[Just before his tag match with Python, the camera cuts backstage where Jeff Kushner is walking to the stage area with his partner. The two are discussing their mutual strategies, when Jimmy West catches up to them...]
[WEST] Jeff! Jeff!
[The two turn to face him, but keep walking...]
[WEST] Jeff how does it feel to have that video? How does it feel to finally have it be proven that you never hit your wife?
[Kushner stopped for a moment, with Python watching him carefully..].
[KUSHNER] Righteous... I feels...righteous...
[Grinning, Python adds...
[PYTHON] Anybody who ever really knew him, knew he was innocent... Tonight was just the proof... Now c�mon Jeff... we�ve got more important things to think about...
[The two headed off as the camera jumped back to Page and McCoy.]
[PAGE]: We're ready for our next match. And it should be a great one. We're going to see two of the most exciting men in the CSWA hook up as tag team partners. And this is only a few weeks after that horrific Crystal Dreams match, in which they tried to kill each other -- Jeff Kushner and Python! To tell you the truth, they probably shouldn't even be wrestling this soon after that match.
[MCCOY]: I'm tired of these two and all their extreme high-flying. Maybe they should have killed each other. If I have to sit through another version of the Taipei death match...
[PAGE]: Shut up, Russell! You wet your pants during that match.
[MCCOY]: Watch it, Eddie. I have the Darkness on speed dial.
[PAGE]: Any way, Kushner and Python will be facing off against a couple of international stars who were brought into the CSWA by Murray Monroe -- Halcon Shadow and Loco Bravo. I'm not so sure if Shadow is on the same page as every one else in Murray's camp.
[MCCOY]: I'm not so sure he's even reading the same book.
[PAGE]: And Loco Bravo had to return his ALW title to the ALW after his contract was voided by that promotion, making him in possession of stolen property.
[MCCOY]: Yeah, he looks like a thief. Can someone go out to the parking lot and check on my rental.
[PAGE]: Let's go to Diamond Lou for the introductions.
[Lou is standing in the ring, holding a microphone as he begins the introductions.]
[DIAMOND LOU]: Ladies and gentlemen... the following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall with a 15-minute time limit. Your referee for this match... Willie Waters. Now making his way toward the ring... representing the first team... he is MURRAY 'MONEY' MONROOOOOOOE!
[Monroe makes his way down the isle to a somewhat mixed reaction, but very noticeable boos. Murray rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and jogs around the ring, showing off the MSWA Gravity title as if he were the champion. The shot fades to black as digitally rendered Mexican national flag fades into view, waving over the black background as the hip-hop sampled mariachi sounds of Delinquent Habits' "Return of the Tres" begins to play.
[Red, silver and green pyro lights up the entrance way as Bravo appears to a chorus of cheers as he makes his way toward the ring, high-fiving isle and ringside fans.]
[Fading into the shot is close up of Bravo's smiling face. After a few more beats and DJ samples, with the help of CGI, one of Bravo's black, red and green masks flashes over his face. That mask morphs into other variations of his mask, changing each time until Ives of Delinquent Habits begins rapping.]
[A shot of Bravo, wearing his wrestling attire, standing on the second rope, facing screaming fans while holding up the ALW championship with his left hand and gesturing the number three with with the middle, ring and pinkie fingers of his right hand.]
[A shot of Bravo sitting on the top turnbuckle with his opponent standing facing away from the corner.]
[Half way down the isle, Bravo pauses to hold up his pinkie, ring and middle fingers in the tres gesture.]
[Bravo grabs his opponent's head and applies an inverted facelock before jumping off the second turnbuckle, swinging around on the side of his opponent's body and dropping him on the back of his head with a swinging inverted facelock DDT.]
[A shot of Bravo applying a standing headscissors on his opponent. Bravo crosses his opponent's arm under his chest, lifts his opponent horizontal to the mat and sits down, dropping his opponent back first to the mat with a pyramid driver.]
[Bravo hops up on the ring apron near a neutral corner and catapults himself to the top turnbuckle facing away from the center of the ring where he does a back flip and lands on his feet in the ring.]
[A shot of Bravo standing on the ring apron, grabbing the top rope and using it to launch himself up, jumping off the top rope and landing stomach first on his opponent with a catapult springboard splash. The music fades.]
[Bravo points at Monroe, who backs away, taking a defensive posture. The shot fades to black until suddenly and unexpectedly...]
[A flash of lightning explodes across the screen as David Draiman's scapel-like vocals ignite Disturbed's "A Welcome Burden." Through the explosion a head-to-toe three-dimmensional computer-generated depiction of Halcon Shadow appears over the black background, rotating from front to back, synchronized with the articulated noise of Disturbed's Dan Donegan, Fuzz and Mike Wengren. With each beat and rotation, Shadow's wrestling attired morphs to a different color pattern -- red, black, gold, silver, orange, green, blue...]
[Shadow appears at the entrance ramp through a cascade of silver pyro. He receives a somewhat mixed reaction from the crowd. He takes off at a full sprint toward the ring, his robe blowing in his wake.]
