Our Hero paces around the ring he looks much different then he did last week. He looks reinvigorated, rejuvenated, he looks like he has purpose, enthusiasm! Could it be for the the first time in a long time that Our Hero The CEO of Online Championship Wrestling is in a good mood?

Our Hero: So here it is plain and simple.

Our Hero calls over the stage hand Kevin who hands him a briefcase, Our Hero Opens the briefcase and holds up the CCW Championship. The Crowd Goes Wild!
Our Hero: Some of you fans might not know, but this Championship is the embodiment of Turmoil.
Our Hero looks down at the CCW Championship and cracks a half smile, almost reminiscing of the history he has had with The CCW Championship.
Our Hero: This right here was the symbol for another little company by the name of CCW that I founded. This right here was defended countless times on Turmoil of old. This right here was held by a whose who of Legends and Future Legends.

Camera FLUFFING FADES
The camera pans to the announce team.
What an announcement.
A new beginning indeed!
The reaction is fairly quiet as new OCW signee and UK independent star Jack Rogue stands in the ring. The six-foot redhead, smiling at the crowd all around him, slides out of the ring and and takes a microphone from the timekeeper with a nod of thanks. He accepts high-fives from the front row and the slides back into the ring...
Jack: Hello, Uniondale, New York!
The cheap pop rings around the Nassau Veterans Coliseum, and Rogue smiles again at its volume.
Jack: You know, I’ve often wondered how many more times I’m going to do that in my career. I’ve been tearing it up in the ring and tearing apart my mental health for over ten years at home in the UK - and in that time I’ve almost called it quits more times than I care to count. But today is a reminder of why I never did. At last, I’ve made it to the big time - I’m in the US of A, and I’m in OCW. I’m here to prove to the world, under the bright lights, that I can be the best pro wrestler in the world, and that I don’t need to cheat, cut corners or exploit other people to get there.
Jack: This place is filled from top to bottom with great, entertaining talent, but also a lot of scummy people who have no respect for all of you. Last week meant there are fewer frauds in the locker room than there were - but who knows how many, along with other, miscellaneous assholes, are left? It’s my mission to climb to the top of OCW, with all of your help, and oust the people who don’t deserve to be there. My opponent tonight is a mystery… I just hope they’re not going to try and cheat me out of a debut win and all of you out of your hard-earned ticket money. Whoever you are, I’m ready to go - let’s see if you’re ready to face Karmic Wrath!
The audience cheers once again, liking the newcomer’s apparently wholesome sentiments and anticipating an exciting surprise opponent for Rogue. Soon enough, familiar music fills the arena and the volume in the arena spikes significantly, causing Jack to raise his eyebrows, nod his head, and wait excitedly for whoever will emerge.
Jimmy Henry, Turmoil’s One True Underdog, takes in the reaction of the crowd before taking the microphone from Rogue. He motions to speak, but the noise of the fans causes him to pause as he appreciates the welcome from the Uniondale crowd.
Jimmy: Wow! Man it’s good to be back.
The crowd gives another loud cheer and Jimmy mouths to Rogue off-mic: “You hear that, son?” Jimmy motions with his hand for them to settle down, but he can’t hide his smile.
Jimmy: See when you’ve spent the last 6 months touring backwater America with OCW’s developmental division, that noise you guys just made is quite something. There’s only so much time you can spend on a tour bus with the Hattons before you start to question your life choices.
Jimmy: After all the nonsense that’s went down in the last couple of weeks, I’ve been given an opportunity to prove I deserve to be back on Turmoil. Do you guys think I deserve another chance?
The crowd give Jimmy a “You deserve it” chant, before he politely cuts them off…
Jimmy: OK, OK. Now the first thing I notice since I walk through the doors to this arena tonight, was the amount of new faces backstage. And it seems like every one of them is keen to tell you... me... hell anybody who will listen… about how they are going to take OCW by storm, and climb to the top.
Jimmy turns to address Jack Rogue directly.
Jimmy: Well kid, let me spell it out for you. Many have tried, and many have failed. Most fail on their way to the top or grow frustrated that they don’t get to climb as fast as they think they deserve to. And those who are lucky enough to make it to the top, all of them, except from a very select few of them, go mad trying to stay there.
Jimmy: If the UK circuit tore apart your mental health, then this place is going to drain you. And not just mentally; physically and emotionally as well. The expectation is to perform at your best every match you are in, and leave it all out here. So let’s see what you got…
Jimmy hands the microphone to the referee, who passes it to the ring attendant, before signalling for the match to begin.
The camera pans to the announce team.
Match time!
Here we go!
Jack Rougue vs Jimmy Henry
The camera pans to the announce team.
Welcome back.
Indeed.
Camera cuts to the backstage in front of a slightly open door, the cameraman peaks through. The camera can only see Cozz talking. Cozz is looking nervous
Cozz: What you mean it wasn't good enough last week.
Silence while the cameraman waits for the reply to hear who Cozz was talking to.
Cozz: But I tried my best to beat him, it was my first match here. I Think your being to critical of me.
Silence falls again.
Cozz: Don’t say that to me. You know why I hate you talking about it.
Silence.
Cozz: Please!....DON’T DO IT AGAIN!........STOP!......
Cameraman comes in closer pushing the door slightly to try and get a better look in.
Cozz: What do you mean you think someone is by the door?
Cozz walks towards the door
Cozz: Shit its open slightly.
Cozz slams the door shut and the echo of the lock click.
***
Ragnarath stepped through the curtain walking on to the stage a microphone in his hand smiling he sat on the stage looking out towards the fans.
Ragnarath: So guys I thought I would come out here and tell you a little bit about myself and what I think my future holds for me, so I come from a family of Australian wrestlers not well known out of my home country Australia, but they bleed, breathe lived this sport.
Ragnarath slowly stood up and made his way down the ramp slapping fans hands as he passed them climbing into the ring moving to the corner climbing up to the top turnbuckle sitting down once again looking out to the crowd.
Ragnarath: Now I am guessing you want to know why I took the name Dragon it was my fathers who died in the ring when I was thirteen so I took it to honor his name and show the rest of the world what my family is all about.
Ragnarath jumped off the turnbuckle walking into the middle of ring smiling as he looks out at the crowd.
Ragnarath: So I have a busy night tonight first my main man Corey and myself have a tag match with b-17 and Austin Lee they are a formidable bunch and I will enjoy the challenge and then later I am involved in a 10 man battle royal along with Corey should it turn out he and I are the last two in the match then I promise not to take it easy on him as I am sure he wouldn't take it easy on me so thank you and I will see you later tonight.
Ragnarath dropped his mic leaving the ring making his way to the back as the scene faded to black.
