The scene fades in the locker room in Virginia Beach, home of the next huge ICW Pay Per View, Beach Brawl four. Big Al Stud is walking down the hallway with one of his running buddies Johnny 'The Star' Jacobsen. Stud has his world Title wrapped around his waste, and his other two titles, Stables and Tag, draped over his shoulders. Jacobsen wears his titles similarly, but only he has the United States Title instead of the world...obviously. As they are walking Big Al Stud decided to strike up a conversation.

Big Al Stud: Man can you beleive that guy.

Johnny 'The Star' Jacobsen: I know exactlly what your saying. I can't beleive the nerve of him. Doesn't he know what he is going up against?

Big Al Stud: Apparently he doesn't. I mean, I am Big Al Stud. I am the most dominant man not only in ICW right now, but throughout all of the 2002 year! No one can dethrown me from holding this title. Since I say no one, that obviously includes him right?

Johnny 'The Star' Jacobsen: Of course. Who are we talking about?

Big Al Stud: RAGE!

Johnny 'The Star' Jacobsen: Oh yeah. Well sorry to disapoint you, but I gotta jet dude. I got buisness to handle, you know how it is.

Big Al Stud: Yeah I know what you mean, I've got a little shit to handle as well, you might call it buisness, but I will call it life thank you. Peace.

Stud and Jacobsen exchange a really 'thug looking' series of high fives and such parting moves. Jacobsen then walks down the other way of the hall as Stud continues. Stud then keeps walking and walking, like forest gump running across the country, only stud just walks a series of steps to accumulate only a few dozen feet. Stud then walks into a randomly placed Starbucks. You know there is one at every corner...of the locker room now a days. Stud walks in and goes up to the register to order.

Starbucks worker: May I help you?

Big Al Stud: Yeah hook it up with a Mountain Dew.

Starbucks worker: Ummm, starbucks is a coffee shop sir.

Big Al Stud: Yeah well if you know who I am you'll give me a Mt. Dew! Coffee could stunt my growth anyway.

Starbucks worker: Your a fully developed adult, and only 5'9, whats it matter anyway.

Big Al Stud flexes on the register boy and he jumps back. He comes up and hands Stud a 20 oz Mt. Dew, and Stud walks away with out paying. The register boy tries to chase Stud down, but his manager yells at him, because everyone loves BAS. Stud wanders over to an empty table with the camera crew following him. Stud sits down and takes a sip of his beverage. He looks up and begins speaking...

Big Al Stud: Rage, don't think that I didn't see your first two promos...because I assure you that I did. Also don't trick yourself into thinking that I am not goint to tell you what I think about them. I am a very outspoken person. I told that pimple faced, snot nosed, Rage fan what I thought and it got me what I wanted. This title belt is what I want, and after I tell you what I think...I am going to get what I want. Thats how shit works for Big Al Stud, its truly like clockwork. And speaking of clocks and time, its time for me to start my pomo, because time truly is money. So lets get to your first of two early promos for our big last man standing match at Beach Brawl. Rage first talked about some history. About how at this time last year he was preparing for his first ever ICW Pay Per View, and how he was on his quest for the Hardcore Title. Well at this time last year Rage, I was the former World Champion. I was part of the best tag team ever, and at Beach Brawl last year Patrick Webster let me down. At Beach BRawl last year I didn't come out victorious in my non stables match. You see throughout ICW History there have been two main pay per views. There is Wrestlerage, and Beach Brawl. At my first WrestleRage I didnt walk out of my singles match the winner, which was a big let down. At the other main Pay Per View the same thing happened, another let down. So we fast forward to WrestleRage3! This time I worked on my game, polished up my skills and there was no let down. History repeated itself last year from Big PPV to Big PPV and history has a tendancy to repeat itself, and I dont think Beach Brawl is really going to be any differant. Thats all the history that I care to get into at this point. History cane be brough up at a better time and a better place. Rage then decided to explain to me and all my fans how I won the World Title. Rage, I think there is something that you really don't understand here. Look at all the fans around when you come down to the ring Sunday Night. All those fans, are mine. I brought those fans into the arena. I am the man that they are comming here to cheer. They dont chant Rage-No-More, they chant B-A-S whenever I beckon. Greats like Pyro made ICW, but I elevated ICW to what it is today. All those kids in the crowd are going to be holding up Big Al signs, because they are behind me. I didnt win Viewer's Choice by being the most hated wrestler ever. So what does that have to do with anything? Well I am going to answer that question with a question of my own. Do you really need to explain how I did something to me and all of my fans? No, of course you dont. Thats like finding George W. Bush and telling him that his dad was a president, and Dana Carvey mocked him on Saturday Night Live. Everyone knows that common knowledge, especially to someone close like my fans. Rage, I will admit that your matches on Sunday Night Carnage were very impressive. I am not going to come out and say, you got lucky, or some shit like that. You proved your desire to win the world title on that very night. But don't think I dont have the desire. You can see it at Mind Games, after Mind Games, at Rude Awakening, and after Rude Awakening. You will experience my Desire Sunday at Beach Brawl, and everyone will still see that desire to be the best World Champion that I can be after the Pay Per View. Rage, that obviously means that I am winning. You see, you showed desire, that is true...but desire can only get you so far. Eventually it comes down to raw skill and ability. When it comes to that, I excell. This title I carry shows that I am the best in the buisness. That means when the desire runs out, and becomes null...there is the skill factor. This title says I have more skills than anyone else right now, yesterday and tomorrow. I will retain this title, because I want to, and I can.

