("Death Blooms" begins to play as a long path of smoke relieved by a hint of midnight blue prolongs down the ramp.)

Jason: And it looks like we're kicking off the evening, being welcomed by the N.E.W. Heavyweight Champion, Deadman!

(Deadman emerges from behind the curtain dressed in a black suit and a pair of sunglasses as he slowly walks towards the ring.)

Sara: Here he comes!

Brian: And it looks like he's still in his presidential attire, all dressed up; just arriving from overseas in the United Kingdom where HWA is holding their Civil Disobedience tour! *PLUG*

Jason: What, did he pay you to say that?

(Ignoring the crowd's mixed reaction, he stops in front of the squared circle, and looks up at the house lights, before walking up the ring steps and over the top rope. The lights slowly turn on as Deadman is handed a microphone from Jack Darling. Deadman slowly brings the microphone to his mouth and waits for the crowd to quiet before he speaks.)

Deadman: Before I begin... There's something I want to play back to all of you from a couple weeks ago, where both Joseph W. Rival and myself stood in this very ring, and the truth was revealed..... The truth about the Brotherhood.... The truth about Joseph.... And the truth about me... So please. If you will? Roll the footage!

(The New England TRON flickers to life, and on the screen, Joseph is shown standing face-to-face with Deadman.)

Joseph W. Rival III: Why Deadman WHY!?

(Joseph pulls the microphone away from his mouth for an instant and smirks, looking away to some extent before bringing the mike, back to his mouth and staring right back up at Deadman. At this time, Blackbird has rolled out of the ring and ascended the ramp towards the backstage area.)

Joseph W. Rival III: Why? Because there was only one man…. Only ONE MAN…

(Joseph pokes Deadman on his chest and frowns angrily. Deadman's eyes widen as he looks down at Rival's index finger which meets his pectoral. The crowd "ooohs.")

Joseph W. Rival III: Only one man who was capable of doing what was done to me. Only one man could have had the wits and physical competence combined to keep the name of the aggressor who put me out of commission, behind closed doors. Only one man–

(Joseph continues to press his finger into Deadman's chest but the crowd cheers as Deadman snatches the microphone from Joseph's hand. Deadman peers at the crowd and then back at Rival who narrows his brows.)

Deadman: Brother Joseph….

(The crowd stirs and Deadman pauses.)

Deadman: That's because... The attacker?

(He holds the microphone away from his mouth for a moment as he rolls his shoulders and tilts his head cracking his neck. Joseph continues to fume inside before Deadman brings the microphone back to his mouth.)

Deadman: IT WAS ME!

Jason/Sara/Brian: WHAT?!!

Jason: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Deadman was like a father to Joseph at the time… How could he?!

(Joseph doesn't hesitate to expel a series of closed fists to Deadman who returns with fists of his own.)

Jason: These two are tearing each other apart!!!

(Backstage officials rush to the ring and hold the two men apart. Deadman is first to break off into the corner at his own will, while the officials focus on the haywire Joseph.)

Jason: Rival wants to rip Deadman's head off!!!

Brian: Wait it looks like he's calming down now…

(Joseph points a finger at Deadman from the other side of the ring as the officials slowly back off. Just as they do, Joseph seizes the moment and charges at Deadman, leaping over the crowd of officials and onto Deadman in the corner throwing right hands.)

Jason: JOSEPH EXPLODES INTO THE CORNER!!!!

Sara: Listen to this crowd!!!

Jason: Joseph's finally stands up to the big man!

Brian: Come on now! This isn't right! This isn't an honorable way of competition! Come on now! Break 'em up!

(The officials wrench Joseph off of Deadman once again and restrain him into the corner.)

Jason: These officials are having a heck of a time restraining Joseph!

Sara: Wait a minute!!!

(Suddenly both Joseph and Deadman as a team, plow through the officials and clear the ring as the crowd starts to chant, "LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!" The two come face to face once again but Deadman grimaces a smile and backs up, taking himself backwards over the ropes and to the outside of the ring.)

Jason: What the hell?? Is Deadman high tailing it?!

(Joseph charges towards the ropes and like a caged animal, stands on the second rope with his left arm supporting his weight on the top and his right pointing at Deadman who smiles and backs up the ramp with the crowd booing.)

(The New England TRON fades back to Deadman in the ring, and the fans in the arena booing.)

Deadman: Ask yourselves for a moment.... Why are you booing? Why are you jeering a man of honor. A man who would rather choose to wrestle a man in an organized strife rather than a poppycock scuffle?

Brian: Ha! Bet he learned that word from the English!

Deadman: Because you people haven't any honor yourselves!

(They boo again, maliciously.)

Deadman: And then you wonder, why you are here? Why none of you, and why Joseph wasn't raptured? Because you...

(Deadman starts pacing around the ring pointing at the fans.)

Deadman: You! You! You! And YOU! All of you!

(He gesticulates.)

Deadman: All of you chose to rebel... and Joseph W. Rival chose to bestow mutiny on the greater authority; that put words in my mouth, and tried to lead all of you in the right direction. In the TRUE direction..... But none of you listened..... None of you adhered with my words -- not within the walls of the Brotherhood, nor outside of those undrinkable walls of transgressive moonshine... And for that, each and every one of you, along side Joseph W. Rival will perish!

(The crowd boos some more...)

Deadman: But I suppose your inevitable fate is not what you question at this moment.... I guess what I've left you to ponder for the past couple of weeks has finally led most of you to ask the all too obvious and repetitive, "Why?"

(Deadman rests his arms on the top rope with the slightest smirk across his face.)

Deadman: Why did I attack Joseph W. Rival, my Brotherhood apprentice? The answer is quite simple really, and it doesn't take a genius to figure it out that the Brotherhood was a curse. A Satanic organization of so-called "faith" that preached positive values, and doctrines of fellowship so that one could gain a considerable bond with another... So that one could gain knowledge of the other -- thus attaining power... Power over all of its congregation. Power to destroy. The Brotherhood preached the TRUTH to develop its own LIES. You see, the Brotherhood took over my soul, took over my inner-being as it were, and possessed me to do what I did -- and that was to cripple Joseph. To put him out of commission!

Jason: Yeah, but Joseph's still walking! You couldn't do it Deadman!

Brian: SHH!

Deadman: The voices of the Brotherhood were screaming to me, and telling me that Brother Joseph was crying out to me... Crying, and begging, and pleading for me to teach him a lesson.... That Brother Joseph was supplicating a request for punishment, and a lesson of unadulterated physicality.

(Deadman lowers his head, and shakes it, sighing.)

Deadman: I gave to him what he asked for... What the voices of the Brotherhood were telling me to give to him. The Brotherhood teaches that we ought to live as a progression to what we give to this world....

(He pauses with the crowd stirring.)

Deadman: And so I -gave- him a discernible, and very REAL taste of the dark side... A taste of what he ought to avoid... An example of abstinent pain that ultimately put him in a wheelchair!

Sara: That man is SICK!

Brian: Shush!

(He lowers his head again, along with his voice.)

