Bret's body is too beat up and he is incapable of wrestling now. If he does it then I would say it would be the biggest mistake of his career, the guy had a stroke and was in a wheelchair, he should not even consider getting back in the ring to wrestle.

FRENCH MONTANA
Jefferson City, MO. Supreme Court of Missouri.
Outside its barely 10 degrees and there is a constant flow of big snow flakes falling from the sky to the winter coated city. A flow of traffic around the court house appears to be in slow motion, as each vehicle is carefully navigating through the ice slicked roads. Like a house in a snow globe, the court house sits amongst a white lawn and blowing snow almost as if its on display. The scene outside is calm, peaceful, and serene, inside how ever is a different story.
As the scene shifts to the immaculately shined marble court house floors a loud ruckus is heard in the hallways. As the flow of criminals, witnesses, lawyers, media, police, and family stream in and out of the various court and meeting room doors, one can't help but notice the commotion coming from the west end of the building. The crowds continue along their way, pausing to look to see where the fuss is coming from. Security guards are seen quickly making their way towards the direction of the source. Four security guards group together and rush into the court room where the disturbance can be heard and plow through the door to the sounds of a banging gavel...
*BANG* *BANG*
"... ...AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT SHE SAYS! THE BITCH IS LYING!"
”FRENCH!"
"THAT IS ENOUGH MR. MONTANA!"
"SHE CAN'T EVEN WALK AND CHEW AT THE SAME TIME. HOW CAN I BE OUTTA ORDER IF THERE IS NO ORDER TO BEGIN WITH?!"
”…ONE MORE outburst out of you Mr. Montana, and I'll hold you in CONTEMPT!”
Dressed in a custom tailored gray suit with red pocket square and tie, he slowly retreats to his seat. Still eying both the judge and witness on the stand he reclines and composes himself. His lawyer Elena Ari stands with her tender, perfectly proportionate, olive colored frame inside a peach business woman suit. Her sneer through her glasses at French is enough to gain his attention to the seriousness of the situation. She readjusts her glare towards the judge...
”Your Honor, if it may please the court I would like to ask for a twenty four hour recess. This will allow the defense team to game plan against this new evidence that has been introduced.”
"Ms. Ari, your clients behavior is completely out of order. You are responsible for keeping a muzzle on your mutt!
The judge sends another evil sneer towards French. He shakes off the look and begins to aimlessly stare around the courtroom thoroughly showing his lack of interest in the proceedings and avoiding the gaze of the judge as he continues...
"...However, in light of the new events in this case I will allow for a recess..."
”Thank you, your Honor. And I will heed the warnings of the court regarding the outbursts."
"...Make it forty eight hours. I need a break from that, that...loon."
*BANG* *BANG*
"ALL RISE!!..."
The entire courtroom rises as the judge quickly retreats to his quarters.
==========================
Newark, New Jersey. Elena Ari & Assiociates office.
”…The fuck are you talkin’ about?”
”Look, I told you that I will do everything I can. But there is only so much that can be defended French. When I get a call from the St. Louis Attorney Generals’ office, that’s not exactly something I can just, sweep under the rug…There’s litigation's and proper channels we can address this through…”
Sitting legs seductively crossed on her perfectly finished oak wood desk, she leans closer to French with a caring look, running her olive hand through his hair…
”…Now, have I ever let you down?”
”No, Elena look…”
She repositions her self straight.
”French!...You fucking fired a gun five times in a public place! What did you really expect to happen? All those little bitches screaming on stage, went to the police when you left. I just got the call…Have you SEEN the tape French?!”
French casually sags back into his seat with a smirk and prepared his mouth to speak, but as usual, she beat him to it.
”…FELONIES French. FELONIES! And you sit there with that…fucking look…”
*RING-RING-RING*
Her auburn colored hair sways as she is interrupted by her desk phone. She slides her 5’5”, exquisitely proportionate frame off of the desk and walks around to her leather chair and receives the phone call glaring at French. Because of his egregious reputation of impulse reactions, her phone was ringing off the hook with people in high places, looking for answers. French ignores her stare by looking at his finger nails and scraping the dirt from under them using other nails. Pusher sits behind him on a lounge couch text messaging on his phone, completely detached from the discussion. French abruptly looks behind him…
”Are you on that fuckin’ Twitter shit again?”
