Cut to the in-studio announce team for the evening:
Gordon Solie & Matt Striker
XPW Remixed: the World is Yours... that is the message that reverberated through the fantasy wrestling eons on the night of “Give Me Liberty or Death”… on that night, the seeds of warfare were sprinkled with the blood of independence to herald the dawning of a new era in Mash-Up Wrestling… On this night stalwart champions were dethroned, rebel forces arose and destiny was seized… Now - with XPW Remixed cementing itself as THE Fantasy Wrestling proving ground - and greatest organization in Mash-Up Wrestling history - there is only one place to go… and that’s higher… higher than the Empire State building…
Solie & Striker review the events of "GMLoD", and Matt Striker dissects the last few moments of the XPW World championship fight like one would the JFK Assassination tape… (the "tap" of Lou Thesz was actually a readjustment of alignment on Lou's behalf - the referee jumped the gun)... they also hype up future events... we have two huge seminal events in company history coming up on the way to “Damage Inc 2”… first, next week will be the LAST EPISODE of XPW Online! That’s right, a star-studded, all-star, gala SERIES FINALE! Then, in an epic display of consistency and high-value - XPW Television will be producing it’s landmark FIFTIETH EPISODE! How many organization in Mash-Up Wrestling history can lay stake to that claim? Just about as many that claim “WORLD TITLE” status! Virtually none! And those that do will find themselves trembling in the wake of DAMAGE INC 2!!
All that, but FIRST tonight - you will see THREE championships defended! RVD defends his TV title against Sabian! Awesome Kong defends the XPW Woman's championship against #1 contender SABLE 1998!! And finally, XPW invaders WORLD'S GREATEST TAG TEAM (Haas & Benjamin) defend their newly-minted XPW Tag team titles against former champions the MCMG!! OMGEEZY can XPW Remixed get any BIGGER!!
** WE DON'T DO JOBBER SQUASHES OVER HERE, BOYEEEE!! **
** CUT TO RING **
_________________________________________________
"Championship Coronation"
Scarface-themed mini-movie reviewing Del Rio’s victory at “Give Me Liberty or Death”… now Del Rio finds the world truly is yours and his rise to XPW power mirrors that of the great Tony Montana… Aberto Del Rio’s “submission” victory over Lou Thesz puts him firmly in the drivers seat - and the show opens with his glamorous, championship entrance and coronation… XPW President Ed “Strangler Lewis & VP Joseph “Toots” Mondt both greet him graciously in the ring and everyone is all smiles and pictures… Del Rio gets a promo to transform “Destiny” into “Dynasty” when we’re finally (and thankfully interrupted) by former champion LOU THESZ!
Boardwalk Empire-chic for Thesz tonight as he gives Del Rio hell on the mic, before procuring a manila evidence envelope that he says is further reason to grant his immediate rematch clause (both Solie & Striker amongst others are from the school of thought that Thesz did NOT submit @ “GMLoD”)… what is in the envelope? Lewis, Mondt & Del Rio don’t even want to hear it, when suddenly - JOHN CENA’S theme song cues up!
At the spoken utterance of “money match” (RE: “Damage Inc 2” main event) and “championship franchise”, we bear witness to the physical conjuration of such things… the Franchise himself JOHN CENA! Just when things seemed to get a little hairy for Thesz, Cena shows up to even the odds… he plays on Del Rio’s ego, questions Rob Black & Mondt’s manipulations and makes fun of Ed Lewis’ pot belly (fat boy jokes & “failed restaurant” quips)… you see, Cena is out here because after Lou gets his rematch and wins back the XPW title… the REAL money match will be “THESZ versus CENA” @ “DI2” for the XPW World title!! HUGE POP from the crowd at the thought of the ULTIMATE dream match! Cena versus Thesz; something that’s NEVER been booked - although the seeds of their feud were planted all the way back on BCCW TV #1!!! (that’s when I first started fantasy booking, period!!) Cena and Thesz go nose-to-nose, their intensity reverberating through the TV screen! But they’re quickly interrupted and separated by Del Rio - himself the XPW World champion! And he is IRATE at being upstaged on his grandest day! Alberto Del Rio gets a brief chance to scold and chastise them on the mic, but when he gets to his “I’m a submission expert” part… we get our 3rd and final interruption of the segment… the Samoan Submission machine SAMOA JOE (!?!?)