Deadman: But despite the physical suffering that Joseph went through, he didn't learn.... He didn't learn a damn thing.... he took that physical assault, and saw it through a screen of hatred and anger. I taught him to forgive -- and he couldn't forget.

(The New England TRON once again flickers to life and plays the reminder of Joseph's response to Deadman's confession.)

(Joseph doesn't hesitate to expel a series of closed fists to Deadman who returns with fists of his own.)

Jason: These two are tearing each other apart!!!

(Backstage officials rush to the ring and hold the two men apart. Deadman is first to break off into the corner at his own will, while the officials focus on the haywire Joseph.)

Jason: Rival wants to rip Deadman's head off!!!

Brian: Wait it looks like he's calming down now…

(Joseph points a finger at Deadman from the other side of the ring as the officials slowly back off. Just as they do, Joseph seizes the moment and charges at Deadman, leaping over the crowd of officials and onto Deadman in the corner throwing right hands.)

Jason: JOSEPH EXPLODES INTO THE CORNER!!!!

Sara: Listen to this crowd!!!

Jason: Joseph's finally stands up to the big man!

Brian: Come on now! This isn't right! This isn't an honorable way of competition! Come on now! Break 'em up!

(The officials wrench Joseph off of Deadman once again and restrain him into the corner.)

Jason: These officials are having a heck of a time restraining Joseph!

Sara: Wait a minute!!!

(Suddenly both Joseph and Deadman as a team, plow through the officials and clear the ring as the crowd starts to chant, "LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!" The two come face to face once again but Deadman grimaces a smile and backs up, taking himself backwards over the ropes and to the outside of the ring.)

Deadman: And when I saw the lies behind the so-called "truth" of the Brotherhood, I came to the reality... The REAL truth. The truth of the Gospel. And with that truth, I tried to warn you. I tried to warn Joseph... but he, nor any of you, heeded my message of that truth... He, nor any of you, heeded my message of that way, and that life. How did you respond? You respond with the irrevocable desire for violence. "LET THEM FIGHT" You cheered, "LET THEM FIGHT"!

(The crowd restarts the chant.)

Deadman: And as God's wish for myself and the rest of the Horsemen to cleanse the earth of the dirty remains that you are.....

(They instantly scold with boos.)

Deadman: Joseph W. Rival and I -will- fight.

(The crowd cheers.)

Deadman: And we will do it... At REBIRTH III - The Birth of a New Era... for the N.E.W. Heavyweight Championship!!!

(Suddenly Deadman is interrupted by Joseph W. Rival's theme song as he step out onto the apron with a microphone.)

Jason: UH OH! Business is about to pick up!! Here comes Joseph, and he's got a microphone!!

(The music quiets and Joseph holds the microphone to his mouth.)

Joseph: Woah woah woah... Wait just a second Deadman. I accept your challenge--

(Deadman interrupts.)

Deadman: As I knew you would --

Joseph: SHUT UP!

(The crowd pops.)

Joseph: You know what Deadman? I accept your challenge, but under one condition....

Deadman: Oh? And what's that "Brother" Joseph?

Joseph: YOU PUT YOUR CAREER ON THE LINE!!!

(The crowd cheers and Deadman squints.)

Jason: Oh my! That's quite a proposal.... Deadman versus Joseph W. Rival at the biggest N.E.W. spectacle of all time-- With Deadman's title and career on the line!?

Joseph: So what do ya say big man?

(Deadman shifts his head to either side, peering at the jam packed Fairgrounds arena before holding the microphone back to his mouth.)

Deadman: Okay.....

(The crows roars.)

Deadman: .... I'll do it. My belt and career on the line....

Jason: Well there ya have it! Deadman's title and career is on the line!!

Deadman: But under one condition... We do this on my terms.... We do this the HONORABLE way. No guns no knives, no chairs, no interference. One ring. Two men.... In a match of endurance.

Sara: Uh oh... Is he thinking what I think he's thinking?

Brian: I don't know what I think you think he's thinking!

Sara: What do you mean you don't know what you think I think he's thinking?

Brian: I mean I don't know what I think you think I think I don't know what I think think thunker thank skin-a-ma-rinky-dink-ee-dink, think, what you think he's thinking!

Sara: HUH???

Brian: Never mind.

Deadman: That's right... It'll be Joseph W. Rival verses Deadman at Rebirth III - The Birth of a New Era - for the N.E.W. Heavyweight Championship.... In an IRON MAN MATCH!!!!

Jason: OH MY!!!! DEADMAN VERSES RIVAL IN AN IRON MAN MATCH!!!!!

(The crowd goes wild and Joseph smiles.)

Joseph: You're on Deadman..... I've got nothing to lose.

Deadman: Oh? That's what you think! You see, if I'm putting both my title and my career on the line.... And if this is truly going to be an Iron Man match of Honor.... Then there will indeed be something for you to lose.... Because Joseph, if you -do- in fact lose, then you lose your soul.... And you become the personal slave of the Horsemen!

Brian: How about THAT proposal, eh Jason?!

(Joseph looks hesitant at first, but narrows his brows and responds.)

Joseph: I said YOU'RE ON, BITCH!!!

Deadman: Then we have ourselves a little deal.....

Jason: OH MY!! Things are really heating up, just two weeks away from Rebirth III!!! What's this? Something's going on outside....

(The camera flashes to the back....Hanging from the Fairground sign are dummies of Deadman, Nightstalker and Thanatos, with a Pagan one upside down. All four are set ablaze....Underneath the burning dummies are three fiery letters, D-W-O.......)

Jason: Simon Tyrell and Predator are already in the ring. The entrance for the TV Champion, Strip is about to begin!

Jack Darling: And, from Las Vegas Nevada, weighing 285 lbs and standing 6’7, he is the newly crowned TV Champion, The Strip!!

(The NEW-Tron starts to shake with the heavy bass and keyboards of "YEAH" by Usher.)

(At the first "Yeah" Strip hops out into the spotlight, wearing a Patriot County High School Jacket and Hat; and around the coat, the NEW TV Title.)

(He dances down the ramp and spins his hat backwards as the song changes to "Wild West Show" by Big and Rich. The Nashville crowd goes wild, hearing the members of the MusikMafia at an NEW show.)

(Strip dances up the steps and through the ropes, ready for battle.)

Sara Anne: One of the most heinous and despicable things I’ve seen in awhile was perpetrated by this man last week. He tore the flesh off of Harbinger’s face last week!

Brian: Well, that’s what barbed wire does, Sara Anne! It’s not cotton wire, it’s barbed wire!

Jason: And a large portion of the audience is boo’ing The Strip. A few however, are cheering.

Brian: This is Tennessee, these fans love hardcore action. I’m surprised more aren’t cheering! What is wrong with these people?

Jason: And Diamond Joe calls for the bell! We are under way!

Brian: All three men staring each other down. This is good! Each man is staring down the other two!

Sara Anne: And Strip is nearing Predator, looking like he’s going to attack, but wait!

Jason: He faked out Tyrell! Strip got near Predator, then turned around and layed one HELLACIOUS clothesline!

