[White Tiger]

*the crowd is buzzing with excitement over this up coming Xtreme Zone III, especially the main event, consisting of what is arguably the best tag team to ever step foot inside of the squared circle against a Hardcore legend and a ‘new guy’ for not only the Universal Tag Team Championship, but a chance to knock off two great competitors in the hunt for the Golden Championship, in which one member of Nature is currently hunting for. The Xtreme Vision switches and the crowd cheers as he sees The Tiger, but he doesn’t look as intense as he normally does, he looks a bit more exited and we all can see the gold on his shoulder. He enters a room with a desk piled with papers and Styrofoam coffee cups, and behind that desk is a man who obviously works hard. There is a chair in front of the desk for what seems like meeting purposes only*

The Tiger
“You wanted to see me Sir?”

[/color]

Mystery
yes, come in, have a seat. There’s talk backstage that you no longer want to continue to tag team, is this correct?

[/color]

The Tiger
yes Sir, I want to pursue my dreams in my solo career

[/color]

Mystery
Well, then I’ll see what you can do, you sure about this? You are a great tag team competitor after all

[/color]

The Tiger
I’m sure.

[/color]

*the scene fades and the crowd is left in wonder for only a minute before another scene opens up, this time it’s the same TT we all know and love, but seems to be in the backstage area of JWA. TT is having a conversation with someone, we soon find it out to be Pohatu, and the crowd cheers.*

Pohatu
I know you gave up tag teaming for gold in the BTWF, but c’mon man, you know as well as I do that we can take this fed’s tag team division by storm and easily gain the tag titles.

[/color]

The Tiger
I already told you, I don’t want to start tag teaming again, my single career is important to me.

[/color]

Pohatu
this isn’t the BTWF any more! You can hold more than one title, come on man, don’t let a buddy hanging!

[/color]

The Tiger
all right, I guess we can team up for a while…

[/color]

Pohatu
trust me, you wont regret it

[/color]

*the scene fades again, and another scene takes its place, this time it seems rather new, like in the ExWA building. We follow The Tiger who is going down a hall, he stops at a door and we can clearly see that it’s Winter Sanderson’s office. TT opens the door.*

The Tiger
You wanted to see me Mr. Sanderson?

[/color]

Winter Sanderson
yes, come in and have a seat. In JWA, you and Pohatu were great as a tag team, and so that is why I am going to stick you in the first Xtreme Zone’s Tag Turmoil match

[/color]

The Tiger
but…

[/color]

Winter Sanderson
you have a week to find a partner, I’d get cracking if I were you

[/color]

*the scene fades. The scene opens up again, this time in a dark room that seems empty…desolate…even frightening. Strange sounds are heard though but they seem to come from everywhere. Suddenly a light appears and the sounds stop, before a man steps in the light. The crowd cheers as they see it’s TT with his hair pulled back, his grey shirt having a huge sweat spot on his chest, his hand wraps becoming lose, obviously from training hard. TT goes from serious to wearing that cocky smirk which we have seen dispite his recent un-success*

The Tiger
after losing to Shadow at Vertigo, many people said I should quit before I dig myself into a hole I can’t dig out of, and I was going to before I realized that I don’t like digging. *The crowd laughs at this silly joke, but TT continues* so when I signed for this match, I thought I would be facing Ric Flair and Senior Gomez for the Universal Tag Titles, turns out Flair got some cold feet and quit, which is good for his health, and mine, after all, God knows how many diseases he has, I rather be wrestling a rabid dog than wrestle you again…oh wait, that’s right, we never wrestled one on one…too bad. However, there is one person who I’ve had an encounter with, that man’s name is Senior Gomez, the person to hold the JWA Extreme 24/7 title for a month…before losing it to a new entrant to JWA…me. now here we are again, you have a hold of a title that I want, they say Lightning doesn’t strike twice, but I’m not Lightning, that’s Pohatu’s department. I return to my hunting spot, and you’ve become the hunted one again. Gomez, you may be a Hadcore legend, but when you defended your title against me, you lost your title to a new guy, the old fashioned way. I never attacked you for the title backstage, unlike you did after you lost to ‘prove a point’. No, I won it by getting the 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. After losing to me, you wanted to contend for the JWA Championship, but you would have been finished by me if you ever won that title. Now you have a chance to enter the Golden title tournament, and all you have to do is win this match. Well guess what? You will NOT get a chance for that title, I may have lost my first chance, but I intend to make a point with this match. Gomez, winning this match will mean a lot more to me than it will you, winning this match will mean that I become a Tag Team Champion in another fed, which means I will have one Tag Title reign for each of the E-Feds I was in at least one Pay-Per-View event. It will also mean that I will break this unfortunate losing streak I’m on, which will mean I will feel better about myself. The final thing is, I will keep you away from MY Golden Championship. That title will be mine, and I don’t care who I have to go through to get it. if you want the Golden title, then beat me, just like Flair was to afraid to do, that’s why he had to have Shadow choke slam me through the Chamber, because he knew that if I ever got my paws on his old wrinkly ass, he would have been finished for the 1-2-3. But now that he had a chance to prove to me that he was worth holding that title, he retires, funny how that works. Oh well I’ll just whip Draven around instead.

[/color]

*the crowd cheers as TT grabs a bottle of water from the camera man and drinks about half of it, obviously a little thirsty from training hard. TT tosses the water back to the Camera man and shuts his eyes, obviously trying to figure out what to say about the new guy that is Draven. TT opens his eyes and smirks one again before continuing*

The Tiger
but lets not forget Draven, the person who has volunteered to get his ass kicked instead of Flair. Draven, you have no idea what you got yourself into. Draven, I hope you wrestle good, because I’m still set up to face Flair, and I was going to play Beat Down on him. Beat Down goes a little something like this…

[/color]

*another light comes on, this time it shows a punching bag. TT turns around and holds his hands together close to his face, closing his eyes. Suddenly he opens his eyes and with a loud ‘HA!’ he begins rapidly throwing left and rights, beating the punching bag back so that the roof began to crumble above where the bag was attached. TT stops punching and the bag snaps back fast, but TT easily dodges and with a square kick about right where a jaw would be and the force of the kick is just enough to snap the bag off of its top holder and it flies at the camera man. The camera man ducks to avoid the punching bag, dropping the camera as well. The camera lands on it’s right side and we see the camera man cowering and the punching bag that stopped right in front of him, thanks to the fact that TT had grabbed the bottom of the bag to stop it. this scene stays like this for about 30 seconds before the camera man can compose himself enough to stand up and grab the camera. TT is shaking his head at the camera man and continues*

The Tiger
I really should talk to your boss about finding a camera man who doesn’t scare easy…anyway back to the promo. Draven, I have to ask you, what would happen if I land that kick? All I have to say is start counting your teeth, because as I said before, you came at a really bad time. if Flair was still wrestling, this win would have meant a lot more to me than it already is. Beating Flair meant that I would have beat the only ExWA Golden Champion as well as keeping that man from becoming two time ExWA Golden Champion. Instead I have to face you Draven, I have to defeat you for the tag titles. Since I’ve never seen you wrestle before, I’ll just beat the living shit out of you the way I would have Flair. Draven, I don’t intend to let this match slip by my hand like I did all of the other ones. This time, it’s personal, losing three matches is an outrage. I don’t care how good you are, how good you think you are, hell I don’t care how good anybody is. That squared circle is my hunting ground, my jungle. Welcome to my jungle, and I intend to end my losing streak at Xtreme Zone. I begin the transformation today, the transformation that will lead me to the Golden Championship. The backing of Pulse is no longer enough to obtain the glory that is the Golden Championship. No, I need something that’s rare, and there’s only one thing that is that rare…

[/color]

*the scene cuts off*

[White Tiger]

Irvine Fury
what the hell was that all about?

