[Nic Totopoulous is seen walking through a tunnel.  He is wearing a pair of silver pants and a sliver shirt.  He has his his long blonde hair down.  He reaches the end of the tunnel and walks out into the light.  The camera zooms out and we now see that he is in an empty football field.  He walks over the track surrounding the field, and then onto the field itself.  He begins to speak.]

You know, I've been doing a lot of pondering.  I've been thinking about my life, and I've been thinking about what it means to be a professional wrestler.  Being a pro wrestler was a dream of mine since I was a child.  I grew up watching such greats as Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart.  I grew up wanting to be just like them when I grew up.  I wanted to be able to go down to the ring and hear the roar of the crowd.  I wanted to climb into the squared circle and stand across from the best that wrestling industry has to offer.  I wanted to walk down the ramp and have the World Heavyweight Championship Title belt wrapped around my waist.  I wanted to be able to one day say that I am the best at what I do.  That was my childhood dream.  Well for some people dreams come true.  For me, I'm living my dream.  I have been in the ring with the best wrestlers in the world.  I have walked down to the ring carrying the World Championship belt.  I am able to say that I am the best in the world.  Although over the past few months, I have seen a lot of new faces enter the wrestling industry.  All of these men and women are stronger, faster and bigger than I have ever seen them.  When I see so many great talents, I wonder if I really am the best in the world anymore.  I wonder if this new generation of wrestler might possibly have a leg up on me right now.  I have been in the business for what seems like a long time now, and I wonder if my time has past.

Just last week in my match with Lo-Lander.  I thought that I would have no trouble with him.  I saw him wrestle against wrestlers that I would have been able to wipe the floor with.  He was only able to squeak out victories against them.  Then just last week he beat me in the middle of the ring.  While he did get a little help from White Thunder and The Unforgettables, I still feel I should have beaten him.  I feel that I should have beaten him so quickly that before White Thunder would have had the chance to interfere.  With that upset last Sunday, I wonder if my time has passed on being the best wrestler there is.  I start to wonder if my time on top has just about come to an end, and I wonder if the demise of Terror Xtreme was the climax of my career.  Was that the height of my career?  I would certainly hope not.  The night I first won the TNT World Title was better than the day Terror Xtreme left.  My first ever wrestling match my in NCW was better than the end of Terror Xtreme in TNT Wrestling.

While wrestlers have been getting a lot better and over the last few months, I feel that I can still compete with them.  While I might be disappointed about my loss against Lo-Lander, he did have someone from outside hit me in the head with a steel chair.  It wasn't because he is better than me that he won, it's because I left my guard down.  And like I said before, my guard will be up at all times.  That's why I am walking through this open field today.  If someone were to try and attack, I have all the angles covered.  Maybe I should start being a little proactive in my safety rather than passive.  Maybe I should try and stop the problem before it even starts.  Instead of letting someone find me to hurt me, maybe I should just find them and get it over with while I'm ready.  There are so many things in my career to think about.  I need to think about how well I'm wrestling, where I'm focused, and whether or not I have what it takes anymore.  I think that this Sunday against an up and comer like White Thunder, it will be a great test.
 

 

White Thunder, you are right about a lot of things.  The Unforgettable Power is getting stronger every day.  It seems to me as if as that force gets stronger, the rest of TNT Wrestling seems a little weaker and weaker every week.  Last week Sean Segrada beat Gravedigger for the Eurasian Championship.  Now whether or not Sean cheated or not, he is now the holder of that belt.  He is now the man that people have to beat.  Sean ever since coming to TNT has made tremendous leaps and strides to become the great wrestler that he is.  I would have never thought that he would be this good this fast.  I don't think many people would have.  He has definitely taken TNT by storm, and I don't expect him to stop any time soon.  Especially when he has three people like White Thunder, Lo-Lander and Fatone watching his back.  When a wrestler has backup the odds automatically change, and usually in his or her favour.

Then of course as I mentioned before there is Lo-Lander who received the biggest victory in his entire career.  He beat me in the middle of the ring.  Now while there might have been outside interference, I can't use that as an excuse.  I have to face up to what happened, and I have to be a man about it.  I have to accept the fact that last Sunday night Lo-Lander was the better competitor.  You see professional wrestling isn't about being a good sport, or by playing by the rules.  Pro wrestling is all about winning.  Now matter how you do it, a win is a win.  When the historians look back in time they won't see that I was hit in the head with a chair during the match.  All they will see is a "W" beside Lo-Lander's name, and an "L" beside my name.  There won't be any asterisks next to the match, or any explanations.  It will say pinfall victory, and that is it.  You'd think I would have learned something like that by now.  Especially the way I have gone about getting wins in the past.  I used to know all the ways to win matches, no matter how badly the odds were stacked against me.  Ever since I came back to TNT though, I've been lucky to win matches.  Not because I'm worse than the opponent, but because I wrestled clean matches.  I wrestled matches that my mother and father would have been proud of because I didn't cheat to save my skin.  Well last week I was burned, and I don't plan on letting that happen again.

Then there is White Thunder.  He made an example out of his opponent last week.  He went out there and got the job done the way I expected, and at the time hoped that he would.  I don't want to take anything away from him.  He has worked hard ever since coming to TNT, and he deserves everything he has gotten.  He wants a title shot, but he doesn't deserve it yet.  So instead he is getting a non-title match against me.  That I think he deserves.  He gets to show what he can do against a real competitor in the ring.  This won't be a walk in the pask like so many of his other matches have been.  Like I just said, I know what it takes to get a win, and I'm going to start using any and all methods to achieve victory, and to keep my belt.  This Sunday night against White Thunder, I know what I have to do.  I have been formulating a plan that will lead to a successful night for Nic Totopoulous.

Lo-Lander, White Thunder says that you have been keeping my belt in good shape, will that's what I like to hear.  I like to hear that while you have disrespected me by taking that belt away from me, you are not disrespecting the belt itself.  Lo-Lander, I know why you think that you deserve my title.  I know why you think that you should be champion.  You beat me.  You beat the World Champion.  The problem is that when the title is on the line, I am a different person in the ring.  When the title is on the line I worry more.  I worry more about losing because I actually have something to lose.  Sure losing last Sunday put a dent in my pride.  But it means so much more to be called the World Heayweight Champion.  It means so much more to have that attached to you wherever you go.  Wherever I go, people associate me with champion, because that's what I am.  That is a great feeling.  It's a great feeling that people associate champion with me.  But let's get one thing straight here.  You can beat me in all the non-title matches you want.  The only thing that is going to matter is whether or not I hold that title when it's all said and done.  All that's going to matter is whether or not I am the World Champion.  Right now Lo-Lander, I am.

Unforgettable Power, the four of you are all good wrestlers.  The four of you are all good individual wrestlers.  When put together you might be the greatest force TNT Wrestling has ever seen.  The four of you have your club house where you can go and play.  You're making a little pool for yourselves so you can have a good time in the water.  This is all great, and I'm very impressed that you guys are getting sponsors or something to pay for all of that crap.  But I just want to see the looks on all your faces when he pulls the plug on your little operation there.  I can't wait to see how your sponsors react after the Pay Per View when I'm still the champion.  I'm sure you've promised them that the Championship is as good as yours.  Well I'm sorry ladies, but you have a couple of weeks to get ready for the fight of your lives.  And Lo-Lander, I hope so bad that it is you in that match.  I hope you are ready to suffer the same fates that Jason Jet and Kevin Cosmos did when they stole my belts.  You might think you deserve that belt, but come your eventual title shot, you most definitely won't.
