Drew Beane Announces Farewell
Last Saturday, Drew Beane announced his plans to leave XMCW after his final match with Lonewolf Lance Roberts. This too comes as a shock to everyone in G.S.E., Inc. & the XMCW program, just one week after Lonewolf's decision to move on. "It's certainly not the end of the XMCW program, but it's the end of the role of Kyd Dynomite & Lance Roberts." Drew & Lance are very eager to meet up once again & compete in their final match December 29. "Everything is still being sorted out, but it definately is not ending on bad terms". Drew stated, earlier this week. Everyone is still in kind of a shock due to Lance's announcement & then Drew's announcement one week later. "I think that everyone is taking it a bit harder than what was expected, but we've always been able to overcome the odds before, & I'm sure this time will be no different". Drew followed up by saying "I'm really looking forward to working Lance again. It's been more than a year since we last wrestled & it'll be interesting to see how much we both have progressed."
Farewell To Lonewolf Lance Roberts
December 15th, in an executive meeting, Lance Roberts announced that he will be leaving the XMCW program & GSE, Inc. operation effective December 29, 2001. This came as a shock to most people who were in attendance. Lance was one of the founding members of GSE, & also he was a very talented & respected performer in the ring. He did ask, as a final request, to finish his tenure with XMCW by wrestling Drew Beane (aka Kyd Dynomite) on December 29. This should present an interesting match up considering both of these two competitors are mat technicians. We're sure this will undoubtedly be a very physical match.
Lance, good luck on all of your future endeavors. You will be missed!

The Best XMCW program: Hamlin High School
XMCW debuted at Hamlin High School Saturday night, November 10, with an outstanding attendance from Lincoln county residents. This was one of the most highly anticipated events in XMCW history, & has been rated as the best XMCW program to date! The fans were emotionally charged from beginning to the end of the show. All the XMCW performers came out to the ring at the beginning of the show to "God Bless The USA", then honored America with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" by one of the local residents. Then the night began as Christian & Big Sexy Slim took the stage, & kicked off the biggest XMCW event ever.
"The Unholy" vs. Sho-Kazuki
Newcomer, Sho-Kazuki had his hands full adapting to the American way, by facing the dark side of XMCW, The Unholy! Unholy made a spectacular ring entrance with a flaming sword, with which he hurled an extraordinary mist of fire from. The match got underway, & Sho-Kazuki began looking for the nearest travel agency, trying to find his way back to South America. After a futile attempt of playing basketball with The Unholy, the South American Ninja was no match for the dark lord of justice & mediation. The Unholy won by submission.
Beast vs. Mr. X 2
Ok, it's quite obvious now that no one knows just who exactly is Mr. X 2. At first it was apparent that Ed Crowza.com was. But Ed was saying that is was really the original Mr. X. The original Mr. X claims that it was still Ed Crowza.com. No one really knows which of the two it is, but never the less, Mr. X 2 met the wrath of the Beast. After Mr. X came out & tried locating Mr. X 2 under the ring, Beast unleashed his terror with a furious vigor, & dominated the entire match. After a few exchanges, Mr. X 2 was no match for this upcoming star. Beast won by finfall.
After the match, Attitude Alan Matthew's came out to ringside & told the crowd at Hamlin how pathetic they all were. They could never be where he's at today, nor would they ever be. They weren't good enough to even be in the same room with him, nor was Matthew Marvel good enough to be in the same Ring with him. Just then Marvel came to the ring & hit Attitude with the Vertigo Drop, knocking the champ out for a few minutes. Marvel didn't even have his mask on either!
Crowza.com vs. Lonewolf Lance Roberts
This was truly a professional match between two fan favorites, Lonewolf Lance Roberts & Ed Crowza.com with his attorney, Christian Harper from Harper & Associates, attorneys at law. Crowza.com did however seem to be suffering from his "medical" problem though, which ultimately seemed to cost him in the long run. After a beautiful display of technical ability by Crowza.com & Lonewolf, it seemed that the "professional predator" gained the upper hand, until Mr. Harper tried to interfere with the match which seemed to upset his client Crowza.com. Lonewolf encountered Mr. Harper & gave him an inverted Atomic Drop, then wrapped up Crowza.com in the wolf trap, gaining the victory once again. Lonewolf could eventually be on his way to becoming the next XMCW heavyweight champ.
Hardcore vs. Bad Boy
Every ones favorite, Hardcore Mark Matthews returned to action, taking on Bad Boy Dallas Michaels. Hardcore was taking a lot of hard hits from Dallas, who was relentless on his assault. Just when the action was most intense, Big Sexy Slim got involved & hit Dallas Michaels with a chair from behind. Hardcore immediately followed up on the opportunity & gave the corporate bodyguard everybodys favorite finisher, gaining the pin over Bad Boy Dallas Michaels.
