A new song breaks out over the speaker system at Rise To Stardom III, as Kazu and Bill Watson wonder what it could be for...
Suddenly the video screen cuts to backstage as the song continues playing, to where a long, black limousine pulls into the parking lot. Coming to a stop, the driver runs to the back door, and pulls it open. After a moment's pause, Chris Lionheart pokes his head into view as he steps out from the limo. Dressed smartly in a suit and tie, Lionheart appears to ready to make a major announcement, judging from the papers in his hand, and the broad smile across his face. The crowd comes alive at the sight of Lionheart, as he begins walking through the backstage area towards the ring!
Cowboy Bill Watson: "Oh My God! Ladies and Gentlemen, one year in the making, and Chris Lionheart has returned to TNB Wrestling! He's got paperwork with him! Will this be a return to normal for Rise To Stardom, where traditionally there has been legal documents involved, which make some major changes for the company's future?"
Kazu Tagahashi: "Bill... it looks that way! In 2009 a lawyer came out and divided up the company authority between several parties which eventually boiled down to Lionheart himself being in sole control once again. However it did put an end to the power-struggle of 2009 and things were going well, but then Keith Williams ripped control of this company from Lionheart shortly before Rise To Stardom 2 in 2010.
Cowboy Bill Watson: "How about this song choice? Listen to the lyrics. Maybe they will provide an insight into what the man is thinking..."
Kazu Tagahashi: "It will be interesting to hear what he has to say, Cowboy. We have all heard what he promised Ryan Blaze, that he was 'really' gone if Blaze defeated him at last year's pay per view, which Blaze did accomplish. It would be very dishonorable of him to take-back that retirement stipulation."
Cowboy Bill Watson: "I guess that would be true, but c'mon Tagahashi, retirement doesn't mean retirement in Pro Wrestling. So much has happened this past year whilst he's been gone, I'll bet he has a lot to say."
The camera continues to follow Lionheart through the backstage area Lionheart finds his way to the guerrilla position, and stops short of stepping out onto the stage. And as the camera shifts back to the arena, the lights go out and the music stops....

Candlefuse's ''Fighter'' begins to play as Lionheart's entrance video cuts through the darkness, and the man himself steps out onto the stage illuminated by a spotlight. He slowly walks down to the ringside area, around the ring, to the announcer's table where Bill Watson and Kazu Tagahashi are sat. He takes a microphone from them, and proceeds to climb on-top of their announcers desk.
There's a lot of questions surrounding my return, but what I have to say is quite simple, really. There will probably be even more questions raised once I've said my piece. But right here tonight I wanted to come out and address some of the top questions which I keep on getting asked every where I go. First of all, I know the situation with Keith Williams, and how his death made whatever legal papers he had me sign at the end of 2010 when he tricked me into signing over control of this company null and void. I'm the owner, I got the power of authority back, and I wish that Keith was still with us today so that we could hash things out properly man-to-man, but that isn't the case. I don't want to launch into all of that right now, I know that you fans came here tonight to see W-R-E-S-T-L-I-N-G. But suffice to say I won't be breaking any promises I made one year ago at Rise To Stardom. I also want to say that I will have a major announcement which will affect the future of this company on 11.11.11. On that date I will be holding a very special Press Conference, and anyone with any questions, staff, wrestlers, journalists, general public... anyone will be able to attend and ask their questions. 11.11.11 folks, mark it on your calendars and make sure your ass is in Atlanta Georgia on that day.
I also know how it all came crumbling down for Christian MoneyMaker, how he was hospitalized at the hands of Angel Fyre and Shawn Youngblood, and I hear that not only has he been released from hospital earlier this week, but he is in the building tonight! I'm not worried one bit about what MoneyMaker could possibly have to say to me, because whatever authority or power he had around here stemming from Keith's initial idea of having a Championship Committee, as of this moment, is gone...

