I am back: Venom is the first of many too fall:

[Eclipse]

The scene opens up on a dark night with a full moon in the night sky. There are several clouds passing by the moon and a slight breeze is blowing. The night is cold and there are but only several people walking on the streets of New York City. Each person is bundled up with a coat on and arms hugging their own bodies to stay warm. The scene moves forward walking straight into complete nothingness and utter darkness and yet the darkness and nothingness seem very familiar. The scene is now in a more run down part of New York City. There are several homeless people standing close to a fire in a trashcan to keep warm. The buildings are old and some are half way torn apart while others are completely in rubble.

The scene focuses on one building standing directly in view of the camera. The building is the only one in this block that is not as run down as the rest. It is still in horrible condition. The camera moves closer to the building revealing a sign that is hanging in the front of the building. The letters are all worn away but one word can be made out. That word is “gym”, the camera keeps moving closer and closer until it is at the front door to the building. A hand reaches out and grabs the doorknob and turns it and pushes the door open. The door squeaks open slowly and a noise can be heard in the background. The camera moves into the first room of the building. Old newspaper clips are hung up on the wall of Shadow and Eclipse. One picture in particular jumps out at the camera. The picture is of Shadow and Eclipse standing side by side with titles over their shoulders. There is also one other man standing in the picture in between Shadow and Eclipse. A small article is under the picture. The camera zooms into the articles but only a small amount can be made out.

Article: Shadow (right) and his partner Eclipse (Left) is standing with there 82-year-old trainer/mentor Jason Steel. These two men are wrestlers in the company named the NEW. They have gone on to bigger and better things since first appearing in this gym in downtown New York City. They are now champions and have brought a lot of business to their trainer Jason Steel. Steel says, “These two boys have always been my prized students.”<br>
The rest of the article is too worn to make out what it says. The camera zooms back out and over on the left side of this room are several more articles. The camera zooms into one featuring Shadow and Eclipse in suits at a funeral.

Article: The late and great Jason Steel has passed away today at the age of 83on June 14, 2000. Eclipse (right) and Shadow (left) where his prized students and Superstars in the wrestling company National Wrestling Efederation.

The article is torn in two and that is the only part that is readable. In the background the same noise that was heard before can be heard again. The camera moves into the next room. This is a bigger room then the one before with a sign up sheet over on an old desk. The desk has a layer of dust on it and the last entry on the sign up sheet is dated May 5th, 2000. The camera moves forward into the next room. In this room there is a ring in the middle of it. Also there are several weight equipment machines in different corners of the room. A man is over in the far corner punching the punching bag. The man stops when he

[Eclipse]

notices the camera. The man begins to walk towards the camera and at the same time the camera zooms in to reveal that the man is Eclipse.

Eclipse reaches the camera and at the same time the camera zooms out. Eclipse is wearing black addida training pants and a white tank top. He has black Nike shoes on and is sweating profusely. Eclipse stares into the camera and then turns around and motions for the camera to follow him. They both walk back over to the punching bag and Eclipse picks up a towel from a chair close to the bag. He whips off his face and sits down on the chair. He leans down and places the towel over his head. He then leans back up and the camera zooms in so that the only thing you can see is his face.

Eclipse: It has been a very long time since I have graced the NWE ring. I know all the fans where disappointed when I left but I had no other option. You see back before I left the powers and me at the time where having disagreements every week about everything. Finally I could not take it anymore so I left. I was in a few smaller companies but soon I got burnt out and needed to take some time off. While I was gone I got my head cleared. Then a couple of weeks ago I got a call from a very good friend. That friend was none other than my fellow partner in Total Darkness Shadow. He told me about his dilemma and how TWD was going around saying, “They where the most dominant force that the NWE has ever known”. Well it did not take much more than those words to convince me that I needed to come back here one more time and prove once and for all who the best really is.

Eclipse leans back in the chair and picks up a bottle of water off of the floor. He takes a drink and then places the cap back on the bottle and looks back into the camera.