[/color]

Teddy Speaks
I dunno, it seems that TT thinks that him being The Tiger isn’t enough, but did you see that kick?

[/color]

Irvine Fury
yeah, it would have been cool, if I was watching Sunday night football and that was worth a field goal for my favorite team

[/color]

Teddy Speaks
wait…I have just received word that a 2006 Z06 Corvette has just pulled into the parking lot

[/color]

Irvine Fury
wait…can you even get those yet?

[/color]

Mystery(ish)
Nope, but it’s amazing what you can get when you give major Pay-Per-View tickets to the head honcho of Chevrolet

*the crowd cheers as they hear TT’s voice over the PA system, the feed of the Xtreme Vision changes to the parking lot and we see TT getting out of his new car and putting his blue tinted shades on the dash. We hardly get to see the inside of the car before the door gets shut and TT begins making his way to the ring.

Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger starts and the crowd cheers as TT makes his way from the back. he gets to the top of the ramp then stops, spreading his arms out receiving a huge pop from the crowd. TT begins to walk down the ramp, giving fans high fives. He takes a sign that a fan made that says ‘The Tiger doesn’t loose, he just misses’ and receives another pop from the crowd. He walks to the ring and slides under the ropes, climbing them and raising his fist, receiving another pop from the crowd. He climbs down from the turnbuckle and receives a mic.*

The Tiger
many people are wondering ‘what’s this transformation?,’ ‘how do you feel about tagging with Pohatu again against two accomplished ExWA superstars?,’ ‘how will you prepare for Gomez and Draven?,’ and ‘if you have to, will you be able to defeat Pohatu for the Golden Championship?’ all that and more will be answered…soon

[/color]

*Eye of the Tiger hits and TT exits, leaving the crowd to be confused, as well as an entire locker room*

Teddy Speaks
soon? How soon? And when?

[/color]

Irvine Furry
what the hell…I demand closure! Get back here Fuzz Butt!

[/color]

OOC: confused why I ended so abruptly? well consider this Part One if you will...after all, I can’t give you all the secrets now can I?

['The Lightning' Pohatu]

The speaker system in the arena for X-TremeZone arena crackled to life, everyone in the audience quieting down to listen, all the eyes traveling to the X-TremeVision, obviously thinking that it was going to show an entrance video or something, but nothing of the sort started up. The familiar thumps of a wrestling match were heard and then the voices of the announcers were heard.

Dean- Pohatu swung and fell on Tiger and Chronic ladder and the ladder fell over and all 3 men have fell and crashed into the 6 tables below on the floor. All 3 men went through 6 tables. That is at least a 25 ft fall from the top of the ladder in the ring to the floor. It is absolutely a carrack. All 3 men are down.

Ian- LOOK, LOOK, Dean.

Dean- Abyss is grabbing the belts. Abyss is grabbing the belts. And he’s GOT THEM. Abyss GOT THE BELTS. HE’S DID IT. Abyss DID IT.

Austin- THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH, CHRONIC AND ABYSS!

Crowd explodes in excitement.

Dean- He did it, I can’t believe the SOB did it. Talk about bad luck turning into good luck.

Ian- That’s right Dean, Abyss had bad luck this whole match, but he didn’t give up, he didn’t quit. He fought like a Champion and in the end he is the winner.

Dean- What a hellacious match. So many Holy shit moments. Abyss is now out side of the ring checking on his partner Chronic. It is absolutely a war zone out here. Shattered tables, Dented chairs, broken bodies just simply a land of destruction. Well ladies and gentlemen have to get things cleaned up here so when we return we will have more ExWA action as the “Fight like a Champion” continues after these messages.

The X-TremeVision now came to life, showing Pohatu to be sitting on a couch, watching the footage that they had just listened in on. As Dean was again being heard saying that the show would be right back, he raised the remote control and pressed the power button, the television turning off. The cruiserweight just sat there, watching the screen for about half a minute before he stood up, shaking his head as he placed the remote control on top of the television, turning away from the television and heading through the door of the room to a room that looked like it was a room where guests were met in. The cruiserweight turned to look into the camera lens.

“I was wondering when you would show up.”

Is all he said before he walked away from the camera, the camera man following him. They reached a door and Pohatu had just started to open it when a door bell rung through the house. Pohatu grinned a bit and walked past the camera man back to the room they had been in and went to the door, opening it. Outside it was shown to be a rather sunny day, white fluffy clouds filling the sky. As the camera lowered down to look at the guest, showing it to be none other then one of X-TremeZone’s backstage Interviewers, Tom Selleck. Pohatu nodded briefly and stepped out of the way, allowing Tom Selleck inside then closed the door, sighing a bit.

“Go ahead and set up right in here.”

Pohatu said then slipped out of the room, coming back in with a couple of chairs. The cruiserweight set one chair up behind the tripod that Tom Selleck had put up while he had slipped out of the room, then put the other one in front of it. Pohatu sat down on the one in front of the camera clad right now in only a pair of baggy, tan shorts. Tom Selleck finished setting up then sat down, beginning the interview.

“Recently, you and Tiger lost the TLC tag team match. What’re your feelings on losing that, despite the fact that you and The Tiger claim to be JWA’s and ExWA’s greatest tag team?”

Pohatu tilted his head, making it look like he was thinking about his answer. He stayed silent for a few seconds then seemed to finally make up his mind, beginning to speak.

“I know I wasn’t at my best in that match. I had just transferred over here to ExWA, and I hadn’t worked out since Final Destination back at JWA. As for Tiger...I think he was still feeling some of his injuries from Golden Elimination Chamber match.”

Tom Selleck quickly scribbled some things down before continuing, now with seemingly more enthusiasm.

“At the upcoming X-TremeZone, you and Tiger are going up against Senor Gomez and this new guy named Draven. What do you think are your chances of winning that match?”

Pohatu quirked a brow at the interviewer, a cocky grin creeping onto the cruierweight’s face as he looked at the interviewer.

Your not serious, are you? Tiger kicked Senor Gomez’s butt back at JWA for the Extreme 24/7 title. That was in Tiger’s SECOND JWA match. If Tiger’s done it once, he can do it again. As for Draven...well, he’s a wild card in this match up, but I think I already know pretty muchly what he’s going to do. I looked at his profile backstage, and he pretty muchly has the same gimmick as Vegito and Shadow.”

Tom Selleck seemed confused by that bit of information, and he voiced it out loud, obviously trying to get as much information out of Pohatu as he could.

“What are Shadow and Vegito’s gimmicks, you ask? Dead men walking, that’s what. They tend to use caskets, the chokeslams, tombstones, Last Rides....How many more of these guys are we going to get before management puts a cap on it? Jeez...”

Tom Selleck chuckled a bit as Pohatu said that, then continued the interview, seeming to be enjoying himself now.

“At the recent House Show, Gomez was crowned the best Extreme 24/7 Champion of JWA. Do you think that will affect the match in any way, shape or form?”

Pohatu again laughed like he had when the interviewer had asked when he had asked about their chances of winning the match.

“The only way it’ll effect the match is if management pulls another fast one on us and the stipulation is changed to a No Disqualification tag team match. Like what happened in Nature’s first tag team title shot against Shadow and White Dragon. Wait, that’s not a good example...The Deadly Alliance lost after I hit a Lightning Strike on White Dragon onto some thumb tacks.”

Pohatu chuckled as he remembered that, Tom Selleck cringing as he remembered that same moment, obviously not liking it.

“Well, that concludes this interview. Good luck at the upcoming X-TremeZone.”

