{{The show comes back from a break on the special Sunday Night Countdown to Nightmares, with the pre-show broadcast team of Sammy Williams and Thor standing in one of the private luxury boxes in the SWF Arena, in the most storied arena in the United States, Madison Square Garden, in New York. The two are given their cues to go back to discussing the event soon to begin by the cameraman, as the commercials end.}}

Sammy: Welcome back to Countdown to Nightmares, and I am Sammy Williams, with my partner in crime here, Thor. And this is truly going to be a night you WONT want to miss. And you still have time to order Nightmares! It's not started yet. So call up your local digital cable provider and tell them you want Nightmares, and they'll plug you right in!

Thor: But lets talk briefly about the huge main event we've got planned for you folks who watch tonight. Markus Katastrophik, in what has been a storied past with former best friend, and former partner SyxxPac. These two have entered the ring against each other time and time before, but never has it meant so much, and never has such hostility been brewed up between these two superstars in this sport. 

Sammy: You've got a point there. These two have taken this sport to an entirely new dimension each and every time they went one-on-one in the ring. And tonight I expect to see it taken to an entirely new level. It's two of the most innovative men in this sport today, and it's going to take quite a bit of innovation to overcome the other! 

Thor: Well we saw just a little bit ago with the footage shown with SyxxPac that this has almost taken on a personal aspect from our standpoint, but also, it just seems as though these men are trying to play psychological games with the other. At least SyxxPac is, Markus is reasonably laid back, yet still determined, more than ever. 

Sammy: But that's what's to be expected from the Champ here. Not because he's the champion, but because that is Markus' personality, laid back until its time to go. But we're now being told that we're about to get a visit from the SWF World's Heavyweight Champion himself.

{{The lights dim down and the sounds of marching footsteps to a beat are drowned out by Lilith Evan's announcing.}}

Lilith Evan: Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time, about to make his way to the ring, the SWF Heavyweight Champion, Markus Katastrophik!

{{The little bit of crowd that's all ready inside the arena and at their seats rise in cheers as the black curtains to the back fling wide open and out steps Markus Katastrophik, the Championship slung proudly over his right shoulder. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp, puts a hand around the strap of the title and raises it high into the air. After a moment, Markus walks down the ramp, as fans rush to the guard railing to reach out as he slaps fans hands. Finally he takes quick strides up the steel ring steps and makes his way into the ring between the middle and top ropes. 

He walks over to Lilith Evan in the center of the ring, as she hands over the microphone. Markus pulls up his black Adidas warm-up pants and re-adjusts the title over his shoulder, before raising the mic to his lips to speak.}}

Markus: The time for words have come and gone Syxx. Tonight, all the talk ceases, and the time to knuckle up arrives. It feels like we've done this before. And the memories of doing this same thing are all too clear, and painful. If I knew then, what I know now, there's the slight possibility I would've beaten you. But what happened has brought me to the place I stand, with a title I cherish so much, and to a crossroads. It's go time Syxx. We've circled this wagon over and over. And you've learned from each turn. And just as you have, so have I. You believe you're advantages over me are going to propel you to Champion. And you have this warped interpretation that you're going to take this title from my shoulder. 

And when it's all come down to the better man, crunch time...and you're left to wonder what you did wrong, and how you managed to let this one slip through your fingertips, how you've had my number, time after time again...and when it mattered most, you weren't able to GET THE JOB DONE...SyxxPac, when you're left to search for your angel in the snow...then, and only then...will this be finished.

So while you sit in the back, lacing your boots up to come out here in mere hours, and do this until its done, just know, I'm gunning for you, and tonight...tonight ITS GOING DOWN!

{{Markus tosses the microphone back over to Lilith Evan, as 'Till I Collapse' plays Markus' exit from the ring, back up the ramp and through the curtains into the back.}}

Sammy: We'll be right back here, on the Countdown to Nightmares! Order now!!!
