Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. DX- Shawn Michaels and the Maverick have been on a role. the two legends stole the show at Xtreme Takedown Nite, and this week they've won the tag team titles from the damn near unstoppable Damones, and they've got quite a bit of momentum heading into Wrestlemania 2

2. The Rock- He's number one contender for the Undertaker's undisputed title at Wrestlemania after an impressive showing in the battle royale. He's certainly redeemed his loss to Brim.

3. Travis- he's the new television champion, but there's no time to rest. can he defend the title successfully against Cartwright at Wrestlemania?

4. The Damones- These two drop down a bit after losing their tag team titles, but they still have titles to defend at Wrestlemania. Janelle's challenger is her own brother, Brandon Damone, who's making his debut at the event. Can Janelle retain her title or will big brother prove to be too much to handle? And can Zarel best the Big Red Machine one more time in the Monster's own specialty?

5. The Undertaker- the champion finally makes his way onto the top 5 after an impressive match against fellow legend drunko in addition to his last handicap match against the American Icons. He'd be farther up, but unfortunately both matches resulted in DQs. Taker needs a pinfall victory to move up

Farewell:
Jeff Hardy and Michael Militia-a silent week doesn't help keep you on the top 5.
Brim-the television title loss to travis knocks him right off the top 5

Keep an eye on:
Drunko-He attacked the phenom at the end of the match. one has to wonder what he has in store for the Phenom next

Cartwright- He's got a television title shot at Wrestlemania after af ew impressive showings.

1. The undertaker- the Phenom moves up as a victim of circumstance, since he is the champion and DX didn't have such a hot night last week, coming up short in the tournament to challenge for the title.

2. DX- they were in action, and Shawn tried hard to put sting away early in his match, but it was to no avail. still, they didn't technically lose their matches, so they're still on a roll.

3. Aeron- Aeron defeated the Maverick soundly to win the number 1 contender's spot, and is poised to face the Phenom at Judgment Day.

4. Zarel Damone- the big man kept the momentum going, starting his match with Cartwright off brutally in an attempt to bury him alive. unfortunately, this was a beat the clock sprint, and time was not on his side, so the match went to a no contest.

5. Cartwright- well, he brought it to the big man in the buried alive match, but is set for a rematch with travis in travis' specialty match. time will tell if he can retain his title.

Farewell:
Vincent Sanctuary- victim of circumstance really. he took it to the big red machine but couldn't put him in the casket to win a title shot. he is set to defend against Kane at Judgment Day

Keep an eye on:
Brandon-still rolling towards Judgement day and his first title defense.
Kane-he came at Vincent hard. Can he rebound from his loss to Zarel to win the hardcore title?
Travis- he introduced a new match type, his specialty. his rematch could put him back in the top 5
Trish Stratus-she's the challenger for the cruiser title, but there's a bit of a weight and strength difference between her and the current champion. can the 7 time WWE women's champion and former cruiser champion regain the gold?

1. Vincent Sanctuary-the Big man tops the list again as he comes off a victory over Travis, albeit by disqualification. however, he got the title unification match turned to a hardcore match, and that certainly seems to favor him more than his smaller opponent.

2. Kane-the Big Red Machine will once agian go one on one with his brother the Undertaker, this time with the gold on the line. he defeated Sting soundly this past week to win the right to challenge the Phenom, but can he finally get a hold of the one title in XCW that has eluded him?

3. Zarel Damone-he defeated Krymzon Ghost in Krymzon's debut match here, and is moving on to team with the returning cartwright, replacing MIA Arc Angel and Brody Duncan to challenge for the tag team championships.

4. Through the Pain-they gain momemtum after Tyler defeated Brody Duncan in one on one action. But with the challenge of Zarel and Cartwright, the two certainly have their work cut out for them this Sunday.

5. Brandon Damone-Brandon won back his Cruiser title, but there's no rest for the weary as he must once again enter a triple threat match to defend the gold. can he come out with his title, or will this be a repeat of his last triple threat title defense?

Farewell:
Travis-a disqualifion victory knocks travis right off the top 5. maybe unifying the titles can put him back on it again
The Undertaker-he wasn't in action this week, but a successful title defense would definitely put him back on top of the top 5 again

Keep an eye on:
Janelle Damone-she's a 2 time Cruiser champion, the first in XCW history. with a chance to regain the gold, she's likely to move back onto the top 5, if she can overcome the legendary shawn michaels and her older brother Brandon
Shawn Michaels-it was a narrow loss of the title, and he's got a chance to regain it this Sunday
AJ Styles-he's been racking up wins and theres a rumor that he's next in line to challenge for the television title after the unification match

1. Zarel Damone-he's the only triple crown champion in the history of XCW, but he's found a major problem in his title reign. the former champion, the Undertaker, wants his title back.

2. the Undertaker-after losing his championship in an over the top rope battle royale, the Undertaker made his presence felt, first by demolishing Gravedigger in a very short match to put an end to their rivalry before it began, and then by interfering in the match between the tag team champions, Cartwright and Zarel. He made an exclamation point when he chokeslammed the triple crown champion and motioned for the title belt.

3. AJ Styles-he pulled off an impressive victory, defeating the seemingly unstoppable Vincent Sanctuary and putting a real damper on any plans the big man may have had to step up to challenge for the Undisputed championship.

4. Adam Mastrocola-he pulled off a win in a triple threat match and earned himself a shot at AJ styles' television championship.

5. Shawn Michaels- going into his rematch with Brandon Damone for the Cruiser championship, he defeated Brandon's younger sister, Janelle, in a one on one match, perhaps dashing her hopes at a rematch for the gold.

