(The New England TRON materializes to a scene lit by candles backstage. Deadman stands in front of an altar that encompasses a white cloth that no longer bears the symbol of the Brotherhood. The light from the tallow of wick rebound from the creases in Deadman's face, which bows over his folded hands.)

Jason: It's our Heavyweight Champion! He's not scheduled to be here tonight since he'll be competing in the NeWA Thesz tournament to represent New England Wrestling, but it should be interesting to hear what he's got to say!

Deadman: I know I have not accomplished as yet all you expect of me and if that is your reason for bathing me in the fresh dew of another dawn, I am most grateful. I am prepared, at last, to make you proud of me. I will forget yesterday, with all its trials into tribulations, aggravations and setbacks, angers and frustrations�. For the past is already a dream from which I can neither retrieve a single word or erase any foolishness.

(Deadman sighs.)

Deadman: I will resolve, however, that if I have disappointed anyone yesterday through my thoughtlessness, I will not let this day's sun set before I make amends, and nothing I do today will be of greater importance. I will not fret the future, because I know my success and happiness does not depend on straining to see what lurks dimly on the horizon� but to do, this day, what lies clearly ahead.

(He inhales deeply and exhales once again.)

Deadman: I will treasure this day, for it is all I have. I know that its rushing hours cannot be accumulated or stored, like precious grain, for future use. I will live as all good actors do when they are on stage � only in the moment. I cannot perform at my best today by regretting my previous act's mistakes or fretting the matches to come.

(He lifts my head for a moment.)

Deadman: I will embrace today's difficult tasks, take off my coat, and make dust in the world. I will remember that the busier I am, and the harder I train, the less harm I am apt to suffer; the tastier will be my food, the sweeter my sleep, and the better satisfied I will be with my place in the world.

(He closes his eyes tightly.)

Deadman: I will free myself today from slavery to the clock and calendar. Although I will plan this day in order to conserve my steps and energy, I will begin to measure my life in �true- accomplishment, not years; in knowledge, not seasons; in feelings, not figures on a dial.

(He slowly opens his eyes once again.)

Deadman: I will remain aware of how little it takes to make this day a rewarding one. Never will I pursue happiness, because it is not a goal, just a by-product, and there is no happiness in having or in getting, only in giving.

(He steadies his breaths.)

Deadman: There is no danger I might encounter today or at the Thesz, because I am certain that nothing will happen to me that I am not equipped to handle with your help. Just as any gem is polished by friction, I am certain to become more valuable through this day's adversities, and if by chance you close one door, there will always be another to open. I will be a giver of gifts and deliver to my enemies the gift of forgiveness, and my opponents, tolerance.

(Deadman smiles.)

Deadman: I will condition myself to look on every problem I encounter today as no more than the creases in a sidewalk. I will either walk over them with a simple stride, or step on them with ease. I will face the world with goals set for this day, but they will be attainable ones, not the vague, impossible variety declared by those who make a career of failure. I realize that you always try me with a little, first, to see what I would do with a lot. I will never hide my talents, nor will I vaunt them with irritating egotism... But if I am silent, I am forgotten, and if I do not advance, I will fall back. If I walk away from a challenge today, my self-esteem will be forever scarred, and if I cease to grow, even a little, I will become smaller.

(Deadman closes his eyes one more time.)

Deadman: But now, I understand the secret of correcting the attitude of others and that is to correct my own. I will turn away from temptation today that might cause me to break my word. I will work this day with all my strength; content in the knowledge that life does not consist of wallowing in the past or peering anxiously at the future. It is appalling to contemplate the great number of painful steps by which one arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. Whatever it offers, little or much, my life is now. I will always remember that this is the only day I have and I must play it to the fullest. What my part may signify in whole, I may not recognize, but I am here to live it and now is the time.

(He opens his eyes again and takes a deep breath of the air that surrounds him.)

Deadman: I will count this day a separate life. I will remember that those who have fewest regrets are those who take each moment as it comes for all it is worth. This is my day and these are my seeds of time�

(Deadman unfolds his hands and stares towards the camera listening to the silence of the audience.)

Deadman: � And I speak these words on this day, and in this moment for one reason�.

(The crowd stirs.)

Brian: Well, what for?

