~{Cameras open at the lake front home of Chris Van X. The scene is set of the back porch on a calm and cool Winter afternoon. The cameras show the built in grill with smoke pouring out of the exhaust chamber. As the camera pan’s around to the front of the grill and you see two huge steaks sitting on the rack. The cameras watches them for a moment as they cook. Then suddenly voices can be heard. The camera recognizes the voice to belong to Blake the longtime friend of Sean and Chris Van X.}~

Blake: Chris you want me to flip these steaks for you?

~{Blake is dressed in a pair of white New Balance with some Levi Jeans and a pull over plain white sweater. He has a Bud Light in his hand and he sets it down on the side of the grill and grab’s the spatula. He takes the first steak and flip’s it over to the other side. He then flip’s over the second steak and after he does he pours some of his beer onto the steak. You hear the steak hiss and sizzle as Blake turns and walks inside. Upon entering you see Chris Van X standing by the stove stirring a pot on it. He is dressed in some Timberland Boots with some baggy Tommy Jeans and a pull over Maddog “I am The Way, The Truth and The Hardcore Legend” shirt. Chris also has a bud light next to him and he look’s over at Blake.}~

CVX: Steaks about done?

Blake: Almost,

CVX: Good the corn and peas are almost ready.

Blake: Why the hell you cook that shit? We never eat it.

CVX: I need it to help me train.

Blake: Since when the fuck do you train?

CVX: Since I have two matches in one night.

Blake: So? You’ve wrestled in two matches in one night before.

CVX: Yea, but not with fifteen opponents in one night.

Blake: You sound paranoid

CVX: Not paranoid, just taking a few precautious step’s.

Blake: Whatever man,

CVX: Do you want some bread to go with it?

Blake: Nah,

~{Chris grabs a plate and walk’s towards the back porch again. He look’s at the two steaks which are on the grill then Chris slides the spatula under one and lifts it up. He plop’s it down on the plate. He then grabs the other steak and tosses it on top. Chris turns and walk’s back inside and sets the plate down near the stove.}~

CVX: Let’s eat man,

~{Chris grabs another clean plate and begins to get his corn and peas on it. He then takes a fork and jab’s into the top of the steak and slides it onto his plate. He grabs his beer and a knife and begins to walk to the living room. Blake just grabs the plate that Chris used to bring the steaks inside on along with a knife. He follows Chris to the living room and sets his plate down on the coffee table. }~

Blake: You want another beer?

CVX: Nah, this one will last me a few more.

~{Blake turns and walk’s back into the kitchen. He opens the refrigerator door. He reaches to the top shelf and grab’s a bottle of bud light and then grab’s some A1 steak sauce. Next to the steak sauce is a bottle of vitamins. Blake look’s at the bottle for a minute with a puzzled look. Then he slams the door shut and makes his way back to the living room.}~

Blake: You are turning into a pussy

CVX: What?

Blake: Your training now and your taking some vitamins? What the hell is up with that?

CVX: Fuck you, the vitamins are to help heal my gash on my leg I got the other week.

Blake: Where did you get a gash at?

CVX: When I was in Japan,

Blake: You went to Japan?

CVX: Yes you dumbass you drove me to the airport the other week.

Blake: Oh yea, I forgot.

CVX: I swear you smoke to much damn weed.

Blake: It just slipped my mind.

~{Chris flip’s the channels on the television set and shakes his head. He takes a swallow of his beer as he cuts his steak. The two men both sit there in silence and eat on the steak for a minute. Suddenly Blake breaks the short silence.}~

Blake: Shit,….

CVX: What?

Blake: My pager went off.

CVX: So,….ignore it.

Blake: It’s work, I bet they want to hold a meeting or something

CVX: Ignore it.

Blake: I can’t

CVX: Pussy

Blake: Whatever.

~{Blake takes his pager and places it on the coffee table. He stays seated and continues to cut his steak. He then takes the A1 sauce and pours all over it. He then pours a pile of sauce on the side of his plate using nearly the entire bottle. Blake then takes his fork and jabs it into a piece of steak already covered with sauce then dip’s it into the pile of sauce he made. Chris look’s over at him as he bites into his steak.}~

CVX: You should get some steak to go with that sauce.

