THEME: "Have it your Way" by Mudvayne
{Collision comes flying onto the screen as the fans are on their feet from the excitement of the opening video and music. The camera pans the crowd and catches their excited faces before we zoom in, and settle in on the commentary crew ready to go.}
Dave Holland: Welcome fans! We have an exciting night of action in store for you and really no time to waste as we’re packed full tonight.
Eric Hardy: You can say that again, every minute of our time slot is going to be filled this week. Just look at this opening contest which should be a good one between NCW veteran Curtis Kanyon and NCW rising star Stephen Kingsley... almost like the Road to the Gold is carrying over here.

MATCH ONE
Curtis D. Kanyon vs. Stephen Kingsley
Singles Match
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
{As the drums and didgeridoo kick in, Cyrus Daniels and Stephen Kingsley walk to the ring as two men side by side with a purpose. Stephen has on his corked hat and his vest. Stephen uses the steps and before he steps into the ring, Stephen takes off his corked hat as an acknowledgement to the crowd and place it on the ring post. He steps into the ring and he takes off his vest and he hands it to an employee. Cyrus Daniels is in the ring with Stephen. He gives Stephen some last instructions before he steps out of the ring and onto the floor.}
Eric Hardy: Kingsley hopes to keep the momentum from his win over JJ Biggs.
{Rage in my heart crossing the forest riding my black horse
Across the valley along the river where the hot blood flows.
Over the lakes and over the hills I follow the call of the wind uphold the legend and for my princess I will fight and win
"Lord of the Thunder" by Rhapsody hits the speakers as Curtis D. Kanyon emerges from the curtain. He has a sledgehammer slung over his shoulder.
Holy flame burn again for eternity burn my heart to win.
The holy war is awaiting another fiery king
Curtis pounds his chest with his fists then raises the hammer in the air. He walks down to the ring, nodding to the fans. He grabs a sign from a fan in support of his cause, and shows it to the camera!
Lord of the thunder please be my guide
before and after my last ride
I'll be your soldier serving the light
riding forever alive and proud
Curtis then climbs into the ring and goes to the turnbuckles. He climbs a turnbuckle and pounds his chest, then screams "The archangel is here! Prepare for the glory of battle!" He points to the crowd with his hammer, then hoists it straight up into the air and yells "BANG!" He then gets down and awaits the match to start.}
Dave Holland: JJ Biggs is no CDK though, this dude is a legit crazy person.

Eric Hardy: It seems that CDK is loving those knife edge chops today.
Dave Holland: They take more out of you then you realize.
{CDK turns him around. He hits him with right hand to the throat. Kingsley turns grabbing his throat. As Kingsley turns around, CDK runs, hitting him with a running clothesline that knocks, Kingsley down onto the mat. CDK leans over pulling him to his feet. He grabs him around his arm whipping him into the corner. CDK runs in at him, but Kingsley moves out of the way. CDK finds nothing but the corner post.}
Dave Holland: Kingsley just did get out of the way.
Willy Carter: CDK was charging hard across the ring, Kingsley Riggs better be thankful he moved out of the way.
{Kingsley steps through the ropes out to the ring apron. He grabs a hold of the top rope. Kingsley pulls on the top rope, as CDK moves out of the corner.

“In the Crowd”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
{While we pan through the crowd, we see two masked guys raising signs up and down on sticks. The camera stops and goes back. The masked men are in fact NCW superstars, Dinero Suave and El Nacho Loco! Dinero holds a sign saying "Give Us Team USA" and El Nacho is holding a sign saying "Next Tag Team-o Champions" They shout slogans as they move around.}
Willy Carter: What is this?
Dave Holland: Looks like these guys are taking the initiative. I like it.
Eric Hardy: Looks like these guys are ridiculous.
Dave Holland: We’ll be back, right after these messages fans.

