We hear soft, but epic strings playing slowly. The following quote wipes across the screen in the cracked gold Legacy script.

Entourage {Dawson & James} vs HgH {Kirk & Shepard}

Alan Ducard: Our show gets started this evening with a tag match between two of the newest pairings to join LEGACY as two members of the Entourage squares off against the team known as H.g.H.

Start of Match Footage

The shot goes to the ring, where we see a Tag Team Match already in progress...

Josephina Colbert: Here are your winners by pinfall... Matthew Dawson and John James of THE ENTOURAGE!

Alan Ducard: Entourage just beat HgH thanks to the interference of Elena Pisk and the dirty tactics of Entourage!

Alan Ducard: I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities to watch these two teams go head to head against one another.

LEGACY X Preview No Limits Championship Match

A dark feed, grainy, with the occasional burst of white noise is all we see. Saliva’s “Famous Monsters” suddenly kicks in, the haunting melodies and guitar riffs adding an unsettling quality to this piece.

Alan Ducard: Sunday night's pay per view event is set to begin with an exciting contest, as John Thomas and Crazy Boy are booked to get things started in a No Limits style match.

Jimmy Yates: Things between John Thomas and Crazy Boy got physical backstage at SuperCard STRIFE 42. While Greyson Blade was getting jumped and triple-teamed by The Diabolik in the ring, Crazy Boy saw what was going on and tried to come to his aid, but John Thomas got in the way.

Bryan Harris: Let's tell it like it happened, Jimbo. Crazy Boy was running around backstage, he knocked Anastasia Ewing down, and he was rude when John Thomas asked him to apologize. Furthermore, people get so angry at John Thomas, but Crazy Boy was trying to help a friend, and John Thomas wasn't doing anything different than that.

Alan Ducard: When Crazy Boy tried to run off to the ring, John Thomas not only detained him, but he did so by using that reverse falling neckbreaker he's come to be known for.

Jimmy Yates: It should've surprised no one at STRIFE 43 when Crazy Boy rushed the ring to get his hands on John Thomas, but like a coward, John ran from the situation instead of staying to fight.

Bryan Harris: Whoa, you shouldn't be calling people cowards.

Jimmy Yates: I didn't call John a coward, I said he ran away LIKE a coward, Bry. LIKE.

Alan Ducard: Well in less than 48 hours when those two get into the ring, neither will be able to run, because in a No Limits match, falls can count anywhere. With the talent level both of these young competitors brings to the ring, it should certainly be a great contest.

Chris Turner & Laura Seton vs Frank Garvin & Benny Jackson

Alan Ducard: As we mentioned earlier, our next match should be a brutal contest as we get a tag match pitting long-time friends Chris Turner and Laura Seton against Frank Garvin and his long-time “friend” Benny Jackson.

Start of Match Footage

Chris Turner is in the ring with Ben Jackson. The two men circle one another. In Turner’s corner Laura Seton looks anxious, even antsy. In Benny’s corner Frank Garvin can be seen with a slight smile, his eyes not moving from Laura. In the ring, Turner steps forward and swings a big fist wildly with a clubbing blow that strikes down on Ben Jackson like a hammer. Turner follows up by swinging wildly with his left, striking Jackson in the shoulder and knocking him down to one knee. But Benny is right back up, and manages to duck a stiff clothesline.

Josephina Colbert: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, CHRIS TURNER AND LAURA SETON!!!

Laura runs to a turnbuckle, raising her hands in victory as the crowd continues to cheer for the hometown heroine.

Alan Ducard: The hometown girl makes good, and you have to feel great for her and how this match turned out.

Bryan Harris: If you care about local fans getting something enjoyable out of a match simply because one of the competitors attended a nearby college, then yeah, I guess you might be happy about the outcome... but here we go, this is what I think we've all been waiting to see.

Frank Garvin gets into the ring, glaring at Laura Seton, but as he starts to walk in her direction, Garvin is stopped as Benny Jackson gets up off the mat and gets in his way. Laura and Turner exit the ring without giving their opponents another thought and head back up the ramp.

Jimmy Yates: Also set to take place at LEGACY X is a match between Stephen Rawlings and Cronos Diamante, a match whose origins go back to our last pay per view.

Alan Ducard: Back at DESTINED FOR GREATNESS 2008, they encountered one another backstage, and Stephen Rawlings showed a fair amount of disrespect for Cronos Diamante, saying that he didn't know who he was despite the fact that they've both been a part of LEGACY since its first pay per view event.

Bryan Harris: That's right, and the "hurt feelings" of Cronos Diamante didn't end there, as he and Stephen Rawlings were pared up to face The Diabolik at SuperCard STRIFE 42, and Cronos got all bent out of shape just because Stephen Rawlings didn't trust him enough to tag him into the match, something Cronos took into his own hands by tagging himself into the match, which lead to The Diabolik being able to pick up the win.

Jimmy Yates: That's leaving out some of the information, but needless to say Cronos Diamante wasn't too happy about getting defeated by The Diabolik, and he had words for Stephen Rawlings about it, and that's leading to the match coming up on Sunday.

Alan Ducard: They've both held championships in LEGACY, and you'd have to think that whomever wins this match is soon to be in line for another opportunity for gold.

The crowd roars, for something we can't see and moments later, Loco Martinez is seen hopping the barricade. He rolls into the ring, and calls for a microphone. Moments later he is handed one, the crowd beginning a strong "Lets go Lo-Co" chant.

Loco Martinez: I needed to come out here and get something off my chest. X has been running his mouth. *mixed reaction* - Building himself up like his tenure and his Tao of Valor reign was something superior to MY World Title reign. That somehow that I "skated" by, or some such bullsh-mularkey. All the while pushing HIS Tao of Valor reign like it was something amazingly worthwhile, and like he struggled. When half the names he's listed as "accomplishments" have washed out of Legacy. So I just wanted to tell X that people who reside in Glass Houses shouldn't shoot.

Loco gives a sly wink.

Loco Martinez: He can bash on my reign till the cows come home, but bottom line is I defended against former champions, legends, hall of famers, and even the late great Ray Willmott, whom my opponent intimated may have "owned me"... and I continued to come out on top. And at Legacy X... I will once again come out on top, and retake MY throne. MY TITLE. and I will once again be YOUR World Heavyweight Champion!

