(The scene opens to "Stand Alone" by Iced Earth playing leading to Pres. Cody walking out to both pops and boos from the audience. He is wearing a fresh looking Armani suit along with a mic in hand. He waits for the crowd to die down and brings the mic up to his mouth.)

Pres. Cody: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I would like to welcome you to another edition of Monday Night Slam Dance. I would like you to congratulate yourself on seeing one of the greatest comebacks in history...my comeback. You see folks, while you have been enjoying New England Wrestling action week after week, I have been behind the scenes building myself back up to my full capacity. You see, after weeks and weeks of everyone abusing my power, and some even taking my power away from me without my permission, I can officially say that I am back to full capacity. I am full owner of New England Wrestling. (The crowd stirs.)

Pres. Cody: You see ladies and gentlemen, myself along with my army of lawyers, showed with little distraction from our offense, that I am the only individual has shown any perseverence in being a true owner along with all the responsibilities that come with being an owner. So, to Abark, you have my respect friend, but you are no longer a part of the management of New England Wrestling.

(Pres. Cody has a sly grin on his face.)

Pres. Cody: And to anyone else, past and present, who thinks they have any type of stake in New England Wrestling....well....you are sorely mistaken now, aren't you. (Pres. Cody begins to laugh as the crowd boos.)

Pres. Cody: Oh come on folks! You saw this coming and you know it! I am the only man who is willing to invest his time and money to making sure this company succeeds, and now no one is in the position to debate that. And finally, I am officially announcing that our January PPV will be END OF AN ERA IV! So with that said, have a wonderful remainder of the evening!

(Pres. Cody walks to the back as the cameras cut to our commentators.)

SaraAnne: Some powerful words by our President, and I think we are all interested in seeing what happens next.

Jason: Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen. Our first match up is Chris Evans vs. Ny…..

Brian: Enough already with the introductions…lets get to the fighting.

Jason: Well put Brian…here comes on of the competitors now.

[Chris Evans begins to make his entrance toward the ring. His entrance music blares through the whole arena. The camera pans around and we can see several of Evans fans holding up signs to cheer on their modern day gladiator. A busty young brunette faints as Evans walk passes and barley touches her hand. Evans finally makes it toward the ring and stands on the second rope and holds his hands high above his head as the crowd cheers his name.]

Crowd: EVANS! EVANS! EVANS! EVANS!

Jason: The crowd just loves this guy.

Brian Please this crowd would love Hitler if he had…..

Jason:….Don’t even finish that statement Brian

Brian: What?

Sara: Whets not to love about him.

Brian: Okay , will you two shut up and stop gawking over the man….My man Ny is out next

[Ny makes his way toward the ring with a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some are heckling Ny while others are screaming for him to rip the head off of Evans. Ny walks over to the same girl and flexes his muscles. The young lady rolls her eyes and turns her back to Ny. Ny then takes a poster from a small child sitting next to her and rips it in half.]

Jason: Oh how immature was that…the bad thing is some of the crowd are cheering him on

Brian: America…they love a bad guy.

Sara: I love em good, bad or in-between

Brian: In-between, in-between what?

Sara: See, me after the show and I’ll show you

Jason: (clears throat) Uh back to the match at hand

[Both men lock arms at the center of the ring. Ny’s strength gets the better of Evans as he is Irish whipped into the turnbuckle. Ny begins striking Evans with an array of punches and kicks in the corner. As Evans body lay limp in the corner Ny picks him up and performs a walking body slam. The loud sound of flesh to flesh and mat to back echoes through the arena, making the crowd scream for more. Ny lifts up Evans leg to go for the quick pin. Evans kicks out on the first count. Evans rises to hi s feet and both me exchange blows once again. Evan kicks Ny in the groin sending Ny hurling over in pain. Evans takes this chance to perform a DDT.]

Jason: He just put his head through the mat

Brian: What is Evans doing…..he’s going to the top rope

Jason: I think it’s Moon Sault time

Brian: Moon Sault! Moon Sault! No wait Ny catches Evans. Evans is in bear hug.

Jason: What a change of events

Brian: Is he…Is he…yes yes.. DAME-NATION!

Jason: Ny is going for the pin.

