"This day of July, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."
*JOHN ADAMS (in a letter written to his wife Abigail)

"IPW" = XPW Remixed
"UK" = West Coast1) CRYME TYME versus BLKOUT (w/ Annie Social)(Unsanctioned Street Fight)
versus
The show opens like the set of a rowdy rap concert. “Hustla” by Cassidey begins the procession. Emerging from the entrance ramp is the BLKOut posse – Sabian, Ruckus (puffing a Black-n-Mild) and the ridiculously-curvy white girl Annie Social. They all wear black T-shirts with BLKOut on the back and “FREE NICK GAGE” on the front. BLKOut are former 3x CZW tag champions, Chikara King of the Trios finalists, Junior, Cruiserweight and Light Heavyweight champions the world over. They’ve beaten the best in the world, even the so-called “Kings of Wrestling”. They’re here tonight in XPW Remixed to make a statement – BLKOut runs the streets of the East Coast. They are the realest gangstaz in the game by far (if you need any more evidence – consult the ending of Urban Wrestling Federation’s “First Blood” PPV when Ruckus’ crew sprayed a fleeing automobile with gunfire). BLKOut has already come into XPW Remixed +1. They cashed in on the bounty set by The Sicilians and broke enough bread to fund their OWN West Coast invasion. Still smarting over XPW Remixed’s attempt to stage an East Coast incursion (see “Night of Champions” from Pittsburgh PA) BLKOut have vowed to make the company (and those lame-duck poseur wannabes Cryme Tyme) pay dearly. That mission statement begins tonight at “Liberty or Death”.
Cryme Tyme enter the underground arena tonight with their own purpose. They earned their stripes in XPW Remixed by dismantling the original Gangstaz, New Jack & Mustapha Saed (see “New Years Revolution”). But since then they’ve been thwarted at every turn by the reigning XPW Remixed tag team champions The Sicilians. Cryme Tyme have seemingly choked in every big match occasion, although their complaints of unfair business practices ring very true. Here tonight, it’s do-or-die like Bedstuy. Avenge the gangland beatdown they suffered at the hands of BLKOut (see “Baptized in Blood”) or forever be branded “mark-ass chumps”. Cryme Tyme have done it on a much bigger national level than BLKOut, even though they’ve failed to win even a single world championship. Here tonight their reputation is on the line. But the only X-factor remains Shad Gaspard’s bum knee…
Superb, high-octane opener reminiscent of the glory days of gang streets. Ruckus, Sabian and JTG take to the sky while the powerhouse Shad Gaspard impresses with raw displays of strength. Outside the ring, the ridiculously-curvy Annie Social offers just enough titillation and helps encourage chants of "FREE NICK GAGE" even from the West Coast audience. There are continual instances of fan participation throughout the match, with everything from Ruckus sharing a blunt with an enthusiastic fan - to Sabian bobbling his own head in between a fat chicks ample bosoms. Cryme Tyme ride the wave of the match, and to their credit once it's realized the crowd has swung in the favor of BLKOut, embrace that and go full-on heel for the rest of the match. JTG in particular rests upon his bulletproof vest, 50 Cent impersonation and NY Yankees fitted (and long necklace chain) to generate the most heat. The once semi-partisan crowd is now universal in their dislike of Brooklyn's own Cryme Tyme. In the end, the giant Shad Gaspard has taken down BLKOut - and now Annie Social is in a very precarious position with the full-fledged heel Cryme Tyme (inching her closer to the throngs of riotous fans in the bleacher seating). Yet Annie Social ain't no punk bitch, and when backed into the corner she unleashes a torrent of slaps and blows to the astounded face of JTG (to HUGE crowd cheers!) But in the matches climatic moment, JTG actually suffers a straight-up chain jacking from somebody in the audience! When those hands reached in and literally ripped the NY Yankees chain off JTG's neck, the moment distraction allowed Annie Social to escape and BLKOut to strike. Sabian and Ruckus make the crowd-pleasing comeback, and after a series of creative chair spots - drive JTG back into the center of the ring. Another brief, high-energy chain of maneuvers and JTG is pinned beneath the BLKOut while Shad Gaspard clutches his knee in pain outside the ring! BLKOut win the match!!! Replays of JTG getting his chain ganked in the crowd (w/ XPW Security scrambling in response), and the finishing series of moves. BLKOut have pinned Cryme Tyme in their XPW Remixed debut!!! Cameras catch a white man with a bandanna covering his face flash the stolen NY Yankees pendant! He's wearing BLKOut gear and quickly disappears out of camera view, but not before flashing the middle finger. FREE NICK GAGE!!!!
