It is night fall once again. The scene fades in on Mark Mayhem, who is high atop a cliff on his customized Harley Davidson. He stares at the open sky, with only one thought in his mind.
Mayhem: The NBA World Championship. I have been dreaming of this day since the first time I laid foot in the NBA. I'm not going to sit here in this bike and lie....Ben Zenith has been tough to beat. He knows what he's doing inside that ring. But even if he does, no matter how could a man is, his time will soon arrive. Ben's time to lose is now. My time to shine...is now. There is no way on ath that I am going to lose this time. Let's look at how I got here, and as to why I deserve this title shot, as well as the title itself.
Mayhem pushes down the stand and steps off the motorcycle. He removes his gloves and places them on the handle bars.
Mayhem: Not only am I one half of the Tag Team Champions, but a year and a half ago I earned a shot at the Championship in a Fatal Four Way. I was never given the title shot until now. When Mr. Natural arrived to the NBA with the FTW World Title, I was promised a title shot for his belt, but what happened? The chickenshit retired before we could have the match. But there's more.
In a Mixed Mayhem Match, Selena and I defeated the NBA Major League Champion and The NBA Women's Champion on the same night. Jimmy Ice and Missy Monroe decided to play commentators and it cost them the victory. Two weeks ago, in a 8 Way Intergender Team Elimination Match, I eliminated the chump himself, Ben Zenith. Sure, he's going to say that we eliminated each other, but it still means that I was responsable for his elimination. What does all this mean?
It's simple. At Resurgence, I am the man to beat. Ben is the underdog in this match, and he knows it. He doesn't have a chance in hell. His life is flashing right before his eyes, even as I speak, because he knows that in order to beat me, he is going to need a miracle from God.
Mayhem looks up once again at the stars. The clear sky is a sight to behold.
Mayhem: Ben, I could feel your body break in half when I caved your brainless head in with that steel chair. I know that you will not be at a hundred percent for this match, and quite frankly I don't care. You are going to come in to Resurgence, pretending to be some bad ass with a death wish, and I truly could care less if I ended your career right there and then. I know how hard I can hit, and let's just say that you're probably still unconscious. You might even be in a coma. I don't care. If I have to, we'll have the match in the hospital, where, after a Maniac Slam from me, I will pin your comatose body for the one, two, three.
Let's take a look at the announcement to our match one more time, shall we? I found what was said, very interesting.
The following scenes flash before the screen.
Al: And Finally, "Maniac" Mark Mayhem gets a shot at the NBA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP as he faces the Champion, Ben Zenith....INSIDE THE STEEL CAGE!!! This is a rivalry that goes back to the first ever NBA WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT IN LATE 2004!!! Can the Champ remain focused for this match, or will we be crowning a New Champion? THIS IS GOING TO BE NUTS!!!
The scene cuts back to Mayhem who is now back on his Motorcycle. His gloves are back on and the motor is running.
Mayhem: It's going to be a Steel Cage, and yes Ben, it is going to be nuts! You will not be able to remain focus on this match. There will be a new NBA World Champion, and his name is....MANIAC....MARK.....MAYHEM!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The scene fades out as Mayhem rides away into the pitch black darkness.
End of scene.

“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves...self-discipline with all of them came first.”
- Harry S. Truman 7:15P.M. The NBA Resurgence Press Conference at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IndianaThe scene opens with Ben Zenith standing alongside reporters, answering their questions before taking the podium. He is well dressed and is holding the NBA World Championship in his right hand. For Ben Zenith, it has been a long road to get here. Finally, the first pay per view of the year 2008, and he finds himself in a Cage Match with Mark Mayhem, and then in an Unsanctioned Street Fight with Jimmy Ice. Even if the deck seems stacked against him, he still has a smile planted across his face.
