-[ At last, one of the cornerstones that the mighty Global Fantasy Wrestling Alliance was built around is seen yet again. Nobody has seen him since his brutal bout with Frostie in the World Wrestling Corporation which occurred at Halloween Hangover back in October. After that federation�s final event, The Butcher put his wrestling attire away for the last time, or so he thought. The 38-year old Extreme Legend figured that he would never wrestle again but of course that wasn�t true. He was an addict. His addiction? His profession. Even his lovely wife Nikki couldn�t pry him away from the world of professional wrestling. It was his life and even though he loved her to death, he couldn�t walk away completely like she wanted. Instead, he took it to the next level an opened up his own wrestling school called The Butcher�s Clinic (the name obviously stolen from his group in the famous GFWA No Escape PPV). ]-

-[ Based in San Francisco, the school has many local and a few independent wrestlers attending classes Monday through Friday. Today the students met early this morning to receive their weekly evaluation. Some are working in the ring with each other and some of The Butcher�s hand picked trainers. The Butcher on the other hand has arrived late due to being in court this morning to testify in the case of the man that tried to ruin his life, Sydney Sparks. He sneaks into his office nearly undetected with his suit and tie. He closes the window blinds and then takes a seat at his desk. As he waits for his computer to log him in, he stretches his neck and feels some of the stress finally exit his mind. ]-

-[ He then clicks his way through a few folders and finds the files on his students. He opens each one and re-reads what he put down for each one, making sure he put everything down whether it�s positive or negative. As he prints the finished ones he notices that he didn�t complete one of them fully. Student: Foxx Regor. ]-

-[ The Butcher sighs that his work is not done, stands up from his comfortable chair, and walks over to his office window. He lifts one of the blinds and looks out at his students, looking for Mr. Regor. He finds him alone curling some weights on his perfectly sculpted arms, staring at The Butcher�s office with a determined gaze. The Butcher feels as if the man is reading his mind, so he releases the blind and sits back down. ]-

-[ The Butcher does not know what to put down in his weekly evaluation though and there are a few reasons why. The Butcher�s Clinic would not even exist if it weren�t for Foxx Regor. He personally visited The Butcher a few months ago asking, no, pleading that he train him. Finally, after much convincing Jimmy Cortez gave in and said �yes�. The next thing he knew, he had more students. But none were as impressive as Foxx Regor. He was nearly a natural and The Butcher wondered why the 28-year old man even wanted to be trained. He almost seemed as if he already was. But that wasn�t true because he spent the majority of his 20s in the United States Army as a special ops Ranger. Now The Butcher was stuck evaluating someone that shouldn�t be evaluated by him. He was better than The Butcher. Better than the 22-year veteran. So The Butcher decided to do the only thing he could do. He didn�t print the evaluation, instead, he printed a list of well known federations and contacts he knew. This guy deserved a shot somewhere. ]-

-[ The Butcher then gets up from his chair and walks over to the printer to fetch the papers. He folds each one into four sections, making sure to keep the results private with each student. As he leaves his office and walks towards the locker room with the evaluations in hand, his beautiful wife Nikki sneaks into the facility and then into his office to surprise him. Although The Butcher doesn�t notice her walking in, he does notice that his students stop what they are doing and watch him walk into their locker room. Today�s judgment day. ]-

-[ He places each evaluation inside the respective person�s folder holder which is screwed onto their private locker doors. He then leaves the men�s locker room and heads to the women�s locker room with the only evaluation he has left. He only has one female student and her name is Salina Browne. Out of all his students, he respects Salina the most. She�s had it the toughest out of them all since she is the only female. But her heart and her mind are set on this goal. And although she lacks in size and strength, she�s able to hold her own against the men. He places her evaluation in her folder holder and then returns in the direction of his office once again. ]-

-[ There he finds his playful wife sitting in his chair, Indian-style, playing a game of Solitaire on his computer. He smiles and closes the door behind him, as his students run towards the locker rooms to see what they got. ]-

-[ She smiles after the question and he walks towards her. ]-

-[ He then bends over and kisses her on the lips. ]-

-[ Nikki exits the Solitaire program because she doesn�t have any moves left to make. Then she reaches for her purse and pulls out a sealed envelope. She then hands it to him. ]-

-[ The Butcher looks at the return address and is astonished that it�s from the gfwa OMEGA. He then steps back and takes a seat on the comfortable office sofa. He quickly opens it and reads the letter inside carefully. ]-

-[ The Butcher continues to read the letter to himself and then hands it to her. ]-

