Big Al Stud: Look, that was last year's biggest PPV of the year, and shock of the year winner. Max Powers. Powers, you are in the Mr. ICW tourny this year again, and looking to shock the world for the second time. Last year I called it a fluke, cause I had no respect for you. If you win it again, I will have all the respect in the world for you. You could quite possibly do it, but I don't really think you have the motivation that you had last year. But I could really see that happening for some odd reason. The only differance from this year is perhaps that V is not going to form...but who knows some great new stable might form, thats what makes Shattered Innocence the best PPV there is, you never really know what to expect. It is kind of like a Max Powers intro to the ring. It is always going to be essentially the same, but the fans are going to keep comming back to see what the slight change will be that will shock everyone.

Big Al Stud: Now, don't think that I didn't see your long, boring, and at times very tedius promo. I saw all of the unkind things that you had to say about me, and some of the nice things that you had to say about me, and I am going to respond to them now, at the begining of my promo. Firstly you talked about someone like myself is going to walk out of the X-Cel Center with the spot at WrestleRage, and you are damn right that I am going to. And you also hit the nail on the head when you said that I am not going to let some punk-ass flukey rookie come in and get another lucky victory. Lets face it, no one wants to see Chris Allen headlining WrestleRage. No one wants to see some old guy who has done it all before like HHH or Pyro main event WrestleRage either. They want to see someone fresh, someone new...someone like me, and that someone IS ME! Powers, you said that at first you are not going to worry about me, and I think that is sound strategy. One of us has our hands full with Pyro...but the other one owns Pyro like a coloneal wig-head used to think he owned a slave. But unlike back in the day, there is going to be no rebellion from my "slave" Pyro, mostly because I am facing HHH. But you can go ahead and focus on Pyro, but IF you can get passed him, I am going to come out from nowhere like you did last year and bite you on the ass, just because you didn't worry about me and give me the damn respect that we both know that I deserve!

Big Al Stud: So I skip through a whole bunch of jobber jibber jabber and get to the good stuff, the stuff that has Big Al Stud in it. I wait through that whole dull, dreary promo and then about 8/10s through the whole thing...Max Powers finally gets to the man who is going to keep him from keeping the name of Mr. ICW. That man is me. I am going to make sure that Powers does not walk out of Shattered Innocence a victor, and the only way that I know how to do that is to beat him...the only way I can. By any means necessary. Max called me insecure, and really I am going to let that slide. The fact of the matter is that I am just pleased that he didn't start his stanza out with some pourly planned homosexual joke. But the truth to that insecure rumor is that I am very secure with myself, previous things I have done to prove that is to go to a convention for homosexuals. I could do that for the sole reason that I am secure with my manhood and my sexuality. Another thing is when I pissed in Jamie Pressley's but hole. I don't know why that makes me secure, but I sure as hell enjoyed it even though I do not know why she wanted to...but back to the subject of you winning Mr. ICW, and me losing. HAHA, its really quite funny when you think about it. Max, just think about someone who is a laughing joke in ICW winning Mr. ICW not once but twice. Its funny isn't it well now you know why I think you winning again is funny. Glad I could really clear things up for ya! Max talked to great lengths about how I am a jokester and I am just joking around with the whole tournament. Well Max, when I am outside of the ring I am sure as hell joking around. I will make fun of anyone and everyone that I want to, whenever I want to. Just because I can. But when I get into the ring I am all buisness, and that is something that you have really never had to deal with. You have never had to face me one on one, or even in a tag team match. You don't really know how buisness like I can get in there, or even how badly I can hurt a man. Ask Sting or Jericho. They are Hall of Famers that I put on the shelf for their career. Do you want to be the third one? I don't think that you do, so don't tell me how to live my life. Maxxxy P, you don't need to tell me that this is the ICW tourny, or that it comes around once a year. I know it is not a US Title match I can alternate wins in. But I don't know if you are aware that this is not a US Title shot that you get 17 tries at untill you finally get the win. It doesn't work like that, and actually I do know that you knew that...but I would just love to make fun of you anyway! Why would I do that? Simply because I can! Powers then starting rambling on about me getting serious for a moment, and Mr. T turning white. Well I thought that I had listened to far to many racial slurs in your promo, so I turned that shit off and I have no clue what you said after that...

Big Al Stud: But anyway, now time to freeball, if you will, about Max Powers. The man has some talent, I will tell you that much. If you had asked me last year I couldnt have predicted that he would even have a United States Title reign by ST 2002, and he barely did. HAHA, but seriously. I looked at that rookie last year, and I thought to myself that this guy didn't even really have potential. Obviously he knew better than that. Powers was another founding father of the Main Event. We dominated the scene on ICW together for quite some time, which left quite some time that I was imporving and Powers was staying stationary, skill wise that is. During all this time, I did not face Max Powers for the simple fact that we were stable mates, and there is nothing like fighting amongst stable mates to break up a stable...right Pyro and Chairsman!? Anyway, Powers was obviously scared of me, so at Escape from Reason, after we had lost the Stables Titles and ME's future was looking shady...you came down to the ring and attacked me. Powers, you were one of the ones who helped to break my leg so I could not wrestle you for a few months. You know the time would come when I would be back, and ring rust was kicking in. You started false illigations that I "didnt have it anymore," but those were soon to be proved wrong by me. Now there is a slim possibility that we could be going at each other in a singles match for the first time ever. Are you shaking in your boots? You know you should be, because you never know what a guy like me will try to do in the ring. I'm crazy Max. And I have been studying films. I have watched last year's SI 4 times in a row. I know you have changed alot since back then, but you know many things are the same. Now I know in which way you are going to try to conserve your energy. That is not a smart thing, because if u are trying to save up, Pyro could beat you. Or Gerard, or especially me. I will break your little pencil neck if you get all the way to the finals to face me. Powers, I really don't know if you can do it, but I doubeted you last year and you got the job done. I suppose that is what counts, but also the ref counts. The ref is going to be the man who counts your shoulders down for the one, the two, and the all important three that always follows the best finisher in ICW histroy...the Devastation Device! The D. Device is far superior than your little powersbomb. I mean sure your name is clever and the finisher ties into your name with a mix between a powerbomb and Max Powers, but thats where the whole "coolness" of the finisher shoots down the tube. I mean all you do is sit them up like the legion of doom used to do, and then slam your opponent down on his face. I mean, you could have just stolen that from a video game or something for all I know or care. But not me, I am the inventor of my finishing move. A pump handle, fall away slam. YOu wish you had the intellect our physique to do a mistical move like that. One day I was wrestling, and it just clicked in my mind, so I did it to my opponent, and he was knocked out cold. I don't know that the Powersbomb can do the trick when you step out of the lower levels and start fighting the big boys. You couldn't get the W over Pyro, but thanks to the great finisher I have...I beat Pyro quickly, easily, and hadily. Quite simply put, I don't think that you can run with the big dogs, and when you can't run with the big dogs...you gotta stay on the porch! But, since we were in the Main Event together...I will make an acception for you...no I wont. See you in the ring, if you can make it that far! I really don't think that you can, because like you said about me earlier on into my comeback, you said I didn't have it anymore. But if you haven't noticed it really I do still have it, and you, my friend, are the one who does not have what you used to have. Last year no one gave you a chance in hell, and you won the whole thing. This year some people think you can win, but this year I am going to make sure that you dont.

Big Al Stud presses the play button again and Shattered Innocence 2001 starts again in his home theater. Stud reaches down under his little theater-like red chair and pulls out a giant popcorn tub, a big gulp of pepsi, and a 3 pound milky way bar. The lights in the room die, as does the camera...
