3XW episode 1

[Max]

JBL: Hello and welcome to the first ever episode of the 3XW I'm John Bradshaw Layfield accompanied by my commentary partner Booker T, we're kicking of with the action as the first match of the Tag team championship tournament begins, coming to the ring right now is Beer Money, James Storm & Bobby Roode!

Booker T: Yeah JBL, I gotta tell you being a man who's competed against these 2 guys I can promise you they aint somethin' to take lightly!

JBL: Well Booker I'm gonna be honest with you when I say if you haven't made it to the WWE and you're on the 3XW roster that means your from TNA and while I may get some heat for saying it, they just plain suck.

Booker T: Being a former TNA competitor myself JBL I gotta disagree with you there, I mean here's Miz and Morrison 2 guys from the WWE and I can straight up promise you Beer Money's gonna be givin' Miz and Morrison a run for their money!

JBL: I'm sticking to my guns here Booker I still have to say if you're not WWE material then I'm not voting in your favor.

Booker T: Yeah well we'll see about that sucka, Roode and Storm are callused with the work of TNA I'm stickin' to my guns when I tell you these suckas aint nothin' to mess with John.

JBL: Well there's the ref 3XW official Steve Stallone, I bet Steve would agree with me when it comes down to TNA and WWE competitors!

Booker T: Man enough of your WWE vs TNA non-sense John, these suckas right there are straight up competitors, not a brand logo, besides Steve is a ref they wouldn't let him ref our matches if he had a biased toward a specific brand.

JBL: This match is underway as Storm and Miz lock up, our hearts are with you Miz.

Booker T: Man speak fo' yourself sucka, James Storm is one of the baddest MF's on our roster to date and I bet if him and Roode play their cards right throughout this tournament they'll be leavin' the arena with gold around their dang waists.

JBL: Miz already has the advantage Booker, if we're talkin' cards here, Miz's already got the royal flush!

Booker T: Miz takes to the ropes and James Storm may be in trouble here man.

JBL: Looks like you spoke a lil too soon their Booker, tides may be turning.

Booker T: What happened to no faith in the TNA roster there John?

JBL: I'm allowed to change my mind aint I Booker? look at that Storm is wrecking Miz!

Booker T: Man it's too early in the match for anybody to be considered "wrecked" here John, let's just leave it at Miz aint doin' much to Storm right now.

JBL: Man once again Booker you speak too soon, gettin' tossed into the turnbuckle like that is a real son of a bitch on the shoulder.

Booker T: Morrison tags himself in and the tides may just turn once more if Morrison can take over this match.

JBL: Once again along with the tides my mind has changed on who I'm routing for in this match as Morrison takes to a springboard off those top ropes!

Booker T: Man oh man Morrison's comin' in hot with that crossbody Storm better watch out here!


JBL: Excellently executed maneuver by John Morrison, really taking it to James Storm with that cross body.


Booker T: Ya know what John it's only been 10 minutes of you and I being commentary partners and I can already tell I'm gonna hate the rest of my time here sittin' next to you.

JBL: Well if you don't like it just up and quit and go back to the WWE and talk to Michael freakin' Cole all night watching Santino tickle Brodus Clay for a main event.

Booker T: No thanks John I came to the 3XW to get what the wrestlin' world needs, legit competition! Hey John what made you trash talk WWE all of a sudden I thought you said it was superior to TNA?

JBL: That may be Booker but I think I gotta new found love for the 3XW and its roster!

Booker T: Yeah that's right there aint no TNA or WWE here baby just raw action on the 3XW!

JBL: Storm with that boot over Morrison's head after that vicious double elboy to John's back and head.

Booker T: Man what a stomp on the back of Morrison's head, the Cowboy's really takin' him on in this one JBL.

JBL: Wait, he's a cowboy? Man I think I'm likin' this whole Beer Money thing, those are 3 of my favorite things, Beer, Money and cowboys!

Booker T: You aint seen nothin' yet John here comes Beer Money's Bobby Roode, he's a real ass kicker in the ring!


JBL: Looks like Roode's gonna hit 'em with a clothesline here!


Booker T: God damn! Morrison dodges that clothesline and Roode hits referee Steve Stallone by mistake, is he okay!?

JBL: Wait! I changed my mind again Booker! Look at that Miz is a mother lovin' opportunist, that idiot Roode missed his target and now he's gonna pay!

Booker T:John man, you're more fickle then Mick Foley's alternate personalities man, you sure you not crazy?

