[WildFire! goes on the air to the opening riffs of Anthrax's Gung Ho.]
[The screen comes to life with a shot of the newest entrants to the CSWA Loco Bravo, Serpiente Americano and Halcon Shadow standing in front of a ALW backdrop that slowly burns up to be replaced with a CSWA backdrop. A burst of flames covers the screen but is quickly replaced by the faces of Quinn Tate and Murray Monroe.]
[Flames shoot across the screen followed by an image of Loki who stands with his head bowed, his hands wrapped around a bouquet of lillies. More flames followed by a action shot of Napalm and Blackwell fighting it out during the First Blood Match.]
[Flames.A shot of Ripper Longshanks standing in the middle of an empty ring, the shark grin plastered across his face. Flash of flames.......Images of Casey Blyght and Serpiente Americano taking to the air during their debut matches.

Another flash............Adam-X pointing at the crowd a huge smile on his face.............Flames streak across the screen........A shot of Nighthawk and his wife Annie Cole. Nighthawk stands protectively in front of Annie..Annie's left hand rests on The Reign of Pain's shoulder.]
[A image of Python doing the twenty five foot dive off the glass onto Kushner flashes across the screen. More flames then a still of Kushner and Python lying on the mat, their bodies and faces bleeding from all the glass that has become imbedded into their skin during the Crystal Dreams match]
[A shot of Ripper Longshanks Deep Ending Mace during his farewell match.........Flames lick their way up the screen...A shot of Mace standing over Ripper his face a crimson mask..........Fade to a still of Mace looking back at the fans as he walks up the ramp]
[More flames followed by images of Napam, TSM and Alex Constantine............A flash of flames.........The Coalition Tag Team Champs The Whiskey Devils as they make their way down towards the ring during their title defence in the BWWa. In the foreground Alex Flare and Johnny Thunder can be seen waiting for them.]
[Flames scream across the screen and disappear to show the Darkness making their way down to the ring.. .]
[A shot Adam-X on his knees a laid out Johnny Storm in front of him............Flames shoot across the screen............A final image of Adam-X standing in the middle of the ring, the CSWA Heavyweight Belt held over his head.......]
[The words WildFire! pop up on the screen and are quickly engulfed in flames]
[Pyro starts going off througout the Dakota Dome as flames shoot out of the top of the ramp and the video screen lights up showing the CSWA logo followed by WildFire!. The fans jump their feet as an instrumental version of Gung Ho starts blasting through the sound system.]
[Camera zooms in then pans across the arena where fans are waving makeshift signs that vary from "OOOOOH I WAS EXPERIENCED" to "Darkness.......We don't need no stinking Darkness" to "I taught Chris Wright everything he knows". The camera then moves to inside the ring where ring announcer "Diamond" Lou Walsh stands with a mic in his hand. With a big grin he brings the mic up to his mouth]
[DIAMOND LOU]: Mitchell, South Dakota Welcome to WILDFIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
[The noise level raises to a defeaning tone as Walsh finishes his announcement. The camera zooms away from Walsh and focuses in on the announcing team for the CSWA, Eddie "Two Times" Page and Russell McCoy. Page wears a black CSWA polo shirt while McCoy wears a black button down shirt with a small WildFire! logo printed above his heart.Behind the announcing team CSWA fans jostle to get their faces on the tv. Both men smile into the camera and Page starts speaking]
[PAGE]: Welcome to WildFire! I'm Eddie Page and with me to my right is none other than.......
[McCOY]: The best damn announcer in the business........
{PAGE]: [Page doesn't miss a beat] Russell McCoy. And tonight folks we have one hell of a show for you and the fans here in Mitchell will not go home unhappy.
[MCCOY]: How could they not go away happy For one thing they are in Mitchell South Dorkota and we are the best thing to happen to them since toilet paper hit this place.
[PAGE]: [Page looks sideways at McCoy] I don't know about that Russ. Mitchell has the Universi.........
[MCCOY]: Who cares. The CSWA is here and that's all that matters.
[PAGE]:Well I can't argue that point. Anyways folks we have one hell of a night planned here, ranging from what should be an oustanding tag team affair between Halcon Shadow and Loco Bravo who will go up against Napalm and current CSWA Television Champion Lennox Mullroix.
[As Page speaks a split screen opens up showing the images of Shadow and Bravo on the left while Napalm and Mullroix take up the right. Three of the four men are masked their facial expressions well hidden by the hood, whiile Mullroix's mouth is pulled back in a cocky grin]
[MCCOY]: God I am so glad that Napalm put the mask back on. I sure hope his wife didn't marry him for his looks.
[PAGE]: Now that was uncalled for.
[MCCOY]: No the only thing uncalled for is the punishment we had to go through when we saw him without the mask.
[Page rolls his eys but drops the subject.]
[PAGE]: In other action we see the reinstatement of the Gravity Title as Quinn Tate goes up against one of the hottest rising superstars in the CSWA Jeff Kushner.
[The faces of Page and McCoy disappear and the screen is filled with the images of Jeff Kushner and Quinn Tate. Behind and to the right of Tate is Murray Monroe to Tate's left is the provocative Rayne Lange.]
[MCCOY]:Tate should consider himself lucky for even being on the show after walking out on Robert earlier.
[PAGE]: I hate to agree with you Russell but your right. Despite what people think of Robert Marshall he has every right to expect the members of the CSWA not to do something that makes them and the CSWA look bad.
[MCCOY]: Thank you Eddie it's about time you acknowledge by superior intellect.
