(?????  is once again out at his gym in Waterloo. He walks outside and goes over to his wrestling ring that he has once again set up. ????? steps into the ring and runs back and forth a few times, coming off of the ropes to test their tightness. ????? continues to check out the ring as a car pulls up in the parking lot behind him. Two cameramen get out of the back doors of the car as Kevin Smelly gets out of the passenger side, and the driver, King Nothing, gets out last. King Nothing heads over to the ring, followed by Kevin Smelly and his cameramen. ????? takes notice of the visitors and waves for King Nothing to come inside the ring.)

So you finally decided to show up huh?

(King Nothing slides under the bottom rope and stands up, walking over to shake hands with ?????.)

Yeah man, I ran into Smelly here, so I let him come along. He wants to have a chance at documenting all of this training and preparation we are doing for our respective matches at Collision.

That is totally cool with me as long as he doesn't get in the way or distract us too much. You hear that Smelly? Just do your very best that you can manage to keep out of the way of things. We have a lot to live up to at Collision, and the last thing we need is any distractions.

Okay guys, I'll stay back and out of your way. No problem here, just pretend that I am not even around. Although I would really, really appreciate the chance to ask a few questions at whatever times you guys see fit to answer them.

Maybe sometime later that can be arranged, right now I want to start doing some in ring training for this match.

Actually ?????, I got something from Kev that I though you would probably want to see.

Yeah really? What is it?

It is a tape from moments after our tag match at Mayhem against Canadian Perfect and The Assassin.

Wow, I had almost totally forgotten about all of that. I figured that we would never see anything from that. I guess you can always depend on Kevin Smelly having the resources of stuff like that. Well at least when he is involved in it himself.

Yeah, do you think you would like to go ahead and check it out now, before we go ahead and start all of this training?

That is a pretty good idea actually, I guess we could answer a few Smelly questions as well while we are in the gym watching it.

Cool. You hear that Kev?

Yeah, great plan you guys, I'm sure I will be able to come up with something to ask you.

Well let's go to the gym, no sense in wasting any time just standing out here.

(????? and King Nothing both exit the ring and join Kevin Smelly and the cameramen in walking to the gym. They all walk inside the gym and ????? walks to the back wall and grabs the T.V. He walks over and sets it on a small table in the middle of the room. He then grabs the VCR, placing it on top of the T.V.)

Hey King Nothing, grab two of those chairs over there so that you and Smelly will have some seats.

(King Nothing goes over to a corner and grabs two folding chairs for himself and Kevin Smelly. ????? grabs his folding chair and takes a seat in front of the T.V.)

Hey Smelly, where is the tape?

Uh, I forgot it out in the car, hold on a second.

(Kevin Smelly runs out of the gym and to the car to get the tape.)

How is it that only Smelly can manage to do dumb things like that every single time he turns around?

(Kevin Smelly runs back into the gym breathing hard and holding the tape.)

Here...here you go ?????.

Good job Smelly, now why don't we get this thing going?

(????? inserts the tape into the VCR and hits play. The tape plays blank screen for a few seconds before opening up into the footage from the end of Mayhem.)

BW: Here comes King Nothing, and he knocks Assassin off the apron, and then follows him to the outside!

King: Meanwhile, Canadian Perfect and Q5 are battling it out in the ring.

BW: Q5 takes advantage with some chops, and now the whip off the ropes.

King: Q5 telegraphs it, and Canadian Perfect counters right into The Perfect Move!

BW: This match has got to be over!

Brian Walker: Your winners of this bout, The Assassin and Canadian Perfect!

BW: The Assassin delivers a 187 to King Nothing on the outside for good measure!

King: What a match, what a night! We'll see you for Rage!

(Moments after the end of Mayhem, Kevin Smelly is shown on camera as he waits at the entrance way between the backstage area and the entrance ramp. A noticeably beaten up King Nothing suddenly steps through the curtain, followed by a visibly angry and frustrated ?????. Kevin Smelly intercepts the two to ask them a question.)