-[ As Nikki skims the invitation over, she asks a very important question. ]-

-[ The Butcher looks at her and she looks back He knows she doesn�t want him to go because every time he gets invited to participate in a wrestling event, he ends up renewing his career. Nikki has gotten used to the fact that her husband is around and not out on the road anymore, and the thought of him going back to that world distresses her. ]-

-[ Nikki smiles at the fact that he put her wishes into consideration before just saying he wanted in. The Butcher smiles back and winks at her. Just then there is a slight tapping on the window of the office door. The Butcher turns around and opens the door, finding Foxx Regor standing there holding his �evaluation� up in the air for his teacher to see it. ]-

-[ The Butcher turns around and looks at his wife. She understands that he wants her to leave so he can have a personal talk with his student. ]-

-[ She grabs her purse, kisses her husband on the cheek, and heads for the door. ]-

-[ As she walks out the door, Foxx Regor walks into the office and closes the door. Nikki makes her way towards the exit of the facility and as she reaches for the push bar, the door opens. Standing on the other side of the door are her good friends Cody and Tomorrow Man. They walk in and she stops to chat for a bit. ]-

-[ Cody winks and smiles at Nikki but she doesn�t like the hidden meaning behind it, so she shoots him a dirty look. Cody�s smart ass demeanor gets him into trouble yet again. To make a long story short, Cody and Nikki were an item at one time while her husband, The Butcher, was presumed dead last year. She even became pregnant with his son but the child would die unborn at the hands of one of The Butcher�s arch-enemies, Frostie. ]-

-[ As Nikki walks out the door, Cody checks out her ass. Oh how he misses that ass. Tomorrow Man catches him in the dirty deed and punches Cody in the arm. ]-

-[ As they walk towards The Butcher�s office, Foxx Regor leaves the room with a bit of an attitude. He heads towards the empty ring, jumps in, and starts running back and forth off the ropes to relieve his stress. Both Cody and Tomorrow Man watch the intense man run back and forth, both knowing that he does in fact have a future in the wrestling industry. Meanwhile, The Butcher comes up from behind them and watches too. ]-

-[ Both Cody and Tomorrow Man turn around and see their friend standing behind them. ]-

-[ The Butcher walks past them both and starts walking towards the ring where Regor is pulling on the ropes to stretch his arms. Cody and Tomorrow Man follow closely behind. ]-

-[ The Butcher stops, turns around and looks at the two with a curious look. ]-

-[ The Butcher turns around and he looks into the ring with Cody and Tomorrow Man. Foxx Regor is looking back at them with a grin. He then points at his teacher. ]-

-[ The Butcher laughs and shakes his head. ]-

-[ Foxx looks at Cody with half a grin and half a pissed faced for being called a rookie. ]-

-[ The Butcher looks back at Cody, knowing his friend doesn�t like being called chicken shit. Cody walks past The Butcher and makes his way towards the ring. Foxx Regor backs away into the center of the ring. ]-

-[ Cody looks back at The Butcher. ]-

-[ The Butcher sighs and makes his way into the ring. He takes off his suit jacket and places it in one of the corners and then begins to untie his tie. He lays that on the rope next to his jacket. As he takes his place on the ring apron, he unbuttons his top dress shirt button and waits. Cody signals Tomorrow Man to come over and they both enter the ring at the same time. Regor backs off into the corner where his mentor is. ]-

-[ The Butcher smiles and Regor grins back. Tomorrow Man takes his place on the ring apron while Cody loosens up. Regor walks into the center of the ring and extends his hand. Cody walks over, looks to shake the larger Foxx Regor�s hand but instead fakes him out and goes for the wrap around. Regor tries to fight his way out of it but only finds the way out is to use a drop toe hold. So he does it and brings Cody down to the mat, face first. ]-

-[ Cody rolls away from Regor and gets back to his feet. They tie up this time for a test of strength. Regor, obviously stronger, holds back to ask Cody a question. ]-

-[ Cody takes advantage and knees Regor in the sternum and then grabs a hold of his head to wrench it some. ]-

-[ Regor pushes Cody off of him and towards the ropes and hits a quick and powerful spine buster. Cody lays on the mat sucking wind. ]-

-[ Regor attempts to bring Cody to his feet but Cody gets a quick roll up out of no where. Regor kicks out though. ]-

-[ Cody tags in Tomorrow Man and Tomorrow Man flips himself into the ring. ]-

-[ Tomorrow Man and Regor lock up for a moment until Tomorrow Man Irish whips the upstart towards the ropes. As Foxx comes back, T-Man jumps over him and turns around quickly, making sure to arm drag Regor as he comes back around. Tomorrow Man then gets on top of Foxx Regor and applies a stiff arm bar. As Regor yells out in pain and tries to reach for the ropes, his classmates come out from their locker rooms to see what�s going on. Their faces become filled with excitement as they watch the head of their class and their teacher mix it up with the great tag team. ]-