”Nah man…Texas Hold ‘Em. I don’t fucking Twitter…that much.”
”Yea, well these people are trying to put me UNDER the jail. You know, that whole St. Louis thing…”
*chuckling* ”Classic shit man.”
”…I guess the timing is right now huh? I got superwoman on the case. I’m not doin’ a single fuckin’ day! Fuck that. Pssshhh…You saw how the city was, can you imagine the jails? How many tyrannies, and fiends you’d run into?...Nah, fuck that.”
”Well what is she talking about?”
”I don’t know, she’s giving me the whole ‘woman’ thing. You know…bawk,b-b-bawk, bawk, b-b-bawk!” *laughing*
”Excuse me, can you hold a second?...Thanks.”
Clearly irritated, she rolls her eyes and places her hand over the speaker of the phone. Eyes darting towards the two…
”Shut-the-fuck-up! The both of you! I am on the damn phone!...Pusher since it’s so funny, YOU can get the fuck out!
French faces Elena, trying to hide the smirk on his face…
”OK, OK…Chill. Just do your thing princess…
”You can’t call me princess…Anyway…”
She continues her conversation as if nothing happened. French reaches into his pocket and produces a joint. Using his body to shield the joint from her he smirks and catches the attention of Push. He nods in agreement as the two simultaneously reach their feet and exit through the office door. Once out of the office there is a long hallway with a door on each end. The two head towards the backside of the office building to a small patio. Once through the doors the blistering frigid air takes hold of the two as French produces a lighter and sparks the joint. He takes a few hits, gathering the smoke in his lungs and passes it to Push as he exhales.
”Shit, it can’t be anything she can’t handle ya know? … I mean, if we have to we can make a few witness’s disappear, or recant their statement…”
”…Mis” *cough, cough*” ‘Misremember’…”
Push passes the joint back to French. He turns towards the night downtown skyline, which is clearly visible from the third floor patio of the office building.
"Anyway, looks like you got a date huh?"
"...The fuck is you talking about? What date?"
"Sedition man. They set up some shit... You haven't been near a TV bro?"
"No, I have no interest in their theatrics. It makes me itch."
"Well, I guess they want to check you out. Tossed you a scent...time to track the prey."
"Tossed me a scent huh?...
French repositions himself.
”…What do you see Push? Looking out th- there?” *coughing*
”A fuckin’ dump” *laughing*
”Yea, yea…but other than that though. What do you see?”
”…I see, potential.”
”Right. Potential energy can be easily made kinetic. There is no use of being just in the ‘potential state’, and never become kinetically charged. We present the dynamic that ushers in a new wave of energy that causes the colossal fall in the ranks. In life, as we know, there are no mistakes. There are no redo's. There are no do over's. *flicking the joint at the camera lens* ...Wake the fuck up! Wake the fuck up and smell the anticipation...Heh, there's something about the rain that provokes my aggression. So, considering the state of 'flux' EWC is in, it may just be the right time to strike. There are no indications that there just might be one person that is able to with stand, or resist this impending tidal wave of destruction.
No one is spare. Women, children, and the elderly are all targets.
With that being said, I think that covers pretty much the entire roster... Including our ancient resident Mike Thunder. See, initially I had no issue with that aging idiot...but now, now its a different story. ...See I have no problem fighting whomever Sedition places in my way... But can they at least afford me reasonable competition? Competition that is COMPETENT? Or COHERENT? Seems as though the relics of the wrestling world just don't know when to say when. There always seems to be the urge...'to come back and lace up your boots one more time'. " *scoff* "...This guy is a walking cliché.
God, I hate wrestlers..."
:Wrestlers live under an alias to create more of a mystic or to incorporate their given gimmick. :
"...But what I hate more is people who alter reality to their choosing in order to make themselves look 'bigger' or 'dominant' in a situation.
