TNT Wrestling has a long and storied history. It will go down as one of the best and most talented wrestling company's in the history of this great industry. Great talent have always seemed to make their way to TNT Wrestling. The reason being is because whether they came and left over a short time, or whether they made TNT Wrestling their permanent home, it has always offered the best wrestlers from across the globe. The men that have come across TNT Wrestling and have been named TNT Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion is astounding. Men like Joker, Death, Venom, Blader Skum, Nic Totopoulous, Jonny Fly, Karnage, Michael Edwards, Rollin Thunder, Jeremy Cundiff, and the list goes on, are all men that many consider some of the best to ever step into the squared circle. Some of them have made TNT Wrestling their home, and some lived here for a short amount of time. Either way, TNT Wrestling has produced and attracted many great wrestlers.
While the coveted TNT Wresting World Heavyweight Championship has a storied history, so does it's counterpart, the TNT Wrestling Eurasian Championship. While some of the fans might view this title as being the number two title in TNT Wrestling, for the wrestlers it means much more than simply number two. For the young up and coming wrestlers, it is almost like a stepping stone to the World Heavyweight Championship. Many of the young up and coming wrestlers that have won the Eurasian Championship have gone on and become great World Champions. When looking at the list of Eurasian Champions over it's history, it is no wonder so many of the veterans of TNT Wrestling who have not won that title would love to get their hands on it, whether they have won the World Title and reached the epitome of the wrestling industry or not.
Nic Totopoulous has wrestled for a long while now, and has been given the moniker God because of his accomplishments. At first he was the self proclaimed God, but after a while, after he started to prove himself to the rest of the world as being one of the absolute best wrestlers competing, it soon became a nickname he earned. Nic Totopoulous has held the UWA Television, United States two times, and Undisputed Championships. He has also held the TNT Wrestling United States Title, the first man to ever do so, has held the World Heavyweight Championship twice and one of those reigns was for five months. He is also a UWA Hall of Famer. One prize that is left off of that list is the TNT Wrestling Eurasian Championship. It is the one title that would make his legacy as one of the greatest singles competitors in the history of professional wrestling complete. He was injured and nearly forced completely out of competition for the rest of his life. Winning this title will make this comeback a triumph. Winning this title will make everything he has suffered through worth it. Winning this title will make his career complete.

[Nic Totopoulous is seen sitting backstage at a TNT Wrestling non televised live event. He is in the locker room sitting on a bench with his bag beside him. Hanging behind him are his street clothes. He sits there with his wrestling tights on, his boots undone and his knee pads resting on his upper shin. He is leaning forward leaning his arms on his knees as he looks down at the floor in meditation. His long blonde hair is covering his face as it hangs down. He leans back and looks up and sees the cameraman so appropriately carrying a camera that is pointed straight at him. He pushes the hair back behind his ears to clear it from his view.]
There are some things in the wrestling industry that everyone tries to achieve. Some people want to wrestle for the money. Those people don't last very long. Some people want to wrestle to put on the best matches they possibly can and entertain the fans. Those people have a successful successful career and are often very popular, but never reach their full potential. Then there are guys that wrestle simply because they want recognition, and they want to World Titles all across the world. These men usually win many matches, but are never really put in a position to win the World Titles they were in search of because the fans have trouble connecting emotionally with them. Then there are the wrestlers that wrestle for the love of the industry, to put on great matches for the fans, and to win World Titles. These are the men that are the most successful in this industry. These are the men that win the world titles, put on the best matches, and eventually earn the most money because they are making the most money for their respective company. It's these men that have made wrestling what it was, what it is today, and what it will be in the future. These are the guys I have the most respect for, and these are the guys I enjoy wrestling the most. That's why I became a wrestler, so I could wrestle like minded people. I like to think I'm one of those guys that entered the industry to put on the best matches possible, to become the best I could be and win World Titles, and of course to make some money to support my family.
[Totopoulous leans forward and leans on his legs with his elbows]
This long road I have taken, this path I have had to follow, the path I've tried to figure out, has lead me to this point. I have been lead through the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows throughout my career, and this Sunday could possibly be the highest of highs. Winning this Sunday night against a wrestler the quality of Rollin Thunder, and finally winning the Eurasian Championship would probably be the highest of highs in my professional life. After going through what I have, over coming so much adversity and being able to win a title as prestigious as the Eurasian Title would mean almost everything to me. Being able to win after the problems with drugs, after the severe back injury, which was a miracle enough that I came out of it and after a few months finally regained feeling in my legs. If I didn't believe in God or miracles before this, I most certainly do now. This would be such a highlight for my career.
[Totopoulous runs his hand through his hair and it falls to the side of his head on the one side.]
I know that guys like Rollin Thunder bent on making my life unbearable, and people like Rollin look at their match against me as a chance to put their name on the map by putting the mighty Nic Totopoulous out of wrestling forever. I've heard it all. I've heard that I should finally retire, I should walk out before I need to be wheeled out, and funny enough, after every match I get more and more confident with my ability. I am becoming more and more confident that I will be able to continue and have a long and prosperous career without doing serious injury to my back. I will admit that the first match I was a little worried that I would get injured again. Once that match was over, it was such a relief. Whether I won or lost, I just wanted to get out without being injured. Sean Boyle during that match did everything he could to my back, and he targeted my back throughout the entire match, and I managed to get out unscathed. I not only managed to get out unscathed, but I also won the match.
[Totopoulous sighs before he continues.]
This Sunday though, it's the day I've been looking forward too. I know Rollin Thunder has big plans to end my career on Sunday night, and I welcome him to try. Everyone else has tried their best to end it, now I want you to do what you can to end my career. I dare you to try Rollin. I know that while you're busy ending my career, I'll be busy taking your Eurasian Championship. This should be not only a great match, but a very interesting match as well. Rollin I hope you're preparing hard for this match. I'll be running on all cylinders on Sunday. Rollin Thunder, I 'll see you in the ring!
[Totopoulous looks down at his boots and begins to tie them. The camera zooms out as it fades to black as Totopoulous gets ready for his match at this non-televised live event.]
