[Kick Start My Heart by Motley Crue blasts over the speakers. The sold out TNT Wrestling audience jumps to their feet as Nic Totopoulous steps out from behind the curtain and on to the front stage. He stops for a moment and looks out at the thousands of fans in attendance. He then proceeds to walk down the ramp toward the ring. He is wearing his wrestling gear, a Nic Totopoulous T-shirt and has his long blonde hair tied back in a pony tail. He walks up the steps, climbs through the ropes and into the ring. He walks across the ring to the ring announcer who hands him the microphone. The ring announcer exits the ring as Totopoulous walks to the middle of the ring. The music stops and the cheering begins to die down as Totopoulous puts the microphone to his mouth as he begins to address the fans in attendance.]
Last Sunday night at Mayhem I wrestled a self-proclaimed legend. I'm not disputing that claim, because some day Nicky Mills, you might just end up being a legend. As for right now though, I'm afraid not. It's alright though Mills, because I enjoyed the match, I enjoyed the challenge, and you certainly were a challenge. The fire in your eyes was something to behold, and I couldn't really tell how badly you wanted to win that match until you stood across the ring from me, moments from the start of the match, and you looked straight into my eyes. At that moment I knew that this match was life or death for Nicky Mills. I could tell that you were looking forward to this day, and you wanted to prove that your claim of being a legend was indeed correct. I don't like to toot my own horn, but a victory over myself would have really helped to put Nicky Mills on the map. That's not to say Nicky Mills isn't on the map. He's accomplished more than most wrestlers do in their careers. But a big victory like that would have meant a lot. I guess things might have worked out for the best for Nicky though with his shot at being the number one contender for the World Title. I wish him the best of luck. He's a good kid that is kind of steering himself in the wrong direction. What his problem with TNT Wrestling is, I don't know. All I know is Nicky Mills knows how to get it done in the ring, and his match with Krisus, who is also a great wrestler, the two of them will teat the house down.
[Totopoulous takes a few paces forward and looks down at his feet. He then looks back up at the audience as he continues.]
This brings me to another topic. This brings me to Lyricz. Yes, I guess I did cost him the TNT Wrestling Eurasian Championship. Both he and Rollin Thunder were putting on a great match, and it ended a little prematurely. There is no guarantee that had I not interfered that Lyricz would have certainly won the match. He held no significant advantage over Rollin Thunder at that point of time in the match. The match was still in it's early stages, and could have still gone either way. Why did I come down to the ring to interrupt the match? Lyricz made a few remarks about my family, which I tried my best to shrug off. Then he proceeded to insult me, and he slapped me in the face. I have taken verbal abuse in the past, I can usually shrug it off and let it go. I have a thick skin. However when he insults not only me and my family, but he also physically assaults me, I tend to lose my cool. My automatic reaction would have been to shove my fist down his throat, but fortunately for him a couple of road agents were there to hold me back. Lyricz went out for his match a moment later, and the road agents were there to hold me back as I wanted to chase him down the ramp. I managed to convince the road agents I wasn't about to do anything stupid, then I did something stupid. I totally lost it, ran down to the ring and attacked Lyricz. This is something I'm not proud of, and I'm usually better at staying calm. Lyricz seems to know how to get under my skin though. It's something that he is very good at, and is something that I will have to learn to take. I can't keep exploding like that, no matter how much better it makes me feel. I need to channel that anger into my next match against him, and that is what I'm going to do. I'm challenging you Lyricz to a match. I don't care where, I don't care when. I don't simply want your average singles match either. I want a match with no rules. I want a match where I can physically dissect you and give you the punishment you deserve. I want a match where anything goes, and the only way to win is by pin fall or submission in the centre of the ring. That way after I've beaten you to a bloody pulp, I can pin you in the centre of the ring, 1, 2, 3, for the whole world to see. I hope you accept the challenge, and I think you will.
[The crowd begins to cheer as they want to see a no rules match between Nic Totopoulous and Lyricz as well. They begin to die down and Totopoulous continues.]
Allow me to move on to current matters. This Sunday night I compete for a title I have never wrestled for in my entire career. I wrestle for a title that has eluded me my entire life. While I have accomplished great things during my wrestling career, not once have I ever won the Eurasian Championship. This is a tremendous opportunity for me. I know a lot of people probably don't think I need to win this title for me to be a great wrestler, and truthfully I don't. I know what I am capable of. The problem is that most people look at what I have done in the past, and they think that my time has come and gone. I want to prove to everyone that not only was I a great wrestler, but I am still a great wrestler. If I beat Rollin Thunder this Sunday night on Mayhem, I'll know that I am still a great wrestler, and everyone else will also know I am a great wrestler. Rollin Thunder is a very accomplished wrestler, and not a man to be taken lightly. He is a former World Champion here in TNT Wrestling, and I know I've got to come out for this match with everything I've got. This is a match that can either make or break this Nic Totopoulous comeback. From the way Rollin Thunder expressed himself, I think it's safe to assume that he would like to end this comeback. When I say end, I don't mean momentarily stall it, I mean end it for good. He talked about breaking my back again, and he talked about sending me back to the hospital. I don't doubt for a second that he will be out there to break my back, and to finish me off once and for all. All I can say is that I hope he doesn't. I'm not going to let him doing, but anything can happen in the ring, and I don't doubt that if the opportunity arises for Rollin Thunder, I'll be back in that wheelchair. That's the chance I'm going to have to take. Rollin Thunder, I'll see you in the ring!
[Kick Start My Heart by Motley Crue hits the speakers once again. The crowd begins to cheer again as Nic Totopoulous drops the microphone. He walks over to the ropes, climbs through and out of the ring. He makes his way back up the ramp, through the curtain and backstage. The music stops and the show continues.]
