~"Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine plays over the PA. TheDominator strides with a purpose down the entrance ramp and heads toward the ring, followed by four wraiths. The wraiths position themselves one on each side of the ring as Dom steps between the ropes holding a microphone. He is obviously angry.
~
David Hood: "Our new GM appears to have some words to say on his first day.
~
Matt Scott: "Shhh! I don't want to miss a moment!"
~
David Hood: "You're amazing..."
~
~The crowd starts chanting "You suck!" as Dominator lifts the microphone to speak. He becomes enraged!
~
Dominator: "Shut up, you worthless parasites! (the crowd boos louder) I'm here to go over what I have in store for XFW now that I am in control. But first, a word to the Righteous Anger (The crowd cheers at the mention of the Anger) Shut up! Anger, you do not belong here. This is my show, and if I or any of my crew see you, they have orders to escort you out of the stadium! And if you resist (Dom smiles wickedly) They are to bring you to me... so I may deal with you... personally."
~
David Hood: "Strong words from the new GM. Can he back them up though?"
~
Matt Scott: "Are you doubting our new GM? I'm sure he'd love hear that!"
~
David Hood: "Whatever, kiss-up."
~
Dom: "Now with that out of the way, I'd like to let all of you meaningless underlings know what I plan to do with XFW. First of all..."
~
~Suddenly, the fhksjai89922o...
~
~
~
Voice: "Are we in?"
~
Second voice: "We've tapped into the internet feed."
~
First voice: "Excellent! We got the camera working yet?"
~
Third voice: "I'm not sure how to get it into the feed."
~
First voice: "*sigh* You're over thinking it again. Don't forget that we're in control of this reality. Just make it happen."
~
~A camera blinks to life, showing a fuzzy scene that looks like a library with a wooden table and a red velvet chair. A figure is seated on the chair.
~
Third voice: "Okay, got it working. I just need to focus it..."
~
~The picture comes into focus, and we see that it is Jack Power, in a full business suit, with a large, leatherbound book in his lap.
~
Jack Power: "Excellent, Worthy. I knew you could do it."
~
Fourth voice: "Are you sure this is a good idea?"
~
Jack Power: "Jon, does it really matter if he does anything to us?"
~
Jon Lum: "No, I suppose not."
~
Jack: "That's the spirit! Sound system set, Morbid?"
~
Morbid Distruction: "We're good to go!"
~
Jon Lum: "Okay, we're go in five, four, three..."
~
~A caption in the corner of the camera view reading "Live". We hear the crowd from the arena go from murmurs to cheers from off-camera.
~
Jack (To camera): "Good evening, and welcome to Mayhem Theater. I am your host, Jack Power."
~
~The camera changes angle to the side of the chair. Jack's gaze follows it
~
Jack: "TheDominator. Former champion, speed-class wrestler, current holder of the Black Rage, recently ascended GM of X-Force Wrestling. But what do we really know about him? What makes this angry man who hangs out with a group of androgynous hangers-on tick? We sought to explore the background of our new GM. And so, we present to you, part one of a multi-part series about the history, life, and times of TheDominator. (Jack opens the book slowly) Enjoy."
~
~The camera fades to black, then fades into a country road scene, slowly panning left. An overlay over the screen reads "Once You Go Black: The Unauthorized Biography of TheDominator - (c) 2009 MayhemTV". The overlay fades out after a few seconds.
~
Jack (voice-over): "Despite popular belief, TheDominator was not born yesterday. He was actually born the day before yesterday in the back of a turnip cart."
~
~The camera comes to a rest on an overturned turnip cart.
~
Jack (vo): "Here we see Dominator's childhood home. His mother was a bottle rocket, and his father was an anvil."
~
~The camera cuts back to Jack in the library
~
Jack: "From his mother, he inherited incredible speed and an explosive gas problem. From his father, he inherited the unexplainable desire to be struck repeatedly, usually with heavy, blunt objects."
~
~Cut to a montage of Dominator getting hit with various in-ring weapons (chairs, barbed-wire bats, monitors, fire extinguishers, etc.) during various matches with various opponents. Cut to the country scene. This time, Jack is there with a microphone walking along the dirt path
~
Jack: "In this simple setting, his parents kept him from the gaze of society and fed him a steady diet of irony and regrets, and as a result, he grew up much as you see him today: self-loathing, hateful, and covered in sh[bleep]"
~
~The scene cuts to a darkened room, just inside an open doorway. The caption "Re-enactment" appears in the lower-left hand corner.
~
Jack (vo): "Dominator lived such a sheltered life, that he didn't see a naked woman until he turned 23."
~
~The re-enactment scene shows Jack Power dressed just like Dominator sneaking up to the doorway, stopping just inside. He suddenly adopts a facial expression of exaggerated shock and excitement.
~
Jack (vo): "Not long after, he was arrested for trespassing"
~
~From behind the Jack-as-Dominator, Jon Lum, Morbid Distruction, and Worthy dressed as policemen grab him and start beating him with nightsticks, dragging him off camera.
~
~The scene cuts back to the library, Jack seated on the chair, slowly closing the large book in his lap.
~
Jack: "His time in prison would change Dominator in ways nobody could have imagined. We will pursue this segment of Dominator's life in part two of "Once You Go Black" Until then, I am Jack Power and on behalf of my crew, I wish you mayhem."
~
~Meaningless credits scroll at warp speed up the screen, then....
~
~
~
~...crowd is cheering loudly at the show they just witnessed. Dominator is in the ring completely steamed.
~
David Hood (Laughing): "Th... that... was the greatest thing I've ever seen!"
~
Matt Scott: "Laugh while you can, David, those Masters of Mayhem are going to pay for crossing the new boss! He's not lenient like Sentinel was!"
~
~David Hood laughs even louder!
~
Matt Scott: "What's so funny!?"
~
David Hood (barely able to speak through laughter): "Sentinel? Lenient? Oh, I can't stand it!"
~
~Dominator paces around the ring, staring at the Tron angrily. Finally, he picks up the mic and says...
(( Dom, if you can, add something to the end, making some big, bad matches for the MoM. Otherwise, Sentinel, can you take care of it? ))