Farewell:
Cartwright-this wasn't his week. he fought to a no contest with Zarel after Zarel eliminated him in the battle royale for the undisputed title, and the undertaker made him look irrelevant by ignoring him to attack zarel
Brandon Damone-he wasn't in action this week
Vincent-well, he lost the television title just after unifying it with the hardcore title

Keep an eye on:
Krymzon-he's back, and looking good. let's see how he does this week
Saint Joey-he's impressing everyone, and eventually he'll give us that much needed and very convincing win

1. Kane-Kane followed up a destructive PPV appearance with Cartwright with a win over Cartwright's tag team partner, Zarel Damone, for the intercontinental championship, with a little help from his brother. now he has another problem.

2. Jed-Jed hits the top 5 after an impressive demolishing of the big red machine and a win in the six man tag team match that was the main event on impact. Now he's got a shot at Kane's championship in a rivalry that might just redefine Xtreme.

3. The Undertaker- the undertaker drops down a bit due to the fact that Zarel totally overpowered him and tossed him off a stage, costing him the decisive win the Undertaker wanted over the Television champion. But with the last man standing match coming next week, everyone knows that anything can happen, and the phenom could make an impresssive comeback.

4. Christian Cage-Christian made his debut on XCW's Impact and what a debut it was. After berating the XCW Undisputed champion on his lack of sportsmanship and being offered a shot at the WWCW title by the champion, he was granted a match with a man he hadn't faced in years, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. He won, even if he did have to have a little help from Zarel and is set to face Damien Ace for the World Heavyweight championship next week.

5. Shawn Michaels-Shawn breaks into the top 5 despite his loss because he made the biggest impact on Impact that anyone has seen in a while. after being cheated out of his shot at the WWCW World Heavyweight title, he laid out everyone in the ring, including the champion, the new number 1 contender, and the man that cost him the match. He went on to referee the XCW vs WWCW six man tag team match in the main event, and actually cost XCW the win, kicking Cartwright's head off perhaps in some form of payback to Zarel. It seems that he might have joined the WWCW side.

Farewell:
Saint Joey, Christina Parks, and Mystique-unfortunately, all 3 lost matches this week, giving the edge to the WWCW guys
Adam Mastrocola-though he was impressive against the Phenom, the match came to a no contest and everyone else bypassed him on the top 5

Keep an eye on:
Zarel Damone-he had a point to prove, and tonight he did. he isn't afraid of the Phenom and stands as good a chance as anyone of taking the Undertaker down in their last man standing match
Michael Phoenix-he defeated harli this week, and has a big opportunity coming his way in the battle royale next week
Janelle Damone-she was on the winning side this week, and she's also in the battle royale
Matt Shanahan-his debut was definitely Xtreme, and that's what we like to see
Poison-he's a little, er, strange, and he seems intent on destroying matt shanahan in Matt's own unique match type.

1. Zarel Damone & Cartwright-they are the first to unify championships in the XCW vs WWCW war, defeating Damien & Snypa to unify the tag team championships.

2. The Brothers of Destruction-the Undertaker made it clear; going into Hellfire, everyone is an enemy. and he proved his point by making his presence felt in every match involving his opponents and teammates. he chokeslammed shawn michaels, gave zarel a last ride, screwed jed out of a victory over kane, and made his presence felt in the main event, possibly costing damien and snypa teh titles. kane defeated jed to win his rematch at wrestlemania.

3. Poison-he defeated matt shanahan in matt's own match, although he did have a bit of help from rhamm

4. Brandon Damone-he retained his Cruiser title against janelle, forcing her to tap out to the triangle choke.

5. Samoa Dan and Christian Cage-they had a contract signing, and instead of kicking each other's a**, they kicked Damien's.

1. Christian Cage-coming off a victory over Samoa Dan at Hellfire, Christian was again defending the gold, this time against the man he beat for the championship, Damien Ace. And as punishment for Damien pissing the boss off, Jarel made it a lumberjack match and included the entire lockerroom in it. Cage took his bumps from not only Damien, but the Undertaker as well, and still managed to retain his gold.

2. Jed-he unified the WWCW United states title with his XCW Intercontinental championship in a total squash match. now he just has to get past Kane at Wrestlemania

3. The Brothers of Destruction-the brothers began to spread their Ministry of Darkness, bringing back Paul Bearer to do so. And they've finally added the XCW tag team championships to their impressive resume, defeating the XCW Undisputed champion Zarel Damone and his tag team partner, Cartwright, to do it.

4. DX- they had an impressive night, opening the show with Shawn Michaels kicking Zarel off a roof and then announcing their return as a team, then with Brandon earning a hard fought victory over the XCW Television champion, Adam Mastrocola. To cap off the night, they kicked Zarel and Cartwright's teeth down their throats to give the Brothers of Destruction a slight assist in winning the tag team championships.

5. Michael Phoenix-he may have won by disqualification, but a win over the Rock is a win all the same. Now he has to get past Jeff Hardy on his way to Wrestlemania.

Farewell:
Rhamm-didn't have a match on Impact, but he has a television title shot on Warzone to make up for that

Keep an eye on:
Poison-he's set to face Cartwright at Wrestlemania inside Pandora's box, and judging by his performance thus far, cartwright should be worried
Snypa Rifle-he says he's not intimidated by the Phenom. Only time will tell if its true
The Rock-he hasn't won a match since his return, but he's made an impact and is also in the elimination chamber match.
