- The Celebration

The scene opens up showing a car. A short criminal man gets out of the truck parked on th shoulder of a highway in London. He pops the trunk and pulls out a shovel and a body bag. He throws the bag down and digs a whole. He unzips the bag and plops the body in it. The head sticks out of the hole. the man then leaves the shovel and the bag and drives off. Then the Impact Players are seen inside of their lockeroom..you guessed it, just sitting there.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : Soo, you guys want to do something?

'the coolest' Justin Credible : YEAH!

'the sexy one' Dawn Marie : Of course..but what will we do?

'the serious one' Lance Storm : Uhh....

'the coolest' Justin Credible : Well, Lance, you are fighting Jericho on Smackdown! So, we could do something about that.

'the sexy one' Dawn Marie : All oyu can do is train and promo..and I can't train in the male room and promos are boring.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : I smell PROMO! Peace..

Lance walks off and Justin follows. They walk through some curtains and then the cameras fade to commercial.

The scene opens up in the auditorium of the Lodon Arena. The fans are filling into the auditorium in the masses as Smackdown is set to begin in a few days. There is a dark match going on in the ring. Two wrestlers who hope to recieve CWF contracts give it all in the match. The crowd is rather dead as their is nothing interesting going on in the match. Suddenly the lights in the arena go off in the arena is in a state of complete darkness. The sound of the guitar from the beginning of "Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park blasts throughout the arean via the PA system. The sound of the guitar gets taken up and the hardcore edge of the song kicks in. Impact Players new titantron video plays on the SmackTron. Multi-Colored lights flicker all around the arena. A reddish spot circles around and finally rests on the entrance ramp. Lance Storm is shown with his back to the ring, his head down, and his arms in the air. Lance turns around and faces the ring. He is wearing a black t-shirt that says "Total Impact" on the front and "The Impact Players" on the back. He also has on a pair of black jeans. He has a bottle of water in his left hand. He looks to his right and notices the booing fans. He looks to his left and notices the same thing. Lance smiles. He starts to walk down the ramp as the sound of Chester screaming "Somewhere I Belong" on The Impact PLayers' new theme song is heard. The fans reaction to Lance. Storm pauses in the center of the ramp. He looks to his left and his right and finally looks back and the entrance way. He signals to the back. The curtain opens and Justin Credible comes from the backstage area with blue jeans on and a suitcase in his hand. Credible walks down the ramp with a huge smile on his face. He walks to the center of the ramp where Lance is. The two shake to a chorus of "You Suck" chants from the crowd. The two walk down the ramp together as the song keeps playing. Lilian Garcia gets in the ring and introduces the two.

'the voice' Lillian Garcia : Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome to the ring being accompanied by Justin Credible. Lance Storm!!!!

Lance Storm and Justin Credible make their way to the ring. Lance walks to the right set of steel steps. Justin walks over to the left set of steel steps. They both walk up the steps at the same time. They reach the apron and walk toward each other. They meet in the center of the apron. They both raises their right fists in the air. They both climb through the ropes and enter the ring. Lance paces around. Justin Credible places the suitcase on the ground. He opens it up and pulls a microphone out. Lance climbs the turnbuckle and taunts the booing crowd. He jumps off. He goes to the center of the ring. He faces the entrance way. He lowers his head and raises his arms high in the air. His music cuts off and the lights come back on. The crowd is hot. The two wrestlers that were in the ring wrestling had long stopped. Lance walks over to one of them and acts as ife he is going to shake his hand, but he gives him a Superkick. The other wrestler tries to run, but Justin catches him. Lance takes him and throws him to the outside of the ring. Once both wrestlers are out of the ring Lance takes the microphone from Justin. He paces around the ring a bit. He puts the microphone towards his mouth and starts to speak....

