** BREAKING NEWS **
John Cena assaulted backstage by Sami Callihan:
NEW XPW Boston Champion crowned!
In a shocking display that occurred after XPW TV cameras stopped rolling, none other than the “Anti-Christ of Fantasy Wrestling” SAMI CALLIHAN (and his demented, Igor-like henchmen Thumbtack Jack) brutally attacked JOHN CENA after his successful XPW Boston Championship defense! We see shaky, grainy footage of Cena standing at the top of the entrance ramp, about to exit through the curtains – holding his title belt aloft for the fans one more time when from the rear, and through the inky shadows of backstage darkness, Callihan & Jack STRIKE! Various weapons and surrounding backstage accessories (like giant speakers and glass stage lights) all come crashing into Cena… In a graphic, vile display – Jack holds a barely conscious Cena down while Sami gigs him with his switchblade knife! They finish by BASHING Cena in the head with Sami’s Money-in-the Bank briefcase (leaving a large, bloody dent)… having Sami cover Cena in pinning position… Thumbtack Jack vicious corralling a referee to reluctantly make the count… and WINNING THE XPW BOSTON CHAMPIONSHIP! Oh my! Sami Callihan takes the Boston Championship! The first thing he does is SPIT ON IT! And degrade it like a bitch! Sami continues to treat the title belt like Ike did Tina while paramedics and officials rush to Cena’s aid… SAMI IS THE NEW BOSTON CHAMPION (!?!?)

ALEXXIS NEVAEH versus NATALYA NEIDHART
versus
Alexxis Nevaeh – representing Olympia fighting team colors – has asked for this challenge tonight… after being blindsided and steamrolled by Natalya on XPW TV Episode #40 and having her #1 contendership shot taken, Alexxis is thirsting for revenge… but on the flip side of the coin – after LOSING her championship match in a last-second lapse in judgment (see “Night of Champions II”) – Natalya Neidhart is driven by anger and fueled by hate… and that rage manifests itself tonight in a brutal shellacking of Alexxis Nevaeh… the young, perky underdog gets her shots off – but Natalya is allowed to no-sell most of it, and just beast through her… spinning lariat + sharpshooter = instant tap out… Natalya crushes Alexxis, and with a grimace and a rant demands ONE MORE MATCH from Wendi Richter!
Winner (by submission): NATALYA NEIDHART

Mildred Burke speaks – Depression era tough talk, true grit and a lot of dynamite in a tiny package – she finally answers her contractual ultimatum (to take a year off managing, or compete against only men) – Mildred Burke will COMPETE! Starting on the next Episode of XPW TV when she takes on Shane Douglas for his unsanctioned XPW Championship! And after she wins that, she’s moving onto “Scene of the Crime” – where, Mildred Burke announces, she will be joining forces with the MIZ’s team at War Games!! This announcement actually draws forth Lizzy Borden & Chyna from the dark recesses of the arena to confront Burke on set (with MSD cowering in the background)… Chyna & Borden are PISSED because THEY wanted the distinction of being the first woman to compete in a War Games match, but Burke stole their thunder… they start to ominously surround her, but Burke stands her ground… and suddenly MIZ saunters into the scene behind her! Miz has Mildred Burke’s back! With sarcastic wit and vicious humor, Miz verbally slays Lizzy & Chyna before sending them on their way – and finishing his AWWWEESSSOOOMEEEE promo alongside one of his partners at War Games, Mildred Burke!

