(Corvalis, Oregon. Oregon State University. It’s orange and black all over as the Beavers just beat up on the University of Southern California to take the Pac-10 championship. That doesn’t concern our executive board – go Bruins. Shawn Twilight, executive chairman, and Aarya Ranvir, head of talent development and number one contender to the AOWF World Heavyweight Championship whether you like it or not - stand in the middle of the craziness.)
Aarya Ranvir: It feels like its been forever.
(Twilight is rather irritated on his cell phone.)
Shawn Twilight: And…?
(Ranvir talks to the camera.)
Aarya Ranvir: Sorry fans – Shawn’s a little upset today – may not be able to give you his full attention during this opening segment.
Shawn Twilight: He never got the contract?
Aarya Ranvir: You see – we went out of our way to dedicate our inaugural Titan Title Tournament in honor of the career of Matthew Attict.
Shawn Twilight: What do I pay you for?
(Twilight is yelling directly into his receiver.)
Aarya Ranvir: And then – someone, somewhere – a former employee of Liberty Wrestling I’m sure – didn’t get the contract out to Mr. Attict in time for his scheduled appearance and return to the AOWF community tonight.
(Twilight clamps his phone shut and throws it towards the side of a building. It breaks apart.)
Shawn Twilight: Son of a bitch!
Aarya Ranvir: Needless to say – Mr. Twilight isn’t happy about that. I guess all those years of the Charms poking fun at the inbred, over-tanned roots of Matthew Attict have come back to cost them.
(Twilight sternly looks at Ranvir.)
Shawn Twilight: Just hit the tag line.
(He storms off towards the arena.)
Aarya Ranvir: It’s Tuesday – and this is the Truth!
("The Second Coming" from Juelz Santana. A very short intro package with still shots of past and present Liberty Wrestling personalities. We eventually fade into a threesome behind the commentator’s desk. Dan Timberland and Aarya Ranvir at the table.)
Aarya Ranvir: We taped that intro segment like five minutes ago – and he’s only got more irritated since then.
Dan Timberland: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Tuesday Night Truth… well Matt Attict return to night?
Aarya Ranvir: YES!
Dan Timberland: No. But we do promise a helluva card.
Aarya Ranvir: NO!
Dan Timberland: We’ll have to wait and see – let’s throw it to Joel Cronus for our ring introductions on the first match of the night.
(Joel in the ring with a spotlight.)
Joel Cronus: The following match is for the Liberty Wrestling Federation’s Intercontinental Championship! Introducing first…
(“Shipping Up to Boston” starts up.)
Joel Cronus: Being brought to the ring by the Slutkickys… from the fightin’ Swifkicky family…
(Iron Nick comes out with the girls. His eye is swollen before he even reaches the apron.)
Joel Cronus: I give you – IRON NICK SWIFKICKY!
(He hops into the ring and throws his arm into the air. The half-capacity crowd doesn’t have time to return his enthusiasm.)
Joel Cronus: And his opponent…
(The Dropkick Murphys are replaced by As I Lay Dying with “Confined”.)
Joel Cronus: Fighting out of Hollywood, California…
(Adonis makes his way down to ring with his long black hair and tight pants.)
Joel Cronus: He is the LWF Intercontinental Champion – HE IS ADONIS!
*DING, DING*
Dan Timberland: Interesting match up.
Aarya Ranvir: How did Swifkicky get a title shot?
(Iron Nick leaps in at Adonis, but it’s easily dodged.)
Aarya Ranvir: Never mind that – why did Adonis get handed the title?
(Adonis knocks down Swifkicky with a standing lariat from behind. He then clamps on an ankle lock.)
Aarya Ranvir: Why’s everything so confusing all of a sudden.
(Swifkicky desperately grabs for a rope, but Adonis pulls him to the middle of the ring and pulls the leg up to a single crab.)
Dan Timberland: I think Swifkicky was just rewarded tonight for his dedication and perservance in Liberty Wrestling over the last couple years. Regardless of the outcomes – he shows up each and every night and tries his best.
Aarya Ranvir: You’re getting a little loose with the use of the word “try” there Dan.
(Swifkicky struggles to get out of the hold. He does manage to get to one foot while Adonis still has the hold locked in on the other.)
Dan Timberland: Adonis holding on here as Swifkicky tries to shift the advantage of this match.
Aarya Ranvir: This is his debut, his first defense – he has a lot to prove – I know a lot of people in the back who weren’t too happy about Drake’s decision.
Dan Timberland: Are you implying that you think he’s wrong?
Aarya Ranvir: I’m not an idiot. I’m just saying that “people” in the “back” have been “questioning “ things since the passing of Adam Gray.
(Adonis kicks out the other leg and splits Swifkicky. A standing dropkick folds him up.)
Dan Timberland: Regardless of his opponent – Adonis is bound to impress with vicious maneuvers like that.
Aarya Ranvir: Swifkicky looked bruised before he got in there.
Dan Timberland: I think he may have been a little dazed still from that spot on side kick delivered by an intoxicated West Indiez a couple weeks back.
(Swifkicky grasping at straws and misses an attempted low blow.)
Dan Timberland: Swifkicky quickly running out of options here – misses with that attempted low blow. His father, referee Dick Swifkicky warning him.
(Adonis flips him up and over with a suplex. He stays on for the cover.)
Dan Timberland: And we have a cover!

Dan Timberland: NO! Swifkicky got a shoulder up.
Aarya Ranvir: A moral victory.
Dan Timberland: I’m telling you, backstage Nick was very focused on winning that title tonight.
Aarya Ranvir: All the focus in the world won’t work for Iron Nick.
(Adonis looks a little upset over what may have been a fast count.)
Dan Timberland: A stern look from the Intercontinental Champion here.
(Adonis with a kick to the gut. He grabs Swifkicky’s face and jumps up – then brining him down face first to the mat.)
Aarya Ranvir: I think he lost his focus there.
Dan Timberland: That’s what he call ‘The End’.
(We get a cover.)

*DING, DING*
Dan Timberland: And that seems to be an appropriate name.
Aarya Ranvir: Wasn’t impressive enough.
Dan Timberland: It was like three minutes it took him to beat an experienced veteran.
(Adonis is handed his belt – which he grabs and leaves with back down the aisleway. Swifkicky is still out of it in the ring.)
Aarya Ranvir: Not impressive enough. Get some real competition in there.
Dan Timberland: It’s his first match – it was booked two weeks ago – what do you want him to do?
Aarya Ranvir: More.
Dan Timberland: How about we take a break?(How about yes.)