I mean, since when did we have a song called..."Cocaine Revolution"?
”…Fuckin' news to me." *laughs*
"...I don't get it. Or maybe I missed something. See, I made sure Elena didn't fuck up the EWC contract... It can even be found in the online EWC roster section... But some how you, Mike can't even compose your idiocy enough to 'premier' your big come back... You MUST be suffering from one of the many aging disorders or syndromes. Let me help you because you seem to be having a few issues that could be related to Alzheimer's. I mean, you're already exhibiting signs...One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information...
Hi. My name is French...Montana...My BAND is Cocaine Revolution.
I know that's a little bit much to take in a first, but Mike...just breathe. Now...The next sign is people with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. ...OK, now Mike...the year is 2010, NOT 1999. The MWC hasn't mattered for YEARS. As a matter of fact, its COMPLETELY irrelevant to me. So, please spare us the bullshit walk down memory lane of yester year. But, hey I'm sure in your current mental condition you can't help it.
French releases his hands from his pockets and clenches them while bringing them up to his face. He kisses both hands on the knuckles while producing a cigarette and lighter from his pocket. He lights the cigarette and takes a drag, then releases the smoke into the frigid air...
"...But at least, give me something to strive to. Something that might get a rise out of me. I, for years, fought in the dirtiest, grimiest rat holes. One on one, just for fifty bucks. I mean, the shows were and are plentiful. We got a nice buzz. I did it because there is just something, something in me that is just not satisfied. A lust? You could say that. Understand, because of this drive I have no need for a reason, a season, or method... I just go. To wage a war for purely moral reasons is as absurd as to ravish a woman for purely moral reasons...Important for you to know, Mike. It is not I who am solely responsible for your impending fall, I am not the puppet master. Your thunder, however potent, should be guided at its prime target. Sedition.
They're the ones that signed you in your aging state, and I'm the one sent to ensure DOMINANCE over Brawl.
I assure you, at this point in time it would be wise to understand who your enemy is. Know your enemy. Forty battles won, doesn't necessarily guarantee a victory in the war. If you know your enemy and yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred wars.
...The battle of January 8Th is drawing neigh. In order to see the snakes, you keep your grass cut low. When they slither in you can spot them from your front door, take aim for the head. The body is left useless. …The fact that EWC's description includes serpents of many forms and high grass, lets me know there are plenty of reasons to keep my sights up. I don’t miss.
All are targets; superheroes, freaks, metrosexuals (you know who and it rhymes with hence) *chuckling*
…and especiallywomen. It’s been noticed that they, of all people are the most conniving. If only, just one truly enlightened soul could be found, my lonely journey can shine brighter. When you’re the only person that can see what truly is…it makes the vision that much more special. It makes you significant during the revolution…"
French now pierces his eyes into the camera.
"...Look, Mike, the only thunder that's gonna happen is when your head cracks onto the Winnipeg concrete.
Road to Stranglemania (SvR CAS) Sign Ups « Result #4 Today at 9:57am »
Ok so while I was away from the lovely world of the Internet, I got extremely bored and began creating wrestlers and using them in storylines for WWE SvR 2010 with the new Create a Storyline feature. While doing this, I came up with this weird idea that it would be so amazing if EWC & APW began to produce their very own Storylines and published them online.
However, the problem here is that I would need to go through and create every single wrestler on EWC, even the ones who use WWE superstars. The only reason for that is because when the matches go on, the entrances will show someone entering as the wwe superstar as opposed to them. For example... that damage guy on MNB would come out as CM Punk and that Angel chick on said MNB would come out as Trish stratus.
So yeah if you want to be apart of the EWC Create a Storyline dealio, then I would need for you all to either post your created character on XBL or post the "How To" template of how to create your character (with every little detail).
And it also wouldn't hurt to add some ideas for your character in there... just saying
PS: If you don't have SvR 2010 (shame on you) then just go off basics like Skin Tone, Body Build, Height, Weight, Hometown, Attire(s), etc.

