{ scene one – get the ball rolling }

The scene opens up inside of the parking garage outside of the arena in Austin, Texas after the latest episode of Xplosion. Sean Lewis is shown walking out of the door… he steps out into the ramp and looks around… he notices Nero Phoenix starting to get into his car…

~Slug~
Nero!

Nero looks up as Sean starts to jog towards him… you know, that jog that you do to make it look like you’re in a hurry for something… but really you’re not moving any faster then a normal stride… erm… anyways… he gets to Nero… Nero looks a bit confused…

~Slug~
I wanted to talk to you bro.

~Nero~
About what… about how Johnny Chaos totally messed up our match?

~Slug~
Bitches to bitch things… end of story. Johnny Chaos is obviously worried about you.

~Nero~
He damn well should be… look at how he beat me for the fucking title!

~Slug~
I know man, I know… I saw it too, just like everyone else did. Don’t get me wrong… he used illegal drugs to defend the title against me… so don’t think for a second that I think Johnny Chaos is a deserving champion by any means. Just give him hell on Sunday in Nashville, and all will be back to balance in the EWE universe.

Nero laughs a little bit…

~Nero~
I’ll do what I can… why are you pulling for me? I thought you and Ashlocke were circle jerk buddies or something like that… shouldn’t you be pulling for him?

~Slug~
As much as I love hand jobs… I don’t think I would let Ashlocke touch me that way, I mean… look at some of the ladies he has been with… or actually, grab a random 50, and I still wouldn’t trust any of them. I never said I’m pulling for you to win… I’m pulling for you to get the job done.

~Nero~
Ah I see… well, I’m pulling for you to get the job done against Dan Taylor…

Sean nods his head…

~Slug~
I’m hoping I can pull this one off as well. It’s hard to forget the last match we had… well, for him I bet it’s not… since I ruled his ass. Now I know Gino Knoxx came to the ring and all that jazz… but pound for pound… a 3 count is a 3 count. It’s not like Dan was pinning me when Gino attacked.

~Nero~
Taylor is just hype Slug… you got his card… what about that rumble match?

~Slug~
What about the rumble? Every man on the Xplosion roster has a chance at getting a title match at Wrestlemania against the EWE World Heavyweight Champion… who isn’t going to be busting balls for this one?

~Nero~
Good point…

~Slug~
My focus is on Taylor until the bell rings… then I have to go backstage, and pray to god that I don’t pick an early entry number… because after a six sides of steel match, I really don’t want to go out there as number one.

~Nero~
Well best of luck Mr. Lewis… Nashville is quite the drive, and I have a lot to think about until then. Best of luck in both your matches… and hopefully I see you at Wrestlemania Four…

~Slug~
So wait, you’re pulling for me in the rumble?

~Nero~
Pulling… no… I just want you to get the job done!

Sean extends a hand to Nero… they shake, but the shake quickly turns into one of those man hugs with patting on the back but with no crotch contact… Nero slides into his car and fires it up… He pulls away as Sean stands in the parking lot alone as the scene slowly fades away to black…

{ scene two – the home of TNA }

The scene opens up inside of the Minnesota apartment of Sean Lewis… where a lot of his promos have been cut over the years. Sean is shown walking down the hall in a pair of boxer shorts and a bath robe… he looks like he just woke up… he walks to the fridge and opens it up… he pulls out the milk carton and takes a huge chug… he swishes it in his mouth before looking at the expiration date… Sean then spits the milk out in the sink… Sean quickly grabs a Red Bull and sits down at the table…

~Slug~
Well here we are… the road to Wrestlemania is twisting and turning to an end. Final Destination is quite accurately named in my opinion. Come Sunday night… the Xplosion main event will be decided.

Sean cracks the Red Bull open and takes a little drink…

~Slug~
Now… a little trip down memory lane shows that I got beat by Johnny Chaos last month at the King of Xtreme… and a lot of people took a step back and pondered… “does the kid still have it?”… “do I still want to be a Sean Lewis fan?”… “Slug serves him right now…”… and so on… and I have to be honest… I sat down beside myself and wondered if the age of Sean Lewis in the EWE was over… but then I woke up… and look, point out another 20 year old in the industry that has done as much as me. We’re talking about Sean Lewis… we’re talking about the EWE… how can you not put those together?

Sean pauses and twirls the can a little bit…

~Slug~
Now I’ll admit that I have been slacking a tad bit… but damn it… it’s time to do something about that! Well look at what I have in front of me… first off, I have a steel cage match against Dan Taylor… my newly found favorite jabroni to beat on… then I have a rumble match with the winner going to face the EWE World Heavyweight Champion at Wrestlemania Four… lets start with Mr. Taylor… since he’s the easiest to make fun of.

Sean takes another drink of the drink…

~Slug~
Now… it’s still a mystery to a lot of people where this whole feud between the two of us started… and to be honest, if you weren’t one of the two of us, you wouldn’t understand it. It may sound a little childish, but it pretty much started with trash talking in interviews for EWE and AWO magazine… then the owner of AWO kept begging me to come face Dan Taylor and win his AWO World title… that’s not what I wanted… I didn’t want to associate myself with the AWO… so I invited Dan to the EWE for a match… he came, he saw, I CONQURED… simple as that.