Ref: 1.…………

Jason: It’s over ladies and gents Ny has just walked out of here with a impressive victory.

Jason: Wait, I'm getting a report from security outside of the parking area that a car just pulled up and demanded entry.

Brian: Who the hell could it be? Do we have a cameraman out there?

Jason: One.

(Picture cuts to the parking lot where people are running out of the way as a black Ford Mustang rolls into view and parks in an available spot near the entrance of the back of the arena. The door pops open and out comes Thanatos just as he was when he left. He slams the door and starts walking towards the inside of the arena.)

Jason: It's him! He's back!

Brian: Wasn't he gone for good?

Jason: Apparently not! The crowd is going wild as Thanatos has arrived back here in New England Wrestling!

(Camera switches to the lockerroom of Carl and Mike Knox.)

Carl: I need to talk to you

Mike: About what

Carl :My match later on tonight

Mike: What about it?

Carl: I need you not to interfere

Mike: But its two on one

Carl: I just got some stuff I need to prove...okay…..Walk with me I’ll tell you more about it

Jason: Looks like Carl Knox has something up his sleeve for his match tonight.

Brian: And if Carl holds true to form, Gimp and Wilson are in major trouble.

Jason: Well, we'll find out later on tonight. Next up we have Tragedy taking on Green Gus. Let's go to the ring.

(The referee calls for the bell and the match starts off. Gus goes for a clothesline, but Tragedy ducks out of the way. Gus hits the turnbuckle front first and staggers out a bit. Tragedy spins him around and then picks him up for a huge spinebuster that twists back to the center of the ring. Tragedy comes up quickly and then heads for the ropes. He comes off and nails Gus with a big splash across the chest. Tragedy goes for the pin. The referee counts: One….two…..Gus kicks up just enough to get his shoulder up!)

Jason: Tragedy is quite focused for this match.

(Tragedy comes up to his feet and waits for Gus to start coming up. Just as he does he heads to the ropes. He nails Gus with a spear that drops him to the mat hard. Tragedy then mounts up and lays in with the first to Gus's face. Gus slowly brings his body out of the hold. Tragedy turns and goes to face Gus, but Gus hits him with a knee to the face that stands him up the rest of the way. Gus with another knee and then a go behind. Gus double chicken-wings Tragedy's arms and takes him over into a tiger suplex, and tries to hold onto the pin. One….Tragedy kicks out!)

Sara: Only a one count? Only a one count?

(Both men come up. Gus hits Tragedy with a kick to the midsection. He then hooks him up and takes him over in a suplex. Gus comes up first and goes to the ropes. Tragedy comes up with a kip up. Gus nails him right to the chest though as he's coming to his feet with a running dropkick. Gus again comes up to his feet. He heads for the ropes again, this time the other side. Gus attempts for a DDT as he comes off, but Tragedy grabs him around the waist and picks him up. Tragedy runs right for the turnbuckle and drives him right into it. Gus holds his lower back as he comes off the turnbuckle. Tragedy stands up the rest of the way and moves Gus onto his shoulder. Tragedy stands up and then sidewalk slams Gus on top of the turnbuckle! Gus's head snaps with the impact.)

Brian: Damn!

Jason: Gus's neck can't be right after that one.

(Tragedy pulls Gus up to his feet and then slaps him around a little bit. Just as Gus appears to be coming to, Tragedy grabs his arm and then lifts him up onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry. Tragedy walks around a little bit, playing up to the crowd. He goes to head for the turnbuckle, but Gus begins to fight. He comes off of Tragedy's shoulders, spinning Tragedy around to kick him in the midsection, but Tragedy counters by grabbing Gus by the throat. Tragedy grabs a handful of tights and lifts Gus up into the air. He holds him for a second up there, and then plants him into the middle of the ring.)

Sara: Blunt's taking the man apart!

(Tragedy pulls Gus back up to his feet. He then puts him back up onto his shoulders again. Tragedy runs towards the corner and steps up the ropes. When he gets to the second rope, he jumps off and hits Gus with The End! Tragedy goes for the pin. One….Two….Three!!!)

(Picture cuts to the office of President Cody with Thanatos sitting in one of the chairs while smiling.)

Pres. Cody: It's good to have you back, man. Things haven't been the same without you and I hope you are going to come back full time to our group.