Enter Samoa Joe and he is PISSED! He verbally accosts Cena for his “conspiracy” to rid himself of competition (Striker credits Paul Bowsers expertly crafted stipulations for Cena’s “GMLoD” match that could have potentially eliminated Shane Douglas & Samoa Joe forever had he won)… then Joe bodies right up to Thesz with his “Best of 7” series victory over Bruno Sammartino to carry the weight of his ominous threats… before turning to face Del Rio at the end (to a big pop and “JOE’S GONNA KILLLL YOUUUUU” chants)… XPW President Ed “Strangler” Lewis intercedes at the last moment to save the day… he says each of them make valid points, and after a brief conference they’ve come to a decision… we have TWO HUGE milestone events in company history on the road to “Damage Inc 2” (aka “DI2”)… XPW TV Episode #50... And XPW Online #23 (the SERIES FINALE)!! We need some big time, huge, marquee main event headline matches for those occasions… and XPW Remixed has just the solution… it’s time for John Cena & Samoa Joe to establish their place in the pecking order once and for all - so on the LAST EPISODE OF XPW ONLINE EVER (the Season Finale!) - Cena will face Samoa Joe in a #1 Contenders match! They will then get a chance to rest and train as their eventual “DI2” opponent will be revealed on the NEXT XPW TV EPISODE when Lou Thesz takes on Del Rio in his championship rematch! Angry 4-way stand off to end the segment, framed by the smiling (or is it “smirking?”) face of Mondt & Lewis!
JOHN CENA versus SAMOA JOE (#1 Contenders Match)
XPW Online Season Finale!!

** BACKSTAGE VIGNETTE **
Inside the Black Army inner sanctum (still torn asunder from Black’s outburst @ “GMLoD”)… Rob Black is venting to his camp (including lawyer scumbag Jack Pfefer, “Prince of Darkness” Kevin Sullivan, Japanese delegate Onita and star soldier Dean Ambrose)… Rob Black is irate over their loss @ “GMLoD” and demands they take action tonight to strengthen his cause - or find themselves cut for good… and with Rob Black you never know exactly what kind of “cut” you may get…
** CUT TO RING **
** XPW Remixed Woman’s Championship **
AWESOME KONG (2010) © versus SABLE (1998)
versus
Highlights of each woman’s victory at “GMLoD” - and how their respective fantasy arcs are about to collide… XPW Remixed continues to be the trend-setting force of the Territory Wars when it comes to producing the hottest women’s action… There are many imitators but none can claim the level of talent as XPW Remixed…. The bell rings and a loud “Sable” chant makes it’s way through the crowd… Awesome Kong is simply intimidating… the entire crux of her “ripping heads off Barbie dolls” statement manifests itself tonight in her battle with Sable - pro wrestling history’s version of Barbie… they start with a lock-up and Kong easily sends Sable into the corner… but Sable quickly fights back with lightening fast strikes and J-Lo “Enough”-styled kick boxing! She momentarily stuns Kong to big cheers, and hits some kind of Lady Gaga-inspired monster pose… she keeps up the attack on Kong, but the Awesome one catches her in mid-move and hits a big release fallaway slam… Kong with some hard strikes to Sable’s head… the XPW Remixed woman’s champion charges at Sable in the corner, but she dodges it by slipping out of the ring and pulling Kong out by the foot… Sable then slides back in the ring to try a baseball slide… but Kong sidesteps it and ends that rally by hurling Sable unobstructed into the guard rail! OUCH!
