The One Where Kyle Nobbs was the General Manager..

[Chris Lionheart]

I:W ShowDown opens cold with a video package of Chris Lionheart sat on the front porch of his home in England, relaxing in a porch swing.

You know... sometimes it's nice to get away from the daily grind of 'the business'. All the extra work which goes into making sure that the matches you see on TV are the best we can provide. So I'm taking this week off to be at home and get caught-up with the retired life again. But don't worry, if I can't get a permenant replacement authority figure, I may have stumbled onto the next best thing. Guest General Managers.

I know what you're thinking. It's not original or innovative. And you'd be right. But as they say in Memphis "things be that way, sometimes". This week's telecast of I:W ShowDown will be brought to you by an old friend, Kyle Nobbs. He is the man in charge tonight.

Cue the pyrotechnics.

It sounds like bombs are going off as a beautiful and intense display of fireworks and booming effects light up the area around the stage. This was going to be a good show.

Kyle Nobbs walks out onto the stage once the pyro is done shooting off, and his music is playing. He's not dressed to compete, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. Not formal, but he isn't a formal kind of guy.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" he begins. He's smiling, as excited as the rest of the crowd. "While the I:W owner takes a well-earned, week long vacation, I'm certainly not! And I have a great show for you tonight. We're going to kick things off with a one on one match that's sure to get things pumping - Brent Starr will face Alex Winters to open our show!

A little later on, I have a certain something special planned for two of the most disrespectful men on our roster, Double S and Jeff Kain. While you two might want to make a hobby out of trying to smack women around, that's not something I'm a fan of. My daddy raised me better. So, Double S and Jeff Kain will team up tonight! Their opponents - the ever honorable Sentoryu! And his tag team partner - me.

And now, to move onto our main event of the evening! My buddy VXT is on a roll, undefeated so far this season. And the Joker defeated the new Gladiator Champion last week. So these two will face off against I:W mainstay Angel Fyre for a shot at Daisuke Tsuyuki at Survive and Conquer!

What do you think? Excited? You should be. It's going to be one hell of a night. But those aren't the only surprises I had in mind for you. You'll see me around."

As to be expected, the fans are going nuts! Kyle smirks in his famous, almost cocky way and his music plays again. He leaves the stage and Alex Winters' music plays, signaling the beginning of the opening match...
