Chavo Guerrero Promo
I've been very interested in what you've been doing with Chavo recently, so I know I'll enjoy reading this promo. I liked JR's point of how Chavo is a Guerrero and Guerrero's don't just leave, the commentary was entertaining. I love the dueling chants that you had that fit so well with the promo that was about to go down. I usually just write my thoughts in a review bit by bit but I can safely say I was hooked on this promo and read it all in one go. Because it had me so interested, you made it seem so realistic when Chavo was looking back on his career and what he was going to do and the continuous chants added a lot to that. You know how to show true emotion in a promo and this is a prime example. But then the real Chavo Guerrero shows that it was all a hoax, motherfucker. I love it, Chavo pulling the wool over everyone's eyes and showing his true colours. Vickie coming out to reason with Chavo is cool. Chavo bowing and taking his leave with a furious Vickie following him was a great ending along with Cole's video. Amazing promo, from top to bottom. I really enjoyed reading it.
Kendrick/Riley Promo
I'm not really sure about Kendrick having an assistant, it doesn't really seem like him at all. Having Riley in the promo with him is good to help out the new guy, helping him out with his development in promos. I can already see that Riley is showing some improvements in promo'ing as it's already better than his first one early on. The promo was an entertaining read especially with Kendrick randomly drinking during it, lol. It seems like Riley has improved a lot in promos just by that one promo with your help so good job on that. The content of the promo was good too, covering a good few topics. I'm looking forward to seeing if Kendrick can retain against Sin Cara to keep his spot as the top man in the X-Treme Division. One thing I was unsure about at the end of the promo was is Riley a heel or a face? Him hoping that a Resistance member winning the IC Title isn't very face-like. But nonetheless it was a very good promo.
X-Pac Promo
After the Riley/Kendrick promo that was done I expected this promo to be a bit more longer, but I understand that it's your first promo as X-Pac also. Maybe you should've waited until you found a feud first but it's cool to see you trying so much already. I know if you keep it up your promos will just get better and better so keep it at.
NICKY Promo
As I already told you on MSN last night when I first read this, I loved it. You do so well in capturing Dolph's persona that it makes your promos entertaining throughout. From completely dissing the fans at the start of the promo to talking about your rival from a year ago Ted DiBiase, a feud that never properly ended so it makes sense. He's completely full of himself and you show that greatly, I'm glad that you're active in XWL again and it seems like being Dolph has really motivated you for it again. Fantastic promo, looking forward to seeing who will face you later in the show.

*The camera fades over to Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler who talk about the upcoming matches.*
{Jerry Lawler} Wow, what a night it has been so far and it is far from over!
{Jim Ross} That's right, ladies and gentlemen. The dangerous steel cage is still hanging high above the ring, but it will be lowered soon as "The Viper" Randy Orton will step into this ring surrounded by those steel walls looking to make his long time rival pay when he goes one on one with "Captain Charisma" Christian!
{Jerry Lawler} That will be one of the highlights of this Pay-Per-View. Christian has tried for three months to end Orton's career and he always failed. Randy Orton looks to punt Christian in the skull for what he did to him and especially his wife and his little daughter.
{Jim Ross} It's a horrifying story that these two have. Both men want to end it here tonight and they will do anything possible to send the other man to the hospital.
{Jerry Lawler} Like I said, this match is completely unpredictable! Everything is possible. 2011 is gonna end with a bang when these two step inside this cage for their final battle.
{Jim Ross} Also live here tonight, the Tables, Ladders and Chairs Fatal 4 Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship. The title will be hanging above the ring and 4 men will try anything to reach for it when our World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk looks to retain his Title and walk into 2012 still the World Heavyweight Champion. But that will be no easy task, because he will face 3 other competitors who can't wait to wear that Championship around their waist. The Champion CM Punk will face Macho Man Randy Savage, Justin Gabriel and the Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett.
{Jerry Lawler} John Cena will also have a match here tonight against "The Peoples Champion" The Rock in an I Quit match! I don't know if he is still the champion of those people though.
{Jim Ross} The Rock turned his fans, his supporters to haters, he lost all his fans! In that match John Cena will be the peoples champion and the fans want to see The Rock say the words "I quit", but it's not easy to make a former World Heavyweight Champion say those words. Will The Rock make John Cena quit? Or will John Cena once again define the odds and do the seemingly impossible?
{Jerry Lawler} What a night it is going to be here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This is the last Pay-Per-View of 2011 and it will be historic!!!
*Suddenly the lights turn off as the crowd in Milwaukee goes silent.*
{Jim Ross} What the hell is happening?!
*After seconds of waiting a countdown appears on the titantron, after that a huge pyro blasts off on the stage and the camera fades closer to the Titantron of none other than Chris Jericho as the lights turn back on and the whole audience boos loudly.*
*The crowd starts to boo even louder as Chris Jericho enters the arena.*
{Jim Ross} It's Chris Jericho! We haven't heard anything of him after November to Remember!
{Jerry Lawler} Jericho has returned to XWL and when he walks out in that suit you know he has something to say.
*Jericho continues walking down the ramp with a motionless look on his face as the crowd still gives him alot of heat.*
{Jim Ross} The last time he had a match he faced our World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk in the Main Event of November to Remember.
*Jericho picks up a microphone that's laying on the steel steps and gets into the ring walking a few steps forward to stare at the audience in Milwaukee.*
*His Theme song fades as the crowd boos once again as Jericho rises the mic to his mouth.*
{Chris Jericho} The reason why I have been gone for nearly a month now, is because I needed a break. I needed a break from all of you hypocrites here tonight and the fact that I'm already sick to my stomach, right now, because of all of you people proves my point that you people do not deserve to be here to watch this very event. You people do not have the class to be at a event like this and be a part of history. But since I don't make the rules around here I just want to inform each and everyone of you parasites that I despise you more than ever. Some of you hypocrites have asked me with their annoying voice "Hey Chris, why is there no merchandise of Chris Jericho in the XWL shop or anywhere else?". I just stared at those guys and then I walked away because I don't want to waste one word on people like that. If you people actually had something in your head other than hot air you would understand that none of you people are worthy enough to represent or cheer for the legend that is Chris Jericho.
*The crowd boos loudly as Jericho continues his speech.*
{Chris Jericho} When I walked down to this ring last month, at November to Remember, I was determined to beat CM Punk and once again become the World Heavyweight Champion. But somehow CM Punk managed to defeat me and I found out why he did just that. It's because of you people. I blame all you people for my loss at November to Remember, because you cheered for someone who does not deserve to be the World Champion. I should have been the World Champion by the end of that night and it's your fault that many Superstars in the back have to bear misery because XWL still has no worthy World Champion. We have a World Champion who claims to be the best in the world when he's not. He had to steal that one from me, but that doesn't matter. I am still the best in the world today, and CM Punk's lucky victory over me isn't changing anything about that. Earlier on I went to the office of Redemption's General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, and I demanded another opportunity to face CM Punk for the World Championship, but I did not get that. But what I got was the very scandal of the year when Vickie Guerrero informed me that I was staged into a new division, the division that compeats in several matches... so they might earn a Championship match after several months. A Championship match.... for the United States Championship...
*The crowd cheers loudly as they hear that Jericho got staged into the US Division. Jericho stares several seconds at the audience with an angered look on his face while the crowd cheers and chants "Jericho sucks".*
*A half minute later Jericho rises the mic and speaks again.*
{Chris Jericho} That was the very shock of my life when Vickie Guerrero told me that. I told her that it had to be a mistake, but Vickie said it's not and she could not do anything about it. So, here I am, in a divison of Superstars I never heard of. I look at you people right now and see you laughing and making fun of me, but trust me when I say that I will be the one laughing at the very end. No one would buy tickets for Redemption if I wasn't compeating in the Main Event. It makes me sick knowing that failures like Justin Gabriel or Ted DiBiase, who looks even more pathetic wearing that christmas hat, are still allowed to compeat in Main Events. XWL needs me in the Main Event and trust me when I say that I will get there again soon enough, but for now I have to realize that I am stuck in this division, and I have to make the best thing out of this situation.
{Chris Jericho} You see, I've been compeating in Main Events for so long that I totally forgot that this division even existed, but when I look at the division now I know why I couldn't remember it. The United States belt isn't worth anything anymore. The former United States Champion, Kevin Steen, looked like he had his meals at fast food restaurants every day and it's no suprise that the division suffers because of Champions like that. But we have a new Champion now and his name... is Shawn Michaels.
*The crowd bursts out in cheers as they hear Jericho saying Michaels' name. Jericho shakes his head looking at the crowd as fans behind him raise a HBK sign.*
*Jericho looks down to the floor and smiles continueing to speak.*
{Chris Jericho} Many of you people say that Shawn Michaels is a legend. I want to say something to these very people who are that stupid to think about something like that. Shawn Michaels is and will never be a legend. He doesn't have what it takes to be called a legend. He may always pleased you people. He always tries to sell his merchandise because he wants each and everyone of you people to represent him. You parasites are Shawn Michaels' heart and soul and you people say that XWL would never be the same if Shawn Michaels' left. I say XWL would be better if he left so you people could finally take a closer look at reality and idolize me for the legend that I truely am!
