"It's a distant memory...or at least it should feel like it. It's only been but a few short years, yet it feels like it never left. What I feel...what I've done, I know they never forgave me for it. Why should I care? I was only doing what I thought was best. I always did what people wanted, it pleased them. Why did I do it? It satisfied THEM. One day, I woke up and realized I was doing everything for the wrong reasons. Who fucking cares what other people wanted. I realized it wasn't them I should be satisfying, it was ME! It was about time I had an agenda. It was for a good god damn cause too. I had adapted an ideology and it was freaking brilliant. What I became, no....WHO I became was a mastery even of itself. It was time I had given myself a purpose, and a purpose I gave. Of course, what followed would have been a legacy that wouldn't ever be rivaled. I had been living a lie..and it was time to return to the roots that made me ever so successful. I had come to my senses and it was time I got back on track. Now that I have reverted to my old ways, it was time to seep through the roots that made who I am today..."
Hollywood's Mansion
11:00 PM
A moderate rain was falling in the quiet non disturbed outskirts area of Los Angeles. The camera panned outward as it showed the outline of Hollywood's Mansion. Hollywood's cars were seen parked up next to his garage from the long strip from the entrance of the gate. The gate was shut as the rain was falling from the black bars. The camera then pans inside the garage where we see Hollywood's two Harley Davidson motorcycles sitting idol. We are taken inside the dark mansion as each room is shown briefly. Finally, we are taken into a room barely lit. The only thing keeping it lit was a small candle on a desk. Sitting not far from that desk, a figure was sitting in a chair barely able to be made out. There's a little noise as all of a sudden a voice could be heard.
"I bet your wondering, why all the mystery? It's just fitting you know? A dark, rainy night, and here I am in a gigantic mansion. It's all silent and here a small candle sits before me. You could call it theatrics if you want. I call it just another night. Or is it? I sit here thinking about my recent past and the only word that keeps coming back is irrelevant. Why irrelevant you say? Everything leading up to this moment has been perfectly executed over the course of the last several months. There's a reason why they call me the Strategist."
The rain outside could be heard getting heavier. The flame in the candle starts to sway back and forth a little quicker. There was a small draft entering the room as the camera zooms in closer to the figure. The figure leans forward out of the darkness as it is revealed to be Brian Hollywood. Hollywood smiles lightly.
"Yes, your truly Mr. Executive himself, Brian Hollywood. I don't need any introduction. There's a reason I am who I am. I am calculating and I am manipulative. Last week was me finally revealing my true intentions. Did you really think you were going to be seeing the happy fight for righteousness and truth Hollywood? No, of course not! That time has come and gone. What transpired last week was what has been lurking in the shadows for the longest time. I had to wait until the opportune moment to reveal my truest intentions. Now that you have all been witnessed to it, I can now share with you what my plans are."
Hollywood smiles evilly. His eyes are cold as he stares forward barely moving.
"You see, ever since I stepped foot in APW, I had an agenda. That agenda has led me exactly where I'm supposed to be and where you see me now. What did you expect anything differently? Some of you people know exactly how calculating I can be. Some of you know the true Hollywood that you see in front of you right now. It's better that you do, too. Heh, it's actually amazing, you know? Just how many people I had fooled. This is where the true fun begins! Why it was fun leading you all on like a bunch of fucking sheep, it's at this point where things really get interesting!"
Hollywood adjusts himself in his chair as he strokes his beard. The smile that crosses his face shows the manipulative nature that Hollywood enjoys.
"Interesting. Such a mysterious, yet exciting word isn't it? While I can pull people's interests in, I really get everyone extremely intrigued. On the surface, they are pissed and frustrated because they only wish they can be like me. However, deep down inside, they can only wonder how spectacle I can get. They are curious as to what I'm going to do next. Wouldn't you all like to know? Heh, I'm sure you would. In time, you all will come to discover what I plan to do next. As for now, I think I've gotten you all intrigued to the point where I can just leave you in suspense. Cause that's exactly what I'm good at. Like my opponents at One Night in Hell, suspense has been the only thing that continues to shroud their curious minds. Of course, there's our tag team champions, the Dying Breed, that are more curious than anyone else. As you gentlemen should be after what happened last week. However, that is for later. I'm sure your...dying to know why the NewGen did what we did. Curiosity always did kill the cat. In your guys situation, curiosity is going to lose you the tag team titles.."
