*We open at Clockwork Bar, a storied punk rock bar & music club with an edgy backdrop of graffiti-covered walls & booths located in New York City. The bar is packed with people who are all enjoying the current concert being put on by a local rock band, trying to make a name for themselves in the music business. Sitting in a far both all alone is Sam Harris, drinking a Jack and Coke as he scans the crowd. Even though he is enjoying himself he is unfortunately there to work, just an observation job tonight as he has been tasked to watch the head body guard of Antonino Romano's brother Santino. His observation lead him to this bar where he has been the last two hours as he watches his target sit at a table not to far away with a couple good looking women, he heavily flirts with both women who don't seem to mind as they both flirt back. Sam has been able to pick up bits and pieces of the man's conversation, learning that his name is infact Hank, and that he recently won big money betting on a horse race. A gambler...Sam shakes head as he sits back and removes a cigarette from the pack sitting on the table. He lights it and takes a deep drag, releasing it a few moments later then takes a drink from his glass. Gambling can be one Hell of an addiction, Sam wasn't sure how bad Hank was but he knew that it was gambling that got him in this line of work. Sam takes another hit off his cigarette as he thinks back to the beginning of all this and how his life ALMOST came to an end...both professionally and literally. *

*Sam sits tied to a chair, his left eye his swelled shut and has various cuts and bruises on his face obviously from taking a beating to the face. He looks over at his captors with his good eye and sees them in the corner arguing between themselves, during the beating they weren't to impressed when Sam told them that he was a wrestler for the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance but they were impressed...or maybe more afraid when he told them that Senester was the owner of said wrestling promotion and wouldn't appreciate them injuring one of his wrestlers. They immediately stopped with looks of shock on their faces, Sam had to hold back with all his might from bursting out in laughter. Since that little revelation the two stooges have been in the corner arguing, that is until HE arrived. Antonio Romano came waltzing in like he owned the joint and the sight of him made the two goons quickly stiffle their argument and they just stood there like statues. Antonio approached the men as he reached into his pocket and pulled out an sealed envelope, handing it to them as he smiled. Being a constant gambler Sam knew what that envelope was, he's seen it to many times over the years as he's won on various nights of gambling. Not only did he know what that was but what it meant, Antonio Romano just paid of his debt and now he owes someone in the Italian Mob. After the payment was made Sam was cut free and he and Antonio left, and while grateful to be alive Sam couldn't help but be nervous to what now may lay ahead of him....*
*Sam is jolted from his memory by the loud giggles of the two now drunken women as they get up with Hank and start to head towards the exit. Sam quickly finishes his drink, putting the glass back down and sighs deeply. *
Sam: This is going to be a long night...
*Sam gets up and makes his way towards the exit as well, making sure to not lose them in the busy New York streets. *

*The scene opens to Riot walking the streets of New York city, admiring the buildings and the various sights of the massive city as he makes his way through the streets. Feeling a bit hungry Riot stops at a hotdog stand and orders himself a hotdog and a cold drink. Riot pays for his food and as he waits he can't help but smile as he thinks back to his debut at Bash at the Beach, Rukia put up one hell of a fight but in the end it was he that had his arm raised in victory. Now in his second match which will be at Nitro he's taking on Sebastian Truegrove, the man who competed for the WCW United States title at the Bash but came up short against Jamie Kennedy.*
Riot: Sebastian Truegrove...
*The hotdog vendor hands Riot his hotdog and drink which Riot thanks him for and continues down the sidewalk with his hotdog in one hand and drink in the other. He takes a bite from his hotdog as he walks before beginning to speak.*
Riot: Well, what a pay per view huh? First off I'd like to once again thank Rukia Tachibani for that great match, it was an honor and privilege to be your first professional opponent and I would also be honored if you wanted to step in the ring again. Next I'd like to congratulate Mantaur on winning the WCW Hardcore title as well as Jamie Kennedy on winning the WCW United States title, and of course congrats to Sean Parker on winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Hold onto it as long as you can Sean, I'll be coming for that beauty before you know it.
*Riot winks and laughs, then takes a drink.*
Riot: Speaking of the United States title...Sebastian looks like you came up a bit short huh? I'm not one to kick a guy when he's down but you did lose to Jamie Kennedy, don't get me wrong I'm a fan of Jamie but he's an actor and you lost to him. I know what you're going to say, "At least I was in a title match". Yeah, you got me there but my counter argument to that would be the fact that you've been here longer...that and at least I won my match.
*Riot finishes his hotdog and drink then dumps his trash in a nearby trashcan, after that he pulls out a cigarette and lights it, taking a few drags off of it before continuing. *
Riot: I look forward to this match Sebastian, like I told Rukia losing isn't an option for me. I'm on the hunt for some WCW gold, not just any gold but the World Heavyweight Championship to be specific and if that means going through you like I did Rukia to get it then I will do so without prejudice. With that being said, also like I told Rukia I'm not out for blood or anything like that Sebastian. I want a clean match, however with you that maybe easier said than done. I'm well aware of your in ring tactics Sebastian, you know you kind if remind me of my friend Maniac. Good guy, just a bit unstable and like you he doesn't mind taking short cuts or bending the rules to his advantage. However with that comes problems, you see Sebastian while you're looking for the next short cut or what rule you can bend I'm getting my second wind and when I do that I'm on the attack. I'm going to be all over you like flies on shit, punching, kicking, kneeing you whatever it takes. The riot is here Sebastian, spreading chaos all throughout the WCW and unfortunately for you come Nitro you'll be swallowed up by it just like Rukia did and you too will soon realize there's no stopping it.