Roberto Verona
“Power.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
{ The lights in the arena all go out at "King of the World" by Porcelain and the Tramps begins to blare out of the PA system. Spotlights begin to scan the crowd before fixating on a figure at the top of the stage which is revealed to be Roberto Verona, his head bowed towards the floor with Kelly Fox stood by his side. As boos being to resonate around the arena Verona raises his head, the NCW World Championship wrapped around his waist, and he begins a slow methodical march down the ramp, the spotlight following him as golden pyro rains down from above on the stage. Verona stares with disgust at the crowd who heckle him as he approaches the ring, but he doesn't react to them. As he reaches the steps he slowly ascends them before walking towards the middle of the ring apron, turning around to look into the crowd one last time before looking up and closing his eyes as he stretches his arms out wide and basks in the abuse. After indulging himself Verona climbs into the ring after opening the ropes for Kelly, raising the NCW World Championship high above his head as he asks for a microphone, looking around the arena as his music is finally cut. }
Dave Holland: Looks like we will finally get the explanation we’ve been looking for as we are joined by the NCW World Champion and the CEO of New Championship Wrestling.
Eric Hardy: I don’t think I want to hear this man speak, he spat in the face of everybody who believed in him.
Willy Carter: Oh shut up Hardy, let the champion speak.
Roberto Verona: Why?
{ Verona pauses for a moment as he gazes around the arena. }
Roberto Verona: Why not? We all work in a ruthless business which consumes the weak. Countless men have come and gone, names which are consigned to irrelevance and put out of our collective memories all because they lacked that ability to make calculated decisions to further their careers. That cutting edge is what separates the perennial underachievers and those who fulfil their potential and take that next step to a plain that transcends their peers.
{ The crowd boo as Roberto just stands and shakes his head in disagreement with this opinions. }
Roberto Verona: What you all seem keen to ignore is that I became NCW World Champion by myself, you have become so wrapped up in what proceeded that you have forgotten what came before, so allow me to refresh your memories. I pinned Andrew Jacobsen, in this very ring, fair and square. There were no nefarious misdeeds, no conspiracies and no screwjobs. I stand before you today as your NCW World Champion because I proved, decisively, that I am the best professional wrestler on the planet today, just like I have every single week since I first graced this company.
{ Verona raises his arm in the air to lift the NCW World Championship up, before slowly lowering it to continue. }
Roberto Verona: After I dispatched Andrew Jacobsen I made a business decision. New Championship Wrestling has been starved of a true icon to carry this company through this transitional period where the old stars begin to fade and the need for the formation of a new cosmos of legends becomes a greater necessity with the passing of each and every day. This business needed somebody to step up and inspire others to rise up and fulfil their own potential.
{ Roberto pauses and turns towards Kelly, pointing in her direction. }
Roberto Verona: That man was me. Kelly Fox is building a new world, one which is not answerable to the decadent corruptions of the past, one which will allow this roster to flourish and to achieve greater deeds in the name of entertainment and to accomplish that desire, to make her dreams come true she needed a new icon to personify the next era of professional wrestling and I needed somebody who could facilitate my rise to the top of the food chain.
{ Kelly begins to smile, clapping as she waves sardonically at the audience how pour vitriol down on the pair.}
Roberto Verona: Three months ago I gave Kelly a choice; to work with me or to work against me. Since day one, I supported Kelly Fox when I implored her to do the right thing for business and when the bell rang and my music resonated around Buffalo she walked down to that ring and she did the right thing for this company. What you see as the fall of a man who was proclaimed morally incorruptible in reality is the culmination of an evolution of this company, one which would always need someone to help it grow and to prosper inside this ring and somebody to nurture it with care in the corporate structure.
{ Roberto stares into the camera with determination as he completely ignores the abuse he is receiving from all over the arena. }
Roberto Verona: Kelly Fox needs me and I need Kelly Fox, one without the other will simply fail to fulfil their obligation to this company and to each and every one of you. I will be the champion that this business deserves and she will give this business the company it deserves. Together with Adam Knite we will lead New Championship Wrestling out of the dark ages and into an age of prosperity that will benefit each and every one of you.