{Chris Jericho} I hope that Shawn Michaels survives Kevin Steen tonight and retains his Title so it comes down to Chris Jericho versus Shawn Michaels for the United States Championship and it will also prove who the better man really is. Me, Chris Jericho! It doesn't matter if Shawn Michaels wins here tonight or not, fact is that I will become the United States Champion whether you hypocrites like it or not. I will bring back the prestige that has been missing for so long now back to the United States Championship and there is no one of those no-names in the back who can stop me from reaching that goal. I am Chris Jericho and I am the best in the world at what I do and my will is stronger than any other will that these nobodies are carrying in their minds. Vickie Guerrero does not have to worry about this division any longer. You people do not have to worry about undeserving and ungrateful Champions any longer. From now on consider this whole division and the United States Championship, saved.
{Chris Jericho} 2012 is in a few days and people wish so many things for the new year, peace on earth, healthiness and such. I only have just one wish. In 2012 I want this world to be filled with less hypocrites like all of you and more people by the likes of me, the great Chris Jericho. I want to wish none of you people a Happy New Year except for my wife and my children. I promise my family that 2012 will be the year of Chris Jericho... because Redemption is nothing without the true "Best in the World".
*Jericho lowers his mic as his theme blasts off while the crowd reacts with heat towards Jericho.*
{Jerry Lawler} What a statement by Chris Jericho!
{Jim Ross} Chris Jericho now has to go for the United States Championship.
*Jericho climbs out of the ring and slowly walks up the ramp.*
{Jerry Lawler} One thing is for sure, Chris Jericho sure as hell is an enrichment for the US divison.
{Jim Ross} This man will be dangerous for anyone who steps in the ring with him.
{Jerry Lawler} Ladies and Gentlemen, this Pay-Pew-View keeps getting better. Chris Jericho has officially returned to XWL.
*The camera fades as Jericho makes his way to the back.*

*As the Intercontinental Championship match comes to a close, the fans sit in their seats waiting for the show to go on. But all of a sudden, Edge appears on the titantron and begins to speak.*
[[Edge]] First of all, I'd like to wish everyone in attendance and everyone watching at home a Merry Christmas. It's that time of year again, Christmas and what can I say, I'm in the Christmas Spirit. While there's nothing better then spending the day with your friends and family, it's just as fun spending it with your fans or as I'd like to call all of you, my Edgeheads. As most of you know, Christmas is about giving and it would be kinda hard to give every single one of my Edgeheads their own gift so how about this. Tonight in honor of my family, friends and fans, I go out to that ring and I make sure that Rhodes' mouth is finally shut. His mouth has been running on and on for weeks now and every time his voice is heard, he either does one of two things. One, make my wrestling career on Breakdown along the lines of heel which hasn't been done yet even though I was put in Handicap Matches, one on one matches with my best friend and nearly fired. Things have been good because Rhodes forgot about one man and that one man is Mick Foley!
[[Edge]] Now moving on to number two which is make enemies and Myself, Foley, HBK and many other superstars know what it's like to be and enemy of Mr. Cody Rhodes himself. It's actually fun in my opinion becuse the past few weeks I've had some really fun matches like Tyson Kidd & The Brian Kendrick versus myself. That was fun because the fact that I got to beat up and basically destroy two Resistance members felt great until I was attacked from behind by Kendrick while going against Tyson. I lost but who cares, it was still a fun contest and that's all that matters. Things came around though when I faced Christian two weeks later and I did what I said I would do back around November to Remember and in-case you don't remember what I said, let me remind you.
[[Edge]] I said "Pay Back Will Be A Bitch, Christian" and I'm assuming payback was a bitch because guess who got pinned after being hit by the Killswitch? The logical answer would be Edge but that answer would be wrong because I took it upon myself to steal his finisher and beat him with it like I said I would. And to my knowledge, Christian hasn't been seen since that happened, well he might of by I can't remember seeing him at all. Sorry Captain, but your ship has been sunk. Moving back onto the topic of Cody Rhodes. Cody tonight I have a feeling that your not going to like the outcome of tonights match after I Spear you, and spear you, and spear you as many times as I want until I'm done or the referee forces me to stop. I'll bring the chairs in and rest your head on one then have another chair come slamming down make your head into a sandwich. Otherwise known as a Con-Chair-To.
[[Edge]] But knowing you Rhodes, your going to have your Resistance members, or whats left of them, watching this match closely. Tyson just got put through a burning table so I don't think he's going to help and Kendrick's fate is still waiting to be decided when he goes one on one with the Mexican Sensation, Sin Cara. Hero has been out which only leaves Layla. I don't see much help coming from that line up, Cody. So I suggest you stop singing your Christmas Carols and start preparing for our match because your going to need to be ready because I am bringing my A Game. And if going 110% doesn't work...
[[Edge]] Then I'm going to have to ask Jolly Old Saint Mick for a special present this year. I'm going to ask for something that usually consist of a shaft made out of wood with a pointed head. What is that called again? Oh yeah, A Spear!
*The titantron fades to black as we fade to commercial break.*

**We return from commercial break and we are with the commentary team of Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole.**
J.R: Folks, welcome back to the last show of the of 2011 Xtreme Xmas, where we have witness a couple of brutal matches. We just witnessed before the commercials, Wade Barrett retaining his Intercontinental Title against Tyson Kidd.
King: And what a match it was J.R, I mean it could of gone either way, it was damn brutal, I mean Tyson had that Sharpshooter locked......
Cole: Who cares, Wade got out and finished that punk Kidd off in no time. But what I enjoyed tonight was Shawn Michaels getting a good ol' beating....
J.R: But Cole, he won, he won the damn match....
Cole: Yeah, but he still was lucky to come out of the match, plus he has to face Kevin Steen later tonight to defend his title in a ladder match. I hope that Shawn can keep the title just because that fat ass Steen shouldn't be in this damn company. All in all, the title should be vacated by Shawn to save him getting injured and maybe give the title to someone who is worthy, maybe someone like....
King: Shut Up Cole!! Shawn is a deserving champion and he will have a tough match with Steen later tonight who has showed that he is more than capable of being our champion, and we understand Kevin Steen is backstage right now so there we go.
Cole: TWITTER #BANSTEENBAN TREND IT NOW!!!!!
**Just as Cole finishes his protest to get Steen out of XWL we are with that man right now, "Mr Wrestling" Kevin Steen. Steen is sat at a table looking dead into the camera. A few moments pass with Steen just staring at the camera before he starts to talk.**
Kevin Steen: Merry Christmas XWL Universe, Merry FUCKING Christmas!!! I thought I would do the usual pre match shit and have a interview or should I say me just talking because no-one wants a dumb ass interviewer like Todd Grisham or Josh Matthews taking screen time. So what have I got to say?I bet your all wondering what Kevin Steen has to say tonight. I mean what else have I got to say, is there any point of this screen time I am taking up. Well there is a point, I mean every time I speak, everyone stops, shuts up and goddamn listens and you ask why?? Because I am unpredictable, I could start talking about the shitty weather, I could talk about the XWL owner, I could talk about how the catering here has got worse since ol' Betty got fired for sucking Michael Cole off. I mean damn Cole, its enough you sucking twitter off with your mention of it every 5 fucking minutes, but now you trying to ruin my catering experience. Anyway what I trying to say is that I can and I will say whatever I damn well feel like and no fucker will stop me. Tonight I have chance to regain something that I was basically stripped of in a screw-job fashion. The United States Championship, the title that I took from Mike, then I beat every ass that was put in my way. But then I was put in a match, actually I was put in the middle of a lover's tiff, between two big-ego fucktards who want to be the top of this company and let the greats of this company stay at the bottom.
Kevin Steen: Well, I got my title taken off me by Shawn Michaels, yeah you all know him, he is the one you have seen on your TV screen non-stop since the 80s. From the days of "doing" his sexy boy impressions with that Sherri Martel, then to forming the "kliq" and trying to run shit and blah blah blah. I have actually decided to stop that boring history lesson because well who gives a fuck. All you need to know is that I am going to climb the "ladder" in XWL, tonight I am going to climb that ladder to take back my United States Championship and tonight I am going to take that control back. Vickie, I know that you have always hated the fact I was one of the champions representing your show and you hated it, you despised it and you just wanted me gone. Well at November 2 Remember you got your wish, well half of your wish and that was me no longer the US Champ. But Vickie, but I was not going, I was not going to crawl back and take a back seat. I will not take a back seat, I will do what I fucking want and with that Vickie, enjoy the match tonight when I take the sexy boy and throw him down the ladder and back into insecurity that is his wrestling career.
Kevin Steen: Before I go get my fat ass ready, I still got a few things to say. Last Week's Redemption you saw the future, you saw what will happen when I climbed that ladder with the title held high. That is what will happen tonight. But if in some fucktards ass I happen to lose this match well, well.....
Kevin Steen: FEAR KEVIN STEEN!!!!!! FEAR THE ANTI-CHRIST!!!!
FUCK OFF!!!!
**Kevin Steen flips the bird then gets up and leaves the room, before coming back in and going right up close to the camera and starts to laugh as we fade to a video package hyping up the main event.**
**The familiar theme of Dolph Ziggler hits for the first time during this PPV yet it's not the first time he's made his presence felt. The crowd once again break into boo's and jeers aimed at this hated superstar. Dolph shoves his way through the curtain and makes his way out onto the stage. He stands in the center, starting around at the crowd before doing his signature hair flick taunt and starting to make his way down towards the ring.**
**Dolph paces down the ramp smirking as fans at the barricades shout at him in displeasure.**
**He begins to walk towards the steps at the left of the ring but suddenly turns and quickly makes his way towards the right side of the ring, shouting "perfection" at the fans facing that side of the ring.**
**Dolph jumps towards the ring apron and grabs onto the second rope, from there he pulls himself up and stands with a cocky stance on the apron, staring at the audience mimicking them, before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Once in the ring, Dolph walks paces back and forth a few times before walking towards the announce table and stopping at the ropes. He reaches his arm out of the ring requesting a microphone. Now with microphone in hand, Ziggler steps back into the center of the ring and begins to speak.**
[Dolph Ziggler] Alright, get out here, whoever you are.
