{At a Local N.O.W. House show at the conclusion of a match the words….”He’s Back!” appear on the large screens above the entrance ramp, the fans stand and start to look down the isle way as “Fight Song” by Marilyn Mason starts to play. A large skull shaped cages starts to lower from the ceiling, everyone starts looking to see who’s inside and to their surprise Blaze is standing on top of the cage in a School girl outfit dancing and showing off to the crowd, Tragedy Ann is inside the cage and she is dancing as well and the arena is going crazy. As the cage sets down on the stage, Tragedy Ann opens the door to the cage and takes a step forward, Blaze steps onto her shoulders, the does a front flip and lands in a split in front of her on the stage.  She stands and they both dance for the crowd more and then they grab each other and start to kiss one another deeply and this cause all the men in the arena to start to cheer. After a long slow kiss they both walk to either side of the ramp leading to the ring, they both then lower their heads then raise their arms in a crucifix as the stage EXPLODES in a sea of smoke and lights. Purple and Red sparks start to shoot up from under the stage, and then Etan Cross voice booms in “Its Time to Hook’em to the Cross!”  The sounds of white noise and Radio static blast across the arena as Mexican Radio starts to Play.  Etan Cross steps from the back stage area and the crowd almost blows the roof off the arena as they scream and chant his name. Etan stops at the top of the ramp and lifts his arms in the air setting off sets of pyros behind him and shooting several rockets into the air. The three walk down to the ring, Tragedy Ann slides into the ring first, followed by Blaze, they each head to a different corner and stand on the middle rope playing to the crowd. Etan jumps over the top rope and does his “throat cut pose” the one he sometimes does before he uses his finisher “the Killer Cross”.  Tragedy walks over to the other side of the ring and motions for a mic, one of the sound guys at ring side toss one to her and she hands it to Etan then walks to a corner and stands looking at Blaze as the Anti-Hero prepares to speak.}

Etan:  Goode sense and Innocence Crippled Mankind……Dead kings, many things I could not find….how many lies can they tell me to keep me down………How many times can they kick me when im on the ground……N.O.W….your Anti-Hero is BACK!

{Once again the crowd explodes and starts to chant for Etan once more…..}

Etan:  Now first things first….It seems like ive hit a wall, First I lose my beloved Intercontinental Championship to the Extreme Assassin Outlaw, then I lose my title shot in the tournament a few weeks later……Ill admit I was down….I was as down as ive ever been….i haven’t felt that low in a long time.  I had even considered retiring because I felt like maybe I had lost my edge and once you start losing no one cares about you and you just become another name in the books…..Then Blaze pulled me to the side and reminded me of a very important fact, and that she told me was im a fool for staying out of the public eye and being upset like this because that is the first time in over 2 years that ive lost 2 matches in a row and im beating myself up for nothing, of course I realize she was right.  I got on the phone and gave a call to Richmond and let him know that I intend to be back and I promised him I would kick the ass of ANYONE he put in front of me…..and then to my surprise, look who are my first opponents back? Nicky Draiven and Marc McGee……

{Blaze and Tragedy Ann walk by one another and Tragedy stops to pop Blaze on the bottom getting cheers from the crowd.....}

 Etan:   Marc let me start with you…….I don’t know you, I don’t know anything about you, I don’t know your hopes….i don’t know your dreams for the future but I can tell you this…I know exactly where you will be after this match and that’s in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.  Im gonna make you an example of why Etan Cross is the defining force in the N.O.W and it ALL of wresting. I would go on but I can’t seem on think of one single reason why your worth my time…….McGee only ONE word will be needed to describe this match…only ONE word will be used to describe your physical state after the match and only ONE word is needed to tell you what will happen when you get in that ring….and that word…is PAIN! Now lets move on to little Nicky Draven. Every time I turn around there another Draven, Nicky, Aras hell maybe even Uncle Anus Draven will pay us a visit to the arena but it makes do difference. Bring the Dravens, bring all your brothers, bring all your sisters…..hell if they can make it this far without killing each other bring the WHOLE Draven family to the arena because for this ONE weekend, and this ONE weekend only the Dravens are my enemies, and what that means NO MATTER what Draven it is standing across that ring from me, the fact remains im gonna BEAT you, im gonna STOMP you, im gonna Hunt you im gonna Hurt you and everywhere you turn is gonna be Etan, Etan Etan, Cross, Cross, Cross kicken’ yo Ass! After this weekend when you drag your sorry cornbread and waffle eating ass back to Draven county West Virginia, or Kentucky or whatever inbread Redneck location your from, tell’em Etan Cross said Hi!! I want to send a message out to Enigma or Richard Adams whichever one of you two wins this tournament, i REALLY want you to enjoy it......I want you to take all the pictures you can, call your momma, call your daddy and let'em know that you climbed the mountain and your at the top of the N.O.W.  and REALLY enjoy that becasue once you come back to reality look into the sky.........you see those clouds moving in?  That is the vail of the Never ending season of Pain and you've already fallen into its shadow and very soon one of you will be holding something I want and the Anti-Hero is coming to take what is rightfully his..... That's right ladies.....sooner or later one of you will step into the ring to face me, and after that match has run its course, and one of you is being wheeled out to the ambulance screaming like a little bitch that is when its gonna hit'ya right in your face that is the time you and EVERY fan of the N.O.W. will know that

The Machine is on the Prowl and the Anti-Hero is on the rise........