{ Verona thrusts his finger into his own chest passionately as he roars into the microphone. }
Roberto Verona: I did what was necessary and I will do exactly what I promised eighteen months ago and revolutionise this business. Wrestling is sick and I am the cure. All of you see in black and white, good and evil, but I see all of the subtle shades of grey. Whilst you all line up to paint me as a villain of the piece, you completely ignore the failings of those who have forced us to this boiling point. If opportunity had not been squandered so recklessly, neither myself nor Kelly would’ve had to take the steps we did at Road to the Gold.
{ Kelly takes a few steps forward and stands beside Roberto who raises her arm up in the air to the displeasure of pretty much everybody.
Roberto Verona: Take a long hard look at this image because we are the future of this business, you can try to resist change and become consumed by it or you can get in line and become empowered by it. We will do what is necessary, no matter how sadistic, cruel or ruthless it may appear to all of you, to ensure a bright future for NCW regardless of the cost. A new dawn is upon us, soon the strong will weed out the weak and we will emerge the better for it.
{ Roberto pauses momentarily before raising the mic back to his lips. }
Roberto Verona: The new age starts now, my first order of business is to announce that next week I will personally select my opponent for the Breaking Away pay per view. This is a message to the entire locker room; get off your asses, quit your whining and your bitching and impress me and you may find yourself rewarded with a shot at the biggest prize in the game against the best in the business.
{ Verona lifts his championship up once again as he grins smugly at the camera. }
Roberto Verona: See you next week boys. Good luck, you’re going to need it.
{ Verona drops the mic as his theme music plays once again, he walks towards the ropes and politely holds them open for Kelly Fox who nods with approval as she steps out of the ring quickly followed by Verona as the pair share a conversation with one another as they walk up the ramp. }
Dave Holland: Wow, big news, next week Roberto Verona will announce his opponent for Breaking Away for a shot at the World Championship!
Eric Hardy: He will have an agenda, I just know it.
Willy Carter: Quit your bitching Hardy, he is going to give the roster the chance to impress him.

Crystal Hilton
“Lies!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
{Our scene opens up and we find ourselves in the office of Kelly Fox. She seems to be doing some owner duties when her door slowly creaks open and the Hollywood Starlet Crystal Williams walks into her office. Crystal has an upset look on her face as she beams eyes at Kelly, and Kelly annoyed stares back at Crystal as she shakes her head at her.}
Kelly Fox: So is there a reason you are in my office?
{Crystal nods her head as her focus is locked on the owner, she is in her face as he begins to rip her out.}
Crystal Williams: You want to know what my problem is Kelly? You have been acting like a bitch for the past couple of months. At one point I considered you to be one of my best friends but something has changed within you. You have let the power go to your head and you are taking it out on Sydney and I. There was no reason for Sydney to be in the ring with Markus Reeves back at Road to The Gold, and furthermore I don’t appreciate the way you have been overlooking me. You kept me out of the Road to The Gold, and you barely use me in any wrestling matches… I am getting sick and tired of it…
{Kelly just smirks as she looks back at Crystal giving her a look of not being impressed. She just shakes her head as she looks back into her eyes.}
Kelly Fox: Are you getting upset Crystal? Why should you wrestle inside of an NCW ring? It’s apparent that I already have the better Williams woman wrestling in the ring. As far as I am concerned you should be happy you at least have a journal contract with the company but I guess even something as simple as that you are a failure at. Granted you commentated one match but where is that Rose Garden I hired you to do? I named you as my successor to the Knitelife but I can see you are having a hard time following in my footsteps. Not only as a wrestler because let’s not forget you lost to me in the finals of the last Road To The Gold tournament but as a journalist as well. You really disgust me… but I come to expect it. You were never made to be the star, you were always someone else’s shadow…
