*The lights go black and blue and red strobes circle the arena. The Xtremetron flashes Obey the Master of Puppets! ECF 4 Life! The speakers blast DT yelling, ECF . . . FOR LIFE! The opening guitar solo of "Wont Back Down" by Fuel blares through the speakers. The tron shows segments of DT hitting his various finishers on opponents. As the first verse starts, Death Trap steps out onto the ramp in his Death Trap Obey the Master of Puppets shirt and shades. He has on his favorite black hat and is carrying Homer, his lucky bat. He has on his blue and red striped leather pants. He has on black boots and grapple gloves. He gives the Final Judgment sign and triggers a huge pyrotechnic chain reaction as the chorus hits.
The tron shows in big bold green letters "Final Judgment will be passed!". The lights brighten. He walks to the ring and takes off the hat, shirt, and shades, and drops the bat. He steps to the center of the ring and his arms in a cross. He then gives the Final Judgment sign again and sets off one final pyrotechnic eruption.*
: Well the rumble is fast approaching and this seems like the perfect time to come out for Part Two of my segment. Rumble In Review!
*cheers*
: The XHF Rumble. A match consisting of every fighter on the active roster excluding the champ and #1 contender. Plus there are bound to be a few surprises and returns from injuries, rookies, whatnot. So there is really no exact count. There could be 20, 30, 100! We don't know that. But however many people are in that ring Sunday night . . . that's how many dreams get torn to shreds, save one. One person LIVES every man's dream.
*He pauses trying to think of how to put this*
: You see . . . a win at the rumble is NOT the goal for every man believe it or not. It may seem like that being such a big event, proving you were the best man in that ring. But . . . alas . . . it just doesn't work that way. You could have a good day or just be good at tossing people over the ropes or whatever. The thing is, it doesn't require all that much skill, all that much intelligence, not that much of anything. You need endurance, will, and a little bit of luck. But that is not the essence of wrestling. The rumble is not the big match, the big goal . . . the rumble is simply a gateway . . . or more like a means of transportation. It is simply the carriage to bring you to that pinnacle. That level . . . It is simply another large obstacle in the path, a mountain to climb, a puppet to master . . .
*cheers*
: To lose the rumble means you wait another year for another shot, and it is not by ANY means a bad thing to never win one in your career. But to win one gives you an opportunity. Winning isn't the reward, it's the contest. To get to that final round. The whole reason for competing is to try to get to that final round because if you can you will be remembered. People may never remember you, or they may, if you lose. If you win . . . you go to the biggest stage of them all. You get an automatic insert into that main event slot . . .at Night of Champions! To be in the main event is one milestone of a career. The rumble is only one path, there are two that lead there however so getting there is GREAT! But not the perfect reward. No we all enter that rumble because only two other people get shots at it the other way, and they go into that main event automatically the top dog. No you see the REAL peak of a career, the crowning achievment, is to BE VICTORIOUS at NOC. To walk out as the XHF CHampion at NOC forever immortalizes your name in both the history books and in people's hearts because you won at Night of Champions. You are a Champion of Champions. That my friends is why we fight.
*cheers galore*
: And for my example I look back in the books. I go back to last year to February 23rd at XHF RUmble in the Jungle 2003. Last year one man achieved the greatest feat ever. A man who was relatively known but not by any means a legend. A man walked into that rumble with his theme music as the lone man in the ring, as entry number one. This man went on to go through hell and over an hour later emerged as the victor. Now that was great, now we'd never forget that man's name. Scorpion.
*mixed reaction*
: Wait! That man Scorpion would be remembered. A rumble winner, a great fighter. But you see that isn't the best you can do. He went on to Night of Champions 2. He went on to TAKE that XHF Championship. And now his name is forever known as the great Scorpion, XHF LEGEND! You see no matter how much he falls he is that. It can never be erased. Look at him now. A fallen man, he hasn't fought in so long. He came back with a group of people that we associate their names with scum! He came back as trash and failed and isn't even IN the rumble this year, or so he says. Yet we still look back. Whenever anyone mentions his name . . . we remember that rumble victory, that success, the time when he was THE best, untouchable! You associate him with the top in history. You associate him with high profile names. You always call him the legend. Now he can be the lowest of scum in the worst of condition and in no shape to even come close to winning but you still call him a legend. The rumble opens that door to give you a shot at that opportunity to be among those names. Scorpion, Hanz, Reeshi, and Mongo. The four NOC Main Eventers.
