“It was supposed to be a moment that would go down in REIGN history. “
“The signing of such a legend. The Face of the Franchise; Steve Awesome was a dream addition to any roster.”
You can see a shady view of a reenactment of Steve Awesome’s REIGN debut as the crowd roared with excitement.
“But that dream quickly turned into a nightmare.”
An actor playing Zoran lurked in the shadows with an evil glare.
“Zoran Sainovic appeared and committed his own special brand of a public massacre before Steve could say a word.”
The Zoran Impersonator repeatedly stabs the Steve actor countless times and the blood splatters onto the screen forming a title.
The Shady Side of the Ring with Brent Sampson.
Crossing The Boss
“There was just so much blood.”
Zelda Knite said, as she finally started to open up to Brent about the incident heard around the world.
“Like more blood than you'd expect a human being to lose and not die…”
“So Steve is going to live?”
It took awhile for Zelda to respond. She had been staring out the window the entire car ride.
“If you call that living.”
Brent sighs.
“Zelda, why are you being so vague? Why can’t you tell me how Steve is?”
Zelda still didn’t turn away from the window but Brent could see the tears in her eyes.
“How many times do I have to go through the same tragedy, Brent?”
She shook her head.
“You’ll see when we get to the hospital.”

When the REIGN fans were buying their tickets they had no idea what surprises were in store. They knew that REIGN delivered cutting edge action but perhaps what they got that night was a little more than they bargained for. Especially those fans in the first three rows that have been named “the splash zone”. I was able to interview a few fans after the show.
Some of the fans were thrilled.
We cut to a fan standing in a white shirt that was stained pink. He was grinning ear to ear.
Happy Fan: Man! You come for the kick ass action and you get a FREAKIN BLOOD BATH!! I LOVE REIGN WOOOOO!!!
The guy headbangs and holds up the metal horns.
“…and some fans weren’t so thrilled.”
We cut to an angry mother holding a blood soaked baby.
Angry Mother: “…I really don’t think we will be coming back to one of these shows…”
“But one thing remained clear throughout the interviews, they thought maybe Zoran took it too far…”
We cut back to the happy fan
Happy Fan: Though I will say, as cool as it was, that was brutal for Steve. I have never been a huge fan of Steve but you never want to see a man get wheeled on a stretcher.
Angry Mother: I just hope that handsome Steve Awesome fellow will be okay after that heinous attack. If he needs some help healing up give him my number and when my husband isn’t around-
Off camera: Let’s go Helen.
Angry mother winks into the camera and mouths for Steve to call her.
Angry Mother: Coming dear.
Next we see what is obviously a Zoran fan. We can tell by his shirt of choice.
Zoran Fan: We all knew the Final Boss would come for Steven. I was counting down the days before Zoran would return and avenge himself for the loss at Battle of Hegemony.
The fan sighs, remorse was in his eyes.
“But after the eightieth or ninety fifth chain whip I really had to stop and wonder what I was really cheering for?”
A girl with tear soaked eyes faces the camera now.
Shook Girl: “Honestly, it was kind of traumatic. There were people cheering for all that blood. I mean like Steve or not he has a family. Children that depend on him. Zoran really tried to take that all away in front of our eyes tonight…”
The girl stops and breaks down into tears and cries into her palms.

“We arrived at the hospital at around 3:15pm. I followed Zelda since she knew the way. She had tread these halls many times already.
As we traveled up to the room, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread. Nobody really knew the extent of the injuries and since Zelda didn’t want to talk about it, this would be the first time I’d be seeing Steve since the Zoran assault.
Zelda stopped in front of the door and looked at me.
“You sure you want to go in here?”
I nodded but I wasn’t sure at all. What was I about to see?
Zelda
Sloowwwwwlllllllyyyyyy
Opens
The
Door…
“Sup?”
“What the hell?
Zelda cries.
“He’s a hideous freak of nature!!”
Just like the picture implied, Steve Awesome sat in a wheelchair bandaged almost completely with only his thumbs and toes sticking out. Somehow he still managed to have his sunglasses on.
Zelda continues to cry.
“He’s ugly and disfigured and now everyone at work won’t be jealous of how hot my boyfriend is…”
Steve presses a little button on his chair and he rolls forward to try and console her.
“Hey come on Z, I’m still hot. I mean I’m just a little banged up, but I’m getting better. Check it out, I’m already doing my rehab exercises.”
He slowly moves his thumb up and down.
“Seriously you guys, I’m okay. I’m definitely ready to get back into the ring at the next reign show.”
He moves ever so slightly in the wrong direction.
Steve makes a terrible sound and his whole body shakes.
*grrrohhowwwhohoo*
Red starts to stain the bandages on his back.
“Umm, maybe I’ll rest for a few more days, then I’ll be ready to get back to work.”
Zelda shook her head.
“Are you crazy? You just got blood letted by a maniac!”
“I agree with Zelda. Steve, you really shouldn’t be thinking about getting back in the ring so soon. Especially that fatal four way in Gonpachi.”
Despite his current condition he still tried to argue.
“Listen, I bet from your standpoint this all looks way worse than it actually is. But I’m telling you, I’ll be ready to go for that match. I mean, what kind of Face of the Franchise would I be if I missed my own debut match?”
“I mean sure, I may be a little sore during the match. Some of my opponents might mistake my current injuries as a weakness like Aiden Merric the hunter or EVK who totally has a crush on me or Donzig or Girl Donzig. But the Face of the Franchise is going to pull through. I’m going to walk into the Gonpachi Gauntlet, beat the entire roster in my first match, I’m going to take the very legendary and extremely honorable and prestigious…..pu-row-ru plate or whatever the fuck it’s called..because that’s what champions DO!
With just the mere raise of his voice.
His bandaged body quivers in pain.
*grrrohhowwwhohoo*
The bandages on his chest slowly stain red.
“Besides…”
Steve said, his voice choked with the pain he was pretending he didn’t have. He cleared his throat.
“Even if I were “half dead”, all three of those idiots would still need to be double alive to beat me.”
Zelda crotch chops the camera.
“Thanks sweetie.”
“Your welcome babe.”
Steve sticks his thumb up.
“And I’m just going to say that I’m entering and winning the Rumble next month as well. So not only will I show everyone that I’m totally okay when I win the amazing and illustrious pepperoni plate, but I’m also going to take REIGN to the top of the charts when I win the Rumble and become the next XCrown Champion!”
“Because like I said, I’m okay. I’m totally okay and ready to get back on track because I’m okay. No big deal over here. You know? Because I’m completely okay. I’m gonna bounce right back from all this like nothing happened because I’m okay.”
I was starting to get a bit of a hunch, ….that maybe things weren’t okay.
“Maybe you should just slow down a minute there Steve…”
“No, it’s okay. Merric will fall into my trap. EVK will be a lot more than love struck, and Donzig and company will always be at least one tier below me at all times. And I will show everyone that old man didn’t do shit and I am fuckin OKAY!”
Even though he was bandaged up I could still see him wince, expecting the pain again. He seemed pretty happy when nothing happened. He gave a quick thumbs up.
“I’ll be in Gonpachi, I’ll be at the Rumble, I’ll kick all the asses, and entertain alllll the masses, all the way to the top.”
“And once I get going, nothing will stop me.”
He slowly nods his head.
He stiffens up.
*grrrohhowwwhohoo*
His abdomen turns blood red.
“…ooh we’re gonna need more gauze.”
