}}They're back. The Old School Empire is back. This effort has been made possible by minimal funding from Late Nite Productions, Inc. and maximum funding from uh...Big Willie-Isms' Credit Card Company...Do not be alarmed by whatever you think might be alarming.{{
}}The last that we ever heard from Seth was...well that's a good question. And now he's back here. This time however, instead of being in the hunt for the World Title, he is now re-inserted into the Lightheavyweight Division. In the back of his mind still reside the dreams and hopes of being the World Champ. Those dreams will be fulfilled, but currently, he must focus on newcomer Doc Holiday. However, Seth isn't the only one booked in a match for this Death Row Special. His stable-mates, Rancid and Derian Deniot, more commonly known as Simply Awesome are involved in a handicap match. They face the bold, brave, but possibly stupid Trey Hamlyn. It has truely been quite some time since we heard from the co-holder of the Tag Team Championships. And now that they're back, they elect to make their on-screen return to the Fed of X-treme with an interview that is conducted by normal Ring Announcer, Beth Smith. They stand in the back hallway, the camera is slightly tilted at an angle, to show the rest of the hallway. Behind the Trio of Heroes, a stack of tables and iron pipes sits. To the side are Ice Chests and a table set up with samples of upcoming merchandise for the ShopZone. Beth signals to the camera man, and the interview begins.{{
--BETH SMITH-- Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm standing by here with the returning Old School Empire. As most of you know, the group's leader, "The Prince of Old School" Seth Calvert has a match against uprising star Doc Holiday. Seth, it's been some time since we've seen you in the ring. Where have you been all this time, and do you think that you're out-of-ring time is going to have any influence at all on your match?
--SETH CALVERT-- You like to talk a lot don't you? The answer to question number one, I've been doing more promotional and scouting for the DRWF. You've noticed that many, MANY new stars have come up here? During my roundabouts as a DRWF Representative, what with my slowly healing knee and all, I scouted some talent, and asked them to come up for a tryout. The result is what you see here before you. Now, Doc Holiday, I didn't acquire. I don't know who did, and I don't know anything about him. Wait, no, I stand corrected. I remember hearing about this guy. He can be known as the "Lightheavyweight" King in some books because he's won so many Lightheavyweight TItles. Aside from that, I know nothing. However, everyone who's anyone knows that I wouldn't dare take an opponent for granted. If he got accepted into the DRWF, I look for great things to come from him, and I expect a spectacular match. As for ring rust? On this turf, I'd say that the Doc and I are quite evenly matched. I've been out for a few weeks, and he hasn't played on this field.
--BETH SMITH-- Seth, you mentioned your slowly healing right leg. Have you been to a doctor for that, and if you have, what did he say? Will it be a point given to Doc Holiday in the match?
--SETH CALVERT-- I did in fact go see a doctor while I was away. He said that the leg, at a good estimate is probably around Sixty-Five to Seventy-Five percent right now. I've learned to battle through tougher injuries than this however Beth, and this is just another obstacle in my way. Doc Holiday will come to learn as time goes on that we here at Death Row don't succumb to injuries that often. When we do, it means something severe is wrong. Like I said, I've been through worse. I was perforated by barbs, blown up, and abused by Morder Hunde. Those in themselves say something. There are no matches here in the DRWF where someone automatically starts with a "point". If Holiday thinks that an injury is going to keep the "Prince of Old School" out...he's gonna be in for a world of hurt come Sunday.
--BETH SMITH-- Thank you. Now, we get to Simply Awesome. Trey Hamlyn has apparantly wanted to prove himself to the Front Office, and figures that this is one of the ways to do it. He will take on the team of Derian Deniot and Rancid at Streets of Rage. Um, I assume that you, Derian, are going to be talking for the team.
--DERIAN DENIOT-- How right you are my hot-mutha of the tempting devil! But does this Too Sweet team need any words? Nothing except for Simply Awesome. This Trey Hamlyn dude...what in the Manage Trois has gone wrong with his mind? He wants to take on this team? Look at us Beth...pay attention. On this side, my right side, you have a man...no, not even a man, a Man-STER who can willingly rip someone in half without even realizing it until the opponent realizes that he's gone. And standing in front of you Beth Smith...is Two-Hundred and Forty pounds of "The Sex Icon of the Northeast" that we call Derian Deniot. What is Trey Hamlyn you may ask? I don't know either. Trey Hamlyn...Word Association folks. When I hear Trey Hamlyn, I think of a pencil-pushing geek who had one friend to save his life, and he's busy doing something else and probably won't be out there supporting him. Trey Hamlyn to me means someone who should be dealin' out water bottles to the local High School football team, whilst getting towel-whipped by number Fifty-One, trying to get his books out. You have that scrawny piece of un-charasmatic work versus Simply Awesome? It makes me realize why we accepted this match in the first place. No, it's not because I wanted to let the ladies know that The Double D can handle two-on-ones. No, it's not because Rancid here wanted to snap the neck of an unsuspecting little man. No, the reason why we accepted this match...was because we needed a laugh. Trey, we'll see you at Streets of Rage...stand in line behind the billions of others who want to be just like us.
--BETH SMITH-- Powerful words there Derian. Seth, another thing that we've noticed is that Mr. Late Nite, El Presidente, has renewed the friendship between you two. Do you think that sometime before this contest is over, that he might add something to the match that would favor you?
--SETH CALVERT-- I would most certainly hope not. I, as the Prince of Old School would not need any help GIVEN to me by the Boss. If I've EARNED it in anyway however, well, what comes will come. Doc Holiday, I will win this match fair and square. I am the "Prince of Old School" and you will find out why they call me such. This Lightheavyweight Division, which has remained dormant for so long will now be resurrected by a legend in making. And then, when all is said, I will go after the World Championship.
--BETH SMITH-- Thank you. This is the Old School Empire. Come Sunday at Streets of Rage, they will be involved in matches of large proportions. Seth Calvert will take on Doc Holiday as the Lightheavyweight Division returns to action, and Simply Awesome shall take on Trey Hamlyn in a special Handicap Match. This is Beth Smith reporting for DRWF News.
