*After the music video ends, Teddy Long and Mick Foley are shown backstage, us assuming they are looking for Johnny Curtis.*
[Teddy Long] Oh, Mick, we've got to find him. If that creep finds Vickie I might not have my job much longer.
[Mick Foley] Don't sweat it, Teddy, I've dealt with her before.
[Teddy Long] But she can't fire you and my grand kids.....
[Mick Foley] I know, Teddy, I know.
[???] There you are!
*Teddy seems almost relived to see Vickie pop up.*
[Mick Foley] Never seen someone so happy to see you, Vickie.
*Ignoring Mick.*
[Vickie Guerrero] Teddy, I've been looking for you all night! Where have you been?
[Teddy Long] Vickie, I made a mistake.....
[Vickie Guerrero] Excuse me?
[Teddy Long] I sent....
[Vickie Guerrero] Teddy, I don't care about your problems. Come in to my office, I have a lot to say to you.
*Vickie then opens the door to her office, which so happens to be next to them. She screams in horror as when she opens the door, Johnny Curtis (with no shirt again) is sitting on her couch with his legs wide apart.*
[Mick Foley] Hey, found him!
[Johnny Curtis] I've been expecting you, Vickie.
[Vickie Guerrero] EXCUSE ME!
[Teddy Long] Oh no.
[Vickie Guerrero] WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY OFFICE?
[Johnny Curtis] What am I not doing in your office?
[Mick Foley] Not wearing a shirt.
[Vickie Guerrero] EXCUSE ME! MICK, I DON'T NEED YOUR JOKES! AS FOR YOU! GET OUT OF HERE!
[Johnny Curtis] Relax, my lady.
*Johnny stands up and walks over to Vickie. He picks up her hand and kisses it before..... smelling her.*
[Vickie Guerrero] .....
[Teddy Long] .....*gulp*.....
[Mick Foley] Here it comes.
*Vickie starts to completely flip out and she begins screaming like a banshee.*
[Vickie Guerrero] EXCUSE ME! YOU DISGUSTING CREEP! I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE! JUST GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!
[Johnny Curtis] I just wanted a contract!
[Vickie Guerrero] NO! GET OUT! YOU TOO MICK! TEDDY, WAS THIS YOU?
[Teddy Long] Uh...yes...
[Vickie Guerrero] AAHH! EVERYONE JUST GET OUT OF HERE!
*Vickie then storms into her office and slams the door shut, leaving the three men in the hall.*
[Mick Foley] Oh, Teddy.
*Mick pats Long on the back before walking away. Curtis waits a moment before looking around and following him. Teddy stands there, shaking his head as Unforgiven fades to our next segment.*
The Weird Begins I'll have to admit once I started reading this I knew something hilarious was about to ensue. Not just because of Penguin's promise to "Make things weird" but actually because I read the promo Pingu posted earlier this week. (I didn't review it of course, Vintage Pats ) A few things I liked was of course Teddy and his usual worrywart attitude and also a great thing about this promo was Mick Foley with his subtle yet hilarious remarks that were ignored by Vickie. You did a great job of selling Vickie's character by having her flip out completely. And who could forget about Curtis's shenanigans that had me giggling. Overall this promo felt more like a comedy skit or something off of SNL and it's freaking AWESOME. Only bad thing was it was a little short but like Adam said earlier "quality over quantity". Great promo Jon.
P.S. YOU HAPPY SAMMI

Maryse/Madison Rayne I like the way you start this by having Madison disrespect Vickie the way she did because it really gives everything that follows the feeling that Madison got what she deserved. And if there was anyone the briefcase would go to it’s great that it ended up being Maryse since she’s the one you put the most effort into being. The write up was a nice little reading and I like how in the beginning it shows the difference in Ted and Maryse’s character with the way he disapproved of her mocking, but then he goes out of his way to help her before Madison can cheat her way to victory and coming to her aid again before Kharma could do anything. Like how that showed that Ted’s also being a bit overprotective, perhaps because of the way McGillicutty’s been trying to steal Maryse away. Only two issues I had were that I think the write up would work better in present rather than the past tense and Kharma needs to speak already damnit.