wmpnetwk.exe keeps tying up my resources! « Result #9 Today at 12:21am »
I noticed lately my computer has been really dragging. At some point I decided to do the ctrl-alt-del thing and noticed in the "processes" list that there was something called wmpnetwk.exe that was using up all of the processor.
I wasn't sure what it was at first, but then came to realize it is something related to media sharing with WMP11. I've had WMP installed for awhile and this just started recently. Severaly times I've ended the process, but as soon as I notice my computer dragging again, I check and I see the wmpnetwk.exe process running.
Because I use WMP with my PS3 for streaming movies and music, I didn't want to uninstall the program or smash my computer into the wall.
So I did some research...
The problem on my computer was a corrupt .AVI file
Once I deleted that file, my wmpnetwk.exe stopped using 100% cpu.
From what I have read, Windows tries to read the information for the .avi file, and that info is stored at the end of the file. When the file is corrupted, Windows can't read that info and the computer goes into some endless retry mode, which causes it to use all the cpu resources.
Instead of going ONE by ONE with all my .AVI files, I simply just tested out a few of my most recent downloads and found it to be the movie "Sorority Row". Which as a side note, is a crappy knock off of 'I know what you did last summer'.
So for any of you out there who suddenly start having some mega lag times with your computer, check to see if "wmpnetwk.exe" is the problem.

If you don't like Brady pick, then your logic would eliminate Young as well.
I know you're in love with Farve, but no. Seriously, you're starting to sound like John Madden.
I can see your point on Benson.
Brady was the obvious pick. But also the right one. Using the history of this award as a guide, it is not the first nor the last time someone won it for bouncing back from injury.
Scene 1: 3pm, Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada(shots from Amateur Video Camera)
It was snowy thursday, MTV and Ianzky went for a little visit and a fans' day for the Filipino Community of Canada at Canford Sports Centre, Winnipeg.
As shots by an amature camera... You can see Ianzky, shaking hands with Fil-Canadian people and signing some autographs and posters for the young fans.
Then Ianzky turns into the camera and speak...
-=Ianzky=- Man, You're on MTV with me, “The Tropical Tornado” for the first epesode of “The American MisAdventures”...
Guest what? We got 36,820 filipinos living on this city! Yah... That's true.. for I, was also amazed with the numbers... well, filipino are everywhere, man!
Ianzky continued to signs some posters and mingled with his fans. A boy speak to him while Ianzky was signing his magazine...
-=boy=- Hey Kuya Tornado! I love your last match.... I can't still believe that Johny Insane last for just couple of minutes... you dominate kuya!
Ianzky replied...
-=Ianzky=- well kid, Johny boy is a good wrestler, but I think I am too much for him... that he failed to bring and show up his full arsenals! Well boy, you're looking on the World Champion on the making....ehehehe
...at the back of the camera, somebody commented.... it's Dee Jae Stormy
-=Dee Jae=- Well, my friend, I think You're just been lucky with that match... the guy you beaten is some kind of lame, well good luck to your next match against TNT, I think he's a little bit tougher than Johny...
Ianzky turns to camera, hold it with both hand and angrily said...
-=Ianzky=- Man, Do you think I am just luck, despite the fact that I beat him so badly, that he need to be sidelined for long time? That what you think my friend? ...and TNT? Tougher? Well man, goodluck to him, I am on my momentum to repeat what I did last week at Brawl!
-=Dee Jae=- Oh my friend! Don't be mad... What I am trying to say was... You need to train hard, practice hard, give more focus to ensure your win!
I'd been out of action since I left Japan for EWC... If you want, we can train together via sparring?
Ianzky smiles and said...
-=Ianzky=- Oh sure man! I love the idea... well I missed beating you and bring you to hospital for long time... well man, all I can say, are you ready for some pain?
-=Dee Jae=- Oh! really? You will put me to hospital? Are you crazy? You might be the one whom be at the hospital after the sparring, and won't be able to face TNT on friday because of Injury?
Well because you're a brother to me, I won't do that, I'll beat you, but I'll let you fight TNT with complete body!
