Subject: Building Up

(We open up inside a gym. It could be anywhere in the country for all it's distinguishable features. People are all around, sweat pouring from their bodies, all seeking to better themselves (some needing it more than others). The camera moves all about the gym, until it goes downwards, and focuses on somebody's back. His shirt is soaked with sweat, but is emblazoned with the MCW logo. The man is slaving away on a rowing machine, and as the camera moves closer, we are able to see a date printed on the back of the shirt, underneath the MCW logo - '10-31-02'.
At this point a narrative voice starts talking)

Voice: So time has almost run out. I said the point of no return had been breached, but there was always the option of no-showing before. This is ground zero...and you know something wierd? I like it!
I missed this buzz. I missed the anticipation. The excitement, the tension and the nerves - they're the kind of things that only get stimulated by matchday. And tonight is the big one. Tonight is my comeback. Tonight is when I end a whole lot of hopes, disappoint a whole bunch of people...then come back to the locker rooms more content, more self-actualised, and more dangerous than ever before!

(The man finally gets up from the machine, and runs his hand through his soaked, bleached blonde hair. He reaches down to the floor and picks up a red bandana, then fixes it across his forehead, tying a knot around the back...)

Voice: So will it hurt? Sure it will! That's what makes it fun for cryin' out loud. It's supposed to hurt. It's the way I like it. Do I enjoy the pain? Are you crazy? Anybody that tells you they like pain is either an idiot or a dumbass. But those that thrive on pain best are the ones that flourish, and believe me...if I'm in pain I'm gonna be making sure my opponent is suffering a far worse fate.
Which means in the Parking Lot Cage match I'm gonna put my body on the line for the first time in a long while. Once more I am willing to bleed, willing to wear the crimson mask. I am willing to go to whatever extremes I deem necessary...But when I'm cut, Deadcell will be busted open - When my body is wracked with pain Deadcell's will be ravaged. When I fly off the cage...Deadcell is gonna be thrown off!

(The anonymous man makes his way over to the benchpress, and prepares himself for another vigorous workout on this particular apparatus...)

Voice: And purely by coincidence that brings me nicely onto Deadcell himself. And I have to say, if people know me, which I doubt you do, you'd be surprised by the way I'm treating this match. Maybe in the past if somebody had come to me and said that they're a so-far winless cancer, then I have to be honest, I don't know how much credibility I'd give them.
But I realise, he's in the same position as me. He wants to make it. He wants to make it big in Midwest Championship Wrestling...and like me he needs to make a name for himself in order to do it. And hell, tonight on pay-per-view is the perfect opportunity. Halloween Horror, and the spotlight is on. People are gonna be pissed off, but the attention will be on our match. People want to know who the hell I am. Am I the huge star they've been desperately craving to return? Am I that forgotten face from the past that the fans are ravenous to see again?

Whatever the answer, people will want to know, meaning when Deadcell hits the ring, he will want to end my career before my attempt to get it back off the ground even begins. He wants to end me, take me out...destroy me. Imagine what that would mean for him. MCW is building my return to be something of an event...and he could extinguise the returning flame in an instant...and watch his career receive a welcome boost in the process.

(The tape is showing footage of the narrator getting more and more into his workout now, desperate to be at the top of his game for his return...)

Voice: But Deadcell, I can assure you, no matter how noble your intentions, or how valiant your assertations, they will all come to a fruitless, infertile conclusion. Simply put...'NOTHING DOING'
Like I said, the attention is there, the spotlight is on. Name recognition goes a long way at times, and I am not going to get a whole lot of it. Which means I need to have another weapon in my arsenal - impact. A scintillating debut will blow all my mental reservations away. The months away from the ring will seem like seconds, knocking down Deadcell will seem like sweeping aside a strand of hair from my forehead.

I want...I NEED MCW to notice me. I have not come back to this organisation just to make up the numbers. I will amount to something, and I will make a difference. Does Deadcell seriously expect to stand in the way of that? I know where I'm going after tonight's match about as well as you people know me - not a vast quantity of knowledge there right now.
But this a wild ride, and you people are coming along for it, whether I have to beat your ass, drag your ass or just kick you off...you wanna know who I am, then you'll find a way to see my match.

(On screen the footage of the man working out fades to black, as 'One Step Closer' plays again)

Voice: You will know my name...you will know me...tonight is just the beginning!

(The Halloween Horror logo fills the screen, then fades out to be replaced by the words: 'GROUND ZERO - 10-31-02'...)
