[DMN in the House]

Before you read this show, I'd like to explain it a bit. Due to when I hold my monthly shows, and how I'm running the 'weekly TV tapings', on weeks when we have the monthly show, we don't run the TV tapings. As such, the last XPW TV of each month (or the first of the next, depending on the way the days fall), will always be a recap of the monthly show, since they aren't broadcast, obviously.

If you just want to skim to see announcements and stuff that is 'first-run', you can ignore the recaps, which are in quotes.

So, yeah, thanks for supporting this diary, I really think its rocking right now, and I plan on keeping it going... for once .

XPW TV

Filmed at the XPW Arena, Los Angeles, Ca.

Hosted by Kriss Kloss and Larry Rivera

Once again, I Disappear hits, bringing us clips of all the action that happened at the XPW Arena this last weekend, from Rob Black making his entrance to open the show, to the debut of Jamal Fatu and his 187 Splash through Angel and a table, and everything in between. The opener ends with the image the show ended on, with The New Enterprise standing over a bloody and beaten Kaos.

From there, we go to the studio, where Kriss Kloss and Larry Rivera are stoked about the XPW Arena show. Kloss then does the televised announcement of the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, stating that due to the action last night, FOUR slots have been filled, as Kaos, Teddy Hart, Dan Maff, and the big man who debuted last night, Jamal Fatu, are all entered in the tournament. Rivera comments that it will be nice to see some actual wrestling, but Kloss is quick to remind him that this IS Xtreme Pro Wrestling!

Kloss then begins talking about the XPW World Television Champion, Machete, and how things didn't quite go as planned for the champion last night, which leads us to our first recap of the night.

... the 'International Super Stud' Julio Dinero made his entrance, slapping hands with the fans, and woo'ing the few ladies in attendance. Dinero got on the stick, calling out the XPW World Television Champion Machete, and proclaiming that he wasn't just going to take his title tonight, he was going to take his woman too. Machete's music hit, and the champ came out with the title over his shoulder, and a mic in his hand, his woman, Shelly Martinez by his side. Machete said that he didn't think that was going to happen, considering that, since this wasn't televisied, he didn't feel like defending his title tonight. Dinero went to respond, but before he could, Machete said that he did feel like kicking the 'International Super Stud's' ass tonight! Machete then handed his title over to Martinez, and the duo made their way to ringside.

Machete and Dinero fought in a match that was slightly better than the one they had earlier in the week on XPW TV, and showed that, against the right opponents, Machete could have a watchable match, unlike the defense he had against Corporal Robinson. In this one, Machete was in clear control, really using the wide open nature of the XPW style to his advantage, as he busted out tables, chairs, and a ladder to punish Julio. Dinero was able to fight back when he ducked a ladder shot, and suplexed Machete, then went to the top, only to get pushed off by Martinez, which put both men down on the mat. Machete was up first, using a chair to beat the hell out of Dinero, who rolled from the ring, was followed, and the two brawled around ringside, until Machete got his bell rung on the steel post, and Dinero threw him back in. More catch as catch can weapon filled wrestling, and it looked like Machete had Dinero set up, as he went for the Superkick with Dinero holding a chair, but Dinero dodged. Dinero missed with the chair shot, and Martinez got involved in the match again, tossing Machete the XPW World Television Title, but the belt shot missed as well, and Dinero nailed Machete in the gut with the ladder, before nailing the Crushin' Legsweep ONTO the ladder to secure the pinfall in what turned out to be a non-title bout. Post match Dinero posed with the XPW World Television Title, before throwing it on top of the prone Machete, and telling him that come hell or high water, that belt was going to go around the waist of the 'International Super Stud'!

Winner: Julio Dinero

[Commercial break]

Back from break, and in the studio, Kloss and Rivera say that it looks like Julio Dinero and Machete are far from done, but they won't be meeting next week on XPW TV, as Machete is scheduled to defend his XPW World Television Championship Title against 'The Hardcore Homo' Angel! They then talk about the XPW World Tag Team Championship Match, saying that it will be shown in a minute, but first they have a scene with Southern Comfort, who wanted to make it known that they were back in XPW, and still looking to gain hold of the XPW World Tag Team Titles.

... Southern Comfort (Chris Hamrick and Tracy Smothers), basically spent their time complaining about how XPW had decided to put 'spics and faggots' in a match for the XPW World Tag Team Titles, while forgetting the best damn tag team this side of the Mason-Dixon line, obviously referring to Mexico's Most Wanted and Youthanazia. Hamrick then promised that Southern Comfort would be making their prescence felt, sooner rather than later, even if they couldn't be there tonight. The scene ended with Tracy Smothers waving the Confederate flag, as the two spat out a few more racial slurs about the teams going head to head for the titles.

Kloss and Rivera then into'd the XPW World Tag Team Championship match between Mexico's Most Wanted and Youthanazia.

... Damien 666 and Halloween, Mexico's Most Wanted were out first, interacting with the fans, and waving a Mexican flag, which got a nice cheer from some of the Hispanic fans in the audience. Their opponents seemed more focused on the task at hand, and less willing to play to the crowd, as Youthanazia, Josh Prohibition and 'Iron' Matt Cross made their way to the ring, with Prohibition removing his silver 'Jason' mask along the way. Once in the ring, the two teams actually shook hands, before the bell was rung. The match itself turned out to be exactly what it was expected to be, as the two teams stole the show by repeatedly putting their bodies on the line in order to take home the XPW World Tag Team Titles. The more experienced MMW were able to control the opening of the match, as Damien 666 and Matt Cross went through a series of nearfall and hold exchanges, but a tag and a suplex by J-Pro changed the complexion of the match, as Youthanazia took over, looking to be the first team to claim three XPW World Tag Team Title reigns. Atypical of a XPW match, no weapons made their way into the ring, but the foursome still amazed the crowd with matching suicide dives, as Damien 666 went after J-Pro at the same time Cross was going arial after Halloween, in a spot that brought about more 'X-P-W' chants! When the action was in the ring, J-Pro seemed to dominate, although he was never quite able to nail either the T-Bone Prohibition-Plex or the Drunken Driver, as he set up for each several times, only to have the move countered, as the vets had him well scouted! The finish came as Halloween slid under J-Pro in the ring, tripping him up and slapping a camel clutch on him as Matt Cross tried to come off the top turnbuckle to the outside on Damien 666, missed, crashing and burning on the guardrail, allowing Damien to slip back into the ring to nail the helpless J-Pro in the face with a dropkick, before Halloween turned him over into a pinning predicament as Mexico's Most Wanted took home the titles for a record third time! After the match, Mexico's Most Wanted offered Youthanazia another handshake, only to have the losers turn their backs and leaves. After a brief moment, both champions shrugged, then climbed to the turnbuckles to celebrate their victory!

