JR: Ladies and Gentlemen, we are just a few days removed from XCW's very first Pay Per View, Tabula Rasa, and I must tell you, it was intense from wire to wire. Welcome to the Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania as we bring you live sports entertainment from Keystone Country tonight on FULL THROTTLE!
King: (Sarcastically) Thanks for the great introduction, JR. I'm really feeling the love.
JR: I'm joined at ring side by my broadcast partner, Jerry Lawler. Tonight we have a huge main event lined up as the fans have voted and decided that Kurt Angle will be facing Edge in a World Championship match. King, how difficult is it to only have a couple days to rest up from a hellacious match with Triple H, and almost immidiately have to turn around and face Edge for the title you just won?
King: Well, JR, you raise a good point, but let's not forget that Edge got Jackhammered through a table the other night as well!
JR: He sure did! I'm sure both these men are going to scrap and brawl with everything they have in order to keep, or in Edge's case, obtain that coveted World Title. Let's take you backstage, now, as Santino Marella is with Mean Gene for an interview before tonight's first match.
The camera shows Santino standing backstage in his wrestling trunks and a blue "Italia" tee shirt that has been augmented a bit to hype Santino. He looks cockily down his nose toward Gene who wears his usual tux and holds a mic. Gene goes to speaks, but Santino promptly takes the microphone away from him before he can get a word out.
Santino Marella: Mr. Gene-a-not-so-very-mean-a, you SHUDDAP-A YOU FACE-A for-a moment-a. I, the great-a Santino Marella will do the talking-a.
Gene looks back at Santino, angred, then walks off the set leaving Santino to smile back at the camera and step into the center of the viewing area.
Santino Marella: Hello, my loyal-a fans. You see Santino is quite-a upset about-a not having-a match-a at Tabula Pasta. Santino feels that he has been-a left out in the cold-a dark alleyway with very little to eat-a. Santino is not-a little Peppito! Santino is a SUPERSTAR-A and should-a be treated as-a such!
Santino gets a very stern look on his face, but then calms himself and continues his hauty, down-nose look toward the camera.
Santino Marella: But, Santino is not-a one to dwell on things-a. Tabula Pasta is over and Santino must-a look to the future! Tonight-a I will wrestle "Mr. American Dragon-a" and show-a you all what you have-a been wanting to see-a! This-a Dragon-a man is probably just-a one of those crazy-a masked superhero men anyway, and besides-a, everyone knows-a that there are no such thing-a as Dragons!
Santino looks toward an offstage assistant and whisper quietly, but audibly. As he walks off camera to go to the ring.
Santino Marella: Is there such-a thing as a Dragon-a?
MATCH 1: Santino Marella vs. Bryan Danielson (Debut)
Bryan begins the match surprising Marella by grabbing him around the waist then slipping behind him and slamming him back on his head with a bridging belly-to-back suplex. Santino immidiately kicks out and stand up, wiggling a finger back and forth scolding Bryan. Bryan just stares, determined and focused, and charges for a wrist lock. Bryan kicks Santino in the stomach and doubles him over. Bryan releases the wrist lock and applies a double-underhook and then suplexes Santino to the mat again. Santino gets up and runs behind the ref to buy himself a moment to reset. Bryan holds his fists up and continues to focus. Santino locks up with Bryan and catches him off guard with a european uppercut. Bryan's head rocks backward and Santino nods his head and smiles as if he finally did something right. Santino whips Bryan to the ropes and clocks him with a clothesline, then goes for a pin attempt: 1...Kick-out!
Santino applies a side headlock and contorts his face as he tries to apply pressure to Bryan's head. Bryan turns sideways and back body drops Santino onto his back. Danielson grabs Santino's arm and applies a triangle choke, but Santino grabs the bottom rope and breaks the hold. Bryan shakes his head in disappointment at himself for applying the move to close to the ropes. Santino gets up and throws a boot up as Bryan charges him. Bryan gets a boot to the face and rocks backward. Santino grabs him by the legs and flips him back onto the mat. Santino preps for a submission move, but Danielson kicks Santino back into the ropes. Santino falls forward with a elbow drop right onto Danielson's head. Santino stands over Bryan and leans over to yell into his face: "You are not-a so scary little Dragon-a man! You don't-a even have-a mask!" Bryan kicks him swiftly in the top of the head. Santino stands and grabs his head in pain with a look of surprise on his face. Bryan sweeps Santino's feet out from underneath him and he drops to the mat on his back. Bryan drags Santino into the middle of the ring and straps on the Cattle Mutilation!
Santino doesn't wait long at all before tapping, in horrendous pain.