Tom Selleck stood up and shook hands with Pohatu, Selleck taking down the camera and leaving the house. Pohatu turned to the other camera man, seeming to think for a moment before he spoke again.

“Head down to the arena. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

The camera man nodded then powered down the camera, the last being seen being Pohatu heading up the stairs. Within a couple of minutes, another camera man emerged from the entrance ramp on the X-TremeZone arena, quickly running down the ramp to set up. Just as he had finished setting up....

['The Lightning' Pohatu]

The odd sounding opening of Numb/Encore by Linkin' Park, featuring Jay-Z, hit the sound system, the lights slowly dimming down as everybody's eyes turned to the entrance, obviously wanting to see the entrance for the next wrestler. As Jay-Z was heard saying 'thank you' over the PA system, a figure stepped out at the top of the ramp, only his silhouette being able to be seen from the lighting in the entrance.

Can I get an encore, do you want more?

As that was heard, the small bursts of pyros were blasted all over the arena, the lights starting to come back as the song picked up it's pace. As the asking for an encore was heard again, the lights snapped back on, showing Pohatu to be standing there. He grinned a bit then threw his arms up to the crucifix positioning, the crowd burst into cheers as they saw the cruiserweight, obviously loving him.

Now what the hell are you waiting fooor?

Pohatu slowly walked down the ramp, yellow bursts of pyros going off on either side of him. As he reached the ring he glanced around, a bit of a grin coming to his face. He took a couple of steps backwards then leaped up onto the apron, lightning bolts streaking down from the ceiling and striking each turnbuckle. As Jay-Z's sigh was heard over the system, Pohatu threw himself over the top rope and landed in the center of the ring, walking to the center of the ring with a bit of a bounce in his step. The cruiserweight moved to the eastern side of the ring, leaning over the top rope as one of the ring side technicians came over. The two exchanged some words before the technician finally handed over the microphone, Pohatu nodding his thanks then walked back to the center of the ring, still seemingly cocky at the moment. The cruiserweight started to raise the microphone up to his lips, but the crowd drowned him out as he tried talking. Pohatu chuckled as he lowered the microphone down, waiting a few more seconds before trying again, managing to talk this time.

“Well, it’s good to see that I’m still loved, despite my refusal to face Mastema for the Deathmatch Championship. Then again, how long did he hold it before somebody else came along and grabbed it? Exactly, not that long. And look at who our current Deathmatch Champion is! Needles! Of all people..it just goes to show that some people are destined for that title, and some aren’t. I’m not one of the people who are destined for it.”

The crowd gave a bit of a mixed reaction to this, some of them remembering that G-Dawg had held the Deathmatch title, some of them liking that Needles was their current champion in that division. Pohatu lowered the microphone down, letting the audience voice their opinion for about half a minute before raising the microphone up to his lips again.

“But that’s not the reason I’m out here. I’m out here to discuss the upcoming match up between The Tiger and myself, going against Senor Gomez and this new guy, Draven. As I mentioned before, my buddy Tiger has beaten Senor Gomez before, and he’ll do it again here. As for Draven...well, I’ll handle him. He’s just another Dead Man wannabe, just like Shadow and Vegito are. If Draven honestly thinks I’m afraid of him and his ‘dark powers’...he has another thing coming. Because you see, Draven, I quit being afraid of the dark at the age of three. You can tell me to be afraid of the dark and you can tell me to rest in peace, but I won’t follow your orders. There’s very few people who’s orders I follow. Hell, I barely follow the orders of management.”

The crowd laughed as Pohatu said he didn’t follow management’s orders, which caused the cruiserweight to grin as he watched the crowd. Pohatu allowed them to speak for about another half a minute then raised the microphone up to his lips.

“Senor Gomez...I respect you. Honestly, I do. I’m just wondering why management had to stick you in the tag division against us. Your a very good wrestler, even when you briefly turned your back on the crowd, much like Virus did. But, The Tiger beat you back at JWA for your Extreme 24/7 title. Him and me will beat you and Draven here again for the Universal Tag Team Titles.”

Pohatu paused, letting the crowd absorb the bit of information he had just said whilst he moved to the southern set of ropes, leaning against them. The crowd finally decided on a mixed reaction to what Pohatu had said, some of them liking Gomez more then Nature, whilst other ones like Nature more then Gomez. Pohatu nodded, letting them have their say before he finally began talking again.

“Tiger, my pal...I’m glad we’re tag teaming again. And with our newest recruit, The Panther, I’m sure we can easily become the best stable here in ExWA. Almost like we did back at JWA...except we recruited Tony Lee onto our team. One of the biggest mistakes we made.”

The crowd gave a loud boo at that, making the cruiserweight down in the ring furrow his brows in confusement.

“What, you guys think just because he sucks up to you that he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread? Him AND Abyss lost to Shady, The Tiger’s archenemy. Shady is a cruiserweight, where as Tony Lee is close to 275 pounds. Anyway...Gomez...Draven...I hope your ready for X-TremeZone. Because once Nature arrives...your going to lose those tag titles.”

The audience, almost if sensing that the end of Pohatu’s time in the ring was ending, started to cheer loudly, but Pohatu managed to speak over them. Well, more like yell.

"Draven and Gomez....
THE LIGHTNING WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!”

With that, Pohatu tossed te microphone back to the technicians at ring side, Numb/Encore ripping across the PA system again. Pohatu hopped over the top rope, not bothering to land on the apron since he landed on the floor. The cruiserweight walked up the ramp, yellow bursts of pyro shooting off on either side of him as he walked up the ramp. At the top, he seemed to hesitate a moment before he spun around, throwing his arms out to the crucifix positioning. He held them there as he slowly walked backstage, steam filling the entrance as we fade....to....black.

[gomez]

The Xtreme Zone pre-show returns from an advert break and as it does so the camera pans around the crowd who are seemingly somewhat bored. The dark match had failed to capture their attention and warm them up. Some fans leave to go to the bathroom while others hold up their signs to try and get fifteen minutes of fame by being on television. The camera passes several signs, “Stinberg is a jobber, Pin me and pay me for life!” , “WOOOOO, I’M RUSTY!” and “Flair is playing bingo down in Florida.” Are just a few that get paused upon before the camera focuses in on the Xtreme Zone announce team.

Speaks:
Well hello folks and we’re back here in the ExWA arena getting you ready for what promises to be another great edition of Xtreme Zone.

Fury:
Yes indeed I can’t wait to see Reaper in action, you know we haven’t seen a lot of him here since he was traded.

Speaks:
Well maybe tonight will be his night to show these fans why he is so well known for his hardcore style.

Fury:
Maybe, and don’t forget our big main event tonight for the tag team titles.

Speaks:
How could I, Tiger and Pohatu vs. Gomez and this mysterious Draven character. This match is big, and not only for the fans it has some serious ramifications for those involved as well.

Fury:
Indeed it does. Obviously if Pohatu and Tiger Win they get the tag team championships but more importantly if Gomez and Draven lose, then they relinquish their spots in our Xtreme Zone main Event at Quest for Gold.

Speaks:
Yes you heard him right, if Gomez and Draven lose then they are out if the Golden Title picture. This match is not good for them, they have everything to lose whereas Nature has everything to gain, the stakes of this match are very high for both sides.

Fury:
Oh yes, and speaking of Gomez we have some exclusive footage from the new ExWA DVD, B.A.H!...The Gomez story; bumps, anger and hardcore.

The Xtreme Vision whirrs into life as the scene fades to a video preview.

