The scene opens up in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is at an XWF House Show. The camera feedback is shown on the titan tron provided. So everytime the fans see themselves on the screen they jump up and begin waving their signs. Then the camera shows a view outside the arena. And Paul Heyman and the Coach can be heard talking in the back ground. As the scene finally cuts to them at ringside.

[Jonathan Coachman]: Hello everyone I am the Coach and alongside me is our own Paul Heyman.

[Paul Heyman]: Actually...you are alongside me pal. I am running the show here. And right now I want to send it backstage to see what my good friend....the respectable and heartfilled....Crimson Tide...is doing right now.

Tide appears on the titan tron and then the scene switches backstage. He is sitting down in a chair behind a desk. Tide is passing time away by tapping his feet on top of the desk. The door is heard opening and Tide at first looks relieved. But when he sees who walks in he's almost shocked. And Tide quickly rises to his feet. Then Austin walks into view and the fans explode inside the arena.

[Austin]: What's the date? What!? I said...what's the date?

[Crimson Tide]: Ummmm....September 2nd I think.

That's just what I thought. Then what are you dressed as?

I am dressed in Crimson Tide attire.

Your confusing Stone Cold now. You see...it's September 2nd...so why is your ass dressed up for Halloween? And why are you dressing like this stupid Crimson Tide character....when you could dress up like Santa Clause or that guy from the Drew Carrey Show.

I'm not dressed up for Halloween. This is my ring attire.

Let me get this straight here. You...gothic boy...is a wrestler? What company you work for WCW? What? I said...what company do you work for?

I am a superstar of the XWF.

No you're not! How come I never heard of ya?

I'm not sure....maybe you have hid from me like everyone else.

Hiding...speaking of hiding...what you doing in my damn office?

Your office....I thought this was Bret's. He told me to meet him here.

Well it is Bret's. We share it....we're a team. But I got some bad news for ya. Bret ain't gonna be able to make it. He caught himself a case of the Anomonia.

Well that is just horrible. I can't believe he got sick like that and left me here. Now what am I going to do? Bret was suppose to give me some pointers on my match. Now I have a couple hours to spare before my flight leaves. But I have nothing to do in the mean time.

Why don't you do what Stone Cold does? What? I said...why don't you do what Stone Cold does?

Sorry I don't drink beer during training.

I'm not talking about beer! Hell I never drink beer at all. I was talking about going to the ring and cutting yourself a promo.

You mean cut down on my opponent and get cheap heat from the crowd.

Right! You can cut, slice, dice....do whatever the hell you want in the ring. Cuz I am expecting some company. So your black and white makeup face can't be scaring them away.

Alright I can do that for you. But before I go you need to know something. It's not makeup....it's face paint!

Tide walks right past Austin and leaves the office. Steve stays back looking confused. And a few seconds later Bret walks in.

[Bret Hart]: Hey Steve! What are you doing here?

I came to check up on you. I hope there's no hard feelings. Your feeling good though right?

Yeah I am feeling fine. Did Tide come by here? Because me and the Old School guys are all going down to train at this nice facility they have here in Charlotte. And then we were going to strategize.

Nope....no one came here. But someone did call and said Tide had Anomonia.

Oh really. Well hey I got to get going. I have to meet the fellas. If anything happens you know where to find me.

Ay! Ay! Captain!

The camera zooms on Austin's face and then fades to ringside.

It looks like Crimson Tide is coming out here.

What was your first clue Coach?

Suddenly the lights go out and the fans rise to their feet. It is silent for a moment. The camera takes a wide view of the entrance ramp. Lighters are shining bright all over the arena. Then Revelation by D12 begins blasting over the loud speakers.





The fans are heard booing as the words 'Crimson Tide' appear on the titan tron in bloody red letters. The lights slowly turn back to normal. And Tide is already waiting in the middle of the ring wearing his usual attire and holding a baseball. The fans see him and give him more heat. Tide brings the microphone up to his mouth and interrupts the crowd.

