(Sunny Day by Zug Island began to play on the arena’s PA system. It was unfamiliar theme music to the fans of EPW, which only meant that a new wrestler had come to EPW. The crowd kept their attention towards the entrance as he finally stepped out and showed his face. Some may have known who he was, and some had no clue. Those that knew the face hated him, as they knew what he was all about to the wrestling world. Jack Owyns walked out from behind the curtain, and came to a stop inches away from the entrance. He was already prepared, as he held a mic in his right hand. He pushed his sunglasses up onto his head. Jack took a few moments to let the new scenery set in, as his eyes were drawn towards the new crowd, the new wrestling promotion.

At this moment, he had a choice, a choice to be the good person or the bad person. He broke his silence...)

Jack Owyns: Whether or not you like me, or hate me, I‘m here. The newest edition to Empire Pro Wrestling and guess what? From now on, I’m going to make every day here a bad day for you all.

(cheap response from the crowd)

Jack Owyns: Want to know why? Well it’s kind of on a more personal note that honestly is none of your business, and I don’t really feel like telling you my life-long story as to why.

(Owyns began to pace back and forth)

Jack Owyns: So make sure you sit in your seats and cherish this moment, because moments like this don’t come often here.

(He let a smile slip onto his face. )

Jack Owyns: Why don’t we do this so I can kick off my new legacy here in EPW. On the next Aggression, I will face anybody on the EPW roster in a match. Sound good?

(He came to a stop, as he turned back towards the crowd.)

Jack Owyns: Well actually your opinions don’t even matter. A housewife’s opinion matters more than yours, which is quite sad really since they’re already the scum of the world.

(He chuckled at his own sense of humor)

Jack Owyns: So book it and I will come and teach this wrestling promotion a few new things.

(Owyns dropped the mic and pulled his sunglasses back down over his eyes as he left the stage.)

DT: That was certainly... interesting.

MN: (rushing back to his seat, a plate of nachos in his hand) Did I miss anything?

DM: New guy.

MN: Any good?

(Dean shrugs)

DT: We’ll all get our chance to see Jack Owyns in action next week I’m sure, but right now we go to match number two in the TV Title pool as Damian Stone takes on former tag team specialist, X-Ecutioner.

TF: Th’ following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred eighty five pounds, and hailing from Death Valley...

(CUE UP: "Step Up: by Drowning Pool. X-Ecutioner comes to the ring focused, as the crowd jeers)

TONY FATORA: This is... XXXXXXXXX-EEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

DT: X-Ecutioner is back in action tonight. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him, but he looks in good shape.

DM: He’s better known here as a tag-team man with Golem, and I was surprised we didn’t see them at Russian Roulette. He’s going to have it hard tonight, though. Damien Storm is no slouch in the ring.

(CUE UP: "King Nothing" by Metallica. Out walks Echo, Damian's wife, dancing to the song. As the heavy guitar and drum beat kicks in, Echo approaches the center of the stage. As she does, she throws her arms out in a crucifix pose as the lights go straight to black. Red laser lights begin to dance around the arena as we see video of Damian Stone kicking tail and taking names in all sorts of demonic and normal matches. As the main beat suddenly kicks in, pyro explodes and red lights engulf the arena as, now behind Echo, we see Damian Stone, his arms out in a crucifix pose. Damian looks around the arena as the crowd cheers him on. Echo first begins to walk down the isle as Damian stands on the stage.)

TF: Being accompanied by his wife, Echo, he weighs in at three hundred forty five pounds, and hails from St Louis, Missouri... DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN... SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!

DM: X-ecutioner is in unfamiliar territory here. He gives up five inches and sixty pounds to Damien Stone, plus he’s coming off of the break-up of his team with Golem, so this will prove a challenge.

MN: Not to mention trying to keep his eyes offa Echo there.

DT: Just don’t crack any of the awful jokes I see you have written in front of you.

MN: What do you mean written? My material’s grade A improve.

DT: If you say so. There’s the bell, and both men standing in the center of the ring sizing the other man up. Stone lifts a hand up, and he’s calling straight away for the test of strength! X-Ecutioner accepts, and they’re locked together now, Stone with the height advantage but X-ecutioner not budging.

DM: Both guys are known for their power moves, but Damien also has a lot more experience inside the ring, winning a lot of titles in his career. He’s starting to force X-Ecutioner down there, twisting the wrists to apply more pressure.

DT: X-Ecutioner fighting back, scores with a knee lift and a hard forearm shot to the head. A side headlock from the big-man, but Stone pushes him off, and on the rebound it’s X-Ecutioner who takes Stone down with a BIG flying shoulder tackle.

DM: I think X-Ecutioner learned in the initial lock-up he’s not quite as strong as Stone, so he’s going to move a little quicker than normal, and that flying shoulder saved him a lot of energy. Normally you see two big men collide a few times, but that worked far better as X-Ecutioner now with a clubbing blow to the back of Stone, followed by an Irish whip there into the corner and the splash.

DT: X-Ecutioner keeping up the pace with a bulldog there, into a quick cover... kickout before one. Stone’s too fresh.

MN: You’d think with Echo for a wife he wouldn’t be so fresh.

DT: Will you PLEASE grow up?

MN: Not if I can help it.

DM: X-Ecutioner being as relentless with his offence as Mike is being offensive now

MN: HEY!!

