**We begin a few days before the Obliteration’s Playground Edition of Worldwide, on what looks to be a boat. There are no lights on, but noises can be heard off in the distance, as if someone moving around. The camera begins to move off in that direction, but every time they turn a corner where they think the noise is coming from either there is no one, or the noise completely stops. They eventually turn a corner into one of the rooms and they can see someone sitting on the floor in the corner of the room, with a long hoodie on, with the hood down on his head, and his head lowered towards the ground, so nothing can be seen of him. He slowly raises his head into the air, and pulling the hoodie up slightly to show that he is Andrew Ryder himself.**

 Andrew Ryder: On this night, one of our very own superstars is the guest general manager for the night, so he is in charge of every single thing. Including making matches, wow what a turn of events huh? Well as it goes he made a gauntlet match where Akuma has to go up against 5 different guys, one after the other, win or loss he still has to face the next opponent unlike most gauntlet matches, where when they loose their night is done.

**Andrew Ryder leans back against the wall, propping himself up looking straight into the camera as he again begins to speak.**

Andrew Ryder: Akuma, you are really going to have your night cut out for you, you have 5 matches right back to back, with no chance of a break really in between. Do you think you have the stamina to survive the 5 matches? Do you think you are going to win every single match? I don’t think so Akuma, on either one of those questions, when two of these guys just managed to take out the biggest tag team in the PWSI The Cherokee Indian Alliance, Hawk and Patrick. Tonight you are also getting Hawk and Patrick’s brother Mack. Mack, along with Corey Bull, and Kevin Kayfabe makes 4, counting myself, so with huge guys in the match such as us 4, why would you even think that you have a chance?

Victor: Annnndy my boy, you know just like you are going to do with Akuma tonight that can and will make you into whatever I choose. When you are in the ring, I will be the dominant one; I can control you at any moment and make your actions mine. Mine, mine all mine. Akuma will face nothing until he comes face to face with my Annnndy.

Andrew Ryder: Akuma, in a few ways we are alike, you have that side of you in the ring once someone seemingly makes you mad, that you go into, where you begin to use under handed tactics in order to win. Just like you people call me crazy, and act like I have some sort of second personality, I myself don’t see it, but that’s what they say. So yeah we have a few things in common, yet Akuma, we are nothing alike, don’t you think that you going into you “God” whatever you call it, will stop me from kicking your ass here tonight, just like the rest of the guys, neither one of us is going to stop at nothing until we pick up that victory against you.

**Andrew Storm leans his head back as to where it is touching the wall, as he begins to laugh somewhat evilly before beginning to speak again.**

Andrew Ryder: Just think about this Akuma, you could go out of tonight’s matches, with 5 losses under your belt. How would that make you feel?

Victor: Remember Annndy my son, it will be I who will be the one choosing your actions. It is all in my mind control and you will not resist the voice inside of you, me the commander and actor in chief. Remember Annnndy; I am the ruler, king of the castle. You are right though, Akuma will not have faced anyone like you until he steps between the ropes and faces a true monster in the ring, such as yourself Annndy my boy.

Andrew Ryder (in an evil voice): Your body is the route to my evil; I will place no mercy on your “fair” tactics.

**There can be noises heard coming from the entrance way, very close to Andrew, as the camera zooms in that direction, a shadowy type figure can be seen.**

Andrew Ryder: Akuma if anyone can understand where you are coming from it is me, we know there is more to this match or any match that we are in then our single mind alone. To fight the opponent that everyone sees will dealing with hat inner fire that no one sees, until we let them see a part of it, in the ring. Tonight everyone will see a part of that fire that burns inside of me, you and I will be facing off in the ring once again. The fire speaks to us and desires to inhabit our total being not only our bodies but our minds as if replacing who we are, but Akuma for me that is not going to happen, part of the real me will still be there, I am not going to let that fire consume me.

Victor: Akuma is a rag doll nothing but a shell of the opponent that I will be matching wits with. That opponent being you my son, Annndy. Annndy my boy, are you ready for the fight of your life, not only with me, but also with Akuma?

Andrew Ryder: Yes I am ready Victor, I am not a novice, to the fight ahead, it is just one in a trail of fights I have been through. But Victor why don’t you go off somewhere and talk about that ghost over there, or something and leave me alone. I can handle my own matches in the ring, and I do not need you or want you with me, you don’t belong here with me.

**Andrew Ryder looks off in the distance for a moment with a far away look in his expression before it changes back to one of seriousness, as he looks straight into the camera as if sending a message.**

Andrew Ryder: I really don’t know which order of the opponents you are going to have Akuma, but lord be with you, because you have 5 tough opponents that are looking to take you out. It doesn’t matter what order the opponents will be, Akuma, because either way by the time you get to me, whether you have already lost a match or not, you will get a loss against me. The randomness of the order of opponents will make this match more enjoyable for the fans, and even the other wrestlers that is waiting to come out, because they have to be on their toes in order to know when to get ready.

Victor: Annnndy, this is going to be a hardcore rated match no playing your good fair guy act. You know Akuma will bring a weapon into this match to use to slice you like bacon in front of the crowd.

Andrew Ryder: I know the match is a hardcore match. Victor, I know everything about being hardcore, after all I am a former 2 time Rated-R-Champion, which means I was in some hardcore style matches, and even some street fights, and other hardcore type matches. SO VICTOR I can be hardcore when I have too, I do not always play the good guy act, tonight when I step into the ring, it will be one of those times, that the good guy is out the window, because anything goes, and I know he will be looking to do anything that he can to get the victory over me, and as quick as possible so he can possibly go on to the next opponent, or end the match, if I am the last opponent of his.

**All of a sudden a noise can be heard as if something was thrown against the wall, as the camera moves over to the side, the table that was against the wall is now broken in half and laying about middle way of the floor.**

Victor: Key point Annndy you are a former Rated R Champion, you really didn’t hold that title very long when you had it. So you aren’t that much of a hardcore expert as you act like. Yet with me overpowering you, you will be a hardcore expert in no time, because I will come out and shine through. Nothing will get past me in this match Annnnnnnndy. The powers beyond your control will be dueling this one out.

**In the background the strange noises begin to pick up once more from other rooms, as one sounds like a chain rattling from the ceiling, as if someone is trying to get free from being held captive. From out of no where, a steel chair flies into the room, straight at Andrew, and he ducks under it as he slams against the wall behind him. He picks it up looking at it funny for a few moments before, an evil smirk appears on his face, as out of the corner of his eye he sees something else flying at him, he swings the chair towards it, hitting the object, as it falls straight to the ground at Andrew’s feet. The scene ends with the sound of a mixture of two voices laughing evilly.**

**The scene begins directly inside of The Clink Prison Museum in London England, where a tour can be seen going on inside. Everyone moves around looking at some torture devices that has been used in the prison before it was transformed into a museum. Everything has an eerie look to it, after a little while of navigating around, the camera focuses in on one person in general out of the rest of the group. This person has broke out on his own, and begins moving away from the rest, and he moves towards one certain device. He seems to have a tranced look on his face, as if fixed on the device itself. As the camera gets closer to the person, he can be seen as PWSI superstar Andrew Ryder himself. Andrew Ryder is having a little site seeing, days before his upcoming match with David Shane.**

Andrew Ryder: We come to the third straight week of the Champions Tournament, so far in the two matches I have been involved in, I have been defeated. Tonight I will be facing off against someone, whom I have faced off on multiple occasions before, David Shane himself, this could be dangerous for either one of us. We both know the other ones style, so we will be looking to stop each other in our tracks, but for David that is not going to work.

**Andrew Ryder makes his way forward a little ways more, and makes it to the torture device that he has been staring at. It looks very similar to this one.

The Rack

This device is one that was seen just weeks ago, in the corner of the basement, where the flashback from Andrew’s past was shown. Andrew has a very distant look as he again begins to speak**

Andrew Ryder: The torture device for all of you that doesn’t know, is called the rack, it is a contraption designed to dislocate every single joint in its victim’s body. After you are tied onto the device board by the ankles and wrists, the body is then pulled in many directions by the torturer turning the rollers at either end of the board. This can do very, very bad damage to a person, not just in a physical way, but mental.

**Andrew Ryder gets a wild look in his eyes, before a strange sounding voice comes over, his eyes has a yellowish glow to them. Andrew stands there as if frozen in time, not moving an inch**

Victor: Annnnndy, you would know first hand about this trap wouldn’t you. So you say anyway, yet you are still in your captures trap, just in a different form these days. These days you are free to do what you want when you want, but you are still captive. Tonight, you face off against someone that isn’t as crazy, or mentally incapable, as you are, but you are facing off against a most dangerous guy.

Andrew Ryder: David Shane, you have beaten me before on multiple occasions. Yet I have changed, I am no longer the go with the flow guy I used to be. This time it will be you who falls into the darkness. The darkness will be deeper for I will keep him painfully within my bounds of the torture without reprieve. This will be a match like none of our other matches David, are you ready?

Victor: My sonnnn, do you realize what that means for you, you will stop at nothing to get what you want. Tonight, when you face off against David Shane, he will be trying to stop you from achieving your goal of victory. Are you about to let that happen tonight, or any night from now on?

**Andrew Ryder slowly begins to shake his head no, as if still in some kind of trance.**

Victor: My demon sonnnn will arise and the torture chamber will be you Annnndy, the victim of this torture device known as Andrew Ryder, will be the opponent David Shane. David are you positive you want to step into this device? This is going to be very painful for you, and the force behind the executor is without boundaries. It will continue long after the ref tries to intervene. My Annnndy as if in a blackout will continue on and on. 

**Andrew Ryder begins to shake his head for a few moments before bringing his attention back to the camera in front of him. As if he is seeing it for the first time again.**

Andrew Ryder: For once, Victor you will be an advantage to have around. I think I just may end up being that monster that I know you are now, the fans will flee. But do not believe for an instant that I cannot stop you before his death. For that my intention is only to win this match, nothing more, nothing less.

Victor: With that then my sonnn your nickname of “The Killer” contradicts just who you are? Annndy you talk about you not being a killer, yet I know differently. You might get stopped before you kill David, but it wont be because you have stopped yourself. It damn sure wont be because I have stopped you either my son. Don’t believe for a minute that I have any remorse for anything that you do to David Shane.