JBL: Crazy? More like smart. In the business world Booker, always root for the winning team! In this case the winning team wants Roode to turn around and look behind him!

Booker T: God damn! What a chair shot on Roode! C'mon ref wake up!


JBL: Oh man Storm wants revenge! What's he gonne do here!?

Booker T: It's the Super kick!

JBL: Wo what a kick! Shades of Shawn Michaels in that boot to the face!

Booker T: Looks like Storm aint the only one out for revenge here.

JBL: Storm's talkin' smack meanwhile, right behind him awaits a skull crushing finale!


Booker T: Oh and there it is John the Skull Crushing Finale hits James Storm like a sack of wet cement.



JBL: Miz helping Morrison to pin Bobby Roode, this is why I was rooting for them in the first place Booker, look how dominant they are, Miz and Morrison take their opportunities and make guys like Beer Money look like jokes.


Booker T: Miz gettin' the ref makin' it look like he missed a fair match, man this is just disgusting.
JBL: It's not disgusting, it's strategy and it's beautiful!

Ref: 1,2,3!!!

Booker T: Man it's over, I gotta say minus that nasty act on Beer Money they put on a damn good match.

JBL: Man I told you guys like Storm & Roode didn't stand a chance against the likes of Miz & Morrison!



Booker T: Man you didn't tell me jack squat, of course you gonna be right when you always change your bet to the winnin' team.

JBL we'll be right back with the action after this folks don't go away we've got more 3XW action coming your way.

[Max]

Booker T: Here's Raven comin' in for our next match, a hardcore triple threat for the International championship!

JBL: Raven's one hardcore SOB Booker, I wouldn't wanna be in the ring with him when it comes to these kinda matches, they're his freakin' playground!

Booker T: Raven's a pretty damned decorated wrestler JBL, 4 time ECW tag team champion, 1 time NWA heavyweight champion, former WCW United States, World Tag Team and Light Heavyweight champion and even a 26 time WWE Hardcore champion, you're right John, this is his playground!

JBL: Speaking of decorated Booker here's our next competitor Rey Mysterio, and as long as we're talkin' past titles let's count his! A 5 time WCW cruiserweight champion, he was once WCW's cruiserweight tag champion alongside Billy Kidman and a 3 time world tag team champion for WCW, and let's not forget his numerous title wins in the WWE, he's been the WWE champion, a 2 time Heavyweight champion, 2 time intercontinental champion, 4 time tag team champion, and even the 2006 Royal Rumble winner.


Booker T: Dang man, that was a mouth full, try catchin' your breath.

JBL: but wait Booker there's still one more great accomplishment by Mysterio! That's me kickin' his ass a few times in the ring!

Booker T: Man you're a real pain in the neck you know that?

JBL: Well here's a man with even history then Raven and Mysterio, it's Rob Van Dam, this man has my vote for winner that Van Daminator of his is a real show stopper!

Booker T: Man I know I told you to stop but this guys got a track record I can't resist readin'... former ECW TV Champion, 2 time tag team champion, He's been TNA world champion and X Division champion and when it comes to WWE the WWE champion, ECW champion, 6 time intercontinental champion, 4 time hardcore champion, European champion, 2 time World tag team champion which one time was with yours truly and WWE tag team champion alongside that man in the ring right there Rey Mysterio!

JBL: And Steve Stallone returns to the ring as the match is awaiting its start!

Booker T: Bell rings and decisions gotta be made on who's goin' after who!

JBL: The obvious decision is made there as RVD and his former tag team partner Rey Mysterio kick Raven in the gut simultaneously!

Booker T: Van Dam's got 'em with that headlock.


JBL: And Raven lifts him up and hits him with an atomic drop!


Booker T: Rob Van Dam may be out but that aint stoppin' Rey from takin' that drop kick to Raven!





JBL: Van Dam hits Mysterio with that Hurricanrana as Raven exits the ring possibly to catch a break.


Booker T: Man that aint no breath John that's a freakin' barbed wire board Raven's got there in his hands!


JBL: RVD runs off the back of Mysterio to be caught by Raven mid air.

Booker T: Raven tosses Van Dam on that Barbed wire board!


JBL: Mysterio steps off the knee with a beautiful kick to Raven once again putting Rey at the top of the match being the only man standing.


Booker T: looks like Mysterio's got his former partner by the hair here.


JBL: Mysterio tosses the whole F'n show outta the ring here, I think you can already guess who's side I'm taking tonight Booker.


Booker T: He aint gonna do what I think he's gonna do is he?!


