Welcome to Gaia! ::

The show opens with the boss of DHW already in the ring with a mic in one hand and a clipboard in the other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the last stop to Blaze of Glory, live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. We've got some big matches on the card. Let's start off talking about tonight. Tonight, the DHW heavyweight title will be defended as Jack Arson has finally decided to cash in his contract properly, in a normal sanctioned match. However, to reduce interference from the Chosen that could jeopardize not only tonight's main event, but my Blaze of Glory main event, tonight's title match will take place inside a steel cage. There'll be no controversy, no whining, no excuses."

the boss pauses for the crowd to cheer. Everyone loves a steel cage match

"The winner of that match will face the winner of last week's battle royal, Knight, in the main event of Blaze of glory. We will hear from Knight tonight, but as a bonus, Knight will face the Inter-Blaze champion, Trent, in nontitle action here tonight. Speaking of Trent, he'd better be looking ahead at his title match as well. Blaze of Glory, I'm granting Pantera his one on one rematch for the title. Pantera names the stipulation."

More cheers break out for that.

"We all know Jarel Damone will put his career on the line in a no holds barred match at Blaze of Glory. Tonight, we will see the final confrontation between the two before what may be a historic match. Not to be left out, at Blaze of Glory, Janelle Damone has requested a singles match with Ultimo Insano, the member of the Chosen she has the biggest problem with. That has been granted. And if we want to keep up with the newest additions to the Damone family, Andre Damone will face one half of the DHW tag team champions, Damien umbra, for the right to compete for the titles at Blaze of Glory. Last but not least, we know Cartwright will defend the DHW Honor championship in a flaming tables match against Lana Leone. Tonight, both are in singles action against opponents they are all too familiar with."

Drako holds up the clipboard.

"I'm sure many of you are wondering what this is. This is a sign up list for another bit of history I want to make here. I'm always on the lookout for new contenders, and I want to determine them at Blaze of Glory. But the question is, how? What kind of match would work? I want something a bit different. We've had cage matches and battle royals. We've had ladder matches. How about a scavenger hunt of sorts? Here's what I'm going to do. Four referees will be placed in different areas in the arena. One in the ring, one in the vendor area of the arena. One in the locker room backstage. One just outside of the arena. We're going to get a little Xtreme here, ladies and gentlemen. The task is simple. Each of this referees is there to count a pinfall or submission. That person will gain a title shot, but you won't know which one until the following Inferno. All you can do is choose an area to go to. So, we'll limit this to two people per area. If you want in on the action, all you have to do is come here and sign up for one of the four areas. Blaze of Glory, you show up and fight for the shot at the title. So, who wants it?"

"Well, what's a surprise match without a little magic from our resident witch."

Drako extends the clipboard.

"Quick and simple here, for a former Honor champ. All you have to do is sign on the line under the location you want to report to. Choose carefully. Never know which location gets which title shot."

After Shadow signed his name for the vending area, Angel would make his way out from the back, his Chosen brother Bryan Bain had elected to compete inside the ring at Blaze of Glory, but Angel had a much more extreme course of action planned for the evening, as well as a challenge to issue to a man he had unfinished business with. He already had a mic in his hand so he would raise it as he walked down the ramp and would look down at Drako as he let everyone know where he was going to be competing.

"You know something, I was thinking backstage as you were out here announcing this that it was more or less a way to turn my group against one another, because what happens if Arson wins the World Title tonight and then you award Bryan Bain a shot at his Chosen Brothers title? Or Trents Title? Then it dawned on me, there is a shot that I could win a chance to face Cartwright for the honor title and I think you are masking it in the most un honorable of venues....which is why I am signing up to compete in front of the arena in the streets!!!"

Angel would slide into the ring, and walk right up to Drako, snatching the clipboard and signing his name to the contract for the street front match. He would then look back up at Drako, and would continue on.

"But you know, I happen to know you have signed someone with whom I have unfinished business with as well Drako, and the reason I am signing up for the street, is because I want a chance to take this man outside of his element and see just what kind of man he truly is. The last time we tied up, our feud was cut short due to an injury of mine sidelining me just before our rubber match to break the neverending tie we had between us. But here and now, I am issuing the challenge to Matt Draven to bring his Charismatic Clonigma self down to this ring and sign his name next to mine...either that or prove to the entire world why you are really nothing more then a fan favorite who needed to hang up your boots a long time ago."

Angel had no idea if Draven was even here...but calling him out would no doubtedly get back to him, and what if anything would come from that cannot be determined at the moment but the facts of the matter are Angel has signed up for the streets...who is going to meet him out there for a brawl?

(for the sake of wrapping this up)

"As a matter of fact Angel, I have a new signee who just can't wait to face you. But you won't know who he is until he gets there. But allow me to clear up who the rest of you will face."

The boss looks back and forth between Bain and Claire.

"You two were first out, Bain wants the ring, and Claire, I know you don't know what it means to back down from a challenge. The ring is yours."

Drako turns to Shadow.

"Shadow, my favorite in ring vet not related to me, I think you have some unfinished business here. Your opponent for Blaze of Glory will be the man who's a** you kicked the night you came into DHW, Hiro. Let's see if you can make history repeat itself."

with that, Drako takes up his clipboard.

"It's the biggest show of the year for DHW, lady and gentlemen. So lets be clear. For all four matches, there are no rules. No count outs, no disqualifications, and falls count anywhere. I won the rights for XCW, and we're going to revive some of its customs on the biggest stage. Xtreme rules folks. Anything goes on the way to that three count or submission. And keep this in mind, the only person that know which title shot you'll be winning is me. You'll find out the following Inferno. With that I say good luck to all and make it good."