Johnny Curtis The great Pats has already covered this.

[Johnny Curtis]
The great Pats has already covered this. But I just wanna say that your Curtis promos are getting better and better each time.
[Favourite Line]
"What am I not doing in your office?"
[My attempt at running over Krzy failed]
I'm interested whether it was Kid Kash trying to run over Chavo or Jerry as he sped away from his hate thread, but either way I'm looking forward to figuring it out. The way the video went into an MV for Davey was cool btw.
Unforgiven returns from the video package as the camera zooms in on King, JR, and Cole while background music continues to blast from the speakers.
{Cole} Welcome back ladies and gentleman, moments ago Chavo Guerrero was inches away from having to be peeled off the garage floor by the XWL maintenance crew. King who do you think was behind the wheel of the car he avoided?
{King} I don't know, I'm just glad Chavo's okay.
{Cole} As do all of his fans, his name is trending on Twitter worldwide!
The camera then cuts backstage where we see Kurt Angle walking in casual clothes. The crowd greets the sight with a sea of boos.
{Cole} Speaking of superstars who are trending on Twitter, many fans have voiced their opinions on Kurt Angle's decision not to follow through with his open challenge.
Just then Josh Matthews stops Kurt
{Josh Matthews} Hey Kurt, is it okay if I ask you a few questions?
[{Kurt Angle}] You just asked one.
{Josh Matthews} What?
[{Kurt Angle}] And another, clearly you don't care if it's okay or not so why bother asking?
{Josh Matthews} I..Uhh..
[{Kurt Angle}] Stop stuttering Josh or I'll mistake you for a local. You want an interview? Of course you do, I'm Kurt Angle. So ask away Josh.
{Josh Matthews} Alright, well first off, what did the doctors have to say about your head and leg? Will you be cleared to compete tomorrow on Breakdown?
[{Kurt Angle}] Cleared to compete? Josh do you know who I am? Do you really think I care what the doctors think I can or cannot do? I won the Olympic Gold Medal with a broken freakin' neck, don't forget that!
{Josh Matthews} You won't let us.
[{Kurt Angle}] Tonight the reason that I'm not wrestling has nothing to do with the doctors, they said that I have a strained muscle in my leg and a possible concussion. That's like a broken nail compared to what I've wrestled through. Hell when I faced Brock Lesnar at Wresltemania my neck was so messed up that I couldn't even lift my arm before the match let alone after, do you really think that a little strain could keep me out of the ring?
{Josh Matthews} Well it did didn't it?
[{Kurt Angle}] No you idiot, I had my trainer shoot novocain into my neck before every match in the Olympic games just so I could wrestle despite my broken neck, if I really wanted to wrestle tonight this little injury.. no it's not even an injury, I don't get injured.. this little bruise couldn't keep me from competing and winning. I'm not wrestling tonight because I simply don't think it's worth it. What would I prove that I already haven't already proved before by going out to that ring? Why should I wrestle through another injury for these people? I did it before and for what? I went through more pain then any of these people could even imagine to win a Gold Medal for this country and what do I get in return? Boos and You Suck chants. Well XWL Universe, You Suck, and you can wine on Twitter all you want about me all you want but it won't mean anything until you say it to my face, ohh that's right you can't, because you don't have the Integrity, Intensity, and Intellegence to make it to the XWL like I did, Oh It's True, It's Damn True!
With that Angle rushes out of the camera's view as the crowd continues to boo before we are brought to the next segment.
Eve turns around and stands up on the turnbuckle, she taunts to the fans signalling that this might be her moment and she might finally have this match won. Layla who was down after being struck by her own finishing manoeuvre stolen by Eve was just getting back to her senses when she turned to notice Eve on the top turnbuckle, Layla looks and notices that Eve is taunting and pointing to the crowd which gives Layla a few seconds to try and change the fate of this match…Layla quickly rolls over to the ropes which are just a feet away and quickly pulls down the top rope with all of her weight. Eve dosen’t realise this and loses her footing causing her to land awkwardly on her head and upper back with one leg trapped on the other rope. Layla quickly takes advantage and pulls her down by her hair and quickly goes for the pin, the ref quickly goes for the pin…
1…
2…
Eve looks like she has a second wind and looks to be struggling but Layla quickly leans on the ropes as Eve cannot kick out. The crowd notice and begin to boo but the ref hasn’t seen Layla’s tactics
3!