Brian: And Predator looks to pounce, hitting Strip with some vicious rights and lefts!

Sara Anne: Diamond Joe warning Predator to stay away from closed fists!

Jason: All three men in this match very similar in both height and weight. Predator throws Strip into the ropes and gives him a back body drop!!

Brian: What ELEVATION he got on that! He sent Strip to the MOON!

Sara Anne: Call him Alice!

Jason: Strip slowly getting up, Predator now looks at Tyrell who charges at him!

Brian: Powerslam by Predator!!! Tyrell ran right into it!

Sara Anne: A hothead by any other name...

Jason: Predator covers Tyrell!

One...

Two...

Jason: Elbow drop by The Strip!!!

Sara Anne: That may have been it!

Brian: We’ll never know! Predator rolls off of Tyrell and Strip gives him another elbow drop to the back of his neck! Predator is dazed!

Jason: And confused! Tyrell is pulling himself up by the ring ropes...Strip grabs Tyrell from behind and locks in the Dragon Sleeper!

Sara Anne: Predator clotheslines Strip!

Jason: Strip NEVER saw it coming!!! He had the Dragon Sleeper on Tyrell, he wasn’t even paying attention, Predator bounced off the ropes and BAM!!!

Brian: Settle down there, Emeril!

Sara Anne: Predator now picks up Tyrell, FISTS OF FURY by Predator!!

Jason: Strip is getting up slowly, he’s disoriented.

Brian: Strip better heed his own advice, he cannot afford to play p—

Jason: POWERBOMB by Predator!!! He covers Tyrell!

One................

Two................

Thr—

Jason: Oh I swear! Diamond Joe’s hand was INCHES away from the three count when Strip again elbow dropped Predator!

(Crowd boos Strip)

Sara Anne: This Nashville crowd not liking Strip prolonging the inevitable.

Brian: He’s just doing what he has to do to retain his title! He’s not letting Predator or Tyrell walk out of here with his belt. That’s what I call a fighting champion!

Jason: Predator gets up, and Strip knees him in the mid-section! He grabs Predator and puts him an a wristlock.

Brian: BORING!

Sara Anne: Strip throws Predator against the turnbuckle, grabs him and, Russian legsweep!

One................

Two...

Jason: Kickout by Predator!

Brian: Predator and Strip punching each other, DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE by Tyrell!!! Finally some offense by Tyrell!

Sara Anne: Tyrell gives Predator a cradle piledriver! And he gives Strip a snap DDT!

Jason: He covers both men!

One..........................................

Two.....................

Thr—

Brian: I DON”T BELIEVE IT!

Jason: Strip and Predator kick out at the same time, barely before the three count! UNREAL!

Brian: Tyrell is livid! He picks up The Strip, but Strip cradles him!

One.........

Two.......

Sara Anne: Kickout! Strip kicks Tyrell, and sets him up for a hanging vertical suplex!!

Jason: The blood rushing to Tyrells head as Strip holds him up in the air, what strength by The Strip!

Brian: WAIT a MINUTE! DROP SHOT BY PREDATOR!!!!

Jason: WHAT CARNAGE!!!! Predator just gave The Drop Shot to Strip, which knocked him down and Tyrell just went flying to the outside floor!

Sara Anne: The vertical suplex was locked in, Strip was not in the middle of the ring, he was standing more near the ropes, Predator nailed it, knocking Strip down and out, Tyrell went crashing down!!!

Brian: This is what I’m talking about. Pulling out all the stops! Strip spoke about elevating the TV Title past it’s usual spot on the card, and this match may just do that!!!

Jason: Predator picks up The Strip for a DVD!!!

Sara Anne: He’s holding Strip up on his shoulders, he is wasting time, just do it already!

Brian: Wait! Strip gets free and hooks in the Dragon Sleeper!!!

Jason: Predator rolls out of it though!! Strip grabs Predator and throws him in the ropes!!

Sara Anne: Predator gets tangled in the ropes. Strip goes to attack, but stops! What is he doing???

Brian: MORON!! This isn’t some school lesson! Finish it! Time is up, the test is over, put down the pencil and finish it!

Jason: He rolls out of the ring, and grabs Tyrell, lift him up and rolls him in the ring. Tyrell is still out cold from dropping a good 9 feet to the unforgiving mat!

Brian: Now this is a smart strategy! He covers the lifeless body!

One............

Jason: Predator is trying to untangle himself!

Two........

Jason: He gets free and rushes towards Strip!

Three....

Jason: Predator falls on the cover JUST after Diamond Joe’s hand hits the mat for three! It’s over!

Jack Diamond: Your winner, as a result of pinfall, after 12 minutes and 46 seconds, The Strip!!

Jason: Predator chokes Strip and throws him into the ropes, but he slides out and grabs his TV Title from Jack Darling and walks up the rampway! Predator looks down at Tyrell’s unconscious body, and realizes what could have been tonight! But Strip retains in the end!

Jack Darling: Your next match is a one fall contest, with a thiry minute time limit and is a semi-final match in the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship tournament.

("Here To Stay" begins to play as Joseph Rival comes out to the ring.)

Jack Darling: The first contestant, from Orlando, Florida, coming down the ramp, Joseph W. Rival.

(Rival enters the ring and stretches against the ropes.)

Jack Darling: The second contestant, from Atlanta, Georgia, accompanied by his manager, Beth, American Hero!

(Pyros light the fairgrounds. Hero walks down the ramp with Beth holding onto his arm. Hero holds the ropes open for Bethm then enters behind her.)

Jason: This match is bound to be a classic, both men having made significant moves in the last few weeks. Hero, undefeated since his debut and Rival taking out the current NorthEastern champ, Carl Knox, just a few weeks ago.

Sara-Anne: Beth has proved that she is not just eye candy.

Brian: Oh, but a lick I'd like to have.

Jason: Diamond Joe calls for the bell – and we're off. Quick dropkick to the knees by Rival takes Hero down, he goes to the ropes to … OH Rival falls on his face – looks like Beth had a hand in that.

Brian: My kind of woman.

Sara-Anne: Don't let Hero hear you say that.

Jason: Hero is up, grabs Rival by the head, whips him into the corner, big clothesline.

Sara-Anne: Rival nearly does a backflip on that one.

Jason: Hero picks Rival up again, looks like a body slam – oh, a running powerslam.

Brian: Both men bounced off the mat for that one.

Sara-Anne: This is too easy for the big man.

Brian: AND Beth, that cheap shot artist.

Jason: Rival is stunned – Hero is making his way to the top rope, he's tapping his elbow pad. And down on .. the MAT, Rival moved, Hero is grabbing that shoulder he injured after the match with Ronnie McNeil last week.

Brian: That's what he gets for being so darned patriotic.

Jason: Hero's getting up – arm drag by Rival – another arm drag by Rival and a third – He's pulling Hero's bad arm right out of the socket on those.

Sara-Anne: Rival is a firebrand when he gets going.

Jason: Rival whips Hero into the corner. He's laying some tough chops to Hero's chest, which can affect the shoulder.

