The era has begun. After unmasking himself last week, Gregory Helms unleashed a new side of his persona, opting to take away his Hurricane gimmick. The mask was thrown off a building, in a bid to prove to the world that he has changed his ways. After coming off an impressive debut win against Jamie Noble, Helms is going on to the Sunday Night Showdown against Sonny Siaki. However, at lasts weeks Nitro, Helms has made an enemy out of Christian. Will Christian try and spoil the new winning era of Helms?

Our scene opens up at the beach. It is not daytime though, and the dark night is lit up by the glowing figure of the moon. Our cameras are panned in on a beach fire, burning bright red. The camera slowly pans back and we see Gregory Helms standing infront of the fire, holding a large bag in one hand.

Gregory Helms: " Last week. I threw away that green abomination of a mask. Falling from the top of that building - it was symbolic. What it meant was simple. As I was protecting the citizens of these filth ridden streets, I was falling. When I was doing my best to help the innocent, I got kicked down again an again. I was falling. Ever since I dawned that damn mask I kept falling and falling and not one person tried to help me. "

Helms pauses

Gregory Helms: " I have now realised that the only thing I can do now is myself. Jamie Noble, you were casualty number one. You thought you were better than me, thought you could overcome ME! You made a huge mistake Jamie and you under estimated me. You thought that I would still be under that man Hurricane mask didn't you? You redneck idiot! You thought wrong and that was your downfall."

Helms opens his bad and produces his Hurricane cape

Gregory Helms: " This is all thats left from my past. This cape. This was the item that helped make me a hero. Now, it means nothing to me. As far as this thing goes, it was always going to be the downfall of me. I told the world that I couldn't do this anymore. And i'm here tonight to end it all."

Helms takes the cape and throws it into the fire. The flames rises high as it engulfs the cape.

Gregory Helms: " There is nothing left for me to burn anymore. Inside, I feel in control. The Hurricane is my past, and I will never return to that symbol ever again. When your daughter or son goes missing, if your store gets robbed, if you cry for help.. I will no longer answer. I will no longer be waiting in the wings to help you. You people made me do this, and you deserve everything that is coming to you. I have broken my ties with you, only god is there to help and lets be honest, how many times do you pray a week - how many times are your prayers answered? Answer me that!"

Helms walks away from the fire.

Hurricane Helms: " Christian. Who exactly do you think you are? You think you can just walk on in and piss on my parade? Fat chance on that Christian. You have pissed off the wrong person and i'm getting the impression that you really couldn't care less. Let me tell you this Christian, does your immature brain recognise when you piss off the wrong person? Is there no warning signs? Or do you just get, Dude, you have totally hurt that reekazoids feelings? Either way, your dumb, your stupid, and your now a marked man."

Helms laughs

Hurricane Helms: " You must think it's quite funny to keep referring me back to my former self, the Hurricane? Maybe you haven't realised that I have moved on from that state? It is sad that you keep bringing that up, trying to throw in a few cheap shots about me, maybe it makes you feel that much better about yourself. Christian, the moment you crossed paths with me was the moment of your downfall. You are pissing about with the wrong person Christian, and at Greed, if I were you i'd be watching my back. You ever felt someones spine break in two? It's not pretty, especially when you hear the snap, then the crack of the bone. I have sent you a video presentation to arrive at your locker room before Greed. It is about the spine, and how important it is to the human structure. It shows you the advantages of having a fully functional spine. Then, the package goes on to show what it's like having your spine broken. Being wheelchair bound is not a pretty sight Christian. Your paralyzed, you loose your mobility. The package then finishes with a few video clips of a move I like to call, The Vertebreaker. You will see how the Vertebreaker is executed, and what damages it does to the human spine."

Helms produces a sick grin

Hurricane Helms: " You see Christian, if you ever piss me off again. Remember that video package, remember the Vertebreaker, and when you put two and two together - your future will be in a damn wheelchair!!"

Helms puts his hand in the camera and pushes it away, forcing the feed to disrupt.


The scene opens up once again, this time we are only hours away from WCW's PPV Greed. We see Shane Helms, standing once again infront of the backdrop of the WCW logo, the exact location we seen him last week.