Michael Cole Yes! I knew Layla would win. Did you two see that? That was pure brilliance! Layla is so smart. Eve didn’t know what hit her and now the greatest divas champion keeps the title! This is great guys!
Jerry Lawler What the hell are you talking about Cole? Eve had this match won and the divas title just a grasp away. Layla cheated to get another victory. Layla doesn’t deserve to be Divas champion. Poor Eve, think I should go up and comfort her?
Jim Ross She’s half your age King! Calm down will you. Eve will certainly be looking for a shoulder to cry on though because one thing she did say was that she didn’t want to be screwed in this match and that is exactly what has happened. You can only feel for the girl but this will go down as another defence for Layla.
Michael Cole Poor Eve blah blah blah who gives a damn?! Layla beat her fair and square and now she has finally gotten Eve out of her life for good. Eve had two chances to get that title and failed both times. She is now at the back of the line and it’s time for someone else to come and have a chance.
The camera goes back to Layla who looks around smiling and excited about what has just happened. Layla gets to her knees as the divas title is handed back to her and she rises up to her feet from one knee to a large boo from the crowd. She demands the referee raises her hand which he does reluctantly.
The camera goes back over to Eve who is sat up and begins to smack her hand down on the mat repeatedly clearly angered by what has just happened. She pushes her hair back from near her face and uses the nearby ropes to get to her feet. When she gets to her feet she looks to see Layla jumping up and down celebrating her win.
Eve screams and charges at Layla who just manages to see her as she turns around but it’s too late, Eve knocks Layla down with a huge forarm to the back of the head. Layla drops the title and goes down to the mat. Eve quickly dosen’t let up on the attack and begins to pull Layla’s hair and slam her head into the mat repeatedly. It seems this loss has unleashed a new found anger inside of Eve. Eve throws Layla onto her back and dosen’t let up now punching Layla in the temple and Layla tries to use her arms to block the punches. The referee tries to pull Eve off but she is kicking and clawing and trying to get as much of Layla as possible.
Michael Cole Hey! Get her off of her ref! What a sore loser!
Jim Ross Sore maybe, but loser? This is twice now that Eve's been screwed out of the Divas Championship. There's only so much a young lady can take before she takes action.
Jerry Lawler Eve's going crazy! I've never seen her like this!
Eventually the referee pulls Eve off and she takes a minute to calm down. Layla has rolled out of the ring and the referee is talking to her as she seems to hold her head in pain. Eve seems to have calmed down but dosen’t say a word or even smile. Instead she slowly walks over to the divas title and picks it up, she stares at it for a second realising she was just seconds away from becoming champion. After she is done she gets out of the ring and walks up the ramp still holding on to the title. She stops at the top of the ramp and turns back around to face the fans and the ring. She kneels down and places the divas title at the top of the ramp as her theme hits and she heads into the back.
Layla looks on confused at what has just happened….
The aftermath attack was unexpected but awesome, the shady tactic for Layla to win seems to have set a fire under Eve's ass (I'd set a fire under Eve's ass. ) The segment really interested me and with that ending I wouldn't mind it if there was a rematch between the two soon with Eve's new attitude.

When Eve hit the kick and then went to the top rope I was so hyped, but then the video cut off and I knew where things were headed. You tried your best, Eve.

[A hightlight video begins to play outlining the way this upcoming match came to be. Weeks into the Xtreme Championship Series, Alex Shelley was attacked and was left tunable to compete for the remainder of the series. Convinced that Chris Jericho, the man who was on Redemption that fateful night ironing out the details of a new contract, was the one responsible. Shelley attacked Jericho after a being off television for weeks. Shelley claims that Jericho is jealous of the way he’s been able to sometimes emulate Jericho and do it better than the original, while Chris maintains his innocence and believes that Shelley had nothing better to do than attempt to pick a fight with him. This match has been booked as a way for both of these men to settle their differences before it escalates. The video comes to a close with both men staring each other down as the screen fades to black.]