**Andrew Ryder begins to stare at the torture device one more time, before slowly lowering himself onto the device, as if in a flashback of a previous time. He’s looking as if nothing will faze him as he is in the mist of what he is doing. He lays flat against the board, with his legs and arms spread as they are supposed to be, Andrew lies there for a few moments as if expecting someone to begin to move the rollers. After a moment the rollers do begin to move, as he continues to glare straight ahead with his yellowish tint to his eyes. After a moment of the rollers move, it comes to a stop with the tension being extorted on Andrew’s arms. Andrew Storm begins to laugh methodically.**

 

 

Scene 2 begins

**The scene opens returning from a commercial break in the earlier portions of the Worldwide event, as a quick preview comes across the screen of both David Shane’s and Andrew Ryder’s matches from last week. With Andrew’s match being the last one shown as the cameras roll out to the ring as the fans are on the edge of their seats. “I Stand Alone” by Godsmack plays over the arena speakers as “The Killer” Andrew Ryder makes his way methodically down the entrance ramp. He walks around the ring and grabs a microphone from the announcer’s table and slides under the ropes into the ring. He puts the microphone in his back pocket as he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and does his trademark taunt as some fans cheer him while the others boo him, the mixture comes together as a chorus. He repeats this on all three remaining turnbuckles. While on the last turnbuckle a voiceover can be heard throughout the speakers, as the finishing touches to Godsmack finishes playing.**

Victor: We have the one-man torture chamber himself, the man that is going to be single handedly responsible for taking out David Shane. This is the Champion’s League, my sonnn has been a champion and will become a champion once again, tonight David, and you will fall to the man himself “The Killer” Andrew Ryder.

**Andrew Ryder jumps down from the second rope where he was standing and the spotlight goes on him as he moves to the center of the ring. He stands in the center for a moment before bracing against the top rope facing towards the titantron screen.**

Andrew Ryder: Tonight’s match is yours truly vs. David Shane in a Champion’s League Group B tournament bracket. Before coming out here, you guys were forced fed that same video package that they’ve been showing since last week’s edition of Worldwide. Tonight is the two losers of their respected championship tournament matches going head to head. David Shane, I understand your whole predicament with why you chose the wrestling name David Shane over your real name of David Cain. I have got to give you mad props for doing that and not comforting to societal pressures and your father’s birth name but that is not going to stop me from kicking your ass tonight in the middle of this ring.

**Andrew Ryder looks around him at the fans, before looking back straight into the camera, that zooms towards him a little bit.**

Andrew Ryder: Look into my eyes and tell me what you see David? Do you see a father? A husband? A brother? A nice guy? Because whenever I look myself in the mirror all I see looking back at myself are a set of ice-cold blue eyes that are ready to do anything to its opponent.

**The yellowish glare of Andrew Ryder’s eyes begins to come back, into his eyes, at the mention of the opponent.**

Victor: The grueling piece of this show will be the length of torture as it takes it’s sweet ass time, never relenting savoring each gasp, quiver and moan that will escape the lips of David Shane, as it travels through his extremities. The crowd will plead for release of the captive one, or at least part of the crowd, the other part will be cheering my sonnn on, as he deals the damage onto the body of the victim.

**Andrew Ryder moves over closer to the ropes, as he leans forward closer to the ropes, as if about to flip over the ropes, instead he launches himself upwards onto the middle rope, and looks out.** 

Andrew Ryder: David Shane, you have done some tremendous things in your career but so have I. I am not talking to bloat my own ego but really do you think that you are going to be able to stop “The Killer” Andrew Ryder tonight in our match? I know that the replay of last week’s match is probably cued off somewhere on tape so that you could watch it over and over again as Mr. Anderson beat me last week but that was last week. Tonight’s another totally different story so don’t think that you are going to get so lucky like Mrrrrrrrrrrrr. Anderson… Anderson managed to do.

Victor: Tonight, control is the name of the game. The control can swing back and forth multiple times during the match, so David, it bores down to whomever can get the bigger advantage. My sonnn, Annnnndy will be the one with the advantage tonight, for the final count down. It will be you laying on your back, getting counted down, your shoulders, will not come off the mat, to break up the pinfall, or either you’ll tap out from his hold. Or you will pass out from the pressure on you.

**Andrew Ryder pushes himself off the middle rope landing back into the center of the ring. Andrew begins to pace around the ring, his mouth is seen moving as if he is talking, but it is inaudible to the microphone as he continues pacing around the ring. As the cameras zoom out as he paces back and forth in the ring faster and faster until the point where he throws himself against the ropes. He runs forward towards one of the turnbuckles as he rips the turnbuckle padding completely away. Andrew slams completely into the exposed turnbuckle head first as he falls backwards down to the mat. Drops of blood can be seen dripping down his head, as he just lays there as the fans and the cameras become worried for Andrew Ryder. As soon as they have a chance to breathe in, Andrew sits up and has a sadistic grin on his face before climbing the turnbuckle and doing his trademark pose once again. “I Stand Alone” by Godsmack plays again over the PA System as he slides out from the ring and jumps over the barricade. Andrew Ryder his back to his locker room through the live crowd as they are chanting his name and throwing up signs of “The Killer” Andrew Ryder, as the scene fades to black heading to commercials for sponsors for Pro Wrestling Smarks International.**

**The scene begins outside of an old unused mental asylum that hasn’t been used in many many years now. The asylum is a very dark building, with the only light coming from a corner of the building, where a candle is lit. The camera begins to follow the light, as if knowing where exactly they are heading, before finding where they are, they hear a high pitched scream coming from one of the dark rooms, but as they look around there is nothing there. They continue to make their way down towards the room with the light; they finally make their way there, and begin to look around for someone. For a minute no one can be seen, before someone begins to snake their way out from their spot under the corner of a springy bed. As the person begins to look straight into the camera, the eyes are a yellowish tint, as if looking into a cat’s eyes. The person then can be seen as Andrew Ryder himself, as he is still snaking his way towards the camera.**

Andrew Ryder: The Championship League has been underway for now a week, and I am on the loosing end of it, with a 0, where as my opponent tonight Mr. Anderson has a 3. Tonight we step in the ring to face off against each other, and you know I am looking for that victory, unlike any other victory before, I am looking for this one even more then the rest. This one will mean being out of the tournament completely pretty much, or being in the run. Mr. Anderson everyone knows we have a huge past with each other, going from being opponents, then to being partners, and then once again being opponents. Including both of us taking each other out of the Battlebowl match, to facing off one on one with each other. Tonight we are facing off once again, do you realize what that means Anderson.

**Andrew Ryder has snaked his way forward enough where he is right below the camera, looking upwards into it, with an evil glare in his eyes.**

Victor: Anderson, yes you have face off against my Annnndy before, but you haven’t faced off against the man that he is today. You haven’t seen the change in him that everyone else has, there has been a huge change in this man that everyone knows as Andrew Ryder, but I have seen the change, everyone that watches him has seen the change. Mr. Anderson you are in for a huge task on your hands when you face off against my son.

**The evil look in Andrew’s eyes begins to get more evil, at the final two words that the voice has spoken. Off in the corner of the room, a crack can be heard as something seems to have fallen.**

Andrew Ryder: Mr. Anderson, have you really known how it feels to be attacked by someone that you looked up too, and admired. No if I know you like I think I do, you haven’t, well I have, and it changes a person, for life. It might take awhile for the change to occur but once it does, someone can’t be brought back to reality without the help of some professionals, but once the person refuses to see that help, there is nothing that no one can do. Just like a lot of the souls that is still here in this asylum these souls refused to be helped or either couldn’t be helped, whichever the case maybe.

**Andrew Ryder begins to move away from the camera a little bit before changing his directions, he moves towards his right just slightly until he comes up to the area where the crack came from moments before.**

Victor: My son is not something that many people would classify as a human being, due to everything that he thinks he went through as a child. Most people would even classify him as being demonic. But human he is not, the only human part is that he is married with kids, even those things haven’t a back seat, to his demonic ways as of late, and that is the way it will remain, for a long while until my son, has gained what is rightfully his. Most places state a demon as being a spiritual entity that may be conjured up and controlled. Well that control is by me. My son is under my control, and that will remain.

**Andrew Ryder climbs onto his heels for a moment but kneeling, he then puts one knee down on the floor, as he is now kneeling on one knee. He raises his arm towards the camera slightly, as if reaching directly for it.**

Andrew Ryder: Mr. Anderson you loud mouthed mortal human, what have you done in this business, as a matter of fact… I really don’t think that you have done to much at all if I am correct. Where I have done a lot for this business, became a tag champ, a heavyweight champion in PWS, and a champion in PWSX, the only one I have accomplished is gaining the PWSI Championship. That will take place, I have yet to live up to my goals, but that will all change just like I have changed. At first I tried to keep my powers at bay and under control, but now they are unleashed for the world to see, feel and for the world to FEAR.

**There is a moment of silence after Andrew Ryder finishes speaking, with no sound being heard except for the deep breathing coming from Andrew Ryder himself, as if he is a rabid dog.**

Victor: That’s right my son embrace what you have, you have the power, the strength and everything else. You will be the champion once again, in the very near future, I my son, will see to that. You will become what you are destined to be, the champion. You will once again reign supreme; all of this fight starts tonight when you release your powers on Mr. Anderson himself. He will realize that he should just stay away from my son, Andrew. 

**Andrew Ryder continues to kneel in the same position with his arm outstretched slightly. After a moment, a huge crash can be heard coming from the next room over. Then the sound of a high pitched scream, can be heard once more.**

Andrew Ryder: Anderson, you are going to regret the day that you ever set foot in the ring with me, any of the times you have set foot in the ring with me before now, and even now you are going to regret it. You are going to realize, just what it means to feel pain, you are going to realize what it means to fall to the hands of Andrew Ryder, there are plenty of people that has fallen at my hands, but none the way you will, because I am a changed man. My bio father might be the FOW founder Jayson Ryder, but he doesn’t control my powers, and no one else does. I control my own powers and it is time for them to be let out into the open for everyone to see. One thing that will remain true, is that you will never forget the name of Andrew…Ryder.

**Andrew Ryder looks to be in some sort of trance, as he continues to stay in the position without moving, he uncurls just a little bit, only to raise the arm upwards. He motions towards the door as if announcing that it is over, before again lowering his arm in the outstretched position. Another loud crash can be heard with this, along with some crackling noises, as smoke begins to feel up the room, along with panels of the ceiling falling in. The seen ends with the whole floor above falling in.**

**The scene opens up at a local bar nearby the Pro Wrestling Smarks International head office building in Las Vegas, Nevada. The camera zooms into a tall man in the shadows who is seen drinking a Bud Light beer. The camera moves closer to the person, as the camera makes it to the persons face, he is revealed to be Andrew Ryder. Andrew looks straight into the camera and begins speaking.**

Andrew Ryder: This week we are having the Championship League matches, where there are 4 guys counting myself in the section B, David Shane, Mr. Anderson, Mike Dunn and myself. I am facing off against Mike Dunn, the big humongous gorilla, the product of Jack Dunn’s loin. Jackie boy, you think by having your son face me this week on PWSI Worldwide is going to intimidate me, I am sorry but your mistaken because there is no one out there in the business that will ever force or cause me to stop being myself. Mike Dunn, you big walking dummy, you go around trying to say that you’re the biggest animal in all of professional wrestling but you need to look into my eyes when I say this.

**The camera zooms closer to Andrew, until only his eyes can be seen.**

Andrew Ryder: I am the real beast around here and everyone in the back knows so.