Winner(s) and NEW XPW World Tag Team Champions: Mexico's Most Wanted (Halloween p. Prohibition)

Before the last break, we get a new promo, which features Justin Credible, fresh off his run with World Wrestling Entertainment, where he got released without a 90-Day No Compete Clause. Credible talks about his last run in XPW, where he was cheated by politics and 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas. Credible talks about how thats not going to happen this time, and he throws his Singapore Cane in the ring for the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Credible then hits his standard catchphrase, and we're out.

[Commercial Break]

In the studio, Kloss says that having Justin Credible back in XPW is HUGE, and that the former challenger for the XPW World Heavyweight Title WILL be in action next week! Kloss then says that something else that was huge was the debut of Jamal Fatu, which, of course, leads us to the recap of that action last night.

... Stay Fly by Three 6 Mafia sounded out, and Jamal Fatu stepped through the curtain!

70

The former UMAGA, his hair now braided in cornrows, wearing the bandannas and jersey top he had worn in TNA, stepped down to the ring, adjusting the gloves he was wearing as he did. Once in the ring, he challenged Angel to hit him, which the XPW favorite did, although it seemed to have little effect. Jamal then went to work, whipping 'The Hardcore Homo' across the ring as Lazie slid to the outside. Jamal flattened Angel with a body block, and it looked like he was going to make quick work in his XPW debut, when Angel nailed him with a low blow that changed the match completely. Jamal soon found out what makes XPW the most violent company in professional wrestling today, as Angel introduced a steel chair to his face, but it didn't seem to be the smaller man's night, as Jamal took everything Angel had and gave it right back, as the two brawled around the arena in a match that showed that Jamal had what it took to be considered a legit competitor in XPW. Angel was able to bust open the big man though, as he nailed him with a droptoe hold to the edge of the chair, then went for a quick pin, but the big man just threw Angel off his chest. The finish was a cool spot, however, as a table had been brought into the ring, and following a Samoan Drop, Jamal positioned Angel on the table, and climbed to the top rope, putting Angel through the table with a huge 187 Splash to gain victory in his XPW debut!

Winner: Jamal Fatu

56,51,62

Rivera says that Fatu is the clear favorite to win the XPW World Heavyweight Title, while Kloss says that either of the two men in our last recap of the night, Kaos or Teddy Hart, could walk out with the belt. This leads into a shortened clip of their match last night, as time for XPW TV is running short.

Teddy then rolled Kaos back into the ring, and climbed up top, but jumped down when Kaos stirred. Hart got caught with a suplex from Kaos, and both men were down in the middle of the ring, with The Enterprise pounding the mat, trying to get their man to his feet. The finish came when both men struggled to their feet, with Hart trying a clothesline that was ducked, and getting caught with a superkick, only for Kaos to turn around, right into a HUGE chairshot by GQ Money, followed by a Cash Flow onto the chair by his former friend, as Valentina distracted the referee. Hart followed up with a Hart Attack that put this tainted victory away.

Winner: Teddy Hart

XPW TV ends with Kloss and Rivera telling us to come back next week, when Justin Credible, Machete, and 'The Hardcore Homo' Angel will be in action, on a all first run night of XTREME!

Although I am not familiar with the whole XPW experience, I must say I'm enjoying this diary. While I'm not familiar with the fed, I am familiar with a few of the characters. For some reason I like Teddy Hart despite all his bitch fits and shit backstage. Seeing him in a solid storyline here is nice, and I wish I'd have seen Kaos. I've only seen a couple of matches with Machete, but it seems you have faith in him, and so far it's going quite well, although Dinero beating him seemed out of the blue. Jamal showing up was a given considering the hype. Leaves me wondering who the Heavyweight Champion is going to be, but damn it, I'll be reading.

[TOG]

I just wanna say how much I chuckled at the 3 crowd reaction for the Kyd/Spectre match. Bwah.

Metallica opens up yet another night of Xtreme Pro Wrestling, as the opening video now showcases the big moments from the last XPW Arena show, alongside the greatest moments in XPW history, before ending with a large crowd chanting 'X-P-W'. This leads us into the studio, where Kloss and Rivera welcome us, run down the card, then intro the first match of the night, as we're going right to the action.

Its an XPW return, as NOSAWA makes his re-debut in Xtreme Pro Wrestling, alongside his tag team partner MAZADA. The Japanese wrestlers get a small warm reaction from some of the more knowledgable and veteran fans, before climbing into the ring. Their opponents are also making their return to XPW, as Babbi Slymm and Smokey Carmichael, now calling themselves Black Wallstreet, come out, dressed in all red, ready to put in some 'work' as they put it. This was a solid, if unspectacular match that saw some of the trademark action XPW is known for, as NOSAWA isn't afraid to take it to the 'Xtreme'. The action was best when NOSAWA was in the ring with Smokey Carmichael, but it wasn't anything to write home about as the Japanese basically put on a clinic, which was only disrupted when the bigger Slymm got in the ring, and took over. The finish came when MAZADA forced Carmichael to submit to an STF as NOSAWA brawled with Slymm at ringside. Post-match, the Japanese duo posed in the ring, as Black Wallstreet backed up the aisle, making threats as they go. During this match, Kloss also announced that NOSAWA would be taking on another man returning to XPW next week, when he goes head to head with Jonny Storm!

Winner(s): NOSAWA & MAZADA (MAZADA sub. Carmichael)

44,28,70

Kaos is in the back, at the rapidly becoming standard brick wall. He cuts into GQ Money, calling him out, and saying that any chance they had of reconciling their friendship is now gone, that the only two things he cared about anymore were winning the XPW World Heavyweight Title, and destroying the Enterprise once and for all. Kaos then says that at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, in the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, he was going to show Teddy Hart, and whoever else GQ wanted to bring, just what XPW, and 'The Rock Superstar', were about.

59

[Commercial Break]

After the break, we're back in XPW Arena, where the XPW World Television Champion, Machete, is in the ring, without Shelly Martinez. Machete gets on the mic, saying that last Saturday was a fluke when Julio Dinero beat him, and it won't happen again, and just to prove it, he has Shelly in the back making a rematch for next week. He then says that he's not a big fan of fags, but he dosen't have a problem kicking Angel's ass, which brings out 'The Hardcore Homo'. Angel is carrying a ladder with him, and when he appears, Machete drops the mic, challenging Angel to get in the ring, and the bell is rung. This title defense is held together almost solely with Angel's bumping, as the two have a fairly even weapons filled brawl, with the ladder coming heavily into play. At one point it looks like Angel might be able to steal the XPW World Television Title, as he catches Machete in the Angel Job, but Machete is able to kick out of a pin attempt, and goes back on the offensive, bouncing Angel's head off the ladder. There's another nice spot, when Angel tries a suicide dive onto Machete on the outside, only to get nailed with a home run chair shot, which draws a small 'holy shit' chant. Finish comes when Angel climbs the ladder, thinking that Machete is down in the ring, only for Machete to get up and push the ladder over, causing Angel to go crashing through a table at ringside, where he's unable to continue, and Machete wins via referee's decision. After the match, Machete climbs on the turnbuckle with his title, challenging anyone who wants a shot, and pointing and badmouthing Angel, who's recieving help from the EMTs, saying that he'll do the same to anyone who thinks they can take his belt.