Another loud, but mixed reaction, which just gets louder and continues to be just as mixed as "Harvester of Sorrow" blasts through the arena. A visibly annoyed X-Calibur stomps toward the ring. He rolls in to the ring and is also handed a mic. A loud "X-Cal" chant starts to go up, and is matched with an equally as loud "LO-CO" chant. The two lock in an intense stare down letting the crowd reaction wash over them... as it grows. Loco smirks and shakes his head.

Loco Martinez: You CAN'T ever let anyone get the last word, can you?

X-Calibur: Who says I’m out here for “words”? *mixed reaction* You want to jump barricades cause you’re all pent up with frustration from the things I’ve said? That’s fine. It’s a little funny, actually. But still... I’ve said everything I’ve needed to say, and then some.

X smirks. Some “X-Cal” chants. Some booing. Everyone’s eyes are glued to both men, waiting for the explosion to happen. Loco leans in towards X

Loco Martinez: Well then, since you ARE out here.... I might as well give you a message.

Loco actually leans in to the Legacy World Title and addresses it INSTEAD of X in a sing song familiar line from old school days of Loco Martinez.

Loco Martinez: One..... Two... Loco's comin' for YOU.

The crowd roars and X-Calibur gives a knowing smirk. Loco then brings his eyes back to X.

Loco Martinez: Oh and I didn't forget YOU.

SSSSMMMMMAAAAAAACKKKKKKK

“OOOOOOOOoooooooooohhhh!”

Loco smiles cockily after delivering a violent slap. X stares him down, pure "I'm gonna kill your ass" death stare. X pulls the mic to his lips, but quickly snaps it down and runs taking Loco down with a double leg take down. The crowd becomes unhinged!

Alan Ducard: Blimey! Things are getting out of hand. Someone better break this fracas UP!

Bryan Harris: Psht! Let 'em fight!!

X begins driving stiff right hands into Loco's forehead. Loco rolls and is now in a full mount and is reigning frantic rights and lefts into the champ's skull. The crowd begins to boo mercilessly as four referees pour from the back and hit the ring. X regains the advantage driving his right hand into Loco's face before being ripped off Loco by all four referees. They back X up into the corner. The crowd roaring deafeningly, they get organized and begin a:

"LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!" chant.

Loco gets up and wipes a little blood from a freshly busted lip, and launches into the four referees to get at X. He throws wild over hand rights as X gets his right hand free and answers both men answering punch for punch. 2 referees push Loco back. 2 referees push X back. The two men jawjacking across the ring. One of the referee's pushes Loco a little too hard and Loco snaps and levels the ref with a right hand. X watches amused, and decides to answer, leveling a referee with a nasty right hand of his own. Loco grabs the second referee...

Locapitator!!!!

X grabs HIS second referee....

X-Terminator!!!

Jimmy Yates: That's gonna be some heavy fine-age, right there.

Bryan Harris: One - They can afford it. Two - they don't care.

The two smile and nod at one another as they begin to circle running their mouths at one another.... They lunge, grabbing the collar of their respective opponent's shirt, and drive wild rights into one another.

Alan Ducard: This is like a hockey brawl!

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

Alan Ducard: Thank goodness. Here comes the cavalry!

A majority of the lockerroom empties from the back. We see Domination, Anarchy, Moxley, Justin Moreno, HgH, Smith Cartwright, Intern Avery, and even Robert Belote himself pour from the back and get into the ring. They separate the two men. Moxley and Anarchy push Loco back. Domination and Moreno head off X. Between them the rest of the posse stands keeping the two men from one another. Rob Belote grabs a mic looking none too pleased.

Rob Belote: That. IS. ENOUGH!

The tension is still very high in the ring, but Rob continues.

Rob Belote: For the past decade, the three of us have been together enough that BOTH of you should know me well enough to know that what just happened here?! UNACCEPTABLE! Touch my referees?! You can guarantee that the fines are going to be waiting for you when you wake up tomorrow morning, we just have to figure out how much exactly you’re going to owe!

Rob shakes his head, hardly believing the current situation.

Rob Belote: I thought the two of you were going to be able to go into LEGACY X and have a spirited yet RESPECTFUL match at the landmark TENTH pay per view in LEGACY’s history, but clearly I was wrong. Loco? Get with John Thomas and ANARCHY and go back to your hotel! X-Calibur? Take that belt and go back to your hotel! And until the two of you are back in this ring with the belt on the line, I don’t want to hear that you two so much as ran into each other at a restaurant, and if you think that’s an idle threat?! TRY ME. I’ve got another match on the card on Sunday night that could EASILY be elevated to fight for a VACATED World Title, or I could just as easily take the match you two are planning to have and make it a four-way.

Neither X-Calibur nor Loco Martinez seem happy with either of those ideas from the looks on their faces.

Rob Belote: Shape up, or I’m going to make it harder on BOTH of you to achieve your goal of walking out of LEGACY X with the top championship belt in the world – the LEGACY World Championship.

Out of complete disgust, Rob Belote takes the microphone he was just using and throws it down and heads off backstage.

Jimmy Yates: Tonight, eight competitors get the opportunity to show the fans, the rest of the locker room, and everybody else what they’re capable of, and unlike at previous events, tonight’s contest will see two falls scored.

Bryan Harris: The chaos in these matches is typically high, everyone scrapping for a single pinfall or submission. With the change in rules for tonight’s TWO FALL Showcase, that makes things more interesting, and I can keep watch on the real talents in this match, instead of trying to keep my head constantly moving to spot a potential end to the match.

Alan Ducard: We have plenty of talented individuals signed up to compete in this Showcase. Whether they’re new to LEGACY like Ethan Leers, NC-17, or CBP… or whether they’re trying to make a big comeback in LEGACY and get back on the contendership map like Herb Moxley, Allen Franks, or Tim Jones… or whether they’re looking to make their first real impact on LEGACY like Mostafa Bashir or Jimmy Smith… everyone’s got a reason to want to come away with part of a victory in this match.

Jimmy Yates: With so many guys in this match and two falls to the finish, we could talk for a while about all the different competitors involved, but I think we’d rather just get you to the action.

Bryan Harris: With your analysis skills, Jimbo, we’d definitely be better off watching these guys fight instead of hearing your thoughts on things.

