{Platinum Perry} " Hey Seth. I see you're not up and about like you usually are...of course, that might have something to do with that nearly broken leg...What'd the doctor say?"

{Seth Calvert} "Said that any weight on it before the Pay Per View and it'll snap. Absolute fun. He said that two days before the Pay Per View is when this leg should be okay enough to WALK on. Cripes man...don't know what I'm gonna do. You're here for an interview aren't you? Yeah, I figured as much. Let me start. Did you hear Matt Budai again? That just gave me a headache...for cryin' out loud, I wish the guy would actually make some sense."

{Platinum Perry} " What did Matt say?"

{Seth Calvert} "Budai said that I'm a "Coward" because Neo and Hellraiser came out during my match when he was about to "make sure I understood that He's going to make my career shatter". What the hell was he gonna do? You saw the Pay Per View...right? "

{Platinum Perry} " Oh yeah. You gotta admit...it was a smart move on Edwards' part..."

{Seth Calvert} "Good. I know it was. But gee, it didn't look like Budai was gonna "Make me understand anything" except that he knew how to throw a towel. You saw what happened. Mr. Late Nite saw Budai and grinned. And then just as Budai was gonna "show me somethin'", Neo and Hellraiser came down to make sure that the match was fair. Cowardice on my part? How the hell was I supposed to know that "Little Boy Bu" was gonna pick his lazy ass up from the back and drag it out there to throw a towel? And he says I'm a coward for asking friends who wanted to stop the Elite Alliance anyway to make sure that all was fair...you ask me, he's a few cans short of a six pack. At least, the whole making the match fair was Neo's idea. Hellraiser....yeah I saw him chokeslam Late Nite. He's on his own agenda. He came out cause Neo came out, and since Budai and Myz were knockin' on Neo...he decided to do something fun. Good thing he came out and helped Neo though. Do you understand anything this guy says? He talks like he can do something in the ring...he ain't even had a match in this federation. My suggestion to him is SHUT UP. Stay home and be a family man. Oh yeah, and he says that Double D made a mistake...ha. Ask me, he doesn't know who he's going up against. And boys? Them? Budai's got a few more screws to go before he's completely built. Budai is not what you would call the smartest person alive Perry. He wanted to know who called me the Prince of Old School...like I said...it was Corino himself."

{Platinum Perry} "You said that you were going to talk about something at a later time when you were bein' interviewed by that Doctor with the funny name. What was it?"

**Seth once again looks at the band on his left wrist. It is marked with the Crown of the King of Old School. He remembers the training he had at The Monster Factory in Westville, New Jersey. He remembers leaving the school after Steve Corino came there as a guest and saw the potential that Seth Calvert had. Seth smiles and adjusts his position...this causes the bone in his leg to twinge, and Seth thinks better of moving.**

{Seth Calvert} "This wrist band was given to me by Steve Corino. After training for three months at the Monster Factory up in New Jersey, Steve Corino came by to talk with us and observe us. Sure the other kids had talent, but I could tell that when he saw me, his eyes lit up. After that day, Steve came up to me and asked if I'd like to train with him sometime. Of course, I gladly accepted...I mean, this was a real PRO! One that you saw on TV and looked up to. So I called him later in the week, and we set up a time. For SIX years I trained with him. Six years...he praised me, repremanded me, helped me, criticized me. Soon enough, I got this band, and he christened me the Prince of Old School. I got my break here in the DRWF...figuratively and literally. Budai asked who called me that. I just answered it. What the hell kind of a name is Budai? He sure as hell doesn't look like a non-American...he looks like a pansy hiding behind a housekeeper. I don't know why this guy doesn't like me. Maybe he's looking for some credibility by taking on a former World Champ. Smart move...that's the good thing to do if you want credibility. Then again...to earn that recognition, you have to prove yourself in the ring. Quite frankly Perry, I think all his martial arts background and amateur wrestling doesn't really cut it here. I'm willing to take this phony on...hell, if he wants to do it before Late Nite Live, I'll do it before Late Nite Live, busted leg or not. Matt's walking himself into a tunnel where there's no escape. He's got me figured all wrong."

{Platinum Perry} " You mentioned one Matt. What about the other Matt that I'm sure you're very well acquainted with...our C.E.O. Matt Fisher? "

{Seth Calvert} " Well, I don't know how exactly they're gonna work this out with him facing Derian and Rancid. But they'll think of something. And in no way at all do I hold him responsible for putting another loss in my column."

{Platinum Perry} " What about Neon at LNL? You've got a seven foot monster to face at that Pay Per View, and everyone knows you won't be at One-Hundred Percent. "

{Seth Calvert} " Hell, I know that. But Neon? I haven't heard much from him. Granted, he's probably a damn good competitor. But what's gonna happen when we don't hear from him? Of course, sometimes a strategy used is just for someone to wait until the other man thinks it's safe, and then move in for the kill. I'm wary. Sometime or another, Neon's going to show himself, and start talking. Don't know when, don't know how, don't know where. He'll do it though. I'll be ready at the PPV."

