Toney: What's up, Doc? Heh, I never get tired of that. (Doc waves a tape at him) Hmmm, is this a new guy?

(Doc goes to the VCR and pushes the tape in)

Doc:Just take a look at this.
The tv screen is filled with static and then scenes from a wrestling match appear on the screen:

Its a backwoods wrestling operation. Sawdust floor, Cardboard crates for seats, cheap ropes and a very weathered ring mat. Their is a huge crowd watching though as two dark skinned men go at it. One man has an obvious advantage. His opponent is on the mat as he climbs the turnbuckle and taunts the crowd. His oppenent gets to his feet and knocks him off the turnbuckle with a low blow. The crowd boos incessantly. The man taunts the crowd. As he does, the other man sits up. His eyes have rolled to the back of his head and he is chanting. He grabs the man and chops him in his throat. the man can't breathe. As he chants, the wrestler sets him up for a DDT and plants him into the ring mat!

Toney: That was amazing! That's Baron Lundi right? I knew we made a great decision signing him.

Powell: Just keep watching....

A reporter appears on the screen with a picture of Lundi in the background:

That was the scene this past weekend at the weekly pro wrestling matches here in Haiti. As you will see from the pictures we are about to show you, that's not all that happened.(Still shots appear on the screen) That's right, while Wrestling is supposed to be sports entertainment, some of its 'actors' take it a little too far. The man laying down on the mat, unconscious is Papa Shango. The man who put him there...Baron Lundi. Lundi left Shango unconscious and with a broken neck. Lundi also left without a trace. Haitian police are currently searching for Mr. Lundi for questioning and a possible arrest...

Toney: Damn, He's a real bad ass isn't he?

Yeah, a little too bad for my blood...so how are you going to fill your empty roster slot?

Toney: What empty slot?

,b>Powell: Well, Lundi, obviously won't be making it to the states...

Toney:He's already here.

Powell: Yeah, in fact he's right behind you.

(Powell swings around and screams...but there is nothing there, just Mr. Toney's secretary.)

Toney: Thanks for not spilling that coffee, Miss Elliott. Could you please bring Mr. Powell here a towel for his pants however....just kiddin with ya Doc, but don't worry about Mr. Lundi. I'm sure the Baron will be here when the time is right.

As the scene fades out, a black crow lands on the window sill, staring into the meeting....
