Van Hayden stands in the ring following a break. The fans cheer on him on as holds a mic in his grasp. As his music, still playing in the background fades out, Van raises the mic and speaks out.
There's an old saying that goes "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Now I don't know where the origins of the saying comes from, but I do know that it damn sure applied to my match against Craig Toa last week. Toa's a big guy. 7 feet & 330 pounds of Samoan muscle. But all the muscle in the world couldn't help you last week, could it, Toa? You see my friend, it doesn't matter how big, or small, or skilled you are when you step in this ring against me. Because when that bell rings, there's only one mission. Only one thing that my sights are set on. Your imminent destruction. I defy any man...ANY man in this company to fight me and think they're not walking away with a few years taken off of their life. You see Toa, last week, you got just a taste of what the real Van Hayden is about. But it doesn't stop there. No, no, no...not a chance, my friend. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm not through with you yet, Toa. Last week was just a teaser. This week, we get the whole show. In all of it's violent splendor. The last thing you said was "It's just business" last week. And I couldn't agree more. The problem is...I deal in the business of hurting people. Last week, I dealt a blow to that Samoan pride of yours. This week, I deal a blow to the rest of you.
Van's words had a firm, almost ominous tone to them. Not much time would pass before the entrance theme of Toa cued over the PA.

Toa emerges from from behind the set with a less then thrilled look on his face...
Willy: Hot dayum! He looks pissed!
With mic in hand, Toa answers back to Van's statement.
Look who all of a sudden has some bass in his voice? Talkin' like he's some kind of intimidator. I think you're startin' to buy into your own hype, chump. And it ain't a good look. I'll call a spade a spade, you got me last week. But talkin' like it was a forgone conclusion? You don't get that luxury. I don't give a damn who you've defeated in the past...you beatin' me was the luckiest thing that's ever happened in you pathetic life. But I wouldn't get so attached to the concept, cuz it ain't gonna happen again. But don't think you'll leave tonight empty handed. Oh no, brutha'. I've got a special surprise for you that should be arriving right about...
now.
Toa lowers his mic with a satisfied and expectant grin...
Tony: What's he mean by a special surprise?
Willy: I ain't likin' the sound of that, Mi amigo...

From over the barrier on Van's blind side jumps a very familiar face. The ever volatile extremist Nigel Sledge. Tony: HEY!!! That's SLEDGE!!! What the hell is he doing!!! Willy: Ain't it obvious? That's the surprise Toa meant!Sledge slides into the ring like a slithering snake, and before Van could react, Sledge railroads him from behind, forcing Van against the ropes. He follows be delivering rapid fire shots to Van's ribs and back while he was prone on the ropes. Turn Van around, the then proceeds to Irish Whip him to the other side of the ring, and deliver a scintillating Bog Boot right to the bud of his jaw. As Nigel continued the assault, Toa had also made his way to the ring.

The grimace of anger was now replaced by a satisfied and sadistic smirk. Toa had learned his lessons well from Pollox Troy on the fine art of manipulating things to one's advantage. Toa still had his mic, and begins berating the groggy Van Hayden.
Not so smug are you now, eh? What happened to all of that big talk, Van? You need to get into the habit of realizing that there's more to survival then talkin' tough. Sometimes, a tactical assist is in order. And it pays to have friends in high AND low places. But you'd never know about that, would you? Mr. Lone Wolf. Mr. Enigmatic Vagabond. No one is here to save you, just like no one is gonna save you from what me and Sledge here do to you later tonight. As a matter of fact, why wait until later?
Toa drops his mic to the floor. He looks to Sledge and asks him to go and secure a Steel Chair...

The request was music to Nigel's ears. He rolls down and out of the ring to terrorize the Time Keeper's table, shoving the man out of his seat. Sledge takes the chair and slides in back into the ring. But rather then fold it up to take a swing at Hayden, Sledge sets the chair up center ring instead. He looks to Toa and barks out...
Break his bloody neck!!!

Toa gives an evil grin, as he was more then happy to fulfill the request. He lifts the barely stirring Van Hayden off of the ground, and delivers a stiff kick to his sternum. He then puts him in the set up position for a Powerbomb facing the now set up Steel Chair.
Tony: Dear god. He's going top Powerbomb him into the chair!!! This is going to far!!! Someone has to stop this!!!

The booing of the fans quickly change into a thunderous cheer, as storming from backstage with a chair of his own was none other then Van's long time ally...Ryan Fierhart!
Willy: Look!!! It's RMF!!! Ryan Fierhart's Back!!!
Tony: And not a moment to soon!!!
Ryan slides into the ring full force. With the chair in hand he takes a swing at Toa that would make Babe Ruth envious...

Toa manages to side step the potentially concussion causing chair shot, and both he and Sledge beat a hasty and strategic retreat from the ring. Well documented was the rivalry that still simmered between Toa and Fierhart, as well as the fact that he and Hayden had teamed together on numerous occasions. Seeing as it had been months since anyone saw Ryan, Toa himself was caught a little off guard by him making the save.

As the two men withdraw from the ring, Ryan beckons for them to get back in an settle things like men. Throwing his chair down to the mat, Ryan helps Van back up to his feet. He the secures the mic once held by Toa on the floor.
So you two jackasses wanna hit and run, huh? Well let's see how you two do when there ISN'T anywhere to run!!! You two asshats against me and Van, TONIGHT...in a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH!!!

As He and Toa back up the ramp, Sledge can be heard on the camera's mic saying...
You're on, boy-o!!! You're gonna wish you stayed your arse in L.A.!!!

Toa doubles the confirmation of acceptance with a nod. Even though Ryan's arrival threw a wrench into his intentions of taking Van Hayden out, it seemed now he could kill two birds with one stone.

The final shot of the scene shows Ryan and Van in the ring, Ryan nodding in anticipation of not only getting back into an XWA ring, but getting his hands on Toa once more. Even though it would be a Falls Count Anywhere match, chances were not even a venue the size of the Prudential Center could contain the brawl that was potentially going to ensue later that night. Overload then cuts to another March Madness promotional video.