*cheers*
: Now to win this rumble means you face the champ at NOC3! And there are two possible people who that could be. My personal pick to WIN is Will Spencer. Now this guy shows a ton of potential and has proven it to me and everyone in the back after dealing with Reeshi, Rat, Rage, and Scorps. He has taken beating after beating and climbed the ranks to the top. From what I see he has everything he needs. I think with all he's done lately he will overcome the other man and be the fifth different main eventer at Night of Champions. And since Scorpion, Hanz, and Mongo are no longer with us, one way or another, we are assured at least one new man in that spot. Will can make it two and I think he will. And I'm sure everyone would love to see him make it there as a crowning achievement to the excellent month he's had with his wife and everything. Spencer is good and all but the only thing is he's never been on a spot of this magnitude. Should he make it will he be able to handle the magnitude of NOC3? Now I've been on the biggest stage of them all in other feds, in fact Ive been on the main event of an ECF v EWO career on the line thing, plus an ECF NOC show! Then there's UWCF, UNDEFEATED CHAMPION! I know how to handle these type of events and granted this is THE big one I still have that experience. And if it ends up with me vs. Spencer if we both win, it should be an exciting match but I think the fact that I have more experience in the big shows may make a difference, then again it may not. But I don't care . . . if I face him I will have to show him that he wasn't ready.
*cheers*
: But then there is what everybody REALLY wants to see. And that is a classic event that has happened but never on a stage of this magnitude with these stakes and without a compromised ending. What everyone REALLY wants to see is a TRUE ending to this feud . . . They want, and I want, Night of Champions 3, Main Event, XHF Championship on the line, One on One, Death Trap vs. Reeshi! ONE LAST TIME! The biggest feud of the last year never really did come to a close Reeshi, you dodged the bullet. There was never any definite results! I want to prove to everyone that I am the better man, that I was the real winner here Reeshi. And I will win that rumble to get that shot at NOC3. And Reeshi, I may not think you can win, BUT I REALLY DAMN SURE HOPE YOU DO! because I want to BEAT YOUR ASS in that ring, in the biggest event of them all, in the main event, for that belt that we all strive for, one on one! I want to show you that I am a real champion. I don't care if I have to go through 300 men in that ring Reeshi I WILL NEVER QUIT! And if you lose before I take that victory I will be pissed but I will still end it. Reeshi . . . you and I both know this has to end sometime, and it never will until we get definite results.
*cheers*
: The fans want to see the Master of Puppets conquer the beast known as the XHF Rumble. They want to see Reeshi versus Death Trap at NOC3! They want to see me kick your ass all over. They want to relive the torment you went through. Don't remember? Take a look!
: Wait it gets better, let's take a look later in the match.
: That is what happened when we last met. I countered you every step and took you out. You couldn't end it Reesh. And whether it's you, or Spencer, one of you will be meeting me and taking that punishment again at NOC3! That rumble is not just a means of transport, it's MY MEANS! AND I Plan to take it!
*Death Trap grabs his stuff and dresses up again. He raises his arms in a cross as the chorus of Wont Back Down hits. The tron flashes clips of DT winning matches in all his feds and raising the title for each match high. Pyros go off. He walks to the crowd and high fives some fans. He gives the Final Judgment sign setting more pyros off. He leaps into the crowd. At the exit at the top row he raises his arms into a cross as he exits.*
"I wont back down
I will not drown
And I cant forget things you did
I've come to bring you hell"
I will not drown
And I cant forget things you did
I've come to bring you hell"

***The fans boo towards Reeshi who picks up Death Trap and strikes with a kick to the gut, setting him up for the Coral Reesh but for the second time this match it does not connect, Death Trap flips Reeshi over his back and onto the steel! Death Trap himself drops to one knee as well, as he picks up Reeshi and drags him over towards one of the steel pillars stretching across the top of the cell. He lays out Reeshi over the pillar, his lower back going over it his upper hangs over one end and his lower body the other. Death Trap turns him over and with him over the pillar, Death Trap has the Oblivion locked in!
Tommy: Reeshi's going to tap here!
Reeshi is on top of that cell with nobody to save him, nowhere to go, he's stuck in the Oblivion and Death Trap is not letting go! Eventually the screams become softer as Reeshi looks like he's fading away. Death Trap has nearly knocked out the Champion as he releases the hold.***
*tron pauses*

***Reeshi has sat up on top of the cell and Death Trap is pulling himself up to all fours. Both men get up and do so at about the same time. Reeshi strikes with a kick to the gut but this time not hooking the arms for a Coral Reesh, instead he perches him up on his shoulders for an Oreeshinator! Reeshi goes to take him down with it when Death Trap slides off his shoulders, kick to the gut of his own and then picks Reeshi up onto his shoulders in the fireman's carry. Death Trap spins him around, One of a Kind! Reeshi is sent off the top of the cell with the on of a kind, and strikes the cconnecting tunnel, his stomach over top with his head hanging over one end, and his feet over the other. The steel doesn't give, Reeshi hits with a thud! His insides must to be broken in half! Almost immediately the blood begins to pour from the mouth of the champion, he's in a bad way, still just hanging there, draped over the tunnel as Death Trap now stands a top the cell, in disbelief!***
