-[[ We cut to the backstage area where Val Venis is standing, dressed to wrestle.. He has the SGW World Heavyweight Championship belt around his waist and he appears to be focused on something off-camera... You realize what it is when "The Franchise" Shane Douglas wanders into the shot, laughing as usual... Val Venis seems unfazed by the presence of this mad man... Douglas rubs his goatee and begins speaking.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] HELLO, SGW!! IT'S ME.. THE FUCKIN' FRANCHISE.. SHANE DOUGLAS!!

-[[ He turns to Venis with wide eyes.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] VAL FUCKIN' VENIS... THE WORLD CHAMPION!! HA HA HA...

-[[ He looks at the camera laughing and then back at Venis.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] WE JUST FOUND OUT.. YOUR MATCH AGAINST RANDY ORTON AT WORLD WARRIOR...

-[[ Douglas shakes his head frantically.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] AIN'T A MATCH AGAINST RANDY ORTON.. ANY FUCKIN' MORE!! HA HA HA...

-[[ Venis stands there, he's already heard the news so this doesn't elicit any new reaction from him.. ]]-

[ Shane Douglas ] THE ODDS.. THEY'RE FUCKIN' STACKED!! BECAUSE NOW--

-[[ Venis waves Douglas off and takes the microphone from him.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] I know, Franchise.... I know..

-[[ Venis turns to the camera... ]]-

[ Val Venis ] All I have to say is this... I am the Solid Gold Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion..

-[[ He takes a few steps closer to the camera.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] And I will back down from no challenge... Randy Orton, Ken Kennedy.. Throw in the Big Show for all I care.. You can stack all the odds you want because I will never back down.. I will never surrender this championship.. This belt.. This big, gold belt.. It is the water I drink... It is the air I breathe.. And you will have to KILL ME to take it from me..

-[[ Venis is staring hard, right into the camera. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] A triple threat at World Warrior... Vince Russo at ringside... I love it..

-[[ He points into the camera.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Because that's just going to make me try that much harder..

-[[ He lowers his hand.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] But there's something else I'd like to address.. Something that happened last week..

-[[ Venis' tone goes lower.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Whoever took out Hassan... Whoever blew up Randy Orton's car.. I don't care who you are.. And regardless of the fact that I despise both of those men.. I will find you and you will be brought to justice.. The dead walk is right... Because when you stepped inside Solid Gold Wrestling and did what you did... You became a dead.. Man.. Walking..

-[[ He turns to walk off camera and finds himself face to face with Orlando Jordan.. Orlando looks panicked.. ]]-

[ Orlando Jordan ] Val, man.. You ain't gonna believe this shit!!

[ Val Venis ] What's wrong?

-[[ Orlando points just around the corner where a man dressed in all black is sitting on his ass, propped up against the wall.. He's clutching something in his hands.. Venis squints to look harder but can't make it out.. ]]-

[ Orlando Jordan ] Brother's down there talkin' about Taz and revenge.. And all kind o'shit, Val..

-[[ Orlando looks seriously concerned.. ]]-

[ Orlando Jordan ] I think we found our mad bomber, man.

-[[ Venis shakes his head and begins storming down the hall toward this man with Orlando marching behind him.. They end up standing over the man, realizing it's Tommy Dreamer wearing a pair of track pants and SGW t-shirt... But what he clutches in his hands..... What.. Is that? ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Dreamer... What the hell do you think you're doing?

-[[ Dreamer looks up, not realizing what's going on.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] Hey, Val.. Me and Taz here are just hanging out...

[ Val Venis ] ....Taz?

-[[ Dreamer opens his hands to reveal the urn, splattered with orange paint.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] He's telling me about the time you two faced off in AWE!!

[ Val Venis ] Taz is dead, Tommy..

-[[ Dreamer laughs.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] You're crazy, Val.... You're crazy..

-[[ Dreamer stands up and begins to wander down the hall.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] That's why I like you, Val... You're crazy..

-[[ Venis spends Dreamer around violently.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] Hey, man.. What the fuck!?

-[[ He holds the urn up.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] You want me to choke you out!?

-[[ Venis is shaking with anger.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] Six-Thirty-Two, mother fucker!! Twice as pissed! SG-FUCKIN' W!!

[ Val Venis ] Why'd you do it!?

-[[ He slams Dreamer against the wall.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Why did you take out Hassan!? Why'd you try to kill Orton!?

-[[ He slams Dreamer against the wall again.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] And don't give me that TAZ BULLSHIT!!

-[[ Dreamer looks seriously surprised now.. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] Orton? Hassan!? I don't know what you're talkin' about, man!!

-[[ Venis snatches the urn out of Dreamer's hand.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Gimme that..

-[[ He twists off the top and recoils when the smell hits him.. Venis looks inside.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] There was a weird.. Powder.. On Hassan when I found him..

-[[ He looks at Dreamer, sneering.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Ashes, maybe?

-[[ Dreamer shrugs. ]]-

[ Tommy Dreamer ] Taz does what he wants. I just drive him from city to city.

-[[ Venis shakes his head and dips some fingers into the urn.. He pulls them out, they're covered in black ash.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] This isn't what was on Hassan..

-[[ He pushes the urn into Dreamer's chest... ]]-

[ Val Venis ] It wasn't you.... Get out of here.

-[[ Dreamer walks off down the hall, leaving Venis and Orlando alone.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] Someone's going through a lot of trouble for this, Orlando...