Hollywood says no more as he simply smiles deviously and winks at the camera as he slowly sits back into the shadows and is out of sight as all that can be heard is the rain falling outside..

10:00 AM
The scene opens up inside the Executive Office of Brian Hollywood. The doors to the office open quickly as Brian Hollywood, Niles Omega and Lukas Montana all rush into the office with urgency. Hollywood runs towards his computer and turns it on.
"I only hope our files haven't been compromised or were going to have some serious issues!" Hollywood exclaims.
The computer comes on with no problems as Hollywood quickly uploads the files from his password coded access terminal. Hollywood's eyes travel all over the screen as he types in the password.
"Let us hope that we weren't duped." Lukas says grumpily.
"Well with the massive ego you have, I completely understand why you wouldn't." Niles shoots at Lukas.
Lukas looks at Niles and gives him a nasty look and jabs back.
"I'm not the only one with an ego here you know. Hollywood has just a massive ego as I do. Difference between us is he's actually more prideful of his ego."
Hollywood looks at Lukas and stares at him coldly. Niles also stares a hole into Lukas as Lukas just smiles. Hollywood finally cracks a smile to Niles surprise and looks back at his computer screen.
"I love the moments where I don't even have to say anything." Hollywood brags.
Lukas smiles as Niles doesn't even say a word.
"Alright, now let's see if we still have our files where their supposed to be." Hollywood says with a sense of urgency.
Hollywood scrolls through the files as he begins to talk out loud.
"Alright Merrick Tracy, you better still be in here or were going to know exactly what we need to know."
Lukas is quick to dismiss any excitement that Hollywood has.
"I wouldn't get your hopes up, because there's his file."
Merrick Tracy's file appears center Hollywood's computer. Hollywood shakes his head as his smile vanishes from his face.
"Ok, what the hell is going on here?" Hollywood starts to say. "It sounds like we were tipped off! Why? Why..would that sensitive of information get leaked like that?! Who in their right mind could possibly know that?"
Hollywood is clearly frustrated. He sits in silence as he stares at a highly confidential file that somehow almost got compromised.
"But how?" Niles asks in wonderment.
Lukas doesn't seem at all surprised.
"Gentlemen, there is only one way a highly confidential file like this becomes conveniently public knowledge." Lukas begins to say. "That's only if the one person who would know this highly confidential file exists but us."
Hollywood nods his head as he starts to understand.
"Of course, Merrick Tracy himself, could be the only one to know his own file exists. However, why in the world would he compromise himself like that?"
All three men begin to think for a few moments before it hits Hollywood and hits him hard.
"Unless of course, we ourselves have just been compromised..."
All three men look at each other with a sense of shock as the scene slowly fades to black..

The Shoot
Heh, it comes as no surprise to me that everyone seems so shocked about the NewGen's actions last week. How does it feel to know you got played Dying Breed? I'm sure it's this deep rooted poison inside both of you that is just rotting inside isn't it? Jair Hopkins and Anthony Bailey, you guys got played! You should have seen the look of despair on both of your faces! It was brilliant if I do say so myself. How does it feel to know that your beloved gym now lies in ashes? Who could have ever thought that the NewGen could have antics like that? I wouldn't be surprised if you thought Jace couldn't as you all are getting your first look at the man with the truest of intentions. As for me? If you all thought that I couldn't ever be capable of an act like that, then I'm disappointed in you people! I have done some pretty shocking things in my career, but what transpired last week shouldn't be the one that tops everything else. You see, I'm just getting warmed up. NewGen is just getting warmed up!
You all have seen what Jace and I have done over the last couple of months. We have beaten some pretty tough contenders to get to where we are now. However, after we got here, we had to take things to the next level. This was always the plan. The plan you see before you was lurking deep waiting for the right time to be revealed to the world. NewGen is not the number one contender's for nothing. As a matter of a fact, we have done more lately than the Dying Breed or Unforgiven. Which brings me to my next point..
Why in God's name is the Unforgiven even in this match? Zachariah Blood and Sentinel, you two are by far the shittiest pieces of excuse APW has to offer. Who are you guys trying to kid? You might have thought you were kidding me when I first stepped foot in APW. Of course, let's just take a trip down memory lane shall we?