WINNER: Bryan Danielson!
JR: Very impressive debut from The American Dragon tonight on XCW. Santino never really got a move in edge-wise as Bryan really dominated most of the match.
King: I don't think Bryan was here to wrestle for hours in the greatest contest ever seen. He was here to prove that he is for real and intends to be taken very seriously, much more seriously than Santino Marella was wanting to take him, for sure.
JR: Fans we have a bit of news regarding the health of Kaz, who recieved an injury after getting hit with the Candian Destroyer at Tabula Rasa...off the top rope. Kaz has a severe neck sprain and will be out of action for a couple of weeks, but he is going to be ok and we look forward to his return to XCW.
King: That sure is good news. That injury could have been much more severe after seeing Petey Williams take such a high risk.
JR: We will be right back after these messages.
XCW goes to commercial break. As XCW returns, we see Petey Williams backstage speaking to a female XCW worker, who is apparently not interested in him...at all. Petey wears jogging pants and no shirt as the Cruiserweight Title is held over his shoulder.
Petey Williams: Honey, I'm the Definition of Definition! I tell you what, here is my number, call me if you change your mind.
Petey hands the girl a folded up piece of paper and smiles. The girl smiles, nauseated, then walks off, tossing the paper into the nearest wastebin. Suddenly, JBL walks on set and bumps chest's with Petey. Petey looks up, then smiles awkwardly.
JBL: Get out of here, now, before I squash you like the bug you are.
Petey looks around and tries to come up with a rebuttal, but decides to take JBL up on his offer and leave the set. JBL looks upset as he glare at the camera.
JBL: R...V...D. Last week, at Tabula Rasa, you SCREWED me out of my Street Fight with Sting. You should have stayed at home, ballerina boy. You want to play with the big dogs...you just walked into the vet and opened the rabies pin. Next week...Full Throttle...you and me. And, when Im done with you, I'll finish what I started with Sting.
JBL smiles widely and then walks off set.
MATCH 2: MVP vs. AJ Styles
AJ and MVP begin this match the same way they ended the last one, a flat out brawl. The ref looks on, disturbed, as he has no idea how he is going to keep this match legal. MVP gets the upperhand and suplexes AJ to the mat. AJ arches his back and grimaces in pain. MVP wipes the dirt off his shoulder tauntingly and then drops a leg drop on the down Phenomenal One. MVP then hooks a headlock behind the seated AJ Styles and taunts him verbally: "Come on AJ, you want to be MVP? You ain't got nothin on me!" AJ angrily drives a forearm shot at MVP's head, but misses wildly. AJ tries to stand, but MVP kicks him in the back of the leg and maintains the hold. AJ slumps to his side and MVP releases the hold and kicks him hard in the back. MVP pushes AJ's face into the mat for a pin: 1...2...kick-out.
MVP viciously locks the headlock back on AJ as he tries to rise. "I'm the Franchise, baby! Your the rookie!" he yells in AJ's ear as the contorts his arms and applies pressure to AJ's head. AJ manages to get some energy and stand, then turn sideways and elbow MVP in the gut. MVP releases the hold, but tries to maintain. AJ fires another elbow, then rushes to the ring ropes. AJ tries a flying crossbody, but MVP catches AJ, then slams him backward overhead in an impressive feat of strength. AJ rolls out to the ring apron. MVP follows and pulls him to his feet, the ring ropes between them. AJ nails a right hook, which stuns MVP. AJ takes the opportunity and grabs MVP by the head. AJ leaps into the air over the top rope and drives MVP's jaw into his knee with a facebuster. MVP slumps to the mat as the crowd cheers from the big move. AJ kicks away at MVP then pulls him to his feet. AJ snap suplexes him to the mat and goes for a pin: 1...2...kick-out.
MVP stands slowly as AJ watches him, waiting for his chance to attack. AJ charges MVP and MVP throws his big boot up in defense. AJ takes the blow stumbles backward. MVP uses AJ's knee to hit a shining wizard that drops AJ again. MVP smiles confidently and pulls AJ to his feet. MVP prepares for the Playmaker and looks to the crowd, who boos him loudly. AJ counters with a legsweep, but MVP amazingly holds onto AJ and suicide flips him over his head! AJ bounces off the middle turnbuckle and slumps to his butt. MVP gets up and smirks disgustingly. AJ begins to stand and MVP measures his attack. AJ gets to his feet and MVP slams a huge big boot into his face. AJ slumps again. MVP pulls AJ to the middle of the ring and drops him with a Playmaker. Pinfall: 1...2...3!
WINNER: MVP!
