Ladies and Gentleman we are back on the scene! With RIOT 555
We got a great show for you tonight! LETS GOOOOOOO!
NATE ORTIZ ANNOUNCEMENT
As tonight's episode of Riot heats up, we turn now to The Mantis in a darkened room with just himself and the camera. Though already dressed for Aisu's Lock Horn Challenge, he appears pensive and gloomy, looking down and away from the camera, as if he'd rather be anywhere else right now.
The Mantis: I can't believe it...I had the biggest opportunity of my life two weeks ago, on the biggest show of the entire calendar, my best chance of proving myself to the OCW Universe...and I blew it. Again!
A tense silence builds as The Mantis suddenly looks right into the camera.
The Mantis: Elliott Parker. I won't tell a lie by saying you didn't deserve to win the ladder match at Wrestlution. But in doing so, you, like all the others, have yet again made me look like a blasted fool. How am I meant to put on such a stellar performance like the one I had, fighting tooth, nail and claw, and have nothing to show for it?! I was meant to bring peace and glory and sanity to this industry, and the Future Investment contract was how I intended to achieve it!
The camera slowly zooms in.
The Mantis: So...while it is true that I cannot take that contract away from you after our match tonight, I'll see to it that everyone knows who is truly worthy to bring OCW into the future. I will show you who was destined to earn that case. For I am The Mantis…...and I've got your number.
The film fades to black...

THE MANTIS
The X-Tron cuts to Solomon Caine in a black suit and red tie, who is tapping the camera lens.
Solomon Caine: Is this thing on? Oh, there we go.
Caine adjusts his tie and looks into the camera.
Solomon Caine: Hello parasites, Solomon Caine here. As you all certainly know, I did exactly what I said I would do and beat the worthlessness out of Joshua Tucker at Wrestlution. But just as I was getting ready for the coup de grace, I was attacked by none other than the couch commander The Last Blacksmith.
Solomon Caine: After bitching and moaning about the CCW title and what legends need to beat his ass and this and that, he pulls out his final trick to cling to relevancy. And that’s getting his lazy ass off the couch and interrupting my IMPORTANT BUSINESS just to stare me down in my ring. And I guaran-damn-tee that he wants to challenge me again. Maybe… at Consequence.
Solomon Caine: But, as much as I would love to put another beating on him, it just so happens that I sprained my calf teaching that rookie a lesson at Wrestlution. Sadly, I’m in no condition to compete against Blacksmith anytime soon.
Solomon Caine: However… I do have someone else that wants to face Blacksmith at Consequence. Someone with drive, someone with passion deep down inside, someone that, with the right training, can wipe this stupid clown out of OCW.
Solomon Caine: So, if you’re watching this Blacksmith, your challenger would like to meet you next week on Turmoil. That is, if you’re man enough.