[PAGE]: What in the world are you talking about.......................
[Before Page can finish his sentence the opening guitar riffs of Alice Cooper's No More Mr. Nice Guy blast through the sound system. The crowd turns towards the CSWAtron and see the image of a scowling Robert Marsall peering down on them]
[PAGE]: And speaking of the boss, here he comes.
[MCCOY]: Wonder what the big man has to say today.
[PAGE]: We will soon find out Russell.
[A moment later the man himself steps out onto the ramp. The fans boo him mercilessly as Marshall starts a slow walk down the ramp. Behind him the video screen flashes with several images of Marshall verbally laying into the likes of Adam-X, Alex Constantine, Robert Lancaster and Ripper Longshanks]
[A technician meets Marshall at the bottom of the ramp and hands him a microphone. Marshall nods his thanks and starts a slow climb into the ring. Once inside of it he points towards the back and Alice Cooper's voice quickly fades away.]
[MARSHALL]: Now before I get to business I would like to say thanks to all of you for putting out your hard earned money to come and witness what is sure to be a hell of a show.
[CROWD]: CEE.......ESS.....DUB......YA...............CEE..........ESS........DUB.........YA!!
[Marshall pauses to let the chant die down.]
[MARSHALL]:I hate to ruin this love fest but I really need to get a few things said or the boys back stage will be screaming for my head.
[PAGE]:Like that's not happening already.
[MCCOY]: Shut up Eddie, I'm trying to listen.
[Marshall starts to pace around the ring. His brow furrows and it looks like he is trying to find the right words to say before he speaks.]
[MARSHALL]: As you all know buy now Jack Cross has been hospitilized and the CAL belt has been stripped away from him and placed on a more worthy man who goes by the name of Chris Kline. By now you have also learned that Jack Cross has been suspended without pay until a time he can prove he can come back and wrestle at a level that is respectable to the CSWA and the CAL.
[A mixture of boos and cheers fill the Dakota Dome. Marshall stares off towards the crowd a mix of contempt and humor on his face]
[PAGE]: How can they boo. I'm no fan of Cross but the man is not well
[MARSHALL]: That being said we in the CSWA wish Jack Cross a speedy recovery and hope he can work out the issues that have plagued him for so long. [another pause] Moving on I would like to tell Quinn Tate that he is now officially on probation. If he decides to get out of line again and make a mockery of what the CSWA is all about then he will damn well face the consequences. [Marshall points towards the back stage area] Tate I DAMN well know you are listening so pay attention. Don't you think for one moment that you are untouchable. NO ONE IS! I suspended Nighthawk and he brings in more money in what show that you make in one month so heed my words and think twice before you decide to do something stupid.
[MCCOY]: Yeah. Always burns my butt to see wrestlers who think they are bigger than the game....
[PAGE]: That's the pot calling the kettle black.
[MARSHALL]: Now onto some good news which in this case is the Coalition pay per view Coronation which is to be held sometime in mid July.
[PAGE]: For those fans who don't know Coronation is the event where the winner of the Crusade squares off against the Coalition Champion.
[MCCOY]: Problem there Eddie. The Crusade winner is now the champ.
[PAGE]: Your right..............
[In the ring Marshall stops his pacing and faces the nearest camera]
[MARSHALL]: Now since Chris Kline is the winner of the crusade for the chosen one there will have to be a new contender picked so that he will have someone to wrestle at Coronation. So in order to prepare the CSWA for the chance that a member of our fine roster is going to be picked to face Kline I have decided that four men will compete for the opportunity to represent the CSWA. Those four men are.... [Marshall reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper.].............
[PAGE]: This coud be interesting...........
[MARSHALL] Taranis.................Python................
[The crowd goes nuts at the mention of the popular high flyer.]
[MARSHALL]; Chris Wright......................and Jeff Kushner. Unlike a normal tournament though these four men will square off in a gauntlet match next week to decide who will represent the CSWA if by c hance we are picked to go up against the CAL Champ.
[MCCOY]: A ladder match. What's so big about that.
[PAGE}: Not that kind of ladder...
[MARSHALL]: For those of you unsure what I mean by a gauntlet match is that the the first two men will face eacother. The winner of the fist match will immediately have to face the third member of said match. That winner will face the fourth participant. The winner of the whole shooting match will be the one standing at the end [Marshall grins] and will go on to bigger and better things. There will also be two CSWA showcase matches that will feature four of the hottest CSWA wrestlers at the time. So here's the deal. [another pause] I challenge each and everyone of you backstage to start bringing your A game to the ring. Show me that you are worthy of being on a CAL wide pay per view extravangaza. Show me that you have what it takes to move up the ladder of success in the CSWA. Because if you show me you have what it takes you can damn well guarantee that the reward will be worth the effort. [Marshall grins into the camera] And on that note I'll hand things over to our capablel announcing crew and we can get WILDFIRE ON THE ROAD!!!!
[No More Mr. Nice Guy kicks back in and Marshall makes his way out of the ring and up the ramp. The crowd jumps to it's feet and starts chanting again]
[CROWD]:CEE.......ESS.....DUB......YA...............CEE..........ESS........DUB.........YA!!
[PAGE]: WOW! Things are going to start hopping around the CSWA after those comments.
[MCCOY]: Robert has issued a challenge to the whole CSWA to step up and prove they are worthy to go to a CAL pay per view. Let's see who has the moxy to do it.
[PAGE]: I have a few ideas who can do it but I'll save that for another time. We will be right back after these words from our sponsers.