(Deadman lifts the flanks of his upper lips as he continues.)

Deadman: The Brotherhood is no more.

(Some fans cheer while others don't know how to react.)

Deadman: I've changed my ways of yore, for the Brotherhood is no more� I've discovered the real truth of the Brotherhood and have found its all too real deceit... But with it I found a new light� The �true- light, and it was He who has given me one more chance� One more opportunity to live this life and perform one last task here on earth before my time is through.

Jason: And what might �that- be??

Deadman: I now oppose the one who goes forth to conquer as he sits upon his white horse; the one who sits upon his red horse to take the peace from this earth; and the one who sits upon the Black horse who holds a pair of balances in his hand.

(The crowd slowly starts to cheer knowing what is about to come.)

Jason: Uh oh� Are you thinking what I'm thinking Brian??

Brian: I don't know� Are you thinking about grabbing me a hot dog from that vendor who keeps yelling from behind us?

(Deadman pauses.)

Deadman: I now oppose the Horsemen!

(The crowd boos.)

Jason: Well it doesn't seem like the crowd is in favour of that, huh Brian!

Brian: You mean you buying me a hot dog?

Jason: No! Are you� *huffs* oh forget it� Deadman can't take on the Horsemen on his own, can he??

Brian: Well, Deadman's good but� Pagan, Thanatos, and Nightstalker?? That'd be�.

Deadman: But it would be foolish for me to oppose such a force on my own� And that is why I've bound with a Legion in its own right�

Jason: Who???

(Long Pause)

Deadman: THE Legion.

(Before the crowd is able to react, the candles go out within a second and darkness arouses. During the moment of darkness, crashes and bangs are heard.)

Jason: Wait a minute here! What's going on??

Brian: Hell if I know, the lights are out!

(Silence returns, and the candles ignite once again, and Deadman is out of sight.)

Jason: What just happened? Where's Deadman?

(The camera pans around the alter only to find Deadman out cold on the other side.)

Jason: Who� What� Deadman is out cold!! Who could have done this!?!

Brian: I bet it was those damn Horsemen!

Jason: Well that's certainly a possibility, Brian� But Joey Rival was attacked not too long ago and now our champion Deadman! Who's behind this carnage??? Somebody get some help back there!! We need to take a break� STAY WITH US! (The scene fades back to both men in the ring for our first match of the night.)

(The match between Achellios and Ny Va Damme started off as a fist fight. Both men traded punches that soon went into haymakers. Achellios finally got the upperhand with a kick to the mid section that led to a spike DDT. Achellios went on with laying boots into Ny and attempted a German suplex. Ny blocked two of them and elbowed off Achellios and switched to land his own German. Both men got up dazed but Ny had recovered faster and layed in a fury of chops. After a few minutes of beating down Achellios Ny went for the Damme-Nation but Achellious twisted free. When Ny turned around he met another mid section kick followed by a Dante's Inferno that planted Ny for the three count.)

(Kurt began the match with a series of chop and forearm shots that had no effect on Night Stalker. Stalker pushed The Kurt away using one hand against Kurt's head. Kurt tried again with a running clothesline but Stalker caught him with one of his own. As the ref checked on Kurt, Stalker walked over to continue his attack. He was stopped however when The Kurt landed a low blow from the mat as the ref talking to him and seeing nothing. Kurt wrestled the rest of the match attempted to keep Stalker off his feet, which he did quite well. When Kurt thought Stalker was down for good, he attempted his near perfect moonsault. Stalker moved and Kurt caught nothing but mat. Both men got to their feet and Kurt hit Stalker with two kicks to the mid section. Chavez locks Stalker's head and arm, looking for the Shockwave. Stalker blocks the first attempt however, and raises a knee into the gut of Chavez, doubling him over. Stalker places Chavez in a double arm facebuster position, and in one fluent motion brings Chavez to a vertical position while jumping in the air, causing Chavez's head to crash into the mat at the end of the move. Stalker covers Chavez and the referee counts the three..)

