****BEGIN TRANSMISSION HACK****

A darkened room.... a man who's face is mostly concealed by shadow. A distorted voice, seeming to call out from beyond the edge of reality, calling to a man who calls himself a champion. A distorted voice that can be recognized as that of the man they call The Shadow Mage.


"Rick Cage.... at Retribution, you will bear witness to the end of a very important part of your career. For these past few weeks, you've been important... you've meant something... you've been X-Division Champion. But that time has come to an end. In a few short days, you will be nothing more than a lifeless, meaningless sack of organs waiting to be put out of his own misery... that is, assuming I spare you that fate at Retribution. You see, you've dug yourself a hole you can't escape..."

The scene changes as we see a graveyard, the camera slowly moving over a series of headstones...

"A hole that shall be your final resting place.... indeed, Rick Cage, what you are doing is digging... your own grave."

The scene moves over another stone, which stands over an open hole. The stone reads 'Rick Cage: EX-Division Champion". The scene slowly fades again, this time to the same man, a bit more of his face showing as he stands over a roaring fire... but still not nearly enough to identify him.

"This... is your weapon of choice. This is how you think you will beat me? ....What you fail to understand, Mr. Cage, is what you're actually dealing with here. I am no ordinary man. For all you know, I may not even BE just one man... for all you know, each time you see me, it could be another individual who seeks justice in the X-Division... you could be facing a veritable ARMY... but I assure you, that is not the case. My point is merely that you don't know what you've gotten yourself into... for you see, I am an embodiment of everything that scares you, everything that haunts your dreams every night. When you close your eyes, and drift off to sleep, I am a collection of all the thoughts that make you shiver in fear. I am the very reason WHY you wake up in a pool of your own sweat every morning. I am the reason you scream out, and beg for mercy from unseen forces that you KNOW will give none.

This is why I did what I did... it is why I came after your title... the one thing that holds you to sanity, and keeps you on this side of a mental break down. It makes you feel like, somehow, this company needs you.... like your job is secure, because we all know in MOST wrestling companies, a man of your limited talents is far from a valued comodity... this was your way of assuring a spot on the roster, and I have threatened that. I have put the fear in you that it can be taken away as easily as it was made yours... and it will."

Slowly the scene pulls back and we see he is standing infront of a small, beaten up, dented oil drum, which has flames reaching just out of the top. He stares into the fire, as if to prove that he's not afraid.

"...and yet THIS is how you think you will scare ME. You think by adding a few flames to the cage, that you're going to strike into my heart, the fear that I have already pumped directly into yours.... hahaha, how foolish you are. Here I am, staring straight into the beast itself... meeting it's challenge head on, ready to face whatever it may throw at me.... and yet do YOU dare stand toe to toe with ME, Cage? ....You see, you do not even COMPREHEND the concept of fear.... fear stems from taking that which is necessary to a man... and putting it in jeapordy... true fear lies in threating what they cannot live without. A few small burns and singes, assuming you manage to achieve even that.... will heal. But for me to take your title away from you would cost you your very identity... you would no longer be RICK CAGE, X-DIVISION CHAMPION... you'd be just another pathetic young man, with a dream of becoming a wrestler.... who assumed a idiosyncratically fake family name in an attempt to intimidate people.... had his bluff called, and ended up in the unemployment line. You'd be just another washed-up former somebody. You would join the likes of Gangrel... Test... A-Train.... and all the others. Those who used to be something.... nothing special, but something none the less, until they were robbed even of their MEDIOCRE consequence. That which WAS a solid early-card squash for the companies main eventers, no longer even fit to be put on television. This is your fate, Rick Cage... you know it... and thats why you fear me, SOOOO much more than I fear this fire. It can scar only my flesh.... but I... can scar your very SOUL.

It's alright to be afraid of the dark, Rick Cage.... because in this case.... what you do not know.... CAN hurt you!!!"

