POI Wrestling Episode 37
The show begins and a voice is heard; “Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssteeeeeerrrrrrrr Kennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneddddddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyâ€
Ken Kennedy’s music hits and he walks down to the ring.
Kennedy: KENNEDY! Last week that punk Jimmy Jacobs attacked me for no reason. I’m a good person, why would anyone want to hurt me? I know that none of you would, right? *crowd boos* Now that’s no way to treat a King. You people are worthless, even if you all charged the ring at once, I could still take out each and every one of you.
Jimmy Jacobs music hits and he runs to the ring. When Jacobs gets into the ring he and Kennedy begin to exchange punches. A referee runs to the ring and the bell is rung.

Albright: For those of you that don’t know, I am the “Gun for Hire†Brent Albright. Last week I got my first shot at the main event here in POI and I came up short. This week I wasn’t even booked. That got me thinking, there’s one older wrestler one the roster who doesn’t deserve his spot. He lost two weeks in a row; he’s a waste of TV time, and a waste of money. Now I’m going to take him out. You should know who I’m talking about, but if you can’t figure it out, the dead man walking is Taz. Taz; I recommend that you watch your back.

Raven is in the back and he has requested some time to speak.
Raven: Edge, last week I did what I said I was going to do when I knocked you out. Let’s say I paid what was owed. Now Edge you knocked me out once, I knocked you out once, but we’ve never beat one another in a match. I think that we should change that. I propose that we have a match, a match that could easily end a wrestler’s career. I propose that we have a Last Man Standing match. You can give me your answer next week.
