[[[- Friendship lasts forever is what most say? But last week, we witnessed a match that will forever go down in nEw history as possibly the most exciting, finger nail biting matches, of all time. Two of nEw's finest, most exquisite wrestlers faced off in the quarter finals of the nEw world title tournament. Both men walked in with extreme respect for one another, while Val Venis walked to the ring, with bitterness in his mouth! Both men determined, both men refusing to lose, and after one of the greatest matches of all time, Val Venis finally got the pin after a hard fought battle, but not without help from a few of Paul Heymans punks... the Dangerous Alliance. this week, the tag champs are back together with revenge in their mind. Can they defeat the scheme that Paul Heyman has at stake, or will it be another good night for the Dangerous Alliance? One thing for sure, all hell is going to break lose!! NEW SHOWTIME IS NEXT!! -]]]

[[[- We see clips from last weeks Showtime to the sounds of Linkin Park's Smash Hit 'In the End' as we see many great clips of Val Venis walking out at the top of the show, and mouthing off to Rob Van Dam, as they fight tooth and nail, as Heyman smiles, then we see clips of the match. Both men showing off their beautiful talents they have, and then showing The Impact Players in the ring beating down a defenseless Rob Van Dam and Val Venis as we end hearing the sounds of Sean Mooney Screaming 'PAUL HEYMAN HAS NO SOUL!!' As we fade into the Showtime intro featuring all the top superstars in today's wrestling, as from there we fade into tonight's arena in Mobile, Alabama. -]]]

[[[- Suddenly we cut into the arena seeing all the thousands of fans standing on their feet, holding up their signs, going absolutely bonkers as we then hear the sounds of our announcers as suddenly 'THIS IS DANGEROUS!!' hits as the punk rock music follows as out from the back steps Brock Lesnar and then through the back, with a smile on his face as the Impact Players walk out behind him and then Evan Karageous and Madusa. Both men walk down the ramp together as they all get in the ring, pose together as the music slowly dies down and Heyman Takes the microphone ... -]]]

Paul Heyman: So this is Mobile, Alabama? Alabama... the land full of hillbillies and rednecks! The only place that's worse then this piece of crap town is Hell!! But thats beside the point as to why I have come out here tonight! Last week we witnessed the beginning of the end of the tag team champions. Last week we saw the fall of the great Rob Van Dam and Val Venis. Last week we saw Val Venis and Rob Van Dam chopped down to size and beaten to a bloody pulp! Justin Credible, Lance Storm, two of the most hardcore, death defying superstars to grace the ring, and they beat you both within an inch of your pathetic lives. So rob Van Dam, Val Venis, while you both were at it tooth and nail last week, you both better not worry about one another, you both better worry about US!! The Dangerous Alliance want to destroy you after you have literally beat each other up! You see boys, this is simply a little game of divide and conquer. I'll divide you both to be at each others throat, and then I'll conquer those tag team belts which you possess and soon.... the World Heavyweight championship! So Trust me boys I....

[[[- Suddenly out of no where the Show-Tron lights up as we see both Val Venis and Rob Van Dam, both wearing their tag team belts over their shoulders as they are smiling. We then listen in...!! -]]]

Rob Van Dam: Paul.... Paul.... Paul.... dude calm down. I mean yeah, Val and I had our differences last week, and sure, we may not have had a very happy ending to the night, but Heyman, mark my words man, tonight.... it's going to be one hell of a different night, tonight, Val and I are going into that match with Storm and Credible the champions, and we're walking out the champions, because when you got RVD and V-A-L as the tag team champion connection..... then its all cool!!

Paul Heyman: All cool huh? I tell you what.... we'll see how cool it is tonight, when.... when.....

Val Venis: When what Heyman? When you get some testicles? Well we both know that isn't happening anytime soon....

Paul Heyman: SHUT UP VENIS!! OK, YOU WANT TO PLAY GAMES.... FINE! TONIGHT.... IN YOUR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH WITH THE PLAYERS.... THEIRS GOING TO BE A SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE.... AND THAT MAN...... THAT MAN...... THAT MAN IS GOING TO BE..... MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[[[- Oh my God!!! Paul Heyman as the special guest referee?! Val and Van Dam's mouths drop as Heyman is shown in the ring taking off his blazer and his black collar shirt and it reveals a Referee T-Shirt as he begins to laugh as the Players point to the shirt as Heyman and as the two show the booing fans as they leave the ring and head to the back together laughing their heads off.  -]]]