RUCKUS vs. SABIAN vs. MICHAEL TARVER
(“Blood in the Sand” Gladiator Duel)
vs. vs.
The continuing saga of Commissioner Damien Steele’s obscene power trip and his torment of the BLKOut posse… inspired by the TV series Spartacus on Starz, Damien Steele has ordered a triple threat steel cage with weapons match, in honor of the deadly gladiator duels of yore… this is Michael Tarver’s return from injury (see XPW Online #15) and the announcers say he was forced into returning sooner than medically expected… Sabian recently lost to Steele in a KotDM title defense on XPW TV Episode #40… since Nick Gage was driven from XPW Remixed, KotDM title defenses under Steele’s watch have turned into late ‘90s WWF “Hardcore matches”… that is to say still pretty wicked, with gimmicks and weaponry… but none of the REALLY crazy stuff like electrified light tubes, fish hooks and cinder blocks…
all three opponents have been given explicit directions to NOT go easy on each other or risk total contract termination… to make sure BLKOut destroy each other, Damien Steele has surrounded the cage with lumberjacks like Lord Humongous, Atsushi Onita, Shad Gaspard (w/ Sunny), Tony Altomare and some random miscellaneous jobbers… Sabian, Ruckus & Tarver engage in a thrilling duel with opposing crowd chants erupting for each man… yet by Ruckus hesitating to kill his partners with a crowbar (and Michael Tarver’s apparent total WILLINGNESS to do so before he was disarmed) actually lures Damien Steele to the top of the cage walls – where he attempts to get the crowbar into Tarver’s hands… but of course it’s just a ploy designed to feed on Steele’s ego and draw him closer to the fire… as Michael Tarver scales the cage wall to reach the weapon, he (predictably to all but Steele) stops short – smirks – grabs Steele’s hand (now the horror finally sinks in for Steele) – and drags him INTO the cage!
Now Steele is trapped inside the cage with all the lumberjacks banging, pulling on and trying to scale the cage walls to no avail (Sabian is inside whacking everybody’s hands and fingers with a Kendo stick)… Damien Steele gets hurled into the cage walls and bloodied a bunch of times, before FINALLY Lord Humongous rips the steel cage door bolts right off the hinges… Steele is pulled to safety, but not before BLKOut cause a near-riot and destroy everybody (and everything) in their path… Steele makes the following decree: on the next XPW TV Episode it will be Lord Humongous versus BLKOut in a gauntlet match… every man Lord Humongous defeats must RENOUNCE Blkout!
But Ruckus answers Steele on the mic (and with the threat of a full-on riot brewing behind him) and gets the added provision that if anyone of the BLKOut members beat Lord Humongous – they immediately receive a title shot! Segment ends with ANOTHER huge bench-clearing brawl, that finds DANNY HAVOC blindsiding Steele from behind (before he could flee completely) and driving him through a table with a swanton dive off the entrance ramp! “XPW! XPW!” Lord Humongous versus BLKOut in a gauntlet match! Next XPW TV Episode!
Winner: BLKOUT (self-proclaimed)

**WARNING! GRAPHIC CONTENT! VIEWER DISCRETION IZ ADVISED! **
The following footage has been culled, fancam/amateur bootleg style over the past few weeks – but never released… it’s a play on the whole “Blair Witch Project”, Reality TV vibe… these skits were supposed to start airing on XPW Online #15 and XPW Online #16 but were considered too graphic to disclose… these sketches catch the obese, horrifying monstrosity known as POGO THE CLOWN on the hunt in dark, Camp Crystal lake settings… stalking underage groups of campers… straight slasher horror movie shit… it’s clear to see why (even a company as disturbed as XPW Remixed) refused to sanction the release of these vignettes… until now. Because of a late-breaking development that is too news-worthy to ignore…
In the last video assault, Pogo is dangerously close to catching and cornering a batch of the campers – when they burst through the wooden doors of a barnyard farm… and apparently the farm’s owner don’t take kindly to intruders of any kind… especially murderous pedophiles… a HUGE farmer (overalls, John Deere cap with ear flaps, shotgun in tow) bursts onto the scene with the kind of massive size to MATCH if not EXCEED Pogo the Clown himself! Two gigantic WALLS of humanity clashing throughout the barn in a wild free-for-all brawl! Everything is getting destroyed! Why, that’s no ordinary farmer! That’s…
HAYSTACKS CALHOUN!!
The massive farm boy overwhelms Pogo with the surprise attack, and is driven even further into a rage when he sees the children fleeing for cover… he bashes, bruises and busts Pogo through every wall, hale bay and stall in the area with great vengeance – until Pogo the Clown is tossed through the back wall of the farm where his huge body splashes into the deep, dark swamp waters… sinking from view… the children (in horrified tears) run to Haystacks Calhoun for shelter and comfort… he welcomes them into his huge arms, with the broken shovel handle (broken over Pogo’s head earlier) in one hand… Haystacks Calhoun has been awoken from his fantasy wrestling slumber by the NIGHTMARE that is Pogo the Clown!

"Revelation 21:8"
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
** Revelation 21:8 **
When "Sick" Nick Mondo sought to redeem his soul and remove himself from the quagmire of Death Match wrestling (and possibly extend his career), the Messiah was his idol... little did he know the Messiah began to see these same concessions as signs of weakness... a sign of cowardice... and ultimately, a great blasphemy to a cause & lifestyle Messiah has dedicated his life too... XTREMISM... now the Messiah explains his convoluted, spiritual motivations for perpetuating the attack that caused "Sick" Nick Mondo a shot at the XPW championship... was it bitter jealousy? Insane dedication? Or something else entirely...?
"After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel. Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, “Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.” But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus says the Lord, You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” So Elijah went. The messengers returned to the king, and he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
** 2 Kings 1:1-18 **
The Messiah challenges "Sick" Nick Mondo to a match at "Scene of the Crime"! But not just any match... this will be a resurrection... the RETURN of the DARK SAVIOR...! Is Messiah referring to himself in 3rd person? Returning Nick Mondo to his hardcore roots? Or someone (or something) else entirely??? Will "Sick" Nick Mondo accept the challenge??