-[[ He looks down at the ashy Taz remains on his hand.. ]]-

[ Val Venis ] I don't like this at all.

-[[ Fade. ]]-

-[[ We cut to a part backstage where we see Edge and Christian. They're still walking around with the petition to try to rid Solid Gold of Maria. They're currently alone and talking among themselves besides a Coca-Cola machine. ]]-

[ Edge ] Wow, bro, over two-thousand signatures. Maria's out like a fat kid in dodgeball.

[ Christian ] Yeah. And she's going to be like AJ Styles in a charisma judging contest...Losing!

[ Edge ] That was a lame comparison.

-[[ Christian shrugs with a goofy smile on his face. ]]-

[ Christian ] Hey, I'm the Captain of Charisma, Edge..I know charisma, and AJ Styles has none.

-[[ AJ Styles walks up out of no where looking pissed. Edge and Christian spot him. ]]-

[ AJ Styles ] Seriously guys, why you two got to talk like that?

[ Edge ] Who the hell are you?

[ AJ Styles ] I'm-

[ Christian ] The next guy to sign this petition.

-[[ Christian crams the petition into AJ's chest. AJ looks it over all the way to the last page. He cocks his eyebrow. ]]-

[ AJ Styles ] Uh, Christian..

[ Christian ] Yeah?

[ AJ Styles ] Isn't Curt Hennig dead?

[ Christian ] You'd think that.

[ AJ Styles ] ...And isn't Rocco Rock?

-[[ Edge is losing his temper. ]]-

[ Edge ] Look, sign the damn petition and go practice your flips and crap.

-[[ AJ signs. ]]-

[ AJ Styles ] They're planchas.

-[[ AJ walks away and Chavo and Pepe take his spot. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] Hey guys, what's going on?

[ Edge ] Chavo my man, just getting some people to sign this petition to get rid of Maria.

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] Still? C'mon guys, what's wrong with Maria? She's trying her best.

[ Christian ] Yeah, so is Michael Shane but the results just aren't coming. Seriously Chavo, think about it. Maria's killed Alf, Lassie, Taz, and other random television icons we probably don't know about yet. Heck, for all you know.. Pepe could be next!

-[[ Chavo clings to Pepe tightly. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] No way! Pepe will never die! He's been through wood chippers, been broken, head's been ripped off and everything through the years! Pepe is like Matt Hardy, he'll never die!

[ Edge ] Whatever.

-[[ Edge sticks out the petition. ]]-

[ Edge ] Sign.

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] No way! I like Maria! Pepe does too!

[ Christian ] Look, Chavo, quit being stupid. Sign the petition. Look, Eddie did. Follow your uncle's footsteps.

-[[ Chavo looks it over. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] My uncle Eddie's dead guys! Dead since November!

[ Edge ] Being dead doesn't eliminate you from being APW Champion, it just eliminates you from being oxygen. Nothing major. Just sign it, Chavo.

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] NO! Peer pressure is bad!

[ Christian ] We're not making you smoke weed or anything, that's Val Venis' department. Just sign the petition before we forge your signature like we did Abraham Lincoln's.

-[[ Blank stare from Chavo. ]]-

[ Christian ] April Fools.

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] Nope. I'm not signing anything. Maria is doing a fine job.

[ Christian ] Look you stupid idiot, sign the petition before I show you why my one World title reign lasted longer than both of yours...Hell, not only lasted longer than both of yours, but DOUBLED the length of your two.

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] All I got to say is two words.. GRAND...SLAM!

-[[ Christian looks Chavo in the eyes. ]]-

[ Christian ] All I got to say Chavo...BETTER THAN YOU!

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] I thought we were friends.

-[[ Edge shakes his head. ]]-

[ Edge ] We're not Barney.

-[[ Chavo takes the petition and looks it over again. ]]-

[ Chavo Guerrero Jr. ] Fine.. Hand me a pen.

-[[ Chavo sighs and takes the pen. He looks at it for a second and throws the pen at Christian and RUNS! CHAVO RUNS FROM THE SCENE AND THROWS THE PETITION IN THE TRASH! Edge and Christian stop chasing after the SGW Grand Slammer and Edge takes the petition from the trash. ]]-

[ Edge ] We'll get him for that stunt... We'll get him.

-[[ Storm motions for Masters to hold Austin up... And he reaches down and locks Austin back in the MASTERLOCK.. He holds Austin in place as Storm gets in his face with the microphone.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.. At World Warrior.. I will defeat you.. Because I am the better competitor... Here in Solid Gold Wrestling.. I have yet to be pinned... For nearly three months.. I have been.. UNDEFEATED!! And the one time we stepped in the ring in the past... I pinned your shoulders to the mat...

-[[ Austin looks furious, fighting against Masters, but Masters holds him tightly.. ]]-

[ Lance Storm ] This time... At World Warrior... My victory will be much more satisfying.. As I will force you, several times over the course of the match.. To tap out.. To scream in pain...

At World Warrior, to celebrate the occasion, I'm bringing the SGW Intercontinental Championship out of retirement!!

-[[ Raven looks back at the Meanie then at Jillian.. ]]-

[ Raven ] ...Isn't that the same thing as the United States Championship?

-[[ She looks down.. Then back up.. ]]-

[ Jillian Hall ] Yes and no.. But that's irrelevant.. Because there's going to be a battle royal at World Warrior for that championship belt.. AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN IT..