Alan Ducard: The Ladies Man with a quality side suplex on Allen Franks.

Bryan Harris: And it all came about because Allen Franks couldn’t keep his head on a swivel. He got too focused on NC-17, and he paid for it.

Jimmy Yates: That is one of the dangers of big matches like this.

Alan Ducard: Allen Franks needs to draw on his tag team experience if he’s going to be able to avoid the double teams and blindsides in this match.

When Tim Jones gets back to his feet, he turns around and spots Mostafa Bashir coming towards him. Tim fires in with a hard right hand, then another. Before he can land a third, Tim Jones is drilled with a headbutt, staggering him backwards. A second headbutt, this time to the chest, backs Tim into the corner. Taking him by the arm, Mostafa Bashir pulls Jones in, lifts him up off the mat into a bearhug.

Jimmy Yates: Those headbutts and bearhugs from Bashir are decimating!

Bryan Harris: Unfortunately for him, those are his only two moves.

Alan Ducard: I dunno, from the time he’s spending with Ron Bailey, he’s probably increasing his skills.

Trying to break free of the hold, Tim Jones fires in with a right forearm, connecting to the side of Mostafa’s head. Reaching back, Tim Jones hits a second one, but still Mostafa doesn’t let go. Sticking his thumb in the side of Bashir’s mouth, Tim rips to the side. Considering his options, Mostafa charges forwards and drives Jones’ back into the top turnbuckle, causing him to stiffen up in pain. Bashir then twists around and whips Jones towards the middle of the ring.

Jimmy Yates: Well it wasn’t a pretty suplex…

Alan Ducard: I always say, execution of a maneuver doesn’t always matter, it’s the impact of a move that matters, and you can ask Tim Jones later tonight, I’ll wager that he didn’t care if that throw / suplex wasn’t “pretty”.

Pulling himself up off the mat after taking a short breather on the mat, Allen Franks gets spun around by NC-17 and rocked in the jaw with a hard left, then a right. Taking a step forward, NC-17 grabs around Allen’s neck with both arms, leaps backwards and drops to the mat, pulling Franks with him.

Bryan Harris: Sit-out facebuster!

Alan Ducard: And with style!

NC-17 follows up the move with a backwards roll. On the other side of the ring, Ethan Leers reaches around the side of Mostafa’s face, grabs him by the eyes and pulls back. Mostafa ducks a shoulder and pivots around. NC-17 puts one hand on the back of Bashir’s head, pulls him in and drives a forearm shot into Mostafa’s throat. As Bashir coughs, NC-17 connects with a haymaker to the side of Mostafa’s head.

Jimmy Yates: I think NC-17 found a weak spot on the head of The Beast from Kandahar!

Bryan Harris: What kind of a person hits somebody in the ear?!

Alan Ducard: It was an interesting choice of targets…

Bryan Harris: Actually I think it was awesome!

Apart from this action, CBP charges across the ring and rebounds off the ropes for some added momentum. Before he can head in the opposite direction, CBP gets tripped up from underneath the bottom rope by Jimmy Smith, causing Charles to fall on his face.

Jimmy Yates: Sneaky move by Big Jimmy, staying involved even though he’s hiding outside the ring.

Bryan Harris: Well this is a bad move on his part…

Sliding in under the bottom rope, Big Jimmy rejoins the action. Lifting CBP up off the mat by his head, Jimmy lifts him up and hits an inverted atomic drop, then takes a step back and kicks him in the gut, doubling him over. Grabbing CBP around the abdomen, Smith flips Penze up and over with a gutwrench suplex.

Getting to his feet, Big Jimmy raises his arms into the air with a cocky look on his face as he steps over the fallen body of CBP. Not happy with what he just saw, Herb Moxley takes Jimmy by the arm and spins him around. Smith is ready for it, and he hammers Moxley with a hard right hand, rocking him back. Before Herb can retaliate, he’s violently shoved away.

Jimmy Yates: Where did Ethan Leers come from?!

Bryan Harris: I don’t know, but he’s hammering on Jimmy Smith now!

Having connected with enough right hands, Ethan Leers has caused Jimmy Smith to stumble and fall over backwards, but that doesn’t stop Leers at all. With his rabid collection of followers excited at ringside, Leers gets to his feet and starts stomping down on Big Jimmy.

Alan Ducard: Look at the ferocity from Ethan!

Jimmy Yates: Moxley doesn’t seem happy about being pushed aside…

Spinning Ethan Leers around, Moxley ducks a hooking punch attempt by The Cult Leader, then drills him with one of his own. Reaching in, Herb grabs Ethan around the neck, then drops to the mat with a jawbreaker. Both men work their way up off the mat, but as Ethan is holding his chin, this gives Moxley an opportunity, so he grabs Leers by the wrist and twists around into a hammer lock. With his free arm, Moxley raises his hand and puts it into a “V” shape, a split between his middle finger and ring finger.

Herb Moxley: Live long… and PROSPER!!

Much to the enjoyment of the fans, Herb dives down, digging his hand into Ethan Leers’ neck with the Vulcan neck pinch, and immediately The Cult Leader begins writhing in pain.

Bryan Harris: This kid is off his rocker.

Alan Ducard: Maybe… but it’s appearing to work!

Moving in on The Beast from Kandahar, NC-17 kicks him in the back of the knee, grabbing Bashir’s attention. When Mostafa turns around, NC-17 jumps and drives his knee into Bashir’s gut, doubling him over, then grabs him into a side headlock. Wrenching it in, NC-17 begins to grind his knuckles across the top of Mostafa’s head.

Jimmy Yates: Is that… a noogie?!

Alan Ducard: A what?

With some of the fans laughing, NC-17 stops with the noogie and dives forwards, bringing Bashir down to the mat with a bulldog. As he stands up, NC-17 gyrates a little bit, but his dancing ends as he gets caught with a spinning heel kick from Allen Franks.

Jimmy Yates: The Montreal Kid making himself known!

Alan Ducard: He didn’t endear himself to part of the fans who appear to be quite entertained by NC-17’s antics, but it was a heads-up shot he took.

When Allen Franks gets up off the mat, Big Jimmy approaches him from behind, but before he can get to Franks, Jimmy is spun around by Charles Bryant Penze, who connects with a jumping European uppercut, knocking him down to the mat.

