*Antonio Romano jerks awake as if from a nightmare, he looks around, unaware of his surroundings but soon realizes that he is intact in a nice hotel. He gets up from the bed and realizes he is wearing a white wife beater and a pair of boxers, after looking around for a moment he discovers that he is at the Dominick Hotel. Antonio takes a breath of relief before sitting back on the bed.*
Antonio: Thank God, still in New York.
*Before he can relax to much Maniacs voice interrupts him.*
Maniac: Of course, it's here in New York the reunion show is going to be.
Antonio: Che cazzo!!!
*As Antonio screams he jumps up from the bed and looks around instinctively but soon realizes who it is. He goes into the bathroom and clicks on the light, looking into the mirror he doesn't see his own reflection but Maniac instead. Antonio walks up to the mirror where a smiling Maniac awaits.*
Antonio: What reunion show? Let me guess, you and your sick friends reminiscing about the horrible shit you done together?
*Maniac laughs for a moment before answering. *
Maniac: Well, you're kinda right. Take a look on the desk.
*Antonio leaves the bathroom for a moment and heads over to the desk seeing the invitation laying there. His eyes widen in shock as he reads it. After a few moments he puts the invitation back down and heads back into the bathroom.*
Antonio: I remember, Angelo was telling me about the HWA returning. But wait, wasn't that recently? What day is this?
*Maniac laughs for a moment before glaring at Antonio while he answers.*
Maniac: it's Thursday, March 23rd, 2023. I have made arrangements to be at the reunion show which is drawing near as you already seen so I must prepare. And as you have already read, they invited me not you and you are not going to stop me this time Antonio.
Antonio: We'll see about that you twisted physcopath.
*Antonio turns around and goes to leave the bathroom only to be met with her right hand from Maniac. Antonio falls to the ground and watches in horror as his own right hand grabs his throat knowing that it's Maniac taking control. Antonio grabs himself with both hands and by his wife beater pulls himself up to a sitting position with his hands suddenly grab his hair and start pulling forcing himself to stand up he's dragged back out of the bathroom and thrown into a wall he has picked up again and thrown into the door this is repeated a few minutes with a few occasional rapid punches to the face. Antonio lays on the ground on his back breathing heavy as he hears Maniacs voice ring loud.*
Maniac: I'm going to that reunion, things are going to be different this time. You're not going to stop me and my plans. I WILL be back on top and there isn't a DAMN thing you or anyone else can do about it.*
*Maniac hits Antonio again one more time, knocking him out *
----------------------------------------------
A few hours later...
On camera
*The scene opens outside Madison Square Garden, maniac is standing by the famous sign with his back turned to the camera staring at the arena. After a few minutes he turns around with a big smile on his face.*
Maniac: Soon enough, in this very arena history will be made as the HWA makes its return to the spotlight. Once again amazing fans all over the world with the unique blend of old and new talent showcasing their skills to bring you top notch matches along with the thrills and chills we all love. And speaking of thrills and chills I just can't wait to see who turns up at the reunion. I mean, I already know Butch and Wisdom will be there being they run the show now. Yeah, I know what's been going on. Just like Antonio, I have my eyes and ears everywhere.
*Maniac laughs.*
Maniac; Anywho, I'm equally excited to meet the newer talent. For they are the future of this company. That's a big responsibility their kiddos, are you up for that? Are you up for the pressure that comes with it? The fan and reporters always in your face along with the cameras? No privacy ever? You're competitors always nipping at your heels to use you as a stepping stone on their path to Greatness. Can you handle the pressure of fighting them off like a hungry pack of wolves looking for the next meal? I've been there and it's difficult but not impossible. While I'm not saying my tank is empty I still definitely have enough fuel to keep going I am offering to all the new Talent my services as a teacher. Under my wing, I will show you the way. How to succeed here in the HWA which is not like other wrestling promotions. No matter what Butch or Wisdom tries to tell you, this is the real deal kids. Bones break, lives are ruined, people go to jail, people die, I've seen it all. Before you step in a ring and take that leap ask yourself, is it worth it? If your answer is yes then seek me out and together we'll change the landscape of this industry. The choice is yours, either way I'll see you all inside.
Maniac Winks at the camera and waves as he turns around and heads towards Madison Square Garden as the scene goes to static.*