**A second voice can be heard speaking up. The voice that Andrew always calls Victor**

Victor: Annnnndy, Andrew my boy, you are half right with your statement, you said that no one in the business will make you stop being yourself. That part is true, because the one person that can, isn’t in the business, that person is me. I will make you change yourself, really from my view point Andrew, you already have. You might not see it, but I see it, and so does your lovely wife. You are right on another point Mike Dunn, isn’t a guy to be messed with, you have to watch out for him Annnndy, he can quickly take you out, so watch him very closely.

**Andrew Ryder’s eyes changes to more of a deep, deep blue as he stares coldly into the camera, seemingly ignoring the voice. The cameraman gets a little scared and runs off leaving the camera behind so Andrew grabs it from the floor and begins to film himself. Staring more intently into the camera.**

Andrew Ryder: This is what’s in store for you, Mike, the minute you step into the ring with yours truly, “The Killer” Andrew Ryder. I will dissect every part of your body, as I will come raining down with punches on you big man. And unless you have thick skin over that blubber, it is gonna hurt. I’ll be raining those punches on you so fast and so strong you will be shielding yourself instead of wrestling. You’ll hear the crowd cheering for me above the ringing in your ears. I can already hear it now.

**Andrew Ryder begins to smile, as a voice over can be heard of fans chanting, Ry…der…Ry…der…Ry…der.**

Victor: The Killer, is that what you call yourself Andrew. You a Killer, really, really, really, you don’t have it in you Andrew, to kill anyone.

Andrew Ryder: Sureeeeee Victor, whatever you say, you haven’t been watching me then, because you would see some of my matches, where I took out some of the toughest stars.

Victor: Do you really, really, think that those punches of yours are going to be able to stop Mike, you are more dumb then I thought you were, if you think that is going to stop him. Don’t let him to close to you Annndy, because you wouldn’t want him on top of you ever, the weight alone would be hard to muster, unless of course you have the strength in your legs to use momentum and push with your all to flip him off.

**Andrew Ryder takes another swig of his beer before continuing, seeing as him talking about Mike Dunn, and hearing the other voice, made him real thirsty.

Andrew Ryder: It doesn’t matter whether I hit you with the Ryder Stretch, the AKR Slam, The Destroyer Bomb, or even The Killer Punt because no matter which one I choose it will cause you nothing but agonizing pain and defeat. I’ve seen your finisher, the Mass Effect and it might be able to put away smaller guys but in case you forgot Mike, I am no small guy. I am a 6 foot 8 inch, two hundred and fifty pound killer so you are going to need more than just the Mass Effect to beat me. I am known to go out of the norms in order to beat my opponent.

Victor: You can’t overlook that move of his Annnnndy, it might take out some smaller guys, but it can take out the bigger guys too. So don’t take that move too lightly. When have you ever been normal my son.

**Andrew Ryder gets an enraged look on his face, with the mention of the words, my son.**

Andrew Ryder: That there is something that you need to keep in the back of your mind Mike, because I am not going to be held responsible for my actions against you. Your father wants to try and use you as a weapon of mass destruction in hopes of taking me out and leaving me on the shelf but I am afraid that your father is sadly mistaken because a normal man has limits and knows when he is at his wits end but you see I am not a normal man.

Victor: Annnndy, I see you like your beer, you shouldn’t be drinking at the moment. But enjoy that beer, because we will see at the end of the match who will be bathed in champagne. 

Andrew Ryder: I have no limits and I have no remorse for my opponents. I won’t stop just because of a little injury from kicking your ass all over that arena in Switzerland Mike Dunn, for far too long you have been treated as a spoiled brat getting everything that you wanted but come time for our match in Switzerland, there is nothing no one can do to help you get yourself out of this match because I am not going to allow them to. Mike Dunn, you seem like a nice guy but it is your father that puts you in sticky situations so that is something if I were you that I would try to fix with my father before coming out to the ring for the next match your father interjects you into.

**Andrew Ryder orders another beer and continues speaking into the camera, ignoring the warnings from Victor that he should slack off on the drinking. Andrew after a moment stops in his tracks, realizing that he doesn’t need to be drinking at the moment, he gets an enraged look on his face before throwing the beer against the wall.**

Andrew Ryder: Mike Dunn, you cut a darn good promo package bringing up that I am a former 3 time World Champion, and that I need to bring my game up to the level of the legends in this business but I think you need to be the one to look in the mirror because unlike yourself I am at that level and this week on Worldwide you’re going to find that out firsthand the hard way. Mike Dunn, while you were away for some time doing who knows what, I have been perfecting my craft and making my move set better in the ring so you are in for a nice surprise when the two of us get in the ring. Mike Dunn, you seem to know a lot about everything and me. The I in PWSI stands for International as it is something greater than normal so what is what I am going to show the fans around the world especially the sold-out crowd in Switzerland when I beat you in this Champions League match, you and I both are representing group B, and I will be the victor in this match. You will fall down to obscurity.

**Andrew Ryder walks over to the broken beer bottle laying on the ground, as the glass shards are laying all around, he picks one of them up, and pulls it towards his head slightly cutting a small gash in his head that begins to pour blood down the front of his face. Andrew gets an evil look in his eyes as he is transforming. With the blood still in his face he pays for his tab, and walks out. He reaches up wiping some of the blood off his head, and rubs it against his shirt; the blood can be seen on his shirt, in an X shape. He walks across the street to the airport parking lot where his truck is parked. He grabs his gear out of the truck and heads towards the airport. He shakes his head, as some of the blood shakes off. Andrew Ryder takes off the shirt he has own and uses it to wipe the blood off his forehead, and changes into another shirt. At this point the blood as dwindled down, and it is just a cut across his head, but isn’t bleeding.**

Victor: This can be the proof of what kind of man my son… Annnndy has turned into as of late, he is no longer the pussy type Andrew, that would turn over for anyone. He will do anything and everything to get a victory, so Mike get ready for a war. Be jealous of my son, once he is victorious.

**Andrew Ryder walks through the scanning and shows his boarding pass as he waits with others in the waiting area for the plane. They call his row as he shows the flight attendant his plane ticket as he boards the plane. He orders a coffee after he takes his seat and the plane is in the air. Shortly after the airplane hostess brings Andrew Ryder his coffee. He thanks her and begins to take a sip of the coffee. Afterwards he lays his head back against the seat, resting his eyes for a little while. The scene skips on until the plane is about to land. Andrew Ryder looks out of the window with an intense stare. He sees the clouds overhead of the landing. The plane lands, and he unboards the plane, grabbing his carrying on bag, which is his only luggage. His private chauffeur is there waiting on him, they leave the airport, as the scene draws to a close.**

**The scene begins with pitch-black darkness, with nothing being able to be made out, no single place, thing or person can be made out. Only sounds can be heard in the background of someone or something moving around. A shadowy figure after a moment can be made out on what looks to be a wall, from the one lone dim light in the corner. The shadow appears to be by himself, even though two voices can be heard in the conversation that ensues afterwards. The second voice is kind of evil sounding.**

Voice #1: I was ready, ready all ablaze for a match that never materialized. The idiot decided that he was going to back out of the match; decided that he was going to take a stand against PWSI. Until he was actually put into some huge matches, that he was going to take a stand. That fire within me, that was in me on that night, still not snuffed out until I get into that ring one more time.

**As the voice trails off for a minute, the song Gasoline by Audioslave can be heard in the background. After a good while of the song playing it changes drastically to that of I Stand Alone by Godsmack.**

Voice #2: I am what fuels that fire inside of you, everyone now knows about me. They are not coming near you ever again all your matches are done, before they ever begin. You will never snuff me out; I will cause you to spontaneously combust. None of your opponents even take you seriously in the first place, especially now, it is proved that they done take you seriously with Padraig backing out of that match against you.

Voice #1: Oh that is where you are wrong, they might not respect me, but they fear me. That is why the idiot Padraig, refused the match with me, he fears me, not because I am someone that he doesn’t want to face because he looks them over, but because he is scared that he’s going to get his ass kicked. Little does he know that he is going to have to go up against me tonight though, tonight it will be not only the two of us, but several others in a battle of the countries.

**The shadowy figure begins to move towards the light, making the shadow change; the figure never steps out into the open where he can be seen from the light though. His shadow remains in focus though.**

Voice #2: You have tried to deny your inner voice, how dare you! I have control. Complete control of your fate…your future…your destiny. You are nothing but the vehicle, I am the driver.

Voice #1: You have control over nothing, not your own self, not your life, not my life, and especially not my career. I control my own self now Victor, you don’t control me anymore. I am not locked up in that room, I am not being held back by your control, you don’t scare me any longer. No one got the chance to see what the new more focused me, could do because of Padraig backing out of the match this week, hopefully he will do the same this week, hey that would bring me one opponent down. One that I won’t have to worry about, yet it wont happen, because he is getting his way about it. The idiot is actually getting his way, he is getting more challenging matches, how does he manage to get everything that he wants in this business.

**The voice begins to get stronger, as it closes towards the light, as it gets far enough where the person should be able to be made out. A huge cloud of smoke begins to fuel up from seemingly out of nowhere, as it can’t be seen coming from anywhere, other than right up around the person. Once the smoke begins to clear, the person can be made out. The person is Andrew Ryder himself, which most would have already figured out.**

Voice #2: We will see, this is not ying and yang but dueling forces. I am a part of you, whether you like it or not. You are going to have to put up with me. You can try to ignore me but it isn’t going to work, I will be there, and I will do whatever I want. It will be, that gets the win in this war.

Andrew Ryder: In the match everyone is from different countries each representing that country, the winner of this PWSI War of Nations, will receive a match of their choosing at the Anniversary show. Hmmm I have several matches in mind that would be great decisions, so I know I will be walking out tonight the victor.

Voice #2: You rang master.

**There is an evil sort of laughter in the background before Andrew Ryder shakes his head with a disgusted look, and continues to speak.**

Andrew Ryder: One of these countries that is being represented is Mexico that by PWSI’s very own Eddie Lopez. Eddie and I have a past, back and forth matches, including one all around the backstage area with many other opponents. The past, is just that the past. Tonight is the present, and a different day, different person in general, different everything, including the setting is going to be very very different. Instead of fighting in the backstage areas we are going to be directly in the ring, where a weapon is legal to be used, that doesn’t sound very good for any of you guys in this match. That is one thing that was pretty much drilled in me, is how to use a weapon, or how to take a shot from one, by someone that will remain nameless.

Voice #2: Those matches that Eddie has been in before, he has pretty much been dominant hasn’t he Annndy. I think so; he has been dominant when it comes to matches against you yourself. Yet Eddie, that was way before I took over, now I have the charge, so everything is going to be very different.

Andrew Ryder: A lot of the people in this match have a lot to learn upon entering the ring for this match with Andrew Ryder? Eddie you may think you know all about me from past matches, well I am rising beyond all of the past issues, I now am not only fighting against the wrestlers but against, some inner demons. Those demons are going to push me to victory tonight. Eddie, are you ready to be sent back to the hospital once again, I know all about your injuries from your huge tag team match awhile back, so are you ready to be sent back? This match could really do that for you, and for any of the others in the match, I will not be one of those people that is sent to the hospital with injuries afterwards.