On the other side of the ring, Herb Moxley doesn’t notice as Tim Jones has positioned himself a few feet away, poised to strike. When Herb turns around, Jones takes a step forward and thrusts his leg upwards for the SNAFU…

Jimmy Yates: Moxley ducks!!

Tim Jones puts his foot back down on the mat, turns around to find Herb Moxley with his arms in bowed positions outstretched to the side, one knee in the air. Hopping up, Herb connects with a jumping kick with his right leg, which connects right to the jaw of Tim Jones, knocking him backwards.

Alan Ducard: Super Sweet Ninja Kick!

Bryan Harris: You get a little too excited for this dork.

Jimmy Yates: Tell that to all these fans!

Pretending to grab the handle of an imaginary sword in a non-existant sheath at his side, Herb hoists the imaginary sword into the air like He-Man, and in unison, a large portion of the fans in the arena yell out.

Crowd: DRAGON SLAYER!!!

Grabbing Tim Jones into a side headlock, Herb Moxley takes a couple quick steps towards the corner, steps up the turnbuckle, springs off the top rope and swings around to the side, dropping to the mat and pulling Tim Jones down with him. The fans continue their enthusiastic reaction as Herb Moxley reaches over and hooks the leg as Jacob Fudrucker slides into position.

ONE!!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Bryan Harris: With those two no longer a part of the match, it’ll be interesting to see who steps up and finds a way to win the next and final fall.

Jimmy Yates: I’ll go out on a limb and say I think it’ll be Allen Franks. The kid’s working hard and really looks like he’s trying to find a way to make an impact.

Bryan Harris: That’s a pretty slim limb, Jimbo. Good luck with that.

As the match continues, Big Jimmy drills Charles Bryant Penze with a right hand, then shoves him back into the corner, keeping him there with a kick to the gut. Before Jimmy can do anything further, Mostafa Bashir moves in and violently shoves him away, then drills CBP with an open-hand slap to the chest.

Alan Ducard: That was bizarre. It appeared as though Mostafa Bashir was coming to Charles’ aid, but that’s certainly not the case.

Jimmy Yates: I guess the big man just wanted to go at it with CBP all on his own.

Bryan Harris: You mean he doesn’t like a three-way?

Jimmy Yates: That’s not what I meant…

Before Jimmy Smith can move back in on Mostafa Bashir or CBP, he gets blindsided by NC-17, who comes right up to Jimmy and drills him in the side of the head with an enzuigiri. As Smith struggles to get up while holding his head, NC-17 grabs him by the arm, hooks Jimmy’s head under his arm, grabs Jimmy underneath one of his knees to get him into a fisherman’s position. After gyrating his hips, NC-17 lifts Jimmy up into the air and then drops down, slamming Jimmy’s head into the mat.

Bryan Harris: That fisherman’s brainbuster: rated NC-17!!

Alan Ducard: He holds on and bridges up, could we see the second pinfall…?

One..

Two…

NO!!

Allen Franks charges in and drills NC-17 in the exposed ribs with a low dropkick, moving him out of the way and breaking up the pinfall attempt.

Jimmy Yates: Another big impact on this match by Allen Franks!

Ethan Leers spots Allen Franks getting up off the mat and dives in, dropping him back to the mat with a double axhandle smash. With Allen Franks laying on his stomach, Ethan Leers drives his knee into Allen’s side, flipping him over onto his stomach, writing in pain. Seeing this all take place, CBP moves in and starts hitting Ethan Leers from behind, and the cheers roll in.

Bryan Harris: Why in the world are these fans getting excited about seeing Charles Bryant Penze attacking Ethan Leers?!

Jimmy Yates: Uh, could it have something to do with the fact that Ethan attacked CBP backstage a few weeks ago?

Alan Ducard: That would be my guess.

Trying to avoid further damage, Ethan Leers rolls to the side and exits the ring underneath the bottom rope. Allen Franks works to get to his feet and Big Jimmy Smith moves in and hits him with a knee to the jaw. CBP spins Jimmy around with a hard right hand, and then Smith retaliates with a right of his own. Allen Franks gets into the fray, rocking Jimmy back with a left. CBP keeps it going by connecting with another right on Big Jimmy. Smith reels, and Allen Franks takes him down with a double-leg tackle. Springing right back up to his feet, The Montreal Kid lifts up Jimmy’s legs, inter-twines his legs, and turns him over, locking in a sharpshooter submission.

Jimmy Yates: Yes! He could do it! Allen Franks might score one of the falls in this match!!

Alan Ducard: The other competitiors don’t seem to notice, but CBP actually looks to be standing guard!

Suddenly the lights go out in the arena.

Bryan Harris: What the…?

From all across the entrance stage, huge flames shoot upwards, each of the four measuring easily 8 feet in height. Along with the light from the flames, the only other light in the arena bowl is that of a red light shining down into the ring from above.

Alan Ducard: What’s going on here presently?

Jimmy Yates: I don’t know, but from what I can tell, Allen Franks looks intent on trying to win this match by submission with that sharpshooter, lights or no lights!

Bryan Harris: You think maybe this is Franks’ idea of a joke? Maybe he set this all up as a distraction?! You can’t trust Canadians, you know.

Through the flames walks a very large man, who heads straight for the ring.

Jimmy Yates: Wait a minute, is that... is that Fallen Angel?!

Bryan Harris: You’re right, Jimmy, that’s exactly who it is! Despite the long hair, I recognize him from those old TTW tapes I watched!

Fallen Angel gets right up onto the ring apron, enters the ring, and immediately kicks Allen Franks in the middle of the back, knocking him to the mat, causing him to release the sharpshooter. Without a bit of hesitation, Fallen Angel reaches down, grabs Allen Franks, lifts him up off the mat into the air with a two handed choke, turns, and tosses him over the top rope, throwing him to the outside.

Crowd: OOOOOHHHHHH!!

The lights turn back on and Jacob Fudrucker and Leonard Nolan begin yelling at Fallen Angel, who just glares at them with a sadistic look on his face.

Jimmy Yates: What the hell is he doing out here? What’s he doing in LEGACY in general?!

Bryan Harris: I’m guessing he’s one of the newest members of the roster, Jimbo! Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out!