Big Al Stud: Later on in his promo Rage hinted that the boys in Main Event held him back. That is the exact thing I have been trying to express to anyone. Look through the real roster. There is Webster and his great losing streaks, there is Ice who cant win a match anymore, and there is cue-ball Powers. These guys all know that their careers have already blossomed. Powers's was very quick from SI to WrestleRage2. Ice was last summer. And Webster just kind of wated to blossom untill he wilted away. These guys know that their careers are winding down and they are drifting down the 'ranks,' so they must grab on. They grab onto whatever fresh, young talent that they can. I left Main Event and quickly won and won, I was instantly surrounded by fans and gold. You left Main Event and what are you going to get out of it? You are going to get a main event match. You are going to get to wrestle the big dog. I made a beleiver out of Reaper and Webster, and you are next. You will get to step in the ring with the champ, and we are going to have a great match. There will be tons of heat and high impact moves. This match will be a great match and eventually it will end with me, Big Al Stud standing and holding up my prized World Title. Rage, you then suprisingly gave me props about how great my World Title has been. And it is true, this has been statistically the third best reign of all time, and the best reign since Max Power's reign from Shattered Innocence to WrestleRage2. Joe Max is the only other person who even comes close, and you truly make a good point. You are the one who ended Joe Max's world title reign. But what you really failed to mention is that you could not beat Joe Max. Joe Max killed himself while he was still the rightful holder of the title. Rage you came in and stole his title and beat Pyro. You snuck in the back door, so really you can't truly say that you could beat Joe, because you couldn't. But one man could beat Joe. One valiant warrior could beat Joe Max. This man was the last man ever to beat Joe Max in a one on one match up. This man is me, Big Al Stud. This is just another case of not only me proving you wrong, but showing that I can in fact do what you can't. Whether it be walk out of Beach Brawl with the World Title, or beat Joe Max. What it comes down to is that I am just better than you. But you are cocky and arrogant, not to mention blinded bye your own ambition. You are not going to listen to the words that I say and take them to heart. When I say I am better than you its just going to add fuel to your fire, so to speak. But come Sunday when I actually prove that I am better than you...then you will realize what I say is true. You will no longer be blinded by ambition and you will be able to see the shining light...reflecting off of the world title wrapped around my waste. Rage then started to bring some stuff from behind the scenes in his promo, and that is something that I try to stay clear of. I am not going to say how close I may or may not really be with certain members in the back, because I dont break fayfabe like certain people regularly do. Rage wants to talk about stuff in the back, by all means he can go ahead. I am just not going to lower myself to that just to make my promo longer and flow better. Rage then decided to look into what he sees in the future. Well now its time for this swame to look into his crystal ball. I see two gladiators going into battle in their war of choice. The younger, supposedly hungrier and more aggresive gladiator will have the advantage, almost killing the older champion. But that champion won't quit, he keeps getting up. The only way for the younger gladiator win is to kill the older one. But this younger gladiator doesn't have the heart. He will let up on the veteran who will take him down and out. Thats right Rage, you are going to have to kill me to keep me down for ten seconds, and I dont think you have that killer instinct. You said you were fresher, and thats because you have been slacking off your other matches. But lets look at me, I am much hotter. No I am not talking about the vast amounts of people who desire me sexually. I am talking about being on a hotter run in ICW. I mean we can just look at TNEF when I proved to be the best tag team wrestler, and one half of the best tag team...in ICW's entire history. But on TNEF, you cut no promos and slacked off in the ring. You have taken every card lightly since SNC, and you have only cut one promo! That doesnt sit right with a fighting champion like me. I work hard card in card out, and Sunday will be no differant. I will work harder than you Sunday and then will propell me to another big title victory, just showing everyone that I truly am one of the best World Champions of all time. Ive broken Joe Max's record, and I'm moving in to break Max Powers's...but before I can do that I need to break YOU rage!