Winner and STILL XPW World Television Champion: Machete

42,34,60

After the match, we see Machete headed to his lockeroom, when he hears laughing from inside. Machete bursts in, and quickly becomes enraged when he sees 'The International Super Stud' Julio Dinero talking to Shelly Martinez! Machete asks Julio what the fuck he's doing there, to which Dinero simply replies 'Just what I said I was going to do, taking your woman, the your title, bitch!'. Machete charges him, and the two start brawling in the lockeroom, with neither man able to get an advantage, until XPW officials flood the room, pulling the two apart. As they do, Dinero tells Machete that this week it was his woman, and next week its going to be his title! Its going to be a violent clash next week when these two go head to head!

42

[Commercial Break]

When we come back, Chris Chetti is in the ring badmouthing the crowd, and emphasizing his phsyique, when Grinspoon's Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck hits, bringing out XPW fan favorite, Justin Credible. Credible was the last challenger for the XPW World Heavyweight Championship in the old days of XPW, and he's looking to make his impact again in the re-incarnation, as he's already thrown his name in the ring for a chance at the title again. Credible hits the ring with ferocity, ripping into Chetti, who clearly wasn't ready to face as focused an opponent as Credible looked this night. Credible beats Chetti from pillar to post, until Chetti is able to nail a flying clothesline on the rebound of a whip, and change the complection of the match, as he takes control, grounding Credible and locking him in a modified facelock. Credible fights to his feet, and sends Chetti off the ropes, wrapping him up with a sleeper on the rebound, only to turn it into a pretty wicked looking reverse DDT, then slide to the outside, where he retrieves his Singapore cane. He climbs back in, whips Chetti off the ropes again, and nails him hard in the gut with the cane on the rebound, and from that moment on, this match is all but over. Credible doles out pain with the Singapore cane, eventually breaking it over Chetti's head, before setting him up for a Thats Incredible, his trademark twisting tombstone piledriver! After the count, Credible takes time out to celebrate with the XPW fans, who welcome him back, cheering and patting him on the back as he climbs through the crowd, stopping only to give us our last image of the night, of Credible, in the middle of the crowd, making belt motions across his waist.

Winner: Justin Credible

Before we end, Kriss Kloss hypes next weeks show, where NOSAWA will take on wonder-Brit Jonny Storm, and Machete will defend his XPW World Television Championship against Julio Dinero!

Woot, numerous more XPW shows, look at Syco busting out the workrate. Just some random comments here

End of month show

- Not really a surprise to see Supreme going over in the Deathmatch, it seems like he has few real challengers in that environment. Necro or Pondo better becoming in for the tournament, otherwise it'll seem like a shoe in for the 'Human Horror Film'

- Southern fucking Comfort, praise be to Allah. Such an awesome team, especially for XPW and with someone like Syco in charge, I'm expecting good things from them.

- Dinero winning was surprising seeing how Machete had been built up, but I guess it gives them both something to do as the federation builds up

- Jamal... Okay. Samoan Violence in XPW, oh yes indeedy.

- I was disapointted to see Teddy take the victory here, but Kaos Vs. The Enterprise redux should be very interesting.

TV Show 2

- No real point to review the first show, but it is a nice touch and keeps things realistic

- NOSAWA! Awesome, good to see some more depth being added to the tag team division

- Jonny Storm~! Woot. Bring back the XPW European Title >_>

- Dinero/Machete is hotting up, will Shelly go with Dinero or stay with Machete... I've got a feeling she'll be leaving with the champ >_>

- Credible... There's my pick for the Title tournament. Looked good against Chetti as well.

Tis all good Syco, keep them shows coming.

[TOG]

I find it peculiar that Shelly did nothing to object to Dinero's claim, nor stop the fighting. That could have been completely unintentional on your part, or she could be manipulating both men to amuse herself. I'd actually bet that's what she is doing regardless.

Nozawa and Mazada coming in was rather awesome. I've always like Nozawa.

Machete going over Angel by referee decision was brilliant I think. If Dinero had to win at the XPW Arena show, this was a good way to ensure that Machete is still a badass, though the spot that put Angel out did seem a little unspectacular for XPW in text, but I think would translate fine in reality, if that makes sense.

The Chetti/Credible bit seemed odd to me, if only because although he isn't new to XPW, this is the first time we've seen him in the month+ XPW has been open again, and he is fed to Credible. Iunno. I'm not familiar with Chetti's time in XPW, so I don't know how big of a player he was/how memorable the character was.

[TheRaySays]

All right. Time to get down to business and feedback this beeyotch.

XPW One Night in Lizzy:

So, Rob Black got a "wild hair up his ass"... Did you mean that literally? With Rob, you never know. That wild hair might've been on the end of a 13" dildo. I suppose the less said, the better, actually.

Larry Rivera = rrratings! Good to see the proper voices of XPW in place.

I really liked the opening to One Night in Lizzy. Surprisingly respectful tribute to Candido from Rob. Loyalty matters.

I like the highlights from the triple threat tag match. Smothers and Hamrick connected via staples and a Mexican flag is awesome.

Someone busting a Kool-Aid Man pitcher upside someone's head IS the coolest spot ever. (Y)

There's something almost dirty about the acronym "ONiL" as in "She'll do anything... anything except ONiL."

XPW TV Episode # 1:

Josh Lazie is going to manage Ekmo?

I would've liked a description of Josh Abercrombie as he's a newcomer to XPW and I have no clue who he is.

Teddy Hart in The Enterprise = $$$

Valentina needs to get into a catfight with Shelly. The sooner, the better.

XPW TV Episode # 2:

Wow. That Machete/Corp. match really tanked it up. Ug.

You need to give The Altar Boyz a manager or something so their non-match segments don't go into the toilet.

This episode felt exceptionally short. Still, you can't go wrong with closing out on Lizzy fondling an almost 7' man in black latex.

XPW TV Episode # 3:

Sorry, I have no interest in Dan Maff or his problems "back east." Kick ass, Danny Boy, or go home.

Koko B. Ware is a wrestling... god. He gave his only begotten cockatoo to suffer for our sins. Trust me, put Koko in The Enterprise. Even if for just a one-off appearance. I'm begging you.

Teddy Hart's promos fall somewhere between Warrior and crazy Roddy Piper.