Referee Ross Quattro runs out from the back, alongside road agent Carter Franklin and two other production crew members. Two of the men enter the ring and join referees Fudrucker and Nolan in yelling at Fallen Angel and keeping him away from the rest of the competitors. After looking over the top rope to the outside at Allen Franks laid out on the arena floor, Fallen Angel simply gets back out onto the apron, heads down to the arena floor and starts walking backwards up the ramp, escorted by Quattro, Franklin, and the two production crew members – none of whom want to get too close to him.

Jimmy Yates: That was CRAZY!! I still can’t believe what we just saw!

As CBP stands in awe of what just happened and his gaze is still on Fallen Angel walking backwards up the ramp, he doesn’t even spot it when Ethan Leers comes out of the corner and drills him with a right hand, followed up with a kick to the stomach. The Cult Leader immediately runs into the ropes, and on the rebound he hops up onto CBP’s back, grabs him by the arm, flips him over, landing on his own back with a modified back cracker.

Bryan Harris: That’s the Revolution Breaker!!

Alan Ducard: Leers is going for the pinfall…

ONE…

TWO…

THREE!

Alan Ducard: Eight men entered, and after the dust has settled, it's Herb Moxley and Ethan Leers who have done the best job of showcasing their talents by picking up falls in the LEGACY X "Show Me Showcase" match...

Bryan Harris: Yeah, but I'd say Fallen Angel did a damn good job at showing what he was capable of doing, and I'm sure Allen Franks would agree.

Jimmy Yates: When he's been on his game, Fallen Angel is certainly a tough competitor, I just wish he would've signed up to take place in the Showcase match as a legal contestant instead of showing up like he did here tonight.

Alan Ducard: Well regardless, Herb Moxley and Ethan Leers will probably find themselves with opportunities in the near future to prove themselves further with championship gold on the line, and they have this match to thank for it.

Jimmy Yates: They fought each other at STRIFE 43, they fought at STRIFE 39 before that, splitting those two matches with one win going to each team… and Mirage and Katsuro Yoshida were also part of a three-way match for the Tao of Valor Championship back at STRIFE 37.

Bryan Harris: The big X factor in this match is the status of Mirage’s ankle. We saw him tap out to a heel hook from Katsuro Yoshida at STRIFE 43, we’ve seen him on crutches, we’ve heard that he’s injured… but with a couple weeks to heal up, will Mirage be able to get into the ring here tonight?

Alan Ducard: If his injury was legitimate and this isn’t something of a ruse, then no, I don’t believe Mirage has what it takes to get into the ring without damaging the chances of his team to win the match.

Jimmy Yates: Mirage might be the only one who truly knows what’s going on with his wheel, and whatever the extent of his injury, it didn’t stop him from hitting Katsuro Yoshida with his crutch at STRIFE 44 and throwing the challenge out there, so you can bet that the Worldwide Bushido Buntai are going into this match assuming that Mirage is not injured.

Bryan Harris: Mirage has proven himself over and over as one of THE smartest guys in the business, and I don’t know what he has planned, but I wouldn’t bet against his team here tonight.

Jimmy Yates: Well then, let’s get to the footage and see what’s in store.

Alan Ducard: Such durability and strength displayed by the monster Lucien Gray, although you have to wonder how long he can hold up if Mirage isn’t able to get into the ring.

Jimmy Yates: Well he hasn’t been in this match thus far, and I guess we’ll see what he’s able to do.

Katsuro again moves in on the monster, this time getting close enough that Lucien tries to lock up with him. Yoshida ducks to the side of the grab and shoots in with a roundhouse to the gut, stunning Lucien momentarily. Running full steam into the ropes, Katsuro Yoshida rebounds off with some momentum as Gray turns around, and the Bushido Buntai member drills Lucien with a dropkick, staggering him back a few steps. Reaching over, Katsuro Yoshida tags Kevin Oppenheimer into the match. The Brit looks eager to get involved again and he springs up and hops over the top rope, then quickly attacks with a kick to the leg of the big man.

Bryan Harris: Kevin Oppenheimer going with a questionable strategy now, keeping things in close with the monster, now peppering him with rights and lefts… Consider Kevin a good striker if you want to, but he’s only doing so much to Lucien with those shots.

Alan Ducard: Gray’s a very thick guy, and you’re right, each of those punches might not be doing a significant amount of damage, but the cumulative effect could work out for the World Wide Bushido Buntai.

Blocking one of the punches, Lucien Gray takes Oppenheimer by the arm and irish whips him into the ropes, and on the return Kevin is met by the monster who throws his body into the Brit with a full body block attack, which flattens Oppenheimer to the mat. Dropping to a knee, Lucien Gray begins choking Kevin. Referee Klinton Porter moves in and begins reprimanding Lucien Gray, counting up to a disqualification.

One! Two! Three! Four!

Jimmy Yates: Lucien Gray doesn’t let himself get disqualified, but that’s definitely going to slow Kevin Oppenheimer down a bit.

Bryan Harris: Gray bringing things back up off the mat, let’s see what’s on the big man’s mind to do here.

Lifting Kevin up off the mat, Lucien Gray quickly whips the Brit across the ring, sending him right into the corner where Mirage is waiting. Not even trying to hide it, Mirage blatantly reaches over the ropes and starts choking Kevin Oppenheimer as Lucien Gray makes his way into the corner. Klinton Porter gets there first and admonishes Mirage, who then lets go of the chokehold and moves down the apron a bit. Klinton then turns around and tells Lucien to back up a bit. Mirage then charges down the apron and clotheslines Kevin Oppenheimer down to the mat, much to the chagrin of the fans in attendance.

Alan Ducard: Even from the apron, Mirage still has an effect on this match.

Bryan Harris: He’s a very crafty veteran, Alan, and he’s going to do whatever he can to help his team win.

As Lucien picks Kevin up off the mat, he again takes him by the wrist and sends Oppenheimer into the ropes, Yoshida reaches out and slaps him on the back, effectively tagging himself in as the legal man. As referee Klinton Porter signals Yoshida, Oppenheimer rebounds off the ropes and ducks a huge from Lucien, who spins around and watches as Oppenheimer suicide spears Mirage through the ring ropes to the outside, where both hit the steel barricade with a sprawling crash and massive impact. The crowd simply loses it. The grate that separates the crowd from the action is pushed back as the fans gather around the sprawled out Mirage and Oppenheimer. The fans in the surrounding area yell out a resounding "Holy sh*t", as referee Klinton Porter comes to the outside signaling to the back while checking on the competitors.