Now it’s all Awesome Kong and she makes mince meat of the smaller Sable (allowing her to ratchet up the sympathy beating)… Kong is vicious by seemingly targeting Sable’s face, and trying to claw it and smash it off the metal guard rails… Kong screams for Solie & Striker to get the f out of the way as the woman battle over by the announce table… Awesome Kong snatches Sable up in gorilla press-slam position and is about to HURL her body at Solie and Striker!… but stops at the last moment (with Solie & Striker both jumping and flinching)… instead, Kong just laughs at them, and tosses Sable back into the ring… on commentary, Solie & Striker did NOT like that little stunt… In the ring, Kong works on Sable in the corner with some rights and a choke… but when Kong sends Sable into the opposite corner - Sable jumps up and attempts a twisting dive… but misses when Kong simply sidesteps, and her brief rally is over already… Kong works on Sable‘s back with stiff forearms, kicks and a weardown hold… finally Sable fights back with some rights, dodges, darts, and winds up snagging a jumping bulldog on Kong into the center of the ring! 1!.. 2!.. Kickout! Oh my the closest near fall of the match; Sable almost did the impossible… Sable keeps her down and with much fanfare, announces her intention to execute a top rope maneuver… but as Sable reaches the top turnbuckle - Kong springs to her feet to strike with a spinning back fast! Sable gets crotched on the turnbuckle and Kong launches her into the stratosphere with another press slam… Sable hits hard… Kong measures her… waits for Sable to drag herself to her feet… before pouncing on her like a giant cat of prey and hitting a devastating Implant Buster for the finish… Sable certainly was defiant, and proved she’s not just another pretty face… but Awesome Kong is on another level… and so is the XPW Remixed woman’s division… fuck ROH.
Winner (and STILL XPW Woman’s champion): AWESOME KONG

"Summer of WAR"
Hot August Fight… summer sizzling heat on the street… XPW Remixed continues to ratchet up the intensity of Mash-Up Wrestling as it continues it’s Summer of War… cue theme song and entrance of the volatile loose cannon TAZ (2000)! Plucked at the height (ha ha, get it?) of his glory he is portrayed as the ultimate wrestling mercenary… his runs through ECW are legendary, his WWF debut was a rousing success (choking out an undefeated Olympian at Royal Rumble 2000) and now he’s here in XPW Remixed with a mission and a “FTW” championship belt… his own personal “Path of Rage” that blew through ECW and crowned WWF will now find a home in the realest fantasy wrestling org in the universe… Angry Taz promo that has to be edited in some parts… F[edited] Podcasts!.. F[edited] WWF! (cheer) F[edit] TNA! (cheer)... and F[edit] XPW Remixed! (boooo!!)... Taz beat Dean Ambrose @ “GMLoD”, thus defeating “XPW” and their foolish claims to ECW‘s legacy… now he wants to send that same message to fellow imposter copycats the CZWO! So Taz is calling OUT Reigning KotDM champion (newly crowned @ “GMLoD”)… ZANDIG!
TAZZ (2000) versus THE MESSIAH (2002)
versus
But instead of Zandig - he gets CZWO member (and bi-coastal turncoat) THE MESSIAH… Messiah started wrestling as an XPW original… he ended across the country in CZW.. And tonight he answers Taz directly from that rough-strewn hemisphere of Combat Zone Wrestling 2002... This isn’t just another XPW Remixed dream match… it’s a nightmare… in generous terms it can be qualified as a “competitive squash”… Messiah is surprisingly (to him) overwhelmed by the buzz saw Taz and cut down to size with a variety of crushing suplexes and shoot holds… Taz-mission locked on in the center of the ring - nobody comes to Messiah’s aid - and he taps out! Messiah taps out, but Taz keeps the hold on until he turns blue and passes out…
Winner (by submission): TAZ
Dean Ambrose aims to prove his worth.
Post match we get the ill layered, storyline breakdown of Taz being sneak attacked by Dean Ambrose - who reveals a last moment alliance with Jinder Mahal - who finally introduces his newest charge SABU (see “GMLoD”)… and we come full circle with Taz colliding with the present, future and then past of XPW Remixed in one segment… but Taz ain’t having it - and his brawl with Sabu only sparks a greater fire in him - by the time GREAT GAMA roars onto the scene like a primeval savage (tearing guard rails, guards and steel ring steps asunder on his way to seeking vengeance upon Mahal & Sabu)… Ambrose flees, Taz & Sabu brawl - Mahal gets the hell out of town with Gama fast on his tail… “XPW! XPW!” chants win the day.