Voice #2: Tonight everyone will start looking at you differently; they will begin to respect you, as they haven’t been. They will know you are here to stay. You will make it tonight, only due to me, Eddie has been one to know how you are, and then there are others in the match that has never really had to face off against you very much, someone such as Damon.

Andrew Ryder: Damon as a matter of fact, really has never went up against me, if I remember correctly, I could be wrong though. Yet I don’t think I have ever faced him, so that puts Damon at somewhat of an advantage over the rest of these guys, because Damon will go off of other things about me, he wont go about what he has seen in the ring with me before. It’s a good thing that he wont be though, because none of my past is going to be the same, I am going to once again make it to the top, starting tonight, when I win my match I will get a match of my choosing.

Voice #2: Annnndy Don’t think you have Damon completely under your control when I am still right here inside of you ready to strike you down myself. You are not going to have him under your control without me involved Andrew. You need to learn that everything you do I control. I control your every move, your every step, your everything.

Andrew Ryder: Not the same anymore, I am using you now to ignite my matches. You are the fuel that I will use against them now. Outside of that room you are no longer my adversary but my gasoline. Damon at least I can have fun with you, I think you will at least show up to this match, ready to compete and not trying to back out of it. Where I will win by skill not by forfeit. It wont be a forfeit victory here tonight for me, this match is a ladder match, a ladder can come into play at any time in order to hurt someone. I have been in a few of these matches in my career I have seen the damage that can be caused. Can you say the same for yourself Damon?

Voice #2: Now your looking at Dane Shane! He’s got more attitude then you. His appearance on the stage wreaks of attitude and so does his theme song. He is gonna take you out Andrew.

Andrew Ryder: I take it you mean David Shane, yet you are very wrong, he does not have more attitude then me, never has never will. He might be a second-generation superstar and knows the business, very very well, but his attitude is just that, of a second-generation superstar. Since his dad came into the business that attitude only has gotten worse, as if, if he does something wrong in this business today that his dad is going to be able to just wipe it away as if nothing happened. Well David, that isn’t the way it is… You have to work for what you get, and so far I haven’t seen anything good come from you.

Voice #2: You know what Annndy, only a fool believes your wishful thinking. Between my attitude and David’s you are going down Andrew! We are going to be working together against you even if he doesn’t know I am there. You will because I will be in your head tearing you up.

Andrew Ryder: Whatever you say, you can talk all you want, but that is just going to fuel me to take out David, and the rest of these guys more. But David, has more ability then you yourself, you had to have someone locked up in order to do the things you did. Where David, and the rest of these guys in the match, can do what they have to do while the person is fighting back. David, you know for a fact that I will be fighting back, no matter what you do to me, or try to do, I will be there fighting. None of you guys will be able to keep me down, I will continue, and continue to come back.

**Andrew Ryder begins to shake his head for a moment as if thinking about the other two opponents.**

Andrew Ryder: The next guy dresses in a color that isn’t suitable for himself, along with the matching mask like some form of drama queen. Or whatever those flamboyant gay guys are called…umm…Drag Queens that’s it… as if he is hiding his real identity so he is not coming out of the closest. The British Invasion.

Voice #2: What does it matter the color the man wears? He wears that color to signify the best, that is what he is. You are looking for excuses to underscore him.

Andrew Ryder: The guy goes around calling himself the British Invader, what the hell kind of name is that anyway, the man, if you want to call him that, is from England. Yet the name sounds more like he is from somewhere else, and invading England, hence the British Invader. Yet he is from England, that name really doesn’t fit with that logic does it. I guess because when he arrived in PWSI, he was invading PWSI, that’s where the Invader part comes from, yet it really doesn’t work for him. Usually with an invader, no one knows he really is, yet with the British Invader, everyone knows just who he is. He continues to go around the way he is, as the British Invader, though not allowing his real character to be revealed, yet one of these days it will come out, it might just be tonight when he steps in the ring with the rest of us defending our own countries.

Voice #2: Wow about something like that you are trying to get the crowd to boo him so you won’t feel so little when you loose.

Andrew Ryder: They already boo him, don’t need any reason to give them for them to boo him, but now we have the last guy, in the match representing his home country of Ireland, Padraig O’Sullivan. This is the same man that became a chicken last week and decided not to compete in the match against me. Well he was stuck right in another match with me, so what did he get off in not facing off against me last week. Like I stated earlier though, he truly is getting his way though, because, he wanted bigger matches, and now he has a huge ladder match. The winner receives a match of their choosing, so I know he wont try backing out of this match, if he does, then he is truly stupid, or just scared, whichever the case may be.

Voice #2: Here you go with your wishful thinking again. What? Do you live in a fantasy world? You are trying to cover the fact that you hope Padraig won’t show up again. What you hope and what you get are different things. He is gonna show and he is gonna use all his saved energy from last week on you this week.

Andrew Ryder: Padraig, I have seen you wrestle since you have gotten back from your little drinking rehab. So far Paddy, I am sure as hell not impressed, you continue to act like you are the best thing coming, but from you I have seen a hell of a lot better. So talk all the trash that you want about me, or about any of the rest of the guys in this match. Can you really back up that trash talk though? Step into the ring tonight, in this huge ladder match, and we will see just who can back up their trash talking, and it sure as hell wont be you Paddy. You think you did smart by backing out of the match last week, and you gave me a victory, which I would have picked up anyway, once we had stepped into that ring, but before we had a chance to backed out of it. Taking a stand against PWSI, until you started getting better matches blahh blahh blahhh. You think anyone cares about you anyway Paddy?

**Andrew Ryder walks back away from the light, revealing himself back into a shadowy figure, for a little while longer. Until the shadowy figure isn’t seen any longer, and the only sound that can be heard, is an evil laughter coming from the direction that Andrew has just went.**

**The scene begins in an older looking room of a building; it looks to be some sort of basement/dungeon area. The lights are all down the only light coming in from the one window in the corner. The light really isn’t putting out that much as it is being blocked out. Enough light is shining in to be able to see chains and what looks like handcuffs hanging down from above. A moment later a scream can be heard off to the side in one corner, the camera begins to move closer. A man can be seen standing there with a leather strap in hand as he smacks it across a young boy of about 11. As the camera fades around the little boy’s face can be seen. He looks straight into the camera his eyes showing it all. All of his emotions, and all of everything, including the future.**

Sick Man (in a creepy style voice): Annnnndyyyyy….

**The man raises his right arm once again, which is the one holding the strap, at the highest point of the extension, he brings his arm down hard. As he does so the strap snaps across the chest/stomach area of the little boy. The boy this time doesn’t cry out, but instead looks firm straight into the eyes of the man not backing down. The mans creepy voice rings through the little boy’s mind haunting him, as the man speaks the words meant to further insult the physical injuries that the boy has sustained thus far in the dungeon chamber of horrors.**

Sick Man (still creepy voice): YOU… YOU think you’ve had enough?

Boy:  ….

Sick Man: You look at me accusingly yet it is all your fault why you are here. This will not be the first, or even the last of your beatings Annnndyyyyy. There is nothing that you can do or say that will stop me until I feel that your training is completed satisfactorily to my liking. You will thank me one day.

Boy: ….

Sick Man: Without me to teach you the ways, you are nothing and you will never be anything, other than a waste of earth’s space, and oxygen supply.

**The boy looks to get angry with that statement, and tries to attack the man, but is being held back by the chain and wrist clamps holding his hands in place over his head. The man begins to laugh at this show of display from the boy whose name seems to be Andrew, as the man continues calling him Andy.**

Sick Man: That’s it, you want to attack me don’t you, well look at you, you can’t do a damned thing right now. So try all you might, but you can’t get free. You can’t attack me, you realize that don’t you.

**The man raises his hand once again in the air to bring down the strap, but instead drops the strap onto the ground. He begins to bend over himself, and picks up something else that was lying by him; he brings it into the air. It is a nightstick; he raises it into the air, ready to bring it across the back of the boy. As the camera begins to draw away from the horrific scene.**

**Back in the locker room of the Antwerps Sportpaleis arena in Antwerpen, Belgium, as Andrew Ryder is shown lying on the leather couch sleeping. As the scene from a little earlier picks back up as the man reaches forward still with the nightstick and begins to choke the little boy. Andrew Ryder in his sleep state moves back and forth, twisting and turning in what seems to be panic. His voice can be heard over the sound of everything in the hallway, he sounds as if he is struggling for breath.**

Andrew Ryder: NO, Get off me Victor.

**A hand can be seen coming down on the shoulder of Andrew Ryder. As soon as it does so he jumps up as if fixing to attack the person, coming out of the nightmare he was in. He begins to have a fit of coughs, as if catching his breath, which doesn’t seem to bring back any oxygen seeming to Andrew the dream was as real as it could get. Though now he begins to come out of the dream, realizing that it was his wife Elizabeth who touched his shoulder, he begins to calm down a little even though the panic is still there. Andrew Ryder begins to push himself up off of the couch, and heads towards the parking lot of the arena, he heads out of the arena to get some fresh air. The camera follows him in his retreat towards the end of the hallway.**

Andrew Ryder: Victor, wow that is strange you are in my thoughts all the time, but never as real as it was just now. Victor, my very own uncle, the very person my dad trusted to look after the kids, while he was away with the Military. Yet that is the farthest from what you did, yeah you called yourself looking after us, while beating us, and making us into your own beating dummies.

**Andrew Ryder turns up his nose, as all of a sudden a huge heavy oozing scent of alcohol consumption came across his nose. Andrew begins to hear a voice, as if it is right there in front of him, or from somewhere around him, but there is no one there.**

Voice: You think you are speaking inside your own mind? I hear your thoughts Andy and you know you are just escalating in your insane thoughts. Soon you will be a complete basket case in a rubber room if you keep lying to yourself about the past. Look at yourself Andy, even your sense of smell is affected you know.

**Andrew Ryder looks around him at the mention of the name Andy, as only Victor himself ever called him Andy, or Elizabeth a few times but knowing that this voice wasn’t Elizabeth’s. Andrew Ryder shakes his head, as if thinking he has surely gone crazy now, as he has been stating that he is psycho, he now believes it. The mention of the smell of alcohol brings the comparison of Victor to that of Padraig.**

Andrew Ryder: Hmmm Padraig, my opponent for tonight, has a little thing in common with my mental captor Victor. They both drink heavily, or wait let me rephrase that, Padraig had a drinking issue before hand, but the difference between the two, is the fact that unlike Victor. Padraig received the help to get free of the booze, now he can come to the match sober and without the clouded mind of someone that is drunk out of their ass.

**As Andrew Ryder’s back is towards the door, the door opens up, and Elizabeth is seen coming out of the doorway. She walks up behind Andrew, and begins to talk to him, being genuinely concerned about him, from the way he was before leaving the room.**

Elizabeth Ryder: Are you alright baby, you seemed so caught up in there, and like you were trying to get your breath, is everything alright?