The cameras come to life in what appears to be a small village, the sky is a pale blue and the sun shines hazily through the cold winter air. The cameras look around and see several small houses situated around a square, which in the centre has a memorial standing carved from dull grey granite. In the background the chime of a church bell can be heard resonating and as the sun glints off the rooftops Senor Gomez emerges from behind the camera. He is wearing a jacket and as he breaths white vapour emerges form his mouth due to the cold temperature. Gomez rubs his hands together and then speaks.

Gomez:
Well you wanted to see where I came from, well this is it. Now come on I’ll take you to a place that is very dear to me.

Gomez pulls some keys out from his pocket and pushes the button on a remote. A nearby Peugeot 306 unlocks with a bleep and Gomez beckons to the camera.

Gomez:
Come on, I’m going to take you for a ride.

Gomez jumps in the car and the camera fades out as he drives off.

It fades back in as the car swerves into a car park, the car engine rumbles slightly before it falls silent. Gomez steps out of the car and looks around. The car park has a concrete road on one side of it and verging on the edge of that more houses can be seen. And on the other side of the car park lies green grass, the dew sparkles on it in the sunlight as the camera looks around further. Then a Building comes into shot and Gomez points at a sign.

The camera focuses in on it.

“Budehaven Sports & Community Hall.”

Gomez smiles.

Gomez:
Well this is it, this is where it all began. The old hallowed grounds of the former BWF…

Gomez starts walking, then he turns back to the camera.

Gomez:
Well come on, we’re going inside.

Gomez walks down a path and as he does so he looks toward a field on the right and smiles.

Gomez:
I had some good times here.

Gomez reaches a glass double door and he opens and walks through, he enters reception then carries on through the door into a small hall, he walks to the centre and looks around.

Gomez:
Well here it is, this is the very spot where I started my career. This is where I captured my very first championship, this is where I had many a great match. But more importantly this is where my love for this business began. Coming back here it puts a lot of things into perspective for me. You know coming back to my roots just shows me how far I’ve come and just what I have been through to get where I am today…..

The cameras fade out as the clip ends on the Xtreme Vision.

Fury:
Hey I was watching that.

Speaks:
Well if you want to see the rest of it you’ll just have to go buy the DVD like everyone else.

Fury:
I guess so, well folks that DVD can be purchased on ExWA.com along with the rest of the merchandise of all of your favourite ExWA superstars.

The cameras fade out from the announce team and then fade in on the backstage area. As they do so it comes into focus that Gomez is lifting weights and there is a crowd pop. Gomez carries on with a few lifts until a dark shadow is cast across him.

Gomez stops lifting the weights and looks up; a look of curiosity comes across his face.

Gomez:
What do you want?

The camera turns around revealing none other than Rusty, who has a large grin on his face.

Rusty:
Holla, if ya Rusty!.

Gomez frowns and looks at rusty wondering what an earth he is on about.

Gomez:
Err OK, was that it or did you have something else to say, and if it’s ‘I is Rusty. Safe.’ Then save your breath.

Rusty looks slightly puzzled and he scratches his head as if he is trying to remember what he wanted to say.

Gomez:
Do you even know what you came in here to tell me?

Rusty looks frustrated then all of a sudden his faces lights up as he proclaims.

Rusty:
Steinbeck is the king of jpbbres!

Gomez rolls his eyes.

Gomez:
Was that it, I knew that a long time ago.

A look of anger comes across Rusty’s face and he beats his chest before yelling out.

Rusty:
Pffftftftft Steinbeck has AIDS!

Gomez:
What in the hell are you on about now?

Rusty looks even angrier, he turns and pushes several pictures on the wall out of line before storming out the door and yelling.

Rusty:
I am the speradre of the dizeascewq!

Gomez shakes his head.

Gomez:
That kid certainly dose have some issues.

[gomez]

Gomez goes back to lifting weights again but before he has much of a chance there is a knock at the door. Gomez puts the weights down and sits up.

Gomez:
For god’s sake what is this, can’t a guy train in peace, yeah all right come in.

The door swings open and the dark figure known as Draven paces into the room.

Gomez:
You?! I thought of all people you would know that I would be training for our match tonight, why aren’t you doing the same thing?

Draven:
I need not train for I am already prepared for such a match, the darkness within me has strengthened me far more than any gym equipment ever could.

Gomez:
Err yeah, that’s good for you…. I see you’ve got the old greasy black hair and white face paint look down to a tee, and I hear you already have flocks of fans following you and that budgie on your shoulder. But believe it or not I like to train for my match the old fashioned way, with hard work, both physically and mentally. So if you don’t mind I’d like to get back to that.

Draven:
Your training is futile for we shall not lose.

Gomez:
You’re right WE won’t lose as long as YOU don’t drop the ball out there. I have no intention of losing this match and that is why I’m trying to prepare for it. The last time I was in a match with one of these men I didn’t prepare enough and you know what he beat me, now that was no one else’s fault but my own but I tell you I do not plan to make that mistake again. I won’t underestimate anyone not even you Draven. *Gomez looks at Draven. * Yeah that’s right I’m watching you Draven because I know you’re new around here and I must admit it was kind of you to step up and be my partner. But somehow I think it was a little too kind of you, I don’t trust you Draven and I’ve got my eye on you. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you teaming up with Brian Stinberg a man that you know, how shall I say this? Oh let’s just say that we don’t see eye to eye. So Draven maybe I’m judging you wrongly but why the hell should I like this situation, I’m tagging with a man I barely know against a well established tag team, with my chance at the golden championship on the line. Nature would be hard enough for any tag team to face let alone one that was thrown together as a last resort, so excuse me for training in an effort to ensure I don’t lose. I don’t know about you but I have worked to hard and come to far to let my chance at the big one slip away. And that is why I’m going to make sure this time I go out there and give one hundred and ten percent whether you’re there or not. Because I am not going to be denied this time, I never received my opportunity in JWA to shine and maybe in a way I didn’t deserve it, but now… NOW a lot of people have put a lot of faith into me and have given me an opportunity. And that is why I will not let myself or them down, and neither Nature nor the now nor even YOU can stop me because I will not be denied.

Gomez gets up from his bench and stares deeply at Draven…<br>
Gomez:
Now if you don’t mind I have some fans to address. *Crowd Pop. *

Gomez shoves past Draven and then marches out the door leaving Draven and his budgie standing in the centre of the room in shock.


Back in the ExWA arena.

Fury:
What was all that about?

Speaks:
I don’t know but if Gomez and Draven aren’t on the same page, they could lose everything.

Fury:
Guess we better get ready to crown new Tag Team Champions then.

Speaks:
I wouldn’t be too sure about that; Gomez has been in tougher situations than this.

Fury:
Yeah but he’s no tag team specialist is he.

Speaks:
You raise a good point there but I’m sure he can adapt, he has to he has no other choice.

Fury:
Well if I’m honest I hope he doesn’t win, he doesn’t deserve the golden title belt, that belt belongs to tiger.

Speaks:
Do you have something against Gomez?

Fury:
Yes, in fact I do. Gomez is a fool plain and simple.

Speaks:
I’d watch what you say, you never know who’s listening

Fury:
Do you think I car…

Before Fury can finish the lights in the arena dim to darkness and then begin to strobe and flash through shades of red, green and blue as Ace Of Spades blasts out over the arena PA system.

Fury:
Jesus! ...

Speaks:
Oh I’d say business is about to pick up.

