Joseph Johnson: For those of you who can't remember, or don't know who the hell I am... let me make it clear. I have wrestled all across the globe, captured eight World Championships, wooed hundreds of gorgeous woman... none more beautiful than this one.. Koryn.

Joseph Johnson points to Koryn who smiles and blushes a little. Johnson looks around the arena and then looks down, choosing his next words very carefully.

Joseph Johnson: Make no mistake about it, I'm not out here to show off my hott girlfriend. I'm here to give a warning to any and every member of that AWA locker room. I've spilled blood in 27 countries, I've suffered more injuries than a multi-car pile-up. I have seen and done everything there is to do in the world of wrestling and there isn't a damn thing you can do to scare me! I am the fucking innovator of excellence, the current leader of the single greatest entity in the history of all that each and everyone of you has come to know and love. I am Explicit Content! I am the New Blood!

The crowd erupts in cheers. Johnson has never been the most loved wrestler, but he isn't the most hated either. Johnson quiets the crowd and then takes his sun glasses off and looks into the camera.

Joseph Johnson: You see, in Explicit Content, we live by a code. We aren't just here for titles, we aren't here to make you respect us. Hell, if you can't respect a combined 62 World Championships, I don't know what to tell you. You're probably just a jealous piece of shit. We aren't here to take orders. It's not about the fame, it's not about the titles. Explicit Content is who we are, we make our own rules, we listen to no one, we disban everyone who gets in our way, there's no exceptions, step up to the plate, but be prepared to fail just like the rest. Explicit Content for life motherfuckers!

The crowd erupts again. Johnson puts his sun glasses back on and looks out at the crowd. He takes all of the emotion in as he hasn't set foot in a ring in many months. He starts walking around the ring just taking it all in. Finally, he turns to Koryn who stands there with a smile on her face. He brings the microphone back up to his face.

Joseph Johnson: So I guess what I'm really here to say is this. I'm Joseph Johnson. I've done it all and seen it all and I'm here tonight, not just to add two more victims to my list later tonight, but to extend an open invitation to anyone out there in that freak show asylum back there that thinks they're good enough to join a band of wrestlers who have already etched their name in stone. That's right, I am offering an open invitation to join our ranks and walk beside me, Shaun, Koryn, and eight others from the past, in Explicit Content - New Blood. So if you think you're worthy, if you think you have what it takes, come out here next Monday on Insomnia and we'll see what you're made of. Don't expect us to be easy on you, like I said, 62 World Championships speak for themself.

Johnson drops the microphone as "The Only" by Static X comes back on. Johnson and Koryn walk over to the ropes and Johnson holds them open for her so she can exit. She walks down the steps while Johnson just jumps off the apron. She walks back up to him and he puts his arm around he shoulder as they head up the ramp and into the locker room.

Joseph Johnson vs. Jason Stevens vs. Adien Payne

Stormy: The following is your opening contest tonight on Hiiiigh Voltaaaaaage! Coming to the ring first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 175 pounds�Jason Stevens!!!

Jason appears from out of the backstage area as �Halo� by Machinehead shreds a mother into the sound system inside the Quickens Loans Arena. The Cleveland crowd boos Jason, but the boos die down a little as his sister Cary makes an appearance soon after he does. The manly portion of the crowd hoots and hollers for Cary as she smiles. Jason and Cary head down the wrestler aisle to ringside. Cary takes up her position as Jason rolls into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Jason balls his fists together a la CM Punk and waits for his two opponents to come out to join him.

Tex: It would be an understatement to say that Jason Stevens wants to make a huge impact in this match. He has yet to do�well�anything here in AWA.

Duff: He�s really off the radar and many people are surprised by that, including me. I thought that he�d be ruthless enough to pick up a win here and there.

Tex: Well, that could all change here tonight Duff.

Duff: Wow, you�re not being pissy towards me. That�s something new. Maybe all of us are turning over new leaves as of late.

Stormy�s voice cuts through the room as she makes her next announcement.

Stormy: His first opponent here tonight, from Sacramento, California, weighing in at 240 pounds�Aideeeeen Paaaaayne!!!

�Sinner� by Drowning Pool hits on the PA as red strobe lights flicker on and off. Aiden Payne comes running out from the back, full speed, and immediately stops at the top of the ramp. With a sadistic look on his face, he looks around at the crowd, then throws his devil horns in the air, as fire erupts around him. He then sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring under the bottom rope. He quickly gets to his feet, and taunts the crowd by jumping on the far right turnbuckle, bouncing up and down, with one hand in the air showing devil horns, and his tongue out. He hops off of the ropes and heads to a corner, sitting in the corner as his music fades. For the first time he focuses on Jason Stevens, not even caring that Jason�s lovely sister Cary is at ringside.

