(The standard FCTV intro runs, signaling the start of another edition of the long-running wrestling show. As the intro ends, we cut to a shot of the FCW Arena, full of the FCW faithful. After panning the crowd, we cut to a shot of the announce table.)
Kevin Cole: Full Contact TV is on the air! We are just one week removed from Cruel and Unusual 2003! It was truly a history making evening!
Nik Cain: It made history, to be sure. It also took a toll on our roster as you will see a number of names absent from tonight’s line up.
Kevin Cole: But we’ve still got plenty of great match ups scheduled, including a main event that will see Chris Zion challenge The Messenger for the Television Title, as well as an I Quit match between Scourge and Oblivion and a falls count anywhere match between The Paladin and Jay Reno! But we’ll get the show started with Onslaught and Jeffrey Ward in a Bed of Nails match!
Nik Cain: This is a match that got bumped off of the Cruel and Unusual card due to time constraints. So its only fitting we get to it now.
This contest is a no-DQ-no-countout-Bed of Nails match scheduled for one fall.

Nik Cain: Oh shut up.
(“Smoke on the Water” begins to play, signaling the arrival of FCW owner/president James Crawford. He has a sizeable grin on his face as he makes his way to the ring. Once inside, he addresses the diehard crowd.)
James Crawford: So Cruel and Unusual 2003 has come and gone.
(The crowd pops big at the mere mention of the already infamous event. Crawford chuckles a little at just how enthusiastic these fans are before he continues.)
James Crawford: Thank you. I appreciate it and I assure you that the boys in the back appreciate it. As much as any of us, you make FCW what it is. But there are those who say that FCW “went too far” this time.
(The crowd responds to this suggestion with a chorus of boos.)
James Crawford: I know. I know. The fact is that they don’t know what they are talking about. Besides, the only way to know where the line is...is to cross it.
(The crowd starts to
cheer again but gets cut off. A mysterious sounding music plays as a hooded man
appears on FCW-tron.)
Man: (His voice is an obvious voice-over) Oh how quaint. You can come out here
and talk about what a success your pay per view was. Fantastic. You come out
here and talk about yourself, the “boys”, and all these fans. But you can't come
out here and talk about how you have screwed me over, can you? What about me
Creepy? What about me?
James Crawford: You know I’d me more than happy to talk about you if I knew...or
cared who you were.
Man: Oh, you know who I am. I've been here the whole time.
James: How about you stop playing your silly game and just tell me who you are.
I mean it's not 1999 anymore, "Masked Man”.
Man: Actually, I'm a “hooded man”. But that’s beside the point. Clue #1 my name
has 5 letters. Clue #2 it starts with an S. And, here, maybe this will help you
to figure it out.
(The man in the hood holds up a photograph of a much younger James Crawford with
a young boy. Most fans don’t know it, but its actually Crawford with his young
nephew Ben Crawford, better known today as Oblivion. The man in the hood holds
up a lit cigarette in his other hand and proceeds to use it to burn holes in the
picture, first where the boy who would become Oblivion’s face is and then where
Crawford’s face is. Still holding the picture, now with both heads burned out,
the man says one last thing.)
Man: I'll be seeing you Crawford.
(The screen goes black and a confused Crawford is left to walk back up the ramp wondering what the hell is going on.)
Kevin Cole: What, or who, was that?
Nik Cain: I can’t be sure, though I have a couple good guesses. But if it’s either of the guys I think it is, their ego won’t allow it to remain secret for too long.
Kevin Cole: Well, let’s get on with the show. Tag team action is up next as the team of Damien Escar and Derrick Moore take on the Wrecking Crew!
Nik Cain: Monarch was in a pretty brutal match this past week, though his opponent certainly got the worst of it. But Derrick Moore got power bombed through a flaming announce table. So he may be at less than a hundred percent here tonight.

Kevin Cole: Damien Escar cannot make it in time! The Wrecking Crew gets the win! Up next, a submissions-only match between Oblivion and Scourge!
Nik Cain: Oblivion and Scourge are among the baddest of the bad. Getting a submission out of either one is far from easy. Of course, Scourge was off last week, while Oblivion rolled himself in thumbtacks before taking a header of a 15-foot high scaffold. That may give Scourge a bit of an edge here tonight against the madman of FCW.

(Scourge, not being
one for post-match celebrating, just exits the ring, leaving Oblivion to
recover. 'Kid Kaos' Jay Reno sprints from the backstage area towards the ring.
In the ring, Oblivion smiles and beckons the on-rushing Reno into the ring. The
crowd roars as they expect a long-awaited collision between Jay Reno and
Oblivion.
Wasting no time Reno slides into the ring and rushes towards the maniacal
Oblivion. But 'Kid Kaos' merely runs past Oblivion rather than attacking him.
Springing off the ropes at a frightening pace Jay Reno launches himself over the
top rope on the opposite side of the ring with a suicide dive that catches a
somewhat startled Scourge off guard and sends him crashing to the floor.
Quickly getting back to his feet and looking
like a man possessed, 'Kid Kaos' snatches a steel chair away from the
timekeeper. He then proceeds to smash it over the head of the rising Scourge.
The first shot has little effect, but Reno continues to hammer away at the
larger superstar bringing him to his knees. As Reno continues his assault he
turns to Oblivion who is seemingly loving every sadistic chair-shot and begins
to scream at him.)
Jay Reno: Is this
what you wanted? Is this good enough for you? Like this? Like this?
(Finally 'Kid Kaos' just drops the chair and,
wiping the sweat from his brow, he bends down and plants a small kiss on the
forehead of the bloodied Scourge. He then looks up at Oblivion who is beaming
with satisfaction. With a rather petulant look on his face, Reno just murmurs,
"Nothing I do is ever good enough for you." before rushing away from the
ringside area.)
Kevin Cole: What the heck was that about?
Nik Cain: I don’t know. I really don’t know. Can we just cut to commercial?
Kevin Cole: That sounds like a good idea.
(Commercials)
Kevin Cole: We are back!
Nik Cain: And I think we’ve filled our quota for insanity already in our first segment so let’s see if this one can run without a hitch, for a change.
Kevin Cole: That’s would be nice. In any case, we’ve got Bad Dreams and Deacon King coming at you next!
