[The cameraman is in a house. He walks around the corner into a living room. The television is on, and it appears to be wrestling on the television. The cameraman turns the camera and Nic Totopoulous is seen lying on the couch watching. He is wearing a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. The camera turns a focuses on the TNT Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship Title belt resting on the mantle over top of the fireplace. The camera turns around to focus on the wrestling match. It is a match that took place many years ago in Japan. It was a match between NWA World Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz, and challenger, Japanese star Rikidozan. Then a narrator's voice can be heard while the cameraman films the action on the television screen.]

These two men, Lou Thesz and Rikidozan, had many battles for the NWA World Championship. Every single time these two locked up with that title on the line, it was a best two out of three falls match, and a one hour time limit. That's the way all the World title matches took place in the early days in professional wrestling. This is the way all the great, legendary wrestlers made their mark. Wrestler's like the Brisco's, the Funk's, Lou Thesz, Rikidozan, Stan Hansen, Ray Stevens, and the list goes on and on. All of these men wrestled in classics best two out of three fall marathon matches for the NWA World Title. They were all able to bring the fans off their seats, whether live or sitting at home. They were all able to wrestle in those hour long matches, and were able to bring life to the wrestling ring. Their ring psychology was tremendous, their mat wrestling skills were some of the best, and they knew how to get the crowd excited. They are legends because they could draw a crowd and wrestle a great match, in the best two out of three format.

[The scene now changes and it shows Nic Totopoulous sitting at a desk. He is in his room. The bed is sitting behind him. His drapes are open and the desk sits right in front of the window. The light shines in on the sheet of paper resting on the desk. Totopoulous puts the pen in his hand to the page and he begins to write. The narrator's voice begins once again.]

This Sunday night, TNT Wrestling will be venturing into the past. They will be looking to the past as a way to decide who is the true TNT Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion. This Sunday night at March Warfare, TNT Wrestling will pit the number one contender, White Thunder, against the current World Champion, Nic Totopoulous. Over the past month White Thunder has shocked and amazed wrestling fans around the globe. This past month White Thunder has jumped up out of no where and has placed himself in position to be the number one contender to be the World Champion of TNT Wrestling. He had a few crucial victories at the beginning of February to get his initial notice. Then he decided to turn his back on his friend Nic Totopoulous. It appeared that he was going to help Totopoulous to gain a victory over Lo-Lander. Instead he turned his back on Totopoulous and hit him in the head with a steel chair. This cost Totopoulous a victory.

Then White Thunder went on and insulted Nic Totopoulous for the next week. He claimed that he was better than Nic Totopoulous all of that week, and he went out and proved it by defeating Nic Totopoulous the next week in a non-title match. While the match may not have been the most rule abiding match, White Thunder did get the job done. White Thunder claims that he should be the World Champion right now. He will have his chance come this Sunday night when the gold is on the line. He will get his chance to prove if he can get it done when the biggest prize in pro wrestling is on the line, the TNT Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship.

[The next scene shows Nic Totopoulous in a car and he is driving through the streets. He has a winter jacket on and a black duffel bag in the back seat. His long blonde hair is down as the camera gets a good look on the inside of his Camero.]

Then of course there is the Champion, Nic Totopoulous. Nic Totopoulous won the title back in November of 2002. He beat Brian Kraemer in a ladder match for the World Title. Since then he has competed against the best that TNT Wrestling has had to offer, and he has won. He has beaten guys like Bucky, Big Boss, Cappy, Nightmare, Brian Kraemer, and the list goes on. For the past five months Nic Totopoulous has unquestionably been the best wrestler in the world. Then in recent weeks, a group called The Unforgettable Power has come along and given Totopoulous a rough time. When Lo-Lander was a member, he got a victory over the champ. Totopoulous' challenger on Sunday night, White Thunder has gotten a victory over him. While he has been the best for the past five months, but his time on top might be about to reach it's end.

Nic Totopoulous has been struggling for certain over the past few weeks.  He has seemingly reached cross-roads in his career.  He is no longer certain whether he can compete the way he wants to.  He is no longer certain where he wants to go with his career.  He has wrestled with some of the best in the business, and has changed in some of the most talented lockerrooms of all time.  He has lived his dream, and now the dream for Nic Totopoulous might be over.  He might have another dream he hopes to fullfil.  What those are, no one knows.  All anyone can say for certain, is that this isn't the same Nic Totopoulous he was five months ago.  All the fans want is the old Nic Totopoulous back, they want the man that had the drive to be the best.  Whether or not he will ever be back is unknown.  Whether or not the old brash, arrogant, confident Nic Totopoulous, or God if you will, will ever be back, is the question.

[The scene fades and move into a building showing Nic Totopoulous talking with one of the agents.  It is clearly backstage at a TNT Wrestling show.  Then the voice begins again.]
 


 

The question now is whether or not either of these men can live up to what they claim to be.  Both of these men claim to be the best in the world.  Both of these men claim that they should be the World Champions.  Both of these men claim to be the best.  Both of these men will get their chance this Sunday night to prove themselves to the world.

[The narrator stops and we listen in to the conversation Nic Totopoulous is having with the agent.]

Agent - Listen Nic.  I can't have you talking about whether you want to wrestle or not to the fans all right?  We are trying to get as many viewers as possible.  No one wants to cheer for someone that doesn't even want to be a wrestler.

Totopoulous - I know all right.  I just think thee fans should know exactly how I feel.  And I do want to compete.  I do want to be the best.  The problem is that I don't have the same drive I once did.  I really want to go out there to compete.  I really want to go out there and hear the roar of the crowd.  If there is one thing I really want, that is to continue to hear the crowd for the rest of my life.  It's the greatest feeling, and you get the greatest rush.

Well listen, you've got to straighten up all right.  Gravedigger is the commissioner now.  And I know you two are friends, but he is taking a hard line with everyone.  Now I know he gave you your belt back, but the way he treated you on Mayhem, I'm not so sure he is very impressed with the way you are acting or wrestling right now.

I know all about Gravedigger.  I saw the way he looked at me all right?  I know that isn't very impressed with me right now.  You know what though?  I'm not here to to impress him, I'm here to impress the fans, and to win, that's what I'm here for.

Well maybe it's time someone like Digger lit a fire up your ass.  You haven't been yourself lately, and I expect better from you all right?  I expect the best, because that's what you can be.  So on Sunday I expect, not a good match, but a great match.  I don't expect you to lose your title to White Thunder, I expect you to put on the performance of a life time, and I expect you to retain that title.

Maybe I do need a fire lit under my butt, and maybe I'll be thanking Digger one day for it, but right now, I'm not happy, in fact I'm pissed.  You know, I've gotta go out to the ring all right?  I'll see you later.

Later Nic, take it easy.

[Nic Totopoulous turns to walk away, the camera follows him down the hall, then the scene fades the match between Totopoulous and White Thunder last Sunday night.
 


 

The screen shows Nic and White Thunder battling it out, and then White Thunder coming out on top in the match.  The screen pauses with Nic Totopoulous raises his arms in the air as he stands above Totopoulous.  The narrator begins again.]

Nic Totopoulous and White Thunder will have a battle like no other this Sunday night.  Who will come out on top?  Stay tuned for March Warfare to find out what is going to happen.

[The video of Totopoulous and White Thunder continues as the scene fades.]