Thanatos: Well boss, I will do as much as I can for NEW, but I will represent our fine company at any and all NeWA events since you want the best to be leading the charge. Hell, I impressed quite a few people with my performance in that Battle Royale...and got myself a little vengeance in the process.

Pres. Cody: Do what you can Thanny...and I'd like you to at least think about wrestling full time here as well as representing us in the NeWA.

Thanatos: I will give that some thought. Not a whole lot of challenge here anymore...especially not with a Logan holding a belt. Yeah, I know...he doesn't answer to that name anymore. If I was him, I'd be ashamed to be a Logan too...after all, look at what I did to his relative. Jim made the mistake of crossing my path at the Battle Royale and paid the price. I predict the stupidity that runs in the Logan family will cloud that tiny brain of his and he'll start begging for the same treatment.

Pres. Cody: Definitely sounds like it. Should be a great match.

Thanatos: It would be barely a match. A Logan has no place in the ring against the Chosen One of the Druids. But I'm sure I'll be talking about that soon enough, so I'll get to doing what I came here to do. Just keep watching Cody.

Pres. Cody: I always do.

(Thanatos gets up and Cody watches him leave.)

Jason: I don't think Tragedy will like that very much.

Brian: What was your first clue?

("Lose Yourself" by Slim Shady hits the arena as Soldier comes out. He trots down to the ring slowly and slides in. The fans cheer.)

Jason Barret: Soldier looking good tonight... what do you think Brian?

Brian Johnson: Oh.. huh? Oh... Soldier... um... He's looking great.

Jason Barret: Ok???

("Death Blooms" begins to play as a long path of smoke relieved by a hint of midnight blue prolongs down the ramp. Followed by Jade, Deadman emerges from behind the curtain as the two of them begin to walk towards the ring. Ignoring the boos, he stops in front of the ring, and looks up at the house lights. Jade leads the monster into the ring, as he steps over the top, and positions himself in the center of the ring as she does in front of him. He instantaneously shoots his arms up from his sides, and Jade simultaneously points to the camera as a bang causes the lights to turn on.)

SaraAnne: Deadman looking great! He's ready!

Jason Barret: Only time will tell SaraAnne... only time... but now it's time for the ma--

(The lights cut off as ooo's are heard throughout the arena. Purple spotlights hit the floor and the crowd as purple smoke begins to fill in at the entrance. A video reel comes on the big screen, showing shots of Tragedy singing "Tearing Away" with the remaining members of Drowning Pool. It also shows shots of Tragedy in the ring. We hear the words...)

IM... TEARING AWAY!!!

PIECES ARE FALLING... I CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE THEM STAY!!!!

YOU... RUN AWAY!!!!!

FASTER AND FASTER... I CAN'T SEEM TO GET AWAY!!!

BREAK!!!

(As soon as the word "break" is spoken, a huge blast of pyro goes off. The lights go back on immediately as Tragedy makes his way out. The fans go nuts.)

Jason Barret: TRAGEDY IS HERE!!! WHY!?!?!

SaraAnne: HE'S HERE TO COLLECT!!!!

(Tragedy makes his way down to the ring but doesn't slide in. He walks over to the commentary booth. Their is a 4th headset set up. So all four are now on. Tragedy speaks.)

Tragedy: How you doing guys?

SaraAnne: Oh just great Tragedy... hehe

Brian Johnson: Lay off.. haha.

Tragedy: Are you guys ready to call this match!?

Jason Barret: Let's go...

Brian Johnson: Deadman starts things off with a hard headlock on Soldier. These two not too far off on height or weight. Soldier is only 3 inches less in height and 18 pounds light on weight. But it could be enough.

SaraAnne: While he was babbling.. Soldier reversed into his own headlock, but Deadman brought him down to the ground. He brought him down hard too.

Jason Barret: Deadman squeazing hard on the neck of Soldier. The ref tries to make him break it... which he accomplishes, but gets Deadman in his face for it.

Tragedy: Deadman goes back to Soldier. He puts a boot on his chin. He's hurtin and the ref is on him again.

SaraAnne: Deadman backs off but comes right back in and pulls Soldier up.