Winners: BLKOut 
ANNIE SOCIAL - East Coast Ryde-or-Die B****!** CUT **
** Backstage correspondent MSD and camera crew run up on a limo pulling in the event parking lot. Exiting the vehicle, like Middle-Eastern billionaire business men, is The Grand Wizard (followed equally by turban and suit wearing Abdullah the Butcher and OG Sheik). The brash TGW is quick of tongue and addresses the PPV cameras. Successful partnerships require continuous trust, respect, and belief in common goals. When these principles no longer exist it is time to split the business!
Tonight - there is a very special mediation between legal parties. A mediation The Grand Wizard is certain will end the dispute and relocate the company headquarters to the East Coast! He takes a few moments to offer some barely-veiled threats towards his ex-partners Strangler Lewis and Toots Mondt - saying he knows where all the bodies are buried, and that he will release potentially career ending information on the two of them if they don't agree to the split.
Gold Dust Trio Incorporated was founded upon the principle of mixing shoot fighting/MMA/pro wrestling theatrics and branding the product as their own. Exactly how they created the wrestling industry we know today – they were going to Remix it for the future. Now, opposing business philosophies, company direction and irreconcilable differences have led to a violent clashing between partners. Strangler Lewis & Toots Mondt on one side, and chief financier The Grand Wizard on the other. Who will win in a court of law? Will XPW Remixed be forced to move East? We'll find out by the end of the evening!!! ** ** CUT to RINGSIDE **
____________________________________________________________
THE OLYMPIA (w/ William Muldoon) versus CULT REBOURNE
versus
The low, rumbling bass line sets in as the house lights dim. Dark, eerie lighting and fog machines creep into play. Through the clouds emerge the Denizens of dread – Thumbtack Jack & Danny Havoc. Both rocking Demonic face-paint and carrying weapons. They slide into the ring and perform their taunts and poses for the crowd, when suddenly – the BLAST of pyro and FLASH of confetti on the entrance ramp cast LIGHT upon the arena! Bursting through the black curtain like the cavalry, is the OLYMPIA!!! “The Solid Man” William leads the charge, and hits the ring right before Hakushi and Mascaras join him (by bounding over the ropes and off the top turnbuckle respectively)! Even with weaponry at their disposal, Cult ReBourne are quickly offset by the sudden charge attack. Hakushi’s springboard Hurricane-kick smashes Danny Havoc’s light tube bundle against his own head! The masked Mexican superhero Mil Mascaras propels Thumbtack Jack backwards right into a Reverse Death Valley Driver by William Muldoon! (same move he used to send him screaming through a burning pane of glass in Episode #18). That is last of the weaponry used in this match, as Thumbtack Jack and Danny Havoc are suddenly thrust into a fight for their own survival.
