[[[- New Era Wrestling coming off one hell of a week. Last week we witnessed the nEw get treated with a dose of greed as Val Venis and Rob Van Dam realized that the two were no longer partners, but now... enemies. After the big conclusion where Van Dam was helped to victory by Venis, Paul heyman allowed reality to sink in for the two men, as Showtime ended with a bang as the two men fought each other toe to toe, in a confrontation that will go down as possibly the best match ever. nEw SHOWTIME IS NEXT!!! -]]]

[[[- We see clips from last weeks Showtime to the sounds of Eminem's new hit song 'Solider' as we see Venis shove Van Dam down and start beating him to a pulp, as suddenly one word flashes across the screen saying "New Era". As we fade into the intro as we see the huge crowd on hand here in the Alamo Dome in San Antonia, Texas as the pyros go off and the fans are shown going wild. -]]]

[[[- Suddenly 'HELLLLLLLLLLO LADIES!!!' hits the PA system as suddenly through the back to a shocking mixed reaction storms Val Venis. He walks down the ramp way, and ignores all the fans. He steps into the ring where he throws up his Tag team belt to show off to all the fans as they start a small boo chant. As he grabs the microphone and begins to speak... -]]]

Val Venis: Cut the music! Now, last week, I came out here to help Rob Van Dam advance one step closer to the world title, and now after he has ran through all those jokes of opponents, now he's got to face ME! Van Dam... maybe Paul was right, maybe Heyman made some sense when he told everyone you were just a guy who looks out for himself! Van Dam after a month of being tag team champions, all I got to say is.... Tonight, I step out of your shadow, and show the world, that I AM THE ONLY FLAME BURNING HERE IN NEW!! 

[[[- Out of no where Breaking point hits as out from the back walks Rob Van dam as the fans go nuts, he walks out with his tag belt around his waist as he has a microphone in his hand as he begins to speak.... -]]]

Rob Van Dam: Venis.... I got nothing but respect for you, but the fact is.... you're over the line right now! Venis... you know me just as well as anyone else, and tonight, it's simply business. I never meant for any of this to happen. But if a war is what you want, then a war is what you're going to get! So Venis I.......

Val Venis: HOLD IT! Rob.... just once, will you please HUT YOUR F[censored]CKING MOUTH?!! I mean, all you do is talk like you're the man in this company, you haven't beaten me tonight, and Rob, trust me, tonight.... I WILL END YOU!!

[[[- Suddenly out of no where through the crowd jumps The Impact Players. Credible and Storm start beating the hell out of Venis with their kendo sticks, as Van Dam is left at the top of the rampway wondering what to do. Should he help Val out? He just smiles and turns around and leaves leaving his tag team partner left in the ring getting beaten down to a bloody pulp. The fans boo the Impact Players as they rip off Venis's T-Shirt and throw it into the crowd, then they rip his belt off and Storm throws it over his shoulder and poses with it. Damn those, damn Impact Players!! .... -]]]
