[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Joey Styles and Matt Striker both greeted us for the PPV as the opening contest went under way. The fans are heavily behind the GM and heavily against Orton. It just started off as a straight up brawl. Multiple punches, kicks, knees, elbows, uppercuts, and some of the stiffest clotheslines heard in America in years. Orton soon takes advantage with a thumb to the eye and then begins with some trademark offense. The appendix stomp, the stiff DDT...on the ramp! A stiff suplex, and even a gutwrench suplex that he's added on recently. The GM tried to get some offense going with a spinning wheel kick but once he lept toward the top rope and turned around to do his trademark missle dropkick, Orton dropkicked the GM into the railing and he landed face first, busting him open AGAIN. The GM started bleeding badly the rest of the match. Orton dropped multiple knees and fists to the laceration to widen it. The GM soon countered a second DDT attempt with an atomic drop. The GM then started going with multiple knees to the face, soon breaking Orton's nose and he starts bleeding badly. The GM soon gets Orton back with a stiff DDT of his own and follows it with a piledriver. The first cover of the match was after the piledriver but Orton kicked out at two. The GM then finally did hit his missle dropkick and then he sprang off the ropes with a modified B.M.E. and then he waited for Orton to get up for the Dark Obliteration. Orton counters with a swift elbow to the head and then Orton uses one of the GM's moves against him...a piledriver. Orton then tried to pin the GM with his feet on the ropes after that move but the GM kicked out and Orton started shouting profanities at the ref. Orton then sets up and wanting to uncoil with the RKO. Orton then has the GM in position, but the GM spins Orton around and catches him in a small package. The GM's feet were on the ropes for support and Orton couldn't kick out, giving the GM the win as the crowd goes nuts for an amazing opening contest that went about fifteen minutes.

*The camera pans backstage as the lens focuses on a small gold award, it zooms in and shows that it's the 2008: Superstar of the Year Slammy Award. The camera pulls up as we see Raven, decked in a brand new XWA shirt, as the crowd boos loudly*


Raven: You are all lucky, I decided to grace you all with my prescence. The prescence that belongs to the Superstar of the Year. More like, Megastar of the Century. Tonight I am facing Shelton Benjamin, a man who is upset that I killed a bunch of high flyers. He decided to take it upon himself, and try and stop me before I kill the entire style.


*Raven looks at the camera with a vile smirk, but, does not seem to have traces of his paranoid state*


Raven: Listen up Shelton, it would have been smart of you to never come into my business. You could have just sat around while I destroyed every living high flyer, and, when the time came, you could have simply Thanked me. But, no, you tried to play the hero role, and wanted to face me in a match. I don't know where you have been the last two years, but, I am the BIGGEST star to ever step foot in a wrestling ring. Why on Earth would you want to face me? It's like you want your career to go no where.


*Raven shifts his hand through his blond hair, as it cascades done to his shoulders*


Raven: You are in luck Shelton, tonight, I am going to end your career. You may have beaten top guys in other companies, but, you won't achieve the same luck in XWA. Tonight, I will show you have the Superstar of the year takes care of action. In the process, I will get one more wrestler out of my path, which leads me back to championship gold. Because, only TRUE athletes deserve to wear titles. Sadly for you Shelton, you don't fit the bill.



*The camera fades out as it closes with a shot of Raven's new t-shirt.*

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Joey: Well, that was quite a speech from The Dark Lord...I hope Benjamin finally shuts him up!

Striker: Easier said than done, and I don't think it can EVER be done.

Suddenly, some random remix jobber music plays and Justin Credible, Vlad Kozlov, The Great Khali, and a recovered Big Vito enter the ring to no reaction at all.

Justin Credible: We are all sick of being pushed around!

Fans: What!?

Justin: I said, we are sick of being pushed around!

Fans: What!?

Justin: I sai---

*The Canadian National Anthem begins to play as the fans begin to boo immedietely as Christian and Lance Storm suddenly walk down wearing pro Canada attire*

Justin: What do you guys all wa---

*Lance snatches the mic*

Lance: I can't believe...I was ever...a tag partner with you, and if I can be serious for a minute, I sincerely think you four need to stop bitching. That's just like typical Americans!

*The fans begin to boo Lance heavily, so Lance responds by superkicking Credible, and Christian dropkicks Khali down by his knees, and then he does the same to Kozlov. Lance superkicks Vito down and then the ring clears to just Christian and Koz. A ref runs in*

Joey: An improvision?

*The bell rings as Christian then hits Koz with a sick reverse DDT and then he climbs the top rope and hits a frogsplash for the pin*

Joey: That was quick!

Striker: The Canadian Revolution...is better than the new DEMOTED...and thank God I'm not a part of Demoted anymore, it insulted my ability to think.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Quick results: MVP defeated Kizarny via a Player's Boot in ten seconds.