William Muldoon gets his licks in before finally settling in as a ringside coach. It’s almost like Olympia take great pleasure in stretching and humiliating the young Havoc and Jack, yet strictly within the legal confines of a tag match. Each partner holds the tag rope, both subconsciously adhere to the refs count, and double-team maneuvers last less than 5 seconds. William Muldoon’s boxing and wrestling training is on display, but each member of the Olympia gets a chance to exhibit their own international flavor. Heavyweight luchadore attacks from Mascaras, including a breathtaking springboard moonsault that takes both cultists out on the floor. The Japanese sensation Hakushi, light as a feather, flexes his lightning-fast ninja style on Havoc and Jacks faces and throats. “Protect ya neck” as Wu-Tang would say. This entire brutal, painful exercise seems designed to break the Cultists will and reveal the kidnapped Alexxis Nevaeh’s whereabouts. Crushing full-nelson slams, dragon suplexes and twister neck-cranks abound – but Cult ReBourne refuses to submit (even as they squeal like stuck pigs).
xxxxxxxxx
Finally, with Danny Havoc about to tap out at the hands of a convoluted Mil Mascaras-submission hold, DOINK REBOURNE appears live on the video wall! In another shaky, gritty video taped confession, Doink ReBourne taunts William Muldoon and his Olympia fight camp - before revealing Alexxis Nevaeh, bound tightly and at the mercy of the twisted Cult ReBourne leader! Mil Mascaras is forced to relinquish his match-ending hold, by the volatile Doink ReBourne (still on the video wall holding Alexxis Neveah hostage). Doink cuts another creepy promo but when he gets to the perverse punch line, Alexxis Neveah actually BITES his hand forcing him to briefly relinquish her! At ringside, William Muldoon can be spotted yelling "RUN!" and then darting backstage himself!!! On the video wall there is a violent skirmish, as Doink ReBourne tries to corral Alexxis Neveah again! The two begin scuffling and the camera is knocked out in the fracas! The video wall blinks out, leaving the viewers in suspense - William Muldoon has darted backstage to find them - and meanwhile the match resumes in the ring!
(Has the evil Doink ReBourne brainwashed Alexxis Neveah into a Patty Hearst-like state, much like he did with former victims TJ and Havoc???)Danny Havoc & Thumbtack Jack have taken advantage of the distraction to rush the members of Olympia from behind. Stiff shots, creative suplexes and high-risk dives from the cultists earn them a few close near-falls (including a crushing Burning Hammer variation from Danny Havoc to Hakushi that nearly folded the Japanese superstar in half). But the Olympia fight camp won't quit, and after Mil Mascaras kicks out of a frogsplash/elbow drop from Thumbtack Jack - the cultists get desperate. In a convoluted series of maneuvers, Thumbtack Jack winds up with a flaming torch... ready to blow a fireball in the face of a downed Hakushi!!! But before he can strike, none other than Alexxis Neveah makes the crowd-pleasing run in (through the audience)! The fire stunt explodes in Thumbtack Jacks face (literally) - Danny Havoc gets hurricanrana'd by young Alexxis Neveah herself - before Hakushi unleashes a titanic brainbuster upon him for the finish! The Olympia has done it again! In-ring, Alexxis tearfully reunites with her team to huge cheers, but they have only a few moments to celebrate before Doink ReBourne can be seen streaking towards the ring with his fatal spiked baseball bat! But out of nowhere William Muldoon cuts him off! He's tackled to the ground - grappled by the master technician - and the segment ends with Doink ReBourne locked in a debilitating LaBelle lock by Muldoon!!! With Doink ReBourne screaming and crying out in pain, Alexxis Neveah gets the chance to look him dead in the eye - curse his name - and slap the taste right out of his pathetic mouth!!! William Muldoon the proud coach and "Professor" holds the hands of Hakushi, Mil Mascaras and Alexxis Neveah aloft in victory!
