Introducing first...
Weighing in at 375 pounds...
“Playboy” Harrison Phillips
Kevin Cole: Their first opponent is the 375-pound Harrison Phillips!
(Unfamiliar music hits on the PA System, not used by any current FCW wrestler that is known of. Metalhead's know the song as "Detox" by Strapping Young Lad, but many fans have a look of wonder on their faces as everyone in the arena looks at the entrance ramp. A figure that has not been seen in the FCW in well over a year walks from the back, the figure of former 2-time FCW World Champion, Scion. The crowd goes nuts as Scion walks down the aisle with a purpose. He doesn't even acknowledge the fans as he slides under the bottom rope and picks up a microphone that was laying in the center of the ring.)
Scion: ... I'm baaaaaaaaack!!!
(The crowd pops as the former champ nods and smiles.)
Scion: Thanks; I needed that. So this is the deal. I am once again signed with the fed that gave me a chance to shine, the fed that made Scion a household name. The only fed that ever gave a shit about me. Full Contact Wrestling welcomes back Scion!!!
(The crowd pops again.)
Scion: OK, so I've been watching FCTV religiously. There's factions, stables, feuds, idiots, etc. etc. It's like I never left. Seems to me that a lot of top FCW guys are getting downed with injury, personal problems, or whatever. So a couple weeks ago, I gave a call to James Crawford and asked if he would have any interest in my return. After all, I've been sitting at home nursing an injury for the last several months, and now that I'm 100%, I want to wrestle. I've been on the top of the business, and recently, I've been on the bottom. But during that time, I came to the conclusion that I didn't HAVE to be miserable or a has-been. I'm far too young to be a has-been anyway.
(Scion laughs a bit.)
Scion: So I'm going to level with you fans right now. You can like me or you can hate me. But I will tell you right now that I've come to the FCW for two reasons. To relive my glory of a couple years ago, and to do whatever I can to make the lives of whomever I choose, miserable. I will do anything it takes to win. I'm not in a shroud of morality that keeps me from choking the life out of the innocent. I am going to go out there, and kick the asses of everyone I can as I scratch and claw my way to the top of this business once again. I will do what I want, when I want, how I want. The only 3 people I will listen to in the FCW are Mr. Crawford and....sigh...the Thespian Express. Everyone else is fair game to be a steppingstone as I return to greatness.
(The crowd has a mixed reaction right now.)
Scion: Yeah, I know some of you will be die-hard supporters and those few are all I care about. Fans and wrestlers alike don't really have any idea what I can do even despite my 2 previous World Title reigns. So what I'm going to do is go out there, and show the Scion that made it to that pinnacle, rather than the Scion whose desperation ruined him. Win or lose, I don't care. I'm out here to destroy people. Its destroy or be destroyed, kill or be killed, and I sure as hell will not be a victim anymore!
(Scion tosses the mic down.)

Kevin Cole: And Deacon King cannot make it in time!
(The referee goes to raise Monarch’s hand. He pulls it away, and uses it to give Payne a one-finger salute. He then helps Samson to his feet, shakes his hand, and raises his arm. As the Wrecking Crew stand in the center on the ring, Payne just chuckles to himself as he drops off the ring apron and heads to the back.)
Nik Cain: Man, you can cut that tension with a knife. Monarch and Payne cannot stand each other and Monarch doesn’t look thrilled about eliminating two Horsemen.
Kevin Cole: Maybe not but he and Payne have advanced to round two and will face the winners of this next match.

This contest is a no-DQ-tag team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first...
Led to the ring by Alex DiGiacomo...
Weighing in at 100 pounds...
"The People's Canadian Midget" Quackman
Kevin Cole: It can’t be! It is!
(Everybody’s favorite midget of dubious sexuality, Quackman, comes through the curtain. And to the horror of some and amusement of others, he is sporting a bright yellow thong with a smiley face on the crotch.)
Nik Cain: Well I guess it just wouldn’t be the Lethal Lottery without ole Quacks. He actually won the whole thing the first year with Deathwish and, if I recall correctly, he and Dream Warrior got to the semis last year. And, in hindsight, using the word “semi” when a guy in a thong is on camera was probably not wise.
And his partner...
Weighing in at 230 pounds...
Jean
Kevin Cole: Here comes Jean!
Nik Cain: Oh man. I think everyone in this building is happy to see Quackman except for one guy, and you’re looking at that one guy.