Eclipse: Venom I too thought new Blood Rising was funny. Especially when I ran down to the ring and knocked you out cold. You and your buddy Cyanide never knew what even hit you. I mean god do you think Shadow was going to go into NBR without a plan. He had a plan all right. A plan to bring Total Darkness back to the NWE and dominate once again. You see Venom TWD is not and never will be the most dominating force in the NWE. Shadow and I have already claimed that spot and will never be passed up for it. Venom on February 21 at Perfection you and I will meet in the ring for the first time. For the first time it will be an official match between you and I. But knowing the TWD Cyanide will not be too far behind you. Also that little punk Ronnie T will be there too. He deserved what he got at NBR when I knocked him out as well. You think I am going to let him put his hands on my friend’s fiancee?

You got another thing coming, I mean god not even Shadow and I in our earlier darkness days went after women and children. Only cowards do that and that is exactly what you three are. Unlike every other person in this business I go up against I do not have any respect for you and your little friends. I plan on taking you all out one by one by myself. Shadow at this point has his own battle to deal with. You thought you had your hands full with Shadow? No, he is a great wrestler but unlike him I have not forgotten the darkness inside me. No it has been growing for a long time and now that I am back the darkness will fall upon the NWE.

[Eclipse]

I live by one rule in my life and one rule only. That rule is, “Loosing is for those who are afraid to risk everything to win”. I am prepared to risk my mind, body, and my soul to take care of TWD. This first match in the Champion tournament is with you and me. I am hoping Cyanide is good enough to make it all the way to the finals so I can do the same to him that I am about to do to you.

Eclipse stands up and moves back over to the punching bag. He begins to throw a left followed by a right. He continues this for about five minutes before turning back to the camera.

Eclipse: Venom you talk about Shadow and myself recruiting to bring people into Total Darkness. No, we do not need to do that to beat TWDs ass. No but you where the smart one to start recruiting for your pathetic little group. But listen to me carefully when I tell you these words, “No matter how many people you get I will take every single one of you out”. Do you understand that? I am on a mission and that is to rid the NWE of TWD. We may have never met in the ring before but you know what I am capable of. I have ended many careers in my time. I am still young and I plan on ending a lot more. Now if you do not mind I am going to go back to my work out and do not worry Venom. The camera will stay here so that way when you make your pathetic little come back speech at everything I have just said. I will be ready to answer any questions you have for me.

Eclipse starts to punch the bag some more and the camera fades with him taking one last hard shot on the bag and then turning to the camera as it zooms into his eyes to reveal rage building up inside of him.

[Venom]

When the camera fades the arena stays dark and Back To Kick This hits the Pa before Venom steps out to some major heat from the crowd. He smiles as he conitnues to walk down the ramp. he stops to pose for some young ladies in the crowd but the only seem to want to hurl abuse at him but he just takes it and continues to walk down to the ring. He grabs a mic and rolls under the bottom of the ring.
He is in the ring but continues to strut his stuff and pose.

Venom: Very good Eclipse, I am very impressed.

The crowd look confused

Venom: You see sometimes I wish I had the skills of making short movies like you, I mean, you should enter that little movie into a film competition and you'd be sure to win because it's so touching and deep it's unbelievable. Well, I got news for you, this is wrestling not some film competition!

The crowd boo

Venom: I don't need to make films to show how good I am, I don't need a story and flashbacks and heart touching moments to be able to kick someones ass, all I need is the ring and my opponent which is you Eclipse!

The fans start to chant for Eclipse

Venom: You see, these fans are obviously easily swayed by movies, I meann look at that guy in the front row he is obviously influenced by the film Shallow Hal, if you don't know what I mean check out the whale sitting next to him, he must only see her inner beauty!