**Silence fills the arena as the fans wait in anticipation to see which of their fan favourites will finally stand up to Dolph Ziggler and face him one on one in just a minute. After only about two or three seconds, Dolph can be heard lifting his mic again and saying "hold it, hold it." The crowd look on in confusion, wondering what's going on.**
[Dolph Ziggler] Hold up just a sec. I've got another idea, INSTEAD of the open challenge that I offered earlier. You see I'm a smart guy, hell I'm a genius. So here's what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna save my own time AND yours by putting an end to this charade. We all know that nobody is gonna come out here tonight to try to beat me. What's the point? The outcome would clearly be inevitable, so why waste my time waiting for a no-show, when I could be out here doing one of the things I do best, talking. There have been few people over history that have been truly great. Y'know, those kind of people that when they talk, you sure as hell listen. And you feed on their every word. I'm one of those people. When I speak, I speak truth.. and the fact that you people can't handle that truth, and that you boo me for it.. well that just makes what I do ten times better.
[Dolph Ziggler] Let's not bother with the lies tonight. Let's not bother with the boo's and jeers. I enjoy them, you know I do.. but, do you people not get tired of being such hypocrites? You "loathe" what you love. I am what you aspire to be. Now, I don't blame you for that, who could? Aaaanyway, I'm gonna cut the "I'm better than you" stuff, although it's true. I'd call it generic stuff, but it's not generic, it's.. common for me to say. Not a thing that comes out of my mouth is ever generic, just like the fact that not a single move I do in this ring is generic. But who am I to tell you? You get to see me EVERY week! My god you're lucky!
[Dolph Ziggler] So right now, I'd like to talk in a simpler tone. But let me clarify this, I'm not dumbing myself down for any of you "people". I wouldn't dream of it, I wouldn't in a million years change who I am to please any of you.. nah, I've been down that path before. At one stage, I tried to be a nice guy. You know, having locker room etiquette, shaking people's hands, being nice to people. And where did that get me? Absolutely nowhere. I've learned that the only way to get things done, is MY way. As they say, it's my way or.. the hi- ...I'm kidding, I'd never use such an embarrassing over-used phrase that sums up the lifeless losers of the 90's. It's my way, simple as. There's no alternative.
[Dolph Ziggler] Well I mean, there IS an alternative. But from what I hear, lying in the middle of this ring, broken and bruised, gasping for air, in a pool of your own blood isn't a pleasant way to spend a night. I wouldn't know, I don't usually break a sweat in my matches, let alone get hurt. Mere mortals get hurt, and I'm.. well I'm just not like that. Some would go as far to say that I'm controlled by a greater power, that there's really no other explanation. I've got an explanation, I've got THE explanation. I AM the greater power. As I've told you all before, there's the group that is the XWL locker room, then there's me alone on my pedestal. Setting the standard, changing history, making a difference each and every week.
[Dolph Ziggler] I arrived here quite some time ago, I'll admit that. But for the first section of my career both here in XWL and in the wrestling industry in general, I didn't do very much.. I was just a passer-by in the eyes of most. But in a matter of weeks, I went from a nobody, to one of the greatest, if not the greatest star in wrestling today. I'm on magazines, I'm on posters, I'm in videos, I'm being mentioned by every person who deems themselves worthy of saying my name. I've become more than an icon, I've become the best. For most men, this would be more than enough to cement their place in history, but it's not even nearly enough for me. I'm going to continue to rise up, continue to kick ass, and before the blink of an eye, I'll be your new Intercontinental Champion.
[Dolph Ziggler] I'd say that anybody who has a problem with that or a problem with me could come down here and say it to my face, but as we've all witnessed, clearly nobody in XWL has the balls to stand up to me, to stand up to perfection. So to sum it up for everybody tonight.. YOU'RE WINNER.. IS DOLPH ZIGGLER.
[Dolph Ziggler] Oh, and one last thing. For anybody who thinks that they're gonna stand up NOW and be a man.. I'm still all for it. To quote a great man.. Take your best shot. Give it all you've got, come on.. BRING IT ON.
**Dolph waits a couple of seconds and looks towards the titantron. Nobody appears at the stage, so Dolph smirks and raises his mic for a final time.**
[Dolph Ziggler] ...That's what I thought. Later.
**Dolph throws his mic in the air and watches it as it flies up and then falls, landing on the floor with a thud. He looks back up towards the camera and smiles. Then, he steps back out of the ring once again, and starts slowly walking back towards the stage, clearly happy with himself. The words "hit my music!" can be heard coming from Dolph's mouth as he walks up the ramp.**
**Dolph's music hits once again and plays throughout his journey back towards the locker room. The XWL cameras fade out to commercial.**

After we come back from an advertisement for the New Year's special edition of Breakdown next week, we're taken to a video package recap of what transpired last week on Redemption between Ted DiBiase & Michael McGillicutty. The video shows Ted and Maryse leaning in for a kiss, the moment many expected for quite some time was finally happening all at the cause of a mistletoe held up by DiBiase himself...But suddenly the screen turns black and white as Ted's shoved out of the way and pushed into the lockers where Michael McGillicutty steals the kiss and then runs off leaving a stunned Maryse, and a livid DiBiase takes off after him. Following short clips of just what took place after, we're taken to the point where every fan was horrified...We see Michael and Ted's exchange brought out to the stage, Michael tries to suplex Ted off the stage, but DiBiase fights desperately then tries to return the favor with a Dream Street off the stage in mind! But McGillicutty kicks Ted below the belt, the screen then shows a slow motion effect that turns black and white as Ted, the leader of the DiBiase Posse, and everyone's favorite goofball. Is chucked off the stage with no remorse only pleasure on McGillicutty's face. The sound of Joey Styles shouting "Oh my god!" is replayed several times as many different views of DiBiase's disastrous moment is all we see until it fades out with the last view showing the crowd on their feet as Ted is stretchered out.
We then are taken backstage where the camera crew are near the locker rooms, they seem to be looking for something, and Josh Matthews is with them. They take a few more steps forward, until a shocked gasp is heard, as none other than Ted DiBiase, donning of course a Santa hat, bruises, cuts, and a looney tunes band-aid is shown standing against a wall.
{Josh Matthews} Ted?!
He looks up noticing Josh, then tries to pull himself away from the wall as he gingerly takes a few steps forward holding his lower back in pain.
{Josh Matthews} You're actually here?!
{Ted DiBiase} Uh, yeah. I guess I am.
{Josh Matthews} Shouldn't you be in a hospital?
Ted places his fist against the bottom of his jaw pondering for a second.
{Ted DiBiase} I suppose medically I should, but eh, their food sucks! Have you ever actually tried eating that stuff? Believe me, I tried, but when I put that spoon in that jello, and it didn't jiggle, it instead, as a complete whole, was stuck on my spoon! I instantly knew I had to get out of there, I mean I could've licked it like a damn Popsicle! And what's worse, I asked for a hotdog, you know what they brought me?
{Josh Matthews} No, what?
{Ted DiBiase} This lukewarm, dry as the Sahara desert, with the stalest bread known to man, chicken salad sandwich! Now I like chicken salad sandwiches, but when it blinks at me, that's when I draw the line!
{Josh Matthews} I really don't know how to respond to that...
{Ted DiBiase} Try being me! Then there was this one nurse, she took my blood, she scanned me for x-rays, she checked my temperature, and it wasn't orally! Anyways, so I woke up after finally falling asleep, which by the way, the beds there suck, I could've gotten a better night's sleep on a bed of nails! A sharpened, poisoned, and set on fire, bed of nails! So I wake up, and what is my nurse doing? She's cutting off a lock off my hair?! My gorgeous hair for crying out loud! So I immediately press the help button, another nurse comes in as the other runs out...And do you wanna know something down right creepy?!
{Josh Matthews} I suppose...
{Ted DiBiase} That wasn't even a real nurse!
{Josh Matthews} Um, well sounds like you had the time of your life then...
{Ted DiBiase} The best ever! And I'm really looking forward to showing Michael McGillicutty just how appreciative I am for making that all possible.
{Josh Matthews} We'll get more into your match tonight in just a bit, but first I have a few questions, if you feel up to it that is.
{Ted DiBiase} Sure!
{Josh Matthews} So let's get into your impressive run of victories lately.
A smile comes across his face as Josh mentions that.
{Josh Matthews} How does it feel to have such a hot streak as of late? You've beaten your friend, John Cena...You've pissed off Michael Cole more than perhaps anyone in recent memory by defeating The Miz. And just this past week, you met The Game Triple H in a match which you also managed to pull off a victory while displaying your resiliency that you've become known for. You made mention of it this past week with me, that in your words you feel this is finally it. What did you mean by that?
