-=The Punisher sits down in his hotel room chair and stares out the window as the rain begins to fall. A tear escapes his eye as he thinks back on all the times Davey Boone had been in his life. The night the Punisher won his very first title stands out the most. He half smiles as he remembers defeating Eric Hardy in what was one of the greatest matches in his career. Standing on the top rope with the World Championship belt only to have Davey slide into the ring and give him the news that his mother was dying. The Punisher closes his eyes and lowers his head as the tears begin to fall and the realization that a good friend has passed on to the other side. He finally sucks it up and wipes the tears dry. He stands up and changes out of his dress clothes and into some workout clothes and starts to head to the hotel gym for a good workout when someone knocks at the door. The Punisher opens the door to see his long-time friend Chuck Watson standing there=-
-=Punisher=- Hey Chuck, come on in.
-=Chuck Watson=- Hey Pun.
-=Chuck walks into the Punisher's hotel room, and they go over by the window and each take a seat as they look out at the rain falling=-
-=Chuck Watson=- You know Davey loved you, right?
-=Punisher=- We were like brothers in the ring, Chuck. I will miss him a lot
-=Chuck Watson=- We all will. So are you and Adam going to be ready this weekend?
-=Punisher=- I am always ready, Chuck.
-=Chuck Watson=- What about Adam? I didn't see him there today.
-=Punisher=- I trust he will be ready come Sunday. I think he is having a hard time with Davey's passing. Kind of makes you question your mortality when you see someone so close to you die so suddenly.
-=Chuck Watson=- Yeah, I know the feeling.
-=Punisher=- So why did you really come by tonight, Chuck? I know you can't be that interested in my match this week when you got to get Seth ready for a fatal four-way match.
-=Chuck Watson=- Ahhh, same old Pun. Always getting to the point.
-=Punisher=- I'm not one to beat around the bush, Chuck. You know that.
-=Chuck Watson=- You know what you have to do, Pun.
-=Punisher=- I have to win those tag team titles this week, that's what I have to do. I have to make sure legends like Davey, Adam and myself aren't forgotten. I have to make sure that these young kids know that this isn't about the money. It isn't about the girls. It's damn sure not about the money. It's about our place in history. When I am 60 and I pass people on the street, I want them to say 'There goes the Punisher. One of the Greatest to ever hit the ring'. I want to make sure that when anyone mentions the greatest wrestlers of all time, my name is on that list along with Adam Knite, Davey Boone, The Tremor, The Knucker, hell even the Phere's were as talented as they come. This Sunday, the Brothers Holland will be brought to their knees at the hands of myself and Adam. We will bury their careers and seperate them from the tag titles of which they love so much.
-=Chuck Watson=- I have no doubt that you and Adam will handle your business this weekend at Mind Games, but you know that isn't what I am talking about.
-=Punisher=- Then what the hell is it you are talking about, Chuck? Damn, man, get to the point!
-=Chuck Watson=- The Kid, Pun.
-=Punisher=- What about him?
-=Chuck Watson=- You got to finish what Davey started.
-=Punisher=- You mean train the kid? Mentor him? What?
-=Chuck Watson=- You have to help me take care of him out there.
-=The Punisher gets up and turns his back to Chuck and puts his hands on his hips=-
-=Chuck Watson=- Davey doesn't trust anyone else to do it is all.
-=Punisher=- (tears running down his cheeks) But why does it have to be me? I loved Davey like a brother, Chuck. Dealing with the thought of him not ever being there for me again is something that is going to take some time. I can't just go out and pick up where he left off. I just don't think I can do it right now. Maybe sometime down the road, but not now.
-=Chuck Watson=- Seth knows that. He even mentioned it to me earlier at the funeral. Whenever you are ready to help out, just let me know.
-=Chuck heads towards the door. He opens the door, and the turns to look the Punisher in the face=-
-=Chuck Watson=- Just remember one thing, without Davey Boone, there would be no Punisher. Let that sink in, Pun, and call me if you need me!
-=Chuck walks out the door. The Punisher sits back down at the window as the hotel room door closes. He wipes his eyes dry one more time as he picks up the phone and dials a number. The phone rings, and Adam Knite picks up on the other end=-
-=Adam Knite=- Hello....
-=Punisher=- Adam, its Pun. Don't talk, just listen. I know why you weren't there today, and I understand your reasons. I don't blame you or hold a grudge about it. I do have one simple request from you.
-Adam Knite=- Yeah, and what's that?
-=Punisher=- Be on top of your game at Mind Games. These Holland Brother jackasses are going to regret that they were ever booked in this match. They are going to regret that they were ever born. They say with every death there comes a new life. Well, I feel like our new life will be as nCw World Tag Team Champions and I can only achieve that with you by my side. We have had differences in our past, but we are in this together. One team. One goal. I look back on all I have done and all I have accomplished in my career, and I smile. I think about all the times we have been up and down the roads together, and I smile. I think of times where Davey, you and I sat up all night laughing and talking about how things could and should be in wrestling. It is time for us to make those things come true. I watched Shawshank Redemption earlier today before I went to the funeral home. Morgan Freeman's character really spoke to me in that movie, and I am saying it to you. Either get busy living, or get busy dying. There is no in between Adam. You have now seen what can happen. We can be gone in the blink of an eye. Davey didn't deserve to die so young, and anyone would agree with that. Our careers don't deserve to die young either! So this Sunday night in St Louis, Missouri, it's time to ressurect what was once thought to be dead and gone. That passion. That fire. That hunger that burns deep down in your belly. That competitive streak that makes you go out every single week and demolish whatever obsticle that stands in your way. This week is the rebirth of the Punisher. It is the rebirth of Adam Knite. It is the rebirth of the Alliance of Violence!!
-=Adam Knite=- You are right, Pun. It's time to get busy living, or get busy dying. I am with you bro!
-=Punisher=- Good! I will see you in St Louis my man!
-=Adam Knite=- Absolutely!
-=They both hang up the phone excited about this weekends match. The Punisher grabs his hotel key and heads down to the gym to get in a good workout and release all the tension and sadness brought on by the day's events. The scene fades as the Punisher walks out his hotel room and the door slowly closes behind him.=-
-=Punisher=- Hey Chuck, come on in.