Winners: THE OLYMPIA** CUT BACKSTAGE **
** Backstage correspondent MSD has caught up with XPW Remixed president Ed "Strangler" Lewis - politicking with some lawyer partners before the big mediation tonight. Dissolving a partnership can be very complicated. After all, can you split ideas or concepts? Is there an impartial gage that can measure the effort of individual parties in the partnership? Ed Lewis calmly responds that they have carefully come to the decision - after considering all of the advantages and disadvantages of the arrangement - that they would be willing to straight up BUY OUT The Grand Wizard!!! Mister Lewis surmises the situation is mostly about money, so they are prepared to offer TGW a very hefty cash settlement to buy his share in XPW Remixed!!! Will tonight be the last time we have to see TGW's annoying presence on XPW Remixed TV **

MADMAN PONDO versus SWITCHBLADE CONSPIRACY(Jessica Darlin goes to the winner)
Jessica Darlin
versus
MadMan Pondo enters first, rudely thrusting Jessica Darlin before him by her arm. She flinches in pain, but he angrily forces her to continue along. Tucked under his other arm is his trusty dented, bloodstained stop sign. A large hunting knife can been seen sheathed on his leg. In ring he angrily berates the timid Jessica Darlin, before actually handcuffing her to the post outside the ring! Pondo takes time to taunt some of the front row fans, getting them red-faced with anger, before making his way into the ring for a brief pre-match mic segment. Crowd won’t even let him speak, they’re booing and chanting so loudly over him. Madman Pondo is gonna show these two young bwoys tonight the true meaning of “SWITCHBLADE” (unsheathes the large hunting knife for dramatic affect)!!! Just then, “Seagulls Over Rhinosouras Bay Part II” by Foxy Shazam cuts off his tirade. Enter Jon Moxley and “The New Horror” Sammi Callihan…
SWITCHBLADE CONSPIRACY!!! Moxley addresses Pondo on the mic to start the match, promising to usher in a new era to the Territory Wars. The era of the “Switchblade Conspiracy”! They targeted Madman Pondo because he’s part of the old guard of Xtreme. Tonight, the Switchblade Conspiracy takes Madman Pondo’s legacy, manhood… and his bitch! The fight is on! Hardcore w/ weapons match, as Pondo gets the early advantage with constant clonks to the head with his Stop Sign, but before long the younger Switchblade Conspiracy take over and don’t give it up. Jessica Darlin struggles in vain against the handcuffs keeping her linked to the ring post as Callihan and Moxley just dismantle Madman Pondo. In a bittersweet moment of irony for the possessive and jealous Madman Pondo, he’s just within arm reach of a kendo stick he can use to make one desperate comeback attempt. He waves Jessica Darlin to retrieve it for him, but alas she is chained to the ringpost (by Pondo himself) and can’t reach it. Sammi Callihan steps on Pondo’s fingers with his boot to cut that off, and the Switchblade Conspiracy finish Madman Pondo with a devastating spike piledriver onto Pondo’s own stop sign. Post match, Callihan and Moxley briefly celebrate before unlocking their prize, Jessica Darlin. She looks moderately conflicted as the Switchblade Conspiracy usher her out of the ring and away from a downed Madman Pondo, still rolling around in pain on the mat. They pose and flex once more on the entrance ramp for good measure. The Switchblade Conspiracy are here in XPW Remixed – ending one hardcore legacy while simultaneously beginning their own…
Winners: JON MOXLEY & SAMMI CALLIHAN (Switchblade Conspiracy)

XPW REMIXED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
HEADHUNTERZ versus THE SICILIANS (c)
versus
Tribal drums, war paint and utter destruction. The vibrating bassline of “Don’t Make” by 8Ball & MJG rumbles through the arena like a thunderstorm. Enter the savage and relentless HEADHUNTERZ. Clad in torn-up “Cannibal Cartel” T-shirts the ferocious twin tandem make their entrance. HUGE boos, rowdy crowd reactions and vulgar chants are directed towards them, while still even smaller percentages of the crowd rock “Cannibal Cartel” apparel and throw up the “CCz” gang sign. Audience pan catches a trio of college age kids decked in suits, ties and fedoras like the Mafia! It’s obvious who they are fans of! Coming out next, the reigning undisputed XPW Remixed Tag Team champions of the WOOOOOOORLD… The Sicilians!!! Young Lou Albano and his partner Tony Altomare enter wearing white wifebeaters (w/ suspenders in Albano’s case), black murder gloves, fedoras and the XPW Remixed championship belts!