JBL: My god what an amazing springboard moonsault by Rey Mysterio, that's it just hand him the international title now!


Booker T: How about you hold your horses there John, Raven's got that steel chair I think he's in trouble here.


JBL: Oh man Rey better look out here!

Booker T: Man what a chair shot to the head of Rey Mysterio!

Booker T: wait a second... where's Raven going John?

JBL: He must've left the oven on at home, that's it can we give Mysterio the belt now?




Booker T: The action heads back to the ring with Rob Van Dam followed by Rey Mysterio, I guess that's it for Raven, I guess he's quit.



JBL: Submission locked in on Mysterio this could be it! Get the title ready for Van Dam Steve!


Booker T: What in the hell! It's Raven he's back!
JBL: And with a shopping cart of toys! maybe let's not give RVD the belt just yet!



Booker T: Rey breaks that hold and Van Dam winds up in the corner!

JBL: Raven's setting up some craziness outside the ring here, I'm prepared for destruction now Booker!

Booker T: Speakin' of destruction Mysterio just missed a drop kick on Rob and hit that corner pretty hard just now.



JBL: Nice German suplex from the corner there by RVD, I can't tell who I think's gonna win here Booker, there's too many options!

Booker T: Good! Man I'm sick of hearin' you blabber about who you want doin' what, if anybody cared what you wanted John you'd be the damn General Manager not Ted Dibiase!


JBL: whatever Booker the important thing here is my salary's good here.

Booker T: Man did you see that Pele smack Rob Van Dam across the face!

JBL: Raven's got the cart in the ring along with all the other weapons!


Booker T: Man he's ridin' that thing like a skateboard John! Van Dam's gonna be in a lotta pain if he can't dodge this one!

JBL: Crash and burn Raven just crushed Van Dam with that cart!

Booker T: Ooh! And it looks like Mysterio's got revenge for that chairshot earlier on Raven!


JBL: Mysterio's setting up for the 619 Booker! I've dealt with this one before, Raven's about to get hurt!


Booker T: I don't think so John, Rob just pushed over that cart tripping Mysterio face first!


JBL: What's he setting up for here Booker?

Booker T: I don't know man but whatever it is it looks dangerous!

JBL: Incredible German suplex onto those 2 steel chairs! One can only imagine how painful that was to Raven!


Booker T: Van Dam goes for a springboard as Mysterio hits Raven with that leg drop, RVD's in for a rude awakening John!


JBL: A rude awakening indeed Booker! RVD's gut hit those chairs like a piano from the sky on a cartoon character!

Booker T: He's got a speed limit sign! He's about to slow down that run of Rey's!

JBL: Man did that one echo around the arena or what Booker!


Booker T: Looks like the suffering's not over for Rey yet JBL!

JBL: Looking for that powerbomb on Rey but I suggest Raven gets the hell outta dodge of that chair!

Booker T: Successful powerbomb but Raven suffered a hard chair shot from Rob Van Dam there!




JBL: My god! Van Dam with that sling shot 5 star frog splash on Rey through the wooden plank!


Booker T: Hard punch their by Raven, I think he might've unhinged Rob's jaw there with that one.


JBL: The action heads back to the ring here after that hard shot to Van Dam's jaw.



Booker T: Real impressive DDT into the chair there by Raven, and here's the cover!

Ref: 1,2,3!



JBL: That's it Raven wins the International championship! What a grueling hardcore match!

[Max]

Booker T: And here's the second and last of the 1st round of the tag team championship tournament, I think I'm feelin' a new addiction, in title involved matches I say we talk about title history what do you say John?

JBL: I say the Hardy Boyz are 2 bad MFers Booker, Jeff's a 3 time TNA world champion, 2 time World Heavyweight champion, once a WWE champion, a one time European champion and 3 time Hardcore champion, at one point a light heavyweight champion and alongside his brother Matt Hardy a 6 time world tag team champion!

Booker T: Let's not forget Matt Hardy there John, Matt's been the ECW champion back in the WWE, the European champion, a Harcore Champion, a cruiserweight champion a WWE Tag team champion and United States champion, these 2 have got more title history then I can freakin' count JBL!

JBL: And here comes Team 3-D, these 2 also have a very colorful past with tag team gold Booker, Brother's Ray and Devon are 2 bad dudes, 8 time ECW world tag team champions, 2 time TNA world tag team champions, 8 time World tag team champions and even WWE tag team champions.

Booker T: And lets not forget their singles accomplishments JBL. Ray is a 2 time TNA heavyweight champion, and 10 time Hardcore champion, Devon's been the TNA Television champion these 2 suckas are the real deal in the tag team department!