**Elizabeth Storm begins to caress the top part of Andrew’s neck with her fingertips as if starting to seduce her husband. Andrew Ryder jumps back away from her, turning towards her, as he then begins to relax a little realizing that it is her, like he never heard the words that she said, before she touched him. She realizes then that it was another dream episode that brought on his reaction and the false health situation of her husbands.**

Andrew Ryder: ….

**Andrew Ryder doesn’t say a word to her, but walks away from her, heading away from her a little ways, as if to get himself in the mental state of the match at hand. With that she realizes that it has begun once again, with Victor, and she wants to hold and caress Andrew, while he goes through this mental War, but she knows it is better to leave it and him alone.**

Andrew Ryder: Padraig O’Sullivan, I have faced off against this guy a few times, on multiple occasions with different outcomes. But I can honestly say that I have seen some improvement in this guy, since he quit the drinking. Padraig is beginning to show some renewed tactics in the ring since he stopped drinking.

**Andrew Ryder knows he must focus not on his dream or his wife but Padraig O’Sullivan right now for the current moment, until after he faces Padraig.**

Voice: You stupid idiot, it is me you must contend with! You can’t get rid of me. You can run, and you can try to hide, but I will be there, right there with you. You think you can ever overcome this opponent when I still control your mind?

**Andrew Ryder recognizes the sign of defeat in the haunting voice but is determined this time to push the voice out of his mind so he can concentrate on Padraig. Andrew decides the war with his own self over the Victor issue cannot be won before the match he must go into that ring as a man free from the handcuffs and beat the Victor out of Padraig.**

Andrew Ryder: Padriag, with all of this you may think that you have the control, but Andrew Ryder knows in his freedom, from certain issues. That I will be victorious ha lets take the word Victorious here for a minute, what is the first 6 letters… Victor. That is really very ironic wouldn’t you say, that the one issue that I can’t get rid of is part of the one thing that I am always after.

Voice: Andy, you won’t beat Padraig tonight, because I will be controlling your mind.

**As if sensing the desperation in the voice’s voice, Andrew Ryder smiles slightly before beginning to walk a little ways before stopping. Andrew turns quickly and stars straight into the camera before speaking once again.**

Andrew Ryder: Padraig let me warn you here tonight before we face off. No matter what I do to you, I am not the one responsible for my actions. I have no control over what I will do in the ring tonight, you might become a bloodied mess once it is all said and done. You just might have to be carried out of the ring after it is all said and done, but the one thing that I can promise you, is that you are going to be lying on the mat looking up at the ceiling seeing Andrew Ryder’s hands raised in victory.

Voice: No one takes you seriously Andrew, they think I am a figment of your imagination, but I am really sticking with you this time to prove to you that you won’t ever be anything but crazy just like they say. These people that do not take you seriously are the same ones the has defeated you, just like Drake DeMarco.

**Andrew Ryder snickers in the direction he feels the voice is coming from, knowing that Padraig has just become Victor, in his mind. In this match the two will become one the difference being that physically Andrew is free even if his mind speaks the haunting words of Victor.**

Andrew Ryder: What exactly do you know about this business, are you the one out here every single night busting your ass against these other opponents. You don’t know who takes me seriously are who doesn’t. Yet it really doesn’t matter what you think, because as you just said you are a figment, that is all. A voice, a voice trying to distract me from my goal, my goal of defeating Padraig here tonight. One thing though, you aren’t going to do that, I am going out there ready to defeat Padraig, even though I am not responsible for my actions.

**Andrew Ryder walks a little more until he comes across the dark corner of the parking lot, where a lot of beer cans are. Some empty but some full, he wonders to himself if Padraig has fallen off the wagon, or if this just happens to be a stash for one of the other wrestlers. It doesn’t matter though he grabs one of the full beer cans up, and holds it in his hand. He examines it for a minute, before turning it sideways in his hand. He pulls it straight towards his head hitting it against his forehead, crushing the can, causing the beer to spill out of it, along with slightly opening himself up in the corner of his head. Andrew Ryder begins to get an evil smile spreading across his face, as he enjoys the feeling that is going through him at this moment.**

**The scene begins outside of an old abandoned church where no one seems to have been in decades. Parts of the boards are falling apart on the church. There are no lights inside the church or even on the outside of it. As the camera begins to get closer a noise can be heard inside of the church. The camera begins to move forward towards the little doorway, where a door is missing from. A man can be seen sitting off in the corner of the room, or at least a shadow of the man. The man begins to speak continued to be hid by the shadows.**

Shadowy Figure: Tonight marks the dawn of a new age; yesterday marked the 10-year anniversary of the worst day of a lot of people’s lives. A lot of people lost their lives on the fateful day of 9-11-01 when out of the blue two planes drasticly struck the World Trade Center towers. The crashing of the planes then caught the building on fire, causing in turn the building to collapse totally, even falling on some unfortunate victims below.

**The shadow figure can be seen sitting in the same place rocking back and forth, over and over again. The figure is looking straight ahead, as if staring a hole through the center of the camera.**

Shadowy Figure: Every day there becomes a new hero but that day there were millions of heroes trying to save the victims inside and outside of the towers. In turn some people might ask just what is a hero? Well let me answer that one for you guys?

A hero thinks of others before they think of themselves,

A hero will die to protect.

A hero can be of any age, any color,

A hero can be man, woman or child.

A hero is courageous, loving and brave,

A hero will never complain.

A hero can be made in one act of compassion,

Or years of tender loving care.

Some hero’s are remembered,

Whilst many are left forgotten.

Hero’s are angels in disguise,

Saving precious innocent lives.

Every one of the firefighters, soldiers and police officers,

Are my heroes.

**The shadowy figure gets up off the ground, and leans against the wall face first, propping his head against the wall for a minute. While in the position he continues to speak.**

Shadowy Figure: In wrestling there are a lot of people that can be considered heroes, and then there are the ones that is totally not a hero. Well I don’t know which category I would be called in, yet I really don’t have a care, which category I am in. I do my job to entertain the fans, whether they appreciate it or not, that is another story. I have gotten the point as of late, that when I come out to the ring, there are half of the people cheering for me, while the other half boo’s me. So I think I would be a hero to those that cheer me, yet the quite opposite for the ones that boo me, I would like to send out a few thank you’s to those that stand behind me. For those of you that stand behind me, you will know that tonight your hero… Andrew Ryder. Will be facing off in what could be called a huge match up, the Main Event even. The King of the Ring Qualifying Battle Royal Match, where it will be Andrew Ryder vs. 13 other men, in one ring, all fighting to be the winner, all fighting for one single prize, to be qualified for the King of the Ring tournament.

**The shadowy figure, which is now known to be Andrew Ryder himself, begins to move back away from the wall slowly. Andrew, crouches low to the ground, as he begins to slowly move forward as if snaking himself towards the camera.**

Andrew Ryder: My upcoming opponents, Hawk Carmichael Jr., Patrick Carmichael, Mack Carmichael, Dirty Dogg, Zak Wake, Aiden Gage, Super Mario, Liu Gee Maeo, Akuma, War, Obliteration, David Shane and Jason Patricks himself. We all are fighting for one prize, as I have already stated. That prize guys is going to be mine, a lot of you are pretty knew here so you all do not know what to expect from a King of the Ring qualifying match, like the battle royal. You all have a huge awaking coming, but there are those that does know about this style of match, the first of those being one of the characters that has been around the longest, David Shane.

**Andrew Ryder stops in his place, still outside of the lighted area, as if he doesn’t want to come into the light, for a reason that only he himself knows.**

Andrew Ryder: David Shane, let me see here, you and I have had a past haven’t we? We have faced off a few times, just like me with your good buddy War. I have faced off against the both of you on multiple occasions, you seemed to have gotten the better of me on those occasions, don’t get me wrong though David you are a tough competitor, but that was before I had to face off against one of the toughest guys in the business, Drake DeMarco, the man stated he was going to knock me out of the business, and take me out, well Drake, you have failed on that task once again, I am here now to face off against these 13 other guys. Firstly David. David you should know that things have changed, after facing off against Drake, and losing to Drake, everything has changed, there have been some screw jobs involved in this company, but don’t get me wrong, you will not hear it come out of my mouth any longer. I will be looking to speak with my actions not my words. Don’t get me wrong I will still talk the trash, but hey, I will be backing up my words.

**Andrew Ryder steps away from where he is backing again into the corner, the shadowy figure bends down. Now completely out of the view of the camera as something is blocking its view.**

Andrew Ryder: I hope none of you guys are overlooking me in this match, and thinking that you are going to be getting an easy victory. Just like the rest of the guys that over looked me, you will be in for a real awakening, because I will inform you right now, I will be the one cashing in the victory tonight. Drake, David, War, and any one else that I have faced before, you guys know that you can’t keep me down right, no matter what you do to me, I continue to come back, each week, ready to fight. Fight I do, I come out ready to fight, and inflict damage on my opponents, I come out to win the match, but just like last week against Drake, that doesn’t always happen, but tonight I will be winning the match.

**Andrew Ryder moves comes straight up from the ground, holding something steadily in his hands. Whatever it is in his hands, even in the shadowy area is shining through the little light that is shown that direction.**

Andrew Ryder: The next guy is one of Steven Xavior’s “followers” or butt buddies, what the hell ever you want to call the dude, Aiden Gage. Aiden Gage, and Zak Wake, are used to teaming up in tag competition not fighting off in singles action, in order to gain something, such as a shot in the King of the Ring. Aiden let me tell you one thing, well make it two. How do you plan on beating this match, how do you plan on staying in the ring with 13 other men and coming out victorious? Aiden, you think people should be scared of you right? Just because you are some sort of guy that wants to take things out on your opponents, well let me tell you something serious, I am not one of those opponents that fear’s you. First off FEAR is only a four-letter word in my book, and I do know the exact meaning, but the meaning is irrelevant, because no matter what the meaning is, Fear isn’t in me. I fear nothing, being a police officer on the side, you can’t fear anything, otherwise you aren’t successful at your career, considering you stand a chance of having a gun take you out at any moment, or a knife, whichever the case maybe. Here in the wrestling world, what do I have to fear, some guy looking to beat me up, wow man, I am so freaking scared, ummm nah that sure isn’t the case.

**Andrew Ryder reaches over to the side where a podium is standing, as it has never been taken out of the church. He has a glass full of water sitting on the podium.**

Andrew Ryder: Do you realize we have a complete devil in attendance in tonight’s match. After all the name Akuma, in Japanese means devil or either demon, either way the result is the same, and complete devil. You know if you were to ask me the different between you and I Akuma, it would be this, me being a cop, on the outside and the inside, it makes me the good guy because I am the good police officer, not one of the bad ones. Whereas you Akuma, You spontaneous nature, where one minute you will be the good guy doing good things and then the next you will be doing things, that wouldn’t go with your original character, as if there was a complete transformation in you. It really makes you the bad guy in the end and good always outlasts evil. So even if we have a long match that seems equal it will not be in the end, good will overcome evil, Andrew Ryder will overcome Akuma. I will have to say that you have shown some of these other big mouth guys in the match a reality check, yet some of them have also shown you a reality check. Tonight though Akuma, it will be every man for himself, and Akuma, well man you know exactly how that goes don’t you, good luck.

