"I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You were only in my way

We now enter the arena where pyro explodes and the fans are on their feet. "Just Like You" continues to play. The camera pans around the arena as a sea of NLCW fans wave their signs and cheer for another episode of NLCW Avulsion.
"On my
own, cause I can't take livin' with you

AJ: Rick Majors!
BT: What is he doing here!?
Majors has a copy of his latest DVD set in his hand as we walks through the hallway.
BT: Is he plugging that damn DVD again!?
AJ: Hey, it's a good DVD!
BT: Whatever.
AJ: Well folks, it's time for our first match!
Three Six Mafia’s ‘Who run it’ plays throughout the arena and the lights strobe red, white and green around the entrance way as Carmine Styles is risen up from the bottom of the stage. Once he is fully on the stage Red, White and Green pyro shot up right in front of him as he walks out. Wearing his custom Blue Italian soccer shirt and the Italian flag hanging from the front of his pants. He looks out into the crowd, surveying the masses, before stepping out into the aisle way and throws his arms out (ala Orton). At which point pyro’s shoot off all the way down the ramp.
LW: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first, residing from Sacramento, California, weighing 145 pounds: "The Italian Lion" Carmine Styles!!!
Once he’s at ringside Carmine wastes no time getting into the ring. Where he climbs the turnbuckle standing on the middle rope at the far post and poses with his arms up just as he did at the top of the entranceway.
AJ: Carmine Styles, one of the great new talents coming into the NLCW recently.
BT: And he's going to face off against another one of those great new talents tonight!
The arena lights dim and the infamous piece “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life For Me)” is pumped through the speakers.
Captain Clay ‘Chainsaw’ Krueger swings onto the entranceway via a hanging rope. He outstretches his arms and slowly curtsies to the NLCW crowd. Krueger clutches the end of his cane and uses it as a walking stick as he saunters along the walkway. Upon reaching the ring, Clay hops up onto the apron and leaps over the top rope into the ring.
LW: And his opponent, from Tortuga, Saint-Domingue, weighing in at 210 pounds, Captain Clay ‘Chainsaw’ Krueger!!!
He makes for a far corner where he ascends the turnbuckle and raises his hands, and more notably his cane, to the lighting rigs. Krueger steps down from the turnbuckle to remove his ‘effects’, passing his tools to a helpful ring attendant for safekeeping at the timekeeper’s table.
AJ: And here we go!
The bell rings and the two men face off in the center of the ring. They lock up. Krueger suddenly knees Styles in the stomach. Styles doubles over and Krueger delivers a DDT!

AJ: WHAT A SPINEBUSTER!
BT: From out of NOWHERE!
BT: And just like that, he's back in the match!
Both men are on the mat now. Somehow Krueger manages to get to his feet first. He walks over towards Styles and pulls him back to his feet. Styles suddenly grabs him and he unleashes another vicious spinebuster!

COMMERCIAL BREAK
AJ: Folks just a few weeks ago we saw the Undisputed World champion Delfino with his agent Rikki Lee in video form from atop the roof of the arena, lets take you back now and show you what was said.
The screen takes us back to the footage of Rikki Lee standing next to Delfino with the words "2 WEEKS AGO" in the bottom right corner of the screen. Delfino remains motionless as Rikki smiles at the camera.
Rikki Lee: Now as far as who will challenge for the Undisputed World championship against my client, all will be revealed when I will announce live on Avulsion in a few weeks time just who that man will be.
The footage ends as we see the live Avulsion, the cameras showing various sections of the crowd waving and cheering as they hold up signs until the arena is filled with a dim light as Lucinda Welch stands in the center of the ring with a microphone, "Blue Orchid" by the White Stripes beginning to play over the PA system as white lights flash in time with the drum beat.
LW: May I introduce to you, from Brooklyn, New York....RIKKI....LEE!!