Alan Ducard: You don't see moves like that from guys the size of Oppenheimer everyday!

Jimmy Yates: Now that's ring awareness at it's best! Knowing he was tagged out Oppenheimer took a HUGE risk and takes Mirage out in the process. And he may have taken him out permanently!

Bryan Harris: You call that ring awareness?! He put all the fans at ringside, not to mention an already injured Mirage at risk.

Alan Ducard: That's the name of the game, Bryan!

With Mirage and Oppenheimer down on the outside, security arrives to assist Porter get the barricade moved back, Yoshida quietly enters the ring. While Lucien and everyone else in the arena are preoccupied looking down at Mirage and Oppenheimer, Yoshida bounces off the ropes and nails Lucien in the back of the knee with a running shoulder tackle. The big man falls, clutching his knee.

Alan Ducard: Yoshida from behind!

Jimmy Yates: Everyone else stopped fighting after witnessing the massive spear through the ropes, but Yoshida kept his head in the game, and it pays off big!

Immediately back to the action, Yoshida continues to pound down on Lucien's knee with thunderous stomps, keeping the big man off his feet. Bouncing off the ropes, Yoshida connects with a dropkick to the side of Lucien’s masked face and follows it with a falling headbutt to Lucien's spine. Keeping an eye on Oppenheimer and Mirage, who are still down, Yoshida climbs to the top rope as Lucien begins to rise...pushing himself off the mat onto one knee, Lucien slowly begins to stand as Yoshida comes down with a double axe handle, but Lucien grabs him by the throat! Slowly rising to his feet, Lucien applies pressure refusing to let go of Yoshida's throat. Yoshida fires punches trying to fend off the monster to no avail, as Lucien rises to both feet and grabs Yoshida by the back of his neck with the other hand and begins to choke him out. The crowd begins to chant "Yo-Shi-Da!" trying to spark him back to consciousness.

Crowd: "Yo-Shi-Da!!!"

Alan Ducard: Kick him low, Yoshida! Get out of there!

Crowd: "Yo-Shi-Da!!!"

Jimmy Yates: Alan!

Alan Ducard: Well the referee isn't there take advantage, do you think Mirage and Lucien wouldn't?!

As Mirage and Oppenheimer begin to stir on the outside, Klinton Porter moves them far enough in so he can help security put the barricade back in it's rightful spot. As Yoshida squirms trying to gasp air, his face turning red from being illegaly choked, the crowd suddenly roars as Osamu Hayashi comes charging down the isle toward the ring!

Jimmy Yates: It's Osamu Hayashi!!!

The crowd immediately begins chanting "O-Sa-MOOOOOOOOO!"

Bryan Harris: LUCIEN! TURN AROUND!!!

Alan Ducard: Stay out of the action and just call it straight, Bryan!

Jimmy Yates: Hayashi's gonna have to hurry here!

As Lucien lifts Yoshida into the air by the throat, Osamu jumps onto the ring apron, grabs the ropes and springs himself up onto the top turnbuckle. As the monster Lucien jumps up and slams Yoshida into the mat with a two handed chokeslam Osamu springs off the top rope and hits Yoshida with a flipping guillotine legdrop!

Jimmy Yates: NO!!! NO!! WHAT IN THE HELL! He hit Yoshida!

Osamu immediately jumps through the ropes to the outside looking in Oppenheimer's direction.

Alan Ducard: Osamu has apparently joined what Lucien earlier in the week called the agents of destiny.

As Klinton Porter gets back in the ring, he sees Lucien standing over a completely unconscious Yoshida, and Porter quickly slides in beside Katsuro and checks on him, then waves his hand in the air, grabbing Lucien and signaling for the bell. On the outside Osamu charges around ringside, jumps onto the ringside steps and dives into the crowd of security hitting Oppenheimer with a elbow shot, sending the big man back to the ground, not to mention a few of the security personnel.

Jimmy Yates: I just can't believe what I'm seeing right now. Osamu Hayashi aligning himself with the likes of Mirage and Lucien Gray.

Bryan Harris: Maybe people will respect him for the wrestler he is now.

Alan Ducard: For better or for worse, Osamu Hayashi has made his decision, and this certainly changes the landscape in the tag team division now that Mirage and Lucien Gray have a third member of their squad, and given the way Mirage likes to operate, that could be a huge factor in their future success.

Flash to another locker room. Greyson Blade slowly taping up his right fist. He rips off a piece of tape, and smooths it.

Flash to the last locker room. Crash is sitting staring intently at the locker in front of him.

Flash back to Del Carver's lockerroom he reaches to his right and grabs an eye patch. He pulls it on. We spin around to see it has the same striped pattern of the referee's shirt. He smirks and gives us a wink and the music of Godsmack's "Straight out of Line" erupts.

"There's no reason, there's no compromise
Change in seasons, living the high life"

We get a snapshot of Crash is seen sitting inside a hottub enjoying the company of a bevy of beautiful women.

"I don't know you so don't freak on me
I can't control you, you're not my destiny"

An old shot of Greyson Blade in an OPW ring with Del Carver. Carver handing him an "Outlaw" t-shirt.

"Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways"

Crash battling Greyson. A picture of Crash taking Greyson down with a wicked right hand.

"Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to lie to me"

Greyson leveling Crash with a clothesline.

"I'll confess this: you're my tragedy
I laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me"

A shot of Greyson planting Crash with the Shades of Grey spinebuster.

"Gone forever, banished the memories
this place of pleasure are masked by your misery"

Is replaced with a series of snapshots: Greyson missing the "Kill shot".

"Straight out of line"

Crash hoisting Greyson into position.

"I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways"

Driving him down with his Aero Zeppelin Driver

"Straight out of line

Three snapshots of the referee counting....1...2...3.

"I don't need a reason, you don't need to lie to me

Crash's hand being raised. Becomes a shot of Del Carver appearing on Legacy Vision Jumbotron.

"Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways"

"I don't need a reason, you don't need to

Crash dropping Greyson on his head again with the Aero Zeppelin Driver.

"Lie to me"

Back to Crash in his locker room.... becomes the negative of the same image.

