The look on the face of the Handsome Owner does not seem to be one of adoration or enjoyment. Instead, he looks absolutely frazzled. He quickly speeds around the car, holding his hands up to shield his eyes from the…flashing lights. No signing autographs, no small talk, nothing. Jay darts through the people and into the arena as quickly as he’d exited the vehicle. Jayson Smith: God, this is ridiculous, E. Is anything gonna go right tonight? Eric Dickey: Ummm…maybe if you weren’t ditchin’ fans like you just did. That’s not cool home slice Jayson Smith: Look, I’m sorry but its bad enough I’m late like this. I should’ve been here hours ago. I go to my car to arrive for this show and the damn tires are slashed?! I just drove it to your mom’s house not too long before that! They didn’t just bust out of nowhere, Eric. Someone SLASHED them! In the garage of my apartment complex at that. Eric Dickey: Relax, Jay. Like for real…chill. This is supposed to be a good night for everybody. Did you see all those people out there?! 96 is BACK, baby! So stop frettin’ over some damn tires and enjoy this show like everyone else. Jayson Smith: Not just one car…THREE! The two I already had and the one Marissa just got me for my birthday! And it’s not just that. You KNOW it’s not just that. Brandon Maddox and that goddamn delayed flight. He’s not gonna be here tonight and my main event is ruined already Eric Dickey: You got other people who would love a chance to face SBK for the belt. It ain’t ruined ‘cause some newbie couldn’t show up. Jayson Smith: That’s not the point! And that newbie has potential! It’s always the same. If the night starts off badly then the rest always follows. That’s just the way things go for me. I mean look at the re-launch of WU. I swear if… Eric suddenly stops in his tracks, grabs Jay by the arm and spins him around. Eirc Dickey: Look, Jay. Shut the fuck up. You put this show together. You’re making this night happen when you have a bunch of people who didn’t have an ounce of faith in you to get this company back off the ground after what happened last time. You already proved all them wrong. Now you just need to let this thing run its course and calm the hell down…understand? Sighing deeply, Jay nods his head. Jayson Smith: Yeah, I understand. Eric Dickey: Good. Lets get this show on the road, then... The camera pans around the darkened 96 Spectrum as the faithful fans roar with pride. We soon cut to the stage area where a strobe light begins to flash as “Anxiety” by Black Eyed Peas featuring Papa Roach begins to sound out as the volume within the Spectrum picks up even more. I feel like I wanna smack somebody Turn around and b*tch slap somebody But I ain't goin' out bro (no, no, no) I ain't givin' in to it (no, no, no) The 96 Tron lights up with moments from Revolution. Anxieties bash my mind in Terrorizing my soul like Bin Laden But I ain't fallin' down bro (no, no, no) I won't lose control bro (no, no, no) Neon blue lights now dart across the stage while the crowd sings along with the lyrics. Shackle and chained My soul feels stained I can't explain got an ich on my brain Lately my whole aim is to maintain And regain control of my mainframe Several action shots suddenly begin flashing across the scene everywhere from battles in the ring to battles on the streets of the Las Vegas Strip. My bloods boiling its beatin' out propane My train of thoughts more like a runaway train I'm in a fast car drivin' in a fast lane In the rain and I'm might just hydroplane The strobe light begins to flash faster. I don't fear none of my enemies And I don't fear bullets from Uzis I've been dealing with something that’s worse than these That'll make you fall to your knees and that’s the… And suddenly blast of pyro goes off and the noise in the arena is deafening as the camera suddenly pans over various signs thrown up throughout the arena. The anxiety the sane and the insane rivalry Paranoias brought me to my knees Lord please please please Take away my anxiety The sane and the insane rivalry Paranoias brought me to my knees Lord please please please Take away my anxiety The 96 logo flashes across the screen quickly as the cameras cut to the announcers at ringside. Alex: Hey, hey, hey people. We are back in affect like we always knew we would be! I’m Alex Horn, the evolution of 96 commentary. Eric: And you all know me, Eric Mark. Alex: 96’s resident 40 Year Old Virgin. Eric: I won’t even dignify that with a response. Tonight is set to be EXPLOSIVE and keep you all glued to your seats from beginning to end. Even our commercials will draw ratings tonight ladies and gentlemen. Hopefully you all took your snack and bathroom breaks already because you won’t be going anywhere!

CV then lifts Doom high in the air and drops him, planting Doom into the mat with a powerbomb! Doom is laying limp in the center of the ring and the crowd is not pleased. Carmine gets down on his knees beside Doom and mockingly begs him to stand up. As Doom starts to rise, Carmine laughs and waits for him to stand all the way up. When he does, Carmine strikes and locks in a sleeper hold from behind. He immediately falls backwards, locks in the leg scissors to make it a rear naked choke that he calls the Fade to Black. Doom has no choice to submit. Ref calls for the bell and instructs Carmine to break the hold but he refuses. After a few moments of pleading from the ref, Carmine breaks the hold and lets Doom's limp body lay on the mat in a heap. Winner: Carmine Vestieri (6:52) The camera opens up backstage and everything seems quiet... too quiet. As the camera man makes his way down the hall, we can see various words spary painted on the wall. The camera looks at each one as we move down the hall. Nine Six Is Nothing Without Me As the camera man continues walking, we see a huge star painted on the wall in hot pink paint with a black X painted over top. The camera stops as we see a mysterious figure a few feet in front of us walking around the corner. The figure drops a can of paint to the floor and vanishes from camera view. The camera man focuses back on the huge scribbled out star as we fade out [Single Match] Jinx vs. Melody Jinx and Mel stand in the center of the ring together.