The reporters are unmerciful with their questions. Some, asking about what had occurred towards the end of the last NBA Surge event, while some ask about his Street Fight with Jimmy Ice. Others, ask about the whereabouts of Miss Hyatt, while others ask about his relationship with Bevvy Monroe, Missy's sister. However, Ben has been in this situation before, and he knows exactly how to respond.Ms. Hannah Heatherson is seen taking the podium. The flashes from the camera seem to fill the room. Finally, she addresses the crowd.Hannah:At NBA Resurgence, we will witness a Steel Cage Match for the NBA World Title. Tonight, I want you to meet the man who will be defending the title on March 16. He is a Three Time NBA World Champion. He is a man who needs no introduction, ladies and gentlemen.... Ben Zenith! The crowd applauds, as Ben takes the podium. Ben:I want to thank everyone who came out here tonight. NBA Resurgence looks to be one of the greatest pay per views that you will witness. However, I chose to speak to the reporters before stepping up here tonight, because there is one man that I want to address..... Mark Mayhem. The fans in the crowd boo at the mention of Mark Mayhem's name.Ben:Here's the thing Mayhem. You have always been able to talk a good game. There's no doubt about that. But let's be honest, you have never been able to get the monkey off your back, and by monkey, I don't mean Bobby Money. You have what it takes to be a champion, there's no doubt to that claim. You are after all, one half of the NBA World Tag Team Champions, and part of the longest reigning Tag Team Championship team of all time, because let's face it, there aren't many tag teams in the NBA, except for the Chase Twins, and they're part of your group. The Establishment has arrived, and they are more than capable of taking away your titles. But that's another subject. The crowd cheer at the mention of The Establishment in the NBA.Ben:You say that it's my time to lose, and that it is your time to shine, but to be honest, I have to ask you.... are you sure? Will you be the one to dethrone me, Mark? Will you be the one to take away my NBA World Heavyweight Championship? I highly doubt it. I will be honest, there was a time when I would call you a stooge to Bobby Money, but I see how you've evolved, and come into your own. For that I applaud you, but to say that it is your time to shine, remains to be seen. So let's look at what you've done to get here. Yes, you are one half of the Tag Team Champions. Yes, you did earn a title shot in a Fatal Four Way, and never got your shot. After that, there really is no other reason. You say that you were promised by Natural , a shot at the FTW World Title. I remember no such promises, and if there was one, he lied to you. All I remember is Bobby Money leaving you in the ring to get decimated by Natural when he made his return to the NBA. The crowd once again cheer, but this time at the mention of Mr. Natural. [/img] Ben:You claim to have defeated Jimmy Ice and Missy in your Mixed Mayhem Tag Match. But let's be honest, even if you did win by disqualification, it was because Bobby Money had to pop you in the mouth. What I saw was Missy and Jimmy beating the both of you from pillar to post. Don't fool yourself, because you are not fooling anyone else when you say that. Crowd: Zenith!!! Zenith!!! Zenith!!! Ben:Finally, you claim to be the one who eliminated me in the 8 Person Team Team Elimination Match. Let's look at the replay of that match Mayhem, and then you tell me exactly what happened. The scene cuts to the NBA Surge event in Phoenix, Arizona on February 25th 2008.Al: THIS IS UTTER AND COMPLETE MAYHEM!!!!! NO PUN INTENDED!!! MISSY LOOKS TO HAVE LANDED HARD ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT SHE IS NOT ELIMINATED!!! JIMMY AND BOBBY ARE TRADING BLOWS, SETH JORDAN AND THE CHASE TWINS ARE TRIPLE TEAMING MATT MONROE!!! SELENA AND BEVVY ARE GOING AT IT!!! ETHAN IS PUMMELING IAN MASON!!! DAVE AND OMEN IS GOING AT IT!!! BUT IT'S SEVEN ON FIVE!!!! ERIN EVERHART GOES OVER TO ASSIST MISSY!!!! MARK MAYHEM IS IN THE RING WITH BEN!!!! THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH GOING ON, AND I AM ABOUT TO LOSE MY VOICE!!!!!!