[Jericho’s theme hits and the man who claims to be the best in the world at what he does is met with some intense boos from the fans. The lights are out and Jericho steps onto the stage and stretches out his arms…]
[Jericho spins around and smirks as he struts down the ramp while the people on either side of him heckle and jeer him. Jericho jaws off with them and reminds them of how great he is before finally making it to the steel stairs and getting into the ring. As Jericho climbs up to the turnbuckle to pose, his theatrics are cut short as another theme begins to blast through the speakers.]
[Shellley’s music incites a reaction completely opposite of what Jericho receives and Jericho stands in the ring telling the people to shut their mouths. But their cheers and chants only get louder when The Technical Messiah steps onto the stage points his finger at Jericho and then shouts ‘BANG’ as he pulls the trigger.]
[Shelley makes a move as if he was about to start walking down the ramp, but he shakes his finger no and instead turns around and mimics Jericho’s own signature pose that he did only minutes before. Pyro explode on both sides of Shelley and when he spins around he mouths ‘I did it better!’ but Jericho doesn’t look too amused. Jericho watches with a look on his face that can only be described as pure disgust as he watches Shelley slap high fives and fist bump fans on his way on the ramp. Shelley slides under the bottom rope and reaches out for Jericho to shake his hand as he smiles, but Jericho smacks it away and The Ref calls for the bell.]
Normal Match
Alex Shelley Vs Chris Jericho
[Jericho leans back as far as possible on the walls and the crowd is on their feet and doing what they can to will Shelley out of this predicament.]
{Chris Jericho} Ask him! Ask him!
[The Ref asks Shelley if he wants to calls it quits but Shelley wiggles his finger and continues clawing his way over to the ropes. Shelley stretches out his arm as far as he can and… he’s able to grab the middle rope! Though Jericho doesn’t seem too willing to break the hold anytime soon.]
1!
2!
3!
4!
[Jericho finally gets off and Shelley immediately rolls out of the ring and walks over to the ring announcer and grabs a microphone.]
{{Alex Shelley}} I’m sorry, Jericho, but could you please…. shut the hell up. I didn’t come here tonight to hear to you scream at me for half the damn match or to see you come here in those tights to show the world how fat you’ve gotten during your time off. I came here to kick your ass and to beat you down to get back at you for attacking me all those weeks ago during the Xtreme Series. And who really knows why you really attacked me? All I know is that by the end of tonight you’re going to wish that you didn’t touch me and that when this night is all said and done, I’m going back home to play some XWL ’12 just so I can do it all over again.
[Jericho and The Referee exchange curious and confused glances as neither can figure out why Shelley decided to do this in the middle of the match.]
{{Alex Shelley}} Last week I tried paying you a little visit on Redemption but as it turns out as soon as your match was over you split, and I was stuck roaming the halls until I was finally kicked out for getting lost in the divas locker room. Thing is Jericho, who knows why you do the things that you feel to do when you don’t know what else to do because you’ve decided to be a jackass? All I care is that you decided to do the things you did to me in way that left me sidelined for weeks because you were jealous that I’ve been able to become the man you used to be… only a little bit better than you thought you were. You following me right now?
[Jericho is pissed and yells at Justin Roberts to give him a mic. Once he gets the mic he starts yelling at Alex Shelley.]
{Jericho} Do you think you're funny, you moron? We’re on PPV, in the middle of a match, and you want to accuse me of something that I already said I didn't do? How stupid are you? I mean, does the music of your terrible band kill brain cells or something? It must because this isn't the time or the place little man. Now, get back in this ring before I do something you'll regret.
[Shelley shakes his head no at Jericho which just pisses him off more.]
{Jericho} Did you not understand what I just said? Get in this ring now! *Shelley shakes his head no again* Who do you think you are to not listen to me?! I'm the best in the world at everything I do, and you're just a loser who has a shitty band and a pathetic excuse for a career. SO, are you following me?
