***Later on, Joanie Laurer is outside of Jackal’s locker room. She is wearing a pair of black leather shorts, and a black tanktop, like she wore when she was wrestling. She seems to waiting, for something, and then the door opens. Jackal is standing there in black denims and with a gold chain around his neck, which he hasn’t worn since the spring.***

Joanie: Hello Jackal. You’re looking pretty good tonight.

Jackal: You aren’t looking so bad yourself? Can I help you with something?

Joanie: I want an interview of course.

Jackal: I’m talking on the X-Cage in the ring. Sorry.

Joanie: No, I’m here to ask you about the six man tag match.

Jackal: Oh. Alright then.

Joanie: Now, the other day in your interview with Tony, you said that you still respected Matt, and deep down he is still your friend. So, why are you participating in this match?

Jackal: Why? I’ll tell you why. Yes, I do still respect Matt. But you have to admit. Everything he has been doing lately, to me, to the fans. It’s pretty damn stupid. Not to mention he is somewhat abusing his power.

Joanie: How so?

Jackal: Well, let’s see. He gave himself an intercontinental title shot, and he is using his power as chief to give people things so they will compete on his team.

Joanie: You mean the favors he has been passing out?

Jackal: Exactly. He’s acting stupid, and he’s abusing his power. So, I think he should be punished by losing his job as the Chief. And I want to help in doing that.

Joanie: You seem to think Matt’s doing a bad job. But you have to admit, he has been doing more then Cassie.

Jackal: On that I will agree with you. Matt has done more then Cassie, but not necessarily better then her.

Joanie: What do you think of Cassie’s job?

Jackal: She has been slacking a bit. But she seems to have picked it up a bit as of late. But as long as the person does what they’re supposed to do, it doesn’t matter to me.

Joanie: I see. This isn’t about who you think is doing the better job. This is about revenge on Matt.

Jackal: That’s it exactly. Are we done?

Joanie: Not quite. What do you think of your partners?

Jackal: My partners? Well, first you have good old Spike Dudley. I’ve had more battles with his brothers then him, so I don’t quite know his ring style. But I do know he has a hell of heart, and a lot of guts. And of course, we have the big bad mack daddy himself, Daddy Mack.. The one man who has done it all in SEF. He is the ultimate icon, and possibly one of the best athletes this business will ever see.

Joanie: So I’m guessing there’s no hard feelings left from the japanese deathmatch?

Jackal: Nope.

Joanie: What about Matt’s team?

Jackal: Well, you have three talented guys. Obviously, Viper. A man you could say is Mack’s equal. Matt’s equalizer you could say. I teamed with him on Friday, but tonight, we are opponents. He is quite the athlete, but he is able to be defeated. And then we have D-Von Dudley. I’ve clashed with him on more then one occasion. But I don’t know what the hell has come over him. All this ‘master of darkness�?crap. And he brings in this James Mitchell bitch, and all of a sudden ditches him. The guy is very unsettleed. And finally, there’s Stephen Masterson. This rookie, has shown his stuff. In his third match, he went toe to toe with Viper. And took him to the limit. No matter how good you think you are, that is impressive. But I haven’t seen hide or hair of the guy since then. So, he may not show up.

Joanie: Well, thank you very much Jackal. You..uh…maybe wanna go somewhere a bit more private?

***Joanie raises her eyebrows somewhat seductively, as if trying to seduce Jackal into following her.***

???: Ahem..

***The shot zooms out now, and we see Christine behind Jackal in a pink sweater and a black skirt. She looks a little pissed off.***

Christine: Did you say something Joanie? I didn’t hear you.

Joanie: Um…I was just thanking Jackal for the interview.

Jackal: She was just leaving. Weren’t you?

Joanie: Uh..yes. Bye.