Jason Barret: Soldier tries to swing at Deadman but he misses. Deadman gets too ego bound and Soldier somehow catches him with a reverse ddt. Great move by Soldier.

Brian Johnson: Soldier is immediately on Deadman. He puts a rear chin lock on him and Deadman starts to squince with the pain.

Tragedy: Soldier lets go and stands up. He begins to kick Soldier over and over again. That's great!

Jason Barret: BUT WAIT!!! Deadman grabs soldier by the foot and trips him up! Deadman has Soldier.... high.... CHOKESLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brian Johnson: Deadman goes for the pin...

1......

2.......

SaraAnne: NO! He got out! Soldier not done yet! Deadman arguing with the ref!

Tragedy: See.. that's going to get you nowhere... dumbass!!

Brian Johnson: Try telling him that...

SaraAnne: Deadman is really mad. He's arguing a slow count...

Jason Barret: Soldier from behind... quick roll up... this could be it!!

1......

2......

Tragedy: NO! Deadman kicks out! Those two pin counts sounded the same to me. I don't see any problem with it.

Brian Johnson: And neither does Deadman... now!

SaraAnne: Both men up quickly.... They start throwing hands.. left.. right.. left.. right.. both men going at it hard!!

Jason Barret: Soldier has the upper hand... he knocks Deadman down!!

Tragedy: Alright guys... it's my time to shine!!

(Tragedy gets up.)

Brian Johnson: Wait... where is Tragedy going!?!?!

(Tragedy leaves his seat and gets up on the outside turnbuckle. Soldier is about to go for the pin, but he catches Tragedy in his view. He just looks at him. Soldier waves for Tragedy to come into the ring. Tragedy slides in and the ref goes at him immediately. Deadman is standing up and Soldier doesn't see him. He turns around.)

Brian Johnson: HUGE BOOT TO THE FACE!! SOLDIER IS DOWN!!!

SaraAnne: HE HAS HIM UP!!! FULL-NELSON SLAM!!!!! THAT SHOULD BE IT!!!

Jason Barret: HE MAKES THE PIN!!!!

1......

2......

3......

(the bell sounds)

Brian Johnson: Tragedy inadvertently distracted Soldier and caused Deadman the win. I don't think Soldier will be too mad though... Deadman is up, and doesn't realize Tragedy is right behind him.

(Deadman up, holding his title up, as the ref holds his hand up. Deadman turns around with that title in one hand and is other in air, and as soon as he sees Tragedy he stops dead in his tracks. Before he can stop it, Tragedy tosses a steel chair at Deadman. Obviously, he catches it so it doesn't hit him, and as soon as he does...)

Jason Barret: FAT-LADY-SINGING!!!!!! FAT-LADY-SINGING!!!!! AGAINST THE CHAIR!!! DEADMAN IS OUT COLD!!!!!

(Tragedy drops the chair beside Deadman. He grabs the title and lays it on top of Deadman upside down. He laughs as he exits the ring and heads back up to the back.)

SaraAnne: Next up is Strip taking on Lion Jennings.)

(Strip and Jennings lock up, and the much large Strip easily drives Jennings back towards the ropes. Strip grabs Jennings and whips him towards the opposite ropes. Jennings comes off the ropes, and ducks under a clothesline from Strip. He hits the ropes again and leaps into the air as he comes off with a cross body block. Strip catches Jennings in mid air, and holds him there for a second before dropping him down into a rib breaker. Strip holds on and lifts him back into the air and then drops him back down onto his knee with a second rib breaker.)

Jason: Strip taking control early, and man handling the smaller Jennings.

(Strip pulls Jennings back to his feet and hooks up with him and blasts him with a huge snap suplex. He quickly rolls back on top of Jennings for the pin. 1…….2…….)

Sara: And Jennings getting the shoulder up easily there.

(Strip grabs the arm of Jennings and locks in an arm bar. Strip really yanking down on the arm, and Jennings yells out in pain.)

Brian: Strip locked in deep with that armbar.

Jason: But here comes Jennings back to his feet.

(Jennings fights his way back to a vertical base and kicks Strip in the gut. A second kick to the gut forces Strip to release the arm bar. Jennings moves right into Strip and forces him back into the ropes. Jennings whips Strip towards the opposite side ropes. He hits the ropes and comes back, and Jennings drops down to the mat and catches Strip with a drop toehold. Jennings quickly grabs the left leg of Strip and locks in an ankle lock in the center of the ring.)