{Ted DiBiase} It's no secret that I don't exactly have the best track record with title matches, and it's been a personal struggle to find out just what it's been that's kept me from reaching that next level. I mean I'm not being cocky by any means, but it's not as if I can't hang with the best of them. I always get close, oh so close, but yet I'm so far away...I don't have this fancy undefeated streak, I don't have a gazillion title reigns under my belt, and I don't claim to be the best wrestler in the world. What I do have, is heart. Heart for this business, heart for making sure the fans never go home disappointed. That's what matters at the end of the day, you can win as many championships as you want, you can beat whoever you want, but if you can't give the fans their money's worth, then you're not in the right business. They are everything to this industry, they make it possible so that we can live out our dreams, and that's why I can't stand guys like Michael McGillicutty that belittle them.
{Josh Matthews} I don't think your passion can be questioned, you're one of the hardest workers in this company, you give back to the fans in the form of DiBiase Posse Parties, and despite coming up short time after time, you never once blame them unlike a lot of superstars that have been in your position before.
{Ted DiBiase} And I don't do it for the praise or admiration, I do it because it's right. The way I see it, this year has been one big learning experience for me. I've faced off with some of the best XWL has to offer. Defeating The Undertaker, even if he came back just months later with a new shiny toy, that was my defining moment...That was my chance to prove I belonged, that I'm not a failure, I'm a dreamer. The stakes were high, the hatred between us was insane, but in the end, I managed to come out on top. I stood up to someone that told me I wasn't good enough to stand toe to toe with him in the ring, I proved him and others wrong, and that's the message I always want to send to the fans. That they should never let anyone tell them they're not good enough, because they are, everyone has the potential to do something amazing...It's inside us all, and people like that bring it out of you without even realizing it at the time.
{Josh Matthews} It's no doubt been a struggle for you this year, but instead of letting those get to you, you've used them to fuel your motivation that much more. You've clearly soared up to new heights, heights no one saw coming at the beginning of last year, and I wish you luck in the coming year, I know you'll make your DiBiase Posse proud.
{Ted DiBiase} I appreciate it, Josh. Hard to believe how far I've come this year...I was just this naive little goofball that interrupted Wade Barrett's debut...Now, entering 2012, I'd like to think that this year has made me stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to finally reach that figurative brass ring...I'm ready, I know it, my Posse knows it, and soon everyone else will too.
{Josh Matthews} Speaking of Wade, can I get your thoughts on him being involved in the World Heavyweight Championship match tonight? I don't know if you've been following it...
{Ted DiBiase} No, I've been following it. I mean hey just because I've had my hands full with this third generation nuisance that is Michael McGillicutty. Doesn't mean that I haven't kept a close eye on the World Heavyweight Championship and what's been going on with it. First off I wanna wish everyone in that match good luck, yes even Wade...Justin's year has been a year of growth too ya' know? He and I may have started off the year on a sour note, but every decision you make helps you become the person you're destined to be, and I think it's decisions like he made this year that have placed him in such a huge match here tonight. He could leave 2011 as World Heavyweight Champion. That's huge no matter how you look at it.
{Josh Matthews} And what about Randy Savage, Wade Barrett, and CM Punk?
{Ted DiBiase} I didn't mean to single Justin out, it's just we've kinda let bygones be bygones lately and started hanging out again so I guess I'm a little bias in my choice of words...I know it'd mean a lot to Justin and his fans, but I take nothing away from the champion, CM Punk. That dude has worked hard this year in not only proving that he is the best in the world currently, but that he will take on anyone and everyone without hesitation. That's an honorable trait in a champion, he may have had some harsh words for me this year, but I think that was really just trying to get me to open my ears and take criticism from a guy that has made it. Then you've got the legend Randy Savage, I mean what more can you say other than Ohh yeah!!! He's been proving himself for a few months now, he's got an opportunity to rise to the top, and I know he'll take full well advantage of the opportunity at hand tonight. Then we've got Wade Barrett...While he and I may not see eye to eye, there's no one I've really gelled with this year more than Wade. What I mean by that is, in a way we made each other...We butted heads on countless occasions, we tore it up for four months, and during that time we made people take notice of us...We grew as wrestlers during that time, and personally I'd love if he walked out of World Heavyweight Champion tonight. Because I've got my eyes on that title, and what better moment could there be then to win the World Heavyweight Championship from him given our history? But I'm getting ahead of myself here....I know I've gotta work my way back up to the point of a title match, and I'm okay with that.
{Josh Matthews} Now let's move onto your match tonight...You're facing the man that thinks you're an embarrassment to third generation wrestlers everywhere...Can I first get your thoughts on him saying that?
{Ted DiBiase} This from the guy that thinks hashtag fate equals sealed is a good catchphrase.
{Josh Matthews} Touche'
{Ted DiBiase} Oh and let's not forget fear the McGillicutter.
{Josh Matthews} But on a serious note, with what happened this past week on Redemption, clearly tonight is your chance at revenge. Do you think you'll be able to fight through your injuries and keep your focus in tonight's match?
{Ted DiBiase} Uh...Sure, why not! I could go all Kevin Steen right now, believe me it's hard not to...But all that would do is prove that he's gotten in my head. Believe me he knows all the right buttons to push, but by no means has he gotten in this ol' noggin. I'm focussed, I'm ready, and tonight I'm kicking some third generation ass! I know that I'm lucky I'm actually able to be here tonight after what happened this past week...Don't let this tough guy act fool ya' I'm in a lot of pain right now, but I promise you that Michael McGillicutty will be in a whole hell of a lot more pain when I'm done with him.
{Josh Matthews} I do wish you luck in that match, I know it's going to take a Christmas miracle for you to be able to pull off a victory here tonight given your current state, but I know that if anyone can do that it's you.
{Ted DiBiase} That's the plan!
{Josh Matthews} Any final words for Michael McGillicutty before you collide tonight?
{Ted DiBiase} Michael, you've come after my brother, Maryse, and my well being...But don't think for a second that you've beaten me! Because I'm going to teach you a lesson you should've learned a long time ago...And that lesson is as simple as this, when you mess with a bull, you get the horns! Hashtag that, beeitch!
As he says that last word, he follows with a slight grin before the footage fades out.

Following a brief video package featuring none other than Maryse, we are taken backstage, via tron, to find Maryse walking down the backstage halls of XWL, with a confident look apon herself
We hear a few swift steps taken towards Maryse, as she glances to her right, rather surprised, finding Josh Matthews standing eagerly beside her with a mic in his hand
[Josh Matthews] Excuse me, Maryse! Hi, would you mind giving us some thoughts on your upcoming Divas Title match against Eve, AJ Lee, and our Divas Champion Kaitlyn?
Maryse stopped in her tracks, and turned to Josh
{Maryse} My Thoughts? My thoughts are that you should take a breath mint before you try to interview me again.
Josh blushed, obviously embarrassed as Maryse popped her signature hand pose in his face. She began to walk away again as Josh picked up his mic and spoke
[Josh Matthews] Is my breath worse than Michael McGillicutty's?
Josh smiled, feeling confident after what he had said, but his sudden boost of confidence was quickly vanquished as Maryse stopped, and turned around to face him again
{Maryse} Excusez-moi? What did you just say to me?
Maryse stood tall and looked down on Josh intimidatingly, who cowered, nervously avoiding eye contact. Maryse snatched the mic from Josh's hands as he whimpered, shielding his face. Mayrse stood over him and pointing at him as she spoke aggressively
{Maryse} Michael McGillicutty is a disgusting, pathetic, sad excuse for a man. I guess the "perfect" gene began and ended with his father, because I can't find one decent thing about the guy, much less anything "perfect."
Maryse shoved the mic against Josh's chest, as he took it and gathered himself together before continuing the interview
[Josh Matthews] You seem to be very strongly opinionated on Mr. McGillicutty, is there any particular reason for that?
{Maryse} Wouldn't you be the same if he did that to you? Oh wait, you'd probably enjoy it more than I did.
Maryse rolled her eyes and smirked as Josh got uncomfortable
Josh turned red and eventually blew off the harsh comment on his sexuality
[Josh Matthews] So how are things with you and Ted DiBiase? it seems you two are getting extremely close after what he tried to pull last week on Redemption.
Maryse paused and laughed to herself before answering
{Maryse} I don't see the big deal? I mean, we're just friends, he was obviously just being his humorous self, what's the harm in that?
[Josh Matthews] It's just that, not many "friends" attempt to kiss each other under the mistletoe.
{Maryse} But we didn't.
[Josh Matthews] But you wanted to.
{Maryse} Didn't!
[Josh Matthews] Wanted to!
{Maryse} Shut up!
[Josh Matthews] Wante-.. Okay.. Onto your Divas Championship fatal 4 way match tonight, who do you think has the odds in their favor, going into this match?
{Maryse} Josh, what kind of a question is that? If you don't already know my answer than you don't deserve to be interviewing me right now.
Maryse grabbed hold of the top of the mic, and aimed it towards Josh, as he looked cautiously and bent down, muttering into the mic
[Josh Matthews] .. You?
{Maryse} Correct! Very good Josh Matthews.
Maryse petted his head as if he were a puppy
{Maryse} As a wise man once said, "Whenever Maryse is in a match, you have to like her chances." Oh wait, that wasn't a wise man, it was Scott Stanford.
Maryse laughed mockingly, placing her hand on Josh's shoulder
{Maryse} The point is Josh, I will win no matter who you put me against. I've already defeated Eve, I haven't had the chance to compete against AJ just yet, but I mean, c'mon, my miniature pinscher could take on that pipsqueak. I've been here longer than any of these divas, surely I have the upper hand.
[Josh Matthews] Uh, Maryse.. I couldn't help but notice that you failed to mention a very key competitor in your match here tonight, our Divas Champion Kaitlyn.