DT: A hard side suplex there takes Stone down. X-Ecutioner picks him up and whips Stone off again. X-Ecutioner catches him but Stone clubs him down before anything could happen there. Stone picking X-Ecutioner up now and a HUGE slam there taking down the man from Death Valley.

DM: You could see X-Ecutioner setting up for a big move, but rarely in EPW has he had to do that against a man that size.

DT: Stone with a hard right hand as X-Ecutioner tries to get to his feet. Damien Stone sizing the smaller man up, and a big boot takes X-Ecutioner down there. Stone goes for the cover, but a kickout at one stops the count.

DM: Fairly even at this time, it’s gonna take something big in there to separate these two.

DT: Stone now applying a chin lock on the canvas, but X-Ecutioner won’t give it up. He’s trying to fight to his feet, not letting Stone cinch in that hold, but Stone drops him with a hard shot to the back there. He goes back to the chin lock, but X-Ecutioner still trying to fight this.

DM: He manages to get to his feet, and ducks under the forearm of Stone there, slamming him down hard with a sidewalk slam there!! A two count only, but X-Ecutioner stays on the attack whipping Stone into the corner. Running clothesline into the corner, and he climbs behind Stone to the second rope. Looking for a big move here... NO!! Stone anticipated, shifted his position and caught X-Ecutioner as he went looking for the missile dropkick!!

MN: Echo looked happy with that one. That snake-eyes had eyes only for her!!

DT: If anyone else finds him funny, please write to us.

MN: I’m just saying he dropped X-Ecutioner on the corner where Echo’s standing.

DT: Damien Stone now running the ropes, but he misses!! Stone went for the Duel Strike, but X-Ecutioner hit the mat after the snake eyes before Stone could get back to him. Was that strategy or did Stone do that?

MN: Was that strategy or did Stone do that?

DT: I am NOT falling for it, Mike. I can see it on your plan.

MN: What?

DM: I think that was partially due to Stone. Stone now picking the smaller man up, slamming him down with a sidewalk slam. One..

Two...

Kickout before three there. Stone having it his own way right now.

DT: This is a big match for both men, and Stone locks X-Ecutioner in a straightjacket!! Stone pulling back on the arms as X-Ecutioner tries to fight the pain.

DM: This move not only works on the shoulder, it can also if applied properly choke an opponent out. It can be used like a sleeper-hold, which is why it’s not illegal, although a lot of people have called for referees to be harsher with this hold than others.

DT: X-Ecutioner trying to fight out, but Stone releases the hold and lands a big elbow to the head there. Stone now measuring his opponent... MISSED with the legdrop. X-Ecutioner catches a break and Echo looks concerned on the outside for her husband!!

MN: Belly ta bellah suplex!!

DT: X-Ecutioner with the suplex there and he’s looking to build on the advantage, but you can tell he’s in pain. Big clothesline there, followed by two hard stomps to the back of the neck. X-Ecutioner has Stone up, and he takes him down with a hard slam. The cover... two count only. X-Ecutioner feeling it now, sends Stone into the corner. Kick to the gut, as he climbs the turnbuckles. Hooks Stone’s head, going for the bulldog... NO!! Stone pushes X-Ecutioner off in mid-air!! X-Ecutioner tries to get up, but Stone has him in a half-nelson... ONE WINGED ANGEL!! That half-nelson side slam of Damien Stone’s connects!!

...One...

...Two...

THREE!!! Damien Stone wins it!!

(sfx: dingdingdingding)

(Damian Stone walks over to the edge of the ring to the announcer. He reaches out with his right hand and the announcer hands him the microphone. After taking the microphone, he looks toward the crowd and then toward the backstage area. Damian makes a slashing motion across his throat and begins to speak)

D: Hey, cut the music.

(King Nothing vanishes from the PA system as Damian stands there, the crowd cheering at him)

D: I hope you get the message, X. And I hope you understand that this wasn't really personal. It was more of a learning experience...for you, of course.

(Stone takes his foot and pushes X out of the ring, onto the cold floor. Damian then focuses on the crowd)

D: Folks, I can't say it any clearer than this: no man...and I MEAN NO MAN can stop me when it comes to the Television Title and the tournament. Folks, look at it. The only true threat to this whole thing against me walking out with the title is Benji. But you know what, anything can and will happen. But I like to bend that part of the game...the anything part. Anything I do...anything....I can...I will prove to everyone that I am not just a threat to the TV Title anymore. Soon, I'll be looking at someone else's door. Soon...I'll be a-knocking against that door. Then...well....I'll be kicking that sondabti*** straight down. I don't care if it's "The Messiah" or The "Queen of the Ring." ALL OF THEM will end up the same way...face up...looking blankly in the sky as my hand is raised. You want to talk about true terror? You want to talk about mass destruction? YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A MONSTER?!?!?!

YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT! AND THAT IS REALITY!

(D tosses the mic behind him, letting it hit the mat as King Nothing by Metallica begisn to blast over the PA again)

DT: Well folks, Damian Stone has certainly stated his case tonight with a resounding win over X-ecutioner.

DM: Stone is a monster, Thomas. Just a monster.

DT: It’ll be interesting to see how far he can go in his pursuit for gold. We’ll be right back after this with Sebastian Dodd and Cameron Cruise for the Intercontinental Title!! After this!