The fans boo venom and the two members of the crowd are so disgusted with him the leave the arena

Venom: Hahaha, that makes me laugh just like kicking your ass to advance in this tournament will make me laugh. This match is merely a stepping stone for me. I've beaten many of the greats and you are by no means great. You may be the fans favourite, the eagle in their beady eyes but remember this, the eagle may soar high but the snake does not get sucked into the engine of a jet! And that's exactly what will happen, you are going down, I've never been so sure of anything in all my life. You may have not may out cold at NBR but this only because it was a surprise attack, put me one on one with you and no interruptions from either my crew or yours and you'll see that I will win because I am true talent and not just a showman like yourself. On another note, something I spoke about the other day, my friend the Jackhammer

Huge pop from crowd

Venom: thats right, he called me back and he had some bad news, he cant wrestle any more, he has retired

The crowdare dissapointed

Venom: But that doesnt mean he aint coming to the NWE, he has agreed to talk more about becoming my manager, the man the myth, the legend who is the Jackhammer standing in my corner, you guys will hate but I cant wait. Anyway I have to go and meet him but Eclipse the camera will be on me in the toilet when you have something to say because I'm off for a Forrest Dump.

venom leaves to a chorus of booing.

[Eclipse]

[glow=blue,2,300]Scene 1:[/glow]

The scene fades back to the old run down gym. The camera pans around to find Eclipse again but he is nowhere to be seen. The camera starts to walk forward when Eclipse walks out from the back area dressed differently. Instead of his work out clothes he was wearing he now has on black baggy Jeans and a white shirt on. He has a long black leather trench coat on and a black New York Yankees cap on turned backwards. He is wearing black sunglasses and a silver necklace around his neck. He lowers his sunglasses and looks into the camera.

Eclipse: I know this has to be a disappointment to you Venom. I mean you where expecting me to stay here and address all of you little remarks. But no I thought to myself when I was here working out that I should pay you and the fans of the NEW a little visit seeing as how I am not too far from the arena.

A big eruption of cheers can be heard from the crowd as they have just heard that Eclipse will be coming to the arena.

Eclipse: Yes, I thought that it would be a lot better if I was there in person instead of here. I mean if you think about it if I am there in person you might get a little bit of rage inside of you and actually have the balls to say what you want to say instead of telling me I should make short movies.

Eclipse walks over to the edge of the wrestling ring and picks up a black leather bag. He throws it over his shoulder and walks to the front door with the camera following him. Eclipse and the camera walk out the front door when Eclipse turns around and pulls out a set of keys. He finds the key he wants and locks up the gym. He turns back around and walks over to the side of the building to an alley and walks up too his black Toyota Supra that is parked there. He unlocks the car and opens the door and reaches inside. The trunk pops open and Eclipse walks to the back of the car and places the black leather bag in side of the trunk and closes it. Eclipse walks back to the driver side door and gets inside of the Supra and turns the engine on and reeves it up a few times. The bass of the stereo starts to blast and the familiar sound of rock music can be heard blasting from the speakers. The car starts to roll forward and stops when it reaches the camera. The driver side window rolls down. Meet me at the arena and do not be late. The camera nods in response and then everything fades to black.

[glow=blue,2,300]Scene 2:[/glow]

The scene opens up too out side of the NWE arena, there is a camera panning around the parking lot waiting on somebody. When out of the darkness a black Toyota Supra pulls up in front of the camera. The stereo is blasting with the familiar sound of rock music blasting over the speakers. The car shuts off and the trunk makes the pop sound opening up. The driver side door opens up and Eclipse steps out of the car and looks around. He shuts the door and walks to the back of the car to the trunk. He grabs a black leather bag out of the trunk and closes it. He presses a button on the key to lock the car then he walks up too the camera.

[Eclipse]

Eclipse: It is great to be back here at the National Wrestling Efederation arena.

Eclipse then walks past the camera and heads towards the entrance to the arena. The camera is following Eclipse from behind as he enters the arena and starts to walk down the hallway. Eclipse and the camera pass several people all of them telling Eclipse that it is nice to have him back. Eclipse and the camera reach the entrance to head out to the ring. Eclipse turns back towards the camera and hands him his black leather bag.