Kane defeated Rhino after a tombstone piledriver on a steel chair in twelve minutes. Rhino had to be helped to the back after taking(but kicking out of) a chokeslam onto thumbtacks. Rhino did GORE Kane through a table but Kane kicked out of that.

Morrison defeated Sabin after Miz distracted the ref and Morrison hit his Moonlight Drive neckbreaker on Sabin after he kicked Sabin in the balls. It went about ten minutes. Shelley then dumped Miz and Morrison out of the ring and now we have our tag match for Wrestlemania set.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*We see Mickie placing a blue bandana over the GM's forehead backstage to try to help protect the giant gash he got from Orton. We hear some loud banging on the door.*

Mickie: Come in!

*Raven bursts in, wearing his new shirt, and heads right toward the GM*

Mickie: What business do you have?

Raven: I should ask you the same question, but this type of business is important, so get to stepping.

*Mickie takes a step toward Raven in anger, but the GM holds Mickie back and nods his head at her so she leaves*

Iser: You know as well as anyone what it's like to prepare for a match involving the XWA Title match, so what the hell do you want? Keep it quick...because I've been waiting for MY match against Edge for a long time.

*Raven smiles in an evil manner*

Raven: I'm glad you mentioned the belt. That's exactly why I came here. I already looked in the GM's office but you weren't there.

Iser: Your point?

Raven: I do have one, just let me get to it. I don't give a damn what the people think because Kentucky is one step from hickville city.

*We overhear huge boos from the crowd. It's nuclear level heat.*

Raven: They should all join Matt Hardy and drown in the river together, but regardless...I demand MY rematch at the XWA championship at the grandest stage of them all next month...at Wrestlemania.

Iser: ...give me time to think, Raven. I got blasted with a fucking chair.

Raven: You got time to think.

*Raven takes a step back before getting right back at the GM's face.*

Raven: You had one second, I want my answer.

*Iser lets out an annoyed groan*

Iser: ...if you win your match against Shelton...

*Raven interupts the GM again.*

Raven: Shelton who? Is that some fatass who molests himself with his favorite toy?

*Iser looks enraged now*

Iser: Didn't you have the same damn attitude toward me when I kicked your ass over the belt...but that's just water under the bridge. If you beat Shelton Benjamin tonight...you get your title shot.

Raven: Happy to do business with you once more.

*Raven takes a step to leave*

Iser: ...but...if you lose, you don't get your title shot...and it goes to Shelton Benjamin.

*Raven lets out a laugh*

Raven: Who the hell do you THINK you are talking to? RVD is not Mr. Pay Per View. I am! I have never lost in Pay Per View...and to the dismay of you and the majority of these people, it won't change.

*Raven leaves the locker room so the GM can get back to preparing for Edge.*

[#HEEL Dark Lord]

Lilian: The following contest is a number one contender's match for the XWA Heavyweight championship of the world!!!


*Ain't no Stopping me by Axel hits the P.A. as the crowd cheers*


Joey: This will be a huge match. You have to think Shelton in angry at Raven, for blatant disrespect at not knowing who he is.


Striker: It's all part of Raven's gameplan, he wants to get inside Shelton's head, and, I think he has done that.


Joey: It makes me sick, Raven basically bullied his way into this match, and, will get a title shot if he can beat Shelton.


Striker: You call beating Rob Van Dam in Hell in a Cell bullying? Raven has had some huge wins, that is why he got the contender's match.


*Shelton hops on the apron, looking confident as he scales the ropes and raises his hands above his head, causing the crowd to cheer even more*



Joey: This is a huge match for Shelton, if he can win, he will face the winner of Edge vs. GM Iser for the XWA title, at the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.

Striker: Shelton is doing a good job, but, I am sure he is feeling nervous. This is his first major match in XWA, and, it's against the greatest superstar of his generation, not to mention, he is the former XWA champion.


Joey: Please, do not remind me.



*Shelton's music stops as he stares up the ramp*


Lilian: Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time, please welcome Hed (Planet Earth)!!!


*Hed p.e. appears on Stage, as Jahred comes out in the new Raven (Twisted Metal Black) emblem shirt as he takes the mic*


Jahred: ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD!!!!! HE IS HERE!!!!!


*The band begins to play Suck It Up, as the arena lights dim, and smoke begins to emit from the stage area*


Jahred: I don’t belong here anymore
No, it’s not me
No, I can’t breathe
No, I am not afraid
It’s just the end of the day



*Through the smoke comes Raven, decked in his new shirt, being followed by Talena, the ever present black X still painted on the middle of her forehead. Raven looks at the sold out arena with a confident grin on his face, as the fans boo him loudly*


Jahred: How can I give in
When I can not let go
Show me the way
How can I get out of this hole?