Senor Gomez steps out onto the ramp way and the crowd explode into cheering, as the husky voice of Lemmy Kilmister echoes across the arena.

www.cripplercrossface.com/banned/raw/310105/006.jpg[/img]

Gomez strides down the ramp looking left and right at the masses of fans and as he does so he taps his fist on his chest then raises his arm into the air saluting the fans. He carries on down to ringside and marches up the ring steps and climbs onto the apron; he then mounts the turnbuckle and again raises his arm high into the air as a gesture of respect to the fans and salutes them. Gomez stops there for a moment absorbing the energy in the atmosphere before hopping down off the turnbuckle and stepping through the ring ropes. He walks over to Fred Elliot and retrieves a microphone after which he then paces up and down the ring before raising the microphone to his mouth.[/center]

[gomez]

Gomez attempts to speak but before he can continue the fans overwhelm him with cheering. Gomez lowers the microphone and then taps his fist on his chest before raising it to the fans; he looks around at them for a moment then eventually raises the microphone to his mouth for a second attempt.

Gomez:
Well here I am in the ExWA …. On Xtreme Zone, right here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. *Cheap Crowd pop. * *Gomez smiles. * Ah it still works, well here I am booked in a match on Xtreme Zone and I have to say my back is up against the wall. The odds are stacked against me once again, but hey you know me i don’t give a damn about any odds, if I was booked in a damn handicap match against nature I’d still go out there and fight with all I’ve got because I am a fighter not a quitter. Now not only do I have to watch Tiger and Pohatu in this match I have to be weary of my partner Draven. *Mixed reaction from the crowd. * But I digress the reason I came out here was to thank you people…. Because you people are the ones who voted me as the greatest Extreme 24/7 champion and you people are the ones that believed in me when I faced Reaper. So for that I thank you. *Crowd Pop* And because you people believe in me I will not let you down I’m not going to win any title by having management give it to me at least not voluntarily. *Gomez’s tosses the universal tag championship to the floor. * What was this some kind of sick plot you had Masters one that would increase ratings? Giving me this belt to try and force me to tag with a man that you knew I didn’t like. Well Masters looks like your plan backfired because the OAP Flair is gone and now I still have a chance at the Golden championship. Well Masters I will not squander this opportunity I will fight through whatever you through at me and I will earn my way to that championship. *Crowd cheer. * Because these people want to see a new golden champion... called SENOR GOMEZ! *Loud crowd pop* And who am I to argue with what the people want. So Masters throw Nature at me add another hurdle, add another obstacle you’re only prolonging the inevitable.

Gomez looks around the arena, then looks to the announce table.

Gomez:
So someone doesn’t like me up there? I’d be careful Fury you don’t want to end up like Dawe.

*Back at the announce table. *

Fury:
What the? How’d he know?

Speaks:
I told you word spreads fast.

Fury:
God damn you Speaks.

*Back in the ring Gomez begins to talk again. *

Gomez:
Well Fury to be perfectly honest I couldn’t care what you think, just like I couldn’t care what a certain superstar thinks, that being Brian Stinberg. Stinberg did you think you could intimidate me with the messages you left on my answer machine. For god’s sake man I don’t fear Reaper, Corpse, Virus, Big Show, Vegito and hell everyone in the ExWA locker room, what makes you think I’d fear a washed up jobber like yourself. Stinberg I have more important fish to fry than you but if you even think about getting involved in my match I won’t hesitate to beat your sorry ass and send you flying over that top rope all the way back to the J.O.B. Squad you love so much. The only people I am concerned with are Tiger and Pohatu. *Gomez pauses and mops his brow. * Firstly the Tiger yes I’ll admit you did beat me in the JWA, for the simple reason that I underestimated you. But Tiger I learnt from that mistake and I will not underestimate you again, I saw you in that elimination chamber and I have to admit you have earned my respect. But Tiger even though I respect you it doesn’t mean I won’t destroy you because tiger I respected reaper and look what I did to him, I sent him to the hospital. Tiger it is nothing personal it’s just business, I’m on a path and you are just a gate I have to go through to get there. So tiger I wish you luck because this time unlike the last occasion we met I am prepared. I am ready for you and I will fight you with everything I have. And if somehow you do beat me well then I will be the first to congratulate you, I will personally raise you and Pohatu’s hands in victory. For if I give it my best and I lose well than I can say without a shadow of a doubt that there is no shame in losing. However Tiger remember this, last time you hadn’t seen all I was capable of, now that you have are you sure you still want to face me. Somehow I think you do and I commend you for it, but like I told reaper be wary of me for once I am forced to go to that dark place inside myself I’m not accountable for what I do. Remove the keystone and the damn within me will burst and the tide of emotion will flow and rip right through you for once they begin to flow nothing can stop them. Tiger I don’t expect facing you to be an easy challenge and nor do I expect Pohatu to be a push over either. Pohatu a man I know little about, all I know is that you are a tremendous athlete and that I have seen you beat a lot of outstanding people. Including I believe tiger, well I hope there is nothing going on between you there we wouldn’t want your team to be falling out now would we. Well Pohatu I can safely say that I am looking forward to wrestling against you a man who I have never faced before it should be an interesting challenge. I hope you give me everything you have; after all I wouldn’t want you to sell yourself short. I want everything you have and then some, because I want you to test me Pohatu. Although I have never faced you before and you have not won many singles titles that I know of however I do know that you are one hell of a wrestler in the tag team division, it could be considered your specialty. Whereas I am not the perfect tag team expert I consider myself more of a singles competitor, so in that respect you have the edge over me and that is why Pohatu I am not going to get complacent with you either because complacency costs you the match, it only takes three seconds for it to all be over but those are three seconds I intend to avoid. But in the same respect I tell you this I may not be a veteran tag team expert but Pohatu I warn you now do not underestimate me, I can lock the Crossface in from anywhere at any time. And once it’s locked you WILL TAP OUT!

Suddenly the Numb/Encore by Linkin' Park feat. Jay-Z blasts out over the arena speakers and the lights begin to dim. A silhouetted figure appears in the entryway, he throws his arms up into the crucifix position and Gomez looks at the stage way in shock as Pohatu emerges.

Fury:
Pohatu?!

Speaks:
It could start early here, it may not last till tonight!

Pohatu grins a bit and the crowd burst into cheers as he struts down the ramp way toward the ring.





Pohatu leaps up onto the ring apron looks toward the crowd for a moment, and then jumps over the ropes into the ring. He paces around the canvas for a few moments and as he does so Gomez looks at Pohatu and stares at him with curiosity for a moment then raises the microphone to his mouth.

Gomez:
Well this is the infamous Pohatu well I must say you have some balls to come out here…….. I respect that.

Gomez extends his hand toward Pohatu in a show of respect much to the surprise of everyone in the arena. Even more surprisingly Pohatu grabs Gomez’s hand and shakes it.

www.cripplercrossface.com/banned/raw/070205/058.jpg[/img]

The two shake for a moment then Gomez pulls Pohatu sharply towards him and looks him in the eye.

Gomez:
I respect you but that makes no difference in deciding your fate you will tap out because…….

STRUGGLE IS OPTIONAL……. PAIN IS INEVITABLE…..

(Crowd join in)

YOU WERE WARNED!

Gomez tosses the microphone to the floor with a thud and the two of them are left staring each other down in the centre of the ring as Xtreme Zone fades to a commercial break.

[ricflair]

*The Camera's come to life as Ric flair can be seen just coming out of the shower*

Flair: I'm walking on sun shine ohhhh ohh ohhh. God it's stuffy in here where's the guys when i need them to open the damn window

*Flair walks over to the windown and opens it up as he feels a sudden chill he decides to shut it once again.*

Flair: That's odd

*The lights begin to flicker on and off as flair starts to get a bit worried he races for his bedroom and gets dressed locking the door behind himself*

Flair: Whoooo, haha now no-one can get it in

*The room begins to come over will a heavy chill as ric decides to put a jumper on the chill gets worse and the windows jump open as if by magic, flair steps backwards to keep away from the strange happenings*

Flair: I'm the Nature boy, you can't hurt me whoooooo, yeah you can't hurt me i can look at death and spit in the face i'm ready come out

*Flair now very worried lifts up a kicken knife and is ready to fend off any enemies*

Flair: COME ON!

