Darkness. This is all that you can see when the scene opens in New York, New York. The landscape is filled with dead trees and tombstones, giving the area the visuals of it being a graveyard, and yet, that's exactly what it is. A thick fog covers the lower half of the graveyard, and the full moon shines brightly above it all. This is the area where hundreds of bodies lay, due to whatever cause, but just a few monthes ago, there was life in this dead sanctuary. It was the site of thousands of fans, and less than a hundred XWM superstars. It was that time of year again when Dead On Arrival came around in XWM, and the name never had so much meaning. The camera zooms in on one of the headstones and it reads 'Erik Rivers a.k.a Laz', the effects of betryal. May 1, 2005 was the day that Laz walked into the XWM. It didn't take long for him to power his way through the roster, earning friends along the way. Jay Babric, and Ruby were their names, and carnage was their game. 'Doomsday', as they called themselves, worked their way to the top, until there was only one person in their way. A mysterious man by the name of Arrowhead held the XWM World Heavyweight Championship, and that was exactly was Doomsday needed to bring their power to full. So it was set, Arrowhead Vs Laz in a Buried Alive match for the XWM World Heavyweight Championship, all Doomsday members banned from ringside. Although Doomsday was banned from ringside, it was a no brainer as to who would win the match. All bets were on Laz, and Arrowhead knew it, so it was only natural for him to do something about it. Nobody likes to lose their championship. May 25, 2005 was the day of Dead On Arrival. It was a bit more than a standard match, as XWM wasn't the most popular of feds. In the end, Laz hit the Last Rites right by the grave. The match was basically over, and all he had to do was roll Arrowhead into the grave to get the win. It only took a few seconds of taunting for Doomsday to come out. At first, Laz smiled, he believed Doomsday was coming out to help him beat on Arrowhead some more. He could win the championship at the next pay-per-view. This could be a message to the XWM. But that smile quickly changed when he was hit in the head with a chair by Jay. Jay then continued to stomp on Laz as Ruby climbed up onto the titan tron. As lay there, being kicked, all he could think about was the hurt of betrayal. This was the second time in his professional career that he had been screwed over by his so called friends. Arrowhead soon regained consciousness, as Jay laid Laz out with his version of the Pedigree. Laz was almost out, when all it took was a spactacularly performed Five Star from the top of the titian tron by Ruby. Laz doesn't remember much after that, but people told him Arrowhead then picked him up and Last Rided him into the hole. Then Arrowhead and his former stable mates buried him until the match was over. Although his technically won the match since Doomsday came out and helped Arrowhead, he didn't take the title. He didn't take anything, because he never came up from that grave. The pain of deceit for the second time, hurt so much more than the first. Now, August 18, 2005, a camera man from the WWA walks through the same graveyard that Laz lies. He looks at the grave, where he lies. How could it be that one man could just be buried in a match, and then never come up? But then without warning, a single hand pops up out of the dirt. The camera man jumps back and watches as a man emrerges from the ground. All the camera man can do is stand and stare at what is happening. Is this the man that was buried here. Is this the man that it says on the headstone

Camera Man: "Who...who...who are you?"

Laz: "Who am I? Who am I? You must be joking right?"

Camera Man: "No...no...no sire, I am not joking. I am asking you a question"

Laz has a confused look on his face now. How could this man not remember him? I mean, he's Laz. This man looks young. Maybe he wasn't into wrestling when Laz was on top. Who knows

Laz: "Well, it just so happens that I am the one and only, Laz"

Camera Man: "Laz?"

This remark sort of angers Laz. What does he mean, Laz? Even though he might not have been into wrestling when Laz was around, somebody must have told this man about Laz. Either they didn't, or this man was really stupid

Laz: "Yes, Laz! Haven't you ever heard of the name Laz, before?"

Camera Man: "I'm sorry sir, but no"

Laz has a short toleration level, so by now he has become really angered. He can't take the fact that not everyone knows who he is, or even knows he existed. But his confidence level is so high, that in his mind, everyone should know. In his anger, Laz hits the man, and with one punch, the man goes down

Laz: "I haven't done that in to long of a time. To long I have been buried underneath this earth, waiting, watching for the right moment to come back to you. Here we are now, it has finally happened. I have returned. But the worst thing of all, is that my name has tarnished. The world now lives without fear. We have Shane Cato and Jason Corrosion, some new boys I assume, going at it for the World Heavywieght Championship. When I was around, there was fear in the eyes of two people facing off for a title with such high status. Brandon Forelon Vs Xpress for the PWA Championship. Both men we scared, and I could feel it? Do you know why they were scared? Because of me. Whoever won that match, knew that sooner or later, they would have to deal with me, and that is what made them scared. Shane and Jason must be scared, just as Brandon and Xpress were then"

As you said before, people live without fear, and these two are no exception. You have been forgotten Laz. Your name no longer makes children cry, or strike fear into the hearts of man. They do not remember you. You are nothing.

Laz: "You are wrong. Of course everyone remembers, who could forget me? I was the devil on earth, there is no way one could come to forget a soul such as mine. Although I have been gone for quite some time, I'm sure my name still lingers on the mind of those who were there. I doubt everyone has retired. They will teach everyone of me."

True. Shannon Summers, Chris Walker, Chad Savage, and Ryan Ross, still remain. But what is four people to tell everyone of you. Whose to say they will even remember you themselves. People in this time choose to block out the past that hurts them. The past that causes them pain. Whose to say that they didn't block out you?