Then the both of them laugh...
screen fades to black
---------------- ---------------- ---------------
Scene 2: 9pm, Downtown Winnipeg(Still taken from Dee Jae's Amateur Camera)
It was still snowy, Ianzky walks on the side walk... and giving Hi Five to those who recognized him...
-=Ianzky=- Man, we're still here at Winnipeg, and still looking for some adventures....
And suddenly, a Hot Girl walks across and between Ianzky and Dee Jae, that blocked Ianzky from the camera... The Hot Girl wears a very seductive red strapless tube, and white micro-miniskirt, and she's around 5'10 in height,she got hazel eyes, big boobs and dark brown hair...
-=Ianzky=- Oh Man! Have you seen it? Whatta? So Hot! I feel temperature rising on this snowy place!
Ianzky grabs some snows at the ground and spoke to the camera...
-=Ianzky=- Man, check out this snow flakes... it is melting so fast... the girl makes these happens.... Oh God! I feel like I am melting to... look at her, she' lookin me!
The camera turns to the hot girl who's standing meters away....
-=Dee Jae=- Man, She's lookin' at you again.... approach her... I'll call our van.... Bang bus time....
Then Ianzky walks toward the girl.... and they talk, as the camera was focused on the girl's cleavage...
They headed to Provence Bistro at the Niakwa Country Club for some fine dining....
Camera focused on the two, Ianzky and the hot girl as they held the menu book.... Ianzky called the waiter and they ordered a lot of dish...
-=Ianzky=- Give me... HOMARD ET CRABE... SOUPE À L’OIGNON... BETTERA VES... and a bottle of VODKA... How about you sexy? What's your order?
The girl started to order her meal from the menu... The camera caught Ianzky staring at the hot girl's breast... and the girl notice it, so he start seducing him, by getting her boobs nearer to Ianzky's arms, with matching soft touch to his biceps and some gestures like lip bitting...
As the girl continued on flirting him, Ianzky's body become stiffer and stiffer... he can't barely move his neck and arms... his breath became differ.. as if ha will get some asthma attack or something... his heart beats faster than the normal... his hand became pale, cold and sweaty... every vital signs became abnormal to him...
all he can do is a deep swallow, to avoid the flow of saliva out of his mouth...
the girl noticed Ianzky's being unusual for the moment... so she start to speak, and said...
-=Girl=- yo! so you're Ianzky de Tornado? Oh my god! You look bigger at person than on tv! So, do you have some wrestling match this week?
Ianzky answers back with shaky voice...
-=ianzky=- yyee..yee...yeahhh... I...I... I gggo...got a mmm...match, against Da...DDaa...Dynamite Dan.... Mr. TNT? Yah kknnnowww?
-=Girl=- oh! I see, so what is your plan to him? Are you going to have him beaten very badly?

-=Ianzky=- Of course ggirrrrl... I won't... It's a... It's a.... wrestling.... wrestling match! It ain't a mortal combat type of thing!
Ianzky's gestures came back to normal as about the match came to his playful mind... He begun to speak clear and straight...
-=Ianzky=- I'll turn his old injury back and put him on the side line for the whole year! Because I knew that his a great family man... so that injury will give him more time to enjoy his family... and feed his stinky dogs... well his dogs is as stinky as he is... eheheheh (Ianzky flashes his signature Evil smirk)
=-Girl=- Oh! That is the Tornado I knew! The self confident! And the arrogance that can kill through words... the fearful comments and match forecast!... I love that smirk!
Then the waiter arrived with their orders... and they begun their dinner....
The girl suddenly stood out of her seat, went to Ianzky's back....embraced him and whispered something.... then walk away of the bistro...
-=Dee Jae=- where the girl is goin'? What did she says to you?
-=ianzky=- she said... she'll get something from his car for the two of us....
-=Dee Jae=- Oh! How sweet! By the way? What is her name? Did you got her numbers?
-=ianzky=- Oh my! I forgot to ask her name!
-=Dee Jae=- What a fool man! So it means that you don't got her number?
-=ianzky=- No Worry Dee.... She said she'll come back.... so relax... take a deep breath... we will ask everything to her when she come back!