I love your "final image" bit. I always liked seeing people use that. I think I did it back in 3PW. I need to steal it back for Wildside TV. It's also like punctuation. Your final image sets the tone for what you want most remembered.

XPW Arena Show # 1:

It seems strange that this show will be on DVD when it doesn't have a catchy name like "Your Mother Sucks Dicks in Hell" or whatever.

Good to see Dan Maff actually do something other than run his mouth, although the talk to walk ratio is still 2:1.

Submission via moonsault! Tap! Tap! Tap! I mark for Kaos too, but this is kinda hard not to root for.

OOOOOMAGA! Curious addition that sorta fits, strangely enough.

XPW TV Episode # 4:

I don't recap recaps.

XPW TV Episode # 5:

I'm interested in BOTH tag teams in the opening match. Too bad one team has to lose. Still, it's nice seeing some depth in the division.

I echo the sentiment that I would've liked to see what Shelly's reaction to Dinero's claim was. This was one of those segments that was actually hamstrung by your summary style. In things like the Teddy Hart "moonsault submission" promo, you managed to fit in some choice bits, but this segment seemed to cry out for more detail. Oh well.

Justin Credible (N)... I don't like Aldo in a mask... I don't like PJ Polloco kicking ass... I do not like Justin Otherasshole by any name or any fed. Boo.

Looking forward to NOSAWA/Jonny Storm. There should be some stiff kicks in that one. I don't care if you have to write it again. XPW cannot die!

Please continue.

September 11th, 2006

Filmed at the XPW Arena, Los Angeles, Ca.

Hosted by Kriss Kloss and Larry Rivera

Instead of the normal opening to XPW TV, we get a shot of the crowd at the XPW Arena, with I Disappear playing in the background. Rob Black himself is on the way to the ring, and he looks pissed off, which is understandable, considering the news that is making the rounds on the 'net that Teddy Hart has checked himself into rehab for alcoholism, reportedly without offering any explanation or advanced notice to XPW. Black gets on the stick, announces 'this is a [fuck]ing shoot' and starts running down Hart for being an 'unprofessional little prick' who 'got his win and went home', stating that 'that [fuck]er will never [fuck]ing step foot in an XPW ring again.'. Black then states that he tried to give Teddy 'a [fuck]ing chance, and the 'little prick [fuck]ed it up'. To make up for it, Black is placing the winner of Jonny Storm versus NOSAWA tonight in the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament, and making a huge match for the show tonight, with the XPW World Tag Team Titles on the line as Mexico's Most Wanted defend against Youthanazia. Satisfied, but not calmed, Black throws the mic and leaves us to the traditional opening of XPW TV.

71

[Commercial Break]

After the break, Kriss Kloss explains that, due to the unexpected shoot interview by Rob Black, XPW TV is running late today, and with three huge matches, all with major implications, two with titles on the line and one with a spot in the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament hanging in the balance, we're going right to the action.

As the challenger, 'The International Super Stud' Julio Dinero is out first, and he's playing to the crowd, even giving a rose to a particularly busty female fan. Gotta love the plants. Dinero then poses on the turnbuckle, making the requisite belt motions around his waste. His opponent for the night is the XPW World Television Champion, Machete, who enters with the lovely Shelly Martinez, but then orders her to the back. They argue for a moment, but eventually she goes. Machete walks to the ring, then shoves the TV Title in Dinero's face, clearly telling him that he has no shot at getting the belt. In the early going, it looks like that will be the case, as Machete dominates with his rapidly evolving extreme style, bringing chairs and tables into play. However, momentum swings when a chair shot is missed, and Dinero is able to slingshot Machete headfirst into a table propped in the corner, although he's not able to take the title away with that spot. Machete battles back to his feet, and even looks like he's going to hit his version of the Van Daminator, the Super Kick to the steel chair, but Dinero has it scouted from the two matches these opponents have had before, ducking it, nailing the champ in the gut with the chair, then getting a modified double arm DDT onto the chair, which gets a long two count before its broken up by the timely appearance of Shelly Martinez! The ref is loathe to throw out a title bout in Xtreme Pro Wrestling, however, and allows the match to continue, with the champ bleeding from the headfirst fall into the chair. This seems to have the opposite of the expected affect however, as Machete goes on the warpath, cleaning Dinero's clock with a diving clothesline, then lifting him up and suplexing him on the turnbuckle. Dinero falls to the outside, where, to add insult to injury, and maybe get a little payback for the lockeroom incident last week, Machete holds Dinero up for a chairshot from Martinez. Things go awry, however, when Dinero ducks, and, despite having ample time to stop the chair, Martinez cracks Machete in the head! Dinero looks at her as she simply drops the chair and backs up the ramp, before rolling the champion into the ring and dropping him with the No Brainer for the semi-tainted one-two-three victory and the XPW World Television Title! Post-match, Dinero holds up the title, but seems distracted, as he heads to the back, seemingly in pursuit of Shelly Martinez.

Winner and NEW XPW World Television Champion: Julio Dinero

49

Due to time constraints, and the fact that the other two matches on XPW TV involve championships, the NOSAWA versus Jonny Storm match is joined in progress at about the 6 minute mark. Storm is in control, but moments into the clipped match NOSAWA scores with a rolling leg kick, then unleashes a barrage of kicks to the prone Storm. 'The Wunderkind' fights back, nailing stiff forearm shots, then whipping NOSAWA into the turnbuckle, but The Rewind, a jumpback 'rana, misses, and Storm eats boot off a mule kick. These two put on a superb match, despite a clash in styles as the lucharesu inspired NOSAWA is up against the British based flyer. Armdrag into a armbar goes nowhere as Storm gets to his feet and a kick to the side breaks the hold. A kick battle ensues, with Storm coming out on the losing end. NOSAWA begins to work the neck and back, setting up for the STF he uses to finish matches, but Storm is resiliant, and with a spot at XPW glory, and a bigger payday on the line, refuses to stay down. Storm even results to some underhanded tactics to stay off his back, but this is XPW, and we don't give a damn anyway. NOSAWA then begins to kick away, and Storm asks for another, catching this one, and taking the Japanese wrestler down with a dragon screw. He stomps the leg, then wrenches back, but is unable to capitalize on the damage as NOSAWA counters and pulls him into a pinfall attempt. Storm is saved, not by his immense wrestling ability, but by the timely interference of one GQ Money, who comes running down the aisle, dives into the ring, and starts stomping away at NOSAWA, nearly getting Storm DQ'd before he threatens the ref. After a moment of brief discussion, GQ Money PAYS OFF REFEREE ERIK LOY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, then goes back to work on NOSAWA, taking him out with a steel chair. Dazed, NOSAWA is 'helped' to his feet by GQ Money, who then holds him long enough for Storm to finish the match with a Blockbuster. Afterwards, GQ Money, Storm, and Loy all hold each others hands up, before Money gets on the mic, saying that with Teddy Hart deciding to 'take his sorry Canadian ass home' The NEW Enterprise needed to do some 'remodeling'. He then proclaims Storm the new face of The Enterprise, and points out that he even uses Kaos' old finisher, the Blockbuster, before saying that, now that they have their own personal referee, no one can stop them. Kloss tends to agree on commentary, while questioning the motives of referee Erik Loy.