'the serious one' Lance Storm : You know I have been going through a lot lately. I have been going through many changes since Last Year. I started this year off on bottom. I started this year off not even in the CWF, headlining indy shows. I started this year on worst of my game. I became a two-time indy champion. I became the first and only Indy Undisputed Champion while having a perfect record there. I became the second WCCWF Undisputed Champion. I was a member of all the top stables there...Degenration X...SCW....Triple Threat....and Corporate Chaos. Around January something started to happen. There was something that changed. I was no longer top dog in the Indy feds. I was no longer headling Pay-Per-Views, I wasn't even in a match. I was sitting my ass at home watching. I was no longer main eventing shows. I was busy fighting opening matches against no bodies. I was no longer the top dog because I was fighting for titles like the European Championship. In less than a year by career was on a downward spiral. Just a few weeks ago I got pinned by, of all people, a rookie. That is when I finally realized that there was something that needed to happen. I realized that something was wrong. I thought I need a change, but a change is not what was necessary. There is an old saying that goes "If it ain't broke then don't fix it." I realized that change wouldn't help me, but I needed to get back to the old Lance Storm. I needed to get back to the Lance Storm that won 5 Indy Championships. I needed to get back to the Lance Storm that was the top story on the news night in and night out. I needed to get back to the Lance Storm whose very name put fear in the hearts of men. I sat in my bed and I pondered and pondered how to do it. I watched old tapes of myself. I wanted to know what was different at that time then it had been from the past. I finally realized that there was only one man who could get Lance Storm back to the top. I realized that I had to make a phone call and I did just that. I didn't call Paul Heyman, but I called Justin Credible. I called my old tag partner and I asked him to once again become my partner and lead me back to the top. Justin immediately agreed and the rest is history. Now...that was a nice little tale, but story time is over. The year 2003 is rapidly approaching and that means it is time to get down to business. Lately there has been a change of events in the CWF. It is like the universe has shifted and there is a new world order. Flair has recruited us and we are making a big Impact. People like Batista are quickly rising to the top of the federation. They are quickly climbing the ladder and one would be led to conclude that my position at the top is not secure. In the midst of all this confussion I can't help but to be determined to make a difference. I have realized that people have forgotten just who in the hell I am. People have forgotten what I have done to people who have doubted me. People have forgotten what I was famous for. Openers among others may think that I am no longer top dog because they might have a little fluky victory over me, but I just want to let he and the rest of the bitches in the locker room know that I am still the top dog and I plan to stay the top dog until I feel like moving on. I think I need to remind the people just who I am. They must have forgotten that I am the real Cerebral Assasin. I am the man that has ended the careers of men who have stepped in the ring with me. I am the man that ended the so called "god's" 6 month long winning streak in other federations. There is no one in this company that has achieved more than I have in the time that I have. While talking about my past accomplishments...I can't help but to think of the man Jeff Hardy.

Lance kneels down to take the sledgehammer out of the suticase. He hold the sledgehammer in his left hand. The crowd continues to boo him and chant "You Suck, You Suck" Storm ignores them..he puts the microphone back to his lips and starts to speak again.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : Jeff Hardy is the reason that Justin was humiliated and embarassed in front of all these jackasses a couple of weeks ago. Had it none have been for Jeff, Justin would have won, he did however beat the game. Jef Hardy, did the one thing that makes me want to kill. Jeff may be a legend in this buisiness, but I have a track record of taking "legends" and kicking their ass. History has proven that I am the man that takes legends and I break them down. JEff came down to this ring and cost Justin the pride of defeating the Game. But, I don't want to fight Jeff Hardy, Instead I will fight Jericho. I demanded that my former tag-team champion partner, Chris Jericho and I have the pleasure of beating the hell out of each other. Jericho may be on a little winning streak. He won last week, but I guarantee Jericho's luck is going to come to an abrupt and screetching halt on Thursday when he steps into the ring with me. Jericho will no longer slide by with victories like he has in the past because I am going to make sure that I get a third win for Team Impact. Chris is going to realize that payback is a bitch when he steps into the ring this Thursday. In all of my past matches it has just been all about business. I can't think of a time where I really has this much passion going into the match. It is no longer about just proving to the world that I am the best. It is no longer about maintaing my status, but it is about teaching Jericho a lesson that he will never forget. Jericho walks around talking about how he is the King of the World. Chris Jericho is going to eat those words along with my fist this Thursday when I am in the ring kicking his cocky ass and showing him why I am in The Impact Players. Chris Jericho is nothing more than a brown-noser trying to get back in the ring to prove he has still got the intangible "it" when he is faced with the task of wrestling young guns like myself. I am afraid that I am going to have to reveal the truth to the world on SmackDown. I will show Jericho and everyone else that he is nothing more than an old washed up son of a bitch and he no longer has it. I am going to prove to Chris and his dumb litlte fans that he just can't hang with me. Chris Jericho may have signed his death certificate when he woke up and decided to wrestle with me. He will be my next victim and I will, get the gimmick title Number One Contendership. I don't know who Jericho is talking to, but whoever it is, is feeding him lies. Whoever told Chris that it would be a good idea to go and fight me must obviously not have his best interest in mind.

