A Winnebago pulls into the building. The door opens and out steps Eli Buchanan, followed closely behind by his manager, Dave Flynn. The two can be heard chatting as Becky Chande approaches.
"Excuse me, Eli. I was hoping to get a few comments."
"Ok, but let's make this quick, Chande. I have to meet up with Carl and get ready for our match."
"That's what I wanted to ask you about. When the match was announced last week you had less than kind words for your opponents Joey Bailey and Tony Bently. Care to elaborate?"
Eli chuckles.
"You mean The Catering Corp? I'm sure that these two are a big deal wrestling in school gymnasiums and bingo halls, but around here they're better known standing around the catering table filling up on the free food. I realise that Carl and I are single-handedly responsible for the decimation of the tag team division around here, but come on, these two aren't on the same level as The Hardliners. By the end of the match one of these gentlemen is going to get knocked out and then they can go back to standing around catering. Too bad their mouths will be wired shut after we break their jaws."
He turns to leave but Becky speaks up.
"One last question. At next week's "Captain's Fall Challenge" you and Carl Whitaker will team with James Edwards to face off with the newly crowned MAX-J Junior Heavyweight Champion, Mat Pulver and two men you are very familiar with, AJ Knight and the team captain, Ben Chrenshaw. Your thoughts?"
Eli shakes smiles and shakes his head.
"You mean three of the biggest choke artists in the history of Lion's Road? They're good, I know that better than anyone since I used to managed two of them, but Pulver only seems to be competitive with men in his own weight class, Chrenshaw is yesterday's news and AJ will be lucky if he even makes it out of his match with Hammerstein tonight in one piece. Next week they're facing off with the new elite, the three men responsible for knocking the Midnight Horsemen off their pedestal and chasing Scotty Latimer out of the company. Edwards isn't a friend to Carl and I, but we are the Golden Trio and you don't get any brighter us."
Eli nudges Dave, who seems to have dazed off and turns back to Becky.
"Tell the Lion's Road execs to have those participation awards ready for AJ and his crew. There's no shame in showing up and losing when you're facing the Harliners. A lesson Bailey and Bently will soon find out."
He walks off with Dave before Becky has a chance to answer any further questions. Becky turns to the camera.
"Back to you guys."

SAM HEWITT
From the Gateway to the North! North Bay, Ontario! Hello fight fans and welcome to another edition of Wrestling from the Lion's Road! I am Sam Hewitt once again joined by Minnesota's favourite son, Chad Gomez. How you feeling this week?
CHAD GOMEZ
Better, much better. I get back just in time to see AJ Knight and Hammerstein kick the crap out of each other.
SAM HEWITT
That's right - our main event this evening is long awaited, highly anticipated showdown between AJ Knight and Hammerstein. Much of this ongoing saga started back at MSG in July when Hammerstein cracked AJ with the chair after he'd defeated Eli Buchanan in the steel cage, but the story dates back even further...
CHAD GOMEZ
Way further. We know now that AJ Knight was forced into joining the Red Army, but the kid seemed to make the most of it and Hammerstein did his best to try and dissuade AJ from that path. It seemed to work, but AJ in retaliation for the months held hostage so to speak wanted to destroy Eli Buchanan, leader of the Red Army.
SAM HEWITT
Which is why we're here today. Eli is Hammerstein's brother in law, Holly Buchanan is married to Hammer and Eli and his own wife, Charlotte were expecting kids this past summer. Hammerstein justified his chair shot on AJ by claiming that he cared about family and wanted Eli to be able to hold his child when they were born, not be held up in a hospital room some where.
CHAD GOMEZ
And for months, AJ didn't want this match... until his title bout with Cutlass. He lost, and Hammer poured salt on those already salty wounds by driving AJ through a steel chair in front of his sister and nephew. Plus, last week... the comments he made about them.
AJ KNIGHT
Are you afraid of having to go back to Holly after having your ass handed to you by your worst enemy again?
Hammerstein's smirk isn't a cocky one, but very clearly a "fuck you" that gets a smug AJ smile in response.
AJ KNIGHT
...what? You don't like bringing family into it? You can dish it out, but can't take it?
Hammer smiles.
HAMMERSTEIN
You're right, you're right... that's pretty hypocritical of me. I dished it out, I can take it... but in the spirit of all that... bring your slut sister and that little bastard of a chi--
AJ lunges at Hammerstein, but gets intercepted by the security. Hammer chuckles as he backs up and lets security do their job. As they're containing AJ, Hammerstein gets right close to him and laughs in his face.
HAMMERSTEIN
Tsk, tsk, tsk... you almost broke the clause, AJ. Was that you wanted? Get suspended, get a reprieve from the ass whippin' I'm gonna give you, right? Not gonna happen! Because next week, I'm gonna finish what I started three months ago in New York. Be careful what you wish for, AJ because you're gonna get it, AJ. And you have NO ONE to blame but yourself.