Winner: Jonny Storm

[Commercial Break]

Back from the commercial, and we're in the Black Wallstreet lockeroom, where Big Slymm, as he's calling himself this week and Smokey Carmichael are sitting back with a few 40s and a blunt, listening to some Tupac. The door swings open, and GQ Money makes his second appearance of the night, prompting Carmichael to tell him to get his 'white ass outta here.'. GQ begs him off, telling him he has an offer for them, then flashing the cash. Carmichael looks at Slymm, who just nods, and Carmichael motions for GQ Money to continue. GQ Money then runs down all the 'advantages' of being part of the New Enterprise, basically offering Black Wallstreet a spot, in exchange for them being the muscle of the group. Money tells them that he can get them anything they want, 'cash, cars, ho's, title shots', which really gets Carmichaels and Slymm's attention. Carmichael says they'll 'think on it', and get back to him. GQ Money nods, and leaves, but not before laying cash down on the table, telling Carmichael to 'think reaaaaaal hard.'. Carmichael nods, then looks to be deep in thought as the scene ends.

With about ten minutes left in the show, its time for the XPW World Tag Team Championship match, which starts off with both teams already in the ring. The challengers, 'Iron' Matt Cross and Josh Prohibition, Youthanazia, are looking to claim their third reign as XPW World Tag Team Champions, while the defending champions, Mexico's Most Wanted, Halloween and Damien 666 already hold that honor. This was a quick hitting catch as catch can match, as both teams are well aquainted with each other, and have most of the other's moves well scouted. Still, due to the quickness of both teams, people were flying everywhere, and really getting the crowd into the match as they'd take turns diving towards the crowd with little regard for themselves, especially Cross. Prohibition was able to get an early nearfall with a clean suplex, but it was broken up by a leg drop from Damien 666. With two teams that know each other so well, counters into nearfalls and reversals are abundant, and neither team is able to get a clear advantage. Mexico's Most Wanted finally get the upperhand when Cross nearly kills himself on the guardrail, trying a plancha suicida that he crashes and burns on, which inadvertantly turns this into a one on two for the time being. Prohibition fights valiantly, but is unable to keep MMW from making tags when needed, and nearly succumbs to a surfboard by Hallween until Cross flies in with a springboard dropkick, but all three men end up down in the ring. Damien 666 stays on the apron, loathe to break the rules just to defend the titles, and stomps and claps, trying to urge his partner to his feet. Youthanazia is up first, and they execute a NICE double team sequence, as Prohibition suplexes Halloween right into a legdrop from Cross, which gets a long two. Prohibition then goes for the T-Bone Prohibition-Plex, but its blocked, and countered into a stalling brainbuster, taking both men down as Damien 666 and Cross beg for the tag in their respective corners. Hot tag is made, and Damien 666 is el casa en fuego, and my Spanish is horrible. Clothesline, jump over the prone Cross, dropkick, low dropkick to the head, and Cross is reeling when Damien 666 leaps to the top for a Moonsault, only to be pushed off by... Chris Hamrick? Yes, indeed it is, as Southern Comfort has come through the crowd and made their way to ringside, where they have insterted themselves in the match, causing the referee to throw this one out, meaning Mexico's Most Wanted will retain. In the post-match melee, Chris Hamrick is T-Bone Prohibition-Plex'd by J-Pro, while Damien 666 gets taken out with a Swinging Neckbreaker by Tracy Smothers, and Halloween works over Matt Cross' face with hard punches, before everything breaks down again as officials flood the ring.

Winner: Draw due to Southern Comfort's interference, Mexico's Most Wanted retain

Nice. Teddy leaving, though probably bad for your storyline ideas, only increases my interest in the diary. His promos may have been hilarious, but I am far more into Jonny Storm as the new face of the Enterprise with GQ now hunting around for muscle than I was Teddy Hart.

Shelly's bit was quite good, though expected. Hopefully she continues to be in the middle for awhile before siding with either man.

The tag title match was a great way to end the show, and really sets the three-way feud into motion, which needed to happen soon if I was expected to care about these tag matches.

Great show, worth the wait; and I was overcome with joy when I saw this was updated again.

[TheRaySays]

Wow, great episode. I really liked the Teddy Hart/Kaos feud, but I see how it's really Kaos vs. The Enterprise and so long as GQ Money and Valentina continue to be the primary faces in that group, I'm down with replacing Ted. I love the notion of Black Wallstreet as the enforcer duo. (Y)

Machete vs. Dinero with Shelly is heating up. It's been pretty hardcore thus far, tho, and I have no idea how you "up the ante" so to speak.

The tag match devolving into a three-way war was a-okay with me. I mark for Hamrick and Smothers, so it's nice to see them still in the hunt.

Glad to see this one still going strong. More please.

XPW TV

September 18th, 2006

Filmed at the XPW Arena, Los Angeles, Ca.

Hosted by Kriss Kloss and Larry Rivera

Fuck RAW and its sports entertainment, if its Monday fucking night, that can only mean one thing, for those in the Southern California area or with the benefit of satellite television... XPW TV is on the fucking air! Cue I Disappear, and the highlight reel, as tonight is being promoted as a return to XPW's roots, as Pogo the Clown, Kaos, 'White Trash' Johnny Webb, and Supreme are all in action, according to Kriss Kloss and 'Los Cubanito' Larry Rivera. The full card for Reign in Blood, the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament to be held Saturday, September 30th from the Grand Olympic Auditorium is also announced, with Mexico's Most Wanted defending the XPW World Tag Team Championships against Youthanazia AND Southern Comfort confirmed, as well as these eight names for the tournament;

'The Rock Superstar' Kaos

Jonny Storm

Jamal Fatu

Sonny Siaki

'White Trash' Johnny Webb

'Vicious' Vic Grimes

Dan Maff

Justin Credible

It is also announced that the brackets will be disclosed next week, along with the first two entrants into the 2006 King of the Deathmatch!