~{Blake continues to chew his food and just roll’s his eyes at Chris. He takes a swallow of his beer and then as he does notices Chris is still starring at him. Blake look’s at Chris and buck’s up at him.}~

Blake: What?

CVX: Shit son can you even taste the steak? As much damn sauce you put on there.

Blake: Yea I can taste it.

CVX: You need to buy my another bottle of sauce, you used over two thirds of it on that one steak.

Blake: Stop whining.

~{Chris takes a bite of his steak as he turns his attention back to the television set in front of them. Both men sit there in silence for a moment watching some highlights from the day before. The two men are rather quite for a moment then once again Blake breaks the silence.}~

Blake: Guess who I ran into the other day,

CVX: Who?

Blake: Your brother.

~{The entire mood of the conversation quickly changes. Chris takes another bite of his peas and sits there chewing on it. He then washes it down with a swallow of beer and look’s over at Blake who is swallowing his steak.}~

CVX: Where at?

Blake: Lazy Bluffs club.

CVX: Figures he would be at a club.

Blake: He seems to be doing well,…. He was only drinking on coke.

CVX: Most likely it had some gin or jack in it.

Blake: He said he’s been off the wagon for nearly two months now. Hasn’t had a drop.

CVX: That’s good,….. Look’s like the sorry drunk finally came to his senses and got sober.

Blake: He’s even wrestling now,

CVX: Wrestling…… where at?

Blake: New England Wrestling Alliance.

CVX: Well that’s good.

Blake: He said he even has a tryout with TNA coming up.

CVX: TNA? What the hell do they want with him?

Blake: X-Division man, Sean does some extreme shit and he would fit in perfect with them.

CVX: Well that’s good for him.

Blake: He even asked about you man.

CVX: What did you tell him?

Blake: Told him you where doing fine.

CVX: Good,

Blake: He said to tell you hey.

CVX: Oh really?

Blake: Yea,….. He also um….. Mentioned if…..well you know

CVX: What?

Blake: He had just wanted to know if you had thought maybe about the possibility of you two teaming up again.

CVX: He said that?

Blake: Yea, He thought that maybe the two of you might want to give it one last run someplace.

CVX: Well what did you tell him?

Blake: I told him I didn’t know, that you hadn’t mentioned it or anything.

CVX: Oh,…

~{There is yet again another awkward silence. Both men are sitting there and Blake takes a swallow of beer. Chris stares off to the side like he is thinking really hard about something. Suddenly you hear Blakes pager vibrating on the coffee table. Blake reaches over and picks it up and look’s at it.}~

Blake: Damn,……

CVX: Work again?

Blake: Yea,….. Let me call them. I’ll be right back.

CVX: They are going to call you in.

~{Blake grabs the cordless phone by the couch and walks out to the back porch. Inside Chris is seen taking another bite of his corn. He sits there chewing it up slowly and the whole time has a far away look in his eyes. Chris then leans down and takes a swallow of beer and while he is sitting there barely notices Blake has reentered the room and is just standing there.}~

Blake: Yo….

~{Blake tosses the cordless phone down on the couch and grabs his beer. He then stands and stares at Chris and try’s to get his attention but cant. Chris seems lost in a world of his own and not reachable at the given time.}~

Blake: CHRIS!

CVX: What?

Blake: You look lost, you know how to get home?

CVX: Yea,

Blake: Good, I’m out

CVX: Work?

Blake: Yep,

CVX: Pussy,

Blake: You are what you eat.

CVX: Get the hell out of my house then bitch.

Blake: Fuck you,

~{Blake takes and polishes off the last swallow of his beer then sets the empty bottle back down. He takes one last bite of his steak as he pull’s his leather jacket on. He then reaches over and pump’s fist with Chris who is finishing off his peas. Blake walks out the front door and slams it behind him. Camera then flashes back to Chris who reaches over and mutes the television set.}~

