As “Ironman’ plays, the Krono-o-Tron lights up with Carnage’s graphics, and out he walks, standing on the Entrance Ramp alone looking down.

He raises his arms and the Guild comes following out behind him… Rancid… Masterzoma… Asteroid and Carnage’s little buddy, Menace.

The Assassin’s Guild stands behind Carnage, as he brings the mic to his mouth.

Carnage: “Doctor Abortion…”

The crowd boos, both at the evil man who could be calling it quits, and at the other evil man, just for having his named mentioned.

Carnage: “You have run your mouth, time and time again. The one thing you never do is prove yourself in the ring. A momentary twitch of luck is all that allowed you to win last time. That’s all. I am the more EVIL man.”
