The arena lights dim and a spotlight shines on the arena entrance as Weak Aside by Bloodbath blasts out of the arena speakers.
♫We're born to reign as masters To ashes we'll burn the pastures Repell their ways back to nothingness♫
Loud boos are heard from the crowd as Cartwright enters the arena wearing his street clothes and an English Flat Cap on his head.
♫Chaos in symmetry This glorious victory In darkness only we can see♫
Cartwright makes his way to the ring with a serious look on his face.
♫Transcend with rage of the elite The new order come to rise and shine Write new history as we wipe and delete An urge to rid this world of human waste Weak aside♫
Cartwright demands a microphone before he enters the ring, which he receives from a member of the ringside crew.
Crowd: "NICE HAT! NICE HAT! NICE HAT!"
Cartwright looks annoyed by the chant.
Cartwright: "You people won't be able to appreciate or understand the situation that I am in. I don't have time for your silly chants!"
The crowd boos again as Cartwright dismisses their funny chant.
Cartwright: "Last week, myself and my friends were ambushed by an absolute lunatic named Salem Croft!"
The boos turn to cheers at the mention of Cartwright's nemesis.
Cartwright: "What he did to Gary Guitar, The Blood Imbruer and The Jester was nothing short of absolutely disgusting. Salem Croft tried to kill all of my friends. They are all in hospital right at this very moment. Salem should be arrested! You are all cheering a dangerous and wanted criminal!"
This doesn't stop the fans from cheering Salem.
Cartwright: "Now I have to constantly look over my shoulder incase that lunatic manages to find me. I shouldn't have to be in this situation. This is an unsafe working environment!"
The crowd begins booing Cartwright again for crying over a situation he deserves to be in.
Cartwright: "So security, I expect you all to be on high alert whenever I am in this arena! I expect you to protect me, no matter the cost to yourselves! I expect you to be armed and ready for Salem Croft!"

The titantron comes to life as Cartwright whines in the ring, a shaky camera angle of somewhere in the private parking area of the arena. A tattooed man with dark hair, forearm tape, black jeans, and a sleeveless black shirt was butchering a white limousine with what appeared to be a fire axe, hammering swing after swing to leave gashes in the body of the stretched vehicle.
A half dozen security guards started to form a semicircle around the man, who turned around with axe in hand to reveal lettering on his shirt that read, "I Choose Violence". Excitedly, the crowd cheered for Salem Croft as he smirked at the nervous and hesitant guards, holding the axe straight up by the end of the handle as he raised his other empty hand up as well, almost as a sign of surrender.
"Wait, this isn't where I parked!" Salem jested, the axe slipping down and swinging back to drive the pointy end of the axe into one of Cartwright's tires, air hissing heard as he let go of the weapon and started marching towards the ringside area, camera crew and security following his every move as he departed from the wreckage and made his way towards the entrance tunnel of the arena!

Cartwright looks emotionally hurt by what he sees on the titantron.
Cartwright: "You piece of crap! My beloved limousine! You have no idea how much that beauty cost!"
The crowd is pointing and laughing at Cartwright's pain.
Cartwright: "You people! You're all a bunch of jerks! I don't deserve this! Stop supporting that nut job! He doesn't need any more encouragement!"
Crowd: "SALEM! SALEM! SALEM!"
Cartwright begins to pace inside the ring.
Cartwright: "Oi! Salem! You better not be thinking of coming out here tonight! Unless you want to be shot by the most armed security that this country has ever seen! The most armed! Ever seen! This country!"

From the tunnel adjacent to the entrance ramp, Salem started strides towards the ring, still tailed by half a dozen security and a camera crew. The crowd cheered as each step brought Salem nearer to Cartwright, and made his entourage of armed escorts more nervous and stiff.
Even though Cart's words were being broadcast through the entire arena, Salem feigned not hearing him, cupping a hand to his ear and gesturing to the ring as he started to descend the ramp and approach the squared circle!