Brian: Jennings trying to take out the legs of the much larger Strip. I've got to say this is a sound strategy.

Sara: Strip struggling towards the ropes.

(Strip reaches out towards the bottom rope and just misses it. Jennings tries to pull Strip back away from the ropes, but he reaches out again and grabs onto the bottom rope with one hand. The ref comes in and calls for the break. Jennings quickly lets go, but goes right back on the attack. He yanks Strip away from the ropes and drops down and hooks the leg for the pin, 1………2…………right shoulder up.)

Sara: Quick pin attempt there by Jennings after the ankle lock.

Jason: Definitely the right idea there, try and get while he is thinking about the pain.

(Jennings pulls Strip back to his feet from behind. He grabs him by the head and falls back with a reverse DDT. Jennings again quickly goes for the pin, 1……..2………..3………NO!)

Jason: Anther quick pin attempt by Jennings, almost had Strip there.

Brian: I'm starting to like this guy. Might be small, but he takes the fight right to the bigger Strip.

[Jennings pops right back to his feet and flies to the corner. He quickly climbs to the top just as Strip gets to his feet. Strip slowly turns around and Jennings leaps off the top rope and connects square with a missile drop kick. Jennings going for the pin again, 1………2…

Sara: That's it!!!

Jason: No!!! The ref is calling it a two count. I don't think that could have been any closer.

(Jennings yanks Strip back to his feet and whips him into the corner. He stalks in after him and blats him in the gut with a stiff punch. Jennings quickly follows it up with a snap kick to the knee of Strip. Strip slumps in the corner as Jennings unleashes anther quick blow with an uppercut.)

Brian: Jennings is ALL OVER Strip.

(Jennings does a back hand spring and as soon as he lands on his feet and unleashes a vicious super kick. Jennings grabs Strip and rolls him up with an inside cradle for the pin, 1………2………..NO!!!!!!)

Jason: I thought the last one was close, but that was even closer.

Sara: How in the world did Strip kick out of that one?

Brian: I don't know but Jennings looks like he has this one about won.

(Jennings again heads up to the top rope, and again beats Strip to his feet. He waits as Strip finally gets to his feet. Strip turns around and Jennings leaps off. He lands on the shoulders of Strip for a hurricanrana, but he has enough sense to block it and plants Jennings to the canvas with a huge powerbomb. The crowd erupts for Strip as he finally gets back on the offensive and makes the cover. 1………2………..No!!!)

Jason: Strip almost stole that one there.

Brian: Ah no worries, Jennings has this one still locked up.

(Both guys are laying on the canvas after the attempted pin. Jennings, even after the powerbomb is the first one to start to move. Strip gets to his hands and knees, as Jennings reaches his feet. Jennings unleashes a nasty kick to the ribs of Strip that sends him back down to the canvas. Jennings reaches down and pulls Strip back to his feet. He goes to whip Strip towards the ropes, but Strip reverses and sends him in instead. Jennings hits the ropes and comes back towards Strip. He catches Jennings with a huge power slam. Strip can't hold onto him though and after they both hit the mat, he rolls off of Jennings and both men are on the canvas.)

Jason: Strip may have been able to get the pin there if he had enough left in him to get there.

Brian: Jennings is starting to make mistakes; this guy needs a manager or something to calm him down.

(This time both men slowly get up to there at about the same time. Jennings charges in towards Strip and drives him back to the corner. Jennings goes to throw a right hand, but Strip blocks it and lets go with one of his own. Jennings tries to throw another one, but again is blocked, and Strip returns one of his own. Strip grabs Jennings and throws him in the corner and starts to go to work with rights and lefts. The crowd is going nuts as Strip unleashes his finally punch that drops Jennings to the mat.)

Sara: The crowd is really starting to get behind Strip here.

Brian: Someone needs to shut these idiots up.

(Strip pulls Jennings to his feet and whips him towards the opposite corner. Strip rushes in after him and blasts him with a clothesline. Strip again grabs Jennings and whips him towards the opposite corner and follows him in a second time and blasts him with a second clothesline. He turns him around in the corner and lifts him up onto his shoulders in a torture rack position. Strip moves towards the center of the ring and then launches Jennings around with a hanging vertical suplex.)

