The Icon Arrives {SNC RP #1}

The crowd stirs as the lights dim in the arena.

West Newhaven: What the hell is this?

Matt Baily: Not sure... looks to be a preview of some sort.

The titantron crackles to life as smoke begins to fill the stage area.



A flurry of pyros hits the stage as 'World of Fire' begins to play and the crowd begins to cheer.

Matt Baily: Is he really here?

West Newhaven: Who?

Kruzer emerges through the smoke with a burst of energy and the crowd rises to their feet to a huge ovation. The Canadian Icon stands at the top taking in the ovation for a moment then flashes hi patented bullhorns then he makes his way to the ring.

Matt Baily: HE IS!!!! THE RUMORS ARE TRUE!!! THE RUMORS ARE TRUE!!! THE CANADIAN ICON HAS JUST JOINED THE REVOLUTION! Listen to this crowd Newhaven... they love this guy!



West Newhaven: Who the hell is he?

Matt Baily: You're kidding right? A Thirteen time World Heavyweight Champion steps into the Combat Zone and West Newhaven has no idea who he is?

West Newhaven: Thirteen time champion where? The California Penal league?

Matt Baily: Hollywood actor? MMA fighter? C'mon man... Matt Kruze? Kruzer? The Canadian Icon? The ol'Kruzermatic?

West Newhaven: Nope. Not ringing any bells.

Matt Baily: Man... you're hopeless.

Kruzer slides into the ring and steps up to the second turnbuckle and flashes the bullhorns again continuing to work up the crowd. He then signals for a mic as the music fades. He removes his shades as the crowd begins to chants his name. He smiles then begins to speak.



Kruzer: What? ...Where you expecting the Easter Bunny?! hahaha...

The crowd continues to cheer.

Kruzer: Now before I get started here, for those of you that don't know... and judging by the response here, most of you do... My name is Matt Kruze. Most of you know me in this ring as Kruzer: The Canadian Icon... The rest of you might simply know me from such Youtube films as 'Exile' and 'Deep Inside You' or eagerly awaiting the release of my upcoming feature film 'The Clean Up'. Now, you maybe asking yourself 'Why the hell would Kruze comeback to wrestling when his acting career is starting to solidify itself?' The answer is simple; Unfinished business. You see Kruzermatics, while I was wrestling, the Canadian Icon wanted nothing more than to be the best that this industry had ever seen... and I was. A Thirteen time World Champion, multiple time Intercontinental Champion, Tag team Champion, Canadian Champion, Hardcore Champion... Hell, the ol'Kruzermatic was the Underwater Basket-weaving Champion for *censored* sakes... hahaha... Kruzer was even founding member of one of the most dominant factions in the history of wrestling; The Psych Ward. And it's that fire... that burning desire that still drives me in all that I do, from movies to mixed martial arts... music... everything. But when it comes right down to it, and as much as Kruzer loves all his jobs, there's no greater thrill... there's no greater rush on this planet than stepping through that archway, feeling that energy from you good folks, thenn coming down to this ring and beating the holy hell out of some Jive Turkey that THINKS he's good enough to stand tête-à-tête with an Icon! Kruzer lives for that moment when his opponents look up at him into his eyes and they realize that they don't have a Prayer! Cuz when the ol'Kruzermatic's going full throttle... pedal to the metal... You'd best be standing off to the side of my highway or else I will run you down and not look back... leaving you as a blood stain in my rear view, Savvy?!

The crowd cheers, even saying some of Kruzer'z catch phrases along with him as he continues.



Kruzer: So now that we've got all that crap out of the way... Let's get down to business, shall we? Cuz the ink had barely dried on Kruzer'z RWD contract, when Robert Garland informed me that he already had a match scheduled the third episode of Sunday Night Combat... Who's Kruzer'z opponent, you ask? Well, none other than last week's "big hero", John Carter. {The crowd cheers.} Oh, you like that guy, eh? Yeah, ok... Kruzer will admit that the fella looked good last week... got the victory and his revenge on that Jersey Jive Turkey Ryan DeFalco. Not that, that's really all that difficult... especially when you have help the second time around eh?! hahaha...



Kruzer: I mean, buddy... You got your ass pinned by that Mike Sorrentino lookin' mother*censored* in Triple Threat match just two weeks prior... Interesting stuff. But what's John Carter going to do when he steps into the ring and comes face to face, going ONE-On-ONE with The ICON?! This ain't no Disney movie John... And the ol'Kruzermatic sure as HELL ain't Pocahontas, Savvy?! What? Are you gonna to stand around in the back again... in your little dark room... pacing... brooding... plotting... Look Jive Turkey, my girl Jezzy practically invented that *censored*, and she does it a helluva lot better than YOU! So don't think for a second that any of that crap is gonna work or intimidate the Canadian Icon, Savvy?! You're gonna have to dig deep for this one if you expect to beat the ol'Kruzermatic, John. There's no way around it. But, you're talented John... Kruzer will give you that. No one can take that away from you... And being a former World Champion yourself, you do have atleast an ounce of my respect... but that's it... an ounce... Cuz with all due respect, John... the ol'Kruzermatic has been to the top of the mountain Thirteen times, Savvy?! Thirteen times Kruzer has beaten the best in this business and I don't plan on stopping... Not Now! ...Not for ANYONE! ... and especially not for some F.U.B.A.R. Champion that no one's ever heard of. You're about to step into the ring with the biggest challenge, the biggest star AND the biggest Icon you've ever faced in your career to date John... And I'll be damned if you'll even get a SNIFF of victory at Combat this time around against the ol'Kruzermatic! Do Not Pass Go... {The crowd saying it with him.} Do Not Collect Two Hundred Dollars! John Carter... You'd best bring your A-game to the table this week, bud... Anything less will make you roadkill, Savvy?! The Canadian Icon is back jack... And there ain't no stop 'til I reach the top... Cuz I'm the ol'Kruzermatic...

The Crowd: "AND YOU'RE NOT!"

Kruzer: ...And You're Not! ...That's Allll.

Kruzer smiles and drops the mic as 'World On Fire' begins to play again. He flashes the Bullhorns again then exits the ring and up the ramp.

Matt Baily: Well there you have it folks... The Canadian is back and has joined the Revolution in a big way with his sights set on John Carter next week on Sunday Night Combat.

West Newhaven: If this Kruzer guy is even half as good in the ring as he is on the mic, John Carter could be in for a world of hurt on Combat.

Matt Baily: You still don't know who he is do you?

West Newhaven: Not a clue, but I like his style. This man exudes confidence and aggression like I haven't seen in RWD so far. I look forward to seeing him again.

Matt Baily: Well atleast that part we can agree on partner. We'll just have to wait and see how John Carter responds to the brash Canadian Icon in the coming days. I have a feeling this battle is going to heat up more before it cools down. This match could be one hot ticket come Sunday Night Combat.



Kruzer stops at the top of the ramp and raises the bullhorns one more time then exits through the archway as the screen fades to commercial.