***Joanie walks away, and the camera focuses back in on Jackal & Christine. They share a quick kiss, and then walk out of shot as the scene fades.***

***We are now mere hours away from Deadly Destruction. The pay per view to end all pay per views. Titles will be defended, wars waged, and bodies broken. Deadly is an understatement. But one question lingers in the mind of everyone. It lingers in the mind of every fan, every technician, every worker, every superstar & diva. Can The Jackal prove everyone wrong, and defeat his former partner Matt Matlock? And can he somehow survive the X-Cage match and become the Undisupted Champion? No one knows for sure. No one will know until the time comes.***

***The fans sit in their seats, eagerly awaiting the music and pyro that signal the pay per view’s start. Some of the fans seen earlier can be spotted in the front row, their signs held high in the air. And then, the opening chords of Metallica’s "Don’t Tread On Me" sound through the arena like thunder. Thirty seconds go by, and then the stage erupts in pyro as the song kicks into full gear. Up on the stage, The Jackal walks out. The fans are on their feet by now, cheering and shouting for the man considered the underdog. He stands there looking out over the crowd.***

J-Lo: Ladies and gentleman�?please welcome The Jackal!!

***Jackal stops on the ramp, and shakes hands with the fans sitting there. He walks down to the ring, and circles it, high-fiving the fans along the way. He stops at one spot, where Christine is sitting. She stands up and kisses Jackal. He then gets on the apron of the ring. He stands there, once again looking out over the thousands of people cheering for him. He steps through the ring ropes, and walks to the middle of the ring. J-Lo hands him the mic before she leaves the ring. Jackal raises the mic to his mouth just as the song finishes. The fans cheering continues, and there is so many cheers he can’t really be heard. It settle down after a moment, and he starts to speak.***

Jackal: You know…I’m looking out here over this crowd…right here in Detroit..and something is missing. I can’t see any of my predators out there. Where the hell are my predators at? (the crowd cheers) You people ready to see me whoop Matt’s ass all over the street?!

Crowd: Yeah!

Jackal: You ready to see me finally become the world heavyweight fucking champion?!

Crowd: Yeah!

Jackal: I am so damn glad to hear that! I am pumped! I am full of energy! This night will be my damn night! The year 2003 is going to end, with me on top of the ladder, on top of the SEF! This will be the night where I prove everyone wrong. You see, you fans believe in me. And I know some of the guys & gals in the back, believe in me as well. But there are people, like Chief Matt�?the crowd boos)..who don’t believe that I can do it. Who don’t think I have the skill to be a main eventer. But you see, I will punish Matt for what he has done. Despite what we’ve been through, he must pay for his stupidity. He’ll pay first by bleeding all over the streets of Detroit, and losing his spot in the X-Cage. Then he’ll pay even more when I, along with Spike & Mack, take away his precious job as the Chief.

Jackal: But I ain’t out here for that. No no. I’ve said my peace on the Street Fight. I’m here to talk about the X-Cage. A large cage, with walls inside to form an X. There’s barbed wire all over the place, you need to stuff your opponent through a hole to get rid of them. Heh…sounds like fun. And you see, this match is supposed to have eight of SEF'’s top stars. That ain’t true. There’s really only 5 or 6, and a couple of fillers. Let’s start off with Velzian. Now dude, I have only faced you once. And that was a few months ago during my XCW TV title reign. And of course, I beat you. But one thing I find weird, is that after you lost the XCW title to Matt, you dissapeared. And then you show up, win the IC title, and once again dissapear. What in the blue hell is wrong with you? You keep saying that you want to be the best in SEF? You say you want to take over the place, but how in the world can you do that if you aren’t even here? Velzian, you are nothing but a jobber. Yeah, you heard me. A worthless fucking jobber. And as much as I hate Matt, I hope to god he takes the IC title from you. At least then someone will wear it who actually deserves it.