Sara-Anne: Beth is going crazy outside, but there's nothing she can do.

Jason: Hero is stunned, Rival is positioning for the Rival rack. He's getting Hero up - No, too big for Rival, but he's trying to hold on.

Sara-Anne: Hero held on, he's rolling off Rival, but picking him up at the same time – Torture Rack!

Brian: Ahh, thank you Ronnie Dreamer as Hero drops JoJo for lack of two good shoulders.

Jason: Joseph sweeps Hero's leg and climbs the ropes himself. Hero could be all done …

Sara-Anne: Beth is up on the apron. Diamond Joe rushes to tell her to get down.

Jason: Rival launches himself – but Hero is up, he goes for a catch powerslam, but both men go down hard.

(The lights go out and a huge flame of fire comes from the pyro)

Jason: What the hell was that?

Sara: I don't know but what is that coming to the ring?

Brain: He's huge!

(The camera zooms in and you see a huge 7-foot monster with tattoos covering his body. Beth jumps off the apron.)

Jason: I don't like the looks of this!

Brain: I seen this guy before on amateur night. His name is The Omen.

(When the lights come back on The Omen is standing on the apron wearing blue jeans and a torn up tank top and a hockey mask on)

Jason: This guy is huge look at the size of his arms!

Sara: Somebody is sliding from under the ring!

(The crowd sees him and boos)

Jason: Not him! It's Prince Muhammed.

Brain: Yes the Prince is back!

(Muhammed slides in the ring and sneaks behind Joseph Rival and American Hero while both men, staring at The Omen, are trying to stand after that massive collision)

Jason: Prince Muhammed shatters a glass bottle over the head of Hero.

(Hero goes down while Rival stares at him on the canvas, Beth coming to his aide)

Sara-Anne: Diamond Joe is calling for the bell.

Brain: Rival is knocked silly with a glass bottle too. Muhammed is back, the Prince is back!

(The Omen steps over the ropes, pushes Beth away and stands over American Hero. He slaps his huge hand around the neck of American Hero and lifts him off the mat)

Sara: Look at the strength he has, he just chokeslammed American Hero outside the ring!

(Beth rushes over, talking into Hero's ear to see if he is ok.)

Jason: He has Rival up, another chokeslam outside the ring!

(The crowd has stopped booing, stunned)

Sara: What the hell is that about?

(Muhammed and The Omen exit the ring as the boos start again)

Jason: I just hope that Joseph and Hero are okay! And here is the official announcement from Jack Darling.

Jack Darling: The winner of the match, as the result of a outside interference, AMERICAN HERO!

Jason: A surprising decision by Diamond Joe, but since Hero was attacked first, its the only real option he had....But was the attack something personal??

Brian: No way Jason....Prince and his new friend are simply out to make a name for themselves....And they helped American Hero into the finals of the tournament!

Jason: And we are about to start our next match. Ronnie McNeil versus Harbinger, round one of the International Title tournament.

Brian: And we are looking live at Harbinger in the back making his way out to the ring.

Sara Anne: Wait a minute, there's Blackbird 13.

(Blackbird 13 is standing against the wall in the hallway. Decked out in blue jeans, a DWO T-Shirt and a Black cowboy hat, with long black hair down the back of his shirt. Harbinger walks by and Blackbird 13 looks up.)

Blackbird 13: Hey, Strip messed you up last week pretty good.

Harbinger: Yeah, and?

Blackbird 13: And...I don't like the man. He tried to pull one over on DWO. On me. I'm telling you this now since you missed my hospital call.

Harbinger: So, that was you. Well, I know all about what Strip did to DWO, I was there that night, signing my contract here with NEW.

Blackbird 13: So, what about a deal? I watch your back against The Strip.

Harbinger: And in return? What do I need to do?

Blackbird 13: Cynical aren't you? You only need to do one thing. Keep me together for the big Rebirth match against Thanatos. The Horsemen and DWO are clashing everyweek, and I need someone to keep me from doing something I'll regret before Rebirth.

Harbinger: Fine. I can do that for you. I can be your reminder of what you want. So, what is this? An alliance?

Blackbird 13: It's whatever you want to be. You can call it an alliance.

Harbinger: Good. Because while I do kind of dig your style, I'm not joining your band of merry men you call DWO. Now, I have a match to wrestle.

Blackbird 13: I'll be watching. Your back, that is.

("Light My Way" by Audioslave plays, and Harbinger walks away from Blackbird 13, towards the entry ramp. As Harbinger walks onto the ramp, Ronnie is already in the ring. Fans are chanting "YOU SOLD OUT, YOU SOLD OUT" at Ronnie. Harbinger soaks it all up and enters the ring.)

Jason: Lots of speculation about Ronnie McNeils future here, and all I can say is rumors are rampant, but CEO Abark will not confirm any wrestlers status with the company at this time.

Brian: And why would he? We have a damn show to do!

Jason: And both men, Ronnie and Harbinger are in the ring now. The ref has the International Belt, and Harbinger goes up to the ref. What is this about?

Sara Anne: The ref hands Harbinger the belt, he holds it, looks at it, and Harbinger kisses the title belt. Interesting...

Jason: The match starts off with both men locking up. Harbinger swings McNeil into the ropes. McNeil bounces back and Harbinger catches him in a dragon sleeper. The ref gets in to check on McNeil. He raises the hand for the count of 1. He raises McNeil's hand again, but he begins to fight back. McNeil with an elbow to the stomach breaking the hold. McNeil delivers a short arm clothesline to Harbinger. Harbinger is down as McNeil stomps away. He picks Justin Harbinger back up to his feet. He swings Harbinger into the ropes. Harbinger comes flying back with a roaring elbow to the face and takes McNeil off of his feet.

Sara: Harbinger just went airborn there and he gave McNeil a big shot!

Brian: Harbinger uses his small size to his advantage by taking it into the air.

Jason: Harbinger catches McNeil getting up with a german suplex. McNeil is down once again as Harbinger stomps away at him. Harbinger pulls McNeil back up to his feet and now delivers a dragon suplex. Harbinger rolls into a cover.......1.......2...... and McNeil with a late kick out. Harbinger gets back up and climbs to the top rope. As he jumps off, McNeil catches him in mid air with a big boot to the face. Harbinger hits the mat hard as McNeil rolls him up for the cover.........1..........2....... and a shoulder up by Harbinger.

Brian: What a huge kick to the face by McNeil. Harbinger was caught in mid air and it wasn't pretty.

Sara: Well, that big ass leg of his was just waiting for Harbinger and it connected.

Jason: McNeil with a side walk slam to Harbinger. McNeil runs across the ring, bounces off the ropes and lifts up for a huge legdrop, but Harbinger moves out of the way and McNeil hits the mat hard. Harbinger takes the advantage as he climbs up to the top turnbuckle. He waits a second and then lifts off hitting a missle dropkick on McNeil. Harbinger follows it up with a cover..........1.........2....... and once again McNeil gets a kick out.

Sara: McNeil barely hangs on there with a kickout.

Brian: Harbinger showing us some impressive offense.