**Andrew Ryder looks straight into the camera while taking a sip from the glass of water that he is holding in his hand. As he thinks about what he is about ready to say next.**

Andrew Ryder: The next person we have in the match is a pure simple-minded fellow that has nothing and never will have anything. The only thing you have, Dirty Dogg, is that girlfriend, fiancée or wife, what the hell ever she is. It really doesn’t matter what she is to you though, because Miss Puppies, isn’t involved in this Battle Royal, tonight Dirty, it is just the two of us, having a date, with 12 other men. Dirty Dogg, you are purely simple minded, therefore you are empty handed, just the same way you will be at the end of the match tonight, against me. How can a man with virtually no character begin to understand and respond to my moves?

**Andrew Ryder is holding the glass in his hand still, and his hand begins to squeeze inward towards the glass. The glass breaks into, as most of it falls to the ground. There are still a few pieces that is in the palm of his hand.**

Andrew Ryder: We now come to the other butt buddy of Steven Xavior, Zak Wake. Steven might have helped you out when you were in that asylum Zak but don’t think that he did it for the good of you, only reason he got you out of there was the fact he thought he could transform you into a monster, and I guess it worked. You are a true monster in the business; tonight you are going to be going up against another monster, not only a monster but also a “Monster Killer”. Tonight you are going to go down quick, you are going to lose. It really doesn’t matter how crazy you think you are, or even that you are. I will take you down just the same, as I will these other guys in the match, and in the business.

**Andrew Ryder drops the rest of the glass that he is holding in his hands, and shakes his hand. As Andrew shakes his hand he shakes off the glass pieces that is stuck on his hands, along with a few drops of blood that drips from his hands.**

Andrew Ryder: Next we have the three brothers in the match, Hawk, Patrick and Mack Carmichael… guys you and I used to be friends weren’t we. When I decided to change my attitude on everything, Mack, you and I got into it, and since then I really don’t know what we are, and I am sure the same goes for the three of you. Well let me tell you something guys, I really don’t care what the three of you think at all, it goes like this. Hawk I have nothing against you, or your brothers, yet it seems you have something against me, because when I decided to change everything about me, the way I viewed things on top of everything else you decided to change, and pull away from me. Don’t get me wrong though guys, I enjoyed every minute of getting Mack all hot and bothered, as if I was about to fight him, and then walking away from him.

**Andrew Ryder begins to walk forward stepping directly into the light that is shining in, as he does so he reaches up with his bleeding hand. He wipes his hand across his chest, for a moment, leaving a trail of blood across his chest. Before winking into the camera, and looking straight into it.**

Andrew Ryder: Guys look at it this way, what would you do if you were in my shoes, yet it doesn’t matter to me at all. How do you plan on gaining an advantage in the match tonight, do you plan on ganging up on the rest of us, I really hope you do not decide to gang up, because that would really ruin the way of the match. Look at it this way, it is every man for himself, so with you guys teaming it would ruin the match, for everyone, yet it would be the perfect strategy for one of the three of you to get the advantage, yet I know for a fact that you guys aren’t going to become victorious tonight, in the match. How do you think that a group of inbreeds is going to become victorious in a match with a bunch of other guys in the match.

**Andrew Ryder walks straight out of the church with the camera following behind him, he never looks back at the camera but stops in his tracks after a moment.**

Andrew Ryder: Now we have a man that I have had a few matches against as of late, a seemingly new guy here to the business. Jason this is your first King of the Ring qualifying match, so that really already puts you at a disadvantage, because you do not know what to do, you don’t know how to handle many other guys in the ring at one time, trying to throw your opponents out of the ring, and to knock everyone else away from the group. Jason Patricks, you are going to lose this match because you don’t have the experience that some of the rest of us have, also you are going to lose because of how you are. You are nothing more then a looser Jason, what have you accomplished in your career so far. Really nothing at all, you have had chances to pick up huge victories but nothing that you have been able to surpass, that is not going to change tonight either, tonight the results are going to be the same, you are going to go down in the record books as loosing to Andrew Ryder himself.

**Andrew Ryder looks around him at all the scenery surround the old abandoned church, and shakes his head, as the church is pretty much back away from the road. Surrounded by a little bit of wooded area.**

Andrew Ryder: We have a man that is one half of the tag team champions, the very man that calls himself after a cartoon character Super Mario. Super Mario, you are centered as a tag team competitor; so tonight you are by yourself in the ring. Don’t get me wrong your tag team partner, is also in the match, yet this isn’t tag team action, what are the two of you going to do if it was too come down to the two of you, you can’t honestly tell me that either one of you would be willing to let the other have the win. Especially when neither of you can fully communicate with the other, without that little female translator of you all’s. I really don’t think she tells you the truth of what Liu Gee says sometimes in the first place, but hey what do I know about the language. Yet in all reality Super Mario, no one, and I mean no one compares to “The Killer” Andrew Ryder in determination. The determination is why I will win tonight, because I want this win, much more then the rest of you involved, not just to get a win, but to prove myself worthy of being involved in the King of the Ring.

**Andrew Ryder begins to walk away from the church shaking his head as he does so. Andrew begins to walk down the road, heading in the direction of the arena.**

Andrew Ryder: Next we have a man by the name of Obliteration, what in the world kind of name is that anyway? I really don’t know, but the thing I do know is that you are mean spirited. Obliteration, you are mad at the whole world because of your childhood. It is about time for you to grow up and be a man, and make good in this world. You have not been a victim to everybody yet he dislikes everybody. Obliteration you damn sure need an Andrew Ryder ass whooping. You are looking for revenge for what previously happened to you in your life, right? Well let me tell you something Obliteration that revenge isn’t going to come at the hands of Andrew Ryder himself. You aren’t going to be beating me or anyone else in the match, or especially me. Also Obliteration, from what I have seen of you so far you act as if you really don’t want to be here, or as if you are being forced to wrestle here in the PWSI, well let me tell you something. If you feel like you don’t want to be here, you can get the F out. We sure as hell don’t want anyone that doesn’t want to be here, if you are just here because it is the path that was laid out for you, as you have said. You also think that you are some big bad superstar that stands in the way of everyone else getting what they want. You think you are going to take me out for good don’t you? Like I am just some stepping stone in the way, even Drake DeMarco himself couldn’t keep me down, so how in the blue hell do you think that you are going to do it?

**As Andrew Ryder had left his car in the arena parking lot and took a run, down the road, he now has to walk towards the arena again. After a moment he picks up his pace and instead of walking he is running.**

Andrew Ryder: We are at the other cartoon named character of Liu Gee, the man can’t even speak English, and he is going for a chance at being involved in the King of the Ring. That really doesn’t go together if you ask me, have you ever seen a king that couldn’t speak the language of the city he was King of? Umm I haven’t. Even though the PWSI, isn’t a city in general, it still holds the same principles, the tournament is for some of the best wrestlers in the industry, how do you fare up against the rest of the guys Liu Gee? You and Mario have dominated the tag team division I will hand you that, but how do you guys plan on defeating the rest of us? Are you hoping to work together for most of the match then break apart when it really counts? Well what if one or both of you gets knocked out of the match directly right away, if either of you 2 do get knocked out first, I would have to bet it would be Mario.

**Andrew Ryder comes running into the parking lot of the arena, to where his car is parked in the back where all of the superstars park. Andrew Ryder then gets up to the door leading into the arena and opens it heading inside.**

Andrew Ryder: Now we come to another man that I have had a good past with, War you and I have faced off against each other several times already. I am glad to see that you are back though, hopefully you aren’t the psycho version of yourself that you were before you left. As I stated when you left there can only be one psycho in the yard, and that one is I. War, it is just that, when you were in your rehab, you were doing everything in your powers in order to get out of that place. Even your very own friend, came to your assistance and got you out of there. I hope that you truly understand just what David Shane did for you, and tonight you both are in this match. So really what does that mean for the two of you? Does that mean that you two are going to fight off against each other, like you have many times before, or does it mean that you are going to partner up trying to take everyone else out? Secondly War, if no one has heard from you since, how do we honestly know that you are going to show up for this match, I know you though War. I know how you are, you thrive for this business, and so you will show up. Lately you haven’t been able to do anything on your own without using some kind of weapon against whom ever you are around, so how do you think you are going to win tonight War? Obviously you are going to lose the match if you even bother to show, because how will you fare in the ring with 13 other guys, after just getting out of rehab, along with other things that you have had to deal with while you were gone. Every one of the other guys in this match has been the battles leading up to a War, and tonight War, I will be the victor in the War.

**Andrew Ryder walks down the hallway with a shirt in his hand as he looks as if he is about ready to put the shirt on but instead thinks better of it. The blood that he had wiped on his chest before can still be seen on his chest; it is now a little smeared from the sweat, from him running. Andrew Ryder looks down at his hand that he had cut with the broken glass, the camera zooms into the hand. It has started to heal over a slight bit, as it is now stopped bleeding, he continues to look at his hand for a moment. He then looks straight into the camera with an evil smile on his face, before throwing his head back in the air, and letting out a huge howl sounding laugh.** 

**The scene begins on a dark moonless night, in a graveyard with the camera moving around showing off multiple gravestones in the way. As the camera continues to move on, it finally stops in a darker corner of the cemetery. Someone’s shadow can be seen knelt down looking at a grave, after noticing the camera. The person jerks his head straight towards the camera with an angry expression on his face; the person then comes snaking out of the corner towards the camera revealing that it is Andrew Ryder. The camera jerks down to the gravestone a moment revealing the name Ryder in huge letters written on it. As the camera looks a little lower, it says “Julia Ryder Beloved mother, wife and friend”, as Julia is the mother of Andrew Ryder.**

Andrew Ryder: Tonight will mark another screw job against Andrew Ryder, tonight I am facing off once again, against someone that I have faced several times already, every single time I have lost the match. One of those times it was definitely a screw job, I should have won that match, it doesn’t matter though because tonight is a new day. Tonight I will be going up against this same person once again, in a new federation. Drake DeMarco, Drake, why is it you decided to come to PWSI in the first place? What was your reasoning behind it? Why after all this time did you decide to show your face in PWSI, what is it you decided that you wanted to renew our feud so you come to PWSI, knowing that I am here?

**Andrew Ryder snakes even closer to the camera, with a different expression on his face at this point.**

Andrew Ryder: Drake, Drake, Drake, I heard everything that you had to say in your little speech; well you want to bring up my family huh? Well let me tell you something, the last person that involved my family lived to regret that decision, that person being Alpha Dog himself. He stood outside of my home watching my wife and kids every move. I beat him in our match up in order to gain the championship, now tonight our match is not a championship match. Yet you are bringing my family into the picture, even calling me a failure to my family.