Match starts with the timeless Sicilians heel tradition of humorous stalling and delay tactics. Until even most of the crowd is now screaming for the Headhunterz to kill them. To which the ferocious duo gladly oblige. The Headhunterz bounce The Sicilians around the ring and toss them haphazardly into the surrounding steel guard rails and ring steps. Elevated catch/samoan drop crushes Tony Altomare. Sitoutpowerbomb onto Young Albano puts the XPW Tag Titles in jeopardy. Cue the inevitable La Coka Nostra run-in. Allies to the Sicilians, Lil Guido, Tony Mamaluke & Big Sal E. Graziano swing the tides of war with a well placed set of triple team maneuvers – leaving one Headhunter prone on his back in the center of the ring. The bloody Sicilians tag-team begin their comeback.
Altomare and Albano switch off with frequent tags, and keep one of the bloody Headhunterz isolated from his brother. The match complexion has changed, with the Sicilians now exerting themselves as the ruthless heels and generating babyface heat for a Headhunterz hot-tag. But before he can, La Coka Nostra are back to antagonize the fresh Headhunter. But this time – fellow “Cannibal Cartel” cohort “Sick” Nick Mondo makes an unannounced cameo to toss the Headhunter a spiked baseball bat! Driven into a blood frenzy, Headhunter A goes on a wild (flesh-ripping) tear with the spiked baseball bat, driving La Coka Nostra from ringside with finality. Just to make sure of this – “Sick” Nick Mondo earns his PPV money with a sick flying swanton dive off the “XPW” entrance letters through Lil Guido & Tony Mamaluke stacked up on a table!!! “HOLY S***!” and “XPW!!!” chants abound!
Back in the ring, it’s the dramatic reversal of fortune for The Sicilians – as suddenly left to their own devices – there isn’t much left. Reinvigorated like a coke rush, the Headhunterz catch a second win and run through The Sicilians Goldberg/Ahmed Johnson/Puerto Rican Big Van Vader-style. Crowd has been brought to a boiling point with this action, and cheers each successive Headhunter maneuver more loudly! Tandem top-rope superbomb/600lb twin moonsault combo finishes the match in dramatic fashion!!! Crowd counts along with the referees pin, and suddenly – we’ve got new champions!!! The Sicilians have been reduced to quivering, bloody messes – resembling more of a mob murder scene than a tag team competition! RUBBED OUT!!!
Winners (and NEW XPW Remixed Tag Team champions): THE HEADHUNTERZ 
** Headhunterz, "Sick" Nick Mondo, Ian Rotten, JC Bailey (and another faceless figure - some may recognize as a local TV jobber) all crowd the ring in rowdy celebration. They are soon joined by their satisfied leader "Vicious" Vic Grimes, who takes the opportunity to cut a promo on the mic. Dismisses The Sicilians as tag team imposters, alluding to some street shit that will keep the Sicilians off XPW TV for good. Big ups the Cannibal Cartel as the most dominant force in fantasy wrestling. If you want it, the Cannibal Cartel got it! And you can get it for the LOOOOWWW!!! **
Just then - "When the Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash cuts them off - and our next match segment begins!!! Enter the rousing crowd favorite
NECRO BUTCHER!!! He's got his bundle of light tubes as an equalizer, and quickly takes out Ian Rotten, JC Bailey and the 3rd faceless jobber in Black-Ninja-style with the light tubes!!! Necro Butcher briefly clears the ring and poses for the appreciative crowd! We've got our challenger!!!