{{Alex Shelley}} Listen here, sir, that’s no way to speak when we have children in the arena. Right now I want answers and if you didn’t run away from me on Redemption like how women run from Joey Ryan then we wouldn’t have to be going through with this right now. You think I came here to wrestle? I came here to get you right where I wanted you because I want to see your face in person when you admit to being the person who nearly ruined my face. As far as I‘m concerned what I’m doing right now is the least of your concerns because you should be more concerned about how I’m going to get my revenge than what I’m saying right now because beating you in this match wouldn’t be enough. It won’t be enough until I see that you’re physically unable to compete like I was, it won’t be enough until I can come visit you in a hospital bed delivering gifts of flowers, my band’s latest CD and a compilation DVD featuring our best moments together just so I can see for myself that you’re hurting every bit as much as I was.
[Shelley hears The Ref’s count at 9 and he quickly slides into the ring but then rolls back out before Jericho can get to him.]
{{Alex Shelley}} Yeah I know, I know, you want me to get back into that ring so we can finish the match, but not yet. You see I know that once this match is over you’ll scurry on back to Redemption and try to pretend this thing with me never happened. But I’m not going to let you go that easily, not until you man up and own up to what you did. You can keep swearing left and right that you didn’t do it, but don’t forget that I already revealed that you were on Redemption the night I was attacked ironing out the details of your brand new contract, and I guess you had nothing better to do that night than attack a man who’s career can go nowhere but up, while yours has been flat lining and it’s only a matter of time before it plummets straight down and maybe even moves a bit backward as it does. So go on then, Jericho, say it. Say you did it.
{Jericho} Kid, let me tell you something. I'm Chris Jericho. First ever Undisputed champion. Record breaking 9 time Intercontinental champion. The Ayatollah of Rock & Rolla, baaabbaay. Even if I did attack you, why would I do it privately? Everything I do gets attention. #1 Headline for next week's newsletter will read, "Chris Jericho........takes a dump on Alex Shelley's career." Ahhhh, pesky dirt-sheets, never can trust 'em.
[The fans laugh at Jericho making fun of the "XWL Newsletter", but he looks around like they’re idiots.]
{Jericho} Oh, I'm sorry to mislead you imbeciles, but I don't want your laughter and I don't want your happiness. What I want is the money you pay to sit here and watch me. Other than that you people are useless. All you want to do anymore is chant "Yes!" over and over. I'm starting to get flashbacks of the idiots in the 90's who like to chant "What?", for no good reason. So, Shelley, WHAT? WHAT? are you going to do? Are you going to stand out there and waste your precious people's time and hard-earned money, or are you going to get back in here so we can finish what we started?
[Shelley scratches his head as he stands there a bit confused.]
{{Alex Shelley}} I don’t remember starting any jigsaw puzzles with you, Chris, but if you want I have one in my locker backstage that we can work on…if you want.
{Jericho} Did you not listen? I'm the best in the world at everything I do, that includes whatever jigsaw puzzles you have.
{{Alex Shelley}} If you’re the best in the world then we must not be talking about Earth because you lost the right to that title a long time ago. You see, while you were off pretending to be a rock star I was here slowly rising through the ranks, and the people love me more than they ever cared for you.
{Jericho} Being the best doesn't mean these maggots have to love you. What matters is what you do in this ring, which is nothing at the moment.
{{Alex Shelley}} What I do in this ring or to this ring is none of your damn business, Jericho. Instead of you trying to change the subject why don't you...
[Ref's count hits 7 and Shelley tries to get in the ring but this time Jericho is prepared and stops him Shelley tries getting in from a different side but Jericho's there too.]
{Jericho} What now, punk?
[Jericho begins mocking Shelley until Shelley grabs Jericho's foot and pulls him out of the ring forcing the Ref to restart the count and Shelley quickly slides into the ring.]
{{Alex Shelley}} …why don't you stop wasting my time and admit what you did, so I can punish you for doing it?
{Jericho} I DIDN"T DO IT! WHEN WILL YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SK--
{{Alex Shelley}} ARMBAR!
[Fed up with Shelley’s antics, Chris Jericho rushes into the ring and charges at Shelley with the mic and at the same time Shelley lashes out with his own mic and the two men go down as The Ref calls for the double DQ. As the two men slowly stand to their feet, the lights suddenly go out and there’s some type of scuffle in the darkness and then two loud clangs that leave the people feeling worried. There’s then a sickening howl that echoes in the otherwise silent arena and then just as quickly as the lights went out, they come back on and the scene before the people is a disturbing one. Alex Shelley and Chris Jericho are knocked out cold on the mat and in between them lies a dented chair. There’s another object in the ring and the camera zooms in on it as the screen fades to black.]