*The breeze gets tighter on flair as he can barely move*

Flair: I'M WAITING, COME ON!

*A crow appears at the window and attacks flair on the hand*

Flair: Ouch you son of a b!tch

*Flair cuts the crow into two and the crow vanishes from sight*

Flair: Did i imagine that?

*Flair still stiff and unable to move waits as the wind lowers slightly*

Mysterious Voice: It's Time!, Flair your time is up!

*Just at that moment a spear comes hartiling through the air catching flair in the throat*

Mysterious Voice: Nighty Night Flair!

*The Mysterious man walks closer*

Flair: Niighty niiight

*Flair falls to the ground as the mysterious man makes sure flair is dead. He then removes the spear and runs straight into flair sucking out flair knowledge and experience to his own extent*

Mysterious Voice: I thank you very much Mr Flair but like i said your time is up and it's the time Of the Draven to begin!

*The crow re-appears unharmed onto Draven's shoulder*

Draven: Flair, did you actually think my crow would be defeated so easily tut tut flair but i guess it's sweet dreams for you!

*Draven looks around at the room looking for his ExWA Universal Tag Team Championship*

Draven: Where's that bloody championship belt

*Draven rams open the draws and finally finds the tag team championship and he uses his physic powers to change the ric flair name on the championship belt to Draven making sure that no-body suspected a thing Draven made a quick exit*

Draven: Sweet Dreams flair or should i say sweet dreams in hell!

*on that moment Draven lights a match and drops it on the ground as Draven walks through the wall of the house*

Draven: Flair, you will always fear the DRAVEN!

*The house begins to catch fire as Draven sticks a picture of himself on the side of flair's house*



*The scene falls to darkness as Draven taps the ground with his heel and a stairway opens up*

Draven: So long flair, so long!

*Draven walks down the stairway as he laughs at what he has just done to the nature boy in the closing seconds of sight the stairway shuts closed and the fire brigade come to put the fire out on flair's house before it is too late*

*On the Picture of Draven there is a message: Here Remains the sould of Rric flair, may the demons rot his carkass right to hell*

*The scene falls to black*

[ricflair]

*The camera's begin to lighten up as the lifeless figure walks slowly into what can only be described
as a torture chamber; damp, wet and so very dull. Draven appears from the shadows, the fire literally oozing from his mouth as he meets up with some associates from the past including the seven brothers of hell*

Draven: The task is complete, Ric flair is no more and the conquering of Xtreme Zone is under way

A brother: Don't get to confident you have to get through Nature this week and your teaming with Senor Gomez. How can you be sure this man can be trusted?

Draven: Oh senor gomez knows the matter in hand and he knows what will happen if he tries to screw me over. He realises the pain and torment he will sustain and he will understand that i shall never take himv lightly and i will never be defeated because for one simple reason i am the draven and i am the one that takes pain and suffering to the next level.

A Brother: Just be prepared for the major test in the Universal tag team title match and be ready to beat down the enemy just a scolding dog!

Draven: I understand, but now i must go i have many things i must do before the match

*Draven leaves the brothers as he walks down in the dungeons of the old laboratory where he walks closer to the screen*

Draven: This week i am ready for my most challenging task yet and i am more than confident that my foes will never be ready in time for the match. Pohatu and The Tiger of Nature may have stood a chance against my former self since i was weak and yet i still managed to win the golden championship and i am still holding the universal tag team championship, makes you think doesn't it!

*Draven gives a cold stare at the camera behind him*

Draven: If when i was the nature boy i could defeat you then, well then in my mind i can defeat you this time with no problems. Iit makes me feel sick the way you have your little unity but that will come to an end when me and senor gomez make you loose this match not by pinfall or submission but by knockout our brute force combined will show you the fall down and we will show you exactly why we are Universal Tag Team champions.

That Brings me onto my next point Senor Gomez is not the partner i wanted but i guess to get his career off the ground he needed the very best break and well face it, i am the very best break for him to have. But Gomez don't think for one second that i actually like hell i don't even need you to beat Nature i could do it single handedly and still walk out champion and you know it!

*Draven brings himself back to reality for a few moments*

Draven: Senor gomez me and you may not like each other very much but we have to work together in this match and shut the running ego's of Nature and i know you want to win this match because we both want the same thing and that is to be going to Quest For Gold and to both be in line for gold along with a third curtain superstar who thinks he is going to get a lucky break and i can asure him that will not happen.

So back onto the matter of the universal tag team championships now Tiger and Pohatu you shouldn't have even been given this title match because basicly you don't deserve a shot and i will make sure that you never come for a return match and pohatu you seem to think that your not scared of me well trust me via the end of this match you will be because i will deliver my special gift to you the draven tamer and i will make sure that i put you both out of action for good and if that isn't enough i will suck out your soul's with the kiss of death. You know being without a soul can be such a lonely place and well i'd rather be living than dead the transformation was a success but one major factor was left out and that is that flair was already on the verge of death anyway and i will take your souls and use them to my advantage in this match

*Draven walks through the wall to a video preview of the match to come. It shows the entrance of Draven then flair and finally of Nature it shows Draven and gomez getting an early advantage early on but then Nature turning the match around in their favour and then finally me and Senor Gomez will get that one move to take the gold back and to win this match and head straight to quest for gold and the falling out of nature to end their title hopes of ever becoming champions and of ever defeating senor gomez and draven*

Draven: You see Nature you will never be good enough to get the win because me and senor gomez will always be one step ahead of you, it's a known fact that when a tag team goes under they can never regain the lust for success and that is our major advantage over you like it or hate it we will show you the path of a loss and when it happens i hope that you will wake up straight in hell and smell the undead demon dogs with their saliva dripping off of their mouths and they will be ready to kill you and remove your rotting carkasses from the remainder of hell.

*Draven gets a short sadistic smile*

Draven: I'll see you at xtreme zone remember to book a good hospital since your going to need it!

*Draven walks into the wall and vanishes as the camera's fade to black the screeen begins to show writing show xtreme Zone the final wait!*

*The camera's die down*

[ricflair]

*The PA system comes to life as the crow of Draven can be seen flying through the arena as the crowd feel a chill sweet dreams by marilyn msnson hits as Draven is waiting for the reaction of the crowd. The name of Draven hits the Pa system which then shows the letter 'D' in gold as the fans have a mixed reaction. One fan boo's very loudly but the crow goes over and deals with that by pecking out the fans eyes. Draven walks down the walkway as the pyro is released on the walkway draven keeps his eyes on the ring and he finally enters as more pyro is released*

Draven: This week marks the debut of Draven and this week will be the most horrific start of Xtreme Zone and for Nature this week it will be their final match before they have their final resting place in the depths of hell

*Draven looks at that fan with his crow pecking away*

Draven: Nature take a look at a classic example of what happens to people when they disobey me, they get punished and they get beat down but do i need to do the beaten? NO! My trusty crow gets the job done.