Eclipse: Here hold this why I am in the ring. I was not scheduled here tonight so I do not believe they have a dressing room for me.

A hand reaches out and takes the bag. Eclipse turns back around and walks up too the curtain waiting for the signal to walk out. The scene then cuts to the audience and all of the cheering for all the action that has taken place in the arena that night. When all of a sudden…<br>
The lights go out in the arena, a blue moon appears on the titan tron…(The fans begin to slowly cheer one by one for the anticipation of seeing Eclipse)… “Headstrong” by Trapt blasts on the PA system around the arena…(The fans are all now cheering for Eclipse)… On the titan tron the camera zooms out and a black figure of a man stands up on the edge of a cliff. Blue fog begins to go out around the arena. Eclipse steps out from behind the curtain and stands at the top of the entrance ramp. He has a water bottle in his hand he takes a drink and then throws it out in to the crowd. This motion sets off blue pyro’s shooting out from the ramp. Eclipse walks down from the top of the ramp and to the ring. Once he reaches the ring he slides in under the bottom rope. Eclipse walks to all four corners of the ring raising his arms in the air yelling that the “Icon” is here…(The fans start to chant Eclipse)… Eclipse walks over to one of the turnbuckles and asks the technician guy to throw him a microphone. A microphone is tossed into the ring and Eclipse picks it up off of the ground… (The fans calm down and “Headstrong” by Trapt goes off.)

Eclipse: It is great to be back and out here in front of all the fans. Now I do not do in ring promos that often but I thought it would be better for me to actually be in the arena and ring just this one time to address everything on everybody’s minds.

First off I would like to address my opponent this week at perfection Venom. Venom you like to walk out here week after week and intimidate your opponents. Well this week by all the stuff you said I think it is the opposite. I think this week you are intimidated by me. I mean I made all the comments to set you off but you did not address one of them. You instead told me that I should enter my last video and speech into a short movie contest. Yes I know I can go over board sometimes and I also know that this business is wrestling. I know that to win a match it is not done on the screen but instead in the ring. Back too my other point, I said several times that I am going to take TWD out one by one and yet you said nothing about. You never told me that it will never happen or anything. Instead again you told everybody that this Jackhammer person might come to be your manager. Venom I know I scared you shitless and everything but if you could please get your ass off of the toilet and come to the ring. I think we should talk in person face to face.

[Venom]

Back To Kick THis hits the Pa and outsteps Venom to a wave of booing, he is enjoying it. He struts down to the ring not even acknowledging that Eclipse is in the ring, he is looking very smug.
Venom is taking his time as he is walking around the ring, Eclipse looks a little pissed off at Venom.
Venom picks up a chair and slides into the ring, he raises the chair but instead of hitting Eclipse, he sets the chair up and sits on it much to Eclpise`disgust.

Venom: I'm glad to see that you are here Eclipse, I'm glad to see you made the effort to come all the way just to try and piss me off or intimidate me, well, go on then and scare me.

Eclipse just stands there as the fans boo Venom

Venom: You see, the reason I never addressed anything you said before is because all of it meant nothing to me, everything you have said I have heard it before. (venom mimics Eclipse` voice):I will get rid of the TWD one by one"

The fans jeer Venom

Venom: It's all been said before and thats why you dont intimadate me, you dont scare me. If you scared me, would I be sitting in front of you smiling? Would I be sitting here defenceless against any strike from you? You think I went to the toilet because you scare me shitless well, the main reason for that would be that taking a dump is more exciting than listening to you, plus its more rewarding than than making you eat your words.