Mark nails Ben with a MANIAC SLAM inside the ring. He sees Erin helping Missy and he goes to the outside and pushes her away, causing her to sprain her ankle as she falls backwards. Mark stomps Missy in the back of the head, grabs a chair and runs back in the ring to use it on Ben, who is back on his feet, yet dazed. Mark charges with the chair, but Ben Kicks the Steel Chair back into Marks face, causing him to stagger backwards. Ben charges at Mark, eliminating himself with Mark. The crowd goes nuts, as they know that Missy was never eliminated from the match.
**DING, DING, DING!!!!** The scene cuts back to Ben Zenith. The crowd cheers that the faces won, but boos as to what The New Society did on the last NBA Surge Event against them.Ben:Mark, you didn't eliminate anyone. I eliminated myself for the good of the team, and we won. Now what did get my attention is that you used a steel chair, not only over my head, but you used it on Bevvy as well, and that's a big no-no. You put your disgusting hands on the wrong person, and for that you are going to pay. I personally asked for this match Mark. I already beat Bobby too many times to count, so I figured I would spread the love around. The crowd cheers Ben on, as he speaks. Hannah is seen with a serious look on her face as she finally decides to take a seat. Suddenly, Ben spots Bevvy in the corner of his eye. She is seen peaking her head out from backstage, hoping to see Ben. Ben takes it as a sign to hurry up. He gladly does so, as he continues to address the crowd.Ben:Now, with what you did towards my person and towards Bevvy, is enough motivation for me to come into the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana on our first pay per view of the year, and shatter your skull against the steel cage. You talk about being a Maniac. You talk about being successful in Cage Matches. Mark, you are about to trapped in a Cage with the Heavyweight Champion of this World. You are about to face a man who has more to lose in this match than you do. Did you actually think that this would be a walk in the park? Did you actually think that I was going to let you hit me over the head with a steel chair and let you get away with it? Let's get this straight Mark, you are not the man to beat in this match. If you want my Title, you have to get locked in a steel cage with me first. The crowd is mesmorized by the intensity displayed by Ben Zenith.Ben:Oh, it won't be easy. Because just in case you are wondering, I've been hit worst before, and I'm still standing. I will be at one hundred percent when Resurgence rolls around. I guarantee it. You are right about one thing Mark, this match will be nuts. This match is going to set the Conseco Fieldhouse on fire. But you are wrong about two things. First, I am more than focused for our match, and Second, there will not be a new NBA World Champion crowned that night. But, there will be a winner. And he is the Zenith of Professional Wrestling. His name..... BEN ZENITH!The crowd stand to their feet and erupt in cheers for the NBA World Champion and for the NBA.Crowd: Zenith!!! Zenith!!! Zenith!!! Crowd: NBA!!! NBA!!! NBA!!! NBA!!! Ben leaves the podium and walks towards the back as the crowd cheers him on. He looks for Bevvy, and finally finds her. She is breathtakingly beautiful as ever. Ben walks towards her and gently grabs her hands. He lovingly stares into her eyes and gives her a hug.Bevvy: What's this about, Ben? Ben:I just missed you, is all. Bevvy: Really? Cause you know something....I missed you too baby. Ben looks deep into her eyes once more, and before the scene fades out, he closes in for a long passionate kiss.
End of scene. “The Master of Life's been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where other saw oblivion. He Has given new purpose to live for, new services to render and old wounds to heal. Life and love go on, let the music play.”[/center] - Johnny Cash

Out of Character: Ben, I want to respond openly to your pm. First, thanks for the compliment. I think you should know Ben, that if Ethan did get better at roleplaying, it's because you really did inspire him to (and he would agree). And I have to say that during the last year alone, you have been an inspiration and motivation to me as well. If I have picked up my game to a high level, it is because of you. Not many people will say it openly, but I will. To me, you are truly one of best ever. You dish out some of the most original promos I have ever seen. I am not saying this to kiss your ass, because you know how I am. I'm sayin it cause it's true, and you deserve some open recognition.