In the ring for our first match, Glenn Spectre looks for all the world like a lamb at the slaughter, which, to many XPW fans, he probably is, as Dead Skin Mask by Slayer heralds the entrance of Pogo the Clown, prompting a small 'Pogo's Gonna Kill You' chant by the XPW faithful. Pogo slowly makes his way to the ring, dragging his trademark shovel behind him, before stepping over the top rope. Spectre tries to back off, then rushes Pogo, getting dropped with a HUGE clothesline that drops Pogo to his knees as he delivers it. Spectre looks to be out, as Pogo picks him up, slamming him back to the ground, then doing it again and again, before picking him up, and driving Spectre's ribs into his knee a trio of times. Pogo then lifts Spectre into the over the shoulder position, and drops to his knees with the Closed Casket Crunch, doing more damage to the ribs before easily pinning Spectre. Post-squash, Pogo kicks Spectre to the ropes, then climbs out of the ring, grabbing his shovel. He pulls Spectre up, hefting him to his shoulder, and leaves the arena with his unconcious opponent slung over his shoulder.

Winner: Pogo the Clown

[Commercial Break]

Back from break, and Josh Lazie is in the back, in front of the now FAMOUS XPW white brick wall! Lazie launches into a promo hyping Jamal Fatu, and declaring that no one can stop his 'Samoan violence' from making him the next XPW World Heavyweight Champion. Lazie proclaims that Fatu is 'training in Japan' right now, but he'll be at the Grand Olympic Auditorium on the 30th, and there will be hell to pay. Before finishing, he also runs down Dan Maff, claiming that Jamal has been in contact with some 'friends back east' who 'don't like that Maff is running his mouth', obviously alluding to the past years controversy involving Maff and Homicide. Lazie says that if Maff runs into Fatu in the tournament, he might just have to end Maff's career, as a 'favor'.

59

Its time for the weekly XPW World Television Title match, as the original, and longest tenured television champion, 'The Rock Superstar' Kaos, makes his way out, slapping hands with the crowd, who love him. Kaos has gone on record as saying he is focused on the XPW World Heavyweight Championship, and is entered in the tournament, but accepted this shot at the Television Title at the request of the current champion 'The International Super Stud' Julio Dinero, who said that, unlike the former champion Machete, he wanted to face the best, week in, and week out. Kaos removed his sunglasses once in the ring, and awaited the champion. Dinero came out, subdued for him, but still put the moves on a lovely lady at ringside, earning himself a kiss in the process. Once in the ring, he payed his respects to Kaos, shaking his hand before handing over the belt to the referee. These two great competitors had the match of the night, as they wrestled each other to a near draw, and, despite both men being in the crowd's good graces, it was clear that XPW's favorite son, Kaos, was the clear favorite. In fact, a loud cheer went up when Kaos was able to hit his old trademark move, the Kaostrify blockbuster, for a long two count, before Dinero got the shoulder up. Even the fact that 'The Rock Superstar' wasn't able to claim victory there didn't kill the fans, who popped again when he nearly hit the Kaos Cutter, only to have Dinero push his way out. It still looked like Kaos would reclaim the title that he made famous, however, when he nailed Dinero with the Fallen Star crucifix piledriver, and made the cover, only to have Black Wallstreet hit the ring, breaking up the pinfall as a cackling GQ Money looked on from the curtain. Big Slymm held Kaos up in a powerbomb position as Smokey Carmichael came off the top with a dropkick, a move that Kloss dubs the Westsider Rider! Not to be outdone, Machete rushes down the aisle, followed closely by Shelly Martinez, who seems to be trying to stop him. Machete climbs in the ring, and BLASTS Julio Dinero in the jaw with a massive Superkick as he tries to get to his feet. Machete stands over Dinero, as Black Wallstreet, obviously having made their choice to join The New Enterprise, retreat up the ramp. Martinez attempts to pull Machete away, but the former World Television Champion SLAPS HER HARD ACROSS THE FACE, before yelling at her, then getting on the stick and telling her that if she wants Dinero so bad, he can have her... IF 'The International Super Stud' can beat him next week, with the title, the girl, and their XPW careers on the line! Holy shit, thats going to be a HUGE XPW TV match! Machete spikes the mic on Dinero's prone body, as Kaos tries to get to his feet and help, only to have Machete drop and roll out of the ring, backing up the ramp as we go to commercial.

Winner: Draw due to extreme clusterfuckery. Julio Dinero retains.

[Commercial Break]

Before we go back to the action, we get Kriss Kloss and Larry Rivera going crazy over the prospects of what amounts to a 'Loser Leaves XPW' match, right here on XPW TV, next week! With the hype over, we go back to the brick wall, where the only man entered in the XPW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament at Reign in Blood who has yet to be seen is standing, as 'Cocky' Sonny Siaki is ready for some screen time. Siaki talks about how its nice to 'finally get a chance... to show his greatness'. He proclaims himself the 'next, best, and sexiest' XPW World Heavyweight Champion, and finishes by running down all the other entrants in his best impression of The Rock. It actually works, though.

72

To end the show we get some nice old school Xtreme Pro Wrestling action, as 'White Trash' Johnny Webb takes on 'The Human Horror Film' Supreme. Both men look ready for action as we join the match with both men already in the ring, staring each other down, with the crowd unsure of who to cheer for, but with Webb holding a slight majority. Supreme reaches out and slaps the taste out of Webb's mouth, but 'White Trash' responds with a right hand, then another, forcing Supreme back, before whipping him across the ring, only to get hit with a cane shot on the rebound. This one was full of the hardcore action XPW is known for, as the two brawled around the ring and into the crowd, with chairs and Singapore canes swinging freely. Webb nearly got killed when he got dumped over the side of the bleachers, through a table, but Supreme was unable to capitalize as he couldn't get Webb back to the ring. Supreme also felt the sting of the wood when he got suplexed off of the turnbuckle when the two did return to the squared circle, with the former King of the Deathmatch going from the turnbuckle, through the table, and to the concrete floor. Webb then landed a sweet double foot stomp he'd added to his moveset, and tried to get Supreme back into the ring, but it wasn't happening as the 'Human Horror Film' found his second wind. More brawling around the ring, with both men crashing over the guardrail following a crazy flying clothesline by Webb. When they did return to the ring, Supreme went for a chairshot, only to have it ducked, and ate boot by Webb. Webb went for a powerbomb, but was unable to lift Supreme, prompting a 'You Fat Fuck' chant, followed by Webb locking in the Kata-Hajime, better known as the Tazmission, which only resulted in Supreme getting the ropes, prompting a 'Bullshit' chant. The finish came when Supreme tried to whip Webb to the ropes, only to have it reversed into a lockup, with Webb nailing the Welfare Check onto a chair which Supreme had set up, for the pinfall. Post match, Webb, bloody but victorious, climbed the turnbuckle, making belt motions around his waist.

Winner: Johnny Webb

I've been quietly following this one since the inception, and although I'm not familiar with the XPW experience apart from reading a few reports and seeing the odd match on YouTube, I'm really enjoying this diary. Your writing is, as always, top notch, and you've been able to make a shorter, recap-based style seem just as entertaining and informative, if not more so, than the longer, blow-by-blow show reports that so many people use.