Jason: Harbinger catches McNeil with a huge ddt. He rolls McNeil up for a cover........1.......2..... and a shoulder up by McNeil. Harbinger is up on his feet as he stomps away at McNeil. Harbinger rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair. The referee gets near the apron and forces the chair out of Harbinger's hands. McNeil comes charging at Harbinger as he pulls down the ropes and lets McNeil fall to the floor on the outside.

Brian: Harbinger has McNeil out of the ring.

Sara: The Franchise could become dangerous out there.

Jason: Harbinger picks up the steel stairs and slams them into the knee of McNeil. The referee begins the count for the men to get back in the ring. Harbinger climbs back into the ring and up the turnbuckle. He sets up and releases delivering a flying elbow to McNeil on the outside. Both men are down as the referee continues his count at 4. McNeil is not moving much, but Harbinger is beginning to get up. The referees count gets up to 6 now. Harbinger is on his feet and rolls into the ring as the count gets up to 7. McNeil begins to show signs of getting up at the count of 8. Harbinger guards the ropes, but McNeil charges in at the count of 9. Harbinger kicks away at McNeil to keep him down.

Brian: McNeil was almost counted out there.

SaraAnne: Harbinger isn't giving up now. He continues to stomp away here.

Jason: Harbinger backs off and lets McNeil start to get up. McNeil is slow to get up in the corner. He finally gets to his feet. Harbinger runs and chop blocks him, taking McNeil down. Harbinger pulls McNeil to the middle of the ring, and locks in the Foreshadowing. McNeil fights to make it to the ropes. Harbinger wrenching down on the hold even more. McNeil starts to pull his way to the bottom rope. Harbinger resets, and wrenches down, leaning back and grabbing McNeil's head, making it the Forshadowing Redux. McNeil refuses to tap out, but with the pain in his knee passing the breaking point, McNeil passes out from the pain. The ref checks McNeil, and rings the bell.

Jack Darling: Your winner of the match, Harbinger!!

Brian: Harbinger wins the match! He moves on to the International title match at Rebirth!

Jason: What an effort by both men.

Sara: The ref has just gotten McNeil awake again. He is motioning over towards Harbinger.

(Harbinger walks back over towards the fallen McNeil, and helps him up. Ronnie looks to be whispering something in his ear. Harbinger nods, pats Ronnie on the back, and Ronnie raises his hand in respect. Harbinger makes his way to the back, while Ronnie asks for a mic.)

Ronnie McNeil: It's been a fun ride here this last year. I couldn't have done it with the support of you fans. I thank you. It's time for me to go now, so I bid everyone farewell. This angel's going home...

Sara: I think that the Franchise just said he's leaving!

Jason: Yes he did. I don't think that NEW will be the same without him.

Brian: Yeah, it will be better!

(Ronnie rolls out of the ring, and limps back to the back, saying his final goodbyes to the NEW fans as they chant his name. "Angel Boy" by Tim Mcgraw blast the speakers as Blackbird 13 comes out the back and makes his way to the ring)

Jason: Here comes the challenger Blackbird13. Hailing from Suffolk, Va.

Sara; I love watching BB13 in action. He's so sexy just look at that hair.

Brain: Are you sure thats the only thing you look at?

Jason: This match is for the Northeastern Championship.

("SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THIS SON" by Jay-Z hits the PA)

Brain: There is the Northeastern Champion Carl Knox. Hailing from the tough streets of Clevland. Like always he is my favorite to win.

Sara: I have to disagree. Blackbird 13 looks to focus for this one.

DING DING

Jason: The bell just sounded and both men stare at each other in the middle of the ring.

Sara: Not for long cause Carl Knox just open hand smacked Blackbird 13.

Brain: HE SMACKED THE #@%^ OUT OF BLACKBIRD 13.

(BB13 comes back with some hard right hands sending Knox into the ropes. Knox bounces off the ropes and nails Blackbird with a closeline)

Jason: Wow I didn't see that one coming. Knox nailed Blackbird with that closeline.

Brain: I thought he took his head off.

(Knox lifts Blackbird to his feet and sends him back down with a bodyslam followed by a elbow drop)

Sara: Nice combo by Knox with that bodyslam elbow drop. He's keeping Blackbird on his back so far.

Jason: Not for long there is a low blow by Blackbird.

(That lowblow sends Knox to the mat holding his crouch)

Brain: I don't care who you are that will knock the wind right out of you.

(Blackbird begins to lay the boots to Knox. Blackbird lifts Knox up and nails him with a snapping suplex)

Jason: SNAPPING SUPLEX BY BLACKBIRD THAT ALMOST BROKE CARL KNOX'S BACK!!

Sara: BLACKBIRD IS GOING UP TOP!!!

Brain: AND HE IS COMING RIGHT BACK DOWN!!!

(Carl Knox rolls over to the ropes and kicks them and Blackbird 13 lose his balance and falls on his crouch on the top buckle)

Jason: OUCH THAT HAD TO HURT!!!

Sara: Now we have both fighters with hurt balls.

Brain: Why don't you go rub them Sara.

Sara: Why don't you shut your face Brain. You always have to start with me.

Jason: Both of you shut up and look at Carl Knox climb to the top buckle.

Brain: BELLY TO BELLY FROM THE TOP BUCKLE!!!!

Jason: NO!!! BLACKBIRD COUNTERED IT INTO A SPEAR IN MID AIR!!!

Sara: THIS ONE COULD BE OVER RIGHT HERE!!!

Jason: BLACKBIRD GOES FOR A COVER.

1..........kickout

Jason: Only a 1 count as Knox hurried out of that one.

Brain: We all know that Knox is never going down that easy.

(Blackbird grabs Knox and tries to execute a gutwrench powerbomb but Knox blocks the attempt and convert a over the back body drop)

Jason: Smart move by Carl Knox. That just might take some of the momentum off Blackbird 13.

(Knox grabs Blackbird and slaps in the figure four)

Jason: THE FIGURE FOUR!!! HE HAS BLACKBIRD IN THE FIGURE FOUR!!

Brain: BREAK HIS LEG KNOX!!!! BREAK HIS LEG!!!

Sara: THE NORHTEASTERN TITLE IS ON THE LINE DO YOU THINK THAT BLACKBIRD 13 IS GOING TO GIVE UP THAT EASY!!!!

(Blackbird inches his way to the ropes and finally grabs them as the ref yells for Knox to release the hold)

Jason: HE HAS THE ROPES!!! HE MADE IT TO THE ROPES!!!!

Sara: BUT KNOX STILL HAS THE HOLD ON!!!!

(Finally Knox lets go of the hold and begins to stomp away on that leg of Blackbird 13)

Jason: KNOX IS DRAGGING BLACKBIRD TO THE CENTER OF THE RING.

Brain: HE'S PUTTING HIM IN THE FIGURE FOUR AGAIN!!!!

Sara: I DON'T KNOW IF BLACKBIRD CAN TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS MY LEG HURTS JUST WATCHING THIS!!!

