Here to confirm on Damien's behalf is his best friend John Carny. John sat down with the W2K cameras to discuss Rage and his best friends role in the show.

"I have heard the same rumors that you have heard about Damien Collins taking Tim Torn's spot in the big Six Man Tag this week on Rage #113. Now before Damien and I disucussed the posibility of he taking Tim's spot. I was going to step up and wrestle in the match, but Damien insisted that he would be the better man for the job."

"So yes Damien is taking Tim's spot on Rage this week, but I am here to conform the much bigger rumor, and that is that I will be DC's back up in case he decides that he is unable to wrestle. So folks cross your fingers that Damien contracts the Asian Bird Flu or something of that nature so that you all can see John "The Sidekick" Carny live in action."

|John pauses.|

"I realize the Asian Bird Flu is quite serious and I wouldn't wish it on Damien, so instead if you could wish something a little less severe on DC. Like Shaking Baby Syndrome, that would be great!"

|John nods at the camera and we fade to black.|
