There have been many feuds over the course of not just TNT Wrestling history, but of professional wrestling's long and storied history. Some of the feuds have been manufactured for the interest of the fans and to draw money. Some of the feuds took place behind the scenes and never made it to the ring for the wrestlers to settle it once and for all. Then there have been some feuds, very few mind you, that have had both of these elements going for them. The feud between Nic Totopoulous and Sean Boyle is one of them.
In what started as a feud to catch the wrestling fans interest, it soon escalated as something more than that. It started with simple bickering backstage between the two men. It soon escalated into a series of physical confrontations that were quickly broken up by surrounding wrestlers, officials and road agents. Both decided it would be best if they went through with their match at April Attack because it was what the TNT Wrestling fans wanted to see. The match went well, and both Nic Totopoulous and Sean Boyle appeared to have made up after what was a terrific match. There was a collective sigh of relief backstage as they shook hands. In one moment everything was great, then in the next everything went wrong. Sean Boyle viciously attacked Nic Totopoulous and beat him down in the middle of the ring without any notice.
Marcel decided it would be best to let both Totopoulous and Boyle cool off and keep them away from each other, both backstage and on screen. He decided the feud would end and the two would have nothing to do with one another. However much to Marcel's dismay, the two managed to continuously find each other backstage. This led to both of them bringing their hatred for each other up on screen, as Marcel had instructed both of them not to do. Their backstage confrontations would turn into full out fights, and the marks from the fights were visible when they would appear on screen. A black eye here, a fat lip there, and everyone knew there was something else going on.
Marcel finally decided it would be best to not try and hold them from each other any more. He knew he could make some money from their hatred, and scheduled a match for the upcoming Pay Per View, May Mutilation. This match isn't just any regular match though. This match is No Holds Barred, it's a Street Fight. This isn't a wrestling match, this is a true fight between two bitter enemies.
[Nic Totopoulous is seen sitting alone in the corner of a ring before a TNT Wrestling non-televised live event. He is wearing a pair of jeans, a pair of black boots, and a Nic Totopoulous T-Shirt. He has his long blonde hair fallen back on his back. His He has his head down and he looks up at the camera in the middle of the ring. The camera slowly zooms in on him as he begins to speak.]
This Sunday night will be one of the greatest nights of my life. I will be able to shut up one of the great young punks of TNT Wrestling today. Sean Boyle is a man that has no respect for the wrestling industry, and the wrestlers before him that make it possible for him to wrestle today. He is making a good chunk of change from professional wrestling, and disrespecting the people that came before him makes me sick. I know where I come from, and I know the people who have paved the way for me to be where I am right now. I sit here as one of the great wrestlers of this generation. I sit here as a multi time World Champion and a Hall of Famer. I'm certainly not one to brag, but that is an accomplishment I am very proud of. However these are accomplishments Sean Boyle spits on every chance he gets. That is a mistake Boyle. All that does it make me more angry, and I am very good at channeling my anger appropriately.
[Totopoulous sits up and straightens his back. He pushes the hair that had fallen over his face back behind his ear.]
Boyle, I think your focus might be lacking from our match though. You said that the match between Jimmy Vetalo and Jeremy Cundiff is more important than ours. I don't think that is the case at all, and neither should you. Your number one priority should be me right now Boyle. Your focus should be your opponent this Sunday, because if it isn't, you will most definitely get hurt. I know you're going to try to hurt me too. I heard what you had to say. I heard you say you were going to do all of those terrible things to me to try and end my career. I heard you say what your plans are. It makes me happy you want to do all of those things to me. It makes me happy because you're getting your hopes up Boyle. You're getting yourself excited and into a frenzy. That way the fall will be so much harder when you finally hit rock bottom. When you step into the ring with me, and you finally realize that you won't be able to conduct your business as you planned, your fall will be so far, and it will hurt so bad. The physical pain I will inflict on you will feel great. However the pain I will inflict on your pride is what will feel the best. The pain I will inflict on your pride is what I look forward to the most. When all else fails as a wrestler, the one thing we all have to fall back on is our pride, but your will be shattered. Your confidence will be shattered. It will be my glorious victory as you will have to start over at square one. Maybe I'll be able to teach you some humility, if not much, at least a little.
[Totopoulous stands up using the ropes as an aid. He picks up his Eurasian Title belt and puts it over his shoulder.]
This might not be our final encounter Boyle, but it will certainly be our best and more physical. You'll feel pain like never before, and I'll probably feel the same. Not only will the winner be the better wrestler, but will also be the Eurasian Champion. The winner will be able to run his mouth after the match. When I beat you though Boyle, I want you to shut your mouth. When I beat you after our first match you continued to run your mouth. I don't want to hear it anymore Boyle. I'm sick and tired of everything coming from you. I'm tired of seeing you, I'm tired of hearing you, and this Sunday I'll make sure I don't have to do either again. Sean Boyle, I'll see you in the ring!
[Nic Totopoulous climbs through the ropes and hops down from the apron. He begins to walk up the ramp with his head held high as the scene fades to black.]
*P.S.* If either Totopoulous or Boyle are smart, they'll each bring a gun.
