[[[- New Ownership.... a new face behind the nEw corporate desk. Last week on Showtime, the entire New Era Wrestling officials as well as the wrestlers laid eyes on their new boss, as one half of the nEw owners revealed that the newest Commissioner to New Era Wrestling, was none other then former Owner of the now defunct Solid Gold Wrestling, Arn Anderson. Anderson took charge from the start by removing Ted Dibiase from the building, and throwing Paul Heyman out as well. Now we go into the first official week of Arn Anderson's reign as leader of New Era Wrestling. what will he have in store for the company, as well as the wrestlers? Ladies and Gentlemen, nEw SHOWTIME IS NEXT!!! -]]]

YOUR SUSPENDED!!!' then we hear the big announcement  'THE NEW COMMISSIONER OF NEW ERA WRESTLING...... ARN ANDERSON!!'...Heyman is stunned... 'NOOO, YOU CAN'T DO THIS!'... Anderson makes his entrance and... 'MY FIRST ACT AS COMMISHIONER IS TO GET TED DIBIASE AND PAUL HEYMAN, THE HELL OUT OF THE BUILDING!!'... Heyman is shown being removed from the building as we then see a clip from where Arn was back in his office telling Val Venis the big news... 'VENIS, AT RESURRECTION... YOU GOT A UNITED STATES TITLE MATCH, WITH STONE COLD!!'... Venis is shown being livid as we fade into the main event where Austin took on Rob Van Dam. Venis runs to the ring and interrupts everything causing Van Dam to score the victory as Venis ended last week telling Austin how it is going to be.... 'AT RESURRECTION...... I WILL END YOU...

The limo stops, as the driver gets out, and walks to the back of the limo. He opens the back door as out of the limo steps Arn Anderson!! The Commissioner of New Era Wrestling has arrived!! He stands tall, proud of his company, as he shuts the door and begins walking into the building as he is stopped by a nEw official -]]]

nEw Official Fit Finley: ARN..... ARN!!!

Arn Anderson: Hey what's going on?

nEw Official Fit Finley: Arn... I just wanted to be the first to welcome you here tonight as the Commissioner, I have been watching you for so long, and I think your going to be just what nEw needs!

Arn Anderson: Well thank you fit... Glad to be on board, now if you'll excuse me, I got a show to run!

nEw Official Fit Finley: Oh, haha, right Arn... good luck to you tonight!

Arn Anderson: Thanks.

Arn gets up, and tries to fight back but the two men are just too much for him to handle. One of the hooded men takes him and throws him head first into a near by dumpster. Arn begins to bleed from the forehead, as the second hooded man picks him up and lifts Arn above his head as he tosses him right into the dumpster and shuts the lid, as one of the men begins to speak.... -]]]