Nice writeup and match, Mick and Krzy. The back and forth from you two was awesome, and I have a reason to believe a certain masked monster was behind that assault. Great job guys

[Wait this is a feud?]
The first paragraph was a good read since I never knew any of this. The entrances were really well written, I like how Shelley was mimicking Jericho. I was a bit confused at Shelley cutting a big promo mid match but it oddly seems like something he'd do. Copying one of Jericho's catchphrases too was interesting. I'm still a bit confused as to why they stopped the match to talk to each other like this, couldn't they have done it before? Shelley's character seems to be a troll as he annoys the hell out of Jericho and keeps on egging Jericho on. The ending of it was one I didn't expect at all, and it's kept me interested on what's going to happen next.

*Unforgiven continues with Alex Riley being shown on camera in the backstage area somewhere. An off-screen interviewer is also present, whom we are made aware of when he begins to speak.*
[Interviewer] Alex Riley, you've been through a lot these past couple of weeks and tonight live on Pay-Per-View at Unforgiven it all comes to a head in your No Holds Barred Street Fight versus the Big Red Monster Kane. What are your thoughts heading into arguably the most important match of your career?
[Alex Riley] You're right, this is probably the biggest match I've ever been a part of. After everything Kane has put me through, and after almost losing my life at his hands, I can't wait to finally get some retribution. I've been waiting for this match to happen ever since I regained consciousness in my hospital bed, with my entire body covered in bandages. As I looked around, barely able to move and I saw my family at my bedside in tears... I made a promise to myself that I would make Kane pay for what he did. And tonight I have that opportunity. Kane will feel pain like he has never felt it before.
[Interviewer] Recently definitely seen a side of Alex Riley that we've never seen before. Have you always had this ruthless streak in you?
[Alex Riley] Ruthless? No. I'm not a ruthless person. I don't really ever get angry or hold grudges either. But when someone like Kane does what he did to me, any normal man will respond in the same way. If someone threatens your personal wellbeing and your career, you can't just shrug it off and let them get away with it. It's like if someone held a sword to your throat... a bit extreme I know but that's all I can think of right now... you wouldn't just let them go ahead and do whatever they please. You'd retaliate. Kane may have hurt me - badly - but he hasn't killed me. I'm still around and I intend to be for quite some time. Unfortunately for Kane, I'm not going to let him continue to terrorize and hurt anybody else like he did me.
[Interviewer] Interesting. And of all the match types you could choose, you decided to request a No Holds Barred Street Fight. Many people think you've made a mistake in allowing Kane free reign to use whatever and do whatever he pleases in this match. Everything will be legal. What was your reasoning behind requesting this match type?
[Alex Riley] Honestly? I don't really know. It was a spur of the moment thing. I really just wanted a match type where I could inflict as much pain on Kane as possible. There were a couple of options - Steel Cage, Extreme Rules, Tables... but I was so pumped about finally being back and able to do what I love, I just burst into Mick Foley's office and blurted out that I wanted a No Holds Barred Street Fight. Now looking back, maybe a Hell In A Cell would have been better. What I wouldn't give to be able to throw Kane off the top of that cage and end his career. It's what he deserves. But a No Holds Barred Street Fight? I can work with that.
[Interviewer] And after tonight, what does the future hold for Alex Riley?
[Alex Riley] I don't know the answer to that. I never really plan ahead or anything... I guess I'll just keep continuing to improve myself as a wrestler both in and out of the ring. My ultimate goal is to someday reach the top of this business but I know I'm way off achieving that. I have such a young career with plenty of time left for titles and things... I'll just continue doing what I love - which is entertaining the fans.
[Interviewer] Thank you for your time Alex.
[Alex Riley] No problem. Any time.