CVX: Time slowly tick’s away, the weeks are turning to days, the days into hours,…… The hours will turn to minutes and the minutes will slowly turn to seconds. The emotions riding on a match of this caliber are tremendous. They are breath taking and overwhelming. This is a chance like no other….. For many men it is the only chance they will ever have at greatness. It is the only chance they possibly have to ever say, m the Worlds Champion” to ever be able to stand among peers not as a equal, but to stand among your peers as the man. The chance to gain respect you thought never possible. To be looked upon by one and all as the undisputed XCW Worlds Heavyweight Champion….. For some men in this contest it is not only a chance to shine above the rest. But it is a chance to ride out into the sunset as the best. A chance to finally take your boots off. Hang them on a peg in your closet and finally relax. Not just to leave the game….. But to leave the game on top….. No obligations afterwards. But for the fifteen of us entering into the Casualty Cell on that faithful night at the TD Banknorth Garden up in Boston, who among us shall rise? Who among us will step up? Who will come prepared both mentally and physically enough to climb into a structure such as this and battle through the other fourteen men in order to claim this prize? Who shall it be?……Even if you are prepared for it….. Can you survive it? Can you wade through the rough waters in front of you and make it through the storm? Can you overcome the odds if you are the one in the cage that everyone is gunning for? What if you slip, just one time inside the cage. What if you stumble just a little one time. Can you bounce back? Can you overcome the odds? Think about it, think long and hard….. Are you ready for something like this? Are you focused? It’s a great chance for you all,….. But in the end only one shall prevail.

CVX: As the time is coming upon us many men have come out and staked their claim to the gold already. But one man has made a stunning and wise move. Not only did I already have a slight respect for this man. But now that respect has grown even more. Kash said he has no interest in this causality cell match and that he is totally focused on Black Haze….. Yet another smart move by Kash. Why take a chance on a match where your chances of winning or less than ten percent. When you could put all your focus and all of your energy into one match where your chances are fifty percent? Kash I commend you for your efforts. I say give him hell and don’t stop at anything to keep from winning…….. But men like Drake Daniels….. Will he make the same choice? Will he wise up to what is going on around him and know that the chances of him winning the Causality Cell match are so small that he has a better shot of being in a plane crash? That he and Kaine Salvo both should just focus themselves on the tag team match up and know that they stand a lot greater of a chance of beating those two fucktards than the do a chance of beating Chris Van X. Hell Drake you have a better chance of hitting the lottery than you do of beating me. Drake will you wise up and take the high road? The smart road in your case? Or will you still demand that you are man enough to be a force in the cell?……In all honesty Drake……. Don’t fool yourself. Don’t try to be something your not. ……. Then that brings me to Drake’s partner Salvo….. A man I’m no stranger to. A man who claimed he would beat Chris Van X in the ring. A man who said that without weapons Chris Van X was nothing. A man who claimed he was more dangerous than me. Kaine Salvo is yet again a man I call a unbeliever. He is a man who I have proven to be wrong time after time after time. He is a man who thinks what he wants and no matter what the outcome is each and every time he goes on thinking the exact same thing. A man like this is the exact same no matter how many times you beat him. No matter how many times you prove him wrong he will continue to go on thinking just like he did before. Salvo will just once again wake up and realize that he was wrong. But will he admit it? Will he say that he was beaten by a better man?……No he will just go on again yet another day crying and whining until he finds yet another ear to listen to his woes.

~{Chris has finally finished his food and he moves the plate off to the side. He then reaches over and grab’s his cigarettes and lighter. As he pull’s a cigarette out of the box he reaches for his beer with the other hand. Chris takes a swallow of beer then replaces the bottle with a smoke in his mouth. He lights the cigarette up and takes a long drag off of it. He exhales the smoke through his nose and then look’s back at the camera.}~

