Anarchy is now underway, and the crowd inside the Showboat Atlantic City is going
absolutely crazy, enjoying the greatest show that they've probably seen so far. But there's still
plenty of show to go on Thursday, and the moment that the cameras turn back to the ringside,
after another installment of the top hundred, music starts to blare through the speakers.
Almost immediately, everyone inside the Arena gets up on their feet to cheer John Blade at
the top of their lungs as '' The Time is Now'' keeps on playing. It isn't too long until the man
himself comes from the backstage area, adrenaline pumping through his veins. Blade stops for
a moment at the top of the stage, salutes the fans with a smile, and quickly runs down the ramp
to slide inside the ring. Once inside, Blade spins up to his feet and rises back up and taunts with his Word life sign high in the air, inciting more cheers from the crowd. still
smiling, Blade bends down and picks up a microphone that one of
the stagehands passed him, wasting no time to bring it up to his mouth.
Chain Gang| John Blade: This is Thursday night ANARCHY, BABY!
Blade screams almost as loud as the crowd is cheering, nodding his head at the fans in
attendance.
Chain Gang| John Blade: I have this feelin' that this is somethin' that I tell ya' each and every year
that I come out here at the Greatest show of them all, but I just have to say it once more! I'm honored about being here in front of a
record-breaking audience for the Atlantic City, New Jersey, arena! You guys are crazy!
The crowd cheers louder as they get acknowledged for their attendance.
Chain Gang| John Blade: And these are just the kind of moments that I live for. It doesn't matter
if i win or lose and how many people I have feuds with the guys in the back or even how many
broken bones I've had throughout my
career... 'cos it's all about this moment and this moment only! The moment when I look around
and stare at the faces of twenty Five Thousands PLUS people cheerin', screamin', yellin', pumped
for this show! There's nothing in my whole career that's better than this moment. And anyone that
tells you otherwise is
lyin'!
Blade keeps on smiling at the cheering crowd.
Chain Gang| John Blade: It's moments like these that I enjoy what I do, and I'll keep on don' until my
body just can't take it anymore; and here just between us, let's hope that it ain't for a very long
time, haha! And I've gotta tell ya',
my Anarchy have always been amazin'! Just like two weeks ago i was facin' off against none other
than XXXVI, a livin' Superstar of his own. We've had our ups and downs, but I've always
respected the crap outta that man. But he ain't the only one that made my Anarchy moments great;
Betsy Granger has also been someone else who made my moments even more enjoyable... and many, many others have done the same
thing. And this year? I have absolutely no DOUBT that there's yet another Anarchy moment in the
works, for me, thanks to XXXVI.
The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as Blade mentions the names of his Opponents for next week.
Chain Gang| John Blade: Y'see... XXXVI, and I haven't seen exactly eye for an eye as of late... which
is kind of a big deal all those things considered. XXXVI and I are competing for a chance at The
Tag match and, whether we like each other or not, but I'm still gonna beat their sorry ass
on Thursday for the Tag match, but I'm honored to be the next tag team Champion like someone as great as The Storm! But I'm sure you've noticed that
things between The Storm and me aren't exactly great. Y'see, Betsy Granger has this little problem, somethin' she's
been showin' for years and years, her ego. Now, don't get me wrong, I have my own ego! I'm not
here to tell you somethin' not... but this is where XXXVI and Betsy Granger are different. while my ego
works in the ways that don't let me give up, no matter how hard people are tryin' to make me
run the other way... Betsy Granger
Ego is your typical '' i'm better than you'' New Attitude Somethin' that ain't exactly fittin' of someone as big as XXXVI. There ain't no one denyin' it! XXXVI was, is, and always
will be one of the greatest of his new Generation! I've got to tell ya, without Betsy Granger,
there probably won't be a John Blade or Latoya Hixx.
Blade slowly nods his head.
Chain Gang| John Blade: That's right, I've said it! but XXXVI. is still one of the men who have
opened many doors to girls like Jenny, Summer Page, and Betsy Granger... but XXXVI revolutionized the sport! He did, and said things that many
people didn't think they'd be capable of saying. Together with New Generation, Betsy Granger has
changed the landscape of this business! And I respect that! What I don't respect is when they decide
to come into my home and tell me to change my rules 'Cos that ain't gonna happen! I'm not here
to talk about how great how many EFed Championships I've held in my career... no; I'm here to
kick some ass! And if someone put me where I am today, it's you women and men who keep on cheerin' my name week in and week out, makin' me just want to come back every single week to keep on doin'
What I loved! something that Granger and XXXVI don't understand. They don't understand that I'm
here to take the spotlight away from them, and i'm certainly wasn't here to have a beef with them.
But they made this a problem... a problem I'm
about to solve. I've shown in the past that I ain't afraid of facin' XXXVI... matter of fact, I
welcome it, 'cos I'm sure that's somethin' the XWF Universe was dyin' to see! but then again...
Betsy Granger ain't the only girl that
has a problem with me.
Blade smirks at the crowd again, having them cheer in response.
Chain Gang| John Blade: But I really don't mind sayin' it again! ' Cos that's exactly what is going to
happen. In an ideal world, I would deal with Betsy Granger and XXXVI New Separately, but I don't
mind doing it this Thursday, and I know, for a fact, that if someone
is in trouble this week... that's Betsy Granger herself. 'Cos while XXXVI and I do have our differences. I
would like to think that one of us has grown up enough to see which one is moving forward to the Tag match, but to see that is our common enemy. XXXVI is my
enemy, and I never wanted him... to win the Tag match, but Betsy Granger? made herself my target! She
can go around talkin' about how she's The Bestesty and how she deserves the spot XXVI,
and I held weeks ago... but that ain't goin' to change the fact that this Thursday? he's goin'
to be left on her back, thanks to me! Hit me with everything you two got, insult Latoya and me in our career, and everythin' that I stand for all you want... but just know, all actions have
consequences, you're about to find out yours.
Blade points and stares at the camera that's closest to her, as if talking to Granger himself. then
He looks back up to the crowd.
Chain Gang| John Blade: So, ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, Stormnation members of all ages.
Get ready! 'Cos Thursday. John Blade and Latoya
XXXVI n Betsy Granger are about to give you a Tag match you'll be talkin' about for YEARS to come!
AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I DON'T WIN! 'Cos in the end... IF YOU WANT SOME... COME... GET... SOME!
Blade drops the microphone on the mat and throws his hands in the air, in his '' Blade Gang Soldier
taunt and a huge smile on his face. The Crowd keeps on cheering him in the background,
already pumped for his Tag match, while the camera fades to black.
