A montage of shots display cityscapes, the countryside, small villages, suburbs and beach fronts. Empty alleys and damp rooftops are displayed visually for the audience to ponder the meaning of these moments. A few familiar abandoned warehouses and studios are shown before finally showing the silhouette of a man. The man is inaudible but the voice sounds familiar to some.
[/center]Man: APW. I will say that you are significantly less of a waste of time and energy than other federations. You aren’t AS corrupt, you aren’t as vile, but a little poop in your mouth as apposed to a lot of poop in your mouth still leaves you with poop in your mouth. Narcissistic douchebagery seems to be a prerequisite to be employed here in APW. With the addition of the “experts” it just seems like an additional way to inflate egos that are already on the verge of popping. I don’t know. Level One is talented, but who the hell actually likes him? He isn’t creative no matter how hard he tries to be, but at the very least he is a decent person in the standards of this business. I unfortunately hold myself to higher standards. I made the mistake once of holding myself to the standards of this business and its brought nothing but pain to me and my family. I HATE this business. Many of these organizations and federations popped up because fanboys were sick and tired of the watered down WWE but at least they have some ethics and standards. In small time companies like UHF, WFWF, EWC, APW, AFRWF and so many others the “strong survive”. The corrupt survive. I mean, a former APW champion was stabbed, stabbed, and little was done. I mean, that guy who stabbed Sabur, talk abou the lowest of the low. I could go on, but I know who you want me to talk about. You want me to talk about the tag champions. That’s how this works isn’t it? Well they are pathetic. They are hardly deserving of any recognition and they are definitely not entertaining enough to be featured on a card twice. They still are going to be in two matches right? I don’t know I don’t pay attention to these things. I don’t pay attention to anything related to these two guys because they don’t matter. I can’t even tell you what their names are. I honestly don’t know. I know that I’ve seen them wrestle from time to time, but I mean, they suck, they make me , someone who honestly used to love this game as a sport, want to read, or watch Law and Order. They make me want to do something completely different. I’m getting way too old for this now. Especially since the drama of this business doesn’t end when the cameras turn off. It only just begins. Sigh, no, I don’t care who wins the tag match because if it was up to me, APW would close. Maybe then I could have my brother back. Just maybe. Yes, I know we’ve had some tough times, but I love him very much, and I was so DAMNED close to getting him back before BDC came back. And as I said before, I have no idea where James is, or, Link, whatever you people want to call him.
APW Cameraman: Hey Adam Atom, thanks for your time. If Link contacts you or you have any ideas of where he might be we will greatly appreciate it. Thanks man.
Adam: Its just Adam now, Adam Carter. Thanks for being polite. Good luck.

APW fades back in to show a young man wearing a Michael Lively shirt standing outside of a stadium about to see an APW house show. He addresses himself as Will.
[/center]Will: First let me say that I LOVE APW and that it is by far a superior product to any other federation or organization out there. The drama, intrigue, the storylines the spots, everything is great. I mean, you’ve got some of the greatest talent there, and as much as you hate Max Carter or President Jeff, those guys are genius.
APW: Who is your favorite superstar?
Will: Its actually Link, he is very different, he isn’t just about the wrestling and the fighting, but he is intelligent. He gets into the heads of his oppenants and doesn’t back down from anything.
APW: Why are you wearing a Lively shirt?
Will: Oh I love the JESUS. He is probably my 2nd favorite. Very close 2nd though. I would wear a Link shirt but there are none. Apprently he doesn’t like there to be any merchandise of him for APW to make money off of. Hey whats this all about? Are you making a Link dvd?
APW: No. Link didn’t turn in any videos this week and we are making one for him. We can’t find him. We haven’t heard from him in awhile. Hell its unlike him to just no show.
Will: I’m going to Carnage and I KNOW Link will lead Retribution Inc. to victory!
APW: Well that remains to be seen, as does he.
Will: Well with Link gone let me say a few words on his behalf. Rick Stevens, the chink without being a chink.
APW: Hey, kid, you can’t say stuff like that. We have Asian and Asian American audiences, that’s not appropriate.
Will: Oh shit. My bad. Street Wilson, you faggot.
APW: HEY! C’mon kid, Link wouldn’t talk like that. Where do you get off?
Will: Look man, I am Will “The THRILL” Jackson and no one talks to me like that. So, Streets, Stevens, prepare to lose, because you both suck dic…
Transmission cut.

APW Representative: Look, we don’t know where Link is, or in what sort of state he is in. We know that he will be at Carnage because if he isn’t he is fired. We know that the match will take place and it will be first. It will be the only APW title defended at this PPV. Please excuse the behavior of Link for not addressing you all in the recent month. Perhaps he doesn’t care about you or anyone else.

The air is hard and cold, the sky is dark. The clouds are weeping heavy drops of tears that turn the grassy knoll into a muddy landscape. A man kneels before two gravestones, clinching his fists. He screams out “What am I supposed to be?!” Thunder and lightening crash upon the scene. The man proclaims. “I don’t know what to do anymore. I wish you were here. I miss you so much. Give me a sign”
[/center]From behind him a mans voice rings deep and clear.
[/center]Man: Get up Link, we’ve got work to do.
At that moment, Link turns around from the grave and a look of shock and horror covers his face.
[/center]Link: It can’t be…