(Blackbird13 screams in pain while Knox applies pressure to the hold. Blackbird swings his hands wildly trying to adjust to the pain and by mistake nails the ref in the face with his fist)

Brain: HE KNOCKED OUT THE REF!!!! HE SHOULD BE DQ'ED!!!

Jason: IT WAS A MISTAKE!!!

Sara: DID YOU SEE THAT!!!! BLACKBIRD 13 JUST TAPPED OUT!!!

Brain: YES I SAW IT!!!! THIS MATCH IS OVER!!! KNOX REGAINS HIS BELT!!!!

Jason: THAT DOESN'T COUNT CAUSE THE REF IS KNOCKED OUT!!! THE MATCH CONTINUES!!! THERE IS NO REF!!!

(Knox breaks the hold and goes over to the ref and tries to wake him up after severel attempts the ref doesn't get up. Knox turns around and walks back over to Blackbird 13)

Jason: SMALLPACKAGE ROLL UP BY BLACKBIRD 13!!!!! 1............2............3.... yes thats it!!!!!! Blackbird just got a three count!!!

Brain: THATS YOUR THREE COUNT NOT THE REF'S!!! IT'S DOESN'T COUNT!!!

Sara: WHAT A MATCH WE HAVE GOING ON TONIGHT!!!

Jason: BLACKBIRD IS TRYING TO GET UP BUT HE IS LIMPING REALLY BAD!!!

Brain: KNOX IS UP TO HIS FEET!!!!

Sara: AND SO IS BLACKBIRD 13!!!

Jason: HARD RIGHT HAND BY KNOX!!!!

Sara: NO BLACKBIRD 13 DUCKS AND COUNTERS INTO THE LEANING TOWER!!!!

Brain: NO!!! NO!!!!

Jason: MAN THAT WAS SO CLOSE WE ALMOST HAD A NEW NORTHEASTERN CHAMPION!!!

(Knox rolls out the ring and grabs his title and slides back in the ring. Blackbird 13 grabs him)

WHAM

Jason: CARL KNOX JUST NAILED BLACKBIRD 13 WITH THE NORTHEASTERN TITLE!!!!

Sara: BLACKBIRD IS LAYED FLAT OUT!!!!

Brain: GET RID OF THE BELT!!! HURRY!!!

(Knox slide the belt out the ring and goes for the cover)

Sara: THERE GOES THE COVER!!!!

Jason: BLACKBIRD KICKED OUT

Brain: WHAT!!!

Sara: CARL KNOX IS SHOCKED!!! HE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BLACKBIRD KICKED OUT OF THAT.

(Knox reaches into his trunks and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. He waits for Blackbird to get up)

SaraAnne: HE'S GOT BRASS KNUCKLES!!! WATCH OUT BLACKBIRD!!!

Jason: Knox with a wild swing of the knux, Blackbird ducks...He picks him up....ATOMIC DROP.....He spins Knox around...Kick to the gut.....LAST FLIGHT INTO THAT SECOND TURNBUCKLE!!! Blackbird pulls him out of the corner and pins!!

Joe Diamond: ONE....TWO....THREE!!!

Jack Darling: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner and NEW, N.E.W. NorthEastern Champion....BLACKBIRD 13!!!!

Jason: We will see these two go at it again someday I'm sure of it....But for now we are going to have out main event! The NEW HeavyWeight Title is on the line tonight between Shawn Temp and Deadman!

(The first few cords of the song play, and the lights dim. Sky blue lights flicker, and the crowd cheers. The lights explode on, with...)

(Shawn Temp Walks out, onto the stage. He looks around in the crowd, and soaks in all of the cheers. He is wearing a pair of Black 30 inch wide JNCOs.)

(He runs down the ramp, and dives into the ring. He jumps to the top turnbuckle, showing his surpreme agility.)

(He backflips off, and Hops onto the opposite turnbuckle. With the crowd cheering him on.)

SaraAnne: Shawn Temp is in top shape here tonight, and I don't see any reason why he won't be walking out with the NEW title tonight...

Brian: We'll see about that, we're about to see seven plus feet of reason why not...

("Death Blooms" begins to play as a long path of smoke relieved by a hint of midnight blue prolongs down the ramp. Deadman emerges from behind the curtain as he slowly walks towards the ring. Ignoring the boos, he stops in front of the squared circle, and looks up at the house lights, before walking up the ring steps and over the top rope. Deadman positions himself in the center of the ring and instantaneously shoots his arms up from his sides as a bang causes the lights to turn on.)

Jason: Both men in the ring now as the lights raise and the bell rings....

SaraAnne: Shawn Temp is giving up just about a foot, and over a hundred pounds here in this match, He's going to have to be the one setting the pace, or he hasn't a chance in hell...

Jason: You're absolutely right Sara, Temp has to keep this match moving quickly, and hopefully his stamina will hold out longer than the big man's....

Brian: You're both NUTS! Temp hasn't an ice cubes chance in hell against the Champ....There's a REASON why he's held the title longer than anyone else in NEW HISTORY....

Jason: Both men are circling now....Temp keeping his distance from the Seven-three monster....while Deadman has a grin on his face....They lockup....AND SHAWN TEMP THROWN HALF WAY ACROSS THE RING!

Brian: There's the POWER of Deadman at work...

Jason: It only hurt his pride though as Temp hops back to his feet and jumps right into another lockup....And he's thrown down again!!

Brian: Give it up now Temp!!

Jason: Temp jumps back up to his feet, but this time he pauses, and Deadman laughs! Temp now....WHAT? A test of Strength?? Is he insane?

Brian: He's finnally become suicidal! He's got his hands up challanging Deadman....Deadite looks at him with a coy smirk and happily obliges!

Jason: OH! Shawn Temp with a standing dropkick to Deadman's knee...But it only made him Stagger, Temp jumps up, off the ropes...ANOTHER dropkick to the knee, now Deadman Staggers again....Temp off the ropes once again...And he's FLOORED With a HUGE clothesline by Deadman!! Temp is stunned for the moment, and Deadman takes advantage to test out his knee....Shawn Temp a little slower to his feet this time, and is met with a HUGE hand to the throat as Deadman tosses Temp into the corner....Deadman stays ontop of him with several quick jabs to the face and stomach, and backs off....Shawn Temp dummies out of the corner and is met with another pair of huge hands around his throat, as Deadman looks to end this match quickly!

Brian: Good Stratagy by Deadman, Get it over with quickly!!

Jason: Temp's eyes get wide as he goes UP! AND COMES DOWN....WITH AN ARM DRAG!! He wiggled lose of the Two-Handed chokeslam and gave the big man an arm drag! Deadman is up quickly though and approaches Temp.....Temp with a drop-toe hold! He quickly moves to his feet, he hefts up one of Deadman's Tree-Trunk legs and SLAMS his knee into the mat as hard as he can....And ONCE more he slams the knee to the mat....Deadman rolls onto his back holding the knee....

SaraAnne: Deadman's knee has got to be feeling some of the abuse by now...

Jason: Temp runs to the corner, off the second rope....LIONSAULT CONNECTS!! A quick cover by Temp...