(Green Gus and Mike Knox start off feeling each other out, reversing moves and whatnot, before Gus gains the advantage by hitting a flipping armbar suplex. Gus begins to work on Mike's arm and shoulder, using submission holds and kicks to it. Mike manages to make his way to his feet, and get in some offense, but Gus puts him back down with a shot to his worn down shoulder. Gus locks him in a arm scissors, holding Mike in the hold for almost 5 minutes before Mike can make it to the ropes and break the hold. Mike struggles to his feet, as Gus panders to the fans. Gus turns around, and gets a boot to the stomach for his trouble from Mike, who tosses him into the corner with the good arm. Mike begins stomping Gus out in the corner, before finally kicking him to the floor. Mike takes the time to catch a breather and let his shoulder heal a tad bit. Gus rolls back into the ring, and is greeted with moke kicks to the head, before Mike grabs him, tosses him into another corner, and lays a roundhouse kick to the side of Gus's head, knocking him out. Mike drags him to the middle of the ring, and makes the cover for the 1....2.....3!)

(Carl Knox and Chris Evans start off in a hurry, with big shots being thrown by both men. Carl gets the upper hand with a vicious kick to the face. Carl begins to use his various submission holds on Evans, weakening him, before going back on the offensive. Evans fights through Carl's attacks, and manages to take the advantage, and get in some blows of his own. Both men are going for broke, bringing out their full aresenal of moves. Evans goes for a moonsault, but Knox catches him and powerbombs the hell out of him, locks him in the Sharpshooter, and gets Evans to tap out.)

SaraAnne: And Evans has come out on top! He remains our International Champ! Brian: Congrats to him, hopefully he won't be such a paper champ now?

Jason: How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

Brian: Nothing, nevermind, up next is our main event!

(The scene opens to the inside of the ring where both Thanny and Prince of Darkness has been introduced. Thanny is looking worn out from his tag match at NeWA with fellow Horseman, Pagan. Thanny is warming up, while PoD is standing their concentrating on what is about to go down. Finally the two lock up and begin trying to gain ground in this bitter lockup! Neither man is losing footing here as the other manages to gain ground, and then lose it. Finally Thanny sidesteps and throws PoD onto his back. Thanny drops a mighty elbow onto the sternum of PoD to help keep him down. As PoD attempts to get his wind back, Thanny is already picking him up and nails him with a brutal clothesline sending him back down to the mat. Thanny picks up PoD again and and nails him with a running powerslam! Thanny goes for the pin: 1....2....kickout! Thanny not provolked by this, picks up PoD, but PoD is waiting and grills Thanny with a powerful uppercut to his belly. Thanny hobbles back giving PoD the opportunity to nail a roundhouse kick, which doesn't send Thanny to the mat! Thanny regains himself but only to be sent to the mat with a powerful superkick! Thanny is laid out! PoD goes to the top ropes and executes a 450 splash and goes for the pin: 1.....2....NO! Thanny kicks out at the last instant! PoD stands up rather upset. He jumps on Thanny and begins poounding at his skull and Thanny is just taking it. Thanny finally pivots and sends the much smaller PoD flying over his head. Thanny slowly gets back up to his feet groggily. Thanny reaches for PoD and grabs him by the hair and pulls him down. PoD is trying to make Thanny release his hair but it doesn't seem to be working. Thanny grabs PoD by the neck now and tries for a neckbreaker, but PoD squirrels himself out of it and nails Thanny with a headbutt causing his nose to start bleeding! PoD off the ropes now and nails Thanny in the gut with a drop kick causing Thanny to double over. PoD is going for the Dark Night Concerto! He goes for it...and THANNY GRABS HIS LEG! Thanny with the last bit of energy he had grabbed PoD's powerful leg in mid flight and stopped him! PoD pissed off, kicks Thanny in the face with his other foot! Thanny is laid out! I think he's done. PoD climbs to the top rope and nails the End of Days! COVER! 1.....2.....3! WOW! WHAT AN UPSET! THIS WILL DEFINITELY NOT GO UNPUNISHED! PoD stands up proudly to a mixture of boos and cheers.)

Brian: Wait...Thanny is sitting up! He stands up looking pissed off! Blood is smeared all over his face! He taps PoD on the shoulder and....OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! POWERBOMB! POD! THROUGH THE *BEEP*in MAT!!!!!! Thanny is fuming! We will see you next week folks!

(The scene cuts out to a broken PoD lying in the middle of a broken ring with Thanny standing over him breathing heavily.)
