Hardcore like ya NEVER saw (Hardcore Characters)

[punch]

*The show was more then to the task of showing off why XWA was the best of the best. But what would Takedown be without a Punch sighting? BORING, that's what. This time around, Punch comes out from the set (Because he can't read the Japanese signs on the door in the hallways) and makes his way out to ringside. With his trusty Singapore Cane in hand, Punch rolls into the ring and snatches the mic from the PA dude, He then addresses everyone in the arena on what he had plan this evening*

There's this guy. I think many of you have heard of him. His name's Vincent Fate. Nice guy. Snappy dresser. Pretty loaded with cash. But a long, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, he used to wrestle. Still does, but not like he USED to wrestle. Back then, he went by the alias of RIOT.

*The crowd wonders just where he was going with this*

And in those early years, up until the rise and fall of LXW, he had another name. More on the lines of a "title". And that title was "The King Of Hardcore". These days, he's still wrestles as Riot, sure. But he ain't as Hardcore as he used to be. He ain't as violent as he was way back when. But ya' see, even though he's "The King" still, he never passed the torch on the throne of Hardcore wrestling.

UNTIL NOW!!!

*Punch taps the cane on his shoulder*

You see people, I've kinda strayed away from what brought me to the dance. I didn't get over fighting in backyards, bars and community centers hittin' guys in the family jewels. Ok...I did get over doin' that stuff, but that's not what the PUNCH experience is all about. I don't do Corkscrew Moonsaults. I don't to high impact snap kicks. I don't do fancy, PERIOD. I do grimy. I do low down, dirty, in your face. And it's high time I get back to my roots. So GUESS WHAT!!! I'm officially puttin' the X-Gen Division ON NOTICE! Daddy's home, bitches!!!

*The crowd reacts with excitement as Punch declares his X-Gen debut*

BuZZ: All hell's gonna break lose, Punch is goin' Hardcore. Or shall we say BACK to Hardcore!

Roach: Suddenly, The X-Gen Division just got a little unsafer...

Tonight, I take my 1st steps to ascending to MY Throne as the EMPEROR of Hardcore, by laying out a challenge. To ANY of the other Hardcore bastidz backstage. It could be one of you, it's could be ALL of you. I don't give a shit. Tonight, someone's gonna BLEED.

*Punch looks out toward the stage and waits*

[aces]

*All of a sudden, Metallica's "Fuel" sounds over the arena PA. Making his 1st XWA appearence was a Hardcore icon in his own right, the one and only Johnny Aces*

Buzz: Wait a minute!!! That's...That's JOHNNY ACES!!! Johnny Aces? In XWA!!! NO WAY!!!

Roach: There's been rumors running around the internet the last few weeks of him coming to XWA. Looks like they're rumors no more. ACES are WILD in XWA!!!

*Johnny stands atop the stage, doing his signature "Tossin' one back" taunt as the crowd goes nuts. As he makes his way down to the ring, he points at Punch in the ring, doing his classic smack talking off mic. Rolling into the ring, he pops back up on his feet, and heads to the 1st of the four corners. He jumps up to the 2nd rope, and does his signature taunt again, repeating this in the other three corners. Hoping off the 4th, Aces turns to Punch and eyes him up. He grins, and calls for a mic. It's tossed in the ring, and Aces catches it, throws it up over his back, and catches it again before speaking to the XWA fateful*

Ladies and Gentlemen, ACES ARE WILD,
BABY!!!

*The crowd roars their approval of Aces' XWA arrival*

Let me 1st start off by sayin' 'dat it's an honor and a pleasure ta' be standin' in an XWA ring. About a month ago, I heard about a place being called "the best of the best of the best. So naturally I hadta' get my ass on down and see what it was about. Now, I know there's many of you who know who I am, and many of you who don't. So allow me ta' formally itraduce' myself.

The name...is JOHNNY ACES. And this "ace" deals in PAIN.

*A confident nod gives way to further speech*

Where I'm from? Born on the Bayou, baby. The ragin' hardcore Cajun. And easy ta' say, I ain't out here on a pleasure call. Seems Mr. Punch here is lookin' for a scrap. Well yer in luck, my friend. Cuz SO AM I. Now I dunno if anyone else is gonna jump on inta' 'dis. But I'm gonna give you a right proper welcome back inta' hardcore wrestlin'. Cuz I ain't yer average chair swingin' son of a gun. Yer lookin' at a man who's INNOVATED things in Hardcore matches no one in their right damn mind would do. You want it, I want it. So let's do tha' damn thing.

*A fired up Johnny Aces waits for his opponent's reply*

[punch]

*Punch looks the new guy up and down. He looked like he could go a few rounds, that's for certain. He speaks his response*

Johnny Aces, eh? At least you come out here with a decent enough name. But there's only room in the dump for ONE Hardcore Johnathan. And you're lookin' at him right here. But much rather then talk about it, I say we BE about it. RING THE GOD DAMN BELL!!!

*Punch drops his mic, A ref hurries out to the ring, the bell sounds, and one hell of a brutal match ensues*

Roach: Just like that, we've got an Xtreme Rules match. Jonny Punch making his return to Hardcore versus the debuting Johnny Aces. This is gonna get real messy, REAL quick.

Buzz: But that's what makes it fun, Mikey. Two grown men beating each other into comas. GOD I love this job.

Roach: I know this. And it scares me...

Who's gonna win? You'll have to watch to find out, won'tcha?
