The weather has constantly been decreasing in the past few weeks. The wind has picked up and when looking around at the trees the leaves are covering the ground like a colorful blanket. Every where you walk winter coats are being taken from the closet and now are being worn to keep out the cold. Fire wood is stacked outside the house anticipating many days of use by the fire place. Christmas decorations are even beginning to sprout out in various yards bringing the perspective of the season to life. The weather is not the only thing that has been changing though, in ROH the atmosphere has drastically changed after the last pay per view.
Changes were made at the last pay per view that have affected the roster in many ways. New champions where crowned across the board in nearly every match.Challengers emerged to face champions, enemies were forced to cooperate, the possibility of a lovers spat, a new challenger to the World Champion in old friend, and new Pure Champion in a cowboy who has been chasing the champion for months and finally dethroned him. Tonight a new chapter begins and once again titles will be on the line for two of the top competitors.
The cameras open up in a late evening of November where you can see the sun setting behind the bare trees of a graveyard. The trees are swaying in the wind and leaves are blowing across the ground, you can see fresh flowers placed at the graves before camera pans over where an old red brick church sits obviously there for many years. Standing just above the stairs in front of the old white wooden doors of the church is James Storm, dressed in black cowboy boots, blue jean pants, black shirt, black trench coat, black gloves, and black cowboy hat, Annie Social, who is wearing black boots and cameo clothing, holding each belt on one shoulder, and Sterling James Keenan, dressed in blue jeans, black boots, black shirt, and black trench coat.

Welcome Mick Foley to a place of history, a place of miracles, a place of faith. All three of these things go with our match, you are history, a legend in the business, a miracle will be what you need to beat me, and faith, some thing that I have knowing that I will hurt you so bad I put you back into retirement. You see we are gathered here today at this church because today I need to pray. You see normally I don't ask God to forgive me of my sins until they happen, but knowing what is going to happen tonight I need to speak to God and let him know of the pain and suffering I am going to cause upon another human being. When I saw that you won at the pay per view I knew I was going to be in for a tough match, then when management decided to take away the rules they put me in your element. They put us in a match where careers are shortened, if not ended.
James Storm, Annie Social, and Sterling James Keenan turn to face the church, James opens the white oak doors to the church as Annie and Sterling walk inside. James follows in behind them and lets the old oak doors come to leaving the cold weather outside. As you enter the church old red carpet covers the floor all the way to the pulpit, rows of old oak pews on two sides of the church show the signs of age, old oak wood is the foundation for the floor of the pulpit where a oak pedestal stands in the center. Annie and Sterling walk to the front row and sit on the front left pew and as James Storm walks toward the pulpit Annie hands James the FIP championship. James walks up the pulpit to stand behind the pulpit placing the FIP championship on the pedestal facing the camera.

It's all about this title right here Mick. I have held this title since it was introduced into ROH. I have no intentions of letting this title out of my hands any time soon and especially not to some has been who made a reputation out of throwing himself off of large things and getting beat so bad he doesn't remember his own name the next day. Mick you need to face the fact that you are old and your body is out of shape. But let me tell you this, if you step in the ring with me Monday night, I will make sure that by the time I'm done with you, you will never get back in the ring again. I say this Mick not because I hate you, but because I respect you. I respect what you have done in this business but you need to learn when to let go.
I know I can't beat any sense into you, other wise you would be a genius after all you have gone through. But what I can do for you, is hurt you Mick, hurt you so bad that you won't have a choice about coming back into this ring ever again. And for this reason, and this reason alone is why I'm here today, so that I may pray to God for forgiveness and hope that he will have mercy on my soul for the sin I am going to commit tonight.. So Annie, Sterling, if you would bow your heads I like to say a prayer of forgiveness for myself and a prayer that I don't go to far and kill Mick tonight.
Lord, I'm here today to ask for your forgiveness. I know I have sinned for I am a sinner, but today I do not come to you for past sins I have committed, but for a sin I will commit tonight. Tonight I plan on doing harm to another human being. Lord tonight two men will go into battle, and lives will be shortened by the sheer violence that will occur, Lord I plan on going into this battle with the knowledge of the crimes I will commit against this man and I pray that you will forgive me. Lord be with us tonight, but with Mick most of all because I plan on ending his career in the wrestling business. Lord help this beating I will give Mick to help him to understand that his career is over. It is in your name that I pray, Amen.
The camera pans over to Annie and Sterling who has tissues in their hands and have tears running down one side of their faces from the speech James Storm just said aloud.The camera then zooms in to James Storm's face, the look in James Storm's eyes could paint a picture or write a book by the way they look. There is a dark coldness in them, lacking of compassion, a look of pain, a look that says that when I get my hands on you there will be no way out. Then the camera fades slowly to black as you can still see the look in James Storm's eyes as the screen goes to a complete darkness.
