Scene opens to the outside of a massive church. Just by looking at it you can tell it's old. It's sturdy cement stairs have felt countless people wlking up and down them. People ranging from lonley social outcasts, to hobo's, to important buisness men, to archbishops and at one point even the Pope. War's have taken place in and around the grounds of the church, although you wouldn't know it to look at it now.

The church it's self is a tribute to some of the great architects of the past. It's massive columns and archways tell tales of history. Paintings and stainedglass windows recount important stories from the bible, and saints that have long since died. Only a few of the pews are original. A fire, deliberatley set, some 50 years ago destroyed much of the old woodwork, although some did survive. The altar, made of a rare wood, found probably in a rainforest, is draped in sabatical garments. From the altar you can see from the front to the back, where the entrance is.

The doors are make of solid oak and are quite large for any one man to move. To make it easier the doors have been rigged to be opened and closed by seveal large pistons, they are hidden from view of the public and are only about 30 years old. Stepping thought the doors brings you back out to the world. The sun, on this day, is bright and immediately blinds you when you emerge from the doors.

To the left of the doors a figure leans against one of the outer walls of the church. His short, dark hair is geled up and he has sunglasses resting in his hair. He's is wearing a shirt with the word eXXtreme on it. He has on shorts that cut just below his knees. On his feet are a pair of addidas sport sandals.

He was known to only a few before. That was until him and several others did what none though possible and took gold that wasn't theirs.

Shane: It seems that so many times these days, when people open their mouths it's to speak of religion, in one form or another. Some people spew quotes from the bible and praise god, others condemn the preists and take comfort in the word of Satan. I find no merit in either.

Shane pushes away from the wall and begins walking down the cement stairs. Away from the church.

Shane: God has nothing I want and Satan offers me nothing I need. People look to them for answers and guidance. All they really get are words that at any rate mean nothing. For all anyone knows God and the bible were just something some old begger thought up as a story to tell people so they would give him money. Maybe Satan was just an image adults planted in childrens minds to get them to obey. People blindly follow the leader when what they should be doing is leading themselves.

Shane gets to the bottom of the staris. He pauses for a minute and looks around. He is standing on a sidewalk. Straigh in frint of his is a street, 1 lane on either side, though wide enough for cars to park against the sidewalk as those in the street are able to pass. Shane waits until the traffic clears, he crosses the street and walks into a park. The trees in the park provide enough shade from the bright, summer sun. The occasional bench can be seen, next to which are garbage cans.

Shane: Oblivion, I respect you. What you do in the ring takes a lot of will. The punishment you endure and the pain you suffer never ceases to amaze me. But right now you're out of you're element. You may shine when your bashing your opponents with baseball bats and strangleing them with barbed wire, but in a REAL wrestling match you fall short. You accuse me of trying to find security in mysef by joining eXXtreme, you say that I have accomplished nothing on my own. No. I became #1 contender BEFORE I joined eXXtreme. You want to come after me. Fine. Just get in line with all the rest, you'll get your turn on the High Ride.

Shane walks through the park a little ways. He reaches a tree. Pine. It has several names carved in it. Shane stops and looks at the tree.

Shane: Jeckel, you're facing "Big Time" Chris Taylor this Thursday on CWF Blast. On Sunday you're supposed to face me at the "Return" for MY shot at the World Title. I certainley hope you don't loose it before then, I've been looking foreward to a rematch after you failed miserabley the last time we met. Don't go loosing MY title now.

Shane looks away from the tree. He looks over at a couple who mare sitting on a bench. They are holding hands and talking.

Shane: It seems this Thursday I also have a match on CWF television. The CWF seems bitter that they lost their own gold to the ICWA. They desperatley want it back.

The couple on the bench get up and walk away. Shane contunies to watch them as they walk through the park, away from him.

Shane: Fensta, you can insult my mother, my father, my family, and my life all you want. It's not going to change the way that things are going to happen on Blast. There was a reason Prez Ben choose the "Natural Wonder" for team ICWA. I AM the greatest athlete and the biggest star in the ICWA. I've walked my Pathway to the Stars right over The Inquisition, and I can walk it over you to. I may not be as large as Sephiroth, but I'm a whole lot more talented. On Thursday, Fensta X, you cross tracks with the Cleveland Express. It's something few, alone, have ever been able to stand against.

Shane stands, staring out at the park infront of him, as the scene begins to fade out.
