The feed started up to reveal the lovable General Manager, Matt Shanahan, lounging in his office chair with his feet propped up on the table. Unlike previous sightings, Mindy was nowhere to be seen; the God of Punks was completely alone and content, judging by the small grin on his lips. In his usual attire of black jeans, boots, and a muscle shirt, he looked extremely out of place for an office job. Somehow, that's what he was doing with his career nowadays.
"2013... Two-thousand and Thirteen... Quite a year it was, huh? All over the world... hell, all over the industry! We saw so much together, ya know? The retirement of Chrono Clepsydra, the fall of so many companies, some of the most bizarre matches and title changes in history... and some of the best, too. We saw many of our friends leave us, like Mike Landry... but we saw even more arise from the depths and begin their climb to the mountaintop. Take Salem Croft, for example. A rookie who never got the rightful chance he deserved anywhere, and now he's BBW's world champion! Man... some things are truly amazing..."
"2013 was a year of change for the entire industry. For better or worse is up for debate... but for anyone that watched our final broadcast of the year, you saw signs of the past -all- over the place. You saw faces that you thought you'd never see again. You saw omens of darker days on the horizon! You saw... you saw a -new- era, a new tide pushing at the levees of 2013... well, those levees have snapped. 2014 is here, and with it, a change in the winds. Men and women a like that were once forgotten in time will emerge and embrace the brutality that -is- Bad Blood Wrestling! From the ******** Christina Parks all the way down to the ******** Vaseline Man! New faces, old faces, all gathering in the name of Bad Blood, for the sake of Massacre! Whether it's the markings on the wall or the beasts feasting on the weak, you will see a whole new era in Bad Blood, one that will show the world that -we- are the rising elite!... but how to introduce these men and women, you might ask? Simply debut them, throw them matches and hope they take off?... No, no."
Matt paused from his eccentric speech to pull his feet down off the desk. He took his time to straighten up in his chair and lean forward on the desk, his hands laced into eachother and his eyes focused on the camera.
"With all this arrival of talent to Bad Blood, I saw only one way to usher it all in. The start of a new tradition in -my- company! An annual start for the new year... an invitational! A tournament! That's right, starting on our next broadcast will be a tournament that will pit twenty-four men and women against each other! New talent, returning talent; rookies and legends colliding all for one goal, one purpose... to prove that they have what it takes to make in Bad Blood! If you followed my plots on our first broadcast, you noticed how I numbered and randomized all the opponents in the two tournaments I had. We're following that format once more, but with the scale of this tournament, you can bet that it's going to be filled with even more surprises."
"You're probably wondering what's in it for the winner, right? Some shot at the world title? A fancy claim to fame? Well, you'd almost be right. The winner will be granted a shot at -any- title they want in the company, whether it be the Crimson City, the OECW Seasons, or the World Championship! And they'll get to call themselves the winner of the first ever Sanguine Invitational!"
Silence took over the office while Matt leaned back, his signature smirk slowly crossing his lips.
"The tournament is about to begin; prepare yourselves, competitors. Let me be the first to welcome you to 2014! The start of a new era... The Era of Bad Blood."