Laz: "Impossible."

You overate yourself Laz. Although the key to your success has been your cockiness. I believe it has also been your downfall. It is entirely possible. You haven't been around in a long time. Plus, you're ending fed was XWM? Do you really think many people were in that fed? Nobody who matters much around these parts.

Laz: "Fine. You win. It matters not that they do not remember, now that I look at it. Actually, this could be quite fun. I'll just have to go back to my old ways, and make them remember.

I couldn't have said it better myself

The scene is out and the lights come back on in the WWA arena. The audience looks around at each other, not knowing what to think. Who was that Laz guy, and was he really as good as he thinks he is? The titan tron then turns back on, not giving the audience enough time to think about the new arrivall. The camera man is in the hallway, with his hands on a door knob. He turns it and walks through to what looks like a parking lot. As soon as the camera man points the camera towards the enternace, a limo pulls it's way through. The limo drives its way through the parking lot and stops at the arena door. The driver gets out of the driver seat, shuts the door behind him and walks around to the back of the limo. There, he opens up the trunk and the trunk hides the driver from view. The audience’s attention switches from the driver to the new outstretched door in the back of the limo. We see a leg come out of the limo and it is a man’s leg. He then gets totally outside of the limo and reveals himself as the real god, Jason Corrosion. He walks to the back of the limo as the driver hands him his black duffel bag. The driver gets back in, and drives off as Jason heads for arena door. He opens the door to the arena and walks inside. Jason is a bit paranoid, considering he now has two males and two females looking to kill him. Seeing nobody behind the door, he begins walking to his locker room. He reaches it in no time at all and slowly opens the door. It is dark, but it's not like he is afraid of the dark, so he closes the locker room door with him inside, making it even darker. You here a thud, indicating that Jason has thrown down his duffel bag. Suddenly the lights switch on and you here a gasp from Jason. As soon as Jason flicked on the lights, there sat that man in the graveyard just a few feet away from him.

Jason Corrosion: "Who the hell are you? And who gave you permission to come in here. This is my locker room!"

Laz: "Don't get your panties all in a bunch Jay, I'm not here to hurt you"

His words flow as calmly as if this was usual, as if he had done nothing wrong.

Jason Corrosion: "How did you get in here? I'm the only one that has the key to this room"

At this point, Jason is not willing to trust anybody so easily. He has four people that don't exactly like him. For all he knew, this man could be with them.

Laz: "Lockpicking is a skill that doesn't require much effort from me. So that's how easily this 'security' can be broken"

Jason Corrosion: "Alright, but if you aren't here to jump me, then why are you here?"

What a paranoid man. You haven't even told him our name yet, and already he's asking if we're going to jump him

Laz: "I have a proposition for you Mr. Corrosion"

Now intrigued by this mysertious man, Jason pulls up a chair and sits in front of this man known as Laz. He has an exited yet wondering look on his face. What could this man say, that would interest him? I guess he would soon find out

Jason Corrosion: "What kind of proposition are we talking about here?"

Laz: "One where I help you with your problems"

Jason Corrosion: "What makes you think I need any help with my 'problems'?

What makes you think you don't? Fine, we'll just go join Cato

Laz laughes out loud, which sort of startles Jason. It was quite funny to Laz that a man that was now out numbered four to one, would even risk the chance of being out numbered five to one.

Laz: "Please Mr. Corrosion. I have been in the same spot you are now. One less enemy, one more allie"

Hmmm..this was almost to good to be true. This man drops in on his locker room, and wants to help take out Cato and his goones? There had to be something else going on

Jason Corrosion: "What's in it for you?"

So many questions. It's a good deal, take it!

This question suprised Laz. He expected Jason to take the offer, no questions asked, considering his 'situation'. But I guess his 'situation' made him more astute of friendships than he was before

Laz: "Rememberance. If I help you take on your 'friends' then I will once again be remembered, and that is all I am looking for at the moment. Don't worry Mr. Corrosion, if you do win that title at Torment, I had no intention of attempting to take it from you"

Jason Corrosion: "That's all? That's all you want is to be remembered?"

This seemed strange to Jason. He had never met a man in professional wrestling that did not want some sort of title shot. If Laz was any other man, he would say he was a liar, but there was something about Laz that told him he was telling the truth

Laz: "That is all. I am a simple man Mr. Corrosion"

Say yes!

Jason Corrosion: "So you'll be some sort of a body guard or whatever, so people will know who you are again?"

God damnit just take the damn deal!

Laz: "Correct"

Take the deal!

Jason kept quite for a few seconds after this, he had to think about it. If he was trusting this man, it meant that he was exposing himself to this guy. It left him vulernable for betrayal. Yet, it did sound pretty good to have somebody on your side

How much coaxing do you need!? I swear!

Jason Corrosion: "Alright"

Laz: "So it's a deal then?"

Don't ask him that! He'll just think on it! He already said alright

Laz: "Shut up!"

Jason Corrosion: "What?"

Laz: "Oh sorry, I wasn't talking to you"

Jason was now probably thinking that this guy is a bit crazy. But crazy was good

Jason Corrosion: "Uhhh...ok...."

Laz: "So....is it a deal ot not?"

Jason Corrosion: "It's a deal"

Laz extends his hand to Jason to sort of seal the deal. Jason looks, and has a moment of hesitation before he extends his hand aswell. The last thing the camera sees before fading out is the two hands shaking