Jason: Hanging vertical suplex!!!! This one could be over!!

(Strip hooks the leg of Jennings for the pin, 1……..2……….3)

Sara: NO!!!!!!!!!!!

(The crowd lets out a "Oh" as they thought it was over. Strip doesn't even waste a second as he rolls Jennings back onto his stomach and locks in the dragon sleeper in the center of the ring, with the pressure focused on the left shoulder blade of Jennings.)

Brian: Dragon Sleeper in the center of the ring, I don't think Jennings has the strength to crawl towards the ropes from here.

(Jennings starts to struggle and push himself towards the ropes with his feet. He moves maybe a foot closer to the ropes, and Strip yanks back even harder. Jennings lets out a grunt of pain and tries to move towards the ropes without any success. The ref is right there checking on it. Jennings, unable to tap, tells the ref he has had enough, and the bell rings.)

Jack: The winner of the match, by submission, Strip!!!!!

Sara: Strip wins it!

Jason: Jennings put up a fight, but in the end it was Strip with the submission hold. It's going to be a good day for the man from Vegas.

Jason: And we head into our main event folks! Jason: Now for our main event. A handicapped match

Brian: Two against on I love those odds

Jason: The Gimp and Woodrow Wilson vs. The Xtreme Champion Carl Knox

Brian: Carl made and announcement last week to face these two guys and they want a piece of Carl as well…I guess they got what they wanted

[Dudes with Attitude make their way to the ring as they begin to warm up the lights go black and Jay Z’s “I Show You How To Do This Son” Comes over the speakers. We an see highlights of Carl Knox and other members of the Legion. Carl enters the arena as pyro begins to go off. Carl is accompanied by his brother Mike Knox. The to men walk down the ramp never blinking or show any acknowledge to the fans screaming their name. Mike walks over toward the announcer table and pulls up a seat between Jason and Brian. Carl makes his way into the ring and stares down both men ]

Mike: Hello…Brian, Jason……Sara. You don’t mind if I join you guys do you,

Brain: Sure have a seat

Jason: Now we all heard what your brother said are you going to abide by his wishes and not interfere.

Mike: I won’t leave this seat till the match is over

Jason: With that being said our match is under way

[Carl and Woodrow Wilson stand in the center of the ring. The Gimp hops over to his corner and begins to root on his partner. Wilson charges head firs into Carl, but is met with a close line. The close line stuns Wilson but he hops right back up and once again looks Carl eye to eye. Both men exchange evil looks then lock up. Wilson gets the advantage and pushes Carl into the corner with the Gimp gleefully waiting. Both men begin to pound on Carl.]

Jason: This is what happens in a handicapped match. Strength in numbers will win it for you every time

Mike: No worries…I’ve been in the ring with both those guys ..they hit like women

Jason: Yet you lost to them

Mike: Do you want me to slap you…cause I can

Brian: Yeah Shut up Jason before he puts you in the Hard Knox

Sara: I just love a Hard Knox

Mike: I bet you do

Jason:: You love anything hard

Sara: No just any man…“hard”

[Carl manages to push Wilson to the mat, he then hit’s the Gimp with and elbow to the face. The Gimp hit’s the outside of the ring and holds his face. Carl walks over to Wilson and Sidewalk slams him. Carl goes for the quick pin but Wilson kicks out. Carl begins to pound Wilson with a flurry of punches then sends him for and Irish whip. On Wilson’s return he strikes Carl in the groin sending him to the mat in pain. Wilson crawls over and tags The Gimp. The Gimp hovers over Carl mimicking him in pain. The Gimp then picks Carl up to his feet and choke slam’s him]

1.……..

2.…….

Jason: It’s not looking good for Carl

*smack* Mike: Shut up

[Carl by a hair’s breadth kicks out before the ref hand touches the mat. The Gimp looks astonished to see Carl break the pin fall. The Gimp snaps out of his days and goes back to work on Carl. The Gimp signals to the crowd that it is time to end the match. He tags in Wilson . Wilson put Carl in a head lock setting up The Shot In The Arm. The Gimp hops back to get a good bearing on Carl’s head, he then jumps up and Performs a one legged drop kick. Carl pushes Wilson in the path of the drop kick and it knocks him out cold. Carl grabs The Gimp and performs the Double Power bomb. Carl sluggishly makes his way to the corner of the ring facing Mike and gives him a signal]

Mike: Well guys gotta go…excuse me.

