The scene opens with JackHammer sitting in his home in Chicago. He's lounging in his leather recliner, feet propped up on the footrest, arms resting comfortably over his stomach. The remote control rests above his hands and he watches the television. He is wearing blue denim shorts, his trademark black bandana and a blue Old Navy t-shirt. Angel is sitting in his lap, she is wearing a black tank top and white denim shorts. Soft music is heard playing in the background, turning out to be "The Phantom Of The Opera" by Nightwish. A montage plays on his television to match the words to the song, and the camera zooms in to watch it.
Song: "In sleep he sang to me - In dreams he came That voice which calls to me - And speaks my name And do I dream again - For now I find The Phantom of the opera is there - Inside my mind."[/color]
At the point where the chorus kicks in, montages of JackHammer's trek through the NCW show in full motion. Pictures of him landing a massive Earth Shatter onto his opponet in his first match, his debut match. JackHammer's hand being raised in the air. JackHammer's ecstatic first interview with the NCW, where he celebrated with cousin Goliath and wife Angel Black. Finally, it fades in on a picture that was aired throughout televisions worldwide showing JackHammer as a rising superstar on a quest for the NCW championship.[/color]
Song: "Sing once again with me. Our strange duet. My power over you - Grows stronger yet. And though you turn from me - To glance behind
The Phantom of the opera is there - Inside your mind."[/color]
As the chorus is being sung, clips of memorable matches in JackHammer's past are shown. Clips of JackHammer's first title win over Ken Wild in the famed ICW2 for the Television Championship. JackHammer defeating Bill"The Crusher"Smith in a heated battle for the IWA World Championship almost two years later. Finally, it shows JackHammer and Sweet T battling in a Hell in a Cell match where JackHammer gave a Earth Shatter off the top of the cell and down to the floor below ending Sweet T's career.[/color]
Song: "Tarja - Those who have seen your face Draw back in fear - I am the mask you wear.
Marco - It's me they hear
Your spirit and my voice
In one combined. The phantom of the opera is there - Inside your mind."[/color]
The second verse goes on as clips of the downfall of JackHammer are shown. First, his loss to Scott Palmer, despite having the formula for success at his fingertips. His unbelievable loss to Ryam Maxiem, thanks to blatant stupidity. His loss to Lex Sense last week. But just when things seem to be getting worse in this montage, it switches to clips of JackHammer's transformation. His return as The Chi-Town Terror, the uncanny wit and charm, the power and the force, the attitude change, and last, but not least, the return to his roots and training with Saber.[/color]
Song: "Tarja,Opera- Beware - Phantom of the opera. Marco - In all your fantasies.You always knew - That man and mystery."[/color]
The solo is skipped, but as the chrous plays, an odd montage is played, with JackHammer's return from surgery, his rehabilitation and his ultimate return to the squared circle, in the NCW. and last but not least, a few clips from JackHammer's father's funeral from a few years ago. Despite it being a sad event, JackHammer, draped in all black, just stands there shaking his head before walking away. The song then abruptly ends and we hear that ever famous deep voice being to speak as the cameraman zooms out away from the television.[/color]
"NCW. This is no time to think about all the rewards in life that I've obtained. This is the time to prove to all of you; each and every one; that there's still alot of fight left in his ol' man. Call me what you want: old, worn-down, a hasbeen, whatever. It's just words to me. Word with no meaning. Words that mean nothing and have no backbone. You see, NCW, I'm a man of action. I don't like to hear people say stuff they can't back up. What good is a man who claims to be an adventurer when he's afraid of heights?"[/color]
JackHammer gets up and walks to the television and does something aside of camera view. When he turns around, he holds a video cassette tape in his hand and a smile adorns his tanned face. It's only appropriate to say that the cameraman as well as just about everyone watching this promo is confused in some form or fashion.[/color]
"Seasons come, seasons go. The seeds of rebirth have been planted. There's no time to lament, NCW. I'll give you a time limit. This Sunday. Your time begins now, NCW. And now is the time to play a game... my game. The game where everyone is at odds with one another. Some call this good old fashioned War. That's a game I love to play."
"You see, while everyone is busy trying to figure out their place in life, I've figured mine out. I've found out what my place after life is too. I'm not afraid of what's going to happen to me, nor will I run from it. But I can change it. He has given me the power to change it... and change it I will."[/color]
JackHammer turns around, again, his back to the camera and, again, does something we can't see. When he turns back around, his face is a dark, deep red. His green eyes greet us with another odd feature to JackHammer: a beard. JackHammer doesn't smile or anything, just stands there with an empty expression on his face.[/color]
"The past was something I had to learn to live with. And I did. And I still do. In the past, I've been in one tournament match and was eliminated. But that's a part of history that's not going to repeat itself, I guarantee. This is one match that I'm not only ecstatic about going into. I'm going into it with a full head of steam, and NO ONE will be able to stop me..."