** CUT **
** BACKSTAGE VIGNETTE **
An irate MESSIAH has stormed backstage (still selling his wounds) to confront stablemate Sami Callihan - he TOO who is mysteriously "selling the wounds" of a beatdown as well.. Messiah is outraged that coming from the camp that preaches "loyalty" nobody came to his back when Taz was choking him to death! But Sami Callihan claims he was set upon by a mysterious trenchcoat wearing GHOST that beat him down and rendered him unable to help! Messiah doesn't believe it and storms angrily from the room yelling "JOHN!! JOHN!! (looking for Zandig) while Callihan holds his head and mutters about "ghosts" and "Haunts"...

BAM BAM BIGELOW versus BULL RAMOS
(Falls Count Anywhere Match)
versus
This match actually starts out as a backstage segment, with manager “Wild” Red Berry is getting ready to make his big proclamation - touting his new singles superstar of the FUTURE! All this talk about “future singles superstar” obviously stirs the pot of both Bigelow & Ramos (each who assumes *they* are the one Berry is referring to)… and instead of squashing the display of aggressive testosterone between the two behemoths - the diabolical and wily Berry actually fans those flames until the aforementioned BRAWL break out! Bam Bam is 6’4” almost 300 pounds… Ramos is over 6 feet and 250 lbs… these are BIG dudes and that size is fully accentuated in the backstage setting - where they demolish the locker room area and set pieces like King Kong battling Godzilla… a lot of primeval grunting, but the dialogue exchange is unmistakable in a setting devoid of crowd noise… Bigelow’s violent temper and ego has been stoked and he is dead set on taking Ramos out once and for all… Bull Ramos the Indian war chief believes Bam Bam is at fault for their failings as a tag team… and Wild Red Berry is the maestro playing both sides like a fiddle… Bigelow actually drives Ramos THROUGH a locker room door and then a wooden bench with a power slam - before Wild Red Berry himself counts the 3-count (after exhorting Bigelow to unleash a concussive series of head butts that left both men weary and dazed)…
Winner (?): BAM BAM BIGELOW
Wild Red Berry of course waits until the very end before laughing at Bigelow’s ignorance, and proclaiming “I never said the singles superstar of the future was YOU! How silly of you to misconstrue me!!” Berry takes a quick swipe at TNA and their ignoramus of a talent coordinator Logan Boggs - before introducing his “singles superstar of the future”…
Introducing to XPW Remixed…
DAMIEN SANDOW!
Bigelow is all like “WHAAAAT!?!?!” Berry is all like “indeed!” Sandow winks, smiles, nods and condescendingly pats Bigelow’s beaten tattooed skull while saying “you’re welcome”… Sandow & Berry exit stage left leaving an exasperated, bloody and battered Bigelow behind in rage and confusion…

XPW Remixed presents...
"SLAUGHTAHOUSE STAMPEDE 2"
Rob Black’s army enters the ring and the ringleader himself is NOT pleased… he fights through the vulgar crowd chants to express this dismay - both with the “fans” who have deserted him - the CZWO who has scorned him - and his own Army that has failed him! Rob Black uses this opportunity to hype the once-a-year, XPW Remixed specialty the SLAUGHTAHOUSE STAMPEDE! A combination Bunkhouse Brawl/Royal Rumble/Xtreme Rulez match - and it’s the most physically taxing and dangerous match in Mash-Up Wrestling today…
He tries calling out the CZWO and leader Zandig for stealing the KotDM championship - but instead gets DANNY HAVOC.. The snarky, sarcastic Havoc speaks for all the internet and smark marks when he lambastes Rob Black for his bad taste and general douchiness… this segues to Danny Havoc bravely (“foolishly”) getting involved in a “one-on-one” scrap with Black Army associate Kevin Sullivan (eager to prove his worthiness) - but it quickly becomes a massacre when Onita, Kasai & Snuff jump in... but then in trademark XPW Remixed fashion - all hell breaks loose...