-[ Regor makes his way towards the ropes and Tomorrow Man lets him go. Regor crawls his way towards The Butcher and makes the tag. As The Butcher makes his way into the ring, he grabs his tie and Tomorrow Man doesn�t notice. ]-

-[ As Tomorrow Man goes to grab The Butcher, Butch wraps the tie around Tomorrow Man�s neck and uses it as an advantage to overtake his friend. The Butcher pulls back some to choke Tomorrow Man. ]-

-[ Tomorrow Man is struggling for air and trying to get to the ropes but he�s out of position. Cody�s about had enough so he hops up on top of his turnbuckle and jumps off, landing a dropkick to the side of The Butcher�s head. As the students cheer joyfully, The Butcher falls out of the ring and onto the floor. Tomorrow Man goes to the mat to get some air. ]-

-[ As The Butcher gets to his feet, Cody runs towards the ropes and launches himself off to land on The Butcher�s head. Butch catches him in midair though and holds him up like he�s going to power bomb him onto the floor. ]-

-[ The Butcher starts to bring Cody down to the floor to power bomb him but Cody reverses it into an ultra rana and tosses The Butcher away, lucha libre style. The students clap again. ]-

-[ Cody gets up off his knees and makes his way towards The Butcher, but he gets blasted from behind by Foxx Regor�s lariat. Regor tosses Cody back into the ring but he finds himself on the floor next after Tomorrow Man slides through the ropes and drop kicks him down. Tomorrow Man keeps a firm grasp of the bottom rope, though, and pulls himself back into ring after he�s taken Regor out of the way. Tomorrow Man gets to his feet while Cody goes back to the outside corner. The Butcher finally gets up and Tomorrow Man provokes him to come back into the ring, which he does. ]-

-[ The Butcher and Tomorrow Man tie up but T-Man is over powered quickly and brought down to the mat. The Butcher lands a stiff elbow drop and then lands another. He then brings Tomorrow Man back to his feet and Irish whips him towards the ropes. As Tomorrow Man comes back, he�s met by a nasty clothesline which nearly turns him inside out. ]-

-[ The Butcher picks up Tomorrow Man and sets him up for his finisher, the Downtown Drop, but Tomorrow Man jumps out of it and tags in Cody before he lands on his feet. Cody springboard�s himself off the top rope, lands on The Butcher�s head and hurricane ranas him. ]-

-[ Tomorrow Man is sitting on the outside apron catching some breathe. ]-

-[ Tomorrow Man shakes his head in disbelief as The Butcher sprawls to his corner to tag in Foxx Regor. Regor comes into the ring and hits a immediate German suplex with a strong bridge. The students get into the match and count, 1...2...but Cody kicks out. ]-

-[ Regor tosses Cody into a corner and starts pummeling him with rights and lefts. He then sets Cody up on the top rope. He starts to climb up and gets ready for a super German suplex but Cody fights back with all his might. Regor clubs him in the back of the head with a nasty shot, stunning Cody momentarily. Long enough to grab Cody and bring him down hard with the German suplex. Cody is in the middle of the ring, stunned, and Foxx Regor takes advantage. He climbs to the top rope and flies in the air, hitting Cody with a perfect flying head butt. Tomorrow Man has had enough and so he runs into the ring. Regor grabs him though, and tosses him out of the ring and onto the floor hard. The Butcher gets off the apron and runs at Tomorrow Man to keep him from interfering again. Regor looks down at the stunned Cody, yells out to let his fellow students to let them know he�s going for his finisher, a Dragon Sleeper. Then out of no where, Cody hops to his feet and hits his finisher, the Cody Kick. The students go crazy as Regor falls to the mat stunned from the devastating maneuver. Cody then goes for the pin. ]-

-[ The students cheer and make their way towards the ring as Tomorrow Man and The Butcher stop their brawling. Cody looks down at Regor and helps him to his feet. He then extends his hand. Regor stands there rubbing his jaw after the super kick, looking at Cody and his extended hand. Finally, he shakes Cody�s hand and hugs him for a moment. ]-

-[ The Butcher and Tomorrow Man enter the ring too and shake Regor�s hand. Then the other students enter the ring to congratulate the head of their class for a good brief match. Cody and Tomorrow Man go back to their corner and watch as the members of The Butcher�s Clinic laugh and have a good time. It felt good for them to get back into the ring and it feels great to pick up a win, even if it�s practicing against a newcomer. They know, though, that they will have their work cut out for them in at Insomnia but they�re confident that they can win nonetheless. Now we�ll have to see if that confidence pays off. ]-