CVX: See this match is a match that everyone can relate to. From the big time movie star’s like Eddie Murphy, Billy Bob Thorton, Stallone and Tara Reid. To your lower class star’s like Johnny Knoxville, Ashton Kutcher, Cedric The Entertainer and Ice Cube. To your complete geeks off the street’s. People like Attica who have no right to not only be in this match but to even be in the same arena as someone like Chris Van X. A man who one proud moment in his career was when he managed to beat Acid in a high incident match way back when. Back before Acid became the beast we all knew before his departure from the sport. But Attica has done nothing from the victory but gloat about it. He has not continued a winning streak or to my knowledge and the knowledge of the general public has not even won another match since then. He has just proven what a fluke he was and what a fluke he really is. I give drake Daniels a small chance to win, I give Kash a small chance…… Hell I even give Salvo a chance to win but Attica sits at the bottom of the barrel. His has no chance…..You want to know why? It’s because when the bell ring Chris Van X is going to shove his boot so far up Attica’s ass that he will be digging dog shit out of his teeth. Attica is pawn in this a match. A pawn who won’t make it out in one piece…….Unlike Attica though Reaper Damien Grim is a man with focus. A man with determination. A man who has already said he is gunning for Chris Van X! He knows he wont win this match. But I give him a bit more credit than that. He has a small chance of winning. Not much but a chance none the less. But he’s not focused on winning this match. Reaper Damien Grim is focused on earning some r…..e…..s…..p.….e……c….t. And namely he wants it out of me. Reaper let me make this clear to you. Respect is something hard to come by. I don’t pass it out to many people……Hell the list of wrestler I respect is so fucking small I only need half a post it note to write the list down on. I’ll make it clear who I respect right here and now….. Annie Alvarez,…….Kash……. Jeremy Clarkson and Acid. No Maddog on that list, no Titan, no Cyrus, no other person wrestling in this sport. So if your ass wants to climb into the respect category you best bring everything you have to earn it. Because I’m not handing it out at the door like it’s Halloween night. Damien you might be gunning for me at Life Support but incase you haven’t noticed so are a hell of a lot of others. So I say get in line and I’ll be with you as soon as possible.

~{Chris has his feet propped up on the coffee table. He reaches over and flicks the ashes off his cigarette into the ashtray next to him on the couch. He takes a swallow from his beer as he gazes back at the camera.}~

CVX: Oh the list of fool’s grows and grows with each passing moment. The tag team of Double Lightning is next on the list of absurd fool’s who have no point. A team that not only acts really, really, really retarded. They suck as well. Two more fool’s who are dead set on putting up a fight against Chris Van X. Two more fool’s who like all the other will go down as losers and who will never amount to anything. They might be a great tag team but when’s the last time they faced a real team? Could they last in the ring for five minutes with the Van X BoyZ? Hell no they couldn’t. They couldn’t even last five minutes with Sean Van X alone. Much less both of us. Let me make this clear Bill and Mike. After your asses do your little spin heel kick. I want you both to look at each other then look at me as I get back to my feet and show you what it takes to be the “King of Hardcore”……. Speaking of other fool’s let me jump right over to Black Haze….. The longest reigning Industrial champion in XCW history. A man who managed to beat Greg Manix just a few weeks after he got out of his wheelchair. Haze I congratulate you on your reign. That’s quite impressive. That’s something clearly to be proud of. But the one thing you never have and never will do is beat me. Haze I’ve always said you where riding the curtail of luck. That you where just squeaking by time after time…… Now is the time it will be proven. If you are what you claim to be I dare you to prove it. I am challenging you now to step up to the plate and prove your worthy of what you have asked…….The chances of you doing that are small I know…..But the chances of your winning is even less. Haze don’t disappoint us like you have so many times before…….. Another man that is set to participate in this match is none other than Dante. One of the forces of the weak ass invasion. Dante was one of the smart ones who took the contract Jeremy Clarkson offered and he came over to the big boat. Upon arrival Dante promised to wreak havoc. To be a enforcer of sorts in the ring. He promised to turn some heads and make a huge ass impact…… He made a small splash, he may have one a match or two. But Dante never was and never will be anything. Dante was a talker and not a doer. He took Chris Van X to the limit one night. But even with the help of the hardcore legend Maddog he couldn’t manage to push me over the edge and sneak away with the victory. Dante you are unlike many of the men I have already spoke of. You actually do have something to bring to the table. You do stand a chance of winning. But like that night when we faced off one on one. When the time comes can your produce? Can your provide what we have all been wanting to see? Can you show us the talent we have all been patiently waiting to see? Or will you once again leave us hanging? Leave us waiting…… Dante what shall we see from you? What will you do? Can you show us?