Mark: Now, to take the title.
It is that time again. Some might say that Mark Mayhem was born sadistic. Some might go as far as to say that perhaps he was raised by something other than a human being. Don't let his appearance fool you. He is something other than a human being.
Mark is once again on his Harley Davidson. A black and chrome Chopper that seems to match his outfit. Mark is in his signature blue jeans, black boots, black biker gloves, and a long black trench, that covers his black sweater. Selena sits behind him, with a black leather mini, and a black leather coat, which covers her white, see-through, tee. Her arms are wrapped around the waist of Mark. They take in the view, but in the back of their minds, they realize what awaits them. Destiny awaits. Mark has been known as many things, to many people.
Bodyguard. When he first arrived on the seen, he never spoke a word. He spoke with his fists. However, a man as imposing as he was, was not going to stay out of the ring for long. He still remembers the first time, like it was yesterday. His first match was against Raw Impact, now known as Ben Zenith, in the first round of the NBA World Title Tournament. The match was completely one sided. Mark lost that night, but he would never forget it.
Tag Team Specialist. There is no doubt in anyone's mind, that Mark Mayhem and Bobby Money make a great team, if not the best team ever. The longest reigning Tag Team Champions in NBA History. It was an amazing feat actually, to defeat two former World Champions for the NBA Tag Team Championship. Who was that team? Eddie G. and Ben Zenith. You would think that after accomplishing that goal, that people would give them a little respect. But no, night in and night out they continued to prove the critics wrong.
Mark Mayhem has been known as a lot of things, but never as NBA World Champion. This is where he comes in.
Mark: Ben, there is this little voice inside my head that I can't seem to turn off. Maybe it's just me, and maybe it's not, but it tells me things that I sometimes cannot repeat. All I can do, is act out on what that voice tells me to do. At Resurgence Ben, my voice will have hands, and it will have feet, and it will decimate and destroy you from one side of the cage to the other. That little voice tells me, "Take what belongs to you." I have never heard this voice so clearly before until now.
Ben, it isn't what is taken from you that is the most precious. It's what was never given to you. I was never given this opportunity, until now. I was never given a chance to prove that I was World Championship material until now. You see, Bobby had his chance, and he was unsuccessful. He gave me his blessing, and he told me to make sure I come back with the NBA World Heavyweight Title. That is what I intend to do.
Selena: And I intend to come back with the NBA Women's Title. Missy, you and Jimmy can act the fool all you want. You can call us all the names in the world. But just make sure that next time you do, please add World Champion, and Women's Champion in there as well. The reality is the the New Society has always been leaps and bounds better than the current champions we have today. They can continue denying us the opportunity, but eventually, everything that we desire will be ours.
Mark: Ben, just remember that when Bobby defeats Jimmy for the NBA Major League Championship and I defeat you for the NBA World Championship, and Selena here wins the NBA Women's Championship, aside from the United States Championship and the Universal Media Championship, we will have the majority of the championships, and with those championships, power. We told you that we were taking over the NBA, now there is nothing left but the taking.
Mark begins to rev up the motor as he stares into the camera, along with Selena. The chopper drifts to the side before they ride away, leaving a cloud of dust. Afterwards, Darkness fades in.

