The house lights dim, and the arena begins to fill with a green light.  Better that you by Metallica begins to play over the speakers.  The sold out TNT Wrestling audience begins to boo as James Sanderson steps out from behind the curtain, onto the stage accompanied by Joe Shmoe.  Sanderson is dressed in his wrestling attire while Shmoe is dressed in his street clothes.  Both men walk down the ramp toward the ring, Shmoe verbally abusing the TNT Wrestling fans, and Sanderson keeping a stone face.  Sanderson slides underneath the bottom rope as Shmoe climbs up the steps, through the ropes and out of the ring.  Sanderson climbs to the second rope and raises his arms in the air as Shmoe walks to the opposite side of the ring to grab a microphone.
 

 

The music stops, the green lights go off and the house lights come back on.  Sanderson climbs down and walks to the middle of the ring as Shmoe begins to address the audience.

Wow!  What a week it has been.  It has been a tremendous week for a number of people.  One of those people in particular, is my man James Sanderson.  Two men last Sunday night on Mayhem attacked the already injured 10 Minute Major, and will put him out of his misery for good.  Major is lucky that these two men beat him senseless, because it's only half the beating he would have received if it was from James Sanderson.  Finally Major is taken care of, and I have Nick Pellet and James Ramage to thank for it.  The two of them did a wonderful job in eliminating Major, and they should be rewarded for their job well done.

Now, Sanderson, after a week of sub par wrestling against Jesse Westcoat and losing his Hardcore Championship, Sanderson came back with a vengeance against The Mutant God Kazama, and left the arena with a victory.  I remember saying the night before this big match that Kazama will either have his good weeks or his bad weeks.  Well folks, last night was most definitely one of his good weeks.  Kazama was totally on his game in that match.  He looked better than I've seen him in a while.  It's funny though.  Even though Kazama was having such a great week, Sanderson still managed to pull off a well fought, and well earned victory.  As good as Kazama was, Sanderson was always one step ahead of him, and that's just the way Sanderson wrestles.  He knows what his opponent is going to do before he even does it.  You see, wrestlers perform many moves out of instinct.  That means he or she doesn't know what he or she is going to do until it has already been done.  In the case of James Sanderson, he watched Kazama all week, he watched tapes of Kazama wrestling at his best, and having some of the best matches of his life.  Sanderson studied what moves he does when, and was able to counter then before Kazama even knew what was happening to him.  That's just how smart Sanderson is.  I didn't even have to advise him to do this.  I went over to his hotel room to tell him he should be studying Kazama tapes.  When I walked in Kazama was on the television, and he had his pen and notepad out taking notes.  That's the kind of dedication Sanderson has for this sport, and that's the kind of dedication Sanderson has to winning.  He doesn't get distracted when he has a big match coming up.  He stays focused.  He has tunnel vision.  That tunnel vision is focused on one thing, and that is winning the upcoming match.

Now that his match with Kazama is over, Sanderson's focus has shifted.  It has shifted to what will undoubtedly be the biggest and toughest match of his young career.  It has shifted to his match this Sunday night on Mayhem.  He has a match for one of the most coveted titles in TNT Wrestling, well in the world of wrestling really.  It was previously held by a man who goes by the name of Big Boss.  Boss knew that Sanderson was hot on his heels, and he took off to UWA when he heard the news.  I of course don't blame him.  He saw how dominant Sanderson was during his first few weeks here in TNT Wrestling.  He saw the way Sanderson controlled his opponents in his matches.  He was smart to leave as the Eurasian Champion, rather than inevitably lose the title to James Sanderson, to save the embarrassment against this rookie, who wrestles like a World Champion.

Now that focus.  That focus of James Sanderson like I said has been shifted.  He has a new goal, and that is winning his match against four great wrestlers this Sunday night on Mayhem.  His focus is on the vacant TNT Wrestling Eurasian Championship Title belt.  His four opponents are, the recently returned Bryan Banger, a TNT Wrestling legend Jonny Fly, and the former United States Champion Rollin Thunder.  Sanderson hasn't wrestled in a match like this yet in TNT Wrestling, but it won't make any difference to him.  While his strategy will obviously change, it will be pretty much the same as it's always been.  He'll study tapes for all of these men.  He'll takes notes, and he'll learn as much as he can about all three of these men.  We know, as well as all of you what these men bring to the table.  They all have something a little different that they bring with them.  James Sanderson will be ready for anything and everything they will bring.