Hey guys, can I get any comments from you two on your match you just had in the big main event here on Mayhem?

(????? turns to Kevin Smelly and stares at him with a very annoyed look on his face.)

Smelly.....do you really think this is a good time to confront two guys who just got their asses handed to them out there in the ring and even outside of the ring?!?

I'm sorry ?????, I didn't know that you were so.....

Shut it up Smelly, now is the least of times for me to want to hear anything from you.

(King Nothing tries to calm down the much angrier ?????.)

Come on now ?????, Smelly is just doing his job. Remember, he gets a paycheck for being an annoying little guy running around asking questions about what is going on.

(????? is impacted by the words of King Nothing. He steps back a step or so away from Kevin Smelly and a lot less angry and intense look forms on his face.)

I guess you are right King, Smelly can't really help that he is annoying. I tell you what Smelly, if you can follow us to the Triple Zero locker room and keep your mouth shut until you get there, you can say whatever pleases you when we get in there.

Thank you very much ?????.

(?????, King Nothing, and Kevin Smelly head to the locker room. After a short walk through the hallways of the backstage of the Fleet Center they arrive at the door of the Triple Zero locker room. King Nothing and ????? walk into the Triple Zero locker room. Bill Ingram and Hiroyuki Morimoto are sitting in the room, still resting after their victory over El Locon and Chivo.)

Hey guys, me and Hiroyuki missed our chance to see your match, what happened?

Not much more than just a flat out asskicking.

So you two beat them pretty good huh?

More like the other way around Bill, we got beat like hell!

Oh, well that is a shame, but don't let it get you down. You two might have lost tonight, but Collision is still a good ways away. I'm betting you guys end up with a chance to avenge these losses at one point or another..

You are right, now that I've cooled down a little, I know that tonight was simply another footnote in all of these battles between me and Canadian Perfect that I am sure will continue as Collision gets closer and closer.

If I can interrupt here guys, what would you two say went wrong in the tag match tonight?

It might be easier to name what didn't go wrong, even though there were a few points in the match where I thought, and it probably looked like to everyone else, that we were taking control of the match. What little bit of control we might have had over the match just pretty much went to he!!. We screwed up pretty big tonight, I know we are a lot more capable of doing better than this demonstration we gave out there tonight.

Yeah, we could have done a lot more to not lose in that match. But now that it is over I think we shouldn't worry about it so much. Just like Bill said, we will get other chances, I'm sure. I wouldn't exactly say that The Assassin and Canadian Perfect got lucky. Winning matches isn't about luck. I think it comes down more to the two of us. I think we both were eventually destined to take a beating, and tonight was the night. There isn't anything we can do about it now, it is in the past where it belongs, the only thing to do now is look ahead to the next few shows that are coming up as we get closer and closer to Collision.

We do need to look forward like you said, but I think we need to look back as well. We need to take what happened tonight and use it as motivation and as a learning experience towards what we face at Collision. I want to take this loss tonight and turn it into a burning, intense reason to go back out there the next times we face them and lay down some serious amounts of a$$kicking on their a$$es. I know that my match at Collision is going to be a pure challenge from hell to win. Not only am I defending the GWA World Title against the leader of The Corporation, Chris Wrestling, I'm defending against Boomer as well. I mean, just think about it. A triple threat match, me and the two of them. I am also the one with the most to lose in this match, Canadian ImPerfect and Boomer are coming into this with a GWA World Title to possibly gain, and I am walking into this match with my GWA World Title that is going to be very, very hard to walk out with. I know good and well what kind of threat these two pose.

I've faced Canadian ImPerfect a couple of times now and it has become more apparent with each match I have had against him, just what all he is capable of. I've noticed how The Corporation works when one of their members are in a match too. I'm not sure how many matches I have had so far in the GWA where at some point a member of The Corporation comes to the ring to attack myself or someone else. Actually now that I think about it, I am yet to face Boomer in a match without outside interference from the Corporation. Whether it was at Ruler of the Ring, where DJ came out and screwed me over in having a chance at beating Boomer. Or when I faced Boomer for the GWA World Title and Chris Wrestling just had to show his face and come down to the ring. That match was the one that sparked this whole thing between myself, Boomer, and Canadian ImPerfect. I just have to wonder if Canadian Perfect will have any dirty little tricks up his sleeve at Collision. Of course I have to wonder just how effective any outside interference will be with the other Corporation members having to worry about not only me, but Boomer as well. I don't think that one little cowardly member of The Corporation such as DVD or either of the other two will want to show up out there all by their lonesome.

The Corporation stands for something, and that something isn't bravery or courage. They have the tendency to be cowardly and sneaky, looking for any opportunity to screw someone over. They are worse than snakes in the grass, they strike just the same, but do little when it comes to actually standing and fighting on their own and for themselves. Tonight was thankfully an exception to this, I got beat by the Corporation piece of crap named Chris Wrestling, but at least it was all with his own abilities. Because as much as I loathe and despise these bastard Corporation members, I do have to give them the credit that they deserve. Some of these guys are truly talented, and all of them have shown that they are more than capable of capturing some gold in the GWA. Canadian Perfect has really shown off just how badly he wants my GWA World Title, whether it is by means of cheating, or beating me fair and square in the center of the ring. I know how hungry he is for that belt, and I know how much it has to tear him up inside that some new punk just on the scene in the GWA did what he couldn't manage to do at Ruler of the Ring. I was able to go up against Boomer and come out as GWA World Champion, it took a lot to do, but I did it. I wouldn't even say that this guarantees that I have the ability to definitely go out there and beat Boomer at Collision, that might not be the case at all.

I believe that one single matchup that propelled me to the top of the GWA faster than possibly anyone before me was just mine to win. That night was simply mine, there are times when you are able to just step up and excel at what you do. That night on Mayhem was my defining moment, it was as if everything just came together as planned and I was able to triumph and take The GWA World Title for myself, taking it from the biggest Icon of the GWA, Boomer. Now I hope that my matches in the coming weeks leading up to Collision will once again help build me up to yet another defining moment. This moment stands to possibly be sweeter than when I first captured the GWA World Title. To walk both into and out of Collision as Champion would really show that me winning the GWA World Title was no fluke, it would show that I am capable of winning and keeping a title without help from anyone but myself, and it would show that I am worthy to be at the top rung of the ladder in The GWA, competing with guys like Boomer and Chris Wrestling.

It takes almost everything you can give in effort to make it to the top, but it takes so much more to stay there. To win a belt like The GWA World Title takes serious and focused effort. But to hold onto it when facing two guys the likes of Boomer and Canadian ImPerfect, I am afraid that is going to take all that I have and even more. The question that could be asked is will I have enough of what it takes to defeat them? I couldn't make any promises or guarantees on that either. It is obvious that I have what it takes to get myself to the top of the ladder, but I cannot truthfully be one hundred percent sure of myself and my ability to hold back both Boomer and Canadian Perfect. What if they are simply too much for me to handle in that Triple Threat match? What if I can manage to hold my own against one of them, to only turn around and be taken out by the other. There are so many questions that could be asked as to what may or may not happen at Collision in that Main Event. They will only finally get answered when I stand in the ring at Collision opposite Chris Wrestling and Boomer. We will have our match, and then after it is over, something will have been proven then and there.