Lance is cut off by the crowd errupting into a "JER-I-CHO" chant. Lance Storm is annoyed by the chanting. He furiously gets back on the microphone.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! Chris Jericho is a nobody. You all can call his name all you want, but it won't change his predetermined fate of being forced into a nursing home by me. On Smackdown, Chris is going to enter a totally different arena. Chris is going to be on my turf and he is going to realize just like many others that it isn't so nice playing a game where I make the rules. Chris may still be in good shape. He may even be close to how he was in his prime; however, Chris couldn't even touch me in my prime. The fact is just that I am better than Jericho and there is nothing he can do to prevent me from proving this fact. He can run and hide behind everybody's shadow, but I will find him. He can have Steph standing by his side as his little woman, but I could Superkick Steph just as easily as I could him. The meeting between Chris Jericho and I is inevitable. Chris Jericho is going to stand in the ring and look me in the eye. He is going to stand nose to nose with me. Just like the meeting, the ass kicking is foreordained. Chris Jericho can say all the prayers he wants, but I am afraid celestial opposition can't even save his ass for what I have in store for him. Chris Jericho will find himself in a state of weakness after he is exposed to the cold and unforgiving steel of this sledgehammer that I hold in my hand. I haven't used this sledgehammer here in the CWF, but in the past I have used it to out the best of them and end their unprolific careers. The same thing goes for Jericho. His little run in the CWF might have been frivolous and jujune because it will have done nothing but achieved his ass a doctors bill because he is going to be in the hospital with a feeding tube running through his ass for a long time. Jericho could have had it all. He could have just left things as they were. He could have stayed his ass at home and let the people have a good angle for him. He would have gone into the CWF Hall of Fame and he and his family could have lived happily ever after, but he just had to fight me. He just had to come back and decide to start something with me. Now instead of people remembering him as being one of the best wrestlers in the history of this business he will just be rememberd as the man who was yet another sacrafical lamb for Lance Storm to prey on. He will be remember as nothing more as one of my bitches who thought he was tough, but got his ass handed to him in a match with me. Not only will the memory of his career be shattered, but the memory of Jericho the man will be shattered. I doubt anyone will be able to recognize him after his face is totally messed up from seldgehammer shot after sledgehammer shot after sledgehammer shot. I doubt anyone will remember how Jericho even looked after his entire body is wrapped up in a cast for a long time after I am done with his ass.