Like Bryan Banger.  He has been gone for a while from TNT Wrestling, and has just recently made his return.  Before he left he was considered a real threat in TNT Wrestling.  He was definitely one of the top guys in the world, and there is no way for either myself, or James Sanderson to dispute that.  Ever since his return, he has been able to stay on top of his game.  I have been impressed with him so far since his return.  It's just a shame that things will end abruptly on Sunday.  I have determined that Banger isn't exactly where he was when he took his hiatus.  I've determined that he hasn't quite got back his stride since he left.  He's had an impressive outing, but nothing like I've seen from him before he left.  That should make his easy pickings.  Now this Sunday might be his night.  He might find his stride, and he might be able to give the performance of his life.  That performance would beat any normal man, but it would not beat James Sanderson.  I know Bryan doesn't know anything about Sanderson, and that works even more to his advantage.  We know everything about you Bryan.  And the words you speak, I think they were to try and throw of Sanderson.  Mind games won't work my friend.  They never have and they never will.  Bryan, I have a lot of respect for what you have accomplished so far here in TNT Wrestling, but respect will get you no where when a man of the caliber of James Sanderson steps in the ring with you.  We both respect you Bryan, but that isn't going to stop us from beating you.  We won't let that respect get in the way of victory, of the best effort Sanderson can muster.  Banger, I wish you the best of luck, and I hope that you come into this match and give it your all.  That way there will be no excuses if it's you that Sanderson pins to become the new Eurasian Champion.
 

 

Rollin Thunder.  The former TNT Wrestling United States Champion.  I must admit, two weeks ago you dodged a huge bullet.  You were taken out of your match with Jesse Westcoat.  That is the day that James Sanderson lost his Hardcore Title to him.  I'm sure you remember it well.  I'm certain you would have lost to him on that day Rollin.  Jesse went through a war with Sanderson last week.  That war would have been yours Rollin.  He would have made a fool out of you, and I would have laughed when I saw it.  Then this past week though, you got yourself involved in a match where Sean Segrada was the special guest referee.  Jesse Westcoat finally got his rematch with you Rollin, and neither of you left with the United States Title belt.  You were stripped of your title for attacking Sean Segrada, and so was Jesse Westcoat.  So now this title is vacant as well, from what I can see.  Rollin, I know that is bad luck for you to lose your title, but this week you have an even greater chance to do something special.  You have a chance to win the Eurasian Championship.  This is a title that so many great wrestlers have held, and that many more great wrestlers will get the chance to hold.  This won't be a once in a lifetime shot for you Rollin.  I'm certain that after this match, you'll get many more chances to win this title.  Sanderson will win the match on Sunday, and I'm certain that you will get a chance to meet him one on one in the ring.  I'm sure you'll get the chance to wrestle him for that Eurasian Championship.  So when you lose on Sunday Rollin, don't get down on yourself, because it was going to happen.  Just be glad you were beaten by the better man.  Just hope that when you are eliminated from the match Rollin, that it's Sanderson who eliminates you.

Finally, Jonny Fly, a TNT Wrestling legend.  In fact, I wouldn't just say that you're a legend here in TNT, I'd say that you are a legend in all of professional wrestling.  You are one of the best of all time, and a former World Heavyweight Champion.  That is something that nobody can take away from you Jonny Fly, and neither will your defeat come this Sunday night at Mayhem.  That loss is a loss that nobody will be able to take away from you Fly.  Jonny Fly, you have earned the respect of every wrestler to ever step into the squared circle, and rightfully so.  Unfortunately your time has come.  Your time in the ring has come to an end.  While you might be just as great as you once were, James Sanderson is just that much greater.  He's faster, stronger, quicker, and smarter than you Fly.  He's got more going for him.  His youth, and his experience at such a young age is amazing.  I've taught him everything I know, so he knows it all.  I've been around this industry longer than most people think, and I've seen wrestlers come and go.  I've never seen anyone with the talent that Sanderson possesses.  Fly, it's Sanderson's skill that will lead him to victory against you.  Skill plays an important role in this industry, and Sanderson's skill is one that cannot be matched by anyone, not even the legendary Jonny Fly.  I know you're arrogant Fly, or maybe it's just confidence.  Whatever it is, you will be put in your place, and that confidence will be shattered.

All three of these men have all done something here in TNT Wrestling to earn a shot at the Eurasian Championship.  All three of these men have shown the people in the suits that they have something special, and they will put on one hell of a show.  That's what wrestling is all about isn't it?  Putting on a show for the crowd?  Getting them excited?  Or is it about winning?  I think that both strategies will work.  Banger, Fly, and Rollin are all in this match because they will put on one hell of a show.  Sanderson is in this match because he's going to win.

Better Than You by Metallica begins to play over the speakers once again.  Shmoe drops the microphone on the mat and raises Sanderson's arm in the air.  The put their arms down, climb through the ropes, down the steps and out of the ring.  They walks their way up the ramp as the crowd boos them the whole way up.  They walk through the curtain and backstage.  The music stops and the show continues.
