(The show opens as the crowd roars.  Commissioner Merritt is shown climbing into the ring, microphone in hand.  Oddly enough, there seems to be no lightshow, no set, and no pyro to open things as usual.  The video wall is absent...in fact the only telltale signs of SHOWTIME are the CSWA ring aprons and signs hanging above.  The lights dim as Merritt gestures for the crowd to settle down.)

Merritt:  It's hard to believe, isn't it?  It's hard to believe that it's been three months since the CSWA opened the doors of an arena.  It's hard to believe all that happened at the THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SPECTACULAR event.  And it's even harder to believe that it's been eleven years to the day that Steve and I stepped foot into an abandoned warehouse and fired the whole thing up.  (crowd pops)  Philly...you've waited long enough.

(The lights go completely black....until the arena is illuminated by the descending television wall attached to the brand new SHOWTIME set.  Static shows on the enormous set of screens, until finally..... a brand new patented CSWA lightshow begins, pyro and all, as the following clips echo in the arena.)

V/O:  Revelation..... to revolution..... to resolution.  The end of an era of interference and interdependence leading to a new era of fulfillment...and faith.

BB:  Deacon is down...and Flair collapses on top of him for the cover!  ONE........TWO................ THREE!!!!!!   NOOOOO!!!  Worthington tells Flair that Deacon's foot is on the ropes!  Flair pushes Worthington out of the way and heads for the ropes.  Deacon sits up and quickly climbs to his feet!   Flair hits the ropes and comes across....NO!!  That leg just went out from under him!  He was going to try a flying body press, but the leg collapsed....and Flair falls right at the feet of the challenger.   Deacon hooks the arms and pumps Flair up.......ALTAR CALL!!!   ALTAR CALL!!!   He nailed it!!!  This crowd is on its feet...I can barely hear myself speak!!!  Deacon hooks the leg!   ONE...............................TWO.................................  THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   WE HAVE A NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!   Deacon has done it!!!  Deacon has won the belt!!!!!!!!  

This is tremendous....we haven't seen anything like this in a long, long time.  Two men fighting for the right to the World Championship....no interference, no cheap shots....this match is a credit to both these men.

V/O:  With the return of the past, the slate is wiped clean.

V/O:  With the return of the present, the tablet is cleared.

BB:  SAMMY!  Mark Vizzack is back in the CSWA...and it looks like that bad shoulder is all healed up...at least well enough to swing that chair hard enough to bust open Apocalypse!

V/O:  Villains and heroes resume their roles.  Good and evil, light and dark....the gray is given to the winds.

(The camera swivels away from the 'action' in the ring, revealing Hornet making his way through the crowd to ringside.  He's wearing a UNC sweatshirt, jeans, and tennis shoes.  He climbs over the rail, slides into the ring and sits on the top turnbuckle....)

BB: Hornet still has the chair in hand….but he looks like he’s offering a hand to Deacon, to help the World Champ to his feet. Deacon doesn’t respond immediately…and Hornet shrugs and heads for the ropes. Love has rolled back in, and it looks like Worthington is climbing back in as well.

V/O:  The old standard is renewed.  Old purposes are reignited.  Where power resides, many flock.  Where fame makes it home, the infamous squat.  For in the end, whether past, present or future, where many covet and desire, whether due to avarice or philanthropy, evil or righteousness, it matters not.  The standard remains true.... there can be only one.

BB:  Hello wrestling fans!!!  (crowd pops)  I'm Bill Buckley along with Sammy Benson....and WE ARE BACK!  The CSWA enters its eleventh year with a new set, new pyro....and a new World Heavyweight Champion!  While the CSWA has been on 'hiatus', the CSWA World Champion has not, as Deacon and Chris Shepherd have been hitting the mainstream press, most recently on "Late Night With David Letterman."

SB:  Yes....and wasn't it lovely to hear Shepherd's grating voice on every cheap late night show known to man.

BB:  Sammy Benson…ever the company man.  Fans, we’ve got a huge set of matches for you tonight, as well as some action outside the ring as well.  In our first match tonight, Cardigo Mysterian takes on…well, the CSWA Security staff.  I’m not sure who dreamed this one up, but rumor has it that CSWA VP of Security Gregg Gethard was less-than-pleased about Cardigo’s actions against security at TWS ’99.

SB:  Who cares.  The man did what few have done…he beat Troy Windham.  Who cares if he beat up a few punk wanna-be-wrestler security guards.

BB:  You mean the guys that protect you from getting assaulted day-in and day-out?

SB:  Umm….

BB:  We’ve also been told that Rudy Seitzer has taped a special interview with returning former CSWA World Champion Mark Vizzack, who was under the mask as “X” at TWS and before.  And Commissioner Merritt is set to announce his ‘chief of staff.’  That’s something we’ve never had before.

