“Where is this idiot?……. Man Maddog has done it again, Ultra-Hardgore steel cage. The man is setting me up for glory…… Good lord where is this guy? He is already five minutes late. I’m about to dip.”

~{Chris take’s his last puff off his smoke and then flip’s the butt into the parking lot. He jump’s off the hood of the Jeep and reaches in his pocket for his key’s. As he does a silver car comes pulling into the parking lot going out extremely fast for a parking lot. The silver car comes to a halt a few feet away from the yellow jeep and a man jump’s out.}~

Man: Chris it’s me, Jimmy Master from Pro Wrestling Insider.

Chris: Your late,

Jimmy: Yea, This downtown traffic is a beast.

Chris: Well guess what, you made me wait for you. Now you get to wait for me.

~{Chris reaches down into his pocket and pull’s out his smoke’s. He take’s and pop’s one in his mouth and then light’s it up. He then turn’s and start’s to walk towards the building. Jimmy Master follows him and Chris turn’s around.}~

Chris: I told you to wait.

~{The harsh tone in Chris’ voice is heard and Jimmy stop’s dead in his track’s. Chris then turn’s back around and walk’s towards the back of the building. Jimmy stands there and look’s up into the blue sky. He then look’s down at his watch then start’s to say thing’s off his clip board. After a few moments Chris Van X comes walking back over and has a roll of barb-wire in his arm. He sling’s it into the back of his Jeep and then finishes off his smoke. He then look’s at Jimmy Master and smiles.}~

Chris: You ready?

Jimmy: Yea,

Chris: Ask away,

Jimmy: First question, You had your chance at Bloody Knuckles to defeat Maddog, but you came up short. What sort of emotions are you carrying with this loss?

Chris: You see that’s the thing with you people. You see winning and losing. Not me, not Clarkson, not Maddog, It run’s deeper than just that. It’s about what’s inside. When me and Maddog meet face to face I released the demon’s within me. Maddog felt my pain, he saw me from the inside and not from out. I accomplished what I wanted with that match. Now there will come a time when me and him shall meet again and we will finish what we have started. But Maddog knows that I can bring to the table just as much as he can.

Jimmy: You made your return to Meltdown by busting out of a casket and attacking both Maddog and Cyrus. Then you seemed to stake your claim at the XCW worlds title. But you had said before you weren’t interested in the gold. Why the change of heart?

Chris: I wasn’t interested in the gold for a long time. It had no meaning to me. But after I faced Maddog I knew I must move on for the time being. The XCW worlds championship is what I choose to move on to. Cyrus just happens to be the one holding it.

Jimmy: How do you feel about the UWWF and XCW merger?

Chris: I don’t,

Jimmy: Well what’s your input on it?

Chris: It’s nothing but a ploy. A creation by Maddog and Clarkson to gain control of even more. It’s like a deadly snake with two head’s. The problem with this is that neither man can figure out what to do next. Sooner or later one head will bite the other and kill them both.

Jimmy: Well the Ultimate Hardcore Cup 2 is set to continue. You are squared off in a ultra hardgore steel cage match. With none other than Titan, and Cyrus. What sort of game plan are you using going into this match?

Chris: The same game plan I have always used. Hit anything that moves. I have yet to back down from a fight, there’s not a man walking the face of this earth I haven’t or wont stare in the eye and beat down. Cyrus and Titan are in way over there head’s. This tournament isn’t about the status of being the king of hardcore. It’s about being a legend, it’s about taking back the power from Clarkson and Maddog. It’s about dignity. They don’t have the ball’s to step into the ring with Jeremy Clarkson and look him in the eye. They are weak, only there outer layer show’s hardcore. It has to come from within. I will use the game plan of my brain against there’s. I will walk away with the victory. I will beat them. You can count on it.

Jimmy: One of the other matches in this tournament is Derrick Demon Hunter Hall against Danny Polar. What predictions do you have for this match?