Cartwright: "I know that you can hear me! There's something else you need to hear! Stop where you are right now!"
The security team around ringside form a barrier at the bottom of the ramp between Cartwright and Salem.
Cartwright: "This is very important. You can not and MUST NOT take another step closer to this ring!"
Cartwright takes a piece of paper out of his pocket.
Cartwright: "This...is a restraining order."
The crowd loudly boos the lengths that Cartwright is going to to avoid Salem.
Cartwright: "If you break this restraining order by getting even a millimeter closer, you will be arrested and locked away for a very long time."

The security Cartwright brought formed a line preventing Salem from reaching the ring, while the security at Salem's flank stood by cautiously, effectively containing Salem at the bottom of the ramp. Croft and chuckled at Cartwright's threat, his eyes steely cold as he stared bullets into the paper Cart was holding.
The guards in front of 'The Copperhead' gestured for Salem to turn around and leave, and as the crowd booed and Salem appeared hesitant, he slowly turned around and started heading back up the ramp, a bubble of security guards surrounding him as Salem started back up the ramp and into the tunnel!

Cartwright looks happy with himself as he watches Salem walk towards the tunnel.
Cartwright: "There we go. See, Salem is not that stupid after all. Somehow he has a few braincells left after the beating he got two years ago!"
Cartwright twirls the microphone around in his hand, thinking that everything is all calm and dandy.

As the camera crew stays back and watches Salem vanish into the darkness of the tunnel, a dozen guards accompanying him, the sounds of struggle and pain would be heard, but the crew couldn't make out what was happening in the shadows.
A couple seconds later, about four guards would hurriedly come stumbling out of the tunnel, now fleeing from a revved hum and pair of headlights as Salem came barreling out of the tunnel and down the ramp on a golf cart, narrowly missing the security who dived out of the way!

The crowd roars for Salem as he drives his way down the ramp in a golf cart.
Cartwright looks stunned, he is this stupid!
Cartwright looks around at the security team.
Cartwright: "YOU'RE ARMED! FIRE AT WILL! SHOOT HIM!"

Salem veers the golf cart towards the ring, bailing out and rolling into the ring where multiple guards started forming a human wall between Cartwright and Croft! As 'The Copperhead' crept up closer, a sadistic smile on his face, Salem would crack his knuckles and size up the security separating him from his target!
As Cartwright screamed for weapons, the nervous security team would draw taser guns, pointing their electrodes at Cart's enemy, Salem stopping with maybe ten feet between him and the Brit's last line of defense!