{Crystal gets upset as she bangs on the table staring back at Kelly.}
Crystal Williams: Stop playing games Kelly. You know what I want… You and I in the ring one on one… Let’s finish this so we can finally move on but I take it you are scared…
{Kelly blatantly ignores her as she pulls out a folder that reads Crystal Williams, it’s Crystal’s contract as she grins at her.}
Kelly Fox: But why should I answer your question? I think there’s one I need answering from you. You see I locked at this contract of yours and I come to find out you been lying the whole time… I did some research and I found out that you been lying about your age… Are you ready to come clean and announce to everyone that you been lying this whole time. Are you ready to be truthful and tell everyone that you are afraid of growing older, and that you are truly 25… Or would you rather stay living in the past… Come on Crystal admit it… Admit to the word the truth about you… If you do that I will give you what you want…
{Crystal stands there, thinking about it…She wants to say something but instead she angrily walks out the door leaving Kelly sitting there with a smirk on her face.}
Kelly Fox: And that’s what I thought…
{Kelly smiles as we head back to ringside.}

MATCH TWO
Xavier Williams vs. Ken Davison
Singles Match
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
The lights go down as “God's Gonna Cut You Down” by Johnny Cash fills the room. With each clap in the song, the lights come up and disappear. The spotlight focuses on the entrance way as a man underneath a hooded trench coat walks out with his hands folded in front him. He walks down to the ring, entirely focused on the task at hand.
Eric Hardy: Here is the man, who was so close to becoming a NCW Tag Team Champion, just one week ago at A Night To Remember.
Dave Holland: Instead Team America retains, and now own the record for longest reign as Tag Team Champions, a record, I once owned many years ago.
Willy Carter: Well, regardless, who cares cause my Man, Xavier Williams is about to come out.
Xavier emerges on the ramp as the crowd gets loud. Black hoodie, hood up, and black skull bandanna covering his face. Xavier walks to the side of the stage, as he just looks up into the stands. He walks back to the middle and drops to a knee, he looks out into the crowd and a pulls down the bandanna, he looks up and a smirk comes over his face, he stand up and lets out a loud yell as he makes his way down the ramp. He slaps hands with some of fans at ringside, before sliding into the ring. He stands on the middle rope and looks out into the crowd. He points up to the fans in the upper decks, then pounds his chest. He does his trademark 'X' across his chest, before doing his signature gun taunt toward the camera before hopping off the ropes and going into the corner as the music starts to die down.
Willy Carter: There he is, MY BOY BLACK JESUS
Eric Hardy: I throught Todd Williams was my boy.
Willy Carter: He is too
Xavier Williams throws a leg kick to start this match off, but Davison blocks it, and then attempts to take Black Jesus over, however Williams blocks the attempt and Snapmares Davison to the mat, before hitting a kick to the spine, Davison screams, as Xavier hits another one, followed by another one, He goes for a knockout blow to the head, but Davison wisely rolls out of the ring to regroup.
Willy Carter: My boy Xavier Williams is on Fire, He was about to send a lucky fan home with Ken Davison head, if that kick connected.
Eric Hardy: Thank God Davison got out of the way.
Davison regroups on the outside, but Xavier Williams slides out of the ring, Davison tries to cut him off with a right hand, but Xavier Williams blocks it, and takes Ken Davison down, Davison struggles to get to his feet, as Xavier pulls him up, but Davison trips him, as Xavier is flung forward and hits the steel steps hard, dislodging them, Davison then slams Xavier Williams head against the apron, before tossing him back into the ring, Davison yanks Xavier Williams up and begins to light up the chest of Black Jesus with several Knife Edge Chops, Xavier retreats to the corner, where Davison comes in with a Handspring back elbow, but Xavier Williams moves out of the way, then Grabs Davison and throws him across the ring with a Belly To Belly Suplex, before going for the pin, One.....Two.....Davison kicks out as Xavier Williams pops to his feet.
Dave Holland: I think he is looking for that Headkick Fatality.
Eric Hardy: He wanted it earier, but this time, he got Davison lined up.
Willy Carter: YES!