Tex: Aiden Payne. He looks ready and raring to go, but will that be enough against Stevens and newcomer Joseph Johnson here tonight?

Duff: Exuberance is important, but this guy is obviously on overkill.

Stormy: And finally, from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 231 pounds� �The Amazing One� Joseeeeeeph Johnsoooooon!!!

On the AWA jumbotron a scene opens inside of an empty, dimly lit gym. Weight-lifting equipment occupies much of the right side of the room with virtually any machine you would need to build muscle on. The camera passes over shadow after shadow of the machines before reaching a large padded area, most likely used for stretching and cardiovascular activities. The camera then takes us further into the dimly lit gym. The camera looks up from the ground to show ring skirts, displaying the name �Joseph Johnson� in green text. �The Only� by Static-X begins to play now as the AWA jumbotron suddenly goes to black, right on a shot of Joseph Johnson�s silhouette. The Innovator of Violence, Joseph Johnson, comes through the backstage curtains and peers out at the Cleveland crowd that�s in attendance. His music continues to play as he makes his way down to the ring to join his two opponents. He enters the ring with no fear and stands right in the center. He throws up his arms as the jumbotron has now come back to life, showing past shots of Joseph in some of his finest moments. His theme fizzles out as he looks to Aiden then to Jason and then back to Aiden. Referee Richard Head, who is assigned to this matchup, calls for the bell to be rung so things will be delayed no further. The three combatants all look at one another, not knowing what to expect. Aiden is the first to make a go for it as he goes for a quick spear on Joseph. Joseph sees it coming though and moves out of the way. Aiden holds up to avoid smashing right into the turnbuckle in the corner. He turns back around to see that Stevens has jumped Johnson from behind. Aiden grins as he comes to the other side of Johnson. The two of them Irish whip the newcomer to the opposite corner where Johnson�s front pancakes the turnbuckle. The air seems to go out of Johnson as he falls to his knees. Stevens goes to behind Johnson and boots him right in the back of the head before grabbing Johnson�s arms and pulling them backwards. Aiden Payne meanwhile surveys the situation.

Tex: And they�re teaming up for now on the newcomer in the early going.

Duff: Great deduction Tex. Knowing Stevens though, he�ll screw it up, eventually.

Tex: We�ll have to wait and see.

Stevens pulls Joseph up to a vertical base but immediately locks in an armbar on the right arm of Johnson. Aiden just continues to look on, trying to obviously think how he�ll be able to take advantage. Then a light bulb seems to go on in his head as he goes down into a three point stance and without warning bull rushes towards his two opponents, shoving them both straight into the nearest turnbuckle! Stevens goes flying between the second and third ropes to the outside, leaving Johnson down in the corner. Aiden wastes no time. He delivers a missile dropkick right to the recovering Johnson, really capturing the newcomer into the corner now. Aiden places his right boot against the throat of Johnson, but Referee Head sees it and tells Aiden Payne to back down. Aiden doesn�t which prompts the referee to start counting to 5.

Referee Head: ONE�TWO�THREE�FOUR�

Aiden seems to know what he�s doing as he pulls his boot away. He pushes his hair back and just looks down at Johnson then over to the referee, laughing. Aiden reapplies the boot and again Referee Head starts a 5 count.

Tex: Aiden is just playing games here with Referee Head, at the expense of Joe Johnson.

Duff: Yeah, he�s really getting into his �head�.

Tex: I knew that was coming.

Duff: Lies.

Referee Head: ONE�TWO�THREE�FOUR�

And as expected, Aiden pulls back again. Only this time he doesn�t see that Jason Stevens has reentered the ring. Aiden turns but this time is unable to duck a Jason Stevens clothesline. Aiden pops back up from the mat very quick though so on his way back by, Stevens clotheslines Payne right back to the mat.

Tex: No more teaming I see. And this gives time for poor Joseph Johnson to recover.

Duff: Yeah, sadly. I knew Jason Stevens would screw it up! They have Johnson down, but not out. They should have wasted him first!

As the two really begin to battle now, locking up in one corner, Joseph Johnson is using the ropes to pick himself up. He seems to be refreshed and now keeps his eyes on the two opponents that put him down for a bit.

Tex: That�s what you need to do in a triple threat match too Duff. You nailed it right on the head.

Duff: Of course I did. Because I�m good like that.