MVP taunts he crowd by throwing up his 305 hand sign. AJ moves, dazed, while laying on the mat. MVP leaves the ring and AJ is left to recover.
JR: MVP gets his first win over AJ since way back in the beginning of XCW. He was pretty dominate in that match as well.
King: He sure was, but I don't see AJ Styles giving up so soon. We have not seen the last of these two in the ring with one another.
XCW goes to commercial break. As it returns from break, we see Eric Bischoff standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand. He wears his usual black leather jacket and jeans.
Eric Bischoff: Well, well, well. Tabula Rasa is over.
The fans cheer moderately.
Eric Bischoff: And, I have been recieving a number of questions regarding a few things around XCW at the moment. For example, a large number of you want to know what is in the black briefcase that JBL brought me a few weeks ago. Suffice it to say that all of you will find out soon enough, and I'm sure you will enjoy its contents thouroghly. Another question is what is going to happen to Randy Orton now that he has failed me...again. Randy is currently...well, indisposed at the moment. I don't want to downplay how talented Orton is, however, if you want to work for ME, you better get the job done and, we can all agree, Randy has been disappointing and disrespectful.
The fans give a mixed reaction.
Eric Bischoff: Another question that I have been asking myself is...how am I supposed to continue to give you, the loyal fans, what you want, when I am acting as both owner...AND General Manager. SO, I have decided to employ someone to assist me in one of those positions. I have added a General Manager position to the Full Throttle employees list.
The fans give another mixed reaction.
Eric Bischoff: He will continue to fulfill the same responsibilities that I was taking care of and will manage each show with discretion. Some of you may know who he is...and I have full faith in his ability to continue to push this program to the top. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the NEW General Manager of Xtreme Championship Wrestling Full Throttle, a good friend of mine, and a legend in this business...
HULK HOGAN!
The crowd explodes into cheers as Hogan makes his way down the ramp to "Real American." He wears a blue three piece suit and looks very clean and prepped. His head is covered in a Hulkamania bandana and he nods and smiles as the fans scream his name. "Hogan, Hogan, Hogan" is chanted in the crowd as he steps in the ring and plays to the crowd. Hogan takes the microphone and shakes Bischoff's hand.
Hulk Hogan: Brother (Hogan looks around, obviously touched by the fans reaction)...its about to get exciting around here! I tell you what, brother, I sure do appreciate Mr. Bischoff giving me the opportunity to help him run the greatest wrestling company in the business today!
Bischoff nods and smiles as the crowd continues going wild.
Hulk Hogan: And I promise you this, I won't let you, or the millions of Hulkamaniacs all over the world down. I'm gonna bust my rear end, eat my veggies, and take my vitamins to make sure that XCW is at full potential, BROTHER.
JR: What news! Hulk Hogan is now the General Manager for XCW!
King: That means that Hogan is our boss, JR!
JR: That's good to hear, Hogan is a great guy to have around and always brings the best out of everyone around him, welcome to XCW Mr. Hogan!
Hogan and Bischoff make their way back down the ramp, accepting high fives from fans as the next match is ready to begin.
MATCH 3 (Four Man Tag Team Match): Miz/Morrison/Hawkins/Ryder vs. Generico/Kingston/Bourne/Homicide
Kofi Kingston begins the match by locking up with the Miz. Miz arm drags Kofi to the mat then hops over him and kicks him in the chest as he tries to stand up. Kofi sweeps Miz onto his back and jumps up to his feet. Kofi runs to the ropes and greets a rising Miz with a high flying crossbody. Both men bounce to the mat and get to their feet quickly.

Bourne lifts Morrison to his feet and Morrison grabs him by the head and drives his chin down on his head. Evan grabs his own jaw and Morrison takes the moment to hit a back breaker. Morrison holds Bourne on his knee for a moment and pushes down on his torso before pushing him to the mat. Morrison tags in Ryder.

Evan fires a right jab, and Ryder hits a kick to the stomach.

Jeff Hardy's techno style music hits as the contestants leave the ring area. Jeff make his way to the ring through thunderous cheers from the fans. He wears his usual black painters jeans and a tight Hardy tee shirt. His hair is dyed red tonight and he carries his No-Limits Title over his shoulder. He climbs in the ring and plays to the crowd a bit before asking for a microphone.
Jeff Hardy: Thank you...you know, alot of people have been asking me what this title I won at Tabula Rasa really means. After all, it is called the "No-Limits" title, and I am your No-Limits champion.
The fans pop a bit as Hardy lifts the title into the air from his shoulder.