____________________________________________________________
KING OF THE DEATH MATCH CHAMPIONSHIP
"VICIOUS" VIC GRIMES versus NECRO BUTCHER versus
Both men get props from the announcers for being down with XPW Remixed since Day 1 (both men actually competed with each other in abbreviated fashion during XPW TV Episode #2). Vic Grimes – the stalwart XPW loyalist who took it upon himself to bury, disgrace and erase the legacy of ECW - Necro Butcher is the homebrewed fan favorite, renowned across the globe for his daring Death Match accomplishments. They clash tonight at the height of Cannibal Cartel fever, and with “Vicious” Vic Grimes riding the highest peak of his professional career. This entire match is unrelenting, stiff and beautiful in its sheer brutality. There is little to no actual slicing and bloodletting – more of a thunderous, strong-style match between the two. The slams, suplexes and chair shots are unrestrained and full force. Absolutely cringe-worthy affair. In the end, Vic Grimes resurrects the old flaming table bit and hits a running Awesome bomb to the Necro Butcher that hurls him literally from the center of the ring through the burning table outside on the arena floor (wrapped in barbed wire of course). "HOLY S***!" and "XPW XPW XPW!" chants abound! Vic Grimes pounds his chest in a coke-fueled fury and holds the bloody KotDM belt aloft.
Winner (and STILL KotDM Champion): "VICIOUS" VIC GRIMES** CUT BACKSTAGE **
** Backstage correspondent MSD is with the third member of Gold Dust Trio Inc, Joseph "Toots" Mondt. How is ownership of the business divided? Most partnerships are established with the assumption that each of the two partners would be responsible for 50% of the business. Unfortunately, as Mister Mondt confirms, this is never the case. Unless one of the partners can make decisions without consulting the other and still remain in perfect harmony (not likely). Mister Mondt confirms their offer to buy out The Grand Wizard tonight during the course of the mediation. Mister Mondt responds to TGW's earlier threats to release damaging information with panache, deftly avoiding the question and simply saying he's sure XPW Remixed will be in capable hands by nights end. **____________________________________________________________
JACK SWAGGER versus SKANDOR AKBAR(Flag Match versus All American strip tease)
versus
Jack Swagger All-American American
Match segment is glorious in all its jingoistic beauty. Akbar and harem enter first, escorted by a barely-veiled Lizzy Borden. "Arab Money" by Busta Rhymes is the walk-out theme and Akbar's entire set plays to massive boos. By the time his music has fell silent, it takes a few moments for the lewd chants to drown out. Finally, a remixed intro of the Star Spangled Banner (Jimi Hendrix version) bursts into "Get On Your Knees" and suddenly the ovation is deafening. Jack Swagger - the All American American - enters to chants of "USA USA USA" as his fight camp (including cornerman Alex Riley) follow behind. First lock-up is stalled by more loud "USA" chants, but from there it's on. They throw, slam and suplex the shit out of each other with Jack Swagger winning most of the exchanges with his size and leverage. Lizzy Borden tries to get involved, Alex Riley rips off her burqa, Akbar tries to use his own curved boot as a foreign object, but Swagger catches him - and with Akbar's foot now bare as a result of his own attempted chicanery - Jack Swagger cinches in his ankle-lock for the emphatic tap out victory!!! Crowd explodes with cheers at Swagger's conquest!!! Post match the beatdown continues when Skandor Akbar tries to object the previously-agreed upon match conditions. Alex Riley gets his little licks in, takes out a few of Akbar's generic black-masked handlers, and Swagger deposits Skandor Akbar over the top rope before snapping the Afghanistan flagpole over his knee. Post match celebration is the longest segment of the match. The whole set was designed to allow Jack Swagger (and Alex Riley) representing the Diamond Dynasty, and celebrating Americana by "making it rain" (thousands of one dollar bills cascading down upon a gyrating Lizzy Borden) to Kanye West's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" song (with lyrics). Lizzy Borden of course is stellar in her role, and finishes with the Red White & Blue salute to great (and censored) American joy. "USA USA USA!!" This is "Liberty or Death"! This is XPW Remixed!!!
Winner (by submission): JACK SWAGGER
Lizzy Borden does her thing for all the American soldiers