Maryse looked irritated and sighed
{Maryse} Okay, so I lost to Kaitlyn a few moths ago, so what? In case you haven't noticed Josh, I'm at the top of my game. I haven't missed a PPV match card since I returned, I'm on the arm of my friend Ted DiBiase every week, while simultaneously taking out Eve nearly every week on Redemption. I'm better than ever Josh, and if anyone's going to walk out Divas Champion tonight, it's going to be me.
[Josh Matthews] You seem to be very confident in your abilities, Maryse. Normally in Fatal 4 Way matches, teams may temporarily be formed, with AJ and Kaitlyn being best friends, how do you think you and Eve will cope?
{Maryse} Ugh, Eve. Josh, I will not "team up" with Eve Torres, and I don't need to. I'm in this match for a reason, and it's because I earned my spot in the title shot picture. Anybody can run around backstage with a microphone in a knock-off suit from men's warehouse and ask people questions. Me,on the other hand, what I do takes skill, and talent. Sure those other divas are talented, I mean, look at Kaitlyn, she's our Divas Champion, not saying it was a fluke or anything..
Maryse mumbled sarcastically
{Maryse} But she's got talent, they all do. The thing is Josh, all of them combined are not even as talented as me. You see Josh, back in Montreal, we have a little saying.. Aller pour l'or. Which basically means, I'm going to win tonight, and I'm going to look good doing it.
Maryse smirked and walked away from Josh as he looked on and uttered somewhat confusingly
[Josh Matthews] .. Uh, thank you for your time..?
The screen goes dark once more as Maryse walks off in the distance, leaving a damaged and insecure Josh Matthews alone in the hallway
*The XWL Cameras head backstage to a place where we see Mason Ryan outside standing in front of a brick building. Mason Ryan is facing the camera and appears about ready to begin speaking. The camera can almost feel the anticipation coming from Mason Ryan for his match later on tonight with the Celtic Warrior; Sheamus.*
[[Mason Ryan]] Well well well, last week the Opposition all split up. Both Riley and Hawkins turned their backs on the faction that had been designed to build all of us up. Do you think this hurts me in any way? No it doesn't because I can just go back to destroying people week in and week out like I did before the Opposition. Hawkins, you made the biggest mistake going solo because hey, I'm not gonna help you anymore. I'm not gonna be there when one of you can't make your match to take on my own opponent and yours. You were never there for me Hawkins, and I didn't need you. Ditching me? It's like Robin ditching Batman. I'm going to go on to defeat opponent after opponent and win titles in this company while you're going to become yesterday's news. You're going to be remembered as the man who Mason Ryan let tag along with him for awhile. It's funny Curt because you thought the Opposition was all about you, you even picked out our name. But the thing is it was never about you, it was about me. I was the shining star and I just kept the little planets orbiting around me to show how much better I really was.
[[Mason Ryan]] Curt, Riley, you're going to learn soon that it's my time here in the XWL. I don't need to bother with either of them anymore, they're what was last week, they're not my concern anymore because if I was going to fight with them because they "hurt my feelings" and now I want revenge for them abandoning me, I'd be losing time to fight the real men I came to XWL to fight. I came to fight the men who are here winning championships and getting the spotlight that so many other superstars deserve. I'm here to show the world that you don't need to have a big name to be a great wrestler. Do you know who is a great wrestler? Mason Ryan is! And how many people know the name of Mason Ryan? I'd bet less people know who he is than Sheamus, but what happened when Sheamus stepped into the ring with Mason Ryan? Sheamus got his ass kicked. I pinned Sheamus to the mat time and time again and now this week under Extreme Rules I'm going to pin him to the mat for the final time.
[[Mason Ryan]] Because I'm not wrestling for just myself at this Pay Per View. I'm wrestling to show that just because my name isn't John Cena or CM Punk, or The Rock or any of those other big name superstars that I can still defeat any damn superstar on this roster. I'm wrestling to show Curt Hawkins that even without him or Alex Riley I'm still going to kick the ass of any man put in front of me. I want to show that I don't need anyone to help me dominate because I do it alone. I dominate for myself, by myself, with myself, and then when I'm done doing that I'm still able to help someone else dominate as well. That's all Opposition was. It was me helping two other people, and now that I'm no longer there for them, I guarantee they'll begin to fall. In fact, I believe Alex Riley has already taken a little bit of a dip from where he was when I was at his side. But I don't need to prove to all of you that I am better than the two members who left me, I'll show you tonight when I walk out victorious against the very man who at one time reigned over XWL holding the most valuable possesion; The World Heavyweight Championship.
[[Mason Ryan]] And speaking of championships, there's one championship that I want to hold soon here in XWL. And that's not the World Heavyweight Championship because I have to show all of you that I can handle everyone in the United States division first before I can take on everyone in the World Division. That's right, I want to win the United States championship. I bet no one wants me as the champion, but in reality there's nobody better to hold the title than me. Our three top contenders for it as of late have been a fatass, Kevin Steen. Steen can't even spell championship so why should he be able to win one? All the guy does is swear and piss people off, I mean honestly, if I wanted someone who was fat, lazy, and swore all the time, I'd go to one of those trailer parks and get the first man I saw. And then next we have the most annoying fruity pebble I've ever seen. John Cena... Cena does win a lot of matches, but he's not even an entertainer. We're in the business of Sports Entertainment, yet, the one thing Cena doesn't do is entertain! Cena has got to be the most boring person in this entire company, he can win all the matches and cut all the promos he wants, and that wouldn't change the fact that he's boring one bit. And then last up we have the United States Champion himself, HBK. HBK of course is old, he's past his prime. HBK five years ago as United States Champion? Great, he was one of the best in the business! But we're about to head into the year 2012, and do you know when Shawn Michaels started his career? It was all the way back in the 1980s! That's almost thirty years ago, and he still wins championships? I don't think so. I think if I got to face him I'd walk out the winner because it's clear to me the only reason he has that title is because he got to face the one man as old as he is, Triple H, and that guy who probably can't even touch his own toes when he bends down, Kevin Steen.
[[Mason Ryan]] Anyways. As you have probably noticed, I am not inside the arena at the moment. Instead, I'm outside the arena but I bet none of you know why. You see, we were able to find that valet who crashed my car a few weeks back, and well, me and Derrick Bateman over there who I'm sure you all remember, are going to give this punk the kind of ass kicking he deserves.
*The camera scrolls a little bit to where we now see Derrick Bateman come into view, Bateman, who was released from XWL, is holding a small man who you can see has a name plate on him revealing his name to be Antonio. It's a wonder how Antonio got all the way from Connecticut where the car was crashed to Wisconsin now, but somehow he did it. Antonio tries to break free of Bateman and he does temporarily and runs for his car. Antonio however, is much slower than Derrick Bateman and Bateman is able to catch him just as Antonio tries to unlock the door to the car. Bateman pins Antonio to the car and screams in his face.*
[Antonio] It wasn't me!
*Bateman doesn't believe him but it's none of his business because this is between Mason and the valet. Bateman allows Mason to walk over and allow him to grab Antonio as Bateman walks away from the scene. Antonio begs for mercy but Mason wants to give him none. Mason lifts Antonio up as high as he can by the neck and throws him directly into the car! Antonio's head hits the side of the car and the window cracks but Mason Ryan isn't satisfied with just a crack in the window. Mason lifts Antonio from where he had fallen on the ground and throws him face first through the window. Mason Ryan opens the car door now and removes the valet from inside the car. Ryan throws the Valet to the ground and places his head between the places it on the buttom part of the car when you would step to get into the car. Mason Ryan slams the car door closed and a loud thud is heard, no one knowing if the valet could have even survived that... But wait, Mason Ryan isn't done! Mason Ryan lifts the bloodied valet from the ground not satisfied with him yet, Mason lifts the valet to the front end of the car and then hops on it himself. Mason Ryan stands up the valet and grabs him in a full nelson! Ryan wrenches on the full nelson and slowly backs him up to the center of the car where the moon roof is. Once above the moon roof, Mason Ryan lifts up Antonio and sends him back first through the center of the car. Mason looks down and a sinister smile crosses his face. Mason begins to shout to the camera from his spot on top of the car.*
[[Mason Ryan]] You see this Sheamus? Our match tonight is in Extreme Rules, so if I were to say, do the same thing to you, it'd be completely legal! And trust me, I don't plan on doing that to you. I plan on doing something much worse to you! Because this valet, he only destroyed a possession of mine. But you, you're trying to destroy a value of mine. You want to beat me and show that I'm really no good, you want to take everything away from me that I've worked for. If you had the option to end my career or let it continue, you would end it. And I'm not going to let you do any of that. I've worked too hard, and too long for me to allow you to. And Sheamus, you're not going to either. Because you just can't handle... Mason Ryan.
*Mason Ryan begins to laugh a little to himself at the thought of destroying Sheamus before he fades off the screen and we head to a video package for The Awesome One; The Miz!*

*XWL returns from a video for Daniel Bryan and the Cameras cut outside to see Justin Gabrel*
[Interviewer] Justin, I'm just wanting your thoughts on the main event tonight,Where you will Face, CM Punk,Macho Man and ofcourse Wade Barrett in a TLC match for the World heavyweight Championship. Many people have writen you off before this match even begins. How do you rate your chances?