Loving the Dinero/Machete fued, hopefully you'll do the right thing next week and keep the belt and girl on Dinero, as the International Super Stud = RATINGS~! Dinero requesting the match with Kaos, to give himself some credibility by beating the most recognisable TV champion in XPW history, was a really good touch and the match itself would've been very hot indeed.

Looking forward very much to the title tournament, some great names in there that you're pushing, and I wouldn't want to pick a winner at this stage, although I'd hope you'd put it on Kaos or Credible, as they're both over and can go in the ring and on the mic, which is always helpful.

Really enjoying this, DMN.

[TheRaySays]

Wow. This is still firing on all cylinders.

I scan the list of entrants and... Sonny Siaki?! I guess this must've been around the time of the Urban Wrestling Alliance. Man, that shit was wack. I wouldn't mind seeing him in XPW, tho, as he can work when he has a mind to.

Sign spotted in crowd: "IF WEBB JOBS, WE RIOT"

I doubt we'll hear from Glenn Spectre again. That poor, poor bastard. I've always wondered, does Pogo use lye or does he kick it old school and go with flensing beetles?

You need to trademark the term "extreme clusterfuckery." LOL. TNA might think they know what that is, but they've got nothin' on XPW!

Loser leaves XPW, eh? I guess Project: Machete is about over and he's on his way out. Can't really see how you swerve us on that one unless Dinero comes back as The Masked Gigolo or some other old school gimmick shit.

And the main event was superb. Everything we needed to give Supreme AND Johnny Webb that prime TV time. It just made sense for Webb to go over since he's in the title chase, but it kept Supreme strong.

Can't wait for the next show and a loser leaving town.

[TOG]

The obvious point of interest for that show was the Kaos/Dinero match, which I enjoyed thoroughly, mostly for Machete slapping the shit outta Shelly.

The main event was nice, but it seems like being limited to such a short show has you tossing in main eventers whenever you can just to get them air time before the tournament. Not unrealistic, so it's not a bad thing, but still quite noticeable. Hopefully once the tournament is done things can start to pan out more nicely.

XPW TV

September 25th, 2006

Filmed at the XPW Arena, Los Angeles, Ca.

Hosted by Kriss Kloss and Larry Rivera

I Disappear welcomes us to the last XPW TV before Reign in Blood, where XPW will crown its first World Heavyweight Champion in nearly three years. As the montage fades into the studio, Kloss and Rivera welcome us to another hour of the most violent, degrading, entertaining hour of television this side of skin-e-max. With the introduction and the run-down of the card out of the way, Kloss fufills his promise from last week, announcing first the initial two entrants into the King of the Deathmatch, which, predictably, are two XPW stars, Supreme and 'The Hardcore Homo' Angel! He then reminds fans that tickets are still available for Reign in Blood, this Saturday at the Grand Olympic Auditorium, before revealing the brackets, all in a nifty graphic on screen which my horrendous paint skills will not allow me to duplicate, thus leading to this entirely unflattering text:

Kaos

Jonny Storm

Johny Webb

Sonny Siaki

Jamal Fatu

Vic Grimes

Dan Maff

Justin Credible

With Kaos and Jonny Storm facing off in the opening round, its convinent that both men appear on the show tonight, in seperate matches, and Kloss announces that Rob Black has banned ANY member of The New Enterprise from ringside during Kaos' bout with Smokey Carmichael, except Carmichael himself, as Kaos gets a chance for some revenge from last week. With that said, we go into our first match of the night, Jonny Storm versus XPW newcomer Chance Prophet, but not before some hype for the biggest main event in XPW TV history, as Julio Dinero will be defending his XPW World Televison Title against Machete for the last time, as the winner will walk away with the gold, the girl, and his job, with the loser getting the fuck out of XPW!

[Commercial Break]

Chance Prophet is already in the ring, and the strange young man, the face painted, self-proclaimed 'Messenger from God', is knelt before the turnbuckle, praying. As he rises, the music of The New Enterprise, C.R.E.A.M. by The Wu-Tang Clan for anyone wondering, sounds out, as Jonny Storm makes his entrance, flanked by GQ Money and the always lovely, but probably a bitch, Valentina. Storm opens up the match with a vicious slap to the face, and Chance Prophet turns the other cheek, only for that one to get slapped too. Apparently thats enough for him to forget his Psalms, as he fires back, but Storm has it scouted, and the two engage in a catch as catch can match, with Storm controlling most of the tempo thanks to timely interference and distraction by Money and Valentina at ringside. Prophet is able to get a measure of offense, as this isn't entirely one-sided, and at one point goes up and over the ropes, crashing all three members of The New Enterprise at ringside into the guardrail, prompting GQ Money to demand that Valentina is helped to the back, which allows Storm to blindside a distracted Prophet with a chair. Storm rolls Prophet up in a la majistral, but it only gets two, before he drops him with a DDT. With Prophet staggered, Storm heads up top, nailing Kaos' old trademark, a Blockbuster, to get the pinfall victory. Afterwards, GQ Money enters the ring and aids Storm in kicking Prophet out, before cutting a short promo running down Kaos, and promising a Storm victory at Reign in Blood. All in all, not a bad match, and Chance Prophet may have a future in XPW, if he can overlook where the money he's getting paid is coming from, that is.

Winner: Jonny Storm

51,35,80

After the match, we get some pre-taped hype for Storm/Kaos, with interviews from GQ Money and Kaos himself. The video features many highlights of the original run of The Enterprise, with Kaos and GQ Money sharing laughs, among other things. It also shows the two bloody, since this IS XPW. The promos are about what you'd expect, with GQ Money re-iterating that he wanted things to be the way they were, but Kaos is a 'greedy, self-centered, punk bitch', who killed a beatiful thing before it could get started. Kaos explains that, while he loved his time in The Enterprise, its a new day, a new era in XPW, and time to move on. The video ends with shots of both The New Enterprise and Kao standing tall in victory, before showing a face off between Storm and Kaos, obviously taped specifically for the video. A nice segment, but nothing groundbreaking.

[Commercial Break]

Back from break, and Smokey Carmichael is standing in the ring, alone, as his music fades out. Big Slymm has already been sent to the back, after the referee threatened him with the full power of Rob Black. As Smokey bitches at the referee, Rock Superstar hits, bringing out 'The Rock Superstar', one of the franchises of XPW, Kaos. Kaos looks at the fans, who cheer for them, before slapping some hands on the way to the ring. Once in the ring, he gets in Carmichael's face, clearly ready for his chance at some revenge on The New Enterprise, no matter how small. The two square off, and Carmichael gets the early upperhand with a rake of the eyes, but its shortlived, as the crowd gets what they wanted, which is Kaos beating the shit out of Carmichael, from pillar to post. Carmichael is able to mount a small comeback with a dropkick, but its clear that, against Kaos at least, he's out of his element in singles competition, as he gets bloodied by a chair shot, then dropped on the chair, head first, with the Fallen Star crucifix piledriver, to the delight of the fans. Post-match, Slymm rushes out, but he's alone as apparently GQ Money and Jonny Storm have left the building with Valentina, and Kaos brawls with the big man a bit before reversing the Brian Gumble Suplex into a suplex of his own, then sending both members of Black Wallstreet over the ropes with a flying clothesline, leaving Kaos standing tall in the ring heading into Reign in Blood. Kloss announces that, as it was post-pinfall, no action will be taken against Slymm, besides, he got his ass kicked anyway.

