Tig Collins: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time... John... Blade!!!

The children in the building are watching the titantron scream and cheer as loudly as their little lungs

can handle. The rest of the fans in attendance seem less than enthused, and they let the Champ

know about it by cheering him as he enters the picture.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: Tig Collins, it is good to see you, my girl! How have you been?

John touches Tig on the back with a little more force than was probably necessary. Collins tries to move the microphone back to herself to say something, but The Chain Gang tilts it back over to him.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: And there is no better place for us to reunite than right here in... Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Naturally, the sheepish fans clap and cheer for the name of their city as they always do.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: You know what I'm saying, Tig?

Blade laughs and finally allows Tig to get a word in.

Tig Collins: I actually don't, I'm afraid. I don't speak Mandarin. But I do want to officially

welcome you back to the XWF twenty-five and, of course, back to Monday night Warfare. It hasn't been

the same without you!

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: You can say that again.

The Chain Gang waits patiently for Tig, who looks around, confused by the situation she currently finds herself in.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: You can say that again.

John stares down at Tig until the light finally turns on.

Tig Collins: The XWF hasn't been the same without you?

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: No It certainly has not. We can't be ungrateful, though, right? As bad as this

The company has been over the past several months. I would be remiss if I didn't at least acknowledge that damn man... these kids are trying their best. Sure,e most of the locker room is filled with forgettable pint-sized men with as much charisma as my pinky toe. Definitely, the so-called

'' Hall of Famers'' still picking up that pension check are good for a laugh every now and again. Look, I'm not being disrespected here, Tig.

Tig Collins: It sounds a little disrespectful.

Surgeon of thug| John Blade: Then please allow me to change my tone. Guys like Barney Green and Razor... I just think they should take a cue from Will, as you saw earlier, he tried his best to

keep up with the Sidney Crosby of the Hockey industry, The Greatest of all time, and he failed

miserably. Then he

packed up his bags, realized that his time in the game had passed, and he limped back to Canada.

That's all I'm saying. A guy like Barney Green has had one hell of a career. I mean, one of the best

ever. But this time is over, Tig. My Time. well you know the rest.

Tig Collins: Ok. This isn't really even what I was going to ask you about this week.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: Alright, fair enough. Shoot.

Tig Collins: This Monday, you'll enter the March Madness with Barney Green, Razor Big Bong Twinz, and Mister Oz. There is no shortage of history between every man and woman for themselves, you

either. countless matches. You all have run the gamut of friendship and Extreme hatred. Are you

excited to get back in the ring with all men and women for the first time, and now with so much at stake, trying to tip the scales of war in Peter's Principle's favor?

Blade sighs loudly and shakes his head for a moment.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: Yeah, sure. Peter Principle and All That. Look, I'm the one who's gonna win this March Madness, so it lies on my massively broad shoulders to carry the load for a ragtag bunch of XWF1999. I mean,

there are some outliers in this March Madness. Some diamonds in the rough. I love what The XWF is

doing. Barney Green is a bona fide star. Razor ...

The Crowd chants '' Razor.''

Surgeon of Thug|John Blade: Is the next XWF World Champion. Razor and Barney Green are great. They got the

other one as well. But yeah, the majority of this collaboration is quite frankly dead weight, and it's

a tough load that I have to carry, but thankfully I always have...

Surgeon of Thug|John Blade: Hefty Strong Clean Burst. Strength that's anything but ordinary.

Tig Collins: What is going on?

Surgeon of Thug|John Blade: So yes. I have no doubt that I will take care of business this week like I always do, and I'll lead this triple threat to victory.

Tig Collins: You didn't even mention the XWF Warfare side of the triple threat. Guys like

Barney Green and Razor?

Surgeon of Thug|John Blade: I literally have no idea who those people are.

John smiles into the camera.

Tig Collins: Alright. So, what's the Ultimate goal of John Blade? What is going to be your legacy? What have you accomplished before you hang up the Air Jordans?

Blade looks down at an invisible watch on his wrist band and then off camera.

Surgeon of Thug|John Blade: CUT!

With that, Blade moves out of frame, and Tig looks around, extremely confused by the entire

Situation. Only a few silent moments later, and ' John Blade' returns and nods at Tig.

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade ''Yo, what's good, Tig?

Tig Collins: Barney?

Surgeon of Thug| John Blade: No matter if anybody here likes it or not. The Chain Gang, The Surgeon of Thug, The Champ, The Leader of Bladenation, and The Greatest of Ever Do It is...

Back! We are ready. We stay ready, we always be about that motto of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. Never Give. Up Surrender. Go pick up your copies of The Marines, now re-released on Blue-ray 4K. Also, don't miss Freelance premiering and streaming exclusively

on Netflix. Any more questions, Tig?

Tig Collins: Just one. What is happening right now?

' John Blade' looks off camera and nods a few times before turning back to the interviewer.

Surgeon of Thug|John Blade: What's going on right now is we're about to head out there in front of this sold-out

crowd in Alberta, Canada, and put on a show the likes of which they have never seen before. Because

The Champ...

Some of the fans finish the catch phrase, but most are just confused.

Surgeon of Thug|' John Blade': Is headed your way.

With 'John Blade' waving his hand in front of his face and rushing off the scene, leaving Tig to

stand there dumbfounded with the microphone still in hand.