-=Dee Jae=- as you said Tornado!
So They waited the girl.... for four hours.... and the girl never returned...
-=Dee Jae=- You said she'll be returning? Where the hell she is now? It's been four hours man... I am tired waiting!
[color=red]-=ianzky=- Okay! Okay! Okay! I think she wont return anymore! She run away! Maybe she got scared from you!
-=Dee Jae=- What the F****!? so may be it's time for us to back to hotel man....call the waiter and bill out!
-=ianzky=- okay!
Ianzky called out the waiter and they waited for the bill
-=ianzky=- I't pretty expensive here huh! Thanks goodness... I cashed out my cheque from my last bout!
Ianzky put his hand into his back pocket to get his wallet... but he can find nothing on all of his wallet.... not even his mobile phone....
-=ianzky=- Oh! shit! I think I lost my wallet! And my Iphone! Damn! I even checked my email at my Iphone before we enter this bistro.... do you got some cash there? Oh cards! I'll pay you next pay day man! I am so sorry!
-=Dee Jae=- Oh Dude! I lost my wallet and phone too... what the hell!
Then the two realized that the Hot girl was a pick pocket, that's why she never return
=-Dee Jae=- Man! We're fooled! What we will do know?
-=Ianzky=- There is one thing I know we can do.... that is.... RUN!
so they sneak out of the bistro, and upon reaching the door they start running,
But unfortunately for them, The guard on duty got their shirt's collar before they can actually run...
---------------- ---------------- ---------------
Scene 3: at the Bistro's Kitchen sink, 4am
Still taken on the amateur camera, Ianzky and Dee Jae was found on the kitchen sink of the bistro... washing all the dishes, as a payment for the foods they ordered....
then Ianzky turns to camera and talks...
-=Ianzky=- Man, For this epesode, me and Dee Jae learnt that You can't trust anybody on the firt meeting.... and never be fooled by the beauty....
everybody learns from their own mistakes....
and Experience is the best teacher of all...
so never be afraid to have mistake and fall...
and to Dynamite Dan a.k.a. Mr. TNT? There are one thing you would learned after our match.... you would learn than I am better than you!
So if I wear you!

Then Dee Jae suddenly throw a plate, it hit and broke at ianzky's head.... I anzky also grab a wine glass, toss it, and hit Dee Jae's forehead...
Then they both laugh....
They continue throwing things to each other until the screen faded to black

PATRIOTS' BRADY SELECTED AS TOP COMEBACK PLAYER « Result #12 Yesterday at 11:38pm »
Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been selected as the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, as voted by the Associated Press.
Brady, who received 19 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sportswriters and broadcasters, made a successful return from a left knee injury that sidelined the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback for nearly the entire 2008 season. He was injured during the first quarter of last season's opener.
The Patriots finished with an 11-5 record a year ago with Matt Cassel guiding the offense, but missed the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
Although New England had one fewer win this season, Brady led the Patriots to the AFC East title.
For the season, Brady completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 4,398 yards with 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Tampa Bay running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams finished second with 14 votes.
I don't really get the logic here. Yes Brady had a better year this year compared to last year... because he played in one damn game last year. Sure he came back from having major surgery and had a very solid year, but his team had a piss poor road record, they had one less win from last year, and he struggled most of the year.
How about Favre? Who had a horrible year last year and posted perhaps his best numbers of his life, and had a league best 7 picks. Not to mention over 30 touch downs and passed over 4000 yards
How about Young? Who didn't play at all last year and took over an 0-6 team, only to lead them to an 8-2 record with him as starter.
Or Cedric Benson? 504 more yards than his previous career high, an average of 34 more yards per game than his previous career high, only 1 fumble in 13 games.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and give full credit to the potential career ending injury that Brady sustained. I know it's at times damn near impossible to return to form, esp right away (think McNabb or Cullpepper). But everyone and there dog picked Brady to finish top 5 in QB's this year. He was EXPECTED to bounce back. The other 3 guys I mentioned were complete and total shocks.
