[FADE IN: Darkness. Ominous drum music plays in the background. As blue light begins to filter across the screen, we see that the illumination is filtering through the walls of a cell. Soft, almost biblical chanting can be heard in the background, murmuring slowly and softly in Latin.]

"A man taunted and mocked, yet undaunted in his quest for glory."

[Cut to a montage of various clips of Beast, showing him lying bloody on the floor, victorious in a ring, and charging in slow-motion down a hall – as his voice plays over the shot.]

"I'm going to hit Dan Ryan where it really hurts. His pride. The last thing that he wants is me as his World Champion. He didn't even want to give me a shot - even though I was screwed out of the title in the first place. But I went and TOOK it from him"

[Cut to a shot of Beast standing in a dressing room, glaring into the camera as the voice-over continues.]

" I beat your ass up one side of Black Dawn and down the other, Dan - and I took what was owed me. And when it's time to face Lindsay Troy for the EPW title, I'll stick it to you where it really hurts."

[Cut to Kin Hiroshi, hitting various high flying moves on opponents around the world as his voice echoes over the shot.]

“Week in and week out I do what I’m paid to do: draw a crowd and put on a show.”

[The shot moves to one of Kin Hiroshi standing in the hallways glaring into the camera with a smirk on his face.]

“I’m better than you. You got to my head once before, and you got into my mind too. Not again. Your time is up, champ.”

[Cut to Joey Melton strutting mid-ring intercut with shots of him hitting moves in various matches as his voice comes in.]

“You whipped my ass back in shape, Troy. You picked me off the cold, tile floor in Japan and fucking led me to sobriety. I’m here, because of you. But, let’s not split hairs. I’m the biggest name in this company. And the next step in EPW’s evolution is to have a GOLDEN name carry it’s treasure.”

[Cut to Joey Melton, looking down his nose at the camera, ever cocky.]

“And Trip, you’ve spent your entire career TRYING to be as big of a star as Joey Melton, and you’ve failed. This is what you’ve waited for, to square off against the UNIFIER in a World Title Match. But don’t worry. I’ll pose for a picture and give you the shirt off my back, just like I did years ago.”

[Cut to Karl Brown posing with the EPW Intercontinental Title over Cameron Cruise as his voice begins.]

“All the words, all the press-conferences – as you know they mean nothing when the bell rings. All that matters is what happens in the ring. That is where the fans get to see their ambassadors fight. That is where our paths are decided for us. That is where you have to prove you’re worthy of holding that belt.”

[Cut to Brown in front of an EPW Unleashed banner, glowering into the camera with his title over his shoulder.]

“At the end of the day, only one person can walk away with that title.”

[Cut to Triple X Sean Stevens with a figure four on an opponent, then cutting to other shots of him in action.]

“Every place I've ever competed, at some point or another was the premier promotion on the planet, and it's easy to see why.”

[Cut to Stevens, sitting on a chair in his dressing room looking disgustedly into the camera.]

“You had a great run as champion, a run that'll be talked about for years. You've succeeded where most have failed, you became successful in a business designed for your failure. Some wrestlers don't wrestle for fourteen months, let alone remain world champion. But, all things come to an end, and at Unleashed ... I am your trump card, and there's not a damned thing you, or anybody else can do about it.”

[Cut to Lindsay Troy, an array of highlight beginning with her unveiling at Russian Roullette and the beginning of her World Title reign.]

“In the ring, it's nothing but business. I was not recognized this past year at the ENN awards for my accomplishments in other companies. I was recognized for my accomplishments in one company and one company only. This one.”

[Cut to Lindsay Troy, sitting behind a large mahogany desk in a business suit, with the EPW World Title propped up on the desk and peering into the camera.]

"Inside the ring, I am known as the CHAIRwoman; the Sovereign of the Scaffold; the original Dis. But most importantly...I am known as the world champion. And there's no man, woman or child on earth that could discredit or do a damn thing….about that."

"Six will enter."

[With a metallic clang, the faces fade, and the steel bars of the cell slam across the screen. The music dies abruptly.]

"One will survive."

[Suddenly, the cell erupts and the screen rips away. Cue up: "American Nightmare" – Rob Zombie. The screen completely shreds away, revealing a rapidly shifting blue grid backdrop intercut with video clips of various wrestlers, many leaving blurred after-images as they move.

Cut to the blue grid, which ceases shifting as a blue filmreel-style strip blazes across it. With a heavy thud of steel, white letters are stamped across the reel, stationary as the reel continues to roll.]

MN:  Hey, I skipped lunch I was so excited about tonight!!

DT:  Indeed what a monstrous night we have in story!! Frankie Scott takes on The Sergeant in a match that proves to be as wild as any we’ve ever had in Empire Pro, Mike Evers challenges Adam Benjamin for the EPW Television Title, The Highland Park Social Club takes aim at Blitz and Leonard Johnson for the EPW World Tag Team Titles and of course for the World Heavyweight Championship, Lindsay Troy defends against five men in that ring tonight!!
