“Jerry, I know Mr. Detonator was a legend in this company… BUT, that’s the reason this was such a bad company, you are relying on guys like Mr. Detonator all of a sudden. I beat him and I want him banned… Not because I dislike him, but for the good of this company, because this is a new era and old folks like him need to be gone. So Jerry, can you please contact that old has-been and tell him that he is no longer need.”
“Wait a minute, ‘not good for the company’? Are you telling me that you’re what’s good for the company? This is ridiculous, Greer… What you’ve been doing has been nothing more than a joke.”
“Calm down, you probably just need a nap seeing as your temper is starting to rise, either that or you’ll have to pay for your own therapy. You do realize I am the NHW CEO, so I will suspend you if I have to. This company needs profit which means it needs me, I will turn this company into a successful one when we finally bring in the money, which will eventually help me into a happy retirement.”
“I’m sick and tired of this… You know what, say no more, what you said at Fusion is what you’ve got, a match at the One Year Anniversary show because it’s apparently good for the company… Hopefully this will shut you up and I’m not allowing you to pick your opponent. At Imperial Vultures, we will both get inside the ring and I will introduce your opponent.”
“Fine by me, Jerry. Just remember this, when you look at the buyrate the following week after the One Year Anniversary show, that Jerry, was because everyone wants to see wrestling, which is why they tuned in… To watch Matt Greer.”

The camera pans up to reveal a dimly lit and grotty room. In this room stands Corvo and just behind him stands the mystery man from earlier who we still do not know. Corvo has both NHW Tag Team Championships, one placed on each shoulder, Corvo looks at the camera and begins to speak.
"Now… I'm afraid I have some tragic news. My dear friend and partner…"
The unknown man behind Corvo lets out a smug stifled laugh. Corvo also stifles a laugh, then speaks again.
"Now, as I was saying… My ‘partner’ David Zutos has sadly come down with an unknown ailment and shall sadly be unable to help me, defend the gold which currently hangs and glimmers around my shoulders."
Corvo then adjusts the belts around his shoulders.
"Of course I have spoken to NHW Management, and they have informed me that I have no need to vacate the titles, but instead simply find an alternative partner."
The unknown man and Corvo then look at each other and nod, Corvo then slowly looks back to the camera.
“Thankfully, finding this alternative partner was very easily done. In fact, it's almost as if he was there… Waiting…"
Corvo then slides one of the Tag Titles off his shoulder and hands it to the mysterious man behind him, the man smirks and places the belt on his own shoulder.
"Ladies and gentleman, I introduce to you… Adam Faith…" Corvo announces. The man now known as Adam Faith, steps forward and Corvo takes place behind him. Faith inhales deeply and exhales slowly, then he begins to speak.
"That smell… It's familiar, that smell is fear and I can tell already, that we've struck fear into the hearts of the talent here in NHW. We're here, not to pretend that we're the best, not to boast that we're untouchable, for we are not. We are simply men… But men, that are not defeated easily, disheartened simply or stopped suddenly. Our purpose may not become clear to you all straight away… But, when it becomes obvious, you will understand… Understand, that we are here… To save you all…"
Corvo and Faith then stand side by side, and slowly raise their Championships into the air, whilst the camera zooms in on Faith’s NHW Tag Team Championship then pans to Corvo’s as fades out.