[Shadow slides under the bottom rope right in front of Bravo, who gets in a defensive stance. Shadow slides forward, flipping forward into a head stand and kipping up to his feet in a martial arts stance.]
[On the screen, suddenly, Shadow stops rotating and the camera quickly zooms toward his masked face, stopping on a full shot of his face as it slowly zooms in closer to one eye.]
[As the camera zooms closer to his eye, images in his eye become noticeable.]
[The camera zooms deeper into his eye, morphing into a shot of Shadow in action in Rising Sun Wrestling, performing an off the top rope leg lariat and taking down his opponent.]
[As the vocals reprieve, there is a shot of Shadow taking down an opponent with a rana suicida... followed by a shot of him landing on a downed opponent with top rope twisting somersault senton, rolling to his feet and performing a standing moonsault splash on his opponent.]
[As the vocals come back in, there is a shot of Shadow landing on an opponent with a catapult somersault leg drop.]
[A shot of Shadow taking down an opponent with a springboard straight leg side kick.]
[A shot of Shadow dropping an opponent with his suplex body slam through the legs piledriver -- the Halcon Arrow.]
[A shot of Shadow landing on an opponent with his top rope twisting somersault splash -- Phoenix Splash.]
[The music fades as Shadow paces around the ring. Suddenly, the arena goes pitch black and the crowd screams in delight as a voice blasts through the arena.]
[VOICE]: BEWARE THE SNAKEBITE!!!
[Learn the Hard Way by Nickelback blasts through the arena as a soft, fluorescent light is cast over the entrance ramp. Suddenly, the ramp explodes with pyro! The crowd explodes as Python emerges from the flames, completely pumped.]
[As Python becomes fully visible, it is clear that he has kept his new look. His spiked hair, dyed red at the top, lights up under the special light. The painted snakes coiled around his arms shine with a creepy sort of glow, starting just above his black, fingerless gloves and disappearing under an illuminated red and black sleeveless t-shirt. The red highlights on his shine brightly under the neon light as he stands with his head bowed, listening to the music blaring over the speakers and the deafening ovation of the crowd.]
[Python nods his head to the rhythm with a grin spreading across his face as the cheering gets louder and louder.]
[Python sprints down to the ring and slides in. He immediately hops up onto the second turnbuckle and stares out at the crowd through the wall of crystal clear glass. The ovation doubles in size as Python turns his head to the sky and throws one arm in the air, shouting something to the fans. Python gets down as the music and camera flashes die down and waits, adjusting his gloves. The music and pyro fade as a figure steps out before the crowd. His head is low as he steps to the top of the entrance ramp, simply waiting and listening.]
[As the song hits the first chorus, a massive blast of fireworks shoot out in a circle formation surrounding Jeff at the top of the ramp.]
[The lights raise, and as usual the stare of concentration on his face is like stone.]
[The fans pop huge for Kushner as he stands silently before them. His new sense of intensity has brought a whole new group of followers to the fore. Jeff makes his way down to the ring.]
[The music fades as Diamond Lou begins to speak.]
[DIAMOND LOU]: Introducing the first team... weighing in at a combined 435 pounds! From Mexico City, Mexico... LOCO BRAVOOOOOOO! And his tag team partner... from Tokyo, Japan... HALCON SHADOOOOOOOW!
[Bravo and Shadow receive a mixed reaction from the fans as Diamond Lou continues.]
[DIAMOND LOU]: And their opponents... weighing in at a combined 444 pounds! From Toronto, Ontario, Canada... JEFF KUSHNERRRRRRR! And his tag team partner... from Newark, New Jersey... PYYYYYYYTHON!
[Kushner and Python receive a thunderous ovation from the fans, who begin to chant: "CRYSTAL DREAMS! CRYSTAL DREAMS! CRYSTAL DREAMS!" Diamond Lou exits the ring as Waters checks the competitors for illegal objects or loaded attire.]
[PAGE]: The fans are really showing their appreciation for the great performances we've seen in recent weeks from Jeff Kushner and Python!
[Bravo removes his ALW T-shirt, revealing a sleeveless top that matches his tights. He throws the T-shirt to the fans. Shadow removes his robe, revealing his scars. He carefully hands his robe to Monroe, who steps through the top and middle ropes, exiting the ring.]
[PAGE]: Well, it's time to get this one under way. The fan are solidly behind Jeff Kushner and Python... and Loco Bravo seems to be fairly popular too. But their a little undecided on Halcon Shadow. We'll see how this one plays out.
[Python and Kushner stand in their corner, talking things over. And agree that Kushner will start the match. Python catapults himself over the top rope, landing standing on the apron. Meanwhile in the other corner, Bravo and Shadow do not appear to be agreeing at all. But Shadow steps through the top and middle ropes, allowing Bravo to start the match for their team.]
[PAGE]: Looks like it's going to be Kushner and Loco Bravo to start this one out.

[DING! DING! DING!]