CVX: As my list slowly trim’s down one by one I must admit the word’s are only spoken as of yet in a soft tone. But as the final few are upon us the men left will hear much harsher things. More out spoken things. For instance I’m going to speak on Nightmare,…… the biggest joke in wrestling. The man who lead that invasion into XCW and promised to take over. He promised results and failed to do so. He claimed to come in and over throw me as the King and to take every title in the federation. A man who was given opportunity after opportunity to make good on his word and he failed each and every time. The only thing good to come of his invasion for his side was Mortis Magnus capturing the worlds title…… Too bad for him he couldn’t manage to hold on to it and too bad for Nightmare it came only after the invasion was dead. Nightmare was soon after publicly fired. Sent out of XCW like the piece of crap he really is. Now for one night only Clarkson has given him a chance to redeem himself. A chance to go out on top…… Well I’ll be damned if there is anyway in hell I am going to let a sorry son of a bitch like Nightmare take something he has no right whatsoever of even being near. I’m going to make it my personal business to take Nightmare and break his ass in half and send him home. You can mark my fucking words on that ‘Mare. You won’t make it out of Life Support without knowing that Chris Van X could care less if you fell off a bridge onto a pile of sharp rocks. You’re a sorry piece of shit and I plan on making sure you know it personally…….Speaking of another piece of shit that brings me to Smitty. Not only once do I get to wrap my hand’s around his throat and squeeze the life out of him. I get to do it twice. I wont spend much time on him because in the Cell he wont be there very long. His time will be short inside the cell because I wont leave much over from the three way dance. But Smitty know this…….. Facing Chris Van X twice in the same night is like having the FBI and the U.S. Marshals after your ass…….Either way your screwed.

~{Chris finishes off the last drag of his smoke and he drop’s the empty butt into the ashtray. Chris then reaches over and takes the last swallow of his beer as he sits there and quietly reflects for a moment. Then he raises his voice up once more.}~

CVX: Now we have come to the jolly green giant…..We have come to Titan. A man who claims all different types of shit. A man who claims he beat Chris Van X many months ago. A man who was out there declaring victory again over Chris Van X before House of Chains. A match that never took place and for the sake of Titan it was best that it didn’t. The embarrassment alone would have sent him running into retirement. Now it’s only fitting that Chris Van X be the one to take the belt right in front of Titan and prove why he was such a fucking joke. Prove why he never was as good as he claimed and the only damn reason he got that victory that night was because Chris Van X did all the dirty work and Titan just happen to roll into the ring at the right time…… But this time Titan the chance of you winning aren’t even showing up on the fucking radar boy. I want you to take a good look at that XCW Worlds Heavyweight championship at the beginning of the match. Because when the bell sounds at the end the only thing you will see is Chris Van X holding it as I walk out of the ring and out of the arena……Titan you’re a seven foot joke. Your career was nothing and you are nothing. You might think you hold a edge over all the others because you won that belt in this exact same match. But one major difference is that Chris Van X wasn’t in this match the first go around. Now he is and now you must stand up and fight like a real man. Titan can you do it?…..highly unlikely boy…..Really unlikely,…..Titan after I slap your ass around that cell and then I put your shoulders down on the mat for the pin I want you to know that the greatest moment of your career was the night you got to stand side by side in the ring with me and Cyrus at Crossing the Lines because that’s the closes you will ever get to greatness……… The last man in this match besides myself is none other than Cyrus. The man who carried XCW on his back literally for over three months. The man that everyone said was the face of XCW and was the backbone. He lead us into the invasion like a general would lead his army. He stood side by side and delivered every blow and every punch…….but Cyrus failed in one aspect of that war and he failed miserably……When the time came for him to come up big and beat Mortis Magnus he couldn’t do it….. Ever since then Cyrus has been a shell of what he once was, he is a empty vessel just sailing along….. But much like the Titanic his ship is going to sink. When he reaches a iceberg called Chris Van X and I once again beat the shit out of Cyrus….. The renegades are no more and he has no help going into this match. When the cell door closes he wont have any way of escape and he will be beaten within every inch of his short pathetic life…..Cyrus I have beaten you before and I will beat you again. Your ass is weak and I plan on exposing that to everyone. I will hurt you…… just like before Cyrus I will make you bleed. I will make your every nightmare become a reality when I……. Not you Cyrus but when I am crowned the new XCW Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

CVX: The match is simple the rules are obvious. But who shall prevail? I plan on making sure that no matter what Chris Van X chalks up two victories. Possibly the two biggest victories of his XCW career. The question still remains……Who if anyone can save XCW?…… The truth is no one can….. And no one will. Chris Van X will ride off into the sunset as the XCW champion….

~{Chris rises from his seat on the couch. He grabs his plate and stacks it on top of the dirty plate of his friend Blake. He then grabs the two empty beer bottles in his hand as he walk into the kitchen and the camera fades.}~