*The crowd cheer at Nature's team being heard*

Draven: I know you like those pretty boys but being pretty doesn't win you matches the wrestling skill that i have will win me this match so Tiger, pohatu hit the road because the universal tag team champions aren't here to play, we're here for a war and a war is what we shall give you just face the fact that my combination of wrestling moves and ability will out shine you both and well i guess i can say this... Thanks for the win because i already have it in the bag and like i used to say in my former self whoooooo! because i am going to be running all over your ass

*The fans are not too happy with Draven at this point*

Draven: I don't care what you fans have to say because you all know that nature do not stand a chance on xtreme zone like the name says xtreme and i will show nature why they are not xtreme enough to make it on this show. They should just go to the second rate show of Action Zone where you belong

Tiger on Xtreme zone this week the eye of the tiger won't be able to help you because compared to me you will look like a pussy cat when i make sure that i have scared the life out of you then i will hit the Draven Tamer on you and then i will make sure that i pick up the 1.2.3 there is one place to be nature and that is Xtreme Zone for an ass royal beat down i'll see you both there

*The Pa system comes back to life as Draven vanishes from sight*

*The camera's flair back up in the backstage area of Draven's locker room where he can be seen with his manager Miss Draven Tamer*

Miss Tamer: Draven how are you feeling for this title match afterall you have taken out flair

Draven: Well you know i'm pumped and excited and i will get the win here tonight and it doesn't matter what the critics say because at the end of the day we know Nature very well with their style and ability but they do not know us one bit and that is our main advantage

Miss Tamer: Well you'd better win out there, remember what's at stake!

Draven: I know i'm not stupid i will win this match with gomez and then at the pay-per-view of quest for gold i will make sure gomez understands who the power man of the team is ... ME! and he will see me get the victory whether i pin him or the other guy it doesn't make a difference to me a wins a win no matter how i get it

Miss Tamer: Ok.. all i'm saying is be careful out there and make sure that you kick some ass because i only manage winners not losers so you had better get the job done soon

Draven: Hey i know the deal i go out there in front of a sold out audience and get the win like i said i will and i will be on the way fro the golden championship yet again it's destiny, it's fate, it's what i'm all about so miss tamer realise this nature will realise what the dark part of the nature is because it's not all sunny skies now is it?! we both know that it isn't and soon so will Nature i'll make sure of that

Miss Tamer: I believe you just remember you need to shed the ring rust and get back to fighting ways here in the ExWA because if you don't people are going to think your a joke and that cannot happen if your to make a name for yourself and this match is the turning point in the ExWA this is the time where you show the world how the wrestling is performed and you show that audience sports entertainment at it's best

Draven: I will guarenteed. You know there's one thing that Flair actually taught me.

Miss Tamer: What's that??

Draven: He taught me that you stop at nothing to get the win and that is what i will do i will not quit however bad it gets i will be victorious and i will make sure that nature feel my pain and suffering.

Miss Tamer: I'm sure that they will.

Draven: Well i have one final message for Nature 'Fear the name of 'DDDDDRRRAAVVVEENNNN'



*Draven kisses Miss tamer and leaves the scene through a teleportation tunnel*

*End of scene*

OOC- i hope this rp was ok i know i'm lacking the creativity at the moment i hope that'll improve*

['The Lightning' Pohatu]

(OOC: and now, we present to you, a Co-Production of Nature…)

X-tremeZone comes back after a short commercial break only to find the arena in darkness. The sound of Fans yelling is rudely interrupted by a huge bang over the PA system. Suddenly, rapid lightning bolts hit each of the four turnbuckles followed by a flash that blinds every one in the arena. The lights come back to life and the fans can see Pohatu in the ring. The only difference now is that the ring mat is now black with huge lightning bolts on it. There are two giant metal scrap thunderbolts on both sides of the ring. In the middle of the thunderbolts hangs a large plasma screen TV. There was also two Steel chairs facing each other. Brigades of cheers storm the arena. Pohatu gives a grin and begins to speak.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, My Lightning Rods, Followers of Nature! I would like to introduce to you, The first time in ExWA History, THE MOST ELECTRIFYING SHOW ON XZ, THE THUNDER REEL! This will be the best show, brought to you live at the beginning of every Extreme Zone Show! So How are My Lightning Rods?!?”

The crowd Cheered for Pohatu and the sight of the new show. Pohatu grin and new that it would be an interesting show.

“Now being that this is our very first show, I will make sure that it starts off with a bang. Seeing that one of my biggest XZ Matches is tonight, we might as well base our show on that. What do you guys think?”

The crowed cheered and Pohatu knew that they were eager to see that match.

“Just as I predicted, now I have some footage that you guys might want to see. First let me introduce to you the Thundervision 5000! Now, ROLL THE FOOTAGE, SPARKPLUGS!”<br>
A clip appeared on the plasma screen. It was Ric Flair and Johnny Magnum at the Turmoil. It showed Ric and Johnny win the titles. The clip ended and there was a mix of cheers and boos in the arena. Pohatu put is hand over his eyebrows as if he was looking for something.

“Well I don’t see them here…In fact both of them quit…TT and I have to fight a wrestler that I respect and his name is Senor Gomez”

A Gomez chant broke out and Pohatu looked down at the ground and nodded.

”Yes, He is a great wrestler ,but I have a feeling that he wont be that good tonight. On the other hand, we have to fight some new person that does not even deserve that title. So without any further a due, let me introduce that Sparkplug that we are fighting tonight, Draven!”

Sweet Dreams hits as the lights go dim and the crowd fall silent. Draven awaits as the lights flicker on and off and gold rushes along the stage leaving only the letter 'D' as red pyro shoots up and black shoots down. Draven walks onto the stage as the fans are silent. Draven dressed fully in black with the black and white make-up walks slowly down the ramp way as fire bolts are shot down onto the ramp way but Draven walks through them unaffected as the fans are relieved he continues to walk climbs into the ring via the second rope. He walks towards Pohatu and stands tall without saying a word. The lights come back to life and you can see Pohatu chuckling.

“Looking a little pale there, Sparkplug. Lighten up! After all your on the most electrifying show on XZ, The Thunder Reel!”

Draven began to speak in a flat toned voice.

“Why the hell am I here? Your wasting my time. Ask me some stupid questions so I can leave…”

Draven put his chin up and looked away as if he wasn’t paying attention.

“Sure thing, Sparkplug! How do you feel facing Nature for the Tag Titles when you don’t even deserve it?”

Draven frowned and looked down at Pohatu slowly.

”I deserve everything... Hell, they should just hand the Golden Championship to me.”

The crowed booed loudly ,but it was quickly interrupted by an odd feeling. The lights in the arena dim to darkness and then begin to strobe and flash through shades of red, green and blue. A burst of pyrotechnics discharge down the length of the ramp way as Ace Of Spades blasts out over the arena PA system. Senor Gomez steps out onto the ramp way and the crowd explode into cheering, as the husky voice of Lemmy Kilmister echoes across the arena. Gomez strides down the ramp looking left and right at the masses of fans and as he does so he taps his fist on his chest then raises his arm into the air saluting the fans. He carries on down to ringside and marches up the ring steps and climbs onto the apron; he then mounts the turnbuckle and again raises his arm high into the air as a gesture of respect to the fans and salutes them. As he does this, another burst of pyrotechnics explodes behind him along the length of the ring apron sending up plumes of sparkling debris. Gomez stops there for a moment absorbing the energy in the atmosphere before hopping down off the turnbuckle and stepping through the ring ropes. He walks over to Draven and looks in the eyes.

“You think you deserve the title? You have not done anything in this business. I’m a hardcore champ. I have done things that you couldn’t even dream about. If any body deserves these titles, it should be me. If you think your so good you, can try to get your own title. I’ll fight Nature by my self. It’s not like it will be any challenge.”

Pohatu quickly interrupted.

“Excuse Me? Did you just say that Nature is not a challenge? Well Gomez you and your friend here have another thing coming. Nature has had a rebirth, a renaissance some may say. So I would not be thinking so high of yourselves right now. After all Tiger has beaten you before and he will do it again.”

Gomez now had his attention on Pohatu.