Chris: Well I went toe to toe with Derrick Hall, They called it a draw. But that’s bull, I had him beat and was about to finish him off when Maddog declared us both unable to continue. But putting all that bull crap aside, I still don’t think Derrick Hall will be advancing. Danny Polar has proved to be tough and has made it this far. It’s not a fluke. He will beat Derrick Hall and be one of three men left.

Jimmy: The other match that is set for the following week is Nightmare taking on the current King of Hardcore, the owner of XCW and the last UWWF champion Jeremy “Repent” Clarkson. What are your predictions for this match.

Chris: Well I have faced both men,….. I have beaten both men. But the difference in Nightmare and Jeremy Clarkson is simple. Clarkson lives and breathes this. He isn’t here for the money, he is in it for the fame. Sure the money is nice, but Clarkson eats, sleep’s, dream’s and die’s for this. Jeremy Clarkson will run over and through Nightmare.

Jimmy: Well if your predictions are correct that will leave Danny Polar, Jeremy Clarkson, and lets assume you for the sake of argument, left. How do you see the final round going.

Chris: Well this is Maddog’s tournament. And if I know him he will do anything and everything to keep me away from that final round. So he will have me take on Danny Polar in a round four match.

Jimmy: You think Maddog will go that far?

Chris: Absolutely,

Jimmy: Why is that?

Chris: Maddog will do whatever it take’s to help his boy Jeremy Clarkson keep his crown.

Jimmy: Well if you are right Chris how do you predict that your fourth round match will go?

Chris: (Chuckles to himself) Danny Polar is good, don’t get me wrong….. But this isn’t your basic match. Or tournament. He has done good so far. I’m impressed with him. But you have to realize that I’m not some Mr.E, or Titan. I am Chris Van X! I am simply the best. Danny Polar will just be in my way to collecting my crown.

Jimmy: Well then if you are correct, That leaves you, and the current King of Hardcore. The hall of famer, the last UWWF champion of the wor…..

Chris: Yea, yea, yea. Chris Van X and Jeremy Clarkson, The Purveyors versus the Van X BoyZ, yadda, yadda, yadda. Listen it’s as simple as this. It’s not IF it’s WHEN I get to the final’s against Jeremy Clarkson. I will show the entire world how a true king of hardcore should be. I will not only beat him. I will destroy him in the ring and spit in his face. Call everyone you know and tell them to bet on me, because mark my word’s. I will become the NEW King of Hardcore There’s not a thing Cyrus, Titan, Danny Polar, Jeremy Clarkson or even Maddog can do to stop it. It’s going to happen.

Jimmy: Now speaking of Maddog let me just ask you this, Why did you attack Maddog during his match with Cyrus this past Meltdown?

Chris: Heh, back to Maddog. It’s weird but everywhere I turn people ask me about him. I’ll tell you why I attacked him. It’s because I want him to get the picture. I want him to understand. I’m not some lil’ punk who talk’s big. I back up exactly what I say. I am here to be the best. I know what Maddog has done for this sport, Hell if it wasn’t for him this sport probably wouldn’t exists. Yea he beat me. But I’m still standing. I’m still here, and until he either puts me out for good or I put him out. We will always be going at it. Maddog is upset about me attacking him? Good! He is mad because Cyrus got the win? Good! Cyrus is a chump any way’s. Maddog was right. We will meet again. We will stand face to face and go at it again. He says he will bring back the Maddog from BWCW? I say bring him. He says respect is out the window? Fine by me, lets go son. You thought the cathedral was tough? It’s your church Maddog, you preach the sermons right? I say get ready to hear your own. You didn’t like me bashing that skull over your head? I say next time I’ll bash your skull over something. You will never be the same Maddog. I will ruin your life. You better stay out of my tournament match this week. Because if not I will snap your ever loving neck in half.

Jimmy: I see the blood between you two is getting worse by the minute. But let’s go back to your match this week. Now you and Cyrus have meet before. First Blood match if I remember correctly, you managed to win. How will you use the prior match to help you in this one?