[Justin Gabriel] Well, People have written me off my entire career. I've never been the guy people expecet to win. It's like whatever match I go into, People always write me off. Back in The Corre, people never saw me as a legit threat.. They just saw me as some guy feeding off Wade's success. I've made points of proving them people wrong. Let's face it, a year ago I was wrestling in dark matches against people who couldn't even cut it in this company. and I was losing, No matter how hard I worked, or how much I tried I couldn't pick up a win against anybody. When I look back at that, I guess it's no wonder people write me off. But ever since then, I've proven myself to everybody who doubted me. Sure, Wade helped me become United States Champion... but It was me alone who defended that title against AJ Styles and Kevin Steen. Wade wasn't around when I was picking up what people dubbed shock wins, and I built my way to the top. I wasn't handed anything, I worked for everything I've had in this company.
[Justin Gabriel] I've worked my ass of for chance like I have tonight. I'm in what will be the biggest match of my career and I have a chance at becoming World Heavyweight Champion. Sure, I had that chance at Eye for an eye... But I'll admit it, I wasn't ready for it and it showed. But, I believe now that I'm ready for this. I'm ready to take the next step in my career, I'm so close to top of that ladder. I'm inches away from reaching my ultimate goal, and to let it all slip away now would be a disaster. I'm closer than ever to realising my dream here in XWL. Ever since growing up in Cape Town, this is what I've wanted. and I haven't worked this hard for someone like Wade Barrett to get in the way of that. It's obvious that Wade has only ever cared about himself, back in the The Corre it was never about a team, it was just about him. Last week proved that, he tried to go it alone against CM Punk and Macho Man, and he got exactly what he deserved. CM Punk, made him tap out. He was too selfish to tag me into the match and he paid for it. It just showed that he was never the outstanding Star of The Corre.
[Justin Gabriel] This is a huge chance for me tonight, and I can't let it slip away. I can't let CM Punk,Macho or Wade Barrett take it away from me. Everything that has happened in my career has built to this... From just been some Jobber that was just happy to have a job... to taking out Wade Barrett. All of it, has built to this tonight. I know that this time, I'm ready to go that extra step, to finally make it top of that ladder. Everything is on the line tonight for everybody in that match. Whoever walks out Champion tonight, has a huge chance of main eventing Final Stand. That is huge in anybody's career. Then there is Tables, Ladders and Chairs added to the match, career threatening injury's could be sustained tonight. People's whole careers are on the line in this match. But, that's the risks you take if you want to make it big in this business. You have to put everything on the line to be at the top of this company. And Tonight, that's exactly what I do... Walking out of this arena with the World Championship would be worth all the pain I could possibly go through. I believe that tonight... is my night.

*X-treme X-mas returns and is taken to a room backstage with an unmanned camera and Redemption superstar Michael McGillicutty, who seems to have a smile on his face after the events that transpired on Redemption.*
McGillicutty: Ted DiBiase. A man, or should I say a boy, who doesn't deserve what he has been given. A boy who doesn't deserve to be called a third generation superstar. A boy who panders to the ingrates known as the XWL Universe. A universe who cheers the people who make them feel good about themselves with lies and deceit. Whereas they boo people who tell them the truth and make them feel bad. Is that the kind of people you want cheering your name Ted? I sure as hell wouldn't. They're all sheep, they religiously cheer a man that has pulled the wool over their eyes. And what's worse is that you invite them to “hang out” with you. And, worse than that, you give then free food. But the worst thing about that is the god awful name you use, the so-called “DiBiase Posse Parties.” It's ironic that you, of all people, were saying my “catchphrase” was awful a couple weeks ago, whereas what you name your “hang out” sessions is much worse. I mean really, who came up with that? A five year old?
McGillicutty: Two weeks ago you stuck your nose into business that didn’t concern you and tonight you will pay the price for you actions. I will make sure to make you suffer for the ignorance and stupidity of interfering in my match. You don't fool me Ted. I know why you interfered in the first place, it's because your jealous of me. You couldn't stand the fact that someone who has only been in the XWL a little over a month was getting a chance to do something that has eluded your grasp, and that is to become a champion. Time and time again you were given opportunity after opportunity to win your first ever championship, but you could never get the job done. So when you saw someone who was your superior in every way given a championship match, it ate you on the inside. You know like I do that if you didn't interfere in the match, I would be the current X-treme Champion right now.
McGillicutty: I'd be lying to you if I said I was at 100%. I still haven’t fully recovered from that Extreme Rules match with Kendrick two weeks ago and our brawl last week didn’t help. Thing is though, you, like me, haven’t fully recovered either. Its a miracle you can even stand let alone show up tonight after what happened on Redemption. Last week I demonstrated what I'm capable of. Now imagine that and multiply it by ten, that is the pain your going to receive when the bell rings signaling the start of your own personal highway to hell. After when I put you into another hospital, you can rest easy knowing that your little girlfriend, Maryse, will be taken care of in your absence. It's not all bad though, she will finally know what it feels like to be with a real man. I hope you are preparing to have the most brutal match of your pathetic, title-less, and soon-to-end career.
McGillicutty: I hate you, Ted. I hate you with a passion. Hate. *Michael chuckles* Hate is a strong word, but it sums up everything I feel for you Ted. I hate your Santa hat, I hate your stupid jokes, I hate your obsession with monopoly, I hate your arrogant pride, I hate your music, I hate the DiBiase Posse, I hate everything that you stand for. Tonight I will do the XWL Universe a favor, whether they want me to or not. I will rid the XWL of a plague known as Ted DiBiase. And after I'm done with you Ted, there will be no one left standing in my way to becoming a champion. When that glorious moment is upon us, “The Genesis of McGillicutty” will come into fruition. Hashtag Fate equals Sealed.
*Michael stands up and walks towards the camera to turn it off. Upon turning it off, X-treme X-mas goes to a video package for the Ted DiBiase vs Michael McGillicutty match which takes place later tonight.*

[The camera cuts backstage where Alex Shelley is seen setting up a table by the window. There’s a plate of cookies on the table and Shelley pours some milk into two glasses and sets them on either side of the plate.]
[Shelley looks around for something else to put on the table but he can’t seem to find it. He goes to check his pockets but quickly realizes his tights don’t have any. He walks away to retrieve his lost item and as he walks off screen the camera man reaches for a cookie, but Shelley comes out of nowhere and smacks his hand away.]
{Alex Shelley} No. Those aren’t for you, Mr. Cameraman.
[Shelley disappears again, and this time it’s Kurt Angle who shows up and he eye’s the table hungrily. He picks up one of the cookies and bites into it, then takes a seat and sips on some of the milk. Shelley walks back onscreen and drops the big box he was carrying freeing up his hands to knock the cookie out of Angle’s hand.]
{Alex Shelley} Just what do you think you’re doing eating my cookies like that?
[Angle reaches for the cookie again, but before eating it.]
[Kurt Angle] Your cookies? I don't see your name iced all over them! So what makes you think you're so special to have your own cookies? I think if anyone deserves cookies it's me, it's true, it's true.
[Shelley knocks that cookie out of Angle’s hand too and then he leans over the table and talks to Angle in a low voice. ]
{Alex Shelley} Now you listen to me, Angle. These cookies are for Santa and if you eat another one I will kick you right in the face. Do you not see Santa on those cookies? Those are for him! Forget his name, his face is on them! You can’t eat Santa, Kurt, only Santa can eat Santa.
[Kurt Angle] Santa is fat so of course he'd have to be brought into a conversation about eating. But I don't care if Santa is on these cookies, they're my damn cookies! Get your own, Santa doesn't like you anyways!
[Shelley is taken aback by that last statement and he has a hard time masking the look of shock on his face.]
{Alex Shelley} Unlike you, I’ve been good all year, and Santa’s gonna get me exactly what I asked for, a new bottle of hair gel…, and of course a victory against you. But then again I don’t think I’ll need any special help. And you know what? This whole thing feels a little familiar… this ‘you trying to take something of mine’ shtick has been done before and it didn’t end well for either of us. Don’t you remember, Kurt? Don’t you remember how you screwed me out of my Intercontinental championship match? These cookies are like that intercontinental championship match, the more you eat, the more likely the sugar is gonna cause the rest of your hair to fall off, while at the same time leaving me with no cookies to give Santa. You following me, Kurt?
[Kurt Angle] No I'm not following you because Santa doesn't even eat cookies! Everyone knows he just drinks the milk then stuffs the cookies in his pockets and feeds them to Rudolph and his friends later! And my hair is not going anywhere, it's staying in tact right on my head where it belongs. And it was not your intercontinental Championship shot! Foley signed the papers for me to face Wade Barrett, but then you had to screw around and now we've got... We've got Tyson freaking Kidd in the title match instead of either of us! It's all your fault! I would’ve gone on to beat Wade, and then be the best IC Champion of all times but you had to ruin that for me! Do you know why I won a gold medal? Because the Olympics don't allow people like you who don't know a damn thing about wrestling and just ruin other people's chances! It's true, it's true!
{Alex Shelley} You know what, Kur…
[Shelley pauses for a second.]
{Alex Shelley} If you’re going to keep acting like that, Angle, you may not get invited to the big Christmas party tonight. Although, if there’s one thing we can agree on it’s that Tyson Kidd is a jerk for stealing away my Intercontinental Championship match. I mean he didn’t even do anything since he won it; he just had it sitting at home collecting dust, Barrett probably forgot he even had a challenger tonight. If Kidd didn’t get involved you know what I would have done when I won that match at November to Remember?
[Kurt Angle] Lost it back to me!
