Travis Dos Dos

[The scene fades in to show El Termitas backstage, happily awaiting his cue]

El Termitas: Hey there NRWL! It's El Termitas. I've been hearing some rumblings lately that Travis 22 challenged me to a match! I thought about it for about five seconds, then decided to accept it! A new opponent presents new opportunities in the ring! But, I know what everyone is really thinking. They're going “El Termitas, it's Travis 22! He's so annoying! He says he wins when he actually loses!” Well, I'm going to make a bold prediction here NRWL fans. I believe that after our match, win or lose, Travis 22 will come out next week and claim he's undefeated.

Guess what. That's ok! He can do that all he wants. I say that, because the important “win” doesn't go in the record books for El Termitas or Travis 22. No, the important “win” is for the fans, and that they'll come out on top by witnessing an entertaining match! Of course...you guys will end up with a loss next week, but that will be for your ears, haha! ...Unless the NRWL fans petitioned the President of the United States to place a gag order on Travis 22. Then you may be saved! Well, let's hope for the best. Until next time, this is El Termitas!  Adios!

Going After The Big Fish

[The camera fades in to show Mr. Lifeguard in the locker room, his head in his hands. A few seconds later, El Termitas walks into view]

Termitas: You're not looking too good Lifeguard. What's the matter?

Mr. Lifeguard: I've been doing some thinking. What if...what if I'm not cut out to be a wrestler? What if my true calling is saving people, and not hurting them? What if I just.......quit?

Termitas: Aw, come on man! Don't say things like that! It's only been a couple of losses. No need to beat yourself up over that! You even beat Storm Harrison!

Mr. Lifeguard: I know that but, it just seems like I can't get on a good winning streak. This goes beyond NRWL! Things haven't been the same since my father got thrown off the roof of a building by the Behemoth.

Termitas: But you got revenge on the Behemoth and beat him, remember?

Mr. Lifeguard: That's true, I suppose.

Termitas: Then I have a plan. You need to channel that anger you felt then towards massive, giant men. Then, team with me, and take it out on the Sons of Darkness!

Mr. Lifeguard: I don't know, that just seems like it won't work.

Termitas: Lifeguard, you need to remember! Remember that it was the Sons of Darkness who through your father off that roof!

Mr. Lifeguard: But it wasn't.

Termitas: They put your father in coma!

Mr. Lifeguard: He's actually healthy, now.

Termitas: Fine, fine....But you know what they DID do? They told me.... [El Termitas looks around to make sure no one else is around, then leans forward to whisper in Lifeguard's ear] ...they told me, that when they go to the beach, and they see warning flags indicating strong tides...they take those flags down, and tell swimmers that the ocean is safe!

Mr. Lifeguard: That's dangerous! People can drown!

Termitas: Exactly! And as I look around now, there's only one lifeguard that can stop them, and that's YOU! Mr. Lifeguard!

Mr. Lifeguard: I must stop them! But, you're still teaming with me, right?

Termitas: I am! I'm just not a certified lifeguard.

Mr. Lifeguard: Well I'm anointing you an honorary lifeguard for this match. The Sons of Darkness will learn a few things about safety by the time we're done with them!

Noninvasive Invasion

[The scene fades in showing eight men standing side by side backstage. A familiar NRWL face, Mr. Lifeguard, steps forward]

Mr. Lifeguard: Hello NRWL! Remember me? I'm your old pal, Mr. Lifeguard! You're probably wondering right now “Mr. Lifeguard, where oh where have you been?” Well that's an easy answer! Saving lives of course! But when I wasn't at the beach rescuing people from dangerous waters, I was wrestling in my father's company, HAW! Unfortunately...my father was thrown from the top of a building and had company power seized from him, and I failed in my attempt to get the company back resulting in many wrestlers being fired! But have no fear! I took some of my fellow unemployed wrestlers, and I'm bringing them here to NRWL! Let's go down the line and meet some of them!

[Lifeguard approaches an Italian man]

Mr. Lifeguard: Right here is none other than Franco Mancini! Franco has had some-

Franco Mancini: Shut up! I had a pretty good gig on when I was with HAW until you screwed everything up! I mean, the pay I was getting there? Couldn't be beat! I was a three time World champion! Life was good! …..But you know what? NRWL...that's got a little bit more name recognition. That's more opportunity for me, and I seize opportunity! The NRWL needs fresh blood, and I will provide that. So you guys...you better watch out!

Mr. Lifeguard: Ah, Franco! That's the fighting spirit, good job! Next in line, we have my great friend making his return to NRWL, El Termitas!

El Termitas: Debut.

Mr. Lifeguard: Excuse me?

El Termitas: Making my debut.

Mr. Lifeguard: Of course! My good friend, El Termitas, making his NRWL debut!

El Termitas: Thank you Lifeguard. And while I've never worked here before, I've always been a fan of the NRWL! I'm looking forward to getting in the ring with everyone in this roster, from legends to new, undiscovered talent in development! Maybe I'll end up capturing the NRWL championship, maybe I'll team up with my pal Mr. Lifeguard and capture the tag titles, or maybe I'll just put on entertaining matches for the fans! At the end of the day, I'm just going to enjoy this experience!

Mr. Lifeguard: Unless you get a career ending injury! Moving on down the line, we have Benjamin the Blessed, and The Filthy Friar, The Holy Duo! How do you guys feel about joining the NRWL?

Benjamin: We feel hope. Hope for the planet. With The Holy Duo wrestling again, we can destroy the world's sinners, one match at a time. A wrestler is a cruel man. Focusing on brutalizing an opponent, until they are left to drown in their own blood. And what for? A piece of gold. Greed runs rampant in this company! Unfortunately for humanity, violence can only be ended BY violence. We will end the reign of the sinners, and we will begin a new age of peace. Di te incolumem custodiant.

Mr. Lifeguard: We may need El Termitas to translate that Spanish for us! Lastly, we have a strange group of people, Crash MuscleGate, Frederic St. Pierre, and Lovable Liam! I'm glad to see the three of you guys made it!

Crash: We didn't have a choice! Everywhere I went, people were asking me two questions: “Crash, can you tell me the secret ingredient in your protein shake?” and “Crash, when are you and the MuscleGang coming back?” Well the answer to those questions are “No!” and “Now!” I'm back, and my cardio is off the charts! Frederic, how would you describe my cardio before?

Frederic: Magnifique!

Crash: Exactly! And now, it's perfect! I've got my two workout partners, and we're ready to show some new folks what we do!

Frederic: I echo the sentiments of mon ami. And I also warn the NRWL roster...beware of stereotypes. One may view moi, as a cowardly Frenchman. One may view this HAW roster as...rejects. We are not. We are to be taken seriously. If you fail to do that, you will be in for a surprise.

Liam: Exactly! Look at the muscles on these boys here! They are sooooo strong! I've wrestled everyone standing here, and I can safely say, the things they can do to you in the ring, you'll remember for a long time to come! But I also agree with El Termitas! I want to wrestle everyone I can! I'll take on all comers!

Mr. Lifeguard: Wow, what a show of confidence from Lovable Liam! You just gotta love him! Well NRWL, we hope you're ready for us! It's going to be a good season!
