**'Rock You Like a Hurricane' by Scorpions starts playing on the PA system, signalling the arrival of Steven Storm and Lukio Hetra Ramirez. Storm looks around slowly at the crowd and then makes his way to the ring with mic in hand. As he strolls down the ramp he pensively rubs the facial hair on his stern-looking face. Storm quickly slides into the ring under the bottom rope as Lukio walks up the stairs into the ring.**

Steven Storm: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen...if we have any here that is. Tonight, Lukio and I have the extreme pleasure of participating in the opening act of this week's New Age Underground Friday Night Corruption.

**Storm's voice is heavily laden with sarcasm. He runs his free hand through his hair as he holds the mic away with the other hand. He quickly brings the mic back up to his mouth and begins to pace back and forth in the ring**

Steven Storm: But, before I get too far ahead of myself, I suppose I had better properly introduce myself. You see, last week the formality of an introduction like you saw a bunch of other bozos do slipped from my mind as I was so ticked off about what happened to my friend here. Anyways...let's see, where should I begin? Well, my name is Steven Storm for those of you who don't already know. Umm, I like long walks on the beach and crushing other wrestler's backs with my Scorpion Hold. I guess that about sums it up. Did I forget anything Lukio?

**Storm takes a quick glance at Lukio who shakes his head at Storm's question.**

Steven Storm: Now that that's out of the way, I can talk a little bit of business. You see, last week Lukio and I made our NAU debut. We kind of got our butts handed to us last week...but there are a few reasons for that, none of which mind you include our opponents of last week being better athletes than us. I mean, come on, what more could anyone expect from us? Lukio got hit in the head with a lead pipe, and of course I was then worrying about my friend, so my mind was definitely not focused on the match. Well, tonight it is not so. Tonight I am completely focused on this match. Tonight Lukio's head is doing just fine. Tonight our opponents are gonna be the ones having everyone on the bus ride home stare at the cuts and bruises on their face. Tonight we will redeem ourselves.

**Storm gives the mic to a ring attendant and takes off his black warm up top, ready to wrestle.**
