Kevin Cole: Wait just one moment! I am receiving word of some sort of commotion backstage! Jay Reno has knocked out one of our cameramen and hijacked a camera!
(The cameras abruptly cut from the ringside action to display shots of a storage room somewhere in the building. At first we just see shots of a wall with boxes piled alongside it. Then a familiar figure walks up to the camera, it is none other than 'Kid Kaos' Jay Reno. His bleached blonde hair is untidy, he is unshaven and the look in his bulging, glaring eyes is far more deranged than usual. Reno looks into the camera and smiles widely: "Everything is perfect my good buddies. Now let's capture this tender moment on film so we can treasure it". Reno swivels the camera, which is obviously mounted on a tripod, to the left revealing a table and chairs.
Carefully laid out in the middle of the table are a small set of plates and cups. Next to them are a large teapot and also a cake with a single candle in the middle. There are 3 chairs around the table. Reno himself sits in one of them. Sitting in the chair opposite to him is a life-size cardboard cut-out of Oblivion. Seated at the head of the table is a rather distressed and bewildered Jean. His hands are tied behind the chair and a gag has been placed around his mouth. Shifting around in his chair Jean struggles weakly to escape his bonds but he seems to have been sedated for he drifts in and out of consciousness. As Jean slumps forward Jay Reno reaches out and slaps him across his face, waking him up. Reno admonishes the startled superstar, a look of disgust etched on his face: "I invite you, my special friend to share my birthday celebrations and you don't even have the decency to stay awake? Shame on you. And look, you haven't even touched your tea. What's wrong with you Jean?"
'Kid Kaos' turns to the cardboard cut-out of Oblivion. "What on earth are we to do with him Daddy?" After waiting expectantly for a while Reno just shrugs his shoulders in resignation. "OK, be like that then. Why isn't anything I ever do to your pleasing? Well it's my party and I'm gonna have some of my cake". Jay Reno carefully cuts himself a large slice of his sponge birthday cake and puts it on his plate. He then turns once again to Jean, looking down at the teacup that is laid in front of him which is obviously still full. Reno struggles to hide his impatience: "Oh, I see what the problem is. You like a good strong cup - well why didn't you tell me?"
With this Reno picks up the teapot and begins to pour more fresh hot tea into Jean's cup. After pausing and looking at Jean for a few seconds, his face contorts and his expression turns to one of pure hatred. Shouting "Fine, let's just forget the whole thing!" he suddenly hurls the teapot in Jean's direction. Striking the edge of the table nearest to Jean the teapot breaks, sending boiling hot tea all over the defenseless superstar. Jean manages an agonized, muffled moan as the pain undoubtedly spreads across his body. Reno then proceeds to overturn the table, which simultaneously unbalances Jean's chair causing him to topple onto his back. Stepping back to survey the destruction he has just caused, 'Kid Kaos' simply sings "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" in a child-like voice. He then steps back and after gazing directly into the camera and murmuring "Sorry Daddy" he switches it off...
We cut back to a shot of Kevin Cole and Nik Cain, both sitting with their mouths gaped wide open in disbelief. After a prolonged pause, Nik Cain finally speaks.)
Nik Cain: What...the...f*ck was that? No, seriously, what the f*ck was that?
Kevin Cole: I don’t know...I really don’t know.
Nik Cain: Did we just see a damn tea party with Jay Reno, an obviously drugged Jean and an obviously cardboard Oblivion or did I just drift off over here and have the most messed up dream since the one where I was a fire hydrant?
Kevin Cole: Let’s please just move on to our next match up as former Aces of Fortune Darian Blaze and Nimrod go at it.
Nik Cain: Excellent idea.

(“Smoke on The Water” plays, signaling the arrival of James Crawford.)
Kevin Cole: Here comes the president...and he does not look happy!
(Crawford looks to be
in a rather foul mood as he reaches the ring. Not wasting any time he begins to
address the crowd.)
James Crawford: Okay, I have officially had enough. As you all know, there has
been this “person” here in The FCW that has hiding himself from us. I’m tired of
this and I’m sure you’re all tired of it too. So how about my little hooded
admirer grow a pair and show himself!
(With that, the FCW-tron comes to live. The hooded man is there, looking about
as smug as a man can look while wearing a hood.)
Man: You don’t like my little game? When you say things like that, it hurts...it
really does. Well let me ask you this James, is this real...or is this Memorex.
(Crawford knows what’s going on and turns
around to find himself face to face with the hooded man in the flesh. Not being
scared, Crawford gets right up in his face, going so far as to shove the man.)
Kevin Cole: Oh my! James Crawford just shoved
the hooded man...hard!
Nik Cain: It’s not
like the boss to get his hands dirty.
(The hooded man doesn’t miss a beat tattooing James Crawford with a super kick flush on the jaw, leaving him sprawled out on the mat.)
Kevin Cole: Oh my goodness! This hooded individual has just kicked the president of this company right in the face!
(The man takes the
hood off to reveal...)
Kevin Cole: It’s Shawn Michaels! Shawn
Michaels is back and has just knocked James Crawford out cold!
Nik Cain: I can’t
believe that cockroach has come back yet again.
(In the blink of an
eye, security has rushed the ring and mobbed Michaels. A few members of the
security staff are not shy about using excessive force to subdue him either.
Amidst a flurry of punches and kicks you can hear Michaels screaming. He is
finally dragged away, his nose bloodied and a cut opened above his eye. He is
literally dragged kicking and screaming...and spitting away from the ring. The
cameras follow backstage, where the beating continues, before Michaels is
finally thrown unceremoniously out the door of the arena.)
Nik Cain: Michaels managed to do what nobody else has ever managed to do; he got his hands...and foot on Crawford. But he’s certainly paying for it. And I have a feeling he will truly have hell to pay in the form of Crawford’s nephew, Oblivion.
Kevin Cole: Well we have got to take a break! Do not go away because there is no telling what will happen next!
(Commercials)
Kevin Cole: We are back!
Nik Cain: And, man, is Crawford pissed. If HBK is crazy enough to want back in to FCW, I think Crawford will do it, just to make his life as miserable as possible.
Kevin Cole: You may be right! But, right now, let’s get back to ring as the man who would be World Champion is about to be in action! Scourge, who scored a commanding victory over Hazard last week, takes on Deacon King.
Nik Cain: Hazard won’t make excuses for himself but let’s face it, the guy should probably be on the shelf for a month after his match from Cruel and Unusual. Right now, Scourge has got all the momentum in the world but Deacon King could but an end to that right here.