Jack Darling: ONE........TWO.......

Brian: And little Temp goes AIRBORN as Deadman shoves him off with authority, damn near taking out the ref there....

SaraAnne: It's way too early temp....

Jason: Temp scampers to his feet as Deadman more slowly rises....Temp off the ropes again with a clothesline that barely phases Deadman.....Temp off the ropes again and returns...BACKBODY DROP OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! Temp Holds onto the top rope and lands on the Apron!!! Deadman turns around and is met with a stiff knee to the stomach...He staggers backwards, turning around and returning to see Temp on the top rope...SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!! That puts the big man on the ground...Temp to his feet again, Moving to the corner...

SaraAnne: This could be it! Temperature Rising!!

Jason: No! Temp instead goes for his Shattered Dream! The 450 splash! He connects!!

Brian: But from that midget it doesn't mean much...

Jack Darling: ONE!!!........TWO!!!.....TH-.....KICKOUT!

Jason: Deadman with the kickout once more....Temp is getting mildly worried as he jumps towards Deadman's legs and puts him in a leg-scissors....He's leaning way back, trying to injure Deadman's leg...

Brian: Look at that, Deadman's leg is the size of Temp's whole body!!

SaraAnne: The good thing about Deadman being so big is he's almost half the length of the ring...Meaning he's almost always near the ropes!!

Jason: And he is reaching for those ropes as Temp sinches in the scissors even tighter....He's really trying to injure that leg of Deadman...

Brian: REACH-JUST-ALITTLE-FURTHER....YES! Deadman gets the ropes!!

Jason: And after a four and a half count Temp breaks the hold...Temp to his feet, as he moves to the corner to await Deadman.....After several moments Deadman begins to make his way to his feet....Temp biding his time as he raises his arm to the crowd, pumping them up......Deadman reaches his feet, staggering on one leg, he slowly turns to face Temp who explodes out of the corner with a superkick aimed for Deadman's chin...

Brian: Don't split a seam in your pants there Temp!!

Jason: Deadman staggers sideways and the Superkick misses him by inches....Temp turns...RIGHT into a lariat by Deadman who takes them both to the ground.....And the ref begins his standing ten count....

Jack Darling: ONE......TWO......THREE.....

Brian: Deadman is stirring...

SaraAnne: So is Temp!

Jack Darling: FOUR......FIVE.....SIX....SEVEN....EIGHT....

Jason: And Temp and Deadman make it to their feet....Temp's head is spinning and Deadman's leg is barely holding his weight....

Brian: Temp moves to whip Deadman into the corner, and is countered by Deadman...Deadman moves into the corner after him...

(Deadman has Temp in the corner and is delivering right hands to the forehead of Blackbird.)

Crowd: ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR…..

(As Deadman continues to lay into Temp in the corner, a fan from the audience, wearing an Abark mask of all things, jumps the security railing. He stands about 6’7”, and weights around 270 lbs. The fan looks around him as no one seems to notice that he’s there.)

Jason: What the hell is this??? Some fan has jumped the security rail. Get some security out here now!

(Before Jason even finishes his thought, two security guards from the other side of the ring are on the scene. The first security guard moves in from the left but before he can do anything to the fan, he has his head almost removed from his shoulders by a viscous clothesline from the fan.)

Brian: Now we’ve got two matches going on out here, Deadman and Temp inside the ring, and this fan and the one remaining security guard.

Sara Anne: I don’t think that this is just some fan, guys.

(After seeing what happen to the other security guard, the second security guard pulls out his extendable baton. He approaches the fan and takes a swing at him with the baton. The fan catches the baton in his hand and doesn’t even flinch. The fan laughs at the security guard and lays him out with one solid right hand.)

Jason: WE NEED MORE HELP DOWN HERE TO TAKE THIS GUY OUT!!!

(Back inside the ring, Deadman is still laying into Temp with rights and lefts.)

Crowd: EIGHT, NINE, TEN!!!!

(The fan slides into the ring, but neither Deadman or Temp know it. Deadman drops back down to the mat from the turnbuckle but before he can do anything, from behind the fan splashes both Deadman and Temp in the corner.)

Jason: SOMEONE GET OUT HERE!!!!

(The referee automatically calls for the bell because of the outside interference, ending this match prematurely.)

Sara Anne: If Diamond Joe was smart, he would get the hell out of that ring.

(The fan just turns and looks at Diamond Joe, who was moving towards him, but has now stopped and exits the ring quickly. The fan then turns his attention back to Deadman and Temp. He slowly walks towards them, almost like he was stalking them.)

Jason: Well it’s about time!!!

(Seven to ten security guards come running down to the ring from the back. They all stop at ringside which causes the fan to stop his approach on the World Champion and his challenger. All the security guards look at each other and then they all slide into the ring together.)

Sara Anne: Let’s see what this guy’s got now!!!

(The fan, realizing that he is out numbered doesn’t make a move and the security guards rush him and tackle him to the ground. The crowd cheers the security guards every move as the fan ended what was up until this point, an amazing contest for the World Championship.)

Jason: Now lock that bum up and throw away the key, that will teach him a lesson he sorely requires.

(One of the security guards pulls out a pair of handcuffs from his back pocket and moves to put them on this fan, but before he can do it, a voice is heard over the announce system.)

Voice: HOLD IT, JUST HOLD IT ONE MINUTE!!!

(Out from the back, microphone in hand, walks the NEW C.E.O., Abark, who does not look happy at all.)

C.E.O. Abark: Now before you haul this fan out of here, I want to see the face of the man who disrupted my Slam Dance Main Event!!! Take that mask off of him now!!!

(The security guards lift the fan to his feet and as they hold his hands behind his back, one security guard moves in and removes the Abark mask. From the entrance way, a smile slowly comes across the face of the NEW C.E.O. as he sees who the fan is.)

Jason: WHO IS IT??? WHO IS THIS GUY???

(The camera slowly moves around the pack of the security guards until it reaches the face of the fan, and as it does the crowd erupts as the fan’s face is exposed on the NEW-Tron.)

Jason: OH MY GOD!!! IT’S,….., IT’S,……, IT’S DIAMOND MINE!!!!!

Sara Anne: DIAMOND MINE IS BACK IN NEW!!!! BUT WHY HAS HE TAKEN THESE ACTIONS TONIGHT???

Brian: Why did he have to come back at all???

(C.E.O. Abark begins to laugh and then continues speaking.)

C.E.O. Abark: Let him go…

(The security guards just look around at each other and then at the C.E.O., but don’t do anything.)

C.E.O. Abark: I said LET HIM GO, NOW!!!

(The security guards let Diamond Mine go and Diamond Mine just looks around at them and they all leave the ring and tend to their fallen co-workers at ringside. C.E.O. Abark begins to make his way down to the ring)

C.E.O. Abark: It all makes perfect sense now, everything is perfectly clear.

(The C.E.O. makes it to ringside and slowly walks up the ring steps and enters the ring. He walks slowly over to Diamond Mine, and the two go face to face.)

Jason: What is going on here???