Eclipse steps back looking a bit disgusted as are many of the crowd

Venom: So, you have ended many careers, and you plan to end mine, well I gotta say that, it just aint gonna happen son, because, I'm unbreakable, I'm indestructable, no matter how much punishment I take, I always come back and these fans know it, I know that they are all hoping that you end my career, but its not going to happen. Sure, you are still young and so am I, but I see big future for the both of us but unfortunately for you, your career will be put on hold for a while once I'm done with you. No, not through injury but through humiliation, after your big promo's and all the effort you have put in to impress these morons, I'm going to win so damn easily that you will dare not to show your face again, and see everyone laugh at you because all you showmen are the same, you lose, you dissapear whereas me, I just keep coming back, you cant get rid of me, you cant get rid of the TWD, the TWD is only becoming stronger and bigger and there aint a damn thing you can do about it! I talk about the Jackhammer because this is something huge, he is a very impressive man, he will do big things for the TWD and thats why its exciting. There is no doubt in your abilitys in the ring but you aint nothing compared to me and I'll prove it to everyone at Perfection.

Venom sits back and awaits for Eclipse to say something....

[Eclipse]

Eclipse looks at Venom then turns around and walks over to one of the turnbuckles and leans against it casually and smiles. Eclipse begins to clap his hands then he raises his microphone to his mouth.

Eclipse: Very good Venom, I mean putting on a speech like that is just incredible. I mean too tell me that taking a dump is more satisfying then making me eat my words is just genius. But there is something wrong with what I have just said. I mean you can never have the word genius in a sentence when it refers to you. I mean what did it take you several hours to come up with that little smart remark? You talk about how people have said before that they where going too take out TWD. But you and the overgrown person that is called Cyanide know deep down inside that I am the one man that can actually pull it off. You both know that I am the one person in this fed that can take you two out for good.

Eclipse drops the microphone down from his mouth and looks around the arena. He looks back at Venom and then gets a smirk on his face.

Eclipse: You know what? I am done talking and I am ready to prove to you how good I really am. So at Perfection when at the end of the match I am declared the winner after making you tap out to the Solar Eclipse (Crippler Crossface) and you are lying on the mat thinking in your head that the end is near for TWD. I want you too remember everything that I have said too you. Then and only then will you realize that you are not the best like you like to believe you are? I mean if you actually think about it who have you beaten that even give you the right to be called the best? I do not think that I am the best but I have done some hellacious matches and have beaten the best there is but I still do not refer too my self as the best. But I truly want to know whom have you beaten by yourself to give you the right too call yourself the best?

Eclipse drops the microphone and as it hits the mat it makes a thud sound. Then “Headstrong” by Trapt blasts through the PA system around the arena. The fans begin too cheer as Eclipse walks over to the edge of the ring and drops to the mat then rolls out.

[Venom]

As Eclipse` leaves Venom is still sitting in the chair, he starts to laugh!
The fans are booing him.

Venom: Haha, you know, I think you have the best imagination of anyone I have ever known! For one, when I have ever said that I am the best? When have I called myself the greatest? Not even I am that stupid. Sure, I said that I have beaten the best, I have beaten the likes of Shadow with no interruptions, and pretty easily too but that doesnt mean that i have called myself the best! Next of all, you ask how many several hours it took me to come up with that speech, well, considering that I came out pretty much after you had finished talking would suggest it only took me a couple of minutes. Now, that doesnt mean I`m a genius, but then it doesnt take a genius to work that out!

The crowd are still giving Venom heat

Venom: Next, you honestly believe that you are the one man who will stop the TWD, I've never heard so much crap in all my life! If I honestly believed that you could end the TWD, then why the hell would I be out here talking my mouth? Why would I be so cocky? The only reason I am this cocky this time is because I know that noone can end the TWD except from the TWD! Especially single handedly, hell no, dont be so full of yourself! you keep talking about "taking us out", I dont mean to sound homophobic but Eclipse...........I'm not that way inclined! Now, you say you are tired of talking and just want to fight, well, I could keep talking about how pathetic everything that you have said is but hell, I`ll agree with you on one thing, I want to fight! I want to kick your ass! You say you will make me tap out to your Solar Eclipse, you aint gonna get the chance to do that becasue you will be busy tapping out to the Venoms grip!

Venom gets up and leaves to his music, he is strutting up the ramp while the crowd continue to give him jip!