Rikki walks through the curtain and across the stage holding a Plexy award in each hand won by his client a month ago, strutting down the ramp wearing a dark suit, white shirt, thin black tie and shades as he climbs the steel stairs and steps through the ropes, smiling at Lucinda as he takes the microphone from her.
The arena then turns pitch black leaving everybody in darkness, camera flashes lighting up different spots sporadically until fire erupts from all four turnbuckles, creating a regular light source momentarily. At this point the flames die down and a sound echoes repeatedly like a piece of metal being hit repeatedly, a synthesizer beginning a pattern almost like an electronic device starting up and releasing it's soundwaves, an almost trance-like beat playing amongst the feedback, green and white lasers engulfing the stage area and moving around slowly until a heavy drilling of rock music hammers at the eardrums of those in attendance, a rough voice screaming the words as guitars play the same rhythm as the feedback and drums were earlier:
It’s time to melt you down
It’s time to strap you in
Your mind’s abut to be disminished
A white searchlight appears on the stage, lighting up a masked man as he stands totally still staring directly ahead of himself with the Undisputed World championship around his waist, the Television and Slamfest championships in each hand. Lights continue to flash a multitude of colors all around the arena as this searchlight engulfs him almost as if he were a creature from Heaven.
I scream to get me off
Air blast to pull you in
You feel the atrophy
Electric
Electric pulse
The synthesizer and drumbeat continue alone while balls of fire shoot from the front of the stage, almost burning to a crisp anybody nearby while the masked man stays in his place under the searchlight.
Nightmares to shut you down
Static to keep you in
Darkness what you don’t see
Atomic
The flames finally cease shooting up at full strength and instead smaller jets of pure flame burst in time with one another, the masked man following the steel pathway before him past them and down the ramp with the searchlight following his every move.
Shockwave to set you off
It’s time to throw the switch
It’s time that you receive
He reaches the steps, Rikki Lee looking on with pride standing in the center of the ring while his charge slides under the bottom rope and rolls to his feet, climbing the second turnbuckle nearest to him and placing a foot on the top rope, balancing himself as he looks into the darkness engulfing the crowd.
Electric
Electric pulse
While the song is played with a basic guitar riff that drives into the ears and a drum beat that resembles tribal drumming, lights begin flashing on and off, colored red, blue, gold, green, white and the voice of Rikki Lee heard barely over the din created by the music.
Rikki Lee: Standing in the ring, from the Nantan section of Kyoto in Japan, weighing in at 224lbs…..DEL……FIIIIIIIINOOOOOOOOOO!!
Delfino places his raised foot down next to the other one on the second rope and looks up to the Heavens, raising his hands as if embracing something above him before lowering his head and arms down and gently climbing off the ropes.
BT: Here he is AJ, Rick Majors himself said at the start of Slamfest last month that Delfino looked to be the most dominant wrestler in NLCW's history after only 12 months in this company and just hours later he proved that.
AJ: The Silent Warrior is literally dripping with gold. He could indeed be one of the most exciting prospects in NLCW.
BT: I can't think of anyone that matches the success he had in just one year.
The lights return to normal as Delfino stands next to his agent, clutching the Slamfest and Television championships tightly to his shoulders with each hand, Rikki Lee placing the Plexies for Rising Star 2008 and Rookie of the Year 2008 at the Silent Warrior's feet, the camera getting a close up of them before moving upwards to show the Undisputed World championship around Delfino's waist with his name across it, slowly rising up to his mask and emotionless eyes staring out through the hole in his mask.
The fans begin chanting for him as Rikki Lee smiles, holding the microphone down low at his waist as he looks around the arena.
DEL-FI-NO! DEL-FI-NO! DEL-FI-NO! DEL-FI-NO!
The sports agent raises the microphone to his mouth as he stretches out his left arm as if to embrace the fans.
Rikki Lee: Thank you, each and every one of you here tonight, watching at home and those who followed my client's journey from his debut at Slamfest 2007 up until this very moment. You've all seen him against some of NLCW's best and watched as he rose to the top in a shorter time span than anybody could have predicted, a shorter time than anybody before.