**Andrew Ryder’s expression turns to a look of a mixture of anger and a smile.**

Andrew Ryder: Drake, at least I am not the one that has a freak of nature, after me for some reason. I think I know the real reason behind all of this thing with Chaz, I think it is only a fake, and that you two are lovers in the sense. It’s like you two were hanging out together every single moment at one point, and talking about everyone. Then everything fell apart, just like a married couple after having a huge fight. You two need to just go and have a divorce and call it quits guys, because you are totally over. The two of you have no more chance of reconciliation. You two are going to be fighting off against each other very soon, yet before that you are going to be fighting off against me.

**Andrew Ryder walks back away from the camera looking away from the camera, and kneels down again to his mother’s grave.**

Andrew Ryder: Every single time that you and I have faced off Drake, you have pushed me to the limits, so I will say that you are a tough competitor. I will not say that you are better then me though, you have gotten the better of me on two occasions and on the other, it was a true screw job, but with that being said, tonight will be very, very different. Tonight you are not going to be getting the best of me, tonight you are going to see how a man really is when someone begins talking trash about their family. You can say what you want about me, but Drake, or anyone else, leave my f***ing family out of it. You also talked about me being a cop, and how no one takes me seriously, everyone that I have came across takes me seriously Drake, so open your freaking eyes dude.

**Andrew Ryder reaches out and touches the headstone in front of his mother’s grave. He rubs the part with her name, birth date, and death date on it, before turning his head slowly towards the camera.**

Andrew Ryder: Drake you want to talk about me being a cop, well lets do it, everyone that I have arrested there has been the ones that have fought me back, and the ones that went willingly, yet just about everyone of them has thanked me later for it. So you can say I am not respected until you are blue in the freaking face, but others know the truth Drake, yours are just pure lies. Drake, everything that has happened in my life, including the death of my mother, up to not knowing who my biological father was, to having my stepfather be in the military and me having to take care of my siblings, no matter what went on. Life doesn’t get in the way of what I want or in the way of doing what needs to be done, JUSTLY that is, unlike you Drake. All of this trash talk shit, coming from a man that has never had a real relationship, other than a bunch of little ones where he used the woman with every step. The only time you have had a good relationship is Trisha Lee Moore’s sister, no one the woman hates you. With that I mean Trisha, and her sister. They both hate you with a passion if I remember right, I know Trisha does. Just about everyone hates your, no one likes you, what makes you think that you are going to come into this match tonight, and beat me, causing me to open up my eyes? You can run your mouth very good, you have proved that, and you have proved before that you can back up a lot of what you say. You haven’t been in the ring with me in a long time though Drake, so you don’t know what I have been able to do to my opponents since the last time that we faced off against each other. You have been bouncing around between the other feds, where I have dominated every fed I have been in so far, becoming champion in every fed, except for PWSI yet. Yet being the key word, I haven’t received my shot at the title yet, and do you think that you are going to come straight into the company and become the very best?

**Andrew Ryder puts one foot behind the other a little bit, and puts his knee against the ground itself. As he is now kneeling on one knee, he reaches beside him and pulls up a group of all different color roses. With a single Gardenia, the roses he lays on the ground in front of the headstone, but the Gardenia, he hooks to the headstone itself.**

Andrew Ryder: After our match tonight everyone will be saying Drake Who? Instead of saying anything about Drake DeMarco. You stated one thing that is correct though Drake, I am a family man.

 **As Andrew Ryder says the words Family Man, a song can be heard playing what sounds as if it is being played from a distance, the country song “Family Man” by Craig Campbell.”

Andrew Ryder: You Drake are far from a family man, you can’t even get along with your own sister, you even took your own sister out. What does that tell you Drake? You are a twisted son of a gun; you would even take out your very own sister, wow. Really, really, Drake you would do anything just to get a win wouldn’t you. I do mean anything, I know someone that nearly buried you alive in the match, literally even. Patrick Carmichael nearly defeated you in that match in PWSX, yet you run around like you are the best thing ever and like no one can defeat you. Well you best get to stepping, because Drake you are beatable, and that first step will start tonight, when you do get defeated by none other than the person that you have defeated three times, due to a screw job or two, Andrew Ryder himself. The very same person that you are trash talking, like you are sooooooo much better then him. Drake you should be worried about the match, not running your mouth like some idiot, you need to worry yourself because of the powers of Andrew Ryder. I am mightier and more magical then you realize Drake. Mine is the soul of a survivor Drake, you are hollow and without true merit.

**Andrew Ryder reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out something. After the camera zooms in a little bit the item can be seen as a pocket knife.**

Andrew Ryder: Drake, there are different ways to be a family man, but the true family man is the one that will go out in the world and provide for his family. The same man that will do anything to protect his family, the same man that will do anything for that said family. I am that family man, so you talked your little trash, using my family in the process, well that was a very huge mistake on your part. Not only do you have an Andrew Ryder on your hands, but a very pissed off Andrew Ryder, the Andrew Ryder that is willing to bend the rules, if it means protecting his family.

**Andrew Ryder moves the knife closer to his arm, and moves it slowly, after a moment a trickle of blood drips down off of his arm to the ground below.**

Andrew Ryder: Drake, do you realize the same “Buddy” that you have been having the problems with and you won the storyline of the year award for 2011. Hmm that proves my earlier point right there, you two just need to come out with the truth, that you guys are nothing but two gay lovers that want each other, but have been having a argument. It explains why you haven’t really had a true relationship, other than Trisha’s sister. Is it that after Trisha got involved in you and her sister’s relationship that you were so devastated that you turned to guys. That would truly explain why all the mind damage that you do to the ladies that you seem to like, and that you go out with, no wonder Amber Lynn Hurricane really hasn’t been seen since the two of you went out.

**Andrew Ryder looks down at the ground and begins to get fixated on the site of the blood dripping onto the mound of ground over his mothers grave.**

Andrew Ryder: Second off Drake, what woman in their right mind would really want you in the first place. Especially after all of the ladies that you supposed to have went out with. If you ask my thoughts on that, I think that is just a cover up for the real you, the real you that wants to be with Chaz Holiday. Everyone sees it here lately, everyone is beginning to see the truth about you Drake, so why don’t the both of you just admit it to yourselves and each other.

**Andrew Ryder pushes himself with his bleeding arm off the ground. He blows a kiss down towards his mother’s grave, and begins to walk away from the grave. Andrew Ryder looks down at the pocketknife in his hand, and wipes the trickles of blood that is on the knife, off onto the shirt and closes the knife. Andrew puts the knife in his pocket, at the same time spotting his family coming his direction; he pulls the shirtsleeve down covering his arm. Andrew Ryder hugs his wife Elizabeth, and smiles down at the kids, they all begin to walk away from the camera, as the camera remains in the same spot.** 

**The scene begins with the camera following someone around in the backstage area, the man that the camera has been following turns the corner. The camera does also, the man quickly stops in his tracks and spins around towards the camera, the man can be seen as none other than Andrew Ryder himself, as he is arriving at the arena where he will be involved in a Collateral Damage Championship match up against 5 other guys. Andrew Ryder is dressed in a dark black shirt with Andrew Ryder written on the front of it. Along with the words “The Age Of Ryder” on the back with picture of Andrew himself. Andrew also has a pair of black jeans on.**

Andrew Ryder: In the past two weeks I have not been on the card once, why is that you ask? It is because of all the Jack’s that is overlooking Andrew Ryder. Then as soon as they decide to use me again, once they see that they are loosing they put me into a Collateral Damage Match for the title. That is great news for Andrew Ryder, and the true Andrew Ryder fans. I have something to say, for all of you fans that have stood by me with my change of attitude and everything else I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now for those of you that turned away from me, that’s all well and good, you have your right to choose just who you want to back, but whomever you decide to go with after, what makes you think that those same fans won’t do the same to you.

**Andrew Ryder shakes his head as he looks away from the camera, he then looks straight back into the camera with a look of vengeance on his face.**

Andrew Ryder: Every one of my opponents in this Collateral Damage Title Match get ready to begin “The Age Of Ryder” because after tonight we will be having a new champion. It is only fitting that with everything that has happened with the same fans that has been behind me for years a lot of those same fans dropping me. It is only fitting with that, that the fans get to bring the weapons in this Battle Royal match, where I’ll be taking on the likes of Brett Mosley, Dirty Dogg, Jason Patricks, Jay Payne and Padraig O’Sullivan.

**Andrew Ryder leans against the wall with his back and begins to slide down the wall. As he gets to the ground he slides both legs up under him, as to where he is sitting Indian style on the ground against the wall and looks into the camera.**

Andrew Ryder: Let me start this thing off with a bang, Jason Patricks all of what you said about me everyone already knows, everyone knows that I am the illegitimate son of Jayson Ryder from FOW everyone already knew that, and every single little thing that you stated about me is in my bio from the company, so what good does it do for you Jason to stand there and talk trash about someone if what you say is already known by the whole world. Everyone knows I have a job as a police officer, have even taken everyone of the fans on a tour of the jail at that time where one of the wrestlers was in the jail their self. It really doesn’t matter what junk you say though, because Jason you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk.

**Andrew Ryder slides up onto the souls of his feet, before moving forward just a bit and crouches down towards the ground with his head down low towards the ground. He lifts his head looking into the camera.**

Andrew Ryder: Jason if you are going to talk trash about someone do it with a vengeance don’t state things that you know nothing about, other than pretty much reading someone’s biography. You know nothing about me; you know nothing about the hell I went through in my life. You know nothing about the hell I endured in Iraq, you know nothing about the hell I endured in desert storm, and you know nothing about anything I have ever gone through. You want to say the part about me being honorably discharged like I have lied about it or something; I have the proof to back up my statements. Not that I have to prove anything to you or anyone else Jason, but some of the Jack’s know the truth, Star Stormz herself knows the truth, when I received this job she looked at the proof, she knows I was honorably discharged. Everyone knows the reason that I was honorably discharged too Jason. You opened up a can of worms when you bring up something that has no bearing on the match at hand, you want to talk about my career here or there, or whatever, go right ahead. Will you be able to handle the beating that you are going to endure because of your mouth? Your mouth is cashing a check bigger then your checkbook can handle.

**Andrew Ryder stands as if at attention and raises his hand towards his head saluting the camera, and holds the position for a few moments before letting his hand drop to his side.**

Andrew Ryder: Patricks. You even want to bring out my full name in this do you; well how about we go to yours why not? Your first name is the same as my father wow, that is well and good and all, other then the spelling of yours, your spelling is just the normal plain old every day spelling of Jason, yet my fathers is the unique spelling, Jayson. Jayson looks much better, why? Because with the spelling Jason it looks old and overused, just like you yourself Jason. You come out here and act like you are some big name superstar and start to ramble on about your opponents like you really know them and like you are the best. Yet Jason you are not the best and never will be the best, look at it this way you are just some new kid in the business trying to fight against some of the best, including one that might as well be a teacher of the business.