JBL: Let's also not forget this isn't the first time these 2 teams have met in competition Booker, they've had multiple hardcore encounters and while tonights tag match isn't hardcore we already can feel the aggressive tension flowing through the air.

Booker T: Man it's not even possible to predict who's going to win here tonight these teams have gone back and forth on a roller coaster of extreme matches against one another.

JBL: My buddy Steve Stallone now entering the ring

Booker T: Man he aint your friend this is the first time you ever seen this guy tonight John, you've known his name for an hour!

JBL: Yeah keep talkin' Booker, I'll hit you twice as hard as Devon just jawed Jeff Hardy!



Booker T: Hardy dodges that clothesline and has Devon by the foot now



JBL: Oh! Jeff Hardy with a leg drop to the calf of Brother Devon!


Booker T: Jeff Hardy's at the top of his game JBL but I still gotta gut feelin' Devon can come back from this one!




JBL: Looks like you were right Booker, Hardy came at Devon full speed and now he's stuck in that fireman's carry as Devon makes the tag to Bubba Ray!


Booker T: Devon hits Jeff Hardy with a waste land as Brother Ray gets up on the top rope there, this could be dangerous!

JBL: Here it comes! Diving head butt!


Booker T: Ooh, face first to the mat, Hardy got outta the way right on time there!



JBL: Hardy just drop kicked Ray into the corner.




Booker T: Hardy with that impressive corner swung dropkick.


JBL: Brother Ray's down, Jeff makes the tag to older brother Matt Hardy! Looks like Matt's in this now!






Booker T: Matt Hardy goes for the kick but Ray reverses with a kick of his own and slaps Matt with the DDT, these suckas are really goin' at it tonight John!

JBL: Of course they are Booker, there's titles on the line here!



Booker T: Hardy's head hits the turnbuckle and Brother Ray makes the tag!

JBL: I think we all know what's gonna happen next Booker! The Dudley Death Drop!


Booker T: Wo man did Jeff intervene there with that drop kick to the back of Brother Ray!

JBL: Younger brother Jeff Hardy trips Devon into the clutches of Matt Hardy!



Booker T: And Matt Hardy smashes Devon with that twist of fate!





JBL: Jeff gets the tag and hits Devon with a swanton!

Booker T: There's that cover by Jeff Hardy!
Ref: 1,2,3!

JBL: It's over Booker! the Hardy Boyz go on to the finals to face The Miz & John Morrison to become the first ever 3xw tag team champions!

Booker T: and man oh man does Brother Ray look furious about that loss, he was so sure that they were finish that one off and move on to the final round man.

[Max]

JBL: Here comes the first contestant of the world title tournaments first match the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, a 3 time WWE champion, once a world heavyweight champion, former European champion, 3 time intercontinental champion, a 5 time world tag team champion, a WWE tag team champion and even a 2 time Royal Rumble winner, Shawn Michaels is a hard man to beat I feel bad for whoever's about to face him!

Booker T: Let's not forget here JBL, this is the 3XW world title only main eventers are gonna be competing in this one, which means Michaels is facing someone on his skill level, that means it could be someone like the Undertaker, Triple H or even Brock Lesnar!

JBL: Whatever you say Booker but I've faced the man myself and to my surprise lost, he's one tough SOB.

Booker T: See I told you Shawn's gonna get a run for his money, that's the Texas Rattle Snake Stone Cold Steve Austin right there baby and he's one badass MF if you ask me!

JBL: Ask you? Ask the whole damn locker room! Hell ask the world, Stone Cold is the embodiment of badass Booker! 2 time United States champion for WCW, 2 time WCW TV champ, a WCW tag team champion, 6 time WWE champion, 2 time Intercontinental champion, 4 time WWE tag team champion once alongside the man in that very ring he's going to be facing Shawn Michaels, and a 3 time Royal Rumble winner!

Booker T: These 2 are no strangers in the ring John, I hope your ready, cause I think the 3XW arena's about to explode.

JBL: Steve Stallone back in the ring to ref this amazing matchup between the Texas Rattlesnake and the Heartbreak Kid!

Booker T: Man the tension here in this arena's so thick you could cut it with a knife JBL these 2 colossal wrestlers are really about to mangle the crap outta eachother I'll tell you that much!


JBL: Bell rings and an immediate tie up and Michaels eats a fist from Steve Austin!





Booker T: Michaels blocks that last punch takes to the ropes and hits Austin with a cross body and hops to his feet!

