Ryu turns and sees, Jim then motions towards a door
RYU: Sure, come on into my office
Ryu turns into a door which reads “OUR HERO” and walks in. Jim Black hesitates for a moment but follows Spider in
Ryu walks over to the desk and sits down on it, he motions for Jim to sit down in one of the Leather chairs set up in front of the desk
Jim: So Spider, you know I have to ask, why have you been calling out Nate Ortiz week in and week out?
Ryu pauses for a moment to consider his answer
RYU: You see Jimbo, I’m a bit of a romantic, I’m a sucker for a good narrative, an epic story if you will. So let me set the stage for you.
RYU: Some goon starts a territory called OCW back in the long long ago.
RYU: This territory is like the wild west, filled with outlaws, bandits and cutthroats. A hodgepodge of outcasts, all fighting to be the best.
RYU: And out of this calamity a single figure emerges. A shining example of all the hopes and dreams our goon had.
RYU: Nate Ortiz, he’s the hero of our little narrative.
Ryu snags a framed picture off the desk, it's a picture of Nate and Tiffany on their wedding day. Ryu smiles at it for a moment then throws against a wall with enough force to startle Jim Black
RYU: Nate was the guy, time after time, villain after villain. The Franchise emerged from the fire.
Jim: Its sounding like you don’t have an issue with Nate at all, at least not to the point where you would be launching personal attacks on him.
RYU: Because I haven’t gotten to that part yet!
RYU: This hero would inspire the generations to come. Each man we call THE GUY forged themselves in his image.
RYU: Whether they’re willing to admit it or not.
RYU: Year in and year out these successors to the Legacy of the Franchise come and go, some even tried to beat him to etch their names on the tablet of OCW History.
Ryu turns for a moment and searches for something on Jay’s desk, he throws a few things on the floor until he finds what he wants. He picks up a ruler from the desk and starts spinning it between his fingers as he continues
RYU: But one thing never changes, the tablet OCW’s history is written on, the measure by which every one of OCW’s premier talents has been measured has never changed.
Ryu stops spinning the ruler and grabs it with both hands, he snaps it in half, throws it behind him and continues
RYU: But Jimbo, who would you say THE GUY is now? Would it be fair to say it's OUR OCW Champion Kassidy Hayes?
Jim: I suppose that's fair.
RYU: It certainly ISN’T the next big thing, young Harvey Ocean, who had the faintest glimmer of the Franchise in his eyes.
RYU: The man who was at the precipice of becoming THE GUY, the one to take on the mantle of The Franchise, Ryu smirks, something sinister flashes in his eye the man whose glimmer was snuffed out by Ryu Matsumoto.
RYU: You see what Nate, Jay and all of you don’t understand. I’ve already ended the Legacy of Nate Ortiz.
RYU: THE GUY you have now isn’t a man molded in the image of Nate Ortiz.
RYU: THE GUY, is TRASH.
RYU: The Future, is TRASH.
RYU: OCW, is TRASH.
RYU: And from now on, every Champion, every Future Legend, Every man looking to be THE GUY will be looking to cement their Legacy in OCW, by testing themselves against a new hero.
RYU: And that hero, is TRASH.

This guy is too much!
Too much honesty you mean!
CODE JACKMAN vs THOMAS ARCHER vs B17
The camera pans to the announce team.
HE HIT THAT OUTTA NOWHERE!
When it strikes it strikes!
The camera cuts back to the parking lot. EMTs and OCW medical personnel are all over the place.
Heather Angelo has vanished in the confusion and is nowhere to be found. The staff is now surrounding the car Valkyrie just got power-bombed through.
A couple of EMTs are helping her back up, trying to convince her to get on the stretcher but she doesn't want to hear it and simply pushes them away, before collapsing on her knees.
Valkyrie: I'm fine!
Valkyrie gets back up and pushes an EMT away from her.
Valkyrie: Don't touch me! I said I'm fine!
The medical personnel are now backing away, giving her some space. She slowly gets back on her feet.
Our Hero suddenly enters the scene. He's breathing fast, as if he ran to get there in time
Our Hero: What happened here?! What is wrong with you two?
Valkyrie tries to mumble something, but the pain is just too much for her and she collapses to her knees once again. This time, Our Hero helps her back up.
Our Hero: We are a few days away from the biggest PPV of Season 14 and here you are, getting thrown through a windshield
Valkyrie: It was a setup...
Valkyrie is still having trouble breathing
Valkyrie: I should have known.
The camera then cuts back to the commentary team

WHO DID THIS!
I don't care im just happy they did!
The Xtron Flickers On
Shep stands with Jim Black who now has his head wrapped and looks like he probably should be in a hospital bed instead of interviewing the man who hit him with a chair.
Jim: I’m…
Shep cuts him off.
Shep: Thanks for having me Jim. What you saw tonight is exactly why I am the “Wolf Among Sheep”. Minio talks a big game and even took care of good old Cort. But he couldn’t handle this guy.
Points to himself with an RVD like bicep flex and point.
Shep: Cort dodged a bullet earlier, but even then he still got caught with one. And just to show you what kind of guy he is he didn’t even try to take advantage of the fact that I had a match. I was primed for him to walk out there and take it to me. But he didn’t, and taking advantage of opportunities like that is why I dropped him as my tag partner.
Shep: With the dead weight gone I’m primed to become the official Pride Champion.
Shep smiles as he looks at the Pride Championship.
Shep: With…
???: SHEPHERD!
Shep stops talking and his eyes grow 5 times in size as he sees Cort standing a few paces in front of him. On instinct, Shep pushes Jim into a charging Cort which slows him down a bit. Shep darts toward down the hall with a charging Cort behind.
Shep burst through a door into the parking and frantically runs toward his rental car. Shep fumbles for his keys but before he can get them Cort tackles him and starts laying on the punches.
Shep takes a few good ones before he’s able to roll Cort over and gain position before he can land a punch Cort kicks him off and the two are now both on their feet.
The two lock eyes for a moment before noticing the Pride Championship now laying feet from the two men. That both reach for it with both men grabbing opposite ends.
Cort pulls the title in and shoulders Shep who doesn’t lose his grip but is dazed. Cort does it again and this time Shep is wavering.
Cort goes to the well one to many times though as Shep lets go of the belt and slides behind Cort where delivers a knee to Corts back sending him directly into a car.
Shep uses this chance to take the Pride Championship and get into his car. He peels off as an angry Cort leans against a car thinking about the pain he plans to inflict on Sunday.
The camera pans to the announce team.
COWARD!
