Dave Dudley: The match is signed, then. The Gladiator, Centurius Maximus, versus The Hardcore Icon, me.
Dudley pauses...
Dave Dudley: Sigh. It doesn't get any easier, does it?
Camera shows a figure, the back is turned, we see no head or legs. Only torso. Can't tell if it's a man or woman.
Figure: You knew that. It never has.
Dave Dudley: That's why I keep going. That's what makes me struggle on. It's a losing battle, but I will win. Someday. In the end, it will be written that I come out on top.
Figure: You always do come out on top...
Dave Dudley: Of course I do. So, tell me...
Dudley grins, devilishly
Dave Dudley: How does it feel to be the new ICW General Manager?
Figure: Pretty good. It's good to be back around here. I mean, it will always feel like family. Even if it is different...
Dave Dudley: Always in a state of constant flux, are we. That's what makes ICW ICW. It's unpredictible. Can you handle that?
Figure: I can handle it just fine. I think. Better than handling wrestling. Not since the injury.
Dave Dudley: Well, you were hired by me personally to uphold my ICW standards and values. You're going to drop all your former rivalries and issues you've ever had with the ICW roster. You're going to be totally unbiased, and respectful. Just like I was as active CEO. Right?
Figure: Right. You're the boss. But I will be your steady hand. Even when it comes to you.
Dave Dudley: Good. It's hard to be the boss and want to be a wrestler again. I've still got much to prove here. I've still got scores to settle, I've still got a big future.
Figure: You're greedy for respect. Not money.
Dave Dudley: Money? ICW? Hah. I paid all my money signing guys like Reno Starr, Hoyakillah(RIP) and Myst. And look where they all are now.
Figure: Well, Reno is in porn...gay porn. Hoyakillah is dead, courtesy of you, and Myst...
Dave Dudley: Yeah, exactly. Where is Myst? He's vanished off the face of the Earth.
Figure: Well, at least Earth is now lighter, as a result.
Dave Dudley: No kidding. Well, like I said, it's good to see you again, after a long time. And I hope we're going to be cool now.
Figure: I told you a while back. We're cool. It's water under the bridge. And let ME be the first to say...I'm sorry.
Dave Dudley: Apology accepted. I'm sure you've got a lot to get ready, I won't hold you up.
This person, the new ICW General Manager, leaves the office where Dudley sits behind his desk, in his big leather chair...
Dave Dudley: Triple Terror Tournament, TTT. Lots of talent. I'm actually nervous about this.
Let's see who else is confirmed...
Morrigan? Hmmm, that reminds me of...