**Andrew Ryder moves his head away from the camera looking across the hallway, where there is something silver in color shining out from behind some tables propped up against the wall.**

Andrew Ryder: Now enough of this Jackoff, Jason Patricks, now we have a dude that is just getting his job back Padraig O’Sullivan, Paddy my boy. You had been fired because of the fact that you were always coming to work drunk, so Star only had one choice to make to fire you, or put you on suspension… either way the outcome of it was the same, you were out of a job, and you were forced to go to rehab in order to get your job back. Now you are making your comeback to the company, in that comeback, you have a shot at the Collateral Damage Championship; you know that isn’t going to be an easy task don’t you my boy. Tonight after the match I hope you don’t go back to your normal ways and start drinking again, because of the fact that you lost the chance at becoming a Champion.

**Andrew Ryder begins to move over towards the shiny object, moving the tables over to the side, until the shiny object is the only thing there. He reaches down and grabs a hold of the object pulling it into the air, the object just so happens to be a steel pipe silvery in color.**

Andrew Ryder: You and I are the most suitable in this environment though Paddy my boy, because we have been in these types of matches before. So tonight you and I are the most suitable to be involved in one of these Collateral Damage Matches, the fans get to bring the weapons to the ring, so to speak. The fans choose our weapons, that is all well and good, don’t get me wrong though I don’t need those weapons in order to beat someone, my two hands and my two feet do a great job of that their selves, without those weapons. Yet do you think that I am going to turn down the chance to get away with using a weapon? I think not. I have a shot at the title, I am not going to let that slip by me, the Collateral Damage Championship is mine for the taking.

**Andrew Ryder swings the pipe around hitting one of the tables propped up against the wall. The table breaks off in two, as Andrew Ryder looks down at his hand as the pointy sharp part of the table after it broke scrapped across his hand. Even though he didn’t realize it at first but his hand was bleeding a little.**

Andrew Ryder: You see Padraig when I was in PWSR I was the Rated-R Champion; you have to be hardcore in order to hold that title. Just like the Collateral Damage Title in order to gain the championship you have to be hardcore. I have seen some of your matches Padraig and yes you are hardcore enough to get the title, if it wasn’t me that you were going up against. Tonight though you have me to get past, and Paddy boy, that just isn’t going to happen. Padraig I have a serious question here my boy, you and I might be a lot alike in our wrestling, but how did you manage to get this title shot so quickly after returning from your rehab session. Doesn’t Star think that she should let you earn your spot? In my book you sure haven’t earned anything, you have gotten back from rehab and then all of a sudden boom you have a shot, how in the blue hell does that work? What did you have to do kiss up to Star or Max, in order to get this shot?

**Andrew Ryder looks down at his hand that is steadily dripping blood onto the ground below him, before smiling a short but evil smile. It is a huge chance anyone could be busted open in the match, possibly even worse then Andrew himself here.**

Andrew Ryder: We have two seemingly biker style guys in this match, for a lot of bikers they are some big strong dudes, and some hardcore ones at that. That doesn’t really go for the two we have here, Brett Mosley & Dirty Dogg himself. Brett is supposed to be some sort of president or something like that towards the Hell Dogs Motorcycle Club. Hmmmm what the hell kind of club is that anyway? The Hell Dogs hmmm sounds like a name that Dirty Dogg would have chosen, don’t get me wrong though I respect most of the biker’s yet Brett isn’t one of the ones that I do respect. Brett has stated that he earns everything that he receives right?

**Andrew Ryder walks right across from where he was which just so happens to be directly in his locker room now. He then grabs a piece of gauze along with the tape.**

Andrew Ryder: Really, Really, Brett. That is kind of funny that you would say that, because how in the blue hell have you earned a shot at the title. How long have you been wrestling here, have you even been involved in a single match? So you earn everything you receive huh. Well how’d you earn this shot? I would like to know that, you are worse then Jason himself, at least Jason has been in a few matches, and worked his way quickly from dark matches to fighting in the big leagues, and for the title. Yet you Brett, you haven’t been fighting your way up, you haven’t even really been fighting your way anywhere.

**Instead of beginning to tape up his wrists at first he just holds the tape in his hands and takes the towel away from his hand. Andrew Ryder begins to stare at his hand as if getting tranced by the blood on his hand.**

Andrew Ryder: Just like our opponent Jason Patricks said, you have this gang of goons behind you Brett, how is it that a guy like you can get everyone to follow you just like that? With a snap of the finger, how is that? Hmmm it really doesn’t get to me you know, I don’t see how they get to follow you like that, or why they even would want to follow you. Why would someone want to follow someone else anyway? When I was in xWo over on PWSX I wasn’t following anyone, especially not the sorry ass Enforcer whom is now over on PWSR, and sure as hell not Tank, and who knows where he is right now, last I heard he was on PWSR also, but who knows anymore. I wasn’t following anyone. I have always been the one carrying the teams I was involved in, look at when I was with Robbie Vicious, it was me carrying his ass not the other way around, so how is it Brett, that you have all the goons looking at your every move and wanting to do everything you do.

**Andrew Ryder begins to tape his hand and wrists up, putting the gauze pad over the cut on his hand. He finishes taping up his hand, and switches to taping up the other one, to get ready for his upcoming match.**

Andrew Ryder: The rest of these guys, one is pretty new to the company where one he has been around for a while now, Dirty Dogg, along with his so called wife or whatever she is Miss Puppies. Dirty Dogg, this one I am very familiar with, how is it you also got a shot at the title Dogg? Did you have your wife brown nose up to Max, or better yet Star Stormz herself? Or did you do the brown nosing yourself? Or did they see something in you that no one else really sees in you Dirty Dogg? To me you are just some smelly sick freak that thinks he is some great superstar but really is nothing. I know you have stated before that I am pretty much a has been, and a shell of my former self.

**Andrew Ryder looks down at the floor below him after he finishes taping up his hand/wrist, and holds up the steel pipe that he found in the hallway. Andrew begins to look at the pipe, turning his head sort of sideways.**

Andrew Ryder: Now for the very last man in the match another Jason, even though this man spells his Jayson, so yeah he is somewhat better then the beginning Jason. Even though this one doesn’t like the name Jayson at all and goes by the name of Jay, Jay Payne. You have a very fitting last name for our match tonight, because after all after the match, and even during the match someone is going to be in some pain. Hmm lets see here Jay you might have been discovered by David Shane himself, or you might have been discovered by the devil himself. It really doesn’t matter who you were discovered by, or even where you were discovered, because this isn’t a bar room. The fighting style might be the same as there, because you get to use the weapons around you and you get to use the area around you as your weapon. Yet this isn’t a bar, and none of the guys you are facing off against tonight is drunk, oh wait I will take that back, one of the guys might just be if he has fallen off the handle.

**Andrew Ryder looks around the room for a few moments, before standing up off the chair after finishing looking at the pipe. He slides the pipe down into the hook on the side of his pants, with an evil sort of smile on his face. He walks out of the locker room, walking down the hallway with a purpose as if he has only one thing on his mind. The scene ends as he rounds the corner away from his locker room.**

**The scene begins inside of a place called Kiddy Land where kids can be seen running around everywhere with their parents right with them. After a few moments the camera gets up to the people it was looking for. Andrew Ryder can be seen with one of his children on his shoulders, the baby strapped into a carrier on his chest, and the other two walking right beside him holding to his hands. Andrew Ryder seems to be having a good time with his children, before having to enjoy the beating that he is going to inflict on Damon at the Tokyo Dome.**

Andrew Ryder: Damon, you and I face off tomorrow night in a huge match up for you, you lost your precious title in your first title defense. So I know you are looking to turn your luck around, but after coming straight off that loss, you are put into a match with Andrew Ryder. How is that going to fit into your game plan Damon? Do you really know what you are getting? It boils down to these few words, try if you might, but you are going to be knocked down Damon.

**Andrew Ryder stops the kids from walking as a man rushes past them quickly almost bumping into Andrew’s oldest child. Andrew Ryder begins to get an angry expression on his face.**

Andrew Ryder: People damn, do they even watch where they are going damn, no one can walk in this place without worrying about if their child is going to get ran over by someone running around. Damon, do you realize that you are stepping into the ring with A Killer. That name isn’t something to be taken lightly, on top of that, I am not just A Killer, but I am The Killer. When we step between those ropes everything else will cease to exist other than the two of us in the ring, fighting.

**Andrew Ryder’s angry expression remains on his face for a few moments, before he begins to walk once again, as the expression continues.**

Andrew Ryder: We are close to your hometown aren’t we Damon? When you joined up with SCW what were your plans in all of this, did you think that you would come up to the regular brand as quick as you did? I am sure you didn’t; yet you came up to the brand, and for a while there you were on top of the world, and then you got a huge sit back when you lost that title. You are now trying to get back into the game; you are trying to use me as that pedestal that will get you back onto your feet. That isn’t going to work for you Damon; I am not someone that is going to be walked over, just to make a name for themselves.

**Andrew Ryder stops walking for a second letting go of the hand holding onto his little girl Kayla’s hand before adjusting Lucas position on top of his shoulders. He then reaches back down holding onto his little girls hand again.**

Andrew Ryder: I am not just some monster that goes around fighting everything just for the heck of it. I am a family man firstly, and a wrestler secondly. No one can cut that part of their existence out, when they are in the business that I am, it is no way to cut out your family in order to live solely by your wrestling. So I might be a family man first, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t put all of that to the back burner, when I step between those ropes to take on my opponent.

**Andrew Ryder walks towards the doorway heading out of the Kiddy Land, holding tightly to his kids hands, making sure they didn’t get away from him the slightest bit.**

Andrew Ryder: I have been asked many times down do I juggle the family life with the wrestling life, this right here says it all. You spend as much time with the children and the wife, as you can when you can. As far as my kids they are able to be on the road with me during the summer, and sometimes during the school year, not as much as we would like, but they do have that chance. The summer they are always here, so it is hard when we get to the school year, but we make it work.

**Andrew Ryder holds on to the kids, as they walk through the outside area, leading towards Andrew’s rent a car, that he drove to the Kiddy Land, with the kids.**

Andrew Ryder: Tomorrow isn’t about the kids though, or even a family, it is about you and I Damon. You and I facing off in a grueling match, with two guys facing off, tonight will pretty much be like David taking on Goliath, me standing in at 6’8 and you at 5’10, that puts you on the short end of the draw doesn’t it Damon. Yet I know better then anyone that the bigger you are the harder you fall, because I have had a fallen myself as of late, just like you. Yet I am looking to turn all of that around, starting with you tonight Damon. Look at it this way, you are a former champion, so beating you would push me to new levels.

**Andrew Ryder opens the back door of the car, as the two children walking climbs into the car themselves, the oldest getting the front seat. Andrew unstraps the baby from the carrier against his chest, and lays him into the carseat strapping him into it. Then lifting his older child off of his shoulders putting him into his carseat.**