"Mike Laszlo, I see you've finally brought up enough courage to drag your loser a*s in here. A bright young star you may be, but a fool you are even more. When I think of your time here in the NCW and all that you have said and done here I can't help but laugh. But don't get me wrong, I wasn't laughing at anything you said. I was laughing at your lack of intelligence. While the factory upstairs keeps chugging out smoke due to my words for you, the rest of you will slowly shut down. Mark my words, my friend, you will fail to top me. I've got nothing on my mind but this match... and I'm locked and loaded. I'm a loose cannon ready to fire... can you handle the pressure?"
"You will claim that you will come into our match and dominate me and go home with both the Honor title and the X title. Hah, Mike, the only thing you dominate is the small package downstairs and you have problems doing that! So you and your little ego can just mosey on down to the hotel and oil each other up and spend all of Sovereign watching me come out victorious in this match. It'd be worthless for you to come only to be decimated by me, wouldn't it? What kind of domination would that be? Surely none worthy of my respect, that's for sure."
"Now, while I've got your attention from watching whatever and only dreaming about what you would do with yourself, let me let you in on a secret. If I'm a condom, I've got alot more uses than you ever will, my friend. Keep that in mind. Aside from the fact that you obviously are fu*king clueless as to what The Chi-Town Terror really is, there's nothing worth saying about you, really. But since I've nothing else to do but sit here and wait for Sovereign, I'll tell you a story. Once there was a man named JackHammer. He wanted to show that, despite his age, he was just as skilled, agile and gifted as those a few years his junior. And The Chi-Town Terror was just the insignia he needed. This isn't just a nickname. This is my way of life. I'm a man who can't be stopped and won't be stopped just because I lose. Everyone can be knocked down a peg or two, some even stay down for the count. But it takes courage to get back up and try it one more time. And that's what being The Chi-Town Terror is all about. I may be a broken-down old man on the outside, but on the inside beats the heart of a predator. A man with a dream and a goal and that's to become the NCW Champion. As far as my ambition goes, it's hotter than ever before. I've been brought here to eliminate pompous punks like you, Mike Lazlo, and if there's any doubt whatsoever about my skills or anything else, then watch me in our match... because you'll be amazed at what I still have to offer... and you will fall just like the rest, Mike Lazlo. Trust me."
"I know you once feared me. But that's your mistake right there... you ONCE feared me. If I remember correctly, a wise man once said 'Fear not the things you see, fear the things that you've seen.' Perhaps I don't make your heart skip a beat, Mike Lazlo. Maybe you don't have any fear left in you. Maybe you're just so fu*kin' doped up from inflating your already giant fu*kin' ego, that your brain somehow got lost in the sudden rush of air, because there is no way in hell that you can't fear me. For years, I was underestimated and proved the naysayers wrong. And this time, I will do it once more. I've beaten giants. I've beaten muscleheads. I've beaten legends. I've beaten rookies. Hell, I'll beat the hell outta you Mike Lazlo."[/color]
JackHammer looks to the television behind him, which shows JackHammer walking down the ring, in slow motion. The guy he is facing is unknown for a few moments, until it is seen that his opponent is Lex Sense, from his match last week.[/color]
"Seven-feet-plus of pure rage would be a nice description of myself, but why lie? I'm not seven-feet of rage. I'm seven-feet of pure adrenaline. Seven-feet of pure anger. Hatred. Power. Destruction. And Mike Lazlo, you will only get to feel half of it, unfortunately, because while I'm busy tossing your body around the ring, I will be far too focused on my next challenge. There comes in a time in every man's life when he's got to face reality... and the reality of yours is... ya shoulda stayed in the circus... where ya belong."
"To all who dare walk into my territory at Sovereign, be prepared. Not for just me. But for the a*s-kickin' you're about to receive. The time has come, NCW. Let The Chi-Town Terror show you what I am all about. I will be ready for the challenge that comes into this match... so I hope you bring your best, Mike Lazlo. I want only the best... don't wanna win because ya didn't bring your 'A' Game... Get ready to become just another victim Mike Lazlo..."[/color]
With these words, JackHammer sits back down in his recliner, positioned exactly as he was when the promo began. Angel sitting back on his lap. The camera zooms back onto the happenings of the television montage from earlier, with Nightwish's "The Phantom Of The Opera" still blaring in the background. Camera fades out shortly afterwards.[/color]