*Raven and Talena make their way down the ramp. Looking from side to side, Raven pauses in the middle of the ramp, looks upwards and raises the Devil Horns above his head as a barrage of pyro and fireworks go off behind him*



Jahred: How can I give in
When I can not let go
Show me the way
How can I get out of this hole?



*Raven lowers his hands and locks his eyes with Shelton in the ring. Rushing down the ramp, Raven slides into the ring, walks over the the corner and raises the Devil Horns as the crowd continue to boo him*



Striker: Raven seems confident as usual.


Joey: He had a big encounter with the GM, I am sure that is still in the back of his mind.


Striker: I am sure Raven is already preparing for his title match at Mania.


*The bell rings as Raven and Shelton circle around*


Joey: This is it, who will go on to Wrestlemania, to compete for the XWA title?


Striker: That question will be answered tonight.


*Raven quickly gets the early advantage with a shot the Shelton's Jaw. He backs him in the corner and wails away with closed fists as the ref tries to get him to back off*


Joey: Not even a full minute into the match, and, Raven is cheating already.



*The ref manages to get Raven to back off, but he quickly charges at Shelton, grabs him by the neck, and pushes him back into the corner, choking the air out of him*



Striker: Raven is not allowing Shelton any time to regroup.


*The ref tells Raven to release the hold, which he does, and he tosses Shelton down to the mat and poses over him*


Joey: Raven is such a jackass, he is his own biggest fan.


*Raven approaches the prone body of Shelton and locks him in a rear chinlock*


Striker: Showing off his technical skills, Raven can pick apart his opponents.


*Raven locks in the hold even tighter, as Shelton struggles to get the air supply he needs*


Joey: He keeps this up, not only will he beat Shelton, he might end his career.

Striker: Lighten up, Joey.


*The crowd gets behind Shelton, as they cheer him on, as he manages to get back to a vertical base. Shelton manages to get out of the chinlock, but, Raven snaps his head back, and sends him crashing down to the canvas*


Striker: Shelton did have the momentum going for him, but, it was quikcly ended.



*Raven picks Shelton up, and sends him off the ropes, but Shenton uses his agility to leapfrog over Raven and manages to hit him with a quick dropkick*


Joey: Just like that, Shelton is in control.


*Raven quickly gets up, but is met with another Dropkick*


Striker: Shelton does have a slight advantage with his speed, he is wearing Raven out.


*Shelton picks Raven up, and sends him into the corner, Shelton goes to the other side of the ring, charges, and sends all his weight right into Raven with a huge corner splash*


Joey: What amazing speed, Shelton can win.



*Shelton goes for the cover, but only gets a count of two*


Striker: If Shelton were smart, he would keep on the pressure.


*Shelton climbs the ropes as Raven stumbles to his feet. He turns around and is knocked down with a top rope lariat.


Joey: What height on that leap.


*Shelton goes for another cover, but, Raven manages to kick out at the last second*


Striker: You can tell, Shelton is starting to get a bit agitated.


Joey: He should keep on the attack, use that emotion from hearing what Raven said about him.


*Shelton manages to keep his compsure as he goes to pick up Raven. Raven stops his roll with a thumb the the eye and a huge DDT*


Joey: That had to be out of desperation.


*Raven slowly crawls over to Shelton*


Striker: Will Raven go to Mania?


*The ref's hand nearly comes down for three, but, much to Raven's dismay, Shelton kicks out*


Joey: He kicked out, he kicked out!!!!


*Raven gets pissed and starts punching at the canvas*


Striker: He is not happy about that outcome.


*Raven looks down at Shelton, then looks like he got an idea. Raven kneels down on the canvas and eyes up Shelton*


Joey: I think Raven is looking for a Chaos Theory finish.


Striker: Good guess, if he connects, this match is over


*Raven eagerly waits as Shelton slowly makes his way to a standing position, Raven spins him around and goes for a Chaos Theory, but, Shelton counters out of it nad hits The Pay Dirt*


Joey: Pay Dirt!! Pay Dirt!!!


Striker: Wait, was it that?

*Raven is shown rolling around the mat in pain, clutching at his right shoulder*


Joey: It seems that Raven is injured.


Striker: The ref might have to stop the match.


*The ref bends down and checks on Raven. Raven yells out in pain, as even Shelton looks on with a sympathetic look on his face*


Striker: It's never a good thing to see one of your fellow wrestlers get injured, even if you don't like them very much.


Joey: You have to wonder how serious the injury is.


*Shelton backs away from the ref, allowing him to check on Raven, as Talena slides in the ring, and nails Shelton with a low blow*


Joey: What was that for?!


*Talena slides out of the ring without being caught, as Raven jumps to his feet and charges at Shelton, nailing him with the Dark Assassin, as he hooks the leg and gets the pin*


Lilian: Here is your winner, and the new number one contender for the XWA title, Raven!!!