SB:  Chief of staff?  This isn’t the White House.  You don’t think Merritt’s gonna announce that he’s running for the Presidency, do you?

BB:  I sort of doubt it…

SB:  I dunno.  We all know he’s got a big head….and this whole three months off thing….and that would explain all those posters…

BB:  That’s enough, Sammy.  And then we’ve got our four championship matches, folks.  Former Unified Champion…

SB:  And resident schizophrenic…

BB:  JT Tyler challenges Wicked Sight for the Greensboro Title.  Randy Harders defends his newly-won Presidential Title against long-time foe Aaron Douglas in a rematch from the semifinals of the Presidential Tournament.  Blade defends the US Title against Lawrence Stanley.  And in the Main Event, top contender Kevin Powers meets up with new CSWA World Champion Deacon.

SB:  So, is Powers part of the Unholy still, or is it Forsaken, or are we calling it the Powers of Whatever-Cute-Name-We’ve-Come-Up-With…..

BB:  Without further adieu fans, let’s head to ring with Rhubarb Jones!  Wait a second...what's going on at the curtain?

BB:  I don't even know how to respond to all that....I don't think we've ever seen Deacon have to deal with his personal life so publically before.

SB:  Not to mention actually stringing three new words together.

BB:  Sammy!  Oh...forget it...let's get to the first contest.

BB:  This match was actually requested by CSWA VP of Security Gregg Gethard after what happened at THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SPECTACULAR, when security had to attempt to restrain Cardigo twice!  

SB:  They better be careful....any man that can beat Troy Windham can certainly take out a Gethard and his midgets.

BB:  Those aren't midgets, Sammy.  It looks like Gethard has gone out and scoured Philly for some of the biggest and baddest.  In fact, I think I recognize a couple of them as members of the CSWA's training school.

SB:  I recognize a couple of them as bouncers from local bars.

BB:  You would.  Either way, Cardigo has a fight in front of him....and Gregg Gethard is directing traffic.  Hold on!  Before Rhubarb even announces him, here comes Cardigo from under the ring!  He's got a Haliburton briefcase with him, and he just took down the first member of the security team from behind!  He goes flying, but before anyone can react, Cardigo kicks another guard in the stomach and then drops him with the briefcase in the back of the head.

SB:  You know, I kind of like this guy.  Anyone that can out-do a Gethard is fine by me.  Wait, I take that back....Gethard's an idiot, almost anyone can beat him at his own game.

BB:  This isn't the first time we've seen this....I'd bet that is the same briefcase Cardigo used to literally destroy the face of Ill Squeeze months ago.  

SB:  I wonder if the Squeezefeld money is still inside it....maybe it'll break open and we'll find out...

BB:  I doubt it....it's got some dents...but it looks in pretty good shape.

SB:  Take a lickin and keeps on tickin.

BB:  Cardigo dispatches another of the big men...and there are two left in the ring...

SB:  Plus Gethard, of course.

BB:  The two remaining members of security make Cardigo look small in comparison...and they advance from opposite sides.  Cardigo goes after one with the briefcase...and the other catches him from behind.  Cardigo down to one knee...one of the guards throws a punch...but Cardigo raises the briefcase.  The guard may have broken his hand!  Cardigo comes to his feet, along with the briefcase, as he slams it into the underside of the chin of the nearest guard.  He goes down hard...and he's busted open...his nose may be broken.

SB:  Four down....one to go.

BB:  The other guard is backing away from Cardigo now....it looks like he's going to have nothing to do with this masochistic freak.  He's bailing out....and now only Gethard remains!

SB:  That's what happens when you don't pay enough.

BB:  Cardigo stares down Gethard and slowly advances to the CSWA VP cowering in the corner....but now here come the regular members of CSWA security!  Cardigo brings a boot up and begins choking the life out of Gethard in the corner, pressing him against the second turnbuckle!  Security hits the ring.....two, now three, now FOUR members of CSWA Security are trying to pull Cardigo off of Gethard...but it's not working!

SB:  Don't adjust the color on your TV sets, kids....Gregg Gethard is actually turning blue.  I wonder if that's what he looked like when he was born....blue, unable to breathe, crying, and butt ugly.

BB:  We've got another security squad member in the ring....what are they doing???  The other four men step away from Cardigo, and now he's got free reign on Gethard!

SB:  Not for long...look!  TASER!  TASER!  TASER!!!!  Sorry...I've always wanted to do that.

BB:  That security guard just caught Cardigo in the back with that taser....and he goes down quickly!  The other four pull Gethard out of the corner....and here comes the paramedics.

SB:  Just another reason ya gotta love the CSWA.

BB:  Folks...we'll be back after these messages.   (looks at Sammy)  At least most of us will.