Stevens begins to get the upper hand as he nails a few chops to Aiden�s chest. Jason then rears back and connects with a fist right to Aiden�s temple. Then he nails another and another. Aiden is slumped into the corner as far as he can go. Stevens ascends to the top rope and delivers a kick to the side of Aiden�s head before finally turning to Joe Johnson, who is now completely to his feet. Stevens sees him and begins to ponder his next move, but he takes too long and Johnson has him down after a nice arm drag takeover.

Tex: Looks like we�ll now get to see what Johnson is capable of doing.

Duff: Let�s see how long that lasts.

Johnson, after taking Stevens over and down to the mat, pulls Stevens�s arms up into the air before locking his own in and bringing Jason Stevens up into a full nelson hold! At ringside a shot of Cary is shown and she looks quite concerned for her brother.

Tex: This move is good, but he�ll need to keep his eyes on where Aiden Payne is at all times if he�s going to pull this one out.

Duff: That�s what makes triple threat matches awesome. Someone can dive in and take a win unsuspectedly. Heck, even Doug Crashin�s won a triple threat match before!

Johnson starts moving Stevens from side to side and soon Jason�s cheeks start to turn colors. His head goes down and the referee looks to see if he�s out cold. Suddenly Aiden Payne gathers up enough strength to go for another spear. He hits it, but hits it on Jason Stevens as Johnson lets go of his prey at the right time! Aiden goes for the pin on Stevens.

Referee Head: ONE�TWO�

Johnson breaks up the fall and pulls Aiden up and begins working on him now. He tosses him to the far ropes and on Aiden�s rebound, Johnson hits a vicious uppercut to Aiden Payne�s jaw, leveling him right to the canvas. Aiden hits with a sickening thud, much to the delight of the Cleveland crowd. They begin to cheer the new man on and because of it Joseph looks like he won�t be fooling around any longer.

Tex: Well, now that Stevens is seemingly out of it, looks like Johnson�s going to go for the kill.

Duff: Meh. I thought Payne was the one that had the best shot in this match. Guess exuberance isn�t everything.

Johnson snaps Aiden back to his feet and looks to hit a maneuver, but Aiden ducks and suddenly spins and takes down Johnson with a swinging neckbreaker out of desperation. Aiden rolls away as Johnson lays flat on his back.

Tex: All three men are down! Who will take this victory?

Duff: Beats me. One of them probably will, unless if all three get counted out.

The referee can barely start a 10 count as Aiden has already begun to come to his feet. He commits to and drops down onto Johnson with a leg drop before hooking Johnson�s left leg for a cover.

Referee Head: ONE�TWO�THR-

At the last second possible, Johnson is barely able to pick his right shoulder up off the mat before having it drop again. Aiden goes for another cover, attempting to reach up to pin the shoulders down.

Referee Head: ONE�TWO�THR-

This time Johnson rolls the left shoulder. Aiden puts his hands on his knees and looks a bit perturbed. He stands up and brings Johnson to his feet. He goes to whip Johnson to where Stevens lays knocked out, but Johnson is able to block and reverse, sending Aiden crashing into the far corner. Aiden still comes out a few feet but has no idea where he is. Johnson can be seen smiling as he sizes up his opponent. Aiden turns, but runs right into Joseph Johnson who capitalizes by hitting the Jurisdiction.

Tex: That looks like that one hurt�and these fans are going nuts! They know a good finishing move when they see it!

Johnson hooks both of Aiden�s feet up into the air as Referee Head falls to count the pin.

Referee Head: ONE�TWO�THREE!!!

The bell rings signaling Joseph Johnson�s victory as �The Only� by Static-X begins to ring out loud once again.

Stormy: Here is your winner�Joseeeeeeeeph Johnsoooooon!!!

Winner: Joseph Johnson

Tex: Very impressive debut and performance by Joseph here tonight. We�ll probably be seeing great things from him and the best part is is that he�s no rookie. He�s shown that and hopefully he�ll show us so much more.

Duff: From the looks of it, he will. I hope he isn�t too much of a goody two shoes though.

Tex: And what�s that supposed to mean?

Duff doesn�t answer. Instead Joseph has his left arm held up by Referee Head. Once it�s back down he steps over the top rope and out of the ring. Cary Stevens has since pulled her brother from the ring and is in the process of reviving him. Aiden Payne gets assistance from the referee as Joseph Johnson heads back up the wrestler ramp. Once he�s on the stage he surveys the scene before raising his arms above his head. He then disappears to the backstage area as the scene fades�
