[Makin' Deals and Payin' Bills]

~*The cameras open up in a gym in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. After storming out of his home, Sean Andretti decided to take a long drive all the way out to Toronto to meet with one of his close friends Raymond Storm. Sean took the drive out there so that him and Storm could make up for lost times. He also decided to drive out there so that he could train with Raymond to prepare for his match against Judah Walton on Wednesday Night WILD. He thought that training with Raymond and bringing up the old days would help let off some steam he may have had. Sean Andretti missed the days of roughing up his old pal and Raymond missed bringing Sean back to reality. In the wrestling world, they were always at each others throats...both pushing the other to their limit. Andretti - or known as Rage at the time - was always the arrogant one in this friendship, always stating the impossible and it was usually Storm who brought him back to the truth. To reality. Raymond and Andretti both Canadian came from different worlds but met up at the infamous Stu Hart's Dungeon. In fact, these two men were one of the last few people to see Stu before he passed. And so back to the gym Andretti went but this time it was for a purpose. The purpose was for this Wednesday in front of a sold crowd in Greensboro, North Carolina. The purpose for heading back to the gym was to blow off some steam that Judah Walton caused...and the most important purpose...was to win. Sean Andretti and Raymond Storm were in the ring together working on several headlocks and ring tosses. Just some minor stuff until Andretti got up from placing in a front face headlock on Storm when he decided to make it interesting.~*

The Canadian Sensation: Cut...cut...cut.

Raymond Storm: You want to stop now? But we've been doin' this for the last 45 minutes.

The Canadian Sensation: I know, I know. So, why don't we up the ante and make it like the old days. It's been awhile since I've seen you in action and it's been awhile since I've have a good match like this one. Hell, we never really fought before...so why not have a match right here.

Raymond Storm: Sounds like a plan, so what's the rules?

The Canadian Sensation: There aren't any rules, we just wrestle until a three count. I hope your ready to meet your fate.

Raymond Storm: There's just one problem Sean.

The Canadian Sensation: What's the problem?

Raymond Storm: There's no referee.

The Canadian Sensation: Oh.....yeah. Don't you have any one near here who knows wrestling?

Raymond Storm: Nah, it is pretty late Sean. People have things to do.....and you know.....jobs in the morning.

The Canadian Sensation: Right. I'm not working tommorrow.

~*Raymond Storm rolls his eyes and smacks Andretti upside his head.~*

Raymond Storm: Not you...you idiot. Me.

The Canadian Sensation: You...have a job? (Laughs) Your kidding right?

Raymond Storm: Very funny Sean. No I'm not kidding, it's late, I have to work. I'm heading back home, lock up when your done.

The Canadian Sensation: Alright, later.

~*Raymond tosses the keys to gym to Sean, throws on his coat and heads out into the snowy Toronto night. On his way out, he meets with Jeffery Archibald who has no coat on and is freezing his butt off.~*

Raymond Storm: Hey, Jeff...it's kind of cold out here don't you think you need a coat?

Jeffery Archibald: Bite me.

~*Jeffery Archibald keeps walking until he enters the gym where Sean Andretti is sitting down lifting weights. Sean looks focused and he speeds up the process a little more. Archibald slowly walks up to Andretti with a concerned look on his face but Sean doesn't pay him any attention and continues lifting his weights.~*

Jeffery Archibald: Sean...what happened to you man?

The Canadian Sensation: Nothing happened.

Jeffery Archibald: Nothing happened?.....Sean you just left without telling anyone anything.

The Canadian Sensation: So how'd you find me?

Jeffery Archibald: That isn't the point. Sean, do you even know who I am to you?

The Canadian Sensation: Remind me again...I'm starting to forget why you are even here.

Jeffery Archibald: (Sighs) Sean I'm your manager...and most importantly I'm your friend. You should let me know where your going.

The Canadian Sensation: Alright Archie, I'm sorry.

Jeffery Archibald: Well it's alright. The real reason I came here was because of some good news.

The Canadian Sensation: So what's the news?

Jeffery Archibald: Well you know about that contract I've been negotiating?

The Canadian Sensation: Yeah?

Jeffery Archibald: Well let me introduce to you.....the newest man to sign a deal with the Nike corporation.........that would be you!!!!!

The Canadian Sensation: Whoa, what?

Jeffery Archibald: You heard it right. They called after you left and said that they had agreed to our 3 year, 74 million dollar deal.

The Canadian Sensation: No...fucking...way.

Jeffery Archibald: Oh yeah Sean. And you've got no one to thank but me. Your gonna be making 74 million dollars for Nike!

The Canadian Sensation: We are in the money.....now someone.....please tell me.....who is the real athlete here.

Jeffery Archibald: That athlete would be none other than you.

The Canadian Sensation: I mean come on Jeff, we all know that the Nike Corporation is way better than what Gatorade or what Slappy's can offer.

Jeffery Archibald: Your damn right. I was getting sick of hearing about Slappy's. Slappy's this...and Slappy's that. That cardboard piece of crap...who wants to waste their money on that.

The Canadian Sensation: Wait a minute.....didn't you order Slappy's at the party?

Jeffery Archibald: Well....uh....(Looking around for an answer) that was because all the other stores were closed.

The Canadian Sensation: Sure they were. The fact of the matter is, Nike made a good choice when they decided to sign me. And Knite (Looks into a nearby camera) there is no way you can top that. You can't give me a larger company than Nike. The sports apparell for all the elite athletes in sports.....and they gave a deal to the epitome of all the elite. Nike offered a deal to the epitome of excellence and I'll show all of Nike that their 74 million dollars won't go to waste.

Jeffery Archibald: Yeah...and for all of you nitwits out there in the CHZ who think they can try and top a deal with Nike...try again. Now Sean.....you tell me.....who's gonna be the real Michael Jordan of the ring?

The Canadian Sensation: Oh.....I have no idea..........ME!!!!!

Jeffery Archibald: Your damn right.

The Canadian Sensation: And Ryan Knite, you know Gatorade has got nothing on Nike. I mean look at who we had...or currently have. Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, LeBron James. All of these guys are hall of fame caliber and Knite you tell me, whenever you walk out of your house and go to wherever the hell it is you go, what are the people wearing on their feet? Jeffery Archibald: Reebok?

The Canadian Sensation: (Laughs) Let's be serious here.

Jeffery Archibald: Adidas?

The Canadian Sensation: Next!

Jeffery Archibald: Oooooh, I know now.....let me guess.....Nike!!!!!

The Canadian Sensation: .....Ex...actly.

Jeffery Archibald: But what about Gatorade Sean?

The Canadian Sensation: What about it?.....you haven't seen a damn Gatorade commercial in nearly three years. Whereas your seeing Nike sneakers and advertisements everyday. And soon enough, you'll be seeing the Canadian Sensation on there too.

Jeffery Archibald: Has Steven Hulin even been paid by Slappy's for the advertising he did?

The Canadian Sensation: Who knows.....who cares? I know these two men are jealous of me now. I'm rolling in the dough and I now have a new 74 million dollar contract I can waive in their face while they walk around with nearly nothing. Let's be honest...Gatorade and Slappy's can't touch Nike. Never could and never will. During the Michael Jordan era, Nike put their hopes on Jordan so that their name could get in the lights.....now Nike put their future in the hands of one man....and that man is me.

Jeffery Archibald: And you don't dissappoint. Look at what Jordan came out to be.....and in a few years.....you'll be up their with Jordan.....maybe even better.

The Canadian Sensation: But Jeff there ain't nothing to it but to.....

Both Men: JUST DO IT!!!