“Wow big whoop. I will beat you guys any day at any time. So much for a team anyway…He has been complaining about how he wants a solo career. So I would close your mouth if I were you.”

“Or what will happen to me?”

Replied Pohatu acting sarcastically.

Gomez was just about to deliver a punch when suddenly Two feline eyes appear on the Xtreme Vision and the crowd erupts into cheers as "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor hits, the quick strums of the guitar leading the drums and tambourine into the song. TT appears at the top of the ramp, the crowd cheering even louder, black and orange Pyro shooting off to either side of him. TT is wearing an orange shirt with black stripes as well as orange pants with black stripes.

Rising' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive...

TT runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. He gets up and walks right in front of Gomez.

(TBC)

['The Lightning' Pohatu]

“Do you have a problem with Nature, Gomez?”

Before he could answer Draven butted in.

“This is a waste of my…”

“SHUT THE HELL UP”<br>
Yelled Pohatu, TT, and Gomez all at once.

Gomez started making circles around TT.

“Well well, Isn’t it Tiger… I didn’t even think you would show up for the match let alone come on this Talk Show.”

“Well, guess again. I’m here and Ill beat you tonight just like I did at my second match on JWA.”

Gomez and TT looked each other in the eyes. There had always been competition against the two. There eyes where filled with hate. Gomez was sick of waiting, and delivered a Big Boot to TT knocking him to the ground hard. Pohatu was about to strike at Gomez but out of nowhere Draven clotheslined Pohatu to the ground. Both, TT and Pohatu appeared to be knocked out. Gomez and Draven looked at each other not knowing what to say. Thinking that they had got Nature something odd happened. A vicious growl of a wild cat rocks the Arena. The entrance of Getting Away With Murder starts up over the speaker system, the lights dim down ever so slightly. A figure emerges at the top of the ramp, only his silhouette being able to be seen. He starts to run down the ramp and slides into the ring. The lights come back on and Draven and Gomez are face to face with a dark mean face. He performs the Dropsault on Draven. Gomez looks amazed at the height of the strangers jump. The stranger takes no mercy and quickly performs the Stinger Splash on Gomez. He quickly performs a T-Bone Suplex After that sending Gomez head to the mat. TT and Pohatu stands up and the three standing men look at each other, nodding to each other what they will do to the downed people in the ring. TT goes over to Gomez and stands him up, he takes a microphone and gets in his face.

“Gomez, you shouldn’t even be talking, the only way you even got that tag belt is from Mental Case quitting, hell I don’t even know what to say, we aren’t facing the REAL tag champs so here’s your fare well present until Xtreme Zone.

TT goes to land a big right but Gomez blocks it and lands a right of his own. They begin slugging each other until TT ducks a big right from Gomez and when he turned around there was a sickening pop. The sound of Boot meeting chin is echoed through the arena as Gomez falls to the ground limp. TT pushes Gomez out of the ring and goes over to Draven and helps Pohatu hold him up. TT gives Panther the microphone and Panther gets in Draven’s face.

“I am the Panther! The newest member of Nature. This same exact thing will happen tonight and I promise that you and Gomez will not retain the title and that the boys of Nature bring home the gold and keep you boys out of the hunt for the Golden Championship.”

The crowd give a huge pop to Panther and Draven tries to struggle out of TT and Pohatu’s hold but instead Panther clocks Draven upside the head with the microphone and Pohatu and Tiger rolls Draven out of the ring. Pohatu takes his stool and sits down, taking the microphone and looking at the outside of the ring.

“Well Sparkplugs, are you just going to sit there and look stupid or are you going to re-organize this setup and get Panther a stool?”

Some ring techs enter the ring to organize the props as another one rolls in a stool. Panther takes the stool and sits as TT takes the original stool. Pretty soon the techs are done and we are able to continue the Thunder Reel

“First off, the question on everyone’s mind is--”

“hey hey hey! What about me? I’m Needle’s Idol of the week! I’m more important than this Reel or this match!”<br>
The camera pans from the situation in the ring to a man standing on the stage, it’s Rusty looking pissed. TT turns around and looks at Rusty

“More important than this match? Heh, you wanna know what I think of you--”

“IT DOES’T--”<br>
“Yes, it does matter what I think, you butt raping anal monkey. I think you need to calm your ass down and leave before I make you leave.”

“How you going to do that? I defeated Ric Flair! You couldn’t even defeat Shadow.”<br>
“Simple, turn around.”

Rusty turns and sees a man who is bigger than him. The man grabs Rusty and brings him into the back, Rusty kicking and screaming all of the way. The crowd laughs as all of this is going on, before focusing their attention back onto the Thunder Reel.

“Hopefully we can FINALLY begin this thing. TT, what was with you showing all of those meetings about you not wanting to tag team anymore?”

“I just wanted to go after my own dream, that dream is to hold a World Title. I’ve had that dream since I was very little, and I intend to make it happen.”

“Okay, next, possibly one of the burning questions…what is this change you speak of?”

“Heh I’ve been waiting this entire time for you to ask me that. There’s only one thing that I can do, instead of being The Tiger, a regular normal everyday Tiger, I will become…”

The lights cut out and some people in the crowd scream a bit, obviously freaked out by how fast the lights had cut off. The lights stay off however and the fans begin to wonder before the Xtreme Vision fades on and it shows two tigers fighting. The tigers circle each other and the crowd can plainly see that one of them is white. In a flash they leap at each other, hitting each other with their clawed paws, as if they were boxing. Roars are heard as the two tigers take big swipes at each other. They soon back away from each other and circle, obviously trying to decide how to go for the kill. The white one charges in and the orange one tries to dodge but is still caught in a Death Grip on the back of the neck. The orange one falls limp and the white one looks at the camera and lets out a big roar. The lights fade back on at TT stands there, in a white shirt with black stripes, his pants went from orange to white as well. The crowd cheers and the Thunder Reel continues

“Introducing the new, and improved Tiger”

The crowd is shocked, what has changed other than his clothes?

“I hate to break it to you bud…but nothing has change, just your clothes and your name, all though I don’t think White Tiger will make good initials…WT?

“Heh, people can still refer to me as TT. As for what has changed, a white tiger is a rare animal, and winning the Golden Championship, is rare. My attitude has changed, I’ll be more aggressive, and I will do everything to send my message”

“Well anyway. So, TT, if we win this match, we will keep two very capable away from my dream, as well as hold the tag belts once again, how will this effect what you will do in this match?”

“Everything I will do will be to win, I am one of the fastest people in that match and I will use my speed and agility to win it, as well as, of course, great team work”

“How well are we going to work together, we didn’t do too well in the Holy shit TLC match and lost”

“We’re back to our JWA glory, and even better. Gomez and Draven don’t stand a chance, as you just saw. I’ve been training hard for this match and I don’t intend to lose, the Universal Tag Team Championship is going to be around our waist and after that, I don’t care who I have to beat in order to become Golden Champion, all I know is Draven and Gomez will be out, they are formidable foes, I’ll give them that, but after Xtreme Zone, I won’t have worry about it. because you and me will take them and that’ll be it for their hopes for the ExWA Golden Championship”

“How about if we have to face each other for the Golden Championship? Will we see a repeat of what we saw for the Extreme 24/7 Championship?”

“Pohatu, you’re a great competitor, but I will never lose to you again, this is my time, and if it comes down to me or you, I will give all that I am, and whoever wins will go on. You and me Pohatu, if it’s for the Golden Championship, the match will be for Nature, and win or lose, it will be a great match.”

”Well, that’s a wrap. See all you Sparkplugs later!”

With that, the lights shut off again, turning back on a few minutes later with the ring being empty.