Jeff Hardy: Well, I have been thinking about it and...I figure that the title should be just that: No-Limits. I am going to defend this title in just that way. I will do the title and the fans justice by defending it against any and all opponents at any time. You want a piece of me? You think you can take the title from me? Bring it on. Any time, any day, any match. I don't care who you are...
Suddenly, Jeff is interrupted by Kennedy's theme music. Kennedy walks out onto the entrance ramp and glares cockily toward Jeff in the ring. Jeff looks back at him nodding in acceptance. Ken wears jeans and a blue button up shirt with a white paint splatter effect on it. He holds a microphone.
Ken Kennedy: Jeff, let me ask you something, do really believe that you deserve to hold that No-Limits Title after I got shafted in our fatal four way at Tabula Rasa? I case you forgot, let me remind you:
A video plays on the titantron showing the Fatal Four Way at Tabula Rasa.
Kennedy pulls Hardy to a front face lock and then hits a swinging neckbreaker. Hardy, MVP, and AJ are all laying flat on their back in the ring as Kennedy gets to his feet and surveys the damage. Kennedy decides to go after AJ, who seems to be in shock from the move he just recieved. AJ gets dragged to his feet and then blocks a hook before drop kicking Kennedy in the knee. Kennedy falls and grabs his leg. AJ gets to his knee and lifts MVP into a front face lock. AJ begins setting up the Styles Clash while Hardy starts getting to his feet. AJ lands the Styles Clash on MVP and the fans cheer. AJ pins MVP: 1...2...Hardy breaks up the pin!
Hardy lifts AJ and slings him over the top rope to the floor outside the ring. He turns and notices Kennedy rising again. Frusteration is obvious on all four competitors faces at this point as the match continues to take its toll on them. Kennedy charges Hardy, who ducks and pulls the top rope down causing Kennedy to sail over the top rope outside the ring. Hardy is in the ring alone with MVP, who is lying in his own spit and sweat, face-first on the mat. Hardy drags MVP to the corner and rolls him onto his back. Hardy climbs the ropes and the crowd gets very loud at this point. Hardy throws his taunting hand into the air and then leaps heels over head into the Swanton Bomb! Pinfall: 1...2...3!
Jeff Hardy: You know, Ken, I do think I deserve the title. I beat three other men fair and square in one of heck of a match. You didn't get shafted...you...got...BEAT.
The crowd pops as Jeff stares, focused, at Kennedy who laughs sarcastically and nods lightly. Ken runs his finger across his nose before speaking again.
Ken Kennedy: Ok, Jeff...
Jeff Hardy: You know what, Kennedy, if you got a problem with me having the title, why don't you come down here right now and take it from me?
The crowd pops again and Kennedy looks seriously at Hardy.
Ken Kennedy: Because that would be too easy, Jeff. You see, if you really want to defend your title, anywhere, anytime, I might as well wait until the proper opportunity shows itself to me. If you can toss me aside like you did at Tabula Rasa, I can wait till you are ready to hand the title over. And then...when I have bloodied you up and beat you...1...2...3...in a back alley after a show, you will remember the name...MIIIIIIIIIISTEEEEEEER KEEEEEENEEEEEEDYYY!!
Kennedy throws the microphone to the floor and spits toward the ring before leaving the entrance ramp. Hardy shakes his head and pats the belt resting on his shoulder. XCW goes to commercial.

Angle and Edge lock up and Edge spins around behind Angle and applies a backslide for a quick pin attempt, but Angle kicks out.

Edge stands and smiles as he knows he has Angle right where he wants him. He lifts Angle to his feet, punches him hard in the jaw knocking him to the ground, and then lifts him again. Edge sets up the inverse DDT in the middle of the ring. Edge looks around and waits a moment, but suddenly Angle grabs his leg and flips him down to the mat, applying the Ankle Lock in the very middle of the ring! Edge screams in pain as Angle lays on the mat and grapevines his leg. Edge reaches in desperation for the ropes as the ref asks him for his decision. Edge slams the mat with both hands in anger and pain as Angle's face contorts, tweaking the ankle as hard as he can. Edge grabs at his knee and then slams his fists down on the mat rapidly, tapping out to Kurt Angle!
WINNER: Kurt Angle [c]!
JR: Wow, what a way to come back for Kurt Angle! He was really in trouble in this match, but the Ankle Lock is such a devastating move that it was enough to save him from certain defeat!
King: The fans sure picked a good opponent for Angle, but Edge just could'nt get it done tonight as Kurt retains his World Title!
Angle grabs his belt and leaps around the ring, smiling victoriously. Edge lays in the middle of the ring still, grasping his leg in great pain. XCW goes off air.
