Scene Title: Storm Warning
Location: Tallahassee, FL
Where: Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Centre
When: January 17th 2008

The scene open up inside the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Centre. The camera pans around the centre over thr heads of all the TNA fan’s heads. Just then from over the PA System the sound of “Electric Rodeo” by Shooter Jennings begins to play causing the fans attention to turn to the ramp way where just moments later “The Tennessee Cowboy ”James Strom appears, followed closely by Miss. Jackie Moore. The two walk down the isle to a mixed reaction from the fans as Strom takes a couple of swigs from the beer bottle he’s holding. When in the ring he walks up to ring announcer David Penzer and waits for his music to cut out before he beings to talk.

::: “Tennessee Cowboy” James S ::: Now I know for damn sure ya'll want to know just why in the hell did I attacked Chris Jericho last week after Impact went of the air. And I’ll get to that in good time but first I’m gonna tell ya’ll a little story then it’ll all be clear as to why Jericho got what he did. Now this story begins all the way back in 2002. TNA known back then as NWA TNA was just a young upstart in the world of wrestling promotions. Full of young bucks eager to hit the big time and do anything to get their, One of young bucks…yours truly. Yes sir that’s right there I was “The Tennessee Cowboy” just a young upstart myself with five years in the business on the independent circuits and with several appearances for World Championship Wrestling on WCW Worldwide and WCW Saturday Night. Things where lookin’ up for me then that greedy sumabitch Vince McMahon goes and buys the company sending my ass back to the independent circuit. I’m sure you can imagine how pissed I was at him and the WWE for that but Then finally in 2002 “The Tennessee Cowboy” gets his break when a brand new promotion comes along promising to be the next big thing, little did we know how true that would end up being though. So there it is 2002 and the Cowboy’s career is finally beginning to kick off like I’d hoped for.

Storm takes a swig from his beer before continuing to talk.



::: “Tennessee Cowboy” James S ::: Or so I thought, I’d been lead to believe that I’d be working as a singles competitor but no. instead they team me with a guy who’s ass I’d done kicked all over the independent circuit ya’ll know him as “Wildcat” Chris Harris. But ya’ll also know him as the guy from that point on that I carried for four damn years and through six NWA World Tag Team Championship title reigns. Like I said I was willin’ to do anything to become the household name I wanted to be and that included carryin’ deadweight like Harris to the top of the tag team division here in TNA and makin’ sure that America’s Most Wanted would go down as one of the best tag teams this industry’s ever seen and you can bet your bottom dollar it’s all thanks to me that we achieved that status. Considered by many as the tag team of the decade but it’s been said before that great success breeds great ego and great envy and that’s exactly what Harris had become egotistical and envious of the fact that he I knew I was the better man, ya’ll knew I was the better man and deep down inside himself Chris knew it to and it ate away at him like a beaver gnaws on a log. He started trying to hold which lead to a divide in the team which he blamed on my so called drinkin’ problem. So in the end I did what I had to do to gain my freedom from AMW I had to put an end to Harris’ career and what better way to do that than smash a bottle in his face blinding him.



::: “Tennessee Cowboy” James S ::: But seems in committing these actions I messed up in the eyes of TNA management cause ever since then I’ve been denied from getting a chance to prove I belong in the main event here in TNA ever since then I’ve taken a backseat and that’s the exact opposite effect I’d hoped for, left as a mid-carder when the world over knows that “The Tennessee Cowboy” is main event materiel. TNA I’m sick and tired of this happening and I ain’t just gonna sit back and let it happen no more. And last week was a prime example of that when I took out Chris Jericho in the parking lot. I went after what I wanted and that’s the TNA Heavyweight Championship. How’d I do that you ask, simple…take out a guy who’s more then likely to get a title shot before “Cowboy” James Storm does, take out former WWE superstar Chris Jericho. Seems as though if your were at one time under WWE contract then that’s the fast track to getting a World title shot around here. Which pisses me off, Here I am one of the three guys who’s still here since the very beginning and taking a backseat to all of WWE’s cast offs. And it’s only fittin’ to get worse here now that there’s more cast offs here now than there ever has been but I won’t be getting’ ignored again round here, no sir! I took the first step by taking care of Jericho but it appears I didn’t do a good enough job in takin’ care of him cause apparently the first thing the son of a bitch did when he got to the building tonight was go straight Jimmy’s office and demand restitution but son you don’t have to worry about that I already got the match taken care of before I took you out in the parking lot. Son you’re for damn sure gonan be sorry ’bout your damn luck before the night’s over cause there’s two thing I love to do in life…that’s drink beer and beat people up and guess what boy…I’ve just ran out of beer!

Strom tips the bottle showing that nothing’s left inside of it. Dropping it to the mat the camera comes up close to the serious look on his face as his music plays pver the PA System again. He then tosses the microphone back to David Penzer, He takes his leave from the ring and walks back up the ramp way and into the backstage area followed by Miss. Jackie Moore as the scene fades out.
