(Tom) The X-Treme title is the second most prestigious title in this company, it could even be argued that at one time it was more prestigious than the Foundation title.

(JB) Very true, Bear. Now Mike Castleberry and "The Lights" Dan Stein get a shot at a benchmark title in this company.

The lights cut out in the arena, bathing it in darkness, the only lighting is from a few camera flashes. Suddenly, a guitar riff pierces the air over the PA, blue lights flashing at the entryway, revealing Castleberry standing, his arms foled, staring at the ring, a look of fierce determination on his face. The crowd cheers as he stands, surveying his surroundings.

Its twilight and I wake up hot
My body’s soaked in a cold, cold sweat
I reenact the lurid scenes
And clawed engravings in my head

The first verse of Megadeth's "Die Dead Enough" plays, as Castleberry starts his march down to the ring as the chorus picks up.

Oh, I can’t punch hard enough (and I run)
I can’t kick high enough (and I run)
I can’t shoot straight enough (and I run)
I can’t hold on enough (and I run)
Oh, I can’t stay down enough (and I run)
I can’t take pain enough (and I run)
I can’t bleed fast enough
I can’t die dead enough

Castleberry stands in front of the ring, stretching a bit, crackling his knuckles, then his neck, making sure everything is lose.

The air is thick, but the oxygen’s thin
My heart is beating like a drum, boom!
And ice is flowing through my veins
Explosives on my lips and in my lungs

He hops into the ring, as the lights go back on in the arena, waiting is his corner for the opening bell, the chrorus playing again, fading out.

The lights cut. The arena goes black. The fans buzz in anticipation. The megatron flashes gold quickly, then go blank again. A second passes, and two pyro rockets shoot off from the stage in an 'x' fashion. Then, the megatron flashes gold again, and the words 'The Lights' remain up. 'Apocalypse Please' by Muse begins to play as Dan Stein walks out from the backstage area, then jogs down to the ring.

(JB) Both these guys look to be on top of their game.

(Tom) Yea, but you have to give the experience edge to Castleberry. He has wrestled for this title on more than one occasion.

COMMENTARY FILTER: ON

As the bell sounds, as in his previous match, Castleberry meets his opponent in the middle of the ring, standing eye to eye with Stein, a smirk crosses Castleberry's face, as he surprisingly extends his hand to Stein. Stein seems surprised, as Castleberry keeps his hand extended, then complies shaking his hand in a show of sportsmanship. As Stein attempts to break the handshake, Castleberry keeps a firm grip, pulling him so they stand chest to chest, his eyes still locked and can clearly be seen saying "You're mine", before he lets go, and hits Stein with a slap across the face. Stein is infuriated, and within seconds, the two are exchange hard right hands, neither man backing down. Stein begins to rally, hitting blow after blow, staggering Castleberry, until Castleberry throws a kick to Stein's stomach, doubling him over, and Castleberry hits him with a vicious DDT and stand over him, laughing, and then begins to stomp the back of Stein's head.

Mike lifts Stein up and drops him back down to the mat where he throws a few elbows to the back of Dan's head. With "The Lights" momentarily dazed, Castleberry rolls out of the ring and makes a bee-line for a steel chair. He grabs one and rolls back in but Dan Stein drops an elbow right into his lower back as he does so. This gives Dan the opportunity to grab the chair and swings for the fences at Mike's head. Castleberry has enough presence of mind to somehow avoid the chair shot and hits a jumping kick to the side of Dan's head before he can recover from missing the chair shot.

Mike now picks up the chair and sets it up so it is standing. He grabs Dan Stein and Irish whips him into the ropes. On the rebound Castleberry hits a drop toe hold right into the seat of the chair and Stein goes rolling out of the ring. Mike plays to the crowd a little bit while Stein gets to work sliding two tables into the ring. He then finds a kendo stick, trash can, fire extinguisher, and a tool box underneath the ring which he throws into the ring also. Stein gets back into the ring but Castleberry has picked up the steel chair again and he lays Dan out with another chair shot. He opens the chairs and hooks it around Stein’s neck and begins to choke him out. The referee checks to see if Stein submits but he doesn’t. Stein manages to elbow out of it. As he pulls the chair back over his head, he gathers enough strength to turn the momentum against Castleberry and drive the chair into his face, causing Mike to bleed.

Dan then crawls over to the fire extinguisher and pulls the pin. Castleberry comes over and attempts to pick Dan up by his head but as he does so Stein shoots him in the face with the extinguisher blinding Mike. Dan then cracks the extinguisher over Castleberry’s head and throws it out of the ring. Now he picks up the kendo stick and applies a camel clutch using the Kendo stick to choke Castleberry while he does so. Mike refuses to tap however and Dan releases the hold out of frustration. Stein argues with the ref a little bit and Mike is now digging inside the tool box. He finds a screwdriver and holds it up for the crowd to see. Castleberry then charges across the ring and takes Dan down with a Lou Thez press and then begins to stab Stein in the forehead with the screwdriver drawing a large quantity of blood.

Stein can barely see through his crimson mask and it gets worse when Mike drapes the trashcan over his head "trapping" him. Mike then begins to assault the trash can with the kendo stick and after several shots Dan finally falls down and rolls out of it. Castleberry applies an ankle lock but out of no where, Stein rolls and manages to lock in a triangle choke! Castleberry reaches for and finds the ropes but this match is no DQ so it does no good. It looks as if Castleberry has faded and the referee lifts his arm once… It drops… Twice… And on the second raise, Castleberry grabbed the screwdriver again and stabs “The Lights” in the leg, getting the choke released! Mike picks Dan up and whips him toward the corner where a table is set up but Stein reverses it and Mike hits the table hard but not enough to break it. Dan then limps but manages to charge in and spears Castleberry through the table.

Cue the NAFW chant.

Both men are on the mat lying down for a while and the ref reaches a nine count before both answer the call at the same time. As they get up they start exchanging fisticuffs. Stein is all dazed and punch drunk and it gets a lot worse when Mike kicks him in the gut and piledrivers him on top of the steel chair. Castleberry would probably have this match wrapped up right here after that but he doesn't think he has done enough punishment. He just grabs Dan and tosses his limp body over the top rope. Castleberry then throws the second table out of the ring and onto the floor and Mike soon follows after.

Castleberry grabs a hold of the table and at the same time Dan Stein and then proceeds to drag both up the ramp. Castleberry has a deranged look in his eye as he heads backstage for a moment and returns with a table, setting it up and then lifting Stein, laying him across it. He stops and raises his hand, pointing to the NAFW-tron and begins to climb it. The crowd begin to cheer loudly as he stands on the top, and then leaps off, hitting his signature move, the Blackout, a flipping guillotine legdrop onto Stein, through the table.
Cue the holy shit chant.

Both men lay motionless for awhile, until Castleberry rises to his feet and places Stein in a sharpshooter. Stein is completely unconscious at this point, unable to respond to the ref, or even tap out. The ref lifts Stein's hand 3 times, all 3 times his hand falls limply, and the ref orders for the bell. Castleberry falls to his back at the sound of the bell as medics rush out with stretchers for both men, while the ref runs to ringside and grabs the X-Treme title. Castleberry refuses to be put on a stretcher rising to his feet and claims his title, holding the belt high, to standing ovation for both men, before he collapses again, and is helped by two officials to the back.