Deacon Furious vs. Cecil Furious
This match was attended by Ms. Amanda who was able to regain her job after Kyd Dynomite defeated Mr. X last week at State College (Kyd then being fired by Sinnamon who ordered Sam Reidler to do her dirty work). Ms. Amanda was at ringside during this match, "scouting" she said, to find new talent to manage. The match itself was a brother vs. brother matchup which has all the signs of sibling rivalries. It was Deacon however, that finally scored the pin on his younger brother Cecil, whom is also known as the homeless guy. Deacon wins by pin fall.
Mr. X vs. Razorblade (XIC title on the line)
This match will definitely go down as a match of the year for XMCW performers. Mr. X came to ringside & saw Ms. Amanda who jumped up on a table, then gave Mr. X a hurricarauna off of the table. Mr. X, wearing a Hamlin High rival shirt, finally made it to the ring, when Razorblade came out. For those of you who missed this match, words could never describe the emotional intensity & excitement that was present during this match. These two combatants pulled out all the stops, risking life & limb to entertain the fans present Saturday night. Chairs, trash cans, ladders, shelves, etc... was involved in this match. This was just a BRUTAL match, leaving both contenders busted open & bleeding profusely. Hardcore Mark Matthews ran in & hit Razorblade with his finisher, then got Mr. X to set Razorblade in the corner, hanging upside down from the turnbuckle. X & Hardcore ran in for a slide, being caught by Razorblade, who gave them both a "Throat Cutter". The entire place erupted as Razorblade made it to his feet & hit Mr. X with another Throat Cutter, gaining the win. Razorblade retains the XIC championship!
Attitude vs. Matt Marvel
Matt Marvel threw everything he had into this match up. A lot of high risk maneuvers & arial assaults combined to give Attitude a run for his money. Attitude obviously under estimated this youngster, being caught off guard with Marvels tactics. This too was a brilliant match, from top to bottom, with a great ending as well. After countless attempts to pin the champ, Marvel finally dawned his mask & drew his "super powers" from deep within, withstanding everything Attitude had to throw. But, Marvel hit Attitude with a jaw breaker, which knocked the super heroes mask off. Just as Marvel went to put it back on, Attitude hit Marvel with the Attitude Adjuster, & gained the win by pin fall. Attitude retains the XMCW Heavyweight Title.
After the show, all of the XMCW performers came out to meet & greet the fans who attended the show. XMCW would like to thank everyone who made this show possible. XMCW will return to Hamlin High School!
XMCW Debuts at WV State College
XMCW makes their debut at West Virginia State College, Saturday, November 3rd. This had to have been the best XMCW show yet, with an outstanding card line up. If you missed this show, then you missed perhaps one of, if not the most, intense & physically challenging programs ever seen for an XMCW event. The line up included matches of:
* A four corners match including Deacon Furious, Bad Boy Dallas Michaels, Hardcore Mark Matthews, & Mr. X 2. Yes that's
right, Mr. X 2 is obviously not Crowza.com like we had assumed before. The winner of the Four Corners Match was Hardcore
Mark Matthews, who went on to face Razorblade Mark Stevens for the XIC Title.
*"Lonewolf Lance Roberts challenged The Unholy in a returning grudge match. Lonewolf got the win using his patented "wolf
trap".
*Matthew Marvel faced The Beast in a one on one match up. In an awkward display of pure courage on the part of Marvel, &
sheer strength from The Beast, this was a very psychologically strong match. This was a very entertaining match from top to
bottom. In the end, Matthew Marvels' super powers must have been strong, considering the fact that he actually survived, &
even won the match due to The Beast getting disqualified.
*Kyd Dynomite challenged Mr. X to a return match for Ms. Amanda's job. Mr. Reidler fired Amanda, & Kyd negotiated for her
job. If Kyd won, then Amanda got her job back. If he lost, then Kyd & Amanda both were out of a job. This match, once again,
left the ring & travelled throughout the gymnasium, culminating in Mr. X falling off of the second story balcony to the floor below.
In the end, Dynomite won by submission. Sam Reidler came out & granted his end of the bargain, giving Amanda her job back,
although taking Kyds job away, thus eliminating him from the XMCW programs for good. Kyd returned the favor by hitting
Reidler with a bull dog to the canvas.
*Hardcore Mark Matthews challenged Razorblade Mark Stevens for the XIC title. This match lived up to everyones expectations.
Hardcore of course reminded us why he's "everybodys favorite", while Razorblade showed us his "Don't Trust Anyone" attitude
once again. Hardcore however, was finally pinned by Razorblade, thus retaining his XIC championship title.
*The most controversial match of the year by far, Attitude Alan Matthews defending his Heavyweight Title against the re
employed Ed Crowza.com. Ed made a very impressive debut, taking everything Attitude had to throw. Suddenly, Crowza.com
made the pin on Attitude, winning the match & the XMCW Heavyweight Title. Just as Crowza.com & his attorney Christian
Harper were celebrating, Sam Reidler & his corporate referee headed to ringside, & ordering the match to continue because
Attitude's foot was on the rope during the 3 count. The victory & title reign for Crowza.com was short lived. Attitude hit Ed with
the Attitude Adjuster just moments later, gaining the victory & retaining the XMCW Heavyweight Championship Title.
