Eric Herrera Segment After Daron Smythe Title Defense Once the match ends, the winner’s song fades into Waters Rising by Alter Bridge. The crowd erupts in cheers as Eric walks out with a replica of his old UltraViolence Championship. He chuckles at the camera then taps his championship multiple times. Eric - At Champions Carnival, I get a chance at this. I get a chance to bring it back to it’s rightful owner. But before that happens, I get another belt to add to my collection. He pauses and the video board behind him shows a graphic of the TKW Global Championship match. Eric - Because before all that happens I will get to face you for the TKW Global Championship. You’ve had quite a match against Ethan Murphy, but when Riot comes around, you’re adding a second loss to your record courtesy of me. The Desert Aztec Eric Herrera. Daron starts jawing at him down the ramp but Eric shakes his head. Eric - Then we will know for sure who is really Number One. It sure as hell isn’t you. Believe the Hype. I don’t need no introduction. Eric taps his Ultraviolence Championship multiple times and walks away as Waters Rising by Alter Bridge hits.

A video airs on the screen which the crowd erupts in cheers for. The famous Theme Song Video for the former Society of Destruction. After the video there is a new inscription on the video. "We are taking over. GHW is under new management. The Children of the Damned are coming." The record screeches and shows Eric and Vero in matching suits and ties. "A new era of lucha libre will begin. Gone is the spot monkey era without a story. In comes authentic storytelling and innovation. Innovation where you use the environment to your advantage. Who dares enter our realm of lucha libre? We are open for business. The new era begins now!" The video screeches once more then fades to a map of Baja California and a shot of the second Herrera Training School chapter. Rebuilt after Sickle burned it down previously. "Will you graduate our academy? Only one way to find out." Eric and Vero laugh and smirk at the camera as the scene fades back to the announcers table.

Scene One The scene opens and we are in the HCW Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. More specifically, the backstage area where Lance and Jay are in their locker room. Their HCW tag team championships are draped on their shoulders. They’re drenched in sweat, as if they just finished a workout. They have cans of Coca-Cola nearby and have matching cocky smirks on their face. Jay: Well, this certainly wasn’t expected. Well, the stipulation itself that is. We walked into this match looking to make an impact, but we had no idea it would be for the tag team championships. But we always tend to make history when we step foot into the ring and this is no different. Lance: Next up, we plan to add more to the list. Maybe the AWS tag team championships, if we can convince them to give us a chance. They hadn’t booked us in years, so let’s hope these contracts aren’t a waste. They turn to look at the television near them and have a match airing on it. It’s Scum of the Earth versus The Streamers for the tag team championships. Lance and Jay look amused and turn back to look at the camera. Jay: Well, that looked like a rather easy title defense. It didn’t look much of a challenge. They will try to spin it off as something more, but that looked dominant. Rest assured that if they ever faced us, we would not go down so easily. Lance: I agree. We are former world champions in singles and in tag. We would give them their biggest challenge yet. We have closed three companies as tag team champions. We have usually been pretty dominant when given the chance. That is unless they choose to be like Floyd Mayweather and pick and choose easy opponents to pad their legacy. Jay nods and cracks Coca-Cola cans with him. Then they take a chug and smirk. Jay: If they were really fighting champions, they would give us a chance. But if they don’t, we will take the chance ourselves. Let’s see who management chooses to put in our paths. This should be fun. Lance: Well, we are about to find out, let’s give them a call. We will be right back after these messages. You could hear a dial tone as they start calling the number. The scene fades temporarily. Scene Two Once we return, they turn towards the camera and reveal a picture of the team Switchblade on the television set behind them. They start laughing and then a sigh escape their lips. Jay: It feels like management wanted to give us a break and give us rather easy opponents. I say that because these guys have done nothing worth talking about in this company while we have a loaded resume. It doesn’t matter, because we will still be looking to make an impact in our return to the company. We will choose this match to send to Scum of the Earth to show them exactly what we’re made of. Lance: They have chosen to ignore us for far too long. We already wasted little time winning a championship in our home turf of HCW. It’s time to add to the collection. We will remind them why we are so dominant. And like was said to my step-brother Eric, we are done with the name Southern Blood. We are stepping away from Fathi and his role in our development. We will be known as the Lone Star Outlaws. We don’t want that jackass taking credit for our success. We are doing this on our own and will win this on our own. The camera pans back some to reveal in the background their business manager, Erin Stone, who is on the phone. She waves at the camera, and then it pans back to them. Jay: As you can see, we are under new management. Gone is Fathi and in is Erin Stone, our business manager. She doesn’t have an ego unlike that jabroni. And we are also adding Fallon Henley and our brother, Roger. He didn’t want to leech off the family name, he wanted to earn it. And we both feel he has more than earned it in his time on his own. So we welcome back our older brother, Roger, back into the fray along with our sister, Jessica Williams. The Williams family will be reunited. We are proud to wear the Williams name on television, unlike Fathi who had to change his name and hide who he really is. We’re not cowards like him and never will be. Lance: I can’t believe there was once a point that I looked up to him. But that is dead and gone. I should have listened to my brothers when they warned me about him. But like Jay said, it’s done and over with. He won’t be able to take any credit for our success. He left us in the dust in MCW, in FWA, and in UHW and AWS. All he cares about is himself and his own benefit. They were right all along. We want nothing to do with him. Same goes for Sickle and Scott and those jabronis. We will no longer be known as the Society of Destruction. We want nothing to do with Sickle. We will be knonw as Children of the Damned in honor of Sammael McBane, our fallen leader. That name has a bad reputation with Sickle and we want no part of it while they’re in the company. They nod back at the camera and pick up their tag team titles, showing the name plate to the camera. Jay: The new era begins now. Forget the past, embrace the future. We are the Children of the Damned. We are the Lone Star Outlaws. And we are here to dominate. We are here to stay. Charlie can try to fire us all he wants, he won’t erase our legacy. We built this place, we brought it to these heights, and we can tear it down just as easily if they try to provoke us. But we both know that old geezer knows better than that. Lance: At least we hope he does. Who knows? The guy has fired our family so many times we have lost count. Yet we’re his biggest money maker. Our names are all over the history books in this place. He will never be able to erase our legacy. The fans will never allow it to happen. We will not allow it to happen. We will remind them of that loud and clear here tonight against the Switchblade tag team presented to us today. Welcome to the sacrifice, it will be a worthy one for our fallen leader, Sammael McBane. They nod as the scene fades to black.