{Platinum Perry} " Thanks for your time Seth. You better get to resting. Any last comments?"

{Seth Calvert} " I don't think that there are Perry. Thanks for interviewing me. Next time you hear from me, I'll probably be up on crutches. Hopefully this damn thing'll heal faster than anyone thinks."

**Perry bids Seth his farewell and walks out the door. The trainer comes back into the room to check on the tender right leg of Seth. The scene fades out to go to another area in the arena...**

**The scene fades in from the top of the locker room. A triangle of chairs is set up, each one with an occupant. The chair at the top of the triangle is where the C.E.O. Matt Fisher sits. To his right, "The Sex Icon of the Northeast" Derian Deniot is seated. Next to him, completing the triangle with his head down and apparantly asleep, is Derian's partner, Rancid. Next to Rancid's chair, a bottle of whiskey sits. It's empty, and has been for quite some time. Rancid walked in a while ago a tad tipsy. The scene has faded in just as Rancid has sat down. The C.E.O. and Derian look at each other before Fish gets up. He returns from the bathroom with a cup of ice water and another tonic bottle. He sets the tonic bottle in front of Rancid, who, thinking it's alcohol, sucks down enthusiastically...he's given a startle, and then another one as Fish chucks the cup of Ice Water in his face.**

{C.E.O. Matt Fisher} "I don't understand. How is this gonna work again Derian? I mean, if this guy's in the ring, and if he ain't sober enough to compete, he's not gonna give a damn who's in the ring, and he's gonna beat the living hell outta me! And I'm sure that none of my teammates are exactly going to help me out against a Seven foot tall animal. And what did you say you were going to do? You were gonna touch me and I was gonna fall?"

{Derian Deniot} "Yeah. You know, the Finger of Doom? That way, no one has to get hurt."

{C.E.O. Matt Fisher} "WHAT? Oh sure, no one on your side gets hurt, but what about me? You think my team's going to show no mercy on me? NO! My team wants to win...how about you do the Finger o' Doom thing?"

{Derian Deniot} "Huh? Nah ah...man, I can't do that...I've already got a couple losses on my record...I don't want any more..."

**This bickering continues on...it goes back and forth on who's going to do what...Rancid even pops in with a random useless comment of "WHY DO BIRDS SUDDENLY EXPLODE???" After the interruption, the bickering continues. What are Derian, Matt, and Rancid going to do? Will Derian persuade Matt? Will Matt use his executive power over Derian? Will Rancid get over it and stop drinking? Who knows? The scene fades out the same way it faded in...**

**This is where the fans see the action. Inside the ring, they see the greatest assembly of talent ever to be gathered inside the squared circle. From Jackhammer and Mr. Late Nite, to SiN Jacobs and Myzery, these people give it their all just to please the fans (well, that and earn a nice large paycheck as well...but it's mainly for the fans...). From the beginning, legends have stepped forth into the ring of Death Row. Prozac Jack, Saint Steve, Top Gun, Enforcer, HBK, IcE, Tommy Dreamer, Taz, Raven, Jonny Cash, Kid Carmichael and Chris Muriel, The Roma Family, and The Dark Degenerates...a match between two of the up and comers in the DRWF has just taken place, and no one stands in the ring. Slated next is a promo for the two returning legends of the DRWF...**

..::>Chris Warren<::.. "ARE YOU READY??? Ehhh you think you can tell us what to do?? You think you can tell us what to wear? You think that you're better? Well y'better get ready....Bow to the masters....BREAK IT DOWN!!!"

**"Break it Down" by The Chris Warren Band starts up as the fans give an enormous pop and a standing ovation for the two legends who stand on the ramp. Standing above the fans and looking out at the crowd are the Former Tag Team Champions (who knows how many times we've held them), the Dark Degenerates. Neo himself has once held the United States Championship...or was it twice? And Hellraiser is a former World Champion. Hellraiser proceeds to the left side of the stage and Neo to the left...they begin to taunt the crowd with the infamous Crotch Chops that has made Degeneration X the most recognized stable in the DRWF. The two meet in the middle and high five each other before proceeding down the ramp, slapping hands with as many of the fans as they possibly can. Neo hops up on the rampside of the ring apron while Hellraiser walks around to the Announcer's side and climbs up. Neo gets in the ring between the second and top rope while Hellraiser climbs over. Neo takes center ring and Hellraiser gets behind him as the most famous entrance (well...besides Big Willie-Isms' at the PPV...that kicked ass!!!!) in the DRWF starts....

BANG! BANG! BANG...........BANG!!!!!