Now as promised a few weeks ago, myself and my client would like to tell the world just who his next handpicked opponent will be for the NLCW Undisputed World championship.
AJ: Here we go.
BT: This could be interesting.
Rikki Lee: Now who could this person be? Somebody talented, somebody who could take the opportunity and run with it, somebody very familiar to NLCW. This somebody is......
He takes a long and drawn out pause for effect, everybody in the building waiting with baited breath and even AJ and Bryan at ringside remaining silent to hear the announcement.
Rikki Lee: Actually two people.
BT: TWO?!
AJ: They don't call him a fighting champion for nothing I suppose.
Rikki Lee: Yes that's right, two people will challenge my client for the Undisputed championship, one of them is his first choice for an opponent while the other was decided between us based upon the unfairness we saw with him not receiving a rematch.
BT: Rematch? Could he mean.....?
Rikki Lee: That's right, Delfino will defend the Undisputed championship in two weeks time against Paul York and Dillon Durst!
AJ: Wow, what a shocker! Durst gets his rematch and Paul York has his first opportunity at main eventing here in NLCW.
BT: Paul York? Is he serious?
Rikki Lee: Now as you may be thinking, why these men? Well since Dillon Durst wasn't announced as having a rematch Delfino figured he should give the man what he is owed, especially after such a fantastic contest when the two headlined Slamfest one month ago. And Paul York? He is somebody who my client feels is similar to himself, determined yet unlike my client, he seems to lose focus and misses opportunities at the very last hurdle. With both men against my client it may be.....
Delfino leans towards Rikki, tapping him gently with a finger directly on the shoulder, grabbing his attention. Rikki turns to face his client, wondering what he could want as the Silent Warrior reaches inside the red and gold gauntlet covering his left wrist and the back of his hand, taking out a tiny slip of paper before handing it to the agent. Rikki unfolds it and looks at whatever could be on the page, taking his time as if re-reading something or trying to understand a cryptical drawing. Placing the paper into one of his pockets, he turns and asks Delfino if he's sure, receiving a gentle nod as an answer as Rikki walks towards a corner of the ring, placing the microphone down on the canvas and walking back to the center of the ring next to the Silent Warrior.
Delfino gently raises first the Slamfest championship from his left shoulder, handing it to Rikki before repeating the same and taking the Television championship from his right shoulder, the agent now holding both championship belts over his shoulders while Delfino's shoulders and chest betray a deep sigh.
BT: What's happening AJ, what was on the piece of paper?
AJ: I'm not sure we'll ever know, our Undisputed champion is certainly somewhat elusive at the best of times, a masked enigma if ever there was one.
The fans watch, unsure of what is happening as Delfino raises his hands to the back of his head, pushing his fingers underneath the long dark hair tied up and flowing from the top of his scalp and over the back of his mask. Eventually he bows his head, lowering it so that only the exposed scalp and his long, hanging hair is visible as would be the case during a match as he raised from the mat after being knocked down. His hands seemingly grip something and start tugging away, the mask coming away from his head with the recognizable mouth area snapping away from his forehead, leaving the item hanging from his fingertips. The mask drops like a rock to the mat, falling at Delfino's feet just behind the Plexy awards.
BT: Did he......did he just unmask?!
AJ: I believe he did, the first time in his career but why? What's the meaning of this? I don't understa......
Aaron Jennings is interrupted by the suddenness of the shock that would come soon after and the crowd, emitting a combination of stunned silence with a smattering of huge appreciative roars from the crowd. Rikki stands completely silent watching on as his client pushes the hair back behind his neck before raising his head to look out at the fans, showing his face for the first time.
BT: IT'S DAZZ?!!
The now unmasked Dazz, still wearing the baggy pants, white sash, white boots and red and gold gauntlets with the Undisputed World championship around his waist ends Avulsion as the show goes off the air.