The Original SHEIK hops the guard rail and attacks Snuff! NEW JACK run-in (with rap soundtrack and trash can of weapons)!! Meanwhile - Sandman and bald Necro Butcher are spotted watching from a private box, shaking their heads and mocking the insanity... Segment finishes with the climatic run-in and ring clearing actions of MadMan Pondo and CZWO leader ZANDIG! After once again securing the ring - Zandig flaunts his KotDM championship - says the CZWO won @ "GMLoD" because they believe in loyalty - while the Black Army believes in nothing... and enters his CZWO camp into the Slaughtahouse Stampede as well - vowing to run Black & crew out of Fantasy Wrestling for GOOD!
CZWO leader & KotDM champion ZANDIG has the last word!

** BACKSTAGE INTERLUDE **
Backstage office skit with solidified (get it?) XPW Remixed Commissioner “The Solid Man” William Muldoon showing he takes his position very seriously… he unveils a ranking system for the XPW Television title - uses deft professional verbiage to disarm Harvard law graduate David Otunga and tell him his client Gorgeous George does NOT automatically get another title shot - and uses East Coast last coast Tuff tawk to counter a raging Atsushi Onita (who lost his chance to become XPW Remixed commissioner when his guy Hakushi Kuro lost @ “GMLoD”)… Onita is the last to storm into the Commissioners office and last to leave - but not before hurling more ominous threats and overturning furniture on his way out… you see, Muldoon has booked a big time match for XPW TV Episode #50... Hakushi Kuro versus Jun Kasai in an Xtreme Rulez match and Onita is NOT pleased his two wrestlers must battle… Onita also throws some salt in Muldoon’s wound RE: his pupil Tommaso Ciampa’s desertion…

Funny, quick little Spanglish banter between the two that leaves Steele flustered and jaw agape...

ROB VAN DAM (2006) © versus SABIAN (2012)
versus
The match starts with Sabian swaggering to the ring, with his new crew consisting of old ally Michael Tarver and the newly-reunited Cryme Tyme 2.0... Blistering promo from Sabian that is straight from the street corners of Killadelphia PA (and gets MASSIVE boos from the native West Coast audience)… Sabian gets the whole crowd riled up - sexually harasses a few female ringside fans - and encourages the wild wolf pack antics of his crew - when finally the “Whole FN Show” makes his entrance… “RVD 4:20” and other pot-related verbiage sprout up like weeds on nearby signs and posters… in action, Sabian gets a few elbows, but RVD fights back with his “educated feet” and floors Sabian with a spinning potato kick right to the kisser… RVD drives his knee into Sabian’s head a few times, hit’s a standing moonsault, and then grounds a resilient Sabian with a headlock takeover… Tarver & Cryme Tyme 2.0 continue to stir emotions at ringside… Sabian gets out of the headlock and brawls RVD back into the turnbuckles… he goes for the choke until the ref is forced to break it up… more taunts from Sabian, and he hits RVD with a pinpoint running dropkick to the face - giving him whiplash in the corner… Sabian covers, but only gets a two count.
Sabian sends RVD into the ropes and hit’s a hurricanrana that sends RVD right out of the ring… Sabian quickly distracts the referee, allowing Tarver & Cryme Tyme 2.0 to triple team RVD on the outside! Just then - the theme song for WILLIAM MULDOON interrupts! Enter the XPW Remixed commissioner! He quickly uses his authority to BAN Tarver & Cryme Tyme from ringside! Big time pop for that decree from the crowd, while the angry and belligerent thugs yell and cry “RACISM!!” By the time all of this unfolds, RVD has suitably recuperated - and takes over on offense… He whips Sabian hard into the ringside steps… hit’s a springboard kick… hit’s the spinning kick to the back of the neck off the apron… then scales the top turnbuckle - does the “RVD” thumb point and crowd chant - before cannonball OFF the top rope - OVER the crowd barricade - ONTO Sabian with a somersault plancha! “HOLY S***!” and “XPW! XPW!” chants! Not soon thereafter, after another thrilling in-ring exchange, RVD leaves Sabian flattened with a Five-Star frogsplash for the finish… exciting, aerial dog fight between two of the highest flyers in the game…
Winner (and STILL XPW TV champion): ROB VAN DAM
Post match we get a violent and ugly run-in by FOCUS! David Otunga & Gorgeous George Wagner (w/ GG's aid) sneak attack RVD and David Otunga's final "statement" on behalf of his client is SCREW Commissioner Muldoon's ranking system - this is going to keep happening to everybody ranked above the Gorgeous one until the time the "Human Orchid" gets his title rematch!! Take a look at your last and future XPW TV champion! Gorgeous George Wagner (1950)!!

