(Jack Lane sits on a chair in a gym. Sweat drips from his face as he grabs a towel. Lane wipes the sweat from his face and flings the towel off camera as he begins to speak.)
Lane: Pantaro, pride can get the best of us sometimes but this isn’t one of those times. Looking back at what I said to you I can admit that I was wrong about you pinning me. I was so ANGRY about the situation I wasn’t careful with my words and for that..... I apologize. But that is the ONLY thing I apologize for!
You want me to shake your hand if you beat me? No problem, my man. If you beat me then I will have no problem with that. But you and I know that’s not gonna happen, right? You make think I’m “Insane in the Membrane” but I’ve got it all together. Go back and watch the match again, Pantaro. Go back and check how the referee immediately called for the bell as I was BREAKING your Mexican Surfboard!! It’s all good though......
(Lane stands and walks towards the camera.)
Lane: The bottom line is that I accept your challenge!! You and I will go one on one to see just who is the best. No excuses, just results. It may not seem like it but I do have respect for you Pantaro. You stepped up to the plate and you’re willing to put the title on the line like a champion. I respect that a lot. It’s just too bad you won’t be able to walk out of our match as champion because I’m going to prove to the WORLD that the best wrestler on the PLANET isn’t Pantaro, it’s Jack Lane! Respect is the name of the game and when we meet I’m gonna get my RESPECT!!

Looking Bigger -- Calling out the Champ
A video plays showing highlights of the Career vs Mask match at Rise of Kings. It finishes with Snow pinning Beckett, followed by Beckett's tantrum as he is led out of the arena.
SNOW:
At Rise of Kings, I did what I set out to do. I took Brawler Beckett on in this ring, and proved that hard work and clean wrestling can beat the cheap shots and shortcuts. I pinned him in the middle of the ring.
I ended his career.
Some might ask why I'm not celebrating more. After all, that was the whole point of my contention with Bart Beckett, wasn't it? Those people are missing the point. I never wanted this. It was not my goal when PWA started to kick him out of the company. Beckett has loads of skill and talent, I just don't approve of how he uses it. My goal in this whole thing wasn't to end a man's career. No, it was to reform the man.
And in that...I failed. I fell back upon removing him instead of working harder to reform him. Am I happy that I won? Of course. But I'm disappointed in the results nonetheless.
Still.
Now that Beckett is gone, it is time for me to set my next goal. What should my next goal be?
The PWA Light Heavyweight Championship, of course, right? I mean, Pantaro is my friend, and he'd give me a shot at the gold in a heartbeat. Well, that may be, but that's not how I want to get the title. If I get it around my waist, I want to have earned my shot, not had it handed to me. Pantaro and I may well put on a barn burner in the future, but for now, it pains me to admit, there are those who are more deserving of the title chance. Jack Lane put on a hell of a show at Rise of Kings, and with him wanting a one on one shot? I honestly cannot wait to see that match.
So, what else? The PWA Tag Team Championship...except, of course, Pantaro is, as I have previously noted, somewhat busy. There may come a day when the Blood Brothers take on Armageddon, or the Coldsnakes, or someone else, and win Tag Team gold. But that day is not today.
But there is another belt in PWA. I'm not going to try to win the Heavyweight championship for oh so many reasons. But there appears to be a bit of a logjam in determining who the number one contender is going to be, and while that sorts itself out, it appears that Kevin Starr may be in much the same situation I am. So, let it be known right here and right now -- Snow is calling out Kevin Starr.
Look, I'm not asking for a title shot. I'm not even asking for the shot if I somehow manage a win. I'm looking for a fun bout with nothing on the line, something to cleanse the spirit. Champion versus...well, me, I guess. What do you say, Kevin? Fancy a little challenge?

Searching for Nakamura....
(The scene opens at night with Brian Fury leaning against a brick wall. A lone street light shines on Fury as he speaks.)
Fury: Rise of Kings...that was the night I planned on winning the World Title. That was going to be the night that everything I worked for all these years payed off. All of the broken bones, all the blood, all the sacrifice....all of it was leading me to the World Title. But I’m not the champion, Kevin Starr is.
Kevin, I’ll let you know right now that I’m going to be the man that takes that title from you! You’re looking at the most DOMINANT man in all of professional wrestling! But before I get to you Kevin, I need to take care of some business with Yamasaki Nakamura.
I BEAT Nakamura in our tournament match.....let me say that again.... I LEFT NO DOUBT that I was better than Nakamura!! During Rise of Kings, as I was taking people out left and right he snuck up behind me and used an illegal choke to knock me out. So now I want some payback....
Nick Spoils, let’s get right to it: Nakamura and I are the two best brawlers in PWA. He’s a tough guy, no question. But I’m calling Nakamura OUT! I want Nakamura in a barb wire match!! He’s been in my way too long so just let us fight and get it over with. To get closer to Starr I need to eliminate Nakamura anyway so why not kill two birds with one stone? The only thing is I will put Nakamura out of this sport FOR GOOD!!
Spoils, what’s it gonna be? Does Nakamura have the GUTS to face me or is he gonna find an excuse? PWA doesn’t have to even sanction the bout. Just get him in the ring with me and I’ll do the rest....
( Fury steps back and fades into the darkness as the scene fades.)