Kevin Cole: And this one is over!
(As the match draws to a close, all three men are in the ring, the Paladin stalking Escar, backed in a corner, and Chris White watching from behind the two warriors. We see a figure enter the ring, behind Chris White, and we quickly realize that it’s none other than Derrick Moore. The first thing we notice about him are the remnants of the burns left on him from being power bombed through a flaming table three weeks ago. Chris White turns around only to be picked up and slammed in a spine buster from the monstrous Moore. The Paladin, hearing the ruckus behind him, turns his attention for only a moment. Escar takes the initiative and dropkicks Paladin in the knee, sending him down to the other. Moore runs and rebounds from the ropes and hits a lariat on Paladin.
Moore now turns his attention back to Chris White, who is trying to regain his footing, but before he realizes the entirety of the situation, Moore has him on his shoulders. Moore pivots once, walking a few steps toward the ramp way, and then pivots back around, running toward the direction of the announcer’s table. Before fans even begin to fathom what’s happening, Moore throws White out of the ring in an amazing display of power, and making him land almost spine-first onto the announcer’s table, clearing Nik Cain and Kevin Cole from the table. The table doesn’t break, through, and Chris White quickly disappears behind the table. Fans are in a wild uproar as they are shocked and excited from what’s going on in the ring. As the Paladin is recovering, Escar measures him up and executes a picture perfect super kick to the jaw of Paladin, who turns to stumble into the waiting arms of Moore, who executes a Hard-Line, shaking the very foundation of the ring. As fans give their mixed reaction, Escar demands for a mic.)
Escar: A set-up. You people saw this coming from a mile away, yet you didn’t even try to stop it! It would’ve been a waste of time anyway, because it’s not like you could have. We came to FCW to make a statement, yet everyone has ignored us. Well, starting now that comes to an end. These two worthless idiots you call superstars give bad names to the word champion, and we’re going to spare the FCW of this trash. Now ask yourself, what can you do about it? And even if you people could do anything, would you really want to?
(Escar looks down at the Paladin with disgust and simply drops the microphone onto his chest. The two men exit the ring, laughing at the unconscious White as they pass by him. They grab the tag titles off the time keeper’s table and hold them up for a few seconds before dropping them back down and making their exit.)
Kevin Cole: Did you see that?
Nik Cain: No. It’s not like a 220-pound guy just came flying right at me. Of course I saw it, numb nuts. Just go to commercial.
Kevin Cole: We’ll be right back with our main event as Brad Steel defends the Television Title against Bad Dreams! Stay tuned!

Kevin Cole: We are back! Brad Steel, the current Television Champion, is set to defend against Bad Dreams, the first ever Television Champion, so let’s get to the ring!

Nik Cain: Look at Blaze; he’s loving this.
(With the match over,
Blaze walks to the ring with purpose, climbs the
steel stairs, and steps through the ropes. Blaze, drops his bag at his feet, as
he grabs the mic from the announcer.)
Darian Blaze: I wanted to come out here and
let you people out in the audience know something. Steel, I never held you back,
from anything, I never ruined your life, and I never stole any spotlight from
you; you did that to yourself. You have all the ability in the world but you’re
still a far cry from what an FCW superstar should be. If you ever want to make
it in the driver’s seat here in FCW, you better learn how to handle the wheel.
Take a look at the FCW-tron relive some of your career “highlights” for just a
few moments, because you’ve earned it.
(Blaze points toward the rear of the arena,
and on cue the FCW-tron comes alive. Shots are shown of Steel in his early FCW
career, losing matches to lesser talent. Shots of Steel holding the now defunct
IC title, and dropping it to Jeff Miller after a brief two week long reign, is
shown. The clips rewind a lot, and show Steel losing a grueling match with the
current World Champ, at the very first Cruel and Unusual. More clips follow with
the failed union of the Foundation, as well as Steel’s suspension from FCW. The
last clip is more recent. It is of Steel and “El Estrella” dropping the World
tag titles, to the Nightmare Express.)
Darian Blaze: That is your life in a nutshell
Steel, one huge disappointment after another. You lack focus, and I’m here to
redirect you, to educate you on the world of professional wrestling.
(Steel, who has managed to recover from the Good Night Irene, now stares bullets
through Blaze, and is literally steaming. Blaze, reaches for his duffel bag and
slips on a pair of lightweight boxing gloves. Blaze nails Steel in the gut, with
a slicing body-shot, and as he doubles over, drops him with a devastating, right
cross. Blaze, takes the gloves off, throws them down, and utters these words.)
Darian Blaze: Maybe now you’re starting to catch on.
(Blaze walks off and meets back up with Lauren at the top of the ramp. The two soak in the crowd’s reaction before leaving.)
Nik Cain: Well, damn, this just was not Steel’s night...and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Kevin Cole: We are out of time but be sure to tune in next week when Hazard puts the FCW World Title on the line against Scourge! Until then, this is Kevin Cole for Nik Cain saying goodnight!