(Diamond Mine and Abark are nose to nose, exchanging what looks to be some very heated words for one another.)

Sara Anne: This could explode at any moment here. I don’t like the C.E.O.’s chances if it does.

(The two men stand face to face in the ring, and just when they are about to come to blows, Diamond Mine does the unthinkable.)

Jason: Diamond Mine just extended his hand to Abark!!! What the hell is going on here????

(Abark looks down at Diamond Mine’s extended hand, and then back at his face, and then back at the hand, and then once again back at Diamond Mine’s face. A smile slowly begins to creep onto the faces of both men and as they begin to laugh at what has transpired here tonight, they shake hands.)

Brian: YES!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!

(The crowd boo’s at this new alliance they see forming before them inside the ring. As the two finish shaking hands, the New England Wrestling C.E.O. turns to the audience and begins to speak once more.)

C.E.O. Abark: You all seem confused, I figured you were smarter than this…. Allow me to explain for all of you then. What you saw tonight was not just some random act of violence, oh no, not at all. What you saw transpire right here tonight was NEW Official Business. For you see, in the wake of all the turmoil and chaos going around New England Wrestling since the resignation of President Cody, I have decided that it was essential for order to remain here in NEW. So what I did was I went out and found someone, someone that I know has no respect for mayhem and chaos. I went out and found someone that respect order, someone who will not be afraid to enforce that order around NEW. I went out and found a COMMISIONER for New England Wrestling!!!

(C.E.O. Abark raises the hand of Diamond Mine as the new Commissioner of New England Wrestling. The crowd immediately begins to boo.)

Jason: If tonight’s an example of how things are going to be run by the new commissioner, I don’t like where things are going to go here in NEW.

Brian: What are you talking about Jason, this is awesome and is just what we need here in NEW!!!

(Abark hands Diamond Mine the microphone, who tries to speak but the crowd is trying to drown him out with boo’s.)

Diamond Mine: I can wait all night because I KNOW you all want to hear what I have to say.

(This just enrages the crowd more who begin to boo even louder, but Diamond Mine and Abark just laugh and wait for the crowd to quiet down, which they eventually do, so Diamond Mine begins to speak.)

Diamond Mine: It should have been so good, it should have been perfect. But in the end, they fucked it up! It could have been sweet. But, they will soon find out, it will be the last time that any of them are ever given the opportunity at something so fucking valuable again. I’ve been in this business for a very long time now. I’ve been up and down the roads more times than I can remember. I’ve won Championship after Championship after Championship, many right here in NEW. Hell, I the first ever NEW Grand Slam Champion.

(The crowd boo’s.)

Diamond Mine: A four time NEW World Heavyweight Champion.

(The crowd boo’s again.)

Diamond Mine: And one of the longest reigning NEW World Champions of all time.

(The crowd boo’s once again.)

Diamond Mine: But when you take everything that I have ever done in this business, there is one thing that I am most known for, and that’s being a member of the Four Horsemen!!!

(The crowd pops for the mentioning of the Horsemen.)

Diamond Mine: In the ACWF, Thanatos, Death Incarnate, Evil and myself stood on top of the wrestling world, nobody could touch us. As the Horsemen evolved over time, new members joined and old ones left, we finally came here to New England Wrestling. And like so many times before, we stood on top of the wrestling world, by defeating all comers.

(The crowd pops.)

Diamond Mine: Then the time came that nobody ever thought would. The man responsible for bringing the Horsemen to life, Thanatos, retired. He packed up his belongings at the Horsemen complex and said goodbye to that part of his life. He took all of his belongings, all of them except for one thing. The only thing that he did not take with him was a framed picture. Now do any of you remember the picture in question???

(Diamond Mine pauses for a moment, and when the crowd doesn’t react, he continues.)

Diamond Mine: I didn’t think so; allow me to jog your memory. The picture that he left was a framed photo of himself and me, after one of our NEW Tag Team Title defenses.

(The crowd doesn’t react again, this time Diamond Mine appears to be somewhat upset.)

Diamond Mine: I think that the significance of this picture is lost on all of you. See, while it may just be a picture to all of you, it meant so much more to Thanatos and myself. See, when Thanatos left that picture for me, that symbolized him passing the torch of the Horsemen to me, in essence, the Horsemen became mine. I was the only active Horsemen left in the business, and I carried on the legacy of the original group, I took everything that we were, and everything that we stood for, and I destroyed everyone who stood in my way and became the best in the business. You name anyone who’s anyone in this business and I’ve beaten them. I still carry that legacy to this day. BUT THAT’s where the problem begins!!!

Jason: What??? What is he talking about???

Diamond Mine: It should have been so good for the new Horsemen, it should have been perfect. But in the end, they fucked it up! It could have been sweet. But, the Horsemen will soon find out, it will be the last time that any of them are ever given the opportunity at something so fucking valuable again. I carry the torch of the Horsemen to this day, I was the best in the business when I left, and I could be again if I wanted to be. I was the first ever NEW Grand Slam winner, and multiple time NEW Champion. So you would think that Thanatos would invite me to be apart of these Horsemen??? But when the Horsemen debuted last month, was Diamond Mine in the picture??? Was the longest serving Horsemen apart of the group??? I don’t think so!!!

(The crowd boo’s.)

Diamond Mine: So there I was, sitting at home a few weeks ago, and my phone rings. I pick it up, and who is on the other line? None other than the true leader of NEW, C.E.O. Abark. Through the course of our conversation it became abundantly clear that Abark wanted me to be involved in future of NEW. And, after a very lucrative contact was signed, here I am, the brand new, Commissioner of New England Wrestling.

(The crowd boo’s.)

Sara Anne: I think this sucks!!!

(Diamond Mine laughs inside the ring at the crowd’s displeasure.)

Diamond Mine: And since I’ve always let my actions speak louder than my words. Allow me to take this time to make my first official announcement as the NEW Commish. Because nobody knows what the Horsemen are capable of better than I do. I have decided that the main event of Rebirth III, Joey Rival challenging Deadman for the NEW World Heavyweight Championship, needs to be changed. See, as the match currently stands, Deadman has an unfair advantage because the Horsemen can come down at any time and cost Rival the match. So as of right now, the Horsemen are BANNED from ringside during the main event of Rebirth III!!!

(The crowd boo’s.)

Brian: Now it’s for sure, I definitely like Diamond Mine as the commissioner of NEW.

Diamond Mine: And because Deadman is a known cheater, I believe that a special guest referee is required to ensure that the rules of the match are followed to a “T.” So with that in mind, the special guest referee for the NEW World Heavyweight Championship belt at Rebirth III is,……., ME!!!!

Brian: YES!!!!

Diamond Mine: No matter what the Horsemen tell you, there is one thing that they are afraid of, AND THAT’S ONE OF THEIR OWN!!!

(Diamond Mine drops the microphone in the middle of the ring and he and Abark celebrate in the ring while “Awake” by Godsmack begins to blast in the auditorium and Slam Dance slowly fades to black on a close up of Diamond Mine and NEW C.E.O. Abark laughing maniacally.)