I know it would say so very much for me if I can manage to defend myself and my GWA World Title at Collision. It would show that I am worthy as a GWA World Champion, it would show that I am worthy as a main event competitor in the GWA. It would show that I have what it takes to continue to stay at the top for a long time to come. With that one win, I believe I would have shown more of what I can do than with what I have done since winning the World Championship. It seems that everything I have worked for is all coming to a point at Collision. The path of my career in the GWA could go anywhere after the main event at Collision. Will I remain GWA World Champion and continue to do my best to defend it? Will I fail to win the match and once again have to try my best to gain the World Title back for myself? Or will I fail and the loss change my mind as to what title I would like to pursue next? Sometimes a big loss will take you and put you in a state of mind where you reconsider just what it is you really want to pursue. Now if I do happen to not deliver what it takes to win and I walk away from Collision without the GWA World Title that is currently mine, I have no clue at this moment if I will have the determination it takes to go right back after the GWA World Championship. I believe other opportunities might lie ahead for me if I should lose The GWA World Title. My career in the GWA is still young, and there are a lot of things that still lie ahead for me to achieve.

Now don't think that I am giving up on my chances of winning already just because of a little loss on Mayhem guys, the fact is that I am far from that point. I am just being intelligent about this and taking all possibilities into account. I know I have limits, and I know that at any time in that match things could turn against me too quickly for me to respond and stop it from happening. I just know that to plan ahead would be the best strategy I could want to have for this point. I hope to come to Collision as focused and prepared as I could ever truly want to be. To just simply go to the main event at Collision, and to to even be focused and prepared enough to have a chance against those two is going to take some serious work on my part. Training for my match, and studying my every strategy in and outside of the ring. I have plans for getting some training in before Collision arrives. The other part will be to study all the things that can and might impact the Triple Threat GWA World Title Match. I will have to do more than my share when it comes to watching everything that takes place around me in the upcoming shows before Collision.

I'm sure there are those who believe I won't be able to pull it off. They might like to think that there is no way the inexperienced new guy who goes by the strange name of ????? can have a chance in a match against two guys who are truly veterans and legends of the GWA. They believe that I have had luck on my side up to this point, and that my luck has run out on this little Championship run and that the Collision that is to come will be a huge drop away for me as I falter to the likes of the two GWA veterans. Could they possibly be right in any of those assumptions that could be made about me?

My point is that there are only two people whose opinions on this will truly have an effect on me and the match, and I think you know that the two I am talking about are of course Boomer and Canadian Perfect. Now I know that Boomer, just like me, tends to usually have a modicum of respect for most all of his opponents. Rivalry or not over the fact of the competition for The GWA World Title, both myself and Boomer still have that respect that makes for truly great competition in the ring.

Of course then you have Chris Wrestling, or as I would prefer to now call him, Canadian ImPerfect. I'm sure that in between all of his raving about his supposed perfection and greatness, he might choose to talk about how little of a threat or challenge I will pose to him. This is something from him that I have adjusted too, it is simply expected to hear all of that bull you-know-what from him. But as it has been said so many times before, there isn't much larger of a mistake than underestimating your competition on any kind of level. It is a simple mistake that it seems some will never learn from this. I guess if Chris Wrestling wants to continue to underestimate his opponents foolishly, he can do it no better than to take the Main Event at Collision as lightly as he does all of his other challenges. Maybe he will learn his lesson then, because I know I am planning to take any opportunity and opening that presents itself in our match.

(????? finishes talking to Kevin Smelly as everyone else in the locker room just sits there in awe at the amount of things ????? had to say. ????? pops his neck and then turns around and walks to the door of the locker room, stopping just before he gets there and giving everyone the Triple Zero hand sign before opening the door and leaving.)

Okay......wow.....I guess I got more of an answer than I was looking for their.....

(The camera fades out.)

Well, that is all of it.

(The tape stops playing and King Nothing walks over and ejects it. ????? sits quietly in his chair, seemingly buried in deep thought.)

So, ?????, what exactly are you planning for this training of yours and King Nothing's?

............

Uh, ??????

..........oh, what?

I was asking you something.

Oh.......well.......Smelly......why don't you and King here head outside and to the ring, I'll be out there in a few short moments.......

Yeah, let's go Kev, see you in a little while ?????.

......Yeah, sure......

(King Nothing and Kevin Smelly walk out of the gym as ????? quietly sits and thinks. He rubs his face and then stands up. He grabs his GWA World Championship and looks down at it.)

It is all coming down to this.....