Have some fear....Tide is here! And I am here in Charlotte, North Carolina. Home of the Charlotte Sting! Now I just want to say that all you people owe me big time! I know Rage already owes me a debt. But now you people do as well. I bet good money on your lousy women's team. And just like all of you I had high hopes for them. My eyes were glued to the set...during the commercials. Since we all know that Women's Basketball is about as entertaining as Ken Shamrock....which is not entertaining at all! But before you boo me let me tell you why the city of Charlotte owes me. You see I payed good money to fix the game....that's right! I payed Lisa Leslie and the Sparks money to throw the game. Then after that I bet thousands of dollars on the game....and even with the Sparks trying to lose the game. Your team STILL lost! Pathetic...just like all of you!

The fans let out a loud roar of boos.

Why in the world is he talking about the WNBA? This is suppose to be the XWF here.

He's trying to prove a point coach. He shouldn't have to waste time in a city of losers.

Hahaha! Cheap Heat....you got to love it! Speaking of cheap it looks like I'm facing Shamrock at Showdown. Now Ken I know you have had a nice long title run. I know you have established yourself as one of the top Xtreme Superstars in the history of the XWF. I have been studying all the tapes and I have been asking around the back about you. And let me say that your career has been a good one. So why do I have such high hopes going into this match? Why do I think I stand a chance against...the Gladiator? It is plain and simple! Because I am the CRIMSON ONE! For every match you have won....I have one double the ammount. For how strong you are....I double your strength. For how fast you are....I double your speed. I am one scary mother! And though your affraid to admit it...I strike fear into your heart. Infact I have struck so much fear into you. That you have decided to not even show your face. I can picture it now. Shamrock with his...excuse me...my belt on his shoulder. He takes his finger and drags it down the list of matches for Showdown. He stops to see who Shawn is facing and he moves on. Then he sees his name...Ken Shamrock...Xtreme Champ! I believe he starts to smile at the own sight of his name. But then he slides that finger over....Crimson Tide he says? He looks over the list again. Maybe there is a typo? So he takes his small body and his fearful mind to Vince McMahon to clear things up. And after he is informed that there is no mistake.....that's when the real fear is visible. He runs....he hides....realizing that he must come face to face with Crimson Tide! Shamrock realizes his title reign is going to come to an end. So he tries ot get a passport to leave the country. But with lack of money or frequent flyer miles. He is forced to do it the old fashion way. He is forced to escape....the Elian Congazles way! Now I know it's probablly hard to watch this from one of those dirt poor foreign countries.....but hear this Shamrock! At Showdown I will become the new Xtreme Champion and bring dignity and respect back to that belt. So you can either show up and fight me like a man....like a Gladiator! You can bring out your fellow UA Member and try to jump be like a little girl. Or you can face me man to boy. And stand there why I make you my public bitch!

The fans respond to Tide's comments with loud roars of boos and chants of 'Tide is no Good!' Tide just smiles and keeps on talking.

You think I care what you people think? I don't give a damn about you people! All I care about is the Old School and myself! And I have already helped the Old School enough. So it's time for me to do something on my own. And at Showdown I will be washing Shamrock away with the HIGH TIDE! And I will beat him for that title....just like Triple H beat Jericho....just like Mars won the Television Title! I will do it...all....on my....own! It's time for some real Xtreme action. This isn't no trash can, kendo stick B.S! No...you see when I win the title. I will bring a whole new meaning to the word XTREME! Remember Shamrock you can't hide from Tide! Either way I'm going to get that belt. Now how I get it is all up to you. But no matter what happens I will make sure that you are simply executed....Tide Style!

That man has a sick mind Paul.

He isn't sick Coach. Tide is a respected and dignified superstar. And he is going to bring pride, honor and integrity back to the Xtreme Title! After all Coach he is the Crimson One!

In the ring Tide raises his bat in the air which causes the lights to immediately go out. Lighters and flashbulbs begin going off all throughout the arena. And Tide's theme music can be heard playing. There is an explosion on the ramp again. And this time the word 'Old School' appears in dark gray letters. Which sparks a few more boos from the crowd. As the scene fades to black.