{Alex Shelley} I would have treated that contendership right. Taken it on a date, bought it some flowers I would have appreciated what I had unlike Kidd who just fell off the face of the planet after he stole what was mine. And then instead of being here with the likes of you, I would be out there wrestling Barrett for his belt. Do you see what this Resistance garbage has done? They killed things around here; making life harder for good people like myself, it’s just not right man.
[Shelley sighs deeply as he takes a seat on the other side of the table and he bites into a cookie while Angle speaks.]
[Kurt Angle] You just bit Santa's freaking head off! What kind of sick man are you! Santa had a life to live, children to please, elfs to feed, vampires to kill, you just ruined all of that for poor old Santa Clause! And you call me the bad guy? You've just ruined Christmas for everyone! These people may chant that I suck and that I blow, but you Shelley, you're just a pure monster. What do you have to say for yourself?
[A mischievous grin slowly creeps onto Shelley’s face as he finishes his cookie and takes another sip of milk.]
{Alex Shelley} I say it’s about time we get this match started.
Extreme Rules Match
Alex Shelley Vs Kurt Angle
[Without warning, Shelley tosses the rest of his milk right in Angle’s face and then Shelley takes advantage of Angle’s momentary blindness by delivering a superkick that knocks Angle out of his chair and onto the ground.]
{Alex Shelley} Ref! We need a Ref out here!
[Shelley drops down on Angle and hooks his leg and finally a Ref runs on screen.]
{Ref} Shelley you can’t win like this.
[In disbelief at what he was just told, Shelley gets up and confronts The Ref.]
{Alex Shelley} Okay, I understand that the milk thing might have been a little cheap, but anything goes, right? I don’t see why you’re going to stop me from getting this win just because you don’t agree with my methods. Do you know what Angle has put me through? Not sharing his Intercontinental title match with me, cheating in a foot race, locking me in a closet; but the one time I try to bend the odds in my favor it’s a problem?
{Ref} No. What? I meant you have to pin him in the ring to win; this is Extreme Rules not Falls Count Anywhere.
{Alex Shelley} Yeah but couldn’t you bend the rules for me just this one time?
[The Ref shakes his head and Shelley mutters under his breath as he brings Angle to his feet. ]
{Alex Shelley} So much for the holiday spirit.
[Shelley finally has brought Angle to his feet, but Angle was only playing possum and he blinds Shelley with two fingers to the eyes then knocks him off his feet with a stiff clothesline. It doesn’t take long for Shelley to get back to his feet, though the water in his eyes causes him to miss a wild right, giving Kurt the chance to grab Shelley from behind looking to hit a german suplex but Shelley quickly gets Kurt to release his grip after a couple of sharp elbows to the side of the head. Shelley’s more than enraged with Angle’s antics now and he just lets loose with a flurry of punches, kicks and a couple of bitch slaps thrown in for good measure completely overwhelming Angle who seemingly has no choice but to run away down the corridor.]
[Shelley gives chase and he catches up to Angle in no time at all tackling him to the ground. Shelley brings Angle to his feet and bashes his face against some crates lined up against the wall and then he throws Angle into the wall itself. Shelley begins dragging Angle down the remainder of the hallway and through a set of doors, then camera then cuts to the arena where the fans are watching the events unfold on the big screen.]
[The camera loses focus of the action and the crowd begins buzzing as they try to anticipate what could happen next. There’s a pop as Angle goes flying through the curtains and he lands hard on the stage. He lays there groaning and the camera zooms in on curtains anticipating Shelley’s entrance but he’s nowhere to be seen.]
We want Shelley!
We want Shelley!
[The crowd’s chants grow louder and louder until finally:]
[Shelley steps through the curtains and there’s another big pop as he poses on the stage and pyro explodes behind him. He brings Angle to his feet and walks him down the length of the ramp and rolls him into the ring. Shelley is about to get in himself when Angle rolls back out to the crowd’s dismay. Shelley walks around the ring looking for Angle who suddenly pops up and slams him face first into the ring post repeatedly and relentlessly until Shelley slumps to the ground. Angle taunts the crowd as he gains the upper hand in a match that hasn’t technically begun yet and they don’t hesitate to boo him:]
Angle sucks!
Angle sucks!
[Angle watches as the dazed Shelley tries to get back on his feet then he quickly grabs him and throws him overhead with a belly to belly suplex! Shelley ends up upside down against the barricade and Angle follows up his suplex with a vicious knee to the gut. Shelley is on the ground coughing violently and the ever cocky Angle stands on top of him and poses giving the crowd another reason to boo the hell out of him. He jumps up and down on Shelley’s back and The Ref grabs Angle’s arm and tells him to put Shelley in the ring so he can call for the bell, but Angle just shoves him to the side. He does get off of Shelley’s back though, but only to drag him away from the barricade. Angle climbs onto the barricade then goes for a moonsault and hits it! Angle gets to his feet and takes a bow, further irritating the crowd. He rolls Shelley into the ring then walks up the steel stairs and onto the apron. But from inside the ring Shelley knocks Angles feet out from under him and Angle tumbles onto the ground outside the ring but not before hitting his face against the apron first. Angle slowly gets to his feet rubbing his jaw and by the time he sees Shelley dive through the ropes it’s far too late to dodge.]
Let’s go Shelley!
Let’s go Shelley!
[Shelley gets onto his feet and pumps his fist and the people eat it up. As Angle begins to stir on the ground Shelley hops onto the ring apron then springboards off with a moonsault but gets caught in midair as Angle shows off his strength. With Shelley still over his shoulder, Angle tries to ram him into the steel ring post, but Shelley uses his hands to block it then pushes backwards causing Angle to stumble back into the barricade. Shelley is able to slip off Angle’s shoulder and land on the opposite side of the barricade. Angle turns around and tries to punch him but it gets blocked and Shelley counters with a headbutt and a forearm to the face. Shelley then pushes Angle backwards to create some room so he can hop onto the barricade, jump off, and hit Angle in the face with a thrust kick! Shelley’s in firm control now and the crowd is loving it. The Ref yells at Shelley to get Angle in the ring, but Shelley doesn’t pay him any attention. He brings Angle to his feet and attempts to throw Angle into the steel stairs but his throw gets reversed and Shelley finds himself heading straight for the steps. With a show of athleticism, Shelley effortlessly hurdles over the stairs and his momentum carries him over to the announce table and he jumps on and poses. His celebration is cut short as Angle is right there behind him trying to german suplex him off the table! Shelley fights hard delivering multiple elbow strikes to the side of Angle’s head and it’s finally a stomp to the foot that gets Angle to let go. Shelley quickly grabs Angle who’s still standing behind him on the table and hits an asai DDT off the table!]
That was awesome!
That was awesome!
[Angle and Shelley lay there on the outside of the ring unmoving and The Ref gets out of the ring to check on them. Shelley begins to move first and The Ref tells him to get Angle in the ring so he can end this. With what strength he has, Shelley drags Angle over to the ring and is successful in rolling him inside. But instead of climbing in himself, Shelley gets onto the top rope and The Ref yells at him to get down, but Shelley is determined to his the frog splash. He gets ready to jump but out of nowhere Angle hops onto the top and throws Shelley off with a monster belly to belly! Both men are finally in the ring at the same time, but The Ref can’t call for the bell until they’re both on their feet. Angle crawls over to Shelley and drapes his arm across Shelley’s chest, but The Ref can’t make the pin. Angle gets up and starts yelling at The Ref but Shelley interrupts his tantrum by grabbing his leg and putting Angle in the Ankle lock! Angle tries to the ropes but Shelley gets on his feet and drags Angle away, but knowing the ankle lock better than anyone else Angle stands on his free leg and rolls forward kicking Shelley off of him. Both men stare each other down intensely and with both men in the ring and on their feet, The Ref finally calls for the bell officially beginning this match.]
Let’s go Shelley!
Angle Sucks!
[Angle and Shelley meet in the middle of the ring, lock up and battle for the upper hand. Angle overpowers Shelley and backs him into the corner and pushes him up against the turnbuckles. Angle breaks his hold and immediately goes for a cheap shot, but Shelley quickly ducks out of the way and scrambles over to the ropes. Angle runs at him and Shelley quickly pulls down the top rope expecting Angle to tumble over, but Angle stops short and kicks Shelley in the chest almost knocking him out of the ring, but Angle grabs onto Shelley’s leg preventing him from falling all the way out. Angle is trying to pull Shelley back into the ring and at the same time Shelley is rummaging under the ring for something, but Angle wins this tug of war and fully drags Shelley into the ring but he doesn’t notice the chair in Shelley’s hands until Shelley rolls onto his back and tries to whack him on the head with it. Angle steps back enough for it to only be a grazing blow and when Shelley gets back onto his feet Angle delivers a kick to the gut making Shelley drop the chair then he drops him with a DDT right on top of it! Angle rolls Shelley onto his back and goes for the pin:]
Kick out!
