down inside of each of you that you want to win so bad that you will do anything. But when Chris Van X walks out whatever you bring to him he will take, I will take whatever you dish out then send just a little more back than you sent. Because Slayer whatever the two of you manage to bring at me….. I’ve seen and taken a lot worse. So don’t ever not even for a minute think to yourself you have the slightest chance of beating me. Because Slayer your just not man enough.

~{Chris chuckles silently to himself as he takes the last drag off his cigarette. He look’s at the camera then roll’s down his window slightly and flicks the butt out onto the street. He roll’s the window back up then looks at the camera again.}~

CVX: Now with Acid leaving it has left the Worlds Title up for grabs. Now everyone watched as myself and Cyrus walked out and stood in the ring with Acid for his final moments in XCW. That was just a sign of respect for what the man has accomplished. Me and Acid weren’t friends in the back and we didn’t travel together. The man earned everything he got and I felt the need to tell him goodbye. But I didn’t want to talk about Acid. Jeremy Clarkson has constructed some type of Chain match inside of a octagon. Now with Slayer already in it, and Kash and Titan fighting over one spot. It only leaves four remaining spots left….. Chris Van X is making it public right now, that he is tired of sitting back and watching everyone else try and get a piece of the spotlight. I have settled for middle of the card matches since I have walked in the company. It’s never bothered me not to be in the main event. As long as I got paid I was happy. But times have changed a bit. I’m ready for something new, something different. So at House of Chains you can bet that by hook or by crook Chris Van X will be inside that octagon and that somehow he will be walking at as the new XCW World Champion. So to Kash, Titan, Slayer and anyone else who plan’s on making a bid to enter the octagon…… Remember that the King of Hardcore will be inside and will be fully intending on walking out as the champ….. Boy’s it’s time things begin to change…..

~{Chris look’s at the camera with a smirk. He then puts his eyes back on the road and the camera watches him for a moment. Then is slowly fades to black.}~