When I first stepped foot into APW, you two were the first two people standing in my way. You guys were so fucking arrogant too. You guys, being the best scum of the earth, walked around APW like you knew what you were talking about. I got assaulted by you. Hell, Chris Madison was as well. That was before Madison even knew what he was doing as well. We all saw what happened to Madison didn't we? He thought he was doing himself a favor when he joined the Black Hand. Well, fortunately for him, he got what he deserved. He thought he knew what he was doing as well. Looked how that turned out for him. He's not the one where NewGen is at right now. As a matter of a fact, Jace and I beat him and gave him what he deserved. Isn't it ironic, the two guys who thought I was nothing, is now in a fight for the APW Tag Team Championships against the man who was thought to be nothing to the likes of you? Well, take a good look Blood and Sentinel, I am standing once again in your path. Only this time, karma is a bitch! NewGen has done everything right to be here right now. We have overcome the tough contenders and the hardest fights to get a shot at the tag titles. What the hell have you two done? In perfect definition, not a damn thing! You guys haven't fought anyone worthy as of late and yet you two walk around babbling to the world how great you are. Let me put this to you bluntly, you aren't great. As a matter of a fact, all you two are is one big joke! A joke that will never be forgiven here in APW. You guys have always been worthless. You think you know everything, yet the both of you are always the furthest away from the truth. I can't wait to personally beat the shit out of both of you and beat you two back to irrelevancy! Exactly the place you two belong.
This match in Tokyo is a Japanese Death match. I'll let you two figure out just how fucked you really are. You know, my plans have been in the shadows for a long time now, and you have no idea how badly I've wanted to exact my revenge on you two. Finally, I get my chance to beat the holy hell out of you guys. Who would have thought, the guy who now stands in true form, would have ever been a threat? The joke is on you, Unforgiven. What I do to the both of you will be unforgiven. I expect this match to be as violent as it has been advertised. I expect this match to be a damn blood bath. After this match is over, nobody will be able to tell apart their own blood because there will be a pool of it all over the ring. You guys are way in over your heads if you are in the right mindset for a match of this caliber. Fortunately for Jace and myself, we are ready. We've been ready ever since we set our eyes on the APW tag team titles. We want to prove to everyone just why we deserve to be champions. I, too, have been waiting for the chance to prove everyone wrong. That is, of course, what I'm very good at doing.
In every single instant, no matter what I've done, I have always been taken for granted. I have always been underestimated. Well, once again, I have the opportunity to prove everyone wrong...AGAIN. What I don't understand is why people are constantly making the same mistake over and over and over again. It honestly baffles me how people could be so stupid. I don't understand how someone can't learn from their mistakes. Especially after it's been displayed for them thousands of times over! How many times do I have to prove people wrong?! All these people are doing is fueling Jace and I even more to win the tag titles. NewGen is the most hungry out of this match for the titles. Unforgiven just aren't worthy enough. Hell, they haven't even beat anyone worthy enough. The current champions, the Dying Breed, have their own problems to deal with right now. They have lost a step. Especially after what NewGen did to them last week. NewGen are the ONLY ones focused in this match. Jace and I are the only ones perfectly concentrated for this match. It's fitting too because we've been prepping ourselves for this match for months now. We've had our eyes fixed on the APW Tag Team Championships and we haven't taken our eyes off them. That should account for something. It WILL account for something. So go ahead...underestimate me again like I'm used to you all doing. I will one again prove you all wrong. I learn from my mistakes...apparently none of you do! Jace and I are prepared to take the plunge for what we acquire. That is why we are the most readied, most focused team in this match. I can't say the same for the tag champs..
Dying Breed, you guys have enough problems to worry about. How about, after Jace and I defeat you and become the new APW Tag Team Champions, you guys go and find a better place to build a new gym. Or you guys could just buy a cheap for shit rented gym and cower in your failures in there. You guys dropped the ball. The one thing you guys held dear and true now lays in rubble. I would apologize, but I wouldn't be sincere about it. As a matter of a fact, you guys have no one but yourselves to blame. If you loved that gym so much, why is it not there anymore? Personally, I think you guys have lost your touch. However, I can guarantee this, after One Night in Hell, you guys will lose more than just your gym and your pride. You guys will lose the APW tag titles to NewGen. You can BET that as an Executive Promise!
Hopkins, Bailey, Blood and Sentinel, come time for One Night in Hell, you will truly learn what despair really means. You all have everything to lose in this match. NewGen are ready as ever to take the APW Tag Team Championships. In what has seemed months of preparation, after it is all said and done, you'll be calling NewGen your NEW APW Tag Team Champions...you can guarantee that as an Executive Promise!
