The Game - XTreme Internet Wrestling

*The gym goes black and then pyro goes off, shaking the Springfield High School Gymnasium to the core. The crowd of nearly a thousand is on their feet and cheering as the lights come back on. Inside the center of the ring is Joey Styles with a mic in his hand*

STYLES: Welcome everybody to the first XIW Barbwire!!!! (Crowd cheers) I am Joey Styles and now, may I introduce my announce partner, Springfield's own, Tarren Weaver.

The crowd cheers as "One Wild Night" by Bon Jovi plays over the P.A. and Tarren Weaver walks out in a chain-net shirt and leather jeans. He gets to the ring and steps over the top rope. He goes to the center of the ring and grabs the mic from Joey.

TARREN: Now it's time to add a little excitement to the XIW. I'd introduce Stacy Carter right now, but she's a little busy getting herself together. You see, me and her had a little meeting in the back going over tonight's event. And it wore her out a lot. (Joey, who has gotten another mic from the timekeeper, buts in)

STYLES: Tarren, we don't want to hear about your personal life. (crowd boos)

TARREN: Well, I think the people here do. Well, we were in, what I believe is the principal's office and she was sitting on the desk in front of me and I was sitting in the principal's chair. And Stacy was wearing a very short red skirt and she had her legs apart so I noticed that she didn't . . . .

Out of nowhere, "Demolition" by Alice Cooper plays and the President of the XIW, Tubb Weaver walks out to a monster applause. Their child, Tubb Weaver, has returned to sports entertainment. He is wearing a t-shirt and shorts. He takes a drink of the beer that he's carrying in his hand as he walks down to the ring. He enters it and takes the mic from his brother, Tarren.

TUBB: (looking up, in his brother's eyes) I don't care about you and Stacy's sex life. You have had more women in your life than I had beers. So, shut up. (turns to the crowd) Well, I want to thank all of you for coming tonight. However, we will not be following our card that we have set for tonight. I will explain, but first, I want the wrestlers of the XIW to come out here to ringside, NOW!!!!!!! I dont' want any pyro, no entrance music, just wrestlers bring your asses out here now!!!!

Tubb waits as the first of the XIW wrestlers makes there way to ringside.

STYLES: You don't seem too happy, Tubb. What's the matter?

TUBB: (takes another drink of his beer) Wait a damn second and I'll tell each and every one of you.

The last of the wrestlers makes their way to ringside as Tubb starts to talk again.

TUBB: Well, well, well. It's good to see you all showed up tonight, considering I didn't hear a damn word from most of you all week. I know this fed is just starting up, but I still expect you guys to work as hard as I am to make this thing work. But instead of getting that, I got most of you guys just sitting at home and waiting until tonight to come here and put on a "Rastlin'" performance. Well, that may of worked in WCW under Ted Turner, but it sure as hell won't work here in the XIW under Tubb Weaver's watch. So, tonight, there will be only one match. A match that has in the wrestlers who actually did something this week, beside just wait until tonight to put on their show. So, AC Storm, Brian Benoit, and, oh hell, Soul Fly, go back and get ready. There's a triple threat match tonight and you are the people in it. As for the rest of you, think about why you're here. If you aren't going to do your part to make the XIW work, I don't want you here. I just ask that you show your face a couple times during the week. That's not too much to ask. Because any more weeks like last week, and the XIW will die. Now, go back to your TVs in the back and watch Storm, Benoit, and Soul Fly wrestle. And think, this could of been, hell, it should of been you.

The wrestlers head back to the locker rooms with anger and confusion on their face.

STYLES: Mr. Weaver, I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but you are not going to be too popular in the back if you have this attitude.

TUBB: Mr, Styles. This isn't an attitude. I'm handled this quit well, I thought. But, if these guys don't do their part, you will be back doing Indy Ciruit wrestling, making nothing.

"Demolition" plays again and Tubb exits the ring. He walks back to the locker room as Tarren Weaver and Joey Styles look confused.

Joey and Tarren are now sitting at the announce table at ringside.

JOEY: Wow, this is a weird night, already. We are only going to have one match, a Triple Threat between AC Storm, Brian Benoit, and Soul Fly, somebody who only signed with the XIW yesterday.

TARREN: I worked with Soul Fly in the RWA. She is not somebody to reckon with. But, she is a babe. I can only imagine how she is in the sack.

