After the 1st match of the show concludes, the broadcast heads backstage where Joe Beakmen stands by in the dressing room of Upper Echelon. The entire group stood by with him en mass. Beakmen starts the interview off with Scott O'Dell.
Tonight's the night we've all been waiting for. The night we find out who you're mystery opponent is going to be. Stan O'Malley promised it was going to be someone who was game. Are you concerned at all what the GM might have up his sleeve?
With his vintage grin, Scott replies.
Does it look like I'm concerned, Beakmen? Does it look like ANY of us are concerned? So what if Stan plans on pulling some magic rabbit out of his hat. Do you really think one man is going to turn the tide of all this to his favor? HAAA!!! At least his "troops" now have themselves an official team name now. The Bravehearts. Real cute, fellas...seriously. What's even cuter is the fact that I can probably bet my purse for tonight that they're all feelin' real confident about how tonight's gonna go for them, seein' as they managed to get the drop on us at Overload 2 weeks ago. Well fellas, I hate to be the guy to burst that little bubble of yours, but if you think you're gonna catch us off our game tonight like you did 2 weeks ago, you've got another thing coming, my friends.
Sounds to me like you guys have a game plan already prepared.
C'mon now, Beakz. Since when do we not have a game plan? We wouldn't be who we are today if we didn't plan 3 steps ahead of everyone else. That's the reason why tonight...in my match against O'Malley's chosen one, I'm going to have someone in my corner. A man who I'd trust with my life. Italy's own, Primo Valiante.
Attention then turns to Primo as he adds to the conversation. |

It'd be the 1st time we'd see Primo since losing the National Title some 2 months ago. Dress in a sharp Italian suit, Primo speaks up.
Your faith in me is appreciated my friend. As is the feeling of finally returning to my homeland. It will be here in Tuscona that Mr. O'Malley comes to grips with the truth. A brutal truth indeed. It's been no feat of luck the fact that we've dominated this little war to this point. Ours is an army of soldiers all fighting for the same cause. His is a band of mercenaries. Single minded men who have decided to finally band together, after fighting on their own as individuals and failing in that regard. And to that point, Stan's decided to add a new member to his cause. A man who'll supposedly swing things to their favor. Hmmmph. Stan and I have a long history. And if there's on thing I know all to well about our GM, is that he has a nasty habit of putting all of his eggs in one basket. A fact that's failed him numerous times in his wrestling career, and will prove to do the same yet again as Overload's GM.
Well, given your track records...I don't think the idea of you being at ringside is going to fly with O'Malley.
*Heh heh heh heh* Of course it wouldn't. Why do you think we decided on it? Fear not my portly friend. I have no intention on getting physically involved in the match. Like Scott of all people needs my assistance in defeating whoever it is O'Malley calls upon. In fact, we invite any member of The Bravehearts to do the same. Be in the corner of O'Malley's charge if you see fit. It won't make any difference. Scott's victory will come by his own hand, not by the helping hand of myself.

Jasta then interjects into the conversation...
You know what? That gives me a brilliant idea as well. Tonight, I'm to face Osh Vaughn once again. Why don't I let Shane Camden bare witness to his new mentor's execution 1st hand? Yea, that sounds like a plan. Tonight, Camden can be in Vaughn's corner...
Jasta then pats the shoulder of his protege, the massive Marc Cera.
And Cera here will be in mine.
The rest of the group grin and nod at the idea.

Scott speaks next.
That'sgenius, Bryan. Pure genius. Just be sure to save something of the old fart for me, will ya'? I've still got some unfinished business with him of my own.
Scott looks throw the crowd to find Brian Yang...
Hey, champ. Come over here and talk about the history that's gonna be made here tonight. |

Brian Yang steps forth and speaks.
History? OH YEA...you mean tonight when I beat Sushi-X's ass again and rack up my, what is it? 11th defense as No Limits champ? Kinda lost track of that, *heh heh heh*. Another notch gets added to my gunpost, and I further establish the fact that I'm the greatest champion this company will ever see. No big deal though, it's not like anyone's expecting otherwise, eh?
You sound pretty confident, despite the fact that, well...Sushi did give you a run for your money two weeks ago, Yang.
Yea, yea, yea...so what. You wanna give him a Sushi-Snak for doing a good job? When it comes to be a championship caliber wrestler, there is no gray area. There's no "almost". There's either you win, or your lose. Sushi-X lost. Damn the fact he might have wrestled the best match in his career, he lost. He gave the most he could, and it still wasn't good enough. That's something that a loser like him, you and all the rest of the losers of the world would spin as a positive, but the truth of the matter is it's the mother of all negatives. It means his best wasn't good enough. So unless he was taking the night off two weeks ago and actually saving his best for tonight, which I think is as doubtful as you ever turning down a plate of Pasta, Beakmen...my No Limits title isn't going anywhere tonight.

Alston steps in and gets his shots in next.
Heh, you wanna talk about sure things tonight? Let's talk about me havin' Ryan Fierhart tonight. The same Ryan Fierhart I beat ass on not once, not twice, not three, or four, or even five times before. But SIX, count 'em, six times in a row back in 2007. You don't forget when you get worked by guy, and I know he remembers it, cuz I damn sure do. Tonight, it's a reunion he ain't gonna be to thrilled to attend, cuz I'm gonna blast his ass just like I did back in the good ol' days. HOLLA!!!