Moneymaker walks out to his music as he walks to the ring with a mixture of boos from the crowd. He carries his briefcase as he looks at the announcers and then at Lionheart. He knew that this was a meeting of sorts that he couldn't pass up. So he takes a mic that was given to him from one of the ring girls as he taps it to see if it is on before speaking. [/center] Well, well, well! If it isn't the great Chris Lionheart and he has came back to T to the N to the B to give us a great word. A word that only he could speak and to try to embarrass me like some of the others in this building. But you know Chris by you coming out here and telling the world that my power is gone? What you failed to realize is the I never lost any power to begin with. Since day #1 when you hired me to do some magazine for this company you knew that I had the eye of vision and you knew that if the time came that things were going to be turned around.
You see this company was dieing. It was going a slow and painful death. You remember don't you? You remember that I came in to try to revitalize this company with the magazine. Hell, even when you closest friends bailed on you who was here to pick up the pieces? Who was the man that came in and stepped in as GM and brought this company to another level? Everyone thought what was Lionheart doing? But it didn't take long did it? When I was finally announced the GM and things rolled the way that I wanted them to roll you couldn't buy enough tv time for all the matches to be broadcasted. For once in your life you gave someone some control and it was beautiful wasn't it? Even you can't deny that one.
You see Lionheart when the company was in my power you didn't have the same ole lame champions like Avenger running the show. Oh no! You had guys that got their shots at the title and titles. I mean you had guys like Kratos with titles and Max Cutter. You had gals like Pandora and Serenity with titles. The list goes on and on but you also had the guys that built this place having titles like Avenger and Genesis as well. No matter what people may say about me, what I was was always fair. Bringing in the ladies you could say. Not handpicking opponents week in and week out. Letting the work on the mic and in the ring dictate who gets what title shot. [/center][/color] The fans stop their boos and the announcers are scratching their heads wondering where this is going. Moneymaker walks around as you could tell he was only scratching the surface with this one. [/center] Now lets fast forward this puppy shall we. TNB closes their doors and then it wasn't long till good ole Memphis TN was calling. That didn't last long and before you knew it you were re-opening the doors of TNB right here with a new vision and a collection of misfits running the show. But just like then like you are now thinking how can I buck the hell out of Christian. How can I put him off because I don't want anyone out shining me? That is what this is really about now isn't it? Your jealousy of the man with all the money and lets face it all the ladies.
But you know even though you may think negative of me there is no way you or anyone else can get around that when I got kicked to the curb then I decided to bring about some of the biggest names in the business for one party and did we party it out. The critics were saying it will never work. You can't bring about the biggest egos in the world and expect them to co-exist. But news flash for all you haters and that it did! I mean you had the Youngbloods. All of them! We had Sylas Styles and Genesis. We had Syren and Ashley Milano. And we had the new comer of the year and wrestler of the year in Joker! Nobody thought that we could do what we did but we did do it now didn't we?
And now you stand before me thinking you are gonna strip me of my power? It doesn't matter if you do that or not Lionheart. What you failed to realize is that I don't need creative control to have control! Look what the biggest egos in the world did including mine. Mine being the biggest! That's right this ego trip you may want to call it is the same one that will continue to do what he wants and when he wants and to who he wants. So when you come in saying you are going to take what is mine? Well boy you are talking about stealing from me and robbing me of what was promised. And when you do that, or to those that try to do that then you better realize that I don't play that way. Tonight you may bring about your "Return" in a light that will change the face of the wrestling business as you call it. But after I am done with you then this is not a return you will like to well.
Tonight if I am kicked to the curb all that means is that I get to play with a new set of rules and everyone knows that if you want to win and become a star then you align yourself with me. I bring about glory and fame. And that is what everyone wants even yourself Lionheart. Bottom line pal, this ain't about you anymore it is about the money and buyrates that I have always produced. Can't say that about anyone else that ran this nickle and dime show can you? [/center][/color] The fans boo him as Moneymaker was eating this up as he knew this was a spark that he could feel could make two men fight in that ring shortly. Basically it is what Moneymaker wanted. He wanted to fight Lionheart after his announcement of taking away his power. Moneymaker was fuming on the inside because this was his life and didn't like seeing anyone take anything from him but just looked at Lionheart waiting to see what the guy had to say back. [/center]

Lionheart slowly raises his microphone... and quickly lowers it to his side again. Then he brings it back to his chin once more.
Are you done? I was just checking, because that speech rivals the amount of hot air Genesis pumps into the atmosphere. But now that I've listened to all of that, I have to correct you on one major thing. This isn't about me, and I've never doubted your abilities. What I've taken shots at over the years when it comes to you, is that you're a no-good, crooked son-of-a-bitch! Just about everyone you've aligned yourself with, from Avenger to Angel Fyre, you've later double-crossed when you decided it was time to focus on somebody new. Just like now with Malachi Payne.
I think you have a lot to offer this company and these fans, but given a little power, and you go completely crazy. I'm not taking over control, and I'm not going to let you goad me into spilling the beans about this company's future. You will have to wait until 11.11.11 just like everyone else. But you won't be an authority figure if I have anything to do with it!
11.11.11. Press Conference. Be There!
Lionheart lowers his microphone and turns to leave the ring, wondering if MoneyMaker will have anything more to say.

Moneymaker wipes his chin as he lifts the mic. [/center] Listen up and listen good. I will be there at 11.11.11. Don't worry about that one and tonight you will fully understand the phrase "Ace In The Hole."
But like it or not or power or not, I am someone you better keep your eye on. Remember the forces that was MMI? That was a group no one could control. You remember how I played Shayne and Shawn? And how I teased Ashley and made her do things she didn't want? Well guess what? That my friend is only the tip of the iceberg. And tonight is only the beginning and as far as 11.11.11? Well that means you got till then to realize who runs this mom and pop store. See ya later and believe me you will be seeing me. [/center][/color]
