Chapter - ECW, Verse - 1:
"It's no question about it Too Cold Scorpio, you are one hell of a competitor and I will not be a champion that hides. I stand here, before God and my father in Heaven tonight, as I said I would be: World's Heavyweight champion. In the tradition of Lou Thesz; in the tradition of Jack Brisco; all of the Brisco Brothers; of Dory Funk Jr, of Terry Funk, the man who will never die; and the real “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers upstairs tonight. From the Harley Races, to the Barry Windhams, to the... Ric Flairs, I accept this heavyweight title. Wait a second... wait a second, of Kerry Von Erich, of the fat man himself Dusty Rhodes... this is it tonight Dad, God that's beautiful...and Rick Steamboat... and they can all kiss my ass! Because, I am not the man who accepts the torch to be handed down to me from an organization that died R.I.P. seven years ago! "The Franchise" Shane Douglas is the man who ignites the new flame of the SPORT of professional wrestling. Tonight, before God and my father as witness, I declare... myself, “the Franchise,” as the new ECW heavyweight champion of the world! We have set out to change the face of professional wrestling. So, tonight, let the new era begin! The era of the sport of professional wrestling. The era of the “Franchise.” The era of the E-C-W!"

Chapter - XPW, Verse - 1:
Oh Lizzy you were so right, your husband Rob Black, fell like a big old sucker at the end of a fish pole. We just reeled him in. Oh Rob I love you, Rob you are the greatest husband a wife could ever have, Rob give me these big beautiful diamonds, this big beautiful house, this big beautiful wrestling company called Xtreme Professional Wrestling. Lizzy it worked to perfection, you see I was sitting at home for 15 months collecting great big pay checks and I got a call the call and I say hey, there is nobody more than the Franchise that likes to get calls from beautiful women that know what to do with their men. Boy did you play Rob Black like a piano. You played him like an instrument. You are a concerto meister my sweet heart because you took Rob Black's company and handed it to the Franchise on a golden platter. There once was an asshole named Paul Heyman who had a company that he needed to get over and so he called a man he called the Franchise. I hoisted that company on my shoulders and the rest is legacy, the rest is history. I took it to the Nirvana, to pay per view before that piece of shit bankrupted it. I don't take failure sitting down, Lizzy. I don't take failure just waiting around for the next big thing to come along. When you called me And you told me a company named XPW was the next big thing I sat down and I watched the tape that you sent to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I said Oh my God. They’ve gone further than ECW. They've taken it even more to the extreme than we could do. So I said that's that's the company I want, and that's the place I want to kiss. To be a champion again, sixteen pounds of gold. I've waited a long time, ha ha ha, it was too long. Lizzy I've got to thank you, Rob Black I've got to thank you too. for taking that little company XPW nurturing it along, wanting it, loving it, caressing it, caring for it until it became a company right on the verge a company that Lizzy Borden and I will take back east with me as its flagship, with me as its world heavyweight champion, with me and Lizzy as the owners of the company. Say goodbye Rob Black, you've got a choice to make. It's Extreme associates or it's XPW. But XPW won't be in California much longer. It's going back east with me back where wrestling fans know what wrestling really is. Bye Bye Rob Black, Bye Bye California, Pennsylvania, east coast here we come. Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Chapter - MLW, Verse - 1:
"I heard sombody say, "Franchise, please shoot a little bit for us." I don't think I know another way, so FUCK IT! From the time I was 17 years old, and stepped into this great sport, I have been, along with you people, a mother fucking history maker. In the great predecessor to the great company that these shoulders built, ECW, (Pauses while fans chant ECW.) There once was a predecessor named, the UWF! I became the youngest man in the history of this great sport to hold a major title as the UWF Television Champion. I then made further history by calling out a legendary icon named, "Dick" Flair. I went on to cement that legacy, in this very building, throwing down something that you tried to reserect (points to Corino), the NWA. I took a great company, ECW to pay per view heights. In fact, you people can tell me if I'm wrong. This house is the house "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, mother fucking built. I didn't come to Philly to catch a Phillies game. I came here put another chapter in that legendary book they call, THE FRANCHISE! Whoop your ass, and become the first MLW Champion.