Gregory Helms: " Tonight is WCW Greed, the pay-per-view with quite a fitting name. Yet, I am once again being disrespected and have been told that I am not apart of the main card! This is typical, just typical of Eric Bischoff. You done this once before Eric, you have tried to stop me from elevating myself onto the bigger picture. Be warned Eric, I will not hesitate to ruin this show! You got attacked last time on Nitro... you deserve much worse Eric. It is disrespectful to me and I will not tolerate it, not anymore!"

Helms pauses for a moment.

Gregory Helms: " Last week in my 'dark match' I think I done enough to show WCW that I am one of the best superstars that this place has to offer! I beat - no, I kicked Jamie Noble around like he was my bitch! Did he stand a chance? Hell no! I breathed new life into WCW when I stepped through those rings for the first damn time in a long, long time. I showed I still had the power in me to produce an ass kicking. Yet, I am still not good enough for the main card? That, will not keep happening, I guarantee it.."

Helms laughs for a second.

Gregory Helms: " So after beating Jamie Noble, WCW once again throws another two-but jobber my way. Sonny. Siaki. Who the hell is Sonny Siaki? Can anybody please step up and answer me that damn question... No, I didn't think so. You know why nobody can answer, is because nobody, and I mean nobody cares about Sonny Siaki. Sonny, at the moment you are getting the biggest amount of media coverage you have ever had in your life. Not, because of who you are, but because of who your facing. I was a public Icon Sonny, and a future WCW Champion, thats why you are getting all this coverage..Come to think of it, I still don't know who the hell you are?!? But it wont matter anyway, after Greed you will be gone, you will probably do a disappearing act, play a few gigs in some independent scene and piss off back to Samoa and have cook outs with your fifty cousins and forty wives, whilst roastin' a damn pig on the beach.."

Helms laughs

Gregory Helms: " You Samoans amuse me. You like to pitch forward your family values. You walk into the wrestling world in your bare feet and your big wide cheesy grins, being all happy in that. Then you dress like your a flintstone! What is with you people? You parade around your villages naked, whilst ninety damn percent of your body is covered in ink. It's a joke! You look stupid and your gonna make me look stupid by being in the ring with you Let me tell you this Siaki, if you actually think that you are gonna beat me, then you have another thing comin'! "

Helms then stops, and takes a breath

Gregory Helms: " Siaki, I was listening to your little interview last week with your whore bitch Desire. And one thing I picked up on, was that you said you had a career threatening injury and the doctors said you wouldn't wrestle again? No offence Sonny, but that is the biggest pile of bullshit that I have ever heard. You were trying to play some sympathy card weren't you Sonny? You knew damn well that you can't wrestle and you tried to mask away your embarresment by giving some half assed excuse about a fake injury! If you want Sonny, just say the word and i'll make sure your career is finished for good, all it takes is one, just one vertebreaker and your gone! Wheelchair bound for life. Then, just then we will see who plays on your sympathy. Your bitch friend Desire, she wont want to stay with a man who can't 'get it up' so she will be immediaty out on the closest street corner with one motto - Will Suck for Cash!."

Helms giggles.

Gregory Helms: " We all wear masks though Sonny. Some visible, some hidden. When you look at me, you probably don't see the man thats deep inside me. You will just see my mask. The mask I wear is someone who puts on a plain face like a normal nine to five worker who just wants to get on in life. But inside, i'm two faced. One face is about retribution, about revenge! I will never forget about my Molly, and I will punish anyone who gets in my way of success. I will break your bones, bleed you dry and beat you down if it means getting to the top! The other face, well, I think it's best to keep that closed for now."

Another pause

Gregory Helms: " You call yourself, the 'Ace in the hole' - to me Sonny your just an asshole. I hate the way you look, the way you act and they way you bitch and moan about a fake injury. We have a match later tonight, you either show or you go Sonny, simple as that. But Sonny, I hope you are going to be prepared for me. I will only be here tonight to beat you down and make sure you don't get back up again, so you've been warned Sonny. Take out as much health insurance as you can 'cause you will need it. As for you Christian. I have said what I needed to say regarding you. Watch your back! Both of you, I guarentee you this.. BOTH OF YOU will, by the end of the night, will feel the ever lasting life long effect... of the...."

VERTEBREAKER

Helms produces a serious look as he walks away from the camera.
