TD: The past will meet the future as Lyricz goes one on one, mono a mono, with Nic Totopoulous.
KK: God himself.
�Sacrifice� by Trik Turner starts to play, and the fans start to let go with the boos. Lyricz makes his way from the back onto the stage, and the fans double their efforts. Lyricz just smiles cockily as he makes his way down the ramp.
TD: He is one of the most talented wrestlers in this industry, who has been waiting for his break-out match. This could be it.
KK: What about his match with Jonny Fly a while back.
TD: I forgot about that match. In any case, that match didn�t have as much riding on it as this one does.
KK: Lyricz hates Totopoulous with a passion. He has attacked God numerous times, and it all came to a head last week on Mayhem.
On the screen, images of last week start to play.
NT: Lyricz, what you did to me last week, it was one of the worst beatings of my life. You attacked a man that can't fight back. You attacked a man that is a legend and is well respected in this industry. You insulted me Lyricz. I can't believe that someone would stoop as low as you did last week. I know you want to get your hands on me again and give me a beating even worse than the one you gave me last week. Well this is your chance. I want you to try Lyricz. I'm sitting backstage right now, and I'm waiting for you.
Totopoulous grabs a baseball bat from the floor next to where he is sitting.
TD: He can't beat Lyricz in a wheelchair, even if he has a bat! He must be crazy!
NT: Come on Lyricz, this is your big chance. Be a tough guy, beat the legend into submission, and make sure I never come back. I dare you!
Lyricz gets a grin on his face, and begins to walk quickly up the ramp as Totopoulous remains on the screen waiting for Lyricz. Lyricz walks through the curtain and backstage. A moment later Lyricz is seen fall back through the curtain and out onto the stage.
KK: What the hell?
Just then, Totopoulous comes running out with a chair after him as Lyricz is on all fours on the stage.
TD: What is this?!?! Totopoulous can walk?!?!
Totopoulous winds up with the chair and nails Lyricz across the back and Lyricz lies on his back holding his back in pain. Totopoulous takes a microphone out of his pocket.
NT: You want a match with me? You've got it! Next Sunday at April Attack!
KK: I can't believe it!
TD: Nic Totopoulous fooled not only Lyricz but everyone!
Totopoulous raises his arms in the air on top of the ramp as the crowd roars for him.
TD: The whole world was shocked, including Lyricz.
KK: Lyricz pushed, but Totopoulous pushed right back.
TD: And now it comes to a head. Totopoulous is a legend, but he has been out of the ring for a long time. The question on every bodies mind, is if he can keep up with the younger Lyricz.
KK: We�ll just have to wait and see.
TD: I must warn everyone watching that Lyricz has shown that when he loses his temper, things can get out of hand. So, I warn you, this won�t be for the faint of heart.
KK: C�mon. It�s a Pay Per View. Everyone knows what they�re getting into.
TD: You�re right.
KK: Of course I am.