Scene One As the scene opens up, we see Roger training in the abandoned warehouse owned by the Society of Destruction. He is seen sparring with several students in the ring. As his training intensifies, we see Eric Herrera enter right around the corner. He has a clipboard on his hand, with a pen attached to it. As Roger finishes up, Eric clears his throat and shows what’s in his hand to Roger. Roger gets tossed a towel by one of the students, he proceeds to clean himself up while Eric nods in his direction. Eric: Good job with the training right there. But I must inform you that a change has been made. I’m sorry, your former opponent left the company. Roger looks confused, Eric shrugs his shoulders back at him. Roger: Do I still get a chance to challenge for the Underground Championship? Eric: Yes, but you will have to earn it by facing our very own co-worker, Erin Stone. Roger looks back at him and tries to dispute it. But Eric shakes his head. Eric: Don’t worry about it. Lone Star Outlaws will still be a success. But challenges like this make you stand out from the rest. Erin is a former champion in her own right. So, if you are able to get through her, all other competition will feel inferior to you. Trust me on that. Roger reluctantly sighs and nods back at him. He goes to pack his bags and gets ready to walk out of the room, but Eric stops him halfway there. Eric: Just remember, this is strictly business. Do not take any of this personally. At the end of the day, Erin Stone is still your business manager. But tests like these are only gonna make you better. Roger nods and walks the rest of the way. The scene fades to black. Scene Two The scene opens up and we see Roger sitting behind a table that is scattered with business material from Jay and Lance’s salvaged car business. Next to him sit Lance and Jay, who each have some Coca-Cola cans next to them. Their HCW Tag Team Championships lay facing up on the table as well. Jay: Remember the plan. We are not gonna go off script on this. The plan was for us to band together and win this together. Don’t you forget it… Roger: I know, but I want to get back my Underground Championship. I was fired unfairly and never got to defend it. And now that Bram isn’t here, I don’t get to have my revenge. Lance nods in his direction, Jay has a wide smirk on his face as well. Jay: We know you are more than worthy of winning that championship. You put this division on the map more than that fraud Fathi ever did. And you didn’t threaten to quit along the way either. But just remember, Erin is a formidable opponent as well. She is a former HCW Chaos Champion. And a very dominant one at that. Roger: Oh I know, but now that the fraud is back in the company, I need to make sure I remind him who’s division is this. The only reason I lost this championship was because Charlie fired me. But I’m gonna make sure everyone remembers who’s house this is. It belongs to the Children of the Damned. In honor of Sammael McBane. Jay: Facts, there is no denying that. If he tries to interfere in our business, he will learn the hard way who’s house this is. We built this place and we made it famous. It doesn’t matter what religion he has, or what his political beliefs are, all that matters is kicking ass and taking names. All that useless garbage is just extra. They all nod and place their arms out, hands on top of each other. Lance: Gone is the name Southern Blood, we will never associate with that trash ever again. In comes Lone Star Outlaws. Our name, our legacy, our rules. FUCK that traitor. The scene fades to black. Scene Three The scene opens up and we see Roger sitting in the HCW Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. His feet are propped on the chair in front of him. A replica of his old AUW Underground Championship lays on his chest. Roger: It seems my original contender realized the error of his ways and chickened his way out of the match. He talked so much smack on the show, all to not deliver. I’m not surprised. Who in their right mind would dare talk smack to a physical specimen like me? The man that single-handedly built this division and made it relevant. There’s very few on this planet that could match me in the ring hold for hold. Even my newly minted opponent knows that personally from our tenure in HCW. He smirks at the camera and nods slowly. Roger: You know what I am talking about. You, Brandy, and Jenny Kay tried to stop me. But I became the HCW World Champion. I held on to that championship longer than anyone in history. I had to vacate it for more competition to show up. I beat everyone in that company twice over. You fed me your family, you fed me your students, NOBODY was on my level. And they still aren’t. You may be my business manager, but when it comes to this ring, there is no equal to me. Whether you’re family, friends, or just co-workers, it doesn’t make a difference. Destruction will always await their destiny when they walk into my path. I didn’t get here by making friends. I got here by destroying everything in my path, including former tag team partners along the way. He points to his replica of the championship and winks. Roger: I heard Fathi is back. Well, he’s gonna need to get in line because this isn’t NCW. This isn’t GFW. This is my house. The house that I have dominated since he’s been away. So if he plans on continuing where he left off, he’s got another thing coming. I don’t give two fucks about Islam or about his political beliefs. I care about making a statement in that ring. And it starts with Erin Stone. And I’m not gonna stop until I get back what was wrongfully taken from me. My Underground Championship will come back home to Papa. I am the rightful champion, anyone else isn’t acceptable. He lays out the championship in front of him and extends his arms out. Roger: If you want this, you know here to find me. Because we all know once we meet in the ring, the result will be the same. Mayhem victorious once again. It’s an inevitability, it’s a fact of life. You can try to delay the inevitable, but history will repeat itself. Erin Stone, it’s not personal, it’s just business. You stand in my way greatness, after this we can talk business. But I will not stop until I get back what’s rightfully mine. Destruction awaits. He winks and clicks his tongue as the scene fades to black.

Scene One The scene opens up and Hector is seen walking into the conference room of the Herrera Training School. Sitting with him is his wife Martha and his cousin Eric. Hector has a yellow envelope sitting on the table with the engravement AWS on it. He has his hand on his forehead as he sighs. Hector: I don't even know why I bother sometimes. It's annoying to see this guy try to recruit us, despite the fact he keeps firing us. It's like he likes messing with us for some reason. Eric: I feel the same way too. Which is why I am thinking about upping the ante if we do join. Hector arches an eyebrow. Hector: What do you mean? Eric chuckles and runs his hands together. Eric: Oh, you will find out soon enough. First, I have to make sure we target the right people. Vero is working on that right now. Hector: I just hope this charade of Charlie using us for his convenience ends. I don't care if he's your father. Something must be done. Eric: Oh, it will be. You can trust me on that. Hector grunts and glares at him. Hector: You better not walk out on us again. Eric: That would kill the plan. But I've already said enough. I'll let Vero get in touch with you about that. Hector looks on confused while Eric walks away. He turns to Martha and she shrugs back at him. Martha: He's weird. I don't know how you put up with him this long. Hector: You don't know the half of it…. Face to black. — Scene Two The scene opens and we are in an abandoned warehouse owned by the Society of Destruction. Hector is sitting with Roger and Vero drenched in sweat from training. Vero has a yellow folder and nods back at them. Vero: Just remember your assignment. We are gonna make sure they remember exactly who we are. Hector: I just hope he learns his lesson from all those firings. He may be Eric’s stepfather but he is annoying as hell. He has a punchable face. Vero chuckles and nods. Vero: Oh that face is gonna get more than just that once we are done with it. Hector: Hopefully there is gold to follow after that. Roger: And pain. There can't be enough pain and punishment. Hector grins and cracks his knuckles. Hector: And we have quite the victim to start with. It turns out he's the boss's son too. Even better. Vero: Now you're getting it. Let's get to work. Roger and Hector: Indeed. Fade to Black. — Scene Three There is a slow clap that is heard as Hector chuckles at the camera. He nods his head and has a smirk on his face. Hector: That was so touching. It sounded so genuine. So genuine that it was … absolutely bullshit. He spits at the floor and laughs. Hector: You spend all that time talking all to get the names wrong. I'm not Eric. I'm Hector. How can you possibly confuse me with my cousin? I have more of a killer instinct in me than he ever did. And I'm much younger by a long shot. There's no line I won't cross to get what's mine. While Eric lets his personal feelings hold him back. There is no real comparison. They don't call me El Diablo for nothing. And don't you forget it. He wins and points at the camera. Hector: For all the talking you did, it's too bad that I don't actually give a shit. It doesn't matter to me whether it's the American Title or the Toys R Us Title. It's just another catalyst to let my voice be heard. I don't give a shit about the prestige or about the fans. I care about leaving a trail of blood in my path and making sure everyone listens to what I have to say. And that's that the end is near. This company has been run by corruption for a long time and it's time for us to cut the cord. He nods and glares at the camera. Hector: For too damn long we have been censored and shut down by someone we thought we could trust. But that ends now. We are taking back control and there is nothing you can do about it. We are taking down the establishment brick by brick. And it starts by targeting the boss's son, Brody. He winks and nods. Hector: It's not personal. It's just business. Remember that. He chuckles and winks. The scene fades to black.