"Lie to me"

Greyson in his locker room... again becomes the negative.

"Lie to me"

Del Carver in his locker room.... once more becomes the negative as the music fades out, and the screen goes to static.

Jimmy Yates: Ron Bailey was in a match that night when Eli Storm showed up, planted him on his head with the Ratings Boost that he’s come to be known for, and the only reason Eli did that was to send a message to Adam Davis, his opponent at the SuperCard.

Alan Ducard: Well Ron Bailey didn’t take kindly to being made an example of, and he made it clear at STRIFE 43 that he wanted a match against Eli Storm during the LEGACY X weekend, and the match got set.

Bryan Harris: Both of these guys are skilled, they’ve won matches and titles before, but as Smith Cartwright mentioned in the World of Wrestling Report, the opportunities are few and far between in LEGACY, and whoever wins this match will obviously get a chance to show what they can do in the future with gold on the line, but the loser just might find themselves picking up the pieces and trying to figure out where to go from there.

Jimmy Yates: We’re running short on time, so let’s just get to the match footage, getting you the fans one last step closer to the LEGACY X pay per view event.

Alan Ducard: Crikey, Storm's gonna break this young lad in half!

Bryan Harris: Eli Storm is really taking Ron Bailey to the wood-shed right now!

Jimmy Yates: While I'm not a fan of Ron Bailey, I hope he doesn't get himself crippled here.

Bailey finally reaches the ropes and Eli Storm continues to apply the hold as referee Don Bower lets Storm know he has until the count of five to break the hold.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Storm immediately lets go and screams at Bower "I had until five!" before laying in some stiff kicks on Bailey's back. Eli then picks up Ron Bailey and Irish Whips him into the ropes before connecting a
running knee strike into a Bulldog as he goes for the pin attempt.

Alan Ducard: Storm with the cover here...

One...

Two...

Bryan Harris: Dad-gum it, Ron Bailey kicked out!

Jimmy Yates: Did you have money on him to lose or something?

Bryan Harris: No, I just wanna see Eli Storm beat this smug little punk.

Storm climbs up top for the top rope Moonsault attempt, but Ron Bailey gets his knees up, knocking the wind out of Eli on impact. Bailey immediately gets up and delivers several consecutive knee strikes to
the chest before going for a Backdrop Driver, but on the way down, turning it into a modified version of a Georgia Bulldog.

Alan Ducard: Blimey, what an innovative maneuver there by Ron Bailey, but will it be enough?

One...

Two...

Bryan Harris: Ha ha! Eli Storm just kicked out of that one!

Jimmy Yates: I think Bailey needs to stop taunting the fans for a moment and focus on the task at hand here.

Ron Bailey taunts the fans momentarily before getting taken down by a Fujiwara Armbar from Eli Storm. Bailey slowly fights his way to the ropes before Storm drags him away from them again to execute a
Jujigatame this time. Bailey again slowly works his way to the ropes, but before he can get there, Eli lets him up and drapes his arm over the top rope, executing a modified arm-breaker as Bailey writhes in pain on the canvas.

Alan Ducard: Now it's Eli who's strutting like a bloody peacock right now.

Bryan Harris: Well, can you blame him? The guy just did an excellent job of working over Bailey's arm to try and possibly take The Sure Thing out of his offense because if Bailey can't use both arms for the Fireman's Carry part of the move, he won't be able to finish off Storm.

Jimmy Yates: This match has definitely been a fast-paced and hard-hitting affair for both men.

Storm slowly struts back in the ring oozing with confidence, only to blindly get caught by a one-arm DDT into a Triangle Choke, but Storm quickly gets a foot on the ropes before too much damage can be done.
Bailey then picks him in the Fireman's Carry position, but he can't hang on and drops to a knee, holding his shoulder in pain.

Alan Ducard: I hate to say it, but Bryan Harris was right about Eli attacking that shoulder.

Bryan Harris: I ought to record this moment as Alan Ducard finally admits I'm right on something!

Jimmy Yates: What about the other five thousand times you've been wrong?

Bryan Harris: Zip it, Jimbo! Let me have my moment!

Eli then stalks Bailey like a vulture before getting him in a pumphandle position and hitting a spinning sit-out pumphandle powerbomb as he hooks the leg for the pin attempt.

Alan Ducard: Storm with the cover!

One...

TWO...

THR...

Bryan Harris: No way! How did Bailey kick out of that?

Jimmy Yates: Certainly an incredible feat of strength by "The Incredible One", but not enough to end this match-up!

Eli Storm picks Bailey up for a bodyslam in a hammerlock position before going to the apron. Storm attempts a Tope Atomico, but Bailey's already up. Storms rolls through it to minimize the damage but gets
caught with a vicious Shining Wizard as Bailey quickly goes for the pin.

Alan Ducard: What a Shining Wizard by Ron Bailey! He might have him here!

Bryan Harris: Come on, get up Eli!

One...

TWO...

THR...

Jimmy Yates: Not quite a three count there and Bailey starts arguing with the referee.

Alan Ducard: This could be a critical mistake by Ron Bailey here.

Bryan Harris: And Eli's up right now!

Jimmy Yates: Turn around, Ron! Turn around!

Alan Ducard: Storm kicks Bailey in the gut and has him in position for the Ratings Boost, but WAIT A MINUTE! Bailey counters with the Sure Thing! Bailey counters it!

Bryan Harris: How the hell did he do that?

Jimmy Yates: And here's the cover.

ONE...

TWO...

THREE!!!

Alan Ducard: Wow, what an amazing match!

Bryan Harris: I hate to say it, but both of these guys put on a hell of a match!

Jimmy Yates: That's it for tonight's action, and folks, if you haven't decided yet whether or not to tune in on pay per view for the LEGACY X broadcast, we leave you tonight with one more video clip we'd like you to see. It speaks to what you will see in the main event on Sunday night for the World Championship.

"So close no matter how far"

We pull back to see Loco staring down at the title, lustily.

"Couldn't be much more from the heart"

A close up of X mouthing the word "Bullsh*t".

"Forever trusting who we are"

Loco Martinez hoists the Legacy World Title above his head triumphantly.

"And nothing else matters"

An almost identical shot to the pose, but this time its X-Calibur hoisting the belt.

"Never opened myself this way"

X-Calibur ringside laying the title across the table daring anyone in Legacy to touch it.