Reality can merely be an illusion, although a very persistent one. Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. what we take to be true is our reality. However, in all of this there is one thing that remains true.Mark Mayhem is a man who openly claims to be delusional. He hear's voices in his head at night, and even during the day. It is not the voice of Selena that speaks to him. It is not even the voice of Bobby Money. It is a voice that controls his thoughts. It controls his actions. But it doesn't matter what the voice tells him. It doesn't even matter where it leads him. One thing it won't do for him is win a World Title.Until now, the scene has been pitch black. But now we enter a new scene. The scene is that of a Wildfire in Southern California. A wildfire, also known as a wildland fire, forest fire, brush fire, vegetation fire, grass fire, peat fire, bushfire, or hill fire, is an uncontrolled fire often occurring in wildland areas, but which can also consume houses or agricultural resources. Common causes include lightning, human carelessness, arson, volcano eruption, and pyroclastic cloud from active volcano. Heat waves, droughts, and cyclical climate changes such as El Niño can also have a dramatic effect on the risk of wildfires.
The word "wildfire" was once a synonym for Greek fire as well as a word for any furious or destructive conflagration. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest known usages are specifically for lightning-caused conflagrations. The modern usage may have arisen in part from people misunderstanding the expression "spread like wildfire".
However, here is the thing about wildfires. It can be detected. It can be prevented. It can be surpressed. Mark Mayhem is like a wildfire. He wants to destroy everythin in his path. He has no real sense of control. He is wild. Yet, like a wildfire, he has his limits. Eventually he is snuffed out. And just like that...the scene changes once again.Mayhem. Chaos. Both words mean the same thing. The Good Book tells us that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day" and the darkness He called "night." And there was evening and there was morning -- the first day.
Did you see what the Big Man upstairs did? He put Chaos in its place. He made sure that everyone could see the difference between the light and the darkness. Since the beginning, the light always prevailed against darkness. And at Resurgence, I, Ben Zenith, will prevail against Mark Mayhem. However, since we are talking about the beginning, let us change the scene once more. To the begining.Your fist match in the NBA was against me. It marvelled me how you desperately tried to intimidate me. You never spoke a word. Perhaps, you were letting the "voices" speak for you. But what they said, meant nothing to me that day. And it means nothing to me now. Maybe you couldn't hear them clearly through the noise of the crowd. Maybe you couldn't hear them through the sound of your back hitting the ground when I nailed you with a Powerbomb. Maybe you couldn't hear them through the sound of the referee counting your shoulders to the mat, "one, two, three". Whatever the reason you concoct Mayhem, the answer is the same. The better man won that night. And in everyone's point of view, I will always be the better man.
It is not about how much you say, it's about what you say, and what you do afterwards to back it up. I have always backed up everything I say. I have proven time and time again, why I am the one true Zenith in this sport. Just look at the list of people I've beaten. Men that deserve more than you do. The only way, I could ever be beaten was through treachery or deceit. And I have seen my fair share of both. I have seen people talk until blood would come out of my ears. But when the time came for action, all their talk meant nothing. All of their speeches put together, was not good enough to win them an election, let alone a match against me. So Mark, do what you do best. Lose.
Let me make this perfectly clear so that there is no misunderstanding between us. I asked for this match, because I know the kind of competitor you can be when properly motivated. I even made it a Steel Cage Match. A match you swear to be unstoppable in. But Mark, here is where what I said in the begining catches up to you. This is where reality sets in. This is where the difference between my light and your darkness comes in. This is where the present meets the past, as history repeats itself all over again. The reality is that you will be facing a man who is better than ever before. My light will always conquer your darkness. And if, "In the begining" I defeated you, in the end I will do more than just defeat you.
Mark, continue to learn. Continue to grow. Maybe one day, you will be found worthy of this title. There is only one like it in the entire world. This title has been defended more times than I would care to count. But think of this. I've defended this title three times against Bobby Money, and in those three times, he has fallen flat on his face. There is a saying, "Three strikes and your out". But to be honest, you are not worth my time. With you, I will just end up catching your pop fly ball. The New Society is going to get used to not wearing any Gold, especially after Resurgence.
One last thing before I go. You talked about all of those voices in your head. But there is only one voice I want you listen to carefully, after our match is over. That is the voice of out ring announcer, Dean Baxter, when he grabs the mic and declares the following words.And the scene goes pitch black.