The crowd really starts to boo when Lance talks about destroying Jericho. He once again gives them all the cold shoulder. He drops the sledgehammer and paces around the ring as he begins to talk again.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : Chris Jericho will come face to face with a force like he has never seen before. I don't give a damn how long his career has spanned, I can attest to the statement that Chris Jericho has never faced anything like I have planned for him. Jericho may think I am just standing here talking with no intention of walking, but he will understand that everything I prophesy in this ring comes to fullfillment. He is going to realize that I am not just out here talking for the hell of it, but I am trying to warn him for the actions that I will committ in the future. Jericho sits in his little locker room wearing his egotistical t-shirts thinking shit don't stink, but he will be taught a valuable lesson on Smackdown. It is just too bad that the price of that lesson is his health and his career. I cannot put enough emphasis on the fact that Jericho made the ultimate mistake. He took actions before thinking the consequences out. That is how most of these so called "legends" pass. Me kicking Jericho's ass is going to hopefully send a message to Rhino, Corino, and Ric Flair that the Impact is running this shit. After I take Jericho out he will be zipped up in plastic when it happens and that it for his ass. Chris just isn't on my level. I don't give a damn how much he talks. I gained what he gained in his whole career in my first year and more. When I am done kicking Jericho's ass he is going to fall from top ten to not being mentioned at all. I am only being real when I say that no one wants to see their grandfather wrestle. Old men have heart attacks and I don't want to be held responsible for anything that happens to Chris on SmackDown. When he signed the match with me he signed a contract stating that anything that happens is legal and I am not responsible. When he agreed to a match with me he gave me a right and a reason to have his ass committed to a nursing home as a result of body fucntions ceasing because of me kicking his ass. The stupid fans in the audience continually cheer for Chris. They refuse to face facts. They think Jericho has the slightest chance in hell of beating me. Some people even think that I am afraid of Chris. [Sarcasm]Yeah....I am afraid of a man that wears lime green tights every day![Sarcasm]Jericho went as far as to call his tights "sexy." Not only should the people doubt Jericho's ablity against me in the ring, but they need to doubt his sexuality. Jericho prides himself on making people tap, but I promise you he will not make me tap on SmackDown. There is no way and I mean no way in hell I am going to let Chris force me to submit to the Walls. Jericho calls himself the Mellinium Man. It will be funny to to see the Mellinium Man get taken out by The Assasin because that is exactly what is going to happen on SmackDown. Chris Jericho may have a long hitlist with my name on it, but when I am done with Jericho he won't even be able to write anymore names on his little hitlist because I am going to knock the feeling right out of his old ass body.

The crowd starts to boo even louder. They errupt into an "asshole" chant. Lance ignores them and continues to talk.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : Jericho just isn't going to beat me. It isn't just his age that is prevent him. I mean Chris is such an old man and he definately isn't going to be able to keep up with me, but there is also another factor that prevents him from being able to beat me. There is also the little element I like to call the X Factor to conisder. Jericho isn't ready to step into the ring with me because he has never seen a man as calculating as me. How can Chris Jericho win a match against a man that is always thinking? Chris Jericho is nothing but a lazy son of a bitch. Even if he was a worker like I am, he wouldn't have the mental capacity to think too far down the road and prepare an efficient strategy for a match against me. I am constantly thinking of ways to take my opponent out and it is no difference with Chris. At this very moment I am planning my attack. I am planning everything out. It gets to the point where Jericho may think he has me down, but I will surprise him by coming back on his ass and taking his ass out. Chris Jericho will get to the point where he just doesn't know what to do and that is the point where I proceede to break him down. Once I break him down...BAM... I finish the match off by putting a Superkick on. Jericho is in the middle of the ring and I pin his ass 1...2...3... Affter the match, Chris will lie in the ring for a while because his ass will be unconscious for all the sledgehammer shots. When he finally wakes up he will look up and see me standing over his fallen body and he will think back to this very promo and realize trhat this isn't a joke. He will realize that everything I am saying right now is the truth. He will realize that he is an old washed up nothing who can relate to the fans and get cheers from them because he is a lazy, useless nothing just like they are. So the fans can continue to cheer and cheer for Jericho, but he will be just a distant memory after our match on Thursday. Jericho just like yo-yos did a couple of years ago, will go out of style. These people are blinded by the lies they are fed by the media. The media makes Jericho out to be some type of hero when all actuallity he is nothing but an overrated fool. I will expose the truth to everyone on SmackDown. I am sure these fans won't be smart enough to comprehend the truth so they will go on believing the lies and not accepting the fact that I am like god when it comes to this wrestling industry, but anyone with an opinion that matters will know that for all these years Jericho did a good job of decieving people because it took them this long to find out he is nothing more than a fortuity. Just like the Undertaker, Chris will be left in this ring for dead when I am finished with his ass.

