The XPW Wrestling Leagie saw the crowing of its first champ this past Friday in action at the XPW Arena, Reseda.
In the evening's main event, Battle Zone match (rumble style battle royal with tables and barbed wire outside the ring and weapons allowed in the ring), "The Real Deal" Damien Steele became the XPW's first World Champion. But Steele had the help of the rest of "The Hierarchy" to achieve his ends. Nicole Bass eliminated Felony and Dynamite D, before being eliminated by White Trash Johnny Webb with help from Missy Hyatt on the outside. Thus, the Hierarchy was able to eliminate Webb and Phenomenal Phil which left Steele, Jake Lawless, Kronus, and Homeless Jimmy in the ring. Kronus eliminated Phil. Steele then got on the mic and said that he was the first XPW World Heavyweight Champion and that it was time for Lawless and Kronus to step over the rope and give him his place in the spotlight. Lawless stepped over the rope. Kronus, however, had a different idea. As he started to step over the top rope, he turned back to Steele and attacked him. Steele, after nearly 30 minutes in the ring was able to stay one step ahead and eliminated Kronus to secure the XPW Word Title for himself.
In other action, Big Dick Dudley defeated Jake Lawless by DQ. But it was Lawlesss and The Hierarchy who got the real victory. Dick, considered a favorite for the XPW title, had the upper hand on Lawless when Nicole Bass and Damien Steele hit the ring. Lawless, Bass, and Steele held Dick until Jasmin St. Claire came to the ring and hit Dick with a massive fireball. They took off and XPW officials and wrestlers flooded the ring to help Dick to his feet. Dick was removed by an ambulance. Many fans expected Dick to return later in the night, but the severity of the injury prevented him from doing so.
White Trash Johnny Webb and Missy Hyatt made their way to the ring to speak their minds. The Hierarchy emerged once again and introduced former ECW World Tag Team Champ Kronus. Kronus attacked Webb and powerbombed him three times before attempting to powerbomb Missy, but Steele called him off.
In earlier matches, Kid Kaos defeated Cybil by pinfall; Phenomenal Phil pinned Homeless Jimmy after Jimmy stacked two tables, placed Phil on top, and climbed fifteen feet to the top of the arena's indoor X logo. Jimmy reached the top, but was then pushed off by a girl all in black. Jimmy landed on Phil and they both crashed through two tables with Phil landing on top an getting the pin.
Carlito Montana and Pancho Killa battled to a no contest. Carlito attacked Pancho with barbed wire in the match but took off when things when Felony and Pancho became too much for him to deal with.
Supreme and Donovan Morgan fought to a bizare no contest. Three referees were taken out during the match and when the first recovered and called for the bell Supreme and Morgan kept fighting until XPW security and officials pulled them apart.
The Pit Bulls and The West Side NGZ battled to a draw due to a double pin. It was a brutal tag team match. Pitbull 1 pinned Chronic and Bigg Rott pinned Pitbull 2 as referee Patrick Hernandez counted both pins. This one is far from over.
The next XPW event, "Dismembered in November" is scheduled for Friday, November 26. "THE REAL DEAL" DAMIEN STEELE will make his first XPW World Title defense in an already confirmed barbed wire ring match.