[Mike reaches under the ring and grabs two metal cans of gasoline He pours it all around the ring , then pulls out Carl lucky red lighter and sets the gas on fire. The Flame quickly catches and forms am circular wall inside the ring. Mike manages to throw in a table into the ring that Carl is now setting up. As Carl picks up Wilson the table begins to catch fire. Carl still Power bombs Wilson into the burning table. The Gimp is still out cold from the move that Carl performed on him moments ago. Carl goes for The Sharpshooter and signals the Ref to see if Wilson has tapped out. The Ref hesitates from fear for a moment and then begins to ask Wilson does he tap. Wilson immediately does]

Jason: Oh my Goodness…THE RING, THE RING,THE RING IS ON FIRE

Brian: We don’t need no water let the mother…oh sorry

Jason: Carl Knox has just won his match by tap out in the middle of an inferno.

Brian: Shut up…Carl is about to talk

Carl: This is just a small lesson in your education here in the NEW. You play with fire you get BURNED!

(Breadfan by Metallica plays over the arena speakers and the crowd starts going berserk as Thanatos walks from behind the curtain and towards the ring. He goes to either side of the ramp, slapping hands until he gets to the ring and slides in. Jack Darling throws him his mic and Thanatos motions for the crowd to quiet.)

Thanatos: That's right people. I'm back and wrestling once more. There are fans that think I have betrayed them and Deadman for coming back after this last time. Wrong. Anyone who knows any bit of history with me knows that if I am commanded, I will come back regardless of whatever promise I happen to make. Just before Thanksgiving, I stepped in the ring and represented this company for the greatest alliance there is...the NeWA. I was called back into battle by forces unknown to all those assembled here...and they are the masters in which I follow. They commanded me to come back and do battle once more under the banner of NEW and the first huge PPV I've seen this company take a part in. Sure, we have big shows here with this company, but when you involve an alliance like the NeWA, it's just bound to be bigger than anything we ever could hope to see.

(Thanatos pauses, but starts talking again.)

Thanatos: I wish I could've gone farther for you guys...but I made it as far as I could in this Battle Royale. Out of twenty-nine others, I was the sixth one left in the ring. I had to be the last of four to be guaranteed a quarterfinal spot, but that wasn't meant to be. This event showed me that I never lost a step after being gone from the ring for so long, and if I'm invited to the Lou Thesz Annual Tournament, then I will try to push my way past all the others in this tournament and show them what NEW is all about. I'm sure you all know that I won't be here full time, but that might change in the near future as more free time happens and I don't have NeWA events to represent us at. Gods know that you need some better people out there.

(Crowd boos at the mention of that name.)

Thanatos: But I am not here tonight to bust the chops of one of the pathetic members of the Logan family. My purpose here is to announce that I am back for the time being until the summons is heard once more and I have to leave. Until that day, I am serving notice to all here in NEW that I will do all in my power to represent our federation in the NeWA and annihilate any who choose to stand in my way. This will also serve as a chance for those who wish to test their mettle against the Hall of Famer, and see where they stand. I am looking forward to testing myself against the new blood here in New England Wrestling as well as those who have fought me before. I know that I will not win every single battle, but if my record shows anything, it will be that I will have many more wins than losses when the call is heard and I must return to the mists for the final horn and to do my duty as foretold. I am the herald of prophecy as I tell all of you that three others will join me in my quest to destroy what is poisoning this federation. Who will those people be, you might ask? Every man, woman and child will know soon enough as I marshall my forces for the confrontation with the enemy. I will not seek any jump in ranking as is due to someone of my stature, and I will earn my shots as I have since I started wrestling. All I request of Cody is to give me a match and I will be here next week. You have your wish Cody...I am back...so give me someone worthy. So let it be written, so let it be done. None shall stand in my way!!!

(Crowd cheers as Thanatos drops the mic and rolls out of the ring as the scene fades to black.)