"Life is ours, we live it our way"

A shot of the same title inside Loco Martinez's trophy case.

"All these words I don't just say"

John Thomas touching the title.
FLASH. X-Terminator.
Loco Martinez rests his hand on the title.
FLASH. X-Terminator.

"And nothing else matters"

The World Title resting on the shoulder of its holder, X-Calibur.

Music fades out slowly and we get a quick flurry of clips from Strife and promos over the last few weeks.

Loco staring at the belt, he reaches down and purposely touches it, Loco Martinez: Oops. A quick blur and Loco places the belt on X's shoulder. X asks. X-Calibur: You think you can beat me? Loco nods. X-Calibur: Bullsh*t!

Flash to the last Strife before Legacy X.

X-Calibur: Because you and I BOTH know there's ONE reason why you were parading around here with your little trophy case as World Champion for so long, and one reason only... Pausing, X looks down at his title and smiles. Looking back up, X drops the smile and gives a stony glare to Loco, inches away from his face. X-Calibur: Because I.... have ALLOWED it. And one way or another, at LEGACY X... I'M... going to prove THAT.

A flash of a dry erase board with the following equation on it: LEGACY X = X - Au = LM + Au : as the musical intro from Nine Inch Nails' "Sin" begins, we continue to get some trashtalk highlights. Loco Martinez: That the Math Doesn't lie. X-Calibur: Because in the end, it all comes down to this. That one match. That one event. That one moment that means more to you than your opponent could ever possibly realize. That opponent... is Loco Martinez. That event... is LEGACY X. And that moment... is me walking out of Minneapolis with the World Championship around my waist. Loco Martinez: Do you remember where you were when..." That's how epic this encounter will be. Where 23,000 are in attentendance but over 70,000 say "We were "IN THE BUILDING" when..." The match where Rob Belote looks at the bottom line, and even his rich ass goes, "Damn, that made me a lot of money when..." Where you and I can look at our grandkids, and say "I was in the ring when..." .... Loco Martinez beat X-Calibur for the Legacy Heavyweight Championship of the World. X-Calibur: Heh. You want to shoot, Ralphie? Careful. You might shoot your eye out. Oh. OhohohohoHOO. I couldn't resist. Seriously, though... you wanna throw venom? Alright. Lets f**king throw. But just so you know? I'm a King Cobra, bitch Loco Martinez: I will be the next Legacy World Champion. Not because you disrespected the Title. The Company. Or didn't live up to some unspoken code of chivalry that a champion is supposed to adhere to. No. You disrespected, ME. You laid your hands on me, like I was a mongrel pup who was snapping at table scraps. You stuffed my nose in it like I did something wrong. And X, you, and the world knows... I didn't do a damn thing wrong. NOTHING. You have to play it macho and save face? Keep your rep? That's fine, dude. But realize it will not. Not NOW. NOT EVER. Be at Loco Martinez's expense. I didn't get to where I am today by rolling over and dying. I didn't ascend the highest reaches of this business by being a pushover. You made your choice. You stood your ground. And it will be the costliest mistake of your career. X-Calibur: The whole time? Through these insecurities... I sit back, fold my arms, and f**king smile. Why? Because it's almost here. On the precipice of the greatest match LEGACY has ever seen, I watch you twist and squirm in your seat, like the poor kid on the bus who knows he's about to get his ass kicked as soon as it reaches his stop. I watch you sweat bullets and mentally revisit the pain from the X-Terminator I gave you. I watch you come to the realization... that the doors are finally open, and I'm waiting over there by the big oak tree that is LEGACY X, fists clenched and ready to kick your scrawny ass. Step off the bus, bitch. So we can do this. You said your sh*t. I said mine. All that's left now... is to f**king fight. All that's left now, is for me to win. And that I will, Loco. One way or another, that I will.

The music explodes and we see Loco and X in their respective halloween costumes. No audio we just focus on their faces. As Trent Reznor's lyrics start.

"You give me the reason.
You give me control."

Their faces are happy. Smiling. Joking. Like two long friends catching up.

"I gave you my purity.
My purity you stole."

The smiles fade. Words are exchanged. They end up locked in an icy stare down. 180 degree turn from their previous jovial state.

"Did you think I wouldn't recognize this compromise."

Loco reaching down and touching the title accidentally.

"Am I just too stupid to realize."

X-Calibur leveling Loco with an X-Terminator.

"Stale incense old sweat and lies lies lies"

Loco Martinez leaning against the top rope sweat pouring down his face.

"It comes down to this."

Loco and X standing nose to nose the crowd around them frenzied.

"Your kiss."

Loco Martinez hoists the Legacy world title after he first won it and kisses it.

"Your fist."

Loco dropping an opponent with a right hand.

"And your strain."

Loco fights to get to his feet after the X-terminator.

"It get's under my skin."

Loco shooting an annoyed smirk. Pacing. Ready to lunge.

"Within."

Loco places the title on X-Calibur's shoulder. We see X mouth "You think you can beat me?" and Loco nods.

"Take in the extent of my sin"

John Thomas accidentally nailing Loco with the world title.

"You give me the anger.
You give me the nerve."

X-Calibur storms towards the ring and nails John Thomas who was holding his world title.

"Carry out the sentence.
I get what I deserve."

X leaps from the top rope with the Hang Time Elbow

"I'm just an effigy to be defaced.
To be disgraced."

Loco on the top rope and leaps nailing a picture perfect moonsault

"Your need for me has been replaced.
And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste."

A shot of Loco holding the World Championship, becomes a shot of X-Calibur wearing the World Championship.

"It comes down to this."

Loco and X eye to eye.

"Your kiss."

A shot of him and Catrina walking arm in arm. Becomes a shot of them arguing. Becomes them walking arm in arm again.

"Your fist."

X driving right hands into Crash.

"And your strain."

A bloodied X-Calibur lying in the middle of the ring.

"It get's under my skin."

X shakes his head after he just leveled Loco. He goes and straightens the belt on the announce table.

"Within."

X-Calibur nails Crash with the X-Terminator. Makes the cover. And is awarded the Legacy World Championship.

"Take in the extent of my sin"

A shot of a Legacy referee holding the title above his head... as the music fades we see Loco and X-Calibur on more time face to face intensity etched on their faces.