SYCHO SID VICIOUS
w/ versus
Kevin Sullivan promo putting over his big man - he can’t get his hands on Muldoon but he does use the power of crowd persuasion to draw out Sid Vicious… Sullivan is intent on proving his worth to the Black Army and does so by orchestrating his classic wrestling hit… Snuff & Sid Vicious engage in a hellacious, spontaneous big man brawl that spills ringside and into the first row of fans… but it ends quickly when Sullivan slides a metal spike to Snuff for a weapon… but the most shocking, horrifying aspect of the assault happens post match - when Sid Vicious is essentially written out and “killed off” like Ken Patera and The Grand Wizard before him… in this case he’s savaged with the spike (necessitating a manly blade job from Sid) before being choke slammed off the entrance ramp through a side stage area (set ablaze by Kevin Sullivan)…

MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS (2010)
versus
Review of crazy ending to PPV tag team title match (with a focus primarily on the FabKangs & MCMG… curiously whitewashing that 3rd team completely)… until XPW “invaders” Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin (aka “World’s Greatest Tag Team”) showed up to steal the title belts… tonight they enter first (to huge boos) and get a chance to put themselves over on the mic and flaunt the belts… by the time Sabin & Shelley get their high-octane entrance, the crowd has been suitably lathered… In action, Charlie Haas and Alex Shelley lock up to start… Shelley with quick offense early on - sending Haas to the corner… but the larger Haas answers with a big hip toss and dropkick combo... Haas with a high back body drop on Sabin when he jumps in the ring, but Sabin lands on his feet! So Shelton Benjamin enters the fray but is met with a crisp double dropkick by the MCMG! The WGTT are fast - but MCMG are faster! Hass & Benjamin regroup on the outside - until Shelley fakes them out - makes them jump - right into an unseen Chris Sabin springboard senton! Back in the ring, Benjamin (now the legal man) gets in a deep arm drag on Shelley and starts working the arm… slowing the match down and grinding out the Guns with expert mat work… Benjamin with an atomic drop and T-bone suplex that floors Shelley, but still can’t get 3... Benjamin impresses with a modified leg drop over onto Shelley before Sabin starts jawing with the ref… Tag to Haas and WGTT double team Shelley - leapfrog on the top ring rope… on a 2nd attempt, Sabin pulls Haas down by his hair with the referee distracted… Sabin with an air tag behind the referee’s back (to a big pop) before angrily flying into offense against WGTT.. Sabin sends Haas into the corner with force and blisters his chest with chops… a huge springboard dropkick knocks Shelton Benjamin off the ring apron…
Haas fights back, and he and Benjamin take over with some illegal double teams… an eye rake and snap mare keep Sabin grounded and in the capable hands of Shelton Benjamin… tag back to Haas who switches off to hold Sabin in a front choke… but no quit in the former champions… the crowd rallies behind MCMG and Sabin begins fighting back… so Hass kicks Sabin in the face and reaches for a tag with Benjamin… but Sabin pulls him back in at the last moment and hits an enziguri to Charlie’s head! Both men down… Sabin scores a last second desperate jawbreaker, and hot tags Alex Shelley! He clears the ring with a series of right hands and a big dropkick… big side kick to Hass… tilt-a-whirl head scissors on Shelton Benjamin - then the MCMG combine for a sick flying bulldog combo - into synchronized top rope dives!! They BOTH go for the pin on their guys, but BOTH Haas & Benjamin kick out at the last second! The crowd intensity is palpable… . Sabin launches Benjamin to the ring apron but Shelton super kicks him in the face in an incredibly agile spot… Haas slingshots over Shelley and Benjamin hits a running clothesline taking out Sabin… Shelton Benjamin with a neckbreaker on Sabin for a real close two count in the ring… Shelton Benjamin hoists Chris Sabin onto his shoulders in electric chair fashion, as Haas prepares to launch himself off the top rope… but Sabin reverses at the last moment into a victory roll! Alex Shelley comes out of nowhere to hit a hurricanrana on Charlie Hass, and snap him off the top turnbuckle! Sabin has Benjamin’s shoulders down in the victory roll! 1!.. 2!.. 3!! NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! The look of SHOCK upon the WGTT! The look of ELATION upon MCMG! And the fans wild, rapid response to fuel it all…