Xavier slams his foot as Davison is trying to get to his feet, and goes the Fatality, but Davison ducks under it, grabbing Xavier by the head and stomach, Xavier Williams tries to fight the hold, but Davison leaps up, driving Williams head into his knee, as Williams falls from the Hands of God, as Davison goes for the count, One....Two.....Three!
Eric Hardy: And Ken Davison rebounds from his loss at A Road to The Gold, by beating a former World Champion, here tonight.
Dave Holland: This kid is really going to go far.

SEGMENT
Seth Evans
“Returns and apologies?”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
{Following the previous match, the crowd is still in a frenzy over everything that they had just seen and they couldn't wait to see the next contest. However, they were caught with a surprise; without the ring announcer making any attempt of an introduction, the lights have already gone out in the blink of an eye. This caused the crowd to get just a little louder, expecting the next contest to be almost ready to start... instead of being met with any kind of a theme song, there is a faint blue light emitting from the screen, and a voice can barely be heard. It takes a while for the voice to finally become loud enough to be audible, but once it is we hear a few simple words.}
"He said to wake him..."
{The screen brightens some more, and you can see something in the middle of it. A familiar sighting; from a video-game. The cryo-chamber where the Master Chief sleeps. The camera is stepping closer with every second, starting to peer through the glass of the cryo-chamber where the more familiar character is finally seen. The gold visor of the Master Chief is very visible, but there's only a glimpse before it seems that the lights have gone back out after the sound of a crash.}
Willy Carter: Is that really the Master Chief?
Eric Hardy: He's a video-game character! How could it really be the Master Chief?!
Willy Carter: We've seen crazier things happen.
Dave Holland: He's got a point, you know?
{The screen comes back on to reveal the timer that was counting down from last week, except for the numbers being all the way down to the final ten seconds. 00:00:00:10. Chanting every second down, the crowd's anticipation grows... but was their anticipation pointless? Returning, yet again, to darkness and remaining that way for several seconds, the voice finally returns. With the return of that voice, known as Cortana, the cryo-chamber is shown again with a lot of mist escaping from around it and the door beginning to lift. As the Master Chief is getting up, the camera zooms on the visor quickly fading away and leaving only mist there to spell out a name.}
"When we need him."
{The mist finishes spelling out the name --- SETH EVANS --- and the crowd does give a roaring cheer for what is clearly indicating the return of the former X-Division Champion, and runner-up to the 2011 Road To The Gold. As the mist clears away, we all have no choice but to wait until... "Stand Up" by All That Remains finally plays throughout every speaker in the arena! The crowd cheers loud as the lights on the stage start flashing and smoke rises to cover the entire stage.}
Willy Carter: What! How long is he going to last this time? Didn't these fans hate him the last time he was here?
Eric Hardy: They did, but maybe they have decided to give him another chance.
Dave Holland: Well, I'm disappointed. I wanted to see the Master Chief.
Willy Carter: You and me both.
Eric Hardy: He's a video-game character!
Dave Holland: Would you grow up?
{Almost creeping through the smoke, Seth Evans steps out onto the stage and looks out at the entire crowd. A smile on his face, clearly from the reaction that he's getting from the crowd. He nods his head a couple of times and holds his arms out for the crowd as his brand new theme song is still playing... before finally going down the ramp, he pounds his fist against his chest then points out to the crowd while speaking something hardly able to be heard because of this crowd, and because of the theme song, but his lips can be read clearly: "I promised."}
Dave Holland: Damn, maybe I should disappear for two weeks and come back. These fans would bust a nut.
Eric Hardy: We haven't seen or heard from Seth Evans since January!
Dave Holland: Has it been that long?
Willy Carter: Who knows with all these people.
Eric Hardy: I do! ELEVEN MONTHS! A little over!
