[Kick Start my Heart by Motley Crue begins to play over the speakers.  Just as the song warms up...BANG!...  pyrotechnics go off in front of the stage.  Then the song gets going, and Nic Totopoulous comes out from behind the curtain and onto the stage.  He walks out to the top of the ramp and puts his arms out.  The crowd boos as Totopoulous has a big grin on his face.  Then he looks out into the crowd and notices the negative reaction.  His grin turns into a look of surprise as he proceeds to walk down the ramp toward the ring.
 

 

He walks around the ring trying to gives the fans high fives.  All the fans do is boo them and spit on him.  He walks over to the ring announcer and takes the microphone from him.  He climbs up the steps, through the ropes and into the ring.  He walks to the middle of the ring.  The music stops and he puts the microphone to his mouth.  The crowd starts to quiet down and he begins to address the sold out TNT Wrestling audience.]

What a wonderful day it is outside today.  I was having such a great day.  I went for a walk outside.  It was nice and sunny by the beach, and there weren't too many people around.  It was a nice quiet afternoon.  It was warm out, I could wear my shorts and sandals for the first time all year.  It was a great feeling.  I got into the arena, and everyone was nice to me today.  No one came and bothered me about anything.  They simply asked if I was ready to go out to the ring, and that's what I did.  I came out to the ring, and all of a sudden, my day just hasn't been as nice.  I wanted to come down to the ring to the standing ovation that I deserve.  I thought that all of my fans would be by my side as I walked down the isle coming to the ring.  I thought the fans would be by my side as I got ready for my biggest battle.  As I prepared for an almost certain match with Michael Edwards.  I thought that all of my Nic Totopoulous fans would want to cheer, would want to encourage me, would want me to be the next, and two time TNT Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion.  Then I come down to the ring, and I find all of my fans are booing me.  Why are you booing?  I don't understand.  I have done nothing but be loyal to all of you ever since TNT Wrestling resurfaced.  I have done nothing but praise you for all of the help you have given me.  I have done nothing but thank you for sticking with me every minute, every moment, every step of the way.  During my time at the time I thanked you, during my time trying to reach the top once again, I thanked you for staying by my side.  This is how you thank me?  With a chorus of boos?  I don't understand.

But please, whatever you do, don't tell me it's because of Michael Edwards.  Please don't tell me it's because of Sarah Strategias.  That is the last thing I want to hear.  I did it because it was the only way I was going to be able to get what I rightfully deserve.  It was the only way I would be able to get a shot at the World Title.  When I first lost that title to White Thunder, there was a clause in my contract, that I would be the first person to get a shot at his title.  Who was the first person to ge that title shot?  Michael Edwards.  Now can someone please explain to me how that is fair?  I fail to understand how that is fair.  It was in the contract that I would be the first contender for that title.  I would be the first person get a title shot.  I not only didn't get that title shot, but I was unable to avenge my loss against White Thunder.  As far as I'm concerned, I was the one getting screwed, and no one seemed to care but me.  I did what I had to do to get what I deserve.  Some people think that the kidnapping of Sarah is crewel, that it's not very nice.  Well let me get one thing straight.  I didn't even kidnap her, so stop blaming me.  I might have arranged the kidnapping, but if you are going to blame someone, blame Torah.  I did it so justice would be served.  Besides, Sarah isn't hurt.  She just sat around and did nothing.  Never did either of us hurt Sarah.  Never did either of us abuse Sarah.  That wasn't the point.  If anything, just was just bored for a few weeks.  So please don't worry about her, she is fine.

But I've been watching the monitors recently, and I've seen that Michael Edwards is sitting around, worrying.  So Mike, stop worrying.  I know you've been worried about Sarah, but don't.  Don't worry about anything.  She will tell you herself that she is okay.  Now Mike, I know that you wanted to have this match.  When I challenged you to the match, you accepted.  You agreed with me that we would be able to do great business.  You agreed with me that it would be great media coverage for TNT Wrestling.  You agreed that the pay day would be wonderful.  So why not do it?  Marcel, I am asking you please, let's do this.  Like Mike said, we can give the proceeds to charities.  I will gladly give my share to charity, a charity for colon cancer in fact.  I have a friend of mine who is susceptible for colon cancer.  I would love to help him and his family by donating what I can.  It would be a great event, and it would generate a lot of money for TNT Wrestling as well if it was on Pay Per View.  I can't find a downside to this.  So Marcel, please let this match happen.  I have worked so hard to get this match.  I have earned this match.  This match should happen.
 

 

Before I can think about a match with Michael Edwards though, I have to concentrate on Lo-Lander this Sunday night.  I know that a few weeks ago he was able to get a fluke win over me.  But like I said, it was a fluke win.  He had help, and it was a fluke.  It will certainly not happen again, I promise.  But Lo-Lander, since when have you been so noble?  Taking the side of the innocent Michael  Edwards?  I do not understand.  Why would you join sides with him?  Why?  I thought you would be proud of my actions.  I thought you would be proud of the fact that I did what I had to do to get what I want.  You wanted a win over me, so you cheated.  I wanted a match with Mike, so I had his girlfriend kidnapped.  Hopefully it will lead to Edwards giving me my title match.  Not only that, but he has been so arrogant, so cocky.  I asked if I could help him find his girlfriend.  He said no.  He came into this company, and right away he was putting me down.  It may have been subtle, but I noticed.  I tried to befriend him, but he would have nothing of it.  He rejected me right away.  I even helped him out of a few sticky situations, he would have nothing of it.  He didn't want to be friends.  I don't want to take away from his skills, he is a great wrestler.  The fact is that he is nothing but a jerk.  He is an arrogant, cocky, jerk.  That's one of the reasons I did what I did, to teach him a lesson.  I think it's a lesson learned too.

But Lo-Lander, please.  You think there is a new generation?  Please.  The new generation is here to stop me?  Please.  No one can stop me Lo-Lander, no one.  Not you, not Kage, not Big Boss, not anyone.  You think that Michael Edwards is part of a new generation?  He has been around longer than I have.  He has been World Champion more times than I have, and he has hogged the spotlight longer than I have.  I'm not simply an old veteran.  I am a man with dignity, a man with skill, and a man with the ability, charisma, and talent to be the World Champion.  So Lo-Lander, you won't beat me, because you can't beat me.  It's that simple.

But you fans, I can understand why the boys in the back don't like me.  It's because they're gealous.  They are gealous of my skill and desire to be the best.  They are gealous of the great things I have accomplished in my life.  But you fans, I don't understand why you would boo me?  I've stood with you every step of the way.  I've won the World Title for you.  Look at my entrance.  The music, the pyrotechnics, everything that a champion should have.  It's all to entertain you, the loyal fans of wrestling.  But no, you boo my music, you boo my pyrotechnics, and you boo me.  Well fans, I will win you all back, I promise.  I will win back my World Title, and you will have no choice but to cheer me.  So fans, after I beat Lo-Lander on Sunday, I want you to cheer.  Then when I beat Michael Edwards for the World Title, I want you to cheer louder.  Because I love you fans, and I'm not going to give up on you yet.

[Nic Totopoulous drops the microphone as Kick Start my Heart begins to play once again.  The crowd gives him a mixed reaction, more negative than positive though.  He climbs though the ropes, walks down the steps and up the ramp.  He walks through the curtain and backstage.  The music stops and the show continues.]
