[“Imperial March” reverberates throughout the arena and a video package flies by on the screen.

Lindsay Troy unmasking as Dis, holding the EPW World Title up for all to see.
JA hitting the Karelin Driver on Rocko Daymon.
Troy Douglas ducking a clothesline by Cameron Cruise and then tossing him with a belly to belly suplex.
Felix Red and First, perched on opposite turnbuckles, then diving down onto their opponents.
Fusenshoff, clotheslining Stalker over the top rope.
Larry Tact and Jared Wells stalking to the ring with the EPW World Tag Team Titles around their waists.
“Triple X” Sean Stevens standing victorious on top of a cage, face bloodied, holding the EPW World title up high.
And finally…. A dais with a throne upon it and Lindsay Troy sitting front and center, leaning back and staring right into the camera.

Then…

BOOM!!

The stage is illuminated by a veritable bonanza of booming pyrotechnics as the camera pans over the crowd, cuts to the ring from a wide angle, then concludes its journey with a smash cut to the broadcast team.]

[FADEIN: The camera panning over shots of the crowd, the fans cheering as pyro goes off, finally the camera pans to the broadcast table where Dave Thomas, Dean Matthews, and Mike Neely are sitting.]

DT: Welcome fans to the last Aggression before Russian Roulette. Tonight, Erik Black and Stalker meet in a Stalker's Rules match and who knows what kind of carnage that's going to cause.

DM: Beyond that we have a title defense, as Layne Winters, who's proving himself to be a fighting champion, takes on Copycat, who is making his singles debut here in EPW.

DT: And then after that a big six man tag, as the World Tag Team Champions, Larry Tact and Jared Wells, with their fellow Anthology member Sean Edmunds, will be fighting Jungle Storm and Shawn Hart.

MN: The foolish Brazilians have no idea what they have gotten themselves into going after Anthology's titles...They are going to get a beating tonight and THEN be finished off at Russian Roulette. 

DT: And finally the main event tonight...As Marcus Westscott and Cameron Cruise meet up in a non-title hardcore match that could have plenty of meaning heading into Russian Roulette.

DM: There's no way Westscott can afford a loss heading into his World Title shot against Sean Stevens. He needs a big win tonight, but he's clearly got a tough draw, as the IC champion and the man seen as the leader of Anthology seeks to cut Westscott's momentum off right before his chance at the biggest prize in our sport.

[The lights dim, the crowd buzzes for a moment. CUEUP: “Happy Birthday” by The Birthday Massacre, EPW Edit, popping the crowd BIG!] 

DT: Of course, all of this might be put on hold, as it seems that The First is making good on his threat to crash this Aggression and to stage a sit-in till he gets Lindsay Troy to put him into the main event at Russian Roulette.


[CUTTO: The back, the crowd pops big, as The First, wearing a black suit jacket, black dress pants, white shirt and black tie. Face painted white with big black circles around his eyes and his chin painted black, makes his way down the hallway. Gotho walking in front of First.]

DT: And The First now about to make his way out to the arena...

[First and Gotho walk for a few more feet, the cameraman following them, when suddenly Gotho turns around and gets underhooks in on First's arms. First looks surprised for a moment before a STEEL CHAIR is seen crashing across The First's back! Before we can see anything else happen, the attacker, or attackers, knock the camera man to the ground.]

DT: What in the world?! Someone, or some group of people are attacking The First! What is going on?!

DM: Well a lot of people were not happy about First's plans to crash this show, there's more then a few people with a motive for this attack.

MN: I hope it's all of them, I hope the locker room rose up as one and decided to end this idiot's career!

[The sounds of the chair shots echos in the hallway, along with First grunting or yelling in pain. After 5 or six chair shots the cameraman gets to his feet. Showing Gotho holding up The First...AS FELIX RED DENTS THE CHAIR OVER FIRST'S HEAD! First hits the ground with a thud and lays motionless. Felix Red and Gotho stand over him for a moment before Felix drops the chair on the ground and they walk away.]

DT: MY...MY GOD THAT'S FELIX RED! I thought he was done with EPW...Why would he do this?! 

MN: I don't care why he did it. I just wish he'd kept hitting him!

DT: This is INSANITY...Felix Red...The other half of The Forsaken, who held the World Tag Team Titles for over a year...Has just returned to EPW...And DESTROYED his former partner...What on earth is going on?!

[EMT's and staff rushing over to the unmoving First, working on getting a neck collar on him.]

DT: What a way to start the show...We'll be right back folks...