Review of crazy ending to PPV tag team title match (with a focus primarily on the FabKangs & MCMG… curiously whitewashing that 3rd team completely)… until XPW “invaders” Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin (aka “World’s Greatest Tag Team”) showed up to steal the title belts… tonight they enter first (to huge boos) and get a chance to put themselves over on the mic and flaunt the belts… by the time Sabin & Shelley get their high-octane entrance, the crowd has been suitably lathered… In action, Charlie Haas and Alex Shelley lock up to start… Shelley with quick offense early on - sending Haas to the corner… but the larger Haas answers with a big hip toss and dropkick combo... Haas with a high back body drop on Sabin when he jumps in the ring, but Sabin lands on his feet! So Shelton Benjamin enters the fray but is met with a crisp double dropkick by the MCMG! The WGTT are fast - but MCMG are faster! Hass & Benjamin regroup on the outside - until Shelley fakes them out - makes them jump - right into an unseen Chris Sabin springboard senton! Back in the ring, Benjamin (now the legal man) gets in a deep arm drag on Shelley and starts working the arm… slowing the match down and grinding out the Guns with expert mat work… Benjamin with an atomic drop and T-bone suplex that floors Shelley, but still can’t get 3... Benjamin impresses with a modified leg drop over onto Shelley before Sabin starts jawing with the ref… Tag to Haas and WGTT double team Shelley - leapfrog on the top ring rope… on a 2nd attempt, Sabin pulls Haas down by his hair with the referee distracted… Sabin with an air tag behind the referee’s back (to a big pop) before angrily flying into offense against WGTT.. Sabin sends Haas into the corner with force and blisters his chest with chops… a huge springboard dropkick knocks Shelton Benjamin off the ring apron…
Haas fights back, and he and Benjamin take over with some illegal double teams… an eye rake and snap mare keep Sabin grounded and in the capable hands of Shelton Benjamin… tag back to Haas who switches off to hold Sabin in a front choke… but no quit in the former champions… the crowd rallies behind MCMG and Sabin begins fighting back… so Hass kicks Sabin in the face and reaches for a tag with Benjamin… but Sabin pulls him back in at the last moment and hits an enziguri to Charlie’s head! Both men down… Sabin scores a last second desperate jawbreaker, and hot tags Alex Shelley! He clears the ring with a series of right hands and a big dropkick… big side kick to Hass… tilt-a-whirl head scissors on Shelton Benjamin - then the MCMG combine for a sick flying bulldog combo - into synchronized top rope dives!! They BOTH go for the pin on their guys, but BOTH Haas & Benjamin kick out at the last second! The crowd intensity is palpable… . Sabin launches Benjamin to the ring apron but Shelton super kicks him in the face in an incredibly agile spot… Haas slingshots over Shelley and Benjamin hits a running clothesline taking out Sabin… Shelton Benjamin with a neckbreaker on Sabin for a real close two count in the ring… Shelton Benjamin hoists Chris Sabin onto his shoulders in electric chair fashion, as Haas prepares to launch himself off the top rope… but Sabin reverses at the last moment into a victory roll! Alex Shelley comes out of nowhere to hit a hurricanrana on Charlie Hass, and snap him off the top turnbuckle! Sabin has Benjamin’s shoulders down in the victory roll! 1!.. 2!.. 3!! NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! The look of SHOCK upon the WGTT! The look of ELATION upon MCMG! And the fans wild, rapid response to fuel it all…
Winners (and NEW XPW Tag Team champions): MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS!!
