" Peep This.. " - Almost Time

Combat - It's the most recent thing to hit the shelf since yesterdays milk and Superstars as well as Fans alike are flocking to ticket booths, concession stands and the IIW Headquarters to get in on the action as the summer is just starting to heat up. . And with IIW arriving on the Wrestling scene in these troublesome times brings a sigh of relief to a large group of Wrestling Loyalists who have seen what some have deemed the "Dark Ages" of Wrestling as we know it. So in these hard times it was pretty much IIW or bust for most hardcore Wrestling Fans.. Because you see until now Wrestling as we know it was close to becoming extinct, no more Suplexes, no more chairshots or promos, NO MORE! But IIW looks to change all of that in just a few short days when Combat comes to Mobile Alabama and looks to tear the roof off of the stadium. It’s a New Year. So who will take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity? Only time will tell when we tune in this Friday Night to see who wins and who doesn't on the biggest stage of them all.



Atlanta Georgia - Gold's Gym
5:46 PM

In Atlanta Georgia.. The home of The King of Extreme himself as he gets ready for Combat! And anyone who misses out on such an epic event will have to smack themselves stupid. One man in particular will be at Combat. In fact.. he's getting prepared for the event like only he can. He's getting prepared because he has a match and hopes to start the new year on the right foot. But this man isn't going over a gameplan, he's not watching video footage of his next opponents former matches, no you see.. Crush is pumping some iron, lifting some weights and getting toned and prepared to dish out an ass beating the likes of which TJ Alexander has never seen or felt before. TJ ALEXANDER thought he had it tough before. Well that was nothing compared to what 'The King of Extreme' Crush is going to do to him in a few short days. Tune in to Combat on Friday Night to see for yourself.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " Fourty Nine.. "

No that's not the number of times Crush is going to make TJ ALEXANDER scream and beg for mercy, no instead that's the number of reps the big man is on as he is deep into his early evening workout.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " Fifty.. "

Crush hangs the bar up on the rack above his head and sits up feeling the burn from the bench press workout. He looks around the gym with a look in his eyes the likes of which most have never seen before. Something about it.. makes him look more determined, more dangerous, more aware of his surroundings than ever before. Like a Predator searching for it's prey Crush scans around the room and than stands to his feet cracking his neck and moving on to his next workout routine. Crush notices the IIW camera man but continues with what he was doing not giving them the satisfaction of stopping him.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " I guess I should have expected this huh? Must have been a little too much for me to think that you guys would actually show some class for once and let me finish my workout before you barged on in here looking for the slightest bit of footage or feedback. You guys want to watch me? Be my guest.. I Don't blame you. But you wont be getting anything out of me until I'm finished with my workout. Understand? "

The Camera man nods his head yes as Crush sits down on an empty bench picking up the nearby free weights that look to weigh well over three hundred pounds easy. But for a guy of Crush's size it's no sweat.. literally.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " So who sent you guys? Was it Kay? Funny how no matter what the initials of the company it's still business as usual and not much has changed. Sure it might be a clean slate, everyone gets to start from scratch and prove their worth to the fans and the powers that be.. but lets be real about it. I was the most dominant force in the ECE and I WILL BE the most dominant force in IIW. "

Crush continues with his workout as the camera zooms in on his massive biceps almost consuming the entire screen. Crush doesn't speak for a moment as he gets lost in his routine and starts lifting so fast that his face starts to turn red and his veins pop out. He finally drops the weights, stands up and stretches his arms back and forth smiling into the camera.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " Ya' know now that I think about it I am glad that you showed up. Yeah.. no joke. I know you have a family to feed and a job to do and that's fine by me just don't get in my way. [Crush pauses] And come to think of it I do have a few things I'd like to get off my chest.. The last time I was in an IIW ring, I was screwed out of the Global Title by my brother…An opportunity I fought for WEEKS to get… Now, someone else gets to pay for that lapse in judgment. "