Winner: Kaos

49,37,74

The XPW World Tag Team Champions, Mexico's Most Wanted, are in the back, apparently ready to do a Spanish language interview with a newspaper reporter, when Southern Comfort saunter up to them. Chris Hamrick and Tracy Smothers start making vaguely racist remarks, including telling Halloween that he needs to be more careful when he mows the lawn next week, because he broke one of the sprinkler heads. Just when it seems MMW have had about enough, Hamrick and Smothers reveal their true reason for coming up to them, launching into an attack! As the reporter goes scrambling, Smothers tosses Damien 666 into a nearby crate, busting it open, while Hamrick plants right hands into Halloween's head. The final straw, however, is a re-enactment of events from One Night in Lizzy, as Smothers and Hamrick staple the two members of MMW together with a Confederate flag, as Smothers tells the Mexicans 'reciept, mother fucker, comprende?'!

46

[Commercial Break]

With the final commercial break out of the way, its time for the biggest main event in XPW TV history, as Machete is out first, dragging Shelly Martinez behind him, as he puts his XPW career, and her, on the line for one last shot at the title he used to hold, the XPW World Television Title. His opponent, the current reigning and defending champion, 'The International Super Stud' Julio Dinero, is out second, and, unlike his usual flirting demeanor, he's all business, with not only his gold, but his livelihood on the line tonight. The two lock up in what will turn out to be Machete's best match in XPW, but still this is no wrestling classic. Machete controls the opening after a cheap shot, kicking Dinero after asking for a lockup, after a few moments of actual wrestling, the match devolves into a brawl, with neither man wanting to lose his job, and Dinero his title as well. Machete introduces a chair, but its used very little in the middle portion of the match, as the two simply trade kicks and punches in and around the ring, even venturing to the announce area near the entrance, where Machete chokes Dinero with some cables before getting thrown off the elevated platform. In a nice 'Holy Shit' moment, Dinero then leg drops Machete from the top of the table on top of the platform, a height of about ten feet, into a pile of cables and other technical refuse. Dragging the challenger back to the ring, he's suprised by Martinez, but instead of attacking Dinero, she slaps the shit out of Machete, the helps Dinero DDT him on the concrete! With Machete bleeding, Dinero rolls him back into the ring, then grabs a chair, leading to a short fight over it, before Machete takes it. He tries to lay out Dinero, who ducks, then nails the chair to Machete's forehead with a leg lariat, dropping the challenger to the mat. Dinero is about to go for the pin when Martinez slides a table into the ring, pleading with Dinero to use it, and he obliges, setting it up near the ringpost, then dragging Machete over. After some more brawling as he tries to pull the challenger up the turnbuckle, he succeeds in smashing Machete's head into the exposed steel turnbuckle, which Machete had exposed, but not used, in the early going, before sending Machete crashing through the table, and out of XPW, with an avalanche style No Brainer, which gets an XPW chant as Dinero covers! Afterwards, Dinero and Martinez share an embrace, and then a kiss, as Machete is helped to the back, and out of XPW, along with a 'Don't Come Back' chant. I guess he didn't go over so well with the XPW fans.

Winner and STILL XPW World Television Champion... and STILL Employed by XPW: Julio Dinero

46,37,68

The final image of the night is Dinero standing in the ring, holding the XPW World Television Title high in one hand, and Shelly Martinez to his side with the other. On commentary, Kloss hypes Reign in Blood and reminds fans who won't be able to attend that next week's XPW TV will have the recap.

Woo!

It was obvious that Machete would lose, but that was still one hell of a main event. You used Machete well, but in the end, Dinero is much more marketable and likely to go places... plus, he's just sexier. Dinero + Shelly = Sexiest Couple in XPDub.

The Kaos/Enterprise feud is building nicely, and I hope that it never really ends... just kind of goes away for awhile.

[Draevyn]

I just started watching a few XPW matches on Youtube, and I've got 16 dvd's on the way from Ebay, so hopefully I'll be more intuned to XPW. However, without knowing anything about it, I've got to say that I'm enjoying this immensly.

I really like the Mexico's Most Wanted vs Southern Comfort feud, and the obligatory racism from Comfort. It's there, but it's not in your face kind of shit, but maybe that's just the way you're writing them as I haven't seen the real thing.

Really wish Hart would have stuck around as him and Kaos probably could have had some good battles. Again, don't know the full history, but I'm sure it will all come to play here.

Can't wait to see what you do with the Heavyweight Tournament. I "mark" for Credible.

[Xtreme_Wrestler]

Another great show. As for the tourny I would love to see Webb with the belt again. I loved Webbs work in the time he was there. He had funny ass promo's and his ring work was cool. But I have a feeling you're going to tend towards more new school and give it to Justin or possibly Grimes. As for Kaos I expect to see the Enterprise screw him in the tourny.

Considering that you me and a few others are the experts when it comes to XPW knowledge just a side question I noticed a fed from i believe it was Australia or somewhere that was going by xpw now. They even included the old XPW logo on the site. Do you think it is in any way related to the old XPW?

[TOG]

I predict Kaos, Webb, Fatu, and Credible going on. Kaos really needs a win because he's lost, I believe, every Enterprise encounter. Webb will beat Siaki because it's Webb and he's facing Siaki. Grimes and Fatu is difficult to call, I could actually see it going either way. Usually I would say Grimes wins, being an old XPW guy that the crowd loves, but i'm going to go with Fatu because if my other predictions were right and Grimes went on, the crowd would be familiar with everyone going on and no new stars are made. Also, Fatu made his big debut not long ago.

After that, I see the Enterprise screwing Kaos to allow Webb a win and Credible beating Fatu, and then beating Webb in the final.

Regardless, you know I love the diary so far. Sad to see Machete go, but Dinero and Shelly go together quite well, and having her around could really boost Dinero. I am a little confused on when the KOTD is actually happening. I assume it's after RIB? The card for that is pretty packed already.

The MMW/Southern Comfort feud is nothing new really, but it's still nice and entertaining, plus it gets your tag division going and adds depth to the card with the three-way tag which looks to be fun. I expect/hope MMW retains, though.

[JStarr]

lol, america