Normal Match
Intercontinental Championship
Christian Vs Davey Richards (C)
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
*The referee calls for the bell as Christian lets go of the pin and quickly gets onto his knees as he raises his arms in victory. The fans boo him as Christian continues to keep his arms raised for the whole arena to see. After a little bit Christian falls to the mat, still a little bit shocked after winning his first major championship in the time he has been in XWL.*
*After a little bit, Christian begins to rise to his feet as the referee starts to approach him with the Intercontinental Championship in hand. Christian takes the title from the referee's hand holds it in front of him, looking down on it. His smile slowly begins to fade away, the more and more he looks at the title and soon after Christian lowers the title and begins to walk over to the side of the ring. He demands someone brings him a microphone and shortly after, a man from the time keepers area rushes over to him and hands him a microphone. Christian walks back to the center of the ring with the Intercontinental Championship in his hand, ready to speak.*
[[Christian]] Ya know, when I walked into this arena tonight I thought winning this championship would be the greatest thing in the world. But as time went on and this title match became sooner, I realized. I don't want this championship. Just look at its history. Davey Richards, Joey Ryan, Dolph Ziggler, Wade Barrett. This title hasn't been recognizable since the day it was won by Shawn Michaels who held it for 14 months. Ever since then, it has been worthless. Even I feel bad holding this title right now.
*Christian holds the title up in the air and drops it down onto the mat as he continues to speak.*
[[Christian]] Holding that title signifies loss, failure, and desperation... I don't want that title to be around my waste, so a week or so ago I did some investing and called up a few friends. I asked if they could make me a new championship, a new championship to represent the soon to be greatest Intercontinental Championship reign since Shawn Michaels. They said they could do it, and they did. So please welcome a good friend of mine.
*Christian points to the ramp as a man in a suit comes out from behind the curtain with a briefcase in hand and makes his way down the ramp and to the ring. Christian's smirk grows larger as the man with the briefcase gets closer and closer to the ring. He eventually reaches the ring and he walks over to the steps. The man walks up them and steps into the ring and approaches Christian. He holds the briefcase up, in front of Christian. Christian raises the mic one more time to say something.*
[[Christian]] Allow me to introduce to you, the new Intercontinental Championship!
*The man raises the lid and inside of the briefcase is a new Intercontinental Championship. It has a white design instead of the usual black and it seems to resemble the same Intercontinental Championship from years and years ago. Christian takes the title out from the briefcase and looks down on it, with a bigger smile then before.*
*You can hear Christian demanding the referee to come and raise his arm in victory and the ref does just that.*
*Christian removes his hand from the referees grasp and make his way over to the turnbuckle. He climbs it and raises the new Intercontinental Championship high in the air, for the crowd to see. Unforgiven fades to a video package hyping up the main event, with Christian and the IC title being the last image shown.*

[Say it to my faaaace]
The first paragraph of this really emphasises how personal this match is, it's much more than just wrestling. Talking about how he was in the hospital and the stress it caused it family makes it seem like Riley's out for blood. I like how you talked about how Riley's just a humble kinda guy but when someone like Kane tries to do that to him it brings out the other side of him. Talking about the match options and how he'd love to throw Kane off the cell makes me think that the No Holds Barred match is going to be nuts, great promo.

"What I wouldn't give to be able to throw Kane off the top of that cage and end his career. It's what he deserves."
[ONE MORE MATCH!]
I didn't watch the match, but I wanna say congrats to Austin and hard luck to Jiggas. The promo afterward was good for Christian's character, how he speaks with such disdain for the Intercontinental title and dissing the past title holders. The smug way he introduced the new looking title was cool, and it's such good timing for you too with Christian being the current champ in WWE. Congrats.

*Footage shot earlier in the week begins to play.*
[Brock Lesnar] Sunday May 27th 2012... that's the day Triple H's career comes to an end. At XWL Unforgiven, all of the ass-kissing, all of the brown-nosing and all of the backstage politics will cease to exist. Once and for all, I - Brock Lesnar - will put an end to The Game.