Re: Searching for Nakamura....
Nick Spoils sits calmly at a desk, an array of paperwork in front of him. He sits silently for a long moment, looking directly at the camera.
NICK:
Brian, you and I go way back. I've said this before, but I harbor no hard feelings whatsoever for what went down with Jimmy and you back in the day. Business is business, after all, and one must let bygones be bygones. The fact of the matter, Brian, is that I like you. You were everything I look for in a competitor when I am scouting new talent. You were the total package, and your catch phrase is absolutely brilliant.
But did you know that in that battle royal, you made history? You were the first man in nearly a decade to lose to him. The last time someone lost to Nakamura? It was in an unsanctioned barbed wire match over in Japan. See, when the rules go out the window, and even more so when the environment itself is a weapon? Well, it's at those points that Yamasaki Nakamura is at his best. It is at those points that he simply cannot be defeated.
Worse than that, though, is that you got off lightly. The last man that Nakamura defeated hasn't wrestled another day in his life. I checked into his welfare when I was looking up the statistics on your defeat. As of two months ago, he was alive, but he was still in a wheelchair and breathing tubes. And it turns out, I actually do have a conscience. I know, I was surprised too.
Because of that, and for the sake of our past together, I simply cannot allow your challenge to be accepted. Nakamura understands where I am coming from, and while he nearly spit shards of glass at me when I explained it, he accepted my...more moderate proposal. Now it falls on you.
The carnage you seek will still make the ring red, Fury. Blood will be spilled. But instead of there being barbed wire lining the ring, let's make the match just a little more survivable for you. Let's just do a simple no disqualification match. We'll allow the two of you to go to town on each other--and unless I miss my guess, you'll both bring a weapon or two into play regardless. What do you say, Brian? Yamasaki Nakamura faces off against Brian Fury in a No Disqualification match. Bring your own weapon. Balls in your court.

Re: Searching for Nakamura....
(Gary Bloomfield is in the PWA offices with his camera crew. As they head towards a studio with their equipment they see Brian Fury lurking in the hallway. Bloomfield motions for his crew to start filming.)
Bloomfield: Mr. Fury, may I have a moment of your time?
Fury: Make this REAL quick, Gary. I’m not in the mood to talk today.
Bloomfield: Sure thing. Did you hear the reply from Nick Spoils regarding your challenge to Yamasaki Nakamura?
Fury: Yeah I heard him.....and I accept. Nakamura’s MINE! It’s a shame Nick Spoils is a coward though. All this talk about how tough Nakamura is....what a bunch of CRAP! Let it be known that when Brian Fury called out the most DANGEROUS man in PWA he went crying to his manager and asked him to tone down the match!
(Fury turns towards the camera.)
Fury: Nakamura, all I need is you in front of me. Bell or no bell, ring or no ring, barb wire or no barb wire, I’m gonna put you in a body bag. No tap out for you....no knockout for you either.....JUST PAIN!!
(Fury storms past Gary Bloomfield and out of the door as the scene fades to black.)

Rising Starr
*At the beginning of a Mardi-Gras-style parade in New Orleans, Start is waiting next to an extravagant float*
Starr: Now this is why I cheer for the Saints. They set up a whole parade for me, to celebrate my championship! Woo!
And a champ with as much talent, as much power, or as much skill as me deserves a celebration like this! I proved at Rise of Kings when I outlasted every other man there to win this beautiful belt that I am the only one in PWA worthy of this title!
But now, here comes Snow, claiming to want to prove himself by callenging me. Watcha gonna do, flyboy? Run around the ring, bouncing like a pinball off of me and the ropes? Sure, sure. That'll work for a little while. Until I catch you. You can do anything you want, but none of it matters. You're going against a man you is superior to you mentally and physically. You don't have a chance, Snow.
*someone calls Starr, and he turns to the float and climbs on*
But look at the bright side! You get to be in a match with the one, the only, the CHAMPION, Kevin Starr! WOO!!

Shooting on Starr
TERRY SCHNEIDER: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here outside the backstage infirmary with Robert MacElroy, now Robert ... we just saw Snow, who I understand is inside the infirmary right now, was given a vicious beating by the current champion, Kevin Starr, after an exhibition bout. Do you know if he is alright?"
ROBERT MACELROY: "Tearry, from wha' Aye've hearrrd, Snow's leag is mourre'n a wee bit tendearr after tha' figure feaurr and the followin' ceaurrb-stompin' he got. The doc's yet te sea wheatherr ourr no he's te be teakin' tyme ou' fourrr healin', but Aye think he'll be arrright. None tha leass, I'd arsk allotha fans te keep 'in in yearr thought and prearrs, as thas is nae the fearrat tyme he's been gi'n souch trreatmeant as thas."
TERRY: "Well, fortunately for Snow, you were near at hand when the champion began his-"
MAC: "Champ- champion, is it? Tearry, 'champion' is a mannearr of carryin' yearrseal, nae joust winnin' a bealt! Thas ... thas issa desgrrreasse, man! Thas ... (turns to face camera) Starrr, Aye hope yearr pean attaention, baiy! If THAS is yourr notion o' prreseantin' championship beheavioirre, i's seaurrely lackin', man! An' if it's a leasson yearr're neadin', Aye'm joust tha man fourret!"
