(09-25-2023, 01:19 PM)Ned Kaye Said: Backstage we see Ned Kaye, leaned to his side as he sits atop a gurney, various XWF medical officials tending to his badly busted body. Lacerations, bruises, and debris is scattered across his body as he winces at the feeling of a needle threading his flesh to stitch the gaps Page had created. His eyes glance over to the door, seeing a few people in headless demon costumes pass by, as if in his delirious state, he is expecting someone.

Realization washes over him. The only thing here for him is the camera and the doctors. Sighing, he looks into the camera, mustering some words.

"That's one grudge handled. Perhaps... perhaps it's time I started looking to settle another."

"What do you think, Corey?"

The camera cuts to black after the name is spoken.

OOC: An absolutely fantastic finish to Relentless! Every match was a banger and it truly felt like everyone at all stages wanted to put on the performance of the year. Congratulations to TK, although he already knows how truly happy I am for him. Doc and Bobby put on a match so good, it is every other match they have had or could conceivably have. Madness shined like a star with the U.S. Title match and JB and Big D rocked the house, too. Shoutouts to Corey for choosing an insane stipulation for the Main Event that made every opened briefcase an exciting moment.

But of course, I also have to immensely thank Chris Page. He returned to payoff a big match we had planned for a bit before other matters kicked up and wrote one of my favorite matches I have had the pleasure of reading and was an amazing dancing partner in competition and promotion. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Chris, for opening the biggest night of the year with me!