[Brock Lesnar] Triple H is a man who I despise like no other. I mean, here's this guy who's an average wrestler with a bad attitude, with no friends at all in the wrestling business. And just because he hops into bed with the boss's daughter he becomes this shit hot, huge big thing in professional wrestling. Come on... seriously? The guy goes from jobbing out to everybody to this multi-time world champion who thinks he's better than everybody, just because he hitched up with some slut billionaire's daughter? It's just plain wrong. He knew it. I knew it. Everybody knew it. And when I burst onto the scene as the true Next Big Thing - a name I earned through my own pure talent and ability alone - Triple H couldn't stand it. He was seething backstage every single night back in WWE and he tried to make my life a living hell out of pure jealousy.
[Brock Lesnar] Fast forward a couple of years, and here we are again. Same old shit, different company. Triple H is still this huge megastar who kisses so much ass his teeth are brown and I am stuck living in his shadow, which is just plain wrong. Why was he given the opportunity to become the first ever XWL 15 Champion and not me? It's painfully obvious, and it's unfair. I've busted my ass in this company for years and never had the opportunity to achieve anything, while Triple H was gift-wrapped that prestigious opportunity after doing jack shit to earn it. It's about time things changed around here. I'm not going to settle for second best any longer, and I've had enough of sitting on the sidelines while people like Triple H steal opportunities away from me.
[Brock Lesnar] I think I've made enough of a statement over the past couple of weeks to more than prove to XWL that I'm capable of much more than they believe. Before, I was this undercard guy who noone really cared about. But when I attacked Triple H the first time, people sat up and took notice. It's actually pretty pathetic that that's what it took. I was trying my hardest week in week out for years in that ring... and they only noticed me when I attacked Triple H. It's funny. Because in every single way, I simply am a better competitor than Triple H. Yet he gets all the attention, while I was rotting away in obscurity. But that's all changed now. Now I'm the one in the spotlight, and now I'm the one who has all the attention. I've manhandled and dominated Triple H week after week after week. And now he's holed up in some prison cell somewhere where he belongs. What kind of a guy brings a sledgehammer to a wrestling arena? What kind of a human being trashes another guy's house and threatens his family? A coward and a thug. Two words that define exactly what Triple H is.
[Brock Lesnar] And now, thanks to my good friend Mr John Laurinaitis... after Unforgiven, he will no longer be a part of XWL. If Triple H doesn't show up at the arena he's fired. If he's somehow able to get out of his prison cell and show up... he's still fired. The stipulation states he has to lose, but that's all he's done whenever he's been in the same ring as me. We haven't even had a match yet, but I have dominated him continuously in every confrontation we've had. I'm not at all concerned if he shows up, it just gives me another excuse to kick his ass. And beating people up is what makes me happy. It's a win-win situation for me. Triple H is going to get fired whichever way you look at it, and if he does show up, I get to beat the living daylights out of him. Personally, I can't wait.
[Brock Lesnar] It will be the ultimate humiliation for him. Live on Pay-Per-View in front of millions of people watching around the world. Either he loses his job, or he gets his ass kicked AND loses his job. It's just what a low-life weasel like him deserves and I'll laugh right into the camera when it happens.
[Brock Lesnar] Oh, and if you're watching this in that dinky little prison cell of yours Hunter. Don't worry. John Laurinaitis has promised me that once you're fired you'll never be hired back. After all, he's the one who does the hiring and firing and he understands exactly what kind of a person you are. You're a liability to him and you're a liability to XWL. Who's to know you won't pull the same crap you did on me and my family to someone else a few months down the line? You have no chance of ever working in XWL again after this Sunday.
[Brock Lesnar] Me on the other hand? Well, I have BIG things planned in my future. Big things. But for you Triple H? For you...
[Brock Lesnar] It truly will be... GAME OVER.
*The screen fades to black as XWL Unforgiven continues.*

[Brock Lesnar being Brock Lesnar]
I wasn't sure if you were able to top the breakdown/redemption contracts promo as Brock. But I feel like you did here because of how much of a strong message this promo had. You capture Brock's attitude really well, the fact that he really doesn't care about anyone and he just wants to get Triple H out of XWL. He has such a better than you attitude, the pics which added to a dark straight forward setting added a lot to the promo. The language of Brock was beneficial I feel, it was a very fierce promo that brought up past unanswered grudges between both men. I think this ties so far with HBK for promo of the show, fantastic work as usual.
