cameras come on to Joey Styles at an announcers's desk
JS: Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Floride, where we'll be... well... I'll be honest, I have no idea what we're actually doing here tonight. I got a cryptic text from Paul Heyman telling me to be in Jacksonville tonight, so here I am, but I still don't...
Joey stops talking as Brian Pillman jumps the rail behind him and takes a seat next to him, putting on the headset
BP: Hi, Joey, happy to see me?
JS: Well, yeah, sure, um, what are you...
BP: You seem nervous.
JS: I am a little, yes.
BP: Yeah ya should be...
The famous ECW theme hits as fans cheer "E-C-Dub!"
PH: Ladies and Gentlemen (huge pop), My name is Paul Heyman.
Heyman allows the cheers to die down a bit as he enters the ring with a briefcase
You all...not ya'll, YOU ALL, might be wondering whats going on here tonight. Why is the Wiseman, the Founder of the best wrestling company this world has ever seen, why is Paul Heyman here tonight, in Jacksonville?
(another huge town name pop that Heyman waits to finish)
It was...
Paul finally notices Pillman at the desk with Joey and seems confused, then gets back on track
one day, a few months ago, I had to come here to do a show. And as I walked through the airport with all the riff raff and filthy mongrols that are Floridians (boos), I noticed the call letters. J. A. X.
And then it hit me. J A X...Just As Xtreme. The old ideas, the old dreams, they started racing through my head again. Could I do this again? Could I run a successful promotion...again?
Heyman opens the briefcase to show a World Championship Belt with the letters JAX imposed in top of each other
I AM gonna do this again. This here is the JAX World Championship, and it's going to...

Rob Van Dam walks to the ring to massive cheers, grabs a mic, and joins Paul in the ring
RVD: It's great to see you Paul. You've gotten...bigger (crowd laughs)
PH: And I did it without the munchies as well.
RVD: Good one, anyway, I figured I'd come out to go head and say yes.
PH: (confused) yes to what?
RVD: Well, obviously, it makes sense for me to be the first Just As Xtreme World Champion. I'm extreme. I;ve always been extreme.
PH: You're right, it does make sense. You've had an amazing career, but... as I seem to recall, the last time someone gave you the ball, well... things went up in smoke
(Oooooohs)
RVD: Really, Paul? After all these years you're gonna...
PH: You know what, you're right. You're deserving. So here's what I'll do. Night One! JAX Main Event! For the newly minted JAX World Championship! Rob Van Dam vs...
lights go out
Aleister Black rises from the stage and slowly makes his way to the ring. He stands nose to nose with Van Dam. Heyman stands behind them holding the JAX World Championship over them.
JS: What a Main Event. Two men with perhaps the most educated feet in the history of wrestling!
Both men kind of nod respect to the other and back out of the ring. Heyman is about to leave the ring when...
Drew McIntyre makes his to the ring to a thunderous applause, leading to Heyman stepping back to the center of the ring
DM: Paul, Paul E. Whatever name you're going by, there was a name I didn't hear. Mine. I'm just as deserving. So we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Put me in that match.
PH: Mr. McIntyre, can I call you Drew? (Drew nods) Drew...honestly, I've never liked you. (boos) You had everything handed to you. You were the Chosen One. Then you threw it all away and got your ass kicked by your wife.
(oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh)
Drew is about to lay out Heyman before Heyman backs off quickly
I'll tell ya what I'll do. Night One. You'll be in the #1 Contenders Match. If you win, you'll face the new JAX World Champion at Night Two. Does that sound good to you?
DM: (mulling it over for a bit) Fine. Who's head am I kicking into the third row?
PH: (grinning evily) The Undertaker.
Heyman quickly exits the ring as Drew stands in the center looking up like 'God help me' when the lights go out again
The Sandman makes his usual entrance in the stands as the music plays. He knocks back a beer and crushes it on his head when he's hit from behind and knocked down. Joe Gacy and Brodus Clay beat the Sandman down.
BP: (laughing hysterically) Guess he couldn't Hack it, eh, Joey?
Pillman slaps Joey on the back so hard his glasses fly off and he nearly chokes as Pillman leaves the table
Once Joey gathers himself, he speaks again into the camera
JS: I'm told Kayla Braxton is backstage, let's cut to her now.
Kayla is standing by the curtain at Gorilla as Heyman walks through.
KB: Paul!
PH: (startled) Oh, for... who hired you here?
KB: It was a draft Paul. When will the card for Night One be released?
PH: Soon, ok, now stop doing...you know, that popping up outta no where thing.
Heyman walks away down a small hallway yelling "do we have any other interviewers?!"
Before Kayla can even react to that, he mic hand if grabbed by LA Knight.
LAK: Let me talk to ya for a second. LA Knight will be the true star of this company, especially in this backwater town in Florida that no one can remember the name of. I figure the quickest way to get the respect I deserve is to call out a legend. Someone all the boys respect. So.. Fit Finlay. Ya love to fight? Why don't ya bring that fight to L. A. Knight. Ye-ah!
Cut to JD McDonagh walking down a hallway approaching catering
JDM: There's a saying here in America. Part of your prison folklore, that's frankly stupid, but it goes "take out the biggest and baddest day one. Well, Night One. I will...
McDonagh enters catering, sees Damien Priest, and lays him out with a sucker punch. Security grabs both men before Priest can retaliate.
JDM: See ya Night One![/i][/i][/i][/i]
