Surgeon's Arrival

[Surgeon General #9]

Music bursts through the PA system as smoke engulfs the entrance way.

Surgeon General #9 makes his way through the curtain followed by his manager, Nurse Betty.

He walks with grace and intent. Most would call it a very self-assured walk.

Nurse Betty flirtingly waves and smiles at ringside fans as they're all shocked and amazed that Surgeon General #9 is even in the building.

He climbs up the steps, pauses, taking in the moment, and proceeds to the apron of the ring. Wiping off the soles of his boots, one after another, as he enters through the ring ropes. Nurse Betty stays at ringside in a mannerly fashion. The good doctor doesn't like it when she doesn't get into the ring. She knows it's not a place for her and she should stay in her place.

With the fans roaring in excitement, Surgeon General takes a microphone and begins what is sure to be a spiel of epic proportions.

SG9:" Once upon a time...(he pauses to let the noise quiet down)....ONCE upon a time, I was the standard in professional wrestling. Once upon a time, I was the man that everyone would turn to for answers. Once upon a time, I would break an opponent's leg if he dared make a challenge or lay claim to something that wasn't really theirs."

The fans buzz with many re-counting their past experiences of watching Surgeon General.

SG9:" I trained in Japan. Became the human butcher that most of you know me as, and then came back to the United States so that I could cement my legacy as the most technically gifted, charismatically sufficent, machines that have ever decided to lace up a pair of wrestling boots. I've been a World Champion. I've been co-holder of countless Tag Titles. I've cut my way through one night tournaments to be called one of the best wrestlers in the world. I am the embodiment of PURE wrestling."

The fans still don't know what to make of Surgeon General being in the middle of the ring.

SG9:" So, you could have colored me shocked when I get a phone call at the house and it's about a TOURNAMENT for a WORLD TITLE."

The fans cheer because it's seems to them that Surgeon General will be competing in the NLW World Title Tournament.

SG9:" Oh, now kids, don't get too excited. I didn't come back to see any of you. In fact, I actually enjoyed not hearing an arena full of worthless, self-serving, marks rave and rant. I'm not here for any of you. I'm here to make sure that no one...NO ONE...tries to put themselves on top of the mountain I've carved with my hands. There will be suffering and pain like I've never shown you. I might even bring a few friends along so they'll be able to bear witness as I leave all of you... Mr. Smackdown, I hope you're listening...and the NLW locker room IN PIECES!"

With that, Surgeon General gingerly tosses the microphone out of the ring and exits the ring.

Walking back up the isle, fans are booing and throwing trash at the NLW's newest arrival. The fans couldn't be more thrilled.