[Angle looks at The Ref in shock and The Ref assures him it was a two count. Angle slowly gets onto his feet then he bends over and picks Shelley up too. Angle throws Shelley into the ropes then gets ready to hit a back body drop, but Shelley leap frogs over him then quickly slides out of the ring. Shelley searches under the ring for a weapon and Angle climbs out of the ring to pull him out, but Shelley kicks him off and crawls under the ring to get away but doesn’t anticipate Angle following him under. Shelley crawls out on the side of the ring by the announce table and he has a stop sign in his hands. A second later Angle pops out from under the ring too and immediately charges it at Shelley who halts him in his tracks by holding out the stop sign. Angle stands there confused until Shelley throws the stop sign at him and Angle swats it to the side but in the meantime Shelley runs right by him to the ring, then he steps off the apron and right back onto Angle with a tornado DDT! Shelley isn’t done there as he rolls into the ring and opens the chair up by the ropes and waits for Angle to slowly make it back to his feet, then he bounces off the ropes, steps off the chair then dives out of the ring and gets dropkicked in midair as Angle manages to counter his high flying attack. Angle slowly gets up and woos at the crowd riling them up even more.]
Angle sucks!
Angle sucks!
[He wobbles over to the ring and searches under it for something and he finally pulls out a burlap sack and tucks under the leg part of his attire against his thigh. He notices Shelley beginning to stir so he climbs up onto the turnbuckle, but he’s taking his sweet time giving Shelley more than enough time to come to his senses and attack him. Angle now finds himself sitting on the top turnbuckle and Shelley is behind him on the apron slowly climbing up until he’s standing on the second rope. Shelley begins to set Angle up for what looks like the Sliced Bread but then Angle pulls the sack out from under his tights and slams it over Shelley’s head! The sack bursts and what looks like dye covers Shelley’s hair and flows like a river down his face. Shelley so shocked he doesn’t even know how to react, but Angle knows just what to do and he quickly gets himself and Shelley in position for what appears to be an Avalanche Angle Slam! The crowd is on their feet begging Shelley to find a way out, but it’s too late to try as both men go crashing down to the mat!]
[Both men lay unmoving and the dye begins to pool around Shelley’s head a little bit. Angle finally manages to crawl over Shelley and lay an arm across his chest.]

. . . . . . .
[Angle's theme hits as the Olympic Champion has won the match and has his hand raised in the air in victory. Angle is met with a frenzy of boos at the crowd does not appreciate him beating the fan-favorite Alex Shelley. Kurt has his music cut short and he grabs a mic to speak after the match.*]
[[Kurt Angle]] Look at that! Shelley, you just lost to me. After every week saying you would win this for the fans, you would defeat me, when we actually stepped in the ring I was the one to walk out victorious. It's true, it's true. Shelley, you talked an awful big game but now none of it even matters because you're laying on the mat and I'm standing up straight after my theme played because I won.
[[Kurt Angle]] Shelley and not only did I win, but have a nice long look at your new hair because that dye is permanent! And you insulted my hair so many times... You said I used products to make it, but no products you use will fix that because it won't come out no matter what you do! It's true, it's true. And Shelley, everytime you challenge me to a match it'll be the same result again and again, I will walk out the winner. Because it's simple Shelley, I'm a better wrestler and I always will be. I drink my milk, take my vitamins, and you sit at home plotting how to win a foot race. How does that help you when you actually step in the ring, Shelley? And that's why I won, because while you're busy messing around I'm busy training. I have the integrity to work hard and improve Shelley, when you have the integrity to eat cookies that were supposed to be for Santa...
[[Kurt Angle]] I have the intelligence Shelley, to know that I'm better than you. It's true, it's true. But you only have the intelligence to believe Santa Clause is real! And I've go the intensity to never give in, never stop. If you had put me through a burning table from the top of the cell, I wouldve still kicked out! It's true, it's true. But I hit one Angle Slam and you gave in, Shelley, you gave up. And that's why I'm better than you Shelley. That's what makes me defeat you every time we step in the ring. Because I have the will to continue when you don't. It's true, it's damn true!
[Angle drops the mic and his theme hits and he leaves to his theme as XWL PPV fades into a commercial break.]
Chris Jericho Promo Oh shit, Jericho! I didn't expect his return at all so was pleasantly surprised by this promo. I had great expectations for this one as I'm a fan of all your promos and I wasn't disappointed but something was missing... I'm not sure what. I'm also glad you're continuing Jericho as a heel as I liked his most recent heel persona more than his others. It was a very good promo and I look forward to seeing you develop the Jericho character into your own as I know you're a big fan of him. The layout and caps used in this promo also deserve praise.
****
Edge Promo I really liked the use of the caps in this one, with Edge chilling out in a chair like a boss because it's Christmas. This was a no-frills promo which did what it set out to do and that was to forward the feud with Cody and hype up the match. Pretty good. Nice layout too.
***
Kevin Steen Promo I really dislike Kevin Steen in real life, so I'm not going to comment too much on this as you promo just like him (which I guess is good for you but bad for me...lol). Instead, I'll say that the promo is of a good length and that you chose some nice caps considering Steen is not he most well-known guy. I really hate him. Sorry jiggas but I promise I'll review your Davey Richards promos in full when you do them. It'll be unfair for me to give this a rating.
Dolph Ziggler Open Challenge 2 awesome Dolph promos on one show? Madness! I was kind of let down that nobody answered the open challenge and I still expected someone to appear even while I was reading Dolph toot his own horn but it didn't happen. But it only added to Dolph's big-headedness and I guess we wouldn't have another epic promo if he had a match... so it's all good.
*****
Layla vs Trish Stratus Trish was pretty dominant at points throughout the match which surprised me. I expected Layla to win this one easily. Layla had her own share of offense though including a finisher reversal but it was not her night. Trish seemed a little rusty on certain things - like clean ring entry - but Layla paid her back by not allowing her to enter either so I guess it balanced out. After Trish hit the early finisher and then had her second reversed by Layla, I had a gut feeling Trish would come out the winner and she eventually did. Layla's taunting at the end seemed to cost her. Big win for Trish over Miss MITB.
***
Ted Dibiase Promo I've really been digging the Dibiase-McGillicutty feud so I was looking forward to Ted's response to last week. It started out in usual Ted manner with jokes and insane cheesiness when he described his stay at a "hospital". Hilarious and as creative as ever. I don't know where you get your ideas from. The caps used are epic for this time of year and fit his cheesiness perfectly. I consider Ted as one of the top faces promo-wise in XWL and it's easy to see why when he talks about his heart, his hopes and his fans etc. I would've liked to have heard more of Ted's thoughts on McGillicutty but that's a minor complaint. I guess you've already said enough in the past and I look forward to seeing how the feud continues with the match later on.
*****
Maryse Promo You're easily the best Maryse in promos I've ever seen and this is a clear example why. Every line of speech fit her character perfectly and so do the actions in between. The caps you used are kinda big though... It was an entertaining promo from start to finish so I have no suggestions on how to improve it other than resize the caps. I don't fully understand why Maryse is in the title match as in my opinion she's not deserving just yet, but hey I'm not a booker. Either way the divas four way will be an interesting one and when Maryse is a champion the promos as a result should be awesome.
*****
Mason Ryan Promo For someone to make a promo this long with Mason Ryan is nothing short of an accomplishment in it's own right. You're really making him into your own and developing more of a personality for Mason that the real-life WWE. The promo started off great and I enjoyed the part about Mason saying he was the best part of The Opposition and how he doesn't need them anymore. It seemed to lose me a little in the middle when Mason was insulting the contenders the US title... the insults seemed tame. Also, I must've missed something a few weeks ago as the Derrick Bateman and Antonio appearance at the end just seemed completely random to me. Poor Antonio was then destroyed by Batista 2.0 as he used him as an example of what he was going to do to Sheamus. Game on. Also: Miz video at the end ftw.
***
Justin Gabriel Promo I really enjoy your promos as Gabriel as either a face or heel and I don't think anyone could ever replace you as him. It'd be weird. This one was also good but I was left wanting more. It's a shame it wasn't longer. You did go into some good topics though, about how Gabriel was always seen as an underdog and how he did manage to earn some success on his own without Wade with wins over AJ and Steen. And you also mentioned how nobody expected Gabriel to get to where he is today which has been a recurring theme in his promos - which is a good thing. I don't think anyone here would have ever expected Gabriel to be in main events or World title matches but you've proved them all wrong. A part of me wants Gabriel to win the World title to cap off the amazing improvement you've made, but not even that will stop Wade winning his first world title. It's gonna happen.
*** and a half
Michael McGillicutty Promo As stated earlier, I'm a fan of the ongoing Dibiase-McGillicutty feud so I was looking forward to hearing from McGllicutty ahead of their match too. I know it must be hard to find pictures of McGillicutty talking to the camera or on the mic, but you used some awesome gifs in this promo. As for the content it was entertaining throughout and the best paragraph was the last one. Great way to close out the promo. Personally I hope the feud continues, even though McGillicutty appears to have other plans if he walks out the victor tonight.
****
Alex Shelley and Kurt Angle Promo This was as insane and ridiculous as I expected it to be based on your previous promos. Very entertaining and definitely the funnest feud to read about in XWL right now. Oh there's the match included right after this too...
*****
Alex Shelley vs Kurt Angle The start of the match is classic Shelley vs Kurt as milk is thrown in Kurt's face. Creative. The write-up to this match was just as entertaining as the promo right before it. It's a shame it wasn't longer but I understand how hard match write-ups are to do and it was still fun to read either way. I really enjoyed it and hope the feud continues at least a little longer as your promos together are great. The post-match Kurt promo was decent, but what colour was Shelley's hair dyed? It doesn't state anywhere what the colour was...

Sorry about being pretty much none existent during this ppv, just a busy time of year but I plan to get a Rock promo up, an Awesome Truth promo and I have like 8 hours early Saturday to do The Rock vs John Cena I-Quit write up, so look out for that.
