The opening pyro and music and such go off to welcome us to the another XWA Massacre, and dissappointing some of the internet fanboys, the old Massacre logos are back in place and there is no sign of the Legion's control. Bummer. Still, the crowd is on their feet cheering for their favorites, and anxiously awaiting the action!
The sharp strings of "American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz kicks in and the crowd, which had been quieting, launches into a fresh set of cheers as the music announces the presence of the XWA's owner, Carmen King! Her video flashes across the Xtreme-o-tron showing off her achievements as a former XWA competitor as well as fashion model...hubba hubba, I hope she dresses like that in the boardroom of the XWA...and then suddenly she appears at the top of the ramp, serious but sexy, and then saunters down towards the ring, playing to the crowd.
Carmen reaches the ringsteps, accepts a microphone, and then climbs between the ropes with a slow pose as she bends over. Love that. She heads to center-ring and waits for the audience to quiet.
Carmen: Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to XWA: Massacre. I'm going to get right into it, because we've got a lot of show tonight, and I don't want to waste even a second of your time...but there are a few things here I really need to address. First of all, lets talk about...Diamond Jack Sabbath and the LEGION...
The crowd pops and is decidedly divided between the cheers and the jeers for the rebellious faction.
Carmen: ...and the chaos surrounding the XWA Television Title.
Small pop from the audience.
Carmen: Two weeks ago, Tempest (Medium pop!) won a match that earned him a shot at the Television title...but Last week, our "innovative" Assistant General Manager, Diamond Jack Sabbath (Pop!) decided not to give it to him...and not surprisingly, a member of the Legion ended up with the title, namely Mr. Magnificent, Chris Chaos.
More booing, fewer cheers.
Carmen: Jack Sabbath also made quite a few...questionable...decisions about the booking of last week's show, and I'd love to talk to him about it. But for some reason, I can't seem to find him, anywhere.
Cheering and laughter. The Legion fans boo loudly.
Carmen: Now, I know that Tempest decided to be a nice guy and give Jack a ride to the airport at the end of the show last week...
More laughter, more boos.
Carmen: And I know that after the pleasant treatment his wife recieved from Ciaren and the Legion at Jack's request, Vestal sure seemed anxious to talk to him and wish him well...
HUGE pop, laughter, and fewer boos.
Carmen: ...and I'm positive that our good friend Hutton Brown (Massive pop!) is interested in having a chat with Jack about the Tornado Tag match Jack put him into last week as well as all the attention the Legion has so generously given to his career as of late.
Pretty much, the audience is just enjoying themselves at this point, though a faction of Legion fans does get into some sort of altercation in the back of the arena at this point, and security carts a couple of bodies away.
Carmen: Jack, Jack, Jack...after careful consideration, and a full review of your executive decision making processes...AND the fact that you simply failed to show up to work today...I have simply NO choice but...to FIRE you as the Assistant General Manager! (Pop!) Oh, you can continue to act in your capacity as a competitor here in the XWA...I wouldn't dream of keeping you OUT of the ring when you and your friends have obviously worked so hard to develop such good will with your fellow wrestlers.
The crowd cheers a bit, then quiets. C'mon, you can only cheer SO much at a live event during a promo, right?
Carmen: But enough of that. Lets talk about TONIGHT, right here in St. Louis, Missouri!
Oops. I was wrong. More cheering...but it WAS a cheap pop.
Carmen: Tonight, we're going to see Chris Chaos defend his Television Title against the man that the industry insiders are calling the one-to-watch, and I happen to agree, which is why I've decided that he's the one getting this shot, ROSE!
Surprised Cheers!
Carmen: Now, Tempest, don't get your panties all in a bunch over this...you'll get your promised shot at the belt...but not tonight.
Boos from the Tempest fans. Wait...he's still got fans?
Carmen: No, Tempest you and Hutton Brown seem to have become magnets for Legion attention, and frankly, I can't afford to have my talent doing damage or being damaged anywhere but IN-that-ring...so, tonight, the two of you are going to have a friendly little match, which I'll guarantee as free of Legion interference...inside a Steel Cage! How's that for protection?
Confused cheers. Uh...yeah. The cage is for their protection. Riiiiight.
Carmen: And finally...Jack Hazard. (Ridiculous pop!) You've shown yourself to be quite the performer, well on your way to being a legend in your own right. Frankly, you've impressed everyone here with your skill and daring. You've impressed the Legion so much that Jack Sabbath offered you a spot in their little girl-scout troop. Well, Hazard...lets just see how much you want that. Tonight, in a non-title matchup, I'm putting YOU in the ring with the XWA Heavyweight Champion, Ciaren Donnegan! IF you beat him tonight, Hazard, dear...I'm going to make you the #1 Contender, and then next week...in that very ring...you'll get a shot at the Championship. How's that sound?
Huge cheers.
Carmen: Lastly...and probably most importantly...Since the California State Police have thus far come up empty-handed, Tonight I'm going to launch my own very investigation into the events surrounding the explosion that took our former General Manager, Lucifer "MadDog" McMahon away from us. We WILL find out what happened! I promise you that I will uncover the person or persons responsible for that car bomb and there will be consequences!! I have appointed a special investigator for these matters...and by god, I will have answers!
Carmen throws down the mic and storms out, her music playing and the crowd sort of yelling, unsure if they're supposed to be cheering or booing. Wait. They notice the applause sign and start cheering. Glad we cleared that up.

[CLOSED...especially to Johawn.