But whatever. Lets all kiss up to NFL's love child

[The scene opens up to a dark room. It pans to the left where we see a man sitting in the middle of the ring on a chair, with ring lights illuminating him. The ring lights are flickering, some are blown out, since this was an abandoned gym that hadn’t been used for years. “Cocaine Revolution” by French “Frenchy” Montana is being played in the background. As the camera zooms in, we see Mike Thunder in black trunks, his hair dripping wet, staring into blankness. He turns off the music.]
Mike Thunder: Six years. It’s been six years. My match is in two days. Six years since my last match, and my next match is in two days. It’s been… I don’t know.
[He stands up and we notice a drastic change in his physique from the YouTube video from 2008. He looks to be in great shape. He walks towards the camera, leans on the ropes.]
Mike Thunder: My opponent is a man named French Montana. Some call him Frenchy. I don’t know too much about this guy, to be quite honest. The music you just heard – Cocaine Revolution – was apparently a big hit in Jersey. I’ve been listening to it, trying to figure out this Frenchy guy. I don’t know. All I know is, it’s scary to be back in the ring. I mean, six years, man. The last time I was in this ring, I was the MCW World Heavyweight Champion, a feat that I thought would never come. I beat the legendary Contour for it. Then some months later, the MCW closed down. When it closed down, a big part of me died. Literally all of me, to be truthful. But I’ve been wondering the last couple of years – did I retire too early? I was only in my mid-30’s. Naitch (Ric Flair) is at his 60’s and he’s still kicking ass.
[Deep sigh, searching for words.]
Mike Thunder: The wrestling business is a strange world. I’ll be honest. I’ve been wondering for the past couple of years how much further I could’ve gone. But since my last match, I’ve always had that itch. The itch to come back and lace up my boots one more time. I never found the right opportunity. I’ve had my eyes on EWC for some time now, and when I heard Friday Night Rampage was opening up for business again, I knew I couldn’t resist the chance to make a couple of phone calls here and there. Now I am here. That’s bad news for you, Frenchy. All these feelings that I’ve had been building up since my early exit from the biz will be unleashed on you. I have so much to unload, you have no idea. Back in 2003, I felt like I had nothing left to prove. I was the World Heavyweight Champion. I was the top dog. I was working my way to becoming the franchise of the MCW. Then just like that, *snaps fingers*, it was all over. I died. And you know what? You could say I’ve been reincarnated. The fire is roaring in me. The itch is non-stop, and quite frankly, is starting to be a pain in the ass. *scratches his balls, then chuckles* I may be old now. I may be rusty. I may not have gotten my conditioning back. One thing you can’t take away from me, Frenchy, is my experience level. I’ve battled the best there is. I’ve beaten Contour. I’ve beaten Seth Adams. I’ve had legendary bouts with “The Real Deal” Trevor McWade. Fox Ryil pushed me to my breaking point and showed me things I never thought I could do to a human being when I threw him off the MegaTron, ending his career. Point is, Frenchy, I am the Brett Favre in the ring. If you’re in the Super Bowl, would you start Mark Sanchez or Brett Favre? With Favre’s experience in big-time games, I’d go with him.
[Thunder sits down again.]
Mike Thunder: Now… Like Favre, I hope I am not making a mistake by trying to come back for one last run – for the big strap on the Rampage show. That’s my goal, and the day I win it, I will retire for good. The road begins with French Montana. Where or when it ends, I have no idea, but that’s the fun part.
[Thunder turns to face to the camera.]
Mike Thunder: See you Friday Night, Frenchy. Be ready. I am.
[The scene fades...]

This is an introductory rp and not intended for competition, therefore it does not count towards the match on Friday. In the future roleplays like this should be posted in the house show/backstage area boards in order to prevent confusion when judging matches.

If Brett wasn't signed to RAW for an extended time, I'd say it wasn't planned. But because he is, it was obviously all apart of the show and will build up a storyline of Brett sticking around. I just hope they don't do a match against each other. Vince is not healthy enough to fight, one mess up and the guy is seriously going to die in the ring.
