The Journey of Slam Jackson - Part II

*A video begins to play on the video screen in the NRWL Arena. Fans anxious watch to see what is.*

Narrator: This is the Journey of Slam Jackson. The NRWL has been following Slam since ---

*The video goes black. Suddenly, Living Color's "What's Your Favorite Color?" begins to play through the arena. The fans explode into cheers as Slam Jackson steps out to the stage and down the entrance ramp toward the ring. He slaps hands with fans on the way down. Slam slides in the ring, grabs a microphone from someone at ringside and walks to the middle of the ring.*

Slam Jackson: It has been too long. I've been gone too long and I've really missed the energy I feel every time I step into the NRWL ring. It is good to be back!

*The crowd begin cheering loudly.*

SJ: It seems that the NRWL has been a little slow at getting these "Journey of Slam Jackson" videos out to you so I thought I'd just come out and tell you that the journey is over. Slam Jackson is back!

*The crowd once again cheers. Slam looks around and smiles and then runs to the ropes, bounces off them and runs around the ring with the microphone in the air to collect the sounds from the crowd.*

SJ: This is the scariest part. I left because I let down the Slamnation. I left to refocus, to find myself, and come back better than ever so that I never, ever let them down again. So, that being said, are you still with me? SLAMNATION!!! Let me hear you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*The crowd erupts into cheers. The noise is deafening. The arena seems to be shaking from the noise. Slam stands in the middle of the ring and listens to the applause. He waits until the noise finally dies down.*

SJ: That feels good. Slamnation, I traveled far and wide to get prepared to return to the NRWL. I trained with Mike Blood, then I went down to Oklahoma to train with the legendary Bomb Squad. While I was with them, we managed to trash a bar during a massive brawl. They had to shut that place down because the damage was so bad. I have a scar on my chest to prove it! Then I traveled to Japan and spend time training with Akira Kusanagi, a former NRWL star who runs a fantastic promotion over there. I learned so much for all of these men and I promise not to let them or the Slamnation down. I am back. I am better than ever before. I will --

*"Dazzle Vision" by PV begins to play and Katsutoshi and Leiko walk out to the entrance ramp. Katsutoshi has a microphone in hand.*

Katsutoshi: Oh please. How sad is this? The man who partied and drank away the NRWL Championship leaves with his tail between his legs, comes back after trying to... how did you put it? Find yourself? ... and has some grand vision of being relevant again. First of all, Mike Blood's school has trained his son, Mark, a dullard who doesn't fit into the NRWL at all, Tom Shire, a guy who never was able to get a spot on the NRWL roster, and Storm Harrison, a cripple who doesn't even wrestle anymore, just to name a few. There's not much success coming out of that school. Then you went drinking with the Bomb Squad. Hmm.. sure doesn't sound like you learned anything new there. Then you go to Japan? Japan? If you wanted an education by a great Japanese wrestler, you didn't need to go very far. I can school you right here!

*The crowd boos. Slam looks around at the fans and laughs.*

SJ: It doesn't sound like these fans seem to like you. I've been watching and it's been really hard for me to not turn of the television whenever you start talking. Obviously we haven't been formally introduced. I'm Slam Jackson. I am the leader of the Slamnation and I am more than happy to shut you up if it will make them happy. Slamnation, do you want me to shut this guy up?

*The crowd begins cheering.*

SJ: I guess we have our answer.

K: It's a shame, really. Once I win our match, all that hard work of yours will be for nothing. It will be a pleasure sending you packing. Maybe this time, you'll go in shame forever.

SJ: I'm not going anywhere, ever again. Sorry to disappoint. Get ready to feel the power of the SLAM!!!! NATION!!!!!

*Slam's music begins playing again. The crowd bursts into cheers again. Katsutoshi smirks and shakes his head. He motions to Leiko to follow him and they walk backstage. Slam climbs out of the ring and greets fans at ringside.*
