(CUTTO: The majestic PARSONS CRUISE LINER II, a cruise ship currently docked in sunny Miami before it launches on its annual voyage. Families line the decks to see their loved ones off, as well as to get a glimpse of all the hoopla as the entire CSWA boards... almost. As the U-62 introduction comes to an end, the camera zooms above the boat, showing the aft deck taken over with a wrestling ring and seating for just over three hundred lucky cruisers. Rhubarb Jones is warming up the crowd from the ring as the setting sun lights up the skyline in pinks and oranges, matching some of the lights flashing over and around the ring. Quarters are tight -- the fans are even closer than normal to the ring and the rampway. Gethard's security team is ready for anything that might come up... hopefully.)
(CUTTO: The commentators' table next to the ring, where we see, as usual, BILL BUCKLEY and SAMMY BENSON.)
BB: HELLOOOOO wrestling fans. Welcome to beautiful Miami, Florida and the PCL II that is ready to launch right after our Main Event, as part of the CSWA's PRIMETIME POOLJAM Tour of the Caribbean! I'm Bill Buckley, this is Sammy Benson, and we're thrilled to kick off another season here on U-62.
SB: And to think, we were on this channel when the only other things they had were dogs running through obstacle courses and Weird Al.
BB: If you saw the premiere of the CSWA's newest show, VERSUS, then you're all caught up and ready to go here tonight! A quick update -- we've had all sorts of folks looking out to see UNIFIED Champion Troy Windham board the boat, and so far, I haven't seen hide nor hair of the Champ!
SB: If he's on this boat, just look for the nearest twelve-year old girl and you'll find him.
BB: We also haven't received word as to whether Troy's brother, and the man who actually has the UNIFIED belt in his possession, Mark Windham, has shown up to board either. And we just heard that Steve Radder may be a no-show.
SB: Maybe they all got the booking in the mail and thought it was a joke. Can you really blame them?
BB: We know that Troy has been less than scarce since his injury...and to be honest, humiliation, at the hands of his brother. We know that Troy checked out of the hospital without doctor's approval, and since then, CSWA officials have been completely silent. The PROTEGE event was cancelled, all his on-sales were changes... Sammy, I think we have to live with the fact that we may not have a UNIFIED World Champion at the moment.
SB: Worse than that...we may not even have the belt. Mark ran off with it, and for all we know, disappeared into some brothel again.
BB: The good news, however, is that the eight men competing in tonight's matches are on-board and ready to go. Steven Shane makes his CSWA debut against long-time foe Cameron Cruise. JA defends the Greensboro Title against CSWA rookie Christian Montiero. Mike Randalls and Timmy Windham face off in a rematch for the ages. And in the MAIN EVENT, Hornet puts the United States Title on the line against Kin Hiroshi.
SB: Bugbrain vs. Muffin Man. Yikes.
BB: And we're told that to kick things off tonight, Mike Randalls has decided to grace us with his presence from the back.