{Making his way down the ramp, he shakes hands with many of the fans that are in the first couple rows but doesn't want to waste too much time as he quickly gets to the bottom of the ramp and sprints towards the ring to slide underneath the bottom rope. Seth quickly gets up to his feet and walks to the opposite end of the ring where a crew member on the outside hands him a microphone --- the lights and music quickly come to a closer, as Seth Evans lifts the microphone up to speak but the crowd is still cheering, and chanting "WELCOME BACK!" He still has a smile on his face, nodding his head, and just mouths the words "thank you". He takes a couple more seconds, before finally speaking.}
Seth Evans: Thank you, thank you. I don't want to interrupt you, because it truly does feel great to have this kind of ovation from all of you --- although, honestly, I don't feel that I deserve it. But it's much appreciated, and the only thing I feel that I can say is thank you. But we're on a tight schedule!
{The fans seem a little disappointed that Seth had to quiet them down, but they do slowly start clapping. You hear one fan member break the silence with one shout: "YOU STILL SUCK!" which forces Seth to chuckle.}
Seth Evans: I'm not even going to acknowledge that... Because I know, I know that I've walked out on this company before. I did get my head together back then --- and I'm telling you all now --- I have not lost it. I didn't step away from this ring by choice; it killed me every single day that I was sitting at home, watching Trauma. Watching Collision. Watching every single wrestler step into this ring and step out of it, holding championships that I dream of holding... and having that feeling in my mind. Knowing. That I can still do this. The fact of the matter is that I was not medically cleared to wrestle. I'm not going to go into great detail about what happened, but it put me on the sidelines for almost a year and all I could think about was getting back into this ring. And I AM back.
{The crowd cheers loud just by the tone of Seth's voice. You could hear the excitement in his voice for being back, how happy it made him to finally step back between the ropes into the nCw ring.}
Seth Evans: For that gentleman who shared his opinion of me, and for everybody else here... let me remind you of what I said when I first appeared on an nCw camera. When I FIRST appeared to New Championship Wrestling. I made a promise. A simple promise. I promised that I would not step away from New Championship Wrestling until two things happened. One; I would not step away until I was the World Heavyweight Champion. Two; I would not step away until I was in the Hall of Fame! Neither one of those things have happened, and so I will be here, with my promise... And even after I keep my promise to myself, and to all of you, everybody sitting backstage. You will be lucky to be rid of me even after those two things happen! Until I take my final breath, I will step into this ring.
{An even louder cheer comes from the crowd, as Seth paces back and forth slowly inside of the ring. He takes a deep breath before continuing.}
Seth Evans: What have I been doing, though? How has my life been? Am I going to lie to all of you and say that it has been hell the entire time. Nah. I'm not going to say that because there's a truth; my life has been great! You all remember Kiela?
{The response from the crowd is obvious with the cheer.}
Seth Evans: Well, she has decided that she's no longer going to accompany me to the ring... unless I ask her to... but we're engaged.
{A bunch of "ooh's" and "aww's" go throughout the crowd.}
Seth Evans: Yep. That's right. I've... been accused of being a thief from a job that I was forced to take while on the sideline. You might've seen me at your local grocery store, but I'm not ashamed! I enjoyed it. But now, I'm back here. Doing what I really love to do. Allow me to say something --- I have not been the most popular with a lot of you during my last stay, and even a lot of wrestlers in the back. I felt more like the black sheep. The outcast. I think a lot of that was on my own doing because I wanted more than I deserved... One year ago, I was in Road To The Gold. I defeated people that no one thought I could.
{He shakes his head, a little disgusted with this part of his past. But there's a twist.}
Seth Evans: Freakke the Clown. Everybody has said that he has had my number, and that I could not beat him... I managed to do just that. Lex Sense. A man almost three times my size, and everybody thought for sure that he was going to beat me to advance to the finals of the tournament --- I pulled the biggest upset in the entire 2011 Road To The Gold, and quite possibly the biggest upset out of ANY Road To The Gold match. However, it was Xander Famularo that defeated me in the finals... and rather than shake his hand, and admit that he was the better man; I insulted him. I disrespected him. I practically spit in his face and said that he wasn't on my level and he couldn't do it again. I've got... two words... for you.