Big Al Stud sits back for a while resting his voice box. He grabs the mountain dew and finishes it off. Stud gets up and walks out of the starbucks as some other wrestlers are walking in. These guys are some true greats like Bolt and Ravmaster. Stud walks over and then walks into the locker room suite which reads BIG AL STUD and a red star on it. Stud enters the locker room and plops down on a leather Lazy Boy chair. Stud then looks back to the camera and begins talking again.

Big Al Stud: Oh yeah, Rage you posted that second promo also, and I saw it. I already made mention of that and I am going to respond also to your second PROMO, and there is no time like the present, so here we go. First of all Rage, I don't even know what this supposed clique is. Maybe you are thinking of Jason Berodt's old stable the Kliq, in which I was never a part of. But yes I am Canadian, and you can go ahead and try to dog Canada to attempt to get some cheap heat all you want, because it doesn't affect me. But I will also tell you that 'Rage will submurge' is really pathetic and that was not even going to come out of my mouth. Thats not unique, and is in fact slightly more cheesy than the phrase you try to play off as cool, 'Rage will Emerge.' You went into detail about some of our history, and I am not going to do that right now. I will save that for another promo at another date. Rage then started talking about headlining the big Pay Per View and how it is also my responsibilty to make sure this match is a good as it can be. Well Rage where have you been the past half of a year? I made the main event at WrestleRage3 what it is. I came down and shocked the world, making it a very memorable PPV match indeed. Then Max Powers and I went back and forth in a match that could have gone either way at the Mind Games Main Event, until he pinned El Oso. Then what an I Quit match that Reaper and I had last month. I mean I have been in three great main event matches in a row, but only scheduled for two of them. I have headlines more total cards than you likely ever will. I entertain the fans like few before me. You dont have to tell me about making sure this match is as good as it can be. I am Big Al Stud for crying out loud. I do what I do, and I do it very well. I entertain the crowd and win matches. Sunday I will do those things and more! Lastly Rage decided that he would mock the people who I have defended my World Title against in the past. There has been Reaper and Webster. Rage doesn't consider either of them 'quality opponents.' Well firs thing is first Rage. I didnt pick my opponents, they both earned their shots. When people earn their shots, that obviously means that they truly are quality opponents. I mean look at Webster. I truly gave you a run for your money. In a see saw match you barely managed to squeak by Webster, and you try to play it off as if he sucks. And when Reaper faced Webster at Mind Games. He almost killed him. Anyone who can dominate Webster in a match with no rules, is a worth fighter at any time. Reaper fits that description obviously. They both earned their shots, just like you did. So really the only question is after I beat you at Beach Brawl, is the person I face at the August PPV going to say that you weren't a 'quality opponent'?

After leaving Rage with that question to think about Stud just stares deep into the lense of the camera with an intense look on his face. Stud still looks on for a breif time longer until the camera fades to black...