JBL: Michaels made a bad choice in approaching Austin there Booker, Stone Cold just elbowed the hell outta HBK's gut!


Booker T: Damn! Sucka got slammed into the corner with no mercy there!

JBL: Shawn being reintroduced to the mudhole stomps of Stone Cold


Booker T: Oh man Michaels dodged that boot, you can just feel the pressure of impact there go through the knee of Stone Cold




JBL: Michaels takes advantage of the damaged leg and locks in the figure 4 leg lock! Steve Austin might just have to tap out here!

Booker T: Stone Cold's got the rope break and the match goes on!



JBL: Oh my god Stone Cold Stunner can he do it!?



Booker T: Michaels pushes Austin off him and misses that sweet chin music!


JBL: The aim in this ring is more than amiss Booker T, Stone Cold missed that clothesline on HBK big time!



Booker T: Michaels hits 'em with a neckbreaker it's about time one of these suckas landed a hit!





JBL: My god! Michaels gets to the top rope and misses that elbow drop big time! He might have done some damage to that arm of his doing that!



Booker T: this match is swingin' like pendulum John, right now Stone Cold's got the swing as he sets up Michaels for a powerbomb!


JBL: Looks like the pendulums swung back to Michaels as he swings out of the hold to get Stone Cold in a headlock!


Booker T: HBK shoved off Austin into the ropes






JBL: HOLY SH*T!!! Booker T did you see that he tossed Michaels in the air and hit him with a stunner upon impact! That was insane!!

Ref: 1,2,3!!

Booker T: It's over! Stone Cold is the first to advance to the next round of the 3XW world title tournament!!

JBL: Uh oh Michaels is back up!

Booker T: Looks like it wasn't what you thought it was JBL.


JBL: Man what a way to kick off our World title tournament here in the 3XW! Don't go away just yet folks, the main event is up next!

[Max]

Booker T: Man there he is it's the Main event match 2 of the World title tournament! Bret Hart! The Best there was the best there is and the best there ever will be John! 4 time United States champion for WCW, 2 time WCW heavyweight champion, WCW world tag team champion, a WWE US champion, a 5 time WWE champion, 2 time Intercontinental champion, 2 time WWE tag team champion and a Royal Rumble winner, Hart really is the best John!

JBL: Looks like we found Hart's opponent tonight Booker! Kurt Angle! Another superstar to be arguably the best in the business!


Booker T: Man Angle's just bein' ruthless here, I've teamed with him in the past JBL I know Bret Hart can't be enjoying being the target of Angle's attack!

JBL: Looks like Angle's targeting that right leg, it's this kind of viciousness that makes Angle such a great leader Booker T.



Booker T: Man this is a pretty grimy way to gettin' to the top Kurt, that's pretty damned shameful!




JBL: Bret's leg's gonna get destroyed if Angle keeps targeting it like that my god!


Booker T: I saw him slide Bret into the ring and thought the mayhem was finally over but man was I wrong!



JBL: Just when you think it's over Angle wraps that leg around the turnbuckle and pulls on it like tug of freakin' war! The bell hasn't even rung yet Booker!



Booker T: Angle drags Bret to the middle of the ring as Steve Stallone comes in, this match is officially underway but Bret's gotta major handicap now JBL.




JBL: Angle tries for the Ankle lock Bret Hart manages to twist and kick Kurt Angle in the head!


Booker T: Oh boy Bret's just barely standin' on that leg.



JBL: Angle's gonna try and make him tap with his own finishing move! The sharp shooter's locked in!


Booker T: Bret managed to survive that but Kurt's still got that unfair advantage.

Ref: He tapped! Ring the bell!
JBL: Oh god! Did you hear that pop? Bret Hart taps out! I think Angle just broke Bret's ankle!

Booker T: Man how could you celebrate a ruthless sucker punch attack like that?



JBL: Looks like the brutality isn't over yet Booker! Angle just hit him with the Angle Slam!


Booker T: Are you kidding me! He just punched out our ref!



JBL: Oh man Bret's getting tossed like a rag doll out here, someone needs to stop this!

Booker T: Wasn't this bad enough? Angle's bringing in a weapon now!?



JBL: I wouldn't do this to my worst enemy Booker! That chair shot was ridiculous!


Booker T: God this is just disgusting John, Bret's ankles probably already broke, my leg hurts just seeing this!

JBL: Is that it? Is this the end of the Hitman? We're out of time for tonight folks find out the aftermath of this mayhem on the next episode of 3XW!