Lance continues to pace around the ring. The crowd gets even louder with boos when Lance mentions Chris and Taker. Storm smirks. Justin continues to look on as Lance continues to talk to the crowd about Chris and the match on SmackDown.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : Jericho can come out here and do all the trash talking that he wants, but it is obviously nothing more than empty speech. When Jericho tries to lift me he will probably through his back and and both of our asses will be fucked, huh! The thing with so many old bastards like Christopher is that they have enough sense to retire at their own will when they get past their prime, Jericho on the other hand wants to take a risk and see if he can hang with Team Impact. If that hag is really froggish then he should leap, but the result will be him forced into retirement. In our match on SmackDown, Jericho's going to be a new member of the 'I JUST GOT MY ASS KICKED' list. I just want to let any of those sumbitches in the back thinking about wrestling Team Impact to go ahead because they will feel the same thing that Jericho is going to feel on Thursday. I don't give a damn who in the hell it is. If anyone wants to follows Taker's route...I urge them to because there are a lot of people in the back whose ass I just can't wait to kick. Them turning their back on the man who had a hand in making all of our careers will only add fuel to the flame. If anyone in the back thinks that this is a joke them I double dare them to step into the ring with me. I dare them to step in my face and see just what in the hell happens. I dare them to test me and dare me to prove all the words I speak are true because I have no problem with proving myself at the expense of doubting bastards. Ungrateful people like Chris Jericho deserve everything that he has coming to him on SmackDown. There is no way that I am going to start this year off on a sour foot. Jericho wanted to be the next lab rat, so I will have the pleasure of using him as nothing more than a mere tool in my demostration to the rest of the world that I am the best in the business and there is no one that can come and knock me down from the top.

Lance stops pacing around the ring. He stands in one spot. The crowd starts to quiet down. Lance puts the microphone back to his lips and resumes his speech.

'the serious one' Lance Storm : There is going to be a huge battle on SmackDown and I am sure that there will be a lot of hype surroudning this event. Just like my new theme song says..."I will never know, never myself untill I do this on my own" It will be bittersweet for Jericho. He finally gets to return to glory and get a challenge at a show. Jericho finally gets media exposore and people will actially talk about him, but it will all be shortlived after he falls victim to the Superkick. When his name is said it will only be in a sentence that has the worlds "got his ass kicked by Lance Storm." Jericho will be just another addition to the list of those who have had the pleasure of laying on the back while I pinned their ass 1..2..3.. A list of people that have also been victims of the same effect. Jericho will become just another statistic of those who have gotten their asses kicked by me in this vey ring. Chris will finally be able to wear the t-shirt that is the biggest fashion hit of the season. He can proudly wear the shirt that says "I'm Lance's bitch and there is nothing I can do about it." Of for old people like Chris he can have the special respirator autographed by me. I mean the guy is an old man. I wouldn't be surprised if he has to take a timeout during the match to get some oxygen from a pump. Jericho should have stuck to doing easy shit against people like Undertaker, but he just had to stick his head in my business. Now I will make sure that Jericho can barely move his little head. Jericho is about to step into the ring with a man who is on a mission. When I am on a mission there is nothing that I allow to stand in my way. I won't let Chris or his bitch stop me from proving all that I have to prove. Jericho will feel my wrath and everyone knows that there is no dodging the hand of my wrath. I hope Chris kisses his hoe and his children and tells them he loves them because it will probably be the last time he is able to even talk. Jericho is going to step into the ring when I am setting the pace of the match. I certainly know he won't be able to adjust. To any of the other boys in the back throwing shots at me behind my back or to my face. They only get half a line with this, he'll be the next victim of TOTAL FUCKIN IMPACT!!!!

Lance hands the microphone to Justin. He raises his hand once again in the air. The sound of The Impact Player's new song is heard. Lance gives Credible the sledgehammer also. He places them both in the suitcase. He closes it up and they both step through the ropes. They walk up the ramp and head to the back as the fans continue to boo them.