*Suck It Up hits and Raven and Talena hurry up the ramp as the crowd boos loudly*


Joey: I can't believe it, Raven faked an injury, and screwed Shelton out of the match!!!


Striker: You might not like it, but, Raven is your new number one contender.


*Instant replay airs, as we recap the final moments of the match*


Joey: This is not right, the GM should not allow this.


*Raven is shown raising the Devil Horns as he looks at Shelton with a big grin on his face*


Striker: Raven is going to Wrestlemania. His opponent will be decided, as the XWA title match is next.


*Raven and Talena dissapear backstage as a video package plays the highlights of the GM Iser/Edge feud*



Winner via pinfall: Raven (16:00)

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Joey: I still can't believe that cheating son of a bitch is going to Wrestlemania. This is a screw job and a half!

Striker: What's done is done, Joey. We could have an all Canadian main event in Calgary next month if Edge retains.

Joey: Oh dear God, no.

Lillian: The following contest is scheduled for one fall...and in it...there will be no DQs.

Joey: What!?

Striker: I think this was to make sure Edge wouldn't take 'the easy road'...smart planning by the GM using his own powers for his advantage.

*Psychosocial begins to play as the fans stand to their feet in applause*

Joey: Speaking of the devil...it's the boss.

Striker: It might come full circle.

*Iser and Mickie appear side by side on the ramp as the fans continue to cheer like crazy*

Joey: The challenger for the XWA championship is making his way to the ring and judging from his attire...it's darker...maybe he's feeling darker than usual.

Striker: Joey, he's BEEN darker than usual. His overall attitude has become slightly demonic.

Joey: Maybe Edge is pulling him into those depths, Striker?

Striker: Perhaps.

*Iser and Mickie slide into the ring as Iser takes off his black trench coat to reveal that he's wearing his black jeans to the ring and a black t-shirt with his name on it. He even has a knee brace on his left knee on the outside of his jeans and his elbow pads on...black of course.*

Joey: Time for the champ.

*You think you know me...*

Striker: Listen to these people boo, Joey.

*The fans are flipping Edge the bird as he appears with Lita.*

Joey: The Spanish fly department isn't open...even though Lita always is.

*Striker backhands Joey in the face*

Joey: OW!

Striker: Never again.

*Edge goes down the ramp and starts jawwing with some fans as the GM climbs to the top rope*

Striker: Watch it, champ.

*Iser jumps toward Edge and as Edge turns around, he gets a clothesline from the GM as the fans go completely insane.*

Joey: Oh Lord! The GM must've drank his red bull this afternoon!

Striker: You should hit the happy grass instead, Joey.

Joey: ...

*Iser starts dropping knees directly to the face of Edge, using that knee brace to his advantage.*

Joey: He IS feeling darker...

Striker: Quit feeling me!

Joey: I am not!

Striker: ...

*Iser then picks Edge up by his hair, who hasn't even taken the belt or his coat off yet, and tosses him to the steps where he lays there.*

Joey: Hello! That doesn't taste like chicken.

*Iser takes a couple steps back and then charges like he wants to shoulder block him into the steps, but Edge moves and Iser cracks head first off the steps*

Joey: JEEEEEZ

Striker: Cringe moment right there, Joseph.

*Edge then takes the advantage by punching right at the GM's head...and he's already busted open*

Joey: The GM's busted open yet again!

Striker: If he could sell that to the red cross considering all the blood he loses, he'd be a rich man!

*Edge then tosses the GM into the ring and then shouts at Lita to get some weapons.*

Joey: The sex puppet going to work.

Striker: That sentence sounded so wrong.

*Lita slides in a cookie sheet as Edge grabs it. Edge waits for the GM to get up, takes a full swing, but the GM ducks and then knees Edge right in the gut. He follows this up with a million dollar knee lift to Edge's face*

Joey: This is just a sadistic brawl.

*Iser ends up putting the cookie sheet to Edge's face*

Joey: Uh-oh...I think we've seen this before.

*Iser then jumps on the middle rope and then nails an insane looking dropkick to the cookiesheet and onto Edge's face*

Joey: On second thought, OH MY GOD! I've never seen it done like THAT!

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Quick results: The match continued and it involved a ladder now. There was a tigerbomb from the top by Iser to Edge, but Edge kicked out. Iser and Edge were both bloodied by the end of it, and then when Edge went for the spear, Iser went with the small package and got two. Edge then booted Iser in the face, and then speared Iser. Edge got 2 after Iser put the foot on the rope. Edge went to the top, but Iser got onto the top and then hit a Black Magic for the three. Mickie James and Lita were both kicked out of ringside after they brawled on the outside. Iser celebrates his second climb to the top as Edge obliterated the ringside area in frustration.