Jackal: Then, we have D-Von Dudley. A man who I will face before the X-Cage, in the six man tag. D-Von, you are one of the weirdest competitors I have ever seen. You go from loving your brothers, to being pissed off at them, to liking them, to becoming (in a mocking tone) The Master of Darkness. (normal tone) And now you’ve ditched your ass-buddy James Mitchell, and say you are the ‘old�?D-Von. What exactly is the old D-Von? Could someone tell me? Because I really do not fucking know. Heh heh…but to be serious. D-Von, one thing you do have is heart. Every time Matt & I faced you for the tag titles, you put a hell of a fight. And when I saw your matches against Xanthus and Christopher Stone, I was really impressed. You are a hell of a competitor D-Von. And tonight I expect a hell of a fight from you.

Jackal: Next we have John Cena. Just like Velzian, he’s a filler. Now dude, I will admit. You are a talented athlete. Taking on guys like Kurt Angle & Brock Lesnar in the WWE, and then coming in here and having a short winning streak. The fact you won a match to get in the X-CAge was nothing but luck. But you are gonna need more then luck to win the match. You haven’t been here that long, and you don’t know the caliber of the opponents you have to face. You have no idea what the Dudleyz, Viper, and I or Matt, are capable of doing to you. But if you have the guts, and the desire inside of you, then you give it your best goddamn shot and give us a hell of a show. You prove that you can hang with the big guys, and you will have my respect, and you will have the fans respect, and the respect of everyone in the back.

Jackal: Now we have Strife. The kid who struggled for a long time to make it to the top of SEF, and finally made it. But then he left. I haven’t seen Strife do much in the past few weeks other then make out with Cassie. One title defence, that’s it. It makes him almost as bad as Velzian. Strife, you are a sad sad excuse for a world champ.

Jackal: Spike Dudley, the 150 pound XCW Champion. I haven’t faced you all that much man. Once, when me & Matt faced you and D-Von back in the summer. But I’ve seen you lately. You’ve stepped up your game. You have come from having your neck broken by Viper, to defeating Xanthus for the XCW title. But Spike, I know in the back of your mind there is something else. In the back of your mind, is this little love triangle that is going on between you, Patricia, and Tiger. I know that has to be getting to you, but you had best put that out of your mind tonight. And you should think of your family before you even set foot inside this match. Anything goes, barbed wire strung all over the place. You could end up really messed up man. I’m sure that Spike Jr. wouldn’t want his dad to full of scars and disfigurement when he is born.

Jackal: And of course, there is Bubba Ray. The most successful of the Dudleys. Like with D-Von, I’ve clashed with Bubba. Not that often, but often enough to know what he can do. I know that out of the three Dudleyz, he has the most desire. The biggest will to win. I never faced you one on one Bubba, but you have faced Matt one on one. And if that cocky, perverted, STD filled son of a bitch can handle you, then I sure as fuck can! As ‘Bubba Tough�?as you are, you will need to be all that much tougher to come out victorious.

Jackal: And last but not least, we have Viper. The man, who in all honesty, scares the shit out of me. Because I know that he is able to take away my career in the blink of an eye. Viper, out of all the competitors in the match tonight, I know you have the desire to take everyone one of us to the extreme. I know you are capable of crippling us, and you will do that if it means you win. But Viper, tonight I have even more desire. Tonight, one might say I have just as much, or even more desire. I will take you to your goddamn limits, more then Strife, more then Xanthus, more then Mack, more then Spike, MORE THEN ANYBODY! Because the way I see it, this his how it will go down! I kick Matt’s ass, and get into this match. I kick your ass in the six man, and cost matt his job. And then, the X-Cage. BANG! Velzian is gone! BANG! Cena is gone! BANG! BANG BANG! The Dudleyz are gone! Then Strife. And when the walls that form the X, lift up, and that is inside the cell is the ring , I will be on one side. You will on the other. And I plan on making that Deathmatch I had with Mack a few months back look like a walk in the goddamn park. I will reach inside myself, and possibly do shit I haven’t done before! Viper, you will be put to the test tonight! And you will feel the wrath, of the predator of the wrestling world!!!!

***"Don’t Tread On Me" hits again, and Jackal leaves to a roaring ovation.***
