Slash is driving around in a RED Dodge Viper. He has a pair of his Oakley's on, and a "Cycle of Sin" T-shirt. He has the CD Player on, with 5 discs in the tray. ACDC is playing right now. The sun is out, with just a few clouds in the sky. The day is neither hot nor cold. The breeze out is a nice refreshing feel. He pulls off of the interstate exit, and into downtown Nashville. He drives a few blocks, then pulls into a parking spot at a restaurant. He shuts off the car, and gets out. He walks into the restaurant, and spots his new partner so to speak, a new announcer to the SW Scene, Erin Blade. The two had met before she was employed by SW while Slash was on Injury Reserve, to make a long story short. He walks over to where she is sitting, and sits down across the booth from him.

Erin: Hey hun, I already ordered. I got you a nice, big, thick, T-bone steak, cooked Medium well, and a bottle of Budweiser.

Slash: Alright, sounds good. I am going to take a leak, I will be right back.

Slash gets up and walks into the restroom. Inside, he walks over to the far urinal, and starts his business. Afterwards he flushes, and goes to the sink to wash his hands. A man walks in wearing a shirt with Lucius Pendragon name on it. Slash looks at him.

Slash: Where the hell do you find a piece of shit shirt like that?

Man: Some guy named Lucius Pendragon gave it to me. Said he was a wrastler. He said if I put it on and went in here, I could keep it, and lord knows I need new shirts. All mine gots holes.

Slash: Well that son of a bitch. He followed me! Listen bud, do you watch Core Wrestling at all?

Man: Well when I am not playin' my fiddle, I try to.

Slash: So, do you recognize me?

Man: Kinda, aren't you that fella who was once a former Platinum Champion and was recently placed on IR?

Slash: (grumbling) Yes, I am Slash Tannon, former Platinum Champion. Listen, I will give you Five new Shirts if you go back out there, and give him back that shirt.

Man: Ok...for five shirts, you gots a deal.

Slash: But...you have to light that one on fire first.

Man: I can do that.

Slash walks out first, and he sits at the table. He tells Erin what happened, and she just shakes her head in disgust.

Erin: Can't you just leave this at the arena? I just want a peaceful night out with my boyfriend. I am going to go talk to Lucius.

Slash: No wait...just watch this.

The man comes out of the restroom with the Pendragon shirt in his hand. He walks over to Lucius, and lights the shirt on fire. Then drops it on Lucius' lap. The man looks back at Slash, who is laughing, and motions for the man to wait outside. Pendragon is hysterical, trying to put the shirt out, but the one waitress comes over and shoots the shirt with a fire extinguisher, getting the foam all over Lucius too. Slash can barely hold his laughter. He tells Erin to hold here for a minute, and he gets up and walks out the door laughing. He walks over to his car, opens the trunk and pulls out 4 T-shirts, two black and two white. One black and one white have on the front 'Are You Ready?.' and on the back 'For Total Impact!' The other two shirts are a white and a black "Sharpest Knife In The Drawer". The 5th shirt Slash pulls out is a black shirt just like the one he has on, a Cycle Of Sin T-shirt.

Man: Thanks Slash, I sure needed new shirts. What is Cycle Of Sin?

Slash: Well, cocknuts, it is our next pay-per-view. Now thanks for the laugh and all, but I am going to go eat my dinner with my girl now.

Slash closes the trunk and walks back inside. Erin is a little mad, but trying to hold in a laugh too. Lucius comes walking out of the restroom clearly pissed off. He walks over to Slash's table.

Lucius: That was low even for you man, I will see you at Cycle Of Sin.

Slash just starts laughing, and Lucius walks away disgusted. Their food arrives, and Slash and Erin try to salvage what is left of their evening. Afterwards, they jump into Slash's Viper and drive off. They get on the interstate and drive only a mile when suddenly a cop is behind them. Slasj looks down and sees he is doing only 70 in the 65 zone, but the cop flicks it's lights on and pulls Slash over.

Slash: Now what? I wasn't speeding.

The cop walks up to the driver side door.

Officer: Sir, can I see your liscense and registration?

Slash hands them to him.

Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?

Slash: No, but I hope you will tell me soon.

Officer: Well I heard that there is some big wrestling thing going on this Sunday, and my son loves wrestling.

Slash: And...what does this have to do with me?

Officer: Well from watching it on TV, I knew that his favorite wrestler drove a car exactly like this one. So I pulled you over to check to see if it was you.

Slash: So let me get this right, you pulled me over because you weren't sure who I was? So I didn't break any laws?

Officer: Correct, I just wanted to know if I could have your autograph for my son?

Slash: (laughing to himself) I can't belive this, I get pulled over so a cop can have my autograph. Well since I don't trust what you want me to autograph, I will sign a picture I have in the trunk, if that is ok with you.

The officer nods, and Slash gets out of the car, walks to the trunk and opens it. The cop is standing beside him, and Slash pulls out a picture and a black sharpie marker, and signs it. Handing it to the officer he also hands him a white 'Greatest Platinum Champion Ever' T-Shirt, that he also signed, and hands the cop a Cycle Of Sin Shirt. Slash closes the trunk and jumps back in the car, replacing his liscense in his wallet and registration back in the glove box. Slash drives off, back to the hotel.

Are You Ready? For TOTAL IMPACT!!!
