WORLD, U.S., KING OF THE RING

World Champion

EDGE/FF: Uncle Slow Moe (RTL)
Glenn Della Pesca of Nevada; 501; $250,000 + 75 free matches or a real wrestling belt & 25 free matches, 10 free matches for RTL managers next cycle

The lights flicker in a dark alley behind Las Vegas's newest Bojangles location. Hulking, intimidating, shadowy figures can be seen -- silent, unmoving. The aura of legends can be felt through the screen. But from the opposite way, out steps GDP, munching on a chicken tendy, with IWA World Champion Uncle Slow Moe, like they have nowhere else to be.

"Well, well, well... what do we have here? (He holds up the IWA World title belt.) They thought they had left EDGE for dead... but where there's a spark, a fire can start at any time, and I'm here to stoke the flames. (He wipes Bo sauce from his beard and continues.) It's amazing what one World title can do to get things blazing, and now I'm standing right here -- behind a Bojangles, in the shadows of Las Vegas, with legends of this game, ready to rise again, because while everyone is celebrating, EDGE is reloading... (He steps forward, the shadows behind him shifting, closing in like wolves.) We are about to remind every single one of you what happens when you try to erase Godlike Excellence."