As Salem slowly inched his way towards Cartwright, the guards braced, the animosity of Salem almost sending shivers down their spines. They drew and aimed their tasers, enough combined voltage between the security team to stun a bull. However soon it would feel like hell had frozen over...
With a booming thud the lights of the arena went out. Engulfing everyone, even the vendors in the lobbies could not escape the unsettling darkness that over took the entire building. The chatter of the crowd and their buzzing anticipation filled the void, as the seconds dragged on for what seemed like an eternity.
Then just as suddenly and thunderously as the lights went out, they returned to life, accompanied by a ear rattling and ground shaking roar. A figure cloaked in all black too large to call a man stood between Salem and Cartwright's hired guards. In moments it was clear who the figure was, over seven feet tall, near five hundred pounds. A lifeless and unnerving black mask shrouded by a worn and tattered hood...
The God of Destruction, The Dreadnaught, Disciple has returned.
With the crowd going nuts, the hired goons were shook take one big step back in unison. Their faces turned pale as the canvas, the mass of flesh and bone staring them down through the black of his mask. As the tension continued to mount, Disciple slowly turned his head his body turning half way to meet Salem.
Now the unmoving stare of Disciple's mask met with the Copperhead's venomous gaze, which was momentarily perplexed, a look of confusion on Salem's face. It seemed he hadn't been expecting a random encounter with one of his old enforcers, back from the early days of Croft's career. But slowly, the snake smiled at the giant, glancing over at Cartwright as though trying to give Disciple some sort of signal!
Without a word between them, Disciple knew what to do. Taking his bear sized hands and grasping Salem by the waist of his pants with one hand, and placing the other across his chest to guide him, and in one effortless motion the behemoth tossed the Copperhead through the guards parting them like the red sea. Than without hesitation Disciple booted one of the remaining standing guards in the face. leveling the poor soul where he stood.possibly even injurying the man. For a moment the Dreadnaught stared down at the wreckage of the man's face.
The rest of the guards soon got back to their feet. aiming their tazers once more. three of them fired. all six prongs hitting their mark. over 50,000 volts three times over where suddenly coursing through the nervous system of the mastodon of a man. For a few moments, Disciple was stopped dead in his tracks. All the while, the crowd going nuts as the chaos erupted. Slowly Disciple looked as if he was dropping to a knee. However... Disciple would show just how monstrous he could be. As he stopped himself from dropping to a knee, and slowly stood up right. Without even pulling the prongs of the tazer out, Disciple took a massive stride in and delieved another boot to one of the guards.
Now the rest truly begin to panic. The two that fired before removed their spent carts, and reloaded in a hurry, while the others that hadn't fired yet readied their aim. Soon enough Disciple now how four 14 prongs sticking from him with 8 of them still pumping in 50,000 volts a piece. Any other man, and this would seem illogical and inappropriate, The man these guards were up against was no mere man, but something more like a mythological beast.

Disciple got the hint, tossing Salem through the guards like Colossus throwing Wolverine with a Fastball Special! With as much love for the kill and eagerness for revenge as that Marvel character, Salem tackled Cartwright through the air, oblivious to Disciple's struggle with security but not worried for his friend, instead concerned with latching onto Cartwright and taking him for a tumble out of the ring!

Cartwright was left shocked by the sudden appearance of Disciple, a man he hadn't seen for so many years. But then Cartwright's day gets worse as Disciple reveals himself to be a friend of Salem's, the man who gets launched towards him!
Salem grabs hold of Cartwright and rushes towards the ropes, both men falling between the top and middle ropes to the outside with a thud!

As the two heated rivals crashed to the outside, The Dreadnaught felt every volt of the four guards fifty thousand volt tazers. The boulder of a man dropped to a knee, his fist clenching, but not even a muffled groan of pain escaped the black mask of the monster. His shoulder raised as he knelt on the canvas than quickly dropped back down, almost like a sign of frustration before Disciple stood back up.
The four guards taking a step back, in their mind it felt like Disciple was casting a shadow over the entire ring as his massive presence seemed to overtake a couple of the guards. two dropped their tazers and fled the ring. Once seemed to be frozen with fear, while the last one mustered up the courage to try something, anything. He charged in going for whatever he could, kicking and punching. One kicked landed, and caused Disciple to flinch a but he quickly brought a hand up grasping the guards neck. The guard began to throw heymakers but could not reach Disciple's head so was simply clubbing at Disciple's elephant trunk like arm.
With his silent and menacing stare, Disciple's head tilted like a curious animal. Then in mere moments, lifted the poor man into the sky, and slamming him down with a soul shattering chokeslam. Once again, Disciple stared down at the body he just leveled taking in the moment, relishing in the carnage and pain he was capable of dishing out. However he knew his work here was done. three guards remain untouched by his destructive hands, and Cartwright was still breathing.
looking up from the downed guard, Disciple turned his attention the guard who as seemed to be frozen with fear. Soon he too will be another body in his wake.

Salem tackled Cartwright and rolled out of the ring, granted some space from security thanks to the giant who'd taken up their attention, laying waste to the laymen in the squared circle for him! But as much as Salem would've liked helping his old friend fight off his foes, this was about the Brit beneath him, so Salem struggled to get atop the lad and start throwing heavy fists down into the chap's forehead from an MMA style mounted position!