Scott finishes things off by saying...
You see, Beakman? Game planning is key. Upper Echelon is an army. Each one of us know our battle plan for tonight. All that matters from here, is executing. And there's no one better then executing then the men standing in this ring. That's why we're Upper Echelon...the best in the business. And I defy O'Malley or anyone else on the planet to prove otherwise.
But just then, the Upper Echelon "Army" would be joined by the very men they were set to do battle against. |

In the locker room comes the GM Stan O'Malley, flanked by Ryan Fierhart, Adam Devlin and Osh Vaughn. Beakmen positions the mic towards Stan, as he obviously had something to say.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. I'm happy to see that you boys are all so focused and prepared for tonight's matches, I really am. Because your gonna need that focus. You all were informed previously who you'd be facing tonight, but I thought it'd be in good taste to tell you what matches you'll be in tonight face to face. We'll start off with the No Limits Title match, Mr. Yang.
Stan looks to Yang.
Tonight's match between you and Sushi-X is indeed gonna be something historic. Because it's going to be the 1st time the No Limits Title will be defended in this particular type of match. For the last year and a half you've been going on about how you're the best pound for pound wrestler in the world. Well, tonight we're gonna see if all of your hot air is hype or truth. Because tonight, you and Sushi-X will be going at it in a 20 Minute IRONMAN match.
The fans in the arena boom in cheer at the announcement, but Stan wasn't done.
Next comes you, Mr. Alston. You and Ryan here will be renewing your old rivalry tonight, but it's not gonna be in your conventional type of match. In fact, Alston, Jasta, Scott...all of your matches won't be conventional. Not by a long shot. Seeing as we're here in Italy, the country that helped give birth to Wrestling as we know it, I thought all of your matches needed to fit the occasion. So tonight, all of your matches will be fought in the most grueling test of skill, determination and conditioning XWA has to offer...
PURE RULES.
The crowd booms into and even thunderous cheer at this bit of news.
Tony: Now THAT'S what I call setting the tone. Pure Rules all around. Hell, O'Dell and Alston have never even wrestled a Pure Rules match before.
Willy: Pure Rules is a whole other ball game from regular matches. It's the reason why so few superstars succeed in it. And we get to see THREE of 'em tonight.
Oh yea, and before you try to weasel your way out of it, Scott...the matches are already signed, sealed and delivered...with written consent from Ms. Blackheart AND Mr. G. So what that basically means boys, is that if you're not up to wrestling these matches tonight, you're in breach of contract and that mean...well...I don't have to pay you. And I have to admit, you guys do look sharp in your suits every week. I'd hate to have to cut into your purses for tonight.[/font]
Stan chuckles a bit, knowing he'd effectively backed Upper Echelon into a corner.

Alston, feeling the pressure, speaks...
Oh hell no...oh HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLZ no. This sucka did not just do what he just did. Do you not know who I am? Are you and ASS? This Mutha Fibba must not know who the hell I am. I'm The Big O, Bitch!!! Ooooooooooooo so great, Ooooooooooooooo so fly and OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo I just whooped yo' ASS. I'm The Promised One. The man who is going to save my people from themselves. And save my people...
He looks in the direction of Fierhart.
...from people, like you. I'm gonna finish what I started back in 2007. My people demand it. And I have to give my people, what they demand.

Ryan would step up and speak next.
ThePromised One? Seriously? *Hmmmph* You could be the T-Rex, The Timelord or The Terminator for all I care. Fact of the matter is tonight, only thing you're gonna be, is pulling my foot out of your ass. You're right, Alston. 2007 does still sit in the back of my head. And so has the fact that I never quite got my chance to show you my new tricks since then. At Overload, when Adam here put Scotty's ass through a table, I was kinda mad I didn't get the chance to make it you gettin' some "wood". But I get something better tonight. You, in the ring, with no where to run, and no where to hide. And trust me Alston, I'm gonna savor every damn minute of it.

Alston gets bent outta shape, and some of the others end up having to hold him back from doing something stupid.

[shadow=red,left,300]After laughing to himself a bit at Alston's outburst, Osh focuses his statement at Jasta.
Pure rules sounds damn good to me. In fact, it sounds like something that'd be right up my alley. And what sweetens the pot more is the fact that it's just the type of match I can take full advantage of to kick your ass, Jasta. But why have your boy Cera there and Shane sit on the sidelines, eh? I'm sure the young fella would love to see some action tonight, and I know Shane's game. So how about we make our match a Tornado Tag Pure Rules match, eh?[/shadow]

Marc Cera leans over and whispers something into Jasta's ear. Jasta then gives his answer to the re-upped challenge.
Consider it done.

Adam decides it was time for him to weigh into things as well, with his focus being his old "friend" O'Dell.
Hey Scotty. Since Primo there has decided to put himself in your corner against Stan's choice of your opponent...and oh boy what a choice it is...I think I'm gonna take Primo up on his offer, and be in your opponent's corner myself. Ya' know, just to make sure you boys don't pull any shenanigans, ya' know? That ok with you, Boss?
He waits for Stan's response.

Stan answers...
That's actually a brilliant idea, Adam. Glad you thought of it.
Stan claps his hands together with a satisfied grin on his face.
Well, I have to say that this lil' meeting went better then I anticipated. So, with that said and done, gentlemen...good luck to you. You're gonna need it. Let's go, fellas.
O'Malley and the contingent of Bravehearts accompanying him all file out of the Upper Echelon dressingroom.
