The two big screens turned off, the camers turning their attention back to Pohatu, who was still sitting on his stool, though he looked like he was close to being sick. The camera panned around to look out at the audience, showing that they were looking about the same, some people running from their seats to the exits, holding their hands over their mouthes. The cameras slowly came back to Pohatu, who had moved off the stool and was now leaning against the southern set of ropes, his eyes closed. The cruiserweight took a few deep breathes before raising the microphone up to his lips again.
Pohatu: Troy...if I was able to come back from a beating like that...I think it’s pretty safe to say I’m one of the best superstars there is. You said that the last time I achieved true singles glory was when I faced The Tiger for the Extreme 24/7 Championship? Wrong. The last time I achieved true singles competition glory was when I kicked that jobber, Tony Lee’s, butt from one side of a Hell in a Cell to the other and won the Championship Wrestling Association’s World Title. If I remember correctly, you faced Shane Diamond in a defense for your Undisputed Title, Diamond having been fresh from ExtremeZone. What happened? He kicked your butt. Then Shane Diamond lost to Triple D, and Triple D lost to Virus. What’s your excuse, Troy? Exactly, you have none.
The audience was giving a mixed reaction to this, some of them being avid nWo followers, others being hardcore Nature fans. Pohatu nodded his thanks in the direction of the Nature fans then walked back across the ring, sitting back down on the stool he had been sitting on before and raised the microphone up to his lips again.
Pohatu: But since this is the Thunder Reel, I can’t just focus on myself. Panther, Tiger, get your butts out here!
The infamous guitar riffs that are the opening of Welcome to the Jungle was heard as the speaker system turned on. Every head in the audience turned torward the entrance, all the murmuring coming to cease as they heard the song.
Oh my God...
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!
Yellow sparks exploded on one side of the entrance stage as orange and black ones exploded on the other side, black sparks shooting out of the pyros all along the ramp. Green sparks were raining down from the Xtreme Vision and were shooting out of the ring posts, the crowd cheering as all of this was happening.
Fred Elliot: Coming down to the ring at this time being accompanied by Pulse, at a combined weight of 430 pounds, 'The Midnight Hunter' Panther, and The 'King of the Cage' TIGER...NAAAATURE!
Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want, honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey, we got your disease
The crowd erupts when Panther and Tiger explode out of the entrance with a rush of black and orange pyro. They hype up the fans before meeting in the center of the stage, head butting each other before charging down the ramp close to the fans, the fans doing every thing they can to pat them on the back. Tiger and Panther slide under the ropes and run to the opposite turnbuckles, starting ‘TT’, ‘Panther’, and ‘Nature’ chants before crossing the ring and roar out to the crowd before jumping off and meeting Pohatu in the center of the ring, exchanging some handshakes with their tag team partner. The two other cruiserweights then pulled up two other stools and sat down, grinning at each other. Pohatu made a motion with his hand and two more rings were thrown into the ring, Tiger and Panther catching them without a problem. The three cruiserweights exchanged a nod before The Tiger raised the microphone up to his lips.
The Tiger: Troy, you said that I’ve had no HaRdCoRe moments myself. So leap frogging OVER Demon and sending him THROUGH the cage to the outside isn’t considered HaRdCoRe? What about doing a Tiger Pounce from the TOP of a cage onto somebody down on the floor? I’ve survived quite a few brutal moments myself. You mentioned where I got Chokeslammed by Shadow TROUGH the Chamber, but you didn’t mention when Pohatu nailed the Lightning Strike from the top of the eighteen wheeler. You really need to check on your facts before you open that big mouth of your’s.
The audience cheered at this, obviously liking how The Tiger had told The Invincible off at that one. The Panther nodded then raised his microphone
The Panther: And what do you mean I have no ties to Nature, Troy? I trained with Pohatu and The Tiger here between their transition of JWA to ExWA. Like Tiger said, look into your facts before you open that mouth of your's.
The audience cheered more, starting to feel the climax of the promo closing in.
Pohatu: Reaper...Method Cobra...The Invincible. There's only one thing left that Nature has left to say to you.
Pohatu made a motion at The Tiger and Panther, the two nodding and raising their microphone up to their lips, speaking in unison with the crowd.
Just when you thought you were safe....
Mother Nature showed you you weren't!
The three members of Nature threw their microphone to the ground, the lights shutting off at that exact moment. When the lights turned on, they were gone, along with the Thunder Reel set up.