Chris: Cyrus is weak,… he’s nothing. When he enters the cage he will feel pain like he has never felt before. I beat him in a first blood match, I will beat him in this hardgore cage match, and sooner or later I will beat him for the XCW heavyweight championship. It’s all a matter of time.

Jimmy: Now in Cyrus’ latest rant, he claim’s that in a matter of thirty day’s he will have won the tournament, beaten you, beaten Jeremy Clarkson, and he has already beaten Maddog, thus staking his claim as the Hardgore Icon. Your comments?

Chris: Well first thing is Cyrus won’t make it past me in this tournament. So there goes his claim to all that. But he wants to talk about being a hardgore icon? Well your about five year’s late on that. Hardgore was around before you ever got pubic hair. When Chris and Sean Van X took the then greatest tag team in wrestling and took them above and beyond the limit that’s when it became hardgore. When Sean Van X put both members of Final Judgement through two flaming tables, that’s what hardgore was! When I stood toe to toe with one of the baddest men to ever set foot inside a ring, and I went blow for blow with Pike Daniels then he took a dive off the fifty foot high tron that’s what hardgore is. So before you try and claim to be some icon you need to know that hardgore isn’t something you and win…… It’s something you are!

Jimmy: One more quick question. Titan didn’t take to kindly to you calling his teammates and I quote: “you have aligned yourself with two other men in hope’s of controlling the power that is XCW. The problem with that is your only as strong as your weakest link, With two chump’s like Bonez and Shocker around you are not going to make it very long hard road to the top of the power chain.” He said that any of them can run over you anytime….. Your thought’s?

Chris: Well Titan need’s to think again, His leader Bonez has faced me three different time’s, and all three time’s he has faced me he has felt defeat. Once I tossed him off a scaffold, once I beat him with a barb-wire chain, and once I took a weed whacker to his chest and ripped him up. So Bonez doesn’t hold a candle to me. Then you got poor ole’ Paul “I want to be in the hall of fame” Parker, Now I’ve never faced him but let’s be honest. How long would it take before I slapped him around and left him like a hooker on the curb. Titan’s buddies aren’t even close to my league.

Jimmy: Well Chris I really appreciate the interview,

Chris: Yea whatever,

~{Jimmy Master stand’s up and reaches over to shake hand’s with Chris. Chris has his cigarette in his hand and look’s at Jimmy like he is a idiot. Chris then pop’s the smoke back in his mouth and then shake’s hand’s with Jimmy. Chris then stand’s up and walk’s over behind his Jeep. Jimmy gets in his car and drive off. Chris then look’s back at Viking Hall.}~

Chris: Viking Hall…… [Deep breath] I’ve spilt a lot of blood here. It’s only fitting that the tournament finishes here…… As much as I hate Maddog, I’d give anything to keep this place going forever….. Cyrus,…… Titan this match will be like no other. After I beat both of you I’m sure you will have some sad excuse as to why you lost. But listen and listen good. It’s destiny. The throne of the king of hardcore belongs to me and only me. No other man shall wear that crown! I will hurt you both, I will make you bleed, I will make you regret ever setting foot in the ring. Your life’s won’t be the same, Your careers will be changed. If your not careful,….. Your face’s might changed to. This hardgore steel cage match will not be for the weak.,……Mommies and Daddies send your children to bed early, Men hide your wives or girlfriend’s face, network television get ready to censor the show. Because I will cause pain and reek havoc like you have never seen before. This will be a night of suffering, To the hospital in downtown Philadelphia, get your emergency crew ready. You need two ambulances close by because I am sending two men over who you might need to just toss in a body bag……. Cyrus,….. Titan get ready, because when the bell sound’s and that door is locked. I will begin and wont stop until my arm is raised…… A few more day’s boys……. A few more day’s.

~{Chris flick’s the butt of his cigarette down in the parking lot. He then jump’s inside his Jeep and crank’s it up. The camera fade’s as he pull’s off.}~
