Finally, it�s official. All the rumors and speculation can come to rest. The Butcher has returned to his home. Not as Commissioner. Not as a janitor. Hell, not even as a fan. He�s back as a wrestler and it�s all one man�s fault. Fault? Yes, fault. Frostie brought this upon himself. Frostie brought this upon the gfwa OMEGA. Everyone was safe but they aren�t anymore because the Hardcore Legend has arrived. Frostie pushed the buttons and now the buttons are going to push back. Don�t know who The Butcher is or what he�s even capable of? Check out No Escape, the greatest event of all time. Then you�ll actually get a horrible glimpse at the man known as The Butcher.
Destined for glory? It took him 20 years to get the GFWA World Championship and to actually earn the respect of those around him. The Butcher doesn�t care about glory. His 21 years in the business is glory enough for him. He didn�t care for titles. He didn�t care what people thought. He didn�t care what he was going to do to you. He didn�t even care what he was going to look like after going through one of the most fanatical career anyone has ever known. Besides, chicks dig scars.
Many call themselves extreme or hardcore and they usually show it once in awhile. But there is no word or phrase that could be coined together to describe the pure lunacy that�s plagued this man his entire life. So he just settled for Matt McLean�s name: Extreme Legend. It was the only way he could be described because there was no description for him. No man on Earth, past, present or future, has or will ever be as destructive to themselves or their surroundings like The Butcher. And if you did not know that, you will shortly. He will make Frostie understand. He will make every single person on the roster understand that the bar has been raised, Hell is on Earth, and why he is known as The Butcher.
-[ Nikki leans back in her chair with complete awe and excitement for an expression. She cannot comprehend how any of this was even possible. She knew he was keeping his body in shape. She knew his mind was completely there and had never left. But she never expected him to actually do it even though she told him to go back. It appeared that his heart was not in the game and too wrapped up in her love to even pull it off. But she was wrong like everybody else. She takes her eyes off of The Butcher momentarily to look at her diamond wedding ring, reinforcing reality that she is married to him. As he continues to pummel the weight bag with thundering force, she recalls the day they first met. He was doing something similar to what he is doing today, only he was beating the crap out of one of her father�s massive slaughtered beef loins. When she walked into the cold storage room to find him there, she attacked him, thinking he was some thief. As he danced around and dodged each of her fists like a pro boxer, that�s when he started to look familiar to her. She watched him on television when she was a teen and became attracted to his physical and mental toughness. And when he told her his name, she completely and hopelessly fell in love with him. ]-
The Butcher: Hold it still!
Tomorrow Man: I�m trying!
-[ Another blow to the bag by The Butcher and Tomorrow Man releases his hold on it because of acute pain that shot through his wrists. Nevertheless, The Butcher continues to hit the bag as if he was training to fight Lennox Luis for the World Boxing Championship. Cody has remained in his office most of the day after closing The Fire Inside You Gym for the day. He is in deep thought of what he�s going to do next to take his and Nikki�s relationship to the next level, but there is no answer for him. The Butcher continues to pound the hell out of the bag faster and faster, even though he is past the point of exhaustion. ]-
Tomorrow Man: Time for a break!
-[ The Butcher ends his vehemence towards the bag and looks at Tomorrow Man with his look of unwillingness to quit. ]-
The Butcher: I don�t need a break.
Tomorrow Man: Yeah, well the bag does. Look.
-[ Tomorrow Man points at the metal brackets that hold the bag to the wall. They are in the beginning stages of falling to the floor because the nuts and bolts fastening them to the wall cannot take any more abuse. ]-
The Butcher: All right. I�ll take a break.
-[ The Butcher points his fists at Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Man begins to unlace the boxing gloves. As the gloves come off, Nikki kisses him on the cheek. ]-
Nikki: I can�t believe you�re doing this. Are you doing this for me, though?
The Butcher: Yes, and no. Frostie seems to think he can do whatever he wants to as the GHC Champion and I�m going to prove him wrong. He got lucky against Payne but he won�t get lucky against me. He toyed with the two of us too long and I�m going to bring a stop to it this Sunday. We need someone with dignity as our leader. Not to say I have any but I do have more than Frostie. He brings nothing to the gfwa OMEGA. Nothing at all.
Cody: Well, he could snap on you.
-[ The Butcher, Nikki, and Tomorrow Man notice Cody has left his office and is standing in the door way with a serious expression on his face. ]-
Cody: Take it from a guy that has pinned the GHC Champion before. I�ve faced opponents that bring more to the table than Frostie and I know you have as well, Butch. But he�s a freak of nature right now. He has instincts of an animal and should be viewed as one. That is why you have to remain on guard. One blow to the head could send him into a fury of rage and once that happens, he becomes a whole new enemy. His movement is not easily defined in the ring. He does whatever he wants, when he wants, to who ever he wants.
-[ The Butcher wipes the sweat off his forehead and throws the towel aside. He then reaches down to the bottom of his shirt and lifts it over his head, revealing his mutilated and scared tissue from the many years of abuse. He throws his shirt aside and walks over to Cody with his head held high. ]-
The Butcher: Cody, thanks for taking all the fun out of it. I know what I�m in for and this won�t be a simple walk in the park. Frostie possesses little to no talent when he is sane. Just take a look back at when he was a Gold Digger. He accomplished nothing. But now he�s a madman on the verge of crossing the line of insanity and there won�t be any turning back. I want to make him pissed off. I want to make him snap. I want him to come at me with all the fury and rage he possesses. That�s the whole point of this, isn�t it? To see who the better man is whether he be sane or insane. How long have you known me, Cody?
Cody: Couple years. Why?
The Butcher: That�s what I thought. You should know by now that I�m more insane that Frostie. Look at all the matches in my career and tell me that I�m not more insane that Frostie. Hell, take a look at what I went through at No Escape and still came out on top! I�m just like you guys. I don�t go away�well, not easily. Frostie is going to have to reach deep down inside of himself to beat me Sunday. He�s going to have to survive one of the most brutal matches in wrestling history against one of the sickest men to ever grace the ring. I have a very bad feeling about this match though.
Nikki: You do?
The Butcher: It occurred to me last night as I thought about the match. I don�t know what it is but something isn�t sitting right with me. I feel as if I�m going to cross the line or something. Frostie is right about one thing, and that this match is for pride and leadership. But it is also for one other thing. It�s about survival. Win or lose, you have to survive. The match in itself is an opponent with career threatening obstacles to overcome. And I will overcome them. But you all must promise me one thing.
Tomorrow Man: What�s that?
The Butcher: No matter what happens in this match, I don�t want any of your help. I have to do this on my own and I don�t want any of you to become injured by accident. This isn�t your war to fight. Understand?
-[ Cody and Tomorrow Man nod but Nikki hesitates to respond. The Butcher looks at her. ]-
The Butcher: Understand?
-[ Nikki just gives him a slow nod but really doesn�t want to do what he says. She fears for what might happen to him but giving him an answer is better than him asking over and over again. The scene fades out. ]-