Crush walks over to the Universal Weight Machine where he reaches his arms up and lifts his body onto the pullup bars as the massive tattoo across his entire back can be seen by all. Crush starts doing pullups as if he could do them simply by hanging by his pinky fingers, showing off his impressive physique and perhaps sending a message to his opponent this Friday Night at Combat as well as the rest of the IIW Roster.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: [breathing heavily] " So not much has changed.. I still get a paycheck and I will once again be crowned Champion, and you can take that to the bank. And you can bet your ass TJ Alexander, well you can bet that he'll be checking out of Alabama on a stretcher at the end of our match. I didn't come here a year ago to play games or play Second fiddle to TJ Alexander, my brother or anybody else. This isn't Jerry Springer, this isn't Dr. Phil, this is WRESTLING and the great thing about this business.. about this country.. well I'm going to get paid to beat the living hell out of TJ Alexander. God bless The U.S.A. "

Crush lets go of the bar dropping to his feet and you can really tell he's starting to enjoy his workout, that or the attention from the IIW Camera. Either way Crush is looking amped or pumped up for his match Friday at Combat, I sure would hate to be TJ ALEXANDER this weekend. Or anyone that gets in Crush's way for that matter.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " And I don't give a damn about who you were TJ Alexander, I really couldn’t care less. Because as you saw at Leap of Faith, trying me is not the best idea for your health. Accepting this match was the biggest mistake of your life.. for now. But now you've gone and done it man.. you've signed, sealed, and delivered your final death wish and I'll be more than happy to send you on your way with a parting gift. "

Crush grabs the pulley machine setting the weights to the maximum weight limit (Five Hundred Pounds). He starts at his waist bringing the bar up to his chin and repeats that process over and over again all the while looking straight into the camera lens with an intense glare in his eyes. Crush, a current World Heavyweight Champion.. will reclaim what is rightfully his.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " So this is what it comes down to.. my entire career hanging by a thread and in the balance of this match. I don't think you understand the importance of this Match TJ , which is why you will find out the hard way that I simply want it more than you do. I mean sure you have your reasons as to why you would like to beat me, but let's be for real here TJ .. you don't stand a chance in Hell. It's going to be just like it was before. The only thing that will be different? [Crush grins] Oh that's a no brainer.. The result.. I'll be one step closer to my goal of being World Champion once again and you.. well you will be dismantled and destroyed in ways that I cannot explain, in ways that you cannot understand TJ . You seek fame and fortune but I chase after the Future and I can see that in the Future I will be right on top and you will be beneath me struggling to breath and recall just what the hell happened. But don't worry TJ my boy, everything will be alright after Friday because all of your questions will be answered. "

Crush stops and the look in his eyes finally changes as if TJ ALEXANDER himself as well as you the fans were asking Crush "What Questions?". Crush having alot of time to linger and dwell on the thought of not being the IIW World Champion has obviously not taken it so well. You'd think one would be happy just the ECE world Champion but not Crush, he seems to have a hunger for the Gold even more because of it.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " What Questions? What Questions you ask?! "

Crush pulls on the weight machine so hard that he snaps the pulley line clean off the machine tossing it behind his head absolutely scaring the crap out of everyone else inside the gym. Crush pushes the IIW Cameraman up against the nearest wall which just so happens to be covered entirely in one large mirror. Part of the mirror cracks at the point of impact as Crush looks to have snapped.

THE KING OF EXTREME Crush: " Questions like.. WHY IS CRUSH SO DOMINANT? or WHO CAN STOP THIS GUY?, WHY AM I SUCH A BASTARD?! Ya' Know.. the same questions you asked yourself MONTHS ago , it wasn't that long ago Pal, I'm sure it's fresh in your thoughts.. in your nightmares. And you can bet that's exactly what I will be to you TJ Alexander, not only the bringer of your demise but your absolute WORST NIGHTMARE. I can't wait until Friday when I get my hands around your scrawny little neck and show the World, show all of the Fans and IIW that I'm the Real Deal and that I am destined to be Global Champion until someone TAKES me out or I am Dead. And Yeah you may have one over on me but I see the IIW Global Title as the next level.. the next step in my Career. So TJ Alexander, lace up your and get ready for the ride of your life. Get ready to be sent straight.. "

Crush lets go of his grip around the IIW Cameraman’s throat and dusts him off gesturing with his hands that he apologizes to everyone inside the gym for all of the commotion. He grabs his gym bag and makes his way out but not before winking at a very attractive middle aged woman who had been checking Crush out the entire time. She smiles and the Camera man follows Crush, but not too closely as the scene fades to black.