With that, and a sinister laugh.... the Shadow Mage steps back into the shadows.

|| Double Header||
||x-tag - xdivision championship|

the scene opens up to rick cage outside in a weird location where a huge flame is shooting up off the ground has red and strobe lights are seen rick cage then begins to talk

Rick cage:you know man this scene behind me here is a house burning with people trapped inside just like shadow mage and myself will be in the first ever inferno caged match but i am also in another match up for the x-tag team titles against the extreme connection edge and christian and of course dylan north and cameron hayden now my first thing is appointed to dylan north

what makes you think you can stay with the big dog huh u see dylan the reason i accepted the double header is to proove to everyone in the ewe that i am the best damn x-division champion ever not backing down from any challenges but yet you question my intgereity

** all of sudden paul heyman comes next to rick cage and begins to speak**

Paul Heyman:you see people this why you never underesitmate your opponent on june 3rd at the ecw arena in new york city rick cage is going to take it to the extreme level of which you haven't seen before all those other matches you seen wheren't nothing at all june 3rd will be shadow's mage finall resting place for rick cage will put him on the shelf and baned him from all of wrestling today so for shadow mage i'll be saying bye bye

and as for the x-tag title match goes rick cage and duke will come out to the top like they have been doing in the past couple of weeks....

the scene then fades

[shadowmage]

****BEGIN TRANSMISSION HACK****

The screen is filled with an orange glow... nothing can be made out but a sort of red/orange rippling effect across the picture. From out of sight, as if beyond this phenomenon, we hear the computer-disrtorted voice of the Shadow Mage calling out once more.

"So.... here we are again.... once more, back where it started.... in the flames."

The view pulls back to reveal that the orange rippling was a close up of flames. The same flames we saw in his last promo, coming out the top of an old oil drum., with the Mage once again standing over it, his black hood once more concealing most of his face in shadows.

"Rick Cage, I'm afraid you misunderstood me once before. Perhaps you were not listening.... a mistake, I suggest you do not repeat. Listen to me VERY carefully, because my words hold your fate.

You say that I was insinuating that you fear the steel... and the fire.... and that is simply not the case. You see Mr. Cage, they were YOUR introduction into this match, not mine. They were YOUR tools, by which you hoped to intimidate ME... not the other way around. For you see, I see the fire for what it really is... a judgement. And just like any other, it makes a seperation of those whom it touches.... a seperate of the weak, from the strong... the reserved from though raught with conviction. When we step into that cage, the flames will judge me... and it's a test I will pass. Why? Because they ALONE will be the test of my devotion to the cause. They stand as my only threat.... and they, unlike me, can be confined. They can be stopped. Fire can be avoided.... extinguished... suffocated. But me? Cage, I am nothing so easy to contain. You see, I am not a man to mix words. I choose what I say VERY carefully, and when I chose the name, The Shadow Mage, it was chosen JUST AS carefully... because you see, darkness ITSELF... the shadows, the unknown, the most common fear, aside from death, in human history is MINE to control. For the past few weeks I have kept you on your toes, kept you gripped firmly in the palm of my hand, wrapped closely by fear the way an infant would be wrapped in a mother's arms. This paranoia of yours was my own doing. I have begun to assault you not only from without, but from within. I have worn you down both in body, AND in spirit... you have become just as fragile in mind as you are in body, and yet you think I need some pathetic FIRE to scare you? I've told you once, Cage, and I will tell you again... you DO have fear in you. I can see it. I can feel it. I can USE it."

He looks down into the flames and starts to laugh quietly, a sort of sinister, evil laugh.

"You see Cage... what can't be solved with blind physical force, CAN be solved through fear. For example... your reign as X-Division champion... nobody thought it would last. Everywhere I turned, the signs said that you were living on borrowed time... and yet, you retained. It seems, Cage, as if you're like a cat... blessed with nine lives, and always, somehow, able to land on your feet."

With that, The Mage bends down behind the drum and picks up a small black cat. It must be a stray or something.

"And so, here we see the LITTERAL form of your title reign, and to make this a PERFECT comparrison... we have our "Inferno Cage" here."

He motions toward the oil drum. He holds the cat out over the drum as it begins to flail all its legs madly, trying to scratch him up, but can't do anything through his thick dark robes.

"As we see... the cat, like you Mr. Cage, is completely distraut. Now gripped by intense fear. It doesn't know what is going to happen to it... all it knows is that the current situation threatens it's safety... the same way OURS threatens YOURS. Just like you Mr. Cage, our feline friends knows that he is about to lose all control over his own fate... that it is in MY HANDS now. And just like you and I in the inferno cage.... whether he lands on his feet or not..."

And with that, he picks up his arm and HURLS the cat into the flames. The sounds of shrill meowing and hissing in pain echo through the night as the Mage laughs again.

"...his fear.... always.... wins. It's okay to be afraid, Cage... at this point, anyone would."

The sounds of the cat die out, as it inevitably dies, consumed by flame.