JINDER MAHAL
Coming from a wealthy and powerful family in India, Jinder Mahal has enjoyed many of life’s luxuries, including the finest training available. Now he’s poised and ready to make an impact in fantasy wrestling.
Birthed into Indian royalty, Jinder Mahal is accustomed to having only the finest things in life, including the finest training available. This also extends to his well-tailored suits to the ornate, lavishly decorated sherwani he wears to the ring. But beneath the posh robes and suits lies a man who is actually a ruthless and physical competitor in the ring.
Mahal revealed himself to be a master manipulator in his first days in XPW Remixed, convincing The Great Khali to turn on his own brother, Ranjin Singh, and join the vocal villain to form a new power duo destined to dominate. He also seduced Raisha Saeed and awoke the GREAT GAMA Backed by the 7-foot former World Heavyweight Champion and undefeated Punjabi warrior, Mahal made good use of his fierce full nelson slam to rack up an impressive winning streak for a debuting Superstar (including his defeat of William Muldoon for the XPW Boston Championship).
Following a fallout with the towering Punjabi powerhouse and after defeating Great Gama (once and for all ending his hallowed undefeated streak), Mahal set out on his own, driven to distinguish himself from the other young Superstars on the XPW Remixed roster. He won a Triple Threat #1 Contenders match on XPW TV Episode #41 and will now challenge XPW Champion LOU THESZ to a match at “Scene of the Crime”! As long as he continues his winning ways, that won’t be too difficult for the Superstar … after all, nothing else has been.
** CUT TO RING **
** Main Event **
SABU versus HUMAN TORNADO
versus
Fun Fact : Sabu has said on multiple occasions that this was the match that finally snapped him out of the funk he had been in since late in his WCW tenure. Due to all the brow beating from various sources, Sabu 's self worth was in the dumps and he no longer viewed himself as a legend of the ring. Despite putting out solid work in his XPW Remixed tenure thus far, it took this match and subsequent celebration to make him realize his place in wrestling history.
Scott: A match made for the ages, at least on paper. Two of arguably the greatest underground superstars in the history of the business finally got together into the ring. You would think this would be saved for a bigger venue, like a Wrestlemania or a Baptized in Blood, but you really can't hold off any kind of matches because you need to fill the card and have to try no to put any crap on. So here we are, and for the first 2/3 of the match it was super. The psychology between them is perfect, and they went back and forth with some great chain wrestling. Sabu is clearly out of his funk from when he came back and can still deliver a good match. Rumors were they were going to make this match go thirty minutes, which may have been ok, but the Cena/Sami Callihan thing happened and they seemed to really want to hammer that home on this night so they cut this match essentially in half. The other reason for this match was to push the young stud Heath Slater, who has been getting back into the swing of things after his debut on XPW Online #15. He comes in, lays out Human Tornado with a guitar shot and Sabu gets the win. Slater has the charisma and the pedigree to be a superstar. For now, he's going along for the ride. The winner of the match is irrelevant but it was a great match as expected and starts the feud between Slater & Honk Tonk Man and Human Tornado. Grade: 3.5
Justin: Human Tornado gets to step in the ring against his idol in a one on one matchup. This was definitely a PPV dream match and it also signaled the full time return to action of Sabu. It was shortly after this match that Sabu decided he would hit the road on a regular basis as well as compete on TV on a consistent schedule as well. Human Tornado gets a good pop from the fans, but Sabu did as well. It was painfully clear how badly the fans wanted Sabu to be a face that they could rally behind. Sabu, however, was feeling rejuvenated and wanted to be a heel. After his fantastic performance he started to carry himself like the legend he was. They would keep it on the mat early until Sabu went to school and started working the high-risk offense. Tornado would survive a lengthy Camel Clutch but Sabu would maintain control and do a great job of it. The table bump was cool, but as I have spoken about before, it really wasn't needed. These two could work the crowd perfectly without contrived gimmick spots and it was just overkill. It did get a good pop, though, so I guess it did its job. Slater would come in and paste Human Tornado with a guitar to give Sabu the win in a fun match. I liked the finish here because neither Sabu nor Human Tornado needed a clean win, so this gives some much needed heat to Slater. It also sets up a potential feud for the “One Man Southern Rock Band”. This match harkened the full time commitment of Sabu, the return of Honky Tonk Man’s ego and confidence and provided a canvas for Human Tornado to begin his climb to the upper echelon of stars. Grade: 3
Winner: SABU
Postmatch, Human Tornado is double-teamed by Heath Slater & Honky Tonk Man… until MIZ runs in for the save with a steel chair! He swings it wildly about, clearing the ring to huge cheers! Slater & HTM slink off while pointing fingers and yelling at the ring… and Miz embraces Human Tornado – welcoming him onto his War Games team at “Scene of the Crime”, and helping Human Tornado to get down and boogie for the fans to close the show! “Scene of the Crime” coming soon!!