{He says while walking toward the camera that's at the corner of the ring, holding up two fingers to it.}
Seth Evans: I'm...
{He lowers one finger down, counting down.}
Seth Evans: Sorry.
{He lowers the second finger and walks back towards the center of the ring.}
Seth Evans: I'm sorry that I disrespected you like I did. You were the better man... you might still be. As of your latest actions, that's probably not a very popular decision with all of these people, but you did beat me. You did deserve to beat me. I wasn't worthy. All of those things have changed now, though. I do feel worthy.
{Shaking his head, he puts his hand up as if to tell himself to stop.}
Seth Evans: Don't get me wrong! I feel worthy. It does not mean that I am --- as I have to earn my way back to the top. From the bottom, if need be.
{Looking directly into the camera, again. He gives a genuine smile.}
Seth Evans: Let's get back to the show. I'm going to leave you all with these words... ENTER... ROUND THREE. Of Seth... mother****ing... Evans!
{Seth drops his microphone in the middle of the ring and rolls out of the ring as "Stand Up" by All That Remains begins to play again and he shakes hands with many more of the fans on his way back up the ramp to exit.}

SEGMENT
Nathan Webb
“Decleration of War”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/center][/b]
{The scene starts with Kelly Fox and Adam Knite sitting in the center of the ring behind a desk with two chairs set on the other side of the desk. Behind Kelly and Adam stand two body guards as a show of force. As Kelly receives the cue she picks up the microphone and starts talking.}
Kelly Fox: On Sunday night when everything seemed to come together for the most part…when I was finally able to bring the toughest nut to crack to my side when I was able to put the nails in the coffin that was Falcon…and even though my husband {glares at Adam} was not able to finish his job in removing one Trent Helms…I definitely had the wind at my back. {Kelly pauses for a second for effect before starting again} Unfortunately something was brought to me that needed my immediate attention. Something that was supposed to die but didn’t. Two individuals that I had THOUGHT I had removed not only from my company but from my life. TWO individuals determined to be a thorn in my side despite my efforts to keep them away, not only for the safety of all those within the company but for the public good as well. On Sunday night these two individuals conducted an unprovoked attack on my husband after he had been battered and bruised and emasculated with the shaving of his hair. The purpose of this “despicable attack” for a lack of a better term was to do what these two have been doing for the last two months; threatening me and this benevolent organization to get their places back in MY company. Are they coming back to wrestle and contribute to the quality of a product with a fair minded and unbiased ownership?
{The crowd boos hearing this.}
Kelly Fox: No. In fact those two hooligans have actually come out saying that they have every intention of declaring war on me. They claim they are coming back to “clean up” the mess that they created when they helped me come to power. So not only do they make these god awful vignettes, not only do they take up valuable air time with an interview, not only do they come into my office and demand me look at a piece of crap they call a declaration of war of a contract, but this past Sunday they cross a line. They put their hands on MY husband as well as the man who made it possible for you ingrates to enjoy the programming you see on a weekly basis.
{The crowd boos louder in response to her statement.}
Kelly Fox: After reviewing the events of the night I was informed that I didn’t have any recourse to go after Nathan Webb and Rose Acantha. Both were on public property by being in the arena parking lot and Adam did put his hand, albeit his fingers on the hands of Rose resulting in both provocation and self-defense being enabled. Either way both obviously made their feelings known and in order to quell future out breaks of this sort of senseless violence from occurring again I have to take action and thus I am have invited both Nathan Webb and Rose Acantha, out of the goodness in my own heart to come out here and discuss their own actions and in the end re-instate them as members of New Championship Wrestling.
{The crowd cheers as Kelly gives the crowd an icy stare.}
Kelly Fox: So without further ado let me ask that Nathan Webb and Rose Acantha get their collective asses out here so we can get the formalities out of the way.