JOEY: Is that all you think about? Sex and who's good at it?

TARREN: Hey, gotta keep the human race going. Only doing my part to avoid the extinction of our species.

JOEY: Oh please. Ok, now for the first match of the night and the Main Event.

RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta Canada, "The Greatest of All" Brian Benoit.
"Dammit" by Blink182 begins to play over the pa system as Brian Benoit walks out. He goes down the aisle, slides into the ring, and poses for his fans.
RING ANNOUNCER: And his opponent, from Nederland, Texas, AC Storm.
Lights go out and turn to blue, the sound of a blizzard starts and Search And Destroy plays as AC Storm runs down and fires up the fans
RING ANNOUNCER: And their opponent, from Gaithersburg Maryland, Soul Fly.
The arena becomes dark, suddenly blue and black pyros go off and Devils Dance by metallica plays over the pa system as SoulFly makes her way to the ring.
STYLES: The wrestlers didn't prepare for this match. They thought they were going to be wrestling other people.
TARREN: Hell, Soul Fly wasn't even scheduled to fight. But I'm glad my brother decided to put her in this match. I missed her.
Benoit turns to Soul Fly and gestures to her. Then he and Storm lock up.
TARREN: I guess Brian Benoit is upset at the remarks that Soul Fly made about him and his father, but why should he. She noticed him, so hey, he should be flattered.
Benoit takes Storm and throws him into the ropes. On the return, Benoit gives him a beautiful arm drag. Storm quickly gets up and Benoit gives him a standing drop kick. Storm falls down again. He quickly gets up and runs at Benoit, who steps aside and puts Storm in the Crippler Crossface.
JOEY: Brian Benoit is pulling a play out of his pop's playbook.
SoulFly walks over to Benoit who's laying on the mat, with Storm in the Crossface. SoulFly looks down at Benoit and gives him the Double Bird. She then starts kicking Benoit until he releases the hold. He slowly gets up and SoulFly grabs him and whips him into the ropes. On the return, SoulFly tries a clothesline, but Benoit ducks under it. When he comes back again, SoulFly hits Benoit with a Hurricanearama. She then picks him up and puts his head between her legs, setting him up for the Free Fall (Pedigree).
TARREN: That's a great place to have your head. Damn I wish she'd try that move out on me.
JOEY: That's Soul Fly's finisher, the Free Fall. She hits this, Benoit is done.
Soul Fly gives Benoit the Free Fall. She is about ready to pin Benoit when Storm, who has made his way to the nearby top turnbuckle, leaps off and gives Soulfly the Eye of the Storm, his finishing move.
JOEY: Wow, where did AC Storm come from?
Storm drags Benoit on top of SoulFly, he wants to pin them both at the same time. He covers them. The ref counts 1 . . . . 2 . . . . The gym goes black.
JOEY: What the heck!!!!!
TARREN: Styles, can't you even say hell?
When the lights come back on, Iron-Head is in the ring, standing over AC Storm, who doesn't notice he's there. Iron Head picks up Storm and knees him in the gut. He then picks him up and gives him The Brush With Death. He then starts beating on SoulFly and Benoit and throws them over the top rope out of the ring. Then the Heenan Family runs down to the ring with chairs and anything else they could find on the way to ringside. The get in and start beating on Iron-Head.
TARREN: Well, I guess Iron-Head cannot handle 5 men. He can't handle just me either, but I dont' want to brag.
It starts to look like Iron-Head might be fighting back when "Demolition" by Alice Cooper plays again and Tubb Weaver makes his way to ringside again. He drinks a beer as he watches Benoit, Storm, and SoulFly drag themselves back into the ring to join in the fight. Tubb then grabs a mic and speaks . . .
TUBB: Now, this is what I like to see. Everybody beating the ever-loving hell out of each other. If you guys can be like this all week and not just on Saturdays, I'll be happy. Otherwise, I'll be one one standing over each and every one of your unconscious asses.
Tubb turns and walks back to the locker room.
JOEY: Tubb's not going to do anything to stop this?
TARREN: Tubb likes a good fight. This is what Xtreme is about in the XIW. That and me in a handicap bedroom match with SoulFly and Stacy Carter.
JOEY: Oh for the love of . . . Well, folks. I know this was not what you expected. It surely wasn't what we expected. But, we look forward to seeing you back here next week for another edition of Barbwire. Anything can happen. Have a good night folks and Take care.