Following a fallout with the towering Punjabi powerhouse and after defeating Great Gama (once and for all ending his hallowed undefeated streak), Mahal set out on his own, driven to distinguish himself from the other young Superstars on the XPW Remixed roster. He won a Triple Threat #1 Contenders match on XPW TV Episode #41 and will now challenge XPW Champion LOU THESZ to a match at “Scene of the Crime”! As long as he continues his winning ways, that won’t be too difficult for the Superstar … after all, nothing else has been.

SABU versus HUMAN TORNADO
versus
Fun Fact : Sabu has said on multiple occasions that this was the match that finally snapped him out of the funk he had been in since late in his WCW tenure. Due to all the brow beating from various sources, Sabu 's self worth was in the dumps and he no longer viewed himself as a legend of the ring. Despite putting out solid work in his XPW Remixed tenure thus far, it took this match and subsequent celebration to make him realize his place in wrestling history.
Scott: A match made for the ages, at least on paper. Two of arguably the greatest underground superstars in the history of the business finally got together into the ring. You would think this would be saved for a bigger venue, like a Wrestlemania or a Baptized in Blood, but you really can't hold off any kind of matches because you need to fill the card and have to try no to put any crap on. So here we are, and for the first 2/3 of the match it was super. The psychology between them is perfect, and they went back and forth with some great chain wrestling. Sabu is clearly out of his funk from when he came back and can still deliver a good match. Rumors were they were going to make this match go thirty minutes, which may have been ok, but the Cena/Sami Callihan thing happened and they seemed to really want to hammer that home on this night so they cut this match essentially in half. The other reason for this match was to push the young stud Heath Slater, who has been getting back into the swing of things after his debut on XPW Online #15. He comes in, lays out Human Tornado with a guitar shot and Sabu gets the win. Slater has the charisma and the pedigree to be a superstar. For now, he's going along for the ride. The winner of the match is irrelevant but it was a great match as expected and starts the feud between Slater & Honk Tonk Man and Human Tornado. Grade: 3.5
Justin: Human Tornado gets to step in the ring against his idol in a one on one matchup. This was definitely a PPV dream match and it also signaled the full time return to action of Sabu. It was shortly after this match that Sabu decided he would hit the road on a regular basis as well as compete on TV on a consistent schedule as well. Human Tornado gets a good pop from the fans, but Sabu did as well. It was painfully clear how badly the fans wanted Sabu to be a face that they could rally behind. Sabu, however, was feeling rejuvenated and wanted to be a heel. After his fantastic performance he started to carry himself like the legend he was. They would keep it on the mat early until Sabu went to school and started working the high-risk offense. Tornado would survive a lengthy Camel Clutch but Sabu would maintain control and do a great job of it. The table bump was cool, but as I have spoken about before, it really wasn't needed. These two could work the crowd perfectly without contrived gimmick spots and it was just overkill. It did get a good pop, though, so I guess it did its job. Slater would come in and paste Human Tornado with a guitar to give Sabu the win in a fun match. I liked the finish here because neither Sabu nor Human Tornado needed a clean win, so this gives some much needed heat to Slater. It also sets up a potential feud for the “One Man Southern Rock Band”. This match harkened the full time commitment of Sabu, the return of Honky Tonk Man’s ego and confidence and provided a canvas for Human Tornado to begin his climb to the upper echelon of stars. Grade: 3
Winner: SABU
Postmatch, Human Tornado is double-teamed by Heath Slater & Honky Tonk Man… until MIZ runs in for the save with a steel chair! He swings it wildly about, clearing the ring to huge cheers! Slater & HTM slink off while pointing fingers and yelling at the ring… and Miz embraces Human Tornado – welcoming him onto his War Games team at “Scene of the Crime”, and helping Human Tornado to get down and boogie for the fans to close the show! “Scene of the Crime” coming soon!!

"Corporate Resolution"
XPW Remixed President Ed "Strangler" Lewis with a ruling on the XPW Boston title controversy... because of a litany of violations, Sami Callihan's victory does NOT stand... but because of the "loss" Cena has been STRIPPED of the championship as well...
Therefore the XPW Boston title has been held up - with a match between Sami Callihan & John Cena to determine the champion at "Scene of the Crime"! But first - there will be a match on the next Episode of XPW TV... Cena's pick versus Sami's pick... the winner of that match will determine the championship stipulation for the title match at "Scene of the Crime"!
** John Cena vs Sami Callihan for the XPW Boston title @ "Scene of the Crime"!! **
** but first - each man picks a fighter next week to determine the championship stipulation at the PPV! **
