At the top of the special XWA OTS Qualifying Presentation, the Greek fans are treated to the arrival of XWA GM, Rodolphe Gallas.
Here comes the boss. Of course he'd be in the house for such an important night.
Up for grabs is the coveted 3rd and final spot in the last dance. 16 men have been chosen, but only one can be "The Strongest". Tonight we narrow the field down to 8. But I wonder what else the boss has in store?
Gallas makes his way to the ring with the infamous clipboard. There was business to be done this night, and the business would be interesting to say the least.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a special episode of Takedown. 16 men have been given a chance at immortality. A chance to be in 'ze main event of XGames II. A chance to become XWA World Champion. Tonight, we see what 'zese men are made of. 'Zese modern day gladiators. All from different walks of life. All from different disciplines of wrestling. Technicians. Powerhouses. Brawlers. So many styles. But only 1 man will leave Europe "The Strongest". For those who haven't seen the field on 'ze website, allow me to run down the list. Competing tonight in 'ze 1st round will be...
Romeo Davis,
Nathan Browne,
Michael Xavier,
Osiris,
Nick Jones,
Chris Cage,
Johnny Aces,
Marcus Samson,
Christian Pryce,
MG,
Jimmy Ames,
Scott O'Dell,
Finesse,
Jonny Punch,
Pollox Troy,
and of course, Adam Devlin.
Cheers boom out from the fans. Gallas nods before continuing.
As I said, it's as open a field of competition as you can get. 'Zere really is no man who is a heavy favorite. It will all come down to what man can showcase why 'zey are 'ze best at what 'zey do. And to all of you, I wish you 'ze best of luck. But 'zats only a part of why I am out here. At our last PPV, Solstice. We witnessed a man come full circle. A man who I have watched mature in 'zis ring from a naive young superstar into a man I'm proud to call XWA World Champion. 'Zat man is Xander Xavier Luther.
The arena explodes as the fans cheer on the name of the now 2 time World Champion.
XXL is your new World Champion. And XWA's 2nd 2 time champion. But what of 'ze former champion Robby Sylk? Well, I can inform you all 'zat Monsieur Sylk has contacted me personally, and announced just as Ethan Bain did, that he is forfeiting his rematch, for 'ze 2nd spot in our October Main Event, 'Ze Devil's Playground at Devil's Night. So "zis leaves 'ze World Title match at Only The Strong up for grabs, Yes? Not so fast. Because that's another reason why I am out here. At Only The Strong, XXL will defend 'ze World Title. And his opponent? Well, it's a man who much like Luther, has had a long journey in 'zis industry. A man who has been both a hero and a villain. A savior and an outcast. But 'zere is no denying his worth in this ring. And 'zere is no denying 'ze fact that right now, he's 'ze most deserving man to be named #1 Contender. That man...
...is BRANDON PAYNE.[/b]
The fans explode in cheer once again from this bombshell.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! Brandon Payne Vs. XXL!!!
For The World Title. Now that's what I call a main event!
For those who may not remember, these two men have history. They went to war for over two months in 2007 for the National Title. A Title that XXL held a vice grip on until Payne managed to defeat him. Oh this is big alright!!!
And since I know both men have made 'ze trip. What I'm going to do tonight, is make very special match. Think of it as a tune up. Tonight, we shall see a Tornado Tag Match. One one end of 'ze ring, we will have 'ze #1 contender Brandon Payne, teamed up with 'ze New World Champion XXL.
The fans roar in baited anticipation.
And on 'ze other side on 'ze ring? Well...why be stingy, eh? 'Zere opponents for tonight will be 'ze former World Champion Robby Sylk, and 'ze man who was champion before him, Ethan...Bain.
A shocked and stunned crowd soon explode in a cheer that shakes the building at the mention of the huge Tornado Tag Match just made.
Seeing as 'ze 4 of you may be meeting again at Devil's Night, I 'zink 'zis is a nice way for you all to test the waters if you will. And speaking of Tag Team Matches. I also want to announce an innovative match 'zat will take place at Only 'Ze Strong. I call it 'Ze Tornado Eliminator. We will start with 3 teams. All 6 men in 'ze ring at once. And 'ze rules? Simple. The first team to eliminate bother members of another team, wins. It's 'ze ultimate test of will and team work, because in order to survive, you have to watch not only your back, but your partner's as well. And at Only 'Ze Strong, we debut this match concept with 'ze Tag Team Titles on 'ze line. It will be 'ze reigning Champions 'Ze Bruzas defending against 'Ze Burns Brothers...and 'Ze Mobstaz.
Have you ever even heard of such a match before, Mike?
Not even close. Another XWA 1st. The 1st team to eliminate both members of another team, walks out as Tag Team champs. I don't think it can get any more action packed then that.
There is one last order of business. One regarding the final spot in the Diamond Conflict Match at XGames. But I'll leave it up to Ms. Warfield to reveal 'ze details of 'zat event. For now, 'ze stage is set. And tonight, we bare witness to what will surely be the beginnings of "A New Day" in XWA. Thank you, and enjoy 'ze show.
