Another installment of Saturday Night Crackdown is well underway. The fans are on their feet and cheering until they're hoarse. They wave handmade banners of all shapes and sizes rooting for their favorite superstars and stars in the making. The next match, pitting The Feared against UWE alum Braxton Carver and Asylum is about to begin. The broadcast is just back from commercial break and the camera has finished its pan of the arena. It focuses in on the commentary crew.
Steve Richardson: Welcome back, folks. We've had some exciting matches so far, but we've got more great ones in store.
Frank Roberts: I hope they get better than the snore-fests so far.
Steve Richardson: What are you talking about? The action's been great.
As Steve is about to continue the jumbotron flares to life with what appears to be news footage showing burning wreckage.
News Reporter: As you can see behind me the plane is completely engulfed in flames.
Another broadcast.
News Reporter 2: It was carrying UWE wrestlers Major Payne, Corporal Punishment, and Asylum.
The footage switches once more and a third voice is heard.
Female Reporter: All aboard are thought to be dead.
The camera focuses in on the flaming aircraft, but then switches to UWE headquarters where fans of the three wrestlers as well as their coworkers have gathered to pay their respects. Many tears are being shed in honor of the plane crash victims.
Frank Roberts: What the hell is all of this about?
Steve Richardson: We are about to see Asylum for the first time in the ring since that tragic crash. Everyone thought he was gone. Maybe this is some sort of reminder of what he's come back from.
Frank Roberts: Oh so the build up for some Hallmark Channel movie? Boring!
The footage is gone from the screen. There is only darkness and then a voice.
Asylum: The world thought I was dead!
Breathing.
Asylum: They thought it was safe!
A giggle.
Asylum: They thought the monster that lurked inside their nightmares had been vanquished once and for all!
A gurney is rolled out with four burly men pushing it. It is flanked by a mad scientist right out of a b-rated horror film. He has a shock of white hair which could be nothing less than an Einstein wig and thick coke-bottle glasses. He rushes around the gurney which we can see contains a body underneath a white sheet. He signals for the men to stop pushing at the top of the ramp.
Mad Scientist: Hold on. I think... Could it be... Yes it is.
The shrouded figure sits up. The sheet drops away revealing the masked face of Asylum.
Mad Scientist: It's alive! It's alive!
From the p.a. system Asylum's voice is heard once more.
Asylum: Yes I am. And to Scream and Slash. Tonight it is only Braxton and Asylum that need to be feared.
The lights in the arena go out and Asylum's maniacal laughter seems to echo from everywhere. When the lights come back on the top of the ramp is empty as if no one had ever been there.
