Today, the doors of the Khellegher School of Wrestling have opened to the public for the first time in months. Crowds of people, having seen the advertisements and signs all over the city of New York, have thronged to this location for the first day of a week of celebration. Some much older men can be seen wearing thirty year old "KWC" t-shirts, but mostly the crowd is young, with no real knowledge of the KWC of the past.
They file in and take their seats. As the time comes nearer to the official start, a hush falls over the crowd and the lights dim. Then, suddenly, it happens.
"RELOAD!"
The crowd goes nuts as the familiar entrance music of Vengeance pipes through the speakers. And through the curtain comes the man himself. To the shock of everyone present, he doesn't wear his ring gear, but a three piece armani suit. This causes quite a few catcalls, and Vengeance smiles warmly at the crowd. He steps into the ring, his usual theatricality gone, replaced by the air of a business man.[/i]
Vengeance: Welcome to the KWC!
The crowd roars.[/i]
Vengeance: After so very long, my father's federation is finally about to return from the dead. After so very long, the Khellegher Wrestling Company returns, right here in the greatest city in the world, New York!
It's a cheap pop, but he means it.[/i]
Vengeance: On July 17th, the first Monday Night Overdrive will be broadcast live to the world, and every man on our roster will be competing for the World Heavyweight Championship - a title that has been vacant for far too long. Between now and then, you will hear from each of these men and women, and I'm sure all of them will have a lot to say, so I'll leave it to them. Instead, I wanted to come out here to welcome all of you, and to introduce the staff of the KWC. First, of course, there's myself, the part owner and acting president, Johnathan Khellegher. Or, as you all know me, Vengeance.
There's a pop, but Vengeance hushes it quickly.[/i]
Vengeance: Let's meet our announcing team, shall we? First, recently aquired from HJU wrestling, in my opinion the best play by play man in the business, Lance "The Couch" Cane!
The Couch, a rotund man with an almost handlebar mustache, makes his way to the announce booth, waving at the fans and looking somewhat awkward with the attention.[/i]
Vengeance: And his announcing partner, on color commentary, a man some of you might remember, the most opinionated man in sports entertainment, The Freak Of Nature!
FON, as he prefers to be called, comes out in an entrance that is the antithesis of The Couch's. He basks in the crowd's cheers, and even does a little flip as he's coming down the ramp. As he walks by the ring, he pauses to stare at Vengeance - it doesn't seem he likes the man one bit. He takes his seat.[/i]
The Couch: Well, it's good to finally start working with you FON! Nice to meet you.
FON: Shut up. You know, the only reason I'm here is because the paychecks are decent. As far as I'm concerned, this whole place can go to hell.
The Couch: That's not really a great attitude to start with...
FON: I said shut up!
The Couch: Ooookaaay....
Vengeance: The KWC has, of course, hired the most talented and alert team of referees in the business, and I don't have time to introduce them to all of you. However, I think you should all meet a man who I think will have a big impact on the way matches happen here in the KWC. Please welcome, senior referee The White Tiger!
There is a collective gasp as the man formerly known as Tiger Knight steps onto the ramp, having exchanged his orange stripes for white ones.[/i]
The Couch: This is huge! Literally! Vengeance has brought in the 7'5", 500 lb White Tiger as the senior referee! This will change the face of the game!
FON: Someone needs to tell that guy that on him, stripes are NOT slimming! Nothing is!
The White Tiger walks around the ring and stands next to the announce table.[/i]
The Couch: Well, go on, tell him!
FON just coughs.[/i]
Vengeance: And finally, our main interviewers, ladies and gentlemen, welcome Conan and Lisa!
Conan, a tall skinny goofy looking guy, and Lisa, a shorter but gorgeous brunette, appear on the ramp. Conan immediately runs to the ring, jump in and hugs Vengeance, while Lisa just looks on in disgust and checks her manicure.[/i]
Vengeance: Ok, get off me RIGHT NOW, and go stand over there with Lisa. Geez...
Conan obliges.[/i]
FON: Why did Vengeance hire that guy? He's insane! He thinks Vengeance is his master or something weird shit like that.
The Couch: Maybe if he's an interviewer, Vengeance thinks he'll stay away from him and find someone else to stalk.
Vengeance: Ladies and Gentlemen, the KWC staff!
The crowd cheers.[/i]
Vengeance: We have the greatest staff in professional wrestling. We have the greatest wrestlers in professional wrestling, and I know we're going to have the greatest fans in professional wrestling! The KWC's era has begun! Now let's get this show started!
There's a huge pop as "Reload" starts again, and Vengeance makes his way to the back. The interviewers, referees, and announcers all wave, and everyone but the two announcers follows Vengeance. And thus, a new era begins...[/i]
