The instrumental to We Will Rock You is played over the speakers as PenWing makes his way to ring. He is wearing an old-time Red Wings' Gordie Howe jersey, and carrying a Sherwood hockey stick.


Wow! It's good to be back, although my doctors would rather I stay home. See, they still haven't cleared me to officially return yet. Something about my tests still not matching up with the ones they took before the concussion. But, then, they took those before I joined the RDCW, and as we all know, you gotta be nuts just to step into the ring.

So, why the early return? Well, it seems someone here may have stepped off the deep end. That's right, Oakers, I'm talking about you. Man, what is wrong with you? You want to go 1 on 4 against Dave, the Captain of Outer Space, Roy Batty, AND Sneaky Bunny!? And you want to do it in a steal cage, with no rules!? Dude, your NUTS! And to top that off, you have managed to piss off Nowhereman too! Damn! Talk about being short handed.

Well, maybe I got here too late to do anything about this, but, Nowhereman, if you're not dead-set on putting Oakers in that match with Roy Batty next week, I'd like to challenge him to an old-time hockey fight. The rules are simple. We each step into the ring, one-on-one. We each get one weapon of choice. Oh, and this is a 10 count. If that doesn't set Oakers straight, well then, I don't know what will.

So, if you're interested, Oakers, and if Nowhereman says it's cool, I'm just itching to try out this new Sherwood.

What do ya say?