**Neo and Hellraiser pop the crotch chops as the Green "X" shaped fireworks go off in the neon green light. This draws people to the top of their voices, screaming and hollering for Degeneration X. As the music dies down, chants of "DX! DX! DX! DX!" and "SUCK IT! SUCK IT! SUCK IT! SUCK IT!" start up and grow louder and louder until the entire arena is filled with the chants. Neo smiles in the ring and nudges Hellraiser to look at all the signs saying "WELCOME BACK!" and "DEGENERATION X 4 EVER!" and "DARK DEGENERATES FOR LIFE!" Neo makes a "push down" motion with his hands and he quiets the crowd down. He smiles and speaks into the mic and the fans who have not heard Neo's voice for so long now listen attentively.**

..::>Neo<::.. "HELLLLLLOOOOOOOO SOUTH CAROLINA! DEGENERATION X IS IN THE HIZ-HOUUUUUUUUUUUUSE!!!! Now...let's see if we can't make a little noise...where? UP IN THIS BIOOOOOOOOOOOTCH!!!!! **Crowd pops like insanity** YOU DAAAAAAMN RIGHT! Now...let's see if ya'll remember this...LLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN BOYS AND GIRLS, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES! THE DRWF PROUDLY PRESENTS...IT'S FORMER UNITED STATES, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT, AND TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOOOOORRRRRRLLLLLLLLD! NEO....HELLRAISER...THE DARK...DEGENERATES!!!!" **By the way...for those that didn't know...this was all chanted along with by the crowd...**

..::>Hellraiser<::.. "AND FOLKS...IF YOU AIN'T DOWN WITH THAT...WE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA!!!!"

..::>Crowd and DX<::.. "SUCK IT!!!!!!!!"

..::>Neo<::.. "Aww hell yeah. Now we are out here to talk on some folks who we understand have been giving our little buddy Seth Calvert and the Old School Empire trouble. These folks would be known as the Elite Alliance. Of course, we heard that Moro wasn't heading it anymore...but he's been giving Death Row a bad time...hiring and firing people left and right such as Joey Styles...man, we miss that guy. But Hellraiser here, decided to cut the guy some slack after that deadly match he participated in. So what we got here is a situation in which Hellraiser and this dude SiN Jacobs are taking on Ryda. Big deal...now, call me stupid, but before we get to Hellraiser talkin' about this match of his...who won Hell on Earth? I've got some heavy reports saying Isms...I got some heavy reports saying Moro...who knows? Neither one of them got up before the ten count. So the purpose for which we were brought here isn't here anymore. Why are we here? Matt Budai my friends. He made one single comment, and it sealed his fate. Calling us little bastards....saying we should run from this shitwad of a pussy...calling us out, saying that he's better than us...big, big, BIG mistake Matty."

..::>Hellraiser<::.. "Matty, you may not have heard of us, but that's because you're a young, stupid upstart. You don't know any better. You don't have a clue who you're messing with. I suggest to you that you pick your ass up and get the hell out of Dodge. One more verbal threat from you, and all hell is gonna break loose. Now, if you back up that bigass mouth of yours in the ring...we might have respect for you. But seeing as you ain't had ONE single match in the DRWF...SHUT THE HELL UP. You ain't the shit, you won't be the shit, but you'll end up bein' a pile of shit with that attitude of yours. You show us what you can do in the ring tomorrow, and we'll stop ratting on you for your oversized mouth. Your ego's bigger than your woman's pay for sex, and that ain't gonna get you anywhere here. So, "BOY" as you so stupidly called us, shut up until you do something. And then we have Ryda tomorrow. We being SiN Jacobs and myself. Granted, I'd rather team up with my Degenerate pal here, but I've got to make do with what I'm given. I actually like this Jacobs person. I've seen him in the ring, and he can back up what he says...unlike Budai...so I'll feel pretty good teaming with him. As for Ryda...hey, nothin' personal...I ain't got no beef with you...in fact, I'm rather proud you did what you did...But you don't give a shit now do you? Tomorrow, know that when you step in the ring, you've got a damn tough job on your hands. My prediction is that you're going down hard. Take that to mind Ryda, and get ready, because tomorrow, you just might be taking your last ride. And Matt Budai..."

..::>Neo<::.. "Have fun in your match tomorrow. You win, congratulations...you lose, you shut the hell up. And for the remains of the Elite Alliance, you ain't gonna last long. AND TO EVERYONE IN THE DRWF...DEGENERATION X IS HERE TO STAY, AND WE'RE GONNA RISE TO THE TOP...AND GOD KNOWS, WE DAMN SURE LIKE IT ON TOP! AND IF YOU AIN'T DOWN WITH THAT, WE GOT TWO F**KIN' WORDS FOR YA!!!!!!"

**Neo holds the mic up as the crowd screams "SUCK IT!" and "Break it Down" starts up. Neo goes to the turnbuckle and stands on the second pad holding his hands in an "X" above his head. Hellraiser stands on the second rope crotch chopping the crowd as everywhere you look, you see hands going up in the shape of an "X". As Neo and Hellraiser leave the scene, our camera fades out...**