Sean pauses…

~Slug~
Yeah… sure… Gino Knoxx did come down to the ring and attack Dan… I even attacked Gino after he attacked you. I wasn’t very excited about Gino ruining our match. That pretty much explains why Piper is going to lock the two of inside of a steel cage… to keep Gino, Johnny Chaos, White Tiger, Woody Woodpecker, and anyone else who wishes they could get into the ring and fuck it up… OUT! Dan Taylor… you may be new to the EWE… but listen… I know I may be Mr. Ladder match… but I have also put on some amazing action in a steel cage… some good ones come to mind… two to be exact… first off is the steel cage match I won to win the King of Xtreme last year… then the second was that triple cage match I won at Wrestlemania 3… no big deal…

Sean pauses again…

~Slug~
Save the bull shit about your past in the AWO… I’m sure you have won a cage match or two… but you also have won topless volcano matches and black out typhoon bull shit matches there. What ever you have lived up to in the AWO… means shit here… but you probably figured that out by now…

Sean stops and takes a quick drink… he even takes a moment to “adjust himself”…

~Slug~
Now… I may be up against the wall a little bit when Final Destination comes… since I am going to be involved in the brutal beating of Dan Taylor… then I have to head backstage and get ready for the Rumble match. Now… don’t think for a minute that I am focusing more on one match then the other… I may talk a lot more about the Rumble… but think about it Einstein… Dan Taylor is the only opponent I have in the cage match… while in the Rumble… who knows who all will show up!

Sean stops again…

~Slug~
The Xplosion roster is very deep… I could run off a few names of people that could easily be the EWE World Heavyweight Champion… and to be honest, there is no official entry list to this match. I’m guessing that it’s a first come first serve type of thing. Now… there are three kinds of people that are going to enter this match… first off there are the bangers… then the jobbers… and the darkers… and yeah, it sounds racist… but saying dark horses just doesn’t rhyme.

Sean smiles at the camera…

~Slug~
First off we have the jobbers… now, I’m not saying these guys couldn’t actually pull a magic rabbit out of their ass and have it help them toss people out on their way to the victory… but a lot of crazy shit has happened in EWE. The guys I am talking about are the following… Duke, Alex Shelly, FACD, Brett Unknown, Kidd Karnage, and others like that… honestly, just hope you’re tossed out before I get to the ring, it’s as easy as that. Most of you I have either beaten, or been turned down by Piper for asking matches with you. Duke, sure… you are a former All American Champ and Pure Champ… but still, I have tossed your salad a few too many times in the EWE. Yeah… we go way back… but still, those times are over. Alex Shelly… just a few weeks ago I beat your little boyfriend short of a hospitalization… just keep that in mind. FACD… now, I respect your work as Chris Steel… and I really hope the FACD gimmick works for you and all… but it’s just not enough for me… end of story…

Sean stretches his arms out…

~Slug~
Now… the bangers… the aces… the big guns… I’m talking about Chris Ceno, Cameron Hayden, White Tiger, and Eighteen… a few that I have a lot of respect for. Now… I may give you guys a little bit of attention tonight… but trust me, as we get closer to the event, I’ll single you out and talk some more shit… but for now, none of you are a threat. Just the same bull shit… you’re going to put some good stuff up, but time and time again, I have taken wins over you guys.

Sean pauses…

~Slug~
Cameron Hayden… buddy… pal… I know I don’t exactly have a pin fall victory over you… you have stood the test of time in my eyes, and I’m surprised that Piper hasn’t pushed the two of us together. Maybe Sunday will be the night… Sunday will be the night that Sean Lewis and Cameron Hayden are left alone in the ring… no parental supervision… but… I still don’t see you as a threat yet kid. You have come along way… but I still have along way to go young grass hopper…

Sean stops again and takes a big drink of the red bull…

~Slug~
Now… the most important and hardest to see coming… the dark horses… I’m talking about Ciaran Michaels and anyone who decides to show up at the last minute and try to get into the main event at Wrestlemania four. You little pricks should know by now… don’t fuck with me like that. If you want to beat me, then do it… but don’t just wait around and hit me from behind… do I look like Abdul… you know… a hitting from behind joke… anyways…

Sean pauses again and does a little cough to break the awkward silence…

~Slug~
What it all comes down to is this… I’m not done… while the hero over on Chaos is talking about calling it quits after a few tough losses and lack of drive… this kid is going to keep kicking right along. There could be 15, 20, 30, 50 men in my way to Wrestlemania… but you should have learned one thing by now when it comes to me… put the odds against me, and prepare to be amazed! There is nothing that is going to stop me from whooping Dan Taylor’s ass… then everyone else on Xplosion’s ass… you can not have a Wrestlemania main event with out THE FRANCHISE… so Dan Taylor, Cameron Hayden, Eighteen, White Tiger, Duke, Alex Shelly, Ciaran Michaels, and the rest of the peanuts gang…

Sean pauses again…

~Slug~
THE WAY I SEE IT… I am Above You… prepare to be annihilated… you can’t prove me wrong… catch phrase after catch phrase… there is only one that will rain supreme and meet either Johnny Chaos, Nero Phoenix, or Shawn Ashlocke at Wrestlemania Four… and that’s this one… the 5 most famous words in the history of Extreme Wrestling Entertainment… it’s a promise!

THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD!

Sean slams the rest of the red bull in the can before crushing it against his head… he then stands up and walks back down the hallway as the scene slowly fades away…

Fade to black