{With that “Forever Shamed” by Godsmack blares through the loudspeakers, soon followed by Nathan and Rose coming out on stage and slowly making their way down into the ring. Nathan is wearing black baggy jeans, a t-shirt with the burning rose symbol of Organized Chaos, and a sport coat over that. Nathan’s hair is neatly cut and his face shows signs of a five o’clock shadow. Rose is wearing her own baggy jeans, with pink trim and a black t-shirt showing her midriff with a pink rose on it, and her hair is in a pair of pony tails with pink highlights running throughout. Both are walking slowly but with a purpose keeping their eyes on Kelly and Adam as they finally reach the ring and take their respective places in their chairs opposite of Adam and Kelly. As both groups exchange death stares Nathan’s music fades leaving the cheering of the crowd. Nathan grabs his microphone and looks down at the contract between both sides until Kelly Fox begins speaking.}
Kelly Fox: Well…Well…Well the man who actually has the gall to openly declare war on me is actually face to face with me. I have to admit I was doubting your threats against me there these past weeks. I guess you proved me wrong.
Nathan Webb: You know what they say {Nathan says looking at Adam} when you get complacent you get caught.
Adam Knite: {Almost getting out of his seat with anger} You son of a bitch!!!
{Kelly Fox raises her hand to keep Adam from getting too riled up}
Kelly Fox: Adam, allow me. Yes you are right. You were right in that you were going to strike when you felt right and yes you may have caught us when our pants were down, but now any element of surprise is gone. When I sign this contract the ball is in my court and believe me I have many tools at my disposal.
Nathan Webb: Yes your tools…I think that’s an apt word to describe them.
Kelly Fox: {snickers} Jokes huh? I got to admit I like your bravado Nathan. I would even to go as far as to say that you have a set of balls on you. But I think, no I know that this bravado will be soon subsided as you realize the real hole you have dug for yourself. But before we all eulogize your death I just want to know why take on this quixotic crusade? Why put yourself in a no win situation?
Nathan Webb: You know exactly why…
Kelly Fox: Ahh yes to clean up the mess you helped to create. The mess YOU made when you helped me to ascend to power. I still haven’t properly thanked you for that. So thank you. But you know what you should have known what you were doing when you backed me. I am a Fox after all.
Nathan Webb: In name yes…but we can argue whether you will amount to shade of what your father was to this company…despite being a heartless bastard.
Kelly Fox: {lets out a long breath from her nose trying to hold her own anger.} Debatable at best but regardless of what you may think this crusade will bring I am in power and will be damned if that is taken away from me. Unfortunately I still don’t think you quite comprehend the situation that you find yourself in. You saw on Sunday that I was able to finally court my staunchest opposition in Roberto Verona to my side. So as of right now you are on an island all alone. You saw what Lex Sense did to Falcon on Sunday…consider that the strongest picture of what is in store for you. All those who have opposed me have fallen by the wayside…your just going to be another name…and another body dragged out on the stretcher. So before I fully sign this contract on this table let me be the better person by asking whether you actually are willing to make the foolhardy mistake you are about to make in this futile effort.
Nathan Webb: Let me start by saying this. Despite what you may think of me and my mental fortitude can be thrown out the window. You may threaten my career and even my very life but unless you have a knife…unless your threats are just a preponderance of the very crap that comes out of your very mouth, of the very deeds which you put into action. Yeah threaten me…hell even hurt me. Send your Lex Sense’s and your Roberto Verona’s but in the end you are only putting gasoline on an already lit fire. So to answer your question…YOUR DAMN STRAIGHT I want you to sign that contract. I guarantee I will make your own fool hardy words later.
Kelly Fox: {laughs and shakes her head} Fair enough but don’t expect me to shed a tear at your own funeral.
{With that Kelly signs the contact followed by Nate and finally Rose.}
Kelly Fox: Oh by the way that math you have with Andrew Jacobson begins now….
{With that Kelly and Adam get up and leave the ring with the attendants clearing the ring to get ready for the impending match}
